Anodyne therapy is a type of light therapy that is used to help relieve the symptoms of pain, stiffness, muscle spasms, and circulation irregularities. This form of treatment is usually given in addition to physical therapy. It works by relieving pain and/or increasing circulation in the area where the patient is experiencing pain. Anodyne therapy is marketed and sold by Spectropad Systems, which manufactures the device that administers the therapy. The scientific term for Anodyne therapy is monochromatic infrared photo energy (MIRE). MIRE is the type of energy that is used in this form of therapy.
Light therapy, also known as phototherapy, is the use of a specialized machine to emit only a specific wavelength of the light spectrum via lasers, LEDs, fluorescent lamps, dichroic lamps, or very bright, full-spectrum light, for a prescribed amount of time. Each wavelength in the light spectrum is said to possess specific qualities. Generally, the affected body part is exposed in light therapy. Advocates claim that each wavelength may coincide with beneficial symptom relief of a particular medical condition. Light therapy machines are able to offer more of a particularly useful wavelength than would be available by exposure to direct sunlight.
According to the American Physical Therapy Association, the goal of physical therapy or physiotherapy is to improve mobility, restore function, reduce pain, and prevent further injury by using a variety of methods, including exercises, stretches, traction, electrical stimulation, and massage. Physical therapy (PT) is commonly used for musculoskeletal injuries, joint pain or disorders, low back pain, cerebral palsy, and rehabilitation after injury or surgery, including heart surgery or mastectomy. Various types of physical therapy address specific problems. Musculoskeletal physical therapy uses massage and joint movement to increase strength, motor control, and flexibility. Cardiopulmonary physical therapy treats lung and heart conditions, such as cerebral palsy, asthma, and post-heart attack rehabilitation, by clearing the lungs of mucus, ventilating the lungs to ease breathing, or exercising to increase a patient's ability to move. Neurological physical therapy works to restore balance, coordination, and motor function through repeated exercises for patients with spinal injury, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and other brain and nerve disorders. Integumentary physical therapy uses wound cleaning, scar prevention, and scar reduction to help patients with wounds, burns, and other skin-related problems.
Anodyne therapy comes from the word anodyne, meaning a medical treatment that soothes or relieves pain. Anodyne therapy was first used in 1994.
All forms of Anodyne therapy use infrared light. Pads that emit the light are applied to the surface of the skin. At times, Anodyne therapy will resolve symptoms in one or only a few sessions. For other individuals, however, ongoing Anodyne therapy may be necessary to experience relief from symptoms. Anodyne therapy may help a patient cope with the symptoms of their medical condition because the pain relief and increased circulation provided by the near infrared light may aid in improving a patient's balance, range of motion, endurance, strength, and flexibility.
Eleven clinical trials have been conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Anodyne therapy for several different medical conditions. Though the results of these studies appear promising, larger studies need to be conducted before a firm conclusion can be drawn.
As a relatively inexpensive treatment, Anodyne therapy is gaining popularity in the United States. Some health insurances reimburse patients for near MIRE. Anodyne therapy is now being investigated for a number of uses, including diabetic neuropathy (deterioration of the spinal cord and its nerves due to diabetes).
Theory / Evidence
A 2006 article by Harkless et al. reviewed the medical records of 2,239 patients who experienced neuropathic (nerve-related) pain and/or loss of sensation in the foot. The authors of the study concluded that the treatment significantly reduced pain and improved sensation in most patients, though a statistical analysis was not provided.
A 2004 study by Leonard et al. evaluated monochromatic near-infrared treatment for symptomatic relief in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Measures of treatment success included improved balance, reduced pain, and the restoration of sensation. Patients showed a statistically significant improvement in restoration of sensation, foot sensitivity, and pain. However, not all measured parameters showed statistically significant results.

Anodyne therapy is intended for individuals who participate in a regular physical therapy or occupational therapy program because it augments the more conventional treatment. Usually, the person who performs Anodyne therapy does not also provide physical therapy. However, certification is not necessary to perform the therapy.
Patients generally learn about Anodyne therapy if a healthcare provider believes that the treatment may aid in the improvement or management of symptoms. However, individuals may also investigate providers of this service at the Anodyne therapy web page. The manufacturer of the Anodyne therapy devices stresses that a treatment plan should only be given by a certified healthcare practitioner, such as a physical therapist, nurse, or doctor.
