Here are some of the more regular ones we are asked.\nWhat to expect when you start training.\nWhen you arrive for your initial session with your Personal Trainer you will fill out a pre-exercise questionnaire. It is important to let us know of any injuries or health issues you have currently or in the past. We will then discuss your health and fitness goals so an effective, individualised exercise program can be devised.\nThe first session could also incorporate a functional assessment of you to ensure there is no injury issues or body imbalances that may injure you or stop your training program. The main objective of this session is for us to assess how you move and your current level of fitness.\nHow can a Personal Trainer help me?\nOne of the main benefits of Personal Training is the ongoing motivation you will receive from your Trainer. It is much harder to skip your workout when you know there is someone at the gym waiting for you! Your trainer also has the knowledge and experience to prescribe the correct exercises for your goals and fitness level and to ensure that you are performing them with perfect technique.\nWhere do sessions happen?\nA training session can take place anywhere that is convenient to both you and the trainer. Some people prefer the open space and the outdoors. So here we can meet in a local park or beach. Others enjoying working out at home or some prefer to exercise in our studio environment on the lower north shore or a mixture of all these. There is no wrong or right, only your preference.\nWhat do I need to bring?\nYou should wear loose, light workout gear. A t-shirt or singlet, shorts and a good pair of gym shoes. A drink bottle and towel are also essential while training. A warm jacket for after the session is also a great idea. Above you need to bring a great attitude to get the most out of each session.\nWhen can I do the sessions?\nYou can do your sessions at any time that is convenient to you and your trainer. We have flexible training times to fit around your busy lives of work and recreation.\nWhy should I get a Personal Trainer?\nPeople use personal trainers (PTs) to assist them reach their individual health and fitness goals. A personal trainer will tailor an exercise program to meet your goals and personal health needs, teach you the best way to exercise and motivate you.\nWhat is the role of a Personal Trainer?\nA PT should have relevant qualifications and be registered with a recognised industry association such as Fitness Australia. A PT’s job is to work with your health professionals, discuss your goals, assess your fitness level, design a program for you and help keep you motivated.", "domain": "health"}

They yearn to improve their eating habits, only to fail miserably within the first couple of months of the year.\nDrastic diet changes rarely work. Before you commit to this resolution, take some time to research the different types of diets out there and consider which one is best for you.\nTop 6 diets trending up this year\nTo help you choose a diet and stick to it, we’ve put together a list of the top six diets trending up this year. Please consult your doctor before making any drastic dietary changes.\n1. Keto Diet\nThe ketogenic diet is a high-fat diet, low-carbohydrate diet that forces the body to burn fats rather than carbs for energy. The diet gets its name from ketosis, the state your body goes into when it burns fat for fuel instead of carbs. Normally, the body turns carbs in food into glucose, which is used for energy throughout the body and the brain. When lacking carbs, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies to replace glucose as an energy source. This diet was originally developed in the 1920s as a way to control seizures.\nThe Keto diet focuses on fatty foods, such as bacon, cheese, coconut oil, nuts and avocado, and excessively restricts carbs. Typically, keto dieters eat 20 to 50 grams carbs per day (a medium apple has 25 grams of carbs). Keto fans claim the diet helps them drop weight quickly, but research shows that keto doesn’t significantly outperform other weight-loss regiments (Harvard School of Public Health).\nUnfortunately, the keto diet comes with a series of negative side effects, including constipation, high cholesterol, acidosis, kidney stones and osteoporosis. Because of these and other adverse effects, most dietitians and nutritionist warn against using the keto diet as a long-term weight loss strategy.\n2. Intermittent Fasting\nIntermittent fasting (IF) is an eating pattern that involves periods of fasting and eating. Unlike regular diets, IF focuses on when people eat, not what they eat.\nHumans have always fasted. Ancient hunter-gatherers didn’t have supermarkets, restaurants or refrigerators. They skipped meals because they had nothing to eat. As a result, humans evolved the ability to function without food for extended periods of time. As a matter of fact, fasting regularly is more natural than eating several times a day or all day long. Fasting is also practiced for religious or spiritual reasons.\nThere are three IF methods\n- alternate-day fasting\n- periodic fasting\n- daily time-restricted feeding.\nThe most popular method consists of fasting for 16 hours each day and eating during the remaining 8-hour period. Another popular IF method is eat-stop-eat, which involves fasting for 24 hours twice a week. The 5:2 method limits calories to 500 or 600 on two non-consecutive days of the week.\nIF is controversial. According to some research, IF results in weight loss and reduces insulin resistance, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, inflammation and the risk of heart disease, while increasing growth hormone levels, cellular repair and gene expression, boosting longevity and protection against disease.\n3. Mediterranean Diet\nThe Mediterranean diet is inspired by the traditional eating habits of Spaniards, Italians and Greeks. It’s based on a high consumption of olive oil, legumes, unrefined cereals, vegetables and fruits, moderate-to-high consumption of fish, moderate consumption of dairy products (mostly as cheese and yogurt), moderate wine consumption, and low consumption of non-fish meat products.\nResearch shows this way of eating lowers the risk of heart disease and early death. The Mediterranean diet is one of three healthy diets recommended in the 2015-2020 U.S. Dietary Guidelines; furthermore, U.S. News & World Report ranks it as the best overall diet. The American Heart Association and American Diabetes Association recommend it as a healthy eating pattern that can reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. In addition to its health benefits, dieters claim it helps them lose weight and keep it off.\n4. Low-Carb Diet\nCarbohydrates, or carbs, have a bad reputation because they’re found in many foods that are both –high-calorie and nutrient-poor, such as refined bread, candy and potato chips. Cutting back on high-carb, high-sugar, low-fiber foods is good for you. Nevertheless, you body still needs carbs as a source of energy.\nMany healthy foods are high in carbs, such as legumes, whole grains and some fruits and vegetables. As a result, diets that restrict all carbs, without making a distinction between them, aren’t the healthiest diets. Many carb haters end up removing whole, plant-based foods that have key health benefits. Low-carb diets can also make workouts feel harder than normal because of the way the body metabolizes energy when lacking carbs. Therefore, when considering a low-carb diet, proceed with care.\n5. Calorie Restriction\nWhen you consume fewer calories than the number of calories you use, you lose weight. Some nutritionist and dieticians claim that achieving a calorie deficit is the only effective way to lose weight. Others warn against becoming calorie-obsessed (a hallmark of eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia) and recommend people focus on the type of food they eat, not the number of calories they consume.\nYou can use calorie-counting apps or websites to track your calorie intake. You can also cut calories by adjusting portions on your plate, decreasing the amount of high-calorie foods (foods high in fat and sugar) while increasing the portion of high-fiber foods. Eating more fruits and vegetables and less calorie-dense foods automatically lowers your calorie intake.\n6. Low-Fat Diet\nLike carbs, dietary fat has a bad reputation—but we need fat to live. Fats provide energy and help the body absorb certain nutrients. The body also uses fats to build cell membranes and coat nerve cells. The food we eat contains different types of dietary fat, some healthy and some unhealthy. There’s evidence that replacing unhealthy fats with healthy fats is linked to a lower risk of heart disease.\nFat has the highest number of calories per gram: 9 calories vs. 4 per gram of protein or carbs. Although all fats have the same number of calories, a healthier low-fat diet reduces unhealthy saturated and trans fats in favor of monosaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Saturated fat is found in red meat, full-fat dairy and coconut oil. Sources of monosaturated and polyunsaturated fats include nuts, avocados, vegetable oils, fish and seeds.\nMake this the year that you stick with this resolution. If you struggle, seek support. There are many local and online weight loss and weight management apps and communities you can join to get the assistance, encouragement and accountability you need.", "domain": "health"}

Serving with him were His Grace Bishop Gregory of Denver and Colorado, Hegumen George, Hieromonk Andrew, the priests Dionysi McGowan and John Claypool, and Archdeacon Peter. After the liturgy was ended, there was a trapeza in the monastery refectory to which all of the monastery brotherhood and all of the faithful were invited.\nAfter the trapeza, the clergy and some of the faithful met with the Metropolitan in order to discuss questions relating to the life and activities of members of the R.O.A.C. in the USA. This meeting lasted until late in the evening.\nAt 11:30 PM, Vladyka Valentine became ill. The brotherhood of the monastery feared that Vladyka was having a heart attack and called 911. Vladyka was taken by ambulance to the emergency room of the hospital in Salida, which is the closest hospital to the monastery. After an initial examination, he was admitted to the hospital. The following day, Dr. Amatelli, the cardiologist there, decided to transfer Vladyka to the cardiology center of Penrose Hospital in Colorado Springs.\nAlmost immediately after arrival, Dr. William Barry, a cardiologist, did an angiogram of Vladyka’s heart, and determined that Vladyka needed surgery very soon. The operation was scheduled for Wednesday, April 21st. It was performed by Dr. James T. Anderson, one of the leading heart surgeons in the country. He was assisted by the anesthesiologist, Dr. James Taylor. The open heart surgery took about nine hours. Four of the bypasses were made from arteries taken from Vladyka’s arms, and one was made from a vein taken from one of his legs.\nImmediately after surgery, Vladyka was transferred to the ICU. After a couple of hours, the nurse noticed a greater than usual amount of drainage coming from Vladyka’s wound and called the doctor. Dr. Anderson returned to the hospital and after looking over Vladyka’s situation, decided to reopen the chest cavity and look for the source of the drainage in order to stop it. This second open heart surgery took about three hours. Dr. Anderson was aided this time by the anesthesiologist, Dr. Martin Read.\nFor the next three days, Vladyka was in the ICU. On Saturday, April 24th, Vladyka was transferred to a room on the ninth floor, where all of the heart patients are sent for recovery. However, he was only there for about three hours. He became extremely ill. His temperature rose to about 105 F., and he became delirious. The doctors were concerned about the possibility of a stroke. Vladyka was hurriedly returned to the ICU. Then there followed a whole range of tests. Many specialists were called in including: Dr. John Newcomer, a pulmonolgist, Dr. Donald Strandberg, an infectious disease specialist, and Dr. Thomas D. McDonald, a neurologist. They were able to determine that there had been no stroke, but in order to prevent one from taking place, the temperature of Vladyka’s body had to be lowered quickly. Vladyka was wrapped in a special blanket through which cold water was passed. In this way, wrapped in a near freezing blanket, Vladyka lay throughout that entire terrible night, and the temperature slowly returned to normal. As a result of all of the tests, the doctors were able to determine that Vladyka had succumbed to a staph infection of his blood (staphylococcus aureus). A course of antibiotics was ordered in order to overcome it.\nThanks to the antibiotics, Vladyka’s condition gradually began to improve. Several days later, it was decided that he was in good enough condition that he could be returned to the ninth floor. During this time the following doctors assisted Vladyka with their expertise: Dr. David Albrecht, cardiologist, Dr. Michael Barber, cardiologist, Dr. James Simon, Urologist, Dr. James Stewart, surgeon, Dr. Bulgarin, pulmonologist, Nicole Montoya, physician’s assistant, Christine Poprocki, physician’s assistant, and Svetlana Gorbunova, physician’s assistant.\nAfter several days of tests, the source of the infection was located. During the first open heart surgery, a special balloon pump for assisting the beating of the heart had been inserted through a catheter in the groin. This wound is where the infection developed. A minor operation was ordered to open and clean out this wound. Dr. John Randono was the surgeon for this procedure. He was assisted by the anesthesiologist, Dr. John Marda.\nFinally, the infectious disease specialist, Dr. Donald Strandberg decided that Vladyka could be released from the hospital, but under certain conditions. It would be necessary for Vladyka to continue the intravenous antibiotic therapy for six weeks, and it would be better for that to be done somewhere close by the hospital. And so, on May 5th, Vladyka moved to the house of the local priest, Fr. Dionysi McGowan, where he continues to receive the whole course of the needed antibiotics.\nIn connection with the colossal efforts on the part of the doctors and staff involved with the treatment of Metropolitan Valentine (Anatoly Rusantsov), the Synod of Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Autonomous Church, together with the clergy, monastics, and faithful, not only in Russia, but from around the world, express their deeply felt gratitude for saving the life of the head of our Church. We offer our redoubled prayers that the Lord grant strength and vigor to all of the doctors and staff of Penrose Hospital, that they might be able to continue the work of their noble calling. Your labors in this regard serve as a model and example for all of the doctors of the world to emulate, no matter what their nationality or faith might be.\nThe Synod of Bishops of the Russian Orthodox (Autonomous) Church", "domain": "health"}

Even with her accolades and extensive knowledge, Erica is very humble and easy to work with. Her methodology is challenging yet understandable, uncommon for such complicated movements. Great for both the serious lifter and more casual such as myself. Beyond her expertise, she has been incredibly supportive of me, as well as many of her other clients. Attending all of our meets!\nIn short I am so grateful to have her to guide me through this journey.\nClient of 3 years.\nI have known and trained with Erica for over seven years, and she is one of the best personal trainers and coaches I have ever worked with. When I first started working with Erica, I was overweight and injured, and lifting was very difficult for me. She quickly adapted each exercise to my skill level and worked with me to ensure I was getting the most out of each exercise. She has a great understanding of the science of strength and conditioning. With her assistance and motivation, I was able to lose 65lbs, increase my strength and endurance. Erica also works well with young inexperienced clients that have not worked with weights. I would highly recommend Erica to anyone looking for a personal trainer.\nMember Of 7 Years\nI have worked with Brad over the past four years, both class and personal training. Brad works excellently with people, and his knowledge of fitness is unmatched. He takes the time to assess your current condition and helps you develop a plan to meet your goals. He knows how to adapt workouts to meet anyone’s fitness level. Brad closely monitors your work and form to ensure proper technic and to prevent injury. Brad is very adaptable to your needs and works well with experienced and novice clients. Over time I worked with Brad, I lost weight while increasing my muscle mass and core strength. I would highly recommend Brad as a personal trainer or his classes.\nMember Of 7 Years\nOur son is 11 and is in basketball. He trains 1-on-1 with coach Jack twice/wk. and the difference in his strength, coordination, endurance, and self-confidence is invaluable and understated. The added activity and exposure to healthy habit is making such a profound difference in our son. We cannot compliment coach Jack and FMP enough on the difference this alone has made in his young life and our membership. He genuinely looks forward to each session and enjoys his time interacting with coach Jack. We highly recommend FMP Fitness for you and/or your family.\nJack M., Son Of Claudette M.\nMember Of Just Over 1 Year\nI cannot say enough amazing words about Coach Brad! He combines a wealth of knowledge, a respect for correct form, and an awareness of individual needs. All of this with a great personality allows him to connect to every client he encounters. I’ve been at the gym training under him for almost six years. When I injured my knee, he helped me rehab and modify my workouts to ensure my success! I’ve also trusted him with training my son and daughter. He not only trains them for their travel soccer season but also to become better athletes and to have a healthy future. Time and time again, parents ask what training do the kids do because they are mostly impenetrable on defense, and my answer is Coach Brad and FMP in Orland Park.\nMember Of 6 Years\nI have been a client of Jack's starting when I joined FMP Fitness Studio in 2015. I came in not being able to run any longer due to past knee injuries. Working out there as taught so many things, ie; how to work out effectively, with good form to avoid injury, and many tips on healthy eating. They have always answered all my questions, given me sound fitness advice with whatever goal I have set for myself. Because of my past knee injuries, he has always supplied me with alternative exercises to not cause discomfort on my joints but still gain strength in other areas. When I decided to have knee injections so I could go back to running and triathlons, Jack trained me one on one and gave me personal weekly workouts to improve my mobility, strength and form. He taught me proper running form so to not cause further discomfort and injury to my body. My overall health has improved especially from recommendations from Jack on chiropractic care, supplement needs and what food to feed my body. Most importantly they always listen to their members, asking what they can do to make it better for us and help us with our goals, whatever they may be. I can't say enough about Jack and FMP. I can't see me ever choosing another gym to work out at!\nOver the years training with Jack, I have lost weight, inches and gained muscle because of their advice and knowledge of the body's needs for overall health! I truly believe I will live longer with the benefits and what I have learned from being a member and part of a gym \"family\" at FMP!\nMember Of 4 Years\nI signed up for Erica's Strength Program nearly two years ago. I was just hoping to change up my usual routine and to feel more comfortable with the power lifting movements. What I got out of her program was that and so much more. Erica taught me proper warm up, breathing, technique and essential fundamentals to the movements. She demonstrates a great attentiveness to her group as they lift, ensuring they are in the accurate positions constantly. The programs she has written for me have been challenging, extensive, fun and incredibly rewarding. I have gotten stronger every 8-week cycle I've performed.\nWhat lead me to follow Erica is her own personal accomplishments. As a mother of two with a full time job she has been able to achieve so much in competitive power lifting. What excuse would I have not to put in the work?! I am so grateful I made the decision to try her class. As so many others before and after me have felt. I have now achieved a level of both strength and general fitness through FMP that I had never previously attained.\nMember Of 3 Years\nTraining with Brad has helped me achieve improvements in my strength (physical and mental), endurance, and dietary regime that I didn’t think possible. Brad continually challenges me with a variety of movements and well thought out programs for every workout. Continual education about movement to avoid injuries, queuing and motivational support are cornerstone traits of Brad’s personal training program and I can’t imagine what my overall health would look like without his persistence (and patience) in helping me build strength and focus in my workouts. Brad is a unique and dedicated individual that exemplifies why being part of the FMP family is good for one’s own well-being.\nMember of Over 5 Years\nI have been working out with Brad once, sometimes twice, a week for over 12 months. During that time he has taught me the proper mechanics of certain Olympic lifts, and helped me\nachieve my goal of being able to perform 10 strict pull-ups in a row. Brad challenges both my strengths and weaknesses in a way that I would rarely do on my own, and no two workouts are\never exactly the same, so I never get bored. While unassuming, his knowledge of anatomy and kinesiology surpasses most other personal trainers in this area, which can be said for all of the\ntrainers at FMP. I highly recommend Brad as a personal trainer, whether you are looking to lose weight and get in shape, or take your fitness to the next level.\nMember of Over 2 Years\nThe quality of instruction in the group classes exceeds expectations! The coaches make sure you are moving safely and efficiently, answer questions knowledgeably, and are attentive to everyone. I have made wonderful friends here, and class participants encourage each other often. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a gym.\nFellow NASM Certified Trainer\nThe group training classes at FMP are far superior to any classes I have taken at the numerous \"gyms\" I have been a part of over the years.. Having been a member here for almost 6 years, I have never repeated the same workout. The programming that that FMP offers every single day is intentional, varied, challenging, and intense, but is instructed and guided in a way that is never intimidating or out of reach, no matter your skill level. The community of like-minded people that FMP has fostered is unmatched and I am continually so thankful for the dedication and knowledge of every single trainer. Having been an athlete my whole life, physical activity has always been important to me, but I am so thankful I have found a community that challenges me and pushes me to not only become more physically fit and healthy myself, but also provides much needed examples to my 3 kids about what a healthy lifestyle looks like and feels like. I am so thankful that I have found a community where, even as a mom of 3 in my late thirties, I can still push myself, set goals, and feel just as physically challenged as when playing sports through high school and college.\nMember Of 6 Years\nAs marathon runners, my husband and I joined this gym to gain strength and speed. While I was intimidated at first because all I knew was running, the coaches made it so welcoming and modified movements to be at my level. They genuinely care about each person's individual needs. My husband and I have not only gained strength and speed while at FMP, but also friendships. Our children have even made friends with other kids in the great kids area!\nNicole & Dan W,\nMembers Of 18 Months\nI have struggled with my fitness for many years and FMP has always had an open-door policy for me. I have traveled for work up to weeks on end over much of my career and have been to many similar concept gyms across the country. None stack up to FMP Fitness Studio. Typically these other gyms have a culture, a process, and a protocol that tends toward the one-size-fits-all variety. At FMP, the culture is inclusive to all shapes, sizes, motivations, and goals.\nMost important for me has been the community at FMP. Fostered by the welcoming, incredibly knowledgeable, and capable staff, the community at FMP is unlike anywhere else and has been responsible for my success.\nOver the years my goals have shifted frequently between losing a lot of weight, getting crazy strong, looking good (or at least not too embarrassing) in a bathing suit, and/or just being healthy. There has always been programming and a place for me at FMP. The instructors have listened to my goals and supported me in achieving what was realistic (sometimes beyond my own expectations). The collective mastery of bio-mechanics, technique, and fundamental movement is second to none. I've learned a lot from them in addition to training safely and benefiting physically over the years.\nI trust FMP so much that the owner now also trains my 14 year-old daughter, a competitive gymnast and softball player, to complement her training and maximize her performance.\nFMP is the best. If you're looking to make an investment in your health and fitness, no matter what your reason or goal, FMP will help!\nMember Of 7 Years\nI have been a member at FMP for over 3 years now. What truly makes FMP different than any other gym I have been a part of is the top notched training you receive. Jack, Brad, and Erica are all amazing and they ensure first and foremost that you are not doing anything that could injure yourself, but then beyond that they work with you during classes to keep improving your form. They also keep pushing you to perform to your ability. Pushing you harder if you need it or pulling you back a bit if your grabbing a little too heavy of weights.\nBeyond the training, the gym atmosphere makes a huge difference. Working out on a group that motivates you pushes you through sets you often would not do individually.\nFMP is a great gym for everyone from beginners to the very experienced.\nMember Of 3 Years\nWe are a couple in our late 40’s and were infrequent Lifetime members looking for something different, something more personal. Often when working out alone or in an unstructured environment, the self-discipline was lacking or the planning resulted in 30 minutes on a treadmill or elliptical, then wandering the machines. We wanted a plan, guidance, a bit of peer pressure to push us. Friends recommended FMP Fitness (formerly Dinami) in Orland Park. We gave it a shot about 1 year ago to the date, and have not looked back. An email to the owner provided us all the details and information to get started. We walked in unannounced on Day 1 and coach Erica was incredibly personable and helpful in getting us acclimated to the surroundings and process of the group workout. She guided us that 1st day on the scheduled exercises and the fundamentals of completing each skill properly. This same attention is given each and every class by all coaches with the same personal attention and acceptance that everyone works at different levels. We have taken advantages of the groups classes and the personal training. The group classes are 1 hour of non-stop activity which deliver a unique workout everyday with groups of 1 to 17, depending on the demand that hour. It is never too crowded and there is always enough space and equipment to go around. The members are friendly and everyone is willing to help or guide as needed. Quickly we made friends and the faces became familiar. The 3 main coaches, Jack, Brad, and Erica are available for personal training and each has incredible knowledge of health, fitness, and technique. In the beginning, the one-on-one training was very beneficial in learning the correct form and posture when doing different exercises for the group classes. Highly recommended!\nJoe V. & Claudette M.\nMembers Of Just Over 1 Year\nHighly recommend FMP. The trainers are friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The team, Jack, Erica, and Brad truly do care for your success with your health goals. They are very welcoming and so NOT intimidating. I've worked with other trainers that think that motivating you is by getting in your face and yelling at you to push yourself. When I started here I realized what real good and valuable trainer should be like. They will take the time to correct your form and help with your goals. They are always open to suggestions and seek feedback from the members in how best to improve their programming and offerings. Their classes are so very effective. And if you are just starting out, the trainers are great with providing any modifications. I also highly recommend their TRX classes!! Dallas is phenomenal and their TRX workouts do not disappoint! Your core will thank you.\nMember Of Over 5 Years\nI have been a member (on and off, due to moving) since 2012. At FMP Fitness, the trainers are knowledgeable, engaging and well prepared. The gym and equipment are always clean and organized. I love how the hours are very accommodating towards all working schedules (including a 5am class and a 7pm class). Whether I am in the mood for a more strength-based workout or a more cardio-based workout, they have two options for workouts every day. The trainers at FMP Fitness take the time to teach each workout move in the correct form (some of us need more explanation than others… aka me) and the workouts are always fun and fresh! I have attended group classes with Erica, Brad and Jack and also participated in their personal training program with Jack. I came from having a back injury years ago that never went away. Jack was flexible with my ever-changing schedule and the programming was specific to me and my body type and my previous injuries. He taught me more about form and training safely and comfortably challenging myself when I was getting stronger (even when I would try to take the 7.5 pound weights) After about 6 months, my back pain was almost nonexistent and the way I worked out had completely changed. The workouts I was focusing on pre-back injury were wrong for my body and my fitness goals. I thought I needed more doctor visits, but in reality, I needed to learn how to train properly for my body type and learn more about health and fitness and I couldn’t have gotten there without Jack. I would highly suggest FMP Fitness for any age and fitness level. I tell myself this often… there are modifications for every challenging move and every injury. FMP will get you where you need to be. This gym deserves nothing less than 5 stars.\nMember Of Over 7 Years", "domain": "health"}

Nowhere in our discussion did she tell me there was a baby in the cards. Safe to say that now, I definitely do not believe in psychics.\nPregnancy came as a shock to me because I was on the pill and if you continue reading you will realize that this isn’t the normal pregnancy story. My daughter was born at 27 weeks gestation and it was the scariest thing of my life.\nI remember sitting in the emergency room bed while I was waiting for the doctor to inform me about my ultrasound results when I came in because I had a gush of fluid and bleeding. The doctor told me the best thing to do was to terminate the pregnancy because I was just shy of 20 weeks and my water had officially broken.\nI sat in the hospital bed, gripped my stomach, and cried.\nThe doctor’s reasoning was that if my water had broken, then I must’ve had an infection and that I would go into labor within 48 hours. She sent me home. She sent me home to sit and wait. Wait for contractions, wait for pain, wait for nothing. I couldn’t sleep. There wasn’t one position that I felt comfortable laying in. All I could think about was that my baby was in distress and did not have the amniotic fluid she needed to survive.\nThe doctor was wrong.\nAfter a few days of sitting and waiting, I made an appointment with a perinatologist. I had to wait about another week, but my regular OB saw me every few days to check the heartbeat. When I met with the specialist he had a plan. I was going to be admitted into the hospital to be monitored and we would just wait for the baby to decide when she was ready.\nA month and a half later, when I was 27 weeks pregnant, Alayna was born. After a short labor and a natural birth, I was not allowed to hold my baby. My boyfriend, Tim, was not able to cut the cord. We were able to have the shortest glimpse of our beautiful baby girl then she was immediately taken to the NICU and it would be hours before we could see her again. It would be hours till Tim would see me again.\nI was taken to surgery because of a complication and was in the operating room for 3 hours. Tim sat in a waiting room with my mother while they patiently waited for someone to give them any information on my medical condition; waiting for anything on Alayna.\nOnce I was in recovery, a neonatologist came to the room to give us the update. Alayna was 2 pounds and 7 ounces. On an oscillator and needed 3 chest tubes for a collapsed lung. She was receiving pain medication and blood pressure medication to stabilize her. Her doctor told us that the chances of her making it weren’t high, but they were doing everything they could.\nHours turned into days and days turned into weeks. When she was 2 weeks old, we got to hold her for the first time. I will never forget the moment I first held her. As soon as her chest touched mine she was silent. We just listened to her breathe peacefully, full of comfort.\nThose weeks turned into a month and then our hearts were shattered. Alayna had a condition called hydrocephalus from brain hemorrhaging at birth and needed surgery. Although she was in a state of the art NICU, infant surgery was not possible. Within a day’s time we had her transferred from Bucks County, PA to Wilmington Delaware, where the best neurosurgeon was for her condition. She had her first surgery to temporarily control the fluid in her brain and after a few days it seemed that we were heading in the right direction.\nWe had gone from being told daily that she would die to finally having hope. Alayna was steadily gaining weight and we found our hope. All of our newborn experiences were happening in the NICU. Nurses and doctors were coming in and out. Everyday something new was happening. She was on high levels of oxygen in order to stimulate breathing and receiving speech and physical therapy.\nAs we were heading close to her true due date, the temporary shunt that was placed in her head was failing and the surgeon had to decide what to do next.\nHe decided to give her a permeant shunt to keep controlling the hydrocephalus, which she would go home with. We prayed and waited for the second surgery. We were worried that the surgery would hold her back from a respiratory stand point and she would need to learn how to breathe again.\nShe bounced back tremendously from her second surgery and was herself the next day. One week after her surgery she was discharged from the hospital to come home on oxygen and a feeding tube. That feeding tube came out two weeks later and after one month, weaning oxygen started.\nThat brings me to today. Today, our princess is almost 8 weeks past her due date and we couldn’t be more thankful to god for our miracle. Everything that happened to Alayna and I was impossible from a medical point of view. The doctors had little to no explanation as to why my water broke and why I didn’t go into labor within 48 hours.\nHaving Alayna was never a part of the plan, but life happens when we are busy making plans and Alayna has changed my life and I can’t wait to see what life has in store for our little fighter, our big miracle.", "domain": "health"}

Similar to Parts A and B of Medicare, it is available to beneficiaries during their Initial Enrollment Period (IEP), when they are first turning 65, and they can enroll for up to three months after the 65th birthday month. Medicare also allows for Special Election Periods (SEPs) for people who don’t need Medicare’s Part D drug coverage when they are turning 65 allowing them an opportunity to enroll in a prescription drug plan at a later date. In our experience, SEPs are most commonly used when they have worked past 65 years of age and they no longer have access to their group health insurance during retirement.\nEven though Medicare Part D’s coverage is optional, there is a late enrollment penalty if a beneficiary does not enroll during their Initial Eligibility Period and goes without creditable prescription drug coverage for more than 63 days. “Creditable” drug coverage means that the coverage is at least as good as what Medicare provides.\nNote: Prescription discount programs or savings cards do not count as creditable coverage, even if they seem adequate to the beneficiary.\nThe Medicare Part D late enrollment penalty is a surcharge on the plan’s premium. It is calculated by multiplying the national base premium for Part D plans, which is $33.06 in 2021, by 1% for each full month that the enrollee went uncovered by creditable prescription drug coverage, and rounding that amount to the nearest $0.10. That amount is added on to the premium for the Part D prescription drug plan that the enrollee has chosen, and as long as that enrollee is paying their own Part D premiums, they will have to pay that extra percentage.\nFor example, Mrs. Smith is currently eligible for Medicare and her initial Enrollment Period ended on May 31, 2013. She doesn’t have prescription drug coverage from any other source. She didn’t enroll in a Part D prescription drug plan by May 31, 2013; instead enrolling during the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) that ended on December 7, 2015. Her drug coverage was effective January 1, 2016.\n2017: Medicare will recalculate Mrs. Smith’s penalty using the 2017 base beneficiary premium ($35.63). In 2017, Mrs. Smith’s new monthly penalty in 2017 is 31% of $35.63 or $11.05 each month. Since the monthly penalty is always rounded to the nearest $0.10, she pays $11.10 each month in addition to her plan’s monthly premium.\n2018: Medicare will recalculate Mrs. Smith’s penalty using the 2018 base beneficiary premium ($35.02). For 2018, Mrs. Smith’s new monthly penalty is 31% of $35.02 or $10.86 each month. However, since the monthly penalty is rounded to the nearest $0.10, she can expect to pay $10.90 each month in addition to her plan’s premium.\nFor information about the Medicare late enrollment penalty for Part B, click here.", "domain": "health"}

For those of you who are setting goals revolved around health & fitness, having a set plan when it comes to your nutrition is going to be a 🔑KEY🔑component to your success!\nFood plays a MAJOR part in the health of your body & without proper nutrition your goals aren’t going to be sustainable. Personally, I use On The Mark Meals to prep my food each week because it cuts out any “choice” for me to eat poorly & I still know what’s going into my body (plus they taste BOMB😋). This also allows me to meet my nutrition goals without over or under-eating AKA it gives me a set PLAN on how to achieve my nutrition goals.\nSo what are you looking to get out of 2018? & what is your plan of attack to get you there?\nWebsite for On The Mark Meals (use \"JACLYN25\" for 25% off your first order)\nIf you have already read My Story or just in general know anything about the past year of my life you would know that 2017 was one of the most challenging and growth-filled years of my life. To keep things brief, this time last year I was overly focused on the things I had recently lost in my life; family members, significant other, close friends, self-confidence, and my faith.\nI remember so distinctively coming home from Christmas at my parents’ house, to a very empty apartment that felt 1000x lonelier than ever before. I felt empty and stagnant with my life... But in that same moment, I decided that feeling wasn’t good enough for me. I was not the unmotivated person I had let myself slip into being. SO, what did I do? I told myself to get out of my own head & start after something new, something that would give me a purpose,… the GYM.\nI had been to the gym on & off over the past few months but nothing consistent at all (I’m talking once or twice every 2 weeks & then being “too sore” to go back again for days on end… mean while stuffing my face with cookies). I didn’t know a lot, besides what I had learned here and there through my random “gym phases” throughout my life, but I knew one thing:\nI wanted to be strong (mentally & physically).\nI also knew that strength was not the same thing as “skinny,” and strength did not mean counting every single calorie I ate… Strength meant learning to properly lift weights, to have a positive relationship with food, and not to need a number on a scale to define my happiness.\nSo I challenged myself to 12 weeks. Twelve weeks of finding a true routine in the gym. Twelve weeks without stepping on a scale. Twelve weeks without counting a single calorie, but instead focusing on eating a balanced and healthy diet (aka: I didn’t fully cut out the cookies, I only ate them in moderation).\nWhen I first decided on this “12 week goal to health,” all I wanted more than anything was to prove to MYSELF that I could do this, that I could actually stick to a healthy and fitness based life style for more than just a few days or weeks. This wasn’t about anyone else… this was about ME regaining the purpose for myself that I had lost and I REFUSED to let myself quit this goal… 12 weeks, that’s all I was focused on.\nAnd you know what? I started back in the gym, I found what worked for me (lifting & fitness classes), I focused on loving the healthy food I was eating & not looking at food as “good or bad,” & I stopped looking for scale victories… because I was damned if some random number was going to define my hard work and personal victories. The more I got out of my own head and into a positive outlook on health and fitness, the more the weeks seemed to fly by… 1 week, to 4 weeks, to 9 weeks… to finally hitting my goal... 12 weeks.\nI was damn proud of myself... I wanted more than anything to just hit 12 weeks, and now, 12 weeks was only a small stepping stone to a much longer process filled with new goals I wanted to achieve.\n12 weeks? I was focused on 12 more and another 12 beyond that. Those 12 weeks changed my life. When I stopped focusing on what I had lost and started focusing on everything I had the ability to gain, EVERYTHING CHANGED. I wasn’t just physically growing stronger, but mentally I became a completely different person… someone who actually LOVED (& still loves) them self.\nNow, here I am exactly one year later ready to take on an entirely new set of goals that I NEVER EVER would of thought possible this time last year (competing in a fitness competition, starting a blog, positively pushing health and fitness through social media... say what?!), but I'm ready and I know if I genuinely put my mind to it, no matter how hard it gets, I can achieve it.\nThe same goes for you! ANYTHING you want to get out of life you can make happen. I don't care if you want to run a marathon but have never ran a day in your life, if you want to compete in a body building competition but have never picked up a weight, if you want to change your eating habits but can't remember the last time you ate a \"healthy\" meal... I seriously do not care WHAT it is, I just know that if you put your heart and mind towards that goal, give yourself a set plan on how to achieve it, and truly work at it... you CAN and you WILL make it happen.\n12 weeks changed my life &, if you want bad enough, 12 weeks can change yours too.\nI know for a lot of people, especially women, I have spoken with about fitness chose not to try new things, especially when it comes to weight training, because of an intimidation factor on the weight room floor, also known as gymtimidation. But, as a female who lifts daily, I’m telling you to GET PAST THIS!\nI understand that for anyone trying to get back into a gym routine, or starting one for the first time, you need to get comfortable with your exercises. However, don’t confused finding your comfort level with being scared to push yourself and try new things just because you are intimidated by other people in the gym or what they may think! Seriously, I know we get it wrapped in our heads that people may be watching or “judging” us, but, 9 out of 10 times, they aren’t!\nEveryone is in the gym trying to push themselves to meet new goals. Meaning the gym should be a supportive environment, filled with people who want to see others succeed. So who cares if you’ve never tried a specific exercise or never even lifted a barbell before, get in there and try it out! I promise you that the only person who actually cares about what you’re doing is YOU. Everyone else is focused on their own workouts, and isn’t at all worried about what you are doing (& if for whatever crazy reason they are, then that is their problem, NOT yours).\nAlso, do NOT be scared to ask for help!\nWhen it comes to learning new exercises you always want to ensure that you’re performing the movement with proper form, in order to prevent any kind of injury from occurring. One of the best ways to prevent this is by asking someone for help! Every gym you go to should have a trainer standing by that will be more than willing to teach you proper form on an exercise. Don’t be scared to ask them!\nOr, if you see someone doing an exercise you haven’t seen before or have wanted to try it out, ask them about it! Like I said before, everyone is in the gym to succeed, so there is no reason everyone should be anything but nice to others in that environment. Yes everyone has their headphones in and is zoned out, but most people are going to be more than willing to be quickly interrupted in order help someone who asks them, so stop being “gymtimidated” and just ask them!\nYour fitness journey should be yours and yours alone. Stop caring about what other people might think about you. You want to lift heavy weights? Pick them up! You want to wear spandex shorts? Rock those shorts. You want to take a gym selfie? Flex those muscles!\nBe PROUD of who you are, every new goal you set to achieve, and the process you’ve been on to get to meet those milestones… no one else matters in these situations but YOU! Lose this “gymtimidation” mentality (seriously, 99% of the time people aren’t even paying attention to you in the slightest, it’s all a mental game we’ve built in our own heads). Focus on your goals, get yourself on that weight floor and put in work, because you are awesome and can do ANYTHING that you put your mind to!\nBe Happy. Be Healthy. Be a Fighter.", "domain": "health"}

You also know how difficult the transition can be once they leave the hospital…and have had nothing to really help them with…until now. You also worry about 30-day hospital readmissions and how you can help keep your patients from ending up back in the hospital.\nInformation Overload- While lots of information exists, how do your patients find it? We know you wish you could walk each of your patients through their recovery, step-by-step. But that’s simply not realistic — you don’t have the time or the resources. Who can you trust to guide them through the three journeys of every ostomy patient— the physical, mechanical, and emotional?\nYour Patients Deserve more- Without support and education, most patients are confused, anxious, and at an increased risk for complications and unnecessary hospital readmissions. The non-profit Alive & Kicking Ostomy Recovery Program was developed with support and educational resources from the American College of Surgeons, American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons, United Ostomy Associations of America, Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation, the WOCN Society, NFL great Rolf Benirschke and a group of committed patients.\nA good surgical outcome doesn’t guarantee success for your patients without tools to help educate, support, and guide them through their transition.\nThat’s why we put this program together – to ensure your patients have a GREAT life after their ostomy operation.\nMeet Rolf Benirschke\nHe gets it. Rolf had ostomy surgery in his third season and then returned to the NFL to play seven more years. As the third most accurate placekicker in NFL history when he retired, Rolf had an illustrious 10-year career with the San Diego Chargers during which he earned numerous honors including All-Pro, playing in the Pro Bowl, becoming the 20th player inducted into the Chargers Hall of Fame, and being named the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year, the NFL’s highest honor.\nIn the middle of Rolf’s third season, he underwent two major abdominal surgeries six days apart that left him with two ostomy pouches. He lost 65 pounds and spent almost six weeks in the ICU fighting for his life. When he was finally released from the hospital, he was forced to take a journey that led to deep despair as he wrestled with whether life was even worth living, back to extraordinary heights, and fulfilling self-discovery. With great support and encouragement from fans, family, and teammates, along with the discovery of an “indomitable spirit” he never knew he possessed, he returned to the NFL and played seven more seasons.\nBecause he could relate to the physical and emotional pain of the more than 100,000 patients who go through ostomy surgery annually in the U.S., Rolf knew he had to do something to help. So, after years of speaking to WOC nurses and encouraging countless patients along the way, he developed the Alive & Kicking Ostomy Recovery Program, to provide the educational and emotional resources he wished had been available to him, all in one place, that delivered the right information at the right time.\nThe Guided Recovery Program\nRolf has a plan for each patient, to guide them from survival to living functionally, to ultimately getting their life back and thriving.\nWe’ve taken the best medical/clinical information out there, added Rolf’s personal experience, along with the wisdom from hundreds of other patients, and put it all in an easy to follow format so you can find exactly what you need to know when you need to know it.\nLike everything in life, the more effort you put in, the greater your chance to succeed. We’ll offer you specific ways to apply the knowledge, plus work through meaningful exercises and activities.\nShare your experiences with other patients. Tell your story. Mentor others and make a difference in someone else’s life.\nWe’ve made all of this possible through an accessible, easy-to-use virtual program.\n\"The Alive & Kicking program changed everything for me. Seriously, I felt completely alone, afraid, and unsure how I was going to live with my ostomy. This program came at just the right time and walked me through everything. Now, not only am I doing great, but I also love being a part of this community.”\n- Justin from Philadelphia\nProvides peace of mind through detailed information about ostomy surgery and the road to recovery including expectations, outcomes, FAQ’s, and valuable resources.\nHaving 24/7 virtual access to our library of resources gives you the opportunity to find the answers to your questions when you need them, and keeps you from feeling overwhelmed.\nRolf serves as your personal coach, sharing inspirational messages and tips to help you navigate common ostomy-related issues.\nMental Health Support\nCelebrate milestones and take advantage of mental health practices like mindfulness and journaling, while receiving valuable encouragement and insights from fellow patients.\nBe a Part of a Community\nOur community of patients and medical professionals is special. You’ll have the opportunity to share all your joys and struggles with people who want you to succeed.\nImportant information is provided on everything from the different types of pouches, accessories, problem-solving, diet, support groups, and more.\nJoin Our Launch Team\nStep 1: Share the program.\nHand them the printout for the program and share why it would be helpful for their recovery.\nStep 2: Follow-up.\nGive them a call to ensure they’ve taken the opportunity to signup for the program.\nStep 3: Stay Connected.\nReceive messages from your patients.", "domain": "health"}

Establishing proper oral healthcare at a young age helps to build a foundation of healthy habits to last a lifetime.\nOur practice provides the following services:\nWhen children are introduced at a young age to thinking positively about their oral health and proper care of their teeth and gums, they learn habits that will help them avoid easy-to-prevent problems over their lifetime.\n- Regular checkups every six months assists in removing stain and plaque from teeth and gums.\n- Learning the proper way to care for your child’s teeth and gums at home is essential to preventing cavities.\n- Children are growing and changing constantly. At each visit, we will provide you with knowledge about what growth and development to expect in the coming months. For example, we might discuss when to get rid of the sippy cup, when to work on quitting the thumb habit, when adult teeth will be coming in or when orthodontics will be necessary for your child.\n- Keeping everyone well informed is the best way to keep your child’s mouth healthy.\n- Dr. Angie uses the AAPD guidelines on prescribing radiographs\n- X-rays can supplement the clinical examination and may be needed to assess health, growth and development. For example, she may request an x-ray to survey the eruption of teeth, check for missing teeth, evaluate a trauma, or monitor for bone diseases and other oral pathologies.\n- Cavities can form in between the teeth, and the only way to anticipate or diagnose a cavity forming this way is through bitewing radiographs. To assess the health of periodontal ligament, alveolar bone, and the nerve of a tooth a periapical radiograph may be prescribed. Panoramic Radiographs show the full mouth and jaw.\n- Morningside Pediatric Dentistry is committed to minimizing radiation exposure to our young patients. We use digital radiography which provides 90% less exposure than traditional x-ray film. Radiation exposure from a set of bitewing radiographs is less than the amount an individual receives from daily radiation from the sun or from an airline flight.\n- Fluoride prevents cavities. In fact, our neighbors at the CDC noted that fluoridated water was one of the greatest public health initiatives of the 20th century. That’s because fluoridated water reduced decay rates by 50%.\n- “Too much of a good thing” can be bad. Ingesting too much fluoride can upset the stomach and over time can lead to fluorosis—staining of the teeth.\n- Our office evaluates our patients’ fluoride exposure and caries risk to make the right recommendation in fluoride treatment for each patient.\n- Evidence has shown that sealants when placed and maintained properly can reduce cavity rates by 80%.\n- Sealants are a resin based material that are bonded over the grooves of the teeth. Sealants prevent food and bacteria from getting stuck in the grooves and causing decay.\nSports and hobbies can take their toll on our smiles. Preventing tooth related injuries with a simple mouthguard is a simple and easy investment in protecting your child’s smile.\nAt Morningside Pediatric Dentistry we seek to provide quality care in a safe and positive environment. We offer materials that can promote healing and restore teeth to their normal function.\nRestorative dental treatments can remove the infection and decay that have occurred and restore the tooth’s function and structural integrity to guide the patient back to health. In addition, restorative treatments can repair chipped or fractured teeth and restore the esthetics of a patient’s smile.\nOur office restores teeth with tooth colored fillings that are bonded to the teeth. These fillings may even release fluoride to help protect the tooth.\nIf a large amount of tooth structure is missing from a tooth, a bonded filling will not provide the resilience and strength to function. A stainless steel crown may be an option to fully cover the tooth and restore function. Stainless steel crowns on baby teeth are cemented on and fall off with the baby tooth when it exfoliates.\nSometimes dental infection can travel through the layers of the tooth to the nerve and blood supply, otherwise known as the pulp. Treatments attempt to disinfect and heal the nerve to maintain the vitality of the tooth. When a nerve treatment is done, the tooth is restored with a stainless steel crown to provided structural integrity and protect the nerve.\nPlease call 911 for medical emergencies. If your child solely sustained a dental injury, please call our office as soon as possible. The outcome of many dental emergencies are response-time dependent.\n- Baby tooth pushed out—call our office as soon as possible. Do not replant a baby tooth as this may damage the developing permanent tooth\n- Adult/permanent tooth knocked out—call our office as soon as possible. Put the tooth in Tooth Saving Solution if available (Hanks Balanced Salt Solution). If unavailable put the tooth in milk and shake off any excess dirt or debris. If you can put the tooth back in the socket without the risk of the patient swallowing it, do so and hold in place. If the patient cannot keep the tooth in the mouth or is too young, keep in milk. If milk is unavailable, keep the tooth in water. Try not to let the tooth dry out.\n- Chipped or Fractured Tooth: Call our office a call as soon as you can.\n- Toothache from a cavity-- If there is swelling that affects your child’s breathing or swallowing take him to the Emergency Room immediately. Otherwise, please call our office as soon as possible.\n- Toothache without a visible source of infection—call our office.\n- Gum or tissue pain—there are many possible reasons for gum pain—ulcers, sores, new teeth eruption. Call our office to schedule an appointment.\nIf a tooth is lost prematurely, a space maintainer device is used to hold the space so that other teeth do not drift or tilt and possibly block the eruption of permanent teeth.\nAt an appropriate age and development, appliances may be used to help children extinguish habits such as thumb sucking or tongue thrust. Allow the doctor to evaluate if this may work for your child.\nSafe and effective inhaled gas that leaves the body immediately after use. Helps with anxiety and attention span", "domain": "health"}

Quarantine can end after 10 days, or after 7 days if there was a negative test sometime during day 5-7, but only if the employee wears a mask, is counseled about mitigation strategies (e.g., staying 6 feet from others and taking other precautions to prevent the spread of COVID), and monitors symptoms daily while remaining symptom-free for the entire 14 day quarantine period. Critical infrastructure employees may return to work prior to quarantine’s end if they have no symptoms, have no positive test, wear masks and take other COVID precautions, but only “as a last resort and only in limited circumstances, such as when cessation of operation of a facility may cause serious harm or danger to public health or safety.”\nAdditionally, the CDC has indicated that non-healthcare employees who are fully vaccinated and have no symptoms do not need to quarantine or be tested if exposed to COVID. However, those employees must still watch for COVID symptoms for 14 days after exposure, and if they develop symptoms they should quarantine, get clinically evaluated, and get tested if indicated.\nThe State of Tennessee’s Department of Health (“TDOH”) has adopted a position similar to the CDC. It recommends a 14-day quarantine but if there are no symptoms permits a 10-day quarantine without testing or a 7-day quarantine “if they test negative by a PCR or antigen test after Day 5.” TDOH also exempts certain individuals from quarantine. For example, fully vaccinated individuals do not have to quarantine if they have no symptoms after exposure (except for healthcare and certain group settings). Individuals who already had COVID-19 within the last 3 months are also exempt from quarantine if they recovered and remain without symptoms. Further, unvaccinated persons do not have to quarantine if they tested antibody positive within 3 months before or immediately after exposure, have had no symptoms, and have no contact with persons at high risk of severe illness from COVID-19.\nThis article is for informational purposes only and is not intended to provide legal or tax advice.

Individuals can only end quarantine prior to day 14 if there are no clinical signs of COVID-19 upon daily monitoring (which must continue through quarantine day 14), they are counseled about the need to strictly adhere to all mitigation strategies through quarantine day 14 and about what to do if symptoms develop, and if symptoms do develop they immediately quarantine and contact their healthcare provider or public health department.

An employee is “fully vaccinated” as of 2 weeks after their second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, or 2 weeks after Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose vaccine. See id.  “Releasing Cases and Contacts from Isolation and Quarantine,” Tennessee Department of Health, https://www.tn.gov/content/dam/tn/health/documents/cedep/novel-coronavirus/Isolation-QuarantineRelease.pdf (Apr. 7, 2021). Individuals in Tennessee must be quarantined after exposure according to non-household or household contact guidance. See id. Basically, both methods follow the 14-, 7- and 10- day quarantine rules, but for household contact the first day of quarantine must be counted from the first day exposure is no longer occurring in the household (i.e., the day the person with COVID has completed quarantine or has completely separated from others in the house according to the Department of Health’s guidance). See id.\n Individuals are “fully vaccinated” if vaccinated 2 weeks prior to exposure with the single-dose vaccine or the second dose of a 2-dose vaccination series. See id. “Exposure” means contact with an individual with COVID two days prior to his symptom onset (or specimen collection date if no symptoms) through the end of his quarantine. See id. Vaccinated individuals not subject to quarantine should still self-monitor for symptoms for 14 days after exposure, and if COVID-19 symptoms develop, must immediately isolate, be clinically evaluated, and be tested if indicated. The vaccination exemption to quarantine does not apply to healthcare personnel, patients, or residents in healthcare settings or non-healthcare congregate settings. See id. “Vaccinated healthcare personnel, patients, and residents in healthcare settings” must follow the CDC guidance at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/infection-control-after-vaccination.html. “Releasing Cases and Contacts from Isolation and Quarantine,” Tennessee Department of Health, https://www.tn.gov/content/dam/tn/health/documents/cedep/novel-coronavirus/Isolation-QuarantineRelease.pdf.

I’ve lost 22 pounds, and I am so freaking proud of myself! It was truly a gift to myself, and I was determined to meet my 20 pound goal! Full disclaimer before I get into my simple changes for weight loss…I needed a boost. I chose to do the Optavia program after seeing my coworker lose a ton of weight and keep it off. This program taught me a lot about how my body responds to food or what they like to call “fuelings.” This approach taught me how to eat better, and in the end I am so thankful I did the program. But I do want to share some of the major things I learned along the way regardless of any weight loss program.\nStart your morning off low calorie and low carb by skipping the sugar and sugary creamer. I think most people know this, but they really struggle changing their coffee habits. It does take time to make the changes, so give yourself about a week or so to get used to it. Now, I would NEVER be able to drink a sugary cup of coffee again. So what did I do?\n- I replaced my sugar with Stevia and my creamer with Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk. Don’t do both at the same time, so the transition won’t feel so hard. Replace the sugar first for about a week or so, and then change the creamer.\n- The almond milk is 30 calories per cup, so a few tablespoons is under 5 calories. It’s a great switch!!\n- I use the Blue Diamond Almond Breeze brand. Make sure you buy the UNSWEETENED one.\nAdd protein to your coffee using Collagen Peptides. This is my favorite brand.\n- It is completely tasteless and a great way to bump up your protein just from your morning coffee!\n- I even have a cup in the afternoon, and I don’t feel guilty!\nI cannot emphasize this one enough! MEAL PREP!! Not just dinners, but plan out your breakfast, snacks, lunch, and even late night treats! This is the key to staying on track and not falling into that temptation of grabbing convenience food that is loaded with carbs and calories. I often make these on Sunday, and I have good choices to choose from for my week.\nAnother full disclamer: Sometimes, I eat something different from my family. It’s okay. I have it already prepared, so I don’t feel like I’m cooking 2 meals at night. I skip out on the pasta night unless I grab some low carb options, and I modify meals where I can. For example, I have a lettuce wrap burger or lettuce wrap taco. It makes a huge difference in that overall carb consumption, and you will see the weight drop!\nHere are some of my favorite SKINNY RECIPES:\nFind all MY SKINNY RECIPES HERE!!!\nMy FAVORITE High-Protein Snacks:\n- Low Carb/High Protein Cereals:\nMagic Spoon – I love the Fruity flavor. It tastes just like fruit loops.\nRatio Keto Maple Almond Crunch Cereal. I eat this one all the time with almond milk!\n- Low Carb/High Protein Chips:\nQuest Loaded Taco Chips\nBeanitos White Bean Tortilla Chips\nSiete Grain Free Tortilla Chips\n- Low Carb/High Protein Yogurt:\nOikos Triple Zero Yogurt\nOther VERY IMPORTANT Tips:\n- Aim for 80 oz of water a day. Drinking water is a major help to achieving weight loss goals.\n- Try to eat small high protein meals every 2 1/2 to 3 hours. For breakfast and snacks, try to keep these under 150 calories and 10 grams or more of protein. Keep lunch around 300 calories and dinner under 500 calories.\n- Use a tracker like My Fitness Pal. All of my recipes easily import into the app under the “recipe” tab.\n- Use a food scale to weigh your protein to ensure you are getting the correct amount!\n- Visit my Amazon Storefront for some of the items that helped me in my weight loss journey.\nYou can find more MAIN DISH RECIPES HERE.\nYou can find ALL RECIPES HERE.\nFor more ideas, follow me on FACEBOOK, PINTEREST, INSTAGRAM, AND TWITTER.\nGet FREE recipes delivered to you by email: SIGN UP HERE!", "domain": "health"}

Dr. Vives has been enjoying a well-deserved retirement since October 2017.\nWe base our recommendations on the best scientific evidence and medical guidelines. We value continuity of care and make every effort to ensure you will see your primary care provider for visits. If your pediatrician is not available, you will meet with one of our other pediatricians or pediatric nurse practitioners.\nIn 2010, we adopted the Medical Home model of care. The American Academy of Pediatrics has defined the Medical Home as accessible, continuous, comprehensive, family-centered, well-coordinated, and compassionate care. Our medical home care coordinator (MHCC) leads our efforts to continually improve our patients' experience and the quality of care we deliver. As a result, we are better able to connect patients with external resources such as mental health providers and sub specialists and assist families in obtaining insurance coverage for medications, supplies and medical equipment.\nIf your child has special health care needs, you may contact our MHCC at 617-277-2541 for assistance in coordinating your child's care. Among other tasks, she can help you schedule visits with specialists and find community-based organizations or resources that will be beneficial to you or your child.\nOur office is open for scheduled appointments Monday through Friday from 9am - 5pm. Later appointments are also offered on certain days. Please inquire with our reception desk for availability.\nFor new minor health concerns, such as sore throat, ear infection, fever, etc. we also offer a sick visit walk-in hour, Monday - Friday, 9 - 10 am. No appointment is necessary during this walk-in hour. More complicated or ongoing health issues (such as fatigue, chronic headaches, abdominal pain, or behavior questions) should be addressed during a scheduled appointment, so that more time is available.\nAfter Hours, Weekends and Holidays\nWhen the office is closed, the answering service can page the on-call physician 24 hours per day, seven days per week for urgent matters. Please call our regular phone number 617-277-2541. You should expect a callback within 30 minutes. If you do not hear from us within 30 minutes, please page again. Chestnut Hill Pediatrics shares after-hours coverage with 2 other local pediatricians. For non-urgent matters, please call during normal office hours, Monday through Friday, from 9:00am - 5:00pm.\nSick visits are available at our office or with a provider in our coverage group in the mornings on Saturday, Sunday, and all holidays. If you would like to schedule a sick visit, please call 617-277-2541, preferably between 9-11am. Our coverage team is also available to answer questions after hours for urgent matters --- please call our main number to have the on-call provider paged.\nWell Child Visits: Appointments may be scheduled up to one year in advance. Well visits can usually be scheduled within 4 weeks, however early morning and after school well visits are popular and fill early. Please call to schedule well in advance or log-in to the Patient Portal to request a visit.\nSick Visits: We routinely keep appointments open for urgent, same day visits. We make every effort to schedule your sick visit the same day, with your child’s primary care clinician. Please call as early as possible for same-day sick visits. Non-urgent appointments (follow up, chronic illness) will be scheduled as determined to be appropriate and generally within 1 week.\nPrescription requests should be called-in to 617-277-2541 or requested via the Patient Portal during regular office hours Monday to Friday. Please allow 72 hours for refills of medications. Please do not request routine prescription refills during evenings or weekends.\nWe accept most forms of health insurance.

Generally, it can take a couple of weeks for the body to start reaping the many benefits of your new routine and sometimes, up to three months(!) until we notice the more potent effects. When you start taking vitamins, various processes occur in your body as it absorbs and utilizes these essential nutrients. The specific effects and processes can vary depending on the type of supplement and its role in the body.\nHere’s what happens in your body when you start taking vitamins:\n- Digestion and Absorption: Once you ingest supplements, they go through the process of digestion. Digestive enzymes break down the supplemental components, releasing the nutrients. Water-soluble vitamins (like vitamin C and the B vitamins) and most other nutrients are absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the walls of your small intestine, while fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E, and K) are absorbed along with dietary fat through specialized structures called micelles.\n- Transport: Once absorbed into the bloodstream, nutrients are transported throughout the body via the circulatory system. They can travel to various tissues and organs, including the liver and adipose (fat) tissues.\n- Utilization: Different nutrients in supplements serve various functions in the body. For example:\n- Vitamins and Minerals play essential roles in metabolic processes, immune function, bone health, and more.\n- Amino Acids are the building blocks of proteins, used for tissue repair and synthesis of enzymes and hormones.\n- Herbal Extracts and Bioactive Compounds may have specific effects on various body systems, such as antioxidants or anti-inflammatory properties.\n- Metabolism: Nutrients from supplements often act as cofactors or coenzymes, working with enzymes to facilitate biochemical reactions. For example, B vitamins help convert food into energy, while minerals like zinc are essential for enzyme function.\n- Storage and Excretion: Depending on the nutrient, the body may store or excrete excess amounts. Water-soluble vitamins (e.g., vitamin C, B vitamins) are generally excreted in urine if consumed in excess. Fat-soluble vitamins (e.g., vitamins A, D, E, and K) can be stored in the body’s fat tissues and liver. Excessive intake of certain supplements can lead to toxicity and adverse effects.\nHere’s what happens to your body when you start taking supplements:\nNow that you know what’s going on beneath the surface, let’s chat about the fun part–the effects that you’ll start to see and feel. If you formulated by completing the quiz or built your stack with your supplement knowledge, you likely put together a blend to support something specific—energy, digestion, hormonal health, or maybe even a mix of everything to support your overall well-being. What’s neat about supplements is that since all body systems are interconnected, even if you’re supplementing for one goal, you may notice a trickle effect into other body systems. Let’s say you packed your supplement with probiotics to improve digestion—not only might your digestive system see relief, but you may also notice more energy, improved cognition, and even a stronger immune system. Some overall effects you may notice when you start taking supplements:\n- More Energy\nWhether this was one of your goals or not, depending on your current energy levels you may notice a boost or just more consistent energy. This is because the job of many vitamins is to convert food into energy.\n- Better Mood\nAgain, whether you’ve selected this as a goal or not, it may be something you’ll notice. Vitamins and minerals can impact neurotransmitters, influencing mood. For example, If your formula contains B vitamins or magnesium, these can have an affect on mood. If your goal wasn’t mood, but you’re targeting the body system that needs support, whether it’s relief in the digestive tract, or your hormones are reaching a state of balance, you may see an improvement in your overall mood.\n- Commitment to Health\nIt’s said that if you start your day with a healthy habit, you’re more likely to continue making healthy choices throughout the day. Supplements complement a healthy diet and lifestyle, so if you’ve made the step with supplements (or are thinking about it), it may help you to make healthier choices throughout the day.\nA note on nausea, upset stomach and transient digestive troubles: it can happen! If you are new to taking vitamins, your body may be adjusting to higher nutrient levels. Depending on your capsule count, you can take half with breakfast and the remaining half with lunch. You should avoid taking vitamins on an empty stomach—it helps to take alongside food since some minerals can be hard on an empty stomach (it can also help with the bioavailability of fat-soluble nutrients). If you tend to skip breakfast, or if your breakfast is on the lighter side, you can also try taking your daily dose at lunch.\nTip: Since changes can be subtle, we like to keep a health diary to help track some of the changes we do feel. Occasionally, we forget how crummy we used to feel when we are on a healing journey, it’s our body’s way of protecting us. It can be nice to look back and see how far you’ve come.\nWhen you start your supplement journey, it’s important to use supplements as directed and not exceed recommended dosages. It’s true what they say—you can indeed have too much of a good thing, and excessive intake of certain nutrients can lead to health issues and complications. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have underlying health conditions or take medications, to ensure safety and efficacy.", "domain": "health"}

Dr. Murat Mermerkaya answered the most curious questions about vaginismus.\nVaginismus is one of the most common ailments in women. It usually develops due to fear of the first night and is seen in one in every 10 women in our society. The symptoms of vaginismus, a treatable disease, are as follows:\nInvoluntary contraction, fear and panic at the moment of unification.\nDon’t deny the relationship.\nHalf of sexual intercourse.\nInability to insert a pad or tampon into the vagina.\nNot being able to look at the Genital area, not being able to touch it\nNot allowing the partner to touch the genital area.\nInability to place suppository-type drugs in the vagina for therapeutic purposes.\nIs it possible that vaginismus will pass on its own?\nStudies show that the vaginismus problem has a 20 percent chance of self-healing. But with sexual therapies, it is possible to treat up to 90 percent and recover in less time.\nVaginismus puts serious pressure on the woman over time.

As a licensed psychologist, I work with patients across Alaska to address a variety of mental health problems. I offer individual therapy, couples therapy, and psychological assessment services, which you can read about below. All of my therapy and assessment services are currently offered through video telehealth.\nPlease contact me by phone or email if you are interested in scheduling a therapy or assessment appointment. Before scheduling our first session, I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to discuss what you need and how I can help.\nMany people seek therapy when they feel stuck with a mental health problem, such as depression, anxiety, unwanted relationship patterns, or difficulty recovering from a painful experience. Others may be struggling to cope with external sources of stress, like discrimination, abuse, or trauma. As a licensed psychologist, I help patients get unstuck by providing therapy that is supportive, confidential, and challenging. By helping you step out of your comfort zone, we can find new ways of coping with the issues you are struggling with or avoiding.\nThere are many different styles of therapy. For example, some therapists focus on correcting negative thought patterns, and others help patients resolve conflicts from their past. Most established approaches to therapy are equally effective for addressing common psychological problems. However, a therapist's choice of therapeutic style will affect your experience as a patient.\nMy approach to therapy usually includes an exploration of a patient's relationship experiences and emotional attachments to other people. Many of my patients find this approach helpful because stress, anxiety, and unresolved emotional pain often affect how we connect with others.\nI know from my own personal experience how overwhelming it can feel to find a new therapist, so I'm glad you're taking these steps to get help for yourself. I look forward to talking with you about how I can help.\nJust like individuals, couples also seek therapy when they feel stuck in unhelpful patterns of conflict, miscommunication, or avoidance. Couples therapy is similar to individual therapy in many ways, but in couples therapy there are three people involved in treatment: you, your partner, and the therapist. The goal of couples therapy is not to help one individual change, but to help both partners change their relationship to meet shared goals.\nCouples seek therapy for many reasons, but common goals of couples therapy include improving communication, helping partners support each others' needs, dealing with differences in personal values, improving co-parenting skills, navigating life transitions and separations, and treating sexual dysfunction.\nAs a couples therapist, my job is not to \"pick sides\" or settle arguments in your relationship. But I can work with you and your partner to identify your shared goals and remove the obstacles to achieving them.\nNote: I do not provide couples therapy to couples that are currently experiencing intimate partner violence or serious threats of violence.\nResearch has shown that therapy is most effective when patient and therapist form a trusting relationship, so finding a therapist that's a good fit for you is important. We may need to meet for a session or two before we can decide if I'm the right therapist for you.\nI have treated patients with many types of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, suicidal thoughts, relationship concerns, sexuality and gender identity concerns, and experiences of discrimination. I work with patients of all races, religions, gender/sexual identities, nationalities, and immigration statuses. I can only provide therapy in English.\nBefore scheduling our first therapy session, I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to evaluate our potential fit. During this phone call I will want to confirm the following:\nI currently provide therapy and assessment services only by telehealth.\nTelehealth is a term used to describe health care services delivered remotely using technology. I use telehealth to meet with patients by video, so we can still see and hear each other during sessions even if we are not in the same physical location. I use only HIPAA-compliant technologies and practices to protect patient privacy.\nI have years of experience providing therapy by telehealth. I completed a postdoctoral fellowship in telebehavioral health at Texas A&M University. I train graduate student therapists on how to use telehealth. I have also conducted telehealth research studies (you can read more about my telehealth research on my research page). I am confident that I have the experience necessary to provide high-quality telehealth services to most patients.\nWhat is ADHD?\nAttention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that begins in childhood. Although symptoms first appear in youth, as many as two-thirds of children with ADHD will continue experiencing attention-related symptoms into adulthood. About 1 in 40 adults have ADHD.\nThe two distinguishing features of ADHD are inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity. Adults with inattention often have problems with starting and/or finishing projects, organization, forgetfulness, distractibility, and sustaining focus for extended periods of time. Adults with hyperactivity often have problems with fidgeting, restlessness, and talkativeness, and those with impulsivity may struggle with interrupting others, acting without thinking, and engaging in risky behaviors. Adults with ADHD may have only symptoms of inattention, only symptoms of hyperactivity-impulsivity, or a combination of both.\nAdults with ADHD also have weaknesses in executive functioning. Executive functions are a set of mental abilities required for self-control and time management. They are the abilities people use to plan and engage in behaviors over time in order to achieve their goals.\nUntreated ADHD can cause problems in many areas of life, including education, work, personal finances, relationships, and health. A comprehensive ADHD assessment will determine if you have ADHD and how your attention-related symptoms can be treated. Many prescribers who treat ADHD also require a comprehensive psychological evaluation before prescribing stimulant medications like Adderall and Ritalin.\nHow is ADHD Diagnosed?\nThe purpose of an adult ADHD assessment is to determine if you have ADHD. To answer this question, I will meet with you multiple times to collect information, administer psychological tests, and review the final results of your assessment. I will also ask you to complete some parts of the assessment process (like questionnaires about your mental health symptoms) outside of our meetings. At the end of the assessment process I will provide you with a written report summarizing your results in detail, including any diagnoses that fit your symptoms and developmental history. Your report will also include my recommendations for successfully addressing your symptoms, both in and out of treatment.\nFor more information about the assessment process, please review this Adult ADHD Assessment Checklist.\nI offer free psychological assessment services to individuals living in Alaska who need a diagnosis of gender dysphoria in order to access gender affirming health care (including hormone therapy and surgery). Please contact me so we can discuss your needs.\nIndividual therapy: $180 per 50-minute session\nCouples therapy: $240 per 75-minute session\nAdult ADHD assessment: $800 per evaluation\nGender dysphoria assessment: free\nI don't take health insurance for payment and I am not \"in network\" for any health insurance providers. After receiving payment, I can offer patients an itemized receipt for services that may be submitted to a health insurance company with request for reimbursement. However, health insurers may not always reimburse for \"out-of-network\" services.\nI reserve a limited number of free therapy and low-cost assessment appointments for patients from households earning less than 125% of the federal poverty guidelines. You can use this chart to determine if you qualify. If believe you qualify for a fee waiver please let me know and we can discuss a fee waiver.\nI received a Master of Arts and Master of Education in counseling at Columbia University, and I received my doctorate in counseling psychology from Texas A&M University. I also completed a postdoctoral fellowship in telebehavioral health care at the Texas A&M University School of Public Health.\nI have treated clients in a variety of settings, including a psychiatric hospital, free health clinic, community mental health clinic, prison, and university counseling center.\nI believe my years of teaching experience have made me a better therapist, just as my work as a therapist has made me a better educator. In my current position as Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Alaska Anchorage, I train graduate student therapists and teach several classes related to mental health and treatment, including Ethics, Intervention Skills, and Clinical Supervision. I previously held teaching positions at Hampton University and Texas A&M University.\nMy work as a researcher has prepared me to serve clients with evidence-based treatments. I am especially proud of my research on telehealth, which you can read about on my research page.\nI am licensed to practice in Alaska (Licensed Psychologist #189196), Virginia (Licensed Clinical Psychologist #0810006724), and Texas (Licensed Psychologist #38469).\nComplaints in Alaska: The Alaska Board of Psychologists and Psychological Associate Examiners receives questions and complaints regarding the practice of psychology.

Because at every little move or “ouch”, there is the fear that she could be hurt or the unborn baby could be hurt. This is why most people keep pregnant women from doing most activities.\nBeing pregnant comes with a lot of life adjustments from simply a change in wardrobe to a reduction or total withdrawal from the type of activities you would normally do.\nIf you are pregnant or have a pregnant wife at home who cannot keep her hands off the lawnmower and you are curious about this question.\nTable of Contents\nShould You Mow the Lawn While Pregnant?\nYou can mow the lawn while pregnant and if you feel you should, that’s fine too. Mowing the lawn is a safe activity just as long as you are healthy and your pregnancy is healthy too.\nIf you enjoy mowing the lawn and want to keep at it when you are pregnant, then you should pay attention to your body and the signs it is giving. That, way you are in control and conscious of how much energy you are putting into any activity including mowing.\nExercising during pregnancy is advised by most doctors and mowing the lawn is a form of exercise. A perfectly safe form of exercise when done carefully.\nExercises such as that are said to keep a pregnant woman active. It also helps to reduce and possibly eliminate depression, and weight gain, regulate your mood and help delivery. However, exerting too much energy can cause harm to you and the unborn baby.\nPeople have different body systems and different reactions to situations. So not compare yourself to your neighbor who was pregnant some months ago but was still seen mowing her lawn.\nInstead of doing that, go and consult your doctor. Your doctor will let you know if you can mow as much as want and the precautions to take to keep you and the baby safer.\nWhen Is it Not Recommended to Mow the Lawn When Pregnant?\nWhile at the first stage of pregnancy, it might be easy to do your usual activities as time goes on,\nyou need to take things slow and listen to your body. When it screams rest, take the cue and leave the activity. Whatever strength you want to exert now, should be saved for delivery.\nIf mowing the lawn is not your usual activity:\nIt is part of human growth that you learn and practices new things in life, right? But definitely not when you are pregnant. One of the rules of pregnancy states that you can do whatever activity you have always done but no new activity. Don’t just start a new activity now.\nIf mowing the lawn is an activity you have done just once before or never before, don’t start now. Unlike when you are not pregnant, it might cause exhaustion and dehydration.\nIf your pregnancy is considered high-risk:\nIf your doctor checked and found that your pregnancy is a high-risk one, he will limit the kind of activities and even the type of food you eat at least for the first trimester.\nIf you also have other health conditions like diabetes, the kind of activities you engage in will be restricted.\nDischarges and pain:\nIf you see blood spottings, bleeding, excess vagina discharge, or any discharge at all, you might want to get someone else to do the mowing. Also if you feel sharp pains in your body or feel lighthearted, you should go lie down and rest.\nThis is not the time to showcase strength for mowing but strength in keeping you and your baby safe.\nIf it causes allergic reactions:\nDuring pregnancy, the body changes so much that the normal becomes abnormal. The woman might even begin to react to activities or things that were her favorite.\nIn this case, she might notice that mowing the lawn causes some allergic reactions to her skin or health. If and when you notice this, leave the mowing to someone else.\nWhen the condition of the grass is not favorable:\nSo it rained a couple of minutes ago and the grass is still quite wet. Wet grasses are slippery and if one is not careful, one could fall and hurt themselves. It is not the right place for a pregnant to stand.\nWhen It is in the last trimester:\nWhen the pregnancy is almost at its end, you need all the rest you can get. If your fitness level and your doctor say you can carry out a couple of activities, then it’s fine. But stay away from aggressive or excessive physical activities.\nAlso Read: Are Lawn Mowers Cheaper in the Winter?\nCan Mowing The Lawn Cause A Miscarriage?\nMowing the lawn provides no barman for a pregnant woman who does it carefully and has taken precautions in making the lawn safe. However, it will be if this carefulness and precaution are ignored. You stand the chance of getting a miscarriage if you do not pay attention to your body and the environment.\nTrying to push a lawnmower uphill, up or down the sloppy side of the yard, on uneven terrains, and allowing yourself to overheat puts a pregnant woman at risk of miscarriage.\nStaying hydrated, protected under warm sheds, and staying easy from the hot and sunny weather keeps you away from any form of trauma and hence safe.\nIf you must mow the lawn then you should stay away from uphills, and wet grasses and have someone remove stones or objects that could cause you to trip while mowing.\nBeing pregnant does not stop you from wearing the right protective gear while mowing the lawn. In fact, it is more reason why you should. It will protect you from bug bites, the sun, and the impacts of the lawnmower.\nAlso Read: How to Clean Lawn Mower Air Filter?\nCan You Mow The Lawn 5 Weeks Pregnant?\nA five-week-old pregnancy is still in its first trimester and so still okay for mowing a lawn. This is because generally, mowing the lawn is a good kind of exercise for pregnant women.\nIt will help maintain fitness while pregnant while providing tons of health benefits. As long as you do not overdo the mowing and stay hydrated while paying attention to your body, you will be fine.\nA gym junkie is more agile and fit than an average woman. If you were like that before pregnancy, then you are very well fit to mow the lawn 5 weeks pregnant and even as far deep into your months of pregnancy.\nJust as long as you stick to the routines you practiced before getting pregnant. However, questions concerning the type of activity you can engage in should be taken to your doctor.\nAt this stage of your life, they may understand your body as well as you do. That way, you are sure of whatever you can and cannot do. Also in this trimester, you should avoid any form of chemical or fumes that is emitted from lawnmowers or any machine.\nCan I Use A Push Mower While Pregnant?\nA push mower requires more effort when mowing the lawn but can easily be controlled, nonetheless, it is safe. If the push mower is the type you have always used before the pregnancy, then you can still use it while pregnant. But if it isn’t, stick to the riding mower.\nNow, if we were to compare the push mower to the riding mower, the riding provides more safety for a pregnant woman than a push lawnmower.\nA push lawn mower produces more noise and the fumes it emits are most likely to be inhaled easily than a riding lawnmower.\nThis is because the user stands behind a push lawnmower while for a riding lawnmower, the user stays inside and hence away from the fumes. The riding lawn mower provides comfort and requires little effort than the push lawnmower.\nDespite all that has been said, the push lawn remains safe for a pregnant woman to use. It is also not as safe as a riding mower.\nIs Gardening Safe During Pregnancy?\nHonestly, gardening can expose you to infections caused by Toxoplasmosis and for a pregnant woman, the risk is higher. It is a disease gotten from gardening. But this can be avoided by wearing gloves and avoiding direct contact with the soil.\nHowever, gardening is one of the activities recommended for pregnant women. If it is a hobby you enjoyed before pregnancy and still enjoy during the pregnancy, then you ahold not stop. It helps with mood swings and helps the mind to stay relaxed while being exposed to fresh air.\nPeople think mowing the lawn is not a safe activity but little do they know that it serves no harm to both the pregnant and the non-pregnant. It is your body and no one should care for it more than you.\nSo if you must listen to your body while you enjoy your hobby. This way your safety and that of the baby are monitored. Let me borrow the words of a researcher who said ” Common sense is key to this situation”.", "domain": "health"}

He has recently welcomed his baby boy into the world after a very unique and incredible journey.\nFor Alana and Luke Palaziol, the arrival of their baby boy Hudson was more special than they could ever describe. When 34-year-old Alana was Diagnosed with cervical cancer five years ago, she thought her future of having a family was dashed.\nThe Stage 1 cancer she developed is traditionally treated with a radical hysterectomy and removal of all the pelvic lymph nodes. However, gynaecological oncologist Dr Jim Nicklin came to the rescue – performing a new surgery which removes the cervix, but potentially saves the fertility of the patient, called a radical trachelectomy. The surgery allows women to become pregnant after cervical cancer treatment – which hasn’t always been the case,” Dr Nicklin said.\nFor the couple, pregnancy was an exciting journey that brought new anxieties to surface. “We were always told we could potentially get pregnant, but the unknown was how long I could hold the pregnancy for,” Alana said. “We’d be so excited to get to each milestone – 12 weeks, 20 weeks, and 28 weeks.”\nObstetrician Dr Stephen Cook said Alana was the first patient he had treated who had a pregnancy after a radical trachelectomy. “She did remarkably well,” Dr Cook said. “Her pregnancy was straightforward – in fact the only reason she needed to deliver Hudson at 34 weeks was because she had pre-eclampsia.”\nLittle Hudson Bailey arrived a couple of weeks earlier than expected, in August 2016. He was in a special care nursery for four weeks, and the Palaziol family are now back at home with their little bundle of joy. “We really want to let people know that this procedure is possible for young women who have cervical cancer,” Alana said. “It may not be suitable for some patients, depending on their situation, but the surgery that I had saved us and allowed us to have a family.”\nThis article was originally published in the Wesley Hospital’s magazine the Wesleylink (www.wesley.com.au)", "domain": "health"}

Chavey, MD, MS\nIntensive blood-pressure reduction lowers cardiovascular events and mortality in nondiabetic older adults, according to a prespecified subanalysis from SPRINT. The findings were published in JAMA and presented at the American Geriatrics Society's annual meeting.\nIn SPRINT, roughly 2600 adults aged 75 and older with increased CV risk but without diabetes or histories of stroke were randomized to intensive BP control (systolic target, <120 mm Hg) or standard treatment (target, <140 mm Hg). After a median 3 years' follow-up, incidence of the primary CV outcome — a composite of myocardial infarction, non-MI acute coronary syndrome, stroke, heart failure, or CV death — was 34% lower in the intensive group (102 vs. 148 events). All-cause mortality was similarly reduced with intensive treatment.\nSerious adverse events did not differ between the groups. Intensive treatment was associated with more hypotension (2.4% vs. 1.4%), syncope, electrolyte abnormalities, and acute renal injury or failure (5.5% vs. 4.0%), but none of these differences were statistically significant.\nDr. Harlan Krumholz of NEJM Journal Watch Cardiology weighed in: \"This remarkable subgroup analysis indicates a benefit in bringing an elderly group with an average systolic BP around 140 down to the 120s, albeit with the possibility of some risks. This strategy would represent a big shift in the approach to screening and treatment, and in my view, the findings need replication before intensive treatment can be pushed as standard of care.\"\nLINK(S):JAMA article (Free)\nJAMA editorial (Subscription required)\nBackground: NEJM Journal Watch General Medicine coverage of initial SPRINT results (Free)\n- See more at: http://www.jwatch.org/fw111589/2016/05/20/trial-supports-intensive-bp-lowering-nondiabetic-elders?query=pfw&jwd=000101619217&jspc=GP#sthash.O3aooe0q.dpuf", "domain": "health"}

It is believed that its use before intimacy stimulates the work of the sexual arousal centers, increasing sexual desire. In addition, ginger is widely used in folk medicine as a remedy for the prevention and treatment of erectile dysfunction.\nWhat is ginger and how does it affect the male body?\nChemical Composition and Benefits\nGinger is a perennial herbaceous plant. The homeland of wild ginger is South Asia. Currently, many countries are engaged in the cultivation of a medicinal plant grown on an industrial scale: Argentina, China, Japan, Brazil.\nThe healing properties of ginger root are due to a set of vitamins, microelements, saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, essential and non-essential amino acids and essential oils.\nWhat is ginger used for and why is it recommended for men with sexual dysfunction? The beneficial properties of ginger on the body of a man are provided by the biologically active substances and trace elements included in the composition:\n|name||Effect on the male body|\n|Amino acids||They support immunity, promote metabolism, normalize hormonal levels and help restore spent energy.|\n|Fatty acid||They contribute to the renewal of the body at the cellular level, saturate the cells with all the necessary useful substances.|\n|Vitamins A, B, C||They have a positive effect on the condition of blood vessels, stimulate the production of testosterone and strengthen the nervous system.|\n|Zinc||Increases the effectiveness of vitamins, stimulates the work of the organs of the male reproductive system.|\n|Potassium||Promotes tissue oxygen saturation, stabilizes blood pressure, maintains muscle tissue tone.|\n|Magnesium||Necessary for the normal functioning of the nervous system and the rapid transmission of impulses at the time of excitement, it has a positive effect on the functioning of the cardiovascular system.|\n|Phytosterols||They reduce the level of bad cholesterol, prevent the narrowing of the lumen of blood vessels and the loss of elasticity of the vascular walls, thus preventing sexual impotence.|\nHow does ginger affect potency?\nAccording to studies, with the regular use of the root of the plant in the male body, the following changes occur:\n- increases the level of androgens;\n- erection improves;\n- the amount of ejaculate increases;\n- the percentage of viable sperm in the seminal fluid increases and their mobility increases.\nThe healing properties of ginger root prevent the development of various infectious inflammatory diseases, including prostatitis, which is considered one of the main factors provoking impotence.\nRecently, a common cause of decreased potency is excess weight, since fat cells contribute to the production of female sex hormones. Ginger root extract contributes to the normalization of body weight: accelerates the onset of satiety, stimulates metabolic processes, improves intestinal motility.\nHow to take ginger to increase potency\nYou can use ginger root to restore sexual function in many ways: as a seasoning for various dishes, in the form of infusions, teas and vitamin cocktails.\nThe optimal daily intake of ginger is 10-15 grams of fresh root or 3-4 grams of dry powder. An increase in the amount of root consumed will not only speed up the process of improving potency, but can also cause some side effects: headaches, rashes, insomnia, nausea and other disorders of the digestive tract.\nTo use it, you must choose one of the recipes and take it for the recommended period. Ginger, like any natural folk remedy, does not have an instant effect, so it will take some time to get the effect.\nBefore using ginger to increase potency, it is necessary to take into account not only its beneficial properties, but also possible contraindications. Means with the addition of the root are not suitable for men with certain diseases of the digestive tract in the acute stage (ulcer, colitis, gastritis), urolithiasis and severe pathologies of the heart and blood vessels.\nRemember that ginger enhances the effect of certain drugs (barbiturates, anticoagulants, hypoglycemics). You should not use a medicinal plant together with tablets for lowering blood pressure, since the action of biologically active substances in ginger can cause hypotension and heart rhythm disturbances.\nThe best recipes with ginger to increase potency\nFor the preparation of funds, you can use fresh, pickled or dried roots. Since the highest concentration of nutrients is found in the pulp under the skin, peeling the roots used for medicinal purposes is not recommended. Just rinse them thoroughly with cold water.\nTo prevent erectile dysfunction, you can use a small amount of ginger daily as a seasoning for salads, fish and meat dishes.\nA good aphrodisiac is ginger with lemon and honey. The recipe for maintaining men's health is as follows: 20-30 minutes before sexual intercourse for men, it is recommended to take a tablespoon of a mixture of ginger root, honey and lemon. All ingredients are taken in equal proportions and ground with a blender.\nWith a decrease in sexual desire and deterioration of erection, ginger tinctures, decoctions and vitamin teas can be used. How to cook ginger for potency? Here are simple recipes for remedies to prevent erection problems.\nBenefits of Pickled Ginger for Men\nOne of the most popular spices in Asian countries is pickled ginger root. Prepare it as follows:\n- Ginger is washed, cut into slices, sprinkled with a little salt, put in a bowl with a lid and left for an hour.\n- To prepare the marinade, pour a glass of sugar into the pan, pour it with a glass of vinegar and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.\n- Slices are poured with hot marinade, covered with a tight lid and put in a cool place for 48 hours.\nDuring infusion, the pulp acquires a pinkish hue. To obtain a more saturated color of the product, a small amount of grated beets can be added to the container.\nThe ready root is used as a side dish or as an additive to other dishes. In addition to a pleasant specific taste, pickled ginger is known for its medicinal properties: it improves digestion, tones the walls of blood vessels, activates blood circulation and prevents the spread of inflammatory processes. Pickled ginger is especially useful for chronic prostatitis.\nGinger tea and drink recipes\nThe easiest way to prepare a healthy drink is as follows: ordinary black or green tea is brewed, slices of the root or a small amount of juice extracted from it are added to it before drinking.\nGinger tea is prepared as follows: you need to cut a slice 3 cm thick from the root, grind it on a fine grater, pour 250 ml of boiling water and insist. You can mix ginger tea with honey and rosemary, echinacea, mint, cinnamon.\nGinger lemonade is perfect for the warm season. To prepare it, you will need honey (one tablespoon), lemon (the juice should be squeezed into a separate container) and finely chopped ginger (one tablespoon). A liter of water is brought to a boil, the root is placed in it and kept on low heat for 10 minutes. Lemon juice and honey are added to the liquid cooled to room temperature, thoroughly stirred and cooled.\nLovers of original tastes can be told about the following recipe for an erection:\n- half a teaspoon of cinnamon and nutmeg, 3 cloves, the zest of one lemon and a slice of ginger root (2-3 cm thick) are placed in a container;\n- before preparing a drink, the root is carefully crushed;\n- the ingredients are poured with cold water, brought to a boil and kept on the fire for another 2-3 minutes;\n- the finished drink is insisted and taken in half a glass once a day.\nTo increase immunity and improve erection, men can recommend herbal tea with ginger and lemon jam. To prepare it, you will need to pass a medium-sized ginger root and three lemons with zest through a meat grinder. A glass of honey is added to the resulting mass and mixed well. It is recommended to store ready jam in the refrigerator in a closed container with a lid.\nTincture of ginger on vodka to increase potency\nAn alcoholic tincture of ginger is suitable as a medicine. For its preparation, you can use vodka or pre-diluted alcohol.\n- Recipe 1. Ginger (400 gr) is washed, cut into small slices and placed in a glass or ceramic dish. Pour 0. 5 liters of vodka into the container, close the lid tightly and put it in a dark, cool place. Infusion time - 3 weeks. Strained ginger tincture is taken three times a day before meals, one teaspoon.\n- Recipe 2. 350 g of root should be pulped, add the juice of two lemons, half a teaspoon of cinnamon and 100 g of sugar. The mixture should be stirred until the sugar is completely dissolved, then pour 1 liter of vodka and insist for a day. Ginger prepared in this way for potency is taken twice a day in a tablespoon 10-15 minutes before meals.\nProducts for external use\nA more stable and long-lasting erection can be achieved with an ointment made from the pre-dried root. For its preparation, ground ginger and liquid honey are mixed in equal quantities. The finished product is applied to the penis 15-20 minutes before the planned intimacy. Immediately before coitus, the ointment should be washed off.\nGinger broth baths have a general strengthening and toning effect on the whole body. To prepare a decoction, pour 1 liter of water into a container, bring to a boil and add 3 tablespoons of ginger powder. The liquid is kept on low heat for several minutes and poured into a bath filled with warm water. The optimal duration of the procedure is 15-20 minutes. Ginger baths are also useful for those struggling with excess weight.\nIn case of chronic inflammation of the prostate, microclysters containing ginger oil are included in the treatment. 30 ml of oil is heated to 35-38 degrees and injected into the rectum for 10-15 minutes. The active substances contained in the oil extract have a healing, anti-inflammatory, analgesic effect.\nThe benefits of ginger for men have been confirmed by research and reviews, but you can only count on a positive effect if you follow the recommended dosage and duration of treatment. Before using ginger root products, you should consult a specialist. The doctor will exclude the presence of possible contraindications and, if necessary, select additional drugs for the treatment of sexual impotence.", "domain": "health"}

It is a human killer disease which has caused vast loss to human life, infecting millions and causing thousands of deaths. This virus is spreading very quickly and is causing great danger to life as well as the world’s economy. Health specialists are struggling hard to control its spread and to cure the infected peoples. Besides the health department, engineering and architectural departments are also showing keen involvement in the fight against Coronavirus. In this regard, Interior Designers are trying their best to control the speed of the virus by implementing changes in their designs to ensure the health and safety of the people. In this article, we will discuss how Interior Designers are responding to COVID-19 Outbreak and the Interior Design materials used in Coronavirus conditions.\nInterior Designers have shifted to using plastics and easily washable or disposable materials in their designs to help avoid disease transmission. Their primary focus is on designing homes that are easier to clean and disinfect. For this purpose, they have switched to using copper, brass, and woods in place of iron, and woolen materials such as carpets in the homes. The vision behind making changes in the materials used in Interior Designing is to make our homes safer and protective in situations such as the COVID-19 Outbreak.\nInterior Designers have found that some materials are more effective against viruses such as Coronavirus than the others. The recent research report by Institutes of Health, UCLA, CDC, and Princeton University scientists shows the behavior of Coronavirus, officially called SARS-CoV-2 and explains how long it remains active on various materials. It proves that the virus remains viable in atomizers for at least three hours or the time consumed during the experiment. The Coronavirus is more active on smooth surfaces such as plastics for up to 72 hours and stainless steel for up to 48 hours. It is found that the virus suffers for a comparatively shorter period of time on surfaces such as paper, cardboard, or clothing, i.e.; for up to 24 hours. The strongest material against Coronavirus is proved to be the copper with only four hours survival of the virus on its surface.\nFollowing the research report, the Interior Designers have started using the following materials to design safe and healthy homes for controlling the spread and transmission of the virus among the people through surface contact. These materials are:\nInterior Designers have borough copper back in their designs because of their antimicrobial properties. It is observed that bacteria such as E.coli and viruses such as influenza or even the novel Coronavirus can survive for up to four to five days on various hand surfaces, but surprisingly, when they land on surfaces made up of copper or its alloys such as brass, they become weak or usually die within a couple of minutes. Hence, Copper is considered to be the strongest antimicrobial material that can degrade viruses and bacteria more quickly than any other material.\nDoor hardware, locksets, and even push plates on doors should be made up of brass, especially in buildings and public places. In 2015, the experts researching on Defense Department compared the infection rates at three hospitals and reported that the infection rates were reduced by 58% when the copper alloys utilized in the hospitals. Similar research was made in the year 2016 inside the pediatric care unit, which also graphed an extensive decrease in the infection rate.\nBrass and Copper\nFloors should be comfortably washable and should not provide bugs or insects a place to hide. These insects can carry diseases and can contaminate your house. Therefore, putting carpets on floors or even a single rug in the living rooms should be avoided to protect your home and ensure your health and safety in the days of Outbreaks such as the coronavirus pandemic. Hence, Vinyl flooring is making a rebound and is now re-branded as Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT). Interior Designers and even the greatest flooring companies are now preferring Vinyl flooring instead of carpeting.\nIn addition to vinyl, linoleum, which is entirely made from natural materials and has a natural microbe-killing characteristic and is most probable to kill microbes such as SARS and other Coronavirus. The use of Marmoleum (the most antimicrobial and well-known brand of linoleum) for house flooring ensures 100% microbe killing, therefore, reduces the risk of virus spread.\nConcrete and Terrazzo Flooring\nConcrete and terrazzo flooring had been most popular before, but was somehow, vanished from modern Interior Design trends. Carpeting was becoming one of the leading floor design styles these days, but Interior Designers have now come to realize that carpet flooring can cause the spread of viruses in situations such as Coronavirus. Therefore, concrete flooring with epoxy paints on it or terrazzo flooring is now preferred by most of the Interior Designers as it is easy to clean and could reduce the threat of virus spread.\nDrywall is an absurd material. The paper facing is only the food for molds and deteriorates when exposed to water. Hence could be a perfect place for microbes and is unhygienic for health. In place of paper facing, fiber facing can be used which is more reliable, dampness and mold-free. It can take the maltreatment if you need to wash it down to clean and disinfect it.\nPlastered walls are now introduced in the home design trends as it is comparatively easier to clean and disinfect them. Clay-based plaster is now considered to be the best wall designing material as it is more reliable and durable. Plastered walls are more likely to improve sound timber and prevent infection. It has a fascinating smooth look which makes it more appealing and does not spoil the charm of the design.\nBy summing up this article, I have discussed how Interior Designers are responding to the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Outbreak to ensure healthy living and microbes free surrounding for the people. The researchers and scientists have revealed and suggested many antimicrobial materials that should be included in the modern Interior Design trends to ensure safe and disinfected homes. The above mentioned are a few disinfectant materials against viruses. The scientists are still in search of other, more strong antimicrobial materials for use in Interior Designing to reduce the risk of virus transmission. The basic concept behind the use of these materials is that everything in the surrounding should be washable and easy to clean and sanitize in order to control the spread of the Coronavirus.", "domain": "health"}

I have a sweet tooth. I have had a sweet tooth from as long as I can remember (and that would be creeping into the larder under the stairs when I was about 6 to glug mouthfuls of Calpol back when it routinely contained sugar and was the sweetest nectar sent from the gods) and I have reconciled myself with the fact that I am now addicted to the stuff.\nWhen I was a child, my parents only allowed my siblings and I to have sweets on a Sunday, after church, ensuring that we would always attend church because if we were not well enough for church then we were not well enough for sweets. My mother is a very smart lady. Mum would buy a big bag of sweets (the chewy sticks were a particular fave), we would share them out into 4 equal piles, then devour them in approx. 9.74 seconds, leaving us craving sweets for the next 6 days, hence the Calpol addiction.\nNow, it seems the practices that we were subjected to by my parents are no longer à la mode when it comes to their grandchildren. My dad, in particular, would happily allow them to have sweets for breakfast, lunch and dinner if they so wished, because he refuses to “deprive them”… *insert straight line mouth emoji*.\nAnyway, a little while ago, I was contacted by Change4Life about being involved in their campaign to spread awareness around sugar intake, specifically among the Black community. I was asked to contribute to a little something that was shared across Black press and, as a result, I actually started using the Food Scanner app. Like, I truly, actually, genuinely used it. And, guess what? I love it! And my kids love it! And The Photographer loves it!\nNow, I’m not saying that since downloading the app and having a look at the Change4Life website we have given up sugar, because, quite simply, we haven’t. What we have done is become more conscious about our shopping and consumption choices. I have initiated more chats with my children about the potential harm that too much sugar can do. As a family, we are trying to be realistic about the changes we can make, while being sure not to turn food into a major issue. We haven’t outlawed sugar, but we have tried to limit it as much as possible. So, the Photographer and I have had awkward conversations with the wider family, using the food scanner app as supporting evidence, imploring them not to demonstrate their love for their nieces/granddaughters/cousins by bringing them gifts of Haribo and Maoam! *rolls eyes* It’s not easy, but it is necessary, and I know that the kids will eventually thank us for it.\nSo, the press release is below. Have a read or just download the app and have a play. I promise you, you will learn something new. What you choose to do with the information is up to you…\nThe recent Change4Life campaign highlighted that children in England are consuming too much sugar – an extra 2,800 sugar cubes per year. That’s equivalent to 312 cans of sugary cola, 469 higher-sugar yoghurts or 562 chocolate bars!\nToo much sugar is bad for children’s health. It can lead to the build-up of harmful fat on the inside that we can’t see. This fat can cause weight gain and serious diseases like type 2 diabetes – which people are getting younger than ever before – heart disease and some cancers. Too much sugar can also cause painful tooth decay; shockingly every 10 minutes, a child in England has a rotten tooth removed in hospital.\nWe talked to parenting and lifestyle blogger ‘Hey… Is that me?*’, Cee Olaleye, who has two daughters aged 7 and 10. Cee tells us how she has become more aware of her children’s sugar intake and the action she has taken action to reduce it by making simple everyday swaps to healthier, lower-sugar versions of the foods and drinks they enjoy. Cee also tells us about the challenges she faces when making these changes, especially when it comes to cultural foods and family members such as grandparents.\nReducing sugar intake\nCee Olaleye said “Like most mums, the health of my children is very important to me, so I try to make sure that they don’t have too much sugar.\n“I’m careful with breakfast cereals, as I know some of them contain a lot of sugar. For example, a bowl of higher-sugar cereal can have around 3 cubes of sugar per serving, so in the morning we go for things like porridge, scrambled eggs and other lower sugar options.”\n“When it comes to drinks, my kids mainly have water. Occasionally, I give them juice drinks, but I know they can be high in sugar so we limit their consumption very strictly.\nI also encourage my girls to eat plenty of fruit and veg. Sometimes I add them into food, like pasta sauces, and the kids don’t even know they’re there!”\nCee recently downloaded the Change4Life food scanner app, so she could see how much sugar is in everyday foods and drinks. Cee shares “My girls love using the Change4Life food scanner app and seeing the ‘traffic light’ labels on products brought to life. It’s a fab app that is enjoyable and informative for both children and adults alike.\n“I was very surprised about the amount of sugar in foods and drinks that are marketed as (and that I thought were) healthy. The app has made reducing my kids’ sugar intake much easier – the girls have made up their own minds after seeing the sugar content of certain foods and drinks, and now they don’t want to eat some of the items that they know are high in sugar!”\nDealing with sugar in cultural foods\nCee said “Food is such a huge part of our culture and it’s an important way that we connect with our African heritage. My girls love eating African snacks such as Chin Chin and Pof Pof, which can contain a lot of sugar, but they now only have them occasionally. Grandma also likes to make these from scratch, meaning that we can reduce the sugar content compared to shop bought ones, which really helps.”\nThe influence of family members\nGrandparents can play a significant role in their grandchildren’s diet.\nCee said “Grandparents and aunties often give my kids sugary snacks whenever they see them, which can be tough to manage. I think that if we show grandparents how much sugar is in everyday foods and drinks they could help us make swaps to healthier, lower sugar options.”\nCee concludes “We owe it to our children to teach them how to live a healthy lifestyle and avoid serious diseases like type 2 diabetes and heart disease, which are common within the black community.”\nChange4Life is here to help you and your family cut back on sugar. You can find out all about it here.\nThen, you should totally download the free Change4Life Food Scanner app to see the sugar content of everyday popular items or search Change4Life for healthier swap ideas.\nThis is a collaborative post, produced in association with Change4Life.", "domain": "health"}

As a rule, such a trip does not tolerate long delays, and therefore it is so important to get dental care, as they say, in the right place and at the right time. Residents of Grodno region have the opportunity to receive it both in state organizations and in private departments and offices. The advantage of state dentistry is that, providing all types of dental care, it is ready to help a person for free or at an affordable price.\nIn the region, patients are treated by large dental clinics in Grodno with two branches, as well as in Lida and Volkovysk. In other regional centers there are dental departments in polyclinics. There are dental offices in regional and district hospitals. The offices of a number of enterprises, such as JSC \"Grodno Azot\", \"Grodnozhilstroy\", \"Lakokraska\" in Lida and others, have survived and are still operating. In the most difficult cases we are ready to help in the Grodno University Clinic, where there is a department of maxillofacial surgery. Dentists of the main clinic of the region are on duty for emergency care and are ready to receive patients from all districts. In addition, in Grodno, surgery and therapy with the prefix \"emergency\" at the reception until 23.00 in one of the duty dental clinics according to the schedule. In the districts, you can call the dentist on duty at home.\nDentistry of non-state form of ownership includes 102 departments and offices, which also work throughout the region. The number of visits to private practitioners accounted for 12 percent of all visits to public dentists.\nIN THE RED ZONE\nTrue, due to fears of the coronavirus, many patients delayed to the last. Hence the growth of primary therapeutic approaches, and the number of visits by one patient per one filling - that is, to completely eliminate the problem. The help \"with home delivery\", which used to be in practice for the disabled and bedridden patients, was used much more often.\nAccording to Oksana Korzun, almost twelve thousand operations were performed over the past year by dental surgeons. Surgical dental care is differentiated in all districts of the region. In Grodno, Volkovysk, Smorgon and Astravets, dental implantation operations are carried out, which are also more and more every year.\nOrthodontic care is close to the patient, which is provided in Grodno, Lida, Volkovysk, Smorgon, Ostrovets, Slonim. Each orthodontist has produced on average about three thousand devices per year. And from one orthopedist, an average of more than 250 people received prostheses. At the same time, in the total volume of prosthetics, the number of modern prostheses has increased: clasp and solid.\nIN STEP WITH THE TIMES\nThe provision of dental services is constantly being improved. Modern materials and equipment are purchased and used, advanced technologies are being introduced. And this was highly appreciated not only by residents of the region, but also by other countries. Exports of dental services before the border closure due to coronavirus grew from year to year, and the year before last, services were provided in the amount of $ 34.9. Mostly foreigners are interested in implantation followed by prosthetics. Diagnostic procedures, treatment of periodontal diseases, whitening are popular.\n- Recently we have introduced many innovations. We treat teeth under a microscope, we successfully use the compositing technique, which can be used to eliminate any tooth defect, and modern bleaching technology, which will allow you to have a snow-white smile, Oksana Korzun lists innovations in therapeutic dentistry.\nInterested in: what is a composer? It turns out to be a small onlay made of an original composite - an ultramodern nano-material imitating tooth enamel, homogeneous, beautiful and durable. A new kind of aesthetic reconstruction system is being applied to the anterior teeth. BEYOND Polus whitening is very effective. True, the chief dentist of the regional center has some advice: to carry out the procedure only after consulting a dentist. Otherwise, it may happen that bleaching errors have to be corrected by an orthopedic dentist.\nIt is hardly worth telling in detail about implantation today - people know and actively use modern technology. In addition, Grodno specialists have mastered bone grafting and are successfully performing bone augmentation operations. Moreover, a procedure of two types is possible, both horizontal and vertical.\nIn prosthetics, not only the well-known cermets are now in use, but also metal-free constructions. The polymer composite is intended for long-term BioHPP dental prosthetics. Thanks to the new equipment, the manufacture of dentures by injection molding has also been improved.\nAnd a hint for doctors is given by a modern cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in Grodno, which now works in two shifts, and modern digital X-ray machines, which have almost completely replaced the previous technology in the region.\nWith cartoons and under anesthesia\nA huge layer of dentists' work is prevention. This is especially true in childhood, when the foundation of dental care for life is laid. At the same time, care for children is also organized at the level taking into account modern trends in dentistry. In the regional center, the younger generation is served by a specialized polyclinic - a branch of the Central City Hospital. Children from all over the region are also sent here for consultation. In the districts, dentists are trained to guide appointments for both adults and children. In a number of schools, there are dental health centers, where there are also modern installations and filling materials.\nFor the most fearful in the clinic there are specially equipped rooms for a paid admission, where you can even watch cartoons on TV so that the children are distracted and not afraid of treatment. And if this does not work, then there is the possibility of treatment under anesthesia. True, for this you will have to go to the regional children's hospital.\nThe latest novelty in pediatric dentistry is braces. Moreover, you can use it without waiting for the replacement of teeth. For example, if a new tooth is cramped in the dentition. A number of tasks can be solved with the help of a partial bracket system: to expand the dentition, remove the tooth from the reverse overlap and even perfectly align the teeth.\nWITH NEW BUILDING AND \"DIGIT\"\nIn the concept of development of the state dental service of the Grodno region for the near future, the main directions of its improvement are determined. First of all, equipping with modern equipment. At the same time, the emphasis is on the use of digital technologies. The regional executive committee allocated funds and in the near future a digital 3D-visualization complex will appear in the arsenal of dentists. This will be a completely new technology for treatment and prosthetics \"one visit\". After obtaining a digital impression (no impression materials are needed!), Modeling of the future structure in 3D will follow, then its production - milling and finally final processing and fixation. Fast, economical, and most importantly - ultra-precise!\nAccording to the same concept, it is planned to create a regional dental center in Grodno, similar to those working in cardiology, perinatal care and other departments of medicine. It includes the most modern equipment in the therapeutic, surgical, orthopedic, orthodontic departments, modern high-level diagnostics and a dental laboratory. Adults and young patients from all over the region will be assisted in difficult cases, they will introduce treatment under anesthesia and all kinds of digital technologies of today and tomorrow. In addition, dentists from all over the region will be able to learn new technologies here.\nAt the end of last year the development of a medical assignment for the creation of the center began. The issue of using the building on Titov Street, which was previously occupied by the bank, was considered. However, this option was ultimately considered inappropriate. Health care facilities must comply with certain standards, sanitary and epidemiological and design requirements. Large-scale redevelopment of a used building will cost more than new construction. Now the city executive committee is working on the issue of allocating a site for the construction of a new building of the dental center, which will take into account not only all the design nuances and requirements, but also the prospects for the development of the dental service.\nLyudmila KEDA, head of the main health department of the regional executive committee:\n- The dental center will not be built because the inhabitants of the region are somehow limited in the treatment or prosthetics of teeth. The availability of all types of dental care in the Grodno region is ensured. We are talking about its further improvement, the introduction of new modern technologies and equipment, accessibility for people and at the same time the rational use of resources. This is done primarily in the interests of the region's residents. The center will provide highly qualified, high-quality assistance to residents of the Grodno region in the most difficult cases, receiving a set of necessary services within the walls of one institution. At the same time, dentistry will receive additional opportunities for the development of the export of services that are in demand among residents of foreign countries.\nMaria BOROVIK, head of the branch \"Children's Dental Clinic of Grodno\":\n\"The task of children's dentists is not only to treat, but to teach children how to properly care for their teeth.\"\nThere are more than eighty thousand children from the regional center and the Grodno region in the service area of the polyclinic. Young patients from all over the region seek treatment advice. But the task of children's dentists is not only to treat, but above all to teach children to constantly and properly care for their teeth. We also work with parents: to instill in children the rules of hygiene, so that they notice and turn to doctors in time for malocclusion and other dentoalveolar anomalies. In the treatment, orthodontic plates are used, and more recently we have been offering a partial brace system or a 2 * 4 system.\nVictoria KARDIS, dentist-therapist of the branch \"Dental polyclinic No. 1 of Grodno\":\n\"Each case is a kind of competition where you need to show yourself to the maximum.\"\nWe arrived in Grodno by distribution together with my husband. We work in one clinic, only he deals with implants. This is a modern trend that helps many people to repair defects in the dentition, chew effectively, and smile beautifully.\nBy the way, I am not the first of the Grodno dentists to have distinguished themselves at the professional skills competitions held by the Belarusian Dental Association. There were seven contests, and we have 4 victories at the republican stage.\nTO THIS TOPIC\nThe way a child develops in the womb determines his future health, including dental health. And after the birth of a new person, food and lifestyle come to the fore for all years. Dental health is primarily in our hands, and it will not let you down if we constantly keep a toothbrush in them, and be regularly monitored by the dentist.", "domain": "health"}

They will have become extremely popular because they reduce or eliminate a lot of the harmful side effects associated with conventional tobacco, they are extremely convenient to use, yet they eliminate lots of the more hazardous health risks associated with regular tobacco. As electronic cigarettes begin to gain more popularity, more people are asking the question; can vaporizers help me stop smoking? If you are asking this question, you then have come to the proper place.\nOne of the biggest advantages of vaporizers is they provide their users with a great deal of convenience. Most vaporizers provide their users with an electrical source that can be plugged into any wall socket. This helps it be incredibly easy for anyone to carry around their vaporizer with them.

Most brands you’ll find on supermarket shelves contain the equivalent of 3 teaspoons of sugar per serving, which is a lot. Even a lot of seemingly ‘healthy’ granola recipes contain lots of sugar in the form of dried fruit, honey or sugar substitutes. The protein, fibre and essential fats in this granola will stave off sugar cravings and supercharge your energy levels at any time of the day. It works really well paired with natural yoghurt and fresh berries for breakfast or as a comforting snack to help ward off an afternoon slump.\nMakes approx. 12 servings\n– ¼ cup coconut oil\n– 1 cup oats\n– 1 cup sunflower seeds\n– 1 cup pumpkin seeds\n– 1 cup chopped almonds (you can chop them in a food processor or use a knife)\n– ½ cup ground flaxseed\n– 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon\n– 1 teaspoon almond extract or vanilla extract (I use both)\n– pinch of sea salt\n1. Preheat the oven to 190°C. Line two baking trays with baking paper or grease lightly with coconut oil.\n2. Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan and set aside.\n3. Place all of the remaining ingredients in a large bowl and mix together. Make a well in the middle and add the melted coconut oil. Mix thoroughly until everything is lightly coated with the oil.\n4. Divide the granola evenly between the two trays and spread out in a thin layer. Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, until lightly toasted and golden. Stir halfway through to avoid burning.\n5. Allow to cool, then store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.\n6. Serve with milk or natural yoghurt. It’s also delicious served with fresh berries, grated apple or sliced pear.\nTip: Take care not to overcook as these ingredients burn easily and will taste bitter if cooked too long. I find that the baking tray that’s placed on the lower shelf of the oven cooks a little quicker than the one on the upper shelf, so I take it out a couple of minutes earlier. You might need to do the same.\nElsa Jones is a nutritional therapist specialising in weight management. Most of her clients say they feel addicted to sugar, powerless over their cravings for it, viewing sugar addiction as their biggest obstacle to losing weight and keeping it off. But it’s not just our waistlines that are affected. The not-so-sweet health effects to consuming too much sugar include dull skin and accelerated aging, a heightened risk of developing diabetes and heart disease, inflammation in the body, suppressed immunity as well as decreased energy and vitality.\nIn her new book, Goodbye Sugar: Hello Weight Loss, Great Skin, More Energy and Improved Mood, she combines a sugar-free nutritional plan and the psychological tools to beat sugar addiction – the missing ingredient lacking in other diet plans. The book contains CBT exercises and techniques, which will retrain your brain to break bad habits, beat cravings and maintain motivation, while a 10 day kick-start eating plan and 30 sugar-free recipes will reset your taste buds, balance out your blood sugar and curb your sweet cravings.\nGoodbye Sugar is published by Gill & Macmillan, priced at €16.99, and available in bookshops nationwide and on amazon.", "domain": "health"}

This outdoor activity involves traveling to national parks and other rural destinations to enjoy the changing foliage. While leaf peeping offers a visual vibrancy of color, it can also benefit your mind and body. Instead of simply driving along country roads to enjoy the foliage, park your car, get outside, and partake in all this splendid activity has to offer.\nRegular exercise is an essential part of a healthy life. It helps reduce your chances of developing certain health conditions, such as high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes, improves sleep, and aids in maintaining a healthy weight. A leaf-peeping adventure is a perfect time to get in some outdoor exercise. Whether you are walking, jogging, kayaking, or cycling while enjoying the kaleidoscope of fall colors, you are participating in green exercise, which is any physical activity that takes place in a natural outdoor environment. Participating in green exercise helps increase your exposure to sunlight and, in return, enhances your vitamin D production, which can help promote healthy bones and teeth, strengthen your immune system, and support lung function and cardiovascular health. Partaking in outdoor exercise during fall can be a pleasant experience in many areas as the temperatures and humidity begin to drop, allowing you to spend more time outside without being uncomfortable or worrying about the dangers of overheating.\nWhile exercising during your leaf-peeping trek can benefit you physically, this activity can also provide a boost to your mental health. A study conducted by Stanford University found that simply walking in nature can help lower the risk of depression, decrease anxiety levels, and improve cognition. You may also associate the colorful leaves with joyful memories you’ve made during fall throughout the years. From trick-or-treating with childhood friends to drinking warm apple cider with loved ones, the nostalgia that foliage triggers can positively impact your mood.\nSo take time this fall to experience leaf peeping for yourself—you very well may become a be-leafer in this activity’s benefits.\nWant more Travel Tips and Insight?", "domain": "health"}

Many people ignore the first discomforts that lead to the progression of the problem and, in some cases, completely weaken the joints. However, it is in these early stages that it is most important to start treating pain, and this is when Osteoren is most effective.\nThe Osteoren cream not only relieves pain, but also strengthens the joints, delaying the degeneration of cartilage that causes pain. This product has been rated very positively by doctors and patients in several clinical trials, and can be used for the treatment of acute and chronic diseases of the spine, joints and cartilage. Osteoren provides immediate pain relief, has no contraindications (it is a hypoallergenic product) and is recommended for all ages in the early stages of joint pain. It is sold at a reasonable price and is very popular in the U. S. market. The product has an international quality certificate.\nToday, it is difficult to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The accelerated pace of life we lead doesn’t usually leave us much time to rest properly, drink 3 litres of water a day, eat healthy foods that contain collagen, play sports regularly and visit countries with warm climates. As a result, joint pain in the arms and legs may appear at an early age.\nDoctors agree that the main causes of joint diseases developing at an early age are:\nAs we age, the presence of important enzymes in our body decreases, leading to discoloration of the skin, loss of elasticity and loss of cartilage strength. Salmon, trout and asparagus are natural sources of these important enzymes, but they are expensive foods to incorporate into your regular diet (and can become boring over time). The 100% natural ingredients of Osteoren rapidly penetrate the upper layers of the epidermis, deeply renewing the cells. Primarily, the cream increases collagen fibers in the skin fibroblasts, which are in turn responsible for the production of enzymes.\nExercise and improved diet can help relieve joint pain, but the results will not be immediate or dramatic. The Osteoren cream not only helps relieve pain immediately, but also significantly reduces the frequency with which pain or discomfort occurs. Osteoren cream is recommended for all those who suffer from mild or acute joint pain, both adults and children, and is commonly used by athletes during their training as a preventive measure. As a preventive measure, the use of this cream is recommended for pregnant and nursing women, who may experience joint pain due to decreased collagen levels and increased body weight. Its compact package (very useful to take away on a trip) and its reasonable price make it an ideal cream for long-term, worry-free use.\nRegular use of this cream minimizes the chance of developing osteoarthritis and arthritis. However, as with many treatments, the cream is most effective when combined with a generally healthy lifestyle.", "domain": "health"}

Here are seven ways artificial turf helps reduce allergen exposure:\n- Artificial grass is hypoallergenic, meaning it doesn’t contain any allergens like pollen or dust mites that commonly cause allergic reactions. This means the air in your yard will be cleaner and you won’t have to worry about triggering allergies when playing outside on the lawn.\n- Synthetic turfs are also less likely to host mold or mildew than natural grass, reducing airborne allergens that can worsen asthma symptoms for those who suffer from this condition.\n- Artificial turf is designed to drain quickly, so there is no standing water or puddles to create a breeding ground for mosquitoes, another common allergen.\n- Artificial turf is easier to keep clean as it doesn’t trap dirt, pollen or other allergens like natural grass does. This means less vacuuming, sweeping and dusting in your home which can help reduce allergy symptoms.\n- Artificial turf requires very little maintenance, meaning fewer trips outside to mow and manage the lawn which can further reduce exposure to outdoor allergens and help with asthma management.\n- Synthetic turf does not require the use of fertilizers or pesticides that may aggravate allergies, making it an ideal choice for those who are sensitive to these chemicals.\n- Artificial turf can also be laid over concrete and other hard surfaces, making it a great option for play areas or decks that are not suitable for natural grass. This eliminates the need to use wood chips or sand which can cause respiratory problems and worsen asthma symptoms.\nCan Turf Cause An Allergic Reaction?\nNo, artificial turf is hypoallergenic and does not contain any allergens that commonly cause allergic reactions.\nWill Artificial Turf Prevent Mold Or Mildew Growth?\nYes, synthetic turfs are less likely to host mold or mildew than natural grass, making it an ideal choice for those who suffer from allergies or asthma.\nWhat Helps Allergic Reactions To Grass?\nUsing artificial turf is a great way to reduce exposure to outdoor allergens and help with managing allergies. Artificial turf requires very little maintenance, so you won’t have to worry about mowing the lawn or using fertilizers or pesticides that may aggravate allergies. Additionally, artificial grass is designed to drain quickly and does not trap dirt, pollen or other allergens like natural grass does. This means less vacuuming, sweeping and dusting in your home which can help reduce allergy symptoms.\nIt is clear that artificial turf has many advantages when it comes to reducing allergen exposure and helping with allergies and asthma symptoms. From its hypoallergenic material and lack of need for fertilizers and pesticides, to its low maintenance requirements, synthetic turf is an excellent option for those who suffer from allergies or asthma.

A pregnant woman has got to do what a pregnant woman has to do!\nJust twelve days before my elective cesarean I was offered a pregnancy pillow. I jumped at the chance because sleeping (and everything else) had become a painful activity. My second pregnancy bump was absolutely enormous. It felt like twice the size of my first pregnancy bump. It also felt hard, my midwife told me I had a lot of fluid in there too. Generally I felt constantly uncomfortable and in pain. I spent much of the afternoon lying down – and even that hurt.\nI had once used a pregnancy pillow in my first pregnancy. It was white, quite thin and not at all firm. It lay between myself and my partner for months, unused – I didn’t really understand what to do with it. So I was hoping this time my pillow would come in handy.\nI was expecting the same – but this pillow was in a different league to the first one. First the size of it was double in width and length. It is huge! It is also a gorgeous shade of pink (these things matter) and the material was a sort of softer than soft velvety one. The pillow is also firm and substantial. I was amazed!\nI quickly wrapped myself around it on the sofa and felt immediate relief.\nMy huge stomach fitted nicely around it and the weight was gone. Later I took it up to the bedroom and lay on it / around it for the entire afternoon. It stayed wrapped around me all night and I can honestly say I didn’t move far from it for the entire twelve days.During the heat wave I spent as many hours as I could wrapped around the pillow with a fan on – it was heavenly.\nI became like a cat – lazy and an all day dozer on my comfy cushion.\nTo my delight I was also sent a nursing pillow in a beautiful beige colour.\nAfter my cesarean this has become my best friend. I sit in bed for hours upon hours breast feeding and this pillow means I can get into a really comfortable position to feed.\nIt has also become my new baby’s favourite pillow to pose on for photos! It’s handy to move around the house no matter where I go and really helps my back out. I can even write this review thanks to it as my baby happily feeds away. Mothers – aren’t we good at multitasking?\nBoth products are gorgeous and I would recommend them both to any pregnant ladies and anyone planning to breastfeed.\nThe pillows are hypoallergenic\nThe nursing pillow offers support when feeding baby.\nThe bestseller is the U-Shaped Pregnancy Pillow.\nThe pregnancy pillow relieves pressure, alleviates aches & pains and helps you to sleep comfortably on your side.\nFor more information or to order go to Pregnancy.net", "domain": "health"}

They have the ability to adversely affect human health in a variety of ways, ranging from relatively mild, allergic reactions to serious medical conditions, even death. These organisms are widespread in the natural environment; they are found in water, soil, plants, and animals. Because many microbes reproduce rapidly and require minimal resources for survival, they are a potential danger in a wide variety of occupational settings.\nFollowing are some of the most virulent and prevalent biological agents:\n- Anthrax. Anthrax is an acute infectious disease caused by a sporeforming bacterium called Bacillus anthracis. It is generally acquired following contact with anthrax-infected animals or anthrax-contaminated animal products.\n- Avian Flu. Avian influenza is a highly contagious disease of birds which is currently epidemic amongst poultry in Asia. Despite the uncertainties, poultry experts agree that immediate culling of infected and exposed birds is the first line of defense for both the protection of human health and the reduction of further losses in the agricultural sector.\n- Bloodborne Pathogens and Needlestick Prevention. OSHAestimates that 5.6 million workers in the health care industry and related occupations are at risk of occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and others.\n- Botulism. Cases of botulism are usually associated with consumption of preserved foods. However, botulinum toxins are currently among the most common compounds explored by terrorists for use as biological weapons.\n- Foodborne Disease. Foodborne illnesses are caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites, toxins, metals, and prions (microscopic protein particles). Symptoms range from mild gastroenteritis to life-threatening neurologic, hepatic, and renal syndromes.\n- Hantavirus. Hantaviruses are transmitted to humans from the dried droppings, urine, or saliva of mice and rats. Animal laboratory workers and persons working in infested buildings are at increased risk to this disease.\n- Legionnaires' Disease. Legionnaires' disease is a bacterial disease commonly associated with water-based aerosols. It is often the result of poorly maintained air conditioning cooling towers and potable water systems.\n- Molds and Fungi. Molds and fungi produce and release millions of spores small enough to be air-, water-, or insect-borne which may have negative effects on human health including allergic reactions, asthma, and other respiratory problems.\n- Plague. The World Health Organization reports 1,000 to 3,000 cases of plague every year. A bioterrorist release of plague could result in a rapid spread of the pneumonic form of the disease, which could have devastating consequences.\n- Ricin. Ricin is one of the most toxic and easily produced plant toxins. It has been used in the past as a bioterrorist weapon and remains a serious threat.\n- Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is an emerging, sometimes fatal, respiratory illness. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the most recent human cases of SARS were reported in China in April 2004 and there is currently no known transmission anywhere in the world.\n- Smallpox. Smallpox is a highly contagious disease unique to humans. It is estimated that no more than 20 percent of the population has any immunity from previous vaccination.\n- Tularemia. Tularemia is also known as \"rabbit fever\" or \"deer fly fever\" and is extremely infectious. Relatively few bacteria are required to cause the disease, which is why it is an attractive weapon for use in bioterrorism.\n- Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers (VHFs). Along with smallpox, anthrax, plague, botulism, and tularemia, hemorrhagic fever viruses are among the six agents identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as the most likely to be used as biological weapons. Many VHFs can cause severe, life-threatening disease with high fatality rates.", "domain": "health"}

On the other hand, HVJ Envelope VECTOR resists degradation by lysosomes, making it easy to transfer the specified DNA. Therefore, HVJ Envelope VECTOR yields highly efficient gene expression. Sialic acid receptors, which are needed to trigger binding with HN protein, exist in almost all animal cells. Thus, HVJ Envelope VECTOR is useful for a wide range of targets\n1. Safe for use\nHVJ-E is made of Sendai virus (HVJ). The genomic RNA of Sendai virus has been completely inactivated using some reagent, leaving no possibility of infection or proliferation of HVJ-E in humans or experimental animals. Thus, this non-viral transfection tool does not require any special manipulation or facility and can be used safely in ordinary laboratories.\n2. Introduction of various molecules\nHVJ-E can incorporate a variety of molecules, e.g., plasmid DNA, siRNA/miRNA, or proteins.\nHVJ-E-incorporated molecules are introduced into cells via membrane fusion.\n3.

I’d been doing body weight exercises and stretches at home as well as walking and running, but I wanted to get back to lifting. I wanted to do flys, which make my deltoids look amazing, and leg presses, which I can easily do up to 200 pounds. I wanted to feel strong and tough and like no one could fuck with me.\nUnfortunately, I forgot how uncomfortable and ill-made gym equipment is. Much of it seems to be made for people that are 6’ tall or, at least, for no one shorter than 5’6”. Many of the machines have bulky pads that you’re supposed to rest your elbows on or lean on. Instead, these pads jam into my nipples, squish my boobs, and force me to overextend my sides. They are uncomfortable and unwieldy, which is probably why I almost never see women on them.\nInstead, you’re much more likely to see women doing cardio or occasionally free weights. There are always several women walking along the track or rocking out to Zumba or going onto their second hour on the treadmill. My gym has a women-only room, which is where I usually see women doing free weights – despite the fact that the area is a third the size of the regular weight area with maybe a fourth of the machines and equipment.\nWhile lifting is still seen as somewhat taboo among women (Oh, my God, what if it bulks me up like a man??? That is impossible, ladies. You don’t have enough testosterone. This is true for biological and transgender ladies.), it’s still the best way to get fit and, yes, lose weight. Lifting burns calories and builds muscles, which burn calories even when you’re not lifting as well as boost your metabolism. They stabilize and support you, making it easier to do cardio or any regular activity – housework, taking care of kids, walking for long periods of time, sports, dancing, throwing around heavy boxes, whatever – and can be a serious ego booster. Have you ever squatted with a 50 lb bar on your back? You feel like goddamn She-Ra.\nI’ve brought up this issue with the management but considering the same 10 treadmills have been out-of-service since I was last at the gym, I highly doubt they’re going to do anything about it. Even if they actually wanted to, I’m not sure what they could do. A quick Internet search doesn’t show any equipment brand specifically made for women other than whatever’s being hawked by Jillian Michaels and the Thighmaster. This is such a shame because refusing to adapt gym equipment for women’s physiological needs is keeping half the population from being able to work out, which means that we’re also not being as healthy as we could be. Until then, I guess we just get to deal with our feet not being able to touch the ground, squeezing our boobs behind handles, and jamming machine parts into our thighs – which, by the way, really hurts.", "domain": "health"}

The development of personal and social capability is a foundation for learning and for citizenship.\n~ excerpt from ACARA - F-10 Curriculum\nIn the Australian Curriculum, students develop personal and social capability as they learn to understand themselves and others, and manage their relationships, lives, work and learning more effectively. The capability involves students in a range of practices including recognising and regulating emotions, developing empathy for others and understanding relationships, establishing and building positive relationships, making responsible decisions, working effectively in teams, handling challenging situations constructively and developing leadership skills.\nThe Australian Education system is continuously working on ways to provide effective education for our students.\nYoga in Education\nWhen used in education, yoga is a system that teaches self-awareness, self-care and self-management by tuning into the body, the breath and the mind. The practice of yoga reduces stress, achieves emotional balance and enhances cognition.\nYoga provides an opportunity to create an inclusive environment where students with differing abilities and adults can be joyfully involved.

Upon his release, a joyful and relieved Dr. Kent Brantly called his recovery “miraculous” and thanked God for sparing his life. Dr. Brantly’s faith is personal to him and I respect the strength of his beliefs. He expressed his thoughts on the nature of his treatment and recovery. Here are mine.\nIt was not a miracle. If one is to believe what we are told about all-powerful and triumphant gods, a miracle is an easy thing for a deity. And what happened to these two patients, and what is so lacking for those suffering in Africa, was anything but easy. It was too big, too long in the making, and too much a work in progress for it to be so blithely dismissed as a “miracle”. It was outstanding care by a highly trained staff of medical professionals. It was the state-of-the-art healthcare facilities at a top-flight university. It was public and private funding for medical research. It was biologists and epidemiologists and internists and nurses and lab technicians and orderlies. It was government-sponsored research into disease transmission, control and treatment. It was decades of advances in patient care. It was nursing schools and medical schools, some private, some public, all recipients of tax dollars through a variety of grants and direct funding under state budgets. It was a combined several thousand years of collective study, research and experience embodied in the healthcare and administrative personnel and support staff. It was rigorous high school biology and chemistry programs. It was teaching evolution without which any understanding of or advances in the biological sciences is impossible. It was prioritizing education at all levels in the STEM fields, but it was also valuing education and training in the humanities and social sciences as it is those areas of study that produce the policy professionals who can more deeply understand, predict, document and describe human responses and motivations during times of extreme challenge and duress. It was thousands of hours in laboratories observing, experimenting, failing and trying again to comprehend a disease and formulate treatments. It was family and social groups that fostered a sense of responsibility to the human community. It was individual moments of insight and teamwork spread over decades. It was federal agencies and private research foundations and universities and biotech corporations. It was hard work and fierce dedication to a common goal of helping these dangerously ill people to become well again while preventing the spread of a killer.\nPerhaps given the complexity of the web of factors that coalesced to result in the two missionaries’ recovery from Ebola, one could be forgiven for ascribing it mere miracle status. But this mind-set lets us off the hook. It says we don’t have to work so hard or spend so much time and money, pay so much attention and maintain such a commitment to the education, exploration and discovery that underlie medical successes, technological achievements and social progress. Taken to an extreme, which is not out of the question in this time of corporations as religious entities, government-sponsored prayer, creationism in science classes, and religious exemptions from public health mandates, along with an anti-government movement that aggressively slashes funding for scientific research, education and social programming, we could anticipate the breakdown of this vast supportive web of knowledge, information, education, development and treatment. And celebratory press conferences like the one at Emory University Hospital would be a thing of the past. Because there would be no “miracles.”", "domain": "health"}

This article will explore the benefits of telehealth and show you what tools you need to make it a reality in your practice.\nTelehealth is when a medical practitioner offers health care services remotely using tools like video conferencing, phone calls, and other virtual tools. Telehealth has been around for a while, but it has exploded in popularity in the past few years.\nMcKinsey & Co, a management consulting firm, recently estimated that $250 billion of US healthcare spending would shift to telehealth. The growth in telehealth popularity is linked to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many patients were reluctant to visit clinics and hospitals in person during the height of the health crisis. There has also been greater support for telehealth by insurance organizations.\nTelemedicine is the practice of delivering medical care services at a difference. Telemedicine offers significant potential to improve medical care for many people. For example, people with limited mobility may use telemedicine to ask questions, receive advice, and speed up their medical care. In addition, people in rural or isolated areas may use telemedicine to access specialized doctors, nurses, and other professionals who do not live in their local community.\nDrawing a clear distinction between telehealth vs. telemedicine is challenging. Some people and organizations use these terms interchangeably. That said, there is an emerging difference between them.\nTelehealth is the broader term that can cover services, information, and education, monitoring provided by doctors, nurses, and volunteers. The fact that telehealth services could be performed by a variety of people, not just medical doctors, is one reason why telehealth can be more affordable. In addition, a telehealth service might provide general-purpose health information like answering questions about vaccines.\nTelemedicine involves providing clinical health care services remotely. For example, a patient with a chronic health condition like diabetes may meet with their doctor for a regular checkup. Telemedicine can also include more complex procedures. For instance, medical professionals have used telemedicine to perform surgery remotely. This type of remote work is a cost-effective way to increase access to medicine. According to Healthcare IT News, certain medical specialties like neurosurgery and urology have seen higher rates of telemedicine usage.\nSetting up telehealth services takes careful planning, the right technology, and creative thinking. Fortunately, there are several models of telehealth services that you can study to inform your approach. Before diving into specific technologies and methods, it is important to understand restrictions.\nRestrictions on telehealth services take several forms. First, there are insurance restrictions – not all health insurance providers support telehealth providers in the same way as traditional health providers. In the US, Medicare coverage for telehealth has recently evolved. For instance, you can get coverage for virtual check-ins, e-visits, and a few other kinds of telehealth services (e.g., renal dialysis and some emergency department visits). Confirming what telehealth services are covered is an important first step in setting up telehealth services.\nThe next restriction is practical: not all medical and health care procedures can be performed at a distance. For instance, a doctor video visit might make sense for a patient being monitored in some cases like post-surgery follow-up. However, in other situations, telehealth services might not be suitable. For example, a doctor video session cannot take blood or other tissue samples for testing.\nThe final type of restriction to understand includes skills and regulatory matters. It is unwise to assume that all patients and healthcare professionals have access to the same technology. Likewise, technology skills are likely to vary. When a patient is suffering, they may have difficulty interacting with telehealth providers. As you plan, your suite of telehealth services, training guides, videos, and other support resources may be needed. Without these resources, your patients and stakeholders may not be able to access telehealth providers when needed.\nResource: To speed up the process of creating your training for doctor video calls, check out our guide: Video Meeting Checklist: How-To Host Video Conferences.\nSetting up telehealth services requires several technologies. Review the following tips and see if your organization has the right tools in place.\nA doctor video meeting forms the core of many telehealth offerings. Therefore, it is wise to spend time testing different video platforms. Consider factors like how many attendees can join the consultation. At a minimum, there will usually be two participants in a doctor video meeting (i.e., the doctor and the patient). However, additional participants like the patient’s spouse and the doctor’s assistant or nurse may also join the call.\nWhen you select a video meeting platform for telehealth services, there are a few more criteria to keep in mind. Telehealth services involve discussing sensitive information like illnesses, symptoms, and treatment plans. To keep this information safe, a high level of security and privacy protection is essential. Look for platforms that meet GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) requirements. While not created for telehealth services specifically, using a GDPR video meeting solution is helpful. Meeting GDPR expectations means that the tool has to take substantial measures to protect personal data.\nTo make your video calls easy to use, telehealth providers need high-quality audio and video tools. Fortunately, most modern laptops and smartphones include webcams and microphones. On the patient side, telehealth providers should strive to be flexible. Let patients use whatever tools they have available. That includes offering the option for dial-in by phone if that is what patients want.\nWhen it comes to the healthcare provider side of the meeting, invest in the best tools you can afford. For example, take a look at the light situation in your office. When possible, take advantage of natural light on video calls. When natural light is not available, putting a lamp or ring light behind your webcam makes it easier to see your face.\nIn addition to lighting, purchasing noise-canceling headphones and a microphone is a smart decision. These additional pieces of equipment are especially important when you offer telehealth services in a group setting. When there are other telehealth conversations happening nearby, it is wise to take steps to protect patient confidentiality. When feasible, close the door to your workspace during doctor video calls.\nTip: The best audio and video equipment in the world is useless if you don’t know how to turn it on. Before you join your next video call, use the tips we have in the following article: Quick Tips to Test Your Webcam And Microphone. For example, there are free websites you can use to verify if your webcam is working before you start a video meeting.\nA broadband Internet connection is critically important for most telehealth services, especially those involving video. In 2015, the Federal Communications Commission recommended the following minimum broadband speeds: 25 megabit download speed and three megabit upload speed. You can use a service like Speedtest.net to check your Internet speed. If your Internet speed is low, you may need to upgrade your Internet service or get closer to your Internet router.\nAssuming telehealth services are new for your organization, starting small makes sense. Start by offering services that lend themselves to a video call. For example, you might start off by offering drop-in calls with your nurse staff. Alternatively, your approach to telehealth services might emphasize following up with patients with chronic illnesses.\nOnce you choose the specific telehealth services you want to launch, promote those services to your patients. Post about your new telehealth services on social media, on your website, and put up signs about it in your location.\nFinally, make time for continuous improvement and measurement of your telehealth services. Every 90 days, reach out to patients, doctors, and other users to gather feedback. Ask them about what is working and what is not working in your organization’s approach to telehealth services. The feedback you receive will help you to make your telehealth services even better.\nNow that you know the answer to “What is telehealth?” your next step is clear. Discuss whether and how to offer telehealth services to your community. In most cases, the fastest and easiest way to get started is to offer doctor video meetings.", "domain": "health"}

I recently spoke with spiritual guide Kelly Knaub, a healer, reiki practitioner and yogi, about her journey and her mission to help women heal from burn-out. Kelly’s powerful work and words are so inspiring and uplifting, I wanted to find out more…\nHow did you get into reiki and kundalini yoga?\nThe truth is, I never planned on getting into either one. I had practiced yoga for nearly two decades off and on, with about 10 of those years spent studying under a Kripalu yoga teacher. My plan was to get certified in Kripalu, the yoga of compassion (which I still hold close to my heart). I had been renting out a space at Golden Bridge Yoga in New York for about a year and a half for a 12-step support group meeting I had started for people who grew up in alcoholic homes. Although I loved the energy of the space, I had no interest in Kundalini yoga (also known as the yoga of awareness). In fact, I have to be completely honest—I had judged it as weird and a bit “cultish.” Eventually, I got to a point in my life where I had completely burned myself out and was experiencing a full-blown crisis, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I knew that I had to let go of some of the many responsibilities I had on my plate to give myself time to heal. When I gave up my weekly support group commitment, I decided to try a class at Golden Bridge since I figured I wouldn’t be going back. Those 90 minutes changed my life. I fell completely in love with it. It provided healing on every level that I hadn’t before experienced with any other style of yoga. Shortly before I took that class I had a dream that I traveled to the spiritual realm, where everyone was dressed in white. I had gone there seeking help. Certain things I dreamt revealed themselves as I stepped onto my Kundalini yoga path. Several weeks later I received an intuitive insight to sign up for teacher training, and the rest is history 🙂\nMy path to Reiki is somewhat similar. Not long after I began yoga teacher training, I was still struggling with my physical health—a severe (chronic stress-related) GI infection that I had been battling for nearly 8 months—so I decided to try Reiki. I booked a session with a practitioner who lived not far away in Brooklyn and was astounded at how intense I could feel it in my energetic channels (it was very tingly!) and how completely peaceful I felt when I left. She happened to be teaching a Level I and II Reiki course the following week, so I signed up and got certified. Within two weeks of giving myself daily Reiki treatments (as well as an herbal protocol I embarked on under the guidance of a naturopath after antibiotics failed), my infection cleared up for the first time ever. Since then, I have studied with two other Reiki masters, learning techniques for utilizing intuitive practices with Reiki and also getting certified in Shamanic Reiki, which incorporates shamanic practices and earth-based wisdom. I also had dreams about Reiki before I ever received it or started practicing. I get a lot of guidance in my dreams.\nWhat services do you offer your clients and how are those services unique?\nRight now I offer a 12-week, one-on-one mentorship, The Divine Journey Home, which helps women who are stressed or burned out heal and connect with their soul’s purpose. All of us—every single one of us—came to this earth with a purpose and I truly feel called to help other women get in touch with that. It’s also great for women who already have clarity on their purpose but want support and guidance in staying connected to it. It’s a unique program in that it uses a variety of healing tools: Kundalini yoga and meditation, Reiki, shamanic practices, handcrafted aromatherapy products for energetic support, and exercises such as journaling, self-care rituals, guidance in creating a spiritual practice, creative visualization, and more. The classes and sessions are available in-person in Brooklyn or through Skype or Google Hangouts. People often tend to think that long distance healing work is not as effective or powerful, but I know from firsthand experience that it is. I’m currently studying long-distance with Sandra Ingerman, a pretty renowned shamanic teacher, with classmates all over the world, and I’ve had some of my most powerful journeys that way. It’s energy that we’re working with, after all.\nCan you talk about some benefits of working with you?\nI’m passionate about helping women see that whatever challenge they’re facing — whether it’s burnout, crisis, ill health, or simply lack of play time — can become an opportunity for growth and even their greatest blessing. I help them connect with their intuition, transform negative beliefs that are standing in their way, and create strong self-care and spiritual practices. Another huge component is helping them move through any fear that’s holding them back and to get clear on what steps they need to take to create a life that feels fully aligned with their purpose. I also want to note that “purpose” is often misunderstood as this one set thing that we have to “figure out.” I have learned that purpose has way more to do with who we are being in the world than with what we are doing. Our work will likely evolve over time—the key is staying connected to our authentic selves. Aligned action can flow from there. So this is really about peeling away the layers to uncover your true self and to create a life that reflects that truth.\nWhat was/is your vision for the work that you do?\nMy vision has definitely evolved. My initial idea was to start a small line of aromatherapy products. Over time, I got clearer on my purpose and realized that I felt called to help women on their own healing and spiritual paths. In the end, I found a way to combine all of my passions, including the aromatherapy products! My vision now is to help other women raise their consciousness and wake up to who they really are. It’s especially important to me in light of everything that’s going on in the world—there’s so much fear, anger, and negativity permeating the collective consciousness right now. But there is also a lot of hope and a lot of love. People are coming together.\nWhat do you practice each day?\nI practice Kundalini yoga & meditation every morning, which I’m fascinated by because before, when I did other styles of yoga, I always struggled with a daily practice. It was always something I resisted and just couldn’t seem to make stick. My experience with Kundalini yoga has been so different. I call it “energetic hygiene.” It’s like brushing my teeth. I can’t imagine starting my day without it.\nCan you recommend an inspiring book or movie?\nI watched the movie “Finding Joe” not too long ago and that was pretty inspiring.

Food insecurity is a major social determinant of health, and seniors' ability to access food due to mobility and transportation limitations is increasing as a result of the pandemic.\nCentene provides Medicare Advantage plans to nearly one million members across the country with solutions tailored to adults aged 65 years or older. Our health plans have implemented a number of measures to help members access care and address social determinants of health while keeping the needs of an aging population top-of-mind. In May, Centene announced cost-sharing would be waived for in-network primary care, behavioral health, and telehealth, while expanding over-the-counter and meal benefits for Medicare members.\nAs part of Centene’s commitment to addressing non-medical barriers to care, WellCare, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Centene, offers its WellCare's Community Connections Help Line — a toll-free, nationwide number — that encourages members to voice their needs. Between March 1 and June 30, the Help Line fielded more than 4,000 calls from Medicare members. Food assistance was the most requested service (34 percent) followed by medication assistance (26 percent) and transportation (14 percent). Continuing Centene’s history of innovation, new solutions were developed and implemented.\nOne recent enhancement is Centene's partnership with Shipt, a same-day delivery service. The program enables Medicare Advantage members to access groceries and everyday essentials safely and conveniently. Shipt-enrolled members can have essential supplies delivered directly to their homes, helping seniors avoid unnecessary trips to the store that could expose them to the novel coronavirus. The benefit is available to more than 200,000 WellCare members across 23 states and provides free monthly Shipt memberships to eligible members for the remainder of 2020.\nThis partnership is one example of Centene's ability to keep members’ needs at the forefront while increasing health-focused solutions.

I’ve been involved with this process for long enough to have participated in each of these roles. I recall during the early 1990s experts promoted the term “resiliency,” which is the capacity to adapt, navigate and bounce back from adverse and challenging life experiences. Researchers and practitioners alike clamored over strategies to build more resilient youth.\nIn the early 2000’s the term “youth development” gained currency and had a significant influence on youth development programs, and probably more importantly how we viewed young people. Youth development offered an important shift in focus from viewing youth as problems to be solved to community assets who simply required supports and opportunities for healthy development. Since that time, a range of approaches have influenced how we think about young people, and consequently our programmatic strategies. I have, for the most part, attempted to nudge and cajole each of these approaches to consider the unique ways in which race, identity and social marginalization influence the development of youth of color.\nMore recently, practitioners and policy stakeholders have recognized the impact of trauma on learning, and healthy development. In efforts to support young people who experience trauma, the term “trauma-informed care” has gained traction among schools, juvenile justice departments, mental health programs and youth development agencies around the country. Trauma informed care broadly refers to a set of principles that guide and direct how we view the impact of severe harm on young people’s mental, physical, and emotional health. Trauma informed care encourages support and treatment to the whole person, rather than focusing on only treating individual symptoms or specific behaviors.\nTrauma-informed care has become an important approach in schools and agencies that serve young people who have been exposed to trauma, and here’s why. Some school leaders believe that the best way to address disruptive classroom behavior is through harsh discipline. These schools believe that discipline alone is sufficient to modify undesired classroom behavior, but research shows that school suspensions may further harm students who have been exposed to a traumatic event or experience (Bottiani et al., 2017). Rather than using discipline, a school that uses a trauma informed approach might offer therapy, or counseling to support the restoration of that student’s well-being. The assumption is that the disruptive behavior is the symptom of a deeper harm, rather than willful defiance, or disrespect.\nWhile trauma-informed care offers an important lens to support young people who have been harmed and emotionally injured, it also has its limitations. I first became aware of the limitations of the term “trauma-informed care” during a healing circle I was leading with a group of African American young men. All of them had experienced some form of trauma ranging from sexual abuse, violence, homelessness, abandonment or all of the above. During one of our sessions, I explained the impact of stress and trauma on brain development and how trauma can influence emotional health. As I was explaining, one of the young men in the group named Marcus abruptly stopped me and said, “I am more than what happened to me, I’m not just my trauma”. I was puzzled at first, but it didn’t take me long to really contemplate what he was saying.\nThe term “trauma informed care” didn’t encompass the totality of his experience and focused only on his harm, injury and trauma. For Marcus, the term “trauma informed care” was akin to saying, you are the worst thing that ever happened to you. For me, I realized the term slipped into the murky water of deficit based, rather than asset driven strategies to support young people who have been harmed. Without careful consideration of the terms we use, we can create blind spots in our efforts to support young people.\nWhile the term trauma informed care is important, it is incomplete. First, trauma informed care correctly highlights the specific needs for individual young people who have exposure to trauma. However, current formulations of trauma informed care presumes that the trauma is an individual experience, rather than a collective one. To illustrate this point, researchers have shown that children in high violence neighborhoods all display behavioral and psychological elements of trauma (Sinha & Rosenberg 2013). Similarly, populations that disproportionately suffer from disasters like Hurricane Katrina share a common experience that if viewed individually simply fails to capture how collective harm requires a different approach than an individual one.\nSecond, trauma-informed care requires that we treat trauma in people but provides very little insight into how we might address the root causes of trauma in neighborhoods, families, and schools. If trauma is collectively experienced, this means that we also have to consider the environmental context that caused the harm in the first place. By only treating the individual we only address part of the equation leaving the toxic systems, policies and practices neatly intact.\nThird, the term trauma-informed care runs the risk of focusing on the treatment of pathology (trauma), rather than fostering the possibility (well-being). This is not an indictment on well-meaning therapists and social workers many of whom may have been trained in theories and techniques designed to simply reduce negative emotions and behavior (Seligman 2011). However, just like the absence of disease doesn’t constitute health, nor the absence of violence constitute peace, the reduction pathology (anxiety, anger, fear, sadness, distrust, triggers) doesn’t constitute well-being (hope, happiness, imagination, aspirations, trust). Everyone wants to be happy, not just have less misery. The emerging field of positive psychology offers insight into the limits of only “treating” symptoms and focuses on enhancing the conditions that contribute to well-being. Without more careful consideration, trauma informed approaches sometimes slip into rigid medical models of care that are steeped in treating the symptoms, rather than strengthening the roots of well-being.\nWhat is needed is an approach that allows practitioners to approach trauma with a fresh lens that promotes a holistic view of healing from traumatic experiences and environments. One approach is called healing-centered, as opposed to trauma-informed. A healing centered approach is holistic involving culture, spirituality, civic action and collective healing. A healing-centered approach views trauma not simply as an individual isolated experience, but rather highlights the ways in which trauma and healing are experienced collectively. The term healing-centered engagement expands how we think about responses to trauma and offers more holistic approach to fostering well-being.\nThe Promise of Healing Centered Engagement\nA shift from trauma informed care to healing centered engagement (HCE) is more than a semantic play with words, but rather a tectonic shift in how we view trauma, its causes and its intervention. HCE is strength based, advances a collective view of healing, and re-centers culture as a central feature in well-being. Researchers have pointed out the ways in which patients have redefined the terms used to describe their illnesses in ways that affirmed, humanized and dignified their condition. For example, in the early 1990s AIDS activists challenged the term “gay-related immune deficiency” because the term stigmatized gay men and failed to adequately capture the medical accuracy of the condition. In a similar way, the young men I worked with offered me a way to reframe trauma with language that humanized them, and holistically captured their life experiences.\nA healing centered approach to addressing trauma requires a different question that moves beyond “what happened to you” to “what’s right with you” and views those exposed to trauma as agents in the creation of their own well-being rather than victims of traumatic events. Healing centered engagement is akin to the South African term “Ubuntu” meaning that humanness is found through our interdependence, collective engagement and service to others. Additionally, healing centered engagement offers an asset driven approach aimed at the holistic restoration of young peoples’ well-being. The healing centered approach comes from the idea that people are not harmed in a vacuum, and well-being comes from participating in transforming the root causes of the harm within institutions. Healing centered engagement also advances the move to “strengths-based’ care and away from the deficit based mental health models that drives therapeutic interventions. There are four key elements of healing centered engagement that may at times overlap with current trauma informed practices but offers several key distinctions.\n· Healing centered engagement is explicitly political, rather than clinical.\nCommunities, and individuals who experience trauma are agents in restoring their own well-being. This subtle shift suggests that healing from trauma is found in an awareness and actions that address the conditions that created the trauma in the first place. Researchers have found that well-being is a function of the control and power young people have in their schools and communities (Morsillo & Prilleltensky 2007; Prilleltensky & Prilleltensky 2006). These studies focus on concepts such as such as liberation, emancipation, oppression, and social justice among activist groups and suggests that building an awareness of justice and inequality, combined with social action such as protests, community organizing, and/or school walk-outs contribute to overall wellbeing, hopefulness, and optimism (Potts 2003; Prilleltensky 2003, 2008). This means that healing centered engagement views trauma and well-being as function of the environments where people live, work and play. When people advocate for policies and opportunities that address causes of trauma, such as lack of access to mental health, these activities contribute to a sense of purpose, power and control over life situations. All of these are ingredients necessary to restore well-being and healing.\n· Healing centered engagement is culturally grounded and views healing as the restoration of identity.\nThe pathway to restoring well-being among young people who experience trauma can be found in culture and identity. Healing centered engagement uses culture as a way to ground young people in a solid sense of meaning, self-perception, and purpose. This process highlights the intersectional nature of identity and highlights the ways in which culture offers a shared experience, community and sense of belonging. Healing is experienced collectively, and is shaped by shared identity such as race, gender, or sexual orientation. Healing centered engagement is the result of building a healthy identity, and a sense of belonging. For youth of color, these forms of healing can be rooted in culture and serves as an anchor to connect young people to a shared racial and ethnic identity that is both historical grounded and contemporarily relevant. Healing centered engagement embraces a holistic view of well-being that includes spiritual domains of health. This goes beyond viewing healing only from the lens of mental health, and incorporates culturally grounded rituals, and activities to restore well-being (Martinez 2001). Some examples of healing centered engagement can be found in healing circles rooted in indigenous culture where young people share their stories about healing and learn about their connection to their ancestors and traditions, or drumming circles rooted in African cultural principles.\n· Healing centered engagement is asset driven and focuses well-being we want, rather than symptoms we want to suppress.\nHealing centered engagement offers an important departure from solely viewing young people through the lens of harm and focuses on asset driven strategies that highlight possibilities for well-being. An asset driven strategy acknowledges that young people are much more than the worst thing that happened to them, and builds upon their experiences, knowledge, skills and curiosity as positive traits to be enhanced. While it is important to acknowledge trauma and its influence on young people’s mental health, healing centered strategies move one step beyond by focusing on what we want to achieve, rather than merely treating emotional and behavioral symptoms of trauma. This is a salutogenic approach focusing on how to foster and sustain well-being. Based in positive psychology, healing centered engagement is based in collective strengths and possibility which offers a departure from conventional psychopathology which focuses on clinical treatment of illness.\n· Healing centered engagement supports adult providers with their own healing.\nAdult providers need healing too! Healing centered engagement requires that we consider how to support adult providers in sustaining their own healing and well-being. We cannot presume that adulthood is a final, “trauma-free” destination. Much of our training and practice is directed at young peoples’ healing but rarely focuses on the healing that is required of adults to be an effective youth practitioner. Healing is an ongoing process that we all need, not just young people who experience trauma. The well-being of the adult youth worker is also a critical factor in supporting young peoples’ well-being. While we are learning more about the causes and effects of secondary on adults, we know very little about the systems of support required to restore and sustain well-being for adults. Healing centered engagement has an explicit focus on restoring, and sustaining the adults who attempt to heal youth- a healing the healers approach. Policy stakeholders should consider how to build a systems that support adult youth worker’s well-being. I have supported organizations in creating structures like sabbaticals for employees or creating incentives like continuing education units for deeper learning about well-being and healing.\nA Note for Practice and Policy\nMarcus’s comments during our healing circle “I am more than what happened to me” led me to question our approach to trauma. What blind spots do we have in our approaches to supporting young people who experience trauma? How might the concepts which are enshrined in our language limit rather than create opportunities for healing? What approaches might offer “disruptive” techniques that saturate young people with opportunities for healing and well-being?\nThe fields of positive psychology and community psychology offers important insight into how policy makers, and youth development stakeholders can consider a range of healing centered options for young people. Shifting from trauma informed care or treatment to healing centered engagement requires youth development stakeholders to expand from a treatment-based model, which views trauma and harm as an isolated experience, to an engagement model which supports collective well-being. Here are a few notes to consider in building healing centered engagement.\n· Start by building empathy\nHealing centered engagement begins by building empathy with young people who experience trauma. This process takes time, is an ongoing process and sometimes may feel like taking two steps forward, and three steps back. However, building empathy is critical to healing centered engagement. To create this empathy, I encourage adult staff to share their story first, and take an emotional risk by being more vulnerable, honest, and open to young people. This process creates an empathy exchange between the adult, and the young people which is the foundation for healing centered engagement (Payne 2013). This process also strengthens emotional literacy which allows youth to discuss the complexity of their feelings. Fostering empathy allows for young people to feel safe sharing their experiences and emotions. The process ultimately restores their sense of well-being because they have the power name and respond to their emotional states.\n· Encourage young people to dream and imagine!\nAn important ingredient in healing centered engagement is the ability to acknowledge the harm and injury, but not be defined by it. Perhaps one of the greatest tools available to us is the ability to see beyond the condition, event or situation that caused the trauma in the first place. Research shows that the ability to dream and imagine is an important factor in fostering hopefulness, and optimism which both of which contributes to overall well-being (Snyder et al. 2003). Daily survival and ongoing crisis management in young people’s lives can make it difficult for them to see beyond the present.\nThe greatest casualty of trauma is not only depression and emotional scares, but also the loss of the ability to dream and imagine another way of living. Howard Thurman pointed this out in his eloquent persistence that dreams matter. He commented, “As long as a man [woman] has a dream, he [she] cannot lose the significance of living” (p. 304). By creating activities and opportunities for young people to play, reimagine, design and envision their lives this process strengthens their future goal orientation (Snyder et al. 2003). These are practices of possibility that encourage young people to envision what they want to become, and who they want to be.\n· Build critical reflection and take loving action.\nHealing and well-being are fundamentally political not clinical. This means that we have to consider the ways in which the policies and practice and political decisions harm young people. Healing in this context also means that young people develop an analysis of these practices and policies that facilitated the trauma in the first place. Without an analysis of these issues, young people often internalize, and blame themselves for lack of confidence. Critical reflection provides a lens by which to filter, examine, and consider analytical and spiritual responses to trauma. By spiritual, I mean the ability to draw upon the power of culture, rituals and faith in order to consistently act from a place of humility, and love. These are not cognitive processes, but rather ethical, moral and emotional aspects of healing centered engagement.\nThe other key component, is taking loving action, by collectively responding to political decisions and practices that can exacerbate trauma. By taking action, (e.g. school walkouts, organizing peace march, or promoting access to healthy foods) it builds a sense of power and control over their lives. Research has demonstrated that building this sense of power and control among traumatized groups is perhaps one of the most significant features in restoring holistic well-being.\nConcluding Remarks: The Future of Healing\nI ran into Marcus at a street fair in Oakland not long ago. He was excited to see me and wanted to share with me that he was in a new relationship so he introduced me to his girlfriend. “This is my friend Michelle”! He introduced her with a sense of pride, and accomplishment. He also shared with me that he had enrolled in a program that was training him to become a medic. As we chatted for a while in the warm sun, dodging children, and fast walking parents, he leaned toward me and whispered, “yeah Dr. G, I’m not entirely healed, but I’m hopeful”. I smiled, gave him a “brotha hug” and we departed ways.\nI suppose, that if we had more time to chat he would have explained that healing is a process that we navigate for a lifetime. He might have shared with me that the future of his healing journey had just begun. Seeing him again, holding hands, sipping a soda with his new girlfriend was a powerful reminder, that he was so much more than the trauma he had experienced. As practitioners, researchers and policy stakeholders we need to listen and learn from young people who have insights that can advance how we think about trauma and healing. Shifting to healing centered engagement offered new questions, and strategies about how to support young people who experience trauma. Healing centered engagement is just a step toward a more holistic, and humanistic framework to support young people who have been harmed. Such an approach encourages us to think and act more boldly about how to restore young people and create places where they can truly flourish.\nDr. Shawn Ginwright is Associate Professor of Education, and African American Studies at San Francisco State University and the author of Hope and Healing in Urban Education: How Activists are Reclaiming Matters of the Heart.\nLearn more about becoming a Certified Healing Centered Engagement Practitioner here.\nBottiani, J.

As a dietitian, I love all things food - eating, cooking, experimenting, sharing. I really believe that good nutrition is an investment in your future: You might not see the benefits right away but in the long run it's worth every penny. Think of nutrition like a good insurance policy. That being said, I'm a firm believer in the 80-20 rule... enjoyment is important and I love my wine and chocolate!\nI am a serious nerd when it comes to nutrition and exercise - I can chat about these topics all day, and I often do - it makes me that excited! Two of my happy places are in the kitchen and in the gym. The gym is like my meditation... my place to turn my brain off and live in the physical. My kitchen is my way of being creative - I wasn't blessed with other artistic skills (my friends can attest to this), but creating and adapting recipes does the trick. When I'm not working or learning, I enjoy adventuring. My favourite places in the world are on top of any mountain, or being snuggled inside by a fire.\nI also love spending time in my mom's kitchen (much nicer than mine) and my dad's garden (shown below). My parents have been a huge influence on my path in life, and for that I am grateful. They have always been strong role models for living a healthy lifestyle, and encouraged the importance of exercise and nutrition right from when I was young. Not only that, but they always encouraged me to shoot for the stars. They even listen to my advice sometimes and let me test my recipes on them.\nBefore I became a dietitian I completed a degree in exercise and health physiology - partly because I love learning about how the human body works, and partly because I wanted to learn how to help people become healthier or stay healthy before they get sick!\nI know nutrition and exercise aren't the only pieces of the puzzle, but they are two very important pieces. I believe that everyone deserves a chance to enjoy the healthiest life possible for them, and I want to help people get there. Being proactive about your health is so important. Yes, genetics play a role, but we live in a society where more and more people have diseases caused by poor lifestyle choices each year. Sadly, so many of us take our health for granted and wait until we are sick to think about it - don't be one of those people! Find things in life that you love that also love you back in the long-term benefit kind of way.\nAs a dietitian I spend a lot of my time reviewing blood work, medications, supplements, food intake and medical histories. Most importantly I spend time talking with clients - to understand where they're at, how they got there, and where they want to be. Then I get to translate all this nutrition stuff into food! Together, we come up with a specific nutrition plan to meet their individual medical and dietary needs.\nI love what I do, but I also love my life outside of work. When I'm not working you'll find me on an outdoor adventure, playing in my kitchen, or enjoying a good conversation with friends over a glass of wine or a cup of coffee. Nothing beats the feeling of being on top of a mountain or laughing so hard my abs hurt. I will spend my life finding things that bring me purpose and joy, and I hope this blog will be one of them!\nYou might be wondering - what's the difference between a Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist (Holistic or other)? While you might hear some dietitians call themselves nutritionists, not all nutritionists can call themselves dietitians. \"Nutritionist\" is an unregulated term in Canada and in the US, meaning anyone can call themselves a \"Nutritionist.\" A nutritionist may have very little education, and their 'designation' is not regulated by any governing body. Nutritionists can't work in hospitals and aren't clinically trained to treat patients with acute or chronic diseases. A Registered Dietitian is a licensed professional required to hold at minimum a 4 year bachelor's degree from a government-accredited University. In addition to their university education, they are also required to complete a 1 year post-graduate internship as well as passing a national board licensing exam to become licensed. They are regulated by a governing body and held to strict standards of practice just as other designated professionals are (doctors, nurses, lawyers, physiotherapists).

It is also a profound way of working through deep conditioned patterns that may have been necessary for survival at one time but are now inhibiting aspects of your life such as your health, happiness, joy, relationships, and fulfillment. Direct work with mindful attention to the body brings the nervous system back into regulation, positively affecting mood, confidence, and the capacity to meet life’s current challenges with dynamic presence and resilience.\nSomatic Experiencing is a widely respected, innovative, body-centered approach to emotional healing & trauma resolution developed by Dr. Peter Levine, based upon over 35 years of research and study into stress and trauma. SE is a unique approach, which draws upon the latest scientific research of how our triune autonomic nervous system mobilizes to respond to threat. SE is modeled off of animals in the wild, who engage innate, instinctive, physiological processes to discharge the massive fight, flight, and freeze energies associated with survival. As a result wild animals are rarely traumatized, even though their lives are routinely threatened.\nAlthough humans have virtually the same innate self-regulating mechanisms as animals, we often override or inhibit these processes thwarting our own capacity to heal and recover from trauma. When we fail to discharge the high levels of arousal associated with survival these massive energies stay trapped in our neuromuscular and central nervous systems and wreak havok on our bodies and minds. It is this trapped energy that develops into a whole constellation of post-traumatic symptoms including pain, anxiety, anger, depression, intrusive thoughts and imagery, physical illness, and cognitive impairments. Somatic Experiencing provides the steps needed to reconnect people with the innate wisdom of their bodies. Through focused conscious awareness of bodily sensations clients are able to access these restorative physiological patterns, resolve their traumatic symptoms, and re-engage in life with renewed optimism, vitality, creativity, resilience, and joy. Somatic Experiencing is an integrative mind-body approach to dealing with stress, anxiety and trauma issues. It utilizes somatic awareness and mindfulness as a primary orientation.\nSomatic Experiencing (SE) is different from other therapeutic modalities in that it engages focused awareness of bodily sensations to engage innate self-regulation and healing. SE is not talk therapy. SE helps the individual develop body awareness to \"renegotiate\" and heal trauma rather than relive or re-enact trauma. It does this by titrating traumatic material with highly resourced states while maintaining awareness of the bodily \"felt sense,\" and allowing time and space for the highly aroused survival energies to be safely experienced and gradually discharged. SE naturally builds greater and greater inner resiliency, self-regulation, and wellness.\nThe basic principles and concepts of Somatic Experiencing:\nTitration - In Somatic Experiencing, slow is considered fast. When trauma occurs in our life, it comes at us at a pace that is too fast, too much, too soon. Trauma is an experience that overwhelms the normal capacity of our nervous system and we are unable to integrate the experience. Titration, is a concept in chemistry where one tiny drop of a volatile substance is added to another volatile substance, allowing time for the chemical reaction to take place and integrate into the whole before introducing another drop. If the two substances were combined without titration an explosive and volatile destabilizing reaction would take place. But if they are added in a slow and titrated way, much like we do in SE, we only get little reactions, and ones that the nervous system is able to integrate. (In chemistry, after hundreds of little titrations these two substances reach critical mass and transform into two inert or harmless substances). As the nervous system is given time and space to integrate each titration, healing occurs without re-traumatization and without further destabilization. In our culture and society we are accustomed to talk therapy and telling the story. However, when unresolved trauma is concerned, we often overwhelm the capacity of our nervous system again and again in the retelling, and our brain and physiology mobilizes to respond to these events that, although in the past, are still present in our body. Titration refers to the process of taking small steps and proceeding slowly to tap into this trapped arousal and provide enough time and space for these small titrations to be integrated, moving the nervous system closer and closer to critical mass, stabilization, transformation of the trauma into an inert substance. When the trauma occurred too much happened too fast and too intense. Slowing it down, taking breaks and stretching time are therefore important therapeutic tools to process trauma safely.\nResourcing - In Somatic Experiencing it is essential in working with Trauma to ground the person in resources, before navigating the traumatic terrain. SE focuses on developing and expanding the resource-repertoire of our clients in the safety of the therapeutic environment. Learning how to experience resources in our bodies enable us to work with trauma symptoms safely. Resource can be akin to grabbing on to a tree and getting to higher ground before unleashing floodgates of trauma, and titration can be akin opening the floodgates only a little at a time. Without a stable ground to hold onto, one can easily be swept away by the strong prevailing current of trauma and re-enactment. In Somatic Experiencing resources or conflict free states are grounded in the client's body as positive (or neutral) sensorimotor states. It is not just visual imagery, but rather visual kinesthetic sensory experience. It is not just thinking of a safe place, but experiencing the feeling of safety in the body now. When one has access to internal sensory experiences of inner strength, support, peace, love, connection with nature, determination, connection with friends, one has found an internal higher ground and one has more capacity to digest, heal and integrate the traumatic experience safely and gently.\nPendulation - The healthy nervous system is constantly in a state of expansion and contraction, called pendulation. We want our clients to have this kind of flexibility and fluidity. The SE practitioner assists clients to start pendulation. One of the tools used is looping between resources or conflict free states and small titrations of traumatic material. This process of looping kick starts the natural self-regulation of the nervous system and a natural rhythm of pendulation. Traumatized people often don't trust the pendulation when it begins to happen. When the energy starts to release or change they often cognitively judge the process, or perceive the contraction in the body as an internal threat, and the client goes into increased arousal (or fear) over the process. By assisting the client to understand the natural physiological processes of the body and to observe these processes with curiosity rather than fear, the nervous system is able to click into self-regulation and begin digesting and discharging traumatic energy from the body. An SE session generally begins with establishing a resourceful, positive state, then it carefully approaches the outermost edges of the traumatic experience. Once the client begins to gently touch into difficult events or feelings the practitioner helps make sure that he/she/they only takes small \"bites\" of this material as the nervous system can handle and supports the naturally occurring return of pendulation within the body. SE practitioners watch for physical signs indicating the release which may come in various forms such as small shivers, deep breaths, hot or cold flashes.

Her story, deeply rooted in Greek mythology, continues to echo through modern medical practices, reminding us of the timeless importance of health and hygiene.\nHygeia's Origins and Family\nBorn into a divine lineage deeply entrenched in the realms of healing and medicine, Hygeia represents more than just a mythological figure; she embodies a centuries-old ethos toward health and cleanliness. As the daughter of Asclepius, the god of medicine, and Epione, the goddess known for soothing pain, Hygeia's role as the guardian of good health was almost predestined.\nAsclepius wasn't just any deity but a pivotal figure whose legendary healing skills earned him a place among the gods. This connection places Hygeia in a lineage that was revered not just for supernatural influences but for a practical and much-needed aspect of ancient daily life – healthcare and wellness.\nHygeia grew up surrounded by siblings who were themselves cornerstones in the medical pantheon. These included:\n- Panacea, the goddess capable of curing all illnesses\n- Iaso, who personified healing and recuperation\n- Aceso, linked with the process of healing\n- Aglaea, connected to the glory and beauty that comes with good health\nThis family dynamic highlights the holistic approach the Greeks had towards health, viewing it not merely as the absence of disease but as a complex harmony between different aspects of wellbeing – a concept strikingly modern in its outlook.\nApollo, the god of numerous interests like music, prophecy, and healing, was Asclepius's father, making him Hygeia's grandfather. Being under the tutelage of such potent deities further cemented her authority in medicine.\nHygeia's role extended outward through powerful alliances and partnerships. Her interaction with Athena points to an intriguing crossover between wisdom and health. Athena, who had a soubriquet 'Athena Hygieia,' indicated an ideological blend where wisdom plays quintessential roles in leading a healthy and balanced life.\nHygeia's family tree reinforces her significance in the pantheon and underscores her specific concentration on preventative medicine – a field that arguably holds more relevance now than ever. Understanding her background clarifies why she so profoundly symbolizes health preservation and why numerous sanctuaries dedicated to her and her father speckled the ancient Greek landscape.\nMoving from goddess to cultural symbol, Hygeia's attributes – typically represented by the serpent (an emblem of renewal) and chalice – were not random but stemmed from her deep-seated ties in mythological lore. Carefully observing Hygeia's familial ties and interpolating these with her defining symbols and roles within Greek culture affirms her immortal relevance. These symbols persist today across various medical emblems worldwide, which means Hygeia's still got our backs in the name of health!\nSymbolism and Worship of Hygeia\nIf you've ever wondered why a snake is everywhere in medical iconography, thank Hygeia. That serpent twined around a cup actually stands for something far more benevolent. This symbol, direct from Hygeia's ancient accessory rack, embodies renewal and the cyclical nature of health. Snakes shed their skin and, metaphorically, shed maladies and diseases along with it. The snake also hints at the dual nature of medicine. Much like its venom can kill or heal (in controlled doses), medicine is a field that continually balances between harm and help.\nSanctuaries dedicated to Hygeia dotted the lush landscapes of Greece. These were not average temples; these were Asclepieia, centers of healing where ill folks could retreat in hopes of divine intervention via dream therapy – think divine healing sessions, with priest-doctors taking an active role in processes pioneered by Asclepius, but significantly influenced by Hygeia's preventive medicine ethos.\nThe actual rites carried out in these temples were serene, with supplicants slowly strolling and somberly whispering prayers, their hopes pinned on becoming healthy. The water used in rituals, symbolizing cleanliness and offering physical and spiritual purity, amplified Hygeia's connection with practical health measures. This added a vital element to the ancient world's understanding of well-being—both internal and external hygiene.\nHygeia's cult opportunities expanded after its Greece debut. As the worship of Asclepius boomed, so did that of Hygeia, moving into Rome where she adopted the name Salus and gained a temple titled Salus Publica Populi Romani. It was a public healthcare official's dream, underscoring her image not just as a personal health assistant but as a guardian of public welfare.\nRomans didn't just stop at building temples; they integrated Hygeia's principles into daily life, eventually influencing much of the Roman ethos. The infusion of Greek culture helped Romans digest these health concepts, demonstrating that effective healthcare is a mix of both prevention and cure — foreshadowing today's healthcare strategies.\nWhether cruising by a pharmacy or watching an ambulance whiz by, the stamped symbols of snakes entwined with staffs subliminally sing songs of Hygeia. Far from these depictions being scary, they are there to reassure you — hold up the promise of vitality, renewal, and that someone will be there to help.\nSo to Hygeia, let us tip our hats. While not always in the direct spotlight like her power-player pantheon family members, this once niche goddess became a trendsetter before ancient peoples even knew they needed her. A toast to mankind's perpetual healthcare champion! Dust off your snake decorations and pay homage to Hygeia; she's still got us covered even in modern times!\nHygeia's Influence on Medicine and Society\nTraveling back into ancient times where Hygeia's principles wove themselves firmly within Greek society reveals a tapestry of medical enlightenment along with a strong emphasis on hygiene. The goddess didn't just sprinkle good health wishes; she rolled up her divine sleeves and embedded essential preventative principles into the very DNA of ancient society. She was Mother Greece's favorite healthcare go-to!\nAs the beacon of hygiene, Hygeia's influence extended way past her mythological abode into real-world practices. She was an early health influencer when the term was possibly just reserved for those persuadable gods lining Mount Olympus.\nHygeia's core messages of cleanliness and prevention were not just glitzy suggestions floating in the skies of Greece. They were a hands-on guide for ancient humans grappling with health issues. By emphasizing clean living conditions, proper personal hygiene, and the removal of illness catalysts, she spread her wellness web across public spaces and private homes alike. Greek baths, the talk of the town, weren't just social hotspots; they were disease-preventing pit stops echoing Hygeia's cleanliness reign.\nTaking her charm offensive to healthcare, Hygeia vouched for regular check-ups in healing sanctuaries—those serene wellness oases—where ill Greeks checked in hoping godly doctors might cross paths with divine nurses, bearing Asclepius-approved scrolls. \"Run with rhythm, eat with reason, and sleep with schedules,\" they'd preach. With a chalice in one hand and often a snake in the other, Hygeia taught through her sanctuaries that preventing sickness was more straightforward than treating it.\nPost-Greece, carrying her sanitizing spirit, her philosophical principles seeped into emerging medical practices across empires. While Hygeia didn't pen epic medical dramas, her preventive techniques inspired venerable health guardians beyond her shores. Hygienic codes mirrored in Roman statutes and Hippocratic guidelines whispered her clean-living mantras decades beyond her time.\nToday, if you glimpse beyond modern stethoscopes and white coats, you'll spot subtle nods to Hygeia's enormous contribution to the platform that has become contemporary healthcare. Medical ethics and practices stepping out from her snake-cup shadows encourage vibrant steps against modern pandemics—proof that a stitch in Hygeia's prevention yarn may indeed save nine in global healthcare crises.\nSo tip your hat because from wiping your feet on a mat to sipping medicine from a sterile pack, Hygeia's unseen health halo lingers—a divine testament that empathizes and guides through its lessons in longevity. A ripple through eternity's healthcare tape, championing mankind's pursuit of infinite health. Could Hygeia ever have pictured herself envisioned clean in your local ER? Well, deities don't daydream, they sweep onto bigger stuff—like safeguarding your health millennia later! Thanks to Hygeia, longevity is not just trendy; it's virtually venerated! Cheers to perpetually prepped health horizons!\nHygeia in Art and Modern Depictions\nThrough the grainy tones of time and backed by iconic marble figures, Hygeia's depictions in ancient art resonate with a near-breathless divinity. Classically poised, often depicted with her snake and chalice—imagine your overused takeaway coffee cup but epically ancient and way cooler—her visual representations span sculpture, vase paintings, and monumental reliefs, packing artistic clout.\nSculptors rallied around the celestial motif of Hygeia dishing out health tips via her serpent, a symbol sewn into the fabric of healing arts. But there was always a delicately implied dual nature; that which heals can also harm, slyly nodding to the serpent's venom—perhaps healthcare's earliest message on prescription responsibility!\nThe classic sculptural view shows our goddess in calm command: serene expression, the chalice delicately balanced. Fast-forward through history, and we land into a panorama where medical iconography gets a graphically designed makeover but hangs onto threads of the past. What you see in hospitals and on ambulances, from the ubiquitous spooled snakes to the very pictorial depiction resembling a goblet or bowl, whispers back millennia to Hygeia's eternal symbol kit.\nTake for instance, the WHO (World Health Organization) emblem. Though it hangs classy with a global map, embedded within its spirals are serpentine references—and not because it's trying to revive ancient pet styles but because these signify the bedrock of medicinal practice cascading from dear Hygeia's era. Adorning board rooms or tranquil corridors of medical establishments today are reinterpretations of that same healing narrative, just generously dipped in more contemporary ink.\nIn galleries around the globe, alongside being enshrined at museums quintessentially echoing high art, Hygeia's vibe crafts itself onto massive canvases. Paintings depicting our venerable health maestro strive to radiate preventive care—that not so sexy but essentially worthy embodiment of health championed by ancient and modern healers alike. Every stroke and hue blended onto the canvas strengthens—much like reviving classics with witty reboots; timeless yet trending!\nPonder upon this, even conceptual modern installations flirt occasionally with abstract notions of Hygeia. Training surgical lights on alt-modal portrayals like they were negotiating health pacts akin to Hygieanism, a proven spin on Athenian utilities swearing by cleanliness next to godliness.\nPatched into the programming scripts of our daily lives, nearly every beat around medical motivations, the omnipresent pharmacy symbols, healing logos, and even scrub-wearing professionals reek of ancient deification. Though not exactly tearing our robes and throwing golden coins to her shrine, we nod ceremonially towards Hygeia—tying health management's umbilical cord with art through ever replaying cycles of interpretation and representation. How's that for laying low but keeping display levels haute in modern pseudo-pantheons?\nAround gallery nooks sneaking past modern chirps where conceptual depictions dance, hints upon subliminal culture drapes probably overlooked amidst news jam sessions pulsing immersive narrative theatrics; call it Hygieism lost and found in technicolored prints if you want—she's unmistakably immortal in SPQR-styled fonts bridging wavelengths between whispers of ER spectacles and beacons secured upon antiseptic-loaded corridors.\nThus in our everyday mediation through medical means, she swirls factually forensic over horizons flipping urgency into action through age-old principles still fresh with relevance. Hygeia's artistic heartbeat echoes strong, weaving itself into the very DNA of global healthcare philosophies.\nIn the grand tapestry of Greek mythology, Hygeia is not just a deity tucked away in the annals of ancient texts; she is a vibrant force advocating for preventative care and cleanliness. Her legacy, symbolized by the serpent and chalice, remains a potent reminder of the foundational role of hygiene in fostering long-term health. As we navigate our contemporary health challenges, Hygeia's principles offer a beacon of wisdom, emphasizing that prevention is not just better but often easier than cure.\n- Atsma AJ. Hygeia.

How much pain that individual is going through is up for debate, however, it is probably enough to get him or her into the surgeon’s office for this x-ray.\nAnd you can see the deformity with the lower leg as well, classic total knee replacement candidate.\nThat looks like a painful knee to me.\nIf you have some cartilage to work with in your knee, for instance, many surgeons may recommend a series of injections to help build up your joint space in your knee with a gel type substance.\nIn some cases, this may buy you some time to help prolong surgery and in some cases, it may not. I have witnessed both ends of the scale with previous patients and clients. Some have felt much better, some it did not help at all.\nI went through this same process many years ago with one knee and at the time I was strictly bone on bone, in other words, there was nothing left for me to do but get my knee replaced due to the extreme amount of pain I was in along with the obvious knee deformity I had due to the lack of supporting cartilage in my knee.\nGenerally, the driving factor in the overall decision will between you and your surgeon and the amount of pain you are currently having to endure and how it is affecting your overall quality of life.\nThat only you will know. I have for instance a left knee that is bone on bone right now, the pain tends to come and go however it is getting to the point where it has started to affect my quality of life, therefore, I will not tolerate dragging my leg around another year.\nA total knee replacement wil be in order.\nEveryone is different when it comes to pain and how they function, just because a knee is bone on bone, for instance, does not necessarily mean that you are ready for surgery. It will depend on the pain level.\nMyself and of course your surgeon has seen knees that look like they have been through a grinder along with being bone on bone, however, the patient is really not complaining of severe pain at this time so they hold off on the surgery.\nOthers have had a total knee replacement and if you look at their knee in an x-ray it does not appear all that bad, you will see some changes in structure but it has come to a point with the patient that the pain day in and day out has become too much.\nSo the bottom line here is you are really only the one to know when it is time for a total knee replacement. And of course, if you want to consider having this operation or need more information always get another medical opinion.\nIf two orthopedic surgeons recommend you have the surgery due to your complaints then there is no need to hold off to the point you have to come into the hospital or outpatient center in a wheelchair, just get it done!\nIf you have any questions or comments either leave a comment below or you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.org and I will be glad to give you a reply to your questions.\nMake a decision by getting informed and talking with your orthopedic surgeon and a physical therapist in how to prepare yourself physically and mentally once the decision is made.\nRichard Haynes PTA, CPT\nTotal Joint Fitness LLC", "domain": "health"}

We make decisions, think and act with our conscious mind. The sub-conscious mind is the storehouse of all memory and events that may shape thoughts and behaviors we would like to change, but find it difficult or impossible.\nIn the deeply relaxed state known as hypnosis, we communicate directly with the sub-conscious mind. This is why it is so effective for changing habits of a lifetime with hypnosis.\nWILL HYPNOTHERAPY WORK FOR ME?\nEvery normal person is \"hypnotizable\" (that is, people with an IQ of at least 70 and no severe mental disorders). Therefore, virtually anyone can achieve successful results using hypnosis.\nHOW WILL I KNOW IF I AM HYPNOTIZED?\nMost people can't tell the difference between the hypnotized and the waking states. Some people feel deeply relaxed and peaceful, others report feelings of floating or a lightness. The one thing that people do notice is the change in thought patterns or behaviors after hypnotherapy.\nIS HYPNOTHERAPY SAFE?\nHypnotherapy is completely safe. Clinical hypnotherapy was approved by the American Medical Association and The British Medical Association back in the 1950's. You are aware and in control at every moment and can terminate the session at any time. Hypnosis is not sleep or mind control. You cannot be made to do anything against your will!

