  2. Saprotrophic nutrition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saprotrophic_nutrition

    Saprotrophic nutrition / s æ p r ə ˈ t r ɒ f ɪ k,-p r oʊ-/ [1] or lysotrophic nutrition [2] [3] is a process of chemoheterotrophic extracellular digestion involved in the processing of decayed (dead or waste) organic matter.

  3. Saprotrophic bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saprotrophic_bacteria

    All saprotrophic bacteria are unicellular prokaryotes, and reproduce asexually through binary fission. [2] Variation in the turnover times (the rate at which a nutrient is depleted and replaced in a particular nutrient pool) of the bacteria may be due in part to variation in environmental factors including temperature, soil moisture, soil pH, substrate type and concentration, plant genotype ...

  4. Saprophytes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saprophytes

    Saprophyte may refer to: Saprotrophs ; organisms, particularly fungi, which obtain nutrients directly from dead organic matter or wastes Myco-heterotrophs ; plants, fungi, or micro-organisms that live on dead or decomposing matter and parasitize fungi, rather than dead organic matter directly.

  5. Dry needling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_needling

    There is a high degree of correspondence between published locations of trigger points and classical acupuncture points for the relief of pain. [17] Dry needling, and its treatment techniques and desired effects, would be most directly comparable to the use of 'a-shi' points in acupuncture. [ 18 ]

  6. Heterotroph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterotroph

    Saprotrophs (also called lysotrophs) are chemoheterotrophs that use extracellular digestion in processing decayed organic matter. The process is most often facilitated through the active transport of such materials through endocytosis within the internal mycelium and its constituent hyphae .

  7. Pain management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pain_management

    Pain management often uses a multidisciplinary approach for easing the suffering and improving the quality of life of anyone experiencing pain, [2] whether acute pain or chronic pain. Relief of pain in general (analgesia) is often an acute affair, whereas managing chronic pain requires additional dimensions.

  8. Myofascial trigger point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myofascial_trigger_point

    Activation of trigger points may be caused by a number of factors, including acute or chronic muscle overload, activation by other trigger points (key/satellite, primary/secondary), disease, psychological distress (via systemic inflammation), homeostatic imbalances, direct trauma to the region, collision trauma (such as a car crash which stresses many muscles and causes instant trigger points ...

  9. Anti-inflammatory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-inflammatory

    Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) alleviate pain by counteracting the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme. [1] On its own, COX enzyme synthesizes prostaglandins, creating inflammation. In whole, the NSAIDs prevent the prostaglandins from ever being synthesized, reducing or eliminating the inflammation and resulting pain. [citation needed]
