Modulation

Kinesio taping stimulates cutaneous mechanoreceptors and improve knee proprioception. As such, sensory input increases feedback to the central nervous system hence reducing pain. Taping technique closely involves the gate control theory as pain modulation mechanism (35,37). Also, Kinesio tape reduces pain in PFPS patients by facilitating contraction of quadriceps muscle hence increasing the strength of the muscles which provides vibrant stability of patellar sustain normal patellar tracking…

Musical talent is often underappreciated, especially when to comes to local talent. The Queens College Orchestra has a broad range of talented students that very few people get to experience. Leonard Bernstein 100th Anniversary Festival displayed unique renditions of three classical pieces: Candide Overture, Halil, and Three Meditations from Mass. The concert took place at LeFrak Concert Hall in a small auditorium with an ecclesiastical background. The audience was small but very enthusiastic.…

tonal qualities, playing techniques and different ways of producing sound. The string section consists of the violin, the viola, the cello, the double bass and even the harp. These instruments provide the greatest range of expression, intensity and modulation making the string section the foundation of the orchestra. String instruments provide lyrical and warm tones to an orchestra and the harp adds additional colour and delicacy to the string section. Sound is created by placing the bow on the…

“The Prince’s Tale” by Alexandre Desplat is from the final installment of the Harry Potter movies, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, and actually is a mix between two songs, “Severus and Lily’s Theme” and “Dumbledore’s Farewell.” After Severus Snape is murdered by Lord Voldemort, Harry Potter rushes to his side and gathers Snape’s memories in a vial so that he may view them later (it was Snape’s dying wish that Potter take his memories and view them). When Potter is finally able to…

whom medical and surgical management have been exhausted. This chapter focuses on the technical aspects of percutaneous placement of SCN devices, emphasizing patient selection, technique, and complications. The precise mechanism of spinal cord modulation for neuropathic pain is partially understood. The original ‘control gate theory’ postulated that continual activation of afferent fibers within the dorsal columns of the spinal cord inhibited transmission of…

2, the melody B in C# Aeolian (fig. 19) is part of the melodies sung by the choir, melodies A-A’-B-A’ as seen in the scheme of song no 2 (fig. 20), and it occurs in the middle of the song mm. 88-99 and mm. 128-139. Therefore, there is a direct modulation in fourth relationship between melodies A and A’ in G# Aeolian and melody B in C# Aeolian. Contrary to the melodies A and A’, the orchestra and the melody B are in the same mode, C# Aeolian. Fig. 19: Melodies B in C# Aeolian sung by the…

1908. This might explain why these duets had a very pianistic and almost improvised feel to me. I could imagine Reger sitting in front of the piano and writing down what he plays. Reger was an expert in modulation, as his treatise “Beitrage zur Modulationslehre” (Supplement to the Theory of Modulation) illustrates. The sometimes surprising harmonies of the duets caused some difficulties for the singers in the initial learning stage, but once we were acquainted with them, the music felt rather…

Abstract— Optical Pulse Oximetry is feasibly the greatest advance in patient monitoring. Pulse Oximetry enables oxygenation, an important physiological variable that is poorly detected by clinical means, to be monitored continuously and easily. Hypoxemia is commonly found in all aspects of medical practice and is a major cause of organ abnormality and death. It should be widely available and used routinely in clinical practice both in primary care and in hospital. This paper will design a…

OBSERVATIONS IN THERAPY Aryana is a sweet and friendly little girl. She was initially very active, and it was difficult for her to focus her attention in therapy sessions. She tended to run around, and frequently jumped from one activity to the next. However, she has matured a lot, which allowed therapy to be more structured. Although she can still be impulsive at times, she displays greater control of her movements and behaviour. She is still emotional at times, especially when tasks are…

Kaposi Sarcoma Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is a tumor of endothelial cell origin commonly found in the Mediterranean, Jewish, Arabic and African populations. In patients on immunosuppression, human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) infection is reactivated in endothelial cells and conversion to spindle cells occurs.PMID: 16904612, PMID:17456614, PMID 15021843 The incidence of KS is markedly increased in patients with SOTRs (between 84 and 500 times more common) compared with the immune-competent…
