Is Lymphatic Balancing the Missing Ingredient to Success in Your Practice?
Kerry D’Ambrogio, DOM, AP, PT, DO-MTP & Tracey Clark DO (MP), DCMOEBCurriculums:
This article talks
about Lymphatic Balancing history and development and how the lymphatic system
works. Dr. Kerry D’Ambrogio said “The
ability to incorporate lymphatic balancing into treatment will also promote
healing from the inside out by helping to create an internal environment that
is conducive to healing.”
New Players in the Obesity Puzzle: The Brain’s Glial Cells
Diana KwonCurriculums:
Discoveries about the roles they play in appetite and metabolism could unlock new strategies against obesity Despite major advances in understanding how neurons control the body’s metabolic processes, scientists are still far from finding a cure for obesity, which has reached pandemic levels in many countries. Researchers investigating glia hope that focusing on these long-overlooked cells will provide some much-needed advances.
How to Hold Space for Yourself
Azriel ReShelCurriculums: Healing From the Core, Zero Balancing,
We all need to hold space for ourselves if we are going to be able to live life in a healthy and balanced way. This article gives you 9 Vital keys to holding space for yourself.
A comprehensive physical therapy approach including visceral manipulation after failed biofeedback therapy for constipation
L. Archambault-Ezenwa, J. Brewer, A. MarkowskiCurriculums:
This article is about techniques in coloproctology, and a comprehensive physical therapy after failed surgery.
The Effects of Cranio-Sacral Therapy on Brain Function Quotient of Elderly with Long-term Care Insurance Service
Journal of the Korea Academia-Industrial cooperation SocietyCurriculums:
This study was performed to identify the effects
of the improvement of brain function by CST on the elderly with the 2nd or 3rd
grade of long-term care insurance service. A quasi-experimental design using a
nonequivalent control group, pre-post test was used. A total of 12 elders (6 in
the experimental group and 6 in the control group) were recruited. Upledger
CST(10-Step Protocol) was performed on each subject for 50 minutes per session,
once a week, for a total of 8 treatments over an 8 week period from Jan to Feb
2015. The brain function quotient was measured before the 1st CST and after the
last CST by portable EEG measurement device using a 2 Channel neuro-feedback
system. The data was analyzed by SPSS (Ver. 18.0) program. After CST
intervention, the attention quotient (AQ), level of tension, anti-stress
quotient (ASQ), emotion quotient (EQ) and brain quotient (BQ) of the
experimental group was significantly better than that of the control group.
These results showed that the CST was effective in reducing the level of
fatigue by the AQ, increasing the physical and psychological stress relief by
the ASQ, emotional balance by the EQ, and improving the total brain function by
the BQ. Therefore, CST can be used as an effective intervention for improving
the health and brain function of the elderly in health facilities.
Cerebrospinal Fluid Signals Control the Behavior of Stem Cells in the Brain
University of BaselCurriculums:
The choroid plexus, a largely ignored structure in the brain that produces the cerebrospinal fluid, is an important regulator of adult neural stem cells, research indicates. The study also shows that signals secreted by the choroid plexus dynamically change during aging which affects aged stem cell behavior.
Amazing new brain imaging technique shows synaptic density
KEVIN LORIACurriculums:
This breakthrough could help scientists see exactly how depression, Alzheimer's, and autism transform our brains
Researchers just doubled what we know about the map of the human brain
Amy Ellis NuttCurriculums:
In a study online in Nature, a team of researchers more than doubled the number of distinct areas known in the human cortex, from 83 to 180. This new map of the brain combines data from four different imaging technologies to essentially bring high-definition to brain scanning for the first time. The immediate implications, say those familiar with the results, include the possibility of identifying biological markers for a host of neurological diseases and mental illnesses, and the new knowledge may aid neurosurgeons who need to know exactly what sort of tissue they are operating on.
Scoliosis Traced to Problems in Spinal Fluid Flow
Dr. Francis CollinsCurriculums:
This article talks about experiments show, for the first time, that mutation of a gene associated with spinal curvature in both zebrafish and humans has its effect by altering the function of the tiny hair-like projections, known as cilia, that line the spinal cord. Without the cilia’s normal, beating movements, the fluid that bathes the brain and spinal cord doesn’t flow properly, and zebrafish develop abnormal spinal curves that look much like those seen in kids with scoliosis. However, when the researchers used genetic engineering to correct such mutations and thereby restore normal cilia function and flow of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF), the zebrafish did not develop spinal curvature.
