Your client is a 32 year old female who stands 5’5” tall with a body weight of 168 lbs and a waist circumference of 38”. While her father is still in good health at the age of 68 years, her mother had a stent at 62 years old. Your client used to smoke one pack of cigarettes a day until the age of 30 years, at which point she quit smoking. Her most recent physical shows her blood pressure at 138/78 mmHg with LDL of 118 mg/dL and fasting glucose at 95 mg/dL. Her resting heart rate is 72b/min. At this time she only walks a couple of times a week for about 25 minutes, and she usually covers 1.5 miles. She is interested in losing weight and getting healthier with a moderate intensity exercise training program.

A population-based study of 451 acoustic neuroma patients and 710 age-, sex-, and region-matched individuals without neuroma was conducted in Sweden between 2002 and 2007. Cases were identified from clinical records at two specialty hospitals in Stockholm. Patients were included if they had been diagnosed with either histologically- or imaging-confirmed acoustic neuroma. Occupational exposure was based on historical measurements of occupational noise (321 job titles summarized by a job exposure matrix) and self-reported occupational noise exposure. The researchers also evaluated self-reported noise exposure during leisure activity. Conditional logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios. There was no statistically significant association between acoustic neuroma and persistent occupational noise exposure, either with or without hearing protection. Exposure to loud noise from leisure activity without hearing protection was more common among acoustic neuroma cases (odds ratio = 1.47, 95% confidence interval: 1.06, 2.03). Statistically significant odds ratios were found for specific leisure activities including attending concerts/clubs/sporting events (odds ratio = 1.82, 95% confidence interval: 1.09, 3.04) and participating in workouts accompanied by loud music (odds ratio = 2.84, 95% confidence interval: 1.37, 5.89). The findings do not support an association between occupational exposure to loud noise and acoustic neuroma. Although they report statistically significant associations between leisure-time exposures to loud noise without hearing protection and acoustic neuroma, especially among women, recall bias cannot be ruled out as an alternative explanation.

Human Resource Management (HRM) plays a critical role in today's health care environment. Training and development is an important part of HRM in that it encourages professional growth and supports continued organizational improvement. The various forms of training and development are outlined in your e Text on p. 138. For your original post, select one form of training and development and explain your experience with this activity in the workplace. For instance, you can select and discuss "coaching" but if you have never had any experience with "coaching" you can explain how "coaching" forms of training could be implemented in a current or past place of employment.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of Matricaria recutita extract (the active ingredient in chamomile tea) on sleep quality, fatigue, and depression in postpartum women. Sleep quality is a significant issue for women after childbirth and chamomile is widely used as a folk remedy for its presumed sedative-hypnotic effects. A total of 80 Taiwanese postnatal women, aged 25-35 with poor sleep quality were recruited from November 2012-August 2013. They were randomly assigned to one of two possible groups of 40 people each. The participants in Group 1 were instructed to drink M. recutita extract (540mg/day)) daily for a period of 2 weeks. The participants in Group 2 received regular postpartum care only. The Postpartum Sleep Quality Scale (PSQS), Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, and Postpartum Fatigue Scale were used to assess sleep quality, fatigue, and depression with higher scores indicating poorer outcomes. Compared with Group 2, Group 1 demonstrated significantly lower scores of physical-symptoms-related sleep inefficiency (t = -2·482, P = 0·015) and the symptoms of depression (t = -2·372, P = 0·020). Chamomile tea may be recommended to postpartum women as a supplementary approach to alleviating depression and sleep quality problems.

In March 2012, two patients - a 39-year-old man (Patient 1) and a 36-year-old woman (Patient 2) - presented at a hospital in Queens, NY with symptoms of vomiting followed by dysphagia, diplopia, dysarthria, dyspnea, and difficulty walking. Neurologic examination of Patient 1 (who arrived on March 12th) revealed bilateral cranial nerve deficits: dilated pupils minimally reactive to light, ptosis, oculomotor palsy, and facial paralysis. He was admitted to the intensive-care unit. Electromyography studies eventually were determined to be suspicious for, but not diagnostic of, botulism. Botulinum toxin type B was identified by bioassay in fecal specimens. Examination of Patient 2, (who arrived at the hospital on March 28, 2012), was conducted by the same clinicians who had cared for Patient 1, and who by this time had laboratory confirmation of botulism in patient 1. They immediately suspected botulism because of the similar clinical presentation, and admitted Patient 2 to the hospital. Electromyography studies were determined to be suspicious for, but not diagnostic of, botulism, and no botulinum toxin was detected in serum or fecal specimens for Patient 2. Both patients improved and were discharged. Further investigation by the New York City Department of Health revealed that both patients had purchased fresh tofu from the same grocery store in Queens in January 2012, and each had prepared home-fermented tofu using similar recipes. Similar fermentation practices at the two homes might have facilitated toxin production. Testing confirmed botulinum toxin type B in home-fermented tofu consumed by patient 1. Bulk tofu at the grocery in Queens was found to be sold in unrefrigerated, uncovered, water-filled bins. Traceback revealed that the grocery's fresh bulk tofu supplier at the time of the patients' purchases had gone out of business. DOHMH advised the grocery's manager of the need to properly store bulk tofu. Public health responders and clinicians should be aware of the association between botulism and fermented tofu.

Normative changes in cognitive function are expected with increasing age. Research on the relationship between normative cognitive decline and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary behavior (SED) needs further investigation in Hispanic/Latinos adults. We assessed the association between accelerometer assessed MVPA and SED with cognitive function in 7,478 adults aged 45-74years from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos. At baseline, cognitive tests included two executive function tests (Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST), a test of language (Word Fluency), and a test of memory (Spanish English Verbal Learning Test). Multiple regression models were used to examine associations of time spent in MVPA and SED with cognitive function by age groups, adjusted for age, education, sex, acculturation, and field center. Mean time spent in sedentary behaviors was 12.3 hours/day in females and 11.9 hours/day in males. Higher SED, but not MVPA, was associated with lower DSST raw scores (β -0.03 with each 10-min increment in SED; P<0.05), indicating lower performance in executive function in all age groups. No associations were observed for MVPA and SED with tests of language or memory tests. Our findings suggest a distinct association of SED but not MVPA on executive functioning in middle-aged and older Latino adults. Further studies are needed to more conclusively determine causal links.
