Isenhurst Health Club Cross-In-Hand first opened its doors 22 years ago.
Local businessman Steve Butler and his father turned what was the Isenhurst Social Club behind the petrol station in Cross In Hand into the health and fitness club is it today.
With state-of-the-art equipment, an extensive studio programme, personal trainers, a 15m indoor swimming pool, sauna and spa, Isenhurst Health Club Cross In Hand soon became the hub for health and fitness in the Cross In Hand and Heathfield area.
The club which is one of three Clubs in the Isenhurst chain, offers classes for all ages, fitness and abilities including Circuits, Inferno Hot Pilates, Abs Attack, Pump, Spinning, Primal Fitness, Body Balance, Zumba, Pilates and Kettlebells.
Last year the club celebrated its twentieth anniversary by opening a 1,700 sq. ft. strength and conditioning studio. The new space is equipped with the latest Concept2 rowers, Airdyne bikes, running machines and SkiErg, as well as Plyometric boxes, kettlebells, dumbbells and weights.
This studio is one of a number of additions made to modernise the club over the years, enabling it accommodate emerging fitness trends.
It has a long-standing reputation as a centre for health and fitness excellence, with its indoor women’s rowing team winning gold last year at the British Indoor Rowing Championships, held at the Lee Valley VeloPark. An Isenhurst’s men’s team won Bronze in the 4000m, only to be beaten by two Team GB rowing teams that took the gold and silver places.
Memberships are available for as little as £42 per month off peak. Joint memberships are available too. There are no joining fees and no fixed long term contracts.

Dear Fenton Area Public Schools Families,
In the spirit of keeping our families informed when it comes to safety, I would like to share information regarding the mosquito-borne disease, Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) and to make you aware of the precautionary steps to take to help keep our students (and you) safe.
Yesterday, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) issued a Press Release indicating that there are now seven (7) confirmed human cases of EEE in Michigan. 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.
These measures were posted by MDHHS:
Apply 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.
Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants when outdoors. Apply insect repellent to clothing to help prevent bites.
Maintain window and door screening to help keep mosquitoes outside.
Empty water from mosquito breeding sites around the home, such as buckets, unused kiddie pools, old tires or similar sites where mosquitoes may lay eggs.
Use nets and/or fans over outdoor eating areas.
We 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.
According 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.
Fenton 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.
Additional information may be found at The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: https://www.cdc.gov/easternequineencephalitis/gen/pre.html

Based on interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary inputs from fields such as philosophy, anthropology and dance, contributions examine the issues presented by cultural differences in DMT through the input of practitioners from several diverse countries. Chapters blend theory and case studies with personal, intimate reflections to support critical descriptions of DMT interventions and share methods to help structure practice and facilitate communication between professionals and researchers.
The book’s multicultural, multidisciplinary examination of the essence of dance and its countless healing purposes will give readers new insights into the value and functions of dance both in and out of therapy.

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.
There are a variety of health problems that can be the result of work related illness.
Hearing loss or industrial deafness
Work 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.
Work related skin problems
Work 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.
Exposure to Hazardous Substances
Industrial 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.
Hand-arm Vibration Syndrome or Vibration White Finger
Hand-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.
Work Related Back Pain & Repetitive Strain Injuries
Back 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.
Work Related Stress
Well-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.
Who is responsible for your Industrial Illness or Work Related Disease
Your 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.
If 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.
How We Can Help
If 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:
- Your pain and suffering
- Any loss of earnings
- Specialist care and rehabilitation
As 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. | health |

So, when Belichick says something that’s in no way backed up by science, you probably shouldn’t listen to him.
That’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.
The 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.
“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.
“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.”
COVID 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.
COVID-19 vaccinations playing a role in 53-man rosters
Belichick 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.
Jacksonville 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.

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!
I 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.
Even 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.
I 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.
So I thought it might be helpful if I wrote a guide specifically about moving to Germany while pregnant, based on my recent experience.
Overall, 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.
So here are some useful things to know if you’re moving to Germany while pregnant!
Moving to Germany while pregnant: What You Must Do
1. Get proof of Health Insurance/ your insurance card
In 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.
On 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.
It 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.
Once you have your proof of Health Insurance/ Insurance Card, bring it to all doctor and hospital appointments.
As 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.
2. Register with a gynaecologist (and get your Mutterpass)
The gynaecologist handles all of your prenatal care; it is very important that you find one and make an appointment as soon as possible.
The 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).
You 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).
I 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.
Gynaecologist 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.
The gynaecologist is responsible for providing and managing your most important pregnancy document – your Mutterpass.
This 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.
In 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.
Be 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.
Once you have your Mutterpass, bring it to all doctor and hospital appointments, along with your Insurance Card.
3. Register with your chosen hospital
In 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.
Once 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).
This 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.
Once this appointment is complete, the next time you will return to the hospital will be when you are in labour.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Moving to Germany while pregnant: What You Can Do
1. Register with a GP (Hausarzt)
In 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).
You 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.
The easiest way to find a Hausarzt & book an appointment is via Doctolib.
As 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.
2. Arrange a Midwife (AKA Hebamme)
The midwife (AKA Hebamme) is responsible for at home support in the weeks immediately after you return from the hospital.
They 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.
In Berlin, you can contact Hebamme units directly, or you can also post on this facebook group with your delivery details & wait for a reply.
Demand 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).
This 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).
Having 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.
3. Request a caesarean section
In 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.
Certain 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).
In 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.
During 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.
In 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.
Assuming 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.
If you are unsuccessful, assuming you haven’t been turned down for a medical reason, you could try again with another hospital.
4. Attend a prenatal course
There are a number of English speaking prenatal courses available, both online and in person. These courses are typically covered by your Health Insurance.
They 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.
5. Book a postnatal Ruckbildung course
Ruckbildung 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.
6. Find your local Familienzentrum
Look 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.
Helpful Extras on Pregnancy and Birth in Germany
When 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.
The 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’.
In 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’.
As I mentioned above, Thailand was the polar opposite, and the UK is much more ambivalent.
Germany 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.
Once home, if you have a Hebamme, they will also help you further your breastfeeding technique.
The 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.
Personally, I had a difficult start, with a baby who was very sleepy and wasn’t strong enough to breastfeed directly.
After 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.
Immediately 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.
Speaking 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.
Access to English speaking medical professionals
For your prenatal care, it is very easy to find medical professionals who speak your preferred language via Doctolib.
It 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).
Admittedly, Berlin has a lot of fluent English speakers, so it might not be as easy in other cities or rural areas.
At 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.
My 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.
As 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.
Registering your child’s birth
Once your child is born, there is a 7 day window where you can register their birth & name at the hospital office.
You 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.
I 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.
I 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. | health |

This morning I’m one of three patient screeners. Armed with a list of 30 names and a bag of colored badges, I’m tasked with looking for patients seeking care from a particular cause of blindness and vision loss that local doctors are eager to treat with more skill – oculoplastics.
As I walk the hospital’s halls, patients eagerly wait. 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.
For 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.
The day has come to an end. I’ve called all the names. Dr. Kersten has examined all the patients. In the days ahead, nine children and adults ranging in age 3 to 40 will undergo corrective surgery for lid reconstruction or the removal of an orbital tumor on board the ORBIS DC-10. | health |

TOP! 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.
TOP! 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.
TOP! 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.
As 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.
TOP! 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.
For 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.
Indeed, 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.
TOP! 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.
Once 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.
The 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.
Therapists, clinicians and families who participated in the design sessions within the Fab Lab could empathise and become creators and designers of the final solution.
It was possible to think together openly and comprehensively about diagnostic and therapeutic needs and how design and technology could provide an adequate response.
Eye-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.
Applied Game, eye-tracking, and innovation
By 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.
Current 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.
Providing 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.
This 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.
Another fundamental aspect of the project concerns the collection of game session data for qualitative and quantitative rehabilitation analysis.
Data analysis and alternative use conditions
Ocular tracking devices have been used for years to map the eye’s main movements (saccades, focus and following), but under “protected” and replicable conditions.
With 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.
First 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.
Algorithms 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.
A 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.
Alessandro 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. | health |

