Auditory Verbal Therapy
The Speech & Hearing Center is fortunate to have the only therapist certified in Auditory Verbal Therapy (AVT) within a 110 mile radius. We also have a Deaf Educator who is working on her AVT certification.
Why Choose Auditory Verbal Therapy (AVT)?
Per the American Speech-Language Hearing Association, Approximately 95% of parents of children with hearing loss are hearing themselves, and trends indicate that many parents are choosing spoken language as the primary mode of communication for their children with hearing loss. These parents are typically selecting therapy approaches that focus on the development of spoken language acquired exclusively through the use of aided residual hearing. This form of therapy is called Auditory Verbal Therapy (AVT) and the expected outcome of this form of therapy is that the patient will be completely integrated into the community of spoken language and be mainstreamed within both educational and vocational settings.
Who benefits from AVT?
Patients who are maximizing their hearing through amplification and who are devoted to using listening and spoken language as their means of communication. This form of therapy is specifically valuable for those with cochlear implants, but patients with hearing loss who utilize hearing aids are also good candidates for AVT.
How is AVT different from Speech Therapy?
- AVT can begin as soon as a child has been diagnosed with a hearing loss (this includes infants). The earlier the therapy is initiated, the better the results.
- Auditory verbal therapists have been highly trained to use specialized techniques in order to maximize hearing as the primary sense responsible to learning language.
- Parent guidance, coaching, and demonstration is a primary pillar of this therapy so that parents ultimately become the primary facilitator of their child's spoken language development.
- Auditory skills are constantly monitored in order to provide the highest quality of hearing technology in collaboration with the patients' audiologist.
- Like speech therapy, AVT addresses speech and language as well as:
- The hierarchy of auditory skills needed to comprehend speech and language
- Social/pragmatic skills necessary to integrate into the "hearing world"
- Cognitive skills needed to succeed in the mainstream classroom
Feeding Therapy
It is important that your child eat enough to grow and be healthy, and the difference between a fussy eater and a child with a feeding disorder is the impact the eating behavior has on the child's physical and mental health. There are many possible reasons why your child may not eat. He may have stomach or breathing problems, or his muscles may be weak. He may be very sensitive to how foods feel in his mouth. However, there may be no clear reason why your child refuses to eat.
If your child has a feeding and swallowing problem, s/he may:
- Not eat or drink
- Eat only a few types of food
- Cough, gag, and/or choke when eating
- Get food in his lungs, called aspiration
- Throw tantrums or cry at mealtimes
- Have ongoing vomiting problems
- Not eat in specific situations
Who is at high risk?
Feeding disorders are already complex, but when a child also has a developmental disability, it is even more critical to work with a professional that understands the unique needs of the child. High risk populations include children with:
- Nervous system disorders
- Cerebral Palsy
- Meningitis
- Encephalopathy
- Autism Spectrum Disorder
- Heart disease
- Cleft lip or palate
- Gastrointestinal motility disorders
- Prematurity/low birth weight
- Food allergies
- Behavioral management issues
- Reflux
- G-tube (or NG tube)
Scheduling Services
If you feel that you or your child may have a feeding problem, please call 423.622.6900 to schedule an evaluation with a speech-language pathologist.

SEATTLE (AP) Hisashi Iwakuma pitched eight strong innings in his second game back from the disabled list and Mark Trumbo had two RBI singles to lead the Seattle Mariners to a 5-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night.
Iwakuma (1-1) gave up three hits and two walks, and struck out six. He retired the last 13 batters he faced in his longest outing since going eight innings at Philadelphia last Aug. 19.
It was the fourth straight game with at least two hits for Trumbo. He has a seven-game overall hitting streak, and is batting 12 for 22 in that stretch.
Los Angeles starter C.J. Wilson (7-7) gave up three runs and five hits in 6 2-3 innings, walking four and striking out five. It was the ninth time in his last 10 starts that Wilson lasted at least six innings.

