1) A study measured the range of motion of joints during Muslim prayers (salat), which are performed 5 times daily. Using a goniometer, the active ranges of motion of involved joints were examined at different postures.
2) Specific postures like raising arms parallel to ears increases blood flow to lymph nodes and arm muscles. Bowing at a 90 degree angle (ruku) helps control back problems and develops flexibility. Kneeling (sajdah) benefits brain, lungs, and the entire spine through proper blood flow and stimulation of glands.
3) Prayers provide physical, mental and spiritual benefits through their motions, postures, and sequences. They help address issues like depression,

Homeopathy has a very good scope in treatment of cervical spondylosis.
As it is told before that the pain commonly arises from suppression or irritation of the spinal nerves that comes out from spinal cord so the treatment should be targeted how to decompress the nerve portion and to heal the injures nerves.The compressions of nerves are generally caused by the muscles and ligaments present around the area. If any muscles get over stressed that may put extra pressure to the concern spinal nerve and in the course of time there will be pain on that portion. Similarly if there is any pressure effect of the concern ligaments to the spinal nerves that can also causes pain.
The document provides instructions for several yoga poses and breathing exercises. It describes the Shwanasana pose, which tones the ankles and knees in preparation for other poses. It also outlines the Janu-Chalan technique which involves rotating the knees together in circular motions to improve health of the knee muscles and ligaments. Finally, it explains the Bhramari pranayama breathing exercise where the exhale produces a humming sound to quiet the mind and relax the nervous system.
1. More than 80% of adults will experience debilitating back pain at some point, which is the leading cause of missed work time. Back pain can involve muscles, bones, or discs, ranging from minor muscle pain to serious issues like slipped discs.
2. Upper and middle back pain is less common than lower back or neck pain because those areas have less flexibility. The back works to keep the spine stable and protect organs.
3. Small lifestyle changes can help prevent back pain and disability, such as maintaining good posture, avoiding heavy lifting, and exercising the back and core muscles.
Spinal Decompression Techniques With Yoga7 Pranayama
Some yoga poses are specifically designed to elongate the spine, relieve tension, and improve posture. These poses can help decompress the spine, creating space between the vertebrae and allowing for better circulation of fluids, nutrients, and oxygen to the spinal discs.
The document discusses the anatomy of the back, common causes of back pain, symptoms of back pain, and ways to maintain a healthy back. It describes the bones, discs, muscles, and nerves that make up the spine. Common sources of back pain are discussed as disc degeneration, muscle strain, osteoporosis, and spinal stenosis. Home treatments for back pain include rest, ice/heat, over-the-counter medications, and exercises after pain subsides. Maintaining a healthy back involves regular exercise, proper lifting technique, good posture, and stress reduction.

This document discusses relaxation techniques. It defines relaxation as a state where muscle tension and mental stress are reduced through conscious effort. Relaxation can be general, involving the whole body, or local, targeting specific muscle groups. Several factors like muscle tone, posture, movement, and mental state can affect relaxation. Techniques to achieve general relaxation include assuming supported, comfortable positions and creating a restful atmosphere. Specific techniques discussed are autogenic training, progressive muscle relaxation, and the contrast method, which involve sequentially contracting and relaxing different muscle groups.
Children are natural yogis. All babies are born with healthy posture, the ability to breathe deeply, and an open attitude toward life. We shouldn't forget these healthy ways to move, breathe, and be by practicing yoga. Yoga teacher training for children is a must.
Spondylitis is a common cause of chronic back and neck pain that develops due to inflammation of the vertebrae in the spinal cord. It causes stiffness, immobility, and degenerative changes in the spine over time if left uncontrolled. There are three main types - cervical, lumbar, and ankylosing spondylitis - characterized by pain and restricted movement in the corresponding spinal regions. Yoga poses and breathing techniques can help reduce pain and muscle spasms in spondylitis, especially when practiced regularly under guidance in mild cases.

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.

Coronary Circulation and Ischemic Heart Disease_AntiCopy.pdfMedicoseAcademics
In this lecture, we delve into the intricate anatomy and physiology of the coronary blood supply, a crucial aspect of cardiac function. We begin by examining the physiological anatomy of the coronary arteries, which lie on the heart's surface and penetrate the cardiac muscle mass to supply essential nutrients. Notably, only the innermost layer of the endocardial surface receives direct nourishment from the blood within the cardiac chambers.
We then explore the specifics of coronary circulation, including the dynamics of blood flow at rest and during strenuous activity. The impact of cardiac muscle compression on coronary blood flow, particularly during systole and diastole, is discussed, highlighting why this phenomenon is more pronounced in the left ventricle than the right.
Regulation of coronary circulation is a complex process influenced by autonomic and local metabolic factors. We discuss the roles of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, emphasizing the dominance of local metabolic factors such as hypoxia and adenosine in coronary vasodilation. Concepts like autoregulation, active hyperemia, and reactive hyperemia are explained to illustrate how the heart adjusts blood flow to meet varying oxygen demands.
Ischemic heart disease is a major focus, with an exploration of acute coronary artery occlusion, myocardial infarction, and subsequent physiological changes. The lecture covers the progression from acute occlusion to infarction, the body's compensatory mechanisms, and the potential complications leading to death, such as cardiac failure, pulmonary edema, fibrillation, and cardiac rupture.
We also examine coronary steal syndrome, a condition where increased cardiac activity diverts blood flow away from ischemic areas, exacerbating the condition. The long-term impact of myocardial infarction on cardiac reserve is discussed, showing how the heart's capacity to handle increased workloads is significantly reduced.
Angina pectoris, a common manifestation of ischemic heart disease, is analyzed in terms of its causes, presentation, and referred pain patterns. We identify factors that exacerbate anginal pain and discuss both medical and surgical treatment options.
Finally, the lecture includes a case study to apply theoretical knowledge to a practical scenario, helping students understand the real-world implications of coronary circulation and ischemic heart disease. The role of biochemical factors in cardiac pain and the interpretation of ECG changes in myocardial infarction are also covered.
