To the morphology of the terminal nervous apparatus in the muscles of voluntary movement

According to the views prevailing at the present time, the muscles of voluntary movement do not have independent sensitive devices, and all the manifestations of muscle sensitivity, whether this latter is expressed in the form of pain sensitivity, or in the form of muscular feeling, are explained by the presence of tendon sensory nerve endings, internum , - in a word, in connective tissue and connective tissue formations, exposed to mechanical impact from the contracting muscles.

Fascia and biotensegrity: Bio-somatic dance movement naturotherapy

This article is offered in the spirit of supporting students studying at home during the COVID-19 lockdown. It is offered as a study aid for those who may not be able to return to the studio for months but want to continue with their life-giving somatic studies at home. The article shares the properties of fascia and biotensegrity. I reflect on why somatic movement dance education and therapy is an effective approach in the world of fascial therapies. The first areas covered are sensory nerve endings found in fascia that respond to different types of movement and pressure, such as Golgi organs, Ruffini receptors, Pacini corpuscles and interstitial receptors. Other movement concepts covered are omnidirectional volume, pressure, time, stretch, gravity, ground reaction, floating bones, and chirality and counter-chirality. The article serves as an introduction to biotensegrity and why fascia innervates the parsympathetics. Of note, the article is pedagogical, primarily aimed at supporting students who are training in somatic movement dance education and therapy. Throughout the article Karin Rugman and Maisie Beth James offer experiential sensory images applying key ideas about fascia in the studio.

Laser frenectomy of papilla penetrating frenulum- A case report

Aberrant labial frenum attachment hampers function and aesthetics in maxillary anterior region which can be managed by frenectomy or frenotomy using conventional scalpel incisions or Laser. I preferred to use diode laser due to its extremely precise cutting, clear and bloodless operating field, fast ablation, instant hemostasis, predictable tissue response and less posoperative pain due to coagulation effect on small blood vessels and sensory nerve endings reducing the use of analgesics and pre-operative anaesthesia. I present a case of midline diastema caused by papilla penetrating labial frenulum attachment treated with diode laser frenectomy.

Neuroimmune regulation of lung infection and inflammation

The distal airway of the lung is innervated by vagus nerve. Upon stimulation, vagus nerve endings release acetylcholine or neuropeptides via C-fiber afferents to regulate lung infection and immunity. Vagal sensory nerve endings, brain integration center, acetylcholine and α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) expressing cells are key components of pulmonary parasympathetic inflammatory reflex. Meanwhile, this local machinery synergizes with spleen (as a functional hub of cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway) to finely tune recruitment of the splenic α7 nAChR+CD11b+ cells into the inflamed lungs during lung infection. Recent studies have showed that lung group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) express both α7 nAChR and neuropeptide receptors. Acetylcholine and neuropeptides can regulate ILC2 and reshape pulmonary infection and immunity. Among the airway epithelial cells, pulmonary neuroendocrine cells are rare cell population; however, these cells are innervated by sensory nerve endings and they could secrete neuropeptides that influence lung infection and immunity.
