Discuss the therapeutic effects of Ultrasound in the treatment of a tennis elbow soft tissue injury

Introduction The ultrasound is used as a treatment for soft tissue injuries using sound waves that are beyond the range of normal hearing. An ultrasound consists of inaudible high frequency mechanical vibrations (Gibbs, Cole and Sassano, 2009) which are created upon the conversion of electrical energy into acoustic energy through mechanical deformation of the piezoelectric crystal which lies within the transducer (Rheumatology, 2011). Therapeutic ultrasound uses a frequency between 0.75 and 3 MHz (Knight, Knight and Draper, 2013) for heating deeper and superficial tissues. Low frequency ultrasound at 1 Mhz is absorbed by tissues up to 3 to 5 cm ...

- Summary After a heart attack, the restoration of the cardiac function depends on the ability of the heart to generate cardiomyocytes, or new muscle cells. The ability is, however, weak and wanes with age. The alternative strategy involves delivering the newly grown cardiomyocytes to the damaged heart tissue. It requires the use of either induced pluripotent stem (iPS) or the embryonic stem (ES) cells. Embryos are the only sources of ES cells. On the other hand, the in vitro reprogramming of adult differentiated cells transforms them into undifferentiated stem cells. The method allows the production of iPS cells ...

Hermes and Cernunnos are some of the most popular Greek and Celtic deities revered in their respective religious practices.

Question One: definition of political graffiti

Graffiti remains one of the topics, which attracts attention of political sociologists and other researchers in various discipline. In essence, graffiti has existed for many years, but researchers and political sociologists have paid less attention in terms of examining the roles and functions of graffiti as a form of political participation and political contentious ,despite it conveying and eliciting political messages. The fact that researchers and political sociologies have paid less attention on the topic of graffiti makes it illegitimate and unlawful in repressive regimes. In other words, the government persecutes, charges, and convicts individuals who employ graffiti as a form ...

Hereditary Hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal overriding vascular disorder. CACs are released from bone marrow into the circulation, and home to the injury site to exert their regenerative and angiogenic effects. Both clinical data and animal studies have reputable that alterations in ALK1 and ENG are dependable for the configuration of the atypical vasculature detected in the mass of patients with HHT. Idiosyncrasy of endothelial cells because of ENG or ALK1 mutations is linked, and well-matched with the vascular ...

The Central Nervous System is the control system of the human body; it is the core of the human nervous system. The Central Nervous system is made up of the spinal cord and the brain. The brain uses the electrical signal, which is generated by the Central Nervous System. These electrical signals travel via the Peripheral Nervous System effector cells. These effector cells carry out physiological responses whenever the brain demands it. Axonal regeneration occurs successfully in the Peripheral Nervous System. However, regenerative axonal growth starts occurring in the Central Nervous System too, but stops two weeks after the ...

translatable. This author particularly examined the readership in arts. How do we study and interpret visual art? Readership of Visual Art is the primary goal of the art research. Through the art practice, he realized that he has always used two distinctive elements in one set; non-duality. “Form is emptiness and the very emptiness is form” (p. 18). “Emptiness does not differ from form, form does not differ from emptiness; whatever is form, that is emptiness, whatever is emptiness, that is form, the same is true of feelings, perceptions, impulses and consciousness (p. 18).” It would be much ...

Tissue engineering, when applied to focus on bone biology, is referred to as bone tissue engineering (BTE), and it involves understanding the structure, mechanics, and the formation of bone tissues. The main aim of BTE is to induce the formation of new and functional bone tissues (Gothard et al.). In this case, to successfully repair, regenerate or replace bone and joint tissues, knowledge on bone biology and bone development is crucial (Amini, Laurencin and Nukavarapu). BTE has however proven to be a challenging emergent field for researchers and clinicians due to autograft and allograft failures in numerous pathological conditions. ...

