Academic Video Search Robert H. Goddard was born in Worcester, Massachusetts to Nahum Danford Goddard, a businessman, and Fannie Hoyt Goddard. Early in life, young Robert suffered from pulmonary tuberculosis which kept him out of school for long periods of time. However, he kept up with his studies and was an avid readers. It was after reading H.G. After graduating from school, Robert Goddard applied and was accepted at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Unfortunately, in early 1913, Goddard became seriously ill with tuberculosis, and had to leave his position at Princeton. Goddard's thoughts on space flight started to emerge in 1915, when he theorized that a rocket would work in a vacuum, and didn't need to push against air in order to fly. Goddard turned his attention to the components of his rockets. Powder rockets were still problematic. Indeed, the flight of Goddard’s rocket on March 16, 1926, at Auburn, Mass., was as significant to history as that of the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk.
The role of the microbiome in cancer development and therapy Abstract Answer questions and earn CME/CNE The human body harbors enormous numbers of microbiota that influence cancer susceptibility, in part through their prodigious metabolic capacity and their profound influence on immune cell function. Microbial pathogens drive tumorigenesis in 15% to 20% of cancer cases. Even larger numbers of malignancies are associated with an altered composition of commensal microbiota (dysbiosis) based on microbiome studies using metagenomic sequencing. Practical Implications for Continuing Education Maintenance of microbial diversity is critical for human health. Introduction The microbiota that inhabit our gastrointestinal (GI) tract and other anatomic sites can be considered environmental factors to which we are continuously exposed at high doses throughout life. The Human Microbiome Changes in lifestyles and societal norms influence the microbiome at each stage of life. Microbial Pathogens Drive Certain Cancers Immune System and Inflammation DNA Damage
Mesureurs de stress thermique Mesureurs de stress thermique Les mesureurs de stress thermique s'utilisent essentiellement pour évaluer le poste de travail. Ces mesureurs de stress thermique détectent la température et la classent selon l'humidité. Qu'est ce que le stress thermique et pourquoi se mesure-t-il? Les employés qui travaillent dans des installations et des machines qui produisent des énergies élevées ou qui possèdent une grande émission de température peuvent occasionnellement subir un stress thermique (de façon occasionnelle par l'influence de la température corporelle). Ce phénomène peut aussi provoquer des symptômes physiologiques: des spasmes, des malaises et des secousses qui peuvent même aboutir à la mort.

Exercise for people with cancer: a clinical practice guideline | Segal | Current Oncology R. Segal, MD*, C. Zwaal, MSc†, E. Early detection and screening programs and improved medical treatments for certain types of cancer have translated into, or resulted in, more people having a better chance of being cured of their disease or living longer with it. Cancer rehabilitation forms part of the cancer journey. Exercise as a prescription is becoming more of a movement throughout the medical field as observed through Exercise Is Medicine Canada ( There are different types of exercise and exercise programs that can affect qol and fitness. Exercise programs can have various combinations of aerobic and resistance exercises. To make clinical practice recommendations, the Working Group of the Exercise for People with Cancer Guideline Development Group synthesized the evidentiary base. Research Questions ■ Does exercise, compared with no prescribed amount of exercise, improve domains of qol in patients with a diagnosis of cancer? Target Population
Arizona Department of Health Services - Extreme Weather & Public Health - Heat Safety - Heat-Related Illness Arizona is one of the hottest places on earth from May to September. Heat-related illnesses are common during the summer. Year after year, nearly 2,000 people visit Arizona emergency rooms because of heat-related illnesses. As a result, the Arizona Department of Health Services has developed a Heat Emergency Response Plan, a Heat Safety Resource Guide, and a bilingual Heat Brochure. To sign up for email alerts and information regarding extreme heat warnings, check out the instructions on our Extreme Weather and Public Health homepage. Preventing Heat-Related Illness Your body keeps itself cool by letting heat escape through the skin, and by evaporating sweat (perspiration). Anyone can be susceptible to heat-related illness. Staying healthy during the summer is easier if you take the time to protect yourself by making sure you are drinking enough water and limiting your exposure to the heat. Drink water.

