Indian spice offers hope for Tendinitis pain

Curcumin, a derivative of a common culinary spice found in Indian curries, could help cure painful inflammatory conditions, such as tendinitis and arthritis, researchers say.

According to findings of the study embarked by the researchers at the University of Nottingham in the U.K. and Ludwig-Maxmillians University in Munich, Germany, regular use of curcumin helps suppress biological mechanisms that trigger inflammation in tendon diseases.

High heels up arthritis risk--study

All those fashionable women out there who just love wearing killer heels might need to rethink before wearing stylish footwears as researchers warn against their dangerous joint disorders.

According to the findings of a new Brit study, women who wear heels or inappropriate footwears are more likely to develop arthritis later in life as compared to women who prefer wearing flats or wear heels occasionally.

Genetic link discovered for bone disease

An international team led by University of Edinburgh has discovered three genes which may lead to the progress of Paget’s disease, a chronic disorder that results in enlarged and deformed bone.

The team of scientists from UK, Spain, Australia, and New Zealand, claim that genes control the rate at which bones are repaired, and may provide the reasons for the development of the disease.

Paget's disease, commonly observed at an older age and in women, interrupts the body's normal method of breaking and replacing old bone, leading to bone pain, brittle bones, and advanced arthritis.
