In fact my doctor recommends regular moderate amounts of red wine as a means of minimizing the risk of heart disease. Great advice!
But the latest news from the researchers could be even better – red wine information stops obesity. Can it be that researchers at Purdue University have come up with something that could be the answer to the weighty problem which is the health scourge of the Western world?
It seems that a compound identified in red wine (called piceatannol – where do they get these names from?) has the capability to block the development of fat cells.
Kee-Hong Kim, an assistant professor of food science, and Jung Yeon Kwon, a graduate student in Kim’s laboratory, reported in this week’s issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry that the compound piceatannol blocks an immature fat cell’s ability to develop and grow.
While similar in structure to resveratrol — the compound found in red wine, grapes and peanuts that is thought to combat cancer, heart disease and neurodegenerative diseases — piceatannol might be an important weapon against obesity. Resveratrol is converted to piceatannol in humans after consumption.
“Piceatannol actually alters the timing of gene expressions, gene functions and insulin action during adipogenesis, the process in which early stage fat cells become mature fat cells,” Kim said. “In the presence of piceatannol, you can see delay or complete inhibition of adipogenesis.” Read the complete article here.
Sounds almost too good to be true doesn’t it? A glass of red wine seems to be taking on more of a presence than merely an enjoyable complement to a lovely meal.
Of course if these health benefits are to be realized, then it is imperative that the consumer is aware that quantity consumed does not generate proportional benefits. Put another way, the law of diminishing returns applies when any link is made between improved health and wine consumption.
So the message is, drink wine moderately and enjoy it for what it is. Any additional benefits surrounding improved health is merely an unexpected bonus. Do you agree? Have your say below.

Well you’re in the right place!
In this post, I’m going to discuss this very important subject…
MTHFR and Dairy
Mutations of the MTHFR gene are a popular subject and for a good reason.
As you’re already aware, these mutations can increase the risk of various health problems.
The food we eat plays a big role in our likelihood of developing or worsening those conditions.
That’s why MTHFR and dairy is a significant topic to discuss.
Dairy is widely consumed, and you need accurate and reliable information on whether you should keep it or ditch out of the menu.
Since it’s not that easy to find reliable info on this topic, I’m going to clarify it in the post below.
Scroll down to see whether dairy is safe for you or not.
Dairy and MTHFR
Dairy consumption is not the best choice for people with MTHFR gene mutation.
In many cases, you’ll want to avoid or, at least, reduce consumption of cow’s milk and other dairy products if you’re carrying a mutation of MTHFR.
Food sensitivity or allergies to dairy can produce antibodies that clog folate receptors.
You see, folate receptor A from cow’s milk is different enough from the human receptor to generate antibodies, but not as different to cause the antibodies formed to attack their own folate receptor.
What happens next is that these antibodies start blocking the transport of folate to the brain.
For reference, folate reaches the brain through receptors and carriers.
The most prominent receptor is the above-mentioned folate receptor A.
Evidence shows that milk contains substantial amounts of folate receptors and seems to present the triggering antigen for the autoantibody response.
Why does folate matter?
What I said above was the consumption of dairy, especially cow’s milk, can block the transport of folate to the brain.
This is bad news, especially if you are pregnant and happen to have MTHFR mutation…
It’s easy to wonder what’s milk got to do with folate and why all these matters for people with a mutation of the MTHFR gene.
Let’s start from the basics first…
Folate, or vitamin B9, takes part in a wide range of functions in the body.
Some of the most important roles of folate include the formation of red blood cells, healthy cell growth, and function, healthy pregnancy…
During early pregnancy, folate is crucial to lowering the risk of birth defects of the brain and spine.
What many people don’t know is that the MTHFR gene gives the body the instructions to produce MTHFR protein, which is important for processing folate.
This is particularly important if we bear in mind that the body also needs folate to make DNA and produce proteins.
People with certain MTHFR variants may have lower folate levels.
It’s also useful to mention that MTHFR makes it difficult to process folic acid, a synthetic version of folate.
More precisely, MTHFR and dairy have a complicated relationship.
Eating dairy with MTHFR mutation can only aggravate your condition if you already have it and make it difficult to manage symptoms you’re experiencing.
MTHFR Dairy Intolerance
Dairy sensitivity is defined as an immune response to one or more protein-based components in milk.
First, I need to clarify that dairy sensitivity isn’t the same thing as lactose intolerance because most of us tend to use these terms interchangeably.
A lactose intolerant person isn’t able to digest and absorb lactose, a type of sugar in dairy products.
This happens because people with lactose intolerance have low levels of lactase, an enzyme that helps digest and breaks down lactose.
Dairy sensitivity is different, though.
As I mentioned above, dairy sensitivity is an immune response to milk antigens.
It has nothing to do with enzyme deficiency.
The mechanism of action associated with this condition isn’t fully understood, but it all comes down to the way the immune system reacts to dairy.
Both dairy intolerance and sensitivity are triggered by different foods from this group, such as cow’s milk, ice cream, butter, cheese…
Consuming dairy products when there is a potential methylation deficiency adds greater stress to your body.
Speaking of food sensitivities, dairy sensitivity is often close to gluten sensitivity in terms of severity.
It also happens that dairy is cross-reactive with gluten.
That means that in people with gluten sensitivity, the body may see dairy the same way it does gluten and initiate an inflammatory immune attack.
Not all dairy is equal, though.
Commercially produced dairy is a potential inflammatory food.
Although the process of pasteurization eliminates detrimental organisms from the milk, it also kills beneficial enzymes and organisms the body needs to digest the milk more effectively.
What’s the verdict on MTHFR and dairy?
The relationship between MTHFR and dairy is tricky and worth exploring…
Hopefully, in the future, there will be some important studies on this subject, especially because many people have MTHFR gene mutation, but consume dairy.
They do so because they don’t realize it could be bad for them.
For people with MTHFR gene mutation, dairy may not be the best choice.
This is particularly the case if you consume cow’s milk and tend to buy commercially produced dairy.
Ideally, you should avoid dairy products entirely or reduce their consumption…
You may also want to consult your healthcare provider, especially if you are pregnant.
People who want to consume dairy, but still aim to reduce MTHFR-related complications, organic and unpasteurized foods could be useful, but there are no indications they make a huge difference.
Throughout this post, I focused on…
The Relationship Between MTHFR and Dairy Conclusion
This important subject requires a great deal of research, but it’s easy to conclude the relationship between the two is complicated at best.
Dairy consumption may block the transport of folate to the brain, induce inflammatory responses, and aggravate your condition.
Make sure to reduce the consumption of dairy or avoid it entirely.
Nowadays, there are many plant-based alternatives that you can try.
Pregnant women concerned about their health may want to consult their doctor about MTHFR and dairy. | medical |
https://canada-pharmacy-online.su/the-impact-of-weather-on-arthritis-symptoms | 2024-04-15T23:34:17 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817033.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20240415205332-20240415235332-00322.warc.gz | 0.948621 | 772 | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-18__0__155544669 | en | Understanding Arthritis and Its Connection to Weather
As an arthritis sufferer, I’m familiar with the pain and discomfort that comes with it. But what you might not know is that weather can have a big impact on arthritis symptoms. This may seem strange, but there is a significant amount of scientific data supporting this connection. The connection between arthritis and weather is not fully understood, but it is believed to be related to atmospheric pressure and temperature changes. When these changes occur, they can cause inflammation in the joints, leading to increased pain and stiffness.
How Cold Weather Worsens Arthritis Symptoms
When winter comes, many people with arthritis notice a worsening of their symptoms. The cold weather can cause your joints to stiffen up, leading to increased pain and discomfort. This is because the cold causes your body to restrict blood flow to your extremities, such as your hands and feet, in order to keep your core warm. This can lead to swelling and stiffness in the joints. Furthermore, the cold weather can make your pain receptors more sensitive, making the discomfort even worse.
The Impact of Humidity on Arthritis
Humidity is another weather factor that can affect arthritis symptoms. High humidity can cause your joints to swell, leading to increased pain and stiffness. This is because humidity can affect the barometric pressure in your environment, which can cause fluid in your joints to expand. The expansion of this fluid can put pressure on your joints, leading to increased pain and discomfort. If you live in a humid climate, you may find that your arthritis symptoms are worse on humid days.
Barometric Pressure and Its Effects on Joint Pain
You might have heard people with arthritis say that they can predict the weather based on their joint pain. This is not a myth. Barometric pressure, which is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere at a given point, can impact joint pain. When the barometric pressure drops, it can cause your joints to swell, leading to pain and stiffness. This is why many people with arthritis notice a flare-up in symptoms before a storm or a change in weather.
Heat and Arthritis: A Double-edged Sword
Heat can be both a blessing and a curse for people with arthritis. On one hand, warm weather can help to ease stiffness and make joints feel more flexible. This is because heat can increase blood flow, which can help to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. However, too much heat can also lead to dehydration, which can exacerbate arthritis symptoms. Therefore, if you're spending time in a hot climate or during a heatwave, it's important to stay hydrated and take breaks in the shade to avoid overheating.
Weather Changes and Mood Impact on Arthritis
It's not just physical changes that can affect arthritis symptoms. Changes in weather can also have a psychological impact. For example, gloomy weather can lead to feelings of depression or sadness, which can make pain feel worse. Additionally, if you're stuck indoors due to bad weather, this can lead to feelings of frustration or boredom, which can also exacerbate pain. Therefore, it's important to take care of your mental health as well as your physical health when dealing with arthritis.
Adapting Your Lifestyle to Minimize Weather Effects on Arthritis
While we can't control the weather, we can adapt our lifestyle to help minimize its effects on arthritis. This can involve simple steps like dressing warmly in cold weather and staying hydrated in hot weather. Regular exercise can also help to keep joints flexible and reduce stiffness. If you find that certain weather conditions worsen your symptoms, you may want to consider relocating to a more arthritis-friendly climate. Lastly, don't underestimate the power of a positive mindset. Staying positive and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can go a long way in managing arthritis symptoms, no matter the weather. | medical |

Over the years, Child’s Play has received incredible feedback from parents, doctors, friends, and patients regarding the positive influence of games during hospital stays. Studies have shown that children able to play games while undergoing painful procedures request less pain medication. Technology like the Kinect and Wii Balance Board allow for children to participate in physical therapy activities in an enjoyable, approachable environment. Children also struggle with a lack of normalcy or routine during hospital stays; being able to play a multiplayer game with a sibling or play a handheld system during a late-night treatment helps ease these additional stresses. | medical |

Silver is one of Earth’s most precious elements, a trace mineral found in the soil. For thousands of years silver has been valued for its beneficial health properties. We know silver is not an essential element for biological processes, however, when taken internally and topically in the correct form, silver acts as a potent mineral antibiotic that can neutralize viruses, fungus, yeast and mold, while supporting friendly bacteria which is critical for a healthy and robust gut microbiome. Standard conventional therapies are designed to kill certain pathogenic bacteria, yet at the same time they kill healthy bacteria, aka friendly flora. It is well known in the medical community that a healthy gut with healthy bacteria, equals a strong immune system.

We may have intuitively known that these kinds of experiences are not good for children. Why is understanding the impact important?
Research now shows us that the more ACEs that children experience, the more likely they are to suffer from both medical concerns like heart disease and diabetes, but also mental health and substance abuse later in life.
Experiencing many ACEs, as well as things like racism and community violence can cause toxic levels of stress. This can activate the body’s stress response system and can lead to negative impacts on both the body and brain.
We also know that we can reduce the effects of this stress through a range of interventions that can help, including mental health therapy, meditation, physical exercise, spending time in nature, and most importantly– making sure that children have supportive adults in their lives.
At Southeast Youth and Family Services, we focus on fostering strong, responsive relationships between children and their caregivers, and helping children and adults develop effective coping skills in order to help buffer them from stress and build resilience.

But scientists are learning that air pollution can pose serious risks to anyone. You don’t have to be old or sick. You don’t have to suck in horrible fumes or air so full of pollutants that you can see and taste them.

Hurricane season is approaching, this section of our newsletter will help to make sure you are fully prepared in case of emergency. We have already spoke about the emergency kits and the Emergency and Evacuation Assistance Program (EEAP). This month’s topic of interest is refilling prescription medications before a hurricane.
When speaking about emergency kits we mentioned that it is important to keep your prescription medications in this kit so that they will be with you in case of an emergency. You should also keep in your kit a list of all of your medications. You should include: the name of the drug, the doctor who prescribed it, the amount needed to take and how often, and the local pharmacy where you refill this medication. In case of an emergency if you need assistance, this will be important to have so that your caregiver or yourself, has all of the necessary information to refill these medications. Additionally, it is recommended that you have enough medication to last for at least two weeks to be prepared for the worst-case scenario.
In order to be prepared with your prescriptions, once a storm is announced or close you should try to call your healthcare provider to get any necessary refills. In Florida the “Emergency Prescription Refill” law was passed allowing you to refill prescribed medications for 30 days during a disaster if there is a hurricane warning or an announced state of emergency. This helps to make sure that you are fully stocked up on your necessary medications. If you cannot reach your healthcare provider, do not panic! In addition to this, pharmacists are allowed to provide a 72-hour supply if an individual cannot reach their doctor to refill the medication for them. In times of disasters doctors are very busy so it is important to know that there are alternatives to make sure that you are supplied with the medications needed for your day-to-day life. You can access the full description of the Emergency Prescription Refill Law here.
Over the next several months, we will have a new tip for you in each one of our newsletters. Make sure to check back for more tips and preparations during hurricane season! | medical |

By maintaining a healthy fat to muscle ratio and staying active it is possible to help delay age-related illnesses and conditions that could negatively impact your quality of life.
By properly training your body with a combination of physical, dietary, and stress-minimizing techniques you will be able to reap results that help your mind and your body. Here are 10 simple reasons why physical exercise helps your mind and mental health.
1. Keeps the Brain Running in Peak Condition!
A well maintained cardiovascular system makes certain that your brain gets the blood it needs to keep functioning normally. Physical training strengthens your heart and arteries and helps keep you from getting foggy headed and other distressing problems. For the brain, in particular, sufficient blood flow can help remove metabolic byproducts and reduce the risk of stroke and related medical problems.
2. Exercise Leads to Better Blood Sugar Control and Improved Mental Health.
The brain utilizes the most energy out of all your organs every day, thus making it most susceptible to fluctuations in blood sugar levels. By helping keep your blood sugar under control through physical fitness you can make it easier for your brain to perform at peak efficiency. Uncontrolled blood sugar leads to weakened arteries and places you at a greater risk of developing dementia and related mental health illnesses.
Regular physical activity forces your muscles to utilize more glucose which reduces your need for insulin. It also helps reset the sensitivity to insulin that your body already has. This, in turn, can help reduce symptoms on the long run. You don’t have to run a marathon to see benefits. Normal day-to-day activities can bring many benefits in this regard.
3. Exercise Helps You Concentrate.
Regular exercise has a direct correlation to improved concentration on the short-term and helps prevent brain aging on the long-term, according to the Harvard Medical School. Any activity that increases blood flow works. Some fun activities include:
4. Reduces Risk of Energy Sapping Illnesses.
The immune system is normally a quiet partner in your day to day life. This changes when you become ill. A nasty bug can rob you of the ability to concentrate and participate in regular activities. Thankfully you can mitigate this risk through physical training.
Per MedlinePlus regular exercise can help promote immunity to certain illnesses. You don’t have to hit the gym and work out two hours a day to see the benefits. Just a healthy bit of exercise every couple of days will do wonders in helping stave off the common cold.
5. Helps You Sleep at Night.
There have been many studies that show regular exercise can help women dealing with chronic insomnia. There are many reasons why exercise may help with sleep:
- Reduces Anxiety.
- Helps Alleviate Moderate Depression.
- Burns Off Excess Energy.
Benefits can be obtained by going out on an enjoyable stroll around your neighborhood. This is one of the oldest insomnia tricks in the book for a reason. It works when other forms of sleep aids fail.
6. Helps Inspire Creatively and Inspiration.
According to a study highlighted in the Journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, those that regularly exercise outperform their sedentary peers on tests of creativity. Integrate mild to moderate exercise into your routine if you are having trouble getting past a mental block on your writing or other creative projects. It may be just what you need to get that spark of inspiration.
7. Helps You Socialize More.
Many forms of exercise are best done in group settings. When deciding which exercises you wish to include in your life bring in your friends and family. A shared passion for swimming may bring your family together for fun times at your local pool.
Socialization is often considered the key to a healthy mind. By regularly interacting with new people in a friendly setting you can properly stimulate your mind.
8. Improves Long-Term Memory.
A recent study published in Current Biology covers the potential for exercise to help with long-term memory formation and general learning. The study found that engaging in mild to moderate exercise after lessons helped students better recall the material covered later on.
When it comes to mental health a sharp memory is essential. By making exercise a part of your daily life you will be able to improve your ability to remember vital information.
9. Gives You a Mentally Stimulating Hobby.
There are few things people truly have control over in their lives. Work and living situations are often dictated by the community, local economy, and needs of the family. What we do in our precious free time is often one of the few ways we have of expressing true individuality. By choosing to engage in physical activities you find stimulating and fun you will be helping strengthen your mind alongside your body.
10. Helps Improve Your Self-Image.
How we view ourselves and our mental health are intrinsically linked. By engaging in regular physical activity it is possible to maintain a healthy body composition while ensuring proper mental function.
A healthy outlook starts with an understanding that health matters more than beauty standards. Don’t worry about weight or size as long as you eat healthy and are strong.
Help maintain your physical and mental health by training your body through a wide variety of exercises and lifestyle adjustments. By focusing on ways to improve your daily life through better habits and activities you will have amazing results.

Private Health Insurance
If you or a member of your family fall seriously ill you will want to take prompt action to get treatment. Whilst we know how good the NHS can be particularly in areas such as Accident & Emergency services with growing demands on its resources there can be long delays before treatment becomes available. Private Medical Insurance allows you to choose when and where you or your family receive treatment. It also speeds up the treatment process ensuring you get on the road to recovery quickly.
Permanent Health Insurance
This is a plan designed to give you a regular benefit if you suffer illness or injury limiting your ability to work and leading to a loss of earnings. Your benefit can replace lost earnings.
Term Life Insurance
Term life insurance plans pay a lump sum if the policyholder dies during a specified time period. They are designed so that family members won't suffer any financial hardship should the insured party die. Most policies have the option to include critical illness cover for an additional fee.
Critical Illness Insurance
Critical illness insurance plans pay the policyholder a lump should they be diagnosed with a critical illness. Illnesses covered vary from policy to policy, but commonly include: heart disease, strokes and cancer. Critical illness cover is designed as a financial safeguard for survivors of serious illness who haven't recovered sufficiently to return to work (not to be confused with medical insurance plans which cover the cost of treatment).

Are you ready to discover what to expect at your next dental exam? Regular dental exams are an essential part of maintaining good oral health and preventing potential issues down the line. Whether it's been six months or a few years since your last visit, understanding the process can help ease any anxiety and ensure you get the most out of your appointment. So, let's dive in and explore what awaits you during your next dental exam!
Regular dental exams play a crucial role in maintaining optimal oral health. These appointments are not just about getting your teeth cleaned or having a quick check-up; they serve as essential preventive measures that can help detect and address potential issues before they become major problems.
During your dental exam, the dentist will thoroughly assess the condition of your teeth and gums. This includes checking for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other oral health concerns. They may also take X-rays to get a closer look at areas that aren't visible to the naked eye.
One of the key benefits of regular dental exams is early detection. By identifying issues in their initial stages, dentists can provide timely intervention and prevent further damage or complications. For example, catching a small cavity early on means it can be treated with a simple filling rather than needing more extensive treatment like root canal therapy.
Additionally, routine cleanings during these exams help remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth. Even with excellent oral hygiene habits at home, some areas may still be missed, leading to plaque accumulation over time. Professional cleaning helps eliminate these deposits and reduces the risk of developing cavities or gum disease.
Moreover, regular dental visits offer an opportunity for education and guidance on proper oral care techniques tailored specifically to you. Dentists and hygienists can provide valuable tips on brushing techniques and flossing methods and recommend suitable products based on your unique needs.
During your next dental exam, you can expect a variety of common treatments and procedures to ensure the health and well-being of your teeth and gums. These procedures are essential for maintaining good oral hygiene and preventing dental problems from worsening.
One of the first things your dentist will do is conduct a thorough examination of your mouth. This typically involves checking for any signs of tooth decay, gum disease, or other oral health issues. They may also take X-rays to get a closer look at the overall condition of your teeth and jawbone.
Next, your dentist will perform a professional cleaning known as scaling and polishing. This process involves using special tools to remove plaque buildup from both above and below the gumline. They will also polish away any surface stains on your teeth, leaving them looking clean and shiny.
If there are any cavities present, your dentist may need to fill them. This is done by removing the decayed portion of the tooth with a drill or laser and filling it with a composite resin material that matches the color of your natural teeth.
In some cases, additional treatments such as root canal therapy or extractions may be necessary. Your dentist will discuss these options with you if they are needed based on their findings during the exam.
Regular dental exams play an important role in maintaining optimal oral health. By undergoing these common treatments and procedures during each visit, you can keep your smile healthy and prevent more serious dental issues down the road. So don't forget to schedule that next appointment!
After your dental exam, it's important to take care of your oral health and follow any recommendations from your dentist. Here are some post-exam care tips and follow-up recommendations you can expect:
1. Maintain good oral hygiene: Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily to remove plaque buildup. This will help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues.
2. Schedule regular cleanings: Your dentist may recommend scheduling regular professional cleanings every six months or as needed based on the condition of your teeth and gums. These cleanings help remove tartar buildup that cannot be removed by brushing alone.
3. Treat existing dental problems: If any dental issues were identified during the exam, such as cavities or gum disease, your dentist will provide treatment options for addressing these problems. It's important to promptly address these issues to prevent further damage to your oral health.
4. Discuss preventive measures: Your dentist may suggest additional preventive measures tailored to your specific needs. This could include applying sealants to protect vulnerable areas of the teeth or recommending specific mouthwashes or products for maintaining optimal oral health.
5. Follow-up appointments: Depending on the nature of any treatments recommended, you may need to schedule follow-up appointments with your dentist for procedures like fillings or extractions.
6. Seek specialized treatment if necessary: In some cases, further evaluation by a specialist may be recommended if more complex dental procedures are required, such as orthodontic treatment or oral surgery.
Remember that each individual's dental needs are unique, so it's essential to follow the personalized advice given by your dentist after the exam.
By taking proactive steps in caring for your teeth and following up on any necessary treatments or recommendations provided during a dental exam, you'll be well on track toward achieving optimal oral health!
So why wait? Schedule that next dental appointment now because prevention is always better than cure when it comes to your oral health!

