INSERT TITLE AND WORD COUNT In the last century‚ there have been a number of discoveries regarding the treatment of human disease and genetic conditions. The current on-going research is in the field of gene therapy‚ an experimental technique that uses genes to treat and replace the defective genes of an affected person. Instead of treating disease symptoms‚ this has the potential to correct the underlying cause (1). Besides its high costs and ethical concerns (therapy involving germ line treatment)

Therapeutic Ultrasound – How Effective Is It in Overuse Running Injuries Therapeutic ultrasound (US) is a process similar to conventional ultrasound‚ in terms of its basic functionality. During a non-therapeutic US‚ a device emits and receives inaudible sound waves (usually in the range of 700‚000 to 3‚300‚000 Hz‚ or oscillations per second). These waves usually produce an image on-screen for a radiologist in order to determine internal body organs and functionality status; however‚ in therapeutic

weeks after the injection was made‚ a cranial opening was made near the paramedian lobule and a coverslip was created right on top of the dura and the surgical cyanoacrylate. The researchers waited at least two weeks for the mice to recover‚ and an in vivo two-photon microscopy was performed by using a laser-scanning confocal microscope and external‚ non-descanned photomultiplier tubes. The parallel fibers were identified in raw z-stacks‚ and their changes in time were recorded. The size of appearance