Before the first Anodyne treatment, the healthcare provider interviews the patient. The patient tells the provider about the onset and duration of symptoms and personal goals for recovery. The provider and patient also discuss the intensity of pain, as well as the patient's physical or occupational therapy. The provider then creates a treatment plan, which details the expectations of the frequency and duration of Anodyne therapy that may help the patient; generally, patients who choose this modality also participate in regular physical or occupational therapy.
Generally, the practitioner recommends that a patient receives three 30 minute sessions of Anodyne therapy per week for at least four weeks.
Most Anodyne therapy sessions last 30 to 45 minutes. In the office of a healthcare provider, the treatment is delivered by eight rectangular pads that are part of the Professional System.
During treatment in an office, the patient generally sits still while the practitioner applies some or all of the eight available pads. Some individuals experience a feeling of warmth during the treatment. However, some patients may feel a tingling sensation or a small amount of discomfort. These symptoms generally disappear after a few minutes of the treatment. However, the patient should always communicate their comfort level with the practitioner so that the treatment may be adjusted if necessary.
If this modality is appropriate, most people experience relief between the first and sixth treatment. It is possible for some patients to experience relief from symptoms after the first treatment of Anodyne therapy. However, some patients may need to attend up to 12 treatments before pain improves and circulation increases. Ultimately, most healthcare practitioners believe that if a patient does not experience relief within 12 treatments, then near infrared therapy may not help the particular patient. However, some patients, such as those with chronic pain disorders, may require ongoing treatment.
Patients may receive Anodyne therapy a maximum of three times daily. In these instances, the intensity of infrared light delivered to the patient's skin and the length of each session may decrease.
Most individuals receive Anodyne therapy at a healthcare provider's office. However, some individuals may receive this type of treatment at home. Some home healthcare providers give Anodyne therapy; in addition, the manufacturer of these machine sells devices designed for at home use by patients.
Anodyne therapy is available through several different machine models. The Model 480 is designed for use by physical therapists and doctors. The light is delivered at a wavelength of 890 nanometers, and has a 60 infrared diodes per therapy array. The pulsed energy is delivered at 292 times per second. The energy output is adjustable up to 780mw per therapy array. The system is available in four or eight pads. The Model 120 is designed for patient and nurse use. It is identical to the Model 480, except that it features a preset energy setting at 600mw per therapy array to prevent inadvertent burning. Home systems come with a soft shoe, which fits on the foot or may be held to apply to other areas. The Spectropad System Anodyne therapy product has received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for temporarily increasing blood circulation as well as reducing stiffness, muscle spasm, and pain.
Practitioners claim that Anodyne therapy is most effective when used at the same time as physical or occupational therapy. In addition to attending all appointments for this modality, patients are encouraged to also attend all other therapy sessions. The frequency of treatment is thought to be an important factor in a successful outcome. Patients are also encouraged to perform all assigned physical therapy exercises to maximize the benefit of treatment.

Commercial Description: Unavailable
Beer Advocate: A- (4.17)
Rate Beer: 98 (3.92)
Timperial's Notes:
My mother lives in Bend, OR. Periodically, I visit. When I do, you better believe that I'm going to makes stops at Deschutes, Cascade Lakes and Bend Brewing. Ever since I learned that Hop Head won a bronze metal at the 2008 GABF, I knew I had to have it. Unfortunately, it's a seasonal for Bend, and every time I've gone there, it has been the wrong season. This year BBC bottled the hoppy wonder, and they still had some left when I was there for Christmas.
This beer fills my pint glass with a very clear, light amber color. In fact, I'd say that it's one of the lightest colored IPAs out there. Though I recently purchased this beer from the brewery, I believe that it's a summer, or at best fall seasonal for them, so I have a slight fear that the lack of freshness could have negative effects tonight.
I did get a slight hiss when the cap was unhinged, but there wasn't much of a head on the pour. There is, however, a respectable rising of bubbles from the depths. What head is produced on the pour quickly dwindles to a ring and faint wisps, but lacing is evident as I drink.
The nose is fairly subtle in volume but with effort, an intensely pungent odor is detected. There is an earthy, almost skunky nature to it, but that seems to come in waves, where the receding tides allow for a citrusy aroma to bloom. Tangerine and grapefruit rind stake claim, and a balancing effect is noted with a buried and exhumed malty sweetness. As the beer warms it's as though our seemingly endless paddling has finally propelled us beyond the breakers, and a much-needed calm inundates the scene.
