Editor’s

Note

Notice anything new about this page? Or maybe this month’s cover caught your eye. Here at The Health Journal we’ve spent the last several weeks redesigning the magazine to better serve our readers and offer new advertising options to local businesses. And here it is—our first issue of 2010—ready for your review. But don’t worry: Your favorite departments are still here, from Snapshots—your community bulletinboard for health-related photos—to our monthly Profile, which this month features a widow who counsels local families affected by Alzheimer’s disease. The Health Journal is here to give your new year a shotgun start to better health. For example, this month’s Local Beat story (page 7) has tips for finding the gym that fits your needs as well as a mini-directory of leading local gyms and what they offer to their members. Starting a strength training routine is just one of the six resolutions local experts advise everyone to make this year, followed by living greener and being more optimistic. Find that article (written by Alison Johnson) starting on page 12. Most fitness experts agree that a successful program for sustained weight loss requires three core elements: cardiovascular activity, strength/resistance training and a carefully controlled diet. On page 17, Personal Trainer Gayle Pinn gives readers a refresher course on what it takes to lose weight and keep it off in “Back to the Basics.” What better time than the start of a new year to clean out and stock up your family’s medicine cabinet? Sharon Miller Cindrich shares why it’s important to have the right (and, preferably, unexpired) supplies on hand for any emergency. Locals like us know that Hampton Roads scores high in areas such as history and higher education—but what about health care? Starting on page 20, you’ll get a glimpse of medical marvels such as temporary hearts and scalpel-free surgery, all available within our region. We hope you enjoy this issue and the upgrades we’ve made with readers in mind. The evolution won’t end here, though. Our content is largely based on feedback from readers like you. Don’t hesitate to drop us a line by e-mail, telling us what types of articles you’d like to see in upcoming issues. We’ll also bring you new departments as the year continues, such as a triathlon training series (starting soon) and a new “Editor’s Picks” section that highlights my favorite trends in health foods, fitness gadgets, workout gear and more. If your business would like a product featured, send your samples to our office for consideration. Here’s to 2010—may it be your best year yet.

Ready to Get Fit? Find a gym that’s right for you Written by Joy Vann

Photography By Brian M. Freer

Scott Grafton, owner of Ironbound Gym, recommends that anyone shopping for a gym take a trial workout or two before committing to a full membership.

itness experts from across Hampton Roads agree that when it comes to selecting a gym, it’s important that you feel as comfortable there as you do in your sweats and sneakers. In addition to a comfortable atmosphere, other considerations include a convenient location, affordability and cleanliness as well as accessible, friendly staff who are on the floor to offer assistance or demonstrate equipment. “Convenience is the main thing to consider,” says Phil Curtain, co-owner of Inlet Fitness and Inlet Written by Joy Vann

South in Virginia Beach. “It already takes effort just to go to the gym so if it’s out of the way it’s that much easier to blow off.” If your New Year’s resolutions include joining a fitness club, start by taking a tour of several gyms close to your home or work. Stacy Theodore, owner of Anytime Fitness in Virginia Beach, likens finding the right gym to choosing a college. “You take a tour and see if it feels good,” she says, noting that every gym has its own unique atmosphere. “Sometimes, it doesn’t work.” During your tours, be sure to ask about discounts. This time of year many gyms suspend their annual joining fee. Discounts are also often available for couples, families, seniors and the military. The most common bit of advice from gym managers is to take advantage of free trial offers. Scott Grafton, owner of Ironbound Gym in Williamsburg, suggests taking a trial workout before making a commitment. “Go to a cardio class, or have a one-on-one session with a personal trainer and see if you’re comfortable,” he says. “You’ll know pretty quickly if the place is right for you.” With H1NI and seasonal flu still threatening, enough can’t be said about the necessity of cleanliness in a fitness facility. Gyms should have numerous cleaning stations and encourage members to follow basic guidelines for sanitizing equipment after use. Check out the locker rooms to see if they meet your standards. Once you’ve found your gym home, the question remains—how do you meet your goals and stick with a program? Start by setting realistic expectations. “When I ask people how many days they plan to work out each week, many people say four or five,” Grafton says. “I say, ‘That’s a great goal, but why not commit to just three days a week and make days four and five bonus days?’ That way they don’t feel bad if they miss the fourth or fifth day and get discouraged.” Curtain suggests frequently changing routines to stay motivated. “You don’t want to get bored,” he emphasizes. “Try something new every 30 days to keep your workouts fresh. If your body gets bored, you get bored.” Ben Dickerson, a manager and personal trainer at Wareings Gym in Virginia Beach, agrees. “Your body gets acclimated to the routine and doesn’t benefit after a while,” he explains. “I recommend that people use multiple tools so that they don’t become bored and have a wide variety of activities that [complement] each other.”

Virginia Beach Recreation Centers

<www.vbgov.com>

There are six centers throughout the city including locations in Bayside, Bow Creek, Great Neck, Kempsville and Seatack. Each has an indoor swimming pool and gymnasium and areas for group fitness classes. While the cardio and weight equipment is at a premium during busy times, such as when the after-work crowd arrives, many find waiting for a treadmill worth it versus the cost of membership at private gyms. The full, annual adult membership is $280; however, City of Virginia Beach residents receive a substantial discount. Annual adult resident membership is $66, and the senior rate is $53. Personal training and classes cost extra; an unlimited 90-day group fitness pass is $90, or members can pay $2 for each 30-minute class and $4 for each hour class.

