Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of massage therapy is that it’s noninvasive and fairly easily tolerated by the client. “Second,” says Jurch, “is that other forms of treatment may not address all of the necessary areas.” Meaning, again, that some of your clients may be feeling pain in one area whose source is actually in another. “A massage therapist can understand the relationship between each of the muscles that have an impact on a joint,” explains Donnelly. “Knowing which muscle needs to be released first in order for subsequent muscles to be effectively treated is immensely helpful.”
That a massage therapist is focused on muscles, tendons and insertion points is also helpful, according to Donnelly. “A massage therapist can use the referral patterns of the trigger points to follow the point of pain described by the client back to the originating muscle, locate the trigger point in that muscle and apply direct pressure to release the spasms,” she explains.
Typically, massage therapists use a type of compression—sometimes referred to as digital pressure—to help relieve trigger points. “The goal of treating trigger points is to remove the spasm and return the sarcomere to its original length,” Jurch explains. “Digital pressure works by applying pressure to a ‘knot’ for anywhere from 30 seconds to 90 seconds, until a change in the tissue is felt.”
However, both Donnelly and Jurch agree that while doing this work, clearly communicating with your clients is imperative, as they may experience some pain and you need to be able to adjust pressure when necessary. “Unlike a relaxing massage, trigger point therapy can be uncomfortable to receive, especially while applying the direct pressure on the trigger point,” Donnelly says. “I always explain to clients that it’s very important for them to tell me immediately if the pain is not tolerable to I can adjust my pressure.”
Jurch shoots for a seven out of 10 on a client’s pain scale, cautioning that massage therapists don’t want to be too aggressive with this work and cause irritation to the tissue. “Once the therapist feels the tissue change,” he says, “they should remove the pressure and perform some general massage strokes to the area.”
So, while you are used to checking in with clients during a massage therapy session, doing so more frequently may be necessary when doing trigger point work. “What may be just fine in one area might be intolerable in another,” Donnelly explains. “I ask my clients over and over ‘Is this pressure OK?’ Sometimes we laugh because I ask so often, but they definitely get the point that it’s vital for me to know how they are doing during the entire massage therapy session.”
Clients who are in chronic pain, no matter what the cause, are looking for one thing: relief. More and more, massage therapy is proving helpful. For your clients who look to you for help managing chronic pain, understanding—and being able to treat—trigger points can sometimes make all the difference.

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY DESIGN- RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALRishank Shahi
Randomized controlled clinical trial is a prospective experimental study.
It essentially involves comparing the outcomes in two groups of patients treated with a test treatment and a control treatment, both groups are followed over the same period of time. Prepare a plan of study or protocol
a. Define clear objectives
b. State the inclusion and exclusion criteria of case
c. Determine the sample size, place and period of study
d. Design of trial (single blind, double blind and triple blind method)
2. Define study population: Most often the patients are chosen from hospital or from the community. For example, for a study for comparison of home and sanatorium treatment, open cases of tuberculosis may be chosen.
3. Selection of participants by defined criteria as per plan:
Selection of participants should be done with precision and should be precisely stated in writing so that it can be replicated by others. For example, out of open cases of tuberculosis those who fulfill criteria for inclusion may be selected (age groups, severity of disease and treatment taken or not, etc.)
Randomization ensures that participants have an equal chance to be assigned to one of two or more groups:
One group gets the most widely accepted treatment (standard treatment/ gold standard)
The other gets the new treatment being tested, which researchers hope and have reason to believe will be better than the standard treatment
Subject variation: First, there may be bias on the part of the participants, who may subjectively feel better or report improvement if they knew they were receiving a new form of treatment.
Observer bias: The investigator measuring the outcome of a therapeutic trial may be influenced if he knows beforehand the particular procedure or therapy to which the patient has been subjected.
Evaluation bias: There may be bias in evaluation - that is, the investigator(Analyzer) may subconsciously give a favorable report of the outcome of the trial.
Co-intervention:
participants use other therapy or change behavior
Study staff, medical providers, family or friends treat participants differently.
Biased outcome ascertainment:
participants may report symptoms or outcomes differently or physicians
Investigators may elicit symptoms or outcomes differently
A technique used to prevent selection bias by concealing the allocation sequence from those assigning participants to intervention groups, until the moment of assignment.
Allocation concealment prevents researchers from influencing which participants are assigned to a given intervention group.
All clinical trials must be approved by Institutional Ethics Committee before initiation
It is mandatory to register clinical trials with Clinical Trials Registry of India
Informed consent from all study participants is mandatory.
A preclinical trial is a stage of research that begins before clinical trials, and during which important feasibility and drug safety data are collected.

