2008-08-24 04:14:00 Mi girano. Mia mamma due ore fa, vedendo che avevo quel nervosismo da iperattività (cfr per le persone che vivono nella vita comune: sembrava mi fossi fatta di coca) mi ha detto "scrivi un post". Lo faccio ora, dopo aver visto dodicesimo Baldini e il volley or ora in campo. Son così caricata a molla che finisce che mi addormento alle nove. [no, i sonniferi non m'han fatto, in compenso prima che succedesse quel che vado a narrare ero in una nube rilassante di olii essenziali e acqua calda...] Dunque, ieri è capitato, dopo smarrimenti di usb e bocciature al portabagagli dell'auto che avevo preso con una tranquillità olimpica (HAHA... ehm) la classica goccia che mi ha portato vicinissimissimo a farmi riconoscere alle terme che sono figlia del mio papà.

Bill of Rights for People Who Self Harm
2008-06-26 00:20:00 Bill of Rights for People Who Self-HarmPreambleAn estimated one percent of Americans use physical self-harm as a way of coping with stress; the rate of self-injury in other industrial nations is probably similar. Still, self-injury remains a taboo subject, a behavior that is considered freakish or outlandish and is highly stigmatized by medical professionals and the lay public alike. Self-harm, also called self-injury, self-inflicted violence, or self-mutilation, can be defined as self-inflicted physical harm severe enough to cause tissue damage or leave visible marks that do not fade within a few hours. Acts done for purposes of suicide or for ritual, sexual, or ornamentation purposes are not considered self-injury. This document refers to what is commonly known as moderate or superficial self-injury, particularly repetitive SI; these guidelines do not hold for cases of major self-mutilation (i.e., castration, eye enucleation, or amputation).Because of the stigma and lack of readil...

Smoking Can Harm Your Insurance Too
2008-06-05 08:46:00 Smoking is not just a burden on your health but your finances as well. There is the direct cost of purchasing them and the accrued cost over time can be ridiculously high. The collateral financial cost of smoking is the negative impact it can have on life insurance. Smokers more than other clients will be more likely to suffer serious illness or die as a result of the habit, and so companies know there is a higher standard of risk involved when offering them life insurance. Smokers will no doubt be quoted higher costs because policies are taken out over the long term. The variation in quotes is stark in its honesty. For example, a policy which has the lowest price quoted for £200000 of life cover for a smoker over 25 years with critical illness cover included on a single basis, will be £4503 dearer for him/her as opposed to most policies for non smokers. If a smoker is thinking of bending the truth when applying for a policy, the best advice is not lie at all. By saying a person i...

More Evidence of the Harm of the Ageing Dads to Offspring
2008-04-27 02:18:00 Eur J Epidemiol. 2008 Apr 25 [Epub ahead of print]Paternal age and mortality in children.Zhu JL, Vestergaard M, Madsen KM, Olsen J.The Danish Epidemiology Science Centre, University of Aarhus, Vennelyst Boulevard 6, 8000, Aarhus C, Denmark, zjl@soci.au.dk.Background Since paternal age correlates with some diseases that have a high case-fatality, a paternal age effect on offspring's survival is expected but unsettled. We examined the association between paternal age and mortality in children in a large population-based cohort taking maternal age and socioeconomic factors into account. Methods From the Danish Fertility Database (1980-1996), we identified 102,879 couples and their firstborn singleton children. Information on childhood death (N = 831) was obtained by linking the cohort to the nationwide register on cause of death (1980-1998). Results We observed a U-shaped association between paternal age and the overall mortality rate in children up to 18 years of age. Adjustment for ...

Smoking, drinking alcohol and cocaine were found to cause chemical changes to semen Dr Cynthia Daniels of Rutgers University, said: "If I were a young man I would not drink heavily and I would not be smoking two packs of cigarettes per day while trying to conceive a child.""Studies have shown significant associations between male toxic exposures and increased rates of infertility, miscarriage, stillbirth and childhood health problems.""We need to open our eyes and look at the evidence.

This year's filing entails the familiar language that the company would continue to take steps to enhance the relevance of the ads displayed on Google as well as its Network members' web sites. Furthermore, these steps would get translated into removing ads that generate low click-through rates or that send users to irrelevant or otherwise low quality sites, in addition to terminating Google Network members whose web sites that don't meet its quality guidelines. As far as the accidental clicks are concerned there would be efforts to curtail them and that these steps would affect the near-term revenues.

"Normal" sugars may harm diabetics
2008-02-07 05:16:00 I can't even imagine having diabetes. Every day, I talk with and take care of patients with diabetes. I'm just fascinated with the technology out there to monitor blood sugars and to deliver insulin. No longer are just the syringe and the needle. There are stuff like pre-filled insulin pens and even insulin pumps that can deliver the medicine now.In diabetes treatment, the current thinking has always been to push your average sugar level to a lower and lower number. Now, I'm not talking about too low - like hypoglycemia - but a lower Hemoglobin AIC level (the three month blood sugar level).In what can be characterized as a stunning move, a federal government study had to be stopped because of deaths NOT due to HIGH blood sugar levels - but because of possible too LOW blood sugar levels (Associated Press)The government abruptly halted aggressive treatment in a major study of diabetes and heart disease after a surprising number of deaths among patients who pushed their blood sugar ...

STUDY WARNS CHEMICAL IN BABY SHAMPOO MAY CAUSE HARM
2008-02-06 14:02:00 Phthalates suspected of damaging male reproductive systemParents concerned about lead paint on their children's toys may have something new to worry about. A study suggests some baby lotions and powders contain chemicals suspected of causing damage to male reproduction.The study appears in the latest issue of the journal Pediatrics.The study focused on chemicals called phthalates, which are becoming fairly common in the environment. They are used in lubricants and cosmetics, and increasingly they are showing up in plastic products, including children's toys.Recent tests on infants and toddlers have shown fairly high concentrations of phthalates in children's systems. The question for researchers – how are they getting there?The Pediatrics article says conventional wisdom has always held that children were exposed to these chemicals mostly through chewing on toys, or crawling around on dusty floors. The study was designed to narrow the likely sources.Researchers carefully measur...

Help + Harm = No Change
2008-02-05 12:38:00 Help + harm = no change 5 February 2008AOTEAROA LEGALISE CANNABIS PARTY Lawlessness has become a way of life in NZ. In particular, a hard-core group of New Zealanders have become desensitised from the real life consequences of their own shocking behaviour. There is murder and violence, disrespect and vandalism constantly in the news, on our streets, and in our homes. Both National and Labour are using superficial vote-catching approaches for tackling youth crime and social problems. They miss the point by focusing on symptoms rather than causes.Television violence, poverty, neglectful or just plain bad parenting, as well as educational failure and the 1991 Budget have all played a part in reinforcing alienation and lack of direction. But the ALCP say that a certain bad law has thoroughly done that too, and bad laws breed widespread disrespect. Possession of cannabis should no longer be a crime. The ALCP is adamant that the most hypocritical ...