U.S. Diabetes Cases To Double, Costs Triple By 2034

Diabetes costs could further strain nation’s health system. Written By Julie Steenhuysen CHICAGO (Reuters)

y 2034, nearly twice as many Americans will have diabetes and spending on the disease will triple, further straining the nation’s health system and testing the viability of Medicare and other government health insurance programs, U.S. researchers said last month. “We forecast that in the next 25 years, the population size of people with diabetes—both diagnosed and undiagnosed—will rise from approximately 24 million people to 44 million people,” said Dr. Elbert Huang of the University of Chicago, whose study appears in the journal Diabetes Care. “We anticipate that the cost of taking care of those people—and these are direct medical costs—will triple over the same period of time, going from $113 billion today to $336 billion [per year],” Huang said in a telephone interview.

Huang said the burden of treating so many people with diabetes will strain the viability of Medicare, the U.S. health insurance program for the elderly and disabled. Huang projects that the number of people covered by Medicare will rise from 8.2 million to 14.6 million, and annual Medicare spending on diabetes will jump from $45 billion to $171 billion. In the United States, about 11 percent of adults have diabetes. Most have type 2 diabetes, the kind closely linked to obesity. The rising diabetes burden could further complicate efforts to rein in U.S. health care spending in the coming decades. Congress is currently grappling with legislation to extend health coverage to millions of uninsured people, control health care spending and bar insurance industry practices such as denying coverage to people with pre-existing medical conditions. “Diabetes is a major public health problem right now, but it’s important for the country and for policymakers to have an idea of what will happen in

Most have type 2 diabetes, the kind closely linked to obesity. the next couple of decades,” Huang said. “We already have a financial crisis at hand in health care, and we need to plan for how we can deal with those costs in the future.” For the study, Huang and fellow researchers built a model of diabetes population costs that can forecast how many people will develop diabetes over the next decades and how much it will cost. The model accounts for the size of different generations that will be entering the diabetes population. “That is important to account for, because we know that age itself is a major predictor of diabetes, and we know that the baby boomer generation is entering an age where there’s a high risk of developing diabetes,” Huang said. The model also assumes that no progress is made in terms of rates of obesity, diabetes prevention and diabetes care. If obesity levels rise, Huang said, the model may actually underestimate the problem. The report emphasizes the importance of public health efforts already underway aimed at reducing the number of people who have diabetes. Says Huang: “We know from a recent trial—the Diabetes Prevention Program— [that] we can prevent diabetes through diet and exercise.” In that 10-year study, overweight people with elevated blood sugar levels who lost a modest amount of weight lowered their risk of developing diabetes by at least a third. People over age 60 got even more dramatic results, cutting their risk of diabetes during the study period by about half. According to Huang, “Preventing diabetes is the first step.”

What’s Up, Doc? Talking with kids about the doctor Written By Sharon Miller Cindrich

“Am I going to get a shot?” It is the most popular—and anxiety-laden—question kids ask when they hear they have an appointment at the doctor’s office. “Needles, shots and finger pricks are by far the greatest fear kids have when it comes to going to the doctor,” says Sam Fabian, parent educator with Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters in Norfolk. While it may be the most common reason for a child’s apprehension, getting a shot is not the only thing that causes a child’s nerves to fray when visiting a doctor. “The anxiety [also] stems from pain [and] fear of [the doctor] looking at their body and, more specifically, private parts,” explains Fabian, adding that generally kids between the ages of four and 12 experience the most anxiety. Parents may view their child’s occasional doctor visit as inconsequential, but the experiences can leave lasting impressions. “Each visit will bring a new experience, and the way the parent and doctor handle even the most distraught child can make a difference in future visits to the doctor,” says Fabian. Whether you’re taking your toddler in for the sniffles or your teen needs a flu shot, follow these tips to make the experience as painless as possible:

Avoid a surprise. “Often parents hold off in telling the child until the last minute about going to the doctor,” says Fabian. “Children are no different than adults. They like to know what to expect. When we are surprised or feel like we do not have enough information, we will react and panic.” Manage expectations. “Parents should prepare the child, depending on their age, a day or two before and give them age-appropriate information that will help them understand what will happen,” says

Fabian. Talk about the waiting room, the sign-in desk and what happens once the nurse calls your child back to see the doctor. Details will help your child create a picture of the experience in his or her mind. Be honest. Protect the trust your child has in you by answering his or her questions honestly, even if there is a little pain in the picture. “If the child is getting a shot, never lie”, says Fabian. “Let them know it is to keep them from getting sick and that it may feel like a pinch, but it will be over in two seconds or less. Never tell them it won’t hurt.” Acknowledge anxiety. It is completely normal to be worried about getting blood drawn, a flu shot or a finger prick. Even children who are acting brave will benefit from a reminder that a little bit of worry is normal and that they aren’t alone in feeling anxious.

Remain calm. A toddler can throw a tantrum. Even an older child can be rude out of fear. As tensions get high, however, parents need to stay cool. “The more upset you get, the more the child will, too,” says Fabian. “The fear-anxiety response is something they cannot control, and it is OK.” He adds that pediatricians and their staff are well trained in working with children of every age and will not judge you if your toddler or teen gets upset.

Talk about the experience. No matter what happens in the doctor’s office, talk about it. Did the shot hurt as much as your child expected? Was the doctor nice? Did your child like the sticker he or she received? Giving children an opportunity to talk about their feelings will lay a foundation for their next visit and reassure them that you care about their experience. THE HEALTH JOURNAL

New Year’s Resolu Written By Alison Johnson

s the calendar flips to a new year, many people turn to an old tradition—deciding what they’d like to change in their lives. To help narrow down the list of choices for 2010, local health experts offer these six New Year’s resolutions they say everyone should make:

Help combat germs. The H1N1 virus has made this flu season scarier than usual, but everyone has the power to slow the spread of disease, says Dr. S. William Berg, director of the Hampton Health District. Washing hands frequently, sneezing or coughing into tissues and staying home until a fever has been gone at least 24 hours are smart strategies. So is getting vaccinated for both seasonal and H1N1 viruses. And January is by no means too late: Flu season in Hampton Roads typically doesn’t peak until January or February and continues through March or April, and this year may be more unpredictable. “Your personal flu shot also protects many other people—your family, friends, co-workers,” Berg says. “If you don’t get sick, you can’t make other people sick. These might include people who have other health problems and who might get a lot sicker from the flu virus than you would.”