The publications present the latest data on the prevalence of four key risk factors: tobacco use, harmful use of alcohol, physical inactivity, and unhealthy diet. Given that these behaviors are all modifiable and typically initiated or established during adolescence or young adulthood, the reports underscore the opportunity that low- and middle-income countries have to curb rising NCD epidemics, particularly across the four main NCDs: cardiovascular diseases, cancers, diabetes, and chronic lung diseases.
To launch these publications, we hosted events in Nairobi, New Delhi, and Dubai that were attended by a diverse group of stakeholders and facilitated dialogue about a way forward.
We also produced a policy report that advocates for integrating NCD services, particularly those focused on prevention and early intervention, with other health services targeting young people.
The regional publications and events for Asia, Africa, and the Middle East and North Africa, and the report on NCD service integration were produced with support from the AstraZeneca Young Health Programme. The publications for Latin America and the Caribbean were produced under PRB’s USAID-funded IDEA project, and in partnership with the Pan American Health Organization.

Par for the course during pregnancy.
See, 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)
It'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.)
So 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.
1. Sex is usually safe:
If 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).
Be 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.
What'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.
2. Sex can still be comfortable:
The old standby missionary position for intercourse may not work for you now. Instead, try these options:
3. Spooning: Lie side by side with him behind you. This makes for more shallow penetration.
4. You on top: There's no pressure on your belly, and you can control the speed and depth of penetration.
5. 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.
6. Living room love: Kneel on a couch with your belly facing the back of it; use your arms for support. He penetrates from behind.
7. You will have sex again after the baby comes:
Just 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.
Most docs recommend that you wait six weeks until after giving birth (even for oral sex). The goals are to allow your body to heal, avoid infection and deal with any psychological or emotional issues you and your partner may be feeling. When you do venture back, it's important to make your partner aware that you may need plenty of foreplay and possibly lubrication. Taking care of the baby for you whenever possible so that you can nap couldn't hurt, either! | health |

Many parents of young thumb suckers ask the question whether they should substitute a dummy or pacifier for the thumb. 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.
The 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.
An 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.
Talk to your doctor about how long you should wait before you introduce a dummy/pacifier to a breast-feeding infant.
Keep 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.
How can I explain to my child the damage caused by thumb sucking?
Motivate 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.
- Use a mirror to show your child the changes happening to his or her teeth or mouth shape.
- 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.
- 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.
Make 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.
How can I stop my child thumb sucking at night?
Thumb-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.
Remember 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.
What should I look out for?
Not 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.
Extended sucking affects both the teeth and the shape of the face and may lead to a need for orthodontic treatment in the future.
When should I seek professional help?
If, 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. | health |

Why is child therapy important?
Nothing is more distressful than watching your child struggle with stress, worry, or hopelessness.
Many parents feel lost and unsupported as they seek to find qualified help – and they are not alone.
Recent studies estimated that 1 in every 10 children suffer from mental illness (Planczyk et al, 2015), yet most families are under-resourced and lack the access to evidence-based treatment (Borre & Kliewer, 2014, Brimblecombe et al, 2015).
Common symptoms that emerge in childhood include (DSM-5):
- Parent-child conflict
- Anger outbursts or aggression
- Decreased energy or motivation
- Intense fear of social settings
- Persistent worry
- Major changes in bodyweight or appetite
- Frustration regarding schoolwork
- Bullying or being the victim of bullying
- Frequent thoughts of death or dying
- Rebelliousness or defiant behavior
- Difficulties with attention and focus
1 in every 10 children suffer from mental illness
Left untreated, mental illness in childhood significantly increases the risk of drug and alcohol addiction, criminal activity, and unemployment in adulthood (Brimblecombe et al, 2015). Not to mention the intense stress this can bring on the family.
So, what can we do to help?
My mission is to help children regain control and improve their lives through specifically-designed child therapy services.
What is child therapy?
Therapy with children can be very different than therapy with adults, although the goals are usually similar.
Many 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).
Often, 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.
Although 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.
So, how do I run child therapy?
How does Dr. Montgomery run child therapy?
Your child’s mental health is my priority.
As we work together to help your child, my focus will be on the child as well as the family.
My 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.
I 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.
As we work together, your child will learn how to:
- Notice their emotions
- Communicate needs and feelings
- Identify unhelpful ways of thinking
- Change unhealthy habits
- Develop deeper feelings of empathy for others
- Improve organizational skills
- Make friends and improve social skills
In therapy, children learn healthy self-expression
My 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.
Some examples of this might include:
- Changes in vocal tone to increase child’s feelings of safety
- Identifying triggers that evoke strong emotions
- Increased attunement to the child’s experience
- Adapting requests to promote feelings of autonomy
- 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.
Wellbeing 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.
Interested? Let’s connect!
If 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.
It is never too late for your child to receive treatment. I believe I can help make a difference in your child’s life.
Together, we can help them reach their potential.

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.
Erectile 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.
ED 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.
ED 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:
- Erections which are not sustainable for long enough to complete sexual activity
- The inability to achieve an erection at all
- Erections which are too flaccid to complete sexual activity
A 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.
Men 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.
ED 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.
If 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. | health |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a clinical study?
According to the International Council for Harmonisation Good Clinical Practice (ICH GCP E6(R2)), a clinical study is any investigation in human subjects intended to discover or verify the clinical and/or pharmacological effects of an investigational product(s), and/or to identify any adverse reactions to an investigational product(s), and/or to study absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of an investigational product(s) with the object of ascertaining its safety and/or efficacy. Thus, a clinical study is an investigation in human subjects with the main goal to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the investigational product.
A successful clinical study is proof of the efficacy and safety of the investigational product; therefore, clinical studies are always an integral part of the drug development. | health |

Begin by reading the information below! 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!
When you decide to buy omnadren, you need to know exactly what you are getting.
Omnadren 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.
You need to know the effects both good and bad when you buy omnadren.
Omnadren, 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. | health |

Questions about our formula? Our highly trained specialists would love to hear from you. Contact us anytime by phone or email.
You 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. .
I 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:
My 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.
You 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.
Blood 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.
It's also a fact that over 30% of all people over the age of 65 have type 2 diabetes.
Jerry 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.
"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.
What'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.
Jerry began searching online to find out what his options were, and how he could take back some control over his health.
He 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.
The 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.
Jerry found a doctor who treated his high blood sugar with a special diet.
He 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.
Sensing 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.
Then 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.
GlucoRemedy 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.
He 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.
The following is the letter we received from Jerry.
Dear Makers of GlucoRemedy,
After 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.
The 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.
I 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.
I 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!
I 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,
Only Clinically Proven Ingredients Are Included In Our Formulation
To 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.
Many 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.
Our formulation contains the powerful plant extract Gymnema Sylvestre.
Gymnema sylvestre is regarded as one of the plants with potent blood sugar lowering properties.
A link has been observed between obesity, Gymnemic acids and blood sugar regulation.
The 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.
Similarly, 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.
There 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.
Plus, GlucoRemedy also contains another potent blood sugar lowering ingredient Licorice Root.
Licorice Root was chosen as the "Medicinal plant of 2012," the root has been treasured in traditional healing since ancient times.
Researchers 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.
In other words, The reduced glucose level created by taking licorice root prevents the development of insulin resistance. Leading to better control of blood sugar.
These 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.
Bitter 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%.
Our 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.
Our 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:
Our Ingredients are Backed By Hundreds of Clinical Studies...Here Are Just a Few.
"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
" 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
"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
"A group of California researchers explored the impact of bitter melon extracts in diabetic and normal rats. Overall, bitter melon "powerfully lowered glucose levels" in diabetic rats and "exhibited beneficial effects in the regulation of blood glucose" in healthy rats. In fact, bitter melon extract reduced blood glucose more than did metformin (67% and 63% vs 54%, respectively)." Journal of Medicinal Food
"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
"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
"The binding of the amorfrutin molecules activates various genes that reduce the plasma concentration of certain fatty acids and glucose. The reduced glucose level prevents the development of insulin resistance -- the main cause of adult diabetes." Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012
"Gymnemic acids have antidiabetic, antisweetener and anti-inflammatory activities" J Clin Biochem Nutrition-2007
"In 1997, a Japanese Scientist described the anti-sweet activity of gymnemic acid, the inhibition of intestinal sugar absorption and insulin secretion by gymnemic acids, anti-diabetic effect of leaves of G. sylvestre and the development of Gymnema tea and Gymnema chewing gum for health food for preventing obesity and diabetes." Journal of Nutrition - 1999

