Each year, over 10,000 lives are lost in accidents related to drunken driving. In 2016 alone, that number was 10,497. According to AAA, while 66% of drivers believe driving under the influence of alcohol is a serious threat, only 28% of drivers feel the same way about driving under the influence of prescription drugs. Despite that low level of awareness, 46.5% of all fatal accidents that involve drug use are related to prescription medication.
Substances Commonly Found in Drugged Drivers
Every drug, whether illegal or prescribed by a doctor, can have different effects on different people. Some drivers will react more than others. But there are a few drugs that are found to present in a large number of motor vehicle accidents.
Marijuana may be legal to possess in small amounts in Washington, but it is still illegal to drive under the influence of it. Pot can have a negative effect on reaction time, the perception of time and distance, as well as judgment. Marijuana can also exacerbate the effects of other substances like alcohol, and even lead to hallucinations when combined with drugs like opiates. Alarmingly, fatal crashes involving drivers who had used marijuana recently doubled in Washington State. According to a 2016 AAA study, in 2014 one out of every six drivers involved in a fatal crash had used marijuana recently.
Drugs That Sedate
Drugs that can sedate you – namely sedatives and tranquilizers – are some of the most frequently cited for causing impairment in drivers. This group includes Opioids like morphine, tranquilizers normally used to treat anxiety, and prescription sleep aids. When sedated, you may feel drowsy, unresponsive, and develop slow response time behind the wheel. Benzodiazepines and opiates, both drugs that may sedate you, are the two prescription drugs most frequently found in drivers involved in fatal accidents.
Drugs That Overstimulate
The word “stimulant” might lead you to believe these types of drugs can increase your awareness or reaction time. However, when overstimulated there is an increased risk that you could drive aggressively or carelessly. Amphetamines are the most common type of drug in this group. Amphetamines are used to treat an array of issues including ADHD and narcolepsy. Prescription diet pills are another example of drugs that might overstimulate you. These pills are designed to increase metabolism but can lead to insomnia as well as overstimulation.
Avoiding Drug DUIs
While it's true that proving a drug-related DUI is tricky, that doesn't mean you can't be arrested for one based on little more than a police officer's suspicion. The best route to avoiding a drug-related DUI is to talk to your doctor and avoid driving on medication that could affect your ability to drive safely. However, if you have been arrested for a drug-related DUI in the Seattle area, Attorney Steve Karimi is ready to help you defend yourself in court.

Businesses all over Summit County have contributed to food programs, sports camps and medical operatives that have impacted thousands of lives.
Hispañola Health Partners was started by a group of Americans with the passion to help people. This passion brought all of the founders to the Island of Hispañola (Dominican Republic/Haiti) in one way or another. Some of them were working in clinics and performing cervical cancer screenings, others were running full time medical clinics and K-8 schools, while others were creating sports camps and providing yoga therapy to beaten women. Once they discovered the village of Marre-Joffrey, Haiti and saw how poor the medical care was in the area, they knew they needed to do something. They met with local community groups, Haitian government officials, local doctors, nurses, community leaders and non-profits to see if a clinic in Marre-Joffrey would be feasible. Once they found out that such an endeavor in the area could be made into a reality, they came back to the States and created Hispañola Health Partners, with a simple motto: Love People! | medical |

We offer several simple cosmetic dentistry procedures with gorgeous, natural-looking outcomes.
Discover the ways that cosmetic dentistry can improve your smile and boost your confidence. Call us today!
Cosmetic Dentistry FAQ’s
What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is the discipline of dental work that primarily focuses on your smile’s appearance.
While many cosmetic dental procedures also benefit your oral health or functioning by arranging its positioning, the most noticeable change for you is usually how much better your smile looks.
Our team will examine your teeth and ask about your most pressing appearance concerns. Even procedures that seem small can make a huge difference in the way your smile looks and give you a significant boost in confidence.
What imperfections in my smile can cosmetic dentistry fix?
With today’s ever-expanding list of techniques and technologies, dentists have the ability to fix nearly any imperfection that you can identify in your smile. At Fox Dental, the team can guide you to cosmetic treatments that:
- Align your teeth
- Align your jaw
- Whiten your teeth
- Change the shape of your teeth
- Change the size of your teeth
- Fill in gaps
- Cover or repair tooth damage
Many cosmetic alignments and damage-correcting dental procedures also help you eat comfortably and speak with clarity. After you complete your cosmetic dentistry plan, you’ll enjoy a straighter, brighter smile that you’re proud to show off.
What cosmetic dentistry procedures are available?
We offer a lengthy menu that includes many popular and effective cosmetic dentistry treatments and procedures. A few examples are:
Veneers are thin shells that cover the front of your tooth to change its outward appearance. They can adjust the color, shape, or size of your tooth or cover up the damage.
Crowns, also called caps, are custom appliances made in the shape of the tooth and is then placed over an entire tooth. While they can protect your teeth from damage or decay, they can also improve a tooth’s appearance.
Implants are screw-like appliances that fit into your jawbone. They hold in artificial teeth to restore a full smile permanently.
ClearCorrect is a teeth-alignment system that can straighten your teeth into a more aesthetically pleasing position without using bulky metal attachments or wires.
Either in the office or with a take-home whitening tray, you can bleach the color of your teeth for a bright white shine.

While standards of hygiene and expertise remain the foundation of patient trust, creating a luxurious and comfortable environment can significantly enhance the overall patient experience. The inclusion of luxury furniture in your dental clinic is not just about aesthetics—it's a strategic move that can positively impact your patient satisfaction, your staff's morale, and, indirectly, your bottom line.
Crafting a Context of Comfort
Dental anxiety is a widely recognized psychological barrier that keeps patients away from their oral health care. A luxury dental office design, which includes high-end furniture, can help alleviate these fears by offering a more familiar and comforting atmosphere. Similarly, opulent treatment room furniture, replete with amenities like heated massage functions, can transform a mandatory treatment session into a relaxing retreat for patients.
Enhancing the Professional Image
Your office design silently communicates the ethos of your practice — modern, traditional, family-oriented, or progressive. By employing luxury furniture in your dental office, you are signaling a commitment to quality that aligns with the services you offer. The elegance of your environment can make a powerful first and lasting impression, one that underscores excellence and detailed attention, traits you want patients to associate with your practice. Moreover, refined and comfortable furniture can do wonders for your staff's morale. Spaces that prioritize comfort and aesthetics instill a sense of pride and ownership among employees, which can translate to better performance and staff retention.
Financial Considerations and Return on Investment
It is understandable that the concept of luxury conjures high costs; however, considering the long-term benefits, it is not justifiable to view it in isolation. Comfortable patients generally secure better treatment outcomes, and improved patient satisfaction often correlates with a willingness to spend on additional services and recommended post-treatment care products. In addition, the potential increase in patient volume, retention, and referrals due to a noteworthy patient experience further justifies the initial investment. Luxury furniture is not merely an expense; it is strategic business development that enhances your operational ROI.
The inclusion of luxury furniture in your dental office is not a splurge—it's a purposeful investment in the patient-centric ambiance of your practice. It's a tangible reflection of your dedication to patient well-being and comfort, a statement about the caliber of your services, and a supportive measure for your staff. By enhancing the aesthetic appeal and overall comfort, you can create a space that resonates with your patients, setting your practice apart and fostering loyalty. In the realm of professional healthcare, the choice of furniture might not seem monumental, but the cumulative impact on patient satisfaction and the positive atmosphere within your office is undeniably significant. Remember, it's not just about looking good; it's about creating a space that feels right for everyone who enters your doors.

If you have a day procedure you will be discharged two or three hours afterwards. You will need a caregiver to take you home and be with you overnight. You will not be allowed to drive for 24 hours. It is possible to swallow blood from the back of the nose and vomit bloodstained material. Do not worry as this is a normal phenomenon and does not indicate problems.
Arrangements will be made to review you the following day to remove any packs and ensure you are recovering well. Expect any bruising to be at its worst by two to three days. Your nose will feel blocked, but try not to blow it as this can start bleeding. Any internal crusts should be allowed to come away naturally over the next few days.
Although we generally recommend two weeks away from work many patients find that they are able to return to desk work within a week of surgery, albeit with a splint and some bruising.
Your splints and tapes are removed at one week and you will be able to see the new shape of your nose. At this stage it will still be swollen.
Most of the swelling has settled by 3 weeks but there are subtle changes that occur for many months post-operatively. Make-up can be worn to cover any bruising once the splints have been removed.
Gentle exercise is OK at two weeks but strenuous gym work is best avoided for six weeks. You should avoid glasses on the bridge of the nose for three weeks. By a month the bones have healed and a knock to the nose is unlikely to cause any damage.
The nose will feel numb and a little cold for several months, the sensation gradually returning over a six-month period.
If there has been work performed on the airway it may take two months or longer for the swelling to settle inside the nose.
In normal circumstances we will see you postoperatively at one day, one week, six weeks and six months. Whilst not essential, we do like to keep in touch with our patients in the longer term and follow their progress. [ read more...] | medical |

I found a product that I’ve been faithfully using since July and I’m happy to say my scars have faded significantly. I’m so pleased with the results that I thought I’d share some information about it. Most people don’t go through life without acquiring the embarrassing marks left over from an accident, a burn, or a surgical procedure. Scars can be the constant reminder of an unpleasant situation someone would rather forget.
Depending on their location on the body, scars can shake the self-esteem of even the most confident person. Scars can make an individual want to cover up even on hot days. For years, products to improve the appearance of scars were only available from medical professionals. Fortunately, times have changed and these same products can be purchased over-the-counter.
ScarAway professional grade silicone scar treatment sheets are the answer to more normal looking skin. They were first used by burn centers on victims and by plastic surgeons on their patients. When applied to freshly healed wounds, studies have shown ScarAway sheets have helped to flatten scars that would have been raised in addition to returning the skin to a more natural tone and texture. Significant improvement on older keloid, contracture, and hypertrophic scars has also been well-documented.
These unique sheets are made from a patented material that’s breathable and flexible. They’re so comfortable to wear under clothing that individuals will actually forget they’re wearing them. The process of how they work to reduce scarring is ingenious. By imitating the natural blocking function of normal, undamaged skin, they increase hydration. This moisture works to soften scar tissue by breaking down excess collagen. Scar growth is diminished and the tissue fades away much quicker.
Available in a plethora of sizes, ScarAway sheets can be used anywhere on the body. They’re drug-free, so they’re safe for nursing moms to use on cesarean section sites. The self-adhesive sheets require no surgical tape to keep them in place and should be worn for a minimum of twelve hours a day. Washing the sheets daily with mild soap and water will keep the adhesive sticky. With proper care, a sheet can be reused for at least a week, maybe two. For optimum results, ScarAway sheets should be worn every day for twelve weeks. Some individuals will continue to see scar improvement the longer they wear the sheets.
Unfortunately, most scars won’t fade completely. Fortunately, using ScarAway professional grade silicone scar treatment sheets can significantly reduce a scar’s appearance. A short three-month commitment to wearing them can make it possible for an individual to regain the confidence he or she has lost. Everyone deserves to be able to show his or her best skin off without having to spend a fortune on expensive laser resurfacing procedures. It’s important to note that laser resurfacing offers no guarantee it will improve a scar’s appearance. In some cases, it might make a scar worse. | medical |

The main structures that can be viewed on a fundus photo are the central and peripheral retina, optic disc and macula, which are important for the screening and diagnosis of Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration, Diabetic Retinopathy and various other ocular diseases and conditions.
Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT)
The OCT is used to obtain high-resolution images of the retina and anterior segment. OCT’s use an imaging technique, which works similar to ultrasound by simply using light waves instead of sound waves to show cross-sections of tissue layers of the retina and / or cornea. The layers within the retina can be differentiated and retinal thickness can be measured to aid in the early detection and diagnosis of retinal diseases and conditions.
Specialised Eye Care for Children
We take great care in assessing your child’s entire visual system. In addition to our thorough health and prescription testing, our paediatric exams also include evaluation of visual efficiency skills children need to succeed in the classroom.
Our Clinical Eye Tracker provides a powerful new tool for the clinical assessment of eye movements, which enables us to quantify and measure the visual system more effectively.

Author: Jeremy Lelek
I am excited to feature a guest blog by Dr. Mary Ann Block, great insights on good treatment of ADHD symptoms.
Attention and Behavior Problems Are Not ADHD, by Dr. Mary Ann Block
I have never seen a child that actually has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In my medical practice, I have seen thousands of children that have been labeled
ADHD and thousands of children that have been prescribed psychiatric drugs for ADHD, but they came to my office without a thorough history taken, a complete physical exam, lab work, allergy testing, heavy metal testing or educational testing. When I performed these tests, I discovered that none of them had ADHD. There was always some medical, physical or educational reason for the symptoms. If your child was labeled ADHD without these tests, there is a good chance your child was misdiagnosed as well.
Children with attention and behavior problems can have many different medical or educational problems that cause the attention and behavior symptoms. If one of these other diagnoses is found then that is the real diagnosis, not ADHD.
Find The Cause—Fix The Problem
Labeling children as ADHD and prescribing a psychiatric drug may be quick, easy and cheap, but I do not consider it to be good medicine. I was taught to always look for the underlying cause of any medical problem. Most of the children I have seen that were labeled as ADHD had teachers that encouraged the parents to take the child to the doctor for a prescription. The doctors usually did not do a physical exam, nor took a thorough history. Rarely was any lab work or allergy testing performed. The doctor just accepted the teacher’s opinion for it and prescribed a psychiatric drug to the child.
There is No Objective Medical Test for ADHD
The diagnosis of ADHD is actually made from a checklist filled out by the parents and teachers. Of course, the teachers know what to check to assure an ADHD diagnosis so it doesn’t surprise me that the diagnosis is given quickly and readily just as are the psychiatric drugs used to treat ADHD. Because the label made from a check list, ADHD is just a made up psychiatric label that is based on a group of subjective symptoms. There is no means available to determine that someone actually has ADHD. Your child might have many of the symptoms that make up the psychiatric disorder called ADHD but those same symptoms can be caused from many medical and educational problems as well.
According to the National Institutes of Health, there is no valid test for ADHD, there is no data indicating it is a brain disorder and there is little improvement in academic and social skills when it is treated with drugs.
ADHD Drugs Have Many Potential and Serious Side Effects
It concerns me greatly that children are prescribed these psychiatric drugs that come with a host of potentially dangerous side effects. I am sure you would like your child to be appropriately evaluated before using any of those drugs. The number of children and adolescents taking psychiatric drugs tripled in the past ten years. A study in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine reported that pediatricians and child psychiatrists are turning more and more to prescription drugs to treat their young patients. The study said “little research exists to indicate whether psychiatric drugs are being prescribed responsibly in most cases, or whether they are being over-prescribed-in part because health insurers are reluctant to pay for non-medication treatments.”

One of our 3 year geldings kicked through a metal wind break while playing. We made an emergency trip to Greeley with him and was met with a veterinarian that exuded professionalism and confidence. She surveyed the severity of the situation, gave us clear options with possible outcomes to each and allowed us the time to make an educated decision about the future of this colt. We made the decision to have the suspensory ligament surgically repaired. Dr. Jergens spent an extra hour in surgery pulling minuscule pieces of metal shards out of the tendon sheath to ensure success. Her time and dedication never waived over the next 10 weeks of antibiotic treatments, bandage changes and stall rest that she helped us manage at our own barn, for the colt’s comfort. Hard work and commitment from this outstanding veterinarian paid off and Maximum Cash Return is now an outstanding asset to ACtion Racing Stables.
Over the course of the next few years we grew to trust Dr. Jergens with all of out veterinary needs. Her resource base for specialists, in a broad array of fields, allows her an advantage with her diagnostic skills and as a client this was a huge comfort. She always puts her patients first and her unwavering commitment to excellence makes her a clear choice for veterinary care in Northern Colorado!”
~Katie Hollingsworth, Something Wicked Speed Horses
“Although our case was terminal, Dr. Jergens was exceptionally helpful in establishing a diagnosis with her state-of-the-art equipment and equine veterinarian knowledge. The Jergens displayed tremendous willingness to help, intuition, compassion and professionalism throughout our tragic situation. We are forever grateful for the care they gave to our Buck and know they will be there for us and our future horse healthcare.”

After you’ve learned the reasons and received six remedies, everyone in your home will be able to rest, relax, and recharge after the sun has set.
Are you able to identify with these pet parents?
I was excited to speak with my new customer about the possibility of acupuncture for his elderly dog, who was suffering nighttime anxiety. As he described the difficulties he and his wife were experiencing, I could detect a mixture of despair and tiredness in his voice. He had reached the end of his rope and was uncertain of where to turn for assistance.
His wife, who was responsible for the dog’s daily care, was on the point of having a “nervous collapse.” Those were the exact words he used. She was a light sleeper, as were many other ladies her age. She was also completely committed to their pet dog, and she was determined to give him the finest care possible at whatever cost to the family.
Every night, she was roused by the panting and pacing of their dog. After getting out of bed and attempting to calm her agitated dog by putting him outside, providing him with plenty of freshwater, turning on a fan, and going to another room in the house, she would eventually give up and give up altogether. It was a nightly routine for the duo, which continued until the fatigued dog and mother eventually crashed together in the early morning hours of the next day.
Unfortunately, this is not an exceptional instance. All-too-common among senior dogs is the experience of nighttime dread. The issue, just as it did for my new client and his wife, has the potential to have a significant negative influence on everyone’s quality of life.
The significance of obtaining an accurate diagnosis
Clients want vets to make their pets well—to “cure” the symptoms, in other words, to make them feel better. They are looking for a therapy plan that includes specific action actions. Their main concern is understanding what will happen and when it will happen. That makes sense. As a dog parent myself, I know what you’re going through.
However, as a veterinarian, it is difficult, if not impossible, to develop an educated treatment plan without first comprehending the “why” behind the “what” in question. It is possible that your dog is not sleeping at night, but we must first determine the cause of this before providing the appropriate remedy.
How can veterinarians determine if a senior dog is experiencing nighttime anxiety?
A thorough history and physical examination are critical initial steps. To begin, your veterinarian and their team will ask you questions and take comprehensive notes on what is occurring with your dog during the nighttime hours. This is referred to as “taking a history.” After that, they will conduct a comprehensive physical examination and administer several tests.
What causes anxiety in a senior dog when alone in the evenings?
Now it’s up to your veterinarian to do what they do best: play detective and put the puzzle pieces together to find out why your dog is panting, restless, and worried in the first place.
Several different factors often bring on anxiety at night in older dogs. Let’s take a quick look at each of them in turn.
Canine cognitive impairment is characterized by the following:
Canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome (C.C.D.S.) is the most prevalent cause of anxiety in elderly dogs (C.D.S.). Despite the lengthy term, it simply indicates that your dog’s brain is not operating correctly. If your dog’s mental abilities and awareness are impaired, you will recognize this condition as soon as you detect it. Canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome (C.C.D.S.) is often compared to canine Alzheimer’s disease.
According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, when there is no evidence of cognitive impairment, your dog may be worried at night if he is in discomfort. If your dog is experiencing pain, a thorough examination along with your observations should assist your veterinarian in determining the cause of the discomfort.
While arthritis and musculoskeletal pain are widespread, there is also the possibility of neurogenic pain, often known as nerve pain. It is usually essential to get a proper diagnosis to customize therapy to the patient’s needs to treat neurogenic pain properly.
There are a variety of other causes of senior dog worry at night.
Listed below are some of the other prevalent disorders that might cause restlessness and anxiety in senior dogs throughout the night. These conditions would be detected by standard diagnostic testing.
Disease of the intracranial space
An additional factor to consider is an intracranial illness, which is in addition to the ones already mentioned. Inflammation of the intracranial space is a disorder that begins in the brain (such as a brain tumor or other type of inflammatory brain disease).
A veterinary referral facility or veterinary school will do an M.R.I. or C.T. scan on the patient to get a precise diagnosis. Although not every dog parent can afford or go to a veterinary hospital to take advantage of these sophisticated diagnostic imaging alternatives, it’s comforting to know that they are accessible if needed if the situation calls for them.
What should you do if your senior dog has nighttime anxiety?
Once you’ve figured out what’s causing your dog’s nocturnal anxiety, it’s time to speak about possible treatments. It’s important to remember that diagnosing someone might be difficult. Don’t give up if you don’t get a firm answer on your initial visit to the veterinarian. It may take multiple trips and a great deal of thorough observation on your part to piece together the whole scenario.
Make dietary modifications.
Many veterinarians will advocate switching to a prescription food with brain-boosting ingredients since it is a simple modification that may reap significant benefits. Although I’m usually the one who recommends a custom-formulated, home-cooked food over a prescription diet, in this instance, I’m siding with those who advocate for prescription diets instead.
Hill’s® Prescription Diet® b/d Canine is one option for “brain aging care,” as is Purina® Neuro Care and Purina® Bright Minds. Hill’s® Prescription Diet® b/d Canine is another option for “brain aging care” (which represents the Purina veterinary prescription diet and the over-the-counter version, respectively). It may take many months to notice improvements from these diets, but they effectively treat cognitive impairment. Customers and colleagues have reported the usage of Bright Minds as effective in alleviating nocturnal anxiety in some dogs, which may have been the case since the underlying problem in those instances was C.D.S.
Increase your physical activity and mental stimulation throughout the day.
Another straightforward tip is to boost your dog’s daily exercise routine as well as his mental stimulation throughout the day. Exert some additional energy by making an extra loop around the neighborhood and consider cognitive challenges and canine puzzles. With a quick web search, you may find hundreds of ideas and items that are meant to test your dog’s cognitive abilities.
Don’t cause a commotion.
For example, anxiety in elderly dogs may occur when their daily routine is disrupted. Maintaining a healthy, regular nightly schedule may benefit everyone, including seniors. If your senior dog has suddenly acquired strange anxiety-related behavior at night, the first step is to seek “triggers” that are causing it. Is there anything new that has happened recently? Also, please make confident that your dog has easy access to their chosen resting spot as well as a wonderfully lovely bed to sleep in. Oversized memory foam beds are an excellent option for anyone with creaky elderly joints.
dietary supplements made from natural ingredients
There are a variety of natural supplements for dogs available that may be beneficial for elderly dogs experiencing nighttime anxiety. These are things that you should look into and discuss with your veterinarian. Frequently, they will be used in conjunction with one another:
Medications are number five.
There are a variety of pharmacological alternatives available for dogs suffering from C.D.S. and anxiety. Although the list is lengthy and expanding as pharmaceutical firms produce new possibilities, the following are more specific options. These are often used in conjunction with one another and in conjunction with supplements as “combination treatment.”
Because every dog is unique, a period of trial and error will probably be required to determine which “combination treatment” is the most effective for your dog. To emphasize the significance of working closely with your veterinarian while beginning, changing, or discontinuing your dog’s medication regimen, consider the following:
Sleep is essential for both your dog and yourself.
If you can connect to the dog parents in this story who are fatigued, I implore you to get help from your local veterinarian. You are not obligated to suffer in solitude. Sleepless evenings are not something that can be sustained. They will harm your health, the health of your dog, and your entire well-being. Although it is not as straightforward as detecting lameness or a dental problem in your dog, your veterinarian is prepared to assist you in addressing nocturnal anxiety and restlessness in your dog. | medical |

The Natural Way Health Clinic
Naturopathic medicine is a system of medicine that has been practiced in North America for over 125 years. Naturopathic medicine is a distinct primary health care profession built on a patient-centred approach that emphasizes prevention, treatment, and optimal health through the use of therapeutic methods and substances that support the body’s natural ability to heal and help the patient achieve sustainable health and wellness.
Naturopathic medicine involves a functional medicine approach to healthcare, identifying the biochemical and physiological imbalances within the individual, and using natural, scientifically-proven solutions to rectify these imbalances. Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) focus on naturally occurring substances, minimally invasive methods, and the promotion of natural healing. They also emphasize illness prevention and a healthy diet and lifestyle.
Naturopathic Doctors focus not only on the symptoms but also the underlying conditions causing the symptoms. Naturopathic Doctors treat the root causes of disease and address preventable risk factors, using a wide range of science-and evidence-based, natural and conventional therapies.
Naturopathic medicine focuses on an understanding of the origins of acute and chronic disease and working to support and assist the body’s natural ability to heal, getting to the root cause of what’s wrong. Naturopathic assessment, diagnosis and treatment of the individual patient are accomplished by integrating modern and traditional care which includes clinical and laboratory diagnostic techniques. All therapeutic options are considered and applied to help regulate the process of disease over time rather than temporarily suppress it. Naturopathic medicine is evidence-based, informed by clinical experience, research and the individual patient’s unique health situation. Health promotion and disease prevention are a particular foundation of naturopathic medicine.
The focus of naturopathic care is the individual, their current health (physical, emotional and spiritual), family history as well as lifestyle choices and environmental influences, all of which inform the naturopathic assessment, diagnosis and treatment plan offered by a Naturopathic Doctor.
Naturopathic assessment, diagnosis and treatment draws from a number of modalities (therapies) and is tailored to the individual. Treatments may include clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathic medicine, physical treatments, acupuncture and Asian medicine, and lifestyle counseling.
Naturopathic medicine is a distinct form of primary health care. There are seven accredited schools of naturopathic medicine in North America.

