One spoonful of black-rice bran -- or 10 spoonfuls of cooked black rice -- contains the same amount of anthocyanin as a spoonful of fresh blueberries, according to a new study presented today at the American Chemical Society, in Boston.
Acute compartment syndrome occurs when the tissue pressure within a closed muscle compartment exceeds the perfusion pressure and results in muscle and nerve ischemia. It typically occurs subsequent to a traumatic event, most commonly a fracture.
Compartment syndrome can arise as the result of local trauma such as a fall, a kick from another horse, or collision with a fixed object or motor vehicle. The energy imparted by the trauma results in soft tissue swelling, hematoma formation, or fluid accumulation from hemorrhage or seroma formation within the fascial compartment.