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.
Monitoring 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.
The 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.
“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.

Modalities currently offered are as follows:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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’.
Yoga and Movement
*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.
*Please note that there is no experience required for private classes*
- 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.
- 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.
- 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. | health |

Kratom is the dried and ground leaves of the mitragyna speciosa tree, in the same family as the coffee tree. 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)
The 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.
In 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)
The above graph showing a reduced pain response using 7-hydroxymitragynine as compared with mitragynine and even morphine milligram for milligram in this animal study.
What are the Possible Side Effects?
Kratom is purported to have several adverse side effects.
The 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.
If 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.
Respiratory 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)
While 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.
There 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)
Many 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.
I am not a doctor, and this article should not be misconstrued to be medical advice. Please consult your doctor before adding any supplement to your regimen.

If you live in or near Raleigh, North Carolina, and are concerned about your heart health, call our office for testing and treatment today.
Cholesterol Q & A
What is cholesterol?
Cholesterol 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.
There 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.
High-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.
Why is high cholesterol bad?
Your 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.
How do I know if I have high cholesterol?
Unfortunately, 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.
How is high cholesterol treated?
The 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.
When lifestyle changes aren’t enough to reduce your cholesterol, the providers at RAMS prescribe a cholesterol-lowering medication, such as statins.
If you’re concerned about your cholesterol levels or have a family history of high cholesterol, call or schedule an appointment for testing today. | health |

Massages have therapeutic properties and it aids in the overall growth and development of a baby.

Benefits of massaging your baby with olive oil
#1. Great for your baby’s skin
Olive 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.
#2. Psychological effects
Using 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.

#3. In case of skin problems
Olive 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.
#4. For baby’s hair
Olive 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.

#5. Treating diaper rashes
Olive 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.
#6. Application on lips
Applying 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.
#7. Olive oil for baby’s nose, ears and nails
While 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.
Massaging 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.

Croup is mostly caused by a virus, but can sometimes be caused by bacteria or allergic reactions. Croup can appear suddenly during the night or when baby wakes up, but often it follows a cold or other similar viral condition. The baby may have a runny nose for a couple of days sometimes accompanied by a fever and then the croup coughing develops.
Symptoms to watch for are:
If 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.
So 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.
Most cases of croup are mild to moderate and do not pose a threat. However, If you notice the baby breathing fast and appears pale or bluish this is a sign that she is not getting enough oxygen and needs immediate medical attention. | health |

Awesome design! I like that yours is more breathable than other masks I've used but also doesn't have annoyingly wrinkly cotton on the inside. It also hangs comfortably on my neck if I take it down to eat/drink something. And it's so cool looking!
Love the mask. It’s my first pretty mask, and it’s great that it’s also so protective. Great coverage, great fit. Thanks so much.
It's so pretty. You do such nice work. I'm sure my mom will love it. Thank you!
Love it! Happy to help a friend who is making a quality product.
I’m glad you’re making such beautiful and useful things. I speak almost non-stop 8 to 10 hours a day at work while using your masks, which are comfortable, efficient and safe; I highly recommend them.
Helping us, the medical community with your well designed, comfortable mask that is easy to wear during a whole day’s work; and knowing we are wearing the best possible filter for mutual safety in high exposure risk conditions makes us feel safe and able to participate efficiently and naturally in the practice of medicine without worrying about the risks of something we can control by using the correct equipment. The casual look of a homemade mask, relaxes the patients that feel the comfort of being with a regular human being, and not a dry impersonal health provider.
Wow wow wow! Got the masks- they are awesome! The thought and engineering that went into the construction is great. Thank you so much!
I'm slow on the recovery so love having this mask with the filters to keep me a little safer. Had service work done on the house this week and I felt so much better with this mask. Thanks again for making it & getting it to me so quickly!
We love them!!!! They're awesome & we're even remarking how cool the packaging is. Awesome job! Thank you for making such a great product! I feel safer knowing my loved ones are wearing your masks. | health |

They further said that most people are not aware of the amount of calories contained in alcohol and therefore they do not include them when assessing their calorie intake.
In terms of calorie value, alcohol, which contains 7kcal/g, is second to fat, which contains 9 kcal/g. A medium strength lager contains 250 calories and would take the average 75kg adult 53 minutes of hurried walking to burn off. In comparison, an orange juice contains 109 calories, and would take 23 minutes of hurried walking to burn off.
WCRF points to a growing body of evidence that shows being overweight increases the risk of a number of cancers including those of the pancreas, bowel, breast, esophagus, kidney, womb and gallbladder.
Kate Mendoza, Head of Health Information at WCRF, says after smoking, being overweight or obese is the biggest risk factor for developing cancer.
Reducing Alcohol Intake
If you drink alcohol, the WCRF recommends that you limit your intake to no more than 2 drinks a day if you are a man and 1 a day if you are a woman.
They offer these tips to help you cut down:
Choose the smallest serving size
Dilute alcoholic drinks with soda water or low-calorie soft drinks,
Alternate alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, and
Avoid alcohol altogether on a few nights per week.

Some features may seem more or less useful to different users, so really take the time to comparison shop between the many units that each brand offers. If there is a feature that you might not be interested in using now, or that you won’t use personally, there may be a family member that can benefit from certain features.
It is also important to read reviews and personal experiences with each unit because there may be some issues, sound, types of pulsation and size, with each unit that will change your decision to purchase a specific model.

