“搓滚舒筋”练功疗法

“搓滚舒筋”练功疗法,是一种以竹筒为简易器械的脚底搓滚练功治疗“筋挛缩”症的方法。最早文献见于马王堆汉墓出土的帛书《五十二病方》,起码有两干多年的渊源。骨伤科常用之,内、外诸科亦有用之。这一传统疗法,筒、便、廉、验,值得弘扬。     

Carcinoma arising from an epiphrenic diverticulum: a frequently misdiagnosed disease.

Epiphrenic diverticulum is rare, comprising of about 10% of all esophageal diverticula. Carcinoma arising within such a diverticulum is even less common. We report on two patients with squamous cell carcinoma arising from an epiphrenic diverticulum. Some features of malignant change related to the epiphrenic diverticula were misdiagnosed or missed in our cases and other reports due to lack of clinical experience. It is important to exclude the possibility of malignancy as this is vital for surgical planning. Although the prognosis for patients with malignancy arising from an epiphrenic diverticulum is generally poor, a high index of suspicion may increase the chance of cure.
