Slides with tissue sections were rinsed in Tris buffer three times and blocked for 1 hour in 3% normal goat serum (InVitrogen, Carlsbad CA) (for albumin, F4/80, CD-34) or 3% normal rabbit serum (for biotin). Each primary antibody was tested parametrically, in dilutions of Tris buffer in blocking solution, to determine the optimal antibody concentration to be used. The albumin antibody (Bethyl Labs; Montgomery TX) labeled with FITC was used at 1:500; the biotin antibody (Abcam; Cambridge MA) labeled with FITC was used at 1:500; the macrophage (Kupffer cell) antibody F/4/80 (Serotec, Raleigh NC) was used at 1:1000; the GFAP antibody (Dako; Carpinteria CA) was used at 1:3000; and the CD-34 antibody (Vector Labs) was used at 1:100. Sections were exposed to primary antibodies at room temperature and in the dark, overnight (16–18hr). The following day, slides were rinsed in Tris buffer three times. The sections for F4/80 then were incubated for 2 hours with either Alexa 488 or Alexa 546 goat anti-rat IgG at 1:1000 (Invitrogen; Carlsbad CA), sections for GFAP were incubated with either Alexa 488 or Alexa 546 goat anti-rabbit, at 1:1000 and sections for CD-34 were incubated with Alexa 488 goat anti-mouse at 1:1000. Following incubation, slides were rinsed with Tris buffer and coverslipped with Vectashield anti-fade fluorescent mounting medium with DAPI; DAPI served as a fluorescent (ultraviolet – UV) stain for cell nuclei.
Four groups of NOD and db/db mice were studied: non-diabetic, diabetic with normal emptying, diabetic with delayed gastric emptying, and diabetic with delayed gastric emptying reversed by the HO1 inducer hemin. Whole-mount samples from stomach were labeled in triplicate with antisera against F4/80, HO1, and CD206 and macrophages were quantified in stacked confocal images. Markers for macrophage subtypes were measured by quantitative PCR.
For immunofluorescence staining of adipose tissues, epididymal adipose tissues were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, after which epididymal fat was removed and minced into small pieces (~2 to 3 mm). The tissue pieces were boiled in 10 mM citrate buffer for 15 min and treated with 0.3% Triton X-100 in Tris-buffered saline (TBS; 150 mM NaCl and 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0)) for 10 min. Then, the tissue pieces were blocked with TBS containing 10% normal goat serum for 1 h at room temperature. In some experiments, Hoechst 33342 (Dojindo) and BODIPY (Molecular Probes) were added to the blocking solution. The tissue pieces were incubated with a primary antibody overnight at 4°C and then washed and probed with Alexa-conjugated secondary reagents. For immunofluorescence staining of pancreas, paraffin sections of pancreas were deparaffinized and rehydrated. The sections were boiled in 10 mM citrate buffer for 15 min and treated with 0.3% Triton X-100 in TBS for 10 min. Then, the sections were blocked with TBS containing 10% normal goat serum for 1 h at room temperature. Thereafter, sections were incubated with blocking solution containing primary antibodies and Hoechst 33342 overnight at 4°C. Finally, the sections were washed and probed with Alexa-conjugated secondary reagents. Fluorescent images were taken with an A1 confocal microscope configured with a Ti-E inverted microscope (Nikon). The number of crown-like structures (CLS) was determined by counting the total number of CLS in a 1 mm2 visual field. | health |

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

Updated: Aug 14, 2021
After creating dreadlocks done, it's prime time to start paying more attention to your hair roots and scalp. A dry and itchy scalp can be due to a lack of attention to your scalp. The dreads themselves don't make your head itch but there are several reasons that people with new dreads experience itchiness.
Healthy, happy, mature dreads should not itch. If your dreads itch it is probably due to a dry scalp, build up on the scalp, washing the scalp with the wrong soap, not washing enough, or washing the scalp too many times.
In this blog, I’m going to share the best home remedies that are designed specifically to ease an itchy scalp caused by dreadlocks.
#1 – Peppermint Hydrolysis (Hydrosol) spray
It’s always preferred to use peppermint hydrolysis spray than peppermint oil. Peppermint hydrolysis spray is better than peppermint oil because it helps to reduce Itch quicker comparatively.
Peppermint has stimulant properties. Spray it on your scalp once or twice a day to reduce itch and to stimulate hair growth by revitalizing the hair follicles. It can be stored in the fridge, as cold also provide relief to the itchy scalp.
#2 - Spray with Lavender Oil
Lavender oil is extremely effective for hair and itchy scalp treatment especially to take care of newly created dreads locks.
It not only calms down the itchy scalp but also helps hair growth, increases hair follicles as well as soothes dry scalp. Lavender Oil will give your scalp and hair a healthy treat since it has antibacterial properties and kills fungus.
Its anti-bacterial property leaves your dreads protected against many forms of scalp irritants. This medicinal oil nourishes and moisturizes both scalp and dreadlocks.
#3 - Use Tea Tree Essential Oil
Tea Tree essential oil is a great way to care for your dreadlocks! Very easy to use, just add water in the spray bottle and 4-6 drops of tea tree oil and you are ready to rock your dreads with a few splashes in the roots.
You and your hair will feel new and refreshed again. Tea tree essential oil has a warm, fresh and spicy aroma. I personally use it and supply it as well.
#4 – Dreadlocks Deep Cleaning with baking soda and apple cider vinegar
To get rid of Itchy scalp with dreadlocks it’s vital to deep clean your dreads. For this, you need to wash your dreads using baking soda with shampoo. After that, it is vital to rinse with apple cider vinegar because it brings your scalp back to a normal PH.
Apple cider vinegar also kills bacteria and fungus, softens the locks, and stimulates hair growth. It makes itchy down and also nourishes the scalp.
In fact, apple cider vinegar is the best idea overall if you have caked residue and can't get rid of it otherwise. The vinegar is acidic in nature and will dissolve the build-up without hurting your dreads.
#5 – Use DIY exfoliating scrub
Exfoliating the scalp is another technique you can use to remove flakes easily and remove the itch. Your scalp is an extension of your face and should be treated with the same care. It is very important to remove build-up off of the scalp in a way that is gentle and maintains the
Put This paste on Scalp, Massage It. And then Wash it out with shampoo and use apple soda vinegar to rinse
Mix ingredients in a small bowl well before applying. Apply the paste on your scalp and Massage it very well into scalp in circular motions for several minutes. Rinse it without shampoo, also rinse with apple soda vinegar and style as usual.
#6 – Keep Scalp Dry
Try to keep the scalp as dry as possible to maintain healthy dreads. If you live in a humid area make sure to wash you scalp once a week.
If you wash your dreadlocks more than twice a week, try to reduce that frequency gradually to once per week. Washing too frequently, especially with a harsh shampoo, may strip your scalp of too many oils and lead to a dry, itchy scalp with dreadlocks.
#7 - Massage your scalp
When you do massage, it stimulates your scalp you are unknowingly removing old skin cells that keep the scalp skin healthy and prominently, a nice head massage increases blood circulation to your scalp. Healthy blood flow to your scalp means a healthy well-nourished scalp.
Most people with dreads experience Itchy Scalp at some point. So, you shouldn’t feel like you’re fighting this battle alone! I hope you’ve learned a lot from this blog, apply my best recommendations to reduce your Itchy Dreads & Dandruff issues.
Wash the dreadlocks a lot more, take time to get more maintenance, but don’t compromise with scalp health and itch. A good Journey is more important. If you have any questions or recommendations of your own, feel free to leave a comment below. | health |