Most older Americans have health insurance through Medicare. Medicare covers a variety of services, including inpatient hospital care, physician services, hospital outpatient care, home health care, skilled nursing facility care, hospice services, and (beginning in January 2006) prescription drugs. Utilization rates for many services change over time because of changes in physician practice patterns, medical technology, Medicare payment policies, and patient demographics.
- Between 1992 and 1999, the hospitalization rate increased from 306 hospital stays per 1,000 Medicare enrollees to 365 per 1,000. The rate then decreased to 350 per 1,000 enrollees in 2005. The average length of a hospital stay decreased from 8.4 days in 1992 to 5.7 days in 2005.
- Skilled nursing facility stays increased significantly from 28 per 1,000 Medicare enrollees in 1992 to 79 per 1,000 in 2005. Much of the increase occurred from 1992 to 1997.
- Between 1992 and 2005, the number of physician visits and consultations increased. There were 11,359 visits and consultations per 1,000 Medicare enrollees in 1992, compared with 13,914 in 2005.
- The number of home health care visits per 1,000 Medicare enrollees increased rapidly from 3,822 in 1992 to 8,227 in 1997. Home health care use increased during this period in part because of an expansion in the coverage criteria for the Medicare home health care benefit.40 Home health care visits declined after 1997 to 2,295 per 1,000 enrollees in 2001. The decline coincided with changes in Medicare payment policies for home health care resulting from implementation of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. The visit rate increased thereafter to 2,770 per 1,000 enrollees in 2005.
- Use of skilled nursing facility and home health care increased markedly with age. In 2005, there were 30 skilled nursing facility stays per 1,000 Medicare enrollees age 65–74, compared with 228 per 1,000 enrollees age 85 or over. Home health agencies made 1,333 visits per 1,000 enrollees age 65–74, compared with 6,549 per 1,000 for those age 85 and over.
Data for this indicator’s charts and bullets can be found in Tables 29a and 29b.
Health Care Expenditures
Older Americans use more health care than any other age group. Health care costs are increasing rapidly at the same time the Baby Boom generation is approaching retirement age.
- After adjusting for inflation, health care costs increased significantly among older Americans from 1992 to 2004. Average costs were substantially higher at older ages.
- Average health care costs varied by demographic characteristics. Average costs among non-Hispanic blacks were $14,989 in 2004, compared with $13,101 among non-Hispanic whites and $11,962 among Hispanics. Low income individuals incurred higher health care costs; those with less than $10,000 in income averaged $16,766 in health care costs, whereas those with more than $30,000 in income averaged only $10,676.
- Costs also varied by health status. Individuals with no chronic conditions incurred $4,718 in health care costs on average. Those with five or more conditions incurred $20,334. Average costs among residents of long-term care facilities were $52,958, compared with only $10,448 among community residents.
- Access to health care is determined by a variety of factors related to the cost, quality, and availability of health care services. The percentage of older Americans who reported they delayed getting care because of cost declined from 9.8 percent in 1992 to about 5 percent in 1997 and remained relatively constant thereafter. The percentage who reported difficulty obtaining care varied between 2 percent and 3 percent.
Health care costs can be broken down into different types of goods and services. The amount of money older Americans spend on health care and the type of health care that they receive provide an indication of the health status and needs of older Americans in different age and income groups.
- Hospital and physician services are the largest components of health care costs. Long-term care facilities accounted for 14 percent of total costs in 2004. Prescription drugs accounted for 15 percent of health care costs.
- The mix of health care services changed between 1992 and 2004. Inpatient hospital care accounted for a lower share of costs in 2004 (25 percent compared to 32 percent in 1992). Prescription drugs increased in importance from 8 percent of costs in 1992 to 15 percent in 2004. “Other” costs (short term institutions, hospice and dental care) also increased as a percentage of all costs (4 percent to 8 percent).
- The mix of services varied with age. The biggest difference occurred for long-term care facility services; average costs were $7,057 among people age 85 and over, compared with just $431 among those age 65–74. Costs of home health care and “other” services also were higher at older ages. Costs of physician/outpatient services and prescription drugs did not show a strong pattern by age.
Data for this indicator’s charts and bullets can be found in Tables 30a, 30b, 30c, 30d, and 30e.
Prescription drug costs have increased rapidly in recent years, as more new drugs become available. Lack of prescription drug coverage has created a financial hardship for many older Americans. Medicare coverage of prescription drugs began in January 2006, including a low income subsidy for beneficiaries with low incomes and assets.
- Average prescription drug costs for older Americans have increased rapidly in recent years. Average costs per person were $2,107 in 2004.
- Average out-of-pocket costs also increased, though not as rapidly as total costs because private and public insurance covered more of the cost over time. Older Americans paid 60 percent of prescription drug costs out of pocket in 1992, compared with 36 percent in 2004. Private insurance covered 38 percent of prescription drug costs in 2004; public programs covered 25 percent.
- Costs varied significantly among individuals. Approximately 8 percent of older Americans incurred no prescription drug costs in 2004. About 24 percent incurred $2,500 or more in prescription drug costs that year.
The purpose of this indicator is to provide a count of Medicare enrollees age 65 and over receiving drug coverage through Part D or in plans of former employers subsidized by Part D. Under Medicare Part D, beneficiaries may join a stand alone prescription drug plan or a Medicare Advantage plan that provides prescription drug coverage in addition to other Medicare-covered services. In situations where beneficiaries receive drug coverage from a former employer, the former employer may be eligible to receive a retiree drug subsidy from Medicare to help cover the cost of the drug benefit.
- The number of Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in Part D prescription drug plans increased from 18.2 million in June 2006 to 19.7 million in September 2007. In September 2007, two-thirds of enrollees were in stand-alone plans and one-third were in Medicare Advantage plans. In addition, approximately 6.5 million beneficiaries were covered by the Retiree Drug Subsidy in both years. Beneficiaries who were not in Part D plans and not covered by the Retiree Drug Subsidy either had drug coverage through another source (e.g., Tricare, Federal Employees Health Benefits plan, Department of Veterans Affairs, or current employer) or did not have drug coverage.
- In September 2007, 5.9 million Part D enrollees were receiving low income sub-sidies. Many of these beneficiaries had drug coverage through the Medicaid program prior to enrollment in Part D.
- Chronic conditions are associated with high prescription drug costs. In 2004, older Americans with no chronic conditions incurred average prescription drug costs of $800. Those with five or more chronic conditions incurred $3,862 in prescription drug costs on average.
Data for this indicator’s charts and bullets can be found in Tables 31a, 31b, 31c, and 31d.
Sources of Health Insurance
Nearly all older Americans have Medicare as their primary source of health insurance coverage. Medicare covers mostly acute care services and requires beneficiaries to pay part of the cost, leaving about one-half of health spending to be covered by other sources. Many beneficiaries have supplemental insurance to fill these gaps and pay for services not covered by Medicare. Since January 2006, beneficiaries have had the option of receiving prescription drug coverage through stand-alone prescription drug plans or through some Medicare Advantage health plans.
- Most Medicare enrollees have a private insur-ance supplement, approximately equally split between employer sponsored and Medigap policies. The percentage with Medicaid cover-age has increased slightly over the last several years to about 12 percent in 2005. Enrollment in Medicare HMOs and similar health plans, which are usually equivalent to Medicare supplements because they offer extra benefits, varied between 6 percent and 21 percent. About 12 percent of Medicare enrollees report having no health insurance supplement.
- Enrollment in HMOs and similar health plans increased rapidly throughout the 1990s, then decreased beginning in 2000 as many HMOs withdrew from the Medicare program. The percent with Medigap policies decreased in the late 1990s as HMO enrollment increased. There was a slight increase in the percentage of Medicare enrollees without a supplement in 2002.
Data for this indicator’s chart and bullets can be found in Tables 32a and 32b.
Out-of-Pocket Health Care Expenditures
Large out-of-pocket expenditures for health care service use have been shown to encumber access to care, affect health status and quality of life, and leave insufficient resources for other necessities.41,42 The percentage of household income that is allocated to health care expenditures is a measure of health care expense burden placed on older people.
- The percentage of people age 65 and over with out-of-pocket spending for health care services increased between 1977 and 2004 (83 percent to 96 percent, respectively).
- From 1977 to 2004, the percentage of household income that people age 65 and over allocated to out-of-pocket spending for health care services increased among those in the poor/near poor income category (from 12 percent to 29 percent). Increases were also observed for those in poor or fair health, most notably among those age 85 and over (from 9 percent to 18 percent).
- In 2004, as in the 4 previous years, over one-half of out-of-pocket health care spending by people age 65 and over was used to purchase prescription drugs (from 54 percent in 2000 to 61 percent in 2004).
- In 2004, people age 85 and over were less likely than people age 65–74 to spend out-of-pocket dollars on dental services or office-based medical provider visits but more likely to spend out-of-pocket dollars on other health care (e.g., home health care and eyeglasses).
Data for this indicator’s chart and bullets can be found in Tables 33a, 33b, and 33c.
Sources of Payment for Health Care Services
Medicare covers about one-half of the health care costs of Medicare enrollees age 65 and over. Medicare’s payments are focused on acute care services such as hospitals and physicians. Nursing home care, prescription drugs, and dental care have been primarily financed out-of-pocket or by other payers. Medicare coverage of prescription drugs began in January 2006, including a low income subsidy.
- Medicare paid for slightly more than one-half (53 percent) of the health care costs of Medicare enrollees age 65 and over in 2004. Medicare finances most of their hospital and physician costs, as well as a majority of short term institutional, home health, and hospice costs.
- Medicaid covered 9 percent of health care costs of Medicare enrollees age 65 and over, and other payers (primarily private insurers) covered another 19 percent. Medicare enrollees age 65 and over paid 19 percent of their health care costs out-of-pocket, not including insurance premiums.
- In 2004, 48 percent of long-term care facility costs for Medicare enrollees age 65 and over were covered by Medicaid; another 45 percent of these costs were paid out-of-pocket. Fifty-five percent of prescription drug costs were covered by third party payers other than Medicare and Medicaid, consisting mostly of private insurers. Thirty-two percent of prescription drug costs were paid out-of-pocket. Seventy-six percent of dental care received by older Americans was paid out-of- pocket.
- Sources of payment for health care vary by income. Lower income individuals rely heavily on Medicaid; those with higher incomes rely more on private insurance. Lower income individuals pay a lower percent of health care costs out-of-pocket, but have a higher average cost for services than individuals with higher incomes.
Data for this indicator’s chart and bullets can be found in Tables 34a and 34b
Veterans Health Care
The number of veterans age 65 and over who receive health care from the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) within the Department of Veterans Affairs has been steadily increasing. This increase may be because VHA fills important gaps in older veterans’ health care needs not currently covered or fully covered by Medicare, such as mental health services, long-term care (nursing home care and community-based care), and specialized services for the disabled.
- In 2006, approximately 2.4 million veterans age 65 and over received health care from VHA. An additional 1.1 million older veterans were enrolled to receive health care from VHA but did not use its services in 2006.
- Reforms and initiatives implemented by VA since 1996 have led to an increased demand for VHA services among veterans despite the short-term decline in the numbers of older veterans (see “Indicator 6: Older Veterans”). Some of the changes include opening the system to all veterans (1996), implementing enrollment for VHA health care (1999), and enhancing availability of outpatient and community based care.
- An increasing number of older veterans are turning to VHA for their health care needs despite their potential eligibility for other sources of health care, most notably prescription drug coverage through Medicare. VHA estimates that 94 percent of its enrollees age 65 and over are covered by Medicare Part A, 74 percent by Medicare Part B, 51 percent by Medigap, 13 percent by Medicaid, 20 percent by private insurance (excluding Medigap), and 10 percent by TRICARE for Life. About 4 percent have no other public or private coverage.43
Data for this indicator’s chart and bullets can be found in Table 35.
Nursing Home Utilization
Residence in a nursing home is an alternative to long-term care provided in one’s home or in other community settings. Recent declines in rates of nursing home residence may reflect broader changes in the health care system affecting older Americans. Other forms of residential care and services, such as assisted living and home health care, have become more prevalent as rates of nursing home admissions have declined.
- In 2004, 9 people per 1,000 age 65–74 resided in nursing homes, compared with 36 people per 1,000 age 75–84 and 139 people per 1,000 age 85 and over.
- The total rate of nursing home residence among the older population declined between 1985 and 2004. In 1985, the age adjusted nursing home residence rate was 54 people per 1,000 age 65 and over. By 2004 this rate had declined to 35 people per 1,000. Among people age 65–74, rates declined by 24 percent, compared with a 37 percent decline among people age 75–84 and age 85 and over.
- Despite the decline in rates of nursing home residence, the number of nursing home residents age 65 and over had been increasing until recently because of the rapid growth of the older population. Between 1985 and 1999, the number of current nursing home residents age 65 and over increased from 1.3 million to 1.5 million but then declined to 1.3 million in 2004. In 2004, almost three-fourths (980,000) of older nursing home residents were women.
- In 2004, the majority of nursing home residents age 65 and over received assistance with at least one activity of daily living (ADL). Levels of assistance provided for individual ADLs were high, from 94 percent for bathing to 73 percent for transferring. The only ADL for which the majority of residents received no assistance (65 percent) was eating.
- Among the nursing home population, women were more likely than men to require full assistance with daily activities. The percentage of women who were totally dependent in any one of the five activities was higher than that for men. Conversely, men were more likely to receive no assistance with daily activities.
- Older white nursing home residents were less likely than black residents or residents of other races to be dependent in daily activities. For example, nearly one-half of all black and other race residents were dependent in bathing, 46 percent for both, while 37 percent of white residents required total assistance. White residents were more likely to receive some intermediate level of assistance.
Data for this indicator’s charts and bullets can be found in Tables 36a, 36b, and 36c
Some older Americans living in the community have access to various services through their place of residence. Such services may include meal preparation, laundry and cleaning services, and help with medications. Availability of such services through the place of residence may help older Americans maintain their independence and avoid institutionalization.
- In 2005, 2 percent of the Medicare population aged 65 and over resided in community housing with at least one service available. Approximately 5 percent resided in long-term care facilities. The percentage of people residing in community housing with services and in long-term care facilities was higher for the older age groups; among individuals age 85 and over, 7 percent resided in community housing with services, and 17 percent resided in long-term care facilities. Among individuals age 65–74, 98 percent resided in traditional community settings.
- Among residents of community housing with services, 86 percent reported access to meal preparation services, 82 percent reported access to housekeeping/cleaning services, 70 percent reported access to laundry services, and 45 percent reported access to help with medications. These numbers reflect percentages reporting availability of specific services, but not necessarily the number that actually used these services.
- More than one-half (54 percent) of residents in community housing with services reported that there were separate charges for at least some services.
- People living in community housing with services had more functional limitations than traditional community residents, but not as many as those living in long term care facilities. Forty-six percent of individuals living in community housing with services had at least one activity of daily living (ADL) limitation compared with 26 percent of traditional community residents. Among long-term care facility residents, 82 percent had at least one ADL limitation. Forty percent of individuals living in community housing with services had no ADL or instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) limitations.
- The availability of personal services in residential settings may explain some of the observed decline in nursing home use (see “Indicator 36: Nursing Home Utilization”).
- Residents of community housing with services tended to have slightly lower incomes than traditional community residents, but higher incomes than long-term care facility residents. Twenty-two percent of residents of community housing with services had incomes of $10,000 or less in 2005, compared with 15 percent of traditional community residents and 40 percent of long-term care facility residents.
- Over one-half (52 percent) of people living in community housing with services reported they could continue living there if they needed substantial care.
Data for this indicator’s charts and bullets can be found in Tables 37a, 37b, 37c, 37d, and 37e.
Caregiving and Assistive Device Use
Possible reasons for the decline in nursing home rates (see “Indicator 36: Nursing Home Utilization”) include improvements in the health and functioning of the older population, changes in household living arrangements (e.g., the move toward assisted living and other residential care alternatives), and greater use of personal assistance and/or special equipment that help older people living in the community maintain their independence.
- Between 1992 and 2005, the age adjusted proportion of people age 65 and over who had difficulty with one or more ADLs and who did not receive personal assistance or use special equipment with these activities decreased from 42 percent to 35 percent. More people are using equipment only—the percentage increased from 28 percent to 36 percent. The percentage of people who used personal assistance only decreased from 9 percent to 7 percent.
- In 2005, nearly two-thirds (65 percent) of people who had difficulty with one or more ADLs received personal assistance or used special equipment: 7 percent received personal assistance only, 36 percent used equipment only, and 22 percent used both personal assistance and equipment.
- In 2005, more than three-fifths of people age 65 and over who had difficulty with one or more IADLs received personal assistance. The percentage of people receiving personal assistance was higher for people age 85 and over (74 percent) than it was for people age 75–84 (67 percent) or people age 65–74 (63 percent).
- There was no significant change between 1992 and 2005 in the percentage of people (in any age group) who had difficulty with one or more IADLs and who received personal assistance. Men and women were equally likely to receive assistance.

Our laboratory is interested in the pathophysiology of chronic pain. The long-term goal is to discover novel analgesics providing effective pain relief without the serious side effects of opiates. The general approach we have taken is to study the molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate the hyperexcitability of neuronal circuits involved in pain perception. Ion channels are key specialized membrane proteins expressed at the surface of neurons that control their responses and their synaptic communications. Modulation of the function of ion channels (voltage-gated or ligand-gated) is a powerful and efficient way to modulate neuronal excitability and synaptic plasticity in pain pathways. Over the years we have demonstrated the relevance of a number of important ion channels in pain or analgesia: P2X ATP-gated channels, ASIC proton-gated channels, TRPV1 capsaicin-gated channels, Nav1.8 and HCN voltage-gated ion channels (see our publications in PubMed).
Our multisciplinary research projects take advantage of several powerful techniques: molecular biology, histochemistry, pharmacology, electrophysiology, calcium imaging, transgenic models, quantitative behavioral analysis. We are currently focusing our efforts on the interrogation of specific genetically-identified peripheral and central neurons to probe their contribution to the circuits of chronic pain in vivo using optogenetics and chemogenetics. | medical |

There are a few things to consider before you choose a dentist – the location of the office, the qualifications of the dentist, the facilities, and the personality of the doctor. You need a dentist who will put your child at ease and make the whole process less stressful. You should also look for someone who is approachable, since a frightened child might be hesitant to visit a dentist.
Oral hygiene is essential for overall wellness. The health of your teeth and gums reveals a lot about your overall health. Unfortunately, most people fear the dentist. If the dentist threatens a visit, they become penitent. To prevent this from happening, you should make it a point to visit your child’s dentist at least twice a year. Make sure that your child visits a dentist that offers high-quality care and is a part of a dental practice in the Belmont area.
In addition to the skills and training needed to treat your child, a pediatric dentist should enjoy working with children. A caring dentist will go above and beyond to build a relationship with your child and create a pleasant dental experience. If you don’t build trust with a pediatric dentist, your child will likely develop dental phobia, and may not seek medical care in their adulthood. It’s important to create a dental home from an early age, because a dental home is essential for a child’s oral health.
A pediatric dentist should have a high level of training in anesthesia. Dr. Cangemi is a Diplomate of the National Dental Board of Anesthesiology and Fellow of the American Dental Society of Anesthesiology. She is a member of the Anesthesia Advisory Committee of the North Carolina Board of Dental Examiners and is a published author in dental journals and publications. She is also certified in Basic Life Support and Pediatric Advanced Life Support.
A good pediatric dentist will be able to assess the development of your child’s teeth. Your child’s primary teeth are necessary for proper jaw development and the proper placement of permanent teeth. The dentist can make many corrections while your child is still young, such as fitting a space maintainer to ensure proper placement of permanent teeth. This will help prevent costly orthodontic work down the road. However, a dentist should never let a child fall asleep with a bottle or a sippy cup.
Comprehensive oral evaluations will include teeth cleaning. A dentist will clean and polish the teeth to remove plaque and tartar and create a smooth surface. A dentist will also apply dental sealants to the teeth, which are BPA-free resins that cover crevices and prevent cavities. This is a low-cost treatment but a proven cavity-prevention solution. When applied correctly, dental sealants will protect your child’s teeth from future problems.
Choosing a pediatric dentist is also important for your child’s health and well-being. A dentist who specializes in pediatric dentistry has the knowledge and skills to provide excellent care to your child. They also use kid-friendly equipment that can be sized specifically for children. If your child is afraid of the dentist, make sure to choose a dentist who understands this concern. A dentist who specializes in pediatric dentistry will be able to show you the proper way to clean your child’s mouth. | medical |

A Few Facts and Figures about Multiple Births
Types of Twins
Basically there are two different types of twins – monozygotic or identical (MZ) and dizygotic, fraternal and non-identical (DZ).
Monozygotic twins develop when a single egg is fertilised by a single sperm and at some stage in the first two weeks the developing embryo splits in two, with the result that two, genetically identical babies develop.
Dizygotic twins occur when two eggs are released at a single ovulation and are fertilised by two different sperm. These two fertilised eggs then implant independently in the uterus. Dizygotic twins share the same type of genetic relationships as non-twin siblings, hence the term fraternal.
MZ or DZ?
Male / female twin pairs, which make up approximately 1/3 of all twins births, are obviously dizygotic. Determining zygosity of same sex pairs can be more problematic. In the past, attending physicians have often diagnosed zygosity at the time of a twin birth based on the number of placentas found, the assumption made being that once placenta indicates that the pair is monozygotic, while two placentas are a sign that the pair must be dizygotic.
If the cleavage of the embryo that produces MZ twins occurs before about the fifth day of foetal life, there will be two chorions (outer membranes), two amnions (inner membranes) and two placentas (fig. A). If cleavage occurs between the fifth and tenth day (approx.) of foetal life, there will be one chorion, two amnions; and one placenta (fig. B). About 64% of MZ twins are of this type. If cleavage occurs between the tenth and the fourteenth day of development, the twins will have one chorion, one amnion, and one placenta (fig. D), but this happens in only around 4% of MZ twin births. If cleavage occurs after the fourteenth day, there is an increased risk that the twins will be conjoined or what is often called ‘Siamese’.
All DZ twins have two chorions (fig. A), as do some MZ twins. Pairs with separate chorions are called dichorionic, and in about 42% of twins of this type, the twins implant themselves so close together in the uterus that the placentas fuse, making it appear to the naked eye that there is only a single placenta (fig. B). Thus 42% of DZ twins would appear to have only one placenta at birth, while 19% of MZ twins will have two placentas.
The number of placentas at a twin birth is therefore almost useless as a guide to whether the twins are identical or fraternal.
The most objective way to assess zygosity is to use DNA fingerprinting, that is, testing the twins’ blood or another form of physical sample, such as cheek are usually reported as a likelihood ratio of the twins being MZ versus DZ. At the moment, DNA zygosity is specialised and expensive. There are a limited number of places in Australia which offer DNA testing as a service to twins. If you would like a contact for one of these companies, you can ask your local Multiple Birth Association or contact the Australian Twin Registry. | medical |

