What is a Herniated Disc?
A herniated disc, also known as a slipped or ruptured disc, occurs when the soft, gel-like center of an intervertebral disc pushes out through a weak spot in the tough outer layer. This puts pressure on the spinal nerve roots causing pain, numbness, and weakness.
Causes of a Herniated Disc
Degenerative disc disease Normal aging causes discs to dry out and shrink. This makes them more likely to crack or herniate.
Injury Sudden movements like heavy lifting with poor form can tear the outer layer of a disc. Even small tears allow the inner nucleus to squeeze out.
Genetics Some people inherit weaker disc tissues making them prone to herniation.

PRETORIA, Apr 26 2007 (IPS) – In Africa, 25 countries are expected to experience water scarcity or water stress in the next 20 to 30 years. This translates into 16 percent or 230 million of Africa s population facing water scarcity by 2025, and 32 percent or 460 million people living in water-stressed countries by that time.
This is according to a paper presented by Ahmed Nejjar of the World Health Organisation s (WHO) regional office for Africa at a conference looking at water management. The two-day conference, entitled Water Management Africa 2007, was attended by representatives from multilateral, nongovernmental and governmental agencies. It ended in the South African capital Pretoria on April 24.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jul 4 2008 (IPS) – You could hear the joy in Patrick Campbell s voice as he reflected on U.S. President George W. Bush s signing Monday of a new GI Bill of Rights for veterans returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan.
It s hard to actually picture that it s done, the legislative director of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America told IPS.

I can go to the best school I can get into not just the school that I can afford .

ISTANBUL, Nov 16 2009 (IPS) – Success in fighting violence against women may well hinge on partnership with an often overlooked but still a critically vital party men themselves.
Population experts are moving ahead with strategy and projects that go beyond treating men simply as perpetrators or, at best, uncaring and passive onlookers. Recently, more and more men are looked upon to become allies in combating violence against women.
The current approach is that without men s involvement, the problem cannot be solved, Karen Daduryan, a senior officer of the U.N. Population Fund (UNFPA), told IPS as the U.N. body presented a study at a meeting in Istanbul Nov. 11-13 on women s health in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Otherwise, the risk is that women retur…

May 12 2020 (IPS) – “When I was 13… I got pregnant from my older brother… He raped me starting when I was 11,” a girl from Guatemala told one of us in 2015. She was one of the girls under 15 worldwide who give birth each year, often due to sexual violence.
The Covid-19 pandemic is putting girls like her at even greater risk. While lockdowns reduce the spread of Covid-19, they also drive a global spike in reported in the home, and leaving some women and with abusers, leading to increased unwan…