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

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

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

As we prioritize our well-being, leveraging technology, particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI), can be a game-changer. Discover six AI tools designed to improve your wellbeing and work-life balance.
The rising need for workplace wellness
Employee wellbeing is high on the agenda, according to a recent Deloitte and Workplace Intelligence study. Employees are increasingly prioritizing their physical, financial, and mental health. But here's the rub: While this focus on wellness is commendable, there's a disconnect. With workweeks stretching longer and stress levels rocketing, finding the time to address wellbeing is a challenge.
AI: Your ally in achieving wellbeing
As the old saying goes, there's an app for that! Indeed, AI platforms are stepping in to bridge the gap between our wellness goals and our bustling work lives. These tools, designed to help you achieve work-life balance, can make it easier to maintain a daily focus on your health. The assistance they offer doesn't end when Mental Health Awareness Month does. These tools are here to support you year-round, allowing you a more comfortable journey towards sustained wellbeing.
Meet your AI wellness companions
Allow me to introduce you to your new wellbeing buddies. These six AI tools might just be the productivity boost and wellness guide you need. There's Reclaim.ai, which aids in scheduling and optimizing productivity; Headspace, your guide to meditation and focus music; Welltory, which uses AI to analyze stress levels; Todoist, to manage tasks effectively; Breathhh, that suggests mental health exercises at opportune moments; and finally, MealMind, an AI-powered meal-planner. Each has its unique strengths, and together, they could revolutionize the way you approach wellbeing at work.
Before you jump headfirst into the world of AI wellbeing tools, let's talk about the fine print. Some people advocate for AI chatbots as companions to process emotions. While this sounds futuristic and cool, it's crucial to approach with caution. These chatbots can potentially lead to unhealthy habits or provide biased and potentially harmful advice. As with any tool, it's essential to understand the pros and cons, and to use it wisely.
The world of AI is speeding ahead at warp factor 9, and there's more out there than we can keep pace with. But don't let that daunt you. Start small, perhaps with one or two of the tools we've discussed. As you begin to experience the benefits—less burnout, increased productivity, and renewed energy—you may find yourself wanting to explore more. After all, the future of workplace wellness is here, and it's powered by AI. | health |
https://livewellpharmacy.co.uk/benefits-of-quitting-smoking/ | 2023-12-03T21:16:11 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100508.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20231203193127-20231203223127-00098.warc.gz | 0.963209 | 470 | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-50__0__178130373 | en | The earlier you quit smoking, the more you’re likely to benefit.
But it’s never too late – because quitting will improve your health whatever your age and no matter how long you have smoked.
Better physical health
Every time you smoke a cigarette, your body is flooded with thousands of chemicals, many of which are poisonous.
The day you stop, your body starts clearing itself of all those nasty toxins and the repair process begins.
You’ll notice some benefits within days or weeks:
- your senses of taste and smell improve
- you start to breathe more easily
- you have more energy
Other benefits will follow, including:
- better blood circulation to your heart and muscles, which will make physical activity easier
- improved lung function, leading to reductions in any cough, wheezing or other breathing problems
Reduced risks of smoking-related diseases
Your longer-term risks of cancer, lung disease, heart disease and stroke will be significantly reduced, and:
- after 1 year, risk of heart attack halves compared to a smoker’s
- after 10 years, risk of death from lung cancer falls to half that of a smoker
- after 15 years, risk of heart attack falls to the same as someone who has never smoked
You will also be less likely to develop type 2 diabetes, bone disease including osteoporosis, eye disease and dementia.
Better mental health
You may think that smoking supports your mental wellbeing, and helps you to relax, deal with stress and anxiety, and cope with life’s difficulties.
In fact, the opposite is true. Stopping smoking boosts mental health and wellbeing.
Evidence shows that after the withdrawal stage of quitting, people have reduced anxiety, depression and stress.
People who have quit also have increased positive mood compared with people who continue to smoke.
Better for your family and friends
For some people, a big reason for stopping smoking is to be there for their family and friends.
If you have stopped smoking and are physically and mentally healthy, you’re more likely to be able to support your loved ones – and be a part of their life in the future.
Also, becoming a smoke-free role model means your children are much less likely to take up smoking. | health |

Consider keeping your child home if they:
- Have a fever of 100.1 degrees or higher
- Have been vomiting
- Have symptoms preventing them from participating in school such as:
- Excessive tiredness or lack of appetite
- Productive coughing or sneezing, inability to consistently cover cough/sneeze
- Headache, body aches, earache
- Sore throat
Keep your child home until their fever has been gone for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medication. Colds can be contagious for at least 48 hours. Although your child's presence in school is important, returning to school too soon may slow the recovery process and expose others unnecessarily to illness.
Do I need to notify school personnel if my child will be absent?
Yes. Please report any absences using the following:
Attendance Phone Numbers:
- Bethlehem Elementary School - (203) 266-7506 x1
- Mitchell Elementary School - (203) 263-4314 x1
- Woodbury Middle School - (203) 263-4306 x1
- Nonnewaug High School - (203) 263-2186 x1
If your child's attendance pattern is affecting school performance, you may be contacted to discuss a plan to ensure maximum school attendance while addressing your child's individual health needs.
What do I do if my child needs medication during the school day?
An "Authorization for the Administration of Medicine" (doctor's order) is required for any medication that is to be given at any Region 14 school. This includes prescribed and over the counter medications, Advil, Tylenol, eye drops, cough drops, hydrocortisone creams, sunscreen, etc. The form must be signed by your medical provider (Physician, Physicians Assistant, APRN, Dentist, or Optometrist licensed to prescribe medication in accordance with state law. Please note that orders cannot be accepted from a Naturopathic Doctor). The "Authorization for the Administration of Medicine" form is available in the main office and health office or you can download and print it from the Health Forms tab above.
Can I send in medication to school with my child?
Medication cannot be sent to school with a child (for example lactaid tablets, vitamins). It must be delivered to the school nurse by an adult. Medication must be delivered in the original container/packaging. Prescription medication must have a current and complete prescription label from the packing pharmacy. An "Authorization for the Administration of Medicine" form must be completed and signed by the prescribing physician.
What do I do if my child has an injury or illness and cannot participate in Physical Education (Gym) or Recess activities?
It is expected that students will arrive at school available to learn and ready to participate fully in all activities within the school day. If your child has an injury or illness that prevents full participation, communication from your medical provider is required specifying activities that must be modified or avoided. For a child to be excused from physical education due to illness or injury a physician's order is required.
Will my child need a physical exam yearly?
A physical exam is required before the start of kindergarten, or if your child is entering school in Connecticut for the first time. The entry physical must have been done within one year prior to your child's starting school date. An annual physical is not required, but one may be requested if your child has medical issues that require school planning. If your child should receive any immunizations, please forward the update to the school nurse. The "Health Assessment Record (entry to grades K-12)" form is available in the main office and health office or you can download and print it from the Health Forms tab above.
Can you talk to my child's doctor directly about his/her health or school matters?
School nurses can contact your medical provider directly to discuss required school immunizations, questions regarding active medication orders, and questions related to your child's physical exam. Any other communication will require a parent or guardian's written permission. The "Permssion to Release Records Form" form is available in the main office and health office or you can download and print it from the Health Forms tab above.
Are Health Screenings Performed each year?
Screenings are performed according to the following schedule:
- Vision & Hearing: K, 1, 3, 4, 5
- Postural: Grades 5 & 7 for females, Grades 8 or 9 for males
A parent and/or teacher may request a re-screening at any time during the academic year. If a student has failed a screening a individual referral will be sent home. | health |

