A fracture of certain parts of the fifth metatarsal, such as the midshaft of the bone or at the base of the bone, can be treated without surgery in a boot or wide shoe.
Younger athletes often break this bone at the junction between the base and midshaft, where the blood supply is tenuous. A fracture in this location is often called a Jones fracture. This area has a high rate of nonunion if the fracture is treated without surgery in a running or jumping athlete. The surgeon usually places a screw down the center of the bone to compress the fracture and get it to heal.
The OrthoIllustrated® animation for PRIF 5th MTS fracture is an educational tool to help patients better understand the diagnosis and treatment of this orthopedic condition. Video Rating: / 5

Epsom salt baths:
Epsom salt baths can provide all-over relief, especially for joint pain. The
Osteoarthritis-friendly foods:
Glucosamine and chondroitin are one of the most popular nutritional supplements.
Avocado-soybean unsaponifiables. This nutritional supplement which is used in Europe to treat knee and hip osteoarthritis. It acts as an anti-inflammatory, and some studies have shown that it can slow or even prevent joint damage.

Joint pain is a very frequently encountered problem in clinical practise and the joints which we see majorly affected are the knee joints and the hip joints an also the small joints of the spine, which can result in back pain, which is also a very common problem. So the mechanism for this pain is similar, that is why the treatment also is in similar lines again it can be an acute pain or a chronic or a long standing pain. So depending on what kind of pain we are dealing with, we will decide the line of treatment, for an acute joint pain, you can give rest to the joint, by icing or hot fermentation may be useful and you can take simple analgesic drugs like paracetamol and ibuprofen or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. If these are not adequate, then we need to investigate. then we need to seek medical attention and find out if there is a more serious cause which requires a different line of management. If it is chronic, if it is a long standing pain or if it is recurrent or if it is frequently again and again happening, you need to go and see a specialist doctor to find out the exact cause to again find out the exact cause so as to offer the most appropriate management and control of your pain. In joint pain, you also need to make sure that you have a good balanced diet, you have a good intake of Vitamin D 3, calcium, and also the Omega 3 acid containing rich diet so that lubricates the joints and also helps the overall management of joint pain.

Hemorrhoids or Piles. This video is on treatment, cream, symptoms, causes and how to get rid of hemorrhoids or piles.
Hemorrhoids, also known as piles, are swellings containing enlarged blood vessels found inside or around the bottom (the rectum and anus). In this video were looking at treatment and prevention I hope my tips help.
WHAT ARE HEMORRHOIDS:
Hemorrhoids, or piles, are abnormal swellings of the vascular mucosal anal cushions around the anus. In many cases, hemorrhoids don’t cause symptoms and some people don’t even realise they have them.
But when symptoms do occur, they may include:
• Bleeding after passing a stool – the blood is usually bright red
itchy bottom
• A lump hanging down outside of the anus, which may need to be pushed back in after passing a stool
• A mucus discharge after passing a stool
• Soreness, redness and swelling around your anus
Hemorrhoids aren’t usually painful, unless their blood supply slows down or is interrupted.
HEMORRHOID CAUSES:
The exact cause of hemorrhoids is unclear, but they’re associated with increased pressure in the blood vessels in and around your anus.
This pressure can cause the blood vessels in your back passage to become swollen and inflamed.
Many cases are thought to be caused by too much straining on the toilet as a result of prolonged constipation. This is often caused by a lack of fibre in a person’s diet.
Chronic (long-term) diarrhoea can also make you more vulnerable to getting hemorrhoids.
Other factors that might increase your risk of developing hemorrhoids include:
• Being overweight or obese
• Age – as you get older, your body’s supporting tissues get weaker, increasing your risk of hemorrhoids
• Being pregnant – this can place increased pressure on your pelvic blood vessels, causing them to enlarge
• Family history of hemorrhoids
• Regularly lifting heavy objects
• A persistent cough or repeated vomiting
• Sitting down long periods of time
PREVENTING AND TREATING HEMRRHOIDS:
Hemorrhoid symptoms often settle down after a few days without needing treatment. Hemorrhoids that occur during pregnancy often get better after giving birth.
Making lifestyle changes to reduce the strain on the blood vessels in and around your anus is often recommended.
These can include:
• Gradually increasing the amount of fibre in your diet – good sources of fibre include fruit, vegetables, wholegrain rice, wholewheat pasta and bread, pulses and beans, seeds, nuts and oats
• Drinking plenty of fluid – particularly water, but avoiding or cutting down on caffeine and alcohol
• Not delaying going to the toilet – ignoring the urge to empty your bowels can make your stools harder and drier, which can lead to straining when you do go to the toilet
• Avoiding medication that causes constipation – such as painkillers that contain codeine
losing weight if you’re overweight. Link to my constipation video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9ofHdvvdvM
• Exercising regularly – this can help prevent constipation and help you lose weight
These measures can also reduce the risk of hemorrhoids returning or even developing in the first place.
Hemorrhoid creams, ointments and suppositories are available from pharmacies without a prescription. Generally speaking you want it to contain a local anaesthetic for example lidocaine to help numb the pain in the area in combination with a steroid for example hydrocortisone to help reduce swelling. It’s best to speak to your pharmacist about this so they can make sure it’s safe and suitable for you to use.
These treatments should only be used for 5-7 days and are best used after a bowel motion so it stays in the right area for longer.

