Ergonomic modification for a person with a desk jobJoe Antony
It was estimated that about 40.7 % of the global population was surfing the computers in the year 2012 as compared to 2006 of only 26.2%. [1]
Marshall et al study reveal that on average, six out of 10 employees used a chair at work and the number was expected to grow.[2]
Many researchers report that working 5.41 hours sitting at desk and 7 hour sleeping at night had a great impact on the physical and mental health.[2]
Sitting on a chair is one of the most common positions adopted by humans.
children and adults spend approx. 55% of their working hours or 7.7 hours/day in sitting postures.[2]
The ergonomic fit workstations have become a standard practice in various developed countries
Standing for hours causes distress to the lower back of the body, to reduce such
kind of aches the chair-less chair came into existence. The chair-less chair also called
as portable chair is a wearable, ergonomic, mechanical, therapeutic device. The
ability to sit anywhere anytime is made possible by this wearable device. The chairless
chair can be worn as an exoskeleton on to our body and can walk normally when
not used. It is an equipment of convenience and comfort, because it acquires minimal
bearable weight. It is optimized by workers who stand and work for a very long time,
especially on conveyor belts and other industrial related works. It helps in reliving
back pain, limb ache, and tiredness and produces an increase in the efficiency of the
worker. This paper portraits the design of the prototype model which was made from
scrap, the mechanism of the portable chair, its applications. Future ideas and
challenges are also incorporated in this paper.
The summary of a study by Professor Taiar of the university of Reims into increasing the comfort of standing workers by studying the upright position of the human body, the stability of the body and its ergonomics on the job.
Studying the upright position of the human body, the adjusting of its segments to maintain its balance and diminishing muscular problems are the main elements to highlight in order to improve the everyday (working) life of users,” according to Prof. Dr. Redha Taiar, an expert in biomechanical, human locomotion, kinematic and kinetic analysis and biomedical technologies at the University of Reims in France. This was the basis for a recent study (2011) that shows how human mechanics in a working environment are impacted by observing workers and measuring foot pressure for employees standing for long periods.

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.

Pulmonary Thromboembolism - etilogy, types, medical- Surgical and nursing man...VarunMahajani
Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
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.

is unsupported and will rotate to the
rear creating a slouching posture. Then
the normal backbone (lumbar) curve
decreases causing pain and
discomfort. The ergoSEET uses
dynamic contouring to cradle the pelvis
not allowing it to roll to the back thus
maintaining the proper lumbar
curvature.

13. Q & A
Q: How can the ergoSEET help me?
A: The ergoSEET’s Patented design offers 4 key features that increase seating comfort.
• Airflow – Ports & Pillars allow for movement of air to help keep you cool. The holes in the
ergoSEET allows heat to dissipate from your body; the pillars don’t collapse allowing the air to
move between you and the seating surface.
• Weight Distribution – Pillars work to distribute weight. The Pillars on the bottom are shorter in
specific areas to allow for the immersion of your pelvic structure mainly your Ischial
Tuberosities, most people may not know the name, but these are the two sharp bones that hurt
when you sit too long on the bleacher seats. As an example, a 200-pound person sitting on an
office chair will have 130 pounds of weight distributed on the buttocks and posterior thigh where
those two peak pressure areas are centered on the Ischial tuberosities. Independent testing
shows a decrease in peak pressures as high as 71% using the ergoSEET.
• Posture – Varying Pillar heights allows the pelvic structure to immerse and tilt forward putting
the spine in proper alignment. By putting yourself in the proper seated position you sit more
relaxed and reduce stress on your lower back. The ergoSEET also uses shorter Pillars in the
back center of the cushion for the immersion of the coccyx more commonly known as the
tailbone. This is another sharp bony prominence that is not ideally suited for significant weight
bearing and is also a area of increased risk if the person is in a “slouched” posture.
• Waterproof – The unique closed cell EVA used to make the ergoSEET is very different from
your standard seat cushions, these are primarily made of either an open cell structure which
absorbs moisture and generates heat or gel which will not breath and also dishwasher safe.

Q: Does it take time to get used to sitting on the ergoSEET?
A: For most people no, they feel the pelvic pressure relieve and the feeling of sitting up
straighter instantly, for others the fact that the ergoSEET is not soft and “squishy” it may take a
day or so. For those people, please give it a week, you’ll be a believer. Medically, we know
sitting on a soft surface that you sink into is the worst thing for the posture and lower back but
we’ve been programmed as a society that soft is comfortable, the softer the better. The
ergoSEET is between 8 and 10 on the “Shore A” durometer which allows for superior comfort
while being firm enough to engage your core to help keep you in alignment and reduce lower
back pain.
Q: What type of person can benefit from the ergoSEET?
A: Almost anyone, the ergoSEET was co-designed and engineered by Allen Siekman one of the
leaders in medical and wheelchair seating in the country, so it’s really overdesigned for a
general seat cushion but with its simple design, affordable price and the fact that it weighs less
than one pound it can be taken anywhere and be used by anyone who desires a more
comfortable way to sit. The range of people using the ergoSEET is fascinating, form the elderly
lady who could take a bath for the first time in two years to people who sit in their office chairs,
drive in their cars or trucks to the parents watching their kids at the little league game, and
everyone in between.
15. Q: Will the ergoSEET work on my Sofa or living room chair?
A: Yes, the most important aspect of sitting comfortably is keeping your spine in proper alignment as
well as the proper curvature of the spine. Medically we know sitting on a soft surface is bad for
your back, similar to sleeping on a mattress that’s too soft which lacks structure. When sitting on
the ergoSEET you will lose some of the air flow characteristics, but most importantly you will
have structure when you sit down.
Q: Does the ergoSEET come in different sizes?
A: Yes, the original ergoSEET is 15” X 15” X 1.5”. We also offer the ergoSEETPlus which is 18” X 16”
X 1.5” and the wheelchairSEET, 18” X 16” X 3.5”. It’s important to remember that one of the key
features of the ergoSEET is providing pressure relief for your pelvic structure, and whether
you’re male or female, one hundred pounds or three hundred and fifty pounds your pelvic
structure is within an inch of your neighbors. The ergoSEET is designed to handle up to four
hundred pounds.
Q: Why does it come with a cover?
A: The cover is made of a microfiber that breaths, and because the fabric is so sheer it allows you to
move easily across the ergoSEET when turning side to side or getting in and out of the car. The
microfiber cover is also machine washable.