Over the course of three years, this groundbreaking initiative has not only reached its ambitious goal but has also played a pivotal role in strengthening the Jimmy Everest Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders. The generous contributions from esteemed donors, including Keaton’s Kindness Foundation, Officials vs. Cancer, Cancer Sucks, MidFirst Bank, CMN Hospitals national partners, Drew Neville Charity Classic, Stanton L. Young Family Foundation, Friends of Jimmy Everest Center, and countless community donors across Oklahoma, have been instrumental in driving the initiative’s success.
The $6 million Children’s Health Cancer Initiative has a specific and impactful purpose – to support the research efforts of three new cancer research endowed Chairholders. These Chairs, named after inspiring figures, include the CHF Tripp Lewallen Research Chair, the CHF Bobby Murcer Research Chair, and the CHF Inasmuch Foundation Research Chair. These positions are critical for advancing groundbreaking research and ensuring a sustainable future for pediatric cancer treatment.
Beyond the financial contributions of major organizations, the success of the initiative is a testament to the power of community unity. The support from local donors across the state of Oklahoma has been invaluable, highlighting the collective commitment to improving the lives of children facing cancer. | health |

Marga Odahowski, Director of Studies at the International Residence College and faculty member at UVA, returned to Morven for Block B to lead a second mindful session with our new group of students. They learned simple breathing exercises and how to do a “full body check” to become more aware of each part of the body. The group also experienced mindful eating with the raisin exercise – slowly tasting and chewing a raisin to appreciate every aspect of a single morsel of nutritious food.
After Marga’s morning session, both classes jumped into work, powering through the day with only a few short breaks. The afternoon segment of the Farmers’ Market class featured guest speaker Stacy Miller, the Executive Director of the Farmers Market Coalition. Stacy has worked on every end of farmers’ markets and provided invaluable insight on the challenges that markets face.
The Food and Nutrition class had a very different agenda. They headed out to the Kitchen Garden to do preliminary research. Each student will study the same set of plants every other day for signs of plant deterioration from pests. The Kitchen Garden uses only organic pesticides and sparingly so – it’ll be interesting to see what the class’s research shows. | health |

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

After hitting their head in an accident children can show – also after a period without any complaints – symptoms which indicate a cranio-cerebral injury (hematoma below the cranial bone, swelling of the brain, etc.).
In case these symptoms occur you have to see immediately a doctor with your child.
Important symptoms are
- Within 24 hours after the accicent
(mostly require monitoring in the hospital)
- Modification or loss of consciousness, slow reactions
- Difficult arousal
- Pupils not bilaterally equal
- Double vision, unclear vision
- Swaying gait, paralysis
- Altered behavior (continuous crying, etc.)
- Paleness, dizziness, vomiting, sickness, breathing difficulties
- Permanent deviation of the eyes
- Within 2-3 days after the accident
- Fever, headache, stiff neck
- Increasing retardation of behavior, drowsiness and every symptom listed above
- 2 – 3 weeks after the accident
- Growing head circumference (in babies), notable gap or pace in the cranium
- Fatigue, aggressiveness, loss of appetite
- Altered behavior
- Continuous headache
If your child shows any of these symptoms after an accident, consult your doctor immediately in order to avoid further complications. | health |

https://taylorwalton.com/can-an-employer-require-an-employee-to-take-a-covid-19-vaccination-february-2021/ | 2023-06-06T12:03:54 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224652569.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20230606114156-20230606144156-00702.warc.gz | 0.956827 | 1,102 | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-23__0__237255199 | en | There is no legal provision which permits an employer to require an employee to take one of the COVID-19 vaccines. However, one employer has already publicly announced that he intends to make taking the vaccine a condition of employment and it is likely that other employers may wish to follow his example. Therefore, what is the legal position in this area? In short, compulsory vaccines is a legal minefield and employers will need to be very careful how they approach the matter. The following article explores the issues.
Under section 2 of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (HSWA 1974) an employer must take all reasonably practicable steps to reduce workplace risks to their lowest practicable level. Additionally, under section 7 of the HSWA 1974, an employee has a duty to co-operate as necessary with the employer to enable it to comply with any statutory requirements including reducing workplace risks. Moreover, employees will want to be reassured that they are working in a safe environment. However, this is unlikely to extend to employees being legally required to take the vaccine in all business sectors and we will have to wait for further guidance from the Government on what measures an employer may be required to take.
The meaning of “reasonableness” is likely to depend on the business sector of the employer and the services it provides. For example, the request of an employer operating in the social care sector for its employees to take the vaccination could be argued to be a ‘reasonable management request’ as refusing to take the vaccination could pose severe risk to fellow employees and patients and thereby threatening the business. Therefore, dismissal in such circumstances could fall within the range of reasonable responses for the employer to dismiss the employee fairly, either on conduct grounds or for some other substantial reason.
The position in other sectors is likely to be less clear and in any event, an employer should proceed with caution before deciding to dismiss. Employers will need to consider other available alternatives which may include moving the employee to another role involving less contact with clients or other employees.
In all sectors, the employer will also need to consider carefully the circumstances of the individual employee. The risks include discrimination on the grounds of religion and belief, disability, pregnancy and breaking data protection legislation as well as unfair dismissal if the employee has unfair dismissal rights.
Religion and Belief
It is unlikely that an “anti-vax’ belief amounts to a philosophical belief for the purposes of the Equality Act 2010. However, not all vaccines in production have released their list of ingredients and it is possible that gelatine may have been used in some vaccines or in its production process and therefore, an employee with certain religious beliefs or vegans may have religious or philosophical grounds for refusing to take the vaccination.
If an employee has been advised by their doctor not to take the vaccine on medical grounds an employer’s requirement to take the vaccine may amount to disability discrimination. Even if the employee is not disabled, a Tribunal may find that the request to the employee to go against medical advice is an unreasonable request in any event.
An employee’s fear of needles (trypanophobia) may also amount to a disability and therefore the employer would need to consider whether it could provide alternative working arrangements for example, working from home on a permanent basis.
Pregnancy and maternity discrimination
Public Health England advice states that “women should be advised not to attend for vaccination if they are, or may be, pregnant, or are planning a pregnancy within three months of the first dose. Vaccinated women who are not pregnant should be advised to avoid becoming pregnant for two months after the second dose of vaccine”.
Therefore, a requirement to take the vaccine as a condition of employment for a pregnant employee, or an employee planning a pregnancy, is likely to amount to sex discrimination, pregnancy/maternity discrimination.
Personal data collected in connection with an employee’s vaccination records will be sensitive personal data or special category personal data and will need to be processed in accordance with GDPR.
Is it legal to collect such data?
The answer to this is whether the employer, as a data controller, has a legitimate interest or legal obligation to collect vaccine information due to the nature of their business. A care home owner may well be justified or may become legally obliged to do so whereas for an office role, the requirements to have such information is less clear cut.
On the face of it, an employer’s requirement for an employee to have a COVID vaccine appears a ‘reasonable instruction’ in order to keep other work colleagues safe in the work place. However, the positon is far more complex and raises numerous legal issues which will need to take into account the requirements of the employer and the individual circumstances of the employee.
As the vaccine rolls out across the age groups, employers will need to keep abreast of the Government public health guidance in relation to the pandemic and start to develop their own COVID-19 pandemic policies to take into account the implications of the vaccine in the workplace. Whilst the arrival of the vaccine is a huge relief for everyone, the vaccine should be seen as the next chapter in the pandemic story and sadly not the end.