My vision has changed drastically during that time. Dr. Lucas is always finding new and better products to make my ability to see better and with more convenience. I just started wearing a new contact lens that is absolutely incredible!”
“Dr. Lucas, I do sometimes wonder why I drive so far for my eye care. Then I realize – it’s the best, and that’s what we all want for our eyes. Thanks for all you do.”
Bel Air, CA
“My relationship with Dr. Bruce Lucas began so many years ago, it is hard to remember when I was not his patient. I was “inherited” from a retiring optometrist when Dr. Lucas began his practice. At first, I was nervous about the change of doctors, but soon came to realize how lucky I was to become one of Dr. Lucas’ first patients so many years ago.
Since then, Dr. Lucas has advised and guided me through styles in glasses, the changing varieties of contact lenses and now, LASIK vision surgery. All of the generations of my family, from children to grandparents, have also joined his list of patients.
I am confident in his knowledge and expertise in maintaining the health of my eyes for the best vision possible. He has always been on the cutting edge of innovations in the eye care industry, continuously improving his knowledge and resources.
Dr. Lucas is more than an optometrist. He is a friendly, dedicated and talented doctor I trust implicitly and recommend highly. As an added benefit, he’s one hell of a joke teller!”
“Dr. Lucas, my husband and I want to thank you for improving the quality of our lives! I came into your office saying, “I can’t wear contacts, and can’t see with my glasses or without them”. My presbyopia had gotten to the point that I could not even read large print without searching for my reading glasses, and did not see well with bifocals or progressive lenses. With your expertise, patience and your excellent staff, I became comfortable the very first day in putting contacts in and removing them, and left your office with full range of excellent vision. I never realized how much I had been missing by not being able to read at a glance.
My husband listened to me raving about my improved vision for several weeks and wondered if he’d ever be able to wear contact lenses. Bill had worn trifocals for years and had a severely amblyopic eye. He was told previously that contacts and even LASIK surgery were not options for him. Another call to you, with your positive, “can do” attitude, and Bill was ready to give contacts a try. When he came out of your office without his glasses, and a smile on his face, I kept asking him if he could “see”! After a couple of days, he was convinced that he could not only see well, but in many areas of his vision has what he calls “pristine vision”, even more clarity and range than with his glasses.
There is no doubt that you are one of very few optometrists or physicians who would have even attempted contacts for Bill. And, as you know, I was unable to tolerate contacts before coming to your office. The words “Thank You” do not seem adequate, but please know that we sincerely appreciate everything you have done for both of us. You have improved our lives!”
Elaine & Bill Bracciodieta
“My friend recommended I see Dr. Lucas. I had a different doctor at the time. The quality of the exam Dr. Lucas gave me was like owning an Edsel and trading it in for a BMW. I was so impressed with Dr. Lucas, I urged the rest of my family and many of my friends to switch doctors. Thanks Dr. Lucas for taking such good care of us.”
“I began seeing Dr. Lucas a year ago for an eye condition that I had suffered with for over six months. Before I saw Dr. Lucas, my eyes were treated by several physicians with no improvement.
Dr. Lucas diagnosed my eye condition and treated the problem successfully. My internist was grateful to Dr. Lucas, not only for the relief that I finally experienced, but for the research information that Dr. Lucas provided to identify my eye condition.
As a Registered Nurse, I understand how important it is to have a qualified medical practitioner who you can trust. Dr. Lucas is a practitioner who I genuinely trust to make the best health decisions for me and my family. I continue to feel supported by Dr. Lucas and his medical staff. Their efforts assure me that I am receiving the most professional care possible.”

Yet that does not need to be the case, according to research by UConn professor of psychiatry and UConn Health psychologist Golda S. Ginsburg.
Ginsburg and colleagues at Johns Hopkins University tested a one-year family therapy intervention and found that only 9 percent of children who participated in a therapist-directed intervention developed anxiety after one year, as compared to 21 percent in a group that received written instruction and 31 percent in a group that did not receive any therapy or written instruction.
“The finding underscores the vulnerability of offspring of anxious parents,” says Ginsburg. She wants to do something about that vulnerability. “If we can identify kids at risk, let’s try and prevent this.” | medical |

For many Americans, understanding and accessing health insurance coverage can be a daunting task, characterized by bureaucratic intricacies, high costs, and the threat of insufficient coverage. This complexity is not without consequence, as it directly impacts the health and financial stability of millions.
To fully grasp the current state of health insurance in the U.S., it’s essential to appreciate its historical context. Unlike many other Western countries, the U.S. does not have a universal health care system. The roots of this divergence date back to the post-World War II era, where employer-based insurance coverage grew as part of worker compensation, solidifying the private sector’s role in health insurance.
Over the years, government programs like Medicare and Medicaid were established (in 1965) to protect vulnerable populations such as the elderly, disabled, and low-income groups. However, a significant portion of the American population remained either uninsured or underinsured, often resulting in financial hardship and health disparities.
The Affordable Care Act
A monumental shift occurred with the introduction of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010. Commonly known as “Obamacare,” the ACA sought to decrease the number of uninsured Americans and reduce health care costs. Key provisions included allowing young adults to stay on their parents’ insurance plans until age 26, prohibiting insurers from denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions, and establishing health insurance marketplaces to enable individuals to shop for insurance plans—often with income-based federal subsidies to offset costs.
While the ACA significantly decreased the rate of uninsured individuals, it also faced substantial political and social opposition. Critics often cited increased premiums for certain populations and compulsory insurance mandates (individual mandates) as primary concerns. The ensuing years have seen numerous legal challenges and legislative changes, reflecting deep ideological divides over government’s role in health care.
Private Insurance: A Dominant Force
Despite the prevalence of programs like Medicare and Medicaid, private insurance companies remain dominant in the U.S. health care system. Individuals commonly receive coverage through their employers, direct purchase, or through the health insurance marketplaces established by the ACA.
However, this dominance comes with challenges. Firstly, the reliance on employer-based coverage links insurance to employment status, creating vulnerabilities for loss of coverage. Secondly, plans are often fraught with restrictions, such as limited provider networks, co-payments, and high deductibles, which can limit access to necessary care or create financial burdens.
Public Programs: Medicare and Medicaid
Medicare and Medicaid are the two mainstays of the U.S. government’s direct involvement in health insurance. Medicare provides health coverage for individuals 65 and older, certain younger people with disabilities, and people with End-Stage Renal Disease. It is divided into parts A (hospital insurance), B (medical insurance), C (Medicare Advantage, which offers additional coverage options), and D (prescription drug coverage).
Medicaid, on the other hand, operates as a joint federal and state program providing health coverage to millions of Americans, including eligible low-income adults, children, pregnant women, elderly adults, and people with disabilities. Each state has significant discretion in determining the structure, eligibility, and benefits within broad federal guidelines, resulting in a patchwork of Medicaid policies across the country.
Financial Implications and Coverage Gaps
Health insurance system is its cost. The U.S. spends significantly more on health care per capita than any other developed nation, yet it does not correspond with better health outcomes. Many individuals struggle with high premiums, deductibles, and out-of-pocket expenses, leading some to forgo necessary medical procedures and medications.
Additionally, there remain significant coverage gaps. Despite the ACA’s advancements, millions of Americans are still uninsured. Others find themselves underinsured, where their coverage is inadequate to meet their health care needs, often leading to financial strain or even ruin in the face of serious illness.
Health insurance in the United States is at a crossroads. The ongoing debate around health care reform reflects underlying societal values and conflicts regarding equity, justice, and economic theory. Some advocate for a transition to a single-payer system, often dubbed “Medicare for All,” arguing it would simplify the complex insurance landscape and help in achieving health care equity. Others defend the current multi-payer system, with suggestions for modifications to increase efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and choice.
What remains clear is the need for comprehensive, bipartisan solutions to address systemic issues—rising costs, disparities in access, and the financial fragility faced by individuals—which continue to characterize the U.S. health insurance conundrum.
In conclusion, the state of health insurance in the United States is a multifaceted issue with deep historical roots. As discussions and debates continue, the focus should remain on strategies that offer a more equitable, accessible, and affordable health care future for all Americans. | medical |

It causes loss of a healthy communication between the people involved. Gives rise to trust issues for both parties and causes arguments that can destroy relationships. The person suffering from the addiction will be in the thick of this all and might have to struggle with other medical issues resulting from the addiction.
If you or someone close to you is going through similar problems, the best way to deal with it is to sign up for south Florida detox for complete alcohol addiction treatment.
What is Alcohol Withdrawal?
Alcohol or any other addictive drug can cause changes in the brain that leads to problematic dysfunction when it is deprived of the drugs that it had gotten used to. This happens on a cellular level as the cells that were using the drug fire back and the body falls in the line of fire. The deprivation of the cells can lead to mental as well as physical distress which makes the person want to return to their drinking habits.
However, when they cannot succumb to this at a detox center, withdrawal symptoms like insomnia, fatigue, aches and pains, as well as depression and anxiety are seen.
The Distinction between Detox and Addiction Treatment
Although these two might sound the same, there is a slight difference between them. While detox can be a one-time thing without any follow up, alcohol treatment is characterized by helping the person quit alcohol and also follows up with treatment.
Not only is the addiction dealt with at detox of south Florida but what causes or triggered the addiction is looked into. Addicts also go through cognitive therapy which allows them to determine the cause of their drinking habits and they are taught to better manage situations that might cause a relapse. | medical |

Below is a brief extract from the ABC's Catalyst program which explains how:"Kendle Maslowski
"Once insoluble fibre reaches the large intestines, the bacteria in the gut there use it as a food source and they ferment it, and this produces by-products called short chain fatty acids.
"These short chain fatty acids bind to a receptor on immune cells. This binding instructs immune cells to dampen down inflammation.
"This research is new and exciting because for the first time we've shown a direct link between fibre, bacteria in our gut and control of our immune system.
"Professor Charles MacKay
"The connection between diet and the immune system was somewhat of a fringe topic in immunology. Now we have this molecular link because a breakdown of fibre, so-called short chain fatty acids actually directly stimulate our immune cells and relate to arthritis, asthma, inflammatory bowel disease and other things." | medical |

Innovative companies have already provided insights as to where technology will likely take us within the next decade or so. For seniors, there are a variety of thrilling opportunities that we will (or already can) take advantage of, and it all starts with the most important item of all: our health.
Easier Access to Medical Help
It has only been within the past couple of years in which individuals could easily access professional medial personnel through their smartphone. Today anyone of any age can receive medical advice for non-life threatening health issues by initiating a video call with a doctor. While this technology is still in its early stages, Skyping with a doctor is only expected to increase in popularity and necessity as time goes on.
One obvious challenge which doctors who provide Internet-based medical advice to patients face is that they do not have access to their medical records. With this growing demand for video calls with doctors, it is expected that soon anyone’s medical records will be available online.
What also may go hand in hand with this is remote patient monitoring. Many apps already allow for patients to monitor their weight, their glucose levels, document their symptoms and then send these results to their doctors. If this is tied in with online medical records, doctors who assist patients from afar will have the information they need to know to provide the best medical advice and treatment possible.
Robots as Caregivers
Japanese engineer Toshiharu Mukai has developed a “Robot-Teddy Bear”, a warm and fuzzy assistant who is able to help older or disabled individuals sit, stand, and move into a wheelchair. This is one invention that would be warmly welcomed by health care workers who perform lifting tasks such as these 40 times a work day, if not more.
The primary reason why an individual or their family member may choose to place someone into an assisted living facility is because they fear that they are no longer able to perform tasks safely which are necessary for having a happy and healthy life. In less than ten years it is expected that technologies will exist which will help seniors maintain their independence for as long as possible.
Driving and Navigation: It’s no secret that Google is working hard at developing the world’s first “self-driving” vehicle. So far these prototypes are able to not only drive and park, but they can help those who choose to drive easily navigate hazardous road conditions or even recognize an inattentive driver (at which point the car takes over all driving). “Talking” street signs through a Bluetooth device are also expected to be introduced so those who have difficulties seeing at night (an issue which often plagues those in their golden years) can hear street signs and continue to drive comfortable after the sun has set.
Advanced Safety Monitoring: Forget nanny-cams. It is expected that in a few short years sophisticated monitoring systems will be available which allow friends and loved ones of older or disabled individuals to be informed of a change in behaviour, and if something should be done. Some of these monitors may advise you of when and where a loved one has fallen and if they have gotten up. Other systems will be able tell you if or when an older loved one has taken his or her medication, or if they haven’t gotten out of bed.
“Aging” Homes: There are already stair lifts, walk-in tubs and waist-high power outlets being added to homes of seniors. But the 21st century senior home will go beyond these accommodations. Homes will soon be able to be outfitted with sensors that will inform third parties if a stove burner has been left on after a pot has been removed, or if a garage door has been left open. Many will tell you if the front door is unlocked. It is expected that these tools will become so sophisticated that your appliances will even be able to communicate with one another to relay messages (i.e. your refrigerator will be able to tell your mother’s television that it’s door has been left open. The television will be able to relay that information to your mother the moment she turns it on.).
Lights Are Everywhere
Nowadays having a flashlight attached to a set of keys or included with a mobile phone is commonplace. Some of the trendiest bags and purses available already offer lights on the inside. We should continue to expect to see lighting become available in some of the least expected for most clever of places, such as on restaurant menus or have street signs light up at night. | medical |

If a VolunTourist is truly interested in being of service to the community and/or environment in a given destination, then that individual's health must be a top priority throughout the Life Cycle of the VolunTourism Experience. What can be done in preparation for your trip? What can you do during your trip? How can you best communicate with your physician after your trip regarding any health challenges you had during your experience? I have asked Dr. Donald S. Herip, of Palomar Pomerado Health, to answer this issue's 3Q's.
1) What about your personal experience led you to select health and travel as a professional interest?
"My United States Navy career of 27 years involved travel around the world and living overseas for more than 6 years. I was responsible for medically preparing large groups of military service members for travel to developing areas in the world. I have also evaluated and treated many patients who acquired travel related diseases.
While in developing countries I have participated in many Medical Civic Actions Programs which provide medical care for the local population abroad. This experience has allowed me to personally experience the health status of the local populations in developing countries. One soon realizes that these populations have many health problems that have not been addressed by the standard of care we are used to in the United States.
Presently our clinics prepare corporate travelers, recreational travelers and church mission groups for overseas travel. This preparation serves to decrease some of the worry associated with foreign travel. Most travelers from developed countries are not aware of the health risks while traveling abroad.
For voluntourists, there is probably a greater risk of health challenges, particularly food-born illnesses, as they are often interacting at a very localized level with communities. What would you recommend as preventative measures and recommended interventions for voluntourists as they prepare themselves for their voluntourism experiences?
"Travelers should research the local community destination prior to travel. What diseases and other health risks are present there? What are the medical capabilities of the local community?
Review your own personal health. Are you up to date in routine medical and dental care?
A routine dental problem can result in significant pain and require a change in travel plans to enable an early return home for care. Travelers would be well advised to obtain their routine dental care prior to their travel.
Are you physically fit to perform the anticipated activities? Do you have any other medical conditions that may be affected by travel such as heart disease, lung disease, pregnancy, etc? Will you be traveling to high altitudes that would stress on your heart and lungs? Be sure to check with your physician to be sure you are fit to travel. Many times people are more active during their trips. They may not be accustomed to walking long distances carrying heavy luggage. Thus, they should train with an appropriate exercise program to assure they are physically fit for the extra physical stress that accompanies travel.
Are your immunizations up to date? Routine immunizations like tetanus, measles, influenza, etc. need to be updated. Additionally travel specific immunizations such a typhoid fever, yellow fever, polio, etc. may be required depending on the destination areas. Your physician can provide specific advice regarding immunization requirements.
Thus, preparation for an overseas trip must be planned well ahead of time to assure adequate time to accomplish routine medical care and establish immunity from vaccine preventable infectious diseases.
Do not forget to adhere to other safe practices that may lead to injuries while traveling. Travelers should be aware of the significant hazards involved with motor vehicle accidents while in developing countries. Vehicles, road conditions, and driving habits in developing countries are quite different from what people experience. Be sure to use caution when traveling on unfamiliar roads.
What will you do should you become ill? Do you have a medical evacuation plan? What medical expenses will your health insurance cover should you become ill while abroad? Check your health insurance policy before traveling to determine what medical expenses are covered while abroad. Travelers may also establish contingency plans should a natural disaster occur such as an earthquake, flood, volcano eruption, etc.
3) H1N1 certainly had its influence on travel in 2009; in some circles it is anticipated it will have an even greater impact in 2010 and beyond. What other infectious diseases and illnesses do you think are far less publicized yet voluntourists should be aware of in their travels abroad?
"Infectious diseases not normally seen in the United States are more common in developing countries such as measles, tuberculosis, tetanus, diphtheria, etc.
Traveler's diarrhea is a very common travel acquired infectious disease. The water and sewage infrastructure in developing countries is many times not adequate allowing contamination of the water supply. Thus travelers must pay strict attention to their food and water supply. Travelers also to be aware of self treatment interventions should they experience diarrhea. Once symptoms develop travelers need to assure adequate hydration with appropriate fluids. They should also carry a prescription antibiotic medication in its original container used to treat bacterial diarrhea if the symptoms are severe. The choice of antibiotic needs to be discussed with your physician.
Sexually transmitted diseases are also common among travelers. While abroad some travelers may not exercise common sense and restraint regarding casual sexual contact. They should be advised to avoid contact with commercial sex workers.
Insects may spread a variety of disease. Most travelers are aware of mosquitoes transmitting malaria. However, many other diseases spread by mosquitoes and other insects. Thus, travelers need to wear appropriate clothing, sleep in screened areas, and use insect repellents. The most common insect repellents contain N, N,-diethyl-M-toluamide (DEET). The repellent should be applied to exposed skin. Adults should use a formulation with 20-50% DEET concentration whereas a lesser concentration of DEET is recommended for children to prevent adverse effects such as skin irritation. The repellent benefit is not greatly increased by using higher concentrations of DEET. If DEET creams are used with sunscreens apply the sunscreen first. The efficacy and duration of repellent protection is affected by temperature, perspiration, exposure to water, and other factors.

