In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Wearing a rigid brace or splint that holds your wrist in a neutral position during the day may reduce the compression or irritation of the median nerve and help with carpal tunnel symptoms. Splints or wrist braces can also be worn during activities that aggravate symptoms, such as working at the computer, bowling or carrying groceries. Wearing splints while you sleep can help relieve nighttime symptoms of tingling and numbness in your hands, especially if you have a habit of curling your wrists.  You may need to wear a splint for several weeks (day and night) to get significant relief from carpal tunnel symptoms. For some sufferers, splints and braces provide negligible benefit. Splinting at night can be a good idea if you're pregnant and have carpal tunnel syndrome because pregnancy tends to increase swelling (edema) in the hands and feet. Wrist splints and braces can be purchased at most pharmacies and medical supply stores. Some sleeping postures can aggravate the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. Sleeping with your fists clenched and wrists tucked in (flexed) is the worst position, but having your arms extended above your head is not great either. Instead, sleep on your back or side with your arms at your sides, and try to keep your hands open and your wrists in a neutral position. Wearing a wrist splint or brace is very helpful in this regard, although it takes a little getting used to.  Don't sleep on your stomach with your hands/wrists compressed under your pillow. People who do this frequently wake up with numb and tingly hands. Most wrist splints and braces are made of nylon and fasten with velcro, which can irritate other parts of your body. Consider covering your splint with a sock or thin cloth to reduce irritating other body parts. Your carpal tunnel problem may be caused or aggravated by a poorly designed work station. If your computer keyboard, mouse, desk and/or chair isn't positioned properly for your height and body proportions, it can put strain on your wrists, shoulders, neck and mid-back. Make sure your keyboard is low enough so that your wrists are not constantly bent upwards while typing. Consider getting an ergonomic keyboard and mouse, designed to take the stress off your wrists and hands.  Putting cushioned pads underneath your keyboard and mouse can lessen the impact on your hands and wrists. Have an occupational therapist review your body positions while performing your job. People who work on computers for many hours each day are at higher risk of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Summary: Wear a wrist splint. Change your sleeping position. Alter your work station.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The nines times table has the great trick that the digits of your answer always add up to 9. This works as follows:  9 x 1 = 09. 0 + 9 = 9 9 x 2 = 18. 1 + 8 = 9 9 x 3 = 27. 2 + 7 = 9 9 x 4 = 36. 3 + 6 = 9. etc. For example, the tens digit of 9 x 3 will be 3-1, or 2. Therefore the answer to 9 x 3 should begin with 2. Use this pattern to help keep you on track: if you find that your answer to 9 x 2 begins with a 4 (and not a 1), you know you have gone astray somewhere.
Summary:
Remember that the digits of your answer should all add up to 9. Remember that the tens digit of 9 x some number will be some number minus one.
