Nearly half of all Americans who have Internet access now browse the World Wide Web every day, according to a survey released by the Emerging Technologies Group. Results show that the daily and weekly usage of both the World Wide Web and e-mail has risen dramatically in just the past two years.

The random survey, conducted between February and April 1997, shows that of the 31 million American adults with Internet access, 49% (approximately 15.2 million) browse on the World Wide Web every day. In 1995, only 36% of users surfed the Web every day. In terms of weekly statistics, 88% of all users now browse the web at least once a week, up from 81% in 1995.

The use of e-mail has also dramatically increased. Sending and/or receiving e-mail is a daily routine for 59% of all American adults on the Internet; only 47% used e-mail programs every day in 1995. In 1997, 89% use e-mail one or more times a week, compared to the 78% in 1995.

When Radiculopathy Isn’t Radiculopathy: A Clinical Series (Pt. 3)
When Radiculopathy Isn’t Radiculopathy

Before introducing subscapularis syndrome as an upper extremity analog, it is essential to revisit piriformis syndrome as a well-established example of myogenic pseudo-radiculopathy. Piriformis syndrome has long served as a clinical exception to disc-centric models of lower extremity pain and provides an important framework for understanding how deep muscular dysfunction can mimic radiculopathy in the absence of nerve root compression.

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics
From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success. But while pain reduction is meaningful, it is an incomplete and often misleading representation of recovery. This has real consequences for patient adherence, long-term outcomes, and how conservative care is perceived within the broader healthcare system.