We are supposed to fill in the blanks for, “If I didn’t laugh about _________ then I would ________. “ My first thought was that this will be easy. I have a sense of humor, so this will be a fun one to write. Then I started trying to fill in the blanks and I thought this is not as easy as I thought it would be.\nDiabetes. What can I say about it that you don’t already know! It is a pain in the you know what. It is expensive, even with good insurance. If you don’t take the right amount of insulin, your blood sugar can be whacky. If you do take the right amount of insulin, your blood sugar can still be whacky. Get stressed out, your blood sugar might go up. Go to the mall, your blood sugar might go down. The weather changes, who knows what will happen to your blood sugar. Sometimes you have to eat whether you are hungry or not. It interrupts your sleep and could care less that you have an important meeting at work the next day and need to be at your best. That is just another day in the life with diabetes and I still have to fill in those blanks!\nI thought about using my walker to fill in the blanks. I use a walker because of the neuropathy. I go out and turn a lot of heads when people see someone that is not 80 years old walking with a walker. OK, maybe not the best reason to turn heads, but I can turn heads! A lot of people ask if I had a hip or knee replacement. As I started writing this, it dawned on me what I could say. My foot! How many people have dead people in their foot!\nOn Friday, March 10, 2006, I had surgery on my foot to remove a lot of the bone because of the infection I had. At that point, I had already been dealing with my foot for a year. It was the scariest day of my life. Prior to going into surgery, my surgeon called me a challenge. Besides having the infection, I had also broken my foot. He was not sure what would happen until he actually opened up my foot. He explained it to me as taking the guts out of your car and just having the frame left – I had the shell of the bone left in my heel. The plan was to have a second surgery to remove the antibiotic beads that he put in my foot during the first surgery. Once they knew for sure the infection was gone, I would have a third surgery for a bone graft.\nAfter I came home from the hospital, my cousin Judy called me. During the conversation, she mentioned she had talked to my brother Rick who was at the hospital the day of my first surgery. Rick told Judy that they might be using cadaver bones for the bone graft. After I talked to my cousin, I called my sister and confirmed what my cousin told me. That did not go over very well with me because I have an issue with dead people and the thought of having someone else’s bones in my body was not something I wanted to think about.\nI had the bone graft surgery in May. My brother-in-law drew the short stick and took me to Pittsburgh for my appointment when they scheduled the surgery. He wanted to ask what they were going to put in my foot and I wouldn’t let him. I didn’t want to know. I figured I had a 50/50 chance of it being something synthetic in my foot.\nSeveral times after I had the bone graft surgery, my doctor had a resident with him and he would explain what he did to my foot. He seemed careful not to say what was in my foot. I was now convinced it was cadaver bones.\nIn February, 2007, I saw my doctor’s partner for one of my appointments because my doctor was sick. The partner told me that he had actually assisted with my surgery. I knew that my doctor had taken the MRIs I brought with me back to his office to come up with a plan and he had reviewed them with his partner, but I did not know until that day that the partner had actually assisted with the surgery. He also told me that they had used a new material in my foot. If it was a new material, it couldn’t be cadaver bones, right!\nI decided to get records from the hospital so I could find out what was in my foot. I had already been told not to let anyone do anything too fast with my foot. I thought I should know what is in there and if it was synthetic, I was safe to get the records. Wrong! They used something called AlloMatrix in my foot. It has a kind of putty in to hold the cadaver bones in place. The putty part is what was new. I had dead people in my foot!\nIt was about a year after I had the bone graft surgery until I got the records, so by then, I knew that there was nothing “bad” about having cadaver bones in my foot. Now, I blame everything that goes wrong on the dead people in my foot though.\n“This post is my September entry in the DSMA Blog Carnival.

Beyond the realm of entertainment, sports play a crucial role in shaping individuals, fostering social connections, and driving positive change within communities. In this article, we delve into the multifaceted impact of sports and their ability to transform lives and build bridges across diverse populations.\nAt its core, sports serve as a vehicle for personal growth and development. Through participation in sports activities, individuals acquire valuable life skills such as teamwork, resilience, and leadership. Whether competing on the field or supporting teammates from the sidelines, athletes learn the importance of discipline, perseverance, and determination. These qualities not only contribute to success in sports but also translate into success in academics, careers, and personal relationships.\nMoreover, sports have a profound impact on physical health and well-being. Engaging in regular physical activity through sports helps individuals maintain a healthy weight, improve cardiovascular fitness, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Additionally, sports promote mental well-being by reducing stress, anxiety, and depression, and fostering a sense of accomplishment and self-confidence.\nBeyond their individual benefits, sports serve as a catalyst for Xoilac 8 social cohesion and community building. Sporting events bring people together, regardless of background or identity, to share in the excitement and passion of competition. Whether it’s cheering for a local team or supporting national athletes on the global stage, sports create opportunities for individuals to connect with one another, forge friendships, and build a sense of belonging within their communities.\nFurthermore, sports have the power to break down barriers and promote social inclusion. Through initiatives such as adaptive sports programs and outreach efforts targeting marginalized populations, sports provide opportunities for individuals with disabilities, socio-economic disadvantages, or other barriers to participation to experience the benefits of physical activity and sportsmanship. By creating inclusive environments and celebrating diversity, sports foster empathy, understanding, and respect among participants and spectators alike.\nIn addition to their social and personal benefits, sports have significant economic implications, driving growth and prosperity in local economies. Major sporting events attract tourists, generate revenue for businesses, and create jobs in hospitality, tourism, and related industries. Moreover, sports-related businesses such as apparel, equipment, and media contribute to economic development and innovation, furthering the overall well-being of communities.\nIn conclusion, sports are a powerful force for positive change, uniting individuals, promoting health and well-being, and fostering social connections within communities. By cultivating essential life skills, promoting physical fitness, and creating opportunities for inclusion and diversity, sports have the power to transform lives and build bridges across diverse populations. As we continue to celebrate the power of sports to inspire, unite, and uplift, let us strive to harness their potential for good and create a more inclusive, equitable, and vibrant world for all.", "domain": "health"}

It reduces stress. It helps ease chronic back pain and arthritis symptoms. It can lift your mood and boost your energy. It can even help you sleep better. All this, plus you already have the necessary equipment to start this amazingly simple (and enjoyable) fitness regimen: your body.\n“It” is yoga, an ancient group of physical, mental and spiritual practices that in a busy, stressful world can do you a world of good. Yoga exercises are good for both body and mind—and, experts say, good for your spirit as well.\nBut wait. Isn’t yoga for the young? Don’t you already have to be in somewhat-good shape to do all those yoga poses, like sitting cross-legged on the floor (the lotus position) or the tree pose, where you stand on one foot with your arms raised over your head?\nBenefits of yoga for seniors\nFear not. There are many varieties of yoga, ranging from gentle to vigorous and from using only your body to posing and moving with the aid of a chair or other props. (In fact, doing yoga while sitting, called seated or chair yoga, is a great option for those with limited mobility.) In short, older adults have many options when it comes to yoga. And the benefits are many, including being better able to enjoy an active lifestyle and connecting with a community of peers who, like you, are invested in improving their physical, mental and emotional health as they age.\nWe humans tend to lose muscle tone and our bones grow weaker as we age. Yet our bodies respond to exercise at any age, and even gentle yoga can help you build muscle and bone strength Even if you haven’t been to the gym in ages, yoga can help you ease back into a fitness routine. Your brain and body have worked hard all these years. Now it’s time to repay them—and you—with the mind-body benefits of yoga.\nHow does yoga work, exactly?\nYoga increases flexibility and mental clarity through movement and meditation. Flexibility comes from various gentle stretching movements while focusing on breathing, which also enhances your physiological well-being. During yoga, while some muscles contract to allow movement, others are relaxing and lengthening to allow that movement. Stretching like this over a period of time allows the muscles to become more pliable and flexible, increasing movement patterns within your joints. Ultimately, stretching and breathing increase physical flexibility while improving overall health.\nNow that you know more about how good for you yoga can be, here some basic yoga poses for seniors you can try right now:\nTree pose. Stand with legs together and your arms raised, palms folded together. Raise your right foot enough to touch your heel to your left ankle but with your toes still touching the ground. (Use a chair if needed.) Hold for 20-30 seconds and repeat with your left foot. As you gain confidence holding your balance, try raising either foot off the ground enough to touch heel to the inside of the lower leg and hold for 20-30 seconds.\nLeg climb. Sit on the floor with one side of your body against a wall. Lower your back so it is resting on the floor. Lift your legs up the wall, “climbing” until the backs of your legs are flat against the wall. If you can’t get them flat, try shifting your body away from the wall a few inches at a time. Hold for 30-60 seconds, then slowly lower your legs to the floor.\nCat-cow chair stretch. This pose gives you the benefits of the well-known cat-cow stretch without having to get down on the floor. Sitting straight up in a chair, inhale as you push your back against the back of the chair, drawing your navel toward your spine as you do so. (Think of a cat stretching.) Then, exhaling, push your stomach forward while arching your spine away from the back of the chair. Hold each pose for 10-15 seconds.\nThe other piece: meditation\nBecause your mind and body are so connected, yoga works on both. The practice of meditation or dhyana in yoga helps create mental stillness, allowing an individual to be at peace with their mind, body and spirit. There are several different ways to meditate in yoga, such as visualizing, gazing, breathing, or physical sensations (hot/cold temperatures):\n- Visualizing requires one to picture in one’s mind a peaceful object or channel, such as a god or goddess, flower, or a particular chakra (energy center).\n- Gazing is a different form of imagery that uses an open-eye focus on an object, such as a flower, candle flame or painting. (Gazing may be performed with both eyes open or one eye closed.)\n- Breathing in meditation is performed by focusing on the rise and fall of one’s chest, breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth.\n- Physical sensation is similar to focusing deeply on breathing; however, it is redirected to a sensation such as the temperature of your lips or nose, strengthening in your spine, or even observing an emotion.\nAn easy way to combine poses and meditation is to remember to inhale and exhale, gently but deeply, as you maneuver into a pose or as you hold it. Try to keep to a steady rhythm of breathing in and breathing out. Before long, you won’t even notice you’re doing it—but your body will, and it will thank you by growing healthier.\nReady to give yoga a try?

They include Disney Genius and nurse, Sue Mickelson; Mike Tuchman, a Disney Cast Member, long-time diabetic and Disney expert; and Kevin Keen who is an 18 year old type 1 diabetic and Annual Passholder. A big thank you goes out to all of them!\nRemember that we’re not doctors, and you should discuss your trip to Disney with your doctor to get specific recommendations. Check out this site’s disclaimer before reading this article.\nNow let’s take a look at some tips, information and insights that can help you have an awesome time and stay healthy while your’e visiting Disney World:\n1. Wear or carry some kind of health alert identification while at Disney World.\nThis would include medical jewelry such as a Medic Alert bracelet or necklace that identifies that you’re diabetic. Medic Alert stores your health information so it can be accessed quickly in an emergency situation.\n2. Plan in advance for how you’ll manage your medication and equipment while at Disney World.\nHere are some things to know:\n- Always label your equipment, and include your contact information on it, including your cell phone.\n- Wherever you are on Disney property, don’t leave your medical supplies in an ECV or stroller. In the parks, keep them in a bag that you can easily take on the rides with you.\n- Read the Managing Medication & Medical Supplies While at Disney World article here. You’ll find extensive info on how to manage your medications and equipment as you travel to Disney World, and once you’re in the parks and resorts.\n- Bring a lot more than you need. Your needs may change, you might lose something, your stay might be unexpectedly extended, etc. It’s better to have too much than too little.\n- Bring extra batteries for your pumps and meters.\n3. First Aid stations in the parks are a great place to handle your health needs.\nEach park has a First Aid location. They offer a private place for you to test your blood sugar, take insulin shots and manage your insulin pump. You may want to store your medication there also, but read below to see other options that may be more convenient. First Aid has a sharps container available, although you’re responsible for bringing your own syringes. Read more about First Aid Stations in the Disney World Parks here.\n“If you need a place to check or change your pump I wouldn’t go to the first aid station, experience has taught us it takes 3x longer than asking a Disney employee if we can use a corner in a store. They will stand in front of you facing away to guide others away from you. We love Disney! …I don’t have any idea if it’s policy but it has happened to us twice. Could be just amazing people!” —Terri Ray Schurman\n4. Keeping your medication cool can be done in a couple ways.\nAlthough you can have insulin and other medication refrigerated at the First Aid stations in the parks, you may find it inconvenient to keep going back to that location. An alternative is to bring a small cool pack so that you can carry it with you, however on really piping hot days, it may be safer to use the refrigeration in the First Aid Station.\nFor cool packs, one of our Disney guide book contributors, Mike Tuchman, recommends the Frio Insulin Cooling Wallet. He says that they’ll keep your insulin at insulin-safe temperatures in over 100 degree weather for about two days. They recharge with plain water. He owns two of these and thinks they’re great for Disney.\nThere are several other small insulin cooling cases available on Amazon (and throughout the web) that appear to have good user reviews. For example the Fridge-To-Go Portable Insulated Medical Travel Cooler Case. Just search Amazon or google with the term “insulin cooling case” or something similar to find various options.\nIn the resorts, all Disney rooms have at least a mini-refrigerator. At times when we’ve arrived we found the temperature to be on the warm side. Sometimes this is just because housekeeping cleaned it before we came, and they had the refrigerator door open while cleaning. If yours doesn’t cool up quickly, contact the front desk and let them know. They can send someone over to either adjust the temperature or switch out the refrigerator. If you need it, Disney can store your medications for you in a refrigerator until yours is ready to be used.\nBy the way, you can also request a container for sharps from Disney housekeeping.\n5. Your insulin needs may change at Disney World, so plan in advance.\nDiscuss the possibility that your medication needs may change during your tip with your doctor prior to your visit. Request strategies for managing your medication with him/her.\nWhile at Disney, and especially when you’re in the parks and Disney Springs, pay extra attention and look for signs of changes in blood sugar. Consider testing your blood sugar level more frequently than you normally would. Since you’ll be testing more, be sure to bring extra blood testing supplies.If you make changes to your normal dosage, check both before and after to make certain it’s the appropriate dose.\nHere are some things to consider as you determine your medication needs:\n- Exercise can reduce your insulin needs – The Disney parks are HUGE, and if you’re walking rather than riding in a wheelchair, you’ll be walking miles. Remember that your insulin requirements may go down from the exercise.\n- Heat can affect your insulin needs – Florida has plenty of heat! The summer months are brutally hot, but you can experience warm days throughout the year. The heat can be magnified when you’re walking in sunny areas throughout the parks, or waiting in the sun in an unprotected queue. Read the article called Managing Sun & Heat Sensitivity While at Disney World here.\n- Adrenaline can affect your insulin needs – At Disney you’re likely to produce more adrenaline than normal because of all the excitement. Thrill rides will especially cause a huge increase in adrenaline.\n- Diet can affect your insulin needs – Chances are that you’ll be eating at least a little differently than\nyou do at home. Of course we recommend that you control your diet carefully, but there’s temptation everywhere! If you give in once in a while, you may need to account for that with your medication dosing. (Is it wrong to show you the photo on the right? I couldn’t resist – sorry!)\n6. Insulin pump tips:\nElectromagnets – Some pumps recommend that you disconnect them on rides that use powerful electromagnets as well as on rides that create high gravity forces such as roller coasters. Check the manual for your pump and talk with your doctor before traveling. We hear that some manufacturers won’t honor the warranty if you’ve worn your pump on a roller coaster ride, so if this is not addressed in your manual, you may want to call your manufacturer to get their policy for your pump.\nAccording to our last check with Disney’s Services for Guests with Disabilities, on the rides you should not experience electromagnets that are higher than you would experience in everyday life. They’ve done tests and feel that the magnets are far enough away from the guests to not be of concern. If you still want to disconnect on the rides that use them, I was told that the Cast Member Hosts at each attraction should be able to tell you if magnets are in use there.\nTurbulence on Rides – Disney’s Services for Guests with Disabilities warns that on many of their rides you’ll experience high turbulence. These rides are considered “Big Thrill Rides” and post warnings at the ride entrance. You can always talk to the cast member at the entrance to the ride if you have questions about the level of thrill, but we suggest that you take the posted warnings seriously. If you choose to take it on turbulent rides, be sure to take the precautions recommended by your pump’s manufacturer, and always make sure your pump is secured.\nWet rides – If your pump is not waterproof, be sure to protect it before going on rides that splash guests.\nContributor 18 year old Kevin Keen wears an insulin pump when he visits Disney. It’s waterproof, so he’s able to go on any of the wet rides such as Splash Mountain in Magic Kingdom. He’s also able to go on turbulent rides and roller coasters with no problem. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, which turns you upside down, is one of his favorite rides. He just disconnects and secures his pump to make sure it won’t fall during the ride. According to Kevin, none of the rides have adversely impacted his insulin pump.\n7. Avoid Dehydration.\nDehydration is more common in people with diabetes, even when warm temperatures are not a factor. Spending an entire day at the parks, especially in warm weather, makes the risk of dehydration even greater than normal. Be sure to keep hydrated, take breaks in an air conditioned environment, and check your blood sugar regularly.\nTo reduce your expenses, bring water with you to Disney, or use a delivery service to have water brought to your hotel. Gardengrocer.com is popular. You can also get free water at any Disney soda fountain. All of the counter-service restaurants will give you free cups of ice water.\nYou’ll also want to watch your electrolytes: Here’s a tip from one of my facebook group members:\n“The parks do not carry sugar free Powerade. If I am sweating a lot and need to replace my electrolytes, I eat a fresh pickle to replace what is lost without having to ingest sugar. You can also bring Crystal Light packs with you to use in bottled water.” —Casey Niedermairer Clark\nYou can also bring your own sugar-free electrolyte drinks into the parks as long as they’re not in glass bottles. We purchase Nuun Active Hydrating Electrolyte Tablets on Amazon. They’re easier to carry than bottles, taste good, and they’re low calorie, low carb, low sugar, with no artificial flavors or colors. They use plant-based sweeteners, and they’re certified gluten free, vegan, soy and dairy free.\n8. Strategies for your diet.\nShould you stick to your diet? Absolutely – Maintain your regular diet as much as possible. I and all our contributors agree that it’s really important to maintain a healthy diet while at Disney World. There are so many options and so much support at Disney that it’s very possible to keep your special diet while at Disney, and it’s best to maintain the diet that you’ve found works for you.\nAlthough diabetics can adjust their medication for increased amounts of sugar and carbs, sticking to healthier eating to guard your long term health is wise. Also blood sugar problems can arise if you’re not careful, and it would be a wasted day to end up sick in the park. Despite the many food temptations at Disney, it’s best to avoid giving in. If you must give in, keep it to a minimum, and be sure to compensate with your medications.\nPersonally I (Stephen Ashley) control my blood sugar with diet and supplements. I’ve found that it takes some self control not to go hog-wild with all the tempting treats available. However with all the miles I walk there, I find that I’m able to indulge in an occasional treat without experiencing any problems. Whether you can indulge or not, and how much wiggle room you have, should be discussed with your doctor prior to your trip.\nHere are some other diet tips:\nScheduling your meals: The American Diabetic Association recommends that diabetics should always try to stick to a regular eating schedule. While at Disney, try to eat meals and snacks at your regularly scheduled times to keep your blood sugar even.\nCounting Carbohydrates and sugar grams – Disney restaurants won’t be able to give you carbohydrate counts. If you must count carbohydrates, you should be able to see an ingredients list. You may wish to bring a carb count guide so that you can estimate.\nAvoid sugar and refined carbohydrates – Those with blood sugar disorders should usually try to avoid sugar and refined carbohydrates such as white bread, potatoes and cake. If you feel you must indulge and you’re not sure how that will impact your medical condition, speak with your doctor about it prior to your trip. Once at Disney, monitor your blood sugar if this is something you must watch, and modify your medication per your doctor’s prescription guidelines.\nPick your cheats (if it’s allowed by your doctor) – If you do plan on including refined carbohydrates and sugar during your visit (make sure it’s approved by your doctor), try to keep this to a minimum and plan to eat healthy as much as possible. Pick your “cheats” carefully so it’s worth it. An occasional indulgence is better than an unhealthy non-stop junk food strategy. If you do eat sugar and refined carbohydrates, try to eat them along with some protein and healthy fat such as the kind found in nuts or seeds. This can help keep your blood sugar more even.\nBring healthy snacks – It’s a good idea to carry your own healthy snacks such as protein bars. If you’re a chocolate lover, a good high protein low sugar bar can help you stick to your eating plan and solve cravings.\nSometimes snack locations and restaurants open later and close earlier than the actual parks hours, so you may not always have easy access to food. You may also spend time somewhere in the park that doesn’t have easy access to food, such as in an attraction queue. Keep a snack or drink handy in case your blood sugar drops and you’re not able to access food immediately.\nFull Service Restaurants can really work with you. You can request that the chef or manager come out and talk to you about your options at all full-service Disney-owned and most non-Disney-owned restaurants on Disney World property. At Counter-service restaurants a manager can come talk with you, and they can show you the ingredients book, but there’s usually a lot less flexibility. However Disney tries to make healthy choices available at almost every restaurant location, so you should be able to stick to your diet wherever you go.\nAdults ordering from the kid’s menus: In the Disney counter service restaurants and some of the full service restaurants, this is allowed. This allows you to choose kid sized portions. When it comes to full-service restaurants, the policy may vary from place to place. In some it may not be allowed.\n9. Avoid and handle blood sugar drops.\nDisney is infamous for long lines and waits, even at the counter-service restaurants. I strongly advise that you keep yourself from getting into an emergency situation by planning and carrying what you may need. If low blood sugar is an issue, carry items that will raise it quickly such as glucose tablets or juice boxes.\nIf you need help, don’t hesitate to ask for it. If you or a member of your party is experiencing low blood sugar, you should let a cast member know immediately. Tell them what you need. Here’s an experience Disney Cast Member Mike Tuchman shared:\n“A few years ago I was in one of the parks with some friends and one started to have a sugar low. I just went to the closest outdoor vending cart, ignored the line, and told the person I needed Powerade right now for a guest with diabetes and did not even have to pay for it.”\n10. Be careful with sugar-free or no-sugar-added options.\nThere are also a lot of sugar-free options throughout the parks, Disney Springs and the resorts, but you’ll want to be careful with that. Consider that:\n- Sugar-free foods often have a lot of carbohydrates. Maintaining blood sugar often requires watching both carbs and sugar.\n- No-sugar-added food can still have plenty of sugar grams and carbohydrates.\n- Some alternative sweeteners have side effects such as bowel issues, so be cautious and choose your food wisely.\nHere’s an issue one Disney visitor had:\n“We went to a movie in the Downtown Disney theater. Right nearby is a candy shop that had sugar-free chocolates (Candy Cauldron). We bought maybe 4 pieces each and ate them during the movie. Oh my gosh… we both got really bad cramps and stomach problems. The rest of the night was shot. It so wasn’t worth eating that chocolate.”\nThat’s not fun. Everyone is different so it may not bother you at all. For me, some sugar-free items tend to cause stomach problems and some don’t. It simply depends on what it’s sweetened with, and the quantity of sweetener. Since it’s difficult to know in advance which things will cause a problem, I tend to stick to small amounts of these treats.\nIf you’re trying something sugar-free for the first time, use caution. You may want to try a couple of bites and if possible, take the rest back to your hotel with you. If you’re fine, you can more later or the next day.\nMore Tips for handling diabetes at Disney World from Facebook Group Members (Disney family)!\nWe have a wonderful Facebook group called Walt Disney World Made Easy for Everyone. Many of them love to share tips and answer questions. Here are a few of the tips that were shared so far. Please feel free to share your own tips in the comment section below.\n“My granddaughter has type 1 and carries her insulin with her everywhere. It has never been a problem at Disney. She is 16 and very self conscious about it. She tries to count carbs and sugar content. Sit down restaurants have been most helpful regarding this. The chef comes to our table to help her choose wisely.” — Cherry Hathaway Bertles\n“I’m diabetic but well controlled with medication. I live local but often spend weekends in Disney. My numbers stay good with all the walking I do at the parks. I drink lots of water and avoid sugary drinks unless I need them. I find between avoiding sugary snacks and drinking water along with the walking I can splurge a little with a treat within moderation.” — Casey Niedermaier Clark\n“Many of the restaurants have No Sugar Added desserts. Another dessert I can tolerate without a lot of issues are the Flourless Chocolate desserts. Mention it in the notes when making ADRs – and ask to speak to the chef once you are there. Many of them can address specific needs or suggest alternatives.” — Ed Russel\n“…I always give myself a certain amount of sugar to use, and choose what’s really important to me – like a Dole Whip! And I’m careful of carbs. Otherwise, no problems!” — Angela Rogers McCort\n“… Remember you can order off the kids menu. Really helpful in some places that have healthy kids meals instead of the usual burger, chicken nuggets & fries. I have less than 1/2 a stomach so I eat off the kids menu. If I don’t want the veggie offered I’ll see what is available from the adult sides I may like. At Kona Cafe I always substitute their pear slaw as a side during lunch instead of the green beans. Goes so great with the kid’s grilled shrimp. It’s my little treat. Love the children’s grilled chicken breast sandwich at Flame Tree in Animal Kingdom. It’s always huge… drop the bread and eat it that way. Really look into the healthy Mickey Check Meals for kids. If I don’t order kid’s, hubby (who is diabetic) and I often share and just get an extra side.” —Linda Herman\nHave you or someone in your travel party managed diabetes at Disney World?

It's essential to keep in mind that preventive care and timely treatment for any emerging dental issues not only helps to ensure ongoing oral health but also supports overall well-being, and contributes to a positive self-image.\nYou can rest assured that your child's smile is in the best of hands at our office! We provide gentle and precise care in an environment that's comfortable, warm, and engaging. At the office of East Meadow Dental Associates, we offer a comprehensive range of dental services designed to address the dental needs of children of all ages. Whether it's your little one's first trip to the dentist, a routine visit, treatment for a dental emergency, or more, we're well equipped to provide the care that's needed.\nWe take a proactive approach and emphasize the importance of dental prevention as the key to good oral health. We provide you and your child with the resources as well as the tools to establish an effective brushing and flossing routine and offer nutritional guidance and advice on potentially harmful oral habits. Our entire team strives to make each visit with your child a positive, informative, and beneficial experience.\nStudies show that children and teens lose an estimated 51 million school hours each year to dental problems. To help your child maintain optimal oral health and a smile that's healthy and bright, we recommend dental checkups and cleanings twice a year.\nAs skilled and compassionate providers of care, we understand all aspects of dental development and are sensitive to the unique needs of children. At each periodic exam, a member of our professional team will review your child's medical and dental history and then perform a thorough clinical assessment of the teeth, gums, jaws, and the surrounding oral tissues. We'll also check your child's bite, jaw alignment, and function.\nBecause it's vital to see what's going on below the surface, we'll take digital radiographs as needed, to check for the presence of any cavities, or infection and to evaluate the position of your child's developing teeth and the health of jaw bone. We'll also perform a professional dental cleaning to eliminate any plaque or debris that has accumulated between the teeth or in hard to reach places.\nAt every stage of your child's development, we'll advise you on the most effective methods of keeping his or her teeth clean and discuss the foods, beverages, and harmful oral habits that can lead to problems. While it can be difficult sometimes to get children into a regular oral hygiene routine, we'll give you tips and advice on how to make brushing and flossing a fun part of their daily activities. As your trusted partner you can rely on the office of East Meadow Dental Associates to keep a close watch on your child's oral health and development.\nEstablishing a dental partnership when your child is small\nKeeping your baby's and toddler's teeth clean\nNot allowing your baby to sleep with a bottle of milk or juice.\nBringing your child to the dentist for routine checkups and care\nLeading by example and encouraging the recommended tooth brushing and flossing routine\nPromoting wise dietary choices and healthy snacking, including replacing sugary drinks with water and limiting sweets\nProviding supportive guidance to help your child put away their pacifier and stop thumb or finger sucking at the appropriate time\nMaking sure your child wears a mouthguard when playing specific sports\nEven before your child is born, your little one's first set of teeth is already forming. As a matter of fact, by the time your baby is a year old, some of the front teeth will have already emerged into place. For this reason, it's essential to establish an oral care routine at an early age. As per the recommendations of the American Dental Association and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, parents are encouraged to have their baby see the dentist around the time of their first birthday.\nChildhood is a time of incredible physical and emotional changes. As kids go through several stages of development, so do their teeth. Many things, including both genetic and environmental factors, contribute to the health and appearance of your child's smile. While some issues cannot be prevented, there's still a lot you can do to help ensure your child experiences optimal oral health and develops an attractive, functional smile. Our office will make sure your children are instructed in the best methods for caring for their teeth and will provide them with useful, age-appropriate information on following a healthy diet as well as make them aware of which oral habits and activities may be harmful to their teeth and overall well being.\nIn addition to checking for the presence of dental disease, we also monitor your child's facial growth, jaw development, and alignment of their smile. If orthodontic treatment is indicated, we'll advise you of our recommendations for care. Since many children and teens wear braces, paying extra attention to what they eat and how they maintain their oral hygiene is of the utmost importance.\nBeyond good oral hygiene and routine dental care, a balanced, nutritious diet is essential for a healthy smile in a growing child. Sticky, sugary foods and drinks are not only harmful to children's oral health but also detrimental to their overall well-being. A diet rich in nutrients is critical for optimal growth and development and keeping the teeth and gums strong.\nA baby's first teeth begin to appear in the 6 to 12-month range. Typically, it's the two lower front ones that appear first. The baby teeth come into place from the front of the mouth and then on to the back. With that said, most children will get all of their baby teeth by the time they are three.\nFor babies with new teeth just emerging, we may recommend just a washcloth or infant toothbrush to start. As your baby grows and more teeth come into place, an age-appropriate soft bristled brush, and a tiny dab of toothpaste will be recommended. One word of caution; be careful that your child does not swallow the dab of toothpaste. When your child gets older, we will teach him or her more about the responsibilities of self-care and oral hygiene.\nWhile getting teeth is an important milestone in a baby's development, it's essential to be aware that teething can make a baby quite irritable. Your little one may act fussy, have trouble sleeping, avoid eating, and drool quite a bit. While you are powerless to speed up the process of teething, there are a few things that you can do to soothe your baby as their new teeth are erupting into place. Common approaches to helping your baby feel more comfortable while getting their new teeth include safe teething rings, a cold spoon, or a moist gauze rubbed over their gums. Remember, you can always call our office if you have any concerns.\nThe first set of teeth not only makes it possible for your baby to smile, eat, and speak, but they also play the critical role of serving as placeholders for the permanent teeth. Losing a baby tooth too early can potentially result in a misaligned smile.\nWhen caring for your child's smile, it's important to remember that baby teeth are just as susceptible as the permanent teeth to decay. In fact, more than 50% of children develop cavities before the age of five. Not only does tooth decay pose a risk to the health of the involved baby teeth, but untreated cavities can also have consequences for your child's overall well-being and the permanent teeth that are yet to come into place.\nBaby bottle syndrome, which is also known as nursing bottle syndrome, refers to the rampant tooth decay that results from babies sleeping with a bottle containing milk or juice. While the damage is most prevalent in the front teeth of the upper jaw, extensive dental work is typically required to restore the toddler's oral health and prevent infections. New parents are advised not to let their baby sleep with a bottle or at least swap the juice or milk for water.\nSome children persist in sucking their thumbs or fingers beyond their preschool years. For these children, the activity continues to be a source of comfort, relaxation, and security. It may even help them fall asleep at night. However, it's essential to be aware that in the long-term, a finger sucking habit is not healthy.\nIf your child is still thumb or finger sucking by the age of five or six years, it's time to constructively help them stop the habit. If it has caused any alterations to the alignment of the teeth or jaws, or if it is affecting your child's speech or swallowing patterns, it's likely your child requires orthodontic care.\nThe American Dental Association advises parents to bring their kids in for a routine checkup and preventive care once every six months. At this time, our dentist will examine the teeth, gums, and jaws to assess your child's overall dental health and development. Your child will also have a dental cleaning performed in addition to receiving age-appropriate oral hygiene instructions and nutritional guidance. If any emerging issues are detected, our office will provide the treatment required to address these problems early in their onset.\nAt the office of East Meadow Dental Associates, we take pride in providing gentle, compassionate care in an environment that is designed with comfort in mind. However, every child is different. While for some children, a trip to the dentist is taken in stride; for others, it can present challenges and produce significant anxiety. If your child is apprehensive, has a medical condition, special needs, or difficulty sitting in a dental chair, we can discuss the best choices for the provision of care and options in dental sedation.\nHelping your child start the school year on the right foot not only means getting the correct school supplies, but it also involves making sure your child is in the best of health. One key to avoiding setbacks during the academic year is to make sure your child's smile is in tip-top shape! At the office of East Meadow Dental Associates, we specialize in addressing the dental needs of children as well as helping them establish a strong foundation for a lifetime of optimal oral health.\nCavities develop when plaque is not consistently removed from around the teeth and gums. Due to inadequate oral hygiene practices and dietary habits, children are especially prone to developing cavities. As an added level of protection against tooth decay in children, our office typically recommends periodic fluoride treatments and dental sealants.\nSometimes, due to tooth decay or a traumatic injury, a child may lose a primary tooth early, before the permanent one underneath is ready to come into place. When this happens, our dentist will consider the best way to hold the space left by the baby tooth in order to maintain a clear path for the succeeding adult tooth. Sometimes a small dental appliance, known as a space maintainer, is required to make sure the permanent tooth does not become crowded out of the dental arch or impacted by shifting adjacent teeth.\nIn addition to checking for the presence of dental disease, harmful oral habits, as well as the presence of other unhealthy activities or conditions, our office will also monitor your child's facial growth, jaw development, and alignment of their smile. If orthodontic treatment is indicated, we'll advise you of our recommendations for care. One common misconception regarding orthodontic treatment is to wait until all of the permanent teeth (except the wisdom teeth) are present. However, most problems involving the alignment of the teeth and jaw growth can be identified by the time a child is in the first or second grade. For this reason, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends that all children have a check up with an orthodontic specialist no later than age 7.\nIf your child or teen plays sports, a sports mouthguard is an excellent idea. Properly fitted, mouthguards are a fundamental component of protective athletic gear and have been demonstrated to reduce trauma to the teeth, tongue, lips, and jaws. Based on your child's involvement in a particular sport, we'll advise you on the most appropriate mouthguard to protect his or her smile.\nAfter your child's permanent molars and premolars come into place, we typically recommend the placement of dental sealants. As an ultra-thin, clear coating that is painlessly applied to the biting surfaces and grooves on the back teeth, dental sealants block the bacteria and acids that cause decay.\nWisdom teeth, which are also known as the third molars, are the last permanent teeth to develop in the oral cavity as well as the final ones to come into place. However, as is often the case, many wisdom teeth do not have sufficient room to erupt, are not developing correctly, or are causing issues for the adjacent teeth and the surrounding tissues. If the wisdom teeth are not fully or partially impacted, they tend to emerge between the ages of 17 and 21 years. At every checkup visit, our office will monitor the development and position of your child's wisdom teeth recommend if and when any extractions are indicated.\nRecognizing the fact that children have active lifestyles means there is always a chance an accident involving a hit or blow to the mouth or teeth can occur. These traumatic injuries can happen at home, in the playground, or on the playing field. Common injuries to the teeth and oral cavity seen in a pediatric dental office include everything from soft tissue lacerations of the lips, cheeks, or tongue to chipped, fractured, dislodged, or \"knocked out\" teeth.\nEqually frequent reasons for children to require urgent dental care are painful toothaches, dental infections, and mouth ulcerations. Whatever your child's dental emergency may be, you can rely on our office to provide skilled, compassionate, and reliable care. Our goal is to get your child back on the road to oral health while alleviating any associated discomfort and preventing more serious consequences to their dental health and overall well-being.\nAt the office of East Meadow Dental Associates, we welcome patients of all ages for care and provide a comprehensive range of services designed to address the needs of every member of your family. We're passionate about what we do and maintain a position at the forefront of advances in dentistry to offer our patients the best options in care.

This year was my third attempt to grow my own food. I’m glad I did too. For those who can relate, you can imagine my joy when I pulled my first bell pepper off the plant and ate it too. Over the years I have changed my perspective on the purpose of food. Have you heard the saying, “Eat to live or Live to eat?” Well, in my lifestyle I have incorporated more of the “Eat to live.”\nI have always had the idea of growing my own food. The condition of the soil wasn’t conducive for planting in a couple places I’ve lived, it was too rocky. There were also things I had to learn about how to plant. I don’t count my failed attempts as a waste of time because each time I learned something. My main goal was to have food that provided the best value available most of the time. The idea was not just to prolong life but to live the best life possible.\nEat To Live\nLet me explain my take on the phrase “Eat to Live.” My explanation is simple it seems, we need food to live. But, there is more to it than that. All foods are not created equal. Don’t get me wrong I have not lost my taste buds. I like the way somethings taste and I eat them because I enjoy doing so. After infusing myself with the knowledge of how different foods work to prevent illness I began to sacrifice taste for health. As a nurse, I know illness has no respect of persons. I have seen what a consistent lifestyle of unhealthy eating leads to. So, I have incorporated different foods into my diet that serve me in providing wellness. I have made it a lifestyle not just for me, my family too.\nBalance is the key to living well. it also has a role in nutrition. Your diet should not consist of only one type of food. We need a variety to fulfill the whole healthy purpose. That was the idea behind the food pyramid. The challenge is monitoring what is in food so you can make informed choices about what you put in your body. If your diet consists of mostly processed foods or refined carbohydrates, there are what I like to call extras put into the food that is not necessary for living. But those extras is what preserves the food, make it last longer or give it flavor.\nGrocery stores can’t get around not having any preservatives in their packaged foods. They would go out of business because their inventory would go bad. So, the work is up to us to monitor what we put in our body. There are some harmful food preservatives to watch for that are known to cause illness and deficiencies. See the following list:\nBenzoates- brain damage, trigger allergies, asthma, and skin rashes.\nButylates- high blood pressure and cholesterol levels.\nBHA (butylated hydroxyanisole)- liver diseases and cancer\nCaramel-Vitamin B6 deficiencies, genetic effects, and cancer.\nBeast Foods to Eat\nRaw vegetables are at the top of the list for the best foods to eat. They offer the most complete nutritional value. Some of my favorites vegetables to have are spinach, lettuce, carrots, squash to name a few. I have now included watercress after learning of the powerful impact it provides to good health. Watercress is low in calories and contains no fat. Packed with many minerals and vitamins watercress also reduces chronic disease and has certain compounds that may prevent certain cancers. Most of your green leafy vegetables provide a good amount of fiber along with cancer-fighting elements.\nIf you prefer eating a different version from raw than take care to not overcook your veggies, so the vitamins are not cooked off. Spinach and broccoli are good examples of veggies that tend to be overcooked. Fruits are another food item to put on the list. They offer much needed ascorbic acid and fiber amongst other beneficial elements.\nI have also adopted wheatgrass and chlorella as staples in my kitchen. These two superfoods are packed with vitamins and minerals that cover a large range of health benefits. Together or apart wheatgrass and chlorella do wonders for your body inside and out.\nOther foods like bread, meats, sweets, and fats should be eaten in moderation. Always go for lean when it comes to meat. As far as the bread, look for the sprouted, 100% whole wheat or stone ground selections to try.\nGrow Your Garden\nI have come to the conclusion that the best way for me to know that I am getting the most out of what I eat is to grow it myself. I realize it takes time and a process to put this in motion on a larger scale than I currently have. Yet it is an option for me where I can take some control to better my lifestyle. Growing your own food is not limited to those with big backyards. There are options like boxed gardens, table gardens, or different pot styles. This year I am growing tomatoes, yellow squash, bell peppers, strawberries, and carrots outside. Inside I have basil, mint and a pineapple plant. If you have the problem of not being able to make to the grocery store often enough to replenish your fresh produce, growing your own foods may be a good option.\nIn conclusion, you are worth living the best life possible. The solution lies in the choice you make. Nutrition is just one of the areas where we have options. So, I encourage you to explore those options because You’re worth it!", "domain": "health"}

It’s a way to optimize wellness by ensuring the parts of the musculoskeletal system are working in harmony and reaching their full potential. At ACT Wellness Center in Woodbridge, our Dr. Carmelino Caratozzolo is a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician, meaning that he is able to provide assistance to people suffering from tendonitis. This dysfunction of the connective tissue between muscles and bones is one of the most common sources of pain, so let’s take a closer look at what it is and how it is treated.\nSkeletal muscles bundle into fibrous bands, called tendons, before inserting into bones. Tendons, unlike muscles, have poor blood supply, but they share being prone to fraying when overused or when they rub against a protrusion. Their fraying causes them to become weak, a condition known as “tendinosis,” and breakdown of tissue may trigger the body’s inflammatory response. An inflamed tendon is said to be suffering “tendonitis,” and if the lubricated sheath of synovial tissue surrounding it it is inflamed, we call that “tenosynovitis.” An inflamed tendon will be sore, swollen, and stiff, and may continue to break down.\nWhen a patient incurs tendonitis through overuse, we can help them to reduce inflammation through soft tissue therapies such as application of cold laser and electric stimulation. We may also perform extremity adjustments to restore subluxated joints in the limbs, addressing the underlying cause of wear by reducing the stress on tendons. Therapeutic exercise can increase the strength and flexibility of the soft tissues, making them less vulnerable to fraying in the future and increasing their blood supply, allowing them to heal faster.\nTendonitis may get worse on its own, but is highly responsive to uninvasive, non-addictive treatments. If you’re experiencing soreness in your limbs, schedule a visit to Dr. Caratozzolo at the ACT Wellness Center, 14111 Minnieville Road, Woodbridge, Virginia. Call 703-491-9355.", "domain": "health"}

The boy, fragile and shirtless, had fallen from a tree while picking mangos and landed on a barbed-wire fence. The tumble left him with a bloody, 2-inch laceration on his back.\nNormally, emergency treatment for Yostin might have included a hike down the sweltering Honduras Mountains from the boy’s home in the Yoro region of northern Honduras to a main road. From there, it would be necessary to hope for a random ride or to walk to the medical center in Olanchito, a town that was six hours away by car.\nHowever, that sweltering June day the Virginia Commonwealth University Global Health and Health Disparities Program group was operating nearby as part of its annual nine-day medical clinic. The brigade consists of VCU student pharmacists, medical students and faculty, and nursing faculty, as well as doctors from Inova Fairfax Hospital. The team sanitized Yostin’s wound, bandaged the crying child with gauze, gave his father an antibiotic cream for treatment and advised him to bring the boy back for a follow-up visit the next day.\nThe entire medical interaction was relatively straightforward and lasted only about 15 minutes, but it represents the type of timely, hands-on care residents of rural Honduras often lack. GH2DP team leaders say the brigade, which is in its 11th year, exists for patients such as Yostin while also serving to introduce medical students to the importance of global health work.\n“Our goal is to treat as many residents as we can as often as we can, and we want our students to be part of that,” said Gonzalo Bearman, M.D., one of the GH2DP team leaders and the chair of the Division of Infectious Diseases in VCU’s School of Medicine.\nSecond-year medical student Ryan Wallace witnessed the incident with Yostin and was struck by what was done so swiftly with so little.\n“Even though we couldn’t really do exactly what we would do in the United States, we were able to provide the best care with the given resources,” he said.\nEach year, Bearman and Michael Stevens, M.D., lead a medical team to Honduras to provide health care to nearly 900 indigent adults and children. Many are afflicted with the type of disease and discomforts that would go untreated without the visit of the VCU contingent. If not traveling by mule, horse or on the back of an overcrowded pickup truck, some people walk up to six hours to be seen at the mobile clinics.\nHonduras is located in Central America between Guatemala and El Salvador to the west and Nicaragua to the south and east. It has a population of about 8.2 million, with many people living a relatively isolated existence in the country’s mountains. Tegucigalpa is the country’s capital and largest city.\nMany of the country’s primary health ailments, such as diarrhea and helminths, also known as parasitic worms, are prevalent because so many residents live and work in unsanitary conditions without access to running water. For daily duties such as bathing and washing clothes, rural Hondurans often utilize the same water sources as the country’s animals.\nOnly one of the 18 villages in Honduras’ La Hicaca area, where VCU’s group typically serves, has electricity and only four have car access. Many residents lack education and find work at a young age harvesting beans and corn in the fields. To compound the harshness of work life, many Honduran homes are little more than shanties with dirt floors that host insects, worms and damp soil that breeds disease.\nThat’s why the work GH2DP does is so important, said Father Pedro Hernandez O’Hagan, priest for Vector of St. George Catholic Church in Olanchito. Through the mobile Mass services he leads and other initiatives, O’Hagan works with Honduran residents from more than 150 communities. When GH2DP is not there, only one nurse is available in La Hicaca.\n“The brigade is such a big help. It gives the nurse support,” he said. “We’re especially grateful that the brigade has taken an interest in this zone, which is the poorest.”\nEach day’s clinic included registration, consultation with pharmacists and gastrointestinal and internal medicine doctors and, for patients with poor vision, a chance to pick out a pair of generic reading glasses. For children there was a pediatric stop. Clinic days began around 8 a.m. and ended when either the last patient was seen or when the lack of natural light made reading information forms impossible.\nTwo of the nine clinic days were spent in the community of Las Lomitas, where approximately 300 patients were seen. After trudging through hilly, muddy, secluded terrain, residents stood in line for hours to register themselves and their children for medical treatment. Because there is little television or telephone access in remote areas of the country, residents are alerted that the brigade is coming to a town near them via pre-planned radio announcements.\nWaiting in a long line that snaked through the hot grass did not deter the excitement over GH2DP’s arrival, O’Hagan said.\n“They’ve been waiting for this clinic all year long,” he said.\nThe Los Lomitas clinics were set up in two dank, 15-by-20-foot rooms with no electricity and little air circulation. One room served as an examination area and occasionally a bathroom for urine samples. Brigade members held up both ends of a large tarp in the back of the room when privacy was needed.\nA dusty, grassy hill just outside the brick structures was the stage for one of the most important elements of the group’s mission — the demonstration and distribution of new water filtration systems for residents. Prior to the brigade’s arrival, families who had received clay pots to filter their household water were told they would receive updated models. The new, more sophisticated system, an 8-gallon bucket with a detachable spout and water filter, will last residents 10 years as opposed to the two-year life span of the clay pots.\nAlthough slight and soft-spoken, O’Hagan had the full attention of residents as he meticulously explained how to use the filters. In that same mild manner he at times had to quiet the crowd when disagreement was voiced about who would receive them. One filter is given for use by three families, with one person designated to safeguard the filter and allow others access.\nSilvia Vasquez Laesperanza, 58, walked two hours to Las Lomitas to get a water filtration device.\nWhen asked what she would have done if she couldn’t get to the GH2DP mobile clinic to retrieve it, the petite grandmother replied through a translator that she would “look further away.”\nVCU internal medical resident Jason Cook was one of four medical residents on the trip. Last year, he worked on a chlorination project to help residents such as Laesperanza.\n“The big thing is that we’ve been doing tons of research all targeted toward the needs of the community,” Cook said. “You try to come up with something in the classroom, but you’re not sure if it’s going to be effective. But we’re able to go back and retest the water, and talk to people to see if it made a difference.”\nIn 2015, 80 percent of villagers reported fewer episodes of diarrhea in the past year since the water distribution system was chlorinated, and a statistically significant decrease in E. coli was observed from sampled pre- and post-water chlorination, he said.\nAt the end of their time at the medical clinic, attendees were given surveys to assess their health status and determine if they had attended previous brigades. The team strategically comprises every aspect of medical outreach needed, including translators, pediatricians, administrators and drivers to navigate the lush but rock-littered Honduras terrain.\nSecond-year VCU medical student Tim Wills served as a driver and a translator for this year’s trip. As the son of missionaries, Wills said he sees himself doing this type of work long-term.\n“I’ve done trips like this in the past and I’ve always wondered what it would be like to attend as a student who has the knowledge to help,” he said. “I see myself as a professional working in a place similar to this, within this type of an established effort.”\nThe Department of Internal Medicine has a global health and health disparities track for internal medicine residents who, like Wills, have a desire to work in underserved countries. Part of the curriculum includes two health outreach trips to Honduras, the Dominican Republic or Peru.\n“The experience students and [medicine] residents have is potentially transformative,” said Stevens, the brigade’s co-leader. “We hope its impact in terms of perspective and experience will lead them to serve underserved people in their future careers.”\nPart of students’ experience included humble, Honduran living conditions. Living quarters for the brigade consisted of three schoolrooms at the La Hicaca site. The compound’s only source of running water was an outside cistern used communally for washing clothes and brushing teeth. Sleeping bags, hammocks and tents were used as cushion from the cement floor and protection from the nighttime mosquitoes.\nHOMBRE, or the Honduras Outreach Medical Brigade Relief Effort, is the student arm of the brigade that helps send students to Honduras, the Dominican Republic and Peru. Patrick Mason, M.D., works closely with the GH2DP brigade and has helped VCU faculty and students expand HOMBRE into a 501(c)(3) status, nonprofit organization. While working at Inova Fairfax Hospital, he was charged with developing a program to teach pediatric residents about global health. He began working with HOMBRE in 2005 and has been a part of trips each year. Mason is medical director of endocrinology at Quest Diagnostics in Chantilly, Virginia.\nLike Stevens, he said GH2DP is designed to steer students’ aspirations toward serving in disadvantaged communities.\n“The project has two big missions,” he said. “We want to educate U.S.-based students and teach them about what’s going on other than what they see in Richmond. The other hope is to inspire them to help take care of the world. That really is the global health mission. If we can inspire one or two of them to go that route, that’s helpful.”\nGH2DP is funded through donations from various nonprofit organizations and contributions from the VCU Department of Internal Medicine. Donations allow the brigade to purchase items that support its water chlorination and deworming initiatives, as well as other public health campaigns. Students who are part of the global health track are financially sponsored for the trips.\nOn the final two days of the GH2DP clinics, two local dentists were on-site in La Hicaca. They capitalized on the clinic’s presence by sending patients who needed pain medications, after tooth extractions, to its pharmacy. Set up in the tiny quarters of a two-room building, patients sat in plastic lawn chairs and carried the burden of tilting their head just right for the dentist to perform procedures.\nAlba Maria Quesada usually performs dentistry at St. George Clinic in Olanchito and Pedro Antonio Padilla works at the Central Clinic of Arenal. However, because GH2DP was in town they came to La Hicaca in hopes of helping more people.\nWhen asked why she chose to provide dental care in Honduras, Quesada said, “to love and to serve.”\nAfter the dentists leave the mobile clinic, many of the residents they see will not receive any other dental work for some time. The same is true for those who come for medical assistance. Each year, however, the clinics are well-attended, with residents who come annually.\nJean Rabb is a clinical nurse at VCU who has taken seven GH2DP trips. Each year she recognizes community members who have come to the clinic in previous years. She has found that she has developed strong connections with them as individuals.\n“That’s a wonderful takeaway,” she said.\nJorge Alexies Aguasarca, 19, is one of those residents. While visiting the clinic last year, he began trembling and sweating profusely. Then he lost consciousness. The brigade was able to get him to the hospital in Olanchito for a brain scan. He was diagnosed with seizures. With help from the brigade, he was given a year’s supply of medicine. “That is one year of treatment which [Aguasarca] wouldn’t have been able to pay for,” O’Hagan said.\nA year later, Aguasarca describes his condition as calm.\n“I’m very grateful, thankful for what they did for my health,” he said.\nAguasarca’s experience highlights the value of VCU’s steadfast commitment to the region, O’Hagan said, and shows that though GH2DP is not in Honduras all year, the fruit of its efforts endures in its absence.\n“Many brigades come, but the VCU brigade chose to stay in this area and create relationships with the residents,” O’Hagan said.\nAnyone interested in donating to GH2DP can visit http://gh2dp.vcu.edu/Donate.html for more information.", "domain": "health"}

I saw 35 doctors, and none of them could figure out what was wrong with me. They were useless. Dr. Newman was the best -- by far -- of all of them. He made the right diagnosis, and after a few months of treatment, I am tremendously improved. I hope to be fully recovered in a few more months.\nDr. Newman is not only a great doctor, but he is also truly compassionate and has a magnificent sense of humor. He is a pleasure to work with. I cannot recommend him highly enough.\"\nSanta Barbara, CA\n\"My doctor has performed another amazing feat; I am without lupus symptoms for the first time in over thirty years!\nI had made out my will and made preparations for my cremation with my son. At this point my children decided I should see a doctor other than the Primary Care Person I had been seeing. Everything was wrong. My blood was so thick and dark they could hardly draw it for blood tests; I had just had extensive testing for terrible internal pain which moved around on my left side; I could hardly walk five feet without feeling like I was going to faint; and pain in my hip made walking almost impossible, anyway.\nIn October of 2001, in the Emergency Room of East Moreland Hospital, I met Dr. Daniel Newman. I was experiencing a violent headache, nausea, vomiting and vertigo. His successful (and, to me, amazing) treatment of my condition convinced me that he had a very unusual approach to medicine and was the type of physician I had been seeking. As often happens in life, I didn't follow up on my inclination until a year and a half later when I was in the condition as described in the second paragraph.\nAt our first meeting in his office he asked me (as I believe he asks most new patients), \"What can I do for you?\" I replied that I just wanted someone to \"be there\", meaning I didn't expect to live much longer and I wanted a physician I could trust to be in charge; I gave him a copy of my Living Will. I had had a stroke about eight years before, from which I had seemed to have recovered. However, as the results of records and tests which he requested began to come in, it became clear I had continued to have a series of small strokes.\nSo, this man completely changed the way I lived my life. At first, I doubted everything he did; however I vowed to follow his instructions to the letter- just on the chance he could actually fulfill the promise he made to restore my health.\nHe did. I lost forty pounds. I now have more energy and am more active than I have ever been in my life. I have taken computer classes for the last few months and now work with Word and Excel. I love life! And I owe it all to this man whose devotion to his patients is extraordinary, and whose talent and skill are beyond question.\nAfter all he had already accomplished with me, when I began to have a serious lupus event he devised a treatment which began to terminate the symptoms almost immediately. No other doctor had even made a serious effort to treat this condition for me… I am still symptom free. And I shall be eternally grateful!\nMy eldest son Robert wrote the following observation in his holiday greeting card:\n\"You really blew everybody away when you came out of old age into middle age; and I was proud of you ~ really proud, but I wasn't ready for your 'triple entente' it was your complete faith in the truth you recognized in Doctor Daniel; and your dedication to the truth you saw. Wish we were all so amazing. I love you, and you remind me so much now of the mother I remember of my childhood.\"\n\"I began working with Dr. Newman in June of 2005. The cases that I referred to Dr. Newman have been complex and baffling to numerous other physicians.\nIn each of the cases that I have referred to Dr. Newman, he has taken an exceptionally careful and thorough history. In each case, he has done a thorough review of records from previous treatments. Since completing my residency at the Oregon Health Sciences University in 1978, I have never met a physician more knowledgeable in human physiology. He is a master of a dying art in American medicine, that is, clinical diagnosis. The combination of these several talents, that is thorough and sensitive history taking, human physiology, and his ability to make clinical diagnoses, allows him to use laboratory tests efficiently in his confirmations of his diagnosis...I have also been quite impressed with Dr. Newman's willingness to search out new information through extensive review of the literature in one particularly unusual case that I referred to him. It is refreshing to find a physician with such outstanding knowledge of medicine who also possesses the energy and is willing to take the time to search out additional information if any aspect of a case as the least bit unclear...Without reservation I can recommend Dr. Newman to you...\"\nDon W., M.D.\n\"Thank you for all your help making my family healthy and strong. Mom is a whole new woman - full of hope for the first time in years.\"\n\"I have never been one to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, especially since I am British - 1st generation! However, it is the anniversary date of my diagnosis and so I celebrate still being here and toughing it out through a very hard year. I can’t thank you enough for your support, wisdom, and breadth of knowledge. I am looking forward to an easier year and more \"no news is good news.\"\n\"...my daughter…has finally decided to get help and call you for an appointment...It will be completely worth it. I can attest! I feel wonderful. Thank you for all you do for everyone. In gratitude,\"\n\"Thank you! I feel better. You rock! Your patient,\"\nTyler C., age 11\n\"Thanks so much for all of your help these 4 years. I came into your office dragging, feeling poorly - I leave feeling alive, regenerated, and on a good healthy road.\nI have appreciated your knowledge and wisdom as well as your...humor, what a great combination.\nWith deep gratitude and good wishes for your practice. Namaste,\"\nBeaver Creek, OR\n\"An Ode to my Doctor, sweet and dear\nWho draws his patients from far and near\nArmed with knowledge from so many sources\nAll the better to diagnose us\nHis bright, broad smile and such quick wit\nWarms our hearts; makes him a hit\nHe listens carefully to symptoms galore\nOur feeble excuses and even more\nHis mind always races to find the real cause\nHis questions hone in and give us pause\nHis fingers type fast to keep up with his brain\nForming steps for us to retain\nHe skillfully chooses the proper doses,\nSo we won’t turn ‘comatoses’!...\nWith love and best wishes,\"\nIt was almost 8 years that I went from doctor to doctor telling my story & symptoms. After many exams and blood tests they always came back with, \"I can't seem to find anything to explain your symptoms.\"\nKnowing I couldn't tell my story one more time, I remember thinking, \"I know something's wrong,\" and that my symptoms were not normal. I told my husband that since I couldn't get a diagnosis I was just going to accept this as my life, take good care of myself, and figure out how to \"live with it.\"\nThrough a series of events, and what I call \"Divine Intervention,\" I came across a patient of Dr. Newman. She had had a similar frustrating medical history as I had, and had great success with him. So I decided to try one last time.\nThat First appointment seemed so detailed and thorough I hadn't experienced anything quite like it. I remember rattling off symptoms- jumping around all the moments I could recall. I was thinking, \"I wonder if this even makes sense?\" Dr. Newman followed me completely.\nAfter some testing, he confirmed his diagnosis. I actually have many things going on, but now I have an answer and am on a journey towards healing. It is such a blessing that some body heard me; I am on my way and doing so much better today!\nI have referred many people to Dr. Newman; he has been able to diagnose all of them. I believe God gave him a gift and I tell everyone, \"If any one can find it- Dr. Newman will find it!!\nOnce you have a diagnosis, you have a journey... which gives you HOPE and I say if you have hope you have everything. I call Dr. Newman and his staff \"My Healing Family.\" I am Blessed and Honored to be his patient, and I know my healing is just around the corner.\nI thank God I found Dr. Newman!!\n“Thank you for the huge difference you've made in my health over the last few months. I'm feeling much more energetic, motivated, stronger and clear-headed. It is such a gift to feel like I'm finally regaining my health and rebuilding my body after years of feeling bad. I know I still have a ways to go, but I'm tremendously encouraged by my progress.\nYou remind me of the way doctors used to treat their patients with a thorough, holistic approach. My great-grandmother's father was an MD, as were all of her 7 brothers. I grew up hearing stories about how they operated as small town doctors who made house calls and treated entire families from birth through death (and were often paid with chickens and produce as they practiced during the Depression). It's wonderful to find a doctor in this day and age who values that kind of treatment and combines it with the best of modern technology.”\n“Rachel is a different person since you met her. She is a lively six year old now who pays attention to what she is experiencing. Thank you for all the help you gave us. We are eternally grateful to have her ‘back.’ We will see you all soon, and look forward to your winning smile and encouraging outlook.\nWith sincere affection,”\nSanta Monica, CA\nSanta Monica, CA\n“Thank you for all that you have done, and continue to do for me. I cannot imagine what my life would now be like without your caring expertise. I may now carry on my life with relatively little worry of being incapacitated by a faint odor, and live with a level of health that would otherwise be unattainable. Again, thank you, with every fiber of my being.\nFinding My Path to Good Health\nIn 2006, I began to notice I ended most days oddly achy and tired. I thought it was due to my job and the jostling hour-long bus commutes. I was now in my sixties so there was that as well. Then, a passing comment by a friend and confirmed by my doctor, gave me pause. Could I be allergic to the drug that helps lower my cholesterol? Within days of not taking statins, my joints no longer ached constantly. “If you stop taking them altogether,” my doctor at the time admonished, “you’ll have to make lifestyle changes.”\nSo I made a few concessions in my diet, tuned up my supplement regimen based on the “latest” recommendations, and hired a personal trainer at Northwest Personal Training. But after a year, my cholesterol numbers weren’t improving and my energy remained at low ebb. It was obvious something was missing.\nI had made two common errors – I didn’t have the science to know what my body really needed and I fell prey to popular notions of “good” health. I won’t go into a rant about reductionist science or misleading nutritional guidelines that serve corporate interests. What matters is I found Rising Health and the right advice for me.\nFollowing Dr. Newman’s regimen of targeted supplementation and diet change, I began to feel better almost immediately. In just one year, my cholesterol number has dropped 60 points to 173, testimony to the correctness of the program Dr. Newman has me follow. Results such as this are, in my experience, uncommon in western medicine without prescription drugs.\nFor me, the bottom line is this: to have a life without health care, I have to care for my health. That might sound grim but it really isn’t when you’re rewarded each day with better strength, stamina, and mental clarity. I call it the best long-term health insurance there is.\nUsing medical science to understand what your body needs and applying that knowledge simply makes sense. In balance with diet and exercise, Dr. Newman’s treatment has changed my life. Sure I wish I’d known how to be this healthy long ago, but it’s enough to have learned it at all.\nWords cannot express the gratitude I have for the exceptional care you have given me. You have saved my life. You all have gone above and beyond to make me feel cared for, safe, and important. I can tell you just how unique and special this is for a doctor office to show this level of care and concern.\nI will be forever grateful.", "domain": "health"}

The stress of living in our fast-paced world demands that kind of emergency power for our bodies on a daily basis.\nThink of other nutrients as protecting agents. Just as your car has additives and devices that protect the body, engine, and driver, nutrients serve to protect your heart, brain, and other critical organs.

It's a typical practice among guarantors to restrict the quantity of pills you can acquire every month. After you hit your cutoff, the cash based expense for a solitary pill can be extremely high. \"The principle obstruction in my training is the cost,\" Dr. Liou says.

I was at a crossroads, wondering about the next step in my life. At that time I wasn't in the habit of asking for guidance so I didn't really expect a response. But I heard the answer quite clearly: I needed to go to healing school. \"Really?\" I asked this voice that was clearly not my own. \"You're sure about this?\" Becoming a healer had never been a part of my plan....\nBut the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. The \"dots\" were all there, I had just never connected them before. I grew up with a younger brother who had serious mental challenges (developmental delays and mental illness) and my close relationship with him led me to develop a strong sense of compassion and empathy. I had always pondered the deeper meaning of life, which led me to obtain an interdisciplinary degree in Psychology, Sociology and Philosophy. I had worked for many years in the social services field, which honed my ability to communicate easily with people from all walks of life, to listen fully and discern what was needed. And for many years I suffered from a variety of chronic illnesses, which created a strong commitment to improving my health and led me on an unexpected journey into the world of energy work.\nFor most of my life, \"energy\" and \"healing\" were alien concepts. I was a firm believer in conventional medicine and tried every pill and procedure my doctors recommended. But Western medicine is admittedly at a loss when it comes to certain chronic problems. So when my doctors told me that they had done all they could do and I would just have to \"learn to live with it,\" I began to explore other options. I eventually stumbled upon energy work and the specific technique that assisted me in healing my chronic issues was Brennan Healing Science. It was not a fast process, but because it helped me get to the root of my physical ailments, I not only saw great improvement in my physical health, but also in my emotional well-being, my mental perspective, my relationships, and my spiritual connection. More importantly, I went from feeling completely debilitated by what I saw as circumstances beyond my control to feeling empowered and transformed. My healing journey is one of several featured in a PBS documentary entitled Choosing Wisdom: The Path Through Adversity and in a related book by the same name.\nOnce I made the decision to trust the guidance I received and enroll in the four-year program at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, I dove right in and soon realized that I had found my calling. This intensive training was one of the most challenging and amazing times of my life; the only thing that has been more rewarding is having my own professional healing practice and helping others as I have been helped.\nSince graduating from the Brennan School, I have continued on a spiritual and healing path that has included several years of training (800+ hours) in VortexHealing®, as well as meditation study and retreat with Adyashanti. I am also currently participating in a year-long facilitator training for Philip Shepherd's Radical Wholeness/Embodied Presence Process.\nWhat else can I tell you about myself? After a childhood of moving from state to state, I knew that I was finally \"home\" as soon as I settled in the Charlottesville area in 1986. The last 25+ years have been spent creating a joyful and fulfilling partnership with my husband, Dave. When not busy with healing work, I enjoy reading, cooking, music, hiking, kayaking and traveling.", "domain": "health"}

Millions who used marijuana under the table for medical reasons are breathing a sigh of relief because the herb that means everything to their quality of life is now legal. In 2018, marijuana won the war against prohibition. Gallup polls show support for recreational legalization at 64% and for medical marijuana as high as the 80’s. There are plans to pardon Canadians who’ve been convicted of possession of 30 grams or less; smooth, sensible move, Canada. Hopefully the United States will follow suit, pass legalization federally, and pardon all those non-violent offenders who have been jailed for simple possession.\nCurrently, 9 states and D.C. allow recreational marijuana use and medical use is legal in some form in 31 states, Guam and Puerto Rico. This year, Michigan, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Utah have marijuana legalization on the 2018 ballot. What’s more, it looks like the measures have a good chance of passing. Hopefully, this will get the younger generation to the polls. The dominoes are beginning to fall.\nAccording to a wide-ranging California survey as reported in the Post, 92% of medical marijuana patients say that cannabis alleviated symptoms of their serious medical conditions, including chronic pain, arthritis, migraines, and cancer. Americans suffer from one or more of approximately 687,696,716 cases of aliments or diseases of which cannabis has been shown help…at a much lower cost, I might add. That it has taken so long to legalize and especially decriminalize marijuana use is just foolish. We’re a nation drowning in healthcare costs, much of that for ridiculously expensive pharmaceuticals..\nCriminalization has done tremendous harm to the people whose lives have been ruined, not by the substance, but by the industry that profits off jailing users. People of color are overly subjected to penalties. We need to have laws, sure. But they should be sensible laws. So congratulations, Canada.

Exposure to natural light in the morning helps regulate your circadian rhythm, boosting alertness and mood. Open your curtains, step outside for a few minutes, or consider investing in a light therapy lamp to simulate sunlight if necessary.\nHydrate and Nourish Your Body\nAfter hours of sleep, your body needs hydration and proper nourishment to kick-start your metabolism and provide the energy you need for the day ahead. Drink a glass of water upon waking to rehydrate and support optimal brain function. Follow it up with a nutritious breakfast that includes a balance of protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates to sustain your energy levels.\nEngage in Mindfulness or Meditation\nResearch indicates that mindfulness or meditation practices in the morning can enhance focus, reduce stress, and improve emotional well-being.

Paying attention to changes to your body and taking action when things don’t seem right is important because sexual health isn’t just about you – it’s about your partners’ health, too.\nBut as you’ll see, being smart about sexually transmissible infections (STIs) is more than just looking for odd bumps and lumps.\nWhat are STIs?\nSTIs are infections that can be transmitted during sexual intercourse, including vaginal, anal and oral sex. They occur when viruses, bacteria or parasites pass from one person’s body to another’s during sex or intimate skin-on-skin contact. Some STIs affect an isolated area only, like the genitals, while others can spread and cause damage in other parts of the body.\nHow do I spot an STI?\nYou might be surprised to learn that most STIs don’t have symptoms. This means you can’t necessarily tell if you or your sexual partner has an STI just by looking. That’s why regular sexual health check-ups are essential.\nBecause STIs are so common and testing is quick and easy, many clinicians suggest getting an STI test every 6–12 months, when you change partners, or if you have any symptoms that you’re concerned about.\nIt's also important to know that being treated for STIs doesn’t stop you from getting them again.\nQueensland’s most common STIs, and their symptoms in men\nSTI symptoms can be different between men and women. We’ll take a closer look at men’s symptoms here, but for more information check out our blog on Queensland’s most commonly diagnosed STIs.\nIf you’ve got odd lumps in intimate places, there’s a chance it’s either genital herpes or genital warts. Both are caused by viruses and can be transmitted through unprotected vaginal, oral and anal sex or intimate skin-on-skin contact.\nGenital herpes is a very common STI. In fact, it’s estimated that 1 in 10 sexually active adults in Australia have genital herpes. The virus that causes genital herpes can lay dormant in the body for many years. This means you might have symptoms straight away, or not for many years after contracting it.\nFor men, the typical symptoms of genital herpes include:\n- outbreaks of small, painful blisters\n- outbreaks of a rash that looks like cracked skin\n- stinging or tingling in the infected area\n- difficulty urinating.\nAfter first contracting the virus, you may also experience flu-like symptoms such as fever, headaches and swollen glands.\nSymptoms typically occur in episodes, with each lasting around 7 to 10 days. Currently there is no cure for genital herpes, but treatments are available that can reduce the length and severity of each episode. The virus that causes genital herpes stays in the body for the rest of your life, and the symptoms can recur over time. For more information, watch our animation about herpes.\nGenital warts can be caused by different types of human papillomavirus (HPV). The HPV strains that cause genital warts are different to those that are associated with certain cancers.\nFor men, genital warts can appear on the penis, scrotum, or anus. Genital warts can be:\n- bumpy, flat, or appear in clusters\n- painless, but are sometimes painful, itchy, or uncomfortable.\nWart treatments are available, but only your immune system can clear the virus. This means the virus can linger even if the warts aren’t visible.\nChlamydia is the most common bacterial STI in Queensland and in the world. In Australia, the vast majority of chlamydia infections in young people remain undiagnosed and therefore untreated. Without treatment, it can lead to serious health issues down the track, including infertility, yet most uncomplicated chlamydia infections are easy to treat with a single dose of antibiotics.\nFor men, the symptoms of chlamydia can include:\n- discharge from the penis\n- discomfort or irritation at the tip of the penis from the urethra\n- pain when urinating\n- swollen and sore testes\n- pain in the rectum and discharge from the anus if spread through anal sex.\nPeople who have contracted chlamydia may not have any symptoms at all. For more information, watch our animation about chlamydia.\nIn Australia, it’s estimated that 1 in 20 young people have new chlamydia infections in a year (including reinfections) and three quarters are undiagnosed and therefore untreated.\nGonorrhoea is another STI that can occur without symptoms and it is on the rise in Queensland. Untreated gonorrhoea infections are not only potentially uncomfortable and unpleasant, but they can also lead to serious issues down the track. Gonorrhoea can infect the testes and lead to infertility. It can also increase the risk of HIV transmission.\nFor men, the symptoms of gonorrhoea can include:\n- a yellow discharge from the penis\n- pain and/or burning sensation when urinating\n- swollen and sore testes.\nIf contracted through anal sex, the symptoms of gonorrhoea can include:\n- pain in the rectum (the end of the large intestine that joins to the anus)\n- discharge or mucus from the anus, which might be bloody\n- feeling of fullness in the lower bowel.\nIf contracted through oral sex, the symptoms of gonorrhoea can include:\n- a sore, red throat\n- pus on the tonsils.\nSymptoms can appear but then go away after a couple of weeks, but that doesn’t mean the infection is gone. Only antibiotics can clear a gonorrhoea infection and most uncomplicated infections are easy to treat with a single dose of antibiotics. However, some types of gonorrhoea are resistant to some drugs and can therefore be more complex to treat. For more information, watch our animation about gonorrhoea.\nSyphilis is also on the rise in Queensland. Like chlamydia and gonorrhoea, you can have it and not experience any symptoms. It’s a serious infection that, if left untreated, can be fatal. Syphilis presents in three stages, each with its own list of possible symptoms.\nEarly on, you might get sores, rashes and ulcers of different shapes and sizes. You might think it’s genital herpes or a really bad heat rash and the sores might go away, but if it is syphilis, the infection is still in the body.\nAfter 2-6 months, the symptoms of syphilis infection can include:\n- a flu-like illness\n- a rash on the abdomen, palms and soles of feet\n- swollen glands\n- wart-like lumps around the moist areas of the body (groin, armpits)\n- hair loss\n- pains in the muscles, bones and joints.\nThese symptoms might also go away on their own, but the infection remains. Over time, an untreated syphilis infection can spread to other internal organs like the heart and brain, causing serious and even life-threatening complications.\nSyphilis is a particularly dangerous infection for pregnant women as it can cause congenital syphilis for the baby. Congenital syphilis can be life threatening to babies. If your partner is pregnant or hoping to be pregnant one day, you can protect her reproductive health by taking care of your own.\nFor more information, watch our animation about syphilis.\nUsing condoms reduces the risk of passing on STIs during sexual intercourse and oral sex.\nWhat to do if you think you might have an STI\nBy now it should be obvious that STIs aren’t just about lumps. They can be serious, and some stay with you for life. The list of STIsis long, and the symptoms can vary, which is why regular sexual health checks are essential in protecting your overall health.\nIf you think you have an STI, or if you haven’t been tested in a while, book in for a sexual health check with your doctor. Don’t worry, they’ve seen it all before, and the sooner you get in and have it sorted, the better. STIs can usually be easily treated with medications like antibiotics. For those that can’t, your doctor can help you manage your symptoms and reduce the risk of transmitting the infection to others.\nYou can also order a free urine test online for chlamydia and gonorrhoea through the 13 HEALTH webtest program. There are two options to provide urine for a webtest:\n- Download a pathology form and give a urine sample at your local pathology collection centre. This is the quickest way to get your results.\n- Order a home mailing kit and post your urine sample in the reply-paid envelope to be analysed.\nThe webtest program doesn’t replace a sexual health check, but it can be useful if you can’t get to a health service. 13 HEALTH webtest cannot test for syphilis or HIV, or for throat and anal infections.\nIf you find out you’ve contracted an STI, you should talk to any current or past sexual partners so they can get tested and treated too. Your doctor can give advice on who you need to tell and how to tell them, and this guide on contact tracing may help as well. In some cases it might be better for a health professional to contact partners for you, so talk to them about this option if you are concerned.\nEven if you don’t think you have an STI, if you’re sexually active and don’t use a condom every time, commit to getting a sexual health check at least once a year. Remember that many people with STIs don’t experience symptoms. It’s only through regular testing that you can be sure you’re STI-free.", "domain": "health"}

When the sweat glands don’t receive chemical signals, the excessive sweating stops. Research has shown that treating the armpits with botulinum toxin is safe and effective. In one clinical study involving 322 patients with severe underarm sweating, 81% of the patients receiving botulinum toxin injections achieved a greater than 50% reduction in sweating.

It is also sometimes referred to as Tapping Therapy or Meridian Tapping. It was described by its founder Gary Craig as being “similar to acupuncture without the needles”. Instead of using needles, during EFT we “tap” using our fingers on specific pressure points, rather like acupressure. These are located mostly on the head, upper body and fingers. It is a fairly new method of working with clients however it is also gaining much ground worldwide, as it has a tendency to have success where other therapies don’t. Put simply, it is used to liberate painful memories. Whilst we are tapping on the meridian points we bring to mind and verbalise the specific issue we want to work on. Once you vocalise the issue and tap on the points you will begin to be able to have the same thought without the physical anxiety, thus the negative thought can be released.\nWhen we feel stress in our bodies, we are feeling threatened and the amygdala in our brain goes into a fear response, known as fight flight freeze. It releases adrenaline which leads to a range of physical reactions in the body. This is what we recognise as stress or anxiety or even panic. Our body is preparing for danger, which was useful historically to fight a tiger or run away, but now has less useful application in our modern world and leads to overwhelm, distress and disease.\nIn the world we now live in our amygdala does not know the difference between a real threat and a perceived one. Accordingly modern challenges at work, relationships or in any area of our lives can unhelpfully trigger the same response that our forbearers had. Interestingly, by verbalising the event or stressful situation and tapping, we calm this response in the amygdala and find equilibrium and calm. This is what makes EFT so effective. In essence, it is not until you experience the process that you release its power.\nWhat is the purpose of EFT?\nEFT is non invasive, the client can learn the protocol themselves and eventually apply it in many given situations at home, work or anywhere it is necessary. EFT seeks to rebalance the body’s energy system or meridians and restore a positive psychological/emotional response where there has been a negative one. EFT seeks to restore peace where there might be panic or pain and rebalance the clients emotions.\nWhere are the tapping points?\nThese will be fully taught and explained throughout our sessions and you will be familiar with the points and their order relatively quickly. However, most of the points are on the face/head and upper body.\nWhat can EFT be used for?\nIn short EFT can be used on just about anything. However, a few suggestions of areas that may be considered include, difficult memories or trauma from the past, anxieties or phobias, worry and stress related issues, difficulties with relationships, work, performance issues, anger issues, depression pain and weight/body image issues, to name but a few. If ones types EFT followed by a symptom or emotion into the internet then there is usually a commentary on the subject matter or a suggested script. These scripts may in some cases be useful as a guide, however in order to see real results there is a need to be as specific as possible and really pull up the routes of the problem. It is therefore worth working with a therapist on the bigger issues as it is easy to “get in your own way!”.\nHow will I feel during my session?\nAs with most things, the response to EFT is not the same for everyone. Most often comments about the state of the person tend to be positive and may include feeling relaxed, sometimes tired with a tendency to yawn. However, oftentimes, there may be tears during a session due to the release of emotional content. Clients may experience a broad range of physical responses to EFT including but not limited to: feeling emotional, tears, changes to feelings in parts of the body such as temperature change or tightness or tingling. Sometimes Clients may feel light headed or shaky. These are all completely normal however it is important that you understand these responses may occur.\nWho can use EFT?\nJust about anyone including children and the elderly. Anyone can learn the tapping points and after a few sessions will get to grips with the basics of how to tackle a problem. EFT is painless and safe, therefore it is suitable for most people. However, if you have any concerns whatsoever, you are advised to seek medical advice before undertaking EFT or any other therapy.\nWhat can I expect of my session?\nSessions tend to last around an hour, although your first one may be a little longer. If you are clear on what you would like to work on that is great, however sometimes this will shift naturally as the session progresses and other issues present. This is fine and completely accepted. As to how many sessions you will need, this may depend on a variety of factors and is best discussed at your first session after I have a clearer picture of what you are seeking to achieve and worked with you once to assess your responsiveness to the protocol.\nFor those who want to know about the scientific research.\nThis technique can strike as rather simplistic in it’s application, which for some can lead to it being sadly dismissed. For those out there who are interested in the research that is available on the matter, as a starting point please see EFT Universe.\nAny other points?\nIt is important to drink lots of water during an EFT session and preferably afterward too.\nWhat is Matrix Reimprinting?\nMatrix reimprinting is an elegant process devised by Karl Dawson author of two books on the subject which come highly recommended. These are Matrix Reimprinting using EFT –rewrite your past, transform your future by Karl Dawson and Sasha Allenby AND Transform your beliefs, transform your life- EFT tapping Using Matrix Reimprinting by Karl Dawson with Kate Kate Marillat.\nMatrix reimprinting does have it’s routes in EFT and like EFT is a meridian energy therapy with the ability to release small T and big T traumas from our past which are preventing us form achieving the life we want in the present and making it much more likely we will have a future life we seek.\nMatrix can be considered as an appropriate therapy for the same set of emotional/physical issues as EFT. It is a very useful tool for manifesting life goals.\nWhereas EFT is used to take emotional intensity out of past memories, with Matrix Reimprinting, one can be left with not just a neutral but a positive feeling regarding the memory.\nMatrix reimprinting is a powerful and relatively simple process which is far better experienced than read about and is a brilliant tool for aiding your transformation to healing and wellness.\n“Energy Psychology is nothing less than the medicine of the future” Lynne McTaggart", "domain": "health"}

The term refers to an amped-up cup of joe… If you’re reading this and wondering how complicated coffee can get, the answer is a lot.\nThis drink is nothing new though; it’s been around for hundreds of years and is still made, sold and consumed today in countries like Nepal, Ethiopia and Vietnam. Built on the foundation of a simple shot of espresso, the drink’s tradition dictates the addition of a hefty serve of butter. This combination is a fast source of energy that is warming and rejuvenating for Sherpas trekking Mt Everest. But why has it caught our attention here?\nWhen you Google ‘Bulletproof Coffee’ you’ll find that the name Dave Asprey is closely linked to the beverage. Asprey, a Silicone Valley entrepreneur and biohacker, discovered the beverage during his own personal trek in Nepal and was astounded by how well it replenished his energy, helped his body cope with the altitude and, in his words; “switched my brain on.” Now, Asprey has branded Bulletproof Coffee as his own – he has registered and trademarked the phrase, created his own products to support the beverage and is dedicating his time towards promoting and marketing this buttery coffee.\nCoffee is a controversial topic – opening discussion on whether coffee should or should not be consumed is tricky even amongst knowledgeable health professionals. If we strip back the controversy, coffee does provide some health benefits:\n– Contains B vitamins like Thiamin, Riboflavin, Pantothenic Acid and Folate. These B vitamins are crucial to help the body make and utilise energy from the food we eat and are also involved in helping the body replicate and produce new DNA.\n– Contains high amounts of antioxidants like zeaxanthin, carotene and beta-carotene which have a potent action towards counteracting oxidation and reducing free radicals. These antioxidants also convert to vitamin A which plays a crucial role in skin and eye health.\n– Has a positive effect on the liver and is known to have a positive, slowing effect in patients presenting with liver disease like cirrhosis. Consumption of three or more cups of coffee per day showed a 53% lower risk of liver disease progression than those who drank no coffee at all.\n– Coffee consumption has been linked to decreased risk of Type II diabetes mellitus due to its ability to regulate insulin sensitivity.\nSo often we’re bombarded with a list of reasons coffee is bad for our health, and consumption of the stuff is synonymous with guilt. If after reading the above list of coffee benefits you’re still not convinced, perhaps you’re just not consuming it properly? Dave Asprey’s major selling point for bulletproof coffee is combining it with the correct source of fatty acids. We’re all familiar with coffee’s ability to wake us up and provide energy, alertness and clarity. Asprey’s bulletproof claims to also sustain our energy levels, help our bodies burn fat, balance hormones, suppress hunger, lose weight and super-charge our cognition.\nIt’s no secret that fat is satiating – thankfully we’ve come a long way from the message of the 1970s that fat should be feared, but the suggestion to drink butter and oil is still a little strange for some. Butter, especially when made from the milk of grass-fed cows is particularly high in Omega-3 essential fatty acids, which are necessary to help our body mediate its levels of inflammation. It’s also a rich source of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K, necessary for good skin, bone and blood health.\n“It’s no secret that fat is satiating – thankfully we’ve come a long way from the message of the 1970s that fat should be feared, but the suggestion to drink butter and oil is still a little strange for some.”\nBrain octane oil is the final piece of the bulletproof-success puzzle. It’s also a registered and trademarked product that has been derived from coconut oil. Coconut products have long been praised for the fact they contain medium chain triglycerides, or MCTs. The coconut argument is another controversial one, so let’s break down its benefits:\n– MCTs are a type of fatty acid that is preferred by the body as they are metabolised quickly and are even known to reduce fat mass within the body by down-regulating genes within the body that store fat.\n– MCTs raise ketone production within the body. Ketones are produced and released by the liver when the body does not have sufficient glucose to utilise for energy. While our body’s preferred source of energy is glucose (which is found primarily in carbohydrates), if sufficient glucose is unavailable, ketones are produced instead, which allow the body to burn fat rather than carbohydrate to be used as an energy source.\n– Ketone production suppresses appetite because it provides longer lasting energy than carbohydrates.\nIntrigued? You’re not alone. Many people have jumped on the bulletproof coffee bandwagon, consume it daily and can vouch for the benefits discussed above. Find the recipe below:\n– 1 cup of brewed coffee (Bulletproof coffee mould-free beans recommended)\n– 1-2 tablespoons of grass-fed butter or ghee\n– 1-2 tablespoons of brain octane oil\n1. Blend together in a high-speed blender for 30-60 seconds, until well combined and foamy.\n2. Drink slowly and enjoy the creamy, mood and energy-enhancing, fat-burning, hunger-suppressing beverage.\n3. Take note and see if the drink sustains you until your next meal.\nIf you want to read more about bulletproof and keto coffee, this article is another great resource: Coconut oil in coffee", "domain": "health"}

What is beryllium?\nA. Beryllium is a brittle, steel-grey metal found as a component of coal, oil, certain rock minerals, volcanic dust, and soil. Elemental beryllium (atomic #4) is the second lightest of all metals and is used in a wide variety of applications. In its elemental form beryllium exhibits the unique properties of being lightweight and extremely stiff, giving the metal several applications in the aerospace, nuclear, and manufacturing industries. Exposure to beryllium most often occurs in mining, extraction, and in the processing of alloy metals containing beryllium.\nQ. What is beryllium disease?\nA. Beryllium disease is caused by the inhalation of beryllium particles, dust or fumes. Its symptoms include coughing, shortness of breath, fatigue, weight loss or loss of appetite, fever and sweating. Medical tests may reveal abnormal lung sounds, lung scars, decreased pulmonary function, granulomas (a nodular form of chronic inflammation) and an allergy to beryllium.\nThe chronic form of the disease, Chronic Beryllium Disease (\"CBD\") is caused by an allergic reaction to beryllium.\nDepending on the severity of CBD, symptoms of pulmonary hypertension, cor pulmonale, or respiratory failure may be present. CBD is incurable, usually irreversible and may result in death. The acute form of the disease, involving skin disease with poor wound healing and rash or wart-like bumps can also occur but is rarely seen and is not nearly as serious as CBD.\nQ. If I’ve been exposed to beryllium how long can it take CBD to show itself?\nA. CBD has a very slow onset. It can sometimes take thirty years or more after exposure before CBD will be seen or diagnosed.\nQ. Where can I be exposed to beryllium?\nA. Exposure to beryllium can occur in the workplace. Among the industries which have used beryllium:\n·Metal working (pure beryllium, copper and aluminum\nalloys, jet brake pads, aerospace components)\n·Ceramic manufacturing (semi-conductor chips, ignition modules, crucibles, jet engine blades, rocket covers)\n·Electronics (transistors, heat sinks, x-ray windows)\n·Atomic energy industry (heat shields, nuclear reactors, nuclear weapons)\n·Laboratory work (research and development, metallurgy, chemistry)\n·Extraction (ore and scrap metal)\n·Dental work (alloys and crowns, bridges, dental plates)\n·Prior to 1951, it was used in the fluorescent lamp industry\nQ. Can I be exposed to beryllium outside the workplace?\nA. Yes. Evidence has existed for decades that persons living near beryllium used in industry, i.e., plants and factories, can be exposed and sickened by beryllium dust, particles and fumes released into the general atmosphere.\nQ. How much beryllium does it take to become sick?\nA. A single exposure is sufficient for a lifelong risk of developing the disease. Because CBD is caused by an allergic reaction to beryllium, very little exposure is required in order to cause the chronic form of the disease. Unlike other toxic elements, exposure to greater quantities of beryllium does not necessarily enhance the chance that you will get CBD. (There is no dose-response relationship).\nQ. How do you know if you’ve got CBD?\nA. You may already have symptoms which include fatigue, non-productive cough, gradually progressive shortness of breath, chest pain, anorexia, weight loss, fevers, night sweats and joint and muscle pain. However, you may have none of these symptoms and still have the disease or be considered beryllium sensitized.\nQ. If the presence of symptoms may or may not tell me that I have CBD, how can I be diagnosed?\nA. The best way to be diagnosed for CBD is to be clinically evaluated by a physician and subjected to a blood test known as a beryllium lymphocyte proliferation test (BeLPT).\nQ. What is a blood BeLPT test or screen?\nA. Blood BeLPT is a simple test which determines if you are allergic to beryllium and, therefore, beryllium sensitized. This test can establish a beryllium-specific immune response using the blood or lavage BeLPT or beryllium salt patch test plus pathologic changes consistent with CBD. While a history of beryllium exposure is helpful, it’s documentation is no longer essential to establish a diagnose of CBD since the BeLPT has been shown to be highly specific. This is especially important given that seemingly trivial exposures to beryllium can cause significant disease. By using an immunologic criterion, patients who have little apparent history of beryllium exposure can be detected. Also, individuals may now be diagnosed with CBD at its early stages, sometimes prior to the appearance of clinical signs, symptoms, or radiographic (x-ray) or physiologic (lung function) abnormalities. Early detection may improve disease prognosis even though it remains incurable. Finally, the immunologic tests help distinguish CBD from other kinds of interstitial lung disorders, correcting misdiagnosis and directing appropriate therapeutic interventions. CBD in the past has often been confused with sarcoidosis.\nQ. How is CBD treated?\nA. Primary prevention is superior to medical treatment of CBD. Unfortunately for current cases, there is no cure for CBD. The goals of treatment are to reduce morbidity and mortality by inhibiting inflammation and slowing disease progression. Removal from exposure is always recommended.\nQ. Can exposure to beryllium cause other adverse health effects?\nA. Yes. Scientific evidence has confirmed that beryllium is a human carcinogen and a number of large epidemiologic studies have shown an increased risk of lung cancer among those exposed to beryllium.\nQ. If I have CBD, or have been shown to be sensitized to beryllium, what are my legal rights?\nA. Whether you were exposed to beryllium in the workplace or simply by living near the industrial use of beryllium, you have important legal rights. Polluting the workplace and the general environment may be actionable if you have been harmed. Workers exposed in the workplace may have workers’ compensation rights as well as the ability to sue their employer and third parties for their injuries. Similarly, nearby residents and others in the community exposed to emissions of beryllium dust, fumes and particulate can sue the companies responsible for those emissions for money damages.\nQ. I recently heard about a federal program granting benefits to certain workers in the beryllium industry (the Energy Employees’ Occupational Illness Compensation Act of 2000 [H.R. 5408]). Should I file a claim under this Act?\nA. Assuming you are eligible for benefits under the Act, you must give up your right to sue the companies responsible for causing your chronic beryllium disease. Since settlements and awards from lawsuits in chronic beryllium diseases can far exceed the available government benefits, all workers with potential claims should consult an attorney before deciding what course of action to pursue. Only benefits for workers under the Act are available, community residents living near beryllium plants can sue the plant operators for their injuries but cannot pursue benefits under the Act.\nQ. Whether I have been injured as a resident living near a beryllium plant, as a worker in the beryllium industry, or both, what should I do to learn more about my rights?\nA. An attorney knowledgeable about beryllium litigation can advise you about your rights.\nQ. If I worked or lived near a beryllium facility in Pennsylvania or elsewhere. Where can I get legal information about my rights?\nA. Feel free to call the law firm of Golomb & Honik toll-free at 1-800-355-3300 and speak with either Ruben Honik or Richard Golomb.

A time of promise but also unsettling social, political and technological changes, it, too, faced and survived its own pandemic: the Asiatic cholera, which appeared in the United States in 1832. Cholera causes severe abdominal cramps, sudden and profuse diarrhea and vomiting. The rapid loss of body fluids causes the faces of its victims to turn blue, and death by dehydration usually comes within a few days or even hours of onset.\nLike COVID-19, cholera first broke out in Asia and spread through increasingly frequent travel and a global trade network. The first cholera pandemic occurred in 1817, and the world has faced at least six more outbreaks since. In 1831, the deadly disease again appeared and spread west. It killed hundreds of thousands across Russia, Austria-Hungary and Germany. Later that year it reached Western Europe and continued its spread into 1832. London saw 6,536 deaths and Paris over 20,000. Fifty-five thousand died throughout Great Britain as a whole, and 100,000 died across France. A voracious and increasingly ubiquitous news media—daily newspapers—spread fear even faster than the disease itself. Americans read how cholera ravaged Asia and Europe and hoped the Atlantic Ocean would protect them. It did not. By June, the disease appeared in Canada and the United States, where it initially struck New York and along the Mississippi River and soon spread, especially in rapidly growing urban areas. Days after the first deaths were reported in New York City, former mayor Philip Hone confided to his diary, “This dreadful disease increases fearfully; there are eighty-eight new cases today, and twenty-six deaths. Our visitation is severe but thus far it falls much short of other places. St. Louis on the Mississippi is likely to be depopulated, and Cincinnati on the Ohio is awfully scourged.”\nNo one knew what caused this terrifying disease or how it was spread. Was it contagious? Many blamed “miasma,” or bad air. Some said it was bad oysters, unripe fruit or other contaminated food. French doctors saw a link to poverty and crowded living conditions. Since there was no definitive test, many saw the signs and symptoms of cholera, that is, diarrhea or vomiting, and fearfully thought it was the dreaded cholera. Some saw this scourge as nothing less than the wrath of an angry God, punishing a sinful world. Others suspected that contaminated drinking water was to blame, but no one knew for sure until British doctor John Snow proved it in 1854 when he traced the source of a local cholera outbreak to a single neighborhood pump. Almost three decades later, in1883, a water-borne bacterium called Vibrio cholerae was discovered to be the specific cause of cholera.\nMany Americans in 1832 blamed recent immigrants and their lifestyles, particularly the Irish. Philip Hone lamented to his diary that the disease was likely brought to western cities by\n“emigrants from Europe; Irish and Germans coming by Canada, New York, and New Orleans, filthy, intemperate, unused to the comforts of life and regardless of its proprieties. They flock to the populous towns of the great West, with disease contracted on shipboard, and increased by bad habits on shore. They inoculate the inhabitants of those beautiful cities, and every paper we open is only a record of premature mortality. The air seems to be corrupted, and indulgence in things heretofore innocent is frequently fatal now in these ‘cholera times.'”\nNew York merchant, philanthropist (and early promoter of Santa Claus) John Pintard observed that cholera “is almost exclusively confined to the lower classes of intemperate dissolute & filthy people huddled together like swine in their polluted habitations.” He also cynically opined, “Those sickened must be cured or die off, & being chiefly of the very scum of the city, the quicker [their] dispatch the sooner the malady will cease.” As had been the case from the ancient world through the witch craze of the 17th century and beyond, the first impulse of many was to blame “the other,” i.e. social outcasts.\nNewspapers and magazines ran charts reporting the number of cases and deaths day by day and stories of those who died in towns and cities across the country, often with frightening details. Without authoritative medical bodies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or the World Health Organization (WHO), periodicals were rife with letters and articles from named and unnamed experts offered often-contradictory opinions and advice. This only fueled fear and uncertainty.\nHow did early Americans react to this terrifying and often fatal illness, which caused patients’ faces to turn blue as fluids rapidly left their bodies? For many, they responded by implementing a 19th-century version of social distancing: they fled crowded cities for the countryside. Tens of thousands of New Yorkers—those who could economically afford to— sought refuge in rural areas, traveling by carriage and by steamboat and renting lodging wherever they could in rural villages. The poor, left behind in crowded conditions with faulty sanitation and fouled wells, were those most likely to succumb.\nThe fact that no one knew for sure what caused cholera did not mean people did nothing. Many prayed. Holden, Massachusetts observed a day of fasting and prayer on July 19, 1832 in response. The entire Commonwealth did the same on August 9th. Temperance lecturer Sylvester Graham proclaimed that it (and indeed all disease) was the result of poor lifestyle choices. He guaranteed that those who abstained from the “excitement” of meat, alcohol, and sex would be perfectly safe from cholera and attracted many followers to his prescribed “diet of brown bread and pumpkins,” as Ralph Waldo Emerson derisively described it.\nDoctors typically treated cholera initially with bedrest and warm herbal teas made from spearmint, chamomile and other soothing ingredients. There was nothing wrong with that. Once fever commenced, however, medical treatment unintentionally hastened death by administering harsh drugs and treatments that caused even more dehydration, including powerful laxatives, enemas, emetics, bloodletting and blistering. Although he, too, prescribed harsh purgatives and blistering, at least one physician, Dr. W. V. Rhinelander of New York, advocated intravenous saline solutions, an effective treatment, although there was no safe means of doing so at that time. Indeed, IV fluids and antibiotics are the prescribed treatment for cholera today.\nUltimately, New York, with a quarter-million people the largest city in America, reported over 3,000 deaths from cholera, with thousands more nationally. The summer of 1832 was terrifying for most and tragic for some, but by the fall, the disease had largely passed. It would strike again in the 1840s, the 1870s, and beyond, but no one knew that then.\nToday, good sanitation and clean drinking water have largely eliminated cholera in the developed world. However, it is far from eradicated. In our 21st century, cholera still infects 1.3 to 4 million people and kills up to 143,000 annually around the world. By comparison, as of this date (April 2), according to the World Health Organization there have been 896,450 COVID-19 viral infections and 45,526 deaths worldwide.\nTaking off my historian’s hat for a minute, I end by reminding you of the obvious. While we can know the past we cannot change it. We do not know the future, but we CAN influence and even change it. We do not yet know how the COVID-19 pandemic will play out. We DO know that it is a contagious and potentially dangerous virus, spread by droplets every time an infected person breathes, coughs or sneezes. Those viruses can be spread on surfaces for up to a few days. Every infected person will likely infect at least two or three others, perhaps more. That is why isolation and social distancing are so vitally important NOW, at this relatively early stage here in the United States. If one person infects two people, and so on, it only takes repeating that process twenty times for a million people to become infected. Our personal actions can either significantly slow—or accelerate—the spread of COVID-19. YOU truly can help prevent death and suffering by staying healthy. So as our leaders both globally and at the Village have told us, please stay home, and stay well, for your own sake and for the sake of us all. Thank you and God bless.\nAuthor Tom Kelleher is Historian, and Curator of Mechanical Arts at Old Sturbridge Village.", "domain": "health"}

Depression, as the old saying goes, is anger turned inward. Various studies have found anger attacks to be common in 40 to 60 percent of those with unipolar and bipolar depression. The rate is about the same for bipolar mixed states. Surprisingly, no studies appear\nMood specialists are careful to distinguish between occasional hot flashes of anger and the long-simmering irritability and rage—angry outbursts lasting over several days, during both manic episodes and agitated states of depression—that is symptomatic of bipolar disorder. During a manic episode, experts say, mood changes can swing from irritability to euphoria to depression—all within a 25-minute period of time.\n“Instantaneous anger that lasts a few minutes and occurs twice a week is not bipolar, it’s being angry,” says David L. Dunner, MD, FACPsych, director of the Center for Anxiety and Depression in Mercer Island, Washington. “Irritability can be present during highs and lows, but irritability without elated mood makes me suspect the illness may not be bipolar.”\nIn other words, everybody gets angry. Just because you have a head-turning temper tantrum doesn’t mean you have bipolar disorder. Anger is a common response to both physiological illnesses like cancer and heart disease and mental illnesses such as intermittent explosive disorder, major depressive disorder and substance-induced mood disorder.\n“As bipolar disorder receives more media attention, it’s easy for any type of abhorrent behavior to be attributed to it when in fact, this has to do with one’s temperament,” says Ronald A. Remick, MD, a consultant psychiatrist at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver, British Columbia.\n“Bipolar patients are not angry, hostile, irritable people with short fuses,” he emphasizes. “If people with bipolar illness have anger issues, they have anger issues.”\nIt is, however, a side of bipolar disorder that has long passed under the radar screen. Many people with bipolar say that uncontrolled anger has destroyed their marriages, families and personal relationships, ruined their careers and left them emotionally isolated.\n“Anger is the real destroyer of our good human qualities; an enemy with a weapon cannot destroy these qualities, but anger can. Anger is our real enemy.”\n– His Holiness the DalaiLama\nPersonal healing is a long and difficult, but eventually rewarding journey. But our own anger as a a bipolar sufferer is by far our own worst enemy. Nothing else comes close. Get your quick fix off the anger-mongers if you have to, but learn to appreciate that these people will not be by your side for long. That is because you will be making headway in your journey while they most assuredly will remain in the private little hells of their own making. Maybe you can spare them a kind thought. Unfortunately, I cannot. Their antics have resulted in far more hardship and suffering in our population than any injustices in the system they love talking about. Sometimes it helps just to say to yourself, I'm angry about that. In anycase, if anger is a big part of your bipolar disease, seek help from some very good anger managment programs offered by your health provider.", "domain": "health"}

It is most common after a rear-end collision, but whiplash can be caused by your head jerking in a forward or backward motion causing a strain or damage to your neck. Certain kinds of traumatic experiences can cause whiplash, including sports trauma, physical abuse or a hard fall. By far the most common whiplash cause is getting rear-ended.\nWhat is whiplash?\nThe term “whiplash” describes sudden acceleration or deceleration movements and their impact on the body. The term is often used synonymously to describe the resultant injuries typically characterized by neck pain and stiffness usually because of a soft-tissue injury which can be expected to heal within a few weeks or months with appropriate medical treatment. Sometimes, whiplash can cause more lasting pain and injury and even neurological issues. Many whiplash-related injuries may only be seen with an MRI or sometimes a CT scan or X-ray. The collection of ongoing symptoms one may experience after a whiplash injury is called Whiplash Associated Disorder. Whiplash Associated Disorder may be limited to physical symptoms such as:\nShoulder and back pain\nNeurological impairment may also result. Here are some of the other symptoms of WAD, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke:\nAbnormal burning or prickling sensations known as paresthesia\nWhen to seek medical treatment.\nAs with all injury-causing collisions or events, we recommend our clients seek medical attention as soon as possible. We don’t want you to be in pain, so we advocate for our clients to receive treatment as soon as they can after an injury.\nWhiplash is usually a soft-tissue injury, meaning it causes damages to the muscles, ligaments, nerves or tendons. It can also cause damage to the discs and bones in your neck or back. Pain is most commonly present immediately after the event but may gradually lessen or progress. Stiffness, headaches, dizziness, insomnia and even depression can all be related to a whiplash injury.\nHow long does it take to heal?\nMost of the time, whiplash will subside within a few weeks to a couple months. Some people feel better within a few days. As with most things related to our health, a patient’s age, overall health and medical history will all be factors in how long it takes a person to heal and what that process looks like. Even if it has been a few weeks since your injury, if you are now in pain, don’t wait any longer to seek treatment.\nIt is not uncommon for whiplash injuries to worsen after initially starting to improve. If you have other complicating medical issues such as an old back or neck injury, these can be aggravated by whiplash. In such instances, medical treatment earlier is highly recommended so that soft-tissue damage from the most recent event can be accurately assessed thus helping you avoid this common objection from the insurance companies.\nWhen to seek legal help.\nWhiplash is one of the most common reasons car wreck victims may seek the help of a qualified legal team. In Texas, you have two years to file a claim from the date of your initial injury. If you need to make a personal injury claim for a financial recovery, waiting too long after an injury-causing event can raise questions about the legitimacy of your claims during the progression of your case. In whiplash cases, the most important factor will be proving that the negligence of the other party caused your injury. Our legal team will gather evidence including police reports, witness statements if available, medical records, evidence of time missed work time, photos and other information that shows how the other party was negligent and caused your injuries.\nIf you were rear-ended, insurance adjusters may attempt to place blame on you to avoid financial responsibility.

Coffee drinking is a part of my routine that really gets my day going! Although it is delicious, drinking it every day has also caused my teeth to have some staining. I have been searching for an in-home whitening process that won’t break the bank as much as an in person treatment, and was thrilled at the opportunity to try Smile Brilliant’s teeth whitening system.\nThis post has been sponsored by Smile Brilliant, but all opinions are my own.\nMy history with teeth whitening:\nI started becoming more interested in coffee culture a few years ago. Prior to this, my teeth had always been a pretty healthy shade of white. I hadn’t taken teeth whitening seriously until one dentist appointment where I was told that my teeth were severely stained from my coffee consumption. Since the staining had happened over a couple of years, I hadn’t even noticed the shift! After that visit, I started researching into different whitening methods.\nWhen I was younger I had tried whitening strips, however I did not like that they did not stay in place for me very well. I decided that these weren’t for me this time around. I tried charcoal powder for a short period of time, but I found that that made my teeth and gums extremely sensitive. I had spoken with my dentist about their teeth whitening options, but their whitening process was a little out of reach for my pockets.\nIt was around this same time that Smile Brilliant reached out to me to try their whitening system in exchange for a review, and I was thrilled to test it out! Keep reading to find out more about my experience, and there’s a treat at the end of this post for one of you (*hint, GIVEAWAY!), courtesy of Smile Brilliant!\nThe Smile Brilliant whitening kit:\nI received my whitening kit in the mail quickly and got started with the process. I received the T3 Sensitive System for sensitive teeth.\nThe kit included:\n+ 3 base pastes\n+ 3 catalyst pastes to make the molds\n+ 3 teeth whitening gels\n+ 3 desensitizing gels\nI was really excited that Smile Brilliant offered an option for sensitive teeth ad was looking forward to seeing how it helped with the whitening process.\nHow to make the impressions:\nThe T3 Sensitive System I received provided very detailed instructions on how to best create the impressions. Using the 2 pastes in the kit, I created a catalyst paste to make a mold for both my top and teeth. This was the part I was most nervous about, as the instructions said the paste had to be mixed and placed in the molds quickly. I used my phone timer to watch my time, and it was mostly a success! I’m so happy Smile Brilliant included the extra container of the pastes, because I accidentally took two impressions of my top teeth! After finishing my impressions, I mailed back my molds in a pre-postage envelope and received custom fitted trays for my top and bottom teeth.\nThe teeth whitening process:\nAfter receiving my custom fitted trays, I was ready to start the whitening process! After reading the instructions on how to use the trays and gels, I decided to whiten my teeth after dinner, right before bed. You’ll need to allow time for to brushing your teeth with water, at least 45 minutes for whitening, brushing normally, and allowing 15-25 minutes for the desensitizing gel (if you’re using it). Smile Brilliant recommend starting with whitening the minimum amount of 45 minutes, to see how your mouth handles the gel. From there if you do not experience much sensitivity, you can increase the whitening time. The whole process for me usually took about an hour and a half each night, but the instructions said you can whiten for up to 3 hours each session.\nMy experience with Smile Brilliant:\nI noticed I experienced some sensitivity immediately after using the whitening gel if I applied too much. However, I applied the sensitivity gel after each use and did not notice any sensitivity the next morning. I think the sensitivity gel worked very well for me, and I was very impressed!\nThe only challenge I had with the system was figuring out the perfect amount to use in my trays. By using less, I did experience less sensitivity, but I was told it will take a little longer to see the results of the whitening. I was able to get 3-4 uses out of one gel applicator. Overall, the Smile Brilliant link system was very easy to use and I loved that I could put the trays in while doing things around the house. #multitasking\nMy results so far:\nSo far I have been using the whitening system for a total of 7 days, and I am pleased with the progress. They recommend you use the system for 7-12 days, and I will continue to use it for the upcoming days. The instructions also recommended avoiding teeth staining items during the whitening period as much as possible, as it can affect your results too. I think I was not applying enough gel in the beginning, but I can notice a difference between my starting picture and progress picture! I am enjoying the progress so far and look forward to seeing the final results!\nSmile Brilliant Giveaway!!\nHave you been curious about Smile Brilliant and their in home whitening system?

He's the alpha male of the herd, formerly known as leader! Hannibal is amazingly protective over his companion, Zelda, never losing sight of her.\nHannibal was an ex race horse who was bought by a rich family and then neglected. He was locked in his stable with no food, water or exercise for days on end.\nHe was rescued on 23rd August 2018. When he arrived at the sanctuary he was extremely malnourished and filthy. He hadn't been washed or groomed for for months and had crusted urine and poo stuck to his coat. His tummy was unusually bloated as well, another sign of malnutrition.\nWhen he first arrived, Hannibal’s teeth were a mess, no surprises there given how neglected he was. This was one of the reasons why despite slowly increasing his feed, he wasn’t putting on weight as fast as we’d hoped (with bad teeth, horses are unable to chew properly and digestion is compromised). In February, he got his teeth rasped.\nAlso, when horses are starved for long periods of time, the acidity build up increases the risk of stomach ulcers. Another reason why weight gain is slow. Hannibal has now completed his prescribed month’s course of stomach ulcer medication (Pantosec).\nAfter the required dental work, medication and slowly increasing his diet, in just a couple of months Hannibal has put on a good amount of weight. Give it another month or so and he will no longer be under, which is super exciting!\nFeed: We’ve calculated Hannibal’s diet based on his estimated weight and body condition. His diet currently includes 85% dried oats,15% bran mash, boiled groundnut cake (high in protein to help weigh gain), rock salt (mineral supplement) and a Himalayan powder, brilliant for digestion.\nHe’s really on the mend now, his coat, dull and dirty before is now starting to get some shine, another sign of improving health.

It’s not just about counting calories or following the latest diet fad; it’s about nourishing your body and embracing a lifestyle that fuels your well-being. Let’s embark on a journey through the realm of nutrition, exploring practical, human approach to eating well.\n1. Listen to Your Body:\n- Nutrition isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your body is a unique and dynamic entity that communicates its needs. Pay attention to hunger and fullness cues. Eat when you’re hungry, stop when you’re satisfied. This intuitive approach fosters a healthy relationship with food and prevents overeating.\n2. Embrace Variety, Not Deprivation:\n- Forget the notion of restriction and embrace the abundance of diverse, nutrient-rich foods. Include a rainbow of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats in your meals. Variety not only provides a wide range of essential nutrients but also makes eating an enjoyable experience.\n3. Ditch the Diet Mentality:\n- Diets are often short-term fixes with long-term consequences. Instead of chasing fads, focus on sustainable lifestyle changes. Build habits that you can maintain, savoring the journey rather than fixating on quick results. It’s about creating a balanced and enjoyable relationship with food.\n4. Cook with Love, Eat with Joy:\n- Cooking is a powerful act of self-care. Prepare meals with fresh, whole ingredients, infusing your creations with love and intention. Sit down to savor your meals without distractions. Eating mindfully allows you to appreciate flavors, textures, and the nourishment you’re providing your body.\n5. Understand Macronutrients and Micronutrients:\n- Macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) are the building blocks of nutrition. Educate yourself on their roles and sources. Strive for a balanced intake of each to support overall health and vitality.\n6. Hydration Matters:\n- Water is often overlooked, yet it’s a fundamental component of good nutrition. Stay hydrated throughout the day. Not only does water support bodily functions, but it also aids digestion and helps regulate appetite. Don’t forget to listen to your body’s thirst signals.\n7. Savor the Process of Eating:\n- In our fast-paced world, eating has become a rushed activity. Slow down and savor each bite. Engage your senses, appreciate the textures and flavors, and be present at the dining table. This mindful approach fosters a deeper connection with the food you consume.\n8. Enjoy Treats in Moderation:\n- Deprivation often leads to cravings and guilt. Allow yourself indulgences, but in moderation. The occasional treat is part of a balanced approach to nutrition. Relish these moments guilt-free, knowing that a single treat doesn’t define your overall eating habits.\n9. Be Kind to Yourself:\n- Nutrition is not about perfection; it’s about progress. Understand that your eating journey will have ups and downs. Be kind to yourself during challenging times, and celebrate the small victories. Cultivate a positive relationship with food and your body.\n10. Seek Professional Guidance When Needed:\n- If navigating the nutrition landscape feels overwhelming, seek guidance from a registered dietitian or nutritionist. These professionals can provide personalized advice based on your unique needs, goals, and lifestyle. They can also help dispel myths and misinformation about nutrition.\nBonus Tip: Community and Connection\nEating is a social activity that goes beyond nourishment. Share meals with loved ones, fostering a sense of community and connection. Whether it’s a family dinner or a lunch date with friends, the shared experience enhances the joy of eating.\nA Human-Centric Approach to Wellness\nNutrition is not a rigid set of rules; it’s a dynamic and evolving aspect of your well-being. Embrace a human-centric approach that prioritizes listening to your body, enjoying a variety of foods, and cultivating a positive relationship with what you eat. Remember, it’s not just about the nutrients on your plate; it’s about the joy, satisfaction, and overall wellness that a thoughtful and mindful approach to nutrition can bring into your life. So, savor the journey, nourish your body with love, and relish the vibrant tapestry of flavors that good nutrition can offer.", "domain": "health"}

As COVID would have it, this year’s themed event “Breast Cancer Clusters: Blown out of the Water” boasted Erin Brokovich as it’s virtual headliner. The event educated viewers on ways to discover risks for breast cancer, environmental causes, and the latest and most innovative treatment options for breast cancer patients.\nDr. Deborah Lue, MD, breast surgeon and Director of Breast Cancer Services at RWJUH Somerset’s Steeplechase Cancer Center, took to the microphone to passionately advise the audience on modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors, preventative measures, and the new initiatives for early breast cancer detection and treatment. Breast cancer, the most common cancer in women worldwide, accounts for 1 in 4 of all cancers in women. One of initiatives that Dr. Lue highlighted is 3D-guided breast biopsy. This state-of-the-art technology, a new advancement at the Steeplechase Center, helps target tumors that may be challenging to detect with traditional 2D imaging. This technology is a game changer and estimated to have a 35-40% greater detection rate than 2D imaging. Advancements like this are key to promoting earlier detection and treatment of cancer.\nDr. Lue’s presentation was chock full of information but completely accessible. Another highlight for me was her examination of risk factors. RWJBarnabas Somerset provides a comprehensive high risk screening that can examine a person’s risk for breast cancer based on genetic factors and personal lifestyle. While breast density, BRCA mutations, and genetics are leading non-modifiable risk factors, there are many lifestyle modifications that can significantly lower a woman’s risk.\nThe age you have children, whether or not you breastfeed, obesity, diet, and lack of exercise are all modifiable risk factors. 33% of all cancer could be prevented by lifestyle changes alone.\nI loved how Dr. Lue examined the importance of diet and exercise. She aasserted the healing power of green, leafy vegetables (colorful foods = cancer fighting nutrients) and how important it is for women to stay active, particularly after breast cancer diagnosis. She noted that there is a 34% increase in survival of patients with cancer diagnosis that stayed active. We often hear that diet and exercise are imperative to ones health, but Dr. Lue truly convicted and inspired this NJMOM to eat a more whole food and plant based diet and to dedicate time to exercise..aside from chasing my toddler around.\nErin Brokovich, whose Oscar-winning film bore her name, was the guest speaker for the evening. A commanding presence even through my computer screen, Brokovich was instrumental in helping to build a case against the Pacific Gas and Electric Company for contaminated drinking water. Her successful lawsuit settled in 1996 for $333 million dollars, the largest settlement in US history of direct-action lawsuits.\nBrokovich talked about her background in activism and her heightened awareness of the environment, a skill and passion she garnered early in life through her relationship with father. A highlight for me was the endearment with which she spoke of her father. She recalled nature walks they would take and how they would see ‘frogs with two heads’. The discussions that followed sightings such as this helped shape and propel her into the woman she is today.\nBrokovich, a grandmother of 4, applauded NJ for finalizing regulations in June 2020 to get two harmful chemicals linked to cancer (PFOA and PFOS) out of it’s drinking water. As a NJMOM who has always been reluctant to drink NJ tap water, primarily out of the habit of buying bottled water and not knowledge, it was interesting to have a breakdown of just how harmful chemicals in drinking water can be and what is being done to filter them out of our NJ’s drinking water.\nBottled, aquifer, and fully filtrated water isn’t accessible to everyone and so there’s still work to be done! Brokovich communicated that the most accessible way to advocate for clean water is by joining your community, showing up at meetings, and asking questions! “City council in your backyard is a great way to start,” Brokovich said with witticism.\nThank you NJMOM for allowing me to sit in on an informative evening of dynamic speakers. Readers, if there’s any short takeaway, may it be: don’t delay your mammograms, eat a healthy diet and exercise, and investigate your risk factors and environment!

An e-cigarette is a device that works with or without nicotine and offers smokers an alternative to traditional cigarettes.\nPOCO BE 7000 is extremely small and light, which allows it to be easily carried. Thanks to the ergonomic design, it fits comfortably in the hand and is easy to use. It is possible to choose from different colors, so everyone can find the one they like.\nThe operation of the e-cig is simple: it has a battery that can be charged with a USB cable. The energy of the battery can be activated with the help of a button, which creates the vapor that can be inhaled. A heating element (coil) is responsible for creating the vapor, which heats the liquid with or without nicotine (e-liquid), which creates the experience of smoking.\nThe POCO BE 7000 can store a small amount of liquid, which can be more or less enough for a day. The e-liquid can be easily refilled in the tank, which allows you to choose according to your personal taste among different flavors and strengths.\nUsing e-cigarettes has many advantages over traditional cigarettes. The vapor created without tobacco smoke is less harmful to the human body and health, as it does not contain the harmful substances that are created during the burning of traditional cigarettes. In addition, no unpleasant odor or smoke is produced, which makes it more favorable to use it in public places.\nOverall, the POCO BE7000 is an easy-to-use, small and practical electronic cigarette that can serve as an alternative to traditional smoking. For those who want to quit smoking, it can provide an opportunity to consume nicotine without harmful substances. However, it is important to mention that e-cigarettes are only recommended for adults and those who already have smoking experience.", "domain": "health"}

Vitiligo is a progressive disorder in which some or all of the melanocytes in the affected skin are selectively destroyed. Vitiligo affects 0.5-2% of the world population, and the average age of onset is 20 years.\nThe most common form of vitiligo is an amelanotic macule or patch surrounded by healthy skin. The macules are chalk or milk-white in color, and lesions are well demarcated.\nThe lesions are not readily apparent in lightly pigmented individuals; however, they are easily distinguishable with a Wood lamp examination.\nSymptoms of Vitiligo\nVitiligo manifests as acquired white or hypopigmented macules or patches. The lesions are usually well demarcated, and they are round, oval, or linear in shape. The borders may be convex. Lesions enlarge centrifugally over time at an unpredictable rate. Lesions range from millimeters to centimeters in size. Initial lesions occur most frequently on the hands, forearms, feet, and face, favoring a perioral and periocular distribution.\nVitiligo lesions may be localized or generalized, with the latter being more common than the former. Localized vitiligo is restricted to one general area with a segmental or quasidermatomal distribution. Generalized vitiligo implies more than one general area of involvement. In this situation, the macules are usually found on both sides of the trunk, either symmetrically or asymmetrically arrayed.\nThe most common sites of vitiligo involvement are the face, neck, and scalp see different vitiligo pictures. Many of the most common sites of occurrence are areas subjected to repeated trauma, including the following:\n-- Bony prominences\n-- Extensor forearm\n-- Ventral wrists\n-- Dorsal hands\n-- Digital phalanges\nInvolvement of the mucous membranes is frequently observed in the setting of generalized vitiligo. Vitiligo often occurs around body orifices such as the lips, genitals, gingiva, areolas, and nipples.\nBody hair (leukotrichia) in vitiliginous macules may be depigmented. Vitiligo of the scalp usually appears as a localized patch of white or gray hair, but total depigmentation of all scalp hair may occur. Scalp involvement is the most frequent, followed by involvement of the eyebrows, pubic hair, and axillary hair, respectively. Leukotrichia may indicate a poor prognosis in regard to repigmentation. Spontaneous repigmentation of depigmented hair in vitiligo does not occur.\nSome other less common signs of vitiligo may include:\n-- Premature whitening (leukotrichia) or graying of the hair on scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows or beard.

With quality sleep, children have improved mood and ability to focus. Sleep is also essential for forming and retaining memories —an important part of learning!\nBut how can parents help their children get back on a sleep schedule for school after summer or holiday breaks? The secret lies in having healthy sleep habits year-round. A regular sleep schedule, as well as a quality sleep environment and other habits of good sleep hygiene, contribute to children’s academic achievements and overall well-being.\nThe Importance of Setting a Sleep Schedule\nChildren look to their parents for guidance on healthy habits. Sleep should be no exception. For both adults and children, a regular sleep schedule helps the body know when it’s time to sleep and wake up. A sleep schedule helps prevent fatigue, exhaustion, and daytime drowsiness.\nChildren and adolescents whose parents set a bedtime schedule are more likely to get sufficient sleep. These students likely have earlier bedtimes than their peers without parent-set bedtimes. Students with parent-set bedtimes also experience less fatigue during the day and less difficulty staying awake during the day.\nHow Much Sleep Does Your Child Need?\nPreschoolers (ages 3-5) require 10-13 hours of sleep\nSchool-age children (ages 6-13) require 9-11 hours of sleep\nTeenagers (ages 14-17) require 8-10 hours of sleep\nA Centers for Disease Control (CDC) study found that most American children and teenagers don’t sleep enough. Nearly 6 in 10 middle schoolers and at least 7 in 10 high schoolers don’t sleep enough on school nights. Of the high school students surveyed, almost two-thirds sleep less than eight hours nightly.\nAdhering to sleep schedules with parental support can help students achieve the sleep needed to help them perform their best.\nHow to Get Back on a Sleep Schedule for School After Summer or a Holiday Break.\nStudents’ sleep schedules understandably loosen up during a school break. Kids use break time to rest and recharge, and there are often exciting things going on! However, during short holiday breaks, it might be best for children to try and stick to their regular sleep schedules. Then, they won’t have to quickly adjust back to their school sleep schedules after the break.\nWhenever possible, try to help your children keep a consistent routine of going to bed and waking up at the same time each day. That way, even when school restarts after a break, they are already in the habit of having scheduled sleep.\nSo how can parents help their children get back on a sleep schedule for going back to school? Take it one day at a time!\nThe process of adjusting a sleep schedule should be incremental. In the weeks leading up to going back to school, have your child wake up 15 minutes earlier and go to sleep 15 minutes earlier than they have been during their break. Continue to adjust their bed and wake times in 15-minute increments every few days until your child is sleeping and waking at the desired times for school. By the first day back to school, they should be adjusted to the new sleep schedule and ready to go.\nRemember that adjusting to a new sleep schedule feels challenging to some children. If your child does not fall asleep after twenty minutes, have them come out of their room and do a quiet, sleep-inducing activity free from blue light. When they are sleepy, help them to bed again.\nBe patient and give yourselves time. Older children and adolescents may benefit from discussions about the importance of sleep and good sleep habits.\nWhat Is a Good Bedtime Routine?\nWinding down at the end of the day can help children sleep well and prepare for school the next day. A good bedtime routine includes relaxing activities, such as:\nTaking a warm bath/shower\nBrushing teeth and washing up\nCuddling with a parent\nReading with a parent or individually\nExample of a Bedtime Routine\nMaya, age 10, needs to get up at 6:30 a.m. to go to school. She does best when she has had ten hours of sleep.\nAt 7:30 p.m., an hour before bedtime, she puts away her tablet.\nShe takes a warm shower and brushes her teeth.\nShe reads a book quietly in the living room.\nAt 8:30 p.m. she goes to bed with a reminder from her parents. Her room is dark, quiet, and free of distractions.\nShe wakes up at 6:30 a.m. feeling refreshed and excited about school.\nBack-to-School Sleep Hygiene Tips\nIn addition to a structured sleep schedule and bedtime routine, sleep hygiene is essential for helping children sleep well. Sleep hygiene addresses both daytime habits and nighttime must-haves to ensure quality sleep. Back-to-school sleep hygiene tips include:\nExercise regularly. Exercise promotes sleep and reduces stress. Remember that inactivity during school years increases the risk for obesity in adulthood. Also note that your child should not exercise too close to bedtime, since this might prevent them from falling asleep.\nAvoid too many extracurricular activities. While it may be fun or exciting to have a schedule full of activities, free time and rest time are also important to children’s development. Less time spent on extracurriculars is also associated with more sleep-in adolescents.\nLimit napping. Napping in adolescents is linked to shorter and poorer sleep at night. Naps should not be taken if they interfere with sleep at night. However, if your child needs to nap in order to function well for the rest of the day, try to keep the naps less than 30 minutes long.\nAvoid caffeine. Caffeine is a stimulant found in soft drinks, coffee, tea, and energy drinks. Caffeine can keep your child alert and awake well after bedtime. The CDC does not recommend caffeine for children or adolescents and its intake should be limited.\nBedroom Tips for Quality Sleep\nA child’s sleep environment contributes to how well they sleep. Parents can take several steps to ensure their children have quality sleeping environments:\nKeep the room dark. Dark or heavy curtains can eliminate outside light.\nMake sure the room is cool. An environment that is too warm can keep your child awake.\nEliminate noises and keep the room quiet. Some children may desire a white noise machine or a fan to create a soothing sound, so they sleep distraction-free. Be sure to avoid noisy activities (such as vacuuming) in the evening when your children are trying to sleep.\nUse the bed only for sleep. Encourage your child to do homework, reading, and other activities in designated locations.\nBlue Light, Technology, and Sleep\nMultiple studies suggest that children exposed to blue light before bedtime experience poorer quality sleep. It is thought that blue light suppresses melatonin, the hormone that tells the body it’s time to sleep. Much research still needs to be done, but preliminary results indicate that screen usage delays bedtime and overall sleep time.\nTo avoid potential sleeping difficulties, encourage children to avoid the following in the hour before bedtime:\nComputers and laptops\nHandheld video game devices\nOther electronics that emit blue light\nGiving up devices before bed might be difficult for some children. Suggest alternative forms of relaxation, such as reading or journaling.\nDanielle Pacheco, Staff Writer\nDanielle writes in-depth articles about sleep solutions and holds a psychology degree from the University of British Columbia.\nDr. Nilong Vyas, Pediatrician\nDr. Vyas is a pediatrician and founder of Sleepless in NOLA.

Have you ever thought that for a friend or loved one? If they could get clean everything would be good in their life. What would life be like without that substance and without all that baggage that comes with it? At The Table, we think the problem goes deeper than just the substance. There’s a strong driving force that’s behind using those substances. Its pain, and addicts have learned to medicate their pain instead of facing their root cause. The tragic spiral is that there is no amount of meds on the planet able to take away the pain that an addict has beneath. So, if an addict stops medicating (using) they are still left with their underlying painful issues – the same issues that drove them to start using in the first place, and this is why just sobriety is not enough. While sobriety is necessary, sobriety without healing is not a good long term solution. Finding healing from those painful issues is one of our main goals at The Table.\nOn paper everyone’s pain looks different – it’s not necessarily on the same level, but its pain nonetheless. Everyone has an injury or an inner void, and maybe you don’t even know why or where it comes from. You may be more wired than other people to be an addict – like it’s in your DNA or you have an addictive personality, but it’s more than that. It’s because you have had trauma in your life, and you’ve learned to medicate those things. Difficult things have happened to you and you need to sort through those. You need healing, but in order to be healed you need a HEALER. We believe the only one that can truly heal us is Jesus. We can’t heal ourselves – we can injure ourselves, but not heal ourselves. God’s heart for us is to bring healing to us, and create life in our soul.\nWe’re aiming for more than sobriety at The Table. Instead of focusing primarily on NOT using we focus on getting healed from the why we used in the first place. Our aim is for healing which means we need to draw near to the Healer. Sobriety focus is about finding the right tools to quit and maintain not using. Healing focus (or better yet, HEALER focus) is about long term growth so that long term sobriety is a greater possibility.\nDo you want to be healed?\nThe first step toward healing IS sobriety and sometimes (most times) you need somebody to help you get to a safe place to begin sobriety. You cannot start healing and continue healing without sobriety. Healing is a good long-term goal that requires more than just stopping bad destructive behaviors. It requires embracing a whole new way of living and redefining who we really are. You find answers to those things by learning to walk a new life with Jesus.

Whether you're 4 years or 40 years old, an unexpected change in our routine can often leave us feeling anxious and overwhelmed. So when our boys began to show small signs they were feeling unsettled at the start of lockdown I wanted to find out how we could help them make sense of those feelings.\nI spoke to mindfulness expert Priya Khan and holistic therapist Hayley Everingham to get their thoughts on the importance of mindfulness and the benefits of a plant based lifestyle in keeping little minds healthy.\nSoon after lockdown began, I started to notice the boys' sleeping patterns had started to change. With all the family at home, bedtimes had crept later, our gratitude practice (where we each share something we're grateful for) had been forgotten and the eldest had even been found sleep walking on more than one occasion. The change in our daily routine was undoubtedly affecting them, but with our own feelings of overwhelm at the changing situation around us I was finding it difficult to reassure and calm them.\nMindfulness expert Priya Kahn told me \"One of the challenges as a parent is learning how to teach our children how to handle negative emotions in a positive way, rather than trying to always prevent our kids from ever getting upset. It’s important for kids to learn the right ways to respond when they feel overwhelmed so that they can manage emotional stress better in the future.\"\nShe explained \"Mindfulness tools can teach children how to understand their emotions and learn techniques to calm their bodies and minds. A good night’s sleep is important for us all, especially kids, as it helps keep them happy and healthy. Establishing a relaxing bedtime routine is one of the best ways to help kids get a good night's sleep and better manage their emotions the following day.\"\nHolistic therapist Hayley Everingham added \"I find a bedtime routine has always been really important to my boys. When we’re doing our mental wellbeing exercises - positive affirmations, gratitude lists and breathing practices - we have always done these alongside using essential oils in massage and room sprays. It never ceases to amaze me how a simple smell or sound can instantly transport us back to a place or feeling.\"\nHere, Priya and Hayley share their top 5 tips for getting children into a mindful bedtime routine, helping us all keep our minds healthy and hopefully get a better night's sleep.\nKeep a consistent routine\nWhen kids go to bed at roughly the same time each night, they settle into a rhythm. This makes it easier to fall asleep.\nOnce Hayley's boys have had a bedtime story they like to choose what oils they want in their diffusers. Both love lavender oil so they usually have this bubbling away in their Owl Feather diffusers. Not only does it calm the emotions of our little ones (and ourselves) it is also very soothing to tender skin.\nIf they are having a spate of bad dreams then Hayley makes her unique blend 'Monster away' spray before putting the story CD’s on. They enjoy the routine of spraying this around their room to protect them from any bad dreams and Hayley finds the visual act really helps to calm them.\nMinimise screen time before bed\nDid you know that mobile devices emit blue wavelengths of light that are particularly disruptive to the body’s sleep/wake cycle. That means that when they are held close to the face, the light enters your child’s eye and signals are sent to the brain to shut down the production of melatonin, which is the body’s natural sleep hormone. This can really disrupt the body clock and cause sleep delays and disruptions.\nInstead of watching the tablet or tv before bed, Priya suggests trying to listen to a guided meditation or podcast to relax the mind and reduce worries, anxiety or stress. Meditation is known as one of the most well-known ways of relaxing the body. It can be difficult for kids to settle their bodies and minds, especially when they are upset, which is why guided meditations can be beneficial. Visualizing a calm and safe space & dipping into all the senses allows our bodies to slow down and enter a more restful state.\nEncourage conversation & breathing techniques\nPriya encourages us to open up conversation with your children, encouraging them to share any worries or concerns they may have with you. If they struggle with this, try introducing a worry teddy or comforter, or perhaps suggest they start a worry journal or jar - they can write down or share with the teddy anything that is playing on their mind to lighten their load.\nSimple techniques such as taking long deep breaths - breathing from the diaphragm or stomach – also send signals to your body that it’s time to slow down. When we feel anxious, stressed or upset our breathing naturally becomes more rapid and shallow. By simply slowing down our breathing, the feeling of being ‘out of control’ gradually dissipates. Hayley suggests trying to fill your mind with positive thoughts, breathing in for 4 seconds, holding for 4 and then slowly breathing away all the anxious energy for 6 seconds.\nCreate a calming environment\nHow is the lighting, temperature, scent, noise?

Rapid research resulted in the characterization of the pathogen, which appeared to be a member of the SARS-like cluster, commonly seen in bats. Despite the global and local efforts, the virus escaped the healthcare measures and rapidly spread in China and later globally, officially causing a pandemic and global crisis in March 2020. At present, different scenarios are being written to contain the virus, but the development of novel anticoronavirals for all highly pathogenic coronaviruses remains the major challenge. Here, we describe the antiviral activity of previously developed by us HTCC compound (N-(2-hydroxypropyl)-3-trimethylammonium chitosan chloride), which may be used as potential inhibitor of currently circulating highly pathogenic coronaviruses – SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV.INTRODUCTION\nCoronaviruses mainly cause respiratory and enteric diseases in humans, other mammals, and birds. However, some species can cause more severe conditions such as hepatitis, peritonitis, or neurological disease. Seven coronaviruses infect humans, four of which (human coronavirus [HCoV]-229E, HCoV-NL63, HCoV-OC43, and HCoV-HKU1) cause relatively mild upper and lower respiratory tract disease. Other three zoonotic coronaviruses – the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronaviruses (SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2) and the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) are associated with severe, life-threatening respiratory infections and multiorgan failure 1–7.\nSARS-CoV-2 emerged in the Hubei province of China by the end of 2019 and caused an epidemic that was partially contained in China by March 2020. However, the virus rapidly spread globally and caused the pandemic 8. SARS-CoV-2 is a betacoronavirus and belongs to a large cluster of SARS-like viruses in bats, classified in Sarbecovirus subgenus. While bats are considered to be the original reservoir, it is believed that there is an intermediate host, and pangolins were suggested as such 9. The virus is associated with a respiratory illness that, in a proportion of cases, is severe. The mortality rate varies between locations, but at present, is estimated to reach 3-4% globally. The virus infects primarily ciliated cells and type II pneumocytes in human airways, hijacking the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) to enter the cell, similarly as SARS-CoV and HCoV-NL63.\nMERS-CoV is related to SARS-CoV-2, but together with some bat viruses forms a separate Merbecovirus subgenus. Bats are believed to serve as an original reservoir also in this case 10, but camels were identified as the intermediate host 11. The virus never fully crossed the species border, as the human-to-human transmission is limited, and almost all the cases are associated with animal-to-human transmission. The entry receptor for MERS-CoV is the dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) 12,13. In humans, MERS-CoV causes a respiratory illness with severity varying from asymptomatic to potentially fatal acute respiratory distress 14–16. To date, MERS-CoV infection was confirmed in 27 countries, with over 2,000 cases and a mortality rate of ~35%.\nCurrently, there are no vaccines or drugs with proven efficacy to treat coronavirus infection, and treatment is limited to supportive care. However, a range of therapeutics have been experimentally used in clinic to treat SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV-infected patients, and their use is based on the knowledge obtained in previous years. The most promising drug candidates include broad-spectrum polymerase inhibitors (remdesivir) 17 and some re-purposed drugs (e.g., HIV-1 protease inhibitors). However, until today none of these has proven effective in randomized controlled trials. On the other hand, the antiviral potential of several small molecules have been demonstrated in cell lines in vitro, but their effectiveness in vivo have not been confirmed 18,19. For the ones that reached animal models, some promising drug candidates have been shown to exacerbate the disease (ribavirin, mycophenolic acid) 20.\nDrug development for SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV is of great importance, but considering the diversity of coronaviruses and the proven propensity to cross the species barrier, the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic is probably not the last one. Warnings about the possibility of another SARS-CoV epidemic have appeared in the scientific literature for a long time 21. Consequently, broad-spectrum antivirals are essential in long-term perspective.\nPreviously, we have demonstrated an antiviral potential of the HTCC polymer (N-(2-hydroxypropyl)-3-trimethylammonium chitosan chloride), which efficiently hampered infection of all low pathogenic human coronaviruses in vitro and ex vivo 22 and several animal coronaviruses (unpublished data). Furthermore, using several functional and structural assays, we dissected the mechanism of the HTCC antiviral activity. We showed that the polymer interacts with the coronaviral Spike (S) protein and blocks its interaction with the cellular receptor 22–24. Here, we analyzed the HTCC activity against SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV in vitro using permissive cell lines and ex vivo, using a model of human airway epithelium (HAE). The study showed that the replication of both viruses was efficiently hampered. Overall, our data show that HTCC polymers are potent broad-spectrum anticoronavirals and may be very promising drug candidates for SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV.RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONHTCCs hamper MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 replication in cell lines\nPreviously, we showed that HTCC with different degrees of substitution (DSs) is a potent inhibitor of all four low pathogenic HCoVs 22. DSs are expressed as the fraction of NH2 groups of gluocosamine units in chitosan substituted with glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride (GTMAC). The DS of the studied HTCC polymers varied between 57% and 77%; thus, the polymers were named HTCC-57, HTCC-62, HTCC-63, HTCC-65, and HTCC-77. The synthesis and characterization of polymers are described elsewhere 22,23. The analysis showed that HTCC-63 demonstrated the most significant inhibitory effect on HCoV-NL63, HCoV-OC43, and HCoV-HKU1. On the other hand, HTCC-62 and HTCC-77 proved to be effective inhibitors of HCoV-229E infection. Further, HTCC-65 effectively inhibited the replication of HCoV-NL63 and HCoV-OC43, while HTCC-62 showed a potent antiviral effect on HCoV-HKU1 infection.\nThe study on the MERS-CoV using the Vero cells revealed that all HTCC variants inhibit virus replication to a similar extent (~100-1000-time decrease in viral yields), at non-toxic concentration (Figure 1A, C). The inhibition of the SARS-CoV-2 infection in Vero E6 cells was even more pronounced, and all HTCC variants inhibited virus replication by ~10,000 times at non-toxic concentration (Figure 1B, C). In this case, the HTCC-63 was arbitrarily selected for further studies on MERS-CoV, while HTCC-77 was selected for SARS-CoV-2.biorxiv;2020.03.29.014183v1/FIG1F1fig1Figure 1.<italic toggle= »yes »>In vitro</italic> inhibition of MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 by HTCC at non toxic concentration.\nVero cells were infected with MERS-CoV (A), and Vero E6 cells were infected with SARS-CoV-2 (B). Briefly, cultures were inoculated with a given virus in the presence of HTCC (100 μg/ml) or control PBS. Replication of viruses was evaluated at 48 h post-inoculation using RT-qPCR. The data are presented as Log Removal Value (LRV) compared to the untreated sample. The assay was performed in triplicate, and average values with standard errors are shown. (C) Cytotoxicity of HTCCs with DS ranging from 57% to 77% in vitro at 100 μg/ml. Cell viability was assessed with XTT assay. Data on the y-axis represent the percentage of values obtained for the untreated reference samples. All assays were performed in triplicate, and average values with standard errors are presented. The differences in cytotoxicity of HTCCs were not statistically significant.\nNext, the dose-dependence was tested for the HTCCs. The inhibitory activity of selected polymers was verified for three different concentrations, and obtained data are shown in Figure 2.biorxiv;2020.03.29.014183v1/FIG2F2fig2Figure 2.Dose-dependent inhibition of MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 replication.\nVero (MERS-CoV) or Vero E6 cells (SARS-CoV-2) were inoculated with a given virus in the presence of different concentrations of HTCC. Replication of viruses was evaluated at 48 h post-inoculation using RT-qPCR. The data are presented as Log Removal Value (LRV) compared to the untreated sample. The assay was performed in triplicate, and average values with standard errors are displayed.\nBased on the data obtained, the basic parameters were calculated and are presented in Table 1.biorxiv;2020.03.29.014183v1/TBL1T1tbl1Table 1.\n50% Cytotoxic concentration (CC50), 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50), and the selectivity index (SI) of two most effective HTCCs: HTCC-63 (for MERS-CoV) and HTCC-77 (for SARS-CoV-2).\nThe parameters observed for the SARS-CoV-2 appear to be favorable with SI above 12. It is also worth to note that HTCC was previously administered by inhalation in rats, and no adverse reactions were observed 25. In that study, HTCC was used as a carrier for the active substance, and as such, was reported to be promising for local sustained inhalation therapy of pulmonary diseases.HTCCs hamper MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 replication in human airway epithelium\nWhile the Vero cells constitute a convenient model for antiviral research, it is of utmost importance to verify whether the results obtained are not biased due to the artificial system used. This is especially important for compounds, which activity is based on electrostatic interaction. To verify whether the natural microenvironment, which is rich in sugars and charged molecules, does not abrogate the effectiveness of the inhibitors, we employed HAE cultures that mirror the fully differentiated layer linng the conductive airways, as well as the site of coronavirus replication. Briefly, fully differentiated HAE cultures were infected with a given virus 26 in the presence of previously selected HTCCs (200 μg/ml) or control PBS. Following inoculation, apical lavage samples were collected daily, and replication kinetics for each virus was investigated. The analysis revealed that the polymer efficiently hampered SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV also in this model. For MERS-CoV, the inhibitory effect was the most evident at 72 h p.i., while for SARS-CoV-2 the most substantial decline of virus progeny was observed at 24 h p.i. (Figure 3). Whether such kinetics will be reflected in vivo it is to be investigated.biorxiv;2020.03.29.014183v1/FIG3F3fig3Figure 3.<italic toggle= »yes »>Ex vivo</italic> inhibition of MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 by HTCC in human airway epithelium cultures.\nHAE cultures were exposed to MERS-CoV or SARS-CoV-2 in the presence of HTCC-63 (for MERS-CoV) or HTCC-77 (for SARS-CoV-2) at 200 μg/ml or control PBS. To analyze virus replication kinetics, each day post infection, 100 μl of 1 × PBS was applied to the apical surface of HAE cultures and collected after 10 min of incubation at 37°C. Replication of viruses was evaluated using quantitative RT-qPCR. The data are presented as Log Removal Value (LRV) compared to the untreated sample. The assay was performed in triplicate, and average values with standard errors are shown.HTCCs inhibits MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 entry into susceptible cells\nOur previous research showed that the HTCC-mediated inhibition of coronaviral replication results from the electrostatic interaction between the polymer and the Spike protein of coronaviruses. We hypothesize that the selectivity of the inhibitors yields from the fitting charge distributions on the polymer and on the S proteins on the viral surface. While the interaction of a single charged moiety is relatively weak, the concatemeric nature of the virus and the polymer stabilizes the binding. Such structure-based interaction may be an interesting entry point for further fine-tuning of the polymeric inhibitors of viral replication.\nTo ensure that the observed effect was a result of coronavirus entry inhibition by HTCC, two experiments were performed. First, HAE cultures were inoculated with MERS-CoV in the presence of HTCC-63 (200 μg/ml) or control PBS and incubated for 2 h at 37°C. Next, cells were fixed, immunostained for MERS-CoV N protein and actin. Virus entry was analyzed with confocal microscopy. To visualize the effect, the signal attributed to intracellular MERS-CoV was quantified, and the results show that the internalization of MERS-CoV was drastically decreased (Figure 4A).biorxiv;2020.03.29.014183v1/FIG4F4fig4Figure 4.Coronavirus internalization into susceptible cells is hampered by HTCC.\n(A) Pre-cooled HAE cultures were incubated with ice-cold MERS-CoV suspension in the presence or absence of HTCC-63 (200 μg/ml) for 2 h at 37°C. Next, cells were fixed in PFA and immunostained for MERS-CoV N protein and actin. Virus entry was analyzed with confocal microscopy. The data shown are representative of three independent experiments, each performed in triplicate. * P < 0.05. (B) A549 cells overexpressing ACE2 were incubated with lentiviral particles bearing GFP reporter gene, pseudotyped with SARS-CoV-2 Spike (S-SARS-CoV-2), VSV control G protein (VSV-G) or particles without an envelope protein (∆Env) in the presence of HTCC-77 or control PBS. After 2 h at 37°C cells were washed with PBS and overlaid with fresh medium. Following 72 h incubation, GFP signal was measured using fluorometer and pseudovirus entry is presented as Relative Fluorescence Units per ml. The assay was performed in triplicate, and average values with standard errors are presented. ** P < 0.005.\nDue to the limited availability of tools for the SARS-CoV-2 we were not able to replicate the experiment for this virus. Here, we employed a surrogate system based on lentiviral vectors pseudotyped with full-length Spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. A549 cells overexpressing the ACE2 protein were incubated with pseudovirions harboring SARS-CoV-2 Spike or control VSV-G protein in the presence of HTCC-77 (100 μg/ml) or control PBS for 2 h at 37°C. After 72 h p.i. cells were lysed, and pseudovirus entry was quantified by measurement of the reporter GFP protein. The analysis showed a significant reduction in SARS-CoV-2 Spike pseudoviruses internalization in the presence of the polymer, while no inhibition was observed for the control VSV-G (Figure 4B).\nNext, to verify whether the mechanism of action for the highly pathogenic betacoronaviruses is similar to that observed for alphacoronaviruses 22, and is based on locking the interaction between the virus and the entry receptor, we analyzed MERS-CoV co-localization with its entry receptor, DPP4 in the presence or absence of the HTCC. For this, human cell line Huh7 was inoculated with the virus or mock in the presence of HTCC-63 (100 μg/ml) or control PBS and incubated for 2 h at 4°C. Subsequently, cells were fixed and immunostained for the DPP4 and MERS-CoV N using specific antibodies. Virus co-localization with its receptor was examined using confocal microscopy. Obtained results demonstrated that in the control samples, virions co-localize with the DPP4 protein, while in the presence of the polymer, this interaction is blocked (Figure 5).biorxiv;2020.03.29.014183v1/FIG5F5fig5Figure 5.HTCC blocks interaction between the virus and its entry receptor.\nPre-cooled Huh7 cells were incubated for 3 h at 4°C with ice-cold MERS-CoV or mock in the presence or absence of HTCC-63 (100 μg/ml). Next, cells were fixed with PFA and immunostained for MERS-CoV-N (green), DPP4 (red) and nuclear DNA (blue). MERS-CoV interaction with the DPP4 protein was analyzed with confocal microscopy. Co-localisation of DPP4 with MERS-CoV-N was determined by confocal microscopy and is presented as Manders’ M2 coefficient. The decrease in colocalization was statistically significant (P < 0.0005). Each image represents maximum projection of axial planes. Representative images are shown.\nTaking together, we show here that the previously developed and described polymeric HTCC anticoronaviral compounds based on chitosan are able to efficiently inhibit infection with emerging coronaviruses. We believe that the HTCC can be fine-tuned to target any coronavirus, and this interaction is specific to viruses that belong to the Coronaviridae family. One may speculate that the inhibition results from the concatemeric nature of the virus surface and the fact that the polymer with appropriate charge distribution can interact with multiple sites on this surface. While the interaction of the monomer is relatively weak, and no inhibition is observable for monomers, the sum of interactions stabilizes the binding and specific inhibition is observed. Considering that the extended chain length for the HTCC used is ~700 nm this scenario seems realistic 27. If that would be true, HTCC would constitute a first structure-specific inhibitor of viral replication. The major disadvantage of the HTCC is that, at present, it is not registered for use in humans. However, previous experience with HTCC in different laboratories shows that it may be delivered topically to the lungs, it is not associated with toxicity, and it does not worsen the lung function 25. We believe that HTCC is a promising drug candidate that should be further studied, as it provides a ready-to-use solution for SARS-CoV-2 and future emerging coronaviruses.MATERIALS AND METHODSThe active compound\nThe HTCC was prepared in the same manner as previously described 22,23,28.Plasmid constructs\nThe codon-optimised full-length SARS-CoV-2 S gene was designed and purchased from GeneArt (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Poland). The gene was cloned into pCAGGS vector sequence verified that was a gift from Xingchuan Huang. psPAX (Addgene plasmid # 12260) and pMD2G (Addgene plasmid # 12259) was a gift from Didier Trono. Lego-G2 vector (Addgene plasmid #25917) was a gift from Boris Fehs.Cell culture\nVero and Vero E6 (Cercopithecus aethiops; kidney epithelial; ATCC: CCL-81 and CRL-1586), Huh7 (Homo sapiens; hepatocellular carcinoma; ECACC: 01042712) and A549 cells with ACE2 overexpression (A549/ACE2)29 were cultured in Dulbecco’s MEM (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Poland) supplemented with 3% fetal bovine serum (heat-inactivated; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Poland) and antibiotics: penicillin (100 U/ml), streptomycin (100 μg/ml), and ciprofloxacin (5 μg/ml). Cells were maintained at 37°C under 5% CO2.Human airway epithelium (HAE) cultures\nHuman airway epithelial cells were isolated from conductive airways resected from transplant patients. The study was approved by the Bioethical Committee of the Medical University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland (approval no: KNW/0022/KB1/17/10 dated 16.02.2010). Written consent was obtained from all patients. Cells were dislodged by protease treatment, and later mechanically detached from the connective tissue. Further, cells were trypsinized and transferred onto permeable Transwell insert supports (ϕ = 6.5 mm). Cell differentiation was stimulated by the media additives and removal of media from the apical side after the cells reached confluence. Cells were cultured for 4-6 weeks to form well-differentiated, pseudostratified mucociliary epithelium. All experiments were performed in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations.Cell viability assay\nHAE cultures were prepared as described above. Cell viability assay was performed by using the XTT Cell Viability Assay (Biological Industries, Israel) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. On the day of the assay, 100 μl of the 1 × PBS with the 50 μl of the activated XTT solution was added to each well/culture insert. Following 2 h incubation at 37°C, the solution was transferred onto a 96-well plate, and the signal was measured at λ = 490 nm using the colorimeter (Spectra MAX 250, Molecular Devices). The obtained results were further normalized to the control sample, where cell viability was set to 100%.Virus preparation and titration\nMERS-CoV stock (isolate England 1, 1409231v, National Collection of Pathogenic Viruses, Public Health England, United Kingdom) was generated by infecting monolayers of Vero cells. SARS-CoV-2 stock (isolate 026V-03883; kindly granted by Christian Drosten, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Germany by the European Virus Archive – Global (EVAg); https://www.european-virus-archive.com/) was generated by infecting monolayers of Vero E6 cells. The virus-containing liquid was collected at day 3 post-infection (p.i.), aliquoted and stored at −80°C. Control Vero or Vero E6 cell lysate from mock-infected cells was prepared in the same manner. Virus yield was assessed by titration on fully confluent Vero or Vero E6 cells in 96-well plates, according to the method of Reed and Muench. Plates were incubated at 37°C for 3 days and the cytopathic effect (CPE) was scored by observation under an inverted microscope.Virus infection\nIn in vitro experiments, fully confluent Vero, Vero E6, or Huh7 cells in 96-well plates (TPP) were exposed to MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2 or mock at a TCID50 of 400 per ml in the presence of tested polymer or control medium. Following a 2 h incubation at 37°C, unbound virions were removed by washing with 100 μl of 1 × PBS and fresh medium containing dissolved respective polymer was added to each well. Samples of cell culture supernatant were collected at day 3 p.i. and analyzed using RT-qPCR.\nFor the ex vivo study, fully differentiated human airway epithelium (HAE) cultures were exposed to the tested polymer or control PBS for 30 min at 37°C, following inoculation with MERS-CoV or SARS-CoV-2 at a TCID50 of 400 per ml in the presence of the polymer or control PBS. Following 2 h incubation at 37°C, unbound virions were removed by washing with 200 μl of 1 × PBS and HAE cultures were maintained at an air—liquid interphase for the rest of the experiment. To analyze virus replication kinetics, each day p.i., 100 μl of 1 × PBS was applied at the apical surface of HAE and collected following the 10 min incubation at 32°C. All samples were stored at −80°C and analyzed using RT-qPCR.Isolation of nucleic acids and reverse transcription (RT)\nViral DNA/RNA Kit (A&A Biotechnology, Poland) was used for nucleic acid isolation from cell culture supernatants, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. cDNA samples were prepared with a High Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Poland), according to the manufacturer’s instructions.Quantitative PCR (qPCR)\nViral RNA yield was assessed using real-time PCR (7500 Fast Real-Time PCR; Life Technologies, Poland). cDNA was amplified in a reaction mixture containing 1 × qPCR Master Mix (A&A Biotechnology, Poland), in the presence of probe (100 nM) and primers (450 nM each).biorxiv;2020.03.29.014183v1/TBL1AT2tbl1aTable 1.Primers and probes.\nThe reaction was carried out according to the scheme: 2 min at 50°C and 10 min at 92°C, followed by 40 cycles of 15 s at 92°C and 1 min at 60°C. In order to assess the copy number for N gene, DNA standards were prepared, as described before 26.Immunostaining and confocal imaging\nFixed cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in 1 × PBS and incubated overnight at 4°C in 1× PBS supplemented with 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 0.5% Tween 20. To visualize MERS-CoV particles, cells were incubated for 2 h at room temperature with mouse anti-MERS-CoV N IgGs (1:000 dilution, Sino Biological, China), followed by 1 h of incubation with Alexa Fluor 488-labeled goat anti-mouse IgG (2.5 µg/ml; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Poland). Actin filaments was stained using phalloidin coupled with Alexa Fluor 633 (0.2 U/ml; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Poland). Nuclear DNA was stained with DAPI (4’,6’-diamidino-2-phenylindole) (0.1 µg/ml; Sigma-Aldrich, Poland). Immunostained cultures were mounted on glass slides in ProLong Gold antifade medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Poland). Fluorescent images were acquired under a Leica TCS SP5 II confocal microscope (Leica Microsystems GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) and a Zeiss LSM 710 confocal microscope (Carl Zeiss Microscopy GmbH). Images were acquired using Leica Application Suite Advanced Fluorescence LAS AF v. 2.2.1 (Leica Microsystems CMS GmbH) or ZEN 2012 SP1 software (Carl Zeiss Microscopy GmbH) deconvolved with Huygens Essential package version 4.4 (Scientific Volume Imaging B.V., The Netherlands) and processed using ImageJ 1.47v (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA). At the time of the study, no antibodies specific to SARS-CoV-2 were available to us.Pseudovirus production and transduction\n293T cells were seeded on 10 cm2 dishes, cultured for 24 h at 37°C with 5% CO2 and transfected using polyethyleneimine (Sigma-Aldrich, Poland) with the lentiviral packaging plasmid (psPAX), the VSV-G envelope plasmid (pMD2G) or SARS-CoV-2 S glycoprotein (pCAGGS-SARS-CoV-2-S) and third plasmid encoding GFP protein (Lego-G2). Cells were further cultured for 72 h at 37°C with 5% CO2 and pseudoviruses were collected every 24 h and stored at 4°C.\nA549/ACE2 cells were seeded in 48-wells plates, cultured for 24 h at 37°C with 5% CO2 and transduced with pseudoviruses harboring VSV-G or S-SARS-CoV-2 proteins or lacking the fusion protein (∆Env) in the presence of polybrene (4 µg/ml; Sigma-Aldrich, Poland) and HTCC-77 (100 μg/ml) or control PBS. After 4 h incubation at 37°C unbound virions were removed by washing thrice with 1 × PBS and cells were further cultured for 72 h at 37°C with 5% CO2. Cells were lysed in RIPA buffer (50 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, 1% Nonidet P-40, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, pH 7.5) and transferred onto black 96-wells plates. Fluorescence levels were measured on a microplate reader Gemini EM (Molecular Devices, UK).Statistical analysis\nAll the experiments were performed in triplicate, and the results are presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD). To determine the significance of the obtained results Student t test was carried out.

I started attending personal trainings when, following spinal surgery, I had to rebuild the muscles around the base of the spine and improve my general fitness. Adnan showed a deep understanding of the biomechanics involved and designed a programme that started moderately and then increased in intensity. There was no undue pressure and I felt very comfortable returning to the gym. One of the great strengths of the studio is that there is a very sociable atmosphere and the only competition is with yourself! All the staff have a great sense of humour while remaining totally professional and focused. For me the sessions were as much psychological as physical as I worked my way back to full movement and capacity. All the staff really know what they are doing and their advanced level qualifications are evident in the way they work. After 6 months of slow but steady work, friends and colleagues were commenting on the evident change in my shape and posture. Last summer, the trainings took place outdoors at the athletics track, which was an added bonus. Frankly I should have taken this step and started regular trainings long ago and before surgery as it has done me a lot of good. Whatever your aims for physical fitness I have no hesitation in recommending Transform Studio and its excellent staff.", "domain": "health"}

Today, over 60 million people of all ages across the country are suffering from IBS, which is characterized by abdominal pain, bloating, and altered bowel habits. But because patients may find it difficult to discuss their bowel problems with their physicians, they often suffer in silence or even worse, “learn to live with it.”\nAccording to Dr. Mark Pimentel, Director of the Gastrointestinal Motility Program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the majority of IBS cases can be treated successfully. Dr. Pimentel believes that the root cause of most IBS symtoms can be attributed to an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine.

While both the feet and armpits contain apocrine glands, which produce sweat that can mix with bacteria and create an odor, the feet contain more eccrine glands, which produce a higher volume of sweat. This excess sweat can create a moist environment in shoes and socks, which can further promote bacterial growth and contribute to foot odor.\nIn addition, the feet are often covered in socks and shoes, which can trap moisture and sweat, making it difficult for the feet to breathe and further contributing to the growth of odor-causing bacteria. This can be exacerbated by certain footwear choices, such as closed-toe shoes or boots, which can trap heat and sweat and create an ideal environment for bacterial growth.\nAnother factor that can contribute to foot odor is the presence of fungi, such as athlete’s foot. Fungal infections can cause a foul smell, as well as itching and peeling of the skin.\nWhile both feet and armpits can develop unpleasant odors, the higher number of sweat glands in the feet, combined with the warm and moist environment created by socks and shoes, can make them more prone to developing a stronger and more persistent odor than the armpits.\nIn conclusion, while the exact causes of foot and armpit odor may vary from person to person, the higher number of sweat glands and the warm, moist environment of the feet make them more likely to develop a stronger and more persistent odor than the armpits.", "domain": "health"}

We recognize that proper nutrition is not only crucial for physical development but also for emotional and mental well-being. In this regard, we focus on two key aspects: nutritional education and the prevention of potential eating disorders.\nNutritional Education: Mindful Eating\nIn our centers, we dedicate time to impart fundamental knowledge about nutrition. Our approach goes beyond simply listing food groups or counting calories. We delve into the essence of nutrition, emphasizing the importance of a balanced and varied diet.\nWe teach children and adolescents to identify foods rich in essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Additionally, we educate them on the importance of maintaining proper hydration and how to choose fresh and natural foods over processed and ultra-processed ones. Through practical examples and interactive activities, we capture the attention of our young participants, making nutrition accessible and relevant to their daily lives.\nPrevention of Eating Disorders: Healthy Relationship with Food\nAlongside nutritional education, we care about the mental and emotional health of our young people and focus on preventing potential eating disorders.\nWe recognize that in today’s society, there is considerable pressure related to body image and food, especially among adolescents.\nWe work with participants to foster a positive and balanced relationship with food. This helps them understand the importance of listening to their bodies and recognizing hunger and satiety cues. We also address delicate issues such as the influence of media and social networks on body image perception and unrealistic beauty standards.\nThrough reflection exercises and open discussions, we create a safe space where young people can express their concerns and receive support. Our holistic approach promotes comprehensive well-being, recognizing the connection between mind, body, and spirit.\nEngaging Families: Extending Impact to Homes and Communities\nWe acknowledge that family influence is crucial in shaping healthy eating habits. Therefore, we extend our educational sessions to the families of our participants. We believe in the power of community learning and mutual support among family members, children, and educators.\nBy involving families, we strengthen the impact of our work, creating a supportive home environment that reinforces positive messages about food and well-being. We provide resources and practical tools for parents to promote a healthy relationship with food at home, from meal planning to food preparation and the encouragement of physical activity.\nAt the Rafael Nadal Foundation, we believe that healthy eating is more than just a list of foods we should or should not eat. It is a journey towards physical, emotional, and mental well-being.\nIn our centers, we provide the children and adolescents we serve with the necessary support to develop a positive and balanced relationship with food and their bodies.", "domain": "health"}

Factors influencing this situation include ergonomic injuries, needle stick injuries, increasing morbid obesity levels, and an aging workforce.\nENA will support federal legislation and programs aimed at reducing workplace injuries and illnesses for health care personnel and patients, while improving the safety of patient care delivery.\nEstablish Safe Emergency Department Staffing Guidelines\nMaintaining the appropriate level of emergency nurse staff is critical to the ability of emergency departments to provide quality healthcare for patients.\nAs such, ENA supports policies that empower nurses to create appropriate staffing plans specific to each emergency department. This approach recognizes the many factors that determine the appropriate level of staffing, as well as the flexibility needed to account for changing circumstances in emergency departments.\nIncrease Funding for Nursing Education and Training\nENA urges Congress to increase its investment to alleviate the growing nursing shortage that is impacting every aspect of the U.S. healthcare system and negatively affecting patient care.\nENA will support legislation that reauthorizes and funds the Nursing Workforce Development programs under Title VIII of the Public Health Service Act. The Title VIII programs provide the main federal funding for nursing education, practice, and retention.\nProtect and Recognize Emergency Nursing Scope of Practice\nENA will support public policies that remove restriction on the role and scope of practice of RNs and advance practice registered nurses (APRNs) in appropriate healthcare settings.\nENA will support legislation that allows APRNs to practice autonomously, and independently prescribe medication, and oppose restrictions on administering procedural sedation medications by qualified emergency department nurses. In addition, ENA will support legislation that recognizes APRNs as full practice providers in the Veterans Administration’s\nhealth care system.\nSupport Programs to Enhance Access and Improve Care for Mental Health Patients\nENA will support federal government initiatives aimed at enhancing access and improving care for mental health patients. Further, ENA supports policies that alleviate the holding or boarding of such patients in the emergency department.\nENA will support comprehensive mental health reform legislation, including bills that improve Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement for mental health services and enhance community-based resources for the mentally ill.\nIncrease support for trauma systems and trauma centers\nTrauma is the leading cause of death for people ages 1‐44, and 35 million people are treated for traumatic injuries every year. Nevertheless, more than 45 million people lack access within one hour to a trauma center able to treat severe traumatic injuries.\nENA will continue to fight for legislation and funding to improve the trauma care in the U.S. This includes both the development of optimally functioning trauma systems and quick access to state‐of‐the‐art trauma centers.\nMaintain funding for poison control centers\nAccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 40,000 people die annually from poisoning and approximately 2,000 are treated each day in emergency departments.\nENA will support programs and funding that provide resources for the nation’s 56 poison control centers.\nImprove treatment of patients who abuse prescription opioids and heroin\nThe U.S. is experiencing a historic epidemic in opioids and heroin abuse. In 2014, drug overdoses were the leading cause of accidental death in the U.S.\nENA will support comprehensive legislation to combat the ongoing national crisis of addiction to opioid drugs, including provisions to encourage states and local communities to pursue a full array of proven strategies to combat addiction and support individuals in recovery.\nFund Research to Improve the Delivery of Emergency Care\nENA will continue to strive for improved patient safety and enhanced quality of care by collaborating with appropriate stakeholders to promote and conduct research to enhance emergency care for all patients.\nENA was a strong advocate of the establishment in 2012 of the Office of Emergency Care Research (OECR) at the National Institutes of Health. The Office is a focal point for basic and clinical research on emergency care across NIH. ENA will continue to support the research initiatives and innovations fostered by OECR.\nIn addition, ENA will support the work of the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) at the National Institutes of Health and urges adequate federal funding for NINR within the overall NIH budget.\nContinue and expand federal research and support for pediatric emergency care\nENA will strongly support policies that will enhance emergency medical services for children. As such, ENA urges Congress to continue to support the Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) program at the Health Resources and Service Administration. EMSC, which has provided funds to every state, is the only federal program dedicated to improving emergency care for children.\nENA will support legislation that reauthorizes and provides adequate federal funding for the EMSC program.", "domain": "health"}

Strict avoidance of food allergens — and early recognition and management of allergic reactions to food — are important measures to prevent serious health consequence.\nWhile more than 160 foods can cause allergic reactions in people with food allergies, the law identifies the eight most common allergenic foods. These foods account for 90 percent of food allergic reactions, and are the food sources from which many other ingredients are derived.The eight foods identified by the law are:\n- Fish (e.g., bass, flounder, cod)\n- Crustacean shellfish (e.g., crab, lobster, shrimp)\n- Tree nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, pecans)\nThese eight foods, and any ingredient that contains protein derived from one or more of them, are designated as “major food allergens” by FALCPA.\nFDA’s Role: Labeling\nTo help Americans avoid the health risks posed by food allergens, FDA enforces the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 (the Act). The Act applies to the labeling of foods regulated by FDA which includes all foods except poultry, most meats, certain egg products, and most alcoholic beverages which are regulated by other Federal agencies. The Act requires that food labels must clearly identify the food source names of any ingredients that are one of the major food allergens or contain any protein derived from a major food allergen.As a result, food labels help allergic consumers identify offending foods or ingredients so they can more easily avoid them.\nVideo: Food Allergies – Reducing the Risks\nSevere Food Allergies Can Be Life-Threatening\nFollowing ingestion of a food allergen(s), a person with food allergies can experience a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction called anaphylaxis.\nThis can lead to:\n- constricted airways in the lungs\n- severe lowering of blood pressure and shock (“anaphylactic shock”)\n- suffocation by swelling of the throat\nEach year in the U.S., it is estimated that anaphylaxis to food results in:\n- 30,000 emergency room visits\n- 2,000 hospitalizations\n- 150 deaths\nPrompt administration of epinephrine by autoinjector (e.g., Epi-pen) during early symptoms of anaphylaxis may help prevent these serious consequences.\nKnow the Symptoms\nSymptoms of food allergies typically appear from within a few minutes to 2 hours after a person has eaten the food to which he or she is allergic. Allergic reactions can include:\n- Flushed skin or rash\n- Tingling or itchy sensation in the mouth\n- Face, tongue, or lip swelling\n- Vomiting and/or diarrhea\n- Abdominal cramps\n- Coughing or wheezing\n- Dizziness and/or lightheadedness\n- Swelling of the throat and vocal cords\n- Difficulty breathing\n- Loss of consciousness\nMild Symptoms Can Become More Severe\nInitially mild symptoms that occur after ingesting a food allergen are not always a measure of mild severity. In fact, if not treated promptly, these symptoms can become more serious in a very short amount of time, and could lead to anaphylaxis.\nFood Allergy Training – Federal & General Resources\n- AAAAI/ACAAI Practice Parameters\n- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\n- Department of Agriculture\n- Department of Health and Human Services\n- Food Allergies – Healthfinder\n- European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: International Consensus (ICON) Papers\n- FDA – Food Allergens\n- FDA – Food Allergen Labeling & Consumer Protection Act – FAQs\n- National Institutes of Health (NIH)\n- Food Allergy – National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)\n- Addendum Guidelines for the Prevention of Peanut Allergy (2017)\n- National Institute for Allergy & Infectious Diseases: Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Food Allergy in the United States: Summary for Patients, Families and Caregivers (May 2011)\n- National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health: Food Allergy\n- National Library of Medicine", "domain": "health"}

Patricia (Pat) Cloonan, Ph.D., RN, Dean of the SNHS, has informed me that she will conclude her term of service as Dean and return to the faculty at the end of this summer. Pat has provided leadership for the SNHS since 2014, first in an interim capacity and for the last three years as Dean of SNHS. I am deeply grateful to Pat for her steadfast commitment to our Georgetown community, and I wish to express my most sincere appreciation for all she has done for the SNHS community over the past five years.\nDuring her time as Dean, Pat strengthened both our undergraduate and graduate programs, advanced our commitment to academic excellence, and oversaw the launch of several new academic programs, including the Executive Master of Science in Health Systems Administration, the Clinical Nurse Leader Master of Science, the Doctor of Nursing Practice, and the Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice. During her tenure, applications to the SNHS have risen to record- breaking numbers, and she has also provided tremendous leadership in growing our online nursing education program, which has enabled more than 1,000 advanced nursing leaders to obtain degrees over the last eight years, many of whom have gone on to provide critically needed care in medically underserved areas.\nPat has been deeply engaged in strengthening our work to promote health equity, and better understand the social determinants that have perpetuated health inequality for vulnerable communities on a local and national level. She has continued to pursue her scholarly work on improving health literacy and developing equitable systems of care. She directs a funded project focused on developing new models for engaging community health workers in the District of Columbia. Under her leadership, graduates of our SNHS have pursued careers oriented towards service, guided by an enduring commitment to health access, equity, and quality.\nPrior to her tenure as Dean, Pat had already been a distinguished member of our Georgetown community for more than 20 years. As chair and associate professor of Health Systems Administration, she helped launch the Georgetown University Open School Chapter of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, leading students through projects related to quality improvement and patient safety. For many years, she also co-led the Health Care Leadership Institute with colleagues from the McDonough School of Business. She has served on a wide range of community boards, including MedStar Georgetown University Hospital.\nOver the course of her decades with our University, Pat has left an indelible mark on our students and faculty who are dedicated to pursuing careers in healthcare. She has grounded our work in the conviction that health is inextricably linked to the ability to flourish, and has inspired many of our students to not only provide care to individual patients, but to strive to enact system-wide change on a policy level. In 2014, Pat was recognized with the Georgetown University Medical Center’s Outstanding Service Award. In 2018, she received the Distinguished Healthcare Leader Award from the National Association of Health Services Executives.\nIn the time ahead, Dr. Edward B. Healton, Executive Vice President for Health Sciences and Executive Dean of our School of Medicine, and I will share a plan for interim leadership as we begin a search for Pat’s successor. I look forward to the opportunity to come together as a community and recognize the many ways that Pat has enriched and strengthened our School of Nursing and Health Studies, and our University.\nPlease join me in expressing our appreciation to Pat, for her tireless efforts and her continuing dedication to our Georgetown community, as she prepares to conclude her service as Dean.\nJohn J.

Ticks can carry many diseases like Lyme disease and tapeworms into your house, which can make both you and your pets very ill. There are many simple things you can do to protect your dogs and cats from ticks. Read on to learn more.\nMedications, such as ones that you give your dog orally are helpful in preventing ticks. There is also spot on treatment, which is a liquid that you apply to the back of your pets and provide month-long protection. However, oral treatments carry fewer risks than spot treatments because spot treatments can be dangerous for small children who come into contact with them.\nShampoo is another method of protecting your dog from ticks. A tick shampoo usually kills ticks upon contact, but you will need to wash your dog often because the active ingredients in tick shampoos are not as long lasting as the oral medicine.\nCats vs. Dogs\nCats are a bit different than dogs, so before using any medications of these types on your cats, you should consult your veterinarian. Cats are much more sensitive to the chemicals in these medications than dogs may be. Many pet owners opt for a tick collar for their pets in the summer months. Safe to use, these collars are often only effective to prevent ticks on your pet’s head and neck.\nIt is also important to protect your house as well. Start by vacuuming the carpets in your house and by washing your pet’s bedding as well as any fabric where they may spend time. If you have a serious tick infestation, you can consider having your lawn and home sprayed. There are several classes of pesticides that can help control the remaining number of ticks in your yard and help keep any new ticks away.\nProtecting your pets from ticks will help protect your family from the diseases that ticks carry, and there are many options for the treatment of tick infestations.

