In a retrospective review of 19 years worth of emergency room data concerning injuries to children younger than 2 years, 80% involved cribs and roughly 2 in 3 involved falls, proving an &#8220;unacceptable level of danger.&#8221; So although using the baby crib you were raised in could save some money, maybe you&#8217;ll want to think twice.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Cell Phones\" href=\"http:\/\/firstwatch.jwatch.org\/cgi\/content\/short\/2011\/223\/3?rss=1&amp;q=mednews_home&amp;eaf\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Effects of Cell Phone Radio frequency Signal Exposure on Brain Glucose Metabolism<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>&#8211; At some point, cell phones were going to be shown to influence our health (everything does). And although this study is cursory at best, it could be the match that lights the fire. Using a PET scan to show altered glucose metabolism in the area of the brain nearest the antenna &#8211; with no known consequence &#8211; this study does hint that cellular signals affect us on a physiologic level.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Knee Replacement\" href=\"http:\/\/www.eurekalert.org\/pub_releases\/2011-02\/aaoo-tkr020711.php\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Knee Replacement Surgery?

However, this study now provides a little more to think about. Published by the Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, it showed that replacing both knees at once versus in two separate procedures was associated with significantly fewer prosthetic joint infections but with\u00a0higher\u00a0risk for cardiovascular events, including pulmonary embolism and heart attack.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recent advances and discussions in medicine are the cornerstone of Journal Watch.\u00a0Here&#8217;s the second installment of the articles that\u00a0made the biggest impression on me in the\u00a0past 2 weeks.\u00a0I hope you enjoy the articles I selected.
