Estrogen receptors are proteins found inside breast cancer cells that are activated by the hormone estrogen. Estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer is the most common type of breast cancer and accounts for about 70% of breast cancer tumors. Endocrine therapy, which inhibits estrogen receptor signaling, and Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (Cdk4/6) inhibitors are the preferred first-line therapy for patients with estrogen receptor-positive cancers. We built a mathematical model of MCF7 cells (an estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cell line) in response to these standard first-line therapies. This mathematical model can capture the experimentally observed protein and cell proliferation changes in response to various treatment conditions, including different drug combinations, different doses, and different treatment durations up to 28 days. The model can then be used to look for more effective treatment possibilities. In particular, our mathematical model predicted a strong synergism between Cdk4/6 inhibitors and endocrine therapy, which could allow significant reductions in drug dosage while producing the same effect. This synergism was verified by experiments. In addition to treatment methods where one drug or combination of several drugs is used continuously, we consider alternating among various therapies in a fixed cycle. The mathematical model can help us determine which drugs and which doses might be most appropriate. Since an alternating therapy doesn't inhibit one particular target non-stop, the hope is that alternating therapies can delay the onset of drug resistance, where the drug becomes less effective or stops working completely. Unfortunately, an initial 10- week experiment to test for differences in resistance to a mono-therapy versus an alternating therapy did not show a significant difference, pointing to the need for longer experiments to see if alternating therapies can actually make a difference in resistance. Mathematical models will be important for determining the drugs, doses, and time intervals to be used in these experiments, as figuring out the best options by trial and error in such long-term experiments is not practical.

Full textIn Brazil the complications of these illnesses are responsible for 72% of the deaths. Overweight combined with not only the high costs of health service provided by the government, but also with the high risk of secondary diseases, can cause localized lipodystrophy which has few alternatives for treatment, being surgical treatment the most common. Few studies show the usage of adjunctive therapy in order to reduce localized lipodystrophy and still they have greater restriction in specific research aiming at the treatment of localized abdominal lipodystrophy. The objective of this study was to verify the results of a non-invasive therapy in a specific area more predisposed to fat accumulation – the abdomen. A longitudinal study was performed, using a quantitative-descriptive research composed of 33 women with abdominal fat accumulation, with an age range of 20 to 35 years old. All of them signed an informed consent term (TCLE) and the sample was divided in two groups: A, which held ten physiotherapy sessions according to the physiotherapy protocol and B, which held five physiotherapy sessions, followed by a pause, and then held other five sessions according to the protocol. All the volunteers answered a questionnaire and went through their first body evaluation, which was repeated after the fifth and tenth session according to the physiotherapy protocol. They also underwent a Dual-Energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) test, repeated in the beginning and in the end of the sessions, which consisted of an application of a protocol, in the abdomen, developed based on the association of two physiotherapy techniques: 3-MHz ultrasound and medium-frequency alternating current. Initially, the general sample data was analyzed, followed by the comparative analysis between groups A and B. A Shapiro- Wilk test was performed to check the normality of the distribution and ANOVA Friedman was used to compare the data. The results for the variables analyzed in general sample were: mass, waist measurement, umbilical scar measurement, narrowest abdominal circumference measurement, widest abdominal circumference measurement and midsection fat percentage p<0,001, evaluated by DXA, showing a considerable difference if compared from the initial evaluation to the final. The percentage of total body fat evaluated by DXA was p=0,779 demonstrating reduction with a variation of 0,1% to 2,7% among all the volunteers. Comparing groups A and B, homogeneity could be observed and there was no statistic difference between them. Therefore, this protocol was developed specifically for the treatment of abdominal lipodystrophy in women and during the present study it demonstrated to be efficient for the treatment of reduction for this type of adiposity in young women.