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

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

She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from West Chester University of Pennsylvania in 2008, during which she was introduced to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and pediatric feeding therapy while working with a child receiving services through Southeastern Pennsylvania Autism Resource Center.
Captivated with helping children overcome feeding challenges, Stephanie earned her Master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) from Pennsylvania State University, Harrisburg in 2010. During this time, she completed a graduate study internship at Penn State Hershey Medical Center's Pediatric Feeding Program and her Master’s thesis involving repeated taste exposure to treat severe food selectivity for children with autism.
Upon graduation, she relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area to join the team at Clinic 4 Kidz (C4K), an intensive home-based pediatric feeding program. Over the next 10 years she developed and implemented extensive, efficacious treatment plans for children with various feeding difficulties designed to be completed in familiar settings such as the home or in school. Stephanie's research alongside Dr. Meeta Patel at C4K was published in 2023 in the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis on Using an intensive interdisciplinary Telehealth model to treat pediatric feeding disorders.
As a mother of three young children, one of whom is neurodivergent, Stephanie understands the impact behavioral challenges can have on a family's daily life along with the stress that feeding difficulties can cause. Returning to Pennsylvania, Stephanie became a Licensed Behavior Specialist (LBS) through the Pennsylvania State Medical Board in 2023 and founded Mealtime Together, LLC to provide Pittsburgh families with the support and tools they need to overcome feeding challenges in their own home.
Mealtime Together is dedicated to staying up-to-date with the latest research and best practices in feeding therapy. We regularly attend conferences to expand our collective knowledge and skills. Further, we collaborate with other healthcare professionals, such as pediatricians and speech therapists, to ensure that your child receives comprehensive and coordinated care. At Mealtime Together, we are committed to helping your child develop a positive relationship with food that will last a lifetime.

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

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

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

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

This is an excellent resource on all levels of anxiety management, as demonstrated in the program's name and steps: B (body signals) R (relax) A (activate helpful thoughts) V (victory over fears) E (enjoy yourself).
BRAVE being an online self-help tool supports those kids and teenagers who are reluctant to go into face-face counselling and those who are in regional areas with little access to mental health facilities. But it's really for all kids who are struggling with this particular monster. It can be used with parent support (helpful for younger children who may have reading difficulties) or it can be entirely self directed.
Giving kids the tools to manage anxiety sets them up well. It gives them a gift that they can continue to use and modify as they get older.

Are you looking for natural ways to improve your health? Are you searching for simple yet healthy recipes?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then natural lemon beverages are the perfect solution for you. In this article, you'll learn how to create delicious and healthy lemon beverages using natural ingredients and gain an understanding of the amazing health benefits these drinks can provide.
We’ll discuss the ingredients needed to prepare these drinks, the instructions on how to make them, and the amazing health benefits that can be experienced. Finally, we’ll wrap up by examining how lemon beverages can play a role in weight loss, improved digestion, boosted immunity, reduced stress, increased energy, and clearer skin.
So let's get started!
Ingredients NeededWhen it comes to preparing natural lemon beverages, there are just a few simple ingredients you will need. The most important and basic ingredient is lemons. They should be of the highest quality and always organic in order to obtain the best flavor and the highest levels of nutrients. In addition to lemons, you will also require filtered water, ideally cold, and natural sweetener of your choice if desired.
For those taking a more advanced approach, spices such as ground ginger, cayenne pepper, and/or mint leaves can be added to bring out unique flavors and even further enhance the health benefits. Additionally, if looking to add a bit of extra nutrition, herbs like basil and chamomile can be used.
No matter the ingredients used, natural lemon beverages offer a tremendous array of health benefits. Primarily, their high levels of Vitamin C and antioxidants can help to ward of common illnesses, such as colds and flus, by boosting the body’s natural immune system. Additionally, regular consumption can help to aid digestion, reduce inflammation, and even help to improve energy levels.
InstructionsNatural lemon beverages are a refreshing, healthy and simple way to enjoy the health benefits of lemons. Here are the steps to preparing natural lemon beverages at home.
- Lemons (1-2 per serving)
- Honey or other sweetener (optional)
Step 1: Wash the lemons with cold water.
Step 2: Slice the lemons into thin slices and place in a large pitcher or glass.
Step 3: Add cold water, enough to cover the lemons, and let sit for at least 15 minutes.
Step 4: Strain the liquid, discarding the lemon slices.
Step 5: Add honey or other sweetener to taste, if desired.
Step 6: Serve the lemon beverage chilled, over ice, and enjoy!
Preparing natural lemon beverages at home is a simple and delicious way to reap the amazing health benefits of lemons. Lemons are an excellent source of vitamin C and helps support the immune system, helps maintain healthy skin, and contains the enzyme limonene, which helps fight inflammation. Natural lemon beverages may also aid in digestion, help lower blood pressure, and may help reduce the risk of certain types of cancer. So take a few moments to whip up a natural lemon beverage and enjoy the many health benefits it provides!
Health BenefitsNatural lemon beverages offer an abundance of health benefits that can help improve overall wellbeing. Lemons contain high levels of vitamin C which can help strengthen the body's immune system, as well as help to reduce inflammation in the body. Studies have also suggested that lemons can aid in digestion and help to prevent certain types of cancers.
Lemons are known to have a positive effect on cardiovascular health as well. The vitamin C and antioxidants contained in lemons can help to reduce the risk for hypertension, stroke, and heart disease. Additionally, a compound in lemons called D-limonene has been found to help reduce cholesterol levels and decrease triglyceride levels in the blood.
The high levels of potassium contained in lemon juice can also help to reduce the risk for kidney stones, and can help to increase the efficiency of nerve and muscle function. Lemon juice can also help to reduce nausea and prevent bloating.
Furthermore, the alkaline nature of lemon juice can help to balance the acid-alkaline levels of the body. This balance can help to improve overall physical and mental health, reduce fatigue and improve energy levels, and improve circulation.
Including natural lemon beverages in your daily diet is a great way to enjoy these amazing health benefits. As with any dietary change, it is important to consult your physician prior to making any drastic changes to your diet.
Weight LossOne of the most amazing benefits of drinking natural lemon beverages is its ability to support weight loss. In addition to helping the body take in fewer calories and burn them more efficiently, natural lemon beverages have strong anti-oxidant properties that can help reduce inflammation and flush out toxins from the body. Furthermore, natural lemon beverages can help reduce bloating and keep your digestive system running smoothly. Additionally, they provide an excellent source of vitamin C, which can boost your metabolism, giving your body a natural energy boost. Drinking natural lemon beverages can help support your weight loss goals by helping to reduce calorie intake, flush out toxins, and boost metabolism.
Improved DigestionNatural lemon beverages are known for their natural detoxifying properties, which can help with improved digestion. Lemons are rich in vitamin C and dietary fiber, helping to cleanse your digestive system and promoting good bacteria in the gut. The acidic nature of lemons also aids digestion, as it works to break down proteins and fats more effectively. Drinking a glass of natural lemon beverage can help to reduce bloating, prevent indigestion, and add essential minerals and vitamins to your diet.
Boosts ImmunityLemon beverages are an excellent way to boost immunity. The vitamin C found in lemons helps the body fight off infections and boosts immunity. Additionally, the antioxidants and other compounds in lemons help to protect the body from free radicals and other toxins. Drinking lemon water on a daily basis can help improve overall health and well-being. Additionally, lemon juice also helps to flush toxins from the body and reduce inflammation, which can help improve immunity.
Lemon beverages, whether consumed hot or cold, can reduce stress levels in many individuals. The pleasant, citrus aroma of lemons can help to reduce heart rate and blood pressure, while consuming lemon beverages with honey can help to relax the body and mind. The combination of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in lemon beverages can help to reduce anxiety and improve overall mood. Lemon beverages are also known to aid in digestion, which can help the body to better handle stress. | health |

