MANAGEMENT OF ATRIOVENTRICULAR CONDUCTION BLOCK.pdfJim Jacob Roy
Cardiac conduction defects can occur due to various causes.
Atrioventricular conduction blocks ( AV blocks ) are classified into 3 types.
This document describes the acute management of AV block.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Winter Blues
Continued on next page
If you find your mood dropping
along with the temperature, your
energy being zapped as autumn’s
vibrant colors fade or your temper
shortening along with the hours
of daylight, you are not alone.
The winter blues affect one in
four Americans to some degree.
Not surprisingly, the further from
the equator you live, the more
likely you are to feel gloomy in the
winter. Only about one percent of
Floridians report winter-specific
discomfort/depression while nearly
half report it in the northernmost
parts of the country.
The winter blues occur on a
spectrum, ranging from mild
generalized doldrums to the clinical
condition called Seasonal Affective
Disorder (SAD). The distinction is
important. Anyone with the blues
or SAD may experience fatigue,
lethargy, mood downturn, apathy,
irritability, overeating, weight
gain and carbohydrate cravings.
However, a person with SAD
experiences a pattern of clinical
depression, occurring only in the
winter months, and their symptoms
are far more severe. SAD is linked
specifically to the biochemical
2. CBIZ Wellbeing Insights – December 2016 Page 2
Continued from page 1Beating the Winter Blues
imbalances linked to lack of sunlight. If you believe you
may have SAD, see a physician as there are very effective
treatments for this condition.
Here are some fun ways to help you battle the blues and
boost your wintertime wellbeing:
Embrace the season. Many of the happiest communities
on the planet are cold for a majority of the year. (Think
Canada, Norway, Finland.) If they can embrace the cold,
so can you! Our experience relies on our mindset, so set
your mind to appreciate the winter. Instead of resisting
it, embrace every opportunity to ice skate, sled, ski, etc.
And who says the holidays have to mark the end of indoor
décor? White twinkle lights and extra greenery in the
house can help keep the cozy vibe alive inside all winter.
Create excitement. Be proactive in planning things to look
forward to in the winter. Host an indoor theme party, tend
to that book and/or movie list you typically wouldn’t have
time for, schedule a nice hot bath, or try a new comfort-
food recipe such as soup or stew. Get creative and take
charge of scheduling something to look forward to at least
a couple of times a week.
Maintain warm-weather habits. While embracing the
season can go a long way, so can some determination to
maintain warm-weather habits. It may be dark when you
are leaving work, but don’t go home and call it a night at
6pm; stay active in the evening as you would with more
hours of daylight. Brave the outdoors, especially when it’s
sunny out (even if only for a short time). Lastly, continue to
wear bright colors. This may sound silly, but wearing only
dark and neutral colors, as many of us tend to do more
in the winter, can dampen your mood more than you
might think.
Light it up! One of the most common treatments for
SAD is bright-light therapy. This therapy utilizes a special
fluorescent lamp, often called a sunbox, that mimics the
sun’s rays. This type of lamp can also be an effective
remedy for general winter blues. Many people report that a
sunbox is well worth the investment. Less exposure to the
sun can also lead to Vitamin D deficiency, which further
contributes to fatigue, depression and feelings of muscle
weakness. Consider a Vitamin D supplement of at least
600 IUs and up to 5,000 IUs daily.*
Get ambitious. Finding ambition in the winter is tough
work, no doubt about it. However, trying something new,
acting on a resolution or personal goal, or digging in
to a new project around the house can be a great way
to avoid hibernation and find a sense of meaning and
accomplishment in the winter.
*Consult with a doctor before supplementing and to determine the
dosage that is right for you.

