Mirror therapy (MT) or mirror visual feedback (MVF) is a therapy for pain or disability that affects one side of the patient more than the other side. It was invented by Vilayanur S. Ramachandran to treat post-amputation patients who had phantom limb pain (PLP).
The diagram first appeared in Imagery and Visual Expression in Therapy by Vija B. Lusebrink (1990). [1] The Expressive Therapies Continuum (ETC) is a model of creative functioning [2] used in the field of art therapy that is applicable to creative processes both within and outside of an expressive therapeutic setting.

Instruction on how to properly attach and use needles is the responsibility of the doctor or pharmacist to ensure proper use. [ 2 ] [ 7 ] Today, pen needles are manufactured at shorter needle lengths than required for typical vial and syringe administration, which decreases the pain associated with injection. [ 2 ]
The MasSpec Pen is a mass spectrometry (MS) based cancer detection and diagnosis system that can be used for ex vivo [1] and in vivo [2] tissue sample analysis. The system collects biological molecules from a tissue sample surface via a solid-liquid extraction mechanism and transports the molecules to a mass spectrometer for analysis.
A transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS or TNS) is a device that produces mild electric current to stimulate the nerves for therapeutic purposes.TENS, by definition, covers the complete range of transcutaneously applied currents used for nerve excitation, but the term is often used with a more restrictive intent, namely, to describe the kind of pulses produced by portable ...
The beta hairpin (sometimes also called beta-ribbon or beta-beta unit) is a simple protein structural motif involving two beta strands that look like a hairpin. The motif consists of two strands that are adjacent in primary structure , oriented in an antiparallel direction (the N-terminus of one sheet is adjacent to the C-terminus of the next ...
Ribbon diagrams, also known as Richardson diagrams, are 3D schematic representations of protein structure and are one of the most common methods of protein depiction used today. The ribbon depicts the general course and organisation of the protein backbone in 3D and serves as a visual framework for hanging details of the entire atomic structure ...
Zinc fingers were first identified in a study of transcription in the African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis in the laboratory of Aaron Klug.A study of the transcription of a particular RNA sequence revealed that the binding strength of a small transcription factor (transcription factor IIIA; TFIIIA) was due to the presence of zinc-coordinating finger-like structures.