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

The word ‘Sitali’ in Sanskrit means "cooling.” This breathing technique helps to cool the body and calm the mind, perfect to practice in the heat of summer!
How to practice:
Sit in any comfortable position, exhale whatever breath is in the lungs. Keep the head level and spine tall. Fully extend and curl the tongue from the sides inwards, with the mouth open.
Inhale through the mouth, allowing the air to cool the tongue and fill the lungs completely. After a full in breath, withdraw the tongue and close the mouth. Retain the breath for a count or two.
Exhale slowly out through the nostrils.
This completes one cycle of Sitali. Repeat for 6-8 breath cycles. Finish with a few minutes of normal breathing before lying down in Savasana. | health |

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

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

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

The general consensus is that tap water in Medellin is safe to drink.
The city's water treatment plants use a combination of physical, chemical, and biological processes to remove impurities and contaminants from the water before it is distributed to homes and businesses. These processes are regulated by the local government and are designed to ensure that the water meets the standards set by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Despite these efforts, however, some visitors to Medellin still prefer to drink bottled water due to concerns about the taste and quality of the tap water. While the city has reduced the amount of chlorine in its water in recent years, some people still find the taste and smell of tap water to be unpleasant. Another concern about the quality of tap water in Medellin is the possibility of contamination due to old, rusted steel pipes in older buildings.
Despite these concerns, it's important to remember that tap water in Medellin is still generally safe to drink. In fact, many locals and expats in Medellin drink tap water on a daily basis without any problems. If you are planning to visit or live in Medellin and are concerned about the safety of tap water, there are a few steps you can take to ensure that you are drinking safe and clean water:
Invest in a water filter: One of the best ways to improve the taste and quality of tap water in Medellin is to invest in a good water filter. There are a variety of water filters on the market that can remove impurities and contaminants from tap water, including activated carbon filters, reverse osmosis filters, and ultraviolet light filters.
Boil water before drinking: If you are unsure about the safety of tap water in a particular area, you can boil it before drinking. Boiling water for at least one minute will kill most bacteria and other contaminants, making it safe to drink.
Use bottled water: If you are still concerned about the safety of tap water in Medellin, you can opt to drink bottled water instead. While bottled water can be more expensive, it is a convenient and reliable way to ensure that you are drinking clean and safe water.
In conclusion, while there are still some concerns about the safety and quality of tap water in Medellin, it is generally safe to drink. Whether you choose to drink tap water or opt for bottled water, it's important to stay hydrated and take care of your health while traveling or living in Medellin.
There are a number of brands of bottled water that you can buy in Medellin, including Cristal, Brisa and Manantial amongst others. A 600ml bottle of water from a shop costs about 1,000 COP, The same bottle will be 5,000 COP or more in a restaurant. In local neighborhood shops you might also see drinking water sold in small plastic bags, you drink them by biting off a corner of the bag.
At a restaurant you can ask for tap water however it's amazing how many waiters in Medellin will forget to bring it.
There are several companies that deliver the large containers of water but the easiest option is to speak to your local tienda. They will deliver a full bottle and then when you need a refill they will deliver a new bottle and take the empty one.
If you prefer a water filter the best options are at Homecenter. | health |

