Washington, DC (PRWEB) November 15, 2007 -

With cold and flu season already affecting many areas of the United States, the not-for-profit National Women's Health Resource Center (http://www. healthywomen. org) (NWHRC) announced the launch of its Flu-Fighting Tool Kit for Parents. The tool kit (http://www. healthywomen. org/flufighting/) provides comprehensive information and tips for parents on how to curb the spread of seasonal influenza, a serious, yet often underestimated illness that can be particularly harmful for children and the elderly.

Nearly 200,000 Americans who get the flu require hospitalization, and an estimated 36,000 die every year. Certain groups, such as children, the elderly, or those with a chronic disease, are particularly vulnerable to contracting the virus and developing serious complications, including pneumonia and even death.

Children and Influenza: A Perfect Storm
Children are one of the major carriers of flu - close contact in school, home and daycare increases children's risk of contracting and spreading the virus. Children often bring the virus home, infecting parents, siblings and grandparents. Families with school-age children have more infections than others, with an average of one-third of family members infected with the flu each year.

"Since children tend to bring the flu into the home, NWHRC created the Flu-Fighting Tool Kit as a guide for parents - providing them with simple measures to help stop the flu in its tracks," said Elizabeth Battaglino Cahill, RN, executive director of the NWHRC. "There is no reason for families to suffer through the flu season and put the brakes on family activities. Vaccination and hand washing are crucial, and parents also need to be aware that there are flu treatments available with a doctor's prescription."

Flu-Fighting Tool Kit for Parents
The tool kit includes the following valuable, flu-fighting information for parents:
Flu 101: Understanding the Basics Symptom Snapshot: Know the Difference Between Cold vs. Flu Flu Facts: Top 10 Facts to Know about Flu Crash Course on Flu Prevention and Treatment 10 Questions to Ask Your Health Care Professional Breaking the Sick Cycle at Home
Although children are particularly vulnerable to the flu, becoming sick with the virus can happen to anyone, at any age. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (http://www. cdc. gov/flu/protect/preventing. htm) (CDC) recommends three steps to keep the flu at bay, which are highlighted in the new tool kit: vaccination ("flu shot"), prescription antiviral medications, and good hygiene practices.

To access the NWHRC Flu-Fighting Tool Kit for Parents, visit http://www. healthywomen. org/flufighting/ (http://www. healthywomen. org/flufighting/). The kit was developed with support from Roche.

New Article in Journal of the American College of Surgeons Reveals Alarming Cracks in U. S. Trauma Care

New Article in Journal of the American College of Surgeons Reveals Alarming Cracks in U. S. Trauma Care

Research shows 38% of U. S. states report lack of statewide trauma system

San Diego, CA (Vocus) August 20, 2010

Trauma care in the United States is so fragmented, overwhelmed and underfunded that the survival and recovery of those who suffer major trauma often depends on where they happen to be when they are injured.

That is the conclusion expressed by Dr. Brent Eastman in his lead article in the latest edition of the Journal of the American College of Surgeons. Eastman is chairman of the Board of Regents of the American College of Surgeons (ACS), the largest organization of surgeons in the world.

High death rates in rural areas, a growing shortage of trauma surgeons and a disconnect between existing trauma systems and regional disaster preparedness plans add to a bleak picture of the state of trauma care in the U. S., according to the article. Eastman is a general, vascular and trauma surgeon who serves as chief medical officer of Scripps Health and N. Paul Whittier Chair of Trauma at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla.

His article in the journal’s August edition, titled, “Wherever the Dart Lands: Toward the Ideal Trauma System,” marks the first time his findings have been published for public review. Eastman initially voiced his findings during his “Scudder Oration on Trauma” at the 2009 Clinical Congress of the ACS in Chicago, which was attended by ACS Fellows (physicians, nurses, health care professionals and other interested parties).

“Coordinated, regionalized and accountable trauma systems are proven to get the right patients to the right hospital at the right time,” said Eastman. “For victims of major trauma, access to timely, optimal care during the first ‘golden’ hour has been proven to save lives, restore function and prevent disability.”

Eastman is one of the co-founders of San Diego County’s successful trauma system, which has reduced the percentage of preventable deaths in San Diego from 22 percent when it was deployed in 1984 to approximately 2 percent today. Scripps Health operates two of the county’s five adult trauma centers and treats more trauma patients than any other provider in the region.