In this comprehensive guide, we delve into the depths of Manuka honey, exploring its origins, health benefits, cultural significance, production process, chemical composition, grading systems, usage, sustainability efforts, future potential, and much more. So what is Manuka Honey?
Table of Contents
Manuka honey's journey from hive to table is a testament to the delicate balance between nature and human intervention. Each step of the production process, from the diligent foraging behavior of honeybees to the careful extraction and packaging by beekeepers, reflects a profound respect for the land and its inhabitants. With sustainability and conservation at the forefront of industry practices, efforts are underway to ensure the long-term viability of Manuka honey production while preserving the ecosystems that sustain it. Through responsible stewardship and innovative approaches, the future of Manuka honey shines bright, promising continued health benefits and cultural significance for generations to come. So let's have a look at what is Manuka honey.
The Manuka plant, a botanical marvel indigenous to the lush landscapes of New Zealand and the southeastern regions of Australia, stands as a testament to nature's ingenuity and the intricate interplay between flora and fauna. Revered for its robust stature, this bush species reaches heights ranging from 2 to 5 meters, its sinewy branches adorned with thorny leaves that serve as a protective shield against the elements. Yet, beyond its formidable exterior lies a treasure trove of utility deeply ingrained in Maori tradition.
For generations, the Manuka plant has been a cornerstone of indigenous culture, its multifaceted presence permeating various aspects of daily life. Every component of this botanical marvel is harnessed with purpose and reverence, ensuring that no resource goes untapped. The timber of the Manuka tree finds versatile application, with artisans skillfully fashioning it into a myriad of utensils essential for culinary pursuits and domestic life. Meanwhile, the aromatic allure of its shavings infuses the art of smoking meat and fish, imparting a distinctive flavour cherished by epicureans and culinary connoisseurs alike.
Yet, it is within the realm of healing and wellness that the Manuka plant truly shines, its essence enshrined in the annals of traditional Maori medicine and embraced by modern pharmaceutical science. The essential oils extracted from its foliage, along with the white gum secreted by its bark, are revered for their potent therapeutic properties, serving as invaluable ingredients in remedies aimed at alleviating a spectrum of maladies. From fevers to congestion, inflammation to infection, the Manuka plant offers solace and relief, its botanical bounty a testament to nature's capacity for nurturing and healing.
The Taste of Manuka Honey
Manuka honey, with its caramelised essence and rich, aromatic profile, stands apart as a culinary delight unlike any other. Characterised by its viscous texture and deep, amber hue that tends toward a luscious brown, this golden elixir tantalises the senses with its distinctively robust flavour profile. Unlike its European counterparts such as acacia or chestnut honey, Manuka honey exudes an earthy complexity, enriched with subtle notes of damp soil and mineral essence, evoking the essence of its pristine origins.
Yet, it is not merely the sweetness that distinguishes Manuka honey, but the lingering symphony of flavors that dance upon the palate with each indulgent taste. As the initial burst of sweetness subsides, a subtle yet pronounced bitterness emerges, adding depth and complexity to the sensory experience. This bittersweet interplay, underscored by a lingering herbal undertone, creates a harmonious balance that is at once intriguing and utterly irresistible, beckoning connoisseurs and epicureans alike to savor the nuanced nuances of this extraordinary honey.
Health Benefits of Manuka Honey
The health benefits of Manuka honey are as diverse as they are profound. Numerous scientific studies have demonstrated its efficacy in treating a wide range of ailments, including wound healing, digestive issues, sore throats, acne, and burns. This is largely attributed to its potent antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, which are mediated by key compounds such as methylglyoxal (MGO), dihydroxyacetone, and leptosperin.
Manuka honey's therapeutic potential extends beyond conventional remedies, offering a holistic approach to wellness that addresses both physical and emotional well-being. 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.
To 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.
Beyond 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.
The 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.
The 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.
At 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.
The 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.
Navigating 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.
The 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.
Usage and Applications
From 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.
The 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.
Sustainability and Conservation
As 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.
Sustainable 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. Additionally, supporting local beekeeping communities and ethical honey producers helps to foster economic development and social resilience in rural areas, empowering beekeepers to thrive while preserving traditional knowledge and cultural heritage.
Future Research and Trends

The donation from long-time supporters and benefactors George and Carol Bauer of Wilton, Connecticut will support the construction of a new state-of-the-art Patient Pavilion.
The Patient Pavilion is the largest expansion in Norwalk Hospital’s 126 year history and will bring cutting-edge critical care, surgical, women, and pediatric facilities and services to Fairfield County, Connecticut.
“We could not be more appreciative of Mr. and Mrs. Bauer’s remarkably generous gift to Norwalk Hospital. Their leadership and commitment to Norwalk Hospital over the past 30 years has allowed us to provide innovative medical care close to home for Fairfield County residents,” said John M. Murphy, MD, president and CEO of Western Connecticut Health Network (WCHN). “We are dedicated to making investments in people, facilities, programs, and services to advance the caliber and scope of care we provide our patients. This transformative gift from the Bauers will allow us to do just that in Norwalk.”
“Speaking on behalf of our entire family and our foundation, it is our honor to support Norwalk Hospital as it prepares to care for the next generation of community members,” said Mrs. Bauer. “Many of the special services housed within the Patient Pavilion are near and dear to our hearts. We welcome the opportunity to help Norwalk Hospital provide patients with high-quality medical care well into the future, and we invite others to join us in this most critical effort.”
The Patient Pavilion at Norwalk Hospital will be a seven floor, 200,000 square-foot tower. This contemporary facility will feature patient-centered amenities and advanced clinical facilities and programs, including intensive care and step down units, a medical-surgical unit for inpatient and outpatient surgical procedures, and an inpatient pediatric unit.
The Patient Pavilion will also include a comprehensive Center for Women and Children with a first-class labor and delivery space, nursery, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and enhanced pediatric specialties.
The private patient rooms were designed to enhance comfort, safety, and privacy and will include new technologies to increase diagnostic and treatment capabilities.
“We are eternally grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Bauer for their inspirational gift,” said Peter R. Cordeau, president of Norwalk Hospital. “Mr. and Mrs. Bauer’s incredible generosity has helped so many people at Norwalk Hospital throughout the years. They are truly changing and saving lives by supporting Norwalk Hospital as we evolve to not only meet but exceed the health care needs of the communities we serve.”
The Norwalk Hospital Patient Pavilion is expected to break ground next year and open in 2022.

The shoulder is one of most mobile joints in the body, but with this mobility comes vulnerability to dislocation. 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.
How Do I Know If I’ve Dislocated My Shoulder?
This 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.
But 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.
The 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.
What You Shouldn’t Do
The 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.
What You Should Do
If 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.
With 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.
Please 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. | health |

02 Nov 2020
Today marks the start of Ask Your Pharmacist Week - an annual initiative by the National Pharmacy Association (NPA) and the NHS to build public understanding of community pharmacy services and the role of pharmacists.
The theme of this year’s Ask Your Pharmacist Week is ‘Your local pharmacy in the NHS family’. It will run from 2-9 November and as usual aims both to raise awareness of pharmacy services and to prompt conversations with key stakeholders at a local level about community pharmacy’s role and benefits.
According to an opinion survey carried out for the NPA in June, 30% of people are unaware that community pharmacies are part of the NHS, despite the fact that pharmacies are the most visited of all settings where NHS care is offered.
Campaign materials therefore highlight pharmacy-based NHS services and that community pharmacy teams work with other health service providers to deliver patient-centred care.
NPA Head of Communications, Stephen Fishwick, said:
“During the coronavirus pandemic, community pharmacy teams have worked unstintingly on the health service frontline to provide great patient care in difficult circumstances, alongside colleagues from other professions.
“This year’s Ask Your Pharmacist week is a chance to further establish in the public’s mind that community pharmacies are a key member of the NHS family.
“The better it’s understood that community pharmacies are part of the NHS team, the more people will be willing to access NHS services in pharmacies and support the further development of integrated, patient-centred care.”
Activities during Ask Your Pharmacist Week include pharmacy window displays, newspaper adverts and a social media campaign. A short animated film can be viewed at npa.co.uk/ayp2020, where you will also find downloadable campaign assets.

