Negative Emotions...

Life is not perfect, so why do we expect our emotions to be perfect?

In our social media-driven, image-obsessed world, everyone seems to be happy and positive all the time. We feel ashamed of experiencing negative emotions.
Positive emotions are worth cultivating, but being constantly upbeat carries its own risks. We must embrace all our emotions, not just the good ones. Research shows that experiencing and accepting anger and sadness are vital to our mental health.
Negative emotions can bring us to our depth — they connect us with our deeper selves.

Worksite Wellness



    With the intention of improving workers’ health and productivity and/or a worksite’s profit, worksites across the United States are offering traditional worksite wellness interventions, such as collecting biometric data or facilitating weight-loss competitions.1 Although a growing body of research on worksite wellness can inform these interventions, a gap exists among practitioners and to some extent in the worksite wellness literature. Despite advances in research, such as the relevant influence of the built environment on one’s behavior2and the need to focus on preventing the root causes of chronic disease,3-7 there appears to be little recognition of these advances among practitioners and researchers in the offered interventions. As such, it is important to differentiate between a traditional approach to worksite wellness and a more comprehensive approach to worksite wellness. This commentary provides a working definition of a traditional worksite wellness model and proposes a more comprehensive model.

    Medicação contaminada...


    Esclarecimento quanto à presença de impurezas em medicamentos para hipertensão arterial
    Recentemente, a Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (Anvisa) mandou retirar do mercado cerca de 200 lotes contaminados de remédios para a hipertensão à base de “sartanas” (Losartana e Valsartana). Como esta iniciativa está suscitando muitas dúvidas e preocupações por parte dos médicos e pacientes, o Departamento de Hipertensão Arterial da Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia (DHA-SBC) vêm a público com a intenção de tranquilizar e orientar todos os envolvidos.

    A retirada de lotes desses medicamentos se deve à identificação de uma impureza no princípio ativo, chamada nitrosamina, classificada como provável ou potencial fator carcinogênico para seres humanos, porque a exposição a longo prazo pode aumentar o risco de desenvolver câncer. Diariamente, estamos expostos a pequenas quantidades de nitrosaminas, pois elas estão presentes na água e nos alimentos, como por exemplo, em carnes processadas e defumadas. Elas também podem ser encontradas em vegetais frescos. Essas pequenas quantidades são aceitáveis e não oferecem risco, mas não deveriam estar presentes em medicamentos. A agência diz que os princípios ativos importados são testados no Brasil, mas que esse tipo de impureza é um problema novo. A partir do momento em que essa possibilidade foi verificada, todas as especificações foram revistas e a necessidade desse controle está sendo efetuada, com retirada de lotes dessas medicações. Assim, o Departamento de Hipertensão gostaria de salientar que não há risco de saúde imediato associado ao uso desses medicamentos contendo essas impurezas, e reitera que os medicamentos contendo “sartanas” são seguros e eficazes no tratamento de hipertensão e insuficiência cardíaca, reduzindo significativamente o risco de acidente vascular cerebral e infarto do miocárdio. Por fim, o Departamento alerta que quem usa os medicamentos para controlar a pressão deve continuar tomando os remédios, exceto os lotes que foram retirados do mercado. Qualquer dúvida, converse com seu médico.

    Jean-Paul Marat

    Jean-Paul Marat

    The Death of Marat, oil painting by Jacques-Louis David, 1793; in the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.FRENCH POLITICIAN, PHYSICIAN, AND JOURNALIST

    Jean-Paul Marat, (born May 24, 1743, Boudry, near Neuchâtel, Switzerland—died July 13, 1793, Paris, France), French politician, physician, and journalist, a leader of the radical Montagnard faction during the French Revolution. He was assassinated in his bath by Charlotte Corday, a young Girondin conservative.

    Early Scientific Work

    Marat, after obscure years in France and other European countries, became a well-known doctor in London in the 1770s and published a number of books on scientific and philosophical subjects. His Essay on the Human Soul (1771) had little success, but A Philosophical Essay on Man (1773) was translated into French and published in Amsterdam (1775–76). His early political works included The Chains of Slavery (1774), an attack on despotism addressed to British voters, in which he first /.../

    Measurements


    These are the top 10 landmarks in the history of making measurements


    Metrology’s long history is enriched by new definitions of basic units

    Market scale
    WEIGHING IN A new definition of the kilogram, the metric unit of mass, is the latest advance in metrology, the science of measurement. A market scale in Argentina illustrates the use of decimal subdivisions for units, established in 1799 by the adoption in France of the original metric system.
    In no field of science is the gulf between appreciation and importance as wide as it is for metrology.
    It’s not about the weather. Metrology is the science of measuring. It has a longer history than the modern sciences taught in school, and it’s essential to all of science’s usefulness and power. Without sound metrology, there’d be no trips to the moon, no modern medicine, no self-driving cars, no baseball analytics and no decent weather forecasts. (OK, so sometimes it is about the weather.) And even without science, metrology has earned its keep for millennia in the service of trade and commerce, ensuring that weights and volumes of produce and other products could be standardized to make fraud a little harder for the fraudsters.

    Air Quality US

    Recent improvements in U.S. air quality are saving thousands of lives per year, according to the latest Health of the Air report from the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and New York University (NYU).
    The report, published in Annals of the American Thoracic Society, looked at the health effects of particulate matter and ozone pollution above ATS-recommended levels. The annual number of premature deaths associated with these substances fell from about 12,600 in 2010 to 7,140 in 2017, the report says. Together, the pollutants were also responsible for some 15,500 serious illnesses, down from nearly 27,000 in 2010./.../
