Planck's momentous suggestion that radiation is quantized —that it comes in discrete amounts—was a proclamation that arrived with little fanfare on December 14, 1900, only later to be hailed as mankind's greatest hope in discovering the true nature of reality and our place in the universe, as well as providing us with powerful energy sources and milita ristic might.

Yoga may be noninferior to physical therapy for disability and pain at 12 weeks and both might improve function more than education in low resource adults with chronic nonspecific low back pain
Column Description: DynaMed is an evidence-based clinical reference, which is updated daily through systematic surveillance and critical appraisal of the research literature. DynaMed editors and reviewers select content of interest for integrative medicine, summarize the current evidence, and describe challenges in evidence analysis and application. Evidence quality is rated level 1 (likely reliable) evidence for studies with clinical outcomes and minimal risk of bias, level 2 (mid-level) evidence for studies with clinical outcomes and significant methodological or statistical limitations, and level 3 (lacking direct) evid...

More than 80% of VA Medical Facilities Offer Integrative Medicine for Pain Management
A new study from the RAND Corporation shows that nearly 80% of military medical facilities are offering integrative medicine for pain management and psychological treatment instead of opioids when possible. RAND conducted an environmental scan of military treatment facilities (MTFs) to understand the availability of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), the conditions for which CAM is being used, and the types and process of credentialing and privileging of CAM providers. They found that most MTFs (83%) offer CAM services, usually up to eight different types, with relaxation therapy, acupuncture, progressive muscle...

The origin of possibility
Have you ever noticed the wide the range of interpretations around the meaning of Vision in the role of leadership? For a leader to be an Effective Leader they must be resolved about their vision for the organization and in many cases, for themselves. When I ask leaders about vision there are some who are incredibly precise and others who are incredibly fearful. It is one of the most critical components to unlocking organizational performance. If a team or an organization is underperforming or not happy with the results being derived this is first place to look. (Source: Explore)

Two Case Reports: Using Simulated Reattachment to Treat Persistent Complex Bereavement Disorder and PTSD
These case reports focus on a rapid treatment for persistent complex bereavement disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which appears to activate the mirror neuron network. Simulated reattachment is a technique which has been found to repair phantom limb pain in just a few sessions. The same neuroplasticity that accomplishes phantom pain relief has been found to occur in the treatment of complicated grief and PTSD using similar methods. The simulated reattachment for the client in Case one was found to significantly reduce the symptoms of both complicated grief and obsessive –compulsive disorder (OCD) within ...

Strange-face Illusions During Interpersonal-Gazing and Personality Differences of Spirituality
Strange-face illusions are produced when two individuals gaze at each other in the eyes in low illumination for more than a few minutes. Usually, the members of the dyad perceive numinous apparitions, like the other ’s face deformations and perception of a stranger or a monster in place of the other, and feel a short lasting dissociation. In the present experiment, the influence of the spirituality personality trait on strength and number of strange-face illusions was investigated.
