My Top Ten Article List:

1. Whether or not weather affects your arthritis pain?

Excerpt: “Does weather really affect the severity of your joint pain? Though, I’ve often wondered this myself, intuitively I’ve often felt quite sure that there is a relationship between weather conditions and my own joint pain. In fact, most people with arthritis assert with conviction that weather conditions do influence the severity of their pain (Laborde et al, 1986).”

2. Osteoarthritis and knee pain increase risk of falls in elderly

Excerpt: “When I think back to my geriatrics classes in medical school, I can vividly recall the lectures by one of the most charistmatic teachers at my university.  He was a geriatrician and an associate clinical professor at my medical school  He had a concept that he called, “the giants of geriatrics.”

3. CLA may be a cure-all for the rodent population, but does it actually work for humans?

Excerpt: “Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) refers to a mixture of isomers of linoleic acid which is found naturally in animal products of ruminant (any of the hoofed animals) sources including meat and diary products. Though CLA is a trans fat, many researchers claim that unlike other trans fatty acids, it is not actually harmful. “

Excerpt: “I certainly hope that the first question that you are asking yourself is the very same question that I asked myself when I came across this very recent study… The question that came to my mind was, “what on earth is balneotherapy?”

8. Supersize me, or maybe not?

Excerpt:  “In developed nations, obesity is reaching epidemic proportions. Millions of Americans continue with weight issues and obesity. Obesity itself has been linked to numerous health conditions including osteoarthritis, type II diabetes, sleep apnea, as well as cardiovascular disease. To address this burgeoning problem, consumers have been inundated with both fad diets as well as the latest ‘miracle diet’ pills.”

9. Gout–The Disease of Kings

Excerpt:  “ I first heard of gout being referred to as the ‘disease of kings’ during my undergraduate pharmacology degree.  What this means is that if you suffer from gout, then there’s a pretty good chance that you are of royal lineage.”