Turkey has become more than just a
holiday tradition with a rise in
popularity of this lean meat as a
substitute for red meat products. In
1970, 50 percent of Americans’
turkey consumption happened during
the holidays compared to only 26
percent today. Now you can find
ground turkey, turkey sausage, turkey
bacon ... the list goes on and on!
This has resulted in a 116 percent
increase in consumption since the
1970s. In fact, the average American
today eats about 18 pounds of turkey
per year. This popular protein boasts
some great health benefits along with
its pleasant and versatile flavor.
Relaxation: Feeling sleepy after
holiday dinners? That might be
primarily due to the sheer volume of
food, but turkey can take partial
credit with its healthy dose of
tryptophan. This amino acid is
a precursor to certain neuro-
transmitters that work to generate
serotonin and melatonin in the body,
producing a relaxing and mood-
stabilizing effect.
Protein: Just one four-ounce serving
of this bird provides 32 grams; that’s
65 percent of your recommended
daily intake of protein!
Boosts brain power and metabolism:
Turkey is an excellent source of B
vitamins. B12 helps preserve brain
function and protect against cognitive
decline, while vitamins B3 and B6 are
great for a metabolism boost. One
serving of turkey has 36 percent of
the daily recommended intake of B3
and 27 percent of B6.
Prevents cancer: One key benefit of
turkey is that it contains trace
minerals thought to aid in cancer
prevention. It contains selenium,
which is essential for the healthy
function of the thyroid and immune
system. Selenium also contributes to
your antioxidant defense system,
helping to eliminate free radicals in
the body.
Keep It Fresh
To avoid pesticides and hormones,
buy fresh and organic. Fresh turkey
(not frozen or previously frozen) is
less likely to have additives such as
MSG, sodium and others. Buying
organic ensures that the turkey will
be higher in nutrients due to the diet
they ate. In addition, buying pasture-
raised or certified humane turkey will
guarantee the highest quality and
cruelty-free meat.
Turkey is very sensitive to heat, so if
you are marinating, make sure to
keep in the refrigerator. Refrigerated
turkey will keep for about one to two
days. If it’s already cooked, it will
keep for about four days.
Ingredients:
• 5 c low-sodium chicken broth
• 1-½ c shredded turkey
• 1-½ c shredded or thinly sliced carrots
• 1 c cooked rice
• ½ c chopped onion
• 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh dill
Directions:
Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a
large saucepan. Add the carrots and
onion and simmer until tender, 12 to
15 minutes. Stir in turkey, rice and dill.
Simmer until heated through, about 2
minutes. Serves 4.

The holiday season fills many of
us with a desire to give. In some
ways, this urgency is imposed by
cultural expectations for buying and
giving gifts. But it is also a beautiful
manifestation of the spirit of the
season. It can be easy to fixate on
the pressure to spend more money
on tangible gifts for those we know.
We encourage you this month to
embrace the opportunity to give
your time, as well. The feeling you
get when you help another person
with no expectation of the favor
being returned cannot be described
in words, and that feeling has a
lasting impression.

Fireplace Reflections
Is Wood Burning Friend or Foe?
There are few things more comforting and wholesome than wood burning in
the fireplace on a cold night. Enjoying the warmth, the aroma and the dancing
flames can melt away stress and summon fond memories. It’s hard to accept
that there might be a downside to this simple life pleasure. After all, wood is a
natural material, and its use as a fuel and heat source extends back hundreds
of thousands of years. However, the result of wood burning is quite clear; it’s
bad for you, your children, your neighbors and the environment.
Our beloved wood fires are problematic primarily due to the tiny airborne
particles they produce, which are harmful to our health and the environment.
Wood smoke contains compounds that are known carcinogens, including carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde, sulfur dioxide, benzene and more. These particles are
less than one micron in size, making them small enough to get lodged deep into
our lungs for months or, worse yet, diffuse directly into our blood stream, causing
serious structural damage. Sitting fireside is not unlike puffing on a cigarette or
inhaling vehicle exhaust. Massive inhalation of wood smoke causes more than
one million deaths annually in parts of the world where they rely on wood burning
for heat and cooking.
Children who live in homes with active fireplaces or woodstoves or in areas
where this is common experience higher incidence of asthma, cough, bronchitis
and compromised lung function. Among adults, wood burning is associated
with more frequent hospital admissions for respiratory illness, increased
mortality from heart attacks and greater susceptibility to colds, flus and other
respiratory infections.
In the environment, wood smoke contributes to smog, acid rain and global
warming. For all of these reasons, many developed countries are enacting
laws to regulate when and how long word burning is allowed in the home.
Washington, Colorado, New Mexico and California are among the early adopters
of such regulations in the U.S.
There are now many in-home alternatives to burning wood, the most popular and
safe being gas and electric fireplaces:
• Electric fireplace inserts are the cheaper option and do not generate
pollutants. They are a fairly efficient heat source, require little maintenance
and produce very little waste. However, they do not produce an authentic
flame and cannot be used in the event of an electrical outage.