They are hawked by athletes and celebrities alike. The Atkins diet was the fad for a while, replacing the earlier trend of diet pills and the Slim Fast milkshake.
Yet, doctors say fad dieting does not work. So what is going on here? If diets don’t work, why do people perpetually try them? Well, people want them to work. They often hope for a quick-fix or a miracle result. The truth is, though, the best way to lose weight is a nutritious portion-controlled diet and regular exercises.
The word ‘diet’, in itself, is not a bad one. A diet is what a person or species eats. A diet in the terms of a fad strategy or a short-term process is something negative. The body suffers if you drastically change the food habit even for a few weeks.
A person on a ‘bad’ diet might not get enough calories, fibre, or protein that the body requires. The immune system might weaken and there is even a high chance of malnutrition. Dieters who cut out carbohydrates might not understand the difference between good and bad ones and eliminate foods that the body needs.
Other negative effects of trend dieting are hair loss, headaches, fainting, depression, a lowered sex drive, and fatigue. Besides, according to the famous Mann study, people who temporarily diet and then return to earlier eating patterns usually gain back the weight they lost – or more so!
So what are good eating strategies?
Well, people need to listen to their doctors. A balanced diet, with protein, good carbohydrates, and plenty of fruits and vegetables is the best. Snacks and treats, like pop and chips, should be minimized. That doesn’t mean you can never have a slice of cake, just a small one, and not every day.
Drinking water is useful in so many ways. It helps with metabolism and prevents dehydration. Fad or short-term diets should be avoided, and long-term food patterns need to be changed. Workouts are a must. It is recommended that people exercise sixty minutes a day. This regular physical activity will help them maintain a healthy body weight.
Changing patterns and routines is not the easiest course of action. People eat food which is unhealthy because it is tasty and they used to eat it. Have you ever thought of going to a movie without popcorn? Restraint is not easy. But, luckily, movie, theatres, grocery stores, and restaurants offer healthier food options.
It’s just the behaviour of the consumer that needs to be altered. It’s best that people change their food habits slowly, making a few changes each day or week, instead of trying to change everything in one go.
And restricting food intake, by eating fewer meals a day is not advisable. That will put the body in a ‘survival mode’, causing it to hold onto every calorie it does get, and as a result lead anxiety and depression. Eating three meals a day, or even 5-6 smaller ones, is good for the body and for maintaining a healthy weight.
In conclusion, the best advice for anyone worried about the weight is to eat healthy food and do exercises regularly. There are very few quick-fix solutions in the world for dealing with money, work … or even losing weight. Manage your food intake by thinking about eating smaller amounts and adding more veggies.
The thesis of this essay is that the best way to lose weight is to eat a balanced diet of proper portions and to exercise regularly. ( “The truth is, though, the best way to lose weight is a nutritious portion-controlled diet and regular exercises”).
The statement in the opening paragraph is proved by the information found in the three body paragraphs which explain a) why fad/short-term diets are bad, b) explaining what people should do if they want to lose weight, and c) explaining why people have difficulties with changing food habits.
Through the discourse of the essay, the difference between diet patterns and ‘fad’ dieting are explained, as well as the disadvantages of the latter. | medical |

We are all too familiar with the visible riding gear: helmet, goggles, neck collars, gloves, riding shirt and pants, and boots. Then there are some very important “below the surface” extras such as knee braces, elbow pads, chest protectors and kidney belts. A kidney belt is a piece of gear no serious rider should be without. Let’s learn a little about kidney belts and why they should be a definite thumbs up’.
Your kidneys are located in the middle of your back, right below the rib cage, with one on each side of your spine. They are bean shaped and are about the size of your fist. The kidneys are imbedded in a mass of fatty tissue. They are very small organs by weight, but they receive 20% of the blood pumped by the heart. The kidneys require such a large amount of blood in order to perform the following functions:
- Control the make-up of your blood
- Keep the levels of ions and other substances steady
- Maintain the volume of water in your body
- Excrete wastes from the body (through urine)
- Steady the levels of acid/base in the blood
- Aids in maintaining your blood pressure
- Support the production of red blood cells
- Regulates the body’s calcium levels
The back is made up of 3 sections: the Cervical Spine, Thoracic Spine and the Lumbosacral Spine. The Lumbosacral Spine, the lowest most part of the back, is the area most affected when riding motocross.
A lumbar curve subjected to poor posture when riding and repeated bouncing and jerking motions can cause nerve compression, irritation, inflammation, and may result in any of the following types of lower back related symptoms or pain:
- Dull ache
- Sharp, shooting, or stabbing pain
- Spasm or tension
- Pins and needles feeling
- Numbness or tingling
- Burning pain
- Feelings of back fatigue
- Radiating pain into the hip, buttock, thigh, leg, or foot
- Pain aggravated by movements or positions
What is a kidney belt?
Kidney belts are generally made from some sort of breathable, elastic fabric and Velcro. They are thicker at the back and narrower at the front. This is to protect the kidneys, located at the back, and at the same time, not disrupt the normal breathing pattern. They stretch around the lowest part of the back and the waist region, usually fastening at the side or front.
When purchasing a kidney belt, most sizing is done by measuring inches around the waist. All brands are different, so be sure to pay careful attention to the sizing. It should fasten securely and tightly around the waist area without constricting your breathing. Kidney belts can be purchased alone or they can also be connected to body armor or a ballistic jersey. This is a great way to get chest, shoulder, elbow and kidney protection all in one.
Why use a kidney belt?
Kidney belts are designed to serve a couple purposes. The first is to help keep your kidneys and neighboring organs protected and the second is to help stabilize your back.
First, your kidneys are not connected to any strong structures, but instead are nestled inside fatty tissue. This means that they are easily moved and jiggled around. When out for a ride, especially dirt tracks or trail rides, your body is put through a large amount of bouncing and jostling. Going over jumps, taking sharp turns, hitting ruts, rocks or roots will all give your insides a good shaking. This can cause pain and tenderness after your ride, along with kidney bruising and blood in your urine. A kidney belt, when properly fastened, helps to reduce the amount of movement to your insides, thus reducing the pain you’ll feel at the end of a long day on your bike. Also, if you are unfortunate enough to have a crash, your kidney belt can help protect you against injuries to that area of your body, such as handlebars to the gut or contact with another rider or bike.
Secondly, it helps to aid in the reduction of pain in the lower lumbar area. When out for a long ride, your back will undoubtedly begin to ache. The stress put on a dirt bike rider’s body is unmatched. The constant training, practicing, and racing puts a large amount of stress on all muscles of your body and the back is affected big time. When in the seated attack position, such as in cornering, the lower lumbar region is the core area of support for your upper body. A kidney belt helps to stabilize your upper body and allows the rider to have maximum leverage over the bike, allowing them to be more aggressive and steer the bike in the direction it needs to go. When riding with a kidney belt, the rider is forced into a more upright sitting position, which will in turn help in the after affects of a long, hard ride. Lower back supports can reduce stress, and strain – and help to prevent further lower back injury, damage, and related pain.
When riding, a kidney belt not only protects the kidneys and other vulnerable lower area internal organs, it also provides great stability and support for the lower back. Many riders say it gives them extra confidence and also helps with fatigue after a long ride. You can never be too protected?we recommend you play it safe and get fastened!! | medical |

Posted on 05 October 2018
When October comes around, the color pink is extra popular. That's because it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This is very near and dear to our hearts at Anthony's Ladies Apparel, and we want to encourage our customers to be aware and be preventative. For years, our stores have partnered with the Florida Breast Cancer Foundation. We will be collecting donations for the entirety of October. As an awareness campaign, this has been incredibly successful. So, don't forget to wear pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
Why to Support Breast Cancer Awareness
Did you know that besides skin cancer, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among American women? Medical researchers as well as members of the Susan G. Komen Foundation have found that about one in eight women in the United States develop breast cancer over the course of their lifetimes.
How to Practice Breast Cancer PreventionDoctors remind us that early detection of breast cancer is the most effective way to beat the disease. That is why it is essential for women to conduct their own breast exams to discover any potential abnormalities. Pay attention to changes in the appearance or feel of your breasts.
Doctors Recommend to:
-Take a look at your breasts every day and notice their appearance and shape.
-changes in breast size, shape, skin texture, or color
-dimpling or puckering
-discharge from the nipples
-scaliness of the skin
-nipple pulling to one side
-lump or mass in the breast
-enlarged lymph node under the arm
And of course, if you notice any of these changes, you should bring them up to your doctor. Routine screenings with your doctor can also help with prevention. Women over the age of 40 should get a mammogram every single year.
Pink Looks for Breast Cancer Awareness
Because exercise reduces breast cancer risk for women of all body types, why not throw on a pink sun shirt, like the Pocket UPF 50 Pullover Top by BLOQ UV, and hit the pavement or the beach for a beautiful, life-saving walk?
Tribals' Scoop Neck Knit Tee is made from a soft cotton, and is great on its own or perfect as a base layer. This is comfortable and great to wear to your preventative doctor's appointment.
The Kiss Change Purse by ILI is a lovely pink complement for any outfit. Just grab it and go!
Classic and simple, this Rhinestone Shawl by Jones New York is perfect to dress up your look on a cool evening. It is lightweight, easy, and will keep you covered and cozy.
Stop in or scroll through the site to shop for more pink at Anthony's Ladies Apparel. Your purchase will support breast cancer awareness!

We are so pleased to have her and all her vast knowledge and experience in public health. We are looking forward to this new chapter and the exciting energy and ideas it will bring to the Kekeli Program!
A note from Brandy:
I am honored to serve as the Executive Director of such a fantastic organization doing meaningful work in rural Ghana. What attracted me most to this role and opportunity was participating in an impactful mission in the “motherland.” Until recently, I had only dreamt of visiting Africa (visited Egypt in 2022) and feeling connected to my lost heritage.
I am excited to use my public health and leadership expertise to propel RHC to even greater heights. I am passionate about community-based work, rural community service, promoting health equity, and providing communities with the tools and resources to flourish. I have had an exciting professional career in adolescent sexual health and family planning programs, immigrant/migrant/refugee health evaluation, US-based rural healthcare delivery technical assistance, public health training, and public health education as an adjunct professor. I am excited to engage in maternal and child health, health education, minority and global health, and training through the RHC initiatives. Adding global public health to the mix is a natural fit for me, and I look forward to learning and growing as a person and a professional through this connection with the Kekeli women and their work. Thank you for entrusting me as your humble servant and leader.
Additionally, I love traveling domestically and internationally and having regular dining experiences around Atlanta, GA with my husband, Kyle. A fun fact about me is I am a fraternal twin although people think my sister and I are identical, and my husband is an identical twin! A strange coincidence, but having a twin sibling is so much fun. I look forward to meeting [those of] you in Ghana and exploring the endless possibilities!!!

I have more than 13 years of experience in the fields of genomics, bioinformatics, data mining, and cancer research. My research is focused on improving our understanding of cancer biology and the development of personalized medicine strategies for cancer using genomics and informatics technologies. I develop bioinformatics and statistical methods for the analysis of high throughput sequence data and identification of biomarkers for diagnostic, prognostic and drug response prediction. In collaboration with our Genomics Tumor Board, I am currently leading analyses of sequence data from the genomes and transcriptomes of living cancer patients that have exhausted standard-of-care treatment options. I am also leading the analysis of several large-scale genomics projects to help discover genomic signatures relevant to cancer initiation, progression and treatment response. I am an instructor for the Canadian Bioinformatics Workshops and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory high-throughput sequencing workshop series. I have received numerous competitive research awards from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, University of Winnipeg, University of British Columbia, National Cancer Institute of Canada and British Columbia Cancer Agency. I was also a Junior and Senior Trainee of the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research. I was profiled as an "up and coming" investigator in Genome Technology Magazine and listed in Wired Magazine second annual smart list as an emerging talent. Most recently, I was awarded an NHGRI K99 Pathway to Independence Award to developed integrated analysis and interpretation methods for whole genome, exome and transcriptome sequence data in cancer. In particular, I am focused on applying these methods to better understand the regulatory consequence of somatic mutations that are otherwise of unknown functional significance. I have also made substantial contributions to open source and open access resources for the scientific community including creation of platforms for alternative expression analysis (www.alexaplatform.org), regulatory region annotation (www.oreganno.org), mining drug-gene interactions (www.dgidb.org), genome analysis development (https://github.com/genome/gms), curation of functional cancer mutations (www.docm.info), the clinical interpretation of variants in cancer (www.civicdb.org). I have published 39 papers with major areas of focus in precision medicine, AML, colon cancer, lung cancer, cancer genomics, cancer biomarkers, sequence analysis, and alternative splicing. The following paragraphs describe some general contributions to science and provide an overview of my current research interests. For more specific details refer to the publications section.
For the past 12 years I have worked continuously at two large-scale genome sequencing and analysis centers. Early access to new technologies has allowed me to develop cutting edge approaches for genome, transcriptome, and epigenome analysis. For example, I helped to develop some of the first massively parallel sequencing assays for microRNAs, alternative expression analysis of RNA-seq data, copy number variant analysis by tumor whole genome sequencing, RNA-seq and cDNA capture of challenging archival (FFPE) clinical samples, and epigenetic profiling by ChIP-seq.
Alternative splicing and gene regulation
An area of particular focus in my research has been the development of new massively parallel assays to study alternative expression (alternative transcript initiation, splicing, and polyadenylation). Following on from early work in the Mammalian Gene Collection project to produce a catalogue of all human transcripts, I developed a custom microarray design platform for alternative expression analysis (ALEXA, www.alexaplatform.org/alexa_arrays/). With the advent of massively parallel sequencing, I adapted the principles and analysis methods learned from my work with splicing microarrays to create an alternative splicing analysis platform ALEXA-seq to mine RNA-seq data (www.alexaplatform.org/alexa_seq/). I have since applied these approaches to address several specific biological questions relating to the mechanisms of RNA transcript processing and aberrant RNA splicing observed in tumors, particularly blood cancers where mutations in certain splicing factors such as U2AF1 are common.
In addition to tools and algorithms developed for analysis of RNA-seq data in the context of alternative splicing I have helped to release many other bioinformatic tools, databases, and web resources including tools with very focused applications such as SciClone, ALEXA-Seq and DGIdb but also resources with much broader application including the Genome Modeling System and an RNA-seq analysis resource for cloud computing (www.rnaseq.wiki). I am currently co-leading the development of the first completely open-source and open-access resource to define a community consensus on the clinical interpretation of variants in cancer (www.civicdb.org). A theme of all of these efforts is transparent development including version tracked source code and unrestrictive licensing of both the code and the content produced so that the community can benefit most efficiently from this work.
Developing new methods, assays, algorithms and bioinformatics tools is a means to an end in my research program. My goal is to apply these to improve our understanding of cancer biology and to translate discoveries into improved outcomes for patients suffering from cancer. I have applied these new methods to address specific biological questions in several cancer types and treatment scenarios. These studies range from creating the first genomic landscapes of some cancer types such as lung cancer, to pursuing specific candidate biomarkers of therapeutic resistance in colon cancer, to defining the clonal architecture of AML.
My greatest research interest is personalized or precision medicine. I am broadly interested in the translation of genomics data from whole genome, exome and transcriptome sequencing into clinically actionable observations and personalized cancer therapies. In 2010, I was involved in one of the first attempts to sequence the genome of a patient in real time and personalize therapy based on the analysis of this data. In 2011, I helped to lead the analysis of a second case that lead to a widely reported discovery of aberrant FLT3 over-expression and unique therapeutic intervention in a case of adult ALL. Since those two cases I have continued to focus on the work needed to make clinical genome sequencing of individual patients a reality. To date, I have contributed to the analysis of hundreds of tumors representing more than ten tumor types in collaboration with over a dozen clinicians. | medical |

The pain may range from dull and heavy to severe and extreme. Primary dysmenorrhea is the most common type. It is characterised by pain in the lower abdomen that can occur 1-2 days before and last the length of her period. In this situation, there are no underlying conditions causing the pain. Secondary dysmenorrhea is characterised by pain due to an underlying condition e.g. endometriosis, uterine fibroids or pelvic inflammatory disease.
Oestrogen dominance is the most common cause of period pain, as pain is a symptom of hormone imbalance. Symptoms are your body’s way of communicating with you, because it does not have a voice to talk. Check out my Women’s World Tonic and Oestrogen Dominance Blog.
Symptoms may also include lower back pain, nausea, vomiting, sweating, dizziness, constipation or diarrhoea (often constipation before and loose stools during), fluid retention and cyclic headaches.
Magnesium helps to relax muscles, the uterus is a muscle. Magnesium also helps to relieve constipation, as the bowel is also a muscle. Food sources include leafy green vegetables, nuts, seeds and cacao. It is difficult to obtain sufficient quantities through diet, therefore, supplementation may be inevitable. Choose a supplement with 300-500mg per day. Tip: a simple test to determine if you are magnesium deficient is to stick your tongue out in front of a mirror – slight shaking or quivering indicates magnesium deficiency.
Ginger is anti-inflammatory, enhances blood circulation and reduces nausea. Enhancing blood circulation may improve period pain. Ginger can be taken fresh, dried, as tea, crystallised or as ginger beer/ale.
Omega 3 is also anti-inflammatory and stimulates blood circulation. Animal sources include salmon, sardines, mackerel, anchovies and other fatty fish. Plant sources include walnuts, flaxseeds, chia seeds and hemp seeds (and their oils). Animal sources are more bioavailable (easily absorbed) than plant sources as they are already in their active form.
Evening primrose oil contains essential fatty acids. It may balance hormones and reduce symptoms associated with hormone imbalance. Evening primrose oil is taken in liquid or capsule form.
Herbal tea warms the body and promotes blood circulation. Try ginger, chamomile and peppermint. Use a saucer as a lid on the cup, keep the tea bag in and brew it strong for full benefits of the herbs. The lid traps in the volatile oils which would otherwise evaporate into the air and escape.
Warm bath or hot water bottle to increase blood circulation. Have a hot bath with epsom salt, as this is magnesium sulphate. Epsom salt is partially absorbed through the skin, which increases the magnesium levels in our body. Add about 10 drops of relaxing essential oil to your bath, like lavender, ylang ylang, bergamot, chamomile or frankincense.
Essential oils not only smell nice, but they are therapeutic. Massage 2-3 drops of clary sage or cypress essential oil on your lower abdomen and apply a warm compress on top for 2-5 minutes. Clary sage helps to balance hormones and cypress improves circulation.
Herbal Medicine – Licorice and White peony are effective at relieving period pain. Chaste tree is well known at rebalancing oestrogen and progesterone, which is a common cause of period pain. Antispasmodic herbs help to relieve smooth muscle spasms (the uterus is an example of smooth muscle, as opposed to skeletal muscle). Carminative herbs soothe intestinal spasm and pain. Circulatory stimulant herbs improve blood flow through body tissues, including the uterus.
Consult with me to determine if herbs or supplements are indicated in your individual case. | medical |

This website provides information on Nandrolone Decanoate as manufactured by Organon Pakistan and Norma Greece. Also provided is information to bodybuilders using this particular anabolic steroid.
Chemical Name: Estr-4-en-3-one, 17-((1-oxodecyl)oxy)-, (17beta)
What does the manufacturer Organon say?
Action: Deca-Durabolin"100" is a high dosage form of nandrolone decanoate designed especially for adjuvant therapy in the treatment of certain blood disorders. Nandrolone the pharmacologically active substance of the preparation, is chemically related to the male hormone. Compared to testosterone, it has an enhanced anabolic and reduced androgenic activity. This has been demonstrated in animal bioassays and explained by receptor binding studies. The low androgenicity of nandrolone is confirmed in clinical use.
In animals, nandrolone decanoate possesses an erythropiesis-stimulating effect probably by directly stimulating the haematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow and by increasing the release of erythropoietin. It also affords protection against bone marrow depression caused by cytotoxic agents. In the human, Deca-Durabolin "100" stimulates erythropoiesis as demonstrated by rises in the red blood cell mass, and in the haemoglobin and haematocrit values. This effect is utilized therapeutically in the treatment of anaemia due to a decreased production of erythropoietin, bone marrow depression induced by chemotherapy, or hypoplasia of the stem cells in the bone marrow. In the latter condition (e.g. aplastic anaemia) the erythropoietic response is frequently accompanied by a positive on leucopoiesis and thrombopoises. Androgenic effects (e.g. virilisation) are relatively uncommon at the recommended dosages. Nandrolone lacks the C17 alpha-alkyl group which is associated with the occurrence of liver dysfunction and cholestatsis.
Nandrolone decanoate is slowly released from the injection site into the blood with a half life of 6 days. In the blood the ester is rapidly hydrolysed to nandrolone with a half life of one hour or less. The half life for the combined process of hydrolysis of nandrolone decanoate and of distribution and elimination of nandrolone is 4-3 hours. Nandrolone is metabolized by the liver, 19-norepiandrosterone have been identified as metabolites in the urine. It is not known whether these metabolites display a pharmacological action.
Deca-Durabolin"100" should be administered by deep intramuscular injection.
Use during pregnancy and breast-feeding
this medicine is contraindicated during pregnancy because of possible masculinization of the foetus. There are insufficient data on the use of the medicine during breastfeeding to assess potential harm to the infant or a possible influence on milk production.
Warnings and precautions
-The recommended dosage should not be exceeded
-If signs of virilisation develop, discontinuation of the treatment should be considered, preferably in consultation with the patient.
-It is recommended to monitor patients with any of the following conditions:
Anabolic Steroids may improve glucose tolerance and decrease the need for insulin or other antidiabetic medicines in diabetes.
Although only one possible case of interaction with an oral anticoagulant has been observed, it is advisable to check the prothrombin time regularly when Deca-Durabolin"100" is used in patients on anticoagulant therapy.
The high dosages, which are required to obtain a therapeutic effect in the indications may cause:
The acute toxicity of nandrolone decanoate in animals is very low. There are no reports of acute overdosage with Deca-Durabolin"100" in the human.
Keep in a dry place between 2-30°C away from light.
Info For Bodybuilders
Deca Durabolin is the brand name for nandrolone decanoate. World wide Deca is one of the most popular injectable steroids. It's popularity is likely due to the fact that Deca exhibits significant anabolic effects with minimal androgenic side effects. Considered by many the best overall steroid for a man to use (side effects vs. results) Deca is most commonly injected once per week at a dosage of 200-400mg. With this amount, estrogen conversion is slight so gyno is usually not a problem. Also uncommon are problems with liver enzymes, blood pressure or cholesterol levels. At higher dosages, side effects may become increasingly more frequent, but this is still a very well tolerated drug.
For bodybuilding, Deca can effectively be incorporated in both mass and cutting cycles. One major drawback to Deca is that it can be detected in a drug screen for as long as a year after use. Deca durabolin is considered to be the most popular of all steroids. It is an oil based injectable that comes in 100 mg/cc containers. It produces very few side effects. Deca durabolin is easy on the liver and promotes good size and strength gains while reducing body fat. Deca only aromatizes (converts to estrogen) in extreme dosages. It is highly anabolic but only moderately androgenic. Deca durabolin does shut down natural testosterone production, but it is not extreme. Gains will minimally dissipate, if at all, after the cycling period if workouts are kept intense. Usual dose is 200 mg per week with highs ranging 200 mg a day. The average duration is about 2 to 4 month.
There are very few side effects. Blood clotting time is increased so that some people may experience bloody noses when they are dehydrated. Deca durabolin is generally considered by athletes and sports medicine physicians to be the safest and most effective injectable anabolic steroid. Nandrolone decanoate is mildly androgenic and is becoming increasingly popular with women bodybuilders. Although side effects similar to those of other steroids have been reported, the effects are relatively uncommon when compared to other forms of steroids. Nandrolone does not effect the immune system, unlike testosterone! It will not damage connective tissue, i.e. elbows, knees (Big problem amongst heavy steroid users). It does not aromatize easily and gives the body a lean hard look.

