A bioenergetic assessment (BEA) uses electro-acupuncture to indirectly measure the body's energetic system through the meridians and acupuncture points. It can detect areas of inflammation, degeneration, or stress in the body without measuring physiology, biochemistry, or pathology. BEA readings above 50 indicate inflammation, below 30 indicate degeneration, and a steady drop from a high reading points to a weakness. BEA can help isolate causative factors, determine supplement protocols, and track health progress over time to help create an effective healthcare plan.
This document provides recommendations from the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA) for the prevention, recognition, and treatment of exertional heat illnesses (EHIs) such as heat cramps, heat syncope, heat exhaustion, exertional heat injury, and exertional heat stroke. It defines each condition and recommends that certified athletic trainers and other healthcare professionals establish emergency action plans and protocols using these guidelines to maximize athlete safety. The primary goals are appropriate prevention through acclimatization, proper recognition, and effective treatment of EHIs to reduce associated morbidity and mortality.
This study evaluated the effectiveness of a six-week physiotherapy treatment program for patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome. The treatment was delivered at a National Health Service hospital in North-West Wales. Twenty-six patients (9 males, 16 females) referred to the physiotherapy department completed pain scales and tests of lower limb strength and flexibility at the beginning and end of treatment. The tests measured muscle strength, flexibility, pain levels, and function. The results showed improvements in all areas after 5-8 weeks of physiotherapy.
There have been a variety of announcements recently about wearable devices “new” capabilities around atrial fibrilation and arrythmia detection, hydration tracking, and more. These capabilities are being delivered by the same optical heart rate sensors using PPG that are found in many wearable devices today. These are not necessarily new capabilities and some have been proven capabilities for many years. In many ways we are just scratching the surface of what’s possible. This webinar will share details on all the things that have been scientifically validated possible with PPG, many of which you may not be aware of.

CULTURAL FAMILY THERAPY:
INTEGRATING SYSTEMIC FAMILY THERAPY WITH CULTURAL PSYCHIATRY
Co-Chairs: Vincenzo Di Nicola, M.Phil., M.D., Ph.D., Ellen Berman, M.D.
SUMMARY:
This interactive, case-based workshop is designed for clinicians who work with families presenting mental health challenges across cultures. Di Nicola will present Cultural Family Therapy (CFT), a synthesis of systemic family therapy and sociocultural psychiatry. In numerous publications and international workshops over the last 30 years, Di Nicola has elaborated a model of CFT, presented in his book, "A Stranger in the Family: Culture, Families, and Therapy" (1997).
CFT weaves together family stories that express their mental and relational predicaments and conceptual tools for conducting clinical work. CFT is an ongoing update of our notions of “family” and “therapy,” on one hand, and of “culture” and “psychiatry,” on the other. Three basic principles and processes for CFT are: 1) the deep parallels between the notions of “family” and “culture,” mean that “culture” supersedes the notion of family “system”; 2) each family is the bearer of the larger culture(s) in which it is embedded and creates a culture of its own, so the family is the vehicle for intergenerational cultural transmission, for maintaining culture (cultural coherence), and for generating its own small-scale cultural adaptations, yielding three yoked family functions: cultural transmission, cultural maintenance/coherence, and cultural adaptation; 3) at the heart of systemic family theory and sociocultural psychiatry is a relational psychology that inverses theorizing from self to society by redefining the notions of identity and belonging through relations. With its relational and sociocultural approach, CFT is uniquely responsive to working with families undergoing culture change within and across cultures. In a world with huge global flows of migrants and refugees instigated by conflict, disasters, or economic and social reasons, CFT offers clinical tools to understand and treat families experiencing severe stress due to rapid and massive culture change. These processes will be explained, illustrated in case examples, and distributed to the workshop participants in handouts.