Full textNeste trabalho é descrita a síntese de porfirinas regulares e N-confusas com o objetivo da realização de estudos acerca da sua eficiência como fotossensibilizadores (PSs) em terapia fotodinâmica (PDT) e a influência desta no splicing alternativo do mRNA. Os derivados porfirinicos foram preparados tendo como estrutura base a 5,10,15,20-tetraquis(1-metilpiridinio-4-il)porfirina. Inicialmente irá ser realizada uma breve introdução sobre os macrociclos tetrapirrólicos, nomeadamente sobre porfirinas. Segue-se o capítulo 2 onde há a descrição sintética dos derivados porfirínicos usados neste trabalho. Desta forma, através das condições estabelecidas por Lindsey foram sintetizadas duas porfirinas: 5,10,15,20-tetraquis(4-bromometilfenil)-2-aza-21-carboporfirina e a 5,10,15,20-tetraquis(4-bromometilfenil)porfirina e procedendo-se à sua cationização com piridina que originou os derivados 5,10,15,20-tetraquis(4-(piridinio-1-il-metil)fenil)-2-aza-21-carboporfirina e 5,10,15,20-tetraquis(4-(piridinio-1-il-metil)fenil)porfirina. A formação das porfirinas neutras ocorreu com baixo rendimento, mas a sua cationização foi conseguida com rendimentos acima dos 80%. Neste mesmo capítulo ainda são apresentadas as caracterizações fotofísicas de todos os derivados porfirínicos, nomeadamente fluorescência e geração de oxigénio singleto. As porfirinas regulares foram aquelas que demonstraram bons rendimentos quânticos de fluorescência e capacidade para gerar oxigénio singleto em DMF. No capítulo 3 são descritos todos os estudos biológicos realizados neste trabalho. Inicialmente foram realizados estudos de viabilidade celular em células MCF-7 e HeLa usando o teste com WST-1 e ATPliteTM e como PS de referência a 5,10,15,20-tetraquis(1-metilpiridinio-4-il)porfirina. Foram realizados estudos de concentração (0.1 μM-5.0 μM) e tempo de irradiação (0, 5, 10 e 15 min). A 5,10,15,20-tetraquis(4-(piridinio-1-il-metil)fenil)porfirina revelou ser o melhor PS, tendo sido selecionado um tempo de irradiação de 15 min e uma concentração até 5 μM para o estudos subsequentes. Os estudos de localização subcelular e uptake revelaram que a 5,10,15,20-tetraquis(4-(piridinio-1-il-metil)fenil)porfirina entra nas células mas não se localiza no núcleo como acontece com o controlo positivo. São ainda descritos estudos acerca do tipo de morte celular que as células podem sofrer depois da PDT com estes PSs. Por fim os estudos da influência da terapia fotodinâmica no splicing alternativo mostrou que a 5,10,15,20-tetraquis(4-(piridinio-1-il-metil)fenil)porfirina e a 5,10,15,20-tetraquis(1-metilpiridinio-4-il)porfirina parecem induzir um ligeiro splicing alternativo do mRNA.
In this work the synthesis of regular and N- confused porphyrins with the objective of assessing its efficiency as photosensitizers (PSs) in photodynamic therapy (PDT) and its influence in alternative splicing of mRNA is described. The porphyrin derivatives were prepared having as a template the 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(1-methylpyridynium-4-yl)porphyrin. Initially, a brief introduction about tetrapyrrolic macrocycles, namely about porphyrins will be done. Then, chapter 2 will follow with the synthetic description of the porphyrin derivatives used in this work. Through Lindsey conditions, two porphyrins were synthesized: 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-bromomethylphenyl)-2-aza-21-carbaporphyrin; 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-bromomethylphenyl)porphyrin and then we proceeded to their cationization with pyridine to give: 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-(pyridynium-1-yl-methyl)phenyl)-2-aza-21-carbaporphyrin and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-(pyridynium-1-yl-methyl)phenyl)porphyrin. The formation of the neutral porphyrins occurred with low yield but its cationization was achieved with yields higher than 80%. In the same chapter, the photophysical characterization of all porphyrins, namely singlet oxygen production and fluorescence quantum yield were described. The regular porphyrins demonstrated good fluorescence quantum yields and ability to generate singlet oxygen in DMF. In chapter 3, all the biological assays done in this work are described. Initially, cellular viability studies were done in MCF-7 and HeLa cells using the WST-1 reagent and ATPliteTM and as PSs reference the 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(1-methylpyridynium-4-yl)porphyrin. Studies of concentration (0.1 μM-5.0 μM) and irradiation time (0, 5, 10 and 15 min) were also done. The 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-(pyridynium-1-yl-methyl)phenyl)porphyrin showed to be the best PS and 15 min irradiation and a concentration up to 5 μM for the following studies were selected. The subcellular localization and uptake studies revealed that 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-(pyridynium-1-yl-methyl)phenyl)porphyrin can enter the cells but it is not localized in the nucleus, contrary to 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(1-methylpyridynium-4-yl)porphyrin. The studies regarding type of cell death that cells undergo after PDT treatment were also assessed. At last, the 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-(pyridynium-1-yl-methyl)phenyl)porphyrin and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(1-methylpyridynium-4-yl)porphyrin seemed to induce a small alternative splicing of mRNA.

