Nikyo is the second teaching of Aikido ( ni-two, kyo-teaching, in Japanese). It is a joint-lock technique that results in extreme pain. It allows one to control an opponent by destroying his will to continue fighting. Nikyo is accomplished by flexing and adducting an opponent's wrist producing an instantaneous sharp pain that causes him to fall to his knees involuntarily to alleviate the pressure. The exact etiology of the pain elicited by this technique has been obscure to many practitioners. The usual explanations have been nerve compression, joint capsular stretch, tendon/muscle strain, or partial ligamentous disruption. Studies of a cadaver's wrist have shown that Nikyo forcibly compresses the pisiform bone against the ulna, two bones that do not normally articulate. The intense pain thereby produced results from stimulation of the periosteal nerves in these bony surfaces.

Dismenore muncul dengan berbagai jenis rasa nyeri,sepeti sakit yang teramat sangat, berdenyut, mual, nyeri seperti terbakar, atau sakit yang sangat menusuk.Dismenore bisa mendahului menstruasi dengan beberapa hari atau mungkin menyertainya, dan biasanya berkurang hingga akhir menstruasi. Dismenore bisa hidup berdampingan dengan kehilangan darah berlebihan berat, yang dikenal sebagai menorrhagia. Dalam keadaan yang normal, nyeri haid hanya membuat wanita merasa sakit dan tidak nyaman. Tetapi dalam keadaan yang parah, nyeri haid ini bisa membuat wanita tidak dapat bekerja dan harus beristirahat, nyeri sering bersamaan dengan rasa mual, sakit kepala, perasaan mau pingsan dan lekas marah..Tujuan kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat adalah mengetahui dan memahami tentang nyeri haid/disminore serta mengetahui dan memahami cara penanganan nyeri haid/disminore sehingga tidak mengganggu aktivitas selama pembelajaran di sekolah. Kegiatan dilaksanakan dua kali yaitu pertemuan pertama dengan memberikan penyuluhan tentang upaya cara mengatasi nyeri haid/disminore pada remaja putri. pertemuan kedua dengan demonstrasi cara mengatasi nyeri haid/disminore pada remaja putri. Hasil dari pengabdian menunjukkan bahwa ada peningkatan pengetahuan tentang nyeri haid/disminore serta mengetahui dan memahami cara penanganan nyeri haid/disminore. Kata kunci: disminore; menstruasi; remaja putri EFFORTS HOW TO OVERCOME DISMINORE IN PRINCESS ADOLESCENTS ABSTRACT Dysmenorrhea presents with various types of pain, such as extreme pain, throbbing, nausea, burning pain, or very sharp pain. Dysmenorrhea can precede menstruation by several days or may accompany it, and usually decreases until the end of menstruation. Dysmenorrhea can coexist with heavy excessive blood loss, known as menorrhagia. Under normal circumstances, menstrual pain only makes women feel sick and uncomfortable. But in severe conditions, menstrual pain can make a woman unable to work and must rest, pain often coincides with nausea, headaches, feelings of fainting and irritability. The purpose of community service activities is to know and understand menstrual pain/ disminore as well as knowing and understanding how to manage menstrual pain / disminore so that it does not interfere with activities during learning at school. Activities carried out twice, namely the first meeting by providing counseling about efforts to overcome menstrual pain/ disminore in princess adolescents. The second meeting with a demonstration of how to overcome menstrual pain/ disminore in princess adolescents. The results of devotion show that there is an increase in knowledge about menstrual pain/ disminore and knowing and understanding how to manage menstrual pain / disminore. Keywords: disminore, menstruation, princess adolescents

