This document provides summaries of several studies related to health issues:
- A study found that flu vaccines have not correlated with reduced death rates, suggesting past perceived benefits may have been due to natural immunity rather than vaccines.
- Another study linked larger waist sizes to higher diabetes risk, finding waist circumference a more reliable indicator than BMI.
- Researchers predict life expectancy in the US may start decreasing due to rising obesity rates over recent decades.
- Obesity was cited as contributing to increased airline fuel costs and carbon emissions over the past few decades due to higher average passenger weights.

Occupational heat stress and occupational health servicesDrZahid Khan
This document discusses occupational heat stress and provides information on types of heat transfer, normal body cooling mechanisms, risk factors for heat illness, and manifestations of heat stress such as heat fatigue, heat rashes, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke. It describes symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke and emphasizes the importance of acclimation, hydration, rest in cooling environments, and seeking medical help for severe cases in order to prevent serious health issues from occupational heat exposure.
Poor sleep quality is linked to an increased risk of resistant hypertension, a type of high blood pressure that does not respond well to treatment. Lack of sleep can disrupt hormones regulating appetite and metabolism, potentially leading to obesity, another risk factor for high blood pressure. Both high blood pressure and diabetes are associated with insulin resistance caused by factors like aging, sleep deprivation, and excess sugar consumption. Adopting a healthy lifestyle including a low-sugar diet, exercise, stress management, and adequate sleep can help lower risks for high blood pressure and diabetes.

Heat stroke is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body becomes unable to regulate its core temperature, causing it to rise rapidly. Left untreated, it can cause damage to the brain, organs and other body systems. The main symptoms include a core body temperature above 104°F, altered mental state, and hot, dry skin. First aid involves rapidly cooling the body through methods like cold water immersion or ice packs while seeking immediate medical help, as rapid cooling is key to preventing complications. Risk factors include high heat and humidity, dehydration, strenuous physical activity, and age. Proper prevention focuses on staying hydrated, limiting time outdoors in extreme heat, and wearing loose-fitting, light clothing.

Global Medical Cures™ does not offer any medical advice, diagnosis, treatment or recommendations. Only your healthcare provider/physician can offer you information and recommendations for you to decide about your healthcare choices.
Heat stress can cause several conditions such as heat fatigue, heat rashes, heat cramps, heat collapse, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke. Heat stroke is the most serious condition and can be fatal if not treated promptly by moving the person to a cool place, removing excess clothing, fanning air over their body, and wetting their skin with cool water while calling for medical help. People should take steps to prevent heat illness by staying hydrated, limiting time outdoors during peak heat, and monitoring their body for signs of distress.
Prickly heat is a common rash caused by trapped sweat under the skin, typically occurring in areas exposed to heat and humidity. It causes tiny red bumps and an itchy, stinging sensation. Prickly heat is often triggered by prolonged exposure to warm temperatures and humidity. Simple treatments like calamine lotion, cool baths, and loose, breathable clothing can help relieve symptoms, which usually clear up on their own within a few days. Children are more susceptible due to less developed sweat glands. Preventing sweat from becoming trapped by avoiding heavy creams and washing sweat away can help reduce the risk of prickly heat. A doctor visit may be needed if the rash persists or becomes infected.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

1. SUMMER HEAT
As we are currently enduring the hottest time of the year we thought it
appropriate to give some info and helpful hints on some common issues
associated with the summer heat.
Sunburn Treatment
Self-Care at Home
Home care starts before a sunburn. If you are prepared before going out in the
sun, you probably won’t need these tips and techniques.
Immediate self-care is aimed at stopping the UV radiation.
Get out of the sun
Cover exposed skin
Get out of the tanning bed
Relief of the discomfort becomes important.
Medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen , and naproxen are useful, especially
when started early.
Clinic Hours: Monday-Thursday 9:00 am- 12:00 pm & 2:00 pm- 6:00 pm Friday 8:30 am- 12:00 pm

