The Psychology Behind Unethical Behavior
Content: But the mind needs resolution. So, over time, you stop noticing when offensive language becomes the norm or you start to behave in ways that you would never have expected to be part of your repertoire. Cultural numbness is where I have seen the most severe breakdowns in ethical leadership because it’s so hard to detect. Leaders who have crossed a line never describe this as a clear choice on that path but as wandering down a muddy road, where there they lost track of what was right and wrong. They describe a process where they became numb to others’ language and behavior and then to their own and lost their sense of objectivity. In essence, their warning bells simply stopped ringing. So, start looking out for signs of moral capture : those brief moments when you don’t recognize yourself and any other indications that you are subjecting your own personal agency to the deviant norms of the collective. Another regular gut-check you can use involves asking whether you would be comfortable telling a journalist or a judge about what’s going on. At the same time, you can’t always trust yourself in these situations. | https://hbr.org/2019/04/the-psychology-behind-unethical-behavior |

Content: But it’s also created an environment where information and communication never cease. Researchers estimate that our brains process five times as much information today as in 1986. Consequently, many of us live in a continuous state of distraction and struggle to focus. To counter this, find time each day to unplug and step back from email, social media, news, and the onslaught of the Information Age. It’s easier said than done, but doable if you make it a priority.

Lack of input. The Kellogg School recently found that in a typical meeting, an average of three people do 70% of the talking. As author Susan Cain articulates so well in her book Quiet, many introverts are reluctant to speak up in a meeting until they know precisely what they want to say. Yet, these members of our teams often have some of the best ideas to contribute, since they spend so much of their time thinking. To counter this inclination, send out a meeting agenda 24 hours in advance to give everyone time to think about their contributions, and work to set a meeting culture that allows people to contribute their ideas after the meeting is over. | https://hbr.org/2019/08/6-reasons-we-make-bad-decisions-and-what-to-do-about-them |

Multi-tasking. There aren’t many jobs left in the world today that don’t require at least some multi-tasking. While that’s the reality, research clearly shows that performance, including decision-making effectiveness, suffers by up to 40% when we focus on two cognitive tasks at the same time. When you need to make important decisions, carve out and commit to several blocks of time during the day to focus deeply on the task at hand.

There’s a lot of talk about gender bias, racial bias, and culture bias at work, and each are important for many reasons. But perhaps one of the biggest and most problematic types of bias we face is the bias of age: we often evaluate people based on their age, and this is now becoming a major challenge in the workplace. Several years ago, through our research for Deloitte, we asked around 10,000 companies, “Is age a competitive advantage or competitive disadvantage in your organization?” The answer probably won’t surprise you. | https://hbr.org/2019/09/the-case-for-hiring-older-workers |

There’s a lot of talk about gender bias, racial bias, and culture bias at work, and each are important for many reasons. But perhaps one of the biggest and most problematic types of bias we face is the bias of age: we often evaluate people based on their age, and this is now becoming a major challenge in the workplace. Several years ago, through our research for Deloitte, we asked around 10,000 companies, “Is age a competitive advantage or competitive disadvantage in your organization?” The answer probably won’t surprise you. Over two-thirds of the companies considered older age a competitive disadvantage. This is consistent with data from the AARP that shows two-thirds of individuals age 45 to 74 have experienced age-related discrimination. In other words, if you are older, you are likely to be considered less capable, less able to adapt, or less willing to roll up your sleeves and do something new than your younger peers. Much has been written about this recently, because the workforce is aging at a rapid rate. People age 60 and over are projected to outnumber children under the age of five within the next year, and by 2025 we expect 25% of workers in the U.S. and the UK to be over the age of 55. | https://hbr.org/2019/09/the-case-for-hiring-older-workers |

That Discomfort You’re Feeling Is Grief
HBR: People are feeling any number of things right now. Is it right to call some of what they’re feeling grief?
You said we’re feeling more than one kind of grief?
What can individuals do to manage all this grief?
When we’re feeling grief there’s that physical pain. And the racing mind. Are there techniques to deal with that to make it less intense?
One particularly troubling aspect of this pandemic is the open-endedness of it.
What do you say to someone who’s read all this and is still feeling overwhelmed with grief?
In an orderly way?
Content: Fighting it doesn’t help because your body is producing the feeling. If we allow the feelings to happen, they’ll happen in an orderly way, and it empowers us. Then we’re not victims. In an orderly way? Yes. Sometimes we try not to feel what we’re feeling because we have this image of a “gang of feelings.” If I feel sad and let that in, it’ll never go away. The gang of bad feelings will overrun me. The truth is a feeling that moves through us. We feel it and it goes and then we go to the next feeling. | https://hbr.org/2020/03/that-discomfort-youre-feeling-is-grief |

With the U.S. economy expected to gather steam this year as more and more Americans are vaccinated, one of the biggest cautions to consider is whether supply chains will be able to keep up with growing demand. Indeed, concerns about disruptions to supply chains and shortages that have occurred during the pandemic sparked the Biden administration to order a review of critical areas. A major example is semiconductors. Lead times for many semiconductors are one year out right now, and these devices are in just about everything we use. Business and financial media have detailed how the shortage of semiconductors has caused production cutbacks in the automotive industry: Ford, Toyota, Nissan, VW, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (now a part of Stellantis) are among global carmakers that have scaled back output. Other carmakers have announced they’ll likely miss their 2021 targets. | https://hbr.org/2021/02/why-were-in-the-midst-of-a-global-semiconductor-shortage |

Other carmakers have announced they’ll likely miss their 2021 targets. And it’s not just carmakers that are in trouble. The chip shortages are expected to cause widespread shortages of everything, from electronics to medical devices to technology and networking equipment. As recently reported by Reuters, automakers and medical device manufacturers have asked the Biden administration to subsidize construction of new U.S. semiconductor manufacturing capacity. And in response to the shortages, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturer, has increased its 2021 capital spending budget to $28 billion. But funding and building a new semiconductor fab is at least a five-year process. | https://hbr.org/2021/02/why-were-in-the-midst-of-a-global-semiconductor-shortage |

