...keys to B.U.'s success has been its short-handed and power play units. The Terriers have scored on eight of 13 man-advantage situations, while allowing opponents only one goal in 13 power play attempts. B.U. also has a short-handed goal...
...feedback research, told a New York symposium last week. Indeed, actual gains have been modest. Researchers have helped some incontinent patients to gain control of their urination and defecation through biofeedback. Among other researchers, Dr. John Basmajian, a professor of anatomy and rehabilitation medicine at Emory University, reports success in eliminating foot drop - difficulty in raising the foot while walking - though efforts to extend the technique to cerebral palsy victims have failed...
...migraine headaches - have had mixed results. Biofeedback clearly can affect blood pressure. In one experiment, baboons were trained to maintain a large increase in pressure for 40 days.

This record of success far exceeds that of any other surgical team; of the 191 patients round the world known to have undergone transplant operations outside of Stanford, only 18 are still living...