Whether it’s your first pregnancy or you’ve had previous pregnancies with a partner, it’s important to have the necessary information and support to guide you through the process. You can start by documenting any previous pregnancies you’ve had, including any high-risk factors that were present. This information can be important for your doctor as it may impact your current pregnancy or any future pregnancies.
It’s also important to talk to the women in your family about their experiences with fertility, pregnancy, and childbirth. Some conditions that can affect pregnancy are genetic, so having an understanding of your family’s health history can be crucial. You can also keep a journal to document any questions or concerns you have for your doctor. This can help you stay organized and ensure that you get the most out of your appointments.
Here are six questions your doctor may ask about your reproductive health history:
- When did you start your menstrual cycle?
- Are your menstrual cycles regular?
- Does infertility run in your family?
- Have you ever had fibroids or endometriosis?
- Do you have diabetes or a history of blood clots?
- Any other reproductive health concerns?
When you meet with your doctor, be sure to inform them that you are planning to conceive on your own using donor sperm. This information is important for your doctor to know, as it may impact the type of treatment plan they recommend. You should also ask your doctor questions about their evaluation process and treatment options, including the costs associated with each option.
If you are self-paying, it’s important to ask about any special payment plans or financing options that may be available to you. You should also ask your doctor about their success rates, broken down by age and type of procedure, as well as any services they offer specifically for SMCs. Remember, your end goal may change as you go through the process, so it’s important to keep your doctor informed of any changes or concerns you may have.
Starting your journey as an SMC can be challenging, but with the right information and support, you can feel confident in your decisions and the path you’re taking. Remember to stay organized, ask questions, and keep your end goal in mind throughout the process. By doing so, you can ensure that you are making informed decisions and giving yourself the best chance at a successful pregnancy and motherhood. | health |

It looks at mapping out the core functions of the brain such as concentration, vision, memory, balance, and more and establishes a baseline norm for an individual in an uninjured state. This baseline data can then be used by any medical professional to guide their decision-making regarding diagnosis, rehabilitation, and the safe return to school, work, and sport.
Baseline testing allows for a head start on potential concussive injuries. After a concussion has occurred, information about a person’s brain in its healthy state can be used to identify the damage received during a head knock. Comparing pre-season baseline testing against post-concussion findings will aid in a faster, more effective diagnosis and minimise the long-term consequences of a significant concussion.
Baseline testing provides medical professionals with accurate and informative data that will enable them to better treat a patient and make evidence-based recommendations for their recovery. Furthermore, data from baseline testing creates a reference point for rehabilitation and monitoring, so that when an individual shows signs that a symptom is still present they can compare it against their baseline norm.
The primary concern should always be the safety and well-being of people participating in the sport or activities that they love. Baseline testing allows for peace of mind during high-risk situations as you can be assured that should a concussion occur, the correct measures are in place to facilitate your recovery.
Take control, take action and ensure you or your child are in the best possible position for treatment should you ever need it. BodyOptics offers Baseline Testing as part of our Complete Concussion Management solution. The session takes 15 minutes per participant and is delivered either in-person or online via video consult, at an affordable fee. | 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.
The 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.
The 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.
One 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.
Cycling 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.
The 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.
Surprisingly, 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.
In 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. | health |

In less than 24 hours, samples have been obtained from more than 600 residents and workers in Lanzarote (60 samples); Fuerteventura (125 people); Tenerife (200 tested) and Gran Canaria (where samples were taken from 240 people).
On Thursday it is planned to start screening in La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro, where in total, a population of almost 10,000 people will be reached among residents and workers.
The number of deaths in senior residents centres is 10, in four residences in Tenerife, two of them in the last 24 hours. The main objective of this screening is the detection of possible asymptomatic positive cases that may occur in these residences.
As a secondary objective, but not less important, the screening will determine the immunity status of the residents and workers of the centers against the coronavirus COVID-19. This screening is carried out with both PCR and antibody diagnostic tests, depending on the epidemiological assessment of the cases.
The work of both screening and control has been coordinated between the General Directorate of Public Health and the Ministry of Social Rights, which in turn is coordinated with the island councils, in conjunction with the Primary Care departments and the Canary Emergency Service (SUC). | health |

A loud, disruptive cough can resolve with brief therapy.
Posted March 19, 2022 | Reviewed by Devon Frye
- Habit cough is also called psychogenic cough, cough tic, and somatic cough syndrome.
- Habit cough tends to be loud, and usually resolves during sleep.
- Medications do not help habit cough.
- With hypnosis, habit cough in children can resolve within a single session half of the time, and within a month for most patients.
Habit cough is a functional disorder because its persistence is not the result of physical symptoms. 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.
Cough 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).
Diagnosis of Habit Cough
Clues 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.
In 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.
Like 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.
Medications 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.
Treatment of Habit Cough with Hypnosis
Treatments 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.
Children 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.
Hypnosis 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).
Cough 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.
As 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.

The condition occurs when blood vessels in the facial area enlarge and dilate.
Rosacea can cause facial redness as well as produce small, red, pustules on areas such as the nose, cheeks and forehead. Rosacea can worsen with time if left untreated and is often mistaken for acne or eczema.
Rosacea and other inflammatory skin conditions can be treated via a multitude of methods here at Dentelle Aesthetics.
We have painstakingly researched the best, clinically proven treatments to calm and soothe the skin as well as manage conditions such as rosacea.
- HydraFacial – a 4 to 6 step cleansing and hydrating treatment which utilises hydradermabrasion, specialist peels and selected serums to treat rosacea and other inflammatory skin conditions.
- Alumier and Environ facials – clinically proven facials utilising high quality skin products not available on the high street, our range of specific facials target a myriad of skin concerns, including rosacea and redness. Alumier and Environ can also be used at home to compliment any facials that you have here in clinic and to offer optimum results.
- Fire & Ice facial – the iS Clinical Fire & Ice Resurfacing Facial is a rejuvenating treatment that bridges the gap between a mild facial and an invasive peel, with no downtime. iS Clinical products can also be used at home to compliment your Fire & Ice facial and to offer optimum results.
- IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) – during this treatment, short pulses of intense light are emitted via a handheld applicator onto your skin. This light penetrates the small blood capillaries helping to reduce inflammation and calm the symptoms of rosacea.
- LED light therapy – The Déesse Pro LED uses low-level light therapy (LLLT) by way of medical grade, surface mounted, light emitting diodes (LED’s) to expose the skin to clinically proven specific wavelengths of light which are delivered at safe and effective doses. LED light therapy can effectively calm and treat skin with rosacea.
Prior to any rosacea treatment here at Dentelle, we will ask you to attend a no obligation consultation in order to effectively recognise your skin condition and formulate the most appropriate treatment for your specific concerns. | health |

