The prognosis of isolated volar plate sprains of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint is related to the extension deficit. Some consider an associated avulsion fracture as a sign of severity. The goal of this study was to find out whether the outcomes of conservative treatment in PIP volar plate injury was impacted by the presence of an avulsion fracture.
Heartburn Prevention. As stated above, heartburn can be reduced or prevented by a stepwise treatment program that includes lifestyle changes, avoiding certain foods, OTC medications, prescription medications, and infrequently, surgical intervention.
But some foods can also help provide relief. A high fiber diet that includes whole grains and vegetables can reduce symptoms. So can bananas, which are natural acid fighters. Mild ginger tea in limited amounts may ease the gas that contributes to heartburn. For dessert, sour candy may do more than just satisfy a sweet tooth.