Primitive Christianity Revived, Again
Yesterday, someone who visited this blog asked what interpretation I meant to ascribe to readings. Most of the time I really am not trying to interpret the text. I am just trying to hear what it says, connect what it says to New Testament writing and to Quaker writers that most of us are familiar with. I guess the overall interpretation I have of scripture is this - that while it is not really a piece of literature - it is more a library of books that have been written over many thousands of years - it has the character of "a piece of literature" because it has been authored and redacted by a "community" of people who have all bought in to a vision of reality that seems to be this: that the Creator God/Power/Spirit created man/humankind to be "like Him" or the "likeness" of that great entity, but that man has not been true to that goal and as a result a "conflict" arose in the story (history), which is still being worked out. That conflict causes great tragedy and disruption of the relationship God intended and over the many years of history that have passed, there have been some successes, and a lot of failures in working out that original intention. But there remains a constant hope and vision that the original purpose of our creation may someday - at the end of the conflict-driven history of man - come to fruition. I think early Christians thought that day was going to arrive very soon after Christ's death and resurrection, but it didn't. I think early Friends thought that that day was arriving with their more spiritual grasp of the message Christ brought; but it didn't in the end. The readings we've been looking at -- Ezekiel and now Joel, and certainly Revelation -- all see in deeply symbolic and mystical visions that are very similar a promise that this ultimate victory WILL COME. But when and how? In the future? In the present in a spiritual way? For all mankind or for us in individual moments of deep insight and faithfulness? I don't know.
Introductory information in the Jerusalem Bible indicates that the book may have been written around 400 BC, post-exile, when there was no king, more focus on public worship and a reliance on some of the earlier prophets, especially Ezekiel and Obadiah. Joel's contribution to the prophetic tradition is his emphasis on "outpouring of the Spirit on all God's people in the messianic age" (1140-1141). Early Christians saw this prophesy fulfilled with the coming of the Spirit on the followers of Christ at the Pentecost gathering described in Acts 1. "Joel is the prophet of Pentecost" (1141).
Joel 1 – A plague of locusts and other vermin has invaded the land and laid it waste. "For a nation has invaded my country, mighty and innumerable; its teeth are the teeth of lions, it has the fangs of a lioness. It has laid waste my vines and torn my fig trees to pieces" (1:6-7).
"The priests, the ministers of Yahweh, are in mourning. Wasted lie the fields; the fallow is in mourning. For the corn has been laid waste, the wine fails, the fresh oil dries up" (1:9-10). And "gladness has faded among the sons of men" (1:12).
The ministers of the Lord should put on sackcloth and lament, for "the house of our God has been deprived of oblation and libation" (1:13). The day of Yahweh is near, Joel says.
Joel 2 – The land is desolate, so the prophet cries out to Yahweh. "Sound the trumpet in Zion, give the alarm on my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the country tremble, for the day of Yahweh is coming, yes, it is near" (2:1).
The Day of Yahweh will be a day of "darkness and gloom, day of cloud and blackness" (2:2). The coming of the locusts is described again, this time as if it were an invading army. "Like fighting men they press forward, like warriors scale the walls, each marching straight ahead, not turning from his path" (2:7).
But it is the Lord, Yahweh, who leads this army on. "Yahweh makes his voice heard at the head of his army, and indeed his regiments are innumerable, all-powerful is the one that carries out his orders, for great is the day of Yahweh, and very terrible—who can face it?" (2:10-11).
But, instead of urging destruction as we might expect, the voice of the Lord says this – Come back! "'come back to me with all your heart, fasting, weeping, mourning.' Let your hearts be broken, not your garments torn; turn to Yahweh your God again, for his is all tenderness and compassion, slow to anger, rich in graciousness, and ready to relent" (2:12-13).
Everyone should assemble and pray to God not to make his heritage a thing of shame. Yahweh will answer this prayer. "Sound the trumpet in Zion! Order a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly . . . [let everyone say] 'Spare your people, Yahweh! Do not make your heritage a things of shame . . . why should it be said among the nations, 'Where is their God?'" (2:17).
Revelation 20 – An angel from heaven comes down with the "key to the Abyss" (20:1) in his hand. He overpowers the dragon (the devil and Satan) and chains them up for 1000 years. He will be released at the end of 1000 years, but only for a short time.
The martyrs come to life then too and reign with Christ for this 1000 years – the "first resurrection" (20:4), but the rest of the dead stay in the Abyss.
When the 1000 years are over, Satan will be released and will come out to deceive the nations. Armies will be mobilized for war and they will besiege the saints. They will soon be overthrown and consumed. Then the One on the great white throne will see earth and sky vanish and the book of life will be opened. Hades will be emptied of the dead and all will be judged "according to the way in which he had lived" (20:14).
"Then Death and Hades will be thrown into the burning lake. This burning lake is the second death; and anybody whose name could not be found written in the book of life was thrown into the burning lake" (20:15).

Former Highlanders and Triangle United coach Kelvin Kaindu has been linked with a return to Zimbabwe.
Kaindu who is now in charge of Power Dynamos in his native country, Zambia is reportedly being targeted by Ngezi Platinum Stars as Tonderai Ndiraya's replacement.
The Mhondoro-based side parted ways with Ndiraya at the start of this month after the gaffer fell behind in the title race.
However, Ngezi secretary-general Cloete Munjoma has refuted the reports linking their team to the Zambian.
"Who said that? When we parted ways with our former coach Ndiraya, we made information available to everyone and we will do the same when we make an appointment," Munjoma told the Chronicle.
Meanwhile, Madinda Ndlovu, Callisto Pasuwa and Rahman Gumbo have also been linked with the team.