2. For mild sunburn, cool compresses with equal parts of milk and water may
suffice. You may also use cold compresses with Burow solution. You can buy
this at a drugstore. Dissolve 1 packet in 1 pint of water. Soak gauze or a soft
clean cloth in it. Gently wring out the cloth and apply to the sunburned area
for 15-20 minutes. Change or refresh the cloth and solution every 2-3 hours.
Anyone raised in a beach community knows the secret of aloe-based lotions.
There are many commercially available types. Ask the pharmacist at your
local drugstore. Tearing apart your aloe plant in the yard and applying the
cool jellylike substance inside the leaves is no longer necessary.
Cool (not ice cold) baths may help. Avoid bath salts, oils, and perfumes
because these may produce sensitivity reactions. Avoid scrubbing the skin or
shaving the skin. Use soft towels to gently dry yourself. Don’t rub. Use a light,
fragrance-free skin moisturizer.
Avoid lotions that contain topical anesthetic medications because you can
become sensitized and then allergic to that medicine.
Obviously, stay out of the sun while you are sunburned.
Medical Treatment
Silver sulfadiazine (1% cream, Thermazene) can be used for treatment of
sunburn with appropriate cautions about use on the face.
If your case is mild and not life threatening, the doctor may simply suggest
plenty of fluids, aspirin, or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications
(NSAIDs).
Additional topical measures such as cool compresses, Burow solution soaks,
or high-quality moisturizing creams and lotions may be prescribed.
If your case is severe enough, oral steroid therapy (cortisone like
medications) may be prescribed for several days. Steroid creams placed on
the skin show minimal to no benefit.
Stronger pain-relieving medication may be prescribed in certain cases.
If you have blistering, steroids may be withheld to avoid an increased risk of
infection. If you are dehydrated or suffering from heat stress, IV fluids will be
given, and you may be admitted to the hospital. People with very severe
cases may be transferred to the hospital’s burn unit.
Heat Exhaustion and Stroke Treatment
Self-Care at Home
Home care is appropriate for mild forms of heat exhaustion. Heat stroke is a
medical emergency, and an ambulance should be called immediately.
3. For mild cases of heat exhaustion
Rest in a cool shaded area.
Give cool fluids such as sports drinks or Gatorade that will replace the salt
that has been lost. Salty snacks are appropriate, as tolerated.
Loosen or remove clothing.
Do not use an alcohol rub.
Do not give any beverages containing alcohol or caffeine.
Heat stroke (Do not attempt to treat a case of heat stroke at home, but you
can help while waiting for medical assistance to arrive.)
Move the person to a cooler environment, or place him or her in a cool bath of
water (as long as he or she is conscious and can be attended continuously).
Alternatively, moisten the skin with lukewarm water and use a fan to blow cool
air across the skin.
Give cool beverages by mouth if the person will tolerate it.
Medical Treatment
The treatment is directed at cooling you in a controlled fashion while making sure
that you stay hydrated and that your blood flow is normal.
Treatment of heat exhaustion
Because heat exhaustion generally develops gradually, you will often be
dehydrated. You can usually be given something to drink, and a cool sport
beverage (with 6% or less glucose) should be used. Intravenous fluids may
be used if you do not tolerate oral replacement (if you cannot keep anything
down).
You should stay in a cool environment and avoid strenuous activity for several
days.
Treatment of heat stroke
Treatment is aimed at reducing your core temperature to normal as quickly as
possible.
4. The doctor may use immersion, evaporative, or invasive cooling techniques.
In the evaporative technique, cold or ice packs may be placed in your armpits
or groin. Your skin is kept moist with cool fluid, and fans are directed to blow
across you.
You may be given medication to control your shivering.
Your urine output will be monitored.
Treatment will continue until your core temperature is 101.3-102.2°F (38.5-
19°C) and then stop to keep from making you too cold.
Your core temperature will be monitored for several days because you can be
thermally unstable for some time.
Interesting Tidbits
Flu Shot Disappointments
U.S. Researchers attempting to quantify the number of lives that have been
saved by influenza vaccines have come up with a disappointing number:
something close to zero.
Early predictions were that flu vaccines would save the lives of about half of
those vaccinated. However, "Based on U.S. mortality rates from 1968 to 2001,
the study by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases found no
correlation between increasing vaccination rates after 1980 and declining death
rates in any age group."1
Some researchers are now suggesting the earlier
studies were flawed, and also that the elderly may not be getting much of a
benefit because many fail to produce antibodies in response to the vaccination.
Natural immunity development may be responsible for the earlier perceived
benefits of inoculations. Details are in the Archives of Internal Medicine.2

5. Diabetic Waist
A study of 27,270 men, 884 of whom had been diagnosed with type II diabetes,
concludes that waist size is a more reliable indicator of a person's risk than body
mass index (BMI). Researchers from Johns Hopkins University found a doubled
risk of diabetes when waists measured 35 inches, compared to the 29-34 inch
group. At 40 inches, the risk was 12-fold. Other assessments, such as BMI or
waist-hip ratios, did not correlate as well.3

Life Expectancies Shortening
Researchers are predicting that, for the first time in many generations, the
average life expectancy of Americans will be decreasing in the next few years.
The reason is the current obesity epidemic affecting the nation. Obesity rates
have been rising by about 50 percent per decade since 1980, to the point where
nearly every third American is now excessively fat. Childhood obesity is also
rising at an alarming rate.4

Hidden Costs of Obesity
A new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cites
obesity as a major contributing factor to airline cost increases over the past
decade or two. During the 1990s, the average passenger weight increased by 10
pounds. The extra fuel required to keep this extra weight aloft cost airlines $275
million during the year 2000 alone, according to CDC calculations. It's little
wonder they've quit serving meals. The environment is worse off as well, as the
extra 350 million gallons of fuel burned released another 3.8 million tons of
carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.5

Mercury and Autism
A study reported in the journal Health and Place6
links environmental mercury
and autism. The study looked at autism rates and mercury contamination from
6. coal-fired power plants in Texas. Researchers say their data suggest a 17-
percent increase in autism rates per thousand pounds of contaminant. The study
comes from researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San
Antonio.

Sunshine for the Prostate
A large study from Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School
in Boston suggests that a little bit of sunshine may go a long way toward
preventing prostate cancer. Researchers found that men with higher blood levels
of vitamin D were about half as likely to contract an aggressive form of prostate
cancer. While milk provides vitamin D, it also provides calcium, which will
decrease blood levels of vitamin D. Other studies have suggested that high
levels of calcium seem to increase the chances of prostate cancers. It is
generally thought that about 15 minutes of sunshine each day is enough for the
body to make sufficient quantities of vitamin D for normal body functions.11
