We had a time out voucher for this place and used it yesterday. THe food was good, staff were friendly, it was just about full but it didnt feel overcrowded.
I particularly liked the hot dishes on the buffet, great flavour to the stews and veggies. The rodizio meats came out very regularly and were generally quite good. Too rare sometimes for my husband's liking but perfect for mine.
Overall it was a really enjoyable dining experience; I really couldnt fault the place.
Purchased a couple of groupon vouchers and it really was a terrible experience both times. The service was OK but the food was awful. The buffet salad bar was constantly empty, dried out and never replenished and the meat seldom came round and when it did it was not good (gristley and over salted). So unlike most of the other Brazilian restaurants we have tried in London. I think they make their money on the groupons / voucher system and do not even try to get repeat custom. Avoid.
I have eaten in the restaurant twice, all food was delicious rated. Enjoyed the hot food as well as the cold buffet. The brazilian Gnocchi with cheese is a must to try, creamy and "al dente". The roast lamb and the heart chicken need tasting as well. I have eaten during the week and on a sunday the service was quick, the music was ok, room temperature ok. The conservatory is close to the buffet and you can eat as much as you want. The buffet was filled regularly and the roast meet came continusly until we couldn't eat anymore. I did buy a voucher on groupon and the deal was convinient for two people. Well done guys. We will come back again.
We booked this restaurant on a Time Out offer, and the only reason we stuck around was because it was pre-paid on a half price deal. I wasn't expecting an outstanding offering because of the discount, however the experience was frustrating, and as already said on other reviews, embarrassing. My boyfriend struggled to book a table in the first place, and after many attempts online and via phone calls, we got a table at 9pm on Saturday 21st September. First of all, we stood waiting to be acknowledged to be seated for over 10 minutes before I had to make a point of not being approached. When seated, it took ages to get anyone's further attention for drinks. The food was ok, but the salad bar buffet wasn't regularly filled, and we had to ask for them to bring us meats over as we kept getting left out. We understood that they were busy, but it was obvious how unsatisfied the other seated customers were with the experience. We did eventually manage to eat some food, however I wouldn't return or recommend this to others.
Will be my first time to night me and my husband looking forward cause it was my birthday yesterday
Buffet is uninspiring - although fried banana sounded promising it ran out and was replaced with boring chips. Salad wilted. My husband (who usually eats anything put in front of him) had to remove bits of gristle from the meat. I'm having flashbacks just thinking about it. Manager friendly though.
I love rodizio restaurants, and have been to quite a few around London. I'd have to say that in my opinion this is by far the worst I've been to. The salads run out very quickly and don't seem to be refilled. The hot buffet dishes are OK. But the really disappointing aspect is the meat - there is an extremely limited selection, it is all very dry and flavourless, and it comes to the table far too infrequently. Normally I would expect to go to a rodizio and come out an hour or so later feeling really full. I've eaten at Raizes twice, and left hungry both times. Please don't think I'm a serial complainer - I'm usually pretty easily satisfied, and this is the first time I've ever felt the need to leave a restaurant review. There are some good rodizio restaurants in London - but this isn't one of them.
One of my WORST dinning out experiences ever. It was quite embarrassing actually. I have been to Raizes a few times. And I noticed how everything started to deteriorate, from service to the quality of the food. I am not usually a cruel restaurant reviewer, but last night's experience at Raízes was despicable! First I called to make a reservation...I was told the restaurant was fully booked all day on a Sunday. Then he opened the exception to find me a table at 4:30PM. My first tought was: this is great! Busy restaurant means fresh food. To our surprise, upon arrival the restaurant was almost empty. I mentioned the fully booked reference and I was told by the owner that the restaurant would be incredibly busy in the next few minutes. I noticed the salad bar is now very small. The food was not replaced. Well, I stayed there for a couple of hours eagerly waiting for some fresh meat. But that never came to us. Now, I could expect to be at least served well by the Brazilians...but the service was so bad that we had to get out of our tables to buy drinks at the bar twice! No one came to check on us during the WHOLE time we stayed in there. And I repeat: no waiter came to us to ask if we wanted something! We had to go and get our plates in a self service manner and wait for the burnt and dry meat! Should I ever return? NO! And an unhappy customer will spread the word to a lot more people than a happy one.
1st time visiting raizes and also 1st time having a rodizio buffet Would not go back for the following reasons: 1) the concept was not explained to us on how service works with regards to serving the meet... we waited 30minutes seeing meat being taken to every other table but ours before i aksed to speak to the manager as teh table next to us had arrived and was given meat after 5 minutes. This is because they had gone up to the buffet got their sides and then came back to the table and waited for meat - we were waiting for meat then was going to get our sides had it been explained we would have known what we needed to do but no such luck! - only 2 out of the 4 staff could speak english. 2) the buffet of sides was very limited and looked a bit wilted and also like it had been sitting there all day (probably had some of it) - salad etc did not look fresh and beans had a skin on them under the heat lamp. 3) the meat - was such a let down. Was very fatty and salty. I am not a huge red meat eater and usually stick to white meats mainly chicken however when i go out to eat will eat steak occasionally and some pork if its not fatty.... Well we were there 8pm til 10pm and all that came out was steak which was cooked beautifully but was terribly salty. Beef on skewers (like shish kebab) but was very bloody and rare - not to my liking and pork served the same way which i ate as i was hungry but was also terrible salty and quite dry. for this reason I dod not eat very much meat at all and i only had 2 helpings of sides - rice and salad with a bit of beans. When we paid for our drinks on leaving I was asked how i enjoyed the food i did mention that I was looking forward to chicken no such luck - I was then told by a waitor that chicken was not being served as it was busy earlier and they had run out of the days supply! why they didnt tell us this on arrival i do not know dread to think how long i wpuld have sat waiting if I was only going to eat chiecken that night and how annoyed I would have been! The staff were very friendly and nice to us talking with us after our meal. However I started to feel ill on the car journey home and as I type this review i sit at my desk feeling under the weather very ropey stomach I also woke up in the middle of the night with a temperature and hot sweats whch i put down to teh food as all i ate the same day was toasts besides the meal out!
This place is great. Food is lovely, staff are very friendly and entertainment is perfect. Also the meat is sooooo soft! Softest thing I've had in my mouth for a long time!
I found the staff friendly and eager to introduce us to all things Brazilian. This is a family friendly restaurant where no eyebrows were raised when my daughter circumnavigated the tables with a new found friend from another party. Indeed, she was rewarded with a treat by the bar person. Food was simple Brazilian fare. Generous portions of manioc, rice, polenta, various meats. I would choose the meats over the fish which I suspect was frozen (a disappointing prawn stew). The grilled meats and sides for four was an excellent introductory starter which really sums up what to expect next. Feijoada was a rich heavy stew with all the right cuts of pork and salted beef. Deserts were fair. In all - this is not haute cuisine! This is everyday Brazilian food at good value.
I'm brazilian and I couldn't agree more with Time Out on this one. To me it's terribly frustrating to eat my national favorites so badly prepared and shameful that this might come across to other nationalities as 'proper tasting' brazilian food. The service was absurdly slow too.
Do not be fooled by the reviews below. Comfortably the worst food I have eaten, and between the three of us we ordered most of what was on the menu. Quite disastrous.
Abasolutely love Raizes. Have been going there for the best part of 5 years. Just love everything about it. The food is brilliant the ambient is spetacular and service is amazing. Will recommend to everyone. My husband is English and adores raizes and so is my 3 years old daughter who tasted brazilian food since i was pregnant lol :) glad to have an amazing restaurant so close to me and that i can remember a little bit of my culture. Go to Raizes and see it for yourself.
What restaurant did this reviewer go to? Must have been somewhere else. The food is amazing (I am a Brazilian, I should know!), service top notch and I seriously don't get what these critics write sometimes. Perhaps it is fashionable to write crap about restaurants just because if you write a true review you are not "cool" or something. For people wanting an amazing feijoada in true Brazilian style, just..... go to Raizes :D
The review is completely wrong. I went there with a brazilian friend, he told me everything there is cook in the traditional way. And it was true, everything we had was amazing!!! If u want a proper brazilian place, go there! You won't be disappointed. Almost all the people there were brazilian and this says it all, as well!!
This review is so wrong! I have nothing to do with this restaurant other than having eaten there a few times when I lived in London. The food is really great, very tasty, huge portions and of a high standard. The selection of beers is also great; the only place in London I found that stocked Bohemia a beer I fell in love with after visiting Sao Paulo. This place is well worth a visit, I really can't understand the above review at all, it is so far off the mark.