There are essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that your developing baby needs. Most foods are safe; however, there are some foods that you should avoid during pregnancy. Some may seem obvious, like drinking alcohol and smoking, but others are not so obvious. We have compiled a list for your review.
Raw Meat: Uncooked seafood and rare or undercooked beef or poultry should be avoided because of the risk of contamination with coliform bacteria, toxoplasmosis, and salmonella. This is especially hard for sushi lovers, but items like California rolls, or cooked items like shrimp tempura rolls are still ok.
Deli Meat: Deli meats have been known to be contaminated with listeria, which can cause miscarriage. Listeria has the ability to cross the placenta and may infect the baby leading to infection or blood poisoning, which may be life-threatening. If you are pregnant, or trying to get pregnant ,and you are considering eating deli meats, make certain that you reheat the meat until it is steaming .
Fish with Mercury: Fish that contain high levels of mercury should be avoided. Mercury consumed during pregnancy has been linked to developmental delays and brain damage. A sample of these types of fish include: shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish.
Smoked Seafood -Refrigerated, smoked seafood often labeled as lox, nova style, kippered, or jerky should be avoided because it could be contaminated with Listeria. (These are safe to eat when they are in an ingredient in a meal that has been cooked, like a casserole.)
Raw Shellfish: The majority of seafood-borne illness is caused by undercooked shellfish, which include oysters, clams, and mussels. Cooking helps prevent some types of infection, but it does not prevent the algae-related infections that are associated with red tides. Raw shellfish pose a concern for everybody, and they should be avoided altogether during pregnancy.
Raw Eggs: Raw eggs or any foods that contain raw eggs should be avoided because of the potential exposure to salmonella. Some homemade Caesar dressings, mayonnaise, homemade ice cream or custards, and Hollandaise sauces may be made with raw eggs
Soft Cheeses: Imported soft cheeses may also contain bacteria called Listeria You would need to avoid soft cheeses such as: Brie, Camembert, Roquefort, Feta, Gorgonzola and Mexican style cheeses that include queso blanco and queso fresco, unless they clearly state that they are made from pasteurized milk. All soft non-imported cheeses made with pasteurized milk are safe to eat.
Un pasteurized Milk: Un pasteurized milk may contain a bacteria called listeria Make sure that any milk you drink is pasteurized.
Pate: Refrigerated pate or meat spreads should be avoided because they may contain the bacteria listeria. Canned pate, or shelf-safe meat spreads can be eaten.
Caffeine: Although most studies show that caffeine intake in moderation is OK, there are others that show that caffeine intake may be related to miscarriages. Avoid caffeine during the first trimester to reduce the likelihood of a miscarriage. As a general rule, caffeine should be limited to fewer than 200 mg per day during pregnancy. Caffeine is a diuretic, which means it helps eliminate fluids from the body. This can result in water and calcium loss. It is important that you are drinking plenty of water, juice, and milk rather than caffeinated beverages. Some research shows that large amounts of caffeine are associated with miscarriage, premature birth, low birth weight, and withdrawal symptoms in infants. The safest thing is to refrain from consuming caffeine.
Alcohol: There is NO amount of alcohol that is known to be safe during pregnancy, and therefore alcohol should be avoided during pregnancy. Prenatal exposure to alcohol can interfere with the healthy development of the baby. Depending on the amount, timing, and pattern of use, alcohol consumption during pregnancy can lead to Fetal Alcohol Syndrome or other developmental disorders. If you consumed alcohol before you knew you were pregnant, stop drinking now. You should continue to avoid alcohol during breastfeeding. Exposure of alcohol to an infant poses harmful risks, and alcohol does reach the baby during breastfeeding.
Unwashed Vegetables: Yes, vegetables are safe to eat, so you still need to eat them. However, it is essential to make sure they are washed to avoid potential exposure to toxoplasmosis. Toxoplasmosis may contaminate the soil where the vegetables were grown. | medical |

(Image source here) We are told our body is between 60 and 70% water. Our blood is mostly water, our cells, muscles, lungs and brain need water to function. Water helps us to hydrate our body, carry nutrients and oxygen to our cells, removes toxins and waste, and protects our organs. But the body is also constantly losing water - through urination, breathing, and sweat. And when we lose more water than we can replenish, the body suffers from dehydration.
According to Dr. Google and About.com, symptoms of mild dehydration include headaches, daytime fatigue, constipation, lower back pain, and even chronic joint and muscle pain. The skin dries out (read: you look older!), and a yellow or amber colour to your urine confirms the diagnosis. I personally think that a lot of people suffer from mild dehydration without realizing it - and if you drink a lot of coffee and little water, you might be one of them!
I have become hyper-sensitive to dehydration. I can tell when my headaches or moods are water related. Drinking enough water not only clears my head but it helps me to be a nicer person to be around! People also report that drinking enough water helps to relieve insomnia, curb overeating (Ayurveda tells us that at mealtimes the stomach should be 1/4 full of water, 1/2 full of food, and 1/4 empty), and keep their skin looking young and healthy.
Thirst, of course, is the most obvious symptom of dehydration but in fact, your body may need water long before you are thirsty! So, how much water do we need to drink to stay hydrated? [NB, about 20% of your daily water intake comes from food, but the rest we have to drink.]
Well, the answer depends on many factors including the climate, your diet, how much exercise you are doing, and how much you sweat. Someone doing 90 minutes of sweaty exercise a day will need to replenish more fluids than someone mostly sedentary. Also, if you eat a lot of salty food, or drink a lot of caffeine or alcohol, you will need to drink more water because these foods exacerbate dehydration. Some sports drinks or 'enhanced water' drinks offer the additional advantage of including electrolytes that help to increase re-hydration. But be careful, many of them also contain way too much sugar and other additives.
About.com offers this handy equation: Take your body weight in pounds, and divide that number in half. That gives you the base number of ounces of water you should drink every day. Then, add even more water if you exercise, live in an arid climate, or sweat a lot! I did this calculation and it actually seems pretty accurate - according to the calc., I should drink about 65 oz, or 1.9 litres of water a day. I reckon on an average day I drink between 2 and 4 litres, depending on how hot it is an my level of activity.
Some good tips from About.com on staying hydrated:
- Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day.
- Drink fluids slowly by constantly sipping throughout the day.
- Don't drink caffeinated drinks or alcoholic beverages, which can actually have a dehydrating effect.
- When flying in an airplane, drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol.
- Drink water before, during, and after exercise--slowly!
- Carry a water bottle whenever possible, especially when participating in outdoor activities in warm weather.
Finally, let's not forget: there is such thing as too much of a good thing. Avoid trying to drink your entire daily intake of water all at once, and check with a doctor if you have any kidney problems or other issues that might affect your body's ability to absorb water.
So readers, what is your experience with hydration or dehydration? How much water do you drink a day? | medical |

Below we highlight the measures suggested by the Arun Mansukhani (Malaga) psychologists’ cabinet.
PSYCHOLOGICAL RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Given the exceptional situation imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic, we want to share some reflections and indications aimed at helping us to maintain emotional and psychological balance. First of all, there are two important elements in this situation that affect people’s emotional balance:
1. The perception of risk.
2. Isolation situations imposed by quarantine.
Regarding RISK PECEPCTION, it must be said that it is too high in the population given the objective situation in which we find ourselves. It must be remembered that our mind does not objectively process the situation, but uses a series of heuristics or «shortcuts». Thus, due to the amount of information circulating about the virus, the disease, the count of the victims, etc., our mind, due to the accessibility and impact heuristic, tends to «think» that the risk is much greater than what it is.
This causes our brains to go into “defense” mode and do things like gathering food (unnecessary) or, as we are seeing in the USA. in recent days, an increase in arms sales.
Excessive fear generally leads people to make non-rational decisions. This high perception of risk also increases anxiety, hypochondriacal thoughts, fear of contact with others, etc. In addition, in extreme cases, if people feel helpless, they can abandon the healthy behaviors that must be carried out to reasonably prevent infection.
To avoid this, it is important to:
1. Not being connected all the time and being informed of the evolution of the pandemic. It is better to choose a reliable source and get information once a day (on the mid-day news for example) or two at the most. The rest of the time, spend doing or thinking about things not related to the pandemic.
2. Contextualize the information (relating the number of deaths with those of other diseases, such as the flu, helps to provide that context) and relating the negative information to the positive (number of people who died and the number of people who have overcome the infection, for example).
3. Pay attention to the specific indications that reliable sources give us about how we should proceed and what are the reasonable protective behaviors. Focus on carrying out those healthy and logical behaviors.
4. Keep busy with scheduled activities throughout the day (see next section).
5. Remember that most people will be asymptomatic or with mild symptoms and that what we are really trying to do is slow down the contagion curve so as not to collapse the health systems. The goal is not so much not to contract the coronavirus as to prevent its rapid expansion. Most of us will have Covid-19, or maybe already have it, and it will not be a serious risk to your health.
Regarding the situations that arise from INSULATION:
1. It is very important to maintain a routine that includes: hours of sleep and adequate rest, adequate food (it may be necessary to reduce a little due to the decrease in physical activity) and, very important, physical exercise. There are many videos and tutorials available on the web for this purpose.
2. Limit the number of hours per day in front of screens. Greatly limit the search for information on the Covid-19 (see previous section).
3. Have, if possible, short periods a day of sun exposure and clarity, even through glass. It is important for the assimilation of vitamin D and the immune system, as well as for the circadian rhythm.
4. Maintain adequate daily personal hygiene and dress while maintaining a good appearance, even if one is not going to leave home.
5. Maintain social contact (calls, video calls, etc.) with friends and family. Participate in group sessions through the different programs and applications that allow it (Skype, Zoom, WhatsApp, Jitsi Meet, Facetime, etc).
6. Schedule activities and times to do them throughout the day (reading, yoga, etc.), not making them depend on the mood of each moment.
7. Do activities at home with family members: games, sports, etc.
8. Get used to this slower pace in general; remember that certain doses of boredom are good for the mind.
9. Think about the activities that must be done day by day, not discounting the remaining days so that the quarantine ends.
10. Feeling that we are part of a community, that we are all in this together, feeling the support of others, even from a distance. Participate in as many group activities as possible to increase this feeling (go out to clap on the balcony, for example).
11. Remember that we are facing an exceptional and unique situation, that we have never lived before and that we may not live again. Take advantage of this time that they have given us to do things that we would otherwise not find time to do at home: read, paint, order, etc.
We hope that these simple guidelines help you spend this quarantine time better.

What is positional plagiocephaly?
The newborn infant’s head is quite pliable, allowing it to pass through the birth canal and grow rapidly throughout the first year of life. Brain growth continuously pushes against the bones of the skull to expand the head until the sutures (fibrous connections between the bones) begin to fuse between 18 and 24 months. Many infant heads have some degree of asymmetry. In most cases, the infant’s head resumes a symmetrical shape by 6 weeks of age as the confining conditions that caused the temporary deformation are eliminated. Abnormal head shape beyond this period may indicate a condition requiring further medical observation and/or treatment.
Positional plagiocephaly is characterized by unusual flattening of the head and often a prominent or flattened forehead is visible. Plagiocephaly exhibits a variety of different head shapes. It includes those that have flattening on one side of the back of the head with an asymmetric forehead, and brachycephalic head shapes that are flat across the entire back of the head with very prominent foreheads. Another type of head shape, scaphocephaly, is long and narrow, and more common for infants that spent extended time in neonatal intensive care units.
In any of these deformities, the ear alignment may be affected and the infant may also have facial asymmetry. Several treatment options are recommended including repositioning techniques to move the infant off the flattened area of the head, physical therapy to stretch tight neck muscles, and treatment with a cranial remolding orthosis such as the STARband™.
When parents first notice that their infant has an unusual head shape, they often bring it to their pediatrician’s attention. At that time, the physician encourages repositioning and evaluates head circumference measurements, asymmetry, and tightness of the neck musculature. If repositioning and/or therapy are not effective, the pediatrician may refer the infant to a pediatric neurosurgeon or plastic surgeon for further assessment.
The specialist will conduct a physical examination and may order diagnostic tests (i.e., X-ray, CT scan or MRI) to rule out synostotic (non-positional) plagiocephaly. This condition is characterized by an abnormal head shape caused by premature suture closure, not external forces, and may require surgery to obtain correction. The STARband cannot be used to treat synostotic plagiocephaly, but may be used after surgery for protection or to direct the head into a more symmetrical shape.
Why do some infants develop positional plagiocephaly?
The incidence of positional plagiocephaly has increased since 1992 when the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended that parents place infants on their backs or sides to sleep in order to prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). This highly effective program has dropped the SIDS rate in the United States and across the world by 40%. However, the additional time many infants spend in infant seats, car seats, and other supine (back) positions may place them at risk to develop greater flatness and/or asymmetrically shaped heads.
As many as 85% of the infants with positional plagiocephaly also have torticollis. This condition is caused by tightness on one side of the sterno-cleidomastoid muscle in the neck. When one side of this muscle is shortened, the infant’s head bends forward, tilts toward the shoulder on the affected side, and the face rotates toward the opposite shoulder. This muscle tightness causes the head to rest consistently in the same position, creating areas of flatness on the back of the skull and compensatory growth in other areas of the head. This process of deformation happens quickly in young infants because of the softness of the skull and flexibility of the sutures.
Physical therapy treatment is often prescribed to address torticollis. Home programs for stretching and massage of the affected muscle are very successful in addressing this problem. Therapists may also provide additional information regarding repositioning and handling techniques that include placing the infant on the tummy while supervised during the day. Other factors contributing to the development of positional plagiocephaly include premature births, multiple births, restrictive intrauterine positioning, birth trauma, and cervical spine abnormalities.
How does the STARband work?
The orthotic treatment program focuses on redirecting cranial growth towards greater symmetry. This is accomplished by maintaining contact over the areas of bossing or protrusion and allowing room for growth in the areas of depression or flattening. The STARband uses the period of most active skull growth, between 3 and 18 months of age, to create a pathway for more symmetrical growth to occur. Progressive adjustments over the course of the treatment program accommodate growth and ensure optimum outcomes.
The STARband Cranial Remolding Orthosis derives its name from its purpose—Symmetry Through Active Remolding. This custom orthosis is manufactured from a model of the infant’s head to obtain optimal fit and function. The rigid outer shell maintains the structural integrity of the design and is lined with closed cell foam to allow progressive adjustments and promote hygienic conditions. The side opening on the STARband makes it easy to apply and remove, and allows the STARband to adjust in circumference as the infantÕs head grows and changes.
What happens at the first visit?
The initial visit includes a thorough patient evaluation, gathering of patient history, clinical photographs and discussion about the treatment process. It may be necessary to verify insurance coverage prior to initiating the treatment program, so another visit may be scheduled for the casting procedure. It is important that no more than two weeks pass between the time of the casting and the initial fitting of the orthosis. If you are ready to begin the process immediately, the orthotist or prosthetist will make an exact duplicate of your baby’s head from a plaster impression or 3-D scan.
What happens at follow- up appointments?
Within two weeks from the date of casting, you will return for the STARband fitting and delivery. The orthotist will determine final trim lines, answer any questions, and provide you with specific instructions regarding wearing time, cleaning the STARband, and follow-up appointments. Follow-up is an integral part of STARband treatment. In most cases, your infant will be seen within 7-10 days after the STARband fitting and delivery.
Additional follow-up visits take place at two-week intervals for the first month, and at 2-4 week intervals thereafter. At each appointment the orthotist will assess the fit of the orthosis, monitor changes in head shape, and may make adjustments to the STARband to direct more symmetrical skull growth. Depending on your infantÕs age, unique head shape, and response to the orthosis, your follow up appointments may be more or less frequent than those stated above. You are encouraged to contact your orthotist immediately if you have concerns about the fit, notice reddened areas that do not disappear within a reasonable amount of time, or feel that your infant needs an adjustment before the next scheduled appointment.
How long does STARband treatment take?
On average, treatment programs with the STARband take approximately 8-16 weeks for infants between the ages of four and seven months. Older infants may require a longer treatment program because head growth slows after 12 months. Research indicates that the greatest symmetry can be attained through early intervention, although some correction may be possible in infants over 18 months.
How do I get a STARband for my baby?
STARband Cranial Remolding Orthoses are available by prescription only. Your pediatrician or specialist can write a prescription for the STARband Cranial Remolding Orthosis, which you can then take to a certified orthotist or prosthetist within your community.

Medical grade peels are a popular skincare treatment in California that can address various skin concerns and provide significant improvements in the overall appearance and health of the skin. As a clinic, we understand the importance of educating our clients about the science behind these peels to ensure they make informed decisions about their skincare regimen.
- Understanding the Structure of the Skin:
It is crucial to have a fundamental grasp of the anatomy of the skin to understand how medical-grade peels function. Our skin has three different layers: the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue. Each layer plays a crucial role in maintaining skin health and function.
2. What Causes Skin Issues?
There could be various reasons for skin problems, both internal and external. External factors include prolonged sun exposure, environmental pollution, and harsh skincare products. Skin issues can also be influenced internally by aging, heredity, and hormonal changes.
3. How Medical Grade Peels Work:
Medical grade peels are carefully formulated with specific chemical compositions that work on different layers of the skin. The depth of penetration and strength of the peel determines the intensity of the treatment and the results achieved.
4. The Role of Exfoliation:
One of the key mechanisms of medical-grade peels is exfoliation. By removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells, peels promote cellular turnover and stimulate the production of collagen, the protein responsible for skin elasticity and firmness.
5. Chemical Reactions and Cellular Turnover:
Medical-grade peels trigger chemical reactions within the skin that accelerate the shedding of damaged skin cells. This process activates enzymes, such as proteases, which break down old collagen and encourage the production of new collagen and elastin fibers.
6. Categories of Medical Grade Peels:
Various types of medical-grade peels are available, including superficial, medium, and deep peels. Superficial peels are gentle and target the outermost layer of the skin, while medium and deep peels penetrate deeper layers to address more severe skin concerns.
7. Benefits of Medical Grade Peels:
A medical-grade peel treatment in California offers a range of benefits for the skin. It can lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, enhance the texture and tone of the skin, and eliminate hyperpigmentation brought on by hormone fluctuations or sun exposure.
8. Considerations and Precautions:
When considering medical-grade peels, it is crucial to consult with a qualified professional. They will assess your skin condition, determine the most suitable peel type, and guide proper aftercare and maintenance to maximize the results and minimize any potential risks.
Example: Treatment Journey:
Let’s walk through a hypothetical treatment journey for a medical-grade peel. It starts with an initial consultation and skin assessment, where a professional evaluate your skin type, concerns, and goals. Based on the assessment, they recommend the most appropriate peel type for your needs.
Before the peel, you will prepare your skin by following specific instructions, such as avoiding sun exposure and discontinuing certain skincare products. During the treatment, the peel solution will be carefully applied to your skin by a trained professional, ensuring the appropriate depth and duration for optimal results.
After the peel, you will receive detailed instructions on post-peel care, including the use of gentle cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreen. The recovery period may vary depending on the peel’s depth, but it is essential to follow the provided guidelines for proper healing and long-lasting results.
Medical grade peels offer an effective solution for various skin concerns, utilizing the science of exfoliation, chemical reactions, and cellular turnover. By understanding the mechanisms behind these peels, you can make informed decisions about incorporating them into your skincare routine.
Always seek the advice of a skilled specialist to get the greatest results while protecting your skin’s safety and health. | medical |

If you leave an ingrown toenail too long, you may even have to have surgery to remove the toenail and correct the growth path. Professional advice and treatment should be sought ASAP as the toenail could become infected, but there are several steps you can take to reduce any pain, and also reduce the chance of infection. The below details how you can deal with an ingrown toenail:
1. Soak your foot daily in warm salt water
First and foremost, you should bathe your foot in a solution of warm salt water for 15 minutes each time at least twice a day. This will greatly help reduce the chance of infection, and it can also help reduce swelling and relieve any pain you are experiencing.
2. During all other times, keep your foot dry
Whenever your foot is not being bathed, you should ensure that it is completely dry – dry your foot and toe gently to avoid pain, but ensure that no water or moisture remains. If your toe is damp then this can encourage infection and can make the ingrown toenail worse.
3. Separate the skin from the toenail and insert padding
To alleviate pain, and also to prevent the toenail from digging into your skin further you should separate your skin from the toenail itself. Use a small nail file or other pedicure device and gently pull the skin away. Once you have pulled the skin away, you should place small pieces of clean cotton between the toenail and skin – this will keep the two separated and help prevent infection. Consider dabbing the cotton in an antiseptic cream or cleanser.
4. Cover your toe with a bandage
Once you have separated the toenail from your skin and padded with cotton, you can then cover your whole toe with a soft bandage. Do not wrap the bandage tightly as you need to give it room to breathe but do cover the toe entirely. This can provide extra padding to your toe and also help prevent any knocks or unnecessary pain.
5. Wear comfortable and wide-fitting shoes
Any pressure placed on your toe can be painful, and it can cause the ingrown toenail to dig further into your skin. To reduce the pressure placed on your toes, consider wearing wide-fitting shoes that sit lightly on your feet. Alternatively, sandals or flip-flops may be preferable as your toes are then not covered in any way at all.
Aside from the above, ensure that you check your toenail regularly for signs of infection and try to minimize the amount of walking you do. If the toenail does become infected, or the problem persists, then you should look at visiting a podiatrist who can fix the problem and even perform minor surgery to remove the ingrown portion of the nail. We hope you have found this advice useful – an ingrown toenail is manageable so don’t suffer in silence or leave it until it’s too late! | medical |

From Monday 19 July 2021, designated venues are no longer legally required to ask customers, visitors and staff to “check in” (attendees can scan the NHS QR code poster via the NHS COVID-19 app or provide their contact details).
Although it isn’t a requirement, venues are being strongly encouraged to retain the NHS QR code poster and maintain a “logbook” containing attendees’ contact details.
By asking individuals to check in and promptly sharing the records of those who provide their contact details with NHS Test and Trace, you will help us to identify people who may have the virus. NHS Test and Trace will only ask for your records if there is an outbreak at your venue, and then alert attendees who checked in on the same day.
- will be triggered if there are two or more cases at a venue (unless it is a large venue, such as a football stadium, which will lead to a case-by-case assessment).
- will ask individuals to book a test as soon as possible. A venue alert will not ask individuals to self-isolate.
- will never name the venue linked to the outbreak.
- does not mean your venue needs to close. Public health guidance will be given to you if you are contacted by NHS Test and Trace so that you can continue to operate safely.
- are not the same alert that individuals receive on the NHS COVID-19 app if they have come into close contact with a confirmed case. Close contact alerts will advise the individual to self-isolate, venue alerts will not.
- will be sent as an app notification to those that scanned the NHS QR code with the NHS COVID-19 app, or by text message to people who provided their contact details to check in.