Hepatocarcinoma today between guidelines and medical therapy. The role of sur...Gian Luca Grazi
Today more than ever, hepatocellular carcinoma therapy is experiencing profound and substantial changes.
The association atezolizumab (ATEZO) plus bevacizumab (BEVA) has demonstrated its effectiveness in the post-operative treatment of patients, improving the results that can be achieved with liver resections. This after the failure of the use of sorafenib in the already historic STORM study.
On the other hand, the prognostic classification of BCLC is now widely questioned. It is now well recognized that the indications for surgery for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma are certainly narrow in BCLC and no longer reflect what is common everyday clinical practice.
Today, the concept of multiparametric therapeutic hierarchy, which makes the management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma much more flexible and allows the best therapy for the individual patient to be identified based on their clinical characteristics, is gaining more and more importance.
The presentation traces these profound changes that are taking place in recent years and offers a modern vision of the management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
Ontotext’s Clinical Trials Eligibility Design Assistant helps with one of the most challenging tasks in study design: selecting the proper patient population.

A comparative study on uroculturome antimicrobial susceptibility in apparentl...Bhoj Raj Singh
The uroculturome indicates the profile of culturable microbes inhabiting the urinary tract, and it is often required to do a urine culture to find an effective antimicrobial to treat UTIs. This study targeted to understand the profile of culturable pathogens in the urine of apparently healthy (128) and humans with clinical UTIs (161). In urine samples from UTI cases, microbial counts were 1.2×104 ± 6.02×103 colony-forming units (cfu)/ mL, while in urine samples from apparently healthy humans, the average count was 3.33± 1.34×103 cfu/ mL. In eight samples (six from UTI cases and two from apparently healthy people) of urine, Candida (C. albicans 3, C. catenulata 1, C. krusei 1, C. tropicalis 1, C. parapsiplosis 1, C. gulliermondii 1) and Rhizopus species (1) were detected. Candida krusei was detected only in a single urine sample from a healthy person and C. albicans was detected both in urine of healthy and clinical UTI cases. Fungal strains were always detected with one or more types of bacteria. Gram-positive bacteria were more commonly (OR, 1.98; CI99, 1.01-3.87) detected in urine samples of apparently healthy humans, and Gram -ve bacteria (OR, 2.74; CI99, 1.44-5.23) in urines of UTI cases. From urine samples of 161 UTI cases, a total of 90 different types of microbes were detected and, 73 samples had only a single type of bacteria. In contrast, 49, 29, 3, 4, 1, and 2 samples had 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 types of bacteria, respectively. The most common bacteria detected in urine of UTI cases was Escherichia coli detected in 52 samples, in 20 cases as the single type of bacteria, other 34 types of bacteria were detected in pure form in 53 cases. From 128 urine samples of apparently healthy people, 88 types of microbes were detected either singly or in association with others, from 64 urine samples only a single type of bacteria was detected while 34, 13, 3, 11, 2 and 1 samples yielded 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and seven types of microbes, respectively. In the urine of apparently healthy humans too, E. coli was the most common bacteria, detected in pure culture from 10 samples followed by Staphylococcus haemolyticus (9), S. intermedius (5), and S. aureus (5), and similar types of bacteria also dominated in cases of mixed occurrence, E. coli was detected in 26, S. aureus in 22 and S. haemolyticus in 19 urine samples, respectively. Gram +ve bacteria isolated from urine samples' irrespective of health status were more often (p, <0.01) resistant than Gram -ve bacteria to ajowan oil, holy basil oil, cinnamaldehyde, and cinnamon oil, but more susceptible to sandalwood oil (p, <0.01). However, for antibiotics, Gram +ve were more often susceptible than Gram -ve bacteria to cephalosporins, doxycycline, and nitrofurantoin. The study concludes that to understand the role of good and bad bacteria in the urinary tract microbiome more targeted studies are needed to discern the isolates at the pathotype level.

Education of Patient
Informing a patient about a health matter to
secure informed consent.
Patient education should begin at the initial
contact with the patient and should continue throughout treatment.
The dentist and the patient share responsibility for the ultimate success of a removable partial denture.
This educational procedure is especially important when the treatment plan and prognosis are discussed with the patient.
Diagnosis, Treatment Planning, Design, Treatment, Sequencing, and Mouth Preparation
Begin with thorough medical and dental histories.
The complete oral examination must include both clinical and radiographic interpretation of:
caries
the condition of existing restorations
periodontal conditions
responses of teeth (especially abutment teeth) and residual ridges to previous stress
The vitality of remaining teeth
Continued…..
Occlusal plan evaluation
Arch form
Evaluation of Occlusal relationship through mounting the diagnostic cast
The dental cast surveyor is an absolute necessity in which patients are being treated with removable partial dentures.
Mouth preparations, in the appropriate sequence, should be oriented toward the goal of
providing adequate support, stability,
retention, and
a harmonious occlusion for the partial denture.
Support for Distal Extension Denture Bases
A base made to fit the anatomic ridge form does not provide adequate support under occlusal loading.
The base may be made to fit the form of the ridge when under function.
Support for Distal Extension Denture Bases