HarmonyCon takes the safety and well-being of our attendees very seriously. In addition to following all applicable laws and regulations, we are implementing temporary policies this year to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19 during the convention. While these new policies will be enforced within the convention spaces, please note that these policies do not apply to other areas of the Sheraton. Other areas of the hotel are subject to their own rules and policies. Attendees are expected to comply with hotel staff and guidelines as well.
All policies are subject to change as conditions and official guidance continue to evolve.
These policies have been added as an extension of our Code of Conduct, which are agreed to when your badge is purchased.
Vaccination & Testing Policy
The vaccines developed and approved for inoculation against COVID-19 are some of the best tools available to limit the spread of the coronavirus. However, the vaccines are not currently approved for all populations. Rather than excluding those who cannot be vaccinated at this time, all attendees old enough to receive a FDA or WHO approved COVID-19 vaccine (currently 12 and older, though subject to change) will be required to select from one of the following two options before receiving their badge. Those too young to receive a COVID-19 vaccine must select the second option:
- Show proof of vaccination - Attendees must verify they are fully vaccinated by presenting proof of full vaccination at registration when picking up their badges, with the last shot at least 14 days prior to badge pickup. Either physical or electronic copies of documentary proof from the administering healthcare provider will be accepted (e.g., physical vaccination card, digital photo, screenshot, or QR code). Copies and photographs must include the full front of the document and must clearly show the name of the vaccinated individual and the dates of each shot. Proof of vaccination must also clearly show the vaccinated individual has received one of the vaccines approved by the FDA or WHO. Proof of prior COVID-19 infection and recovery will not be accepted as an alternative to proof of vaccination.
- Show a negative test result - NOTE THAT SOME EVENTS OR EXPERIENCES MAY BE UNAVAILABLE TO THOSE THAT ARE NOT FULLY VACCINATED. Attendees may provide a negative test result from an antigen (also known as a rapid test) or PCR (also known as a lab test) COVID-19 test taken within 3 days prior to picking up their badges at registration. Testing must be performed by a healthcare provider (including clinics and stand-alone testing sites), and full test results and the name of the tested individual must be visible. Either physical or electronic copies of test results from the health care provider will be accepted (e.g., physical test report or digital photo or screenshot). Notification SMS text messages will not be accepted as an alternative to full test results from a testing health care provider. Self-certification or at-home test results will not be accepted as an alternative to full test results from a testing health care provider.
HarmonyCon will treat all health-related information provided as confidential and will not retain copies of such information.
If any attendee is discovered to have presented a fake proof of vaccination or fake negative COVID-19 test, authorities will be alerted and the individual in question will be permanently banned from all future events.
Questions regarding this Vaccination & Testing Policy should be directed to [email protected].
Regardless of vaccination status, all attendees above 2 years of age will be required to wear masks or other face coverings at all times during the convention. Masks and other face coverings must fit snugly against the wearer, must cover all airways (e.g., must be worn over the nose), and must be consistent with CDC guidelines (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/about-face-coverings.html). As an exception to the general rule of continuous mask-wearing, attendees may temporarily remove their masks in the following situations:
- Actively eating/drinking in areas where food/beverage are allowed (Food is not allowed anywhere in event space unless purchased directly from the hotel. Non-alcoholic beverages are allowed in all event spaces.)
- Actively hosting/participating as a guest in a panel or other official event
The following types of masks and face coverings are not acceptable due to insufficient ability to reduce transmission of the coronavirus:
- Masks with exhalation valves or vents
- Face shields (without a separately compliant mask underneath)
- Costume/cosplay masks that do not meet our general mask guidance of fitting snugly and covering all airways
- Mesh masks or masks with damage or visible holes
- Neck gaiters (unless folded into two layers)
Questions regarding the mask policies or requests for accommodations due to disabilities that interfere with compliance with this Mask Policy should be directed to [email protected]. Exceptions will only be granted in accordance with CDC guidance (https://www.cdc.gov/quarantine/masks/mask-travel-guidance.html#disability-exemptions), and alternative protective measures may be required if an exception is granted.
Physical Distancing & Capacity Policy
Please be responsible and maintain ample distance from other attendees when possible, and obey all posted capacity and distancing signs and staff instructions. As conditions evolve, changes may be made to the capacity of certain events and the physical distancing requirements or recommendations.
At this point, HarmonyCon does not anticipate enforcing physical distance requirements during the convention.
Sickness Policy & Risk Acknowledgement
For the health and well-being of all attendees, please do not attend HarmonyCon 2022 if you are or have reason to believe you may be sick or infected with COVID-19. If you develop symptoms while at the convention, please self-quarantine and follow CDC guidelines for those who are or may be sick (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/if-you-are-sick/index.html). All attendees will be required to certify they do not reasonably believe themselves (and any minors for whom they are responsible during the convention) to be infected with COVID-19 when picking up their badges at registration.
Attendees will also agree to a COVID-19 Risks and Responsibilities Acknowledgement requiring the following:
- Attendees acknowledge that a risk of infection with COVID-19 is inherent and unavoidable at HarmonyCon 2022.
- Attendees agree to obey all policies, signs, and staff directions relating to health and safety.
- Attendees agree not to attend HarmonyCon 2022 if they have reason to believe they are or may be infected with COVID-19 (whether or not symptomatic), including without limitation if they have been in close contact with any individuals known to be infected within 14 days prior to start of the convention.
- Attendees agree to leave the HarmonyCon convention spaces immediately if they develop symptoms of COVID-19 or otherwise have reason to believe they are or may be infected with COVID-19. They should then leave the Sheraton DFW as soon as reasonably possible. Attendees who are guests of the Sheraton should quarantine in their rooms until they are able to leave and should notify hotel staff in order to allow the Sheraton to take appropriate precautions and perform a thorough cleaning of their rooms.
- Attendees agree to notify HarmonyCon at [email protected] if they learn they have become infected with COVID-19 at any time during the convention. Notifying attendee identity and personal information will be held in strict confidence, but HarmonyCon may notify other attendees of the occurrence of a known or suspected infection.
More information regarding COVID-19 symptoms is available from the CDC at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptomstesting/symptoms.html.
While we are sorry if you choose to not join us this year at HarmonyCon 2022, we understand that certain health and safety protocols may prevent you from attending. Requests for refunds may be sent to [email protected] until the end of January 28th, 2022. After January 28th, 2022, refunds will be handled on a case by case basis, though our best effort will be made to accommodate those unable to attend due to a possibility of infection. | medical |

However, both intrinsic and acquired mechanisms of resistance to aminoglycosides have occurred. Aminoglycoside resistance among gram-negative organisms can occur through acquisition or upregulation of genes that encode inactivating enzymes or efflux systems. The resistance of gram-negative organisms to aminoglycosides occurs by two major mechanisms: Bacterial production of inactivating enzymes.
Methylation of 16S ribosomal RNA. This effect is mediated by an enzyme encoded by the rmtA gene and has been associated with high-level resistance to all parenteral aminoglycosides in current use.
Binding to the aminoacyl site on 16S ribosomal RNA is the mechanism by which aminoglycosides normally interfere with protein synthesis.
Enterococci are intrinsically resistant to low to moderate levels of aminoglycosides. However, the potential for synergy exists when enterococci with low-level resistance to an aminoglycoside are exposed to a combination of the aminoglycoside with a cell wall active agent, such as penicillin or vancomycin.
The significance of such high-level resistance is that it eliminates the synergism expected between an aminoglycoside and a cell wall active agent. Different genetic mutations are responsible for high-level resistance to different aminoglycosides. While cross-resistance between the specific aminoglycoside agents does occur, it is incomplete.
Therefore, individual agents should be tested for susceptibility against the isolated pathogen whenever possible. Dose adjustments need to be made in a variety of special populations. Renal Impaired Patients Peritoneal dialysis Gentamicin and tobramycin are frequently used for empiric treatment of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis CAPD related peritonitis.
Patients Acc 206 week 1 dq 2 systemic illness may receive an intravenous loading dose. Therefore, patients undergoing intermittent hemodialysis generally require supplemental doses of gentamicin or tobramycin after each dialysis depending on the time lapsed after the first dose and characteristics of the dialysis delivered.
Continuous AV hemofiltration Similar to that observed in patients with intermittent hemodialysis, significant inter-patient variability exists among patients undergoing continuous arteriovenous AV hemofiltration. Empiric initial daily gentamicin or tobramycin doses of 2.
Cystic Fibrosis Patients Both the volume of distribution and clearance of aminoglycosides are greatly increased in patients with cystic fibrosis, necessitating higher starting doses with both traditional intermittent and extended-interval dosing to achieve target serum concentrations.
Burn Patients Patients with significant burns may exhibit larger volumes of distribution when compared with most patient populations.
As a result, larger maintenance doses of gentamicin and tobramycin per day in divided doses may be needed to attain therapeutic serum aminoglycoside concentrations. Serum concentration monitoring and individualized dosing correlates with survival in this patient population.
Septic Patients Septic patients undergoing aggressive fluid resuscitation in the setting of resolving or evolving acute renal failure often warrant especially close monitoring.
Some suggest individualized monitoring for such patients. Peak concentrations of aminoglycosides may be affected by high volumes of intravenous fluids or extravascular fluid shifts, requiring adjustments in the determination of pharmacokinetic parameters such as volume of distribution.
Reduced muscle mass and the resulting reductions in serum creatinine concentration in the elderly may result in overestimation of renal function when formulas such as the Cockcroft-Gault equation are utilized.
Therefore, a relatively normal serum creatinine may be associated with a substantial loss of renal function in this patient population. Synergy for Gram-Positive Infections Lower concentrations of aminoglycosides are targeted when used in combination with other agents to treat serious gram-positive infections, whether traditional intermittent or extended-interval dosing intervals are used.
Ideal body weight IBW also may be used to determine doses for patients who are neither underweight nor obese. Hepatic Impairment No dosage adjustment for aminoglycosides is necessary since they do not undergo hepatic metabolism. Administration Administer by intermittent infusion over 30 to 60 minutes.
Higher doses are generally administered over 60 minutes. Flush line with appropriate solution both before and after administration of the aminoglycoside.
Inject deep IM into large muscle mass, e. The first steps in aminoglycoside administration include determination of the dosing weight and estimation of renal function.
Parenteral aminoglycosides can be administered using a traditional intermittent dosing strategy which uses smaller doses given several times each day or an extended-interval dosing strategy which uses high doses administered at an extended interval. These two strategies have comparable efficacy and safety.
High dose extended-interval administration takes advantage of the pharmacodynamic properties of aminoglycosides and offers greater ease of preparation, administration and monitoring. For most patients with suspected or documented moderate to severe infections due to gram-negative aerobic bacteria in whom an aminoglycoside is being used and who are expected to exhibit more predictable aminoglycoside pharmacokinetics, extended-interval rather than traditional intermittent dosing is preferred.
Certain patient groups may exhibit altered aminoglycoside pharmacokinetics that could render extended-interval dosing less useful or effective.SOC SOC Week 3 Quiz ANSWERS.

One of the benefits of CBD oil is that it relieves pain and inflammation. Some people believe that it offers a more natural alternative to over-the-counter medicine, and researchers suggest that the non-psychoactive compounds in CBD could provide a new treatment for chronic pain.
A 2012 study published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine found that CBD significantly reduced pain and chronic inflammation in some rats and mice.
in 2018, the FDA approved the use of CBD as therapy for two conditions characterized by epileptic seizures, namely Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) and Dravet syndrome (DS), after researching the safety and effectiveness of CBD oil.
This means that in the United States, a doctor can prescribe CBD for both of these conditions, as the type of seizures that characterize them are very difficult to control by other medicines.
Although doctors often advise people with chronic anxiety to completely avoid cannabis, SDHC can amplify their feelings of paranoia or anxiousness, the authors of a review from Neurotherapeutics found that CBD may actually be very helpful in reducing anxiety people with certain disorders.
According to this review, CBD may be able to reduce anxiety-related behaviors in people who suffer from conditions such as:
A 2014 study published by the Journal of Clinical Investigation found that CBD may be able to prevent the development of social recognition deficit participants. This means that CBD may be able to help people that are in the early stages of Alzheimer’s to maintain their ability to recognize familiar people and faces.
Researchers believe that CBD oil may help to combat cancer. A 2012 review published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology found that CBD can significantly help to prevent the spread of cancer in patients.
Studies suggest that CBD oil can help to relieve pain from arthritis, which affects more than 50 million people in the United States alone. CBD can help to relieve pain and inflammation associated with arthritis and is considered to be a safe treatment.
Animal and test-tube studies have shown that CBD may decrease inflammation and help prevent the neurodegeneration associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers also found that it helped prevent cognitive decline in mice genetically predisposed to Alzheimer’s disease.
Although research is limited as a treatment for a migraine, a 2017 study published in Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research found that CBD oil may help all forms of chronic pain, including a migraine. This was done with a study including 26 people over the course of six months.
Researchers believe that CBD has the ability to act on the endocannabinoid system and other brain signalling systems which can result in benefits for people with neurological disorders. One study found that Sativex reduced spasms in 75% of 276 people with multiple sclerosis who were experiencing muscle spasticity that was resistant to medications.
Huntington’s disease is a fatal genetic condition that causes seizures and a progressive loss of neurological function. Experimental evidence has found antioxidant and neuroprotective effects of CBD, which may be helpful in preventing the destruction of neurons in Huntington’s disease.
Several studies have shown that treatment with CBD improved quality of life and sleep quality for people with Parkinson’s disease. Although there are various studies suggesting the benefits of CBD for Parkinson’s disease, more research is needed to confirm this.
CBD oil has a list of other health benefits to offer, including suppressing hunger, making skin healthier, and promoting a healthy cardiovascular system.
Recent studies have shown that CBD oil can help with cardiac health and the circulatory system. CBD oil can also help to reduce blood pressure, which is linked to heart failure, and metabolic syndrome.
Studies have shown that CBD oil may be able to reduce glaucoma, a common eye condition that often causes optical nerve damage and, in some cases, blindness. Studies suggest that several cannabinoids including CBD may be good candidates to develop as therapeutic agents as they are very well tolerated.
A 2018 study has found that using CBD for substance addiction helps to prevent relapses. In the study, researchers administered transdermal CBD to animal subjects who had a history of self-administering cocaine or alcohol and exhibited characteristics of a relapsing addict such as dependency, anxiety, and impulsivity. They found that CBD prevented relapses even after it had cleared the brain for three days.
Studies also indicate that CBD oil may help patients who suffer from diabetes, as it can help to relieve oxidative stress and prevent heart damage, according to a 2010 study.
The interest in CBD, or cannabidiol, has never been higher. But what exactly is CBD? To get down to basics, CBD is an all-natural compound derived from the cannabis plant’s resinous flowers. While it’s one of over a hundred other compounds produced within the therapeutically versatile plant, CBD is now the subject of extensive scientific research to explore its health and wellness potential.
CBD works within the body primarily by reacting with the endocannabinoid system, a network of receptors and internally-produced cannabinoid-like substances. The endocannabinoid system plays a vital role in regulating a wide range of physiological functions including appetite, immunity, memory, sleep, and more.
A healthy endocannabinoid system is essential for maintaining internal homeostasis, and when it’s off balance, you may experience issues with mood, blood pressure, digestion, and a host of other matters. Its receptors are active throughout the nervous system and the entire body, and multiple studies suggest CBD reacts with these receptors to help regulate its related functions.
CBD shouldn’t be confused with another well-known phytocannabinoid, THC, as the two compounds interreact with receptors in very different ways. THC is the cannabis compound that causes the intoxicating “high” commonly associated with cannabis. CBD, on the other hand, is not psychotropic and delivers a mellowing mood lift without any distracting psychoactive effects.
By reinforcing a healthy endocannabinoid system, safe, non-addicting CBD may promote mental acuity, improved mood, and a clear mind, among a host of other wellness benefits.
The cannabis plants used to make CBD products are classified as industrial hemp, with a THC content of less than .3 percent. The 2018 Farm Bill officially identifies industrial hemp as a legal agricultural commodity, and CBD is now legal to grow and distribute in all 50 states.
In high doses, CBD could affect the way the body metabolizes certain compounds, and therefore may increase the effects of some medications, necessitating an adjustment in dosage. While dosage will vary based on the individual and desired effect, a 2006 study in the Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research determined that CBD was generally safe in low to high doses taken by healthy and epileptic subjects.
Research on CBD’s possible benefits is ongoing, and studies already suggest that the compound may potentially offer considerable relief for a wide variety of common issues.
According to a survey in The Journal of Headache and Pain, chronic pain is the most common reason Americans have tried wellness products derived from cannabis. Persistent issues like inflammation can impact the quality of life and contribute to serious illnesses. In 2012, the Journal of Experimental Medicine reported that CBD treatment suppressed chronic inflammation and neuropathic pain in lab rats and mice. Other recent studies have also explored CBD’s potential for the treatment of inflammation, high blood pressure, and more.
In 2018, the FDA approved the use of CBD to treat two forms of epilepsy. A review by Neurotherapeutics also examines the compound’s potential to offer relief for individuals suffering from a variety of anxiety disorders.

There are times when you as a pregnant mother feels ecstatic but there are times when you feel low because of the changes that your body experiences. However, nothing beats the happiness you feel knowing that you will see your baby after 40 weeks. In order to have a healthy baby, you also need to stay fit and healthy. These are some of the helpful tips you need on how to stay a healthy momma while you’re on your pregnancy journey.
1. See your doctor regularly.
Going to your doctor for checkups on a regular basis is important. From the moment you find out you’re pregnant, it’s best to get prenatal care as soon as possible. You can schedule an appointment with your doctor to receive the medical you and your baby need. Be sure to keep track of your appointments to avoid missing one. You can try creating a pregnancy journal to take note of all your doctor’s advice and your following checkups.
This Expecting You journal from Hanna Andersson doubles as a pregnancy journal and a keepsake. Get it for $14.95 at Hanna Andersson.
2. Eat right.
When you’re pregnant, you’re eating for two. Therefore, you cannot just eat anything you want. You have to be conscious of your diet to ensure that you and your baby are getting the right nutrition. You can include more fruits and vegetables in your diet. You can also include carbohydrates such as bread, rice, and pasta. For protein, stick to healthy meats such as chicken and fish. Shop for healthier food options here:
3. Take your supplements.
Pregnant mothers need additional supplements for them and their babies. Consult with your doctor to know what type of supplements you need. You may be advised to take fish oil supplements, Vitamin D, Calcium, Folic Acid, Iron, and Multivitamins to keep you and your child healthy. Be sure to follow doctor’s advice before taking any medication or other food supplements. You can shop for them below:
1. Caltrate 600+D3 Calcium and Vitamin D Supplement, $10.17 at Amazon | 2. Nature Made Multi Prenatal Tablets Rich in Folic Acid, Iron & Zinc, $18.52 at Amazon | 3. Omega 3 for Women, Pure Sea Harvested Pelagic Fish Oil, $13.97 at Amazon
4. Keep away from unsanitary foods.
There are several types of food that pregnant women must avoid. They pose a health risk for you and your baby. These foods include undercooked meat, raw fish, raw shellfish, undercooked meals, sunny side up eggs, unpasteurized milk, unwashed fruits and vegetables, and more. Try your best to avoid these to keep you and your baby away from illnesses such as salmonella, listeriosis, and toxoplasmosis.
It’s always best to keep yourself hydrated. Always bring a water bottle with you to keep your body cool. Staying hydrated will help you fuel your body whenever you need to.
This Klean Kanteen Classic Stainless Steel Water Bottle is all you need to keep you hydrated for the day. Purchase it for $21 at Urban Outfitters.
6. Do some exercises.
It’s also advisable to do some exercise during your pregnancy. However, you need to consult your doctor first before participating in any type of exercise regimen. Some of the most common exercises that pregnant women do are brisk walking, swimming, pilates, yoga, and aquanatal classes. You can try doing some simple breathing and yoga exercises at home.
Get a yoga mat and do exercises in the living room or your bedroom, wherever you feel comfortable. You can purchase this Yeti Yoga Dora Jungle Yoga Mat for $60 at ShopBop.com.
7. Get plenty of sleep and relaxation.
Lastly, it’s important to get enough sleep. Sleep allows your body to recharge and rest. It’s a great way to relieve you from stress and fatigue. You can also try to pamper yourself. Get a foot massage or treat yourself to a spa. However, consult your doctor and ask for advice on what type of massages and treatments you’re allowed to have. To get a good night’s sleep, try using a pregnancy pillow.
Try the Boyban E-Shaped Pregnancy Pillow to help you get more comfortable while sleeping. It provides support for pregnant women using its flexible design. Grab it for $31.75 at Walmart.
Learning how to stay a healthy momma is beneficial for you and your baby. It prevents you as well as your baby from having pregnancy complications. Enjoy your pregnancy by staying positive and healthy.

As we celebrate Doctor's Day, it is crucial to recognize the profound connection between nature and well-being. Planting trees on this special occasion not only pays homage to healthcare professionals but also symbolizes the essential role trees play in healing our planet and nurturing healthier communities.
The Healing Power of Trees: Trees have a remarkable ability to improve our physical and mental well-being. They serve as nature's air purifiers, filtering harmful pollutants and replenishing the atmosphere with oxygen.
By reducing air pollution, trees directly contribute to respiratory health, preventing respiratory ailments and improving overall lung function.
Beyond the tangible benefits, trees have a calming effect on our minds. Research has shown that spending time in green spaces can reduce stress, anxiety, and even accelerate healing processes.
The presence of trees in healthcare facilities and surrounding neighborhoods creates a soothing environment that promotes recovery and rejuvenation.
Planting Seeds of Hope: By planting trees on Doctor's Day, we plant seeds of hope and resilience. Each tree serves as a living testament to the healing power of nature, reminding us that healthcare extends beyond hospitals and clinics. It encompasses our environment, the air we breathe, and the communities we inhabit.
Additionally, tree plantation aligns with the principles of preventive healthcare. By addressing environmental issues, such as air pollution and climate change, at their roots, we take proactive steps to prevent future health risks. It is a holistic approach that combines the efforts of medical professionals and environmentalists to safeguard the well-being of current and future generations.
Get Involved: Planting Trees for a Healthier Future
Organize Tree Plantation Drives: Collaborate with local healthcare institutions, community organizations, and environmental groups to organize tree plantation drives on Doctor's Day. Engage doctors, healthcare professionals, and volunteers to actively participate in the initiative.
Greening Healthcare Facilities: Advocate for the integration of green spaces and tree planting initiatives within healthcare facilities. Encourage hospitals to create healing gardens, rooftop gardens, and indoor plant installations to enhance the well-being of patients, staff, and visitors.
Education and Awareness: Promote awareness about the importance of tree plantation for health by organizing workshops, seminars, and awareness campaigns. Educate the public, patients, and healthcare professionals about the numerous benefits of trees and inspire them to take action.
On Doctor's Day, let us embrace the healing power of trees and acknowledge their vital role in promoting health and well-being. By planting trees, we honor the dedication and compassion of healthcare professionals while recognizing the symbiotic relationship between nature and human health.
Let us join hands in creating a greener and healthier future, where doctors and trees work hand in hand to nurture and heal our world. | medical |
https://smart81.io/alcohol-tremors-explained-alcohol-shakes-what-they/ | 2023-12-07T00:57:58 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100626.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231206230347-20231207020347-00225.warc.gz | 0.955013 | 1,077 | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-50__0__316072062 | en | Surgical procedures may be performed when tremor does not respond to medications or severely impacts daily life. Generally, tremor is caused by a problem in the parts of the brain that control movements. Most types have no known genetic cause, although there are some forms that appear to be inherited and run in families. In the below video, our medical director, Dr. Calarco, explains how alcohol can cause shakes and tremors. The severity of your tremors may stay relatively the same or may get worse over time.
Your healthcare provider is the best person to tell you what side effects or complications are possible in your specific situation, and what you can do to manage or avoid them. If you suffer from essential tremor and are looking for an effective solution, check out Cala Trio therapy. The first-in-class Cala Trio therapy offers individualized alcohol and essential tremor treatment for hand tremors with a wrist-worn device that sends electrical stimulation to nerves in the wrist. This stimulation is believed to help with tremors by disrupting the network activity that causes them. The therapy is calibrated for your specific tremor and is part of an essential tremor treatment plan to help you manage symptoms.
Diagnostic imaging may help determine if the tremor is the result of damage in the brain. An electromyogram, which measures involuntary muscle activity and muscle response to nerve stimulation, may identify muscle or nerve problems. Some research suggests that people with essential tremor have a higher risk of developing Parkinson’s disease or sensory problems, like a loss of smell or hearing. However, these associations are still being investigated. Surgery is performed when other treatments fail to provide relief.
- Additionally, NINDS scientists are researching the impact of genetic changes on the development of essential tremor.
- Extremes in temperature may also make the tremor more severe.
- However, as with Inderal, a percentage of people may develop tolerance to the treatment after about a year.
It also may affect a person’s head, voice, or lower limbs. Although the tremor can start at any age, it most often first appears during adolescence or in middle age (between ages 40 and 50). It can be mild and stay mild, or slowly get worse over time. Essential tremor is often mistaken for Parkinson’s disease, but the two conditions differ in several ways. Essential tremor is an action tremor, meaning that the involuntary shaking increases when you move and try to use your hands. In Parkinson’s disease, tremors occur mainly at rest, and activity reduces the symptoms.
There are two main surgical procedures that may be considered – thalamotomy and thalamic deep brain stimulation. This is a deep part of the brain that organises messages travelling between the body and brain. Essential tremor is known to be familial condition, meaning that it runs in families. At least 5-7 out of 10 people with essential tremor have other members of the family with the same condition. Genes are passed on to a child from each parent and determine what we look like, how our body functions and even what diseases we get. Particular genes have been shown to have certain changes present in families with essential tremor.
It’s essential to seek medical attention to ensure the issue is unrelated to DTs. Experts use gabapentin (Neurontin) for short-term treatment of Essential Tremor affecting the hands, although it is not known how the drug works. In most cases, it is not used in conjunction with other drugs.
How does essential tremor affect my body?
Experts don’t know exactly why essential tremor happens or if there are triggers that cause them to happen. However, there’s evidence that it happens because of the changes in certain parts of your brain. For severe tremors, a stimulating device (deep brain stimulator) surgically implanted in your brain may help. Gabapentin and topiramate are two other anti-seizure medicines that are sometimes prescribed for essential tremor. In some cases, benzodiazepines such as alprazolam or clonazepam might be suggested.
The tremor is identified as an isolated postural or kinetic tremor if it has been present for less than three years. No signs of other neurologic disease such as dystonia, ataxia, or parkinsonism are allowed to be designated as essential tremor. Essential tremor is also called familial essential tremor. It can sometimes become quite severe so that everyday activities like holding a cup can be difficult.
This condition isn’t dangerous but can become severe enough to disrupt everyday activities. There are multiple ways to treat this condition, most of which aren’t necessary until you’ve had the condition for several years. Essential tremor is most common among people older than 65, but it can affect people at any age. If you opt for outpatient treatment, you’ll likely be given sedative drugs to take at home to ease withdrawal symptoms and have to get routine blood tests to make sure you’re staying on track. You may also need to get tested for other medical problems that could be connected to your alcohol abuse. | medical |