It is a privilege for me to introduce you to Victory Nutrition International, Inc. Our VNI finished products are validated by peer-reviewed science published in respected and cited journals most of which are available on PubMed.
First, a brief background on me. I was in the premium quality evidence-based nutritional raw ingredient business for 24 years. I introduced some of the most popular ingredients to the natural products market: IE: Super CitriMax® (Garcinia Cambogia); ChromeMate® (oxygen coordinated chromium polynicotinate); ActiVin® (the first proprietary water-extracted grape seed extract that opened the flood-gates for the botanical antioxidants genre like OPCs); L-OptiZinc®, AlgaeCal® (a proprietary Algae-based Calcium & mineral supplement that became the #1 most popular selling calcium supplement in the natural products industry (New Chapter Bone Strength Take Care); Garden of Life Raw Calcium, Nature’s Plus Source of Life Garden Calcium, etc.). I have been researching biochemistry, nutrition, genetics, and the cause of chronic degenerative diseases for over 34 years and now have over 100 papers published in the peer-reviewed scientific literature. Over 30 of those published papers are available on PubMed: (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=downs+b).
Scientists on VNI’s Scientific Advisory Board have a combined total of around 1,000 published research papers on PubMed (and continually growing). Dr. Steve Kushner, my colleague, specializes in natural and bioenergetic therapies and nutrition. He has been a product formulator for over 30 years.
VNI products are distinctly unique to anything else in the market. We now have 48 published clinical studies on our finished products with 3 patents and 2 patents pending. Our products are exclusive to VNI Customers and Partners.
I invite you to review research on our finished products at www.VNIScience.com and watch webinars I’ve done on each of our products at www.VNI.life.
Prodovite® is a patent-pending Prodosomed® iron-free liquid vitamin, mineral and phytonutrient dietary supplement that has been shown to restore iron-dependent hemoglobin to red blood cells in 5 minutes or less, that was sustained for at least 30 minutes. The clinical study was published in Food & Nutrition Research and is available on PubMed at the following link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6510707/. Provide is essentially “liquid blood food” and is nutrition that gets absorbed in 5 minutes or less (i.e. Nutrition That Gets In®).
N-Sorb™ is a unique Prodosomed® multi-enzyme complex that is engineered to be activated in a pH of 6.5 to 8.5; the pH of the body’s tissues on the other side of the GI tract. Being Prodosomed, N-Sorb enzymes gain rapid access to the bloodstream. The abstract for a clinical study published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition (JACN) is available on PubMed at the following link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30971174. Aside from promoting a better quality of sleep, importantly, this study demonstrates that N-Sorb enzymes promote healthy properties of the blood and immune function.
Brain Reward (a KB220Z/BR Neuroadaptogen) is a patented nutrigenomic technology that now has 43 published clinical studies validating its ability to nutritionally optimize Serotonin, Enkephalin, Endorphin, GABA and Dopamine Functions. Brain Reward’s benefit claims are approved by our regulatory attorneys. Brain Reward reduces cravings and enhances focus, energy, recovery, stress relief, weight management, mental sharpness, and overall health.
To provide DNA Designed Precision Nutrition™ for the brain (which manages all the body’s functions), we introduced the patented GARS gene test. The GARS test is the ideal tool to evaluate or assess the potential risk (low, med or high) for engaging in potentially unhealthy excessive reward-seeking, self-gratifying behaviors. Results of the GARS test will indicate which patented RestoreGen nutrigenomic formula should be taken with the patented Brain Reward to optimize the gene expression that rebalances the synthesis, transport, reception, and reuptake of neurotransmitters specific to the patient’s brain. It is beneficial for everyone to have the GARS gene test done.
ThionExtra doesn’t yet have published clinical research on the finished product. However, in compliance with the highest scientific standards, the ThionExtra formula relies on science-based ingredients to achieve extraordinary results. It is a wonderfully effective antioxidant and immune booster, significantly promoting glutathione and SOD functions.
I want to thank you for taking the time to review the merits of our products. Being a bit of a fanatic about premium quality and scientific validation, I can promise you that VNI will never waste your time; jeopardize your credibility, reputation, or relationships; risk the health of your patients, or waste anybody’s money.
I know that everyone in the VNI family looks forward to supporting your introduction and engagement with VNI.
With sincere respect,

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

Our Clinical Microbiology Software (CLMB) was certified on Friday, November 17th, 2017 after successfully passing the certification of software support for medical microbiology with parasitology.
The list of companies that passed the certification can be seen here:
This way we got the green light to connect all of our microbiology to Cezih.
What does that mean?
Institutions that use our software don’t need to do anything new because their software for microbiology will be connected to Cezih automatically. Microbiology that does not have certified software, but wants to connect to Cezih, needs to get certifications for existing software or switch to a different already certified program.
What is the purpose of this?
All of this is done so that the microbiological medical records (e-Records) could be displayed on the primary health doctor’s PC soon after they are signed in a lab. Additionally, the requirement for written inserts of patient information and medical referrals from Conciliar Specialists is eliminated. All the patient data are available through the Croatian health care institute web service, and all medical referral data is downloaded from Cezih with one click.
If you add to it our sample and work order barcoding you get a paperless (and tonerless) laboratory. | health |

Type 2 immune response is elicited when encountered parasitic pathogen to facilitate worm clearance and restrain worm reproductivity. In the immune regulation, nuclear receptor is master regulator via sensing hormone or endocrine-like component from the endogeny or external environment. Liver X receptor is a nuclear receptor playing a crucial role in cholesterol metabolism. It can be activated by endogenous oxysterols or intake of natural ligands such as phytosterols derived from plants or fungi, which may affect the immune system.

Looking to change the fitness game, in 2016 Andrea Wise approached weetu with her concept for a curated wellness boutique.
Ascend is a holistic wellness experience with a bespoke, boutique approach. It is a private space for balancing lifestyles and sustaining wellness. They focus on creating highly personalized experiences that span a variety of services including, but not limited to, an adrenaline-packed workout, wellness retreats, nutritional coaching, yoga, pilates, facials, and massages – all under one roof.
As a new business, it was a primary goal to design a smart, sustainable and budget conscious space while also achieving a holistic brand experience. weetu created a clean, airy space, maximizing natural daylight, that is flexible for multiple programs and training methods. It was also critical to actualize the Ascend brand visually and experientially, a fundamental strength of the weetu methodology.
The design strategy was to execute the space in phases, so as to not disrupt the continuation of business. The general training areas, locker and shower rooms, and pilates and yoga studios are now completed. Future phases will emphasize hospitality features including the reception and waiting areas with custom designed black plexiglass back-lit signage wall, reception desk and ceiling canopy.
Weetu utilized affordable and sustainable materials such as bamboo and recycled rubber flooring, contrasted with polished brand elements such as translucent and opaque black plexiglass, LED tubular lighting and crisp, white tiles and solid surfaces.
This approach resulted in the ability for Ascend to successfully provide curated experiences to help clients meet their personal health and fitness goals now and for years to come. | health |

All clear frames, sold by iamtrend, have been tested for fitting prescription lenses and all of them are suitable to have prescription lenses fitted in them by a certified optometrist.
However, there is always risk involved. The ability to fit prescription lenses, into iamtrend frames, and willingness to do so is done at the optometrists’ discretion.
Thus, having your prescription lenses fitted in an iamtrend frame is done so at your own risk and iamtrend is not liable for any damage due to fitting prescription lenses. iamtrend is also not liable for optometrists who cannot fit your prescription lenses into iamtrend frames.
Even if an optometrist has fitted a certain frame multiple times there is still a small possibility that it may not work. This is why many optometrists offices have a disclaimer that says “fitted at the customer’s own risk.”
The customer will be held liable for refund and exchange delivery fees if their optometrist cannot fit their prescription lenses into an iamtrend frame. We recommend contacting your optometrist beforehand to confirm whether or not they believe it will work. | health |