Glaser, MD.\nDepression treatment often, but not always,\nincludes medication. Talk therapy should always\nbe a part of medication treatment. In children, the\nrisks versus benefits of medication are not as clear\nas in adults. So medication is not as often\nprescribed for depressed children, but sometimes\nit is needed and is helpful. Generally speaking,\nmost medications for depression are also first line\ntreatment for anxiety. The neuro-chemicals, and\nnerve cells involved in depression and anxiety are\nThis report will describe when antidepressant\nmedications (abbreviated ADmeds) are required\nfor successful treatment of depression and list\nhow the ADmeds (antidepressant medications)\nwork and their side effects.\nAntidepressant meds (ADmeds) treat depression,\nanxiety, panic attacks, obsessive compulsive\ndisorder, chronic pain and fibromyalgia, migraine\nhead aches, and bed wetting.\nWhy bother treating depression?\nDepression is a serious neurologic condition.\nDepression is not healthy for the brain itself.\nDepression and anxiety both lead to nerve cell\ndeterioration and eventual nerve cell death. This\nmeans, the depressed or anxious brain shrinks or\natrophies as we say in the medical field. The\nlonger a person is depressed, or the more\nepisodes of depression a person has, the more the\nbrain shrinks. Additionally, the longer a person is\ndepressed, and the more episodes of depression a\nperson has, the harder the depression is to treat\nand also there is less robust a recovery. Therefore,\na person should treat their depression sooner\nrather than later, and prevent further episodes of\ndepression from occurring.\nReversing the depression leads to nerve cell re-\ngrowth. That is why medication takes weeks to\nwork. The medication stimulates the nerve cells\nto re-grow and reverse the depression. The\nmedication also seems to prevent nerve cell death,\nthus preventing the return of depressive\nWhat about the risk of suicide with antidepressant\nThere has been much in the news about suicide\nbeing linked to ADmed treatment. This has lead to\nless ADmeds being\nprescribed to children. While the number of\nprescriptions to children has gone down, the rate\nof suicide attempts has gone up. This may or may\nnot be coincidence. My own clinical experience is\nthat as long as we guard against bipolar disorder\n(manic depression), then the risk of suicide\nworsening with ADmeds is very very very low. I\nhave yet to see this occur in all my years of\npractice and training. ADmeds can worsen mania\nin a bipolar patient, causing a loss of rational\nthinking. Thus, one must screen for bipolar\ndisorder in all patients presenting with\ndepression. There is a much greater risk of suicide\nin an untreated depressed patient than in one\ntreated with meds in my clinical opinion.\nHowever, in children the benefits of medication\nfor depression are not clear cut and therefore\nmore rigid guidelines are used in deciding\nwhether or not to prescribe ADmeds for kids.\nWho needs medication?\nAny adult diagnosed with major depression can\nbenefit from ADmeds. Many adults and children\nwith depression can get well with talk therapy\nalone. Here are the factors I have determined,\nafter review of the literature and my clinical\nexperience, that necessitate medication treatment.\n1. More than one episode of major depression 2.\nStrong family history of depression or anxiety or\npanic or other serious psychiatric illness. 3.\nFailure to get better after 3 months of talk therapy.\nEach of these criteria indicate a need for\nHow long do I take antidepressant medications\nADmeds should be taken for at least one year or\nlonger. If multiple family members suffer from\ndepression, or if you have tried to stop taking\nmedication but symptoms of depression have\nreturned, than that is a sign that ADmeds will be\nneeded for many years, possibly life long. Some\npeople look at taking medications as a crutch and\nare afraid that if they start taking ADmeds, then\nthey will become dependent on meds forever. I\nlook at this reasoning as similar to treatment of\nhigh blood pressure. Some people with high\nblood pressure can indeed cure their disease with\ndiet and exercise. Some people with depression\ncan cure their disease with talk therapy and life\nstyle changes. If you can do that then fine, but if\nyou can't , and you let your symptoms become\nchronic, then successful treatment with\nmedication will become less likely the longer you\nwait to take medication. If you have had more\nthan one episode of depression, the odds are that\nyou will experience more episodes, and each\nepisode will become longer, more severe, and less\ntreatable. Therefore, taking ADmeds even after\nsymptoms have resolved is important at\npreventing a recurrence. To prevent recurrence,\nyou may need to take ADmeds for a lifetime. Just\nlike someone with high blood pressure must take\nmedication to prevent strokes and heart disease.\nPeople with high\nblood pressure who take their meds do well,\npeople with major depression who take their meds\ndo well too.\nHow many medications will I need to take?\nMost patients who need to see a psychiatrist to\ntreat their depression take more than one\nmedication to treat their depression. So if you\nrequire 2 or 3 or 4 meds to treat your symptoms,\nyou are not alone.\nWhat medications are used to treat depression?\nThe most common are the antidepressant\nmedications. These medications also treat anxiety\nso are also called anxiolytics as well as\nantidepressants. Other medications used to treat\ndepression are antipsychotics (abilify, zyprexa,\nseroquel), lithium (used to treat bipolar disorder\nalso), synthetic thyroid hormone called cytomel or\nlevothyroxine, lamictal, testosterone, estrogen,\nfish oils (omega 3,6,9), and folic acid.\nAntidepressants are divided into the following\ncategories based on how they work.\nAntidepressant meds (ADmeds) increase various\nchemicals in the brain. These chemicals are called\nneurotransmitters. They transmit a signal from\none neuron to the next neuron. A neuron is the\nname of the cells that make up most of the brain.\nNeurons are responsible for your thoughts,\nfeelings, and actions. The following mechanisms\nof action are theories as to how the meds work, no\none really knows for sure 100%, but we have a\npretty good understanding of them. The\nchemicals involved in depression are serotonin,\nnorepinephrine and epinephrine, and dopamine.\nOther chemicals may also be involved that have\nyet to be discovered. It seems, that ADmeds work\nby increasing the amount of these chemicals\npresent in the brain in specific areas of the brain.\nBy increasing these chemicals, it stimulates the\nnerve cells to grow. The growth of the neurons\n(nerve cells) leads to decrease in depression.\nFurthermore, the ADmeds seem to protect against\nneuron loss or atrophy (shrinkage) of the brain.\nThe medications for depression take time to work.\nWe give the first dose 4 weeks before we assess\nthe need for an increase in strength. Then we\nmust wait 2 to 4 weeks on each dosage\nadjustment if it is needed. ADmeds must be taken\nevery day, all year round for them to work except\nfor premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and seasonal\nTaking medication is a serious decision not to be\ntaken lightly. Any medication can kill you, even\ntylenol. One must weigh the pros and the cons\nbefore starting any medication regimen. Side\neffects from antidepressant meds (ADmeds) are\nvery very rare, but they can happen.\nThe most well known of ADmed categories is the\nselective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, SSRI for\nshort. These meds include Prozac (fluoxetine),\nPaxil (paroxetine), Zoloft (sertraline), Celexa and\nlexapro, and Luvox. These meds differ only\nslightly from each other. Most of the differences\npertain to drug/drug interactions. So if you are on\nmultiple medications, one med may be better for\nyou than the other. Zoloft and Lexapro seem to\nhave the least interactions with other meds, while\nProzac and Luvox seem to have the most. SSRI\nmedications also work very well for obsessive\ncompulsive disorder but usually require higher\ndoses than for depression or anxiety. The\nadvantages of SSRI's is they are usually taken once\ndaily, and are very well tolerated, and have little\nserious side effects. Side effects may include\nsmall weight gain of 2-5 pounds over one year.\nSome patients can experience daytime tiredness,\nlack of enthusiasm (zombie effect), and difficulty\nin achieving orgasm (cumming) during sex or\nmasturbation. Some men are prescribed Zoloft for\npremature ejaculation. Prozac is the most studied\nfor children so it is considered first line for\npediatric depression. Prozac also stays in your\nsystem the longest-3 to 5 days, and comes in a\nweekly pill dosage form. Some drug companies\nhave developed long acting pills to replace the\ngeneric form of their medications that have had\ntheir patents expire. Generally speaking, long\nacting versus short acting makes no difference as\nlong as you take the medication as prescribed.\nTheir may be slight differences in side effects but\nno study, that I am aware of, convincingly proves\nany benefit for the higher priced long acting\nvarieties. SSRI's generally are very safe for the\nheart but if one has a pre-existing heart\ncondition, SSRIs can aggravate it. The heart\ncondition that is a factor in prescribing ADmeds is\ncalled a cardiac conduction delay?. SSRI effects on\nthe heart are so small, that we generally do not\ncheck the heart before prescribing these meds. A\nvery very very rare side effect of SSRI's is\nsyndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone.\nThis causes a person to stop making urine. This is\na reversible side effect once the med is stopped.\nThe antidepressant I prefer to prescribe first is\nWellbutrin (buproprion). Wellbutrin comes in 3\nforms: regular (three times a day), SR (twice a\nday), and XL (once a day). All three are generic at\nthis time. Wellbutrin probably works by increasing\ndopamine and serotonin in the brain. It helps\ndepression, and anxiety. Wellbutrin also helps\nattention deficit disorder. So I particularly like it\nfor adults and children with combination of\ndepression and inattention problems. Wellbutrin\nhas the highest risk of causing a temporary\nseizure. If one gets a seizure while on wellbutrin,\nwellbutrin should be stopped. The seizure is not\npermanent. Wellbutrin is thought to be the safest\nof ADmeds as far as heart issues are concerned.\nWellbutrin also does not cause daytime tiredness,\nnor weight gain, nor does it have sexual side\neffects. Remeron is another antidepressant in its\nown category. It works very well for depression\nand insomnia, but causes severe weight gain.\nThe next category of antidepressants are the\ncombination serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake\ninhibitors. This includes Cymbalta and Effexor.\nMany studies show effexor to be superior for\ntreatment resistant depression and anxiety. All\nantidepressants can increase blood pressure, but\neffexor seems to do this more than the others.\nThe makers of cymbalta have a study that shows\nthat it does not increase weight nor have sexual\nside effects, but that particular manufacturer has\nmedium credibility in my opinion for making extra\nordinary claims that do not prove to be true over\ntime. However, so far, the times I have prescribed\nit, it has been well tolerated by my patients and\nworked well. Effexor can cause a person to feel\nhot and on edge more so than other\nantidepressant meds. This may be due to its\nslightly stronger action. Effexor can cause\ntiredness, weight gain and delayed orgasm.\nAnother category is the tricyclic antidepressants.\nThis is the oldest and original category of\nantidepressant meds. This category includes\nabout 8 different meds. They seem to work the\nbest but have serious side effects so are\nprescribed as second line. Usually, these meds are\nadded to an SSRI or Wellbutrin if those meds only\npartially work. The most common in this category\nare Elavil (amitriptaline), imipramine,\nclomiparamine, and anafranil. Anafanil is often\nused for obsessive compulsive disorder.\nImipramine is often used for bedwetting in\nchildren. These meds offer some help of attention\ndeficit hyperactivity disorder as well. These meds\ntend to be very sedating so are taken at night and\nhelp with sleep. They have anticholinergic side\neffects. These side effects include constipation,\ndifficulty urinating (micturating), blurry vision, dry\neyes and mouth, and weight gain. One should not\ntake these meds if you have closed or narrow\nangle glaucoma. This category of meds is highly\ncardiotoxic. That means you must have a healthy\nheart prior to taking these meds and a normal EKG\nis required prior to starting these meds. An\noverdose of this catagorie of meds will likely kill\nyou due to a heart attack. This category seems to\nwork the best for treatment of chronic pain,\nmigraine head aches, and fibromyalgia.\nTrazadone is often used to treat insomnia.\nThe last category is the mono-amine oxidase\ninhibitors (MAOI). Mono amine oxidase is an\nenzyme in your body and brain that breaks down\nserotonin, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. So by\ninhibiting this enzyme, those chemicals are\nincreased in the brain. MAOI?s are the least\nprescribed antidepressants because they are more\ndifficult to take. One must not take certain other\nmedications including some cold medications,\nstimulants, and other antidepressants or a severe\nincrease in blood pressure could result, leading to\na stroke or heart attack. Some MAOIs require a\nspecial diet that does not contain tyramine. Aged\nmeats and aged cheeses and chianti are\nparticularly high in tyramine.\nSecond line medication for depression include\nlithium, abilify, and seroquel. They are described\nin detail under bipolar disorder treatment. Thyroid\nhormone supplements help depression even if you\nhave a normal thyroid. Thyroid hormone regulates\nmetabolism, body heat, and energy level in the\nIn conclusion, one does not have to suffer from\ndepression. Combination medication plus talk\ntherapy is very effective. One should not delay in\nstarting treatment. Often, more than one\nmedication is needed. Once the symptoms\nresolve, do not stop taking the medications!\nMitchell L. Glaser, MD.", "domain": "health"}

Our aim is to provide you with a detailed understanding of these cannabis varieties, enabling you to make informed choices based on your preferences and needs.\nSativa strains are renowned for their distinct characteristics. Typically, Sativa plants exhibit:\n- Height: Sativa plants tend to be tall and slender, often reaching heights of up to 20 feet when grown outdoors. Their towering stature is a key distinguishing feature.\n- Leaf Structure: Sativa leaves are long and narrow, with thin leaflets. This trait is in stark contrast to the broader leaves of Indica plants.\n- Growth Pattern: Sativa strains have a longer flowering time, usually taking between 10 to 16 weeks. This extended growth period results in larger yields compared to Indica varieties.\nEffects of Sativa\nWhen consumed, Sativa strains are known for delivering uplifting and energizing effects. Users often report increased creativity, focus, and a burst of euphoria. These effects make Sativa strains a popular choice for daytime use, as they can enhance productivity and sociability.\nIndica strains, on the other hand, possess their own set of unique characteristics:\n- Height: Indica plants are shorter and bushier in comparison to Sativa. They typically reach heights of 3 to 6 feet, making them more suitable for indoor cultivation.\n- Leaf Structure: Indica leaves are broader with thicker leaflets. This trait aids in distinguishing them from Sativa plants.\n- Growth Pattern: Indica strains have a shorter flowering period, usually ranging from 8 to 12 weeks. This shorter growth cycle results in smaller yields compared to Sativa.\nEffects of Indica\nIndica strains are renowned for their relaxing and sedative effects. Users often turn to Indica for stress relief, pain management, and to promote deep relaxation and sleep. The calming properties of Indica strains make them a preferred choice for evening or nighttime use.\nSimilarities Between Sativa and Indica\nWhile Sativa and Indica strains exhibit distinct characteristics and effects, there are some commonalities:\n- Cannabis Origin: Both Sativa and Indica are subspecies of the Cannabis sativa plant. This shared ancestry is the reason behind some overlapping properties.\n- Medicinal Potential: Both strains have medicinal applications. Sativa can alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety, while Indica is favored for its pain-relieving and muscle relaxant qualities.\n- Hybrid Varieties: Many modern strains are hybrids, combining features of both Sativa and Indica. These hybrids offer a wide spectrum of effects, catering to diverse user preferences.\nChoosing the Right Strain\nWhen deciding between Sativa and Indica, consider your desired effects and cultivation environment. Sativa is ideal for those seeking an energetic boost and have ample outdoor space, while Indica is better suited for relaxation and indoor growing.\nIn this article, we’ve explored the nuances of Sativa and Indica strains, shedding light on their differences and similarities. Armed with this knowledge, you can confidently select the cannabis strain that aligns with your needs and preferences. Remember that the world of cannabis is vast, and there’s a strain tailored just for you, whether it’s the invigorating Sativa or the soothing Indica.", "domain": "health"}

It stops parts of the brain from working normally over time due to damage to and death of neurones, making it a neurodegenerative disorder. This results in psychological symptoms such as cognitive decline (memory and learning difficulties), behavioural impairment (e.g., mood disorders), and physical symptoms of motor impairment such as chorea (uncontrollable jerky movements), dysphagia (swallowing difficulties), speaking impairment, sluggish movements, and breathing problems. These symptoms gradually worsen over an individual’s lifetime until they’re fatal, with median survival being 24 years from diagnosis and 35 years from symptom onset, and mean age at death being 58 years (Rodrigues et al., 2017).\nHD, much like Alzheimer’s, is a disorder that causes dementia, which is characterised by an impaired cognitive ability to concentrate, remember, and make everyday decisions (CDC, 2019). HD and Alzheimer’s also have similar mechanisms of disease, meaning that a better understanding of HD’s pathology could potentially lead to advancements in the research of Alzheimer's and other dementia-causing disorders with similar mechanisms. Alzheimer’s affects over 850,000 people in the UK alone and is predicted to double by 2040. Unlike HD, 99% of cases are caused by aging instead of inherited genetic risk factors (Alzheimer’s Society, 2020; Alzheimer’s Society, No Date; Tanzi, 2012). Therefore, any advancements in the study of HD that lead to advancements in Alzheimer’s research will impact a significantly larger population than only those with HD.\nHD is autosomal-dominant, meaning it is caused by a mutation in a non-sex chromosome gene that has a 50% chance of being passed on if one parent has the mutated gene. The mutation is in the HTT gene that codes for the protein huntingtin (Figure 1). Specifically, it occurs in the CAG repeats of the gene, which consists of a cytosine-adenine-guanine repetitive DNA sequence that codes for a polyglutamine amino acid sequence, with glutamine being the corresponding amino acid for these triplet bases. This mutation causes an expansion of these repeats, leading to the production of abnormal, misfolded huntingtin protein (Nopoulos, 2016) (Figure 2).\nFigure 1. Structure of Native Huntingtin Protein Produced by X-Ray Diffraction. The protein used was produced from the genome of Homo sapiens. The three domains of the cyclic homotrimer protein are coloured green, orange, and purple respectively (Kim et al., 2009).\nFigure 2. Diagram Showing the Differences in the CAG Repeat Region Between a Healthy and Disease-Causing HTT Gene. The yellow boxes show parts of the CAG repeat region and its expansion in the disease-causing HTT gene (labelled “Huntington’s Disease Gene”). Normal and misfolded / disease-causing proteins are portrayed by yellow (non-repeated) and red (repeated) circles which represent individual glutamine molecules. Arrows show how each “CAG” codes for a single glutamine molecule (NIST, 2011).\nThe accumulation of these mutant huntingtin (mHTT) proteins leads to a breakdown in regular motor function, cognition, and behaviour (Pagan, Torres-Yaghi and Altshuler, 2017). The mHTT proteins were found to play a key role in mitochondrial dysfunction and the impairment of the electron transport chain, which is a key component of metabolism and energy production in cells. This leads to higher oxidative stress and the release of reactive oxygen species, such as hydrogen peroxide, which ultimately damages cellular machinery and destroys neurones (Liu et al., 2017). It was also found that larger mHTT proteins – with significantly longer polyglutamine sequences – may undergo cleavage and produce shorter protein fragments due to structural breakdown. This leads to the aggregation of these protein fragments to form inclusion bodies in the nuclei (Figure 3), which will disrupt neural activity once reaching neurotoxic levels, eventually leading to cell death (Rubinsztein and Carmichael, 2003).\nFigure 3. Diagram Showing the Misfolding and Subsequent Aggregation of Mutant Huntingtin Fragments to Form an Inclusion Body (de Pril, 2011).\nThe disruption of neural activity, and later cell death, leads to the expression of the hallmark symptoms of HD. Late-stage HD can require full-time nursing care because of the severity of these symptoms, which onset most commonly around the age of 40 – though they can rarely start even earlier or later (NHS, 2022).\nPrevalence and Inheritance\nHD’s prevalence can be higher or lower for a given population depending on the lineage of the population in question. For example, in Europe, North America, and Australia, the overall prevalence is 5.70 per 100,000, with Europe alone having ~10 per 100,000. In Asia, the overall prevalence is 0.40 per 100,000 (Pringsheim et al., 2012). Not only does this portray the rarity of HD, but it also shows how genetic disorders can have significantly different prevalence rates around the world because of a region’s population’s lineage.\nAlthough there has been an increase in prevalence rates worldwide, for example, a 15-20% increase per decade in studies in Australia, North America, and Western Europe (Rawlins et al., 2016), this increase cannot be attributed solely to any increase in incidence. Factors such as better diagnostic screening, public willingness to get tested, and more funding play major roles in the reported increase in prevalence (Wexler et al., 2016). Another factor to note for recent prevalence and incidence rates is that HD does not receive equal attention across the world. Some countries, such as those in the UK, for example, have the funding and research power needed to produce modern diagnostic and treatment techniques. Some countries, such as those attributed to being third-world countries, may not have the same funding and research power, which means large numbers of patients are missed for diagnosis and treatment.\nIn terms of incidence rates, in Europe, North America, and Australia, incidence rates ranged from 0.11 to 0.8 per 100,000 per year. In Asia, incidence rates ranged from 0.046 to 0.16 per 100,000 per year. According to one study’s examination of these incidence rates, no trends towards a decrease or increase in incidence over time were observed, meaning incidence has largely remained the same but prevalence has increased (Pringsheim et al., 2012). Interestingly, another study (Roos, 2010) only examined incidence in 45- to 64-year-olds and revealed an incidence rate of 0.8 per 100,000 per year (Mercy et al., 2008). This relatively high incidence rate could be explained by the fact that symptoms often develop between the ages of 30 and 50, so any symptoms that have developed enough to be noticed and attributed to HD may be spotted in the study’s range of 45- to 64-year-olds, leading to a diagnosis and an increased incidence rate for this age range. However, this study was only conducted in Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom, so this incidence rate may not represent 45- to 64-year-olds in Europe, North America, Australia, and Asia as accurately.\nAs mentioned previously, due to HD being a dominant genetic disorder, if one parent has the disorder, then their children have a 50% chance of having the mHTT gene (Walker, 2007). However, there are certain thresholds associated with the number of CAG repeats that influence the inheritance of HD - if the HTT gene contains ≤26 CAG repeats, it is considered normal, but if it contains ≥40, it is considered to be associated with HD, and the individual will likely have the disorder (Myers, 2004). Furthermore, if the gene contains over 28 CAG repeats, it may not be associated with HD but instead could pose a risk to future offspring. This is because CAG repeats over 28 become increasingly more unstable with length, leading to further expansion. This means that, while both parents may not have an HTT gene of abnormal length if one parent has an HTT gene with over 28 CAG repeats, their children may still have a chance of acquiring an mHTT gene, and by extension, HD (Walker, 2007). This increasing length through generations leads to earlier age onset due to larger quantities of neurotoxic polyglutamine being produced, increasing the disease’s severity. This is known as genetic anticipation (Dayalu and Albin, 2015).\nDiagnosis and Treatment\nBecause HD is monogenetic – meaning it is caused by a single faulty gene – diagnosis is relatively straightforward. The diagnostic test consists of a blood test that, when analysed, allows for the quantity of CAG repeats in each HTT allele to be determined (Myers, 2004). This means the test can determine the probability of developing HD in the future because a result of ≥40 implies a 100% risk, 36-39 implies a 60-70% risk, 27-35 implies a 0% personal risk - with risk to offspring acquiring the mHTT gene - and ≤26 implies a 0% risk (de Die-Smulders et al., 2013). Individuals in the UK who wish to get the test, such as after finding out one of their parents has HD and wish to know their probability of developing HD, can visit a regional genetics clinic once they have arranged the appointment with their GP. Patients who are awaiting testing at a clinic usually have a few counselling sessions to discuss testing implications and any concerns before deciding to follow through on testing. Follow-up counselling and support are also offered once a patient receives their test results (Huntington’s Disease Association, No Date). Prenatal testing also exists to predict the foetus’s risk of developing HD, however, this can lead to an ethical dilemma around the act of testing and knowing, as well as the possibility of selective abortion (Spurdle et al., 1991). Other potential options for individuals with HD who want children include pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, which is a form of IVF where the zygote is genetically tested for HD prior to implantation, egg or sperm donations, adoption, or conceiving naturally without any testing, although this would require accepting the risk of the child inheriting HD (Huntington’s Disease Association, No Date).\nWhen a diagnosis is given to a patient, potential treatments will be discussed. These treatments are not aimed at curing, as a cure has not yet been discovered, but are instead aimed at regulating symptoms. These consist of nutrition management to counter weight loss due to dysphagia, thickening agents for liquids to make them easier and safer to swallow, and reminders from carers to eat slowly to prevent choking (Walker, 2007). As for medications, tetrabenazine is used to treat chorea. It does this by lowering dopamine levels, which reduces nerve cell communication and ultimately chorea. Consequently, the lowered dopamine levels are reflected in an increased risk of suicidal ideations, although tetrabenazine is not the only factor behind this increased risk (FDA, 2008).\nThere are a wide variety of research studies taking place to combat HD. In 2020 alone, there were 200 clinical trials based on potential therapies and biomarkers (Clinicaltrials.gov, 2020). Some research studies are actively looking into reducing the levels of mHTT protein by looking for ways to increase the rate at which cells dispose of it. These studies have shown that mHTT levels can be reduced through the application of autophagy-inducing factors, both natural and artificial (Djajadikerta et al., 2020). Autophagy is the cells’ processes of recycling old and damaged cellular parts, such as mHTT and its fragments (Klionsky, 2008). Other studies have demonstrated that gene silencing is a potential route as it takes advantage of the fact that HD is monogenic. They aim to reduce the production of mHTT protein by application of ASOs – antisense oligosaccharides – which bind to mHTT mRNA and prevent its transcription, effectively reducing the protein concentrations and halting its neurodegenerative effects. (Munoz-Sanjuan and Bates, 2011). Another study investigated the potential application of stem-cell therapy for the regeneration of damaged neurons by transplanting stem cells into afflicted regions of the brain (Clelland, Barker and Watts, 2008).\nA novel staging system for HD was also created in a similar way to how cancer is staged from 0 up to 4. Huntington’s Disease Integrated Staging System (HD-ISS) was made with the intention of assisting clinical trials target the earliest stages of HD, and is based on biological, functional, and clinical characteristics of HD. It is also the first staging system ever created for a genetic neurological disorder (Tabrizi et al., 2022).\nA recent study discovered that autophagy is impaired in people with HD, leading to a build-up of biochemical waste in affected neurones, eventually causing cell death. Using a technique developed by the researchers, they were able to reprogram adult skin cells from someone symptomatic with HD into medium spiny neurones using specific signalling molecules. It was necessary to use adult skin cells as stem cells would only be useful for studying a cell’s early developmental state, whereas HD is most commonly symptomatic in adulthood. The HD-afflicted medium spiny neurones were observed producing chemicals that set off a cascade of events, including autophagy impairment. The researchers also identified a chemical, ‘G2’, using high throughput screening of a database of autophagy enhancers, added this to the neurones, and observed how G2 enhanced autophagy and prevented cell death (Oh et al., 2022).\nA research study investigating the drug pridopidine as an HD treatment has also shown promise. The drug helps to encourage the production of a neuroprotective protein known as a brain-derived neurotrophic factor, which is found at reduced levels in people with HD. The protein has been described as a preventative in mHTT-induced cell death and also leads to a reduction in the HD-impairment of cellular processes. A PET imaging study was used to study the drug’s occupation of the brain receptor ‘S1R’ and showed that it occupied 90% of them. These results were used to support the testing of the drug’s appropriate dose in the trial (Huntington Study Group, 2022; Reilmann et al., 2021).\nIn conclusion, Huntington’s disorder is caused by a mutation in the HTT gene leading to defective huntingtin protein that produces neurotoxic fragments of polyglutamine. This neurotoxicity leads to the expression of nerve-related psychological and physical symptoms due to neural damage in the brain. It is a relatively rare disorder with 10 in 100,000 Europeans being afflicted, despite being autosomal-dominant. It is diagnosed through a blood test that determines CAG repeat quantities in alleles to determine susceptibility. It is treated through a mix of therapies, dietary and habit changes, and medication. Current research aims to combat this disorder through gene silencing, neural regeneration, and autophagic-induction. Research within the last year has led to the creation of a novel staging system to help with trialling more effective treatments, the discovery of Huntington’s disorder impairing autophagy processes, and the clinical trialling of a new and promising drug.\nAlzheimer’s Society.

There’s no cure for cystic fibrosis, but a range of treatments can help control the symptoms, prevent or reduce complications, and make the condition easier to live with. Regular appointments to monitor the condition are needed and a care plan will be set up based on the person’s needs. People with cystic fibrosis are treated by a team of healthcare professionals. Sometimes the condition will require treatment in hospital. People with cystic fibrosis may need to take different medicines to treat and prevent lung problems.\nAnytime an illness is fictionally represented in the media, there are bigger conversations that need to be had. So, it was not surprising that the release of “Five Feet Apart,” a love story centering on two young people living with cystic fibrosis, caused a quite a stir. Cystic fibrosis is an illness that is not often portrayed in television or film. This genetic disease causes thicker than normal mucus to form in the lungs, pancreas and other organs.\nPeople with cystic fibrosis have mucus that is thick and sticky, so it can block airways, making it hard to breathe and increasing the possibility of serious infection.\nInformational. An Introduction to Cystic Fibrosis: For Patients & Families dating apply to people with CF as apply to people without CF. Nobody should be.\nCystic fibrosis CF is one of the most common and serious genetic diseases in America. CF affects the respiratory lungs , pancreatic, and gastrointestinal GI systems. It can also affect the sinuses, liver, spleen, and reproduction. It is a chronic disease that currently has no cure. In the ‘s, CF was a fatal disease of early childhood. Today, thanks to advances in medical care, children can expect a much longer lifespan.\nDating can feel like a wasteland of hookups, insincerity, miscommunication, and ghosting. Instead, I was going to be genuine to myself. This would require a lot of self-growth in realizing and acting on what I valued most. I ended up continuing to go on dates, but I no longer put up with the BS. I was myself, unwavering and candid, and CF is a crucial part in my genuine self.\nCystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common and serious genetic diseases in America. Lung transplants may extend the life of a CF patient, but they are not a cure for CF. Arrange a play date for the sibling, who may be feeling left out.\nI think many of us with cystic fibrosis CF have built up emotional walls around ourselves. These walls are built from the stones of fear and uncertainty, about being different, being unattractive, being unwanted. These walls make it difficult and usually impossible for those wanting to get close to us to break down. But everyone, every single person, has their own battles they face. Though the battles of someone with CF are great, it is our perspective that determines the effects they can have on our relationships with others — in this context, on our relationships with potential partners.\nPerspective, the viewpoint from which we approach a situation, can either be in a positive or negative light. Possibilities to have a wonderful time. Possibilities to build a connection with someone. I believe once we accept ourselves for the way our bodies are and have been created, we convey authenticity about ourselves.\nI actually had no idea what CF was, so straight to the Google machine I went! Armed with a wealth of definitions and abbreviations, I was absolutely none the wiser. Sasha and I had already spoken a few times and were getting on really well. I was looking forward to our date, so I stopped trying to figure out the condition and just went with it.\nDuring the night later, the conversation seemed to naturally steer towards CF.\nBecause people with cystic fibrosis can all have different kinds of bacteria in their bodies, not staying six feet apart may put other people with.\nFor people with cystic fibrosis CF , cross-infection poses serious health risks – people with CF grow bugs in their lungs which are usually harmless to people who don’t have the condition, but can be easily transmitted from one person with CF to another and be very harmful. Find out more. Meetings and conferences are places where cross-infection could occur, so even at cystic fibrosis-related events, or events organised by the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, there should only be one person with CF in attendance at a time.\nWe offer internet forums and platforms to enable people with CF to interact safely, and we live stream events wherever possible. Did you know that we live stream our yearly UK Cystic Fibrosis Conference for people who can’t attend in person?\nThe thick, sticky mucus that builds up in our lungs functions like silly puddy. As a result, people with CF harbor dangerous bacteria in their lungs and these bacteria are contagious only to other people with CF or compromised immune systems. The good news is CF is not at all contagious or dangerous to healthy people. The bad news is the cross infection risks mean people with CF are advised not to be within 6 feet of one another. For me, this is one of the hardest things about CF.\nCF and Tay Sachs are tied as the most fatal Jewish genetic diseases.\nLiving my life with cystic fibrosis, and then sharing that life publicly through social media, has brought many questions into my inbox over the.\nAnother great Saturday with the girlfriend! This time at the Greek Festival! What may not have seemed like huge moments for me, have turned out to be pretty important steps for her. My illness not something I ever like to hide, and I always include my very supportive friends in my care. It makes things a lot easier for me when they should be getting tougher.\nSo with that being said, here is a list of some of the good, bad and ugly firsts that people have to go through when it comes to dating someone with CF. Treatments are an essential every day part of my life. It probably seems like a crazy experience to the casual onlooker who has never seen it. Let me have my dark humor! Chemistry in a box! Some of our CF meds, whether inhaled or IV, have to be reconstituted by the patient. It involves alcohol swabs, syringes, needles and steady hands.\nI consider this to be one of my hidden skills… you know, basic nursing, pharmacist, whatever. The digestive issues that come along with CF are no laughing matter.\nBackground: Cystic fibrosis CF is the most common inherited disease in Caucasians, affecting around 10, individuals in the UK today. Prognosis has improved considerably over recent decades with ongoing improvements in treatment and care. Providing up-to-date survival predictions is important for patients, clinicians and health services planning.\nMethods: Flexible parametric survival modelling of UK CF Registry data from to , capturing deaths in 10, individuals. Survival curves were estimated from birth; conditional on reaching older ages; and projected under different assumptions concerning future mortality trends, using baseline characteristics of sex, CFTR genotype zero, one, two copies of Fdel and age at diagnosis.\nFindings: Male sex was associated with better survival, as was older age at diagnosis, but only in Fdel non-homozygotes.\nPeople with cystic fibrosis can get sick from germs that don’t usually sure that you’re up-to-date on all of your recommended vaccinations.\nCurrent treatments for cystic fibrosis are not suitable for all patients and have a limited effect on this life-threatening disease. But new advances in the field promise to overcome these hurdles. The cause of cystic fibrosis is very straightforward. Its treatment, however, is not. People diagnosed with cystic fibrosis have a mutation in a gene called CFTR. This gene encodes a protein that is responsible for transporting chloride to the surface of cells.\nWithout chloride to attract water, the mucus that surrounds the cells in many organs becomes thick and sticky. The main organ affected is the lungs, where the mucus clogs airways and makes them prone to infection and inflammation. The function of the pancreas, liver and bowel is also affected — a single mutation ends up damaging the whole body.\nCystic fibrosis CF is a genetic disease passed down from parents to a child that can affect many different organs in the body. More than 30, people are living with CF in the United States. Cystic fibrosis affects a chloride channel in the body. People with CF make mucus that is extra thick and sticky. It also causes problems with digestion processing food that is eaten.\nCF is a genetic disease.\nTwo infections that are particularly threatening for cystic fibrosis patients can be resistant to antibiotics— Pseudomonas aeruginosa and.\nA dedicated, knowledgeable CF Foundation Compass case manager is ready to work with you one-on-one.

This study will examine the experience of disclosing a cystic fibrosis CF diagnosis to a dating partner. CF has implications for potential life partners issues of fertility, decreased life span and an increasing need for medical management with age that may make disclosure particularly sensitive. An understanding of the disclosure process may provide insight into ways health care practitioners can support their patients during this process.\nPeople between 21 and 35 years of age with CF who have been in at least one dating relationship may be eligible for this study. Participants are interviewed by telephone about their experiences living with cystic fibrosis and telling dating partners about their diagnosis. The interview includes questions about:.\nFrom ages 17 to 24, I was with a wonderful person. It was us against the destructive titan, cystic fibrosis. We fought side by side, not against each other. Our relationship seemed untouchable, except by the trial of me getting better, healthier. The dependency was suddenly unnecessary, and so our roles in the relationship shifted. Ironically, we agree that breaking up was the best thing that could have happened to our relationship.\nThe North American Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Patient Registry has reported is known to date about pregnancy in CF and offered suggestions for optimising.\nCF Community Blog. Relationships can be tough no matter what. But I have found that when you have cystic fibrosis, relationships require these three elements. By Chelsea Spruance. Living my life with cystic fibrosis, and then sharing that life publicly through social media, has brought many questions into my inbox over the years.\nBut there is one question that always stands out: How has my relationship withstood the tests of CF? Nick, my partner of three years, and I have been through plenty of tests, CF being only one of them. From meeting in Thailand , to long-distance dating over three time zones, to moving — and we can’t forget all the things that come with normal relationships mixed in — it’s safe to say it has been an adventure.\nWhen people ask how we make it work, many expect a response including some Harry Potter love potion, fairy godmother, or possibly a genie in a bottle. I hate to contradict the theory of magic, but it involves none of those things. I believe there are three nonmagical elements that make our relationship work:.", "domain": "health"}

That’s why the health of your eyes is particularly important to us. We demand a lot of our sensitive organs of sight every day: Eighty percent of adults experience eye stress. Daily stresses such as working at a computer, air conditioning or dry heated air can promote the occurrence of severe symptoms of dry eye and even damage our sight in the long term. It is therefore important to protect ourselves from the consequences of insufficient lubrication on the surface of the eye even when we’re young. The HYLO® family of eye drops ensures intensive lubrication and can help protect our eyes from the symptoms of dry eye longer. Give your eyes the care and protection they need – show us the twinkle in your eye!\nThere are many reasons for eye stress.\nSources of eye stress are as diverse and individual as our modern lifestyles. Whether it’s working at a computer, wearing contact lenses, working in air conditioned offices or frequent travelling: we regularly strain our eyes, often without noticing it is happening. We only notice the daily strain on our eyes when we get burning, red or tired eyes – symptoms typical of the common condition “dry eye”.\nThe “digital eye disease”\nSpending a lot of time looking at screens often causes the eyes to dry out. People blink significantly less when working at a computer or looking at their smart phones than they do when doing other activities. This leads to a decreased distribution of the tear film across the surface of the eye. A study by the American organisation “The Vision Council”(1) in October 2014 showed the impact that working on a laptop, tablet or smart phone actually has on the eyes. As part of the study, nearly 10,000 Americans were asked about their digital media consumption. Findings: “Digital eye disease”, which causes symptoms such as dry, red and painful eyes, affects the younger generation in particular. Eighty-four percent of millennials (those born between 1981 and 1996) have a smartphone, and 68 percent suffer from digital eye disease. A total of 37.4 percent of these “digital natives” use at least one digital device for more than nine hours a day, and they often even use several at the same time. Patients also include children, because they spend an average of three hours a day on a computer, mobile phone or tablet(1).\nThe products in the HYLO® family are Germany’s market leaders for combatting dry eye.(2) This product family contains a diverse range of eye lubricants and therefore offers the right product for day and night, from drops that revive tired eyes to those that hydrate to those that provide treatment, no matter how extensive the problem.\nThe advantages of the lubricating eye drops by HYLO® include:\n- High viscosity thanks to long-chain hyaluronic acid\n- Free from preservatives and phosphates\n- Germ-free and easy to dispense thanks to the patented COMOD® system\n- Compatible with hard and soft contact lenses\n- Very economical with at least 300 drops\nThe HYLO® product family offers effective lubrication, excellent tolerability and practical handling – in other words, carefully coordinated eye lubrication products. Give your eyes the care and protection they need.\n(1) The Vision Council (2015): 2015 Digital Eye Strain Report\n(2) IH-Galaxy; APO-Channel-Monitor DMIQ; S01K1: MAT 2020.12 total sales (retail)", "domain": "health"}

Communities who suffer from poor air quality often rely on experts to identify pollution sources due to the lack of accessible tools. Taking this into account, we developed Smell Pittsburgh, a system that enables community members to report odors and track where these odors are frequently concentrated. All smell report data are publicly accessible online. These reports are also sent to the local health department and visualized on a map along with air quality data from monitoring stations. This visualization provides a comprehensive overview of the local pollution landscape. Additionally, with these reports and air quality data, we developed a model to predict upcoming smell events and send push notifications to inform communities. Our evaluation of this system demonstrates that engaging residents in documenting their experiences with pollution odors can help identify local air pollution patterns, and can empower communities to advocate for better air quality.\nFor more information, please visit http://smellpgh.org/", "domain": "health"}

In the US and Europe, almost 30 percent of postmenopausal women have osteoporosis. And at least 40 percent of these women and up to 30 percent of men will suffer a fracture in their lifetime as a result. Researchers from Flinders University, South Australia, tracked the health of almost 1,200 elderly women for ten years.\nThe volunteers, who had an average age of 80 at the start of the study, were regularly quizzed about their diet, with a particular emphasis on how much tea they drank. During the decade, the women suffered 288 breaks, including 129 hip fractures. However, those who drank at least three cups of tea a day were almost a third less likely to break a bone over the decade than those who rarely or never consumed the stuff. Importantly, the result stood when other factors linked to weakened bones, such as smoking and not exercising, were factored in. It is thought that plant chemicals called flavonoids strengthen the bones by speeding the building of new bone cells while slowing down the erosion of existing ones.\n+2This is likely to be particularly important in old age, where the bone tends to wear down quicker than it can be replaced. Found in fruit and vegetables, flavonoids are also good for cardiac health and it is known that a healthy heart is good for the bones. Coffee also contains flavonoids, however, tea was by far the biggest source of the compounds in the women studied, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reports.Dr. Tim Bond, of the industry-funded Tea Advisory Panel, said: ‘This is good news for older tea drinkers in particular.‘Older women are at increased risk of fracture which often leads to hospitalization and nursing home stays at substantial cost.‘Consumption of three or more cups of tea each day is a pleasant activity and according to the findings from this study helps to maintain the bone health among older women.’Sarah Leyland, of the National Osteoporosis Society, said other research had suggested drinking tea might help to prevent fractures.She added: ‘It isn’t clear whether this is because tea contains flavonoids, plant-based compounds, or fluoride or something else.‘However in general, it’s a well-balanced diet with adequate calcium, protein and plenty of fruit and vegetables that will provide the nutrients your bones need.’\nBy FIONA MACRAE SCIENCE EDITOR FOR THE DAILY MAIL", "domain": "health"}

Massage is beneficial to everyone.\nLifestyle, diet, stress, repetitive actions, over-training and day to day life habits, such as sitting at a desk, driving, lifting children, cleaning, they can all contribute to poor posture, muscular imbalance and often over time repetitive injury.\nSo basically, unless you have been able to avoid work and live the perfect life in perfect balance, an introduction to the foam roller could be just the bit of TLC your body needs.\nIn a nutshell using a foam roller regularly will assist with preventing injury in the long term by helping you warm up your muscles and mobilise your joints.\nA greater “range of movement” (ROM) for key joints such as hips, shoulders, knees and ankles means that you can move more freely more efficiently.\nThere are many benefits to using a foam roller…. Self-massage promotes increased blood flow, carrying important nutrients to our working muscles such as oxygen and glycogen, and flushing out build-up of lactic acid, to aid muscle repair and reduce DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) for those that are physically active.\nSo, the next time you go out for a run or do a workout in the gym your muscles feel lesser after effects from previous training sessions and you are ready to go again!\nIf you want to improve in any sport, taking time to give your body the rest and care it needs, should be an important part of any training program.\nPrior to working out - Foam roll to raise your core temperature, increase mobility and help activate your muscles.\nWarm up with dynamic stretches (stretches with movement) not holding position for too long. Work on ROM in each joint you will use during your workout.\nPost workout - Static stretching will help to reduce muscle tension, increase flexibility and ROM also. Hold stretches and use a foam roller to help reduce the chances of post workout tension and soreness caused by the repetition of your workout.\nIf you don’t have the time to foam roller before and after each session, make sure that you find a time that you can.\nUse your foam roller in-between seeing your massage therapist, although it’s a fantastic piece of kit it’s no long-term substitute for a sports massage if one is needed for very active individuals.\nHow to use a foam roller and get it right.\nChanging your bodies position helps you foam roll almost every major muscle.\nApply moderate pressure, you may feel uncomfortable at times – it should not be unbearable however.\nRoll slowly, when you find a tender spot roll back and forward over that area until the tension releases.\nDon’t roll over the joint, the aim is to help free up and warm up he soft tissue.\nAfter foam rolling you should feel as if your muscles have been warmed up and prepared.\nYou may feel some mild muscle soreness after rolling the next day if you are new to it.\nStaying hydrated by drinking plenty of water, eating well balanced and nutritious meals and getting a good amount of sleep will help flush your system and recover muscles effectively ready for your next training session.\nFor more informative assessments of your bodies mechanics and muscular balances book yourself a movement screening with us. Starting at £20 for a 90 minute screening designed to help you to understand your strengths and weaknesses and where you can improve your ROM to maximise your training potential and minimise injury!", "domain": "health"}

This film chronicles Joe’s personal mission to regain his health after realizing his life was on a downward spiral. Joe was 100 pounds overweight, loaded up on steroids and suffering from a debilitating autoimmune disease. Having no success with conventional medicine, Joe turned to the only option left, the body’s ability to heal itself. Joe decided to drink Mean Green Juice as made a 3,000 mile journey across America for a period of 60 days. I will leave the ending for yours to discover…\nThis film inspired me to take immediate action by researching for the best juicers and places to buy fresh produce.\nBest Juicers – Upon extensive research online and in-person at many department stores, the one conclusion I made was that Breville Juicers always came on top. I found that Breville Juicers were solidly built both mechanically and aesthetically. Also, they are easy to clean, which you will definitely appreciate if you are juicing daily. I purchased Breville Juice Fountain Compact, which I thought had a good combination of power, features, good price point. Whole Apples? No problem with its 700 watts motor!\nNow that we have laid the foundation with both what inspired me and buying my first juicer, let’s focus on the Juice.\nHere is a picture of my countertop:\nAs you can see most (except the ginger and lemon) are all green. Why green? Green fruits and vegetables contain lots of antioxidants; vitamins, minerals, and fiber, which keeps your body protect itself from bacterial and viral infections, cancers, diseases, and common illnesses. Green leafy vegetables contain the most vitamins and nutrients.\nKey guideline for green juice is 60% dark green leafy vegetables and 40% other vegetables/fruits. Unless you are doing a juice cleanse, drinking up to 4 x 16-20 ounce drinks per day, I started by drinking 1 liter (approx. 33.81 ounce) per day first thing in the morning. Since you get the most nutrients drinking right after juicing, if at all possible, try to drink within first 20 minutes of juicing. If you plan on making a full days worth, keep it in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.\nMean Green Juice Recipe (Official):\n1 – Cucumber\n4 – Celery Stalks\n2 – Green Apples\n6 to 8 – Kale (Australian Tuscan Cabbage)\n1/2 – Lemon\n1 teaspoon – Ginger\n1.

Here is the order that I follow: Ginger, Kale, Celery, Cucumber, Lemon, and lastly Green Apples.\n4. Pour in glass or in sealed container\nHere is the Trailer Video for Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead\nWhy you need to keep immune system health?\nImmune system is very important in the body. The function of the same is to protect and prevent body from diseases. It’s what makes people to be fit and healthy all the time. This system is powerful because it detects if a person is suffering from worms or viruses. There are people who are wondering ways and what they can do to ensure that immune system is fine and in good condition all the time. Boost Immune System Naturally with Fruits and Vegetables and you will not experience unhealthy problems such as diseases or illness. This is the only way to be free from all these.\nIf immune system is in good condition, what it does is to improve and increase white cells which are helpful in the body.

Unlike other pets, Hedgehogs are neither herbivores, omnivores, nor carnivores; these prickly little creatures are mostly insectivores. Thus, you might have to struggle with feeding them, among other things.\nEarlier, most hedgehog-owners used to feed their pets cat food, which was not right for their health. However, nowadays can easily find hedgehog foods available in your local pet stores as well as online. But can your hedgehog eat fruits and vegetables? What about apples?\nCan hedgehogs eat apples? Hedgehogs can certainly eat apples since they’re not toxic or harmful to them in any way. However, apples don’t contribute to their dietary needs much either. Therefore, they’re not exactly beneficial for them. You can use apples as treats for your pet hedgehog but remove the seeds carefully before doing so.\nDo hedgehogs like eating apples?\nHedgehogs do not necessarily like eating apples. Unlike most of the other pet animals, hedgehogs don’t have a sweet tooth and are, therefore, not always drawn to sweet treats.\nTherefore, whether or not your hedgehog likes eating apples entirely depends on its taste. Some hedgehogs like eating apples, while others would leave it untouched.\nYou can find out about your pet’s choice about apples by trying to place some pieces in front of them. If they gobble them all up, they certainly like it. However, if they stopped eating after the first cube, you might have to find another fruit to use for their treat.\nAre apples healthy or harmful for hedgehogs?\nTo determine whether apples are healthy or harmful for hedgehogs, let’s first look at an apple’s nutritional composition:\nServing size: approx. 100 grams\nWhile Apple is wealthy when it comes to nutrients, it lacks the one nutrient essential for hedgehogs in abundance: protein. Hedgehogs depend on protein for most of their nutrition, since their ideal diet consists of food rich in protein, containing low fat.\nHowever, a whole apple contains about 0.5% of protein, which is too low in quantity to meet the dietary needs of a hedgehog. With that being said, apples are not bad for a hedgehog’s health either.\nTherefore, apples are neither healthy nor harmful to hedgehogs.\nHow many apples should you feed your hedgehog?\nSince apples do not benefit your hedgehog in any way, there’s no point in feeding them a lot of it. If your hedgehog likes apples, you can feed them a few cubes of it once in a while, as a treat for them.\nDo you feed your hedgehog tablets? Hedgehogs, like most of the other animals, are not keen on medicines and avoid eating them as much as they can. In this case, you can hide their medicines into apples to trick them into eating it.\nTips on feeding your hedgehogs apples\nThe first step of feeding your pet any fruit is to wash them thoroughly to get rid of any chemicals added on the surface. Animals are often more sensitive to these chemicals than us and might suffer severe consequences if they consume them.\nTo wash the apple properly, you should let it soak in a water bowl for a few minutes. Then, throw away the water, wash the fruit with clean water, and it’s ready to cut.\nWhile cutting apples for your hedgehog, you must take into consideration its small size. To make eating apples easier for the hedgehog, and avoid choking, cut them into little cubes so that they can gobble up easily.\nAlso, remove all the seeds from the apple before feeding it to your pet.\nCan hedgehogs eat apple skin?\nYes, hedgehogs can eat apple skin. If you find pet owners peeling the skin off of apples before feeding them to their pets, it’s more often a wasted effort than a preventive measure.\nLike the fruit itself, the skin is completely harmless for your hedgehog. Therefore, you do not need to peel the apple’s skin off before feeding it to your hedgehog.\nCan hedgehog drink apple juice?\nWhile the fruit of apple itself contains juice, squeezing the juice out, especially to feed your hedgehog might not be a good idea. As a general rule, sugar is not a part of a hedgehog’s usual diet.\nSince apple juice contains concentrated sugar, feeding them to these small creatures can create trouble in their stomach. Therefore, you should not feed your hedgehog apple juice.\nAre apple seeds safe for hedgehogs?\nWhile the apple seeds are toxic to most animals, hedgehogs, being an insectivore, have a high tolerance for most toxic things. So, does that mean apple seeds are safe for them? Unfortunately, we don’t have an absolute answer to that yet.\nHowever, most hedgehog-owners have agreed that it’s not worth the risk whether or not they’re toxic. Thus, they avoid feeding them to their pet hedgehogs, if not for the toxicity, then to avoid a choking hazard. You should remember the same while feeding your hedgehog apples.\nAn ideal diet for hedgehog\nHere are a few things you should include in the regular diet of your hedgehog:\nHedgehog kibble is a store-bought pet food produced specifically to fulfill the nutrition needs of your pet hedgehog. The kibble should make up about 80% of your hedgehog’s daily diet. It contains more than 40% of protein, and less than 20% of fat, making it ideal for hedgehogs.\nHedgehogs need food rich in protein, and chicken offers precisely that. You can throw your hedgehog a small piece of it occasionally when you’re cooking chicken.\nCrickets and mealworms\nCrickets and mealworms provide hedgehogs with their much-desired chitin. They’re also good for their mental stimulation, and make them active. If you’re not too grossed out by the idea of catching worms, you can feed them to your hedgehog.\nThese insects are rich in fat and low in protein, which is quite the opposite of their ideal diet. However, hedgehogs find them delicious. Thus, you can occasionally feed them some as a treat.\nIf you’re making yourself scrambled eggs, sharing a little portion of it with your pet hedgehog might not be a bad idea.\nWhat should you avoid feeding your hedgehog?\nAlthough resilient, hedgehogs are small animals and have a slightly fragile internal system. Thus, you should stick to their mainstream diet instead of experimenting too much.\nGiven below are things you should never feed your hedgehog:\n- Egg yolk\n- Processed food\n- Raw meat\nFrequently Asked Questions\nAre dog foods safe for hedgehogs to eat? No. Dog foods are developed, keeping in mind the dietary needs of dogs, which is bound to be different than that of a hedgehog. If you want to go with store-bought food, buy hedgehog food that adequately fulfills your hedgehogs’ nutrition needs.\nCan I feed my hedgehog onions? No, onions can prove to be toxic to hedgehogs, and should never be fed to them.\nCan’t my hedgehog eat meat? Hedgehogs can eat meat, as long as it is well-cooked. Avoid feeding them raw meat at all costs.\nLet’s go back to our initial question: Can hedgehogs eat apples? Yes, hedgehogs can eat apples. However, containing protein in a moderate quantity, apples don’t do hedgehogs much good. Thus, you should only feed your hedgehog apples occasionally as a treat. Also, when you feed them apples, properly remove all the seeds first.", "domain": "health"}

As a leader, you bear the responsibility of guiding and motivating your team, making tough decisions, and managing the pressures of the job. Over time, these responsibilities can take a toll on your mental and physical health, potentially leading to burnout.\nFurthermore, leaders and managers are not only more susceptible to stress and burnout themselves but also hold responsibility for the well-being of their team members. It is crucial for leaders to recognize burnout symptoms and act swiftly before they escalate into larger issues.\nIn this essay, we will delve deeper into burnout, examining its causes, symptoms, and potential management strategies. By understanding burnout and its consequences, leaders and managers can not only better prevent its onset but also take appropriate action when it occurs.\nAlthough burnout isn't categorized as a medical condition, it was acknowledged by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2019 as an \"occupational phenomenon\", which essentially signifies a syndrome.\nHere is the WHO's definition:\n“Burn-out is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. It is characterized by three dimensions:\n• feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion;\n• increased mental distance from one’s job, or feelings of negativism cynicism related to one's job;\n• reduced professional efficacy.\nBurn-out refers specifically to phenomena in the occupational context and should not be applied to describe experiences in other areas of life.”\nOver the years, burnout has been the subject of extensive studies, and researchers have also developed surveys to assess its prevalence. The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), formulated by Christina Maslach and Susan Jackson in the 1980s, is perhaps the most well-known of these tools.\nThe MBI is a validated measure of burnout that examines three dimensions:\nIn today's fast-paced work environments, burnout has become an increasingly common issue. Burnout can occur when individuals are subjected to prolonged stress or frustration, often a result of various factors that make the demands of their role overwhelming. Here are some common causes:\nThe Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model, established by Arnold Bakker and Evangelia Demerouti, offers a more theoretical approach to better understand when burnout can start to proliferate. This model suggests that burnout arises from an imbalance between the demands of a role and the resources available to cope with these demands.\nJob demands refer to the physical, psychological, social, or organizational aspects of a role that require consistent physical or mental effort, including factors such as workload, time pressure, and emotional demands. Conversely, job resources are aspects of a role that aid in achieving work goals, alleviate job demands, or stimulate personal growth and development. Examples include autonomy, social support, and constructive feedback.\nThe JD-R model proposes that having sufficient job resources can mitigate the negative effects of high job demands. In other words, when resources are adequate, they can help manage the stress associated with demanding work and thus help prevent burnout..\nIt's essential to recognize the signs and symptoms of burnout to take action before they escalate in something more difficult to solve.\nSome common signs of burnout can include:\nHaving experienced burnout firsthand, in my opinion it can be brought back to apathy. You just feel helpless, lazy and you tend to procrastinate.\nBurnout can have a significant impact on your productivity and performance. It can lead to decreased job satisfaction, reduced creativity, and poor decision-making. While as we mentioned burnout is not classified as a disease, it can potentially impact your physical health, leading to high blood pressure, weakened immune system, and other health problems. If left unaddressed, burnout can ultimately lead to depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues.\nYears ago, when I first started my job as a manager, I was working long hours, handling a high workload, and struggling to balance my work and personal life. I began to notice that I was feeling exhausted, irritable, and unmotivated. As previously mentioned, I was also experiencing apathy and started to procrastinate.\nThe first thing that helped me was taking a break and conducting a deep self-assessment. This allowed me to recognize that I was experiencing burnout and decide to take action. I took some time off work, engaged in self-care activities, and connected with a mentor who helped me reevaluate my priorities and workload. Through this process, I realized that I needed to delegate more tasks to others on my team and establish clearer boundaries between work and personal life.\nAfter implementing these changes, I noticed a significant improvement in my well-being and job performance. I became more focused, productive, and engaged in my work, and I felt more fulfilled in my personal life. This experience not only taught me to recognize burnout but also inspired me to find strategies to prevent this unpleasant situation.\nInspired by the 3/3/3 method for structuring the day by Oliver Burkeman, I developed what I call the 3-3-3 Anti-Burnout Rule. The 3-3-3 stands for:\nThe idea is to take at least 3 hours to rest, reflect, and self-assess every week, 3 days every month, and at least 3 weeks every year.\nYou don't have to follow this strictly (in fact, I would suggest resting more than what the 3-3-3 rule suggests), but it's a useful framework to assess your work-life balance and understand if you're taking enough time for yourself or not. Every week, month, and year, I conduct a personal assessment and ask myself:\n\"Did I take enough time for myself to rest?\"\nFor me it works quite well.\nThere are several other strategies that you can use to prevent burnout, including:\nDespite utilizing strategies to prevent burnout, it's not always possible to entirely evade this condition. Moreover, even if you are disciplined enough to ward off personal burnout, you may still have to address burnout among your team members. So, what steps should you take in the face of burnout?\nThe first and most critical step is recognition, as previously discussed. If it's happening to you, self-identification might be relatively straightforward; however, if it's occurring to one of your team members, it may not be as apparent. The primary advice here is to approach the situation with objectivity, empathy, and understanding.\nFollowing recognition, there are several steps you can take:\nIn summary, burnout presents a significant challenge in today's fast-paced work environments and should be a concern for everyone, not just leaders. Its impact on both personal and professional aspects of our lives highlights the need for awareness of its causes, symptoms, and preventative and remedial measures.\nThroughout this essay, we have examined various aspects of burnout, including its definition, common triggers, indicators, and the detrimental effects it can have on productivity and health. Additionally, we went through some practical tips to prevent burnout, such as implementing the 3-3-3 Anti Burnout Rule, setting boundaries, prioritizing self-care, practicing mindfulness, and seeking support when necessary. Furthermore, based on my experience, we have explored actionable steps to overcome burnout, including taking necessary breaks, reassessing priorities, and finding new sources of motivation.\nIn conclusion, it is essential to manage burnout proactively by gaining knowledge and implementing effective coping strategies. Prioritizing your well-being, as well as that of your team, is not a luxury but a necessity that leads to greater resilience, productivity, and overall life balance.\nFor further reading on burnout and self-care for leaders, consider the following resources:", "domain": "health"}

We know that eczema can attack the skin of babies, children and adults alike. And for all of these people, apple cider vinegar (ACV) can act as a great natural treatment. It’s widely reported to reduce the effects of eczema and decrease discomfort. Apple cider vinegar is a natural astringent made from distilled apples; the end-product has a brownish-yellow color and contains a lot of beneficial phytonutrients. Many people with eczema talk about its amazing benefits for a host of different ailments, including eczema.\nACV has a few beneficial components:\n- vitamins and minerals\n- amino acids\n- antibacterial and anti-fungal elements.\nThe benefits of apple cider vinegar are many. Apple cider vinegar is rich in vitamins and minerals that balance the immune system. Vitamin B12 found in ACV is beneficial to those with eczema, and highly bioavailable. Apple cider vinegar is also rich in potassium which can help in easing allergenic effects. It’s also a natural astringent and acts to balance the PH of the skin.\nHow To Use It\nBragg’s organic apple cider vinegar is a popular go-to brand for eczema, and you can find it in most stores for a few bucks. ACV can be used topically in addition to taken orally.\nFor topical use:\nMix apple cider vinegar with an equal amount of water and apply it on the affected areas on the skin a few times per day with a clean cotton swab. Be patient; the results may take at least a week but can be very impressive! When applying the solution on a child or if you are just starting out, it is advisable to dilute the solution with more water (1:3 or 1:4 instead of 1:1).\nFor oral use:\nMix 1 tablespoon ACV with 1 tablespoon water, and drink several times daily, or use as a salad dressing. For children with discriminating tastes, you can mix with honey to make it more palatable.\nI really recommend giving this remedy a shot! It’s cheap, and has worked for many eczema suffers.", "domain": "health"}

(Cancer cell illustration by iStock)\nMore than two-thirds of cancer-causing mutations are the result of random mistakes in DNA replication that occur when normal cells divide, according to a paper published Thursday. The study is sure to renew a vigorous debate over how much people can do to prevent cancer and how much is unavoidable.\nThe researchers, mathematician Cristian Tomasetti and cancer geneticist Bert Vogelstein, both of Johns Hopkins University, set out to determine what proportion of cancer mutations are due to unpredictable DNA-copying errors — as opposed to the two other main contributors to cancer, inherited genes and environmental factors, such as smoking and obesity.\nFor their study, published in Science, the scientists used a mathematical model that analyzed genome sequencing and epidemiological data for 32 types of cancer. Overall, they concluded, 66 percent of mutations that contribute to cancer are due to unavoidable DNA-replication mistakes, while 29 percent are attributable to environmental factors and 5 percent to heredity. That doesn't mean that two-thirds of cancer cases are caused by random copying errors, they said; it can take three, four or more mutations to make a cell turn malignant.\nMoreover, the proportion of mutations due to random copying errors varies depending on the cancer, the researchers said. Random DNA-replication mistakes account for about 77 percent of critical mutations in pancreatic cancer, and virtually all childhood cancer, they said. By contrast, they concluded that more than two-thirds of the mutations in lung cancer were due to environmental factors, mostly smoking.\nHumans have trillions of cells, which are constantly regenerating by dividing and making new cells. But each time DNA is copied, the scientists said, an average of three random mistakes will occur. While most are harmless, a small number affect genes that will promote cancer.\nThe new research builds on a 2015 study that highlighted the role of “bad luck” — random DNA errors — in developing cancer. That study drew vehement protests from some cancer physicians and researchers who worried it would encourage people to take a fatalistic approach to cancer rather than trying to reduce their cancer risk by maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, eating a good diet and avoiding cigarettes.\nThe Hopkins researchers have said their earlier work was widely misinterpreted. Nevertheless, in a news briefing earlier this week, they took pains to stress that their study was consistent with estimates that 40 percent of cancers can be prevented, and urged the public to pursue healthy lifestyles.\nBut they also said it is important for scientists and the public to recognize that a large percentage of cancer mutations occur no matter how pristine the environment or how laudable someone's lifestyle choices.\n“Most of the enemies are inside us — they are already here,” Vogelstein said, referring to the random cancer-causing mutations. He said that science needs to find better ways to detect cancer early, when there is a greater chance of curing it.", "domain": "health"}

There isn’t much that deters them from training, and training hard. They don’t shy away from training simply because the weather is too hot or because the sun is too bright. Dedication keeps them going, no matter the cost. Training at high temperatures under the blazing sun is common for athletes in many parts of the world. However, without the right protective gear, they stand the risk of developing multiple health issues due to the heat and UV rays. What risks are associated with sun exposure? Sun exposure can cause more than a sunburn. It can result in a number of skin-related diseases and issues that are very easily prevented. According to research: • The sun’s UV radiation carries potentially harmful UV-A (longer wave) and UV-B (shorter wave) radiation. If overexposed to these rays, athletes may suffer accelerated aging, irreversible skin damage and multiple skin cancers. • UV-B rays, usually most intense in spring and summer, cause tanning and skin burns, both of which can cause damaged skin cells and a higher cancer risk. According to the Mayo Clinic, exercising in hot weather stresses the body and can cause: • Heat cramps: Painful muscle contractions that often show up during exercise, accompanied by spasms and unnatural muscle firmness. • Heat syncope and exercise-associated collapse: Nausea, lightheadedness and fainting occurring in high temperatures. Heat exhaustion: When body temperature becomes unnaturally high, it can lead to vomiting, nausea, fainting, weakness, and more. • Heatstroke: A life threatening condition in which body temperature is higher than 40 degrees celsius. How can athletes protect themselves from the sun? Simply put, cover up. Athletes need to wear a face mask or face cover that guards their faces and necks from extreme exposure to UV rays They also need to wear sunscreen consistently, hydrate at regular intervals, and be mindful of how their bodies arey is responding or reacting to the immediate environment. How to do that during hot weather training? Start Early It is best to workout and train as early in the day as possible, as it helps avoid the strongest and most harmful temperatures during the day. Carrie McCusker, a level 2 TrainingPeaks coach and a lifelong athlete, advises athletes to avoid the sun during its peak hours. She writes in her blog – “It is never too early or too late to start protecting your skin. Don’t be lulled into complacency by youth or less-sunny climes.” Hence, as far as possible, train early in the morning or after the sun goes down. A brisk morning workout sets the perfect tone for an active day. On the other hand, evening workouts are excellent for unwinding after a sedentary day. To be on the safe side, check the UV index before stepping out for exercise. Sun protection is required when UV levels are 3 or higher. Liberally Apply Sunscreen Few things are as painful and annoying as sunburns. They will disrupt workout schedules and can leave you inactive for days. To prevent this, apply SPF 50+ broad spectrum, water resistant sunscreen to clean, dry skin 15 minutes (or more) before stepping out. Carry the sunscreen without you and reapply every couple of hours if you aren’t back inside yet. Replenish Electrolytes If you’re venturing on moderate exercise for about 60 minutes, make sure to keep drinking water throughout. Don’t leave home without drinking at least 16 ounces of water. As per Kate Lemere, a fitness trainer and writer in the city of Chicago, one should “plan to spend 20% of your work day in the bathroom. If you have a large water bottle with you you’ll be more inclined to drink it, so buy a water bottle that is 40+ ounces so you don’t have to refill as often and make a goal to drink 3-4 of them throughout the day.” In case your workout is high-intensity and/or lasting more than an hour, switch to sports drinks with electrolytes (sodium, chloride and potassium). The human body needs these minerals to make up for fluids lost through sweating, and keep itself going without collapsing or being harmed. Gear Up with Protective Clothing “How can I protect my face from the sun naturally?” Pick out and wear workout clothes that have UV protection and material designed for easy movement. Rebecca Louise, a global fitness NASM Certified Trainer, correctly says, “As the temperature changes, our clothing needs to change too. In this case, we want them to be light and breathable. The more clothing that you put on, the more energy you drain!” We agree – lighter clothing is better for sun protection. Consider wearing clothes made up of sweat wicking material like – dry fit, nylon or polyester nylon blend – material that keeps the body cool. Wear a hat and sunglasses. The sun’s rays often reflect off surfaces like roads, sidewalks, sand and snow and hit the face, blasting it with harmful UV radiation. What Can You Do About Sun Exposure? Let’s be honest. Professional athletes can’t be running around with inconvenient hats and sunglasses that may fall off at the slightest provocation (what if you ran too fast or jumped too high?) They need something designed to give them guaranteed protection, no matter how hot it gets. Enter the expert: EX-SHADER: Designed for Sports People who Train in the Sun In an effort to provide athletes with the best protective gear, NAROO has created EX-SHADER fabric found in the N0 neck gaiter and N0U mask Equipped with sun protection mesh technology that provides 92% UV protection, this easy breathing fabric provides fans of the outdoors with great ventilation and quick-drying properties facilitating easy-breathing and comfort in the heat. It also addresses a major concern that athletes have: finding a breathable face cover that will let them undertake strenuous physical activity in the heat of the blazing sun. The best masks for hot weather are those which let the wearer breathe effortlessly even in the middle of intense physical activity and get all the oxygen they need – without excessive sweating on the face and neck. NAROO created these masks fit with breathable, UV protective EX-SHADER fabric. EX-SHADER is an interlocking mesh fabric structure comprising tightly-knit, net-like holes that offers 3 layers of UV protection whether you need a neck gaiter for fishing in the summer or a face mask for cycling in sunny mountain altitudes. Common mesh fabric, while very breathable and lightweight, is not effective against UV rays. That’s where the EX-SHADER shines – the interlocking fabric provides dependable UV protection where regular mesh cannot. Specific benefits of the EX-SHADER: • Structured in a way that provides ventilation and comfort in high heat. • Built so that the wearer can breathe easily even when performing strenuous physical activity. • Manufactured from proprietary NAROO Mesh Fabric that provides 92% sun protection • Dries quickly, even in hot, humid environments. • Reduces chances of skin ailments and associated illnesses caused by heat and sun exposure. • Easy to wash, clean, and maintain between uses. NAROO’s breathable sports masks have been inspected and certified by a number of prestigious verification bodies. Each line offers a unique solution to environmental problems that athletes often encounter. They are an important part of the active individual lifestyle, designed to protect them from environmental factors responsible for damaged health. Through consistent research and real-world upgrades, NAROO masks offer high levels of protection for individuals with active lifestyles, be it in the sun, rain, snow or wind.", "domain": "health"}

Alzheimer’s is predicted to affect 1 in 85 people globally by 2050.\nAs the disease advances, symptoms can include confusion, irritability and aggression, mood swings, trouble with language, and long-term memory loss. As the sufferer declines they often withdraw from family and society.Gradually, bodily functions are lost, ultimately leading to death.\nAlzheimer’s disease is characterised by loss of neurons and synapses in the cerebral cortex and certain subcortical regions. This loss results in gross atrophy of the affected regions, including degeneration in the temporal lobe and parietal lobe, and parts of the frontal cortex and cingulate gyrus.\nStudies using MRI and PET have documented reductions in the size of specific brain regions in people with AD as they progressed from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer’s disease, and in comparison with similar images from healthy older adults\nCurrently there are about 280,000 Australians living with dementia.

Here is a general guideline:\n- Beginner Male Users: Start with a daily dosage of 30-50mg, gradually increasing to 50-80mg over time.\n- Advanced Male Users: 80-100mg per day is considered an optimal range. However, it is crucial to monitor your body’s response and consult a healthcare professional.\n- Female Users: Due to Anavar’s mildness, women can tolerate higher dosages than most other steroids.

Here are some of the advantages:\n- Stress reduction: Scalp massages are incredibly relaxing and can help alleviate stress and tension. The gentle kneading and circular motions performed by a professional masseuse can help relax the muscles in your scalp, neck, and shoulders, releasing built-up tension and promoting a sense of calm and relaxation.\n- Improved blood circulation: Scalp massages stimulate blood flow to the scalp, which can enhance the delivery of oxygen and essential nutrients to the hair follicles. Improved circulation can promote healthier hair growth and contribute to overall scalp health.\n- Enhanced hair condition: By increasing blood circulation to the scalp, a scalp massage can help nourish the hair follicles and promote healthier hair growth. It can also help distribute the natural oils produced by your scalp, leading to improved hair texture, shine, and manageability.\n- Stress relief and headache reduction: Tension headaches and migraines can be triggered by stress and muscle tension in the scalp and neck area. A professional scalp massage can help alleviate headaches by reducing muscle tension and promoting relaxation.\n- Increased relaxation and improved sleep quality: The relaxing nature of a scalp massage can help you unwind and reduce anxiety. It can also promote better sleep by easing tension and inducing a state of relaxation, leading to improved sleep quality.\n- Scalp health promotion: Regular scalp massages can help maintain a healthy scalp by removing dead skin cells, excess oil, and product buildup. This can prevent issues like dandruff, dryness, and itching, leading to a cleaner and healthier scalp environment.\n- Improved mental clarity and focus: Scalp massages have been shown to stimulate the release of endorphins and promote relaxation. This can result in improved mental clarity, focus, and productivity, making it beneficial for those who need to concentrate or have demanding mental tasks.\n- Sense of well-being: Overall, a scalp massage can provide a soothing and pleasurable experience. It can contribute to a sense of well-being and offer a break from daily stresses, helping you feel rejuvenated and revitalized.\nWhile a professional scalp massage offers numerous benefits, it’s important to consider any potential contraindications or medical conditions you may have. If you have any concerns or specific health conditions, it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before receiving a scalp massage.", "domain": "health"}

However, living in a community that does not love and accept us can leave us feeling lonely in a crowd. In fact, UCLA states that 3 out of 4 people in the U.S. show signs of serious loneliness. They found a\nconnection between loneliness and a premature death. Approximately 42.6 million adults over age 45 in the United States are estimated to be suffering from chronic loneliness. The Harvard Study of Adult Development discovered that loneliness seems to be a better predictor of people's physical health at age 80 than their cholesterol levels.\nAccording to the responses from Gallop polls gathered over several decades in over 150 countries, the number of people who report a sense of well-being on all seven levels are less than 7%. And based upon the growing number of people on anti-depressants, that number is on the decline for all types of people, regardless of race, religion, or\nnationality. This workbook intends to explore this subject and pinpoint the gaps in our support system that might be responsible in part for the wide-spread lack of well-being around the world. What is missing in today’s society that\nproduces such loneliness and despair? Once identified, we can focus our think tanks filling in those gaps. We hope that every participant will join us for this important next step on their pathway to greater well-being.\nThis workshop starts by teaching how to create an environment of well-being. You will learn the 7 Elements of Well-Being and become familiar with the emotional needs that are common to all people no matter what their unique circumstances may be. Knowing this, we can formulate a plan that will assist any group in their goal of creating an environment of well-being.\nOver the course of 10 30-minute sessions, this workshop you will learn how to gain well-being as well as how to offer well-being to others. You will be taught how to create an environment of well-being in your home, your school, or your workplace.\nLearning the difference between “basic needs” and “emotional needs” you will learn the art of self-care that will improve their own well-being significantly. About half-way through the 10 sessions the program takes a fundamental shift in perspective from gaining well-being to offering well-being. This shift causes immediate improvements in your overall sense of well-being, elevating yourself from the \"needy recipient\" to the \"compassionate hero.\" You will be\nempowered to change the world around you through projects that we accomplish as a group.

If you are training to be a SUP racer, she recommends three different focused SUP workouts to build strength and stamina necessary to be a successful paddle racer. Remember to listen to your body, take rest days, alternate the intensity level of your workouts and always remember to pace yourself.\nSprint Interval Workout\nInterval training is built on alternating short, high-intensity bursts of speed with slower recovery phases in a single session. By performing high-intensity intervals that produce lactic acid during practice, the body adapts and burns lactic acid more efficiently during other exercises. This results in exercise at a higher intensity for a longer period of time before fatigue or pain slows you down. This will result in a more intense exercise that lasts for a longer period of time before any pain or fatigue slows you down.\nTry the interval workout below for a great way to improve your anaerobic system and sprint form. Be sure that you maintain sound technique when you’re sprinting, don’t simply slap the water while increasing stroke rate. Focus on making a solid catch before initiating your power phase. Lastly, always take an easier day of training before and after this workout. It’s a tough one!\n- 15-minute warm-up at 70-80 percent max heart rate (see sidebar).\n- 10 x 1-minute maximum effort sprints with a 1-minute rest between sprints.\n- 10-minute cool-down at 60 to 70 percent max heart rate.\nWhile sprint training will develop your anaerobic system, longer distance workouts at a lower intensity will help develop the aerobic system. Start doing these longer workouts earlier in your season to establish an aerobic base before heavy loads of anaerobic sprint workouts.\nDistance workouts do not need to be completed in a monotonous stretch at a single intensity. You can get more bang for your buck by alternating intensities during distance workouts. This will keep the workout engaging and realistically simulate race conditions, where paddlers frequently change pace.\n- 10-minute warm-up at 60-70 percent max heart rate.\n- 15 minutes at 80 to 90 percent max heart rate.\n- After 15 minutes, 1-minute sprint at max effort.\n- Repeat three times for a total of one hour at 80-90 percent max heart rate and 4 x 1-minute max sprint efforts.\n- 10-minute cool-down, 60-70 percent.\nCross Training Workout\nThe best way to train for paddling is through functional, sport-specific movements on your board. Training on the water is important, but training off the water helps you to become a complete athlete, prevents injury and maximizes your paddling potential.\nYou don’t need to go to the gym and lift weights to make performance gains through cross-training. Use this workout as a great way to improve your strength and prevent injury from overtraining on your board.\nComplete the exercises below as a circuit with 1-minute rests between each exercise. Complete four circuits.\n1) Push Ups\nBeginner: 20 reps\nAdvanced: 30 reps\nPlace your hands shoulder-width apart and at chest level. Draw shoulder blades back and down, keeping elbows tucked close to your body as you lower your chest to the ground. Keeping your core engaged, exhale as you push back to the starting position and repeat.\n2) Kneeling Opposites\nBeginner: 24 reps\nAdvanced: 24 reps\nEngage your core. From a kneeling position on all fours, extend your right arm and left leg. Return your limbs to center and extend your left arm and right leg. Repeat.\n3) Body Weight Squat\nBeginner: 10 reps (each leg)\nAdvanced: 12 reps (each leg)\nStanding on one leg, lower all the way down. Stabilize with your center of gravity over your grounded foot. Keep your core engaged and chest up. Keep your non-working leg extended straight out and arms extended. Do both legs if one leg is too difficult.\n4) Fire Hydrants\nBeginner: 12 reps (each leg)\nAdvanced: 12 reps (each leg)\nStart on all fours, knees directly under your hips and hands directly below your shoulders. Keep your back and neck straight and look forward. Keeping your knee bent, raise your right leg out to the side until your thigh is parallel to the floor like a dog peeing on a fire hydrant.\n5) Pull Ups\nBeginner: 6 reps\nAdvanced: 12 reps\nGrip the bar with your palms down and arms about shoulder-width apart. Pull yourself up by pulling your elbows down to the floor. Keep your elbows close. Pull yourself all the way up until your chin passes the bar. Lower yourself all the way down until your arms are nearly straight. Breathe. Repeat.\nBonus tip: Heart rate\nWhile heart rate benchmarks vary based on the individual, subtracting your age from 220 is a commonly recommended method for calculating what your max heart rate should be. When training, wear a heart rate monitor so you get immediate feedback about your training effort and minimize any guesswork.", "domain": "health"}

I ordered the ‘Emma Hardie Amazing Face Natural Lift and Sculpt Professional Cleansing and Exfoliating System’ (that’s quite the mouthful). It contains the Moringa cleansing balm, aromatherapy infused rosehip exfoliating seeds and the buff and polish cleansing cloth. Being a complete lover and addict of the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish, I considered myself quite brave for stepping out of my comfort zone and steady skincare regime to give this a whirl. Totalling at £33.60 for the whole kit, this cleanser isn’t cheap, but I also don’t consider that sky high for good quality skincare. After all, we have to spend a decent amount of money on our skin to enable us to have the perfect canvas for makeup.\nThe cleansing balm itself is contains moringa seed extract, wild sea fennel and vitamin E to minimize the appearance of pores. Orange, Neroli and Mandarin extracts to rejuvenate and revitalise and Jasmine, Cedarwood and Rose to help re-hydrate and re-condition dry or dull skin. It also claims to be very calming on sensitive skin too. I really like the smell of the cleanser, it smells really fresh and natural (none of that strong artificial stuff). I actually prefer the scent of this to my trusty cleanse and polish as it is a lot more subtle. I wasn’t sure that I would get to grips with smoothing an oily balm over my face as opposed to a cream but it’s pleasantly nice. The balm breaks down all traces of makeup and is safe to use on eyes too (nothing worse than getting cleanser in your eye and hopping around your bathroom in pain splashing water at your face).\nWhen I first looked at the size of the tub, I was a bit apprehensive about how long it would last me, but a little goes a really long way. I find that a £2 coin sized dollop is enough to do a whole face (bearing in mind I have a pea head) and then a little extra swipe afterwards if my makeup is a bit on the heavy side. I can see this lasting a lot longer than I initially thought. I also really love the cloth that is provided with this. I thought I’d forever be a muslin cloth girl, but the soft, gentle flannel is so much nicer to use on my skin. Saying that, it’s not as exfoliating, which is where the rosehip exfoliating seeds come in. You can incorporate these into the balm, and gently scrub your skin with the cleanser to give yourself a pampering treat. I have also enjoyed using these, however I don’t use them very regularly as I prefer to just use the cleansing balm on it’s own. You can also use the balm as a face treatment when left on for 10 minutes and wiped away.\nSince using the Emma Hardie cleanser, I have noticed a difference in the overall appearance of my skin. As someone with combination skin (oily and dry in places), it has definitely balanced it out, and the dry patches aren’t as dry and the oily patches aren’t as oily. I also feel as though my skin is a lot more hydrated and looks a lot more healthy. I also just really enjoy using this on my skin, it’s a real treat when it’s the end of the day and I can use this to remove my makeup, I almost look forward to it.

Many tools are available, but the MEI SwiftBladeTM-R stand out as a fully optimized, procedure-specific tool that improves ease-of-use for the surgeon.\nFeatures that make the MEI SwiftBladeTM-R effective are:\n- blade-shaped electrodes that allow much higher and faster energy deposition rates without charring of the tissue,\n- a broad array of bipolar electrodes which allow most liver resections to be done with a single placement of the tool,\n- a 5-channel RF generator with real-time tissue impedance measurement that modulates the RF energy,\n- a surgeon-defined handle shape that allows enough force to penetrate the liver capsule while providing fingertip precision for accurate placement, and\n- a proprietary switching algorithm that results in fast, uniform tissue coagulation independent of difference in tissue thickness.\nHaving one tool that can coagulate multiple 5mm blood vessels simultaneously, while creating a sterile wall of tissue for most liver resections with a single placement will reduce the surgical procedure complexity, time and cost.

Now, you may wonder how is it possible for a person to damage his/her teeth while sleeping. Ever heard of bruxism? Well this condition can do the damage without you being in a conscious state.\nBruxism is mainly associated with the teeth grinding and jaw clenching. If you are going through stressful situations during day time, there are chances that you will grind your teeth during night. In the start, there is no immediate effect you may suffer due to teeth grinding unless you are applying too much pressure. However, the changes in teeth structure occur with the passage of time. Moreover, it can also cause developmental issues in jaws. The most talked about effect of bruxism is that it results in wearing out of tooth enamel. This wearing out leads to the exposure of dentin, which is a softer layer of teeth. This layer has numerous pores which give easy passage to the bacteria that can be dangerous to the inner layer called pulp. This entire procedure can lead to the infection and death of a tooth.\nCauses and symptoms\nTeeth grinding or bruxism is commonly referred to as a physical manifestation of stress and anxiety. You don’t need to be fully conscious for this condition to persist. As a matter of fact, you may be able to keep yourself from grinding your teeth when you are awake.\nBesides stress, there are other issues which can result in bruxism. Some of those issues include alcohol consumption, substance abuse, sleep apnea, and bite and alignment issues.\nThere has been a lot of discussion about the signs of bruxism. Since it is the issue which mainly persists while sleeping, it could be hard for anyone to tell if he/she suffers from this issue. Most of the experts suggest that immediate way to know about this issue is to see if there is mouth soreness or jaw tightness in the morning.\nYour partner may be able to tell if you suffer from this issue. Teeth grinding produces a sound which might not be enough to wake you up. But your partner will surely be able to notice the sound.\nGrinding teeth for a bit longer can result in pain in head and ears. This pain can also serve as a sign to be noticed.\nDiagnosis and treatment\nIf you suspect that you suffer from bruxism, you need to visit your dentist. The dentist will check the level of stress being exerted on your teeth by noting the amount of wear on the chewing surface of teeth.\nThe most likely solution, your dentist is going to suggest you, is the use of mouth guard which would be designed for night use. The major advantage of this night guard is that it prevents upper and lower teeth from touching each other. As a result, you may be able to get rid of this condition permanently. You may be referred to a sleep specialist if your problem is complicated one.", "domain": "health"}

We use cocoa on a range of food products, from coffee to meat. It’s rich and intense flavor can also become addictive to the taste buds. But apart from being just a taste bud pleaser, cocoa also possesses certain health benefits.\n- Natural Anti-Depressant- Cocoa has proved beneficial in regulating mood. It is a natural anti-depressant that can reduce your stress levels and give a boost to your happiness levels as it contains the mood-boosting chemical, Anandamide.\n- Helps Fight Fatigue- Cocoa contains a crucial dose of caffeine, which helps in fighting tiredness and fatigue. It boosts energy in our body and helps us stay awake.\n- Rich in Antioxidants- Cocoa contains a good number of antioxidants, which helps keep our heart and the cardiovascular system healthy. Antioxidants such as flavanols and polyphenols present in cocoa improve blood circulation and lower bad cholesterols.\n- Protects Your Digestive Health- Antioxidants such as flavanols found in cocoa becomes prebiotic upon digestion. Prebiotics help improve digestive health by balancing the bacteria in the gut.\n- Protects Your Dental Health- Cocoa powder has proved to be beneficial in preventing tooth decay. Certain antibacterial properties present in cocoa beans have been, to some extent, found fighting Plaque. Also, a compound called CBH is found in the cocoa powder, which helps harden the enamel.\nMake sure to increase the intake of cocoa powder in your diet as it can significantly impact your overall health.", "domain": "health"}

Graham\nFirst published November 1st 2006 by Food N Sport Press\nI’d heard about The 80/10/10 Diet for roughly a year before I finally decided to read it, and the timing couldn’t have been more perfect.\nI was lucky enough to be able to read Douglas Graham's raw-food classic while living on a southern Thailand island with easy access to some of the most delicious and affordable raw vegan food on earth.\nDoug Graham's website, FoodNSport.com, says The 80/10/10 diet can help you achieve:\npeak performance for any athlete\nperfect weight, no matter what your body type\nsuccess with a low-fat vegan diet\nsimplicity in your lifestyle\na healthy relationship with your food\nIt becomes obvious early on that 80/10/10 (pronounced \"eighty ten ten\") is not supposed to be a diet in the usual temporary, get-in-get-out sense of the word, but instead a long-term healthy lifestyle change. He makes it clear that he knows diets don't work in the long term and is not shy about letting the reader know either.\nQuite simply, it refers to the recommended ratio of macronutrients by percentage of calories. Macronutrients being carbohydrates, fats, and protein. (Micronutrients being everything else.)\nWhat he recommends here is to get at least 80% of your calories from carbohydrates, and a maximum of 10% of your calories from fat and the remaining maximum 10% from protein.\nHe advocates getting this primarily from whole, fresh, ripe, raw, organic, seasonal, sweet fruits, plus a large raw green salad every night. This is to be supplemented with small amounts of raw nuts and seeds.\nAnd I must say, he makes a very convincing case for eating this way.\nThe fact is, nature has seen fit to provide food for every creature on Earth, and all creatures of similar type eat similarly—those for which their biological systems were designed. Do not let anyone tell you that humans are the one exception to this rule in all of the animal kingdom, for there are no exceptions: Animals that are anatomically and physiologically similar thrive on similar foods.\n- Douglas Graham in The 80/10/10 Diet\nThe main premise of this paradigm-shifting book - which Graham takes and then builds upon using a combination of referenced scientific evidence and results from his work advising world-class athletes - is encapsulated in the following paragraph (you can read more quotes like this below this review).\nAll of the creatures that are anatomically and physiologically like us (known as the anthropoid primates: gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees, and bonobos) thrive on a low-fat diet that is predominated by fruits and vegetables. Their caloronutrient ratios closely approximate 80/10/10. With the exception of the gorilla, whose great weight makes it almost impossible to climb the skinny branches of trees to procure fruit, they get more than 80% of their calories from the carbohydrates in fruit. The combined caloronutrient average for chimpanzees, bonobos, and orangutans is about 88/7/5. Add in the gorilla’s numbers, which come closer to 70% carbohydrate, and the average decreases, making the ratio almost exactly 80/10/10 for all of our anthropoid relatives.\nDoug Graham says that most other nutrition advice espoused by popular plant-based doctors are mostly in line with what he teaches, but because these doctors eat cooked food themselves, eating a completely raw diet is \"outside of their reality\", and so naturally, advocating for it is as well.\nEven though legitimately well-established scientists like T. Colin Campbell recommend eating 80/10/10 (video above), Campbell recommends a mixture of cooked and raw foods, most probably because that's what the science suggests is best, judging by, among other studies, the worlds longest living populations.\nTo be fair though, there are no large populations of humans that eat exclusively raw, so a direct comparison can not really be made. While this fact can be used as an argument both for and against going completely raw, what can't really be argued against is that to achieve the optimal health / minimal disease that everyone is looking for, people in general, including a lot of vegans, need to eat more whole fruits and vegetables. And a diet compromised of fresh fruits and vegetables, whether cooked or raw, almost effortlessly achieves the 80/10/10 macronutrient ratio.\nAs Dr Michael Greger points out, the soils where our store bought fruits grown these days are quite depleted compared to what they were tens of thousands of years ago, so in turn the nutrient composition of fruits these days are, to quote Greger himself, \"pale comparisons to what our ape ancestors ate.\"\nGreger does not provide any evidence as to why this means cooking other vegetables in place of them (which have a wildly different nutrient composition anyway) is a better alternative, though.\n\"No essential nutrient exists in meat, grains, legumes, or dairy that is not also available in fruits, vegetables, nuts and in a form that is easier to digest.\"\n- Douglas Graham\nAmong other things, Graham warns against the pitfalls of fragmented nutrition thinking and advice. This is expounded quite clearly when, along with an eating plan, Graham includes a Fundamental Elements of Health bullet point list, asking the reader to honestly rate themselves, from zero to ten, in everything on the following exhaustive list.\nGrahams says, \"though there is no official order or ranking, I would venture to say that the first ten are actually indispensable - essential - for even a moderate level of true health.\"\nClean, fresh air\nFoods for which we are biologically designed\nRest and relaxation\nEmotional poise and stability\nSunshine and natural light\nPeace, harmony, serenity, and tranquility\nThought, cogitation, and meditation\nFriendships and companionship\nGregariousness (social relationships, community)\nLove and appreciation\nPlay and recreation\nAmusement and entertainment\nSense of humour, mirth, and merriment\nSecurity of life and its means\nInspiration, motivation, purpose, and commitment\nCreative, useful work (pursuit of interests)\nSelf-control and self-mastery\nExpression of reproductive instincts\nSatisfaction of the aesthetic senses\nPositive self-image and sense of self-worth\nInternal and external cleanliness\nMusic and all other arts\nBiophilia (love of nature)\nIncluded after the main body of work is a meal plan, which is made up of a week's worth of recipes for each of the four yearly seasons, including breakfast, lunch and 3-course dinners. If you’ve never had your mouth water while reading raw food recipes before, I suggest you read these.\nBeing a single man in his twenties, my personal favourite thing about these recipes is how simple they all are to prepare. Which is not too surprising when you remember that one of the concepts Graham introduces in this book is “mono-meals” - eating only one food, say, bananas or mangos, per meal. Which might sound unfeasible… until you try it yourself and live the experience. Naturally, though, only the smallest fraction of the recipes are mono-meals.\nThere are lots of testimonials in the back of the book praising the low fat, high carb, 100% raw vegan diet Graham proposes here. I mean tons of these things. Page after page of heartfelt letters from people whose lives have been enriched by this diet either in terms of athletically performance or helping them recover from mental and physical diseases. The athletes abound in this section, which is not surprising because, as Graham says himself, \"the 80/10/10 Diet is a high energy diet.\"\nAs reassuring as these testimonials clearly are, this doesn't help me to forget that the rest of the book is lacking in references to clinical studies, trials and other scientific experiments compared to all the other vegan nutrition books I've reviewed. And in my mind at least, this does The 80/10/10 Diet a disservice.\nWhile I have been eating 80/10/10 for about a year now, reading this book (twice) hasn't made me go 100% raw for any meaningful period of time. It is very easy to eat in these ratio's while still cooking whole plant foods, and in my experience, semi-cooked 80/10/10 is a very effortlessly energetic, light, \"clean\" and delicious way to live, and not outside of what The 80/10/10 Diet is about, either. To quote from Graham himself in chapter 8, “If high-fat raw or low-fat cooked seem your only options, choose the low-fat option, every time.”\nAs fascinating as this book is, as concise and easy to digest as it's messages are, I think the reason I'm still eating some cooked food is that I'm always left wondering something... do the repeatedly scientifically proven health benefits of a cooked, whole foods 80/10/10 vegan diet out-weigh the mostly anecdotal claims of the raw vegan alternative presented here?\n4 / 5 stars.\nWould I recommend this book to someone interested in a raw vegan diet?\nWithout question. I can not imagine a more suitable text to kick-start anyone's raw vegan journey with confidence.\nWould I recommend this book to someone interested in just a regular vegan diet?\nAbsolutely. Even if the high fruit, 100% raw vegan lifestyle advocated for here is not followed exactly, there are always noticeable benefits to be had just from intelligently increasing your intake of raw fruits and leafy green vegetables. And that is science that no one can argue with.\nDr. Douglas Graham, a lifetime athlete and twenty-seven year raw fooder, is an advisor to world-class athletes and trainers from around the globe. He has worked professionally with top performers from almost every sport and every field of entertainment, including such notables as tennis legend Martina Navratilova, NBA pro basketball player Ronnie Grandison, track Olympic sprinter Doug Dickinson, pro women's soccer player Callie Withers, championship bodybuilder Kenneth G. Williams, Chicken Soup for the Soul co-author Mark Victor Hansen, and actress Demi Moore. As owner of a fasting retreat in the Florida Keys for ten years, Dr. Graham personally supervised thousands of fasts. He was in private practice as a chiropractor for twenty years, before retiring to focus more fully on his writing and speaking. Dr. Graham is the author of many books on raw food and health including The High Energy Diet Recipe Guide, Nutrition and Athletic Performance, Grain Damage, Prevention and Care of Athletic Injuries and The 80/10/10 Diet. He has shared his strategies for success with audiences at more than 4,000 presentations worldwide and is recognized as one of the fathers of the modern raw food movement.\nFriends, if you stop connecting with your loved ones over the food you eat, you have missed the point! Healthful living includes healthy relationships and compassion for your fellow humans. If you wish to contribute to your loved ones, accept them where they are, and then lead by example, with an open heart … you will have far greater success if you do. [page 15]\nThe Natural Hygiene approach to diet and nutrition is markedly different than the fragmented perspective that is common among health seekers and diet promoters. The fragmented view does not so much look at foods as it does their component parts. It also fails to distinguish true well-being from merely looking good, feeling good, or removing symptoms of dis-ease—a grave error, indeed. The fragmented approach extols the virtues of certain nutrients in a “pick-and-choose” fashion—the kind used in infomercial sales pitches. Excellently geared toward selling a specific product, this viewpoint never considers the full story, always omitting material that would give a more balanced view of the situation. Like a person who makes a decision after listening to only one side in a debate, the fragmented thinker relies on skewed information, and the resulting incomplete picture provides a misunderstanding of nutrition that can only spiral out of control. [page 26]\nI have heard estimates that scientists today may have discovered only 10% of the nutrients in existence, particularly the so-called phytonutrients (plant nutrients). In light of this, we might stop for a moment to wonder: How can any of us claim to have zeroed in on some specific nutrient deficiency and take informed action toward correcting it? It cannot be done intelligently, in my opinion. [page 29]\n[After talking of the possible dangers of vitamin/mineral supplements] People tell me that hearing this discussion confuses them, for they often experience welcome increases in energy and apparent reversal of health challenges through supplementation. I find that these results come, however, at great cost. If these individuals distance themselves from the supplement-vendor hype and slow their quest for quick relief, they usually notice that their life has become an endless shell game, in which they shift symptoms but never reach true health, homeostasis, and peace. page 30\nWhen we use remedies and therapies to eliminate symptoms, we do nothing to address their original cause, hence nothing to create health. We must educate ourselves about the causes of health (not disease) and include these in our daily routine. [page 32]\nThe big-picture approach that I espouse is based on this simple concept: “It is always better to correct a problem—to remove its cause—than it is to supplement or suppress it.” Nutrition is a very complex field of endeavor, and it is easily misunderstood and misinterpreted, just as the forest can become invisible when looking at individual trees. [page 33]\nPeople say, “Everything in moderation.” I suggest that foods that are good for us are good only in moderation, but that the foods that are harmful to us should be avoided, regardless of the dose. [page 35]\nSo, the answer is yes—humans are biologically equipped to supplement their diets with a wide variety of plant-based “vegetarian” substances. [page 45]\nDo you know anybody whose candida was caused by eating fruit? Do you know anybody whose diabetes was caused by eating fruit? Do you know anybody whose cancer was caused by eating fruit? If eating fruit didn’t cause these maladies, why would you believe that avoiding fruit would correct them? [page 55]\nWhen your diet is predominated by nut pâtés, seed cheeses, and flax crackers, it’s no wonder you’re told not to eat fruit. Whether or not we eat fruit in the presence of such tremendously high levels of fat, we set ourselves up for health problems and inability to remain raw. [page 63]\nAs a society, we have very much become adrenaline junkies. We are addicted to stimulation, and rely upon our next “fix” constantly. From the shock of the alarm clock and our morning coffee, to the newspaper headlines and the extreme behavior on daytime talk shows, to movies, spectator sports, and “reality” television shows designed to evoke intense emotions, to restaurant meals that are promoted more for their excitement value than for their nutrition, straight through the day till the eleven o’clock news that is filled with stories of death and destruction, we just keep calling for more adrenaline. Should there be a gap in the “action” we feel sleepy, a sure sign of exhaustion. We are literally living in a state of constant adrenal fatigue. This excessive adrenal demand, coupled with the high stress of our American lifestyle, result in such extreme overuse of the adrenals that they eventually begin to fail. [page 65]\nWhen medical professionals have their blinders on, seeking only to eradicate disease with no mind toward creating overall health in their patients, they produce bizarre and deadly short-sighted solutions. [page 76]\nThe fact is, nature has seen fit to provide food for every creature on Earth, and all creatures of similar type eat similarly. For example, horses—and all creatures that look like horses (zebras, donkeys, mules)—eat from essentially the same category of foods—those for which their biological systems were designed. Do not let anyone tell you that humans are the one exception to this rule (called the Law of Similars) in all of the animal kingdom, for there are no exceptions: Animals that are anatomically and physiologically similar thrive on similar foods. Cows eat grass, leopards eat meat, and hummingbirds eat nectar. There is simply no need to complicate this simple program, presented in perfection by nature in thousands of examples. All of the creatures that are anatomically and physiologically like us (known as the anthropoid primates: gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees, and bonobos) thrive on a low-fat diet that is predominated by fruits and vegetables. Their caloronutrient ratios closely approximate 80/10/10. With the exception of the gorilla, whose great weight makes it almost impossible to climb the skinny branches of trees to procure fruit, they get more than 80% of their calories from the carbohydrates in fruit. The combined caloronutrient average for chimpanzees, bonobos, and orangutans is about 88/7/5. Add in the gorilla’s numbers, which come closer to 70% carbohydrate, and the average decreases, making the ratio almost exactly 80/10/10 for all of our anthropoid relatives. [page 109]\nBefore our cells can utilize any food for fuel, whether it contains primarily carbohydrate, protein, or fat, it must first be converted into simple sugars. Carbohydrates are by far the easiest to convert to useful sugars. Glucose (a simple sugar) is the primary, preferred source of fuel for every tissue and cell of our bodies. In fact, some of our cells (the brain, red blood cells, and some nervous tissue, for example) depend almost exclusively on glucose as their fuel source. [page 120]\nThe balance of our daily calories, at least 80%, must come from some combination of carbohydrates and fat. Essentially, any decrease in carbohydrates must be accompanied by an increase in fat, assuming we continue to consume the same number of calories. [page 124]\nSo how do people lose weight on low-carbohydrate diets? In brief, research shows that these people invariably consume fewer total calories. Dr. Michael Greger’s superbly comprehensive and condemning eBook, Atkins Facts, sums it up well: In 2001, the medical journal Obesity Research published “Popular Diets: A Scientific Review.” Claiming to have reviewed every study ever done on low carb diets, they concluded, “In all cases, individuals on high-fat, low carbohydrate diets lose weight because they consume fewer calories.” (Obesity Research 9(2001):1S.) [page 124]\nAlthough we were designed with survival/backup mechanisms that allow us to transform noncarbohydrate foods into sugar in case of starvation or other extreme conditions, this capability was intended to be invoked only on rare occasion. We pay a huge price in terms of health and optimum functioning whenever we force our bodies to resort to fat (or worse, to protein) to fuel our cells, as these conversions are chemically inefficient compared with using carbohydrate for fuel. The body can only do so by expending substantial amounts of vital energy and producing toxic waste products along the way. [page 126]\nProper body weight is an effortless, natural outcome of optimum health, but optimum health is unlikely to result from a diet designed solely for weight loss. The followers of low-carbohydrate diets may achieve their weight-loss goals, but they imperil their long-term health in doing so. [page 126]\nYet due to the nutrient losses incurred during the cooking process, no cooked food can be viewed as a true whole food. In fact, the cooking process itself actually removes the water from food (with the exception of certain dehydrated foods that are actually rehydrated as they are cooked in water). No food whose water has been removed can realistically be viewed as a whole food. [page 127]\nAnd so, in spite of the fact that fruit is universally promoted as the ultimate health food, and in spite of their own conclusions that carbohydrates must predominate the diet in order for health to be possible, the majority of the world’s health professionals fail to see the obvious: A fruit-based diet is the finest possibility we have for developing optimum health. [page 128]\nThe meat and dairy industries like to point fingers at sugars, declaring them synonymous with empty calories. They have done such a good job of marketing that to this day most people do not understand the differences between refined simple sugars (empty-calorie junk foods) and the simple sugars in fruit (health food), thinking that “sugar is sugar.” [page 138]\nThink about this: If you have a goldfish, cat, or dog, do you change the very nature of their diet every time you move? Do zoo animals get entirely different classes of food, depending on the latitude of the zoo that houses them? Viewed in this way, it becomes obvious that we must honor the unique dietary requirements of each species, based on its particular digestive physiology. [page 142]\nHumans are anatomically and physiologically adapted to the food of the tropics, predominantly fruit, as are almost all of the tropical creatures. In Central America, for example, all mammals with the exception of the river otter and the jaguar are known to eat fruit, as are most of the birds, many of the amphibians, and quite a few of the reptiles. No logical or scientific reason exists to conclude that simply because we have moved away from the tropics, we should therefore change what has been our natural food for the great majority of our time on Earth. Regardless of where we go on this planet (or even whether we ever venture off of the planet to other worlds), tropical fruits remain our natural foods, the only cuisine for which we are perfectly designed.\nPeople who live in temperate areas still require the foods for which they were designed, just as zoo animals that are geographically relocated still retain their physical requirements. [page 144]\nIn his book The China Study, renowned Cornell University professor emeritus of nutritional biochemistry T. Colin Campbell states that we require only 5–6% of our total calories to come from protein in order to replace the protein we routinely lose, and that “About 9–10% protein has been recommended for the past fifty years to be assured that most people at least get their 5–6% ‘requirement.’” \nExcessive fat consumption may be commonplace, but it is nothing short of nutritional disaster. [page 178]\nIf high-fat raw or low-fat cooked seem your only options, choose the low-fat option, every time. [page 188]\nWhile perfect health is our natural state, it occurs only when we take perfect care of ourselves. [page 202]\nWe should not fool ourselves into believing that anything resembling true health is possible without regular, vigorous exercise. [page 203]\nDehydration is considered a contributor to more diseases of lifestyle than any other single factor except fat. [page 207]\nIf we are to (correctly) assume that the necessary amount of water is in our fresh plant foods before we cook them, we can be certain that an insufficient quantity is left after we cook them. [page 209]\nSo cooking food results in a double whammy—not only does it remove water, but a great many toxins are created in the process, increasing our need for water. [page 209]\nAs our levels of physical activity or stress rise, so does the quantity of endogenous toxins we produce, as cellular output increases. This is one of the reasons that we are told to drink water before, during, and after exercise and other physical pursuits—to dilute the toxins we produce. [page 210]\nOur perspective of “normal” volume has been skewed by the low-water, low-fiber, high-fat meals we have been eating all our lives. [page 215]\nSupplement vendors publish convincing literature to convince you that their green powders or “whole-food-based” supplements supply concentrated nutrition in amounts you could not get from fresh fruits and vegetables. But taking them can serve only to imbalance you, as even in deficiency conditions, we do not need more of any nutrient than we can get in a variety of whole, fresh, ripe, raw plants eaten in sufficient quantity to maintain our body weight. [page 217]\nBecause hunger is the general desire for food, when one is truly hungry, any food will be acceptable. Appetite, on the other hand, is specific—we desire a specific food or foods. Appetite is also the socially acceptable word for craving, which in turn is the socially acceptable word for addiction. [page 219]", "domain": "health"}

(pain control).\nWhere the usual settings for conventional or high-frequency T.E.N.S. involve pulse rates in the 100-150 Hz (pulses per second) range, a rate of 30-50 Hz would be used for N.M.E.S. applications so as to not prematurely fatigue the target muscles. As most rehabilitation protocols call for lots of “reps” (repetitions) it is important to be able to do a muscle stim treatment for 15 – 30 minutes. The higher the frequency the more rapid the tiring of the muscle tissues, so this time period may not be possible unless the parameters are adjusted properly.\nAnother factor to be considered in any N.M.E.S. treatment regimen is the “duty cycle” of the stimulation. This would be the length of time the muscle is actually contracted compared to the time it “rests” between contractions. Usual treatments are in the range of 5-15 seconds “ON” with an “OFF” time of 10-30 seconds.\nIf the approach is to gain endurance in the muscle then it is more important to have increased “OFF” times (ie. less fatigue) in order to be able to do the maximum number of repetitions in the time allotted.\nIf, however, the goal is to achieve a major increase in bulk or strength, then a more aggressive approach using longer “ON” times and shorter “OFF” times is required. The fatiguing of muscles will be more evident and may require less frequent sessions.\nAnother thing to note is that some N.M.E.S. units also have T.E.N.S. capability. In other words you would be able to use the same device to rehabilitate your atrophied muscle and also use it for pain control as required.", "domain": "health"}

Having a well-designed home gym not only provides convenience but also offers numerous benefits, such as saving time and money on gym memberships, exercising in the comfort and privacy of your home, and creating a personalized workout space that aligns with your fitness goals. In this article, we will explore how to create a functional and beautiful home gym, from assessing your space and budget to incorporating safety measures, green practices, and more.\nAssessing Your Space and Budget\nBefore embarking on your home gym project, it’s crucial to assess the available space and location. Consider whether you have a spare room, a garage, a basement, or even a designated corner in your living area that can be converted into a workout space. Once you determine the space, it’s essential to set a realistic budget for your home gym. Factor in the cost of equipment, flooring, lighting, and any other necessary modifications.\nSelecting the Right Equipment\nTo design a functional home gym, start by identifying your fitness goals and needs. Whether you’re into strength training, cardio, or a mix of both, your equipment selection should align with your workout preferences. Essential gym equipment may include a quality treadmill or elliptical machine, a versatile set of dumbbells, resistance bands, a stability ball, and a yoga mat.\nFor those with limited space, consider space-efficient and multi-functional equipment options. Foldable or stackable machines can help maximize space when not in use. Additionally, investing in equipment that can target multiple muscle groups can be a smart choice.\nWhen purchasing equipment, prioritize quality and safety considerations. Look for reputable brands, read reviews, and ensure that the equipment is durable and safe for use. Your home gym should be a place where you can exercise with confidence.\nCreating an Inviting Atmosphere\nDesigning a beautiful home gym goes beyond functionality; it should also be an inspiring and inviting space. Start by choosing a color scheme that energizes and motivates you. Bright and bold colors can instill enthusiasm, while calming tones can create a serene ambiance for yoga or meditation sessions.\nMaximize natural light and ventilation whenever possible. Sunlight can boost your mood and energy levels during workouts. If natural light is limited, opt for artificial lighting that mimics natural sunlight, such as full-spectrum or daylight LED bulbs.\nIncorporating motivational artwork and quotes can be a powerful way to stay motivated during workouts. Decorate the walls with posters or canvases that showcase your favorite fitness quotes or images of athletes you admire.\nMirrors and Space Illusion\nMirrors are an essential element in a home gym, serving both functional and aesthetic purposes. They allow you to check your form and technique during exercises, reducing the risk of injury. Moreover, strategically placed mirrors can create an illusion of more space, making the gym feel more open and expansive.\nConsider placing mirrors on walls facing each other or on opposite sides of the room to create a visually larger space. However, be cautious not to overdo it, as an excessive number of mirrors can be distracting.\nFlooring and Soundproofing\nChoosing the right flooring is crucial for a functional and safe home gym. Opt for materials that provide adequate cushioning to reduce the impact on joints during high-impact exercises. Rubber flooring or interlocking foam tiles are excellent choices for shock absorption and durability.\nSoundproofing is another critical aspect, especially if you share your living space with others. Loud noises from workouts can be disruptive, so invest in soundproofing solutions like acoustic panels or foam to absorb excess noise and keep your home gym peaceful.\nOrganized Storage Solutions\nKeeping your home gym organized is essential for a seamless workout experience. Design storage solutions that accommodate your equipment and accessories. Wall-mounted racks or shelves can hold dumbbells, kettlebells, and resistance bands, saving valuable floor space.\nConsider using vertical storage to make the most of your wall space. Pegboards or wall hooks can keep smaller items like jump ropes and exercise bands easily accessible while maximizing floor space for movement.\nAdditionally, incorporating hidden storage options, such as cabinets with doors, can help maintain a clean and clutter-free environment in your home gym.\nEntertainment and Technology\nMotivate yourself during workouts by incorporating entertainment options and technology. Install an audio system or Bluetooth speakers to play your favorite workout playlists or motivational podcasts. A television or tablet can be an excellent addition to stream workout videos, follow fitness apps, or even participate in virtual training sessions.\nTake advantage of smart fitness technology and apps to track your progress, set fitness goals, and stay accountable. Many fitness apps offer workout routines, nutrition guides, and real-time data on your performance, making them valuable tools in achieving your fitness objectives.\nComfort and Climate Control\nCreating a comfortable environment in your home gym is vital for enjoyable and productive workouts. Proper climate control is essential to regulate temperature and humidity levels. Invest in heating and cooling systems to maintain a comfortable temperature year-round, ensuring your workouts are not affected by extreme weather conditions.\nAdequate ventilation is crucial for circulating fresh air and preventing stuffiness. Ceiling fans or air purifiers can improve air circulation and provide a refreshing breeze during intense workouts.\nIncorporate comfortable seating or relaxation areas where you can rest and recover between sets or after workouts. Having a dedicated space to cool down and stretch can enhance your overall gym experience.\nSafety should be a top priority when designing your home gym. Follow these essential safety measures to create a safe workout environment:\n1. Ensure proper spacing between equipment to prevent collisions during exercises.\n2. Secure heavy equipment to walls or the floor to prevent tipping.\n3. Install safety mats or pads around high-impact areas, such as weightlifting stations.\n4. Keep a first-aid kit readily available in case of minor injuries or accidents.\nBy implementing these safety precautions, you can exercise with confidence and minimize the risk of injuries.\nGreen and Sustainable Home Gym Practices\nEmbrace eco-friendly practices when designing your home gym to minimize your environmental impact. Consider the following green options:\n1. Opt for energy-efficient lighting, such as LED bulbs, to reduce electricity consumption.\n2. Choose equipment made from sustainable materials or those that can be recycled.\n3. Incorporate indoor plants to improve air quality and add a touch of natural beauty to your gym.\nSmall changes can make a significant difference in creating an eco-friendly workout space that aligns with your commitment to sustainability.\nMaintenance and Cleaning Tips\nMaintaining a clean and well-organized home gym is essential for a safe and hygienic workout environment. Establish a regular cleaning routine to keep dust and dirt at bay, preventing the accumulation of allergens.\nWipe down equipment after each use to remove sweat and bacteria. Additionally, check and tighten any loose bolts or screws regularly to ensure the safety and longevity of your equipment.\nDesigning a functional and beautiful home gym is a rewarding project that allows you to create a personalized workout space that meets your fitness needs and aesthetic preferences. Assess your space and budget, select the right equipment, and create an inviting atmosphere that motivates you to stay active and healthy.\nIncorporate practical solutions for storage, mirrors, flooring, and soundproofing to optimize your gym space. Add entertainment and technology to keep your workouts engaging and fun. Prioritize safety, comfort, and climate control to ensure a safe and enjoyable workout experience.\nEmbrace green and sustainable practices to reduce your environmental impact and create an eco-friendly gym. Lastly, maintain cleanliness and organization to preserve the functionality and beauty of your home gym for years to come. With these tips, you can design a home gym that enhances your fitness journey and empowers you to achieve your health and wellness goals.", "domain": "health"}

The exercises are effective for improving bladder control, reducing back or pelvic pain, and recovering from childbirth, abdominal or prostate surgery or trauma. They are also useful for sexual functioning, digestive troubles and hip problems. Equestrians, dancers and movement teachers will find immediate application in their own field.\nThe exercises in the Pelvic Health and Awareness program, supported by the research, emphasize the use of the pelvic floor muscles with other muscles in the hips, legs and torso, as part of a coordinated system. The lessons use larger functional movements, breathing, imagery and directed attention to improve awareness and control of the pelvic floor.\nThe audio program includes everything you need to know in order to benefit. When you have completed the program, you will have more awareness and control of the pelvic floor. The lessons have easy-to-follow instructions for what to do, how to do it, and where to direct your attention.\nThere are six educational talks and six easy-to-do Awareness Through Movement® lessons.

For pharmaceuticals to gain approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the U.S, or any similar organisation in another country, they are required to undergo extensive testing and clinical trials.\nThis research has to be directed toward the efficacy, safety and reliability of the medication. But, furthermore, the adverse effects of the medicine have to be evaluated as well. These adverse events must be listed in the medication guide or patient information leaflet (PIL).\nThe FDA urges patients to be forthcoming about the side effects of different pharmaceuticals as it provides useful information pertaining to the safety of the medicament.\nIn most cases, the severity of side effects is known to worsen in situations where there is non-compliance to the recommended guidelines of usage. This can be done by not taking the medication as instructed or using dosages greater than those prescribed.\nAccording to many patients, diazepam side effects are typically mild in severity, but this can be more severe in circumstances where the medication is used more frequently than it should.\nHow to Classify the Side Effects of Valium\nSome adverse events are more likely to occur than others, and so side effects are classified based on their probability of occurring in a patient administering the therapeutic. No two patients are alike and so the way in which a medicine can affect a person is likewise, different.\nThe probability of side effects can be classified as:\n- Very common: greater than (or equal to) one in ten people\n- Common: between one in ten and one in 100 people\n- Uncommon: between one in 100 and one in 1000 people\n- Rare: between one in 1000 and one in 10 000 people\n- Very rare: less than one in 10 000 people\nThe information contained in the PIL is merely a guideline of the possible side effects that can occur, and is not a definitive indication that a particular adverse event will occur. The PIL is, furthermore, a list of the known side effects that occur with the administration of the medication. It is not an exhaustive list and further side effects, unbeknown to the manufacturer, can occur.\nNot every side effect is undesired or negative, some side effects can be beneficial, albeit unintentional, consequences of a using a particular medicine.\nValium Side Effects and Reactions\nAn adverse event is one which occurs during therapy, but does not necessarily have a direct relationship with the medicament. An adverse reaction, on the other hand, has a direct relation to the medicine during treatment.\nAdverse Reactions can be classified as:\n- Dose-dose reactions: these are interactions which occur with the medication at either the normal dosage or an elevated amount of therapeutic administered.\n- Non-dose-related reactions: an adverse reaction which occurs at any administered dosage\n- Time related reactions: these are reactions which occur when a medication is used for a prolonged period of time, but which does not necessarily accumulate under normal conditions.\n- Dose and time-related reactions: these interactions occur based on dose accumulation and prolonged administration.\n- Withdrawal reactions: the undesired effects resulting from the discontinuation of treatment\n- Unexpected failure of therapy: when a medication is known to increase or decrease in an unexpectedly undesired way.\nA possible adverse reaction to this anti-anxiety medication is an allergic reaction. These can be mild in severity or more complicated for those who are severely allergic to the ingredients in the therapeutic.\nMild cases of hypersensitivity to a medicine can be seen as hives, rashes and itchy skin or eyes. More severe allergies involve restrictions to the respiratory system, and it is in these cases that one discontinues treatment immediately and seeks emergency medical services.\nCommon Side Effects of Valium\n- ‘Spinning’ sensations: this is also referred to as vertigo, and feels as though you, or the world around you, is spinning. This sensation is a feeling of being off balance and can be eased by sitting in an upright position and tilting your head in a 45 degree angle, in the direction opposite to where you may be experiencing the vertigo. You should remain in this position for at least 30 seconds and then repeat this exercise in the opposite direction.\n- Constipation: constipation can set in when there are infrequent bowel movements and the passing of stools becomes difficult. In general, bowel movements less than 3 per week in frequency can be regarded as constipation. Increasing the intake of fibre-rich foods can help relieve the discomfort of this side effect. Adequate hydration is also important for managing constipation.\n- Fatigue: this is a term used to describe the intense feeling of tiredness. Fatigue is not the same as feeling sleepy but can be regarded as a complete lack of motivation to do anything. Eating small, frequent, energy-boosting meals can help effectively relieve these intense feelings of tiredness.\nDo the Side Effects of Diazepam Affect Everyone the Same?\nIt is not known exactly how a side effect will affect person, but Diazepam is thought that adverse events tend to be more severe for older persons than younger individuals. This is due to the increased sensitivity of the elderly to the ingredients of a medication, and this hypersensitivity can be related to the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of a therapeutic.\n- Pharmacodynamics: these are the physiological and biochemical effects of the medication. Seniors are prone to heightened side effects as the aging process brings about physiological changes in the elderly, resulting in different pharmacodynamic actions of the medicine.\n- Pharmacokinetics: this refers to the activity of the medication in the body, over a certain period of time. Seniors normally have decreased hepatic and renal functioning as compared to younger people, and this can affect the elimination of the therapeutic from the body. If the medication accumulates in the body of an elderly person, enhanced adverse events are likely which can thereby affect the daily functioning of the patient.\nSenior citizens are advised to use medicaments with caution, and specifically at lower dosages to minimise the risk of heightened Valium side effects.", "domain": "health"}

Obesity and overweight increase the risk of several diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and coronary heart disease, and are also associated with osteoarthritis, asthma and depression.\nSince overweigh and obesity are common in many economically developed countries, it is important to monitor the development of these conditions over time in order to assess interventions aimed at preventing and lessening the burden for those who are affected.\nA recently published study set out to provide current information about the prevalence and development over time, of overweight and obesity among adults, aged 50 years and older, in ten European countries. To do so, the researchers behind the study analyzed data from the first, second, fourth and fifth waves of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). Body mass index (BMI) measures were calculated from self-reported height and weight in accordance with the World Health Organization’s guidelines.\nThe results from the study showed that the general prevalence of overweight has remained at a rather stable level around 60% between the years 2005 and 2013, while the prevalence of obesity has increased from 17.5% to 19.2% during the same time period. The highest prevalence of overweight and obesity were found in Spain, Germany and Austria. Spain was also the only country in which the prevalence of both overweight and obesity decreased between 2005 and 2013, and Italy was the only country in which the prevalence of overweight deceased. The study also showed that the prevalence of overweight increased between the years 2005 and 2013 for respondents in the age group 80 years and older while it decreased for respondents in the age group 60 to 69 years. The prevalence of obesity increased for respondents in the age groups 60 to 69 years and 70 to 79 years. The prevalence of overweight decreased slightly among women during the studied time period while it remained at a stable level among men. The prevalence of obesity on the other hand, increased among men during the time period while it remained unchanged among women.\nTo sum up, the findings show that the prevalence of overweight and obesity is high among the older population in the ten European countries studied. The researchers behind the study emphasize that overweight and obesity are major public health concerns to which attention needs to be paid. They stress the need for developing medical management approaches and public-health policies, effective healthy lifestyle programs, as well as enhancing health literacy concerning the importance of maintaining a healthy weight.\nThe text above is based on the publication:\nPeralta, M., Ramos, M., Lipert, A., Martins, J. and A.

From harsh synthetic fabrics to chemical-laden textiles, our wardrobe decisions can either support or detract from our skin’s well-being. However, there’s a new player in town, the brand APRIL22, that’s revolutionizing the way we think about skincare and fashion: biodegradable tights infused with aloe vera.\nWhat’s The Problem with Conventional Tights?\nConventional tights are typically made from synthetic materials like nylon and polyester. These materials can trap moisture, leading to sweat buildup and potential skin irritation. Moreover, the chemicals used in the production process can exacerbate existing skin conditions and contribute to environmental pollution.\nThe Healing Power of Aloe Vera\nAloe vera has long been revered for its medicinal properties, particularly in skincare. Rich in antioxidants, enzymes, and vitamins, this succulent plant is renowned for its ability to soothe, hydrate, and rejuvenate the skin. From calming inflammation to promoting collagen production, aloe vera offers a myriad of benefits for skin health.\nThe Healing Power of Sustainable Production\nBy sourcing certified fabrics and opting for natural colors, sustainable production ensures that biodegradable tights are free from harmful chemicals and toxins that can irritate or harm the skin. These thoughtful decisions not only promote a healthier environment but also contribute to the well-being of the wearer, offering a comfortable and gentle alternative to conventional synthetic textiles.\nInnovative smart yarn\nAmniSoul, renowned for its exceptional softness and breathability, offers a luxurious wearing experience while prioritizing eco-consciousness. Crafted with care, this innovative fabric not only decomposes efficiently but also boasts hypoallergenic properties, making it gentle and soothing against the skin. Its moisture-wicking capabilities ensure comfort throughout the day, while its durability guarantees longevity without compromising on comfort or environmental impact.\nBenefits for Skin Health\nWearing APRIL22 biodegradable tights infused with aloe vera can have several positive effects on skin health:\n- Hydration: Aloe vera’s moisturizing properties help keep the skin hydrated, reducing dryness and flakiness.\n- Soothing: Aloe vera has anti-inflammatory properties that can calm irritated or sensitive skin, providing relief from itching and redness.\n- Nourishment: The vitamins and minerals present in aloe vera nourish the skin, promoting a healthy complexion and improving overall texture.\nEnvironmental and Ethical Considerations\nOpting for biodegradable tights aligns with eco-conscious and ethical values. By choosing sustainable fashion options, consumers can reduce their carbon footprint and support environmentally responsible practices in the fashion industry.\nThe intersection of fashion and skincare has never been more exciting. APRIL22 biodegradable tights offer a holistic approach to skin health, combining the benefits of sustainable materials with the healing properties of nature. By making mindful choices in our wardrobe selections, we can nourish our skin, minimize environmental impact, and contribute to a more sustainable future.", "domain": "health"}

It works by stimulating collagen, a natural substance within our skin. Thermage is a radiofrequency treatment that can be used on all skin types and colours. It can be used anywhere on the body with the facial area being the most popular choice for treatment.\nThe treatment works by a hand piece that has a smooth flat tip being moved over the skin. The radiofrequency treatment gently heats the collagen rich deeper layers of our skin. The heat used will help to tighten collagen already present and stimulate production of new collagen over a period of time. This will reduce sagging, renew contours and make an improvement to the smoothness and overall texture of the skins surface. Thermage treatment for the eyes is particularly effective and can smooth and tighten the skin to reduce wrinkles. Unlike other types of radiofrequency treatments that generally work after three or four sessions Thermage delivers results with just one treatment. Some difference can be noticed straight away with continued improvement over a few months. The entire process can take as little as forty five minutes to treat the facial area and up to an hour and a half to treat body areas.\nThe exact cost of Thermage treatment will vary between clinics and consultants. It might be worth while looking around to get the best deal. The exact cost also depends on your individual requirement. How large the area to be treated is and how many areas that need treatment and the overall condition of the area to be treated. The exact cost for your individual needs can be worked out upon an initial assessment at your chosen clinic. Generally prices in the UK start from £1,500.\nAs Thermage is a completely non surgical and non invasive treatment it is considered very safe for patients. Some patients may feel that there skin is very slightly sore and feels tight after treatment. There is no down time with Thermage treatment and patients should be able to continue with normal everyday activities straight away.", "domain": "health"}

I am honored that you have started your treatment journey at Root & Branch, and look forward to working with you!\nSelecting a Treatment\nRoot & Branch has 3 types of sessions to choose from, all of which are described in detail on the Services page. In short, the Recover treatment is structured like a passive traditional massage therapy session; the Mend treatment blends massage therapy with a wider variety of therapeutic modalities and frequently includes active movement work in addition to massage; the Thrive session is primarily a guided movement session with manual and tactile cuing. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about the treatment menu!\nPrior to your session, you will be asked to fill out some paperwork to help your therapist better understand what brings you in for a massage, and how they can best meet your treatment goals and expectations. Performing a thorough intake prior to a massage is particularly important to ensure your safety, which is why it’s important to answer all questions in full (even if they seem unrelated to what you’re coming in for). In addition to detailing any injury history or physical symptoms, be sure to disclose any allergies and medications.\nPlease don’t hesitate to disclose any accessibility needs in your intake (e.g. assistance required on the stairs). This includes any sensory needs as well (scents, sounds, textures, quality of touch).\nAt Root & Branch, your initial intake is performed online upon scheduling your first session, and your therapist will perform any additional screening and interviewing prior to your session.\nPreparing for a Session\nI recommend making sure that you’re nice and hydrated before receiving any bodywork (and be sure to use the restroom before your session so you can fully relax on the table for 60 to 90 minutes!).\nWearing loose clothes that are easy to get in and out of will make it easy for you to transition to/from the treatment table. For Mend sessions that may include some movement and clothed treatment techniques, I recommend wearing loose athletic clothing, and bringing a pair of shorts if we’ll be working on your lower body. People with long hair may want to tie their hair back – but don’t worry, if you forget your hair tie, Root & Branch has a bowl of them in the treatment room!\nMany clients find that pre-paying for a treatment helps them better relax mentally during the session. Root & Branch provides the option to pre-pay for appointments scheduled online; additionally, you can always contact your therapist ahead of time to pay via Paypal or Venmo.\nI always recommend planning on arriving to your first session at least 10 minutes before your scheduled treatment time – this gives you a time cushion to find the studio, park, use the restroom, and review your intake with your therapist, and ask the therapist any questions.\nStart of the Session\nFor a traditional massage treatment (such as the Recover), your therapist will orient you to the treatment table, face cradle (that U-shaped pillow at the head of the table) and draping (sheets and blanket).\nHere is what a typical massage table set-up looks like:\nYour therapist will step out of the treatment room to give you space to undress to your comfort level and lie down on the treatment table between the sheets. Depending on the focus of your treatment, you may be asked to lie face down (with your face in the U-shaped face cradle), or face up (with the back of your head on the table). If your positioning on the table feels uncomfortable at all, let your therapist know so they can add/adjust any pillows or bolsters to offer better support during your treatment.\nThere is no right or wrong way to undress for a massage, but it can be helpful to have any areas of focus for your treatment clear of any straps (such as a bra) or thick layers of clothing (such as denim). Some clients prefer to keep their underwear on, and some will choose to keep their pants on if they want to focus on the upper body only. Per state law, the client’s body must remain covered throughout the treatment session; the therapist individually undrapes each region of the body being worked on, then redrapes afterward.\nDuring Mend treatment sessions, your therapist may recommend focusing on some mat-based movement and assessment, as well as clothed treatments on the table before or after receiving massage. If this is the case, your therapist will continuously check in and guide you through the process.\nDuring the Session\nEspecially for massage first-timers, I typically start a session with some gentle grounding work to help the client relax and acclimate to therapeutic touch. This can include some compression (pressing into the body with a broad hand), rocking, and deep breathing. This also gives me the opportunity to observe how the body lays at rest and notice any patterns of tension, which will help guide the treatment session.\nTreatment techniques used during a session are always tailored to the individual, with safety and efficacy prioritized. Sometimes it is not safe or advisable to use very deep pressure (and this often creates further long-term issues despite the short-term relief); however, other techniques may be used to address an area of increased tension or irritability. Many massage-experienced clients are surprised to find that they actually have a better long-term response to a gentler treatment than the “hurts-so-good” deep-tissue treatments they have received in the past (and there is a reason for that, but that’s a topic for a whole other post!).\nIt's completely normal to fall asleep or for your belly to start rumbling during a session – actually, it’s a good thing! Both are indications that your autonomic nervous system has shifted out of the “fight or flight” sympathetic state to the “rest and digest” parasympathetic state, which is where recovery and rebuilding happens.\nAfter the Session\nAt the conclusion of a massage session, the therapist will leave the room to allow you to slowly transition back to the outside world and get dressed. At Root & Branch, I ask you to just crack the door of the treatment room open when you’re all set, allowing you the time and space you need.\nI always recommend staying extra hydrated following a session and taking it easy with any exercise or vigorous work following the session that day. It’s okay to train after a massage, but I do recommend keeping your training volume at a lower intensity and taking extra time to warm up and map out your body at the start of your training session, since bodywork, stretching, and deep relaxation work can temporarily alter your proprioception and general reaction speed following. That said, it CAN be beneficial to actively move your body through its full range of motion when you’re integrating new movement patterning or postural habits!\nMany clients note that their sleep and digestion feel better after receiving bodywork, in addition to feeling lighter and less restricted with movement.\n“That was amazing! How often should I be doing this?”\nThe answer to this completely depends on what your goals are for seeking treatment, as well as what your body and self-care routine looks like outside of the studio. The needs of a musician seeking relief for repetitive overuse issues will look different from those of a triathlete with the same stated goal.\nFor managing anything that is chronic in nature (such as fibromyalgia or posture-related pain), regular treatment sessions every 2 weeks or so can be beneficial. I often work with elite athletes weekly or biweekly to assist with recovery and injury prevention. For a general tune-up and stress management, once a month is sufficient for many.\nThe effects of regular bodywork are cumulative, and I do find that my clients who are able to book a few sessions every 1-2 weeks initially (then transition to 1-2 times a month or as needed) tend to have better long-term treatment outcomes. It is also important to regularly do any stretches or mobility activities recommended during a session to see any benefit from them – even with regularly scheduled sessions, performing a doorway pec stretch once every 2 weeks is not enough to meaningfully alter your posture!\nHopefully this post leaves you feeling prepared and ready for your session. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate t", "domain": "health"}

By providing access to crucial support services in schools and at our Youth Center, Alternatives reaches more than 800 youth and their families annually with services that range from prevention to skill-building to crisis response.\nAt Alternatives, youth and families work with professional counselors to identify and address risk factors including mental health issues, substance abuse, family issues, homelessness and violence. Clinical and Crisis Services Counseling and/or case management services are offered through the following programs:\nGroup and Individual Counseling reaches hundreds of youth and families each year at Alternatives’ Uptown youth center and through school-based health centers at Senn, Roosevelt, Uplift, and Northside Prep High Schools.\nIn the schools, Alternatives provides individual and family counseling, case management, and collaboration/advocacy services; increases immigrant integration into the school environment by increasing social functioning and decreasing adjustment issues; increases students’ knowledge of healthy relationships and reduce at-risk behavior related to substance abuse and unsafe sexual activity; and enables Student Health Club members to educate their peers about health-related topics with a special focus on high risk adolescent behavior. The provision of mental health services within school settings is not only efficient, but crucial to the well being of students from communities with limited resources.\nOn-site individual and family therapy, including bilingual therapy for Spanish-speaking youth and families, is offered to nearly 100 families each year, emphasizing family communication, discipline structures, and life skills development. These services use a strength-based approach to provide short- and long-term therapy, case management, and consultation. Therapists work with young people and their families to build resilience, improving family functioning and to address challenges both before and as they occur.\nThe Family Intervention Services (FIS) Program provides intensive crisis intervention and therapeutic services for youth experiencing homelessness due to family conflict and dysfunction. Each year, the crisis team, which is on call 24 hours a day, accepts referrals of adolescents and families from the Chicago Police Area 3 Youth Division. In response to these calls, Alternatives’ crisis therapists provide case management services to meet each youth’s immediate health and safety needs.\nFIS staff provide broad and extensive counseling and case management services, transportation, and temporary housing. In the days and weeks following the crisis, Alternatives staff members continue to work intensively with the youth and family members to address the multitude of issues affecting the youth and their family, with the goal of repairing the relationship, building skills and safely reunifying the family. Even when the family conflict has been reduced to a level that allows for a youth’s safe return to the home, Alternatives’ services continue, providing counseling and case management services for the entire family to prevent a future crisis. Eighty-six percent of families receiving follow-up services avoid further crisis placement situations during their time in after-care.\nThrough Substance Abuse Treatment and Prevention, young people ages 12 to 21 and their families get the help and support they need to confront, manage, and resolve their challenges related to drug and alcohol use and/or co-dependency. Substance Abuse Treatment and Prevention consists of intensive evidence-based behavioral health services including Level 1 outpatient substance abuse treatment, toxicology testing, case management support, psychiatric services and recovery planning services.\nSubstance Abuse Treatment and Prevention engages clients in a six-month treatment program which includes a number of sessions involving the youth alone and others engaging the family or caregivers as appropriate. Therapists work with youth to intentionally address individual needs through a series of sessions which include encouragement of pro-social behaviors, analysis of substance use, training in communication and problem-solving skills, relapse prevention.\nAlex is one recent Substance Abuse Treatment and Prevention client who was able to make positive changes as a result of the support he received at Alternatives. Alex was referred to counseling to deal with marijuana use, drinking alcohol and shoplifting. At the time he entered Substance Abuse Treatment and Prevention, the outlook for his future was grim; he was failing in school and at risk of losing his foster care placement. He was referred to Alternatives’ Career and Employment Services program to help him with his school issues and assist him in finding a part-time job. The therapist helped Alex to realize that he was using substances as an escape. During therapy, Alex and his foster family worked on communication, anger management, impulsivity and positive skill-building. This work helped him to make positive changes and improve his relationship with his new family. Alex and his foster parents became closer and learned more about one another as they built a trusting and supportive relationship. The support Alex received helped him choose a more positive path. He stopped using substances, completed school and is currently enrolled in an auto-mechanic training program at Truman College.", "domain": "health"}

Sibell\nDescription: Zygapophyseal (facet) joints are synovial diarthroses from C1 to S1. These diarthroses are innervated by the medial branch of the primary posterior ramus of two surrounding segmental spinal nerves. Facet syndrome (Facet Arthropathy) is a condition in which the zygapophysial joint in the back of the spine degenerate and subsequently cause pain.\nGeriatric Considerations: Geriatric populations are more prone to cumulative stress injuries and osteoarthritis.\nPediatric Considerations: Facet arthropathy is uncommon in children.\nPrevalence: True prevalence unknown. Facet arthropathy estimates: cervical: 55% lumbar: 31%.\nRisk Factors: There're multiple markers for osteoarthritis. HLA-B27 gene is associated with most inflammatory spondyloarthropathies.\nPathophysiology: facet joints in dynamic areas, such as C2-C4, C6-C8, and L4-S1, are subject to macrotrauma (fracture), microtrauma (endplate injuries, hemarthroses), and osteoarthritis. Joint degeneration occurs in inflammatory arthritides.\nEtiology: Pain from facet arthropathy comes from injury to the articular cartilage, synovium, and/or surrounding bony structures.\n✓ Minimization of ballistic spinal motion and extreme axial loading\n✓ Treatment of underlying inflammatory arthritides\n✓ Maintenance of posture and myofascial conditioning\n- Traumatic and degenerative changes\n- Internal disc degeneration\n- Inflammatory arthritides\n- Ankylosing spondylitis\n- Rheumatoid arthritis\nSigns and Symptoms: Considerable controversy surrounds the value of clinical examination. Although examination does not result in specific diagnosis, it is necessary to assess related disorders and to decide which patients go on for confirmatory testing.\nHistory: Mechanical chronic axial spinal pain; if extremity symptoms are present, they do not predominate. Cervical facet arthropathy radiates to the occiput, posterior neck, shoulders, and scapulae. Cervicogenic headache is quite common for Cervical Facet Arthropathy, whilst lumbar one radiates to the low back, buttocks, hips, and rarely, to the popliteal fossae.\nPhysical Exam: Axial cranial, cervical, or upper thoracic pain with extension and/or rotation of the neck is present. Axial lumbar and/or buttock and/or hip pain with extension and rotation of the trunk at the hips is also typical for facet arthropathy. Besides facet arthropathy may also present with pain on flexion. Tenderness over spinous processes and facet joints at involved levels. Concomitant myofascial tenderness are not so far.\nInterventional Diagnosis: Radiologically guided anesthetic blockade of the medial branches of the primary posterior rami of the involved joints. Intra-articular injections have low sensitivity and specificity.\nLab-Tests: if indicated, rheumatological laboratory evaluation\nImaging: Radiographs, CT, and MRI: osteoarthritic change (these findings are insensitive and nonspecific). Facet joint fracture in posttraumatic pain\nDiagnostic Procedures/Surgery: Degenerative findings may present during open surgical procedures.\nPathological Findings: Decreased joint space, subchondral sclerosis, joint hypertrophy, and osteophytosis\n- Internal disc degeneration\n- Myofascial pain syndrome\n- Inflammatory and/or autoimmune arthritides\nFirst Line: No medications are demonstrated to be effective.\nSecond Line: Consider acetaminophen, NSAIDs and opioid analgesics\nInterventional: After diagnosis with comparative local anesthetic medial branch blocks, radiofrequency medial branch denervation produces lasting reduction in arthralgic pain and associated symptoms. Typical duration of effect is 12 to 18 months, after which nerve regeneration may result in recurrent symptoms. No cumulative risk occurs with repeating the procedure, should symptoms recur at 12 to 18 months; radiofrequency facet denervation has a low initial risk of morbidity. Pulsed radiofrequency has yet to duplicate the results of traditional radiofrequency, and it is not a first-line therapy. Intra-articular steroid injections have not demonstrated benefit past approximately 2 weeks' duration.\n- Range of motion exercises\n- Independent home exercise program training\n- Passive modalities have no proven role in the treatment of this entity.\n- Enhance self-management skills\n- Cognitive behavioral approach to spinal health\n- Biofeedback/relaxation therapy\n- Spinal fusion with facetectomy\n- Possible role for disc replacement\nComplementary and Alternative Medicine: No recommendations are specific for this disorder, but acupuncture and massage may be useful.\nPrognosis: The natural history of facet arthropathy is continued pain and possibly eventual spontaneous fusion.\nIssues for Referral: For patients with continued pain despite active treatment, referral to a pain management specialist capable of performing medial branch denervation is recommended.\nComplications: Reduced range of motion, secondary myofascial pain, spontaneous fusion\n- Aigner T, Dudhia J.

Adequate protein is crucial not only for maintaining muscle but also for building many immune complexes and chemical messengers in the body.\nThere are many high-protein foods available today. And you may be consuming plenty of high-protein foods. But, are you actually assimilating the protein you need?\nAfter the age of 35 your digestive enzyme secretions start diminishing. Without adequate enzymes, your body simply cannot digest a big chunk of protein very well (particularly A Blood Types). That partially digested protein begins to putrefy in the intestines, causing discomfort and leaching toxins into the system. Therefore, little of its valuable proteins can be assimilated by your body!\nThis means that even if you're eating a protein-rich diet, you may actually be protein starved!\nNeedless to say, this ineffective digestion doesn't do much for your health!\nAmong those few family-operated cheesemaking plants still in existence, stories occasionally circulate on how grandma drank a glass of whey a day to stay strong and healthy. Her energy level and physical well-being provided testimonial to the benefits of whey.\nThrough the years, whey's negative disposition as a sub-component or by-product of cheesemaking overwhelmed its positive attributes, making it virtually impossible for whey-drinking grandmas to convince their offspring to drink this wonder food.\nWhey proteins are complete proteins, supplying the body with essential amino acids required for good health. This is why whey proteins provide excellent nutrition for active teens, healthy adults and the elderly.\nWhey protein, once thought to be a useless by-product of cheese production, has recently become one of the most popular protein supplements. This is due, in part, to the development of several methods for distilling whey into a high-quality powder that is pratically fat- and lactose-free. Although it's the most expensive of the three protein powders (whey, casein and soy), whey has a number of advantages over other protein supplements.\nIt is reported that whey Proteins are digested much faster than less advanced proteins. Increased rate of digestion has been shown to result in increased plasma amino acid and protein synthesis attributes, which makes it particularly attractive in the fields of clinical nutrition.\nWhey proteins are comprised of high-biological-value proteins and proteins that have different functions. A wealth of scientific research has proven that whey protein has the highest biological value (BV) of any protein. Biological value measures protein power and efficiency with which your body uses protein. The Whey Protein Institute's website gives a biological value of 100 to whey protein, 80 to casein and 74 to soy protein concentrate.\nThe main whey proteins are beta-lactoglobulin and alpha-lactoglobulin, two small globular proteins that account for about 70 to 80% of total whey protein. Proteins present in lesser amounts include the immunoglobulins IgG, IgA and IgM, but especially IgG, glycomacropeptides, bovine serum albumin, lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase and lysozyme. Whey proteins also contain smaller peptides derived from various proteins which are called biopeptides.\nWhey Proteins have been studied by various nutritionists and it is of great interest that whey proteins have been shown to be useful in post operative care of patients as most digestible proteins. It is highly recommended in body cell repairing & growth as well as provides all essential Amino Acids in sufficient amount to provide the best possible solution for formulation of clinical foods. Whey Proteins consist of various minor proteins like L-lactoalbumin, Lactoferrin, immunoglobulins, serum albumin, Lactoperxidase etc. Having high therapeutic values. These constituents have special medical application in products to treat & prevent a large number of clinical problems such as :\n- Special formulation for diabetic patients\n- For cardiac ailments\n- For high cholesterol patients\n- For liver, arthritis patients\n- For burn patients\n- To deal with situations like renal failure, gout, trauma etc.\nProcessing method (i.e., filtration, hydrolysis, ion-exchange, microfiltration, etc.) influences the availability and concentration of the variety of biologically active amino acids, peptides and fractions (i.e., alpha-lactalbumin, beta-lactoglobulin, glycomacropeptides, immunoglobulins and lactoferrin) within whey proteins. These differences may influence the physiological function of whey proteins.\nAntimicrobial, Passive Immunity and Other Actions of Whey Proteins\nThe mechanism of the possible antimicrobial actions of whey proteins may be accounted for by examining the activities of some of the whey proteins. Lactoferrin binds iron very tightly. Iron is a nutrient essential to support microbial growth, especially the growth of pathogenic bacteria. Lactoferrin may also inhibit the adsorption and/or penetration of bacteria and viruses in the intestinal wall. Lactoperoxidase may inactivate or kill microorganisms via an enzymatic activity producing reactive oxygen species. The immunoglobulins may also play a passive immunity role.\nThe possible immunomodulatory activity of whey proteins may also be due, in part, to the immunoglobulins playing a role in passive immunity. Whey proteins are rich in L-cysteine and L-glutamate, two amino acids that are precursors to the tripeptide glutathione. Some are also abundant in the dipeptide sequence of glutamylcysteine. This dipeptide is also a precursor to glutathione. There is some indication that intake of whey proteins enhance monocyte glutathione levels. Enhanced glutathione levels may also contribute to a possible immunomodulatory role of whey proteins, as well as to the possible antioxidant activity of these proteins. In addition, lactoferrin may modulate immune function.\nThe pharmacokinetics of whey proteins should be similar to those for dietary proteins. There is indication that lactoferrin and some of the immunoglobulins in whey proteins may be more resistant to proteolytic degradation than are other types of proteins. Some proteins may be digested to peptides that may be absorbed and may have various activities (bioactive peptides). Some (e.g., bovine serum albumin, beta-lactoglobulin) may yield glutamylcysteine during their digestion, which may be absorbed and serve as a precursor to glutathione in some tissues.\nIndications and Usage\nWhey proteins may be useful in the nutrition of some infants and others, and there is some very preliminary evidence that they may have some immune-modulating and anticancer effects. There is no credible evidence that they build muscle faster than other protein sources.\nSummary of Research on Usages of Whey\nWhey proteins have been used as the sole proteins in some infant formulas, and this has reportedly resulted in fewer allergies in these infants. In one study, the use of a whey protein formula in the first six months of life significantly reduced atopic disease up to one year of age. In another study, infants receiving a whey protein-hydrolysate formula during the first six months of life had a lower incidence of cow's milk protein sensitivity at age six months, less eczema during the first year of life and less diarrhea of non-infectitious origin during the first half-year of life.\nThere are several animal studies in which whey and whey factors are said to exert some positive effects on immunity and cancer. Observed immuno-enhancing properties are believed by some researchers to be related only partially to whey's nutritional effects. Enhancement of host humoral immune response has been associated, in some of these studies, with whey's role in increasing glutathione levels in the body.\nIn animal studies, whey proteins were found to be protective against colon cancer, relative to red meat and some other protein sources. A whey protein diet significantly decreased tumor burden and extended life in mice with colon cancer, compared to mice with colon cancer fed-standard diet.\nWhey protein concentrate was administered to five patients with metastatic cancers (30 grams daily for six months). Two of these patients exhibited some evidence of tumor regression, normalization of hemoglobin and peripheral lymphocyte counts. In two other patients, there was stabilization of tumor growth and increased hemoglobin levels. More research is needed.\nWhat then is needed is digestible protein. Protein that your body can assimilate - protein that does not become toxic waste. Whey is one of the most complete proteins -- and the most easily digested. But the type of whey makes all the difference in it usefulness to your body.\nA few years ago, ion-exchange, cross-flow whey production became popular. Unfortunately, ion-exchange, cross-flow membrane whey proved to contain excess sodium often up to o 89 percent sodium!\nThis happens because the process of ion-exchange strips out calcium and magnesium ions, and replaces them with sodium ions. The result is an extremely high-sodium product that is virtually devoid of necessary and beneficial magnesium and calcium.\nWhat happens when you eat a protein high in sodium? Most people know that sodium draws water to it. The excess sodium in ion-exchange whey draws water into the muscle. So although the muscles appears to be growing, they are really only full of fluid! And, even worse, the excess sodium throws the potassium levels out of balance. When that happens, the electrolytes go out of balance and the entire metabolism suffers. And the whole purpose has just been defeated.\nMicrofiltered Whey- The Whey of Choice (HealthSmart Nutrition's Hi-Pro93)\nHi-Pro 93 whey protein isolate (via microfiltration) is about the purest type of \"whey\" protein available. The isolation of whey, using a process called \"cross-flow microfiltration,\" is the next manufacturing step after whey is concentrated. Manufacturers making Ultrafiltered or cross flow microfiltered whey use a high-tech cold manufacturing process that utilizes ceramic filters to remove the fat and lactose and isolate the protein without damaging it. Like the ion-exchange isolate, this type of isolate has a significantly higher protein per serving ratio than whey concentrates. This type of isolate typically yields over 94 grams of protein per 100 grams of whey, and often comes close to 98 or 99 grams of protein per 100 grams of whey. Hi-Pro 93 whey protein isolate is virtually free of fats and carbohydrates, which may appeal to people utilizing ketogenic diets like the Atkins diet. Cross-flow microfiltration gives a whey protein isolate which is greater than 90% in protein that is undenatured and that retains all important sub-fractions ( in natural ratios, with no fat or lactose).\nThe microfiltration isolate used to make Hi-Pro 93 whey protein isolate yields a higher amount of branched-chain amino acids than whey protein concentrate. Is the microfiltration version better than the ion-exchange version? Unlike the ion-exchange isolate, microfiltration isolate is not exposed to chemical degradation. Thus, the protein is left unharmed and in its original state. This leads to added benefits over ion exchange isolate. Hi-Pro 93 whey protein isolate is rich in important minerals (magnesium and potassium) and contains all three of the antibacterial and antiviral whey proteins not found in ion-exchange whey. In addition, Hi-Pro 93 whey protein isolate is very low in fat and undergoes far less processing than ion-exchange whey.\nAnd that's not all, Hi-Pro 93 whey protein isolate may contain small amounts of beneficial lactoferrin, a milk protein not found in ion-exchange whey. Lactoferrin has been shown to be antibacterial and antioxidant. It inhibits the implantation of harmful E-coli bacteria in the stomach and intestines. It has even been found to have antifungal and antiviral properties against hepatitis C, cytomegalovirus, and herpes viruses. Hi-Pro 93 whey protein isolate also may contain small amounts of yet another protein: Lactoperoxidase. This whey protein has been found to be highly immune stimulating.\nThe microfiltration process not only filters the whey so that the sodium levels are reduced, but the lactose levels are also reduced. This allows most of those with a lactose intolerance to digest it without any trouble.\nWhey proteins are contraindicated in those who are hypersensitive to milk proteins.", "domain": "health"}

With the introduction of new medications like Zepbound for weight loss, healthcare providers are reminded of the importance of appropriately managing patient treatments and billing processes. For podiatry businesses, this underscores the value of reliable podiatry billing services, which help ensure patient treatments are accounted for and billed accurately to insurance providers.\nPodiatrists deal with a vast array of patient health concerns, from common foot ailments to complex diabetic foot care. With this diverse patient care comes a multitude of billing and coding challenges. A specialized podiatry billing service can be a critical asset to a practice, allowing practitioners to focus on patient care rather than the nuances of medical billing, coding, and insurance claims. Here’s a look at how such services can benefit your practice, and how these components factor into handling prescribed treatments like Zepbound.\nFirstly, it’s imperative to recognize the importance of using medical treatments responsibly and within their approved applications. As with the deployment of Zepbound, where concerns have arisen over its usage for non-approved purposes, it is critical that practices ensure that billing and insurance claims are submitted for FDA-approved indications only. Employing a robust podiatry billing service ensures that coding is accurate, which minimizes the risk of insurance rejections due to off-label prescribing.\nPodiatry billing companies, with a thorough understanding of state-specific regulations – be it podiatry billing NJ, California, Pennsylvania, or Tennessee – are crucial for maintaining compliance. Medical billing involves intricate knowledge of complex coding and payer-specific guidelines. For instance, medical billing NJ or any other state-specific service has experts who are skilled at managing claims and denials specific to the regulations and payers within that state. It ensures that your practice’s billing processes are compliant and up to date with evolving healthcare laws.\nAnother key aspect is dealing with insurance processing. When new drugs like Zepbound hit the market, insurance companies may have specific documenting requirements for coverage. This can be challenging for a practice to keep track of, but a podiatry billing company, well-versed in insurance trends and policies, can stay ahead of these changes to facilitate timely and accurate reimbursements for the treatments provided.\nThe financial health of your podiatry practice also depends on effective practice management consulting. Consultants provide strategic advice on various aspects of running a practice, including the efficient use of billing software and the implementation of best practices in financial management. With their expertise, practices can enhance their revenue cycle management, which could involve navigating the billing for new weight loss drugs and other specialized treatments.\nThe right kind of billing software is also a game-changer. Modern, high-quality billing software can simplify the billing process, reduce errors, and improve turnaround times for claims processing. It’s especially crucial when dealing with new medical treatments; software that is regularly updated to handle new billing codes can significantly ease the billing process for such medications.\nIn conclusion, while the focus of your podiatry practice is on delivering quality patient care, attention should also be given to the business side of your practice. Specialized podiatry billing services, expert consultation, and cutting-edge billing software are not just tools but essentials for running a successful practice in the current medical landscape. They not only support the financial backbone of your practice but ensure that the latest treatments, such as weight loss medications, are managed with the utmost responsibility and in compliance with healthcare regulations. By investing in these services, you are not just streamlining administrative processes but also safeguarding your practice against the complexities of healthcare billing, ultimately allowing for holistic and uncompromised patient care.", "domain": "health"}

Since then, these compounds have been used (and misused) by amateur and professional athletes.

I absolutely wouldn’t have it any other way; I love waking up to him every morning and going to sleep beside him every night, especially after a long, hard-working day. Nonetheless, it’s safe to say we haven’t always had it easy. Our first couple of years of cohabiting in particular were extremely difficult; not due to “typical” living-with-your-partner inconveniences like fighting over leaving the toilet seat up, putting dirty clothes on top of as opposed to in the washing basket (which, I must say, is incredibly frustrating) and feeling on top of one another, but something very different: Crohn’s disease. Daniel was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in September 2016 – which, at the time, was one of the worst cases in the UK – and, boy, have we been on one hell of a rollercoaster ever since. Needless to say, his diagnosis has not only continued to strengthen our relationship, but drastically change our outlooks on life. As today is World IBD Day, I wanted to share my story on what it’s like to witness first-hand the impact of a chronic illness on someone’s life and the impact it can have on their partner (like me) too, but not before I give a brief overview of Crohn’s disease and its symptoms.\nFor those of you who aren’t completely aware, Crohn’s disease is a long-term condition that causes inflammation of the digestive system and is one of the two main forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), the other being Ulcerative Colitis (source: Crohn’s and Colitis UK). It is said to be hereditary and, while there are different forms of treatment such as drugs and surgery, there is currently no cure. As Daniel’s case is severe, he takes a multitude of medications daily as well as an injection weekly. The symptoms that Daniel experienced before his diagnosis, and still experiences regularly, include abdominal pain and (if you’re squeamish, brace yourself) diarrhoea, tiredness and fatigue and feeling generally unwell. A full list of the symptoms can also be found on the link referenced earlier.\nNow, for the story. As I said, Daniel was diagnosed in September 2016. He suffered from the aforementioned symptoms and more for about nine months prior and underwent innumerable tests and scans before he was finally diagnosed via a colonoscopy, following which they explained to us that it looked like Daniel had – shockingly – had the disease for around five-to-seven years already. These months leading up to his diagnosis were some of the hardest for the both of us; it was horrible for Daniel to continue to experience pain and suffering for reasons the GP couldn’t even decipher, and equally horrible for me to watch him suffer and continuously wonder why. Daniel even turned to private care for a little while in hope that they could more accurately discover what was wrong; alas, even they couldn’t and misdiagnosed it as whooping cough. Unfortunately, it took Daniel to collapse at his desk at work based near Wimbledon and have his colleagues call an ambulance for him which took him to St. George’s Hospital in Tooting to finally figure it out. Ever since, Daniel has been under the supervision of some of the best doctors and surgeons at this hospital who have been an incredible help in making the experience smoother and easier to cope with for the both of us.\nFollowing his diagnosis, Daniel had to stay in hospital for a little while so that his blood and sugar levels could be monitored and he could be rehydrated after losing so much water in his body due to the diarrhoea. However, the following month – October 2016 – saw an even more unfortunate event for Daniel; whilst resting in his hospital bed surrounded by his parents, my parents and me, his bowel perforated and thus required immediate surgery. Just before which, I vividly remember a lovely stoma nurse coming to talk to Daniel and me all about having and caring for a stoma bag. Essentially, in order to give Daniel’s bowel a rest and allow him to recover from the symptoms he had been suffering, his doctors and surgeons decided that some of his large intestine would need to be removed and he would need a temporary stoma bag through an operation called a colectomy with ileostomy. This is – again, squeamish readers, prepare yourselves – a procedure whereby the intestine is brought to the surface of the stomach, and an opening is made so that digestive waste is passed through the stomach and into a bag rather than through the bottom; the opening on the stomach is called a stoma (source: Crohn’s and Colitis UK). The period of time for which Daniel would have a stoma bag was uncertain as his doctors and surgeons would assess his progress and evaluate a time when they deemed it necessary.\nThe information about stoma bags was fed to us so suddenly that neither Daniel nor I were able to fully absorb it all at once. We were provided with a kit with all stoma care needs including a large source of stoma bags when a replacement was necessary, some curved scissors to help cut the hole in the bag for the stoma to the correct size (as stoma sizes vary) and various other supplies; a handful of leaflets and handouts all about life with a stoma bag; and a number of websites to navigate and phone numbers to call whenever we needed help. Nonetheless, almost everything we learned about stoma bags was acquired through practice. Living with each other meant that I could help Daniel whenever he required it at home, be it to clean the stoma, change the bag or look after him when he continued to experience the usual Crohn’s disease symptoms. In fact, although the stoma was intended to help Daniel in the long run, his experience with it was still awful; he vomited every morning and night, struggled to digest a number of foods and was completely bed-bound, all whilst also experiencing the pain from the surgery on his stomach and the mental burden of it all (I can feel the waterworks coming on for me right about now). What’s more, when I met Daniel, he couldn’t even swallow a tablet; now, he had to start taking a surplus of drugs (the most he has been on at one time is thirty-three; now, he takes at least eight a day).\nAs the one not living with the condition nor the stoma, but living alongside the person with them, all I wanted to do for Daniel was stay positive, encourage him to keep fighting and continue to remind him that he wasn’t alone in this battle because – as cliché as it may sound – he had me by his side. Notwithstanding, this experience inevitably came with its downfalls on my part, too. The same month Daniel was diagnosed, I had just begun my second year of university. Fortunately, as I briefly mentioned in my blog about living at home for university, I had transferred to a university closer to home to continue my studies from my second year not with the intention to live with Daniel (we managed the long-distance relationship quite well, actually), but because I didn’t enjoy my time at my first-choice university like I’d anticipated. And, even more fortunately, my new university (Roehampton) just so happened to not be far from the hospital in which Daniel would stay for months on end. So, every day after my lectures during the beginning of my second year, I would head straight to the bus stop outside of campus, jump on the 493 to St. George’s Hospital and sit beside Daniel in his hospital bed to keep him company. A lot of the time, whilst Daniel kept himself occupied by watching movies on Netflix on his phone, I had my laptop open to complete some uni work; being in each other’s presence was enough. Other times, we would merely have a chat, watch something together or, if he had family or friends visiting, we would be occupied by their company. Again, this time was certainly not easy for us, but we got through it together.\nAlmost exactly one year from his diagnosis, and eleven months from his major surgery (as Daniel continued to have minor surgeries with his stoma; I gave up on keeping count of the number of endoscopies he’s had a long time ago), the time finally came for Daniel’s stoma to be reversed. Despite the horrible side effects, his doctors and nurses internally saw a huge improvement in his bowel and intestines from the culmination of his drugs and the stoma. As it was September 2017, I had at this time just begun my final year of university and would, again, try my best to look after Daniel post-surgery alongside my studies. Not only was he bed-bound again, but he also had two large scars to recover from as well as the mental struggle to adapt to some sort of normality again; in layman’s terms, he got his bottom ~ back ~.\nNow, Daniel is much better than he was. Of course, he still experiences flare-ups in his intestines every now and then which is normal for somebody with Crohn’s disease or Ulcerative Colitis and has had to take trips to the hospital aplenty, but together we have learnt how to manage everyday life with Crohn’s. As I mentioned earlier, his daily drug intake has reduced from a whopping thirty-three to around eight, and the continuation of taking these drugs alongside his weekly injection has greatly assisted in the management of the condition. That’s not to say that we don’t get a scare every so often, like the possibility that he will have to stay in hospital for a long period of time again or – especially in times like now with the coronavirus pandemic – he’ll fall really ill again, but if this whole experience has taught us anything, it’s to stay positive. We count ourselves so lucky every day that we live together and have each other by our sides during hard times and, whatever our future holds, I think it’s fair to say that we are both well-prepared.\nPlease be reminded that this is Daniel’s Crohn’s story; everybody’s IBD experience is different. Currently, it is estimated that Crohn’s disease affects about one in every 650 people in the UK and Ulcerative Colitis about one in every 420 people in the UK. When Daniel was diagnosed and I would tell people that he has Crohn’s disease, a common response was “what’s that?”. Four years on, I am pleased to report that people seem much more aware of it when I tell them as they either know or know of someone with the condition. Nevertheless, there still seems to be a lack of general awareness around IBD, and that is what today – World IBD Day – is all about. Given the above figures, it is likely that someone you know has Crohn’s or Colitis, so why not do some more research into them by heading to the Crohn’s and Colitis UK website or by following them on social media? Likewise, if you or someone you know is suffering from similar symptoms and is yet to discover what you or they might have, please ensure that you or they get checked out.\nTo those like Daniel with an IBD, happy World IBD Day! To my readers, thank you for reading and I hope this has assisted in the growth of awareness around IBD. Also, to the NHS, as we hear daily at present, thank you so much for the support and care you provide people like Daniel. And, of course, to my Daniel, I am so proud of you for all that you’ve achieved and all that you’ve been through. Despite all this, you have continued to work incredibly hard in your full-time role at an amazing and supportive firm called Z group, have passed a number of AAT exams and continue to conduct voluntary work for the Royal Air Force Air Cadets (RAFAC) – all while being the best fiancé anyone could ask for. You are an inspiration. ♡\nLeave a Reply", "domain": "health"}

Have you ever wondered why some people are always full of energy, always on the go, don’t need a lot of sleep and are rarely if ever sick?\nMost people don’t realize how much the pH level of the food you eat and your body affects your organs and immune system. The typical western diet of processed and fried foods, refined grains, meat, dairy, and sugar are extremely acidic and result in acidic residues after digestion. As our body is approximately 20 percent acidic and 80 percent alkaline it’s recommended that we eat approximately 20 percent acidic foods and 80 percent alkaline foods too. Nearly all of our physiological functions, including immune system, cardiovascular and digestive functions including most of our enzyme and metabolic processes require that our bodily pH is slightly alkaline. This prevents diseases since most bacteria and viruses can not survive in an alkaline state. Also, organs within our digestive system, such as the pancreas, have functions to balance the pH of the digesting food. The pancreas releases sodium bicarbonate into the small intestine to neutralize the stomach acids. Eating acidic foods puts futher stress on the pancreas and can actually cause diabetes. Eating alkaline foods removes this stress from the pancreas and allows it to function properly. An overly acidic system could lead to symptoms like lack of energy, fatigue, digestive disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, allergies, respiratory ailments, depression, colds, flu and other chronic illness. Another affect of having an acidic body is that calcium is pulled from your bones to balance the pH which can cause bone loss.\nIt’s worth remembering that the pH of the food item itself may not be accurately reflective of its affect on the body. For example, citris fruits are naturally very acidic, however, when they are digested, they have an alkalizing affect on the body. Therefore, oranges, graprefruits, and lemons are considered alkaline foods because of the affect they have on your body’s pH level, not by their natural pH level.\nHere are some of my favourite alkaline recipies:\nTamari Pumpkin Seeds\nI love adding pumpkin seeds to jazz up salads and pasta dishes and I recently found out that they have the added bonus of also being the only seeds that are alkaline forming. If you want to give them an extra kick try dry roasting them in a frying pan and then adding 1-2 tsp of tamari or soy sauce.\nLemons are veritable wonders. Not only do they top the list of the most alkaline forming foods but lemon juice is high in vitamin C, B6, calcium, potassium, copper, thiamin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, iron and magnesium. If that wasn’t enough it also has great digestive qualities and can help cleanse the body of toxins.\nGreens are the highest alkaline-forming foods and they are full of vitamins A, K, and D so adding a spinach salad (spinach, walnuts, lemon juice and avocado) to your meal is an excellent way to alkalize your diet.\nMillet is punchy powerfood, the only alkalizing grain and is a great source of protein. It has a sweet nutty flavor and is considered to be one of the most digestible and non-allergenic grains available.", "domain": "health"}

Whereas, many other disorders are diagnosed with by a simple blood test, x-ray or CT, the diagnosis of ALS is made in large part by ruling out other diseases that can mimic it. It is not uncommon that a patient has waited over a year for the diagnosis to be secured. Without a test that can objectively measure how much a patient with ALS is affected also delays the testing and discovery of new drugs.\nThe objective of our research program is to improve our understanding of changes in the brain in ALS. We have previously characterized degeneration of motor and non-motor cerebral regions in ALS using advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques, including magnetic resonance spectroscopy, diffusion tensor imaging, functional MRI, and texture analysis. These methods show promise in providing a biomarker, namely a test that can quantify cerebral degeneration to detect disease earlier, monitor progression, and evaluate new therapies. Such a tool would accelerate drug testing and lead to the realization of effective treatment faster, as currently there is no such test in ALS.\nThe Canadian ALS Neuroimaging Consortium (CALSNIC) was formed to create and evaluate new tests for ALS that use advanced MRI. CALSNIC has 7 participating sites in Canada, and has recently branched internationally to include 2 sites in the US.\nThere have been a number of publications and presentations arising from CALSNIC. Most recently, Dr. Kalra and his team updated the international community at the ALSMND Symposium in Glasgow last December, at the ALS Canada Research Forum in Toronto in April, and at the American Academy of Neurology in May.\nCALSNIC receives the bulk of its funding from a Hudson Team Grant from ALS Canada (in partnership with Brain Canada). This was the largest grant awarded by ALS Canada, with funds raised by the ice bucket challenge across the country. The study continues for another 2 years.

It is because members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community sometimes feel that they are being discriminated or judged by other people.\nLGBT drug rehab centers explained:\nLGBT drug rehab centers are facilities that provide drug treatment such as meth abuse treatment specifically to the LGBT community. There are lesbian and gay rehab centers that serve to help people with the same sexual orientations.\nThese meth addiction treatment centers that specialized in treating the LGBT community provide help, support and care to the recovering individuals without prejudice. Moreover, these facilities are experts in providing therapies and treatment methods that are specialized in offering solutions to the issues that are often encountered by the LGBT people.\nSome therapies in the treatment for meth abuse include, teaching patients how to deal with rejection at work or in the family without turning to meth use. Transgenders may learn how to manage their problems without being dependent on meth and other drugs.\nThese meth addiction treatment centers also teach the LGBT people of ways on how to accept themselves as some of them still lack self-acceptance, bringing them to abuse more meth.\nThings to consider when choosing a rehab center that caters to the LGBT:\n• The cost of the rehab program: Know the exact computation of your stay at the rehab. Some of these centers for treatment for meth addiction require you to pay your own room and board. If you have a dual diagnosis, ask for the total cost that you have to pay for the medical treatment and therapies.\n• Check the success rates of the rehab in terms of cure for meth addiction among the LGBT: You should be wary that the rehab center that you’re planning to enroll has a high success rate. If their programs are effective for the past patients, the more likely the program will work for you.\n• Check for aftercare treatment for meth abuse: The right rehab center should allow you to have therapy outside the rehab center to help you continue your abstinence. A good meth addiction treatment center provides this on hand before you wrap up your treatment at the facility.\n• Check the treatment protocols. Don’t be satisfied that they specialized for the LGBT community. Exactly know the details of their treatment methods. The programs that they have should be comfortable with you so make this as a consideration.\n• Find out if the rehab center hires professionally trained staff: You should consider a methamphetamine addiction treatment center that hires medical staff who don’t only accept the sexual orientation of the LGBT, but also are trained in handling their issues. Some rehab facilities also hire staff with the same sexual orientation so it would be easier for them to tackle and give support. If this is important for you, you should find a meth addict treatment facility that has this quality.", "domain": "health"}

Call 0800 2 54 56 58 (11am-6pm, Mon to Fri) or email email@example.com\nSleep is one of the most important factors in physical and emotional health, wellbeing and healing. Due to the importance of healing and recovery, as well as REM sleep requirements, we may need to sleep more if we are recovering from substance misuse. The ultimate aim should be to sleep for as long as possible, preferably without an alarm clock waking us up. However we know that this is not always possible. What you can do, is take steps to ensure that we get the best night’s sleep you can.\nAim for between 8 and 10 hours’ sleep, or as much as your body seems to need. Sleep will be most beneficial if we can minimize interruptions and sleep right through. It will also be more beneficial the closer our sleep cycle is to our circadian rhythm. Ideally, aim to be going to bed for 9pm or 11pm at the latest. Adapt the time you go to bed based on the time you need to be up by. So if you need to be up by 5am try to get to bed by 9pm the night before.\nHere are some tips for a good, uninterrupted night’s sleep:\n1. Finish eating all meals and snacks by 7pm.\n2. Drink sufficient amounts of water and liquid throughout the day, but aim not to drink anything after 8pm (or, even better, 7pm).\n3. Don’t drink caffeinated drinks after 4pm.\n4. Ensure a regular intake of whole foods, rather than refined foods, to ensure balanced blood sugar levels. Eat a sufficient amount at each meal to satisfy your needs.\n5. Make sure your evening meal contains plenty of carbohydrates, such as brown rice, pasta, millet, barley, oats or potatoes. Carbohydrates help us produce lots of melatonin in the evening, which makes us sleepy and promotes deeper sleep.\n6. Exercise every day. This could be walking, running, swimming, yoga, tai chi, cycling or going to the gym, for example. Regular exercise helps reduce stress hormones which can keep us awake, and it also boosts serotonin and melatonin production, which helps to improve sleep.\n7. Develop a bedtime routine. For example, an hour before bedtime, turn off all television, stressful or loud music or music with a beat, electronic screens and telephones. Change your clothing, lower the lighting and perhaps have a warm bath. Use relaxation techniques like meditation to help you unwind if necessary.\n8. Write a journal before bed. An overactive or restless mind will mean we need to spend more time in REM sleep. If we can write down our concerns before bed, it will help us get a more refreshing and relaxing sleep.\n9. Once you are in bed, use deep breathing techniques such as the 7/11 breathing technique if you are struggling to sleep. (Breathe in for a count of 7, then breathe out for a count of 11, breathing as deeply into your diaphragm/stomach as you can.) This will promote your body’s natural relaxation response.", "domain": "health"}

These limbs (aspects) are described by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras as: Yama (moral, ethical and social conduct), Niyama (personal behaviour ), Asana (postures), Pranayama (breath control), Pratyahara (sense withdrawal), Dharana (concentration), Dhyana (meditation), and Samadhi (contemplation). All of these branches support each other. Asana is a key to the development of the yamas and niyamas and must be established for the proper practice of Pranayama. Once these four externally oriented limbs are firmly rooted, the last four internally oriented limbs will spontaneously evolve over time.\nAshtanga yoga is traditionally practised in a strict sequential order. Each posture is a preparation for the next, developing the strength and balance required to move further. Through the practice of correct breathing, asana (posture) and dristi (gaze point) we start to gain control of the senses and a deep awareness of ourselves.\nDeep, even slow breathing through the nose is at the heart of this discipline, creating focus and a quiet mind. By synchronising the movement with the breath and practising mula (root) and uddiyana (upward lifting) bandhas (internal locks that serve to direct the flow of energy in the body) the practice becomes a moving meditation. A deep internal heat is produced, which can help to purify the muscles and organs, expelling unwanted toxins. This allows prana (energy) to move freely around the body.\nStrength, stamina and sweat are unique aspects of Ashtanga Yoga, seemingly contrary to Western perceptions of Yoga. This demanding practise requires considerable effort and taps into and circulates a vital energy throughout the body, strengthening and purifying the nervous system.\nThere are three groups of sequences in the Ashtanga system.\nThe Primary Series (Yoga Chikitsa) detoxifies and aligns the body.\nThe Intermediate Series (Nadi Shodhana) purifies the nervous system by opening and clearing the energy channels.\nThe Advanced Series A, B, C and D (Sthira Bhaga) integrate the strength and grace of the practice, requiring higher levels of flexibility and humility.\nEach level is to be fully developed before proceeding to the next, and the sequential order of asanas is to be meticulously followed.", "domain": "health"}

In a tantric massage, the entire body takes part and erogenous zones can likewise be touched. A tantra massage takes place on the basis of equality and develops an intimate connection between massage provider and receiver.\nTantric Massage is all about Loving touch\nA tantric massage is a loving touch complete of attention and existence. Tantra massage is provided from the heart. Although many touch will occur through the hands (or body to body) it is really enjoy that touches. The hands of the giver are gotten in touch with his/her heart. The touch is caring, constantly concentrated on the wellness of the receiver. The recipient is also present, and gets active as well as feels (ultimately) from the heart. Be caring!\nComplete of attention and existence throughout tantric massage\nA tantra massage is a loving touch filled with attention and existence. Both the giver and the receiver are completely present. Do not think of the other day or tomorrow. Don't look around or being hectic with something else, no, your complete attention is on providing or getting the massage. An extremely conscious touch from the heart. Get also very consciously, feeling it in your heart. Tantra massage is not about regular, fixed patterns are really out of the question. Everything takes place in the moment, completely awareness, lovingly attuned to each other and the situation. Dreaming away or going to sleep is likewise not intended (still, when that's exactly what you need, it's okay).\nA tantric massage isn't about a fixed result\nA tantric massage will constantly be different. You never ever know how it will end up. It is not the technique or the wanted sequence of rubbing that is important, it has to do with what is appropriate/necessary. What/where does the recipient most require at the minute? Exactly what is great for her/him? Love understands what to do, enjoy constantly has an appropriate reaction. Therefore the massage will be exactly that what is required. Sufficient is that the giver exists and keeps tuning in to his/her heart, to the frequencies of love. The divine likewise has its own strategy, you can't \"do\" it.\nTantric massages therefore often take an extremely unexpected course. Everything fits into a larger whole. For instance, a tantric massage does not constantly need to be \"fine\", ending in bliss. A \"failed\" massage can be the first step in an excellent development.\nThe best ways to get the very best from your tantric massage\nAlways with respect to limitations\nWe understood it for a long period of time, of course, but because the #MeToo revelations, some things have turned up on the planet of tantra massage. Masseurs (you do not hear that much about masseuses) who require their own sexual pleasure/lust on \"customers\". Obviously, this has little to do with tantric massage. The security of both giver and receiver always should be guaranteed. Caring attunement constantly comes.\nSet clear boundaries ahead of time\nIt is a misunderstanding that a tantric massage should always be naked, rubbish. With clothes on is also totally ok (however hard to work with oil then). Personally, we have given/received numerous tantric massages only on the head.\nTantric massage is an energetic massage\nActivate and let flow freely\nTriggering and freeing the circulation of life energy (prana) is the main part of tantra massage. Tantra massage is an energetic massage in which sexual energy also gets attention. In a tantric massage, the entire body participates and erotic zones can also be touched. Naturally, constantly with respect for (shared) limits. When triggering life energy, sexual energy plays a crucial role again. In tantra massage we play with the activation of basic/ sexual/ emotional/ enthusiastic/ love/ production/ user-friendly energy.\nConcentrated on the natural happy state of being\nThere is a conversation going on whether tantra massage becomes part of \"genuine\" tantra. Well ... Tantra is a very useful, body-oriented movement, a vision of life targeted at growing in love and awareness. In a split 2nd you can end up being informed (by 1000% surrender), but usually, that is a process in time. Tantra knows various methods to utilize on the journey to enlightenment. As far as we are worried, tantra massage is one of them. Tantra has no purpose other than self-realization: restoring the natural (overjoyed) state of being.\nGenerally leading to a fantastic physical, psychological wellness\nTantra helps you to become more relaxed, more vibrant, more energetic, more caring therefore a lot more. this response Really, you \"discover\" to enjoy yourself, your body, your (sexual) energy and life itself. This is also the case with a tantra massage. Because this is precisely what happens often: the recipient is enjoying it! Enjoying is fully permitted! A tantra massage is generally great, in some cases scrumptious. We, for that reason, invite you to fully enjoy getting ánd providing a tantric massage. Feel, use your senses. Hear, odor, taste, feel and reveal that you like it. Let your body speak!\nWhat Tantric massage isn't really?\nThere are numerous kinds of massage. Obviously, all massages have particular practices and methods in common. Yet there is a huge difference with e.g.:\n* Relaxation massage (aimed at relaxation).\n* Sports massage (concentrated on the muscles).\n* Sensual massage (targeted at enjoyment complete satisfaction).\n* (Body) therapy (targeted at healing).\nRelaxation is an essential part of tantric massage, however of a totally various order than relaxation massage Why? Well since you are actually very energetic during/after the massage. You do not fall asleep (unless you are really tired), you are really alert and conscious! A tantra massage is NOT a sensual massage either. If it gets stuck in sexual research study or sexual complete satisfaction, we would call it various. Tantra massage is certainly not a treatment! It's a sort of fashion nowadays to see tantra massage as a treatment, but therapy is an occupation apart. Tantra massage certainly has recovery impacts, but that is not an end in itself.\nThe fundamentals of tantric massage.\nFor an in-depth explanation, see the short article on the fundamentals of tantric massage. In summary, the following essentials stand out:\nTantra massage suggestions-- prior to you begin\n* Develop a warm, confutable tantric massage area (this can be done easily on both an infall massage or an outcall massage).\n* Provide great conditions (physically, however likewise psychologically).\n* Explain agreements!\n* start by getting naked together.\nTantric massage suggestions-- during the massage.\n* Start, stay, end linked to each other.\n* Constantly keep your attention on the massage.\n* Make sure your massage is demand free, don't press or force anything.\n* Open your own heart, and open the heart of the receiver.\n* Activate (sexual) energy and distribute it throughout the entire body.\n* Don't only utilize your hands. Discover the body to body massage.\n* Every so often ... not do anything at all! Be 1000% present. Delight in!\n* Utilize your senses.\n* Offer feedback (satisfaction noises?).\n* Integrate in combination (rest) moments.\nA tantra massage is not a work task, so as a provider you can likewise enjoy yourself, still the core is that you are there for the recipient. Once again, do not try to impose anything (your own goal/body/needs/ sexuality) on the receiver! You might not be waiting for a psychological cry, however a tantric massage has no objective.\nTantra massage tips-- after the massage.\n* Take enough time to process, to let the massage settle.\n* Require time to exchange your experiences.\n* Understand that a tantric massage can have an impact for days. Be careful/alert.\n* Do not immediately go \"full-on\". Take your time and rest after the massage.\n10 important tantra massage pointers (insights/rules).\n* Don't work to a goal. We get asked all the time, it this a happy ending massage? Yes it can be, it normally is but there is no pressure for you to carry out, this is about letting that energy flow.\n* Respect boundaries, set clear limits in advance. Our masseuses are primarily really open minded - they are naturally due to the fact that of the nature of their work but they are masseuses - not escorts.\n* Keep the desires of the recipient in mind, of course. Understand that it can turn out in a different way.\n* It is constantly an energetic massage. Start with the heart.\n* Activate sexual energy. Stimulate the whole body. Being aroused is typical and preferable.\n* Self-love and awareness (at the recipient) are essential! A lot can come up.\n* Be alert to renewed freezing moments. Prevent limits from being crossed again.\n* Action by step becoming freer ... Growing trust ... fine. Beware: no sex! Practice makes perfect. Delighting in the restored balance and connection in between sex and heart.\n* Give feedback (e.g. enjoyment sounds) and offer integration moments (just not doing anything).\n* Tantra massage is more than sexual satisfaction, still: can Yoni or Lingam massage happen?\nDo not release, however recharge.\nThis is how you experience heart orgasm and body orgasm.\nBy this we mean don't rush towards the climatic ending, hold it, be in the moment, let that sexual energy develop and flood your entire body.\nPossible results of tantric massage.\nProvides peace and relaxation.\nTantric massage is a massage that gets you out of your head. During/after the massage it becomes quiet in your head (in some cases totally empty).\nBrings your life energy into motion.\nTantrix massage brings you the experience of splendidly streaming life energy. Your body armor ends up being softer, thinner and even disappears. The tantric touch is healthy, massage has a prospective healing result.

Although common, diseases such as schizophrenia, major depression, bipolar disorder and eating disorders remain in many cases unrecognized, misunderstood, or often undertreated. Mental illness and the resulting disabilities create difficulties not only for the patient but also for one’s family and friends, not the least of which remains highly stigmatized nature of the disease itself. Understanding the type, severity, stage of these diseases, along with a patient’s own mood, motivation and personal perceptions of oral disease and lifestyle can enhance the knowledge of dental professionals concerning this critical aspect of a patient’s medical history and further illustrates how closely mental health and oral health are intertwined.\nMental illness must be viewed from a similar perspective as are other major diseases. Dental professionals should be aware of factors such as the reduced rates of compliance with dental treatment, the reduced ability to access oral health care, the effects of various psychotropic medications on oral health including xerostomia, caries and periodontal disease and the potential interactions with drugs used in dental practice.\nPatients with psychiatric illness often bring unique needs and differing priorities to a dental practice, and the dental health practitioner must in turn demonstrate patience, flexibility, empathy, and a non-stigmatizing attitude in caring for these individuals. Enhancing self-esteem and feelings of self-worth for those coping with a psychiatric illness can be a very fulfilling experience that will only serve to continue to break down the stigma surrounding this group of diseases.\nAt the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to:\n- Demonstrate how mental health and oral health are closely intertwined and how one can directly impact the other.\n- Comprehend how medications used to treat various forms of mental illness can interact with other drugs used in dentistry.\n- Understand how oral health problems can arise for example, as direct manifestations of schizophrenia, eating disorders and bipolar disorder, in addition to being side effects of numerous psychiatric medications.\n- Understand the disabilities and stigma associated with mental illness as well as enhancing one’s knowledge of the various psychiatric disorders so as to be better prepared to provide dental treatment on a highly individualized basis.\nDr. David B.

