Signs you have sustained a knee ligament injury - ACL and MCL Back then in my preclinical medical school days, anatomy was one of the very difficult courses. Not as though it was really that difficult but it requires a level of acute memory. You need to be able to find a way to describe what you see with your eyes on a daily basis. Even worse, how about those things you cannot see normally? Well, there was a provision of a human cadaver for dissection, but this is a story for another day. Ligaments are structures in the body that connect one bone to another. They are important for the mov ..read more

insomnia; Photo credits: sleepreviewmag.com What is sleep deprivation? What causes it? What are the effects and how can it be managed? Insomnia or lack of sleep leads to sleep deprivation and Jonathan Lethem, an American novelist, essayist and short-story writer, described it in his book, "Motherless Brooklyn", as follows; "Insomnia is a variant of Tourette's -- the waking brain races, sampling the world after the world has turned away, touching it everywhere, refusing to settle, to join the collective nod.

 A few years ago, I strangely began to experience body itching after I take a bath. I was in school, in a new environment, the water was expected to be different from how it had always been back at home and I knew I needed to make some changes too. The first thing that I needed to try was to change my soup, use water antiseptics and change my bathing sponge altogether. I did all these but the condition did not seem to improve. Things were getting more serious. As usual, when I experience things like this, I go the extra length to check the internet for what the condition may likely b ..read more
