Walking is often thought of as a mere mode of transportation: a way to get from point A to point B. Few of us consider the fact that it’s one of the most fundamental, accessible physical activities a person can do.
What’s so great about walking?
Walking might not be as impressive as holding a plank or doing mountain climbers, but “it’s considered a bodyweight exercise, because your large muscle groups are working to move the weight of your body,” says Dr. Marie Kanagie-McAleese, a pediatric hospitalist at University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Health and the leader of the Bel Air...

The relationship between pregnancy and temporomandibular disorder (TMD) through diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders (DC/TMD) axis II evaluation: a case-control cross-sectional study
DiscussionThe
findings suggest that pregnancy is neither a risk nor a protective
factor for TMD. Differences in pain perception, functional status, and
psychological health were observed in pregnant women but were not
consistent for all TMD-related aspects. The role of estrogen in TMJ
health and TMD risk is complex and requires further study. The research
highlights the necessity of including mental health, especially
depression, in TMD assessments. More comprehensive research with larger
sample sizes is essential to better understand the connections between
pregnancy, TMD, and hormones, aiming to improve TMD mana...

How Common Is Recurrent Radial Head Subluxation?
Discussion
Radial head subluxation (RHS) is most commonly occurs in children 6 months – 4 years old. It occurs because of the anatomy and child development. The radius is connected to the ulna just distal to the radial head by an annular ligament that encircles the radius “neck” (i.e. radial diaphysis) and inserts into the ulnar tuberosity. However the annular ligament is relatively small and also not as fibrous in young children compared to older children and adults. Young children often have their arm extended upward to hold hands with an adult especially when they are new walkers. If the child stumbles...
