Super-healing a bone fracture with hyperbaric oxygen therapy

“A full range of movement after six weeks in a sling”

Harry, a 16 year old rugby player, went on a skiing holiday in February and was unfortunate enough to fracture his collar bone.

On returning home to Wells, Harry was seen by a specialist surgeon, who took x-rays and reviewed the fracture. He also recommended that Harry should have some sessions in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber - and that he, the surgeon, expected see a noticeable difference at the six-week fracture follow up.

Harry’s father, Tom, explains, “We decided to hire an oxygen chamber for home use and, through an internet search, we found Matthew and Origin Oxygen. He talked us easily through the whole process, including the type and size of chamber and optimum length of hire.

“He quickly delivered the chamber to us and explained how to use it. Matthew was also very knowledgeable about other treatments, like herbs, and offered his knowledge freely.”

Matthew explains, “Having checked that Harry’s surgeon was satisfied with the realignment of the fractured bone - which avoids long term problems - I was happy to support his use of the chamber because I know how effective HBOT (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) can be in prompting faster bone growth to create a super-healing.

Harry used the oxygen chamber daily and, at the follow up, the surgeon was delighted, especially with his full range of movement despite having been in a sling for six weeks.

Harry was able to move on to physiotherapy and progressed quickly. When he resumed speed training for rugby fitness, his 10 metre sprint times were, remarkably, the same as prior to the injury.

Garden View

This month – Watering: balancing need with conservation

Keeping our gardens healthy and hydrated can be a challenging task, especially during hot summers or when we’re away from home. The days when gardeners used hosepipes liberally are long gone. An automatic watering system can offer an efficient solution to keeping the garden looking great while not destroying the environment.

Watering systems provide a hands-free approach to watering the garden. They consist of pipes, valves, and sprinklers or drippers strategically placed throughout your garden. They can be connected to a timer and a water source, such as a tap. The timer allows you to set specific watering schedules, ensuring your plants receive water even when you’re not around. This is particularly handy for busy individuals or holiday periods.

Installation requires some basic plumbing skills, but it is quite manageable for most gardeners. The system needs to be connected to a water source, and the pipes, valves, and sprinklers or drippers need to be positioned accordingly. Personally, I prefer drippers to sprinklers as they are less wasteful. Proper planning and layout are crucial to ensure efficient water distribution. There are lots of helpful videos on YouTube offering great advice.

Watering systems can also be used with stored rainwater from a water butt. This makes them even more eco-friendly. If you’re going to do this make sure to use appropriate filtration and pump system to ensure the rainwater is suitable for distribution through the watering system. Even if you have to use tap water, automatic systems are designed for efficient use. By targeting specific areas and delivering water directly to the plants’ roots, they minimize wastage. Additionally, the use of timers allows for precise scheduling, preventing overwatering, thus further conserving water. Compared to using a hosepipe, which can lead to water runoff and inefficient coverage,

automatic systems provide better control use far less water.

Mulching further conserves water by preventing the underlying soil from drying out in warm weather. It creates a protective layer on the soil surface, acting as a barrier to reduce evaporation. Organic mulch materials include straw, wood chips, bark, leaves, grass clippings, and compost. These materials break down over time, enriching the soil with nutrients while simultaneously retaining moisture. Organic mulch also improves soil structure, promotes beneficial microbial activity, and helps prevent weed growth. It needs to be reapplied as it breaks down.

Inorganic mulch materials such as gravel, stones do not break down and can very decorative. Its more expensive so better suited to small spaces. Apply a layer of mulch that is 2-4 inches thick around plants, leaving a gap around the stem or trunk to prevent rotting. Ensure the mulch extends to the drip line of trees and shrubs to cover the entire root zone. When used alongside an automatic drip watering system, mulching goes a long way towards reducing water usage in the garden.

LVT or laminate?

LVT (luxury vinyl tile) and laminate are both popular hard flooring choices but they have some key differences. Both come in wood plank designs, but for tiles, there is more choice in LVT. LVT is made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), while laminate is made from a composite of wood fibres and resins, so laminate does not like getting wet and if water seeps between the planks it will expand, leaving unsightly gaps between the boards. There are a few waterresistant laminates specially made for bathrooms and kitchens.

