Biofeedback a lucrative career choice?

Biofeedback helps patients improve their health by understanding signals from their own bodies and working consciously to affect change. Generally, biofeedback is used in a clinical setting by licensed health professionals. Because it provides an alternative to drugs for the treatment of stress-induced pain, such as migraines or muscle spasms, it works well in a natural medicine setting.

What biofeedback degrees or certificates are available?

Certification for healthcare professionals is available. To qualify for training, trainees must have a bachelor's degree or higher from a regionally-accredited academic institution in a healthcare field. Qualifying programs include: physical therapy, Western, allopathic medicine, exercise physiology, dentistry, nursing, respiratory therapy, occupational therapy, psychology, social work, counseling, rehabilitation , chiropractic, dental hygiene, and more.

How to go about a career in Biofeedback therapy?

First take a training seminar and know how to work biofeedback machines, how to use the electrodes and how to teach people to relax. There are many resources available that offer training seminars, and you can select any one of them.

Next consider getting qualified or certified as a biofeedback therapist/practitioner. Though it comes in alternative healthcare careers and certification as such is not required in any state, it is very highly recommended for a good practice. One such institute is Biofeedback Certification Institute of America (BCIA) that offers various certifications. Certification includes taking a training seminar, passing a test, completing contact hours with a BCIA approved mentor and paying certification fees.

The next step is to get a license or credentials to practice in a health care field, depending on the state you live in. First start working under supervision of a health care practitioner and then go ahead on becoming a licensed therapist or practitioner. As earlier discussed, you need to have some exposure to human sciences and therefore consider taking anatomy, human physiology and counseling classes.

Blockage of superior mesenteric artery what happens to marginal artery supplying intestines?

The marginal artery of the colon, also known as the marginal artery of Drummond and artery of Drummond (named after Sir David Drummond (1852-1932) an English physician), is a blood vessel that anastomoses (connects) the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) with the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). It is sometimes absent, as an anatomical variant.

Cast syndrome, clinically known as superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS), is gastric dilatation with partial or complete obstruction of the duodenum. It is most frequently seen in orthopaedic patients who have had spinal surgery or who are in hip spica or body casts. Obstruction occurs when there is compression of the duodenum between the superior mesenteric artery anteriorly and the aorta and spinal column posteriorly. Obstruction can occur within days of surgery or casting or may not develop for several weeks. The colon though is supplied by marginal artery still shows ischemic effects.

 Treatment for SMAS varies from conservative nonoperative to operative procedures. Complications can be severe if symptoms are not quickly recognized and treatment instituted in a timely manner.

Blood type indicator career?

The blood type theory of personality is a popular belief in Japan that a person's ABO blood type is predictive of their personality, temperament, and compatibility with others, similar to the Western world's astrology. This belief has carried over to some extent in other parts of East Asia such as South Korea and Taiwan. This theory is completely dismissed by many scientists as superstition or pseudoscience.

Blood type theory is widely popular in women's magazines as a way to gauge relationship compatibility with a potential or current partner. Morning television shows feature blood type horoscopes, and similar horoscopes are published daily in newspapers. Though there is not a proven correlation between blood type and personality, it has still remained in the many matchmaking services that cater to blood type. In this way, it is similar to the use of astrological signs in the west, which is also popular in Japan. Asking about a blood type is common and it is often a surprise if a foreigner is unaware of their own blood type.

Careerstep is it useful?

I'm currently taking the course. One can work at their own pace and if some one has problems in certain areas they can work on the subject matter as many times as they need to master the information. There is a lot a subject material that is to be taken down in notes. It is wonderful. I can attest that they are a great school for MT or MC work. I am also enrolled in the Coding program.

There's a lot of information that you learn when you take the course. One needs to purchase extra materials to help with the coursework, especially with the Medical Terminology portion. Purchase a really good set of flashcards. As for anatomy, the pictures are okay but you need to use a good site such as wikipedia.org. That's where

I'm at so far, so other than that, it's a good course and I'm learning far more than I had ever expected.

Does the foreskin attached to penis causes problem in sex?

