June is dedicated to raising awareness and prevention of the preventable health problems men face while encouraging men to seek regular medical advice and early treatment for disease or injury.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among women, though it has been declining among men. While traditional risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, and smoking apply to women, they alone do not explain women's full risk. Additional risk factors for women include abdominal obesity, physical inactivity, depression, and postmenopausal status. Assessing a woman's overall cardiometabolic risk involves considering both modifiable risk factors and estimating her 10-year risk of cardiovascular events. Lifestyle interventions targeting smoking cessation, diet, exercise, and weight management can help reduce women's cardiovascular risk.
This document provides summaries of articles from a health care organization's newsletter. It discusses:
1) A cover story on men's health that emphasizes the importance of regular checkups with a primary care physician to catch issues early, and highlights risks to sexual/urinary health and heart health that men face.
2) A piece on the organization's breast surgeons who work as part of a multidisciplinary team to provide comprehensive breast cancer care.
3) A new integrative oncology program that focuses on optimizing cancer treatment and promoting wellness.
Author and lecturer Nelson Vergel speaks about erectile dysfunction, testosterone replacement, nutrition, supplementation and exercise techniques for best health and performance. You can find this information in www.ExcelMale.com and www.TestosteroneWisdom.com
The document discusses several key issues regarding men's health: 1) There is a lack of awareness and understanding of health issues that men face, and men are often reluctant to openly discuss their health or take action when not feeling well; 2) Men engage in risky behaviors like smoking and drinking and are less likely than women to visit the doctor; 3) Screening tests are important for detecting diseases early when they are easier to treat, yet many men ignore getting health screenings. The document provides information on common age-related changes to the male reproductive system and recommended health screenings for men ages 18 to 39.
This document discusses reasons for shorter life expectancy among Nigerian men and recommendations for prevention. Non-communicable diseases like cardiovascular disease, cancers, chronic respiratory disease and diabetes are the main culprits responsible for low life expectancy. These diseases can be prevented through lifestyle modifications like a healthy diet, exercise, preventative health screenings, stress management, and seeing a doctor regularly. The Dennis Ashley Wellness Centre provides various services to help men assess health risks and take proactive steps to live longer, healthier lives.
What do Heart Disease, Cancer, and Obesity have in common? They are all huge threats to women’s health and also all preventable.
We would be amiss if we gathered at this conference to talk about success, power, and vitality without including a candid
discussion about the most critical part of long term Success. HEA LTH!
Learning Objective: This workshop will explore top areas of health concerns and review small changes in daily lifestyle and be
a part of a collective movement to reduce risk and live a longer, healthier life.
Outcome-At the end for this workshop, participants will:
a. Explore new trends, issues, and health concerns specific to women
b. Examine specific health issues common among various age groups and ethnicities
c. Discuss solutions, lifestyle changes, and other health related solutions
d. Explore and assess several natural health remedies and other vitamin supplementation
e. Review and rate top weight loss and exercise plans for women
Men's health in general practice aims to holistically manage health conditions common in men. Men die on average 6 years earlier than women, often due to external causes like accidents, suicide, and work-related injuries. General practices need to address masculinity norms and the specific health risks facing men, such as higher rates of smoking, drinking, drug use, and HIV/AIDS. Practices should create male-friendly environments, educate men about their health, and address issues like violence exposure that impact men.

This document discusses health issues and common changes that occur during middle adulthood between 35-65 years of age. Some key points include:
- Leading causes of mortality are heart disease and cancer, influenced by lifestyle behaviors such as smoking, diet, and exercise.
- Common health problems include osteoarthritis, osteopenia, constipation, and menopause symptoms.
- Health risks vary based on gender, race, and genetics. Men have higher mortality rates than women.
- Aging leads to changes in many body systems and functions including hair, skin, muscles, hormones, vision, and hearing.
- Maintaining good nutrition, physical activity, sleep, social roles and relationships can help promote health and
The document provides an overview of recommendations from the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) for preventive services in adults, including screening for various cancers, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression, immunizations, injury prevention, lifestyle factors, sexually transmitted infections, and other conditions. It details the specific populations and ages that different screening and prevention services should be targeted toward, such as annual influenza vaccination for adults over 50 and screening for cervical cancer with pap smears for sexually active women ages 21 to 65. Recommendations are provided for both adults under 50 and over 50 years of age.