Over the last few months it seems the European asset management industry is facing new competitors. In the past the main competitors of the European fund industry were U.S. asset managers who launched funds in Ireland and Luxembourg to conquer the European markets. Nowadays, there are still U.S. managers starting new businesses in Europe, but we also see an increasing number of Asian asset managers moving to Europe to take their share of the European market. To discover more about the rationale behind the move of Asian asset managers to Europe, Detlef Glow—Lipper's Head of EMEA research—has spoken with Goh Soo May, Director Fixed Income, Frank Lim, Director Product Specialist and Eamon Keaveny, Director Head of Business Development Middle East & Continental Europe at Lion Global Investors in Singapore.
Lion Global Investors (LGI) was established in 1986 as OCBC Asset Management and is wholly owned by Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC). The ownership is split into two stakes: 70% is held by Great Eastern Holdings Limited, which belongs to the insurance company Great Eastern, and 30% is held by Orient Holdings Private Limited. Both shareholders are part of the OCBC group. According to the corporate presentation, LGI has US$25.8 billion in assets under management as of June 30, 2014. The majority of these assets are held in segregated accounts (85.4%), while insurance-linked products and unit trusts account for 6.0% each. The company's headquarters is in Singapore, while it also has regional offices in Malaysia and Brunei. It is noteworthy that LGI—in 2011—was one of the first local Asian asset managers starting to conduct business in Europe.
Asked why LGI has started an operation in Europe instead of growing its business in Asia, Mr. Lim said that LGI wanted to diversify its asset base, i.e., it wanted to generate inflows from new/different sources such as European retail and institutional investors. He also explained that the competition between asset managers in Asia is very strong and that it is hard to convince Asian investors to invest in mutual funds, since there are all kinds of investment opportunities available to them. Ms. Goh added that even retail investors would rather buy stocks on the exchange than use mutual funds for their investments. In addition, insurance companies gather a large portion of retail savings, which is then not available for mutual fund investments.
In contrast, it is clear that investors in Europe are looking for opportunities to enhance their returns and therefore are buying Asian bonds. Since LGI specializes in managing Asian bonds and equities, it sees a good chance for raising additional assets. According to Mr. Keaveny, the local business and staff base is one of the biggest competitive advantages for Asian asset managers, since they know even the small local companies that are not usually covered by analysts of larger stock brokers. This seems to be especially true for LGI; it shows an Asian focus also in the staff base, with only 2 of the 150 employees being from the Western world. Ms. Goh said that LGI specializes in offering niche products to differentiate itself from its competitors. She explained that large Western asset management companies often focus on "plain-vanilla" strategies, while LGI focuses on niche local investment opportunities identified by an experienced indigenous team who understands Asia better. The LGI team uses the resources from both equity and bond analyses, as well as the in-house market knowledge gathered through the company's team-based structure.
From my point of view there is a good chance the Asian asset managers who start business in Europe can become successful. But they need to be sure they really offer and deliver added value to investors. Otherwise, European investors might rather invest in Asia with asset managers with whom they are familiar. I also believe that Asian asset managers can deliver added value with their local approaches for niche strategies, which might lead to additional inflows to these products. In this regard it would be key that the new asset managers have a proven track record to showcase their areas of expertise. Even though Asian fund promoters know UCITS very well (this legal structure is also widely used in Asia), they need to ensure that they use the right infrastructure (platform) to enable investors to buy and sell their funds. In addition, it might be helpful if new asset managers, regardless of where they are domiciled, offer a greater-than-needed transparency to convince investors about their funds. This means, I assume, that local Asian asset managers will meet their own goals if they are able to meet the needs of European investors.

FC Cincinnati General Manager Gerard Nijkamp discussed with media members on Thursday morning the league-wide suspension of MLS matches for 30 days in response to the spread of novel coronavirus.
Cincinnati Enquirer
Major League Soccer is extending its suspension of regular-season play and is now targeting a May 10 return to league play.
MLS, which announced last week it was suspending play for an initial period of 30 days, announced Thursday it would extend the suspension in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) recommendation against gatherings of 50-plus people for eight weeks.