Laminate click fits together quickly, making it an ideal D-I-Y choice. LVT flooring is available in click-fit, but for the best water resistant finish it is stuck down. It has been known to withstand flooding from washing machine leaks, although there are no guarantees for this.

LVT needs a much higher level of floor preparation, which is not a D-I-Y job, because any imperfections in the floor underneath may show through, especially as light shines across it. Laminate needs a level floor to support the planks evenly, but minor surface imperfections do not matter.

LVT can be fitted right up to the skirting boards whereas laminate flooring always needs an expansion gap round the edge. The gap can be hidden beneath the skirting boards, which works well in a new build, or if you are prepared to take your skirting boards off. Otherwise, the gap needs to be covered with scotia, a concave trim, or quadrant, a convex trim. This can look clumsy, especially in a hall-way where there are several door ways opening off.

Generally, LVT is more expansive but it is also more durable than laminate, with life-time guarantees on even the bottom end ranges being common. There is a wider choice of styles, and LVT tiles are often fitted with feature strips in between to look like grout. Borders can be inserted to follow the contours of your space, or even a central motif, so that you have a truly individual floor.

Peace of mind that you or your loved one are being supported

For 35 years, vulnerable people requiring support to remain living independently at home have been enabled to do so thanks to the caring staff at Candlelight Care. The company began on a kitchen table just outside Glastonbury and remains owned by the same family, two generations of whom continue to lead the organisation.

We understand that allowing people into your home to provide care and support to yourself or a loved one is a big step. That’s why Candlelight Care staff pride themselves on being trustworthy, reliable and considerate to our clients. We try to maintain a regular rota of staff wherever possible, enabling clients and staff to build a good rapport and make the visits a part of the day which clients look forward to. As society changes and the population ages, social care companies are increasingly asked to provide specialist services. Candlelight Care is pleased to offer these, enabling people with additional needs and life-limiting conditions the opportunity to live at home for longer. Our staff receive additional training to support clients living with dementia, those recovering from a stroke, and people reaching the end of their lives who wish to spend their final days in familiar surroundings. We think that it is a privilege to be trusted to support people in these circumstances and are always proud to do so.

With Candlelight Care, not only will you have the peace of mind that you or your loved one are being supported, but you’ll also have the added reassurance that we are rated ‘Good’ by the Care Quality Commission.

Here are just a few recent comments from clients and their families:

“The lady we discussed my mother and father (both with dementia) with was very helpful and made someveryusefulsuggestionstohelpreassureusanddirectustotheproperchannelsforadvice.”D.J. “Everyone was so sympathetic and professional. Could not recommend highly enough. The care was exceptional, right to her last hours. Most dignified and worry free, enabling her to be at home.” L.W.

Eye Conditions

The human eye is a complex organ, perceiving the world in all its beauty. However certain unusual eye conditions challenge our understanding of vision. Read on to learn more about some conditions, that our optometrists sometimes come across in their practice:

Heterochromia iridum is a condition where a person’s irises display different colours. It can manifest as complete heterochromia (each iris with a different colour) or sectoral heterochromia (part of the iris showing a different colour).

Ocular albinism is a rare genetic disorder affecting eye pigmentation. Individuals with ocular albinism have light blue or gray irises, along with reduced visual acuity and increased sensitivity to light.

Anisocoria is a condition when the sizes of the two pupils are different. It could be a side effect of certain drugs, but if it happens suddenly, a visit to the GP or your local optician for an ACES appointment is necessary.

Visual Snow Syndrome is a visual disturbance, where individuals see flickering dots or static-like patterns across their entire visual field, resembling old TV screen noise. The cause and treatment options are still being studied.

Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS) involves vivid visual hallucinations experienced by individuals. These hallucinations can include complex patterns, people, or objects not present in reality. People who suffer from CBS often think they might be going mad and keep their condition a secret. The cause isn’t clear, but it is not a sign of dementia.

