Abstract

To evaluate a new 3-point bending type of cervical traction. Nonrandomized controlled trial of prospective, consecutive patients compared with control subjects. Follow-up patient data were obtained at 3 and 15(1/2) months, and 8 1/10 months for controls. Data were collected at a spine clinic in Nevada. Volunteer subjects consisted of 30 patients and 24 controls. Subjects had cervicogenic pain (neck pain, headaches, arm pain, and/or numbness). Subjects were included if their Ruth Jackson radiographic stress lines measured less than 25 degrees but were excluded if they had suspected disk herniation or canal stenosis. All subjects completed the first follow-up examinations, and 25 of 30 patients completed the long-term follow-up examination. Spinal manipulation for pain and a new form of 3-point bending cervical traction to improve lordosis. Cervical manipulation was provided for the first 3 to 4 weeks of treatment. Traction treatment consisted of 3 to 5 sessions per week for 9 +/- 1 weeks. Besides pain visual analog scale (VAS) ratings, pre- and posttreatment lateral cervical radiographs were analyzed. Control subjects reported no change in the pain VAS ratings and had no statistically significant change in segmental or global ra...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