Individuals experience minimal memory loss and episodes of unclear thinking. It doesn’t prevent daily activities and does not require a caregiver. Those with this condition usually realize they are having memory problems.
What are the Symptoms of Mild Cognitive Impairment? There are two distinct types called amnestic and nonamnestic. Amnestic symptoms include memory loss, such as forgetting a name or appointment. Nonamnestic symptoms include decision making problems & a lack of organization. Those diagnosed should visit a medical professional once or twice a year. The visit is for testing and to make sure the condition is not getting worse.
What are the Causes of Mild Cognitive Impairment? The causes of MCI are not fully understood. It is thought that the early stages lead to a more serious disorder, such as: Alzheimer’s, but this may not always be the case. Several factors increase an individual’s risk of developing MCI. These risk factors are the same as for dementia. The risk of developing MCI increases with age and may have a genetic component. Including a family history of Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. As well as age-related cognitive decline, are most at risk. People at risk of developing cardiovascular disease are also at most risk. This may be because cardiovascular issues can affect blood flow to the brain. Which potentially deprives the brain of oxygen and other nutrients. Over time this may result in cell death. Specific risk factors for cardiovascular disease include: Obesity, smoking, consuming large amounts of alcohol and eating unhealthy diets.
How is Mild Cognitive Impairment Treated? There is no medical treatment for Mild Cognitive Impairment. It’s recommended to change daily habits to slow down memory loss. Such treatments include daily exercise and eating nutritious meals. Which include lean protein, vegetables, fruits and grains. It’s suggested to routinely stimulate the mind with mental & social activities. Examples include working on crossword puzzles and conversing with other people.
How is Mild Cognitive Impairment Prevented? Studies show that lowering blood pressure is an effective way of preventing MCI. Reducing the amount of fat in your diet, lowering your cholesterol levels and cutting back salt intake are all steps toward controlling blood pressure. Physical exercise is particularly important in the prevention of MCI. Causing brain cell growth, making it more efficient at using the cells it has. Studies show that exercise slows down cognitive decline and can reverse it. As well as dementia, Alzheimer’s and other age-related cognitive issues. However, such preventive measure cannot remove the risk completely.

Think having a hernia repaired is going to be a walk in the park — or that you’ll be ready to take a walk in the park within hours afterward? It may be time for a reality check, a Mayo Clinic study suggests. Researchers found that though patients tend to expect to return to normal activities swiftly after laparoscopic ventral hernia repair, many of those studied were still experiencing pain and fatigue several days later. People under 60 and women in particular seemed to have more prolonged recoveries. For more information, go to the Mayo Clinic News Network. Study Author Juliane Bingener-Casey provides some perspective.
