Is Your Multivitamin Doing Anything For Your Heart?

Multivitamins have long been seen as a quick solution for a number of problems, the most notable being heart disease and stroke. Recently, though, a new study has shown that they, in fact, don’t prevent either. The American Heart Association reports that one third of American consume multivitamins, convinced that they will solve their cardiac problems. A recent study , released by Dr. Joonseok Kim states that, “ One of the big problems with multivitamin use is that it could deviate the public from following the measures that are proven to be beneficial for cardiovascular health, including eating fruits and vegetables, and doing more exercise.” Another study recently concluded that multivitamins offer no protection against heart disease and stroke. These studies are particularly convincing as they use clinical trials where doctors and scientists may closely control many confounding variables. This news is unnerving for many, as they may now see themselves as at risk for heart

Certifying ACLS and PALS Online

    Health care providers are aware of ACLS and PALS certifications. When needing a provider card, most people need a quick solution that will not interfere with the strenuous work schedules. The best way to accomplish this is through online ACLS PALS certification. Not only can you certify from anywhere in the world through an online program, but it is easier to work around a hectic life. Online ACLS and PALS courses are private and self-paced, and this allows the student to study and complete the course on their time. Many may already be familiar with the ACLS and PALS algorithms and are capable of completing the work quickly. Others may prefer to move at a slower pace and review areas of the online training analytically. In both cases self-paced online courses afford the luxury of a personalized learning experience. Individual healthcare providers are able to tailor the class to their own private needs. Below are some of the many other advantages to signing up for online ACL

ACLS and BCLS: What Are They and Who Needs Them

ACLS and BCLS are integral credentials for medical professionals to have. ACLS is short for Advanced Cardiac Life Support, while BCLS is short for Basic Cardiac Life Support. BCLS is also known as BLS, Basic Life Support.  It  is recommended that doctors are well-versed and certified in both. These certifications prepare trainees for a wide range of heart conditions and complications that are likely to occur in a medical setting. These skills are applicable for resuscitation and cardiac support in hospitals and in the field.    BCLS is not limited to medical professionals. CPR is a common term for BCLS. The certification is very common, as  medical  professionals, dentists, first responders, and lifeguards are typically required to be certified to obtain a license to work in their respective fields.   Being certified in ACLS is more difficult, yet it is recommended for more advanced cardiac life support situations where a higher degree of knowledge is required to properly ass

Officials Encourage Summer Water Safety

by Max Gotlieb Healthcare Reporter As summer approaches, many will begin swimming in pools, lakes, and the ocean. Swimming, a fun pastime, is enjoyable, yet extremely dangerous when proper precautions are not taken. Drowning is the fatal consequence of pool safety not being taken seriously. According to the CDC , there is an average of 3,536 deaths as a result of unintentional drowning every year. Children aged 14 years and younger account for 1 of every 5 unintentional drowning deaths. It is crucial to understand risk factors that contribute to drowning. These include swimming without the proper ability, lack of barriers around the body of water, lack of supervision, alcohol use, and preexisting medical conditions. Meghan Holohan from Today.com writes, " For safer open water swimming the organization recommends teaching open water swimming, as well as pool swimming, and having a designated "watcher" who keeps an eye on swimmers the whole time they'

ACLS Certification Eyes Virtual Reality

ACLS Certification Eyes Virtual Reality Posted by Max Gotlieb - Healthcare Reporter Virtual reality has  transcended the notion that it is solely for entertainment purposes. No longer is virtual reality only used in video games and remote  laboratories . Recently, the new technology has been adopted for practical uses. The complex computer functions work to simulate and recreate human senses and real situations.    Obviously, this technology would seem to be perfect for medical applications.

The Male Birth Control Pill

By  Alexa Lardieri , Staff Writer, US News A CONTRACEPTIVE PILL  for men is a step closer to approval after early trials of a once-daily pill showed it to be safe and effective, according to researchers. The new pill, known as DMAU for its chemical name, dimethandrolone undecanoate, is similar to the female birth control pill. It contains a combination of hormones – an androgen, like testosterone, and progestin – said the study's senior investigator, Dr. Stephanie Page, a professor of medicine at the University of Washington. Taken daily, it could bring sperm count low enough so a man cannot get his partner pregnant. "DMAU is a major step forward in the development of a once-daily 'male pill,'"  Page said  at the Endocrine Society's annual conference. "Many men say they would prefer a daily pill as a reversible contraceptive, rather than long-acting injections or topical gels, which are also in development." Developmen