Take control of your health. For starters, go back

to that old motherly mantra: get a good night’s sleep, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and play outside, says Dr. Phillip Snider, a family practitioner with Bon Secours Medical Associates in Virginia Beach. “Despite overwhelming evidence showing how important a good diet, exercise and adequate sleep are, Americans as a group do a poor job in following through,” he says. Snider also recommends researching family medical histories, getting all recommended preventive screenings and having regular physical exams to stay on top of suspicious skin changes and often-symptomless problems such as high blood pressure and pre-diabetes. Give the doctor lists of all prescription and over-the-counter medications you are taking (including herbals or other supplements) as well as any allergies, past health conditions, surgeries and major injuries. “It is very important that this information is in one place in case you get sick and can’t communicate for yourself,” Snider says.

Start strength training. Even many regular exercisers

haven’t grasped that working out with weights is critical to weight loss, flexibility, balance, bone strength, energy level and mood, says Kelly Cox, director of operations at the Riverside Wellness & Fitness Center in Newport News. “People may think that strength training is only for guys or athletes, but it’s important to know that it has benefits for all ages,” Cox says. “A regular program will allow a reduction of body fat and an increase of lean muscle mass, which will allow more calories to burn more efficiently.”

lutions You Owe Yourself Lifts with exercise bands and dumbbells—or common household objects such as water bottles— and push-ups, squats and lunges all count. With weights, Cox recommends beginning with a resistance level that will tire muscles after about 12 repetitions. Also be sure to stretch out and give each muscle group a day of rest between sessions. (For more advice on starting a strength-training routine, turn to page 17.)

Get to a healthy weight. This is the most common

resolution every year—and many people make it repeatedly with little success. “Making a change in your lifestyle for permanent weight control and optimal health can be very challenging,” says Holly Hicks, a registered dietitian and wellness programming coordinator at the Riverside Wellness & Fitness Center. What might make the difference this year? Lining up more support, research suggests; for example, people are 50 percent more likely to start exercising if their spouse or partner joins them, according to a Duke University study. Some ideas: team up with family, friends, co-workers or neighbors for a weight-loss challenge; make an appointment with a nutritionist or personal trainer; or find a support group locally or online.

Become more optimistic. During tough times, reduce

your exposure to bad news (or go to www.goodnewsnetwork. org for an alternate take on the news), stay active, socialize with positive people and make a conscious choice to see the best side of situations, says Terilyn J. Goins, a Yorktownbased motivational speaker and trainer. “What I think dictates how I feel, and how I feel dictates how I act,” Goins says.

Keeping

You Active.

resolutions

“For example, if I send an e-mail to someone and get no response, I can automatically assume that the person received the e-mail and is simply ignoring me, or I can figure they must not have received my e-mail and follow up with a telephone call….Every moment we spend focusing on the negative requires valuable energy that could be directed toward something more productive. If you want to accomplish a goal, tell yourself you can do it, act as if you believe what you’ve said, and you will make it happen!”

Live more greenly. The average person generates a

whopping 4.6 pounds of trash a day, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. A bit more daily reflection can do a lot to decrease trash loads as well as unnecessary car trips and wasted water, says Tammy Rojek, recycling and water conservation specialist for the City of Williamsburg. “[Terms like] ‘global warming’ and ‘carbon footprint’ sound so daunting—so ‘where-the-polar-bears-live’— but it doesn’t begin in the land of icebergs and snow,” Rojek says. “It begins in our own backyard. We each play a part in the big picture.” So, seek out recycling containers rather than trash cans. Fix leaky faucets, take shorter showers—each minute can eat up seven gallons of water, turn off tap water while brushing teeth, don’t run a dishwasher or laundry machine without a full load and use old pet water to water plants. Bike, carpool and consolidate errands into single trips. And shop for local produce at farmers’ markets. For more ideas, visit www.planetgreen.discovery.com/go-green.

Doctors say more evidence is needed

Burden of

aking drastic changes to U.S. breast cancer screening guidelines will take much stronger evidence than that offered by a federal advisory panel, U.S. doctors said in November. They said the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommendation advising against routine mammograms for women in their 40s was a gamble many doctors are not willing to take. The recommendations to scale back breast cancer screening created a fierce backlash from physicians and an outcry from women, forcing U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to renounce the guidelines and assure women they did not reflect U.S. policy. Dr. Len Lichtenfeld, deputy chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society, rejects the notion offered by some Republicans that the new guidelines are motivated by a push to ration health care. But he said such decisions need to be based on strong evidence, especially when evidence is conflicting. “Here we have a strategy that has been in place for 20 years and it’s worked. The task force is coming in and saying, ‘Forget the fact that it worked. We think this is the right way.’ If the science was strong, we would agree with it,” Lichtenfeld said. “If they are right, no problem. But if they are wrong, we won’t find out for 20 years. That is the risk,” he added. Instead of an annual mammogram starting at 40, the new guidelines call for routine screening to start at age 50 for women of average risk, and say mammograms should be done every other year instead of yearly to balance the harms of false positive results with the benefits of saving lives. The guidelines also recommend against teaching women to do self breast exams, because they say the evidence is not strong enough to show the practice saves lives.