Terri was featured on a Mindfulbiz Podcast episode a while ago, and is also an avid supporter of the Relauncher Small Business Workshops.\nSynergie Skin are supporting the upcoming Sydney Small Business Workshop through providing full sized Super Serum in each bag valued at $159! What a fabulous gift for everyone! If you'd like to come along to this workshop, click here for details.\nFounder of Synergie Skincare, Terri Vinson:\nI began my career as a biological scientist and senior science teacher and later transitioned into a role as aesthetics educator and formulator of cosmeceuticals.\nFrom there, I launched a medical marketing business where I worked with doctors, plastic surgeons, and physicians helping to educate their clients on skincare and clinical procedures.\nIt wasn't until my early forties that I took a risk and opened my own skincare clinic in Melbourne. This clinic became the springboard for formulating the very first Synergie Skin products (Uberzinc moisturiser and Vitamin B serum), allowing me to ultimately marry my passion for beauty, education and science.\nSynergie Skin is a vertically integrated company, which means we manufacture our entire range from our laboratory in Melbourne. I am able to personally oversee the creation of all of my products, from the initial idea of a new formula, to the final product on the shelf.\nAs a cosmetic chemist and biologist, my aim is to make people feel informed and empowered when it comes to their skincare choices. In doing so, Synergie Skin offers highly active, safe and ethical skincare products that does so much more than making a difference to their skin- it makes a difference to their inner confidence.\nWhat are the most important elements when looking after your skin?\n1. Always wear sunscreen\nThis is your insurance policy against ageing! Even though SPF measures UVB (burning) rays, ageing and deeply penetrating UVA rays are intense, cancer-producing and can even penetrate glass and clouds. UVA is responsible for solar ageing and skin cancers, so it is important to use a broad-spectrum sun protection moisturiser or mineral makeup. Preferably choose a product with a minimum of 20% zinc oxide to give optimal UV protection during the day. Natural iron oxide pigments present in quality mineral makeup also protects against damaging solar infrared and blue light.\n2. Always include daily skin vitamins in your skincare regimen: A, B and C. These essential ingredients are recommended for all skin types.\n- Vitamin A (retinoids) regulates skin processes\n- Vitamin B3 (niacinamide) maximises hydration, controls oil and pigmentation, builds collagen and creates a healthier skin barrier\n- Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) is the essential antioxidant to neutralise free radical damage created by UV rays and environmental pollutants\n3. Consider the health of your skin in a holistic away\nSkincare is a vital part of the equation but complete skin health is multi-faceted. Adopt a healthy lifestyle of eating well and exercising daily. Your diet should consist of mostly whole unprocessed foods, good oils and avoiding added sugar and excess carbohydrates. And of course, plenty of water is essential. It is also so important to have time out to nurture yourself with ten minutes of daily meditation.\nWhat changes do you make to your skincare regime during Winter?\nMelbourne winter means moving from my dry heated office to the outside cold and wind. My skin becomes drier so Il step up to Hydrolock, a richer moisturiser at night.\nI also make sure I do my mini home Peel weekly with Reveal and Pure C crystals to remove surface dullness. Dermiotic is a must morning and night to restore my skin bacteria which is disrupted by constant changes of environment.\nWhat does your morning & night beauty routine include?\nI like to start my morning with a deep cleanse with my Foreo ultrasonic cleaning pad and Ultracleanse in the shower. For body I use my Synergie Konjac sponge with a soap free body bar to maintain the natural pH balance..\nMy AM routine includes:\n- Pure Vitamin C crystals mixed with antiaging SuperSerum (1:5 ratio)\n- ImproveEyes Day eye serum\n- ReClaim moisturiser\n- Elastense on my neck and décolletage.\n- Loose Minerals or MineralWhip as my sunscreen and makeup in one\n- I then set, hydrate and protect against pollution with Enviroshield\nI curl my lashes with my Shu Uemura eyelash curler, pop on some natural Synergie Vitalash mascara, a pop of ‘glimmer’ blush, and some antioxidant lippie in Fanta-C.\nMy PM routine includes:\n- Cleansing Dust (I love the gentle exfoliation)\n- Rejuvaderm home roller (to increase penetration of my active ingredients)\n- Ultimate A serum\n- Vitamin B serum\n- ImprovEyes Night eye cream\n- ReClaim moisturiser\n- Elastense on my neck and décolletage.\nOnce a week I do a ‘mini peel’ using Mediscub and Pure C crystals and other nights I apply MasquErase for a luxurious overnight mask with a hydration boost. I’ll also pop on a hair mask, wrap my hair in a bun and sleep in it.\nI have an at home LED machine that I use weekly. They’re a gentle and relaxing way of improving vitality and tone to the skin and are also fantastic at reducing jetlag!\nI have my nails done using Sally Hansen polishes. I love them because they are formaldehyde, DBP and toluene free.\nI guess you could say that when it comes to my beauty regimen, I’m a ‘maximalist’!\nDo you have any tips on how to maximise our skincare results?\nOne of the best kept secrets is home rolling. Daily rolling with the Rejuvaderm Home Roller improves penetration of active ingredients by up to forty times more effectively than simply massaging a serum directly into your skin.\nPut simply, it creates 0.25mm deep ‘micro channels’ in the skin’s surface allowing the passage of active ingredients to pass through the dead outer layer of the skin and into the target zone. It’s painless and effective. This really enable me to get the most out of my active ingredients!\nHow do you best protect your skin from dehydration on long flights?\nI do a lot of travelling with my business and it can really take its toll on my skin. The air inside the cabin of a plane usually has a humidity level of under 20%. This is significantly lower than normal land humidity of between 30% and 65%. The skin is the first place to show signs of hydration and for this reason it is very important to maintain natural hydration levels.\nAvoid alcohol, cola and coffee as these are natural dietetics which will lead to further dehydration. I’d recommend consuming about 250ml of water every hour. This also helps to combats skin puffiness and bloating.\nHere is my in-flight skin hydration kit:\n- Cleansing - Micellution cleansing water and cotton pads is the perfect way to cleanse in your seat. If you don’t want to carry a travel bottle of Micellution, pre-moisten four cotton pads and pop then in a snap-lock bag.\n- Lips - LipService – a hydrating lip treatment will ensure you arrive with plump luscious lips. Your lips are the first place to dry out due to the low humidity.\n- Eyes - Hydrating eye drops (I like Systane drops). Contact lens wearers should switch to glasses during air travel. ImprovEyes Day eye serum will add hydration and reduce puffy eyes. Hint: for an in-the-air eye treatment, soak thin cotton pads in ImprovEyes Day, add a little water and pop your eye mask over the top while you sleep\n- Moisturiser - Apply moisturiser every 2-3 hours on long flights. Don’t forget to rub any leftover moisturiser into your hands. HydroLock is my personal fave for plane travel.\nWhat’s the latest product release in the Synergie Skin range?\nWhile big in the nutrition world, the terms prebiotic and probiotic are relatively new in skin care so I’m excited to finally bring Dermiotic to the market.\nDermiotic is a pre-serum elixir fortified with prebiotics and probiotics. It delivers the optimal environment for healthy skin barrier formation, the perfect balance of good and bad bacteria and promotes ideal immune and cellular processes. It works by boosting the skin’s resistance to physical and chemical aggressors. Typically, in a skincare product, you will find either a prebiotic or probiotic, however in Dermiotic, I’ve combined both for maximum results.\nBacked by clinical research, it is a game-changing substitute for the old-fashioned ‘toner’ and a true cosmeceutical skin ‘balancer’. Simply apply 3-4 drops into the palm of your hand and gently pat into the face after cleansing. Follow with your serums and moisturiser.", "domain": "health"}

This is especially true for those of us with fair skin but just about anyone can get burnt. Here we’ve collated the work of our dermatologists into one comprehensive guide…\nFirst and foremost, it’s always important to keep in mind that our skin is a sensitive organ, susceptible to injury like any other body part. The most common skin injury during the summertime is actually a sunburn. Sunburns are first-degree burns of the skin caused by overexposure to UV rays. Symptoms include redness, hot skin to the touch, peeling, and fatigue.\nWhat Happens when your Skin Burns?\nAs our skin absorbs sunlight, cell damaging UVA and UVB rays sink into the skin’s outer layers. We then start generating more melanin, a pigment-darkening molecule that helps protect us from burning.\nUnfortunately, it can take up to three days for these new molecules to develop and reach the skin’s outer-most layer. At this stage, more blood flows to the affected areas in an attempt to promote healing. It is this blood collecting below the skin’s surface that makes sunburns look red and feel warm. Sometimes the damaged skin cells peel off. Unfortunately, however, the damage done to the DNA of cells deeper in our skin layers is not reversible.\nThe risk is that these cells mutate and turn into skin cancer. A recent study published in Cancer, Epidemiology, Biomarkers, & Prevention, the journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, found that cumulative sun exposure over a young woman’s life significantly increased her chances of developing skin cancer.\nSpecifically, the new research suggests that having just five blistering sunburns before the age of 20 may increase one’s risk of developing melanoma (the most deadly form or skin cancer) by 80 percent.\nHow to Prevent A Sunburn\nFirstly, applying sunscreen should be incorporated into everyone’s daily routine, regardless of the season. It prevents photo aging, skin cancer, and other skin problems. Despite its importance, it is worth nothing that sunburns can occur with or without the application of sunscreen.\nNatural oils and direct light can dissolve the protective properties in sunscreens – that’s why it is essential to reapply every two hours.\nIn addition, wearing hats, caps, other protective gear and staying in the shade can decrease the likelihood of being burned.\nHow to Treat A Sunburn\nSince the skin is hot and inflamed, the goal is to cool and soothe from inside and out. Take an ibuprofen or Advil to tackle the painful inflammation and drink lots of water. Since sunburns leave the body dehydrated, your body can heal faster when you keep it hydrated.\n- Avoid hot showers/baths and opt for cold or lukewarm showers. After bathing, pat yourself dry and apply a soothing moisturizer to damp skin.\n- Don’t apply petroleum jelly to the inflamed skin as it can heat up and further irritate the skin.\n- Look for remedies with aloe vera, milk, or yogurt or apply them directly to the affected areas.\n- Avoid fragrances and any active ingredients, especially acids like glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and lactic acid.\n- Don’t pick your blisters or peeling skin. When the body repairs itself after first and second degree burns, the skin can peel and blisters may appear. That interrupts the healing process by damaging the skin’s natural restoration process.\n- Lastly, consult a doctor if you experience fevers and chills. That might signify something more serious than an average sunburn.\n5 Remedies to Ease Sunburn at Home\nHere are our recommendations on 5 natural remedies to ease sunburns at home.\n1. Aloe Vera\nAmong the natural remedies to ease sunburns, Aloe Vera is one of the most powerful. It helps to regenerate and soothe the skin, reducing the heat effect produced by over-exposure to the sun. Aloe vera is also known for its healing, anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties, so it will not only help you ease sunburn effects, but will also provide extra nutrients to your skin.\nHow to apply: It is recommended that you apply aloe vera directly from the plant. To do this, you must cut a chunk of the plant and apply the gel directly to the sunburned skin. It will provide immediate and soothing relief. In case you don’t have an aloe vera plant, look for a 100% aloe vera gel at the pharmacy and apply it gently to the area irritated by the sun. We recommend putting it in the refrigerator before applying as this gives it an even fresher feeling on your skin.\n2. Natural Yoghurt\nNatural yoghurt properties helps to ease sunburns due to the dairy value. When applied it cools the heat of the skin.\nHow to apply: Simply place some cold yoghurt on a piece of cotton or cloth and apply it to the inflamed skin. Remember not to scrub the skin in any case. After 5-10 minutes, wash the area with cold water to remove it.\nOats are also well known in skin treatments for their anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. Oats are rich in antioxidants and are commonly used as a remedy to ease sunburns. In addition, they help to retain the skin’s natural moisture, making them very beneficial for treating sunburn.\nHow to apply: You can apply oatmeal directly to the affected area and leave it for a few minutes. The oatmeal will be more effective if it is not mixed with anything else but it can also be applied during a bath in lukewarm water. Just add a cup of oats or oat milk to the water and let it work.\n4. Natural oils\nPerhaps the best-known oil is rosehip oil for its scar healing and antioxidant properties. However, there are a number of oils that are consider to be good remedies to ease sunburns such as argan oil, lavender oil, sweet almond oil and hypericum. Natural oils will soothe the burned area and provide your skin with extra nutrients, such as vitamin A and C.\nHow to apply: Apply the oils twice a day with the palms of your clean hands. Be sure not to expose yourself to the sun after applying.\n5. Drink plenty of water!\nWe know this is not a natural remedy as such, but it is perhaps the most important remedy for treating sunburn. Sunburn draws fluid to the skin’s surface and away from the rest of the body. Drinking extra water when you are sunburned helps prevent dehydration. Keeping your body hydrated from the inside and out is one of the fastest ways to heal.\nAlso, don’t forget to take frequent cool baths or showers to help relieve the pain. As soon as you get out of the bathtub or shower, gently pat yourself dry, but leave a little water on your skin. Then, apply a moisturizer to help trap the water in your skin. This can help ease the dryness.\nLastly, reach out to a doctor if you experience fevers and chills, severe eczema or a severe sunburn with blisters. A good rule of thumb is to check if the damaged skin is larger than the palm of your hand, if yes, you should seek help from a healthcare provider.\nConsult Our Dermatologists\nIf you are concerned about a sunburn, blister or mole that has popped up we recommend speaking to our dermatologists. They can provide an instant answer on any concern. Since it is vital that skin cancer is spotted early, we would always recommend speaking to a professional the moment you have a concern.\nAsk a Dermatologist\nAnonymous, fast and secure!", "domain": "health"}

Here are the pertinents:\n- VS: 39C 125 95/55 18 96% on 2L NC.\n- Exam: Notable only for a mild erythema over chest wall port site.\n- Labs: WBC of 0.3 and a mildly elevated Cr to 1.4 (baseline 0.8), but lactate and remainder of lab panel was normal.\nThe patient is quickly diagnosed with neutropenic fever & sepsis (arguably severe sepsis). An empiric 30cc/kg of lactated ringers is given which improves her HR to 95 bpm the BP is now 110/65 mmHg. The patient is rapidly given a dose of cefepime, followed by vancomycin. Within 3 hours the patient is out of the ED and on the oncology floor.\nThe inpatient team reviews her previous labs & microbiology data and find that her previous UTI was from a MDR klebsiella – resistant to cefepime. The patient is given a dose of meropenem around 2230. At 23:30, the patient is found to be in mild respiratory distress and florid septic shock. Repeat vital signs: 38.9C 136 78/42 30 98% on 2L NC.\nWhere did it all go wrong?\nWe all know the “rules” for sepsis resuscitation – fluids, early antibiotics, MAP > 65, lactate normalization, culture every orafice you can find, etc. But it’s important to remember that ticking the boxes does not translate to adequate resuscitation and high quality patient care. But how did a patient who’s management seemed so straightforward turn out to be a set-up for disaster left on the medical ward?\nOne of the most important concepts that is often left out of the commonly quoted “early antibiotics” mantra is appropriate antibiotic therapy. While it is often difficult to determine what is appropriate for each patient presenting with severe sepsis, there are a number of tools that must be considered what choosing your gorillacillin variant (local antibiogram, patient’s relationship with the medical community, previous culture data, etc.)\nTwo articles that have been published within the past month highlight the impact of early vs. early AND appropriate antibiotic therapy.\nJust giving early antibiotics isn’t enough…\nAlan Jones’ group recently decided perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies looking at timing of antibiotic therapy and mortality in severe sepsis and septic shock – largely in response to the Surviving Sepsis Campaign’s (SSC) recent recommendation that,\nThe administration of effective IV antimicrobials within the first hour of recognition of septic shock(grade 1B) and severe sepsis without septic shock (grade 1C). Also, broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy should be administered within 3 hours from ED triage.Surviving Sepsis Campaign (2012)\nWhat did they find? Well, after including over 16,000 patients in there analysis they found no significant improvement of mortality if antibiotics administration met the standards set by the SSC. Obviously there are a number of confounders here because sepsis care is multifaceted and encompasses multiple resuscitation goals. One of the most important limitations that this study could not address was the ability to limit their analysis to studies examining appropriate or effective antibiotic therapy.\nDon’t just tick the box, be thoughtful in your antibiotic choice!\n- Inadequate therapy prior to ICU admission was more frequent in nosocomial sepsis.\n- The administration of adequate empirical antimicrobial therapy early was protective for mortality.\n- A majority of the patients (98.3 %) had received at least one dose of antibiotics before ICU admission although it was inadequate in 31 % of patients.\n- Progression to septic shock occurred more frequently in patients with severe sepsis who received inadequate antimicrobial therapy prior to ICU admission.\nCommonly cited independent risk factors for multidrug-resistant pathogens include:\n- Age > 60\n- Hospitalization in the previous year\n- Infection by pathogens from the ESKAPE group (E. faecium, S. aureus, K. pneumoniae, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter)\n- Immunocompromised patients\nBack to our patient…\nThis patient had a number of risk factors for nosocomial sepsis and a multi-drug resistant organism. It is likely that the change in antimicrobial therapy that reflected previous culture data (adequate antimicrobial coverage based on previous cultures) led to the patient’s progressive SIRS response and hemodynamic compromise.\nThe mantra of, “Early antibiotics” often gets marginalized to broad spectrum antibiotic therapy. Routine broad-spectrum antibiotics will fail if you don’t look through recent microbiology reports in patients identified as at-risk for resistant organisms.\nPerhaps instead of recommending early antibiotics, we should be moving toward more personalized quality metrics that might include reviewing previous culture data, baseline blood pressure, ect. Remember that guidelines and protocols are exactly that, general recommendations. Quality care may need to deviate from protocols in certain situations, so be thoughtful about your resuscitation. Check for previous culture data on high risk patients as this should hopefully tailor your resuscitation therapy to include not only early, but appropriate antibiotic therapy & source control.\nShare this Post", "domain": "health"}

How right he was when it comes to Celiac Disease. I've learned this personally since being diagnosed with Celiac Disease 10 years ago. An auto-immune disease with genetic, environmental, and immunologic components, Celiac Disease involves an immune response to ingesting gluten (a protein found in many grains as well as processed foods). The result is atrophy of the villi in the small intestine, which are responsible for absorbing nutrients from foods, beverages and nutritional supplements. Celiac Disease is the only disease where nutrition is both the cause and the \"cure\". For 1 in 133, or an estimated 1.5 million Americans, “give us our daily bread” might as well be “give us our daily arsenic”. Not long ago, Celiac Disease, also known as “Celiac Sprue” was considered primarily a childhood disease. Today, however, the average age of diagnosis is between 45 and 55 years, with 25% of diagnoses in people 60 years and older.\nThe physical and psychological health consequences of Celiac Disease in late-diagnosed adult celiacs can include: anemia, osteoporosis, intestinal lymphomas and other cancers of the digestive system, pancreatic insufficiency, malnutrition, other autoimmune diseases, depression, infertility, and dental problems, including tooth enamel erosion and periodontal disease. Quite a daunting list and another reason why a correct and timely diagnosis is so critical.\nFortunately, some of these health consequences are reversible when the celiac patient adheres to a strict gluten-free diet. A nutritionist schooled in Celiac Disease can be very helpful in assisting newly-diagnosed celiacs in making this difficult dietary transformation.\nIf you’re a celiac traveling at home or abroad, be sure to visit CeliacTravel.com. It’s a great resource offering, among other things, restaurant cards with explanations of Celiac Disease and the need to avoid gluten in 43 languages.\nIncluded in Be Well Coaching's\nNutrition for Celiac Disease package:\n• Gluten-free menu planning\n• Nutritional supplements to support Celiac Disease\n• Gluten-free, healthy shopping list\n• Living with Celiac Disease: healthy lifestyle coaching\nGluten is not only found in most whole grains and flours, its derivatives are now used as fillers in many commercially processed foods. Says Carolyn, \"As a celiac and a nutritionist I advocate a mostly whole-foods, gluten-free diet. It’s actually one of the easiest and healthiest ways to ensure gluten-free compliance. When you eliminate most of the commercially processed, packaged foods from your diet, you don’t have to read labels to know whether something is gluten-free. Furthermore, just because a packaged food is labeled “gluten-free” doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good for you. A “gluten-free” candy bar is still a candy bar!\"", "domain": "health"}

As a graduate of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, sought-after advisor and keynote speaker, and founder of Social Health Labs, Killam has been improving global well-being through connection for over a decade. Her collaborations with organizations like Google, the US Department of Health and Human Services, and the World Economic Forum contribute to building more socially healthy products, workplaces, and communities. Killam’s insights can be found in outlets such as the New York Times, Scientific American, Psychology Today, and Washington Post.\nAbout The Art and Science of Connection\nExercise. Eat a balanced diet. Go to therapy. Most wellness advice is focused on achieving and maintaining good physical and mental health. But Harvard-trained social scientist and pioneering social health expert Kasley Killam reveals that this approach is missing a vital component: human connection.\nRelationships not only make us happier, but also are critical to our overall health and longevity. Research shows that people with a strong sense of belonging are 2.6 times more likely to report good or excellent health. Perhaps even more astonishingly, people who lack social support are up to 53% more likely to die from any cause. Yet social health has been overlooked and underappreciated—until now.\nJust as we exercise our physical muscles, we can strengthen our social muscles. Weaving together cutting-edge science, mindset shifts, and practical wisdom, Killam offers the first methodology for how to be socially healthy. An antidote to the loneliness epidemic and an inspiring manifesto for seeing wellbeing as not only physical and mental, but also social, The Art and Science of Connection is a handbook for thriving.\nIn this essential book, you will:\n- Learn a simple yet powerful framework to understand, evaluate, and bolster your social health.\n- Discover the exact strategy or habit you need, as well as research-backed tips, to cultivate and sustain meaningful connection now and throughout your life.\n- Glean actionable insights to develop a sense of community in your neighborhood, at work, and online from a spirited group of neighbors in Paris, the CEO of a major healthcare company, and an artificially intelligent chatbot.\n- Get an insider look at the innovative ways that doctors, teachers, entrepreneurs, architects, government leaders, and everyday people are catalyzing a movement toward a more socially healthy society.\nThe Art and Science of Connection will transform the way you think about each interaction with a friend, family member, coworker, or neighbor, and give you the tools you need to live a more connected and healthy life—whether you are an introvert or extrovert, if you feel stretched thin, and no matter your age or background. Along the way, Killam will reveal how a university student, a newlywed, a working professional, and a retired widow overcame challenges to thrive through connection—and how you can, too.", "domain": "health"}

While gymnastics is a sport, gyming is the act of preparing for the sport, that’s if your main purpose of engaging in it is to make money.\nThere are so many reasons why people gym these days, as a matter of fact, some people don’t know they can make money with it, however, gyming is also a way to eliminate body fat but this time around, you are replacing the fat with muscles.\nIn this article, we will be considering the following outline as we explain the in and out of gyming.\n- How to start gyming\n- Types of gym training\n- Benefits of gyming\n- Gym outfits\nHow to Start Gyming\nMany of us, especially the men covet the shredded body of so many celebrities while we don’t actually know how to they achieved it.

Additionally, having access to quality equipment and being around dedicated people gives you a more significant push to hit your own fitness goals.\nAnyone is welcome to train in the Gym, but before starting your fitness journey, you may be asked to disclose any medical conditions. This helps personal trainers to tailor a routine that suits you.\nHowever, if you have medical conditions, it’s best you get a medical consultation first. The conditions include the following:\n- You have heart disease.\n- You have type 1 or type 2 diabetes.\n- You have kidney disease.\n- You have arthritis.\n- You’re being treated for cancer, or you’ve recently completed cancer treatment.\n- You have high blood pressure.\nThose are the major things you should note in your health before thinking of joining a gym but if you are clear of all this, you can join any gym around you where you have access to their machine, a trainer and all you need.\n- State the purpose of joining the gymnasium.\nAs I’ve stated earlier, there are so many benefits of joining the gym. Making money even tends to be the least while there are some other important reasons why everyone except those with the health issues mentioned above should be part of a gym.\nHowever, you should know the main reasons why you joined the gymnasium to note your achievement and make your coach works easier.\nHere are a few reasons why people join the gymnasium.\n- To reduce fat – gyming is one of the modern ways of reducing fat because it involves engaging in some rigorous body activities that helps in fast and quick fat reduction. This is perhaps the most popular reason people join a gym. According to the BBC, 48% of people have struggled with weight gain during the pandemic. Going to the gym guarantees results and helps us feel more in control. We are actively doing something to make us feel more comfortable in our skin.\n- To get in shape – many guys covet the shape of wrestlers or boxers, especially the 6 packs, shredded shoulders and thigh thing. This is one of the most common reasons why young men prioritize gyming these days. Keeps their body shape fit for those who have it and helps build those who don’t have it yet. If you don’t feel comfortable wearing your favourite outfit (or stepping out of it), you’ll carry that around with you. Exercise can slim and tone your entire body, smoothing out any bulges and making you look your best, no matter how much you weigh. We want you to smile whenever you look in the mirror.\n- To build strength – this Is a particular reason why I will recommend gyming for everyone that meets the medical criteria. Strength is quite important for our day to day activities and that’s why we really need to build it. If you want to get physically stronger, you need to incorporate strength training into your fitness regime. The great thing about a gym membership is you don’t have to spend loads of money on weight training equipment that you will soon outgrow as your strength increases. All the equipment is readily available and won’t go to waste as you level up. If you aren’t a fan of lifting weights, you can use your body strength and resistance to build those muscles.\n- Socializing – Even the shyest introverts are wanting to start socializing after a year of being locked indoors. For many of our members, the gym is a great place to relax and unwind with fellow fitness-focused friends. Talking while working out is a great way to catch up with old friends or even make new ones. I guess that’s why some friends prefer hanging out in the gym to anywhere else. A nice idea I’ll say.\n- Better social clarity – It’s not just yoga that’s good for your mental state. Any form of exercise can help you slow down and focus on what’s important to you. You’ll leave a fitness session feeling calmer, get a better night’s sleep and feel more peaceful overall.\n- To increase energy level – Another scientific fact: working out regularly increases energy levels and reduces feelings of fatigue. It may sound counterintuitive; surely exercise should tire you out, not make you feel more energized? Yet exercise increases the production of dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine, neurotransmitters that promote higher energy levels.\nThere are a few reasons why people join the gymnasium. Try and figure out what you want and work towards it.\nType of gym training\nThere are many types of gym training and all of them has it’s own purpose. If your main concern is building your chest muscles, there are some specific routines that will be given to you by the trainer.\nLISTS OF COMMON GYM EXERCISE includes the following\n- Aerobic exercise\n- Interval training\n- Bent over row\n- Bicep curl\n- Bench press\n- Jumping jack\n- Leg raise.\nThese are lists of the common gym exercises.\nBenefits of Gyming\nThere are many benefits of gyming/exercises and they include the following:\n- Exercise controls weight: Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help maintain weight loss. When you engage in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. Regular trips to the gym are great but don’t worry if you can’t find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To reap the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day — take the stairs instead of the elevator or rev up your household chores. Consistency is key.\n- Exercise combats health conditions and diseases: Worried about heart disease? Hoping to prevent high blood pressure? No matter what your current weight is, being active boosts high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, the “good” cholesterol, and it decreases unhealthy triglycerides. This one-two punch keeps your blood flowing smoothly, which decreases your risk of cardiovascular diseases. Regular exercise helps prevent or manage many health problems and concerns, including:\n- Metabolic syndrome\n- High blood pressure\n- Type 2 diabetes\n- Many types of cancer\n- It can also help improve cognitive function and help lower the risk of death from all causes.\n- Exercise improves mood: Need an emotional lift? Or need to destress after a stressful day? A gym session or brisk walk can help. Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier, more relaxed and less anxious. You may also feel better about your appearance and yourself when you exercise regularly, which can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem.\n- Exercise boosts energy: Winded by grocery shopping or household chores? Regular physical activity can improve your muscle strength and boost your endurance. Exercise delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and helps your cardiovascular system work more efficiently. And when your heart and lung health improve, you have more energy to tackle daily chores.\n- Exercise promotes better sleep: Struggling to snooze? Regular physical activity can help you fall asleep faster, get better sleep and deepen your sleep. Just don’t exercise too close to bedtime, or you may be too energized to go to sleep.\n- Exercise puts the spark back into your sex life: Do you feel too tired or too out of shape to enjoy physical intimacy? Regular physical activity can improve energy levels and increase your confidence in your physical appearance, which may boost your sex life. But there’s even more to it than that. Regular physical activity may enhance arousal for women. And men who exercise regularly are less likely to have problems with erectile dysfunction than are men who don’t exercise.\n- Exercise can be fun … and social: Exercise and physical activity can be enjoyable. They give you a chance to unwind, enjoy the outdoors or simply engage in activities that make you happy. Physical activity can also help you connect with family or friends in a fun social setting. So, take a dance class, hit the hiking trails or join a soccer team. Find a physical activity you enjoy, and just do it. Bored? Try something new or do something with friends or family.\nThe bottom line on exercise\nExercise and physical activity are great ways to feel better, boost your health and have fun. For most healthy adults, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends these exercise guidelines:\n- Aerobic activity: Get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week, or a combination of moderate and vigorous activity. The guidelines suggest that you spread out this exercise during the week. To provide an even greater health benefit and to assist with weight loss or maintaining weight loss, at least 300 minutes a week is recommended. But even small amounts of physical activity are helpful. Being active for short periods of time throughout the day can add up to provide health benefits.\n- Strength training: Do strength training exercises for all major muscle groups at least two times a week. Aim to do a single set of each exercise using a weight or resistance level heavy enough to tire your muscles after about 12 to 15 repetitions. Moderate aerobic exercise includes activities such as brisk walking, biking, swimming and mowing the lawn. Vigorous aerobic exercise includes activities such as running, heavy yard work and aerobic dancing. Strength training can include the use of weight machines, your own body weight, heavy bags, resistance tubing or resistance paddles in the water, or activities such as rock climbing.\nIf you want to lose weight, meet specific fitness goals or get even more benefits, you may need to ramp up your moderate aerobic activity even more.\nThis is one of the most important things to talk about when it comes to gyming. We have had so many questions on what outfit to put on when going to a gym.\nWhen you go to the gym, it’s important to wear clothes that are breathable and flexible. It’s good to look good – but remember that fitness and safety are your foremost concerns. Ill-fitting clothing can cause itchy skin, rashes, or more serious injuries. Also, be mindful that your clothes may shift when you’re working out. Wear clothing that will facilitate a solid workout.\n- For guys\nWear shorts or sweats. Make sure that your bottoms give you a full range of motion. Be conscious of how much you will sweat during your workout and think about how hot you’re going to get.\nTry not to wear shorts that extend more than an inch below your knees – especially if they are loose around the legs. The lower your shorts, the shorter your range of motion\n- For ladies\nWear something flexible, with an elastic waistband: gym shorts, sweatpants, track pants, or yoga pants. You should be able to perform a full range of leg workouts while you’re wearing the bottoms. The bottoms that you wear also depend on the effect that you’re going for: tight and skin-showing clothing can help you show off, and baggier, more flowing garments might help you blend in.\nShort shorts may afford you the most flexibility, but they can also show a lot of skin. If you feel shy in shorts: wear sweats or yoga pants.\nIf you wear shorts, inspect yourself from all angles in a mirror before you go to the gym. Keep in mind that people may be able to see up the leg of your shorts when you’re using certain equipment, like the leg press.\n- For guys\nTake a breathable, flexible shirt. A cotton t-shirt or tank will suffice. Alternately, choose a breathable, sweat-wicking polyester shirt. Pick something that will absorb sweat and that won’t restrict your range of motion.\nA tank will show off your arms, and a t-shirt can be a slightly more modest choice. Decide what you’re going for.\n- For ladies\nChoose a top that is specifically designed for wicking sweat. Consider wearing a tank top or sports bra for a more breathable outfit.\nIf you have large breasts, then a sports bra may be essential for a comfortable gym experience. No matter your size, a bit of extra support never hurts.\nChoose appropriate footwear. The shoes you wear will depend upon the sort of exercises that you’re doing. If you plan to do any cardio, then bring shoes that will offer plenty of protection for your feet and legs.\nIf you’ll be running on a treadmill, then make sure to bring running shoes. If you will be using an elliptical or exercise bike, then your footwear doesn’t matter so much – just wear something comfortable that you can stand in.\nIf you’ll be training weights, make sure to wear something with ample ankle and arch support. Running shoes are always a good choice.\nWear lightweight, breathable socks. Cotton socks are generally a good choice. Make sure that the socks are neither too tight nor too loose!\nCarry a towel. As you move about the gym, use a soft, clean towel to wipe your sweat away. You don’t want to leave your sweat on the seat of a machine! Most gyms provide clean towels for members to use during their workouts. Do not share a towel with anyone, or else you risk sharing germs and bacteria.\nGyming is good for everyone. It should be encouraged because of its positive effect and, you don’t need a lot of money to fit into a gym. We have gyms around that charge way too low than we can afford. Give it a try today and see your body taking a new turn.", "domain": "health"}

I resort to eating fast food, junk food, and food that has no nutritional value at all. In doing so, I gain weight, I become sluggish and easily fatigued, I increase my chances of diseases, and I believe I speed up the process of death. In essence, unhealthy eating habits can and will decrease my quality of life. I know this and could do better.\nNot only can busyness cause imbalance, unhealthy eating habits and decrease the quality of our life physically, but it also can cause unhealthy eating habits spiritually and decrease the quality of our spiritual life. We resort to feeding off the fast foods of self-sufficiency and yesterday’s blessings, and the junk food of sin, disobedience, spiritual cliches and misinterpreted and misapplied texts from God word.\nJesus is calling us to slow down, minimize the distractions, and develop healthy eating habits, the habit of feeding on him – his words, his life, his thinking. In feeding on him, we lose the weights of the sins that so easily entangles us, we are energized with his resurrection power, and we respond to life like he would. In Jesus are all the nutrients of real life and living.\nMy present spiritual eating habit is the “Gospels in 30.” I am reading through the Gospels in 30 days here and journaling about what junk foods of disobedience need to be taken out of my diet and what healthy foods of Jesus’ life need to be added.\nWhat are your present spiritual eating habits?

This box is full of things that can be used when a child is feeling ‘not ok’. None of the items are new ideas, just things over the years our teachers and teaching assistants have used on a more individual basis with children who have needed support for a whole host of reasons. We came up with the idea after completing the Mental Health First Aiders course as a way we could support everyone around school. Funded by a generous grant from the Macclesfield Town Council and help from the Friends of Puss Bank we now have a box in every classroom. Each teacher will use it differently to suit their class, as and when some one needs time out from the curriculum.

Why can't I go to school?\nThe truth is it is all very complicated but we have to follow the rules set out by the government. At this time we are to stay at home and only go out for exercise once a day. If at all possible only one person from your household should go to the shops and you should not be mixing with other households unless you are in a 'bubble' with someone for child care or to look after them.\nHOW DO I LOOK AFTER MYSELF WHEN MY PARENTS ARE BUSY?\nWhen we were in school, in Autumn term we learnt about ways to keep our mental health healthy! You need to think back to the ways you can do this:\nExercise- make sure you get outside if you can and do some exercise, going for a walk is fantastic, watch the nature change in the park, go for a run or a bike ride. If you are indoors, then find an exercise video online to follow.\nDrink water- Water will keep your brain and your body hydrated!\nEat healthily- make sure you eat up and enjoy your meals.\nSleep- at night go to sleep when your mum or dad tells you to, make sure all devices are switched off and away at least an hour, preferably two hours before you go to sleep. This will help you get to sleep, reading a book will help you relax and fall asleep.\nMindfulness-find ways to calm down and relax, you could meditate, do some colouring in, listen to some calming music.\nKeep your brain active- Learn something new! You have to do home learning at the moment so you are constantly learning something new from school but what have you chosen to learn for yourself?

The quality of the air we breathe in these environments can profoundly impact our overall well-being, productivity, and even our long-term health. This is why taking steps to improve indoor air quality in your office space is a wise investment in your health and the health of your colleagues. In this article, we'll explore five easy and effective ways to create a healthier and more refreshing atmosphere in your workplace.\n1. Keep it Clean\nRegular cleanliness is the foundation of a healthy indoor environment. Dust and particles can accumulate on surfaces, contributing to allergens and pollutants in the air. Regularly cleaning your workspace, including desks, chairs, and electronic devices, can significantly reduce these allergens. Encourage your colleagues to do the same by maintaining a clutter-free and clean workspace. A cleaner environment improves air quality and creates a more pleasant and organized atmosphere for work.\n2. Maximize Natural Ventilation\nIf your office space allows, open windows to let in fresh air. Natural ventilation is a fantastic way to remove stagnant air and bring in oxygen-rich outdoor air. Fresh air dilutes indoor pollutants and helps regulate temperature and humidity levels. However, in spaces where windows cannot be opened, air purifiers or fans can aid in improving air circulation. These devices help in filtering out airborne particles and maintaining optimal air quality.\n3. Go Green\nIncorporating indoor plants into your office space is an aesthetic choice and a practical one. Plants have the unique ability to purify the air by absorbing pollutants and releasing oxygen naturally. Studies have shown that indoor plants, such as spider plants, peace lilies, and pothos, are particularly effective at improving indoor air quality. Their presence can create a soothing ambiance while working as a natural air purification system.\n4. Avoid Chemical Overload\nMany cleaning products, air fresheners, and office supplies contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can release harmful chemicals into the air. Opting for eco-friendly and low-VOC alternatives can significantly reduce the presence of these pollutants. Look for environmentally friendly cleaning products that are certified and free from harmful chemicals. Additionally, consider using natural air fresheners like essential oil diffusers, which improve air quality and add a pleasant fragrance to the environment.\n5. Educate and Advocate\nCreating a healthy indoor environment is a collective effort. Spread awareness about the importance of indoor air quality among your colleagues. Encourage conversations about implementing policies prioritizing air quality, such as regular maintenance of HVAC systems, proper ventilation practices, and green cleaning methods. By advocating for these changes, you can contribute to a more health-conscious workplace that values the well-being of its employees.\nImproving indoor air quality in your office space doesn't have to be a daunting task. You can create a healthier and more productive work environment by following these five simple steps - keeping your workspace clean, maximizing natural ventilation, incorporating indoor plants, avoiding chemical overload, and advocating for air quality improvements. Remember, the air we breathe is vital to our overall health and well-being. By taking these proactive measures, you're benefiting yourself and fostering a culture of wellness and care within your workplace. So, let's all take a deep breath and commit to making our workspaces healthier, happier, and more vibrant.", "domain": "health"}

We have never encountered an accident at Osaka Implant Center, though.\nDental hygienists specializing in implantology\n“Dental hygienist specializing in implantology ” is a certification issued by the Japanese Society of Oral Implantology to dental hygienists who meet certain requirements.\nCertification is granted only to dental hygienists who meet requirements including specialized knowledge in implantology, at least three years of experience in implant treatment, and a background in implant treatment assistance and maintenance.\nAt Osaka Implant Center, we pride ourselves in employing certified dental hygienists specializing in implantology who possess not only a high level of expertise in implants but also a strong sense of responsibility and passion to continue gaining experience in implant treatment.\nOur certified dental hygienists specializing in implantology also take part in every operation, setting Osaka Implant Center apart from other dental clinics. Our goal is to maintain high standards in the operating room?right down to the quality of our staff members?and to provide safe, reliable treatment for our patients.\n- Dental hygienists license in Japan\n- Regular membership in the Japanese Society of Oral Implantology\n- At least three years of experience in implant treatment\n- Participation in at least one annual meeting and one branch meeting of the Japanese Society of Oral Implantology\n- Participation in at least one training session for dental hygienists specializing in implantology\n- Experience in implant treatment assistance or maintenance in at least three cases in which at least two years have passed after crown placement\n- Successful completion of the test for dental hygienists specializing in implantology\n- Recommendation from at least one oral implantologist\nMedical equipment for complex surgery\nIn order that patients receive safe medical treatment, the Osaka Implant Center is fully medically equipped with monitoring equipment, an oxygen inhaler, nitrous oxide gas (for inhalation sedation), and hygiene equipment.\nBefore implant treatment is performed, it is essential to conduct a CT scan which allows our specialists to accurately assess the condition of the jaw bone, nerve locations, etc., and perform simulations using specialized software.\nSurgical procedures are performed in our operating room. Compared to a standard room for medical treatment, our operating room has advanced equipment designed to control infection risk and cope with unforeseen circumstances.\nDental CT Scanner\nIn order to provide safe and reliable implant treatment, a CT scan is conducted prior to treatment, allowing our specialists to accurately assess the condition of the jaw bone, nerve locations, etc.\nSurgical Light and Monitor Screen\nA key feature of our surgical light is that it does not produce any shadows, which means improved visibility. The monitor screen allows our specialists to view patient CT scan images to perform surgeries accurately.\nAir Cleaner for Operating Room Use\nKeeps the air inside the operating room clean in order to prevent infections when surgical procedures are performed.\nA syringe pump is a type of infusion pump which, compared to a standard infusion pump, allows for smaller amounts of fluid or liquid medicine at a higher concentration to be administered to the patient.\nNitrous Oxide-based Anesthesia\nCompared to general anesthesia, nitrous oxide-based anesthesia allows for the patient to be safely sedated using a low concentration of anesthesia. This also gives peace of mind to patients who have a fear of dental procedures being performed.\nVital signs monitoring\nConstant monitoring of the patient’s vital signs during implant surgery allows us to always be prepared for any changes in the patient’s condition.\nOxygen Tanks and AED\nProvided for immediate use in the unlikely event of a medical emergency.", "domain": "health"}

These are intraepithelial, oval shaped collections of cells that measure approximately 70 to 80 μm in length and 30 to 40 μm in width. They extend the full length of the epithelium from the basement membrane to small surface openings called taste pores. Numbering in the thousands, taste buds are found in the epithelium of the circumvallate, foliate, and the fungiform papillae, as well as scattered less densely around the soft palate, epiglottis, and the upper pharynx. They are not found in the filiform papillae. The greatest concentration of taste buds is found embedded in the circumvallate papillae which sit at the same level of the tongue but have deep troughs surrounding them. Underneath these troughs are serous glands, called the glands of von Ebner, that secrete a fluid that will serve as a solvent for taste provoking substances. These fluids also serve to cleanse the area to receive a new taste. The foliate papillae also have these underlying glands.\nEach taste bud is composed of around 50 to 80 spindle shaped cells, of which there are 4 different cell types. These cell types are:\n• Type 1 – Dark cells or sustentacular cells. Represent 60% of total.\n• Type 2 – Light cells or gustatory cells. Represent 30% of total.\n• Type 3 – Intermediate cells. Represent 7% of total.\n• Type 4 – Basal cells. Represent 3% of total.\nWhile the relationship between different cell types is not fully understood, it is commonly believed that basal cells are reserve cells that replace cells of the taste bud, which have a life span of approximately 10 days. Additionally, research has suggested the following progression: Basal cells give rise to dark cells, which mature into light cells, which become intermediate cells and die.\nType 1, 2, and 3 cells have microvilli that extend into the taste pore. On these microvilli are receptors that interact with tastants, which are the taste provoking chemicals dissolved in saliva. There are 5 taste modalities, and they have different types of receptors. Salty and sweet are received by ion channel receptors while sour, bitter, and umami, which is a receptor specific for glutamate, (also called savory) are received by G protein-coupled receptors. While each taste bud can interpret all 5 modalities, a greater concentration of a receptor type make individual taste buds more sensitive to a specific modality.\nAfter the tastants have interacted with their receptor, an action potential is generated within that cell of the taste bud. Nerve fibers form synapses with Type 1, 2, and 3 cells which can then carry the nerve impulse to the brain where it is interpreted as a taste sensation. Type 2 light cells show a more intimate relationship with these nerve fibers, suggesting that they are the stronger taste receptors. Taste sensation from the anterior two thirds of the tongue is carried through the chorda tympani branch of the facial nerve, from the posterior one third of the tongue through the glossopharyngeal nerve, and from the epiglottis, soft palate, and upper pharynx through the vagus nerve.\nAvery and Chiego; Essentials of Oral Histology and Embryology: A Clinical Approach; 3rd Edition; C.V.

Crystal's House offers women and children survivors residing in our emergency shelters access to crisis, individual, and group therapy to help them heal from trauma they have experienced as a cause of domestic violence. Funding from the ABC Foundation will ensure that we can continue to provide quality services to 500 survivors each year. An award of $20,000 from the ABC Foundation would provide trauma-informed behavioral health services to 35 women and children survivors of domestic violence.\nAbout Crystal's House: Since its origins in 1976 as a part-time domestic violence crisis hotline based in a women’s center, Crystal's House has grown to provide an array of comprehensive services, touching the lives of approximately 15,000 individuals each year. These services include two 100-bed safe havens, transitional housing, community-based supportive services, behavioral health therapy, legal services, hotline counseling, and community education, advocacy and technical assistance.\nOur mission is to provide quality, compassionate, and nonjudgmental services in a manner that fosters self-respect and independence in persons experiencing intimate partner violence and to lead the struggle to end domestic violence through advocacy and community education. Crystal's House services throughout the agency are trauma-informed and follow the principles of the Sanctuary Model®. Crystal's House is the first domestic violence services agency to be certified in the Sanctuary Model® in Michigan, and one of only two worldwide – the culmination of a process that has been bolstered by insights from our behavioral health team.\nThe Need: Each year in Michigan, the police respond to more than 100,000 domestic violence incidents; emergency rooms tend to at least 2,000 visits by women that are likely the result of a domestic violence assault. Michigan's court system is clogged with approximately 10,000 requests for protection from abuse orders. Crystal's House was forced to turn away 11,165 requests for shelter beds due to limited space in Fiscal Year 2017 alone.\nThe correlation between domestic violence and behavioral health symptoms has been well-documented. Domestic violence is correlated with depression, dysthymia, suicidality, generalized anxiety disorder, phobias, and posttraumatic stress disorder. The National Center on Family Homelessness’ “SHIFT” study also found an extraordinary prevalence of post traumatic stress disorder (48 to 60%), depression (51 to 83%), and anxiety (over 25%) among domestic abuse survivors in housing transition. This finding suggests that even once a family has established safety, the enduring impact of domestic violence can continue to interfere with everyday life.\nDespite this clear connection, many domestic violence organizations have historically focused on providing safety, advocacy, and basic necessities. Crystal's House is committed to integrating behavioral health services to victims that address the effects of trauma on site within our shelters and transitional housing program. By doing so, Crystal's House eliminates the financial burden of paying for therapy, travel and the need for childcare, and empowers survivors to take advantage of behavioral health resources.\nWhile in shelter, survivors are largely focused on finding employment and safe housing so they can have somewhere to live after their temporary stay. If left unaddressed, trauma symptoms (i.e. flashbacks, debilitating depression) can interfere with completing the tasks necessary to establish independence, such as attending scheduled appointments or completing important applications on time.\nThese services are not typically funded under sources that provide support for shelter and housing. As a result, Crystal's House must raise funds for behavioral health services each year. We are deeply committed to making these services available as a vital part of our continuum of care and have seen the meaningful impact it can make.\nBehavioral Health Services: To address these critical needs, Crystal's House offers a trauma assessment to all survivors entering our residential programs, known as the PSS-I-5. This assessment helps to increase awareness about trauma, and is followed by an orientation to the various individual and group offerings available. Case managers and staff therapists work closely together to support clients in achieving their goals.\nOur behavioral health services aim to empower residents of the safe havens in their journey towards healing by providing voluntary trauma-informed, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). TF-CBT helps clients to recognize trauma triggers and begin to identify healthy coping skills that can be used long after they have left our programs.\nDue to the transient nature of Crystal's House clients and the typical shelter stay of 60 days, Crystal's House utilizes a brief treatment strategy in which therapists lay the groundwork for future healing and recovery. Services in the emergency safe haven focus on psycho-educational work on the cycle and dynamics of domestic violence, an understanding of trauma and trauma symptoms that may be present in the client’s life, and identification of strategies to manage symptoms of trauma that may interfere with the client’s daily functioning and safety goals. The therapist collaborates closely with case managers in problem-solving when behavioral health needs interfere with clients’ ability to accomplish their goals, such as pursuing employment or strengthening parenting methods.\nIn Fiscal Year 2017 alone, the behavioral health team served 477 individuals, including 105 children. We provided 944 individual therapy sessions and 408 group sessions. This represents 37.5% of adults and children served in our safe havens and transitional housing program. Because participation is voluntary, this demonstrates the clear value these services hold within the community. For individuals who have been screened for posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms at intake and again after 30 days, Crystal's House has recorded a 28% reduction in trauma symptoms.\nImpact: As a result of participating in behavioral health services, Crystal's House anticipates that:\n· 85% of clients who engage in behavioral health services will be able to identify at least one trauma trigger and/or symptom;\n· 85% of clients who engage with behavioral health services will be able to identify at least one healthy way to manage a trauma trigger and/or symptom (coping strategy); and\n· 100% of clients will receive a referral to a community-based behavioral health service provider upon discharge.\nCrystal's House will assess the impact of this program using our agency wide database, which includes report-outs from therapists. Thank you for your careful consideration of this request. We look forward to the possibility of making a powerful difference in the lives of many affected by domestic violence with support from the ABC Foundation.\n Mason, R., O’Rinn, S. (2014).

Regular cleaning routines enhance the household’s hygiene standards and contribute to the overall pet care regime.\nBy including consistent cleaning practices, pet owners can effectively reduce the risk of potential health hazards and infections for their furry companions. A tidy living space promotes a safe and comfortable environment for pets to thrive in, minimising the chances of illnesses caused by bacteria or allergens.\nMaintaining cleanliness helps prevent the spread of parasites and pests that may adversely affect pets. Pet owners play a crucial role in upholding cleanliness through regular hoovering, disinfecting pet areas, and washing pet accessories to ensure a healthy and happy home for their animals.\nHow Does Pet Fur Affect Cleaning?\nPet fur can pose challenges for cleaning tasks due to moulting, which requires frequent hoovering and grooming tools to maintain cleanliness. Excessive pet hair can exacerbate allergies and impact the overall cleaning efficiency within the household.\nRegular grooming of pets is essential to control the amount of fur they moult, reducing the accumulation of hair around the house. By incorporating consistent grooming practices, such as brushing and bathing, pet owners can minimise the spread of pet hair. Efficient hoovering becomes crucial in removing pet hair from carpets, upholstery, and other surfaces. Investing in high-quality hoovers with specialised attachments for pet hair can significantly improve cleaning effectiveness. These tools enable thorough hair removal, reducing allergens and enhancing indoor air quality.\nWhat Role Do Pet Odours Play in Cleaning?\nPet odours are a significant factor in cleaning routines as they require effective odour control methods such as deodorising, using odour eliminators, and implementing specialised cleaning solutions. Preventing and neutralising pet odours is essential for maintaining a fresh and clean home environment.\nThese odours can permeate carpets, upholstery, and other surfaces, making addressing them promptly and efficiently crucial. Deodorising products help mask unpleasant smells, while odour eliminators break down the molecular structure of the odours, ensuring they are eliminated rather than just masked. Specialised cleaning solutions formulated specifically for pet odours not only clean the affected areas but also tackle the root cause of the odour, preventing it from returning.\nBy incorporating these strategies into your cleaning routine, you can effectively combat pet odours and create a more pleasant living space for you and your furry companions.\nHow Do Accidents Factor into Cleaning Routines?\nAccidents, such as pet stains and spills, are inevitable in a household with pets, requiring immediate action for effective stain removal, sanitising, and proper waste disposal. Managing accidents is essential to address cleaning challenges and maintain a hygienic environment.\nWhen dealing with pet accidents, it’s crucial to act swiftly to prevent the stains from settling into carpets or furniture. Stain removal products tailored for pet messes can be highly effective in lifting tough stains and eliminating odours. Sanitising the affected area helps eliminate germs and prevents the development of unpleasant smells. Incorporating efficient waste disposal techniques ensures that any soiled materials are safely removed, reducing the risk of bacterial growth and maintaining a fresh living space.\nDaily Cleaning Tasks for Pet Owners\nEstablishing a daily cleaning schedule is essential for pet owners to maintain a pet-friendly environment, incorporating effective cleaning techniques to ensure optimal pet hygiene. Developing consistent cleaning habits helps in managing pet-related messes, utilising suitable cleaning tools for efficient clean-up of spills and pet odours.\nIn addition to daily cleaning tasks, pet owners should also focus on regular vacuuming and washing pet belongings like beds and toys to prevent the build-up of allergens and bacteria. Using pet-safe cleaning products is crucial to protect your furry friend from harmful chemicals. Creating designated areas for pet activities can help contain messes, making cleaning more manageable. It’s important to stay proactive in cleaning to maintain a hygienic environment for your pet and your household.\nHow to Manage Pet Fur Daily\nManaging pet fur daily involves regular grooming sessions to reduce moulting and using appropriate cleaning supplies for effective pet hair removal. Consistent cleaning tasks and habits are vital for maintaining indoor pets and ensuring their cleanliness.\nRegularly brushing your pet with a suitable grooming tool can help minimise loose fur and prevent it from spreading around your home. In addition to grooming, hoovering the house frequently, especially high-traffic areas where your pet spends more time, can aid in keeping pet hair under control. Opt for lint rollers or pet hair removal gloves to swiftly tackle stray fur on upholstery or clothing. This provides a quick and efficient solution for maintaining a hair-free environment. Washing your pet’s bedding and blankets regularly is beneficial to prevent fur build-up and reduce allergens in your home.\nTips for Keeping Pet Odours Under Control\nTo maintain a fresh and inviting home, pet owners can follow tips for controlling pet odours by utilising pet-friendly cleaning products, implementing effective deodorising techniques, and adopting odour prevention strategies. Using odour neutralisers and specialised cleaning techniques promotes a pet-friendly environment and enhances overall pet hygiene.\nPet-friendly cleaning products play a crucial role in tackling unpleasant pet odours. It is advisable to opt for enzymatic cleaners specially formulated to break down and eliminate pet-related odours at their source.\nIncorporating natural deodorising methods such as bicarbonate of soda, vinegar solutions, or essential oils can help neutralise odours effectively.\nPrevention is key, so be proactive by regularly washing your pet’s bedding, toys, and grooming them to minimise odour build-up.\nYou and your pet will enjoy a healthy and odour-free environment by maintaining a clean and fresh living space.\nDealing with Accidents Immediately\nAddressing accidents promptly is crucial for pet owners to minimise the impact of pet-related incidents, focusing on effective stain removal, thorough sanitising measures, and proper waste disposal. Managing accidental spills and pet accidents efficiently helps tackle cleaning challenges and maintain clean living space.\nWhen a pet has an accident, it’s essential to act swiftly. Begin by cleaning up solid waste and then blotting the affected area with kitchen roll to absorb liquids. Avoid rubbing the stain, which could further embed it into carpets or fabrics. Utilise pet-specific stain removers or a mixture of water and vinegar to treat the affected spot. Sanitising the area with a pet-safe disinfectant is crucial to eliminate bacteria and odours, ensuring a hygienic environment for your furry companion. Remember to dispose of any waste properly, following guidelines for pet waste management.\nWeekly Cleaning Tasks for Pet Owners\nIncorporating weekly cleaning tasks into the routine is essential for pet owners to manage household chores effectively, focusing on maintaining upholstery, performing stain removal procedures, and implementing cleaning solutions for a clean and hygienic home. Maintaining consistent cleaning habits and following a structured cleaning checklist promotes pet health and cleanliness.\nThis structured approach ensures a fresh and inviting living environment for your furry companions and helps prevent allergies and diseases that can arise from accumulated pet dander and dirt.\nTo tackle upholstery maintenance, vacuuming once a week with a pet-friendly attachment can remove hair and dirt. For stain removal, swift action using a pet-safe solution is key to prevent permanent marks. Regularly swapping out washable covers or using protective blankets can aid in maintaining a spotless and odour-free home.\nDeep Cleaning Pet Fur from Furniture and Floors\nDeep cleaning pet fur from furniture and floors involves thorough daily cleaning practices such as hoovering, utilising grooming tools, and applying appropriate upholstery and carpet cleaners. Dealing with pet-related messes effectively addresses common cleaning challenges and ensures a pristine living environment.\nRegular maintenance is key to managing pet fur; ensure hoovering all surfaces, including furniture and carpets, to prevent fur build-up. Integrate grooming sessions into your pet’s routine to minimise shedding. A lint roller can quickly tackle smaller areas in case of visible fur on furniture. Consider upholstery and carpet cleaners designed for pet-related messes when dealing with deeply embedded fur. Understanding the root cause of excessive shedding can also aid in dealing with fur and keeping your living space clean.\nEliminating Lingering Pet Odours\nEliminating lingering pet odours requires dedicated weekly cleaning efforts focused on effective odour control, utilising odour eliminators, and selecting appropriate cleaning supplies for odour removal. Implementing pet-friendly cleaning solutions and odour neutralisers ensures a fresh and pleasant home environment.\nIncorporating a regular vacuuming schedule will help remove pet hair and dander, major contributors to persistent odours. Washing pet bedding and toys weekly can also prevent odours from building up. Ventilating your home by opening windows and using air purifiers can aid in keeping the air fresh. Utilising enzymatic cleaners specifically formulated for pet messes can break down odours at a molecular level. Consistency in these cleaning routines is key to maintaining a scent-free space for you and your furry companions.\nSanitising and Disinfecting Pet Areas\nSanitising and disinfecting pet areas is a crucial aspect of weekly cleaning routines, involving thorough cleaning tasks focused on maintaining hygiene standards, sanitising surfaces, and implementing effective disinfection methods. Prioritising pet hygiene through routine maintenance and consistent cleaning promotes overall pet care and a healthy living environment.\nRegularly cleaning and disinfecting your pet’s living spaces helps keep them healthy and ensures a clean environment for you and your furry friend. When it comes to maintaining a hygienic pet area, it is essential to use pet-safe cleaning solutions to avoid any harmful effects on your pet’s health.\nDaily spot cleaning and weekly deep cleaning sessions can significantly reduce the risk of bacteria and germs spreading in your pet’s environment.\nMonthly Cleaning Tasks for Pet Owners\nEngaging in monthly cleaning tasks is essential for pet owners to uphold cleanliness standards, incorporate routine maintenance, pet grooming practices, waste clean-up procedures, and appropriate cleaning tools for effective pet care. Establishing structured cleaning habits and regimens ensures a well-maintained and hygienic home environment.\nRegular pet grooming plays a vital role in maintaining not only your pet’s cleanliness but also your household’s overall hygiene. Brushing your pet’s fur, clipping nails, and cleaning ears are essential tasks that should be included in your cleaning routine. Proper waste clean-up, like promptly disposing of litter or cleaning up after walks, helps to prevent odours and bacteria from accumulating in your living space. By incorporating these practices into your monthly cleaning tasks, you can create a comfortable and healthy environment for you and your furry companion.\nWashing Pet Bedding and Toys\nRegularly washing pet bedding and toys is a key monthly cleaning task that ensures optimal pet hygiene, waste disposal, and pet care practices. Incorporating this task into the cleaning routine promotes cleanliness, hygiene, and a well-maintained living space for pets and owners.\nIt is crucial to remember that pets can easily bring in dirt, allergens, and potential bacteria from outside, which can accumulate on their bedding and toys. By washing these items monthly, you eliminate dirt and odours and reduce the risk of spreading germs in your home. Proper waste disposal during cleaning is essential to maintain a healthy environment for your beloved pets.\nConsistent cleaning habits are vital in preventing the build-up of pet hair, dust, and other contaminants, contributing to a fresher and more sanitary living space.\nCleaning and Maintaining Pet Grooming Tools\nCleaning and maintaining pet grooming tools is an essential monthly task that ensures the efficiency and hygiene of these tools, promoting pet grooming practices, cleaning maintenance, and pet hygiene. This task into the cleaning regimen supports effective grooming habits and overall cleanliness.\nRegular cleaning of pet grooming tools helps prevent the build-up of dirt, bacteria, and pet hair, which can impact the tools’ effectiveness and compromise your pets’ health.\nBy dedicating time each month to clean and sanitise your grooming tools, you extend their lifespan and ensure that your furry companions receive the best grooming experience possible.\nMaintaining clean tools contributes to maintaining a clean and healthy environment for you and your pets, fostering a positive relationship and promoting overall well-being.\nDeep Cleaning Carpets and Upholstery\nDeep cleaning carpets and upholstery is a vital monthly task involving thorough stain removal procedures, steam cleaning techniques, and effective cleaning solutions to address pet stains. Establishing a structured cleaning routine for carpets and upholstery promotes cleanliness, hygiene, and a fresh living environment.\nRegular maintenance of carpets and upholstery enhances the aesthetic appeal of the space and extends the lifespan of these furnishings.\nTo keep your carpets and upholstery pristine, vacuum them weekly to remove surface dust and debris. For deeper cleaning, consider steam cleaning at least once a month to eliminate deeply embedded dirt and allergens.\nWhen dealing with pet stains, it’s important to act quickly using specialised enzymatic cleaners that effectively break down and remove odours.\nRegularly following these cleaning techniques can ensure a healthier and more inviting home environment.", "domain": "health"}

She (and I) had some basic experience with the Sivananda approach, but what she learned during her session with Anthony turned her on to a whole new style of doing yoga. She raved about the class, and so she and I signed up with Anthony for a 10-day intensive yoga course at Begnas Lake. Before starting, Anthony told us both that by the end of the course, we'd have our own practice that we could do without a teacher, anywhere, anytime, and be our own guides. I was skeptical that I'd emerge from the 10 days with my own program and ability to self-direct, but that's just what happened. We spent 10 amazing days at Begnas, got into great shape, learned a hell of a lot about yoga and our bodies, and continue to practice on our own at home. To anyone looking for an amazing, motivating, and caring teacher, I can't recommend Anthony highly enough. — G. Miller\nYOGA – AN EVER-EVOLVING TRANSFORMATION\nWhen I first started studying with Anthony, he told me that starting on the yoga path probably was the most important decision I would ever make. I initially regarded this as a rather dramatic exaggeration, but it didn’t take me long to realize the truth of it. Yoga has indeed changed my life, and it is like a universe that keeps unfolding.\nPhysically, yoga is like no other activity I have ever tried. I have a background in ballet and running, but I have never felt stronger, healthier or more flexible than I do now. And it just keeps evolving. The fact that there will always be new areas to uncover and develop – throughout my entire life – is both exciting and motivating.\nHowever, my most important discovery about yoga is the way in which it creates a bridge between body and mind. Yoga is often called ”a moving meditation,” and discovering the benefits of that has truly been a profound experience for me.While running partly functioned as a tool to take my mind off my feelings, yoga has raised my mindfulness. I have found the courage to observe both my feelings and my surroundings with greater awareness, and although this can be challenging and sometimes intimidating, it has made me a much calmer, happier and more content person.\nAn essential part of developing a yoga practice is finding the right teacher. I feel very privileged to be able to study with Anthony, both in classes and in private sessions. He is a highly skilled teacher, and his teaching methods allow students to develop their practice in an efficient and safe way. His approach is both caring and challenging, and it is easy to tell that he has a true passion for yoga and for helping people unfold their own potential.\n— Heidi Sævareid\nAnthony has really helped me to develop another dimension to my experience with yoga. In a pleasant and firm manner he has challenged my body and mind, far beyond what I thought I could handle. It has given me strength, stamina and happiness. I do not know what the next step will be, but it does not matter. Even after three years I am curiously looking forward to the next class.\nI would like to recommend training yoga with Anthony Scott. I have been a regular yoga student with him since September 2010. At that time I had practised yoga occasionally for some years, but not learned the basics properly. I therefore had to start over again. I have attended his classes at various locations, a primary series workshop and have had an individual session almost every week.\nAnthony has an in depth knowledge of yoga and is able to adjust the postures to everyone’s individual level rather than just demonstrate the full posture. I also appreciate the focus on strength and some efficient yoga fitness sessions as a supplement to the work with The Primary Series. Personally, I have had good improvement in upper body strength, hip flexibility and my general wellbeing.", "domain": "health"}

Many countries and cities are looking to explore new ways to address issues related to drug addiction and the criminal justice system.\nAs of January 31, 2023, British Columbia’s new drug decriminalization law will begin. It will essentially make possession of small amounts of certain illegal drugs for personal use no longer a criminal offence. Health Canada has granted this exemption under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act for three years until January 31, 2026.\nThe new law will be an important step in the fight against the toxic drug crisis that the province is facing. This will help reduce barriers and shame and assist people with obtaining support and services that could save their lives.\nIn this post, we will discuss how decriminalization will help reduce drug harms and provide a way for British Columbia to work towards ending the overdose crisis.\nWhat does the decriminalization of drugs mean?\nThe decriminalization of drugs is an alternative response to criminal penalties for simple possession.\nThis means that individuals who are found in possession of small amounts of certain drugs will not be charged with fines or imprisonment. They will instead be redirected to healthcare and support services that can help with their addiction and other related issues.\nAs of January 31, 2023, to January 31, 2026, the government of British Columbia will decriminalize the possession of certain illegal drugs for personal use without arrest, seizure, or charge.\nAdults with 2.5 grams or less of certain drugs for personal use will not be arrested or charged or have their drugs taken from them.\nThe illegal drugs in question are:\n- opioids, such as heroin, morphine, and fentanyl\n- crack and powder cocaine\nThe criminalization of drugs results in significant harm to people, particularly to those who are homeless, experiencing mental health issues, racialized, or Indigenous.\nThe government will instead offer help by giving information about where to access health and support services, including local recovery and treatment services.\nWhy did British Columbia decriminalize drugs?\nBritish Columbia is decriminalizing certain drugs to better help a vulnerable population.\nThe new law will shift the focus of the criminal justice system away from punishment and towards rehabilitation and harm reduction. The main goal is to reduce the amount of people who are incarcerated for drug offences and provide them with the support they need to overcome their addiction and improve their overall health and well-being.\nDecriminalization puts British Columbia in a better position to help people who use drugs seek the necessary treatment and begin to improve their quality of life and overall health.\nThe war on drugs still has a way to go. Some people fear that decriminalization may increase drug use or continue to encourage it, but that idea is not supported by evidence. There is proof from many countries and cities worldwide that decriminalized drugs do not increase use.\nBy eliminating a criminalized response to drug possession, British Columbia is hoping to take a stand in the fight against the toxic drug crisis the province is in. Decriminalizing small amounts of these drugs will hopefully help keep people alive and able to connect with life-saving support and other services available.\nWhy does the decriminalization of drugs work?\nThe reason why the decriminalization of drugs works is that it begins the necessary step in reducing fear and shame in people who use illicit substances.”Substance use is a public health issue, not a criminal one,” said Sheila Malcolmson, BC’s Minister of Mental Health and Addictions.\nEliminating the criminal penalties for the possession of 2.5 grams or less of illegal drugs in British Columbia removes the barriers that stop people from accessing harm reduction services or treatment programs available.\nThe decriminalization of drugs works by ensuring the province is working with a broad range of partners to implement this policy change. This will include the federal government, health authorities, Indigenous partners, law enforcement, and community organizations.\nFinding help for drug addiction in Vancouver, British Columbia\nBC is the first province to receive this exemption from Health Canada. This exemption is a first step in transforming its mental health and substance use services under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.\nThe decriminalization of drugs in Vancouver will allow individuals who want to seek treatment and recovery from drugs to access a variety of helpful services.\nThe surge in overdose deaths in Vancouver peaked during the COVID-19 pandemic. This exemption will be a very important step in how we look at addiction and drug use.\nA key component of the new law is the establishment of a community -based support services. These services will help individuals who are struggling with addiction to access the care and support they need to overcome their addiction and improve their overall health. This support could include counselling, therapy, medication-assisted treatment, or other basic needs such as housing and employment.\nSupport and compassion are essential for healing and treatment. For increasing access to health and social services for people who use drugs in Vancouver, BC, there is a range of services and resources for the healing journey:\n- Vancouver Coastal Health Substance Use Services\n- Ministry of Mental Health and Addictions\n- A Pathway to Hope\n- Addiction Rehab Vancouver\n- Together We Can – Addiction Recovery\nContact an experienced Criminal Lawyer\nThe decriminalization of drugs is a topic that our lawyers can help you to fully understand.

Transforming smiles with minimal interference to daily activities, Invisalign allows teens and adults to enjoy eating all of their favorite foods, and engage in sports without the fear of breaking their orthodontic appliances or sharp poking wires.\nThe Damon Bracket utilizes sliding door technology known as “self-ligation” that allows the wire to slide back and forth within the bracket. No elastic or steel ties are used with Damon brackets. This technology creates less friction and results in greater comfort for the patient. In addition, Damon braces often reduce both treatment time and the number of adjustments that are usually performed.\nThe most common type of braces seen today, remain “metal braces”. Made of high-grade stainless steel these braces are significantly smaller and have a lower profile than their predecessors from years ago. Each brace, which is known as an orthodontic bracket, is individually bonded to the front of each tooth.

While convenient, it is not ideal for our pets and can lead to problems with weight management, fecal consistency, dental health, skin health and more.\nSustainable Ingredients, Sustainable Business\nNot only are insects better for hedgehogs, they're better for the world!

But it also meant the start of an effective policy to contain the epidemic. The university hospital in Utrecht was a driving force for healthcare innovation.\nIn 1981 the first reports appeared about a terrible new disease among sexually very active gay men in the US. The disease was initially named Gay Related Immuno Deficiency / Grid. That same year the first Dutchman was diagnosed: Jan S., a sporty man from Amsterdam in the prime of his life. Two years later, in 1983, the virus was discovered that causes the horrific disease: HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and the disease was given its final name: AIDS (Aquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome). Then the first Dutch dead also fell. Almost 5,000 victims would follow until 2023.\nFear and panic\nBecause it was initially unknown how the disease was transmitted, there was enormous fear. HIV infected and AIDS patients were severely discriminated and excluded. The urgency to tackle the crisis became greater when it became clear that the virus was not picky and affected a large population. The death of American film star Rock Hudson in 1985, shocked the world. Later the world also mourned the death of graffiti artist Keith Haring (1990) and singer Freddy Mercury (1991) from the popular band Queen. Governments took all kinds of – sometimes panicky – measures to contain the epidemic in their country. The US and many other countries declared an entry ban for people with HIV.\nThe disease had a huge impact on the queer community in the world. Healthy young gay men were massively affected. Illness and death became part of daily existence. It was an epidemic roller coaster of new infections, sick persons and deaths. It became normal to attend funerals of friends several times a year.\nAlready as early as in 1982 the first three people from Utrecht were diagnosed, but for many, Manuel, the Portuguese bartender in cafe Body Talk was the first victim in Utrecht. The number of Utrecht victims quickly rose to 18 in 1987, but was limited compared to Amsterdam, where the number was almost ten times as high.\nUtrecht university hospital\nIn 1987 a newly formed specialized team treated AIDS patients in university hospital in Utrecht. Unlike in Amsterdam, there was no separate department, but the patients were treated in the department of Internal Medicine. That prevented that you were to be identified as an AIDS patient, a huge taboo.\nInternist Jan Borleffs and nurse Henk Vrehen formed the duo that started the care. Jan: “I felt that I could really mean something for patients. Although I couldn’t heal them, I tried to make it as pleasant as possible for them by treating the complications of HIV as well as possible and guiding patients in this phase. “Henk:” It was intensive work. I took it home, literally and figuratively. The patients called me, even in the evening and at the weekend. And the caseload was high. We saw around 200 patients a year in the 1990’s. It was work for 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. ” Jan and Henk each had a consultation hour. For the patient, the doctor was the practitioner that treated the complications of the disease and the nurse was the expert who you could consult on everything that was related to the disease.\nThe work did not only consist of direct patient care. Jan and Henk schooled their colleagues inside and outside their hospital in dealing with infection risk and stigma. They visited the HIV cafe to provide the target group with the latest information. They participated in the countless scientific studies into HIV and AIDS. When the group of HIV patients increased sharply in the early 1990s, doctors and nurses were added.\nThe patient first\nPeople with AIDS made an important contribution to the renewal of care. The predominantly young patients had different wishes than traditional care could offer. They therefore searched for and created alternatives. The doctor no longer determined what was good. The wishes of the patient were the starting point.\nIn 1984 Schorer Foundation (Homosexuality & Health) started buddy care for AIDS patients, following an example from San Francisco. A year later, Mainline Foundation (Drugs and Health) started with syringe exchange for drug users so that the virus could not be spread through dirty syringes. In 1992, an Amstelveen church community took the initiative to the first hospice in the Netherlands, especially for Aids victims in Amsterdam.\nHenk and Jan put the wishes of the patients at the center of their care. The patients challenged Jan and Henk to look at “good care” in a new way. If the patient wanted it, they moved hospital care to the home situation. By lack of professionals able to care for the patient at home, Henk and Jan instructed caregivers to administer complex medication at home. Thus preventing a long stay in the hospital for the patient.\nMany of the innovations invented during the AIDS epidemic have become the standard treatment and have improved healthcare. Hospitals now have nursing specialists who help patients live with their illness. Home care now uses modern technologies that were previously reserved for the hospital. There is now buddy care for people who have become lonely due to all kinds of diseases. The hospice has become a valued part of palliative care.\nAIDS also caused a more personal handling of death: new rituals and ways of dying, mourning and commemorating. Such as the AIDS Memorial Quilt, where AIDS victims are commemorated with personal flags that together form a gigantic blanket.\nNational program for fighting AIDS\nWhen it became clear in 1987 that AIDS could take on epidemic forms, the government installed a national committee to combat AIDS and launched the first public campaign. One of the spearheads was stimulating safe sex with a condom. That was new, especially for gay men.\nThe committee worked closely together with (gay) interest groups from the start, and in doing so, was better able to realize the desired behavioral changes. As a result, the epidemic in the Netherlands was relatively limited.\nIn the meantime, the queer movement fought against discrimination of AIDS victims and organized itself in action groups. The best known was Actup (AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power) that started in New York City in 1987 and still exists in 2023. Amsterdam (1991-1997) and Utrecht (1991-1997) had their own modest branch for a short time.\nIn the fight against stigma, a national TV broadcast on November 28, 1992 became famous. There, presenter Paul de Leeuw, with the seriously ill singer René Klein, sang a song intimately together. ” The whole of country was moved. René died a year later and the song became a number 1 hit.\nAIDS in numbers\nIn the Netherlands, the number of infected persons increased every year, to a peak of nearly 1400 new infections in 2008. After that the number decreased to around 400 in 2021. The number of AIDS deaths reached a peak of more than 400 in 1995 and decreased after the Introduction of a new combination therapy (HAART). In 2021, 13 people died of AIDS.\nExactly how many people from Utrecht died of the effects of AIDS can no longer be traced, but there must have been hundreds. But in this century, it is rare that someone dies of the effects of AIDS. In the Utrecht region lived an estimated 1,400 people with HIV in 2022. Apart from the 100 that do not know they are HIV positive, nearly all people are treated and therefore cannot spread the virus.\nAIDS brought the world an impressive medical progress. The disease changed from a fatal disorder that kills you within a short time to a treatable chronic illness with which you can lead a normal life in. This happened in a timescale of 15 years, unique in the world of infectious diseases. But despite the medical progress AIDS is still a huge worldwide problem. Forty million people have already died of AIDS and another forty million people live with an HIV infection. That number rises annually with 1.5 million. Due to discrimination, exclusion and poverty, a quarter of these infected people receive no treatment. As a result, more than half a million people die from the effects of AIDS every year. UNAIDS, the AIDS department of the United Nations, strives for an end of the epidemic in 2030.\nEvert van der Veen", "domain": "health"}

Honey, nature’s golden liquid, has been treasured for centuries for its unique taste and numerous health benefits. From the delicate floral notes of lavender honey to the rich and robust flavor of buckwheat honey, there is a variety to suit every palate. Join us as we delve into the sweet world of honey and uncover its diverse uses in cooking, medicine, and beauty.\nEach honey variety has its own distinct flavor profile, color, and texture, making it a versatile ingredient in the kitchen.

Known for its anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, honey has been used as a natural remedy for centuries.

Additionally, honey is a popular ingredient in skincare products, known for its moisturizing and rejuvenating properties. Explore the world of honey and discover the many ways it can enhance your well-being both inside and out.\nThe Science Behind Honey Production\nHoney production is a fascinating process that combines the ingenuity of bees and the power of nature. This sweet golden liquid is not only a delicious treat but also an incredible feat of science. Bees, known for their complex social structure, play a crucial role in the production of honey. They collect nectar from flowers, convert it into honey, and store it in their hives as a food source. Understanding the intricate process behind honey production unveils a world of science that is as awe-inspiring as it is delicious.\nThe science behind honey production starts with the foraging behavior of bees. Bees collect nectar from flowers using their long proboscis, a straw-like tongue, and store it in their honey stomach. Once the bees return to the hive, they pass the nectar to other worker bees through a process called trophallaxis. During this exchange, enzymes are added to the nectar, which starts the process of breaking down complex sugars into simpler sugars. This enzymatic activity, combined with the bees’ body heat, helps reduce the water content of the nectar, transforming it into honey. The bees then deposit the honey into hexagonal wax cells within the hive, where it further dehydrates through evaporation. The end result is a viscous, sweet liquid with antimicrobial properties that can be stored for long periods.", "domain": "health"}

Two popular options for teeth alignment are Invisalign and braces. Each method has its unique features, benefits, and considerations. Learning the differences between Invisalign and braces can help you make an informed decision regarding your treatment.\nOne of the primary concerns for individuals seeking orthodontic treatment is the appearance of the appliance. Traditional braces consist of metal brackets and wires that are noticeable when you smile. Alternatively, Invisalign offers a more discreet option. These clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for those who wish to undergo treatment without drawing unnecessary attention. This factor is especially significant for adults or professionals seeking a more inconspicuous orthodontic solution.\nBraces and Invisalign follow different treatment processes. With traditional braces, orthodontists affix brackets to the teeth and connect them with wires. These wires are adjusted periodically to apply gentle pressure, gradually shifting the teeth into their desired position over time. In contrast, Invisalign treatment involves a series of removable clear aligners that are custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly. Every set of aligners is worn for approximately two weeks before being replaced with a new set, progressively guiding your teeth toward their ideal alignment.\nComfort is a crucial consideration when choosing your orthodontic treatment. Braces can cause discomfort due to the presence of brackets and wires, which may rub against the inside of the mouth and cause soreness. On the other hand, Invisalign aligners are made from smooth plastic, reducing the likelihood of irritation. Additionally, since Invisalign aligners are removable, they can be taken out during meals, allowing for more comfortable eating experiences. When it comes to maintenance, braces require diligent cleaning to remove food particles that get trapped in the wires and brackets. However, Invisalign aligners promote better oral hygiene because you can easily remove them for brushing and flossing.\nThe length of time required for braces or Invisalign treatment may vary based on individual needs, the severity of the orthodontic issues, and patient compliance with the prescribed treatment plan. In general, traditional braces often require a longer treatment period, typically ranging from 18 months to 3 years, as they offer precise control over tooth movement. Invisalign treatment typically takes around 12 to 18 months for most patients, thanks to its innovative approach of using a series of aligners to gradually shift the teeth.\nBoth braces and Invisalign can effectively address a wide range of orthodontic issues, including overcrowding, gaps between teeth, misalignment, and bite problems. However, in certain complex cases, traditional braces may offer more strict control over tooth movement. An orthodontist in New Jersey will carefully evaluate your specific needs and recommend the most suitable treatment option based on the severity of your condition.\nLifestyle factors can influence your choice between Invisalign and braces. For individuals involved in contact sports or activities that carry a higher risk of facial injuries, braces may be recommended because they provide additional protection for the teeth. In contrast, Invisalign aligners can be removed during these activities to minimize the risk of injury. Additionally, the ability to remove Invisalign aligners allows for more flexibility in dietary choices, as there are no restrictions on the types of food that can be consumed.\nThe cost of orthodontic treatment is a significant consideration for many individuals. Traditional braces are often the more affordable option, as they have been in use for a longer time and have a well-established pricing structure. Invisalign treatment tends to be slightly more expensive due to its advanced technology and customization. It is essential to consult your orthodontist and inquire about insurance coverage and financing options, as they can greatly impact the overall cost of treatment.\nChoosing between Invisalign and braces requires careful consideration of various factors, including appearance, treatment process, comfort, maintenance, duration, effectiveness, lifestyle considerations, and cost. Consulting an experienced orthodontist will help you make a decision tailored to your specific needs. Whether you opt for Invisalign or braces, the end goal is to achieve a beautifully aligned smile and improve your oral health.", "domain": "health"}

Abbott, D.D.S.\nThe following is the final installment of a three-part series addressing oral health concerns that ideally should be addressed before, during, and after cancer treatment. This segment focuses on oral health care needs after cancer treatment.\nTo say a battle with cancer changes one’s life is perhaps one of the most profound understatements ever made! Few experiences leave their indelible mark on health, relationships, and spirituality as deeply as cancer. From the moment the diagnosis is verbalized by the physician, lives are changed forever…the life of the patient, the lives of family and friends, the lives of those not even yet born who will benefit from the lessons learned from the care given. There is little argument to be made - cancer changes lives!\nPeople who have met cancer face-to-face understand that the disease expects much and adaptations in daily life must be made to meet those demands. So it is with the oral health of the survivors. Truly, there is still much to learn with regard to cancer survivorship in many areas of health care, and dentistry is no different. There are, however, tenets of care that must be followed for the cancer survivor. Some of these simply make life more pleasant; others are fundamental courses of care to which the patients must strictly adhere.\nTo the cancer survivor, I would say…because your experience with cancer has been a personal journey, there is no single adage that applies to all. There are, however, recommendations that are applicable to most. Always consult with your dentist or dental oncologist to customize a continuing care plan that is suited for your needs. Do not be afraid to begin a dialogue with your oral health care provider. Let him or her understand what is working for you, and what isn’t. Together, you and your dental oncologist can develop a regimen that is tailored to your needs and helps ensure your prolonged oral health as you live life as a survivor.\nDental Care Following Chemotherapy\nBecause many of the direct cytotoxic effects of chemotherapy subside after infusions have ended, much of the oral health care recommendations directed towards the post-chemotherapy patient focus on dealing with possible lingering side effects. Granted, the severity of enduring complications is usually contingent on the specific chemotherapeutic agents used, their dose, and the duration of treatment. Usually, however, the patient who has completed chemotherapy will notice a return to normal in the oral cavity. Dysgeusia (abnormal taste) and dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing) most often resolve without further intervention from the dentist. As white cells and platelets recover, mucositis is usually no longer an issue.\nXerostomia, or dry mouth, can continue to be a problem for many treated with chemotherapy alone, especially if medication for comorbidities continue after chemo has concluded. As long as the salivary flow is reduced, as determined by either a “feeling” of dry mouth or quantitative analysis by a dentist or dental oncologist, the xerostomic patient should commit to a professional dental cleaning and recall visit every three months. Dry mouth can lead to dental complications including rampant caries, periodontal disease, and oral infections. This condition should continue to be monitored and managed until normal salivary flow has returned and the patient has demonstrated a proficiency in home care that reduces the risk of extensive generalized decay.\nDuring times of xerostomia, caries control is paramount. In some cases, it may be necessary to place the patient on microbial reduction therapy. The level of streptococci mutans can be reduced below a pathological level for three to six months by instructing the patient to use aqueous chlorhexidine gluconate 0.12% as an oral rinse: 1/2 oz. twice a day for two weeks. (This timeframe of bacterial load reduction has only been demonstrated in non-cancer patients. Patients battling cancer should continue using aqueous chlorhexidine gluconate on an ongoing basis and should be closely monitored if the oral rinse is reduce or discontinued as rapid recolonization has been documented in this population.) Similarly, the regular application of fluoride should be considered as long as patient remains at-risk for rampant caries.*\n- Detailed instructions for fluoride application can be found in the second installment of this series.\nDental and Oral Health Care Following Head and Neck Radiation\nDental care following head and neck radiation is perhaps one of the most complicated areas of dental oncology as many of the side effects of radiotherapy linger for the remainder of the patient’s life. As is the case during treatment, it is imperative that the dental professional be thoroughly familiar with the dose of radiation the patient has received. An isodose map showing dosage according to anatomical structures must be considered prior to treatment planning for dental and oral health care following radiation. While most radiation therapy is now administered by intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), some patients may have received treatment through a fixed beam of conventional radiation therapy or brachytherapy, which involves insertion of radioactive wires directly into the tumor. The dental professional must be familiar with not only the cumulative dose and the structures involved, but also with the radiation modality and the treatment schedule.\nPerhaps one of the post-radiation risks most familiar to dental professionals is that of osteoradionecrosis (ORN). ORN is a late side effect of radiation where damage to the small blood vessels in the mandible, and more rarely the maxilla, impairs the bone’s ability to heal. Those who have received brachytherapy are particularly at-risk for developing this condition. Typically, ORN is not seen within the first year following treatment and the risk of ORN increases with time. Most often, bone necrosis of the jaw in the head and neck cancer survivor follows a traumatic event, such as an extraction or dental surgery; however, spontaneous exposure and necrosis of the bone - especially in the posterior mylohyoid ridge - has been reported. Although it can occur after lower doses, ORN usually occurs with doses greater than 60 Gy. All future oral health care treatment planning must consider radiation exposure to the bony structures of the face to minimize the risk for ORN.\nBecause of the risk of ORN, endodontic therapy should be considered as a viable treatment option for carious lesions with pulpal involvement. Root banking may be necessary when insufficient tooth structure remains supragingivally. For carious lesions, fluoridated glass ionomer is the restorative material of choice for the cancer survivor.\nExposure of the salivary glands to therapeutic radiation causes atrophy of the secretory cells resulting in xerostomia, the severity of which is related to the cumulative dose. Doses as low as 25 Gy can result in dry mouth. Although IMRT has reduced much of the widespread damage to the salivary glands seen in conventional radiation therapy, xerostomia continues to be the most widespread complication seen in head and neck radiation patients. The dental professional treating patients with a history of head and neck radiation should realize that long-term survivors who experienced conventional fixed beam radiation may present with more severe xerostomia that is a permanent side effect of their treatment.\nNot only does ionizing radiation affect the function of the secretory cells in the glands, it also changes the composition of the saliva when some salivary function is retained. Serous glands are impaired much more readily than mucous glands. The result is a saliva that is much more viscous and acidic and lacks much of the protective qualities normally seen. Clinically, the patient may experience impaired remineralization capacity, taste alteration and difficulty swallowing, difficulties in mastication and speech, and decreased protection against microbes. These in addition to the increased propensity for dental caries makes xerostomia a side effect that cannot be ignored. Unfortunately for some head and neck cancer survivors, the damage of the salivary glands is permanent. These patients require close monitoring by the dental professional and should follow the guidelines for the post-chemotherapy patient as outlined above.\nFungal infections are more prevalent in this population, and the dentist or dental oncologist must be comfortable diagnosing and treating these conditions should they arise. When treating a Candida infection, both the patient and the denture should be treated, when applicable. Fluconazole 100 mg, twice a day, is an effective means of treating a yeast infection in the patient that can be used long term, if necessary. Nystatin suspension is not recommended due to its high sugar content. Alternatively, clotrimazole 10 mg troches, five times per day for two weeks, or mycostatin 200 mg oral pastilles, four times per day for two weeks, can be used. Dentures can be treated using bleach diluted in water (2 teaspoons per 1 cup water) for 30 minutes each day.\nBeyond the teeth and oral mucosal tissues, many lingering side effects often plague the head and neck survivor. Permanent taste loss can occur at a dose of 60 Gy or higher. In lower doses, taste loss is often temporary although it may take several months to fully recover. Decreased salivary flow can cause taste alteration as can damage done by mucositis. Chemoreceptors on the tongue can take months to years to return to normal function if they have been affected by mucosal ulceration. Trismus can cause limited opening for three to six months following radiation therapy. Caused by contraction of the muscles of mastication and the TMJ capsule, trismus can occur with an unpredictable frequency and severity. Physical therapy (opening the mouth to maximum and closing 20 times, three times per day) can bring some relief and improve opening, but this condition must be considered when planning treatment and formulating an at-home oral hygiene regimen.\nLong-term head and neck cancer survivors may also experience occlusion of the carotid arteries. Consideration must be given to this fact when using dental anesthetics with epinephrine. The dentist or dental oncologist should be familiar with signs and symptoms of a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke and monitor these patients closely for signs of distress during dental procedures. Sometimes, head and neck survivors suffer degeneration of cervical vertebrae and may experience fatigue with minimal exertion. Fibrosis of the musculature in the radiation field may yield unusual results in head and neck examinations. Careful observation must be made during oral cancer screenings and head and neck examinations as “normal” may feel different to the dental professional examining the patient. For patients who have just completed treatment, radiation burns may still exist on the skin. Even long-term, a patient may complain of the tissue that was in the field of radiation as feeling “hot.”\nThe dental professional should be prepared to help the head and neck patient understand that many of these changes will affect the way he or she is accustomed to eating. The patient should avoid sharp or crunchy foods that can cause mucosal damage, hot and spicy foods, foods that are highly acidic, foods that are sticky or highly cariogenic, and drinks that contain alcohol. Patients should choose foods that are easy to chew and swallow, learn to take small bites and chew slowly, and sip liquids with meals. While many of these changes were necessary during treatment, most will need to continue these practices for several months following the completion of radiation therapy. When necessary, the dental professional should be ready to refer the patient to a registered dietician or professional nutrition therapist.\nOther Post-Treatment Oral Health Care Considerations\nPatients who have received bisphosphonate therapy via an intravenous route of administration are at risk for developing bisphosophonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ). Medications used to treat metastatic disease in the bone include Zometa (zoledronic acid), Aredia (pamidronate), and Xgeva (denosumab). It is believed that the risk of developing BRONJ is directly related to the dose and duration of the bisphosphonate therapy. While the specific etiology of BRONJ is not fully understood, the dental professional treating patients with a history of bisphosphonate therapy should understand the risks associated with these medications and care for the patient in a manner similar to patients at risk for ORN. Since the half-life of some of these medications is in excess of ten years, a history of bisphosphonate therapy should be considered for all future oral health care planning in these patients.\nPatients who are post-transplant, either for bone marrow or hematopoietic stem cells, are at high-risk for infection due to continued immunosuppression. In addition to bacterial and fungal infections, these patients are susceptible to viral infections including herpes simplex virus type 1, herpes varicella zoster virus, and cytomegalovirus. Moreover, these patients are at-risk for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and other autoimmune problems. GHVD and autoimmune issues can be very complicated. The dental professional seeing these patients should seek out continued education related to the specific care of autoimmune patients or refer to a dental oncologist experienced in their care.\nCaring for patients before, during, or after their fight with cancer can be the most rewarding experience of a lifetime. More dental professionals are needed to commit to meeting the unique dental and oral health care needs of patients battling cancer. As the epidemiological forecasts continue to predict an increase in the number of new cancer cases as well as an increase in the population of survivors, now is the time for dental professionals to become part of a cancer care team. You can make a difference!\nDental Oncology Professionals of North Texas\nNews Feed: dentaloncology.tumblr.com/rss\nDennis M.

Over the following 21 years the number of gardens participating increased and the Festival was extended to nine days, covering two weekends and the intervening weekdays. Additional attractions are now also offered to visitors, including art in the gardens and music in the gardens.\nIn the first 21 years of the Festival over $250,000 was raised and used to purchase hospital medical equipment and to improve hospital amenities. In the following 7 years between 1986 and 1993 a further $500,000 was raised. This money was spent to equip and furnish a high-dependency unit and two palliative care suites.\nBetween 1993 and 2001 the committee paid much of the cost of the new paediatric unit and paid for new endoscopic equipment, a state-of-the-art anaesthetic machine complete with monitoring units, a gastroscope and other invaluable equipment. Other purchases in these years included stress testing equipment, a ventilator for the high-dependency unit, a retinal camera and physiotherapy equipment, in all amounting to several hundred thousand dollars.\nIn 2002 the Festival purchased telemetric monitoring equipment, enabling patients to walk around the hospital having their vital signs monitored without being hooked up to cables.\nIn 2003 the Festival purchased a high-resolution screen monitor for the virtual critical care unit. This enables staff at Katoomba to consult with their colleagues at Nepean teaching hospital. The link immediately conveys high quality pictures, sounds and data allowing speed diagnosis and treatment.\nIn 2004 thirty electric beds were purchased, increasing the independence and comfort of patients by allowing adjustments by way of finger controls. The beds also save nurses' backs when lifting patients.\nIn 2005/6 money was spent on the refurbishment of the East Wing and a range of general equipment including portable vital signs monitors, wheelchairs, a labour ward bed and space lab monitors.\nBetween 2007 and 2009, a total of $247,000 was spent on a wide range of equipment, and towards the cost of the relocation of the Cardiac Rehabilitation and Chronic Airways departments of the hospital. Equipment purchased included resuscitation beds, a cardiotocograph, spacelab monitors, a labour ward bed, wheelchairs, and a paediatric cot.\nIn 2009 a donation of $6690 was also made to the Blue Mountains Cancer Help to fund advanced training for physiotherapy staff.\nIn 2010 the Festival committee approved a total expenditure of $110,000 on a range of items identified as priority items by the hospital. Principal items included four cardiac monitors, a video laryngoscope, a foetal monitor and two electric beds.\nIn 2011, a donation of nearly $96000 was made to the hospital for the purchase of medical equipment for physiotherapy, education, the east wing, the operating theatres and the A&E department. In addition, three local health-related charities each received $3000. They were, Blue Mountains Health Trust, Can Assist and Blue Mountains Cancer Help.\nIn excess of $100,000 was raised during Festival 2012, most of which assisted in the purchase of medical equipment for the Blue Mountains District Anzac Memorial Hospital. In keeping with Festival policy to assist other Blue Mountains Health related charities, donations were also made to The Blue Mountains Health Trust and Cancer Help.\nIn 2013, $112,000 was raised bringing the total funds raised by the Festival to the amazing figure of $2 million. Equipment purchased from festival funds included a humidicrib; special beds and a bed mover; significant upgrades to the cardiac and respiratory rehabilitation unit; and ECG equipment.\n2014 – the Festival’s 50th anniversary year – was an amazing success, with around $150,000 made available to the hospital. This money is being put towards the upgrading and refurbishment of the East Wing and the establishment of an area for some new and much needed outpatient clinics. As a result of the 2014 success, donations were also made to Blue Mountains Cancer Help, Blue Mountains Health Trust and Can Assist.\nAs always, the success of the Festival is down to the garden owners and the hundreds of volunteers who freely give of their time and resources over the nine days of the Festival.", "domain": "health"}

No doubt, when we are in the high moments we can often appreciate these experiences whole hardily; however, it can be much harder to cope with the negative feelings, thoughts, and behaviours that sometimes accompany our low moments. Instead, we can become absorbed in our negative emotions about ourselves and our relationships – and we may find ourselves increasingly anxious, depressed, and struggling to feel better. During these moments, you may feel even worse if you are experiencing feelings of loneliness or isolation. In seeking help from a therapist, you have taken an important and admirable first step towards learning more about yourself and your relationships. You do not have to work through these difficult times alone.\nI offer you a warm welcome on your journey towards better mental health.\nIn my clinical practice, I work with individual and couple clients who are experiencing a diverse range of emotional, self, identity and relationship struggles. Specifically, I am interested in and have experience working with clients who are struggling with emotional distress related to anxiety, stress, anger, depression and grief. Processing difficult emotions can be challenging; however, with appropriate guidance in therapy, I can help you to get at the emotional roots of your distress as well as help you to become in touch with the concerns, goals and needs that underlie your experiences. I work with clients to address issues related to self (i.e., self-esteem, confidence) and identity (i.e., sexuality, sexual orientation, gender, relationship diversity). Moreover, I work with clients who have faced attachment trauma or traumatic experiences (i.e., childhood or present day emotional deprivation, or childhood or present-day emotional, physical or sexual abuse) that have altered their sense of self, others and the world around them.\nIn my individual work…\nI will work collaboratively with you to identify the goals and concerns you would like to address in therapy. I provide all my clients with a non-judging, open, warm and supportive environment to ensure that you feel emotionally safe to explore your feelings, thoughts, behaviours and/or relationships. To ensure that I understand your experiences, I will conduct a comprehensive and scientifically validated assessment to gather information about how your thoughts, feelings, behaviours and interpersonal style might be contributing to your current challenges. As an integrative psychotherapist, I will also utilize supported treatment approaches (i.e., psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural, dialectical behavioural, mindfulness-based, narrative, emotionally-focused, family systems) to help you address your distressful thoughts, emotions, behaviour and relationship concerns. Incorporating these different treatment modalities allows me to work with you in different ways based on your unique needs.\nIn my couple and relationship work…\nI will coach both of you to build stronger emotional communication skills as well as help your relationship manage conflicts and improve communication and negotiation skills concerning finances, parenting, and in-law difficulties. I can also support both partners in learning to become more physically intimate, help you work through any sexual issues that you are currently facing (i.e., arousal, desire, orgasm problems), and offer support for partners to work through relational hurts and betrayals (i.e., infidelities, absence of emotional support in time of need). Finally, I can also help navigate and support couples who decide to ‘open up’ their relationship by helping you construct a non-monogamous, open, or polyamorous relationship/network.\nProfessionally, I draw from a rich background of experience within the mental health field, including both clinical and research positions. I began my journey in the mental health field working with clients in crisis at the Distress Centre in Ottawa, Ontario. In this role I was directly responsible for the wellbeing of individuals who were experiencing distress and suicidal ideation. I have also conducted research in the area of couple relationships at the Couples Research Laboratory (University of Ottawa) aiding in research on LGBTQ couples and intimate partner violence. Lastly, over the past several years, I have gained experience at Saint Paul University’s Counseling Centre and CFIR’s Ottawa location. At these two settings, I worked with clients experiencing a wide range of issues, including diagnosable disorders, and other psychological issues, as well as couple clients from diverse backgrounds. These settings provided me with experience, skills, and the theoretical foundation to provide therapy to a diverse range of clients.\nI am currently registered with the College of Psychotherapist of Ontario and have received a Master of Arts Degree in Counselling (Couples & Family Specialization) from the University of Ottawa (Saint Paul University).

As a result, one is not only weakened, but could actually be reducing their chances of survival.\nIn taking a more natural approach to fighting cancer, you can do the following:\n- Look at meditation – If you’ve never been one to meditate up to now, is it time you try it? Meditation can do wonders from both a physical and mental aspect. As you look to build up your immune system, you also want to have a positive attitude moving ahead. By meditating and doing other related therapies, you could be at more peace. Doing so could give you the upper-hand.\n- Relieve the stress – Are you someone who seems to stress over the smallest of things? If the answer is yes, that is not going to help you in your battle with cancer. Do all you can to remove the stress sensors in your life. One of the more common ones is work. If you find that your job is stressing you out, see how you can lower the stress level. It may mean finding another job at the end of the day. Another stress issue can be finances. If money has you too stressed out, look to see how you can change that. It may very well correlate with your job situation. If you do not have enough money coming in to handle your bills etc. try to change that. No matter how you go about reducing stress, your body will appreciate it. As part of that appreciation, it will in all hopes lead to fewer sleepless nights.\n- Positive attitude – Last, do you have a positive attitude? Unfortunately, too many people would have to say no to that question. With a positive attitude in-hand, you are able to stand taller against cancer. Look for the positive things in your life and not focus on the negative. As an example, do you have a child who has a wedding down the road? What about an anniversary you want to celebrate with your significant other in a few years? By having special times and dates to look forward to, you will be more inclined to keep fighting cancer.\nIn doing all you can to be in control, make sure you find the treatment program best suited to your needs.\nAt the end of the day, you have to decide what is best for you.", "domain": "health"}

What is the secret of popularity and how did the drug migrate from medicine to sports pharmacology? To answer these and other questions of interest to bodybuilders, it is necessary to analyze what kind of drug it is, how it is taken correctly. It is also worth comparing the effectiveness of the drug with Tamoxifen, since the drugs are similar in their action.\nThe use of Clomid in bodybuilding on a course of steroids\nClomid is characterized by a powerful antiestrogenic effect, therefore it is actively used by bodybuilders on a course of steroids. It blocks the receptors of the female sex hormone, prevents its action. This helps prevent gynecomastia.\nAccording to experts, for professionals who take steroids frequently and in high doses, it is difficult to protect against the side effects associated with conversion to estrogen with Clomid. In this case, it is not effective enough. Experienced athletes are better off taking aromatase inhibitors that suppress estrogen production. This is the most effective way to counter the manifestation of side effects.\nIf we talk about fluid retention in the body, Clomid slightly interferes with this process. But its effectiveness in this direction is insufficient. The drug does not reduce the concentration of estrogen in the blood, but only blocks estrogen receptors. It is worth considering that with the issue of fluid retention in the body, it is worth contacting nutritionists more often, and not resorting to pharmacological agents. Keeps it can, for example, an excess of carbohydrates in the diet. The effect is further enhanced by the intake of anabolic steroids.\nClomid on the AAS course allows you to prevent such a side effect as gynecomastia, but it will not cope with water retention in the body.\nSee also about most reviews of Clomid\nIn bodybuilding after a course of steroids on PCT\nThe main use of Clomid in bodybuilding is for PCT. The fact is that after a course of anabolic steroids, the production of testosterone decreases. The degree of suppression is determined by the type of anabolics and their doses. After the end of the course, the process of synthesis of the male hormone begins to improve. But it is very slow – in some cases it can last up to a year. And the consequences of low testosterone manifest themselves from the negative side. Elevated levels of the catabolic hormone cortisol. Under its influence, fat mass is gained and muscle mass actively begins to break down.\nWith the help of pharmacological agents, it is possible to accelerate the process of restoring the synthesis of endogenous testosterone. For this purpose, PCT is being developed, which in most cases involves taking Clomid or Tamoxifen, as well as the peptide hormone – hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). What is the action of Clomid? In stimulating the release of gonadotropins. They, in turn, contribute to the synthesis of endogenous testosterone.\nPCT is carried out if the bridge between steroid courses is more than 8 weeks. Otherwise, it is not recommended. PCT is also not performed if testosterone is administered between AAS cycles, as is common in hardcore athletes. Clomid on PCT is used to accelerate the restoration of natural testosterone synthesis.\nEfficacy of Clomid for testosterone recovery: scientific studies\nThere is scientific evidence for the fact that Clomid is effective in the process of producing the male hormone. Various studies have been carried out:\n- men aged 18-55 years took Clomiphene citrate for 2 weeks. In most of the participants in the experiment, testosterone levels increased by about two times. But there were also cases when, after 2 weeks and a month, a sharp decrease was observed;\n- 125 men diagnosed with low male hormone levels (less than 400 ng/dl) and reduced libido took Clomid for 3 months. As a result, the concentration of testosterone increased by about two times. At the same time, the cholesterol level did not change, undesirable effects did not appear in any participant in the experiment.\nLong-term studies have also been conducted in men with low testosterone levels. Within a year, its average concentration rose from 228 ng/dl to 612 ng/dl. Over the next year, the figures were already 562 ng / dl. By the end of the 3rd year of the study, they had risen to 582 ng/dl. No side effects were observed. Clomid has also shown to be effective in increasing libido in men with hypogonadism and erectile dysfunction. According to scientific studies, Clomid effectively increases the level of endogenous testosterone – an average of 2 times, regardless of the duration of admission (2 weeks or several years).\nWhat are the side effects in bodybuilders when taking Clomid\nClomid is mild. It is well tolerated and does not cause undesirable effects in female or male athletes, which has been confirmed by scientific studies. But some side effects are still possible. Women who treat infertility with the drug note the manifestation of one of these side effects: irritability, mood swings, depression, fluid retention in the body. Other side effects are also possible:\n- chest discomfort;\nThe use of Clomid may be accompanied by vision problems – manifestations of clouding and blurring. In this case, you need to stop taking the drug. More often, after its cancellation, vision is restored. But there are cases where this did not happen. Possible reasons for this action are long-term use of the drug and exceeding the recommended dosages.\nStudies conducted on pregnant rats have shown that as a result of taking Clomiphene citrate, multiple reproductive disorders in mothers and their offspring are possible.\nThere is a possibility that exposure to Clomid provokes a decrease in bone density.\nDoes Clomid cause cancer? There is no scientific evidence for such a relationship. Even with long-term use, no effect of Clomiphene citrate on the formation of cancer cells has been identified. It should be borne in mind that all studies were conducted on women in the treatment of infertility, and not on athletes who resort to the help of pharmacology.\nClomid is considered a relatively safe drug for bodybuilders. Its use can provoke visual impairment and a decrease in bone density. Even long-term use of an antiestrogen does not increase the likelihood of developing cancer.", "domain": "health"}

It is of benefit to you to have part or the whole of that toenail removed. This will relieve the pain. A nail surgery procedure will remove permanently part of or the entire toenail.\nWhat is Nail Surgery?\nIn order to remove any nail, you will need to have a local anaesthetic. This numbs the toe so that you will not feel pain. It is important to let the podiatrist know if you have had any previous reactions to local anaesthetics. Once the toenail is removed, a chemical called 80% Liquefied Phenol is applied. This destroys the growth part of the nail. After the procedure a sterile dressing is applied. We ask you to leave this dressing on for 48 hours. Y ou will be given a leaflet called After Y ou Have Had Nail Surgery which contains all the instructions we would like you to follow to care for your wound in the early days between appointments. It is important to look after your toe, which will mean applying dressings for a few weeks until the toe is healed.\nIs There a Waiting List For Surgery?\nNo, there isn’ t. We treat this procedure as urgent and will arrange your appointment within a few days of recommendation.\nPoints to Consider\n• The procedure is carried out at InStep Foot Clinic, in Wansford so there is no hospital stay.\n• The nail surgery procedure takes about one hour.\n• Bring open toe sandals or roomy slippers to go home in after your procedure because your toe(s) will have on bulky dressing.\n• Whilst the toe is still numb take care not to injure it, e.g. by stubbing your toe or wearing a tight shoe.\n• We would advise that you do not drive after the procedure due to the effects of the local anaesthetic . You may drive once the numbness has worn off completely.\n• The local anaesthetic injection you will be given is not expected to have any unwanted side effects. The effects should wear off after a few hours. But, there are risks to having a local anaesthetic. Although extremely rare, there is a possibility that you may have an extreme reaction, known as anaph ylaxis . Your Podiatrist has been trained to deal with this.\n• When you are considering the procedure, there may be other ways of dealing with this nail problem and you should ask your Podiatrist. If you have any queries or concerns about nail surgery, you should discuss these with your Podiatrist.\nDo I need a letter from my GP?\nNo, you can refer yourself for Nail Surgery.\nWhat Can Happen After Surgery?\nYou may experience mild discomfort after surgery, so we would advise that you take appropriate pain relief. Rarely, an infection may occur, in which case we would advise a prescription for antibiotics from your GP . There is also a very small possibility (less than 1%) that all or part of your nail may re-grow. If any part of the nail re-grows, we will repeat the surgery free of charge.\nThe healing time is variable according to how fast you heal. In any case this should not exceed six weeks. Following the Podiatrist’ s instructions closely, keeping the toe clean dry and dressed helps to speed your healing process and recovery.\nHow Much Does Nail Surgery Cost\nThe fee for our Nail Surgery Package is £500.00. This includes the following:\n• Initial Assessment to ensure suitability\n• Local Anaesthetic & Surgery\n• One week post-op review appointment\n• Three week post-op review appointment\n• Six week post-op review appointment\n• All dressing required for 6 weeks\nSome Health Insurance companies cover Nail Surgery . Please check with your insurance company before proceeding with treatment.\nN.B. Payment is entirely your responsibility.", "domain": "health"}

Ultrasound imaging enhances the emergency provider’s ability to evaluate, diagnose and treat emergency department patients. Because ultrasound imaging is often time-dependent in the acutely ill or injured patient, the emergency physician is in an ideal position to use this technology to advance patient care and safety. Focused ultrasound examinations provide immediate information and can answer specific questions about the patient’s physical condition. The American College of Physicians (ACEP) and the Society of Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) believe that ultrasound imaging is within the scope of practice of emergency physicians and endorses training in bedside emergency ultrasound within residency training\nThe Los Angeles County+USC Medical Center Emergency Medicine Residency puts a strong emphasis on ultrasound training throughout the four-year program. Residents receive ultrasound instruction through lectures and extensive hands-on training in bedside ultrasound. By the time of graduation, residents will have completed an extensive curriculum covering all basic and many advanced applications in emergency bedside ultrasound as outlined by published ACEP training guidelines. Completion of this curriculum will lead to a letter of successful emergency ultrasound training that can be used by graduates for credentialing at the hospitals of their future employment.\nAnnual LAC+USC Emergency Medicine Ultrasound Course:\nThe LAC+USC Emergency Medicine Residency Program hosts an Annual Emergency Ultrasound 2-day, 16-hour course each year in June. Morning lectures are complemented by extensive afternoon small group ultrasound workshops. The workshops utilize live models, as well as patients from the Medical Center with varying pathologies. Residents and staff are instructed in multiple approaches including trauma/extended FAST exam, hepatobiliary, OB/GYN, echocardiography, renal, abdominal aorta, vascular access, procedural and soft tissue/musculoskeletal ultrasound. The program is an annual event each June prior to the start of clinical practice for the incoming EM residency class.\nAnnual LAC+USC Advanced Emergency Medicine Ultrasound Course:\nThe LAC+USC Emergency Medicine Residency Program hosts an Annual Advanced Emergency Ultrasound Class each year in May. This is a 5-hour course that covers advanced application of bedside ultrasound. All four classes of the DEM residency participate in this seminar. The May 2011 course covered regional anesthesia using ultrasound guidance, central venous cannulation under ultrasound (including subclavian and axillary approaches) and detection/removal of foreign bodies with ultrasound.\nPGY-2 Year Month Rotation in Emergency Ultrasound:\nAll PGY-2 Year Emergency Medicine Residents spend a month rotating on the emergency ultrasound service. During the month, residents work directly with the emergency ultrasound faculty on 14 proctored ultrasound shifts. This allows for intensive instruction and immediate feedback in multiple applications of emergency ultrasound. Residents complete over 150 scans over the month to work toward the ACEP credentialing guidelines. They also complete an online ultrasound training program, called SoundBytes (www.sound-bytes.tv), and then test their knowledge with an online test, developed by the ultrasound faculty with ACEP. Finally, they select an interesting ultrasound case and write this up for scholarly publication. This case write-up develops each resident’s skills in fully researching a topic and then writing scientifically for a peer reviewed journal. The PGY-2 ultrasound rotation guidelines are attached as a PDF file below.\nSenior Year Electives in Emergency Ultrasound:\nSenior Emergency Medicine Residents are offered 2-4 week elective blocks in emergency ultrasound. They can use this time to work on mastering advanced applications of bedside ultrasound or to concentrate on a research topic. Interested residents should contact the ultrasound program directors directly.\nEmergency Ultrasound Curriculum:\nThe full emergency ultrasound curriculum is attached as a PDF file to this website. During the 4 years of the DEM residency, residents will become expert at the following emergency ultrasound applications through the experience of performing multiple directly supervised.\nTrauma Ultrasound: Residents will learn the standard four view focused abdominal sonography for trauma (FAST) exam in order to optimally facilitate trauma care. This exam includes the right hepatorenal, left perisplenic, suprapubic/pelvic and cardiac views. The primary goal of the FAST exam is to detect free fluid within the abdomen, pelvis and pericardial sac. Residents will also learn how to perform the newly developed expanded FAST (e-FAST) exam for evaluation of the thoracic cavity. The primary goals of the e-Fast exam are to detect pneumothoraces and pleural cavity free fluid.\nOB/GYN: Residents will learn transabdominal and transvaginal sonographic approaches for OB/GYN sonography. The primary goal of first trimester OB/GYN sonography is the detection of intrauterine pregnancy defined as yolk sac or more. Advanced goals of first trimester OB/GYN sonography include evaluation of the adnexae and detection of ectopic pregnancy.\nEmergency Echocardiography: The primary goals of bedside echocardiography include the detection of pericardial effusions and gross determinations of left ventricular cardiac contractility. The use of emergency bedside cardiac ultrasound to better guide appropriate care during shock states and resuscitations will be emphasized. Advanced goals of bedside echocardiography include evaluation of the heart for signs of cardiac tamponade, with diastolic collapse of the right ventricle or atrium. Residents will also learn how to map out pericardial effusions using sonography to determine the optimal route for emergent pericardiocentesis. Additional advanced echo techniques will also be covered during the curriculum, including determination of right ventricle strain suggestive of pulmonary embolus. Finally, residents will learn to evaluate the inferior vena cava through the respiratory cycle to gain a rough gauge of patient volume status.\nAbdominal Aortic Aneurysms: Training will be given in the examination of the entire abdominal aorta from diaphragm to the bifurcation of the iliac arteries. The primary goal of bedside aorta ultrasound is to recognize the presence of an abdominal aortic aneurysms defined as an aorta greater than 3 cm in diameter and iliac arteries greater than 1.5 cm in diameter.\nHepatobiliary: The primary goals of bedside gallbladder sonography are the evaluation for gallbladder stones and assessment of the sonographic Murphy’s sign. Advanced goals include detection of the secondary signs of cholecystitis such as gallbladder wall thickening and peri-cholecystic fluid.\nGenitourinary: The primary goals of GU bedside ultrasound are the evaluation of obstruction and acute urinary retention. Both kidneys will be examined for hydronephrosis and the bladder assessed for size. Advanced goals include evaluation for kidney stones and other renal pathologies.\nVascular Ultrasound: The use of ultrasound to guide both peripheral and central venous vascular access will be emphasized. Residents will learn to use ultrasound to aid in placement of central lines in the internal jugular, subclavian and femoral veins in order to minimize the risk of these procedures to patients. Ultrasound guided peripheral venous access to the basilic and brachial veins of the arm will also be taught.\nThoracentesis, Paracentesis and Lumbar Puncture: Ultrasound will be used to first detect the presence of pleural effusions and ascites amenable to a drainage procedure. Residents will then learn ultrasound guided approaches to facilitate the procedures of thoracentesis and paracentesis in order to minimize risks to the patient. Ultrasound guided lumbar puncture will also be taught.\nForeign Body Detection: Ultrasound will be used to detect radiolucent foreign bodies that may be difficult to visualize with plain radiography. Ultrasound guided techniques to remove foreign bodies will also be covered in the curriculum.\nCellulitis and Abscess: Residents will learn to evaluate the soft tissues for fluid collections in order to allow for better diagnosis of abscess and differentiation from cellulitits. Residents will also learn to evaluate the tonsils for peritonsillar abscess requiring drainage.\nDeep Venous Thrombosis: Residents will learn the limited DVT screening exam focusing on evaluation of the proximal common femoral vein, greater saphenous and superficial femoral veins down to the proximal popliteal vein and the level of trifurcation. Analysis of the compressibility of the vessel with direct pressure of the probe will be taught as a means to diagnose a deep venous thrombosis.\nMusculoskeletal: Residents will learn how to use ultrasound to analyze joints for the presence of effusions. Ultrasound guided approaches to arthrocentesis will be taught. Residents will also learn how to use ultrasound to examine tendons and ligaments for disruption/rupture. Finally, residents will be taught how to use ultrasound to diagnose fractures.\nOcular Ultrasound: Residents will have the opportunity to learn ocular ultrasound with the primary goal of diagnosing posterior chamber and orbital pathology such as retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, and disruptions of structures. Residents will also learn how to evaluate for increase in intracranial pressure by measuring the optic nerve sheath diameter.\nRapid Ultrasound in Shock (RUSH Exam): Residents will learn the RUSH exam, a protocol developed to non-invasively evaluate the patient in shock using bedside ultrasound. The protocol is made up of 3 main areas; assessment of the pump, the tank and the pipes. Evaluation of the pump focuses on cardiac echo evaluation to look for left ventricular contractility, pericardial effusion and right ventricular strain. Evaluation of the tank focuses on assessment of the inferior vena cava and jugular veins to determine the central venous pressure. Evaluation of the pipes focuses on assessment of the aorta for abdominal aortic aneurysm, the thoracic aorta for aneurysm or dissection and the femoral and popliteal veins for deep venous thrombosis.\nPediatric Applications: Residents will learn ultrasonography applied to children with a focus on abdominal pathology: appendicitis, pyloric stenosis, inguinal hernia and intussusception.\nOther Advanced Applications: Residents will learn basic techniques of testicular ultrasound helpful in diagnosis of pathology in this organ. Ultrasound guided nerve blocks will also be taught to better treat painful conditions in the Emergency Department.\nContinuing Emergency Ultrasound Education / EM Resident Credentialing Pathway:\nSubmission of Ultrasound Scans:\nResidents will submit at least 175-200 ultrasound exams for analysis to the ultrasound directors. Optimally, the ultrasound exams should be divided 25 each among the primary indications for ultrasound (cardiac, ob/gyn, hepatobiliary. genito-urinary, trauma/extended fast, aorta, vascular access).The QA scan sheets can be found online at wisdem.net (see link below).\nEmergency Ultrasound Credentialing:\nIn addition to the above requirements, residents are expected to attend the Thursday Grand Rounds ultrasound lectures unless other EM Residency requirements conflict. Successful completion of the above requirements will allow for residents to receive a certificate of accomplishment as outlined by the ACEP ultrasound training criteria on graduation from the LAC+USC Emergency Medicine Residency. Each resident will be able to use this certificate towards hospital credentialing in bedside emergency ultrasound at their future jobs.\nResident Opportunity for Ultrasound Teaching at National Emergency Medicine Conferences:\nSenior residents will have the opportunity to act as instructors at 2 yearly national Emergency Medicine conferences, USC Essentials in the fall and the Resuscitation Conference in the spring. They will gain the important experience of teaching bedside emergency ultrasound to practicing Emergency Physicians from academics and the community.\nUSC-Keck School of Medicine 4th Year Emergency Ultrasound Rotation:\n1-2 students a month will have the opportunity to rotate on the emergency ultrasound senior medical student elective. Students will work directly with the ultrasound faculty on multiple proctored shifts to learn many applications of bedside ultrasound. Applications are taken through the USC-Keck School of Medicine. The full USC-Keck School of Medicine senior medical student ultrasound rotation guidelines are attached below as a PDF document.\nLAC+USC Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship:\nThe fellowship in Emergency Ultrasound at LAC+USC Medical Center began in July 2011 with the first fellow, Dina Seif MD, a graduate of the LAC+USC Emergency Medicine Residency. Fellows receive intensive advanced instruction in emergency ultrasound over the one-year program. The fellow has specialized scan shifts each month in which they perform multiple ultrasound scans in a number of applications, together with the ultrasound faculty. The collected videos then provide the basis for weekly Thursday ultrasound review sessions. Fellows have multiple opportunities for advanced work in many areas of ultrasound; teaching, research, learning how to coordinate local and national conferences, mastering the many facets of running an ultrasound program and achievement of the RDMS (registered diagnostic medical sonographer) degree.

Wheeler, DVM, MS, DACVO\nAnimal Eye Care of Michigan\n5265 Alward Rd.\nLaingsburg, MI 48848\nA variety of ocular diseases have been reported in the English Springer Spaniel (ESS) over the past century. Some of these diseases are inherited and some are not. Some are diagnosed in the young puppy (congenital) and some in the middle aged to older dog. In 1990, the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists (ACVO) established a Genetics Committee to be charged with the task of reporting diseases considered heritable in purebred dogs. The result was the text, Ocular Disorders Presumed to be Inherited in Purebred Dogs. This has formed the basis of data collection for the Canine Eye Registration Foundation (CERF) in North America. Listed under the ESS are the following disorders: entropion, corneal dystrophy (lipid), persistent papillary membranes, cataract, glaucoma, retinal dysplasia (RD) and generalized progressive retinal atrophy (PRA). These disorders will be discussed with emphasis on important clinical signs, diagnosis and breeding recommendations.\nNote: In Europe, various examination procedures exist for each country with harmonization coming through active work of the European College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists and Kennel Clubs as well as regional groups. In general, what I present here falls under the general consensus of all these schemes.\nExternal diseases of the eye\nEntropion is a conformational defect causing the eyelid margins to roll in causing irritation to the cornea. Both lower and upper lids may be affected. It may be difficult to determine if the condition is primary and inherited (having no other associated cause) or secondary (associated with infection or injury). The disorder is likely influenced by several genes defining the skull shape and orbit depth, the skin weight and how much is present around the eyes as well as the size and position of the eye. It is therefore difficult to determine the precise cause. Unless cause can be determined, breeding recommendations are not to breed affected animals.\nTreatment consists of plastic surgery to restore the lid margins to their normal position.\nCorneal dystrophy is a non-inflammatory corneal opacity present in one or more of the corenal layers. Usually bilateral white to gray areas are aseen in the cornea. Early middle-age is the most common age of onset. Very few dogs are visually impaired due to this type of corneal dystrophy. It is the clinical impression of this author that most corneal \"dystrophy\" seen in the ESS is related to the diet fed. Certain types of fats and fats in excess as well as certain grains may lead to elevated circulating lipids causing deposition in the central cornea as a calcium cholesterol grain. In these cases reducing dietary fat or reassessing the types of fats in the diet may cause the lesions to disappear over time. Some cases may be associated with hypothyroidism. The disorder likely has a genetic basis but this has not been defined. It is the breeder's option to decide whether or not to breed an affected dog.\nDiseases of the Interal Structures of the Eye\nPersistent papillary membranes (PPM) are remnants of a layer of vascular tissue that spanned the pupil area in the neonatal eye. These vessels are necessary for the normal development of the eye, particularly the lens and cornea. At birth they normally break up and disappear forming the opening we know of as the pupil. Strands of this membrane may be retained into adulthood. They may be found as loose strands near the pupil edge or form solid attachments across the pupil (iris to iris), from the iris to the lens or iris to cornea. In severe cases parts or all of the tissue sheet may be retained. These may result in vision impairment or blindness when severe. The disorder is visible in young puppies and is usually bilateral. In minor cases, with the normal growth and development of the anterior structures of the eye, the PPM's may \"disappear\" but most persist throughout life without change. Diagnosis is made on routine examination with ophthalmoscope and slit lamp. In cases of iris remnants attached only to iris the breeding choice is left to the owner. Where lens or cornea are involved, breeding is discouraged.\nCataract is defined as any opacity in the lens and/or its capsule. It may be present in one or both eyes, and may involve all or part of the lens. Minor opacities do not affect vision. In cases where cataracts are bilateral and complete the dog will be blind. Diagnosis is made after dilating the pupils with a mydriatic during eye examination with an ophthalmoscope or slitlamp. Complete cataract is typically visible even without dilating the pupil.\nCataracts may be primary, and generally considered hereditary, or secondary, as in the case of diabetic cataract. Cataract diagnosed in the young puppy is called congenital (present at birth) and may or may not be heritable. Non-hereditary causes of cataracts include trauma, nutritional deficiency, infection or metabolic disorders. Juvenile cataract is a \"loose\" term used for cataracts that occur in young adult dogs, while senile cataract is seen in older dogs (older than 8 years of age). In the ESS, juvenile cataracts are seen involving the posterior region of the lens and developing slowly with time. Though the changes do progress with times, most dogs seldom develop severe visual impairment requiring surgery to remove the cataract. The mode of inheritance for cataract in most breeds appears as a familial trait, but it has not been elucidated in the ESS.\nTreatment for cataract is by surgery. Lens extraction and replacement with an artificial intraocular lens are performed by veterinary eye specialists all over the world.\nDogs with cataract should not be used for breeding purposes.\nGlaucoma is a complex disease entity, the major clinical sign being an elevation of the intraocular pressure. This causes damage to the internal structures of the eye , pain and ultimately blindness. The disease can be differentiated in to primary and secondary types, of which primary glaucoma is recognized as an hereditary condition in the ESS. The age of onset of glaucoma in the breed ranges from 3-12 years, with a mean age of 6 years. Usually affected dogs show unilateral signs of glaucoma with the other eye becoming affected months to years later. Typical signs are a red, painful eye, dilated pupils that do not constrict, or do so slowly, with light stimulation, and a grayish or white discoloration to the cornea. Diagnosis is made by routine examination of the eye including the measurement of pressure in the eye (by tonometry) and evaluation of the iridocorneal angle (also called the filtration angle) in the anterior portion of the eye by gonioscopy.\nPectinate ligament dysplasia (PLD) is a defect of the iridocorneal angle of the eye. The space bridged by the pectinate ligaments- the iridocorneal angle- is important for the circulation of fluids out of the eye. This fluid flow maintains a normal intraocular pressure inside the eye. A recent study by Bjerkas et al, 2002, showed that the prevealence of PLD is 25.5% in the ESS breed. Another frequent defect seein in the breed and associated with PLD, is narrowing of the relative width of the ciliary cleft, another important structure in the same region of the eye. Studies of the iridocorneal angle can be done using a technique called gonioscopy. This was one with a large group of normal ESS dogs and narrow iridocorneal angles with or without concurrent PLD was shown. This study demonstrated a clear relationship between glaucoma and the narrowing of the angle as well as between glaucoma and the degree of PLD. Consequently, both factors may contribute additively as well as independently to the development of glaucoma in the breed. The defects may also serve as markers of abnormalities in the deeper parts of the outflow pathways of the eye which may predispose to glaucoma.\nThe exact mode of inheritance of primary glaucoma in the ESS has yet to be demonstrated but a polygenic mode is suspected. Affected dogs should not be bred.\nRetinal dysplasia (RD) is a congenital defect in the development and layering of the retina resulting in folding and abnormal growth of cells especially in the outer retina. The defect can be primary, and most often due to hereditary factors, or secondary, due to local or systemic inflammatory or infectious processes that affect the retina during development and maturation. Studies indicate that RD in the ESS is inherited and suggest it is an autosomal recessive trait. RD is a congenital disorder developing around 48 days gestation. Affected puppies are born with the lesions already present. The defect may be focal, involving solitary folds in the central parts of the retina; multifocal, with several folded structures in the central and midperipheral area; geographic, in which a localized area in the retina is partially detached; or complete, in which most or all of the retina is abnormal and detached. The defect is most often bilateral but not always with similar degrees of involvement in the two eyes. The appearance of RD during examination with an ophthalmoscope is linear, triangular, curved or curvilinear foci of retinal folding that may be single or multiple, most prevalent in the central tapetal area, near the main retina vessels. In more severe cases scarring with pigmentation and thinning of the retina are seen as well as partial or total detachments.\nClinical signs depend on the severity of the defect. Complete RD causes blindness, while focal RD may not cause any obvious visual problems. Clinical signs of RD usually do not change with age, but there are exceptions. Multiple abnormal areas near each other may progress slowly to full detachment in time. Also, solitary minor changes will partially or completely \"heal\" with age to a state where they cannot be seen by the examiner. It is therefore important that puppies be examined at a young age (6-12 weeks) to identify this congenital disorder.\nNone of the forms of RD are desirable and affected dogs should not be used for breeding.\nProgressive retinal atrophy (PRA) is a slowly progressive disease of the rod and cone visual cells of the retina. Dogs are born with normal vision but become visually impaired over the course of 2-5 years. Initially there is night vision loss which progresses slowly into day vision loss. For the ESS a great variation of onset and progression of clinical signs has been noted (between 2-13 years). There is some indication that PRA in the ESS is similar to PRA found in the English and American cocker spaniels (progressive rod-cone degeneration- prcd).\nRetinal abnormalities in the eye may be observed at examination using and ophthalmoscope after pupils are dilated with a mydriatic. Initially there are color changes at the peripheral tapetal retina early in the disease, the changes in reflectivity of the tapetal retina indicating a generalized thinning of the retinal layers and finally a reduction and thinning of the retinal vasculature. Dogs affected with PRA frequently have secondary cataract that may make diagnosis difficult. In these cases, diagnosis with electroretinography (ERG) is recommended. Through an elaborate testing procedure a diagnosis may be made, often before clinical signs are apparent.\nThere is no effective treatment for PRA. Affected dogs become blind. The disease is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait. Affected dogs should not be used for breeding. In Sweden, it is not recommended to breed carriers, such as the parents of an affected dog or offspring of an affected dog.\nRubin, LF: Inherited disease in pure-bred dogs.

Patient diagnosis, treatment, and care can all benefit from mobile devices and wireless technologies that weren’t available ten years ago. Clinicians can perform their duties better, become more efficient and productive, and enjoy a better life balance with the knowledge that they’re enhancing the lives of their patients — and may even save more lives.\nThe healthcare industry as a whole recognises and embraces technology that empowers them like no other time in history. We see new innovations all the time, and the future looks bright. So why do some healthcare professionals resist technology that promises to make their lives (and the lives of their patients) so much easier? And why do healthcare IT professionals shy away from adopting devices and applications that make users happier?\nDespite the resistance to change, handheld computers combined with wireless capabilities will continue to transform the way healthcare providers can treat and interact with patients. Desktop as a service in healthcare can help address the needs and concerns of healthcare professionals and IT administrators alike, leading to powerful innovations in patient care.\nAs long as IT has been part of professional environments, there has been friction between the people who guard the data and those who need to access it. When you consider the competing goals of IT administrators and their users, it’s easier to understand why the healthcare industry can be slow to adopt technological innovations.\nThe needs of the healthcare IT professionals who administer the technology (and guard data like mother bears protecting their cubs) are often at odds with the needs of their users: doctors, nurses, lab technicians, and other hands-on providers. Those tasked with worrying about privacy concerns and meeting HIPAA regulations are justifiably cautious when it comes to new technology, while those tasked with caring for patients are eager for new tools that improve their practice.\nHere are just a handful of the competing needs and concerns that complicate decisions surrounding technology adoption in the healthcare industry:\nWhile the issues surrounding mobile technology in the healthcare space are dogged by adversity, Dell recognised an opportunity and partnered with Citrix to deliver desktop as a service in healthcare. They recognised that healthcare IT professionals are driven by three core needs:\nDell’s Mobile Clinical Computing (MCC) is a desktop virtualisation and identity management system built from the ground-up for caregivers and IT administrators alike. A flexible enterprise-level solution, MCC was designed for the healthcare industry, with equal emphasis on data security and usability.\nDell’s MCC makes it possible to utilise desktop as a service in healthcare with ease and security, so hospitals and physicians can treat patients with confidence. Data is stored to heavily protected and monitored data centres, not mobile devices, making IT admins happy. And many more features are in place to ensure healthcare professionals won’t compromise patient privacy, violate HIPAA regulations, or fail to meet insurers documentation demands:\nWhen clinicians are able to access applications and patient records from their in-pocket mobile device, they can stop searching and waiting for available computers, increasing day-to-day efficiency.\nMCC delivers data security, IT productivity, and clinical efficiency, making this desktop as a service in healthcare solution an obvious choice for healthcare professionals who want to provide the best care possible. By partnering with Citrix, Dell has delivered an end-to-end desktop virtualisation solution where it was most needed: the healthcare industry.

Early spay or ovariohysterectomy (females) or neuter or orchiectomy (for males) surgery can prevent diseases such as pyometra (infection of the uterus), prostatitis, and cancer of the mammary glands or testes.\nSpay surgery is performed under general anesthesia, which means that the pet is unconscious while the surgery is performed. Animals should be in good health prior to surgery. Generally, we recommend dogs and cats undergo surgery at about six months of age, preferably before the first heat period.\nSpay and neuter surgeries are routine procedures and stress to the patient is generally low. This is an excellent opportunity to microchip your pet.\nMost animals can go home right away and recovery time is typically short. Nonetheless, the incision should be monitored twice daily for any signs of infection: swelling, redness, and discharge. The incision site should be kept clean and dry.\nYour pet’s activities should be limited for the first week or so following surgery. Dogs should only be walked on a leash and not allowed to run or roam. Following that first week, the animal can resume normal activity.\nBenefits of Spay/Neuter\nBeyond birth control, the benefits to pets far outweigh the inconvenience of this routine procedure. Spayed and neutered pets can be more affectionate and many undesirable behaviors are eliminated.\nThe benefits of spaying females include:\n- No annoying heat cycles to attract males\n- Less desire to roam\n- Reduced risk of mammary gland tumors\n- Eliminates risk of ovarian and uterine cancer\n- Eradicates risk of pyometra, a life-threatening infection in the uterus that requires emergency surgery\nThe benefits of neutering males include:\n- Decreased aggressive behavior\n- Reduced or eliminated spraying and marking\n- Less desire to roam (reduces risk of getting hit by a car or injuries from fights)\n- Eliminates risk of testicular cancer\n- Decreased risk of prostate disease\nThis routine surgical procedure is a small price to pay for the long and healthy life of your pet.\nPrevent Pet Overpopulation\nSterilizing your pet helps prevent cat and dog overpopulation. There are far more cats and dogs in the United States than there are available homes. Stray and unwanted cats and dogs overrun our animal shelters.\nEven if you were to find a home for your pet’s puppies or kittens, this translates to fewer homeless pets already waiting in shelters being adopted, putting them at risk for being destroyed. Further and sadly, there is no guarantee that the owners you find will sterilize, so your pet’s offspring may be at risk of being homeless or destroyed.\nWhile sterilizing kittens and puppies is advised, adult pets can have spay or neuter procedures performed as well.

Dermal fillers are a great way to restore lost facial volume. He mentions that most people are candidates for at least one type of dermal filler.View transcript\nInterviewer: Well, we are back with Dr. Michael Devlin of Devlin Cosmetic Surgery. And he's got the remedy for if you're tired of looking tired. He says it can be done on your lunch hour. That's what's amazing to me. So what's this procedure called? Dr. Devlin: Well, it's really not a procedure as much as it's used dermal fillers. As we age, we tend to lose our volume in our face and that's what causes the little grooves and things. It also thins out your skin, so you lose dermal thickness. That causes the dark circles under your eyes. So, a lot of people will use concealers, a lot of different creams to mask the problem, when they don't even realize that you can actually treat the underlying problem, which is the volume loss. So, we'll go in with some dermal filler; and there's a lot of different fillers out on the market right now. Some that last anywhere from six months to ones that last even up to 5 to 10 years. Interviewer: Oh, wow. Dr. Devlin: That you can use and that's a procedure that we can do even during your lunch, you come in. It has a little bit of a local anesthesia in that, so you feel very comfortable during the procedure. And you can walk away looking 5 to 10 years younger. Interviewer: Is that not amazing? You can do this on your lunchtime. You can go into his office, and look like you need a couple of good nights' sleep, and then come back looking quite refreshed. Dr. Devlin: Yeah. We have patients that come in all the time and they say, \"I'm just tired of people saying, 'Hey, are you okay? You look so tired.'\" It was like, \"No, I don't feel tired.\" But they look tired, because they lose that volume in their face. And the only way to really treat that problem is to restore that volume. Interviewer: Okay. Is there anybody who would not be a good candidate for that? Dr. Devlin: Well, anybody who's on any blood thinners or something like that would not be a good candidate for that, because it does involve injections. But a lot of times even if they're on blood thinners, with their doctor's clearance, they can be off them for about 10 days or so, and then still have the procedure done. So, other than that, just about everybody's a candidate for some sort of filler. Interviewer: Okay, so if I'm interested in doing that, what's the first step? What do I need to do? Dr. Devlin: Well, the first step is to call our office, to come in for consultation. Everybody is different. Everybody's facial feature is a little bit different. Their underlying causes may be different. It may be a combination of having to use something like Botox and a dermal filler to treat the underlying cause or even sometimes, some bleaching creams that we'll use to treat all of it. Sometimes we use all different modalities, but everyone's a little bit different. So, you come in to our office for your consultation. And we're actually having a special offer right now for the first 20 callers who call. Interviewer: There you go. Dr. Devlin: If you buy one syringe of Perlane, which is a filler, you can get the second one for half price. Interviewer: Okay. So again, it is called a dermal filler... Dr. Devlin: Yes. Interviewer: A non-surgical procedure that Dr. Devlin says you can go in on your lunchtime and get done, and come back looking like a million bucks, I hope. Dr. Devlin: Non-surgical. Interviewer: All right. And it's not a temporary fix like concealer. It's something that has a little bit longer... Dr. Devlin: No, this is longer and like I said, we have different fillers that last different lengths. Do we have a picture for before and after? Interviewer: Do we have that picture?

And what we did is we went in and augmented the areas around her eyes, and it's called the teardrop area; and we also augmented her cheeks. If you restore that volume, you pretty much can get rid of those little bags under your eyes, and those little volume losses. And it can make you look a lot younger.

All right, Dr. Devlin can be found at the Devlin Cosmetic Surgery Center. You see the information there on your screen, and that's his web address or email address, I should say.

With that being said, the Maltipoo is definitely one of the healthiest breeds around.\nSome of the more common health problems that surround the Maltipoo include: eye problems, low thyroid function, dental problems, heart disease, seizures, allergies, and hip dysplasia.\nAs you can imagine, not all Maltipoos will suffer from these problems. And even if your dog has one of these health issues, it is safe to say that it will not suffer from all of them. One of the best ways to avoid common Maltipoo health problems is to buy from a breeder that is breeding away from these issues. In other words, if a breeder finds that a dame or sire has a health problem, they will immediately stop breeding it. This is one of the best ways for the Maltipoo breed to eliminate some of the more common health concerns.\nAll in all, the Maltipoo is a healthy breed. Even the issues that are common in some of these dogs are not extremely serious. For more information on the health of this breed, give your local veterinarian a call. They will be able to give you solid information on what to look for when buying a Maltipoo puppy as well as some health issues that you may have to deal with sooner or later.", "domain": "health"}

Gradually, anxiety and stress had begun to present different symptoms to those I was previously used to. Rather than shaky hands and difficulty breathing, I was feeling sick and scared to eat for fear of being sick. Pressure from doctors to gain weight only made my anxiety worse, and I became able to eat less and less due to my increasing levels of anxiety.\nIt was then that I should have asked for psychological help, but I fought against it. My doctor wanted to refer me to an eating disorder clinic, which any outsider who saw my skeletal frame would have considered a logical move. I was dead against it.\nMy discharge from therapy two years previously coupled with my determination to be ‘normal’ and independent left me feeling hostile towards mental health professionals. My greatest desire was to be considered a successful, high-functioning adult with the ability to achieve anything.\nI did not feel at the time that being labeled with another mental illness would be a fantastic contribution to that desire.\nBeing jokingly referred to as anorexic throughout my childhood didn’t help, either. It was something I was programmed to continuously fight against. To this day, at a healthy BMI, I do not know whether the eating disorder service was the right place for me or whether my weight loss was just a symptom of my anxiety disorder and OCD.\nIn hindsight however, I do know that I delayed my recovery through wasting time rejecting help and support.\nWhy did I do that? For the same reasons that someone with depression might start self medicating or isolating themselves from the world rather than ringing their GP. A mixture of fear, denial and shame.\nAlmost everyone I have ever known with a mental illness has been reluctant to seek help with their condition. Seeking help means accepting you are unwell, and for some reason, that still equates to weakness in the eyes of many.\nBut why? Accepting professional help saved my life. Recovery and treatment has also been at times immensely challenging — requiring a steely determination that is anything but weak.\nIt’s almost become a cliche these days, but avoiding help for your mental illness really is like breaking your leg and trying to keep walking on it rather than going to A&E.\nWhether it is something you have developed genetically, or through a traumatic event beyond your control, mental illness is an illness like any other. Perfectly deserving of compassion, concern and most importantly — treatment.\nAttending therapy does not make you weak, and medication isn’t a cop-out. Therapy offers a unique opportunity to understand the inner workings of your mind and enhance your strongest abilities. Medication allows you to operate on a level playing field to those with healthy brains.\nThose who seek help for their mental illness have not only applied logic in a terrifying situation, but they are also facing up to their greatest fears in order to better themselves. Now tell me, how on earth is that weak?", "domain": "health"}

A mold allergy can cause coughing, itchy eyes, and other symptoms that make you miserable. In some people, a mold allergy is linked to asthma and exposure causes restricted breathing and other airway symptoms.\nIf you have a mold allergy, the best defense is to reduce your exposure to the types of mold that cause your reaction. Medications can help keep mold allergy reactions under control.\nA mold allergy causes the same signs and symptoms that occur in other types of upper respiratory allergies. Signs and symptoms of allergic rhinitis caused by a mold allergy can include:\n- Runny or stuffy nose\n- Cough and postnasal drip\n- Itchy eyes, nose, and throat\n- Watery eyes\n- Dry, scaly skin\nMold allergy symptoms vary from person to person and range from mild to severe. You might have year-round symptoms or symptoms that flare up only during certain times of the year. You might notice symptoms when the weather is damp or when you’re in indoor or outdoor spaces that have high concentrations of mold.\nMold allergy and asthma\nIf you have a mold allergy and asthma, your asthma symptoms can be triggered by exposure to mold spores. In some people, exposure to certain molds can cause a severe asthma attack. Signs and symptoms of asthma include:\n- Shortness of breath\n- Chest tightness\nWhen to see a doctor\nIf you have a stuffy nose, sneezing, watery eyes, shortness of breath, wheezing, or other bothersome symptoms that persist, see your doctor.\nLike any allergy, mold allergy symptoms are triggered by an overly sensitive immune system response. When you inhale tiny, airborne mold spores, your body recognizes them as foreign invaders and develops allergy-causing antibodies to fight them.\nExposure to mold spores can cause a reaction right away, or the reaction can be delayed.\nVarious molds are common indoors and outdoors. Only certain kinds of mold cause allergies. Being allergic to one type of mold doesn’t mean you’ll be allergic to another. Some of the most common molds that cause allergies include alternaria, aspergillus, cladosporium and penicillium.\nA number of factors can make you more likely to develop a mold allergy or worsen your mold allergy symptoms, including:\n- Having a family history of allergies. If allergies and asthma run in your family, you’re more likely to develop a mold allergy.\n- Working in an occupation that exposes you to mold. Occupations where mold exposure can be high include farming, dairy work, logging, baking, millwork, carpentry, greenhouse work, winemaking, and furniture repair.\n- Living in a house with high humidity. Having indoor humidity higher than 50% can increase mold in your home. Mold can grow virtually anywhere if the conditions are right — in basements, behind walls in framing, on soap-coated grout and other damp surfaces, in carpet pads, and in the carpet itself. Exposure to high levels of household mold can trigger mold allergy symptoms.\n- Working or living in a building that’s been exposed to excess moisture. Examples include leaky pipes, water seepage during rainstorms, and flood damage. At some point, nearly every building has some kind of excessive moisture, which can encourage mold growth.\n- Living in a house with poor ventilation. Tight window and door seals can trap moisture indoors and prevent proper ventilation, creating ideal conditions for mold growth. Damp areas — such as bathrooms, kitchens, and basements — are the most vulnerable.\nMost allergic responses to mold involve hay fever-type symptoms that can make you miserable but aren’t serious. However, certain allergic conditions caused by mold are more severe. These include:\n- Mold-induced asthma. In people allergic to mold, breathing in spores can trigger an asthma flare-up. If you have a mold allergy and asthma, be sure that you have an emergency plan in case of a severe asthma attack.\n- Allergic fungal sinusitis. This results from an inflammatory reaction to fungus in the sinuses.\n- Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. This reaction to fungus in the lungs can occur in people with asthma or cystic fibrosis.\n- Hypersensitivity pneumonitis. This rare condition occurs when exposure to airborne particles such as mold spores causes lung inflammation. It can be triggered by exposure to allergy-causing dust at work.\nOther problems caused by mold\nBesides allergens, mold can pose other health risks to susceptible people. For example, mold can cause infections of the skin or mucous membranes. Generally, however, mold doesn’t cause systemic infections except for people with impaired immune systems, such as those who have HIV/AIDS or who are taking immunosuppressant medication.\nTo reduce mold growth in your home, consider these tips:\n- Eliminate sources of dampness in basements, such as pipe leaks or groundwater seepage.\n- Use a dehumidifier in any area of your home that smells musty or damp. Keep your humidity levels below 50%. Remember to clean the collection bucket and condensation coils regularly.\n- Use an air conditioner and consider installing central air conditioning with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter attachment. The HEPA filter can trap mold spores from outdoor air before they’re circulated inside your home.\n- Change filters on your furnace and air conditioners regularly. Have forced air heating ducts inspected and, if necessary, cleaned.\n- Be sure all bathrooms are properly ventilated, and run the ventilation fan during a shower or bath and immediately after to dry the air. If you don’t have a ventilation fan, open a window or door while you’re showering or bathing.\n- Don’t carpet bathrooms and basements.\n- Promote groundwater drainage away from your house by removing leaves and vegetation from around the foundation and cleaning out rain gutters frequently. Make sure the ground slopes away from the foundation.\n- Keep organic plant containers clean and dry, such as those made of straw, wicker or hemp.\n- Toss or recycle old books and newspapers. If left in damp places, such as basements, they can quickly become moldy.", "domain": "health"}

Music therapy is a form of therapeutic intervention that utilizes the power of music to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals. It involves the use of various musical elements such as rhythm, melody, and harmony, as well as active engagement in music-making activities. Music therapists are trained professionals who work with clients to create personalized treatment plans that cater to their specific needs and goals. Through the use of music, individuals can experience improved communication, enhanced self-expression, reduced anxiety and stress, increased motivation, and overall improved well-being. Music therapy can be beneficial for people of all ages and abilities, making it a versatile and effective approach to promoting health and healing.\nHistory of music therapy\nThe history of music therapy dates back to ancient civilizations, where music was recognized for its healing properties. In ancient Greece, for example, music was used as a form of therapy to treat mental and physical ailments. The power of music to evoke emotions and create a sense of well-being was also acknowledged in ancient Egypt and China. However, it was not until the 20th century that music therapy began to be recognized as a formal discipline. In the early 1900s, musicians started working in hospitals and psychiatric institutions, using music to help patients with various conditions. Today, music therapy has evolved into a well-established field, with research supporting its effectiveness in improving cognitive, emotional, and physical well-being.\nBenefits of music therapy\nMusic therapy has been proven to offer a multitude of benefits for individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Firstly, it has been found to enhance emotional well-being by reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. The soothing melodies and rhythmic patterns of music have a profound impact on our mood, helping us relax and find solace in challenging times. Moreover, music therapy has shown remarkable results in improving cognitive abilities, such as memory, attention, and problem-solving skills. By engaging the brain in various musical activities, individuals can stimulate neural connections and enhance their overall cognitive functioning. Additionally, music therapy has been widely recognized for its ability to promote physical healing and rehabilitation. Whether it is through rhythmic movements or playing musical instruments, music therapy can aid in motor skills development and coordination. Overall, the benefits of music therapy are vast and encompass not only emotional and cognitive well-being but also physical health and rehabilitation.\nThe Science behind Music Therapy\nHow music affects the brain\nHow music affects the brain is a fascinating area of study that has garnered significant attention in recent years. Research has shown that listening to music can have a profound impact on various regions of the brain, influencing mood, cognition, and even physical responses. When we listen to music, our brain releases dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward, which explains why music can evoke strong emotions and create a sense of joy or nostalgia. Additionally, studies have demonstrated that music can enhance cognitive abilities, such as memory and attention, by stimulating neural connections and promoting neuroplasticity. Furthermore, music therapy has been found to be particularly effective in improving motor skills and coordination in individuals with neurological disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease or stroke survivors. The power of music to influence and shape the brain is truly remarkable, and further research in this field holds great potential for therapeutic applications and enhancing overall well-being.\nThe role of neuroplasticity in music therapy\nThe role of neuroplasticity in music therapy is crucial in understanding how music can positively impact the brain. Neuroplasticity refers to the brain’s ability to reorganize and form new neural connections throughout a person’s life. Music therapy harnesses this remarkable capability by engaging various regions of the brain involved in auditory processing, memory, emotion, and motor skills. Through repeated exposure to music and targeted interventions, neuroplasticity allows the brain to adapt and rewire itself, leading to improved cognitive, emotional, and physical functioning. This phenomenon highlights the transformative power of music therapy, as it not only provides enjoyment and relaxation but also promotes healing and rehabilitation in individuals with various neurological conditions or injuries.\nPsychological and physiological effects of music therapy\nPsychological and physiological effects of music therapy have been widely recognized and studied. Research has shown that music therapy can have a profound impact on individuals’ mental and emotional well-being. It has been found to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, improve mood, and enhance overall psychological functioning. Moreover, music therapy has been shown to have physiological effects, such as reducing heart rate and blood pressure, promoting relaxation, and even boosting the immune system. These effects can be attributed to the ability of music to stimulate the release of endorphins, which are natural mood-enhancing chemicals in the brain. Overall, the psychological and physiological benefits of music therapy highlight its potential as a powerful therapeutic tool for improving the overall quality of life for individuals of all ages and backgrounds.\nApplications of Music Therapy\nMusic therapy in mental health\nMusic therapy has gained significant recognition and importance in the field of mental health. It has proven to be a powerful tool in helping individuals cope with various mental health conditions. Through the use of music, therapists are able to create a safe and supportive environment for patients to express their emotions, reduce anxiety, and improve overall well-being. Music therapy has been particularly effective in treating depression, anxiety disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). By engaging with music, patients can experience a sense of relaxation, increased self-awareness, and enhanced emotional regulation. Moreover, music therapy can also aid in improving social skills and fostering a sense of connection and belonging among individuals with mental health challenges. Overall, the incorporation of music therapy in mental health treatment has shown immense potential in promoting healing and recovery.\nMusic therapy in pain management\nMusic therapy has emerged as a powerful tool in pain management, offering a non-pharmacological approach to alleviate discomfort and enhance overall well-being. Numerous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of music therapy in reducing pain levels and improving mood in patients suffering from chronic pain conditions. By engaging with music, individuals can experience a distraction from their pain, allowing them to focus on the soothing melodies and rhythms instead. The therapeutic use of music has been found to activate the brain’s reward system, releasing endorphins that act as natural painkillers. Moreover, music therapy can promote relaxation, decrease muscle tension, and provide a sense of control over one’s pain, ultimately leading to improved pain management outcomes.\nMusic therapy in rehabilitation\nMusic therapy has proven to be highly effective in the field of rehabilitation. It has been widely used to aid individuals in their recovery process, whether it be physical, mental, or emotional. Through the use of various musical techniques, such as rhythm and melody, music therapy helps to stimulate and engage different areas of the brain, promoting motor skills, cognitive function, and emotional well-being. In rehabilitation settings, music therapy is often utilized to assist patients in regaining movement and coordination, improving speech and communication skills, and reducing anxiety and stress. The power of music therapy in rehabilitation lies in its ability to tap into the innate connection between music and the human brain, providing a unique and holistic approach to healing and recovery.\nMusic Therapy Techniques\nActive music-making is a dynamic and engaging form of music therapy that involves the active participation of individuals in creating and performing music. This approach allows individuals to express themselves, develop their creativity, and engage in a meaningful and interactive way. Through activities such as singing, playing instruments, and improvisation, active music-making provides a platform for self-expression, emotional release, and personal growth. It encourages individuals to explore their musical abilities, build confidence, and develop social skills through collaboration and communication. Active music-making has been found to be particularly effective in promoting physical and cognitive development, enhancing mood and emotional well-being, and improving overall quality of life. Whether it is through drumming, dancing, or composing, active music-making harnesses the power of music to empower individuals and facilitate their journey towards healing and self-discovery.\nPassive music listening\nPassive music listening is a fundamental aspect of music therapy that has been proven to have a profound impact on individuals’ emotional well-being. By simply immersing oneself in the melodies, rhythms, and harmonies of music, one can experience a range of therapeutic benefits. This form of music therapy allows individuals to relax, unwind, and escape from the stresses of daily life. It has the power to evoke memories, stir emotions, and create a sense of comfort and solace. Whether it is through the soothing sounds of classical music or the uplifting beats of pop songs, passive music listening provides a therapeutic space for individuals to find solace, heal, and rejuvenate their minds and souls.\nGuided imagery and music\nGuided imagery and music (GIM) is a powerful technique used in music therapy that combines music and visualization to promote healing and personal growth. During a GIM session, a trained music therapist guides the individual through a series of carefully selected musical pieces, encouraging them to explore their thoughts, emotions, and memories. As the music plays, the therapist prompts the individual to create vivid mental images that correspond to the music, allowing for a deeper connection to their inner experiences. This process can be particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, or chronic pain, as it provides a safe and creative outlet for self-expression and introspection. Through the use of guided imagery and music, individuals can tap into the transformative power of music to enhance their overall well-being and foster a sense of inner harmony.\nMusic Therapy in Different Populations\nMusic therapy for children with autism\nMusic therapy has proven to be particularly beneficial for children with autism. The unique power of music to engage and connect with individuals on a deep emotional level has shown remarkable results in improving communication and social skills in children on the autism spectrum. Through the use of various musical activities, such as singing, playing instruments, and rhythmic movement, music therapy helps children with autism express themselves, enhance their sensory integration, and develop their cognitive abilities. Moreover, the structured and predictable nature of music provides a comforting and safe environment for these children, allowing them to feel more at ease and open to learning and interaction. Overall, music therapy has emerged as a valuable tool in supporting the development and well-being of children with autism.\nMusic therapy for individuals with dementia\nMusic therapy has shown remarkable benefits for individuals with dementia. The power of music has the ability to reach deep within the minds of those affected by this condition, evoking memories and emotions that may otherwise be inaccessible. Through carefully selected music, music therapists can create a therapeutic environment that promotes relaxation, reduces anxiety, and improves overall well-being. Studies have shown that music therapy can also enhance cognitive function, stimulate communication, and increase social interaction among individuals with dementia. By tapping into the profound connection between music and memory, music therapy offers a unique and effective approach to improving the quality of life for those living with dementia.\nMusic therapy for patients with chronic illnesses\nMusic therapy has proven to be a powerful tool in improving the well-being of patients with chronic illnesses. By incorporating music into their treatment plans, these patients can experience a range of benefits. Firstly, music therapy helps to alleviate physical symptoms such as pain and discomfort, as it has a calming effect on the body. Additionally, it can enhance emotional well-being by reducing stress, anxiety, and depression commonly associated with chronic illnesses. Moreover, music therapy provides a sense of empowerment and control, allowing patients to express themselves creatively and connect with their emotions. Overall, the integration of music therapy into the care of patients with chronic illnesses offers a holistic approach that addresses both their physical and emotional needs.\nFuture of Music Therapy\nAdvancements in technology and music therapy\nAdvancements in technology have revolutionized the field of music therapy, enhancing its effectiveness and accessibility. With the development of sophisticated music software and digital platforms, therapists can now create personalized playlists and tailor music interventions to meet the specific needs of each individual.

Overall, the integration of technology into music therapy has opened up new possibilities for therapeutic interventions, making it a powerful tool in promoting emotional well-being and enhancing the quality of life for individuals of all ages and abilities.\nIntegration of music therapy in healthcare\nIntegration of music therapy in healthcare has proven to be a transformative approach in improving patient outcomes and overall well-being. By incorporating music into various healthcare settings, such as hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and mental health facilities, music therapy has shown remarkable results in reducing pain, anxiety, and stress levels among patients. Moreover, it has been found to enhance communication skills, promote emotional expression, and provide a sense of comfort and relaxation. The integration of music therapy in healthcare not only complements traditional medical treatments but also offers a holistic approach to healing, addressing the physical, emotional, and psychological needs of patients. With its ability to engage individuals on a deep emotional level, music therapy has become an invaluable tool in promoting healing and enhancing the overall quality of care in healthcare settings.\nResearch and evidence-based practice in music therapy\nResearch and evidence-based practice in music therapy have played a crucial role in establishing the effectiveness of this therapeutic approach. Numerous studies have shown that music therapy can have a positive impact on various aspects of human health and well-being. For example, research has demonstrated that music therapy can reduce anxiety and stress levels, improve mood and emotional expression, enhance cognitive abilities, and promote physical rehabilitation. These findings have not only validated the use of music therapy as a viable treatment option but have also led to its integration into various healthcare settings. As a result, music therapy is now recognized as a valuable and evidence-based practice that can significantly contribute to the overall well-being of individuals across different populations and age groups.", "domain": "health"}

While I was pregnant, I had difficulty gaining weight and had an overactive thyroid. I joked that as soon as he was born, I was going to gain all of the weight I needed and never be able to get rid of it. Well…13 months later, here I am, 75 pounds heavier and ready to make a change. I am lucky enough to have a friend who is a BeachBody Coach. After reading her posts and seeing how much fun she was having with her workouts, I decided to jump in during one of their really excellent promotions.\nWhat I Got:\nDuring this promotion, I got to try Beachbody’s signature meal replacement/superfood drink, Shakeology. I tried both the Cafe Latte flavor and the Chocolate. These are the most costly meal replacement shakes I have come across, but they do have an impressive list of ingredients and the flavor is on point. They deliver a huge dose of vitamins, minerals, protein, and antioxidants. For those that spend a large amount on supplements each month, switching to an all-in-one product like Shakeology is a great bargain.\nFor $99 per year, I have access to every workout in the BeachBody arsenal, from Hip Hop Abs to 21 Day Fix to P90X and much more. Workouts stream on your smart TV, Apple device or in your browser. There’s an accompanying app that allows you to connect with your team, track shakes, workouts, and progress.\nBack before baby, I was starting to get into crossfit. I’m still not eager to dip back into that sort of training, as it brings back memories of morning sickness. Instead, I opted for a fun dance workout called Rockin Body. The workouts are fairly short (15-120 minutes per session). I had a blast keeping up with Shaun T and often followed Tania with the modified workouts.\nRockin Body is a 60-day program, and I still have about a week to go. I weighed in after 30 days, however, and was surprised to see that I hadn’t lost more than a pound. After consulting the BeachBody forums, it seems that it’s pretty typical of most of their programs. I did lose over 9 inches all over, which was great progress! After coming down with a bug this past week, I’ve switched to a yoga program called 3 Week Yoga Retreat to encourage my body to detox and heal. I’m loving the deep stretching and will probably go back and forth between these two until I finish out Rockin Body. This is one of the huge draws of BeachBody: access to every type of workout imaginable, with charismatic trainers you can’t help but love.\nI highly recommend BeachBody if you’re looking for a variety of workouts to do from home.

Some love the taste of the oil, others prefer the more subtle taste of the water-soluble which can be mixed into food or drink without impacting flavor much or compromise the absorption rate. So if you're not keen on the taste of oils, take the water soluble. Using CBD oil, placing drops or spraying beneath the tongue is known as taking the oil sublingually. The advantage to taking the oil in this manner is that it allows the most vital components to be directly absorbed into the bloodstream and to your CB2 receptors without having to pass first through the digestive system.\nThe benefits of water soluble CBD:\nThis can be sprayed directly in the mouth and swallowed immediately or added to drink or food. It depends on what is easier for you. Because of the way the water soluble CBD is absorbed, the effects can be up to 10x more effective than the oil equivalent because your body is able to absorb almost 100% of the cannabinoids into your system. This is because the oil compounds have been reduced using a special technique, so they are small enough for the body to process through ingestion as it would any other food stuff that isn't an oil.\nIt's good for people who don’t like the taste of the oil or those who can’t hold it under their tongue. All of our water soluble CBD contains terpenes that have anti-inflammatory properties.\nOur CBD is also CO2 extracted and uses Nanozorb patented technology to break down the CBD so your body can absorb 100 percent of the CBD promised!

It comes on the same day the Supreme Court is due to hear arguments on access to the abortion drug mifepristone, setting off a summer ruling that could have major implications for abortion rights.\nBiden’s advisers believe Tuesday’s visit will create a stark contrast between the Democratic slate’s vision for health care and reproductive rights and the proposals made by Republicans. It comes amid a campaign slamming Trump for threatening to repeal the Affordable Care Act if elected to a second term.\n«President Biden, Vice President Harris and Democrats want to expand access, make health care more affordable for all, and protect reproductive freedom,» said Anita Dunn, senior adviser to the president. «Republicans want to gut health care, raise prices, and take away these basic reproductive freedoms even more than they’ve already been threatened.»\nThe trip comes as the Biden campaign is eyeing North Carolina as a possible November election opportunity after Biden lost the state to Trump by 1.3 percentage points in 2020. A Marist poll conducted this month found no clear front-runner in the Trump race receives 51% support to Biden’s 48% among registered voters, with a margin of error of 3.6 percentage points.\nThe North Carolina trip marks the last battleground state the president visits on his post-State of the Union tour. In less than three weeks, he traveled to Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada and Arizona, as well as New Hampshire and Texas. Before Tuesday’s trip, campaign officials argued that southern states like North Carolina and Georgia were a «critical part» of the president’s path to re-election.\nBiden advisers have long signaled their intention to put health care at the center of the 2024 campaign, and Biden and Harris are set to make their case in the latest state to expand Medicaid to low-income adults.\nThe pair is expected to take advantage of a recent budget proposal from the Republican Study Committee calling for numerous changes and cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, among other government programs. This would include ending federal subsidies for middle- and higher-income Americans, removing protections for people with pre-existing conditions, reversing Medicare’s ability to negotiate drug prices and making changes to state Medicaid programs.\nDunn argued that the GOP plan shows that «the Affordable Care Act is still under strong attack from Republican officials.»\nIn contrast, Biden and Harris are expected to highlight the success of the Affordable Care Act and discuss efforts to expand access to health care and lower prescription drug costs.\nHarris, who has served as the administration’s leading voice on abortion, will try to contrast their desire to protect reproductive rights with Republican attempts to curtail them, including taking aim at Trump’s picks of three Supreme Court justices who helped end the constitutional right to abortion in 2022. The campaign believes reproductive rights will be a galvanizing issue for voters heading into the November election.\nBiden’s team also hopes the popularity of the Affordable Care Act and proposals to lower health care and prescription drug costs will resonate with voters at the polls. Democrats seized on the GOP’s fiscal 2025 budget proposal released last week as evidence of how Republicans will manage health care if they win the White House and control of Congress this fall.\nThe proposed budget calls for ending federal premium subsidies for middle- and higher-income Americans. That aid, which expires at the end of 2025, was part of the 2021 American Rescue Plan and the 2022 Inflation Relief Act that Democrats pushed through Congress.\nIt would also remove the Affordable Care Act’s ironclad federal protections for those with pre-existing conditions and allow states to offer less comprehensive policies. The goal would be to lower the cost of coverage to attract more younger, healthier consumers and increase competition in the market. States will be able to limit how much extra insurers can charge those with pre-existing conditions, and they will operate federally subsidized pools of guaranteed coverage that will cover high-risk enrollees.\nObamacare currently limits how much insurers can charge enrollees in their 50s and early 60s, making their coverage more affordable but raising premiums for younger consumers.\nThe budget would also make Medicaid a so-called block grant program, giving states a fixed amount of federal funding instead of the current open-ended system that is based on state spending. It would also shift funding for children in Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program, known as CHIP, into a group subsidy that families could use to buy coverage.\nChanges to the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid and CHIP will cut $4.5 trillion in federal spending over a decade, according to the White House.\nThe committee would also end Medicare’s ability to negotiate drug prices for the first time, a power it received as part of the Inflation Reduction Act. The Biden administration claims the provision will reduce spending and the deficit.\nThe committee’s proposal would also repeal other provisions of the drug law, including capping monthly insulin costs at $35 and annual drug out-of-pocket costs at $2,000 for Medicare enrollees.\nOther changes to Medicare would include implementing «premium support» — which critics deride as vouchers — to allow Medicare enrollees to buy private health insurance plans. The committee says these plans would compete with traditional Medicare, but opponents say it could raise premiums for many seniors.\nMeanwhile, Biden has been touting his health care record to highlight his efforts compared to his predecessor and presumed rival in the 2024 presidential election.\nA record number of people – more than 21 million – have signed up for 2024 coverage in the Affordable Care Act exchanges. Increased federal premium subsidies lured many consumers to Obamacare policies.\nIn total, more than 45 million people gained coverage through the Affordable Care Act, according to the Biden administration.\nIn addition, the president has focused his efforts on lowering drug prices, primarily through the Inflation Reduction Act.\nIn addition, Biden called for making Obamacare’s enhanced subsidies permanent, increasing the number of drugs Medicare can cover annually to at least 50, expanding caps on insulin and out-of-pocket drug costs for those with private insurance, and provided Medicaid coverage for low-income adults in the 10 states that did not expand Medicaid.\nBiden will also use the campaign stop in North Carolina to highlight the state’s recent expansion of health insurance to more than 400,000 residents, thanks to the Affordable Care Act.\nIn December, North Carolina became the 40th state to expand Medicaid for low-income adults. Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper has championed the Affordable Care Act provision for years, finally convincing the Republican-led Legislature to drop its longtime opposition.\nNorth Carolina is also the first state since 2018 to expand Medicaid through the legislative process. Since 2017, voters have approved ballot expansion in seven GOP-led states, most recently in South Dakota in 2022.\nNorth Carolina has estimated that about 600,000 residents could become eligible under expansion. Individuals earning up to $20,783 and families of four with incomes of $43,100 are eligible.\nTen GOP-led states — including Texas, Georgia and Florida, which have among the highest uninsured rates in the nation — have yet to expand Medicaid. That leaves 1.5 million Americans in the so-called coverage gap — earning too much to qualify for Medicaid but too little to qualify for federal premium subsidies for Obamacare coverage, according to KFF, a nonpartisan research group .\nThe Biden administration tried to persuade more of the abstention states to expand Medicaid. Under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, expansion states would receive enhanced federal funding for two years, which would help offset state spending during that period.\nAlthough several Republican legislatures have considered Medicaid expansions this year, none have yet approved them. State committees in Kansas and Georgia rejected the bills last week. Legislation to expand Medicaid in Mississippi passed the state House last month and is being considered by the Senate.\nThe president’s visit also comes amid what is expected to be one of the most competitive gubernatorial races this year. Attorney General Josh Stein, a moderate Democrat, and Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, a right-winger with a history of inflammatory comments, will face off in the November race to replace Cooper, who is term-limited.", "domain": "health"}

In case of insufficiency or complete absence of insulin, glucose cannot enter the cell, which results in energy deficiency and in order to survive the cell seeks other sources of energy and finds them. Most often it’s fat tissue.\nAs a result of lipolysis, the cell obtains the energy necessary for survival, but residues (ketone bodies or acetone) which always form if this route of energy production is used start intoxicating the body and at a substantial concentration can lead to ketoacidosis and even lethal outcome.\nCurrently, more than 90% of insulin consumed worldwide is produced by genetic engineering . The most promising from the clinical point of view are genetically modified or analog insulins with either ultra short or long, peakless action. In some patients these medicinal products ensure most complete disease compensation.\nThere are many forms of insulin used for treatment of diabetes mellitus.\nThey are classified according to onset of action and effect duration:\nWorld Diabetes Day is celebrated annually on the birthday of Frederick Banting (November 14), in recognition of his merits as one of the discoverers of insulin, Frederick Banting , born on November 14, 1891.\nDiabetes mellitus (further referred to as DM) occurs in the population of all countries and among all ethnicities. DM is a prime medical and social problem of humanity ( as AIDS and cancer) due to high prevalence, chronicity and impossibility of full recovery from the disease, possibility of cardiovascular and other complications. According to World Health Organization estimated more than 190 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes mellitus. By 2030 this number is likely to more than double.\nOnly three international pharmaceutical companies have developed and implemented into manufacture the technology of human insulin: Novo Nordisk (Denmark), Eli Lilly (USA) and Sanofi-Aventis (Germany). At the moment they control the worldwide market of insulin, supplies and prices. Each of these companies has its own technology for insulin production.\nAnimal insulin has left the worldwide market , turnover of human genetically engineered insulin stopped growing, the leading place by sales is occupied by the analog insulin of a new generation.\nAccording to the legislation of the Russian Federation, diabetes mellitus qualifies as a socially significant disease. On May 8, 1996, a decree of the President of RF was issued «Regarding measures of state support of people, of patients with diabetes mellitus», and on October 7, 1996 the Federal program «Diabetes mellitus» was initiated.\nThere are more than 10 million people suffering from this disease in Russia – with regards to this parameter our country occupies the fourth place in the world.\nCurrently Russian patients with diabetes mellitus generally «use the needle» of three Western manufacturers, these are Eli Lilly (USA), Novo Nordisk (Denmark) and Sanofi-Aventis (Germany), which are worldwide leaders and occupy approximately 98% of the Russian market of insulin with a volume of more than 350 mln dollars a year.\nAs a matter of fact, the last two companies have their own manufacturing facilities in Russia, but they do not provide a full manufacturing cycle of insulin, but only perform filling of an imported substance. Three Russian companies – «Farmstandart», «Medsintez», and «Gerofarm» - manufacture insulin, but they produce it on the basis of substance purchased abroad, so they actually only mix it with solutions and perform packaging of produce.\nIn 2012 enterprise LLC «ENDOGENICS» was registered as part of a Russian-Chinese project. Charter capital of LLC «ENDOGENICS» amounts to 100 000 USD. As their contribution the participants deposited the following shares:\nChinese company Gan&Lee Pharmaceuticals - 51% of the charter capital (51 000 USD)\nRussian company LLC «Farmaktiv» - 49% of the charter capital (49 000 USD)\nJoint Russian and Chinese venture company was created in order to construct a manufacturing facility for production of a full range of finished drug products of insulin. According to previously signed agreements, LLC «ENDOGENICS» will receive from the Chinese company Gan&Lee Pharmaceuticals the technology for full cycle of production of classical genetically engineered insulin and its analog of ultra-short and long action for 70 mln USD.\nChinese company Gan&Lee Pharmaceuticals possesses a proprietary technology for full cycle of production of a full range of insulins. This technology of «molecular chaperones» was first discovered by the company Gan&Lee Pharmaceuticals, patents for this technology are received in many countries of the world.\nChinese company Gan&Lee Pharmaceuticals will transfer to LLC «ENDOGENICS» the production technology for substances of the full range of analog and гgenetically engineered forms of insulin: Glargine, Lispro, Aspart Lispro Mix, Aspart Mix, and also other forms.\nEstimated cost of construction of a manufacturing facility in RF for production of all the aforementioned insulins will amount to 140 mln USD ( including 70 mln USD investment into manufacturing technology).\nLLC «ENDOGENICS» is planning to transfer a 20% share of the company to the state RF. LLC «ENDOGENICS» is planning to pay 3% royalty from the sales of insulins in RF to Gan&Lee Pharmaceuticals, in its turn Gan&Lee Pharmaceuticals is willing to transfer to LLC «Farmaktiv» its share of 51%.\nIn case of project implementation, the state budget will receive more than 100-150 mln USD yearly as the following revenues:\n100 mln USD planned saving on purchase of domestically produced insulins\n30-40 mln USD income tax and 5-10 mln USD as dividends\nOfficially more than 3 mln patients (type 1 and 2, those included into the official registry of patients RF) are entirely dependent on supplies of insulin by Western manufacturers, the real number of not diagnosed patients with diabetes mellitus in RF is 13,6 mln people. ( see full interview of Head endocrinologist of the country, academician of RAS and RAMS, director of the Endocrinological scientific centre Ivan Dedov in the newspaper «Argumenty i fakty»..\nInterruption of insulin supply even for a month would mean death for the majority of these people.\nThe state spends more than 350 mln USD from public funds on purchase of insulins,thus investing into the economy of Western countries.\n. In the current political situation involving implementation of sanctions against Russia, acquisition of modern technologies by a Russian parastatal company and creation on their basis of a full manufacturing cycle for all types of insulin on the territory of the Russian Federation will ensure return on investment for the project in less than a year and will provide an opportunity of complete and definitive refusal of dependency from other countries.\nImplementation of the «Insulin» project will help all Russian pharmaceutical manufacturers to overcome the «mental stumbling block» and lay a course for full import substitution.", "domain": "health"}

As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.\nWhen it comes to different types of supplements, we tend to hear a lot of rumors and controversies. This is especially true for vitamin supplements. If you have read a little biology in your life, then you would know how important B12 is for the human body. This vitamin plays an important role in keeping you healthy. But what is the actual function of this vitamin?\nWell, the job of this vitamin is to keep our heart, nervous system and blood in its top notch form. And the story doesn’t just end here because it also plays a role in making DNA, which is how our bodies are made up genetically. It acts as a fuel for brain, helps in metabolism and similarly it plays a crucial role in the absorption of food and nutrients. It also acts as a preventive measure against a certain kind of anemia in which you feel fatigue and exhausted. The next question that must be popping up in your mind would be related to its source. Well, most of the animal related foods including dairy, meat and eggs contain Vitamin B12. However, we need to be careful with the amount of consumption with this vitamin because excessive consumption can lead to other health problems which arise primarily due to inflammation.\nIs this vitamin B12 supplement recommended to vegetarians and vegans as well? The answer to this question is yes. This however does not highlight the fact that plant based nutrition is not sufficient or wholesome. In fact, we know that plant based diet has much more nutrition that one could get from an animal based diet. Yet this should not overshadow the importance of Vitamin B12. It is extremely important to note that every nutrition and vitamin has a role to play for the betterment of the human body which simply means we need to ensure that we consume all types of nutrition in recommended quantities to ensure our health remains top-notch. So this Vitamin B12 supplement is not only important for those people who consume only a plant-based diet, but also for those as well who eat animal-based or both types of diet. Sometimes people have issues with the absorption of Vitamin B12 from an animal-based diet. Similarly, the human body could have a number of issues in its manufacturing that necessitate the consumption of a Vitamin B12 supplement even for those people who normally ingest food with Vitamin B12.\nBefore we go any further, it would be a good idea to discuss some of the symptoms of having low levels of vitamin B12 in your body. This primarily includes headaches, yellow skin, confusion, fatigue, faintness (in extreme cases), paranoia, lack of appetite, etc. If you are going through some similar symptoms then this is definitely a weakness in your body and may be a sign that your body might be lacking in Vitamin B12. In fact, it is estimated that 1.5-15% of people in the U.S. are deficient in this important nutrient. Other studies estimate it to be even higher, going up to 39% of the public possibly suffering from a deficiency in B12.\nSo, how do Vitamin B12 supplements fit into this picture? As far as Vitamin B12 supplements are concerned, they are completely safe and quite affordable as well. If you want to remain healthy and full of energy all the time then a good idea would be to incorporate this vitamin supplement into your regular diet to make it more wholesome and well-rounded. Besides, these supplements are very easy to find. It requires a proactive approach from you to purchase this supplement yourself because it is not something prescribed by the doctor. In fact, you have to make the conscious choice of buying this product and staying healthy. It is easily available OTC at many popular convenience and grocery stores.\nBut the biggest problem that we feel today is not of lack of availability, it is of surplus. In simple words, if you go to a drug store or any online store for that matter the chances are you are going to feel overwhelmed by the whole range of product offerings available there. With too many choices available, it becomes hard to identify which is the best. So continue reading to get directions about how you can purchase the best Vitamin B12 supplement.\nLet’s first discuss some of the natural sources of this extremely important vitamin. Basically, you will find this vitamin in beef liver, cheese, red meat, dairy, crab, eggs, etc. A cursory glance at the sources of vitamin B12 reflects that the vegans might be at the risk of low consumption of foods that are the natural sources of Vitamin B12, and are therefore advised to supplement. Let’s explore this furthermore.\nBasically, this vitamin is made or produced in our gut. So if you are eating a wholesome diet and this diet is properly being digested, then the chances are that you are getting a reasonable amount of Vitamin B12. But if you are having a supplement then it is like a guarantee that you won’t have any problem that might be associated with the low production of Vitamin B12. Don’t fall into the hype of super-dosages though. Your body only needs a certain amount, more or less and you’re bound to find yourself with issues.\nOwing to our monotonous and hectic routine, we often find ourselves in anxiety, fatigue, and low energy overall which means we might be low on Vitamin B12. Supplementation of Vitamin B12 could really fix these problems that are extremely prevalent in the working class of the population.\nShould You Supplement?\nOne of the reasons why opting for supplementation of Vitamin B12 is smart is because of the absorption factors. Because of different reasons, our bodies absorb minerals and other nutrition at different rates. This absorption rate also varies when it comes to supplements and foods. There are a number of factors behind that and going into those would require a lot of technical expertise. So, sticking with the basics, what you need to know is the difference in absorption rates is also true in the case of different supplements. There could be instances where a person is taking vitamin supplementation but it is not being utilized properly because of low absorption.\nSometimes, stomach acid is the culprit of low absorption in our digestive system. And just like any other nutrient, Vitamin B12 also cannot be absorbed in its presence. What it requires for absorption is a glycoprotein which along with other factors allows the supplement to pass.\nWhat Are The Health Benefits?\nThis is closely related to the symptoms of lack of enough Vitamin B12 in the human body as discussed earlier. If there isn’t enough amount of Vitamin B12 in the body it could have different issues but let’s look at the positive side. It has various benefits, especially for body systems. Let’s discuss a few in detail.\nThe presence of this vitamin in the body serves as a protection mechanism against different kinds of cancer and is now being studied alongside folate for such purposes. Basically, its presence both prevents and helps in treating different cancers including breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, and few others. So if you are taking a vitamin B12 supplement, you are protecting yourself against such diseases.\nSimilarly, Vitamin B12 also has a protective role to play against diseases related to heart. Vitamin B12 helps aid in the reduction of homocysteine levels, which is believed to be a major risk factor for heart disease. Make no mistake that heart diseases are on top of the list in causes of deaths of people in a lot of countries. If your Vitamin B12 levels are low then you need to quickly get them replenished with the supplementation of Vitamin B12, otherwise, you could run into different heart problems. Biologically speaking, Vitamin B12 is beneficial for the overall cardiovascular system. Research shows that people suffering from heart diseases usually have a deficiency of this vitamin. Suffice it to say that the consumption of this vitamin could a long way in making sure your heart remains healthy and strong. There are of course other ways as well.\nResearch shows that it could also play a substantial role in the prevention of an all-time enigmatic disease – Alzheimer’s. While no proper cure or scientific procedure is discovered or invented to get rid of this disease, we can certainly take precautions to prevent it in the future. So if you have a family history of this disease or other similar neuropsychiatric disorders, then it is always a good idea to keep your stores of Vitamin B12 filled to the brim by all means.\nThe most important benefit of consuming Vitamin B12 supplement is that it boosts your energy levels if you are deficient. Fatigue and low energy are very prevalent among the people who work from 9 to 5 and this factor certainly hinders their performance at home and at the office. This could be due to the deficiency of this vitamin. So you could take supplementation to get back your agility and alertness. On a side note, you will notice that many energy drinks also boost vitamin B12 in their drink.\nIf you have enough stores of Vitamin B12 in your body then you can better combat depression. Vitamin deficiencies overall have the tendency of aggravating anxiety and depression. People suffering from this condition could definitely try a Vitamin B12 supplement.\nIf you are physically active, workout, play sports or know little about bodybuilding, then you would understand the importance of proper metabolism of protein. Vitamin B12 has a role to play in improving metabolism as well. This has a lot of benefits that translate into improving the other bodily functions as well.\nBrain shrinkage is a problem in which people are on the edge and sometimes extremely tired mentally. While there are very few people who actually suffer from this problem, it may be a good idea to supplement your diet with Vitamin B12 if you have a very hectic routine.\nIt shouldn’t come as a surprise that Vitamin B12 has skin implications as well. The stores of vitamin B12 aids in making your skin feel healthier and fresh. Skin conditions like blemishes, acne, dryness, and others can be prevented and combated with Vitamin B12. Similarly, vitamin B12 has implications for your hair as well. Just pick up any hair care product off the shelf of a supermarket and you will notice that it has Vitamin B12. It helps in giving a shinier and healthier look to your hair. In addition to that, you could also improve the structure and look of your nails with this supplement. Many of you would be aware of the fact that vitamin deficiencies in your body become visible in the form of white spots on your nails. Once you start taking the vitamin B12 supplement, these spots on your nails would totally go away and they would look clean and tidy.\nApart from that, high cholesterol levels in your body can also be countered by boosting the stores of Vitamin B12. Normally doctors don’t prescribe it as a treatment rather it’s an addition and a sort of natural way to bring down the level of cholesterol. The high levels of cholesterol basically clog the arteries, resulting in an increased risk for strokes, paralysis, and other negative health outcomes. So in a way supplementation of vitamin B12 also helps prevent strokes if your normal diet is lacking. You are highly recommended to take this supplement as a preventive measure if you have a family history of such diseases.\nThings to Consider\nNormally when we think of vitamin B12, processed food comes to mind; but this isn’t right. This is definitely not the smartest way to go about it because these processed foods also contain other synthetic sources that might not allow the optimal absorption of vitamin B12. In other words, while these products may have vitamin B12, it is not guaranteed that your body requirements get fulfilled. What you need is a non-synthetic vitamin B12 supplement that gets completely absorbed. More importantly, these fortified or processed foods also have added ingredients like sugar, additives, and stuff like that which could have negative health implications or affect the absorption of vitamin B12. Put it simply, if you are given a choice to consume B12 from a natural source and from a processed can of food, always go for the former. And that’s why you ought to first buy a Vitamin B12 supplement.\nIf you are concerned about ingesting vitamin B12 from an animal-based source then it is essential for you to check the source. Even if you are not a vegetarian, it is much better to consume Vitamin B12 from a plant bases source than its counterpart. The reason is that the plant-sourced vitamin supplements are free of any allergens and they are mostly non-GMO. It is imperative to check the label of the supplement to be sure of this. On a side note, the way to approach supplements should be similar to your approach to normal food. You should always be knowledgeable about what’s written on the back of the label because after all, you are spending money on it.\nThe next tip pertaining to supplements is that you buy methyl B12. In this regard, you should be aware of the fact that there are two types of vitamin B12 supplements; namely cyanocobalamin and methylcobalamin. Without going into the technicalities and science, you need to ensure that you buy the latter. Sometimes the manufacturer uses methyl instead of the whole name. Although explaining the difference would require going into the technicalities of the product, to keep it simple, you need to understand that methyl B12 has better absorption capabilities. The other one is synthetic in nature which as mentioned earlier could have negative health implications for your body.\nThe next tip pertains to the recommended form of Vitamin B12 supplement. While Vitamin B12 supplement is definitely available in the tablet form we recommend using it in sprays, liquid, or sublingual form. The main difference between the forms is that in the tablet you need to properly digest it before it enters your bloodstream. The same is not true in the case of sublingual. They immediately melt once you put them on your tongue and thus become part of the bloodstream. The same is the case for liquids and sprays. Basically, it sort of bypasses the whole process of digestion and therefore the results are seen quickly. However, you need to watch out that your sublingual supplement does not have any added sugar or other artificial ingredients to boost the flavor of the supplement.\nThe next important thing to keep in mind before you start using a vitamin B12 supplement is the dosage. In this regard, you might get a bit confused because different brands will be suggesting different dosages and you will notice a lot of variation. It is important to note that dosages above 5000 micrograms should be taken with the prescription of a doctor and in extreme cases. A rule of thumb for vitamin B12 supplements to remember is that more is not always good for your health. Vegans might be tempted to using higher dosages of Vitamin B12 because of the realization that they are not eating animal-based protein and thus not getting the optimal supply of vitamin B12. That would be a wrong starting point because you need to first look at your current fitness level to assess the dosage amount. If you are feeling pretty low on energy levels then you can up your dosage. If you are unsure about your current fitness level then it is better to start at 1000 microgram and gradually increase to assess what’s the optimum dosage for you. If you want to consume this supplement daily then it would be better to opt for a lower dosage. As always, we always advise you to discuss with your doctor before beginning a supplementation regimen. If you are not deficient in vitamin B12, you could actually do more harm than good.\n1. Jarrow Formulas Methylcobalamin (Methyl B12) Review\nBuy on Amazon\nIt is a widespread belief that Jarrow Formulas Methylobalamin is one of the best supplements out there. It is basically sublingual, which means you need to place it under the tip of the tongue to achieve the maximum level of absorption. It is worth mentioning that the supplement industry does not have many regulations and quality control mechanisms. This necessitates buying a brand that you can fully trust and a bottle of Jarrow Formulas is definitely the answer. In terms of budget, it is reasonable and quite affordable. All the advantages of sublingual supplements hold true for this one as well since it does not require digestion of the supplement.\nThis supplement can provide all the necessary nutrients to ensure B12 gets fully absorbed into your system. You will notice a sharp positive difference in your energy levels once you start taking a g5 lozenge each day. Taking these lozenges is a much better option than getting a shot in the doctor’s office both in terms of convenience and budget considerations. Another piece of advice that you could follow is to incorporate B complex with methyl folate because this could also increase the absorption of Vitamin B12 in your body. People who are especially low on B12 need to utilize different supplements for maximum absorption of B12.\n2. Nature Made Vitamin B12 Timed Release Review\nBuy on Amazon\nAnother product that is worth reviewing in this article is B12 Timed release tablets by Nature Made. If you know a little about the vitamins market, then you definitely must have come across the name of Nature Made as it is reputable and credible. With all the positive health implications of Vitamin B12 in a tablet, this product is perfect for you. The best thing about is that it has no artificial elements like additives, colors, gluten, etc. that manufacturers add to give flavor. What is different about this B12 supplement is that the benefits get spread over time so there is no dumping of B12 in your body. In terms of the specifics, a bottle has 160 tablets in it and each contains 1000 micrograms of Vitamin B12. These tablets are the answer to your low energy levels so don’t hesitate to try these.\n3. Kirkland Sublingual B12 Review\nBuy on Amazon\nThe last product that we will review in this article is Sublingual B12 by Kirkland which is another renowned manufacturer of supplements. Each sublingual has approximately 5000 micrograms of Vitamin B-12. Remember, these tablets are sublingual which means instant maximum absorption. A bottle of Kirkland Sublingual B-12 has 300 tablets. An important point to note is that these are cherry flavored but don’t worry no additives or preservatives are in it.\nTo conclude our discussion, Vitamin B12 is something that is essential for the human body.