Whoa. Probably going too fast here.. what’s ED? ED stands for Erectile Dysfunction. It’s a medical term for the much less pleasant word “impotence”. It means that a man cannot achieve an erection, or is unable to sustain an erection and therefore be able to engage in sexual intercourse (penetration) or other forms of sexual activity, and will be unlikely to achieve orgasm. It often occurs in older me, 50-70 and until recently was just thought to be part of the ageing process. Until the discovery of Viagra men and their partners had only a few viable treatments for ED. These included a penis vacuum pump, injections directly into the penis and an implant. All highly invasive and not very romantic. But with the availability of Viagra (and similar drugs Cialis and Levitra, for 7 or 8 out of ten men, popping a simple pill means that with sexual stimulation, they will be able to achieve and sustain erections that are hard enough to complete sexual activity to the fulfilment of both involved.
Now to how Viagra works.
There’s a molecule in your body called cyclic GMP, or cGMP. cGMP has a variety of functions, one of which is to cause vasodilation. Vasodilation means the relaxing of the muscles of the blood vessels, which increases the diameter of the vessel, and therefore, increases blood flow into where the vessels are. Viagra is the brand name for the drug Sildenafil. Sildenafil inhibits (or, blocks) the protein that normally degrades cGMP. This makes it simpler to increase blood flow, as less cGMP is degraded.An erection occurs when some of the tissues of the penis are filled with blood. The protein that spoils cGMP is affected by the Sildenafil and, for a period, means that you can get more blood into your penis, for longer. That means an erection to last for the period of sexual activity.
However you need to be sexually aroused, usually by physical stimulation in order to get an erection when you have taken Viagra. It doesn’t give you an instant erection when the drug kicks in, or for any part of the 4 hours or so for which the active ingredient is in your bloodstream. It is not an automatic reaction. It needs your brain and body to become aroused. It is important for women to understand that just because their partner uses Viagra, it doesn’t mean that they don’t “fancy” them anymore. ED is a medical condition that is usually beyond the control of the man, unless or until ED treatment is taken. The very fact that a man wants to take Viagra means that he is keen for both to have sexual fulfilment.
Viagra (and the other ED treatment drugs mentioned, Levitra and Cialis, which work in similar ways) are available online from Pharmacy2U after an online consultation, or if you provide evidence of a doctor’s prescription for Viagra. This is because Viagra may not be suitable for all men, and as a precaution, you will need to discuss your medical history first.
To understand how Cialis works, you’ll need to understand what normally happens. When a man is sexually stimulated, his brain transmits a signal down the spinal cord and into the many nerve endings of his penis. Those nerve endings then release chemical “messengers” or stimulants (called neurotransmitters) that signal to a part of the penis called the corpora cavernosa. This is two spongy rods of tissue that extend the length of the penis. The message from the neurotransmitters is for those spongy rods to relax and allow blood to fill them. As they expand, the corpora cavernosa closes off other veins that would normally take blood away from the penis to continue circulation elsewhere in the body. As the rods and the penis become engorged with blood, it grows in size and stiffens, causing the erection necessary to enable sexual intercourse. When things aren’t right, problems with blood vessels, nerves, or tissues of the penis can interfere with this intended function.
ED is more common than you think- it strikes up to half of all men between the ages of 40 and 70. Doctors used to think that most cases of impotence were psychological in origin, and therefore not curable by physiological means. However we now know that physical causes alone play a primary role in more than half of all cases. Before Viagra and Cialis, the only treatments available for ED (or impotence as it was known then) were an implantable penile prosthesis or long-term psychotherapy. But where the problem is purely physical, as it is in most cases, there’s an easy to administer treatment that works in the great majority of cases: Cialis.
The response to Cialis since it was introduced 10 years ago has been dramatic and overwhelmingly positive. Many men have tried Viagra, Cialis and Levitra and there are testimonials to Cialis say that there are either no side effects or a reduction in the severity of side effects as compared to other ED treatments. Given that Cialis also last longer, up to 36 hours after being taken, than other ED treatments such as Viagra and Levitra, then one can begin to see why it is popular. As you can only take one ED pill over any 24 hour period, then Cialis’ longevity is bound to be popular.
Before you order Cialis it’s best to talk to your GP or a qualified pharmacist so that you know whether it is safe for you to use and can understand what the side effects might be (many men experience none).
It’s important to realise that Cialis required some sexual stimulation in order to work. But when used in accordance with the prescription and manufacturer’s instructions it can transform your bedroom activities into ones of fun and joy rather than frustration.
What some men don’t realize is the problem leading to their Erectile Dysfunction could be caused through a mental disorder. It is common for people who suffer from depression or stress to have problems in their sex life. If your doctor finds that this may be the cause of your Erectile Dysfunction, they may recommend Psychotherapy. If the problem is mental, the only way to get past Erectile Dysfunction is to address the mental disorder. Once the mental disorder is tackled, you will be able to see a change in the side effects and the end of your dysfunctions.
Often if the doctor can’t find any other problems, he may resort to medications for treatment. The market is full of medications that are designed to address Erectile Dysfunction. Though these medications may not completely solve the problem, they can help you live a normal life. Viagra is one of the most popular medications for Erectile Dysfunction, there are also medications designed to help men with other conditions as well.
Machines And Surgery
For mild cases of Erectile Dysfunction, doctors may recommend small machinery to help men solve their problem. There is device that acts as a vacuum to help men increase blood flow to their penis so they can achieve and maintain an erection. If the problem isn’t that simple and you are not responding to the medications, the doctor may recommend surgery. Penile implants are becoming more common, giving men the ability to achieve a full erection. There are different types of implants, some that allow men to achieve an erection naturally and other methods that help a man maintain his sexual abilities.If you have Erectile Dysfunction, there are many treatment options available to you. Once you talk to your doctor and he is able to diagnose the problem, your doctor will create a treatment plan, best suited to your needs.
So what exactly is erectile dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction, commonly referred to as impotence, occurs when a man can no longer get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. If erection trouble is happening now and then it is not necessarily cause for a lot of concern; However if it becomes a fairly regular problem it can cause problems within your relationship, stress, and negatively affect your self-confidence.
If it is happening, what should I be doing?
While it may seem like an awkward thing to talk about, if it is starting to occur on a fairly regular basis, it is important to talk to your doctor, and set up an evaluation. Having impotence as a regular occurrence can be a sign of health conditions, such as heart disease or diabetes, that a quite serious and require treatment. As awkward as it might be to talk about, getting to the bottom of what is going on, and treating the underlying issue might just be enough to reverse your erectile dysfunction.
What kinds of treatments and drugs are out there?
Oral medications are a successful erectile dysfunction treatment for many men, these include the ever popular Viagra, Cialis.
A penis pump, which is a vacuum style device that helps enable an erection, is an empty tube that has a battery-powered pump or hand-powered. You place the tubeon the penis, and the pump is used to draw out the air inside the pump, a vacuum is created and allowsthe blood to flow to your penis. When you experience an erection, you use a penis ring at the base of the penis to keep the blood flow in that area firm. You remove the vacuum after this has been achieved. By using a penis pump an erectioncan be maintained long enough for intercourse. | medical |

Absolutely. Soprano ICE’s SHR method has been proven in multiple clinical studies as the safest method of laser hair removal for all skin types. With SHR, hair follicles are damaged not by a single pulse of high energy which can injure the skin, but by repetitive short energy pulses. These pulses produce heat build-up which gradually raises the temperature of the dermis to the level needed for preventing hair growth, while minimizing the risk of burns.
Can DERMALIFE Soprano ICE Platinum be used in the summer and can it treat tanned skin?
Yes. Soprano ICE’s SHR method affects the melanin of the skin using a unique method, allowing the procedure to be performed anytime of the year as well as on tanned skin. Furthermore, sun exposure is less traumatic to the skin following SHR treatment.
Is Hair Removal with DERMALIFE Soprano ICE Platinum really painless?
Soprano ICE Platinum uses Alma Laser’s SHR method, which is the only clinically proven method of laser hair removal that is virtually painless. The unique heating and energy delivery method effectively damages the hair follicle while preventing injury and pain to the surrounding tissue. At the same time, integrated ICETM tech cools the skin surface, preventing superficial burns and the sensation of pain.
How long are treatment sessions with DERMALIFE Soprano ICE Platinum?
While Soprano ICE Platinum offers the fastest laser hair removal solution available today, the duration of treatment can vary depending on the patient’s skin color, hair type and the area being treated. Treatment time can range from a few seconds for a small area such as above the upper lip, to 8 minutes for the entire back.
How many treatments do patients typically need in order to see results?
Depending on the patient’s skin and hair type, results are typically seen following 6 to 8 treatment sessions. | medical |

Valsartan is the generic name of a very popular and effective blood pressure medication that has been used since 1996. Originally developed and manufactured by Novartis under the trade name Diovan, Valsartan became available for other manufacturers to produce as a generic drug in 2012. A number of other pharmaceutical manufacturers including manufacturers in China and India began manufacturing the bulk drug for use by distributors in the U.S. to manufacture their own version of the medication with their own branding. However, the procedure for making the raw drug by the Chinese and Indian manufacturers was modified by some of these companies resulting in the introduction of a by-product and contaminate called NDMA (N-nitrosodimethylamine) into the final raw or bulk product. NDMA is a potent carcinogen in animals and probably carcinogenic to humans, even in relatively small amounts. The Valsartan personal injury lawsuits involve individuals who have taken generic versions of Valsartan for a certain period of time, and who have been diagnosed with cancer, specifically liver, stomach, intestinal or kidney cancer.
What are the current actions by the FDA?
In July 2018, one of the leading Chinese valsartan manufacturing companies, Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceuticals, discovered that the raw Valsartan it was producing was contaminated with NDMA. Before and after the discovery of this contamination, Zhejiang Huahai was a wholesaler of Valsartan in bulk to its distributors in the U.S. Other manufacturers in China, as well as India, had similar problems and sold bulk contaminated Valsartan to its U.S. distributors.
The FDA has done limited testing and has recalled a number of the generic products of U.S. distributors who have purchased bulk Valsartan from these Chinese and Indian manufacturers. But numerous products have yet to be tested and recalled. It is suspected that many more distributors of generic Valsartan contain Valsartan purchased from the contaminated sources and has resulted in significant exposure of the carcinogen to individuals taking the generic forms of the medication. Consequently, more recalls of the medication are expected in the future.
What is the current staus of claims?
Numerous lawsuits have been filed against a number of distributors of the generic form of the medication alleging that valsartan contaminated with NDMA was sold to individuals who were consequently exposed to significant amounts of the NDMA carcinogen, and developed various cancers as a result. These cases which were originally filed in various federal court jurisdictions throughout the country have been consolidated into a Federal District Court in New Jersey for the discovery phase of the litigation. The judge in this Federal District Court will be responsible for managing much of the discovery part of the litigation for establishing the rules for filing and managing all pending and future claims and lawsuits involving Valsartan.
What do you need to do?
If you or a family member currently take any generic form of Valsartan, it is important that you immediately contact your doctor to discuss your risk of exposure to the carcinogen, NDMA. You should discuss alternative therapies to minimize your risk from exposure to the carcinogen. If you have stopped taking any generic form of the medication since 2012, it is important that you get records from your pharmacy or pharmacists that will show the identity of the particular distributors or manufacturers of the generic medications you received from 2012 up until the date you stopped taking the medication. You may need this information for any future claims.
If you have taken any generic form of Valsartan since 2012 and have been diagnosed with stomach, intestinal, liver or kidney cancer, you should call our office immediately to discuss your legal options for compensation against the manufacturers and distributors of Valsartan. Time is of the essence. Your ability to file claims is limited and depends on numerous factors. Call The Cochran Firm – Dothan today for a free consultation: (334) 673-1555.
References and Resources:
The New York Times discusses the recall and how the contamination is related to the way Valsartan is manufactured. It is advised that patients check the ingredients on the medication or ask their health care providers about the medication they are currently taking. The health care provider will be able to prescribe a different, non-contaminated medication should the current medication be part of the recall.
The Washington Post covers the contaminants and how they were created through the manufacturing of Valsartan. The FDA believes that millions of people have been exposed to contaminated Valsartan products. It is advised that you do not stop taking the medication until you speak with your healthcare provider and start a new, non-contaminated medication. There are other health risks associated with stopping medication without direction from the health care provider. | medical |

By James Cracknell and Luchia Robinson
First-dose vaccinations among over-70s in North London are lagging behind almost every other part of England.
The latest data from NHS England shows that first-dose Covid-19 jabs have now been given to 78.2% of people aged over 70 years living in Haringey, Enfield, Barnet, Camden and Islington, compared to an average of 86% across England. The NHS does not provide individual borough-level data.
The vaccine rate for the over-70s in North London is lower than every other NHS area in England aside from East London. When it comes to those aged over 80, the rate in North London is even lower, with just 76.3% having received their first dose, compared with an England average of 91.3%.
However, when it comes to the delivery of second doses, North London is one of the best-performing in England, with 18.29% of over-80s now having had both jabs. This compares to an average second-jab rate in this age group across England of 11.9%.
The government announced this week that everyone in its top four priority groups (the over 70s, clinically extremely vulnerable, care home staff for older adults, and frontline health and social workers) had been offered a jab, with 15 million people having now received a first dose. In London, 1.5 million people have received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, with the capital just shy of hitting its target.
As a frontline worker, resident Susannah Fairweather, consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist, was part of the priority groups to receive the vaccine, she said:
“The vaccine was very straight forward to receive, and the nurse was very professional. There was a really good atmosphere amongst everyone attending.
“I felt strangely emotional afterwards because I was so happy to be part of the movement to move us out of the crisis we are experiencing.”
Susannah added: “We have vaccines for many other diseases and having one for Covid-19 should feel no different. I think getting the vaccine is not just helpful for you as an individual, but it is a part of keeping the whole community safe.”
There remains concern that a significant number of people are not taking up their vaccination offers, particularly in areas with larger ethnic-minority populations.
To help tackle the issue, Haringey Council is holding a vaccines webinar at 7pm on Tuesday, 23rd February. The webinar held via Facebook Live and Microsoft Teams will feature local experts and doctors who can offer advice, answer questions and provide updates on the vaccination programme in the borough.
📢 We’re hosting a #COVIDVaccines webinar on 23 Feb @ 7pm with public health experts answering all of your vaccine-related queries. Joining info to be shared soon.— Haringey (@haringeycouncil) February 17, 2021

How does a person get eye cancer?
Doctors know that eye melanoma occurs when errors develop in the DNA of healthy eye cells.
The DNA errors tell the cells to grow and multiply out of control, so the mutated cells go on living when they would normally die.
The mutated cells accumulate in the eye and form an eye melanoma..
Can an eye test detect cancer?
Some people may be aware that eye tests can detect cancers of the eye such as melanomas, but possibly don’t know that they can also detect signs of brain tumours. Dr Nigel Best, says: ‘Swelling of the optic nerves can be visible during an eye test,and can indicate that a brain tumour is present. ‘
Does eye cancer spread to the brain?
In addition to damaging vision, eye tumors can spread to the optic nerve, the brain and the rest of the body. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are extremely important. Melanoma tends to spread via blood vessels to distant organs.
Can a tumor cause vision problems?
Hearing and vision loss- A tumor that is located near the optical nerve could cause blurred vision, double vision or loss of peripheral vision. Depending on the size and location of a tumor, abnormal eye movements and other vision changes like seeing floating spots or shapes knows as an “aura” may result.
Does cancer cause blindness?
The identification of this immunologic anomaly illustrates how blindness can occur in some cancer patients, through the serendipitous initiation of ocular hypersensitivity, with vision loss developing as a cancer-induced autoimmune retinopathy.
When you have cancer what actually kills you?
– “Death by cancer HURTS: tumors can gradually cut off your air supply, compress your heart so it can’t beat properly, block your gut so you can’t eat, erode your bones, press on nerves, or destroy bits of your brain so you can’t control your body or think properly.”
How long can you live with eye cancer?
5-year relative survival rates for eye melanomaSEER stage5-year relative survival rateLocalized85%Regional71%Distant13%All SEER stages combined82%Jan 8, 2020
How rare is cancer of the eye?
Ocular melanoma is the most common primary cancer affecting the eye. However, it is a rare disorder and is estimated to be diagnosed in about 2,500 people in the United States each year. The incidence is unknown, but one estimate places it at about 5-6 people per every 1,000,000 people in the general population.
Can chemotherapy affect vision?
Many patients experience eye issues during cancer treatment. … The National Cancer Institute offers chemotherapy side effect information that specifically covers possible eye changes during treatment, including that certain types of chemotherapy may clog the tear ducts, leading to blurry vision.
How is eye cancer treated?
The main treatments for eye cancer are surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. But you may have other treatments that your eye specialist will discuss with you. Your treatment will depend on: the type of eye cancer you have and where it is in the eye.

Wade was overturned, the Republican Party has tested out constantly changing talking points and messages on abortion in an attempt to make its anti-abortion policies sound less extreme. Conservatives are even considering moving away from the term “pro-life,” fearing that voters have newly negative associations with the label.
With post-Roe outrage showing no sign of waning, strategists are pushing a new lexicon on abortion — medically, legally and culturally. Some Republicans have abandoned the term “ban” when speaking about anti-abortion legislation, for example. Now they’re pushing for a 15-week “standard” on abortion — which, to be clear, would be a ban. Americans overwhelmingly oppose strict abortion bans, so Republicans are moving away from the term.
Republicans hope that by changing the way Americans talk about abortion, it might help change the way they feel about abortion — which is, right now, very pro-choice. A record 69 percent of American adults say abortion should generally be legal in the first trimester, and anger over bans has Republicans losing election after election, from ballot measure initiatives in Kansas and Kentucky to the State Supreme Court in Wisconsin.
It makes sense. After all, Americans have now seen a woman vomit before testifying about watching her newborn take pained last gasps for air — the result of being forced to carry a doomed pregnancy to term in Texas. The cruelty of abortion bans is revealed with every new story of a woman being allowed to slip into sepsis or a raped child being denied care.
But rather than change the policies that are causing so much suffering, conservatives seem to believe they can talk their way out of the problem not just with political messaging but also by manipulating medical and legal language.
This summer, for example, the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists published a “Glossary of Medical Terms” instructing doctors on what “life affirming” language to use. Under their guidance, a woman whose fetus has a fatal anomaly would be told not that the condition is terminal but that it’s “life limiting.” Similarly, if someone’s water breaks months before her due date, she would be informed not that the pregnancy is nonviable but that it’s “pre-viable.” The goal is in part to persuade women to carry doomed pregnancies, which can be emotionally and physically catastrophic.
Republicans are even trying to redefine abortion itself, claiming that they are doing so to clarify matters for doctors and patients. In truth, these are deliberate efforts to ensure that fetuses’ rights trump women’s rights, no matter the cost to women. And increasingly, that cost is very high.
If a woman in Idaho has a life-threatening pregnancy, state law dictates that the doctor must end the pregnancy in a way that provides “the best opportunity for the unborn child to survive,” which the State Supreme Court has interpreted to include performing a cesarean or vaginal delivery. Similarly, a bill proposed in Wisconsin this summer stated that a procedure performed during a medical emergency isn’t an abortion if a doctor “makes reasonable medical efforts” to preserve “both the life of the woman and the life of her unborn child”; legislators mentioned using a C-section and early labor, specifically.
In Idaho, the only exception to the trauma of unnecessary labor and delivery or C-section is if the woman’s life would be more at risk that way. In other words, instead of having minutes-long abortions, women will be forced by the state to endure major surgeries or traumatic vaginal deliveries, even if that seriously affects their physical and mental health.
That’s what happened last year to a Louisiana woman whose water broke 16 weeks into her pregnancy, long before a fetus is viable. Because the hospital was concerned about violating the state’s laws, which ban abortion at all stages of pregnancy, the patient was denied a dilation and evacuation, a standard abortion procedure. Instead she was forced to spend hours delivering a nonviable fetus. Her doctor reported in an affidavit, “She was screaming — not from pain but from the emotional trauma she was experiencing.” When it also took hours to deliver the placenta, the woman hemorrhaged and lost close to a liter of blood.
To anti-abortion groups, mandates like this aren’t just acceptable; it’s what they lobbied for. The American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists even recommends that in cases of dangerous pregnancy complications, like a massive placental abruption, women should be made to labor for up to 24 hours — even if they must be treated with blood transfusions in intensive care — in lieu of being given an abortion, in order to deliver “an intact fetal body.” In situations like this, women’s health and lives are endangered the longer they remain pregnant. To groups that seem to value a fetus’s survival above all else, that’s a risk they’re willing to take.
But anti-abortion organizations like the Charlotte Lozier Institute have long claimed that few, if any, pregnancies — no matter how ill fated — require abortions. Instead, the group says, patients with life-threatening pregnancies should be treated with a “separation procedure,” or what the association calls a “medically indicated maternal-fetal separation.” These nonsensical terms, which have made their way into Republican-backed legislation, seek to decouple abortion from its medical context.
After a group of women whose lives were upended or endangered by Texas’ abortion ban sued the state, Gov. Greg Abbott signed narrow health exceptions referring to “the provision of certain medical treatment to a pregnant woman” — in other words, an abortion.
Of course, politicians’ using deceptive talking points isn’t new, but when it comes to an issue like abortion, even just a handful of words can have dire consequences.
Consider the expression “postbirth abortion” — the idea is that abortion involves killing newborns. This is, to be clear, a lie, but that hasn’t stopped candidates like Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis from repeating it.
The phrase “abortion tourism” has also made its way into Republican talking points. This makes it sound as if women traveling to get abortions were taking vacations rather than fleeing their home states for health care, sometimes emptying their bank accounts or staying in shelters in the process.
The goal is to paint Democrats and pro-choice groups as the extremists. The G.O.P. wants to trick Americans into believing they’re somehow softening on abortion, even as they pass ever more dangerous laws. Every new word and phrase was created in service of that goal.

