LETTER FROM THE EDITOR the

an you believe that another year is coming to a close? Why is it that the older we get, the faster the years seem to come and go? While our bodies gradually slow down, time inevitably gains speed. If only we could reverse that paradox! This being my last column of the calendar year, I want to extend a heartfelt thank-you to our loyal readers for sticking with us for yet another 12 issues. Midway through our fifth year of publishing, our reach is still growing. Today, a circulation of nearly 80,000 copies make The Health Journal Hampton Roads’ largest monthly magazine. Our staff (and hopefully, you) would agree that 2009 has reflected some of our best work. We’re careful to pack each issue with inspirational patient stories, upclose interviews, informative physician-written columns and exciting health and medical news on a local and national scale. This year’s cover stories ranged from the serious—like traumatic brain injury (March 09) and heroin use among local teens (May 09)—to the more lighthearted subjects of pet therapy (Feb. 09) and, finally, this month’s cover on healthy holiday recipes. (You can find all of our past articles as well as this month’s issue online at www.thehealthjournals.com.) For the last two months we encouraged readers to enter The Health Journal’s first-ever Healthy Holiday Recipe Contest; you’ll find the two winning recipes and a few other top entries in “Holiday Lites,” starting on page 20. Some of our staff members also chimed in with a few delicious dishes of their own (find Grandma Natalie’s Cranberry-Apple Casserole, which I mentioned in October’s Letter from the Editor, on page 24). Some of my favorite articles are those that include input from our staff, such as this month’s recipe lineup and November’s “Beauty and the Budget,” which featured recessionfriendly health and beauty tips. I frequently recruit staffers to rate all kinds of products from light yogurt to cosmetics and more. Speaking of staff: on page 38, read my interview with THJ Medical Editor Dr. Ravi Shamaiengar, a radiologist serving two Peninsula hospitals. In our interview, Shamaiengar (who’s also my uncle-in-law) talks topics from health care reform to the pros and cons of running a family business. In our inaugural issue of 2009—the same month we profiled famed heart surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz (an editorial highlight, for sure)—staffers revealed their top health-related New Year’s resolutions. Revisiting that issue reminded me of my forgotten pledge—to start a serious running routine this past spring. Like so many of us tend to do at the start of a new year—or after a major life event such as having a baby or, say, a birthday that ends in a zero (two things that happened to hit me this year)—I pushed myself too hard, literally. Just a few weeks after Camden’s birth I stoically set out to fulfill my resolution—pushing all of myself, plus the baby, plus one seriously weighty jogging stroller, up a steep hill that marked the final stretch of my 45-minute course. Talk about an uphill battle! After a few weeks of this routine, my aching ankles and a click-click-clicking sound in my knees signaled that it was time to slow the pace. I established a more reasonable walking routine with another new mom and have since found that fitness and friendship really do mesh well. With just four weeks left in the year and facing an unfulfilled resolution, I’ve made one overriding pledge for the year ahead: To limit such unrealistic self-goals and, if I do feel inclined to make a resolution, remind myself that lasting change requires that little virtue called patience. Please enjoy our year-end issue, and we’ll see you again in 2010. Until then, from our family to yours—we wish you all the joys of the season and a healthy, happy new year.

94.9 The Point to Host Radiothon Dec. 9-12 to Support CHKD

IMAGES OF HOPE

Radio Station 94.9 The Point will broadcast a four-day radiothon to benefit Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters. During the radiothon, listeners will hear stories of CHKD patients who have overcome great odds to beat illnesses such as cancer or have survived traumatic events such as car accidents and fires. All funds raised will be used to purchase equipment, fund research and provide patient care programs at Children’s Hospital. Listeners call phone in pledges during the radiothon by calling (757) 668-9000.

Bon Secours Home Care Celebrates 30 Years

Photographer Jessica Oatman founded Images of HOPE after her oldest child—four-yearold Montana—was diagnosed with leukemia. Montana's cancer has gone into remission, but Oatman remains dedicated to giving other local families a chance to capture the moment.