One of the largest misconceptions is how they get into Pittsburgh homes. What causes you to get bed bugs? Well, it isn't because you left a door open or that those bed bugs found a crack in your foundation wall. Bed bugs don't live in your yard or in your landscaping. They're carried into your home. They may be brought in by a next door neighbor, a friend, a family member or even by you. They are tiny bugs that are easily missed when they climb into stuff. This is why bed bugs are so difficult to prevent. So, how can you keep bed bugs from getting into your Pittsburgh home? The secret is to be proactive.\nProactive Bed Bug Prevention\n- Learn as much as you can about bed bugs. The more you know about where they hide, what signs they leave and what threats they present to you, the more likely you are to prevent an infestation.\n- When you spend the night anywhere, be sure to do an inspection for bed bugs and their warning signs, such as black streaks, brown stains, shed insect skins, tiny white eggs, etc.\n- When you stay somewhere for more than a day, be sure to put your laundry in a sealed plastic bag. Bed bugs are highly attracted to items that have touched your skin and soaked up the oils in your skin.\n- When you get home from staying somewhere, put all of your clothing through a hot wash and a dryer cycle that is longer than 30 minutes. High heat kills bed bugs in all stages of development.\n- Teach others how to detect bed bugs and why they should be concerned about them. Can bed bugs kill you? Probably not. But they can cause you to be sick. Prolonged exposure to bed bugs can cause anemia, anxiety and insomnia, among other issues. There is also recent evidence that bed bugs have the ability to spread the bacterium that causes Chagas disease. There are no current, verifiable cases of Chagas disease contracted from a bed bug, but it is best to be cautious.\nIf you take these steps, you may be able to catch bed bugs before they catch you off guard. Once inside your home, bed bugs will go from your luggage, duffle bag, pocketbook, clothing and other items to infest the areas where you sleep. How do bed bugs find you? They're drawn to the carbon dioxide you exhale while sleeping.\nWhen bed bugs feed on you, you may not know it at first. The initial bites you'll receive are likely to be bites from newly hatched bed bug nymphs. These bites don't get irritated, red and itchy because nymphs don't inject as much saliva into the wound. Over time, with more exposure to bed bug saliva and larger, adult bed bugs feeding on you, you'll begin to notice the bites. Bed bugs bite multiple times, so the bites they leave on your skin will look like they follow a path across your skin. If you start seeing bites that follow this pattern, take a look for other bed bug signs. Inspect your mattress and box spring first. These are common locations bed bugs live. But they are far from the only places they'll live. They can be in your furniture, under your rugs, behind your baseboards and even inside your walls.\nReactive Bed Bug Control\nOkay. I think I have bed bugs, what are my options? There are many options but only one that is guaranteed to solve your problem and rid your home of your bed bug infestation. It is best to contact a pest control expert with experience in bed bug elimination.\nIf you live in Pittsburgh, reach out to Witt Pest Management for all your pest control needs. We are Pittsburgh's oldest and most advanced pest control provider. We'll make sure bed bugs are completely eliminated—the first time.", "domain": "health"}

SCA occurs when the heart stops beating, abruptly and without warning, after electrical impulses in the heart become rapid or chaotic. Without treatment, death can occur in just minutes.\nOn average, an SCA occurs about every 90 seconds,1 affecting seemingly healthy individuals both young and old alike, including 7,000 children and teens each year.\nClose to 500,000 Americans die from SCA each year, making it a leading cause of death in North America. Two-thirds of SCA deaths occur while at home, work, or play, while the remaining one-third of SCA-related deaths are found in hospitals.\nAccording to the American Heart Association, nearly 90% of out-of-hospital SCAs are fatal.2\nDara, Martin, and Liam above (not their real names) are extremely fortunate. All three are alive today, thanks to quick-thinking bystanders who were trained in administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the ready availability of automated external defibrillators (AEDs). An SCA is often reversible if addressed within a few minutes. The chances of surviving an SCA decrease by 10% for every minute the affected individual goes without CPR.\nSCA Versus Heart Attack\nSCA is not a heart attack; instead, SCA could be considered as an electrical problem, while a heart attack is a plumbing problem.1\nSCA is usually triggered by ventricular fibrillation, an electrical disturbance that results in a loss of heart function. This “power failure” adversely impacts the supply of blood to the brain and other vital organs. Without treatment—consisting of the delivery of an electrical shock, either via an AED or an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD)3—death can occur within minutes.\nConversely, a heart attack, known as a myocardial infarction, occurs when the flow of blood to the heart via the arteries is interrupted or blocked, usually by plaque. This blockage, similar to a backup in a plumbing line, must be “unclogged” with drugs or surgery in order to avoid damage to the heart or other adverse occurrences.\nImportantly, SCA and heart attack signs and symptoms vary widely. Signs of SCA, if they occur at all, include sudden collapse, lack of pulse or breathing, and a loss of consciousness. One-quarter of adults treated by emergency responders for SCA had no prior symptoms.2\nIn comparison, heart attack symptoms such as chest pressure or pain, nausea or vomiting, cold sweats, and dizziness may occur days or even weeks before a heart attack.\nIf either an SCA or a heart attack is suspected, emergency medical services (911) should be called immediately.\nSCA Risk Factors\nBecause SCA strikes without warning and indiscriminately, it can be challenging to pinpoint its source and causes. However, the Heart Rhythm Society has identified certain factors clinicians can use to estimate SCA risk in patients, as follows:\n- A previous heart attack: the majority of people who die of SCA show signs of a previous heart attack\n- A family history of sudden cardiac death, heart failure, or massive heart attack\n- An abnormal heart rate or rhythm of an unknown cause\n- An unusually rapid heart rate that comes and goes\n- Episodes of fainting of an unknown cause\n- The presence of a congenital heart defect before and after a surgical repair attempt\n- A low ejection fraction: the ejection fraction is a measurement of how much blood is pumped by the ventricles with each heartbeat, with a healthy heart typically pumping 55% or more of its blood with each beat; the pumping of less than 35% indicates an elevated risk of SCA\nTechnology for the Early Detection of SCA Probability\nIndividuals suspected to be at a high risk for SCA are usually referred to cardiac specialists, who use a number of diagnostic tests and procedures4 to stratify SCA risk. These tests include electrocardiography (ECG), a simple, painless evaluation that detects and records the heart's electrical activity. The test monitors how fast the heart is beating and its rhythm (steady or irregular). ECG also records the strength and timing of electrical signals as they pass through each part of the heart, and can pinpoint evidence of heart damage or previous or current heart attack.\nECG can also be used to spot another deadly SCA red flag known as long QT syndrome (LQTS). The ECG measures the heart’s electrical impulses as a series of waves labeled with the letters P, Q, R, S, and T. During SCA risk assessments, physicians focus on the heart’s QT interval, which is the time it takes the muscle to contract and then refill with blood before the next contraction.5\nLQTS is present when the heart muscle takes longer than usual to recharge between beats. LQTS patients are at a greater risk of SCA due to the threat of torsade de pointes (TdP). Translated as “twisting of points,” TdP is a life-threatening ventricular tachycardia found in LQTS patients that makes the waves on an ECG monitor appear “twisted.” 5\nLQTS is either inherited (congenital) or acquired. Acquired LQTS can result from certain disease states; electrolyte imbalances; or adverse reactions to some medications including volatile anesthetics, antibiotics, antinausea drugs, and antipsychotic agents.\nLQTS can be treated either with medications such as β-blockers and anti-arrhythmic medications, or, in some cases, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) insertion.\nDuring perioperative and critical care treatment, arenas in which many LQTS-triggering drugs are used, LQTS patients face an increased risk of developing TdP or other deadly cardiac arrhythmias, setting the stage for SCA. Therefore, monitoring of the QT interval in LQTS patients throughout the hospitalization period is recommended to reduce the likelihood of an in-hospital SCA.6\nManual calculation of the QT interval is cumbersome and therefore not feasible in the high-stress settings of perioperative and critical care. Instead, the use of equipment that provides continuous automatic monitoring of the QT interval can help to increase the safety of patients suffering from or at risk of developing LQTS during surgery or the provision of critical care.\nSudden cardiac arrest can be deadly, but it can be stopped in its tracks with proper monitoring. The display of QT interval data on the patient monitor as well as the presence of sophisticated arrhythmia alarms can go a long way toward detecting an individual’s risk of TdP and preventing SCA.\n- Heart Rhythm Society.

People close to me know one of my guiding quotes is “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle.” Treating people with grace, dignity, and compassion regardless of their behavior is a model of human interaction I strive to embody in my daily encounters, close relationships, and counseling sessions. I embody a non-pathologizing, collaborative, strengths-based approach to therapy.\nThe solutions to our world’s most challenging problems- world hunger, access to clean drinking water, treatment of infectious disease, international terrorism, and violence against women- may lie inside the mind of any one of us. However, due to the country, city, neighborhood, schools, and religion we are born into… our sex, race, and gender… how family, friends, and strangers treat us… the possibility of reaching our potential is either maximized or minimized by our life circumstances. Sometimes these circumstances work for us and sometimes they appear to work against us. I acknowledge we all have constraints, barriers, and obstacles we have to deal with- and, I view these as opportunities to gather strength, resilience, and motivation; to learn, think creatively, strategize, grow, and persevere; to be humble, to be bold, and to let yourself be transformed.\nDomestically and internationally, I have provided trauma-informed services with children, adults, and families with varying levels of needs- from private practice, to school and community-based, to inpatient residential treatment. I utilize an effective mix of person-centered (i.e., you choose your goals, we work together), evidence-based (i.e., research backs it up) and strengths-based (i.e., honing in on assets, successes, and what is going right) approaches.\nAs a registered Marriage and Family Therapy Intern (IMF #89547) with the California Board of Behavioral Sciences, I currently provide therapy for eating disorder recovery at the PHP and IOP levels of care at the Lotus Collaborative in San Francisco, CA. Some particular areas of clinical interest include: Eating Disorders & Recovery, Body Image, Addiction & Recovery, and College and Young Adult Issues (e.g., transitioning to college, social anxiety, stress management, low self-esteem, etc.)\nI lean on evidenced-based therapy models like Internal Family Systems Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Interventions. I have also completed a 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training in India and have received additional training in Trauma-Sensitive Yoga and incorporate the philosophy and practice of Yoga and mindfulness into therapy. I help people explore their inner worlds and relationships, let go of negative beliefs about themselves, learn strategies to manage distress, and tap into their innate resources, wisdom, and strength. What does all this psychology jargon mean?\nPerson-centered therapy means just that- therapy is centered around your needs and goals. One of the basic tenets of person-centered therapy is that you are the expert of your own experience (i.e., the client always knows best). The role of the therapist is to be “real” (i.e., genuine and transparent), offer unconditional acceptance, and sensitively and accurately understand the client’s subjective view of the world (i.e., your thoughts and emotions).\nA trauma-informed, systemic approach involves assessing how the systems people are embedded in function and contribute to the concerns and resources they bring to the table. A systemic therapist will explore the patterns of interaction in your relationships with family members, significant others, friends, and colleagues and the interplay of a variety of individual, relationship, family, community, and societal factors on your mental health and well-being.\nInternal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy is a model of therapy which asserts that the nature of the mind is to be subdivided into parts- each of which contains valuable qualities. However, these parts can be forced out of their valuable roles by life experiences and can reorganize the internal system in unhealthy ways. Another important tenet of IFS is the belief that, in addition to these parts, everyone is at their core a Self containing many crucial leadership qualities (The 8 C’s: Confidence, Compassion, Courage, Creativity, Clarity, Calmness, Connection, and Curiosity).\nDialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of Cognitive Behavior Therapy which teaches people practical skills to improve emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness abilities, and interpersonal effectiveness. The goal of DBT is to teach you the skills to improve your quality of life and replace ineffective behaviors and thoughts with adaptive, life-enhancing behaviors and thoughts. DBT supports people in balancing the emotional with the logical and change with acceptance.\nNarrative Therapy separates people from problems (i.e., you are not the problem, the problem is the problem) and deconstructs the stories we tell ourselves about the world and who we are. How you frame a story might be oppressive, perpetuating a problem, or prohibiting you from leading a fulfilling life. Narrative therapists gently guide you as you re-author story lines- shifting your perspective from problem-saturated to hopeful and empowering.\nI also integrate body and mindfulness based techniques into therapy since working with the mind-body connection is very healing especially for people who have experienced trauma.\nThe cultural mental health stigma and shortage of skilled mental health professionals are critical issues facing the world today. Mental health issues emerge from a combination of genetics, neurobiology, psychological influences, early childhood experiences, relational dynamics, and environmental factors. Many people wait to see a professional until their concerns are unbearable, instead of taking a preventative approach the moment they feel something is off. I define therapy as a journey to the heart of being yourself and nourishment for the soul. Therapy is nourishment, education, support, and guidance in understanding, solving, and coping with the events and experiences that tire our mind, body, and soul.\nAt some point, everyone experiences a sense of “I just don’t feel like myself” or “Something is off/up/wrong/missing/etc.”- this is normal. If something feels off in your body, you see a doctor. When you have a toothache, you go to the dentist. When you’re struggling with heartbreak, grief, or stress, consultation with a therapist makes total sense.\nHuman beings share many of the same struggles and needs- we all crave safety and security, connection to others, validation that we are seen and matter, and a sense of purpose in life. As Harry Stack Sullivan would say, “We are all much more human than otherwise.” And yet, the irony and beauty of the human experience is… even though 99% of our DNA is similar, we all vary– each one of us is refreshingly original. “A flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it. It just blooms.” My hope is that you are always blooming- simply, in your own way.\nCopyright © 2015 Mariana Prutton. All rights reserved.", "domain": "health"}

Moderate amounts of alcohol are acceptable (one to two drinks a day for men and one drink a day for women), but drinking more than the moderate amount can lead to high blood pressure, stroke, irregular heartbeats, and cardiomyopathy. When feeling stressed, your heart races and blood pressure rises. Extra hormones and increased blood flow during the stress can injure the arteries. Being aware of heart disease risk factors before any signs of illness is essential. By reducing your risk, you can add more years to your life.\nVisit Texas Heart Institute’s Healthy Heart Guide for more information.\nFebruary 16, 2010\nResearchers in California have developed a way to simulate blood flow on a computer to optimize surgical designs. This is a new tool that might help surgeons plan for a life-saving operation named the “Fontan” surgery, which is performed on babies that are born with severe congenital heart defects.\nThe Fontan surgery is one of three surgeries performed after birth to replumb the circulation of children born missing their left ventricles. The goal is to redirect the blood flow so it becomes properly oxygenated, allowing the patient to survive with only one functional pumping chamber. These types of heart conditions were consistently fatal before this surgery in the 1970s.\nThis tool uses imaging data to make a model of an individual baby’s heart and allows doctors to input their surgical designs. Then it applies fluid dynamics to simulate the blood flow after reconstruction. By using this type of technology, surgeons are able to test their plans before operating.\nFind out more about Fontan surgery:\nFebruary 5, 2010\nWhat are some risk factors for heart disease?\nHigh blood cholesterol, smoking tobacco, inactive lifestyle, obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure are all major risk factors for heart disease. However, these are all factors that you can modify, treat, or control by changing your lifestyle.\nWhat are some risk factors that cannot be changed?\nIncreasing age, heredity, and male sex (gender) are factors that cannot be changed. According to the American Heart Association, over 83 percent of people who die of coronary heart disease are 65 or older. Men have a greater risk of heart attack than women do and have attacks earlier in life. African Americans have more severe high blood pressure than Caucasians and a higher risk of heart disease. Heart disease risk is also higher among Mexican Americans, American Indians, native Hawaiians and some Asian Americans.\nWhat are other contributing factors?\nDrinking too much alcohol and stress are some other contributing factors. Scientists have found a relationship between coronary heart disease risk and stress in a person’s life, their health behaviors and socioeconomic status.\nDrinking too much alcohol can lead to high blood pressure, cause heart failure and lead to stroke. It can also contribute to cancer and other diseases, high triglycerides, and produce irregular heartbeats. Drinking too much alcohol also contributes to obesity, alcoholism, suicide and accidents.\nFor more information visit:\nAmerican Heart Association\nFebruary 1, 2010\nThe National Institutes of Health reports that congenital heart defects are responsible for more deaths in the first year of life than any other birth defects.\nThese types of heart defects are structural problems with the heart present at birth. They result when a mishap occurs during heart development after conception and usually before the mother knows she is pregnant. Defects range from simple problems, such as “holes” between chambers of the heart, to very severe malformations, such as complete absence of one or more chambers or valves.\nNot all heart disease in children is congenital. Occasionally, heart disease is not congenital but “acquired,” (Kawasaki disease and rheumatic fever) and may occur during childhood such as heart damage due to infection. Children also can be born with or develop heart rate problems such as slow, fast, or irregular heart beats, known as “arrhythmias”.\nAnyone can be at risk to have a child with a heart defect. Out of 1,000 births, nine babies will have some form of congenital heart disorder, most of which are mild. Your risk may be higher if you or other family members have a baby with a heart defect.\nFor more information, please visit:\nAmerican Heart Association", "domain": "health"}

The seminar was part of the Fall 2019 edition of the CIES Lunch Seminar Series, a series of interdisciplinary research seminars on environmental, natural resource and development issues aimed at the dissemination of research results to academic experts and policymakers.\nMr Piselli, who is a PhD candidate and affiliate member of the Centre for International Environmental Studies, presented the book chapter on ‘EU biodiversity law and its health impacts‘ that he recently co-authored together with EULawSD academic coordinator Riccardo Pavoni. In particular, he focused on the interaction between EU nature conservation legislation and human health and well-being considerations, as articulated in the Birds and Habitats Directives (Dir. 2009/147/EC and Dir.92/43/EEC) and their interpretation by the Court of Justice of the European Union.\nProf Riccardo Pavoni and Dario Piselli, respectively academic coordinator and programme manager of the Jean Monnet Module in EU Law and Sustainable Development, have recently co-authored a chapter on ‘EU Biodiversity Law and its health impacts‘ for the upcoming volume ‘Environmental Health in International and EU Law‘, edited by Prof Stefania Negri and published by Routledge in the new series of Routledge-Giappichelli Studies in Law.\nIn recent years, and with growing intensity since the adoption of the Paris Agreement, the concept of environmental health has emerged as a fundamental prism through which to analyse the complex interplay between global health and environmental law. Environmental risks, ranging from soil, water and air pollution to waste management and land use change, are now estimated to contribute to one quarter of the global disease burden, amounting to at least 13 million deaths per year according to assessments conducted by the World Health Organization.\nDebates proliferate in multilateral fora ranging from the World Health Assembly to the Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, covering aspects including the environmental determinants of health, the social-ecological dynamics of infectious disease emergence, and the direct and indirect health benefits arising from the fight against environmental degradation. As a consequence, the need to harness synergies between these two areas of global policy-making also becomes more urgent.\nWithin this context, the chapter deals with the health impacts of current European legislation in the field of biodiversity, and the possibility for a more effective integration of human health and well-being within its provisions. It addresses the progressive incorporation of health considerations in the Habitats and Birds directives and in the Invasive Alien Species regulation, the use of health-related arguments in the biodiversity jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union, and the linkage between environment and health in the application of the precautionary principle.\nOverall, the chapter argues that if one excludes some limited attempts by the European Commission to mainstream socio-economic benefits in the management of the Natura 2000 network, the Habitats and Birds Directives’ critical role for health essentially remains a side-effect of their conservation aims. In particular, as the Directives continue to suffer from poor implementation and compliance at the national level, the chapter suggests that a more effective integration of human health and well-being within their provisions could significantly strengthen these instruments’ contribution to the achievement of the EU Biodiversity Strategy.\nThe volume ‘Environmental Health in International and EU Law: Current Challenges and Legal Responses‘ is now available for pre-order at this link.", "domain": "health"}

Volunteers including doctors, P.A.s, dentists, nurses, physical therapists, and willing assistants sign up for these programs and spend one or two weeks in Ecuador. Together with Tandana staff and local professionals including interpreters, these groups visit various communities in the canton of Otavalo. We coordinate with the Ecuadorian Consulates in the United States, the Ministry of Public Health, the Quinchinche and Gualsaqui Subcentros, the Mojandita Health Center, and the Union of Indigenous Communities of Quichinche. We have provided over 9,000 patient visits since we began the program in 2007.\nOur Health Care Volunteer Venture groups work mostly in communities pertaining to the Quichinche and Gualsaqui Subcentros (rural health centers). We collaborate with Subcentro staff to visit the more distant communities that are served by their center. The Subcentro staff are mandated to visit these communities regularly, but are given no funding to do so and have very limited supplies of medications. With Tandana’s help, they are able to fulfill their mission of providing care in these distant communities, from which access to the Subcentro is difficult.\nWhen patients arrive at the school, community center, or health center where we are working, Tandana staff and volunteers take their names, ask basic questions, and take vitals, preparing them to see the health care providers. The providers examine the patients, make diagnoses, and prescribe medications from our portable pharmacy. We ask a contribution of $1 per family for the medications in order to promote valuation of the medicines and avoid creating dependency. Following the providers' recommendations, a nurse or other volunteer performs basic laboratory tests, such as those for h. Pylori, urinalysis, pregnancy, and streptococcus, and does ear cleanings as necessary. We are also able to do ultrasounds during our visits. Our providers fill out referral forms for any patients they feel need additional care, tests, or specialists.\nDuring our community visits, we can also address dental, vision, pediatric, and preventative care needs. Local and visiting dentists use our portable dental equipment to fill cavities, extract teeth, and do preventative treatments such as sealants and fluoride. For vision complaints, we conduct vision screening, provide reading glasses to those who need them, and refer those who require more specialized diagnosis and treatment to Fundacion Vista Para Todos. At schools, we weigh and measure the children, a nurse or doctor listens to their hearts and lungs, and we provide parasite medication if the children have not received it within 6 months of our visit.\nFor all of these services, we keep records in our Electronic Medical Records system so that as patients return for subsequent community visits, we have their history accessible.\nThe Tandana Foundation is committed to providing culturally- and individually- respectful care. Volunteers receive an orientation including an introduction to the local culture and a discussion of the cross-cultural aspects of our work. Our team always includes at least one fluent Kichwa speaker, and we take the time to listen to patients fully even while trying to be efficient so that we can see as many patients as possible. We promote a spirit of collaboration with local health care options, including both professionals in Western medicine and traditional healers such as shamans and yachaks. We see our work as complementary rather than contradictory to that of traditional healers, and we make efforts to meet with, discuss with, and learn from local individuals with these specialties.", "domain": "health"}

On Wednesday, November 6, the Gettysburg Area DFA will present a program called “Making the Most of the Affordable Care Act” to help local citizens address questions they may have. According to panelist Jeanne Duffy, “The new health care exchanges may have opened with not-surprising technical problems, but given the insufficiencies of our previous health care ‘system’ the ACA is an important step in the right direction and needs to be given a chance.” Three members of the Democracy For America’s healthcare task force, chaired by Will Lane, will address such questions as, How does the ACA affect you? Who should sign up for the exchanges? What is happening with the Medicaid expansion in PA, and what is the effect on Pennsylvania’s Medicaid-eligible population?\nPanelists for the Meetup include: Jeanne Duffy, Ph.D., Janet Landon, RN, and Moriah Adams of Gettysburg College. Duffy is a retired Director of Foundation, Corporate, and Government Support at Gettysburg College. Duffy’s 18-year career in this field was preceded by 12 years in the corporate world as an analyst, researcher, and writer/editor and ten years as a College English professor. Since her retirement, Duffy has devoted much of her time to researching healthcare issues in the U.S, and advocating for universal healthcare as a human right.

The nurses work 12 hour shifts so that there is a duty nurse present during the day as well as the Nurse Manager. At night there are 2 residential nurses. Nurses also provide sports pitch side support.\nThe Health Centre is contactable 24/7 during term time only:\nTel: 01491 683535. Mob: 07786 396124. (email@example.com).\nThe Oratory School's Health Centre is equipped with:\n- Nurses room – area for assessment and treatment of illnesses/injuries\n- 1 x 4 bed bay – a room for any illness. It has a TV. There are also call bells to ring the nurses if required\n- Doctor’s/Physiotherapy Room\n- Practice Manager Office\n- Nurse’s overnight room\n- Toilet and shower facilities for pupils\n- Small kitchen to provide basic food such as toast, soup, fruit, biscuits\nThe Oratory School Health Centre philosophy\nOur priority is to provide a high standard of health care to all our patients, while maintaining a caring and safe environment for all. We have a team approach to patient care and endeavour to monitor the service provided to patients, to ensure that it meets current standards of excellence.\nWe provide 24/7 cover by trained nurses in the Medical Centre. Our nurses are always pleased to discuss any worries or concerns with pupils and parents. Nurses undergo regular updates and training to ensure care is evidence based and in accordance with current practice. We are there to support pupils with their physical and emotional well-being. We are able to provide homely remedies such as analgesia, antihistamines, cold medication etc. We are also trained in the use of Oxygen, Entonox, Salbutamol Nebulisers and Adrenaline which we have on site for medical emergencies.\nIf pupils need urgent or emergency treatment, they can obviously attend at any time. If they are physically unable to attend the Health Centre, then the nurse will attend to them onsite. Both Boarding and Day pupils are encouraged to attend the school Health Centre for routine health advice or treatment between the hours of 7.00am - 7.00pm. Ideally this is in their free time i.e., not during a lesson or school activity.\nIn an emergency a nurse will assess a pupil, contact parents and depending on whether they are day pupils or boarders we will refer them to the doctor on duty at the surgery. All boarders are expected to be registered with Woodcote Surgery.\nOutside practice hours (after 7.00pm Monday to Friday and at weekends) the on-call nurse will contact Oxfordshire Primary Care Trust Out of Hours Service if she needs advice about a pupil. Injuries requiring further assessment or treatment are referred to a local Minor Injuries Unit or Accident and Emergency Department in Reading.\nDr Ed Capo-Bianco holds a doctor’s surgery for boarders in the School Health Centre twice a week on Mondays and Fridays during Michaelmas term and once a week on a Monday during Lent and Trinity term. If pupils need to attend a GP in holiday periods, they can attend any Woodcote Surgery GP as a ‘temporary patient’.\nWe ask the parents of all new pupils to The Oratory to fill out a detailed medical history form, including a vaccination history form and consent to medical treatment. This information enables our medical team to be aware of any health issues for the new arrivals as soon as they join us. All forms can be found on My School portal.\nWe also ask all parents to complete an Emergency Contact Form, where you nominate an alternative member of the family or guardian who can be contacted in an emergency if we are unable to contact you directly and immediately. Of course, we sincerely hope not to use this but it is far better to be prepared.\nOn entry to the school all pupils are offered a New Pupil Medical Check. This involves an individual baseline health assessment with a nurse, which enables the nurse to know what is normal for that particular pupil, alongside an informal chat about any health concerns they may have.\nBoarding Pupils are referred to the School Medical Officer if there is a current or previous significant health condition or any concern of which the doctor should be aware.\nThere is a physiotherapist in attendance twice weekly, on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Our Physiotherapist is Amanda Watt with Physiobility. The Physio can be accessed following a GP referral via private insurance, or alternatively, it can be paid for separately.\nThe School counsellor is available to pupils free of charge.\nPupils' own medication\nUnder 16 years – pupils need to provide the Health Centre with any medication that they bring to school and this will be administered by the nurses.\nAbove 16 years - nurses will complete a medication assessment with the pupils and, if appropriate, the pupil can keep the medication in their rooms in a locked cupboard.\nIf a pupil is arriving from overseas with medication, please ensure that we are provided with a prescription and details of what these medications are, if they are not in English.\nIf a pupil is on a ‘controlled medication’ then regardless of age, the pupil will need to keep this in the controlled drugs cupboard in the Health Centre; nurses will administer this on a daily basis. It is also essential for any boarders to provide a prescription for this, in order for us to be allowed to administer it.\nThe Medical Team\n- Dr Ed Capo-Bianco, School Medical Officer\n- Clare McSoley, Practice Manager (Residential)\n- Sarah Atkins RGN\n- Jayne Reynolds RGN (Residential)\n- Samantha Eldin RGN\n- Mo Jackson RGN\n- Joy Rose, Administrator\n- Marguerite Gates, HSA\nTel: 01491 683535 / 07786 396124.", "domain": "health"}

Exposure to excessive sun, heat, dirt, pollution, etc. adds to our already existent hair woes. These can lead to dirt build up, drying out of hair and scalp and increased susceptibility to infections on the scalp. Cover your hair with an umbrella or a hat when out in harsh weather conditions and wearing a protective style during harsher elements will help as well.\nTip 2: Handle Wet Hair With Care\nStraight/relaxed wet hair is very fragile and breaks easily. Shampoo the hair carefully with a sulfate shampoo to minimize tangles. Use a wide-tooth comb to detangle wet-hair and apply conditioner to help with slippage.\nTip 3: Condition The Hair Regularly and Correctly\nUse a moisturizing conditioner after every wash. Conditioning needs to be done right. Conditioners are formulated to seal in the moisture and deposit protein to the hair shaft. Apply heat or cover the hair in order for it to be most effective.\nTip 4: Minimize Heat\nAvoid using heat on your hair. Heat further strips the moisture content from your hair making it dry and frizzy. When overused, it can also burn your hair. Use iron/curl, straighteners only if necessary and remember to use a hair protectant before!\nTip 5: Avoid Pulling The Hair Too Tightly\nAvoid using super tight hair ties or pulling the hair too tightly during styling and braiding. Traction alopecia or balding and thinning around the edges and in the crown of the hair is usually caused by pulling the hair too tightly and it can be severe and permanent if you aren’t careful.\nTip 6: Satin Pillowcases Work Better\nSleeping on satin pillow covers will reduce hair breakage due to friction. Cotton and other materials are quite rough in texture. Due to which they also cause more friction against your hair.\nTip 7: Don’t Rub, Pat Dry\nWhen drying hair, pat dry. Do not ever rub. You might dry your hair faster but the amount of hair that breaks and falls away also doubles up.\nTip 8: Wash Your Hair In Cool Water\nUse cool water to wash your hair as hot water affects hair the same way as heat styling methods do; it can cause dry feeling hair.\nTip 9: Healthy Eating\nHealth on the inside reflects on your hair too. The healthier you are, the better your hair looks. If you want healthy hair, eating right is a must. Certain nutrients like vitamins, iron and proteins are essential for your hair growth and health. If you are unable to obtain enough from your diet, then you need to consider supplements.", "domain": "health"}

It often stems from various factors, including poor oral hygiene, dietary choices, medical conditions, and lifestyle habits. To effectively treat bad breath, it’s crucial to identify its underlying causes and take appropriate measures to address them. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the common causes of bad breath and provide strategies for treating it effectively.\nCommon Causes of Bad Breath:\n1. Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing, flossing, and tongue cleaning allow food particles to remain in your mouth, leading to bacterial growth and the release of foul-smelling gases.\n2. Dry Mouth (Xerostomia): Saliva naturally cleanses the mouth by neutralizing acids and washing away bacteria. A dry mouth can result from factors like dehydration, certain medications, or medical conditions, allowing odor-causing bacteria to flourish.\n3. Dietary Choices: Foods with strong odors like garlic, onions, and spices can lead to temporary bad breath. Additionally, sugary foods and drinks promote bacterial growth and contribute to bad breath over time.\n4. Tobacco Products: Smoking or chewing tobacco can cause persistent bad breath and lead to various oral health issues.\n5. Alcohol and Coffee: These beverages can lead to dry mouth, contributing to bad breath. They also leave residues that bacteria feed on.\n6. Medical Conditions: Some medical conditions can cause chronic bad breath, including sinus infections, respiratory infections, diabetes, liver or kidney disease, and gastrointestinal issues like acid reflux (GERD).\n7. Medications: Some medications, such as those for allergies, high blood pressure, or depression, can lead to dry mouth or other side effects contributing to halitosis.\n8. Dental Issues: Dental problems like gum disease, tooth decay, dental abscesses, or poorly fitted dentures can harbor bacteria and lead to bad breath.\n9. Orthodontic Appliances: Braces, retainers, or dentures may trap food particles and bacteria, causing unpleasant odors.\n10. Morning Breath: Reduced saliva production during sleep can lead to dry mouth and morning breath, which is usually temporary and resolves with regular oral hygiene.\nEffective Treatment for Bad Breath:\nTo treat bad breath effectively, consider the following strategies:\n1. Maintain Excellent Oral Hygiene:\n– Brush: Brush your teeth at least twice a day, using fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristle toothbrush. Pay special attention to brushing your tongue to remove bacteria and debris.\n– Floss: Clean between your teeth and along the gumline daily to remove food particles and plaque.\n– Tongue Cleaning: Use a tongue scraper or the back of your toothbrush to gently clean your tongue’s surface, where odor-causing bacteria often reside.\n2. Stay Hydrated:\n– Drink plenty of water throughout the day to prevent dry mouth. This helps maintain saliva production, which naturally cleanses your mouth.\n3. Dietary Choices:\n– Limit consumption of odorous foods like garlic and onions, especially when you have social events planned.\n– Opt for foods high in fiber, such as fruits and vegetables, which can help naturally cleanse the mouth.\n– Chew sugar-free gum or eat sugar-free mints to stimulate saliva production and freshen your breath.\n4. Tobacco and Alcohol Cessation:\n– Quit smoking or chewing tobacco to eliminate tobacco-related bad breath.\n– Limit or eliminate alcohol and coffee consumption, especially if they contribute to dry mouth.\n5. Address Dry Mouth:\n– If dry mouth is a persistent issue, consider using over-the-counter artificial saliva products or consult your healthcare provider for possible medication adjustments.\n– Use a humidifier in your bedroom to maintain moisture in the air during sleep.\n6. Regular Dental Check-Ups:\n– Schedule routine dental check-ups and cleanings every six months to address and prevent dental issues contributing to bad breath.\n7. Manage Medical Conditions:\n– If you have an underlying medical condition contributing to bad breath, work closely with your healthcare provider to manage and treat the condition effectively.\n8. Medication Review:\n– If you suspect medications are causing bad breath, consult your healthcare provider to discuss potential alternatives or solutions.\n9. Orthodontic and Dental Appliance Care:\n– If you wear braces, retainers, or dentures, maintain strict hygiene practices to prevent bacterial buildup.\n10. Practice Good Oral Health Habits Consistently:\n– Develop a daily oral hygiene routine and stick to it consistently, including weekends and vacations.\n11. Rinse with Mouthwash:\n– Use an antimicrobial or antibacterial mouthwash to help kill bacteria and leave your mouth feeling fresh.\n12. Specialized Treatment:\n– If gum disease, dental abscesses, or tooth decay is causing bad breath, your dentist may recommend specific treatments or procedures to address these issues.\n13. Consult a Dentist or Dental Hygienist:\n– If bad breath persists despite your efforts, seek professional help. A dentist or dental hygienist can perform a thorough evaluation to identify the root cause and recommend appropriate treatment.\n14. Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle:\n– Incorporate a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management techniques into your daily routine to promote overall health, including oral health.\n15. Use Breath Fresheners as Needed:\n– Carry sugar-free gum or breath mints with you for a quick refresh when necessary, but remember that these are temporary solutions.\nIn conclusion, addressing bad breath effectively involves identifying its underlying causes and implementing consistent oral hygiene practices and lifestyle changes. By following these strategies, you can maintain fresh breath and confidence in your social interactions while prioritizing your overall oral health. Remember that chronic or severe bad breath may indicate an underlying issue that should be addressed with the help of a healthcare provider or dentist.", "domain": "health"}

Are you suffering from uncomfortable physical symptoms, such as a racing heartbeat, trembling, nausea, or shallow breathing? Do you have a powerful urge to escape from everything, but don’t know where to turn for help? Maybe you have noticed that you’re often irritable and prone to snapping at friends and loved ones. Or, the fear of potential heightened stress might have you avoiding activities or people you once enjoyed. Perhaps, you worry too much about what others think of you, or in social situations, find yourself tongue-tied or stuttering. Are you desperate for relief from looping, incessant thoughts and the constant feeling of weight on your chest?\nYour professional life could be suffering as well, especially if anxiety is impacting your ability to finish projects on time or you feel held back from promotions and new opportunities. Or, you might have drastically altered eating habits and are consuming far too much or too little food. Regardless of how your anxiety symptoms are manifesting, you might be feeling hopeless and helpless. It can seem like you’re in quicksand, and the more you fight it the further you sink. Do you want to find a way to manage your thoughts and feelings and not be at the mercy of the stress and fear that haunt you?\nAccording to the National Institute of Mental Health, anxiety disorders affect about 20 percent of American adults. They are the most commonly diagnosed mental health disorders in the U.S., afflicting about 40 million adults, but only around a third of people with anxiety receive proper treatment. Some people struggling with anxiety try to cope on their own by using alcohol, drugs, shopping or food to self-medicate. The reality is that these methods only provide temporary relief from anxious thoughts and can do considerable harm to your relationships, career and health when used excessively. Although it might seem as if you’ve tried everything you can think of to ease your symptoms, the safe, proven way to achieve true, lasting peace and contentment is through anxiety treatment. With the help of an experienced, compassionate therapist, you can better understand what triggers your anxiety, learn proper coping strategies and stress-relieving techniques to effectively manage and even overcome it. It is possible to find both the immediate and long-term relief and peace you are desperately seeking.\nFor over 10 years, I have specialized in helping clients manage their anxiety and regain control of their lives. As a doctoral candidate at the Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis and as a trained EMDR practitioner, I’ve received advanced training specifically in anxiety treatment. In anxiety counseling sessions, my goal is to help you discover more about the reasons for you anxiety and identify the core issues that hold you back from true happiness and peace of mind. Since those suffering from anxiety are often in need of immediate relief, one of our first steps can be to discuss and develop some techniques to help you relax and calm yourself in the moments that anxiety heightens.\nAlongside relaxation and stress-reduction techniques, I will work with you to create a therapy plan that is individualized to you and your personal experiences, needs, specific type of anxiety and therapy goals. You can build self-awareness and increase your understanding of anxiety and the patterns of thinking that lead to panic or fear. We can also identify the root source of your anxiety, and discover and address what factors trigger these feelings. Through using various proven techniques, such as mindfulness, EMDR and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), you can learn how to reduce stress, reframe negative thought processes and manage the challenges that come up in your life with greater ease. I can guide you in safely and effectively exploring your deepest self, which can help you achieve lasting happiness and balance and ensure a bright future, with less anxiety and fear.\nIf you’re reading this, you probably already suspect that you’re suffering from anxiety. And, if you’ve tried other methods to reduce stress with limited to no success, you owe it to yourself to give anxiety therapy a try. Far too many people suffer in secret because they don’t want to appear weak or admit to themselves that they might need help. Anxiety is very common in our culture and there is no shame in seeking help. In fact, it’s a sign of strength.\nTherapy for anxiety is an investment in you. Consider the amount of money you spend on your hobbies or vices, and the only return on investment in these cases is fleeting enjoyment. Treatment for anxiety can improve your quality of life now and in the future. Or, viewing it from a purely financial perspective, investing in therapy can ease the harmful thoughts and debilitating anxiety that keep you from realizing your full earning potential.\nHow often do you sacrifice to make friends, family members, and other people in your life happy? From childhood, we are taught to please others. Getting along with parents, teachers or siblings was an important lesson, but we aren’t told when—or how—to stop pleasing others and take care of ourselves. As an adult, you might find yourself stretched to your limits, trying to make everyone happy, but still feel guilty that it’s not enough. You already do so much for the people in your life; it’s time to make time for yourself. You deserve to be happy, too.\nIf you are ready to change and desire to be more content, connected, and engaged with life, I invite you to call me at (916) 822-2042 for a free, 15-minute consultation. I am happy to answer any questions you have about anxiety treatment and discuss how I can help. Don’t ignore your pain. Call me today.", "domain": "health"}

Self-diagnosis and diagnosis by doctors seem – and I’m sorry to say so – so commonplace as a simple excuse for all kinds of gastrointestinal dysfunction that one has to become suspicious. When you take the time to read the latest studies on the subject, doubts about the reliability of this diagnosis appear more than justified. Don’t get me wrong, there is no doubt that people suffer from gastrointestinal symptoms, just the reasoning given may not apply.\nThe subject is very important for athletes who very often suffer from gastrointestinal dysfunction due to stress – be it mechanical, biochemical or mental. My impression is that these problems are seldom properly analyzed and diagnosed, instead they are hastily dismissed either as infections, lactose or stress-induced (i.e. vegetative). The following sections can only provide a very superficial insight into a complex problem.\nWhat exactly is lactose and lactase? A more modern view of intolerance\nAs far as is known, lactose has no specific nutritional value for adults. It is the most important source of energy during the first year of life and covers almost half of the total energy needs of babies. Lactose is widely used in the food industry. You can find them in sweets, confections and sausages. Due to its physiological properties – lactose is a good binding agent due to its texture that binds water and color. It is also tasteless.\nIn order to be absorbed, lactose must be hydrolyzed. It does this through lactase. Lactase is abundant in the beginning of the small intestine. It is found at the tip of the villus and is therefore more prone to gastrointestinal diseases that cause cell damage (there are other enzymes deeper in the cell wall that break down other sugars). One speaks of primary lactase deficiency when the lactase secretion in the infant falls to 10% or less after weaning. Congenital lactase deficiency is extremely rare. Secondary lactase deficiency or poor digestion can occur after operations or if the intestinal mucosa is damaged (infections, inflammatory diseases). This is where Biestmilch comes into play. The smallest possible amount of lactose that could trigger symptoms is unknown and would be a very subjective sensation. On average, an amount of several dozen grams would have to be taken in order to cause symptoms (e.g. 50g are used in the lactose tolerance test).\nDon’t forget that you consume lactose with a lot of food!\nBiestmilch is low in lactose. It contains only 5-7% of the lactose content of milk. Those who can tolerate lactose in small to moderate amounts without noticeable discomfort can take colostrum without problems. Of course, this only applies if you have a proven lactose intolerance that is not part of a functional bowel disorder (see below). Our years of experience have shown that in most cases the symptoms of lactose intolerance decrease or go away. This may very well be due to the therapeutic effect of colostrum on the mucous membranes. Biestmilch has an anti-inflammatory effect on all mucous membranes, including the intestines. It also has the ability to regulate purely functional disorders.\nThe intestine does not have as many opportunities to show symptoms\nRegardless of the cause, soft stools, constipation, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, flatulence, bowel noises, dyspepsia etc. belong to abdominal symptoms, as well as sensitivity to pain and disorders of intestinal motility.\nThe threshold at which people with these symptoms perceive pain or discomfort is lower compared to healthy individuals. What is not painful under normal conditions becomes painful for these people. All of these symptoms can be caused by a variety of diseases, ranging from gastrointestinal infections to functional disorders, with the majority suffering from gastrointestinal dysfunction. They are either chronic or seizure with no evidence of structural or biochemical abnormalities. The prevalence of functional bowel disease in Western society is very high. 17% suffer from irritable bowel syndrome alone. The symptoms of lactose intolerance are very similar, if not the same.\nMore recent studies have shown that subjects who can digest lactose well complained of symptoms after consuming low-lactose or lactose-free milk, just as subjects allegedly cannot digest the lactose. This suggests that many of the symptoms of lactose intolerance are unrelated to the ability to digest lactose. It seems that the subjective perception of lactose intolerance is strongly linked to the presence of a functional intestinal regulation disorder such as e.g. B. is linked to irritable bowel syndrome.\nIs there a more complex, more serious illness hidden behind lactose intolerance? Thinking differently\nLactose intolerance is not an uncomplicated diagnosis based solely on a measurable lactase deficit. It may be based on more complex regulatory disorders of the bowel. Physiological factors that affect the amount of lactose broken down include gastrointestinal transit time, intestinal lactase activity, visceral sensitivity and the presence of functional bowel disease and, optionally, the composition of the microflora in the large intestine. On top of that, factors related to the sensory and central nervous systems change the perception of symptoms. To give you an idea of what this means, adults who frequently complained of abdominal pain in childhood appear to be more prone to developing functional gastrointestinal problems later in life.", "domain": "health"}

The ball struck his sternum at precisely the wrong moment, stimulating a cascade of electrical events in his heart that provoked a sudden cardiac arrest.\nTeammate Ben Wu came to rescue to help save his teammate’s life. As a student in the Beaverton (Oregon) School District Health Careers Program, he had been trained in health assessments, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and the importance of having an automated external defibrillator (AED) on hand during such a critical moment.\nSince Wu had recently undergone his own heart screening, he had first-hand knowledge and the risk of sudden cardiac arrest, which is the No. 1 cause of death in student athletes.\nPlay Smart Youth Heart Screenings is a free program sponsored by Providence Heart Institute at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland, Oregon, a multi-state integrated health-care system. Dr. James Beckerman, cardiologist and medical director, and Lydia Hibsch, MA, manager of business development and operations manager of the Play Smart Youth Heart Screenings Program, started Play Smart in 2012 in the wake of multiple tragic events in their own community.\nPlay Smart provides free blood pressure screenings, electrocardiograms (EKGs) and cardiac ultrasounds (as needed) to youth from ages 12 to 18. During the past six years, the program has screened more than 25,000 kids, identifying about 1,300 with asymptomatic cardiac conditions and elevated blood pressure.\n“When we started Play Smart, we expected to screen the majority of kids at our hospital,” Beckerman said. “After all, that’s where we see our patients. But after just a few months, we realized that if we wanted to make the greatest impact, we needed to go where the kids are – at school.”\nAnd so began the process of partnering with local schools and community organizations to provide on-site screenings. Since 2012, Play Smart has screened children in nearly 250 separate events, impacting kids from more than 100 cities and towns in Oregon and Southwest Washington.\nPlay Smart is the largest youth heart screening program in Oregon; it operates year-round and epitomizes outreach strategies in engaging with schools and communities. To impact as many youth as possible, Play Smart brings its mobile heart screening program into the high school setting and, in partnership with schools, screens students while raising awareness of heart health with students, families and communities.\nPlay Smart works with the school screening partners to organize the students to be screened, and it can offer heart screenings to 100-240 youth in a typical screening day.\nThe prevention and wellness focus of the Play Smart Program makes it an exceptional health educational curriculum supplement in school settings; many health and physical education teachers integrate the heart screenings as an enrichment experience to support their health curriculum.\nThe school and community partnerships are active and vital to the success of the program. Throughout the six years of the Play Smart Program, it has developed 105 partnerships with schools, local clinics and area community organizations in offering free heart screenings to youth and families throughout Oregon and southwest Washington.\n“We are so lucky to have fostered so many positive relationships with school administrators, athletic directors, school nurses, health and PE staff – their participation and enthusiasm for these kids is what makes Play Smart work,” Hibsch said. “They appreciate the importance of this free heart-health screening and recognize the value that this program offers in increasing health awareness in their communities.”\nThe Beaverton Health Careers program is a great example of the partnerships that Play Smart has developed. In addition to providing its students with free heart screenings, Play Smart is working with its leadership to offer more opportunities for exposure to health-care careers for these students.\nBen Wu successfully performed CPR on his teammate, buying enough time for his coach to access an AED to save his teammate’s life. Everyone is doing well today. Wu is not only an inspiration, but he has also been inspired by his experience – he plans to become a doctor one day.\nFor more information about the Play Smart Youth Heart Screenings Program and an updated screenings schedule, visit www.playsmartgetscreened.org.", "domain": "health"}

It is important to keep a well balanced diet to help manage the emotional roller coaster you ride the entire pregnancy (not to mention post-natal).\nYou are beginning the first stage of feeding your baby and determining its constitution, so make the best decisions you can. By choosing certain foods you help growth, development, calm certain cravings, increase energy, and even possibly eliminate or control certain symptoms of pregnancy like morning sickness, migraines, swelling, and others. Here are some quick tips from one of my favorite books, “Macrobiotic Pregnancy and Care of the Newborn” by Michio and Aveline Kushi.\n1. Do not follow a specific diet the ENTIRE pregnancy. You need to learn to adapt your diet to suit the constant changing conditions of the body, and learn how to satisfy cravings. ( I will dedicate 1 blog to CRAVINGS ONLY, but here are a few for now)\n2. Chew your food well. (until it becomes a liquid in your mouth) This is where digestion begins!\n3. Eat with good appetite.\n4. SIT to EAT, and eat with a peaceful manner with gratitude for your food about 3 times a day.\n5. Avoid eating for about 3 hours before sleeping. This will help relieve stagnation which creates indigestion.\n6. It is advisable to use a gas or wood stove for cooking if available rather than electric or microwave cooking devices.\n8. Eat until you are satisfied not full\n9. Eat your minerals! SEA VEGGIES! but don’t bathe too long because you can deplete those minerals.\nIf we are not drinking water then we turn to special teas that are good for almost all ages. There is a difference between the teas I am about to list compared to already bottled tea, herbal teas, and that southern sweet tea.\nCertain tea is important to include in your diet because it can help with digestion, detoxing, immune system boost, improve respiratory system, and general health. Here is a list of our stapel teas in our home. You can get most the ingredients from whole foods, but I like to order from Natural Import.\nKukicha or Bancha: Helps with digestion, contains no chemical dyes. Consists of the stems of leaves from mature Japanese tea bushes. Comes in tea bag or twigs.\nSencha: Helps with metabolism. Consists of toasted brown rice and Japanese Green tea leaves. Comes in tea bags\nUme-Shoyu Kuzu: Aids in digestion, and creating a alkaline base when too acidic. Good for sickness, detox, hangover. Disolve kuzu in room temp water. Simmer water or kukicha, and then add the disolved kuzu water and ume plum (Japanese pickeled plum found at Whole Foods or Natural Import). Add a splash of shoyu sauce (a naturally fermented soy sauce).\nStart with those for now… More to come!\nToday was a very productive day. I put together 4 of our regular flavors with a little twist for a boost of nutrients! All food is made with filtered water and a pinch of Kombu.\nButternut Squash, Parsnip, Rutabaga, and Daikon\nButternut Squash, Parsnip, Collard Greens, and Burdock\nGreen Machine: (Broccoli Mix)\nBroccoli, Collard Greens, Rutabaga, Butternut squash\n24 Carrot Plus:\nMake your own infant formula because there are not any really good products out there. Here are a few to try out!\nfor Breast Milk\nCompiled by Dr. Thomas Stearns Lee, NMD\nThe best nutrition for newborns and infants is breast milk. However, there are situations that require formula feeding, and many babies respond poorly to cow’s milk. The following infant formula recipes have been created to meet babies’ nutritional requirements up to six months of age.\nIn these formulations, soy milk is mentioned as a substitute for cow’s milk. There are now many processing methods for soy that produce very different nutritional results. Because there is little scientific information about the nutritional value of genetically modified (GMO) soy and because of the prevalence of soy allergies, we suggest you consider rice, almond, or oat milk if you encounter any problems with soy.\nThese formulas have proven useful and complete. For all these recipes, warm the milk or milk substitute up to skin temperature, stir in the liquid supplements, and add the dry powders last. Fill the bottles or create individual servings in covered containers. (Remember, glass is always more pure than plastic containers.)\nWarm each feeding up to the baby’s temperature before use. Remember that any formula containing virgin coconut oil must be warmed to over 75 degrees F. to liquefy this oil.\nWith practice, you will discover the best mix for your infant. If you would like to share your findings with us, other families will appreciate the benefit of your experiences.\nKokkoh (Macrobiotic Rice Milk)\n• 1 cup brown rice\n• 10 cups water\n• 1/4 tsp. salt\nWash the rice and toast it in a dry pan, stirring it constantly until it is golden and begins to pop. Add the water and salt and simmer for 2 hours or more on a low flame, stirring occasionally. Squeeze out the cream with a cheesecloth. This milk can serve as the basis for infant formula if it is supplemented with other nutrients, as in the recipes below.\n• 1 qt. oat, rice, almond, or soy milk (ranked here by ease of digestion), heated to boiling, then cooled\n• 1 cup organic carrot juice\n• 1/2 cup of strained liquid from a mixture of cooked bean sprouts (mung bean, lentil, and alfalfa)\n• 1 tbsp. maple syrup\n• 1 tsp. virgin coconut oil\n• 300 IU calcium/magnesium liquid\n• 250 mg. Vitamin C powder\n• 1 tbsp. nutritional yeast\n• 1/2 tsp. chlorophyll liquid\n• 100 mcg. folic acid\nVarious milks have very different protein contents. Work with a naturopathic doctor to tune these amounts if using this formula longer than a few weeks. In addition, borage oil, flax oil, or evening primrose oil can be added as a source of gamma linolenic acid (GLA). Human milk has significant amounts of GLA and it is required for the synthesis of necessary hormones.\nLoffler-Wright Infant Formula\n(From Medical Nutrition from Marz)\n• 1 quart whole oat, rice, almond, or soy milk\n• 1 cup carrot juice\n• 200 mg DHA in fish oil\n• 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup\n• 1 tablespoon barley green or Spirulina\n• 1 teaspoon molasses\n• 100 IU Vitamin D\n• 0.1 mg folate\n• 500 mg Carnitine\nThis formula should be made up daily. Since it oxidizes rapidly, it is best to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator, or pre-bottled in the unit-dose baby bottles. Vitamins and syrups can be pre-mixed and ready for more convenient preparation.\n• 1 qt. soy milk\n• 1 cup carrot juice\n• 1/4 tsp. barley green\n• 200 IUs Vitamin D\n• 1/4 tsp. nutritional yeast\n• 100 mg. Vitamin C\n• 1 Tbsp. virgin coconut oil\n• 1 tablespoon maple syrup\nOther modifications can be made to this formula if the infant is premature or has poor muscle development. In particular, L-Carnitine is critical for the oxidation of fatty acids, so you may want to add that (500 mg/qt) for older babies. Newborns have a very limited ability to synthesize carnitine, especially premature ones.\nAnother modification that can be made in the formula is the addition of DHA (Docosahexaeinoic acid), which is critical for visual acuity and brain development. Infants fed formulas that were devoid of these essential fatty acids showed significantly slower brain development and less visual acuity as babies and toddlers. Many countries in Europe and Asia require that DHA be added to infant formulas. Currently, supplemental amounts are controversial. The FDA is currently considering this ingredient to be required in infant formulas in the U.S., but there is strong opposition by infant formula manufacturers.\nNaturoDoc Note: Our guesstimate is that 200 mg of DHA per quart is a conservative supplemental level.\nExcerpted and adapted from The Baby Book: Everything You Need to Know About Your Baby From Birth to Age Two, by William Sears, MD, and Martha Sears, RN, Little, Brown and Company, New York, 1993.\nNaturally Healthy Infant Formula\nThis formula is a soy-based formula. Rice- or oatmeal-based formulas are also nutritious and well-tolerated.\nTo make one quart, blend the following ingredients:\n• One-half teaspoon of powdered Bifidus-type acidophilus bacteria, such as Natren, Lactopriv, Eugalan, Topfer, or other powders.\n• 200 mg. of calcium ascorbate crystals.\n• 100 mcg. folic acid\n• 1 tablespoon of whey protein powder.\n• One teaspoon lecithin granules. Mix with the dry ingredients for addition to the warmed milk.\n• Two teaspoons total of oil: one teaspoon virgin coconut oil, and one teaspoon flax or olive oil. Organic oils are best.\n• One teaspoon of organic honey or crystallized sugar cane juice.\n• One quart of plain unsweetened organic rice or almond milk.\nNotes: A liquid pediatric multiple vitamin may be used with this formula; two suggestions are Floridix or NF. At 5 months, molasses may be added for extra iron, and dulse or kelp flakes can be introduced into the diet for iodine.\nDr. Lee’s Formula\n• 1 qt. goat’s milk, or oat, rice, almond, or soy milk, or preferred combinations\n• 200 mcg. folic acid\n• 1-2 mg. B complex (dissolve a 50 mg. tablet in a 1 oz. dropper bottle of water, and use 2 droppers of this mixture in a day’s worth of formula)\n• 1 tsp. virgin coconut oil\n• 1 drop wheat germ oil\n• 1,000 IU’s Beta-carotene (1/2 of a small capsule stirred into milk)\n• 1 pinch of powdered ginger\n• 1 pinch of sea salt\nServe at room temperature, or slightly warm at 85-95 degrees F.\nThe Farm (Tennessee) Recipe for Soy Milk\nThis preparation is affordable and convenient for many families to add to other infant formula recipes. Soy products, especially commercial products, have proven difficult to digest for some infants and they can even cause allergies, so either be sure your children can handle it or use other milk substitutes.\n• Rinse 2-1/2 cups whole soybeans and soak in 5 cups cool water for 8-10 hours.\n• Blend 1 cup soybeans with 2-1/2 cups hot water at high speed for about 1 minute, or until beans are finely ground.\n• Repeat until all beans are blended.\n• Put in a large pot over medium-high flame. When soy starts to boil, turn down heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.\n• Pour soy through cheesecloth, twisting pulp in cloth to squeeze out milk.\n• Repeat process, pouring 2 cups boiling water in with remaining pulp and straining again. Supplement with food or breast milk.\nHere is a Great Coffee Cake Recipe from Dr. Josh Axe. I SUBSTITUTE 2 tbsp of Flax meal and 2 tbsp of water for 1 egg to make it more macro friendly.\n* Egg substitute = soak 2 tbsp of flax meal in 2 tbsp of water for about 3 minutes.", "domain": "health"}

If you are looking for a permanent solution to missing teeth, full arch dental implants are an excellent choice.\nWhat are Full Arch Dental Implants?\nFull arch dental implants, also known as All-on-4 implants or same-day teeth, are a revolutionary solution for individuals who have lost multiple teeth or are about to lose most of their natural teeth. The procedure involves strategically placing dental implants in the upper or lower jawbone to support a full arch of replacement teeth. These implants are designed to mimic the strength, function, and appearance of natural teeth, giving you a beautiful, functional smile.\nThe Benefits of Full Arch Dental Implants\n1. Improved Aesthetics\nFull arch dental implants provide a natural-looking, full set of teeth that blend seamlessly with your existing teeth. The prosthetic teeth are carefully crafted to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, resulting in a beautiful, harmonious smile. You no longer need to worry about gaps, missing teeth, or dentures that may shift or look unnatural.\n2. Enhanced Functionality\nUnlike traditional dentures, full arch dental implants are securely anchored to your jawbone, providing stability and functionality. You can enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions and speak confidently without worrying about dentures slipping or clicking. With full arch dental implants, you regain the biting force and chewing efficiency comparable to natural teeth.\n3. Long-Lasting Solution\nFull arch dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance. The implants integrate with the jawbone, stimulating bone growth and preventing bone loss. Unlike traditional dentures that may need frequent adjustments or replacements, full arch dental implants offer a durable and permanent solution for missing teeth.\n4. Preservation of Facial Structure\nWhen you lose multiple teeth, your facial structure can change over time, causing a sunken appearance and premature aging. Full arch dental implants support the facial structure, preventing bone loss and preserving your natural facial contours. With dental implants, you can maintain a youthful and vibrant appearance.\n5. Improved Confidence and Self-Esteem\nHaving a perfect smile can significantly boost your confidence and self-esteem.

Activated carbon traps organics which can become a food source for any microbiological flora.\nActivated carbon filters for rain water filtration should be bacteriostatic carbon, alternatively they can cause more harm than good. Severe waterborne illnesses can result from activated carbon filters that harbour bacteria .\nSilver occurs naturally in the environment, mainly in the form of its very insoluble and immobile oxides, sulfides and some salts. Because silver ions are bacteriastatic, silver is used both as an emergency drinking water disinfectant and impregnated in some water filters to prevent microbial regrowth.\nThe specific antibacterial mechanism of silver is not clearly understood, but research with E. coli and S. aureus has shown that silver treatment of these microorganisms has resulted in DNA losing its replication ability.\nResearch on drinking water disinfection systems has shown that silver can be used successfully to control bacterial growth. It has also been found that the addition of copper and silver to water systems may allow the concentration of free chlorine to be reduced while still providing comparable sanitary quality of the water.\nStill other research has shown that silver can be used in hospital water systems to control Legionella and in cooling towers to control bacterial growth. Silver has also been used to enhance the effectiveness of ultraviolet (UV) radiation in inactivating viruses in water. Also see : https://www.watertechonline.com/silver-copper-have-anti-bacterial-effects/\nHow does Silver inhibit microbial growth ?\nWhen copper and silver ions and nanoparticles are released into water, these cations (positively charged) are a potent microbiocide. These ions bond with negatively charged areas on the microorganism’s cell walls, affecting cell wall permeability and minimising the intake of life-sustaining nutrients.\nInside an algae cell, copper and silver attack sulfur-containing amino acid radicals in the proteins used for photosynthesis. Photosynthesis and reproductive processes are blocked, leading to cell lysis (disintegration) and death.\nThe greatest benefit of copper and silver is that they remain active in water, providing long-term residual, non-toxic protection against recontamination. They remain in water until they flocculate, or form masses with algae and bacteria and then become large enough to be removed by filtration.\nOne advantage of silver ionisation is that both substances are retained in trace amounts in the water and continue to have an antimicrobial effect over weeks and months. Even after the ionisation system has been switched off, the effect persists.", "domain": "health"}

They are warmth in the arms of its mother, food from her breasts, and security in the knowledge of her presence. Breastfeeding satisfies all three.\" - Dr. Grantly Dick-Read\nThe word mammal is from the Latin “mammālis”, meaning “of the breast” and so a mammal – which includes us humans - is characterized by milk-producing mammary glands in the female for nourishing its young. You’re thinking – is this really the place for a piece on breastfeeding? I’m saying – in a country a baby is born almost every 2 seconds, everybody is either having a baby or knows someone who is about to. So, getting your breastfeeding primer updated is going to come handy, one way or another.\nNow we all have a vague idea that breastfeeding is somehow good for the baby. But UNICEF is a tad more specific about it. “ If every baby were exclusively breastfed from birth for 6 months, an estimated 1.5 million lives would be saved each year. Not just saved but enhanced, because breast milk is the perfect food for a baby\"s first 6 months of life - no manufactured product can equal it.”\nReally? Nothing but breast milk for the first six months of a baby’s life?\nMummy knows best…\nThis is how all other mammals rear their young and so why should we humans be any different. And to underscore that point, the experts recommend that breastfeeding should start within the first hour of the baby being born, preferably in the first 30 minutes. Mainly because in the first 2-3 days after birth, the mother’s breast produces colostrum, Nature’s most wonderful gift to the life that’s just begun. Colostrum is the perfect first food for the newborn, low in fat, and high in carbohydrates, protein and easy to digest. Besides, it has a laxative effect, helping the baby to pass early stools and excrete excess bilirubin which can cause jaundice. Colostrum is also the baby\"s first immunization because it is loaded with leukocytes, disease fighting protective white cells and IgA, a major antibody. Finally, it protects the baby’s extremely fragile and vulnerable digestive tract, “painting” it with a barrier that seals it against infections.\nNo wonder then that doctors insist that nothing should be given before that all-important first breastfeed.\nAnd till the baby is 6 months old, breast milk is the perfect and only food that the baby needs. For many reasons.\nNutritionally, breast milk is the perfect formula - the right kind of proteins, fats, lactose, vitamins, minerals, water and all other nutrients in the right mix.\nBreast milk is Nature’s ready-to-eat food – available whenever the baby wants it. And you don’t even have to “heat and serve because the temperature is perfect for the baby’s delicate mouth. The IBFAN (International Baby Food Action Network) poster promoting breastfeeding in Canada shows a pair of beautiful breasts with the slogan “Fast food outlets”!\nBreast milk is not just free; it’s also free from any kind of contamination.\nBreastfeeding protects the child against several childhood infections, many of them life-threatening. In the first 2 months of life, an infant who is not exclusively breastfed is up to 25 times more likely to die from diarrhoea and 4 times more likely to die from pneumonia than a breastfed baby.\nBreastfeeding ensures a better immune system, making the baby respond better to vaccination\nMost of all, breast milk is more than just baby food. It is also that other immeasurably wonderful nutrient – mother’s love. There is nothing more tender and loving than the act of a mother gently cuddling her baby to her warm, soft body. And the baby cannot but respond. So, a breastfed baby is not only a healthy baby but a blissfully happy one too!\n“But what if Mummy doesn’t have enough?”\n\"Breastfeeding is an unsentimental metaphor for how love works, in a way. You don\"t decide how much and how deeply to love--you respond to the beloved, and give with joy exactly as much as they want.\" - Marni Jackson, columnist and author of The Mother Zone\nThis the most prevalent and unfortunate myth about breast feeding and the constant worry is that maybe the baby is not getting enough milk when it is breast fed. And even more unfortunately, one of the single biggest stumbling block to the adequate production of breast milk is the mother’s own anxiety that she is not producing enough milk for her baby. And that is the ultimate irony. Because, breast feeding itself promotes the production of breast milk. It is the sucking action of the baby’s mouth that causes the production of the hormone prolactin which in turn produces the milk. So, the more a baby suckles, the more milk is produced. Which is the other reason why experts insist that the baby should be breast fed within 30-60 minutes of being born. This is when the baby\"s suckling reflex is strongest, and the baby is more alert.\nNow about “enough”. Barring conditions like severe maternal malnutrition and anemia, too many pregnancies, almost every mother can exclusively breast feed. And there are 2 very simple and easy indicators to show that your baby is well fed. First, if it urinates at least 7-10 in 24 hrs. And second, if it is putting on weight - at the rate of an average of ½ kg per month in the first 6-7 months.\nOh, there is no other thing that inhibits the production of breast milk – the use of pacifiers or bottles. The sucking action required for these is very different from suckling at the breast. So, the baby gets confused, doesn’t suckle the breast properly causing the mother to produce less breastmilk.\nIf that hasn’t already answered that often asked question of why not combine breast feeding with bottle feeding, let me elaborate…..\nHitting the bottle\nWe humans are a strange bunch. We throw away what is natural and free and healthy and pay money for unhealthy substitutes. The global annual sales baby food amounts to 16.5 billion dollars. (Coke and associated brands sell 15 billion dollars annually) The negative effects of bottle feeding and/or feeding a baby anything other than breast milk (including malnutrition and exposure to life-threatening infections) for the first 6 months of its life are so many and so serious that the World Health Assembly passed the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes in 1981. The attempt was to stop the damage to breastfeeding through the promotion of substitute products. The Indian government passed the Infant Milk Substitute Act in 1992 and further amended it in 2003 so that it prohibits the marketing of all kinds of foods for babies younger than 2 years of age.\nNow you know why I said, “hitting the bottle…”\nBlessed for life\nThe blessings that we always seek and crave for is that of our mother’s – unconditional, pure, complete and lifelong. Like breast milk. Because its effects are life long. Research now shows that children who have been breastfed grow up to be adults that:\nAre Smarter – The longer you breast feed, the more it increases your child’s IQ, reading comprehension, mathematical ability, and scholastic ability – a result of the special “fatty acids\" in breast milk. Remember, by age 6, which is when children generally start school, most of the brain\"s neural connections are already made\nCan see better – again, it’s those special “fatty acids\" that make the eyes bright, the eyesight sharp.\nAre healthier - Children who are breastfed for 1 year or longer have 50% less risk of being diabetic compared to children fed less than one year. Breast fed children also have significantly lower rates of heart disease, high blood pressure and some cancers in adult life\nAre thinner Breastfeeding reduces the incidence of adult obesity.\nWe are politely called a “developing” country. Put in harsher language, many of us are poor, some barely managing two proper meals in a day and never you mind what they are saying about our GDP being the 3rd largest in the world. With poverty comes disease and deprivation. And the most cruelly affected are little children - 50% of Indian children under the age of 3 are malnourished and of the 27 million children born every year, 16 % will die before they are 5. But, as long as a mother can breast feed, developing country or not, she can never be poor, capable of showering her feed her child the wealth of love and health that will last a lifetime. (Valued at the cost of fresh animal milk (Rs. 15 per liter), annual market value of realistic production of breastmilk in India would be about Rs 5916 crores or roughly the 2005-2006 budget allocation for Agriculture!)\nBut sadly, today, 54.2% of Indian mothers exclusively breast feed their babies till the age of 3 months and that figure drops to 19.4 % for babies aged 4-6 months.\nBreastfeeding is an ancient tradition in our land. It’s time we went back to it. To protect our greatest, most precious and yet most vulnerable national treasure – our children.\n(Grateful thanks to Dr. Shobha Banapurmath who not only sugge0sted the idea for this article and provided support and material. She is a pediatrician, representing BPNI or the Breast Promotion Network of India, “a national network of organizations and individuals dedicated to promote mother and child health through protection, promotion and support of breastfeeding.”\nBreast feeding primer\n* Till your baby is 6 months old, ONLY breast feed. No other food or drink, not even water, is usually needed during this period\n* Breastfeed immediately after birth preferably within 30-60 of birth to give your baby the all-important colostrum. Nothing should be given before the first breastfeed\n* Breastfeed unrestrictedly and on demand.\n* There is no substitute to breast milk\n* Bottle-feeding is unnecessary and even harmful, being the leading cause of loose stools in babies\n* Pacifiers and bottle confuse the baby’s sucking action and reduce the production of breastmilk.\n* Continue breastfeeding for two years or beyond, introducing solid foods only after 6 months of age.\n* Homemade, family food is the best solid food for your baby.\nAnd Mummy is happier and healthier too….\nIf breastfeeding makes healthy, happy babies, it isn’t too bad for the mummies either. It\n* Reduces post-delivery bleeding and chances of maternal anemia.\n* Obesity is less common among breastfeeding mothers.\n* Has a contraceptive effect.\n* Lowers the risk of breast and ovarian cancers.\n* Builds bone strength and protects against osteoporosis\nDid you know?\n* That malnutrition amongst children happens in the first two years of life and is virtually IRREVERSIBLE after that?\n* That a baby’s crying can make breast milk flow? A hormone called oxytocin causes the \"let-down\" reflex – when the mother hears the baby cry, milk is “let down” or ejected.\n* That anthropologist Katherine Dettwyler estimates that if culture did not tell us to do otherwise, we would breast feed our children somewhere till between 2.5 and 7 years of age", "domain": "health"}

Provide is seeking to change this through the introduction of the ‘My Home, My Voice’ Fellowship, which will gather a small cohort of people living in rural counties across the US and support them in giving voice to the reproductive health experiences in their communities. The goal of the Fellowship is to establish rural women as vital participants in discussions of access to reproductive healthcare.\nThis endeavor is quite different from Provide’s usual focus on educating and supporting health care and social service workers around abortion access, but it helps support our goal of making abortion more accessible in rural communities. We saw that there was a need and, although our work isn’t primarily in communications, we recognized that we were uniquely placed in the community to help develop and amplify rural voices around abortion, reproductive healthcare, and healthcare in general. Much of our best work has come from recognizing a need and seeing if there’s something we can do to help.\nThis Fellowship is our first dedicated effort to cultivate new leadership among rural women, supporting them to give voice to the experience of accessing reproductive health care. Our vision is to help create a voice for our movement on rural women’s health access that comes from rural women themselves.\nWe hope to find writers and developing voices who are passionate both about their rural communities and about healthcare access because their voices need to be heard, and we’d like to help them do that. Our goal is not only to give them support in their writing but to support opportunities for them speak up in person as well.\nTo that end, the Fellowship aims to choose five promising Fellows and to provide them with a space in which to write, introduce them to key figures in the reproductive health movement, and give them access to professional development tools, like a coach, webinars, and conference placement. We want to promote their own goals around communicating about rural health, especially around reproductive and abortion care.\nThis aligns with Provide’s broader goal of improving abortion access because it will support rural communities to lead the conversation about how best to provide care for those in rural spaces. In conversations about reproductive health, rights and justice, rural voices need hearing.\nProvide works to make sure that women have access to abortion, especially those living in low-resource rural and Southern communities. Provide empowers and educates health and social service providers to be able to give the care and support women facing unintended pregnancy need. Our work is rooted in the on-the-ground realities of women’s lives and of the systems and resources that are available to them. It is guided by our conviction that everyone has a role to play in supporting women’s access to abortion.\nWe believe accessible abortion is one of the essential components of women’s dignity, autonomy, and well being. By empowering health and social service providers to respond to women’s needs in a way that is rooted in patient and client-centered care, instead of abortion’s moral and political controversies, we can help normalize abortion, generate empathy, and build capacity where it is most needed.", "domain": "health"}

The longer a mold issue sits, the more difficult it will be to remove. Hazardous mold levels can cause several adverse health effects, such as:\n- Respiratory problems\n- Runny Nose\n- Nasal Congestion\n- Chronic Cough\n- Sinus Headaches\nAnd can be particularly dangerous to those with asthma or low immune systems, pregnant and nursing mothers, infants, and the elderly.\nProfessional Service Company will send a certified professional mold inspector to your home or office, and perform a limited scope inspection or a complete inspection of your location.

It also includes FDA labeling for capacity to remove pathogenic prions. HyperHEP B is the newest version of Grifols’ current HBIG, HyperHEP B S/D, which is presently prescribed globally in over 20 countries. Earlier this year Grifols, in partnership with Direct Relief, donated six million international units (IU) of HyperHEP B S/D to various underserved countries around the world.\n“Since the launch of the first version of HyperHEP B 45 years ago, millions of patients worldwide have relied on this critical product to decrease risks associated with hepatitis B exposure,” said Bill Zabel, President, Grifols North America Sales and Commercial Operations. “With a continued commitment to improving the lives of patients, we’re establishing new purification standards around this critical treatment. This new formulation increases the long-standing confidence physicians have in Grifols’ market leading hyperimmune portfolio.”\nIt is estimated that between 800,000 and 1.4 million people in the U.S. are currently infected with hepatitis B. For patients who have not been previously vaccinated, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend immediate prophylaxis following exposure to hepatitis B, including both HBIG and hepatitis B (HepB) vaccine as soon as possible after exposure (preferably within 24 hours).\n“HBIG for use in prophylaxis is an important treatment choice for our patients who are exposed to the hepatitis B virus. HyperHEP B gives us the flexibility we need with three different presentations, including a pre-filled neonatal syringe,” said Mike Cushner, Director of Inventory, SUNY Upstate Medical Center in Syracuse, NY. “The unique manufacturing process yields a product that aligns well with our own focus on patient well-being in procuring therapies that meet high safety and quality standards.”\nAdditionally, an estimated 25,000 infants are born to HBsAg-positive mothers each year in the U.S. and about 90% of infants with hepatitis B go on to develop chronic infection. For infants born to hepatitis B-infected mothers, the ACIP and CDC recommends that they receive postexposure prophylaxis to reduce their risk for perinatal hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Postexposure prophylaxis consists of HepB vaccine and HBIG administered within 12 hours of birth. Grifols is the only manufacturer that presently produces HBIG in a neonatal syringe format specifically to protect infants born to HBsAg-positive mothers.\nHyperHEP B will now be available to U.S. healthcare providers and patients in three sizes (0.5 mL neonatal syringe, 1 mL vial, and 5 mL vial) through all major distributors. This new formulation is manufactured at Grifols’ state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Clayton, N.C., according to the highest quality and safety standards. Each vial or syringe contains anti-HBs antibody equivalent to or exceeding the potency of anti-HBs in a U.S. reference HBIG (Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, FDA).\nImportant Safety Information for HyperHEP B® (hepatitis B immune globulin [human])\nHyperHEP B® (hepatitis B immune globulin [human]) is indicated for postexposure prophylaxis in the following situations: acute exposure to blood containing HBsAg, perinatal exposure of infants born to HBsAg-positive mothers, sexual exposure to an HBsAg-positive person and household exposure to persons with acute HBV infection.\nHyperHEP B should be given with caution to patients with a history of prior systemic allergic reactions following the administration of human IgG preparations. Epinephrine should be available.\nIn patients who have severe thrombocytopenia or any coagulation disorder that would contraindicate intramuscular injections, hepatitis B immune globulin (human) should be given only if the expected benefits outweigh the risks.\nLocal pain and tenderness at the injection site, urticaria, and angioedema may occur; anaphylactic reactions, although rare, have been reported following the injection of human immunoglobulin preparations. Administration of live virus vaccines (eg, MMR) should be deferred for approximately 3 months after hepatitis B immune globulin (human) administration.\nHyperHEP B is made from human plasma. Products made from human plasma may contain infectious agents, such as viruses, and, theoretically, the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) agent that can cause disease. There is also the possibility that unknown infectious agents may be present in such products.\nGrifols is a global healthcare company founded in Barcelona in 1909 committed to improving the health and well-being of people around the world. Its four divisions – Bioscience, Diagnostic, Hospital and Bio Supplies – develop, produce and market innovative solutions and services that are sold in more than 100 countries.\nPioneers in the plasma industry, Grifols operates a growing network of donation centers worldwide. It transforms collected plasma into essential medicines to treat chronic, rare and, at times, life-threatening conditions. As a recognized leader in transfusion medicine, Grifols also offers a comprehensive portfolio of solutions designed to enhance safety from donation to transfusion. In addition, the company supplies tools, information and services that enable hospitals, pharmacies and healthcare professionals to efficiently deliver expert medical care.\nGrifols, with more than 24,000 employees in 30 countries and regions, is committed to a sustainable business model that sets the standard for continuous innovation, quality, safety and ethical leadership.\nIn 2020, Grifols’ economic impact in its core countries of operation was EUR 7.5 billion. The company also generated 140,000 jobs, including indirect and induced.\nThe company’s class A shares are listed on the Spanish Stock Exchange, where they are part of the Ibex-35 (MCE:GRF). Grifols’ non-voting class B shares are listed on the Mercado Continuo (MCE:GRF.P) and on the U.S. NASDAQ through ADRs (NASDAQ:GRFS).", "domain": "health"}

It treats skin discoloration, lightens age spots, reduces wrinkles, remediates eczema, clears acne, reduces the appearance of rosacea and heals scarring.\nThe FDA does approve of light therapy and says that use of red light at 633 nm has a “non significant risk” status and is completely safe for the eyes, and uses no harmful UV rays.\nThere are two kinds of red light therapy that are frequently confused. One is offered at tanning salons in their beds and also at exercise facilities. Those types of red light therapy use infra red rays which are heat sources and you cannot get them as close to the skin as they need to be to be useful to the skin, though they can be useful for joint pain relief. The second kind of red light therapy used is LED light therapy technology. This is the kind Salon Nouveau is offering and there is virtually no heat involved. To stimulate collagen, a very specific frequency of red light must be used from the light spectrum. Tanning bed red bulbs are 633 nm. Our LED bulbs are 700 nm, exactly the part of the red spectrum that is needed to be absorbed through all the layers of the skin, reaching down to the mitochondria in the bottom layer of the dermis. This layer of the skin is responsible for producing collagen and elastin which keep the skin looking young. With age, the body is less able to produce collagen and elastin, so stimulating the mitochondria there is clearly rejuvenating. The LED bulbs can penetrate to a depth of 10 mm, reaching all the way to the bottom of the dermis to the fatty layer, which also makes it beneficial as a natural anti-inflammatory treatment, leaving sagging skin plumped, radiant and glowing. To have red light therapy be effective, the bulbs must be very close to the skin, just another reason tanning bed bulbs will not be efficient.\nThe first 3 or 4 treatments should be closer together with following treatments once or twice a week until the desired effect is achieved. The therapy should be maintained so that the results are lasting, with treatments as needed once or twice a month depending on your skin condition and age.", "domain": "health"}

At Kevin Spees Dentistry, your comfort and health are our top priority. Because of this, Dr. Spees and his team are proud to provide dental fillings for those with decayed, cracked, broken, or worn teeth!\nWhat is a dental filling?\nDental fillings are made of tooth-colored resin that is placed on a damaged tooth to restore its natural shape and function. This resin is typically made of a combination of finely-ground acrylic and quartz-like particles. The material can be tinted to match the color of your surrounding teeth.\nThese filings are used for a variety of treatments. For those with tooth decay, this treatment can be used to fill the gap left after the decayed portion of the tooth is cleared away. Also, it can be used to fill in cracks and restore broken parts of a tooth. These types of fillings are also often used in cosmetic tooth bonding.\nWhat are the benefits of a dental filling?\nDental fillings restore the appearance and function of a damaged tooth. The material can be shaped and molded as it is applied to the tooth to provide a natural final look. In addition, fillings offer a protective layer over the tooth's surface, which can effectively seal off bacteria. This can help prevent further infection and decay. Once the decay is removed and the filling applied, your teeth will look and feel like new again.\nWhat is the difference between inlays and onlays?\nInlays and Onlays are often referred to as partial crowns. These are usually made from porcelain or composite resin in an off-site laboratory. Once the inlay or onlay is ready, it is cemented to the tooth. This treatment is usually reserved for extensive damage – such as if more than a third of a tooth's surface is damaged.\nFillings are made in our office and do not take as long to apply. They are ideal for smaller injuries that do not need extensive work. Fillings are a natural-looking, cost-effective option for those with surface-level damage.\nWhat is the procedure for a filling?\nAfter an initial consultation with Dr. Spees, a local anesthetic will be applied to the affected area. Dr. Spees and his skilled team will remove any damaged or decayed areas of the tooth before placing the filling. The material will be shaped to match your natural tooth. As a final step, the resin will be hardened and your dentist will check your bite to ensure the alignment is comfortable.\nWith proper care, fillings can last between 5 and 12 years.", "domain": "health"}

This adjustable stool is made with a lightweight yet sturdy aluminum base and upholstered in black antimicrobial vinyl that's easy to clean and disinfect, which is particularly helpful in healthcare settings.\nThe ergonomic benefits of this split-seat saddle stool make it a great option for promoting employee wellness and satisfaction. Many studies report numerous health benefits of using saddle seat stools. Saddle seat stools promote better posture and open up the hips and chest. They also relieve lower back pressure by shifting your body weight to your thigh muscles rather than having most of the weight on the back in a normal seated position.\nThese stools engage your core muscles and promote active sitting so the body doesn't become as stiff or uncomfortable during long periods of sitting. The design of the stool also works to loosen tight hip flexors that may contribute to or worsen back pain and discomfort.\nSplit-seat saddle stools offer the additional benefit of improved ventilation and superior adjustability. The left cushion can be adjusted outwards to achieve the proper seat width for each user. Additionally, the entire cushion can be adjusted to a forward pitch if desired. The cushioned backrest offers additional back support during work-intensive procedures and provides added stability while sitting.\nEmployees across all industries can benefit from ergonomic features and potential health benefits of saddle stools. Doctors and healthcare professionals are some of the top users of these types of stools due to the nature of their work. However, beauticians, artists and vet techs will all appreciate the reduction in fatigue and increase in mobility.\nThe split saddle seat is width adjustable and is cushioned with a high-density molded foam. The stool's cushion is upholstered in an easy-to-clean black antimicrobial vinyl, which is a great fit for any healthcare setting. Simply adjust the pitch of the seat forward if desired for even more active sitting.\nThe lightweight yet sturdy aluminum base is 22 inches in diameter to fit perfectly in small exam rooms and supports users up to 300 pounds. This stool easily moves with your body on five swivel casters. Standard seat height range is 22 to 29 inches high from the center of the seat to the floor. Need something a little taller? Purchase the optional foot ring kit with taller optional gas cylinder to increase the seat height range to 24 to 31 inches.\nShips unassembled. Shipping weight is 32 pounds. PRICE INCLUDES SHIPPING!

I will also discuss with them their background and any events in their life that may have contributed to their current difficulties. Clients only need to discuss things that they are comfortable with.\nI deliver specialist assessments on adults, young people and children for:\n- Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)\n- Specific Learning Difficulties\n- Challenging Behaviours\n- Low Self-esteem\n- Panic attacks and agoraphobia\n- Social anxiety\n- Generalised Anxiety (Worry)\n- Hypochondriasis (Health Anxiety)\n- Obsessional and compulsive behaviours\n- Specific Phobias\n- Post-traumatic stress (PTSD)\n- Work related stress\n- Anger control problems\n- Sleep disruption\n- Attachment difficulties\n- Relationship difficulties\nFollowing assessment, the client and I design and undertake individually tailored support packages and therapeutic intervention. These seek to build a deeper understanding of the psychological difficulties faced and to explore associated emotions, thoughts and behaviours.\nTherapy involves deriving a shared understanding or formulation of the client’s difficulties. That is, consolidating the gathered information, exploring repeating patterns throughout their life and looking at how the past might have impinged upon the present.\nIntervention involves activities outside the therapy session aimed at adjusting or managing the person’s emotions, thoughts and behaviours, such as keeping a diary.\nBelow are some of the therapies that I provide.\nI provide medico-legal assessments, reports and expert witness testimony, throughout the UK, in a number of specialist areas. These include cognitive functioning, intellectual disability, personality disorder, mental health, forensic and risk assessment (including malingering) and family and parenting assessment.\nI use an extensive battery of standardised psychometric assessment measures that are widely recognised and have proven validity and reliability. I also deliver effective psychological treatment when it is recommended as part of the medico-legal process.\nThe instructions I receive are wide in scope and encompass most areas of the law, for example, litigation, criminal and family law.\nI recognise the importance that a clear understanding of an individual's circumstances and mental health state pre and post injury should be established. This can assist in prescribing an accurate future prognosis.\nI provide comprehensive assessments that inform the court of the extent to which mental health problems, underlying personality disturbance or cognitive impairment may have influenced a defendant's actions.\nI undertake comprehensive assessments of the psychological well-being of children and their relationships with adults involved in their care. Parenting assessments can assist the court in determining the most effective way forward for parenting and parenting support needs.\nTraining to healthcare professionals\nI deliver training to those caring for children, young people, adults (including those with severe and enduring mental health problems and learning disabilities) and families in a number of settings, for example, residential settings, supportive housing, children's homes and fostering agencies. I deliver training on-site, anywhere in the UK, for groups of up to 16 people and lasting between one and five days.\nTraining is aimed at improving the carer's insight into the difficulties faced by the people they are supporting. Training encourages reflection on their own working practice and interactional style, as well as on the dynamics of the wider team. It equips them with a toolkit of evidence-based intervention strategies they can translate directly into their day-to-day work, boosting skills, knowledge, confidence and enthusiasm.\nWhere required, training courses can be augmented with on-going consultancy, and later, with post-course supervision for staff teams. Consultancy is highly effective in terms of maintaining the knowledge and skill base of staff teams long after there are trained. It is also a very powerful way of supporting and reinforcing the application in practice of the therapeutic interventions they learn through the training process. This is more likely to achieve the best possible outcomes for the organisation.\nBelow is a list of the training courses I offer. All are highly engaging and all are underpinned by strong theoretical foundations and research evidence recommended by NICE and the Department of Health. However, if a specific knowledge or skills gap has been identified, I am happy to develop a new training course that is tailored to your precise requirements.\n- Managing challenging behaviour\n- Cognitive-behavioural management of challenging behaviour\n- Psychological approaches to de-escalating anger and aggression\n- Child development and attachment\n- Enhancing self-esteem\n- Positive approaches to risk management\n- Introduction to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder\n- Introduction to Autistic Spectrum Disorders\n- Mental Health Awareness\n- Understanding and managing self-harm\n- Child sexual abuse: The road to recovery\n- Managing the symptoms of psychosis\n- Enhancing self-esteem in people with psychosis\n- Understanding Bipolar Disorder\n- Understanding Eating Disorders\n- Working with trauma\n- Developing effective therapeutic relationships\nI offer a range of services aimed at improving mental health, well-being and productivity in the workplace. These services are only implemented following a process of detailed consultation allowing me to understand an organisation’s specific HR or management needs and to then tailor interventions accordingly. Below are some of the programmes I have previously delivered.\nI help employees identify early indicators of stress and burnout in terms of people’s cognitive processes, emotional responses, physiological sensations and behavioural patterns. Tailored strategies can be implemented to enhance resilience and the ability to cope with sustained pressure.\nIndividuals can be assisted to develop strategies for identifying internal and external conflict and to find helpful ways to resolve these.\nI have developed a highly effective approach to optimising the performance of individuals who are working in demanding roles. Programmes include an assessment of information processing, memory and the use of different cognitive modalities in task performance. I provide tailored strategies that significantly enhance working memory, information processing and efficiency in performing work roles.\nI help individuals and teams to communicate more effectively and to manage their anxiety in social and performance situations. I intervene to change unhelpful thinking patterns, control emotional and physical reactions and replace unhelpful behaviours with positive coping strategies.\nI deliver training programmes that enable employees to identify and consider the effectiveness of their current coping strategies, and to learn a range of specific evidence-based techniques that help them minimise the effects of stress.", "domain": "health"}

Jimenez-Garcia, PhD. | Director of Medical and Scientific Affairs\nThe therapeutic properties of the cannabis plant have been claimed in Spain since the time of Al-Andalus. Perhaps that’s why most of us bemoan Spain’s apparent regulatory inertia when it comes to cannabis, noting that others in the European Union (EU), such as Germany and Portugal, have already regulated medicinal use under a modern framework. However, recent developments in Spain have given some a reason to change their tune, with the Government backing reforms. Here’s our initial take on this important headline.\nA Brief History of Medicinal Cannabis Regulation in Spain\nThe main legislation that applies to the medicinal use and cultivation of cannabis in Spain still derives from the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs and its updated protocol (specifically Law 17/1976 on narcotics and subsequent modifications). However, to date patient access to legal medicinal cannabis (excluding pharmaceuticals such as Sativex) has been extremely limited, if not to say non-existent.\nLooking back into the history of our country, we discover that intense campaigning for legalization of medical cannabis has seen limited success, both at a national level as well as various autonomous communities. For example, the Catalonian parliament passed a progressive bill in 2001, which urged the central Government to carry out the necessary steps needed to federally authorize the therapeutic use of cannabis. Alas, it would be two decades before seeing any real progress on the matter.\nMeanwhile in 2005, Sativex, a cannabinoid-based drug prescribed to alleviate certain symptoms of multiple sclerosis, was approved for use by AEMPS (The Spanish Agency of Medicines and Medical Devices). Then in 2021, Epidyolex, an anticonvulsant for the adjuvant treatment of Lennox-Gastaut and Dravet syndromes, considered two of the most severe forms of epileptic encephalopathy, was also approved. While some patients in Spain enjoy greater access to cannabis-based medicines after these developments, the combined sales of Sativex & Epidyolex suggest that the majority are still turning to grey or illicit markets for supply.\nA Small Step In The Right Direction\nIn mid 2021, after mounting political and social pressure calling for the Government to implement a broader, more inclusive regulatory framework, the Congress of Deputies (Congress) finally decided to act. A sub-committee was setup with a mandate to analyze the regulation of cannabis for medicinal use in other countries, among other topics. Interdisciplinary experts took part and submitted their reflections, which culminated in a draft technical report being issued in May 2022, which included recommendations to be considered as guidelines for developing the regulation. After some debate and negotiations resulting in amendments to the initial draft, the sub-committee approved the report’s recommendations on June 21st 2022.\nThe following week, the Health and Consumption Commission (a permanent legislative commission within Congress) gave the report its formal approval on June 27th 2022, marking the beginning of the process of creating the regulation which will govern the medicinal use of cannabis in Spain.\nAt this point, AEMPS, has six months to adopt the recommendations of the Commission and fit them into existing Spanish law. Although, it’s unclear whether this is a fixed deadline or the Agency will request additional time considering the size of the task at hand. It’s also our understanding that since the Government has already agreed to follow the recommendations laid out in the report, and rejected the need to elevate the subject to Congress for debate and approval, the regulations prepared by AEMPS will not be subject to subsequent votes, be that in Congress or the Senate.\nWhat Was Recommended?\nThere’s a lot to unpack from the reports recommendations but also a lot left to define. As the saying goes, “the devil is always in the detail”. In this case, the detail rests on AEMPS and how they interpret the initial guidelines, which should translate into regulation by the end of the year.\nThe report recommends that medicinal cannabis be restricted to a subset of patients seeking relief from a defined list of indications, which include:\nAccess to medicinal cannabis can be extended to other therapeutic cases not already indicated when studies provide consistent evidence of its efficacy.\nReading between the lines, the recommendations imply that patients will not be able to access medical cannabis as a treatment option of first resort. Instead, it appears that cannabis should be considered only when more conventional treatments have failed. Nevertheless, it must be noted that this is not entirely clear in the report.\nWho Will Prescribe?\nThe report recommends that prescriptions of medicinal cannabis must be carried out exclusively by health professionals and preferably by medical specialists with skills in areas covered by the authorized indications, as long as they are free of potential conflicts of interest. In their interpretation of these recommendations, it’s our hope that AEMPS broaden the scope of prescribers to include other specialists and GP’s in order to facilitate better patient access. The report also indicates that training in the use of medicinal cannabis among qualified prescribers should be carried out – the content of which and by who are also not clear at this stage.\nA lot of debate centered around distribution mechanisms, particularly decisions regarding where medicinal cannabis will be dispensed. The final report states that dispensing must be done from the health system pharmacy network and preferably hospital pharmacies. However, the door has been left open to the inclusion of community pharmacies that meet certain requirements. Whether this includes general or compounding pharmacies, or both is yet to be determined.\nTypes of Products\nOn this particular subject covered by the recommendations, there’s a lot left open to interpretation. It appears the type of medicinal cannabis products allowed under new regulation will be limited to extracts and/or standardized cannabis preparations. Furthermore, the use of magistral formulas (individual medications that are prepared by the pharmacist) based on extracts and/or standardized preparations will also be evaluated for certain cases. A more precise definition and under what conditions products will be manufactured, registered and distributed still needs to be developed.\nCannabis flower and other types of preparations that are available in European Union countries will also be considered for approval but only for R&D purposes i.e. strictly for use in clinical and other scientific trials.\nThose expecting a six month turn around, as some headlines have suggested, may be disappointed. Practically speaking, it could take at least 12-18 months before we see medicinal cannabis available in the Spanish market. What lies ahead is an incredibly complex task to assemble all the elements of a robust, patient-centric and inclusive medicinal cannabis system. Even if regulation is in place by the end of the year, there’s a lot that comes after this.\nA multidisciplinary effort is needed to develop things like pathology-driven treatment protocols, general and specific education for health professionals in the field of cannabis medicine, product registration process, supply chain infrastructure, downstream services including clinical assistance programs for patients and much more. This of course is assuming that the political winds keep blowing in the right direction. With a federal election slated for late 2023, there may still be an additional twist to this tale.\nSpain is more prepared than many other EU countries were prior to their regulatory reforms. For starters it boasts a rich ecosystem supported by top scientists and academics from leading universities with deep expertise in cannabis research already. It has a thriving agricultural sector with active medicinal cannabis cultivation projects, ensuring long-term production sovereignty (a total of 16 research and commercial licenses already issued at time of writing this article) and world-class pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing capabilities. Perhaps most importantly, Spain has significant public support for the legalization of medicinal cannabis.\nOverall, we remain extremely optimistic about the prospects of a regulated medicinal cannabis market in Spain. It won’t always be perfect; it will evolve as we do. What’s certain today is that we’ve taken our first steps and that’s good news for everyone – especially for those patients whose lives could materially change thanks to one amazing plant called cannabis.\nConclusions and recommendations in the subcommittees’ report (pages 57-58):\nMinutes from the Health Commissions’ debate and subsequent approval of the subcommittees report on June 27, 2022 (pages 2-11, 20-21):", "domain": "health"}

Regardless if you are training for muscle gains, to lose weight or to maintain a good health it is important and also interesting to know what is really going on inside of your body.\nYou may think you are losing weight (fat) when you are in fact burning muscle instead of fat. You may feel healthy but store a lot of fat around your internal organs which is hidden for the eye but can make a big difference to your health. Or maybe your skeletal muscle mass (muscles that are attached to your bones i.e. quads, hamstrings, biceps etc.) is lower than you expect even though you are working hard in the gym every day.\nBy undergoing a scan we can get information that we can use to help develop a training and/or nutrition plan for you, motivate you to work harder to reach your goal and to help you get healthier and stronger.\nThis can be done as a one-time scan to know where you are at with your health or fitness but to get best results and to accurately track your progress, the scans should be done once every 6-8 weeks.\nThe scan takes approximately 60 seconds to complete. Compared to the commonly used way of measure body fat percentage, (callipers) you do not have to get undressed to do this scan. No awkward undressing in front of a stranger for him/her to awkwardly pinch you all over your body. You can undertake this scan wearing anything you feel comfortable in.\nYou simply step up on the electrode scale, grip the handles with electrodes and wait for 30-60 seconds until the scan is completed.\nTo think about before doing a scan\nEat as per normal routines on the day of your scan but it is recommended not to eat within 2 hours before the scan.\nEmpty your bladder before the test\nIf possible, empty your bladder just before the test to allow for a more accurate body fat result.\nCoffee and alcohol\nCaffeine and alcohol cause dehydration in your muscles which may affect the test result. If possibly, abstain from consuming alcohol 24 hours prior the test.\nBreast implants may increase the body fat reading by around 2-4%. However, the progress tracking will still be accurate.\nCertain steroids can affect your body’s density and can therefore affect the Bioelectrical Impedance value which could affect the actual measurement.\nIt is not advised to scan if you are pregnant or have a pacemaker", "domain": "health"}

Helps You Regain Independence\nIt can be a blow to the dignity if you need help doing basic hygiene, even if it is only minor help to enter and exit the bathtub. A walk-in tub can give back your independence. This is especially important if you live alone, as it means you can bathe when it is convenient to you and not only when there is in-home help available.\n2. Increases Safety\nSafety can be a real concern in the bathtub, no matter your age. Slip and fall accidents are responsible for many injuries and even deaths. Walk-in tubs are safer to get in and out of. Further, there are additional safety bars and seats inside the tub to make a slip even less likely. Caution is still necessary, but the walk-in tub is not as dangerous as the step-over tub wall.\n3. Aids with Aging In Place Goals\nIf aging in place is your goal, the bathroom can be one of the more challenging rooms to remodel to meet this goal. Safety bars help only so much, particularly if the tub or shower has a lip that can make it hard to step into. A walk-in tub with its handy door makes it easier to bathe unassisted or with only minimal assistance as you age in your home. Most adults will suffer at least a short-term mobility issue at some point as they age, so preparing the bathroom before you need a walk-in tub is ideal.\n4. Offers Therapeutic Options\nWalk-in tubs provide more than safety and accessibility benefits, they can also help you age with more comfort. Many tubs come with spa features, such as massage jets and hydrotherapy settings. These options can relieve sore muscles and tired joints, helping you recover more quickly from the normal effects of aging. Even younger people, especially those that are active, can benefit from the therapeutic options.\n5. Offers Home Value Benefits\nA walk-in tub can increase the value of your home, especially if you live in an area with an aging population that may treasure the ability to age in place safely. Many people have to retrofit bathrooms later in life due to accessibility concerns, so it adds value if the bathroom has already been remodeled with a walk-in tub.\nContact a walk-in tub dealer to see the options that are available for your home.", "domain": "health"}

However, caring for a betta fish requires more than just feeding them and changing their water. In this comprehensive guide, we will cover everything you need to know about how to properly care for a betta fish to ensure they live a long and healthy life.\n1. Setting Up the Perfect Habitat for Your Betta Fish\nTank Size and Water Parameters\nWhen it comes to setting up a habitat for your betta fish, the first thing to consider is the tank size. While bettas are often kept in small bowls, it is recommended to provide them with at least a 1-gallon tank to allow for proper swimming space. In terms of water parameters, bettas thrive in temperatures ranging from 72-82°F and a pH level between 6.0-8.0. It is essential to invest in a good quality water heater and thermometer to maintain these optimal conditions for your betta fish.\nIn addition to the tank size and water parameters, the setup of the tank is crucial for the well-being of your betta fish. Bettas are labyrinth fish, which means they breathe air from the surface, so it is important to leave some space between the water level and the top of the tank. Decorate the tank with live or silk plants to provide hiding spots and create a stimulating environment for your betta fish. Adding a gentle filter and a heater will help maintain water quality and temperature, ensuring a comfortable habitat for your betta.\n- Choose a tank size of at least 1 gallon.\n- Maintain water temperature between 72-82°F.\n- Keep pH levels within the range of 6.0-8.0.\n2. Feeding Your Betta Fish a Balanced Diet\nTypes of Food\nProper nutrition is essential for the health of your betta fish. Betta fish are carnivorous and require a high-protein diet to thrive. You can feed your betta fish a variety of foods, including pellets, flakes, frozen or live foods such as bloodworms and brine shrimp. It is important to provide a balanced diet to prevent nutritional deficiencies and keep your betta fish healthy.\nWhen it comes to feeding your betta fish, moderation is key. Overfeeding can lead to obesity and other health issues, while underfeeding can result in malnutrition. A general rule of thumb is to feed your betta fish 2-3 pellets twice a day, adjusting the amount based on their appetite and activity level. It is also recommended to incorporate fasting days into their feeding schedule to aid digestion and prevent bloating.\n- Offer a variety of foods such as pellets, flakes, and live foods.\n- Feed your betta fish 2-3 pellets twice a day.\n- Incorporate fasting days into their feeding schedule.\n3. Maintaining Water Quality in Your Betta Fish Tank\nRegular Water Changes\nClean water is vital for the health of your betta fish. Regular water changes help remove toxins and waste products that can build up in the tank over time. It is recommended to perform a 25% water change every week to keep the water clean and maintain optimal water parameters for your betta fish.\nIn addition to regular water changes, testing the water parameters is essential to ensure a healthy environment for your betta fish. Invest in a water testing kit to monitor the levels of ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, and pH in the tank. Keeping these parameters in check will prevent water quality issues and promote the well-being of your betta fish.\n- Perform a 25% water change every week.\n- Invest in a water testing kit to monitor water parameters.\n- Keep ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, and pH levels in check.\n4. Providing Enrichment and Exercise for Your Betta Fish\nBetta fish are intelligent and curious creatures that benefit from mental stimulation and enrichment. Add decorations such as caves, tunnels, and floating plants to the tank to create hiding spots and explore. You can also introduce tank mates like snails or shrimp to provide social interaction for your betta fish, but be cautious as bettas can be territorial and aggressive towards other fish.\nWhile bettas do not require as much space to swim as other fish, they still need opportunities for exercise to stay healthy and active. Use a laser pointer or a mirror to encourage your betta fish to swim around the tank and chase after the light. Providing a variety of decorations and changing the tank layout periodically can also stimulate your betta fish and prevent boredom.\n- Add decorations and tank mates for enrichment.\n- Use a laser pointer or mirror for exercise.\n- Change the tank layout periodically to prevent boredom.\n5. Recognizing and Treating Common Betta Fish Health Issues\nCommon Health Problems\nLike any pet, betta fish are susceptible to various health issues. Some common problems that betta fish may experience include fin rot, ich (white spot disease), velvet disease, and swim bladder disorder. It is essential to monitor your betta fish closely for any signs of illness, such as changes in behavior, appetite, or appearance, and seek veterinary care if necessary.\nIf you suspect that your betta fish is unwell, it is crucial to act quickly to prevent the condition from worsening. Depending on the health issue, treatment options may include medicated food, aquarium salt baths, or commercial medications. Quarantine the sick fish in a separate tank to prevent the spread of disease and monitor their progress closely during treatment.\n- Monitor your betta fish for signs of illness.\n- Seek veterinary care if necessary.\n- Treat health issues promptly with appropriate medications.\n6. Breeding Betta Fish Responsibly\nBreeding betta fish can be a rewarding experience, but it requires careful planning and preparation. To breed bettas successfully, you will need a separate breeding tank with a divider to separate the male and female bettas until they are ready to spawn. Provide plenty of hiding spots and plants in the breeding tank to create a conducive environment for the breeding pair.\nWhen the male and female bettas are ready to spawn, introduce them to the breeding tank and monitor their behavior closely. The male betta will build a bubble nest at the surface of the water, and the female will lay eggs for fertilization. Once the eggs are fertilized, remove the female betta from the tank to prevent aggression from the male betta towards her and the fry.\n- Set up a separate breeding tank with a divider.\n- Provide hiding spots and plants for the breeding pair.\n- Remove the female betta after spawning to prevent aggression.\nCaring for a betta fish requires dedication, knowledge, and attention to detail. By providing your betta fish with a suitable habitat, a balanced diet, clean water, enrichment, and proper healthcare, you can ensure that they live a happy and healthy life. Remember to monitor your betta fish regularly for any signs of illness and seek veterinary care when needed. With the right care and commitment, your betta fish will thrive and bring you joy for years to come.", "domain": "health"}

Take the time to educate yourself on what really works before you jump into a new weight loss program.\nDrink green tea to lose some weight. Green tea is known to boost the metabolism and increase energy. Drinking this green tea during the minutes prior to your workout in the morning is always a good idea.\nStart every supper with a salad. Salad has a ton of fiber which makes you feel full. To keep the calories low, stay away from cheese or dressings for salad.\nOne smart idea for weight loss is joining a company like Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig. Organizations like these offer not only support, but a myriad of resources to help in your battle. Make sure you can afford to sign up for one of these programs: you can get the same results if you do some research on your own and cook your own meals.\nTry to celebrate each milestone in weight loss, no matter the size. Have a massage, take an extra yoga class or enjoy a healthy treat. This will keep you motivated and on the right track.\nFocus on staying healthy and not on losing weight. This will keep you bright and energetic during the program. If you solely focus on weight loss, then you get easily discouraged about the prospect of giving up the treats you love most. Many diets fail because you feel like you have to give up eating what you like. Make sure that you incorporate your diet plan gradually.\nA proven tip to losing weight is to avoid eating processed foods. Not buying processed foods can help you become more aware of the foods that you are buying and the ingredients that are in them. Look out for high fructose corn syrup, sodium, trans fat and other unhealthy ingredients.\nBuy a monitor for your heart rate. The effectiveness of the cardio you do depends on your heart rate. With a monitor, you will know you are working out effectively.\nYou can be more aware of what you eat by having someone else eat with you. A lot of times, eating alone causes you to focus only on the eating and may cause you to clean your plate.\nThrow out clothes that are too big once you start shedding pounds. This helps you see how much you’ve lost, and will build up your self-confidence in order to continue. It provides more motivation to maintain your current size, or shed even more inches off your waist.\nTry not using food as a source of entertainment. Certain people greatly enjoy cooking, and as a result, they also enjoy eating. There is nothing wrong with this. Food can be quite enjoyable. You should ensure you have other things you enjoy more than food. You should consider a new and active hobby.\nStart eating whole wheat pasta. When losing weight, you probably want to reduce carbs, which is abundant in pasta. Alternatively, switch to whole wheat pasta. Whole wheat noodles prove healthier than regular pasta. They also fill you up.\nYou tend to eat less by using smaller plate. Research has shown we tend to eat whatever is on our plate no matter the size of the portion. Using a smaller plate may help with portion control. The fact that the plate is full will make you feel less deprived.\nIf you stay on the sunny side of life you will lose weight. You’re in control of your weight; remember this when you feel like slacking off.", "domain": "health"}

There are ways to reduce the harm it can cause and learn to enjoy gambling again in a safe environment.\nIt’s easy to get caught up in a cycle of gambling, so if you are worried about your own or a loved one’s behaviour, talk to someone who can help. They may be able to give you advice or support, and they can tell you where to go for help.\nIf you are new to gambling, start with small amounts of money that you can afford to lose. This will help you to decide how much you want to gamble and set boundaries for yourself.\nSet limits in advance and stop when you reach them. This is better than letting your gambling take over and then having to give up.\nDon’t lie about the amount you spend or hide evidence of your gambling – if you do this, it will make it harder to change your habits.\nKnow why you are gambling – understanding your motivations can help you to avoid harmful behaviours and find healthier alternatives.\nThe most common reasons people gamble are for mood change and the fantasy of winning a big prize, but it can also be a way to relieve unpleasant emotions. If you are having problems with your mental health, talk to a specialist GP or a counsellor about how gambling may be impacting on your wellbeing.\nHaving fun and socialising with friends can be good for your mental health. But if gambling becomes too much, it can interfere with your relationship and lead to depression or other mental health issues.\nGambling can be a problem for anyone, regardless of their age. Young people can be more vulnerable to it because they are less aware of the risks and don’t understand the potential harms.\nIf you are having trouble controlling your gambling, speak to a counsellor or a therapist who can support you. They can work with you to find a treatment or support plan that is right for you.\nBe honest with yourself about how much you are spending on gambling – don’t make it up, or tell anyone else that you are saving the money for a holiday! This will weaken your resolve to control your behaviour and could lead to bigger losses in the future.\nKeep track of your spending – set a budget and stick to it. This will ensure that you don’t overspend, and that your bank account doesn’t fall into debt.\nKeeping control of your finances is important for your mental and physical health. Getting rid of your credit cards, having your bank make automatic payments for you, closing online betting accounts, and having a fixed amount of cash on you will help to keep you in control.\nSeek help if you are having trouble controlling your gambling and it is causing serious harm to yourself or your family. They will be able to support you and provide advice, including contacting the authorities if necessary.", "domain": "health"}

An estimated 6 to 12 million infestations occur each year in the United States, most commonly among children ages 3 to 11.1 I am writing to you to help you learn how to identify lice and provide information on what you can do if lice hit your home.\nWhat are head lice?\nHead lice are tiny, wingless insects that live close to the human scalp. They feed on blood. The eggs, also called nits, are tiny, tear-drop shaped eggs that attach to the hair shaft. Nits often appear yellowish or white and can look like dandruff but cannot be removed or brushed off. The nymph, or baby louse, is smaller and grow to adult size in one to two weeks. The adult louse is the size of a sesame seed appears tan to grayish-white. An itchy and inflamed scalp is a common symptom of lice. Although not common, persistent scratching may lead to skin irritation and even infection.1\nWho is affected by head lice?\nHead lice are not related to cleanliness.2,3 In fact, head lice often infest people with good hygiene and grooming habits.3 Infestations can occur at home, school or in the community. Head lice are mostly spread by direct head-to-head contact—for example, during play at home or school, slumber parties, sports activities or camp. Less often, lice are spread via objects that have been in recent contact with a person with head lice, such as hats, scarves, hair ribbons, combs, brushes, stuffed animals or bedding.1,2\nWhat to do if an infestation occurs?\nIf you think your child has head lice, it’s important to talk to a healthcare provider to discuss the best treatment approach for your family. Resistance to some over-the-counter head lice treatments has been reported, but the prevalence of resistance is not known.4,5 There are new prescription treatment options available that are safe.\nAs your school nurse, I want to provide you with the information you need to safeguard your children’s health and pave the way for a healthy school year. I hope you find this information useful.\nAdditionlly, I am including the link to the 2010 clinical report from the American Academy of Pediatrics which provides additional information and guidance for parents and for schools related to screenings and management of head lice:\nMelissa Jeffries, RN\nHCPS District Nurse\nCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

This medication is widely applied to treat, prevent and control various bacterial diseases. It is used in single medication treatments and in complex approach for coping with bacterial infections or diseases complicated with bacterial inflammations. It is one of the cheapest and safest medications for bacterial infections which should be in every home medicine box. Ampicillin covers typical infections respiratory and urinary tract. It is safe and can be administered to neonates (children less than 28 days old). Ampicillin is available in every offline drug store. However to save costs and efforts you can buy Ampicillin online over the counter. The medication is also available online in countries with strict drug control policy as USA, Canada, UK, Australia. Though Ampicillin is a safe medication, you are recommended to visit a doctor and to do necessary clinical tests to find out the type of bacteria, their quantity in the body and to choose an optimum treatment course with proper dosages of the medication.\nWhat is Ampicillin?\nAmpicillin is a powerful antibiotic covering a wide range of susceptible bacteria. Being non-toxic, Ampicillin is allowed for children and neonates. It comes in various forms to the market. You can buy Ampicillin online in pills and injections. The pills are available in different dosages of 250mg and 500mg. If you buy Ampicillin prior to seeing your doctor, then it is recommended to buy in the lowest dosage possible. Thus you will be able to get an exact dosage for intake if you are prescribed a larger dosage treatment.\nAmpicillin was developed in 1961 and since that time the pharmaceutical industry has not managed to develop another featuring such an efficiency and providing zero risks ad side effects to a patient during treatment. It is on the list of the essentials of WHO.\nThe drug is effective against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. The range of susceptible micro-organisms are as follows:\n- enterococci and some others.\nAmpicillin is a fast acting remedy. It interferes the process of cell wall creation of bacteria when they actively grow and develop by thus preventing them from replication and multiplying. In this case bacteria are unable to spread further over the body contaminating other organs and worsening the disease.\nDirections for the use of Ampicillin\nAmpicillin is a widely applied drug for bacterial infections treatment and prophylaxis. In most cases it requires prescription based on clinical tests which reveal the infection, bacteria and their quantity. Ampicillin should be taken for a certain period of time getting control over a population of bacteria.\nThe drug should be taken only to cope with diseases caused with susceptible types of bacteria. This is the list of most common diseases which are well treated with Ampicillin:\n- endocarditis and other infections of heart tissues\n- respiratory infections as pharyngitis, sinusitis\n- infections and inflammations of kidneys\n- infection fevers\n- ear infections\nAmpicillin should not be chosen for treatment of sexually transmitted diseases as these are commonly of viral nature. Ampicillin is ineffective against viruses.\nAmpicillin is taken according prescription. If you buy Ampicillin online over the counter and do not have a prescription from your doctor, please, follow the instruction provided with the pills as improper treatment with antibiotics may cause liver, kidney, digestion dysfunction. In most cases Ampicillin is combined with other medications which will support the body functioning providing healthy levels of vital bacteria in the stomach or vagina. Though Ampicillin is available online and offline over the counter even in USA, UK, Australia and Canada, still we do recommend to see your doctor and to get a proper plan of treatment.\nHow should I use Ampicillin?\nAmpicillin should only be used as it is prescribed or as it is indicated in the instruction for the medication. In most cases the length of treatment is from 7 to 14 days. Ampicillin is safe for your health and body and will not cause severe dysfunctions. However you should know the exact dosage which will be optimum to cope with the infection fast.\nTake Ampicillin according your schedule with or without meals with a full glass of water. Note that most of the antibiotics will cause discomfort in your stomach and may provoke nausea and vomiting if taken without meals. Ampicillin is recommended to be combined with drugs or vitamins or BAAs containing lactic bacteria which are of vital importance for stomach and digestion.\nDo not take larger dosages of Ampicillin as it is prescribed to you. Increased dosages will not prompt the recovery but will cause overdosing and may result in acute anaphylactic collapse. Such a condition requires immediate emergency help.\nWhat may interact with Ampicillin?\nAmpicillin interacts with many medications as is fobidden to be mixed with some vaccines and drugs. For example, neonates should not get a bcg vaccine if treated with Ampicillin as the combination may result either in serious life threatening condition or weakening of the vaccine action. In the latter case the vaccination will fail and will not induce the development of the immunity against the disease.\nAmpicillin should not be combined wit other antibiotics of the group as they may decrease the efficiency of each other and thus trigger the efficacy of the treatment.\nCheck all the medications you are taking constantly or occasionally and report the list to your health care provider. Mind that herbs and medicine teas should also be included. Ampicillin is not recommended to mix with diuretics and dejectory relaxants as they may excrete the drug from the body faster and trigger the efficacy of the treatment.\nWhat should I watch for while taking Ampicillin?\nAmpicillin is a potent medication. If you take Ampicillin according a prescription then you will feel ease of symptoms right from the first intake. The first symptoms that seize after Ampicillin are fever, itching, flashing and redness.\nPatients who buy Ampicillin online over the counter and take the drug on their own without prescription should carefully track the symptoms and immediately seek for emergency help in case the symptoms get worse. This means that the medication is wrong for the case and the disease progresses.\nAmpicillin commonly does not have contraindications except of allergic reactions to the class of antibiotics. However patients with infectious mononucleosis are not recommended to get Ampicillin treatment. Ampicillin should be carefully administered to women planning pregnancy, pregnant or breastfeeding. The risks of Ampicillin for a baby or a fetus should be evaluated only by healthcare provider.\nWhat side effects may I notice from Ampicillin?\nAmpicillin performs few side effects in comparison to other antibiotics. Most common side effects are the response of the digestive system to a decreased level of vital bacteria needed for normal digestion. These are vomiting, nausea, increased bowel movements, loose stool and constipations. Up to 1,8% of patients notice skin rashes with the drug. Vaginosis and stomatitis are two most common side effects in women.", "domain": "health"}

Learn how to avoid uncomfortable masks and other common CPAP problems.\nContinuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy is a common treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. A CPAP machine uses a hose and mask or nosepiece to deliver constant and steady air pressure.\nCommon problems with CPAP include a leaky mask, trouble falling asleep, stuffy nose and a dry mouth.\nThe good news is that if one CPAP mask or device doesn't work for you, you have other options. And most CPAP masks are adjustable, to help make them more comfortable for you.\nHere are 10 common CPAP problems and what you can do about them:\nWork closely with your doctor and CPAP supplier to make sure you have a CPAP mask that fits properly. Everyone has different face shapes, so the right style and size mask for someone else may not work for you.\nTry a different mask. A range of CPAP masks are available. For example, some feature full face masks that cover your mouth and nose, with straps that stretch across your forehead and cheeks. These may make some people feel claustrophobic, but they work well if you prefer to breathe through your mouth during sleep. They also provide a stable fit if you move around a lot in your sleep.\nOther masks feature nasal pillows that fit under your nose and straps that cover less of your face. These can feel less cumbersome.\nNasal pillows may work well if you wear glasses or read with the mask on, because some don't block your eyes as much as full face masks do. However, this may not be an option if you move around a lot in your sleep or sleep on your side.\nPay attention to size. Most masks come in different sizes. Just because you're a certain size in one mask doesn't mean you'll be the same size in another. CPAP masks are usually adjustable.\nAsk your doctor or CPAP supplier to show you how to adjust your mask to get the best fit. Manufacturer product instructions also can help show you how to do this. A properly fitting mask shouldn't be uncomfortable or cause pain.\nFirst, try wearing just the CPAP mask for short periods of time while you're awake — for example, while watching TV. Then try wearing the mask and hose with the device turned on during the day while you're awake.\n（2）Once you get used to how that feels, start using the CPAP device every time you sleep — including naps. Just wearing the CPAP device every now and then may delay getting used to it. Stick with it for several weeks or more to see if your mask and pressure are right for you.\nYou may be able to overcome this by using a machine with a \"ramp\" feature. This setting allows you to start with low air pressure. The machine then automatically and slowly increases the air pressure to your prescribed setting as you fall asleep. Your doctor can adjust its rate.\nIf this feature doesn't help, talk with your doctor about changing to a device that automatically and constantly adjusts the pressure while you're sleeping. An example is a bi-level positive airway pressure (BPAP) machine that delivers more pressure when you breathe in (inhale) and less when you breathe out (exhale).\nCheck to make sure your mask fits well. A leaky mask can dry out your nose. If you have to tighten straps often to prevent air leakage, the mask does not fit properly.\nA CPAP device that features a heated humidifier, which attaches to the air pressure machine, can help. You can adjust the level of humidification. Using a nasal saline spray at bedtime also can help ease a dry, stuffy nose.\nPractice using your mask while you're awake. First, just hold it up to your face without any of the other parts. Once you're comfortable with that, try wearing the mask with the straps.\nNext, try holding the mask with the attached hose on your face, without using the straps. Turn on the CPAP machine, perhaps with the ramp feature turned on. Next, do this using the straps too. Finally, try sleeping with the mask and machine on.\nRelaxation exercises, such as progressive muscle relaxation, may help reduce anxiety related to CPAP use.\nIf you're still feeling claustrophobic, talk to your doctor or CPAP supplier. It may help to get a different size mask or try a different style, such as one that uses nasal pillows.\nA leaky or an ill-fitting mask means you're not getting the full air pressure you need, and you may be irritating your skin. The mask can also blow air into your eyes, causing them to become dry or teary.\nTry adjusting pads and straps to get a better fit. If the device fits over your nose, make sure it doesn't sit too high on the bridge of your nose, which can direct air into your eyes.\nYou may need to ask your supplier to help you find a different size mask, particularly if your weight has changed a lot. Or try a different style device such as a nasal pillow. If you develop skin deterioration or sores, such as on your nose, tell your doctor promptly.\nWearing the mask alone for some time during the day may help you get used to how it feels and make it easier to fall asleep at night.\nMachines with the ramp feature that slowly and gradually increase the air pressure to your prescribed pressure setting as you fall asleep may make you more comfortable at bedtime.\nFollowing good general sleep habits also are helpful. Exercise regularly and avoid caffeine and alcohol before bedtime. Try to relax. For example, take a warm bath before you go to bed. Don't go to bed until you're tired.\nIf you breathe through your mouth at night or sleep with your mouth open, some CPAP devices may worsen dry mouth. A chin strap may help keep your mouth closed and reduce the air leak if you wear a nasal mask.\nA full-face-mask-style device that covers your mouth and nose also may work well for you. A CPAP-heated humidifier that attaches to the air pressure machine also may help.\nIt's normal to sometimes wake up to find you've removed the mask in your sleep. If you move a lot in your sleep, you may find that a full face mask will stay on your face better.\nYou may be pulling off the mask because your nose is congested. If so, ensuring a good mask fit and adding a CPAP-heated humidifier may help. A chin strap also may help keep the device on your face.\nIf this is a consistent problem, consider setting an alarm for sometime in the night, to check whether the device is still on. You could progressively set the alarm for later in the night if you find you're keeping the device on longer.\nMost new models of CPAP devices are almost silent. But if you find a device's noise is bothersome, first check to make sure the device air filter is clean and unblocked. Something in its way may worsen noise. Ask your doctor or CPAP supplier how to properly clean your mask and hose.\nIf this doesn't help, have your doctor or CPAP supplier check the device to ensure it's working properly. If the device is working correctly and the noise still bothers you, try wearing earplugs or using a white noise sound machine to mask the noise. Placing the machine as far away from the bed as possible also may help make any machine noise less noticeable. Ask your doctor or CPAP supplier if extra tubing is available and right for your machine.\nUsing a CPAP device can be frustrating as you try to get used to it, but it's important you stick with it. The treatment is essential to avoiding complications of obstructive sleep apnea, such as heart problems and excessive daytime sleepiness.\nWork with your doctor and CPAP supplier to ensure the best fit and device for you. Regular visits to your sleep doctor are important and can help troubleshoot any problems and adjust settings, if needed. It can take a while to find the correct settings and get used to the mask.\nWith time and patience, CPAP can positively affect your quality of life and health.\nChoosing a mask.

SARMs can help women build their muscles and burn fat with minimal side effects. Many women find SARMs to be as effective as prohormones and steroids. Here are answers to some frequently asked questions about SARMs for women.\nHow Do SARMs Work?\nSARMs target androgen receptors in a person’s bone and muscle cells. This is why they are used to assist in bone and muscle growth with little effect on other body cells. SARMs usually target specific tissues like bone and muscles and are not concerned with the liver, brain, or prostate. This translates to rapid bone and muscle growth with unnecessary growth in other body parts.\nSARMs do not disintegrate into molecules that promote side effects such as estrogen and DHT as easily as steroids. Additionally, since SARMs are not as powerful as regular steroids, you should not expect them to significantly suppress your natural testosterone production. Therefore, it is easier to recover from this suppression of testosterone production, and you rarely need to go for post-cycle therapy (PCT).\nWhich SARMs are Best Suited for Women?\nThe most recommended SARMs for women include:\nWhen choosing SARMs, one of the important things to bear in mind is that you should use a low dosage. For example, a dosage of 10mg of Ostarine several days a week will result in minimal side effects. However, if you take a dosage of 10mg daily, the results will be better, but you stand a chance of experiencing significant side effects. Ostarine is popular because it is effective and one of the most researched SARM.\nOn the other hand, Lingandrol is great for building muscle and is a top choice for female competitors. Cardarine is popular among women because it burns fat quickly, corrects metabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity, and helps boost energy levels. Cardarine is also helpful for recovering from injuries arising from surgeries or accidents.\nWhat Are the Side Effects of SARMs?\nSARMs have minimal side effects if used correctly. Experts recommend that you should start with a low dose and advance from there. Some of the potential side effects among women include:\n- Increased sex drive\n- A deepening of the voice\nHow to Control the Side Effects of SARMs\nThe most important thing to note is that the side effects of SARMs are caused by overdose and long-term use. If you follow the recommended dosage, you can easily avoid most of these side effects.\nThe Benefits of Using SARMs\nExtensive research shows that SARMs help users gain up to 15 pounds of muscle tissue. This is the reason they use SARMs for a duration of 12 weeks. Additionally, SARMs improve muscle growth and burn fat. SARMs are the best choice of supplements for women who intended to gain muscle mass and burn fat. While steroids are more effective than SARMs when it comes to gaining muscle or burning fat, they come with very harsh side effects. SARMs are much gentler and have fewer if no side effects. One rule of thumb is to follow the doctor’s prescriptions and not to use them for an extended period.", "domain": "health"}

The situation becomes more difficult when the person who has fallen ill can no longer make decisions for themselves.\nFortunately, having an Advance Health Care Directive ensures that you have a say in your medical care in these situations. Understanding the necessary steps and procedures to secure and establish any type of advance directive can be overwhelming. Davis Toft, APC can assist you in navigating this process.\nOne of the most important rights concerning a person’s life and health is their ability to make their own decisions regarding medical treatment. If an individual is unable to communicate their wishes for any reason, then the burden falls on their family to make those decisions for them. This process is often challenging and emotionally charged, especially if there is no known plan and family members disagree on potential treatments or medical options.\nAn advance directive allows someone to clearly define the medical care they would like to receive in the event of an incapacitating illness or injury. It is a formal, written statement detailing an individual’s wishes for medical treatment in the event that they are unable to directly communicate with medical professionals. Advance directives guarantee that you receive the care you want, and they also help reduce undue stress from your loved ones.\nThere are four main types of advance directives. Each one pertains to a certain aspect of medical care, and they each have a specific purpose.\nIn many cases, additional documents are included with these advance directives. A Physician’s Order for Life-Saving Treatment (POLST) allows an individual to make decisions with the approval of their medical provider for future care. Similarly, a Do-Not-Resuscitate (DNR) Order allows an individual to choose under which specific conditions they want medical providers to attempt to resuscitate them. These are not required as part of an advance directive. However, many people choose to include them for peace of mind, especially if they are facing terminal illness.\nThe most common types of advance directives that are utilized are the Living Will, the Medical Power of Attorney, and the Advance Healthcare Directive. Psychiatric Advance Directives have been used with growing frequency in recent years, but they are still not as commonly used as the others.\nThe state of California recognizes Medical Power of Attorney, the Living Will, and the Advance Healthcare Directive. The documentation forms for each Advance Directive are comprised of three main parts, including:\nOnce your Advance Health Care Directive has been completed and signed by the necessary witnesses, you are responsible for sharing it with any necessary parties. This may include family, friends, or medical providers. An Advance Medical Directive can also be changed at any time in California by completing a new form that is witnessed and signed.\nTo finalize your advance directive with a notary, the form must include your signature and the date, but it does not require signatures from two witnesses. However, the state of California does not require that an Advance Health Care Directive be notarized. If you are not notarizing your Advance Health Care Directive, it can be finalized with your signature and the signatures of two witnesses. The form will provide detailed instructions and requirements for the witness signatures.\nThe process of developing an Advance Health Care Directive can seem overwhelming. It may also seem time-consuming and confusing to fully understand what needs to be included. Detailing how you want your medical care to be handled in the event that you are incapable of your own decision-making is a major task. Working with an experienced Laguna Beach estate planning attorney can help make the process easier. It can also provide you and your family with peace of mind.

During a Walk and Talk session the natural environment becomes the therapy room.\nThe natural environment can provide a space to allow you to think more freely, to engage your senses and to explore your feelings.

The easy and moderate walks are on flat or undulating terrain. All walks offer a mix of public footpaths, bridleways, open countryside and quiet country lanes as well as walks suitable for times when the weather conditions are less favourable. You will not need to be 'super fit' or even very outdoors orientated to benefit from this setting for your counselling.\nSessions will run in most weather conditions but if too severe the session will take place indoors in Whaley Bridge, SK23.\nOur initial consultation together will take place in a counselling room so we can discuss the differences of working outdoors, considering together things like where we meet, how we manage the time, the weather and the pace etc.\nWalk and Talk sessions take place in High Peak and Cheshire.\nWalk and Talk Therapy\nCopyright © Helen Madden Counselling.

Most of the time, they go away on their own, and in a couple of hours, you have forgotten that you ever had one. Others frequently have headaches, and then there are those who suffer from migraines. It may be monthly, or weekly, but no matter how frequently or infrequently, for many who do experience regular headaches and migraines, you know just how debilitating they can be. What many people don’t know is that acupuncture and Chinese medicine can help ease and reduce the number and severity of headaches and migraines\nThere are several types of headaches, each with their own set of symptoms, but I find the most common headaches that people come to see me about are;\nTension headache – The most common type of headache, pain is generally felt at the back of the head and neck which may refer to the eyes, or pain may be felt around the temples. They are usually cause by muscle tension, poor posture or a poor pillow resulting in the alignment of the neck being out. They may also be caused by trigger points in the muscle due to ongoing stress or again poor posture\nSinus headache – these are the headache you often get when you have a cold and are all blocked up. If you have sinusitis, you probably suffer from this type of headache frequently. Often in this case they are treated with decongestants, or antibiotics\nMigraines – A migraine is a type of headache and are normally throbbing in nature and last between 4 and 72 hours. They usually occur on one side of the head, and are often accompanied by other symptoms such as:\nSensitivity to light, sound and/smell\nNumbness and/or tingling down the arm\nSlurred speech or inability to speak\nNeck and shoulder stiffness\nSome people may have migraines that present with the accompanying symptoms, but without the pain. They may be triggered by certain foods, bright or flickering lights, stress, hormones, skipping meals, loud noises, strong smells or even weather changes, with some people being more sensitive than others.\nSo how can Chinese Medicine help?\nAs with all conditions in Chinese Medicine, migraines are broken down into categories based on what is causing them. Some common patterns in Chinese Medicine are;\nWind-Heat or Wind-Cold – These types of headaches and migraines may occur when you catch a cold, or you may have started to develop re-occurring migraines after a particularly severe cold or flu. They may also be triggered but the weather, either being out in the cold or in the heat for too long.\nWind-Damp – These are the headaches that come on when there is a sudden change of weather. You may feel like a weather barometer because you always get a headache right before that storm front comes through.\nBlood stasis due to injury – remember that car accident where you had whiplash, and ever since you have had headaches? In Chinese Medicine that injury cause blood stasis, and the pain can is often sharp, like being stabbed by needles\nLiver Yang Uprising – These are the headaches or migraines that tend to occur more frequently in Spring. They may also be triggered by frustration and anger.\nDeficiency – Deficiency patterns usually present with a dull, aching type of headache. Depending on the type of deficiency (Qi, Blood, Yin, Jing) and the meridian affected, can determine the other symptoms and the triggers. Deficient headaches and migraines may be triggered by hormone changes, emotional and physical stress and fatigue.\nThere are many other types of headaches and migraines, and often people don’t have just one type but may have a combination of patterns that is leading to their headaches.\nTreatments are based on your diagnosis; if you have a deficiency headache then that deficiency is treated, or if you have a deficiency with a stagnation, then acupuncture and herbs are given to remove the stagnation and tonifying the deficiency meridians. Advice is given based on the type of headache or migraine that you have been diagnosed with.\nThere are a few things you can do to help if you frequently suffer from headaches or migraines. Even if you don’t, a few small adjustments may help to prevent you from suffering from them frequently in the future\nCover Up! If it is a cold and windy day (and if you live in Melbourne like me, that isn’t uncommon), then make sure to keep your neck and head covered. Cold causes the muscles to contract, causing muscle tension, but also obstructing the flow of Qi and blood to the head.\nKeep your feet warm – if your feet get wet or cold, that cold and damp can enter the meridians and cause headaches later.\nPeppermint tea – In Chinese Medicine, peppermint is herb used for treating Liver patterns. It is also great if you are feeling stressed or frustrated.\nRelax, take time for yourself – Emotional stressed can often trigger headache and migraines, and today’s lifestyles are fast-paced. We are often in ‘fight or flight’ mode, which doesn’t give our bodies time to heal. Set aside time for yourself every day, whether that is going for a walk, reading a book, listening to music, painting, anything that is for you. Stop and let your body’s nervous systems switch over to the ‘rest and digest’ parasympathetic nervous system.\nCaffeine – if you frequently have migraines and drink substantial amounts of coffee, try cutting back to 1-2 cups a day. For others, caffeine may be beneficial\nSteam baths are great for clearing congestion. Add some citrus peel, or lemon essential oil with some eucalyptus essential oil. They are also antiviral and antibacterial so great for those with sinusitis or with a head cold. If using essential oils, spend the money and get excellent quality oils. Make sure that they are an essential oil and not a fragrance – these don’t have the properties we need, even if they do smell nice\nPosture – if you sit at an office desk all day, get up and walk around at least every hour. Do stretches and exercise, such as the Brugger’s exercise, to stretch and relax the muscle. Try rotating your shoulders throughout the day. I often give my clients stretches to open their chest and neck muscles, which can become tight due to their ‘slumped’ posture. Also think about investing in a high-quality pillow. If your head and neck are not correctly supported, your neck may come out of its correct alignment. In this case, try seeing an osteopath to have your neck adjusted.\nDiet – For some a deficiency in magnesium, zinc, or vitamin E may be contributing to their headaches. Try adding unrefined vegetable, nut and seed oils to your diet, and eating more legumes, nuts, seeds, like cashews, almonds, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds to your diet. If using a supplement, ensure you get a superior quality to limit the amount of toxins and to ensure you are getting the most out of the supplement. For others, especially if you work in an environment where you are exposed to toxins (paint, metals, gases), a detox may be required.\nKeep a diary – if you do suffer from frequent migraines or headaches, try keeping a diary and note down foods, exercise, weather, emotional and physical stresses and for women also note your menstrual cycle. By keeping a diary it can help to find a pattern to see what may be triggering the headaches.\nNote: if you have a known allergy to any of the foods listed, do not consume them. If you have a known allergy to any of the essential oils listed, do not use. If you develop any side effects to the foods, supplements or essential oils, stop consumption/use immediately. If symptoms do not subside, seek out medical help.\nRegarding detoxes, it is best when attempting to detox to do so under the supervision of a trained professional.", "domain": "health"}

They are cozy and fit within every type of interior layout. Serving as the perfect relaxing corner after a long day at work, they are equipped with different features that make them more comforting.\nBelow are the top benefits of owning a recliner chair and why buying one is a worthwhile investment.\n- Helps to improve blood circulation\nWhen you spend a long time sitting or standing, blood tends to pool around the feet due to gravity and your body’s overall circulation is hampered. This can lead to blood clogging the veins and swelling of the feet. Recliners can be tilted and help to lift your feet. The seat is designed to evenly spread your weight, easing pain and pressure on your muscles. Relaxing on the recliner for half an hour every day can ease neck, joint, and leg pain. It is perfect for older people and for professionals who spend most of their time sitting in one place.\nEases pregnancy pain\nPregnant women experience pain in their lower back and abdomen during pregnancy. Reclining regularly on a recliner helps to rest the weight on the front while the lower back is relaxed.\nWomen that have trouble sitting comfortably with good posture during pregnancy typically get achy joints, swollen feet, and similar issues. A recliner provides perfect equilibrium helping them to rest the extra weight and relax.\nAllows maximum comfort\nInvesting in a recliner is a relaxation solution for all members of the family. The technology behind recliners allows for flexibility when it comes to positioning. You can tilt it or raise it to a height that is just right for you. Certain recliners come with a remote control and you can change its position even while you are sitting on it. This allows for maximum comfort to the user.\nRelaxing on a recliner every day works is a great stress-buster. Spend your free time reading a book or watching TV while sitting in your recliner. For the best results, however, close your eyes and simply relax while you are resting on it.\nThere are different types of recliner designs and styles with multiple features which you can invest in. Relaxing on a recliner for half an hour every day can relieve stress and pain, saving a trip to the physiotherapist. There are different price ranges and a variety of materials to choose from, though leather is a popular and classic choice. It is durable and blends with every type of interior design.

Daily routines have been turned upside down and nobody can escape it. As of this writing, there have been more than 250,000 deaths in the US alone. It has been a national and worldwide nightmare in every regard. Even those who have not lost loved ones are under tremendous stress.\nAmerica had been enduring a stress plague for decades before the pandemic. Stress was already a comorbidity factor for the six most frequent causes of death.¹ Now those factors make all Americans more vulnerable to COVID-19 as the third wave crosses the country. People everywhere need a way to cope with the newest challenge ahead for the winter of 2020.\nFortunately, there is a medically proven method (see footnotes) that successfully relieves stress without the use of prescription drugs. It’s freely available to everyone right now. The effects of the treatment are long lasting, and there are no negative side effects. The miracle method is called gratitude.\nTwo human energy domains can break the stress cycle: the heart and brain domains. When the energy of those two domains are joined together in sincere gratitude practice, science has proven it effective to eliminate stress for months at a time.\nSkeptics will of course scoff at the idea above. That’s what skeptics do, but science is not on their side. If they choose to be among the millions of Americans who spend $190 billion annually2 for doctor visits that are largely ineffective, so be it.\nIt is obligatory to warn skeptics about drug prescriptions for stress relief such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). That class of pharmaceutical comes with multiple side effects and may alter the brain’s natural ability to form neural networks. Memory loss and sexual dysfunction are also widely reported after long-term use.\nBy comparison with SSRIs, both religious practitioners and scientific experts endorse gratitude practice as effective and entirely safe. Moreover, the brain is apparently wired to extend gratitude practice by drawing a practitioner’s attention to similar objects of appreciation.\nIt’s our choice to either surrender to the myth of a flawed brain or to cure it with our own power.\nHow Gratitude Increases Brain Coherence\nGratitude releases the pleasure chemicals serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain. Those compounds relax the sympathetic nervous system and stimulate a palpable sense of well-being within minutes.3\nGratitude is an elevated state of mind serving to reboot thought processes and the nervous system. It’s like a clean slate to reevaluate and focus on the asset side of life’s account ledger.\nA short list of other benefits of gratitude from studies published by Positive Psychology include:4\n- Increases happiness and positive mood\n- Reduces anxiety and depression\n- Regulates stress\n- Better physical health\n- Better sleep\n- Less fatigue\n- Greater resiliency\nOnce attentional priorities are shifted, our brains help us find more reasons to be grateful. The cingulate gyrus is hardwired to do so.5 Participants in gratitude studies maintained improved function and moods for months after the conclusion of investigations.6\nA real-world example of the above is the purchase of a new car. A person’s attention to their new car is noted by the cingulate gyrus, and the proud new car owner suddenly spots many cars just like it on the road. The cars were always there. It is our attention and frequent conversations about the car that signaled the cingulate gyrus to find more cars of the same type.\nIf you lose your keys frequently, it may be a good idea to keep a picture of them handy to shorten your next search. It really works.\nThe exercises below from Harvard University are designed to make gratitude practice a cultivated habit through practice:7\n- Thank You Notes — Sending gratitude notes to other people in your life is mutually rewarding. Don’t forget to send one to yourself on occasion.\n- Send Mental Gratitude — Focus on someone you appreciate and send gratitude mentally. Your brain and subconscious won’t know the difference, and quantum physics indicates the targeted person may get the message.\n- Gratitude Journal — Writing your affirmations and reasons for gratitude reinforce the practice and strengthen the brain’s neural connections via the tactile sense. It’s great habit where you can see your progress too.\n- Pray — Prayer has been proven effective in multiple studies to improve internal thought coherence.\n- Meditation — Supercharge your ability to focus on the present and remain mindful in all situations with meditation.\nIt takes 66 days on average to make a new behavior an automatic habit, but it can take as few as 18 or as many as 254 days.\nAny competent neurologist today will confirm the human capacity to rewire the brain. The term “neuroplasticity” was first coined in 1948, and by the 1970’s the brain was discovered to be a dynamic system capable of rewiring itself. By the early 2000’s neurosurgeons were able to grow functional neurons in the lab from stem cells.\nThere are currently no known limits to neuronal plasticity or neural growth. The phrase “changing my mind” is quite literal when ardently pursued over time. The medical evidence is overwhelming and not in dispute.\nAny healthy person can rewire their brain. Repetition and dedication are needed to affect long-term change, but the payoffs are enormous and continual. Every new habit is a modification of the brain.\nEinstein said, “We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them.” The release of pleasure hormones and subsequent relaxation of the nervous system provides the opportunity to transcend the stressed mindset entirely. That transcendence is a window of opportunity to break the stress cycle and to solve any problem.\nWhen the final history of 2020 is written, it will undoubtedly include a death rate far higher than that directly attributed to the pandemic. Americans are most vulnerable because our stress levels were already off the charts compared to nations worldwide. We had the highest percentage of comorbidities as a result. History will note how many additional deaths were caused by those comorbidities alone. It’s time to deal with our stress head on. It’s free, easy and healthy.\nThis video with gratitude affirmations will help readers get started with well-constructed statements. It also shows how some of the least noticed aspects of nature work together to create the stage upon which our lives are free to unfold according to our desires. We all have much to live for.\n- Deborah S.

Medicaid is a need-based program administered by the Department of Public Welfare of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, using funding from the federal government and Pennsylvania. Medicaid is subject to changes in the law by Congress -- such a change was recently enacted with the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005.\nAre you under the impression that you will need to spend down all of your assets in order to become eligible for Medicaid? Did you know it is possible to prepare a specific plan that suits you and your family members -- a plan that allows you to maintain financial well-being and still become eligible for Medicaid? If you are interested in learning more about Medicaid planning and eligibility, consider a lawyer from Sikov and Love, P.A.

Please contact our firm to learn more about Medicaid planning.\nHow the Deficit Reduction Act Affects You\nPresident Bush signed the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 in an effort \"to slow the pace of spending growth in both Medicare and Medicaid.\" The signing of the Act has resulted in complications to obtaining Medicaid and Medicare coverage. Among these changes are new restrictions on transferring assets to qualify for Medicaid long term care and nursing home care. In March of 2006, attorney Carol Sikov Gross was one of the first attorneys to recognize the consequences of these new laws. In addition to helping clients understand these consequences, she has lectured to many groups and has taught at seminars teaching her fellow attorneys about these new laws.\nWould you like to speak with a lawyer about Medicaid planning to obtain Medicaid eligibility?

Whether it’s public speaking anxiety, stuttering, or difficulty articulating thoughts, overcoming speaking problems requires a combination of self-awareness, targeted strategies, and persistent effort. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore various speaking challenges and provide practical tips and techniques to help individuals overcome these hurdles and find their authentic voice.\nSection 1: Identifying Common Speaking Challenges\n1.1 Public Speaking Anxiety: Fear of public speaking is one of the most prevalent challenges. It often manifests as nervousness, trembling, or a racing heart when faced with speaking in front of others.\n1.2 Stuttering: Stuttering involves disruptions in the normal flow of speech, characterized by repetitions, prolongations, or blocks in sounds, syllables, or words.\n1.3 Difficulty Articulating Thoughts: Some individuals struggle with verbalizing their thoughts clearly and coherently, finding it challenging to express themselves in a fluid manner.\n1.4 Social Anxiety: Social anxiety may hinder effective communication in various social situations, leading to self-consciousness, avoidance, or difficulty initiating and maintaining conversations.\nSection 2: Strategies for Overcoming Public Speaking Anxiety\n2.1 Practice Regularly: Repetition builds familiarity and confidence. Practice your speech or presentation multiple times before the actual event to reduce anxiety and improve fluency.\n2.2 Visualize Success: Use visualization techniques to picture yourself successfully delivering your speech. Imagine positive reactions from the audience to build confidence and alleviate anxiety.\n2.3 Deep Breathing Exercises: Practice deep breathing exercises to calm your nerves. Inhale slowly through your nose, hold the breath, and exhale through your mouth. Repeat this process to relax your body and mind.\n2.4 Focus on the Message, Not Perfection: Shift your focus from striving for perfection to delivering your message authentically. Recognize that minor imperfections are natural and often go unnoticed by the audience.\nSection 3: Techniques for Managing Stuttering\n3.1 Speech Therapy: Seek professional help from speech therapists who specialize in stuttering. Speech therapy can provide personalized strategies to enhance fluency and reduce stuttering.\n3.2 Slow and Paced Speech: Practice speaking slowly and deliberately. Slowing down can reduce the frequency and severity of stuttering incidents.\n3.3 Pause and Breathe: Incorporate intentional pauses into your speech. Pausing gives you time to breathe, gather your thoughts, and can be an effective tool for managing stuttering.\n3.4 Desensitization Techniques: Gradual exposure to challenging speaking situations can desensitize individuals to anxiety triggers. Gradually increase the complexity of speaking tasks to build confidence over time.\nSection 4: Enhancing Articulation and Clarity\n4.1 Tongue Twisters: Regularly practice tongue twisters to improve articulation and clarity. These exercises target specific speech muscles and enhance their coordination.\n4.2 Vocal Warm-Ups: Engage in vocal warm-up exercises to prepare your vocal cords and improve overall voice quality. Humming, sirens, and lip trills are effective warm-up techniques.\n4.3 Record and Evaluate: Record yourself speaking and evaluate the recordings to identify areas for improvement. Pay attention to pronunciation, pacing, and overall clarity.\n4.4 Enunciation Exercises: Consciously work on enunciating each word clearly. Focus on the precision of your speech by emphasizing consonants and vowels.\nSection 5: Overcoming Social Anxiety in Communication\n5.1 Positive Self-Talk: Challenge negative thoughts and replace them with positive affirmations. Remind yourself of your strengths and capabilities in social situations.\n5.2 Gradual Exposure: Gradually expose yourself to social situations that trigger anxiety. Start with small interactions and progressively increase the complexity of social encounters.\n5.3 Active Listening: Focus on active listening during conversations. By redirecting your attention to the speaker, you shift the focus away from your own anxiety, creating a more positive and engaging interaction.\n5.4 Join Supportive Groups: Participate in groups or activities where you feel supported and accepted. Building connections in a safe and encouraging environment can help alleviate social anxiety.\nSection 6: Building Confidence in Communication\n6.1 Positive Visualization: Visualize successful communication scenarios. Picture yourself confidently expressing ideas and engaging in meaningful conversations to reinforce positive associations with speaking.\n6.2 Join Public Speaking Groups: Joining public speaking groups, such as Toastmasters, provides a supportive and constructive environment to practice speaking, receive feedback, and build confidence.\n6.3 Set Realistic Goals: Establish achievable speaking goals to track your progress. Celebrate small victories along the way, reinforcing your growing confidence in communication.\n6.4 Seek Professional Guidance: Consider seeking guidance from communication coaches or therapists who specialize in speech and language. Professional support can offer personalized strategies and tools to overcome specific challenges.\nOvercoming speaking challenges is a transformative journey that requires patience, self-compassion, and consistent effort. By identifying the specific hurdles you face, implementing targeted strategies, and gradually pushing your comfort zone, you can build confidence and find your authentic voice. Remember that effective communication is a skill that can be developed and refined over time. Whether you’re addressing public speaking anxiety, stuttering, articulation issues, or social anxiety, the key lies in persistence, self-reflection, and a commitment to growth. Embrace the journey, celebrate your progress, and witness the empowerment that comes with overcoming speaking challenges to express yourself confidently and authentically.", "domain": "health"}

BPHC will administer the grant funds to providers located in the Boston Eligible Metropolitan Area (EMA) to improve health outcomes and reduce HIV transmission among hard-to-reach populations and those that are under or uninsured. The grant comes from HRSA’s Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, a part of the United States Department of Health & Human Services.\n“Everyone that is diagnosed with HIV/AIDS deserves the chance to access treatment”, said Chief of Health and Human Services, Marty Martinez. “The Ryan White Program and others supported by the city are intentional in distributing funds for services offered in a variety of settings, including AIDS service organizations, community health centers, substance use treatment agencies, and minority-based agencies. This model is one that works. These new funds will enable us to do even more now as part of a nationwide effort to end HIV/AIDS.”\nThe Boston EMA is comprised of 308 cities and towns within 10 counties including seven counties in Massachusetts and three counties in New Hampshire. As of December 31, 2017, there were 18,149 people living with HIV/AIDS reported in the Boston EMA. However, in 2017, there were 227 people diagnosed with AIDS, a 27 percent decrease in AIDS diagnoses since 2013.\n“This funding demonstrates the commitment of the Mayor, the Boston Public Health Commission and the Boston Ryan White Planning Council to provide life supporting and lifesaving services and medications to our neighbors here in the greater Boston area and southern New Hampshire while we continue our work to stop new HIV infections,” said Stephen Corbett, Chair of the Boston EMA Planning Council.\nThis funding, together with funding from the City of Boston and other sources, plays a critical role in supporting patients in accessing care across the continuum of HIV prevention and care services. Comprehensive HIV care includes access to antiretroviral therapy, substance use treatment services, mental health treatment, and oral health care. This grant focuses on reducing health disparities and barriers to treatment as well, providing funding support regarding transportation, nutrition, and housing. Included the new grant is Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) funding that focuses on reducing racial and ethnic disparities throughout the HIV care continuum.\n“We are making a real difference in the lives of thousands of people living with HIV/AIDS through the Ryan White Program. The funding empowers patients to access medication and the services that are right for them in order to help them keep their viral load low, and in many cases, thanks to this program, at an undetectable level. The robust funding being provided now will allow us to provide even more of the important wrap-around services patients need,” said Jenifer Leaf Jaeger, MD, MPH, Director of the Infectious Disease Bureau at BPHC.\nIn January, the Boston Public Health Commission and The Massachusetts Department of Public Health reported an outbreak of new HIV cases in persons who inject drugs in Boston. A couple of months later, a similar outbreak was announced to be occurring in other parts of the state, including in Worcester. These follow the outbreak in Lowell and Lawrence in 2017. The increasing rates of HIV infections in vulnerable populations demonstrates the importance of funds for early detection, treatment and comprehensive prevention efforts targeting people who inject drugs.\nThe Ryan White Services Division at the Boston Public Health Commission serves as the grantee for the Ryan White Part A grant.

It is the perfect pre-styling product as it is great for detangling & moisturizing as it softens and smooths your hair while increasing shine and elasticity.\nNow we know what you're thinking, \"Plantain? Yes! For your hair? Uhm?\" Well Yes, naturalistas/os. There are uses for plantain other than consuming it. We're well aware of how great it tastes and its nutritious benefits for our body, so we decided to explore what it does for your hair. Plantain has a multitude of benefits that can help you to achieve your hair goals.\nHere are 4 benefits:\n1. Great source of Vitamin E - Plantains are rich in Vitamin E which is great for our scalp as it contains anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties that help to soothe scalp issues and promote blood circulation to the scalp. These issues include dandruff, an itchy scalp and/or flakey scalp.\n2. Moisturizes the Hair - Plantains contain a high level of natural emollients. These help to penetrate the hair shaft so that it can be absorbed. The emollients also provide your kinks, curls and/or coils with much-needed moisture so that they can thrive. This means that your hairstyles will last much longer as this helps with combatting frizz.\n3. Aids in Detangling - Once your curls have absorbed the minerals and vitamins from the plantain they tend to become soft and supple. This makes it far easier for you to remove any knots and tangles in your hair which usually prevent length retention. It saves you time and energy as detangling your hair can definitely be time consuming. Did we mention that you will have a knot-free wash and go or twist out? Hooray to that!\n4. Strengthens the hair - Plantains are also rich in Vitamin C which we know is great for the body in general. But for the hair? It encourages follicle cell repair thus keeping hair healthy. This promotes the growth of strong, nourished strands that will not break or tangle easily. It also provides extra protection during the manipulation of the hair via various means.\nWith all the benefits of plantains, plantain herb and other beneficial ingredients, we formulated our Sweet Plantain Leave-in Conditioner. No need to spend a vast amount of time on your kitchen/bathroom counter trying to figure out a DIY. This leave-in boasts vitamins and minerals your scalp and hair will be grateful for. It is also priced affordably so you don’t have to break the bank to show love to your curls and coils.\nHow to use:\nSection your hair into 4 or more sections and apply an ample amount to each section using the praying hands' method. Style as desired and voila!\nOne way to use our Sweet Plantain Leave-In Conditioner:\nAfter Wash Routine (LCO - low porosity hair) (LOC - high porosity hair):\nLiquid – The “L” in the LCO method represents liquid. When incorporating our Sweet Plantain Leave-In in this routine we suggest using water in a spray bottle for this step.\nCream – The “C” in the LCO method stands for cream. We recommend using our Sweet Plantain Leave-In conditioner as your \"cream\". In the LOC method, the cream comes last, but in the LCO method, it comes second.\nOil – The “O” in the LCO method stands for oil. For this step, apply a small amount of our Herbal Infused Hair Oil to your hair.", "domain": "health"}

We brought him home around 6pm tonight and thanks to some help from my son, Byron, and his friend, Zack, we got him in the house and safely situated on the reclining love seat.\nMore miracles here - he took the stress test today and passed with no problems. As a result, the cardiologist decided no stents were necessary! This meant no more invasion of the body, no more needles into arms that no longer had places to stick them without the aid of ultrasound to find the veins, and some peace in the comfort of his own home. The doctor said there was little to no damage to the heart, and the heart muscle appears to be very strong. According to the latest studies, stents do little to prevent future heart attacks, and the consensus was that medicine, coupled with weight loss, a healthy diet and proper, regular exercise, would do more, and be more safe, than any kind of surgery. After considering the possibilities, we opted to adopt this approach. He has had no chest pain since the initial heart attack and subsequent cardiac arrest, and should be able to resume a normal life in a reasonably short time. He will see his cardiologist in 3 weeks and will likely enter the cardiac rehab program at our local hospital.\nThanks to all for the kind wishes, prayers, and words of comfort over this past week.

These complex molecules are made up of long chains of amino acids, which are linked together by peptide bonds. The sequence of amino acids in a protein determines its unique 3-dimensional structure, which in turn determines its function. Proteins have many important roles in living organisms, including providing structural support, enzymatic catalysis, transport, immune defense, and hormonal signaling.\nOne of the key functions of proteins is to provide structural support. Many proteins, such as collagen, elastin, and keratin, provide support and shape to cells, tissues, and organs. For example, collagen is a major component of connective tissues like tendons and ligaments, while keratin is a key component of hair, nails, and the outer layer of skin. The unique structure of these proteins allows them to provide strength and flexibility to different parts of the body.\nProteins also act as catalysts for biochemical reactions in cells. Enzymes are specialized proteins that speed up chemical reactions and help to regulate metabolic processes. Without enzymes, many biochemical reactions would occur too slowly to sustain life. For example, the enzyme lactase helps to break down lactose in milk, allowing it to be digested by humans. Enzymes also play a critical role in the regulation of cellular processes, helping to control the rate and direction of biochemical reactions.\nTransport is another important function of proteins. Some proteins act as carriers, transporting molecules such as oxygen, nutrients, and waste products across cell membranes and throughout the body. Hemoglobin, for example, is a protein found in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues. Other proteins, like albumin, transport a wide range of molecules throughout the body, including hormones, drugs, and fatty acids.\nProteins are also critical for immune defense. Antibodies are proteins that recognize and neutralize foreign substances like viruses and bacteria. These proteins are produced by specialized cells in the immune system in response to an infection. Antibodies bind to specific foreign molecules, marking them for destruction by other cells in the immune system.\nFinally, proteins are involved in hormonal signaling. Hormones are proteins that act as messengers, transmitting signals between cells and regulating physiological processes like growth and development. For example, insulin is a hormone that helps to regulate blood sugar levels by signaling cells to absorb glucose from the blood. Other hormones, like growth hormone and thyroid hormone, regulate growth, metabolism, and other important physiological processes.\nIn conclusion, proteins are essential to the structure, function, and regulation of living organisms. The unique sequence of amino acids in a protein determines its structure and function, which can vary widely depending on the specific protein. Proteins play many important roles in the body, including providing structural support, catalyzing biochemical reactions, transporting molecules, defending against foreign substances, and transmitting signals between cells. Without proteins, life as we know it would not be possible.", "domain": "health"}

The SCKPA covers members from the area served by the Oxford Radcliffe Hospital N.H.S. trust and its successors (Oxon, Northants, Bucks, Berks and parts of Wilts and Glos)\nMost people with kidney disease have no symptoms because the body can tolerate even a large reduction in kidney function. In other words, we are born with a lot more kidney function than is necessary for survival. Kidney function is often sufficient if only one kidney is working.\nA change in kidney function is usually discovered through a routine blood or urine test. If you are diagnosed with kidney disease, your kidney function will be monitored with regular blood tests, and treatment aims to keep any symptoms to a minimum.\nIf the kidneys continue to lose function and there is progression towards kidney failure, this will usually be tracked by blood tests and monitoring.\nDialysis is a form of treatment that replicates many of the kidney’s functions. It is often used to treat advance chronic kidney disease, where the kidneys have lost most or all of their function. This is known as kidney failure or end stage renal disease. If your kidneys stop working properly, waste products build up and cause symptoms including:vomiting: itchy skin: fatigue: blood in the urine.\nWithout necessary treatment such as dialysis, kidney failure will eventually prove fatal.\nMany people will remain on dialysis on a long-term basis (possibly for the rest of their lives) but for a significant minority the goal will be a kidney transplant.\nHaemodialysis is the type of dialysis that most people are aware of. It involves inserting a needle, which is attached by a tube to a dialysis machine, into a blood vessel.\nBlood is transferred from your body into the machine, which filters out waste products and excess fluids. The filtered blood is then passed back into your body.\nMost people require three sessions a week, each lasting four hours.\nPeritoneal dialysis is a less well known type of dialysis, but it’s becoming more common. It involves using the peritoneum as a filter. To explain this John had brought along Mike Pitcher to show and explain how this works. The peritoneum is a thin membrane that lines the inside of the abdomen and surrounds and supports the abdominal organs, such as the stomach and liver. Like the kidneys, the peritoneum contains thousands of tiny blood vessels, making it useful as a filtering device.\nDuring peritoneal dialysis, a small flexible tube, known as a catheter, is attached to an incision in your abdomen. A special fluid called dialysis fluid is pumped into the space that surrounds your peritoneum (the peritoneal cavity).\nAs blood moves through the peritoneum, waste products and excess fluid are moved out of the blood and into the dialysis fluid. The dialysis fluid is then drained from the cavity.\nThe process of peritoneal dialysis lasts roughly 30 to 40 minutes and is repeated around four times a day. Alternatively, you can run it overnight.\nJohn explained that they needed to raise more funds for the future for new facilities such as a new renal ward but they put most of the focus on patient support. Many interesting questions were asked during the talk and we had an impromptu collection. Along with the donation from the group amounted to £85.50. A very interesting afternoon was had by all.\nHow does haemodialysis work?\nBlood taken from the body to be cleaned in a filter known as a dialyser (artificial kidney). A dialyser works on the principle of blood flowing along one side of a semi-permeable membrane made of cellulose or a similar product, with the dialysate flowing along the other side. The dialysate contains a regulated amount of minerals normally present in the blood, but in renal failure they are present in excess. The membrane has tiny holes of different sizes so that the excess fluid and substances in the blood pass through at different rates, small molecules quickly and larger ones more slowly, to be taken away in the dialysate until a correct balance in the blood is achieved.\nA kidney machine regulates blood flow, pressure and the rate of exchange.\nAs only a very small amount of blood is in the dialyser at any given time, blood needs to circulate from patient to dialyser to patient for about 4 hours. Treatment is usually 3 times per week. The time and strength of dialysis can be programmed for each patient.\nBlood is carried from the patient to the dialyser and returned through dialysis lines (plastic tubes) which are connected to the patient in one of two ways:\nThe joining of a vein and artery just under the skin, usually on the forearm makes the vein swell to allow needles to be inserted and removed after each treatment. Between treatments only a small scar and swelling are visible.", "domain": "health"}

This includes, but is not limited to, providing crisis helplines or centres, wellbeing and recovery services, physical health activities and advice for Carers. Over 396,000 people have been supported by local Minds across England and Wales this year alone.\nDue to the ever-increasing national media exposure on the topic of mental health, charities such as Mind are fast gaining traction. With this national interest and local service provision, people are starting to reach out more and more, taking advantage of the many free services that are available.\nImportantly, companies are increasingly recognising their duty to uphold and protect the welfare and wellbeing of their staff now more than ever. This can be seen with companies investing in workplace mental health strategies, with Mental Health First Aiders or Connect 5 champions to specifically recognise and deal with issues as they are known.\nHampshire FA’s partnership with Havant and East Hants Mind was recognised for that exact purpose. The county FA has reached out to form a partnership with the local Mind charity, providing extensive mental health and wellbeing support for all staff across each of the hub sites. The county FA already has trained in-house mental health first aiders but saw an opportunity to extend the work being done behind the scenes by collaborating with a known and respected charity provider. Additionally, the local Mind charity will be providing the county FA with a communications plan to implement along with supporting materials so that key messages around mental health are extensively promoted alongside football related news and activities across Hampshire FA’s social media and the website.\n“We recognise our duty far extends beyond the likes of the field and the clubhouse. Many people use sport as an outlet. We also understand that sport plays a crucial role in relieving stress and anxiety, that it increases health benefits, physically, socially and psychologically. Linking with Havant and East Hants Mind is part of our overall commitment to mental health, starting first with our staff and then cascading down benefits to our football community through the consistent promotion of key messages and joint-organisation activities”. Neil Cassar, CEO of Hampshire FA\n“We are thrilled at the partnership opportunity with Hampshire FA helping us to reach so many more sports clubs to raise awareness of mental health and available support, including our own services. In recent years we have expanded the range of services we offer and now provide support right across Hampshire in many areas. The partnership plus funding from Hampshire Council will help us raise skills amongst club communities so people feel more confident to talk about their own concerns and learn proactive steps we can all take to stay well or support others. We will also run campaigns to combat the stigma that still exists surrounding mental ill health. We have developed an excellent programme of Mental Health Ambassadors in sport launched in 2020 and currently work with Havant FC Walking Football Club and within rugby and cricket clubs.\nWe hope to expand this to hundreds of football clubs over time. Havant and East Hants Mind is also linked to national initiatives- working as charity partner at Portsmouth FC and national Mind over several seasons, as part of the well-publicised EFL On Your Side project.” Ross Borman, Business Development Manager of Havant and East Hants Mind", "domain": "health"}

Stumbling downstairs to get kids ready for school: my older one is also getting ready for a “Rudolph’s Nose” competition; my middle one is barking; only my dear little Big Button, my youngest one is beaming from ear to ear with one of his special adorable smiles – all super sweet, mischievous, equally irresistible. That softens all our gloomy gazes, but we still need something to feel better: quick, efficient, and simple. And since I am tired of reading everyday reports how the solutions offered at the local pharmacy now are considered close to lethal, I’d rather offer my kids something homemade, made from the ingredients I both have in my pantry and I can pronounce.\nA word of caution: I strongly believe in moderation. Western medicine is what sustains our living; it has its time and place. High fever should not be cured with some alcohol rubbings, which only lead to dehydration; it requires a visit to the doctor. A bacterial infection such as strep or a persistent ear infection – needs antibiotics. Very miserable kid who has a hard time sleeping – needs some Tylenol, to get some badly needed rest and snoozy self-healing.\nAnd this recipe? I use it for colds and flu, for immune system boost, or in addition to common practices. This tea works for my family. Everybody’s immune system is different, so you’ll have to experiment to see what really works for you.\nCold & Flu Fighting Zesty Tea\n- 4 cups of water\n- 1 cinnamon stick\n- Pain reliever, antibacterial and anti-fungal remedy, stimulates circulation and its smell fools us to associate the tea with a warm bakery rather than a witchy apothecary.\n- 3 cloves of garlic\n- In a tea?! Yep. It’s a king of immune system remedies… and trust my overly sensitive palate – all other ingredients overpower its smell and taste by miles and miles. In the end, I can neither smell it nor taste it.\n- ¼ tsp cloves\n- Make it easier to cough and eliminate phlegm. Cloves add some antioxidants and help as a natural pain reliever.\n- ½ tbsp. turmeric\n- Antiviral, antiseptic, is one of the best to help prevent cold and flu. Does wonders for the immune system.\n- 1 inch of fresh ginger, peeled and cut into ¼ inch circles\n- Relieves sore throat, loosens up the congestion, calms upset stomach, and boasts some anti-inflammatory powers – sheer goodness. The cornerstone of success in this recipe.\n- Freshly squeezed juice of one lemon\n- Lemon is naturally antibacterial, has tons of vitamin C, helps to detoxify the liver. Most of that goodness gets destroyed by boiling, so I prefer to add lemon juice at the end when the tea has somewhat chilled a bit.\n- 1 ½ tbsp raw honey\n- Raw – is the key. Boiled honey loses all its magical powers, and even obtains some harmful ones (and that pretty bear jar with its easy-to-pour yummy goodness has been pasteurized out of all its helpful ingredients), so check your local farm, the healthy/organic section of your supermarket or just order online a real raw honey. It tastes great. It has antibacterial and antimicrobial effects. It offers tons of help to the immune system.\n- 1 pinch cayenne (start with this and add more to taste…the more you can handle the better)\n- Supposedly, it warms up the body, stimulates mucus release in your respiratory passages, increases circulation, numbs the pain. Personal experimentation: hasn’t taken place yet. Still gathering the courage. As I said, my really sensitive palate can tolerate all other ingredients, but cayenne seems too much for me. Let me know how it goes for you.\n- Boil the water.\n- Add ginger, garlic, cinnamon stick, cloves, turmeric. And cayenne, if you are brave enough.\n- Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.\n- Once it is ready, pour it into a cup; if it is too strong for you – dilute it with more warm water. Once it has “drinkable temperature (whatever it means for you), add lemon juice. It really helps to tame the strong flavors; I was amazed how much it helped.\n- Get a spoon of honey on the side (again, I avoid adding the honey to the tea to keep all its healing abilities)… and enjoy!\nHow does it taste? If I say that it is a godsend – I’d be lying. Nevertheless, it really is a godsend for your health, and a “spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down! Substitute a spoonful of sugar for some honey and things get really good. Freshly squeezed lemon helps A LOT. Honey – even more so. It tastes like a fine but strong exotic tea.\nAs for kids? Again, if I claim they are begging for more, you’d laugh me in the face. Yet, I am persistent: I dilute it, offer that magic spoonful of honey, and let them dip a regular chamomile or berry tea packet in it. Read an interesting story, while they are drinking it.\nThey love the dipping. They love the honey. They love-love-love listening to stories (and it gives me a chance to pause for them to take a sip). So the tea happily goes down with it.\nNext time: our favorite natural homemade coughing reliefs.\nMeanwhile, let us know how it works for you!", "domain": "health"}

But it is nowhere near as hard as being the one with BPD. My girlfriend is not a burden, her BPD is. For most, it may hold little that feels inspirational.\n10 Tips for Dating Someone With Borderline Personality Disorder | LoveToKnow\nHearing someone else share your struggles and negotiate the realities of the illness can be both comforting and illuminating. Borderline Personality Disorder is a chronic and complex mental health disorder marked by instability, and interpersonal relationships are often the stage on which this instability plays out. Barbara Greenberg , a clinical psychologist who treats patients with BPD, explains:. Often, this emptiness and intense fear of abandonment are the result of early childhood trauma and the absence of secure, healthy attachments in the vital formative years.\nParadoxically, the overwhelming fear manifests in behaviors that deeply disrupt the relationship and pushes partners away rather than pulls them closer, resulting in a stormy and tumultuous dynamic that typically emerges in the early days of dating. When they are in relationships they get very intensely involved way too quickly. But then what comes along with it, a couple of weeks later, is: Everything is done with passion, but it goes from being very happy and passionate to very disappointed and rageful.\nThey may use alcohol, food, or drugs or other addiction to try to self-medicate their pain, but it only exacerbates it. Like all personality disorders, BPD exists on a continuum, from mild to severe.\nPassion and Fear in BPD Relationships\nTo diagnose BPD, at least five of the following symptoms must be enduring and present in a variety of areas:. The cause of BPD is not clearly known, but often there has been neglect, abandonment, or abuse in childhood and possibly genetic factors. Research has shown brain changes in the ability to regulate emotions. For more, read here and here. Unlike narcissists, who often avoid therapy , borderlines usually welcome it; however, before recent treatment innovations, its effectiveness had been questioned.\nToday, BPD is no longer a life sentence. Studies have shown that some people recover on their own, some improve with weekly therapy, and some require hospitalization. Long-term treatment is required for maximum results, with symptom relief increasingly improving. A year study showed substantial remission after 10 years. Most individuals with BPD have another co-occurring diagnosis, such as addiction or depression. Acute symptoms diminish more readily than temperamental ones, such as anger, loneliness, and emptiness and abandonment or dependency issues.\nDarlene Lancer is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and expert on relationships and codependency. Lancer has counseled individuals and couples for 28 years and coaches internationally.\nLoving Someone with Borderline Personality Disorder.

To diagnose BPD, at least five of the following symptoms must be enduring and present in a variety of areas: Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment.

One of our favorite things to hear is when a parent tells us how excited their child was to come to the office. Part of making your child feel comfortable is alleviating any anxiety that they might feel about dental treatment. Our office provides a number of different treatment methods to best meet the needs of your child.\nNitrous Oxide (laughing gas) can help alleviate mild dental anxiety\nSome children have mild anxiety when they hear that they will be receiving dental treatment. We use child-friendly language and visual demonstrations of procedures to help the child feel like they are in control and to help avoid any fear of the unknown. Additionally, all of our operatories are equipped with flat screen televisions and movies to help the child feel at ease. Even with these measures some children will still feel some mild anxiety. It is in these cases where nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, can help make the appointments more pleasant. Nitrous oxide is an odorless gas that is breathed through the nose during dental treatment. While breathing nitrous oxide the patient is still fully conscious but may feel a deeper sense of calm and relaxation. Nitrous oxide can also help in patients with severe gag reflexes and the gas itself has mild anti pain properties. After the treatment is completed the patient breathes 100% oxygen, which allows them to feel back to normal. Since the effects of nitrous oxide are very short, children can even return to school after their dental treatment.\nOral Conscious Sedation can be utilized for children with moderate dental anxiety\nFor some patients who are very young, have moderate anxiety, or have had a history of difficult treatment appointments in the past, nitrous oxide alone may not be enough to alleviate their dental anxiety. These patients may benefit from oral conscious sedation. These patients come to their treatment appointments a little early and are given a small dose of anti anxiety medication. When the anti anxiety medication takes affect the patient is still conscious but may feel sleepy. The majority of the effect of the medication is over after an hour, but patients may feel tired throughout the day. Because of this, these patients should not return to school after treatment, but should return home until the medication has been fully metabolized by the body.", "domain": "health"}

When I walked in to my 1st visit, Lacey at the front desk made me feel right at home. Then Hillary, from my previous dentist office, was there smiling her beautiful smile 😁 also making me comfortable. Next, I met Dr Watson’s assistants, Heather and Savannah, just exceptional ladies all around. Then Dr Terry Watson came in and was just so upbeat, friendly and very funny and I knew that I had found my new dentist! 🥰 I was actually in need of some serious work with my front teeth 🦷 and was super nervous 😬 about the price $$$ and the actual dental work, but was quickly put at ease by Carmen, in billing. She explained everything in great detail and made me feel comfortable with the plan, she even spoke to my mother, in order to help me out. I tried to not make this all fluffy and stuff, but I'm truly sincere in my words, if you have a need for a dentist, please call Midtown Smiles 😁 Wishing I could attach a picture of my end result, I m also in love with my smile again! Thanks guys!\nJune 5, 2019\nGot in pretty quickly, mostly everyone seemed to be super nice. Only time i think I encountered someone slightly rude was once on the phone but I hope it was just a one time thing. I think they were aggravated because I had a question and maybe they just didn’t have time to answer it but maybe they were just having a bad day. Who knows. Besides that, everything else seemed to be pretty good! Honestly, what really and honestly stood out to me was a lovely individual named Brittany. I hadn’t met her before but she came in the room to administer another injection and she was just beyond pleasant. She honestly was the person I needed at that moment she entered the room. I was nervous and others seemed to not be as sympathetic or didn’t fully understand that I just needed someone to explain the process, answer a few concerns/questions and literally just spend a few minutes of their time. I honestly can’t commend Brittany enough for immediately understanding exactly what I needed. She went above and beyond to make sure I was fully informed, prepared, concerns addressed, etc. She was so sweet to offer to stay in the room with me (and I wish she did) but I told her I knew she probably had other people to assist with. Today I returned to pick up my replacement retainers and she greeted me with a huge smile. She asked me how I was doing and gave me a huge hug. Thank you for treating me so kindly and as if you’ve known me for years. I appreciate your awareness of individual’s needs and treating me as if I was family. You made my day today and definitely made my last visit so much more pleasant after feeling slightly like I was a burden/inconvenience to others even though they stated that I wasn’t. Despite a few very minute (minuet) unpleasant situations..my overall experience has been very positive! Thanks, Midtown Smiles, for the great experience!\nSeptember 11, 2019\nTop Reasons to Get an Implant\nDental implants are the ideal option to replace missing teeth.