Learn how to make healthy choices that impact heart health, the typical mistakes to avoid, and how to recognize the signs and symptoms of a heart attack.
This document provides information on screening criteria and recommendations for various preventative measures. It begins with definitions of universal, selective, and indicated prevention approaches. It then lists criteria for good screening tests, including sensitivity, specificity, predictive value, simplicity, cost, safety, acceptability, and labeling. The document discusses screening recommendations from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force for conditions like aspirin, diabetes, dyslipidemia, abdominal aortic aneurysm, and others. It provides both recommended screening (grade A or B) and those that are discouraged (grade D).
This document discusses prevention and control of heart disease. It begins by defining heart disease as a general term covering diseases that affect the heart. Heart disease is the number one killer in the United States and the second leading cause of death in Bangladesh. The document then discusses risk factors for heart disease such as age, family history, smoking, high blood pressure, cholesterol, obesity, and lack of exercise. It provides categories of risk factors and lists symptoms of heart attack and stroke. The document concludes by emphasizing that heart disease is highly preventable through diet, exercise, and reducing risk factors.
The document summarizes the top 10 causes of death among men in the United States according to percentage of male deaths. The top three causes are heart disease at 26.3%, cancer at 24.1%, and unintentional injuries at 6.6%. It then provides a brief 1-3 sentence summary of each of the top 10 causes, which include heart disease, cancer, unintentional injuries, chronic lower respiratory diseases, stroke, diabetes, suicide, influenza and pneumonia, kidney disease, and Alzheimer's disease. Socially accepted "male" behaviors such as smoking, drinking, and risky sex are also noted as predisposing men to premature death.
Periodic health examinations are important for providing preventive services like screening, counseling, and immunizations. The document outlines recommendations for screening various health measures at different life stages from birth through adulthood. Screenings include developmental screening in young children, vision and hearing tests throughout childhood, lead screening at ages 1-2, and cancer screening, diabetes screening, and hypertension screening in adults. Counseling on topics like injury prevention, nutrition, dental health, and risky behaviors are also recommended parts of periodic health examinations across the lifespan.
This document discusses women and heart disease. It notes that heart disease is the leading cause of death for American women, killing nearly twice as many women as all cancers combined. However, the symptoms of a heart attack in women can differ from men and be more subtle. After menopause, women are at higher risk of heart disease due to decreasing estrogen levels. While past studies showed hormone replacement therapy could increase heart risks, newer research does not support its use for preventing heart disease. The document outlines risk factors for heart disease in women and provides guidelines for assessing personal risk levels.
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. While a large proportion of CVDs are preventable, rates continue to rise due to inadequate preventive measures. An estimated 17.3 million people died from CVDs in 2008, with over 80% of deaths occurring in low- and middle-income countries. By 2030, almost 23.6 million people will die from CVDs annually. South Africa faces a high burden from CVDs, with the top four risk factors being smoking, high BMI, hypertension, and high blood cholesterol. Population-wide interventions targeting modifiable risk factors like tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, and alcohol could prevent the majority of premature CVDs
HRR Healthy Life Style Dr Ravi Jandhyala heart healthBhava Swaroop
Being Indian significantly increases the risk of developing heart disease earlier in life. Indians typically experience heart attacks 10 years earlier than other populations and have a much higher risk of heart attacks under age 45. The prevalence of heart disease in India has doubled in rural areas and tripled in urban areas over the past 30 years. Unhealthy lifestyles and risk factors like smoking, diabetes, and abdominal obesity explain much of the early onset and severity of heart disease seen in Indians.
June is dedicated to raising awareness and prevention of the preventable health problems men face while encouraging men to seek regular medical advice and early treatment for disease or injury.
Men, Did You Know You are:
* 24% less likely than women to have visited a doctor within the past year
* 24% more likely to be hospitalized for pneumonia that could have been prevented by getting an immunization
* More than 2 times as likely to have a leg or foot amputated due to complications related to diabetes
* 32% more likely than women to be hospitalized for long-term complications of diabetes
* 28% more likely than women to be hospitalized for congestive heart failure
* 22% more likely to have neglected your cholesterol tests