Exclusive! Q&A with Kristin Davis
The "Sex and the City 2" star dishes about her famous co-stars, whether we can expect a third movie, body image and an embarrassing Miley Cyrus confession!
—Patty Adams
Sex and the City 2, opening May 27 has women all over the world shining up their Manolos and swigging back Cosmos in anticipation. This time around, the ladies leave the Big Apple for the glitz and glamour of Abu Dhabi, and there are countless high-profile cameos (Liza Minnelli, Penelope Cruz and Miley Cyrus to name a few). But we, for one, are most excited to see a familiar face: Carrie's lost love, Aiden (played by John Corbett). We can't wait to see how he shakes things up between Carrie and Big!
Betty caught up with Kristin Davis (Charlotte) for an in-depth Q&A.
How is SATC 2 different from the first movie?
The first one delved into how everyone's relationships were going, or not going. This time, we wanted it to be totally, totally different. It's funny and fun, and has a road trip sort of vibe. It's a wowzer!
Read Sex and the City 2 Fashion Lowdown
What's the one thing you wish you could change about Charlotte?
I feel like Charlotte needs to own her power more. Everyone should be allowed to get mad!
What other SATC character do you wish you could play for a day?
If I could say anyone else's lines, though, I'd want Miranda's. She's funny and so dry.
Which woman on set is the furthest from her character?
Kim (Cattrall) is very different from Samantha. I'm not sure if people get that. I think she knows her fans enjoy the bawdiness, so she'll do a little bit more of that for them. But in real-life, she's shy. She reads and loves theater. She's not Mae West off-screen!

But the master at getting a ride year after year is of course his new teammate Toni Elias but can't see him being a front runner again and can't see Blu sens results being that great this year unless Toni does something around contract time which seems to be his trump card and teams full for it or is it the money his bring with him ?

IE : a essid 'HelloYou' would work while 'Hello You' wouldnt. This suprises me because with the -P option airbase-ng is clearly able to fake essids with spaces in them. Just wont let you create a particular one.
Thank you

This board is siiiiick. I have the bindings that go with it and its the most comfortable setup I've ever been on. It sends you up an over the wake with ease. To do slides it breaks loose easily. For being a quad fin it rides like no fins are even there! A buddy of mine rode it and said this is the best setup he has ever ridden. I recommend for someone who can ride and wants to take it to the next level. Because it rides loose and a little "squirly" I wouldn't put a beginner on this one. The only draw back I have with this board is my new least favorite trick... Frontside 180 wake to ruptured eardrum! But hey it's part of the sport...BUY THIS BOARD!!!

