51. Listed here are a few studies and papers by Alvar Pascual-Leone, MD PhD, regarding the nueuroplastic changes
in the brain. The first Link is to an article by Peter Levine, in PT Advance, regarding Pascual-Leone's study and how a subject "sees" with her
fingertips. The second link is to a paper by Pascual-Leone and Hamilton, which covers a wide range of research on related areas of neuroplasticity.
The third and fourth links provide additional background. I a hypothesizing that this information leads us to a better understanding of how we, as
MFR therapists, learn to "see" with our hands.

58. An integral theory of female urinary incontinence. Experimental and clinical considerations. (from the abstract)
"Altered collagen/elastin in the vaginal connective tissue and/or its ligamentous supports may cause laxity. This dissipates the muscle contraction,
causing stress incontinence, and/or activation of an inappropriate micturition reflex, ("bladder instability") by stimulation of bladder base stretch
receptors. The latter is manifested by symptoms of frequency, urgency, nocturia with or without urine loss."

60. Different organization of collagen fibrils in stress-incontinent women of fertile age. "CONCLUSION: Stress urinary
incontinence in fertile women is associated with a change in collagen metabolism resulting in an increased concentration of collagen and larger collagen
fibrils. These alterations should result in a more rigid form of extracellular matrix, suggesting a connective tissue with impaired mechanical function."

incontinence and prolapse. "The results suggest that a high level of decorin mRNA might be associated with the reduced content of collagen
type III, resulting in a less flexible form of extracellular matrix in the connective tissue in SUI and prolapse patients."
