Brane-induced supersymmetry breaking [PDF]
We study spontaneous supersymmetry breaking induced by brane-localized dynamics in five-dimensional supergravity compactified on S^1/Z_2. We consider a model with gravity in the bulk and matter localized on tensionless branes at the orbifold fixed points.

Assessing the Influence of Intermittent Ischemic Compression of Latent Trigger Points on Changes in Range of Lumbar Spine Mobility and Myoelectric Changes in the Erector Spinae Muscle [PDF]
Introduction: Pain in the lumbar spine (L) is a very serious health problem. The appearance of pain in the area of the back muscles with palpable small, sensitive points, may indicate the presence of myofascial trigger points.

Prevalence of Myofascial Trigger Points in Patients with Non-Traumatic Unilateral Shoulder Pain
Background: Shoulder pain is becoming problematic disorder with symptoms of mild to severe pain, restricted ranges and stiffness. Trigger points are knots in muscle fibers that show high response to pressure with symptoms of referred pain. Shoulder pain

Myofascial trigger points in migraine and tension-type headache
Background A myofascial trigger point is defined as a hyperirritable spot in skeletal muscle that is associated with a hypersensitive palpable nodule in a taut band.

Introduction: Increased tension around masticatory muscles can cause pain disorders in facial part of the skull, temporomandibular joint, supra- and infrahyoid area and cervical spine. Unphisiological muscle work bring up Trigger Points (TrPs).

The occurrence and inter-rater reliability of myofascial trigger points in the quadratus lumborum and gluteus medius: A prospective study in non-specific low back pain patients and controls in general practice [PDF]
The presence of a trigger point is essential to the myofascial pain syndrome. This study centres on identifying clearer criteria for the presence of trigger points in the quadratus lumborum and gluteus medius muscle by investigating the occurrence and ...

Flavordynamics with Conformal Matter and Gauge Theories on Compact Hyperbolic Manifolds in Extra Dimensions [PDF]
We outline a toy model in which a unique mechanism may trigger a dynamical chain resulting in key low-energy regularities. The starting points are a negative cosmological term in the bulk and conformally invariant nongravity sector. These elements ensure

Active myofascial trigger points are one of the major peripheral pain generators for regional and generalized musculoskeletal pain conditions. Myofascial trigger points are also the targets for acupuncture and/or dry needling therapies.

Physiotherapeutic treatment in patients with heel spurs
The heel spur is a disorder resulting from biomechanical abnormalities of the foot. The problem affects people of different ages and arises as a result of repeated micro-injuries within the flexor digitorum brevis.