But Eastman points out in his article that many areas of our country, especially rural areas, are not served by such systems. Assembling for the first time maps of the U. S. that show death rates due to trauma per 100,000 population, travel times to the nearest trauma center and populations of surgeons, he showed that a combination of a shortage of surgeons and gaps in regional trauma systems has stymied access to timely, appropriate trauma care in many areas of the country.

As a result, death rates due to trauma are unnecessarily high in those areas, contributing to the fact that trauma is the leading cause of death for those under the age of 45 in this country and in developing countries around the world.

In addition, Eastman revealed that his survey of trauma surgeons in each state showed that 38 percent of U. S. states reported having no statewide trauma system. And of the 62 percent of states that did report having a statewide trauma system, most states indicated that funding to sustain these systems is in jeopardy. Without funding, statewide trauma systems are unsustainable.

“Everyone living or traveling in the U. S. should be able to expect prompt transport to the appropriate level of care proportionate with their injuries,” Eastman added. “That’s the vision when I say that wherever the dart lands on a map of the U. S., there should be a system to take care of your traumatic injury.”

Eastman’s article also relays the stories of several trauma victims who were fortunate enough to have access to a trauma system. These include the journey of Johan and Jenna Otter, a father and daughter who survived a grizzly bear attack in Glacier National Park in 2005 thanks to a trauma system that flew them to a hospital in Kalispell, Mont. and then on to a trauma center in Seattle, Wash.

The article also outlines the highly developed military trauma systems in Iraq and Afghanistan as an ideal trauma model, in which the injured are rapidly transported from combat zones to sophisticated care in field hospitals, combat support hospitals, the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany and eventually to the continental U. S. Eastman experienced this system of care firsthand as part of a visiting surgeon in combat casualty program in Landstuhl, sponsored by the ACS and the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma. Eastman’s article shares the story of Marine Cpl. William Gadsby, whose life was saved despite the loss of his right leg in Iraq.

Eastman’s article calls on his fellow surgeons to advocate for trauma systems in states or regions where fully developed systems are still lacking. It also addresses the need to include advanced trauma systems and the need for more trauma surgeons in discussions and initiatives related to health care reform.

Eastman has a unique perspective on the delivery of trauma care. He began his surgical training at one of the nation’s first trauma centers, San Francisco General Hospital during the late 1960s – a time of surging violent crimes in the wake of Vietnam War protests. During his career he has helped develop trauma systems throughout the U. S. and worldwide and has also provided care in the aftermaths of natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina and the Haiti earthquake.

Florida Drug Treatment Center Gives The Personal Touch

Florida Drug Treatment Center Gives The Personal Touch

Recently in the news, groundbreaking research has begun seeking to analyze the nature of addiction from an evidence-based approach in order to determine more accurately what interventions work best for whom and under what conditions. However good this may sound, in the case of addiction we cannot wait for a 'check in the mail.' The Ambrosia Treatment Center of Florida has, since their opening, provided a hands-on approach to their clients, tailoring their services to the clients needs, and continues to go the extra mile when a 'personal touch' is needed on the road to recovery and independent living.

Port St. Lucie, FL (PRWEB) September 24, 2008

Recently in the news, groundbreaking research has begun seeking to analyze the nature of addiction from an evidence-based approach in order to determine more accurately what interventions work best for whom and under what conditions. However good this may sound, in the case of addiction we cannot wait for a 'check in the mail.' The Ambrosia Treatment Center of Florida has, since their opening, provided a hands-on approach to their clients, tailoring their services to the clients needs, and continues to go the extra mile when a 'personal touch' is needed on the road to recovery and independent living.

