Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of Mulligan spinal mobilization with arm movement along with neurodynamics and manual traction in cervical radiculopathy patients: A randomized controlled trial.
To determine the effect of Mulligan Spinal Mobilisation with Arm Movement along with neurodynamics and manual traction on pain, disablity and cervical range of motion in cervical radiculopathy patients. ⋯ Patients treated with Spinal Mobilisation with Arm Movement along with neurodynamics and manual traction had better outcome compared to those who only got neurodynamics and manual traction.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison between Manual Traction, Manual Opening technique and Combination in Patients with cervical radiculopathy: Randomized Control Trial.
To compare the effects of manual traction, manual intervertebral foramen opening technique and combination of the two techniques in patients with cervical radiculopathy. ⋯ Manual intervertebral foramen opening technique, manual traction, and combination of both techniques were equally effective in decreasing pain, level of disability and improved cervical mobility in patients with cervical radiculopathy.

Case Reports
The crying child; physiological variant on F18-FDG PET-CT in a patient of langerhans cell histiocytosis.
F18-FDG PET-CT (Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Computed Tomography) scanning has a proven role in the staging of various cancers;the physiological distribution of F18-FDG must be understood thoroughly in order to improve the accuracy of image interpretation. We describe the case of a 2 year old child with Langerhans cell histiocytosis, who cried at the time of cannulation before undergoing F18-FDG PET-CT scanning.
