Productivity losses associated with cardiovascular disease: a systematic review.
Authors: Gordois AL, Toth PP, Quek RG, Proudfoot EM, Paoli CJ, Gandra SR Abstract INTRODUCTION: People with cardiovascular disease (CVD) often require time off work to recover from illness or surgery; for example, following a myocardial infarction (MI) or stroke. These individuals incur income losses, work-related productivity is reduced for employers, and output is reduced for the wider economy. Productivity impacts to the economy also arise due to CVD-related mortality. Areas covered: A systematic literature review was conducted to identify and collate studies that report the magnitude of work-related productivit...

Effects of wing shape, aspect ratio and deviation angle on aerodynamic performance of flapping wings in hover
Thisnumerical study is focused on assessing the effect on theaerodynamic hovering performance of wing shapes defined by the radius of the first moment of the wing area (r1¯) and aspect ratio (AR). In addition, the effect of introducing a deviation angle in thekinematics is examined. The performance ofr1¯=0.43, 0.53, and 0.63 wings with AR of 1.5, 2.96, 4.5, and 6.0 is investigated atReynolds numbers (Re) = 12, 400, and 13 500. The performance trends of the wing shapes have been observed to be independent of Re for both 2-angle and 3-anglekinematics. This is because high suctionpressures associated with the leading-edgevo...

Take a Deep Breath? But 9 in 10 People Worldwide Live with Excessive Air Pollution!
This report provides fresh information on the region’s emerging environmental issues and it will help governments shape their future policy,” said UNECE Executive Secretary Christian Friis Bach.Other challenges discussed in the assessment include climate change, considered one of the largest threats to human and ecosystem health, and to achieving sustainable development in the pan-European region.“It is also an accelerator for most other environmental risks, with impacts affecting health through floods, heat waves, droughts, reduced agricultural productivity, exacerbated air pollution and allergies and vector, food a...

Alterations in Aerobic Exercise Performance and Gait Economy Following High-Intensity Dynamic Stepping Training in Persons With Subacute Stroke
Conclusions: High-intensity stepping training may elicit significant improvements in O2submax, whereas changes in both peak capacity and economy better reflect gains in walking function. Providing high-intensity training to improve locomotor and aerobic exercise performance may increase the efficiency of rehabilitation sessions. Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see Supplemental Digital Content, http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A142 ).

Physiological, aerodynamic and geometric constraints of flapping account for bird gaits, and bounding and flap-gliding flight strategies
Publication date: 7 November 2016 Source:Journal of Theoretical Biology, Volume 408 Author(s): James Richard Usherwood Aerodynamically economical flight is steady and level. The high-amplitude flapping and bounding flight style of many small birds departs considerably from any aerodynamic or purely mechanical optimum. Further, many large birds adopt a flap-glide flight style in cruising flight which is not consistent with purely aerodynamic economy. Here, an account is made for such strategies by noting a well-described, general, physiological cost parameter of muscle: the cost of activation. Small birds, with brief downs...

Economy Class Syndrome, patent foramen ovale and stroke
Whether or not air travel in a patient with patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a risk factor for cerebral embolism is unresolved. This is illustrated by a recent case report of the Massachusetts General Hospital in the New England Journal of Medicine of deep venous thrombosis and stroke associated with air travel. The discussant concluded that because of the relatively short flight “it seems unlikely that air travel was a major risk factor” 1. This may well be true for deep venous thrombosis per se, the risk of which has been shown to increase with duration of the flight 2.

One Hour of Exercise Can Offset Prolonged Sitting
A typical day for many people includes at least 8 hours of sitting - driving to work, sitting in an office, driving home, and watching TV. An international study of more than 1 million people shows that one hour of moderate physical activity can eliminate the health risks associated with sedentary behavior. The study forms the first part of a four-paper series published by The Lancet that provides an overview and update of worldwide trends of physical activity and the global impact of physical inactivity. The first series observing physical activity was released in 2012 ahead of the Summer Olympic Games. The study autho...

Our Sedentary Lifestyles Cost About 5 Million Lives A Year
By Kate Kelland LONDON (Reuters) - A study of one million people has found that physical inactivity costs the global economy $67.5 billion a year in healthcare and productivity losses, but an hour a day of exercise could eliminate most of that. Sedentary lifestyles are linked to increased risks of heart disease, diabetes and cancer, researchers found, but activity - such as brisk walking - could counter the higher likelihood of early death linked with sitting for eight or more hours a day. Such inactivity is estimated to cause more than 5 million deaths a year - almost as many as smoking, which the World Health Organi...

The Economic Benefits Of Healthier Eating: Why Corporations Can Be Natural Allies To Promote Better Diets
Nutrition is at the heart of many of the most important issues in our lives. From nourished children to vibrant aging, from social justice to sustainability, how we eat plays a major role in our health, our culture, and our happiness. Yet, we rarely consider the tremendous economic impact of our food choices. Suboptimal nutrition is the leading cause of poor health in the United States and globally, principally related to chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, obesity, diabetes, and several cancers. In many nations, the costs of healthcare dwarf other programs in the national budget. In the United States, nearly ...

A Gift From Jack
This morning, I was sitting in the courtyard next to our home working on my computer. The weather was terrific, clear and breezy. I was focused on a deadline that needed my full attention, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the terrific weather... and a wonderfully robust, rich brown-wrapped cigar. As I settled in, I noticed an older gentleman approaching out of the corner of my eye. On occasion, I've seen this same man walking around our neighborhood. He's tall and lanky, walking gingerly with a cane. By his gait, I suspect he may have had a stroke at some point. He continued walking towards me -- and the empty cha...

PT223 Change of Serum Total Cholesterol Among Urban Adults Aged 18 and Above in China From 2002 To 2012
Elevated blood cholesterol (TC) is one of the important risk factors of atherosclerosis, which can induce to coronary heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases. Recently, with the great development of economy, there was great changes on dietary structure and the way of life dramatically. In 2010, the Ministry of Health carried out the project of nutrition and health surveillance, here we analyzed serum TC level, hypercholesterolemia and borderline high cholesterolemia prevalence, which will provide a scientific basis for the state formulates relevant policies.