Those who experience emetophobia may also fear being out of control while they are being sick or fear being sick in public, which can trigger avoidance behaviours. It is a condition that is not widely diagnosed even though it is a fairly prevalent anxiety disorder., It is more common for women to have a fear of vomiting than men. An estimated 1.7-3.1% of males and 6-7% of females experience emetophobia.
Emetophobia varies enormously in how it effects people; most worry excessively about being sick even though they are less likely than the general population to be sick because of all the steps they take to avoid being ill. For instance, some people may be unable to leave home if there are any tummy bugs going around and they will avoid family and friends who have an illness. (SOURCE: WWW.AnxietyUK.co.uk)
My Emetophobia stems from when I was seven and I had a sickness and diarrhoea bug and I was sick over myself and when I coughed or sneezed I messed myself and having my mum clean me up which despite my mum having the patience of a saint, frustrated both of us.
Being disabled meant I needed help getting on and off the toilet and whilst I could crawl to the bathroom I couldn’t get there in time resulting in me feeling deeply ashamed.
Since then every time I’ve had a stomach bug or diarrhoea I end up really tearful and anxious. When I was 20 I had a stomach bug whilst my mum was at work I messed myself and needed my Nan to clean me up. Embarrassing right?
Ever since I was seven I’ve done lots of things to prevent myself being sick or diarrhoea:
- I tell my Carers not to talk about if they’ve had a bug in front of me because it causes anxiety.
- I don’t eat from certain restaurants or takeaways
- I take anti sickness tablets when needed
- When I feel ill or sick I won’t eat until it’s passed.
- I check the side effects of any meds I take and won’t take them if they cause sickness or diarrhoea.
- Once I’ve been to the toilet I wipe really hard to make sure I’m clean especially if I have a bad tummy because it makes me feel dirty.
- If I’m going on holiday I’ll avoid trigger foods so I’m not ill abroad.
- If I see my mum or anyone cooking I have to ask if their ingredients are in date (even though I know they wouldn’t use bad ingredients deliberately)
The reason I’m writing this is so people know they are not alone in battling with this anxious trigger. I also want people to recognise it is a real disorder and it affects a lot of people. it’s even been recognised by The Speakmans on This Morning. | medical |

High quality service, friendly and professional
I've been going to Arc of Life Spinal Care for 4 months now and truly believe it has changed my everyday life! My body is riddled with auto immune diseases and arthritis I was barely functioning, everyday was a huge struggle! However, with the professional care of Dr's. Drew and Kanema Clark I'm functioning so much better. I've been able to actually get 8 hours of sleep at night, (which is a huge plus, as I was only getting approximately 2-3 hours prior), I'm able to go from a sit to stand position, walk, read and concentrate much easier as well as my my pain level has gone down significantly. Finding Arc of Life has been a Godsent to me physically, mentally and spiritually. I highly recommend everyone call and make an appointment to attend a seminar educating yourselves on how important it is for your body and your children's bodies to be aligned properly to prevent sickness and disease to get in. The office is professional, compassionate, friendly and the highest quality of care is provided.
My goal with the care of Dr's Drew and Kanema is to be able to give my brain, nervous system and body a better chance to heal and function naturally with a properly aligned spine and eventually be able to eliminate the many toxic medications I've been taking to control my diseases. Thank you Dr's. Drew and Kanema Clark for educating me on this course of care. I truly believe my health is improving and I'm seeing light at the end of the tunnel that I've been trapped in. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😊

Way above my expectations
I've been to chiropractors before and because of my early childhood injury none of the chiropractors could do anything for me. But this new family that I found at Arc Of Life each and everyone treats me personally and with dignity and I just want to say thank God that we found each other.
- Joanne .
Arc of Life is a one of a kind office. They are like family there. Everyone remembers your name and they always work with your schedule and make sure you have a good experience. I am so thankful for their help in my health and for encouraging me everyday!

Fabulous Presentation on how to become healthy
Dr Drew Clark gives a fabulous review of the reasons current medicine is increasing in cost while America gets more unhealthy. He discusses the roots causes and how to address them so that we aren't "surprised" in in life by health problems that might have been avoidable with the proper health care approach. This is the right place for people who want to proactively remain truly healthy throughout their lives.

Family Friendly Spinal Care
For my first visit, I came alone with my 2 children under 3 years old. The staff was understanding of their missed nap behavior and their needs, and was also helpful in keeping an eye on them while I was being taken care of. It is rare that such a need would exist, as I normally wouldn't attempt such a trip alone, but I needed the appointment and had no other options that day.
Beside their openness to my kids, they were also very kind in general, and had a refreshingly happy disposition. I don't see that much in healthcare nowadays, and it was very welcoming.
They then thoroughly explained their practice, the findings of my scan, and offered me the best solution for my issues.
It was specific, direct, and purposeful. I look forward to correcting my back and improving my quality of life, here at Arc of Life! A big thank you to all of those involved!
- Jordan .
Very informative and caring professionals
I learned so much about my spine and am blessed by this Godly couple and their business. I had a free evaluation and appreciate the time spent with me and the explanation on how their services can help me.

scared to go to a chiropractor
My daughter talked me into going! I had carpal tunnel of my right hand and it was completely numb I could hardly hold a pen. I was diagnosed by a neurologist and he recommended surgery. I was afraid to see a chiropractor as I also have osteoporosis and was afraid he would break me....After 2 gentle adjustment the nerve in my neck to ran to my had wasn't pinched and I regained feeling in my hand!
Coincidentally I also had post nasal drip and a nagging cough for years that the many ENT Drs. just put me on allergy medicine..After Dr. Clark adjusted my neck my sinuses drained and I dont cough anymore!!!
It is a relief to have these symptoms gone and I feel so much better.
- Melody .
Caring and professional. The healing room is a restful and restorative bonus. I actually look forward to getting a treatment. I also like the computerized images that allow me to see progress. I have improved with only a few visits.

Upper cervical care Chiropractic Blessing from The Lord
I can not begin to say enough about Dr. Drew and Dr. Kadema - two of the most beautiful people I've met in my life. The love, kindness, professionalism and care for others is truly a Blessings. My body has changed so much since starting treatment it is amazing...I feel body parts that were starting to feel numbness, I no longer have the sciatica pain nor do I throw my back out like I used to! It does take a while for the adjustments to "stick" but well worth it after a few months when they do! This is definitely more than just a chiropractor office, this is extended family - such warm loving caring Dr.'s.
Initially I went to them when I experienced a dizzy spell - I have not had another episode of dizziness - also, I messed up a knee the year before and the side effect of treatment, I no longer have issues with my knee and I an see my knee cap (haven't seen it in a few years....I've lost weight without doing anything - proof that when the blood is in full communication with your body parts and organs, it is a "natural" healing.
May God continue to Bless these two as they continue their calling in life.

Arc of Life provides a very comprehensive assessment and treatment plan to maximize healing. Having suffered from jugular vein damage, brain stem damage and significant atlas misalignment for over a decade due to a serious injury, this form of chiropractic care is my primary treatment modality. Dr Drew and Dr. Kanema Clark constantly assess and adjust my treatment plan to provide me with the best possible outcome. I am very fortunate that I found them and can benefit from their knowledge, professional application of their skills and compassionate approach to people in need.
- Dave .
I was very satisfied with my first visit.
Everything was explained to me.
- Rita c .
Looking forward to better health!
What a great experience. The Doctors are very informative and comforting. They have a great balance in their office of being professional and yet down to earth. I am glad to know they are faith inspired!
- Susan .
Wished it wasn't so late at night. It was ok & I really hope it works & will help other problems I have. I will recommend to others if I see results in myself.
- Linda .
Took care of me
Knowing time was short for me, they quickly organized my assessment and treatment and had me out of the office with time to spare.
I'm a person who wants things to happen in a hurry and so I get frustrated by the slowness of my healing process (my body has been beaten and battered over the years.) It was good to see I am slowly making progress and this has been a good investment in my health.
- Pauline .
Always great friendly service with a very professional doctor who gives a better quality of life .
I always feel so much better after my appointment. My body is reset.
I would highly recommend Dr. Clark and his staff.

ARC of life Spinal Care
I have been going to ARC since May of 2015.
I was told by surgeons that I needed both back and neck surgery, because of all the ruptured discs.
I went to Ladies Night with a Neighbor and since I had researched NUCCA chiropractic prior I knew I wanted to try this type of Chiropractic since for my other ailment so many people had awesome lunch with it.
In Minnesota where I use to live there wasn't one anywhere near me.
I started with my legs being altered by 49 lbs and now my body is level and I continue to go to make sure I am still in complete alignment to continue to heal by staying in alignment

I have been having chiropractic adjustments for 2 years. I have been going to Arc of Life for 2 1/2 months. The difference with Arc of Life is amazing. They are so warm and caring. I love how they are so community oriented and bring faith and love into the treatments. I love the healing room-- I feel so much better mentally when I leave. My issues are long standing so my healing won't be overnight but I know I am in good hands.
- Michelle .
My recent appointment
Today was my first adjustment and it was a terrific experience. Dr Kanema was very thorough going over the X-rays and the costs involved with the treatment. I was very satisfied with the payment options provided. And Dr Drew was great at explaining the process of all he did from beginning to end. I thank God for arranging our meeting so that I can get better healthcare for the rest of my life.

The morning after my first adjustment my sinuses drained I didn't expect this but was amazed at the effect!
- Melody .
Professional and educational
Dr. Clark is not only knowledgeable but has passion for what he does. He genuinely cares about his patients and understands there need for care. I have not only been adjusted, but also educated on how to take care of myself physically and internally and that is not something all chiropractors provide.
- Francheska .
Professional, friendly, and Godly
I was very impressed with Arc of Life Family Spinal Care. From the moment I walked in, I felt very welcomed. Everyone is very friendly, and the office is very clean. I enjoyed that Dr. Kanema gave me information to read while I was waiting so that I had a better understanding of what we would be talking about. She was very friendly, and I felt comfortable through out my appointment. I hope to be able to work with them on being a better me!

- Karolynn .
Outstanding Service and Knowledge
As always, Dr Drew did a professional re asseement since last visit, explained the readings, and got me in and out.
As we're not being treated for any special symptom.. and never are with the holistic treatment.. can't say I came in"bad" and went out "better" due to pain, etc.
Just great body maintenance.
- Joseph .
My health has improved tremendously. Thanks for the ❤
- Papa J .
Excellent communication, educational, wonderful doctors and staff
I have been suffering with crippling headaches for years. I was lucky enough to find these fantastic and caring doctors at the 4th of July celebration in Bonita. I made my appointment and was amazed at how warm and welcoming everyone in this office is. The level of care FAR surpasses any I have ever received from any physician in my life. They not only strive to make you pain free but they educate you all along the way so you are informed on what the causes and solutions are. Highly recommend Arc of Life!
- Karolynn .
We are newly part of the Arc of Life family and think this office is amazing
- Danielle .
warm, comfortable, professional
All of the above is frosting on the cake and I love being in their extremely
positive atmosphere but what is imperative is that the treatment is effective!!!!! Dr. Drew is the whole package, he knows his stuff and has the best possible personality. I appreciate his authenticity.
- Ruth Ann .
High quality and personal service
My visit to the Arc of Life Center was very welcoming. I was greeted by my doctor and I felt very comfortable because of the time Dr. Clark took to explain each procedure to me in an unhurried manner. I'm looking forward to my next visit.
- Yvette S
Complete relief is possible. only treating upper cervical allows your body to heal from head to toe. No more pain killers or back supports. You cannot give a review from just visiting or watching video. For complete pain and symptom recovery please seek out an upper cervical DR. Near you. I have been a patient for 5 months and will continue to tell everyone about this experience.
- Joe .
An exceptional experience
Visiting the Arc of Life Family Spinal Care was indeed an experience with a difference. I was thrilled to receive the kind of treatment that I was not at all expecting.
The initial session was very informative and educational, the treatment was different, and the first line contact with the Clinic epitomized all of the expectations of Customer Care. I saw and felt it at work by the caring staff.
The Clinic itself was attractively decorated with a view to giving recognition to the culture of its Irish Clientelle. It was awesome I am sure that all visitors to this Clinic would admit to a comfortable and relaxed environment.
- Nola .
Always look forward to my appointments!
Dr. Clark and his staff are top drawer. Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care has given me my life back. We are beyond grateful!
I wish everyone would make an appointment for their evaluation.
My rating is 5 star X infinity!

- Nancy .

From the moment a patient walks thru the door, it is a positive, uplifting experience. Daniel is the perfect person on the front desk, cheerful, competent, & professional. He is a joy and a blessing to the office.
Dr. Clark, perfection!!! Of course he treats many of the course of the day but some how manages to make us each feel we are important. The difference UCCC has made for me can not be measured. It has saved my life!

This reduces swelling of inflamed and irritated/pinched spinal nerves that reach legs, arms, or other parts of the body in order to relieve pain and restore function.
Cervical epidural steroid injections are performed to relieve chronic pain from inflamed and irritated/pinched spinal nerves in the neck that radiates into the shoulder, arm and/or hand. This kind of pain is referred to as cervical radiculopathy.
Thoracic epidural steroid injections are performed to relieve chronic pain from inflamed and irritated/pinched spinal nerves in the upper or mid back that radiates to the chest wall or abdomen. This kind of pain is uncommon and is referred to as thoracic radiculopathy.
Lumbar epidural steroid injections are performed to relieve chronic pain from irritated/pinched spinal nerves in the lower back that radiates into the hip, leg and/or foot. This kind of pain is referred to as lumbar radiculopathy It is also commonly referred to as sciatica, because the spinal nerves that make up the sciatic nerve are often involved.
Caudal epidural steroid injections are performed to relieve chronic pain from inflamed and irritated/pinched spinal nerves in the
This injection is completed from either the left or the right side of the spine where the nerve exits the spine. Putting anti-inflammatory medication near the source of the inflamed nerves can help reduce the pain.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and for some patients, with intravenous sedation. Fluoroscopy, a type of x-ray, will be used to guide the needle between the bony vertebrae into the epidural space. When the needle is correctly positioned the anesthetic and corticosteroid medications are injected into the epidural space around the nerve roots.
It generally takes 3-5 days before the steroid that was injected causes a reduction in your pain. You may return to your everyday activities and work the day after your injection. Many patients experience significant pain relief. For those experiencing only mild pain relief, one or two more injections may be performed to achieve full effect. The duration of pain relief varies from patient to patient, usually lasting for 3 months or more.
As with any procedure involving a needle, there is a rare chance of infection, bleeding, allergic reaction and nerve damage. Complications are extremely rare. Talk with your provider if you have specific questions about the risk of your procedure.
Dress in loose, comfortable clothing, and leave jewelry and other valuables at home.
You must have a driver to take you home after the procedure.
If you are scheduled to be sedated, you must fast for 8 hours before the procedure.
If you take medications for high blood pressure or any kind of heart condition, please take your medications as normal with a small sip of water.
If you take aspirin or any blood thinning medication you will need to stop taking it for 2-7 days before your procedure. Discuss the risks involved with the physician who prescribes your blood thinner. Restart the blood thinner the day after your procedure.
The procedure takes anywhere from 10-20 minutes.
The procedure will be done in our procedure room with the use of a fluoroscopy (x-ray) machine.
Yes, the injection can be repeated. 3-4 injections per year is typical.
If you are not currently a patient of Arkansas Pain Specialists, you will need a consultation visit first. If you are a current patient, please speak to your provider about scheduling your procedure. | medical |

Among the most frequent causes of this dermatological alteration are genetic predisposition (responsible for androgenetic alopecia), anemia, immunological diseases (which causes alopecia areata), medical treatments or thyroid disorders. Vitamin deficiency and sustained stress over time, obesity and diets with a high fat content also influence the thinning and loss of hair follicles, according to the latest studies. What can we do to stop baldness? The first thing is to go to the trichologist dermatologist, a specialist in the treatment and repair of the scalp, to find the cause of hair loss, and decide on the personalized treatment based on the diagnosis. The key to a definitive treatment against baldness is choosing the right hair clinic. And here, the most important thing is to identify which professional and which technique will best suit our needs. | medical |

The great thing about the web is you can find pretty much anything online, including online hearing tests.
COVID-19 has transformed how we work and connect with friends and family. Many of us are now working from home and have become reliant on online services such as Zoom or Skype for staff meetings. Consequently, you may be one of many people who have realised that you can no longer rely on lip-reading when you’re speaking to people in your office.
What causes hearing difficulties?
There are a number of reasons that you might lose your hearing. You might also be someone who suffers from Tinnitus. Tinnitus is the very annoying buzzing or ringing in the ears. It makes life uber stressful when you are trying to concentrate yet all you can hear is high pitched ringing!
Embarrassment or loss of status (essentially the same reasons for not getting any medical check!) usually prevent us from seeking help. Ultimately, you have to weigh up if it is worth throwing away your career potential or isolation from friends and family because you are too embarrassed to seek help.
How is your hearing tested?
For those who are not ready to admit to experiencing hearing loss, you can test your hearing online. Here is a list of free online hearing tests. You will need headphones to do the tests properly:
1. Amplifon.com: the test takes you through six different (noisy) scenarios and you are asked a question after each scenario. Results are sent to you by email.
2. Boots Hearingcare: this test takes you through a series of sounds and you increase or decrease the sounds until you hear them.
3. Specsavers UK: this test is the same as the Boots Hearingcare test
4. Scrivens Hearing: you will be asked some introductory questions and then your hearing is tested using different high pitched sounds
5. Online test and audiogram printout: This is one of the best online hearing tests on the web. Using headphones you can test hearing in your left, right or both ears. Once you have completed the test, you can save or print your audiogram (a graph that shows your level of hearing loss). The website, created by Dr Stephane Pidgeon has lots of fantastic information about the hearing test.
What if I need a hearing aid!?
We’ve only listed 5 online tests but please bear in mind that any result will indicate that you need to get your hearing tested properly. You can get your hearing tested through the NHS. If you have a moderate level of hearing loss, the NHS will also issue free hearing aids. The NHS also provide aftercare free of charge.
Of course, you can also pay for hearing aids privately. The cost of hearing aids differs considerably depending on the hearing aid manufacturer. You also have to factor in any aftercare costs and insurance to cover loss or damage to your hearing aids.
Do I say anything at work?
If you have hearing loss, your employer is legally obliged to make reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act.
Many employees are reluctant to say anything to their colleagues or managers at work. However, any responsible company will research how to support employees with hearing loss and may even invest in Deaf Awareness training.
The key message is to get your hearing tested, put your ability to communicate effectively at the top of your agenda, maintain your confidence and progress your career. Your ears will thank you for your efforts! | medical |

Birth is an experience like none other, and it can be powerful and transformational. The bonding that occurs within the family prepares all involved for the most important job of our lives - parenting. We support your entire family in every way that we are able during pregnancy, birth and beyond.
We know that when families seek midwifery care, it is a very conscious choice. We are committed to providing out-of-hospital birth options - whether in your home or at The Birthouse - to the Maine and New Hampshire communities in our travel radius.
To help folks decide if an out-of-hospital birth with Sacopee Midwives is the right choice for them, we offer a free consultation in person or virtually. Some insurance companies will reimburse you for our fees, but our practice does not bill insurance directly, so it is up to you to work with your insurance. If you would like to hire a professional to assist you, we are happy to refer you to insurance billers that our clients have worked successfully with in the past.
We require payment in full by thirty-seven weeks in pregnancy, and after your birth we will provide you with a statement that you can present to your insurance company to begin the reimbursement process, if it is available to you. Generally your insurance will pay for any screenings, labwork, ultrasounds or physician referrals you wish to have in pregnancy.
We acknowledge that many of our clients pay out-of-pocket for care from us, and we believe every family should be able to have a home birth if that is in their hearts. We offer a reduced fee discount schedule to those who qualify, and may be able to be creative with payment arrangements if discussed early in your pregnancy. See our Financial Agreement for more information.
Care we provide
Midwives provide individualized care, allowing birth to take its natural course and helping you move through this process, safely and confidently. Out-of-hospital birth is a wonderful choice for healthy, low risk people who want to experience birthing their baby in a place where they feel free, safe and private. Choosing midwifery care leads to less medical interventions such as inductions, c-sections, episiotomies, vacuum suction, and forceps. Our main goal is a safe and sacred birth for both you and your baby.
We consult with or refer to other healthcare providers when appropriate, and often work alongside doulas, lactation consultants, and pelvic floor therapists. We also see our clients benefit from chiropractic care, acupuncture and massage therapy.
You and your family will have the opportunity to build solid relationships of trust with your midwives during your pregnancy. Our visits last about an hour so there is plenty of opportunity for us to get to know each other well. We will answer questions you may have between visits promptly by email, text or phone call, and are available for emergencies 24 hours a day. During the prenatal period, we’ll schedule an appointment with you once per month until you reach 28 weeks, then every 2 weeks until 37 weeks of pregnancy. After that, we will visit with you once per week until your birth.
We are on-call for you 24 hours a day/7 days a week, and we’ll be in contact with you by phone as soon as you think labor may be starting. During your labor and birth, your midwives will be there to support and encourage you. We will monitor how you are doing emotionally and physically and will regularly check the baby’s heartbeat with a hand-held doppler. During this time, we can support you and your labor by providing massage, suggesting position changes, facilitating hydrotherapy and ensuring safety.
When your baby is being born, you can be in whatever position you find most comfortable: on our birth stool, in the tub, on hands and knees, squatting, lying on your side, or even on your back (the least common position of choice!). Your baby will be guided to your hands. These moments of falling in love with your baby, in your chosen environment, with soft lights, little noise and a calm atmosphere are truly invaluable. We have practiced delayed cord clamping for over 25 years, and believe that it provides important benefits to the newborn. We also encourage immediate skin-to-skin and breastfeeding within the first 30 minutes of birth, and will assist that process as needed.
After the birth, we stay to monitor you and your baby, do a complete newborn exam, administer newborn medications if desired, clean up and make sure you are comfortable before leaving approximately three to five hours after the birth. We leave you tucked in bed, as a family, ready to go to sleep, with a list of instructions on when to contact us and what to expect.
We continue to be on call for you in the postpartum, and will return to your home to see your family 24-48 hours after your birth. At this time, we can perform a Newborn Metabolic Screening and Critical Congenital Heart Disease Screening. Following this visit, we will file a birth certificate, and apply for a social security card for your baby. We will do another check-in at three or four days postpartum, and we’ll see you again at your home in seven to ten days. We then schedule a visit between three and four weeks, another check-in at six to eight weeks, and a final visit twelve weeks after your birth. During these appointments, we check in on breastfeeding, your baby's growth and health and your physical and emotional healing. We also discuss exercise, nutrition and birth control and offer well-body care, including a pelvic floor health exam at the eight week visit. We encourage you to touch base with us in the first year as needed, and especially if you think you are experiencing postpartum depression or anxiety. | medical |