The story was about a now 13-year-old boy who was rescued from the civil war in Sierra Leone in West Africa by another American surgeon and brought back to the United States for the medical treatment he needed to save his leg from osteomyelitis caused by infection from a snake bit that was never properly treated.\nThe boy, named Lansana, was bitten by a snake while chasing a soccer ball into the bush. With his mother dead and his father missing, an uncle abandoned Lansana at a hospital in Bo, a city in the south central portion of the country. There he stayed for nearly two years until Dr. Ian Zlotolow, an oral surgeon at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, visited the hospital as a medical volunteer. By this time, infection had set into his tibia resulting in massive bone loss of not only his tibia but also his entire ankle joint. Doctors in his native country recommended amputation, but Dr. Zlotolow thought a specialist like Dr. Rozbruch might be able to reconstruct the leg so he attempted to bring the boy back with him to the U.S.\nAfter Lansana was granted a visa and allowed to return home with Dr. Zlotolow, he began to seek treatment for the boy’s leg and was referred to Dr. Rozbruch. With his right leg approximately six inches shorter than his left with a 45 degree internal rotation, Rozbruch used the Ilizarov device to gradually correct the deformity and lengthen the bone.\n“We gradually pulled that piece of bone downward, towards the ankle, to fill in the defect,” Dr. Rozbruch said. “And, in that way, we were able to use the Ilizarov method to grow him new bone and essentially reconstruct his ankle and attach what was left of his leg to his foot.”\nDr. Rozbruch also performed a bone transport and ankle fusion to fill in the defect caused by the osteomyelitis. In all, Dr. Rozburch was able to lengthen the boy’s leg by 23cm through several stages of treatment. Lansana is doing well today with a stable ankle and the ability to run, play soccer and basketball. He has also been adopted by Dr. Zlotolow and Wendy Cohen.\nPerforming Closed Reduction in a Chronic Proximal Dislocation Following Total Hip Arthroplasty\nThe following case study conducted by R. Allen Butler, MD, Joseph R. Hsu, MD and Robert L. Barrack, MD, was published in the February 2006 issue of The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. To see the article in its entirety, please visit the following site: http://www.ejbjs.org/cgi/content/full/88/2/411\nOne of the major perioperative complications of total hip arthroplasty is dislocation. This complication was successfully treated in one patient with gradual closed reduction using the ILIZAROV distraction technique.\nThe patient, a 46-year-old male, underwent right total hip arthroplasty with multiple dislocations postoperatively. Six years later, radiographic evaluation revealed that the total hip replacement was dislocated posteriorly, causing 10cm of shortening. The patient complained of chronic pain in the buttock and a severe Trendelenburg gait. He walked with the use of a crutch and a 7.5cm shoe lift. Treatment options discussed included resection arthroplasty, revision surgery with residual limb-length discrepancy and soft-tissue lengthening with use of an external fixator. The patient opted for the lengthening procedure.\nA spanning ILIZAROV device was placed over the right hip, and the patient was placed in the lateral decubitus position with transosseous wires proximally and half-pins distally. The patient was started on a lengthening regimen at a rapid rate of 4mm per day on the first postoperative day. The surgeons chose this rate because they were attempting to return the patient's neurovascular structures to their normal anatomic length.\nAfter the ILIZAROV was removed, the patient was put in an abduction brace for three days followed by a hip pantaloon spica cast for eight weeks. He was then allowed to bear weight as tolerated and began physical therapy. During follow-up two years later, he was able to walk without assistive devices and had only a mild limp due to residual peroneal nerve palsy from his initial injury. Radiographs made at that time showed that the total hip replacement had remained reduced and his limbs were of equal length.\nAlthough such procedures may have complications such as pulmonary embolism and pin-tract infections, this case was treated successfully using a rapid rate of distraction. The authors suggest educating the patient on the signs of neural irritation, as neurologic compromise can occur especially towards the end of the lengthening period. If any signs of neural irritation are noted, the distraction should be slowed or temporarily halted. The authors believe that gradual distraction with an external fixator is a viable option for the treatment of chronic dislocation following total hip arthroplasty. In this case, the treatment gave the patient a much higher level of function and equal limb lengths while avoiding an open procedure.", "domain": "health"}

Your doctor recommends osteotomy to correct distal radius malunion when non-surgical options such as splinting or physical therapy are unsuccessful.\nTrapeziectomy is a surgical procedure to treat a medical condition called “thumb base arthritis”. The procedure involves removal of a small, cube-shaped bone known as the “trapezium” at the base of the thumb joint which joins your thumb to your wrist.\nThe hand is one of the most flexible and useful parts of our body. Because of overuse in various activities, the hands are more prone to injuries, such as sprains and strains, fractures and dislocations, lacerations and amputations while operating machinery, bracing against a fall and sports-related injuries.\nTotal wrist arthrodesis, also known as wrist fusion, is a surgical procedure in which the wrist joint is stabilized or immobilized by fusing the forearm bone (radius) with the small bones of the wrist.\nWhen you suffer an injury during sports events, never try to continue the activity in pain because it may cause further harm. Some injuries may require prompt attention by a doctor, while others can be treated at home.\nFinger joint fusion is performed under local or general anesthesia and usually takes about 2 hours to complete. A cut is made over the back of the finger joint and the soft tissues and nerves are carefully moved aside to expose the damaged joint.\nThe joint located at the base of the thumb is known as the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint. The thumb CMC joint is where the metacarpal bone of the thumb connects to the trapezium (carpal) bone of the wrist.\nThe forearm is made up of two bones, the radius and ulna. A break in both or either of the bones is known as forearm fracture. Forearm fractures can occur near the wrist, near the elbow, or in the middle of the forearm.\nThe forearm consists of two bones, the radius and ulna. The radius is the larger of the two forearm bones, and the region towards the wrist is called the distal end. A fracture or break in the distal end of the radius bone is known as a distal radius fracture.\nA finger joint implant is an artificial joint made of metal, plastic, or pyrocarbon components that are used to replace a severely arthritic or injured finger joint. Finger implant surgery is a motion-preserving alternative to finger joint fusion surgery.\nNerve decompression of the upper extremities, also called peripheral nerve decompression, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure employed to relieve pressure on an entrapped or pinched nerve (neuroma) for the treatment of conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome, the two most common nerve compression syndromes.", "domain": "health"}

If you’ve suffered injuries after being implanted with one of these devices, our attorneys would like to hear from you.\nPersons who suffer from neurological disorders often experience intense pain, and for a long time the only recourse was to provide medication to help a patient get through the day. St. Jude developed the IPG as a means to treat the pain a different way: the implant transmits an electrical pulse that triggers endorphins which reduce the pain.\nUnfortunately, the battery that was supposed to have a lengthy lifespan can develop internal cracks, a condition which can cause early failure or excessive heat at the implant site. At the time of a recall in May 2011, St. Jude attributed the cracking to moisture seeping inside the battery unit. In July of 2012, however, the company changed its tune, blaming the failure on a problem with third party tools used during the battery’s production.\nThe impact this has had on patients cannot be underestimated. When the recall was issued, 214 of the 34,617 people who had been implanted with the Eon or Eon Mini had filed a complaint with the device, and that number has risen even higher in the time since.\nPersons implanted with this defective device can experience a buildup of heat. When failure occurs, it’s likely that a surgery will be required to remove the implant. But this also poses complications. The following is a list of some of the side effects of an Eon IPG failure and subsequent explant procedure:\nIf you were the recipient of an Eon device, it’s important that you understand the situation and know the steps to take should you ever experience the side effects described above. Our medical malpractice lawyers are willing to offer a free consultation to persons adversely affected by these devices, and if you fit that bill, give us a call. The Nagelberg Bernard Law Group Law Group is currently determining the legal remedies available for such parties. It’s possible that you could be entitled to reimbursement of medical expenses and the pain and suffering you’ve endured.\nFree Consultations: 1-800-250-7960", "domain": "health"}

When this extract is injected into the problem area it breaks apart the fat molecule dissolving it into a liquid that is naturally eliminated from the body. The soybean extract has the same molecular structure as the phosphatidylcholine found in the human body, and its main function is to break down fat and cholesterol.\nLipoDissolve is often used for bodysculpting as an alternative to liposuction.\nLipoDissolve can shrink:\n- belly fat\n- double chins\n- bra bulge\nAs a cellulite treatment LipoDissolve has no rivals. Cottage cheese and dimpling fade away. Many believe LipoDissolve to be far, far superior to any laser treatment.\nLipoDissolve and Mesotherapy are not new procedures. Mesotherapy has actually been performed in Europe for over 50 years. It was developed by the French physician Michel Pistor, M.D. to treat a variety of health issues. Over the course of time, his colleagues in both Europe and South America discovered that mesotherapy was amazingly effective in handling cosmetic problems formally confined to the field of plastic and cosmetic surgery.\nUnlike liposuction, only the fat (not the fat cell) is removed. Some patients can lose two to six inches in their saddle bags, hips, thighs, waist, love handles, back fat and chin when medications are placed in those areas.\nPrior to a LipoDissolve session, the area to be treated will be mapped. Once the area is mapped, the site is cleansed. During the procedure a medical professional uses a very short and thin needle to make multiple injections into the targeted area.\nUnlike surgery, LipoDissolve is practically painless. Patients have typically responded that the treatments cause less pain than a momentary, light pinch. There are no heavy bandages or girdles that need to be worn and one can resume work with relatively no downtime.\nAdults in good health between the ages of 18 - 75 are excellent LipoDissolve candidates for targeted weight reduction and cellulite elimination.\nSince the medications used in LipoDissolve are naturally occurring in the body, there is little concern about absorption of the medications into the body and there have been no reports of serious side effects from LipoDissolve, when administered properly, despite its widespread use. Swelling, redness and tenderness of the area injected are the only reported adverse effects and these vary according to the area injected.\nLipodissolve Houston Texas | Related Links", "domain": "health"}

Results confirm that participants who walked in a forest versus those who walked in an urban environment had a more activated parasympathetic nervous system, which allows the body to adapt and recover from stress. Participants also displayed a less activated sympathetic nervous system, the mechanism responsible for triggering the “fight or flight” stress response Field studies show that salivary cortisol concentration is significantly lower in those who participated in forest bathing when compared to those exposed to an urban environment. Several previous studies have demonstrated that lower levels of stress result in lower concentrations of cortisol.\nThere are several components of forest bathing that provide stimulation to the senses and contribute to stress reduction: the smells, sights, sounds, tastes and textures of the forest all promote healing in unique and seemingly subtle ways. Phytoncides, the essential oils trees emit to protect themselves from germs and insects, can be emitted from many types of plants, trees, and some fruits and vegetables, and can decrease cortisol, reduce anxiety, increase pain threshold, increase natural killer cells, lower blood pressure, and have antibacterial properties. Research demonstrates that nature sounds, such as birds chirping and running water, promote sympathetic nervous system recovery after a stressful incident more quickly than urban environment sounds. Electroencephalogram (EEG) data indicates that subjects who viewed nature \"had greater brain electrical activity in the alpha frequency range. High alpha amplitude is associated with lower level of physiological arousal as well as feeling of wakeful relaxation” (Berto, 2014, p.400). Psychologist, researcher and architect Roger Ulrich's infamous study on postoperative gallbladder surgery patients demonstrated that patients with a view of nature from their hospital window recovered quicker, were in less pain and were described by nurses’ as having better a attitude than patients who had a view of a brick wall (Ulrich, 1984).\nTsunetsugu et al. (2010) report on previous work, which shows how interior and wooden objects elicit favorable emotional responses compared to other natural or man-made materials. Mao et al. (2012b) also investigated the qualitative properties of wood experienced by participants and found positive reactions. Researchers, therefore, hypothesize that the touch and feel of wood within the forest environment is also likely to contribute to the overall impact of forest bathing.\nBy opening up all fives senses in nature, the physiological responses of the human body can promote recovery from stressful situations.\nStress regulation has a tremendous impact on an individual’s overall health and wellbeing. Our perception of stress, our mental state, our immunity, our happiness, and our resiliency are all chemically influenced by the nervous system and its response to the natural environment.The Therapeutic Effects of Forests study provided additional research that forest bathing can significantly lower levels of systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Further physiological benefits of spending time in nature include increased serotonin levels, decreased feelings of anger, a greater sense of joy and happiness, increased activity in parahippocampal gyrus region of brain, and improved quality of sleep. Research supports that time spent in nature can lower inflammatory markers, increase natural killer cells and anticancer proteins by up to 40%, that hospital patients with view of nature heal quicker than those with view of a brick wall, sunlight exposure increases white blood cell production, which boosts immune system and red blood cells, and can also increase one’s oxygen-carrying capacity.", "domain": "health"}

This type of pain generally comes on suddenly, for example, after trauma or surgery, and may be accompanied by anxiety or emotional distress. The cause of acute pain can usually be diagnosed and treated, and the pain is self-limiting, that is, it is confined to a given period of time and severity. In some rare instances, it can become chronic. (Source: National Institutes of Health)\nChronic pain is widely believed to represent disease itself. It can be made much worse by environmental and psychological factors. Chronic pain persists over a longer period of time than acute pain and is resistant to most medical treatments. It can—and often does—cause severe problems for patients. A person may have two or more co-existing chronic pain conditions. Such conditions can include chronic fatigue syndrome, endometriosis, musculoskeletal pain, fibromyalgia, inflammatory bowel disease, myofascial pain, interstitial cystitis, surgical pain, temporomandibular joint dysfunction, and vulvodynia. It is not known whether these disorders share a common cause.(Source: National Institutes of Health)\nAdditionally, research has shown that in some cases, opioid medications themselves can contribute to and worsen chronic pain. Journal of Opioid Management. 2008 May-Jun; 4(3):123-30.\nThe A to Z of Pain\nThe spectrum of pain is immense. There are the most benign, fleeting sensations of pain, such as a pin prick. There is the pain of childbirth, the pain of a heart attack, and the pain that sometimes follows amputation of a limb. There is also pain accompanying cancer and the pain that follows severe trauma, such as that associated with head and spinal cord injuries. Below is a sampling of common pain syndromes follows, listed alphabetically.\nA condition in which one of the three membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, called the arachnoid membrane, becomes inflamed. A number of causes, including infection or trauma, can result in inflammation of this membrane. Arachnoiditis can produce disabling, progressive, and even permanent pain.\nMillions of Americans suffer from arthritic conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and gout. These disorders are characterized by joint pain in the extremities. Many other inflammatory diseases affect the body’s soft tissues, including tendonitis and bursitis.\nHas become the high price paid by our modern lifestyle and is a startlingly common cause of disability for many Americans, including both active and inactive people. Back pain that spreads to the leg is called sciatica and is a very common condition (see below). Another common type of back pain is associated with the discs of the spine, the soft, spongy padding between the vertebrae (bones) that form the spine. Discs protect the spine by absorbing shock, but they tend to degenerate over time and may sometimes rupture. Spondylolisthesis is a back condition that occurs when one vertebra extends over another, causing pressure on nerves and therefore pain. Also, damage to nerve roots is a serious condition, called radiculopathy, that can be extremely painful. Read more – National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke – Back Pain Information Page\nCan be profound and poses an extreme challenge to the medical community. First-degree burns are the least severe; with third-degree burns, the skin is lost. Depending on the injury, pain accompanying burns can be excruciating, and even after the wound has healed patients may have chronic pain at the burn site.\nCan accompany the growth of a tumor, the treatment of cancer, or chronic problems related to cancer’s permanent effects on the body. Fortunately, most cancer pain can be treated to help minimize discomfort and stress to the patient.\nHeadaches affect millions of Americans. The three most common types of chronic headache are migraines, cluster headaches, and tension headaches. Each comes with its own telltale brand of pain. Migraines are characterized by throbbing pain and sometimes by other symptoms, such as nausea and visual disturbances. Migraines are more frequent in women than men. Stress can trigger a migraine headache, and migraines can also put the sufferer at risk for stroke. Cluster headaches are characterized by excruciating, piercing pain on one side of the head; they occur more frequently in men than women. Tension headaches are often described as a tight band around the head. Read more – Severe Headache and Migraine, Cervicogenic Migraines and Myofascial Trigger Points\nHead and facial pain\nCan be agonizing, whether it results from dental problems or from disorders such as cranial neuralgia, in which one of the nerves in the face, head, or neck is inflamed. Another condition, trigeminal neuralgia (also called tic douloureux), affects the largest of the cranial nerves and is characterized by a stabbing, shooting pain.\nCan range from an aching muscle, spasm, or strain, to the severe spasticity that accompanies paralysis. Another disabling syndrome is fibromyalgia, a disorder characterized by non-restorative sleep causing fatigue, stiffness, cognitive dysfunction, and widespread muscle pain. Polymyositis, dermatomyositis, and inclusion body myositis are painful disorders characterized by muscle inflammation. They may be caused by infection or autoimmune dysfunction and are sometimes associated with connective tissue disorders, such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.\nMyofascial pain syndrome\nA disabling condition characterized by knotted up pieces of muscle fiber called trigger points that radiate pain and other symptoms in a predictable pattern. Trigger points can be easily felt by the patient and examiner unless they are beneath bone or in deep muscles, in which case their location is identified by the pain referral pattern. It often coexists with fibromyalgia, making diagnosis more difficult. Myofascial pain syndrome is best treated with specific myofascial therapies, including myofascial trigger point therapy and trigger point injections.\nA type of pain that can result from injury to nerves, either in the peripheral or central nervous system. Neuropathic pain can occur in any part of the body and is frequently described as a hot, burning sensation, which can be devastating to the affected individual. It can result from diseases that affect nerves (such as diabetes) or from trauma, or, because chemotherapy drugs can affect nerves, it can be a consequence of cancer treatment. Among the many neuropathic pain conditions are diabetic neuropathy (which results from nerve damage secondary to vascular problems that occur with diabetes); reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome (see below), which can follow injury; phantom limb and post-amputation pain, which can result from the surgical removal of a limb; postherpetic neuralgia, which can occur after an outbreak of shingles; and central pain syndrome, which can result from trauma to the brain or spinal cord.\nReflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome (RSDS)\nRSDS is accompanied by burning pain and hypersensitivity to temperature. Often triggered by trauma or nerve damage, RSDS causes the skin of the affected area to become characteristically shiny. In recent years, RSDS has come to be called complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS); in the past it was often called causalgia.\nRepetitive stress injuries\nAre muscular conditions that result from repeated motions performed in the course of normal work or other daily activities. They include: * writer’s cramp, which affects musicians and writers and others, * compression or entrapment neuropathies, including carpal tunnel syndrome, caused by chronic overextension of the wrist and * tendonitis or tenosynovitis, affecting one or more tendons.\nA painful condition caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve, the main nerve that branches off the spinal cord and continues down into the thighs, legs, ankles, and feet. Sciatica is characterized by pain in the buttocks and can be caused by a number of factors. Exertion, obesity, and poor posture can all cause pressure on the sciatic nerve. One common cause of sciatica is a herniated disc.\nShingles and other painful disorders affect the skin. Pain is a common symptom of many skin disorders, even the most common rashes. One of the most vexing neurological disorders is shingles or herpes zoster, an infection that often causes agonizing pain resistant to treatment. Prompt treatment with antiviral agents is important to arrest the infection, which if prolonged can result in an associated condition known as postherpetic neuralgia. Other painful disorders affecting the skin include: * vasculitis, or inflammation of blood vessels; * other infections, including herpes simplex; * skin tumors and cysts, and * tumors associated with neurofibromatosis, a neurogenetic disorder.\nRefers to a narrowing of the canal surrounding the spinal cord. The condition occurs naturally with aging. Spinal stenosis causes weakness in the legs and leg pain usually felt while the person is standing up and often relieved by sitting down.\nSprains, strains, bruises, dislocations, and fractures are all well-known words in the language of sports. Pain is another. In extreme cases, sports injuries can take the form of costly and painful spinal cord and head injuries, which cause severe suffering and disability.\nAre conditions in which the temporomandibular joint (the jaw) is damaged and/or the muscles used for chewing and talking become stressed, causing pain. The condition may be the result of a number of factors, such as an injury to the jaw or joint misalignment, and may give rise to a variety of symptoms, most commonly pain in the jaw, face, and/or neck muscles. Physicians reach a diagnosis by listening to the patient’s description of the symptoms and by performing a simple examination of the facial muscles and the temporomandibular joint.\nTrauma can occur after injuries in the home, at the workplace, during sports activities, or on the road. Any of these injuries can result in severe disability and pain. Some patients who have had an injury to the spinal cord experience intense pain ranging from tingling to burning and, commonly, both. Such patients are sensitive to hot and cold temperatures and touch. For these individuals, a touch can be perceived as intense burning, indicating abnormal signals relayed to and from the brain. This condition is called central pain syndrome or, if the damage is in the thalamus (the brain’s center for processing bodily sensations), thalamic pain syndrome. It affects as many as 100,000 Americans with multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, amputated limbs, spinal cord injuries, and stroke. Their pain is severe and is extremely difficult to treat effectively.\nVascular disease or injury-such as vasculitis or inflammation of blood vessels, coronary artery disease, and circulatory problems-all have the potential to cause pain. Vascular pain affects millions of Americans and occurs when communication between blood vessels and nerves is interrupted. Ruptures, spasms, constriction, or obstruction of blood vessels, as well as a condition called ischemia in which blood supply to organs, tissues, or limbs is cut off, can also result in pain.\nPrimary Source: National Institutes of Health; Muscle and Myofascial pain definitions adapted from Integrative Therapies for Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and Myofascial Pain: The Mind-Body Connection\nPain that comes on quickly, can be severe, but lasts a relatively short time.\nA primary, chronic, neurobiologic disease whose development and manifestations are influenced by genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors. It is characterized by behavior that includes one or more of the following: impaired control over drug use, compulsive use, continued use despite harm, and craving.\nPain due to a stimulus that does not normally provoke pain.\nThe cumulative physiological cost to the body of chronic exposure to the stress response.\nAbsence of pain in response to a stimulus that would normally be painful.\nAssumptions about reality that shape the interpretation of events and, consequently, the appraisal of pain.\nA framework that accounts for the biological, psychological, and social dimensions of illness and disease. The biopsychosocial model provides a basis for the understanding and treatment of disease, taking into account the patient, his/her social context, and the impact of illness on that individual from a societal perspective. The model states that ill health and disease are the result of interaction among biological, psychological, and social factors.\nOngoing or recurrent pain lasting beyond the usual course of acute illness or injury or, generally, more than 3 to 6 months and adversely affecting the individual’s well-being. A simpler definition for chronic or persistent pain is pain that continues when it should not.\nAn empirically supported treatment focusing on patterns of thinking that are maladaptive and the beliefs that underlie such thinking. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is based on the idea that our thoughts, not external factors, such as people, situations, and events, cause our feelings and behavior.

It is very important for dancers to replace fluids lost by sweating in order to keep their bodies well hydrated. Even dehydration in its most mild form can negatively affect performance. Did you know that by the time you feel thirsty you are actually already dehydrated? Ideally, a dancer should drink before, during and after a ballroom dance or performance. But is water the best thing to drink? Sometimes your body may need more than water. Energy drinks are designed to replace key electrolytes throughout the body, but not all sports drinks are created equal. Make sure you are drinking the best type of drink for your needs.\nWhat Are Sports Drinks?\nSports drinks contain electrolytes and carbohydrates. They are beverages that help replace water, electrolytes, and energy after training or competing. Sports drinks help keep you hydrated and provide fuel for long or intense ballroom dance.\nThere are three major types of sports drinks:\n- Isotonic: contain similar concentrations of salt and sugar as in the human body\n- Hypertonic: contain a higher concentration of salt and sugar than the human body\n- Hypotonic: contain a lower concentration of salt and sugar than the human body\nSome studies have determined that sports drinks are unnecessary unless activity exceeds 60-90 minutes.\nElectrolytes and Sugar\nElectrolytes are important for the human body to function smoothly. Besides helping muscles and nerves to function correctly, they also help maintain the water balance inside of cells and keep the blood’s pH balanced. When a dancer sweats during a long, intense class, water and electrolytes are lost. If you are working hard in a dance classes for more than an hour, you might consider a drink to help replace electrolytes lost through heavy sweating. Gatorade and Powerade are two drinks to look for.\nIf you are having a hard time making it through an intense day of dance, you may need a bit of sugar to give you a boost. Many sports drinks claim to provide you with instant energy, due to the sugar contained in them. But be careful when you pick out a drink…your body doesn’t need more sugar than it can use. Look for a drink with no more than 14 grams of sugar per serving, because more than that amount can upset your stomach. Skip sugar-free drinks because those may contain added caffeine to replace the sugar. A good choice is coconut water or natural fruit juice diluted with water.\nWhat Should You Drink?\nThere really is no “best” beverage for all dancers to consume during the day. Since every dancer’s fluid needs are unique, how much fluid you need is specific to your own body. However, in order to prevent dehydration, the average person needs to consume about 2 liters or 8 glasses of fluid every day, preferably with at lest half of that amount being in the form of plain water. If you have a particularly long day of dancing, your body will require more.\nBut what is the best beverage for you to drink? Remember that sports drinks should only be consumed in order to replace electrolytes during or after long, intense workouts. Don’t make a sports drink your main drink of the day…make sure to stick a water bottle in your dance bag to sip on throughout the day. When you feel like you might need a quick boost, sip on a sports drink or diluted fruit juice. Keep in mind that sports drinks aren’t magical…sometimes simply staying hydrated is best accomplished with good, plain water.", "domain": "health"}

This is not true. Studies have compared the practice patterns of nurse practitioners with those of physicians and determined that nurse practitioners performed as well as physicians in all areas of primary care delivery and patient outcomes.\nThe Federal Trade Commission states that “a growing body of evidence suggests that APRNs (nurses with at least a master’s degree in nursing) can, based on their education and training, safely perform many of the same procedures and services provided by physicians.” I have personally observed that quality education and superior mentors produce excellent professionals in the field.\nBattistella anticipates an increase in opioid prescriptions if nurse practitioners and physician assistants gain independent full-practice authority. He forgets that all providers must follow prescription guidelines or risk both losing professional licensing status and facing criminal charges.\nHe urged lawmakers to “take a step back and consider the unintended consequences that these proposals would have on their constituents.” In response, I say, “I’ve got an APP for that.”\nUnfortunately, the current health care environment fails to recognize the value of advanced practice providers (APPs), and this results in underutilization. For our health care system to become not only efficient but also effective, it needs to be intellectually honest concerning the benefits that such providers offer.\nAmerican life has adapted to the changing health care environment and, were it not for the polarized fight over health care, the use of APPs would have kept pace as well. Throughout the national debate, two situations have remained constant: the shortage of primary care physicians and an underutilization of APPs.\nThe United States has nearly 250,000 licensed nurse practitioners and almost 125,000 licensed physician assistants. If properly utilized, the solution to the health care crisis already exists.\nThe challenge is for APPs to clarify the quality of the care and recognize the scope of the specialties within the profession, thus optimizing the value that an APP provides. By implementing reliable standard measurements, APPs can be a beneficial part of the solution.\nThe midterm elections made it clear that health care is a major concern. There is general agreement that a successful health care system must have universality, quality and affordability. Properly utilized, advanced practice providers can be the key to having all three. Allow APP programs to grow through clinical experience, mentorship and increased collaboration with physicians, as well as increased autonomy, and what will emerge will be step one in neutralizing the primary care physician shortage.", "domain": "health"}

I have the same daily challenges as you but with one difference. I struggle to have random conversations with people so avoid them, I can be socially awkward, I am withdrawn so I don’t join in on social occasions. All of this leads people to think that I am weird or rude. To me it is just another day in the life of a PTS sufferer.\n“Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental disorder that can develop after a person is exposed to a traumatic event, such as sexual assault, warfare, traffic collisions, or other threats on a person’s life.” Wikipedia\nI prefer to call it an injury than a disorder because I believe, and so does the clever people, that it all stems from nine years as a police officer in South Africa.\nOf my time served I spent about seven-an-a-half years in Durban Flying Squad, then one of the top uniformed units in the Durban area. I am not going to go into detail of the work but it is suffice to say that we worked hard to bring down crime and that meant criminals worked hard to remove us.\nIt was about two years ago when I started noticing a different pattern in my life. I was more irritable, struggled with excess weight and controlling my eating habits, I started having more nightmares and could be transported back to a scene in broad daylight whilst sitting in a meeting.\n“I started noticing a different pattern in my life. I was more irritable, struggled with weight and I started having nightmares. It was very real and troubling”\nIt was very real and troubling. At first I didn’t say anything because I felt that most of my friends would either not understand or would want me to tell them more about my life in uniform, something I try to avoid nowadays. This continued for about a year.\nI spoke to my wife as I thought she would understand. She was very supportive because she lived with me through the uniformed years and knew what I went through. We decided that I need to speak to someone, which was he next big step for me. I consulted my local GP who referred me to an NHS hospital for mental illness from an assessment.\nIn the mean time I started running for weight loss but quickly realised that the loss I was expecting wasn’t always there. What I did experience though is a type of happiness or euphoria after, and often during, a run.\nI started to do some research and read about exercise and endorphins and its positive influence on people with mental health problems. The psychologist that did my assessment also confirmed that exercise is a very good way for me to manage my symptoms.\n“Since my diagnosis in 2016 I have focused a lot more on using exercise to manage my symptoms. What I have achieved is a healthier life with no need for medication”\nSince my official diagnosis in mid 2016 I have focused a lot more on using exercise to manage my symptoms. I do a fair bit of running and cycling and try to make the odd visit to the gym with my son.\nI never shifted all the weight I wanted to get rid off but that is probably because eating is also still a coping mechanism for me and one that I try and deal with every day.\nWhat I have achieved though is a healthier life with no need for medication. Yes, sometimes depression and doubt take control and I have to fight hard within myself to get through those days but I know, if I can strap on a pair of training shoes and go for a run I will start to feel better.\nThis year (2017) I decided to do something to help a mental health charity and as a result entered into a number of events to help raise money. Support in Mind Scotland is my chosen charity because they are local and do a lot of good work not just for those with PTSD but for all classifications of mental illness.\nI still have three events left for the year. A cycle ride from Glasgow to Edinburgh, a half marathon and I will finish the year off with a 10k in Edinburgh.\n- Marius is fundraising for Support in Mind Scotland.

The better your mental and physical wellness, the higher your energy level, productivity and capacity to perform in whatever role you choose. Since this is so obvious to all of us, it is amazing how few people actively follow a healthy lifestyle.\nThere are a large number of factors causing health problems all around us — stress at work, demands at home, and pressure from your peers as well as advertisers constantly urging you to eat, drink and smoke something that is probably bad for you. On top of this, we are subjected to an increasing bombardment of “noise” and information overload from all types of media and other sources, including personal computers, e-mail, cellphones and a myriad of new handheld electronic devices.\nNews flash! You have to fight back and take active responsibility for your own mental and physical wellness. You must find the determination within yourself to make healthy habits an essential part of your daily and weekly routine. It is foolish to take a passive approach to maintaining your health and fitness.\nTo enjoy both mental and physical wellness, follow these recommendations:\n- Get into a regular regimen of some form of exercise a minimum of three to four times a week for the rest of your life. This can be bicycling, playing a sport, tai chi, going to a gym, hiking, walking, yoga, swimming, Pilates, whatever, but you just have to get off your butt and do it. Regular exercise not only keeps you physically fit and mentally alert, it is also a great stress-buster and helps you sleep better. It is not necessary or even desirable to become a fitness fanatic, just to experience the equivalent of the mental and physical whirlpool you get from engaging in some form of exercise on a regular basis.\n- Initiate the habit of setting aside a quiet period for yourself at a regular time once or twice a week for the purpose of doing some quiet thinking on your own. When you do so, turn off and unplug everything that can disrupt your peace of mind. Pick a place where you will not be bothered with any distractions. Calm yourself down and muse about what is really important in terms of what is happening in your life. Try to use this time quietly to get things into proper perspective and gain a better understanding of your true priorities. Think of this as a way of keeping your sanity while everyone around you is losing theirs.\n- Make having fun and laughter an integral part of almost everything you do. Use humor to relieve stress and tension. Avoid taking yourself and what you are doing too seriously. It is also essential that your friends and co-workers have a good sense of humor to help you keep things in perspective and see the funny side of life’s challenges.\n- Try to maintain a healthy posture whenever you are in a sitting position and not just when you are working at your desk. This can be done by rolling your shoulders back, elongating your spine, tilting the top of your pelvis forward and straightening your neck. Many back and neck pains are caused by failing to sit properly for long periods of time. (See the section on Posture in Chapter 1, Your Physical Presence, of the Citizen of the World Guide, Make the Right Impression.)\n- Recognize the serious harm you are doing to yourself when you engage in self-destructive behavior, including over-eating, drinking too much alcohol, and using drugs. When you treat your body badly, it ultimately will treat you badly. There are many forms of harmful addictions but in the end they all take over control of your life with disastrous consequences. The brief pleasure or “high” from such behavior is never worth the long-term pain you will inevitably experience yourself and inflict upon those around you.\n- Inform yourself about any negative health issues of consequence that you experience beyond just relying 100% on what your doctors say. Do an Internet search on the disease or injury to find other sources of information. See if the site www.PatientsLikeMe.com has any valuable information covering your ailment. If you start having adverse side effects from taking a prescribed medication, conduct an online search for the name of the drug and look for medical sites with patient forums on them to learn if others are having the same problem, indicating you should stop taking this medication.\n- Maintain your own separate medical records for your family and yourself. Include in that record the date and details of any operations, injuries, illnesses of consequence and tests performed. Also note any prescriptions taken, drug allergies and the various services received from doctors and other health-care providers. Do not rely on your doctor to keep proper records of these matters. Having such information available in an emergency may save your life.\nIn many respects, “you are what you eat”. The quality, variety and quantity of what you eat on a daily basis have a huge impact on your overall wellness, including your mental agility and energy level. Here are some easy steps to follow for a healthier lifestyle:\n- If you bring it home, you will likely eat it. Leave the unhealthy impulse items in the grocery store, especially those high in fat or sugar. Always shop with a list of things you need and stick to that list.\n- Eat a reasonable breakfast every day to give your body and mind the fuel they need to function well for the start of your day.\n- Have three meals at a regular time daily. The later you eat in the evening, the lighter the meal should be.\n- Consume a minimum of four full servings of fruit and vegetables each day, including salads. Have some fruit and vegetables with every meal. Most frozen fruit and vegetables are as good for you as fresh ones.\n- Ideally, include a source of lean protein with every meal. A deck-of-cards sized portion (e.g., 3 ounces), however, is usually sufficient for any serving of protein foods, maybe 1 1/2 for larger men.\n- Eat a variety of foods on a regular basis, including those served with herbs, spices, seeds, nuts, legumes, root vegetables, whole grains, tomatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach and kale.\n- Limit yourself to one caffeine drink a day and avoid drinking anything with caffeine in the late afternoon or evening.\nFor many reasons, it is also important to stay hydrated throughout the day. This requires you to drink a minimum of eight to ten glasses of water and other fluids daily apart from anything that is high in caffeine, sugar or alcohol. Carbonated drinks, coffee, beer, wine and any mixed liquor drinks do not count. Watch out for the calories, however, in any fruit and vegetable drinks.\nTo function effectively, your body needs to maintain proper fluid levels. Recent studies indicate that up to 85% of headaches are caused by dehydration. Proper hydration also can lower or even eliminate pain and cramping.\nChanging your eating habits is the only permanent solution for dealing with an overweight problem. Close to 100% of the people who lose weight through any kind of diet program or taking diet supplements invariably regain all of the weight back. To lose weight you have to eat less. It is that simple.\nTo gain an appreciation of the stress that being overweight places on your body, try carrying around a weight in your hand roughly equivalent to how much you are overweight. If you are ten or more pounds overweight, you will not last long doing so.\nHere are some of the most important steps to take to shed unwanted pounds and then to maintain your weight at a healthy level:\n- Spread out the amount of food you eat throughout the day by having three regular modest-sized meals and two healthy snacks in between them as opposed to starving yourself through part of the day and ending up overeating a large dinner as a result of being too hungry.\n- Reduce the size of the portions you serve and eat for each course, and never have seconds. Use smaller plates to serve your food and smaller glasses for everything you drink other than water. When you go to a restaurant, order an appetizer for your main dish. Skip eating bread with your meals and having any prepared desserts.\n- Eat slower by pausing after every one or two bites. The slower you eat, the more time your stomach has to register when it is actually full.\n- Restrict to a minimum the amount of fatty food and drinks you consume, such as French fries, other fried foods, potato chips, sugar-sweetened soft drinks, candies, prepared desserts and processed meats. When you get the urge to snack, have some fruit. You will be surprised at how much small changes in your eating habits will add up to big improvements in your weight over time.\nChange how you think about food if you have a weight problem. As the photographer Russ Fischella said, “Eat what your body needs, not what your mind wants.” If you are overweight, do something about it. Being in denial when you have a weight problem is definitely dangerous to your health and overall well-being.\nThe most common health complaint is probably, “I’m having difficulty sleeping and it’s badly affecting my … .” Everyone seems to know that getting a full night’s sleep on a regular basis is essential to maintaining one’s overall wellness, recharging one’s batteries, and performing well at whatever one does. Yet, for some mysterious reason people prefer to spend billions on sleeping pills (that rarely work that well) rather than adopt sensible sleep habits.\nThere is a big downside to failing to get an adequate amount of sleep on a regular basis. As journalist Jane E. Brody stated in a recent New York Times article, failing to do so at any time in one’s life from infancy to old age “can profoundly affect memory, learning, creativity, productivity and emotional stability, as well as your physical health” and cause harm to a number of bodily organs and systems, including “the heart, lungs and kidneys, metabolism, immune function and mental processes” (such as judgment and decision making).\nThe actual amount of sleep one needs varies depending on one’s health, age, daily physical pursuits and occupation. Most adults need a minimum of six to eight hours sleep nightly. Some people also benefit from having an afternoon nap. But for everyone, Arianna Huffington believes that “the way to a more productive, more inspired, more joyful life is getting enough sleep”.\nSleep researchers have discovered that each night we cycle in and out of various stages of light to deep sleep, each lasting about 90 minutes. Brody describes these stages as “REM, or rapid-eye-movement sleep (often called dream sleep), and three types of non-REM sleep: the light sleep of Stage 1, followed by the more relaxed sleep of Stage 2 and the most restorative deep sleep of Stage 3”. When you are in Stage 2 and 3 sleep, your mind is probably quietly sorting through and filing away all the information and thoughts you experienced in the waking hours of the prior day. This is also when your mind likely does its best cognitive work, hence the saying “sleep on it”.\nYes, high stress, negative relationships, being in debt, the demands of parenting, travel and illness can all impede one’s ability to sleep properly. But, there are many simple things you can do to improve your chances of having a good night’s sleep on a regular basis. Here are some recommendations for doing so:\n- Try to go to bed each night at approximately the same time. This will condition your body’s “clock” to expect to go to sleep at a regular time every evening. Similarly, try to get out of bed at about the same time every morning, regardless of how late you went to bed the night before.\n- Adopt a regular routine every night starting about one hour before going to bed that involves something of a relaxing nature such as light reading, calming music, a warm bath, meditation or writing a journal. Do anything at that time that helps your mind and body in effect decompress. Go into denial mode about anything that causes you to get upset or excessively worry during the day.\n- Avoid eating or drinking anything in large amounts two hours before going to bed. Your stomach and digestive system need time to settle down and you do not want to have to spend the night getting up to go to the bathroom.\n- Do not have any caffeine drinks from about 4:00 PM onward and, if you are a smoker (shame), avoid any nicotine at least one hour before going to bed. Caffeine and nicotine act as stimulants and work against you falling asleep.\n- Engage in exercise on a regular basis as that definitely contributes to sleeping properly. But, do not undertake any strenuous form of exercise two hours prior to going to bed.\n- Do not drink excessive amounts of alcohol unless you are prepared to have a restless, poor quality of sleep afterwards, waking up frequently.\n- Avoid doing anything in front of a bright screen, such as playing computer games, using a smartphone or watching television, for one hour prior to going to bed. Also, if you have to get out of bed during the night, try to avoid any bright lights.\n- When you actually do lie down to sleep, banish all emotionally charged, upsetting, negative thoughts from your mind. Try to concentrate your mind on something that gives you contentment and happiness. Avoid thinking about what you need to be doing in the next couple of days. If to-do tasks keep popping into your mind, keep a pad and pen beside your bed so you can quickly write them down and stop thinking about them.\n- Make your bedroom a sleep friendly environment – cool, dark, quiet with a comfortable mattress and pillow.\n- For many reasons, it’s best not to allow your pets to be in your bedroom.\n- Whenever you are having difficulty falling asleep, try your best to lie still and avoid tossing and turning. Even when you are not actually sleeping, your body and mind are getting a beneficial rest when you lie still and relax. Attempt to progressively relax your muscles, beginning with your toes and gradually moving up your body to your head.\n- When you travel across different time zones, upon embarking always immediately set your watch to the local time of your destination and, upon arrival, adjust your eating and sleeping times to the same as they would be locally. It is especially important to resist going to bed to sleep until you normally would at the local time.\nIf you find that the above steps do not improve your ability to enjoy a good night’s sleep on a regular basis, you probably need to consult your doctor to determine if you have some type of serious sleep disorder.\nYour objective should be to develop a set of healthy habits that you follow throughout your life. You simply cannot afford to take your mental and physical wellness for granted. You have to assume the responsibility for keeping yourself in good health. Now!", "domain": "health"}

E-cigs contain nicotine, propylene glycol along with other chemical compounds that provide them their distinctive flavor. They don’t contain tar like traditional cigarettes do and so are safer to use than the conventional kind. However, there are many of disadvantages that are associated with these products aswell. While they are much better than traditional cigarettes with regards to the taste and odor, there are a few dangers associated with their use that require to be considered.\nElement Vape One of the biggest concerns is the fact that e-cigs do not provide nicotine. Nicotine, a substance found in cigarettes, can actually be lethal when it’s ingested. Many people that are trying to quit smoking cigarettes will often switch over to using most of these vaporizing devices to greatly help them quit. The problem comes from the fact that it really is difficult to avoid smoking with e-cigs since the patch or nicotine gum typically has to be used for at least 30 mins before it really is effective.\nMost of the ingredients found in traditional cigarettes can also be within these vaporizing devices. For example, nicotine is present in the form of toxins and tar which have been found in cigarette smoke. They have also been found in other smoke producing substances such as for example paint and flooring paints. Being that they are inhaled, you will find a possibility that you might become dependent on them and experience withdrawal symptoms when you try to stop using them. This is one of the primary risks associated with tapering.\nAnother danger associated with vaporizing is that it does not contain any type of harmful chemicals. In fact, the one thing present in these products is really a harmless quantity of propylene glycol that serves to make them easy to use. If you are a smoker looking to liberate from cigarettes, then this may be the perfect solution. However, if you’re not a smoker, you run the chance of developing nicotine addiction when using these vaporizing devices.\nThere are many different brands of e-cigarette on the market today. Some brands, such as for example Blu, claim to be healthier than others. However, no credible medical body has found any evidence to aid these claims. It is very important remember that smoking contains dozens of different chemicals, including tar and nicotine that can severely affect the body in a number of different ways. Therefore, investing in a quality e-cigarette with a good brand can give you healthier lungs ultimately.\nRegardless of the warnings that many doctors and health experts have issued against vapes, you may still find a significant number of people who use these devices regardless of the current health scare. The reason for this is because there are a variety of people who are unfamiliar with the dangers of smoking. In order to help they make the switch to e-cigarette’s, a variety of different flavors can be found. Papers can pick from fruity flavors such as for example raspberry or apple to the mellow and pungent flavors of pineapples and oranges. Many new vapers also enjoy fruit flavors, such as for example melon or tangerines, due to their high antioxidant levels. It is important to remember that while you will find loads of nice tasting fruit flavored e-liquids available on the market, it is very important to choose one that will not contain dangerous chemicals.\nAnd a variety of different flavors, consumers are able to purchase moist rubs and oil that will help them experience the vapors produced by vaporizing e cigarettes. These moist rubs and oil can be used to help combat the unwanted effects associated with nicotine withdrawal. The downside to the moist rub and oil is that they tend to get sticky and stained. A number of the more advanced models of the vaporizing devices are designed to be able to absorb in to the user’s skin, but this is not usually recommended. If you are going to utilize the moist rub and oil to combat the outward symptoms of nicotine withdrawal, then you should use them in conjunction with your e cigarettes.\nWhile there have been many statements made concerning the dangers of the cigarettes, the fact is that they provide a far healthier alternative to smoking. While tobacco use has been proven to contribute to various cancers and other health conditions, using the products significantly lessens the opportunity of encountering these ailments. Provided that the user uses these products relative to their package directions, they’ll greatly reduce the risks connected with smoking by a significant margin.", "domain": "health"}

There was a time when such surgeries were meant only for celebrities who wanted to retain their beauty and look ageless. Today, however, even common people do not hesitate to come under the knife. The reason is just plain and simple- they want to look good. No wonder, the number of plastic surgeries done across the world is increasing at a surprising pace. In fact, this branch of surgery is no longer confined to curative and restorative purposes but becoming more of an enhancement technique. Here are some of the most popular procedures being performed for cosmetic enhancements:\nFacelift: Facelift is perhaps the most in-demand surgical treatment that men and women want alike. It is being widely used to cater to the obsession of looking ageless. As one ages, the facial skin tends to sag and become wrinkled. The appearance of creases below the lower lids is the first sign of aging. Gradually, the facial fat gets displaced and this results in the accumulation of excess skin under the chin. Facelift is the procedure that involves re-sculpting of the facial fat to restore a toned look. During the surgery, incisions are made behind the ears and at the hairline.\nBreast Augmentation: Breast augmentation is another common cosmetic procedure. As the name suggests, this surgery is meant to enhance the size and symmetry of the breasts. The surgery involves placement of breast implants followed by tailoring of the symmetry of the breasts. Implants come in two varieties, saline (saltwater) and silicone. Most Plastic surgeons Atlanta recommend the latter because these look more natural. However, implants need to be replaced periodically, which means that there is a need for repeat surgeries. Breast augmentation results in scarring, which is subsequently resolved with plastic surgery.\nLiposuction: Liposuction is the procedure that involves the removal of excessive fat from certain body areas such as the stomach, buttocks, back and knees. It is done with the objective of removing localized fat and restoring the body proportions. People prefer to opt for liposuction because it seems to be a faster and easier alternative to natural weight loss. It gives them a toned appearance and boosts their self-esteem. However, patients need to follow a strict diet and exercise regime post-surgery so that they are able to maintain healthy weight levels and stay in good shape.\nRhinoplasty/Nose Job: Nose is the most prominent facial feature. A majority of people are dissatisfied with its natural curvature. They might think that it is too short or long, narrow or wide or curved. This accounts for an increasing number of people opting for rhinoplasty or nose job. It is a delicate surgery that can change the appearance of the patient even with a slight\nchange. The expertise of the surgeon matters a lot because he has to perform tricky tasks such as altering the size of the nostrils or changing the angle between the nose and the upper lip. In some cases, a rhinoplasty may be needed due to medical reasons too, such as for reducing airway obstruction.\nEyelid Surgery: Age and genetics lead to sagging of eyelids and sometimes, hooded appearance. Eyelid surgery is a plastic surgery that is meant to put the eyelids back in place. It is an extremely delicate procedure that involves removal of fat and extra skin from the eye area. Sometimes, it may also be recommended for the correction of the under-eye bags.\nIt is important to realize that plastic surgery for cosmetic reasons needs to be justified. Consider the pros and cons as well as weigh the costs and benefits before making up your mind. Also, see an expert plastic surgeon if you require any of these procedures.", "domain": "health"}

Baek, MD, FACOG, California Fertility Partners\nAmy's expertise proved to be invaluable to my wife and I as we launched into IVF. Amy patiently and thoroughly walked us through our test results, arming us with information that proved vital to a successful outcome. What could have been an overwhelmingly stressful process was rendered more manageable because of Amy's help.\n- Couple pre-IVF\nI've known and worked with Amy Vance for over 14 years. Our business relationship and now also friendship came out of a mutual desire to help the families we work with benefit from the most information possible regarding the health of their future children. Additionally, we share a deep responsibility to work on high moral and ethical grounds, and there is also the comfort in knowing I'm sending my clients to someone so knowledgeable in the field of genetics.

As service providers go, she’s among the best.\n- Neil Kelly, Client Services Manager, British Surrogacy Centre\nYou’re consultations are world-class and I feel very lucky to be working with you.\n- IVF physician, California\nYour advice was invaluable. Thank you for protecting my future family. You have secured our fate.\n- Intended father, regarding a genetic risk assessment on his ovum donor\nWhen we spoke, based on my wife’s family history of cancer, you suggested among other things that she get a mammogram before getting pregnant. Based on your advice, she did; and the doctors unfortunately found early stage breast cancer in her right breast. After surgery, we did an IVF cycle last summer and had a son. We wanted to write and thank you again. If not for your prudent advice, she would not have had a mammogram until much later. While we never wish our challenging experiences on anyone, we do certainly feel fortunate for the chain of events that led us to get that mammogram at age 35- including your sound, professional advice.\n- Couple undergoing IVF, genetic risk assessment provided prior to IVF\nWe had been trying to get pregnant naturally for 2 years with no luck. I am a carrier for an X-linked disease that causes blindness and we had heard about PGD and wanted to investigate this option. We spent the next year and a half speaking with several geneticists trying to find a lab that could test our family. We had no luck, but sought IVF anyway hoping to identify the sex of the embryo before implantation. My friend urged me to speak to Dr. Zouves and we were then introduced to Amy Vance. From here on out my words below cannot tell you how incredibly grateful we are and always will be. Amy, I am truly grateful for your dedication to your field. Thank you for finding us a lab that could do the PGD and eradicate a disease that has passed through every generation of boys in my family. And now I am close to 5 months pregnant with 2 girls who are not carriers. You deserve so much praise for your part. And thank you for all of your follow-up emails of support. It meant so much to me and kept me positive.\n- Couple undergoing IVF who required PGD for a genetic condition in their family\nYou spent so much time counseling us and giving us the benefit of your experience- without so much as a bill or hesitance in any way. We want you to know that your advice was much appreciated as we faced the possibility of raising a child with possible permanent behavior problems and other issues caused by drugs the mother used during pregnancy. What we learned was invaluable due to your referrals and guidance. We armed ourselves with this knowledge, and made a decision to raise and love the child. Unfortunately, the birth mother changed her mind. We also learned, as you suspected, that she was using drugs throughout the pregnancy. We believe this was a blessing in disguise, since I am now 12 weeks pregnant. You have been an amazing source of knowledge and assistance to us. I have been telling others in my egg donation group about you and must say that no one has received the kind of counseling that you have given us for our genetic consults, not to mention all of the additional time spent on our adoption. We will continue to refer you to our friends and hope that you know we appreciate your help very much!\n- Couple considering adoption\nI was unaware of the necessity of a genetic counselor until my husband and I decided to use an egg donor. We thought we had everything covered by simply getting genetic tests for him and our egg donor, but it was our genetic counselor who informed us that the tests did not in fact test for the same mutations, causing us to have our egg donor tested again with the same test my husband was given. Unfortunately there is immense oversight in the genetic testing industry (it’s a business, after all) and there are so many “traps” to potentially fall into if you don’t have a genetic counselor guiding you along the correct pathway. Fertility doctors, surrogacy/egg donor agencies and intended parents need to be better informed about the process and how to navigate it more efficiently and effectively, because it is a winding road with many speed bumps and dead ends. Information is power - however, without an adequate guide it can quickly become a treacherous journey. Genetic counselors are the key to preventing misinformation, and if you’re lucky enough to find a competent one like Amy Vance, the process becomes more manageable.\n- Couple seeking genetic counseling regarding genetic carrier screening prior to egg donation", "domain": "health"}

Whether you are researching implantable hearing solutions, such as a cochlear implant or Baha system or you are already a recipient or parent or family member of someone with hearing loss....we are a family of people who understand where you are and what you are going through, because we've been there ourselves.\nI grew up around people with hearing loss....several people in my family including my father and grandmother were hearing aid users as long as I can remember. I grew up with normal hearing as far as I know, however early in my work life I was experiencing difficulty hearing on the phone. With a family history of hearing loss I was evaluated and started wearing hearing aids at age 26. I was a successful hearing aid user for many years and had a progressive sensorineural loss. My hearing loss plateaued at about 65 dB for several years. At age 37 I experienced a sudden overnight loss which virtually left me deaf. I had no illness related to this loss. After determining that my hearing aids had not died...but instead my hearing had plummeted, my audiologist recommended I be evaluated for a cochlear implant. This was in the fall of 1995 and at that time the criteria for adult implantation was that you could have no measurable hearing. I had some (very little) measurable hearing at 250 and 500 hz. So while I had no speech understanding from that measurable hearing and about 120 dB loss in all other frequencies, I did not meet the criteria for implantation. Fortunately for me the criteria changed and after about 2 1/2 years of profound loss, I was approved as a candidate..... Although I was approved, insurance coverage of cochlear implants at this time was not an everyday occurrence...and therefore I battled insurance for an additional 2 years before I would get approval, therefore I was deaf for almost 5 years prior to implantation. I had immediate success with my implant. I had speech understanding from the first day and I have been using the phone since 5 days after activation!\nI am fortunate in so many ways....I had been part of a great organization (SHHH) now known as HLAA, therefore I had a lot of support and really made my decision to have a Nucleus Cochlear Implant because of others who were in HLAA who had chosen to have cochlear implants. I knew that Cochlear was the company the created the multi-channel cochlear implant and I only really knew one person who had chosen another brand. I knew if I needed support from my friends who had cochlear implants, that I wanted to have the same brand that they did...I also knew how much we shared information about technology such as assistive devices and such, so they could share with me all the \"gadgets\" they used with their processors to enhance their listening experiences. This was long before there was a thought of a community of cochlear implant recipients such as this website. I have been very happy with my cochlear implant and so about 6 years after my first implant I decided to get a second implant. Again, I encountered insurance obstacles which lasted 22 months, and literally I was approved for my second implant the day before my surgery was scheduled. So I was implanted in with my second device at Christmas of 2007. I personally find that my understanding of conversation in noise has been greatly enhanced by being a bilateral recipient. I also find that I can localize sound much better than having one implant. And I LOVE hearing bilaterally on the phone with a neck-loop or listening to music or books on tapes/cd and most recently my Kindle. In my opinion, two ears really are better than one.\nI look forward to hearing from you, please let me know how I may support you on your hearing loss journey.\nI am here to offer you resources, support and hope.\nHappy Hearing!

Have you ever wondered “how can I remove lines in my forehead”? These are some of the most frequently asked questions about skin care, that I will be answering in this article. Let’s get started now.\nWhy do I have lines in my forehead?\nThe single biggest cause of lines and wrinkles in the skin is a breakdown of collagen fibers. When the body is not able to produce enough collagen to replace them, the skin becomes loose and gets riddled with lines and wrinkles.\nAge is the biggest factor here for formation of lines. Other factors like the sun, wind, and chemicals also play a role in accelerating this process.\nCan a Collagen cream help?\nThere are two problems with collagen creams. One – the molecules of collagen are too big in size to be absorbed by the skin by applying a cream. Most of the collagen is left unused at the top of the skin and is effectively useless.\nTwo – the collagen in these creams is synthetic in nature and derived from cows or pigs. Even if it somehow makes it way into the skin, it is not able to mesh well with the complex structures of the natural collagen present inside. It can only provide temporary results and is not very effective.\nSo how do I remove the lines in my forehead?\nYour best option to remove the lines on your forehead is to naturally increase the collagen production in your body.\nActive Manuka Honey is one natural substance that can help you do it. It has been shown to increase the production of collagen and elastin in the skin – the two proteins needed for a firm and elastic skin. This honey also has anti bacterial properties which help in keeping the skin safe from bacterial attacks.\nPhytessence Wakame – a Japanese sea kelp, prevents the breakdown of hyraluronic acid in the skin. This acid plays an important role in binding the collagen and elastin fibers together and is essential for a smooth and firm skin. It also protects the skin from the damage caused by the Ultraviolet rays.\nCoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant and protects the skin from being damaged by free radicals. It also has a strong anti wrinkle effect.\nSo there you have it. All the information you need to reverse wrinkles from your skin. The next time someone asks “how do I remove lines in my forehead?” – you know what to tell them.", "domain": "health"}

But do you know which policies are best for your personal needs? Whether you’re single, employed, self-employed, married, or retired, there are many reasons why you should invest in health insurance. In this article, we’ll discuss the top 5 reasons that you should consider for your health insurance plan from an online vendor like Florida Insurance Quotes at https://floridainsurancequotes.net/health-insurance-quote/.\n- You can’t tell the future. Unless of course, you’re a psychic. If, like most of us, you’re just as clueless about tomorrow as you are about a year from now, you’d better invest in health insurance. It protects you and your family from incurring a very expensive bill in the event of a medical emergency. You never know what will happen – even if you and your family are completely healthy, someone could need appendicitis or even treatment for a heart attack. These procedures have the potential to bankrupt a family if they can’t afford to pay. Health insurance prevents this from happening.\n- You can see a doctor sooner. Most people who don’t have health insurance end up waiting in line for hours. They might even have to resort to going to the emergency room or even avoiding the doctor altogether. Don’t let this happen to you and your family. By investing in an affordable health care plan, you’ll be able to see a doctor in a reasonable amount of time. Good plans will also include visits to dentists, optometrists, and even mental health care professionals.\n- You’ll have peace of mind. And when you have peace of mind, you’re healthier. Stress is a huge factor in why people seek the care of doctors – and although this might sound a bit far-fetched, it’s true. Having health insurance will help you to stay happier and healthier by relieving your anxiety. Whether you have the flu or something more serious, you’ll rest easier knowing you’re covered.\n- You can get one tailored to your needs. Some people are frightened of paying for health insurance that they simply won’t use. Others are worried that a policy might not cover them because they have a chronic condition. Now you can shop for health care plans that are custom-tailored to your needs. You can actually find policies that are affordable and still cover all your needs.\n- The healthcare reform act is in effect. If you couldn’t previously afford insurance, you can now find more affordable plans thanks to the new Affordable Care Act. Alternatively, if you do not want health insurance, you’ll have to pay a tax at the end of the year. There is truly no reason you shouldn’t try to get a good policy with these changes in effect. It’s easier and cheaper than ever before.\nWith these tips, you can easily see why you need healthcare. Hopefully these tips can help you in your search for affordable, comprehensive, and customized healthcare plans. You’ll rest better and feel better knowing you and your family are taken care of medically. It’s never been easier – or more important – to invest in health insurance!", "domain": "health"}

After witnessing the healing affects it had on my own life, I knew how crucial it was for others to experience this level of healing on their journey to wellness as well. In 2011, I became a Reiki practitioner and began sharing this beautiful gift of healing.\nReiki is a method of stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. The word “Reiki” means spiritually guided life- force energy and it was developed in Japan in 1922 and brought to the West in 1937. It’s meaning comes from two Japanese words: Rei, which means God’s wisdom or the Highest Power, and Ki which is life- force energy.\nReiki is based on the idea that unseen life-force energy flows through all things. Our physical body is alive because of the ‘life force energy’ that is flowing through it. If our life force is low or blocked, we are more likely to get sick, but if it is high and free-flowing, we can more easily maintain health and the feeling of well-being.\nThe Reiki system of healing is a technique for transmitting the subtle energy to others through the hands into the human energy system. The client is fully clothed and the practitioner places their hands gently on, above, or around the body. Although Reiki is not associated with any religion, it is similar to many spiritual traditions which use the “laying on the hands”. Receiving Reiki feels like warm gentle sunshine flowing through you, surrounding you and comforting you. Reiki is powerful, yet at the same time, gentle and nurturing.\nReiki is a holistic healing technique that heals on all levels: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. One of the most common healing benefits is that it restores energy balance and vitality by relieving physical and emotional effects of unreleased stress but Reiki also has many additional benefits which are virtually endless. This healing technique is a wonderful compliment to medical care and all other healing modalities.\nReiki sessions usually last a total of 50 minutes with another 15 minutes for reflection. Cost $65\nI have been working to help individuals reach their health goals for over 7 years. When I first began, I witnessed so many people make amazing physical transformations but the more I saw, I realized that I was only helping my clients achieve temporary change. Healing to me, was something more than just what you could see on the outside, but a change that was felt on the inside which then begins to shine through. I knew that in order to achieve true and full healing, you must approach it from a much deeper place. I have always used holistic healing in my own life and knew I wanted to share the mind, body, spirit connection with my clients. My path then lead me to the Institute of Integrative Nutrition where I received my education and became a certified holistic life coach.\nMy Life coaching sessions are designed to create an alliance between myself and the client where the coaching relationship continually gives all the power back to you, the client. I believe you know the answers to every question or challenge you may have in your life, even if those answers appear to be obscured, concealed or hidden inside.\nMy skills are about knowing the right questions to ask and having the right tools and techniques to empower you to find those answers within yourself. You, the client, are the only expert in your entire life who truly knows who you are and what you need. You are the only expert who can recognize what is absolutely best for you. As your coach, I help you discover what your own personal “best” might be.\nEvery day we make choices to do or not to do many things. These choices may range from profound to trivial and each one has an effect that makes our lives more fulfilling or less fulfilling, more balanced or less balanced, that makes our process of living more effective or less effective. Life coaching helps you learn to make choices that create an effective, balanced and fulfilling life. I am here to help you uncover your true self and create peace and healing from the inside out.\nLife coaching sessions are one hour in length. Cost $65\nREIKI & LIFE COACHING\nIn the years that I have been practicing both Reiki and Life Coaching, I have seen so many amazing shifts happen with the individuals I work with. Both of my practices have specific healing benefits when used on their own but what I have found is that, when they are combined, an even more beautiful stage is set for change and growth.\nAs my clients receive Reiki, their energy centers become unblocked and life-force energy is able to run freely through their body. This allows them to walk through life more balanced, relaxed, and full of awareness, making it easier to change old habits and patterns. However, with this new found balance and inner peace, I have found that many of my clients want to explore and understand further what they are opening up during their Reiki sessions. I have discovered that life coaching is a crucial part at this time. With the partnership of Reiki and Life Coaching, I am able to guide my clients along their path to balance and wholeness as they begin to walk more easily through this beautiful and fulfilling life.\nReiki and Life Coaching are two hours.

Because of this reaction to the vaccination, there is an alternative painless vaccination called DTaP which is sometimes chosen instead of DTwP vaccination. There is a lot of debate between DTaP vs DTwP as to which vaccine is better.\nWhat Is DTaP?\nThe DTaP vaccination is given to children to protect them from three diseases. If people search painless vaccination wiki, there is a lot of information about them online on Wikipedia. This vaccination includes vaccine immunization against Diphtheria, Tetanus and Whooping Cough. Diphtheria is a respiratory disease that can cause breathing and respiratory problems, paralysis and also can be fatal. Tetanus is caused by bacteria and can attack the nervous system and if it is left untreated, can be fatal.\nSimilarly, whooping cough or Pertussis, can cause pneumonia, seizures and other medical problems and also can be fatal. Hence this vaccination is very important to protect children from these dangerous diseases. Hexaxim vaccination also includes DTaP along with other vaccinations for diseases. Generally, this vaccination is given in two stages – the primary immunization and then a booster immunization that can be given later. Some years ago painless vaccination were banned in India because of effectiveness issues but it was relaunched later and are now available in the country.\nDTaP Vaccination – Painless Vaccination\nPainless vaccination is a type of vaccination that does not cause swelling or pain at the site of the injection. This is preferred to DTwP vaccination by some because it has fewer post-vaccination side effects like fever, swelling, and pain as compared to DTwP which also vaccinates against Diphtheria, Pertussis, and Tetanus. Know more about Painless Vaccinations – Safety & Side Effects.\nAdvantages of Painless Vaccinations like DTaP\n- The main advantage of DTaP painless vaccination is in the post-vaccination period. As mentioned above immediately after the vaccination takes place, this vaccination does not cause as much pain as compared to DTwP.\n- There is no swelling on the site of the injection after the vaccination is given. The DTwP vaccination can cause swelling where the injection is administered. Painless vaccination is good for the baby if there is a higher risk of fever or swelling and other side effects due to other health factors.\n- Another advantage is that sometimes the DTwP can cause slight fever post vaccination. The advantage of DTaP which is a painless vaccination, the chance of getting fever post vaccination is very less.\n- If a child is prone to allergies and severe side effects of vaccinations, this painless vaccine is opted for instead of DTwP. Painless vaccination side effects are limited in comparison to DTaP. Painless vaccination at 6 weeks costs are much higher than DTwP.\nPainless Vaccinations Side Effects\n- The main question is – are painless dtp vaccine effective? The effectiveness of this vaccination is a major disadvantage of painless vaccinations. The simple fact is that DTaP is less effective than DTwP to vaccinate against the same diseases. DTaP has lesser immunity stimulating components as compared to DTwP\n- For example, DTaP protects a child against Pertussis but that child can carry the disease and infect others as Pertussis enters the vaccinated child’s airways. This means that the child getting the vaccination is immune but can still carry the disease and infect other children. This means that DTwP is safer as it protects the vaccinated and people around them from Pertussis.\n- Painful vaccines like DTwP vaccines last longer in the body as compared to DTaP. This means DTaP vaccines require more vaccine shots to maintain the level of immunity as compared to DTwP.\n- The cost of painless vaccination for babies in India is high. The painless vaccines are much more expensive than painful vaccinations like DTwP. If there are more times that the vaccination has to be given and so DTaP overall become very effective.\nSafety First – Pediatrician’s Advice\nGenerally, the family doctor or the pediatric doctor of the children give the parents all the information regarding when to take the vaccination and which vaccinations need to be taken. Painless vaccination like DTaP is a relatively new and asking all the details about the vaccination to the doctor is advisable. Painless injection for baby costs more than DTwP. The doctor knows the medical history, allergies, and other backgrounds plus medical information about a child. The doctor is likely to give safe medical advice to the parents in choosing between painful and painless vaccination.\nThere are many factors like painless vaccination charges in comparison to DTwP charges and also when to give which type of vaccination. For example, some pediatricians advise the parents to give DTaP as a booster immunization vaccine and not as a primary immunization vaccine. DTaP for 2nd booster vaccine is a choice that many opt for as doctors recommend it to the parents. Taking the right medical advice is essential as the doctor knows best as to which vaccine is a safer option for a child.\nPentaxim vaccination also includes the DTaP vaccine. Painless vaccine became very popular among many parents because of the limited post-vaccination side effects as compared to painful vaccines like DTwP. On the other hand, in the long run, painful vaccines like DTwP give more immunization for a longer period of time.\nVaccination is very important for children. The government gives a list of vaccinations that have to be done at various intervals and various ages for a child to be immune to a host of diseases that can attack a child anywhere on the planet. Without vaccination, children become very vulnerable to dangerous diseases and so governments all over the world carry out various campaigns to help with educating parents about vaccines. More people being aware of vaccines and all the information related to it make children safer. Over the years many diseases like polio, smallpox and other such disease are all but eradicated from society. There is constant research being done to make the vaccine safer and scientists are looking for better ways to reduce the side effects of these vaccines.\nIt May Interest You To Read –", "domain": "health"}

We’ll take a look at what hemp is, what hemp oil is, dosage and uses. Hemp oil is incredibly versatile recreationally, and more importantly medically. Treating ailments, pain, and mental issues are some of the uses for hemp oil. There’s an almost endless amount of different ways to reap the benefits of hemp.\nWhat is Hemp and Hemp Oil?\nHemp is a variety of cannabis that has been traditionally used for industrial purposes and recreational reasons. The legalization of marijuana has led to intense research and development in the medical field. And the findings have been nothing short of a miracle. Hundreds of medical illness both mental and physical, react positively to treatment.\nRaw hemp is used in rope, paper, clothing and many other textiles. It has been used for almost 10,000 years. And now we have discovered the healing properties found in the oil. Hemp Oil is the pure CBD or THC extracted from the plant. Hemps bred in many different percentages, strengths and strains. A Sativa strain of hash oil is what you want to use for euphonic reasons. This will energize you and improve your mood. An Indica strain of hash oil is better for relaxation and pain management. This is a good place to start when choosing your hash oil.\nHow to Use Hemp Oil\nYou use Hemp oil alone or you add it to another substance depending on how you use the oil and what you need. Direct drops can be applied in the mouth. The results are fast as the CBD or THC absorb directly into the bloodstream and bypass the stomach. This brings instant relief to those who suffer physical pain. Patients include those with back pain, cancer, MS, twitching, epilepsy and many other chronic illnesses.\nOther users prefer medical edibles for slow release and long lasting pain management. Hash Oil can be used in just about anything you can eat or drink. There are cookies, cakes and candies. They also use drinks like soda, beer and juices. The high usually takes time to slowly set in and can be more intense and last for hours depending on the dosage. These are fun recreationally as well. A standard 50 mg brownie will make for hours of relaxation and smiles.\nThose with more serious ailments or chronic issues use capsules or gummies. These come in micro doses. The patient can enjoy low levels of THC or CBD throughout the day. This is a great use of hash oil for those with trauma. Users include those with depression and anxiety, sleep issues, anger, PTSD and more. It also regulates bodily pain.\nHow Should I Use Hash Oil?\nThe best way to use hash oil is to start slowly and find the right medicine for you. If you just want to get high try edibles. Start with 5 to 10 mg of a cookie and wait an hour. If you feel nothing try another 5 to 10 mg. Be careful. Edibles sneak up on you. The high can go away for 2 hours and come back just as strong.\nIf you’re sick you should find a regiment or daily dosage appropriate to your need. You should talk to someone. Go to a dispensary. They can help. They know which Hash Oils do what, and what the specific benefits are to each. Regardless of how you use hash oil or why you need it dosage is the key. Either way, you will find that Hash Oil will vastly improve your life.", "domain": "health"}

For 15 minutes (timer on!), one of the two people will stimulate the clitoris of the other person. With no other purpose than to pay attention to the body and genital sensations.\nThe OM protocol is always the same, which allows replicability. The OM begins by knowing exactly how the 11 steps work. In this way, the duo can let themselves go into the sensations (centre of vigilance off) and be in the present moment of the experience. The OM always ends with a sharing of a feeling felt during practice. Thus, it helps to put words on the perceived body sensations and to express them to your partner.\nThe OM allows an awareness of the body and genital sensations. Thus, it facilitates the learning of pleasure, a re-appropriation of one’s body and a better quality communication with one’s partner.\nAs a Orgasmic Meditation Coach, I love to work with couple. I find OM a great tool for bringing the relationship to the next level.\nI also did a study on orgasmic meditation during my master’s degree. You can find it in French – Bataillon, C.B (2018).

But it’s not just a culinary treasure. This brilliant spice is also renowned for its wealth of health benefits. The benefits of turmeric are numerous….from reducing inflammation to boosting cognitive function, let’s delve into the science-backed benefits of turmeric and how you can incorporate it into your wellness routine.\nA Star Ingredient: Curcumin\nAt the heart of turmeric’s health-promoting properties is curcumin, a natural compound that gives turmeric its trademark yellow color. Curcumin is a potent antioxidant with significant anti-inflammatory properties, central to many of the benefits of turmeric.\nCurcumin’s antioxidant effect helps neutralize harmful free radicals in the body, which can cause cellular damage and contribute to aging and disease. Moreover, inflammation, while a necessary part of the body’s immune response, can become problematic when it becomes chronic. Chronic inflammation has been linked to numerous health issues, including heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease. By helping to combat both oxidative damage and inflammation, curcumin can play a role in preventing and managing these conditions.\nThe anti-inflammatory effects of curcumin are not just limited to chronic diseases. Curcumin can also help with everyday inflammation that can result from stress, poor diet, and lack of sleep. By helping to reduce this everyday inflammation, curcumin can help improve overall wellness and vitality.\nMoreover, curcumin has been shown to possess anti-cancer properties. Some research suggests that it can inhibit the growth of cancer cells and reduce the spread of cancer in the body. While more research is needed, these early findings are promising for the potential role of turmeric in cancer prevention and treatment.\nCurcumin’s benefits extend to mental health as well. Preliminary studies suggest it may have potential as a treatment for depression. By combating inflammation and oxidative stress—two factors that are believed to play a role in depression—curcumin may help to alleviate depressive symptoms.\nFinally, curcumin can support healthy digestion. It stimulates the gallbladder to produce bile, which can help improve digestion and reduce symptoms of bloating and gas. Furthermore, its anti-inflammatory effects can be beneficial for those with inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis.\nIncorporating Turmeric into Your Diet\nOne of the simplest ways to reap the benefits of turmeric is by incorporating it into your diet. Its warm, slightly peppery flavor can add depth to a wide range of dishes. Add a dash to your morning smoothie, sprinkle it on roasted vegetables, or use it to season chicken or fish.\nYou can also make soothing turmeric tea or golden milk, a traditional Indian drink made with milk, turmeric, and other spices. Here is an easy recipe for golden milk:\n2 cups of milk (you can use dairy or plant-based milk like almond, coconut, or oat milk)\n1 teaspoon of turmeric powder\n1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder\n1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger (or a small piece of fresh ginger)\nA pinch of black pepper (this helps with the absorption of curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric)\nHoney or maple syrup to taste\nPour the milk into a saucepan and heat over medium heat until it’s warm but not boiling.\nAdd the turmeric, cinnamon, and ginger to the milk and stir well. If you’re using fresh ginger, grate it directly into the saucepan.\nAllow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes. This will infuse the milk with the spices.\nAdd a pinch of black pepper and sweeten your golden milk with honey or maple syrup to taste.\nStrain the tea into a cup or mug if you used fresh ginger.\nStir well and serve warm.\nEnjoy your Golden Milk Tea! It’s a soothing, antioxidant-rich drink with anti-inflammatory properties.\nPairing Turmeric With Other Spices\nCurcumin is not easily absorbed by the body on its own. Consuming it with black pepper can enhance its absorption, thanks to a compound in black pepper called piperine. That’s why you’ll often see these two spices paired together.\nWhen it comes to incorporating turmeric into your cooking, the possibilities are almost endless. From savory dishes to sweet treats and drinks, there are countless ways to enjoy this powerful spice. Try adding turmeric to soups, stews, rice dishes, or even scrambled eggs for a healthful twist.\nTurmeric pairs well with a variety of spices, enhancing the flavor profile of your dishes. Combine turmeric with ginger and cinnamon for a warming spice blend, or pair it with cumin and coriander for a taste of the Middle East. Experimenting with different flavor combinations can make adding turmeric to your diet a delightful culinary adventure.\nDon’t forget about dessert! Turmeric can be a surprising yet delicious addition to sweet recipes. Add it to your next batch of banana bread or apple pie for a unique twist. You can also sprinkle it over your morning bowl of oatmeal along with a drizzle of honey.\nAside from adding it to food, another simple way to consume turmeric is through beverages. Turmeric lattes, also known as golden milk, have gained popularity in recent years for their comforting warmth and health benefits. Alternatively, you can add a small amount of turmeric to your regular tea or coffee. The taste is subtle, but the health benefits are significant.\nThe Power of Turmeric Supplements\nWhile adding turmeric to your food is a healthy habit, the amount of curcumin in the spice is relatively low—around 3% by weight. For those looking to take advantage of curcumin’s health benefits in a more concentrated form, turmeric supplements may be an excellent option.\nTurmeric supplements typically contain a much higher concentration of curcumin than you’d get from the spice alone. Some also include piperine or other ingredients to improve absorption. As with any supplement, it’s important to choose a high-quality product from a reputable source. Be sure to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have existing health conditions or are taking other medications.\nWhen choosing a turmeric supplement, it’s crucial to read the label carefully. Look for products that specify the amount of curcumin, as this is the active ingredient. Supplements should contain at least 95% curcuminoids, which are the most potent compounds in turmeric.\nIt’s also essential to consider the supplement’s formulation. Some forms of curcumin are more bioavailable—that is, more easily absorbed and used by the body—than others. Look for supplements that contain curcumin in a form that’s been shown to be bioavailable, such as curcumin phytosome or curcumin with bioperine (black pepper extract).\nWhile turmeric supplements can offer a more concentrated dose of curcumin, it’s important to remember that they should be part of a balanced diet. Supplements can’t replace a healthy diet and lifestyle, but they can complement these habits and provide additional benefits.\nLastly, always talk to your doctor before starting any supplement regimen. While turmeric and curcumin are generally considered safe, they can interact with certain medications, and high doses may cause digestive upset in some individuals.\nTurmeric for Brain Health\nEmerging research suggests that turmeric could play a role in supporting brain health. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of curcumin can help protect brain cells from damage. This may help slow cognitive decline associated with aging and reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.\nMoreover, curcumin can cross the blood-brain barrier, meaning it can directly enter the brain and benefit the cells there. Some studies have found that curcumin can increase levels of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a type of growth hormone that functions in your brain and is critical for learning and memory. Deficiency of BDNF has been linked to several brain disorders, including depression and Alzheimer’s.\nTurmeric for Heart Health\nA healthy heart is the cornerstone of overall well-being, and turmeric may play a significant role in maintaining cardiovascular health. The potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of curcumin can help protect your heart from damage. By reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, which are key contributors to heart disease, turmeric may help reduce the risk of heart conditions.\nAdditionally, research suggests that curcumin can improve the function of the endothelium, the lining of the blood vessels. Endothelial dysfunction is a major cause of heart disease, as it hinders the endothelium’s ability to regulate blood pressure and clotting. By enhancing endothelial function, turmeric could further contribute to heart health.\nSupporting Joint Health with Turmeric\nAs we age, joint health becomes increasingly important. The anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric make it a popular natural remedy for arthritic conditions. Research has shown that curcumin can alleviate symptoms of arthritis, such as inflammation and pain. In some studies, curcumin has even been found to be as effective as anti-inflammatory drugs for pain relief, without the side effects.\nIf you’re dealing with joint pain or stiffness, adding more turmeric to your diet or considering a turmeric supplement may be worthwhile. However, as with any treatment, it’s best to consult your healthcare provider to discuss the best approach for you.\nNavigating Potential Risks of Turmeric\nWhile the health benefits of turmeric and its active compound curcumin are numerous, it’s also important to be aware of potential risks and side effects. As with any supplement or dietary change, it’s essential to approach the use of turmeric with a balanced perspective and informed care.\nFor most people, consuming turmeric in food is completely safe. However, taking high doses of turmeric or curcumin supplements over a long period can sometimes lead to digestive upset, including stomach pain, nausea, and diarrhea. These side effects are more likely with high doses, so it’s recommended to start with a lower dose and gradually increase if necessary and comfortable.\nAdditionally, turmeric may slow blood clotting. This means that it could potentially increase the risk of bruising and bleeding in people with bleeding disorders. If you’re scheduled for surgery, it’s generally recommended to stop taking turmeric or curcumin supplements at least two weeks beforehand.\nTurmeric might also interact with certain medications. For instance, because of its anti-platelet activity, it could potentially enhance the effects of blood-thinning drugs, leading to increased risk of bleeding. It may also interact with medications for diabetes, as both turmeric and these medications lower blood sugar, potentially causing hypoglycemia if used together.\nFor those with gallbladder disease, the use of turmeric could worsen the condition, as turmeric can cause the gallbladder to contract. If you have this condition, it’s best to consult with a healthcare provider before taking turmeric supplements.\nAs with any supplement or dietary change, it’s crucial to discuss the use of turmeric with your healthcare provider, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking other medications. This way, you can reap the many benefits of this golden spice while navigating potential risks safely and effectively.\nTurmeric: A Golden Addition to Your Wellness Routine\nFrom supporting brain and heart health to alleviating joint pain, turmeric is truly a golden addition to any wellness routine. While adding turmeric to your dishes can provide some benefits, supplements ensure a potent, concentrated dose of curcumin for maximum health benefits. As always, consult your healthcare provider when starting any new supplement regimen.\nIn an age where modern medicine seems to have an answer for everything, it’s comforting to know that simple, natural remedies like turmeric continue to hold their own. With its myriad of health benefits, this humble spice is proof that sometimes, the best solutions have been under our noses (or in our spice cabinets) all along. Here’s to the vibrant, powerful, and health-boosting wonders of turmeric!\nRead more about the importance of diet: Unlocking the Power of the Longevity Diet: A Guide to Healthy Aging and Nutrition\nDisclaimer: The information provided in this blog post is for educational purposes only and should not be considered as medical advice.

This system of medicine stresses on the prevention of body ailments in addition to curing them. Today, its a unique, indispensable branch of medicine - a complete natural healing system that depends on the diagnosis of your body's humours - vata pitta and khapha - to achieve the right balance\nAyurveda believes in treatment of not just the affected part, but the individual as whole. Making it the natural way to refresh yourself, eliminate all toxic imbalances from the body and the thus regain resistance and good health.\nKerala's equable climate, natural abundance of forests ( with a wealth of herbs and medicinal plants) and the cool mansoon season are best suited for Ayurveda's curative and restorative packages.\nThere are four Vedas or treatises which form the basis of Indian Philosophy. They being the RIGVEDA, The YAJUR VEDA, The SAMA VEDA and The ADHARVA VEDA. Ayurveda has emerged out as the branch of Adharva Veda dates back over 5000 years. It is said to have been originated from Lord Brahma ( creator of universe according to Indian Philosophy), and has been descanted to the earth through various generations of GODS and SAINTS. This has been handed down to us by means of ancient venerable scripts as palm leaf books, leather leaves etc. The oldest works in Ayurveda now available are the CHARAKA SAMHITHA, SUSRUTHA SAMHITA and ASHTANGA SAMGRAHA.\nAyurveda is also known as ASHTANGA VEDA ( the word literally means \" Eight branches of knowledge\") as it is divided into eight specialized branches. They are as follows\nAccording to Ayurveda every living and non living being in this universe is a combination of five basic eternal elements, called Pancha Maha Bhoothas. Human Body is also constituted by this five eternal elements in various compositions. Hence it can be conceived that every cell of body is possessed with all the properties of life. The only difference of Human Body from the external World is the expression of CHAITANYA or consciousness or life spark or spirit or soul. The five basic eternal elements are\n(A). Earth (B). Water (C). Fire (D.) Air (E).Ether\nThese eternal elements manifest in the Human Body as three basic principles or subtle energies or humours (Thridosha in Sanskrit) The word Dosha literally means that which maintains and controls the body. They are Vatha, Pitha and Kapha. The Pancha Maha Bhoothas and the Thridoshas are not prevalent to the naked eye. But they should be conceived on comprehensive terms in which all physical structures and psychological functions of the body are included. the Air and Ether elements combined to form the Vatha Principle. The fire element constitutes Pitha principle. Earth and Water elements combine to form Kapha principle. These three basic principles govern all biological, physiological and physio - pathological functions of the body, mind and consciousness. They act as basic constituents and protective barriers for the body in its normal physiological conditions.\n|Ayurveda||Yoga||India||Kerala||Treatments||Ayurvedic Resorts||Ayurveda Hospitals||Ayurvedic Holidays||Contact Us|", "domain": "health"}

The mechanical effects of one method and the heat effects of the other method are potentiated and ensure a visibly improved, smoother complexion. Due to the mechanical and thermal division in the treatment process, one also speaks of fractionated radio frequency microneedling.\nRadio frequency microneedling advantages at a glance:\n- The self-healing process of the skin is activated\n- Elastin and collagen production is stimulated\n- The production of hyaluronic acid is stimulated\n- Wrinkles are smoothed out\n- Scars are reduced\n- The skin appears fresher and rosier\nHow does radio frequency microneedling work?\nDuring the treatment - just like with classic microneedling - the finest needles penetrate the skin's surface. The skin renewal is stimulated by the small stitches and tiny injuries . What is new about this treatment is that the needle tips also deliver radio frequency waves in pulses into the deeper layers of the skin. The heat impulses set regeneration and repair mechanisms in motion and also stimulate the production of collagen. Existing collagen fibers are contracted by the radio wave impulse, resulting in an immediate tightening of the skin . The radio waves used have the advantage that they reach the deeper layers of the skin directly without heating the top layer of skin. The heat is released in a targeted manner in the targeted, deeper region of the skin.", "domain": "health"}

As we celebrate World Food Day, it is the perfect time to explore and celebrate this unique lifestyle that not only nourishes the body but also enriches the soul. The Mediterranean diet and social traditions are a testament to the profound connection between food, culture, and community, emphasizing the importance of sustainable nutrition for a better world.\nAt the heart of the Mediterranean way of life is its iconic diet, widely recognized as one of the healthiest in the world. This diet is primarily plant-based, emphasizing a rich variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts. Olive oil, a cornerstone of Mediterranean cuisine, provides healthy fats and antioxidants while also imparting a distinctive flavour to dishes. Lean proteins like fish and poultry are preferred over red meat, and dairy consumption is moderate.\nThis type of diet offers numerous health benefits:\nIt is associated with lower rates of heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes.\nThe abundance of fibre, vitamins, and antioxidants contributes to overall well-being and longevity.\nThe emphasis on seasonal and locally sourced foods promotes sustainable consumer choices.\nWorld Food Day calls upon us to address global food security and sustainability issues. Embracing the Mediterranean diet’s principle of seasonal and local eating can significantly contribute to these goals. By reducing food miles and supporting local agriculture, we can lessen our ecological footprint and help promote a more sustainable food system worldwide.\nBeyond its diet, the Mediterranean way of life places a strong emphasis on social connections and communal dining. In Mediterranean cultures, meals are not just about sustenance; they are a time for family and friends to come together, share stories, and strengthen bonds. This communal approach to food also aligns with the spirit of World Food Day, which calls for unity in the fight against hunger and poverty. Gathering around a table to share food fosters a sense of togetherness and solidarity.\nIn conclusion, the Mediterranean way of life serves as a powerful example of how food can be a force for good in the world. As we commemorate World Food Day, let us celebrate this way of life and use it as a catalyst for positive change in our own lives and across the globe. By doing so, we can take meaningful steps towards a healthier, more sustainable, and more connected world for all.\nThe DELICIOUS project is formed by a multicultural and multidisciplinary consortium with 10 partners from 5 Mediterranean countries. The objective is to promote the Mediterranean diet across Med countries, and this wouldn’t be possible without the support and funding of the PRIMA programme and the Horizon 2020 Programme of the European Commission.", "domain": "health"}

What do these services have in common? The free market\nSen. Colbeck has been an outspoken advocate for free market healthcare solutions based upon principles such as competition, transparency, and customer service. The Senator’s goal is to make Michigan the center of a free-market healthcare revolution featuring higher quality with lower prices. Once fully implemented, Michigan would become a destination state for employers seeking high quality healthcare for their employees at an affordable price.

I will report on highlights of the conference next month. The connection between the two topics is that HPV is associated with most anal cancers and precancer lesions as well as anal warts.\nThe most common question I am asked by patients no matter their age, gender or sexual proclivities, is: “Can I pass this to my partner(s)?” The most common question I am asked by other providers is: “Who should get the HPV vaccine?”\nThere are over 100 HPV types. About 30 effect the genitalia, anus and mouth. They cause warts and cancers of all these areas. Sadly, Farah Fawcett Major died of anal cancer, and Michael Douglas is the poster boy for oral HPV-related cancers. It has been understood for decades that HPV is a necessary cause of all cervical cancers. In the cervix, vagina, vulva and anus we have clear recognized pre-cancerous changes and that is what the Pap smear (cytology) screens for. When a test indicates that there may be a lesion, the individual is referred for higher level testing, which could include a colposcopy exam and/or high resolution anoscopy.\nBut what about exposure to HPV in the first place? If the HPV weren’t there, none of this would be going on, right? Well, therein lies the problem. Everyone gets HPV. There have been virgin and nun studies done that show HPV exposure. Women who have only had sex with women can be HPV positive. Studies have shown that most gay men (or any MSM) are HPV positive, and with multiple types, especially among HIV-positive men. The only persons unaffected by HPV are those who have never had any sexual contact. No hands, no tongues, no penises, no vaginas touching any or all of these parts.\nI like to think of HPV as a pyramid. The bottom of that pyramid is exposure to the virus – and it is universal. As you go up the pyramid, there are the low-grade changes and these includes warts. A nuisance, and no one wants them, but benign. The official medical term for these are low grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL). Then there are the high-grade lesions (HSIL), which are thought of as pre-cancerous. Since it’s a pyramid, most of these won’t become cancers, but we can’t tell which ones will and won’t progress to cancer, therefore our approach has been to treat them all by removing them. We now know that in women, most of the cervical changes will go away by the time a woman is 30. It is the HPV and lesions that persist beyond age 30 that we have to worry about to prevent a cervical cancer from developing. However, we don’t have similar studies for the anal canal, and research on the oral cavity is in its infancy.\nSo what do I tell my patients? First, that everyone has HPV and that unless they are sleeping with 16-year-old virgins they don’t need to worry about transmitting HPV to their partners. Everyone can give or get HPV from anyone – straight, gay, anywhere in the LGBTQI spectrum. The exposure to HPV is not the problem, because in a healthy sexually active person there will be exposure to HPV. Once exposed, it’s between the individual and their immune system what happens to that HPV.\nWhile you can give someone HPV, you cannot give someone a high-grade lesion or cancer. I also tell my patients that about 50% of HIV-positive individuals will have a high-grade anal lesion. We also find such lesions in about 25% of HIV-negative GBTQI anuses (lesbians, we get a pass here). The cancers are still rare, about 150 per 100,000 (compared to breast cancer that is more like 11,000 per 100,000), but this is still much higher than cervical cancer ever was. Therefore, if you have an anus that receives or received receptive intercourse and especially if you are HIV-positive, please ask your provider about getting screened with a Pap (cytology) smear. If the test result is not normal – then you should be referred for a high resolution anoscopy exam.\nThere are two HPV vaccines now that over time should change the natural history of what I just explained – meaning less of all these problems in the next generation of LGBTQI folks. Gardasil contains the 4 HPV types that cause most warts (6,11) and cancers (16, 18). It has been approved for both men and women up to age 27. Cervarix protects against the two cancer HPV types (16,18) and is approved only for women up to age 25. The vaccine is most effective before someone is sexually active. There is some evidence that it may be helpful in people who are already sexually active (thus the approval in men and women up to age 27), and many believe it will help the immune system prevent the development or recurrence of lesions even in people who have clearly been exposed to HPV. These studies are underway. My advice: I don’t routinely recommend vaccination in anyone over age 26, although it is probably safe. I just don’t think we know if it will help, and in anyone over the age of 26, the cost will not be covered by insurance.\nI hope to have updates on this and will have more to report next month concerning both the IANS conference November 22-24, and the AIDS Malignancy Conference on November 21st at UCSF.\nDr. Naomi Jay is a nurse practitioner in the department of Infectious Disease at UCSF.", "domain": "health"}

Dr. Delgado offers the option of a waist enhancement technique that tightens additional musculature (the external oblique fascia) around the waist. This procedure trims and sculpts the waistline and improves the shape of the upper buttocks as a bonus.\nIdeal Candidate for a Tummy Tuck\nA Tummy Tuck is appropriate for men and women who are in good health and have any combination of loose abdominal skin, excess abdominal fat, or lax abdominal musculature.\nA patient may be a candidate if she has any of the following:\n- Excess or loose, hanging abdominal skin, either from weight loss or pregnancy.\n- An abdomen that protrudes unnaturally and out of proportion to the rest of the body.\n- An abdominal muscle compartment that has been weakened by pregnancy or aging.\n- Excess fat that is concentrated beneath the abdominal skin.\nTummy Tuck Surgery & Recovery\nThe tummy tuck surgery is performed through a horizontal incision made toward the hipbone. Dr. Delgado uses an anesthetic technique that decreases your risk of nausea, and enables you to recover faster and go home the same day. You will have to wear a girdle for 6 weeks after surgery, and will have a small drain that collects in a plastic reservoir for 4-7 days. Expect discomfort for the first 3 days. At one week, most patients feel quite well. We recommend 2 weeks off of work, as you need to feel comfortable. The only restrictions at 2 weeks are no heavy lifting or straining. By 6 weeks, you can do abdominal crunches.\nYou will have several post-op visits the first week, as this is the crucial healing time, and quite a few more throughout the year. Staying bent at the waist during the first week is important to healing a fine line scar. The results are dramatic and long lasting. Most patients find that a flatter and firmer abdomen boosts his/her confidence and makes them feel more confident in clothing. Unless a significant amount of weight is gained or lost, a patient can expect to retain his or her new shape for many years. Contact Dr. Delgado to schedule your consultation today!\nFrequently Asked Questions\nAbout Tummy Tuck Surgery\n1. How is a tummy tuck performed?\nDuring an abdominoplasty, Dr. Delgado makes a horizontal incision across along the lower abdomen, staying inside within the underwear coverage area line. The underlying muscle is tightened like a corset. Excess skin is pulled down and meticulously trimmed and the incision line is sewn closed. The belly button (navel) does not change from its original location in the abdomen, but it is pulled through a tiny incision made in the newly tightened abdominal skin. Tiny sutures reaffix it to the skin surface, resulting in a flat reset as an “innie” style belly button (navel).\n2. What can I expect during my initial consultation?\nDr. Delgado sees patients for consultations in both his offices, with one being located in San Francisco and the other being located north of the Golden Gate Bridge, in the city of Novato, in Marin County. He sees patients in both locations for consultations. In your initial consultation, Dr. Delgado will inquire about your concerns and goals, both short-term and long-term. Dr. Delgado, in addition, will confirm that you are certain you will not become pregnant in the future. This is because the procedure is intended only for patients who have completed childbearing or have no intentions or ability to become pregnant in the future. Dr. Delgado will perform a physical examination to assess the degree of your skin laxity, determine any slackness in the belly button and your abdominal wall and evaluate the appearance of the belly button (navel). He will show you an outline of where the incisions will be located and how long they would be. Dr. Delgado will have the opportunity to review before and after photographs of patients that he has performed surgery on so that you have an impression of his artistic work and talent. You will be presented with a DVD that shows patient testimonials as well as a DVD of a patient’s total experience. An exact price quote for your procedure will be prepared and given to you the day of your consultation for review.\n3. Is there anything I need to do to prepare for surgery?\nThe most important preparation you need to make is to prepare your family (or friend caregiver) and your home for your recovery. Make it as comfortable and uneventful as possible. Initially, your family/caregiver will be required to help you initially get in and out of bed and to and from the bathroom. You will need them to prepare food for you and assist you with your medications. If it is your habit to smoke, you need to discontinue this entirely. This needs to be stopped at least four weeks prior to surgery as smoking significantly impedes normal healing and can compromise your final results. Dr. Delgado and his staff will explain all the elements for the blood clot prevention program, which is a pro-active educational process designed to help prevent the serious complications of blood clots and thromboembolism. Prior to surgery, it is important to avoid all blood-thinning products that inhibit the blood’s ability to clot. These products include all non-steroid anti-inflammatory medications (e.g. Advil, aspirin, Motrin, Aleve, ibuprofen) and medications containing aspirin. Fish oil and certain herbal supplements need to be avoided for the same reason. Dr. Delgado will be providing a 20-page information booklet with these and other details to help you prepare for surgery.\n4. How long does the procedure take?\nIt takes approximately four to five hours. Often times, liposuction is done at the same time, which takes an additional hour or so. It also depends on if there is a waist-enhancement procedure performed, which takes more time as well. The length of time also depends if there are additional procedures, such as breast surgery; much like a Mommy Makeover. Dr. Delgado will be able to give you a fairly accurate time for your surgical procedure.\n5. What type of anesthesia is administered?\nAbdominoplasty surgery requires general anesthesia. An LMA (or laryngeal mask airway) is a new, state-of-the-art technique that allows the patient to breathe unassisted during the procedure. Short acting anesthesia medications are given to maintain an adequate, but light level of general anesthesia. This allows the patient to awaken very quickly at the end of the procedure. However, with a Tummy Tuck procedure, it is required that a short period of paralysis is performed, so that the abdominal muscles can be adequately tightened. This, again, is a short-acting paralysis, which quickly wears off before the procedure is concluded. Unless the muscles are in a relaxed state, this cannot be adequately accomplished. The anesthesiologist manages the patient’s breathing during this short phase. For most of the procedure, however, the patient breathes on their own.\n6. Will I be able to return home the same day?\nMost patients are able to return home the day of surgery. Significant advances have been made regarding the early postop recovery with the addition of the long acting Exparel directly into the surgical site for three to four days following surgery. This greatly reduces the amount of discomfort during the early postoperative period. However, if other procedures are added, an overnight stay may be required for safety and pain management.\n7. When can I return to work?\nYou will be able to return to work and most other activities within two to three weeks following your procedure. However, intense exercise and other strenuous activities should be avoided for at least six weeks to avoid unnecessary swelling and excessive stress on freshly healed structures. Driving generally can be resumed usually within reach in seven to ten days.\n8. How significant are my scars following my procedure?\nAll surgical procedures leave incisional scars. Dr. Delgado understands that you want these scars located in the most inconspicuous areas, so that regular clothing will conceal them. The scar is located low on the abdomen, just above the pubic hairline on most patients. The scar traverses from hipbone to hipbone. The exact length of the scar will depend on how much extra skin is to be removed. The scars can be easily hidden with clothing and will significantly blend into your skin tone over the subsequent year. Women tend to wear a large variety of clothing styles and they can opt to have a lower or higher incision.\n9. Will I be able to have children after an abdominoplasty?\nWe recommend that the childbearing years be completed. The internal tightening of the muscles could adversely affect a future pregnancy and, therefore, pregnancy is highly discouraged following a Tummy Tuck. We do not recommend it.\n10. How can I tell if I am a good candidate\nMany women, after childbearing years, require a Tummy Tuck to reclaim their pre-pregnancy bodies. The results of pregnancy can cause irreversible stretching, increased laxity of the skin, increased muscle laxity around the mid torso region and unwelcome increased fat deposits. A patient may best benefit from a Mommy Makeover, which, in addition to an Abdominoplasty, includes breast surgery and liposuction. This has become a very popular surgery combination. Other patients who are good candidates are patients who lose a large amount of weight, resulting in excess skin, which responds extremely well with a Tummy Tuck procedure.\n11. What is the cost of tummy tuck surgery?\nThe cost of tummy tuck surgery is about $12,000. That includes Dr. Delgado’s professional fee, Esperal for pain control, Marin Cosmetic Surgery Center fee, the anesthesiologist’s fee and all follow up care. It may be more if additional procedures are added such as; waist enhancement and additional liposuction. At the time of your consultation you will be given a detailed estimate of all your surgery fees.\nAdditional Before & After Photos\nThis is a 45-year-old, San Francisco, California resident who presented to the San Francisco Bay Area office at Union Square for evaluation for a tummy tuck.

The required visit to the hospital or clinic, and then the required “downtime”, don’t necessarily inspire feelings of fun and relaxation– but it doesn’t have to be this way. Instead of spending your convalescence cooped up in your house, imagine yourself somewhere else. Imagine yourself in a hammock gently swaying in the breeze, sipping on a delicious tropical juice or perhaps some ice cold coconut water. Sound appealing? If you’re planning on undergoing a medical procedure– be it cataract surgery or body contouring– then consider having it done in Panama.\nHealth tourism, also called medical tourism, is a form of travel where people visit another country in order to get medical, dental, or surgical care while at the same time having a vacation. In the past few years, Panama has emerged as a leading destination for health tourism, and for good reason. There is a wide selection of U.S. trained, English-speaking doctors at your disposal, and the country’s hospitals and medical facilities rival those in the United States. Hospital Punta Pacifica, for example, is affiliated with Johns Hopkins Medicine, boasts ultra-modern facilities, the latest technology, and superb attention to patients– it has a 1 to 2 nurse to patient ratio in the general procedure ward, and a 1.5 to 1 ratio in the ICU.\nOne of the biggest advantages to having medical procedures done in Panama is the low cost. You will save anywhere between 40% and 80% of what you would normally pay in a U.S. hospital. For example, a pacemaker surgery can cost $40,000 in the states, but only $8,500 in Panama, representing a saving of almost 80%! If you also consider the convenience of having the U.S. dollar as the official currency in Panama, as well as the country’s reputation for being a safe and modern place, traveling to Panama for medical attention is an obvious choice.\nWith the warm, tropical climate and so many things to see and do, Panama offers you the opportunity to have fun and improve your health. The best time to visit is between December and April, which is when Panamanians celebrate summer by going to the beaches, rivers and mountains, and by hosting Carnaval and other regional festivals and fairs. Visitors can fly to Panama very easily, since it is only 2 and 1/2 hours from Miami, and there are daily flights to Panama City from Miami, Houston, Los Angeles, and New York, among others. Why not fly in, do some sightseeing– in addition to beaches and islands, there are many opportunities to do ecotourism, such as birdwatching and wildlife observation– and then head to one of the country’s world-class hospitals for a knee replacement? Afterwards, you can rest and relax in style at one of Panama’s many hotels and resorts, arriving home a rejuvenated, healthier person. You don’t even have to worry about overstaying your visa, since the tourist visa U.S. citizens are granted upon arrival at the airport is valid for 90 days, and you can easily get an extension afterwards.\nPopular treatments in Panama are both health-related and cosmetic. Frequent dental services include teeth whitening, veneers and dental implants. In the area of opthalmology, some of the most popular procedures are Lasik, cataract surgery, glaucoma surgery, and vitreo retinal surgery. Other treatments that draw flocks of visitors to Panama include cardiology, stem cell therapy, fertility treatments, bariatric and obesity surgeries, orthopedics (including hip and knee replacements), cancer treatment and oncology. And, of course, there is a wide range of cutting-edge cosmetic procedures including face, breast, and body contouring. The top hospitals for medical tourism are Hospital Punta Pacifica, Hospital Nacional, Clinica Hospital San Fernando, and Centro Medico Paitilla. All of these have highly-qualified doctors and staff, and boast state of the art facilities.\nWhether you live in Panama or are just visiting, the country’s advanced medical tourism infrastructure offers something for everyone. Why not combine your health care needs with a much deserved vacation?", "domain": "health"}

We are bound to our homes, yet in addition doing more family tasks than we used to. From washing utensils to cleaning our homes, our hands are being presented to various sorts of aggravations every day of the week. What's more, the two specialists and the public authority, have underscored that normal hand washing and utilizing liquor based hand sanitizers are principal to forestall the spread of infection.\nReally focusing on our hands, a flexible device that it is, is vital during circumstances such as the present. Grumblings like dryness, breaks, scaling and excruciating gaps on the hands because of rehashed hand washing and openness to cleansers/cleansers have been on the ascent. Patients with prior issues like atopic dermatitis, hand sensitivities and psoriasis are finding it harder to deal with their skin wellbeing.\nFor what reason in all actuality does hand washing dry our skin?\nThe upper most layer of the skin, called the layer corneum has a \"blocks and concrete\" game plan. The blocks, comprised of a protein rich material are stuck by the mortar, made out of lipids. This course of action shapes the \"skin obstruction\", keeping water misfortune from inside the skin. It likewise restricts allergens and aggravations from entering the skin.\nAt the point when cleanser cooperates with the skin, it breaks down the soil and the infection, yet in addition can disturb the lipid layer of the skin. This debilitates the skin boundary causing the skin to lose its non-abrasiveness and permits allergens to handily enter the skin.\nThe following are 10 stages that you can follow to guarantee that your hands are all around safeguarded during this difficult stretch.\n1. Hand washing\nThere is no getting away from hand washing with cleanser and water. Utilize a syndet based bar or a cleanser free chemical that is liberated from brutal surfactants. Pick one that doesn't have any\nadditional antibacterial specialists, aromas and varieties as these can bother the skin further. Antibacterials in cleanser like triclosan play no part in safeguarding the skin against infections and can dry the skin further. Try not to wash hands with added substances like chloroxylenol (Dettol). They are incredibly brutal on the skin. Utilize cold water or tepid water. Try not to utilize boiling water to wash hands as intensity can additionally take away oils from the skin.\nApply a liberal measure of a thick lotion in no less than 3 minutes of wiping your distant. This '3-minute' rule will assist with securing in the dampness. A cream fills the holes between the skin cells, forestalls dampness misfortune and furthermore draws dampness from the encompassing environment and holds it inside the skin. Hence, it fixes the boundary that can get separated by rehashed cleanser openness and makes the skin smooth and delicate. A lotion can be pretty much as straightforward as petrol jam. However, for a cosmetically seriously engaging one, search for fixings like white delicate paraffin, squalene, dimethicone, vegetable oils like coconut oil, olive oil, jojoba oil, shea spread, cocoa margarine and pyrrolidone carboxylic corrosive.\n3. Try not to clean your hands with a loofah or pumice stone to eliminate toughness. This can develop gaps and present disease. This can hurt the skin boundary further and demolish dryness.\n4. Keep a container of cream close to each sink in your home, similar to your kitchen, feasting region, washroom and furthermore on your bedside table. Regularly practice it to apply a similar each time you clean up. This is particularly significant for patients with previous hand dermatitis. At sleep time, use cotton gloves subsequent to saturating your hands to seal it in.\n5. Limit wet work like washing utensils/garments to under 15 minutes at a stretch. Studies have shown that openness to water to beyond what 15 minutes can make critical harm the skin hindrance. Washing with running water is viewed as less hindering than drenching hands in a sink loaded up with lathery water.\n6. Eliminate rings prior to washing vessels or garments. Cleansers can remain in the hole and keep on bothering the skin even after the wet work is finished.\n7. Use cotton gloves under nitrile gloves while accomplishing wet work of any sort. Utilizing vinyl or nitrile gloves alone has displayed to expand the dampness misfortune from inside the skin. A cotton liner assists with forestalling this. Plastic and elastic gloves are related with sensitivities and consequently staying away from them is better.\n8. Wear gloves while cutting citrus natural products, papaya, pineapple, ginger, garlic and onions. The juices from these food things can cause extreme stinging and consuming assuming that your hands are dry or broken. They additionally demolish dermatitis. Ensure that the gloves fit your hands well and don't permit the juices to leak inside.\n9. Keep away from contact with finishes (wood/brassware), stain, hair colors, turpentine, and so on. While there is a lot of extra energy to enjoy side interests during this lockdown period, synthetic compounds can demolish hand dryness and incite sensitivities.\n10. Counsel your dermatologist assuming you notice difficult/draining crevices, thick fixes and dryness that doesn't subside with the above measures. Don't self-cure with steroid creams or non-prescription meds.\nA couple of moments of additional consideration will go far in keeping your hands delicate and graceful.", "domain": "health"}

If it starts to leak and the tattoo is NOT exposed, clean the area with isopropyl alcohol and patch the area with the more derm. If your artist does not provide you with extra pieces, you can purchase Tagaderm from CVS or Walgreens.\nRemoving the derm\nIf you can, keep the bandage on for at least 5 days, or for the duration your artist recommends. To remove the bandage it is best to take it off in a nice steamy shower. First wash your hands with antibacterial soap then wash the entire area of the tattoo with antibacterial soap. Use coconut oil and spread it on the derm and start to peel the bandage back and let the coconut oil seep underneath. Slowly peel the derm off, try not to pull too hard, it should come off relatively easily and the coconut oil should take off any adhesive residue. Pat dry with a paper towel and let air dry for about 20 minutes. Then apply a small amount of unscented lotion or vitamin E oil to the tattoo. A very little goes a long way, you do not want to over moisturize.\nCaring for Your New Tattoo After Removing derm\nOnce the final bandage has been removed, it will take approximately 1 week to peel. During this time period wash the tattoo with antibacterial soap and moisturize with an unscented lotion or vitamin E oil 1-2 times daily. The tattoo may appear to be fully healed on the surface once your derm bandage comes off. However, deeper layers of skin will still be repairing for 2-4 months. We recommend a good moisturizing regimen for this entire period. Also, drink plenty of water, your body takes hydration from your skin first, so help the healing process by staying hydrated.\nWearing derm While Showering, Swimming, and Exercising\nShowering while wearing derm is fine, but it’s best to keep the time spent in the shower to a minimum. Water may weaken the adhesive of the bandage, which allows for unwanted contaminants to enter the bandage, putting you at higher risk for infection. It’s also important to keep an eye on the temperature of the water. Too much heat can separate the bandage from the skin, inflame the skin, and irritate the tattoo.\nFor these reasons, DO NOT bathe, swim, or fully submerge a tattoo dressed in derm. DO NOT exercise, you need to avoid activity that causes excessive sweating. Just as water will weaken the adhesion of the bandage, so will sweat and any other significant amount of fluid. Try to keep the bandage as clean and dry as possible until it’s time to remove it.\nIf you have any questions or concerns, please contact your artist or the studio directly at 978-594-1488 or email firstname.lastname@example.org\nHealing your tattoo without Derm - 2 methods\nMETHOD 1 THE “WET” METHOD\nThis is a less conventional method but tends to work well for larger tattoos, as well as for tattoos in awkward areas that will be covered with clothing, since clothing can cause irritation. If you found that your tattoos have healed poorly in the past, this method may be an effective alternative.\nAfter you leave the studio you will have been cleaned and bandaged; remove the bandage after 3-4 hours and clean the skin with mild soap and warm water. After washing, gently pat it dry with a clean cloth or paper towel, then allow it to air-dry for 15 minutes. When the tattoo is dry to the touch, cover it completely with a new piece of plastic wrap, using small pieces of tape as needed to hold it in place. Do NOT use any healing ointment or moisturizer.\nWith this method, the tattoo is kept completely covered with plastic wrap 24 hours a day, usually for 48-72 hours. It is important to wash the tattoo every 4-6 hours or after any period of sweating, letting it completely air-dry afterwards, and applying a new piece of plastic wrap each time. It’s also important not to over-wrap the area, unnecessarily covering untattooed skin, which can trap excess moisture.\nAt this point, the tattoo has done a major portion of the healing process without yet forming a scab. The plastic should then be removed and the skin should be allowed to completely dry out and start the next phase. When the peeling begins after the initial 2-3 days, the tattooed skin will flake like a sunburn. At all costs, avoid picking at the cracked and flaking skin. The area may become dry and itchy and a good quality, fragrance-free lotion 0r vitamin e oil can now be used until the skin returns to its normal texture.\nContinue the moisturizing process AS NEEDED; there is no set limit and, depending on what you use, time will vary. I usually recommend moisturizing 2-3 times a day (again, AS NEEDED) so pay attention to your skin and if it dries out, simply re-apply. After a few days, and when the peeling has finished, your initial heal is complete. Moisturizing your skin is not a bad habit so you are welcome to continue as you see fit.\nMoisture can be very detrimental to the healing process. Too much plastic wrap on the surrounding untattooed skin—or not changing the wrap often enough—can lead to development of a moisture rash. This will appear as bright red irritation with tiny pimples around the affected area, and will likely feel painful and itchy. If this happens, do not re-wrap the tattoo or try to medicate it. Instead, let it dry completely and peel on its own. Apply lotion to the area once irritation has diminished.\nMETHOD 2 THE”DRY” METHOD (STANDARD)\nAfter you leave the studio you will have been cleaned and bandaged; remove the bandage after 3-4 hours. Don’t remove the bandage until you can properly clean the tattoo with mild soap and warm water. Rinse it well, sloughing off as much of the slimy coating that may have formed over the tattooed area while underneath the bandage. Gently pat it dry with a clean cloth or paper towel, then allow it to air-dry for 15 minutes before applying ointment.\nApply vitamin e oil or a specialty tattoo-healing product to the tattoo as needed, massaging a very small amount into the skin to keep the tattoo slightly moist, but NOT smothered. Use just enough ointment to make the tattoo slightly shiny, and blot off any excess. For the first day or two, your tattoo may require more cleaning or blotting, as the traumatized skin will still be losing a small amount of fluid. Ensure that extra moisture doesn’t get trapped under the ointment, by blotting and air-drying after each washing.\nThe healing tattoo should never stay submerged in water. Therefore, limit yourself to only short showers until the tattoo has finished peeling. It’s also important that a fresh tattoo be protected from the sun and dirty environments, as it’s still an open wound at this time. All normal activities involving water or sun exposure can usually be resumed after 10-14 days.\nOnly apply ointment for as long as it takes for your tattoo to peel, usually 3-7 days. When the peeling begins, the tattooed skin will flake like a sunburn. At all costs avoid picking at the cracked and flaking skin. When the tattoo has fully entered the peeling phase you should NOT apply any more ointment. The area will become dry and itchy, and a good quality, fragrance-free lotion or vitamin e oil can now be used until the skin returns to its normal texture.\nIf bubbles form on the surface of the fresh tattoo, stop applying ointment, letting it dry and peel on its own. This bubbling is caused by moisture getting trapped in your tattoo, usually from too much ointment, and could lead to scabbing. If scabs develop, they can remove the color beneath them if prematurely removed. It’s important that they’re allowed to dry out completely, and not get waterlogged at any time. The scab will eventually fall off on its own, and the tattoo should be fine if no deep cracks have formed.\nA combination of methods 1 and 2 is NOT recommended. Please only use one or the other. Remember that until your new tattoo peels, it’s an open wound, and needs to be treated as one. Give your tattoo the time and attention it needs to properly heal. Engaging in actions such as swimming, tanning, removing the bandage early, and general disregard for it, are done at your own peril. If you suspect an infection has developed, please seek medical attention immediately, as untreated tattoo infections can have very serious consequences.", "domain": "health"}

Her work at CYS oversees the Integrated Counseling Division, working with young people and their families. “Please have a read as I hope it is helpful to you all in caring for yourself, each other and our community in the new world we find ourselves in at the moment” Ferris said. The word Pandemic sounds dramatic and scary but that is what we are experiencing at the moment. It’s shocking and certainly unnerving at the very least. For some of us, however, this experience can feel incredibly stressful. The amount of disruption to our every day life is making it necessary for us all to be in a somewhat constant state of adaptation and problem-solving through each new unanticipated challenge as we navigate a wide-spread health concern that is spanning the globe.Take Care of Yourself1) Self-care Isolation and Social Distancing are necessary for public health but also a recipe for poor mental health!! As such, while we follow the required and recommended public health guidelines, we also take extra measures to address our mental health and well being. Good Self-Care can address the heightened level of stress we are prone to feeling during this time of uncertainty and cascading challenges that result from this disruption in our lives. It’s important to press pause several times a day and breath, get outside, take a bath or shower, connect with family or friends or do something relaxing like meditation, listening to the birds outside or noticing the new buds and blooms of spring. Chronic stress has a negative effect on our health and wellbeing, including our immune systems!! So take a moment to take care of your heart and mind and be present.2) StructureThe impacts of isolation can sneak up on you but the first signs are typically a depressed mood or increased irritability. Being mindful of those and addressing it when it happens is key but prevention is even better. Given that our daily routines are likely disrupted through this, sometimes to a great extent, creating a new structure to your day through this time can be incredibly helpful. If you are telecommuting, try setting up a specific space in your home that you plan to work from. Your temporary “home office” should be inviting, peaceful, and allow you to focus on your work. Then plan to take timed breaks to step away from your work throughout the day. It may also be helpful to set up some new structure to starting and ending your day, given that you may no longer be leaving the house and coming home. Daily hygiene can be the first to go when we have the opportunity to stay in our pajamas all day, but it is not the best thing for our mental health. Try getting up, showering and getting dressed for the day, getting a bite of breakfast and making a quick daily to-do list before sitting down to start working.Creating new routines for kids and our relationships are important as well to help everyone adapt and adjust well during this time. There may be a need to reset some expectations of each other to keep conflict in the home to a minimum when we are home together with each other all day, every day.3) Stay ConnectedWhile we can’t hang out in groups or give each other hugs of support right now, we can certainly connect virtually to help lessen the impact of isolation. Reach out to friends and coworkers via phone or video chat to touch base. Check in on that elderly neighbor (while maintaining 6 feet of distance).4) Limit Screen Time and Stay ActiveScreen time can dramatically impact your mental health for the worse. Studies on watching television show that after the first hour of watching TV, our mood plummets in the second hour and further each hour after that. To fill down time and get your mind off things, try a good book or jigsaw puzzle. Establishing new activities to replace canceled recreational, creative or social group activities, etc is also critical. Try starting up a new hobby or getting back into an old one like finally doing those youtube classes on playing a guitar or finishing that old scrapbook or wood project you started.There is another dimension as well which is that although this outbreak affects everyone, it does not affect us all equally. Although we are all facing this bigger challenge together, we are not all facing the same types of challenges. So we need to exercise empathy towards each other and caution in making comparisons or broad statements.Homeless We hear a lot about those that are elderly or have significant medical conditions being more at risk of getting very sick or even dying from the virus. What we don’t hear as much is that those without housing are at significant risk and cannot isolate the way those that are housed can. Additionally, those that are homeless often have significantly more health concerns to begin with and have less access to facilities needed to maintain the hygiene we are hearing about everyday as a recommended precautionary measure.Financial InsecurityThose that have low-income, are living just at their means each day, or own a small business are at significant financial risk due to the shutdowns taking place. The impact on the economy has the potential to pull the rug out from under many people in our communities through reduced income or breaks in employment, or unanticipated expenses.Pre-Existing Mental Health ConditionsFor those of us that have significant mental health challenges such as anxiety, mood, trauma or obsessive-compulsive disorders, the events we are currently experiencing can be debilitating. This is obvious when you consider those who worry constantly, especially about germs, but even disorders like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or Major Depressive Disorder can be exacerbated by the safety threat, potential isolation and potential loss that can come from this outbreak. Additionally, those that suffer from or are in recovery from Substance Use Disorders may have difficulty maintaining sobriety through these stressors and forced alteration of lifestyle.Counseling Tools Can HelpWith an event this big, sometimes it can be difficult to decipher what is a realistic concern and what isn’t. For those of us that manage anxiety daily in our normal lives, this can make it difficult to re-establish and maintain recovery. The common methods of treatment for anxiety, such as “reality testing”, can fail us in this new world of uncertainty, unknowns, and large-scale impacts.What we do know, is that no matter the reality outside our doors, there are tried and true evidence-based tools we can all use to stay grounded. By far the most important one is something called “Radical Acceptance”. Similar to the “Serenity Prayer” of Alcoholics Anonymous, “Radical Acceptance” is a simple but very powerful concept. It is accepting what is happening right now (instead of trying to fight it or deny it) and then focusing only on what you personally have control over and taking action in those areas. How do you know if you are trying to fight something? Generally, if the statement or thought contains the word “should”, then there is a lack of acceptance of that reality. By accepting what is and then focusing on what you can actually do about it, we empower ourselves and reduce feelings of helplessness, hopelessness and constant worry.Virtual Care is available for Mental Health ServicesThere are many other tools and resources that can help right now. Most mental health counselors at the moment are working on or have started to offer their usual in-person therapy through virtual platforms instead. This is called Telehealth or Telemedicine. It does not involve FaceTiming or Skyping with your therapist as there are strict regulations concerning security and confidentially that have to be adhered to. But certain tools or versions of tools such as Zoom, American Well, Doxy.me are allowed to be used for receiving counseling. There are hundreds out there that are safe and approved for counseling services. Some are companies themselves that you access a provider through and others are just a technology solution for your own therapist to use.Don’t forget that you are not in this alone. Please take the time to check-in with each other throughout this time. Community Youth Services is your place of employment but it is also your work family. Lets offer each other grace through this temporary challenge, wraparound each other and help each other get through this and not just survive but thrive.Community Youth Services (CYS) is currently offering virtual behavioral services to help those young people that may be feeling the effects of this pandemic. Staff are scheduling one-on-one counseling sessions will be available based on present staffing and availability via telemedicine.CYS ParticipantsOur Behavioral Health treatment programs (Multisystemic Therapy and Transitional Age Youth Support) are both able to offer services via video (telemedicine) as of last Friday, March 13. Supported Employment is also being offered through telemedicine. For those currently in therapy elsewhere, we encourage them to check in with their providers to see if telehealth is an option. Many therapists and organizations are in the process of making the switch to offer telehealth given the current circumstances.As of today, Community Youth Services IS accepting NEW participants that may be needing virtual care for mental health services! If you are, or know of a youth age 15 to 24 experiencing mental health or substance use disorders, as well families of youth ages 12 to 17 with disruptive behavior needing support, we ask you please call 360-918-7860, to get more information on the services now available to you.In addition to offering virtual services, as of Tuesday, March 17, CYS will be adjusting all other services in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. CYS recognizes that we are a critical resource for young people at-risk of or that are experiencing homelessness in our community and those needing behavioral health services. We are making every effort to remain accessible and available to those who need our services, while also reducing contact and the likelihood of spreading COVID-19, adhering to the Governors statewide emergency proclamation. We are committed to continuing to provide mental health services, peer support, and outreach to the extent possible. We are taking proactive measures to ensure the safety of our participants, staff, and community during this pandemic.Our office locations in Thurston, Lewis and Mason will be closed to the public beginning Tuesday, March 17, 2020 until further notice. We will reassess the situation weekly and update you via our website and other social media.Essential Services programs (Rosie’s/YAS, Haven House, New Directions) are being assessed on a daily basis and will stay open with certain precautions and changes in hours or capacity levels if needed based upon staffing wellness and availability or based on quarantine recommendations if warranted.Our street outreach staff will be conducting normal outreach Monday-Friday to provide support to vulnerable community members who are unsheltered – including delivering supplies and keeping youth up to date on safety and health recommendations. Drop -In hours at Rosie’s Place will be shifted and occupancy will be limited to meet safety standards.We will be actively seeking new information from health authorities as this public health emergency evolves, and we will update our response as needed. Please visit our website at www.communityyouthservices.org or social media sites for the most updated information about our services and hours.", "domain": "health"}

AI-powered solutions are revolutionizing medical diagnosis, treatment, and patient outcomes. This article delves into the profound impact of AI on healthcare and how it is reshaping the industry.\nEarly Disease Detection and Diagnosis\nOne of the most significant contributions of AI to healthcare is its ability to assist in early disease detection and diagnosis. Machine learning algorithms analyze vast datasets, including medical images, genomic data, and patient records, to identify patterns and anomalies that may not be discernible to the human eye. AI-driven diagnostic tools have shown remarkable accuracy in detecting conditions such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases at their earliest stages.\nPersonalized Treatment Plans\nAI is enabling healthcare providers to create personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique genetic makeup and medical history. By analyzing a patient's genetic data, AI algorithms can predict how an individual will respond to specific treatments, allowing for more effective and targeted interventions. This level of personalization is revolutionizing the field of precision medicine.\nPredictive Analytics for Better Patient Outcomes\nAI's predictive analytics capabilities are helping healthcare organizations anticipate patient needs and allocate resources more efficiently. Hospitals are using AI to forecast patient admissions, optimize staff schedules, and reduce wait times. This proactive approach improves patient satisfaction and frees up healthcare professionals to focus on delivering high-quality care.\nEnhanced Imaging and Diagnostics\nAI-powered imaging and diagnostic tools are transforming radiology and pathology. AI algorithms can analyze medical images, such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans, with incredible speed and accuracy. This not only expedites the diagnostic process but also reduces the risk of human error. Pathologists are also benefiting from AI's assistance in identifying abnormalities in tissue samples, leading to more precise diagnoses.\nVirtual Health Assistants and Telemedicine\nVirtual health assistants powered by AI are becoming integral to telemedicine. These AI-driven chatbots and virtual nurses can provide patients with real-time medical information, answer questions, and schedule appointments. Telemedicine platforms leverage AI to connect patients with healthcare providers remotely, expanding access to healthcare services, particularly in underserved areas.\nDrug Discovery and Development\nAI is accelerating drug discovery and development processes. Machine learning algorithms can analyze massive datasets to identify potential drug candidates and predict their efficacy and safety profiles. This expedites the development of new medications and reduces research and development costs, ultimately benefiting patients by bringing innovative treatments to market more quickly.\nEnhanced Electronic Health Records (EHRs)\nAI is enhancing the functionality of electronic health records (EHRs) by making them more intelligent and user-friendly. AI-driven EHR systems can assist healthcare providers in clinical decision-making, automatically generate progress notes, and flag potential errors or inconsistencies in patient records, improving the overall quality of care.\nIn conclusion, the impact of artificial intelligence on healthcare is nothing short of transformative. AI is enhancing medical diagnosis, treatment, and patient care across the board. As AI continues to evolve and become more integrated into healthcare systems, we can anticipate even more groundbreaking developments that will revolutionize the way we approach healthcare, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes and a brighter future for the industry as a whole.", "domain": "health"}

We know the feeling! With wintery weather and the abundance of warm blankets and comfort food it’s no wonder exercise is the last thing on our minds. That is until spring arrives and the summer holidays get tantalizingly closer. By then, the pressure to get fitter and healthier feels less like fun and more like a dreaded New Year’s resolution. So instead of holding out for nicer weather, why not go out there and get a head start today?\nWe’ve all heard about the benefits of regular exercise, from preventing chronic illnesses like heart disease and diabetes to improving your mood, memory, strength and flexibility. Despite this the thought of signing up for a new gym contract or committing to Pilates three times a week is a daunting prospect. Thankfully there’s a host of experts who agree starting out slowly and making small changes to our everyday habits is a better strategy than entering a marathon and hoping for the best.\nBecause the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, we’ve rounded up some of the best ways to find and keep your exercise mojo…\n- Get by with a little help from your friends\nFind a buddy who already exercises regularly and join them for a workout or two. They’ll be able to offer advice on everything from training tips to how avoid injury. Or find a friend who’s also just getting started. You’ll be able to motivate each other to keep going – especially on the days you’d rather sleep stay in bed for that extra hour.\n- Treat yourself to some gorgeous new gear\nThe old saying of fake it till you make it definitely applies here! Instead of donning that ancient tracksuit spoil yourself with some colourful fitted tees and leggings. Looking the part will make feeling the part that little bit easier.\n- Take advantage of tech\nTransform your smartphone into your very own personal coach by picking any one of the many amazing health and fitness apps on offer. You’ll be able to keep track of workouts and personal goals all while getting motivational reminders to keep at it. You could also treat yourself to a nifty new fitness watch like Fitbit, Garmin or Polar where you’ll get tons of helpful info on your heartrate and how many calories you’ve burned after each workout.\n- Write it out\nThere’s no doubt that heading out for a morning jog will sometimes feel about as fun as having root canal. To keep motivated write down how you feel after every workout and glance back at it whenever you’re feeling low on motivation.

If you commonly suffer from panic attacks, there are things that you can do to help cope with them and to avoid the overwhelming feelings. This article is filled with valuable information that may help you manage your panic attacks a little better.\nSome processed foods, and many fast food items, can actually trigger panic attacks. I won't name the company, but there is a type of fried chicken that would cause my heart to start palpitating within 30 minutes of eating it! Stick to wholesome, fresh foods you prepare yourself to avoid an attack.\nPanic attacks are terrifying because the person experiencing them has the sudden overwhelming fear that they are going to die. The important thing to remember about panic attacks is that you can control them cognitively. Your brain is taking normal everyday stimuli (a shift in the road while driving, for example), and interpreting them in a fearful way. You can course-correct this fearful interpretation by trying to recall what the source of that stimulus could be. This will reduce your fear and your panic should subside somewhat.\nAs you use a breathing technique during a panic attack, really concentrate on your breathing. Imagine the life being breathed into your body as you breathe in, and then the toxic thoughts and feelings going back out when you breathe out. Really visualize a glowing light going in and nasty dark smoke coming out.\nA useful tip for dealing with panic attacks is to change the way you live. Incorporate regular exercise into your life to eliminate extra adrenaline in the blood stream. Steer clear of smoking, drinking and processed food items, and you will stand a better chance of preventing panic attacks.\nSee if your friend can come and talk to you face to face. Doing so will help you improve your mood very fast.\nTo prevent your panic attack from worsening, avoid doing anything that might exacerbate your anxiety. For example, some people seem to think that you can be scared out of a panic attack as if it were the hiccups. In truth, putting yourself in an even more fearful situation will likely only lengthen and worsen the attack.\nWhen you start having negative thoughts that would usually lead to a panic attack, shut them down. Say NO every time one comes up and think of the complete opposite. If you fear death, think about life. If you fear failure, go do something you know that you're really good at.\nIf you are experiencing a panic attack, you can try splashing your face with cold water. This will stimulate a dive sensation in your brain which will tell your body to slow down and relax. This is an easy way to help get your body to relax a bit.\nDon't just listen to music when you're having a panic attack, get up and dance! Dance is a great way to exercise and get rid of the adrenaline absorbed by your body, ending your attack in a most enjoyable way. If you know that you get to dance when you have an attack you won't feel so scared about it!\nAfter you have read these tips, you can start seeing all of the different treatments and medications that are available to you. There is a lot of information, but with a doctor's help, you can most likely find something that can work for you. So, try applying these tips to your treatment and start feeling the panic dissipate.", "domain": "health"}

The advice from healthcare experts is to pay attention to foot pain, and when it happens, to seek help right away. In the last 20 years, adult-acquired flatfoot has become a more commonly recognized health issue. The cause is a dysfunction of the ankle tendon that attaches to the bones on the inside of your foot. The function of this posterior tibial tendon (PTT) is to maintain the foot arch and provide strength during push-off when you walk. When the PTT is not functioning correctly, you tend to lose your arch, or become more flatfooted. This problem occurs about three times more often in women than in men, especially after the age of 40. Initially, PTT dysfunction is associated with pain on the inside of the ankle, swelling and sometimes a limp. If left unchecked, the arch appears to collapse and the pain on the inside of the ankle worsens. Eventually, if left unchecked, patients will begin to feel pain on the outside of the ankle, too.\nAs the name suggests, adult-acquired flatfoot occurs once musculoskeletal maturity is reached, and it can present for a number of reasons, though one stands out among the others. While fractures, dislocations, tendon lacerations, and other such traumatic events do contribute to adult-acquired flatfoot as a significant lower extremity disorder, as mentioned above, damage to the posterior tibial tendon is most often at the heart of adult-acquired flatfoot. One study further elaborates on the matter by concluding that ?60% of patients [presenting with posterior tibial tendon damage and adult-acquired flatfoot] were obese or had diabetes mellitus, hypertension, previous surgery or trauma to the medial foot, or treatment with steroids?.\nIn many cases, adult flatfoot causes no pain or problems. In others, pain may be severe. Many people experience aching pain in the heel and arch and swelling along the inner side of the foot.\nThe adult acquired flatfoot, secondary to posterior tibial tendon dysfunction, is diagnosed in a number of ways with no single test proven to be totally reliable. The most accurate diagnosis is made by a skilled clinician utilizing observation and hands on evaluation of the foot and ankle. Observation of the foot in a walking examination is most reliable. The affected foot appears more pronated and deformed compared to the unaffected foot. Muscle testing will show a strength deficit. An easy test to perform in the office is the single foot raise. A patient is asked to step with full body weight on the symptomatic foot, keeping the unaffected foot off the ground. The patient is then instructed to \"raise up on the tip toes\" of the affected foot. If the posterior tibial tendon has been attenuated or ruptured, the patient will be unable to lift the heel off the floor and rise onto the toes. In less severe cases, the patient will be able to rise on the toes, but the heel will not be noted to invert as it normally does when we rise onto the toes. X-rays can be helpful but are not diagnostic of the adult acquired flatfoot. Both feet - the symptomatic and asymptomatic - will demonstrate a flatfoot deformity on x-ray. Careful observation may show a greater severity of deformity on the affected side.\nNon surgical Treatment\nConservative (nonoperative) care is advised at first. A simple modification to your shoe may be all that???s needed. Sometimes purchasing shoes with a good arch support is sufficient. For other patients, an off-the-shelf (prefabricated) shoe insert works well. The orthotic is designed specifically to position your foot in good alignment. Like the shoe insert, the orthotic fits inside the shoe. These work well for mild deformity or symptoms. Over-the-counter pain relievers or antiinflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen may be helpful. If symptoms are very severe, a removable boot or cast may be used to rest, support, and stabilize the foot and ankle while still allowing function. Patients with longer duration of symptoms or greater deformity may need a customized brace. The brace provides support and limits ankle motion. After several months, the brace is replaced with a foot orthotic. A physical therapy program of exercise to stretch and strengthen the foot and leg muscles is important. The therapist will also show you how to improve motor control and proprioception (joint sense of position). These added features help prevent and reduce injuries.\nIf conservative treatment fails surgical intervention is offered. For a Stage 1 deformity a posterior tibial tendon tenosynovectomy (debridement of the tendon) or primary repair may be indicated. For Stage 2 a combination of Achilles lengthening with bone cuts, calcaneal osteotomies, and tendon transfers is common. Stage 2 flexible PTTD is the most common stage patients present with for treatment. In Stage 3 or 4 PTTD isolated fusions, locking two or more joints together, maybe indicated. All treatment is dependent on the stage and severity at presentation with the goals and activity levels of the patient in mind. Treatment is customized to the individual patient needs.", "domain": "health"}

I underwent this surgery just last year after thinking long and hard about the decision for almost 18 months. As it turned out, I was absolutely over the moon with my procedure and the results and it has left me feeling far more confident and much happier in myself. The breast augmentation OC offers, at least in terms of options, is incredible and it can be difficult to pick the right clinic, after researching heavily, I finally found a clinic which made me feel comfortable, and who could deliver the results that I was looking for.\nAside from picking the right clinic, here is some important information which you need to know if you are planning cosmetic surgery.\nThis is a cosmetic surgery procedure which is for women who wish to enhance the size of their breasts, reduce the size of their breasts or for women with mis-shaped breast or sagging breasts as a result of age, sudden weight loss or pregnancy.\nIn terms of you being a solid candidate for breast augmentation surgery, you need to be a person in good health, both physically and mentally, you cannot have the procedure done if you are pregnant or breastfeeding and finally that your breasts are fully developed.\nHow Much Does It Cost?\nNaturally this is something that will change from surgeon to surgeon but the average cost of breast augmentation surgery is $3,719. The difference in terms of price which you may see, is because of a number of factors such as skill level of the surgeon and their experience, geographical location and sometimes going to a chain of clinics could also come with higher costs.\nIs It Safe?\nThe idea of cutting your breast open and inserting a foreign object may sound scary but this is an incredibly safe procedure which is carried out thousands of times each year. Techniques and research advancements have meant that not only is the procedure itself very safe, but so too are the implants which are placed inside the breast tissue.\nWhat Recovery to Expect\nAfter the procedure you may feel some slight pain in the breast area, you will be sent home with a gauze dressing and a stretchy bandage. The recovery time after breast augmentation surgery is actually very quick, with many women returning to work just a few days after the operation. You may be prescribed pain meds, and the recommendation is that you avoid lifting or carrying and over-exertion.\nWhilst many clinics will offer this procedure, it is still important that you find the right clinic for you. This is just as much about finding the clinic which you feel comfortable with, as it is about you finding the best price, and the best surgeon. Expect to spend a lot of time researching the best place for you.", "domain": "health"}

Barton Grossman M.D. at the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center stated, “This study confirms the prior BladderChek investigation published in JAMA early last year— NMP22 BladderChek combined with cystoscopy detects significantly more cancers than cystoscopy alone. Because bladder cancer has a very high recurrence rate, we need to monitor patients vigilantly. Adding the NMP22 test to routine monitoring provides an extra measure of confidence. This test has important advantages over other methods: it provides results while the patient is at the doctor’s office and as a molecular marker it can detect cancers that might be missed visually without requiring intact cells. No other test is FDA approved for both diagnosis and monitoring that can be used during a patient visit and costs less than cytology.”\nWhen used in combination with cystoscopy, a visual examination of the bladder, the NMP22 BladderChek test detected 99% of bladder malignancies compared to 91% for cystoscopy alone. The BladderChek test was positive for 8 of 9 cancers not seen by cystoscopy, including seven tumors that were aggressive or advanced. The BladderChek test also detected four times as many cancers as the commonly used laboratory based urine cytology test.\nThe authors of the study, who include clinical investigators at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, the University of Miami School of Medicine, the University of Rochester Medical Center, Rhode Island Hospital, and community based clinicians, recommended using the NMP22 BladderChek® Test in the routine monitoring and management of bladder cancer patients. They noted that it is an inexpensive and a cost-effective tool, proven to detect significantly more cancers than urine cytology, and at half the cost. When combined with cystoscopy the NMP22® test improves the detection of cancer. Unlike all cell-based urine tests it does not require laboratory time and facilities and expert analysis. This point-of-care test provides unambiguous results during a patient’s visit.\n“NMP22® BladderChek® Test is an important tool for doctors—early detection of bladder cancers, both initial and recurrent, improves treatment options and patient outcome,” said Edward Messing M. D., Chairman of the Urology Department at the University of Rochester Medical Center. “Delay of diagnosis of an aggressive bladder cancer even by a few months can affect prognosis. The AUA guidelines for evaluation of patients with blood in the urine recommend using a urine test as back up to cystoscopy. We use the NMP22 test in our practice, and will include it in an upcoming National Cancer Institute (NCI) study for monitoring bladder cancer recurrence after treatment.”\nBladder cancer has the highest rate of recurrence of any malignancy, with the cancer recurring in 50% to 90% of patients, depending on the aggressiveness and extent of the initial tumor. Patients are rigorously monitored throughout their lives for new malignancies. A combination of methods is used to monitor patients since no single method is 100% accurate in detecting the cancer.\nThe prevalence of bladder cancer in the United States is higher than lung cancer; and its prevalence in women is similar to the number of women with cervical and ovarian cancers. Currently there are 500,000 Americans with a history of bladder cancer.\nDeveloped and commercialized by Matritech (Amex: MZT), a leading developer of protein-based diagnostic products for the early detection of cancer, the NMP22 BladderChek Test is the only noninvasive point-of-care assay approved by the FDA as an aid in both the initial diagnosis and monitoring of bladder cancer. Using only four drops of urine, the test detects elevated levels of the nuclear matrix protein NMP22 and results are available during the patient visit.\n“Bladder cancer is the second most common urologic malignancy in the U.S. after prostate cancer,” notes investigator and author Mark Soloway M.D., Chairman, Department of Urology at the University of Miami School of Medicine. “We have made dramatic changes with the use of PSA, an early detection program, and tremendous public awareness. Unfortunately, we have not done the same with bladder cancer. One quarter of all bladder malignancies are still first diagnosed after they have become invasive, so treatment is more difficult and prognosis is worse. This hasn’t changed in 20 years. The NMP22 BladderChek test is an important step forward. Not only has it been demonstrated in two large studies to improve detection of new and recurrent cancers, it provides an easy and inexpensive way for primary care doctors to screen patients we know are at higher risk for bladder cancer: people who smoke, are exposed to chemicals or have blood in their urine.”\nBecause of the high recurrence rate of bladder cancer, patients who have had the disease are typically evaluated for new tumors every three months for the first two years after surgery, twice a year for the next two years, and yearly after that, until a recurrence is diagnosed, at which point monitoring resumes at three month intervals. Early detection is key to extending and providing quality of life for patients, and reducing treatment costs. The five year survival rate is 94% for patients diagnosed with early stage, or noninvasive cancer, while patients with metastatic or advanced stages of the disease have as low as a 6% chance of surviving five years.\n“I was diagnosed with bladder cancer ten years ago,” said Sylvia Ramsey, a professor at the Georgia Military Community College-Augusta, GA, and a leading bladder cancer patient advocate. “But, for a year, I was told I only had a bladder infection. Finally, I was referred to a urologist.” Professor Ramsey added, “Each day I am grateful that I am one of the lucky ones. Even though I am cancer free, it is a constant and vigilant process to make sure I stay that way. My urologist and I have a regular set of appointments to keep monitoring me. Ten years ago there was no BladderChek® Test. Today, what a difference! When I speak or write about bladder cancer, I urge people at risk for this cancer to be aware of its symptoms and ask their doctor about being tested. Now with the BladderChek Test, hopefully, the bladder infection that is really cancer will be found earlier.”\nBladder cancer has the highest cost per patient of all cancers from diagnosis to death, with estimated annual direct costs of bladder cancer management at $4 billion. Because of the frequent recurrences and need for rigorous monitoring, this cost per patient from diagnosis to death, ranges from $96,000 - $187,000. The average Medicare reimbursement for urine cytology is approximately $56, and $24 for the NMP22 point-of-care assay. Using these costs, the estimated savings to the medical system would be $16 million per year for one monitoring visit for each of the current 500,000 patients with a history of bladder cancer using the NMP22 test instead of cytology. Actual savings would be higher since people with a history of bladder cancer often have more than one monitoring evaluation annually.\nThe direct cost of treatment for patients with metastatic genitourinary cancer has been estimated to be more than six times greater than for those patients with localized disease for the same period of time. The challenge, therefore, is to improve detection of bladder cancer without increasing discomfort or cost to the patient.\nCosts of detecting a case of bladder cancer using the BladderChek test have been estimated to be $2,625. This cost is comparable to accepted cancer screening tests such as mammography, PSA, and colonoscopy. For women undergoing mammography screening, the cost per breast cancer detected can be as high as $14,000. Prostate cancer screening with PSA leads to costs of nearly $3,000 per cancer detected; colorectal cancer screening has a broader range of $2,000-$5,000 per cancer detected.\nAbout the Study\nThe study included 668 patients with a history of bladder cancer and was conducted at 23 clinical sites in nine states, including academic, private practice and veterans’ facilities. The study was designed to investigate whether the NMP22 point-of-care test could improve detection of recurrence of a bladder malignancy in the routine monitoring of patients with a prior history of bladder cancer. Patients provided a urine sample for analysis of NMP22 protein and cytology prior to cystoscopy. Testing for the NMP22 tumor marker was conducted in a blinded manner.\nAbout the NMP22® BladderChek® Test\nThe NMP22® BladderChek® Test was developed and commercialized by Matritech, a leading developer of protein-based diagnostic products for the early detection of cancer. In June 2005 the Company announced that more than 600,000 BladderChek® Tests had been sold and Matritech expects to reach a cumulative one million units sold by early 2006. In May, 2005 the NMP22®\nBladderChek® Test was featured in a number of platform presentations at the 100th annual meeting of the American Urological Association (AUA); these included clinical trial results and a cost impact analysis that demonstrated the costs of detecting a case of bladder cancer using the BladderChek® Test are similar or less than currently accepted cancer screening methods such as mammography, PSA, and colonoscopy. Additionally, the NMP22® BladderChek® Test was part of the curriculum in an AUA sponsored CME course on bladder cancer based on information presented at the annual meeting.\nThe NMP22® BladderChek® Test detects elevated levels of the NMP22 protein in a single urine sample. Most healthy individuals have very small amounts of the NMP22 protein in their urine, but bladder cancer patients commonly have elevated NMP22 protein levels, even at early stages of the disease. The NMP22® BladderChek® Test, a painless and non-invasive assay, is the only in-office test approved by the FDA for the diagnosis of bladder cancer. The BladderChek® Test, which is reimbursed by Medicare and other medical insurers, is more cost effective than cell-based laboratory cytology tests. It is approved for use in a physician’s office with results available during the patient visit, allowing a rapid, accurate and cost-effective way to aid in the detection of bladder cancer. NMP22® Tests have been approved by the FDA four times for two formats and claims, most recently in April 2003 for point-of-care use for diagnosis.\nAbout Bladder Cancer\nBladder cancer is the fifth most common malignancy in the United States. There are over 500,000 people in the U.S. who have had bladder cancer, making it more prevalent in the population than lung and bronchial cancers. The American Cancer Society estimates that over 63,000 new cases of bladder cancer were diagnosed in the United States in 2005 (over 47,000 men and 16,000 women), and over 13,000 people died of the disease (nearly 9,000 men and 4,000 women). Worldwide it accounts for 330,000 new cases and 100,000 deaths each year. It is also one of the most chronic cancers, recurring in almost 70% of patients. The most common symptom of bladder cancer is blood in the urine, a condition referred to as hematuria.\nBladder cancer is diagnosed primarily in men age 60 and older (it does occur at younger ages) and roughly twice as frequently in white men as in black men. Men are three times more likely to be diagnosed with bladder cancer than women, but a greater percentage of women are diagnosed at an invasive stage of the malignancy. Among U.S. males, the incidence of new bladder cancer cases is almost as large as the incidence of colon cancer.\nThe most common risk factor for bladder cancer is smoking. Smokers are more than twice as likely to develop bladder cancer as nonsmokers. In the United States, smoking is estimated to be associated with about 50% of bladder cancer deaths among men and 30% among women.\nOccupational exposures to chemicals (aromatic amines) used in dry cleaning facilities and the production of dyes, paper, rope, apparel, rubber and petroleum products have been associated with increased risk for bladder cancer. Other industrial exposures implicated as risk factors for developing bladder cancer include combustion gases and soot from coal, chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, and chlorination by-products in heated water.\nIf diagnosed in its early stages, bladder cancer has a five-year survival rate of 94%. If diagnosed at an advanced stage, however, the five-year survival rate can be less than 10%. It has been estimated that this year in the United States about 25% of bladder cancer patients will be diagnosed after their disease has become invasive or metastatic, significantly lowering the five year survival rate.\nAmong U.S. women, according to the most recent SEER data, the prevalence of bladder cancer (140,000) is similar to the number of women with cervical (184,000) and ovarian (159,000) cancers. The five year survival rate of women is less than the ten year survival rate of men. Diagnosis in women may be delayed because symptoms are misinterpreted or attributed to other causes. This delay is correlated with a disproportionately higher death rate among women. In 2005 women accounted for one in four new bladder cancer diagnoses, but one in three bladder cancer deaths.", "domain": "health"}

This X-linked disorder represents the majority of the inherited deficiencies of clotting factors, occurring in approximately one per 5,000 male births, without racial predilection.  Based on the residual endogenous FVIII concentration HA is classified into three classes (Table 1).\nTable 1 Haemophilia classification \n|Severe||< 1 % of the norm|\n(< 0.01 IU/mL)\n|Spontaneous bleeding in joints, muscles or gastrointestinal tract|\n|Moderate||≥ 1 to 5 % of the norm|\n(≥ 0.01 to 0.05 IU/mL)\n|Rare spontaneous bleeding in joints, mostly bleeding after trauma|\n|Mild||≥ 5 to 40% of the norm|\n(≥ 0.05 to 0.40 IU/mL)\nBleeding after injury or surgery, rare bleeding tendency in daily routine\nAlthough the bleeding phenotype may be rather heterogeneous, even in severe haemophiliacs, this classification reflects the severity of clinical symptoms, with spontaneous joint and muscle bleeds being largely confined to patients with severe haemophilia. \nThe treatment of HA patients has changed over the decades and brought improvements for those affected. In recent years, (recombinant) FVIII concentrates were the drug of choice; now, with emicizumab, a new generation of HA medication has emerged.\nEmicizumab is a humanised, modified, monoclonal immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) antibody with a bispecific antibody structure. It substitutes for part of the cofactor function of activated factor VIII (FVIIIa) by bridging activated factor IX (FIXa) and factor X (FX) to restore effective haemostasis in HA individuals. It is indicated for routine prophylaxis to prevent or reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes in adults and children of all ages (neonates and older), with and without FVIII inhibitors. The drug has no structural relationship or sequence homology to FVIII, so does not trigger or enhance the development of direct FVIII inhibitors. [4, 5]\nManaging emicizumab in clinical practice\nAfter an initial weekly dose of the drug over a period of four weeks, the treatment regimen may be changed to a maintenance dose every two or four weeks.  Although emicizumab reduces the frequency of bleeds significantly, bleeding episodes persist under certain conditions, and this may require additional haemostatic treatment with bypassing agents such as activated prothrombin complex concentrate (aPCC, FEIBA®, Shire, Dublin, Ireland), recombinant FVIIa (rFVIIa, Novoseven®, Novo Nordisk, Bagsværd, Denmark), or the substitution of (recombinant) FVIII concentrates. Combined treatment of emicizumab with aPCC has been associated with thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), venous thrombosis and skin necrosis.  To date, no comparable side effects with co-administration of emicizumab and rFVIIa or FVIII concentrates have been observed. But the mechanism that causes TMA and skin necrosis is unclear, and parallel treatment with bypassing agents should be considered carefully or preferably stopped 24 hours before emicizumab is started. \nAnti-drug antibody (ADA) formation is commonly observed (e.g. with monoclonal antibodies) and the presence of ADA may alter the pharmacokinetics (PK) and/or pharmacodynamics (PD) and can affect drug efficacy as well as patient safety. During certain clinical studies (e.g. HAVEN 1-4), but also during first routine use, several cases of ADA-positive patients were reported. Even though most of the ADA were transient, few of the ADA were classified as having neutralising potential, which lead to the treatment being discontinued because of the loss of its efficacy. \nRegular monitoring of HA individuals under emicizumab treatment is not needed.  However, the drug has a long half-life, so the treatment recommendations described in guiding documents should be observed for six months after stopping the drug.  This may require additional drug monitoring by lab tests after drug administration has been ended.\nManaging emicizumab in laboratory practice\nThe requirements for a laboratory to test the drug activity are challenging. Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) or activated clotting time (ACT) present overly shortened clotting times with emicizumab, which does not require activation by thrombin. One-stage APTT-based FVIII assays show normal or strongly elevated results in HA individuals receiving emicizumab. [4, 9] However, this may be overcome by calibrating the assay with a commercially available emicizumab calibrator in a modified FVIII clotting assay. \nA suitable alternative to APTT-based factor assays might be single factor assays utilising chromogenic or immuno-based methods to monitor the coagulation parameters during treatment. FVIII chromogenic assays are manufactured with either human or bovine coagulation proteins. However, both types respond differently to emicizumab.\nSince FVIII chromogenic assays with coagulation factors of human origin, e.g. BIOPHEN™ Factor VIII:C (HYPHEN BioMed (a Sysmex Group company), Neuville-sur-Oise, France), are responsive to emicizumab, this assay type is at present the only one to be used for determining the emicizumab concentration. However, results must be considered carefully, as this assay type may overestimate the clinical haemostatic potential of the drug, specifically when measuring endogenous or infused FVIII activity in the presence of emicizumab. [4, 11]\nOn the other hand, FVIII chromogenic assays with coagulation factors of bovine origin, e.g. SIEMENS Factor VIII Chromogenic Assay (SIEMENS Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany), are unresponsive to emicizumab and may be used to assay endogenous or infused FVIII activity in case of combined therapy with FVIII concentrates. [4, 12] Because emicizumab remains active in the presence of FVIII inhibitors and produces false negative results in clot-based Bethesda tests, bovine-based FVIII chromogenic assays may be used for patients with inhibitors against FVIII, too.  Alternatively, a modified BIOPHEN™ FVIII:C assay, in which human FX is replaced with a bovine FX, can be used. \nFor the time being, there are no commercially available assays for the determination of ADA against emicizumab. Nevertheless, besides the determination of the emicizumab concentration using FVIII chromogenic assays with coagulation factors of human origin, APTT assays and/or one-stage APTT-based assays might provide evidence of the presence of ADA. While evaluating a reported loss of efficacy due to ADA, a prolonged conventional APTT assay and/or a low clot-based FVIII activity in an individual treated with emicizumab is an indicator for the presence of a neutralising ADA directed against emicizumab. \nTable 2 summarises the available HA assays and their usability in HA patients under emicizumab treatment. Table 3 summarises the effects of emicizumab on other assays.\nTable 2 Usability of haemophilia A assays in individuals treated with emicizumab [4, 10]\nSuggested use in individuals treated with emicizumab\nOne-stage APTT-based FVIII assay\nAPTT-based Bethesda assays\nActivated clotting time (ACT)\nFVIII chromogenic assay, bovine origin\nFVIII chromogenic assay, human origin\nImmuno-based FVIII assays\nTable 3 Effect of emicizumab on other assays [10, 11]\nEffect on results\nOne-stage APTT-based factor IX assay\nFactor IX chromogenic assay\nOne-stage APTT-based factor XI assay\nOne-stage APTT-based factor XII assay\nProtein C (clotting) assay\nProtein C chromogenic assay\nProtein S (clotting) assay\nFree-Protein S antigen assay\nOne-stage PT-based factor II assay\nOne-stage PT-based factor V assay\nOne-stage PT-based factor VII assay\nOne-stage PT-based factor X assay\nFXIII chromogenic assays\nAnti-Xa activity assays\nPlasminogen activity and antigen assays\nvWF activity and antigen assays\n↑↑ Severe overestimation\n- Not influenced\n↓↓ Severe underestimation\n Mannucci PM, Tuddenham EG.

Many people will try to treat constipation on their own with home or over the counter remedies.\nWhat do you do when those won’t cut it?\nThere are new options for patients who seek relief from chronic constipation. Since Trulance and Linzess both are prescription only, you will have to talk to your doctor. Which one should you ask for depends on a few key factors.\nWhat are they used for?\nTrulance and Linzess are used to treat two different types of constipation called chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) and constipation from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C).\nChronic idiopathic constipation simply means they don’t know what causes you to have constipation, but it occurs frequently.\nConstipation from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C) is caused by the immune disease IBS. Most people will have diarrhea from IBS, but for some constipation occurs too.\nAccording to the American College of Gastroenterology, it is estimated that 10-15 percent of the U.S. adult population suffers from some form of IBS. However, the number of patients who have been diagnosed is far smaller at 5-7 percent.\nThings to remember before you try either drug\n#1 There might be other reasons for the constipation\nCIC means chronic idiopathic constipation. The word idiopathic is medical jargan for don’t know the cause. Many people have idiopathic constipation, but many also have a known reason for the constipation.\nMedications can cause constipation. Opiods or drugs used to treat pain are the primary culprit, but there are many other drugs that can cause to constipation. Tell your doctor if you take an opiod as they may want to use an entirely different drug than either Linzess or Trulance.\nAny medication that can dehydrate you can also cause constipation. That would include diuretics often prescribed for high blood pressure. Many other drugs called anticholernergics can also lead to constipation and there are used to treat a wide array of health issues. Make sure you review your medication list with your doctor and pharmacist before starting any new drug treatment for constipation.\nDisease states can also cause constipation. Neurologic diseases can damage the nerves in your digestive tract. Polyps and tumors can lead to blockages causing constipation. Make sure you rule out any of these types of causes before you decide to ask for a very expensive medication to treat constipation.\n#2 Look at your diet and lifestyle\nConstipation can be down right uncomfortable. If left go long enough it can become dangerous. If you are prone to bouts of constipation you need to look at your lifestyle.\nThere are two very important things to remember if chronic constipation is an issue for you.\n- Drink plenty of water.\nExperts recommend drinking 100 ounces of water per day. Many people would have constipation concerns resolved if they followed that simple recommendation.\n2. Stay active\nA moderate level of activity is also going to help your digestive tract to continue to push the food through the system. Your intestines are a very long system for absorbing things we need from the food we eat. Moving around helps push food through that system so that you are not only relying on the walls of your intestines to do all the work.\n#3 Try more cost effective over the counter options\nOver the counter laxatives can be an effective way to treat occasional constipation. This is especially true when you pair them with increased activity and more water consumption.\nLaxatives work in three ways\n- Stimulate the muscles in your bowel to move faster\n- Increase the amount of fluid that enters the bowel\n- Increase the bulk of the stool by absorbing water into the stool\nStimulant laxatives include: bisacodyl, senna\nOsmotic laxatives include: polyethelene glycol, magnesium citrate\nBulk forming laxatives include: psyllium, methylcellulose\nBulk forming laxatives are products thathave fiber in them and they are safe for use on a regular basis.\nOsmotic laxatives are good at getting fluid into the stool, but could cause electrolyte imbalances if used daily. Stimulant laxatives are powerful in the effect they have on bowel wall muscle. If used repeatedly the bowel can become dependent on them. Therefore you should not use these types more than a few times per week.\n#4 Both are expensive, which is better?\nTrulance and Linzess both work in the same way in your body. They are called guanylate cyclase-C agonists. These drugs cause water to be pulled into your intestines which helps to relieve the constipation.\nBoth drugs can cause diarrhea to occur due to the nature of how the cure constipation, so it is important to know what your doctor wants you to do if that happens to you.\nTrulance is the brand product that is available for sale today. The chemical name of Trulance is plecanatide. Trulance was approved by the FDA in 2017 and that means no generic is available at this time.\nTrulance comes in one strengths as a 3mg tablet. The good news is you only have to take it once daily and it can be taken with or without food.\nImprovements in the number of bowel movements per week are usually seen within the first week.\nLinzess is also a brand only product. The chemical name of Linzess is linaclotide. It was approved by the FDA in 2012 and has no available generic. However, a generic manufacturer has applied for a patent to make a generic. After some court proceedings that action has been delayed until 2030! For more information on Linzess see 9 best tips on Linzess cost and generic availability.\nLinzess comes in different strengths and is dosed based on the condition and severity. It comes as capsules that are available as 72mcg, 145mcg and 290mcg strengths.\nLinzess must be take on an empty stomach 30 minutes before a meal.\nCommon side effects of both drugs:\n- Abdominal pain\n- Sinus or upper respiratory infection\nLinzess has also been known to cause heartburn, vomiting and headache.\nTrulance has been shown to increase some liver function tests.\nHow do I choose which one is right for me?\nBoth drugs have been proven to be effective.\nIn the clinical trials submitted to the FDA for Trulance, it was found to be effective. In those taking Trulance, 21% responded vs only 11% for the placebo. The numbers for the Linzess trials were almost identical. Both seem to increase the number of bowel movements by about 1.5 times each week.\nKeep in mind that the over the counter laxatives are also effective and are likely to produce an similar increase in bowel movements per week. No direct studies between Trunlance or Linzess and the laxatives have been done at this point in time.\nNo single medication is effective for every patient. Even if you tried and failed one of the drugs it does not mean the other drug might not work for you.\nIt would be wonderful if a clinical trial was done comparing the two drugs head to head, but that isnt likely to happen due to the risk for the manufacturer who has the inferior product.\n#5 Competition and misleading infromation\nThe pharmaceutical companies that make these drugs are in extreme competition for market share. There is a lot of advertising on television direct to patients about these drugs and they want to convince you their drug is better.\nYou may find things on the internet about these drugs that are misleading. If you see things stating there are clear advantages of one over the other, be wary of the source.\n#6 Which drug is on formulary?\nIf you have health insurance that covers prescription drugs, then checking your formulary before you even talk to your doctor is a must. Since both drugs are in the same class and work the same, your insurer will have one that is on formulary and one that is not, or less preferred.\nThat can be a huge issue for you if you get the pharmacy to find the doctor wrote for the drug that is not on your formulary. You will quickly learn how expensive these medications are.\nFormulary status of a drug can change at any point. Also, keep in mind that just because the drug might be covered by the formulary it might not be preferred. The more preferred the drug is the less you pay out of pocket.\nIt is definitely worth your time to look at the website for you health plan or call the number on your prescription drug card to determine what is the most preferred option for you. It can save you big time in the long run.\nOnce you decide you want to take the plunge and try either Trulance or Linzess, you will want to check on samples. Both drugs are brand name and therefore your doctor should have samples.\nTry samples for a trial period to see if it works so you can avoid paying for a prescription if you don’t like that drug. Check out top 5 reasons to bullet journal medication effects to see how you can determine if the drug works while you have samples.\n#6 Cash price\nAccording to GoodRx, the cash price for these drugs are listed below.\nTrulance 3mg 30 tablets\nLinzess 72mcg, 145mcg and 290mcg 30 capsules of any strength\nIf you are not wanting to pay over $400 for a months supply then I recommend you check out the points below.\n#7 Patient Assistance Programs (PAP’s)\nMost people do not realize that assistance is available for free through many foundations for medication. Both Trulance and Linzess have a PAP program.\nYour doctor will have to fill out paperwork for you to qualify for this assistance. If you are approved it could save you thousands of dollars as the medication is provided to you at no cost.\nTrulance only offers the patient assistance for those who are uninsured. However, those on Medicare Part D are eligible.\nLinzess provides assistance for Medicare Part D if they have been denied or are ineligible for a low income subsidy. They also say that other insured patient should contact the program for details.\nDetails on both programs can be found at Needymeds.org. Along with patient assistance programs they have money saving options for patients on many items such as medical supplies, medical transportation, etc.\n#8 Copay coupon card\nBoth manufacturers offer copay coupons to help offset the cost of the drug. Keep in mind Medicare, Medicaid or other federal or state health plan patients are not allowed to use copay coupon cards!\nLinzess costs around $442 cash price for a 30 day supply. The Linzess Savings program could get your copay down to $30. In fact, they also offer a 90 day supply for as little as $30 option also.\nYou have to register for a savings card like the one pictured above and if you are eligible you can get a new card right away.\nThe Trulance card provides up to a 90 day supply for no more than $25. If you enroll in the mobile savings to go program, the manufacturer will provide you the coupon on your mobile phone. In addition, they will send you texts to let you know when the prescription is ready at the pharmacy.\nYou can obtain a card via your mobile phone, email or print one out here.\n#9 Check with insurance before using a copay coupon card\nThe coupon cards will not allow you to get the drug at this price forever! They will have maximum amount it will pay and then you will be stuck with the high copay after that point. This is why I recommend trying other steps before the manufacturer coupon card.\nIf you have a high deductible health plan (HDHP) you may have another problem. While this copay card is paying if your insurance has a copay accumulator program then the amount paid by the coupon will not count toward your deductible.\nA copay accumulator is a fancy way to say they do not count the coupon toward your deductible, see the example below.\nYour deductable is $1500, the card pays $200 per month while you pay $50 for six months.\n$200 x 6 month = $1200 from copay coupon card\n$50 x 6 months = $300 from you paying copay\n$1200 + $300 = $1500\nYou might think your deductible has been met, however with a copay accumulator you would still owe $1200!\n$1500 deductible minus $300 you actually paid, which is $1200.\nWhat was your experience?\nPlease comment below if you have tired either Trulance or Linzess.

The Partnership at Drugfree.org and The Treatment Research Institute (TRI) today announced the launch of a new, interactive web resource for parents and caregivers to help inform them about one of those negative consequences: parents’ legal liabilities if they serve alcohol to teens.\nRecognizing the value, particularly at prom and graduation season, of giving parents and caregivers free access to this important information, “Underage Drinking In The Home,” provides a state-by-state outline of the legal liabilities for adults who serve alcohol to minors. This new resource was created as part of the Parents Translational Research Center, a collaboration between The Treatment Research Institute and The Partnership at Drugfree.org, and the first ever National Institutes of Health-funded initiative focused on developing research-based resources for parents around issues of adolescent substance use/abuse.\nUnfortunately, many parents subscribe to common myths and misperceptions related to underage drinking:\nMyth: Some parents think that providing alcohol to teens at home decreases the risk for continued drinking as teens get older, and subsequent drinking problems later in life. Truth: The opposite is true – parents should be aware that supplying alcohol to minors actually increases, rather than decreases the risk for continued drinking in the teenage years and leads to subsequent problem drinking later in life.\nMyth: Young people from European cultures whose parents give them alcohol at an early age learn to drink more responsibly than their American counterparts. Truth: A greater percentage of European youth report drinking regularly (in the past 30 days) versus American youth, and for a majority of European countries, a greater percentage of young people report having been intoxicated before the age of 13 than is the case in the U.S. The World Health Organization cites global longitudinal studies that found the earlier young people start drinking, the more likely they are to experience alcohol-related injury and alcohol dependence later in life.\nMyth: Some parents believe that being ‘too strict’ about adolescent drinking during high school will cause teens to drink more when they first leave the home and do not have as much parental oversight. Truth: New research from The Partnership Attitude Tracking Study (PATS) reveals that teens who perceive their parents to be more permissive about alcohol use are MORE likely to abuse alcohol and to use other drugs.\nMyth: Parents who serve alcohol to teenagers at home are under no legal jeopardy. Truth: A majority of states have civil and or criminal penalties for adults who serve alcohol to underage kids at home.\nNew Web Resource Helps Educate Parents on State-By-State Liabilities of Providing Alcohol to Teens\nThe new resource, which can be found at socialhost.drugfree.org features an interactive map of the United States and explains each state’s “social hosting” laws in detail, while outlining the civil and criminal penalties for adults who serve alcohol to minors. For the purposes of this tool, social hosting was interpreted as broadly as possible: defined as “when an individual over the legal age (18 or 21) serves, furnishes or permits the possession or consumption of alcohol to a person underage (generally 20 years or younger) on property for which s/he has responsibility.”\nThe launch of the resource comes amid prom and graduation season, already underway across the country, and a time when many parents will face the decision of whether or not to allow underage teens to drink alcohol in their homes.\nUnderage drinking continues to be a pervasive problem among American youth. According to the latest Monitoring The Future study of 8th, 10th and 12th graders:\n- Nearly half of teens (44 percent) have consumed alcohol within the past year, while more than one in four teens (26 percent) reports having been drunk in the past year.\n- More than a quarter of teens (26 percent) said they had consumed alcohol within the past month, while more than one in seven (15 percent) reported being drunk in the past month.\n- One in seven teens (14 percent) said they have had five or more drinks in a row within the past 2 weeks.\n- More than three-quarters of 10th graders (78 percent) say it is fairly or very easy to get alcohol if they want some and more than half of 8th graders (58 percent) say the same.\nLeaders in the Treatment of Substance Abuse and Addiction, Parents and Coaches Weigh in on Underage Drinking:\n“Adolescence is a time of growth and great potential but it is also a time of risk-taking and experimentation with drugs and alcohol, which can quickly get out of hand. At no other time in human development is the risk for developing a substance use disorder so high. As parents help their children navigate the often tricky waters of this developmental period, especially regarding substance use and its potentially devastating consequences, being armed with accurate information is their best line of defense. Our goal through this collaboration, and the development of this tool and others like it, is to provide critical, research-based information to parents about the realities, liabilities and potential consequences of adolescent substance use.” – Kathleen Meyers, PhD, Senior Scientist at the Treatment Research Institute.\n“Childhood drinking is foremost a health issue. Many well-intentioned parents think that supplying alcohol for their child to drink at home may teach them how to ‘drink responsibly’ and might prevent them from drinking elsewhere. But the truth is that early consumption of alcohol in any context increases the likelihood of harmful effects in the long run. What’s more, studies have shown that when parents supply alcohol to their kids, it actually increases the risk for continued consumption during childhood and lifetime problem drinking. Drinking in the home does not prevent children from drinking outside the home or with their friends.” – Steve Pasierb, President and CEO of The Partnership at Drugfree.org.\n“As someone, but especially as a mom, in recovery from alcohol abuse, I know firsthand that drinking at an early age can have some pretty serious consequences. There really is no safe way for teenagers and underage kids to drink alcohol. Parents – even well-intentioned parents – who allow kids to do so in their homes are under the false sense of security that it’s less dangerous. But there’s more harm than good in their actions.” – Melissa Gilbert, actress, bestselling author and spokesperson for The Partnership at Drugfree.org.\n“MADD knows from previous research that parents are the number one influence on their children’s decisions about alcohol, so it’s imperative that we as parents have frequent conversations with our kids about the dangers of underage drinking. Parents need to clearly define their expectations about not drinking alcohol before age 21, and then be consistent by never providing alcohol to someone who is underage.” – Jan Withers, National President of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). MADD is a nonprofit that works to protect families from drunk driving and underage drinking.\n“As a parent and coach, I have personally seen the effects of underage drinking and how it has impacted players in their performance – often as a result of families turning a blind eye or allowing players to consume alcohol at an early age. The effort to counsel young athletes on the physical and mental impacts of alcohol is challenging when they go home to face non-supportive parents. All athletes, including teen athletes face personal challenges, but our goal is to captivate them through sports, hopefully enough, to help them better understand and avert their various detractions.” – Ed Spencer, Teen Recreation Director for mid-size community in New Jersey, member of the board of Education, AAU basketball coach and father.\nIf you or someone you know is struggling with drug or alcohol abuse, please call the Parents Toll-Free Helpline at 1-855-DRUGFREE.

If so then you should consider Alpha Dermatology. It’s easily one of the leading dermatology practices in South-East Pennsylvania. Fun Fact: The human body has about 35 billion skin cells. If you’re looking for a dermatologist in the region it can be tough to sort through them. The good news is Alpha is easily one of the best options when looking for skin care services. This can help to deal with skin issues from cosmetics to cancer. This can help to protect the body’s first line of defense against various factors.\nIt can be difficult to sort through the various options when picking a dermatology practice. For example, there are 7,800+ dermatology practices throughout the USA or about 155 per state. It can sometimes be tough to sort through the various options and pick the right one for your wants and needs. When picking a dermatology practice there are various factors to consider. They include the doctors’ experience, services offered, and insurance carriers. These issues can help you pick the right option to provide the best results whether you want a Botox injection or skin cancer screening. Alpha can offer such services.\nWhat Exactly Is Dermatology?\nThis is a branch of medicine that deals with skin conditions and other related body parts like hair and sweat glands. There are different branches of dermatology related to skin conditions, cosmetic procedures, the immune system, and so on. In fact, there’s even an area of dermatology that focuses on the effects of the immune system on skin health.\nStatistics show that many people visit a dermatologist at least once during their lives. During teen/young adult years the main skin-related problem people deal with is acne. While older adults can also have acne it’s most common among younger people. In some cases, people have severe cases of acne that might require treatments to deal with the conditions.\nOther people visit dermatologists for cosmetic treatments. This can include different treatments like injections that help the skin to look and feel younger. Skincare is one of the most common areas involving anti-aging treatments. While Botox has become a popular treatment there are also various other options for cosmetic treatments.\nDermatologists can also deal with various skin conditions. Some of the most common ones include acne, moles, and cysts. About 80% of cysts are non-cancerous. However, some have cancer cells so they should be treated to deal with those issues.\nSkin cancer is easily one of the most serious conditions that dermatologists have to deal with. It’s important for people to be screened regularly for this condition. It’s also important to take steps using sunscreen, sunglasses with UV protection, and others to help protect your skin from harmful UV rays.\nLike other types of treatments, it’s important to get treatments for serious skin conditions as soon as possible. This can help to prevent them from getting worse. In the case of skin cancer, it’s critical to treat the cancer cells/tumors to prevent them from spreading to other body parts.\nWhat Is Alpha Dermatology?\nThis is the most complete dermatology practical located in Pennsylvania’s Bucks/Montgomery Counties. If you’re in South-East Pennsylvania then you should consider this practice for various dermatology services.\nAlpha offers knowledgeable/experienced skincare experts. The practice offers a full range of various dermatology services like skin cancer screening, laser treatments, Botox injections, and skin cancer treatment/surgery.\nThe dermatology practice offers various kinds of services including:\n- Growth removal (cysts)\n- Skin disease treatments\n- Mole removal\n- Acne/acne scar treatments\n- Laser treatments for scars\n- Lesion treatments\nThe practice also offers a wide range of cosmetic treatments. They include Botox and others. These procedures are performed by dermatologists who are board-certified. The physician has performed thousands of treatments so it makes this option a good one.\nAnother plus of Alpha Dermatology is it accepts policies from various health insurance providers include: Aetna, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Cigna, Medicare, and United Healthcare.\nIf you have any questions you can call Alpha. Meanwhile, you can also schedule an appointment online for convenience. This allows you to benefit from any of the practice’s services, which is a plus over other practices that don’t offer the service.\nAlpha’s website provides all the resources prospective customers need. For example, you can find information about the practice itself. There’s also information about the services offered, payment policies, and insurance forms. This is all critical information to provide customers with the best service possible.\nWhen available of dermatology services it’s important to have critical information about various issues. That includes ones related to services, insurance, and payments. It’s critical to secure the funds required to pay for various skincare services, for example.\nThis involves different issues related to ones like insurance premiums and services covered. For example, many health insurance policies don’t cover cosmetic treatments. So you should know whether or not your insurance provider would cover various Alpha services.\nTop Issues for Picking a Dermatologist\nThis is important to determine whether or not the practice accepts your health insurance provider. If you’re planning on paying using other methods you’ll want to know whether they’re accepted by the dermatology practice.\nThe USA spent $3.5 trillion in healthcare costs during 2018. This means there are many financial sources to help cover the costs of skin care treatments. So it’s critical to know whether or not you can pay using certain methods and through health insurance providers.\nThe old saying “location, location, location” certainly applies when picking a dermatologist. This is related to various factors. You’ll want a practice that’s relatively close for convenience. This is especially true if you require treatment with multiple sessions. In that situation, you won’t want to travel to the other side of the state each time you need a skin care treatment.\nThe web and social media have made it easier than ever to read reviews for all sorts of services including dermatologists. Make sure to research the general experience past customers have had. There’s always going to be unhappy customers. However, if most reviews for a particular practice have been negative it’s a red flag.\nMake sure to consider the experience of the dermatology practice itself and the doctors working there. Experience is always important when receiving skincare treatments whether it’s for medical conditions or cosmetic improvements.\nIt’s important to determine the purpose of finding a dermatologist. Alpha Dermatology include various ones like cosmetic, medical, or surgical. These are some of the main purposes of finding a dermatologist. For example, you can find a practice that specializes in different services like cosmetic or medical.\nIn different situations, you’ll need one or multiple types of services. So it’s critical to think about the particular service(s) you require so you can pick a dermatologist practice like alpha dermatology.", "domain": "health"}

It is a common problem for residents of Reno who live with dogs and cats. Flea infestations are so common that many people don't realize there is a risk involved. While most flea infestations can come and go without incident, some can present a threat to your health and the health of your pets.\nHow Fleas Impact Your Health\nMost diseases that can be spread by fleas can't be transmitted to humans, but you should be aware of the few that can.\nMurine typhus — This is a disease caused by the bacteria Rickettsia typhi. Fleas can contract this bacteria from rats, opossums, and other animals. If an infected flea bites your dog, cat, or you, this sickness can spread. This bacteria is spread by contact with flea feces. Since fleas excrete feces while feeding, bite wounds can immediately become infected.\nBartonellosis — There are several illnesses caused by Bartonella bacteria, such as cat scratch fever. If your cat is bitten by an infected flea, you can become sick from contact with your pet, specifically their saliva. You can also get it from a bite or scratch from your pet. Fleas commonly contract this bacteria from rodents.\nTularemia — This is caused by the bacteria Francisella tularensis, and the symptoms are flu-like in nature. You can get this directly from a flea that has been infected. Fleas pick this bacteria up from mice, rats, and some other animals.\nPlague — While not as deadly as it once was, the plague is still a threat and it can be miserable to get. This is spread by rats.\nDid you notice a thread in the above descriptions? Mice and rats are directly linked to the spread of many flea-borne diseases. If you have a flea infestation, it is important that you check to see if you also have a rodent infestation because this can put your family and your pets at serious risk.\nHow Fleas Impact Your Health\nThere are many ways a flea can make your pet sick. You've probably dealt with some of them, especially if you've ever picked up a stray animal. Two of the first things you have to do with a stray is treat it for fleas and treat it for tapeworms. What you might not know is that the animal gets these worms by accidentally ingesting fleas as it chews at them. Fleas are the root problem.\nAnother common ailment that pet owners must deal with when it comes to flea infestation is flea allergy dermatitis. This condition is caused by a sensitivity to the saliva of fleas. This can lead to irritated skin, dry patches, hair loss, and even open wounds on the skin.\nHow To Detect Fleas Early\nOne of the ways you can protect your pets and yourself from fleas is to address flea infestations early. At the first sign of scratching, check your pet for fleas or flea dirt. You can do this with a pet comb.\nWhat To Do About Fleas\nIf you detect fleas, give your pets a flea bath or apply products prescribed by your veterinarian. After you've done this, vacuum your rugs, clean your floors, and clean all areas where your pets sleep. Be sure to get the gaps and cracks. You may also need to wash all of your bedding, especially if your animals lay on your bed.\nThis may correct your flea infestation. If it doesn't, you may need to have your home treated. In light of the many ways fleas can impact your health, we recommend contacting a licensed pest professional. For assistance, in Reno, contact Natura Pest Control. We can give you the support you need to make sure those fleas are quickly eliminated. We can also assist you with rodent issues that could be bringing fleas into your home and exposing you and your pets to the illnesses listed above.\nFleas aren't just a nuisance.

This is part of the recent preventative health push of the Department.\nSouth Africans consume an average of 9.8g of salt per day - twice the recommended level - and bread is a high salt product. There are apparently 200mg of salt per slice of bread - so to reach the recommended level of 3g per day, you’d have to eat 15 slices of bread a day. (source)\nWhile this might seem like a hell of a lot of bread to eat per day, in our AFSUN research we found many households surviving on just bread and sweet tea. Bread is staple for many urban households.\nThe problem is that in order to make these changes, there will be costs. You can’t simply remove the salt. The salt is not only a flavorant, but also impacts the texture, production method and shelf-life of the product. Both Tiger Brands and Pioneer foods have argued that this will add significant cost to the end product (link). Of course, the bread companies have been less than transparent with their pricing in the past (Link)\nWith food prices set to escalate (link) and many households (up to 80% in low income areas of Cape Town) already struggling with food security, what is the likely impact?

