London (PRWEB UK) 26 March 2014 As the body ages it can sustain minor and sometimes major injuries to the skeletal structure, the bones turn brittle and many people develop degenerative diseases that can particularly affect the joints, causing pain and limiting movement. One of the leading causes of stiffness, pain and lack of mobility is arthritis or more specifically osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis which causes damage to the cartilage of the joints and can ultimately cause the bones to grind into each other, bringing extreme pain to the joint area. Those with osteoarthritis may sustain partial or complete damage to the knee or hip joint, and although receiving an earlier diagnosis can help alleviate most of the pain through various treatments currently available, those over the age of 50 usually require some form of surgery as a long-term solution for these degenerative joint diseases. Unfortunately, even after receiving joint replacement surgery, a minimum rate of 10 percent develops osteolysis post surgery, which is an inflammatory reaction to particles of the implant in the surrounding bones. This requires revision surgery to exchange implants in the joint that is usually less successful than the first one and typically expensive. Across the … Continue reading →

Chelsea Manning, who last year announced her gender transition, has petitioned a Kansas court to legally recognize her chosen name, Chelsea Elizabeth Manning. Manning, who is currently serving a 35 year sentence for leaking classified documents to WikiLeaks, has also requested hormone replacement therapy, according to an announcement from her support network. In the face of military opposition, the American Civil Liberties Union plans to assist attorney David Coombs in advocating for Chelseas right to receive [hormone replacement therapy], according to the announcement. There is already precedent in federal courts establishing this right for transgender prisoners. We are confident that with adequate public and legal pressure, the military court and military prison system will follow suit. Military prisons do not provide hormone replacement therapy or other transition support because of a blanket ban on transgender service members. But, as Salon has previously noted, an expert commission has recently called on the Obama Administration to drop the policy prohibiting trans people from serving. The Williams Institute estimates that around 15,500 trans personnel are currently in the military, though, because of the prohibition on out trans service members, they have been forced to serve in secret. The commission concluded that facilitating trans … Continue reading →

by Jennifer Kraus Consumer Investigator NASHVILLE, Tenn.-- Hormone replacement therapy was a multimillion-dollar business for one Nashville company, but did high pressure sales tactics put patients at risk? We now have an inside look at the way HRC Medical tried to entice people to sign up for its lucrative and controversial program. The state shut down HRC for deceptive business practices after NewsChannel 5 Investigates raised questions about patients being overdosed on hormones at its Nashville clinic. Now, a training video produced by HRC Medical for its clinics around the country has surfaced. It was supposed to teach the company's salespeople how to get patients to commit to a year's worth of hormone therapy -- without undergoing a single medical test. Don Hale, one of the two founders of HRC Medical, appears in the nearly 12-minute video, explaining how HRC wants its salespeople to "close the deal." "What I'm going to try to do today is give you an outline of what to do in a consult and how we want it handled," Hale said in the video. The video was shown in court as part of the state's long running lawsuit against Don Hale and his brother Dan, who … Continue reading →
