By Larry Fine Jan 4 (Reuters) - High-tech equipment, vigilant medical care and perhaps even the time-worn comfort of chicken soup will be on tap to combat Arctic conditions for Sunday's NFL playoff game in Green Bay, Wisconsin, between the Packers and San Francisco 49ers So says Dr. Matthew J. Matava, head team doctor for the St. Louis Rams and president of the National Football League Physicians Society. With temperatures expected to drop below zero Fahrenheit (-18 C) accompanied by icy winds during the game, hand and finger fractures, hamstrings and quadriceps, frostbite and dehydration are of particular concern, according to Matava. More than two dozen medical personnel, including trainers, doctors and chiropracters, will patrol the sidelines to massage and treat players and watch out for possible frostbite. "One thing we tend to forget about is hydration (on a frigid day)," Matava said. via Health News Headlines - Yahoo News Read More Here..