The regeneration of nerves throughout the human body has been a subject of much interest in biology recently. The unique characteristics of both the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) provide insights into the mechanisms occurring after once damage occurs. A good understanding of tThe differences between these mechanisms also may lead to new therapies for nerve-damaged patients, including stroke patients. Following injury, the nerves in the CNS of an adult mammal will not regenerate, while the PNS will. These differences appear in every stage of axon regeneration. Within hours of axotomy, the PNS begins ...

Stem cells are undifferentiated biological cells that can differentiate into specialized cells and further divide through the process of mitosis to produce more cells. Stem cells are found in multicellular organisms; however, in mammals there are two broad categories adult stem cells that are found in diverse tissues, and embryonic stem cells that are isolated from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst. Stem cells and progenitor cells act as a system that repairs the body in case it is injured as well as replenishing tissues (Humber 105). However, in the developing embryo stems cells differentiate into specialized cells that ...

Abstract:

Medicine and science had always maintained a steady flow of debates by the beginning of the 20th century with the ongoing increase of diseases, and virus mutations keeping up with the modern technology. Medicines had to be updated regularly to ensure that mutations would not influence a person’s sickness and overall health. It is common to see various medical procedures claiming that they can cure a disease or complication without the need to pay medicines regularly. One of these offerings is known as stem cell treatment, which uses stem cells to repair damage tissues or cure diseases. While the preliminary studies ...

Muscular dystrophy is an inherited disease where the different genes that control muscular function are defective (Emery, 2008). It has been found that many forms of dystrophy are caused by a deficiency in dystrophin, which is a muscle protein (Emery, 2008). This disease is not infectious and cannot be acquired from any activity. It is characterized by muscle weakness and wasting where the specific muscles affected vary for different types of dystrophy (Emery, 2008).

Among the various types of muscular dystrophy, the Duchenne muscular dystrophy is the most prevalent, with an occurrence of twenty to thirty cases for every one ...

Analysis of a Quotation from T. S. Eliot’s “The Waste Land”

April is the cruelest month, breeding

Memory and desire, stirring

Dull roots with spring rain. Winter kept us warm, covering Earth in forgetful snow, feeding A little life with dried tubers. (Eliot)

T. S. Eliot’s renowned poem “The Waste Land” denotes his dissatisfaction with the state of modern life in general, a work that mirrors the degraded confusion of the WWI ravaged Europe. It utilizes the integration of mythology into his poetic expression, with numerous references, which result in a narrative that is almost lacking in coherence. His introductory lines offer a glimpse into his dark pessimism that ...

Dense rainforests have been disappearing at an alarming rate as human beings penetrate deep into the forests, clearing them so as to make room for their own activities. About 8000 years ago, this planet was covered by approximately 14.8 billion acres of forest, but unfortunately, currently the Earth consists of only 8.6 billion acres of forest remaining due to the extensive human exploitation (Jean 33). The deforestation has led to serious impacts on the environment, and species have started becoming extinct. The extent of rainforest deforestation across the globe and the main causes of this disturbing trend will ...

Hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) exhibit genetic heterogeneity. Most of the HCC tumors are associated with activation of insulin/IGF-1/IRS-1/Ras/Raf/MAPK/Erk and a WNT/Frizzled receptors/β catenin signaling cascade which provides targets for therapy. All the pathways are mediated by genetic mutations and signaling compounds and the loss of regulatory proteins also contributes for tumor generation. Two signaling pathways are involved in the carcinogenesis which includes insulin/IGF 1/IRS 1/MAPK and Wnt/FZD/β catenin pathways. The insulin/IGF-1/IRS-1/MAPK cascade plays a crucial role in regulating regeneration of liver and embryonic development. The constitutive activation of these cascades which is due to IRS 1 over expression leads to HCC ...

Artemis and the Sanctity of Balance

The Feminine Divine: Artemis and the Sanctity of Balance

Artemis is a divine representation of nature’s primal force and its capacity for self-preservation.
