# The 2011 Medical Molecular Hydrogen Symposium: An inaugural symposium of the journal Medical Gas Research.
> 2011年医療分子水素シンポジウム：水素医学研究の現状と38疾患への有益な効果の概観


## Abstract

This editorial summarizes the background and development of hydrogen research meetings, along with key presentations from the most recent symposium. A total of 38 diseases and physiological conditions were identified for which molecular hydrogen has demonstrated potentially beneficial effects. The report serves as a record of the inaugural symposium associated with the launch of the journal Medical Gas Research, reflecting the growing scope of hydrogen biomedical research.

## Delivery context

The delivery route is not clearly identifiable from this paper. For hydrogen intake, inhalation is the most efficient route; inhalation, however, carries explosion risk (empirical LFL of 10%; high-concentration devices are not recommended).

## Safety notes

The delivery route is not clearly identifiable from this paper. For hydrogen intake, inhalation is the most efficient route; inhalation, however, carries explosion risk (empirical LFL of 10%; high-concentration devices are not recommended).
