What is an e-cigarette?
An electronic cigarette is a disposable or rechargeable battery powered personal vaporizer (PV) or inhaler, often in the form of a cigarette, and can contain either flavored nicotine liquid or refills with no nicotine. The nicotine strength can also be varied according to the user's requirement. High-power models are also available that do not resemble an ordinary cigarette but instead look like a thick tube or a small box with a mouthpiece attached.

Ecigarettes are a modern way to obtain nicotine and replace smoking - an alternative to smoking tobacco cigarettes, desirable since they are likely to be several orders of magnitude less harmful. They can also be used without nicotine. The liquids contain about half a dozen food grade ingredients that are all licensed for human consumption and considered acceptably safe, as against the 5,300 discovered so far in cigarette smoke of which many are known to be toxic and/or carcinogenic.

Knee arthritis in boomers: A growing problem

Symposium explores trends and treatment options

Knee arthritis is catching up to the youngest baby boomers—those in their 40s and 50s, said John J. Callaghan, MD, moderator of the 2008 AAOS Annual Meeting symposium Choices and Compromises for the Treatment of Knee Arthritis in the Baby Boomer. Aging boomers and an escalating obesity rate mean that orthopaedists should expect to treat record numbers of patients for this debilitating condition.


“Data suggest that the prevalence of arthritis increases with age and that people with higher body mass indexes (BMIs) have a greater chance of developing arthritis in the knee,” he explained. “A significant portion of people in the 50- to 70-year-old baby boomer range have BMIs that are greater than 30, which is outside the healthy range. Evidence shows that around 20 percent of those people will develop knee arthritis.”
