'game' punch groin doctor injuries

shared by Desire'e Redus on 30 Jun 10 - Cached
  • An msnbc.com poll of 100 urologists, conducted by Truth On Call, showed that 30 percent of the doctors had seen or treated pre-teen and teen boys for testicular trauma in the past year, including severe injuries caused by so-called “sack-tapping,” in which boys ambush others at school and elsewhere.
  • The issue was highlighted by news last week that a 14-year-old Minnesota boy, David Gibbons, had to have his right testicle removed after a hallway assault. “This is, in fact, a form of bullying,” Atala said. “Someone may do that without realizing the consequences of their actions.”

  • Bruises, blood clots, testicular torsion — in which the organ twists up to 360 degrees — and, more rarely, testicular rupture, all are consequences of blunt force trauma to the testicles, including injuries caused by close-range punches.

  • Based on in-person interviews with 1,381 girls and 1,386 boys ages 15 to 19 in 2006-2008, more than four in 10 never-married teens in the USA have had intercourse at least once, Abma and her co-authors estimate.

teen health ears music decibels

  • The amount of energy in the noise and the damage it can do to your hearing increases very rapidly as it gets louder. In fact, noise energy doubles for every 3 decibels (3dB) increase in the loudness of the sound - and 3dB is such a small increase in loudness that you probably wouldn't even notice it.
  • What sort of noise causes the harm? For young people in particular, the most dangerous noise is amplified music, for example in gigs and clubs. Headphones, car stereos and mobile phones are also having a bad effect on the hearing of young people.
  • Research shows that 25% of people listen to headphones at a level that will cause hearing damage. Follow the 60/60 rule - don't have your player above 60% of the maximum volume, and don't listen to it for more than 60 minutes at a time.

  • One study suggests that listening to headphones at 80% for 90 minutes a day can lead to hearing loss. The authors say that this can take years for the damage to show up, so young people might not notice a loss of hearing until they are in their late 20s. At 100% for only five minutes you could do damage.
  • dulled hearing difficulty in understanding speech feeling full inside your ears ringing or high-pitched noise in your ears
  • In night clubs - where much of the damage is done - do not stay long, don't go too often and keep well away from the loudspeakers - or go somewhere else where the music is not so loud.

    A Florida teenager who came face-to-snout with a 10-foot alligator made a split-second choice that likely saved his life, but cost him his arm. Kaleb Langdale, 17, really showed his courage when he smiled and joked through the pain and loss of his right arm.

    This is a very wonderful story based on pregnancy I think that girl's should not have any abortion's because you should never been doing what you was doing. Don't go get a abortion and your killing yourself and your baby. This is going to come back on you and you will have dreams about it. You will start wondering I should of keep my baby. Instead you drop him like he/she was some trash I really don't get why do females kill there baby. It will keep going on and on. If you don't want a baby now I suggest you find safety and protection if you don't want one. You just got to think about the living of it you killed your child that you had it really don't make any sence why you did what you did to have it. Question did you know that you had it.