Oatman’s oldest child, four-year-old Montana, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at age two. Doctors first thought Montana had the flu; he was sleeping all the time and didn’t have the strength to play. On his fourth trip to the doctor, however, blood tests detected cancer. Montana’s cancer is in remission now, but he still undergoes daily chemotherapy treatments at home—using a liquid medication—and weekly sessions at Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters in Norfolk. At the hospital, doctors deliver the drugs through a port, or tube, in Montana’s chest, which often takes three to four hours at a time. Montana also travels to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Tennessee for spinal taps every few months. “Years later, no matter what happens, Chemotherapy takes a toll. Montana regularly these images will be the memory of a hero.” loses his hair, and one steroid medication causes intense mood swings and food cravings.

But when a child is battling a serious illness, taking pictures isn’t a priority—even though that child likely is a portrait in strength. Jessica Oatman offers parents of such children the gift of preserving those chapters in their child’s life. A professional photographer and the mother of a child with cancer, Oatman founded Images of HOPE, a non-profit that offers free portrait sessions of kids battling life-threatening illnesses. Each family gets both color and black-and-white shots and a disc that holds about 30 different pictures.

Bon Secours Home Care, part of Bon Secours Hampton Roads, celebrated its 30th anniversary last month during Home Care and Hospice Month. Bon Secours Maryview Medical Center, which opened in October 1979, was the second hospital in the state to offer home care and the first hospital-based home care agency in the area to earn Medicare certification. The hospice program was added in 1985. The agency now serves 500 home care patients and 50 hospice patients each month.

CREATING SMILES

ichael Boyd is the type of person who loves to smile, despite all the medical problems he’s struggled with—a near-death experience related to diabetes, partial amputation of his right foot, blood clots in his leg and a hip replacement with another to come. But over the years, the health of Boyd’s teeth declined so much that his broad grin turned into a tight smile with closed lips. At 54, his dental disease was so severe that he also was at high risk for heart attack, stroke and possible infection of his prosthetic hip. Unfortunately, the Hampton resident—a disabled machine welder—knew he could never afford the work he needed. Then in stepped Dr. Lisa Marie Samaha, a Newport News dentist who recently held a “Smile Makeover Contest” to find locals deserving of free dental care. Samaha and her staff wanted to help people who had a life-threatening level of dental disease and a limited income but who still maintain an optimistic outlook on life and display a passion for helping others. Boyd, who regularly takes seniors from his church on errands and visits disabled veterans in the hospital, fit the bill. Along with a second winner, Terri Cane of Williamsburg, he will undergo tens of thousands of dollars worth of procedures to improve his health and smile.

“It is God’s gift from heaven,” says Boyd, who needed all his teeth pulled and chose new teeth from a variety of options. “I started feeling a lot different right after she took my teeth out. I have more energy, like my body knows it’s better off with those bad teeth gone. I know when it’s done I’m going to feel amazing. I’m going to smile every chance I get.” Samaha, who hopes to finish both patients’ makeovers before Christmas, says the contest was a way to thank the community that supports her business and draw attention to the dangers of dental disease. “Even in challenging economic times our practice has thrived, and this is a display of COURTESY OF PORT WARWICK DENTAL ARTS our gratefulness,” she says. “I didn’t want Dr. Lisa Marie Samaha (right) presents Terri Cane and son it to be a glamour contest.

BRIAN M. FREER

Home Instead franchise owner Hollie Krance expects volunteers to deliver 8,000 gifts to area seniors this month.

ost of the gifts that go to people in the annual “Be a Santa to a Senior” program are very modest—blankets, slippers, sweat suits, flashlights, lotions or other toiletries. But to a lonely or financially strapped senior, the feeling of being remembered at Christmas is priceless. “They’re so appreciative, no matter what they get,” says Hollie Krance, owner of Home Instead Senior Care (a franchise that serves the Peninsula and Williamsburg), who leads the effort. “They open up a box of tissues or a bath and body set, and you would have thought you’d bought them a new car. They’re smiling and crying and so happy.”

