| Cheerleading Causes Majority of Female Athlete Injuries | | 2008-08-26 00:24:49 | | (HealthDay News) -- Over the past 25 years, cheerleading accounted for two-thirds of all catastrophic sports injuries experienced by high school and college females in the United States, a much higher proportion than previously thought, a new report says.Cheerleading accounted for 65.1 percent of female high school athlete injuries and for 66.7 percent of female college athlete injuries.It was previously believed that cheerleading accounted for 55 percent of injuries among high school females and 59.4 percent of injuries among college females. But the percentages increased when new data was used for this year's report from the National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury Research, based at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.Center director Frederick O. Mueller, a professor of exercise and sports science who's authored the annual report since it began in 1982, said catastrophic injuries to female athletes have increased over the years."A major factor has been the change i... | | By: DrEddyClinic -project - Complementary and alternat | | |

| Quick Bytes: AFC South Injuries Edition | | 2008-07-07 23:55:32 | | Quick Bytes: The daily digest of everything you need to know about the Jacksonville Jaguars (and other things).
:The Colts offseason of great concern continues. They've been hit hard by the injury bug, and it isn't even August yet.
Strong Safety Bob Sanders and DE Dwight Freeney will probably be starting training camp on the PUP (physically unable to perform) list.Colts LB Tyjuan Hagler also will be on the PUP list after a recent pectoral injury he suffered during strength training.
Hagler was expected to be a starter this season, and his injury stings, however, the more telling story is Dwight Freeney. He still isn't healthy enough to perform, and although all the Colts' are saying he'll be back for the season opener, I have my doubts. One thing is for certain, he won't be the same beast this year.:Joe Jurevicius may need microfracture surgery in addition to his recent June 30th clean up surgery. Matt Jones may be looking a little bit better to the Browns now, s... | | By: Big Cat Country - An Unoffical Jacksonville Jaguar | | |

