Next-generation Sequencing03:00

Next-generation Sequencing

88.0K
The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.
Next-Generation Sequencing Methods
Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features....

The Colonization of Land

31.9K
Changes in the environment of the early Earth drove the evolution of organisms. As prokaryotic organisms in the oceans began to photosynthesize, they produced oxygen. Eventually, oxygen saturated the oceans and entered the air, resulting in an increase in atmospheric oxygen concentration, known as the oxygen revolution approximately 2.3 billion years ago. Therefore, organisms that could use oxygen for cellular respiration had an advantage. More than 1.5 years ago, eukaryotic cells and...

Emerging Adulthood01:27

Emerging Adulthood

1.2K
Jeffrey Arnett's concept of emerging adulthood offers a framework to understand the unique developmental stage between adolescence and full-fledged adulthood, generally from ages 18 to 25. This period is marked by extensive exploration and shifts in identity, relationships, and career choices, a process known in psychology as role experimentation. Emerging adulthood reflects the evolving cultural expectations surrounding adulthood and the dynamic process of personal transformation during...

Areas Within Irregular Boundaries

499
Calculating areas within irregular boundaries, such as along rivers or curved roads, is crucial in various fields, including surveying, engineering, and environmental management. Surveyors often begin by creating a traverse, a connected series of straight lines approximating the area's boundary. The coordinates of each traverse point are essential for calculating the enclosed area. The double meridian distance formula is a widely used technique for this purpose. This method utilizes the...

Transition Zone01:28

Transition Zone

545
The transition zone in concrete is a critical area where aggregate meets cement paste, marked by a distinct porosity and weakness compared to the surrounding material. The adhesion around the aggregates is primarily due to Van Der Waals forces. The voids within this zone influence its robustness; initially, it is less durable than the surrounding bulk mortar due to larger voids. Initially, when concrete is compacted, a higher water-cement ratio near the aggregates leads to the formation of...

Region of Convergence

1.1K
The z-transform is a powerful mathematical tool used in the analysis of discrete-time signals and systems. It is a crucial tool in the analysis of discrete-time systems, but its convergence is limited to specific values of the complex variable z. This range of values, known as the Region of Convergence (ROC), is fundamental in determining the behavior and stability of a system or signal. The ROC defines the region in the complex plane where the z-transform converges, which can take various...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

This issue explores therapeutic massage and bodywork (TMB) research, including qigong massage for children with autism and its effects on tactile abnormalities. It also examines postural balance changes from massage targeting the mandibular trigeminal nerve and discusses competency-based education in TMB.

Area of Science:

  • Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (TMB)
  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
  • Neuromuscular Therapy

Background:

  • The International Journal of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (IJTMB) presents diverse research and educational topics.
  • Traditional TMB literature often lacks deductive hypothesis testing.
  • This issue addresses this gap with novel research and educational discussions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of qigong massage on tactile abnormalities in children with autism.
  • To assess changes in postural balance following massage of muscles linked to the mandibular trigeminal nerve.
  • To initiate a dialogue on competency-based education versus hours-based programming in TMB.

Main Methods:

  • A research study involving qigong massage intervention for children with autism.
  • A study measuring postural balance changes after targeted massage of specific head and neck muscles.
  • An editorial discussing the merits and challenges of competency-based TMB education.

Main Results:

  • Qigong massage demonstrated measurable changes in tactile abnormalities in young children with autism.
  • Massage of muscles associated with the mandibular trigeminal nerve led to observable alterations in postural balance.
  • The editorial highlights the importance and complexities of transitioning to competency-based TMB education.

Conclusions:

  • Therapeutic massage and bodywork interventions show potential in addressing specific needs in populations like children with autism.
  • Targeted massage techniques can influence physiological measures such as postural balance.
  • Competency-based education is a critical topic for the future development and standardization of TMB practice.