involved). Leaders collect the names of seniors, along with each person’s gift requests, from sources such as the Peninsula Agency on Aging. The names then go on ornaments that hang on trees at local Wal-Mart stores; shoppers can take an ornament, buy the gifts and leave them at customer service for volunteers to pick up. Home Instead organizes two public wrapping parties (see box at right) and helps coordinate mid-December deliveries to nursing homes, senior centers, Meals-onWheels recipients and low-income housing complexes. “Be a Santa to a Senior” is a nationwide effort for Home Instead, and the local program is one of its most successful gift drives, Krance says. This year, her office expects to deliver about 8,000 gifts to more than 2,000 seniors. Each person receives at least three gifts, and most get four or five, often presented by volunteers in elf outfits and a costumed Santa Claus. “What I love is that it really brings the entire community together,” Krance says. “The holidays are such a family-oriented time that people can get caught up in their own families—or they focus mainly on children in the community. They tend to forget about our seniors, and we want [seniors] to be part of the celebration, too.” HJ

You can be a ‘Santa to a Senior!’ Home Instead Senior Care needs volunteers at two upcoming “wrapping parties.” Just bring one roll of wrapping paper and a pair of scissors to either of these events (adults only, please): Dec. 9, at noon, at the Midtown Community Center (570 McLawhorne Dr., Newport News) Dec. 11, at noon, at the Quarterpath Recreation Center (202 Quarterpath Rd., Williamsburg)

On Oct. 23, Child Development Resources (CDR) in Williamsburg hosted graduate students from James Madison University who are studying early intervention for infants and toddlers with developmental delays or disabilities. The group learned about CDR’s collaboration with early childhood professionals as well as the center’s developmental playgroups and program planning. Pictured is CDR Executive Director Paul Scott with visiting students and faculty.

The pediatric dental office of Drs. Rubenstein, Avent and Huie (located in Newport News) encouraged parents and children to trade in their uneaten Halloween candy in exchange for cash during its “Candy Buy Back” event held last month. The practice offered $2 for every pound of candy returned and donated half of that amount to the Ronald McDonald House in Norfolk. The candy was then sent, along with letters from local children, to men and women serving overseas in the U.S. military. A total of 421 pounds of candy was collected, and $432 was given to the Ronald McDonald House.

Registered Nurses Antoinette “Toni” Higgins (left), Bobbie Butler (center) and Jessica Farzaneh—clinical staff members at Bon Secours Maryview Medical Center in Portsmouth—have collaborated with former colleague Dr. Melissa M. Gomes on an article that will appear in an upcoming edition of the Journal of Emergency Nursing. The article, “Anatomy of the Staged Orientation Process,” describes a training model Higgins and her team developed a year ago to increase the nursing department’s retention rate.

New Town Dental Arts in Williamsburg will send over 500 pounds of unopened Halloween candy to U.S. troops serving overseas. The candy was collected through the practice’s “Candy Buy Back” event held in November. Walsingham Academy’s lower school collected candy for the cause, bringing more than 300 pounds of candy to New Town Dental Arts. Pictured with Dr. Sebastiana Springmann are Walsingham students Matthew Botta, Thomas Botta, Caroline Reid, Gabrielle Deschenes and Caroline Boyd.

Western Branch Family Practice in Chesapeake has gone live with ConnectCare, Bon Secours’ advanced electronic medical records system that links each patient’s clinical information to one medical record. The system will help Bon Secours improve efficiencies, patient care and patient safety. Dr. Alison Christian-Taylor (right), a family physician who practices at Western Branch, says: “I think the greatest benefit is being able to have all the patient information in one spot in an easy-to-access database. With standardized and consistent documentation, we will be able to track outcomes and disease stages while reducing duplicate tests and procedures.”

Pilates: Getting to the Core of the Matter WRITTEN BY DORENE INTERNICOLA NEW YORK (REUTERS LIFE)

et the group fitness gadflies flit from belly dancing to body sculpting to circus stunts. Pilates people opt to take long, steady aim at the core. And they say the payoff is sweet: strength without bulk, slender thighs, flat-as-a-board abdomen. “With Pilates, the focus is core strength,” said Jessica Matthews of the American Council on Exercise. “It concentrates on centering and encouraging improved posture and strength throughout the core.” The core, or powerhouse, refers to the muscles that gird the torso from the lower rib cage to below the beltline. Pilates is a system of over 500 exercises that promises to condition the total body by centering on that area.