But funding and building a new semiconductor fab is at least a five-year process. To a great extent, the chip shortage has been a ticking time bomb, building since late last year due to a few (unrelated) supply-chain disruptions. When the Covid-19 pandemic caused a precipitous drop in vehicle sales in spring 2020, automakers cut their orders of all parts and materials — including the chips needed for functions ranging from touchscreen displays to collision-avoidance systems. Then in the third quarter, when demand for passenger vehicles rebounded, chip manufacturers were already committed to supplying their big customers in consumer electronics and IT. Geopolitical factors also played a role, specifically when the Trump administration began tightly regulating sales of semiconductors to Huawei Technologies, ZTE, and other Chinese firms. Those companies began stockpiling chips essential to 5G smartphones and other products. | https://hbr.org/2021/02/why-were-in-the-midst-of-a-global-semiconductor-shortage |

At the same time, American firms were cut off from chips made by China’s Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation after the federal government blacklisted the firm. In July, a fire at a Japanese factory cut off supplies of special fiberglass used for printed circuit boards. Then in October, a fire at a Japanese plant belonging to Asahi Kasei Microdevices took advanced sensing devices used in automotive and other industries out of circulation. As of late February, the plant was still down. As if all these disruptions weren’t enough, there have also been constraints in the global transportation system. | https://hbr.org/2021/02/why-were-in-the-midst-of-a-global-semiconductor-shortage |

As of late February, the plant was still down. As if all these disruptions weren’t enough, there have also been constraints in the global transportation system. According to Clear Metal, which monitors over 90% of ocean freight, nearly 7% of ocean freight is not making it out of China ports this quarter. Shortages of shipping containers resulted in companies having to pay premiums for shipping and drove demand towards airfreight. But the airfreight system has been experiencing higher demand due to global shipments of the Covid-19 vaccine even as its capacity has been reduced due to the pandemic-related drop in passenger travel, which has meant that there are fewer passenger planes available to carry freight. In fact, global air-cargo capacity in first quarter of 2021 is 25% less than last year . The grounding of the Boeing 777 fleet with Pratt & Whitney engines following the failure of an engine on a plane over Colorado has further exacerbated capacity constraints. | https://hbr.org/2021/02/why-were-in-the-midst-of-a-global-semiconductor-shortage |

Different types of cancer affect populations differently: the highest rates of stomach cancer are found in East Asia, for example, and Eastern Europe has the highest death rate from lung cancer. Environmental and genetic factors affect cancer rates. The American Cancer Society released statistics for the United States in 2011: lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among men and women, primarily due to cell damage induced from smoking cigarettes. Other cancers do not affect men and women equally: esophageal cancer is more common in men than women. While men and women both get breast cancer, the rates of breast cancer are remarkably lower for men than women. It doesn't rate in the top ten cancers for men, but is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women. | https://healdove.com/disease-illness/Cancer-Treatment-Biotechnology |

How the death of a parent can change our priorities
Ongoing triggers for grief
Content: One after-effect of the loss of a parent is the potential for positive change in the aftermath of grief. Ongoing triggers for grief
Long-term challenges to manage during bereavement are “ grief triggers .” Many things can trigger a return to intense grief — expected things like a birthday, a holiday or the anniversary of your parent’s death. Or more subtle experiences like seeing clothing once worn by him or her, catching a scent of perfume, or smelling a particular food being cooked. A common trigger can also be the death of another relative or friend, or a pet…even “secondhand” grief. Someone you might not know well dies, yet this may trigger your grief again. All of this is normal, expected, and something you should allow yourself to feel; do not judge yourself for reacting or not reacting to any of these triggers. Developmental issues can also trigger grief, especially for children or adolescents — when a girl has to start high school without her mom or when a boy turns sixteen and realizes he doesn’t have his dad to teach him how to drive. Or when a wedding is being planned and there is no father to walk down the aisle with or mother to dance with. | https://healgrief.org/grieving-the-death-of-a-parent/ |

Healing is a moment-to-moment experience. It's one reason we need time and space — to digest all that happens. Read these poems about healing and give yourself that gift of grace, of patience, of wonder, of thanks. For writing to be healing, it must speak of and from the wound. Not because it's caged by the wound but because it wants to better understand the wound, to shed some light on it. From there, you rise. 4 Poems about Healing

Content: Young children may know not to wet their underwear. But that’s not the same as having the discipline to take themselves to the bathroom. If your child is only urinating two or three times per day, that’s not enough. Holding urine too long can cause urinary tract infections, especially in girls. Kids should urinate five or six times per day, she says — about every two to three hours. Chronic holders may also have more issues with daytime wetting (enuresis). About 15% of 5-year-olds struggle with it, says Cesa. Most often, daytime wetting is a behavioral problem caused by bad toileting habits — and potentially brought on by early potty training. Children who hold urine often hold stool as well, causing constipation. Constipation can cause bladder issues and inhibit potty training as well. | https://health.clevelandclinic.org/2014/12/what-to-do-when-your-potty-trained-child-suddenly-isnt/ |

Content: Watch for these milestones to measure your potty progress: Peeing in the potty is usually the first potty training win. As they master this skill, continue to use diapers between bathroom trips. Pooping in the potty takes longer because bowel movements are scary for some kids. Kids can have a bowel movement once a day or every other day. Your child shouldn’t be physically uncomfortable. If you suspect constipation, make sure your child gets enough fruits, veggies and water and limit dairy. Staying dry all day — woo-hoo! — can take a few weeks to a few months.