Bad board. I was really disappointed. DO NOT buy this board for a cable. I bought this board for behind a boat and read the reviews saying it's good for cable. It's not. The sides are breaking after a month at cable and it is split in half after landing a raily. It didn't even break while on a kicker or rail as I would have expected. Also, the boards warranty is voided after using it on a obstacle. Bindings are better. THey don't tighten all the way after a month, but can easily be fixed by wrapping the laces around the boot. Overall I like the bindings, but got ripped off the board. They should at least send some poxy with the board so I can fix it.

Great Board
By WesWake
from Columbus, MS
I've been riding CWB boards for a while and they didn't feel right so I bought the Ronix District board and fell in love the first time it was on the water. Smooth ride, it's wide to improve your balance when landing, its an all around good board. Great for both beginners and intermediate riders. I've talked all my friends into buying a Ronix! The board speaks for itself.
Better than expected
By Superjet96
from Fairfax, VA
This is my first board but I have used others. I was hoping this would be a better board than what has been available to me and it didn't disappoint. As soon as I got up on it I knew this was the board for me. It just felt right from the start and there was nothing to get used to. I have only tried a few other boards but they can't touch this one. I recommend it. I am using it with the Ronix Divide bindings.

Just a great all around park board, having only tried it at the cable i cannot vouch for boat use, but this board seriously delivers at the cable! From day one i was hooked, it slides great, the pop is huge, its really allowed me to progress so much faster in the last 3 sessions then the 10 before i bought the District. Seriously recommend it!
Excellent Intermediate board

Great board. For an intermediate boarder, it has been fantastic to "up my game". Has allowed me to add to my bag of tricks. Definitely recommend.
Ronix District 2012
By Patrik
from Tampa, FL
I've used the District mainly at McCormick's Cablepark, but a also a couple of times behind a boat. The versitality is awesome, you can just take the fins off and go to the park, or put on either the sliders or normal fins and shred it behind a boat. Great overall board! I recommend it for anyone who has been wakeboarding under a year, such people as myself.
Awesome Board!

About Me Beginner
This is my first wake board and it has turned out to be just what I needed to learn on. I have excelled in my riding very quickly and have moved very fast to riding rails and hitting kickers. It is wide and fast and provides a great landing when going big.
It was a great product

Sometimes a USB device will not mount with the /dev/da0s1 argument but will mount with /dev/da0 2. The FreeBSD handbook (@ http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/usb-disks.html ) adds a couple of "extras" which may be worth reviewing: ======= Begin Quote from FreeBSD Handbook ================ "To make this device mountable as a normal user, certain steps have to be taken. First, the devices that are created when a USB storage device is connected need to be accessible by the user. A solution is to make all users of these devices a member of the operator group. This is done with pw(8)<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pw&sektion=8>. Second, when the devices are created, the operator group should be able to read and write them. This is accomplished by adding these lines to /etc/devfs.rules: [localrules=5] add path 'da*' mode 0660 group operator *Note:* If there already are SCSI disks in the system, it must be done a bit different. E.g., if the system already contains disks da0 through da2attached to the system, change the second line as follows: add path 'da[3-9]*' mode 0660 group operator This will exclude the already existing disks from belonging to the operatorgroup. You also have to enable your devfs.rules(5)<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=devfs.rules&sektion=5>ruleset in your /etc/rc.conf file: devfs_system_ruleset="localrules" Next, the kernel has to be configured to allow regular users to mount file systems. The easiest way is to add the following line to /etc/sysctl.conf: vfs.usermount=1 Note that this only takes effect after the next reboot. Alternatively, one can also use sysctl(8)<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sysctl&sektion=8>to set this variable. The final step is to create a directory where the file system is to be mounted. This directory needs to be owned by the user that is to mount the file system. One way to do that is for root to create a subdirectory owned by that user as /mnt/*username* (replace *username* by the login name of the actual user and *usergroup* by the user's primary group): # mkdir /mnt/*username* # chown *username*:*usergroup* /mnt/*username*" ======= End Quote from FreeBSD Handbook ================ 3. The last three Western Digital external USB drives I bought with 500 Gb and larger came formatted NTFS. Are yours formatted Fat32 or NTFS? 4. Even then, NTFS may present mounting issues on 8.0/64 bit installations. See " [solved] *Can't mount ntfs usb hard drive"* @ 4ttp:// forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=11968 5. There are reports of USB disks hanging during the boot/POST sequence with a recommendation to "disable legacy USB support" in the BIOS.