Here we find a melding of seas, or, as it were, scents. At this point I'd say that the grapefruit dominates and that carries enough earthiness with it to legitimize earlier notions. The malt side is not playing a major role and only really imparts a sugar-coating on top of the hop flavors. I guess, with that being said, age is more likely than not… not an issue here.
The mouthfeel is nice with this one. The carbonation is appropriate and the viscosity is within the range that I expect. It goes down easy and lingers for just the right amount of time.
Unlike the nose, the flavor is better at colder temperatures. The bitterness seems more subdued, as does the maltiness. Pine flavors were most prevalent to me, which played as a pleasant contrast to the fruity nose. At warmer temperatures the bitterness becomes overwhelming. The flavors shift more toward earthy presenting an almost wood like experience. It becomes more like chewing on grapefruit peel than simply enjoying the zest's essence. Yes, there is a shit ton of hops in this beer, but I don't know how successful they were blended.
The malts are present early on and accent the experience with powdered sugar dustings, but later, as the beer warms, they become uber-pronounced in their grainy, biscuity nature. I'm not surprised that there isn't much of a caramel or candy-coated element to speak of. The color of the fluid did its part to foreshadow this. I'd much prefer to see some higher lovibond crystal malt in the grain bill. To use the word balanced would be accurate, but for my tastes, this is a bitter bomb with too much of the wrong grains.
The aftertaste is a well blended bitter and malty existence. Thankfully, it's not completely dried out by the IBUs, but they are doing all that they can. It all lingers for quite some time, reminding you that you just sipped down a pretty bold IPA, but the 9% continues to be mostly hidden, even into near ambient temperatures.
This one has its fair share of bumps in the road, but it finishes on a high note, and in the grand scheme of things, I wouldn't mind having it in my corner to represent just how the Northwest rolls when it comes to hop monsters.
Admittedly, I am giving this beer a pretty low score. One important thing that I'd like to state, no matter how obvious it may seem, is that I have a fairly unique take on what makes a stellar IPA. Apperantly, what makes my palate most happy is in stark opposition to what the BJCP says an IPA should be like. I can only assume that because of the award that was given to BBC at GABF. It is always healthy to question the authorities that be, but it's also important to realize that the standards and rules are there for a reason. I guess my point is that I can respect this beer and the brewers deeply, but Hop Head just isn't for me. The question then becomes, is it the one for you?

Yeah, I can appreciate the historical context, but I wouldn't go so far as to concede the source material was influenced by racism. Not sure Stan Lee would agree with that either.
If they made Iron Man purple and green, he wouldnt look right. How about Storm with red hair or Wolverine with a ponytail? Thor with a black haired crew cut? These are iconic characters that shouldnt be messed with just to drive more diversity in the audience.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The "Occupy Boston" branch of the "Occupy Wall St." social movement in the US stormed the Israeli Consulate in Boston on Friday. It was yet another demonstration of the anti-Israel and anti-Semtitic tendencies that many Jews and Israelis fear forms part of the underlying base of the "Occupy" movement.
Previous anti-Semitic outbursts at "Occupy" events have been brushed off by the media and the activists as the actions of a small minority of "crazies." But the march on the Israeli Consulate in Boston was a sanctioned event appearing in the official schedule on the Occupy Boston website.
The group said the march on the consulate was in response to Israel's interception of the latest "humanitarian" flotilla trying to break the maritime blockade of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.
A number of activists managed to break into the lobby of the Israeli Consulate, which was empty of personnel at the time as the Jewish Sabbath had already started.
Publishing up-to-the-minute updates from the scene, Occupy Boston organizer Kade Ellis wrote on her Twitter account, "Not another nickel! Not another dime! No more money for Israel's crimes!"
US Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts issued a statement strongly condemning the march on the Israeli Consulate.
"This group of protesters has a poisonous message which needs to be loudly refuted," said Brown. "It was shocking to hear the protestors chanting anti-Israel slogans in support of the terrorist-backed intifada uprising, which has created so much misery and death in Israel."
The incident was almost completely ignored by the mainstream media.