Medical advice is at our fingertips and we are being constantly reminded of the importance of taking care of our bodies.
However, there is one particular complaint that we often neglect to seek advice or treatment for. Annually, back pain affects half of the population and statistics show that a quarter of women and a third of men over 65 suffer with a more severe, prolonged pain. The high statistics suggest that not enough of us are seeking help for our problem!
The back needs to be flexible as well as strong enough to support our body. It is well worth looking after it properly. Simply tackling back pain with pain relief is often only a short term solution. It is usually well worth actually doing something about it.
You could see a professional directly or first of all just try some of the some self help advice on this site. Either way it seems better to look after your back rather than just ignore the warning signs. After all there is no such thing as a replacement spine - it is with you for life.
More and more people are choosing the chiropractic approach because chiropractors tend to focus on the cause of the problem itself rather than just numbing the symptoms.
Feel free to use the self help avice below or contact either myself or my clinic
01 - Keep Moving
Keep Moving - Keep yourself fit and active. This will help to maintain your spinal strength and mobility as well as speed up your recovery from episodes of back pain! Why not try a 10-20 minute walk? Swimming is also a rewarding option, however avoid breast stroke if you can.
02 - Lift Carefully
Lift Carefully - Take care when lifting heavy objects. Bend your knees, keep your back straight and don't twist your body. Don't lift and twist at the same time. Most importantly, hold your tummy in tight and keep the object close to you, safest for both you and whatever you may be lifting.
03 - Sit and Stand Correctly
Sit and Stand Correctly - Good posture helps to keep back pain at bay! When sitting, try to keep your lower back supported. If your chair does not have any inbuilt support, then use a rolled up towel. Keep your feet flat on the floor, with your hips slightly higher than your knees. Try not to curl your legs up underneath you, no matter how tempting! Put equal weight on both legs when standing to help prevent pelvic joint problems.
04 - Invest in a Nice Bed
Invest in a Nice Bed - A hard, firm mattress isn't necessarily always a good thing. Make sure your mattress is firm enough to support your back, but allows your hips and shoulders to sink in slightly. Most importantly, you should feel comfortable whilst in bed and when you wake up in the morning. If you are not, it is worth considering investing in a new mattress. Remember, orthopaedic labels and price not always a guide that the mattress will work for you. Ask your chiropractor for personalised advice.
05 - Sleep Comfortably
Sleep Comfortably - Sleeping on your back is best. If you have to sleep on your side then put a pillow between your knees and try not to twist into the recovery position. Never sleep on your front because it twists your neck and lower back.
06 - Get a Good Start to the Day
Get a Good Start to the Day - When you awake, pull your knees into your chest to stretch the hips. This wakes up the lower back and relieves stiff joints. For some more advice on practical posture exercises, please visit Straighten Up UK
07 - Warm Up
Warm Up - Do some light stretching before and after activity, including things such as gardening and clearing up. This will help to make sure your muscles are warmed up and cooled off properly.
08 - Chill Out
Chill Out - If you do find yourself nursing a muscle or joint ache, use an ice pack for ten minute intervals with a twenty minute break in between. Make sure the ice is wrapped up to prevent getting an ice burn. If you think you have a fracture, avoid doing this and seek medical attention.
09 - De-Stress
De-stress - Stress often leads to muscle tension. The best ways to reduce stress are by getting plenty of exercise, eating healthily and getting enough sleep. Massage can be especially helpful in reducing muscular tension as well as being relaxing! At Lushington Chiropractic we have a range of massage therapists that can help to remove tension. Ask your chiropractor for his/her recommendation.
10 - Listen To Your Body
Listen to your body - Pain is a warning sign. If something is hurting you, stop doing it! Carrying on through the pain is a bad idea. Get someone to help you instead of pushing your body too far.
And finally, visit a chiropractor. We are experts in muscle, joint and nerve problems, not just neck and back pain. At Lushington Chiropractic, we provide a very professional service of care and are happy to listen to your individual case and start treatment tailored specifically to the cause of your back pain. We have tried to make sure these tips are suitable for most people but remember, if any of them are not working for you, then stop doing them and seek advice. | medical |

HerSolution is a natural and powerful formula designed to increase female libido. HerSolution offers two products – supplements and gel – which you can use separately or combine them. The producer recommends combining two HerSolution products to gain the maximum effect and ideal results.
HerSolution promises to increase libido, sexual energy, and drive, ensure better sexual sensations and arousal, increase vaginal lubrication, intensify orgasms, boost your mood and improve overall sexual health.
HerSolution is a doctor-approved blend of natural, safe and effective herbs, extracts and botanicals in proper proportions.
HerSolution contains L-Arginine that dilates the blood vessels, stimulates the blood flow to your vagina and increases sexual sensations; the selected natural herbal essences such as Olive Squalene, Citric Acid, Menthol USP and Triethanolamine that increase libido and boost sex pleasure; and Olive Squalene, Aloe Vera Extract, Shea and Cocoa Butters that ensure easy usage, and silky and soft effect.
HerSolution Supplements contain Ginkgo Biloba, Cayenne, Tribulus, Epimedium Sanitarium, Hops Extract, Niacin, and DHEA.
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), the hormone from the adrenal gland, is the most powerful ingredient as it influences the production of estrogen (female sex hormone). It is known to fight stress and depression and support sexual function by increasing the levels of DHEA in the body. The test results show that DHEA can increase libido, improve sex drive and energy, boost arousal, and experience a higher sexual pleasure.
The company recommends taking HerSolution pill a day within at least 90 days. Some women report that they start feeling the enhancement in 7 days, but you should stick to the producer’s recommendations to gain the highest effect. The natural ingredients need some time to accumulate and start working.
You should use HerSolution Gel directly before sexual intercourse or during foreplay by applying it to your vagina and clitoris. It lubricates your vagina, stimulates the blood flow to your genitalia and intensify sex sensations and orgasm. HerSoution Gel leaves no odor and no taste.

In the process, we discovered something important:
Get children riding early and you significantly improve fitness, activity and confidence levels in their most crucial early development years.
Cycling brings families together. But it also affords children a head start on a healthy lifestyle and a unique view of the world that they might not otherwise get to see.
Perhaps that is reason enough.
Not so wonderful fact...
Approximately 17% (or 12.5 million) of all children in the U.S. are obese. Since 1980, obesity prevalence among children has tripled.
Being overweight during childhood increases the risk of developing high cholesterol, hypertension, respiratory ailments, depression and type 2 diabetes as a youth.
It doesn't have to be this way and we can reverse the upward trend of childhood obesity.
The benefits of cycling transcend childhood and promote a healthy lifestyle.
So, how can we change it?
Get kids regularly outside and involved in an aerobic activity. Whether its running, jumping, bouncing or climbing, almost any activity will be immeasurably beneficial. So, what about cycling?
Cycling encompasses a complete cardiovascular workout. The cycling motion keeps blood flowing to and from the heart and increases healthy circulation throughout the limbs. It is generally safer for the body than exercise that inflicts pounding on the knees, feet and joints. Finally, cycling enables young children to explore their beautiful surroundings and the wonderful world around them.

From the 12 diet, life style and metabolic risk elements analyzed within the research, omega-3 fatty acid deficiency rated once the 6th highest killer of People in america. These deaths are thought preventable since getting sufficient omega 3-fatty acids in your daily diet can reduce the chances of this now common reason for demise, and fish-oil benefits omega-3 intake being a potent source that is omega-3.
Another current research reveals that fatty fish consumption can cut the chance of eye-diabetes problems. The researches monitored the seafood consumption of about 3,600 diabetic men and ladies between the centuries of 55 and 80 for nearly 5 years. The scientists found that people who regularly used 500 milligrams each day of omega-3 acid that is fatty their diet programs ( corresponding to two portions of fatty fish each week) had been 48 % less likely to want to develop diabetic retinopathy than people who consumed less.
The European Journal of Neuroscience published a report in 2013 showing that fish oil reversed all anxiety-like and depression-like behavior modifications induced in rats. This is an interesting research because it stresses the significance of supplementing with fish oil at “critical times of mind development.” This is exactly why I recommend giving fish oil to the children from in early stages to greatly help all of them so they won’t develop anxiety or depression later in life.
That is news that is great both seafood and borage oil in terms of joint disease patients, however it’s vital to stress that the results had been equivalent because using too many supplements is in fact a waste of cash.
A report published in Brain Research reveals exactly how far-reaching fish-oil may be for those who have diabetes. Researches unearthed that fish-oil enables reduce the risk of diabetics from developing cognitive shortage because it protects the hippocampus cells from being destroyed. The research also revealed that fish-oil could help reduce oxidative stress, which plays a main part within the improvement diabetes complications, both microvascular and aerobic.
A clinical analysis in 2014 assessed study findings on omega-3 consumption in relation to the avoidance and remedy for breast cancer, the most predominant disease among women. The analysis unearthed that EPA and DHA, as well as ALA, can differentially restrict breast cyst development. In accordance with this review, there clearly was evidence that is solid support the utilization of omega-3s as “a nutritional intervention into the remedy for breast cancer to improve conventional therapeutics, or potentially bringing down effective doses.” Also, a 2016 study discovered that “very large seafood consumption in early adulthood to midlife might be associated with decreased danger of breast cancer.”
The fish oil advantages feature lowering the possibility of cardiovascular illnesses and stroke while additionally helping reduce apparent symptoms of despair, high blood pressure, interest shortage hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), pain, arthritis and chronic skin problems like eczema. Fish oil intake has additionally been involving aiding the physical human body in weight-loss, fertility, maternity and enhanced energy.

If you’re not capable get sufficient fish oil benefits during your diet, fish-oil supplements could be a option that is good. Fish oil complications may include belching, bad breath, heartburn, nausea, free stools, rash and nosebleeds, but in my experience, taking a high-quality fish-oil product can lessen the likelihood of any negative effects. It is also a idea that is good just take fish-oil with meals to cut back side-effects.
So do i do believe you should stop using your fish oil straight away this is why research? No. But should you take a review of how much fish-oil you take and exactly what brand name you take? Yes, undoubtedly.
A pet research disclosed whenever the anti-oxidant astaxanthin is along with fish oil, the immune-boosting energy is increased. The researchers genuinely believe that the results with this research are certainly applicable to person wellness. They conclude that the scholarly research reinforces the health-promoting aftereffects of habitual seafood usage.
Recent studies have shown that the intake of fish-oil (or, more especially, the omega-3 fatty acids present in fish oil) can enhance fertility in both people. DHA, which is really a byproduct of omega-3 fatty acids, plays a crucial role in the transportation of sperm and health of semen in men. Low blood quantities of DHA have already been connected to reduced virility. Animal studies have found that the DHA in seafood is vital to altering dysfunctional sperm that is round-headed powerful swimmers with cone-shaped heads filled with egg-opening proteins.
Many members of the community that is medical like myself, genuinely believe that suboptimal amounts of omega-3 efas may subscribe to outward indications of ADHD and related developmental dilemmas as well as a great many other mental health problems over one’s lifetime. Almost all of the fish-oil benefits tend to be because it’s certainly one of nature’s richest resources of omega-3 fatty acids. While fish-oil advantages are numerous, there are untrue claims on how to utilize this amazing health supplement, but in this informative article we discuss the confirmed medical research to demonstrate the actual advantages of fish oil.
In order to avoid fish oil supplements containing mercury or other harmful pollutants, buy supplements from the reputable supply that clearly checks for these health-hazardous contaminants with its services and products. These examinations is preferably performed by a third-party, and a certificate of analysis should suggest the known amounts of purity from ecological toxins.
Fish-oil is really a concentrated source of omega-3 fats, which are known as fatty that is ω-3 or n-3 efas. To obtain more medical, omega-3s are polyunsaturated acids that are fatty or PUFAs. Our anatomies are able to make almost all of the fats we are in need of need, but that’s not real for omega-3 efas. We need to get them from omega-3 foods or supplements when it comes to these essential fats.
Another study that is small all volunteers consume equivalent exact control diet and substituted fish oil for visible fats (things such as butter and lotion). The volunteers ingested six grams of fish-oil each for three weeks day. They unearthed that body mass that is fat aided by the consumption of fish-oil. The scientists conclude that nutritional fish oil decreases extra weight and encourages the use of fatty acids when it comes to production of energy in healthy adults.
Your best way to produce good balance of omega-3 and omega-6 is through having your fish-oil from wild-caught fish like salmon. But, we nevertheless believe that it is good for some to supplement having a quality omega 3 fish oil or liver oil that is cold. Plus, chilled water fish are often polluted with mercury and pesticide deposits, rendering it very difficult to properly achieve recommended levels.
When you yourself have a bleeding disorder, bruise quickly and take blood-thinning medications, you should utilize fish oil supplements with extra care since large doses of omega-3 fatty acids can increase hemorrhaging risk. This bleeding threat also applies to people who have no history of hemorrhaging disorders or current medicine consumption. For those who have type 2 diabetes, you need to just use fish-oil supplements using your doctor’s supervision. People who have type 2 diabetes can encounter increases in fasting blood sugar levels while taking fish oil supplements.
Another study unearthed that increasing intake that is omega-3 especially DHA, may improve literacy and behavior in children with ADHD. Fish-oil is known to your workplace via its effects on brain function, helping to make good sense considering that 60 percent associated with the brain comprises fats. The key nutritional value of fish oil is its high acid content that is fatty. As I simply pointed out, fish-oil advantages result from the fact that it's abundant with the omega-3 fatty acids referred to as DHA and EPA.
Medical advantages of fish oil could be amazing for the body’s largest organ, the skin. This source of essential fats gets better the health and beauty of personal skin in a number of ways. Fish oil benefits and nourishes your skin with fats and contributes fat-soluble vitamins that help skin keep a smooth, elastic surface. There is also evidence that fish-oil stops wrinkles and works from the process of getting older.
Another research also showed that omega-3 fish oil supplements worked equally well as NSAIDs in decreasing pain that is arthritic are really a less dangerous substitute for NSAIDs.
An organization out of India conducted a study published in Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology based on the idea that “fish oil high in n-3 fatty that is polyunsaturated is favored to chemosensitize cyst cells to anti-cancer medications.” The analysis discovered that using 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) to treat cancer that is colorectal with fish-oil increased the survival price in carcinogen-treated animals. Researchers additionally discovered that the fish oil ameliorated hematologic despair, along with intestinal, hepatic and toxicity that is renal by the 5-FU.
The fish oil supplement that is best constantly ones produced under strict requirements with thorough screening for health-hazardous contaminants like mercury.
You can find so fish that is many benefits. These are just a number of the top scientifically proven fish oil advantages I wish to turn you into aware of. In accordance with the National Psoriasis Foundation, fish oil can help in avoiding or heart that is slowing, that is specifically great for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis individuals who're in a greater risk of developing cardiovascular disease. In terms of fish that is using supplements for the alleviation of psoriasis symptoms, studies have been blended with some showing improvement but others showing no effect. If you suffer with psoriasis, you might get one of these fish oil product, otherwise We suggest you be sure to have fish full of omega-3s regularly.
There’s more news that is good it comes down to fish-oil and eye health, plus it’s not only for diabetic this time around. Fish oil has been confirmed to reverse eye that is age-related. In March 2014, French researchers evaluated 290 patients with age-related degeneration that is macularAMD), and so they discovered that dietary oil fish and fish consumption were dramatically lower in AMD customers. As a result of the large EPA and DHA levels in fish oil, it had been concluded that this type of health intervention could especially gain those at high-risk for neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
A study that is 18-month published in 2014 that assessed just how borage seed oil — wealthy in GLA — and fish-oil rich fared against each other in managing patients with rheumatoid arthritis. It had been unearthed that all three groups (one fish that is taking, one using borage oil and something taking a mixture of the two) “exhibited considerable reductions” in disease activity, and no therapy outperformed others. For all three, “meaningful medical responses” had been similar after nine months. (11) According to the Cardiovascular Research Institute in Maastricht in Netherlands, “Epidemiological tests also show that replacing fat with carbs may even be even worse [than the Western-type high-fat diet] and that various polyunsaturated efas (FA) have advantageous in place of detrimental effects on CVD ( coronary disease) outcome.” This consists of fish-oil fatty acids with anti-inflammatory properties, which will help avoid and reverse a plethora of cardio conditions.
Omega-3 fatty acids also appear to reduce the possibility of untimely distribution. EPA and DHA intake will help support labor that is healthy distribution effects. This omega-3 duo additionally helps normalize feeling and total well-being into the mommy after pregnancy.
It’s also essential to note that omega-6 fatty acids aren’t detrimental to you. In reality, when your diet contains way too many omega-3 efas, your system that is immune would work very well. It’s all about the balance among these two essential fatty acids.
When taking fish oil, more is not constantly better. Keep in mind it to stay in a balanced ratio with omega-6 fats that you want. For many people, I suggest a 1,000-milligram dosage of fish oil regular being a good amount and the most scientifically studied dosage. I suggest perhaps not using a lot more than that unless directed to underneath the guidance of the medical practitioner.
Research has revealed that having a lesser ratio of omega-6/omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the risk of numerous common diseases that are chronic. Getting enough omega-3, which means that having a correct balance of omega-3 and omega-6, has been shown in hundreds of researches to perhaps provide advantageous assets to numerous inflammatory diseases.
Scientific research reports have found that fish oil can help prevent and eliminate different types of cancer, including colon, prostate and breast. Not just has study proven so it makes traditional cancer tumors medicines more beneficial, but it’s additionally a very good stand-alone therapy in all-natural cancer treatment.
Also, not all the seafood essential oils are manufactured equal. Most seafood essential oils tend to be packaged and that can oxidize easily because omega-3 fats tend to be polyunsaturated, have a heat that is low and can quickly get rancid. For this reason, you intend to buy a fish oil in triglyceride kind that also contains antioxidants to preserve all of them like astaxanthin or important essential oils.
Fish oil has also been shown to increase fertility in females by lowering inflammation, managing bodily hormones and managing their cycles. Also, fish oil is found effective in managing problems like polycystic syndrome that is ovarian endometriosis, that may cause infertility.
Lots of Americans’ health problems can back be traced to presenting an instability of omega-3 and omega-6 fats. Omega-6 fats aren’t fundamentally bad they cause inflammation, which leads to chronic illness for you, but if they’re consumed in large amounts without omega-3s.
Currently, there isn’t a group recommendation that is standard Fish Oil Capsules how many omega-3s we are in need of each day, but recommendations include a fish oil dosage of 500 to 1,000 milligrams daily based that you ask. How easy will it be to have these recommended quantities? To provide you with an idea, there are many more than 500 milligrams of complete omega-3s in one can of tuna fish and another little helping of wild-caught salmon. For quite a while now, the fish-oil and Alzheimer’s condition connection has been examined with constant outcomes. The fatty that is essential essential for mind purpose being found in fish oil can not only slow cognitive decline, but can help prevent mind atrophy in older grownups. Research posted into the FASEB Journal viewed the health ramifications of four- to supplementation that is 17-month omega-3 efas and antioxidants. The findings once again confirm the potential for fish oil to be used as being a gun to fend off the beginning of cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s condition. Research reports have additionally discovered that omega-3 acids that are fatty fish oil are connected with improved survival prices for coronary attack sufferers. A research posted within the journal that is medical found that people who took a higher dose of fish oil every for 6 months following occurrence of a coronary arrest really enhanced their hearts’ total functioning and in addition paid off biomarkers of systemic infection.
Combined, this indicates consuming fish-oil benefits diabetics and that fish oil re sources should be included as part of a diet plan that is diabetic.
Therefore, supplementing your daily diet with pure anti-oxidant rich fish-oil is usually the most effective techniques for getting your omega 3s. The kinds of fish which are most frequently found in fish-oil supplements are salmon, cod liver, mackerel, sardines, halibut, herring and pollock. One of the primary factors fish oil leads to healthier skin is definitely the reality that it could reduce inflammation. Research has shown that fish-oil supplements can also reduce sun-induced swelling and provide sunburn relief. “The sunburn reaction is markedly paid off by dietary fish oil rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.”
Fish oil comes through the cells of greasy seafood. Best re sources are cold-water, fatty fish. You can get it from fish themselves or from a fish oil supplement when it comes to human consumption of fish oil.
In a single research, individuals fish that is taking equal to 1.8 grams of EPA possessed a significant decrease in signs and symptoms of eczema after 12 days. Scientists think that these results might be due to fish ability that is oil’s reduce leukotriene B4, an inflammatory substance that plays a job in eczema.
a review that is scientific in 2013 looked over omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and prostate disease prevention. Scientists concluded that there’s a deal that is great of suggesting that omega-3s have antiproliferative results – which means that they inhibit cancer cellular growth – in cancer tumors mobile out lines, animal models and people. In inclusion, the “direct results on cancer cells” and indirect anti inflammatory results on the immune system fighting the cancer tumors likely subscribe to the ability of omega-3 fatty acids to prevent cyst development.
A 2012 study involved young ones from 6 to 12 several years of age with ADHD who have been being treated with methylphenidate and standard behavior therapy for longer than 6 months. The parents of these children reported no improvement in behavior and scholastic discovering making use of these standard remedies. The researchers randomly provided some of the young young ones an omega-3 and omega-6 health supplement or a placebo. They found “statistically considerable enhancement” when it comes to omega group within the following categories: restlessness, aggression, finishing work and performance that is academic.
Fish oil also appears become great for another kind of cancer tumors experienced by females: endometrial disease. a study that is scientific published when you look at the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition locates that “long chain omega 3 consumption associated with decreased endometrial cancer risk just in normal-weight ladies.”
The biggest cause of omega-3 deficiency may be the overconsumption of meals full of omega-6 fatty acids. Omega-6 comes from things such as fried foods, fast foods and boxed foods containing vegetables natural oils like soybean oil, canola oil, sunflower oil, cottonseed oil and corn oil. It can decrease your body’s ability to metabolize healthy omega-3 fatty acids when you consume too much omega-6.
Omega-3 efas are essential to your health, but our anatomical bodies cannot make all of them from diet so we must get them. If diet isn't adequate to fulfill our needs, then the high-quality fish oil product is the next smartest choice.
Salmon is just a fish that obviously contains both fish astaxanthin and oil. We also recommending buying a fish oil health supplement which contains astaxanthin.
So, you can actually weaken your immune system, which would encourage rather than ward off cancer if you consume too many omega-3 fats (EPA/DHA. Thus I simply take this research to be always a very good exemplory case of the reason why more just isn't more regarding supplements, and you should be mindful to not overdo it with fish oil or other health supplement.
We’ve currently seen that fish oil can help with depression-like symptoms in rats, exactly what about people? A research published in the journal Nutritional Neuroscience evaluated the effects of fish-oil supplementation on prefrontal metabolite concentrations in teenagers with significant disorder that is depressive. Scientists unearthed that there was clearly a 40 per cent decline in significant depression condition signs as well as marked improvements in amino acid and diet content when you look at the brain, especially, the proper dorsolateral cortex that is prefrontal. Just what is a “mega dose”? The American Heart Association considers taking on to three grams of fish oil a day “safe.” It suggests that “patients using above 3 grams of omega-3 fatty acids from capsules needs to do so just within a physician’s treatment.” Most doctors would say that taking 2+ grams (or 2,000+ milligrams) daily is a dose that is mega.
Exactly why fish-oil could increase a man’s chance of prostate cancer tumors is IMBALANCE. Like I said earlier, omega-6 fatty acids aren’t detrimental to you. In fact, in case your diet includes too many omega-3 efas, your defense mechanisms wouldn’t work well because omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids tend to be meant to work with a system of inspections and balances. Omega-3 fatty acids suppress swelling, and omega-6 essential fatty acids advertise inflammation, that actually supports your body’s system that is natural of like activating your white blood cells.
Australian researchers published link between a scholarly study examining the effects of fish oil on fat reduction in conjunction with exercise and diet within the May 2007 problem of American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The outcomes show that a mixture of fish-oil supplements and frequent exercise can lessen weight while also improving heart and metabolic health. The fish supplementation group had lowered triglycerides, enhanced HDL cholesterol and improved blood flow. Overall, adding fish-oil up to a existing exercise regime ( as well as a general healthy lifestyle) looks like it could decrease excess fat along with heart problems danger.
Prior to taking fish-oil, you need to talk to your medical professional if you currently take any medication or have any continuous health issues. Its also wise to confer with your medical practitioner before you take fish oil if you have an understood seafood or shellfish sensitivity.
My estimation is the fact that close to 90 % of fish essential oils currently available may include mercury and pesticide residues plus oils that are hydrogenated. Needless to say, that is my opinion predicated on my own analysis from seeing manufacturing that is different, interviewing businesses, and studying the study as well as the detailed ingredients of typical fish natural oils. I would avoid ALL seafood essential oils which do not have antioxidants like astaxanthin, that really help support the oil from going rancid.
If you’ve already been wondering, “So what does seafood oil do?” ideally you currently have a significantly better idea of the very huge selection of possible fish oil advantages!
An increased intake of polyunsaturated fats like the ones that are in seafood and seafood oils have also linked to decreased levels of cortical cataracts.
Fish-oil can also be excessively good for expecting mothers and kids. A woman’s omega-3 needs are even higher than usual throughout pregnancy and also while breastfeeding. In accordance with the American Pregnancy Association, many U.S. women are lacking in EPA and particularly DHA entering maternity to get much more depleted during maternity, whilst the placenta provides the fetus with DHA from the mother’s tissue. Omega-3 DHA is a crucial source of the fetal mind, eyes and system that is nervous. After the infant is born, omega-3s remain crucial to healthy brain development and function that is immune.
In accordance with researcher Theodore Brasky through the Ohio State University Medical Center, “These fish-oil supplements by which some males getting mega, huge doses… inside our opinion that is probably a bit that is little.”
Back 2013, a scholarly study came away that produced large amount of people concerned about fish-oil supplements and cancer tumors. The study, posted into the Journal for the National Cancer Institute, revealed that men just who consume the amount that is largest of fish oil had a 71 per cent higher risk of high-grade prostate disease and a 43 % escalation in all types of prostate cancer tumors. The study ended up being conducted on 2,227 males, of which 38 % of this guys already had prostate disease. To improve the healthiness of your heart, brain, epidermis, locks, human anatomy and much, a great deal more, consider adding fish-oil to your everyday product regime or eat wild-caught seafood daily. Each week to fulfill your omega-3 needs and provide your body with fish oil benefits if you’re adverse to fish oil pills, make sure to get at least two servings of fatty fish. Here is a suggestion also motivated by the American Heart Association.
Today, the typical American includes a 20:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fats, each time a ratio that is healthy more essentially around 2:1. Put in other numerical terms, the normal US diet has a tendency to contain 14 to 25 times more omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3 essential fatty acids. This shows so just how lacking the majority of us are and just why supplementing with fish oil can be so advantageous.
Fish-oil contains two extremely essential omega-3 PUFAs. I’m talking about docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). DHA and EPA are often known as the marine omega-3s since they come from fish mainly. A few of the most useful fish to eat to get fish-oil from in your daily diet include wild-caught salmon, herring, white fish, sardines and anchovies.
Another study conducted by scientists at Rhode Island Hospital examined the partnership between fish-oil supplementation and signs of intellectual drop. The subjects of this research were older grownups: 229 cognitively normal individuals, 397 patients with mild cognitive disability and 193 clients with Alzheimer’s disease. They certainly were considered with neuropsychological examinations and mind magnetic resonance imaging every six months while taking in fish oil supplements. The study unearthed that the adults taking fish oil (who had maybe not yet developed Alzheimer’s and didn't have genetic threat element for developing Alzheimer’s called APOE ε4) experienced significantly less cognitive decrease and brain shrinking than adults maybe not taking fish oil.
It’s also important to understand that even though particular other foodstuffs like flaxseeds and grass-fed beef contain omega 3 fats, those omegas are ALA rather than EPA/DHA like what’s found in fish oil. Based on the research that is medical you will find far more health benefits in fish-oil (EPA/DHA) than flax oil (ALA) for many people.
The deficiency of EPA and DHA in diet plays a part in epidermis circumstances, such as for example dandruff, thinning hair, eczema and psoriasis, in addition to age places and sunshine places. With no efa's, way too much dampness makes your skin. The fact is your internal health can show up on the skin, and eating fish oil internally as a health supplement might be as effective as or better than using traditional moisturizers. | medical |