Blood gasesArterial blood gas analysis; ABG
Blood gases is a measurement of how much oxygen and carbon dioxide is in your blood. It also determines the acidity (pH) of your blood.
How the Test is Performed
Usually, blood is taken from an artery. The blood may be collected from the radial artery in the wrist, the femoral artery in the groin, or the brachial artery in the arm.
The health care provider may test circulation to the hand before taking a sample of blood from the wrist area.
The health care provider will insert a small needle through the skin into the artery. You can choose to have numbing medicine (anesthesia) applied to the site before the test begins.
In some cases, blood from a vein may be used.
After the blood is taken, pressure is applied to the site for a few minutes to stop the bleeding. The health care provider will watch the site for signs of bleeding or circulation problems.
The sample must be quickly sent to a laboratory for analysis to ensure accurate results.
How to Prepare for the Test
There is no special preparation. If you are on oxygen therapy, the oxygen concentration must remain constant for 20 minutes before the test.
How the Test Will Feel
You may feel brief cramping or throbbing at the puncture site.
Why the Test is Performed
The test is used to evaluate respiratory diseases and conditions that affect the lungs. It helps determine the effectiveness of oxygen therapy. The test also provides information about the body's acid/base balance, which can reveal important clues about lung and kidney function and the body's general metabolic state.
See also:
- Acidosis
- Diabetic ketoacidosis
- Lactic acidosis
- Metabolic acidosis
- Respiratory acidosis
- Respiratory alkalosis
Normal Results
Values at sea level:
- Partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) - 75 - 100 mmHg
- Partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) - 38 - 42 mmHg
- Arterial blood pH of 7.38 - 7.42
- Oxygen saturation (SaO2) - 94 - 100%
- Bicarbonate - (HCO3) - 22 - 28 mEq/L
Note: mEq/L = milliequivalents per liter; mmHg = millimeters of mercury
At altitudes of 3,000 feet and above, the oxygen values are lower.
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Abnormal results may be due to lung, kidney, or metabolic diseases. Head or neck injuries or other injuries that affect breathing can also lead to abnormal results.
There is very little risk when the procedure is done correctly. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with this test may include:
- Bleeding at the puncture site
- Blood flow problems at puncture site (rare)
- Bruising at the puncture site
- Delayed bleeding at the puncture site
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)
Tell your health care provider if you are taking any blood-thinning medications (anticoagulants), including aspirin.
Call your health care provider if you notice bleeding, bruising, numbness, tingling, or change in skin color at the puncture site.

Ubuntu has been officially ported to the Nexus 7 with most of the hardware working. I have tried to run aircrack and reaver on it and it appears as though I'm able to get into monitor mode, but nothing appears when i run airodump-ng mon0 or wash -i mon0.
Is there a way I can patch the driver (bcmsdh sdmmc) to allow injections and such? If not is there any chances of an official backtrack 5 installer for the Nexus 7?

Olive oilol-iv oyl
Probably the most widely-used oil in cooking, olive oil is pressed from fresh olives. It's…
- 2 onions, finely chopped
Onions are endlessly versatile and an essential ingredient in countless recipes. Native to Asia…
- 1kg pumpkin or squash (try kabocha), peeled, deseeded and chopped into chunks
Pumpkins are the most famous of all the winter squashes, and are most associated with Halloween…
- 700ml vegetable stock or chicken stock
- 142ml pot double cream
- 4 slices wholemeal seeded bread
- handful pumpkin seed from a packet
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan, then gently cook 2 finely chopped onions for 5 mins, until soft but not coloured. Add 1kg peeled, deseeded and chopped pumpkin or squash to the pan, then carry on cooking for 8-10 mins, stirring occasionally until it starts to soften and turn golden.
Pour 700ml vegetable stock into the pan, then season with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 mins until the squash is very soft. Pour the 142ml pot of double cream into the pan, bring back to the boil, then purée with a hand blender. For an extra-velvety consistency you can now push the soup through a fine sieve into another pan. The soup can now be frozen for up to 2 months.
While the soup is cooking, slice the crusts from 4 slices of wholemeal seed bread, then cut the bread into small croutons. Heat the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan, then fry the bread until it starts to become crisp. Add a handful of pumpkin seeds to the pan, then cook for a few mins more until they are toasted. These can be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container. Reheat the soup if needed, taste for seasoning, then serve scattered with croutons and seeds and drizzled with more olive oil, if you want.
Recipe Tip
Or why not try...Taking the tops off whole acorn squash, scooping out seeds and roasting whole until tender. Stuff with goat's cheese and basil, then cook until the cheese has melted.

