8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Histololgy of Female Reproductive System.pptx

Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidade
Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidadeProf. Marcus Renato de Carvalho
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Laptop safety
- 1. Are you using your laptop safely?
- 2. Originally designed for business people on the move, over recent years laptops have become increasingly popular. They are now considered to be the most dominant form of computer. In 2005 they outsold desktops for the first time and today they are ten times more commonly used than desktop computers. The rise of laptop use...
- 3. Sit up straight! With the rise of laptop use we have also seen a rise in back, neck and shoulder problems. These injuries are believed to be associated with laptops as they lack the reasonable ergonomic set up of a desktop.
- 5. Unlike desktops, Laptops are compact. The keyboard and mouse cannot be separated from the screen without purchasing suitable add-ons. This set up encourages the user to slouch forward to see the screen, putting strain on the users neck and back. The users arms will often adopt a misaligned position putting strain on the wrist and shoulders. Working in these positions can lead to repetitive strain injuries. Why?
- 6. How to fix it
- 7. It is important to raise your screen to eye level by purchasing a laptop stand. This will stop you slouching down or straining your neck and eyes to see the screen. It will also prevent your spine from curving.
- 8. Once you have done this you will no longer be able to use the attached keyboard or mouse.These will need to be purchased separately. By using a separate keyboard and mouse you will be able to place them in a position that will reduce strain on the wrist and shoulder. Doing this can reduce the risk of Repetitive Strain Injuries such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
- 9. Is your screen at eye level and an arms length away? You will need a laptop stand for this. Are your arms parallel to the desk when using your separate keyboard and mouse? Setting up: What to consider?
- 10. • Does the angle of the screen adjust enough for it to be placed at the right height on a laptop stand? • How heavy is it to carry around? • Do you need a laptop bag?The best ones are designed to be worn as a rucksack! • Do you need a lightweight stand for when you’re moving around? Or a heavy duty one to be sturdy at your desk? Buying a Laptop? Think...
