Phenomenal Stones

Phenomenal Stones

Phenomena are the gemstone equivalents of "special effects". They signify extremely special properties in stones, and because of this, these stone command special prices! There are many kinds of phenomenal gems, and we hope this article will make these terms clear.
First of all, let us consider asterism. This phenomenon exhibits itself in certain types of corundum (sapphire and ruby), garnet, spinel, diopside, beryl, quartz, and orthoclase. It comes from the Latin word for star. When this phenomenon is present, a four-, six-, or, rarely, twelve-rayed star is displayed on the surface of the stone. This is usually caused by needle-like inclusions within the stone, which are aligned in four, six, or twelve ways, and cause the light to reflect in a star-shaped pattern. A stone especially valuable if the center of the star hovers right over the center of the stone! A stone must be a cabochon (dome-topped stone) in order to display this.

Sinus Infection - The Rapidly Increasing Problem

Sinus Infection - The Rapidly Increasing Problem

Sinus infection is the problem that affects the cavities around the nose or inflammation to the sinuses. It is common by the name sinusitis across the world. This infection is spreading very rapidly and millions of people get affected by this every year. It is an infection which is very painful and makes the life of the patient uncomfortable. It is caused by bacteria, fungi and viruses which shows sinus headache symptoms and difficulties in the breathing. The air or mucus gets blocked in the sinuses causing severe pain.
Sinus infections are mostly caused due to the common cold. The other causes are increase in the air pressure, pregnancy which changes the hormones of the females. Asthma and genetic disorders can also cause sinusitis. Even the anatomy of nose and any accident which disturbs the structure of nose can cause this problem.
The symptoms of the sinus infections are severe headaches, swelling around the eyes, loss of smell, pain in the cheeks and blocked nose which ultimately leads to high fever and weakness in the body.

Urinary Incontinence - Symptoms and Treatment

Urinary Incontinence - Symptoms and Treatment

Urinary incontinence is a medical condition which involves loss of control over once urinary bladder, thus leading to urine leakage at odd times, and involuntarily. This problem is very distressing to patients because of the immense impact it can have. As our bodies age it is common for incontinence problems to occur as the bladder muscles start to weaken and are unable to hold in the urine as tightly as they could in the past. When the muscles start to weaken you may have dribble of urine throughout the day. This can be embarrassing to just about everyone that deals with it and it is why you need to seek out products that can make your life easier.

Circumcision Circumscribed

Circumcision Circumscribed

This dastardly, narcissistic and self--serving attempt to rationalize the banning of circumcision by siting Mishnaic/Talmudic sources that the sages themselves weren't certain as to what truly constitutes circumcision, milah (circumcision) with or without periah (removing the prepuce) is disingenuous. It reminds me of the old Yiddish expression "chazir fissel kosher," the pig presents himself as kosher because he has split hoofs! The bottom line is, just as the pig doesn't chew its cud and therefore not kosher, milah without periah isn't milah. The interpretive guidelines of the sages are precisely what makes and defines normative Judaism. To negate that is to negate the basic, core fundamental structure of normative Judaism. It is those interpretive guidelines that have formed the Jewish laws and customs to which we subscribe to collectively, as a people, even though individuals may opt to not observe them. Thus, a kosher household isn't one that follows the dietary laws of the Pentateuch, for that kind of household would be deemed non kosher by normative Judaism. A household that follows the dietary laws as defined by the sages and rabbis over thousands of years has become the gold standard, with perhaps variation as a result of technology and cultural modifications.

Boxing For Women - How to Pursue This Sport As a Woman

Boxing For Women - How to Pursue This Sport As a Woman

The sport of boxing for women has been around for much longer than most realize. Boxing for women and how to pursue this sport as a woman is very much the same as for a man. Womens boxing was first introduced on the world stage as a demonstration event in the Summer Olympic Games in 1904. Unfortunately for women who were interested in this sport it never really gained any footing and was even banned by most nations for several decades.
Then in 1988 the Swedish Amateur Boxing Association gave its first womens match. However, in the 1970's here in the U.S. a female boxer by the name of Cathy "Cat" Davis had started her career. She was able to have several of her matches televised and even made the cover of Ring Magazine.However a scandal broke out with the accusation of her matches being fixed and this alone was almost enough to kill the sport.