Full textMassage therapy is often used to treat musculoskeletal symptoms and to promote wellness. While evidence regarding its effectiveness is increasing, research related to actual practice and studies seeking to understand the mechanisms of massage therapy are needed. The purpose of this research was to describe the characteristics of massage therapists and their clients and to understand the role of communication in massage therapy outcomes. The first study examined the outcome expectations, expectancies, and behaviors of a random sample of massage therapists in Iowa (n=151) using a cross-sectional survey. The second study used a practice-based research design incorporating two samples of massage therapy clients (n=320 and n=321) to develop and validate a measure of client expectations of massage, the Client Expectations of Massage Scale (CEMS). The third study examined the influence of client expectations and massage therapists' interpersonal attractiveness on pain and satisfaction following massage. Social Cognitive Theory and Expectancy Violation Theory were used as frameworks to demonstrate how health behavior and communication theories can provide insight to massage therapy research. Results indicated that massage therapists had high expectations regarding the benefits of massage therapy and engaged in a variety of behaviors that reflect the clinical, educational, and interpersonal nature of massage therapy. In addition to using a variety of manual therapies, the massage therapists educated their clients in areas such as diet, stress management, and exercise to improve client health. Similarly, clients had positive expectations as measured by the outcome, clinical, educational, and interpersonal subscales of the CEMS. Positive outcome expectations predicted significant improvements in pain and serenity. High interpersonal expectations were related to negative changes in serenity. The third study revealed that high satisfaction was influenced by positive interpersonal attractiveness but more research is needed to understand the influence of client expectations being met on satisfaction. Initially high educational expectations, exceeded educational expectations, violated interpersonal expectations, and positive interpersonal attractiveness were related to less pain following massage. In conclusion, this research demonstrated that client expectations and massage therapist interpersonal attractiveness are important constructs to consider when evaluating the effects of massage therapy.

Full textThe aim of this study was to describe complementary therapies for treating early climacteric complaints, around menopause. The study was conducted as a literature review with a descriptive design, where the author examined twenty scientific articles. The result shows five complementary therapies, acupuncture, yoga, physical activity, herbal medicines and phytoestrogens. Both acupuncture and yoga significantly reduced hot flushes and night sweats, they also improved subjective sleep quality and quality of life. Increased physical activity made women report fewer physical and psychological symptoms attributed to menopause and improved general well-being, but it had no effect on vasomotor symptoms. When herbal medicines and phytoestrogens have been compared with placebo, they all showed a similar small relief of hot flushes and night sweats and improvement in quality of life. None of the complementary therapies showed effect on vaginal tracts and did not improve urogenital symptoms. The conclusion from this literature review is that some complementary therapies show improvement in the early menopausal symptoms and quality of life, but some treatments are not more powerful than placebo. Further research, with larger randomized controlled studies are necessary, both to see the effect of the currently accessible alternative treatments, but also to examine how women perceive the impact.

Full textSyftet med denna studie var att kartlägga alternativa behandlingsmetoder för behandling av tidiga klimakteriebesvär, kring menopaus. Studien genomfördes som en litteraturstudie med beskrivande design, där tjugo vetenskapliga artiklar granskades. Resultatet visar fem alternativa behandlingsmetoder: akupunktur, yoga, fysisk aktivitet, naturläkemedel och fytoöstrogener. Både akupunktur och yoga gav en signifikant förbättring vad det gäller värmevallningar, nattliga svettningar, sömnkvalitet och livskvalitet. Med ökad fysisk aktivitet upplevde kvinnorna färre fysiska och psykiska besvär kopplade till klimakteriet och förbättring av allmänna välbefinnandet, ingen skillnad sågs vad det gäller vasomotorbesvär. När naturläkemedel och fytoöstrogener jämförts med placebo, ses möjligen en minskning av värmevallningar och nattliga svettningar, samt ökning av livskvaliteten med dessa olika preparat men samma förbättring ses i dessa studier även med placebopreparat. Ingen av de alternativa behandlingsmetoderna hade effekt på vaginalslemhinnan och förbättrade därmed inte de urogenitala besvären. Slutsats av denna litteraturgenomgång av alternativa behandlingsmetoder är att vissa behandlingsmetoder innebär en förbättring vad det gäller tidiga klimakteriebesvär och livskvalitet, men att flera behandlingsmetoder inte är mer effektfulla än placebo. Ytterligare forskning, med fler stora randomiserade kontrollerade studier är nödvändig för att se effekten av och utvärdera de för närvarande tillängliga alternativa behandlingsmetoderna. Ännu ett forskningsområde är att studera kvinnornas upplevelser av alternativa behandlingsmetoder.