Maybe, you're looking for a holistic pain relief method. Whether it’s for your back, neck, joints, etc, the pain relief you’re seeking may be right in front of you! Stretching. You know, the thing everyone is told they should do but doesn’t? Yes, stretching can make a big impact when it comes to pain relief!
How Stretching Helps Pain Relief and Pain Management
Everyone experiences pain from time to time. Maybe it’s from an intense workout session, a lack of correct movement in our daily routine, previous injury, or even from having slept wrong on the pillow last night. Regardless of why you’re experiencing pain, stretching can help reduce some of this discomfort.
When experiencing pain, one of the contributing factors could be tight muscles. Stretching can significantly reduce muscle tension. Your muscles need to experience movement in order to reduce tightness. This is why if you sit for long periods of time without breaks, you can feel tightness and pain in your lower body and back. And while moving around can bring some relief, stretching your muscles and holding them in a lengthening position for longer periods of time can help bring you better pain relief.
It’s also important to recognize how stretching can help with pain management and prevention. Stretching has been shown to improve joint mobility which can provide a greater range-of-motion in our daily activities. Apart from joint disease or injury, oftentimes people are experiencing pain in their joints because they are unable to comfortably take the joint through its full range-of-motion. If you can move better, you’ll feel better!
Stretching also facilitates better blood flow, allowing the muscles to recover faster and more effectively. Most people tend to be consistent with their workout routine or sports practices, but not their recovery practices. The harder the workout, the more crucial the recovery is. Muscle fibers need time to repair themselves to perform at their best each and every time. Stretching promotes more blood flow to the muscles which brings fresh oxygen and nutrients the cells need to repair and thrive.
Why assisted stretching for pain Relief
You know stretching can help you with pain relief, but what if you’re not sure what muscles you need to stretch? Or what if you’re worried about hurting yourself more? An assisted stretch is just what you need!
During an assisted stretch, a highly trained professional like our Flexologists will help you stretch the muscles you need to help relieve tension and pain. They will also help you hold the stretch for an extended period of time so that you can feel the full benefits of the stretch.
Here at Stretchlab we also focus on "PNF" stretching which is Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation. This style of stretching focuses on contraction and release of tension which correlates with the breath, allowing the body to relax into a deeper range-of-motion. This means that when you work with our Flexologists, you’re able to safely get a deeper stretch and greater tension relief.
Plus, when we do our own stretching we are not always able to relax fully because our mind and body are in a heightened state of awareness. When being stretched by someone else, our body is able to let go and the mind can focus on the breath, allowing the body to relax and release tension.
start feeling better
Stretching is a great option when looking to reduce daily aches and pains. It can help relieve tension in areas you’re currently experiencing pain, while also helping you prevent further injuries in the future.
People typically think stretching and flexibility training are the kinds of physical exercises only dancers, gymnasts, or extreme athletes need to do. In reality, stretching and flexibility training can help us all move better if not safer. It helps us move more effectively throughout our day-to-day lives doing simple activities such as squatting down to pick up the newspaper or reaching overhead to grab a box off the shelf. If you have not already, book an assisted stretch at a StretchLab near you so you can start moving and feel better! | medical |

The aim of this first entry is to provide a brief introduction to my research as well as what I hope to achieve and improve on in my research through participating in DSF.
A brief presentation of my DSF introduction can be found here.
In summary, I work as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Karnes Laboratory in the College of Pharmacy at the University of Arizona. My research includes identifying genetic factors that underlie complex disease and adverse drug reactions.
As part of the Karnes Lab, my research generally falls under the umbrella of precision medicine (an emerging approach for disease treatment and prevention that takes into account individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle for each person), and specifically in pharmacogenomics (an approach used by precision medicine focused on the study of how genes affect a person's response to drugs).
Currently, my research primarily focuses on using large genomic datasets to identify genetic variants that are associated with complex disease and adverse drug reactions, often by employing genome-wide association study (GWAS) methods, in diverse and admixed cohorts. Specifically, I have three ongoing projects: 1) examining local and global ancestry in a self-identified Hispanic/Latino cohort in relation to pharmacogenetic variants associated with Warfarin, 2) identifying disease associations to ABO blood groups in the AllofUs study using a PheWAS approach, and 3) identifying genomic risk factors for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) in the AllofUs study using a GWAS approach.
I believe that my experience in DSF will provide me tools to conduct more reproducible and collaborative projects. For example, I have very little experience with GitHub, and learning about GiHub Wiki pages this past week was already very beneficial. I can now create repositories and share Wiki pages and files via GitHub which already provides me a platform to make my work and code more accessible. I also hope to develop better data management skills and coding skills. | medical |

The outer protective layer, called the cuticle, is thin and colourless. The second layer, called the cortex, is an important part. It gives the hair strength, colour and thickness, and determines whether it will be straight or curly. The third layer is the medulla, and it is typically made up of a row of cells which are two to four columns wide. Its exact function in the hair is unknown. The final element is the follicle, a sac within the scalp where the hair is generated. Strands of hair are rooted in these hair follicles in the skin, and glands called sebaceous glands surround the follicles.
A hair shaft is to a follicle, what a blade of grass is to a grass seed. That is you can not have one with out the other. It also means to achieve results like GROW MORE HAIR are only achieved when there are MORE HAIR FOLLICLES in the area. In the same way, to GROW MORE GRASS on a section of earth, you need more seeds to achieve that result.
Dr Okuda (left), a Japanese dermatologist, performed the first recorded attempts of hair transplantation on humans. In 1939 he reported in Japanese dermatological journals his results from treating various burns victims by transplanting plugs of hair from the permanent hair zone into burnt scar tissue on the scalp, eyebrow and moustache regions. Dr Okudanever mentionedhair transplanttreating male or female pattern hair loss and it is unlikely that he realised the potential of his work. His reports never made it outside Japan and he was killed during WorldWar II..
Dr Norman Orentreich (right) of New York, completely unaware of Dr Okuda’s previous work, described a similar procedure he had performed in 1959. Dr Orentreich is considered to be the father of modern hair transplantation because he realised the application of the procedure in the treatment of baldness, and also because he recognised the importance of donor dominance.
The success of any hair transplant procedure is dependant upon the incidence of donor dominance. Simply stated, this is the phenomenon whereby hair-bearing skin taken from the permanent zone at the back and sides of the scalp and transferred to the balding areas at the front, top and crown will retain its original programming (or resistance to the effects of the male hormone) and will grow hair and continue to grow hair for as long as it would have in its original position. Since those early days in New York, the science and art of hair transplantation has evolved to become the most commonly performed procedure on men in INDIA today. To fully explain the advancements that have been made, it is necessary to look back at how the procedures were performed.
RENAISSANCE CLINIC INDIA performs both follicular unit grafting (FUG) and follicular unit extraction (FUE) as a simple walk in walk out procedure under local anesthesia. These procedures usually involve the movement of thousands of tiny hair follicles from the balding resistant areas at the back and sides of the scalp to the areas at the front, top and crown that are susceptible to hair loss.
Once the procedure is completed the patient can leave our clinic with a thin headband type bandage covering the donor area at the back and sides of the scalp. The recipient area at the top of the head does not require any bandaging and the patient is free to wear a cap or bandana immediately after surgery.
A patient is shown with his existing hair taped up to expose the donor region undergoing FUE with individual hairs being removed from the donor area. To perform an FUE procedure a large area at the back and sides of the scalp is clippered down to a #1. Now the surgeon will make a tiny circular incision around each follicular unit. As each incision is made the graft is then carefully extracted one by one from the scalp. These are then given to the surgical team who will check them under the microscope and further trim them if required. The small holes from which the grafts are extracted are so small they are left to heal on their own. From here on the procedure is much the same as the FUG.
Following either procedure scabs are evident on the top of the scalp for about 7-10 days. Some minor swelling may occur in the forehead region 3 days after the procedure. Patients can generally return to normal activities within a couple of days after the procedure with some limitations on exercise, smoking and drinking. The new hair will begin to grow through about three months after the procedure with final result expected about 18 months after surgery.
A patient is shown with his existing hair taped up to expose the donor region undergoing FUG with a linear strip of hair bearing skin being removed.
Follicular Unit Grafting at RENAISSANCE CLINIC involves removing a thin strip of hair bearing skin from the region at the back and sides of the scalp. once this piece is removed the the two edges are brought together and sutured closed. The patients hair directly above the incision covers the area so it is not noticeable.
This strip of hair bearing skin is then given to a team of surgical assistants who dissect this one piece into thousands of follicular unit grafts containing 1, 2, 3 or 4 hair grafts. During this process the grafts are kept suspended in a special solution that ensures they are kept cool and hydrated and can survive many hours outside the body.
As the graft dissecting continues tiny incisions are made in the scalp areas to be treated with very fine gauge needles. The surgical team are able to control all aspects of angle, depth and density to ensure a natural result. The grafts are then placed into these incisions with a very fine pair of tweezers. The 1 hair grafts are placed in the front hairline with the 2 hair grafts placed directly behind. This allows us to create a gradual hairline zone that mimics nature. The 3 and 4 hair grafts are then placed into the forelock region and through the mid scalp for maximum density.
If you could view hair under a microscope you would see that hairs do not grow singly (as is the common belief), but in naturally occurring groups of up to four hairs. These groupings are known as follicular units. This is how the hair used to grow in those areas where it has receded, and using these natural groupings is how we will replace it.
They are not to be confused with micro grafts. Micro grafts are dissected without the aid of magnification and whilst they can be cut into grafts containing one to four hairs they are not necessarily from the same follicular unit. The resulting growth rate and subsequent appearance are neither dense nor natural when compared to the results achievable with follicular unit grafting.
The binocular stereoscopic dissecting microscope allows us to identify and dissect these follicular units whilst sculpting around the sebaceous glands and other appendages crucial for the grafts survival. The resulting grafts are the smallest possible grafts you can achieve that will experience a very high growth rate in excess of 95% in the hands of the right surgical team.
Most importantly with grafts of this size we are replacing the hair in those areas where it has been lost in the same way that it used to grow, in naturally occurring groups of one to four hairs. The follicular unit is the foundation for restoring a natural looking head of hair.
The front hairline is the most critical aspect of any surgical restoration. In the past people have equated the look of a transplanted front hairline to that of a “row of corn” or “dolls hair”. Modern surgical methods have allowed us to overcome the shortcomings of the past through the use of two significant changes.
1.The use of follicular units in the front hairline containing 1 to 2 hairs only and the ability to place them very close together to achieve a high density.
2.The use of an irregular diffuse wave pattern that mimics a natural hairline with minimal or no hair loss. The natural hairline is an irregular zone with a soft transition from forehead through sparse, fine hairs to the thicker denser hairs approximately 1 to 1.5cm behind the front hairline. For many patients the natural appearance of the front hairline is the single biggest factor in determining the success of the procedure.
The first 1.5cm is constructed out of three distinct zones of varying densities and graft sizes. The use of these three distinct zones allows us to produce the natural results that defy detection as a transplanted hairline. In most cases the depth of Zone 2 can extend to as much as 2.5cm in the bi-temporal region as is consistently found in mature men with limited or no hair loss.RENAISSANCE CLINIC has performed many procedures on the front hairlines of men and women.
The above comments are general and apply in many cases but not all. There are a number of variables such as age, future balding, patient’s features, skin colour, and hair type and colour that will ultimately determine the final shape of the scalp line and surgical plan. | medical |

Although CPAP machines are very effective, approximately 40% of the patients who are prescribed the device do not use them, primarily because the masks are uncomfortable, unattractive and prone to leak air.
A Neuma mask is fabricated for each patient in 4 steps:
(1) The patient visits the Neuma website to select a style.
(2) A 3D digital model is created from 2D photos uploaded to the site.
(3) The model is sized in a computer CAD program for a perfect fit.
(4) The mask is 3D printed and shipped to the user.
Because every Neuma mask is made to fit the contours of each user's unique face, the mask is more comfortable, doesn't leak and requires a much less complex and unattractive head strap. | medical |

This may seem a bit dramatic, but time and time again research highlights the significant risks of sitting for prolonged periods.
On average we spend over nine hours a day sitting and this has no doubt increased considerably through lockdown. We’ve all spent more time at home than ever before, including many of us working from home without any form of commute. In the short term, with the extenuating and extraordinary circumstances of the pandemic, this is manageable. But for some of us, our working life is set to continue this way for the foreseeable future, so our habits need to be addressed before they become a problem.
In 2019, the results of the Fellowes The Work Colleague of the Future project were unveiled, in the form of a life-sized dummy they called Emma. After extensive research into the profound effects of a desk-bound job, this predicted what physical changes we might expect to see within the next two decades unless some key changes are made to working environments. Sitting for hours with bad posture and making repetitive movements had caused Emma to have a permanently bent back, rotund stomach and swollen wrists and ankles, plus varicose veins from poor blood flow. More than 90% of the UK office workers interviewed for the project reported health issues that reduced their productivity. Almost half suffered from eye strain, sore backs or headaches caused by their inadequate workspace, and seven out of ten workers were regularly taking medication to combat these complaints. It’s likely that enforced working from home has exacerbated this further, with hours spent on Zoom and tales of ironing boards being repurposed as desks.
Below are just some of the physiological effects that prolonged sitting can trigger:
- Poor posture is common when sitting and this puts pressure on the lower back and creates tension in your neck and shoulders. Limited movement also stiffens joints.
- Your metabolism slows down by 90 percent after just half an hour of sitting, limiting the action of enzymes that move fat from your arteries to your muscles to be burnt off.
- Good cholesterol drops by 20 percent after two hours of sitting. This is the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol that helps remove other forms of cholesterol from your bloodstream. The body also becomes less sensitive to insulin, increasing the risk of diabetes.
- C reactive protein, an inflammation marker, is raised in people who sit for extended periods, and is thought to be what increases their risk of cancer, predominantly breast or colon, but also lung, prostate, endometrial and ovarian cancer.
- Your ability to focus is reduced when you sit for too long. More worryingly, a correlation has been found between people who are more sedentary and thinner medial temporal lobes, the area of the brain responsible for creating and storing memories. This is a known precursor to dementia.
The cure for too much sitting isn’t to do more exercise though. The term ‘active couch potato’ has been coined to describe those people who meet the recommended exercise quota but nonetheless spend the majority of their time sitting, both at work and at home. Exercise is good for you of course, but it can't counteract or offset the potential damage done through so many sedentary hours.
So what can you do?
Just getting up and moving around for a few minutes every 20 minutes or so gets everything going again. Simple. Research has shown that breaking up periods of inactivity is one of the best ways to prevent type 2 diabetes, for example. But when you’re absorbed in what you’re doing, it’s too easy to forget about standing and moving around, so we end up going for hours at a stretch sitting in front of our computers or the TV. And sitting behaviour tracks from childhood to adolescence to adulthood, which means it really matters how much your children sit now.
The key is to develop good habits. Make a point of getting up whenever TV ads are on, or during your working day, whether you’re talking on the phone or joining an online meeting, ask yourself if you could be standing instead. This is where an adjustable standing desk comes in. It helps you take every opportunity to move, but also allows you to sit for the tasks that require it. You can alternate between the two and this is the ideal scenario for your body. It also gives you the possibility to build up your stamina to the ratio of standing to sitting that works best for you.

In order to sustain life our bodies take in oxygen at each breath.
Clean dry air at sea level contains about 21% oxygen, 78% nitrogen and small amounts of other gases.
Oxygen molecules move from the tiny alveoli cells in our lungs into the bloodstream where they are circulated throughout the body by the heart.
If a person suffers from a malfunctioning heart or lungs or both, they will generally require supplementary oxygen at some stage.
Our bodies need oxygen to metabolise (breakdown) our food into energy and heat.
A result of metabolism is the production of carbon dioxide which we breathe out along with the other gases via the lungs.
Supplemental oxygen is ‘medical grade oxygen’. This means that it is above 85% pure oxygen.
All supplementary oxygen equipment available from EasyOxygen produces ‘medical grade oxygen’.
What happens if we have insufficient oxygen?
Oxygen is vital to life. If someone is under oxygenated it will impact all body systems and make everyday tasks much more difficult to carry out, as well as place additional stress on the body.
If not addressed, under oxygenation (hypoxia) will have severe ramifications for your health.
What are the main diseases that lead to the need for supplemental oxygen?
The demand for supplemental oxygen therapy is increasing as more people age, and some medical conditions become more prevalent.
Lung disease affects 2.6 million Australians impacting on many people’s lives as well as their families.
The most common category of lung disease is Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), where it is estimated that one in seven Australians over 40 years of age suffer from some form of it.
COPD is a progressive and irreversible lung condition and includes diseases such as ‘chronic bronchitis’, and ‘emphysema’, or a combination of the two, where damaged lung tissue and narrowing of the airways makes breathing difficult. Whilst the disease cannot be cured, its rate of progression can be slowed down through things such as a healthy diet, and exercise.
It is estimated that one in 17 Australians is likely to develop lung cancer before 85 years. Forecasts predict that this figure will increase in the future.
Asthma sufferers represent currently 10% of the population (about 2.5 million people), or 1 in 9 Australians.
There are also several other less common forms of lung disease including asbestosis, interstitial lung disease (most commonly affects children), pulmonary arterial hypertension, and pulmonary fibrosis.

Your prescription - what does it mean?
Oxygen must be prescribed by your Doctor or Specialist. Oxygen is deemed to be a medical drug and an oxygen concentrator cannot legally be supplied to a person without a prescription. This serves to protect the person from potentially improper use of oxygen.
Commonly people mistake ‘breathlessness’ as an indication of a lack of oxygen, however it may be symptomatic of several other underlying health conditions. In these cases, supplementary oxygen may at best not be helpful and at worst could be harmful.
Oxygen is a gas and is generally prescribed in ‘Litres per Minute’ (LPM). The majority of people are prescribed at 2LPM, however an individual prescription can vary quite widely with doses as low as 0.5 to 1 LPM up to and above 5LPM.
Often as a medical condition worsens an individual may need to increase the dose, although NOT without the advice of their doctor.
Scripts may also refer to a ‘nocturnal’ rate whilst you are sleeping as well as an ‘exercise’ rate where you are physically active.
Scripts may be for 24 hours/day, 16 hours or less per day or even only on exercise/activity.
So, as you can see there is a wide variety of oxygen prescriptions to address the diverse oxygen supplementation needs of different people and their respective medical conditions.
Oxygen concentrators, how do they work?
The EverFlo is your night time companion.
Plugged into the power it will quietly and continuously provide you with medical grade oxygen whilst you sleep.
Suitable for use with CPAP machines
All oxygen concentrators work by drawing in the surrounding air and passing it through an external broad particle filter to remove any airborne particles and ambient air pollution.
The filtered air is then passed through a molecular sieve bed. The nitrogen is extracted and the oxygen stored under pressure. The oxygen is then concentrated to the level of medical grade oxygen.
A distinctive intake and purge cycle can be heard as the concentrator works. As the concentrator is continuously taking in air and storing oxygen there is no need for a large storage capacity. The main requirement is to have a reliable energy supply. [
How is supplementary oxygen supplied?
Supplementary oxygen is most commonly supplied in one of three ways, or a combination of two of the three.
1. Home oxygen - the stationary in-home concentrator is a well established piece of equipment and is generally quite affordable.
2. Gas cylinders are used by some people and are commonly supplied as part of a government funded home oxygen support program. The cylinders vary in size, but once emptied, need to be refilled.This is usually at a cost to the user once they have exceeded their quota. Cylinders can also be difficult or cumbersome for somepeople.
3. The portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) that have been developed over the last ten years are continually improving in reliability, output and weight. POCs are becoming more widely used and hence better known, providing a user with oxygen in a more convenient and mobile way.
In-home versus portable oxygen concentrators
Home or stationary oxygen concentrators are a very cost effective way to receive supplemental oxygen.
Units such as the Philips Everflo or the Newlife AirSep Intensity must be connected to mains power. The user receives oxygen via a nasal cannula or oxygen mask.
The nasal cannula or mask is connected to oxygen tubing, most commonly 15 or 30metre in length.
The in-home concentrators have wheels so they can be readily moved about the house. The user has to navigate their daily life being ‘attached’ to the concentrator.
Home oxygen concentrators produce continuous flow oxygen with machines varying in output from 0.5 LPM through to 5 or 10LPM.
Oxygen can be supplied via a nasal cannula - a piece of plastic tubing with two curved nasal prongs that sit in the front of the nostrils or by way of a face mask.
This works reasonably well for most people whilst at home or asleep.

However, the capacity to be mobile outside of the home is severely restricted.
Oxygen gas bottles are commonly provided to assist with mobility out of the home, but these can be heavy and awkward.
Often as a person adjusts to their changed circumstances where they now require supplemental oxygen, they start to look for a more versatile and cost effective source of oxygen.
A supply of oxygen that will enable them to move about more freely and return to a more active lifestyle.
Portable oxygen concentrators
Portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) are a relatively new means of supplying supplemental oxygen whilst giving an individual greater personal freedom.
As the technology improves, the POCs are reducing in size and weight.
Weight and size reduction is made possible by supplying pulse oxygen. This is where your breath triggers the release (pulse) of oxygen.
The use of pulse delivery significantly lessens the demand for oxygen.
The majority of people can comfortably use pulse delivery oxygen whilst out and about, although it is recommended that you check with your Doctor first.
Many people will combine a continuous flow machine at home and maybe at night with a pulse delivery portable concentrator if out during the day.
As a pulse delivery unit requires the user to breathe in order to ‘trigger’ the release of oxygen, a pulse unit will not work with anyone who breathes through their mouth as the ‘trigger’ will not be activated.
Quite often a person can manage a pulse unit whilst out and about through the day as the unit will alarm if it does not detect a breath. A firm breath will generally reset the unit and stop the alarm. However, this will not be a suitable unit for sleeping if you are a mouth breather, as you will be continually woken up.
It is also important to understand that selecting a portable concentrator based on size and weight alone is NOT always going to best meet your oxygen needs. This is especially important when you are ambulant.
For some people their oxygen need increases rapidly on activity and they may require a higher output POC.
The other area of ‘potential confusion’ is the ‘bolus size’. The bolus is the amount of oxygen discharged by the POC when the trigger is activated based on a breath. A higher setting on your POC means a larger bolus.
Some people have a higher respiratory rate on exertion and may ‘out breathe’ a POC. Hence the unit may alarm frequently. How a Portable Oxygen Concentrator works.
EasyOxygen POCs all produce the best output of oxygen available in the marketplace for their size and weight.
Portable concentrators generally feature at least two ways of carrying the unit usually by handle or shoulder strap, with some models allowing for a backpack.
The heavier units are supplied with a trolley.
All of the POCs available for purchase from EasyOxygen are able to be used whilst flying, although the airlines do require you to complete a form in advance of travel. I
t is always advisable to check if the POC is approved for travel by the respective airline before booking.
ALSO check with your Doctor as oxygen levels reduce with altitude and the POC may require a higher dose setting or may not be able to meet your oxygen needs.
A POC can generally be used with a walker, wheelchair/power chair or a mobility scooter, either carried in the basket or using the straps.
My Simply Go Mini goes everywhere with me. The extended battery life gives me up to 9 hours of oxygen at 2LPM and that’s plenty of time to do most things. I can’t recommend the unit highly enough. Jack
The Simply Go provides a single solution for anyone requiring continuous flow whilst sleeping but can comfortably manage pulse flow throughout the day
The hybrid oxygen supplementation solution
There are several oxygen concentrators that are able to produce continuous flow oxygen as well as pulse oxygen. These units are a great solution for someone perhaps wanting to travel where bringing along the home oxygen concentrator is difficult or not practical.
Whilst moving about through the day the unit can be switched to pulse delivery and provide greater operational battery time than possible with continuous flow delivery.
It should be noted that in order to keep the weight down continuous flow settings are at either a maximum of 2 as with the Simply Go or 3LPM (Sequal Eclipse 5) only.
Also, as continuous flow delivery requires a much greater quantity of oxygen, battery life is much reduced on that setting.
Both units provide good battery life if operated on pulse.
Generally, whilst sleeping these units need to be plugged into mains power, to ensure you have an uninterrupted sleep. Whilst these units can produce both continuous and pulse flow oxygen it is important to understand that they are not designed to be used long term and replace the larger home oxygen concentrator!
Matching an oxygen concentrator to your needs
As detailed in the above sections, you require: Your script which indicates your oxygen dose in litres per minute
How many hours a day you require oxygen
Whether you require a higher dose on exertion
Whether you need to use the concentrator while sleeping Whether you can successfully use pulse delivered oxygen
DOs and DON’Ts of Oxygen therapy
DO avoid any open flame (oxygen is highly combustible)
DO avoid using your concentrator in areas where people may be smoking
DO only use a nasal cannula with a POC Do use either a mask or nasal cannula with an in-home concentrator DO treat the equipment with care DON’T get equipment wet | medical |

