UHN: University Health Network (Global Impact 2007)

Do you have erotic dreams?

Scientists found that approximately one in 12 people had confessed that they are engaging or doing some kind of sexual activity while they slept. They found also that from all these people three-quarters of the self-reported “sexsomniacs” are men.

Experts declared such sexual behaviour that occurred while sleeping can range from masturbation through to sexual intercourse. Researchers from the Sleep Research Laboratory at the University Health Network (UHN) in Toronto observed that the sleep disorder was more common in our days than previously thought.

In their study researchers enrolled 832 patients who they supposed of suffering from some kind of sleep disorder like sexsomnia.

The 428 men and 404 women completed questionnaires about their symptoms, about their fatigue, mood and even about their behavior during sleep. At the end of the investigation researchers found that more than one in 10 male and four percent of female confessed that they had engaged in “sleep sex”.

Dr. Sharon Chung, a scientist from the UHN, argued that people who suffer from it usually do not remember about being engaged in such activity.

“We were very surprised at how common it was. We considered that we would get only few people, yet it was approximately one in 12 participants,” reported Dr. Chung.

For the first time Mrs. Chung decided to study this sleep disorder – sexsomnia. And he was very surprised when found that eight percent of people reporting sexsomnia seems really a high number. She argued also that they only studied patients from a sleep clinic.

She added: “Is it a problem? As long as you do not get into legal problems and as long as your partner doesn’t mind, it is not a serious problem.”

However sexsomnia has only one negative result, because people with such disorders are tired the next day.

This new phenomenon is a form of parasomnia, or unwanted behavior during sleep. Sexsomnia can also happen during sleepwalking, according to the International Classification of Sleep Disorders.

Dr. Chung added also that insomnia, fatigue and depressed moods were common symptoms of people reporting sexsomnia.

Ohio Marriage Records Online

One of the most memorable moments in one’s life is when they attend their own wedding ceremony. Such event marks the beginning of their life after marriage. During such time, certain vows were made for each other and certain goals were built by the couple. Since a marriage record is an important document about a person, it is now included with those searchable vital public records in every state already. And Ohio Marriage Records is one.

Marriage records are valuable records that should be made available to everyone. If it’s easy to obtain them from other states, then it’s not the same as searching for Ohio Marriage Records which was known to cause difficulties at times. Different states are not the same when it comes to their way of keeping these marriage records. There are some which will keep the records based on how birth, death, and other records are kept. Still others do not even have a statewide basis in storing these marriage records. With regards to Ohio’s marriage records, these two filing methods are shown.

You can search for the State of Ohio Marriage Records at Ohio Department of Health’s Vital Statistics. However, this said department will only provide an index of the Ohio marriages since 1949 but not the actual marriage record. If you’re interested with such copy, then you can personally request for it or send a mail to the office that takes care of these records. As expected, certain procedures that you should follow can sometimes cause inconvenience. Because of that, people are now turning to those private providers that are available online which can provide you with the kind of service that you really need.

For the past few years, the marriage rate in the State of Ohio is actually decreasing. However, their number of marriage records is still obvious since they have a huge population size. Though these records exist, they are not available from public agencies. Located at Columbus, Ohio, Ohio Office of Vital Statistics is the state’s central office where you can get service for this type of concern. The public were informed that when a marriage record is requested by mail, he should pay for the service and have to wait for the processing time which will be within 2 to 3 weeks.

The details that you can obtain from the abstract copy that you get will just be used for the department’s purpose of indexing and filing because it is only limited. But such index will indicate the particular county probate court where a certain marriage record is maintained. If you do not know the location and the time period when the marriage happened, then you should not turn to those public sources for help but get a trusted professional record provider online that can really provide you what you basically need.

It has never been easy to search for Marriage Records Ohio. Thanks to the online support of those private providers who offer service for this matter for they made such task easier to perform now. With a one-time cost only, you can already find details which may include the brides’ and grooms’ full names, the wedding date, and the location too. It is also a great help when you’re checking on someone’s honesty about his previous real relationships. It can provide answers to your queries, and absolutely clears your mind after.

