Extractions: Naj Gil, Hubero and Orrhn had been Peacekeeper prisoners, sent out in a Transport Pod as test targets for a new Peackkeeper weapon. While Markir Tal was performing a pre-flight check on the pod, Naj Gil overpowered him and the group escaped. The weapon struck their pod, but the craft survived long enough to carry them to freedom. While examining the fugitives' pod, Hubero told Crichton and Chiana that there had been a fifth passenger aboard, a Boolite . The PK weapon had blasted this creature into fragments. However, because Boolite body parts can survive independently for some time, Hubero urged Crichton and Chiana to help gather the pieces and reconstruct the creature.

Extractions: When to apply conservative therapy, when to take an aggressive approach Andrew D. Perron, MD; William J. Brady, MD; Theodore A. Keats, MD VOL 111 / NO 2 / FEBRUARY 2002 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE CME learning objectives The authors disclose no financial interest in this article. Preview : Most stress fractures can be diagnosed and treated by primary care physicians in a straightforward manner. However, it is important to be able to distinguish between injuries that heal with rest and injuries that put the patient at high risk for long-term morbidity. In this article, Drs Perron, Brady, and Keats describe how certain clues from history taking and physical examination can lead to the correct diagnosis and treatment. An earlier article by the authors (September 2001) presented general information on stress fractures.
Foot And Ankle Conditions: Fractures Of The Talus fractures of the Talus The talus is a critical bone of the ankle joint. It connects the leg and the foot. The talus is involved in multiple planes of movement. http://www.drmyerson.com/conditions/trauma/fractures_talus.html
Extractions: The talus is a critical bone of the ankle joint. It connects the leg and the foot. The talus is involved in multiple planes of movement. It joins (articulates) the ankle joint and is responsible for the upward and downward movement (dorsiflexion and plantarflexion) of the ankle. In addition, it joins the heel bone (the calcaneus) where it is responsible for the majority of the inward and outward movement (inversion and eversion) of the foot. Injuries of the talus may therefore effect both the ankle and subtalar joint and affect multiple planes of movement of the foot and ankle. These injuries range from relatively minor chips or fragments that are broken off the edges of the talus to very serious fractures that can be quite devastating. Treatment of fractures of the talus is quite varied. This ranges from immobilization of the foot in a cast or boot to surgery. If surgery is performed it is usually done with incisions and then the bone is put back together with a procedure called open reduction and internal fixation. Pins and/or screws are used to reduce and hold the bone in place.

Stress fractures usually take time to develop and the symptoms are pain, redness and swelling. X-rays are usually only positive after about three weeks of symptoms. In some cases, a bone scan is necessary to make the diagnosis. Again, treatment for this condition, like most conditions of the foot, requires immobilization, ice and compression. Orthotics are the best treatment for long-term control of stress fractures. Immediate control would consist of a

Extractions: Coding Manual Updates Stand Strong Against Osteoporosis FACTS ON FRACTURES One out of every two women over the age of 50 will experience an osteoporosis-related fracture in her lifetime. Another 20 percent will die each year due to an osteoporosis-related complication, such as hip fracture. Unfortunately, many women do not realize they are at risk for osteoporosis until they suffer a fracture, and most are unaware of the devastating effects of the disease. Following are important facts every woman should know about osteoporotic fractures. Osteoporosis causes 1.5 million fractures each year, most often in the hip, spine and wrist; consider the following statistics: When bones become thin and weak due to osteoporosis, everyday activities such as walking - even sneezing - can cause them to fracture. The spine and hips, which directly support the body's weight, are at greatest risk. The risk of hip fracture for a woman is equivalent to her combined risk of breast, ovarian and uterine cancer