One obvious concern is whether women might die of breast cancer because of the recommendations, said Dr. Thomas Herzog of Columbia University in New York, chairman of an American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists subcommittee on gynecologic cancers. He and others also questioned the task force’s heavy reliance on computer models instead of real-life data. “I guess the problem, if anything, that people have is this is based on theory,” Herzog said in a telephone interview. “It may be excellent theory. It may be the best theory out there, but nonetheless, it’s not prospective data that says how these new guidelines are actually going to perform,” he added. “We will only know looking back if these guidelines did their job.” Both the American Cancer Society and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists stand by their current recommendations for screening mammograms to start at age 40. Ironically, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists have scaled back cervical cancer screening guidelines based on studies in women that show screening women under age 21 can result in overtreatment and difficulty carrying a child full term. Lichtenfeld said there is far more agreement on the decision to change cervical cancer screening guidelines. And he said new evidence on the harms of prostate cancer screening, which can cause overtreatment resulting in a lifetime of impotence and incontinence, is changing two decades of screening advice for men on that cancer. “Then you have breast cancer screening, where experts are looking at the same data and coming to markedly different conclusions,” he said. “That is the crux of the issue.”

Make sure you have the right—and unexpired—supplies on hand to survive this year’s cold and flu season.

Medicine Cabinet

Makeover

WRITTEN BY SHARON MILLER CINDRICH

eadache? Sniffles? Full-fledged stomach flu? When you’re feeling ill, the first reaction may be to reach into your medicine cabinet to find something to make you feel better. But while worrying about taking care of our family’s health, many of us don’t know whether our medicine cabinet is healthy or not. The Food and Drug Administration recommends giving your medicine cabinet an annual checkup. The start of a new year is a great time to clean out that cabinet, restock expired supplies and check the batteries in the digital thermometer.

Have Flu Remedies Ready

As far as medicines go, pharmacist David Kuzma recommends having a fresh supply of ibuprofen or acetaminophen on hand, most often prescribed along with fluids and rest to fight off the flu. “Have these [items] in appropriate doses for all age groups in your household,” he says. “If you have children, you’ll want liquid dose forms, and for adults, tablets or capsules.”

While you may have bottles of these types of medicines left over from your most recent headaches, Kuzma reminds folks that expiration dates are different for every medication, and checking those should be first on your list when cleaning out your medicine cabinet. “Once you open a bottle of hydrogen peroxide, it deteriorates quickly,” says Kuzma, who adds that even first-aid staples such as rubbing alcohol have expiration dates. “These products are very inexpensive” but nonetheless important, he says. And while your bathroom medicine cabinet may be a great place to store your contact lenses, bandages and toothpaste, it is not the best place to store your medications. “The worst place to store medicine is your bathroom,” Kuzma says. “Humidity breaks down products rapidly, especially tablet forms.” Instead, he suggests finding a cool, dry, dark place where prescription and over-the-counter medications can be kept safely out of the reach of children. Continued on page 16 THE HEALTH JOURNAL

Clean out, stock up and be prepared by following these basic tips when giving your medicine cabinet an annual makeover:

Move your medicine. Store first-aid supplies, gauze pads, bandages and everyday hygiene products in your bathroom medicine cabinet. Move prescription drugs and over-the-counter medicines to a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children and preferably in a childproof box.

Keep medication packaging and information. Store medication in its original packaging to easily reference expiration dates, dosage information and drug interactions. Keep a file of extra paperwork you might receive with a prescription, even if you’ve been taking the same medication for years. You never know when you’ll need to check on side effects or drug interactions.

Stick with one pharmacy. It’s best to fill all your prescriptions and overthe-counter needs at one pharmacy so the pharmacists will have a complete record of your medication history and can screen for potentially hazardous drug interactions. Some pharmacies will even honor competitors’ coupons to keep you as a customer.

16 THE HEALTH JOURNAL

Throw out dusty bottles. If alcohol, hydrogen peroxide and even antacid bottles are dusty or don’t display expiration dates, assume they have expired. Similarly, if medicine labels are missing or unreadable, safely discard them.

Restock first-aid supplies. Open bandage boxes to make sure you have plenty, check lotions to make sure they aren’t dried up, stock up on cotton balls and swabs, and find the tweezers and scissors that may have been misplaced.

Back to the Basics 3 Steps to Lasting Weight Loss WRITTEN BY GAYLE PINN

f your holiday indulgences are now appearing on the scale, or if years of gradual weight gain have finally caught up with you, then perhaps it’s time to get back to the basics. Weight loss is simple: burn more calories than you eat. Yes, I know that’s easy for me to say; but, if you can stay focused and follow this three-part plan, you’ll find that lasting weight loss is not so difficult to achieve. The three basic principles of weight loss are cardiovascular exercise, strength/resistance training and a healthy diet/lifestyle. Combine that formula with motivation and commitment, and soon you’ll be laughing your way to the scale. Continued on page 18

While it is possible to lose weight through diet alone, you’ll risk hitting a plateau. But when you combine a reduced-calorie diet with a cardio program and resistance/strength training, you’ll not only achieve your goal—you’ll find that it is easier to maintain your results.

Resistance/strength training is often the missing link in Part II a weight-loss program, but without it, you won’t see lasting results. The more lean body mass (muscle) you have, the more calories you burn at rest. If you allow your muscles to atrophy (either through inactivity or by not challenging your muscles), your metabolism will decrease, which will cause weight gain. Cardiovascular workouts are effective and necessary but only raise your metabolism temporarily. For example, after an hour of running your metabolism will return to normal within the following hour. On the other hand, resistance training will permanently raise your metabolism because it requires first breaking down muscle tissue and then rebuilding it—only stronger, firmer and with more tone. This process takes time and energy (i.e., calories). Muscles need energy, so the more muscle tone you have, the higher your metabolism will consistently be. In addition, research shows that those who follow a strength-training program for two months burn, on average, about 200 calories more per workout than those whose exercise regimen does not include strength training.