Defining bio-identical hormones.mp4

Trends in Health are Environmental Endocrinology and Menopause Medicine

Today an elite group of forward-thinking physicians and researchers from all over the world are trying to put the scientific method back into medicine. Doctors are learning how environmental endocrinology, the effect of daily stressors like light, food and crowding on multiple endocrine systems, controls the rate of aging and quality of life. Many aspects of diabetology and reproductive endocrinology are converging to become what we call menopause medicine.

Medical practitioners can now participate in an intensive introduction to the newest emerging specialty of endocrinology by attending “Two Days Back on Earth,” a CME course on environmental endocrinology, covering how stressors on multiple endocrine systems control the rate of aging and quality of life to be held at the GCC Planetarium, Glendale California. Darwinian Medicine or environmental endocrinology, covers menopause and the use of hormones in women.

Attended by physicians worldwide, the CME accredited seminar provides a maximum 17 hours of credits.

Today, doctors are being educated about bio-mimetic hormone restoration therapy (BHRT), currently termed bio-identical hormone replacement therapy. These doctors are learning about cutting edge research on: Cortisol metabolism over the course of a life; The interplay of insulin, SHBG and estrogen; The effect of declining quality of sleep on sex steroid production and use; The seasonal variation in hormone fluctuation through shunt physiology; The action of sex steroids on immunological, emotional and neurological disorders; How to adjust the Wiley Protocol to solve the common side effects of menopause hot flashes, joint pain, migraines, incontinence, hemorrhaging, endometriosis, hypo and hyperthyroidism, fibroids, PCOD, anxiety and depression, insomnia, acid reflux, gall bladder disease, thinning skin, vulvodynia, low libido, and IBS; The connection of insulin and sex hormones to cancer; Immunological cardiovascular risk, C-Reactive protein; Non-genomic actions of steroid hormones in reproductive tissues; and complex actions of sex steroids in adipose tissue, the cardiovascular system and brain.

“Since I took this course I have become more keenly aware of the nuances of hormonal interaction. The certification course really helps you understand the molecular aspects of hormonal relationships. What I learned really has helped me in the management of patients and I am constantly amazed at the level of interaction achieved on the protocol,” said Courtney Ridley M.D., a physician based in Houston, Texas. “It answers the questions being posed regarding cancer and other dysfunction afflicting not only menopausal women but those women with significant alteration of cycle created by interaction with our estrogen toxic environment.”

Preventing Teen Alcohol Abuse

It’s no secret that alcohol abuse is alive and well in high schools and college campuses across America. New research studies seek to investigate the root causes of teen alcohol abuse: the relationship between heavy drinking and social anxiety.

According to a recent report by the National Institute of Health (NIH), anxiety is a psychological risk factor associated with heavy or problem drinking among teenagers.

Along with anxiety and other psychological factors, the NIH report suggests that an impulsive personality and a family history of alcohol abuse may be additional risk factors for problem drinking.

People with social anxiety, both teenagers and adults alike, can benefit from these findings by taking action to eliminate risk factors for alcohol abuse and address their anxiety. Social anxiety is the most common type of anxiety disorder, affecting 15% of all Americans. Social anxiety, also known as social phobia, is diagnosed as overwhelming anxiety, fear, and self-consciousness in everyday social situations.

It triggers a host of physical symptoms, anxious thoughts, and avoidance behaviors. Often involved is a strong feeling of anxiety that others are looking at or judging them. The stress from this anxiety is often most pronounced during teen years and is often negated by alcohol abuse.

What You Can Do As A Parent?

Ask your teen why he or she drinks. Is it to help alleviate social fears and anxieties? To fit in, and not be judged? If so, explain to them the reality of the situation. They may be using alcohol in a vain attempt to cope with the root cause: social anxiety.

Drinking large amounts of alcohol may mask the problem for a few brief hours. However, once the mask comes off, the anxiety returns as strong as ever. Teen alcohol abuse does not cure social anxiety.

