Cheekbones, narrowness of jaws, the position of teeth and the formation of the hard palate make the taking of accurate x-ray pictures a challenge.For these reasons x-ray pictures of teeth and jaws quite often fail to disclose the presence of infection or what kind of treatment might be required, contrary to generally accepted views of most dentists and patients.Cracks in teeth are almost never visible on x-ray pictures.The extent of bone loss around a tooth, though felt to indicate the severity of its infection, does not do so. Doctors Basker and Stern, in separate studies, reported that 85 to 100 percent of dental granulomas and redicular cysts do not contain bacteria. This does not...

This article will focus on the acquisition of knowledge through learning by reading. While there are certainly numerous other ways to learn (experience, classroom instruction, digital learning, etc.) I am a huge fan of the benefits of professional development gained from good old-fashion reading. Someone once said "you are what you read" and while I think there is far more to the equation of our individual make-up than our choice of reading material there is also an element of truth contained in the aforementioned quote.If I told you how much time I spend reading and researching you probably wouldn't believe me, but suffice it to say I am a voracious reader. I subscribe to online clipping services...

Soft Drinks, The regular stuff!We all know sugar sweetened soft drinks are empty calories and help contribute to the overall obesity problem in the western world. What most of us don't know is how much of an impact these have and how switching to diet drinks may be an even worse choice.In 2000 Americans alone spent $60 billion on carbonated soft drinks and billions more on non-carbonated "fruit" beverages. During the same year the average American consumed more than 53 gallons of soft drinks. (Source: National Soft Drink Association). Those 53 gallons are equal to over 283 12 ounce cans each on average.In 2004, soft drink companies produced enough non-diet soda to provide each U.S. resident with...

WHAT IS ERP?ERP is a term that is widely used yet probably not well understood. It stands for Enterprise Resource Planning and although it was initially targeted to manufacturing companies, today it encompasses any product that can be used across an enterprise. When implemented effectively, ERP enables companies to break down traditional organizational silos, replacing them with a tightly integrated horizontal structure in which strategy, organizational structure, process and technology are closely aligned. Applications can include financial, distribution, manufacturing, human resources, payroll, and project costing.There is a lot of confusion between an accounting system and ERP. In the past, an...

Myth 1: Exercise doesn't help arthritis, and in fact makes the condition worse. Fact: Proper exercise performed on a regular basis is an important part of arthritis treatment, according to the Arthritis Foundation. Twenty years ago, doctors advised exactly the opposite, fearing that activity would cause more damage and inflammation. However, not exercising causes weak muscles, stiff joints, reduced mobility, and lost vitality, say rheumatologists, who now routinely advise a balance of physical activity and rest.Three main types of exercises are recommended:Range-of-motion ... moving a joint as far as it will comfortably go and then stretching it a little further to increase and maintain joint...

What is Pleural Mesothelioma?Pleural Mesothelioma or malignant pleural mesothelioma is cancer in the layer of the lungs that can spread to the lungs. The spread of the tumor over the pleura results in pleural thickening. This hinders the reflexivity of the pleura and encases the lungs in an increasing restrictive belt. With the lungs thus restricted, they get constricted in no time and a person is always out of breath.Pleural mesothelioma can be:- Diffuse and malignant (carcinogenic)- Localized and benign (non-cancerous)Benign pleural mesothelioma can be removed surgically, but the malignant tumors are the real terror heads.Most common among other mesothelioma cases, Pleural Mesothelioma is caused...

I don't know when the hunting season is in your part of the country, but in my house it is every school day from August through June. Why else am I hunting through old purses at 6:00 a.m. trying to stalk a quarter for my son's milk money? The only thing I trap are lint-covered lifesavers, an Eisenhower button, and a grocery list of strained vegetables (my youngest is eight years old). It is about as exciting as spending 12 hours in a duck blind.I must remember to give my child some dollar bills tomorrow so he can purchase "The Lion And The Alligator" and "Mindy And the Moose" at the school book fair. Once the hunting season starts he suddenly develops a serious case of buck fever.My next aim is to...

While most physicians are able to carry out routine diagnostic checks of patients and suggest suitable treatments, there are times when either the unavailability of a physician or the lack of medical infrastructural facilities requires a patient to seek instant care elsewhere. If the problem is not so serious as to call for immediate hospitalization and intensive or advanced medical supervision, an urgent care clinic can be an effective option. Similar to a hospital but not as comprehensive as to include all forms of treatment, especially during moments requiring critical care, an urgent care clinic is able to provide treatment, especially at times when a physician's clinic is closed for the day.An...

Introduction Sprained ankles are one of the leading causes of athletes to miss games during the season. Many times they are taped up & rushed back to the field without proper rehabilitation. More often than not, the ankle gets re-injured or worse, they end up with a knee, hip or low back injury. These injuries can be prevented by providing the proper healing time and rehabilitation. The same premise holds true for non-athletes. I have worked with a number of patients that have had multiple ankle sprains that were never given the opportunity to fully rehabilitate. The most common complaint is that their ankle turns over at any time without warning. All it takes is a slight bend in the pavement...

What are the key issues facing both seniors and aging baby boomers today? I recently spoke to a diverse group of the aging population about three distinct and common problems facing them. These common yet serious problems are:1. Osteoporosis 2. Falls 3. Adverse Drug ReactionsFor each condition, I defined and reviewed the problem, went though a case history and then finally gave them practical action steps to solve the problem.The topic for part 1 is the all too prevalent and but highly preventable Osteoporosis. A simple but accurate definition of osteoporosis is: A decrease in bone mass and bone density resulting in an increased risk and/or incidence of fracture.We all know that dietary intake...
