Beyond sport: what the sport and exercise medicine community can learn from the life of Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Prevalence, Perception and Predictors of Concomitant Herbal Medicine Use among HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis Patients in Metekel Zone, Northwest Ethiopia: A Cross-Sectional Study
CONCLUSION: In the Metekel Zone, concomitant consumption of herbal medication is common among HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis patients.

Does Modern Research Concerning Chinese Medicine Acupoints Relate to Original Prescriptions? If Not, Why Not?
Conclusions: While, superficially, the ZJJYJ might seem irrelevant in modern manual acupuncture practices, well-documented physical effects (e.g., pain relief) of manual acupuncture do provide measurable outcomes for use in fMRI research. Therefore, the classical text does provide a guide for future research on influential acupoints on the leg and body channels. PMID: 30671154 [PubMed]