Infections caused by Candida species are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. This growing trend has been linked to resistance to antimicrobial therapy and the ability of the organism to form biofilms. Melaleuca alternifolia oil is traditionally used as an herbal antimicrobial that shows activity in biofilms formed by Candida species. The present study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity nanoparticles and the essential oil of M. alternifolia. Oil and characterization of nanoparticles M. alternifolia. Antimicrobial activity was determined by the microdilution technique was performed. The ability to form biofilms at different glucose concentrations and measured the levels of exopolysaccharides and proteins in the biofilms was verified. The qualitative analysis of biofilms was performed by staining of Calcofluor White. The cytotoxicity of nanoparticles and the oil was assessed. The chromatographic profile showed that M. alternifolia oil conforms with ISO 4730 with the main constituents, 41.9% of Terpinen-4-ol, 20.1% of γ-terpinene, 9.8% of α-terpinene and 6.0% of 1.8-Cineol. Nanoparticles M. alternifolia oil had a pH of 6.3, particle diameter of 158.2 ± 2 nm, polydispersity 0.213 ± 0.017 and zeta potential of -8.69 ± 0.80 mV. The oil and nanoparticles M. alternifolia showed antimicrobial activity against most microorganisms evaluated. Microorganisms that showed an increased capacity to form biofilms were C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. membranafaciens, C. parapsilosis and C. glabrata at a concentration of 1% glucose. Administration of oil or nanoparticles of M. alternifolia oil represented a significant reduction of biofilm formed by all Candida species used, as well as a reduction in protein levels and exopolysaccharide biofilms. Was possible to visualize the reduction of biofilm in the presence of nanoparticles of M. alternifolia with Calcofluor White staining. The oil and nanoparticles M. alternifolia showed cytotoxic character at all concentrations evaluated. With the increase in the concentration of fetal calf serum medium, an inhibition of the toxic effect of the nanoparticles occurs. There are probably involved in protein-corona effect on the cytotoxicity of nanoparticles
As infecções causadas por espécies de Candida são importante causa de morbi-mortalidade em pacientes imunodeprimidos. Esta tendência crescente tem sido associada a resistência a terapia antimicrobiana e a capacidade do microrganismo em formar biofilmes. O óleo de Melaleuca alternifolia é um fitoterápico tradicionalmente utilizado como antimicrobiano, que apresenta atividade em biofilmes formados por espécies de Candida. O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a atividade antimicrobiana e antibiofilme de nanopartículas e do óleo essencial de M. alternifolia. Foi realizada a caracterização do óleo e das nanopartículas de M. alternifólia A atividade antimicrobiana foi determinada através da técnica de microdiluição. Foi verificada a capacidade de formação de biofilmes em diferentes concentrações de glicose e mensurados os níveis de exopolissacarídeos e proteínas nos biofilmes formados. A análise qualitativa dos biofilmes foi realizada através da coloração de Calcoflúor Branco. Foi avaliada a citotoxicidade do óleo e das nanopartículas. O perfil cromatográfico demonstrou que óleo de M. alternifolia está de acordo com a ISO 4730 com os constituintes majoritários, 41,9% de Terpinen-4-ol, 20,1% de γ-Terpineno, 9,8% de α-Terpineno e 6,0% de 1,8-Cineol. As nanopartículas de óleo de M. alternifolia apresentaram pH de 6,3, diâmetro de partícula de 158,2 ± 2 nm, índice de polidispersão de 0,213 ± 0,017 e potencial zeta de -8,69 ± 0,80 mV. O óleo e as nanopartículas de M. alternifolia apresentaram atividade antimicrobiana frente a maioria dos microrganismos avalidados. Os microrganismos que apresentaram uma maior capacidade na formação de biofilmes foram C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. membranafaciens, C. parapsilosis e C. glabrata na concentração de 1% de glicose. A administração de óleo ou as nanopartículas de óleo de M. alternifolia representou uma redução significativa do biofilme formado por todas as espécies de Candida utilizadas, bem como uma redução nos níveis de proteínas e exopolissacarídeos dos biofilmes. Foi possível visualizar a redução do biofilme na presença das nanopartículas de M. alternifolia com a coloração Calcofluor Branco. O óleo e as nanopartículas de M. alternifolia apresentaram caráter citotóxicos em todas as concentrações avaliadas. Com o aumento na concentração de soro fetal bovino do meio, ocorre uma inibição do efeito tóxico das nanopartículas. Provavelmente há o envolvimento do efeito proteína-corona na citotoxicidade das nanopartículas

Full textStudents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have challenges with communication, social interactions, and behavior, which can limit their functioning in school settings. They need to have functional communication skills to access the curriculum and have their needs met across all social environments. Special education teachers often experience barriers to successful implementation of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) interventions appropriate for these students. The purpose of this case study was to understand how special education teachers experience AAC intervention processes, and illuminate the conditions for effective AAC implementation. A qualitative case study was conducted using interviews from 6 credentialed special education teachers who worked with ASD students for a minimum of 2 years in a school district in a western state. Coding and thematic analysis of data from interviews and work journals was conducted using Ely’s condition of change theory as a framework. Findings for teachers’ perspectives of conditions needed to successfully implement an AAC intervention reflected the need for more time, resources, knowledge and skills, and investment from stakeholders. Recommendations included provision of resources to special education teachers for autism specific materials, on-going autism specific training and assistance, additional time for preparation and related duties necessary for working with these students. Future research on overall strengthening of AAC interventions and overcoming challenges for change is needed. Results of this study might assist schools in empowering ASD students by facilitating their functional communication skills, involvement, learning and academic opportunities across social environments.

