Looking for a healthier investment strategy? A new study by The Health Project (THP) finds that a portfolio of stock in companies that have won the prestigious C. Everett Koop National Health Award -- recognizing effective workplace health promotion programs -- has significantly outperformed the Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 Index over the past 14 years. Since 2000, investing in Koop Award winners would have produced more than double the returns of the S&P 500, according to the new research led by THP President and CEO Dr. Ron Goetzel.

We are pleased to present the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010. Based on the most recent
scientific evidence review, this document provides information and advice for choosing a
healthy eating pattern—namely, one that focuses on nutrient-dense foods and beverages, and
that contributes to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Such a healthy eating pattern
also embodies food safety principles to avoid foodborne illness.
The 2010 Dietary Guidelines are intended to be used in developing educational materials and
aiding policymakers in designing and carrying out nutrition-related programs, including Federal
nutrition assistance and education programs. The Dietary Guidelines also serve as the basis
for nutrition messages and consumer materials developed by nutrition educators and health
professionals for the general public and specific audiences, such as children.
This document is based on the recommendations put forward by the 2010 Dietary Guidelines
Advisory Committee. The Committee was composed of scientific experts who reviewed and
analyzed the most current information on diet and health and incorporated it into a scientific,
evidence-based report. We want to thank them and the other public and private professionals
who assisted in developing this document for their hard work and dedication.
Our knowledge about nutrition, the food and physical activity environment, and health

Place matters for health! A growing body of research over the last several decades has shown the connections between place and health. From obesity and chronic disease to depression, social isolation, or increased exposure to environmental toxins and pollutants, a person’s zip code can be a more reliable determinant of health than their genetic code.
In 2016, Project for Public Spaces compiled a report of peer-reviewed research that found key factors linking pubic spaces and peoples’ health. And public spaces are more than just parks and plazas – our streets represent the largest area of public space a community has!
This webinar will introduce participants to the placemaking process, the research behind the findings linking place and health, and how to envision streets as places – not just their function in transporting people and goods, but the vital role they play in animating the social and economic life of communities.
Using case problems, this webinar will give attendees real-world examples of workplace wellness situations and help attendees learn from those situations so that they can design and implement a compliant wellness program.

The way you communicate, and what you communicate, shapes how your employees feel about working there. Yet organizations often fail to prioritize corporate communication, to the detriment of their entire workplace culture.
Regular communication with employees sends the message that you value them as whole people. And consistent, meaningful communication can strengthen the employee-employer relationship. And when that relationship is strong, everyone wins: the employees, the employer, and the customers, clients, or patients.
You’ll come away from this webinar with immediately-useful tips and insider tricks from our 30+ years of experience producing engaging employee communications and leave with a blueprint of how to produce your own communications, or evaluate a vendor’s options, plus creative options.
We are reminded of the risk of workplace violence every time we hear of a tragic shooting on the news. As wellness professionals, we often have a broad contact with individuals who are struggling and with the structures of organizations that can have an influence on whether those individuals get help or act out their anger and frustration. In this session we will look at risk factors that can be identified to indicate that an individual needs additional assessment and help and at the organizational structures that can be implemented to reduce the risk of violence in your workplace. It is important that, as wellness professionals, we look at how to address this extreme form of unhealthy behavior.
Have you ever wondered why it is that even people who desperately want to adopt healthier lifestyles don’t stick with them once their initial burst of motivation fades? This provocative webinar will discuss the surprising reasons this is true and also showcase a new science-based paradigm to motivate healthy behavior so it is maintained over time. Dr. Michelle Segar will explain why logic-based reasons for behavior change (e.g., better heath, disease prevention, etc.) keep people stuck in cycles of starting and stopping but not behavioral sustainability. Using story and science, she will describe an easy-to-adopt, novel approach to promoting health, wellness, and fitness behaviors that leading organizations are starting to adopt. Attendees will leave this webinar with a more strategic way to communicate about and promote the sustainable behavior necessary for achieving improved health and well-being.
This webinar will discuss the major federal laws that impact workplace wellness program design, including the Affordable Care Act/HIPAA Nondiscrimination rules on the use of financial incentives, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), federal tax laws as well as recent EEOC action such as the proposed ADA rules and lawsuits against Honeywell, Flambeau and Orion Energy Systems. Through case examples, the speaker will explain how each of these laws interact with one another, who enforces these laws, what to expect in terms of future guidance, and how health promotion professionals can use these laws as tools in designing more effective and inclusive workplace wellness programs.

Simply applying knowledge we have reliably in hand, we could prevent fully 80% of all chronic disease and premature death in modernized and modernizing countries. Standing between us and that prize is an obstacle course of competing claims, false promises, and profit-driven, pop culture nonsense.

The challenges, operations, and promise of the endeavor will be discussed.
Shannon Polly will lead a webinar on teaching tangible techniques and exercises that help people cultivate presence. The hour-long webinar will also include information on what science is telling us about presence. Shannon Polly brings both her expertise as a professional actor, playwright and Broadway producer and her background in positive psychology as a teacher, facilitator and coach to this somatic approach to well-being and thriving.
“It’s a common myth that you either have ‘executive presence’ – that essence that helps you to command a room – or you don’t”, says Polly, “but that is simply not true. As an actor, I know there are tricks and techniques, and as a Positive Psychology Expert, I also know that how you carry yourself physically has a big impact.”

Most approaches to mindfulness are geared toward the individual level and not the social or community level to which traditional mindfulness methods were targeted. It is not only about our own personal growth but the enlightenment of the community as a whole. We are never separate. And this insight is fundamental for any effective wellbeing effort (workplace or otherwise). This experiential webinar will feature a cursory overview of mindfulness (definition, measurement, practices) and participants will be invited to complete introspective surveys about their own mindfulness to help ground the social conversation for the webinar. We will then contemplate seven different ways in which wellness champions can show up in a mindful way within the social context (community or sangha) of their work setting. These are listed below. Participants will be invited to self-assess their capacity for each and given tools to continue developing each.
What if worksite wellness initiatives fostered energy and vitality that resulted in thriving, vibrant, and prosperous individuals and organizations? What would – could – that look like? Imagine the possibilities! This session will explore moving worksite wellness beyond health risks and benefit ROIs to a profit center and key business strategy. Many thought leaders are considering options for the next generation of worksite wellness. The conversations are showing up on blogs, in articles and in discussions. During this webinar two essential elements are considered, the multi-dimensions of wellness and a multi-level approach. Both elements are fundamental to foster individual and organizational well-being. The two are inextricably connected and require a broad approach to create the next generation of worksite wellness that actually returns to the roots of worksite wellness as originally intended. Your thoughts and vision are welcome to help create the next generation! It’s a way of ‘BEING’ and not ‘DOING TO’.

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.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
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.

STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