Located between The United States of America and the Central America, the country of Mexico is simply a breathtaking place to explore. With its Pacific and Gulf of Mexico beaches, diverse terrain filled with jungles, mountains as well as deserts, and dotted with ancient Mayan ruins, Mexico is a place which is rich with culture, history and breathtakingly beautiful landscapes. The beautiful luxury homes in Mexico are the perfect houses where you can spend your days indulging in the ultimate luxury and comfort, as you spend your days in this awe-inspiring country. There are so many attractions and beautiful places in Mexico that exploring the whole country in one visit is almost impossible. However, to get you started, here are the top three things which you must try out while you spend your vacation in this breathtaking country.
1. Explore the Mayan ruins
The ancient Mayan civilization was built on the grounds of current Central and North America many centuries ago. The country of Mexico also has its fair share of Mayan ruins dotted throughout its landscape. Visiting these ancient ruins today is like taking a step back through the time, and it is one of the things that you must experience while you are in Mexico. Chichen Itza is the most visited Mayan ruin in Mexico, and it is considered one of the 'New 7 Wonders of the World'. The Mayan ruins of Tulum is located on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea, which makes it one of the most picturesque ruins that you can visit in Mexico. However, if you are appalled by the touristy nature of these sites, you can visit Ek Balam, a relatively lesser known site which what built anywhere during 100 BC and 300 AD.
2. Visit Los Cabos
The beautiful province of Los Cabos is one of the ultimate places you can visit to have an insanely beautiful seaside holiday. This region of Mexico enjoys almost 350 days of sunshine every year and boasts off a coastline which stretches nearly 1400 miles from the Sea of Cortez to the Pacific Ocean. With this huge coastline, Los Cabos has some of the most beautiful beaches you can find in the country. Playa Del Amor or the Lovers Beach is particularly popular for its isolated location, and lean, white sand beach. The most iconic site of Los Cabos is probably the Arch of Cabo San Lucas. This beautiful arch formation made of limestone creates a truly iconic image of Los Cabos, which has become almost synonymous with its name. You have to visit Los Cabos if you want to enjoy a beautiful seaside vacation in Mexico.
3. Roam around the historic centre of Mexico City
The Mayan people had built their ancient empire on Lake Texcoco in the Valley of Mexico. This great city was connected by various canals and guarded by fortresses. However, when the Spaniards arrived in the 16th Century, they destroyed this city, drained the lake, and built a 'city of palaces' over its ruins which served as the capital of New Spain. After gaining its independence, Mexico did not move its capital. The added stylistic influences on top of these ancient ruins have moulded into what we know as the centre of Mexico City today. Its museums, cathedrals, and temples sing a song of an ancient past. It houses the second largest public square in the world, the Zocalo, which is a short distance away from various other important sites. A walk through this historic centre of Mexico City is a must, while you spend your vacation in Mexico.

More redemption than full-blooded passion
sweet lime and tangerines
Sunset on a beach in California
is the only thing I can write about today.
Rage-filled and obstinate, lonely and guilty,
I search for the poem that will make you sorry,
I search for that perfect alliance of sounds and syllables
you cannot slink out of understanding.
But still my fingers keep flying over the keyboard
composing stanzas about sunset
on a beach in California.
Under the last light of the sun
mirrored by deep green waves
in the palm of a hand composed
of sea, sand, cliffs, and endless sky,
there is no need for
And although
you probably stopped reading
at the first sentence,
halfway across the country the sun in sinking down to sleep
over a pearl necklace of beaches
in that state of citrus and salt water.
As long as our Copernican planet
keeps turning like a woman tanning on a towel,
here, to let Africa get a little light,
here, to America,
As long as the phoenix sun falls in love with the sky every morning,
I can rotate on my own axis.
I let gravity spin me like the ballerina
that George Melitonovitch Ballanchine dreamed of.
Always turning my face towards somewhere beautiful:
wet sand,
cool water.

rage, sadness, that's what readers want to read...they want to see us at our worst, and then they can say our writing is at its best.
they live to watch our torture..
kind of ironic...for me anyway...
often when i am in contented state of mind, i will drift into poetry that is full of sorrow, rage, ugliness..and my friends will read it and ask if i am okay...when really it was just poetry...we use old feelings, old pain to write now..like an actor using old emotions to emote for a sad scene...
actually i was just wonderful..feeling good and creating..
but then...when i write something about love, romance, happy...then they ask me about my new relationship..when often there is not one of those either.
but this poem got to me...it reminded me that happy poetry is harder to write...sad poetry flows much more easily.
i really like your writing..the sonnet seemed a little forced into form for me...but then i'm not fond of focusing too much on form for a poem...to me it will override the feelings the poem might convey if the piece is less contrived...
these other three of yours are unique..and full of emotion..
thanks for the reads.

Stumbled upon your page when your "name" caught my eye....being a huge "Macbeth" fan, I couldn't pass up having a look at writing by Hecate...
Love this piece...especially the way you "tease" the reader...starting out with a calm image of a California sunset, then bringing in the strong emotions of rage, guilt and loneliness...and then right back to the California sunset....yes. Very effective.
The cyclical imagery is nice too..."like a woman tanning on a towel.." Making sure all sides become equally sun-drenched....and the ballerina spinning, looking for that beauty as well....
Nice write. Glad I found your page...

I find it particularly frustrating when I am in a sorry, low-down, suck-ass mood, and a beautiful poem pops out of it, about something entirely other than...
And I hate when I write something that is veiling something horrible, and people say, oh how WONDERFUL you ache and bleed on a page! Oh how wonderfully you suffer for our enjoyment!
Not that I think you're suffering much, mind you... but a terrible mood and a wonderful poem, and a "OH THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL" isn't what I find the happiest comment.
I like what you were writing, between the sunset postcard cover skin your poem veiled itself in. I understand it much better than a california sunset anyway... and its certainly more real and felt than a postcard.