Inflammation and resultant pain in the joints are usually the basic tenets of Arthritis. This joint disorder can be painful and often, a debilitating one. It can also make the joints stiff. There are many ways of dealing with this problem, but with Ayurveda, one can get to the root cause of the ailment and its presence. This helps in taking a well rounded holistic approach towards treating it with ancient know how that revolves around herbs and other natural substances which have great medicinal value, lifestyle changes, diet, exercise and Yoga, oil massages, and other methods. Arthritis is known as Sandhivata in Ayurvedic jargon.
Read on to find out how Ayurveda can help in dealing with Arthritis.
- Panchakrama Treatments: Panchakrama treatments like Vasti, Janu vasti, greeva vasti, kati vasti, elakizhi, podikizhi, pizhichil etc. are very useful treatments for Athritis. Small herbal pouches made of various herbs which are warmed in medicated oils are used to massage the entire body or specific areas like the back, neck, shoulders, hands and joints. It does away with pain to give you comfort and much strength A gentle, synchronized massage of up and down is carried out on all parts of the body other than the head with medicated oils. It is administered in seven standard positions, so that no area of the body is left uncovered. Cloth dipped in lukewarm medicated oil is squeezed over the patient's body uniformly and then the oil rubbed smoothly over the body. This treatments can last for 7-21 days depending upon the severity of the arthritis.
- Diet: In Ayurveda, to treat ailments like Arthritis, it is usually recommended that a patient should start by flushing out the body toxins from within. Diet is one of the ways in which this can be done. A detoxification diet to clean the colon would be one of the foremost ways of doing a cleanse. Further, in one's daily diet, there should be a good dose of vegetables, fruits and other juices. Also, one must have plenty of herbs and spices, which can be used to season the food. Curd should generally be avoided and garlic should be used liberally. The various properties that help in an inside out cleanse that will help the system function in a better manner so that the treatment of ailments is also effectively supported.
- Exercise: In Ayurveda, a certain amount of daily exercise, which spans at least 45 minutes to one hour, is a must. A pattern of healthy eating, restful sleep and exercise is what usually helps in treating ailments like Arthritis. For this ailment specifically, light exercise like walking is recommended. Various Yoga asanas that involve sitting, standing, balancing and lying down poses as well as restful poses will also help in treating knee, shoulder and lower back pain specifically. Also, mustard oil massages can help in reducing the pain.
These are the few ways in which Ayurveda can help Arthritis patients live a more normal life with minimal pain.
Hi, Sir Can I walk after getting stitch opened from my legs. If not after how many days can I walk? please tell me
hi I am 38 old , suffering with lumber spondylisit since 8 years. Kindly suggest me something for that
The sciatic nerve is one of the largest nerves in the body. It goes from the lower back all the way down to the base of the leg. When there is a disorder associated with the sciatic nerve, it is known as Sciatica.
Sciatica, however, does not necessarily need a surgery or a very elaborate procedure to fix the problem. Most commonly, it is treated simply by practicing a number of simple exercises. Here are some of the most common exercises prescribed to treat Sciatica:
- Reclining Pigeon Pose: There are three main forms of the pigeon pose. These are sitting, reclining and then forwarding. It is recommended that if you have very recently started your treatment for Sciatica, then certainly you should go for the reclining pose. In this pose, you are supposed to hold your left leg in the air at a right angle to your back. Then, hold your ankle against the knee. Finally, repeat this stretch with the right leg as well.
- Knee to Opposite Shoulder: In this stretch, the starting position is on your back side. You have to have your legs out and feet upwards. From this position, try to bring your right leg towards your left shoulder. Hold this for 30 seconds and then release and relax. Repeat this activity three times and repeat the whole procedure with your other leg. Only take your leg as far as it goes.
- Sitting Spinal Stretch: At the start of this exercise, sit on the ground with your legs going straight outwards and your feet flexed in the upward direction. Pull your left knee and put it on the outside of your right knee. Finally, place your right elbow on the left knee, so that your body turns to the left. Hold for 30 seconds and then relax. Repeat the procedure with the other knee.
- Standing Hamstring Stretch: Put your foot on an elevated surface such that it is above the floor, but not above hip level. Flex your toes forward such that your feet and legs are nearly in a straight line. Bend as far towards the foot as possible. However, do not stretch so far that you feel pain. Finally, repeat this procedure on the other side after release.
Lower back pain is a very common issue and can take place due to numerous reasons. However, one of its main causes is a ligament strain or back muscle strain. Microscopic tear or excessive stretching of ligaments can take place due to lifting very heavy objects, doing enormously strenuous task or due to a sudden twisted movement. These conditions are most likely to be experienced by individuals ranging between the ages of 30 and 60. Other causes of lower back pain include back injury, arthritis of back bone joints, infections in the lower back area, and in very rare cases, tumours.
In case of acute back pain, these are a few important things that should be definitely kept in mind.
- It is absolutely essential to take rest for a couple of days and avoid any sort of stressful activity. Although back pain is self-limiting, if you take proper care, it can be cured in a few days. However, if proper rest is not taken, the situation may become worse.
- Using the black belt, also known as lumbo sacral corset, is a good idea. This can actually be of enormous help to individuals who have been suffering from lower back pain for a long period of time.
- As already mentioned, one of the main causes of these kinds of mishaps are sudden jerky movements, twisted movements, heavy weight lifting etc. So, it is necessary to avoid such circumstances, or else, a more acute back pain situation may arise due to slipping of one of the discs from the spinal cord.
- As much as you like long drives and bike rides, these are a strict no. Any prolonged sitting or standing activity needs to be avoided. It is important that the tear caused in the muscles due to what-so-ever reason heals properly and prolonged stay in a tensed muscle position would definitely not help the cause.
- Although these back pains can be handled at home by following the discussed steps, using simple analgesics or muscle relaxants prescribed by the doctor can be a way to speed up the process of recovering the strained ligament.
Apart from these important steps, regular exercise to strengthen the core body muscles is a great way to avoid such ligament strains in the future. However, if you feel that even after following the precautionary measures, you problem doesn't subside, consult an experienced doctor for his advice.

Arthritis is inflammation of one or more of your joints. Pain, swelling, and stiffness are the primary symptoms of arthritis. Any joint in the body may be affected by the disease, but it is particularly common in the knee.
Knee arthritis can make it hard to do many everyday activities, such as walking or climbing stairs. It is a major cause of lost work time and a serious disability for many people. There are 2 types of arthritis the knee joint in the human body can get afflicted with. They are:
The form of arthritis which, with increasing pain, slowly wears down the joint cartilages is called osteoarthritis. This form of arthritis usually affects people after the age 40. The symptoms of osteoarthritis include:
- Severe pain in the knee joints
- Pain after walking up the stairs and it subsiding once you are on rest
- Severe pain after the movement of joints for a long time
- Pain that becomes worse in rainy days
- Joints becoming stiff after waking up in the morning but they improve in the latter part of the day
- Pain which also occurs in the thighs and the genital regions coupled with joints swelling and joints getting stiff after rest.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic form of arthritis caused because of the knee joint inflammations. This form of arthritis can occur at any age. Being an auto-immune disease, its symptoms include, but are not limited to:
- Severe pain in the morning
- Mild fever accompanying the pain
- Joints suddenly becoming swollen, red and warm causing, immense pain
- Sudden stiffness of the joints
- Pain that increases in cold weather
- Mild fever, extreme tiredness and weakening of the muscles
Doctors are still doubtful about what exactly causes the disease; but the deformation of the immune system might cause the damage of the joints, causing people who are already suffering from obesity, smokers, and women, in general, more prone to this disease.
When the knee pain is diagnosed as a form of arthritis, the following treatments are suggested:
- If you are overweight or obese, losing some of those extra pounds can go a long way in reducing the pain.
- Muscle-stretching exercises are effective in keeping the knee joints flexible.
- Dry needling, cupping, taping can help to control the pain and keep the joint supported.
- Prescribed dosage of anti-inflammatory drugs such as Tylenol, Motrin, and Advil or injections of hyaluronic acid might relieve your pain.
If regular treatments do not work, you might opt for knee-replacement surgery and osteotomy (the process of cutting a bone with the help of surgery) which might better the alignment of the knee by transforming the bone shapes.
Physiotherapy for knee arthritis
Physiotherapy treatment is aimed at improving the symptoms of the disease (i.e. knee pain, swelling, stiffness), and you should begin to notice a positive difference within one or a few physiotherapy sessions. The main goals of physiotherapy for your knee arthritis are:
- Reduce your knee pain and inflammation.
- Normalise your knee joint range of motion.
- Strengthen your knee: esp quadriceps (esp VMO) and hamstrings.
- Strengthen your lower limb: calves, hip and pelvis muscles.
- Improve your patellofemoral (knee cap) alignment and function.
- Normalise your muscle lengths.
- Improve your proprioception, agility and balance.
- Improve your technique and function eg walking, squatting. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Physiotherapist.

