Dr. Murali Doraiswamy, one of the authors and leading Alzheimer's expert, kindly helped us create a 2-part article series to share with SharpBrains readers advice on a very important question, "How can we help the public at large to distinguish Alzheimer's Disease from normal aging --- so that an interest in early identification doesn't translate into unneeded worries?" What follows is an excerpt from the book, pages 3-8). --- Jane, fifty-seven, managed a large sales force. She prided herself on being good at names, and introductions were easy for her—until last spring when she...

While it is true that we often tend to believe all this "brain fitness" stuff is most relevant to our parents and/ or grandparents, trust me, if you are reading this you have a brain which would also benefit from learning about how it works and how to maintain it with proper care. And, from a company's point of view, isn't "talent" and "human capital" all about brain fitness and cognitive performance, really? The Conference Board and the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives (descriptions below) launched last year a program to "teach simple, practical strategies for incorporating brain-fri...

As Seth requested, I’m looking to hire a community minded entrepreneur with a high performance mind. Job description?  To return magic to unsafe streets in my slowly declining city - Rochester, NY. Who should apply? The person can come from any culture – but must have unique eyes to see the good in other groups. Somebody who can jumpstart potential in people to clean up our downtown areas – and return magic to the streets. We’d be looking for quaint cafes outside little shops and business that bustles with supports from people of every background you can imagine. You’d have to know how to build one community from many active parts. We’d soon sense the challenge and accountability of your commun...

Last weekend in San Diego I attended the largest allergy meeting in the world, the annual congress of the AAAAI, where the 2007 update of the asthma guidelines was presented by some of the panel members. The full 600-page document is available for downloading and public comments before March 15. One of the panel members, only half-joking, said that the only people who have commented on previous drafts are employees of asthma drug companies who believe that their drug should have received more emphasis. About 20 of the 4000 allergists at the meeting stood at the microphones to ask questions of the panel members durin...

Exercising in dry air causes bronchospasm (EIB). Everyone with asthma gets EIB if they exercise strenuously in cold weather. However, if your asthma is well-controlled and you prepare for the trip, skiing or snow-boarding is lots of fun. Here are some tips if you are planning to participate in winter sports:Be sure to get a flu shot (since airplane travel increases your risk of getting the flu).Ask for a prescription of two weeks of Tamiflu, which can prevent influenza and reduce its severity and duration if you get the flu. Fill the prescription and take the pills with you. (Details here) Get a written asthma action plan from your doctor. Consider also taking your peak flow meter or PiKo1 to monitor your lung function. Ask your doctor for a prescription for 7 days of ... Allergies and Asthma blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=395869 Fri, 03 Nov 2006 07:00:00 +0100 395869
