Knee pain appears to decrease up to one year after "prolotherapy," a series of sugar water injections at the site of the pain, according to a new study. Previous research on the therapy that suggested positive effects was plagued by flaws, but the new report may...
Killing of microorganisms by pulsed electric fields. Grahl T, Märkl H. Source Technische Universität Hamburg-Harburg, Germany. Abstract Lethal effects of pulsed electric fields (PEF) on suspensions of various bacteria, yeast, and spores in buffer solutions and liquid foodstuffs were examined. Living-cell counts of vegetative cell types were reduced by PEF treatment by up to more...

Future directions Maintenance of the airway epithelium through the action of multiple interdependent regenerative zones suggests that a more thorough understanding of progenitor cell types and their behaviour in normal and diseased states may yield important insights into disease pathophysiology. Examples of basic biological questions that...
Cell-based therapies with embryonic or adult stem cells, including induced pluripotent stem cells, have emerged as potential novel approaches for several devastating and otherwise incurable lung diseases, including emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, and the acute respiratory distress syndrome. Although initial studies suggested engraftment of...

This was a story of a PRP treatment for Spondylolesthesis or when the 4th or 5th lumbar vertibrea slips forward which is caused by instability of the ligaments and or a fracture in the bone called the pars. This allows for the spine to move...
Abstract BACKGROUND: Secondary rotator cuff dysfunction is a recognized complication following shoulder arthroplasty. We hypothesized that the rate of secondary rotator cuff dysfunction would increase with follow-up and result in less satisfactory clinical and radiographic outcomes. Our aim was to investigate the rate of secondary rotator cuff...
20 years ago I was in an automobile accident and had an injury to my lower back. I was having pain running down my leg. I went to an MD who prescribed an MRI and the MRI showed I had a herniation in L5/S1 level....
