Ankle Injuries Forefoot Pressure

On one side, an ankle twist is an injury to one or more ligaments in the ankle, usually on the outside of the ankle. On the other side, it is commonly seen with ladies who wear the foot wear with high heels and tight belt straps.

The ankle is a complex joint that is capable of a wide range of movement: flexion, extension, inversion and eversion. This need to be taken care before it is too late.

High heals push the center of mass in the body forward, taking the hips and spine out of alignment. High heals may make legs look longer, but as the heel hight goes up, so does the pressure on the forefoot.

About Mesothelioma

In this article, you can learn about Mesothelioma? How does it affect a Patient? Who is helping out there for the society? among other useful links to this disease.

According to Wikipedia - Mesothelioma is a form of carcinoma of the mesothelium lining lungs or abdomen or heart; usually associated with exposure to asbestos dust. In this disease, malignant cells develop in the mesothelium, a protective lining that covers most of the body's internal organs.

Most people who develop mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they inhaled asbestos particles, or they have been exposed to asbestos dust and fiber in other ways. Washing the clothes of a family member who worked with asbestos can also put a person at risk for developing mesothelioma.

The mesothelioma is indicated by yellow arrows, the central pleural effusion (fluid collection) is marked with a yellow star. Red numbers: (1) right lung, (2) spine, (3) left lung, (4) ribs, (5) descending part of the aorta, (6) spleen, (7) left kidney, (8) right kidney, (9) liver.

Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation (MARF) is a non-profit organization that funds mesothelioma research, provides services to patients, educates the public, and advocates in Washington, DC for governmental funding for mesothelioma research. The organization's mission is to eradicate mesothelioma as a life-ending disease.

To date, the Foundation has funded over $5 million in clinical research and is the host of the annual International Symposium on Malignant Mesothelioma.

Here is one to concentrate the minds of the Mesothelioma doctors in World.

There was an article in the Sunday Times during May, 2007 by Dr Andrew Lawson, a 50 year old hospital consultant in Berkshire. Andrew has recently been diagnosed as having a mesothelioma.

Mesothelioma as stated above, is a malignant tumour of lining tissues which can appear in a variety of places but is most commonly found in the pleura, which are the lining tissues of the lungs. Mesothelioma is usually related to the ingestion of blue asbestos.

A survey conducted by the Health and Safety Executive indicated that in the UK the highest risk of asbestos related lung disease arises from insulation work. In one group studied more than 10% of men died of mesothelioma. Epidemiologic work by Professor Peto has shown that in the first few years of the 21st century we can continue to expect a rise in the number of new cases of mesothelioma in Great Britain. mesotheliome is a horrible cancer of the lining of the lung (usually), with a very long latency period (it can manifest itself 40 years after asbestos exposure or even longer). (source)

One of the leading mesothelioma experts is Professor Tom Treasure of Guy’s Hospital. He says - "The peak of the epidemic is expected in 2015 to 2020 when the death rate is likely to be 2,000 per year in the UK.

The epidemic in the United States has probably peaked because of earlier awareness and action on asbestos imports,” he added. “Many countries are seeing the rising tide of an epidemic, and all doctors need to know how to recognize and diagnose this disease and what treatments are available.

Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people!

John is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, 'If I were any better, I would be twins!'
He was a natural motivator.
If an employee was having a bad day, John was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.

Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up and asked him, 'I don't get it!
You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?'
He replied, 'Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or ... you can choose to be in a bad mood
I choose to be in a good mood.'

Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or...I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.

Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or... I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.

'Yeah, right, it's not that easy,' I protested.
'Yes, it is,' he said. 'Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people affect your mood.
You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live your life. I reflected on what he said. Soon here after, I left the Tower Industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.

Several years later, I heard that he was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower.
After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, he was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back.

I saw him about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, 'If I were any better, I'd be twins...Wanna see my scars?'
I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.

'The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of my soon-to-be born daughter,' he replied. 'Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or...I could choose to die. I chose to live.'

'Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?' I asked
He continued, '..the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man'. I knew I needed to take action.'

'What did you do?' I asked.
'Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me,' said John. 'She asked if I was allergic to anything 'Yes, I replied.' The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, 'Gravity'.'

Over their laughter, I told them, 'I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.'
He lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude... I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.
Attitude, after all, is everything .

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
After all today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.
You have two choices now:
01. Forget that you read this or
02. Share my Blog with the people you care about.
You know the choice I made?
Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people. Are you preparing? If not now, when? If not you, who? Get Ready, Stay Ready........