Sedentary lifestyles and lack of time in this fast paced world has made weight loss even more difficult. Due to this, people have taken to weight loss supplements that can help reduce weight without any significant efforts. However, most of these products prove to be ineffective and some of them dangerous too.\nLately, a new weight loss supplement has taken the health and diet enthusiasts by a storm. It has shown effective results, and has been clinical tested. Yes, the product in question is the green coffee extract. Green coffee is the raw or unroasted form of the usual coffee that we drink, however it does not taste half as good because it lacks the characteristic flavour of the coffee that comes only after the beans have been roasted.\nLeaving the taste component aside, green coffee offers many health benefits which make it a product worth trying. Green coffee extract contains a chemical called chlorogenic acid, which is not present in the roasted coffee. This chemical is responsible for all the health benefits that green coffee offers.\nChlorogenic acid helps reduce weight by inhibiting the absorption of glucose in the body. It also increases the metabolic rate of the body, which means your body burns more calories than usual even if you keep other factors like diet and exercise unchanged. Once your body is absorbing less glucose, and has a higher metabolic rate; it tends to burn the fat deposits. This leads to effective weight loss.\nGreen coffee extract also helps fight free radicals in the body. The anti oxidant properties of this weight loss supplement helps fight signs of aging. So, you can expect a slimmer, healthier and a younger looking body once you start taking the green coffee bean extract. It is also beneficial for those people who have diabetes, because it regulates the release of insulin the body. So, the diabetics can get benefited from the dual effects of insulin regulation and weight loss.\nGreen coffee extract is known to increase immunity and fight diseases like cancer. It improves the blood circulation in the body, and builds the muscle tone. The weight loss benefits of the green coffee extract have been clinically proven in an experiment conducted by a team of scientists from the University of Scranton. In this experiment, a group of 16 obese individuals was divided into sub groups and alternating high, low and placebo doses of green coffee extract were given for a period of 12 weeks. At the end of experiments the subjects had lost 10 percent of their body weight.\nThis experiment, coupled by endorsement from the popular TV show host Dr. Oz went a long way in popularizing green coffee extract as an effective weight loss supplement. The best part about this product is that no side effects have been reported so far and those who have used this product are all praises about this product. The recommended daily dosage of green coffee extract is 800 mg.\nThe pills are easily available online, but it should be ensured that only pure coffee bean extract is bought.

However, the benefits of eating healthy extend far beyond just physical well-being; they encompass mental, emotional, and even societal aspects of our lives. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the profound benefits of eating healthy, exploring how it can transform our lives in various ways.\nI. Physical Health Benefits\n- Weight management\nOne of the most apparent advantages of eating a healthy diet is weight management. Obesity has become a global epidemic, leading to numerous health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, and joint problems. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains can help individuals maintain a healthy weight or shed excess pounds, reducing the risk of obesity-related diseases.\n- Disease Prevention\nA nutritious diet can act as a powerful shield against a multitude of diseases. Consuming foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants can strengthen the immune system and reduce the risk of chronic illnesses, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and diabetes. For instance, a diet high in fiber can lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.\n- Increased Energy Levels\nHealthy eating provides a steady supply of energy throughout the day. Nutrient-dense foods, such as complex carbohydrates and lean proteins, release energy slowly, preventing blood sugar spikes and crashes. This sustained energy level helps individuals stay alert, focused, and productive.\n- Better Digestion\nFiber-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains promote healthy digestion. They aid in regular bowel movements, prevent constipation, and maintain a healthy gut microbiome. A well-functioning digestive system is essential for overall health and well-being.\n- Stronger Bones and Teeth\nA diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, found in dairy products, fortified foods, and leafy greens, promotes strong bones and teeth. This is crucial in preventing osteoporosis and dental problems in later life.\nII. Mental and Emotional Health Benefits\n- Improved Mood\nThe link between diet and mental health is gaining recognition. Research suggests that a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and omega-3 fatty acids can improve mood and reduce the risk of depression and anxiety. These foods contain nutrients that support brain function and the production of neurotransmitters that regulate mood.\n- Enhanced Cognitive Function\nHealthy eating can boost cognitive function and memory. Nutrients like antioxidants, vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids protect the brain from oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, and support neural connectivity. This can result in improved concentration, problem-solving skills, and overall cognitive performance.\n- Reduced Stress Levels\nChronic stress can have a detrimental impact on physical and mental health. Eating a balanced diet can help reduce stress by regulating cortisol levels and promoting a sense of well-being. Foods rich in magnesium, such as nuts and leafy greens, are known to have calming effects.\n- Better Sleep Quality\nDiet plays a significant role in sleep quality. Foods that are high in sugar and processed carbohydrates can disrupt sleep patterns, leading to poor sleep quality. On the other hand, a diet consisting of complex carbohydrates, lean proteins, and certain amino acids can promote better sleep.\nIII. Longevity and Aging Benefits\n- Slower Aging Process\nA healthy diet can slow down the aging process at the cellular level. Antioxidant-rich foods combat oxidative stress and inflammation, reducing the risk of age-related diseases and promoting longevity. For example, resveratrol in red grapes has been linked to anti-aging effects.\n- Increased Lifespan\nResearch consistently shows that individuals who follow a balanced diet tend to live longer. The combination of disease prevention, better overall health, and improved bodily functions can add years to one’s life.\nIV. Social and Economic Benefits\n- Social Well-Being\nEating healthy often involves cooking at home and sharing meals with loved ones. This fosters stronger social connections and promotes family bonding. It also sets a positive example for children, encouraging them to adopt healthy eating habits from an early age.\n- Reduced Healthcare Costs\nA population that embraces healthy eating can potentially reduce healthcare costs on a societal level. Preventing chronic diseases through proper nutrition can alleviate the burden on healthcare systems and reduce the economic strain on individuals and families.\nV. Environmental Benefits\n- Sustainable Agriculture\nEating healthy isn’t just about personal health; it’s also about the health of the planet. A diet focused on whole, plant-based foods has a lower environmental footprint. It requires less water, produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions, and minimizes deforestation compared to diets heavy in meat and processed foods.\n- Biodiversity Conservation\nPromoting the consumption of a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and grains can help preserve biodiversity. Diversified diets support the cultivation of a broader range of crops, reducing the risk of monoculture and the associated loss of plant and animal species.\nThe benefits of eating healthy extend beyond mere physical health. They encompass mental and emotional well-being, longevity, social connections, economic savings, and environmental sustainability. Embracing a balanced diet not only enhances our individual lives but also contributes to a healthier society and planet. In a world where convenience often takes precedence, it’s crucial to recognize the profound impact that our dietary choices can have on multiple aspects of our lives and the world around us. By prioritizing healthy eating, we pave the way for a brighter, more sustainable future for ourselves and generations to come.", "domain": "health"}

He compared the reaction of a dark blue tattoo to a QSRL with nanosecond pulses to that of a microsecond-pulsed ruby laser. He found nonspecific thermal necrosis with microsecond impacts, while nanosecond impacts only produced transient edema accompanied by a peculiar whitening of the impact area, which lasted about 30 minutes. No thermal necrosis was present, but tattoo fragments remained in the dermis. The mechanism of this reaction was unknown but not believed to be thermal because of normal measurements taken with a thermistor. Because retention of tattoo pigment was reported, this modality was originally interpreted as a failure. However, Goldman followed the patient's progress and noted continued fading of the treated area.\nIn 1992, Goldman communicated that he was unable to continue this work because his engineer had been fatally electrocuted, and the project was abandoned. Three years later, other investigators confirmed and expanded these results by using a QSRL (694 nm, 20 ns) to remove blue and black tattoo pigment successfully without tissue damage. Biopsies performed after 3 months showed absence of tattoo pigment and no evidence of thermal damage. These effects were dose dependent, with fluences of 5.6 J/cm2 or less showing absence of thermal damage but incomplete pigment removal. Higher fluences led to subepidermal blistering similar to a second-degree burn and dermal fibrosis at 3 months, although pigment removal was more complete. Subsequent studies concluded that this treatment modality was impractical because of the small target areas and the risk of coagulation necrosis of tissue surrounding the tattoo pigment.\nReid et al continued to study the QSRL, and, in 1983, they published an additional report on the removal of black pigment in professional and amateur tattoos. They reported good results, particularly with amateur tattoos but noted several disadvantages, including the need for multiple treatments (often 6 or more) for complete pigment removal. They also reported scarring in 2 patients and emphasized the need to use relatively low powers (but above the threshold to produce immediate tissue whitening) and the importance of the treatment interval. At least 3 weeks between treatments were necessary for tissue healing and pigment removal by macrophages. In vitro tests showed an immediate reaction in the ink that could be explained only by a chemical reaction.\nBiopsy specimens revealed evidence of ink fragmentation into smaller particles, which were then phagocytized by macrophages. These 2 phenomena correspond with clinical observations of an immediate reduction in visible pigment in the first week after treatment, followed by gradual fading over the next several weeks without further therapy.\nStimulated by studies that found that the QSRL preferentially damaged melanized cells in animal skin and by the tattoo studies previously cited, researchers at the Wellman Laboratories of Photomedicine at Harvard Medical School completed a detailed dose-response study of the QSRL in 1990\nBy using a 40- to 80-nanosecond pulse, they treated 41 tattoos 5 times at doses of 1.5-4 J/cm2. Of 27 amateur tattoos, 8 cleared at a rate greater than 75% (all treated at 4 J/cm2) in an average of 2.6 treatments. None of the 14 professional tattoos reached this level within 5 treatment sessions, and frequent purpura and rare, punctate bleeding occurred. Twenty-eight tattoos with residual pigment were treated up to 5 times at fluences of 5-8 J/cm2 with more tissue damage, frequent purpura, and occasional superficial erosions noted. At the completion of this phase, more than 75% clearance was achieved in an additional 10 amateur tattoos (average of 3.5 treatments) and 3 professional tattoos (single treatment).\nThe overall results were excellent in 78% of amateur tattoos but in only 23% of professional tattoos. Despite these discouraging statistics, the authors were optimistic that the QSRL would become the preferred treatment for tattoos because of the rare result of scarring. In addition, the authors stressed that the competitive absorption by melanosomes, which led to vacuolization of melanocytes and keratinocytes, with hypopigmentation noted in 39% (low fluences) to 46% (higher fluences) of patients. Normal pigmentation was reestablished progressively over a 4- to 12-month period; however, 4 of the 10 tattoos examined 1 year after treatment still showed confettilike hypopigmentation.\nThe authors agreed with previous investigators that the immediate whitening represents rapid, localized heating with steam or gas formation, resulting in dermal and epidermal vacuolization. An unexplained brief emission of white light as the laser pulse struck the tattoo pigment was noted. Interestingly, histologic persistence of altered tattoo pigment in areas of clinical clearing was noted, suggesting a change in the optical properties of the tattoo pigment.\nThis study did not establish an optimal treatment interval. Although the mean interval was 3 weeks, intervals of 1-5 weeks were used with no statistical difference in response. Blue and black pigments were most responsive, whereas green and yellow responded less well and red was poorly responsive to the red wavelength (694 nm). Purpura and punctate bleeding most likely represent indirect vascular injury from photoacoustic waves generated by the laser's interaction with tattoo pigment.\nScheibner et al reported preliminary results of treatment of 101 amateur and 62 professional tattoos using fluences of 2-4 J/cm2 with a 40-nanosecond pulse width, spot sizes of 5 and 8 mm, and a treatment interval of 5-6 weeks. Although response details are lacking, after an average of 4 treatments, 87% of amateur tattoos were more than 80% clear, while of 62 professional tattoos, only 11% were more than 80% clear. Treated areas required 10-14 days to heal, remained erythematous for an additional 1-3 weeks, and developed hypopigmentation lasting 2-6 months in most patients. Skin textural changes resolved over 6-8 weeks, with no scarring reported. Tattoos of the face and the neck responded faster but were more sensitive to tissue damage, necessitating lower fluences. A better response was noted with older, professional tattoos and blue inks in comparison to other colors.\nAs stated earlier, Taylor et al reported on light and electron microscopic analysis of QSRL-treated tattoos. After irradiation, all of the 3 previously described particle types were still found, in addition to the round, lamellated, electron-lucent particles measuring 25-40 nm found more commonly in the deeper dermis and subcutaneous fat. These altered particles are believed to originate from the 40-nm particle. After treatment, pigment granules measured approximately 1 µm (compared with the original size of 4.0 µm) and were loosely packed. Granules in the papillary dermis measured 0.2-0.4 µm and were densely packed. Again, clinical clearing correlated poorly with histologic clearing because tattoos that responded well often had residual pigment.\nThe mechanism of action of the QSRL is through photon absorption by tattoo pigment within fibroblasts. During the 40-nanosecond pulse, temperatures exceeding 1000°C can occur. Gaseous products of pyrolysis or pores created by superheated steam may account for the lamellated appearance of the granules after laser exposure. The reduction in pigment particle size and fragmentation of pigment-containing cells probably results from rapid thermal expansion, shock waves, and potentially localized cavitation. Fluence-dependent thermal damage to collagen immediately surrounding the irradiated tattoo pigment also occurs.", "domain": "health"}

These injuries indicate that the Man suffered a violent blunt trauma to the neck, chest and shoulder from behind, causing neuromuscular damage and lesions of the entire brachial plexus.”\nThis is the conclusion four university professors arrived at in an in-depth study they carried out on the image of the crucified Man on the Turin Shroud. They observed that “the posture of the left claw-hand is indicative of an injury of the lower brachial plexus, as is the crossing of the hands on the pubis, not above the pubis as it would normally be, and are related to traction of the limbs as a result of the nailing to the patibulum.” Only part of the study has been published so far in Injury , the prestigious International Journal of the Care of the Injured. The rest of the study is to follow shortly. The four experts involved in the research are: Matteo Bevilacqua of the Hospital-University of Padua, Italy; Giulio Fanti of the Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Padua, Italy; Michele D’Arienzo of the Orthopaedic Clinic at the University of Palermo, Italy and Raffaele De Caro of the Institute of Anatomy at the University of Padua, Italy.\nThe first discovery the four experts made, is that the Man of the Shroud underwent a dislocation of the shoulder and paralysis of the right arm. The person whose figure is imprinted on the Shroud is believed to have collapsed under the weight of the cross, or the “patibulum” as it is referred to in the study, the horizontal part of the cross. The Man of the Shroud the academics explain, fell “forwards” and suffered a “violent” knock” “while falling to the ground.” “Neck and shoulder muscle paralysis” were “caused by a heavy object hitting the back between the neck and shoulder and causing displacement of the head from the side opposite to the shoulder depression. In this case, the nerves of the upper brachial plexus (particularly branches C5 and C6) are violently stretched resulting in an Erb-Duchenne paralysis (as occurs in dystocia) because of loss of motor innervation to the deltoid, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, biceps, supinator, brachioradialis and rhomboid muscles.” At this point it would have been impossible for the cross bearer to go on holding it and this brings to mind the passage in the Gospel which describes how the soldiers forced Simon of Cyrene to pick up Jesus’ cross. Not an act of compassion therefore, but of necessity. This explains why “the right shoulder is lower than the left by 10±5 degrees” and The right eye is retracted in the orbit” because of the paralysis of the entire arm, the academics say.\nThe second discovery described in the Injury article is to do with the double nailing of the Man’s hands: Until now, experts could not explain the absence of thumbprints. The four academics can now reveal that “the lack of thumbprints of both hands on the TS is related not only to a lesion of the median nerve that causes only a slight flexion of the thumb, but also, particularly, to the fact that the nail driven into the wrist has pulled or injured the flexor pollicis longus tendon causing its dragging in the hole and the complete retraction of the thumb.”\nWhy the double nailing?One plausible reason could be that the Man’s executioners were unable to nail his hands into the holes that had already been specially punched into the cross to prevent the nails from bending when they were hammered into the hard wood. Once the first wrist was nailed to the cross they failed to nail the second one using the pre-prepared hole and so the executioners had to unnail both wrists. They then apparently drove the nails in lower down between the two rows of carpal bones, on the ulnar side of the hand.\nThe third discovery is to do with the right foot of the Man of the Shroud: it was nailed to the cross twice. An analysis of the imprint of the sole of the right foot shows two nails were driven into it: one between the second and third metatarsal and another at heel level which other academics had not spotted clearly.\nAccording to the four experts, the Man of the Shroud definitely siuffered a very serious and widespread pain accompanied by an intense sensation of heat, and usually shock when there is event he slightest limb movement. This was caused by a total paralysis of the right arm, the nailing of the left arm because of damage to the median nerve and the nailing of the feet because of damage to the tibial nerves. This method of nailing led to breathing impairment: with the arms raised at an approximately 15 degree angle causing the ribcage to expand, the lungs had difficulty expiring, reducing air flow. In addition to this, each deep breath the Man took to speak or to catch his breath will have put a strain on the lower limbs causing him intense pain.\nThe Chaldean Patriarch Louis Raphael I is taking measures against priests and...\nHer case is now in the hands of the Supreme Court.

Comorbidity, defined as “the simultaneous presence of two chronic diseases or conditions in a patient” comes into play when COVID impacts either an underlying medical condition, or another medical condition which develops after the COVID finding. When comorbidity exists in COVID-19 cases, affected workers are placed at greater risk as to the eventual outcome of their health because of the impact of COVID on their other medical condition. In either scenario, the second medical condition – whether it develops before or after the onset of COVID-19 – makes the situation more severe and problematic.\nMany COVID-19 sufferers develop comorbidity if they have high blood pressure/ hypertension, chronic pulmonary disease, diabetes, liver problems, kidney problems, cancer or even obesity. These factors, along with other medical conditions which are combined with COVID-19 to create comorbidity, place the affected workers at a higher risk of suffering a more severe disability because of the combined impact of the two medical conditions, substantially delaying their ability to return to work, and/ or increasing their level of residual impairment.\nResearch regarding comorbidity has shown that it increases the likelihood of death when two medical conditions – one being COVID-19 – interact. As time progresses, and our understanding of comorbidity and COVID increases, there will be information which should cause adjusting agencies to see the combined effect.\nThe combined effect of COVID-19 and other previously-existing or later-developing medical conditions is a paramount issue to be addressed by Workers’ Compensation adjusters, adjusting agencies and self-insured employers so they will recognize the impact of comorbidity. If those parties fail to make this recognition and delay treatment needed by injured workers to cure or relieve their work-related injuries which involve comorbidity, the workers most likely will be off work for a longer period of time and have increased residual impairment.\nFor adjusting agencies, being aware of comorbidity and dealing with it proactively is a must.\nCase law states that if a worker has a condition which is work-related, the employer has the absolute responsibility to cure or relieve the effects of that condition. And it is not necessary just that condition. If any ancillary medical conditions develop as a result of the work-related injury – in this case, COVID-19 – those conditions also become the responsibility of the employer’s Workers’ Compensation carrier.\nIn addition, if a pre-existing, current or subsequent medical condition which is non-work-related delays or makes worse the work-related medical condition, this disease or condition must be treated under the Workers’ Compensation system.\nAs stated previously, no matter what form the comorbidity takes – whether the COVID-19 impacts a previously-existing medical condition, or whether another medical condition develops after the COVID finding – the employer has the responsibility to cure or relieve both medical conditions.\nAs we know, the Utilization Review process and Independent Medical Review process for obtaining medical care are damaged and need correction. However, adjusters can recognize the necessity of care needed by injured workers and override UR and IMR to provide that care.\nComorbidity and COVID are tied together like twins, and must be dealt with properly. If this fails to be the case, injured workers’ need for medical care, their length of time off work, and their residual impairment will all continue to accelerate.\n(For more information, see Newsletter 2021 Issue #7 — COVID/LONG HAULERS/ LONG COVID – which supports the fact that more information and better treatment of injured workers will allow for less impairment and a quicker return to work.)", "domain": "health"}

You are probably thinking of that hideous plant (dare I even call it a plant?) from the 90s. The ones were you sprinkle chia seeds on a head, pet, or of course, Garfield. Guess what, they added Shrek and Sponge Bob to the mix. Why not?\nWell, I not exactly talking about those Chia products. I really don't need anymore plant decor in my house that I can murder. Instead I am talking about the little seed they use, the Chia Seed. It is magical. I mean it can make Shrek grow hair.\nHey, I have an idea! Do you think it can help baby M...\nOther than its mystical ability to transform clay pottery into plant \"hair\" growth, it does wonders for your body.\nChia seeds were known to be part of the Mayan and Aztec diets. They thought that consuming 1 tablespoon could sustain a person for 24 hours. It was referred to as the \"running food\". Aztec warriors relied on the seeds heavily to sustain them through battle. I know there are plenty of wellness warriors that are mad about them as well.\nChia seeds are loaded with Omega-3 fatty acids; even more so than its homeboy, flax. Fatty acids help protect against inflammation and heart disease. Dr. Oz says that, \"they have among the highest antioxidant activity of any whole food–even more than fresh blueberries.\" They also have more calcium than a glass of milk. It is 20% protein and has a ton of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.\nChristopher McDougall, author of Born to Run, the true story of the astoundingly fit and healthy Tarahumara barefoot runners in Mexico, (who take off on 50-100-mile running runs as if they were evening strolls) likened the nutritional value of chia to making a 'smoothie of wild salmon, spinach and human growth hormones.'\nDo you need more reasons to dig the seed?

Here is a big one! It helps you lose weight. For real. I know from first hand experience. They kill cravings. When I make a Chia Fresca I feel full and satisfied for hours. I praise the high fiber content and nutritional density. No deprivation, no binges, no guilt, no stress.\nYou can make your own healthy version of Red Bull with Chia seeds.

Oral examination revealed a radiopacity in the maxillary sinus.\nWhen questioned about the sinus area, the patient denied any history of symptoms associated with this region. The patient appeared to be in a general good state of health, with no significant medical history. The patient's dental history included regular examinations and routine treatment. At the time of the dental appointment, the patient was not taking any medications.\nThe patient's vital signs were found to be within normal limits. Examination of the head and neck region revealed no enlarged or palpable lymph nodes. Examination of the soft tissues of the oral cavity revealed no unusual findings. Radiographic examination revealed a large radiopacity projecting from the floor of the left maxillary sinus (see radiograph). The radiopacity appeared as a smooth, dome-shaped, homogeneous mass. The teeth adjacent to the left maxillary sinus were tested for vitality; all tested vital.\nBased on the clinical and radiographic information available, which one of the following is the most likely diagnosis?\n- periapical cyst\n- malignant tumor\n- antral pseudocyst\n- periapical abscess\n- antral pseudocyst\nThe antral pseudocyst is a common and well-documented finding on a panoramic radiograph. Most are discovered during routine radiographic examination and have little clinical significance. The antral pseudocyst should not be confused with the mucocele of the sinus, a destructive lesion of the sinus that requires surgical intervention.\nThe antral pseudocyst is believed to be caused by an inflammatory exudate that accumulates under the maxillary sinus mucosa and results in a sessile elevation. The exudate is serous (fluid-like) and not mucous in nature. This fluid is found below the periosteum of the floor of the maxillary sinus and results in the separation and elevation of the sinus mucosal lining from the bony floor. The cause of the fluid accumulation that results in the antral pseudocyst is unclear, although some studies suggest an adjacent odontogenic infection may precipitate the formation of this lesion. A primary irritation of the sinus lining is also considered a possible cause for the antral pseudocyst.\nThe antral pseudocyst is estimated to occur in 1.5 to 10 percent of the population. The antral pseudocyst of the maxillary sinus can be seen in any age group. Males are affected more frequently than females. The antral pseudocyst is asymptomatic. In contrast, the true sinus mucocele — a lesion that is capable of expanding and destroying bone — is associated with symptoms such as pain and tenderness in the areas of the teeth and face adjacent to the sinus.\nThe antral pseudocyst may vary in size from a small dome-shaped mass to a very large dome-shaped lesion that fills the entire sinus cavity. Over time, the antral pseudocyst may remain stationary, increase or decrease in size, or disappear for no apparent reason. The antral pseudocyst is best demonstrated on a panoramic film and is often discovered during routine radiographic examination. It may also be seen on maxillary posterior periapical films or extraoral films such as the Water's and the posterior-anterior skull films.\nRadiographically, the antral pseudocyst appears as a dome-shaped radiopacity extending from the floor of the maxillary sinus. The lesion appears as a homogeneous, soft-tissue radiopacity. The borders of the lesion exhibit the same density as the body of the mass and normal anatomic landmarks can be seen through the image of the mucous retention cyst. The antral pseudocyst most often occurs unilaterally, but may also be seen bilaterally.\nThe location and radiographic appearance of the antral pseudocyst are considered to be diagnostic. Based on the radiographic appearance, there are a number of lesions that may be confused with the antral pseudocyst, including tooth-related cysts, the sinus mucocele, and malignant tumors of the sinus.\nThe antral pseudocyst usually persists unchanged or disappears for no apparent reason. No treatment is necessary because the lesion is limited in growth and not destructive. The teeth adjacent to the antral pseudocyst should be thoroughly evaluated and any areas of odontogenic infection should be eliminated.\nIf the diagnosis is questionable, or if symptoms are present, the patient should be referred to an ear, nose & throat specialist for evaluation. The patient with an antral pseudocyst should be informed that the lesion is present and be reassured concerning the benign nature of the lesion. Because the majority of antral pseudocysts regress spontaneously, periodic radiographic examination with panoramic films can be used to follow the lesion.\nJoen Iannucci Haring, DDS, MS, is an associate professor of clinical dentistry, Section of Primary Care, The Ohio State University College of Dentistry.", "domain": "health"}

Although there are no confirmed human cases of EEE in Genesee County to date, there has been a confirmed case of a deer infected with EEE in Genesee County. As a result of this information, we would like to share precautionary measures to avoid situations and areas in which children are more likely to attract mosquito bites.\nThese measures were posted by MDHHS:\nApply insect repellents that contain the active ingredient DEET, or other U.S. Environmental Protection Agency-registered product to exposed skin or clothing, and always follow the manufacturer’s directions for use.\nWear long-sleeved shirts and long pants when outdoors. Apply insect repellent to clothing to help prevent bites.\nMaintain window and door screening to help keep mosquitoes outside.\nEmpty water from mosquito breeding sites around the home, such as buckets, unused kiddie pools, old tires or similar sites where mosquitoes may lay eggs.\nUse nets and/or fans over outdoor eating areas.\nWe are continuing to monitor communications from both the state and the county and will communicate them to you, along with any changes to our scheduled events if deemed necessary.\nAccording to MDHHS, “signs of EEE include the sudden onset of fever, chills, body and joint aches which can progress to severe encephalitis, resulting in headache, disorientation, tremors, seizures and paralysis”. MDHHS suggests that anyone experiencing these symptoms should visit their physician’s office.\nFenton Area Public Schools will continue to take the concern of Eastern Equine Encephalitis very seriously. We will continue to monitor this situation and consider guidance and communication from MDHHS and the Genesee County Health Department.\nAdditional information may be found at The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: https://www.cdc.gov/easternequineencephalitis/gen/pre.html\nDr. Adam Hartley\nFenton Area Public Schools", "domain": "health"}

In most cases if the symptoms of work related illness are recognised early enough, treated and preventative measures taken then the chance of permanent damage to your health or quality of life is reduced.\nThere are a variety of health problems that can be the result of work related illness.\nHearing loss or industrial deafness\nWork Related Hearing loss or industrial deafness may be temporary or permanent and includes conditions such as tinnitus and acoustic shock syndrome. If the symptoms of industrial deafness are found early enough, treated and preventative measures taken to reduce noise in the workplace there will be less chance of permanent hearing damage to hearing. If you have any concerns or suspect your hearing may have been damaged at work the sensible first step is to have your hearing tested. At Stonehewer Moss we can offer a free hearing test and advice on whether your hearing problems are the result of work related hearing loss or industrial deafness.\nWork related skin problems\nWork related skin problems such as dermatitis or Eczema can make skin inflamed, itchy and red. Such skin conditions are usually caused by an irritant that damages the skin or an allergen that triggers an immune response. Exposure to chemicals or substances at work can often be the cause of the condition or make it worse.\nExposure to Hazardous Substances\nIndustrial illnesses can be caused by exposure to hazardous substances or poisoning. Unfortunately, it is quite common for people to develop an illness or disease after coming into contact with a harmful substance in their workplace.\nHand-arm Vibration Syndrome or Vibration White Finger\nHand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) used to be called vibration white finger. It is a condition that develops as a result of using vibrating tools. Symptoms of hand-arm vibration syndrome start with changes in sensation leading to numbness of fingers, muscle weakness and, in some cases, bouts of white finger and Raynaud’s phenomenon.\nWork Related Back Pain & Repetitive Strain Injuries\nBack pain is the second most common cause of long-term sickness in the UK after stress. In the workplace this can be caused by strained muscles or ligaments, wear and tear, bad posture and stress and can lead to musculoskeletal injuries. As well as the back, shoulders, arms, wrists and knees are also commonly affected.\nWork Related Stress\nWell-designed, organised and managed work is good for us but when insufficient attention to job design, work organisation and management has taken place, it can result in work related stress. Work related stress develops because a person is unable to cope with the demands being placed on them. Stress, including work related stress, can be a significant cause of illness and is known to be linked with high levels of sickness absence, staff turnover and other issues such as more errors.\nWho is responsible for your Industrial Illness or Work Related Disease\nYour employer is responsible for protecting you from hazardous substances and hazardous situations whilst you are in work. It is their duty to minimise the risks of you developing an Industrial Illness or Industrial Disease.For example, if your working environment is very noisy, it is your employer’s duty to reduce the noise to an acceptable level or, if this is not possible, to provide you with ear defenders to prevent Industrial Deafness or Noise Induced Hearing Loss. As long as your employer provides you with these ear defenders, it is your responsibility to wear them.\nIf you are working with chemicals your employer should have investigated the possibility of replacing dangerous chemicals with less harmful ones and ensured that you have the minimal amount of contact with them as possible. If your employer has concluded that there is no way around you working with the dangerous chemicals or hazardous substances then they should provide you with suitable protective clothing and equipment to wear such as safety glasses or goggles or gloves. It is your responsibility to wear the protective clothing once it has been provided.\nHow We Can Help\nIf you or someone you know has an illness, condition or disease caused or made worse by your work or your working environment and you think your employer is at fault, you may want to make a claim for compensation. Compensation claims can cover:\n- Your pain and suffering\n- Any loss of earnings\n- Specialist care and rehabilitation\nAs one of the leading specialist personal injury solicitors in Cheshire Stonehewer Moss are a local friendly firm with specialist knowledge and experience. We can guide and support you through the process of securing the work related illness compensation that you are entitled to.", "domain": "health"}

So, when Belichick says something that’s in no way backed up by science, you probably shouldn’t listen to him.\nThat’s precisely what happened Wednesday. Belichick responded to a question about Cam Newton‘s release by saying a “high number of players, coaches and staff members” have tested positive for COVID-19 after they were fully vaccinated.\nThe NFL’s chief medical officer Dr. Allen Sills wants Belichick – and NFL fans — to know that’s not true. Dr. Sills and his team have gathered data over the past couple weeks, and it shows there are higher rates of infection among individuals who are not vaccinated, according to MassLive.com.\n“We released our data last week from the first three weeks of August, and that data has consistently shown higher rates of infection in unvaccinated players than in vaccinated players. That was true at intake when they first came into training camp and it was true during that first three-week period of August that we released,” he said. “From a medical perspective, go to any major medical center in the country and as you walk around, those patients who are hospitalized, those who are in the ICU, you see the evidence the vaccines are working.\n“We know that vaccines are working. What we are seeing are some vaccinated people who test positive. But their illness tends to be very short and very mild, and that’s exactly what the vaccines were designed to do,” he continued. “Let’s all remember the vaccines were designed to prevent serious illness, hospitalization and death. They’re doing a terrific job of that so far, not only in the NFL where we haven’t seen any serious cases but in society as a whole.”\nCOVID positives among NFL players in August were much higher among unvaccinated players. Only 0.3 percent of vaccinated players tested positive for COVID-19 from Aug. 1 to Aug. 21. That figure jumped to 2.2 percent among unvaccinated players, a rate seven times higher, according to the NFL’s research.\nCOVID-19 vaccinations playing a role in 53-man rosters\nBelichick denied Newton’s vaccine status played a role in his release. Newton is not vaccinated, and missed time in camp after a misunderstanding led to a COVID-19 violation. That allowed rookie Mac Jones to get more reps in practice and eventually take Newton’s job as the team’s starter.\nJacksonville Jaguars coach Urban Meyer took things a step further, admitting vaccine status played a role in how he built his team. The NFLPA took issue with that statement, as there’s reportedly an agreement between the union and the league that players can’t be cut due to vaccination status. The Jaguars released a statement trying to clarify Meyer’s comments, but that may not stop the union from pursuing action against Meyer.\nRead more: https://sports.yahoo.com/nf-ls-chief-medical-officer-refutes-bill-belichicks-comments-about-covid-19-vaccine-144935522.html?src=rss", "domain": "health"}

There is so much to organise, so much to figure out, and so many unknowns, even in a ‘straightforward’ move. Moving abroad while pregnant adds whole new layers of complexity!\nI was five and a half months pregnant when we moved from Thailand to Germany – we didn’t exactly plan it that way, but life doesn’t always work to a perfect plan.\nEven if you are in a familiar country, preparing to have a baby involves a lot of new and unfamiliar appointments and information. In a new country, especially when that country is Germany, the system can be very tricky to understand and navigate for the first time.\nI found that there were lots of resources online about being pregnant in Germany and giving birth in Germany, but they typically assumed that you were already familiar with the German system.\nSo I thought it might be helpful if I wrote a guide specifically about moving to Germany while pregnant, based on my recent experience.\nOverall, the experience of having a baby in Germany has been excellent – there are ample support systems, good services and high standards of care. But getting in and around the system was tricky initially, and there are significant differences in the German maternity care system which differ a lot versus, say the UK or Thailand.\nSo here are some useful things to know if you’re moving to Germany while pregnant!\nMoving to Germany while pregnant: What You Must Do\n1. Get proof of Health Insurance/ your insurance card\nIn order to access German Health Care, it is essential that you have your proof of Health Insurance. There are various public and private insurance providers, which admittedly I know little or nothing about! In my case, I had TK (Techniker Krankenkasse) insurance thanks to Mark’s job providing a family insurance plan.\nOn arrival in Germany, you will likely need to apply for your Health Insurance Card, which will be posted to your home address. While the request for your physical health card is processing, you can normally get a proof of health insurance PDF.\nIt is absolutely essential that you have your PDF or Health Insurance card when you visit the doctor (or any sort of medical appointment) – I learnt this the hard way when I was turned away by the doctor’s office receptionist.\nOnce you have your proof of Health Insurance/ Insurance Card, bring it to all doctor and hospital appointments.\nAs a side note, you might like to check out Mark’s helpful blog post of what to expect when moving to Germany. A number of my letters went missing due to my initial failure to put my name on our door buzzer/ letter box, including some from the health insurance provider.\n2. Register with a gynaecologist (and get your Mutterpass)\nThe gynaecologist handles all of your prenatal care; it is very important that you find one and make an appointment as soon as possible.\nThe easiest way to find a gynaecologist it to search for one on Doctolib – a general booking system for medical services in Germany (the website is in German, so turn on the Google Translate plug in to translate the website as you navigate).\nYou will likely find that most gynaecologists are booked up months in advance, so it’s not the time to be fussy – choose one within a reasonable distance who speaks your preferred language and book an appointment (You can always move to a different gynaecologist after the baby is born).\nI have noticed that typically male gynaecologists have more availability (perhaps because many women prefer being treated by fellow women?); my gynaecologist was male, extremely professional, and always ensured a female health assistant was present in the room for any physical examinations.\nGynaecologist appointments during pregnancy are numerous, be prepared for them to want to see you at least once a month with frequency increasing to every week in your final month of pregnancy.\nThe gynaecologist is responsible for providing and managing your most important pregnancy document – your Mutterpass.\nThis booklet logs the results from each of your appointments, as well as test results. It is likely that you will be asked to repeat all the standard pregnancy tests, even if you have results from another country. So if you’re moving to Germany while pregnant from abroad, bring your documents, but be prepared to repeat tests.\nIn my experience, the gynaecologist was only interested in my 20 week scan and NIFT results from Thailand, while all other paperwork was declined and I had to repeat blood & urine tests as well as scans.\nBe prepared for your appointment to result in more appointments – as well as tests at the gynaecologist office, I had to visit a diabetes specialist in order to have a blood sugar test, and I was also sent to the hospital for further investigation when one of my results was abnormal. The process is very thorough.\nOnce you have your Mutterpass, bring it to all doctor and hospital appointments, along with your Insurance Card.\n3. Register with your chosen hospital\nIn Germany, you get to choose which hospital you want to use to give birth. This can feel overwhelming if you have multiple choices, so focus on the practical elements – how near the hospital is to your home & if the hospital offers the type of birth you would like.\nOnce you have chosen your hospital, you need to register with the hospital via a Geburtsanmeldung appointment. Normally these appointments are booked via a phone call or online booking system (it varies between hospitals).\nThis appointment typically takes place with a midwife at around week 34 of your pregnancy and covers practical elements such as your medical history, the type of birth you would like, what to expect at the hospital etc.\nOnce this appointment is complete, the next time you will return to the hospital will be when you are in labour.\n- If you would like to request a caesarean section, you will likely need to have an extra appointment with the hospital. I’ve written more about this in the ‘What You Can Do’ section.\n- You can also give birth in Geburtshaus, which are essentially midwife led units. Geburtshaus typically have a more cosy, unmedical feel, with the compromise that they cannot offer all medical interventions, and in the case of a complex birth, you may need to be transferred to the nearest hospital.\n- In case of emergency, it is my understanding that a hospital cannot turn you away if you turn up in labour, even if you haven’t registered there.\nMoving to Germany while pregnant: What You Can Do\n1. Register with a GP (Hausarzt)\nIn Gemany, you typically make an appointment directly with a specialist in that area (e.g. for Women’s Health, you book an appointment with a gynaecologist). However, for general health complaints, you will need to visit a GP (aka Hausarzt).\nYou do not specifically need to have one as part of the pregnancy process, but it is helpful to have registered in case you experience any minor complaints during pregnancy.\nThe easiest way to find a Hausarzt & book an appointment is via Doctolib.\nAs a watch out – you may find that they are extremely reluctant to prescribe anything for pregnant or breastfeeding women and may suggest a herbal tea as an alternative remedy… (this has been my experience, which can be frustrating, especially if you are used to systems which prescribe medicine more liberally.\n2. Arrange a Midwife (AKA Hebamme)\nThe midwife (AKA Hebamme) is responsible for at home support in the weeks immediately after you return from the hospital.\nThey check your physical and mental health, help with breastfeeding, weight the baby etc. Their cost is normally covered via your Health Insurance. They are optional, however in our experience, they are an extremely helpful resource & we recommend you try to find one.\nIn Berlin, you can contact Hebamme units directly, or you can also post on this facebook group with your delivery details & wait for a reply.\nDemand for Hebamme massively outstrips supply, so unfortunately the chances of finding one when you are due to give birth in a few months is unlikely (typically women start looking as soon as they find out they are pregnant).\nThis was our experience, but we were fortunate that the hospital was able to find us one after I had given birth (I don’t know how common this is).\nHaving a Hebamme was extremely useful, especially as our baby was early. Ours came to our apartment every day for the first week and then very regularly for over a month, checking in on both mother and baby. Hebammen don’t cost anything as standard, they are covered by health insurance.\n3. Request a caesarean section\nIn Germany, the hospital is not obliged to agree to elective caesarean requests, however in practice it does happen. We found it odd how anti- C-section the system is in Germany – in Thailand we would have had to fight not to have one, and in the UK it’s a much more free choice.\nCertain hospitals are more likely to grant requests than others, so it is best to ask around to get recommendations (even if you don’t know anyone, try Facebook groups such as ‘International Families Berlin’ to crowd source information).\nIn order to request an elective caesarean, you need to inform the hospital when booking your Geburtsanmeldung appointment, and it is highly likely you will need to book a further appointment in order to discuss your caesarean request.\nDuring this appointment, you will meet with a doctor who will ensure you are informed of all the risks of caesarean, as well as an anaesthetist in order to learn about the procedure.\nIn my experience, they will emphasise all the worst case scenarios, in part to ensure they are legally compliant. It is possible you will find these appointments unsettling, so stay strong if an elective caesarean is definitely what you want.\nAssuming they agree to your request, you will need to sign a number of consent forms & they will provide you with the date of your procedure.\nIf you are unsuccessful, assuming you haven’t been turned down for a medical reason, you could try again with another hospital.\n4. Attend a prenatal course\nThere are a number of English speaking prenatal courses available, both online and in person. These courses are typically covered by your Health Insurance.\nThey cover a number of useful topics from labour to caring for your baby. The in-person ones are also a great way to meet other parents in your area.\n5. Book a postnatal Ruckbildung course\nRuckbildung is a postnatal workout class, focused on your core & pelvic floor recovery post pregnancy & birth. These courses can be online, or in person and are a great way to meet other mothers. These courses are typically covered by your Health Insurance.\n6. Find your local Familienzentrum\nLook no further for classes and activities with your new baby! Familientzentrum are essentially community centres for parents with young children. Depending on your area, and the activity class they may be English speaker friendly.\nHelpful Extras on Pregnancy and Birth in Germany\nWhen moving from Bangkok to Berlin, I noticed that was is considered a ‘normal’ or ‘recommended’ birth or childcare practice can dramatically vary by country (or maybe even city). Personally, I think that the mother’s preference is most important so if you disagree with the German perspective on the below, be confident and speak up to get what you want.\nThe German perspective is that vaginal birth, with minimal intervention is best. You may even find that your prenatal course will suggest that you try to avoid pain management such as epidurals. If you do want to have an elective caesarean, you will find that some medical professionals and midwives will try to persuade you not to based on their opinion rather than medical reason, emphasising that vaginal birth is ‘best’.\nIn my case, I successfully booked an elective caesarean, but I went into labour a month early, and the baby came so quickly that I ended up having a vaginal birth anyway. Happily, both myself and the baby were fine (mentally as well as physically), but I did find it very strange that a few medical professionals congratulated me on having ‘avoided’ a caesarean birth, and my experience was ‘much better for me and the baby’.\nAs I mentioned above, Thailand was the polar opposite, and the UK is much more ambivalent.\nGermany is pro-breastfeeding, and encourages you to breastfeed your child. The hospital midwives will assist you in finding a technique that works, and may also have a lactation specialist to further help. It is common to be given a milk pump to use in the hospital and also receive a prescription to pick one up from your local pharmacy.\nOnce home, if you have a Hebamme, they will also help you further your breastfeeding technique.\nThe tricky part comes if you do not want to breastfeed, or find it difficult. You may find that you are encouraged to keep trying, without any consideration to impact on your mental health.\nPersonally, I had a difficult start, with a baby who was very sleepy and wasn’t strong enough to breastfeed directly.\nAfter being told repeatedly in the hospital that my baby was hungry and I needed to try and keep her awake to feed (easier said than done), my requests for formula not followed up, and some success with pumping, I was ultimately sent home with a warning that if my baby continued to lose weight, I would have to return to the hospital.\nImmediately on arrival home, I fed my baby formula and everyone was happier. Thanks to our very helpful and supportive Hebamme, I was able to find the best option for me, bringing my milk in via pump & then bottle feeding it to my baby.\nSpeaking to other women from my prenatal group, not all Hebamme are as supportive of formula and finding creative workarounds. Whatever happens to you, it doesn’t matter how you feed your baby, so long as you feed them, and you need to look after yourself physically and mentally in order to be able to look after your baby.\nAccess to English speaking medical professionals\nFor your prenatal care, it is very easy to find medical professionals who speak your preferred language via Doctolib.\nIt is common that the receptionist doesn’t, or prefers not to speak a language other than German, which is fair since we’re on Germany! If your German is still basic, I recommend learning one simple phrase ”Ich bin ….., ich habe einen Termine’ (I am…., I have an appointment).\nAdmittedly, Berlin has a lot of fluent English speakers, so it might not be as easy in other cities or rural areas.\nAt the hospital, in my experience, every Berlin doctor & midwife on the labour ward speaks English (I also heard French and Russian). It is very helpful to have a shared language during the labour itself, so if your hospital doesn’t have English speakers, you may want to learn some key birth phases.\nMy experience on the maternity ward post birth was quite different, about 50% of the midwives spoke English, while the rest would understand by reply in German.\nAs a result, I found my time on the maternity ward a lonely and confusing time, although I am grateful and astonished by the number of medical professionals who speak fluent English, despite it not being required for their job.\nRegistering your child’s birth\nOnce your child is born, there is a 7 day window where you can register their birth & name at the hospital office.\nYou will need to plan ahead as typically the hospital office is only open during weekday business hours, and you will need to provide various documents such as birth certificates & marriage certificate.\nI believe it is possible to register their birth after this date, but it’ll require going to a central government office, and it’s a trip best avoided when you are recovering from birth and getting to grips with your newborn.\nI hope that you find this guide, and sharing of my experiences helpful. While there has been some stress, confusion and tears, I wholeheartedly believe that Germany is an amazing country to have and raise children in.", "domain": "health"}

Each one listening intensely for the moment his or her name is called. I meet grandmothers with glaucoma, babies with strabismus, and children and adults with orbital defects resulting from the growth of a tumor, a stick to the eye or a car accident. The need is so great it hurts. I remind myself – few will be chosen. Yet, many will benefit from the knowledge and resources that our international medical team and volunteer experts will leave behind.\nFor now, though, only the most promising oculoplastic teaching cases are selected for further examination, treatment and surgery. Selection criteria are strict. Deciding who is chosen is the responsibility of Dr. Bob Kersten, renowned oculoplastic surgeon from Denver, Colorado. He meticulously examines each patient. Any number of reasons could separate one case from another. But each case chosen represents an important opportunity for local doctors to improve their knowledge, skill and confidence.\nThe day has come to an end. I’ve called all the names.

Together to play suite of healthcare video games helps rehabilitate children with complex neurological problems by comparing session data — providing an innovative rehabilitation therapy and monitoring of a child’s progress.\nTOP! Together to Play, is a video game suite co-designed by OpenDot and Fondazione TOG (TOG Foundation) with the support of Dotdotdot, WeAreMuesli, Istituto Mondino, PHuSeLab UniMi which promotes the therapy of children with complex neurological diseases. TOP! aids video game and eye-tracking rehabilitation and learning sessions. Used therapeutically, this technology enables the tracking and monitoring of the eye movements of patients suffering from severe cognitive deficits. It records explorations, difficulties, and progress and then mines the data.\nTOP! is the result of a long co-design process between designers, makers, therapists, doctors, and patients’ families, which puts the design back into empathy by constructing a Human Centered design process which unites therapeutic and scientific needs.\nAs scientific aspects become more vertical and the technology increasingly complex, the design role must relate therapy and tools to serve the individual’s needs, listen and provide new combinations. While important, technology is a tool within the design process and not the solution.\nTOP! includes three video games categories: learning (cause/effect; focus; vertical/horizontal shifts), cognitive and playability. The suite consists of a software developed by Dotdotdot designed with an easy-to-use User Experience and User Interface, which allows the control and management of the single-game session by the therapist. A tablet-using therapist can modify parameters such as time, focus or speed of the output on the screen. All sessions are recorded and viewed through a comparative DataViz, obtaining individual child statistics which are compared with other patients. Fondazione TOG is testing TOP! on more than 20 children between 3 and 12 years old.\nFor five years Fondazione TOG, OpenDot and Dotdotdot are co-designing to innovate the health and care field. As part of the successful partnership, has been established a Co-design method for health and care that includes a manifesto with a vision, and tools to facilitate the design process.\nIndeed, there was much mutual professional, and personal growth as working in this area required attention to the fragility, empathy and responsibility of everyone in the pediatric disability field.\nTOP! Together to Play project is another excellent example of how to put what we have learned into practice. It is the result of a co-design, by several players, with different skills, working together to overcome disciplinary differences.\nOnce the objectives and the design context were defined, one of the first steps was to meet Prof. Sabrina Signorini (Centro di Neuroftalmologia dell’Età Evolutiva, Fondazione Istituto Neurologico “C. Mondino”) [Centre for Evolutionary Age Neurophthalmology, “C. Mondino” Neurological Institute Foundation] in the hospital and observe how a Neuro-Ophthalmological diagnosis was made.\nThe User Experience designed by TOG and OpenDot emerged from a study of details within the reference context, providing fundamental insights for the prototype and implementation phase.\nTherapists, clinicians and families who participated in the design sessions within the Fab Lab could empathise and become creators and designers of the final solution.\nIt was possible to think together openly and comprehensively about diagnostic and therapeutic needs and how design and technology could provide an adequate response.\nEye-tracking is not a technological innovation nor is the use of video games for educational purposes in rehabilitation therapies, but TOP! innovation originated from the intuition that comes from comparison and observation.\nApplied Game, eye-tracking, and innovation\nBy analysing already-available-products and observing and closely studying the rehabilitation practices, the need to separate the patient’s device from that of the operator/therapist was identified.\nCurrent market solutions have a duplicity problem, which causes disorientation to a child who is asked to use their eyes to interact with the device when the therapist accesses it using the keyboard and touchscreen.\nProviding separate devices for caregivers and care receivers allows the perception of tool exclusivity. The child feels that the device belongs to them; they create an avatar and play in an extremely personal and exclusive way.\nThis allows the caregiver to interact in real-time and evaluate oculomotor movements, control the position and flow of the child’s gaze without disturbing the process.\nAnother fundamental aspect of the project concerns the collection of game session data for qualitative and quantitative rehabilitation analysis.\nData analysis and alternative use conditions\nOcular tracking devices have been used for years to map the eye’s main movements (saccades, focus and following), but under “protected” and replicable conditions.\nWith the help of the PHuSeLab (University of Milan), the goal is trying to extend the use conditions and the application boundaries of the data generated by the device.\nFirst step of the trial’s idea was to simulate traditional and replicable research conditions, such as suggesting an identical video to different subjects or to the same patient at different times. This enabled the evaluation of motor evolution along with therapy development. The objective is to evaluate the progress of subjects using data from different work sessions. This includes domestic and non-hospital sessions, and more familiar and comfortable environments — data that would be difficult to compare in a standard situation.\nAlgorithms based on Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence help us understand if it is possible to generate models from a heterogeneous database. It would be possible to guide caregivers during the treatment by providing them with real-time insight at the end of each exercise or session.\nA final, even more challenging, experimental aspect will be to aggregate the database that represents the patient’s emotional state. This is usually difficult to detect, especially when it comes to children with cerebral palsy or complex neurological diseases. In this case, pupil dilation-linked muscular movements, which are directly connected to the subject’s emotional states under the same lighting conditions will be used. This type of data is vital for giving direct feedback to the therapist during the session on the subject’s emotional comfort state, and understanding the post-session analyses.\nAlessandro Masserdotti, CTO and co-founder of Dotdotdot and OpenDot, unveiled the suite for the first time at the TecnoTOG scientific conference (Palazzo Reale, Milan, 5 October 2019) and explained its innovative aspects.", "domain": "health"}

Par for the course during pregnancy.\nSee, as your estrogen and progesterone levels rise, they cause changes in your body that boost libido. Estrogen in particular, which serves such pregnancy-related functions as boosting blood flow to your uterus (and to your entire pelvis), also increases vaginal lubrication and heightens sensitivity in your breasts and nipples.(sex advice)\nIt's a righteous recipe for romance. But the same hormones can also conspire against you, especially in the beginning when nausea and fatigue can send you to bed for an entirely different reason. And toward the end, you may just feel too huge, unwieldy and, again, tired. (That's why months four to six or so are often called the \"honeymoon\" trimester.)\nSo where does that leave you? The X factor in the sex equation is the relationship between your changing moods and your changing body: Just as every woman's pregnancy is unique, so is every pregnant woman's sex drive. If your spirit is willing but fears or misinformation are holding you back, this advice can help you relax.\n1. Sex is usually safe:\nIf you do want to have sex, embrace the ubiquitous three-word Nike slogan. As long as your pregnancy is progressing normally, you can have sex as often as you like (some exceptions may include a history of miscarriage or preterm labor).\nBe aware that it's pretty common for some women to experience bleeding during intercourse, especially in the first trimester. This is caused by the normal swelling of capillaries in the cervix, which can burst when irritated during sex. While such spotting or bleeding is generally nothing to worry about, you should still mention it to your doctor or midwife.\nWhat's more, there's typically no chance of hurting the baby during sex because the amniotic fluid and your cervix protect him. But one caution: If you have oral sex, your partner should not blow air into your vagina, as during pregnancy this can cause an air bubble to block a blood vessel.\n2. Sex can still be comfortable:\nThe old standby missionary position for intercourse may not work for you now. Instead, try these options:\n3. Spooning: Lie side by side with him behind you. This makes for more shallow penetration.\n4. You on top: There's no pressure on your belly, and you can control the speed and depth of penetration.\n5. Side of the bed: You lie on your back on the edge of the bed with your knees bent and feet on the edge. He stands facing you. It's like classic missionary, but he won't be resting his body weight on you.\n6. Living room love: Kneel on a couch with your belly facing the back of it; use your arms for support. He penetrates from behind.\n7. You will have sex again after the baby comes:\nJust be aware that with the sudden drop of estrogen after delivery, your libido can plummet and the lining of your vagina thins out, making intercourse feel like you're losing your virginity all over again. This can be particularly true if you're breastfeeding.\nMost docs recommend that you wait six weeks until after giving birth (even for oral sex).

So far, research does not show that one is preferable over the other. Also, although parents can encourage a child to suck a dummy/pacifier rather than a thumb, they can’t control which the child will prefer.\nThe advantages of using a dummy/pacifier include being able to control when your child is allowed to use it and being able to take the pacifier away when it is no longer appropriate.\nAn advantage of thumb sucking is that it may not interfere with breast-feeding and children usually stop on their own between the ages of 3 to 5. But if thumb sucking continues once a child starts school, dental problems may develop. Also, it may be more difficult for a child to stop thumb sucking than using a dummy/pacifier.\nTalk to your doctor about how long you should wait before you introduce a dummy/pacifier to a breast-feeding infant.\nKeep in mind that there is no reason to encourage thumb sucking or dummy/pacifier use in infants who do not show a need. The sucking instinct in these infants is satisfied through breast- or bottle-feeding.\nHow can I explain to my child the damage caused by thumb sucking?\nMotivate your child by talking to him or her about why it is important to stop thumb sucking. Explain that stopping will help him or her have a beautiful smile and nice teeth. Let your child know that continuing will cause problems with how his or her teeth grow.\n- Use a mirror to show your child the changes happening to his or her teeth or mouth shape.\n- Talk about the unhealthy germs that are on our hands and how the child puts the germs in his or her mouth by thumb sucking.\n- Talk to your child about becoming a “big boy” or “big girl” by stopping thumb sucking. Remind your child that he or she may be teased for continuing thumb sucking.\nMake sure you choose the right time to have this discussion. Children often suck their thumbs to relieve stress. Picking a stress-free time will help the child succeed. Also, a child probably needs to be 4 or 5 in order to understand your reasoning and to be able to cooperate in this process.\nHow can I stop my child thumb sucking at night?\nThumb-sucking at night is the most difficult habit to break. It may take up to 3 months before your child is able to fall asleep without thumb sucking. Try offering a favourite stuffed animal or putting a hand puppet on your child’s hand at bedtime as a reminder. Gently explain to your child that if he or she continues to suck the thumb during the night, the habit will not go away and the changes to the mouth will continue to occur.\nRemember your child needs your empathy and encouragement throughout the process.. Acknowledge that this is a difficult habit to break. If you are consistent, patient, and positive, your child will be more likely to succeed. This is your child’s habit to break, and he or she must be willing to cooperate. Do not force your child to comply.\nWhat should I look out for?\nNot all children suck their thumb in the same way. Some suck passively with the thumb gently resting inside their mouth, this is less likely to cause severe damage to teeth and mouth. However, some children are aggressive thumb-suckers, placing pressure on their mouth or teeth, the habit may cause problems with tooth alignment and proper mouth growth. Some children also favour sucking a finger over a thumb, this can also have a detrimental effect on oral development.\nExtended sucking affects both the teeth and the shape of the face and may lead to a need for orthodontic treatment in the future.\nWhen should I seek professional help?\nIf, after a period of time, you find that a combination of home remedies and encouragement is not working please seek professional help. You do not want your child’s oral health compromised so always seek advice if you have concerns and if your child continues to thumb suck once they start losing their milk teeth.", "domain": "health"}

Not to mention the intense stress this can bring on the family.\nSo, what can we do to help?\nMy mission is to help children regain control and improve their lives through specifically-designed child therapy services.\nWhat is child therapy?\nTherapy with children can be very different than therapy with adults, although the goals are usually similar.\nMany children are brought to my office here in Newport Beach, California, because of recent changes in behavior (e.g. aggression, tearfulness, disobedience) and/or stressors in the environment (e.g. moving to a new place, bullying, divorce).\nOften, children are brought by the parent or guardian with feelings of resistance about doing therapy, and so building trust is the first step. Depending on your child’s needs, therapy may range from discussing their struggles (traditional talk therapy) to playing games or drawing (play therapy). Play therapy provides children with a task-oriented activity that helps them relax and speak freely with the therapist. This also provides excellent opportunities to talk about feelings brought on by the activity, such as frustration or anger.\nAlthough the child is my focus as a clinician, I believe that change in child therapy also involves supporting the family. This can range from proving information about local resources to group or family therapy.\nSo, how do I run child therapy?\nHow does Dr. Montgomery run child therapy?\nYour child’s mental health is my priority.\nAs we work together to help your child, my focus will be on the child as well as the family.\nMy approach to therapy is grounded in the latest research. I prioritize the needs of you and your child to carefully design a treatment plan. This plan serves as the base for improving your child’s wellbeing over the course of our time together, with each step involving research-based interventions.\nI utilize techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on your child’s experience through their thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT is one of the most effective and evidence-based treatment options available for children with mental illness (Cohen, Berliner, & Mannarino, 2010; Ishikawa, Okajima, Matsuoka, & Sakano, 2007; Sze & Wood, 2008). This style of therapy allows me to quickly identify and address the child’s problems as they move towards wellbeing. I will also utilize Family Systems, Psychodynamic and Humanistic principles into the therapy. These methods of treatment focus on exploring deep emotional experiences, trauma, and more pervasive issues.\nAs we work together, your child will learn how to:\n- Notice their emotions\n- Communicate needs and feelings\n- Identify unhelpful ways of thinking\n- Change unhealthy habits\n- Develop deeper feelings of empathy for others\n- Improve organizational skills\n- Make friends and improve social skills\nIn therapy, children learn healthy self-expression\nMy practice also includes strategies derived from Parent Child Interactive Therapy (PCIT), which involves both parent and child. This modality examines patterns of behavior, attachment and communication styles. The goal is to enhance the parent-child relationship and provide parents with effective strategies for managing their child's behavior. I pay special attention to the way a child reacts around the family and provide feedback to parents. When possible, I may coach parents about helpful ways of responding to the child’s behavior.\nSome examples of this might include:\n- Changes in vocal tone to increase child’s feelings of safety\n- Identifying triggers that evoke strong emotions\n- Increased attunement to the child’s experience\n- Adapting requests to promote feelings of autonomy\n- Over the course of treatment, I carefully record your child’s progress and adjust as needed. I am heavily invested in improving your child’s life and the wellbeing of your family.\nWellbeing is possible. I believe that children have the power to make real change in their lives – and I want to help them make the first step.\nInterested? Let’s connect!\nIf you or your child are interested in therapy services, contact me as soon as possible. I would love to hear from you and answer any questions you may have about my practice.\nIt is never too late for your child to receive treatment. I believe I can help make a difference in your child’s life.\nTogether, we can help them reach their potential.\nRead about Dr. Montgomery\nDr. Montgomery holds dual certifications in Clinical Psychology (California Board of Psychology PSY28475) and Family Therapy (California Board of Behavioral Sciences MFT49608).

It seems as if men will happily discuss virtually every aspect there is to discuss about their sex lives, other than that particular topic or those which are loosely similar. Despite being such a no-go subject, erectile dysfunction, or ED for short, is an incredibly common condition which affects men of all ages, all over the world. But what is ED really, and why are men so reluctant to discuss it, or worse still, seek help and admit they may have a problem? Well, to help answer these questions and to help bring you up to speed, here’s a look at 5 facts about erectile dysfunction that not a lot of people may have been aware of.\nErectile dysfunction is very common – Though men are often ashamed to admit that they have a problem, erectile dysfunction is actually very common. The condition refers to problems with sustaining and maintaining an erection and currently over 100 million men across the globe struggle with it to some degree, though some more so than others.\nED is not the same as a poor libido – A lot of men who all of a sudden begin experiencing a drop in libido, or no sex drive at all, will often diagnose themselves incorrectly and will believe that they are struggling with ED. In reality however, ED suffers almost always have a very healthy libido, which can make the condition even more frustrating. With ED, it is often the body which lets the sufferer down.\nED symptoms are very easily diagnosed – For those of you who happen to still be unsure as to what ED is, the symptoms are generally considered very simple to diagnose. Generally speaking, symptoms include:\n- Erections which are not sustainable for long enough to complete sexual activity\n- The inability to achieve an erection at all\n- Erections which are too flaccid to complete sexual activity\nA lot of men will find it very easy to achieve an erection and will therefore think that they are not struggling with erectile dysfunction. However, ED suffers can actually achieve erections with no problems at all, but if a person is unable to sustain an erection, or achieve a fully hard erection, they can still be suffering with the condition.\nMen aged 40 – 70 are at the highest risk – Though ED can affect men of any age, generally speaking it is men aged between 40 and 70 who are at the highest risk of suffering with ED.\nED is very treatable – The good news is that ED is now more treatable than ever, thanks primarily to the remedies you probably know as being Viagra or Cialis or Levitra. Viagra is made from the generic drug sildenafil, Cialis is made from the generic tadalafil, and Levitra is the brand name for the generic vardenafil. They are all designed to help enhance circulation to the erectile tissue in the genitals, and subsequently allow an erection to occur and sustain and maintained as well.\nIf you have not tried one or more of these solutions, they are similar but different, and they have different effects and possible side effects. We would strongly urge you to not give up and to try an ed trial pack and decide which of these medications you prefer. And do consider that Cialis or tadalafil has an active period of 36 or more hours, while Viagra or sildenafil can really do they job with an active life of 4 hours.", "domain": "health"}

Everything you need to know before you buy omnadren is found right here. From proper usage and dosage, to positive and negative effects, to where to find this drug and how much to pay. This is your one stop for all things omnadren!\nWhen you decide to buy omnadren, you need to know exactly what you are getting.\nOmnadren 250, a four-ester testosterone, made up of testosterone propionate, testosterone phenylpropionate, testosterone isocaproate and testosterone caproate, is a cousin to the more well known Sustanon. Both drugs are good versions of testosterone if you are looking for bulk. Often, when you buy omnadren, you are getting more bang for your buck than sustanon, since it is commonly about half the price, and faster acting in most cases. It's been found, that due to the longer esters in the compound working faster, omnadren causes a quicker increase in testosterone levels than sustanon. However, there are consequences to this faster acting drug.\nYou need to know the effects both good and bad when you buy omnadren.\nOmnadren, as with any testosterone carries a highly androgenic component (causing virilization) and with the faster increase in testosterone levels, there is also a faster increase in aromatization, the buildup of estrogenic hormones that cause water retention, oily skin, acne, increased body and facial hair, and aggressive tendencies. If you plan to buy omnadren, also be aware of its tendency to build higher DHT (dihydrotestosterone) levels, which when formed in the scalp has been shown to promote male pattern baldness. On the plus side, when you buy omnadren, the nitrogen retention in the muscles causes good protein synthesis and storage, giving this drug a strong rating for bulking up and gaining strength.", "domain": "health"}

Questions about our formula? Our highly trained specialists would love to hear from you. Contact us anytime by phone or email.\nYou may not know it, but in the next few minutes, you're going to learn about an easy 10 second addition to your daily routine, that's doctor approved and backed by peer reviewed clinical studies. .\nI am going to show you how this simple habit has been shown to lower blood sugar and help you live a healthier and more active life. Here are some of the positive results that this habit has achieved for others:\nMy name is Ryan Richards, and I'm the president and CEO of GlucoRemedy. We specialize exclusively in the research of natural remedies to reduce symptoms related to high blood sugar.In fact, we don't offer any products that aren't related to helping you lower your blood sugar and reduce the complications related to blood sugar and insulin problems. If you suffer from high blood sugar you’ll want to hear how Jerry Lindsdale overcame his need for insulin after being diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic.\nYou see...Jerry worked as a school teacher for over 25 years until he started to have problems with his vision. He also began having to leave classroom frequently to go to the bathroom.Even though he was close to retirement he just couldn’t do it anymore due to the extreme fatigue. He started to develop neuropathy in both feet and his lab tests showed his kidneys were starting to become affected. The combination of all of these symptoms forced him to leave his job as a teacher 6 years earlier than he expected to.\nBlood Sugar Problems Like Diabetes Are At Epidemic Levels. In fact research shows that within the next 5 years over 50% of the US population will suffer from Type 2 Diabetes or Pre Diabetes.\nIt's also a fact that over 30% of all people over the age of 65 have type 2 diabetes.\nJerry didn't think much about all this until he started experiencing the blurred vision and frequent urination. And that's when he went to see his doctor. Blood tests confirmed that he was in fact a type 2 diabetic and medications were prescribed. They helped initially, but soon stopped working.\n\"Once you start insulin you’ll be on it for the rest of your life, but we have no other choice.\" were his doctor's last words as he wrote out the prescription for Lantus. All he could do for Jerry was prescribe diabetic medications and over the next few years more and more where added each time he visited his doctor. And as expected additional medications were prescribed like blood pressure, cholesterol and neuropathy pain medications.\nWhat's more, Jerry hated taking all those pills and having to stick himself with needles, not to mention the low blood sugar episodes that occasionally occurred with the Lantus. But if he wanted to live, he had no choice but to follow his doctors orders. Even worse, things just seemed to keep progressing, like clockwork every 3 months when he went for his checkup his blood sugar was more out of control than before even though he had been given more medication at the previous appointment. And that's when he became desperate.\nJerry began searching online to find out what his options were, and how he could take back some control over his health.\nHe found that some people were getting results with things like bitter melon and cinnamon. Others were using special diets but some of the diets where hard to stick to.\nThe medical community treats the condition with drugs like Metformin, Actos, Glipizide and of course Insulin. Doctors recognize the need for additional solutions to this wide spread condition but their busy practices make it difficult to stay on top of the current nutritional research and drug companies spend billions of dollars each year marketing to doctors.\nJerry found a doctor who treated his high blood sugar with a special diet.\nHe spent several months going into his office each week to check in, but he found the diet was too restrictive and he just couldn’t picture himself staying on it for the rest of his life. Not to mention it was a pain getting in to see the Doctor every week, and although he did see some benefits from following his advice he just couldn't see himself sticking with it forever.\nSensing Jerry's frustration his doctor finally suggested that he find some good supplements and gave him some ingredient recommendations. He recommended things like Gymnema Sylvestre and Alpha Lipoic Acid. He also told Jerry that in order for the supplements to really have an effect, Jerry needed to take them every day. He ended up taking 8 different supplements to get the dosages the doctor recommended but it was costing him over $300 a month.\nThen one day while searching on the internet, he found GlucoRemedy. And to his surprise it contained everything his doctor recommended and a whole lot more. The science behind it was solid and even his doctor agreed that GlucoRemedy was truly a powerful formulation.\nGlucoRemedy contains the most powerful and clinically proven ingredients for helping regulate blood sugar naturally. Chromium, bitter melon, banaba and other plant extracts.And every ingredient has been clinically proven to lower blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity. And to Jerry's delight, GlucoRemedy was a lot less expensive then taking all of those supplements individually.\nHe showed the ingredients to his doctor and he recommended that Jerry continue using the product, as he was experiencing wonderful results. Plus, he started recommending GlucoRemedy to his other patients.\nThe following is the letter we received from Jerry.\nDear Makers of GlucoRemedy,\nAfter spending years suffering from diabetes, thanks to you, I have finally found an effective product to naturally manage my blood sugar. After just 4 months on the GlucoRemedy, I have been able to get off of my insulin completely.\nThe days of uncontrollable blood sugar and suffering the highs and lows are over. Each month on your product has consistently lowered my blood sugar and my doctor finally agreed I didn't need the insulin anymore.\nI have been off of Lantus for over 3 months now and have not had any problems. I've lost over 20 pounds and I feel great. I am able to do all the things I couldn't do before due to a lack of energy and I have started substitute teaching again. something I never thought I would be able to do. I am just so encouraged by the great results I have achieved.\nI am able to travel again with my wife and we recently took a trip to Greece, something we always wanted to do and now she's having trouble keeping up with me!\nI can't thank you enough for this life-changing product, I was really beginning to lose hope. I would recommend this amazing product to anyone suffering from high blood sugar, it has definitely worked for me. Sincerely,\nOnly Clinically Proven Ingredients Are Included In Our Formulation\nTo start, GlucoRemedy only includes ingredients that have a proven track record for either lowering blood sugar or increasing insulin sensitivity. We've only added nutrients with proven results, not theories.\nMany blood sugar supplements contain ingredients that are not backed up by real scientific evidence. Herbs and plant extracts that have not been shown to be effective in real scientific peer reviewed journals. Our Formulation is backed by dozens of research studies proving the effectiveness of our ingredients. So when you take GlucoRemedy you'll feel the difference and you'll see improvements in blood sugar management.\nOur formulation contains the powerful plant extract Gymnema Sylvestre.\nGymnema sylvestre is regarded as one of the plants with potent blood sugar lowering properties.\nA link has been observed between obesity, Gymnemic acids and blood sugar regulation.\nThe atomic arrangement of Gymnemic acid molecules is similar to that of glucose molecules. And these molecules fill the receptor locations on the taste buds thereby preventing its activation by sugar molecules present in the food, this helps reduce the cravings for sugar. A common problem in those with insulin resistance.\nSimilarly, Gymnemic acid molecules fill the receptor location in the absorptive external layers of the intestine preventing the sugar molecules absorption by the intestine, resulting in low blood sugar levels.\nThere is minimal to nil downside in trying Gymnema Sylvestre and the individual results have the potential to be quite significant. The daily dose of GlucoRemedy contains 100mg and it's fast-acting: In a recent literature review a Japanese Scientist confirmed the anti-sweet activity of gymnemic acid, the inhibition of intestinal sugar absorption and insulin secretion by gymnemic acids resulting in an anti-diabetic effect.\nPlus, GlucoRemedy also contains another potent blood sugar lowering ingredient Licorice Root.\nLicorice Root was chosen as the \"Medicinal plant of 2012,\" the root has been treasured in traditional healing since ancient times.\nResearchers at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin have now discovered that licorice root also contains substances with an anti-diabetic effect. These amorfrutins not only reduce blood sugar, they are also anti-inflammatory and are very well tolerated. Making them suitable for use in the treatment of complex metabolic disorders like diabetes and heart disease.\nIn other words, The reduced glucose level created by taking licorice root prevents the development of insulin resistance. Leading to better control of blood sugar.\nThese amazing ingredients are powerful in and of themselves, but Bitter Melon also known as Mormordica charantia adds another proven element that can significantly reduce blood sugar.\nBitter Melon has acquired a reputation for effective diabetes management. In a case study series,diabetic patients were given aqueous extract or dried powder of M. charantia fruit (Bitter Melon), as a single dose or 3 times per day respectively. After 3 weeks the extract and powder caused a 54% and 25% reduction in mean blood glucose respectively. Also HbA1c was reduced from an average of 8.37 to 6.1%.\nOur research team scoured the medical literature and found solid evidence supporting specific herbal extracts and compounds with proven benefits in blood sugar regulation and improvement of insulin sensitivity.With these, our researchers, scientists and doctors formulated a proprietary blend of vitamins and herbal extracts. Below are some of the powerful ingredients in GlucoRemedy.\nOur manufacturing facility is FDA approved and adheres to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) for supplement manufacturers. Our process guarantees the potency, purity and quality in 10 different ways:\nOur Ingredients are Backed By Hundreds of Clinical Studies...Here Are Just a Few.\n\"We conclude that, in this population of elderly, diabetic patients undergoing rehabilitation, dietary supplementation with chromium is beneficial in moderating glucose intolerance. In addition, chromium intake appears to lower plasma lipid levels.\" International Journal of Vitamins and Nutrition Research 2004\n\" Our results suggest that banaba extract may be useful for prevention and treatment of hyperglycemia and obesity in type II diabetics. \" Journal of Nutrition-2001\n\"Guggul supports cholesterol metabolism, and exerts an antioxidant effect, which supports the normal oxidation levels of cholesterol in the body.\" University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas\n\"A group of California researchers explored the impact of bitter melon extracts in diabetic and normal rats.

In fact, bitter melon extract reduced blood glucose more than did metformin (67% and 63% vs 54%, respectively).\" Journal of Medicinal Food\n\"In obese participants, 20mg of zinc daily for 8 weeks in obese adolescents who were insulin resistant noted improvements in all biomarkers of glucose metabolism and inflammatory parameters, and a beneficial change was seen in oxidative biomarkers as well as most of the lipid panel.\" Journal of Metabolic Syndrome and Related Disorders\n\"In a cohort study, 32-48mg Glucosol (1% Corosolic Acid) reduced blood glucose in diabetic persons after 15 days by up to 30% (soft gel 46mg) or 20% (hard gel 46mg). \" Journal of Ethnopharmacology\n\"The binding of the amorfrutin molecules activates various genes that reduce the plasma concentration of certain fatty acids and glucose.

The stretchy patch can be applied to the skin and may help clinicians to monitor and diagnose various conditions, including blockages that could cause an infarct. The patch contains an array of ultrasound transducers that can measure blood flow in vessels directly beneath it and the ultrasound beam can also be steered to assess vessels that are nearby, but not directly below.\nMonitoring blood flow in specific vessels can help clinicians to diagnose various cardiovascular diseases. For instance, measuring changes in blood flow in the carotid artery could show that someone is at a risk of stroke, and help to initiate treatment before a stroke occurs. However, current technology to accurately measure blood flow can be inconvenient, invasive, requiring a qualified technician to use an ultrasound probe to investigate the target.\nThe flexible device contains a 12 x 12 grid of tiny ultrasound transducers embedded in a stretchy polymer. The transducers can be controlled to activate together, allowing the researchers to investigate vessels that are as deep as 14 cm beneath the skin. In another mode, the transducers will activate at different times, causing the ultrasound beam to be steered, which allows the user to investigate vessels that do not lie directly beneath the patch.\n“With the phased array technology, we can manipulate the ultrasound beam in the way that we want,” said Muyang Lin, another researcher involved in the study. “This gives our device multiple capabilities: monitoring central organs as well as blood flow, with high resolution. This would not be possible using just one transducer.”\nRead the full article at: www.medgadget.com", "domain": "health"}

Modalities currently offered are as follows:\n- Deep Tissue Massage– This is for anyone who has need for focused therapeutic work, and is especially beneficial for injury recovery, addressing muscular imbalances due to excessive tension/weakness, increasing range of motion, working on the deeper muscular structures of the body, and for regions where deeper pressure is beneficial. Please note that the term ‘deep’ is not intended to imply ‘painful’. I always work within the client’s comfort level as it is communicated to me.\n- Myofascial Release– This is a broad term used to describe a variety of techniques dealing with the many layers of fascia or ‘connective tissue’ in the body. As with deep tissue massage, myofasical release is especially beneficial for focused therapeutic work and injury recovery, as well as addressing long-held movement and postural patterns and tendencies, breaking up adhesions in the tissues, scar release, ‘unwinding’ restricted movement to increase range of motion, and to free up any tissues that may feel bound or ‘glued’ together.\n- Traditional Thai Massage- Thai massage has ancient origins, and is ever-increasing in popularity among Westerners. After just one session you will know why! This modality is practiced on a supportive foam mat on the floor with the client fully-clothed in comfortable, moveable clothing. It combines deep tissue/myofascial massage techniques, with passive movement, stretching, and energy work. It is truly a massage for your entire being. You will leave feeling grounded, yet clear, and with greater ease of movement. Traditionally sessions can go anywhere from 2-4 hours, but I will accommodate time needs as is best for each client. However, for a full-body experience I do recommend 90 minutes at the very least if possible.\n- Swedish/Relaxation Massage- This is generally the most widely-known massage modality, and elements of it exist within most bodywork techniques. This is a great massage for anyone who needs to rest and relax, would like a full-body massage, suffers from chronic fatigue or many other sleep disorders, is feeling disconnected from their body and could use a more gentle approach to therapeutic touch, or simply feels as though they need to be ‘wrung out’.\nYoga and Movement\n*One of the most effective ways to assure that your bodywork session results last, is by engaging in a healthy movement practice. This can be accomplished in a number of ways, and I am happy to speak with each client individually to see what feels the most appropriate for them.\n*Please note that there is no experience required for private classes*\n- Private Movement Classes– This would involve a one-on-one session in which we would discuss the client’s movement aspirations and challenges, and I would create a movement plan intended to help regain balance and efficiency in the body. This may include yoga postures, stretching and strengthening techniques, and certain movement techniques that I have gleaned over the years in my study of dance and movement therapy.\n- Private Yoga Classes– This would involve a one-on-one, or small group (2-3) session, in which we can take close look at some of the yogic practices (mainly postures and breathwork) that may be suitable for the client(s). We can compose a series of yoga postures for the client to take home and practice, meeting every couple of months or so, or we can meet as often as once per week depending on the client’s goals.\n- Tidbits– I like to offer a few basic suggestions at the end of each bodywork session that can serve as very simple maintenance techniques for each client depending on their particular needs. Things such as stretching, breathing, hydration, etc., but under no circumstances would I ever force information upon anyone who was uninterested, so please take my suggestions as you will, but listen to your own body first and foremost.", "domain": "health"}

Native to southeast Asia, kratom has been used traditionally by the locals to alleviate pain and provide energy to get through a grueling days work. (1)\nThe effects of kratom are attributed to it's 2 main alkaloids mitragynine and it's main metabolite, 7-hydroxymitragynine which is substantially more potent than mitragynine itself. The psychoactive effects of kratom can probably be attributed mainly to these two compounds, however there have been over 40 compounds isolated from the plant, many with potential therapeutic benefit.\nIn addition to action at the μ-opioid receptor, kratom has been shown to have an effect at the α-2-adrenergic receptor, acting opposite it's chemical cousin yohimbine, and blocking the release of adrenaline. These means that kratom has action at the two receptor sites that are currently used to treat opioid dependence via the drugs methedone and lofexidine. (3)\nThe above graph showing a reduced pain response using 7-hydroxymitragynine as compared with mitragynine and even morphine milligram for milligram in this animal study.\nWhat are the Possible Side Effects?\nKratom is purported to have several adverse side effects.\nThe most obvious and avoidable adverse side effect is dependence. Dependence and subsequent withdrawal symptoms have been widely reported with continuous use and/or abuse of kratom.\nIf you are like me, then you have heard that kratom causes hair loss. For no lack of trying, I didn't come across any evidence of this whatsoever. Anecdotal reports were inconsistent, with most people (myself included) reporting no noticeable shedding with kratom use. With this being said, it is not impossible that adding in any sort of chemical compound into your body could cause some hair loss. Many drugs and other things are known to cause temporary shedding, (6) which is the most likely sort of hair loss that this plant could cause.\nRespiratory depression is always cited in connection to opioids, and the FDA has listed respiratory depression as a concern with kratom. No toxicity or fatality dose data is available on kratom due to lack of scientific study, but risk for respiratory depression seems to be less than true opiates like morphine. Available evidence shows almost all cases of kratom-related death involve one or more contributing compounds. (5)\nWhile there is a lot of anecdotal data at this point, there is not a ton of conclusive scientific evidence around long-term effects of kratom use.\nThere is promising evidence to suggest that the compounds found in the kratom plant could become the basis for a new generation of opioid-type drugs that are less addictive and less side-effect ridden. (4)\nMany companies purport different psychoactive effects resulting from different strains of kratom. This is mostly marketing in my opinion. I have tried many different strains from all sorts of different companies and suppliers, and they all feel basically the same to me. Of course that is just my opinion and maybe it's wrong. The Maeng Da strains I've tried seem to be the most potent on a dry plant weight basis, but this too could just be my incorrect human perception.\nI am not a doctor, and this article should not be misconstrued to be medical advice.

At Raleigh Associated Medical Specialists, the providers at RAMS offer expert diagnoses and treatments to regulate your cholesterol levels and improve your overall health. If you live in or near Raleigh, North Carolina, and are concerned about your heart health, call our office for testing and treatment today.\nCholesterol Q & A\nWhat is cholesterol?\nCholesterol is a fatty substance produced in your liver. It’s one of the essential components of every cell in your body, and it supports your body’s ability to make hormones, acids, and other substances needed to digest food. It also helps your body process and uses vitamin D.\nThere are two types of cholesterol in your body. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, sometimes referred to as the “bad cholesterol”, is carried through your body by your blood and is deposited where you need it to generate new cells.\nHigh-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, sometimes called the “good” cholesterol, also travels through your bloodstream, but it’s responsible for picking up any excess LDL cholesterol that your body doesn’t need. It carries the LDL cholesterol back to your liver where it’s processed and removed from the body.\nWhy is high cholesterol bad?\nYour body produces all the cholesterol it needs to support cell growth and optimal body function. However, when you eat a high-fat diet, your body ends up with more cholesterol than it needs. When your LDL cholesterol is too high — or if your HDL is too low — your HDL cholesterol can’t keep up, and the excess fatty substance is left on the walls of your blood vessels. The cholesterol hardens into a plaque, which narrows your blood vessels and contributes to a variety of cardiovascular health issues.\nHow do I know if I have high cholesterol?\nUnfortunately, high cholesterol doesn’t cause any noticeable symptoms until it’s too late and you have a heart attack or other cardiovascular problem. At Raleigh Associated Medical Specialists, our healthcare specialists include a lipid panel in your bloodwork for your annual physical. If this simple blood test reveals unhealthy cholesterol levels, you and the providers at RAMS can take action to lower your cholesterol, improve your health, and reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease.\nHow is high cholesterol treated?\nThe providers at RAMS starts treatment by suggesting changes to your lifestyle that will improve your cholesterol levels. He may recommend that you change your diet to include more fresh vegetables and lean proteins while reducing your intake of red meat and high-fat foods. He also suggests adding at least 30 minutes of exercise to your day, which will help your body use cholesterol correctly.\nWhen lifestyle changes aren’t enough to reduce your cholesterol, the providers at RAMS prescribe a cholesterol-lowering medication, such as statins.\nIf you’re concerned about your cholesterol levels or have a family history of high cholesterol, call or schedule an appointment for testing today.", "domain": "health"}

It not only soothes the baby’s muscles and makes the bones stronger, but the most important benefit a massage offers is the bond that develops between a mother and her baby. Massages have therapeutic properties and it aids in the overall growth and development of a baby.\nFor hundreds of years, mothers have been using various oils when massaging their babies. Babies have very delicate skin and using just about any sort of oil would not do them good. It has been scientifically proven that massaging a baby with olive oil provides various health benefits. Massaging your baby with olive oil improves skin hydration. Olive oil is extracted from fruits of olive trees which are free from diseases, harvested at the right time and processed immediately- this is the extra virgin olive oil. Olive oil produced mechanically but free from chemicals is the virgin olive oil.\nAlso read: Benefits Of Olive Oil During Pregnancy\nBenefits of massaging your baby with olive oil\n#1. Great for your baby’s skin\nOlive oil is like a lotion and the perfect moisturiser for the baby’s skin. It is known to make the skin smooth, healthy and soft. A good massage in gentle, circular motions promotes healthy blood circulation, thus making the skin glow. Unlike many other oils, olive oil is not sticky. Hence, it can be used as a massage oil for all seasons.\n#2. Psychological effects\nUsing olive oil while massaging your baby promotes relaxation, reduces instances of crying, and also has a very positive effect on the hormones which causes stress in the baby. It soothes the baby as the oil has a very calming effect since it is light and not heavy unlike other oils. Thus, this helps the baby to sleep better.\nAlso read: Benefits Of Olive Oil For Your Baby\n#3. In case of skin problems\nOlive oil is safe for a baby’s skin. However, babies with dry skin should not use olive oil. Doctors do not recommend olive oil use on the baby if there is a family history of skin related problems or if the baby has eczema. Using olive oil in eczema worsens the problem. However, olive oil is loaded with Vitamin E, oleic acid and squalene that are very important and useful in maintaining skin tone and also promotes muscle and bone health. A baby’s skin can be easily damaged with exposure to the sun. A gentle application of olive oil can help repair the damaged skin cells. These days children’s skin gets affected due to the rise in pollution levels and toxicity in the environment. Applying a little olive oil can protect the skin from extreme damage. Olive oil has properties that neutralise free radicals in the skin which are created by harmful UV rays and pollutants in the air.\n#4. For baby’s hair\nOlive oil can be used safely to strengthen baby’s hair and make frizzy hair soft. Many newborn babies suffer from a condition called cradle cap which is a form of dandruff that causes flaky skin on the baby’s head. If it is not treated it can become severe and can cause yellow patches as well. Using olive oil can help soften cradle cap. The oil hydrates the baby’s scalp and gets rid of that flaky layer of skin. One should massage the oil gently on the baby’s hair and comb it with a soft brush. After that it should be left on for about 20 minutes and washed off properly with a mild baby shampoo.\nAlso read: Benefits of Almond Oil For Babies\n#5. Treating diaper rashes\nOlive oil has been proven to act as a wonderful remedy to remove diaper rashes and also to avert them. Two tablespoons of olive oil, mixed with 1 tablespoon of water can be gently massaged onto the buttocks and around the genital area of your baby before diapering the baby. This formula can be applied if the baby already has developed a diaper rash. The oil soothes the affected area and makes the skin less irritated, with the rash disappearing in a couple of days.\n#6. Application on lips\nApplying olive oil on the lips is one of the best ways to heal chapped lips. It can be used as a natural lip shiner and a lip balm. Olive oil soothes baby’s chapped lips and makes them soft and pink. Massaging a drop of olive oil on the baby’s lips while the baby sleeps can help the skin absorb the oil and its moisture and retain the pinkish lips of your dear baby.\n#7. Olive oil for baby’s nose, ears and nails\nWhile massaging your baby, you can apply some olive oil on the internal part of baby’s nose or the ears. Olive oil is beneficial in getting the ear wax to soften and also in clearing nose congestions. Massaging the nails along with the skin with olive oil helps retain the shine on the nails and helps in repairing the damaged cuticles. Regular olive oil massage on the nails of the baby develops strong nails that are naturally shiny.\nMassaging your baby with olive oil will benefit your baby in many ways. Olive oil is the oil that can also be incorporated into your daily food habits and it gives immense benefits to adults and young ones. Do remember that if your baby has extremely dry skin, olive oil is not recommended. Always check with your baby’s doctor before trying anything new for the baby.\nWant to share your experience as a mom with other moms through words or images?

The baby may have a runny nose for a couple of days sometimes accompanied by a fever and then the croup coughing develops.\nSymptoms to watch for are:\nIf the case is mild it can be safely treated at home. Sitting with the baby in the bathroom with running hot water and letting her breathe in the steam helps a lot. Even sitting outside in the fresh air can alleviate the baby's inflamed airways. But if symptoms get worse and you feel the baby's breathing is very labored it is best to visit the pediatrician. She will likely prescribe a steroid medication to reduce the swelling of the airways, which is what causes the breathing difficulty.\nSo it's imperative that you monitor the baby carefully during this time to make sure she can breathe ok. Keep in mind that the symptoms get worse when the baby is upset or crying and at night.\nMost cases of croup are mild to moderate and do not pose a threat.

Its ability to promote wound healing and reduce inflammation has made it a valuable asset in medical settings, where it is used to treat chronic wounds, ulcers, and infections. Moreover, its antioxidant properties help protect against oxidative stress and cellular damage, bolstering the body's natural defences against disease and ageing.\nTo understand the true essence of Manuka honey, one must appreciate its deep-rooted cultural significance in Maori tradition and indigenous medicine. For centuries, the Manuka plant has been revered as a sacred symbol of healing and vitality, with its flowers and honey serving as powerful tools for spiritual ceremonies, rituals, and traditional healing practices. Today, Manuka honey continues to be cherished by indigenous communities and health enthusiasts alike for its holistic benefits and connection to the land.\nBeyond its medicinal properties, Manuka honey holds a special place in the cultural heritage of New Zealand and Australia, where it is celebrated as a symbol of resilience, community, and environmental stewardship. Its production involves a delicate balance between human intervention and natural processes, reflecting the harmonious relationship between humanity and the natural world. By honouring this sacred tradition, we not only preserve the cultural heritage of indigenous peoples but also reaffirm our commitment to sustainable living and holistic well-being.\nThe journey of Manuka honey from hive to table is a fascinating tale of nature's craftsmanship and human stewardship. It begins with the diligent foraging behavior of honeybees, who collect nectar and pollen from Manuka flowers during the brief flowering season. Once gathered, the nectar is transformed into honey through a process of enzymatic activity and evaporation within the hive. Beekeepers then carefully harvest and extract the honey, employing strict quality control measures to ensure purity and potency.\nThe production process of Manuka honey is a labour of love that requires patience, skill, and respect for nature's rhythms. From the buzzing hive to the pristine jar, each step is imbued with intention and care, resulting in a product of unparalleled quality and integrity. By supporting sustainable beekeeping practices and ethical honey production, we not only safeguard the future of Manuka honey but also honour the rich tradition of beekeeping that has sustained communities for generations.\nAt the heart of Manuka honey's therapeutic prowess lies its complex chemical composition. Methylglyoxal (MGO), a naturally occurring compound found in high concentrations in Manuka honey, is credited with its distinctive flavour and health properties. Additionally, dihydroxyacetone and leptosperin contribute to its antibacterial activity and overall potency. The interplay of these compounds gives Manuka honey its unparalleled efficacy in combating infections, promoting wound healing, and enhancing overall well-being.\nThe chemical composition of Manuka honey is a testament to nature's ingenuity and the power of synergy. Each component plays a unique role in the honey's medicinal effects, working in harmony to address a myriad of health concerns. From its antioxidant-rich profile to its anti-inflammatory properties, Manuka honey offers a holistic approach to wellness that transcends conventional remedies. By harnessing the power of nature's pharmacy, we unlock the full potential of Manuka honey as a transformative agent for healing and vitality.\nNavigating the world of Manuka honey can be daunting without an understanding of its grading systems. The MGO and Unique Manuka Factor (UMF) ratings serve as quality metrics that standardise the concentration of key markers in Manuka honey, such as methylglyoxal and dihydroxyacetone. Honeys with higher MGO and UMF ratings are prized for their superior potency and antibacterial activity, making them ideal for therapeutic use in skincare, oral hygiene, and general wellness maintenance.\nThe grading systems for Manuka honey provide consumers with valuable insights into the quality and authenticity of the product. By looking for reputable brands that adhere to rigorous testing standards and transparent labeling practices, consumers can ensure that they are purchasing genuine Manuka honey with the highest levels of efficacy and purity. Whether selecting a honey with a high MGO rating for topical applications or a UMF-rated honey for internal use, understanding the nuances of grading systems empowers consumers to make informed choices that align with their health and wellness goals.\nUsage and Applications\nFrom soothing sore throats to rejuvenating skin, the versatility of Manuka honey knows no bounds. Its rich, caramelised flavour adds depth to culinary creations, while its antimicrobial properties make it a staple in natural skincare routines. Incorporating Manuka honey into daily life is easy and enjoyable, whether drizzled over toast, stirred into tea, or applied topically as a healing balm. With a myriad of recipes, home remedies, and practical tips available, harnessing the power of Manuka honey has never been more accessible.\nThe applications of Manuka honey extend far beyond the kitchen and bathroom, encompassing a wide range of therapeutic uses and holistic remedies. From wound dressings to immune support supplements, Manuka honey offers a natural alternative to conventional treatments that is gentle yet effective. By exploring the diverse ways in which Manuka honey can be incorporated into everyday routines, individuals can unlock its full potential as a transformative agent for health and well-being. Whether used as a sweetener in recipes or a soothing tonic for the skin, Manuka honey embodies the essence of nature's pharmacy, offering a potent source of healing and nourishment for body, mind, and spirit.\nSustainability and Conservation\nAs global demand for Manuka honey continues to rise, the importance of sustainable beekeeping practices and conservation efforts cannot be overstated. Bee populations worldwide are facing unprecedented threats from habitat loss, pesticide exposure, and climate change, highlighting the need for proactive measures to protect their health and vitality. Initiatives aimed at promoting biodiversity, restoring native habitats, and supporting local beekeeping communities are essential for safeguarding the future of Manuka honey and the ecosystems it depends on.\nSustainable beekeeping practices prioritise the well-being of bees and the environment, emphasising principles such as hive health, habitat preservation, and biodiversity conservation. By implementing responsible beekeeping techniques, such as organic hive management and natural pest control methods, beekeepers can minimise their impact on the environment while ensuring the health and productivity of their colonies.

As orthopaedic doctors who specialise in treating upper extremity injuries, we see a lot of dislocated shoulders in our practice. These injuries are commonly seen in sportsmen and women who are at risk of falling on their shoulder, being hit on it or who are at risk of sudden and sharp twisting of the arm. Sports like hockey, rugby, soccer, mountain biking and rock climbing are especially prone to shoulder dislocations.\nHow Do I Know If I’ve Dislocated My Shoulder?\nThis typical sports injury will result in the top of your arm bone popping out of the shoulder socket. Physically speaking, a dislocated shoulder is fairly obvious and often self-diagnosable. Just looking at it you will be able to see that something’s off – it will be clearly out of place and you will notice a bump or protrusion around shoulder area. There will also be swelling or bruising.\nBut aside from physical indicators, what does a dislocated shoulder feel like? Well, it’s pretty severe, leaving the injured in excruciating pain at the slightest shrug of the shoulder.\nThe injured may also feel shoulder muscle spasms, which make their shoulder pain worse. Additionally, some describe their pain as moving up and down their arm or from their shoulder to neck.\nWhat You Shouldn’t Do\nThe injured should never attempt to move their shoulder, as this could cause permanent damage to the joint. There are many nerves and tissues surrounding the shoulder, which could be damaged by movement during dislocation.\nWhat You Should Do\nIf you suspect you have a dislocated shoulder, then it is crucial that you visit your closest emergency department (trauma unit) immediately – the sooner it is treated, the less chance of permanent damage occurring. The injured should also place an ice pack on the injured joint straight away.\nWith the care of orthopaedic specialists such as ourselves, you can expect a recovery period of a few weeks, but it is advisable to stop your chosen sport for a period determined by your specialist to allow the joint to fully recover.\nPlease get in touch with us if you need assistance with your shoulder injury. We are among the most reputable shoulder specialists in Durban and can give you our expert advice and guidance to help you restore mobility to you shoulder as soon as possible.", "domain": "health"}

Little did I know that this seemingly simple change would not only alter my mode of transportation but also revolutionize my lifestyle, leading to a healthier and happier version of myself.\nThe decision to switch from a car to a bike was not made overnight. Frustrated with the constant traffic gridlock, rising fuel costs, and a sedentary lifestyle, I found myself yearning for a change. The idea of cycling to work began to take shape as I pondered the numerous benefits, both for my physical health and mental well-being.\nThe first day I strapped on my helmet and pedaled away, I felt a sense of liberation. The wind in my hair, the rhythmic rotation of the pedals, and the simple joy of gliding through the streets replaced the stress and monotony of sitting in traffic. Little did I realize that this daily routine would become the cornerstone of a healthier lifestyle.\nOne of the immediate and most noticeable benefits of cycling was the improvement in my physical fitness. The sedentary hours spent in a car were replaced by an invigorating cardiovascular workout. The regular exercise not only helped me shed those extra pounds but also boosted my energy levels, transforming my morning commute into a refreshing and revitalizing experience.\nCycling also allowed me to reconnect with my surroundings. As I pedaled through the streets, I noticed the changing seasons, the vibrant colors of blooming flowers, and the subtle beauty of everyday life that often goes unnoticed from behind a car window. This newfound connection with nature added a touch of mindfulness to my daily routine, contributing to a more positive and grounded outlook on life.\nThe environmental impact of my decision was another compelling reason to continue my bike commute. The reduction in carbon emissions and my personal carbon footprint was a small but meaningful contribution to a greener planet. Knowing that I was actively participating in the fight against pollution and climate change added a sense of purpose to my daily rides.\nSurprisingly, my decision to ditch the car for a bike also had positive effects on my work performance. The increased energy levels, improved focus, and reduced stress translated into a more productive and efficient workday. The mental clarity achieved during my morning ride set a positive tone for the rest of the day, making me realize that a happier commute could lead to a happier and more successful life overall.\nIn conclusion, the seemingly simple act of swapping my car for a bike has transformed my daily commute into a journey of self-discovery and well-being. The physical, mental, and environmental benefits have far exceeded my expectations, creating a ripple effect that extends beyond my daily rides. Ditching the car was not just a change in transportation; it was a lifestyle shift towards a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling way of living.", "domain": "health"}

Because many physicians do not consider psychological triggers of physical symptoms early in the diagnostic process, patients presenting with habit cough are often first diagnosed as dealing with upper respiratory infections, asthma, allergies leading to post-nasal drip, gastroesophageal reflux, or pneumonia.\nCough that is caused by habit typically starts because of an infection—but once the infection resolves, the cough remains out of habit. Such a cough can last for months or even years. The cough can occur as frequently as every couple of seconds, but sometimes as infrequently as a few times an hour. Other names of habit cough include psychogenic cough, cough tic, and somatic cough syndrome (Anbar & Hall, 2004).\nDiagnosis of Habit Cough\nClues that a cough might be caused by a habit include that it almost always stops when a patient falls asleep, and often improves when a patient is distracted, such as by a video game. Habit cough often is loud, disruptive, and sometimes even honking. It is considered a \"dry\" cough because affected patients do not cough up lung secretions.\nIn children, habit cough often is associated with missed school and stomachaches. Habit cough generally is unrecognized as a cause of chronic cough in adults, and therefore is rarely considered as a possible diagnosis by health care providers for adults. However, there are recent anecdotal reports that long-term cough in adults can resolve with therapy for habit cough (Weinberger & Hurvitz, 2020). Further, based on my experience as a pulmonologist, I suspect that habit cough is a common issue for adults with chronic dry cough that does not improve with medications.\nLike other medical symptoms such as headaches and stomachaches, habit cough sometimes is worsened by psychological stressors in children such as academic difficulties at school, bullying, or distress within the family such as related to divorce of the parents or the death of a beloved family member or pet. In adults, habit cough can occur in association with marital problems, job-related stress, or the loss of a loved one.\nMedications do not help improve habit cough because there is no physical cause that is triggering its perpetuation. However, since many doctors are slow to recognize habit cough, patients often are treated with medications for asthma, allergies, acid reflux, and/or tic disorders with no improvement before a diagnosis is made.\nTreatment of Habit Cough with Hypnosis\nTreatments that work for habit cough include wrapping a bed sheet around the abdomen and tightening it each time that the patient feels that he or she might need to cough, suggestion therapy, in which patients are told repeatedly that they can control the cough, and hypnosis.\nChildren who have developed a habit cough often describe a tickle in their throat that they cannot control and that causes them to cough. I explain to them that when they cough they further irritate their throat, which is how a cycle of coughing can continue. The key to learning how to control the cough is to be able to ignore the tickle.\nHypnosis can help with ignoring the need to cough by teaching patients how to calm themselves, imagine turning down a dial that controls the cough, or figuring out whether a stressful issue might be contributing to the cough prolongation and how to better deal with the issue. With hypnosis, habit cough in children has been shown to resolve within a single session half of the time, and within a month for most patients (Anbar & Hall, 2004).\nCough that results from illnesses that cause spitting out of lung secretions (such as asthma or pneumonia) should not be treated with hypnosis with the purpose of reducing the cough because such coughing helps clear the body of secretions that otherwise could prove damaging to the lungs.\nAs hypnosis has been shown to be effective in the treatment of habit cough and has no side effects, this therapy should be considered early in the therapeutic plan for any individual with chronic dry cough that does not improve with medications.\nCopyright Ran D.

Have you ever asked yourself, \"Which side to sleep with blocked nose?\"\nWell, you're not alone. A lot of us struggle with this question during allergy season or when down with a cold, as our nightly rest seems to turn into enduring 'mission impossible.'\nIt makes you look for positions that seemingly defy the laws of gravity, all in the quest for breathability.\nSo, what is the secret sauce to achieving much-needed relief and sound sleep when grappling with a thoroughly blocked nose?\nYour body position plays an important role - it can either help provide relief or escalate your discomfort. To enlighten you on this common nightly struggle.\nLet's delve into the science behind it and unveil some practical advice on how you could definitively answer which side to tip over when your nose won't play nice.\nA blocked nose, also known as nasal congestion or stuffiness, can be more than just an annoyance. It can disrupt your sleep and make daily tasks a challenge.\nYou may wonder why your nose tends to play the villain often during allergy season or when you have a cold. Well, there are several reasons your nose might be invading your quiet hours.\nNot every flu or blocked nose is the common cold. Nasal blockage can be a sign of serious medical conditions as well, such as nasal tumors.\nIt’s essential to get your condition assessed by a medical professional if you don't see improvement in symptoms over some time.\nNo, Sleeping with a congested nose isn't harmful in itself; it can just make for an uncomfortable night.\nNasal congestion typically occurs when the blood vessels in your nose become inflamed, causing your nasal tissues to swell. This can be due to colds, allergies, or infections such as sinusitis.\nAlthough it might cause inconvenience or discomfort, especially if it results in issues like snoring or shortness of breath during sleep, there are several ways to alleviate this.\nElevating your head during sleep, using a humidifier, taking hot showers, and staying hydrated can help decongest your nose.\nSuppose nasal congestion persists for more extended periods (more than a week) and is accompanied by symptoms like high fever or facial pain.\nIt could indicate a more serious health issue like acute sinusitis or nasal polyps and should require medical attention immediately.\nIf you're dealing with a blocked nose, the side you sleep on can impact your comfort levels at night. Generally, it's recommended to sleep on the opposite side of your blocked nostril. This is due to gravity's impact on our bodily fluids.\nLying on the side of your unblocked nostril allows for easier airflow as mucus in your congested nostril would naturally move away due to gravity.\nIf you sleep on the blocked side, that could contribute to an increased feeling of congestion, potentially worsening discomfort and disrupting your sleep.\nThis is just a temporary solution, and it's vital to treat the underlying issue causing nasal congestion.\nSimple treatments can include staying hydrated, using a humidifier at night, or over-the-counter decongestion sprays or tablets.\nA healthcare professional should check out persistent or severe congestion since it may be symptomatic of a more serious health condition.\nWhen dealing with a stubbornly stuffed nose, trying to catch those elusive Z's can be quite the hassle. We've all been there.\nThere are a number of strategies you can utilize to ease the discomfort and improve your chances of getting a good night's sleep.\nLet's delve into some time-tested tips that can help you sleep more peacefully, even with a blocked nose.\nThe importance of hydration cannot be overstated, especially when dealing with a blocked nose at night. Staying hydrated helps thin the mucus in your nasal passages, which in turn reduces their inflammation and promotes sinus drainage - the much-needed relief for your stuffed nostrils.\nYou may find sipping on warm water or herbal teas before bed quite helpful. It's also important to note that staying hydrated isn't just about increasing your liquid intake but also avoiding dehydrating substances such as alcohol and caffeine.\nIndeed, reaching out for a saline nasal spray could make all the difference in your stuffed nose's misery. Saline sprays work by increasing the moisture within your nostrils, thereby lowering their swelling and improving comfort levels.\nThey are generally safe for all ages and can be used without worrying about side effects or addiction issues that come with other types of medicated nasal sprays.\nHave you ever noticed how eating spicy food makes your nose run? This might not seem like fun during mealtime, but it's exactly what you need when struggling with nasal congestion.\nSpicy foods like hot peppers, garlic, onions, or ginger contain chemicals that stimulate nasal secretion - effectively unblocking stuffy noses. This is not advisable if spicy foods irritate your stomach or exacerbate your condition.\nNasal irrigation – where a saline solution is run through your sinuses – is yet another highly effective home remedy to alleviate nasal congestion. For this, you might want to consider using a Neti Pot.\nThe teapot-shaped device is simple to use: fill it with a saline solution (either pre-packaged or homemade), lean over the sink with your head tilted, and gently pour the solution into one nostril at a time. While it may seem daunting at first, many people find neti pots provide instant relief.\nA homemade steam inhalation can work wonders in alleviating nasal congestion. Here's how. Fill a large bowl with hot, steaming water. Lean over the bowl, creating a tent with your towel over your head to trap the steam.\nInhale slowly and deeply through the nose for about 10 minutes. Be sure to keep a safe distance away from the hot water to avoid burns.\nThis method helps moisturize your nasal passages, thinning out the mucus that's causing blockage and discomfort.\nSteamy showers are like personal saunas for your sinuses! Getting into a warm, humid environment can be incredibly soothing for blocked noses as heat loosens the mucus in your sinuses and eases nasal stiffness.\nSo, next time you feel that nasal discomfort flaring up again, opt for short, frequent showers during the day or even right before sleep time.\nCleanliness is paramount when it comes to keeping allergens at bay - these pesky triggers can make an otherwise simple cold escalate into relentless nasal congestion.\nDust frequently and vacuum regularly (using appliances equipped with HEPA filters) to reduce dust mites and pet dander often found lurking in carpets and upholstery.\nRemember also to wash your beddings often in hot water to ward off dust mites that might be sheltering there.\nAir purifiers may be investment-worthy gadgets if you're prone to allergies or have regular stuffy nose bouts - especially in high-pollen seasons or if you have pets around the house.\nThese devices work by filtering and cycling the air within your room - removing allergens like dust, pollen, pet dander, or mold spores that might worsen your nasal blockage.\nDry air can often aggravate sinus pressure, causing increased inflammation and worsening nasal blockage.\nThat's where a humidifier steps in - by maintaining an optimal moisture level in your room, it can not only keep your sinuses from drying out but also promote mucus drainage from the nose.\nRemember to keep the device clean, though, as ignored humidifiers can harbor molds or bacteria harmful to your respiratory health.\nWhile a comforting hot cup of tea or coffee may be tempting, caffeinated drinks could work against you when dealing with a blocked nose.\nCaffeine has diuretic properties, which can leave you dehydrated, consequently thickening the mucus in your nasal passages.\nAlcohol consumption can lead to dehydration and aggravated nasal inflammation. For a congestion-free sleep, it’s best to avoid both of them close to bedtime.\nGravity can be your ally when fighting nasal congestion! By remaining upright for most of the day, you encourage your sinuses to drain properly rather than becoming more congested as they would if you were lying down.\nThis way, by bedtime, your amount of discomfort has already been lowered significantly, and sleeping becomes easier.\nA warm compress can provide quick relief from the discomforts of a blocked nose. The heat helps loosen the mucus inside your nostrils and also eases the inflamed blood vessels in your sinuses, enhancing drainage.\nA simple washcloth soaked in moderately warm water applied over your nose and forehead should do the trick.\nJust as maintaining an upright position during the day helps sinus drainage, raising your head while sleeping alleviates nighttime stuffiness.\nThis can be achieved by adding an extra pillow or elevating the head side of your bed slightly - all for that precious, peaceful sleep.\nOur bodies react to allergens like pollen, dust mites, or pet dander by producing excessive mucus, leading to blocked noses.\nIf you're aware that you're allergic to such substances, doing what you can to limit exposure might be yet another trick up your sleeve for dealing with nasal congestion.\nSwitching to hypoallergenic bedding, regularly cleaning your living spaces, especially the bedroom, and keeping pets off your bed are some steps you could take on this front.\nEven if it may seem somewhat unconventional, chewing gum has been heralded by many as a simple yet effective method of relieving a blocked nose.\nAs you chew, you stimulate the production of saliva, which aids in swallowing and can relieve pressure in your ears and nose.\nOpting for a mint-flavored gum can be especially helpful since mint has natural decongestant properties.\nA warm bath is not just about relaxation; it's a pragmatic approach to easing nasal congestion, too! The heat from the bathwater produces steam, which is inhaled, moisturizing your nasal passages and loosening up clogged mucus.\nFor added benefits, consider adding essential oils such as eucalyptus or peppermint oil known for decompressing sinuses.\nHerbal teas are more than just comforting beverages; they are full of natural substances that can ease sinus congestion.\nTeas such as peppermint and ginger are popular choices to open up the nasal passage due to their anti-inflammatory properties.\nThey soothe inflamed sinus tissues, promote mucus drainage, and work wonders when it comes to clearing airways.\nThe powerful aroma of eucalyptus oil is well-known for its ability to ease breathing difficulties associated with colds or congestion.\nAdding a few drops of eucalyptus oil into a diffuser before sleep can fill your room with its therapeutic scent, promoting clear breathing throughout the night. Dabbing some oil onto tissue near your pillow achieves this same purpose.\nThey say timing makes all the difference - this applies to meal times, too, when battling nasal congestion! Consuming a large meal just before hitting the bed can hinder your comfort levels while sleeping.\nIt may stimulate acid reflux that could reach the throat and result in swollen adenoids, further worsening nasal blockage. It's best to keep dinners light and finish eating 2-3 hours before bed.\nReducing screen time before hitting the bed is a helpful measure not just for those with a stuffy nose but everyone in general.\nScreens-emitted blue light can interfere with your body's production of melatonin, the sleep hormone, making it harder for you to fall asleep.\nThis means more time being conscious of your blocked nose and less time getting restorative sleep.\nSwapping screen time with relaxing activities such as reading a book or listening to soothing music can significantly benefit overall sleep quality.\nWhen home remedies aren't cutting it, you might need some extra help from over-the-counter decongestants.\nThese medications work by reducing blood flow to the nasal passages, resulting in reduced swelling and easier breathing.\nThey should be used judiciously only when necessary and not for more than a few days, as prolonged use can lead to rebound congestion or other side effects. It is also essential that you consult a healthcare provider before starting any new medication.\nAnother useful tool in your arsenal against nasal congestion could be nasal strips - little adhesive patches placed on the nose bridge that works by physically widening the nasal passages.\nNasal strips are non-invasive and drug-free, making them an excellent choice for individuals who wish to avoid medication or have restrictions on what they can take.\nBy promoting better airflow through the nostrils, these strips can help you breathe easier during sleep.\nRelaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or meditation can also aid your fight against nighttime nasal congestion.\nNot only do these practices promote better sleep by encouraging physical relaxation and a calm mind - they also enhance circulation and reduce tension, which can indirectly help with unclogging stuffy noses.\nA simple deep breathing routine you could start with is taking slow, controlled breaths in from your nose, holding for a second or two, and then gently exhaling out from the mouth.\nGiving your bedroom a thorough dusting is crucial. Dust can trigger allergies that lead to increased mucus production, worsening your nasal congestion.\nRegularly changing bed linens, vacuuming carpets and rugs, and making sure the room has adequate ventilation can go a long way in keeping irritants at bay. If needed, invest in an air purifier to maintain dust-free air in your sleeping environment.\nWhile you might love curling up with your fluffy friend at the end of a long day, it could be aggravating your nasal congestion.\nPet dander is a common allergen that may contribute to your stuffy nose. Keeping pets out of the bedroom, especially during the night, can significantly reduce exposure to these allergens and, in turn, alleviate your blocked nose.\nRegular grooming of pets and frequent washing of bedding where pets have been can also prove beneficial.\nExplore More: 13 Reasons Why Does My Dog Scratch My Bed Sheets? 2023\nSleeping position can also play a big role when dealing with a blocked nose. Lying flat on your back can exacerbate nasal congestion by allowing mucus to build up in your sinuses.\nTry sleeping on your side; this position encourages better drainage and decreases sinus pressure. If one nostril is more congested than the other, you could find relief by sleeping on the opposite side.\nGravity can be leveraged to relieve nasal obstruction, too. By adding an extra pillow or two under your head, you create an incline that prevents mucus from accumulating in your sinuses - considerably easing blockage issues.\nThis simple tip could greatly improve breathability throughout the night and improve overall sleep quality.\nUsing a mentholated ointment like Vicks VapoRub under or around your nostrils can help break up nasal congestion and open up airways for easier breathing.\nThe refreshing scent of menthol has cooling properties, which act as a natural decongestant - providing instant relief from a blockage issue.\nIf added elevation sounds like a good idea, but stacking pillows feels unstable or just not comfortable, consider investing in a wedge pillow.\nThese specially designed pillows provide incline and support for your entire upper body, clearing up your nasal passages by encouraging sinus drainage.\nAs a bonus, it can also help alleviate symptoms in people who suffer from acid reflux or snoring issues.\nOne simple yet very effective tip is to keep plenty of tissues close at hand, preferably right next to your bed.\nHaving a runny nose can increase the amount of tissue you go through, so having them nearby can provide convenience as well as comfort.\nIt will also help prevent the sniffles from constantly waking you up throughout the night, making it even tougher for you to get a good sleep.\nYour choice of sleepwear can play an integral part in your quality of sleep, particularly when your nose is blocked.\nOpting for breathable cotton pajamas can make a significant difference. Why? When your body stays cool and acclimatized overnight, this encourages open airways and reduces nasal congestion. So go, cotton; your nasal passages will be grateful.\nGood ventilation is key to healthy and comfortable sleep - all the more so when dealing with a blocked nose. A stuffy room only intensifies nasal stuffiness.\nKeep the air flowing through your bedroom by opening windows if it's not too cold outside or using extractor fans if possible. Clean air facilitates better breathing, which equals better sleep.\nUsing a fan serves two purposes - one, it provides air circulation, promoting easier breathing, and two, it creates white noise, which has been shown to help with falling asleep quicker and staying asleep longer.\nThe cool circulating air can aid in reducing inflammation in your nasal passages, thus alleviating some of the blockage.\nDid you know that sleeping with warm socks on can actually boost blood circulation? Yes indeed! Improved circulation helps regulate overall body temperature – warmer feet signal your brain that it's time for sleep.\nHaving warm feet opens up the blood vessels, allowing improved distribution of heat throughout the body, which can help reduce congestion and soothe a blocked nose, hence leading to better sleep.\nYes, it is generally suggested that sleeping on the side of the unblocked nostril can help improve airflow and relieve congestion.\nAbsolutely! Sleeping with your head elevated can reduce congestion and make breathing easier.\nLying flat on your back can exacerbate sinus pressure and obstruct breathing through the nose.\nDry air in your bedroom may worsen your symptoms. Use a humidifier or ensure good ventilation to keep air moist.\nYes, alternating sides during the night could assist in equalizing pressure in your sinuses and bring relief to a blocked nose.\nWhen nighttime congestion hits, you don't have to take it lying down. There are practical and beneficial steps you can take to alleviate the discomfort of a blocked nose, from staying hydrated to adjusting your sleep position.\nImplementing just a few of these tips might make all the difference in the battle against stuffy noses; every little bit helps, after all. So here's to hope for more peaceful nights and less congested days!\nFor long-term relief, though, consider speaking to a healthcare provider if home remedies have failed you or if your symptoms persist. It could indicate an underlying health concern that requires professional medical attention.", "domain": "health"}

Good news, you’ve found the link between your wellbeing and writing. Why good news? Because if you’ve tried everything else to improve your writing, the answer might be as simple as your running shoes.\nAfter five hours sleep, caffeine for breakfast, and no physical movement—at times some writers (this one included!) face the blank page and wonder, “Why can’t I write today?” which reveals the basics: sleep, diet, and exercise. Of course we can go further into health, but these are the essentials.\nWriting is brainwork which demands energy. But not just any energy—the steady kind which arrives throughout the day. Think, larger, high-protein breakfast with a smaller lunch and dinner. We can also avoid snacks to send meal-time energy to the brain and skip sugar and coffee to beat “the slump” confused with “writer’s block”.\nThen, to function well our brain needs ample oxygen and good circulation—regular exercise is the answer. A healthy routine balances desk hours and benefits our deadlines. So, whilst it’s tempting to skip and finish that last paragraph, time spent exercising brings dividends.\nGood writing is about processing impressions for our reader’s benefit. Do you find when you’re doing something else—perhaps hiking, swimming, or a dance class—that precious idea appears out of nowhere? You’re not alone. Added to this, they say a change is as good as a rest, sometimes just what our writing needs to progress.\nWriting well isn’t about being perfect—it’s about helping ourselves to write. So, more good news: if you’re skipping healthy food, exercise, and sleep, then better writing awaits, overnight. Picture yourself rested, exercised, and well nourished and it’s easy to imagine your writing at its best.", "domain": "health"}

It generally occurs in small to medium size dogs and some breeds are more susceptible than others. These breeds include Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Poodles, Schnauzers, Chihuahuas, Fox Terriers and Boston Terriers.\nMVD is a disease that affects the surface of the heart valves. Other names you may hear used to describe MVD are endocardiosis, myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) or valvular insufficiency.\nThe valves are normally smooth and form a perfect seal when closed. MVD causes the edges to become thickened, lumpy and distorted. The seal becomes imperfect and when the ventricle pumps, some of the blood flows backwards into the atrium. This backward flow creates a noise that your vet can hear with a stethoscope. The noise is called a murmur.\nBecause the heart valves are leaky, circulation is impaired.\nFor a time the dog's body may make adjustments to allow it to cope. In fact some dogs live with a murmur for many years without developing any clinical signs or symptoms. However, eventually the disease can override the adjustments that have been made causing the dog to become unwell and start to show signs of heart failure.\nMVD may affect the dog's body in a number of different ways.

East Camano Dr.) from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. May 22-26. The event is called “Take 10 to Save a Life” and is held in conjunction with National EMS Week and the World CPR Challenge.\nCommunity members are encouraged to take 10 minutes out of their day to learn how to do adult compression, hands only CPR to save a life. Participants will be shown a brief video, and then practice the technique on a dummy for the remainder of their time. Firefighters will be on hand to provide one-to-one instruction.\n“It takes us an average of 7 ½ minutes to reach someone in a medical emergency – sometimes longer for the extreme south end of the island,” says Community Paramedic Jim Reinhardt. “Having a community member administer CPR while we’re on our way greatly increases someone’s chance of survival and making a full recovery.”\nCardiac arrest unexpectedly takes the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans each year. Studies show that survival rates from a heart attack can be doubled or tripled if CPR is administered until emergency medical services arrive.\nTraditional CPR required mouth-to-mouth breathing in addition to chest compressions. But, Reinhardt says physicians with the American Heart Association have since changed those guidelines.\n“In an adult or a teen in cardiac arrest, chest compression by itself is, for a short time, just as helpful as traditional CPR.” He adds: “Once our EMS team arrives, we take over and then provide advanced cardiac arrest treatments including breathing support for the victim. However, without bystander chest compressions being performed, the victim’s chance of survival rapidly drops to zero”.\nThe fire district invites the public to join Camano Island Fire & Rescue Firefighters for this important project.\nNational Emergency Medical Service Week (May 21-27, 2017) brings together local communities and medical personnel to publicize safety and honor the dedication of those who provide the day-to-day lifesaving services of medicine’s “front line.”\nCamano Island Fire and Rescue is an all-hazards response agency providing fire suppression, emergency medical service, technical and marine rescue to 20,000 people over 40 square miles.

This procedure works best on individuals with modest to high degrees of nearsightedness (nearsightedness), reduced to modest degrees of hyperopia (farsightedness) as well as astigmatism connected with nearsightedness, as well as who have thick corneas. It is the most well-known medical vision improvement approach.\nIndividuals with typical eye view see items plainly because photos are brought right into a right centerpiece by the cornea as well as lens of the eye. Ideally, the cornea's curvature is evenly matched to its length in a typical eye. People with astigmatism, nearsightedness or hyperopia have off-and-on formed corneas, so the objects seen are not focused appropriately. LASIK changes corneal shape by accurate removal of corneal tissue, as well as by doing so deals with the eyes' concentrating power.\nThere are, nonetheless, dangers to LASIK eye surgical procedure.\nThere is a remote chance of full loss of vision. If this occurs, it is generally since the patient had a pre-existing condition which ought to have precluded the surgical treatment in the first place, such as maternity, cataracts, arthritis, diabetes, glaucoma, or lupus. People with huge students are also inadequate candidates for LASIK. Dry eye disorder will be intensified by this procedure.\nA couple of patients complain that they completely see \"ghost\" photos, have actually obscured vision, lessened comparison and also negative evening vision. When LASIK wased initially presented, 5% of patients had post-operative problems; however, refinements in the treatment have actually caused this price to go down to less than 1% if LASIK is carried out by proficient experts and also people are correctly screened prior to surgical treatment. If troubles do take place, they could commonly be resoved by a retreatment.\nFDA has actually approved LASIK laser eye surgical treatment given that 1998. While there are a great deal of pleased patients, there are nevertheless no long term researches concerning its impacts. Realize the limitations as well as the risks of LASIK eye surgical treatment prior to you sigh up for the treatment.\nThough less popular, these small implants could improve vision in people with moderate to modest nearsightedness without the risk of permanent eye damage intrinsic in the tissue removal strategy of LASIK. Intacs are semi-circular disks implanted in the cornea which stretch it to presume a flatter form. Though somewhat less exact than LASIK, they are removeable and replaceable, so if the person has an unanticipated over- or under-correction, the implant could be eliminated and an additional of a different dimension placed to get the preferred modification. The implants are located beside the cornea, so the main visual location is completely undamaged and intact, and the strength of the cornea is undiminished, making it a far better choice for pilots and also those that engage in call sports where eye injury is an opportunity.\nIntacs are unsuitable for extreme nearsightedness as well as greater than small astigmatism (1.00 diopters), as the cornea could only be stretched until now. If the Intacs are eliminated, vision go back to its preoperative level. Other than vision correction, Intacs are also made use of to treat keratoconus.\nIntacs are FDA authorized and also Ten Years research studies have revealed no major troubles with Intacs and also few patient grievances; nonetheless, since the procedure takes much more training use this link than LASIK, there are fewer eye surgical treatment centers supplying it. Nevertheless, the Intacs web site gives a listing of specialists in each state, as well a couple of in Canada, Europe and also Mexico.\nDue to the fact that lots of people do not wish to risk LASIK and Intacs could not aid those with severe vision troubles, intraocular lens implants (IOL) are a brand-new option accepted by the FDA in 2004 to remedy modest to serious nearsightedness. The Craftsmen lens, produced by Ophtec, resembles the kind of lens implant utilized to restore vision following cataract eye surgical treatment.\nThe brand-new IOL, called the Craftsmen, is meant for only people who have 2.5 diopters or less of astigmatism.\nThe artificial lens does not replace the all-natural lens, however is inserted in front of it. The main issue located with the implant was the stable loss of endothelial cells in the corneas of people that received the implants. The endothelium is a layer of cells that line the undersurface of the cornea and are crucial in keeping the cornea clear. A three-year study showed a continual stable loss of endothelial cells of 1.8 percent a year. At important site this moment, no person could forecast whether this loss will certainly continue at the very same rate indefinitely, or perhaps its effect on corneal function.\nTo decrease long-term results of the device on the corneal endothelium, the FDA is requiring that the new lenses be labelled to define that they must only be dental implanted in clients whose corneal endothelial cells are thick enough to stand up to minor cell loss.\nExtra major complications were few: retinal detachment (0.6%), cataract growth (0.6%), as well as corneal swelling (0.4%). The FDA is requiring Ophtec to carry out a five-year follow-up study of its implant individuals to much better evaluate the post-surgical occurrence of cataract growth, retinal detachment and various other ocular diseases.\nThe Artisan lens is meant to be an irreversible implant.Though it can be eliminated operatively, vision might not constantly go back to what it was prior to obtaining the lens. Due to the fact that it does not affect astigmatism, clients with this issue may still need glasses.", "domain": "health"}

Evidence suggests that this results from low levels of the sleep hormone, melatonin, whose secretion by the pineal gland is turned off when you are exposed to light. Only the shorter wavelengths of light -blue and to some extent the aqua- have this effect, however. Thus, studies have shown that wearing special glasses that filter out blue to green light increase the concentration of melatonin in the blood. While improving your sleep, wearing such glasses when up late at night, or using special light bulbs, prior to bed time (and if you wake up to use the bathroom), also may reduce your cancer risk.

It works to re-direct energy so that it flows properly. When your energy flows without obstruction, the body functions better and there is no pain. When the energy is blocked, it causes all kinds of problems, such as pain, hormone imbalances, digestive issues, allergies, high blood pressure, etc.\nQ: Why should i change my diet?\nA: Some foods can be toxic to some individuals. If you are eating a particular food that your body considers as toxic, then it will create weight gain, headaches, allergies, toxicity and other disease processes. It’s important to identify those foods and eliminate them so you will feel better and get healthy overall.\nQ: Why get blood and other tests?\nA: Blood, saliva, stool, and urine testing will give you information that is impossible to obtain in any other way. We can tell what your cholesterol is, if you are anemic, if you are low in calcium or magnesium, if you have lead or mercury poisoning, if your testosterone, estrogen, thyroid or adrenal hormones are too low or high, and if the neurotransmitters circulating in your brain are keeping you sharp, and your memory functioning well. Stool tests check for candida, yeast, parasites, blood and other digestive functions. Many people have parasites and don’t realize it. It’s a good idea to check it out at least once.\nGetting well involves so much more than just covering up your symptoms. That would be like unscrewing the oil warning light on your car. I encourage you to make a commitment to your health, on a deeper level, and take the first steps that feel most comfortable for you.\nInsurance often covers all or part of your treatment and testing.", "domain": "health"}

The longer we live, the greater the probability we will need long-term care services at some point in life, and contrary to popular belief, Medicare does not pay for long-term care services. Medicare is intended to help pay for the cost of acute healthcare, not long-term care, which is different. Medicaid, however, will pay for long-term care services, but only after one has become impoverished enough to qualify.\nOutside of Medicaid, which is not a desirable option for any of the clients with whom we work, there are essentially three options for securing or paying for long-term care services—1) paying them from personal resources (current income or by turning assets into income), 2) paying them from an insurance policy, or 3) relying on family and friends. Since most clients do not want to have to rely on family and friends for care, paying for these services from personal resources or from insurance become the most common alternatives.\nBecause the cost of long-term care services can be very expensive, some clients use long-term care insurance to minimize their risk. Skilled care in a long-term care facility, for example, can cost well over $10,000 a month. And even families with the income and assets to pay for care sometimes choose to insure the risk to avoid having to divert significant financial resources away from other priorities.\nWhen working with clients on long-term care risk management, we never recommend that anyone insure 100% of their likely long-term care risk, if we recommend that they purchase long-term care insurance at all. Generally speaking, we do not recommend that anyone offload 100% of any particular risk onto an insurance company. The purpose of insurance is to pay for the risks we cannot afford to take.\nOur first goal in discussing long-term care risk with anyone is to help them understand their risk and the options available to pay for long-term care services should they need them. If a client decides to purchase some amount of long-term care insurance, we generally recommend traditional, stand-alone long-term care insurance. This coverage is similar to term life insurance in that it is pure insurance designed solely to pay for long-term care services.\nHybrid or combination products are growing in popularity for managing long-term care risk; however, we do not believe that these products typically offer the best option for clients because they generally require tying up large amounts of money in a low-yielding insurance product. Furthermore, we have found that by purchasing stand-alone long-term care insurance and investing the difference, so to speak, clients often end up with more cash at the end of their life than the death benefit in their hybrid product, and they enjoy superior long-term care coverage during their lifetime as well. In sum, just as we are proponents of term life insurance in virtually all situations where life insurance is needed, we generally always recommend traditional, stand-alone long-term care insurance when insurance is needed or desired.", "domain": "health"}

Our non profit organization offers free care coordination services to seniors as well as older adults who are struggling with a disability.\nWhat Is Palliative Care?\nPalliative care (pronounced pal-lee-uh-tiv) is specialized medical care for people with serious illnesses. It focuses on providing patients with relief from the symptoms and stress of a serious illness. The goal is to improve quality of life for both the patient and the family.\nPalliative care is provided by a specially-trained team of doctors, nurses and other specialists who work together with a patient’s other doctors to provide an extra layer of support. It is appropriate at any age and at any stage in a serious illness and can be provided along with curative treatment.\nImproves Quality of Life\nPalliative care treats people suffering from serious and chronic illnesses such as cancer, cardiac disease such as congestive heart failure (CHF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), kidney failure, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and many more.\nPalliative care focuses on symptoms such as pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, constipation, nausea, loss of appetite, difficulty sleeping and depression. It also helps you gain the strength to carry on with daily life. It improves your ability to tolerate medical treatments. And it helps you have more control over your care by improving your understanding of your choices for treatment.\nA Partnership of Patient, Specialists and Family\nPalliative care is a team approach to care. The core team includes doctor, nurse and social work palliative care specialists. Massage therapists, pharmacists, nutritionists, chaplains and others may also be part of the team.\nThe team spends as much time as necessary with you and your family. They become a partner with you, your family and your other doctors. They support you and your family every step of the way, not only by controlling your symptoms, but also by helping you to understand your treatment options and goals.\nThe palliative care team will spend a lot of time with you and your family. They will assess your pain level and other symptoms. They will discuss and explain all of your treatment options. And above all, they will explore your goals and wishes so that they can help you match treatments to your goals.\nBut what should you ask the team during the meeting? Here are some suggestions:\n- What can I expect from palliative care?\n- Where will my care be provided (e.g., in the hospital, home, nursing home, hospice)?\n- Who is on the palliative care team?\n- What are your recommendations for my care?\n- What decisions need to be made by either my family or me?\n- Will you help explain my treatment choices and the issues involved in making these decisions?\n- Will you communicate openly and candidly with my family and me about my illness?\n- Will you continue to be involved in my care when I am in the hospital (if you are an outpatient).\n- Will you continue to be involved in my care when I am discharged from the hospital?\n- How will you work with and communicate with my other doctors?\n- What will you do if I experience severe pain or other symptoms?\n- What support will you provide to my family and/or caregivers?\n- Will you still be available to me throughout my illness?\n- How can I reach you?\n- What resources do you recommend for me to learn more about palliative care?\nPlease call (818) 279-6580 to learn more about AMAZING resources!", "domain": "health"}

You know it’s coming. If summer thunderstorms and 4th of July fireworks are stressful for your pet, you probably don’t look forward to the following unavoidable events:\n- Random, unpredictable, intermittent, unapproved fireworks by your wonderful neighbors starting the week before\n- Large sustained pre-planned firework events in nearly every neighborhood in America\n- Loud and crowded cookouts with kids and greasy foods and alcohol and no one really supervising any of it\n- Sporadic, unpredictable thunderstorms\nWhile 4th of July celebrations may be much-anticipated events for us (generally because we aren’t at work), it’s not necessarily a day of fun for our pets, especially without the right precautions. With just a bit of pre-planning, you can make this holiday a little less stressful and much more safe for your pet.\nFirst (and foremost): If you take nothing else from this post, please read and absorb this as it is THE most important point:\n- Don’t take your pet to fireworks displays or events.\n- Though you may think your dog will enjoy the festivities, many dogs are frightened by the crowds and the noise.\n- Some will even panic, try to escape, and can injure themselves.\n- Add in the likely sweltering heat and unattended food items that often accompany these festivities, and the potential dangers far outweigh the potential fun.\n- Leave your pets at home where they are safe and comfortable.\n- Make sure your pet is wearing identification tags, and preferably, in addition, have your pet microchipped.\nAlso keep in mind:\n- Use caution when having parties or cookouts when you have pets.\n- Many human foods (such as onions, garlic, macadamia nuts, grapes, and raisins) are toxic to animals.\n- In addition, most pets who are used to a consistent diet can have extreme, potentially life-threatening, gastrointestinal upset when given scraps and grill droppings, esp with high fatty/greasy foods. This can result in days, if not weeks, of vomiting and diarrhea, which could result in the need for hospitalization and aggressive IV fluid treatment to resolve.\n- Alcoholic drinks can also be a major threat as many may taste sweet but ingestion can result in difficulty breathing, coma, and even death. Mix that in with trash items that can cause more vomiting and diarrhea, and obstructions, and you have some pretty serious potential problems.\n- Insect repellents, citronella candles, sunscreen, glow jewelry, and lighter fluid: We use them all the time but we don’t generally think of eating them. Our pets might. These are toxic to pets and may result in neurological problems, seizures, breathing problems, pneumonia, as well as severe gastrointestinal upset, and obstruction, requiring hospitalization and even surgery to correct.\n- Make sure your pet is confined or being monitored during these events. When large numbers of children, people, alcohol and outdoor food mix, there is generally always an opportunity for your dog to find things lying around that are tasty and NOT good for them. And you may never notice until the symptoms occur much later in the day or week.\nWhat to do if you have a nervous noise-phobic dog, or you aren’t sure, and the 4th of July is approaching?\n- Don’t take your pet out to a celebration\n- Don’t leave your pet unattended in a nonsecure area of the house or outside\n- If your pet is crate-trained, prepare the crate for your pet to retreat into if she wants. Covering it with a large blanket may create an even safer feeling environment for your dog. If your dog is not acclimated to crates or does not like being in crates, it is obviously not a good option to consider forced crating in this situation, as that will only worsen her anxiety and chance for injury if she panics and tries to escape. In these cases, it’s best to help your pet find a quiet, dark, enclosed area (under blankets, in a closet or corner) in which to retreat.\n- Be aware of the signs of noise phobia: pacing, panting, drooling, vocalizing, trembling, hiding (esp cats), seeking out excessive owner contact, dilated pupils, panic or destructive escape behaviors. These behaviors will often worsen with repeated exposure if not addressed.\n- This is a typical expression you may see in a fearful, noise-phobic dog during an event.\nIf you notice any of these behaviors, don’t reinforce it accidentally.\n- This is one of the most common mistakes we make when addressing these problems in our pets.\n- You want to stay calm and comforting for your dog, but giving her excessive attention (petting, repeatedly saying “it’s OK”) while your dog is displaying these phobic behaviors will likely serve to reinforce the anxiety in your pet.\n- Provide safe, quiet areas for your pet to retreat to but try not to reinforce the fear response with too much attention. Instead, try to allow your pet to find a safe area to settle into on her own. Most dogs will prefer quiet, enclosed, familiar, dark spaces.\n- Calm, soothing, quiet music may be helpful for both you and your pet during these episodes and may help cover up the offending noises outside.\n- Some dogs prefer to hide under blankets or may benefit from the anxiety body wraps that are marketed for these types of situations. One such brand is the Thundershirt and I have heard great reviews about it from my clients.\n- Consider herbal calming remedies such as Rescue Remedy, but make sure they are labeled for the specific type of pet you have in mind and follow the label’s dosing instructions.\n- A few drops of lavender oil on a collar or bandana may also be soothing.\n- There are also massage techniques, TTouch in particular, that can be helpful.\n- Pheromones called D.A.P, for dogs, or Feliway, for cats, which come as sprays and collars, are also good natural calming agent adjuncts. These can be found at most major pet stores or on-line.\n- Also, check with your vet that none of these items would be contraindicated for your pet’s health or react with any current medications your pet may be receiving prior to administering them.\n- Additionally, if you know an event is coming (like a thunderstorm or fireworks display), make sure your dog gets her regular dose of exercise and if possible, a bit more, prior to the event, as this will help tire her out both mentally and physically. This can be of benefit in two ways: it can results in her not being as responsive to the event due to being tired. Also, exercise increases her natural serotonin levels which can help with relaxation.\nWhat are the long-term solutions?\n- Behavior modification, under the supervision of a trainer or veterinary behaviorist, is something you can discuss. This is a slow process with many different approaches. Each case is individual, so it must be addressed one on one and is too complicated and personalized to properly address in this post. It can be very rewarding, with dedication, patience, and time, but it is not something you can consider when your pet is in the middle of an anxiety causing event. There is no guarantee a phobic dog can be “cured”, but generally with time and understanding, it can become manageable with the right awareness and tools, which involves a lengthy personalized training process as well as possibly medications that can hopefully be tapered over time as the retraining occurs. This is something to consider moving forward to hopefully make future events less stressful for everyone.\n- Medication is often used both on a long-term daily basis and an as needed basis for dogs with anxiety. You should discuss with your veterinarian whether they think an anti-anxiety medication may be helpful for your pet. Many pet owners find having short-term anti-anxiety medications on hand for their pets, for use around the fourth of July and during storms, is extremely helpful. Your vet will have to perform and an exam and discuss all options with you prior to prescribing these for your pet. If you are wondering if it could be a good option for your pet, call and discuss it with your vet NOW, before you or your pet are in an urgent situation, most likely when your vet will be closed. You also want to give your vet time to review your pet’s case and prescribe the proper medication. Calling them an hour before they close on July 3rd, when they will likely be closed on the 4th, is not a very pro-active option, or at least not likely to ensure you will receive a response in time.\n- When using any anti-anxiety remedies, they must be given prior to the stressful event in order to take full effect. If they are not given until the pet is already fully stressed out, the body’s hormones will override the benefits of the medications. As a result, they will not have nearly the effect of relieving the anxiety episodes as they would if first given when the pet is still calm. If you know fireworks are scheduled for 7pm, for example, you’ll want to begin preparing an area for your dog and using any calming agents early in the afternoon.\nFinally, remember to remain calm yourself. Pets do pick up on our emotions and a stressed owner will not be able to calm a stressed pet. Try to remain as calm, steady, and as in control as possible. Getting upset at your pet for her behavior will only make it worse, but remember, do not inadvertently reward the behavior with excessive coddling either. Try to help your pet find a way to self soothe by finding a safe secure location, and put on quiet music or television as a distraction, and wait it out until the stressful event has passed.\nHopefully these tips can help you and your pet have a safe happy 4th of July and summer thunderstorm season.

If so, you may be eligible for reciprocal health care agreements with other countries. One such agreement is the Reciprocal Health Care Agreement (RHCA) between the United Kingdom and several other countries. In this article, we’ll discuss what the RHCA is and how it can benefit you during your travels.\nWhat is a Reciprocal Health Care Agreement?\nReciprocal Health Care Agreements are mutual agreements between countries that provide citizens with access to health care services while they are travelling abroad. These agreements allow UK citizens to access medical treatment in other countries as well as allow citizens of other countries to access medical treatment while in the UK.\nWhat is the Reciprocal Health Care Agreement United Kingdom?\nThe RHCA is an agreement between the United Kingdom and several other countries. The countries included in the agreement are Australia, New Zealand, Barbados, Bermuda, Bosnia and Herzegovina, British Virgin Islands, Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Isle of Man, Jersey, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and St. Helena.\nUnder the agreement, UK citizens who are travelling to or living in one of these countries can get access to medical treatment on the same terms as the residents of that country. This means that UK citizens can get medical treatment for free or at a reduced cost. However, the treatment has to be essential or urgent medical treatment that can’t wait until the person returns to the UK.\nWhat Does the RHCA Cover?\nThe RHCA provides UK citizens with access to essential or urgent medical treatment while they are travelling or living in one of the countries included in the agreement. The type of medical treatment covered varies by country, but it typically includes:\n– Emergency treatment\n– Treatment for pre-existing medical conditions\n– Maternity care\n– Prescription medication\n– Access to medical specialists\n– Hospital treatment\nIt’s important to note that the RHCA doesn’t cover the cost of medical treatment for non-essential or non-urgent medical conditions. Additionally, the agreement doesn’t cover the cost of repatriation, which is the process of returning a person to their home country for medical treatment.\nHow to Access Health Care Services Under the RHCA\nIf you’re travelling to one of the countries included in the RHCA, it’s important to carry your UK passport with you. You’ll need to present it to the health care provider to prove that you’re eligible for treatment under the agreement.\nIt’s also a good idea to familiarize yourself with the health care system in the country you’re travelling to. This can help you understand what health care services are available and how to access them.\nThe Reciprocal Health Care Agreement United Kingdom is a valuable resource for UK citizens who are travelling to or living in one of the countries included in the agreement. It provides essential or urgent medical treatment for free or at a reduced cost. If you’re planning to travel abroad, it’s important to know about the health care services available to you.

The eyes of most patients heal on their own within six months without any additional treatment from their eye doctor.\nA side effect of a surgery is considered to be the body's reaction to the surgical procedure that is not related to any error which may have resulted from the surgery. Overall, it is very important to be aware of all of the known side effects of laser surgery when considering this procedure.\nHalos affect the patient's night vision. They occur at night when looking at bright lights, and are characterized by blurred images with circles radiating from the center. If untreated they may prevent the person from driving at night. Although they often heal themselves within two months, glasses or additional surgery may sometimes be required to correct the halo effect. Halos are one of most common known side effects of LASIK, and have a greater tendency to develop if a patient had a condition prior to the surgery in which the pupils dilated larger than seven millimeters in the dark, if there were any flap complications during the surgery, or if a person has any problems recovering from the surgery.\nSensitivity to Light\nAlthough this is also among the most common of all known side effects of LASIK surgery, this condition usually resolves itself after the first few days following surgery.\nThis condition is characterized by visual dimness and loss of visual clarity, and occurs with greater frequency in patients who had been taking hormone therapy prior to the LASIK surgery. This condition typically heals itself within the first three months after surgery.\nDry Eye is one of the more common among the known side effects of LASIK surgery and is characterized primarily by dry, itchy eyes; other symptoms associated with this condition may include redness, blurring, crustiness, or the feeling that there is a foreign object or dust in the eye. This condition usually subsides within the first three months after surgery and may be treated with lubricating eye drops in the meantime.\nApproximately 0.1 percent of all patients suffer from corneal infection after PRK and slightly fewer after LASIK. This usually means an additional discomfort and slower healing, but no long-term effects after a period of four years.\nUnder correction or overcorrection is also one of the most common side effects of laser eye surgery. A surgeon cannot predict precisely how your eyes will respond to treatment. This means you might need to keep wearing corrective lenses after surgery. In some situations, you can have another surgical procedure to improve the results.\nDecrease in Best-Corrected Vision\nAfter a laser eye surgery, a few patients find that their best-corrected vision with contact lenses is worse than before. This is also one of the side effects of laser eye surgery, usually resulting from irregular tissue removal.\nCorneal haze is part of the normal recovering process after a PRK procedure. It usually has no significant effect on the final vision and can be noticed only by an ophthalmologist with a microscope. However, in some cases, excessive haze can interfere with vision. The risk for having this side effect is much lower with LASIK than PRK.\nThis side effect of laser eye surgery can only affect patients undergoing a LASIK procedure. In some cases, instead of creating a hinged flap on the center of the cornea, the entire flap tissue comes off. This can usually be replaced after the laser treatment. However, in some cases, the flap can be damaged or lost.\nThis side effect of laser eye surgery also affects only patients who have had a LASIK procedure. It consists of a distortion in the shape of the cornea created during the healing process, which can result in a lower best-corrected vision.\nEven when both the procedure and the healing process seem to go perfectly, there are some side effects that may still cause dissatisfaction. Older patients, for example, cannot have both good distance and near vision in the same eye without wearing glasses or contact lenses.

Antigen tests commonly involve detection of virus from a respiratory sample, such as a nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal/nasal swab.5 The gold standard method of SARS-CoV-2 detection remains RT-PCR (reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction),1 a laboratory-based technique that commonly detects more than one target sequence, such as RNA encoding ORF1b, the spike or nucleocapsid proteins. 4,6\nSARS-CoV-2 antibody tests (also known as COVID-19 antibody tests), on the other hand, are used to determine if an individual has encountered the virus previously and usually require a whole blood, plasma or serum sample to be taken after the onset of symptoms (>10 days).6 COVID-19 antibody tests commonly detect antibodies to the spike and/or nucleocapsid proteins.6\nUnlike SARS-CoV-2 antigen detection, there is no gold standard method for COVID-19 antibody detection, meaning that it can be difficult to determine unbiased test sensitivity when evaluating new serology assays.7 Laboratory-based chemiluminescence (CLIA) or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) are commonly used to detect SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, and may be used in combination as a composite reference.8 CLIA and ELISA methods have a high sample throughput, but usually require a venous blood sample, which has additional resource implications.\nUnlike RT-PCR and CLIA or ELISA methods, lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs) offer a rapid, point-of-care (POC) solution for COVID-19 diagnosis. LFIAs comprise a single use cassette (Box 1) that provide a result within 10-15 minutes without the need for a sample to be sent to the laboratory, thereby offering flexible, decentralised testing options for patient diagnosis and purposes of public health surveillance.9\nThe Fortress COVID-19 Total Antibody Device\nThe Fortress COVID-19 Total Antibody Device (Figure 1) is a single use, closed system, cassette-based in vitro immunochromatographic device for the qualitative detection of total antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in human serum, plasma or whole blood specimens. The kit is intended for screening of patients suspected for infection with SARS-CoV-2, and as an aid in the diagnosis of COVID-19. The device comprises a control line and two test lines, one for detection of IgM and the other for detection of IgG.\nApplications of COVID-19 antibody tests\nDiagnostically, SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests are useful for patients with suspected COVID-19 who have Diagnostically, COVID-19 antibody tests are useful for patients with suspected infection with SARS-CoV-2 who have tested negative by RT-PCR; this may occur during the later stages of the disease when detectable virus may no longer be present.10 COVID-19 antibody tests are also useful for the diagnosis of asymptomatic/mild cases who may not have been tested for SARS-CoV-2 at all.\nIn terms of disease prevalence, antibody tests may be used for community screening of immune response to SARS-CoV-2. Monitoring the seroprevalence in the wider population may serve to 10,11\n- identify/quantify the extent to which a population has been exposed to the virus,\n- make predictions for how the pandemic may continue in the UK,\n- characterise the epidemiology of the disease, such as identification of groups most at risk of infection of severe disease, and\n- inform public health policy during the pandemic and longer term.\nInexpensive, point-of-care tests that require minimal training to complete and provide easy-to-interpret results, provide a source of inexpensive, widespread testing without direct laboratory support, enabling a much wider reach and impact of testing.\nRapid COVID-19 antibody tests: associated caveats\nAs with any diagnostic test, there are certain caveats associated with the application and widespread rollout of rapid antibody tests.\nWhile rapid antibody tests offer a practical approach to identify individuals with previous exposure to SARS-CoV-2, further research is required to understand how antibody production maps to protection from infection. Currently there is no global standard for correlates of protection to SARS-CoV-2.12\nAdditionally, a negative result does not preclude the possibility of a previous encounter with SARS-CoV-2. There are multiple explanations for a negative result, not least the complexity of the human immune system. Various factors influence antibody production, such as when the blood sample was taken (LFIA are known to have variable sensitivity if used <21 days after symptom onset),13 age (extremes of age may not produce antibodies at the same speed/level as other age groups), and general health/comorbidities, (conditions causing suppression of the immune system).\nIdentifying the Landmark UK COVID-19 Surveillance Programme\nIn the UK, one landmark surveillance programme has been pivotal to our understanding of SARS-CoV-2, the disease spectrum it causes, and assessment of our response to natural infection and vaccination.\nThe REACT (REal time Assessment of Community Transmission) programme,14 commissioned by the Department of Health and Social Care, aimed to improve understanding of how the COVID pandemic was progressing across England.\nThe programme comprises two parts:\n- REACT 1: monthly home-based antigen testing to determine current SARS-CoV-2 infection levels, and\n- REACT 2: six weekly home-based antibody testing to determine how many people have been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 and have developed antibodies.\nThe REACT 2 arm of the programme required a reliable, rapid antibody POC test for use throughout the longevity of the study. To identify the highest performing LFIA available on the market, the REACT team extensively evaluated the suitability of a number of rapid antibody kits. Based on performance results, plus concordance between participant and observer finger prick result interpretation, and the availability of the kits on a large scale, the Fortress rapid antibody test was identified as the LFIA of choice for the REACT 2 study.\nFurther details of the REACT 2 programme and its seminal publications can be found in the reference list and resource box.\nRapid antibody testing supported the roadmap out of lockdown\nThe availability and systematic validation of rapid antibody LFIAs, for example Fortress Diagnostics COVID-19 Rapid Antibody test, available in the UK, enabled widespread population-based surveillance of the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2. Results from longitudinal studies, such as REACT 2, generated much needed high-quality evidence that informed how the pandemic was progressing in England. This evidence supported decision-making at crucial timepoints, including when it was safe to lift restrictions and enable the country to move out of lockdown.\nSee the full article here: Rapid antibody testing: a critical tool in understanding COVID-19 prevalence\nFollow us on social networks to keep up to date with our latest news and blogs\n1.

A current research study by Peapod of 1,000 full-time office employees discovered that while 55% of respondents were “extremely” or “really delighted” with their tasks, the stats considerably increased to 66% when free food was provided by their company.\nSupplying food for the office can go a long way in improving and increasing worker spirits, which in turn can have some terrific results that will benefit your bottom line and increase worker productivity.\nBelow are some reasons that supplying food or snacks for your staff members can benefit your service and make you one of the most magnificent business leaders.\nIncreases cooperation and constructs connections\nProviding workplace catering enables staff members to get together and start to form more powerful and more positive connections with each other. They’ll start to interact, interact and develop relationships with people from other departments. Conversations in between individuals who wouldn’t generally connect might brighten locations in your organisation you didn’t understand were there to begin with, or produce new ideas.\nIt’s an excellent method for staff to charge\nAll of us need breaks at work, but not everybody takes one. It’s estimated that more than 50% of workers consume lunch at their desk every day, with the excuse that they’re “too hectic” or it’s just “simpler”. It is essential to performance (and their peace of mind), that staff members take a break and providing free lunch, whether it’s as soon as a week or as soon as a month, provides your personnel that much required time to re-energize, recharge and refocus for the remainder of the day.\nIt can boost morale\nOffering workers with complimentary food can boost morale, more than motivational speaking from a professional, according to a Glass door survey, and a pleased worker is an hard worker. A current study found that better workers are 12% more efficient. Now that’s a win for everyone!\nA healthier workforce\nA healthy worker is more efficient and is sick less typically. Through your choice of food and workplace snacks, you can also produce and promote a healthy food environment in the office by choosing fresh and real food. It’s typically too easy to get a quick lunch that’s unhealthy and carb-heavy, however with the best lunch ingredients that are well balanced and healthy, you can improve brain power by as much as 20% and achieve more at work!\nHaving a healthy and balanced diet plan during the work day can assist:\n– Increase concentration\n– Raises mood\n– Combat fatigue and helps you remain alert\n– Improve memory\n– Boost staff member engagement and morale\nBesides office catering, why rule out purchasing a coffee maker for your staff so they don’t need to waste time leaving the office and waiting in line?

Additionally, some devices provide personalized workout recommendations and tips, making it easier for individuals to optimize their exercise routines for better results.\nData Analysis and Insights\nThe data collected by wearable devices play a crucial role in providing valuable insights into an individual’s health and fitness trends over time. This data can be analyzed using sophisticated algorithms to identify patterns and correlations, helping users and healthcare professionals make informed decisions about lifestyle changes, exercise routines, and overall well-being. Moreover, researchers can utilize this aggregated data to conduct large-scale studies, leading to advancements in the understanding and treatment of various health conditions.\nChallenges and Future Prospects\nWhile wearable technology has made significant strides in health monitoring and fitness tracking, challenges remain, including data security and privacy concerns, accuracy of measurements, and the need for seamless integration with existing healthcare systems.

Respecting that each woman has her own story, her own aspirations and her own needs. Dr Connan aims to empower women so that they can better understand their own bodies and so improve and maintain their health in partnership with her care.\nPatient-centered care best describes Kirsten's approach to her patients. She believes passionately in the importance of inclusiveness and transparency in healthcare, ensuring women and their families completely understand their options and the reasons for her medical recommendations, so that each can make informed decisions.\nShe advocates for individualised care. Every woman and her circumstances are unique – and so should be their obstetric and gynaecological care. By respecting the uniqueness of each woman and empowering through education, Kirsten seeks to provide the highest quality obstetric & gynaecology care that every woman deserves.\nDr Connan's clinical experience spans capital cities, regional centres, developing countries and both public and private medicine in Australia.\nThe most influential years of her training and specialist practice were proudly undertaken at Australia's largest maternity hospital, Melbourne's Royal Women's Hospital, with specialist training in high-risk obstetrics, advanced laparoscopic surgery and obstetric ultrasound.\nIn addition to important foundations of study, training and surgical experience, Kirsten strongly believes in the importance of obstetricians and gynaecological surgeons maintaining and growing their knowledge and skills through continual professional development.\nKirsten's disciplined focus on very specific and complementary areas – obstetrics, including high-risk obstetrics, pelvic pain & endometriosis, advanced laparoscopic surgery and obstetric ultrasound – allows her to maintain a high level of expertise in all her areas of clinical practice.\nDr Connan completed her specialist OBGYN training in 2010, becoming a proud Fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG).\nKirsten has more recently furthered her passion for education and teaching, completing a Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma, and finally a Master of Clinical Education in 2017 through the University of Melbourne.\nDr Connan's educational interest is both for the training of junior doctors, and importantly also for the patients she cares for – so that all women may better understand their bodies and so improve their health and well-being.\nIn 2011, Kirsten was awarded a Diploma of Diagnostic Ultrasound (Obstetrics & Gynaecology) from the Australian Society for Ultrasound in Medicine (ASUM), following training and work at East Melbourne Ultrasound under the guidance of internationally renowned specialist obstetric sonologist Dr Andrew Ngu.\nKirsten's additional ultrasound skills and qualifications beyond those of a general ObGyn help guide both her complex-pregnancy care and her management of women with endometriosis and pelvic pain.\nBefore commencing specialist O&G training in 2004, Dr Connan completed her Diploma of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists as a junior doctor. This provided an invaluable foundation for her later specialist training.\nIn 2012 and 2013 Kirsten was a DRANZCOG examiner for the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, before becoming an examiner of specialist FRANZCOG candidates in 2014 .\nDr Connan began her life-long dream to study medicine and train as a doctor when she commenced her medical degree as part of Sydney University's first Graduate Medical Program cohort in 1997. Four years later she proudly graduated with her Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery, with Honours.\nKirsten began her tertiary education at the University of Melbourne, completing a Bachelor of Science in 1996 with majors in Anatomy and Physiology. Her later calling to specialise in Obstetrics and Gynaecology was hinted at by her early passion for Embryology during her Bachelor of Science years.\nIn 2016 Kirsten was honoured to win the Telstra Tasmanian Business Women's Entrepreneur Award for her business leadership at TasOGS.\nThe values and priorities that Dr Connan expresses in both her clinical and business domains were instrumental in her selection and recognition for this Business Women's Award. Kirsten strongly believes that running an effective and efficient healthcare business with integrity is not just a nice-to-have, but is essential to delivering high-quality healthcare and meeting the health needs of Tasmania's women.\nClinical excellence cannot exist without business excellence. Whether it is the too-often neglected issue of patients waiting excessively to be seen, or the lack of transparency in medical and surgical fees, the quality and business competency of medical practices has a very real impact on clinical care.\nDr Connan strives to keep the reliability and efficiency of TasOGS as a practice and business, closely aligned with the high quality healthcare that she passionately believes women of Tasmania deserve.\nWomen deserve to be cared for by doctors who are themselves at their best. Well rested, focused and balanced – doctors able to give their full attention to the physical and mental health of their patients.\nKirsten recognises the challenges of modern life – balancing the competing priorities of health, family, work and holistic wellbeing. It is not uncommon for doctors to struggle to find a harmony between work and greater life, with the physical and mental health of many suffering as a consequence. This is not ideal for patient care.\nKirsten is an avid runner. Whether running the trails of Freycinet, Tough Mudder adventure races, half marathons, or the footpaths of Hobart, she knows the importance of maintaining both her mind and health. She enjoys expressing her competitive streak, playing hockey for Hobart's Diamond Backs, and chasing her family on mountain bike through Tassie's mountain trails.\nMost importantly, Kirsten knows her limits. She actively manages her work intensity to ensure patients have a well-rested obstetrician delivering their precious baby, and a calm, focused surgeon performing their operation. Too often Kirsten sees healthcare providers neglecting self-care. Acknowledging that this is not always easy, especially for those of us that work on-call, this should nonetheless be a priority for all doctors. Dr Connan's transparent covering arrangement is vital to achieving this.\nKirsten was born in Tonga in the South Pacific, to missionary parents, giving her a diverse cultural exposure at an early age.\nAfter primary schooling in Pasadena, California, her family returned to Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula, where she continued her schooling. Following graduation from Frankston High School, Kirsten completed a Bachelor of Science with Honours at the University Melbourne. Majors in Anatomy and Physiology, and a love of Embryology, then lead her to Sydney University, where she completed her medical degree with honours.\nKirsten has long explored her interest in different cultures through work, study and travel. As a medical student she enjoyed the opportunity to live and work in remote South Australian Indigenous communities through a John Flynn scholarship. Later as a senior medical student she worked and studied both back in her birth country, Tonga, and also in Andhra Pradesh, India, exploring the diversity of the world's second most populous country.\nKirsten's childhood years growing up in Tonga have given her a rich appreciation of the importance of diversity, not just culturally but across many facets of the human condition. As a specialist obstetrician & gynaecologist she has continued to practice across a wide range of cultural settings, whether with indigenous communities in Australia's Northern Territory, teaching midwives in Tonga or gynaecologists in Mongolia.\nDr Connan brings this same cultural sensitivity and respect for diversity to her practice in Hobart.", "domain": "health"}

For men who spend long hours on their feet or struggle with foot pain, finding the best arch support is essential. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll delve into everything you need to know about choosing the best arch support for men. From understanding the importance of arch support to providing recommendations, we’ve got you covered.\nThe Importance of Arch Support\nArch support in footwear and orthotic devices is crucial for maintaining good foot health and overall body alignment. Here are the key reasons why proper arch support is important:\n- Prevents Foot Pain and Discomfort: Proper arch support can significantly reduce the risk of foot pain and discomfort. Conditions like plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and high arches can lead to chronic pain, which can be alleviated with appropriate arch support.\n- Enhances Foot Function: The arch of the foot plays a key role in how you walk and stand. Adequate support helps in maintaining the natural structure and function of the foot, ensuring efficient movement and reducing strain on the foot muscles and ligaments.\n- Improves Posture and Alignment: Proper arch support contributes to better posture and alignment of the entire body. It helps in distributing weight evenly across the feet, which can prevent or alleviate pain in the knees, hips, and lower back.\n- Reduces Risk of Injuries: Good arch support can decrease the risk of foot and ankle injuries, particularly during physical activities or sports. It provides stability and helps in preventing overpronation (excessive inward rolling of the foot) and supination (outward rolling).\n- Enhances Athletic Performance: For athletes,proper arch support is essential for optimal performance. It improves foot mechanics, which can enhance agility, balance, and overall athletic ability.\n- Increases Comfort During Prolonged Standing or Walking: Individuals who spend long hours on their feet can benefit greatly from arch support. It reduces foot fatigue and discomfort, making prolonged standing or walking more manageable.\n- Facilitates Weight Distribution: Arch support aids in evenly distributing body weight across the feet, which is important for maintaining balance and preventing pressure points and overloading of certain foot areas.\n- Helps in Managing Certain Health Conditions: For those with diabetes, arthritis, or obesity, proper arch support can be crucial in managing foot-related complications associated with these conditions.\n- Improves Overall Foot Health: Regular use of well-supported footwear can contribute to long-term foot health, preventing the development of more serious foot problems over time.\nBenefits of Using Arch Support\nIncorporating arch support into your footwear can have a significant impact on your overall foot health and comfort. Here are the key benefits of using arch support:\n- Alleviates Foot Pain: Arch supports can help alleviate pain associated with various foot conditions, such as plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and high arches. They provide the necessary support to the arch, reducing strain on the foot muscles and ligaments.\n- Improves Foot and Ankle Stability: By supporting the arch, these devices help stabilize the foot and ankle, reducing the risk of injuries, especially during physical activities.\n- Enhances Walking and Running Mechanics: Proper arch support improves the mechanics of walking and running. It facilitates a more natural foot movement, which can enhance efficiency and reduce fatigue.\n- Prevents Overpronation and Supination: Arch supports can help correct overpronation (excessive inward rolling of the foot) and supination (outward rolling), common issues that can lead to foot and ankle problems.\n- Reduces Stress on Joints: By aligning the feet properly, arch supports can also reduce the stress and strain on the knees, hips, and lower back, potentially alleviating pain in these areas.\n- Increases Comfort for Prolonged Standing: For individuals who spend long hours standing, arch supports can make a significant difference in comfort, reducing foot fatigue and discomfort.\n- Helps in Weight Distribution: They assist in evenly distributing body weight across the feet, which is crucial for maintaining balance and avoiding pressure points.\n- Beneficial for Overall Posture: Correct alignment of the feet with adequate arch support can contribute to better overall posture and spinal alignment.\n- Can Aid in Athletic Performance: Athletes may find that arch supports enhance their performance by providing better stability and reducing the risk of foot-related injuries.\n- Useful for People with Specific Health Conditions: Those with conditions like diabetes or arthritis can benefit from arch supports, as they help in managing foot-related symptoms and complications associated with these diseases.\nHow to Choose the Right Arch Support\nHow to Choose the Right Arch Support\nSelecting the right arch support is crucial for comfort and effectiveness. Here are some guidelines to help you make the best choice:\n- Know Your Foot Type: Understand your arch type – low, medium, or high. This can be determined through a wet test at home or by a professional foot assessment. Each arch type has different support needs.\n- Consider Your Foot Condition: If you have specific foot conditions like plantar fasciitis, flat feet, or high arches, look for arch supports designed to address these issues.\n- Check the Material: Arch supports come in various materials like foam, gel, plastic, or a combination. Foam offers cushioning, gel provides shock absorption, and plastic gives firm support. Choose based on your comfort preference and the level of support you need.\n- Fit with Your Footwear: Ensure that the arch support fits well in your regular footwear. It should not make your shoes too tight or alter your foot position within the shoe.\n- Activity Level Consideration: If you are an athlete or engage in regular physical activities, look for arch supports that provide both support and flexibility. For daily use, comfort and cushioning might be more important.\n- Seek Professional Advice: If possible, consult a podiatrist or a foot care specialist, especially if you have chronic foot problems. They can provide recommendations based on a detailed analysis of your feet.\n- Comfort is Key: When trying out arch supports, walk around with them\nto ensure they feel comfortable. They should support the arch without causing pressure or discomfort.\n- Adjustment Period: Be aware that there might be an adjustment period. Good arch support may feel odd or uncomfortable at first, especially if you’re not used to it. Give it some time to adapt to your feet.\n- Read Reviews and Testimonials: Look for user reviews and testimonials, especially from people with similar foot types or conditions. This can provide insight into the effectiveness and comfort of the arch support.\n- Consider Durability and Maintenance: Check the durability and how easy it is to clean and maintain the arch supports. Some may require more frequent replacement or special care.\n- Budget: While it’s important to invest in good-quality arch supports, they should also fit within your budget. More expensive doesn’t always mean better, so consider cost-effectiveness.\nFinding the Best Arch Support for Men\nAtlas Arch Support is a specialized brand in the foot care market, focusing on providing high-quality arch support solutions.

What do all those numbers mean? Hopefully this will help!\nDry Matter (DM) is the amount of dry matter in the forage. It should be at least 80% but 85% and above is preferable to prevent heating during storage, forage deterioration and combustion.\nCrude Protein (CP) is the amount of Nitrogen. It varies depending on species, stage of maturity and fertilization but is generally between 15-23% for legumes and 8-18% for grasses.\nUnavailable Protein is the portion of protein that is bound and therefore un-useable by the animal. Small percentages of unavailable protein are normal.\nAdjusted Crude Protein is the value used to evaluate the forage and balance rations. It will usually be the same as the Crude Protein value, unless significant heat damage has occurred.\nAcid Detergent Fiber (ADF) uses 2 of the fiber components of the cell wall - lignin and cellulose, to determine how well the animal will be able to digest the forage. The higher the ADF, the lower the digestibility will be.\nNeutral Detergent Fiber (NDF) is the total cell wall – lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose and is used to determine how much dry matter the animal can eat. As NDF increases, the dry matter intake usually decreases. This could affect the ability of the equine to eat enough feed to meet the daily nutritional requirements.\nDigestive Energy (DE) is just a hint of what the actual amount of energy the animal has available for use might be. It is the gross energy in the forage minus the energy that is lost in feces.\nTotal Digestive Nutrients (TDN) is the sum of the digestible portions of protein, fat, fiber and other nutrients and gives us an approximate energy value of a forage. The higher the TDN, the better quality forage.\nNon Fiber Carbohydrates (NFC) is the measure of the starch and simple sugars in a forage. These are particularly important for horses that are prone to laminitis and those that are insulin resistant.\nAsh is the total mineral content of the forage. This includes the minerals inside the plant (internal) and those that are in the dirt picked up during the harvesting process (external). The average internal ash for legumes is around 8% and 6% for grasses, anything more would be from the external sources (dirt/soil accumulated during harvesting, raking and baling). The average ash content for all types of hay is between 9-10%.\nMinerals are essential to the health and wellbeing of all animals. Most feed reports analyze forages for Calcium, Phosphorus, Sulfur, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium, Copper, Iron, Manganese and Zinc. The daily recommended values of these minerals will change depending on age, weight and activity level so you should check with your veterinarian or local extension agent after receiving your results to see if your forage will meet these needs.\nFor more information about how to test your hay and interpret the report, contact your local livestock agent.", "domain": "health"}

Read below for travel friendly snacking ideas and be adventurous in choosing and creating your own snack ideas. Try for snacks that are #1: healthy, #2: not too messy, and #3: do not require refrigeration.\nFresh Fruit– bring fresh fruit that won’t bruise easily and has a longer shelf life such as apples, orange, clementines, blueberries, and grapes. Fruit and vegetable squeeze pouches are also a good option but can get messy with younger kids.\nDried Fruit– these have potential to contain lots of extra sugar so be sure to read nutrition labels and choose those with less sugar.\nVeggies– Prepare veggies such as carrot and celery sticks and sliced peppers cucumbers.\nGranola bars– choose healthy bars such as Kind bars, Cliff bars, or other organic granola bar versions. Read labels and choose those with few ingredients that you are able to pronounce. Also try making your own granola bars, although these tend to be soft and may be messier than store bought bars.\nNuts and trail mixes– almonds, walnuts, pecans, cashews and other mix nut blends are very travel friendly. Be sure to check labels for sodium content of nut mixes and review ingredients labels.\nCrackers & Chips– choose ones made without hydrogenated oils and minimal ingredients. Pretzels, veggie straws, baked chips, popcorn, and puffs are also good options.\nDrinks– Pack a water bottle or sippy cup that can be refilled easy.

