How to Get Real Rest
Rest is essential. People who make true rest—not just sleep—part of their everyday routine have better outcomes across different aspects of their health. Their sleep quality is better, life satisfaction is higher, chronic pain is lessened, work productivity is greater, and they even tend to live longer.
The trouble is, rest usually gets pushed to the bottom of the to-do list. And if you fill your nights and weekends with exciting plans, your time off can be just as demanding and depleting as work.

What Causes Hemoptysis?
Discussion
True hemoptysis is a very uncommon or rare problem in pediatrics but can be potentially life-threatening. Massive hemoptysis has a high mortality (up to 50%) mainly from asphyxia and inability to ventilate and oxygenate the patient because of blood in the pulmonary airways. Fortunately, most hemoptysis is small in amount that resolves within 24 hours.
Initial evaluation for hemoptysis can include complete blood count, coagulation studies, C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, urinalysis (possible pulmonary-renal problems), radiographic imaging including chest x-ray and/or computed tomography, and...

How Do You Treat Nasal Fractures?
Discussion
Facial trauma is common and accounts for about 11% of all pediatric emergency room visits. Nasal fractures are fewer in younger ages but increase in incidence as children age because of increased opportunity for trauma (e.g. playing, sports, car accidents, etc.). Anatomy also plays a part as young children have more cartilaginous structures and the nose does not protrude as much as an older child or adult who also have more osseous structures. The nasal structures have 2 bigger growth phases from 2-5 years and also at puberty. Adult size is reached in 16-18 years for females and about 2 years later for males (18...

Clinical value of some knee and hip MRIs questioned
While MRI-detected biomarkers may serve a beneficial role for people with hip and knee pain, the modality's clinical utility may be limited in patients over the age of 45 in patients with advanced osteoarthritis, according to an article published in the American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR).
After performing a systematic review and meta-analysis of current literature to assess the clinical utility of MRI in this patient population, NYU Langone Health researchers found several knee structural lesions on MRI that represented potential imaging biomarkers. However, they also found that identifying meniscal tears on MRI like...

Your Doctor ’ s Words Could Make You Sick
“You may feel a sharp pinch, but it will all be over quickly.”
Before the COVID-19 jab was plunged into our arms, most of us probably heard words similar to these. After the anticipated pinch, the nurse or doctor likely told us something about possible vaccine side effects. For one of us, the nurse’s forewarning was rather specific: “Around 12 hours from now you may experience a pain in your arm or feel flu symptoms. But don’t worry,” the nurse aimed to reassure. “This can be easily managed by Tylenol.”
