...cause pain and problems and over time can lead to other orthopedic issues such as improper body mechanics. Overuse of one side of the body can cause injury to the opposite side of the body because the patient does not treat the immediate issue of getting a knee evaluated for total joint replacement or arthroplasty. The main causes of body breakdown are poor diet, lack of exercise and not getting treatment early enough for minor injuries, which leads to early onset of arthritis. Screening is available to assess bone loss but this test is only available with an order from a physician. Poor diet and attention to the amounts of food people are consuming is a hot topic in the media and in public schools. The volume of food consumed has risen and people waistlines have expanded as a result. Schools are changing the foods they offer and the number of calories children can eat at lunch. Removing vending machines and extra snacks from their daily choices of food is happening in schools too. There is a diet option that not many people know about that when implemented into children’s diets and an early age and continued throughout life can help with obesity that has a direct link to orthopedic health. Super foods give other nutrients the body needs in addition to calcium to maintain a healthy body.

Jake’s actions are within the duty of care of his job, he is an auto mechanic technician and he takes pride in doing his job to the fullest degree. Auto mechanics “performs basic care maintenance, such as oil changes and tire rotations, diagnose more complex problems, and plan and execute vehicle repairs.” (Automotive service technicians, n.d., (¶ 1) There was a breach of duty, due to the overtime that Jake worked because of the free oil change promotion offer by the owner of the car dealership. Jake hurt his thumb while working on a car; he said, “I tried to tighten my thumb with a torque wrench.” (Drama of Law, n.d.)

...1. A union exists and Dinesh is a part of it. 2. Since this problem exists elsewhere in the organization the training program can be organization wide. Since mechanists are not skilled labour and still they get away without being fired shows that the organization is one, which has a union. Since Ganesh has no complaints with the work that Dinesh does and since Dinesh is known for his temper and alcoholism Dinesh seems to be facing some kind of problem in family or factory. He is not someone who evades work by nature or is ineffective but only reacts badly to situations a few times. He is facing some kind of pressure and when it becomes too much he takes his anger out on someone in the work place. The fact that he has been with the organization for 5 years seem to suggest that he feels fairly experienced and does not want the supervisor to tell him to do things other than what he was already doing. "Critical Incidents Method" can be used effectively here. The work of a mechanist is quite routine and does not need constant appraisal. It would be better if the appraisal system were such that it only takes into account special events. Since this kind of behaviour exists elsewhere in the job it suggests that there is some sort of pressure in the job. This could also be caused due to the monotonous nature of the work. A training program designed to release stress can prove beneficial here. Yoga is something that comes to mind immediately. The problem of the...

...persuade him by convincing him that it is more of a regular chit-chatting type of interview instead of those formal ones. Upon accepting our request and started conversing we found out that he is a rather hilarious person, occasionally slipping some jokes in every question we ask. He is pretty easygoing and seemed to be the kind of person with lots of experience in life. We started by asking his name and he made us guess by hinting that his name coincides with the first Prime Minister of Malaysia. He also made us guess his age, which we almost got right by saying that he’s probably in his late 30’s or early 40’s. Our interviewee is Mr. Abdul Rahman, a 41-year old retiree in the automobile mechanics service for Proton (a Malaysian automobile company) currently not doing much of a work due to a bone fracture accident on his right leg when he was travelling to Australia as part of his past job requirements in 2005. This was solely the reason why he retired from the field as he was advised to stop engaging in heavy workloads for recovery....

Being an auto mechanic is not a job for everyone, but I believe it is the right job for me. Being an auto mechanic requires many different things including having a wide range of tools, extensive knowledge about the automobiles and the to work on them everyday. One of the most important purchases for a mechanic is his tools. One of the requirements for just about every auto mechanic job is that you bring your own tools. The reason for this is that while mechanics are trusted to work on vehicles, If a shop provided them tools to do work there would be no guarantee that the tools would be put back where in...

...Microfracture surgery is not a perfect solution to repairing torn or damage cartilage but it is the preferred method to repair knee cartilage. It has been performed on many professional athletes who have seen their careers continued on with the advancements of medicine. Microfracture is used as a surgical option for a patient who is diagnosed with damaged cartilage and is in need of treatment to correct the deformity. Microfracture is performed in an attempt to stimulate new growth by the cartilage. When it was first used, “Microfracture was originally developed for the treatment of acute traumatic cartilage defects. It is generally indicated for traumatic and degenerative focal high-grade chondral lesions of the weight-bearing femoral condyles, trochlea, patella, and tibia” (Mithoefer, K., & Steadman, R. J. (2006). The Microfracture Technique . Chestnut Hill, MA). There are many factors to assess before a decision is to be made to have microfracture surgery or not. Some of the factors to attribute to the decision but are not limited to whether a patient has limited areas of cartilage, pain or swelling caused by damage to the cartilage and patients who are active participants in sports or activities but are not limited due to their symptoms. Patients who are not active in sports or activities, unwilling to participate with rehabilitation following surgery or have widespread arthritis in joints.

...Osteoporosis Author's Name Institutional Affiliation Osteoporosis Introduction Osteoporosis is a bone disease whereby the bone is prone to fracture. The name “osteoporosis”comes from a Greek word that means “ bone pore” (Rubenstein, et al 2007). What happens here is the bone mineral density (BMD) starts to reduce. The microarchitecture also reduces in the bone prompting the protein variety to be changed. WHO (1994) defines this condition as having a BMD of 2.5 standard deviation from the normal bone mass. Typically, there two types of osteoporosis namely: type 1 and type 2 .Type 1 osteoporosis mainly occurs in women after menopause. It is also referred to as “postmenopause osteoporosis”. Type 2 often happens after the age of 75. The latter affects men and women in the ratio of 1:2 respectively. There is also secondary osteoporosis which occurs in both men and women of all ages. This type of osteoporosis is rare as it is mostly as a result of lifestyle (Rubenstein, et al. 2007). Lifestyle change is key in the reduction of secondary osteoporosis (Calvert & Old, 2004). Diet change is essential in keeping the disease away. This entails a more healthy diet full of nutrients and loads of water. Exercise is also important but one has to keep in mind that the exercise regime has to be safe. By doing this one avoids fractures. History of Osteoporosis A biologist called Astley Cooper was the first to discover the existence of this condition. Nevertheless, Jean lobstein a...
