The Tai Xuan Jing (T’ai Hsuan Ching) or Classic of the Great Mystery, although attributed to Chinese writers and preserved in China for two thousand years, probably originated in Vedic India. The Tai Xuan Jing pertains to the dynamic Raja form of 9 x 9 matter, which is a fundamental aspect of Vedic Physics. This paper argues for Vedic origins of the Tai Xuan Jing and provides supporting materia...

Effect of Tai Chi exercise on the level of DNA damage using the comet assay, lymphocyte viability and frequency of sister chromatid exchange (SCE) were determined in adults aged above 45. Tai Chi participants of 7 years (n=35), showed higher level of normal DNA and lower level of mild and severely damaged DNA as compared to the sedentary subjects (n=35). The former are suggested to have effecti...

The complexes [Ru(Tai)Cl{=C(H)Ph}(PCy(3))] (4) and [Ru((Ph)Bai)Cl{=C(H)Ph}(PCy(3))] (5) [where Tai = HB(7-azaindolyl)(3) and (Ph)Bai = Ph(H)B(7-azaindolyl)(2)] have been prepared and structurally characterised. The borohydride unit is located in the coordination site trans to the chloride ligand in both complexes. The degree of interaction between the borohydride group and the metal centre was ...

OBJECTIVES To determine the effectiveness of tai chi interventions compared with aerobic exercise, a current core standard treatment in patients with fibromyalgia, and to test whether the effectiveness of tai chi depends on its dosage or duration. DESIGN Prospective, randomized, 52 week, single blind comparative effectiveness trial. SETTING Urban tertiary care academic hospital in the Unite...

Traumatic axonal injury (TAI) is the most common and important pathology of traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, little is known about potential indirect effects of TAI on dendrites. In this study, we used a well-established in vitro model of axonal stretch injury to investigate TAI-induced changes in dendrite morphology. Axons bridging two separated rat cortical neuron populations plated on ...

Descending stairs demands attention and neuromuscular control, especially with dual-tasking. Studies have demonstrated that stroke often degrades a survivor's ability to descend stairs. Tai Chi has been shown to improve dual-tasking performance of healthy older adults, but no such study has been conducted in stroke survivors. This study investigated the effect of Tai Chi training on dual-taskin...
