Red flag for repetitive stress injuries identified for first time in humans
For the first time in humans, scientists have found early indicators of inflammation ?potential warning signs ?in work-related injuries caused by repetitive motion. The new study from Temple University senior researchers Ann Barr and Mary...Excessive Text Messaging Causes Repetitive Strain Injury In A Eight Year Old Girl
When her grandmother gave Isabelle Taylor, of St Annes, Lancs, a mobile phone two years ago she did not think that her grand child would end up constantly // sending text messages to her friends and relatives, and developing a condition known as ‘repetitive strain injury’ and becoming the youngest person in Britain to suffer from this condition. Her mother, Jane, explains that she's...Repetitive Magnetic Stimulation of the Brain Gives the Stroke Patients a Reprieve
Repetitive magnetic stimulation of the brain (rTMS) is considered as an effective rehabilitation technique for stroke//. It is found to improve patient movement on the side of the body affected by the stroke. According to the previous research it is found that the unaffected side of the brain becomes hyperactive after a stroke. This side then sends signals to the affected side that act...Nanoparticle Uptake Zoom by Repetitive Motion
A recent research by North Carolina State University toxologists and Rice University Chemists// has highlighted the role of repetitive movements, in increasing the intake speed of nanoparticles through the skin. Vitro experiments on animal skin exposed to buckyballs formed the basis of the research. These bucky balls contained amino acids. Experiments showed that amino acid penetrated deeper and...
