Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Presenting Similar to A Myocardial Infarction: A Case Study
(2019-03-05)Background: Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a disease of chronic pain often times arising after an initial triggering event (i.e., surgery, trauma, stroke etc.) that is refractory to normal pain management. CRPS ... -
Conceptualizing Stress as a Mediator of Lung Microbiota’s Influence on Respiratory Health
(2019-03-05)Purpose: Stress responses have been shown to alter the microbial ecosystem along the respiratory tract affecting the elimination and migration of microbes. However, to date little is known about the mechanisms through which ... -