Resistance/ strength training

FYI: 1 pound of muscle burns about 50 calories a day,

while 1 pound of fat burns about 4 calories a day.

Q: A:

30 MINUTES

If you’re trying to lose weight, cardio exercise is key because it burns calories. The best activity is the one Part I Cardio you’ll do on a regular basis. So, finding a physical activity you like is critical to reaching your weight-loss goals. That said, different activities have different intensity levels. For example, a person weighing 150 pounds would burn a different amount of calories depending on the exercise. Walking at 4 mph: 170 calories Mowing the lawn with a push mower: 200 calories Stationary bike: 238 calories Spinning (at moderate intensity): 239 calories Running at 5 mph: 270 calories Swimming: 270 calories

FYI: 1 pound of body fat = 3,500 calories

Q: A:

How Much Cardio Do I Need? The American College of Sports Medicine and the American Heart Association each recommend about 60 minutes of moderate-tovigorous-intensity exercise on most days. If you’re a beginner, start with 30 minutes of moderate-intensity cardio three to four days a week and work up to 45 to 60 minutes, five to six days a week. Bottom line? Cardio will help you lose weight, but it is most effective when combined with strength training and a healthy, low-calorie diet.

18 THE HEALTH JOURNAL

How Much Resistance Training Should You Do? Lift two or three days a week, performing three sets of 10 to 12 repetitions with weights heavy enough to fatigue your muscles by the end of each set.

Technically, there is no magic number of calories to eat to lose weight. While some people can lose weight Part III Diet by eating around 1,500 calories a day, with a little math you can assess your own personal caloric needs: To lose one pound of fat, you must burn approximately 3,500 calories over and above what you already burn through normal daily activities. That sounds like a lot of calories, and you certainly wouldn’t want to try to burn 3,500 calories in one day. However, you can determine what it would take to burn or cut enough calories to result in healthy weight-loss. Here’s how :

Calculate your BMR (basal metabolic rate). This is the minimum number of calories you need to eat each day just to survive. To find out your BMR, go to this Web site: http://exercise.about.com/cs/fitnesstools/g/ BMR.htm. (Keep in mind that no calculator will be fully accurate, so you may need to adjust these numbers as you go along.)

Calculate how many calories you burn through exercise. For example, try http://exercise.about.com/cs/fitnesstools/l/blcalorieburn. htm. Or, even better, you could wear a heart rate monitor during your workout to calculate the number of calories burned.

Calculate your average daily caloric intake. You may need to keep a food journal to help with this. (Try the online food journal at www. thecaloriecounter.com.)

Now, use the following formula to figure out how many calories you need to burn daily: Take your BMR, add your activity calories and then subtract your food calories from that total. If you’re eating more than you’re burning (i.e., your BMR + activity burn is 2,000, and you’re eating 2,400 calories a day), you’ll gain weight. If you’re burning more than you eat, you’ll lose weight.

TIP: Think of weight loss as a lifestyle change: rather than looking for instant results, settle in for the long run.

Hampton Roads Embraces Medicine’s Ne

In a scene from Star Trek, Dr. Leonard H. McCoy time-travels back to present day, and he’s horrified by the primitive practice of doctors cutting into their patients with scalpels and performing archaic treatments like chemotherapy. Just as life ever imitates art, medical technology ever imitates science fiction. Today’s patients are now benefitting from robotic surgery and chemotherapy alternatives, while doctors are being trained in virtual-reality environments. At the forefront of modern innovation, Hampton Roads is home to many a medical marvel, from bloodless surgery to 3-D imaging to replacement organs. Here are just a few examples of what our region’s health care leaders have to offer.

1. ROBOTIC SURGERY

20 THE HEALTH JOURNAL

Until recently, minimally invasive surgery was limited to simple procedures. The rule seemed to be: The more complex the operation, the bigger the incision. But experts now have the da Vinci Surgical System, and both internal abdominal exams (laparoscopy) and many types of major surgery can be performed through the smallest of incisions. With four black robotic arms built to “hold” scalpels, cutters, cauterizers and cameras, the da Vinci operating table only looks intimidating. Named for the Italian inventor who conceived the first robot, the da Vinci system doesn’t eliminate the human factor altogether: It takes a skilled surgeon to operate its controls. Dr. Michael Fabrizio of Sentara Norfolk General Hospital participated in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s clinical trials for the first generation of robotic surgical systems, and he has been operating a da Vinci machine since 2004. Twenty da Vinci surgical systems are now located across the state of Virginia, including three in Hampton Roads: at Sentara Norfolk, Riverside Regional Medical

2. “CAVE” SIMULATOR

“Are you a Star Trek fan?” asks Dr. Leonard Weireter, Jr., responding to a query about the workings of the Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE) simulator. Weireter likens the device to the Star Fleet’s “holodeck,” saying it creates an immersive virtual reality environment for the purposes of medical training, evaluation and research. The Virginia Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Center (VMASC)—a non-profit enterprise located in Norfolk and supported by Old Dominion University’s Research Foundation—is home to a CAVE prototype that serves as a training ground for students at Eastern Virginia Medical School. Weireter, a professor of surgery at EVMS and medical director of the Shock Trauma Center at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, has taken students out of the classroom and put them inside the CAVE’s 10-foot cube, where they are surrounded by projection walls that create a virtual environment. Once inside, an electronic wand controls a virtually unlimited range of 3-D objects that are used to practice procedures and gain skills—all before putting on a white coat. “We’re not at a holodeck level yet,” says Weireter, “but the realism is good.”

Dr. Leonard Weireter, Jr., compares the 3-D virtual environment of the CAVE simulator to the holodeck aboard starships in the fictional world of Star Trek.