This is interesting.
It has a certain depth, but then also nonchalance, as if it was seemingly easy and each word and its meaning clicked directly in your heart.
It is a beautiful piece, and i am still wondering quite how you did it.
Well done

i dont know if this ends where i thought it would or not.
i was half expecting the ending to be some kind of covert slap in the face of the person for/of whom this piece was constructed...
but it doesnt seem to be.
it seemed to me that you found a better way of being. a better thing to focus on. a better way to see the world. realisation perhaps that you could sit round trying to make this person see things the way they are and see themselves for who/what they are or you can find yourself and the way you work and realign yourself with your axis once more.
i think this is a beautiful piece.
i like the way you assume the intended reader has stopped reading and never got any futher than the first line as if there have been many pieces before this piece and its all a bit of a joke now... you know?
i really like this piece.
i havent seen you round much in the last forever... its nice to read your words again

1.2. The Client is asked to read these terms carefully before hiring a vehicle with the Rental Firm. These terms tell the Client who the Rental Firm is, how the Rental Firm will provide vehicles to the Client, how the Client and the Rental Firm may change or end the contract, what to do if there is a problem and other important information. If the Client thinks that there is a mistake in these terms [or require any changes], please contact the Rental Firm to discuss.
2.1. The Client can contact the Rental Firm by telephoning the Rental Firm's customer service team or by writing to the Rental Firm using the contacts provided in the Rental Firm's website.
2.2. If the Rental Firm has to contact the Client, it will do so by telephone or by writing to the Client at the email address or postal address the Client provided to the Rental Firm in the order.
2.3. When we use the words "writing" or "written" in these terms, this includes emails.
3.1. If you cancel your reservation more than 48 hours prior to the scheduled check-in date, you will be entitled to receive a flexible travel voucher of the same total amount you paid for your booking.

How Do I Know I'm Suffering From Sleep Bruxism?
Sleep bruxism as you can imagine can cause many issues for individuals in both the short and the long term.
Often one of the biggest problems that occurs with people who suffer from sleep bruxism is that they are unable to identify that they are grinding or clenching during the night. Therefore, the effects of bruxism can cause significant damage to the teeth and be affecting one's well being without them realising. It's important to pay attention to your body and note any changes, particularly in the teeth or any oral pain.
To help identify whether you may be suffering from bruxism, you should ask yourself the below questions:
Do you have dreams about your teeth either breaking or falling out?
Do you have neck pain?
Do you have facial or jaw pain?
Do you get earaches?
Do you have a clicking sound in your jaw?
Do all of your front teeth look like they're the same length or appear flat?
Do you have generalized pain in the area below the ears?
Are your parents or siblings grinders?
Does anyone else hear you grinding your teeth at night?
Are any of your teeth loose?
Do you have teeth sensitivity?
Do you have a white line on the inside of your cheek?
Do you wake up in the morning with a dull headache?
Are the edges of your tongue scalloped?
The chances are if you are answering yes to even just one or two of these questions, you could be suffering from sleep bruxism, grinding or clenching. Want to know how we can help you? Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or request a call to speak to one of our consultants today.

This blog's mere existence suggests that I am socially maladjusted, nor does my reviewing of books by controversial authors like Esther Vilar debunk that myth.
And now, having thus smoothly introduced this blogpost (that was not selfconscious or awkward at all!) here is my long overdue promised review of The Polygamous Sex by Esther Vilar.
Simply, it is not a very heartwarming book. Certainly not motivational. The tagline is "a man's right to the other woman." That hotly behind "The Polygamous Sex." Cover art? Man dragging multiple women behind him by their hair! What is Esther Vilar trying to do here?
Foolhardy me, I open the book nonetheless. The premise is that men predominantly marry dependents (less intelligent, younger, weaker women than themselves) and then seek sex partners (intellectual equals) outside the marriage. The problem is that the men are not consciously aware of the nature of the initial blunder, or their motivations in the subsequent blunder, therefore often the same error is repeated. The women play along because it works well enough for them; indeed modern society runs on and perpetuates this script.
For example you have probably heard a Nairobi slay queen say her man must be more intelligent than she is. This ensures a fatal intellectual mismatch for the relationship. After the initial novelty wears thin he will begin to run around behind her back in search of an intellectually fulfilling conversation. Cue cries of "Emotional Infidelity!" I am oversimplifying here.
It is an easy premise to dismiss at face value, but she presents it early, and spends the rest of the book exhibiting the truth of this in a comprehensive spectrum of varied relationships. And it is like reading all the minutiae of a train crash in slow motion. Simultaneously outrageous and oddly gra tifying.
Many are the times I turned from the book in disgust at myself only to remember that the book is not written against me specifically. It is that effective at opening up a man's mind to himself. Vilar has the mind of a man figured out and she is not sorry. The book tells you exactly why a man will seek additional lovers in a way that makes you commiserate with the poor man. He is just seeking an (one) intellectual equal, but he ends up amassing a herd of helpless, blonde damsels in distress who he can't love like he really wants to coz he's gotta play dad and they are too happy to play daughters (pardon my oversimplification of the case). At some point early in the book I said "whoa, looks like Vilar's got an incest fetish" but further reading revealed that suspicion to be my mind backfiring on itself.
Now the copy of the book that I read was ruined by bursts of parenthetical italicized commentary scattered at various points in the text by one KJ. Now clarifying Vilar's words, now objecting, now correcting her, now opining contrarily... Why didn't KJ do the right thing by avoiding the interruption of a very important literary work? Why didn't KJ write a separate dissenting blog post instead, to preserve the flow of ideas in the book? We will never know. I for one did not appreciate that ill-masked attempt to upstage Esther Vilar. I inwardly resent having to acknowledge said KJ here, that idle busybody.
And now in closing, consequences. The blasted book shed an unexpected light on my relationship. If it is to be believed, our love affair is doomed; it only seems like love because neither of us has finished idealizing the other, and our fatal flaw is our intellectually unequal partnership. The damned book made me realize it. I was sad about it for almost three days, seeing no way around it but immediate breakup. But other concerns overtook my mind and then I was okay for months, having forgotten, but now I am sad again because writing this infernal review has reminded me.
Let me call her.

