Effects of self-myofascial release: A systematic review.

2015

Summary Background Self-myofascial release (SMFR) is a type of myofascial release performed by the individual themselves rather than by a clinician, typically using a tool. Objectives To review the literature regarding studies exploring acute and chronic clinical effects of SMFR. Methods PubMed and Google Scholar databases were searched during February 2015 for studies containing words related to the topic of SMFR. Results Acutely, SMFR seems to increase flexibility and reduce muscle soreness but does not impede athletic performance. It may lead to improved arterial function, improved vascular endothelial function, and increased parasympathetic nervous system activity acutely, which could b…

Dietética china y nutrigenómica, posibles puntos de convergencia

2015

Resumen La versatilidad de la dietetica china la convierte en un recurso util a nivel preventivo y terapeutico. No obstante, sus fundamentos teoricos (basados en criterios cualitativos de los alimentos) hacen dificil su asimilacion por parte de los dietistas occidentales. Por ello resulta util encontrar puntos de confluencia y acercamiento entre ambas lineas de pensamiento dietetico. El reciente desarrollo de la nutrigenomica y sus investigaciones en el ambito de la regulacion genetica por parte de los nutrientes, asi como la aparicion de nuevos nutrientes implicados, como los xenomiRs, suscitan posibles explicaciones moleculares a conceptos empiricos clasicos de la dietetica china.

La relación anverso reverso de Corazón-Intestino Delgado. Pareja de acoplados Corazón-Intestino Delgado

2012

Resumen Se investigan razonamientos que, basados en datos medicos chinos y occidentales, conducen a la comprension de la asociacion del Corazon con el Intestino Delgado, organos que la Medicina Tradicional China (MTC) en la fase energetica Fuego, vincula tanto funcional como anatomicamente. La relacion directa entre Higado y Vesicula Biliar y entre Rinon y Vejiga es reconocida y aceptada tanto en MTC como en Biomedicina. No ocurre lo mismo con las parejas que segun la morfofisiologia oriental forman el Corazon con el Intestino Delgado, el Bazo con el Estomago y el Pulmon con el Intestino Grueso, pares que Occidente no asocia como tales. Desde la doble perspectiva del medico que practica la …

Moda y Arte en el diseño de autor argentino

2019

El presente artículo presenta una exploración acerca de la cuestión del arte y la moda.A partir de la presentación de dos casos de “diseño de autor argentino”, se intenta responder a lapresunción de incluir o no dentro de lo que se considera arte a las pequeñas colecciones realizadas por creadores argentinos. Para ello, se exponen casos específicos de dos reconocidos referentes: Luz Príncipe y Marcelo Senra. Finalmente, se hace alusión a algunos de los movimientosculturales que han sido emergentes del descontento social debido, entre otros motivos, a lascrisis económicas y a los cambios producidos por éstas. Este descontento social se manifestóen todas las áreas del arte. Los artistas prego…

Promoting emotional skills in early adolescents with mental health conditions in music therapy : a content analysis of focus group interviews

2023

Introduction: Music therapy is actively used with early adolescents in relation to their emotional skill development. Yet, the conceptualization of emotional skills is typically not systematically addressed in therapeutic practice. This study examined music therapists’ views on the progress of emotional skills when working with early adoles-cents with mental health conditions. The study also explored what kind of methods the therapists use with the target group, and the applicability of a previously pub-lished conceptual model. Method: We conducted a deductive-inductive content analysis of transcripts from four focus group interviews among 13 professional music therapists. Results: The ther…

Arte Textil y tradición en la Provincia de Catamarca, Noroeste Argentino

2019

espanolLas tradiciones textiles en la Provincia de Catamarca, constituyen parte de una identidad cultural conformada a partir de elementos muy pujantes provenientes de distinto origen. Estos se traslucen tanto en estilos y tecnicas de piezas de exquisita estetica y calidad. Evidencian ademas, la historia de las industrias y manufacturas textiles que aportaron al desarrollo de esta actividad, considerada por sus habitantes como parte de su idiosincracia que -lamentablemente- con los anos tiende a desaparecer. EnglishThe textile traditions in the province of Catamarca, are part of a cultural identity formed from very vigorous elements from different origins. These are permeated both styles an…

La pareja Bazo–Estómago y el trayecto de Zuyangming

2015

In this paper, we study the reason why Zuyangming (stomach meridian) travels the body through yin territory in contrast with the other eleven main meridians governed by the quantitative–qualitative yinyang synchronicity of meridians and territories to discover. Zuyangming meets this principle only partially (in face and leg) and that is why we attempt to decipher the reasons for this exception in the thoraco–abdominal trajectory. Ancient traditional medical texts describe the internal and external routes of meridians and the relations between the spleen–stomach pair, which Su Wen 8 transforms into spleenstomach, mentioning the membranous binding (connective tissue today) which unifies both …

Latinoamérica según Latinoamérica

2019

espanolPartiendo de una observacion sobre el escenario actual que protagoniza Latinoamerica, en contraste con su pasado, el escrito intenta exponer la trascendencia que alcanzan los imaginarios sociales en la construccion de la identidad cultural, y como durante decadas estos imaginarios fueron vulnerados por la intervencion de modelos ajenos. En igual sentido, el abordaje revela las derivaciones del indivisible vinculo entre los medios de comunicacion y los imaginarios sociales, que retumban en la proyeccion de arquetipos y relatos de mundos posibles para la region.