Content: Lactose intolerance symptoms can start in late childhood or adolescence, and can become more noticeable into adulthood. Aside from the discomfort associated with these symptoms, lactose intolerance is a nonthreatening disorder with no long-term complications. Symptoms can be avoided by limiting certain foods in your child’s diet. Suggested by Cleveland Clinic
Your Practical Guide to Lactose Intolerance
How lactose intolerance develops
Lactose intolerance can develop in three different ways: Acquired lactose intolerance
Lactase activity in the small intestine naturally declines after infancy. The National Institutes of Health estimates that as many as two-thirds of people aren’t able to fully digest lactose beyond childhood. Primary lactase deficiency
Rarely, babies are born with a complete absence of the lactase enzyme. These babies develop severe diarrhea while on breast milk, forcing them to require special formulas. This is a recessive trait, so the baby must acquire one abnormal gene from each parent to have the symptoms. Advertising Policy
Secondary lactose intolerance
Someone can develop a temporary intolerance after an infection that causes irritation of the digestive tract, such as rotavirus or giardiasis. | https://health.clevelandclinic.org/5-cant-miss-signs-child-lactose-intolerant/ |

Secondary lactose intolerance
Someone can develop a temporary intolerance after an infection that causes irritation of the digestive tract, such as rotavirus or giardiasis. Patients often first have nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, then continue to have diarrhea when consuming lactose-containing foods for some time after the infection has cleared. Celiac disease, a digestive disorder that causes damage to the small intestine when gluten is ingested, can also be associated with temporary lactose intolerance. Those with celiac disease can tolerate lactose-containing foods once the intestinal lining heals after going on a strict gluten-free diet. Crohn’s disease, an inflammatory disorder of the bowel, also can be associated with lactose intolerance. This often improves once adequate treatment is in place. | https://health.clevelandclinic.org/5-cant-miss-signs-child-lactose-intolerant/ |

Content: In America, 44 percent of black men and nearly 48 percent of black women have some form of heart disease, including heart disease and stroke. Chronic conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes and obesity increase the risk for heart disease and affect African-Americans disproportionately: Hypertension affects 45 percent of African-American men and 45 percent of African-American women compared with 35 percent of white men and 32 percent of white women. Diabetes is found in 13 percent of African-Americans compared with 8 percent of white Americans. Obesity affects 48 percent for African-Americans compared with 35 percent of white Americans. Theories about the increased risk
Why such issues have affected the African-American community in such a lopsided way is not clearly understood, according to Dr. Kirksey. “ The reason behind the increased prevalence of heart disease in African-Americans is multifactorial. Identifying the leading factor is somewhat controversial,” he says. Advertising Policy
Doctors suspect that genetic, environmental and social factors are at play. “Heart disease has a genetic component, which is probably activated by certain social or environmental risk factors, including stress, diet and exercise,” Dr. Kirksey explains. | https://health.clevelandclinic.org/heart-disease-reducing-risks-for-african-americans/ |

And, yet, not everyone feels that way. Despite openness from many, there still exists a stigma around the topic of mental health that prevents many from acknowledging the effects of mental health and potential treatments. With 1 in 5 Americans facing mental health issues each year, it’s important to understand where this stigma comes from and how we can push back against it. We talked to psychiatrist Douglas McLaughlin, DO, about the history of the stigma around mental health and what can be done to scale it back. The stigma’s roots
It’s important, Dr. McLaughlin says, to understand the history of how the world has viewed mental health when thinking about the stigma surrounding it. Cultural understanding
“Culture and society has always been fascinated by mental health,” he points out. “ There are so many books on this topic and those who dealt with issues: composers, artists, even whole books that put Shakespeare’s plays and characters in the context of mental health. But despite that interest, people with mental health issues didn’t always receive the care they needed. “ We mistreated people, we misunderstood people and we didn’t have good treatment options,” says Dr. McLaughlin. | https://health.clevelandclinic.org/understanding-and-getting-past-the-mental-health-stigma/ |

What is resilience? Resilience is an individual’s ability to positively cope with stress and adversity – bouncing back to a previous state of normal functioning, or using the experience of adversity to enhance flexibility and overall functioning. Resilience has multi-dimensional aspects (Wong, 2012) including: Cognitive: How events are interpreted (cognitive style, appraisal, attribution) and how daily stressors and life circumstances are negotiated (coping)
Behavioral: Habits of persistence and endurance in face of obstacles and failures (behavioral practice and reinforcement)
Motivational: Clear sense of life purpose and commitment (will to live)
Existential/spiritual: Sense of larger purpose and meaning of human life (meaning and life purpose)

Can an emergency room refuse to treat you?
Content: Try shrugging your shoulders at the pub next time they demand $3.50 for your pint. Because at the emergency room, they're obligated to give you urgent care should you need it. Kind of. Advertisement
Turns out the question of whether emergency rooms have to treat you is not a clear yes or no — like a lot of health care-related questions in the United States. At the crux of the issue is the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA), a federal law that seems to dictate that all people who enter an emergency room with an emergency must be treated. But don't run to your nearest emergency department in hopes of a free dose of codeine for your troublesome cold. The EMTALA was passed in 1986, and it doesn't mean walking into the emergency room guarantees you care. Instead, it makes clear that those with an actual emergency (i.e., not your stubborn sinus infection) must be treated and in a stable condition before they can be transferred. Transferred, you say? Why can't those in an emergency just be kept at the hospital they walked into? | https://health.howstuffworks.com/medicine/can-emergency-room-refuse-to-treat.htm |

Background Facts: Bee Sting Therapy and MS
By: DiscoveryHealth.com writers
For centuries, honey, bee pollen, and bee venom have been used to treat a number of ailments that vary between chronic pain to skin conditions. Apitherapy, or the medical use of honeybee products that range from royal jelly to bee venom, was used by the ancient Egyptians as a homeopathic remedy for arthritis. Today, bee venom therapy, or bee sting therapy, has captured the attention of medical science as a potential homeopathic remedy for multiple sclerosis (MS) symptoms. Bee venom therapy (BVT), or apitherapy, uses the stings of live bees to relieve symptoms of MS such as pain, loss of coordination, and muscle weakness. Stinging is not limited to any specific area of the body, as stings in different places seem to produce different results. Apitherapy researchers suggest that certain compounds in bee venom, namely melittin and adolapin, help reduce inflammation and pain, and that the combination of all the "ingredients" in bee venom somehow helps the body to release natural healing compounds in its own defense. Advertisement
Given the fact that no major studies on BVT have been done so far, it is estimated that only about 50 U.S. physicians use it to treat MS or other diseases. | https://health.howstuffworks.com/medicine/tests-treatment/bee-sting-therapy-and-ms.htm |

