The Honda family is mourning the loss of one its rising stars, the charismatic Italian Marco Simoncelli, who lost his life in a racing accident in today's Malaysian Grand Prix in Sepang.

Causes of Achilles Tendon Injury

Achilles tendon injuries can be caused by: overuse, misalignment, improper footwear, medication side effects, and/or accidents.  Multiple causes often contribute to the same Achilles tendon injury.  For example: a sudden increase in hill climbing, worn out shoes, and weak or tight calf muscles could all contribute to Achilles tendinosis and Achilles tendonitis. Overuse Too fast of an increase in athletic activities such as: Running or walking longer; Running or walking faster; Running or walking up and down more or steeper hills or stairs; More or more powerful “explosive” movements such as lunges, jumps, or  push off’s.  The athletic activity by itself is not the problem, the problem is doing too much too quickly or resuming too quickly after a layoff. Types of injuries caused:  Achilles tendinosis, Achilles tendonitis, Achilles tenosynovitis, Tennis Leg, or in the most severe cases: Achilles tendon rupture. Misalignment Examples: Unequal leg length, Over or under pronation, Short or tight Achilles tendons or calf muscles, Disproportionably weak calf muscles, and Misshapen heel or other foot bones. Types of injuries caused: Achilles tendinosis, Achilles tendonitis, Achilles tenosynovitis, Tennis Leg, or in the most severe cases: Achilles tendon rupture. Improper Footwear Examples: Shoes or sports shoes with too much or too little: Arch support, Cushioning, Motion control, and/or Heel support; High heels; and Worn out shoes or sports shoes. Types of injuries caused: Achilles tendinosis, Achilles tendonitis, Achilles tenosynovitis, Tennis Leg, or in the most severe cases: Achilles tendon rupture. Medication Side Effects The Quinolone group of antibiotics Example: Ciprofloxacin (Cipro®, Baycip®, Cetraxal®, Ciflox®, Cifran®, Ciplox®, Cyprobay®, Quintor®). Type of injuries caused: Achilles tendinosis, Achilles tendonitis, Achilles tenosynovitis, Tennis Leg, or in the most severe cases: Achilles tendon rupture. Cortisone Cortisone is an indirect, rather than a direct, cause of Achilles tendon injury. Cortisone can make a weakened Achilles tendon feel too comfortable.  A patient who has received cortisone shots in or near the Achilles tendon may be able to overly stretch or strain their Achilles tendon without any pain – until they stretch or strain it to the point of rupture Contributing factor: the injury for which cortisone was prescribed. Type of injury caused: Achilles tendon rupture.  Accidents Examples: Crushed in a car or work accident; or Cut (lacerated) by a lawn mower or in a work accident. Type of injuries caused: Crushed Achilles tendon, or Lacerated Achilles tendon. Copy from :http://www.achillestendon.com/CausesofInjury.html

AchillesTendon

The Achilles tendon is fibrous tissue that connects the heel to the muscles of the lower leg: the calf muscles. Leg muscles are the most powerful muscle group in the body and the Achilles tendon is the thickest and strongest tendon in the body. Contracting the calf muscles pulls the Achilles tendon, which pushes the foot downward. This contraction enables: standing on the toes, walking, running, and jumping. Each Achilles tendon is subject to a person’s entire body weight with each step. Depending upon speed, stride, terrain and additional weight being carried or pushed, each Achilles tendon may be subject to up to 3-12 times a person’s body weight during a sprint or push off.

Cervical cancer

Cancer is a disease in wich cell in the body grow out of control. When cancer starts in the cevix it is called cervical cancer. The cervix is the lower, narrow end of the uterus. Also know as the womb, the uterus is where a baby grows when a women is pregnant. The cervix connects the upper part of the uterus to the vagina(the birth canal).

What are the symptoms?

Abnormal cervical cell changes rarely cause symptoms. But you may have symptoms if those cell changes grow into cervical cancer. Symptoms of cervical cancer may include:

Uric Acid

Uric Acid is a waste product from the break down of purine, a substance that is made within our body and found in many of the foods we eat. It is excreted through our urine,but when too much uric acid bulids up it can cause attacks of painful arthritis(gout) especially in toes and fingers. It can also result in kidney stones and blockage in the kidney.

ION DEFICIENCY ANEMIA

What are the common causes of Ion Deficiency Anemia?

1. Blood loss due to heavy menstrual  bleeding, stomach ulcer, colorectal cancer or uterine fibroids.
2. Inappropriate diet, unbalance diet and inability to absorb ion due to intestinal disorder or diseases. Some medications can also interfere with ion absorption.
3. Pregnancy due to increased blood volume demand from going fetus.

Am I at Risk of Developing Ion Deficiency Anemia?

1. Those who are at higher risk includes.
2. women with heavy menstruation.
3. Pregnant or lactating women.
4. Infants, children or adolescents in rapid growth phases.
5. People with poor dietary intake of ion
6. People with stomach ulcer disease or colon cancer.
7. Post-surgery patients.

Why should I Treat Anemia?

Iron deficiency anemia if left untreated can become severe and lead to health problems such as,

1. Irregular heartbeat which can lead to heart disease.
2. problem during pregnancy which may lead to premature births or low birth weight baby.
3. delayed growth, mental and physical development in children.

Try to eat food that are rich in ion together with orange juice or vitamin C tablet. Vitamin C will help to increase iron absorption. Increase fluid and fiber intake when taking ion supplement to minimize initial discomfort of constipation. Ion deficiency cannot be corrected overnight. You may need to take ion supplements for several months or longer to replenish your ion reserves.

Anemia

What is Amemia?
Iron Deficiency Anemia(IDA) is a condition in which the blood lacks healty red blood cells to carry oxygen to tissues. Our body needs iron to make hemoglobin. without hemoglobin, red blood cells cannot carry oxygen. All tissues and cells in the body depend on oxygen to function properly. IDA is common especially in women. About 30% of non-pregnant women of reproductive age, 38% of pregnant women and 14% of men in rural areas are iron deficient in Malaysia.
