Objective: The prevalence of sport-related concussion (SRC) is high and results in a number of serious health consequences. One area that has received minimal research is the relationship between SRC and sleep. The literature shows that sleep deficiency is a frequent negative consequence of SRC. At the same time, sleep deficiency delays recovery from SRC and contributes added risk of symptom recurrence. A 2014 study of chronic pain patients who leed to apply the complementary and altative medicine intervention hand self-shiatsu (HSS) had promising, sleep-promoting results that warrant further inves-tigation with other populations. This proof-of-concept study explored the feasibility of HSS as an inter-vention to promote sleep onset and continuity for young adults with SRC. Methods: This study employed a prospective case-series design, where participants act as their own con-trols. Baseline and follow-up data included standardized self-reported assessment tools and sleep actig-raphy. Results: Seven athletes, aged between 18 and 25 years, participated in the study. Although statistically significant improvement in actigraphy sleep scores between baseline and follow-up was not achieved, metrics for sleep quality and daytime fatigue showed significant improvement. Conclusion: These findings support the hypothesis that HSS has the potential to improve sleep and reduce daytime fatigue in young postconcussion athletes. This pilot study provides guidance to refine research protocols and lays a foundation for further, large-sample, controlled studies.

腋臭,又称狐臭,是一种局限性的臭汗症,有特殊的刺鼻气味。现代医学研究发现,腋臭具有一定的生理功能,人们大可不必和腋臭过不去。  新近研究资料表明,腋臭是人类的一种外激素,可调节人的情绪、行为和妇女生殖系统的功能。美国费城的科研人员,经过八年研究发现,女性若长期嗅闻男性分泌的腋臭味,能使其月经周期正常。一个女性嗅闻另一个女性分泌出的腋臭气达三月之久,其月经周期能与那个腋臭者同步。实验证明,男性的腋臭
