columna vertebral, un método natural de manejo y prevención del dolor. Los discos entre los huesos de la columna son bastante blandos y la gravedad los comprime naturalmente a lo largo de los años. Es una de las razones por las que a menudo perdemos altura a medida que envejecemos. Los discos se hacen más pequeños y se comprimen más con el tiempo, incluso pueden hacer filtrar e irritar los nervios circundantes. Descomprimir la columna al acostarse o colgarse boca abajo permite que los discos se expandan. También reduce la presión nerviosa y permite que la columna se realinee. Se sabe que el padre de la medicina, Hipócrates, inventó una forma de inversión alrededor del año 400 AC para sus pacientes mediante el uso de un sistema de escaleras y cuerdas para aliviar la presión sobre sus espinas.

By Alan Radley. 1993
In recent years the study of illness as experienced by patients has emerged as an approach to understanding sickness. Descriptions…
of the everyday situations of people with particular diseases, provide a commentary upon the nature of symptoms and upon the relation of the body to society. This approach stresses the biographical and cultural contexts in which illness arises and is borne by individuals and those who care for them. It emphasises the need to understand illness in terms of the patients own interpretation, of its onset, the course of its progress and the potential of the treatment for the condition. Worlds of Illness examines people's experience of illness and their understanding of what it means to be healthy. The contributors are the first to offer this biographic and cultural approach in one volume, redefining the perspective further and drawing attention to its potential for questioning theoretical assumptions about health and illness.Social Policy Towards 2000: Squaring the Welfare Circle

and how they are being applied to human neurodevelopmental disorders. With the establishment of effective technologies to produce iPSCs and their derivatives, like neural precursors, neurons, and glia, researchers have new platforms to study neurodevelopmental disorders. iPSC technology enables researchers to study how human neurons develop in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders, providing an unparalleled opportunity to investigate their etiology. In turn, researchers have now begun to understand the underlying molecular and cellular pathways that contribute to human diseases. iPSCs technologies also provide an emerging tool for future translational studies and disease classification. The chapters will emphasize how among the diverse idiopathic and genetic disorders, there are common clinical as well as cellular and molecular phenotypes.Prisons After Woolf: Reform through Riot