Pilates is a system of over 500 exercises that promises to condition the total body by centering on the body’s core. The mat exercises comprise several series of leg lifts, chest curls, and roll-ups—each one said to be the equivalent of six sit-ups—and the signature “hundred,” which entails much flapping of the arms and legs. And while they might look like sophisticated sit-ups, the moves are performed with precision, concentration, breath control and flow. (In fact, Pilates was originally called “controlology.”) “Because you’re so aware of where the exercise is coming from, you’re really focused on where you’re working,” Michele Bastos, Pilates instructor at the Crunch national chain of health clubs, said of the regimen now practiced by an estimated 10 million people worldwide. Unlike the 5,000-year-old practice of yoga to which it is often compared, Pilates is the 20th century creation of one man. German-born boxer, gymnast, and physical therapist Joseph Pilates originated his system as a rehabilitation tool in the 1920s. Some of the

first people he treated were soldiers returning from World War I. When he moved to New York City in 1926, his studio was located near the New York City Ballet. Dancers, George Balanchine and Martha Graham among them, spoke of “going to Joe’s” to strengthen their bodies and ease their aches and pains. The dance connection stuck. As did the notion that Pilates produces a dancer’s long, lean body. “I believe it’s true,” Bastos said. “Pilates strengthens and lengthens muscles at the same time, so it’s different from weight training, which only works concentric muscles. In Pilates the muscles get really long.” She continued, “Even in breathing we try to work the abs. We inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth to get all air out of the stomach. We do not allow ribs to pop out.” Mat classes remain the most popular, but Bastos sees interest in the Pilates equipment growing. “You start on the mat and move to the machines,” Bastos said of the Reformer, the Cadillac and the Chair, three basic pieces of equipment used in Pilates. The founder himself created the forerunners of these wood-andleather contraptions of levers, springs and pulleys when, working in an infirmary, he rigged hospital bedsprings to offer light resistance to bedridden patients. “The mat works against gravity only; on machines you have spring tension,” said Bastos. Of course, similarities between Pilates and yoga have spawned the inevitable hybrid: Piyo, Yolaties, Yogalates, and the like. Other so-called “fusion” classes provide the cardio workout missing from Pilates, such as “Rock Star Pilates,” which adds spinning.

Patients Happier When Docs Discuss Side Effects NEW YORK (REUTERS HEALTH)

ospital patients who suffer a side effect from treatment are more likely to give high ratings to their quality of care when hospital staff are up front about what went wrong, a new study suggests. In a survey of nearly 2,300 patients treated at 16 Massachusetts hospitals, researchers found that 603 had some sort of “adverse event”—most often side effects from a newly prescribed drug or complications from surgery— during their hospitalization. When asked whether hospital staff had explained the problem to them, only 40 percent of patients said they had. Yet, when staff did discuss the problem, patients were more likely to be happy with their care—even when the adverse effect was a preventable one, the study found. “Our findings show that disclosure is associated with patients’ perception of higher-quality care, even when they were harmed by an adverse event,” lead

researcher Dr. Lenny Lopez, of Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, said in a statement. “We believe this is the first study to address how disclosure affects the

“It’s quite notable that high-quality ratings continued to be associated with disclosure even when the event was determined to be preventable,” Lopez said. The findings, according to Lopez, suggest that hospitals should not be afraid to disclose the reasons for patients’ adverse events, even if they did arise from error. “Although rates of disclosure remain disappointingly low,” he said, “our findings should encourage more disclosure and allay fears of malpractice lawsuits.” “Patients want to be told the truth,” Lopez added, “and they perceive disclosure as integral to high-quality medical care.” Lopez and his colleagues report their findings in the Archives of Internal Medicine. In a separate study published in the same journal, researchers focused on diagnostic errors by physicians. They found that among 300 doctors at 22 U.S. hospitals, the most commonly missed or delayed diagnoses were pul-

Maclaren recalls strollers after amputation reports

You have a choice.