Full textPolycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET) and primary myelofibrosis (PMF) are a group of Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN). These diseases share a common mutation, JAK2 V617F, in varying proportions. The mutated JAK2 protein has a constitutive tyrosine kinase activity, implicated in the physiopathology of MPN. This mutation alone does not explain the phenotypic heterogeneity within MPN.High throughput sequencing techniques helped understanding the physiopathology. This work aimed to identify additional mutations in two patient cohorts related to the aggravation risk of the disease. The first one consisted of patients in chronic phase (JAK2 V617F ET and PV), the second consisted in patients with myelofibrosis treated with interferon. Like other studies, we have shown that the number of mutations and the presence of additional mutations are associated with disease progression or with response to treatment. Some identified mutations could influence splicing. The second part of this work aimed at studying the putative impact of the JAK2 V617F mutation, on alternative splicing (AS).We also analyzed global AS profiles in ET. JAK2 exon 14 skipping has been described in NMP patients with or without the JAK2 V617F mutation.This mutation was predicted to alter the binding site of the SRSF6 splice-regulating protein. We observed that exon 14 skipping was an uncommon event in patients, in part related to SR protein expression. In addition, our transcriptomic-wide analysis showed a great heterogeneity between the patients with respect to both gene expression and splicing. This prevented us from identifying any characteristic profile. These results underscore the importance of identifying additional mutations at diagnosis and during follow-up. We have also been able to uncover some alternative transcripts associated with the presence of these mutations.The functional role of these variants remains to be defined

Full textAlternative education students face many interacting challenges that put them at significant risk of dropping out of school (Carver & Lewis, 2010), as well as deleterious health and psychological outcomes, and intergenerational cycles of sociopolitical disadvantage (Laird, Kienzel, Debell & Chapman, 2007). Despite the persistent national epidemic of school dropout, few studies have investigated treatments for alternative education students, often characterized as “difficult to reach” given the chronic substance abuse, low motivation, and poor attendance typical of this population (Rumberger & Lim, 2008).
This study investigated the effectiveness of a novel music therapy intervention, Recorded Music Expressive Arts (RMEA), with alternative education students. The purpose of RMEA in this context was to engage students in a potentially motivating, culturally relevant treatment that satisfies identified provisions to ameliorate dropout (Kim & Taylor, 2008). RMEA employs narrative therapy concepts as a framework for treatment, and integrates songwriting, music production, and recording into psychotherapy. Through the song-creation process, participants were encouraged to “tell their story” to re-author problem-saturated personal narratives and discover more self-affirming ways of being (White & Epston, 1990).
Participants were 10 adolescent boys, age 14–18, attending an alternative education school in the San Francisco Bay Area. Ten 60-minute individual RMEA sessions were delivered twice weekly over 7–19 weeks. Pre/post data was analyzed using Vargha-Delaney’s A. Large effect sizes were found for a) coping (problem focused engagement, cognitive restructuring, problem solving, and emotional expression); b) substance misuse (decreased marijuana use) and co-occurring psychological disturbances (decreased school and behavior problems); c) increased contemplation and action readiness to respond to intervention; d) behavior (decreased internalizing, behavior, learning problems, and suspension rates); and e) attendance (increased attendance for RMEA sessions and days on which RMEA was delivered). Overall, the results indicate that RMEA is a viable and effective treatment for alternative education high school students. Analysis of participant interviews and song content further support results, as well as RMEAs proposed therapeutic mechanisms of action, including narrative therapy concepts. Findings highlight the need for replication studies with larger sample sizes, inclusion of adolescent girls, and other alternative education school settings.