A stroke or paralysis can occur when the blood supply to that part of your brain is curtailed or drastically reduced. Due to this, the brain is deprived of the essential oxygen and the nutrients, and within a few minutes the brain cells can undergo severe damage and die. It is often treated as a medical emergency and can cause complications for life if left unattended.
With regards to a stroke, a quick and an immediate treatment can be the difference between life and death. It is very much mandatory to note the symptoms of stroke and to impart the treatment accordingly. Some of them can include:
- Trouble with speaking: Your speech pattern gets affected, and you may have trouble talking.
- Paralysis: When the oxygen is cut off, a part of the body can become numb thus rendering it lifeless.
- Headache: A severe headache may occur that can make the body go into spasm. Dizziness and unconsciousness can follow it.
- Walking and mobility: You would be unable to walk on your own, or there can be a huge difference in your walk pattern. Most of the times, you might not be having any control over your legs.
Risk Factors
There are many risk factors associated with stroke and paralysis. The most common one is undoubtedly overweight. Physical inactivity, alcohol abuse, and drug abuse can contribute equally to the occurrence of stroke. Cholesterol levels, high blood pressure and old age may also be risk factors. Paralysis can be the biggest drawback of stroke where one part of your body can be lost to movements. You might also lose control of your face or arm, and this can affect your walking steps. This can be a life changing factor and more than medication sometimes physical therapy heals the person to an extent.
Physiotherapy for Paralysis:
You can feel helpless and frustrated, and this can lead to depression. There are many ways by which physiotherapy can help you. The therapies are made in such a way that you can try to lead a normal life without any hindrance, and this depends on the nature of the paralysis you are undergoing. In most of the cases, a person can get back at least 60% to 70% of his/her mobility back though not completely. Also, current medicines have advanced that there is a possibility to get back the movement in the paralyzed areas.
One of the major challenges you will face is to relax as the physical feeling of helplessness can hamper your thoughts in the long run. Stay relaxed and always remember that you are not alone. Take the help of a family member or a friend. Be relaxed all the time and make a determined effort with physiotherapy exercises. Avoid the lifestyle which you had before and embark on a healthier lifestyle and make sure you watch your diet at all times. Try to indulge in your favorite pass time and over a period start your daily chores without the help of an aid. You can undergo the physiotherapy exercises for life as they can be positive even after the condition subsidies.
Spinal surgery becomes inevitable when back pain cannot be managed with medications and/or exercise. This is a major decision and requires planning for many things before, during, and after the surgery.
Before a spinal surgery- This preparation will help in smooth recovery, especially if you do not have a full-time caretaker.
Discontinue pain killers: Discontinue pain killers at least 10 to 14 days before surgery. These are blood thinners and can prolong bleeding during the surgery.
Prepare for blood loss: Most people experience some blood loss, but not excessive.
Use a toilet seat raiser: Sitting and getting up from the toilet seat may be difficult. The seat raiser is used to increase the height, making this movement easy.
Enable easy access to common items: Before heading for the surgery, keep things which are commonly used within easy reach. This will help reduce movement and avoid searching (especially if someone else is going to be doing it).
Stock it up: Cooking may not be feasible during the initial postop period, and so it is advisable to stock up food items (ready to eats, fruits, soups, etc.) which will come in handy.
Slip-ons: Bending down and tying shoes may not be easy, so slip-ons can be used.
Caregiving: It is always advisable to have someone stay over with you during the initial postop days. They could help with regular household chores, cooking, etc.
Lifestyle changes: Ensure you eat well in the days before surgery, quit smoking, quit/use moderate amounts of alcohol, and exercise as advised by your surgeon.
After Surgery- Post surgery, there will be some pain and limitation of movement. It is important to understand that adherence to post-op instructions will improve the success rate of the surgery. Also, recovery time for spine surgery is slightly longer and affects overall quality of life, so psychological preparation is required.
Postoperative medications: These will be given to control infection and pain in the immediate postop period, and should be taken without fail
Rehab: The surgeon will recommend physical therapy and rehab exercises which need to be followed. Complete recovery may take anywhere between 3 to 12 months. During this time, care should be taken to avoid repeat injury.
Support: Adequate back support should be provided using lumbar support and ergonomic chairs, and the right posture should be maintained. Ensure there is no undue strain on the back muscles.
Weight management: With excess weight, there is too much strain on the lower disks. Therefore, weight should be managed to reduce this strain.
Smoking and alcohol should be completely stopped, as healing can be hampered.
With some preparation, spinal surgery can be sailed through smoothly.
The spine plays a very crucial role, both from a person's movement and sensation point of view. It carries the nervous supply for a lot of internal organs and the lower body. By virtue of its structure, it also helps in movement through the disks. Due to various reasons, spinal injury is common, causing pain along the back, lower extremities, neck etc.
Medicines and exercise are the first line of treatment for most spinal injuries. The issue, however, is that these only provide relief from the pain and the medicines, but do not actually 'rectify' the underlying problem. Whether it is a herniated disk or a pinched nerve, the medicines and exercise can relieve the symptoms, but the disk continues to be herniated and the nerve continues to be pinched. Definite treatment is in the form of surgery, and with recent advancements in the field of spinal surgery, there are minimally invasive surgical options, which provide complete cure with minimal recovery time. Some of the benefits of this are listed below-
Smaller incision compared to traditional surgical procedures, where only the injured area is accessed
The surrounding tissues are untouched, unless they are injured and require repair
Lesser bleeding compared to earlier techniques
Lesser painful procedure
Reduced hospitalization period
Quicker recovery and return to normal activities
The question, however, is whether this is indicated in everybody. A detailed discussion with your surgeon keeping the below points in mind will help identify the answer for this. The main driver should be the answer to the question – will the surgery be able to effectively relieve you of the pain and symptoms? Additionally, the following factors help in getting better results out of a minimally invasive spinal surgery.
Presence of symptoms relating to nerve compression, including pain from the spine down the leg.
Recent onset of symptoms, with pain starting days to months before seeing the doctor. This indicates the condition is relatively new and so damage is minimal, indicating favorable outcome. Chronic pain conditions take slightly longer time compared to recent injuries.
People with active lifestyle who engage in regular physical exercise are likely to have better benefits from the minimally invasive procedure.
Smoking reduces blood flow to the spine, leading to disk degeneration and weakening of bones. Healing is highly slowed down and recovery is overall delayed.
Excessive weight puts strain on the back, and so healing can be delayed or badly affected with more complications. It is not a contraindication, but be prepared for a longer recovery period.
Talk to your doctor keeping these points in mind, and you can bid farewell to your back pain forever. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Neurosurgeon.