If so, you’re not alone. Many people struggle with creating a routine that prioritizes movement and exercise. In this article, we will explore practical tips and strategies that can help you design a daily routine that not only accommodates your commitments but also promotes regular physical activity. Say goodbye to excuses and hello to a healthier and more active lifestyle.
Benefits of Daily Physical Activity
Improved physical health
Engaging in daily physical activity offers numerous benefits for your physical health. It can help improve your cardiovascular health, strengthen your muscles and bones, and enhance your overall physical fitness. Regular exercise can also help lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease, and improve lung function. Additionally, physical activity supports weight management by burning calories and increasing metabolism. With improved physical health, you will have a stronger immune system and be better equipped to fight off illnesses and diseases.
Boost in mood and mental well-being
Daily physical activity not only benefits your body but also your mind. Engaging in exercise releases endorphins, which are chemicals that naturally improve your mood and reduce feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression. Regular exercise can also enhance cognitive function, memory, and concentration. By incorporating physical activity into your daily routine, you can experience a boost in your overall mental well-being and maintain a positive outlook on life.
Increased energy levels
When you engage in physical activity, your body releases energy-boosting hormones and increases blood flow to deliver oxygen and nutrients to your muscles. As a result, regular exercise can help combat feelings of fatigue and improve your overall energy levels. By incorporating daily physical activity into your routine, you can experience increased productivity throughout the day and better stamina to tackle daily tasks.
For those aiming to manage or lose weight, daily physical activity plays a crucial role. Regular exercise helps burn calories and fat, contributing to weight loss or maintenance. By incorporating a balanced combination of aerobic exercises, such as running or swimming, and strength training exercises, such as weightlifting or resistance training, you can effectively manage your weight and improve your body composition.
Reduced risk of chronic diseases
Daily physical activity has been shown to reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancers. Regular exercise helps regulate blood sugar levels, improve insulin sensitivity, and reduce high blood pressure and cholesterol. By committing to a consistent daily physical activity routine, you can significantly reduce your risk of developing these chronic conditions and enjoy a healthier life.
Setting Goals for Daily Physical Activity
Identify your motivation
Before starting your daily physical activity routine, it is important to identify your motivation. Ask yourself why you want to engage in regular exercise and what goals you hope to achieve. Maybe you want to improve your overall fitness, lose weight, or simply feel more energized. Understanding your motivation will help you stay focused and committed to your goals.
Understand your fitness level
When setting goals for daily physical activity, it is essential to consider your current fitness level. Assess your strengths, weaknesses, and any physical limitations you may have. This will help you tailor your exercise routine to your abilities and gradually progress without risking injury.
Choose specific and realistic goals
Setting specific and realistic goals is key to staying motivated and seeing progress. Instead of aiming to “exercise more,” set specific goals like “run 5 kilometers three times a week” or “attend two yoga classes per week.” By making your goals measurable and attainable, you can track your progress and feel a sense of accomplishment.
Break down goals into manageable steps
To prevent overwhelming yourself, break down your goals into smaller, manageable steps. If your ultimate goal is to run a marathon, start by setting goals to increase your running distance gradually. For example, aim to run 1 kilometer without stopping, then gradually increase the distance over time. Breaking down your goals will make them more achievable and help you stay motivated.
Track progress and celebrate achievements
To stay motivated throughout your daily physical activity journey, track your progress and celebrate your achievements. Use a fitness tracker or journal to record your workouts, distances, or exercise durations. Seeing your progress on paper or through digital apps can serve as a reminder of how far you’ve come and help you stay focused on your goals.
Designing a Workout Schedule
Consider time availability and preferences
When designing a workout schedule, consider your time availability and personal preferences. Choose a time of the day that works best for you, whether it’s early morning, during lunch breaks, or in the evenings. Additionally, select activities that you enjoy to make your workouts more enjoyable and sustainable in the long term.
Include a variety of activities
Incorporating a variety of activities into your workout schedule can prevent boredom and work different muscle groups. Consider including activities such as running, swimming, cycling, weightlifting, yoga, or dance. Mixing up your routine will keep you engaged and excited about your workouts.
Balance aerobic and strength training exercises
A well-rounded workout schedule should include both aerobic exercises and strength training. Aerobic exercises, such as jogging or cycling, improve cardiovascular health and endurance. Strength training exercises, such as weightlifting or bodyweight exercises, help build muscle strength and increase metabolism. Strive for a balanced combination of both types of exercises to maximize the benefits of your workouts.
Allocate rest and recovery days
Rest and recovery are essential components of any workout schedule. Give your body time to recover and repair by incorporating rest days into your routine. Rest days allow your muscles to heal and prevent overuse injuries. Aim for at least one or two rest days per week to ensure optimal recovery.
Flexibility and stretching exercises
Don’t forget to include flexibility and stretching exercises in your workout schedule. Stretching helps improve joint range of motion, prevent muscle imbalances, and reduce the risk of injuries. Allocate time for stretching exercises after each workout session or consider incorporating activities like yoga or Pilates into your routine.
Making Physical Activity Part of Your Daily Routine
Identify opportunities for movement throughout the day
To make physical activity a part of your daily routine, identify opportunities for movement throughout the day. Take the stairs instead of the elevator, walk or cycle to nearby locations instead of driving, and incorporate short walks or stretching breaks into your work routine. These small changes can add up and contribute to your daily physical activity goals.
Take active breaks during sedentary activities
If you have a sedentary lifestyle due to work or other obligations, take active breaks to counteract long periods of sitting. Set a timer every hour to prompt you to stand up and move around. Perform simple exercises like squats, lunges, or even a quick dance session to get your body moving.
Get creative with household chores and errands
Household chores and errands provide opportunities for physical activity. Get creative by turning everyday tasks into mini-workouts. For example, increase your step count by briskly vacuuming the house, mowing the lawn, or gardening. Consider walking or cycling to nearby stores instead of driving for errands.
Establish a consistent exercise time
To make physical activity a part of your daily routine, establish a consistent exercise time. Find a time that works best for you and stick to it. It could be early in the morning before work, during your lunch break, or in the evenings. By making exercise a regular part of your schedule, it becomes a habit that is easier to maintain.
Find a workout buddy or join group classes
Finding a workout buddy or joining group classes can provide motivation and make physical activity more enjoyable. Partnering up with a friend or family member can help keep you accountable and provide social support. Alternatively, joining group classes like yoga, Zumba, or spinning can add a social aspect to your workouts and make exercising a fun and interactive experience.
Motivating Yourself for Daily Physical Activity
Set rewards and incentives
To stay motivated for daily physical activity, set rewards and incentives for yourself. For example, treat yourself to a massage or a new workout outfit once you achieve a milestone or consistently meet your exercise goals for a month. Having something to work towards can provide extra motivation and make your efforts feel more rewarding.
Find activities you enjoy
To ensure long-term commitment to daily physical activity, find activities that you genuinely enjoy. Experiment with different exercises and try various sports or fitness classes until you find what brings you joy. Whether it’s dancing, hiking, swimming, or playing a team sport, incorporating activities you love into your routine will make it easier to stay motivated.
Switch up workouts to avoid boredom
Boredom can be a major demotivator when it comes to daily physical activity. To avoid falling into a rut, regularly switch up your workouts. Try new exercises, explore different fitness classes, or vary your outdoor activities. The element of novelty will keep you engaged and excited about your workouts.
Track your progress and improvements
Tracking your progress and improvements can be highly motivating. Keep a record of your workouts, distances, or weights lifted to monitor how far you’ve come. Seeing tangible results can boost your confidence, provide a sense of accomplishment, and motivate you to keep striving for more.
Connect with a supportive community
Having a supportive community can make a significant difference in staying motivated for daily physical activity. Join online fitness communities, follow fitness influencers on social media, or participate in local fitness events or running groups. Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals who share similar goals can provide encouragement, support, and inspiration.
Overcoming Obstacles and Excuses
Manage time efficiently
One of the most common obstacles to daily physical activity is time constraints. However, by managing time efficiently and prioritizing your health, you can overcome this obstacle. Schedule your workouts in advance and treat them as non-negotiable appointments. Look for time-saving strategies such as incorporating shorter, high-intensity workouts or breaking up your workouts into smaller sessions throughout the day.
Address lack of motivation or low energy
There may be days when you lack motivation or feel low on energy, making physical activity seem daunting. To address this, remind yourself of the benefits of exercise and how good you will feel afterward. Consider trying different workout styles or incorporating new activities to keep things exciting. If fatigue is an ongoing issue, evaluate your sleep patterns, nutrition, and overall stress levels to ensure you’re prioritizing your well-being.
Deal with weather limitations
Weather conditions can sometimes make it challenging to engage in outdoor physical activity. However, there are ways to work around weather limitations. Invest in suitable clothing and gear to protect yourself from adverse conditions. If it’s too hot or cold outside, consider indoor exercise alternatives such as home workouts, gym sessions, or fitness classes. Alternatively, explore indoor venues such as malls or community centers that offer walking tracks or indoor sports facilities.
Adjust routines during travel or busy periods
Traveling or busy periods in life can disrupt your daily physical activity routine. However, it’s important to be adaptable and find alternative ways to stay active during these times. Research fitness facilities at your travel destination or pack lightweight exercise equipment, such as resistance bands or jump ropes, to use in your hotel room. During busy periods, aim for shorter, more intense workouts or break up your physical activity throughout the day to make it more manageable.
Find adaptive strategies for physical limitations
Physical limitations or injuries may pose challenges to daily physical activity. However, with proper guidance and adaptive strategies, you can still maintain an active lifestyle. Consult with a healthcare professional or certified trainer who can provide modified exercises or techniques to accommodate your limitations. Engaging in activities such as swimming, water aerobics, or chair exercises can also be beneficial for individuals with specific physical challenges.
Incorporating Physical Activity in Different Settings
At home exercises and workouts
Incorporating physical activity at home is convenient, cost-effective, and suitable for any fitness level. You can engage in various exercises such as bodyweight workouts, yoga or Pilates sessions, and dance routines. Invest in basic home workout equipment such as dumbbells, resistance bands, or a stability ball to add variety and resistance to your routines.
Outdoor activities and sports
Outdoor activities and sports provide an opportunity to connect with nature, enjoy fresh air, and challenge your physical abilities. Engage in activities such as hiking, cycling, swimming, jogging, or team sports like soccer, basketball, or tennis. Outdoor activities can be tailored to your preferences and fitness level while providing a great way to add excitement and variety to your exercise routine.
Gym or fitness center routines
Gym or fitness center routines offer access to a wide range of equipment and resources to support your fitness goals. Take advantage of cardio machines like treadmills or ellipticals, weightlifting equipment, and group fitness classes. Working out at a gym can provide a motivating environment and access to specialized equipment or expert guidance from personal trainers.
Workplace wellness initiatives
Many workplaces now offer wellness initiatives to promote physical activity among employees. Take advantage of these initiatives by participating in lunchtime walks, standing or walking meetings, or joining workplace fitness challenges. If your workplace has a gym or exercise facilities, utilize those during breaks or before or after work. Incorporating physical activity into your work environment can boost productivity and create a healthier workplace culture.
Active transportation options
Utilizing active transportation options is an excellent way to incorporate physical activity into your daily routine. Consider walking, jogging, or cycling to work or nearby destinations instead of relying solely on motorized transportation. Not only will you be engaging in physical activity, but you will also be reducing your carbon footprint and promoting environmental sustainability.
Maintaining Consistency and Building Healthy Habits
Choose activities for long-term sustainability
When selecting physical activities for your daily routine, prioritize those that are sustainable in the long term. Find exercises or sports that you genuinely enjoy and can see yourself doing regularly. By choosing activities that are enjoyable, you are more likely to stick with them and make physical activity a lifelong habit.
Prioritize consistency over intensity
Consistency is key when it comes to maintaining a daily physical activity routine. It’s better to engage in moderate-intensity exercise regularly than to pursue sporadic high-intensity workouts. Prioritize consistency by finding a balance that works for your schedule and energy levels. This approach will help you develop healthy habits and make daily physical activity a natural part of your lifestyle.
Make physical activity a non-negotiable in your routine
To ensure that daily physical activity becomes a non-negotiable part of your routine, treat it as a priority. Schedule your workouts in advance and commit to them as you would any other important task or appointment. By making physical activity a non-negotiable in your routine, you reinforce its importance and create a habit that becomes easier to maintain.
Gradually increase intensity and duration
As you progress in your daily physical activity routine, gradually increase the intensity and duration of your workouts. Begin with lighter exercises and gradually challenge yourself with increased resistance, longer distances, or higher intensity intervals. The progressive overload principle ensures that your body continues to adapt and improve over time.
Create a support system and accountability
Building a support system and accountability mechanism can greatly enhance your consistency and motivation. Share your goals and progress with friends, family, or an online community. Consider finding a workout partner or hiring a fitness trainer for added support and guidance. Surrounding yourself with individuals who share similar goals or understand the importance of daily physical activity will help keep you accountable and motivated.
Staying Safe and Preventing Injuries
Warm-up and cool-down routines
Prior to any physical activity, it is crucial to warm up your muscles and prepare your body for exercise. Spend a few minutes engaging in dynamic stretches or light cardio exercises to increase blood circulation and flexibility. After your workout, incorporate a cool-down routine that includes static stretching to help your muscles recover and reduce the risk of post-exercise soreness.
Proper form and technique
Maintaining proper form and technique during exercise is essential for preventing injuries. If you are uncertain about the correct form, consult with a qualified fitness professional or enlist the help of a personal trainer. Knowing how to perform exercises correctly will help you target the correct muscle groups, avoid unnecessary strain, and reduce the risk of accidents or injuries.
Listen to your body and avoid overtraining
Listening to your body’s signals is crucial for staying safe and preventing overtraining. Pay attention to signs of fatigue, pain, or discomfort during or after exercise. Rest when needed, and never push yourself to the point of exhaustion or injury. Remember that recovery is an integral part of any exercise routine, so allow your body to rest and rebuild to avoid overuse injuries.
Use appropriate safety equipment
When engaging in certain activities or sports, it is important to use appropriate safety equipment. This may include items such as helmets, knee pads, wrist guards, or proper footwear. Using the right safety equipment can provide added protection and reduce the risk of injuries, particularly during higher-impact or contact sports.
Stay hydrated and nourished
Proper hydration and nutrition play a vital role in maintaining safety and preventing injuries during physical activity. Drink water before, during, and after your workouts to stay adequately hydrated. Fuel your body with a balanced diet consisting of carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats to provide the energy and nutrients required for optimal performance. Consulting with a registered dietitian can help you tailor your nutrition to support your exercise routine.
Adjusting Routines for Different Life Stages
Daily physical activity during childhood and adolescence
Physical activity is essential for the growth and development of children and adolescents. Encourage daily physical activity by providing opportunities for play, engaging in sports teams or clubs, or participating in physical education classes. Aim for a mix of aerobic exercises, strength training, and activities that promote flexibility and balance. Adapt the intensity and type of exercises to suit the child’s age, abilities, and safety considerations.
Promoting physical activity in adulthood
As an adult, promoting physical activity involves finding effective ways to incorporate exercise into your daily routine. Set aside dedicated time for workouts, engage in recreational sports or activities, or join fitness classes or clubs that align with your interests. Prioritize activities that cater to your health goals while considering any physical limitations or conditions you may have. Remember to include a variety of exercises to maintain a well-rounded fitness routine.
Maintaining an active lifestyle as a senior
Daily physical activity is important for seniors to maintain strength, flexibility, and overall well-being. Engage in exercises that improve balance, mobility, and muscular strength, such as walking, swimming, tai chi, or gentle yoga. Prioritize safety by choosing low-impact or modified exercises, listening to your body, and seeking professional guidance when needed. Consult with a healthcare professional to create an exercise routine that aligns with your specific needs and limitations, and always warm up properly to prevent injuries.
Prenatal and postnatal exercise considerations
During pregnancy, physical activity can provide numerous benefits but requires special considerations. Consult with a healthcare professional to ensure that exercise during pregnancy is safe and appropriate for you. Engage in low-impact activities like walking, swimming, or prenatal yoga, avoiding high-impact or contact sports. Postpartum, gradually reintroduce exercise with a focus on rebuilding core strength and overall fitness. Listen to your body, adapt exercises as needed, and seek guidance from professionals familiar with prenatal and postnatal exercise.
Adapting routines for individuals with special needs
Physical activity is beneficial for individuals with special needs, but it may require adaptations to meet their specific requirements. Consult with healthcare professionals or therapists who specialize in working with individuals with special needs. They can provide guidance on suitable exercises or activities that promote strength, mobility, and overall well-being. Consider adaptive sports programs, aquatic therapy, or modified exercise routines that cater to specific needs and abilities.
In conclusion, creating a daily routine that promotes daily physical activity requires planning, motivation, and a commitment to your well-being. By understanding the benefits of physical activity, setting realistic goals, designing a workout schedule, making physical activity part of your daily routine, and addressing obstacles, you can establish healthy habits that lead to a more active and fulfilling life. Remember to prioritize safety, adapt routines to different life stages, and seek professional guidance when needed. With dedication and consistency, daily physical activity can become an enjoyable and integral part of your lifestyle. | medical |

My first book published by Lambert academic publishing
Cambodia is one of the few countries in the world to achieve the MDG in reversing the spread of HIV, with the prevalence falling from 3% in 1998 to 0.7% in 2008. The decline indicates a high commitment from government and civil society in the fight against HIV. The book highlights the success in multiple interventions and challenges facing over the course of the epidemic. The work is based on different studies conducted over the course of preventive interventions from 2002 to 2005 to investigate the epidemiological context of the epidemic, and how this is related to changes in risk behaviours in the general population and in sub-groups of the population. Results from this work suggest an optimistic future in HIV control and prevention in Cambodia. However, challenges do remain, including the reliable quality of HIV/STI service deliveries, the sustainability of preventive programmes, and the dependency of heavily external funding supports. This book should be useful for students and professionals in public health especially for program planners and researchers, or anyone who may be interested in the development of HIV prevention and control in developing countries.

Sharing an experience in writing a peer reviewed paper
Keep in mind that you should feel free to write down whatever you can think of if you do not have any ideas to start with. References must be cited properly. My suggestion is to read few similar published papers to get ideas how other authors structured their papers. The research paper usually goes through several drafts before it is finalized. From my experience, revising a manuscript more than 10 to 15 times with your supervisor and co-authors is common before it is finally submitted to the intended journal.

The Strep A Rapid Test (Throat Swab) is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of Strep A antigen from throat swab specimens to aid in the diagnosis of Group A Streptococcal infection.
Streptococcus pyogenes is non-motile gram-positive cocci, which contains the Lancefield group A antigen that can cause serious infections such as pharyngitis, respiratory infection, impetigo, endocarditis, meningitis, puerperal sepsis, and arthritis. Left untreated these infections can lead to serious complications, including rheumatic fever and peritonsillar abscess. Traditional identification procedures for Group A streptococci infection involve the isolation and identification of viable organisms using techniques that requires 24 to 48 hours or longer. The Strep A Rapid Test is a rapid test to qualitatively detect the presence of Strep A antigen in throat swab specimens, providing results at 5 min. The test utilizes antibodies specific for whole cell Lancefield Group A Streptococcus to selectively detect Strep A antigen in a throat swab specimen.

** IMPORTANT: CBD AND DRUG INTERACTIONS ARE NOT A JOKE. IF YOU WANT TO START TAKING CBD AND ARE ALREADY TAKING OTHER MEDICATIONS, PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR FIRST! **
CBD Drug Interactions
While CBD is safe to use, it can potentially mess with other medications you may be taking.
This quick guide should be all you need to safely use CBD even if you have other medications you need to take.
Can CBD interact with other drugs?
Yes. The way that CBD is metabolized by your body can interfere with how your body normally metabolizes other drugs you take. If those other drugs aren’t metabolized properly, they can hang around and stay in your system longer than you want. This can cause negative side effects and complications.
One kind of drug you should pay special attention to is a blood thinner like warfarin. Taking CBD with warfarin can make the warfarin stay in your system for too long without being broken down.
CBD drug interactions aren’t always bad. They can actually be a good thing. CBD can make other drugs more effective, so much so that you can reduce the dosage of those other drugs and thus have less negative side effects to deal with.
The Grapefruit Test is all you need
Thank you to Martin Lee of Project CBD for inspiring the Grapefruit Test. If you haven’t been to Project CBD yet, make sure to check it out. They are running a great site with lots of useful information about cannabis medicine.
As Lee explained in his class CBD 101, CBD interacts with other medications in your body in the same way as grapefruit, only even stronger.
Have you ever been told not to take your medication with grapefruit? This is because compounds in grapefruits can interfere with the metabolism of many medications.
CBD does the same thing. But as I said above, the effect is even stronger with CBD.
Do the grapefruit test with your doctor or pharmacist. Ask them: “Should I avoid eating grapefruits or drinking grapefruit juice with this medication?”
They will know exactly what you are talking about. If they say yes, you should avoid grapefruits with your medication, you now know you need to be careful about mixing CBD with those same meds as well. Talk to your doctor about CBD and tell them about it if they say you should avoid grapefruits with your medication.
Alternatively, you can skip the Grapefruit Test and just directly tell your doctor you want to use CBD.
We always recommend you do this anyway, even if your doctor doesn’t work directly with cannabis. Medical schools typically don’t educate physicians about the endocannabinoid system, the most widespread receptor system in the human body. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t educate them about it!
If your doctor is aware of your CBD usage, he may decide to monitor your blood work more closely or tell you to avoid taking CBD at the exact same time as your other medications.
Drugs that Interact with Cannabidiol
Any drug metabolized by CYP450 enzymes could potentially interact with cannabidiol. According to the Indiana University Department of Medicine, drugs known to use the CYP450 system include:
- HMG CoA reductase inhibitors
- Calcium channel blockers
- HIV antivirals
- Immune modulators
- Beta blockers
- Angiotension II blockers
- Oral hypoglycemic agents
This list does not include all of the potential medications impacted by cannabidiol. Nor will every medication in the categories contained on this list will cause an interaction. For these reasons, you should consult with a medical professional before supplementing with CBD. | medical |