Have you ever asked yourself, "Which side to sleep with blocked nose?"
Well, 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.'
It makes you look for positions that seemingly defy the laws of gravity, all in the quest for breathability.
So, what is the secret sauce to achieving much-needed relief and sound sleep when grappling with a thoroughly blocked nose?
Your body position plays an important role - it can either help provide relief or escalate your discomfort. To enlighten you on this common nightly struggle.
Let'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.
A 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.
You 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.
Not 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.
It’s essential to get your condition assessed by a medical professional if you don't see improvement in symptoms over some time.
No, Sleeping with a congested nose isn't harmful in itself; it can just make for an uncomfortable night.
Nasal 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.
Although 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.
Elevating your head during sleep, using a humidifier, taking hot showers, and staying hydrated can help decongest your nose.
Suppose nasal congestion persists for more extended periods (more than a week) and is accompanied by symptoms like high fever or facial pain.
It could indicate a more serious health issue like acute sinusitis or nasal polyps and should require medical attention immediately.
If 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.
Lying on the side of your unblocked nostril allows for easier airflow as mucus in your congested nostril would naturally move away due to gravity.
If you sleep on the blocked side, that could contribute to an increased feeling of congestion, potentially worsening discomfort and disrupting your sleep.
This is just a temporary solution, and it's vital to treat the underlying issue causing nasal congestion.
Simple treatments can include staying hydrated, using a humidifier at night, or over-the-counter decongestion sprays or tablets.
A healthcare professional should check out persistent or severe congestion since it may be symptomatic of a more serious health condition.
When dealing with a stubbornly stuffed nose, trying to catch those elusive Z's can be quite the hassle. We've all been there.
There are a number of strategies you can utilize to ease the discomfort and improve your chances of getting a good night's sleep.
Let's delve into some time-tested tips that can help you sleep more peacefully, even with a blocked nose.
The 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.
You 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.
Indeed, 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.
They 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.
Have 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.
Spicy 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.
Nasal 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.
The 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.
A 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.
Inhale 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.
This method helps moisturize your nasal passages, thinning out the mucus that's causing blockage and discomfort.
Steamy 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.
So, next time you feel that nasal discomfort flaring up again, opt for short, frequent showers during the day or even right before sleep time.
Cleanliness is paramount when it comes to keeping allergens at bay - these pesky triggers can make an otherwise simple cold escalate into relentless nasal congestion.
Dust frequently and vacuum regularly (using appliances equipped with HEPA filters) to reduce dust mites and pet dander often found lurking in carpets and upholstery.
Remember also to wash your beddings often in hot water to ward off dust mites that might be sheltering there.
Air 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.
These 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.
Dry air can often aggravate sinus pressure, causing increased inflammation and worsening nasal blockage.
That'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.
Remember to keep the device clean, though, as ignored humidifiers can harbor molds or bacteria harmful to your respiratory health.
While a comforting hot cup of tea or coffee may be tempting, caffeinated drinks could work against you when dealing with a blocked nose.
Caffeine has diuretic properties, which can leave you dehydrated, consequently thickening the mucus in your nasal passages.
Alcohol 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.
Gravity 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.
This way, by bedtime, your amount of discomfort has already been lowered significantly, and sleeping becomes easier.
A 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.
A simple washcloth soaked in moderately warm water applied over your nose and forehead should do the trick.
Just as maintaining an upright position during the day helps sinus drainage, raising your head while sleeping alleviates nighttime stuffiness.
This can be achieved by adding an extra pillow or elevating the head side of your bed slightly - all for that precious, peaceful sleep.
Our bodies react to allergens like pollen, dust mites, or pet dander by producing excessive mucus, leading to blocked noses.
If 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.
Switching 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.
Even if it may seem somewhat unconventional, chewing gum has been heralded by many as a simple yet effective method of relieving a blocked nose.
As you chew, you stimulate the production of saliva, which aids in swallowing and can relieve pressure in your ears and nose.
Opting for a mint-flavored gum can be especially helpful since mint has natural decongestant properties.
A 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.
For added benefits, consider adding essential oils such as eucalyptus or peppermint oil known for decompressing sinuses.
Herbal teas are more than just comforting beverages; they are full of natural substances that can ease sinus congestion.
Teas such as peppermint and ginger are popular choices to open up the nasal passage due to their anti-inflammatory properties.
They soothe inflamed sinus tissues, promote mucus drainage, and work wonders when it comes to clearing airways.
The powerful aroma of eucalyptus oil is well-known for its ability to ease breathing difficulties associated with colds or congestion.
Adding 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.
They 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.
It 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.
Reducing screen time before hitting the bed is a helpful measure not just for those with a stuffy nose but everyone in general.
Screens-emitted blue light can interfere with your body's production of melatonin, the sleep hormone, making it harder for you to fall asleep.
This means more time being conscious of your blocked nose and less time getting restorative sleep.
Swapping screen time with relaxing activities such as reading a book or listening to soothing music can significantly benefit overall sleep quality.
When home remedies aren't cutting it, you might need some extra help from over-the-counter decongestants.
These medications work by reducing blood flow to the nasal passages, resulting in reduced swelling and easier breathing.
They 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.
Another 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.
Nasal 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.
By promoting better airflow through the nostrils, these strips can help you breathe easier during sleep.
Relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or meditation can also aid your fight against nighttime nasal congestion.
Not 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.
A 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.
Giving your bedroom a thorough dusting is crucial. Dust can trigger allergies that lead to increased mucus production, worsening your nasal congestion.
Regularly 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.
While you might love curling up with your fluffy friend at the end of a long day, it could be aggravating your nasal congestion.
Pet 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.
Regular grooming of pets and frequent washing of bedding where pets have been can also prove beneficial.

Sleeping 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.
Try 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.
Gravity 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.
This simple tip could greatly improve breathability throughout the night and improve overall sleep quality.
Using a mentholated ointment like Vicks VapoRub under or around your nostrils can help break up nasal congestion and open up airways for easier breathing.
The refreshing scent of menthol has cooling properties, which act as a natural decongestant - providing instant relief from a blockage issue.
If added elevation sounds like a good idea, but stacking pillows feels unstable or just not comfortable, consider investing in a wedge pillow.
These specially designed pillows provide incline and support for your entire upper body, clearing up your nasal passages by encouraging sinus drainage.
As a bonus, it can also help alleviate symptoms in people who suffer from acid reflux or snoring issues.
One simple yet very effective tip is to keep plenty of tissues close at hand, preferably right next to your bed.
Having a runny nose can increase the amount of tissue you go through, so having them nearby can provide convenience as well as comfort.
It 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.
Your choice of sleepwear can play an integral part in your quality of sleep, particularly when your nose is blocked.
Opting 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.
Good 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.
Keep 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.
Using 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.
The cool circulating air can aid in reducing inflammation in your nasal passages, thus alleviating some of the blockage.
Did 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.
Having 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.
Yes, it is generally suggested that sleeping on the side of the unblocked nostril can help improve airflow and relieve congestion.
Absolutely! Sleeping with your head elevated can reduce congestion and make breathing easier.
Lying flat on your back can exacerbate sinus pressure and obstruct breathing through the nose.
Dry air in your bedroom may worsen your symptoms. Use a humidifier or ensure good ventilation to keep air moist.
Yes, alternating sides during the night could assist in equalizing pressure in your sinuses and bring relief to a blocked nose.
When 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.
Implementing 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!
For 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. | 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.
After 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.
Writing 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”.
Then, 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.
Good 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.
Writing 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. | health |

Mitral valve disease (MVD) is the most common form of heart disease in dogs. 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.
MVD 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.
The 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.
Because the heart valves are leaky, circulation is impaired.
For 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.
MVD may affect the dog's body in a number of different ways. See your vet for more information. | health |

The Health and Safety at Work Act (2015)
On 4 April 2016, the Health and Safety at Work Act (HSWA) comes into force bringing new responsibilities for everyone in the workplace. The new law is part of a reform package aimed at reducing the number of serious work-related injuries and deaths in New Zealand by at least 25 percent by 2020. Everyone who goes to work deserves to come home healthy and safe.
There are several regulations that relate to specific industries, i.e. mining, asbestos etc. The two below are of specific interest. The Worker Engagement, Participation and Representation Regulations 2016 is relevant to every business and the Adventure Activities Regulations 2016 is specific to the adventure activity sector.
Worker Engagement, Participation and Representation Regulations 2016 These regulations prescribe matters relating to work groups, health and safety representatives, and health and safety committees to support more effective worker participation. This includes information on who can be a health and safety representative or on a health and safety committee, and health and safety representative training.The regulations also include matters that an inspector may decide if the parties are unable to reach an agreement themselves, and specify the sectors that are high risk for the purposes of worker participation requirements.
Adventure Activities Regulations 2016 These regulations deal with the provision of adventure activities. They set out the process for becoming registered as an adventure activity operator and make it an offence for unregistered operators to offer adventure activities to participants. These regulations revoke and replace the Health and Safety in Employment (Adventure Activities) Regulations 2011. Only minimal changes were made to align terminology and concepts with the new Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 and to add a new offence of offering adventure activities while unregistered. | health |

Camano Island Fire and Rescue is teaching 10-minute CPR classes outside the Camano Plaza IGA (370 N. 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.
Community 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.
“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.”
Cardiac 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.
Traditional 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.
“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”.
The fire district invites the public to join Camano Island Fire & Rescue Firefighters for this important project.
National 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.”
Camano 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. Fifty-three full-time, part-time and volunteer firefighters respond to an average of 1,800 calls per year.