Taylor, Leah Ferree. "Well-Being through Live Music| A Heuristic Exploration." Thesis, Saybrook University, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10929749.
Full textLive music is a popular activity that many adults attend regularly. Qualitative research on live music from a listener’s perspective and the meaning it brings to individuals’ lives is lacking. The purpose of this heuristic inquiry was to investigate the lived experience of attending live-music events from the perspective of adult concert-goers between the ages of 18 and 65 years. This phenomenon was explored through the primary research question, “What is the experience of attending live-music events?”
Eight co-researchers were selected to participate via a convenience sample recruitment strategy. Data was collected via open-ended interviews and analyzed through stages following the qualitative method of heuristic inquiry (Moustaskas, 1990).
Three main themes were found to be the core essence of the live music experience: (a) live music connects people deeply; (b) live music is a full body experience; and (c) live music can be transcendent. An increased energy or vitality was evident before, during, and after the live-music events. Co-researchers used these repeated experiences to release, renew, and recharge the positive emotions, and mental resources that they would in turn bring back to their everyday lives.
Findings from this research suggest that listening to live music is a mind-body-spirit practice that can be used by individuals to connect deeply to themselves, others, and something greater than what they know. As an inherently pleasurable activity, live music influenced people’s ability to be open-minded and appreciative for what they have in life. The experience positively impacted the participants physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, which may have implications on overall well-being.
This is the first qualitative study that demonstrated ways in which people can participate in live-music events as a method of self-care to enhance their sense of well-being through meaningful connections, mind-body awareness, and transcendent experiences. Future research studies should examine the effects of live music on overall health outcomes and components of well-being. Keywords: live music, well-being, transcendence, appreciation, mind-body-spirit practice
Sobie, Timothy J. "Body schema acuity training and Feldenkrais? movements compared to core stabilization biofeedback and motor control exercises| Comparative effects on chronic non-specific low back pain in an outpatient clinical setting| A randomized controlled comparative efficacy study." Thesis, Saybrook University, 2017. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10251703.
Full textBack problems continue to be a leading cause for disability in all of medicine and are the number one symptom disorder for consulting integrative medicine practitioners. Feldenkrais® practitioners aim to clarify new functional interrelationships towards an improved neuroplasticity-based change in the cognitive construct of one’s own background body schema. These phenomena have been found to clinically correlate to chronic pain through concurrent distortions in the reorganization of usual sensory-motor cortical representations in the brain – being further associated with altered body perception (Wand, et al. 2016). The Feldenkrais Method ® (FM) is a comprehensive approach being manifested through manual sensory contact (FI®) techniques and movement experiences (ATM®) and has been anecdotally purported to improve symptoms and functions in Chronic Non-specific Low Back Pain (CNSLBP). However, there is little scientific evidence to support superior treatment efficacy.
A Randomized Controlled Trial compared a novel Virtual Reality Bones™ / Feldenkrais® Movement (VRB3/FM) intervention against more conventional protocols for Core Stabilization Biofeedback / Motor Control Exercises (CSB/MCE). The (VRB 3)™ treatment component consisted of full-scale skeletal models, kinematic avatars, skeletal density imagery, temporal bone-vestibular system relationships, and haptic self-touch techniques being aimed to re-conceptualize participant’s prior notions and beliefs regarding body schema and low back pain (LBP). N=30 participating patients with CNSLBP were assigned to either the experimental group (VRB3/FM @ N=15) or the control group (CSB/MCE @ N=15). Known confounding biopsychosocial variables were controlled via stratified-random assignment on the FABQ. Treatment Outcome measures included VAS-PAIN, RMDQ, PSFS, and Timed Position Endurances Tests – including Flexion / Extension Ratios at baseline, 2-weeks, 4-weeks and 8-weeks. Statistical Analysis was conducted using Wilcoxon Rank Sum and paired, two-tailed t-test. Results showed that the VRB3/FM group demonstrated greater improvement in all treatment outcome measures as compared to the matched CSB/MCE control group.