"I read today in the news that there is groundbreaking research occurring in West Palm Beach, Fl that seeks to define and answer major questions about the disease of addiction (http://www. ambrosiatreatmentcenter. com/index. php), treatment, and recovery -- for example, actually diagnosing the "'presence of addiction and predictability of relapse through evaluation of certain hormone and neuropeptide biomarkers.' What does this mean for those afflicted with addiction? It means greater support for recovering from addiction and not returning to it, especially in the first year, after seeking treatment. However, although exciting movements are occurring in the study of drug dependency, Florida-based drug treatment centers, such as the Ambrosia Treatment Center are already conducting 'evidence-based' practices in order to determine with more accuracy what "interventions work best for whom and under what conditions." (Dr. Barbara Krantz, Hanley Center CEO and Medical Director)

The Ambrosia Treatment Center was created to provide drug rehabilitation (http://www. ambrosiatreatmentcenter. com/drug-rehab. php) and recovery while combating substance abuse in the United States, specifically in their Florida area. Although they carry already a diverse and wide menu of treatment services, the Ambrosia Treatment Center seeks more to "provide services in accordance with the needs of the client as identified in a [personalized] drug rehab/treatment plan." Concepts such as these are inclusive of a Day/Night Drug Rehab Treatment with Community Housing program where patients are monitored 24 hours a day with the knowledge that they will not receive treatment on the grounds they live. The separation of treatment and personal living with housing allows for the development and transition from substance abuse back to recovery and independent living.

Yet as understood in drug abuse treatment the presence of addiction may not be the same for each individual. A Community Housing program may not be necessary for everyone. Furthermore, without unlimited community housing space, some afflicted with severe degrees of addiction may not be able to receive the proper drug abuse treatment necessary for proper recovery. That's why the Ambrosia Treatment Center also provides an Intensive Outbound Treatment Program (http://www. ambrosiatreatmentcenter. com/drug-rehab-outpatient-treatment. php) for those that are still in need of drug rehabilitation in order to combat chemical dependency. Furthermore, the Intensive Outbound Treatment Program can work wonders in the first year of recovery process for those who were in need of community housing. Through this program each client is guaranteed at least nine hours of services from the Ambrosia Treatment Center a week. And, although Ambrosia may not be staffed to address primary mental health problems, they do work with their clients to find these services through consultation and referral programs--already tendering fully developed formal agreements with health and mental health professionals for the provisioning of such services.

Regardless though of what discoveries in West Palm Beach in addiction research are made, no amount of research will alleviate the incredible financial losses that are too often incurred through substance abuse (http://www. ambrosiatreatmentcenter. com/substance-abuse-treatment. php). The Ambrosia Treatment Center tackles this issue head-on through all of their programs when providing drug abuse treatment by providing employment and educational support services to assist clients in becoming financially independent. Drug addiction and personal finances can act as a horrible marriage with a joint bank account. Sometimes the most important step to recovery is removing the drug from that account.

Exciting movements are occurring today with researching the nature of addiction. However, we should not sit on our hands and wait for the results to come in. Alcoholism and drug abuse is a debilitating disease. And, with any evidence-based method, it requires a hands-on approach -- an approach the Ambrosia Treatment Center knows all too well.

Whether it Passes or Not, Employee Free Choice Act Can Present Significant Challenges to Health Care Employers

Whether it Passes or Not, Employee Free Choice Act Can Present Significant Challenges to Health Care Employers

Experts in talent communications and labor law host free Webinar to assist health care HR professionals.

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 22, 2009

Bernard Hodes Group, a leading provider of integrated talent solutions, and Ford & Harrison LLP, a national labor and employment law firm, will conduct a webinar to raise awareness on how health care organizations can best prepare for current and future efforts of union organizing. The session will include a discussion of the current state of the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA). The webinar, featured on leading industry site hr. com, will take place on Thursday, April 23rd at 3 pm EST. Participation is free and registration can be completed at: http://emarketing. hodes. com/redirects/efca_0409.asp (http://emarketing. hodes. com/redirects/efca_0409.asp).

The EFCA legislation would make it easier for employees to form, join or assist labor organizations. Should the EFCA legislation pass in Congress, the President has indicated that he will sign it into law and many industries will face a greater possibility of unionization. The health care, hospitality, and retail industries will be major targets of organizing efforts ---because they represent jobs that cannot be relocated to other states or sent off-shore.

“Employers in these industries have to recognize that now is the time to truly and objectively assess the state of their employee relations. They should determine whether or not they can improve those relationships before EFCA is passed,” said Paul Austermuehle, senior vice president, employer branding, Bernard Hodes Group and one of the webinar presenters. “Companies and organizations need to take their employees’ concerns seriously and make the necessary adjustments to improve their competitiveness for talent. In light of this legislation, it makes sense to maximize your relations with employees; starting with rigorous dialogue.”