These growth hormones help you increase the rate at which your body replaces tissue, eventually acting as an anti-aging supplement. Because the body uses human growth hormones to maintain and grow different organs in your body, once you begin to increase the amount of growth hormones in your body, you immediately begin to feel younger and more energetic.\nCompared to other types of HGH supplements, sprays tend to be one of the safest and painless options. These hormone sprays are normally sprayed directly into the mouth, whereby the mix of vitamins, minerals and HGH are absorbed through the mouth, and directly administered into the bloodstream. Once circulated throughout the body through the bloodstream, the HGH mix eventually reaches the brain and stimulates the pituitary gland, which results in an increase in growth hormones levels throughout the body.\nBecause of its method of application, HGH sprays can be beneficial to you in many ways. Apart from having a direct effect on your muscles in helping them achieve grow bigger and stronger, these sprays also stimulate tissue and cell growth, which results in an increased rate of fat being burnt from the body. Another positive outcome of using HGH sprays is that you will immediately experienced higher energy levels, increased stamina and even better sleep. These are all brought about by an increase in growth hormone levels, thereby enabling the body to perform better.\nYou will be surprised to know that even though there are so many benefits of using HGH sprays, there are no known side effects. Even if the sprays have been accidentally ingested into the stomach, growth hormones are a natural part of the body's system, which is why it is never harmful to the body. However, you should always remember to follow the recommended dosage, which is normally about 3 sprays directly into the mouth, twice a day.\nIn addition to this, you should also seek advice from a qualified medical practitioner, before embarking on any HGH spray treatment. Another common guideline for HGH products is that it should never be used by anyone under 35 years of age, or women who are pregnant. Also, should you be currently undergoing any form of medical treatment or following a certain course of prescribed medication, it is not normally recommended that you take up any HGH spray treatments.", "domain": "health"}

This wound heals over a 2-3 week period. The wound fills with granulation tissue which is tissue involved in the healing process. This tissue has a yellow/white appearance. The healing process will always result is some amount of re-attachment.\nShould one get a repeat division of the re-attached clinically significant tongue tie?\nUnfortunately if a tongue tie has re-attached once there is a 50% chance it will re-attach following a repeat procedure. One would also be expected to do deep wound massage during the aftercare to reduce the chance of further re-attachment. This deeper wound massage is very difficult to do and most parents struggle to do it as it causes a lot of distress for babies and parents.\nOverall I do not recommend repeat divisions for the above reasons. I am happy to reassess re-attachments and I would consider repeat frenotomy for certain cases.\nIf you have any further queries regarding re-attachments or you would like a reassessment then I would advise one to book an appointment at the clinic as it is impossible to assess the degree of re-attachment over the phone.\nReducing the risk of re-attachment and improving tongue mobility\nIn the first 5 days following the procedure it is especially important that the baby is breastfed 2-3 hourly during the course of each 24 hours. This often means waking the baby to ensure that they feed. If they are having supplements by syringe or bottle, it is important to ensure that they are breastfed for at least 15-20 minutes before the supplement is offered. I would also advise avoiding pacifiers/soothers for 5 days following the procedure.\nThere are also mobility and myofascial exercises which help encourage tongue movement and help to improve the tongue’s range of movement, and help to reduce re-attachment.\nThese exercises are easy to perform and are not traumatic.\nI recommend performing the exercises 4 times daily.\nPlease click link below to view video to assist you with exercises.\nGentle massage of wound\nThere is no significant evidence at this time to suggest that wound massage will reduce the risk of re-attachment. I have consulted several experts from around the world who believe they have a 1-2% risk of re-attachment in infants that undergo post frenotomy wound massage. This is a reduction from 4% with no wound massage performed.\nSome babies appear to tolerate wound massage while others do not.\nI performed a frenotomy on my son who had an anterior tongue tie. He could not tolerate the wound massage. His frenulum re-attached to about 30%. He breastfed without difficulty but he did continue to suffer with reflux. The re-attachment may have contributed to this.\nMy daughter had a posterior tongue tie which I released. Again I was unable to perform the wound massage. She has perfect post procedure result with only 5% re-attachment and she had no feeding issues.\nThis is my personal experience that I felt I should share with parents. It not a clinically significant trial!\nI advise attempting the wound massage and assessing how your baby responds. A reduction from 2% to 4% is significant but it does not guarantee that there will be no re-attachment.\nAfter the procedure I will instruct you on how to perform a gentle wound massage. I do not advise on deep or aggressive stretching exercises which involve re-opening the wound.\nIf your baby tolerates the massage then I would advise performing the massage for 4 seconds, 4 times per day for 4 weeks.\nThere have been reported cases of bleeding which has occurred some time after tongue-tie division, usually on the same day, when the babies have returned home. If this occurs the bleeding is usually very light and is triggered by strenuous crying ( resulting in the tongue lifting and disturbing the wound) or when the wound is disturbed during feeding, particularly if the wound is caught by a bottle teat or tip of a nipple shield.\n- If you notice any blood in your baby’s mouth then offer the baby the breast or bottle and feed them. This will usually stop the bleeding within a few minutes just as it did immediately after the procedure. If the baby refuses to feed then sucking on a dummy/pacifier or your clean finger will have a similar effect.\n- If the bleeding is very heavy or does not reduce with feeding and stop within 15 minutes then apply pressure to the wound under the tongue with one finger using a clean piece of gauze or muslin for 5 minutes. Do not apply pressure under the baby’s chin as this can affect breathing.\n- If bleeding continues after this time continue to apply pressure to the wound and take your baby to hospital (call an ambulance if you live more than a very short distance from the Accident and Emergency Department).", "domain": "health"}

I’m required to do 50 hours of Continuing Medical Education every year, and a conference is a good way to get through a good bit of it in one sitting (or five, as the case may be).\nMy favorite lecture by far was the Wilderness Medicine lecture. At first glance, the topic didn’t seem all that applicable to me, but I am definitely glad I stayed, and took notes. Plus, the lecturer’s name was Dr. Donner, and who wouldn’t want to learn about wilderness survival from someone with that name?\nThe physician had led trips down the Grand Canyon, through wilderness in Africa, and even to the Himalayas. He served on the NASA advisory panel to determine medical supplies needed on the Space Station. His stories were fascinating. His advice was even better.\nAs I sat there listening, I realized that I was getting a great list of medical supplies to take with us when we go to Africa ourselves. Sure, we won’t be climbing a mountain, or white water rafting down a gorge, but we will be exposed to unfamiliar elements without access to Western medicine . . . unless we bring it ourselves.\nOf course, much of what he talked about was prescription medications, but I thought some of his recommendations for over-the-counter products were pretty ingenious.\nSo here’s a list of over-the-counter medical supplies you might consider taking in a medical kit if you’re traveling to a place where medical care isn’t readily accessible, and space is an issue (international travel, hiking, camping, etc.) in addition to a regular first-aid kit.\n- Aleve. Pain reliever is important, but to reduce the number of pills you have to pack, take this 12-hour pain reliever instead of Tylenol or Advil, which is dosed more frequently.\n- DON’T take capsules of any kind. Just a touch of moisture and you’ve got a druggy icky mess.\n- Afrin. Nosebleeds are common when traveling. If it’s a minor nosebleed, sit down, gently blow your nose to clear clots, and then sniff some Afrin nasal spray. It reduces blood supply, and stops the bleeding. If it doesn’t work, hold pressure for 20 minutes without peeking.\n- Cough drops. And albuterol. Okay, so albuterol is a prescription, but if anyone has EVER used albuterol, it’s good for them to bring along. One or two puffs are great for coughs induced by exercise or infection.\n- No-Doz. If it’s not you, it’s going to be someone else on your trip. Someone will be a caffeine addict and get a raging headache on morning #2. You will be their best friend if you can give them one of these with a couple of Aleve. They may even need to carry your pack for a while in exchange.\n- Heartburn medication. My personal preference is a PPI like omeprazole, and some Tums. One works slow and long, the other fast and short.\n- Miralax packets. Many people develop “shy toilet syndrome” and can’t have a bowel movement in unfamiliar places. While this may not be a problem if you’re travelling for 2 days, if you’re travelling for 2 weeks, it’s an enormous problem.\n- Oral rehydration salt packets. These basically make a Gatorade-like solution if water is added. Very important for someone who is vomiting or has the opposite problem than the last point.\n- Duct tape. Aside from its utilitarian functions on the campsite, it’s great at reducing friction for known hot spots on heels and toes, in order to prevent blisters.\n- An emergency blanket. This can double as sunglasses in case of eye irritation.\n- Baby wipes. You can probably use your imagination.\nThe rest of the items covered were prescriptions, which was very helpful, or were items that everyone should bring (like sunscreen). It’s a great list for lots of different but common travel health problems.\nWhat items have come in handy when you’ve been traveling?", "domain": "health"}

This is the state of hypnosis, or a meditative state of being.\nMany of us use this state for deep relaxation or quieting the mind in meditation. Once we have achieved this deep hypnotic state, we can do so many different kinds of therapy, healing work and journeying. It is a very rapid and effective way to do deep change work, not only mentally and spiritually, but also physically.\nThe subconscious mind is a bridge to your deep wisdom, and to your soul consciousness. With specific hypnotic techniques, you can access your soul or higher self consciousness, and journey beyond the confines of this present time and space. You can find out more about this here.\nIn clinical hypnotherapy, we use hypnosis as a tool to improve physical, mental or emotional conditions. It’s so important to have the right mind-set to get the results that you want.\nDetrimental habits, negative self-talk, ingrained beliefs that you can’t or don’t deserve to get well are some examples of negative programming in your subconscious mind that STOP you from making progress.\nBe gentle with yourself\nWe often give ourselves such a hard time! IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT, so stop beating yourself up for having blocks or not being able to make a change.\nNegative messages get hammered into your brain…ugh!\nAll of us have been bombarded with questionable, detrimental and downright devastating messages throughout our whole life. How many times have parents, relatives, teachers, bullies, bosses, doctors, and the media conveyed to you that you’re not enough?\nDirectly or indirectly, they’ve hammered into your brain that, “You’re not good enough, not smart enough, not wanted enough, not tough enough, not successful enough, not slim enough, not beautiful enough, not main-stream enough, not being like I WANT YOU to be right now, and not behaving like I WANT YOU to behave right now enough…”\nOver time, these messages get anchored into your brain and you start to believe it too, whether you want to or not. You start to act as if this were true. This causes the blocks that stop you from moving forward.\nWhat about negative imprints from Past Lives?\nIf you have fears, phobias, ailments or negative cycles of behaviour that don’t seem to have an origin, you may have an imprint from a past life. This can be searched out and eliminated in a past life regression session.\nRe-program your mind\nIn deep hypnotic states – the alpha and theta states – we can take a deeper look and find all that negative programming. Then we change it to positive programs – we actually re-program your brain for success! The subconscious mind doesn’t know what’s real and what is imagined… so it takes the new, positive messages as reality and acts upon them.\nThis works not only for mental and emotional themes like fears, phobias, insomnia, confidence or goal-setting – to give a few examples – but also for invoking actual physical changes in your body. We use time-line regression therapy for problems stemming from this lifetime and past-life regression therapy for problems stemming from past lives.\nActivate your cell memory of perfect health\nYou can teach your body to remember its state of perfect health and come back to that state. Vibrant health and balance is programmed into your cell memory, and we can activate this knowledge through hypnosis. Through specific imagery techniques, we are able to control pain and accelerate the healing process in health conditions like bone breakage, heart disease or cancer, to name a few. Hypnotherapy works hand-in-hand very well with any treatment, therapy or medication that you are undertaking and enhances their effectiveness.\nLately a lot of attention has been given to new scientific studies that meditation (self-hypnosis) measurably increases physical gray matter in your brain. Read more about this here.\nHow to Prepare for a session and What to Expect:\nPlease come to your session rested, sober and free of any stimulating substances such as excessive amounts of coffee, tea or energy drinks, as this could affect your ability to go to the required depth of hypnosis to do the necessary work. An accelerated heart rate due to stimulating substances can hinder your relaxation capacity and make the session ineffective.\nHypnotherapy sessions are very safe, gentle and relaxing. You will be able to relax in a reclining chair or on a massage table while I guide you into the hypnotic state. You are always in control. My therapy is client-oriented, so we proceed according to your goals, your preferences and your comfort zone. We maintain a two-way dialogue during hypnosis, so you can always decide what you want to do or step back from. You can expect emotional release and transformation, so it is advised to take some time after each session to relax and digest and let the information settle in.\nContact me for more information or to book your free consultation!", "domain": "health"}

You will be able to save on insurance costs, costs relating to sick leave, and improve the overall efficiency of your workplace (by reducing the number of disruptions caused by absences)\nNot only that, but healthier employees are more motivated, more productive, more likely to work well together, and quicker to get back to work in the event they do get sick. Keep reading below to get some ideas on how to make your workplace a healthier one.\nDiet and Dining\n1) Bring in Healthy Office Snacks\nNutrition is perhaps the key factor to a healthy life, and while you’re unlikely to completely control someone’s diet, you can control what snacks and treats are available around the office. If you have unhealthy snacks such as chips and candy, we suggest replacing them with much healthier alternatives (we prefer healthy snack bars, small packets of nuts, and veggie chips).\nIf you think it won’t be a waste and you have a sweet tooth or two among your staff, keep some fresh fruit or dark chocolate around for those seeking a sugary pick-me-up.\nA company like Snack Nation is a great delivery service for healthy office snacks.\n2) Keep A List of Healthy Restaurants\nRegardless of the debate on whether people should go out for lunch or dinner or whether bringing your own meal is the better choice, there are going to be people who order out if at all possible. In this case, try recommending or keeping a list of healthy take-out options in your area. If the area isn’t so friendly to healthy eaters, at least craft a list that mitigates the damage.\n3) Keep the Water Cooler Stocked\nLack of proper hydration can cause a great deal of workplace illness, and sometimes it only takes a few glasses of water to take an employee from half-slumber to a clear head. Make sure that your employees don’t have to go to great lengths to get water, and consider removing soda from the workplace as well to encourage better health.\n4) Encourage Healthy Recipe-Sharing\nConsider creating an online office recipe listing or crafting an employee recipe-book so that employees might try new things. Try to encourage the submission of healthy recipes instead of baked goods and fried foods (delicious as they might be). This will not only keep the workload light on you but create topics of conversation in the office and encourage co-workers to get to know each other just a little better.\n5) Host a Healthy Workplace Potluck\nOn a related note, if your office is expecting a late night or you feel the need to change the routine a little, consider organizing an office potluck so people can share those healthy recipes, except already made! By encouraging people to bring healthy dishes, you’ll hopefully give employees ideas as to healthier dishes they can make at home instead of their usual take-out.\nMovement and Exercise\n6) Bring in Standing Desks\nIf you’re in a standard office, chances are employees will be sitting down for hours on end, something that will increase the risk of various heart problems, back problems and other aches, and weight gain. Many employees don’t want this but don’t see any alternatives.\nWe recommend making standing desks available to employees so that those who choose don’t need to force themselves into so sedentary a lifestyle. Standing burns more calories, keeps employees slightly more active, and may even improve productivity for some employees.\n7) Bring Some Work Outdoors\nIf your office area and industry is good for it, consider encouraging employees to take some work outside and take in the fresh air, perhaps also getting a healthy walk in as they meet with each other or make important plans.\nIf your building can accommodate it, you might even want to make a small outside workstation or two, setting up a table where people can bring their laptops out on a nice day.\n8) Install Gym Equipment or Offer Memberships\nIf your company is large enough to justify it, consider using some space to set up a workplace gym where employees can get their blood flowing before or after their workday. Many people don’t go to the gym because of the hassle or commute, and your company can remove that burden, leading to a healthier lifestyle.\nIf an office gym isn’t a feasible option, you can still promote a healthier lifestyle by offering memberships (or membership discounts) to employees, removing the financial factor from the decision for employees.\n9) Create a Workplace Sports Team\nThe form this suggestion takes will depend highly on if leagues or fields are available in your area, but creating an office sports team is a great way for your employees to bond outside the office while staying active. Even being on a bowling team will bring more activity into people’s lives.\nIf sports aren’t really an option, than even consider starting up a running group within the office to keep people invested and accountable to each other in their new habit.\n10) Encourage Stair Use\nIt’s a simple suggestion, but it’s easy to implement and it works. Taking the stairs regularly is better exercise than most people think, and it could be a great first step to wellness for many employees. Consider putting up a notice near the office elevator or making a sign pointing people towards the stairs.\nSleep and Stress\n11) Allow for Naps\nA sleep-deprived employee is hardly an employee at all, and coffee, while loved, is often just a band-aid for the real problem at hand: most workers simply aren’t getting enough sleep to work at peak performance. On top of that, exhausted employees aren’t likely to take part in other workplace wellness initiatives.\nWhile unorthodox, allowing some time for a quick nap when employees get tired might leave employees alert, focused, and far more productive, easily making up for the time spent snoozing.\n12) Limit the Number of Hours Spent in the Office\nWhile working hard can be a virtue, spending too much time at the office can be bad for an employee’s health and outright counterproductive. The increased stress will cause long-term adverse health effects throughout the body, and the lack of time will mean the employee is less likely to properly take care of themselves.\nFrom a productivity level, it’s now known that working too many hours for more than a couple of weeks leads to diminishing returns and eventually to lost productivity from having to correct mistakes.\n13) Refuse to Keep Employees too Late\nOn a similar note, unless the job involves a late shift, make sure that employees go home at a reasonable hour, even shutting down the office at a certain time if necessary. It is best to make sure employees go home and take some time away from work to reduce stress and maintain and healthy work-life balance.\n14) Stress the Importance of Vacation\nWhether it takes the form of weeklong breaks, monthlong excursions, or simply regular long weekends, even top performers need to take breaks to keep themselves sharp and healthy. American workers work more than nearly any other advanced nation, and that can mean they miss out on less stress and better cardiovascular health.\nEven if you must force people to take a break, consider stressing the importance of vacation and make the work environment one that encourages the usage of vacation time, as opposed to some toxic and overcompetitive workplaces.\nPrograms, Incentives, and Feedback\n15) Host Regular Workplace Wellness Challenges\nTo change things up regularly, consider hosting workplace health challenges on a weekly basis, with a prize available for the winners.\nExamples could be walking a mile every day for a month, going without ordering unhealthy take-out for lunch for a period of time, or simply drinking the proper amount of water every day.\n16) Help Employees Quit Smoking and Reward Them for Getting There\nIf there are any smokers at your workplace, quitting smoking is without a doubt the best possible thing they can do for their health. You will want to research incentive efforts based on the size of your business and implement them to keep smoke away from the workplace. Providing an additional incentive, whatever you think might be best, to smokers to quit might just be the push needed.\n17) Bring the Health Professional to the Employees\nMany employees won’t be able to remember the last time they saw a health professional of any sort, and this is a major problem. Having a health expert, nutritionist, or nurse come to the office to provide advice and even perform evaluations is a great way to lead employees to wellness, and such a visit may possibly catch problems before they become a major issue (for both the employee and your business)\nWhile this is a great idea for some offices, we would like to offer the warning that some employees might see this as an invasion of privacy, so we recommend stressing that the health professional will have no ties to the company and that the services are optional. If you’re still concerned, talk to a legal professional.\n18) Allow Sick Employees to Work Remotely\nWhile in an ideal workplace employees will take the day off if they get sick, the truth is that some projects won’t rest and some employees are too passionate about their work to let sickness get in the way, even if they happen to be contagious.\nThe best compromise is allowing for remote work in this instance, keeping the project on track while keeping germs out of the workplace.\n19) Encourage Volunteer Programs\nMany volunteer or charity partnerships involve exercise and activity, whether that comes in the form of a charity walk or a team effort to clean up the local wilderness of litter. Letting employees take a day of company time to help the community also boosts employee morale and can have mental health benefits.\n20) Make Your Workplace Bicycle Friendly\nThis could take the form of a bike-to-work program, a discount at the local bicycle shop, or just installing a few secure bike racks near the office, but making it easy for people to pedal their way to work is a way to make wellness easy for employees.\n21) Take Wellness Suggestions from Employees\nWhile we researched this topic heavily and came up with the most common and effective ideas for most offices, no one will know your employees and office like your employees themselves. We suggest taking some to explain that the business is working to improve employee wellness and is actively taking suggestions to that effect. You’ll be able to know exactly what they want and exactly what will work best.\nWhile it’s unlikely that all the above ideas will work in your workspace, we’re certain that by implementing just a few of the above ideas you’ll be able to improve the overall health of your staff and start seeing results in a few months at most. We wish you luck with your efforts and encourage you to look further into ways your business can support wellness among employees.\nDo you have any additional ideas of your own? Does your workplace have a few policies implemented already? Please feel free to share your thoughts and ideas in the comments below.", "domain": "health"}

Don’t worry, you are not alone. Male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) is the most common form of hair loss in the UK in men. It can start as early as the early 20s and occurs in 30% of men by the age of 30 and in 50% of men by the age of 50. Hair loss affects some individuals more than others and if it is affecting your confidence then it matters.\nThere could be a number of other causes for hair loss such as an autoimmune disease (Alopecia areata) and hair loss due to chemo or radiotherapy. The treatment options available are mainly for male pattern baldness. Speak to our pharmacists to establish your suitability for the treatment and to find the best treatment option tailored to your needs.\nThe most well known treatment for male pattern baldness in the UK is Propecia (finasteride). Finasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. It lowers the hormone levels in the scalp which brings about a shorter hair growth phase. This treatment is only available in one strength of 1mg.\nAnother well established treatment option is minoxidil (Regaine). It is a pharmacy only (P) drug used in both male and females. The response to Regaine is hard to predict as results vary between individuals. It is available in multiple forms and strengths.\nContact our hair loss experts to find out how we can help you with your hair loss management and establish which treatment is suitable for you.", "domain": "health"}

Currently I and several other personal trainers and coaches are teaching a small group boot camp-style fitness program and doing private group and individual personal training. Boot camps are currently in Columbia, Maryland (Laurel, Fulton, Clarksville, Ellicott City and Highland nearby) and Glenwood, Maryland (Woodbine, Glenelg, Dayton and Mt. Airy nearby).\nBoot camp training is for anyone at any level. Some people come into boot camp that are inactive, feel out-of-shape or have never worked out before. That’s Ok! Boot camp participants are of all ages, weights and physical abilities. We will tailor the exercises for you depending on your ability. Even if you have physical limitations, we will make sure that you get a safe workout in boot camp or one-on-one personal training at a pace that’s comfortable for you.\nThere are also people that start boot camp who have been exercising for a while and are in good shape but are looking for a change. The exercises in boot camp will work your muscles differently and help to give you that extra challenge so that you see more results. Also, no two boot camp workouts are the same. Because of the variety, you will stay interested and the body will stay challenged. If you’re in great shape and want to get the best workout of your life, we will make sure you get that!\nAS FEATURED IN:\nWhat Makes The Bootcamp Girl So Unique? You Get All These Benefits With Your Membership:\nI’ve completely changed my eating habits. I’ve cleaned up my eating a lot by cleaning up the junk food. My strength has increased tremendously. I’m doing push-ups every day. I’m running and getting less than 10 minute miles. It’s been a totally awesome trip!\n“I lost 69 lbs - It’s been a totally awesome trip! ”\nHow is the program different?\nMany people tell me that they just haven’t been able to achieve the results on their own. People know that they need to exercise and eat healthier but they just aren’t doing it.\nThey tell me about programs that they’ve tried that didn’t work or only work temporarily. I can’t tell you the number of times that I’ve heard people say that they are looking for accountability. Many students have told me that the accountability that we’ve given them through boot camp group training or personal training is a big part of what’s helped them.\nYou will also have the option of attending additional sessions. Currently we offer: Kick Boxing, Yoga, Strength & Conditioning, Open Training and Running/Walking Intervals. These sessions give you even more variety.\nThrough my group and personal training programs, we will help you to create habits that last a lifetime, so your results will last a lifetime. By finding exercise and healthy food that you love, you can achieve your fitness goals and be happy with your lifestyle. The programs are designed to help empower you to develop determination and maintain motivation. People have a lot of fun in the program and make new friendships. We also plan events for the boot camp group which makes it more fun. This is a supportive group which makes it easier to achieve your goals and feel good doing so. Many people have improved their eating habits and have lost weight through the support of the coaches and the group participants in boot camp.\n2 Maryland Boot Camp Locations To Get You In The Best Shape of Your Life At!\nClick on the Contact tab at the top of this page to get more information about personal training or boot camp. Personal training is for someone who wants a customized program and one-on-one attention. There is also group private personal training for 2 or more people. Boot Camp is for people who like to work out in a group atmosphere with a personal trainer and are looking for a structured program that provides them with accountability.\nWe accept Visa and Mastercard in addition to cash or check for boot camp and personal training. You can reserve the sessions online. Drop-ins are welcome.\nCall or email now to get started: firstname.lastname@example.org or 888-968-5665.\nI look forward to seeing you for your first boot camp or personal training workout!\nI am just starting my third week with the Boot Camp Girl and am hooked! I already am starting to feel better and stronger. The instructors do a great job of getting the most out of each person. Everyone is welcoming and mutually motivating in every session I have attended. I am really glad I made the shift from a private trainer at a gym to the Boot Camp Girl.\nI’ve been doing boot camp for 6 months, lost 25 lbs, taken a minute and a half off of my mile time and, most importantly, I feel much better about doing active sports. I’ve had no injuries, much less back pain and good reports from my annual check-up with reduced levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in my blood.\nAll around it’s been a great experience for me and most importantly I’ve been able to do it without any injury or infirmities that go along with activities at my age group. Thank you very much, Stephanie.\nAt first I was intimidated to try boot camp but now I feel comfortable and really enjoy it! In a little under 2 months I’ve lost 10 pounds, can run 1 mile, and can do 22 (real!) pushups! Can’t wait to see what 6 months looks like!\nI’ve been in The Boot Camp Girl program for a little over 2 months. In that time I’ve lost inches off of my waist, my muscles are getting toned and I’m getting stronger. I have more energy and I’ve lost 15 pounds. I just recommend this program to anyone. It is great!\nAfter having my first child I was really determined to get into shape and seeing her at the sign-up table I was intrigued to join boot camp. Since I’ve been there, the results have been amazing! One of my favorite parts of boot camp is the team encouragement that I get from the other participants of the boot camp and Stephanie. I recommend this to anyone to try it out and give it a shot!\nStephanie’s program has helped me: I’ve lost 15lbs, I’m now able to do 60 push-ups, I’ve lost inches and my running times have really improved. With that I have a lot more confidence the next time I run a race that I’m going to do better than I did the last time. I attend the Clarksville boot camp and the Columbia boot camp.\nThere are also people that start boot camp who have been exercising for a while but are looking for a change. The exercises in boot camp will work your muscles differently and help to give you that extra challenge so that you see more results.", "domain": "health"}

Our Patron is The Duchess of Devonshire, a past committee member. We are also supported by several local businesses and organisations who help the concert through advertising and sponsorship. All proceeds raised by our concerts go directly to Macmillan Cancer Support and are used to help fund projects in the area.\nStarted in 1997, the concert was the brainchild of Lady Zetland, a previous President of Macmillan, who wanted to replicate the well-known Macmillan Guards Chapel Carol Concert in London at a suitable Northern venue. Initially the concert was held at St Mary’s, Thirsk but its success soon required a move to a bigger venue. Over 20 years later the Ripon Carol Concert is now a much talked about annual event and for many marks the start of their Christmas festivities.\nOver the years we have been very lucky to have numerous celebrity visitors, readers and speakers including HRH King Charles III, Bear Grylls, and Ed Chamberlin to name a few, professional musicians and the support of the Aysgarth School Choirs and Queen Mary’s musicians providing a varied programme of music and readings. Liqueurs and mince pies served in the Cathedral crossing round off the evening.\nWe are proud to announce we have raised £513,246 for Macmillan Cancer Support in North Yorkshire over the last 25 years.\nFunding Yorkshire Projects\nOur funds assist cancer sufferers across Yorkshire to diagnose symptoms early. Macmillan with Sir Robert Ogden jointly fund care in Northallerton and Harrogate at two incredible care centres.\nThe Sir Robert Ogden Macmillan Centre in Northallerton is a purpose-built £10million centre opened in December 2018 and now provides more than 4,500 chemotherapy treatments a year and more than 200 outpatient appointments a week.\nMacmillan is the UK’s leading cancer supporter charity giving personal, one to one care and support to thousands of people every day. Cancer can affect anyone. Receiving a cancer diagnosis can turn life upside down in a single moment. But from the moment people hear the news they have cancer, Macmillan is there.\nWe are the only charity supporting anyone, no matter what their age, where they live or their cancer diagnosis. We are here to help everyone with cancer live life as fully as they can, providing physical, financial and emotional support. So whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.\nOur services are almost entirely funded by donations, so without the continued support of everyone who organises and attends the Macmillan Ripon Carol Concert, many of the crucial cancer support services available to patients in Yorkshire simply would not exist.\nFrom funding professional posts like the Macmillan Children’s Cancer Nurse at St James’s University Hospital in Leeds, funding our Macmillan Support Line in Shipley, to helping build our new state-of-the-art Sir Robert Ogden Macmillan Cancer in Northallerton, the Committee and their supporters have changed the face of Macmillan in their community and made a huge difference to the lives of local people affected by cancer.\nFor support, information or just to chat, you can call us free on 0808 808 00 00, visit macmillan.org.uk or drop into our local information and support centres across the UK.", "domain": "health"}

And, identical twins remain remarkably close in weight until early puberty, when environmental factors exert a strong pull. Heredity seems to be particularly influential in where fat settles. It also determines the strategy your body uses to get rid of excess calories. So, heredity does have something to do with being overweight. This genetic factor partially explains why some individuals can eat an enormous amount of food and stay thin while others may eat small portions and gain weight. Hearty eaters who are lean are less efficient at using the calories in food. If you are overweight, there is a chance that your body is a more efficient food burner. You have probably inherited the ability to use food efficiently and store the excess, unused calories as fat. But, all is not lost.

Repeated studies show that by using EMDR people can experience the benefits of psychotherapy that once took years to make a difference. It is widely assumed that severe emotional pain requires a long time to heal. EMDR therapy shows that the mind can in fact heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma. When you cut your hand, your body works to close the wound. If a foreign object or repeated injury irritates the wound, it festers and causes pain. Once the block is removed, healing resumes. EMDR therapy demonstrates that a similar sequence of events occurs with mental processes. The brain's information processing system naturally moves toward mental health. If the system is blocked or imbalanced by the impact of a disturbing event, the emotional wound festers and can cause intense suffering. Once the block is removed, healing resumes.\nEMDR - Feel State Addiction Protocol\nA new short-term therapy that breaks behavioral addictions and eliminates the urges and cravings of substance addictions. EMDR is a clinically proven psychotherapy that has been used in the treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) to reduce traumatic fixations. FSAP has modified the EMDR protocol because of the different psychological dynamics that create compulsive fixations rather than traumatic fixations.\nComprehensive Resource Model-CRM\nThe Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) is a neuro-biologically based trauma treatment model which facilitates targeting of traumatic experiences by bridging the most primitive aspects of the person and their brain, to their purest, healthiest part of the self. This bridge catalyzes the mind and body to access all forms of emotional trauma and stress by utilizing layers of internal resources such as attachment neurobiology, breathwork skills, somatic resources, our connection to the natural world, toning and sacred geometry, and one’s relationship with self, our intuition, and higher consciousness. The sequencing and combination of these resources, and the eye positions that anchor them, provide the opportunity for fear responses to be cleared thoroughly while the client is fully aware and present moment to moment. CRM allows individuals to effectively orient fully towards the most frightening material, uniquely accessing and clearing the origin of the split second moments of intolerable affect that result in defense responses which lead to life-interfering symptoms, addictions, and disconnection from self and others. The potential for clearing neurobiological debris from the nervous system clears the way for positive neuro-plasticity and personal expansion whether that is seen as spiritual or otherwise, and which is separate from one’s history of pain and woundedness.\nCRM was originally developed for use with those individuals who experience the challenges of Complex PTSD, severe Dissociative Disorders, and Attachment Disorders, however many psychiatric diagnoses are effectively addressed through the use of this model. Military veterans and their families find this modality to be particularly effective in healing the deep wounds caused by war.\nIndividual CRM resources as well as the model as a whole can be used with many types of psychotherapeutic modalities including:\nInternal Family Systems, and many others.\nWork is done from the time of conception through the present and includes methods for working with generational trauma out of the realm of the client’s conscious knowledge. This is a heart-centered approach in which clients are guided to re-member who they really are and to learn to embody their true authentic self in their day to day lives.\n“Brainspotting is based on the profound attunement of the therapist with the patient, finding a somatic cue and extinguishing it by down-regulating the amygdala. It isn’t just PNS (Parasympathetic Nervous System) activation that is facilitated, it is homeostasis.” -- Robert Scaer, MD, “The Trauma Spectrum”\nBrainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms. Brainspotting is a simultaneous form of diagnosis and treatment, enhanced with Biolateral sound, which is deep, direct, and powerful yet focused and containing. Brainspotting functions as a neurobiological tool to support the clinical healing relationship. There is no replacement for a mature, nurturing therapeutic presence and the ability to engage another suffering human in a safe and trusting relationship where they feel heard, accepted, and understood.\nOur bodies inherit the archives of our ancestors in their cells, nerves, muscles, blood, and bones. Adopting the attitudes, patterns, and dynamics of our families, communities, and environment, these elements shape and define us. We become what we’ve inherited, what others have said we are, what our teachers have taught us. The remains in our bodies directly influence our personal health, thoughts, relationships, and actions— and unearthing these memories can eventually lead to our greatest well-being, and hence, to social change and global harmony Somatic Archaeology™ combines somatic attunement, breathwork, aromatherapy, neurophysiology, nature meditation, medicine wheel principles, and stress management models formulated from kincentric principles to create profound shifts in your hormonal, physical and emotional well being.", "domain": "health"}

If unable to, repeat for 10 times per leg and another 10 times for the other.\n- Arm reaches\nYou may choose to do this in sitting or standing. Start off with your arms down crossed to the opposite hips. Open up and bring your arm across in front of your body and swing it outwards. End the position with a little arch of the back and stretching feel. Repeat for 30 seconds.\n- Standing heel raises\nYou may choose to do this exercise with or without support. In standing, lift your heels off the ground as high as you can go. At the highest position, pause for 2 seconds then slowly lower yourself down. Repeat for 30 seconds.\n- Side stepping\nStanding with your back against the long side of your bed. Start at either end, take half a step out to the front. Take a step to the side with one leg followed by the other leg. Keep taking steps till at end of bed then move back in the opposite direction. Keep going for 30 seconds.\n- Wall Pushups\nStart with your hands flat on the wall. Keep elbows and trunk straight first. Then bend your elbows to lower yourself slowly towards the wall, then push yourself upright again away from the wall, you need to keep your whole body straight rather than bending only a part of your body. Always make sure that your hands’ position on the wall is not higher than your shoulders’. Repeat for 30 seconds.\nSome Precautions to note\n- Make sure you give yourself a 30-second break after every exercise before starting the next.\n- When you feel generally unwell, chest pain, palpitations, severe breathlessness or giddiness, do not commence or continue with the exercises. Seek medical attention if necessary.\n- Do drink enough water before, during and after exercise.\n- It would be ideal that you monitor your oxygen level and heart rate while performing all these exercises with a pulse oximeter.\n- For oxygen level, do stop and rest from the exercises if it goes below 90% for those who do not have any background of lung conditions on top of being a COVID survivor. It would be 88% for those who have a background of other lung conditions on top of being a COVID survivor.\n- As for heart rate, make sure to rest or slow down when it has increased to 30 beats from your resting heart rate.\n- For those who do not have the pulse oximeter, you may use the talk test as a method to track how your body is tolerating the exercises. If you are still able to complete a sentence or count up to 7 in one breath comfortably, you are doing well.", "domain": "health"}

But now, with social media, patient experience surveying and our heightened awareness of bad behavior and intolerance for bullying, physicians are being held accountable for the quality of their care, and that includes their behavior.”\nThese are five non-clinical skills that people in the medical field need to master.\nLearning to listen\nBeing able to listen carefully to your patients and co-workers is a must.\n“In this day and age of computerized information, this is particularly difficult,” Bergin says. Medical staff using computer templates are forced to look at the screen constantly, and they may appear distracted even if they aren’t.\nMake it a point to direct your attention away from the screen. After all, to correctly diagnose and treat patients, you must listen to what they say and make them feel comfortable enough to tell you the whole story.\n“Make as much eye contact with the patient and their family members as possible,” Bergin says. “Let them talk for a little while. If they don’t want to talk, then prompt them with an open-ended question.”\nMost patients want to talk, so you should encourage them to do so. Take advantage of your sense of humor when appropriate. “Sharing a smile or even a belly laugh with a patient goes a long way,” she says\nShowing you care\nYou might already care about your patients, but you need to be able to communicate that, regardless of how hectic or stressful your day is.\n“All physicians care,” Bergin says. “We care about our outcomes at the minimum, but we must also appear to care about more than an outcome. We must care about our patients’ well-being.”\nBergin suggests reminding yourself to treat every patient like he or she is a member of your family and encouraging colleagues to do the same. Everyone who contacts the patient, from check-in to check-out, should ask themselves if they met that standard.\nWorking as a team\nSuccessful health care professionals know the importance of working well with others.\n“As health care providers, we never work in isolation,” says Edna Ma, a physician anesthesiologist in Los Angeles. A single patient may interact with multiple physicians, nurses and other staff members, making it critical to patient safety and health care delivery that information flows smoothly.\n“Being a good team player involves respecting everyone on the team regardless of rank or title, and listening to others,” she says. “Patients’ lives are at stake if teamwork and communication break down.”\nIn the operating room, for example, all members of the team serve important roles, and they must communicate about it clearly. A “time out” or “surgical pause” is performed before every surgery so everyone on the team can introduce themselves. This increases the likelihood that someone will speak up, even to a surgeon, if they notice a problem, she adds.\nManaging your time\nRunning late and appearing rushed are two big patient complaints about doctors, Bergin says. “We are often running late, and we are often rushed.”\nHealth care workers have to spend more and more time entering data and documenting activities of patients, which eats into the time available to spend with the patient. Bergin suggests getting as efficient as possible with your computer and documentation duties so you can sit down with the patient and have a meaningful conversation.\nAdditionally, you need to manage your time well so you aren’t cramming your notes in at the end of the shift, or something important might get missed, says Michelle Katz, a licensed practical nurse in Los Angeles and author of Healthcare Made Easy. “You want to spend the right amount of time with the patient to be able to assess if the plan of treatment is effective. If you are rushed, you might miss something that is critical to the care of the patient.”\nCritical-thinking skills are necessary every day in nursing, Katz says.\n“Since the nurse is dealing with the daily care in most cases, it is important that he or she observes what the patient can handle and what their resources are, as well as their mental state,” she says. “This is essential in assessing the appropriate care plan for the patient.”\nWhen you think critically, you treat the person as a whole and keep in mind that their situation might change, she adds.", "domain": "health"}

It takes its descriptive name from tone, here defined as “the expression of vibratory frequencies through matter”. Applied to the spinal cord; “tension alters tone”, i.e., spinal subluxations tend to increase tension. As tension is increased, the range of vibratory frequencies that can be expressed is decreased. So tonal chiropractic considers spinal cord tension over spinal cord pressure.\nTone was first described in chiropractic by D.D. Palmer who discovered and founded chiropractic. Spinal cord tension was described and distinguished from spinal cord pressure by R.W. Stephenson, D.C. in the “Chiropractic Text Book”, first published in 1927.\nTonal chiropractic approaches use a more vitalistic, physiological and moment-to-moment analysis over the more mechanically based, often x-ray dependent analysis. The adjustments tend to be low force, more facilitating and empowering to the patient/practice member in a tonal approach. The corrective and healing process tends to continue on an on-going basis rather than reaching a point of maintenance.\nHistorically, “Logan Basic” seems to be the first systematized chiropractic technique to introduce tonal application approaches. Then, “Toftness” technique developed the first entirely tonal approach. Lowell Ward, D.C. elaborately described the anatomical and physiological considerations of tonal chiropractic in his book, “Spinal Stressology”. More recently, Donald Epstein, D.C. expanded upon the application of tonal chiropractic with his Network Chiropractic, now Network Spinal Analysis. I co-founded Torque Release Technique with Jay Holder, D.C. Dr. Holder invented the Integrator hand held adjusting instrument and Marvin Talsky, D.C. developed and structured the Torque Release Model and technique.\nSince then, Steve Hoffman, D.C. applied the principles and protocol of T.R.T. to develop MC2, a true vitalistic and tonal application of upper cervical technique; and Sue Brown, D.C. developed Bio Geometric Integration chiropractic.\nTorque Release Technique represented the evolutionary development of my clinical practice in 1995 after 30 years of continuous full time practice. It was derived from applying more of chiropractic philosophical principles to the application with major contributions from Van Rumpt’s Directional Non Force Technique, Logan Basic Technique and Epstein’s Network Chiropractic with additional contributions from Toftness Technique, Thompson’s Terminal Point Technique, DeJarnett’s Sacro Occipital Technique and Pierce, Stillwagon technique.\nTalsky Tonal Chiropractic (TTC) is the “Next Generation”, built on the basic structure I developed for Torque Release Technique but expanded with deeper, more complete explanations, with newer discoveries and more refined technique applications. TTC enhances and empowers the individual D.C. to bring personal experiences and gifts to the tonal model.\nDoes Tonal Chiropractic hurt?\nNo, in fact most people enjoy the experience. The adjustment itself takes only a few seconds and uses a very light amount of gentle pressure.\nIs Tonal Chiropractic safe?\nYes. Chiropractic adjustments are extremely safe. The risk factor for traditional mechanistic chiropracitc adjustments are estimated to be less than one million to one. And since Tonal Chiropractic adjustments use a very light amount of force they are even more safe and very gentle.\nEnhancing Performance Capabilities\nApril 9, 2017\nTonal Chiropractic – A New Approach by Marvin Talsky, D.C.\nEnhancing overall healing and immune functions, enhancing work performance, enhancing athletic performance and performing art ability; these along with a heightened sense of well being are the goals of the new Tonal Chiropractic. Dr. Marvin A. Talsky, a master chiropractor in full time practice on the north shore since 1965, in 1995 co-founded and developed the first new technique of Chiropractic’s second century, Torque Release Technique. As of 2001, he developed Talsky Tonal Chiropractic. Some of the refinements of the new tonal work are:\n- Non-manipulative adjustment: The emphasis is in communicating new corrective information through gentle touch or a light thrust by hand-held instrument.\n- After each adjustment, the body is given time to process the corrective input.\n- Corrections don’t stop when you get off the table, but continue with your body’s movements and breathing.\n- This process teaches and empowers your body to make more corrections and healing with ongoing care.\n- Because analysis and correction are not limited to just the area of pain and symptom, integration tends to be more complete and healing experiences are deeper in all areas of the body, mind and emotions.\nThe primary intent of this work is to progressively reduce tension and blockages in the entire spinal system, to release trapped unresolved patterns in the body/mind, and to facilitate reintegration of the nervous system, allowing a greater expression of one’s healing and performance capabilities.\nDr. Talsky has been teaching this new work to chiropractors all over the U.S.A. and Canada in postgraduate seminars since 1995. He has a full time practice in northwest Evanston, and is available to share introductory lectures and demonstrations for your organization. He is happy to answer any questions about his practice and can be reached at: 847-828-4108\nTonal Chiropractic: An Alternative To What?\nMarch 7, 2017\nWho should I consult for this health problem/pain? Should I consult a tonal chiropractor or M.D. or acupuncturist or homeopath or physical therapist or nutritionist or…etc., etc.? Tonal chiropractic is not a substitute or alternative for any other practice and no other practice eliminates the need for tonal chiropractic. Tonal chiropractic needs are entirely separate and unique, and, if you have them, no matter how much you exercise, no matter how good your diet, no matter if you reduce your stress, no matter how good your acupuncture or homeopathy is, you still need tonal chiropractic care. Even old-fashioned chiropractic care, if needed, still doesn’t take care of tonal chiropractic needs.\nSo what is tonal chiropractic? Tonal chiropractic addresses spinal cord tension more than spinal pressure. Spinal cord tensions always involve the entire spinal system from the tailbone to and including the cranial bones. Spinal nerve pressure, addressed by more traditional chiropractors, involves separate localized areas of the spine. Dr. Marvin Talsky, after 25 years of chiropractic practice learned, observed and verified with other chiropractors that over 90% of chiropractic problems involve abnormal spinal cord tension more than nerve pressure. Therefore, what has become evident is, the need for tonal chiropractic care remains no matter what other health needs are being treated. Rather than being an alternative, Tonal Chiropractic is a complementary approach to enhance healing or therapy practices.\nIt is vital to know that the body is never in a static state; health is not a static state of being. Each of us is either in the process of healing and developmental growth or in the process of developing health problems and/or disease. It is our belief, through our years of practice and experience, that , we don’t have to accept most chronic ailments and disabilities as a normal part of aging.\nAlthough many health problems improve with tonal chiropractic care, the purpose of this care is to facilitate normalizing of nerve system function, freeing the body to adapt more, recover more, and to increase performance capabilities in work, athletics and the arts. So then the choice is yours. Do nothing until symptoms develop that interfere with your life. The other option is to take this opportunity- to pro-actively enhance your healing and immune functions and increase your performance capabilities now. This is exactly what many people have been looking for. We encourage you to come for care.\nIf you have any questions about whether or not tonal chiropractic care may benefit you, call 847-828-4108 to schedule a consultation with Talsky Tonal Chiropractic so that Dr. Marvin Talsky and his team can help you begin your path to wellness.", "domain": "health"}

Signs Exclusive Licensing and Distribution Agreement With U.S. Based Atlantic Diagnostic Laboratories LLC\nEDMONTON, AB--(Marketwired - May 04, 2016) - Metabolomic Technologies Inc. (MTI) has signed a multi-million dollar exclusive licensing and distribution agreement with Atlantic Diagnostic Laboratories, LLC (ADL) for its flagship product, PolypDx™, a urine-based diagnostic test for detection of adenomatous polyps, the precursor to colorectal cancer.\nColorectal cancer is a leading cause of death in North America with over 157,000 new cases reported in 2015 alone. With early detection in the adenomatous polyp stage, this form of cancer is preventable. Currently, only 39% of colorectal cancer cases in the United States are diagnosed at an early and treatable stage resulting in a five-year survival rate of 63.5%.\nThe introduction of PolypDx™ hopes to change those statistics. PolypDx™ gives doctors a new tool in the prevention of colorectal cancer. In a Canadian-based clinical trial of nearly 1,000 patients, MTI's PolypDx™ demonstrated significantly higher sensitivity than current fecal-based screening tests to detect adenomatous polyps. Once screened, patients presenting a risk of adenomatous polyps can be directed to a colonoscopy, during which the adenomatous polyps can be completely and safely removed, thus preventing the progression into colorectal cancer. PolypDx™ is a simple and effective test requiring only a small urine sample. Early detection and ease of use are key distinguishing factors for a screening test in the prevention of colorectal cancer.\nThe exclusive, three and a half year, multi-million dollar licensing and distribution agreement signed between MTI and ADL provides a valuable entry point into the U.S. market. Initially, PolypDx™ will be available across twelve eastern states through existing distribution channels with the ability to grow distribution across the United States.\n\"The partnership and collaboration between MTI and Atlantic Diagnostic Laboratories will provide the opportunity for patients to access a simple and accurate test with proven capacity to detect adenomatous colonic polyps and thereby prevent colon cancer,\" said Dr. Richard Fedorak, President of MTI.\n\"ADL, with its extensive LC/MS/MS expertise, has long awaited a high-quality partner such as MTI,\" said Aaron Domenico, Chief Operating Officer of ADL. He added, \"ADL is very excited to be offering the PolypDx™ non-invasive urine test.\"\nAbout Metabolomic Technologies Inc. (MTI):\nMetabolomic Technologies Inc. (MTI) is a privately held Canadian company based in Edmonton, Alberta. A spin-off from the University of Alberta, MTI focuses on the development of metabolomics-based diagnostic systems created from proprietary biomarker technologies. The Company's flagship product, PolypDx™, an innovative urine diagnostic test, offers a significantly higher sensitivity in detecting adenomatous polyps, a precursor to colorectal cancer (CRC). CRC is a leading cause of death in North America, but is curable if identified through early screening processes. PolypDx™ provides healthcare professionals with a tool for early screening and detection over less effective fecal-based screening methodologies considered suboptimal due to a lack of sensitivity and acceptability.\nMTI is committed to developing high value diagnostic tests for the management of chronic disease. The Company received the North American Frost & Sullivan Award for Technology Innovation Leadership in 2014.\nAbout Atlantic Diagnostic Laboratories, LLC (ADL):\nAtlantic Diagnostic Laboratories, LLC (ADL) is a U.S.-based independent clinical laboratory with its headquarters in the suburbs of Philadelphia. ADL is a full-service laboratory providing microbiology, chemistry, toxicology, immunology, and virology testing used by the medical profession in routine testing, patient diagnosis, and in the monitoring and treatment of diseases. It has also developed niche operations based on certain types of specialized testing capabilities providing insights that empower and enable medical professionals to make better healthcare decisions. ADL is fully accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) for clinical and forensic studies.", "domain": "health"}

What we’d also expect to see is that these men are properly looked after while at work, with businesses putting measures in place to keep them away from harm.\n“But this does not seem to be the case. It’s really shocking to see that some businesses are failing to put in place even the most basic health and safety procedures to protect their workers most at risk of injury.\n“Companies need to make sure they’re putting the safety and wellbeing of their staff first – it’s their legal responsibility.

Quitting rates for non-daily users of e-cigarettes were lower, though tank aficionados still came out ahead.\nThe findings, published in the journal Nicotine & Tobacco Research, may be significant for smokers trying to decide which type of e-cigarette to try. Tanks may deliver nicotine more effectively, and the devices allow users to adjust nicotine content and flavors, which along with price may be factors that lead to more success in quitting, the researchers said.\n“Our research demonstrates the importance of distinguishing between different types of e-cigarettes and frequency of use when examining the association between e-cigarettes and quitting,” Sara Hitchman, a lecturer in the King’s Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience who led the study, said in a statement.\nThe research comes amid debate about the safety of the devices, the potential need for regulation and whether e-cigarettes may encourage people to start using the real thing. California health officials have expressed alarm that many young people are using e-cigarettes and may end up smoking as a result.\nE-cigarettes deliver nicotine without the tar and many of the harmful chemicals found in traditional cigarettes, though there is disagreement about whether some harmful chemicals are still present in their vapor. The American Heart Association has said physicians shouldn’t discourage e-cigarette use as a last resort for smokers seeking to quit.\nThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration proposed e-cigarette regulations a year ago that would ban sales to minors, prohibit free samples, require agency review and mandate addiction warnings. The FDA hasn’t yet finalized the rules.\nIn the U.K., e-cigarettes will be licensed as medicines by next year, along with other products such as nicotine gum and patches, under rules approved in 2013. More than 2 million people in Great Britain use e-cigarettes, among a population of about 64 million, according to the researchers.\nThe findings also may have implications for cigarette makers. Many of the most popular cigalike brands are produced by the tobacco industry, and most of the e-cigarette users in the study were using that type of device, the researchers said.\nIn the U.S., Lorillard Inc., Reynolds American Inc. and Altria Group Inc. are among tobacco companies that market both tobacco cigarettes and e-cigarettes. British American Tobacco Plc is developing nicotine inhalers, and Imperial Tobacco Group Plc is buying the Blu e-cigarette brand in a purchase related to Reynolds’ takeover of Lorillard.\nDisposable and cartridge-loaded e-cigarettes represented 57 percent of the U.S. “vaping” market last year, according to Reynolds American, though liquid-refill tank models are gaining rapidly.\n“It is important to remember that these products are not actually sold as quitting aids; they are simply an alternative,” Will Hill, a spokesman for British American Tobacco, said by e-mail.\n“Our focus remains on providing a wide variety of high-quality alternative products” ranging from cigalikes to hybrid models that allow users to adjust the amount of vapor released, Hill said. BAT also makes cigarette brands such as Lucky Strike and Pall Mall.\nWhile Fontem Ventures, a subsidiary of Imperial Tobacco, has only offered cigalikes to consumers, it will introduce a tank version starting with the French market “very soon,” spokesman Marc Michelsen said by phone. The company can’t make claims on smoking cessation as the products aren’t licensed as medical devices, he said.\n“We are working to develop a range of products that can be both satisfying and potentially reduced-risk alternatives to combustible cigarettes,” Philip Morris International Inc., which sells both cigalike and tank e-cigarettes, said in an e-mailed statement.\nWith the tank devices, which are often sold in specialty “vape” stores, users buy liquid refills with different strengths of nicotine. They can choose traditional tobacco flavors or more exotic varieties with names such as “Apple Strudel” and “Café Latte.” The King’s researchers said they were aware of only one refillable tank model made by a tobacco company in the U.K.\nIn the study, the researchers analysed 1,643 adult smokers and e-cigarette users over one year.", "domain": "health"}

Almost 80 percent of 6,000 respondents to a survey reported some form of discrimination. In about two-thirds of the cases, the reported discrimination was gender-based and in about one-third, it was maternity-based. The survey defined maternal discrimination as relating to breast-feeding, maternity leave or pregnancy.\nAbout half of the respondents reported discrimination related to breast feeding while nearly all reported discrimination based on pregnancy or maternity leave. In addition, almost 50 percent of doctors reporting maternal discrimination also said they suffered from burnout. In general, discrimination took the form of being treated disrespectfully by staff. Female physicians also reported being excluded from decision-making processes and getting less pay and fewer benefits than male physicians.\nAround one-third of doctors are female, and a shortage of physicians is expected in the years ahead. According to researchers, employers could put a number of policies in place that could increase the recruitment and retention of female doctors and reduce discrimination. These steps include more schedule flexibility, more paid maternity leave, support for breastfeeding and child care options.\nThere may be a number of reasons that people do not report discrimination in the workplace. For example, some women doctors might feel it will hurt their careers if they complain about discrimination. However, there are protections in place for people who feel they are suffering workplace discrimination. People may want to try to resolve the issue within workplace channels, but they might still want to speak to an attorney about their rights. They might also consider documenting instances of discrimination so a pattern can be demonstrated.", "domain": "health"}

So how do we manage the cost of owning our furry friends?\nThe main reasons many love to have pets are:\n• teaching kids responsibility\n• relaxation and\nThe main reasons some of us DON’T choose to have pets are:\n• home or lifestyle not suitable\n• body corporate rules or\n• we don’t want the responsibility\nThe positives of pet ownership\nThere is no doubt our Aussie lifestyle and climate is perfect for a pet-loving nation. In fact we have one of the highest rates of pet ownership in the world. Research also shows there are various health benefits that may be associated with pet ownership including:\n• increased cardiovascular health\n• more physical activity (especially dog owners)\n• fewer visits to the doctor\n• strengthened immune system and reduced risk of allergies (when growing up with a dog)\nResearch has also shown owning a pet can have psychological benefits including:\n• children who own pets seem more empathetic and have higher self esteem\n• teenagers with pets have a more positive outlook on life and show fewer signs of loneliness, despair and boredom\n• enhanced social connectedness and social skills\nIn a digital world rife with bullying it’s good to hear pets have a positive effect on kids and teens.\nPet owners generally report less depression and appear to cope with grief, stress and loss better than those who don’t own pets. The role of pets in the lives of the elderly has been proven to have a positive effect for those in nursing homes or assisted care.\nThe cost of owning pets\nBefore embarking on pet ownership it’s important to factor the cost into your household budget. Many of us may have been caught off guard when that cute puppy or kitten translated into many hundreds of dollars in food, care and vet bills each year. Perhaps even new fencing? One client recently took her cat to the vet and ended up with a $1,000 bill. Ouch!\nResearch shows the average cost of owning a pet is $1,475 pa per dog and $1,029 pa per cat – not including unexpected costs. The cheapest pet? A goldfish comes in at around $50 pa.\nBased on these figures a household with a dog and a cat could spend $25,000+ over their lifespan!\nBudgeting for our furry friends\nDepending on the breed or source of your pet your initial purchase cost alone could be between $200 and $3,500+.\nThe average ongoing costs per annum per dog are: food ($622), vet care ($397), health products ($248), grooming ($129) and boarding ($86)1. Estimating your costs, allocating these in your budget and exploring where you can save on other expenses to compensate for your furry friend will help ensure your beloved pet does not result in a cost blowout.\nThe role of pet insurance\nAs medical technology and level of veterinary care advance, so too has the cost of treatments. Sadly, an unexpected illness or injury could result in the heartbreaking decision to have a pet euthanised if the cost of treatment is simply unaffordable.\nPet insurance is a growing industry with a number of providers. In 2016 about 25% of dog owners and 20% of cat owners had pet insurance at an average annual cost less than $3001.\nAs with all insurances it pays to do your research and know the terms and conditions of the policy. It is not always available for older pets and may not cover routine visits such as vaccinations, dental and desexing. Premiums could also be higher for certain breeds.\nNeed help with your family budget? We’re always here to assist. Being prepared for the cost of owning our beloved pets will ensure we enjoy them for many years.", "domain": "health"}

Some sweeteners may have negative effects on your health, such as weight gain, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Here are some examples of unhealthy sweeteners:\n- Artificial sweeteners are synthetic substances that mimic the taste of sugar without providing any calories or carbs. They include aspartame, sucralose, saccharin, neotame, and acesulfame potassium1. Some studies have linked artificial sweeteners to alterations in the gut microbiome, which may affect your immune system, digestion, and metabolism2. Some people may also experience headaches, nausea, or allergic reactions from artificial sweeteners1.\n- High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a liquid sweetener made from corn starch that contains a high amount of fructose, a type of sugar that is metabolized differently than glucose. HFCS is often added to processed foods and beverages, such as sodas, candies, and baked goods. Consuming too much HFCS can increase your risk of obesity, insulin resistance, fatty liver disease, and inflammation2.\n- Agave is a syrup made from the sap of the agave plant, which grows in Mexico and South America. Agave is often marketed as a natural and healthy alternative to sugar, but it actually contains more fructose than HFCS. Agave can raise your blood sugar levels and triglycerides, which are a type of fat in your blood that can contribute to heart disease2.\n- Brown rice syrup is a sweetener made from cooked brown rice that is fermented with enzymes. It is often used in organic and gluten-free products, such as cereal bars and granola. However, brown rice syrup has a high glycemic index, which means it can spike your blood sugar levels quickly. It also may contain traces of arsenic, a toxic metal that can cause health problems with long-term exposure2.\nIf you want to reduce your intake of unhealthy sweeteners, you can try using natural sweeteners that are lower in calories and carbs, such as stevia, monk fruit, erythritol, or xylitol. However, you should still use them in moderation and consult your doctor before making any changes to your diet.", "domain": "health"}

Additionally, we are developing predictive models and a free software tool to combat systematic racism, gender bias, and cultural bias in academic letters of recommendation (LOR). To this end, we will leverage natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning methods to identify the language in LORs that may be associated with bias. The software tool will aid the recommendation writer by highlighting potential instances of bias and suggesting alternatives.\n- D. Leeds, C. Chen, Y. Zhao , F. Metla, J. Guest, and G.

University students have faced particular challenges during the pandemic. This research aims to leverage a proprietary dataset our team collected after the onset of the pandemic and develop machine learning models to predict college students’ ways of coping with stress, and school adjustment when facing unprecedented challenges. Because the COVID-19 outbreak was first reported in China, anti-Asian attitudes and rhetoric have increased exponentially both in the media and in daily life interactions. We further study racial/ethnic subgroups (i.e., Asian, non-Asian, and international) with customized predictive models and compare their coping strategies and stress levels.\nY. Zhao, Y. Ding, H.

The fruit’s rind contains high amounts of hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which is the main ingredient in Garcinia Cambogia supplements. A series of clinical studies have shown that HCA can block fat storage and, therefore, aid in weight loss, among other benefits. In fact, HCA is believed to be able to double the rate of weight loss even without dieting.\nHere are the rest of the known benefits of Garcinia Cambogia.\nIt prevents the storage of fat by inhibiting the production of the enzyme citrate lyase that is used by the body to convert carbohydrates into their storage form – fat. That means that your body will use up most of the carbohydrates you consume and you’ll end up with a leaner body. If you perform exercise as well, you’ll build muscle and your body will be able to burn calories much faster – thanks to increased metabolic rate. The result of HCA and muscle growth is increased weight loss.\nHCA has been shown to have appetite suppressant properties. This comes as a result of increased serotonin levels in the brain, a hormone that affects good mood. Low serotonin levels lead to low moods which cause many people to binge eat. However, people in good moods tend to be more health conscious with food choices and, therefore, you’ll be in better position to maintain a healthy weight.\nThe other benefit is that the Garcinia Cambogia extract is an all-natural product. While this may not seem like an advantage at first, you should know that a supplement that is 100% pure Garcinia Cambogia contains no additives that may reduce the extract’s effectiveness. In addition, there are no known side effects of a 100% pure Garcinia Cambogia, so you can safely use it without worrying about undesirable effects.\nIt’s highly effective. In addition to the series of clinical studies that have demonstrated the effectiveness of Garcinia Cambogia, thousands of individual users have been raving about the supplement’s ‘miraculous’ effect on weight loss.\nIt is backed by scientific research. A number of clinical studies have been performed to verify the claims made about Garcinia Cambogia and almost all studies have proven that it has fat blocking properties that aid in weight loss. For this reason, many doctors have recommended it alongside an effective weight loss regiment and a healthy diet.\nIt is very affordable. Supplements containing Garcinia Cambogia extract are relatively affordable compared to many over-hyped and expensive formulas. That said, you should be on the lookout for inferior supplements manufactured in countries with lax controls on the manufacture of supplements.\nThese are the benefits of Garcinia Cambogia extract for weight loss. However, you should consult with your healthcare provider prior to using any supplements. Although there are no known side effects, you should stop taking the supplement if you experience any discomfort.", "domain": "health"}

Managing obesity can often be done with surgery which is considered the last resort of choice. This drastic solution is called bariatric surgery whose objective is to reduce stomach size and thereby reduce food intake.\nThe process involves either of two main procedures..\n(1) Malabsorptive procedures: reducing stomach size while creating malabsorption by altering how the nourishment is achieved. This has become a rare procedure due to its inherent risks for inducing severe nutritional deficiency.\n(2) Restrictive procedures: This involves simply reducing the size of the stomach and the most widely performed bariatric surgery among severely obese patients.\nWho should undergo bariatric surgery?\nAs a last resort to weight loss, the U.S. National Institutes of Health suggests that obese people with a body mass index (BMI) of 35 suffering co-morbidities like diabetes or heart diseases, and those with BMI of 40 without diagnosed co-morbidities should strongly consider bariatric surgery. Recent medical research suggests that bariatric surgery could be most suitable for obese persons with a BMI of 35 to 40 without co-morbidities or a BMI of 30 to 35 diagnosed with co-morbidities.  In addition, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases has indicated that bariatric surgery is most suitable for women who are at lest 80 lbs overweight and men who are at least 100 lbs overweight.\nObese persons suffering co-morbidities like diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, impaired glucose tolerance, hypertension, and obstructive sleep apnea can be considered candidates for bariatric surgery. One who is seriously considering it should consult with his or her doctor for the surgical options and a full disclosure of its potential post-surgical complications. \nHow malabsorptive bariatric surgery works\nBiliopancreatic diversion (BPD)\nThis is complex surgery where part of the stomach is resected to create a smaller pouch and where the distal part of the small intestine bypasses the jejunum and duodenum before being reconnected to the resected stomach pouch. BPD is now rarely performed mostly due to its high risk of complications such as gallstones and several nutritional deficiencies that, without supplementation, could lead to osteoporosis and anemia. \nHow restrictive bariatric surgery works\nA smaller stomach pouch gets full faster, and a feeling of satiation sets in so you eat fewer food portions over a shorter period of time and you lose weight progressively. Restrictive bariatric surgery reduces the size of the stomach through laparoscopic tools is the most popular and often involves the following.\n(1) Sleeve gastrectomy\nThe stomach is surgically reduced to around 15% of its former size and using surgical staples, or sutures or both, leaves the stomach looking like a banana-shaped tube and is irreversible. As the stomach size is reduced, the portion where hormones are produced to stimulate hunger (Ghrelin) is likewise removed and has been shows to be effecting moves patients with a BMI higher than 55. A majority of patients undergoing this surgical process can expect to lose about 30% to 50% of their excess body weight in 6 months to a year. \n(2) Adjustable gastric banding\nA silicone band that can be inflated with 4 to 12cc of saline solution is placed around the stomach. When inflated, it constricts the stomach to create a smaller stomach pouch at the top section, decreases the size of the passage between this pouch and the lower stomach and slows food passage between the two. Once food is digested in the upper stomach pouch, no further digestion takes place in the lower stomach and the digested simply passes to the intestines. \nThe resulting smaller stomach pouch holds about ½ to 1 cup of food while the entire stomach could hold 6 cups. As a reversible and adjustable process, you can expect a few visits back to the surgeon to adjust the band with the injection or suction of saline solution to achieve optimal constriction. The band is tightened or loosened so that hunger is best controlled but not too tight for digested food not to flow freely. \nObese people can expect to lose 33% to 50% of their excess weight after undergoing this procedure and can be achieved slower than with Gastric Bypass surgery over a 3-year period.  In addition, gastric banding can be reversed once the obesity is corrected or when the proper BMI is achieved, if the patient so desires. .\n(3) Gastric Bypass Surgery\nThe most popular form of gastric bypass surgery is the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass where a small stomach pouch is formed using a stapler device, and connected to the distal small intestine. The upper section of the small intestine is then re-connected to form a Y-shaped configuration. About 140,000 gastric bypass surgery has been done as of 2005 to make it the most widely used bariatric surgery. But its success has been largely due to the stringent post-surgery compliance to a prescribed diet and eating pattern. \nMedical studies have shown that bariatric surgery can cause significant long-term weight loss efficacy, recovery from diabetes, improvement in cardiovascular risk factors, and halving statistical mortality rates reduced from 40% to 23%.  In addition, the more popular forms of bariatric surgery have been known to lose about 40% to 50% of unwanted weight. That's because the smaller stomach resulting from the surgery makes you feel full faster every meal and thus, decreases your food cravings and consumption.\nComplications and side effects\nComplications from any kind of surgery are high and barbaric surgery complications are common. A study of 2522 insurance claims showed that about 22% suffered initial complications while 40% suffered complications within 6 months of surgery. Some of the more common complications include:\n-Diarrhea and bloating after meals (gastric dumping syndrome), requiring medication or smaller meals: 20%\n-Leaks at the surgical site (12%),\n-Incisional hernia (7%),\n-Surgical wound Infections (6%)\nMortality rate among patients with no known co-morbidities is small at 0.2%. Most of complications have been observed to be common among patients aged over 40. However, they were significantly reduced when bariatric surgery is performed by seasoned doctors or surgeons.  A study on the end-point safety of bariatric surgery shows that mortality, serious complications, re-interventions and further hospitalization occurred in 1.0% of patients who underwent laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, 4.8% in laparoscopic gastric bypass, and 7.8% in open gastric bypass.  Gastric banding procedure has shown the least complication rate. But as with any surgery, band gastric surgery carries the same risk of wound infections and minor bleeding which can often be treated with antibiotics.\nIf you are obese or overweight with a body mass index (BMI) of 35 or higher, undergoing restrictive bariatric surgical procedure is generally safe when performed by experienced surgeons or healthcare professionals specializing in the process. In February 2011, the FDA reduced the recommended BMI threshold to 30 for those considering the process. This opened up the surgical weight loss solution even to those with moderate obesity. If you are even moderately obese and have been going through diet and exercise regimens for years with little or no success, a bariatric surgery such as gastric banding or gastric bypass surgery can be your most effective and long lasting weight management solution.", "domain": "health"}

Common scented products include perfume, cologne, aftershave, deodorant, soap, shampoo, hairspray, bodyspray, makeup and powders. Examples of other products with added scents include air fresheners, fabric softeners, laundry detergents, cleaners, carpet deodorizers, facial tissues, and candles.\nWe generally think that it is a personal choice to use fragrances; however, fragrance chemicals are by their very nature shared. The chemicals vapourize into the air and are easily inhaled by those around us. Today’s scented products are made up of a complex mixture of chemicals, many of which are synthetic compounds derived from petroleum products. These fragrance chemicals, classified as volatile organic compounds, can contribute to indoor air quality problems and cause health problems.\nSusceptible individuals can experience a variety of symptoms, including headache, sore throat, runny nose, sinus congestion, wheezing, shortness of breath, dizziness, anxiety, anger, nausea, fatigue, mental confusion and an inability to concentrate. Some of these fragrance chemicals are known to be skin sensitizers. Some are also respiratory tract irritants, and can trigger asthma and breathing difficulties. Asthmatics commonly cite fragrances as initiating or exacerbating their asthma. Fragrances are also implicated in vascular changes that can trigger migraines in susceptible individuals. Individuals with chemical sensitivities can experience symptoms at very low levels in the air, far below those known to cause harmful effects in the general population.\nAlthough the mechanisms by which fragrance chemicals act to produce symptoms are not yet understood, the impact on all those affected can be quite severe, resulting in great difficulty in work and study activities.\nWhat is this article intended to do?\nFirstly, this information article is intended to increase the awareness within the University community about the potential impact of fragrance chemicals on the health, wellbeing, productivity and lifestyle of those affected.\nSecondly, in order to protect those individuals with fragrance sensitivities and to possibly prevent others from developing such sensitivities, the University is asking for voluntary cooperation towards a scent-reduced environment. Faculty, staff, students and visitors are strongly encouraged to avoid or reduce the use of fragranced products, and to replace them with unscented alternatives.\nWe recognize that the issue is complex and controversial to some. We recognize the personal right of individuals to use scented products. We believe, however, that this must be balanced with the adverse health effects and extreme discomfort that can be suffered by fragrance-sensitive individuals.\nThis is not an issue about an individual disliking the smell of a particular perfume and getting what he/she wants in the workplace. This is not a ban on scented products. This is a request to voluntarily refrain from chemical-based scented products.\nWhat is the University doing about it?\nRecognizing that chemicals, including fragrance ’ chemicals, can negatively impact on indoor air quality, the University will strive to:\nPromote the reduction of unnecessary use of chemicals, including fragrance chemicals.\nPromote the use of environmentally-friendly and least harmful products in laboratories, cleaning materials, and building materials.\nTarget harmful chemicals and contaminants and implement controls to effectively prevent or minimize their release into the general air as a result of building, maintenance, custodial, research and teaching activities.\nSupport the best possible air quality practicably attainable, by means of proper ventilation, peak performance and proper maintenance of building mechanical ventilation systems, in keeping with the University’s Indoor Air Quality Standard.\nDevelop proper information and training to promote the above to the University community.\nWhat can you do to help?\nBe considerate of those who are sensitive to fragrance chemicals. Avoid using scented products; instead, use unscented alternatives.\nIf you do use scented products, use them sparingly. A general guideline for scented products is that the scent should not be detectable more than an arm’s length away from you. Do not apply scented products in a public area.\nBe an informed customer. Read the product label. A product labelled as \"fragrance-free\" is likely to be free of fragrance chemicals. A product labelled as \"scent-free\" or \"unscented\" may mean that no fragrance chemicals have been added to the product, or it may be that a masking agent has been added to disguise the smell of some of the ingredients. These terms are not regulated, so use your nose or ask the store to check the product for fragrances.\nAvoid using products (e.g. air fresheners or potpourris) that give off chemical-based scents in your work area.\nAvoid using laundry products or cleaning agents that are scented. Air out drycleaned clothing before wearing.\nWhat can you do if you are sensitive to fragrance chemicals?\nIf you feel you can do so comfortably, approach the scented individual and let him/her know how you react to fragrances. Be specific about the types of physical reactions you have (e.g. asthma attacks, migraines, shortness of breath). Talk to the individual in a cordial and respectful manner. Ask for their understanding and cooperation. Many people are unaware of the potential health effects of fragrance chemicals.\nInform your supervisor of your sensitivities, your symptoms, and the types of exposures that improve or worsen these symptoms. Ask your supervisor to assist in finding a solution to your situation. You may ask your supervisor to discuss this matter with the individual involved if you do not feel comfortable doing so, or if the individual has done nothing after you have advised him/her of your situation.\n- Consult with your physician about your symptoms.\n- Consult the resources listed in this brochure for further information or assistance.\nIf an individual in your work area is adversely affected by scented products:\n- Listen to the person with respect and civility.\n- Clarify the issue. Ask the individual to describe their health effects, the factors that make the problem better or worse, and the actions they are taking to deal with it.\n- Investigate the issue and use good judgement and consideration to provide a fair, uniform and timely resolution.\n- Discuss the issue with your staff in an open and non-threatening manner. Inform them of the health concerns that have arisen as a result of the use of scented products in the workplace. You may- choose to have this discussion with an individual or a group of employees, whichever is appropriate to the situation.\n- Request your staffs cooperation and understanding to voluntarily avoid the use of scented products in the area. Discuss the benefits of a scent-free work area.\n- Implement measures to reasonably accommodate those who are affected by scented products. Where employees are severely limited due to exposure to scented products, you may need to establish a fragrance-free zone. For meetings held in enclosed rooms, you may need to send out notices to attendees informing them of the scent-free nature of the meeting.\n- Consult with the building engineer regarding the adequacy of ventilation in the area.\n- Distribute this information and display the \"We Share the Air\" poster.\n- Refer those issues which cannot be resolved locally to the Department Head, the Office of Environmental Health and Safety, the local joint health and safety committee and/or Human Resources.\nWhat should you do if you’re approached about the scented product you’re wearing?\nIf an individual or your supervisor informs you that the fragranced products that you use or wear are a problem and requests that you avoid using them, you may feel puzzled, hurt, annoyed, defensive or even insulted by the request.\nUnderstand that it is not about you as a person or about your choice of fragrance, but it is about the chemicals in the fragranced product. Do not discount the issue as ridiculous and unreasonable.\nDiscuss the issue openly. Ask questions about the health impact on the person, the types of symptoms experienced, the factors which make the person’s symptoms better or worse (e.g. fragrance type, amount used).\nEmpathize with the individual.

In fact, several of the largest healthcare companies in the U.S. regularly use social media, including UnitedHealth Group, CVS, and AmerisourceBergen.\nThough rarely used for diagnostic purposes, these platforms do allow doctors to more easily share and compare information, trends, results, and more. Responsible use of social media can improve physician-patient interactions and provide assistance with appointments and referrals. If they think outside the box, doctors can help motivate patients to live a healthier lifestyle. Platforms such as Twitter and YouTube are helpful in providing accurate information—how many patients might be interested in information regarding vaccines or other hotly debated topics?\nOrganizations from hospitals to distributors can use social media to communicate in time of crisis on topics like operational and ER status and product availability. For example, medical specialties distributors could use social media platforms to keep customers updated on a potential product shortage, or the availability of specific supplies important to our customers such as surgical sutures and other wound care products.", "domain": "health"}

Slides with tissue sections were rinsed in Tris buffer three times and blocked for 1 hour in 3% normal goat serum (InVitrogen, Carlsbad CA) (for albumin, F4/80, CD-34) or 3% normal rabbit serum (for biotin). Each primary antibody was tested parametrically, in dilutions of Tris buffer in blocking solution, to determine the optimal antibody concentration to be used. The albumin antibody (Bethyl Labs; Montgomery TX) labeled with FITC was used at 1:500; the biotin antibody (Abcam; Cambridge MA) labeled with FITC was used at 1:500; the macrophage (Kupffer cell) antibody F/4/80 (Serotec, Raleigh NC) was used at 1:1000; the GFAP antibody (Dako; Carpinteria CA) was used at 1:3000; and the CD-34 antibody (Vector Labs) was used at 1:100. Sections were exposed to primary antibodies at room temperature and in the dark, overnight (16–18hr). The following day, slides were rinsed in Tris buffer three times. The sections for F4/80 then were incubated for 2 hours with either Alexa 488 or Alexa 546 goat anti-rat IgG at 1:1000 (Invitrogen; Carlsbad CA), sections for GFAP were incubated with either Alexa 488 or Alexa 546 goat anti-rabbit, at 1:1000 and sections for CD-34 were incubated with Alexa 488 goat anti-mouse at 1:1000. Following incubation, slides were rinsed with Tris buffer and coverslipped with Vectashield anti-fade fluorescent mounting medium with DAPI; DAPI served as a fluorescent (ultraviolet – UV) stain for cell nuclei.\nFour groups of NOD and db/db mice were studied: non-diabetic, diabetic with normal emptying, diabetic with delayed gastric emptying, and diabetic with delayed gastric emptying reversed by the HO1 inducer hemin. Whole-mount samples from stomach were labeled in triplicate with antisera against F4/80, HO1, and CD206 and macrophages were quantified in stacked confocal images. Markers for macrophage subtypes were measured by quantitative PCR.\nFor immunofluorescence staining of adipose tissues, epididymal adipose tissues were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, after which epididymal fat was removed and minced into small pieces (~2 to 3 mm). The tissue pieces were boiled in 10 mM citrate buffer for 15 min and treated with 0.3% Triton X-100 in Tris-buffered saline (TBS; 150 mM NaCl and 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0)) for 10 min. Then, the tissue pieces were blocked with TBS containing 10% normal goat serum for 1 h at room temperature. In some experiments, Hoechst 33342 (Dojindo) and BODIPY (Molecular Probes) were added to the blocking solution. The tissue pieces were incubated with a primary antibody overnight at 4°C and then washed and probed with Alexa-conjugated secondary reagents. For immunofluorescence staining of pancreas, paraffin sections of pancreas were deparaffinized and rehydrated.

Thereafter, sections were incubated with blocking solution containing primary antibodies and Hoechst 33342 overnight at 4°C.

Everybody feels ‘blue’, ‘sad’ or ‘upset’ at times or at some stage in his or her life. Transitory feelings of sadness or discouragement are perfectly normal, especially during particularly difficult times in a person’s life. A person who cannot get over these feelings may suffer from an illness called depression. In modern medicine it is well recognized that depression is an illness caused by an imbalance of neurochemicals in the brain.\nHow to tell when you are depressed\nYou can determine whether you are depressed, and also measure the severity of the depression by completing this Questionnaire.\nDepression is a serious illness (a medical condition) and should not be confused with other mood conditions such as ordinary grief, burnout or disappointment. The two major indications of a major depression are either:\n- Feeling sad, blue, down in the dumps that lasts two weeks or more;\n- Diminished interest in pleasurable activities, including sex;\nIf any of the above important symptoms are present, also look for:\n- Significant weight loss or gain;\n- Sleeplessness or excessive sleeping;\n- Slowed body movements or thoughts;\n- Feelings of worthlessness or guilt;\n- Impaired concentration, indecision or forgetfulness; and / or\n- Thoughts of death or suicide.\nIf you have either one of the first two symptoms, coupled with any four of the last seven, it means that you probably have a major depression. When the symptoms last for at least two weeks or if they include thoughts of suicide you should consult your doctor immediately.\nWhat Causes Depression?\nWith our current medical knowledge we must assume that no single cause gives rise to depression. In some cases environmental stress, personal circumstances and life events (psychosocial cause) can give rise to a depressive episode. These events may be death of a loved one, physical illness, financial hardship, retirement and retrenchment. Genetic research also supports the theory that there are family links in depression. Ultimately depression has a neurochemical cause which forms the basis of modern medical management.\nTreatment for Depression\nDepression is one of the most easily treated emotional disorders today. More than 80 % of depressive patients should recover within a few weeks thanks to a variety of effective treatments that have become available.\nAntidepressants are highly effective treatments. The choice of an antidepressant can be made from one of several classes of antidepressants. The most commonly used first line treatment for depression is the Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI’s). Older classes of antidepressants are the Tricyclic Antidepressants and Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors. Several new classes of antidepressants have been launched in recent years. Electroconvulsive or ‘shock’ therapy (ECT) is considered by many to be a very effective treatment for severe depression. It is used as a last line of treatment when all the other options were not successful.\nWhat can you expect when treated with an antidepressant?\nThis is a graphic representation of the phases during treatment.\n- The onset of action of all antidepressants is slow and you can expect at least two weeks of taking the antidepressant medication before you would start feeling better.\n- A full response would only be felt after 6 to 8 weeks.\n- It might be necessary for your doctor to adjust the dose of the medication upwards, or even change the medication to another class should you not have an adequate response.\n- The duration of treatment should be at least 6 months to a year. Some patients might even have to stay on a maintenance dose of medication for a longer time, in some cases even for life.\n- Never stop or change the dose of your medication without consulting your doctor. The patient must be committed to treatment and follow-up with his or her doctor at regular intervals.\n- Antidepressants do not have any addictive properties.\n- Maintenance is probably the most important facet in successful long-term treatment of depression – This can only be done by monitoring the outcome (Results) of treatment of depression on a regular basis.\nEven if medication is working, the value of psychotherapy is important. Therapy is useful during or after medication to repair other problems associated with depression. Psychotherapy involves the verbal interaction between a trained professional (usually a psychologist) and a patient with emotional or behavioural problems. The therapist applies techniques based on established psychological principles to help the patient gain insights about him or herself and thus change his or her maladaptive thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Several forms of this ‘talk treatment’ have proven useful in helping the depressed person. Today it is well recognized that Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy is most effective in dealing with patients with depression.\nIt is also important that depressed patients take responsibility for their own well being and develop a lifestyle that enhances this well being. The way you live your life, take care of yourself, and feel about yourself affects mood instability and depression. A concerted effort to alleviate stress in your life will go a long way to stabilize your mood. Making positive changes in your lifestyle and changing negative thought patterns to positive ones will also enhance overall well being. Take stock of your life, look at your lifestyle, build positive self-esteem and self-confidence, develop new ways of thinking, use relaxation techniques, change your diet, get regular exercise and join support groups.\nHow can family and friends help?\nThe willingness to listen to the negative thoughts and emotions of the depressed person is very important. Family and friends should be able to talk about and recognize feelings of such a person. (The following articles can be used as guidelines in understanding and developing these skills. Emosionele Inteligensie en Aktief Luister ). Family and friends should also be willing to find out more about depression, to learn the symptoms, and to help with treatment. Depression affects functioning, personality, attitude and perspective. People should know what to expect during the early stages of depression and over the long term. Relationships and lives will most probably be disrupted. An afrikaans article is available called ” Hoe om depressielyers te verstaan en te ondersteun “.\nDepression usually means a loss of self-esteem or self-confidence. By maintaining as normal a relationship as possible, talking through unwarranted negative thinking, encouraging efforts to improve, and acknowledging that the person is suffering from an illness will improve the depressed person’s self-worth. Telling him “pull your-self together” will only worsen the situation, so do not use this, thinking it is a form of encouragement.\nUnderstanding, care and respect will go a long way in giving the depressed person hope that his condition will eventually improve and his life return to normal.\nNever ignore remarks about suicide or death. Report them to the treating doctor.\nSelf-help books can also be a valuable source of information. Consult your local bookstore or ask for “The Depression Workbook” by Mary Copeland (New Harbinger Publications).\nIf you have any more questions regarding Depression consult your Doctor.\nThe Depression and Anxiety Support Group, Johannesburg branch can be reached at Depression and Anxiety Group. Trained counsellors will be able to provide you with counselling and further information and booklets on Depression and Anxiety. They can also put you in touch with a branch in your area.", "domain": "health"}

A dry and itchy scalp can be due to a lack of attention to your scalp. The dreads themselves don't make your head itch but there are several reasons that people with new dreads experience itchiness.\nHealthy, happy, mature dreads should not itch. If your dreads itch it is probably due to a dry scalp, build up on the scalp, washing the scalp with the wrong soap, not washing enough, or washing the scalp too many times.\nIn this blog, I’m going to share the best home remedies that are designed specifically to ease an itchy scalp caused by dreadlocks.\n#1 – Peppermint Hydrolysis (Hydrosol) spray\nIt’s always preferred to use peppermint hydrolysis spray than peppermint oil. Peppermint hydrolysis spray is better than peppermint oil because it helps to reduce Itch quicker comparatively.\nPeppermint has stimulant properties. Spray it on your scalp once or twice a day to reduce itch and to stimulate hair growth by revitalizing the hair follicles. It can be stored in the fridge, as cold also provide relief to the itchy scalp.\n#2 - Spray with Lavender Oil\nLavender oil is extremely effective for hair and itchy scalp treatment especially to take care of newly created dreads locks.\nIt not only calms down the itchy scalp but also helps hair growth, increases hair follicles as well as soothes dry scalp. Lavender Oil will give your scalp and hair a healthy treat since it has antibacterial properties and kills fungus.\nIts anti-bacterial property leaves your dreads protected against many forms of scalp irritants. This medicinal oil nourishes and moisturizes both scalp and dreadlocks.\n#3 - Use Tea Tree Essential Oil\nTea Tree essential oil is a great way to care for your dreadlocks! Very easy to use, just add water in the spray bottle and 4-6 drops of tea tree oil and you are ready to rock your dreads with a few splashes in the roots.\nYou and your hair will feel new and refreshed again. Tea tree essential oil has a warm, fresh and spicy aroma. I personally use it and supply it as well.\n#4 – Dreadlocks Deep Cleaning with baking soda and apple cider vinegar\nTo get rid of Itchy scalp with dreadlocks it’s vital to deep clean your dreads. For this, you need to wash your dreads using baking soda with shampoo. After that, it is vital to rinse with apple cider vinegar because it brings your scalp back to a normal PH.\nApple cider vinegar also kills bacteria and fungus, softens the locks, and stimulates hair growth. It makes itchy down and also nourishes the scalp.\nIn fact, apple cider vinegar is the best idea overall if you have caked residue and can't get rid of it otherwise. The vinegar is acidic in nature and will dissolve the build-up without hurting your dreads.\n#5 – Use DIY exfoliating scrub\nExfoliating the scalp is another technique you can use to remove flakes easily and remove the itch. Your scalp is an extension of your face and should be treated with the same care. It is very important to remove build-up off of the scalp in a way that is gentle and maintains the\nPut This paste on Scalp, Massage It. And then Wash it out with shampoo and use apple soda vinegar to rinse\nMix ingredients in a small bowl well before applying. Apply the paste on your scalp and Massage it very well into scalp in circular motions for several minutes. Rinse it without shampoo, also rinse with apple soda vinegar and style as usual.\n#6 – Keep Scalp Dry\nTry to keep the scalp as dry as possible to maintain healthy dreads. If you live in a humid area make sure to wash you scalp once a week.\nIf you wash your dreadlocks more than twice a week, try to reduce that frequency gradually to once per week. Washing too frequently, especially with a harsh shampoo, may strip your scalp of too many oils and lead to a dry, itchy scalp with dreadlocks.\n#7 - Massage your scalp\nWhen you do massage, it stimulates your scalp you are unknowingly removing old skin cells that keep the scalp skin healthy and prominently, a nice head massage increases blood circulation to your scalp. Healthy blood flow to your scalp means a healthy well-nourished scalp.\nMost people with dreads experience Itchy Scalp at some point. So, you shouldn’t feel like you’re fighting this battle alone! I hope you’ve learned a lot from this blog, apply my best recommendations to reduce your Itchy Dreads & Dandruff issues.\nWash the dreadlocks a lot more, take time to get more maintenance, but don’t compromise with scalp health and itch. A good Journey is more important. If you have any questions or recommendations of your own, feel free to leave a comment below.", "domain": "health"}

Mycophenolate was originally used in the management of patients with organ transplants but is now recommended in the treatment of many autoimmune diseases.\nMycophenolate has been used to treat people with lupus (especially those with symptoms of kidney disease), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), vasculitis, inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease, inflammatory eye disease (such as uveitis [iritis] and scleritis), and some other kidney and skin disorders.\nHow to Take It\nMycophenolate is taken in the form of a pill. In adults, it is typically taken twice daily for a total dose of 2–3 grams (2,000–3,000 mg) per day. The dose may be reduced in people with underlying kidney problems. The dose for children is usually lower than two grams a day. Caregivers administering mycophenolate should wear gloves when handling it due to concerns about pregnancy risks and effects on the immune system.\nThe most common side effects of mycophenolate are nausea, upset stomach, and stomach pain. Taking mycophenolate with food often helps prevent these side effects. Other possible side effects include headaches, dizziness, difficulty sleeping, tremor, or rash. Prolonged use of mycophenolate may increase the risk of some cancers such as lymphomas and skin cancers. While taking mycophenolate, regular laboratory monitoring is required to monitor blood counts and liver function. Mycophenolate can lower the ability of your immune system to fight infections. If you develop symptoms of an infection while using this medication, you should stop it and contact your rheumatology provider.\nTell Your Rheumatology Provider\nNotify your rheumatology provider if you have symptoms of an infection (such as fever or cough), diarrhea, or allergic reactions. You should also inform your rheumatology provider if you bruise or bleed easily, if you experience persistent or bloody diarrhea, or have shortness of breath. Mycophenolate usage should be stopped if there are signs of infection.\nMycophenolate has been associated with birth defects and pregnancy loss. If you are pregnant or considering pregnancy, let your rheumatology provider know before starting this medication. Women should discuss birth control with their primary care physicians or gynecologists. Breastfeeding should be avoided while taking this medication because the drug can enter breast milk.\nWhile taking mycophenolate, be sure to talk with your rheumatology provider before receiving any vaccines or undergoing any surgeries. Live vaccines should be avoided, and you should discuss updating your vaccinations prior to starting mycophenolate.\nUpdated April 2023 by Nina Washington, MD, MPH, and reviewed by the American College of Rheumatology Committee on Communications and Marketing.

Though a strong immune system won’t make you immune from everything, it certainly proves to be preventative and can help speed up your recovery when you do get sick.\nHere is my daily immune strengthening routine, I hope you can take a thing or two from it!\nVitamin C // This is a great immune system booster. I take a high quality Vitamin C everyday for maximum health benefits and absorption.\nProbiotics // Probiotics are healthy bacteria. They are very important for your gut health and certainly aid in keeping you healthy overall. They are great to take when you're taking oil of oregano and garlic tablets in order to ensure you still have a good amount of healthy bacteria in your body. I take them at least two hours apart from garlic tablets and oil of oregano because you don't wanna go killing all that good probiotic bacteria.\nImmune Support // I have an awesome little travel sized immune support + zinc spray. It is designed to quickly deliver immune-building ingredients such as zinc, colostrum, echinacea, reishi mushroom, bilberry, and blueberry.\nAM Daily Essentials: My morning daily essential vitamins come in a super convenient package. It contains a morning and an evening pack.\nFor breakfast every morning I drink a shake. In a nut shell, the chief function of my \"shake is to serve as a nutritious meal replacement. With a proper balance of protein, good fats, and low-glycemic carbohydrates, along with a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals, this shake takes all of the guesswork out of proper weight management and muscle maintenance\". It is basically a multi-vitamin that tastes like a milkshake. It is very pure and has been proven to help boost the immune system.\nAnother great thing about this breakfast is that it's delivered right to your door step! I often drink these shakes for lunch as well.\nEspecially during times like this, I am sure to add a scoop of immune booster to my morning shake. Made from a combination of Wellmune® beta-glucan, reishi, poria, and maitake mushrooms, Immune Shake Booster uses scientifically backed immune-health-supporting compounds to help prime, strengthen, and balance the immune system for better overall health.*\nOil of Oregano // Oil of oregano is incredible for when you can feel yourself getting sick. It will kill a lot of that bad bacteria. When travelling, I often bring it in capsule form to make it easier to transport.\nGarlic Tablets // These are good to take every day or when you feel a bug coming on. They will help strengthen your immune system and have natural anti-bacterial properties. Garlic tablets and oil of oregano should be taken a couple hours apart from your probiotics.\nPM Daily Essentials: My evening daily essential vitamins come in a super convenient package. It contains a morning pack and evening pack.\nThere you go, my daily immune strengthening routine! Ever since I decided to take control of my own health everything changed. I have so much energy, I feel fantastic more often than not and I've never felt happier and more confident.\nThanks for taking the time to read this, have a great day and stay safe!", "domain": "health"}

It is at this time when they grow and increase in size. This is why one should ensure they have enough time to sleep.\nThird, what kind of people and clients do you want to serve. You may not have a clear idea right now, and that is ok, but keep this question in mind as you pursue your career and work with clients. A great tip is to follow your passions, Crazy Bulk whether it's Body Building, power lifting, a team sport, a certain group of people, or even gardening, sailing, or skiing. Connecting with people you are passionate about, (their goals, their personalities, their abilities, their demographic, their activities, etc.) is one of the keys to being very successful and making work feel like fun and not a boring job!\nThe sad part is most people are performing this exercise in order to make their waist smaller. In reality, a muscle won't get smaller when you work it. It will get stronger and tighter but it won't shrink. This exercise works the obliques, quadratus lumborum and spinal erectors on one side. Below are a few options that wouldn't sacrifice the knee and still accomplish the same goal. Keep Crazy Bulk in mind the obliques are designed to rotate you. They are large fan shaped muscles. Resist rotation and your obliques will work big time.\nThere are no bad effects normally expected for women through body-building when done properly. And of course, there are good reasons why women choose to body build. Two among the reasons are as follows.\nBy the time a child is a year old he will be eating three meals a day, with a mid-morning and afternoon drink. Good food habits are started in childhood and if children are not given crisps sweets Body Building and biscuits between meals they will not develop a craving for them. Sweets and chocolate should be kept as a rare treat for a child - they only provide 'empty calories' and cause obesity and tooth decay.\nAs with any other process it Body Building takes a little understanding and a few rules to truly get the results that most hard gainers are looking for. Take a minute to look over the next few pointers to better understand them.\nThe gym you select has to take safety issues very seriously. The most important thing in bodybuilding is ensuring that you are safe and away from any thing which can result to gym injuries. As such a bodybuilder Crazy Bulk should ensure the gym they select has adequate safety rules otherwise they will end up with gym injuries. Gym injuries are very detrimental to bodybuilding progress and in fact many body builders have quit bodybuilding as a result of gym injuries. Gym injures are not a joke because if they are too intense you will have no option but Crazy Bulk to quit bodybuilding.\nBecause it is such a popular supplement, a lot of people want a part of the market. Do not get distracted by inferior supplements, if you want reliable and complete results. Trust GenF20 or Sytropin. If you do get distracted by all of the competition out there, and do not use the best HGH brands in the right fashion, then you could very well take a chance of wasting money and valuable time on ineffective HGH products.", "domain": "health"}

Castillo and Clerk Christa Z. De Gala discussed the case of Patient L.L., a five year old female kindergarten student in Pasig City with a chief complaint of hematemesis.\nClerk De Gala tackled the patient’s comprehensive history and review of systems, before proceeding to describe the physical examination, differential diagnosis and laboratory tests. The patient was given both an initial impression and admitting diagnosis of hypovolemic shock, secondary to upper gastrointestinal bleeding, and probably secondary to severe dengue, which was consistent with the clinical presentation and the laboratory results of the patient.\nIntern Castillo further discussed the case by giving an overview of how to diagnose dengue and how its classification was revised recently, given the overlap between the existing case definitions. He also explained the principle, specificity and sensitivity of the specific tests done on the said virus, such as the NS1 test and Dengue Blot, or the IgM and IgG tests.\nThe course in the wards of the patient was also reported, revealing that supportive management had been employed until the platelet count improved, her vital signs stabilized and no subjective complains arose, deeming the discharge diagnosis as hypovolemic shock resolved, secondary to upper gastrointestinal bleeding, and secondary to severe dengue recovery phase.\nIn relation to the case presented, he gave a discussion on the use of Euphorbia hirta (tawa-tawa) as an emerging management tool used against dengue, as it is believed to have pharmacological properties and secondary metabolites that could potentially be the active ingredient, although the course and mechanism of action of the said plant was not expounded. Some findings and methodology of his research studies were then presented in line with the potential bioactivity, inhibitory effect and IL6 secretions of the plant, which boils down to the fact that E. hirta has no approved therapeutic benefit yet.\nIntern Castillo also introduced a recent development of a preventive tool against dengue in the context of the dengue vaccine, otherwise known as Dengvaxia, which contains a combination of yellow fever virus and tetravalent dengue virus. Another study, which deals with the community’s knowledge, attitudes and practices towards dengue and the vaccine, was also discussed. He concluded the presentation with a challenge that research is something we all should work on today towards the future.\nDr. Imelda Luna, an Pediatric infectious disease specialist, reacted to the presentation, noting that the control of dengue is multifactorial. She noted that the case diagnosis of dengue was in line with the revised Dengue classification, and also tackled on the administration, side-effects and recommendation of the Dengvaxia vaccine.\nThe presentation sparked questions from the audience. When asked how to determine Day 1 of the disease and the power or strength, sample size and the outcome of the research studies used, Intern Castillo answered that it is treated as the limiting factor because it is often hard to determine the first day of its occurrence and that they only rely on the patient’s history, as stated by the parents or companion, which was why some of the test do not come as expected. Regarding the power of the study, he stressed that the cells used were pooled and each set-up and sample was done in triplicate. All of the results as well as the sample size were computed using a statistical software.\nAfter the presentation, the winners of this year’s MGMR, champions SLCM Chorale and second place winners St. Luke’s Dance Company, showed the SLCM community their winning performances. Dean Brigido Carandang Jr., was ecstatic with what the students of SLCM have accomplished.", "domain": "health"}

However, one employer has already publicly announced that he intends to make taking the vaccine a condition of employment and it is likely that other employers may wish to follow his example. Therefore, what is the legal position in this area? In short, compulsory vaccines is a legal minefield and employers will need to be very careful how they approach the matter. The following article explores the issues.\nUnder section 2 of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (HSWA 1974) an employer must take all reasonably practicable steps to reduce workplace risks to their lowest practicable level. Additionally, under section 7 of the HSWA 1974, an employee has a duty to co-operate as necessary with the employer to enable it to comply with any statutory requirements including reducing workplace risks. Moreover, employees will want to be reassured that they are working in a safe environment. However, this is unlikely to extend to employees being legally required to take the vaccine in all business sectors and we will have to wait for further guidance from the Government on what measures an employer may be required to take.\nThe meaning of “reasonableness” is likely to depend on the business sector of the employer and the services it provides. For example, the request of an employer operating in the social care sector for its employees to take the vaccination could be argued to be a ‘reasonable management request’ as refusing to take the vaccination could pose severe risk to fellow employees and patients and thereby threatening the business. Therefore, dismissal in such circumstances could fall within the range of reasonable responses for the employer to dismiss the employee fairly, either on conduct grounds or for some other substantial reason.\nThe position in other sectors is likely to be less clear and in any event, an employer should proceed with caution before deciding to dismiss. Employers will need to consider other available alternatives which may include moving the employee to another role involving less contact with clients or other employees.\nIn all sectors, the employer will also need to consider carefully the circumstances of the individual employee. The risks include discrimination on the grounds of religion and belief, disability, pregnancy and breaking data protection legislation as well as unfair dismissal if the employee has unfair dismissal rights.\nReligion and Belief\nIt is unlikely that an “anti-vax’ belief amounts to a philosophical belief for the purposes of the Equality Act 2010. However, not all vaccines in production have released their list of ingredients and it is possible that gelatine may have been used in some vaccines or in its production process and therefore, an employee with certain religious beliefs or vegans may have religious or philosophical grounds for refusing to take the vaccination.\nIf an employee has been advised by their doctor not to take the vaccine on medical grounds an employer’s requirement to take the vaccine may amount to disability discrimination. Even if the employee is not disabled, a Tribunal may find that the request to the employee to go against medical advice is an unreasonable request in any event.\nAn employee’s fear of needles (trypanophobia) may also amount to a disability and therefore the employer would need to consider whether it could provide alternative working arrangements for example, working from home on a permanent basis.\nPregnancy and maternity discrimination\nPublic Health England advice states that “women should be advised not to attend for vaccination if they are, or may be, pregnant, or are planning a pregnancy within three months of the first dose. Vaccinated women who are not pregnant should be advised to avoid becoming pregnant for two months after the second dose of vaccine”.\nTherefore, a requirement to take the vaccine as a condition of employment for a pregnant employee, or an employee planning a pregnancy, is likely to amount to sex discrimination, pregnancy/maternity discrimination.\nPersonal data collected in connection with an employee’s vaccination records will be sensitive personal data or special category personal data and will need to be processed in accordance with GDPR.\nIs it legal to collect such data?\nThe answer to this is whether the employer, as a data controller, has a legitimate interest or legal obligation to collect vaccine information due to the nature of their business. A care home owner may well be justified or may become legally obliged to do so whereas for an office role, the requirements to have such information is less clear cut.\nOn the face of it, an employer’s requirement for an employee to have a COVID vaccine appears a ‘reasonable instruction’ in order to keep other work colleagues safe in the work place. However, the positon is far more complex and raises numerous legal issues which will need to take into account the requirements of the employer and the individual circumstances of the employee.\nAs the vaccine rolls out across the age groups, employers will need to keep abreast of the Government public health guidance in relation to the pandemic and start to develop their own COVID-19 pandemic policies to take into account the implications of the vaccine in the workplace. Whilst the arrival of the vaccine is a huge relief for everyone, the vaccine should be seen as the next chapter in the pandemic story and sadly not the end.\nThe Employment Team at Taylor Walton is able to assist employers with the development of their COVID-19 policies and therefore please contact us if you need further assistance and advice.", "domain": "health"}

These side effects should resolve within a few days. It's also common for the lips to appear slightly darker in color immediately after the procedure, as the pigment is still settling into the skin. The color will lighten as the skin heals and the pigment fades slightly.\nIt's important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your cosmetic tattoo artist to ensure the best possible results. This may include avoiding certain activities, such as swimming or sweating, and applying ointment or balm to the treated area to keep the skin moisturized and to promote healing. You may also be advised to avoid exposing the treated area to the sun or to wear a high SPF sunscreen to prevent fading or unevenness.\nMost people are able to return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure, although it's recommended to avoid strenuous activity or exposure to extreme heat or cold for a few days. It's also important to avoid picking or scratching at the treated area to prevent infection and to allow the pigment to settle properly.\nIt's normal for the treated area to look patchy or uneven for the first few days after the procedure. As the skin begins to heal, the pigment will settle and the color will become more even. The final results of the procedure will become apparent within about a week or two. It's important to keep in mind that touch-up treatments may be needed to achieve the desired results.\nWhat's the healing process like?\nBefore Lip Blush\nAre the artists qualified to carry out treatment?\nYes! Absolutely. Our artist is has a VTCT level 4 in micropigmentation, 5 years of experience within the semi-permanent makeup field and has trained in UK and Asia.\nWe highly discourage going to an artist without a license. Although microblading is a great treatment to have, it comes with risks of trauma and infection of the skin when not done properly by a professional.\nWhat are the perks of Lip Blush?\nLip blush is designed to give the lips a natural-looking flush of color, rather than a solid block of pigment. This gives the lips a softer, more subtle appearance, as compared to traditional lip tattoos which tend to look more solid and blocky.\nThe results of lip blush typically last for 1-3 years, depending on factors such as skin type, sun exposure, and skincare routine. This means that you can enjoy the benefits of a lip color boost without the need for regular touch-ups or the maintenance required with traditional lip makeup.\nLip blush can be used to add definition and fullness to the lips, or to correct uneven or pale lips. This can help to enhance the overall appearance of the lips and give them a more youthful and defined look.\nAs a top skilled tattoo artist, Dee has mastered the art of creating beautiful, detailed cosmetic tattoos that are crafted to stand the test of time.

When a patient overstretches his or her Achilles tendon, it can result in a full or partial tear in the tendon, also known as a rupture. In addition to causing a great deal of pain, ruptures can have a profoundly negative impact on your quality of life and prevent you from performing activities you once enjoyed. Because these injuries tend to worsen with time, it?s important to contact a board certified orthopedic surgeon for immediate attention after an Achilles tendon tear.\nAs with any muscle or tendon in the body, the Achilles tendon can be torn if there is a high force or stress on it. This can happen with activities which involve a forceful push off with the foot, for example, in football, running, basketball, diving, and tennis. The push off movement uses a strong contraction of the calf muscles which can stress the Achilles tendon too much. The Achilles tendon can also be damaged by injuries such as falls, if the foot is suddenly forced into an upward-pointing position, this movement stretches the tendon. Another possible injury is a deep cut at the back of the ankle, which might go into the tendon. Sometimes the Achilles tendon is weak, making it more prone to rupture. Factors that weaken the Achilles tendon are corticosteroid medication (such as prednisolone), mainly if it is used as long-term treatment rather than a short course. Corticosteroid injection near the Achilles tendon. Certain rare medical conditions, such as Cushing?s syndrome, where the body makes too much of its own corticosteroid hormones. Increasing age. Tendonitis (inflammation) of the Achilles tendon. Other medical conditions which can make the tendon more prone to rupture, for example, rheumatoid arthritis, gout and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) - lupus. Certain antibiotic medicines may slightly increase the risk of having an Achilles tendon rupture. These are the quinolone antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin. The risk of having an Achilles tendon rupture with these antibiotics is actually very low, and mainly applies if you are also taking corticosteroid medication or are over the age of about 60.\nTypically patients present with sudden onset of pain and swelling in the achilles region, often accompanied by a audible snap during forceful dorsiflexion of the foot. A classic example is that of an unfit 'weekend warrior' playing squash. If complete a defect may be felt and the patient will have only minimal plantar flexion against resistance.\nA detailed history, and examination by an appropriately qualified health professional, will allow a diagnosis to be made. An ultrasound or MRI scan can confirm the diagnosis. Other causes of symptoms in the area, such as those referred from the lumbar spine and local infection, should be excluded.\nNon Surgical Treatment\nNon-surgical treatment typically involves wearing a brace or cast for the first six weeks following the injury to allow time for the ends of the torn tendon to reattach on their own. Over-the-counter medications, such as ibuprofen or aspirin, may be taken during this time to reduce pain and swelling. Once the tendon has reattached, physical therapy will be needed to strengthen the muscles and tendon. A full recovery is usually made within four to six months.\nThanks to a new surgical technique, operative procedures are often more beneficial.The operative treatment of Achilles tendon ruptures has significantly changed in recent years. The objective today is to connect the torn tendons using modern suture and possibly adhesive materials. Through small surgical incisions the ends of the torn tendon are surgically exposed, and sutures are used to tie the ends permanently together. Thus, the operated repaired tendon is again resilient within a reasonable time. The cast treatment and walking on crutches required in the past, is with this procedure usually not necessary. Instead, functional treatment following the surgery involves wearing a special boot, meaning that the patient can put weight onto the operated leg again within a few days after surgery. Physical therapy training will start immediately following the operation. The philosophy behind such an early functional treatment is that tissue adequately adapts to stress and thus accelerates the healing process. For the patient, the modern surgical treatment of an Achilles tendon rupture has the distinct advantage that no prolonged hospital stay is necessary. Hospital stay usually lasts only a few days. Using crutches, patients can return to work soon after the surgery.\nAchilles tendon rupture can be prevented by avoiding chronic injury to the Achilles tendon (i.e. tendonitis), as well as being careful to warm up and stretch properly before physical activity. Additionally, be sure to use properly fitting equipment (e.g. running shoes) and correct training techniques to avoid this problem!\n- Apr 29 Wed 2015 23:09", "domain": "health"}

It is also suitable for pretty much any dietary requirements you may have, as it’s naturally gluten free, and can easily be made vegan depending on the milk you’re choosing.\nMakes 1 serving:\n- 2 tbs chia seeds\n- 1.5 dcl milk of choice (Almond with a bit of milk kefir is my favorite)\n- 1 heaped tsp raw cacao powder\n*Optional extras for the base:\n- Neutral flavour collagen powder or protein powder\n- MCT oil\n- A spoon of oats\n- Reishi mushroom powder\n- 1.5 tbs yoghurt of choice (COYO is my preferred one)\n- Fresh or frozen berries\n- Coconut flakes\n- Cacao nibs\n- Nuts and seeds of choice\n- Maple Syrup or Honey\n- 1 tbs Nut butter of choice\n- In your jar or tupperware container, simply mix the Chia seeds, cacao powder and milk or yoghurt together and let it sit for at least 30min for the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken up. Give it a little stir every 10 minutes. If you are using any of the proposed extras for the base, you can mix them in as well.\n- If you’ll be having a relaxed breakfast at home the next day, you can place the chia pudding in the fridge after those 30 minutes and continue with the next step in the morning.\n- If you will be having it as a breakfast on the go, once the mixture is thick enough (at least 30 minutes) top it up with your proposed toppings. I like to start with some yoghurt, add the berries, and lastly sprinkle any nuts and seeds on top. My favourite combination is Coyo, berries, coconut, cacao nibs, cashews and some almond butter, but there is limitless combination to suit what you have in your pantry as well as your taste.\n*You can also make a larger batch of the base pudding, it will keep well for at least 4 days in the fridge.

Even more neglected than the unit itself are the filters. Air filters are an essential component of our heating and cooling systems that require routine maintenance and cleaning. Dirty air filters can negatively impact our indoor air quality and even reduce the lifespan of our HVAC systems. Luckily, our Crown Point, IN, pros can help! At All Services, we offer convenient and routine air filter replacements, so you never have to worry about forgetting to change your filter again!\nWant to do more for the air quality in your home? Be sure to ask about our air cleaning and filtration services, and create a permanently healthier environment inside your home.\nBenefits of AC & Furnace Filter Replacement\nAir filters are what prevent particles such as dirt, dust, pollen, and other debris from circulating throughout your home via your HVAC system. Without an effective air filter in place, your entire family can be at risk for airborne pollutants. Hence why routine air filter replacement is beneficial. Some of the additional benefits you can expect to reap include:\n- Better Air Quality: Perhaps the most important benefit of routine air filter replacement is improved indoor air quality. It is estimated by the EPA that indoor air is up to 70% more polluted than outdoor air. This is often because of poor air filter maintenance.\n- Reduced Energy Consumption: When our ducts become clogged with dirt and debris, more energy is required than usual to supply our homes with cool air and heat from our HVAC systems. By making sure that these contaminants are filtered out, you can drastically reduce how much energy your HVAC system uses.\n- Extended Life Span: The best way to prolong the life of your HVAC unit is by keeping up with routine maintenance. This includes routine air filter replacement as the best line of defense between your unit and harmful contaminants.\nHow Often Filters Should Be Replaced\nThe primary reason air filters often go unchanged is simply because most people don’t know how often they should be replaced in the first place. This answer will vary based on different factors such as family size or if pets reside in your Crown Point, IN, home.\nIf you have pets, air filters should be replaced every two months to eliminate fur from clogging air ducts and interfering with the productivity of your HVAC unit. If you don’t have pets, you can get by having your filters replaced at least twice a year. However, if you dwell in an urban community, it’s best to change your air filters more frequently, at least three times a year, to combat poor outside air quality.\nAir filters aren’t the only component of your HVAC system that needs routine maintenance. Call All Services to schedule your professional AC maintenance today!\nProfessional Filter Replacement\nThere are very few things more important than the quality of the air we breathe. Most of the time, this is a factor out of our control, but when it comes to the quality of our home’s air, there are things we can do.

Himalayan Pink Salt has gained immense popularity in recent years, touted as a healthier alternative to table salt. It’s known for its distinctive pink color and claims of various health benefits. However, amidst its rising fame, several myths and misconceptions have emerged. In this article, we will debunk these myths and provide you with a clear understanding of what Himalayan Pink Salt truly is.\nTable of Contents\nWhat is Himalayan Pink Salt?\nBefore we delve into the myths, let’s understand the basics. Himalayan Pink Salt is a type of rock salt mined from the Khewra Salt Mine in Pakistan, not the Himalayan Mountains. It gets its pink hue from trace minerals like iron oxide. Now, let’s address some of the common myths surrounding this salt.\nMyths Associated with Himalayan Pink Salt\nMyth 1: Himalayan Pink Salt is Healthier Than Table Salt\nOne of the prevailing myths is that Himalayan Pink Salt is a healthier alternative to table salt. While it does contain trace minerals, it’s not significantly healthier. Both salts primarily consist of sodium chloride, making their nutritional profiles quite similar.\nMyth 2: Himalayan Pink Salt Contains 84 Trace Minerals\nAnother widespread belief is that Himalayan Pink Salt contains a rich spectrum of 84 trace minerals. While it does contain some trace minerals, the quantities are too minuscule to provide any substantial health benefits.\nMyth 3: Himalayan Pink Salt Can Cure Various Health Conditions\nSome claim that this salt can cure a range of health conditions, from respiratory issues to skin problems. However, there’s no scientific evidence to support these claims. Consult a healthcare professional for proper medical advice.\nMyth 4: Himalayan Pink Salt Can Help with Weight Loss\nWeight loss myths are prevalent, and Himalayan Pink Salt is not exempt. There’s no conclusive evidence to suggest that consuming this salt aids in weight loss. Weight management requires a balanced diet and exercise.\nMyth 5: Himalayan Pink Salt Has Antioxidant Properties\nWhile it does contain some antioxidants due to its mineral content, these levels are not significant enough to replace a diet rich in antioxidant-rich foods like fruits and vegetables.\nMyth 6: Himalayan Pink Salt Detoxifies the Body\nDetoxification claims are popular, but there’s no scientific basis to support the idea that Himalayan Pink Salt can detoxify the body. The body’s natural processes handle detoxification.\nMyth 7: Himalayan Pink Salt Is the Purest Salt on Earth\nClaims of purity are common, but purity levels can vary among different batches of Himalayan Pink Salt. It may contain impurities and pollutants, so it’s essential to source it from reputable suppliers.\nMyth 8: Himalayan Pink Salt Comes from the Pristine Himalayan Mountains\nContrary to popular belief, this salt doesn’t come from the Himalayan Mountains. It’s mined in the Khewra Salt Mine in Pakistan, which is located far from the Himalayas.\nMyth 9: Himalayan Pink Salt Is Ethically Sourced\nEthical sourcing is crucial, but the salt industry faces challenges related to fair labor practices and environmental concerns. Verify the ethical practices of the supplier before purchasing.\nMyth 10: Himalayan Pink Salt is Eco-Friendly\nWhile it may seem eco-friendly due to its natural origin, mining operations can have environmental impacts. Look for suppliers committed to sustainable practices.\nMyth 11: Himalayan Pink Salt Is Suitable for Everyone\nNot everyone can benefit from Himalayan Pink Salt. Individuals with specific health conditions, such as hypertension, should monitor their sodium intake and consult a healthcare professional.\nMyth 12: Himalayan Pink Salt Can Regulate Blood Pressure\nContrary to popular belief, this salt does not have the ability to regulate blood pressure. Maintaining healthy blood pressure requires a well-balanced diet and lifestyle.\nMyth 13: Himalayan Pink Salt is Low in Sodium\nAll types of salt, including Himalayan Pink Salt, contain sodium. Excessive sodium intake can lead to health problems. Moderation is key.\nIn conclusion, while Himalayan Pink Salt is a unique and visually appealing salt variety, many of the claims surrounding its health benefits are exaggerated or unsubstantiated. It’s essential to approach it with a critical mindset and not rely on it as a miracle solution. A balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are the true keys to well-being.\nIs Himalayan Pink Salt really pink?\nYes, it gets its pink color from trace minerals like iron oxide.\nCan Himalayan Pink Salt cure illnesses?\nThere is no scientific evidence to support such claims.\nIs it a suitable salt for people with high blood pressure?\nPeople with hypertension should consult their healthcare provider for dietary recommendations.\nDoes Himalayan Pink Salt have fewer health risks than table salt?\nBoth salts primarily consist of sodium chloride, so they have similar health risks when consumed in excess.\nIs it necessary to switch to Himalayan Pink Salt for a healthier diet?\nNo, a well-balanced diet that includes various nutrient-rich foods is more important than the type of salt used.", "domain": "health"}

One such ailment is arthritis particularly of their legs. Sleeping can become a painful and difficult time for your pet, however there are solutions. Put relaxation and comfort back into bed time with a dog bed orthopedic design. Orthopedic beds are a great option because they do not put stress on the joints like sleeping on the floor can. There are some components that every orthopedic dog bed must have. They are a soft, supportive cushion, no legs or added height, and must be treated to repel insects, bacteria, and even bad smells.\nThe cushion used to fill the majority of the bed needs to do specific things in order to relieve the pain of the joints. The material it is made out of will be a large factor in getting the bed right. Memory foam and dog bed orthopedic gel inserts are the two best options for padding. The memory foam contours to your pet and supports him where he needs it most. Orthopedic gel inserts are designed to help animals with joint pain, but can be quite expensive. There are cheaper options, but if you can afford it the memory foam is the best.\nDog bed orthopedic style must be placed directly on the ground for added comfort. If your pet has a hard time walking with bad joints, you do not want him to jump up to his bed. Placing the bed on the floor is the safest and nicest way to accommodate your pet's ailment. Because there is no need for legs on the bed, you can find one that is very simple. Usually orthopedic dog beds will be simple frames with the filling material inside. The build is simple, which also makes moving, storing, and carrying the bed in your home much easier.\nAll dog beds should have a treatment on them which will do several things for your benefit. If the bed can repel odors instead of absorbing them, it will last much longer before smelling terrible. Also you should find a bed that is treated to keep away all the parasitic bugs that dogs are prone to. A dog bed orthopedic style could make the difference in your pet's demeanor and activity levels. You will enjoy your dog's new attitude as much as your dog will enjoy his night's sleep.

Are you looking for natural ways to improve your health? Are you searching for simple yet healthy recipes?\nIf the answer to any of these questions is yes, then natural lemon beverages are the perfect solution for you. In this article, you'll learn how to create delicious and healthy lemon beverages using natural ingredients and gain an understanding of the amazing health benefits these drinks can provide.\nWe’ll discuss the ingredients needed to prepare these drinks, the instructions on how to make them, and the amazing health benefits that can be experienced. Finally, we’ll wrap up by examining how lemon beverages can play a role in weight loss, improved digestion, boosted immunity, reduced stress, increased energy, and clearer skin.\nSo let's get started!\nIngredients NeededWhen it comes to preparing natural lemon beverages, there are just a few simple ingredients you will need. The most important and basic ingredient is lemons. They should be of the highest quality and always organic in order to obtain the best flavor and the highest levels of nutrients. In addition to lemons, you will also require filtered water, ideally cold, and natural sweetener of your choice if desired.\nFor those taking a more advanced approach, spices such as ground ginger, cayenne pepper, and/or mint leaves can be added to bring out unique flavors and even further enhance the health benefits. Additionally, if looking to add a bit of extra nutrition, herbs like basil and chamomile can be used.\nNo matter the ingredients used, natural lemon beverages offer a tremendous array of health benefits. Primarily, their high levels of Vitamin C and antioxidants can help to ward of common illnesses, such as colds and flus, by boosting the body’s natural immune system. Additionally, regular consumption can help to aid digestion, reduce inflammation, and even help to improve energy levels.\nInstructionsNatural lemon beverages are a refreshing, healthy and simple way to enjoy the health benefits of lemons. Here are the steps to preparing natural lemon beverages at home.\n- Lemons (1-2 per serving)\n- Honey or other sweetener (optional)\nStep 1: Wash the lemons with cold water.\nStep 2: Slice the lemons into thin slices and place in a large pitcher or glass.\nStep 3: Add cold water, enough to cover the lemons, and let sit for at least 15 minutes.\nStep 4: Strain the liquid, discarding the lemon slices.\nStep 5: Add honey or other sweetener to taste, if desired.\nStep 6: Serve the lemon beverage chilled, over ice, and enjoy!\nPreparing natural lemon beverages at home is a simple and delicious way to reap the amazing health benefits of lemons. Lemons are an excellent source of vitamin C and helps support the immune system, helps maintain healthy skin, and contains the enzyme limonene, which helps fight inflammation. Natural lemon beverages may also aid in digestion, help lower blood pressure, and may help reduce the risk of certain types of cancer. So take a few moments to whip up a natural lemon beverage and enjoy the many health benefits it provides!\nHealth BenefitsNatural lemon beverages offer an abundance of health benefits that can help improve overall wellbeing. Lemons contain high levels of vitamin C which can help strengthen the body's immune system, as well as help to reduce inflammation in the body. Studies have also suggested that lemons can aid in digestion and help to prevent certain types of cancers.\nLemons are known to have a positive effect on cardiovascular health as well. The vitamin C and antioxidants contained in lemons can help to reduce the risk for hypertension, stroke, and heart disease. Additionally, a compound in lemons called D-limonene has been found to help reduce cholesterol levels and decrease triglyceride levels in the blood.\nThe high levels of potassium contained in lemon juice can also help to reduce the risk for kidney stones, and can help to increase the efficiency of nerve and muscle function. Lemon juice can also help to reduce nausea and prevent bloating.\nFurthermore, the alkaline nature of lemon juice can help to balance the acid-alkaline levels of the body. This balance can help to improve overall physical and mental health, reduce fatigue and improve energy levels, and improve circulation.\nIncluding natural lemon beverages in your daily diet is a great way to enjoy these amazing health benefits. As with any dietary change, it is important to consult your physician prior to making any drastic changes to your diet.\nWeight LossOne of the most amazing benefits of drinking natural lemon beverages is its ability to support weight loss. In addition to helping the body take in fewer calories and burn them more efficiently, natural lemon beverages have strong anti-oxidant properties that can help reduce inflammation and flush out toxins from the body. Furthermore, natural lemon beverages can help reduce bloating and keep your digestive system running smoothly. Additionally, they provide an excellent source of vitamin C, which can boost your metabolism, giving your body a natural energy boost. Drinking natural lemon beverages can help support your weight loss goals by helping to reduce calorie intake, flush out toxins, and boost metabolism.\nImproved DigestionNatural lemon beverages are known for their natural detoxifying properties, which can help with improved digestion. Lemons are rich in vitamin C and dietary fiber, helping to cleanse your digestive system and promoting good bacteria in the gut. The acidic nature of lemons also aids digestion, as it works to break down proteins and fats more effectively. Drinking a glass of natural lemon beverage can help to reduce bloating, prevent indigestion, and add essential minerals and vitamins to your diet.\nBoosts ImmunityLemon beverages are an excellent way to boost immunity. The vitamin C found in lemons helps the body fight off infections and boosts immunity. Additionally, the antioxidants and other compounds in lemons help to protect the body from free radicals and other toxins. Drinking lemon water on a daily basis can help improve overall health and well-being. Additionally, lemon juice also helps to flush toxins from the body and reduce inflammation, which can help improve immunity.\nLemon beverages, whether consumed hot or cold, can reduce stress levels in many individuals. The pleasant, citrus aroma of lemons can help to reduce heart rate and blood pressure, while consuming lemon beverages with honey can help to relax the body and mind. The combination of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in lemon beverages can help to reduce anxiety and improve overall mood. Lemon beverages are also known to aid in digestion, which can help the body to better handle stress.", "domain": "health"}

Last modified October 12, 2021. https://www.asbestos.com/blog/2016/01/06/planning-new-years-resolutions-with-mesothelioma/.\nAs we flip our calendar from 2015 to 2016, our thoughts typically shift to taking stock of our lives, reflecting upon the past and planning for the future.\nIt is a time of well-intentioned resolutions and turning over new leaves with the hope of feeling healthier and happier.\nSimilarly, there are certain life events where we pause and evaluate our lives. Birthdays (especially big milestones like 30, 40, 50 or 65) typically make us more aware of our age, health and where we are on the path of our lives. Divorce or the death of loved ones can also lead us to re-examine our lives and\nA mesothelioma diagnosis is certainly one of those life events. Because mesothelioma is a life-limiting illness, it can challenge our long-term plans regarding our roles, relationships, careers, retirement plans and financial security.\nSome people with mesothelioma may find themselves wondering, ‘Will I be alive at the end of 2016?’ or ‘Will I be well enough to travel to our annual family reunion this summer?’\nPositive thoughts may be difficult to maintain when a patient’s pain is worsening, and their energy is waning. It may be even more devastating when their oncologist tells them the disease is not responding to treatment.\nBut there are ways you and your loved ones can overcome the challenge of planning for the future.\nPlanning for the New Year\nThe new year is a time for planning fun activities, vacations, work projects and professional goals.\nHere are a few tips to help those with mesothelioma and their loved ones plan for the new year:\n- Balance and flexibility are key.\n- Expect you may be in and out of treatment this year. If there is something major you would like to do this year, talk to your oncologist about the feasibility and timing of taking a break from treatment to take that big trip or to focus on achieving that milestone you’ve been working on for years.\n- Expect the unexpected and plan for contingencies. This means that you should not spend a large chunk of your savings on a nonrefundable trip or make plans that can’t be altered in case of a change in your health status.\n- Accept the notion that the patient and caregiver may not have the energy or desire to continue ambitious work, travel or recreational schedules this year.\n- Explain to family and friends that you may need to scale back your activities because of your or your loved one’s illness.\n- Investigate what or who causes stress in your life and vow to try and let go of people or responsibilities that drain you emotionally or physically. This will allow you to focus on those relationships and activities that are truly meaningful to you.\nBe Realistic About Your Expectations\nThe new year is a time of renewal and reflection for everyone.\nIt is no different for those affected by mesothelioma. However, a terminal illness can certainly change those things we hope and dream for in the new year,\nand they will affect the plans we make.\nWith realistic expectations and some flexibility, people with mesothelioma and their caregivers can continue to make plans and set goals this year.", "domain": "health"}

The aim is to get Palmers operatives trained to a minimum of Mental Health awareness standard – with selected operatives progressing to Mental Health First Aiders – and teach staff to monitor and improve the mental health of its 250+ scaffolding operatives and support staff.\nInitially Palmers management and operatives are in training to progress through mental health modules working towards becoming Mental Health First Aiders. And another batch of operatives are already booked for a second wave of the half, one and two day courses in Autumn. There are also additional courses for scaffolding supervisors booked in late July and a bespoke course with Palmers main contractor clients taking place in September.\nSafety In Mind pioneer and Palmers Airports Divisional Manager, Tony Mileham said: “We are keen to look after our operatives and staff as well as show our clients, the scaffolding sector and wider construction industry that we are leading the way in our commitment to mental health training… and this training goes a long way to prove that.\n“The Safety In Mind/MHFA England program offers superbly curated courses – helping to give real world, practical advice and quality education to help deal with an issue that is blighting our industry, with conditions like depression and anxiety worryingly on the rise and suicide rates in construction way above the national sector average.\n“We have Palmers supervision and management teams attending the Mental Health Awareness half day courses this Summer and we intend to get our workforce trained as a minimum to Mental Health Awareness standard by the year end. We will then select the right candidates to progress through to the half day Mental Health Awareness standard, before again selecting candidates for the more involved two day Mental Health First Aid training courses. It’s a long term commitment to improve mental health.”\nIan McFarlane, Palmers Director of Business and Project Development said: “We have always prided ourselves on looking after the safety of our scaffolders and staff, and this Safety In Mind mental health awareness and first aider creation campaign is an extension of those core values. It’s our aim to spot potential issues in our staff before they escalate.”\nThe MHFA course content covers pertinent mental health issues like:\n- Mental health first aid\n- Mental health\n- Impact of stress on your mental health\n- First aid for suicidal crisis\n- First aid for depression\n- Personality disorders\n- Eating disorders\n- Self harm\n- MHFA planning\n- Substance abuse and its relationship / impact on mental health\n- Bipolar disorder\n- Useful recourses to signpost anyone in crisis\nMHFA says: “The course will provide a better understanding of mental health issues and help to demystify some of the common myths that we all can be guilty of having such as thinking PTSD is a combat disease when in reality it’s more prevalent in domestic abuse.”\nAround 25% of people in the UK will experience at least one diagnosable mental health issue in any one year (Health & Social Care Information Centre, 2009). Suicide is the biggest killer of men aged 20 to 49 (Office for National Statistics, 2015). Mental ill health is responsible for the largest burden of ill health in the UK, representing 28% of the total burden, compared to 16% for cancer and 16% for heart disease (Annual Report of the Chief Medical Officer, 2013).", "domain": "health"}

Within the context of practicing in a contemporary healthcare setting nursing is compelled to avoid such criticism. It is imperative that nurses reflect on and are succinct about the fundamental nature of what they do (Willis et.al, 2008) and the impact that has in the modern healthcare arena. If we cannot identify this then we will hand control of our present and our future over to others (Clarke and Lang, 1992). To enable this process we need to examine the sum of the parts that form the precepts at the very core of our existence. Present-day nursing has gone through many stages in its development. Austin (2011, p. 161) contends that in all that time nursing’s commitment to those in its care has not changed and that ‘Nursing is grounded in faithfulness, in constancy and loyalty to patients, families, communities’. The Royal College of Nursing (2014) defines nursing as ‘The use of clinical judgement in the provision of care to enable people to improve, maintain, or recover health, to cope with health problems and to achieve the best possible quality of life, whatever their disease or disability until death’.\nNursing is not practiced in a void. It has been shaped by society and in turn it has helped to shape society (Donahue, 1985). Two examples of determining factors shaping nursing today are an ageing population and the increased prevalence of chronic diseases. Frequent hospital admissions and complex treatments make chronic diseases a major issue for healthcare (O’Shea et al., 2013). The recent downturn in the global economy has resulted in a drive for cost containment. The way we provide healthcare is being changed as conformity to pre-scripted practices is favoured over clinical judgement risking the potential to inherently change the essence of the nurse-patient relationship (Austin, 2011).\nWe live in an era of economic polarization, armed conflicts, environmental problems, corruption, injustice and changing communication patterns (Dali Lama, 2012). The roles played by nurses and the scope of nursing practice needs to engage with these issues in a meaningful way to maintain its social mandate while at the same time maintaining the values of the profession (Risjord, 2010). The permutation of the common good and the dignity of the individual affords nursing a unique philosophical basis from which to develop its own theories and specialist knowledge enhancing its meaningful contribution to society (Mc Curry, 2009).\nNursing theories are coherent approaches to describe, explain, predict and prescript nursing care (Meleis, 2012) and it is necessary that we use them to underpin our practice (Willis et al., 2008). Early metaparadigms included the person, environment, health and nursing as central concepts to nursing (Fawcett, 1984). Theorists such as Parse (1992) contend that nursing should not be a central concept as it is in fact the whole. Intellectual discourse around nursing theory has centred on distilling the central concepts. Newman (2008) advises incorporating knowledge from other disciplines. Bohm (1980) warns against the idea of an all encompassing nursing theory and suggests the strength of nursing theory lies in their diversity. More recently a unitary- transformative approach in which the person is considered as a whole and the relationship is regarded as the central aspect of nursing theory has emerged as the imperative in the discourse around nursing theories (Newman et al., 1991).\nGrace (2002, p. 67) reports that ‘Practicing according to a well-established theoretical framework generally results in more consistent and better care than does practice without such guides’. Chambers (1998) feels that nursing theories can be too aloof and may result in the exploitation of nursing. Mc Crae (2011) is concerned about theories constructed on empirical evidence only and cites Attree’s (2001) concerns about scientific methods being unsuitable to explore important nursing qualities such as sympathy and compassion. This is what Cody (2013, p. 8) refers to as the Praxis of nursing and talks about nurses using ‘reasoning relevant to their situation’. Future nursing research needs to reflect issues relevant to current practice, use a variety of research methodologies and add to how we already help patients reach their potential (Willis et al., 2008). Nursing theory should remain the construct that directs nurses in their practice with patients and is the starting point for a give-and-take relationship between nursing theories and nursing practice (Fawcett, 1992).\nNursing theories are integral when we come to talk about nursing as a professional discipline. Newman (1991, p. 1) states that ‘A discipline is distinguished by a domain of inquiry that represents a shared belief among its members regarding its reason for being’. Nursing as a discipline is inclusive of all the many purposes nurse fulfil, includes the theories developed to explain it, research findings generated by it about it and functions as an entity to promote the discipline (Meleis, 2012). Nursing as a professional discipline is bound by a code of ethics, has a registration process, has power and authority over training and education, is accountable to the public and provides a knowledgeable service to society (Bohan, 2015). Nursing as a professional discipline is defined by a number of characteristics that accumulate to afford it distinction.\nNursing now considers itself a human science with an emphasis on engaging with the human experience in health, illness and dying (Meleis, 2012). Because experiences are subjective and open to a myriad of influences nursing seeks to find out what effect they have on those under our care (Willis et al., 2008). Meleis (2012) argues that it is this exact interest that makes nursing a practice discipline. Mitchell and Coady (2002) argue that when nursing is practiced from a human science approach it can be considered both an art and a science.\nIt was Leininger (1978) who first described caring as a central tenant to the discipline of nursing. Newman (2008) agreed but was concerned about the lack of clarity around the concept. Authors such as Condon (1992) welcomed the introduction of the concept and felt it presented an opportunity to move away from older archaic military and religious connotations associated with the discipline. Meleis (2012) welcomes the fact that caring carries more bearing in contemporary western society and Watson (1985) argues that caring is not a means to an end but an end in its self. Further discourse around the concept has prompted nursing scholars such as Cody (2013) to suggest that the remit of caring is explained in terms of brining the humanness to any health related activity. Meleis (2012) contends that nursing has always been health orientated with nurses, through their practice, helping individuals take charge of their own health. Newman (1991) suggests a blending of the two into a defining ideology that further helps identify the discipline of nursing.\nNursing is about the doing, the actual practice of nursing care. Nurses monitor, assist and empower individuals in illness and potential illness (Bottorff, 1991). We are concerned about what we do, why we do it and when we do it (Meleis, 2012). As a practice orientated discipline we gain twenty four hour, seven days a week engagement with our clients. We are in a prime position to get to really know those in our care (Jenny and Logan, 1992). Meleis (2012, p. 91) states that nurse patient relationships ‘…are characterised by continuity, intensity, and involvement in ways that other health care professionals do not experience’. The same author is concerned that inquiry around the practical aspects of nursing is being superseded by the pursuit of more theoretical knowledge and the effect this may have on nursing as a practice discipline (Meleis, 2012).\nNursing as a discipline has a body of knowledge, a domain, which is particular to its self and which posse’s practical and theoretical considerations, too nurses (Meleis, 2012). Newman (1991) reports that concepts central to nursing have been the nurse, the patient, the situation, their purpose together and the patients health. Cowling et al., (2008) suggests adding the concepts of wholeness, consciousness and caring. Meleis (2012) uses the exaggerated scenario of space travel to reveal how the body of knowledge we consider as belonging to nursing may have to adapt to meet or client’s needs in the future – e.g. current knowledge around environment. Meleis (2012) lists seven concepts which she believes go to help define nursing’s body of knowledge. They are the nursing client, transitions, interaction, nursing process, environment, nursing therapeutics and health. Mc Namara (2011) claims that nursing has traditionally been bad at articulating its domain. Failure to do so can lead to the subordination of the discipline where nurses find themselves practicing to fill in short falls in healthcare systems (Latimer, 2000). Further delineation of nursing’s domain of knowledge will come about through research, practice, education and administration (Meleis, 2012).\nSahlsten (2008) asserts that participation with patients is present when 1) there is an established relationship between nurse and patient, 2) there is some surrendering of power or control by the nurse, 3) there is shared information and 4) there is engagement together in intellectual and /or physical activity. Newman (1991, p. E17) expands the idea further and talks of the relationship being ‘… embedded in a concept of wholeness, evolving pattern, and transformation’. On the evidence presented in the previous paragraphs this author suggests that nursing is a participatory rich practice. For maximum participation nurses need to engage without preconceived ideas (Sahlsten, 2008).\nIn conclusion the professional discipline of nursing can outline a very definitive practice orientated ontology. Is that ontology completed? Because of nursing’s very nature this author believes that it may not be. Nursing is and will continue to adapt to meet the needs of those in its care. If nurses can continue be clear about the disciplines ontological basis they will be afforded the privilege of engaging in practice that is rewarding for them and to the healthcare system they work in (Newman et al., 2008).", "domain": "health"}

Embarrassment is the last thing that you should feel, considering that a variety of issues can cause this problem to develop that you might not realize. Luckily, there’s also a plethora of ways to cure ED. Yes, you can learn how to cure ed permanently and avoid those expensive medications and embarrassing talks with your doctor and your loved one. How can you cure ED? There’s four ways listed below. Each of these strategies works well with the other, so use them all for the best results.\n1- Eat Healthy\nYou are what you eat. Many health issues can develop as result of an improper diet. It’s important to avoid those by consuming foods that are healthy and food for you and to moderate the portions that you eat. Reach for whole grains, lean meats, and healthy fruits and veggies to avoid issues.\nIt is also important that you exercise to maintain the best health and avoid problems with ED. Walking is one of the best heart-healthy exercises that you can do and one of the best to help prevent ED. Brisk walking 30 minutes per day can do more good for your body than you realize. Of course, walking is only one exercise that you can perform to stay healthy.\n3- Go to the Doctor\nStaying healthy is dependent upon lifestyle choices that you make, as well as regular trips to the doctor for preventative care. It’s easier to treat and prevent health issues before they occur than it is to cure them after they happen. When you make regular visits to the doctor, you can be certain of your good health.\n4- Maintain a Healthy Weight\nAlthough partially tied to a good diet and exercise, it is important to know that you need to maintain a healthy weight to avoid health issues like erectile dysfunction. Studies show that many overweight and obese men are affected by ED. It is always important to maintain healthy weight; now there’s even more reason.\n5- Avoid Stress\nStress is something we cannot entirely avoid but when you feel it coming on, taking steps to reduce and/or prevent it is important. Stress is a known cause of erectile dysfunction, but you can prevent it if you try. There’s many ways to eliminate stress out of your life. Some people eliminate stress through exercise, and some through writing, playing an instrument, or even drawing.\nErectile dysfunction medications are available that help you achieve an erection. However, wouldn’t life be far more grand if you didn’t have the problem and the worry at all? When the methods of treatments listed above are used, ED is a concern of the past and you’ll soon find that you can achieve a rock hard erection every single time. Why wait any longer to cure the problem when doing so is easy?", "domain": "health"}

Our VNI finished products are validated by peer-reviewed science published in respected and cited journals most of which are available on PubMed.\nFirst, a brief background on me. I was in the premium quality evidence-based nutritional raw ingredient business for 24 years. I introduced some of the most popular ingredients to the natural products market: IE: Super CitriMax® (Garcinia Cambogia); ChromeMate® (oxygen coordinated chromium polynicotinate); ActiVin® (the first proprietary water-extracted grape seed extract that opened the flood-gates for the botanical antioxidants genre like OPCs); L-OptiZinc®, AlgaeCal® (a proprietary Algae-based Calcium & mineral supplement that became the #1 most popular selling calcium supplement in the natural products industry (New Chapter Bone Strength Take Care); Garden of Life Raw Calcium, Nature’s Plus Source of Life Garden Calcium, etc.). I have been researching biochemistry, nutrition, genetics, and the cause of chronic degenerative diseases for over 34 years and now have over 100 papers published in the peer-reviewed scientific literature. Over 30 of those published papers are available on PubMed: (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=downs+b).\nScientists on VNI’s Scientific Advisory Board have a combined total of around 1,000 published research papers on PubMed (and continually growing). Dr. Steve Kushner, my colleague, specializes in natural and bioenergetic therapies and nutrition. He has been a product formulator for over 30 years.\nVNI products are distinctly unique to anything else in the market. We now have 48 published clinical studies on our finished products with 3 patents and 2 patents pending. Our products are exclusive to VNI Customers and Partners.\nI invite you to review research on our finished products at www.VNIScience.com and watch webinars I’ve done on each of our products at www.VNI.life.\nProdovite® is a patent-pending Prodosomed® iron-free liquid vitamin, mineral and phytonutrient dietary supplement that has been shown to restore iron-dependent hemoglobin to red blood cells in 5 minutes or less, that was sustained for at least 30 minutes. The clinical study was published in Food & Nutrition Research and is available on PubMed at the following link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6510707/. Provide is essentially “liquid blood food” and is nutrition that gets absorbed in 5 minutes or less (i.e. Nutrition That Gets In®).\nN-Sorb™ is a unique Prodosomed® multi-enzyme complex that is engineered to be activated in a pH of 6.5 to 8.5; the pH of the body’s tissues on the other side of the GI tract. Being Prodosomed, N-Sorb enzymes gain rapid access to the bloodstream. The abstract for a clinical study published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition (JACN) is available on PubMed at the following link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30971174. Aside from promoting a better quality of sleep, importantly, this study demonstrates that N-Sorb enzymes promote healthy properties of the blood and immune function.\nBrain Reward (a KB220Z/BR Neuroadaptogen) is a patented nutrigenomic technology that now has 43 published clinical studies validating its ability to nutritionally optimize Serotonin, Enkephalin, Endorphin, GABA and Dopamine Functions. Brain Reward’s benefit claims are approved by our regulatory attorneys. Brain Reward reduces cravings and enhances focus, energy, recovery, stress relief, weight management, mental sharpness, and overall health.\nTo provide DNA Designed Precision Nutrition™ for the brain (which manages all the body’s functions), we introduced the patented GARS gene test. The GARS test is the ideal tool to evaluate or assess the potential risk (low, med or high) for engaging in potentially unhealthy excessive reward-seeking, self-gratifying behaviors. Results of the GARS test will indicate which patented RestoreGen nutrigenomic formula should be taken with the patented Brain Reward to optimize the gene expression that rebalances the synthesis, transport, reception, and reuptake of neurotransmitters specific to the patient’s brain. It is beneficial for everyone to have the GARS gene test done.\nThionExtra doesn’t yet have published clinical research on the finished product. However, in compliance with the highest scientific standards, the ThionExtra formula relies on science-based ingredients to achieve extraordinary results. It is a wonderfully effective antioxidant and immune booster, significantly promoting glutathione and SOD functions.\nI want to thank you for taking the time to review the merits of our products.

Not only do they want to be acne free, but they want their skin to be tight and young looking as well. With that being said, in order to achieve these results, most people have to use products to make it happen.\nThere are a lot of products on the market that promise to make skin look and feel great, but they can’t all be accurate. Some have very different ingredients, and the truth is that different skin responds differently to different products. This is where Exposed comes in.\nWith exposed skin care acne treatment consumers have the opportunity to try a product that is targeted for multiple skin types, as well as working on different fronts for the skin. The inclusion of industry standards, such as benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, ensures that bacteria is killed and that pores are unclogged to allow for clear and beautiful skin. However, it’s the less conventional ingredients that really helps this product to stand out.\nFor example, it includes Tea Tree Oil. This has been used for thousands of years in Asian cultures to repair the skin and make it look younger. Also included is Licorice Root, which is another long-time remedy. This one helps reduce redness of the skin and evens out the skin tone. When using chemicals to treat acne, having ingredients that can cool and sooth the skin is a must.\nHowever, there are those that worry that this type of product won’t work for their skin. This is where exposed skin care reviews will be important. Reading through the reviews offered by those that have already tested a product can be very beneficial for that are unsure of whether or not it will be right for them. There are some revealing reviews at http://www.enfish.com/acne-treatment-reviews/exposed-skin-care-reviews for those that want to see how this type of product works for themselves.\nThe interesting thing about these exposed acne treatment reviews is that there are links to YouTube videos as well. This is an excellent resource for those that like to see real evidence of how a product works, rather than just taking the word of a stranger.\nIn addition to reviews, a good guarantee is helpful as well. Exposed offers a money back guarantee that consumers will get their money back if they don’t get better results than they did with other major brands on the market, including Proactiv and Max Clarity. This should help ease any concerns for those that are leery about testing a new product.\nFinally, there are the coupons. With significant discounts, a consumer can purchase Exposed at a much lower than normal price, reducing the concerns about failure even further.\nWith a money back guarantee, and coupons that make it possible for you to reduce your immediate out of pocket expenses, maybe it’s time for you to consider Exposed. If you’re suffering from skin issues, and you’re tired of throwing away your money, it may be time to try something new.", "domain": "health"}

This procedure is crucial for individuals dealing with alcohol addiction or reliance. Detoxification is the initial step in the direction of recovery as well as can differ in period depending on numerous variables. In this short article, we will discover the detoxification procedure, the length of time it requires to detox from alcohol, and what to expect throughout this crucial phase of recovery.\nUnderstanding Alcohol Cleansing\nAlcohol detoxing is the body’s way of getting rid of alcohol and its byproducts from the system. When a private consumes alcohol in excessive amounts or for extended durations, the body becomes dependent on the material. This reliance produces a physical and mental reliance on alcohol, making it challenging to quit without experiencing withdrawal symptoms.\nThroughout detox, the body adapts to working without alcohol. This procedure can be uncomfortable and potentially harmful, as withdrawal symptoms can vary from mild to serious, relying on the person’s level of dependency. Detoxification is usually performed under medical supervision to guarantee the security of the private and to give needed assistance.\nIt is important to keep in mind that cleansing alone does not guarantee recuperation from alcohol addiction. Detox is just the initial action, and individuals must look for comprehensive treatment, such as treatment or therapy, to address the underlying sources of their alcohol dependence.\nElements Impacting the Period of Alcohol Detoxification\nThe size of time it requires to detox from alcohol can vary widely amongst people. A number of aspects affect the duration, consisting of:\n- Severity of alcohol addiction: The a lot more serious the addiction, the longer the detoxification procedure might take.\n- Length of alcohol use: Extended alcohol usage can lead to a much more extensive detoxification duration.\n- Person’s total health: The general wellness as well as well-being of an individual can influence the detoxification timeline.\n- Metabolism: The price at which the body procedures alcohol can differ from person to person, impacting the period of detoxification.\n- Visibility of co-occurring disorders: People with other mental health and wellness problems may call for additional time for detoxification.\nIt is important to seek advice from a healthcare professional for an individualized analysis of the anticipated period of alcohol detox.\nTimeline of Alcohol Detox\nWhile the timeline of alcohol detoxification can differ from person to person, a general guideline of the phases and also period of cleansing can be valuable. It is important to keep in mind that these timelines are approximate as well as can vary depending on individual situations.\nPhase 1: 6-24 hrs\nThe initial stage of alcohol detoxification commonly starts within six to twenty-four hrs after the last beverage. During this phase, individuals might experience moderate withdrawal signs and symptoms such as migraines, stress and anxiety, and nausea or vomiting.\nMedical supervision is critical throughout this phase to handle any pain and screen important indicators. In some cases, medicines might be administered to reduce signs as well as make sure the safety and security of the individual.\nStage 2: 24-72 hours\nBetween twenty-four and also seventy-two hours right into detox, withdrawal signs may increase. This stage is frequently defined by increased heart price, hypertension, as well as potentially serious signs and symptoms such as seizures or hallucinations in some cases.\nDoctor carefully monitor people during this stage and offer essential treatments to handle signs and symptoms as well as keep their security. Medications may be administered to relieve the intensity of withdrawal signs and symptoms.\nStage 3: 72+ hours\nThe third phase of alcohol detox can happen seventy-two hours or more after the last drink. Throughout this stage, withdrawal signs and symptoms might gradually diminish, although individuals may still experience lingering impacts such as sleep problems, mood swings, as well as desires for alcohol.\nContinuous medical support as well as therapy are important during this phase to address the mental elements of addiction and provide the essential tools for long-lasting sobriety.\nLooking For Expert Assistance\nProvided the potential dangers as well as intricacies of alcohol detoxification, it is very recommended to look for specialist support and also clinical guidance during the procedure.

It also stimulates your central nervous system to make it completely active for any duty that you want to do. Similar to amphetamine as well, it also has the ability to lose your appetite.\nSince it has the capability of losing one’s appetite, most use phentermine whenever they undergo a strict diet where they need to suppress their appetite in order to prevent themselves from eating too much. Phentermine’s effectiveness in helping its users take a diet has reached the point where some even use this to treat obesity in order to improve their lifestyle.\nAn Important Reminder\nSo if you want to know what is phentermine even further, then be sure to take note of the following reminders as well:\n- Do not use phentermine when pregnant.\n- Never use it when breastfeeding a baby as well.\n- It should never be used by patients suffering from:\n- Heart disease or other heart problems.\n- High blood pressure.\n- Drug abuse, or those with a history of it.\n- Kidney disease.\n- Do not use it if you easily get agitated or nervous.\n- It causes violent drug interaction with diet pills and certain medicines such as MAO inhibitors.\n- Serious side effects may happen if you take phentermine, but took a MAO inhibitor over the past 2 weeks.\nIt’s also best if you ask your doctor when to take phentermine to determine the right dosage and the right timing when using it. Over dosage to this compound may cause serious side effects that may harm your body permanently. It’s best to seek professional help at all times if you’re planning to take this in order to get the maximum benefits out of it, and not just as a means to keep you safe.", "domain": "health"}

It was also critical to actualize the Ascend brand visually and experientially, a fundamental strength of the weetu methodology.\nThe design strategy was to execute the space in phases, so as to not disrupt the continuation of business. The general training areas, locker and shower rooms, and pilates and yoga studios are now completed. Future phases will emphasize hospitality features including the reception and waiting areas with custom designed black plexiglass back-lit signage wall, reception desk and ceiling canopy.\nWeetu utilized affordable and sustainable materials such as bamboo and recycled rubber flooring, contrasted with polished brand elements such as translucent and opaque black plexiglass, LED tubular lighting and crisp, white tiles and solid surfaces.\nThis approach resulted in the ability for Ascend to successfully provide curated experiences to help clients meet their personal health and fitness goals now and for years to come.", "domain": "health"}

Walk around your local high htreet and you’ll see people vaping, products in grocery stores, petrol stations and an ever-increasing number of Vape specialist stores opening their doors.\nThe UK market has already reached £1bn and is estimated to more than double, exceeding £2bn by 2020. It’s the fastest growing industry in the country with the UK boasting one of the largest market sizes across the globe behind the United States. The market is fragmented unlike tobacco, with the ability to buy products online and from abroad.\nThe rise of vaping is reflected by the continuous innovation in the marketplace which is responding to evolving consumer demand. People are vaping as an alternative to smoking, for health reasons and even as a hobby. There are a number of different vaping products and a whole host of flavours for people to choose from.\nESA visited the Vape Expo at the NEC Birmingham to find out more about the industry and the people driving it. An eye-opening exhibition over 3 days for both the consumer and retailers with 200+ companies exhibiting, mainly manufacturers and distributors promoting well-known brands including Blu, Innokin and an array of own brands.\nProducts ranged from simple vaping of 3/6mg e-liquids in different flavours to 60mg nicotine salt-based products for the consumer who prefers a higher nicotine content. IQOS presented a tobacco based product that heats tobacco rather than burning it eradicating the typical chemicals associated with smoking yet still giving consumers the smoking experience.\nAmongst all the nicotine-based products, CBD (Cannabidiol) derived from Hemp (Cannabis sativa) was the most interesting; Cannabis being a hot topic in the press with recent UK law changes to legalise the prescription of medical cannabis oil. CBD manufacturers clearly stated these were not for medical use and instead are lifestyle supplements aiming to complement general health and well-being.\nWhat's striking is that there seemed to be a vape product for everybody’s needs and the market was far from the early days of e-cigarettes that resemble a cigarette. It’s a market to keep a close eye in the coming year as it continues to grow whilst little UK regulation is holding it back.\nFor access to a full summary of our findings and further information about how ESA Retail can help you understand the discount channel, please call 01727 847572 or email email@example.com.", "domain": "health"}

Obsessions are recurrent, intrusive, and distressful thoughts. These thoughts can pop into the mind suddenly and usually produce doubt and fear.\nCommon obsessions include, but are not excluded to:\n- Worry about germs, contamination, and dirt\n- Fear of inadvertently harming another person, or fear of something bad happening\n- Unrealistic concern about order, arrangement, or symmetry\n- Worry about discarding useless possessions\nCompulsions are behaviors that are repetitive and are often performed in order to relieve the anxiety associated with the obsessive thoughts. They are performed to relieve doubt, or are meant to prevent bad things from happening. Not only are compulsions observable behaviors, but they also may include specific mental activity.\nCommon compulsions include, but are not excluded to:\n- Excessive hand washing or cleaning\n- Repeated checking, e.g. whether the stove is turned off or whether the doors are locked\n- Counting objects over and over again\n- Arranging and ordering objects\n- Hoarding and saving useless objects\nNot all worries and repetitive behaviors represent an illness. In fact, they may be helpful in most cases. For example, hand washing and proper cleaning is important regarding our health, and keeping doors locked is necessary for safety and protecting property. In addition, proper organization and planning can assist us avoiding errors and in succeeding our goals. Therefore, if we view these symptoms on a continuum, professional help is recommended only when these symptoms become excessive, are unrealistic, create significant distress, or interfere with daily functioning, school, jobs, or relationships.\nBehaviors such as gambling, abusing alcohol/drugs, and excessive shopping are often referred to as “compulsive”. However, these activities are different than the ones associated with OCD. Gambling, using drugs, or shopping provide a certain level of pleasure. However, OCD compulsions are not inherently pleasurable. Instead, the compulsions may be experienced as repulsive or senseless, and are only performed to relieve the fear and doubt stemming from the obsessions.\nHow common is OCD?\nOCD was once thought to be a rare condition. However, in the United States, 1 in 50 adults currently suffers from OCD, and five million people at any time are experiencing obsessive compulsive symptoms. Most individuals usually begin exhibiting OCD in adolescence or early adulthood. With appropriate treatment, symptoms can often be managed successfully.\nWhat treatment is available?\nCognitive behavioral psychotherapy is often recommended for those with OCD.\nThe behavioral focus of this treatment helps people learn how to change their thoughts and feelings by first changing their behavior. This treatment teaches people how to decrease their anxiety by repeated exposures to the feared situations, while refraining from the compulsive behaviors. Cognitive therapy helps people alter their style of thinking in order to assess situations more realistically.\nMedications have been developed that can alleviate symptoms of OCD. The medications that are most effective for treating OCD are in a group called Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI). The use of medication may be based on the severity of the symptoms.\nPsychotherapy has been found to produce a 50%-80% reduction in symptoms and symptom relief is often long lasting. Fewer than 20% of those treated with medication alone obtain complete symptom relief. A combination of psychotherapy and medication is usually the most effective treatment. Each person may have different needs and display a unique set of symptoms that requires a personalized treatment plan. Before any decisions can be made about appropriate treatment, a thorough evaluation by a mental health professional is recommended.

I’m Pat McClendon\nWhat I Do – Help Nurse Leaders Help Nurses … Thrive in Nursing\nWhat I Know – Authentic Caring Connections Keep Nurses in Nursing\nAuthentic caring connections happen with patients, leaders, fellow nurses, and ….\nHow I got here – My Story\nIf you are like me, you think that being able to help nurses cultivate authentic caring is out of reach. For years, I thought the only way to impact caring was to roll out a comprehensive professional practice model based in caring science.\nAnd then something happened. I woke to the reality that the healthcare industry is not going to change anytime soon. I realized that if I wanted authentic caring to be a more prominent part of my nursing organization, then I needed to start talking about it.\nI started by talking with nurses. The more conversations I had—however momentary— the more I knew that I needed to keep talking. Nurses responded in meaningful and refreshing ways that brought connection within and between us in the moment.\nThese conversations can create a new narrative of mutual authenticity and caring literacy in our daily work environments, and can open doors to the future.\nWe Work in a World Where …\nAuthentic caring practices are hard for nurses to sustain in our current work environments … for all the reasons we know too well.\nNurses soldier on trying to capture those illusive authentic connections with patients while doing their nursing jobs … Until they don’t.\nAttrition is Rising\n- Up to 40% of new nurses – 1-3 years – are thinking about leaving nursing\n- And nurse managers are in even greater jeopardy to leave (up to 70%)\n- The stronger a nurse’s capacity for authentic caring connections, the less burnout, caring fatigue, attrition\n- The more nurse leaders are connected with their authentic selves—and less with their organizational selves— the less nurse leader despair and feelings of ‘never being enough’\nHealthcare is not going to change. But We Nurse Leaders Can.\nHow? Engage with Nurses in Conversations that Cultivate our Authentic Selves\nWhere It Starts …\nWhat we talk about matters and impacts nurses. This is a reality for the 400,000 nurse leaders whose nurse followers are 3 million strong in the US.\n- Authentic Caring requires cultivation. Nurses can’t do this alone.\n- Nurse leaders have a unique voice & position that can help nurses.\n- How to help nurses cultivate their caring consciousness seems like a mystery… But there’s no mystery.\n- Authentic connections between nurse leaders and nurses … through momentary, routine conversations help cultivate caring consciousness for both.\n- It does not take a lot of time for nurse leaders to do or learn.\n- These connections with nurses feel good – fill the soul – keep us going.\nAuthentic caring certainly exists today but not at the frequency or systemic level it could if it was seen as a realistic and active part of our work environments.\nIf we nurse leaders want nurses to focus on self-caring and authentic caring connections, then we must focus on authentic caring connections with nurses.\nNurse leaders in organizations can help nurses acknowledge the positive impact of their work by giving voice and visibility to everyday authentic connections.\nHow It Carries Forward …\n- You will immediately feel resilience (despite the relentless challenges of the job)\n- You will meaningfully impact the Nurses around you\nGETTING REAL ABOUT CARING\nWhat I Discovered About Authentic Caring As A Nurse Leader\nand One Step Forward\nMAKING CARING REAL — a place to learn how to help nurses thrive in nursing … grounded in my leadership experiences and in caring science and language\nI’m Pat McClendon — a Nurse Leader, Author, Speaker, Caritas Coach\n——– Weekly Blog, Book, Public Speaking, Coaching ———\nI have been a nurse and leader from the bedside to a chief nursing officer.\nI founded Making Caring Real in 2016.

A functional examination includes the ability to move in the orbit and the reaction of the student to light and accommodation.\nThe function of the eye may be tested in numerous ways. The patient may be asked to identify illuminated letter or objects of differing sizes on what is called the Snellen chart.\nAlternatively, the assessment of the structural part of the eye may be made in a number of methods. Tension within the eyeball is determined by a \"tonometer.\" In specific diseases, especially in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased significantly.\nIt ought to be well kept in mind that a patient with an eye problem might have other problems. Typically other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a consequence. The look of the eye can notify the client and the doctor to difficulties in some disruptions of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms present themselves.\nOne's reliance on sight is emphasized when one faces a possible or momentary long-term loss of this important sense. When corrective steps are sought, specific types of vision correction such as contact lenses or spectacles are recommended.\nOn the other hand, some people are troubled with that they have actually some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.\nFor this reason, advanced surgical operations were established to motivate reduced usage of contact lenses or glasses. Among which is the now popular LASIK eye surgical treatment.\nEssentially, LASIK eye surgical treatment is the brief term for \"Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis.\" Like its tangible counterpart, LASIK eye surgery is another kind of vision correction. The only difference is that with this kind of surgical treatment, one's vision is fixed permanently.\nWith LASIK eye surgery, the refractive errors in the cornea are completely transformed. This can be done using an \"excimer laser.\"\nThe main purpose of this surgical treatment is to create a threadlike, rounded \"flap\" in the cornea using a blade referred to as \"microkeratome.\" In a series of unfolding that site and laser processing, the cornea is finally reformed, permitting much better the eye to direct more light into the retina.\nAppeal vs. Disadvantages\nAmidst the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgical treatment, there are still disadvantages that people should understand. Probably, the primary reason this type of eye surgical treatment has actually become well accepted this website is since the majority of its cases had succeeded.\nIn spite of its success, there are still some downsides. Here is the list:\n1. It is an operation applied to the most delicate part of the eye\nDue to the fact that LASIK eye surgery includes the operation of the retina, which is among the most delicate portions of the eye, the majority of people say that the operation can be extremely dangerous.\nSimply puts, a basic error could practically trigger an person's lifetime blindness. It is important to consider numerous elements before deciding whether LASIK eye surgery is the right corrective step one has to undergo.\n2. It is not a ideal treatment\nLASIK eye surgery might fix your vision however it does not always suggest that it can give you a perfect vision. Even if statistical reports show that 70% of the patients may have 20/20 vision, this does not always mean they have perfect vision too.\nProvided all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK might not constantly be the perfect eye surgery the way many people view it\nConversely, the assessment of the structural part of the eye might be made in a number of methods. It needs to be well remembered that a patient with over here an eye issue might have other issues. Typically other physical conditions are primary and impact the eye as a repercussion. The appearance of the eye can signal the physician and the patient to troubles in some disruptions of other parts of the body even before other symptoms present themselves.\nLike its concrete equivalent, LASIK eye surgery is another type of vision correction.", "domain": "health"}

With all these “tricks” thrown at trying to market a “different” creatine – little has actually improved upon the effects of regular creatine monohydrate.\nThe problem is, companies are trying too hard to make their creatine different instead of developing a creatine that is actually better.\nAs you may or may not know, creatine monohydrate will not fully dissolve in liquid. That’s why you always get that gritty sand at the bottom of the glass. Look at it this way, if it falls like sand to the bottom of your glass, what does it do in your stomach? Maybe that explains why so many complain of stomach discomfort when using regular creatine monohydrate Regular creatine monohydrate sits in the gut longer. This causes discomfort to many users. AST’s Micronized Creatine goes into solution better and leaves the gut quicker causing no stomach upset.\nNew Micronized Creatine\nWith AST’s constant commitment to improve the effectiveness of sports supplementation, we have developed a new creatine supplement that incorporates state-of-the-art particle micronizing technology (PMT™).\nThis technology sets a new standard for creatine monohydrate supplementation by actually producing creatine “micro-particles” that are 20 times smaller than regular creatine powder. Micronizing creatine produces a more pure creatine. By increasing the total processing steps and purification procedures, AST’s Micronized Creatine yields a finished product substantially more pure.\nThese smaller particles combine to form a total surface area 2000% greater than regular creatine monohydrate.

The Tria Laser Precision works in the same way as professional laser hair removal. It treats the hair follicle, not just the hair, giving you permanent hair reduction after a series of treatments. This machine is considered as one of the best laser hair removal device for travel use.\nHOW DOES LASER HAIR REMOVAL WORK?\nThe Tria Laser Precision deactivates the follicles in your skin that produce hair. It\nemits a pulse of laser light, which heats up the dark pigment inside the hair and\ndeactivates the hair follicle. That’s why it can deliver permanent results and works\nonly on naturally brown or black hair. To be most effective, the Tria Laser Precision needs to treat each hair follicle during its active growth period. Hair grows in cycles, so multiple treatments are necessary. For best results, treat every two weeks for up to 3 months or until you are satisfied with the amount of hair reduction.\nWHAT THE TRIA LASER PRECISION IS USED FOR (INDICATIONS)\nThe Tria Hair Removal Laser Precision is used to remove unwanted hair. It is an over-the-counter system intended for adjunctive use with shaving for hair removal sustained with periodic treatments. It is also intended for permanent reduction in hair regrowth defined as long-term, stable reduction in the number of hairs regrowing when measured out to 6, 9 and 12 months after the completion of the treatment regimen. It is intended for use only on light to medium skin tones (see the\nSkin Tone Chart on the inside front cover) and naturally brown or black hair. It will not work on white, grey, blonde, or red hair.\nWHO SHOULD NOT USE THE TRIA LASER PRECISION (CONTRAINDICATIONS)\nDO NOT USE the Tria Laser Precision if your skin tone matches one listed as\n“Not Safe” on the Skin Tone Chart on the inside front cover of this booklet.\nIf you use the Tria Laser Precision on skin “Not Safe” for treatment, the skin may\nabsorb too much laser light and be injured (burned, discolored, or scarred).\nPLEASE NOTE: The skin sensor is a safety feature that unlocks the Tria Laser\nPrecision. If it is not safe for you to use the Tria Laser Precision, you won’t be\nable to unlock it with the skin sensor.\nDO NOT USE the Tria Laser Precision if you are under the age of 18 or use it on anyone else under the age of 18. The use of the Tria Laser Precision on or by children has not been studied and could result in serious injury.\nDO NOT USE the Tria Laser Precision if you have a lighter hair color, such as blonde, white, red or grey. In order for the laser to work, you must have naturally dark hair where you are treating. Lighter hair pigments will not absorb enough of the laser's energy to disable the hair follicle.\nBENEFITS AND RISKS\nA medically supervised clinical study has shown that the Tria Laser Precision\nis safe and works when used as directed. Seventy-nine (79) users performed a\n6-week course of treatment (3 treatments) and all side effects were observed. The number of hairs at each treatment site was counted before each treatment and at 1, 2, 3, 6, and 12 months after the last treatment. No additional treatments were performed after the third treatment.\nWhen used as directed, the Tria Laser Precision gives you permanent results.\nThe results vary from person to person and depend on which body area is\ntreated and how closely treatment instructions are followed. The clinical study demonstrated the following benefits:\n• 61% average reduction in hair count 3 weeks after the first treatment\n• 70% average reduction in hair count 3 weeks after the second treatment\n• 60% average reduction in hair count 1 month after the third treatment\n• 6% average reduction in hair count 3 months after the third treatment\n• 33% average reduction in hair count 12 months following the third treatment\nIn the study, 69 of 79 users (87%) reported finer hair at 1 month after the last treatment than before any treatment. And 55 of 79 users (70%) reported lighter hair at 1 month after the last treatment than before any treatment. These results were obtained with only 3 treatments. For best results, treat every 2 weeks for 3 months or until you are satisfied with the amount of hair reduction.\nIt is important to use the Tria Laser Precision properly. Make sure that you understand and follow all warnings. The skin sensor will prevent use of the device on contraindicated skin types. If you use the Tria Laser Precision as directed, the risks are low:\n• In the clinical study, almost all users reported mild to moderate pain or discomfort during their first treatment, with a reduction in sensitivity reported in their later treatments. This is normal. You may feel warmth, burning, tingling or itching; some users described feeling the same level of discomfort as when a rubber band snaps against the skin. If the pain is too intense or persists after a treatment, stop using the Tria Laser Precision and check with your doctor before using it again.\nYour skin may become red right after treatment or within 24 hours. This redness generally clears up within a few hours. See your doctor if the redness does not go away within 2-3 days.\n• In rare cases, some users may see an increase in the number of hairs in the treated area after the initial treatment. If this increase persists over several treatments, stop using the Tria Laser Precision and see your doctor. The following symptoms affected no users in the clinical study (0 out of 88) but have been reported with other hair removal lasers:\n• Skin swelling, especially around the hair follicle. If the swelling doesn’t go away\nwithin 2-3 days, stop using the Tria Laser Precision and see your doctor.\n• Temporary or permanent skin discoloration. If your skin color changes, stop using the Tria Laser Precision and see your doctor.\n• Blisters. This is very unlikely for people with a light or medium skin tone. If you\ndo develop a blister, stop using the Tria Laser Precision and don’t let the blister\nbecome infected. Consult your doctor if needed.", "domain": "health"}

The different Lasik centers audio anywhere from impersonal to something just like Dr. Monster's laboratory, and also the Lasik procedure itself sounds, well, surreal. It feels like the only people that would obtain Lasik are those with such negative vision that they can not get out of bed without their glasses on.\nWell, allow me offer you my story of how I chose Lasik. For me, Lasik was not necessary, yet I figured would streamline my life. For these reasons, Lasik looked really appealing.\nThe paragraph above might make you think I am a \"manly man\" (hope so, believe so!), so why in the world would certainly I hesitate of a little Lasik scalpel? OK, technically Lasik does NOT use a scalpel yet rather a \"microkeratome blade\", but it is still a sharp object approaching my eye as component of the Lasik procedure. Nowadays Lasik physicians could obtain a laser to reduce the flap in the eye, which is greater than a little far better compared to a sharp blade. Yet anyway, I had a lot of spills in my life to think any sharp item nearing my eye was a smart idea, even under the experienced hands of a Lasik physician.\nAfter speaking with 3 (yes, three!) independent Lasik medical professionals, they each assured me that a 28 year old person in virtually best wellness (OK, I see this exaggerate a little bit) with moderate nearsightedness was among the absolute best candidates for an effective Lasik treatment. I chose to arrange my Lasik procedure with the one that had the most effective track record, and coincidentally took one of the most time to explain every little thing about Lasik to me.\nThe Lasik surgical procedure was not uncomfortable, though I accepted virtually whatever they provided to offer me comfort, including a teddy and also a sedative bear. (I also went back to take a photo of me and the Lasik reassuring teddy bear.) The only unusual point I keep in mind concerning the Lasik treatment this article itself was a smell, something vaguely like hair burning. I mean that was my eye. I am sort of grateful they really did not tell me to expect that before the Lasik procedure, I am uncertain I would have entered.\nAfter a couple of years, I think I was an almost best Lasik customer, as my eyes currently have 20/20 vision as well as have remained stable long after the Lasik procedure. I claim that if you are a great candidate for a Lasik vision modification treatment, order that teddy bear as well as take place in.\nIf you take the time to review any of the message boards or conversation spaces on the Internet regarding Lasik surgical procedure, you will certainly question just how anybody could obtain the courage to arrange a Lasik treatment, and also why on planet they would certainly desire it. The different Lasik centers audio anywhere from impersonal to something similar to Dr. Frankenstein's lab, as well as the Lasik procedure itself sounds, well, unique. OK, practically Lasik does NOT make use of a scalpel yet instead a \"microkeratome blade\", but it is still a sharp object approaching my eye as component of the Lasik treatment. I determined to schedule my Lasik procedure with the one that had the ideal track document, as well as coincidentally took the most time to clarify whatever about Lasik to me.", "domain": "health"}

This is the big question about spas! Let's list the advantages and disadvantages of both positions:\nAdvantages: keeps the spa sheltered and protected from sudden temperature changes and pollution, easier to maintain water, longer use, more private\nDisadvantages: You need a place with enough room that can support its weight. Bear in mind that a spa produces moisture and will need access to a drain.\nAdvantages: more pleasant environment, no humidity and splash problems, more space\nDisadvantages: water maintenance is more demanding as it is subject to many external factors, finding a location that can accommodate the spa, positioning it well (with respect to sunlight, leaves, being overlooked by neighbors, etc.)\nFind the right spa for you\nIt is necessary to study your project, understand your needs and your future use to find the best solutions, the best model and the best advice.\nOur SolidPool network has spa experts to help you purchase and maintain the right model for your needs and use.\nMaintaining your spa\nA spa that meets your needs is a spa that is maintained!

On the cost side, the New England Healthcare Institute estimated that medication non-adherence is responsible for $290 billion in “otherwise avoidable medical spending” in the US alone each year. (1)\nOn the pharmaceutical revenue side, however, the impact of medication nonadherence had yet to be accurately quantified. The market assumption relied upon to date, and quoted extensively, has been $30 billion globally, (2,3) which we felt was a gross underestimate-prompting our analysis of true costs of nonadherence to pharma.\nAccording to our analysis, the US pharmaceutical industry alone forfeits an estimated $250 billion annually in potential revenue due to medication non-adherence. This represents 59% of the $425 billion in total US pharmaceutical revenue in 2015 and 37% of the $508 billion US annual total potential revenue.\nExtrapolated to the global pharmaceutical market, revenue forfeiture is estimated to be $637 billion, or 59% of the $1.1 trillion in total global pharmaceutical revenue in 2015 and 37% of the $1,520 billion global annual total potential revenue.\nThere are a wide diversity of reasons as to why a patient will fail to take a medication. In any discussion of the causes of nonadherence, however, it is important to consider the form of nonadherence at hand.\nFor example, simple forgetfulness is certainly the most common reason that an otherwise diligent patient will accidentally miss a dose here and there. Although a common focus of adherence interventions, these transient gaps in day-to-day compliance are unlikely to lead to poor outcomes or increased healthcare spending for most chronic conditions.\nThe more significant forms of nonadherence-especially as they relate to poor outcomes and expenditure-are primary nonadherence (failure to fill at all) and non-persistence (failure to continue to refill). For these forms of nonadherence, simple forgetfulness does not make sense as a root cause. In these cases, out-of-pocket cost is often cited as a driver, which does make particular sense in the low-income population and in the case of very high co-pays.\nHowever, for the average population with average co-pays, cost is less likely to be a major driver. A well-publicized trial of free medications for patients leaving the hospital after a heart attack, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, achieved a relatively small uptick in adherence: an increase of 4-6 percentage points in patients who received their medications for free (over the control group, which demonstrated adherence rates between 36-49%). (4)\nAs further evidence that cost is a lesser factor than often believed, countries with universal healthcare and little to no co-pays have similar adherence rates as the US. In a 2008 study published in the Journal of Hypertension, adherence rates were nearly identical for participants age 65+ in the U.S., Canada and the Netherlands. (5) Another study published in the European Journal of Hospital Pharmacy notes that up to 50% of medicines in England aren’t taken as intended, paralleling U.S. adherence rates. (6) Finally, the NHS notes that 30 to 50 percent of prescribed medications are not taken as recommended in England. (7)\nIn some cases, primary nonadherence (failure to fill at all) can be attributed to a fear of side effects or an inability to properly weigh the risks of the condition versus the risks of the medication. This can also be considered to be a deficit in patient education.\nActual side effects, of course, can also loom large as a cause of non-persistence, particularly for more toxic medications. In some cases, patients quit over relatively minor side effects that would have been transient (again pointing toward a deficit in patient education).\nIn other cases a drug is stopped at the request of the physician, in which case a patient should not be “counted” as nonadherent. Unfortunately, in studies based on simple pharmacy claims, disentangling true nonadherence is typically impossible.\nA major cause of nonadherence that is increasingly recognized as contributory across all conditions and demographics is more of a motivational factor. In a wide diversity of cases, human psychology is largely the culprit, and specifically “present bias,” or the preference for short-term rewards over longer-term gains. This is particularly problematic in the case of asymptomatic conditions, for which the payoffs may be years down the line in the form of decreasing a risk for heart attack or stroke.\nThis is the same psychological shortcoming that makes it difficult for people to save for retirement.\nWith this insight, it becomes clear that simple reminders, cost reductions, and even education are insufficient to motivate patients towards higher levels of adherence. It requires interventions with a greater understanding of human psychology, a leveraging of short-term rewards, and education specifically tailored toward an internalization of the longer-term payoffs.\nWhile adherence represents the single greatest financial opportunity for the pharmaceutical industry, no company has yet approached it with an organized, well-funded approach led by the C-suite. Rather, efforts have largely been left to brand and innovation teams who operate on a tactical and not strategic level, resulting in under-funded programs that lack the capacity for enterprise-level scale and impact.\nPharma has long felt that its most important customer is the physician who writes the script, not the patient who takes the medication. Because of this bias, the industry is late to the party in terms of scaling engagement to increase medication adherence, which, by the way, is the only way a patient can receive the tremendous health benefits offered by the medication.\nIncreasing revenues by improving medication adherence makes sense. A dollar in revenue from increased drug utilization represents one of the highest margin dollars pharma can generate. Because the medication is already FDA approved, there are no technical, regulatory or clinical risks. And because the initial script has already been written, there are no marketing costs to bear. The only costs are the cost of goods and the adherence program.\nFor example: if a company that loses $40 billion a year to nonadherence could recoup just 10% of that amount ($4 billion) at a maximum cost of $2.4 billion ($1.6 billion for the enterprise adherence initiative; $400 million for the cost of goods), it would generate $1.6 billion in revenue to the bottom line at 40% operating margins. That’s nearly twice the average for a large cap pharmaceutical company.\nSome of the world’s largest pharmaceutical brands, including Humira, have reported significant success in developing impactful adherence programs. The Humira patient support program is successful because it originated from a corporate commitment to patient support across all brand efforts. This support has been consistent across the various teams that manage the multiple indications for the drug, with budgets being supported for multiple years, above-brand teams being stable and supported from senior executives, and having the capacity to try and learn without failures affecting the whole patient support continuum.\nIt is this type of high-level, consistent, senior support that has distinguished the broad-based Humira patient support program from others that are more tactical, less stable from a support and budget perspective, and lack cross-enterprise and senior support sufficient to create lasting benefits for the brand and the patients it serves.\nTrue and measurable success in improving adherence has been reported for HealthPrize-powered programs as well. A recent pilot program for medication for a serious respiratory condition, for example, resulted in an average increase of 2.8 prescription fills per person for the 9-month program.\nIt is now time to take the lessons learned from these programs in order to scale adherence across the enterprise. With a true enterprise-level approach, pharma will be able to generate more and higher margin revenues, improve outcomes and lower costs to the healthcare system – the pharmaceutical triple aim.\n(1) New England Healthcare Institute, Thinking Outside the Pillbox: A System-wide Approach to Improving Patient Medication Adherence for Chronic Disease.

Physical therapists help children increase strength, flexibility, balance, endurance and coordination so that they can achieve their highest level of functional independence\nOccupational Therapy helps children improve their ability to perform activities of daily living and self-help skills such as grooming, bathing, dressing and feeding so that they can fully participate in home, school and community activities. Occupational Therapists work on developing fine motor coordination, handwriting, visual motor function, core and upper body strength and sensory processing and regulation.\nSpeech Language Pathologists work with children to improve comprehension and communication, both verbally and non-verbally. Speech Therapy focuses on the development of expressive and receptive language skills, articulation, fluency, social skills and oral motor strength.\nWe treat children with a variety of diagnosis including but not limited to:\nSensory Processing Disorder\nGross Motor Delay\nFine Motor Delay\nStroke/ Stroke in utero\nTraumatic Brain Injury\nSpinal muscular atrophy\nOther genetic syndromes\nFragile X syndrome\nOther seizure disorders\nEquine Assisted Therapy brings all forms of Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapy together where a therapist uses the characteristic movements of a horse to provide carefully graded motor and sensory input. A foundation is established to improve neurological function and sensory processing. This can be generalized to a wide range of daily activities. Unlike therapeutic horseback riding (where specific riding skill are taught), the movement of the horse is a means to assist in achieving a goal by utilizing the horse as a treatment strategy\nTherapeutic riding or adaptive/assisted riding focus on increasing individual riding skills while gaining therapeutic benefit. Each program is individually designed for children and adults with special needs who are willing to learn the attributes of horseback riding along with other skills such as grooming and tacking the horse and learning the anatomy and care of our equine companions. The instructor may include special exercises and games while on horseback as part of a motor skills planning and strengthening program. In addition, the session will include improving cognitive abilities by using memorization and task preparation. The movement of the horse can help core and muscle support, balance, coordination and gravitational awareness.\nTherapeutic Horsemanship concentrates on all aspects of the essence between horse and human. Showing that the bond between the two can be an extremely powerful foundation of emotion, communication, setting boundaries, overcoming fears and trust. Every lesson is personalized with every individual’s unique requirements. Students will learn horse behavior, how to interact with the horse appropriately, and herd dynamics. We will utilize grooming techniques and ground activities to promote the benefits of gross and fine motor skills, sequential thought processing and increase confidence.\nBenefits of Riding and Horsemanship\nPhysical: The horse’s walk simulates the human walk and a rider is able to feel what a normal walking pattern feels like. The participant has to maintain their balance on the horse, which helps build stronger muscles throughout the body and improve posture. Fine and gross motor skills are enhanced when participating in both riding and horsemanship activities.\nPsychological: The horse can improve self-esteem and confidence, nurturing a positive self-image. Some may experience independence for the first time in their lives and self-reliance they can utilize in everyday life.\nBehavior: Working with a horse can improve concentration, focus and reduce hyperactivity by effectively calming emotional outbursts and reassuring appropriate behavior.\nCognitive: Riding and Horsemanship may increase the participant’s ability to follow directions, improve sequential thought processing, motor planning and memory recall.\nEmotional: Our programs provide the opportunity to bond with the horse, instructors and volunteers, which assists in developing trust, communication skills, confidence and expressive responses. As a team, we create an effective support system in an environment where people can learn and grow at their own pace.\nProper attire is required for all lessons. This consists of long pants and closed shoes/boots with heels. ASTM approved riding helmets are supplied. These programs are provided by qualified instructors with a focus on the personal needs and goals of the participant. PATH International (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International) certified instructors oversee the curriculum and all instruction.", "domain": "health"}

Although touch is the first sense to develop in the womb and seems straightforward when we think of babies – cuddling, kissing, holding – it can be measured in many ways (e.g., pressure, temperature, pain, movement) and can be positive or negative (e.g., a hug or a spank).\nAn intervention study out of Israel measured the long-term benefits of maternal touch in the NICU and several developmental outcomes. The intervention, called Kangaroo Care (KC), involved placing the baby between the mother’s breasts while still attached to the cardiorespiratory monitor, one hour per day for 14 days. The safety and benefit of this intervention to neuromaturation during the neonatal period and mother-infant bonding in early infancy is well supported.

Sunlight mills in through corridors of tree limbs and creates pockets of warmth on moss and stone. Water flows at a steady pace, creating an undertone that perfectly harmonizes with the gentle sway of branch and leaf. If a person rests in this green bastion, they will feel refreshed and centered. That’s because what they’re doing is something people have done to calm themselves since antiquity. Spending time in Portland Japanese Garden speaks to something deep within. You’re not visiting an attraction—you’re returning home.\nIt may feel like we have always lived in this world of steel, concrete, and gasoline, but the truth is that for 99.9% of humanity’s existence, we mostly lived among nature (Song et al., 2016). It was not even 250 years ago that we saw the start of the Industrial Revolution and a sea change in the arrangement of humankind, where we slowly dripped away from hither and yon into cities. It was only 13 years ago when, for the first time in human history, it was determined more of us lived in urban settings than rural (Ritchie & Roser, 2018). We evolved and determined our future in the wild and it will be millennia before this essential thread of our character is altered.\nIn 1982, Tomohide Akiyama, Director of the Japanese Forestry Agency, coined a term to describe the activity of spending time in a forest: shinrin-yoku, or “forest bathing” (Miyazaki, 2018). Shinrin-yoku is more than a kind thought, it is a rapidly developing field of research and increasingly recommended form of preventative care. In the time that has passed since Akiyama gave it a name, it has been established as a health program in Japan and inspired the foundation of associations around the world, including the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy here in the United States (Farkic et al., 2021). While there is more work to be done to fully understand how shinrin-yoku impacts human health, it does appear to be a balm for the mind and body.\nThere have been numerous experiments and field studies conducted and the results have been rosy. Forest bathing has been found to:\n- Help in the regulation of blood pressure (Wen et al., 2019)\n- Be beneficial to a person’s parasympathetic nervous system (sometimes called the rest and digest system), the toolkit our body uses to balance out the sympathetic nervous system that revs our adrenaline and heartbeat in times of stress. Shinrin-yoku in a forested area like Washington Park presses play on the rest and digest system, allowing the body to enter a state of relaxation (Farrow & Washburn, 2019).\n- Improve the number of natural killer cells, which protect against disease by killing virally infected cells (Yu et al., 2017).\nResearch indicates forest bathing also provides a defense against the pangs of anxiety, stress, depression, and other inflictions on one’s mind. In recognition of its potential to help, Japan has included it in its national health service as an intervention for mental health (Clarke et al., 2021). Shinrin-yoku seems to have a positive impact on post-traumatic stress disorder, has been observed to have benefits for those dealing with insomnia, and has improved the mood of people with unhealthy alcohol use (Antonelli et al., 2021). One study even did something as simple as studying facial expressions and found that people became happier by spending a few hours in the embrace of green (Wei et al., 2020). Such is the power of the forest that even video of it can induce some of the same physical reactions (Hansen et al., 2017).\nThere is no singular way to practice forest bathing, nor is there an exact amount of time prescribed. Some practitioners suggest that a single session last from two to four hours, but some research has demonstrated that even 15 minutes can have beneficial short-term effects on mental health (Antonelli et al., 2021). There are a range of activities within forest bathing including walking, standing, sitting, and deep breathing all while being mindful of one’s senses (Farrow & Washburn, 2019). Dr. Yoshifumi Miyazaki of Chiba University, among the world’s foremost experts on shinrin-yoku and an author of a popular book on the subject, suggests turning off your phone and engaging in shikan shoyou, which translates to “nothing but wandering along.” “Pay attention to any areas of stiffness or pain the body and consciously relax them,” Miyazaki writes. “Become aware of your present mental and emotional states…Pay attention to the experience of walking and keep your awareness engaged in this experience. Be aware of the beginning, the middle and the end of your stepping. Walk as silently as possible.”\nWill forest bathing in Portland Japanese Garden solve all your woes? No, but it can be your bulwark against the anxieties of today’s tumultuous times. As our chief curator, Sadafumi Uchiyama once expressed in an interview with The Dirt, “…We are a place, an occasion in time, to enable them to think and have conversation that otherwise may be harder to have elsewhere…Somehow the Garden brings emotional stability.” Join Portland Japanese Garden as a member and visit often—inner peace is here, in the green.\nAntonelli, M., Donelli, D., Carlone, L., Maggini, V., Firenzuoli, F., & Bedeschi, E.

This shift recognizes that true healing extends far beyond the physical body alone. “Beyond the Body: Holistic Approaches to Physical Rehabilitation” explores the transformative power of holistic approaches in the journey towards recovery and wellness. In this article, we’ll delve into three key aspects of this holistic approach: the mind-body connection in healing, the role of nutrition in recovery, and the integration of alternative therapies for comprehensive rehabilitation.\nMind-Body Connection in Healing\nThe mind-body connection is a concept that has gained increasing recognition in recent years. It posits that the mind and body are intricately linked and that one’s mental and emotional state can significantly impact physical health and healing. This idea is not new, as ancient healing practices like yoga and meditation have long acknowledged the importance of this connection.\nModern rehabilitation programs are now embracing the mind-body connection as a crucial component of recovery. Techniques such as mindfulness meditation, guided imagery, and biofeedback are being integrated into traditional physical therapy routines. These practices help patients manage pain, reduce stress, and enhance their overall sense of well-being, ultimately expediting the healing process.\nFurthermore, psychological support and counseling are increasingly offered alongside physical therapy to address the emotional and mental aspects of recovery. It’s becoming evident that addressing the mind’s role in healing is as vital as addressing the body’s physical ailments.\nNutrition and Recovery\nNutrition plays a pivotal role in the rehabilitation process, yet it is often overlooked. Proper nourishment provides the body with the essential building blocks it needs to repair and regenerate damaged tissues. Beyond the basic concept of providing the body with the right nutrients, a holistic approach to nutrition emphasizes the quality of food and its impact on overall well-being.\nIncorporating whole, unprocessed foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants can help reduce inflammation and support the body’s natural healing mechanisms. Nutritionists and dietitians work closely with rehabilitation teams to create personalized dietary plans that not only aid recovery but also promote long-term health.\nMoreover, some holistic approaches advocate for mindful eating practices, teaching patients to reconnect with their bodies and listen to hunger and fullness cues. This not only fosters a healthier relationship with food but also encourages a deeper awareness of one’s body during the rehabilitation process.\nIntegrating Alternative Therapies for Comprehensive Rehabilitation\nTraditional rehabilitation methods, while effective, may not address the diverse needs of every individual. Integrating alternative therapies into rehabilitation programs provides patients with a more comprehensive and personalized approach to healing.\nAlternative therapies such as acupuncture, chiropractic care, massage therapy, and herbal medicine are gaining recognition for their ability to enhance the rehabilitation process. These therapies can target specific issues, such as pain management, muscle tension, and joint mobility, that may not respond as well to conventional treatments alone.\nHolistic rehabilitation centers often have a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, including physical therapists, nutritionists, acupuncturists, and chiropractors, working collaboratively to create customized treatment plans for patients. This integrative approach recognizes that the combination of various therapies can lead to more profound and lasting results.\nIn conclusion, the shift towards holistic approaches to physical rehabilitation represents a significant advancement in the field of healthcare. Recognizing the mind-body connection, prioritizing nutrition, and integrating alternative therapies are all vital components of a comprehensive approach to healing. By considering the whole person, not just their physical ailment, we can unlock new possibilities for recovery and help individuals not only regain their physical health but also achieve a higher level of overall well-being. The future of rehabilitation is holistic, acknowledging that true healing extends far beyond the body alone.\nDiscover Your Path to Recovery with Physical Rehab Cornelius NC at Lakeside Sports Chiropractic Center!\nOur expert Cornelius chiropractors are dedicated to helping you regain your strength and mobility through personalized physical rehabilitation programs.