AUA News v2- The Value of a Men¹s Health Center MS Edits 4-1-2016docxMartin Miner
The document discusses the value of a men's health center in evaluating and treating male patients holistically. It describes a case study of a 61-year-old male patient who presented with fatigue and low testosterone. Through evaluation at the men's health center, additional risk factors for cardiovascular disease were identified beyond his initial symptoms. The center takes a multidisciplinary approach to assess, treat, educate patients, and modify risk factors. This comprehensive care can help alter health outcomes and improve quality of life for male patients.

The document summarizes the Cancer Lifestyle and Evaluation of Risk (CLEAR) study conducted by Cancer Council NSW to research cancer risk factors. It discusses that the CLEAR study has collected lifestyle and health information from over 8,000 cancer patients and 2,000 non-cancer controls. Cancer Council NSW scientists plan to use the CLEAR study data to research risk factors for cancer in six main areas: alcohol consumption, smoking, body mass index and physical activity, infectious agents, hormones, sun exposure and sleep patterns. The CLEAR study saves researchers time by collecting this foundational data on lifestyle factors and biomarkers that can now be analyzed to study cancer risks.
HOW TO SAVE MONEY ON YOUR HEALTHCARE: An Integrative Medicine ApproachLouis Cady, MD
In this webinar, the fourth in a series of five from Dr. Louis Cady and the Cady Wellness Institute, we focus on the actual dollars and cents of health care expenditures, and the societal and PERSONAL costs of poor health maintenance behavior. We examine the essentially passive US medical system, that would rather drug a symptom than fix the underlying problem.
Great attention is paid on not shaming the patient or the doctors as they exist in the current system. Both groups "do not know what they do not know." Confirmation bias is rampant.
This webinar points the way to living a more vital, energetic life, with a minimum of cost, grief, and misery.
This document discusses cancer, including what it is, how it is treated, statistics, risk factors, and preventative measures. Cancer forms when cells grow uncontrollably and can spread through the body. It is treated through surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation. Statistics show cancer is most common in the elderly, with over half of new cases being prostate, breast, lung or colorectal cancers. Risk factors include age, alcohol, tobacco, obesity, and exposure to carcinogenic substances. Preventative measures consist of not using tobacco, eating healthy, staying active, and visiting doctors regularly for cancer screenings.

This document discusses prostate cancer screening and treatment. It notes that prostate cancer affects about 1 in 6 males in their lifetime and is highly treatable if detected early. Routine screening through PSA blood tests and biopsies when needed has reduced prostate cancer mortality by 40% since the 1990s. Early detection through screening is key, as early-stage prostate cancer produces no symptoms. Treatment options include prostate removal surgery or radiation therapy. The article encourages all men to be aware of risk factors and screening recommendations.
In us, one in nine men at risk of heart attackOther Mother
One in nine men and one in 30 women in the US are at risk of sudden cardiac death before age 70, according to a new study. Sudden cardiac death claims around 450,000 American lives each year, often in people with no prior heart disease symptoms. Researchers examined over 5,200 men and women aged 28-62 without heart disease and found that lifetime risks were 10.9% for men and 2.8% for women based on factors like blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking, and diabetes.
This document discusses gender differences in cardiac care. It summarizes findings from a study that used MRI scans to analyze how male and female hearts change with age. The study found significant differences: the male heart muscle grows thicker with age while the female heart retains its size or gets slightly smaller. This has implications for the types of heart failure seen in each gender and indicates a need for gender-specific treatments. Currently, diagnostics and treatments are often developed based on the male heart model. The study suggests men and women may develop heart disease for different reasons.
This document summarizes a presentation on harnessing personal choices like exercise, nutrition, and reducing toxins to improve health. It discusses how Americans currently eat more and exercise less, leading to epidemics of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Lifestyle changes like increased physical activity, a healthy diet, and avoiding smoking have been shown to significantly reduce risks of chronic diseases and mortality rates. The presentation provides recommendations for aerobic exercise, strength training, flexibility, and nutrition to promote health. It emphasizes developing SMART goals and support systems to successfully make positive lifestyle changes.
1) The document discusses several deadly diseases including heart disease, diabetes, and various cancers.

