From Oregon – According to two studies published in the journal Current Directions in Psychological Science, ADHD may arise because of lead exposure. The first study found that children with ADHD had higher levels of lead in their blood, though researchers could only connect these blood levels with hyperactivity. The second study, however, found a clear connection between levels of lead in the blood and the parent’s and teacher’s assessment of ADHD, an assessment that included both hyperactivity and attention problems. From Sheffield – According to a report published in the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, researchers have found that it is possible to improve eating skills of dementia patients. Comparing two different step-by-step intervention methods with no intervention at all, researchers found that the two methods improved nutritional assessment and difficulty feeding scores in dementia patients. And finally, from Sweden – A simple blood test may be able to predict rheumatoid arthritis even before symptoms develop, according to a report published in the journal Arthritis & Rheumatism. Researchers studied blood samples of over 80 people prior to developing RA symptoms, 69 of these people after they developed RA symptoms, as well as 256 controls. They found that elevation of cytokine levels in the blood predicted eventual development of rheumatoid arthritis.

Golfer’s Elbow – Causes, Symptoms and Treatment Methods

Golfer’s elbow is the funny bone on the inside of the elbow. It is also called medial epicondylitis. It can occur in tennis players and other people who repeatedly grip objects tightly. The elbow is a hinge joint consisting of three bones that serve as the mechanical link between the upper arm and forearm. The primary differences between these conditions are the location of the pain and the activity that leads to injury. Golfers Elbow, or Medial Epicondylitis, affects people who rely on the use of their hands in their work, which could mean just about anyone. Golfer’s elbow can be caused by golf, as the name suggests, by constantly taking the divot with the ball, but it is far from being exclusive to golfers. Golfer’s Elbow is similar to Tennis Elbow which affects the other side of the elbow. The muscles that bend the wrist down start at this point. Forceful and repeated bending of the wrist and fingers cause tiny ruptures of the muscle and tendon to this area. Golfing is only one of the causes of pain at this bone.

Golfer’s Elbow, or Medial Epicondylitis, is a form of tendonitis. The medical names of Tennis Elbow (lateral epicondylitis) and Golfer’s Elbow (medial epicondylitis) come from the names of these bony prominences where the tendons insert, and where the inflammation causes the pain. Rarely the inflammation comes on without any definite cause, and this may be due to an arthritis, rheumatism or gout. Elbow injuries are relatively common among athletes. Adolescents and older adults are most at risk- adolescents because their bones and ligaments are still growing, and older adults because their ligaments and tendons lose normal elasticity with age. Sometimes the problem is partly or completely due to a neck problem, which is causing pain in the elbow via the nerves from the neck. This conditions typically affect people aged 35-50 years, and both men and women equally.

Overusing the flexor muscles of the forearms.

Carpenters who use hand tools on occasion.

Electrical stimulation to ease pain and improve healing of the collagen.

Apply heat to the elbow only when you are returning to physical activity. Then use it before stretching or getting ready to play sports.

A commonly used surgery for golfer’s elbow is called a medial epicondyle release . This surgery takes tension off the flexor tendon.