3. STEREOTACTIC RADIOSURGERY

Center in Newport News, and Bon Secours Maryview Medical Center in Portsmouth. “The system is very ergonomic,” Fabrizio says. “The visualization and technology are amazing. It’s a 3-D view with 10x magnification.” Da Vinci’s system design allows surgeons to operate the controls from a seated position, manipulating the robotic arms to guide tiny instruments with precision and dexterity. The system is used locally to perform minimally invasive abdominal, urologic, gynecologic, cardiothoracic and general surgeries. (Read The Health Journal’s coverage of Riverside’s da Vinci robot [November 2006] online at www.thehealthjournals.com.) The da Vinci’s cost to hospitals and outcome reliability are similar to that of other minimally invasive surgical methods, and its value is largely measured in post-operation patient comfort, with less blood loss and a shorter recovery period. “Patients have been pleased with the outcomes,” Fabrizio says. “I believe the da Vinci system is here to stay and has growing applications in other specialties.”

Radiation has long been a chief weapon against cancer, but never before have oncologists had such a wide array of tools in their arsenal. Surgical tools that use stereotactic radiation offer a non-invasive (read: no cutting) method of treating tumors by delivering a focused beam of gamma radiation directly to a cancerous mass. Housed at Sentara Norfolk, the Cyberknife System utilizes robotics and X-ray image guidance to precisely target tumors of all kinds while the patient remains at ease, feeling no pain. Cyberknife’s software—adapted from missile-guiding technology—tracks subtle movements, even the motion of a patient’s lungs breathing. Dr. Scott Williams, medical director of Sentara’s Advanced Radiosurgery Center, says “sub-millimeter accuracy” has earned the Cyberknife its 90-percent success rate in reducing lung tumors. “It’s declassified military software that really makes this thing go,” he adds. In fact, Cyberknife’s adapted X-ray guidance system was once used to examine ships’ welds, whereas its robotic arm technology was pioneered on the auto assembly line. Williams first trained on the Cyberknife seven years ago at Stanford University, where the technology was invented. Sentara now uses the Cyberknife on cancers of the brain, spine, lungs and liver, reports Williams, who hopes they’ll start treating prostate cancer this year.

Cyberknife is opening new doors for patients.” Before Cyberknife, Riverside Regional Medical Center was the first provider in Hampton Roads (and still the only one on the Peninsula) to offer radiosurgery via the Gamma Knife, as well as its next evolution, the Synergy S, which offers a 3-D display and improved accuracy.

Another type of radiosurgery is also on the rise, and it’s all about the protons. Scientist Robert R. Wilson first suggested using protons to treat cancer in 1946, and the first treatments were performed using particle accelerators built for nuclear physics research. Today there are five proton therapy centers in the United States and eight more on the way. Of these, Hampton University’s Proton Therapy Institute (HUPTI)—once it is completed this fall—will be the nation’s largest at a roomy 98,000 square feet. Traditional radiation treatments shoot gamma radiation through a tumor, with the excess dissipating in the patient’s body. Proton radiation, on the other hand, can be delivered to the exact depth of a tumor while conforming to its shape—resulting in a more concentrated, effective dose. Proton therapy is especially important for treating childhood cancer, because it offers minimal side effects and spares surrounding tissues.

6. VAD Think of it as a temporary heart—a portable generator that could power an entire house during an electrical outage. Ventricular Assistance Devices (VADs) are mechanized circulatory pumps that keep blood flowing through a person’s body when the heart is failing. Weighing less than a pound, a VAD (for example, Thoratec’s “Heartmate II”) resembles a four-inch-long plumbing fixture that’s surgically implanted just beneath the heart. Shoulder holsters contain a pair of batteries, and a system controller is attached to the user’s waistband. Inside the chest, the VAD is attached to the heart’s left ventricle and ascending aorta. Outside the body, a single-wire lead penetrates the patient’s skin at the abdomen. For years, VADs were used for either short-term (postop) recovery or as a “bridge device” for those awaiting heart transplant. Today VADs are used more often as a “destination therapy” but mostly for patients with endstage heart failure and others who are ineligible for heart transplant due to age or illness. Dr. John Herre, a cardiologist and scientific director of Sentara Cardiovascular Research Institute in Norfolk, has

7. BIPLANE IMAGING

A tool worthy of Dr. McCoy’s ship’s medical bay, biplane imaging requires patients to lie on a full-body-length imaging platform where they are scanned from head to toe, allowing the doctor to analyze their lateral and frontal anatomy on a live 3-D display. Operated by Riverside Health System on the Peninsula, the Siemens Artis Zee biplane imaging platform is a powerful diagnostic and procedural tool that can be used for cardiovascular, trauma, neurovascular and orthopedic procedures. This robotic, multi-axis system provides unprecedented positioning flexibility as it quickly rotates two image planes to give cardiologists and neuroradiologists a detailed, live, high-definition display, allowing the physician to see contrast-enhanced blood vessels and even the heart’s four chambers from every angle. Treating aneurysms once required penetrating the skull, but biplane imaging technology allows surgeons to observe vivid, cross-sectional internal images on a live flat-screen display while they move a catheter through the leg’s femoral artery and guide it all the way up to the brain, where they can embolize (neutralize) an aneurysm on the spot. Leading the current trend toward hybrid operating rooms that support multiple specialists, the Artis Zee allows a clinical team to shift from common diagnostic procedures to open surgery without delay. Essentially, a scanning bed can become an operating table in a moment’s notice. Neuroradiologist Dr. Frank Sanderson has been using the Artis imager since it came to Riverside Regional Medical Center over a year ago and points to the speed of the biplane imager as its greatest asset, noting that less time on the table means less radiation exposure for the patient.

Today’s medical technology may not be ready for Star Fleet just yet. Kidney disease can’t be cured with a pill, and doctors can’t diagnose any disease with a handheld scanner. But every decade yields new advances, and the ongoing process of bold discoveries and innovation continues to pave the way for a healthier next generation.