CHICAGO (REUTERS)

aclaren USA, Inc., is recalling about one million strollers sold in the United States over the past decade after receiving a dozen reports of children’s fingers being amputated when caught in the stroller’s hinges. Last month, Maclaren announced a voluntary recall with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The CPSC said consumers should immediately stop using the strollers, which were made in China, unless otherwise instructed. The recall involves all Maclaren single and double umbrella strollers sold in the United States starting in 1999. Maclaren said it has received 15 reports of children placing their finger in the stroller’s hinge mechanism, which led to 12 reported fingertip amputations in the U.S. The incidents occurred while the strollers were being opened or closed, not while the children were seated in the strollers, a spokeswoman said. Maclaren is offering consumers a free repair kit. The recall only relates to the British company’s U.S. business. Models affected by the recall include Volo, Triumph, Quest Sport, Quest Mod, Techno XT, Techno XLR, Twin Triumph, Twin Techno and Easy Traveler. The well-known strollers, priced from $100 to $360, were sold at popular stores including Babies ‘R’ Us and Target. Consumers are asked to contact Maclaren at (877) 688-2326 or through the Web site www. maclaren.us/recall for more information. HJ

Putting a Wrap on Holiday Stress WRITTEN BY MIKE VERANO

tress is as much a part of holiday tradition as greeting cards, presents and awkward family moments. The honest truth is that while the holidays should be a time of peace on Earth and good will towards men, they are equally the time for discord and ill will. In fact, notes the American Psychological Association, one in five Americans worries that holiday stress will cause them at least one physical health problem. How is it that a potentially festive time turns into a carnival of tension and worry? Why is it that high blood pressure and tension headaches are as commonplace as eggnog and fruitcake? Does this say something about the holiday season, or is it more likely a reflection of the way we interpret stress? The holidays do not bring us stress; we bring stress to the holidays. If we look closely at our inner tension, we will find that it was neatly packed, wrapped and hand-delivered by none other than ourselves. This is good news, though. It opens up the possibility that we can ask for, and receive, the gift of inner peace this season. Before going on, I want to share with you (at right) a “Stressmas” carol that I wrote to summarize how many of us feel as we move head-first into the not-so-silent nights ahead.

Sung to the tune of “Jingle Bells” Jangled nerves, jangled nerves Jangled all the day Oh, how sad it is to spend Our holiday time this way Dashing through the malls With a cart that’s gone astray Back to the bank we go Crying all the way Bells on registers ring Making spirits sigh Oh, what bills the mailman brings! Why’s my interest rate so high?

A day or two ago I felt my chest grow tight And very soon I found myself Pacing through the night I tried to get some sleep But the fears, they would not go I knew I’d fallen very deep And never felt so low

Jangled nerves, jangled nerves Jangled all the day Oh, how sad it is to spend Our holiday time this way

Oh! Jangled nerves, jangled nerves Jangled all the day Oh, how sad it is to spend Our holiday time this way!

What we gain by letting go Most plans for reducing stress have four basic components: eat right, exercise, get plenty of sleep and enjoy the company of others. If you are like me, you look at this list and feel even more stressed out than before. The reason, of course, is that this list represents things that can be challenging to do during the rest of the year. The likelihood that these activities will automatically become our standard mode of operation from November through January is about the same as that of Santa bringing us the high-definition plasma TV we have been longing for, rather than the lawn tool that will occupy our every weekend. But don’t be dismayed, merry gentlemen and women: there is another way to approach the holiday season. The way out of this trap is not to wrestle with that Grinch called stress—it is to let go of our habitual tendency to resist the world as it is. When we hold on desperately to the visions that dance in our head, we become frustrated when the world refuses to dance along. However, when we let go of the need for the holiday season (or any season, for that matter) to conform to our preconceived notions, we Continued on page 16

The Four ‘F’s of Holiday Stress Food • Finances • Family • Fun Try these strategies to overcome stress.

FOOD

You’ve tried this: Limiting yourself to eating only holiday foods that begin with the letter ‘Q.’ Now try this: When you do eat seasonal snacks and meals, do so mindfully; eat with your full attention on the food and the experience of eating. You will find that you actually eat less but enjoy more.

