Posted In: Mobile phone users suffering from 'text neck'
The affliction, caused by flexing the neck for extended periods of time, can be a forerunner of permanent arthritic damage if it goes without treatment. Cases of the repetitive strain injury are on the rise as smart phones and tablet computers such as the iPad become increasingly popular, experts said. In severe cases the muscles can eventually adapt to fit the flexed position, making it painful to straighten the neck out properly. One chiropractor said her company had treated thousands of patients for the condition, which can also result in headaches and shoulder, arm and wrist pain.

Posted In: Former BB star Imogen Thomas has launched a blistering attack on Katie Price – telling pals: “She looks like a transvestite.”
And in the latest salvo of what I’m calling Dannygate after the ex-model’s dalliance with rugby player Danny Cipriani, 23, furious Imogen has told pals: “Out of every woman in the world, her?! She’s such a slag.” Imogen, 28, has been with Danny since July. She thought they had a future. But now all Imogen’s plans are off after pictures showed him leaving his home barefoot with Katie the morning after an evening together. Former Miss Wales Imogen fumed: “He’s such a liar. You don’t spend ages telling someone about your issues and how women have treated you then go do something like that.” Imogen was putting on a brave face when she appeared at the Inspiration Awards For Women in London on Friday – but photos of Danny cosying up to mum-of-three Katie, 33, had her tweeting in fury on Thursday: “Danny Cipriani is the biggest bull******r out there.” It’s not their first clash over guys – Katie dated Jermain Defoe after Imogen split with him in 2009. Now I can’t wait to hear what Katie has to say about all this.....
Posted In: Spanish bullfighter Juan Jose Padilla could lose his vision after a dangerous run-in with a bull.
A bull brutally gored a matador in Spain on Friday, tearing through the man's jaw and pushing out his eyeball as spectators watched in horror. "I can't see, I can't see anything," Juan Jose Padilla, 39, shouted as he was rushed out of the ring while bleeding profusely and cupping his protruding eye. The 1,120-pound animal had chased the bullfighter and pinned him to the ground, goring him after he tripped. Television images caught the horrifying scene. The bull, named Marques, was the second fighting beast Padilla had faced during the second day of the annual Virgen del Pilar festivities in Zaragoza. Padilla was rushed to emergency facilities at the Misericordia bullring before being driven to the hospital. A statement from the Miguel Servet Hospital said he was in a stable condition after a five-hour operation to repair his face. The hospital said Padilla was likely to suffer facial paralysis and lose sight in one eye. The hospital said he suffered eye, bone, muscle and skin damage when the bull pinned him to the ground. Surgeons had not been able to repair a severed facial nerve. Surgeons used titanium plates and mesh to reconstruct parts of Padilla's face.