CHANGE SOMETHING YOU DO DAILY. THE SECRET OF

Changing habits is a very complicated business. Scientists have created
theory after theory on what leads to success and failure in changing our
wellbeing behaviors. One aspect most can agree on is the importance of
setting goals that will truly serve you. The framework for creating these is
called SMART goals.
The first step is to figure out what you really want. Do not set a goal based on
what you think you should do, what you think you lack or what others say you
should change. Instead, ask yourself, what do I want? What will I be thankful
I did one year from today? What do I want more of in my life? This first step is
critical, so take your time. Once you know what your long-term goal is, write it
down in your own words.
From here you can begin to work toward your long-term vision by crafting a
series of SMART goals. Work on each letter, writing down your responses as
you go. Remember, you may need to work through several separate short-term
SMART goals to reach your long-term goal. It’s important to have your goals
written out, in SMART fashion, to achieve what you want.
Specific. What am I going to do? A goal should clearly and concisely
describe exactly what you wish to accomplish. For example, “I will wait
until I’m hungry to eat” is much more specific than “I will lose weight.” To
make your goal specific, ask what do I want to accomplish? Where will it
take place?
Measurable. How will I know that I have accomplished my goal? In order
to determine if you have succeeded, you need to be able to measure the
outcome. For example, “I will walk regularly” is not measurable; whereas “I
will wear my fitness device and get 8,000 steps per day” is. Ask yourself,
how will I know when I have accomplished my goal?
Achievable. Can I achieve this goal and will it result in the change I desire?
A good goal will challenge you while still being achievable. Unachievable
goals are demotivating, so ask yourself if the goal is realistically too easy
or too hard to achieve. For example, “I will give up caffeine” may be out of
reach for the regular coffee or soda drinker, while “I will replace one cup of
coffee with decaf tea each day” may be more realistic.
Relevant. Will reaching this goal get me closer to what I ultimately desire?
Once you have determined your long-term objective, each goal you set
should result in movement toward achieving it. A relevant goal answers the
question ‘why?’ Why is this goal important? Will accomplishing this goal
provide movement toward my overall purpose?
Timely. What is my target date for reaching this goal? A timely goal has a
clear conclusion date. Goals should be grounded in a practical timeframe
to ensure accountability and some sense of urgency. Consider how long
you think you need to perform the goal to internalize it as a habit. A timely
goal answers the question ‘when?’ How long will it take me to complete
this goal? When will I determine success or failure?
Goal-Setting 101
In an effort to give back and stay
connected with consumers, Johnson &
Johnson has launched the app, Donate
a Photo. It allows you to share or
donate a photo, and in return Johnson
& Johnson donates $1 to the charity of
your choosing. You can donate one
photo per day and select any of their
featured charity campaigns to
contribute to.
Making memories, capturing special
moments with pictures and the spirit
of giving are all marked qualities of the
holiday season. Donate a Photo allows
you to tap into all of this at once.
When you donate a photo and share it,
it allows others to see how you made
a difference and raises awareness so
that they, too, can become involved in
helping a cause. This is a great way to
give back this holiday season and,
best of all, it only costs you a photo.
Joe Oberoi, Wellbeing Coordinator, donates a
photo a day and has found the experience
very gratifying.