After >60 years since the first treatment, particle radiation therapy (RT) is now used to treat various types of tumors worldwide. Particle RT results in favorable outcomes, especially in local control, because of its biological properties and excellent dose distribution. However, similar to other types of cancer treatment, metastasis control is a crucial issue. Notably, immunotherapy is used for cancer treatment with high risk for recurrence and/or metastasis. These 2 cancer therapies could be ideal, complementary partners for noninvasive cancer treatment. In this review, we will focus on preclinical studies combining particle RT, especially carbon ion RT, and immunotherapy.
When compared with conventional photon radiation therapy (RT), carbon ion (C-ion) RT has a higher antitumor effect and is less damaging to normal tissues surrounding the tumor [1–3]. For some difficult cancers, such skull base, sarcoma, and pancreatic cancer, C-ion RT alone or combined with chemotherapy significantly prevented or delayed the development of distant metastasis, with improved survival and local control [1]. However, metastasis and local recurrence are crucial issues for the improvement of the C-ion RT outcomes.
In this review, we discuss the progress of animal models treated with C-ion RT combined with immunotherapy (IT) and future developments of this combination therapy.
Immunotherapy as a Partner of Radiation Therapy
The human immune system has potential to eliminate cancer, as shown by spontaneous regression in some cases. However, the immune system is not able to block tumor growth for several reasons, such as immunosuppression caused by myeloid-derived suppressor cells, regulatory T cells, and cytokines [4–6] during the escape phase of cancer immunoediting [7, 8]. Therefore, IT was designed to boost the natural immune system and eliminate cancer by administering cancer-specific antibodies, cytokines, cancer vaccines, and immune-checkpoint inhibitors, as well as other therapies (Figure 1). In addition, IT is able to attack small tumors that cannot be detected by conventional methods and can retain the ability to kill cancer cells long after treatment [9].
It is thought that most cancer treatments, including RT, involve immune-mediated systems. In particular, RT is believed to possess strong potential in combination with IT. Unlike surgical therapy, irradiated cancer cells die in the body after irradiation. These dead cancer cells may act as tumor antigens and be taken up by phagocytes (Figure 1). In previous reports [10–13], RT- and chemoRT-induced immunogenic cell death is preceded or accompanied by the emission of a series of immunostimulatory, damage-associated molecular patterns in a precise spatiotemporal configuration [14, 15]. The radiation-induced immunogenic cell death might act as an in situ tumor vaccine and is a crucial process to initiate anticancer immune responses [16]. In addition, clinical case reports demonstrated that RT sometimes induced tumor regression of nonirradiated tumors [17–21]. These phenomena, known as the abscopal effect, may be involved in the immune response, secondary to irradiation-induced cancer cell death. If it becomes possible to regulate and/or enhance the RT-induced abscopal effect, we may move a step closer to cancer control. Therefore, an increasing body of basic research combining RT and IT has been carried out in immune-competent animal models [13, 22–40]. These studies can be categorized based on the index of evaluation, as shown Figure 2. There may be a tendency showing that the abscopal effect was enhanced by, or was only functional by, combination treatment with IT. However, even though it does not show a clear abscopal effect, RT combined with IT treatment prevented tumor growth or distant metastasis [41]. In addition, several clinical trials have already been started for combined photon RT (or chemoRT) and IT [42–46].
Basic Studies on the Combination of Particle Beam and Immunotherapy
Even though particle beams might have several biological advantages for use in combination with IT, basic science studies on the combination are still limited (Table 1).
Mouse studies on the combination of IT with C-ion were published in 2010 by 2 independent groups [47, 48]. Both articles used bone marrow (BM)-derived dendritic cells (DCs) as IT. The DCs were administered by intratumoral injection after irradiation. They are the most potent population of the antigen-presenting cells and the key mediator in generating therapeutic immunity against cancer [49, 50]. Matsunaga et al [47] used 2 experimental models: (1) syngeneic C3H/He mice inoculated with poorly immunogenic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC VII), and (2) mammary carcinoma FM3A cells. Before administration, DCs were activated by infection with recombinant Sendai virus after a coculture with SCC VII lysate as the tumor antigen. These were administered multiple times following irradiation. Researchers showed that C-ion irradiation resulted in tumor elimination, rejection of secondary tumor inoculation, and T-cell activation. These antitumor effects were enhanced by the combination of DC IT.
On the other hand, we reported a study [48] that used a syngeneic model of highly metastatic SCC NR-S1-implanted C3H/He mouse. In the article [48], we evaluated the effect of the combination treatment based on metastasis suppression. For IT, we administrated α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer)–treated, BM-derived DCs on day 1.5 after irradiation by intratumoral injection. We chose lower radiation doses, which could not significantly repress the growth of the irradiated tumor. Because high-dose irradiation significantly inhibits tumor growth, it is difficult to evaluate the nature of C-ion–induced metastasis inhibition. Specifically, it is unclear whether such irradiation has a direct effect on the metastatic process, such as the invasive potential or if it is just a consequence of growth inhibition (Figure 3). In this setting, treatments with either α-GalCer DCs or C-ion irradiation decreased the numbers of metastatic nodules. When the combination of immature DCs IT and C-ion irradiation was used, the number of lung metastatic nodules was drastically reduced. Interestingly, DC treatment had no effect on tumor growth whether with C-ion treatment or without. We further showed that the lung tissue of the NR-S1–implanted mice exhibited increased expression of S100A8, which is a marker of premetastatic change. The S100A8 protein and messenger RNA expression were not affected by either C-ion irradiation or DC treatment. However, the lung tissues of the combination therapy group showed repressed S100A8 expression at 7 days after C-ion irradiation.
