Snow Shoveling & Heart Attack
Snow shoveling is a known trigger for heart attacks. While shoveling snow may not lead to any health problems, the risk of a heart attack during snow shoveling may increase for some. In fact, every year about 720,000 Americans have a heart attack. Of these, 515,000 are a first heart attack and 205,000 happen in people who have already had a heart attack.
Cold temperatures increase the risk for heart attack because the arteries constrict which increases your blood pressure.
If you think you might be having a heart attack, please call 9-1-1 immediately to seek medical attention.

Selection Factors and product storage
This document outlines key factors to consider when selecting poultry products, including intended use, name/grade, organic/natural certification, packaging details, product form, preservation method, price, and supplier trustworthiness. Product standards are established by government regulations and grades include A, B, and C based on yield. Organic poultry must meet animal welfare standards and prohibit antibiotics/hormones. Common product forms are whole chicken, breasts, legs, thighs, and wings. Refrigeration or freezing are standard preservation methods. Price is predictable but can vary by distance and processing level. Establishing trust with suppliers supports long-term relationships.
Everyone wants a tech center
This document discusses considerations for establishing a community technology center. It suggests assessing existing technology resources like libraries and schools to see if they can better meet community needs. Key reasons to open a new center include improving broadband access, addressing digital inclusion, enhancing workforce skills, spurring innovation, and strengthening a community's tech-focused brand. The document outlines factors to evaluate such as targeted users, funding sources, potential locations, and staffing models. It emphasizes the importance of defining goals and assessing demand and sustainability.

Decoding Robotic-Assisted Surgery
Robotic surgery may seem like a futuristic concept or something you might see in your favorite sci-fi movie. The reality is that robotic surgical options are highly-utilized by physicians and available today as a minimally invasive, robotic-assisted surgery for a variety of conditions.
The da Vinci® Surgery System became the first robotic surgery system approved by the FDA for general laparoscopic surgery and made commercially available in the United States in 2000. More than 3 million da Vinci® procedures have been performed worldwide since that time. DMG surgeons perform a variety of minimally invasive surgeries for a number of specialties, including gynecology, urology, otolaryngology (ENT), general surgery and colorectal procedures.
Lice Aren’t Nice: A Panic Free Guide to Dealing with Lice
Contracting head lice may be a rite of passage for many young students, as relatively few kids finish their elementary years without being affected due to the nature of lice and how they spread. Lice have basically been living on and around humans since the beginning of time. They are so ingrained in human history that the everyday expressions such as “lousy”, “nit-picking”, and “going over something with a fine-toothed comb” all stem from lice infestations!
Contrary to popular belief, contracting head lice does not indicate that a person is in any way unhygienic or unclean.
Read more about lice, how it spreads, how to avoid infestation and what you can do if your child comes home with lice.
Put Your Heart Into It: Cardio Workout for a Stronger Heart
When you hit the gym you may be focusing on bicep curls to perfect your “guns” or crunches to achieve perfectly toned abs. But have you thought about the most important muscle in your body that needs a consistent workout?
Your heart.
Many people don’t consciously think about exercising their heart, but on average, your heart beats more than 100,000 times a day to pump blood throughout your body. The strength and efficiency of your heart is key since it is the motor that drives your body. Next time you hit the gym or lace up your sneakers think about giving your ticker a good workout too!
Read our infographic below to learn how to have a heart smart workout.
Cold Hard Facts About Frostbite
Living in Chicago, we have the joy of basking in the warm summer sun as well as experiencing the polar opposite sub-arctic temperatures with the change in season. When those temperatures plunge below freezing, frostbite can become a major health threat.
Frostbite occurs when the skin, and sometimes tissue beneath the skin, freezes due to prolonged exposure to cold temperatures.
Read our infographic to learn more about preventing and treating frostbite.
Kids & Screen Time
Technology is now accessible in almost every part of the world and it has completely changed the way we interact with one another. Though we’ve made many great technological advances, studies have shown that screen time can have an impact on your child’s development.
Safe Picnic Preparation
When the weather is nice, we all love to get outside more often. What better way to enjoy the warm weather than a family picnic? When planning your picnic there are a few things that you should consider about food packing, transportation, preparation and serving to avoid the risk of food poisoning. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, roughly 1 in 6 Americans gets food poisoning each year, of those 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die. Many of these cases could be avoided through better food safety practices.
Relieve Outdoor Allergies
Springtime equates to warmer temperatures, flowers blooming and the smell of freshly mowed grass. However, it can also mean uncomfortable allergy symptoms such as sneezing and itchy eyes. DMG’s Relieve Outdoor Allergies infographic can help you understand how to better manage symptoms produced by the great outdoors.
The Killer Tan: Dangers of Tanning
Tanning used to be perceived as healthy, fashionable and luxurious. However, there is no such thing as a safe tan. In fact, when your skin changes color your cells are actually becoming damaged. Melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer, is a disease that affects a younger population and is the second most common form of cancer among teens and young adults ages 15-29. While more are beginning to understand the dangers of tanning, melanoma figures continue to climb.

While chocolate hasn’t gained the status as a health food quite yet, its reputation is on the rise and more and more studies suggest it can provide benefits to your heart. But don't forget, everything in moderation.
View our slide show to learn more about “chocolate therapy”.

5 Balance Activities for Children
Everything we do relies heavily on our ability to balance. Balance is a key skill to help your child progress with their gross motor skills. Learn some exercises to strengthen balance.
Healthy for the Holidays
The holidays are a busy time of shopping, traveling to see loved ones and attending festive gatherings. There are plenty of easy ways to take care of yourself while enjoying fun outdoor activities and the tasty goodies and drinks of the season.
Actinic Keratoses: Pre-malignant Skin Tumors
Actinic keratoses are rough, scaly skin lesions that are precancerous and caused by sun exposure. They most often appear on areas like the face, ears, scalp, and forearms. While they may develop into squamous cell carcinoma, treatments like cryosurgery, chemotherapy creams, and photodynamic therapy can destroy the abnormal cells. Preventing sun damage through sunscreen and protective clothing is the best way to avoid developing actinic keratoses.
Melanoma: Signs & Symptoms
Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that occurs in melanocytes. It most commonly appears on areas of the skin that are not often exposed to sun. Early detection of melanoma through monthly skin self-examinations is important, as it can be fatal if left untreated but curable if caught early. Some warning signs of melanoma include new or changing moles, moles that are asymmetrical, have irregular borders or varied color, or a diameter larger than a pencil eraser.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.