If you develop a new eye condition, or have concern about your vision, it’s always a good idea to talk to your Optician. The ACES (Acute Community Eyecare Scheme) is a free service across Somerset available in participating opticians, dealing with urgent eye conditions. Eyetech Opticians in Street is part of the ACES scheme.

HIGHEST RATED ROOFER IN SOMERSET! (42 ★★★★★ Google reviews)

“Fantastic responsive service. It’s the 2nd time I have used central roofing and on both occasions they turned up on time got on with the job and kept us informed on what was being carried out. Went above and beyond and assisted me in issues around insurance. I would recommend this company to anyone with roofing issues.”

ROOFING

We used Central Roofing to take down an old flat roof and install another on our business premises at Knight Brothers Garage. The company was very reliable, they turned up when they said they would, the guys that did the work were very tidy and efficient. The work was completed in the time frame they set…we are more than pleased with the finished job.

Over half the UK population have never had a hearing test

By Simon Swindells, Director and Clinical Lead Audiologist at South West Hearing Care

Can you remember when you last had your hearing tested? If you have never had one, you certainly are not alone. A recent study* highlighted that in the UK, well over half the population (65%) have never had a hearing test.

If you asked yourself when was your last dental check-up or eye test, you would probably say in the last 2 years. So why do we not take the same care with our hearing?

There are currently 12 million adults (1-in-5) in the UK who experience hearing loss and our lifestyle means that the condition is becoming increasingly prevalent. Thankfully, with the use of accurate diagnostics and fantastic hearing assistive technology - it’s often an easily solved problem.

If you suspect you or a loved one are experiencing difficulties with hearing properly and are feeling hesitant about taking the next step, remember that you are not alone. Consider the improvements in quality of life experienced by individuals who take action and address their hearing loss. The experience can be life changing - hearing aid users say they grow in confidence, communicating in groups becomes easier and less stressful and they begin to enjoy life again.

Our hearing allows us to connect with our surroundings and communicate with our loved ones. The ability to hear properly can go a long way in helping to stay active. Correct communication with family and friends can mean the difference between a fun and enjoyable day out or a confusing and frustrating day.

To book a hearing test appointment with Simon at his clinics in either Street or Westbury, please call 01458 555533 (Street) / 01373 823076 (Westbury) or visit www.southwesthearingcare.co.uk

Are you a Wimbledon Winner?! Musings of an OvenGleamer

Wimbledon is running from 3rd-16th July this year and there’ll be some incredible tennis played at varying levels of expertise. But what sort of Chef are you?

Ball Boy? (and about my level!) cooking is one of your life’s simple pleasures and your skill level is simple too. You’re great at using the microwave and can cope with a pan of boiling water for pasta and potatoes. You could cook a 3 course meal with a combi-microwave. Cheat with a ready-made prawn cocktails, then cook a chicken using the grill function and cook ‘steam in a bag’ vegetables to produce a Roast Dinner. For dessert “ping” chocolate sponge puddings with chocolate sauce to finish off…simples!

More budding chefs (most of you) come in at least an Umpire standard. You’re great at using a hob and an oven with several pans boiling away on the hob top whilst a delicious joint is roasting away in the oven. You are classic multi-tasker with better time–management skills than me. My partner falls in this category – she does a mean Roast Beef, Yorkshire puddings and mountains of vegetables – all cooked to perfection and appearing on the table at the same time. For dessert she produces an apple pie out of oven with creamy custard. She then expects me, a professional oven cleaner, to clean our cooker? Does she not understand that it’s my day off?

Wimbledon Cup winners are you BBQ cookers! How anyone can produce an array of succulent steaks, juicy sausages and melt-in-the-mouth burgers as well as foil wrapped salmon from just a metal grid over some hot coals or gas, I’ll never know. You then to serve them with a selection of fresh salads and summer cocktails – a skill level way beyond my reach. My friends do this, invite me over and I can enjoy the fruits of their labours! Then with a messy BBQ, they phone me to clean it – fed and paid – Gold Medal for me on that one!

So where do you fit into my medal parade – are you a Ball Boy, Umpire or Wimbledon Cup Chef? I promise you a Cup level service, call today: Dean Sheppard,
