Introduction Nutraceuticals Nutraceutical is a new word, invented by Dr. Stephen DeFelice in 1989. It is two words put together: nutritional and pharmaceutical. Nutraceuticals are dietary supplements that are also called functional foods. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a nutraceutical is any substance that is a food or a […] Osteoporosis is a very common disorder affecting the skeleton. In a patient with osteoporosis, the bones begin losing their minerals and support beams, leaving the skeleton brittle and prone to fractures. About 80 percent of people with osteoporosis are women. This is in part because their bone mass is generally less than men, and women […] 1. What are the various problems which heel wearing can cause? Is it limited to the feet or body too?

These tests provide a validated means to quantify cognitive weakness, and it is increasingly clear that neuropsychological assessment is a useful tool for measuring both the initial and recovery stages of athletes […] More than 15 grading systems and return-to-play parameters have been published to guide the team physician, trainer, and coach in the evaluation and management of concussion. However, because of a lack of scientific foundation, these recommendations and grading systems are relatively arbitrary guides. For example, most concussion grading systems determine return-to-play decisions based on the […] The management of concussion has three crucial considerations. First, immediate neurologic emergencies must be identified. Second, the devastating scenario of second-impact syndrome must be prevented, and the risk of recurrent concussive episodes should be minimized. Finally, the cumulative effects of repeated concussion, which may lead to CTBI, must be avoided. The identification of neurologic emergencies […] The long-term sequelae of multiple concussive events remain unclear. In boxers, dementia puglistica or punch drunk syndrome, which includes a pattern of ataxia, pyramidal tract dysfunction, tremor, impaired memory, dysarthria, and behavioral changes, has long been recognized as a result of the cumulative effects of concussions. More recently, the term chronic traumatic brain injury (CTBI) […] An extremely rare but life-threatening consequence of premature return-to-play is the second-impact syndrome. This occurs when an athlete who has not completely recovered from an initial concussive event sustains a second head trauma. The second event may be relatively minor, but a catastrophic increase in intracranial pressure can occur because of dysregulation of cerebral blood […] |