In fact, instead of curing one problem, teen alcohol abuse creates another. Instead of one problem to overcome, there are now two problems, social anxiety AND alcohol abuse.

Here are several ways you can empower your teenager to address the root causes of social anxiety, instead of masking the problem with heavy drinking.

1. Change their expectations about what alcohol can do for their stress level. National Institute of Health research indicates that when a teen EXPECTS that alcohol will relieve stress and lead to higher levels of social acceptance, it leads to increased drinking.

Problem drinkers tend to believe these two thoughts. In fact, there is much debate as to whether this assumption is actually true.

While some studies suggest that low levels of alcohol temporarily reduce the stress response (also known as the fight or flight response), other studies now indicate that alcohol actually INDUCES the stress response by stimulating the release of stress hormones such as corticosterone and adrenaline.

2. Encourage them to build a social support system. Many teens rely on drinking for social support. Instead of using drinking to connect with others, seek social support outside of the drinking environment. This is easier said than done, since it is a catch-22: the social anxiety is what hinders these types of connections in the first place.

Remember, the longest journey is accomplished one step at a time. Start with safe people like a trusted family member, a best friend, counselor, or pastor, and build from there.

Some colleges offer group therapy for people with social anxiety, which gives your teen an opportunity to learn how to overcome her fears in a safe environment with people who understand what she is going through.

3. Encourage your teen to increase his sense of control over social anxiety by learning anxiety reduction techniques. Nutritional strategies for reducing anxiety, deep breathing, guided imagery, and cognitive-behavioral strategies are just a few examples of anxiety reduction techniques that can bring about positive results.

Anxiety reduction techniques can be highly effective tools in helping conquer anxiety. For example, NIH findings indicate that cognitive-behavioral therapy can be as effective as medication in treating anxiety, and even more effective than medication at preventing long-term recurrence of anxiety.

Teen alcohol abuse will likely never be totally eradicated as long as there are both teens and alcohol. By far, the largest factor in preventing teen alcohol abuse is active, positive involvement by the parents in the lives of the teenager.

Fat Reduction Products And Common Risks

You really do not have to go far before you discover the ads that promise to help make the fat melt away in less than a week. You recognize the ones that are patches and pills that tell you their special formula will make your fat vanish entirely forever over the weekend. Keep in mind that many of these varieties of products have not been accredited or backed by the FDA.

There is no assurance that the FTC can put a halt to misleading advertising basically because they are overwhelmed. If you do an adequate amounts of your own research, you will see that a lof so called herbal constituents have not been studied or approved for specific uses as promoted.

Our perception is many of these products feed on people who are desperate, and they are most probable to use these products. The availability of these products makes it quite simple for people to buy them, and they could wrongly assume all is risk-free to use them. On the other hand, consider that many substances make it to the shelves without any testing for safety. There are quite a few organic ingredients that could bring about serious medical problems, such as contributing to death. Ephedra is today banned for use in the US, and that is only one high profile case in point of which we speak. But that is just one, and there are others that are of a equivalent likely risk.

Also consider something like Phenylpropanolamine Hydro Choride which is a serious risk to some people, and yet you can Google it and find an ad to buy it. More than ten years ago there was really quite a stir created about this certain ingredient that was put to use in cold medicines and fat loss pills. The usual practice is to promote these kinds of ingredients under trade names of numerous kinds. What was so stunning about Phenylpropanolamine is that it was linked to all varieties of very serious health conditions related to the heart, and evidently could end up in death. Even so, you can easily buy this particular ingredient on the web; we know mainly because we have noticed the ads for it. So just think about the danger that is posed to people who have no notion about potential hazards with using it.

Personal safety is an individual responsibility at some point, and there is only so much any governmental organization can do. Just think about the process that allows for a harmful product to remain and be easily bought so long after the facts are known. Also, another regrettable situation is that very many individuals turn to these products maybe because they are too lazy to use the old fashioned solution.