It is always hard to pull yourself away from a really cute puppy let alone a group of tiny puppies and kittens; all our hearts immediately melt at the sight of these cute little creatures. Did you know studies have showed that pets eliminate feelings of stress and may actually be a fast healer for those who are ill.
My Pets Woofie Monkey & Benji have proven to be a holistic way to reduce stress in my life and have also helped with, coping mechanisms for my various medical problems.
According to an article the Canadian Center of K9 Research and Development, 62 percent of Canadian households own a pet and in a Toronto survey, the number one benefit of having a pet is the love, affection, and company they provide. Other numerous studies have shown:
- Pets help recovery from heart attacks. 421 adults found that dog owners had a better one-year survival after a heart attack, compared to those who did not own dogs.
- Pets help us calm down. A study of 240 married couples showed that pet owners had lower heart rates and blood pressure as compared to those without pets.
- Pets help reduce stress better than our human companions. Pet owners had less stress and quicker recovery from stress when they were with their pets as compared to when they were with their spouse or friend.
- Pet owners have less obesity. A study looking at 2,000 adults found that pet owners who walked their dogs had less rates of obesity and were more physically active than those without pets.
- Pet owners have better mobility in their golden years. Another study looking at 2,500 adults aged 71-82 showed that adults who regularly walked their dogs had more mobility inside the house than non-pet owners.
- Pets increase opportunities for socialization. Many studies have shown that walking a dog leads to more conversations and socialization.

These days many are incorporating the use of friendly pets in places known for high stress. At local Universities public Schools and even summer camps, people were able to “check out” a therapy dogs during their study and prolonged periods of time away from familiar settings and family.
The therapy visits are meant to help reduce stress from heavy workload and other anxieties including homesickness. Many other institutions are now seeking to do the same thing on their campuses and at their locations.
So if you’re looking for a furry companion, know that you’ll be reaping the benefits of good health as well as a new friend. | medical |

Running injuries can be a big setback but with proper precautions you can stay active during a running injury.
I can't give specific recommendations for the countless types of injuries that may occur but I'll give you some general recommendations on how to modify your running training schedule.
1. Modify Your Activities
Check with your doctor to determine what activities are safe to do with your condition and if you can continue to run. In many cases complete rest is not the best option. But you do want to be smart and not aggravate your injury further. The goal is to promote healing and to continue to work on areas of the body that are still healthy.
You may have to cut back on your running volume or any intense running such as threshold pace runs or speed work. Or you may have to stop running altogether. In that case you may have to increase other aerobic cross training such as biking or swimming to keep your aerobic conditioning from dropping.
Some sort of strength training can almost always be done when you have a running injury. Even if you only exercise one leg while the other is injured you can still develop some strength in the injured limb. The cross-over effect that can occur is pretty amazing. Obviously you need to take care that you don't do any risky lifts or put yourself into unsafe positions. But if at all possible include some sort of strength training and core stabilization work into your recovery routine.
Likewise, flexibility work can usually also be maintained to keep joints and muscles supple. Injuries can often increase tightness in specific areas. Find out what the most appropriate stretches are for your condition and do them frequently. I'd rather see an injured runner do 10 minutes of stretching seven days a week than a 60 minute stretching routine once per week.
The trickiest part will be the aerobic cross training. Do what you can but watch that you don't overdo this while you're injured since many forms of aerobic training involves repetitive motion and strain on the body. If you haven't been doing other forms of aerobic cross training build up the volume gradually. The last thing you need is to develop another overuse injury by doing too much biking or swimming if you're not used to it.
2. Get Quality Sleep
Make sure you're getting enough sleep. This is crucial for recovery as many repair processes in the body take place while we're sleeping. Aim to get a solid 7 - 8 hours of sleep every night and don't allow yourself to get run down. Remember the goal during injury recovery is to have enough energy available to repair the damage.
Inadequate sleep decreases levels of anabolic hormones such as growth hormone and testosterone among others. These types of hormones along with the body's repair mechanisms work together to heal your running injury.
Having enough sleep will also do a lot to elevate your mood. There's nothing like sleep deprivation to keep your spirits down. Being injured is bad enough. Being injured and sleep deprived takes it to another level.
If possible, try to get a nap during the day as well. I don't mean a long, deep sleep just a short 10 - 20 minute cat nap. If you can find the time and train yourself to do this you'll be amazed at how refreshed you can feel afterwards.
3. Manage Your Stress
Being injured can be mentally stressful and working out can help ease that pressure. But remember that working out is itself a stress on the body. The trick is to do enough to encourage growth but not too much.
So any strength training, flexibility work and any aerobic cross training you can do into your schedule will help keep your spirits up. Feeling down when injured is a normal reaction especially if you're a long time runner. By doing safe exercise you give yourself a sense of control so that you don't feel helpless to circumstance.
If your overall stress from all sources (including work, personal issues and training) becomes too great you will hamper the recovery process. Try not to take on too many new responsibilities in work or personal life when you're recovering. You need a certain amount of stress to grow and thrive. But the injury itself is another stressor to keep in mind when looking at how much stress you have going on. As I mentioned recovery is an energy balance equation. You need to manage your energy so not only can you meet all your regular requirements but you have enough to keep the repair and recovery process going.
4. Eat Well
Supply your body with the nutrients it needs to heal by eating well. This will give your tissue the raw materials for repair and also help you maintain a good weight. Filling up with junkfood while injured will prolong your recovery time and make you feel worse.
Include a variety of vegetables and fruits along with lean sources of protein and healthy fats. Cut back on the simple sugars during recovery. Stay well hydrated. Some supplements that may help are protein powders and Omega 3 essential fatty acids (such as fish oil) or other healthy fat supplements (such as Udo's Oil). But don't expect immediate pain relief or other such dramatic results.
An Example of What Can Be Done While Injured
I sponsor one of Canada's top ultra-runners, Gary Robbins. In late 2010, Gary broke his right foot while trail running requiring his foot to be placed in a cast for 3 months. Obviously he couldn't run during this period and had to modify his training schedule.
His running specific fitness decreased however that didn't mean he couldn't maintain his fitness in other areas. Watch the following video which demonstrates a typical strength training workout during his recovery process.
Many of the exercises he was doing were quite advanced. I structured the program to build strength and mobility in his uninjured leg. There would actually be some cross-over benefits to his injured side by doing this. The program also required a lot of core stabilization so he maintained good function in his core.
If you do get injured take all the necessary steps you need in order to maintain your fitness while still encouraging healing to take place. As I stated complete rest is rarely the best solution. Modify your training and you'll be back to your running in short order. | medical |

You probably spend a great deal of time and energy eating right, exercising, getting enough sleep etc. However, thanks to modern medicine, there are many skin and cosmetic clinic treatments that can help you to achieve that perfect look. We will now take a look at some of the most popular treatments so you can decide whether you’d like to get any of the procedures done.
One of the most popular procedures is the facelift. Unfortunately, as we age, our faces start to sag and droop, we develop sunken cheeks etc. However, with a face lift, these symptoms of old age can be reduced and you can see an age reduction by as many as 10 – 20 years. A facelift will help to tighten up any lose skin you may have on your face, get rid of the double chin, smooth out wrinkles and even help to remove stubborn face fat.
The next procedure we will look at is eyelid blepharoplasty. Your eyes are one of the first places on your face that will show signs of age. If you experience problems such as puffy eyelids, loose skin around or under your eyes, dark circles etc, then you should consider getting an eyelid blepharoplasty or eyelift. This procedure only takes 1 – 3 hours with a 2 week recovery. Once it is complete, your eyes will look and feel much younger and the results can last up to 8 years of even longer.
Thirdly, we will look at hair restoration and hair transplants. Hair loss is an issue that plagues both men and women, especially as they age. However, with a hair transplant or hair restoration procedure, you can regain your beautiful locks from your youth. This can be done using the SmartGraft restoration where hair is taken from behind the scalp and then it is placed/transplanted on top of the head or where it is needed. This is a very effective and successful procedure because it uses your own hair and scarring is so minimal, it is virtually invisible.
Lastly, you can also undergo botox treatments which helps to remove or reduce the appearance of wrinkles, under eye hollows, wrinkles on the forehead, lip lines, crows feet, saggy eyebrows and more. There are a couple of different injectables you can choose from which include neurotoxins, hyaluronic acid fillers, poly l lactic acid fillers and calcium based fillers.
To conclude, we have just looked at some of the most popular skin and cosmetic clinic treatments that can help you to achieve that ever youthful look. These treatments can truly help you to look and feel your best, which is invaluable. Check out what cosmetic skin treatments are available at Visage Cosmetic Clinic Winnipeg. | medical |

So, what is there to know before going on the pill?
Effects of going on the pill
Before going on the pill, our team mentions it is very important to consult with your doctor as each woman will be affected differently depending on their body. Factors a doctor will consider before prescribing the pill include other antibiotics you may currently be taking.
In simplest terms, the birth control pill works by telling the brain it is getting enough hormones (specifically, estrogen and progesterone). The brain then will not signal the ovary to produce hormones, therefore acting as a prevention to pregnancy.
If you are considering taking the pill or you have recently started taking it, there are some common side affects you may experience. These include:
- Sore or swollen breasts – Any swelling you may experience will disappear within a few months.
- Lighter periods – A very common side effect of the pill is lighter periods. Along with this, cramps are likely to decrease.
Effects of going off the pill
If you have regularly been taking the pill and choose to stop, make sure you consult with a doctor so you are aware of potential side affects you may experience. Common examples include:
- Breakouts – It is quite common to see a decrease in breakouts when starting the pill, therefore this effect will disappear quite quickly when you decide to stop taking it.
- Mood changes – Depending on your body, the pill might be a mood stabiliser and you may feel grumpier when you stop taking the pill.
- Heavier periods – As mentioned, the pill can lighten your flow and if so, it is likely when you stop taking it, you will have a heavier period.
- Risk of pregnancy – The obvious side effect of going off the pill is that your brain will not be told it is getting enough hormones and will then tell the ovary to produce more. This can increase your chances of falling pregnant. | medical |

A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or by a hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This sudden movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist in the skull, creating chemical changes in the brain and sometimes stretching and damaging brain cells. It results in a variety of specific and non-specific signs and/or symptoms (like those listed below) and most often does not involve loss of consciousness. General signs of concussion can include:
- Blurred vision
- Slurred speech
- Appears dazed, confused
- Ringing in ears
- Delayed response to questions
- Loss of consciousness
Children and teens who show or report one or more of the signs and symptoms listed below, or simply say they just 'don't feel right' after a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body, may have a concussion or more serious brain injury.
CONCUSSION SIGNS OBSERVED:
- Can't recall events prior to or after a hit or fall
- Appears dazed and stunned
- Forgets an instruction, is confused about an assignment or position
- Is unsure of the game, score, or opponent
- Moves clumsily
- Answers questions slowly
- Loses consciousness (even briefly)
- Shows mood, behavior, or personality changes
CONCUSSION SYMPTOMS REPORTED:
- Headache or feeling of pressure in head
- Nausea or vomiting
- Balance problems, dizziness, double or blurry vision
- Feeling sluggish, hazy, foggy, or groggy
- Confusion, concentration, or memory problems
- Just "not feeling right" or "feeling down"
Signs and symptoms generally show up soon after the injury. However, you may not know how serious the injury is at first and some symptoms may not show up for hours or days. For example, in the first few minutes your child or teen might be a little confused or a bit dazed, but an hour later your child might not be able to remember how he or she got hurt.
*You should continue to check for signs of concussion right after the injury and a few days after the injury. If your child or teen's concussion signs or symptoms get worse, you should take him or her to the emergency department right away.
DANGER SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
In rare cases, a dangerous collection of blood (hematoma) may form on the brain after a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body that may squeeze the brain against the skull. Call 9-1-1 right away, or take your child or teen to the emergency department if he or she has one or more of the following danger signs after a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body:
- One pupil larger than the other.
- Drowsiness or inability to wake up.
- A headache that gets worse and does not go away.
- Slurred speech, weakness, numbness, or decreased coordination.
- Repeated vomiting or nausea, convulsions or seizures (shaking or twitching).
- Unusual behavior, increased confusion, restlessness, or agitation.
- Loss of consciousness (passed out/knocked out). Even a brief loss of consciousness should be taken seriously
RECOVERY FROM CONCUSSION
Most children with concussion feel better within a couple of weeks. However, for some, symptoms will last for a month or longer. Concussion symptoms may appear during the normal healing process or as your child gets back to their regular activities. If there are any symptoms that concern you or are getting worse, be sure to seek medical care as soon as possible.
What Steps Should My Child Take to Feel Better?
Making short-term changes to your child's daily activities can help him or her get back to a regular routine more quickly. As your child begins to feel better, you can slowly remove these changes. Use your child's symptoms to guide their return to normal activities. If your child's symptoms do not worsen during an activity, then this activity is OK for them If the symptoms worsen, your child should cut back on how much he or she can do that activity without experiencing symptoms. It is important to remember that each concussion and child is unique, so your child's recovery should be customized based on his or her symptoms.
- Your child should take it easy the first few days after the injury when symptoms are more severe.
- Early on, limit physical and thinking/remembering activities to avoid symptoms getting worse.
- Avoid activities that put your child at risk for another injury to the head and brain.
- Get a good night's sleep and take naps during the day as needed.
As your child starts to feel better, gradually return to regular (non-strenuous) activities.
- Find relaxing activities at home. Avoid activities that put your child at risk for another injury to the head and brain.
- Return to school gradually. If symptoms do not worsen during an activity, then this activity is OK for your child. If symptoms worsen, cut back on that activity until it is tolerated.
- Get maximum nighttime sleep. (Avoid screen time and loud music before bed, sleep in a dark room, and keep to a fixed bedtime and wake up schedule.
When the symptoms are mild or nearly gone, your child can return to regular activities.
- Help your child to take breaks only if symptoms worsen with increased activity.
- Return to a regular school schedule.
Back To Regular Activity
Your child is completely symptom free and is able to resume all regular activities. Recovery from a concussion is complete when your child is able to engage in all regular activities without experiencing any symptoms. | medical |

We sure do. So we got some exclusive advice from professional dietitian, nutritionist and Bococaland pal, Ann Margaret Kane. Here she talks about how patterns can differ in kids from adults, why it’s become so prevalent and what you can do to make sure you don’t miss anything in your own child.
We hope this helps. Feel free to email me at [email protected] with any additional questions or information you may want to add.
You may have noticed that food allergy patterns in adults differ somewhat from those in kids. In fact, the most common foods to trigger allergies in adults are shrimp, lobster, crab and other shellfish; peanuts; walnuts and other tree nuts (pecans, etc); fish; and eggs. In children, eggs, milk, peanuts, soy and wheat are the major culprits. Peanuts in both populations are one of the main foods responsible for severe allergies–or anaphylaxis. Thankfully, kids tend to outgrow their allergies to milk, egg, soy and wheat, though aversions to peanuts, tree nuts, fish and shrimp usually tend to linger.
Why It Happens
“The prevalence of food allergies is increasing and probably will continue to grow along with all allergic diseases,” says Robert A. Wood, M.D., director of the pediatric allergy clinic at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions in Baltimore. Wood says the last three decades of research show the number of people with allergies skyrocketing in developed and developing countries, but, ironically, not in underdeveloped areas. At least three million children in the United States now have food allergies. “In these super-clean environments, the immune system essentially lacks a normal workload. However, it does what it is built to do, and finds something to attack, often directing its attention toward such harmless things as pollen grains, even healthy food,” he says. Normally your immune system protects you from germs and bacteria by building antibodies to fight off infection and disease. Food Allergies occur when your immune system mistakenly treats something in a certain food as if it’s dangerous. So, the food itself isn’t harmful but the way the body reacts to it is.
As a registered dietitian who consults for the western region NJ school systems, I have seen an increase in both the amount and types of food allergies. Aversions to fruits and vegetables such as apples, mangos, strawberries, and tomatoes are increasing–coupled with intolerance to gluten, a storage found in wheat, rye, and barley products.
Finding and Treating Allergies
Now that you’re aware of why allergies happen, how can you tell if your child has any? Reactions could be mild reaction or more severe. An allergic reaction could happen right away or a few hours after the child ingests the food that he is allergic to–which isn’t very reassuring. Some of the first signs could be just a runny nose, an itchy skin rash like hives, or a tingling in the tongue or lips. Other signs effect both the respiratory and gastro intestinal system to include tightness in the throat, hoarse voice, wheezing, cough and/or nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and diarrhea. In the most serious cases, a food allergy can cause anaphylaxis (mentioned above)–which is a sudden, severe reaction in which several problems occur at once and can involve many bodily dysfunctions. Obviously, if this is the case for your child, you’ll need a plan for handling emergencies.
Once you’ve realized your child has allergies, the next step is to figure out what they’re allergic to. I strongly suggest keeping a diary for a few weeks and recording the foods your child eats, especially new foods. Also include when they develop symptoms. You’ll want to allow time for recording, as it could take months and even years for your child’s immune system to build up a reaction against something that he or she is allergic to. Unfortunately, there is no special medication for food allergies. The best treatment is to avoid the food itself and any foods or drinks that contain the food. In fact its best early on to eliminate products like cow’s milk and other dairy products until your child is one; eggs until two and peanut butter and shellfish until three.
Just because your child has food allergies doesn’t mean that they can’t live a normal life–including dining out and enjoying special occasions. To illustrate how multiple food allergies can affect a family, I’ve sited my own brother William Kane, his wife Lori and their son Owen–who has multiple allergies to food.
At one, after solely breastfeeding , Owen was given a bottle with a combination of regular whole and breast milk. Lori soon noted allergic reactions, but tried again the next day with cheese. Unfortunately, she got the same puffy and swollen cheeks and eyes, as well as itchy skin. Since Lori has allergies, she figured that was the culprit. After going to the doctor, Owen was diagnosed as allergic to dairy and nuts. Happy to have found out early and quickly, the Kane’s take their son to the doctor for yearly skin, blood and allergy tests. This summer, an annual visit showed additional allergies to soy, eggs, and wheat.
But how has this changed their lives? Obviously, it’s most difficult when not in their own home. The Kane’s always pack a bag of “safe” foods for restaurants and now at five years old, Owen has learned to ask if something has dairy before he eats it. But the most difficult environment is birthday parties, where Owen watches other kids enjoying pizza and cake. Thankfully, dairy-free cakes and cupcakes are available and they bring these with them, helping to make the event special. | medical |