The document summarizes a phase 2 clinical trial studying the safety and efficacy of the oral factor Xa inhibitor betrixaban compared to warfarin in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. The trial found that major or clinically relevant non-major bleeding was comparable between betrixaban doses of 60-80mg and warfarin. Stroke rates were also similar. Betrixaban was well-tolerated across doses with dose-dependent increases in anti-Xa activity. Larger studies are still needed to fully determine betrixaban's efficacy and safety profile.
While thermal tactile stimulation remains a popular treatment for dysphagia, its effectiveness compared to other methods is debated. Studies have found it helps swallowing for some patients and conditions like cerebral palsy and stroke. However, other research indicates it only provides temporary benefits and may be less effective than electrical stimulation or VitalStim therapy. Future research is still needed to determine how and for whom thermal tactile stimulation is most effective as a treatment method.

The benefits of therapeutic hypothermia are explained. Methods for inducing hypothermia in the emergency department are presented, including cold intravenous fluids and surface cooling techniques. The document recommends inducing therapeutic hypothermia for comatose cardiac arrest patients with initial rhythms of ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia.
The document discusses the benefits of chiropractic care. It states that chiropractors are the best choice for back pain according to a Consumer Reports survey. Chiropractic is shown to be safe and effective for treating many conditions including back pain, neck pain, headaches, and carpal tunnel syndrome. The chiropractors at Lehigh Valley Chiropractic aim to enhance patients' quality of life through individualized care.
The study tested the hypothesis that fever is suppressed by intravenous opioids but not by epidural analgesia. Researchers induced fever in volunteers using interleukin-2 and studied the effects of intravenous fentanyl, epidural ropivacaine alone or with fentanyl. They found that intravenous fentanyl significantly reduced fever, decreasing core temperature and the frequency of temperatures over 38°C, while epidural analgesia did not inhibit fever. This supports the idea that fever appears normal with epidural analgesia because opioids do not suppress it, unlike in control patients where opioids are used for pain relief.
complementary and alternative medicine includes practices such as massage, acupuncture, tai chi, and drinking green tea. Integrative medicine is an approach to medical care that combines conventional medicine with CAM practices that have shown through science to be safe and effective

Effects of acupuncture on point pericardium 6 on hydromorphone induced nausea...Amanda Maijer
This research paper evaluated the effects of acupuncture at point Pericardium 6 (PC6) on nausea and vomiting induced by hydromorphone administration in healthy dogs. 81 dogs were randomly assigned to receive acupuncture at PC6, alternative acupuncture at Lung 5, or no acupuncture. After hydromorphone injection, dogs that received acupuncture at PC6 had a significantly lower incidence of vomiting compared to the other groups. Acupuncture at PC6 reduced vomiting in dogs but did not affect other signs of nausea like hypersalivation or licking. The study suggests acupuncture at PC6 can decrease opioid-induced vomiting in dogs during the perioperative period.

Genetic theory – a suggested cupping therapy mechanism of actionTamer Shaban
The mechanism of Cupping therapy action is not clear. Cupping may increase local blood circulation, and has an immune-modulation effect. Researches reported some local and systemic effects of cupping therapy. Genetic expression is a physiological process that regulates body functions. Genetic modulation is a reported acupuncture effect. In this presentation, the authors try to suggest genetic modulation as one of the possible mechanisms of action in relation to theories of cupping therapy.

Renal Artery Denervation Patient Selection and ResultsPAIRS WEB
- Resistant hypertension is defined as blood pressure that remains above goal despite concurrent use of 3 antihypertensive agents of different classes, including a diuretic. More than 10% of treated hypertensive patients have resistant hypertension.
- Renal denervation is a potential treatment for resistant hypertension, as the sympathetic nervous system drives hypertension. However, early renal denervation studies have been criticized for relying on uncontrolled office blood pressure measurements rather than ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
- Accurately defining and diagnosing resistant hypertension remains an issue, as office and ambulatory blood pressure measurements can differ substantially. Further research is still needed to establish the effectiveness and appropriate patient selection for renal denervation.

Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.
PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.

Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