This document discusses gender differences in prevalent medical diseases and conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. It provides definitions of key terms like gender, disease, and prevalence. It then examines gender differences in risk factors for diseases according to sex, as well as differences in lifestyle behaviors, health service use, and disease prevalence between men and women.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Raphael Nyarkotey Obu on prostate cancer and the church's role in fighting the disease in Ghana. It discusses the anatomy and function of the prostate gland, risk factors for prostate cancer like aging and family history, symptoms of prostate cancer, screening and treatment options, prevention strategies like diet and exercise, and statistics on prostate cancer in Ghana. It also introduces Dr. Obu and his work founding the Men's Health Foundation of Ghana to increase awareness and screening for prostate cancer.
The document discusses healthy aging and avoiding hospitalization and re-hospitalization. It notes that in 2010, 17.2% of NYC's population was over 60 years old. Chronic illnesses are common among seniors, with 80% having at least one condition and heart disease, cancer, and respiratory diseases being top causes of death. Preventing re-hospitalization is important as it can be traumatic and lead to complications. Good discharge planning, follow up care, and managing chronic conditions can help reduce risks. Lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, and mental wellness are also discussed as important for healthy brain and body aging.
Similar to San Diego Radiosurgery: Men's Health Month (20)
The Novalis Tx® treats patients with a procedure called stereotactic radiosurgery, a nonsurgical method of treating tumors with high-dose radiation precisely aimed from different angles.
The document discusses prostate cancer, including its stages, diagnosis, and treatment options. It provides information on:
- The stages of prostate cancer range from Stage I, where cancer is found only in the prostate, to Stage IV, where cancer has metastasized to other parts of the body.
- Prostate cancer can be diagnosed through a digital rectal exam, PSA blood test, ultrasound, and Gleason score from a biopsy.
- Treatment options depend on cancer stage, health of the patient, and may include active surveillance, surgery, radiation therapy and more.
This document provides information on treatment options for prostate cancer. It discusses several treatment approaches including watchful waiting, surgery, external beam radiation therapy, brachytherapy, proton therapy, and stereotactic body radiation therapy. For each treatment option, it provides details on the procedure and recovery time, as well as potential side effects. The goal of the document is to educate patients diagnosed with prostate cancer on the various treatment approaches available.
San Diego Radiosurgery presents the American Cancer Society Facts and Figures 2013 annual report outlining the estimated numbers of new cancer cases and deaths in 2013 as well as current cancer incidence, mortality, and survival statistics and information on cancer symptoms, risk factors, early detection and treatment.
This document provides information about prostate cancer treatment using Novalis Tx stereotactic body radiosurgery. It describes how the Novalis Tx system uses fiducial markers and daily precision radiation treatments to target prostate tumors over the course of 5 treatments. Each 30-40 minute treatment is aimed to lock radiation beams onto the tumor location. The document outlines the treatment process, including initial consultation, pretreatment procedures, daily Novalis Tx treatments, and follow-up care.
This document provides information about brain tumors and their treatment. It notes that there are over 120 types of brain tumors, with some being cancerous and others non-cancerous. Each year about 66,000 new brain tumors are diagnosed in the United States. Common symptoms include headaches, vision changes, nausea, fatigue, tremors and seizures. Treatment options include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, conventional surgery, and stereotactic radiosurgery. The document also provides information about a local radiosurgery center and how people can help with brain tumor awareness.
San Diego Radiosurgery provides stereotactic radiosurgery using the Novalis Tx system. The Novalis Tx precisely delivers high-dose radiation to tumors from multiple angles in a short 15 minute session to minimize radiation exposure to healthy tissue. It is used to treat various cancerous and non-cancerous tumors throughout the body as an outpatient procedure without incisions or anesthesia.
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
low birth weight presentation. Low birth weight (LBW) infant is defined as the one whose birth weight is less than 2500g irrespective of their gestational age. Premature birth and low birth weight(LBW) is still a serious problem in newborn. Causing high morbidity and mortality rate worldwide.

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.
