Investing in our future: White House honors Dr. T. Berry Brazelton :: Investing in our future means investing in our children.
That's the message that Boston Children's renowned pediatrician T.Berry Brazelton wants everyone to hear, loud and clear.
Brazelton was one of 11 individuals from Head Start programs around the country who was honored by the White House on June 18th as a "Champion of Change." The Champions of Change program is part of President Obama's Winning the Future Initiative. If anyone has spent his life thinking about our future, it's Brazelton.
Along with guiding millions of parents in raising their children, Brazelton collaborated with Ed Zigler and Julius Richmond to create Head Start, a comprehensive early education program for low-income children that, as he says, gives "every child a chance to make the American dream come ...<div id="medworm"><p><b><i>MedWorm Message:</i></b> Get the very latest Swine Flu news via the MedWorm <b><a href="http://www.medworm.com/rss/search.php?qu=%2Bswine+%2B%28influenza+flu%29&t=Swine+Flu&f=infectiousdiseases&r=Any&o=d" target ="_self">Swine Flu RSS news feed</a></b> - updated hourly from thousands of authoritative health and news sources.</p></div>

Poor Oral Health Damages Economy :: Over 2 million people in the UK say they have taken time of work due to poor oral health. The UK's economy is being damaged unnecessarily with an estimated two million workers taking sick time off work due to poor oral health over the past five years. Most problems with teeth and gums are preventable with a good oral health routine, but around seven per cent of the UK's 29 million workforce have called in sick with teeth problems at least once in the past five years...

Countering the Livestock‐Targeted Bioterrorism Threat and Responding with an Animal Health Safeguarding System :: SummaryAttacks against livestock and poultry using biological agents constitute a subtype of agroterrorism. These attacks are defined as the intentional introduction of an animal infectious disease to strike fear in people, damage a nation's economy and/or threaten social stability. Livestock bioterrorism is considered attractive to terrorists because biological agents for use against livestock or poultry are more readily available and difficult to monitor than biological agents for use against humans. In addition, an attack on animal husbandry can have enormous economic consequences, even without human casualties. Animal husbandry is vulnerable to livestock‐targeted bioterrorism because it is nearly impossible to secure all livestock animals, and compared with humans, livestock are le...

Joblessness and Symbolic Loss :: We live in a stressful society. We need to keep up with the hustle and bustle of everyday, as well as professional, life. Stress might feel more commonplace than a sense of peace.
Although there are several difficult, nationwide events that we are all currently adapting to, one of the most talked-about stressors in modern American culture is the dramatic rise in unemployment.
Current Trends
Joblessness is becoming more widespread in the United States. For example, in January 2001, the unemployment rate of individuals 16 years and older was 4.2 percent. By January 2011, this percentage more than doubled to 9.7 percent (Department of Labor, 2011). The situation seems to be improving in 2012.
A rapidly increasing unemployment rate can dramatically affect people who are out of work, as well as...

Decision-Making Process for Choosing an Elective Cesarean Delivery Among Primiparas in Taiwan :: Abstract A significant proportion of cesarean deliveries in Taiwan were without medical indications and/or on maternal request. The
purpose of this study was to understand the decision-making process of choosing an elective cesarean delivery (ELCD) among
primiparas in Taiwan. This qualitative exploratory study was guided by grounded theory. Data were collected through in-depth
interviews with 20 primiparous women, 15 of whom chose ELCD. Verbatim transcriptions were analyzed using constant comparative
analysis and methods of open, axial, and selective coding. The core category that describes the process of ELCD decision making
among primiparas is "controlling risks of childbirth and ensuring well-being." The decision process can be divided into three
phases: (1) Pre-dec...

Healthy Eating Hindered By Parents' Work-Life Stress :: In a tight economy, with fewer jobs, many people end up working harder and sacrificing more to stay employed. A new study finds that one of those sacrifices is sometimes their own and their family's nutrition. While prior studies have implicated working mothers in providing less healthy family food environments, this is one of the first studies of family nutrition to look at fathers - in particular a population of urban fathers, who face higher rates of unemployment and under-employment...
