Preliminary Reflections on the Adaptation of one form of Osteopathic palpation to Acupuncture
Daniel Bensky, D.O.Curriculums:
Fondateur du Seattle Institute of Oriental Medicine The goal of this brief article is to accomplish two simple things. First, introduce a type of palpation adapted from the osteopathic world to serve the practice of acupuncture. While simple and easy to practice, it does take some time to become proficient at this technique. After practicing it for over ten years, I believe I have achieved a modicum of proficiency; enough in any case to present it to the audience of the NAJOM which is well versed in various palpatory techniques. After a brief description of the background to this technique and going over how to practice it, I would like to both talk about some clinical ramifications and use some of my findings utilizing it to look at some of meridian therapy's basic assumptions from a slightly different perspective
New Craniosacral Therapy Research—This Duck Doesn’t Quack Anymore
Chris Centeno, M.D.Curriculums: Upledger's CranioSacral Therapy / SomatoEmotional Release,
Chris Centeno, M.D. is a specialist in regenerative medicine, wrote this article supporting CST. CranioSacral Therapy shown to be effective for neck pain in new high level study. Even I, who have become more and more open to alternative therapies, need to give a hat tip to the CST practitioners, as I also couldn’t get my head completely wrapped around this one. So the next time one of my patients tells me about the relief he or she gets with CST, I’ll be sure to swallow some pride and say, “Wow, that’s awesome!” -Chris Centeno, M.D
Is Lymphatic Balancing the Missing Ingredient to Success in Your Practice?
Kerry D’Ambrogio, DOM, AP, PT, DO-MTP & Tracey Clark DO (MP), DCMOEBCurriculums:
This article talks
about Lymphatic Balancing history and development and how the lymphatic system
works. Dr. Kerry D’Ambrogio said “The
ability to incorporate lymphatic balancing into treatment will also promote
healing from the inside out by helping to create an internal environment that
is conducive to healing.”
New Players in the Obesity Puzzle: The Brain’s Glial Cells
Diana KwonCurriculums:
Discoveries about the roles they play in appetite and metabolism could unlock new strategies against obesity Despite major advances in understanding how neurons control the body’s metabolic processes, scientists are still far from finding a cure for obesity, which has reached pandemic levels in many countries. Researchers investigating glia hope that focusing on these long-overlooked cells will provide some much-needed advances.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Signals Control the Behavior of Stem Cells in the Brain
University of BaselCurriculums:
The choroid plexus, a largely ignored structure in the brain that produces the cerebrospinal fluid, is an important regulator of adult neural stem cells, research indicates. The study also shows that signals secreted by the choroid plexus dynamically change during aging which affects aged stem cell behavior.
Amazing new brain imaging technique shows synaptic density
KEVIN LORIACurriculums:
This breakthrough could help scientists see exactly how depression, Alzheimer's, and autism transform our brains
Researchers just doubled what we know about the map of the human brain
Amy Ellis NuttCurriculums:
In a study online in Nature, a team of researchers more than doubled the number of distinct areas known in the human cortex, from 83 to 180. This new map of the brain combines data from four different imaging technologies to essentially bring high-definition to brain scanning for the first time. The immediate implications, say those familiar with the results, include the possibility of identifying biological markers for a host of neurological diseases and mental illnesses, and the new knowledge may aid neurosurgeons who need to know exactly what sort of tissue they are operating on.