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

Published in Health and Home Digest - October 2003
By Jennifer Ferrell-Hanington, Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist
What does it mean when someone says, “I’m obsessed with collecting dolls.”, or “I am a compulsive shopper.” These terms are used loosely in our daily vocabulary, but the clinical meaning of these words may be quite different when we use them in the context of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
What are the symptoms of OCD?
OCD is characterized by excessive worries (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions). Obsessions are recurrent, intrusive, and distressful thoughts. These thoughts can pop into the mind suddenly and usually produce doubt and fear.
Common obsessions include, but are not excluded to:
- Worry about germs, contamination, and dirt
- Fear of inadvertently harming another person, or fear of something bad happening
- Unrealistic concern about order, arrangement, or symmetry
- Worry about discarding useless possessions
Compulsions are behaviors that are repetitive and are often performed in order to relieve the anxiety associated with the obsessive thoughts. They are performed to relieve doubt, or are meant to prevent bad things from happening. Not only are compulsions observable behaviors, but they also may include specific mental activity.
Common compulsions include, but are not excluded to:
- Excessive hand washing or cleaning
- Repeated checking, e.g. whether the stove is turned off or whether the doors are locked
- Counting objects over and over again
- Arranging and ordering objects
- Hoarding and saving useless objects
Not all worries and repetitive behaviors represent an illness. In fact, they may be helpful in most cases. For example, hand washing and proper cleaning is important regarding our health, and keeping doors locked is necessary for safety and protecting property. In addition, proper organization and planning can assist us avoiding errors and in succeeding our goals. Therefore, if we view these symptoms on a continuum, professional help is recommended only when these symptoms become excessive, are unrealistic, create significant distress, or interfere with daily functioning, school, jobs, or relationships.
Behaviors such as gambling, abusing alcohol/drugs, and excessive shopping are often referred to as “compulsive”. However, these activities are different than the ones associated with OCD. Gambling, using drugs, or shopping provide a certain level of pleasure. However, OCD compulsions are not inherently pleasurable. Instead, the compulsions may be experienced as repulsive or senseless, and are only performed to relieve the fear and doubt stemming from the obsessions.
How common is OCD?
OCD was once thought to be a rare condition. However, in the United States, 1 in 50 adults currently suffers from OCD, and five million people at any time are experiencing obsessive compulsive symptoms. Most individuals usually begin exhibiting OCD in adolescence or early adulthood. With appropriate treatment, symptoms can often be managed successfully.
What treatment is available?
Cognitive behavioral psychotherapy is often recommended for those with OCD.
The behavioral focus of this treatment helps people learn how to change their thoughts and feelings by first changing their behavior. This treatment teaches people how to decrease their anxiety by repeated exposures to the feared situations, while refraining from the compulsive behaviors. Cognitive therapy helps people alter their style of thinking in order to assess situations more realistically.
Medications have been developed that can alleviate symptoms of OCD. The medications that are most effective for treating OCD are in a group called Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI). The use of medication may be based on the severity of the symptoms.
Psychotherapy has been found to produce a 50%-80% reduction in symptoms and symptom relief is often long lasting. Fewer than 20% of those treated with medication alone obtain complete symptom relief. A combination of psychotherapy and medication is usually the most effective treatment. Each person may have different needs and display a unique set of symptoms that requires a personalized treatment plan. Before any decisions can be made about appropriate treatment, a thorough evaluation by a mental health professional is recommended.

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

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

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

Sports massage therapists use soft tissue manipulation to specifically benefit the participants of all sports and exercise regimes, whether you're a serious or not so serious athlete.
Even those who do not participate in sports will benefit from a sports massage as the posture of most people is often poor, either when they are standing, sitting, driving, or sitting at the computer, resulting in stiff and aching muscles.
People carrying out repetitive tasks (such as factory workers, musicians, builders, and window cleaners) would also benefit from sports massage therapy as it aims to help the management, manipulation and rehabilitation of the soft tissues of the body, such as:
- Other connective tissues
These are used continuously and repetitively, whatever the sport or occupation, so they may well need regular attention. Sports massage differs considerably from a normal "health and beauty massage", as application of the massage strokes is generally deeper, following detection of areas which need attention.
When should massage therapy be implemented?
- During the conditioning/training phase
- Pre-competition - to warm up muscles and other soft tissues
- Inter competition - to aid recovery and aid warm up again
- Post competition - to relieve muscle pain and stiffness
- To aid in injury prevention
- For rehabilitation following injury
- For general well-being and relaxation
Benefits of sports massage
- Aids circulation and lymphatic flow
- Improves performance and temperament
- Improves suppleness and range of movement
- Reduces adverse effects of over-training
- Sedates or stimulates nerve endings
- Speeds the removal of toxins from the body
- Relieves muscle soreness
- Benefits the rehabilitation of the injured athlete
- Prevents or relieves adhesions and scar tissue
- Aids mental preparation for sporting participation
- Extends an athlete's overall sporting career
- Can help to prevent injury | health |

Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Such experiences inevitably leave traces on minds, emotions, and even on biology. Sadly, trauma sufferers frequently pass on their stress to their partners and children.
Renowned trauma expert Bessel van der Kolk has spent over three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he transforms our understanding of traumatic stress, revealing how it literally rearranges the brain’s wiring—specifically areas dedicated to pleasure, engagement, control, and trust. He shows how these areas can be reactivated through innovative treatments including neurofeedback, mindfulness techniques, play, yoga, and other therapies. Based on Dr. van der Kolk’s own research and that of other leading specialists, The Body Keeps the Score offers proven alternatives to drugs and talk therapy—and a way to reclaim lives.

SCA6 is an inherited degenerative brain disorder that has been in my family for generations, greatly impacting my grandmother, father, sister, and aunt's lives. It affects your cerebellum, a part of your brain responsible for coordination of movement. This inherited condition worsens over time and causes problems with coordination of the eyes, hands, legs, speech, and swallowing. It takes only one copy of the mutated gene from one biological parent to cause the condition. Therefore, when a person with SCA6 has children, each child has a 50% chance of inheriting the mutated gene.
Researchers, including Dr. Christopher Gomez, are exploring ways to help people manage and treat SCA6, which is why funding is desperately needed! Dr. Gomez established The University of Chicago Ataxia Center in 2006 as a specialty clinic and research center devoted to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of ataxias.

Our mission is to identify, develop, and advocate for equitable ways to improve population health with a focus on structurally and medically vulnerable populations. Our research topics range from substance use to climate disasters. In pursuit of our mission, we use rigorous computational methods, machine learning, demographic techniques, and traditional epidemiologic analyses combined with social theory. All our work is applied with the goal of informing interventions and equitable policies.
We ask questions like: How have disparities in mortality changed during the COVID-19 pandemic? Which groups of schoolchildren are most exposed to wildfire smoke? How can we distribute COVID-19 vaccines more fairly? How has the COVID-19 pandemic impacted fatal drug poisonings? Broadly, our work falls into two, non-overlapping areas.
Social epidemiology. We investigate the way the structures of society permeate all aspects of health and result in an unjustly unequal distribution of health and disease. Our goal is to identify equitable policies and approaches to improving health among structurally and medically vulnerable populations.
Computational epidemiology. Rooted in social theory, we use computational methods to rigorously analyze and combine data from non-health data sources (such as mobile phone data or social media data) and traditional sources (such as health insurance claims or mortality data) to understand large-scale human behavior and its impact on health.
We love using new methods and working with exciting data, but ultimately, we are a solutions-driven lab focused on applied problems. In pursuit of this mission, we use a variety of computational (e.g., machine learning, microsimulations), demographic (e.g., decomposition and lifetable techniques), epidemiologic (e.g. dynamical models), and statistical tools (e.g., Bayesian spatial models) that are most appropriate for the research question. | health |