On her blog, Deepa D. posted about what she calls the "Slumdog Shooting technique," using this video from Greenpeace about climate change:
Deepa says,
Ishan Tankha, photographer…sitting in casually imperial isolation on one of the many historical monuments peppering Delhi…
Meanwhile every other shot? The gaudy, public, and exotically poor street life of Delhi. At most we get some middle class women shopping, some Metro commuters, and Ishan riding his bike in front of the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
But even as he is saying climate change spans all classes, there are no other young, upper class people like him, no rich people, no half-naked-out-of-fashion-rather-than-poverty women, no fat cat industrialists or cavalcade-riding politicians, no indication that there are any of the Westernised English speaking people on the streets, even though Ishan has been chosen spokesperson.
I'm calling this the Slumdog Shooting technique – use English because you don't want to alienate your Western audience with subtitles, but keep the local colour full of attractive yet needy children, crowds that look struggling, and picturesque poverty.

By: Gayatri R. Rao, M.D., J.D.
When President Reagan signed the Orphan Drug Act 30 years ago, he enacted a critically important piece of health care legislation. The passage of this Act on January 4, 1983, was monumental because it created—for the first time—incentives to develop desperately needed medical products for Americans suffering with rare diseases. Until that point, development of such products was very limited. For instance, in the decade leading up to the passage of the Orphan Drug Act, only 10 industry-supported products for rare diseases were brought to market.
The Office of Orphan Products Development (OOPD) was formed at FDA more than 30 years ago, prior to the passage of the Orphan Drug Act, because FDA recognized that rare diseases, when taken together, posed a significant national public health issue. Once the Orphan Drug Act was passed, OOPD became responsible for administering the incentive programs created to spur the development of medical products for rare diseases, namely the Orphan Drug Designation Program and the Orphan Products Grants Program. These products include drugs, biologics, medical devices, and medical foods for the treatment of rare diseases.
As FDA commemorates the passage of this important legislation, we look back over the last 30 years with pride. Since its passage, over 2700 products in development have been designated as orphan drugs through the Orphan Drug Designation Program and over $290 million has been awarded to clinical studies through the Orphan Products Grants Program. These programs, along with the critical, collective efforts of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research's (CDER) Rare Diseases Program, and those of many individuals across FDA, have helped to bring over 400 orphan products for rare diseases to the market.
We also commemorate the more than 30 years of dedicated service from every member of the rare disease community:
- the patient advocates, who spurred national awareness about the challenges that people with rare diseases face and who continue to support families, educate the community, and drive research into their diseases;
- the legislators who heard the voices of rare disease advocates and worked to champion the passage of the Orphan Drug Act;
- the research community, which continues to leverage resources and foster collaborations among academia and industry stakeholders;
- the clinicians, who support the medical needs of families with rare diseases and work to advocate on behalf of the community;
- and industry, including pharmaceutical and biotech companies, angel investors, and venture capitalists who, in the spirit of the Orphan Drug Act, have come together to develop products for rare diseases.
Our many successes give us a reason to celebrate 30 years of hard work to provide diagnostic or treatment options to those with rare diseases. But we are keenly aware that there is still a challenging road ahead. We at FDA remain firmly committed to working with the rare disease community to tackle those challenges and to find new diagnostic tools and treatments for the millions of patients with rare diseases.
Gayatri R. Rao, M.D., J.D., is Director for The Office of Orphan Products Development

