Adhesion

Eduard Vikhnovskiy’s Part A Chapter 6 starts off with an explanation of two distinct terms, temperature and heat, when one might think it is the same thing, however, it is not! Liquid water absorbs heat, while temperature can be measured in degrees of Celsius or Fahrenheit. Heat is produced by the random vibration of atoms or molecules. Water molecules in hot water vibrate faster than in cold water. Heat is a measured by the number of vibrating atoms and how fast they are vibrating. Temperature…

success at improving their range of motion? SUBSCAPULARIS! “But that’s an internal rotator” is the common response I hear. Quite true but look at the origin and insertion, look at the mechanical plane of action…and think that if that muscle has adhesions, and it does as a byproduct of posture, work, and trauma, there is restricted motion, and that will limit the amount of possible abduction. You will frequently see a major shift in that limited action when you work on subscapularis and,…

Cellulose derivatives The cellulose derivatives widely used in mucoadhesive formulations are hydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxylpropylmethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose and carboxymethylcellulose etc. • Hydroxylpropylmethylcellulose (HPMC): Hydroxylpropylmethylcellulose is semi synthetic, inert, viscoelastic polymers, extensively used not only for mucoadhesion properties but also for its controlled release mechanism. It has been applied to deliver various drugs via different type of dosage…

1. INTRODUCTION The French paradox describes the lowered incidences of coronary heart diseases (CHD) in French people with respect to their diet which consists of high amounts of saturated fats. It is one of the many paradoxes with examples such as the Israeli paradox, which shows that although having a diet low in saturated fats, the Israeli Jews have increased incidences of CHD . This paradoxical event caused elevated interest in the causative factor that can seemingly lower the incidences of…

carry pain impulses. Joint Distention. A sterile water is injected into a joint to stretch the tissue so that movement is easier Shoulder Manipulation under anesthesia. You will receive general anesthesia and the doctor perform manipulation to break adhesion. Shoulder Arthroscopy. This procedure is rarely done. The doctor uses a lighted, tubular instrument inserted into a small incision around the joint to remove scar tissue and…

Introduction It seems to be the common rule that the younger we are when we try to learn something new, the better we are at acquiring the necessary skill. Our human performance is therefore a reflection of the neural circuitry that has been developed by early experiences. Yes, we are capable of learning new things when we are adults; however, it appears that those who have started younger, fare better. This is caused by the fact that we have certain critical or sensitive periods in our early…

and thus becoming oxidised-LDL (oxLDL) due to interaction with free radicals or Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). The accumulation of oxLDLs in the tunica intima then causes the endothelial cells to express adhesion molecules such as vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). The monocytes can then migrate from the blood circulation and into the tunica intima, becoming macrophages. The macrophages then takes in the oxLDLs and become foam…

Structure of Tight Junctions and their Dynamic Functions in Health and Disease Tight junction (TJ) discovery in the 1960s helped determine the nature of paracellular transport while the discovery of their constituting proteins subsequently improved understanding of TJs’ dynamic structure. Their role can be appreciated particularly in epithelial cells and when their formation is compromised; I aim to briefly explore the cause of Crohn’s disease to illustrate this. Furthermore, I will outline the…

and grow. Cancer cells lose the ability to communicate with other cells through chemical signals. They also lose sensitivity to anti-growth signals from surrounding cells. These signals normally restrict cellular growth. Cancer cells lose the adhesion molecules that keep them bonded to neighboring cells. Some cells have the ability to metastasize or spread to other areas of the body through the blood or lymph fluid. Once in the bloodstream, cancer cells release chemical messengers called…

These are known as trigger points and they are located in areas of scar adhesions. Treatments are applied to these trigger points to help break apart the adhesions. This is done by deep tissue massage or applying pressure directly on the sore spot. The chiropractor might even use a percussion device that taps on the area repeatedly. The treatment can be uncomfortable…
