Notiziario Luglio 2010 N°7 Caro Collega, un insieme di condizioni morbose, tra le quali dominano per frequenza l'ipertensione arteriosa, l'eccesso ponderale, l'iperglicemia e la displidemia, costituiscono, come modernamente viene definita, la "Sindrome Metabolica", che è oggi presente in circa un terzo della popolazione adulta del mondo occidentale. In Italia, come altrove, queste condizioni sono al primo posto tra le cause di mortalità, morbilità ed invalidità cerebro - cardio - vascolare, configurando così una vera e propria pandemia. Si tratta di condizioni nei cui confronti la correzione delle abitudini di vita non è meno importante del trattamento farmacologico. Tale è la ragione che rende necessario affiancare l’educazione dei cittadini ad un rigoroso ed articolato intervento terapeutico destinato a continuare per tutta la vita. L'AMEC, oltre ai congressi nazionali annuali, promuove e patrocina diversi convegni locali e regionali ed attiva riunioni di educazione sanitaria con la popolazione.

Free Book Search Free Book Search's document search tool is designed to return the maximum number of online documents from specific types of websites as per the users' choice. We have made this search portal very robust so that using the tools on this page, if a document exists somewhere - even hidden away - on the Internet, you will find it here. This is one of the only online tools that will actually find books and documents on non-book sites. Most other tools sift through digital libraries or known locations of e-books and documents, our searches also scan private collections that are normally hidden. There are a few methods for finding documents, and we have tried to incorporate all of them in one place by using the 'radio buttons'. You may need to try using a few of the search techniques to find what you are looking for, and you may need to sift through a number of documents. We have included a military search to search official military sites.

A Social-Media Decoder Power shift: Deb Roy, CEO of Bluefin Labs, says social media have changed the relationship between media consumers and producers. From his 24th-floor corner office in midtown Manhattan, the veteran CBS research chief David Poltrack can gaze southward down the Avenue of the Americas, its sidewalks teeming. For more than four decades, it has been his job to measure people’s television habits, preferences, and reactions. In large part, this has meant following the viewing habits of Nielsen panels of TV viewers and parsing the results of network surveys on their opinions. But now he’s also dealing with a growing force: the masses talking back through social media. How to make sense of it all? Overall, the data was raw and, in many cases, ambiguous. Six hundred miles to the west, a similar assessment was under way at the Cincinnati headquarters of Procter & Gamble, the world’s largest advertiser (its brands include Tide, Gillette, Bounty, Pringles, and Duracell).