 La cefalea en racimos es un tipo de cefalea trigémino-autonómica con síntomas marcadamente disfuncionales debidos al intenso dolor y a la aparición de signos disautonómicos hemicraneales ipsilaterales recurrentes. El tratamiento médico no siempre resulta eficaz o puede no tolerarse debido a sus efectos adversos. El desarrollo de técnicas quirúrgicas que inciden en el tratamiento a través de la estimulación de estructuras directamente relacionadas con el dolor, supone una nueva  y esperanzadora herramienta terapéutica para este tipo de pacientes. Además de una cirugía correcta, el tipo de anestesia para la intervención debe ser cuidadosa y adecuarse a la necesidad de trabajar sobre un campo quirúrgico oro-facial amplio. Presentamos dos casos de pacientes con cefalea en racimos de evolución crónica y refractaria a tratamiento, sometidos a la implantación quirúrgica de un microestimulador en el ganglio esfenopalatino bajo anestesia general. ABSTRACT Sphenopalatine ganglion microstimulator surgical insertion. Anesthetic management and literature review Cluster headache is a trigeminal-autonomic headache with severe symptoms due to recurrent intense pain and ipsilateral autonomic manifestations. Medical treatment is not always succesful or may be poorly tolerated for side effects. The development of surgical technics who involve the stimulation of the pain centers, is a new and hopeful tool for these patients. Althought a correct surgery, anesthesia may be careful and must fit into a board surgical orofacial field. We expose a case for chronic and refractory cluster headache, treated by sphenopalatine ganglion microstimulator surgical insertion under general anesthesia.

Background: We have previously described painful epileptic seizures involving the primary and second somatosensory cortices. A recently encountered 24 year old man described left hemicorporial, painful seizures in association with a tumor involving the right insula. Methods: Case description with imaging and EEG. Results: The patient described frequent, sharp pains simultaneously involving the left face, upper and lower limbs and trunk that lasted from several seconds to a minute and were 10/10 in intensity. These markedly lessened in frequency but the severity of the pain persisted with a maintenance dose of 600 mg/day of carbamazepine. Neurological examination, including cortical sensation, was normal. MRI revealed a 3 cm rounded lesion deep to but immediately against the entire right insula but not extending cortically beyond the confines of the insula. EEGs have been unremarkable. The lesion has been stable for over 1 year. Conclusions: Insular seizures can produce brief, sharp, intense pain that involves the whole of the contralateral body simultaneously. This is in keeping with the insula as part of the pain matrix with connections with the thalamus. Stimulation of the posterior insula can produce hemicorporial pain without a march similar to that experienced by our patient.

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is a rare, transient cardiomyopathy, with symptoms mimicking myocardial infarction. It has been reported to typically occur in postmenopausal women and is often triggered by an intense physical or emotional event with stimulation of the sympathetic response; the exact etiology, however, is uncertain. Bone morphogenic protein (BMP) is widely used in spinal fusions and has been associated with numerous perioperative complications. BMP is known to stimulate sympathetic pathways. In this paper, we present the case of a patient with a 7-hour episode of TC after a spinal fusion with bone morphogenic protein. The patient's symptoms resolved and long-term followup has been uneventful. This is the first paper to describe TC in the setting of spine or other major orthopaedic surgery and it suggests another possible area for further investigation in peri-operative events potentially associated with the use of bone morphogenic protein.

Osteoarthritis (OA) belongs to a group of degenerative diseases. Synovial inflammation, cartilage abrasion, and subchondral sclerosis are characteristics of OA. Researchers do not fully understand the exact etiology of OA. However, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which are responsible for cartilage matrix degradation, play a pivotal role in the progression of OA. Amphiregulin (AREG) binds to the EGF receptor (EGFR) and activates downstream proteins. AREG is involved in a variety of pathological processes, such as the development of tumors, inflammatory diseases, and rheumatoid arthritis. However, the relationship between AREG and MMP-13 in OA synovial fibroblasts (SFs) remains unclear. We investigated the signaling pathway involved in AREG-induced MMP-13 production in SFs. AREG caused MMP-13 production in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The results of using pharmacological inhibitors and EGFR siRNA to block EGFR revealed that the EGFR receptor was involved in the AREG-mediated upregulation of MMP-13. AREG-mediated MMP-13 production was attenuated by PI3K and Akt inhibitors. The stimulation of cells by using AREG activated p65 phosphorylation and p65 translocation from the cytosol to the nucleus. Our results provide evidence that AREG acts through the EGFR and activates PI3K, Akt, and finally NF-kappaB on the MMP-13 promoter, thus contributing to cartilage destruction during osteoarthritis.

The results of surgical treatment of 222 patients with lumbar osteochondrosis complicated by nerve root syndrome with proved nerve compression show that prolonged conservative treatment including physiotherapy, distraction, manual therapy aggravates the patients condition due to stimulation of the proliferative processes in spinal canal. Timely surgical treatment allows to prevent the complications, decrease the disability duration and to return the patient to everyday life and work with minimum economic and time costs.