Lasik Eye Surgical procedure
LASIK is the acronym for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis as well as is an eye surgical system which permanently remedies vision by eliminating a slim layer of the cornea. 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.
Individuals 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.
There are, nonetheless, dangers to LASIK eye surgical procedure.
There 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.
A 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.
FDA 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.
Though 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.
Intacs 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.
Intacs 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.
Due 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.
The brand-new IOL, called the Craftsmen, is meant for only people who have 2.5 diopters or less of astigmatism.
The 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.
To 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.
Extra 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.
The 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. | health |

It is often hard for us to imagine that in many regions of the world, dental care is largely unheard of, and so is visiting the dentist. This is the case in Myanmar, previously known as Burma, that suffered a major flooding disaster in 2008.
To provide practical help, dental students from Witten/Herdecke university have been involved in a project for dental health in children since 2009.
The main aim is to provide material, financial and practical support for the work performed by the country’s dentists. Preservative treatments, dental prevention programs and information is offered for children in particular. To achieve this, a group of students travels to Myanmar at least once a year to provide help on site in cooperation with the local dentists.
In addition to dental expertise and mobile treatment units, this naturally requires a considerable amount of dental materials. As one of the main sponsors, DMG Dental Material-Gesellschaft from Hamburg significantly helps the aid project in this regard. “We are very pleased to be able to support this exemplary project with our materials as a premium partner,” says Dr. Susanne Effenberger, Head of Clinical Research at DMG. “After all, nothing will happen unless you make it happen—this is true in life and also in dental medicine.”

Light at night is associated with an elevated risk of various types of cancer. 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.

It’s a common stone which is easily obtained. There are other varieties of amethyst but we won’t get into those today. Being a high vibration stone that is also very protective, it guards against psychic attack as well as negative energies of all types.
Amethyst is a great stone to help balance energy, clear, cleanse energy, and reduce stress. It is a positive energy stone that promotes love and selflessness. Amethyst is great to meditate with by increasing spiritual awareness, tranquility and sensing love of the divine. It corresponds to the crown chakras and helps with the 3rd eye intuition, out of body experiences, and inner vision. You can use it to cleanse auras as well.
Also known for healing properties, it promotes healing throughout the body and brings harmony while repelling negative energy. So, if you’re just starting out in crystals, I highly recommend this stone for its versatility and for its properties.

Herbs work more like drugs, but without the side effects which often accompany drugs.
Homeopathy works on a cellular and energetic level to re-program the cells to make you healthier overall and to eliminate the cause of the problem, thereby preventing it from coming back.
Q: Why Use Acupuncture?
A: Acupuncture works on the 12 meridians and organs in the body. 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.
Q: Why should i change my diet?
A: 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.
Q: Why get blood and other tests?
A: 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.
Getting 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.
Insurance often covers all or part of your treatment and testing. | health |

The National Blood Transfusion Service has said that blood donations are sometimes taken for granted or ignored, and it is a challenge during the summer months to collect the 50 bags of blood necessary each day to maintain stocks.
The Service has called for more awareness in this regard, and with this in mind, the public in Gozo is invited to donate blood during a session at the District Health Centre in Xewkija, this Sunday, the 19th of August, from 8:00am to 1:00pm (last registration 1:00pm).
It is important to always take your Identity Card, or Driving License or Maltese Passport and to drink plenty of water beforehand.
The Service thanks everyone who intends to donate.

While the cost of traditional long-term care insurance has risen dramatically since it was first introduced, it still makes sense for certain clients to purchase some coverage to hedge the risk of needing long-term care services. 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.
Outside 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.
Because 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.
When 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.
Our 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.
Hybrid 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. | health |

What Is Palliative Care?
Palliative 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.
Palliative 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.
Improves Quality of Life
Palliative 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.
Palliative 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.
A Partnership of Patient, Specialists and Family
Palliative 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.
The 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.
The 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.
But what should you ask the team during the meeting? Here are some suggestions:
- What can I expect from palliative care?
- Where will my care be provided (e.g., in the hospital, home, nursing home, hospice)?
- Who is on the palliative care team?
- What are your recommendations for my care?
- What decisions need to be made by either my family or me?
- Will you help explain my treatment choices and the issues involved in making these decisions?
- Will you communicate openly and candidly with my family and me about my illness?
- Will you continue to be involved in my care when I am in the hospital (if you are an outpatient).
- Will you continue to be involved in my care when I am discharged from the hospital?
- How will you work with and communicate with my other doctors?
- What will you do if I experience severe pain or other symptoms?
- What support will you provide to my family and/or caregivers?
- Will you still be available to me throughout my illness?
- How can I reach you?
- What resources do you recommend for me to learn more about palliative care?

The safety of our community is a top priority. In light of concerns around COVID-19, we know that many of you may have questions about how it may affect library events, facilities, and open hours.
The Morgantown Public Library System continues to operate as usual, and we want to assure you that our team is staying current on all developments surrounding the virus. We are monitoring updates from the Mon County Health Department (https://www.monchd.org/) and the USA Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html).
While we always strive to be a clean library we are taking extra precautions—hand sanitizer stations have been set up at the entrance and throughout the library, hand washing instructions and reminders have been placed in bathrooms, and our team will be sanitizing door handles and entrance ways several times a day. To help us with our efforts, we ask all visitors to follow these simple preventative measures that can help keep our library safe:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds after going to the bathroom, before eating, and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
- Wash your hands before touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Cough into your elbow.
- If you have concerns about your health or any symptoms, contact your healthcare provider.
If you are feeling sick we encourage you to stay home and avoid public areas rather than risk spreading germs to others. Our 24/7 digital library meets you wherever you are. Should you ever find yourself away from our libraries find us online at www.mympls.org.
We will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide resources to keep our community informed. For additional resources, consider the following: CDC website for weekly updates (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/summary.html), Mon County Health Department for local updates (https://www.monchd.org/), and the WHO Q&A (https://www.who.int/news-room/q-a-detail/q-a-coronaviruses). | 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:
- Random, unpredictable, intermittent, unapproved fireworks by your wonderful neighbors starting the week before
- Large sustained pre-planned firework events in nearly every neighborhood in America
- Loud and crowded cookouts with kids and greasy foods and alcohol and no one really supervising any of it
- Sporadic, unpredictable thunderstorms
While 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.
First (and foremost): If you take nothing else from this post, please read and absorb this as it is THE most important point:
- Don’t take your pet to fireworks displays or events.
- Though you may think your dog will enjoy the festivities, many dogs are frightened by the crowds and the noise.
- Some will even panic, try to escape, and can injure themselves.
- Add in the likely sweltering heat and unattended food items that often accompany these festivities, and the potential dangers far outweigh the potential fun.
- Leave your pets at home where they are safe and comfortable.
- Make sure your pet is wearing identification tags, and preferably, in addition, have your pet microchipped.
Also keep in mind:
- Use caution when having parties or cookouts when you have pets.
- Many human foods (such as onions, garlic, macadamia nuts, grapes, and raisins) are toxic to animals.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
What to do if you have a nervous noise-phobic dog, or you aren’t sure, and the 4th of July is approaching?
- Don’t take your pet out to a celebration
- Don’t leave your pet unattended in a nonsecure area of the house or outside
- 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.
- 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.
- This is a typical expression you may see in a fearful, noise-phobic dog during an event.
If you notice any of these behaviors, don’t reinforce it accidentally.
- This is one of the most common mistakes we make when addressing these problems in our pets.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- A few drops of lavender oil on a collar or bandana may also be soothing.
- There are also massage techniques, TTouch in particular, that can be helpful.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
What are the long-term solutions?
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Finally, 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.
Hopefully these tips can help you and your pet have a safe happy 4th of July and summer thunderstorm season.