What if all that stood between patients and cancer survival was a single protein? For women with advanced breast cancer, that very well may be the case. Poly ADP Ribose Polymerase (PARP) is a protein that repairs damage to our DNA. Healthy cells use PARP to repair themselves, but cancer cells do, too—harnessing the power of PARP to further their uncontrolled growth. So it was immediately clear, upon discovery of this protein, that inhibiting its function could be of great advantage to cancer patients. Initial clinical trials revealed that PARP inhibitors dramatically increased the effectiveness of radiation and chemotherapy treatments. Currently, 400 breast cancer patients are enrolled in PARP-related clinical trials at the Norfolk offices of Virginia Oncology Associates. There, Dr. Michael Danso serves as principal investigator in a Phase III trial studying women with triple-negative breast cancer, an aggressive level of cancer that can often spread through the body and is treatable only with chemotherapy. Danso confirms that previous trials have already yielded encouraging results. Patients who have received the intravenous PARP inhibitor with chemotherapy have displayed almost a doubling of the median survival rate. Trial participant Sharon Price encountered no additional side effects while taking PARP inhibitors, which sent her cancer into retreat within a year. “I was very lucky,” says Price, 39, crediting the combination of chemotherapy and PARP inhibitors with shrinking her lung tumors. “I’m lucky that I was selected [for this trial], and lucky that I live in an area where the study is taking place.”

been using the Heartmate II unit for both short- and longterm care as well as cardiac repairs following the stress of cancer therapy. “There’s a lot of interest in this sort of artificial heart,” says Herre, “because there simply aren’t enough real hearts to go around for transplanting. But we can make as many VADs as we want, and they can last years longer than fully artificial hearts [which replace the failing heart entirely but are not a long-term solution for most patients]. We now have rechargeable batteries that can last 12 to 18 hours, and you can plug your VAD into the lighter socket of your car to [recharge] batteries on long trips.” Though Herre and colleagues are pleased with the improved survival rate VADs supply, they look to the future, another five years down the road, when they expect to see variable speed VADs that are completely concealed within the chest and can be recharged through the skin. Says Herre: “That will be the next big leap.”

Scientists at Eastern Virginia Medical School’s Strelitz Diabetes Center are closing in on a potential treatment for Type I diabetes, often called juvenile diabetes. The body needs insulin to convert sugar into energy. When a specific enzyme—lipoxygenase, or “12LO”—is present, it releases proinflammatory lipids within insulinproducing beta cells. The body’s immune system then sends out special-agent cells to target and destroy the source of inflammation (i.e., beta cells). When too many cells are destroyed, a person must self-administer insulin. Dr. Jerry Nadler (above), professor and chair of internal medicine at EVMS and director of the Strelitz Center, and colleagues have identified the 12-LO enzyme in human beta cells. His team believes that blocking 12-LO can prevent or stop the progression of Type I diabetes and possibly reverse it by allowing beta cells to regenerate. In animal studies, Nadler and his team have seen a nearly 100-percent success rate at preventing Type I diabetes when the gene responsible for producing 12-LO was deleted. “We have successfully identified a vital step in the development of Type I diabetes, and we are hopeful that blocking this enzyme could hold the key to engineering breakthrough new treatments,” Nadler said in a statement. Stay tuned for The Health Journal’s further coverage of Nadler’s ongoing research—which could be yet another medical “first” for Hampton Roads— as well as other exciting discoveries being made at EVMS.

Wonderful in White: Winter Veggies Healthy, flavorful and delicious food for thought Written By Sharon Miller Cindrich

hen it comes to the healthy benefits of vegetables, we’ve been taught to eat our greens—and reds, purples, oranges and yellows, too. But don’t forget the whites! Even though they might be lacking a splash of color, these winter whites contain important nutrients like vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants. So, delight in white this season by incorporating these vegetables into your diet.

Garlic

Cauliflower

Legendary for its anti-vampire charms, this truly amazing vegetable has many therapeutic and nutritious qualities. Garlic has been shown to decrease the risk of some cancers, lower cholesterol and help prevent heart disease. A flavorful ingredient in many recipes, garlic has also been shown to boost the body’s immune system and act as an anti-inflammatory.

A cousin of broccoli and kale, cauliflower is high in vitamin C and contains compounds that reduce the risk of cancers, especially lung, colon, breast, ovarian and bladder cancer. To appease picky eaters, keep cauliflower at its whitest by cooking it in a stainless steel pot with a tablespoon of milk or lemon juice.

Enjoy garlic sprinkled on your favorite meat or fish, roasted and spread on wholegrain bread or diced and baked into your favorite casserole.

Enjoy cauliflower steamed until tender or dipped raw into low-fat ranch dressing.

Jicama

Navy beans

White radish

Onions

Potatoes

Related to the turnip, this large vegetable is a popular staple in Latin America and sometimes called the Mexican potato. Jicamas contain vitamin C, are low in sodium and fat-free, and have a very mild, sweet flavor. These crunchy veggies are perfect for a vegetable platter because cut jicama won’t brown when exposed to air.

These small, creamy white beans got their name from the United States Navy, which used them as a main source of food in the early 20th century. Navy beans are a member of the legume family, packed with potassium and cholesterol-lowering fiber, and may protect against high blood pressure and atherosclerosis. One cup of navy beans also provides 24.7 percent of the daily requirements of thiamin, which is critical for brain function.

A close relative to the turnip, this crunchy vegetable adds nutrition and a unique flavor to recipes. At just 10 calories each, this fat-free veggie contains vitamin C, folic acid and potassium.