Holistic wellness system presentation massage therapy
1. Discover how massage helps balance the
body, along with the various styles of
massage therapies and their benefits.
2. • Massage a form of bodywork that involves rubbing and
manipulating the soft tissues of the body.
• Pressure is typically applied with the hands, but massage
therapists may also use their feet, elbows or other body parts.
• Styles of massage vary from gentle to stimulating.
• There are over 80 known different types of massage.
• Results from the 2007 survey by the American Massage
Association indicate that 25% of all American adults received a
massage in the previous year.
3. • The skin is the body's largest sensory organ and includes
thousands of specialized receptors which react to external
stimuli by sending messages through the nervous system to the
brain.
• Massage manipulates soft tissue, which produces a change in
the connective tissue and musculature structures.
• Kneading actions increase circulation and increase energy.
• Longer strokes flush toxins from the lymphatic system and
promote relaxation.
• Deeper movements produce a change in the underlying tissues
and muscles.
4. • Reduces pain, tissue injury and inflammation
• Relieves soreness, tension, and stiffness
• Improves muscle tone and motor skills
• Increases flexibility and range of motion of joints by stretching
muscle tissue
• Improves blood flow to muscles and joints, accelerating
recovery from fatigue and injury
• Heals connective tissue build-up and reduces scarring
• Breaks down or prevents adhesions (knots) and fibrosis
• Reduces recovery time from injuries
• Prevents or delays muscular atrophy resulting from inactivity
from injury, age, surgery, or illness

6. • Depending on the length and type of massage it can stimulate
and increase energy to the nervous system or have a sedative
effect and relax the nervous system
• Relieves restlessness and insomnia, restores healthy sleeping
patterns
• Relieves pain due to pinched or entrapped nerves
• Stimulates the body to release neurotransmitters such as
endorphins which reduce pain
• Helps balance the autonomic nervous system

• Increases retention of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur to aid in
bone repair
• Improves posture
8. • Helps the body eliminate metabolic waste
• Increases kidney function to remove wastes
• Releases bladder tension
9. • Develops and maintains the integrity of respiratory muscles
• Regulates healthy respiration
• Promotes deeper breathing
• Releases tension in the ribcage and muscles associated with
inhalation and exhalation
• Reduce congestion in the lungs
• Encourages the absorption of oxygen in body tissues
• Stimulates blood flow to and from the lungs which helps
remove waste from the body
10. • Reduces depression and anxiety associated with PMS

• Alleviate menstrual problems such as period pains, irregular
menstruation, PMS and the symptoms of menopause
• Can be used to detect lumps or irregularities in the breasts