It involves placing breast implants under breast tissue or chest muscles.
For some women, breast augmentation is a way to feel more confident. For others, it’s part of rebuilding the breast for various conditions.
If you’re considering breast augmentation, talk to a plastic surgeon. Make sure you understand what surgery involves, including possible risks, complications and follow-up care.
Why it’s done
Breast augmentation might help you:
- Enhance your appearance if you think your breasts are too small or that one is smaller than the other
- Adjust for a reduction in the size of your breasts after pregnancy
- Correct uneven breasts after breast surgery for other conditions
- Improve your self-confidence
Discuss your goals with your surgeon so that you can be realistic about what breast augmentation can do for you.
Breast augmentation poses various risks, including:
- Scar tissue that distorts the shape of the breast implant (capsular contracture)
- Breast pain
- Changes in nipple and breast sensation
- Implant leakage or rupture
Correcting these complications might require more surgery, either to remove or replace the implants.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has identified a possible association between breast implants and the development of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), a rare cancer of the immune system. The FDA believes that women with breast implants might have a very low but increased risk of developing ALCL. However, further research is needed to fully understand the relationship between ALCL and breast implants.
How you prepare
You’ll consult with a plastic surgeon about your preferences for size, feel and appearance of your breasts. The surgeon will describe specific types of implants — smooth or textured, round or shaped like a teardrop, saline or silicone — as well as options for surgical techniques.
Carefully review written information, such as the patient information from the manufacturer of the implant you’ll be getting, and keep copies for your records.
Before you decide to have surgery, consider the following:
- Breast implants won’t prevent your breasts from sagging. To correct sagging breasts, you might need a breast lift in addition to breast augmentation.
- Breast implants aren’t guaranteed to last a lifetime. The average life span of an implant is 10 years. Implant rupture is a possibility. Also, your breasts will continue to age, and factors such as weight gain or weight loss might change the way your breasts look. These issues will likely lead to more surgery.
- Mammograms might be more complicated. If you have breast implants, in addition to routine mammograms, you’ll require additional, specialized views.
- Breast implants might hamper breast-feeding. Some women are able to successfully breast-feed after breast augmentation. For others, however, breast-feeding is a challenge.
- Insurance does not cover breast implants. Unless it’s medically necessary — such as after a mastectomy — breast augmentation isn’t covered by insurance. Be prepared to handle the expenses, including related surgeries or future imaging tests.
- You might need additional surgery after breast implant removal. If you decide to have your implants removed, you might need a breast lift or other corrective surgery to help restore your breasts’ appearance.
- You might need an MRI scan. The FDA recommends routine monitoring with MRI after three years. However, recent studies show that there’s little data to support routine screening unless you have symptoms.
You might need a baseline mammogram before your surgery. Your doctor might adjust certain medications before the surgery as well. For example, it’s important to avoid aspirin or other medications that can increase bleeding.
If you smoke, your surgeon will ask you to stop smoking for a time before the surgery.
Arrange for someone to drive you home after the surgery and to stay with you for at least the first night.
What you can expect
Breast augmentation can be done in a surgical center or hospital outpatient facility. You’ll probably go home the same day. The procedure rarely requires a hospital stay.
Sometimes, breast augmentation is done during local anesthesia — you’re awake and your breast area is numbed. Often, though, breast augmentation is done during general anesthesia, in which you’re asleep for the surgery.
During the procedure
To insert the breast implant, your surgeon will make a single cut (incision) in one of three places:
- In the crease under your breast (inframammary)
- Under your arm (axillary)
- Around your nipple (periareolar)
After making an incision, the surgeon will separate your breast tissue from the muscles and connective tissue of your chest. This creates a pocket either behind or in front of the outermost muscle of the chest wall (pectoral muscle). The surgeon will insert the implant into this pocket and center it behind your nipple.
Saline implants are inserted empty and then filled with sterile salt water once they’re in place. Silicone implants are pre-filled with silicone gel.
When the implant is in place, the surgeon will close the incision — typically with stitches (sutures) — and bandage it with skin adhesive and surgical tape.
After the procedure
Soreness and swelling are likely for a few weeks after surgery. Bruising is possible, too. Expect scars to fade over time but not disappear completely.
While you’re healing, it might help to wear a compression bandage or sports bra for extra support and positioning of the breast implants. Your surgeon might prescribe pain medication as well.
Follow your surgeon’s instructions about returning to regular activities. If you don’t have a physically demanding job, you might be able to return to work within a few weeks. Avoid strenuous activities — anything that could raise your pulse or blood pressure — for at least two weeks. While you’re healing, remember that your breasts will be sensitive to physical contact or jarring movements.
If your surgeon used sutures that don’t absorb on their own or placed drainage tubes near your breasts, you’ll need a follow-up appointment for removal.
If you notice warmth and redness in your breast or you run a fever, you might have an infection. Contact your surgeon as soon as possible. Also contact your surgeon if you have shortness of breath or chest pain.
Breast augmentation can change the size and shape of your breasts. The surgery might improve your body image and self-esteem. But keep your expectations realistic, and don’t expect perfection.
Also, your breasts will continue to age after augmentation. Weight gain or weight loss might change the way your breasts look, too. If you become dissatisfied with the appearance of your breasts, you might need more surgery to correct these issues. | medical |

It has been shown that Humira causes lymphoma cancers, particularly rare lymphoma cancers like hepatosplenic t-cell lymphoma cancer. Humira is a tumor necrosis factor, TNF, blocker. The Federal Drug Administration has recently ordered Abbott Laboratories to place a warning on Humira packaging warning consumers on the risks associated with taking Humira.
In addition to hepatosplenic t-cell lymphoma cancer it has been shown that Humira causes infections like histoplasmosis. That Federal Drug Administration (FDA) has also ordered warnings to Abbott Laboratories on these infections. The consumers most likely to be exposed to infection are in the Mississippi and Ohio River Valleys. Additionally, consumers that have been prescribed methotrexate, an immune-suppressant drug, are at increased risk. To join this class action product liability lawsuit please contact me ASAP.
Concerns have also surfaced that Humira may cause nerve damage. Humira is generally prescribed for arthritis and less often for psoriasis. | medical |

Figure 2. Process of affinity of antibody detection
Determining the does response curve for different antibodies
A dose-response experiment was set up in a 96-well plate to determine affinity of antibodies for CHO cells, including original drugs, generic drugs and negative antibody (Fig. 3). A range of reducing amounts of primary antibodies (10µg/mL-0.01µg/mL) were used across the plate as indicated.
Figure 3. 96-well plate map of antibodies conditions. Each well containing CHO cells (0.3 million), secondary antibody (5µg/mL) and primary antibodies (0.01, 0.039, 0.156, 0.625, 2.5, 10µg/mL) are indicated. Other wells untapped are unwritten.
Imaging and analysis with Countstar® FL imaging system
A signal-color application procedure was created by setting Green channel to image Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorescence, plus a bright field. Bright field picture reference segmentation was applied as a mask to sample the Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorescence signal. Example images of each concentration of AB4, images of highest concentration of PCSK9 and 002-BMK1 are shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4. Images of 0.01, 0.039, 0.156, 0.625, 2.5, 10µg/ml of AB4 treated CHO cells. The images showed the higher antibody concentration, the stronger fluorescence signal. 002-BMK1 antibody can bind with Tim3 specifically, PCSK-9 was a negative control antibody. 002-BMK1 sample, all cells showed high fluorescence signal, representative image shown.PCSK-9 sample, showed almost no fluorescence signal, representative image shown.
Quantitative analysis for affinity of antibody with Countstar® FL imaging system
Different affinity of antibodies can be presented a direct quantitative value by different average fluorescence intensity of antigen-antibody reactions. CHO cells which stable express X protein were applied to analyze affinity of antibodies arresting following treatment with different concentration of antibodies. The results were displayed in the database of Countstar® FL. Data was exported to analyse. Graphpad prism5 was implemented to evaluate the EC50 of antibodies (Fig. 5A). The fluorescence intensity increased as the primary antibodies concentrations increased. The average fluorescence intensity tendency showed that the reaction activity of each antibody at different concentrations, and PCSK-9 which was a negative control antibody showed almost no fluorescence intensity. LogEC50 of each antibody showed that the affinity of original drugs were better than generic drugs. AB2, AB3, AB4,AB6 are better among generic drugs, they can be used to do next assay (Fig. 5B). The Countstar® FL system can evaluate affinity of antibodies directly and reliable.

It is particularly important in planning for care at the end of your life. You can document what you want so your wishes are clearly understood. Or you can nominate a trusted family member or friend to make these decisions for you when you are no longer able to make them.
Each state and territory has resources that can be used. Talking within your family is often a good place to start. You can also talk to your GP, a community nurse or other people who provide support and care.
The important thing is to make sure that you share these plans and wishes while you can still communicate and while you have the capacity to do so.

The Pennsylvania Department of Health announced Wednesday that over the past twenty-four-hours, there were 2,179 new cases of the coronavirus reported, bringing the statewide total to 1,179,251. County-specific information and a statewide map are available here. Pennsylvania reported 52 new deaths, bringing the statewide death toll to 26,659. In licensed nursing and personal care homes, there are 71,294 resident cases of COVID-19, and 15,003 cases among employees, for a total of 86,297 at 1,590 distinct facilities in all 67 counties. Out of total deaths reported, 13,198 have occurred in residents from nursing or personal care facilities. Approximately 28,120 of our total cases are among health care workers. Washington County added 45 new infections for a total of 17,358 confirmed and probable cases of COVID-19. The county’s death toll remains at 295. Allegheny County added 183 new cases for a total of 99,567 confirmed and probable infections. The county’s death toll rose by four for a total of 1,912. Greene County added eleven new COVID cases, bringing the countywide total to 3,196 confirmed and probable cases. The county’s death toll remains at 39. To date, fifty-two-point-seven-percent of Pennsylvania residents have received at least one dose of the COVID vaccine and forty-five-point-six-percent of residents have been fully vaccinated. Across the United States, COVID-19 cases have now surpassed thirty-two-point-seven-million and more than five-hundred-and-eighty-two-thousand people have died.
*The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have released new guidance regarding the wearing of masks. U.S. health officials say fully vaccinated Americans don’t need to wear masks outdoors anymore unless they are in a big crowd of strangers, and unvaccinated people can drop face coverings in some cases, too. The change comes as more than half of U.S. adults have gotten at least one dose of coronavirus vaccine, and more than a third have been fully vaccinated.
**Under the new guidelines issued by the CDC, Pennsylvania residents who are fully vaccinated may now visit with other fully vaccinated people indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing, visit with unvaccinated people from a single household who are at low risk for severe COVID-19 disease indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing and refrain from quarantine and testing following a known exposure, if asymptomatic.
The state’s mask mandate in businesses is still REQUIRED – EVEN IF FULLY VACCINATED. Consistent mask-wearing and hand-washing is critical to preventing the spread of COVID-19.
***Governor Wolf Lifting COVID-19 Mitigation Orders
Gov. Tom Wolf announced Tuesday, May 4th, that his office would be lifting the COVID-19 mitigation orders, except the masking order, on Memorial Day. According to a news release, Wolf said the current order requiring state residents to wear a mask will be lifted once 70% of Pennsylvanians age 18 and older were fully vaccinated. Right now, masks are required to be worn indoors and outdoors when away from your home. Requirements such as testing and reporting new cases will remain in place for hospitals and long-term care facilities. Maintaining requirements for hospitals and long-term care facilities will allow Pennsylvania to continue to closely monitor COVID-19 spread while lifting other restrictions. The Department of Health recommends that Pennsylvanians refer to CDC guidance and recommendations regarding ongoing COVID-19 safety measures and procedures. These updates will not prevent municipalities and school districts from continuing and implementing stricter mitigation efforts. | medical |

FVR has a solid experience in conducting phase 4 observational vaccine studies and pragmatic clinical trials. Pragmatic trials are particularly well suited for providing further evidence to National Immunization Technical Advisory Groups (NITAGs) after phase 1 to 3 trials and vaccine licensure. Real-World Evidence data ensures that outcomes in terms of public health benefits are adequately documented.
FVR experts have conducted register-based studies utilizing various study designs (cohort study, case-control study, indirect cohort method, register-based hospital-based test-negative design) in evaluating vaccine effectiveness, vaccine safety, and disease burden.
Additionally, active hospital-based test-negative design studies are particularly suitable for FVR as our RWE unit is located at the Tampere hospital campus. Tampere is the second largest urban area and the third most populous single municipality in Finland. Several large outpatient facilities are near-by.

Register data sources in Finland
All registers listed below are nationwide, linkable with each other, and affordable. Data collection in all registers is mandatory, electronic, automated, structured and, in most cases, real-time. Due to the national health insurance coverage of all permanent residents and accessible public healthcare, the registers capture the healthcare events without selection bias.
All residents of Finland have a unique Personal Identity Code (PIC). All national registers include the PIC as identifier, thus allowing unambiguous deterministic linking of data from different registers at an individual level. The PIC includes the birth date of the subject, an individual number (revealing the sex of the person) and a control character. PIC is assigned at birth or at the time a person is granted a residence permit. The PIC is permanent, except in gender transitioning.
Data for outcomes, exposure, and potential confounders and effect modifiers will be extracted from the following nationwide registers:
National Infectious Diseases Register (NIDR), maintained by the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) since 1995 is a population- and laboratory-based surveillance system. Since 2004, the NIDR data includes the PIC. All Finnish clinical microbiology laboratories are obliged to notify positive laboratory findings for defined infectious diseases in the NIDR. Each notification includes e.g. date and place of sampling, specimen type, microbe detection method, and date of birth, sex, and municipality of residence of the patient. In addition to the laboratory notification, dentists and doctors must file a notification for certain generally hazardous or monitored communicable diseases. A public register description is available HERE >>
The Care Register for Health Care (Hilmo), a hospital discharge register maintained by THL since 1994. The register contains all inpatient hospitalizations in Finland and, since 1998, also information on outpatient visits in municipal hospitals. The discharge notifications include data on the patients such as municipality of residence, site of treatment, admission and discharge dates, type of admission (emergency/scheduled/transfer), and diagnoses recorded with ICD-10 codes (ICD-9 codes up to 1996). A separate discharge notification is reported for each visit (e.g. ER visit) or inpatient treatment at a specific ward. The data are collected locally on an ongoing basis, and transfers to the national register is performed overnight. The data includes the PIC and can be linked with other individual register data. A public register description is available HERE >>
The Register of Primary Health Care Visits (Avohilmo) maintained by THL contains data on outpatient primary health care visits in public health care since 2011. Since 2021, also most private health care providers are covered. The data includes e.g. date, place, and time of the visit/contact and reason/diagnoses (recorded with ICD-10 codes or ICPC-2 codes). The data includes the PIC and can be linked with other individual register data. The data dispatch from the health care centers is scheduled to occur every night. A public register description is available HERE >>
The National Vaccination Register (NVR), maintained by THL since 2009, was established as part of the Register of Primary Health Care Visits (Avohilmo/THL) (Baum et al. 2017). The data is comprehensive since 2011. The NVR includes all vaccinations given in public primary health care and it is increasingly covering also vaccinations administered in the private health care and specialist medical care (the latter through Hilmo).
The Medical Birth Register, maintained by THL since 1987, with several further reforms includes versatile data on deliveries and births in Finland. The data includes PIC and can be linked with other individual register data. A public register description is available HERE >>
The Social Insurance Institutions (KELA) benefits registers include data on decisions on reimbursement of health care costs of the individual citizens covered by the national health insurance. These include e.g. reimbursements for antimicrobial drugs and entitlement to special reimbursements on medical expenses such as entitlement to reimbursement of drugs for defined chronic diseases and of immunosuppressant drugs. Special reimbursement decisions can be used for identification of chronic diseases. The data includes the PIC and can be linked with other individual register data.
Kanta Services (KELA), Prescription Centre and Patient Data Repository. The Prescription Centre contains data on electronical prescriptions for medicines comprehensively since 2017. The Patient Data Repository is a national information system service for archiving electronic patient data produced. The majority of public health care providers had joined the Kanta Patient Data Repository in 2015 and since November 2021 it has also been mandatory for private health care providers to join. Kanta Services is a cooperative effort of KELA, THL, the Digital and Population Data Services Agency (DVV), the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health and the National Supervisory Authority for Welfare and Health Valvira, as well as social welfare and healthcare operators, pharmacies and system suppliers. Kanta is updated near real-time. The health and social data in the Kanta Services is available for secondary use, read more HERE >>
The Digital and Population Data Services Agency (DVV) maintains a Population Information System (PIS), a computerized national register that contains basic information about Finnish citizens and foreign citizens residing in Finland on a permanent basis. The information in the system is used throughout the information services and management of the Finnish society. Personal data recorded in the system includes e.g. the date and country of birth, date of death (if applicable), municipality of residence and place of residence/address. Aggregated population data are publicly available, read more HERE >>
Additional registers available for research purposes include the Care Register for Social Care at THL, Cancer register (THL), various registers of Statistics Finland, and many others.

Healingbell, one of the best Parkinson Rehabilitation Center in Bangalore is where hope is rekindled, and lives are transformed.
At Healingbell Healthcare, we understand the intricate challenges of Parkinson’s disease and are resolute in our commitment to providing tailored rehabilitation programs that empower individuals to reclaim their lives. With a focus on specialized exercises, innovative therapies, and unwavering support, our Parkinson rehabilitation center stands as a beacon of promise for those navigating the complexities of Parkinson’s.
Parkinson’s disease is a complex and progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects millions of lives worldwide. It manifests with a range of motor symptoms, including tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia (slowness of movement), and postural instability. Beyond the physical challenges, Parkinson’s can also take a toll on emotional well-being and cognitive function. While a cure remains elusive, rehabilitation has emerged as a crucial aspect of managing the disease, aiming to improve the quality of life, enhance mobility, and provide a sense of control.
WHAT DOES COMPREHENSIVE PARKINSON REHABILITATION SERVICES ENCOMPASS?
Our Parkinson Rehabilitation Center in Bangalore offers a comprehensive range of specialized services that cater to various aspects of the disease:
Specialized Exercise Programs: Physical exercise has been proven to have a positive impact on managing Parkinson’s symptoms. Our experienced physiotherapists work closely with patients to develop personalized exercise regimens that focus on improving flexibility, strength, balance, and overall mobility. These exercises are meticulously designed to target the specific motor challenges posed by Parkinson’s, helping individuals regain a greater degree of control over their movements.
Occupational Therapy: Maintaining independence in daily activities can be a significant challenge for individuals with Parkinson’s. Our skilled occupational therapists collaborate with patients to develop strategies that make daily tasks more manageable. By focusing on adaptive techniques and assistive devices, we empower individuals to maintain a sense of autonomy and carry out daily routines with confidence.
Speech and Swallowing Therapy: Parkinson’s can affect the muscles responsible for speech and swallowing, leading to communication difficulties and a risk of aspiration. Our speech therapists employ evidence-based techniques to enhance speech clarity, improve vocal control, and address swallowing issues. These therapies not only facilitate better communication but also contribute to improved nutritional intake and overall well-being.
Counseling and Emotional Support: Dealing with a chronic condition like Parkinson’s can take a toll on one’s emotional and psychological well-being. Our certified counselors provide a safe and supportive environment where individuals and their families can address the emotional challenges often accompanying the disease. By offering coping strategies and emotional guidance, we aim to enhance overall resilience and mental well-being.
Group Therapy: The power of community cannot be underestimated, especially for those facing similar challenges. Our group therapy sessions provide a platform for individuals with Parkinson’s to connect, share experiences, and learn from one another. These sessions foster a sense of camaraderie, reduce feelings of isolation, and create a supportive network that extends beyond the rehabilitation process.
BENEFITS OF PARKINSON REHABILITATION SERVICES
Engaging in structured parkinson’s rehabilitation exercises offers a host of benefits that contribute to an improved quality of life:
Enhanced Mobility and Functionality: Parkinson’s disease can gradually diminish muscle strength, flexibility, and coordination, leading to difficulties in movement and daily activities. Rehabilitation interventions, including targeted exercises and specialized therapies, are meticulously designed to improve muscle strength, flexibility, and coordination, resulting in enhanced mobility and the ability to engage in daily activities.
Symptom Management: Parkinson’s disease is characterized by a range of motor symptoms, such as tremors, muscle rigidity, and bradykinesia. Rehabilitation techniques, such as physical exercises and occupational therapies, can help manage specific symptoms like tremors and bradykinesia, leading to better motor control.
Improved Confidence: Dealing with the challenges posed by Parkinson’s disease can often lead to feelings of frustration, helplessness, and a decline in self-confidence. Parkinson’s rehabilitation services focus not only on physical improvement but also on building mental resilience. Learning strategies to navigate daily challenges can boost confidence and restore a sense of control over one’s life.
Emotional Well-being: A diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease can trigger a range of emotional responses, including anxiety, depression, and stress. Rehabilitation centers like Healingbell Healthcare understand the emotional toll of the disease and offer comprehensive counseling and emotional support services addressing emotional challenges, reducing stress, and fostering a positive outlook on life.
Cognitive Stimulation and Mental Agility: Parkinson’s disease can impact cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and problem-solving. Rehabilitation exercises can help individuals maintain cognitive skills, enhance memory retention, and improve overall cognitive resilience, contributing to a more comprehensive and well-rounded approach to managing the disease.
Pain Management: Parkinson’s disease can sometimes lead to muscle stiffness, discomfort, and pain. Rehabilitation techniques, including stretches, massages, and manual therapies, can effectively alleviate muscle tension and reduce pain levels. Moreover, the improvement in overall mobility and flexibility can also contribute to decreased pain and discomfort, allowing individuals to engage in daily activities with less physical strain and discomfort.
Medication Optimization: Rehabilitation programs work in tandem with medical treatments. Engaging in regular exercise and therapies can enhance the effectiveness of Parkinson’s medications. By improving muscle strength, balance, and coordination, individuals may experience better absorption and distribution of medication, leading to more consistent symptom control and improved overall well-being.
Long-Term Independence: One of the primary goals of rehabilitation parkinson’s disease is to empower individuals to maintain their independence for as long as possible. By acquiring the necessary skills, strategies, and tools through rehabilitation programs, individuals can continue to perform daily activities and engage in social interactions without the need for constant assistance. This sense of autonomy not only enhances the individual’s quality of life but also alleviates the burden on caregivers and family members.

I specialise in helping women relieve pain and discomfort during their pregnancies. I can help pregnant women in 3 ways;
- Reduce symptoms such as nausea, back-ache, swollen ankles, stress and anxiety. Using Reflexology, you can get significant relief from many of the discomforts of pregnancy. Swelling, heartburn, constipation and many others, even debilitating conditions such as Symphisis Pubis Dysfunction and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, can all be managed.
- Shorten your labour. Studies* have shown that women who have regular reflexology treatments during pregnancy have far shorter labours than those who don’t, (on average, two thirds shorter with an average first stage labour of 5 hours, compared to textbook figures of 16 to 24 hours), with subjects often requiring less pain-relief during the course of delivery.
- Help you to recover quickly after delivery. Post-natally, reflexology can help balance the body back to a non-pregnant state. It is helpful in many areas and can help with breastfeeding; encouraging good flow, and helping with engorgement and mastitis problems. It is particularly helpful with postnatal depression and can be very beneficial in dealing with fatigue, stress and anxiety issues. | medical |

Our schools are underfunded and our roads and bridges are neglected because of the colossal cost of Medicaid. Medicaid already consumes more than one-third of the state's $24 billion budget, and expanding it would cost Missouri an additional $1.6 billion. Despite spending billions of dollars on Medicaid, it still leaves 300,000 uninsured Missourians in what is called a "coverage gap". Medicaid expansion is unworkable, unaffordable, and we are not going to do it. As governor, I will instead support Medicaid reforms as charging Medicaid patients for missed appointments.
My administration will focus on healthcare solutions like funding Federally Qualified Health Clinics (FQHCs), which would provide quality healthcare access to all Missourians, including those who live in rural areas. These clinics serve patients in medically underserved areas regardless of their ability to pay, based on a sliding scale. All Missourians should have equal access to quality healthcare, and as governor I will fight to deliver healthcare to all Missourians, urban and rural. As governor, I will also support legislation that allows remote treatment through the use of modern technology in order to improve service for underserved rural areas.
I will continue to stand up to federal overreach in our healthcare system and fight against the expansion of Obamacare. Missouri healthcare under Obamacare is unworkable and hurting Missouri families. Obamacare continues to be troubled as evidenced by the increase in premiums for Obamacare marketplace subscribers and the recent announcement of another major insurer (United Healthcare) dropping out of the marketplace. In 2010, was the first person in Missouri to file a private lawsuit fighting the constitutionality of Obamacare, and was joined by lawmakers in more than 20 states. Rather than punish hardworking uninsured Missourians with unnecessary Obamacare fines, I'll fight to fund FQHCs that will provide quality healthcare for all Missourians.
I also support reforming our healthcare system through expanding the role of nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Missouri continues to suffer from a physician shortage in many counties, especially in the rural areas of the state. We are currently among one of the most restrictive states in terms of restrictions on nurse practitioners. By expanding the role of nurse practitioners and physician assistants, we can expand access to affordable and quality health care for more Missourians. | medical |