While they might bring a tear to the eye when they’re cut, onions will bring smiles to health-conscious folks who don’t mind a little bad breath. Onions can lower blood sugar, reduce the risk of colon cancer and help build healthy bones. Whether they are Spanish onions, pearl onions or shallots, these bulb veggies have antiinflammatory qualities and are rich in vitamin C.

While they are most often seen in less healthy forms, like french fries and potato chips, potatoes—the world’s most prolific food crop—are a low-fat, high-fiber food that contains good amounts of vitamin C and potassium. Potato skins are packed with health benefits, too, including flavonoids that may protect against cardiovascular disease and certain cancers.

Enjoy jicama in a stir-fry recipe or drizzled with a low-fat dressing.

Questions About Medical Weight Loss—Answered! What does Bariatrics mean? Why choose a Bariatric Internist? The term bariatric is derived from the Greek word “bari” meaning weight. A Bariatric physician specializes in the medical treatment of overweight and obese patients. An Internist, who has specialized in the management of obese patients, has the skill and clinical acumen to treat even the most complicated patients; including those who have diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, sleep apnea or cancer.

How much weight can I lose? Our first goal will be for you to lose 10% of your body weight. With a 10% weight loss, you reduce your health risk for diabetes, coronary artery disease and cancer. Patients using the HMR® meal replacement program (DecisionFree™ Diet) will generally lose more weight. Most patients on the Decision-Free™ Diet will lose in excess of 30-60 lbs, some upward of 100 lbs. The majority of our patients lose 15-20% of their body weight.

How fast will I lose weight? One pound is equal to 3500 calories, so to lose a pound a week, you need to reduce your diet by 500 calories every day. The weight loss is

I have thought about bariatric surgery. Will coming to Tidewater Bariatrics disqualify me from having surgery?

FOR JANUARY

No. Bariatric surgery (gastric bypass, lap band) is a very viable option for some patients, particularly those who have a body mass index (BMI) greater than 35 with diabetes or hypertension, or those with a BMI greater than 40. Most bariatric surgical programs require that patients try a formalized medical weight loss program. Tidewater Bariatrics will offer you that program. If you still desire surgery, the weight loss experience during the program will decrease your risk of operative complications.

Faith Amoroso Interview By Sharon Miller Cindrich

Photography By Page Bishop-Freer

efore her husband’s diagnosis, Faith Amoroso says, her life was practically perfect. Happily married, Amoroso and her husband Larry lived in New Jersey where she worked as a nurse in a surgical practice. Larry was an executive officer for an insurance and investment firm, managing four offices in the New York and New Jersey area. “He was a brilliant businessman, a Duke University graduate and at the height of his career when he started having symptoms of dementia,” explains Amoroso. Larry was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease in 1998, and the couple spent the next 10 years dealing with the condition, Faith being Larry’s primary caregiver. After Larry died from Alzheimer’s in December 2008, Amoroso began volunteering as a geriatric assessment nurse at Williamsburg’s Center for Excellence in Aging and Geriatric Health (CEAGH). If an individual had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, she would help them locate and navigate various medical and community resources. Three months later, a formal position was created and she was offered the job. Amoroso’s journey as an Alzheimer’s caregiver was long and difficult, but she has since applied her experience to a larger cause: This year she will take on a new challenge as chair of the Williamsburg Memory Walk, an annual event sponsored by the Alzheimer’s Association to generate funding for community programs as well as raise awareness about this disease. The walk, slated for next November, is expected to draw hundreds of participants. “Last

November we had 400 walkers, so the bar has been set high,” she says. In her interview with The Health Journal, Amoroso explains why it’s important to play the hand we’re dealt.

What she gives and gets: I spent a decade of my life as a caregiver for an Alzheimer’s patient. I saw a unique opportunity to share my experience with other families in the community. Who she helps: At CEAGH, our focus is on older adults. But the face of Alzheimer’s is changing to include the caregivers—which can mean spouses, children and even grandchildren. The support that needs to go out [to caregivers] is really to all ages. This disease affects such a broad part of our population. Why talk openly about Alzheimer’s? Alzheimer’s is an illness that, in the early years, people tend to keep ‘in the closet.’ I like to tell people that it was when we came out of the closet that life became easier. We could reach out to friends and family and not hide behind closed doors, which I think so many people do. What she talks about: The conversation is often less about the person who is suffering from dementia and more about the caregivers—their stress and their needs. Anxiety and depression are common factors associated with caregiving. The caregiver becomes very isolated and feels very alone. I tell people that Alzheimer’s is not an illness that you can plan your life around. You have to live in the moment and meet the affected person at his or her own level, because they can’t meet you at yours. I think I really accepted the illness and moved

forward only when I realized that this was what we had to deal with. There was only one possible ending, and we were going to have the best life that we could. Acceptance was very important. Her biggest professional challenge: Sometimes it’s a bit emotionally draining. I can see and feel the emotional struggles of families, and I know what they are facing. Her role models: Most importantly, my mother, who is 90 and has always been and continues to be very positive and optimistic about life. She lives with me now. Beyond her, the people who have been given much in life and, in turn, give back to others who are less fortunate. What makes her laugh: Lighthearted people who love life. Sometimes I laugh at myself. Sometimes I actually look back and laugh. I like to tell the story about Larry taking the dog for a walk and coming back with just a leash and him wondering what was wrong with that. You have to take those stories and find some humor in them. What qualities do you value most in others: Honesty and openness, and not being afraid to take chances. What surprises you about life: How little control we have, how quickly things can change. One of my favorite expressions is, ‘We don’t get to choose what comes into our life.’ Our job is to reach a point of acceptance and find joy in things that matter. Favorite motto: Yes, it’s from Matthew 17:20: ‘If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, nothing will be impossible for you.

Nominees don’t have to work in the health care industry, but the story must have a health-related angle. Send your recommendations to page@thehealthjournals.com.