Veteran Sports

Veteran Sports

The whistle blew on that first game and I burst onto the field with a fervour I hadn't felt in oh so long and haven't felt since. What I have felt is every year of absence and age, groaning about the stupidity of running around a field chasing a ball with a stick in my hands at the grand old age of 41. It hasn't stopped me though. I think to myself, "I'm too old for this..." as the ball whizzes past, and [like one of Pavlov's dogs] I automatically react. "That's my ball!" the hockey player inside my head says and orders my legs to start running. It would all be quite pathetic if it wasn't such good fun.
The camaraderie of the team is something I'd nearly forgotten about. The slaps on the back as we'd chased, tackled, jostled, and occasionally scored goals is a wonderful boost to moral. As is the concern when once again I've forgotten to stop running, barrelled into another player and somersaulted through the air to land with a thud on the ground. Or the shouts of "Don't worry, you'll get 'em next time!" when one of us has completely stuffed up a tackle or shot. The emphasis has been, and continues to be, less on winning [though that always remains our goal] and more on being a team, supporting each other and having fun. It's much more fun now than when I was a teenager and winning was everything. If I can get through a whole game without gasping for the need to rest before quarter time, I'm happy. If I can manage the game without injuries I'm even happier. To score a goal is the ultimate high!

Pain in the Butt: Piriformis Syndrome

Pain in the Butt: Piriformis Syndrome

If it hurts to touch a point that's in the middle of one side of your buttocks, you probably have piriformis syndrome. This chronic condition is very difficult to diagnose, because other injuries may produce exactly the same symptoms. Similar pain may be the result of an injury to bones, muscles, tendons, bursae (pads between the tendons and bones), the hip joint, or the sciatic nerve, but there are ways to determine from which condition you might be suffering.
If you feel most pain when you land after hopping on one leg, you might have an injured hip joint or a stress fracture in your pelvis or upper leg bones. An x-ray will usually reveal a joint injury, but only a bone scan will reveal a stress fracture.
If you feel pain in your buttocks, particularly when you touch your toes while keeping your knees straight, you might have a tear in the large muscles or tendons that run down the back of your hips.

Urgent Medical Care Is Required for Sprains and Strains

Urgent Medical Care Is Required for Sprains and Strains

When you have a medical emergency, such as a sprain, broken bone or strained muscle, the pain can be unbearable. This emergency requires immediate medical help. Waiting for a physician to see you in a hospital emergency room can take hours and the pain can be excruciating. Sitting in a crowded waiting room causes pain, stress and can waste precious time in the healing process. However, there are alternatives in medical care that can shorten and even remove that waiting time. It is a good idea to research facilities in your area that can provide professional services, experienced doctors and thorough services to meet your needs. The key in an emergency is to respond quickly and not to wait around for hours while your condition worsens. You can never predict when you will need urgent medical care in your life. However, with a little research and preparation, you will at least know where to go if something does occur. You want to avoid pain from broken bones, flu symptoms, allergic reactions and muscle spasms.
Let's have a look at some of the basics that any individual suffering from a sprain or strain should understand prior getting the medical care. These are two different medical conditions. An injury to a ligament due to tearing or stretching is known as a sprain and an injury to a muscle or tendon is known as a strain. In your body there are muscles, ligaments and tendons; all of these together hold joints together and allow an individual to move. Two bones are held together with the help of a ligament and it is with the help of tendons that muscles are connected to bones. This is how movement occurs. In any age group, these conditions can occur to an individual either from falling, lifting, twisting, or sports, exercise, or car accidents.

Overuse Injuries

Overuse Injuries

Overuse injuries occur due to repeated and excessive demands on tissues over time, resulting in tissue damage and pain. All our bodily tissues have tolerances to activities and postures and have a degree of ability to adapt to the stresses placed upon them. The stresses we place on our tissues very enormously in quality and include a large number of different stress types such as compression and impingement, tension and contraction, tension and shearing. Continual stresses on the tissues leads to changes within them which lead to failure and pain as the rate of injury overtakes the ability of the tissues to repair and heal.
Tissues vary in susceptibility to stress and overuse, with neural tissues being very vulnerable especially to the restriction of blood supply or ischaemic damage leading to thickening of the nerve membranes and in severe cases degeneration of the nerves themselves. Muscular pain may result from a low level continuous contraction when muscles are required to perform repeated actions. It is known that psychosocial factors have some relevance, such as satisfaction about work, the self perception of health, the person's coping mechanisms, depression and anxiety. Many activities, occupations and sporting endeavours involve repetitive actions and can trigger overuse injuries.

