Intussesception
Proximal portion of bowel invaginates into the distal portion, dragging the mesentery with it.
most common site is the junction of the ileum and colon
Incidence is seasonal Usually occurs before 24 months of age Air or barium enema initial treatment
Tum-mo Yoga
Definitions
Biofeedback: technique that involves use of scientific equipment to measure and relay information about physiological processes
Goal is to help patients become aware of their ability to control physiologic changes so they can continue to do so without the biofeedback equipment (Culbert et al, 1996)
Applications of Biofeedback
Theta
Alpha Beta Gamma
Kraft, 2006
Strengthened SMRs correlated with decreased seizures in human epileptics (Egner and Gruzelier, 2004)
Thalamic inhibitory mechanism
Attention-deficit Disorder
SMR
Theta
Children with ADHD have reduced levels of higher-frequency waves, especially in prefrontal cortex How do we train children to enhance the higher-frequency waves?
Video Games!
The planes motion reflects the childs brain signals
Negative (blue) deflection flies plane upward. Positive (red) deflection flies plane downward.