Given the fact that no major studies on BVT have been done so far, it is estimated that only about 50 U.S. physicians use it to treat MS or other diseases. And the evidence that BVT helps MS patients, although encouraging, remains anecdotal. Despite this, of the more than 250,000 cases of multiple sclerosis nationwide, thousands of patients are said to use bee venom as an alternative approach to the interferon, corticosteroids, and other drugs typically used. Word on BVT has spread to where the American Apitherapy Society says there are about 10,000 people providing this therapy - apitherapists, beekeepers, and acupuncturists, as well as those with no health background. Some patients even treat themselves. But the lack of medical training among most practitioners and the risk of dangerous allergic reactions to the treatment have raised concerns about BVT among the medical establishment. | https://health.howstuffworks.com/medicine/tests-treatment/bee-sting-therapy-and-ms.htm |

Nonetheless, bee venom therapy has generated enough "buzz" that Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., has begun a one-year preliminary study, funded by the Multiple Sclerosis Association of America, to research apitherapy as a potential treatment. In the end, researchers hope to settle the debate whether bee venom should be considered a serious treatment for MS. Advertisement

Content: It isn't hard to walk through life with unchallenged or outdated beliefs, preconceptions, wrong assumptions and a personal narrative that's badly in need of updating. Many people are afraid of acknowledging and exploring their own thoughts and emotions, choosing instead to focus on life outside their own skin -- the needs of others, career goals that have been set, and the constant static of the Information Age. Focusing on self-awareness can help you reconnect with your true needs, desires and dreams. It can make you pay attention to how you treat people and how you feel about how you're treated by others. Advertisement
It may seem almost indulgent to work toward becoming more self-aware, but if so, there's nothing wrong with splurging on yourself. Increased self-awareness can facilitate major life changes -- many 12-step programs place large emphasis on personal exploration, the processing of painful events from the past, and the acknowledgment of resentments and fears in order to overcome personal demons and addictions. Identifying your moods and emotions will make it possible to adjust them. You can't change the way you think until you understand what's causing you to think the way you do.

In the first weeks after conception, the single cell rapidly divides into many cells. A hollow ball of cells is formed and becomes attached to the wall of the uterus (womb). Some of the cells become the placenta; the rest become the embryo. The latter group of cells develops into a four-layered disk. Each layer is converted into different areas of the body. The outer layer, or ectoderm, for example, develops into skin, hair, nails, and the nervous system. The inner layer, or endoderm, develops into the intestines and lungs. The middle layers develop into the heart, bones, and muscles. By three weeks after fertilization, or about one week after the first period is missed, the embryo is 1/10 inch long and has an oval shape. | https://health.howstuffworks.com/pregnancy-and-parenting/pregnancy/fetal-development/how-a-fetus-grows1.htm |

By the fourth week after fertilization, traces of all the organs of the body are present. Bulges that will become the ears and nose appear. The gut is formed from blind pouches within the embryo; these pouches push forward, creating an opening in the head that will become the mouth. A crude face begins to take shape. At this point, the embryo is only 1/4 inch long. The embryo is called a fetus at the seventh to eighth week. It has grown to a length of one inch. The head is disproportionately large because of the size of the developing brain, while the abdomen seems large because of the growing liver. Fingers and toes appear. | https://health.howstuffworks.com/pregnancy-and-parenting/pregnancy/fetal-development/how-a-fetus-grows1.htm |

Content: Your nail plate can also separate from your nail bed if it's slammed between two things, such as a door and a doorframe, or if you have a condition that causes it to fall off, such as a fungal infection. Nails may also be more prone to breakage if you have nail psoriasis, if you use chemicals like acetone to remove nail polish or if you take certain medications or are undergoing chemotherapy [source: Van Houten ]. Both nail tearing and nail separation can be painful, and they don't heal quickly -- you have to wait for them to grow back. But there are a few simple steps you can take to help the nail grow back and to prevent tearing and separating your nails in the future. Read on to learn what you can do to help heal your torn or separated nail. Advertisement
Treating Torn Nails
The best way to treat a torn nail is to give it time to grow back. You can help make sure it grows back safely, and you can also take steps at home to reduce pain and discomfort as it grows. You have a few options for treating a torn nail: You can tape the torn part back into position and then trim it off as the nail begins to grow, or you can clip off the torn portion right away at a slight outward angle so the nail grows back normally. | https://health.howstuffworks.com/skin-care/nail-care/tips/treat-a-torn-nail.htm |

Content: These blanket assumptions arise in part from what social scientists call the psychologist's fallacy: judging another person's state of mind based on your own experiences and perspectives [source: Blackwell ]. For example, a 40-year old may think his 75-year-old mother will be happy to move in with his family after his father has died. She won't have to worry about keeping up a big, empty house -- and you know how she loves the grandkids. His mother may see it as losing her home and independence, and being tied down with babysitting. On the other hand, the 40-year-old and the 75-year-old might find a lot of common ground -- they'll never know until they sit down and talk about it. Over the next 10 pages, we'll try to clarify some of the misconceptions surrounding aging. Our first stereotype looks at what retiring means for today's older adults. Contents

Far from the stereotypical image of being technophobic, sedentary TV watchers, today's older adults are taking advantage of opportunities to stay mentally and physically engaged. For example, in 2010 alone, almost 100,000 people explored international cultures through Elderhostel, an organization that offers enriching travel and educational programs for older adults throughout the world [source: Elderhostel ].

Some people treat older adults like antique autos: They can handle a Sunday drive in the park, but you wouldn't try to get any real work out of them. In other words, they were useful in their prime, but no longer. Nothing could be farther from the truth. With years of personal skills and professional expertise, older adults are a highly valued volunteer force. Senior Corps, for example, boasts 500,000 members ages 55 and up, meeting community needs that range from mailing newsletters for nonprofits to fostering hard-to-place children [source: Senior Corps ]. | https://health.howstuffworks.com/wellness/aging/aging-process/5-stereotypes-about-aging.htm |

Content: On the next page, we'll discuss how the generation that sang the '60s anthem "The Times They Are A-changin'" took those words to heart. Do less-industrialized societies treat the elderly better? One common belief held by industrialized societies is that cultures found in less developed parts of the world treat their elderly with reverence and respect. But cultures with harsh climates or living conditions actually provide less care for older adults who are disabled or have dementia [source: Holmes ]. Treatment of the elderly depends largely on their perceived usefulness to society. In hunter/gatherer cultures, for example, an older or infirm person is more likely to be denied care, even to the point that it hastens death. Elders are more likely to receive life-extending care in agricultural or industrialized societies. 7: As You Get Older, You Get More Set in Your Ways