Usually it causes no problem unless and until you have a lesion or a medical problem. Infact you need it for proper lubrication and exposure of glans during intercourse. Thin white skin-like layer formed between my foreskin and penis. It is probably connective tissue that allows your foreskin to retract over the top of your penis when you become sexually aroused. If this layer of skin is not there, it may be difficult for this to occur.

The foreskin cannot be retracted. Do I need to be circumcised?

A boy’s foreskin is naturally stuck to the head of the penis. As one gets older, the foreskin separates and can more easily be pulled back from the tip of the penis. The age at which the foreskin becomes retractable differs for each child but usually around 2 to 6 years. Sometimes this may not occur till puberty and it is normal. However, if there is a problem such as infection, swelling, pain or retracted foreskin, you need to visit the doctor for proper treatment.

 How does the diaphragm work?

The thoracic diaphragm is a sheet of muscle extending across the bottom of the ribcage. The diaphragm separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity and performs an important function in respiration. The Diaphragm is a dome-shaped musculofibrous septum which separates the thoracic from the abdominal cavity, its convex upper surface forming the floor of the former, and its concave under surface the roof of the latter. Its peripheral part consists of muscular fibers which take origin from the circumference of the thoracic outlet and converge to be inserted into a central tendon.

A diaphragm can refer to other flat structures such as the urogenital diaphragm or pelvic diaphragm, but "the diaphragm" generally refers to the thoracic diaphragm. Other vertebrates such as amphibians and reptiles have diaphragms or diaphragm-like structures, but important details of the anatomy vary, such as the position of lungs in the abdominal cavity.

The diaphragm is a cervical barrier type of birth control. It is a soft latex or silicone dome with a spring molded into the rim. The spring creates a seal against the walls of the vagina. Anyone inserting or removing a diaphragm should first wash their hands, to avoid introducing harmful bacteria into the vaginal canal.

How long after drinking can alcohol-induced pancreatitis happen?

In alcohol induced pancreatitis symptoms usually begin 6-12 hours after an episode of binge drinking. Gall stones should be suspected in patients over 50 years of age (especially women), those who do not drink alcohol, and when the attack begins after a large meal. In patients with an alcohol history and proved gall stones it can be difficult to distinguish between the two causes. A serum alanine transaminase activity greater than three times above normal usually indicates that gall stones are the cause.

Acute pancreatitis is relatively common. In more than 80% of patients the disease is associated with alcohol or gall stones. Patients usually have pain in the epigastrium that typically radiates through to the back. It is often associated with nausea and vomiting.

How often to check ca19-9 or CEA cholangiocarcinoma annual

Cholangiocarcinoma is a cancer of the bile ducts, which drain bile from the liver into the small intestine. It is a relatively rare cancer. There are no specific blood tests that can diagnose cholangiocarcinoma by themselves. Serum levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and CA19-9 are often elevated, but are not sensitive or specific enough to be used as a general screening tool. However, they may be useful in conjunction with imaging methods in supporting a suspected diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma.

CEA measurement is mainly used as a tumor marker to identify recurrences after surgical resection. Elevated CEA levels should return to normal after surgical resection, as elevation of CEA during follow up is an indicator of recurrence of tumor. CA 19-9 is a useful adjunct in the diagnosis of cholangiocarcinomas without primary sclerosing cholangitis, especially in the diagnosis of peripheral cholangiocarcinomas. However, it does not provide a reliable guide for the pathological staging of these tumors.

What is the condition in humans where the ribcage and the intercostal muscles are fused together abnormally?

Mostly such abnormality is due to defects in embryogenesis or mutations in Pax3 gene. The PAX3 gene belongs to a family of genes that plays a critical role in the formation of tissues and organs during embryonic development and for normal function of certain cells after birth. PAX proteins are also called transcription factors as they regulate. During embryonic development, the PAX3 gene is active in cells called neural crest cells. These cells migrate from the developing spinal cord to specific regions in the embryo. The protein made by the PAX3 gene directs the activity of other genes that signal neural crest cells to form specialized tissues or cell types such as limb muscles, bones in the face and skull, some nerve tissue, and pigment-producing cells called melanocytes.

Any mutation in this gene can result in wide variety of defects, one of which is Waardenburg syndrome. Others are craniofacial-deafness-hand syndrome and also related to development of cancers.