ABSTRACT- The competitive and hectic lifestyle increases the incidence of muscular disease. Muscle strain usually causes acute pain and occurs during strenuous activity. In the lower leg strain there is sharp pain, tenderness, restricted planter flexion and patient is unable to walk.The line of treatment is PRICE i.e. Protection, Rest, Ice application, Compression, Elevation. In chikitsa sthanaAcharya Sushruta has described Asthibhagna chikitsa in which the pratan abhigatais explained.This condition closely resembles with muscular strain.In the treatment of patana abhigata he advised to apply sheeta pradeha or Parisheka at the site. Vitiated Vata starts destruction in joints by producing pain and inflammation in joints. In Ayurveda, it is known as Shoola. Shoola can be at any region, but it is caused due to the aggravation of the Vata Dhosha.Narayan Taila is good Vatashamaka. A 30-year-old female patient diagnosed with left lower leg muscle strain was treated with Parisheka. This procedure was performed daily for 20 minutes followed bykept soaked gauze with Narayana Taila andsimple roller bandage for 7days. Complaints like pain, stiffnessmild swelling, and Range of motion was assessed before treatment and after treatment. At the site of strain there is accumulation of vatadi doshas and due to this viated vata doshaPain gets aggregated.Narayan Taila has Vatashamaka properties and thus  Narayana Taila Parisheka reduces pain,stiffness, and improved range of motion.

Dental hypersensitivity is a communal problem that we may often encounter in the daily life of both men and women, especially in the elderly who can unconsciously affect every daily activity. Dentin hypersensitivity is defined as sharp pain caused by stimulation of exposed dentin and unprotected dentin by enamel which can be caused by attrition, abrasion, crown fracture, gingival recession, and orthodontic trauma. Aim: The aim of this study was to analyse the potential of hydroxyapatite toothpaste towards the hypersensitive tooth through literature review. Method: This study analyzed 35 journals from each database PubMed, Ebsco, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Wiley Online Library, and other international journal websites with keywords hydroxyapatite, hypersensitive dentin, remineralization. Conclusion: Toothpaste containing hydroxyapatite was more effective than toothpaste without hydroxyapatite in inducing tooth remineralization process. The use of toothpaste containing hydroxyapatite in the long term and routine for 15 days is more effective in reducing dental hypersensitivity.

Cranial sensory innervation is supplied mainly by the trigeminal nerves and by the first cervical nerves. Excitatory and inhibitory interactions among those nerve roots may occur in a mechanism called nociceptive convergence, leading to loss of somato-sensory spatial specificity. Three volunteers in an experimental trial had sterile water injected over their greater occipital nerve on one side of the neck. Pain intensity was evaluated 10, 30 and 120 s after the injection. Two of the patients reported intense pain. Trigeminal autonomic features, suggestive of parasympathetic activation, were seen associated with trigeminally distributed pain. These data add to and reinforce previous evidence of convergence of cervical afferents on the trigeminal sensory circuit.

Summary5,-5'-diphenyl-2-thiohydantoin (DPTH) is an effective inhibitor of thyroxine (T4) stimulation of α-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase in rat liver mitochondria. Because this finding indicated a possible tool for future study of the mode of action of thyroxine, the ultrastructural and biochemical effects of DPTH and/or thyroxine on rat liver mere investigated.Rats were fed either standard or DPTH (0.06%) diet for 30 days before T4 (250 ug/kg/day) was injected. Injection of T4 occurred daily for 10 days prior to sacrifice. After removal of the liver and kidneys, part of the tissue was frozen at -50°C for later biocheailcal analyses, while the rest was prefixed in buffered 3.5X glutaraldehyde (390 mOs) and post-fixed in buffered 1Z OsO4 (376 mOs). Tissues were embedded in Araldlte 502 and the sections examined in a Zeiss EM 9S.Hepatocytes from hyperthyroid rats (Fig. 2) demonstrated enlarged and more numerous mitochondria than those of controls (Fig. 1). Glycogen was almost totally absent from the cytoplasm of the T4-treated rats.
