Treating Achilles tendon trouble
Achilles tendons can be injured in several ways. Overuse can irritate and inflame the tendon (tendinitis). Abrupt movements that stretch the tendon in the wrong way can tear the tendon (rupture). Nonsurgical treatment often is effective. Some cases may require surgery.
Prompt treatment for head injury may lower your risk of dementia
A 2025 study found that people ages 50 to 90 who received treatment within one week after a moderate or severe traumatic brain injury had a 41% lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease over the following three years, suggesting that early treatment may be important.
Battle of the bulge
Diastasis recti occurs when the rectus abdominis muscle - the "six-pack" - separates and leads to a midline abdominal bulge. This might happen because of pregnancy, aging, genetics, excessive abdominal pressure, or abdominal surgery. The bulge becomes more noticeable when lifting heavy objects, getting out of bed, or even performing everyday tasks. The condition usually doesn't resolve on its own. Working with a physical therapist can help decrease the muscle separation.
