Fundamentals of Chaos and Self-Organization Theory in Sports
This study provides the most recent data on pedagogical synergy in sports on th e basis of the chaos and self-organization theory. We established the importance of educational and training processes for the structural harmonious organization of natural systems and the cerebral cortex for scientific improvement; additionally we carried out a synergy analysis of physiological bas es of visual and acoustic perceptions which organize themselves on the basis of the interface of the functions of human body and functional activities of the brain.Integr Med Int 2017;4:57-65 (Source: Integrative Medicine International)

Yoga: Can It Be Integrated with Treatment of Neuropathic Pain
Background: Neuropathic pain (NP) is a debilitating condition that may result from spinal cord injury (SCI). Nearly 75% of all SCIs result in NP affecting 17,000 new individuals in the United States every year, and an estimated 7-10% of people worldwide. It is caused by damaged or dysfunctional nerve fibers sending aberrant signals to pain centers in the central nervous system causing severe pain that affects daily life and routine. The mechanisms underlying NP are not fully understood, making treatment difficult. Identification of specific molecular pathways that are involved in pain syndromes and finding effective treatm...

Effect of Integrated Yoga Therapy on Arterial Stiffness: A Pilot Study on Young and Older Adults with Obesity
Background/Aims: The studies on the effect of integrated yoga therapy have shown significant results in improving the overall health. However, the effect of integrated yoga therapy on arterial stiffness is not yet established. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of integrated yoga therapy on arterial stiffness measured at the radial artery.Methods: A total of 18 participants were included in the study. The participants were divided into three groups based on their age and body mass index. There were 5 participants in group 1 who were considered as nonobese, 7 younger adults with obesity were included in grou...

Person-Centered Healthcare and Integrated Public Health
The incubation of person-centered healthcare for integrated public health is the focus of this short communication. Here we look at creating an equipoise between culture, medicine, and translational research methods. We propose that these factors can be explored through participatory action research and on-site training of early-career medical professionals. This approach may be one way to build a bridge between trusted tradition and evidence-informed practice. The authors share twelve paths through which integration might occur. They challenge medical professionals to take their places alongside researchers, policy makers...

Liver in the Chinese and Western Medicine
Background: The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is based on the 5-element theory, which emphasizes the importance of the dynamic balance among the liver, heart, spleen, lung, and kidney. It is quite confusing that the 5 viscera in TCM share the same names with the organs in Western medicine. Spleen is the only viscus that differs most from the modern concept, while the remaining 4 viscera can all find similarities with the corresponding organs in Western medicine; however, the viscus in TCM is always a broader concept.Key Messages: The 5 major functions of the liver in TCM correspond to the nerve-endocrine-immune networ...

Integrative Views of the Heart in Chinese and Western Medicine
There is a general acknowledgement in almost all civilizations that the heart is the most important organ in the human body. Both Chinese medicine and Western traditional medicine have a long history of heart research, but they have developed different points of view based on the basic cognition. Traditional Chinese medicine is good at summarizing the correspondence and relationship between the heart and exterior things. The physiological functions of the heart are governing blood and vessels, controlling the mind, opening into the tongue, manifesting on the face, and so on, while modern Western medicine does well in explo...
