I saw the following message from Health News, a newsletter from the
University of Toronto's Faculty of Medicine, and thought you might find
it interesting.

ATTENTION SPORTS FANS:

This month [August 1992] Health News brings you good news about bad
knees. Plaguing not only athletes, but anyone due to a sudden blow or
twisting movement, knee problems mainly come down to overuse and
misalignment. Health News looks at remedial and preventive steps that
can help sports enthusiasts - from the recreational to the professional
- avoid hurting one of the body's most complex and injury-prone
structures. Health News gives you sound advice from sports medicine
experts to show how to avoid these problems through sensible "knee
hygiene".

ALSO IN THE AUGUST EDITION OF HEALTH NEWS

Heroin, Crack, Cocaine, Codeine? We all know the dangers of illegal
substance abuse but how many of us are aware that prescription drug
misuse results in more North American injuries and deaths than all
illegal drugs combined. In this issue Health News explores the perils of
legal medications which are often over- or mis-prescribed and provides
clear methods to avoid such misuse for those needing prescription drugs
to combat specific ailments.

Our medical update section continues the discussion on prescription drug
misuse with a look at the use and abuse of tranquillizers and the debate
over whether these medications are indeed prescribed too much, or for
those afflicted by anxiety, often enough.

Also in this issue Health News looks at inflammatory bowel disease and
its two conditions Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Many struck
with these two distinct but similar diseases find frequent flare-ups
traumatize their lives but Health News  lists the many new approaches
and therapies that can help IBD sufferers lead normal, fulfilling lives.
