Presentation
Most patients with myxopapillary ependymoma present insidiously, but they may present with hemorrhage or cauda equina syndrome. Limited number of case reports available has described this condition only in adult patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Gastrointestinal
- Projectile Vomiting
At first everything appears to be going to plan when out of nowhere the unfortunate woman begins projectile vomiting. [dailymail.co.uk]
Treatment
Results revealed that running was the only effective treatment in raising high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). A return to weight lifting was associated with a 4 mg % decrease in HDL-C. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment history was self-reported, except for the number of lymph nodes removed, which was derived from pathology reports. [nejm.org]
Epidemiology
Abstract The associations between participation in several specific sports, use of free weights, and use of weight lifting equipment and herniated lumbar or cervical intervertebral discs were examined in a case-control epidemiologic study. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology
A recent study has shown that intra-ocular pressure (IOP), which is an indirect measure of intracranial pressure, elevates to pathophysiologic levels during weight-lifting. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention
The relatively small change seen as a result of this modified Nautilus exercise program may prevent moderate weight lifting from being a practical answer for osteoporosis, even in a highly motivated population. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
That's great news, considering hundreds of research studies show weight lifting has benefits that range from weight loss and disease prevention to improved heart health, blood sugar control, balance, and more. [prevention.com]