Evidence from a number of fronts has shown that older adults are more open to change than the popular image might lead you to believe. For example, the number of people ages 65 and older who use Twitter nearly doubled from 2009 to 2010 [source: Madden ]. And more unmarried older couples are choosing cohabitation over marriage compared to previous generations, and even compared to today's younger couples. On a deeper level, older people tend to have high levels of mental resilience, which is the ability to accept and rebound from adversity [source: Berk ]. | https://health.howstuffworks.com/wellness/aging/aging-process/5-stereotypes-about-aging.htm |

The Fragrance Trade
In ancient times, as now, commonly used essential oils such as frankincense, eucalyptus, ginger, patchouli, and rosewood came from the furthest reaches of the globe. These vital components of religious ceremonies, medicine, food, cosmetics, and aphrodisiacs were in great demand and were more costly than precious metals and jewels. Although each region could produce clothing, shelter, and food from the resources in its immediate territory, people of all nations craved rare, exotic odors that literally added spice to their lives and lent an air of mystery to their ceremonies. The demand for aromatic materials, coupled with their portability, led to the establishment of long distance trade. Fortunately, seeds and herbs could be dried, gums rolled into beads, and fragrances infused in oil or solid perfumes while retaining or even improving their properties. This made them extremely portable and relatively impervious to damage. | https://health.howstuffworks.com/wellness/natural-medicine/aromatherapy/history-of-aromatherapy.htm |

Content: The profiles define adequate prenatal care as a score of 80% or greater on the Kotelchuck Index, or the sum of the Adequate and Adequate Plus categories. The Kotelchuck Index does not measure the quality of prenatal care. It also depends on the accuracy of the patient or health care provider's recall of the timing of the first visit and the number of subsequent visits. The Kotelchuck Index uses recommendations for low-risk pregnancies, and may not measure the adequacy of care for high-risk women. The Kotelchuck Index is preferable to other indices because it includes a category for women who receive more than the recommended amount of care (adequate plus, or intensive utilization). The rate of this number is per 100 live births where prenatal care adequacy using the Kotelchuck Index was known. Prenatal Medicaid
Number of resident live births to mothers participating in Medicaid during their pregnancy. The rate is per 100 resident live births with known Medicaid status. Medicaid status is acquired from the birth certificate. Prenatal WIC
Number of resident live births to mothers participating in WIC during their pregnancy. | https://health.mo.gov/data/mica/CDP_MICA/MICH_PreDefinitionofIndicators.html |

Lead Poisoning Information for Landlords
More than 70% of Rhode Island's housing has potential lead hazards that can poison children. The most prevalent lead exposure in Rhode Island comes from lead-based paint and paint dust found in residences built before 1978. Landlords are required to disclose lead hazards and maintain their properties to keep them safe. This includes correcting damaged, chipping or flaking paint immediately and following lead safe work practices for repairs. more Note that landlords with employees must also follow Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations. Tenants are responsible for keeping their rental units clean to reduce exposure to lead in paint, dust, and soil. more
What you should do
Disclose lead hazards to tenants and buyers
Rhode Island law requires owners of properties built before 1978 to disclose information about known and potential lead exposure hazards before the sale or lease of residential property. To comply with the law: Keep copies of all lead inspection reports and certifications for as long as you own your property and provide copies to potential tenants and buyers. | https://health.ri.gov/healthrisks/poisoning/lead/for/landlords/ |

Got Diabetes? Why You Must Protect Your Feet
Content: That’s why you start having issues with your eyes and kidneys and other parts of the body. And even though they have a lot of sugar, your body feels like you’re starving because it’s not going into the cells anywhere,” where it can be used. This creates symptoms of increased hunger and thirst and weight gain that are often associated with Type 2 diabetes. Although Type 2 diabetes has traditionally been rare in children, over the past 30 years or so, rates of this chronic disease have risen significantly among people under 19 years of age. A 2017 study in the New England Journal of Medicine found that between 2002 and 2012, rates of newly diagnosed cases of Type 2 diabetes in children aged 10 to 19 increased 4.8 percent each year. The increase was even steeper in certain ethnic groups – Native Americans had an 8.9 percent annual increase, Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders ticked upwards at 8.5 percent, and non-Hispanic blacks saw a 6.3 percent rise. Dr. Joseph Wanski, an endocrinologist with L.A. Care Health Plan, says the rising number of cases of Type 2 diabetes in children is related to America’s worsening weight problem. “ There is currently an obesity epidemic in the United States, as well as a significant increase in the diagnosis of diabetes or elevated blood sugars during pregnancy in recent decades.” This increase spells trouble for not only the individuals who develop Type 2 diabetes, but the whole of the population as a generation of children deals with the consequences of chronic disease, Shapiro says. “ If we continue this trend, it’s something that we’re not going to have enough people or money to take care of it. | https://health.usnews.com/conditions/diabetes/diabetes-in-children |

It’s that bad.” What Are the Risk Factors for Type 2 Diabetes in Children? There are a few risk factors that can increase the chances your child will develop Type 2 diabetes, and childhood obesity tops the list. “ The numbers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have shown that there is an epidemic of obesity in the U.S. population, and with the increased prevalence of obesity among different pediatric age groups, there’s been a corollary rise in prevalence of Type 2 diabetes,” Henry says.