Cancer screening, prevention, and treatment in people with mental illness - Weinstein - 2015 - CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians Abstract Answer questions and earn CME/CNE People with mental illness die decades earlier in the United States compared with the general population. Most of this disparity is related to preventable and treatable chronic conditions, with many studies finding cancer as the second leading cause of death. Individual lifestyle factors, such as smoking or limited adherence to treatment, are often cited as highly significant issues in shaping risk among persons with mental illness. However, many contextual or systems-level factors exacerbate these individual factors and may fundamentally drive health disparities among people with mental illness. Introduction Mental Illness and Health Disparities Mental Illness and Cancer The evidence to date from epidemiologic studies regarding mental illness and cancer is now abundant, complex, and conflicting. Overall, studies of incidence vary widely along many dimensions. Theoretical Framework Materials and Methods Description of Search Strategy Individual level
HealthStreet Takes on Heat Stress » HealthStreet » College of Public Health and Health Professions » University of Florida Guest Author: Shirley De Leon Heat stress is not just an occupational health issue! Whether you work in construction or take walks in the middle of the day, you may be at high risk of developing this serious condition. In fact, long exposure to extreme heat in any environment increases your risk of heat stress. Understand what heat stress is, the symptoms, and what should be done! What is heat stress? Several types of heat stressHeat rash (mild), heat cramps, heat exhaustion (most common), and heat stroke (most severe) cause more serious health effects than others, depending on the length of exposure, degree of heat, and the humidity level in the environment. What are warning signs of heat exhaustion? Heavy sweating Extreme weakness or fatigue Dizziness, confusion Nausea Clammy, moist skinPale or flushed complexion Muscle cramps Slightly elevated body temperature Fast and shallow breathing What should be done to treat someone suffering from heat exhaustion? How can you prevent heat stress?
Guidelines for perioperative care after radical cystectomy for bladder cancer: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) society recommendations 8.Epidural analgesia (EDA) 9.Minimally invasive approach Minimally invasive pelvic surgery has been shown to decrease the inflammatory response when compared to the open approach. Laparoscopic rectal surgery seems to reduce the risk of postoperative ileus, complications and length of stay. However, long term oncological results are awaited before any higher LE statement can be drawn. Three prospective case series studies evaluated some form of minimally invasive approach to radical cystectomy. 10.Resection site drainage 11.Antimicrobial prophylaxis and skin preparation Regarding the optimal skin preparation, the ERAS recommendations in elective colorectal are of absolute value in cystectomy patients. 12.Standard anesthetic protocol Attention should be paid to maintain normoglycemia (possibly blood sugar less than 10 mmol/l), and adequate lung ventilation with low tidal volumes to limit peak airway pressure thus reducing the risk of barotrauma. 13.Perioperative fluid management
Extreme heat and heatwaves - health.vic A heatwave is a period of unusual and uncomfortable hot weather that could negatively affect human health, and community infrastructure (such as the power supply and public transport) and services. The department has published a report outlining the health effects of heat on the population. Heatwaves can affect anybody and cause illnesses such as heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke, which may be fatal. Victoria assists with heatwave planning, and supports heatwave research. The Heat health newsletter provides ongoing communication about the department’s extreme heat and heatwave projects. See latest heat health alerts. A suite of communication resources have been developed by the Department of Health and Human Services to encourage and educate individuals and the community to be aware of the impact of extreme heat on human health.

NCCN Task Force Report: Bone Health in Cancer Care Assessing Bone Health Osteoporosis and its associated increase in fracture risk is a major health issue for the aging population, and especially for patients with cancer. Hip and vertebral fractures are associated with chronic pain, decreased quality of life, and increased risk of death.1 Much of the morbidity and mortality associated with bone loss can be prevented with appropriate screening, lifestyle interventions, and therapy. Both cancer itself and cancer therapies can have profound effects on bone metabolism. These cancer therapy-related affects combine with other important clinical factors, such as age, prior fracture history, and family history of fracture, to further increase fracture risk.2,3 Lifestyle-related factors, such as smoking, excess alcohol intake, inadequate weight-bearing exercise, low calcium intake, and vitamin D deficiency, are common in patients with cancer. Bone Mineral Density The limitations of DXA measurement must also be recognized. The U.S. Fracture Risk
OSHA's Campaign to Prevent Heat Illness in Outdoor Workers The work can't get done without them. Photos by: CAL-OSHA HEAT ILLNESS CAN BE DEADLY. Every year, thousands of workers become sick from exposure to heat, and some even die. What is heat illness? The body normally cools itself by sweating. How can heat illness be prevented? Employers should establish a complete heat illness prevention program to prevent heat illness. To prevent heat related illness and fatalities: Drink water every 15 minutes, even if you are not thirsty. If workers are new to working in the heat or returning from more than a week off, and for all workers on the first day of a sudden heat wave, implement a work schedule to allow them to get used to the heat gradually. Remember these three simple words: Water, Rest, Shade. Who is affected? Any worker exposed to hot and humid conditions is at risk of heat illness, especially those doing heavy work tasks or using bulky protective clothing and equipment.
