THE USE OF POSTURAL RESTORATION FOR TREATMENT OF CHRONIC ROTATOR CUFF PATHOLOGY: A CASE REPORT.

Background And Purpose: Postural Restoration Institute® (PRI) theories and rehabilitation techniques focus on restoring balance to anatomical systems. Common postural asymmetries can present in athletes as dysfunctions and limitations. The purpose of this case report was to examine the use of PRI exercises and theories to address pelvic alignment, along with core stabilization, during treatment of shoulder dysfunction in a collegiate volleyball player.

Cupping Therapy Does Not Influence Healthy Adult's Hamstring Range of Motion Compared to Control or Sham Conditions.

Cupping therapy, a form of traditional Chinese medicine, has recently gained popularity as a therapeutic modality among sports medicine clinicians. While the use of cupping therapy to decrease musculoskeletal pain is supported by recent research findings, evaluations on the use of cupping therapy to influence range of motion (ROM) are limited. The purpose of the study was to identify if cupping therapy applied passively for 10 minutes increases flexibility compared to sham treatment or control conditions.

Prospective large-scale field study generates predictive model identifying major contributors to colony losses.

Over the last decade, unusually high losses of colonies have been reported by beekeepers across the USA. Multiple factors such as Varroa destructor, bee viruses, Nosema ceranae, weather, beekeeping practices, nutrition, and pesticides have been shown to contribute to colony losses. Here we describe a large-scale controlled trial, in which different bee pathogens, bee population, and weather conditions across winter were monitored at three locations across the USA.

Duloxetine for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women: an integrated analysis of safety.

Objective: The objective was to characterize the safety of duloxetine for treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women, using an integrated database generated from four published placebo-controlled clinical trials.

Methods: The database included 1913 women randomized to duloxetine (N=958) or placebo (N=955), examining adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), vital signs, electrocardiograms, and laboratory analytes. AEs occurring initially or worsening during the double-blind treatment period were considered treatment-emergent (TEAE).