No, 95 Percent of People Don’t Fail Their Diets

No, 95 Percent of People Don’t Fail Their Diets
More
I’m sure you’ve heard that stat bandied about – I even included a version of it in my book " The Diet Fix ," but where my book and I diverge from the general zeitgeist on dieting failure is that I don’t think 95 percent of people fail diets. I believe that 95 percent of diets fail people. As far as the source of that 95 percent statistic, the medical literature isn’t much help. While there have been a few small studies showing dramatic regain rates in line with the 95 percent mark, that number really doesn’t have an identifiable and conclusive origin. But even if it had, even if there were some massive meta-analysis that analyzed the weight regain rates of huge numbers of weight loss studies, I still wouldn’t believe it, because lumping together huge numbers of studies involving crappy, non-personalized diets would really only illuminate the rather obvious fact that crappy, non-personalized diets aren’t sustainable. For at least the past 100 years (and likely many more), dieting has been synonymous with suffering. It’s been “die” with a “t,” where adherents to diets have been instructed to either suffer through hunger and cultivate the skill of white-knuckled willpower, or to consider food to simply be fuel and deny themselves either the dietary indulgences they love the most or eliminate entire food groups. But food isn’t just fuel. As each and every one of us knows, food truly is comfort – it actually has a direct effect on our bodies’ stress hormone levels. | https://health.usnews.com/health-news/blogs/eat-run/2014/11/17/no-95-percent-of-people-dont-fail-their-diets |

Content: Sarcopenia – gradual muscle aging – is a natural process of aging, as is the loss of bone density, both of which can be reduced through strength training," Brennan says. " Strength training can help you maintain independence and continue doing the activities you love." [
See: Exercise Equipment for Seniors. ] "Use it or lose it" is the clear message, says Tami Peavy, a physical therapist and clinical director with La Mesa Rehab in La Mesa, California, and founder of PracticalTherapy4U in Los Angeles. " Simply by growing older, you lose muscle mass at the rate of up to 5% per decade after age 30," she says. " The good news is that with some simple strength training, you can reduce that loss and regain muscle mass." Other health benefits can follow. Strength training only once a week showed improved health markers with reduced inflammation, lower blood pressure and lower blood sugar levels among healthy older adults ages 65 to 75 in a study from Finland, published February 2019 in the journal Frontiers in Physiology. Luckily, virtually everyone is able to perform strength exercises, as long as they take into account their personal health rather than the number of candles on their birthday cake.

"Start small. Some is better than none, more is better than some," McHale says.

HIPAA: Protecting Your Health Information
Content: None of the 11.2 million undocumented immigrants who the government estimates are in the country are eligible for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. Neither are the 728,000 young unauthorized immigrants – commonly known as “Dreamers” – who are protected from deportation under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. A relatively small number of undocumented immigrants, perhaps in the tens of thousands, obtain health insurance through private employers. Unauthorized immigrants who are the victims of certain crimes – such as domestic violence – can apply for psychotherapy services they need in connection with that specific offense, says Yesenia Acosta, an immigration and employment attorney based in Los Angeles. [See: How to Find the Best Mental Health Professional for You .] Many undocumented immigrants who are college students have the option of obtaining health insurance through a student health plan. Many universities offer such plans for students who do not have insurance (some universities require students to have some form of insurance) and school officials typically do not require proof of immigration status. Five states – California, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York and Washington – and the District of Columbia offer health insurance coverage to undocumented children younger than 18. Unauthorized immigrants can also buy health insurance directly from brokers, but because they are not eligible for the subsidies provided under the Affordable Care Act, such insurance is usually prohibitively costly. | https://health.usnews.com/wellness/articles/2016-11-02/where-can-undocumented-immigrants-go-for-health-care |

Unauthorized immigrants can also buy health insurance directly from brokers, but because they are not eligible for the subsidies provided under the Affordable Care Act, such insurance is usually prohibitively costly. These health care options cover relatively few of the unauthorized immigrants in the country, says Daniel Ehlke, assistant professor of health policy and management at SUNY Downstate School of Public Health. To obtain health care, the vast majority of undocumented immigrants can turn to these resources for help: 1. Community health clinics. The nationwide network of about 1,400 community health clinics provides an array of basic health services, including basic dental care, to unauthorized immigrants. | https://health.usnews.com/wellness/articles/2016-11-02/where-can-undocumented-immigrants-go-for-health-care |

The nationwide network of about 1,400 community health clinics provides an array of basic health services, including basic dental care, to unauthorized immigrants. North County Health Services, which runs 13 health centers in northern San Diego County and one in Riverside County, California, provides treatment for diabetes, heart disease, cancer screenings, high blood pressure, tests for sexually-transmitted diseases and dental care. Officials at the health centers do not ask people for proof of immigration status, and they charge nominal fees, based on a sliding scale, for health care. Depending on the treatment and the patient’s income, officials at these clinics charge $25, $45 or $75 per service, says Irma Cota, chief executive officer of North County Health Services. The prices are slightly higher for dental care, which is more expensive.

For some undocumented patients, community and free clinics provide the only care available to battle a deadly disease. For example, Morena, a Salvadoran trans-woman, fled her native El Salvador in 2014 after gang members beat her twice to extort money from her and threatened her life. She arrived in the District of Columbia that year without documentation and began getting services at Whitman-Walker Health, a community health clinic in the city. | https://health.usnews.com/wellness/articles/2016-11-02/where-can-undocumented-immigrants-go-for-health-care |

Clearly, losing a job can become a major health issue, but there are some things you can do to limit its impact on your health while you look for your next job opportunity. Carefully review your financial situation. “ Understanding your spending habits and finding ways to ‘declutter’ your budget, knowing where and how money is coming out of your bank account can help someone make adjustments,” Phan says. And if getting rid of a few monthly subscriptions can help you keep up with exercise or health care needs, so much the better.

Content: Your goal? Lose no more than 1 to 2 pounds per week, according to White. While every person will need to cut calories and/or increase their activity levels slightly differently to lose weight at this rate, reducing caloric intake by 500 calories per day is a good place to start. 3. Strength Train at Least Three Times Per Week
"A lot of people who try to lose weight ramp up their cardiovascular activity. This can be beneficial but not if it replaces weight training," White says. Case in point: In one 2015 Harvard School of Public Health study of 10,500 adults, those who performed strength training gained less abdominal fat (while building more muscle) over a period of 12 years compared to those who spent the same amount of time dedicated to cardio. "We need to include at least two days of weight training a week to maintain existing muscle mass and three or more times a week to build muscle," White says. Focus on fitting in these workouts first and then you can start to think about adding the right cardio workouts to your routine. | https://health.usnews.com/wellness/fitness/articles/can-you-gain-muscle-while-losing-weight |