In many reports, BM-derived DCs were used as IT in tandem with RT. However, the DCs were treated with different activators or modifiers, such as α-GalCer [48] or tumor lysate [47], even though the combination treatment resulted in significant effects in all cases. In addition, radiation treatment combined with the administration of Flt3 ligand, which stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of DCs, also expanded radiation-induced antitumor effects [34, 38]. This suggests that BM-derived DCs themselves or the various treatments for immune activation were the essential factors. For example, DCs with α-GalCer treatment are thought to activate natural killer T cells. Therefore, we evaluated whether these modifications are essential or not for the combination treatment. When we used BM-derived immature DCs or α-GalCer-treated DCs in combination with C-ion RT, lung metastasis was suppressed in both cases [51]. This result highlights that C-ion irradiation has enough potential to activate immature DCs without pre-treatment. Furthermore, we also compared different methods for the administration of DCs. Because particle therapy has an advantage in treating tumors that are located deep in the body, intratumoral injection is not a suitable way for combination treatment. Among the methods compared, intravenous injection was shown to be highly effective in preventing lung metastasis. Further investigation is necessary to elucidate the precise mechanisms involved, such as tracking the injected DCs. In addition, we confirmed the efficacy with other mouse models using different cancer cell lines and mouse strains to expand the application of combination C-ion RT and DC IT. As a result, C-ion RT combined with DC IT significantly suppressed lung metastasis. Furthermore, we have shown that, even when exposed to the equivalent, relative biological effectiveness dose of C-ion and photon, the combination with photon could not be induced to the same level [51]. This result highlights that C-ions may be more effective in activating the immune system.
Advantage of Particle Radiotherapy for Use in Combination with Immunotherapy
As a partner to immune combination therapy, are particle beams as effective as, or more advantageous than, photon beams? Even when exposed to the same relative biological effectiveness dose, particle and photon beams are known to induce different bioresponses.
There are several reports demonstrating the effect of particle beams on metastatic potential. In some cases, x-ray treatment–enhanced metastatic potential [52], but the C-ion beam effectively suppressed it [53], with examples like migration [54–58] and invasion [55–57, 59] of cancer cell lines with in vitro assays. In addition, C-ion beam treatment inhibited in vitro angiogenesis at sublethal doses [60] as well as the expression of angiogenesis mediators [59, 61]. In immune-competent mouse models, C-ion significantly suppressed lung metastasis [55, 62].
In recent years, increasing amounts of research assert that substantial heterogeneity derived from clonal evolution exists within tumors, leading to varying radioresistance within a target [63–66]. Coupled with cancer stem cell (CSC)-like cells and also quiescent cells are known for their photon irradiation resistance and are correlated with repopulation of local recurrence after treatments, and the treatment of any individual tumor grows increasingly complex. In vitro experiments showed that CSC-like cells and quiescent cells have more resistance to irradiation with x-rays than C-ion compared with non-CSC-like cells or total cells [67–69]. In addition, Zhang et al [58] reported that CSC-like cells were more sensitive to proton irradiation than photons were. These findings indicated that particle RT is suitable for suppressing the dependency on the heterogeneity within tumors.
Some articles showed that particle beams induce the opposite results or that they induce similar bioresponses as photon irradiation [70–73]. The presence of contradicting reports may indicate the need to clarify the differences in outcome between the RT types used and between different cancers. Basic biological research focused on particle beams is still limited. In particular, to compare the effects on immunological response between different types of RT and/or methods of therapy (hypofractionation, hyperfractionation, among others) are essential issues for further development of particle RT combined with IT.
Future Developments
Despite the superior local control achieved with particle therapy, improvement in overall survival is limited because of distant metastasis [74]. Therefore, it is essential to find the optimal "combination partner" for particle RT to improve clinical outcomes.
Basic research on particle beams combined with IT is still limited to experimental models and the types of IT. However, these results show that, even with a lower dose, C-ion RT has substantial potential to activate the immune system. Such lower irradiated dose might be able to induce cell death in some tumor cells. However, it is enough to activate the immune system in both in vitro assays and mouse models [41]. Excellent dose distribution of particle therapy reduced damaged volume of normal tissues, including the BM and skin. In addition, C-ion RT showed good local control. These features allow us to select different types of IT as a partner for C-ion RT, such as immune system modulators, immune checkpoint inhibitors, myeloid-derived suppressor cells inhibitors, and cytokines, which act via the immune system of the patient.
Preclinical experiments for combining photon RT with various types of IT were previously reported. Combination with an immune-checkpoint inhibitor was first reported in 2005 [37], and many reports were published in the past few years [25, 28, 31, 35, 36, 40, 75, 76]. In addition, clinical trials for photon RT combined with immune-checkpoint inhibitors have already been started. Because particle RT could have an advantage for cancer treatment, it is expected that immune-checkpoint inhibitors may also be efficient in combination with particle RT. Moreover, because of the difference in mechanisms involved among conventional ITs and immune-checkpoint inhibitors, it may be of value for evaluating triple-combination antitumor effects, as already described in some reports [28, 35]. However, there are many variations in immune response, including the differing effects of immune cell lines. Combination therapy approaches considering the tumor microenvironment could serve as starting points [77].
The reports regarding RT combined with IT demonstrate drastic antitumor effects, but there have not been any reports, to our knowledge, on mouse models in which the combination effect could not be observed (except for immunodeficient or CD8-depleted mice). Because the clinical results showed that spontaneous regression (or abscopal effects) was not observed in all cases [78], it is important to investigate inefficient models for combination RT as well as the efficient cases. In addition, very aggressive or treatment-resistance models, such as the 4T1 breast cancer model [4, 39], are required to develop C-ion combined IT because these difficult-to-cure cancers are the targets for C-ion RT. It is expected that comparison among these mouse models might lead us to further understand the underlying mechanisms of combination RT, which influence the outcomes of individual patients.

