Not knowing who the Center for Environmental Health (CEH) were, I check wikipedia. No entry. Reading their site will lead you to think they hate all industry. This doesn't affect what they report, but you should keep it in mind. The impetus for their testing was a CDC report about artificial turf. It is not apparent whether the CEH undertook their study prior to or after the CDC. read more | add new comment | 77 reads

Today I was going to write about Chipper Jones' injury, but that can wait. What I wanted to chat about today is the very cool knee injury videos on You Tube. No, I'm not talking about the ones that show the actual injuries. I don't know about you, but it makes me squeamish to watch that happen. I remember injuries to myself and how I felt when they happened. A shiver goes up my back. What I am talking about are the cool educational knee videos on You Tube. A few are low budget and missing information, but then a few others are right on topic. Let's take a look at a few of them: The first video is from Dr. Vijay Vad, the PGA Tour doctor. It is a great visual walk through of the main parts of the knee and common injuries. read more | add new comment | 35 reads

We're into the injury aspect of sports, but we also discuss topics related to preventing injuries.

Dengue fever should be pronounced like Ben Gay, but with a D. Hence, Den Gay. The fascinating thing about this is the media reports concerning Hypolito's infection. Check this out: He's recovering and could be released from the hospital on Tuesday. The three or four days he missed because of dengue will not affect his training for the Olympics. He will be completely recovered and ready to practice on April 23. - Dr. Robson de Bem. read more | add new comment | 197 reads

Marion Jones is in the news again. This time she, or should I say her attorney, is pleading to the court to avoid prison time. Her attorney saus she has suffered enough. As if. Marion Jones turned in her medals and has become a ghost in the world of track and field, but she still cheated. More importantly, she lied. You might be wondering how the clear THG helps athletes and why would they use it. Hopefully, the run through below helps you become more acquainted with the steroid.

We're going to take a break today and move from covering athletes so that we can cover someone who covers them, Peter Gammons. Peter Gammons is the premiere baseball analyst in the business. Working for ESPN, Peter has been a figure of analysis, commentary and information for years. On June 27, 2006 Peter Gammons suffered a brain aneurysm. A brain aneurysm is a bulging or ballooning of one of the arteries in your brain. There are two types of brain aneurysms: unruptured and ruptured. In an unruptured brain aneurysm the bulge has not burst. In a ruptured brain aneurysm the bulge bursts. We're going to talk about unruptured brain aneurysms and their treatment, because only 20% of patients that suffer a ruptured brain aneurysm live without complications. What are the symptoms of a brain aneurysm? In some cases there will be no symptoms if the brain aneurysm hasn't burst or is leaking slowly. In fact, it is thought that one in fifteen people have a brain aneurysm and do not know it. For those who have symptoms and their brain aneurysm has not burst, these are the most common: speech problems, memory loss, coordination loss, poor peripheral vision and behavioral changes. read more | add new comment | 698 reads

Your knees are probably the most important part of your body if you participate in sports. They're used for everything from running to balancing to leveraging. It's no fun when you suffer a knee injury, and it's definitely not fun when your knees are arthritic.
For that reason it's great news that Dr. Kevin Stone of the Stone Clinic has been researching the possibility of meniscus transplantation. This procedure involves taking menisci from organ donors and placing it into someone suffering from knee arthritis. In testing the procedure worked 42 of 47 times, which means that the menisci transplanted was viable in the patient. read more | add new comment | 465 reads
