Title
How Does Vibration Reduce Pain?
Description
Cutaneous vibration is able to reduce both clinical and experimental pain, an effect called vibratory analgesia. The traditional explanation for this phenomenon is that it is mediated by lateral inhibition at the segmental (spinal cord) level, in pain-coding cells with center-surround receptive f...

Title
Possible Mechanisms for the Effects of Sound Vibration on Human Health
Description
: This paper presents a narrative review of research literature to “map the landscape” of the
mechanisms of the effect of sound vibration on humans including the physiological, neurological,
and biochemical. It begins by narrowing music to sound and sound to vibration. The focus is on low
freq...

Title
Lung flute improves symptoms and health status in COPD with chronic bronchitis: A 26 week randomized controlled trial
Description
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by mucus hypersecretion that
contributes to disease related morbidity and is associated with increased mortality. The Lung Flute® is a new
respiratory device that produces a low frequency acoustic wave with moderately vigorous exhala...

Mathematical Model of Sound Absorption by Lungs with Acoustic Stimulation of the Respiratory System
Description
According to the results of theoretical and experimental analysis of the characteristics of the propagation of acoustic vibrations in the respiratory system, it is necessary to determine the resonant frequency of the respiratory tract to increase the vital capacity of the lungs by opening reserve...

Title
Assessment of nasal and sinus nitric oxide output using single-breath humming exhalations
Description
Nasal nitric oxide (NO) levels increase greatly during humming compared to silent exhalation. In this study, the physiological and anatomical factors that regulate NO release during humming have been characterised in 10 healthy subjects and in a model of the sinus and the nose. Single-breath humm...

Title
Humming greatly increases nasal nitric oxide
Description
The paranasal sinuses are major producers of nitric oxide (NO). We hypothesized that oscillating airflow produced by humming would enhance sinus ventilation and thereby increase nasal NO levels. Ten healthy subjects took part in the study. Nasal NO was measured with a chemiluminescence technique ...

Title
Exploring Vascular Benefits of Endothelium-Derived Nitric Oxide
Description
Although the regulation of arterial blood flow has been a subject of intensive medical research, the precise circulatory mechanisms involved are still not fully understood. It has been increasingly recognized that the endothelium plays a vital role in regulating vascular tone, structure, and func...

Title
The impact of music therapy versus music medicine on psychological outcomes and pain in cancer patients: a mixed methods study
Description
The purpose of this study was to compare the impact of music therapy (MT) versus music medicine (MM) interventions on psychological outcomes and pain in cancer patients and to enhance understanding of patients’ experiences of these two types of music interventions.
This study employed a mixed ...

Title
Far infrared radiation (FIR): its biological effects and medical applications
Description
Far infrared (FIR) radiation (λ = 3–100 μm) is a subdivision of the electromagnetic spectrum that
has been investigated for biological effects. The goal of this review is to cover the use of a further
sub-division (3– 12 μm) of this waveband, that has been observed in both in vitro and in vivo

Title
The biofield hypothesis: its biophysical basis and role in medicine
Description
This paper provides a scientific foundation for the biofield: the complex, extremely weak electromagnetic field of the organism hypothesized to involve electromagnetic bioinformation for regulating homeodynamics. The biofield is a useful construct consistent with bioelectromagnetics and the physi...

Title
When microbial conversations get physical
Description
It is widely accepted that microorganisms are social beings. Whereas communication via chemical
signals (e.g. quorum sensing) has been the focus of most investigations, the use of physical signals
for microbial cell-cell communication has received only limited attention. Here, I argue that
phy...

Title
Intertrial auditory neural stability supports beat synchronization in preschoolers
Description
The ability to synchronize motor movements along with an auditory beat places stringent demands on the temporal processing and sensorimotor integration capabilities of the nervous system. Links between millisecond-level precision of auditory processing and the consistency of sensorimotor beat syn...