Content: Diet and lifestyle counseling tend to be labor-intensive," Katz says, "and the brief clinical visits that now prevail don't really allow for that." The reality is, it's not realistic to expect physicians to be experts on everything. " Most primary care physicians have seven to 22 minutes to spend with each patient," says Dr. Christine Gerbstadt, a staff physician at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, who is also a registered dietitian. That time includes "offering age- and patient-specific appropriate preventive health advice – wearing seat belts 100 percent of the time, not smoking, eating more fruits and vegetables, avoiding highly processed sugar- and fat-laden foods, being physically active an hour a day, flossing and brushing your teeth, reducing stress, sleeping adequately – the list is truly endless and must be exhausted in seven to 22 minutes, along with listening to the patient, offering guidance for recommended health screening and performing a focused physical exam," she says. That's a tall order, indeed. Another factor: The culture of current medicine, "which has increasingly focused on pharmacologic treatments, rather than lifestyle modifications," says Dr. Marion Vetter, an adjunct assistant professor of medicine in psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine who is also a registered dietitian. " Both patients and providers want to see rapid results, whether it is weight change or improvements in blood glucose or lipids. Dietary modifications and lifestyle changes typically involve a slow and steady approach instead of a fast fix. For this reason, patients frequently revert to previous behaviors and tend to make few durable lifestyle changes, which may discourage physicians from spending the time to provide dietary education." | https://health.usnews.com/wellness/food/articles/2016-12-07/how-much-do-doctors-learn-about-nutrition |

Content: 5. Lack of community. We live in stressful times. Our modern lifestyles highlight our hectic day-to-day routines, and that spills over into the lives of our children. With the go-go mentality, our community has dwindled, and as a result, our face-to-face connections have decreased. Our lives are becoming more structured and organized. Before we became a technologically reliant and fast-paced society, our kids engaged in more unstructured play, ate less processed foods and exercised on a daily basis, but those times are fading. Today’s kids report that they feel rushed to do things and pressured to be successful. Youth depression is a concern plaguing our nation, so much so that the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force has recommended that primary caregivers screen adolescents ages 12 to 18 for major depressive disorder.

To a cancer patient, it's the white blood cells that are the most important. When someone is originally diagnosed with cancer, their white blood cell count may be too high or too low (it depends on the type of cancer). Normal levels of white blood cell count are generally considered to be 5000 to 11,000 cells per cubic millimeter per liter. Low white blood cell count is less than 5000 cells per cubic millimeter per liter. High white blood cell count is 11,000 and above. #13

Normal white blood cell count is between 5,000 and 10,000 (5&10) however if you have an infection in your body, you will produce more white blood cells to try and combat the infection. I had a friend who was admitted to A&E as he had a severe pain near is spine/pelvis. His white blood cell count was 50,000 when they started the IV (antibiotic drip) next day the cell count went to 138,000 then down to 101,000 following day and then 65,000 today. He had an MRI scan that did not show anything they think it could have been an abscess near his spin/pelvis. In most cases if you have a high white cell count the hospital will do a white blood cell trace/tack to find out where your white cells are going and what they are attacking. They nurse will take some blood, send it to the lab and they will tag some of your white cell’s with small amount of radiation then inject the blood back into you, and under a x/ray system they can track the cell to see what is doing and what its attacking i.e. the infection. If you worried about having a high white cell count ask your doctor for a white blood cell trace this will find the issues straight away. #4

Critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) screening
CCHD is one of the conditions found through newborn screening. CCHD refers to a group of heart defects that can be serious and life-threatening. These defects can include structural problems in the heart or problems with blood flow in the heart. These problems range from mild to severe. CCHD is often treatable, if caught early. Screening must be done when the baby is at least 24 hours of age, or as late as possible if the baby will be discharged from the hospital before 24 hours of age. Healthcare professionals check for CCHD by using pulse oximetry (or "pulse ox"). Pulse oximetry is a painless, noninvasive test that measures the amount of oxygen in your baby's blood. | https://healthandwelfare.idaho.gov/Children/CriticalCongenitalHeartDisease(CCHD)/tabid/4392/Default.aspx |

Content: And, because the body knows to perspire less during chilly months to shield against the elements, the first sign of spring can feel balmy — or at least more pleasant — compared with the same mild temperature at the start of autumn, when a person has developed a tolerance for (and greater perspiration response to) heat. Adapting to change
Whether the mercury is falling or on the rise, it usually takes a person 10 to 20 days to adjust to a new season, Rittié says. The transition from winter to warmer months can be tougher because of the higher amount of energy required to keep cool, she says. SEE ALSO: How to Use Bedroom Lighting to Improve Sleep Quality
Drinking plenty of water to avoid dehydration as sweat patterns change can ease the transition. A year-round fitness routine can help sweat glands work properly, too. Such scenarios might be less applicable to the elderly, says Rittié, whose recent research found that functions of sweat glands decline with age. Still, those who don’t give their bodies a chance to work through mild discomfort — a person who in the summer relies on air conditioning at home, in the car and at work, for example — will ultimately have a worse time outdoors when temperatures fluctuate. Says Rittié: “ If somebody’s not acclimated, they’re just going to feel miserable.” | https://healthblog.uofmhealth.org/lifestyle/why-a-65-degree-day-feels-cold-fall-but-warm-spring |

What is the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA)? Created by FindLaw's team of legal writers and editors | Last updated July 31, 2018
Imagine taking a loved one to the hospital for an emergency only to be turned away because you can't afford the treatment or lack adequate health insurance coverage. You know they may not survive without immediate medical care. Can a hospital refuse to treat a patient simply based on that person’s ability to pay? Luckily, federal law known as “EMTALA” prohibits hospitals from doing so. What is EMTALA? The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, EMTALA, is known as the "anti-dumping" statute for its ban on patient dumping. Congress passed EMTALA in 1986 in response to a number of widely reported horror stories about emergency rooms turning away seriously ill or injured patients who had no insurance and no money to pay for treatment. Prior to EMTALA, there was no requirement that hospitals treat everyone who came to the emergency room and, in many states, hospitals were not held responsible for damages caused by their refusal to treat patients. | https://healthcare.findlaw.com/patient-rights/what-is-the-emergency-medical-treatment-and-labor-act-emtala.html |