FINANCES

You’ve tried this: Putting your holiday cheer on credit and then making a New Year’s resolution to get out of debt. Now try this: Give yourself credit for your ability to create holiday magic without breaking the bank.

FAMILY

You’ve tried this: Thinking that the holidays would make everyone get along. Now try this: Drop the expectations of familial harmony and realize that the only family member you can change is yourself.

FUN

You’ve tried this: Overindulging in the holiday spirit, confusing excitement for real happiness. Now try this: Experience the true joy of being in the present moment and realize that the most fun of all comes from anything that opens your heart.

DENTAL HEALTH

When You Smile, is Your Health Showing? Taking care of your teeth and gums is more than a cosmetic concern—it could save your life. WRITTEN BY DR. TANYA A. BROWN

ou brush, you floss, and you visit your dentist twice a year— seems simple enough, right? But did you know that your oral health can affect your overall health? Recent studies indicate that there are very specific ties between dental health, periodontal (gum) health, and other systemic diseases. So if you think you spend all that time brushing and flossing just to keep your smile looking bright, it’s time to look a little closer. Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is linked to a variety of health issues, which is why it’s important to practice good oral care. Regular visits to your dentist are your best preventive measure to ensure

Gum Care: Commit it to Memory A recent study revealed a surprising link between gum disease and memory. The findings, reported in the November issue of the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry, are based on more than 2,300 men and women who were enrolled in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III conducted between 1991 and 1994. Participants with the highest pathogen levels were most likely to score poorly on cognitive tests. Research has already established a strong association between poor oral health and heart disease, stroke and diabetes, as well as Alzheimer’s disease. The study’s researchers note that gum disease could influence brain function through several mechanisms; for example, gum disease can cause inflammation throughout the body, a risk factor for loss of mental function.

that any problems with your gums don’t affect the rest of your body. Healthy teeth and gums prevent common bacteria in your mouth from entering into your bloodstream. Any gum erosion and/or irritation creates areas in which bacteria can enter your bloodstream and spread to other parts of your body. How else can your oral health affect your overall health? Here are a few potential ways: Early signs of osteoporosis (bone loss), evident in the jaw or teeth, are often found during routine dental visits and X-rays. Dentists are often the first health professionals to identify signs of oral cancer, which is why regular oral cancer screenings are part of preventive care. Poor oral health has been linked to heart disease, so practicing good oral hygiene may actually decrease the risk of heart disease and stroke. You’ve read that good oral care is important during pregnancy. Some studies indicate that there is a link between gum disease and premature birth. The link between oral care and diabetes is twofold: Those who have diabetes are generally at increased risk of developing gum disease. In addition, diabetics have an increased risk of tooth decay, dry mouth, and oral infections.

Patients whose immune systems are compromised (e.g., from diseases such as HIV/AIDS) often have oral symptoms that lead to increased oral bacteria, which in turn can affect overall health. Current research is also aimed at the role oral health plays in the development of pneumonia and pancreatic cancer. Taking care of your teeth and gums is one of the most important preventive health measures you can follow. See your dental care provider for regular examinations, cleanings, X-rays, and oral cancer screenings. Your at-home routine should include regular brushing, flossing, and self-examination for any changes in gum health. Not only does your smile depend on good oral care— you may find that your life does, too. HJ

very holiday season, my mom makes my Aunt Wanda’s signature Pumpkin Sheet Cake. I recently took on the challenge of making her recipe healthier while maintaining its true flavor. So, last month, my mom and I had a “bake-off.” She made the original recipe while I created the healthier version, my own Pumpkin Bars, and we asked a panel of judges (my dad, grandma and fiancé) to give their opinion. Everyone agreed that my healthy version had a better taste and was even moister than the original. Even Grandma—who normally sticks to the ‘tried-and-true’—liked my version best. My goal in cooking is to use healthy, natural products while creating the best flavor possible. I know I exceeded my goal with this one!

*If using sugar in place of agave nectar, use 1 cup sugar and add ½ cup canola oil in addition to the ½ cup applesauce. Increase the baking temperature to 350 degrees. **Alternate option: Mix 1 cup whole-wheat flour with 1 cup white flour.

