In my previous article - "What is wrong with current Electronic Healthcare Record (EHR) systems?" I noted that the first problem a physician has with EHR systems is lack of overview of the patient. You'd think that a patient's life, from a doctor's viewpoint looking at the EHR, would present a timeline of medical problems that either are solved, or are ongoing. What we get in most electronic healthcare records systems is an evenly thick layer of prose stretching from a variable point in the far past to some point in the near past, without any bumps or changes of scenery.

The usual excuse of "lack of time" for not doing enough exercise is blown away by new research. The study adds to the growing evidence for the benefits of short term high-intensity interval training (HIT) as a time-efficient but safe alternative to traditional types of moderate long term exercise. Astonishingly, it is possible to get more by doing less!

What's that word they use for a society where the group of those with money and power are above the law? Oh, that's right: Oligarchy! While this regulatory capture continued, how many of us filled up our homes with these toxic products? Via Think Progress: Large manufacturers and chemical producers have lobbied ferociously to stop the National Institutes of Health from classifying formaldehyde as a carcinogen. A wide body of research has linked the chemical to cancer, but industrial polluters have stymied regulators from action. Last year, the New Yorker's Jane Mayer reported that billionaire David Koch, whose company Georgia Pacific (a subsidiary of Koch Industries) is one of the country's top producers of formaldehyde, was appointed to the NIH cancer board at a time when the NIH delayed action on the chemical. The news was met with protests from environmental groups. Faced with mounting pressure from Greenpeace and the scientific community, Koch offered an early resignation from the board in October. Yesterday, the NIH finally handed down a report officially classifying formaldehyde as a carcinogen: Government scientists listed formaldehyde as a carcinogen, and said it is found in worrisome quantities in plywood, particle board, mortuaries and hair salons. They also said that styrene, which is used in boats, bathtubs and in disposable foam plastic cups and plates, may cause cancer but is generally found in such low levels in consumer products that risks are low. Frequent and intense exposures in manufacturing plants are far more worrisome than the intermittent contact that most consumers have, but government scientists said that consumers should still avoid contact with formaldehyde and styrene along with six other chemicals that were added Friday to the government's official Report on Carcinogens. Its release was delayed for years because of intense lobbying from the chemical industry, which disputed its findings. An investigation by ProPublica found th

If you have never been addicted, it might be difficult to understand addictive cravings. A drug craving is a somewhat similar, but the craving for an addictive substance is sharper, stronger and much more intense. The treatment of addiction often requires a multi-step approach.

Running, jogging or even simply walking on a treadmill can certainly condition and tone your body with time. Such cardio-intensive exercise allows you to lose more calories compared to a cycling machine or other gym workouts. Depending on your goal, there is a treadmill program for you whether you would like to build some muscle or simply boost your endurance. The treadmill's convenience and great benefits make it the top choice for anyone who would like to up their health and fitness level... Let's Look At Some Treadmills

MOHN, a.k.a. Methylhydroxynandrolone, is an orally determined form of nandrolone, an intense anabolic steroid. The essential distinction between the two, and the distinction on which the others pivot, is the expansion of the 4-hydroxyl bunch. This expands MOHNs intensity and makes it act more like the steroid Trenbolone.

Even light or moderate intensity physical activity, such as walking or cycling, can substantially reduce the risk of early death, a new study by researchers

Oolong tea is also known as blue-green tea and has a very strong taste. The flavour of oolong tea is richer than green tea but lighter than black tea. Oolong tea comes in various grades and they vary in flavour intensity. Like green tea, oolong tea comes from Camellia Sinensis (a tropical evergreen shrub or small tree) leaves but unlike green tea, oolong tea is partially oxidized. Oolong tea looks like little green balls in loose form and it goes through roasted and drying process before being packaged.

Lightweight and disposable  High-intensity exam light is perfect for the physician, nurse, and EMT.  Constructed of high-impact molded styrene and can be clipped on pockets.

Types of CP Associated With Muscle Tone Cerebral palsy comes in several types, which may be associated with muscle tone or specific body parts. Those associated with muscle tone include: spastic CP, where abnormally high muscle tone causes problems with movement, usually in the legs and hips; ataxia, which is marked by involuntary muscle movements; athetoid, which prevents sufferers from maintaining a fixed muscle position (for example, grasping and holding); and mixed, where symptoms of both spastic and athetoid CP occur. Cerebral Palsy: Hope Through Research: Detailed information from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, including facts on the causes, risk factors, warning signs, and types of CP. Definitions and Accommodations for Cerebral Palsy: Information on the types of CP and how to accommodate and interact with severe sufferers. From Kentucky's Office for the Americans With Disabilities Act. United Cerebral Palsy Association: Nonprofit organization that offers a nationwide network of affiliates aimed at expanding the rights, freedoms, and opportunities of those with cerebral palsy. Health Encyclopedia: Cerebral Palsy: Facts on the types, causes, prevalence, and accommodations related to cerebral palsy. Provided by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration. Cost of Cerebral Palsy: Information on the human and economic impact of cerebral palsy, presented in the form of an academic report composed by the Environmental Protection Agency. Types of CP Associated With Body Parts Certain types of cerebral palsy are associated with specific body parts rather than with the general condition of the muscular system. These types include: quadriplegia, in which all four limbs suffer severe motor dysfunction and a general inability to work together; hemiplegia, in which the limbs on one side of the body are severely affected, with the impact more pronounced in the digits; and diplegia, which causes problems with mus