Dave and Don's, Wanderlust Road Trip 6-03
On May 28th., 03, me and my long time riding partner Don, hit the road, we made it back home on June 20th., 03. We traveled from our homes in Washington State across Idaho, Montana, North Dakota into Nothern Minnesota where we visited family and friends. We then made our way back to Washington via South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. We covered over 4,500 miles traveling on paved back roads and dirt or gravel Forest Service Roads. We also traveled through the Devils Tower area, rode over Bear Tooth Pass and rode over the Hwy. to the Sun in Glacier National Park. We had a great Time, life is good.Read More

Once you've worked at the Museum for several years, you begin to think you're familiar with everything, from the smallest object in the most remote exhibit hall to the most visible – giant dinosaurs. And it's wonderful – objects are like old friends you pass every day in the halls.
So for me, one of the best things about HMNS pool on Flickr is that the amazing photographers who wander our halls are constantly showing me things in a new light. In the case of this month's pick, Hemis-face by KenU Diggit?, I was completely blown away by something in one of our permanent exhibits that (even after almost five years here) I had actually never seen before. From the composition of the photograph to the contrast in the piece itself, this is a stunning image. Here, KenU Diggit? reveals his technique:
During my short time as a photography hobbyist, fresh perspectives, sharp contrasts, and textures affect how I compose every photograph. The process is simple: find something to shoot, try an interesting approach to the subject, and capture the picture when my "gut feeling" says so.
I have an affinity for macro photography; I love to take pictures as close as I can get to the subject. Little details and subtle textures are more easily captured this way. I was drawn to the wisps of hair and the wear upon the mask. The simple black background give the object the full attention of the viewer.
"Closeness" emotes intimacy. This is the reason why I chose to capture just a portion of the mask. The asymmetry adds an edge and a fresh angle of viewing. I also chose to focus on the eye of the mask. Due to this, the slightly blurred foreground of the mouth and brow creates a sense of depth and draws the viewer closer to the object, as if the mask were only inches away from their own face. For a second, one could mistaken this for real human expression than just a simple mask. As you look it, it looks at you. Don't be rude; say "Hello" back.
|Hemis-face by KenU Diggit?
KenU Diggit? shot this in the John P McGovern Hall of the Americas, a permanent exhibit at the Houston Museum of Natural Science that features thousands of years of Native American history – from parkas made from seal intestines by the Inuit in Alaska to amazing feather art of the Amazon. This particular object is a Windmaker mask, circa 1875 – 1900. I hope you'll visit us – and see if you can find it, too.
So, what's this Photo of the Month feature all about? Our science museum is lucky enough to have talented and enthusiastic people who visit us every day – wandering our halls, grounds and satellite facilities, capturing images of the wonders on display here that rival the beauty of the subjects themselves. Thankfully, many share their photos with us and everyone else in our HMNS Flickr group – and we're posting our favorites here, on the Museum's blog, once a month. (You can check out all our previous picks here or here.)
Many thanks to KenU Diggit? for allowing us to share his stunning beautiful photograph. We hope this and all the other amazing photography in our group on Flickr will inspire you to bring a camera along next time you're here – and show us what you see.

This magisterial work makes accessible an enormous wealth of information on the Aramaean peoples of early and late antiquity. It is exhaustive, detailed, copious in its use of footnotes, and extremely well-organized. It promises to be a frequently consulted reference work and invaluable resource for years to come.
One of the most impressive aspects of this tome is its comprehensive use of literary and archaeological sources. To elucidate the world of the Aramaeans Lipíński continually draws upon a vast array of Aramaic, Assyrian, Babylonian, Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and also Arabic textual materials that range in time from early antiquity to the Middle Ages (in some case even to the present day). Where the sources differ on important issues, he is careful to note it, and he always registers notes of methodological caution when the evidence (or lack thereof) necessitates it.
The book opens by discussing the (sometimes conflicting portraits of the) pre-history and proto-history of the Arameans as suggested by the earliest textual references to the term Aram, Aramaean tribal names, and the land of Qir. After supplying this background, Lipínski investigates the etymology for the name Aram. Surveying a number of proposals, he suggests that we consider the name a Semitic broken plural for "wild bull" (i.e., 'aramu). This etymological connection, he opines, may derive from the use of the wild bull as a totem. Such an association, he further suggests, explains the numerous Syro-Hittite images of the storm god Hadad striding atop a wild bull.
an appellation of a people or a tribe implies a totemic social and religious structure, an essential peculiarity of which is the association of groups of persons or clans with groups of animals belonging to the same species and constituting the totem species (p. 52).