Want to quit? Don’t go to light smokes WASHINGTON (REUTERS)

mokers who switch to a low-tar, light or mild brand of cigarette will not find it easier to quit and in fact may find it harder, researchers reported in November. They found that smokers who traded to light cigarettes were 50 percent less likely to kick the habit. “It may be that smokers think that a lighter brand is better for their health and is therefore an acceptable alternative to giving up completely,” Dr. Hilary Tindle of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, who led the study, said in a statement. Her study of 31,000 smokers found that 12,000, or 38 percent, had switched to a lighter brand. A quarter said they switched because of flavor but nearly 20 percent said they had switched for a combination of better flavor, wanting to smoke a less harmful cigarette, and as part of an effort to give up smoking completely, Tindle’s team reported in the journal Tobacco Control. Those who switched brands were 58 percent more likely to have tried to quit smoking between 2002 and 2003 than those who stuck with their brand. But they were 60 percent less likely to actually succeed in quitting, Tindle’s team found. “Forty-three percent of smokers reported a desire to quit smoking as a reason for switching to lighter cigarettes. While these individuals were the most likely to make an attempt, ironically, they were the least likely to quit smoking,” Tindle said. Other research has shown that so-called low-tar cigarettes have just as much tar, nicotine and other compounds as regular cigarettes. HJ

Talking With Children About Death

Showing you care about their feelings is more important than having all the answers. WRITTEN BY DR. FREDERIC B. TATE

he truth is that most of us do not do a very good job talking about death. Rarely are people taught how to converse compassionately with individuals who are dying or those who have lost a loved one. We use euphemisms such as “crossed over” or “passed on.” It is as if the word “death” is taboo. Society expects us to grieve stoically and return to work in three days, ready to function fully. Mourning is too often seen as feelings to be “resolved” or “overcome,” as opposed to a journey that needs to be experienced. Children are often the forgotten ones when there has been a death. We do not intentionally overlook them, but the child who has had a sibling, parent or grandparent die gets lost in the shuffle. Also, many adults believe that children need to be protected from the pain of death. Though often well intended, our attempts to protect children may actually do more harm than good. Cocooning children also robs them of the opportunity to build important coping skills. We are inclined not to talk about death, but not talking does not mean that we are not communicating. Children pick up on our non-verbal communication; anxiety and depression can be sensed. Talking to children about death does not harm them, though deception and secrets can. Of-

ten the real motivation for adults keeping their silence is that death is too painful a subject for us to talk about. When I was working in private practice years ago, many of my patients were in therapy because during childhood they’d had a parent or sibling die. One patient had been sent away to a relative’s house for the summer; when he returned, he discovered that his brother had died of leukemia and been buried. He had never had the opportunity to say goodbye, participate in the funeral, or mourn. This still haunted him 50 years later.

Open, honest communication is key We rarely give children time to talk about their fears, reactions or feelings following the death of a loved one. They need to ask questions and to be given information appropriate for their age. If a sibling has died, the parents may well be too distraught to have these discussions with the surviving child. This is when a grandparent, aunt or family friend can temporarily step in. Do not assume that a minister or rabbi is automatically good at talking with children about death. We should talk to children about death the same way we talk to them about sex—directly, honestly and without Continued on next page

PARENTING

Talking With Children About Death Continued from previous page sugarcoating the facts. There are many wonderful children’s books that address the topic of death and dying. It is best to use simple language, and be prepared to be repetitious. Children may ask the same questions every day for weeks. Remember, saying “I don’t know” is perfectly acceptable. Children will ask Mourning is too often questions about the afterlife or seen as an event to be why bad things happen to good “resolved” or “overcome,” people. Giving as opposed to a journey that a child the message that you needs to be experienced. care and that you are genuine is far more important than having all the answers. Even very young children grieve. They just grieve differently than adults. They may be too young to grasp abstract concepts such as eternity, but the disorganization and change that death may bring can strongly affect a child. There is neither a single, correct way for adults to grieve nor an orderly progression to be followed. It is the same for children. Some will show their sadness, others may not. It is not unusual, for example, for a child to want to return to school following a death in the family. This does not mean the child is not grieving but rather, that structure can provide a sense of control in a world that seems unpredictable. Though not always possible, giving a child the opportunity to say goodbye is important. On the other hand, children who are uncomfortable going to the hospital or hospice should not

be forced. If they want to go, prepare them for what they will see. When children attend funerals, it is best that an adult take them to the funeral parlor prior to the funeral so they can walk around, ask questions, and view the body privately if the casket is open. Do not equate death with sleeping. This can lead to sleep disturbances in children. Remember that when a parent has died, it is essential to reassure the children that someone will still take care of them.