| | Avoiding Painful Injuries While Exercising | | 2008-06-02 22:38:17 | | Exercise is not only a great way to help burn those excess unwanted calories, it is also a great way to increase your heart muscles, improve your cardiovascular system, and strengthen/tone your muscles. Exercise is pretty much an overall health builder.While exercise is great and should be performed on a daily basis, it is also very important; I just cannot stress enough the importance of exercising safely. If you are not following proper form, or are overdoing it, exercise can be very dangerous. There are a few things when working out or exercising that you need to be careful of.Doctors AdviceIf you are not at all active or are only a little active, it is very important to pay your doctor a visit for a physical. This way your doctor can give you some advice on what you are capable of doing, and what he would recommend for you to start with.Warm upWhether you are lifting weights or are getting ready to do any type of cardio it is important to first warm up your muscles, to do this you ... | | By: Health Care Guide | | |
| | MRI Innovation Allows Detection of Subtle Traumatic Brain Injuries | | 2008-05-28 10:12:32 | | DALLAS, May 12 -- Tracking progress and predicting outcomes after severe traumatic brain injury may be possible with an innovative MRI-based technique, researchers here said.Called diffusion tensor tractography, the method offers an improved way to measure multifocal nerve damage within the brain after severe head trauma, according to Ramon Diaz-Arrastia, M.D., Ph.D., of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, and colleagues in the May issue of Archives of Neurology.In a case-control study involving 12 patients with head injuries and 12 healthy volunteers, the technique showed clear differences in axonal integrity within key brain regions, the researchers reported.Action Points * Explain to interested patients that the small study found that a novel MRI technique could measure an otherwise hard-to-detect form of brain injury that correlates with functional outcome. * Explain that the case-control study involved only two dozen patients. The findings need to be confi... | | By: angelite nurses | | |
| | Lack Of Strength = More Injuries | | 2008-05-08 14:48:26 | | Anyone who has ever been an athlete (or even just a casual game-player) knows that to avoid injury you need to increase your strength. The stronger you are, the less likely you'll be to get hurt. I learned the hard way that bicycle racing had created a major discrepancy between my quad and hamstring muscles when I dislocated my knee in April 2007. One of the main reasons I got hurt was because the front of my leg was much stronger than the back, creating an imbalance that ended with me in surgery and then on crutches for a month. Live and learn, I suppose. Another real-world example of the importance of strength training: the Colorado Avalanche. I linked to it in the previous entry about Coach Q, but Adrian Dater's recent blog post (in which he joins the chorus of "nays" on Q's future with the team) was full of interesting tidbits. In response to a reader's comment that the team's entire training staff should be fired: About the training staff thing:... | | By: Mile High Hockey | | |
| | The Real Extent Of The Injuries | | 2008-05-02 12:26:03 | | On the Coach Q show this morning, it was reported that Peter Forsberg suffered two torn groin muscles (there's one on each side for you non-medical students), Wojtek Wolski suffered five broken ribs and both Ian Laperriere and Scott Hannan were playing with broken bones in their feet. What a bunch of divers. The audio of the show should be posted before long here. Hat tip to Dario over at ITCS. UPDATE: Dater confirms the damage, including the status of Paul Stastny---he tore his MCL and would have missed four weeks if the season was still going on. Luckily he'll have the off-season to recover fully.... | | By: Mile High Hockey | | |
| | | | North Carolina Battles Injuries, Flu, and Hokies | | 2008-02-15 20:14:51 | | google.comVirginia Tech @ North CarolinaNorth Carolina has officially hit the injury/flu bug as they are expected to be without three starters against an athletic Virginia Tech team. The Hokies are no stranger to competing with the Heels in Chapel Hill as they won there last year in OT. Expect Seth Greenberg to instruct his club to attack Carolina down low where they will be without Danny Greene and Deon Thompson. This game will be won by who can impose their style on the other. For all of their athleticism, the Hokies would rather grind it out in the half court while North Carolina wants to run. It will be interesting to see if Roy Williams holds back the rains with 3 top players out. I like North Carolina to squeak this one out in the end by 3-7 points.Prediction: North CarolinaClemson @ NC StateEvery time I think Clemson is going to assert themselves as a top 4 ACC team they stumble - losing a 15 point lead last Sunday was perfect example.

| | Injuries on Children Caused by ScotchBrite Easy Eraser or Mr. Clean Magic Eraser-Truth! & Fiction! | | 2007-11-09 06:05:00 | | Summary of the eRumor: There are apparently different versions of this but they all warn that children can experience injuries on the skin from the ScotchBrite Easy Eraser or the Mr Clean Magic Eraser. One of the eRumors says that Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is being removed from store shelves because of containing formaldehyde. The Truth: The bottom line is that there is a first-hand story of a child who experienced skin irritation from a ScotchBrite Easy Eraser but there is dispute about whether it was from chemicals or the abrasive action of the product from being rubbed on the skin. The story about Mr. Clean Magic Eraser being removed from the market is not true. Procter & Gamble Mr Clean Magic Eraser The eRumor claims that the Magic Eraser contains formaldehyde. If you review the government-required Material Safety Data Sheet, you see that one of the ingredients is "Formaldehyde-Melamine-Sodium Bisulfite Copolymer." That's the name of the entire ingredient and it's different than if the product had formaldehyde alone, according to Procter & Gamble. A company release said that "...the word 'formaldehyde' is in its chemical name. However, this ingredient is not formaldehyde and poses no health or safety risks. (Think of this name like 'sodium chloride', which is table salt. Sodium by itself can be dangerous, but sodium chloride - salt - is safe.)." The company said that any formaldehyde found on its product would be in tiny amounts and a result of the manufacturing process and would be "actually less than what is found in indoor air." Procter & Gamble denies that there is any danger from the product and adds "In fact, no ingredients ... | | By: Geeks Undercover | | |