I’ve waited till now - the start of my 39th week to write it so I had a good idea of the whole journey. I will write about the birth experience (including the final week/s of pregnancy and how that was managed) separately so the post isn’t too long. Due to many friends and family giving birth in Australia, i know a little bit about what is normal there and being able to compare the experience with Switzerland, although it is important to note that my experience here may not be (and most likely isn’t) typical of all pregnancies here in Switzerland either. Anyone’s care here is largely dependent on the gynaecologist you choose to see. So let me jump in to the biggest things i learned, loved and hated about being pregnant in Switzerland.
How much you pay/How much is covered
In Switzerland, it is compulsory to have basic health insurance cover and its not very cheap! I’m not going to go into all the details of how health insurance works here, but here’s a small overview: We pay roughly CHF 800 a month as a couple for basic health insurance. For that, you receive care thats a little better than Australia’s free public health service. In addition to our monthly fee, we still have to pay our franchise (like an excess) - so we pay the first CHF2500 per year of all medical bills. After that, we only pay 10%.
For the first 13 weeks of pregnancy you are considered ‘ill’ which means all the bills are treated as such and dealt with normally through the insurance. From 13 weeks to birth you are considered pregnant and pretty much everything pregnancy related is 100% covered and you don’t have to pay the excess either. We were pleasantly surprised by this and its been a huge financial relief as there are so many appointments you need to go to plus all the unexpected appointments that pop up too, and I don’t know whether you’ve heard but Switzerland is expensive! haha. Its kind of been fun seeing all the expensive medical bills come in and zeroed out - Thank goodness!!
Thankfully we didn’t have any complications or anything go wrong in the first 13 weeks, but I feel for women who miscarry and perhaps need a D&C and then also have to pay for their surgery on top of it all because as per the health system you’re ill not pregnant! I really believe if it is pregnancy related - it should be covered regardless of how many weeks you are.
Routine Scans and Appointments
Here in Switzerland, your pregnancy is managed by your own ob/gyn of your choosing which you go back and see throughout the whole pregnancy. I could be wrong, but this seems to be opposed to being managed largely by your General Practitioner in Australia and only occasionally seeing an obstetrician at milestone dates. I chose an ob/gyn based on some recommendations on facebook, however I wish I would have settled with a gynaecologist before hand and got to know the style of my doctor as I have never really felt 100% happy with my choice (more on that later), but felt like it would be too much trouble to change part way through.
I saw my obstetrician, every 3-4 weeks and at each appointment I had blood drawn, urine sample, weight check, blood pressure check and a growth scan by ultrasound. This is in addition to a short chat with the ob/gyn about any concerns either one of us had. I loved that everything was done in one building and directly before my appointment. Unlike Australia where your blood samples and ultrasounds are usually done somewhere other than your appointment and not likely on the same day either!
I know in Australia, they only do around 3 ultrasound growth scans over the entire pregnancy and initially, i thought the Swiss way of an ultrasound every 3-4 weeks was good. Why wouldn’t i want to see my baby on the screen each month and make sure everything is on track? Well… my baby has always measured on the smaller side pretty much the whole way through the pregnancy. I know that ultrasounds can be slightly inaccurate too. However all these scans just caused a whole bunch of stress that really wasn’t necessary. My doctor became concerned at my baby’s size, and also at her head circumference so we were referred a couple of times to a specialist for more ultrasounds (on slightly more accurate equipment) which showed she was small, yes, but everything was completely fine. This period felt like a rollercoaster of worry and relief and it really made me question what the point of all these ‘extra’ ultrasounds were - does micro monitoring these babies really benefit the health of the pregnancy, or just cause undue worry? Do they pick up more abnormalities in Switzerland than Australia?
You and your baby’s stats are printed on a ‘Mutterpass’ which you continually get updated at each appointment and take home with you and take to the hospital or to any health care provider that needed to see it. I actually loved this sheet of paper. I felt like it was a great overview of how it was all tracking, the information was transparent and I could refer back to it anytime i wanted rather than it all kept for the doctors only.
Overall, the care in Switzerland is at a very high standard - Doctors are well educated and knowledgeable - all the tests were completed quickly and easily and I was updated on results very quickly too. I do believe however that bedside manner and how patients are listened to and spoken to was not so great. Now, I know this is not everyone’s experience here. My ob/gyn came highly recommended by many and I felt she was professional and met my needs medically 90% of the time. Perhaps this was a cultural thing (most likely i think) but i really clashed with my doctor. She is definitely more serious and blunt and maybe its because i’m Australian, but i prefer things a little friendlier. One thing i had to get used to was when she greeted me into the room and asked ‘How are you?’, the answer was carefully written down in my notes and not mentioned again. The stock standard answer for ‘How are you?’ is always ‘good’! I didn’t know I had to pour out my soul to her as I entered the room!
I also got very little information on my first appointment with her back when i was 7 weeks pregnant - she briefly touched on some foods to avoid - raw fish/meat, unpasteurised cheese - and gave me a booklet that was in German which was sort of like a handbook about pregnancy. Needless to say, i didn’t read the book and was left with a lot of questions, not only general questions on pregnancy, but also the process in Switzerland. What could I expect from her, how many appointments will I have, who do I call if I have problems during the pregnancy? I felt like a lot was missed out and i learnt more from support groups online, and through books than I did through my own doctor. I realised they are not in the habit of telling you anymore than you need to know. Results sent through to my doctor weren’t really elaborated on apart from a ‘yes its okay’ - instead, if a copy was sent to me, i would be googling translations to really understand what was tested and what my results meant. For anyone going through the same experience - i 100% recommend purchasing Emily Oster’s book ‘Expecting Better’. She compiles all the information women need to know about what to eat, the risks of various foods and tests, what tests are necessary and all the facts and statistics directly from the research studies with no spin! It really gave me peace of mind and confident in the decisions I was making for myself.
It’s a sad thing to say, but I often left my appointments feeling dumb, depressed or worried. My questions were often met with replies that made me feel silly for asking, I was unnecessarily worried about potential risks that hadn’t even happened or been confirmed yet, and any concerns of pain I had wasn’t really questioned and just brushed off as ‘normal’ which may have been true but i felt like they weren’t investigated adequately. Immediately after failing my gestational diabetes glucose test, I was told I would most likely have to be on insulin at some point in the pregnancy and ‘have’ to go to the main hospital for birth (which was not the hospital I preferred) - Both of these facts turned out not to be true as my blood sugar levels have been in the right ranges since and my choice in hospital is available and safe for me to be at. In hindsight, i wish I changed doctor from the beginning, however i continually doubted my own feelings and that maybe i just ‘took it the wrong way’. I had a much better experience with the specialist doctor I saw at regular intervals - i guess being a specialist and having to give a range of good and bad news, her bedside manner is a little more developed and crucial for the wellbeing of her patients.
All in all…
I sit here now, at the tail-end of my pregnancy pretty happy with my journey and experience. Despite jumping through all the hoops they threw at me, my pregnancy had no complications, my baby is healthy according to all their measurements and tests and I feel really good heading into this birth. I have learnt so much through this journey though- most importantly to trust myself and my body. I have learnt that no one cares as much about your own body and health than you and you need to advocate for yourself, realise that while doctors are incredibly knowledgeable, you also need to understand what is happening and it needs to feel right for you. There is so much information out there and I encourage you to speak to a wide variety of people, read books, hear other peoples experience and educate yourself - knowledge really is power and it gives you the confidence to ask more questions and take ownership over your health and care.
I also learnt to relinquish a little control in some aspects (which is big for me!) and have worked hard to get my head in a good, happy place. Naturally, i haven’t felt like this all the time, and i’m sure i’ll still have doubts in the final week or so - but i feel like i’ve grown as a person. Perhaps I needed to go through this - to become a better human, woman and mother.
After the birth i’ll discuss all the ways i prepared for the delivery - antenatal classes, books i read, podcasts i listened to, my experience in hiring and doula, and hypnobirthing! | medical |

Phone: 330-759-2301 ext. 1115
PK-6 Clinic Staff
Phone: 330-759-1733 ext. 1337
Students with specific health care needs should submit those needs in writing and with proper documentation by a physician to the school office. All medications, prescribed and non-prescribed, are to be delivered to the school nurse and taken only with adult supervision. The school nurse is available to discuss the procedure for medications and treatments. No medications or medical treatments are to take place in school without his/her knowledge.
To comply with the state law regarding administration of drugs, medication must be prescribed by a physician. If it is necessary for a student to receive medication during school hours, please complete the Prescription Medication Form. This form is to be signed by the physician and parent/guardian. Medication is to be brought to the school office, by the parent, in the container in which it was dispensed by the prescribing physician or a licensed pharmacist. If possible, all medication should be given by parents at home. If this is not possible, it will be done in accordance to the following:
1. “Medication” shall include all medication: those prescribed by a physician and any non-prescribed (over the counter) drugs, preparation and/or remedies.
2. A medication form that has been completed by physician and parents /guardian must be on file prior to administration of any medication. A new form is required at the beginning of each school year.
3. Medications must be brought in to the school by parents /guardian. The medication must be received in the original container in which it was dispensed by the prescribing health care provider or licensed pharmacist. Over-the-counter medication must be in the original container.
4. It is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to keep an adequate supply of medication at school and instruct their child to report to the designated area at the appropriate time to take the medication.
5. Students may carry an inhaler with them. A properly completed school medication form for the inhaler is required to be on file with the school nurse (per House Bill 121)
Injury and Illness
All injuries must be reported to a teacher or the office. If minor, the student will be treated and may return to class. If medical attention is required, the office will follow the school’s emergency procedures. A student who becomes ill during the school day should request permission from the teacher to go to the office. The office will determine whether or not the student should remain in the school or go home. No student will be released from school without proper parental permission.
Control of Casual Contact Communicable Disease and Pests
The school has the obligation to protect the safety of the staff and students. Therefore, the school’s professional staff reserves the authority to remove or isolate a student who has been ill or has been exposed to a communicable disease or highly transient pest, such as lice. Any removal will be only for contagious period as specified in the School’s administrative guidelines. Specific diseases include: diphtheria, scarlet fever, strep infections, whooping cough, mumps, measles, rubella, and other conditions indicated by the Local and State Health Departments.
Control of Non-Casual Contact Communicable Diseases
In these cases, the person in question will have his/her status reviewed by a panel of resource people, including the County Health Department, to insure that the rights of the person affected and those in contact with that person are respected. The School will seek to keep students and staff persons in school unless there is definitive evidence to warrant exclusion. Non-casual contact communicable diseases include: sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), ARC-AIDS Related Complex, Human-Immunodeficiency (HIV), Hepatitis B, and other diseases that may be specified by the State Board of Health. As required by Federal Law, parents will be requested to have their child’s blood checked for HIV and HBV when the child has bled at school and students or staff members have been exposed to the blood. Any testing is subject to laws protecting confidentiality.
Head Lice Guidelines
Head lice is a universal problem and is particularly prevalent among elementary school-age children. Control of lice infestation is best handled by adequate treatment of the infested person and his/her immediate household and other close personal contacts. Parents need to continually observe their child for this potential problem and treat adequately and appropriately as necessary. Parents will be notified by letter if there are two or more cases in the classroom. In accordance with Board Policy 8451, if a student is found to have lice, the parents/guardians will be contacted to pick him/her up immediately. After treatment, the parent must bring the child to school to be cleared (less than 20 nits) by the nurse to be able to return to school. Failure to successfully treat and control head lice will result in unexcused absences for the student and be subjected to the attendance guidelines /consequences. | medical |

It’s so easy to want to be healed, but to be so attached to a specific vision of healing: that my trouble is completely washed away. But as in all things, God’s got a broader idea than I do. Maybe He wants to heal me completely sometime, but in the meantime, sleep by means of sleep aids, or even just sleep that’s not as terrible as it was awhile ago, is still such a blessing. And only in the in-between stage of healing can I truly feel the progress and yet have something so tangible about which to lean on God for help. | medical |

“The Foreign Ministry is holding talks with all nations and signing agreements for those certificates. Irrespective of which injections they are, vaccine certificates are mutually recognized,” Koca said on July 7 after a meeting of the Health Ministry’s Science Board.
Turkey has been using the vaccines developed by Pfizer/BioNTech and the Chinese company Sinovac in its vaccine drive which was rolled out in mid-January.
“The type of injection is not a matter of choice for vaccine certificates. We are one of the leading countries with respect to producing those certificates,” the minister added.
He noted that most developed countries have written certificates, whereas Turkey keeps those documents in all digital platforms. “We are expecting the countries with which we have an agreement to integrate to this system,” Koca said.
As far as the inoculation efforts is concerned, the minister stressed that the main item on the country’s agenda is to achieve the highest vaccination rate.
“We have mobilized all human resources and energy for this.”
Koca, however, noted that some provinces are falling behind, while others are keeping up with the pace of the vaccination program, moving toward reaching social immunity.
If it is necessary, people will be vaccinated on the spot, where they are, the minister said.
“Locally and nationwide speaking, we are implementing a comprehensive [vaccination] program. We will make this program even more dynamic,” Koca added.
The ministers also informed that those, who had COVID-19, may have two doses of the vaccine if they want to, not only one dose as previously announced.
Authorities are closely watching developments in the world regarding the variants of COVID-19, informing the public and taking the necessary measures, he said.
Over 8 million doses of the coronavirus vaccines have been administered in the past 10 days, Koca said in a tweet on July 8. | medical |

Feel free to reach out to our team for more information and educational resources.
What is drug addiction?
Drug addiction is when a person uses a drug to an extent that it causes negative interference with their personal and professional life as well as has negative consequences for their mental and physical health. Symptoms of drug addiction include constant cravings for the substance and an inability to function or feel normal without it, whether physically or psychologically. There is a spectrum of drug addiction, but at any level, it is important to get help before it spins out of control.
Can you be an “alcoholic” if you only drink occasionally?
Not all alcoholics drink every day, or even on a regular basis. Alcoholism is defined as what happens when you do drink. If drinking causes problems at home or work or is diminishing your ability to remain mentally or physically healthy, it might be time to seek help.
What are some ways to identify if someone is under the influence of drugs or alcohol?
There are several warning signs of intoxication, with some of the most common being:
- Bloodshot eyes or dilated pupils
- Erratic gait
- Slurred speech
- Decreased motor skills
- Lack of personal hygiene
- Drastic weight loss or weight gain
- Overall sense of apathy or interest in activities
- Frequent lying or avoiding personal relationships
Is the person’s life being negatively influenced by their drug or alochol use? Answering that basic question is an initial indicator that you or someone you know may have a problem with substance dependancy.
What is withdrawal?
Withdrawal is characterized as a variety of symptoms that occur after someone abruptly ends their usage of a particular drug. In general, these symptoms occur because the body has become physiologically dependent on the substance and reacts to the sudden loss of their effects. While withdrawal symptoms vary from substance to substance and person to person, some of the most common ones are:
- Shaking or tremors
- Frequent aches and pains
- Irritability and anxiety
- Hot and cold flashes
- Inability to concentrate
How is withdrawal treated?
Treatment for withdrawal depends on the substance, but it may be treated by slowly weaning off of the drug. It can also be treated through the use of other drugs and natural remedies such as nutrient replacement. It should be noted that treatment for withdrawal is not the same as treatment for addiction.
How can I help someone who is suffering from addiction?
We’ve all heard the common phrase that “You can only help someone who wants to be helped.” That’s why the best attempt to help someone who may be under the influence needs to start by communicating with them. Though people that abuse drugs and alcohol may not always be honest about their habits, it’s important to attempt an honest conversation with anyone who may be suffering from addiction. Only then can you offer support and lead them to the right resources for recovery.

Like other professionals, however, nurses face a myriad of occupational hazards. And one of the most common injuries nurses suffer at work is chronic back pain.
If you sustain back injuries as a result of your work, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits. These payments are meant to take care of your treatment costs as well as other damages. But how exactly do these injuries happen?
Here are three common causes of back injuries among nurses.
1. Overuse and repetitive tasks
From lifting and repositioning patients to transferring them from one bed to the next, nurses perform a range of repetitive tasks while on duty. Over time, these tasks can strain your back leading to chronic pain.
2. Improper bending and lifting
As a nurse, you will likely bend over when attending to your patients or lifting equipment. Applying improper techniques while performing these tasks can lead to serious lower back pain over time.
3. Lack of rest
Sleep gives your muscles time to relax and rejuvenate. If you are working long shifts without rest, you will likely experience lower back pain among other injuries.
So how long do you have to pursue benefits if you are hurt at work
Every state has a time limit within which you must act following a work-related injury or illness. This is known as the statute of limitations period. In Louisiana, you have 30 days from the date of your diagnosis to notify your employer of your back injury and one year to bring your workers’ compensation claim.
Back pain can impact your movement and ability to perform your duties. If you develop chronic back pain that is attributable to your job, you need to consider pursuing workers’ compensation benefits. | medical |

Why settle for a large incision if you can have smaller incisions or no incision? Why have more pain if there is a less invasive approach? Why spend more time in the hospital and more time for recovery if you can go home the same day or next day and return to your favorite activities sooner? ( READ MORE )
For women who wish to preserve their fertility or preserve their uterus regardless of fertility issues, hysterectomy should be a last resort.
When fertility preservation is the goal, it is important for the gynecologist to know the number, sizes and exact positions of the fibroids in order to guide the best treatment. Fibroids that change the shape of the uterine cavity can decrease fertility and will be best detected using saline-infusion ultrasound, hysteroscopy (telescope looking into the uterine cavity) or MRI (most accurate).

Please see our Standard Aftercare for all of the day to day care procedures you need to follow as they are the same for genital piercings.
Risk factors with genital piercings
Please remember that a piercing is an open wound until you have reached the initial healing period. All activities with other people involving contact with the piercing put you at risk of sexually transmitted infections and safer sex practices should be followed.
Sexual activity with genital piercings
While you do not have to completely abstain from all sexual activity, including masturbation, during the healing time we do recommend taking a break as any stress on the area could cause tearing.
When you return to sexual activities, we recommend you go slow as the tissue is fragile during the healing period and tearing can occur; it is not a “hurts so good scenario”. Certain positions will be comfortable and others will not. If you feel any discomfort due to friction or sharp pain from impact it is best to change position or refrain from the activity.
Bleeding and bruising with genital piercings
Genital piercings tend to have more bleeding than other piercings. You can expect to see quite more bleeding during the first few days and then small amounts up to the first week and a half or so. We recommend wearing menstrual pads during this time to avoid any accidents. In addition, fluid barrier liners for your mattress and using older, darker sheets, as well as wearing older darker underwear are recommended. Nighttime erections with Prince Albert piercings tend to cause more bleeding.
Bruising does not always happen with any piercings, but you can expect to see it.
Dry the skin
While it is mentioned in our Standard Aftercare, it is worth emphasizing here that you should ensure the skin is kept dry. When our climate gets humid, we can see issues with piercings due to the excess humidity. Drying the area with gauze throughout the day can help avoid these issues
Good hydration is great at all times for wound healing and for piercings through the urethra frequent urination can help even more.
Jewelry may feel like it sticks to the skin at times and can feel pinchy. We recommend using a sterile water-based lubricant to help with this.
If you cannot avoid swimming with penile piercings, a condom could be worn and secured with an elastic band to help keep water out. | medical |

• The labor-related share is 75.400 percent (i.e. 75.4% of the per diem rate is adjusted by the hospital’s wage index)
• The ECT rate is $286.60 (add-on for ECT shock treatment)
As before, the Medicare Cost Report of the hospital will impact the outlier calculation.

The Federal Register for the wage indices, adjustment factors for diagnosis, age, and day of inpatient stay begins at page 23106.
CMS has announced that the Medicare Fee Schedule for physician services has been updated to apply a 2.2% increase for dates of service June 1, 2010 through November 30, 2010, rescinding the negative 21% fee schedule that was in place. (CMS Newsroom — June 25, 2010)

How does Medicare cost reporting impact us?
1 The federal government looks at cost reports to estimate profits and losses of hospitals , SNFs, Home Health Agencies, etc.
2. Providers can claim reimbursement for Medicare bad debt on their Medicare cost report for uncollectible copays and deductibles.
3. Outlier payments for expensive cases are based upon your facility-specific cost report. This would be true for both a Medicaid hospital and home health agency.
4. States base their Medicaid reimbursement upon the Medicaid cost report, but often the Medicaid auditors look to the Medicare cost report to determine how to treat certain costs or allocations found on the Medicaid report. Sometimes this Medicaid information is recorded on the Medicare cost report itself instead of a separate cost report just for Medicaid.
5. There are still elements of cost reimbursement for different health care providers. In the case of a SNF, there is still cost reimbursement of the fees of a physician who attends a Utilization Review committee, to the extent that his review relates to Medicare patients. In the case of a hospital, there is still cost reimbursement for costs related to a Nursing School or a Paramedic Education program.
6. Hospitals that receive special State subsidies for treating charity care and indigent patients are subject to a cap (known as DSH cap). The cap limits subsidies reimbursement for uncompensated costs of care of the Medicaid and other indigent patients based upon the Medicare cost report. This cap is calculated using perdiem costs and cost-to-charge ratios taken from the Medicare cost report.
7. Payment rates for hospitals and SNFs are adjusted for different locations per that location’s wage index. The wage index is based currently on hospital cost reports.
8. There are still some entities that receive cost reimbursement for all the care, such as Critical Access Hospitals.
INDIRECT MEDICAL EDUCATION (IME) PAYMENTS are payments for extra costs of additional diagnostics, etc. by using residents and interns in a teaching hospital, who are less experienced than doctors. The IME payment is calculated in teh Medicare cost report of the hospital. A CMS summary of this can be found here.
GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION (GME) PAYMENTS are payments for training residents and interns in a teaching hospital. The GME payment is calculated in the Medicare cost report of the hospital. A CMS summary of this can be found here.
DSH – Hospitals serving a large population of indigent patients may receive a DSH bonus to their Medicare payments. This Medicare DSH payment is calculated in the Medicare cost report of the hospital. This is summarized by CMS in the following summary.
Hospitals can receive bonus payments above the DRG payment for outliers. Outliers are payments for very expensive cases. A CMS summary of this can be found here.
There is a cap on Medicare reimbursement for inpatient hospice care days, and also a cap for an average payment per beneficiary. Palmetto’s website has a nice summary of these caps and a calculator to calculate overpayments due to these caps. It can be found here. | medical |

The sufferers are not only limited to those older than 50. It may be experienced by healthy and young individuals.
The truth is that anyone, ranging from a teen to a man in his senior years, can have penile curvatures. Many men have had an accident and because the injury was not treated, the curvature remained.
But there are some whose penis has had this condition since birth or since puberty.
Define Penile Curvatures
It’s when there are one or several fibrous plaques/scars along the penis length, typically on the upper side or underneath it. The penis could have a 10° to 45° angle. It could be so extreme that the penis looks like the letter J.
It can’t be denied that finding a treatment for penile curvatures is quite complicated.
You don’t want to just leave it alone but then there are risks from undergoing surgery. It may lead to worse damage to the penis.
What sufferers really want to hear is an assurance that the procedure will enable them to experience sex as a pleasurable act again. They want to be sure that the curvature won’t come back.
What Are The Possible Solutions?
For the safe treatment of curvatures, scientists have come up with technological advances that led to development of various penile devices that could treat Peyronie’s disease and make curvatures less obvious.
Have you heard of penis extenders? These devices, which are widely available on the internet, were initially developed to lessen penis curvatures. However, it was discovered from the trials that the devices added inches to the penis.
One example is the SizeGenetics Male Traction Device.
The research paper of Wendy Hurn, a specialist of urology, found that SizeGenetics can correct penile curvature and is a true alternative to going under the knife.
Her research paper is titled ‘Treatment of Penile Retraction in Evolutive Peyronie’s Disease with External Penis-Stretching’.
She made a survey of 22 males (aged from 18 to 78 years old) who had Peyronie’s disease. She grouped them into two. In one group, their penis length stretched by less than 12.5cm while the other group had their penises adding more than 12.5cm to the length.
Both groups were told to use the SizeGenetics device for five hours each day for three months. Hurn measured their penis length at the end of the period. Their penises grew by 0.8-2.3cm on average. Their penile curvatures were also reduced by as much as 20%.
She concluded that Peyronie’s disease can be effectively treated by penis-stretching, particularly when there’s severe penile retraction.
Others have come to the same findings.
The International Journal of Impotence Research released a study titled ‘Can An External Penis Stretcher Reduce Peyronie’s Penile Curvature’, where it was determined that of the eight men in their 50’s who they have asked to use the penis stretcher for a minimum of 4 hours every day for three to six months, all of them had 14° decreases in the curvature from 34° to 20° without sensing any pain or discomfort.
In addition, Paolo Gontero made a study titled ‘Use of Penile Extender Device in the Treatment of Penile Curvature as a Result of Peyronie’s Disease’. He determined that patients’ curvatures of 31° to 27° decreased in the months that they wore the penis stretcher. After a year, the penises were still in their reduced state.
How Do The Devices Work?
Basically, penis extenders like SizeGenetics use a technique comparable to the effects of orthopaedic surgery.
By applying a traction force to the copora cavernosa, cells are distanced from the wall and as a result, they replicate. When these cells accumulate, the penis increases in length.
Because of its 58 way comfort design and by using Medical Type 1 materials, the device can be worn the entire day without any blood flow loss, any skin peeling off, or pain.
Can The Curvature Be Treated by the Devices?
All studies say that the devices are effective in treating curvature. After six months of using a top-quality device, there’s a significant reduction in the curvature. Choose the device that is backed by trials, studies, and plenty of doctors around the world. | medical |