The interested reader unfamiliar with the terrain of Semitic linguistics should be warned that such etymological diversions are extremely frequent in the book, and often bear heavily upon the reader, who in many instances would be better served by placing such information in footnotes.1
From here Lipínski moves to a discussion of ancient Israelite knowledge of the Aramaeans as evidenced in the Hebrew Bible. For the most part, this section focuses on various toponyms and onomastica connected with the Aramaeans, especially those found in the patriarchal narratives and genealogical materials. Notable here is Lipínski's attempt to identify the Aramaean cities lying along the caravan routes of the Israelite patriarchs and kings and his effort to establish approximate distances between them based on the speed of camel caravans (e.g., pp. 65–68).
Having established the broader linguistic, literary, and historical framework for the Aramaeans, Lipínski then launches into highly detailed studies of more than a dozen Aramaean tribes, each of which he subdivides into "territory" and "history." The former section provides the topographical and geographical data available for locating the tribe in question; the latter offers an in-depth reconstructed history for that tribe based on the numerous resources mentioned above. These studies constitute separate chapters in the book and include the following entries: Laqe, Nisibis and the Temanites, Gozan or Bet-Bagyan and Balih, Bet-Zammani, Bet-`Adini, Arpad or Bet-Gush, Kittik or Sullul, Sam'al or Yu'addi, Hamath and Lugath, Soba or Bet-Rehob, and Aram Damascus. The chapter on Hamath and Lugath also includes detailed discussions of a number of inscriptions that bear on the topic (e.g., those of Shalmaneser III, Ashurnasirpal II, Adad-ninari III, Tiglath Pileser III, and some hieroglyphic Luwian inscriptions).
Lipínski's next chapter survey's the evidence for Aramaean tribes in Babylonia, by first treating the 11th–9th centuries bce separately. Afterwards, he offers equally exhaustive treatments on the following tribes: Chaldaeans, Tu'manu or Hatallu, Puqudu, 'Utu or 'Itu, Rupu' and Labdudu, Hamaranu and Luhu'atu, Rabbi-'Il, Nasir, Gulus, Nabatu or Nabayatu, Rahiqu, Kapiri, Rummulutu, `Adiliye, Gibriye, `Ubudu, Gurumu, Hindaru, Dunanu, Nilqu, Radiye, 'Ubulu, Karma', Amlatu and Damunu, Ru`a' and Qabi`, Li'itta'u, Marusu, `Ammatu, Haggaranu, Naqri and Taniye, Gambulu, Hallatu, Ya'ash-'Il, Yadaqqu, Malahu, Gurasimmu, Udda, Gurru, `Ubayanat, Dahha, and the Yakimanu. This same chapter includes brief discussions on the relationship between Aramaeans and the peoples of North-Arabia, and on the tribal list of Tiglath Pileser III.
The last third of the book provides a chapter-by-chapter survey of a number of Aramaean cultural topics. Here one can find brief, but well-documented discussions on Nomadism, Royalty, and Dignitaries (Chapter 15); Society and Economy (e.g., agriculture and animal husbandry, forest resources, urban society, luxury goods, metalwork, textiles, trade, labor, and women, Chapter 16); legal traditions and international treaties (Chapter 17); and Aramaean Religion (Chapter 18). The latter chapter includes in-depth discussions on the cult of betyls, ancestral cults, burial practices, and focused treatments on the deities `Attar, 'Il, Resheph, Rutsa, and Hadad,2 as well as the gods of the sun and moon, whose names cannot be established with absolute certainty.
Lipínski's exhaustive work provides the most complete portrait of the Aramaeans to date. Despite its frequent tangential preoccupation with etymology, it conveys well the historical longevity, cultural complexity, and often over-looked diversity that defined the Aramaean peoples. It also establishes with greater precision the geographical boundaries of numerous Aramaean tribes, thus providing historians in a number of related fields, with invaluable data for future research. Moreover, the book is handsomely produced with a number of very useful full-color maps and photos, and contains indices that facilitate its use as a reference work. Recommended highly for all students of the ancient Near East.
[1] I also note that the utility of using etymologies as historical and linguistic tools of hermeneutics has rightly been called into question in recent years.
[2] For a more comprehensive treatment of the evidence for the worship of Hadad among the Aramaeans see now Daniel Schwemer, Wettergottgestalten. Die Wettergottgestalten Mesopotamiens und Nordsyriens im Zeitalter der Keilschriftkulturen: Materialien und Studien nach den schriftlichen Quellen (Wiesbaden: Harrassowitz, 2001). This work obviously appeared too late to be incorporated into Lipínski's book.
