Does integrating systematic graded exposure improve chronic pain management group outcomes?

In the realm of chronic pain management, systematic graded exposure in vivo (GEXP) has emerged as a promising intervention to alleviate pain-related fear and disability. While individual cases have demonstrated its efficacy, its effectiveness within broader clinical settings, particularly in group-based treatments, remains uncertain. In 2007 a study by Vida V. Bliokas and colleagues sought to ascertain whether the integration of GEXP into a multidisciplinary … Continue reading Does integrating systematic graded exposure improve chronic pain management group outcomes?

Unraveling the Enigma: Rare Brown-Sequard Syndrome Arising from Cervical Disc Herniation

Brown-Sequard Syndrome, as delineated in 1849 by Brown-Se´quard CE, emanates from trauma inflicted upon the anatomical hemicord. This trauma precipitates disruption of the descending lateral corticospinal tracts, the ascending dorsal columns (both of which decussate in the medulla), and the ascending lateral spinothalamic tracts, which intersect within one or two levels of the dorsal root entry. While total hemisection, evoking the hallmark clinical features of … Continue reading Unraveling the Enigma: Rare Brown-Sequard Syndrome Arising from Cervical Disc Herniation

ATP Electron Transport

ATP supply & Energy production: Our body has a continuous ATP electron transport supply from the cells’ cytosol (Anaerobic – Glycolysis) and the mitochondria (Aerobic – Citric acid cycle/Respiratory chain), through various metabolic pathways. In cytosol (an aqueous component of the cytoplasm of a cell), the anaerobic breakdown of phosphocreatine (PCr), glucose, glycerol, and carbon skeletons of deaminated amino acids take place to produce ATP for … Continue reading ATP Electron Transport

Does combining manual therapy and exercise enhance respiratory function? A randomized trial investigates

In 2007, a randomized control trial, researchers investigated the impact of integrating manual therapy with exercise on the respiratory function of healthy individuals. Led by Roger M Engel and Subramanyam Vemulpad, the study aimed to shed light on the potential synergistic effects of these interventions. The study involved 20 nonsmoking individuals, aged 18 to 28 years, who were randomly assigned to one of four groups: … Continue reading Does combining manual therapy and exercise enhance respiratory function?
