This editorial is a brief report on the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) ear acupuncture and is intended to briefly summarize the main scientific work. The complementary addiction-detoxification auricular acupuncture method has not been sufficiently experimentally explored in many areas. There have been clinical studies, some of which contradict the success. A total of 27 referenced publications were found that refer to the method that has existed for many decades and should be briefly listed here.

Based on an analysis of John Exner’s peer-reviewed published work from 1959 to 2007, plus a brief comment for an editorial in Rorschachiana, the author draws a comprehensive picture of the scientific work of this outstanding personality. The article is divided into three sections: (1) the experimental studies on the Rorschach, (2) the clinical studies using the Rorschach, and (3) Exner’s “testament,” which we draw from the last paper he saw published before his death (Exner, 2001/2002). The experimental studies were aimed at better understanding the nature of the test, in particular the respective roles of perception and projection in the response process. These fundamental studies led to a deeper understanding of the complex mechanisms involved in the Rorschach responses and introduced some hypotheses about the intentions of the author of the test. The latter were subsequently confirmed by the preparatory sketches and documents of Hermann Rorschach, which today can be seen at the H. Rorschach Archives and Museum in Bern (Switzerland). Exner’s research has evidenced the notion that the Rorschach is a perceptive-cognitive-projective test.

Temporomandibular Pain

Ear acupuncture works by reducing painful sensations with analgesic effect through microsystem therapy and has been demonstrated to be as effective as conventional therapies in the control of facial pain. This clinical trial aimed to evaluate the adjuvant action of auricular acupuncture through an observation of the evolution of temporomandibular and masticatory myofascial symptoms in two groups defined by the therapies elected: auricular acupuncture associated with occlusal splint (study) and the use of the occlusal splint plate alone (control). We have selected 20 patients, who were randomly allocated into two groups of ten individuals. Symptoms were evaluated in five different moments, every seven days. We analyzed the orofacial muscle and joint palpation in order to measure the intensity of the experienced pain. Both groups showed a statistically significant decrease in muscle and joint symptoms (p<0.05). However, comparisons between the groups showed an expressive and significant reduction of symptomatology in the study group (p<0.05) already on the first week of therapy. According to the results, to the methodological criteria developed and statistical analysis applied, the conclusion is that auricular acupuncture therapy has synergistic action on conventional occlusal splint treatment. It was demonstrated to be effective in the reduction of symptoms in the short term.

Stimulation Of

Auricular acupuncture is a diagnostic and treatment system based on normalizing the body's dysfunction through stimulation of definite points on the ear. Rudimentary forms of acupuncture which probably arose during the Stone Age have survived in many parts of the world right down to present day. It was used in the ancient Egypt, Rome, Greece and all the Mediterranean area. It is a microacupuncture technique similar to reflexology, and was first described in France in 1950 by Paul Nogier who is considered the Father of modern ear acupuncture. It was speculated that the technique works because groups of pluripotent cells contain information from the whole organism and create regional organization centers representing different parts of the body. Nevertheless stimulation of a reflex point in the ear seems relieve symptoms of distant pathologies. Modern research is confirming the efficacy of ear acupuncture for analgesia and anxiety related disease, while tobacco dependence and other substance abuse still need confirmation. Actually main methodological problems with auricular acupuncture are that exist too many maps with little agreement regarding point location in the ear, and that the correspondence or reflex systems does not correlated with modern knowledge of anatomy and physiology.

Objetivo: Analisar as evidências disponíveis na literatura sobre o uso da acupuntura auricular na redução da dor em idosos. Metodologia: Revisão integrativa da literatura realizada nas bases MEDLINE, LILACS, Web of Science, Scopus, ScienceDirect e CINAHL, por meio dos descritores “idoso” (aged), “acupuntura auricular” (auricular acupuncture OR ear acupuncture) e “redução da dor” (pain). A busca inicial encontrou 179 estudos, foram incluídos artigos originais, disponíveis na íntegra, em qualquer idioma e não foi adotado recorte temporal. Após a revisão de títulos e resumos, 15 permaneceram para análise do texto completo. Por fim, 11 estudos foram incluídos na revisão. Resultados: A eficácia da acupuntura auricular no controle e tratamento da dor foi evidenciada em populações diversas, tais como idosos oncológicos, indivíduos submetidos a procedimentos cirúrgicos e com algum tipo de dor.  Conclusão: Apesar do número limitado de estudos com idosos, das populações diversificadas e dos diferentes protocolos de intervenção, recomenda-se que a AA associada ou não a outros tratamentos pode contribuir para a redução da dor em idosos.

Professor Fedor Rodionovich Bogdanov was born on October 2 (15 in the Gregorian calendar), 1900. In 1919, Fedor successfully graduated from the classical men’s gymnasium and then entered the medical faculty of Rostov University. In 1930, F.R. Bogdanov and his wife moved to Sverdlovsk, where he became the head of the scientific and educational sector of the Institute and at the same time the head of the clinical department. There he actively studied the current and unresolved problem of treating intra-articular fractures at that time. In 1937, Fedor Rodionovich defended his doctoral thesis on the topic: «Reparative processes in intra-articular fractures and the principles of treatment of these fractures (experimental and clinical studies)». In 1958, F. R. Bogdanov moved to Kiev, where he was elected the head of the Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics of the Institute for Advanced Medical Studies and at the same time was appointed deputy director of the Kiev Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics for scientific work. For all the time of his practical and scientific activity, F.R. Bogdanov was the academic advisor of 31 doctors and 86 candidates of medical sciences, the author and co-author of more than 200 scientific papers and 7 monographs. Professor Fedor Rodionovich Bogdanov died on March 27, 1973 and was buried at the Baikove Cemetery in Kiev.

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common side effect that can be very disabling and can limit or delay the dose of chemotherapy that can be administered. Acupuncture may be effective for treating peripheral neuropathy. The aim of this study was to review the available literature on the use of acupuncture for CIPN. The systematic literature search was performed using MEDLINE, Google Scholar, Cochrane Database, CINHAL, and ISI Proceedings. Hand searching was conducted, and consensus was reached on all extracted data. Only papers in the English language were included, irrespective of study design. From 3989 retrieved papers, 8 relevant papers were identified. One was an experimental study which showed that electroacupuncture suppressed CIPN pain in rats. In addition, there were 7 very heterogeneous clinical studies, 1 controlled randomised study using auricular acupuncture, 2 randomized controlled studies using somatic acupuncture, and 3 case series/case reports which suggested a positive effect of acupuncture in CIPN.Conclusions. Only one controlled randomised study demonstrated that acupuncture may be beneficial for CIPN. All the clinical studies reviewed had important methodological limitations. Further studies with robust methodology are needed to demonstrate the role of acupuncture for treating CIPN resulting from cancer treatment.

Abstract. Early detection of vascular damage in atherosclerosis and accurate assessment of cardiovascular risk factors are the basis for appropriate treatment strategies in cardiovascular medicine. The current review focuses on non-invasive ultrasound-based methods for imaging of atherosclerosis. Endothelial dysfunction is an accepted early manifestation of atherosclerosis. The most widely used technique to study endothelial function is non-invasive, flow-mediated dilation of the brachial artery under high-resolution ultrasound imaging. Although an increased intima-media thickness value is associated with future cardiovascular events in several large population studies, systematic use is not recommended in clinical practice for risk assessment of individual persons. Carotid plaque analysis with grey-scale median, 3-D ultrasound or contrast-enhanced ultrasound are promising techniques for further scientific work in prevention and therapy of generalized atherosclerosis.