| | Injuries Leave Bills Defense Searching for Depth | | 2007-09-12 13:32:38 | | S Simpson placed on Injured Reserve (Courtesy: View Images) "They're young, but they're talented" - that's a motto that has been repeated by Bills fans throughout the off-season and the pre-season. It was a theory that held especially true for the Buffalo Bills' defense, a group that suffered considerable big-name losses and brought in even younger talent as replacements. Names like Posluszny, Ellison and Youboty didn't strike fear into the hearts of opposing offensive coordinators, but they can - albeit at some point in the future. But Sunday's loss to the Broncos left this team battling the ever-dreaded injury bug. Kevin Everett's catastrophic injury aside, Buffalo will be playing a significant amount of time without four defensive starters - one of them particularly important to the future of the defense. These injuries have left the Bills' front office in scramble mode as they attempt to throw together a defensive depth chart before the team trav... | | By: Buffalo Rumblings | | |
| | Posluszny, Butler Named Starters; Injuries Continue to Pile Up | | 2007-09-03 02:33:17 | | The news just keeps on pouring in from One Bills Drive, as we have two new starters - one on each side of the ball - as well as some injury updates to fill you in on. (Thanks to applet68 for the initial breakage of this info in last post's comments section - props to you.) First, the announcement that surprises nobody - Paul Posluszny will start at MLB. No shock there, as Poz was clearly the superior player at the position throughout training camp and the pre-season and had a lofty draft status to back him up as well. I'm excited to see Posluszny grow into his role on the inside, and he's excited as well: "I knew it was between me and John and whoever the coaches felt was the best fit was going to play," said Posluszny. "I'm happy about the news and excited about the opportunity." The rookie linebacker is well aware of the responsibilities that are on his plate for Sunday's opener as the defense's chief signal caller before the snap. "It's definitely a challenge, but it'... | | By: Buffalo Rumblings | | |
| | Injuries mar victory over Ravens | | 2007-08-20 07:06:14 | | Injuries are, of course, the thing you fear most during preseason games. The Giants were hit hard during last night's 13-12 victory over Baltimore, watching four players go down with significant injuries. The worst was to Michael Jennings, who had caught three passes and seemed to have wrapped up a spot as one of the Giants extra wide receivers. On his third catch, he tore an achilles tendon, and is done for the year. Safety Will Demps dislocated his elbow. Demps, trying to rebound from a disappointing 2006, had been playing well. I'll keep an eye open for reports on how long he will be out. Starting cornerback Sam Madison pulled a hamstring, and rookie wide receiver Steve Smith suffered a concussion. You have to feel awful for Jennings. He made the team last year and caught just five passes in limited duty. This year he had played himself into position to keep his job. The injuries to Jennings and Smith depleted the Giants receiving corps, especially since Plaxico Bur... | | By: Big Blue View | | |

| | New Federal Mattress Standard Expected to Save Hundreds of Lives, Prevent Thousands of Injuries | | 2007-06-21 19:06:25 | | This is a press release from the CPSC or the US Consumer Product Safety Commission:
Mattresses manufactured in or imported into the United States on or after July 1, 2007 must meet the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s (CPSC) flammability standard. The mandatory standard is designed to reduce the severity of mattress fires ignited by open flame sources such as candles, matches and lighters.CPSC estimates that, once fully effective, the new federal flammability standard will prevent as many as 270 deaths and 1,330 injuries every year.
CPSC Acting Chairman Nancy Nord calls the new standard an important layer of fire protection in the home.
“The new federal flammability standard limits the spread and intensity of a mattress fire,” said CPSC Acting Chairman Nancy Nord. “That will give consumers valuable time to escape their homes if there’s a fire and it will save lives.”
The mandatory mattress rule, known as 16 CFR Part 1633, is a performance... | | By: Mattresszine | | |

The succeeding points also will have good use in these conditions. Shoulder point 5 also can be used for shoulder injuries.
