The following is a very interesting systematic review and meta-analysis article written by a group of neurosurgeons: They concluded that "there is no convincing evidence to support a causal link, and unfounded belief in causation may have dire consequences."

It is with deep sadness I wish to inform all of Shaun Cashman's passing. He was a research clinician who was studying the relationship between body temperature findings and trapezius fibre relationships. He had recently had his research accepted at the 2016 ACC RAC Conferences which related to interexaminer and intraexaminer reliability of trapezius fibre diganosis.
