Can Fish Oil Help Reading?
Discussion Fats and fatty acids are essential for good human health. Saturated fats have hydrogen pairs linked to each carbon on the carbon backbone. They are solid or semi-solid at room temperature. Common examples are butter, lard, or hardened vegetable shortening. They are linked to higher cholesterol and triglycerides and only a small amount of them are recommended to be consumed in the diet. Unsaturated fats have one or more hydrogen atoms missing from the carbon backbone. They are liquid at room temperature. Monounsaturated fatty acids have one hydrogen pair that is missing from the carbon backbone. They are liq...

Long-term Fine Particulate Matter Exposure and Nonaccidental and Cause-specific Mortality in a Large National Cohort of Chinese Men
Conclusions: Long-term exposure to PM2.5 was associated with nonaccidental, CVD, lung cancer, and COPD mortality in China. The IER estimator may underestimate the excess relative risk of cause-specific mortality due to long-term exposure to PM2.5 over the exposure range experienced in China and other low- and middle-income countries. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1673 Received: 24 February 2017 Revised: 01 September 2017 Accepted: 05 September 2017 Published: 07 November 2017 Address correspondence to M.

Michelle is moving ahead after experiencing a stroke
In fall of 2014, I was a senior, excited about finishing high school in New Hampshire and heading off to college. But I could never have guessed what the year would bring. I was an avid lacrosse player and competing in my fifth game of a tournament when I started to notice I was having trouble seeing out of my left eye. Soon, my hand felt weird and I couldn’t grip the stick properly. As I sat on the sidelines, onlookers recommended I be taken to a local hospital. Recovering from stroke I can’t remember a lot of what happened next, but I know that the emergency doctors believed I had a stroke. They sent me to the Stroke...

First ‐aid training in school: amount, content and hindrances
This study aimed to establish how much time is spent on first‐aid training, which first‐aid measures are taught, and which factors prevent teachers from providing the quantity and quality of first‐aid training that they wish to give. MethodsA questionnaire was distributed to teachers in physical education in primary and secondary schools and to teachers in vocational subjects in higher secondary schools. ResultsThe teachers taught a median of two lessons in first aid per year. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was taught by 64% of teachers, free airway and recovery position by 69% and stopping severe bleeding by 51...

Effect of Visual Art School–Based Stroke Intervention for Middle School Students
ABSTRACT: Background: Community stroke awareness initiatives have traditionally been used to expand knowledge of stroke signs and risk factors to high-risk adult populations. Here, we use a novel unfettered, visual art–based approach for an elementary school initiative to raise stroke awareness. Methods: Seventh graders in a middle school art class received stroke awareness training during the course of the 2015 to 2016 school year through their teacher in the visual arts class. In turn, they used this training to develop their own artistic interpretations of key stroke awareness concepts via project-based learning and t...

“Are you going to come and see us again soon?” An intergenerational event between stroke survivors and school-children
Quality in Ageing and Older Adults,Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 246-252, December 2016. Purpose A one-hour intergenerational event held at an infant school in Norfolk, England, aimed to increase the citizenship experience of young children and their awareness of what it means to live with stroke, and to address social isolation or self-confidence in communicating among stroke survivors with aphasia. It was also intended to gauge whether this activity might provide a basis for future research. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach Four community-dwelling stroke survivors with aphasia were recruited...

Setting up an undergraduate neurology teaching day: 7 steps
The University of Bristol medicine course has one of the shortest neurology placements nationally, just one week. This is despite stroke being the 2nd most common cause of death and neurological illness accounting for 20% of acute medical admissions. Neurology training is set to be reduced even further by GMC regulations limiting clinical placements to the first four years with the final year as a "student assistantship". In response to this we setup an independent, neurology teaching day held annually for 90 students. This is currently in its 2nd year, oversubscribed and free to attend. The overarching aim was to eradicat...

The Bonus Effect: One Kind of Interest That Rewards DON'T Kill
For nearly half a century, research has raised troubling questions about the practice of dangling rewards in front of people to get them to do what we want. It doesn't matter whether the people in question are male or female, children or adults. It doesn't matter whether the rewards are stickers, food, grades, or money. It doesn't matter whether the goal is to get them to work harder, learn better, act nicely, or lose weight. What the studies keep telling us is that rewards, like punishments, tend not only to be ineffective -- particularly over the long haul -- but often to undermine the very thing we're trying to promote....

Parental Care-Seeking Behavior and Prehospital Timelines of Care in Childhood Arterial Ischemic Stroke Brief Reports
Conclusions— Stroke recognition and care-seeking behavior are suboptimal, with less than half the parents considering stroke or calling an ambulance. Initiatives are required to educate parents about appropriate actions to facilitate time-critical interventions.