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT as it is known is a highly effective and efficient psychotherapy now available locally in Harrogate. CBT is a way for you to learn to manage your stress and emotional problems more effectively. In CBT we to look at the connections between how we think, how we feel and what we do (behaviour).
It particularly concentrates on thoughts that are non useful. These often undermine our self-esteem and make us feel depressed or anxious. Looking at these unhelpful thoughts can help us work out different ways of thinking and behaving that in turn will help us manage more usefully. CBT looks at the "here and now" issues rather than focusing on things from the past. It helps people to learn new methods of managing and problem-solving, which they can use for the rest of their lives, so in effect you become your own therapist.
What makes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy stand out from other forms of therapy or types of counselling is the emphasis on evidence based practice; this means that you receive up-to-date professional therapy based on the very latest research. CBT is recommended by the Department of Health as the treatment of choice for a range of mental health problems including:
- Anger / Rage
- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
- Shame / Guilt
- Post Natal Depression
- Sexual Problems
- Relationship Difficulties
- Low Self Esteem / Confidence issues
- Social phobia / fear of public speaking / Shyness
- Stress / work place stress
- Performance Anxiety
- Chronic fatigue
- Sleep disorders
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
- Eating Disorder
- Health Anxiety
Over the years the evidence for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy has grown and what is has made it clear is what problems it can help with. The practice of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is an art and science. It is constantly integrating the art of therapy with the science of best practice. CBT has two main driving assumptions:
Firstly it is the assumption about thinking (cognitions).
It is not what happens to you but what you make of that experience that matters.
The secondary assumptions are about how we behave or act in a situation.
What you do or how you act effects what you think and how you feel.
How is your problem maintained?
Although it is not a dominant part of therapy it's sometimes useful to look at how or why the problem developed. In fact it is usually very important to understand how problems have developed to help come up with solutions - but sometimes insight is not enough. For example, if you broke your arm and went to hospital you might expect the doctor to fix your arm and stop the pain rather than ask you questions about how you broke it. CBT is similar, the focus is on the solution of the problem, but a bit later into the therapy it might be important to find out how you broke your arm to prevent you from doing it again.
In Cognitive Behavioural Therapy we try to understand how the problems are maintained. This could be because of:
- Unhelpful Behaviours (e.g. avoidance or substance use)
- Thinking distortions (like personalising, catastrophising or always looking at the worst part of an experience).
- Negative emotional states (like hopelessness, shame or guilt).
- Physical symptoms (such as lack of energy or palpitations).
- Life events (such as consequences from assaults or redundancy).

There are in fact 2 different kinds: autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD), a rare version that creates in unborn children and infants, as well as autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), which is much more usual and also typically obtains identified when a person remains in their 30s or 40s.
In the early stages of having autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, you might not also experience any type of symptoms. However as the cysts obtain bigger, you’re more likely to start discovering signs that something’s not quite ideal. Keep an eye out for symptoms that could signal you have polycystic kidney illness and see your doctor asap, as therapy can protect against several of the worst issues.
1. Discomfort in the abdomen
Discomfort is one of the most common complaints amongst individuals with polycystic kidney disease. You may feel it in your back or abdominal area, or you may feel it in your sides. You may actually feel discomfort in your kidneys, too. The discomfort can be the result of enlarged cysts, bleeding cysts, or hemorrhaging right into a cyst. If you get on dialysis, the pain could be the outcome of a condition called diverticulitis, a type of inflammation in the intestinal tracts that impacts many people on dialysis.
2. Blood in the urine
It can be a little startling to consider the commode and also see red- or pink-tinted pee. However blood in your pee, or hematuria, is a quite common signs and symptom of polycystic kidney disease; it can occur in as several as fifty percent of adults with autosomal leading PKD. It can also be the very first indication of the disease for most of them. When your kidneys contain cysts, they can be added vulnerable to injury or stress. Those cysts can burst and create blood loss.
Hypertension is really a complication of PKD, however it can be an indication that something’s wrong prior to a diagnosis, as well. High blood pressure, or high blood pressure, often tends to develop earlier in individuals with PKD than it performs in the general population. And also it impacts as several as 60 to 70% of individuals with PKD, also. The severity often tends to be correlated with the size and also development of the cysts in the kidneys. Given that high blood pressure is linked to cardiovascular disease, you’ll intend to seek out treatment.
Frustrations are typically an outcome of hypertension that some people establish when they have PKD. They could additionally be a sign of a sort of aneurysm in the mind that can impact some people with PKD. Aneurysms are thought about even more of a complication of PKD than a sign, yet the frustration is the signs and symptom– the giveaway that something is wrong.
5. Inflamed or enlarged abdominal area
Have you found yourself unbuckling your belt or leaving your pants unbuttoned, despite the fact that you have not been eating any more than common? It could be an indication of PKD. As increasingly more cysts develop in your kidneys, your kidneys obtain bigger. There’s just so much room in your abdomen to fit these swelling kidneys, so your abdominal area might start to swell exterior, also.
6. Kidney stones
If you create pain in your belly or reduced back, or notice discomfort while urinating, your body may be letting you recognize that you have a kidney rock. PKD places you at raised danger for creating kidney rocks. The cysts in your kidneys can occasionally obstruct the normal drain of urine, which keeps urine in one location for a longer time period. Crystals can create and also become rocks. These resulting kidney rocks are painful and can cause blood in the urine, also.
7. Urinary tract infections
Anyone can develop an urinary system infection, or UTI, however UTIs and also kidney infections additionally happen to be a symptom or indicator of PKD. Experts approximate that 30 to 50% of people with PKD can establish a UTI within their lifetime; women with autosomal leading polycystic kidney condition are most likely than guys to establish UTIs. If it injures to pee, or you feel the urge to go far more usually than normal, you may have established a UTI. If you do have a UTI, your physician will most likely suggest antibiotics.
Tiredness appears to be a sign of everything, and of course, tiredness as well as weakness can be an indication of the onset of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney condition. So, if you’ve seen a feeling of despair and also tiredness that you can not rationalize, you might continue to be cautious, particularly if you have a family history of PKD or begin to create any of the other signs.
9. Trembling in the breast
A fluttering or even a pounding feeling can be a sign of PKD. According to the National Kidney Foundation, regarding one in four individuals with polycystic kidney condition have a “saggy shutoff” in their hearts, which can cause an upsetting fluttering experience– and also often even breast discomfort. If you notice this or any unusual signs and symptoms, see your doctor as soon as you can. | medical |

An endodontist completes additional years of specialty training. They limit their practice to root canals and root end surgery. The average endodontist does about 25 cases each week.
Because they limit their practice solely to endodontic treatment, endodontists are efficient and precise. This equates to positive experiences and faster healing.
Most endodontists offer tremendous flexibility in accommodating emergency cases, so delays in treatment are kept to a minimum and patients can be relieved of dental pain quickly.
Today, getting root canal treatment is often no more uncomfortable than having a filling. Many endodontists use state-of-the-art technology such as operating microscopes, digital imaging, ultrasonic instrumentation and fiber optics, to treat their patients quickly and comfortably. At Red River Endodontics, we use the GentleWave System for most root canal procedures, which cleans microscopic spaces that can’t be reached by standard root canal treatment. We are currently the only provider in North Dakota using the GentleWave System. For more information, please visit GentleWave.com. | medical |

David received training from renowned Master EFT practitioner Gwyneth Moss.
Emotional Freedom Techniques, or EFT (often known as Tapping or EFT Tapping), is a universal healing tool that can provide impressive results for physical, emotional, and performance issues. EFT operates on the premise that no matter what part of your life needs improvement, there are unresolved emotional issues in the way. Even for physical issues, chronic pain, or diagnosed conditions, it is common knowledge that any kind of emotional stress can impede the natural healing potential of the human body.
In many cases, EFT can be applied directly to physical symptoms for relief without exploring any emotional contributors. However, for the most powerful, longest lasting results with EFT, we do expect to identify and target related emotional issues.
The EFT premise also includes the understanding that the more unresolved emotional issues you can clear, the more peace and emotional freedom you will have in your life.
With that in mind, EFT can be an ongoing process that we use to clear out the old traumas, and welcome any new challenges with a healthy, productive attitude.
EFT breathes fresh air into the healing process by borrowing from the Chinese meridian system. While acupuncture, acupressure and the like have been primarily focused on physical ailments, EFT stands back from this ancient process and points it also at emotional issues. These, in turn, often provide benefits for performance and physical issues.
EFT combines the physical benefits of acupuncture with the cognitive benefits of conventional therapy for a much faster, more complete treatment of emotional issues, and the physical and performance issues that often result. | medical |

We are following and exceeding all guidelines, best practices, and proactive recommendations provided from the Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
CTARR remains committed to our community and we are actively taking steps to reduce risk and provide guidance to recovery homes in helping to provide safe housing. We have provided recommendations for screening new admissions, as well as guidance for securing clean and safe housing for your residents. For further information, please visit https://portal.ct.gov/dph or https://www.cdc.gov/.
- All new admissions should be screened over the phone prior to accepting the new resident, and queried for symptoms, etc., ie: fever, cough, aches and pains, any travel outside the US and exposure to anyone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19. If they answer yes to any of these questions, do not accept the admission and refer them to their medical provider.
- Once the client arrives for admission, he or she should be physically screened for symptoms before they are allowed into the home.
- Take their temperature: If someone has a temperature above 98.6° F (37° C), do not admit into the home.
- Respiratory illnesses: If someone has a cough or has difficulty breathing, do not admit into the home.
Immediately refer them to their medical provider. Keep up to date on the recommendations for preventing the spread of COVID-19 on CDC’s website.
Recommendations for safe living in a CTARR Recovery Home:
Increased house cleaning chores. Disinfect surfaces such as doorknobs, kitchen and bathroom cabinet handles, tables and handrails. Your house manager will assign additional chores as necessary.
Identification of aid organizations in our community. Create a list of local organizations that you and your household can contact in the event you need access to information, health care services, support, and resources. Consider including organizations that provide mental health or counseling services, food, and other supplies.
Create an emergency contact list. Ensure your household has a current list of emergency contacts for family, friends, neighbors, carpool drivers, health care providers, teachers, employers, the local public health department, and other community resources.
Practice everyday preventive actions now. Remind everyone in your household of the importance of practicing everyday preventive actions that can help prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses:
- Clean frequently touched surfaces and objects daily (e.g., tables, countertops, light switches, doorknobs, and cabinet handles) using a regular household detergent and water.
- If surfaces are dirty, they should be cleaned using a detergent and water prior to disinfection.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Always wash your hands with soap and water if your hands are visibly dirty.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
Stay home when you are sick, except to get medical care.
Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue.
Practice fiscal responsibility. Many residents have been told not to report to work and some have lost their jobs completely. We recommend that you develop a policy on how to work with residents who may have been financially impacted by COVID-19.
Conserve. Currently household items including toilet paper and cleaning supplies are on short supply, so It’s very important to use items judicially. Additionally, it’s important to coordinate and plan for your meals. If you need assistance with food, please speak with your house manager.
Choose a room in your home that can be used to separate sick household members from those who are healthy. Identify a separate bedroom and bathroom for the sick person to use, if possible. Plan to clean these rooms, as needed, when someone is sick. Learn how to care for someone with COVID-19 at home.
Additionally, as a precautionary measure, it is recommended that you temporarily suspend activities that increase the potential for the introduction of COVID-19 into our communities.
- Visitors to the houses including recovery coaches have been temporarily suspended.
- Recovery Meetings – Attendance at Recovery Meetings hosted at your recovery home should be restricted to residents and staff only.
- Alumni – Alumni presence at any house is temporarily suspended.
- Asking residents to practice social distancing and to avoid groups of 10 or more people.
As circumstances evolve or subside, we will remain in contact with you regarding the extension or reduction of the suspended activities as we endeavor to return to normal operations.
CTARR is appreciative of your understanding and support during this time as we continue to put the health and safety of our residents, managers and community at the forefront of our focus. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact CTARR at [email protected]. | medical |

The singer of hits such as “Break Free” and “Problem” posted an after-surgery picture of herself (wearing her signature cat-eye eyeliner), with a caption addressed to her teeth: “Peace out, final three wisdom teeth. It’s been real.”
With the post, Grande joined several other celebs (including Lily Allen, Paris Hilton and Emile Hirsch) who have shared their dental surgery experience with fans. Will "wisdom teeth removal" become a new trending topic on social media? We aren’t sure — but we can explain a bit about the procedure, and why many younger adults may need it.
Technically called the “third molars,” wisdom teeth usually begin to emerge from the gums between the ages of 17 and 25 — presumably, around the same time that a certain amount of wisdom emerges. Most people have four of these big molars, which are located all the way in the back of the mouth, on the left and right sides of the upper and lower jaws.
But when wisdom teeth begin to appear, there’s often a problem: Many people don’t have enough space in their jaws to accommodate them. When these molars lack sufficient space to fully erupt (emerge), they are said to be “impacted.” Impacted teeth can cause a number of serious problems: These may include pain, an increased potential for bacterial infections, periodontal disease, and even the formation of cysts (pockets of infection below the gum line), which can eventually lead to tooth and bone loss.
In most cases, the best treatment for impacted wisdom teeth is extraction (removal) of the problem teeth. Wisdom tooth extraction is a routine, in-office procedure that is usually performed under local anesthesia or “conscious sedation,” a type of anesthesia where the patient remains conscious (able to breathe normally and respond to stimuli), but is free from any pain or distress. Anti-anxiety medications may also be given, especially for those who are apprehensive about dental procedures.
So if you find you need your wisdom teeth extracted, don’t be afraid to “Break Free” like Ariana Grande did; whether you post the results on social media is entirely up to you.

When you hear the word “dentures” you probably think of an appliance that replaces all the teeth on a dental arch. But there is another type: a removable partial denture (RPD), which can be a viable option for replacing a few missing teeth.
An RPD rests on the bony gum ridges that once held the missing teeth and are secured with clasps or other attachments to adjacent teeth. While lightweight, RPDs are designed to last for many years — they’re made of vitallium, a light but very strong metal alloy that reduces the RPD’s thickness. Recently, metal-free partial dentures are being used that don’t have the fit or longevity of the vitallium partial dentures, but are considered more of a cosmetic solution.
RPDs are custom-made for each individual patient to accommodate the number, location and distribution of teeth missing throughout the mouth. Their design must also reflect the health and stability of the gums and remaining natural teeth to ensure they won’t move unduly during normal mouth function, and will be as lifelike and unnoticeable as possible.
RPDs have been a mainstay in dentistry for many years and represent a less expensive tooth replacement option than implants or fixed bridgework. But they do have their downsides: because of their method of attachment to the remaining natural teeth they tend to accumulate plaque, which increases the risk of both periodontal (gum) disease and tooth decay. Their fit requires that they attach to the adjacent teeth that will cause some damage and lead to their looseness over time.
If you wear an RPD, there are some things you can do to decrease these problems. First and foremost, you should clean your RPD thoroughly every day, as well as brush and floss your remaining teeth to reduce plaque buildup especially at contact points. Be sure to remove the RPD at night while you sleep. And keep up regular dental visits not only for additional plaque removal but also to allow us to inspect the RPD for problems or wear.
An RPD is a viable option for improving mouth function and restoring your smile after multiple tooth loss. With proper care and maintenance, your RPD can serve you well for many years to come.

Can you have healthy teeth and still have gum disease? Absolutely! And if you don’t believe us, just ask actor David Ramsey. The cast member of TV hits such as Dexter and Arrow said in a recent interview that up to the present day, he has never had a single cavity. Yet at a routine dental visit during his college years, Ramsey’s dentist pointed out how easily his gums bled during the exam. This was an early sign of periodontal (gum) disease, the dentist told him.
“I learned that just because you don’t have cavities, doesn’t mean you don’t have periodontal disease,” Ramsey said.
Apparently, Ramsey had always been very conscientious about brushing his teeth but he never flossed them.
“This isn’t just some strange phenomenon that exists just in my house — a lot of people who brush don’t really floss,” he noted.
Unfortunately, that’s true — and we’d certainly like to change it. So why is flossing so important?
Oral diseases such as tooth decay and periodontal disease often start when dental plaque, a bacteria-laden film that collects on teeth, is allowed to build up. These sticky deposits can harden into a substance called tartar or calculus, which is irritating to the gums and must be removed during a professional teeth cleaning.
Brushing teeth is one way to remove soft plaque, but it is not effective at reaching bacteria or food debris between teeth. That’s where flossing comes in. Floss can fit into spaces that your toothbrush never reaches. In fact, if you don’t floss, you’re leaving about a third to half of your tooth surfaces unclean — and, as David Ramsey found out, that’s a path to periodontal disease.
Since then, however, Ramsey has become a meticulous flosser, and he proudly notes that the long-ago dental appointment “was the last we heard of any type of gum disease.”
Let that be the same for you! Just remember to brush and floss, eat a good diet low in sugar, and come in to the dental office for regular professional cleanings.
If you would like more information on flossing or periodontal disease, please contact us today to schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article “Understanding Gum (Periodontal) Disease.”

Sunlight contains red, orange, yellow, green and blue light rays (as shown in the prism). Violet and blue are the highest energy rays and create the most damage and glare.
Why does blue light present a threat?
The fact that blue light penetrates all the way to the retina (the inner lining of the back of the eye) is important. Laboratory studies have shown that too much exposure to blue light can damage light-sensitive cells in the retina. This could increase the risk of macular degeneration, the leading cause of vision loss.
Many eye care providers are concerned that the added blue light exposure from computer screens, smartphones and other digital devices might increase a person’s risk of macular degeneration later in life.
Where does blue light come from?
Blue light is actually everywhere. Light from the sun travels through the atmosphere. The shorter, high energy blue wavelengths collide with the air molecules causing blue light to scatter everywhere. This is what makes the sky look blue. In its natural form, your body uses blue light from the sun to regulate your natural sleep and wake cycles. This is known as your circadian rhythm. In the right doses, blue light also helps boost alertness, heighten reaction times, elevate moods, and increase the feeling of well being. | medical |

Antioxidants are natural substances that have significant health benefits, preventing or delaying certain types of cell damage throughout the body. Including antioxidants in the diet can help keep a person healthy, and protect against damaging free radicals; including antioxidants in skin products can increase the skin’s collagen production, smooth wrinkles and fade age spots.
Benefits Of Antioxidants
Whether used as treatments or preventatives, antioxidants may:
- Improve metabolism
- Prevent neurological damage
- Prevent certain types of cancer
- Prevent wrinkles and fade age spots
- Promote healing of wounds, cuts and scars
Antioxidants are found in many foods, including fruits and vegetables. They are also available as dietary supplements.
Types Of Antioxidants For Skincare
Certain types of antioxidant supplements may be doctor-recommended in order to help treat various skin conditions. A doctor may also recommend dietary changes to assist in a patient’s antioxidant intake. Some of the most commonly prescribed antioxidants and their skin health benefits are discussed below.
Vitamin E supplements help prevent premature aging and reduce susceptibility to sunburns from exposure to UVB radiation. This does not mean that taking vitamin E orally and applying it topically are adequate substitutes for sunscreen; however, doing so can help the skin stay healthier and more supple.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is key to the production of collagen, a protein that aids in the growth of skin cells, and helps give skin its firmness. Vitamin C also helps to heal wounds by stimulating scar-tissue formation, which helps the skin to repair itself.
Almost all B vitamins, including B1, B2, B6, B5, B7 and B12, are needed for the growth of superficial layers of skin. Deficiency of B vitamins can lead to several skin conditions, including dandruff, dry and scaly skin, dermatitis, and premature signs of aging. Vitamin B6 is frequently prescribed for the treatment of acne, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis and skin lesions.
Flavonoids are naturally occurring phytochemicals found in plant-based foods such as green tea and chocolate. Flavonoids are often touted for their antiaging benefits, and their ability to absorb UV light and assist in cell turnover.
Coenzyme Q10, also known as CoQ10 or ubiquinone, is one of the most promising antioxidants. It has been touted as a beneficial supplement for treating a variety of health conditions, including heart disease, gum disease, and Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. It has also been used to increase fertility and treat high blood pressure. Dermatologically, CoQ10 has been touted for its powerful antiaging and skin-improving benefits.
Lycopene is a naturally occurring type of carotenoid found in fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, pink grapefruit, watermelons and papaya. As an antioxidant, lycopene prevents free radicals from stimulating the bone loss that naturally occurs with aging. It has been shown to promote collagen production and smoother skin. Preliminary research also suggests that lycopene provides some level of UV protection and reduces the risk of skin cancer.
Beta-carotene is part of the group of red, orange and yellow antioxidants known as carotenoids. Beta-carotene and other carotenoids provide approximately half of the vitamin A needed in the diet. Beta-carotene occurs naturally in many fruits, vegetables and whole grains. It is recommended for treating sun sensitivity in patients who have the blood disorder erythropoietic protoporphyria, and for preventing certain skin disorders, including psoriasis and vitiligo.
Considerations And Risks Of Antioxidants
Antioxidants should be prescribed in consultation with the doctor. Certain antioxidants, if ingested in high doses or in combination with certain medications, may result in overdose and/or adverse side effects.
Although antioxidants are widely used to prevent cancer from developing, they can interfere with cancer treatments. Antioxidant supplements can also affect insulin sensitivity in diabetic or obese patients, and interfere with prescribed physical exercise. In those cases, antioxidant supplements should be administered under careful supervision of a doctor.
In some cases, high-doses of antioxidants are linked to health risks. For example, high doses of beta-carotene may increase the risk of lung cancer in smokers, and high doses of vitamin E may increase the risk of prostate cancer or stroke. | medical |
