Dance is a beautiful form of expression, but it could be physically taxing and strenuous on the human body, particularly for children and adolescents. A new study by researchers at the Center for Injury Research and Policy of The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital examined dance-related injuries among children and adolescents 3 to 19 years of age from 1991 to 2007. During the 17-year study period, an estimated 113,000 children and adolescents were treated in U.S. emergency departments for dance-related injuries. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2013-02-dance-related-injuries-children-adolescents-video.html Health Mon, 11 Feb 2013 15:50:04 EST news279819595 (Medical Xpress)—People holding guns perceive other people holding guns, according to a new study published this fall by a Colorado State University researcher. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-12-people-guns.html Psychology & Psychiatry Thu, 20 Dec 2012 07:06:08 EST news275209556 (AP) -- A panel of arthritis experts has recommended that the federal government allow continued testing of an experimental class of pain drugs for arthritis, despite links to bone decay and joint failure http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-03-fda-panel-pain-drugs.html Medications Mon, 12 Mar 2012 17:07:43 EST news250790831 As all-terrain vehicle (ATV) use continues to grow, so does the number of injuries.
