| Sports Medicine Emerges as Leading Authority in Field It Helped ...
PARSIPPANY, N.J., Aug. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Wolters Kluwer Health, a global provider of drug and medical information services and content to the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries, announced that Adis Sports Medicine has achieved the highest Impact Factor ranking in its category, making it the most frequently cited journal by researchers on the subject of sports medicine. Launched in 1984 when sports medicine was still in its infancy, Sports Medicine was the first journal to focus on publishing review articles on the topic of sports science. All during that time -- with the same founding editor at the helm -- its editorial has stayed true to the fast-growing field and, although in the past few years it has been a serious contender, this is the first year it has taken the top Impact Factor slot.
Few know physiatrits could help with pain
CHICAGO, Oct. 8 Only 1 percent of U.S. adults know the term "physiatrist," a physician specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation, a U.S. survey found.
However, 67 percent of those surveyed by L.C. Williams & Associates Research Group for the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation said they could benefit from medical care provided by a physiatrist -- once the specialty was defined for them.
Physiatrists, or rehabilitation physicians, specialize in non-surgical management of a full range of conditions including low back, shoulder and neck pain, tendonitis, arthritis, osteoporosis, sports injuries, or more complex conditions such as spinal cord injuries, stroke and cardiac rehabilitation and traumatic brain injuries, using advanced diagnostic techniques and treatment options.
This Crisis Demands a Reappraisal of Who We Are and What Progress ...
Last year Joshuah Stolaroff, who has written a PhD on the subject, sent me some provisional costings, of £256-£458 per tonne of carbon. This makes the capture of CO2 from the air roughly three times as expensive as the British government's costings for building wind turbines, twice as expensive as nuclear power, slightly cheaper than tidal power and eight times cheaper than rooftop solar panels in the UK. But I suspect his figures are too low, as they suggest this method is cheaper than catching CO2 from purpose-built power stations, which cannot be true. The Kyoto protocol, whose replacement the Bali meeting will discuss, has failed. Since it was signed, there has been an acceleration in global emissions: the rate of CO2 production exceeds the IPCC's worst case and is now growing faster than at any time since the beginning of the industrial revolution.
