Normal subgroup

describe the immediate effect of spinal manipulation in reducing pain and improving lumbar movement on a patient who met four out of the five criteria on the CPR. This case study emphasized on patients diagnosed as non-specific LBP fitting into the subgroup identified as likely to respond positively to thrust manipulation. Techniques used in the study included the side lying HVLA rotational manipulation (Cleland, 2009) of the lumbar…

For college students in the United States, the act of taking care of one’s health sometimes falls to the bottom of one’s list of priorities as classes, assignments, and extracurricular activities pile up. As a likely result of the stressors in the life of a college student, healthcare for this demographic group has become an area of interest and concern. Among the many medical issues that college students face, eating disorders have dramatically increased their prevalence in some student…

studies related to people with mental disorders and gun violence. The article says, “The 12-month prevalence of any minor or serious violence among people with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depression was about 12% overall, and 7% in the subgroup with these disorders alone and no substance abuse comorbidity.” (Swanson et al). Finally, the article emphasizes that “mental illness is strongly associated with increased risk of suicide, which accounts for over half of US firearms–related…

The Argument for Ordinary Men and their “Obedience to Authority” While Christopher Browning’s text Ordinary Men may be brief in length, it is robust with narrative content, data, and emotion. Detailing the corrupted Reserve Police Battalion 101 of the German Order Police, Browning effectively launches an argument that the majority of these men were not innate mass murderers, but instead ordinary men. Browning successfully makes this argument by applying a great deal of focus to the men, as he…

Similar to viruses and bacteria, the cancer-causing Aurora kinases have grown resistant to normal cancer therapy (Dar). After a few years of research, scientists have found ways to target the Aurora kinases that cause cancer. Instead of normal cancer treatments, doctors have been using drugs that inhibit the Aurora kinases. When the kinases have been inhibited, they cannot function properly. This means that the Aurora-A…

cancer that affects blood cells. The cancer originates in the bone marrow where blood cells are formed (Hunger, 2015). For unknown reasons, these cells fail to develop properly into mature blood cells, and multiply at rapid rates crowding out other normal blood cells (Hunger, 2015). In the United States, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer among children and the most frequent cause of death from cancer before the age of 20 (Hunger, 2015). The incidence of ALL before the…

According to Jeffrey C. Alexander, Kenneth Thompson, and Laura Desfor Edles, a subculture consists of “the symbols and lifestyles of a subgroup in a society, one that deviates from the “normal,” more general culture in a society (7). Given that the fifth floor of Vilas offices faculty and staff, I determined that any posting that strayed from the topics of education and research would help identify subculture. Because…

High Waist Circumference Obesity is one of the major determinants for developing metabolic syndorme. Research has shown that obese adults are much more likely to have metabolic syndrome compared to adults of normal weight (Palaniappan et al., 2004; Wilson, Kannel, Silbershatz, & D'Agostino, 1999). Central obesity contributes to chronic diseases such as: insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidemia and hyperglycemia and has been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and type…

expectation that boys are stronger in mathematics than girls begin to form. There is no gender gap as the students enter kindergarten, but the gap advances rapidly to all students throughout elementary school. I do not believe that there is anything “normal” about this performance gap. This is a product of gender bias spreading through schools. I find it quite daunting that there currently remains a gender gap in mathematics considering the younger generation of teachers focuses immensely on…