Kentucky Gymnastics Set For SEC Championship
By Jacob Most
March 22, 2013 -
Friday Practice Photos |
Meet Notes
Championship Central | Live Scoring
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - The No. 19 Kentucky gymnastics team enters Saturday's SEC Championship riding a school-record streak of four-straight scores more than 196.
Kentucky is coming off a program-record performance 196.775 at then-No. 16 Penn State last Saturday as UK set the school record for the second time in the last three weeks.
The meet, which will feature all eight SEC teams, will begin inside Verizon Arena at approximately 3:05 p.m. ET. Live scoring will be available at UKathletics.com.
Alexis Gross enters the nation's most competitive conference meet as the reigning SEC Specialist of the Week. The sophomore enjoyed perhaps the best meet of her career when she won her first two collegiate event titles with career high scores on uneven bars and balance beam.
The Pasadena, Md., native earned a Kentucky season-high balance beam score of 9.95, garnering a 10.0 from judge two in the process. She claimed the BB title leading UK to a school-record beam score of 49.475.
Her beam score was third-highest in school history behind two-time NCAA Balance Beam Champion Jenny Hansen and Heather Hite.
Earlier against Penn State, Gross claimed her first career 9.9 in any event to win uneven bars, the first event title of her career. She is the first Wildcat to garner scores of 9.9 or higher in multiple events at the same meet this season.
Gross is the first Wildcat to claim a SEC weekly award since Andrea Mitchell claimed Gymnast of the Week in March 2011.
Audrey Harrison also enters the meet with a league leading six all-around titles from seven 2013 conference meets. Her seven total AAs this season ranks second in the nation.
Kentucky is the SEC No. 7 seed and will compete in session I at the Championship on Saturday.
As the No. 7 seed, Kentucky will begin on balance beam, and rotate to floor exercise, vault and then uneven bars to end the competition.
SEC Championship seeding was determined by regional qualifying score (RQS) rankings released Monday by GymInfo.
The SEC champion will be determined by the team with the highest score regardless of session.
Seven of the eight SEC Championship participants are currently ranked in the national top-25.
Kentucky is ranked No. 19 nationally with a new school-record 196.060 RQS. Saturday's Championship is Kentucky's final competition before the NCAA Regional Championship field is announced Monday, March 25 at 3 p.m.
The Wildcats tied the school-record SEC Championship finish (fifth) last season.
Kentucky is ranked No. 25 on vault, No. 21 on uneven bars and No. 15 on beam.
Tickets for the SEC Championships are available at www.SECDigitalNetwork.com or by calling Ticketmaster at (800) 745-3000.
The 2013 SEC Gymnastics Championship will be aired March 28 at 5:30 p.m. ET on ESPNU and again on March 30 at 7:00 p.m. ET on ESPN.

Pennington Headlines UK's Performance at SEC Fall Invite
Sept. 22, 2013
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Sophomore and Bowling Green, Ky., native Beck Pennington lead the charge in the 2013 Southeastern Conference Fall Invitational this weekend, advancing to the semifinals of the tournament.
"Overall I felt like I had a good tournament this weekend," Pennington said. "I'm finally feeling more confident on the court and I have learned what I need to do in practice in order to win the type of matches that I will be playing in like the semifinals today."
Along the way, Pennington knocked off three ranked opponents beating three players ranked in the latest release of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's singles and doubles rankings.
In the opening round, Pennington knocked off No. 40 Matle Stropp of Mississippi State, 6-3, 7-6. After a win in the second round, Pennington defeated Texas A&M's Behzad Mijavi, also in straight sets, coming away with a 6-1, 6-4 win to advance to the Elite Eight.
"Overall, I feel like we are steadily showing improvement," UK head coach Cedric Kauffmann said. "This weekend was a step in the right direction. We as a staff have very high expectations for this team. We need to get back to work to be in position to win in the spring."
In the round of eight, Pennington faced off against No. 105 Daniel Cochrane of Auburn University, who he took care of in straight sets, 6-4, 6-3. The highlight win of the weekend would come on Saturday afternoon, as Pennington dismissed No. 14 Tsveton Mihov of South Carolina in straight sets 6-4, 3-6, 6-2.
Pennington would see his run come to an end on Sunday morning, with a 7-5, 7-6 (4) loss to Austin Smith of the Georgia Bulldogs in the Final Four.
"I was proud of the way Beck competed this weekend," Kauffmann said. "His hard work is paying off. I look forward to watching him develop into an impact player for us." "Overall I felt like I had a good tournament this weekend," Pennington said. "I'm finally feeling more confident on the court and I have learned what I need to do in practice in order to win the type of matches that I will be playing in like the semifinals today."
Tom Jomby, who was the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament was knocked out in the Sweet 16 after picking up two wins over Justin Butsch of LSU in the round of 32, and Rhys Johnson of Vanderbilt, 7-5, 3-6, 7-2.
Jomby teamed up with Kevin Lai, who are currently No. 4 in the nation for doubles, as the pair fell in the opening round, 8-6.
At the Caviler Invitational in Charlottesville, Va., Ryuji Hirooka, who advanced to the consolation finals of the white division bracket, picking up a key 6-3, 6-0 win over Pedro Dumont of Wake Forest along the way, led the Wildcats in singles play. Hirooka then knocked off Joe Salisbury of Memphis, 2-6, 7-5, 6-3 to advance to the finals.
Panav Jha and Alejandro Gomez were also in action for UK on the weekend, with Jha dropping three matches over the course of the weekend and then Gomez having a solid showing in the Blue Consolation Bracket.
After dropping his first two matches, Gomez defeated Joao Montiero of Virginia Tech, 7-5, 7-6, before collecting a straight set, 6-3, 6-1 win over Alexander Maisin of Binghamton.