About the Book
Every woman goes through menopause. While over 75% of menopausal Ob-Gyn physicians take estrogen replacement, only 5% of their menopausal patients use hormones. Why are these doctors leveraging estrogen's power for symptom relief, health maintenance, and disease prevention? What do these doctors know that the rest of us may not be aware of?
In this authoritative and reassuring guide to estrogen hormone therapy, Dr. Masters candidly shares her insights into how estrogen safely and effectively alleviates menopausal symptoms, and she explains how estrogen helps prevent many chronic diseases that cripple older women.
For years, menopause hormone therapy has been clouded by controversy and misinformation. Dr. Masters clarifies all aspects of menopause, perimenopause, premenopause, and postmenopause, including estrogen deficiency, bioidentical hormones, hot flashes and night sweats, sexuality and libido, adding "a touch of testosterone," vaginal dryness, weight gain, skin wrinkles, breast cancer, osteoporosis, bladder incontinence, blood clots, heart disease, Alzheimer's dementia, strokes, and other age-related issues. Comprehensive and enlightening, this is timely reading for women of all ages.

Are you a UK citizen planning to travel abroad? 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.
What is a Reciprocal Health Care Agreement?
Reciprocal 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.
What is the Reciprocal Health Care Agreement United Kingdom?
The 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.
Under 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.
What Does the RHCA Cover?
The 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:
– Emergency treatment
– Treatment for pre-existing medical conditions
– Maternity care
– Prescription medication
– Access to medical specialists
– Hospital treatment
It’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.
How to Access Health Care Services Under the RHCA
If 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.
It’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.
The 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 RHCA can offer peace of mind and protection in the event of a medical emergency. | health |

Direct voter contact is so important to the health of our democracy, but how do you protect your canvassers from record-breaking summer heat? Here are five tips for keeping you and your canvassers safe in the summer heat.
1. Stay hydrated.
Make sure that you and your canvassers have access to plenty of cold water. The key is to drink as soon as you become thirsty. Even mild dehydration can hinder your body’s ability to regulate its core temperature. Water is the best option. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and sugary drinks. You can eat your water, too. Provide canvassers with snacks like apples and watermelon that are full of water.
2. Keep ice on hand at your headquarters or staging location.
Keep ice on hand at your HQ or staging location. You can place ice directly on your body to cool yourself down. Apply ice or a cold cloth directly to your cheeks and feet. Since those areas are both packed with blood vessels that don’t contract in the presence of cold, cooling these areas can lower your body temperature 50 percent more after 5 minutes than you would have by applying the same cold compresses to your neck and armpits, a Stanford University study found.
If you take a break in a restroom, hold your wrists under running cold water. This will help your body lose heat more rapidly.
3. Wear cool, breathable clothing.
Look for exercise clothing that is designed to wick away sweat away in the heat.
4. Start early.
On weekends, it’s generally considered acceptable to start knocking doors at 10 am. On voting day, you’ll want to catch people before work, so you will want to start knocking doors as early as 7 am.
5. Take breaks indoors or in the shade.
It is important to limit your sun exposure. Try to stay in the shade when you’re able to and take breaks in the shade throughout your canvass. Direct sun exposure can significantly affect your body temperature.
You may want to send your canvassers out for as long as possible, but in extreme heat, use good judgment. Bring canvassers back to your staging location every hour or two to rest and hydrate before sending them back out on the doors.
We’re so excited to see y’all connect with voters across the country this Summer. Make sure that you’re keeping yourselves and your team safe. If you begin to feel faint or weak at any point out in the sun, please stop immediately and seek relief from the heat. | health |

There are a lot of people today who use steroids in bodybuilding, it is a practice that has been known to be very rampant in the bodybuilding world. Over the years as well, there has been a lot of research in relation to the use of steroids and it has been found out that these are very dangerous for the body because of the negative effect they have. this means that steroids are supposed to be avoided especially when you want to live a healthy life. The problem however is the fact that many people are still interested in getting those muscle gains and therefore, they still continue using the steroids. Dealing with the negative effects is very important and that is why there are a lot of specialists that have been able to research on this. The use of SARMs which are selective androgen receptor modulators is the solution that has been found. The levels of benefits you will be able to get will be quite good. They are modulators, they are able to mimic the response that you get from the use of steroids that, they do not have the side effects.
For quite a lot of people who have been using the steroids, this is quickly becoming an option. There are usually very important guidelines that are used in this process, you need to be careful about that. The history behind the compounds is one thing that you may want to learn more about, it is always going to have a major impact on their types of results that you will be able to see. The moment you use them according to the guidelines, your results will always be good and that is always going to be a goal for you. One thing about these is that they have not yet been approved by the FDA, you need to know that. You may want to consider them because of the people that have been able to get some major benefits from using them. Muscle building is going to be possible and they are able to help you to boost the results that you can get from that.
The good thing about these is that they are able to avoid the issue of muscle wasting which has been a major, son for very many people today. Some of these can be suppressive and that is the reason why you have to be very careful. The half-life of these compounds is also going to be a major concern at some point. It’s possible for you to learn more about such today. | health |

The eyes of most patients heal on their own within six months without any additional treatment from their eye doctor.
A 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.
Halos 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.
Sensitivity to Light
Although 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.
This 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.
Dry 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.
Approximately 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.
Under 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.
Decrease in Best-Corrected Vision
After 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.
Corneal 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.
This 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.
This 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.
Even 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. Patients suffering from myopia which could still read without glasses may no longer be able to do that after surgery. If both eyes are not treated in the same time, the eyes might work awkward together in the period within the two treatments. | health |

Detection of a serological response to SARS-CoV-2 has been integral to our understanding of virus transmission, development of infection, and recovery from COVID-19.
This blog post, an abbreviated version of an article published in Pathology in Practice (May 2021), describes how the application of rapid COVID-19 antibody detection contributed to surveillance that informed how the pandemic was progressing in England.
Author: Carolyne Horner
A significant health burden
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the cause of COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019), an acute respiratory illness with a disease spectrum ranging from asymptomatic or mild symptoms (in most cases), to severe illness and life-threatening acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).1
Since the WHO announced pandemic status (11 March 2020),2 SARS-CoV-2 has become a significant health burden; to date, there have been greater than 537 million cases and over 6.3 million deaths worldwide.3
Accurate diagnosis of COVID-19
Accurate diagnosis of COVID-19 is fundamental for appropriate, effective and timely patient care, and reduction of disease transmission in the community.4 Diagnostic strategies serve different purposes and comprise detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA or antigen, or detection of antibody raised to SARS-CoV-2.
SARS-CoV-2 antigen tests are used to determine if a person is carrying the virus, either symptomatically or asymptomatically, and as such could be a source of infection to others. 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
SARS-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
Unlike 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.
Unlike 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
The Fortress COVID-19 Total Antibody Device
The 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.
Applications of COVID-19 antibody tests
Diagnostically, 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.
In 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
- identify/quantify the extent to which a population has been exposed to the virus,
- make predictions for how the pandemic may continue in the UK,
- characterise the epidemiology of the disease, such as identification of groups most at risk of infection of severe disease, and
- inform public health policy during the pandemic and longer term.
Inexpensive, 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.
Rapid COVID-19 antibody tests: associated caveats
As with any diagnostic test, there are certain caveats associated with the application and widespread rollout of rapid antibody tests.
While 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
Additionally, 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).
Identifying the Landmark UK COVID-19 Surveillance Programme
In 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.
The 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.
The programme comprises two parts:
- REACT 1: monthly home-based antigen testing to determine current SARS-CoV-2 infection levels, and
- REACT 2: six weekly home-based antibody testing to determine how many people have been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 and have developed antibodies.
The 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.
Further details of the REACT 2 programme and its seminal publications can be found in the reference list and resource box.
Rapid antibody testing supported the roadmap out of lockdown
The 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.