EMTALA applies to all hospitals that have emergency rooms and participate in the Medicare program. Since almost all hospitals, public and private, receive Medicare funds, nearly all hospitals are covered by EMTALA. What Actions Must a Hospital Take Under EMTALA? EMTALA imposes two essential obligations on hospitals: 1. Appropriate Medical Screening Examination
When a person seeks treatment at a hospital emergency room, the hospital must provide an appropriate medical screening examination (MSE) to determine whether an emergency medical condition (EMC exists). Generally, an EMC is a medical condition where failure to provide immediate medical attention could reasonably be expected to result in serious harm to bodily functions, serious damage of a bodily organ or part, or serious risk to the health of an individual and/or unborn child. | https://healthcare.findlaw.com/patient-rights/what-is-the-emergency-medical-treatment-and-labor-act-emtala.html |

Content: What Actions Must a Hospital Take Under EMTALA? EMTALA imposes two essential obligations on hospitals: 1. Appropriate Medical Screening Examination
When a person seeks treatment at a hospital emergency room, the hospital must provide an appropriate medical screening examination (MSE) to determine whether an emergency medical condition (EMC exists). Generally, an EMC is a medical condition where failure to provide immediate medical attention could reasonably be expected to result in serious harm to bodily functions, serious damage of a bodily organ or part, or serious risk to the health of an individual and/or unborn child. The hospital does not have an obligation under EMTALA to treat the patient if after the MSE the hospital determines there is no EMC. 2. Stabilization of Any Emergency Medical Condition
If the screening reveals an EMC, the hospital must treat the patient and "stabilize" the medical condition before transferring the patient to another hospital or discharging the patient from the emergency room. Under EMTALA, “stabilized” means that no significant worsening of the patient’s medical condition is likely to result because of a transfer or discharge.

Content: Suing a hospital under EMTALA is different than suing under state medical malpractice laws. EMTALA is not a substitute for suing for a wrong diagnosis or improper performance of a medical procedure. Generally, if a patient is properly given a MSE but misdiagnosed, the hospital has followed EMTALA but may be responsible for damages under state malpractice law. However, an inadequate MSE may still violate EMTALA. Many courts have concluded that an appropriate MSE is one that the hospital would have offered to any other patient with the same symptoms, regardless of whether the patient was insured or could pay for the medical screening. Therefore, a hospital violates the MSE requirement of EMTALA only when individuals who are perceived to have the same medical condition receive different treatment. Similarly, EMTALA’s stabilization requirement is intended only to regulate a hospital’s care of a patient immediately after admitting the patient for emergency care. Once a patient is admitted to the hospital and placed under the care of physicians, state medical malpractice law, not EMTALA, covers the actions of hospital and doctors. What Does a Patient Have to Prove in a Lawsuit? In a lawsuit brought under EMTALA, the patient must establish that the hospital treated them differently from other patients. | https://healthcare.findlaw.com/patient-rights/what-is-the-emergency-medical-treatment-and-labor-act-emtala.html |

Some courts have determined that in order to prove he or she did not receive an appropriate MSE, the patient must show there was an improper motive on the part of the hospital. That means, the decision as to what type of screening to provide was motivated by improper factors such as the inability to pay, race, or the sex of the patient. Is There a Penalty for Violating EMTALA? Depending on the facts of the case, hospitals or physicians that violate EMTALA are subject to fines and may lose Medicare provider agreements.

The Right to Treatment
If individuals do not carry health insurance, they are still entitled to hospital emergency care, including labor and delivery care, regardless of their ability to pay. The federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA), 42 U.S.C. § 1395, which is a separate section of the more comprehensive 1985 Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act (COBRA), mandates minimum standards for emergency care by hospital emergency rooms. The law requires that all patients who present with an emergency medical condition must receive treatment to the extent that their emergency condition is medically “stabilized,” irrespective of their ability to pay for such treatment. An emergency medical condition is defined under federal law as one that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain, psychiatric disturbance, and/or symptoms of substance abuse) such that the absence of immediate medical attention could reasonably be expected to result in the following: placing the health of the individual (or unborn child) in serious jeopardy
the serious impairment of a bodily function
the serious dysfunction of any bodily function or part
the inadequate time to effect a safe transfer of a pregnant woman to another hospital before delivery, or, that the transfer may pose a threat to the health or safety of the woman or unborn child
The law goes on to define “stabilization” as meaning “that no material deterioration of the condition is likely within reasonable medical probability to result from or occur during the transfer of the patient from a facility” (or discharge). However, once the emergency is over and a patient’s condition is stabilized, the patient can be discharged and refused further treatment by private hospitals and most public hospitals. If the individual seeks routine medical care or schedule a doctor’s appointment for non-emergency medical problems, doctors have a general right to refuse treatment if they have no insurance or any other means of paying for the provided care. There are numerous protections for HIV-positive and AIDS patients that prohibit hospitals and facilities from refusing treatment if the facility’s staff has the appropriate training and resources. However, most private physicians and dentists are under ethical but not legal obligations to provide treatment. Individuals also have a legal right to not be released prematurely from a hospital. | https://healthcare.uslegal.com/patient-rights/the-right-to-treatment/ |

Can I Build Tolerance to Heat?
TRANSCRIPT
Content: So you put one group into an area where they're going to exercise under heat conditions, around 37 degrees Celsius or 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. You have them exercise for 20 minutes and then have a 10-minute cool-down period, and you do this for 6 days, and they will tolerate passive heat exposure much better than somebody who exercises in the cold. So you can develop this. When you're exposed to heat, a couple of things happen to try to cool your body and adjust to the heat stress. One of those is, you start to hyperventilate and that will reduce blood flow to your brain. So you start to lose the amount of blood going to your brain. That's why people can get altered mental status with heat stroke. We call it heat stroke, not because they're actually having a stroke, but because, sort of like a stroke, their brain is deprived of essential nutrients and oxygen. So that occurs. You also have a diversion of blood flow toward the skin, so you sweat and also your skin heats up so you can radiate heat from the body and try to lose heat that way. | https://healthcare.utah.edu/the-scope/shows.php?shows=0_1r0g4v18 |