Remember going to the dentist? I don't think anyone would call it fun, but for children who grew up wearing braces, it could be downright painful.
Khallida Hopkins, a hair stylist and mother, remembers the pain of tightening day.
"Every month you would get them tightened down and like one hour after that you would get so sore, you didn't want to eat anything, at least not chew it. The teeth would be moving and your teeth would be so sore", Khallida says.
Now, fast forward 20 years and Khallida's own daughter, 11-year-old Shanice, is having her teeth straightened in a whole new way, without braces. Instead, Shanice is having her teeth straightened through something called The Healthy Start System, using a series of soft, removable oral appliances that may be worn at night instead of all the time.
The devices are meant to slowly guide the teeth, rather than push or pull them into a healthy position.
"It's not straightening the teeth as much as it is guiding them to where they are supposed to be in the first place, guiding the jaw to the right position and the teeth to the right position", says Grant Sadler, CEO of GMS Dental Centers of Excellence in Houston.
Inventors of Healthy Start say there is no pain, no ugly wires or rubber bands, no need to pull out or remove teeth and no need to wear an appliance 24/7.
And then there is the cost.
"To have traditional braces you are talking about $6,000 for roughly 24 months in bands, but the Healthy Start System is $3,750, so there is a substantial savings here," says Sadler.
Shanice has been using the Healthy Start System for one year, and she says her teeth are straighter.
She says her face is also more slender.
But what Shanice likes best is that she can take the device out of her mouth when she goes to school and to parties.
"I also love the fact that I can get my picture taken, and not have to hide a mouth full of braces," Shanice says
The Healthy Start System is available at GMS Dental Centers, as well as other dental facilities.
