Urologist Philip Stricker says the new laser technology bores a hole through the prostate, without any bleeding.

Assessment & Evaluation
From: NewsTrove.com
"Assessment and evaluation
The symptoms of ulnar nerve compression in the two syndromes are similar even though the pathologies occur in different locations. Clients usually report pain, numbness and/or paresthesia in the ulnar nerve distribution of the hand (see hand illustration). It is important to isolate the sensory symptoms to the ulnar nerve distribution because many people assume they have carpal tunnel syndrome with neurological symptoms in the hand. Weakness in muscles supplied by the ulnar nerve may also occur in both conditions."
Nick Lowe's Weblog

"Yesterday, I had the pleasure of meeting Ken Brodlie from The Univerisity of Leeds. He visited ViSLAB and the school for a while before giving a presentation on Collaborative Visualisation at NICTA. It was interesting to see that much of our work is strongly related. I also think that presenting Palladium was a good experience for John and Jock. Overall, I've come away with a whole bunch of ideas on how to improve ViSLAB and where to best focus research."
Is energy work an effective component of your massage sessions? Why, or why not?
From: NewsTrove.com
"We Asked: Is energy work an effective component of your massage sessions? Why, or why not?
Here is what you told us.
Any touch creates energy. I find I can work deep into my clients after doing a small amount of energy work on the area in question, without causing any pain. I always start my massage out with energy work on the head and face of my clients. It seems to put them in a much calmer state and allows them to get ready for your touch. I have been practicing for 17 years, and my massage is totally integrated with energy work."