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

Dysfunction of the TMJ can occur as in any other joint in the body. The main complaint is pain, which can be caused by:
- Articular disc displacement
- Joint capsule inflammation
- Muscle spasm
- Trigger points in the masticatory muscles and many other reasons.
Changes in the function and structure of the TMJ lead to changes in other structures in the body. Many studies have investigated the relationship between disorders of the TMJ and changes in body posture. It is often observed that the position of the head, neck and shoulder girdle structures are altered in the presence of an TMJ pathology.
Complaints that should be referred for consultation:
- Pain in the jaw area
- Jaw twitching when eating, talking, laughing or squinting
- Restricted expressions
- Teeth grinding
The need for a physiotherapist in the treatment of TMJ disorders
Scientific sources suggest that non-invasive treatment should be recommended before permanent treatment such as orthodontic or surgical treatment. In acute conditions, care is provided to protect the muscles and promote healing. In chronic conditions, treatment can be with exercises, bite plates and stretching exercises.
Physiotherapy includes manualinę terapiją:
- Manipulation of the TMJ and other segments
- Independent stretching of the TMJ and other body segments
- Strengthening the muscles surrounding the TMJ
- Posture correction
A treatment plan is drawn up in collaboration with the dentist. And only by addressing the problem comprehensively can the maximum result be achieved. | health |

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

Spas offer a real space of relaxation and well-being to relax alone or with others.
Known for their health benefits, hot water and massage jets are just as beneficial to your body as they are to your morale.
Why invest in a spa?
The main reasons for investing in a spa are financial, i.e. to increase the value of a property, and well-being, with benefits for mental and physical health.
As mentioned earlier, spas are used for a variety of purposes: - Health and well-being: relaxing and unwinding, muscle massages - Sports: exercise to stay in shape - Leisure: enjoy special moments to escape the daily grind - Enjoyment: share moments with family or friends and strengthen ties.
Where to place your spa?
Indoors or outdoors? This is the big question about spas! Let's list the advantages and disadvantages of both positions:
Advantages: keeps the spa sheltered and protected from sudden temperature changes and pollution, easier to maintain water, longer use, more private
Disadvantages: You need a place with enough room that can support its weight. Bear in mind that a spa produces moisture and will need access to a drain.
Advantages: more pleasant environment, no humidity and splash problems, more space
Disadvantages: water maintenance is more demanding as it is subject to many external factors, finding a location that can accommodate the spa, positioning it well (with respect to sunlight, leaves, being overlooked by neighbors, etc.)
Find the right spa for you
It is necessary to study your project, understand your needs and your future use to find the best solutions, the best model and the best advice.
Our SolidPool network has spa experts to help you purchase and maintain the right model for your needs and use.

A spa that meets your needs is a spa that is maintained! It will therefore be necessary to: check and clean the filter once a week, treat and disinfect it to keep the water healthy and clean, check the balance (pH, alkalinity) of the water once a week to maintain water quality, regularly remove impurities and cover the spa to avoid leaves, insects, etc., drain it every 3 months to clean the interior surfaces.
Around your spa
The place where your spa will be located will be considered as one of your living spaces, so it is necessary to think carefully about how to arrange it. Do you want a space that is for rest and relaxation? Or maybe you'd like one more focused on fitness with the option for counter-current swimming? Or are you looking for something more user-friendly? Here's what you need to ask yourself if you want a spa to be the best addition to your home. | health |

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

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

Whether it is the sound of a voice saying their name or outreached arms when they near, multisensory input provides infants with the building blocks needed to form emotional attachments, learn language, and to navigate the world.
The science behind the role of the visual and auditory systems in early learning and cognition has far outpaced our knowledge of the role of the somatosensory system – or touch – for infant development. Although touch is the first sense to develop in the womb and seems straightforward when we think of babies – cuddling, kissing, holding – it can be measured in many ways (e.g., pressure, temperature, pain, movement) and can be positive or negative (e.g., a hug or a spank).
An intervention study out of Israel measured the long-term benefits of maternal touch in the NICU and several developmental outcomes. The intervention, called Kangaroo Care (KC), involved placing the baby between the mother’s breasts while still attached to the cardiorespiratory monitor, one hour per day for 14 days. The safety and benefit of this intervention to neuromaturation during the neonatal period and mother-infant bonding in early infancy is well supported. The researchers compared children who did participate in Kangaroo Care as a premature baby to a control group of children who did not. | health |

During pregnancy there are a whole host of postural problems that can occur due to the increasing excess anterior weight. This can be seen as hip pain, lower back pain, mid-back pain and in many other joints too! This can also be due to the hormone relaxin. This hormone allows the ligaments to relax, and therefore permits joints to move a little more than we'd like, causing pain and irritation of joints. There are many techniques that are safe and gentle, and can be used throughout pregnancy.
"Cranial osteopathy is not different to osteopathy, it is the name given to a subtle and refined approach to osteopathy that follows all the principles of osteopathy, and it is used throughout the body not just in the head. The name cranial osteopathy simply refers to the fact that it includes the structures inside the head. Cranial osteopaths use a highly developed sense of touch to feel subtle changes of tension and tissue quality in the living anatomy of the whole body, and to diagnose areas of strain or dysfunction."

Keep in mind whether or not all the dentists in the practice, if it's a workplace with multiple dentists, have the exact same level of experience and qualifications. Your family dentist should be keeping up with them.
When you call the office, ask questions. Do you require a dentist who treats children and teenagers in addition to grownups? Make sure you ask, because there are some family dentists who choose not to deal with very children; they might just accept school age children and older as patients, and refer more youthful kids to a pediatric dentist.
Do your kids need braces in addition to regular care? Some family dental workplaces offer braces as well as cleanings, fillings, and other regular services. This can be a fun time saver for a busy family.
There are some dentists who welcome patients with fears and phobias and provide unique services such as sedation film, dentistry or music to distract patients, nitrous oxide and other services to help them feel relaxed. A great dentist wants you to feel comfortable during your check out, and his workplace personnel must invite your concerns.
2. Exactly what's the workplace like?
When you call the workplace, is the receptionist impolite and rushed or useful and enjoyable? Is he client when addressing concerns or curt? Can she or he address all your concerns relating to appointment times, services, insurance and payments?
You can tell a lot about an office by the individual staffing the front desk. That individual plays a crucial role in any professional setting, but most of all in a medical or dental office. If the front office individual is impolite or condescending, you might be too frightened to request exactly what you need-- not a good situation if you have a dental emergency.
Some family dentists offer a free initial appointment, and such a visit can assist you examine the workplace. Does the dentist use the latest devices? A cutting-edge office implies a dentist who cares about discovering and using the latest strategies, tools and devices for his clients' comfort and convenience.

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

Crowns can be viewed similar to a cap or covering that encloses a weakened tooth thereby prolonging its life.
Commonly, crowns are prepared and placed over two visits. During the first appointment the tooth is prepared and a mould and colour match taken. The mould is then sent to a laboratory that fabricates the crown. Crowns can be made using a range of materials such as tooth coloured porcelain or gold alloys. At Central Smiles we’ll discuss the materials available with you and recommend one to suit your situation the best. During the time the lab is creating your crown a temporary crown is in place. At Central Smiles we only use Australian based laboratories certifying that quality, verified and safe materials are used to construct your crown. | health |

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