“It would be a serious mistake in my judgment to assume that the EFCA will not pass in some form. If it does pass, this would represent a monumental change in how unions organize employers and how employers prepare for a union organizing campaign,” said Chad Lang, a Ford & Harrison partner and one of the webinar presenters. “Most likely, employers will no longer have the time necessary after a union election petition is filed to conduct its own campaign, which is why an employer’s campaign must start today. Even if the EFCA were never to pass, with the recent mergers of two of the largest health care industry-focused unions in the country, and the two separate mergers of several state nursing associations, union organizing campaigns in the health care industry will increase exponentially going forward.”

This webinar will focus on the implications of EFCA to health care organizations, and will help executives in the health care industry understand the legislation as well as assess how they can prepare their organizations, managers and supervisors, even if the EFCA were never to pass.

Talking About Flatulence, Incontinence and Feminine Odor Problems can Reduce Stress

Talking About Flatulence, Incontinence and Feminine Odor Problems can Reduce Stress

Issues we talk about least -- like flatulence, incontinence and feminine hygiene -- are what we need to talk about most: Iowa company confronts this head on.

Cedar Rapids, IA (PRWEB) November 11, 2005

We all experience, whether real or in our minds, some degree of personal anxiety when it comes to our own bodies. Whether it be discomfort when feeling overweight while facing the mirror or the fear of being embarrassed by others noticing certain bodily odors (like from flatulence, incontinence or feminine issues), going unchecked, these types of personal concerns fester and dampen our lives. These types of "worries" consume the waking hours of so many individuals and chronically contribute to the overall stress of life.

With so many books, articles and authoritative figures today stressing the importance of communicating our upsets and feelings for personal well-being, it is interesting to ponder how we, as humans, find it extremely difficult to bring up even the most common and natural occurrences in life. Tests have shown that letting out those ill-harbored emotions kept securely buried within us can be very helpful in lowering stress levels and contributing to our overall health. But so many common issues, like excessive flatulence, incontinence or feminine hygiene odors, seem to be better left out of conversations; even with the closest of friends.

So what is one to do about these personal "embarrassing" problems? We're told to "let it out," but should we tell everyone at the next girl's night out gathering, do we face the podium and announce it at the next convention, send out an e-mail memo to all of your colleagues…? Maybe not, but a step in the right direction would certainly be to talk to a trusted soul -- your best friend, doctor, an expert or maybe a family member. One thing is certain: there's no need to face things alone, and talking about what we don't want to talk about is good for body and soul -- and reduces stress.

Surveys show that embarrassing topics of the body are of great concern to millions of people in all walks of life. Three very high on the list are: flatulence (the passing of gas), incontinence (lack of control with urinating or bowel movements) and feminine hygiene (menstrual and other feminine odor problems).

Typically, left to our own devices, we tend to amplify the actuality of the situation, making somewhat non-serious things much more upsetting than need be, adding to our stress levels. This personal torture is, needless to say, unnecessary and can be resolved by coming to know the facts about whatever it is that's getting the best of us. So, it's high time we brought out, at least, a few topics that may be hindering our overall health, happiness and well-being! Wouldn't you agree?

In a recent interview with Brian Conant, president of Flat-D Innovations, Inc., had this to say about these stressful topics: "There are products that have been designed for just about anything that ails us these days." Conant continues, "One might feel like they're all alone in their personal "dilemma," but this is never the case. And just like when we get into an obscure, new hobby, like kite flying, backgammon, scarf making… we find a whole new world encompassing thousands of people who are into the same thing; the same goes for uncomfortable subjects as well."

Flat-D Innovations, Inc., an FDA registered company, is a significant part of the very large worlds of flatulence, incontinence, feminine hygiene and feminine odor problems. They manufacture effective flatulance, incontinence and feminine hygiene products to over 30 countries world-wide. "Our products change peoples' lives," says Frank Morosky, VP of Flat-D. He continues, "When they [new customers] first come to us, many feel trapped by their condition, unable to live life freely. We show them safe, drug-free solutions that allow them to step back into life and to improve the quality of life -- without the fear, stress or anxiety!" Mr. Morosky offers an open communication line to anyone who would like to discuss their situation. And if Flat-D doesn't have exactly what you need with their everyday products, they'll customize the perfect solution as they have for many others.
