Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD): MLD is a gentle manual treatment which improves the function of the lymphatic system throughout the body. The techniques of MLD were first introduced in the 1930s by Dr. Emil Vodder, PhD, MT, of Denmark. MLD is widely recognized in the United States as an e...
The international comparison with the US shows comparable numbers with 2.4/100,000 children suffering an arterial or venous stroke each year3. However, considerable long-term sequelae such as hemiparesis can be particularly disabling2,4,5,6, leading to impaired upper limb function and limited ...
After death, the body was made available for scientific research purposes. Fresh human cadavers were briefly frozen after death. For the experiments, the bodies were thawed to room temperature. This method enabled the simulation of the joint elasticity and soft tissue situation of a living body. ...
Upper motor neurones make up half of the body’ssomatic nervous system– the other half being made oflower motor neurones. Damage to either leads to distinct clinical presentations, allowing the clinician to anatomically pinpoint the location of the damage. In this article, we will consider the...

Thus, as with any part of the body, neural communication is extensive. Bronchopulmonary sensors Information from the bronchopulmonary sensors is mainly carried in the vagus nerves. Six types have been well-described. Four are mechanosensors: inflation activated rapidly adapting receptors (RARs), ...
