Abstract

This case report demonstrates the effects of a scapular stabilization exercise program for managing the clinical symptoms of scapular dyskinesis in an archer presenting joint noise during shoulder movement. A 31-year-old man with a 20-year career in archery who complained of scapular dyskinesis and joint noise during shoulder movement was referred for proper management. The player performed the scapular stabilization exercise program, with an emphasis on strengthening scapular stabilizers and neutralization of scapular position, for 40 min, three times per week for 8 weeks (a total of 24 sessions). Measurements included the extent of scapular deviation, strength of scapular stabilizers, emotional burden related to joint noise, and upper limb disability. These measurements were taken before and after the intervention and during 1-year follow-up. After the 8-week intervention, scapular position improved by a range of 3.75-12.88% and muscle strength improved by a range of 8.69-28.60%. Further, emotional burden and upper limb disability improved by 56.86% and 91.67%, respectively. A 1-year follow-up showed that these improvements had been favorably maintained. These findings indicate that shoulder stabilization exercise may be help...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.