Sports Medicine

Sports Medicine

Despite what the name implies, sports medicine is not confined to the athletic field. The branch of orthopedics consists of the treatment of injuries resulting from physical activity. These injuries can occur due to overuse, over-exertion, traumatic collision, or over-extension of the ligaments and cartilage of joints. Sports injuries can occur to any part of the body; however, the majority of sports injuries occur in the major joints, including the shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle.

Restless Legs Syndrome - How Do I Get Rid of Restless Leg Syndrome?

Restless Legs Syndrome - How Do I Get Rid of Restless Leg Syndrome?

Occasionally a cure, remedy or treatment comes along for an ailment or condition that works and doesn't make any sense at all. That's the case for the soap cure for restless legs syndrome (RLS.) First of all let me mention that the correct spelling for restless legs syndrome is for the plural form with two legs not one leg so restless leg syndrome singular is incorrect.
What is restless legs syndrome? Not truly a sleep disorder it's thought it's a condition in which your legs feel extremely uncomfortable while you're sitting or lying down. You want to get up and move around - and doing so it goes away for the time being.
The symptoms of RLS feel like unpleasant sensations in the calves, thighs, feet or arms, and include tingling, aching and burning.
There is another related condition called PLMS which stands for periodic limb movements of sleep. Many people with RLS have this too. This causes a person to flex and extend their legs during sleep involuntarily.

Narcolepsy - A Rare Sleep Disorder

Narcolepsy - A Rare Sleep Disorder

Narcolepsy is a quite rare sleep disorder, which causes sufferers to fall asleep at any second of the day whether they are weary or not. Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder, meaning that the brain sends orders to the body that it is tired and should go to sleep right away and the body obeys no matter what it is doing.
Attacks of narcolepsy most frequently occur when the sufferer is doing something quiet, like watching TV or reading, yet it can also occur while eating or driving, which is naturally extremely dangerous. Some Individuals fall asleep in the middle of a conversation or at work in the middle of a job.
As with some other disorders like restless leg syndrome and sleep apnoea and even snoring, it is not normally the sufferer that is first aware that he or she has a difficulty. Very often a spouse or colleague is the first to alert them to their condition and frequently it take quite a while before they will accept it and even longer before they do anything about it.

Insomnia - Cause of Sleeplessness

Insomnia - Cause of Sleeplessness

Insomnia is sometimes the symptom of another problem. The common cause for sleeping problems can be related to stress and anxiety, illness or struggling with other difficult issues such as relationship problems. Other common causes include noise, difficult working hours, too much caffeine or alcohol consumption.
Insomnia is also very common in older people. Good news is that most of these problems can be treated fairly easily without turning to prescribed drugs. So the common causes are:
· Psychological problems that can cause insomnia - anxiety and depression are the most common causes of insomnia
· Medications and medical problems that can cause insomnia
· Sleep disorders that can cause insomnia such as sleep apnea

What Is Sleep Apnoea?

What Is Sleep Apnoea?

Sleep apnoea is a sleep disorder which causes sufferers' airway muscles to relax whilst they are sleeping. Unfortunately, the muscles relax to the point where the airways collapses, causing frequent, short pauses in breathing. The disorder is commonly associated with people who snore, although not all snorers have sleep apnoea.
The pauses in breathing mean that sufferers' sleep is disturbed and interrupted and is therefore of poor quality. Unfortunately, the disorder very often goes undiagnosed, with many sufferers going years or decades before they are treated. These sufferers tend to become accustomed to the tiredness, lack of co-ordination and irritability they feel during the daytime because their sleep is being interrupted at night. Diagnosis must be made after a sleep study, but before a patient is asked to take part in a sleep study, a loved one often recognises a problem, or a doctor becomes suspicious that symptoms presented suggest interrupted sleep.

Apnoea Worsens Strokes

Apnoea Worsens Strokes

Apnoea sufferers are more likely to have a stroke and highly likely to experience worse outcomes after stroke, according to a recent study reported in the Journal of Stroke & Cerebrovascular Diseases. This article discusses these and associated findings from the study.
According to the study, patients who are at high risk for ischaemic heart disease should be routinely checked for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Early findings from the study suggest the prevalence of OSA in this group could be as high as 60%.
The study examined the correlation of obstructive sleep apnoea with age, sex, ischaemic stroke subtype, disability and death. Patients with a high likelihood of having sleep apnoea were identified via use of the Berlin Sleep Questionnaire.