This is the first RCT study to demonstrate that a Feldenkrais Method® based approach being combined with Virtual Reality Bones™ can be more efficacious for the treatment of CNSLBP than the current and accepted physical medicine standard of isolated Core Stabilization Biofeedback / Training and Motor Control Exercises. Future multi-site RCT studies with larger sample sizes are therefore recommended.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study reviews the literature regarding psychodynamic therapy with low-income women. Low-income women are at psychological risk for developing emotional distress as a result of their deprived living circumstances. They have, however, received little attention from psychological research and practice. This literature review explores what psychological interventions are available for low-income women. It is found that psychodynamic therapy is largely unavailable to low-income women for a variety of reasons, which range from classism, sexism and ignorance to the cogent feminist and cross cultural critiques. It is argued that psychodynamic therapy should be more available to low-income women as it provides a sophisticated understanding of how oppressive social ideologies are internalized in the unconscious, thus facilitating, through therapy, a process of deconstruction and political subversion. Suggestions are also offered as to how to make psychodynamic therapy more accessible to low-income women.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie bied 'n oorsig van die beskikbare literatuur aangaande psigodinamiese terapie vir laer inkomste vrouens. Die groep is tot 'n meerdere mate blootgestel aan die ontwikkeling van emosionele stress trauma weens hul ontneemde lewensomstandighede. Laer inkomste vrouens het tot hede min aandag geniet met betrekking tot psigologiese navorsing en praktyk. Hierdie literatuur oorsig fokus op gepaste psigologiese ingryping wat beskikbaar is vir die spesifieke groep. Die ontoeganklikheid van psigodinamiese terapie beskikbaar, vir laer inkomste vrouens, kan toegeskryf word aan 'n verskeidenheid faktore: die strek van klassisme, seksisme en onkunde tot oortuigende feministiese en kruis kulturele beoordeling en debat. Hierdie verhandeling stel voor dat psigodinamiese terapie meer beskikbar moet wees tot laer inkomste vrouens, want dit stel 'n gesofisikeerde begrip, ten doel van hoe onderdrukkende sosiale ideologie geinternaliseer word in die onderbewussyn en die teenwerking daarvan. Die geskrif beredeneer hoe terapie kan fasiliteer in die proses van de-konstruksie en politieke subversie. Dit word ook voorgestel hoe om psigodinamiese terapie toeganklik to maak vir laer inkomste vrouens.

Full textThe effects of sound and music have always been of great interest to me, both as a Luthier, as a Cellist and Strings teacher. Research in this area is very limited and mainly confined to methods of therapy, in particular Music Therapy. Music Therapists, however, do not employ the use of different sound frequencies in their therapy and the effects of frequencies in other forms of alternative therapy have not yet been scientifically researched or validated. The object of this study has been to research how external sounds and music affect people, and to examine the means by which this is used in therapeutic contexts, such as in Music Therapy and Tomatis training. This research was conducted using quantitative and qualitative methods, through surveys, interviews and personal communication with Music Therapists, Alternative Therapists, Stress Researchers and two Tomatis Consultants. The research suggests that sound and music can have a stimulating as well as a soothing influence on people, but that a thorough scientifically based investigation into how external sounds and music affect people is needed for professionals in this field of work. Continued research in this area would involve using chosen external sounds or excerpts of music that are not only short impulses but of a longer duration, access to relevant medical equipment to measure the effects of these sounds and an appropriately sized group of research subjects to correlate with the expected effects of a defined research variable. (2.7 Musikens påverkan på kropp och själ) It is hoped that this study will provide a foundation for further research into the effects of frequencies, sound and music, also with a view to finding means to improve negative, disturbing sound environments.