11. • Relieves constipation and gas by improving the peristalic
movement of the colon and small intestines
• Relaxes the abdominal and intestinal muscles, reducing
cramping in those areas
• Encourages the body to eliminate waste materials through the
large intestine by stimulating peristalsis
• Stimulates activity of liver to promote digestion
• Reduces nausea
12. • Improves skin tone by removing dead cells
• Regenerates tissue, to promote healing from burns and other wounds
• Helps to normalize glandular functions
• Improve elasticity of skin and reduces wrinkles
• Stimulates blood flow to nourish the skin
• Increases sebum production to improve the supple quality of skin
• Improves skin resistance to infection
• Dilates capillaries which improves skin tone
• Increases oxygen and nutrient flow to the skin and promotes cell
regeneration
13. • Increases blood flow relieving pain due to swelling
• Increases the flow of oxygen and nutrients to cells and tissues
throughout the body
• Reduces pain due to the irritation of nerves that control your
circulatory system
• Relieves congestion throughout the body
• Increases the number of red blood cells, especially in cases of anemia
• Lowers blood pressure and heart rate by improving surface
circulation
• Massage movements directed towards the heart facilitates the flow of
venous blood and lymph back toward the heart and organs.
• Increases the number of red and white blood cells platelets in
circulation
• Elimination of metabolic waste products
14. • Fever-massage stimulates the circulatory system which would work against
the body trying to isolate the pathogen
• High blood pressure-may cause excessive pressure on the walls on blood
vessels
• Hernia-may pressure may cause additional irritation
• Infectious diseases-may proliferate throughout the body
• Varicose veins-can be painful if the immediate area
experiences excess pressure
• Osteoporosis-brittle bones may be too weak for a stimulating massage
• Broken bones-can affect the mending of the bones, however can be
beneficial if done on the surrounding area
• HIV infection-if open lesions on present on the skin a massage could delay
healing
• Skin issues: rashes, burns irritations and inflammations should be avoided
as the rubbing could further irritate the area
15. • Avoid alcohol, it can contribute to the amount of toxins
released into the bloodstream.
• Abstain from food for a minimum of two hours before the
appointment. Undigested food will make the massage less
comfortable.
• Avoid caffeine, it can cause nervousness which can tense the
body.
• Drink lots of water, having a well hydrated body will help to
eliminate toxins.
• Before the massage communication is encouraged with the
massage therapist so it is customized to your specific needs.
16. • Uses long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the
heart.
• Beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing
muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing
tension.
• Swedish massage uses five styles of long, flowing strokes to
massage. The five basic strokes include:
1. Effleurage-sliding or gliding
2. Petrissage-kneading
3. Tapotement-rhythmic tapping
4. Friction-cross fiber
5. Vibration-shaking
17. • Aimed at the manipulating the deeper tissue structures of the
muscle and connective tissue.
• Uses many of the same techniques in Swedish massage only
with increased pressure to release muscle tension.
• Releases chronic muscle tension and usually focuses on
specific areas.
• Deep tissue massage releases tensed muscles, therefore
allowing oxygen and nutrients to flow to the area.
• Research from the Journal of Alternative and Complimentary
Medicine found that a 45-60 minute deep tissue massage can be
used to reduce blood pressure.
18. • A style of massage that uses pressure to stimulate acupressure
points.
• It was founded on the Traditional Chinese Medicine meridian
system.
• The therapist applies pressure with the thumbs, fingers, and
palms to specific areas of the client's body that have been
previously determined during an assessment.
• Includes techniques such as rolling, brushing, vibrating,
grasping all in one particular technique.
• Shiatsu (Kanji: 指圧 Hiragana: しあつ) is Japanese for "finger
pressure”
•
19. • Involves the application of heated and/or cooled stones to the body
during a massage.
• The heated stones are used to promote circulation, decreases tension
and relaxes the connective tissues. This allows the therapist to more
easily perform deep tissue manipulations.
• The heated stones are often basalt, a black volcanic rock that absorbs
and retains heat well, but other types can be used as well.
• Smooth marble stones are often used for cold stone massage therapy.
• Cold stone massage serves as a means to reduce swelling and
accelerate the healing process. It can also refresh the mind, soothe
irritation, and cool down the body. It is highly recommended for
those who have injuries with inflammation.

starting at the feet and progressing up to the head.
• It uses a sequence of gentle, flowing yoga-like movements,
where the recipient's body is moved, loosened and stretched.

while the practitioner uses the weight of their body to apply
pressure rhythmic with their hands, feet, elbows or other body
parts.
• Thai massage is one of the branches of Thai traditional
medicine (TTM).
• Nuad Phaen Boran as is it called in Thailand, translates as
Ancient Massage or Traditional Massage.

associated with pregnancy can also be relieved with pre-natal massage.
• Pre-natal massage works by encouraging blood and lymph circulation, it
helps to relax nervous tension to encourage better sleep.
• It can help relieve depression or anxiety caused by hormonal changes.
• Some prenatal massage therapists use a special table or pad with hollowed-
out areas and special pillows to accommodate the belly and breasts so the
women may lie facedown.
• Pillows, wedges, or a full-length body pillow may also be used for support
so the women may lie on her side.
22. • A gentle form of massage that encourages circulation of the body's
lymphatic system while reinforcing immune system functioning.
• Lymphatic massages are characterized by light, slow, flowing,
circular movements. This is due because the lymphatic fluid is
located just below the skin and the massage techniques mimic the
rhythm of the lymphatic system.
• The movements move the skin in the direction of the flow of the
lymphatic system to encourage toxins to be removed from the body.
• The focus of a lymph massage is typically on the upper body,
including the face, neck, and arms.
• Mild flu-like symptoms may be felt after the massage depending on
the toxicity level of the body including diet and environmental toxins
present.

and reduce recovery time.
• Sports massage generally focuses on muscle-tendon junctions.
• A 2010 study in the journal of Strength and Conditioning Research
found that even a 30-second massage improved hip-flexor range of
motion.
• Sports massages can be broken into 4 distinct categories:
1. pre-event sports massage
2. post-event sports massage
3. restorative sports massage
4. rehabilitative sports massage
25. • A trigger point is a tight area of muscle which can refer pain to
other areas of the body.
• Trigger point massage applies direct pressure to specific areas
of the body to get to the root of the problem.
• Once pressure is applied to the trigger point the constricted
muscle is able to relax.
• The trigger point massage consists of a period of isolated
pressure and release. The recipient may also be asked to engage
in some deep breathing exercises to identify the location of the
trigger point and release stress.
26. • Growing in popularity as a corporate, office, or workspace
massage for employees.
• A shorter 10-15 minute massage where the recipient sits
clothed in a chair, leaning slightly forward. with the face
resting in a cradle, looking down towards the floor leaving the
back and neck relaxed.
• Massage focuses on the back, shoulders, neck and arms.