After introduction of multi-drug therapy (MDT/OMS) there were decline in prevalence coefficients and new cases detections, however, the records of drug resistance and relapse cases are threatening factors against lepra control, therefore, the importance of new alternative schemes and monitoring adverse effects, avoiding abandonment or irregularity to treatment. Objectives: Describe side-effects of multi-drug regimen containing minocycline, ofloxacin and clofazimine in multibacillary (MB) leprosy patients and analyse the clinicalbacteriologic indices. Materials and Methods: A prospective, descriptive and observational study, in multibacillary patients, including intolerance cases of standard MDT and relapse cases, carried out in Alfredo da Matta Foundation, Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil, during april 2010 and january 2012. The side-effects were recorded of every individual patient, filled during the course of alternative treatment. The patients received alternative therapy with daily self-administered doses of 100mg of minocycline, 400 mg of ofloxacin and 50mg of clofazimine and a month supervised dose of 300mg of clofazimine for 06 months, thereafter 18 months of daily self-administered doses of ofloxacin 400mg, clofazimine 50mg and month supervised dose of clofazimine 300mg. Results and Discussions: During research 26 patients were treated, however, of these, only 21 cases were included in this study. The mild and not persistent side-effects occurred in 33,3% of patients. From the 37 side-effects, 45,9% episodes was attributed to ofloxacin, such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, headache and insomnia; 21,6% due to clofazimine, 100% of patients with skin pigmentation; however, no side-effets due to minocycline. Mean duration for the development of adverse effects from the start of therapy was 15,2 days. The media interval of follow-up was 13,7 months and 23,8% of patients completed the 24 months trerapy. All the patients tolerated the drugs well and the adhesion was satisfactory, among 15 patients that completed the first treatment year, 14 took 12 doses at 12 months from alternative regimen. Conclusion: The alternative therapy had a similar feasibility and operational mode from MB/MDT, with safe, well tolerated and good adhesion with no serious events. The side-effects attributed to alternative regimen were comparable to previous studies, however this new three drugs combination indicates the importance of these research results. No drug was stopped unlike others standard MDT studies which had treatment interruption by side-effects. There was significant correlation (p<0,001) between clinical classification and histopatologic diagnosis. At the end of first year, there was clinical improvement and bacteriologic index reduction. Nevertheless, it s necessary a follow-up and new inclusions to guarantee the efficacy and safe for the alternative regimen.
Após introdução do esquema poliquimioterápico padrão (PQT/OMS), houve declínio nos coeficientes de prevalência e detecção de casos novos, entretanto, os registros de resistência medicamentosa e casos de recidiva representam ameaça para o controle da hanseníase, por isso a importância da proposição de novos esquemas alternativos e a necessidade de monitorar seus efeitos adversos, evitando-se casos de abandono ou irregularidade ao tratamento. Objetivos: Descrever os efeitos adversos do esquema terapêutico alternativo, contendo a associação clofazimina, ofloxacina e minociclina, em pacientes com hanseníase multibacilar e análise da evolução clínico-baciloscópica dos pacientes. Materiais e Métodos: Estudo prospectivo, descritivo e observacional, de casos multibacilares, incluindo casos de recidiva da doença ou intolerância à poliquimioterapia padrão, realizado na Fundação Alfredo da Matta, Manaus, Amazonas, Brasil, no período de abril de 2010 e janeiro de 2012. Os efeitos adversos foram registrados em formulários individuais para cada paciente, preenchidos ao longo do tratamento. Os indivíduos receberam o esquema alternativo, composto de doses diárias auto-administradas de 100mg de minociclina, 400mg de ofloxacina e 50mg de clofazimina e dose mensal supervisionada de 300mg de clofazimina por seis meses, seguida de 18 meses de doses diárias autoadministradas de ofloxacina 400mg, clofazimina 50 mg e dose supervisionada mensal de clofazimina 300mg. Resultados: Durante o período foram selecionados 26 pacientes, dos quais 21 foram incluídos no estudo. Efeitos adversos leves e transitórios foram observados em 33,3% dos pacientes. Do total de 37 efeitos secundários, 45,9% foram atribuídos à ofloxacina, como dor abdominal, náuseas, vômitos, cefaléia e insônia; 21,6% associados à clofazimina, com relatos e observação em 100% dos pacientes de hiperpigmentação cutânea; entretanto, nenhum efeito foi relacionado à minociclina, especificamente. O tempo médio de desenvolvimento das reações adversas a partir do início do esquema foi de 15,2 dias. A duração média do acompanhamento dos pacientes foi de 13,7 meses, sendo que 23,8% dos pacientes já concluíram o tratamento em 24 meses. A adesão e regularidade ao esquema foram satisfatórias, dos 15 pacientes que já completaram o primeiro ano de tratamento, 14 indivíduos realizaram 12 doses do esquema proposto em 12 meses. Discussão/Conclusão: O esquema alternativo demonstrou viabilidade e operacionalização semelhantes ao esquema PQT/MB, com segurança, boa tolerabilidade e adesão dos pacientes. A porcentagem de efeitos adversos às drogas foi compatível a de outros trabalhos, contudo, a inovação na combinação das três drogas acima, demonstra a importância dos resultados desta pesquisa. Não houve registros de casos graves que indicassem à suspensão ou interrupção do tratamento. Houve correlação significativa (p<0,001) entre a classificação clínica e o diagnóstico histopatológico. Ao fim do primeiro ano do esquema alternativo, os pacientes apresentaram melhora clínica e redução do índice baciloscópico médio. Todavia, há necessidade de acompanhamento dos indivíduos e aumento do número amostral para garantir a eficácia e segurança ao tratamento em longo prazo.