Working towards a state of acceptance Temporary behavioral regression such as bedwetting, a fear of being alone, stuttering, baby talk, thumb sucking or night terrors are not uncommon among children after a death and usually resolve with time. Never punish a child for exhibiting these behaviors. Consider taking your child to see a psychologist or family therapist even if only for a few sessions. Just like going to the dentist every six months can be good preventive medicine, seeing a therapist after a death may prevent problems later in life. Drawing is one of the best forms of expression for children. It can provide an open and safe atmosphere for them to explore their feelings surrounding death and the loss that accompanies it. Children, too, benefit from memorializing the deceased. Making a memory box or poster can be therapeutic. Maybe the best thing we can do for children who have experienced a death is to increase the amount of time we spend touching and holding them, reassure them that though life is unpredictable, there is some stability, and to remember that grief has no time limit. Like adults, children reach a point of acceptance at their own pace. HJ

Scientists Discover a Fat & Carb Blocker With NO Side Effects CALL TODAY AND RECEIVE A 30-DAY SUPPLY FREE Test results of an all-natural fat-blocker called Lipitone have just been released. “Lipitone has the ability to block up to 28.3% of fat and totally eliminate it from the body” explained Dr. Everett Beyer, a member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Nutrition. “Because of the reduced fat intake, Lipitone can also help lower cholesterol by as much as 10% in just 30 days,” said Dr. Beyer. Lipitone VS Other FAT BLOCKERS Lipitone eliminates up to 28.3% of fat without any known side effects by binding with the individual fat molecules instead of liquefying them. In fact, Lipitone has shown to be better than that popular OTC fat blocker for three important reasons: • First: Studies show Lipitone blocks more fat. • Second: Lipitone is taken after eating so there’s no need to plan ahead. • Third: Lipitone doesn’t require any change in diet or eating patterns; it can eliminate up to 28.3% of fat regardless of diet.

Block Fat AND Carbs? TL Sciences discovered what people really wanted was a comprehensive, all-natural weightloss product that combined fat-blocking and carbblocking. So, they added a new ingredient called ID-alG, which is a seaweed extract that has been shown to block 50% of all carbs. “Lipitone is amazing,” says Dr. Beyer. “The fact that you can take it up to one hour after you eat is the best part. So you don’t have to go through the agonizing process of planning each meal ahead of time like you are forced to do with others.” Free! Put the power of Lipitone to work for you. Call today and find out how you can receive a free 30-day supply.

Study explains how smells conjure strong memories CHICAGO (REUTERS)

he aroma of Grandmother’s fresh-baked cookies etches itself into the brain’s emotional memory, but so does a whiff of rotten fish, Israeli scientists said in a finding that might help in treating trauma patients. They said bad smells make the biggest first impression—which is likely an evolutionary defense mechanism—but early pleasant scents also make an imprint on the brain. “We found that the first pairing or association between an object and a smell had a distinct signature in the brain,” even in adults, said Yaara Yeshurun of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, whose study appears in the journal Current Biology. “This ‘etching’ of initial odor memories in the brain was equal for good and bad smells, yet was unique to odor.” To test smell-related memories, the researchers presented a group of volunteers with a set of objects, and then associated each with a smell and a sound. Some of the smells and sounds were pleasant, such as a pear or a guitar, and others were unpleasant, such as a dead fish or the screech of a power drill. A week later, they asked people to recall the objects and found people tended to remember the unpleasant associations best, whether they were smells or sounds. Next, they did similar experiments while people’s brains were being scanned using functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI. In these experiments, they noticed that a part of the hippocampus and amygdala lit up when smells were first associated with a new object, but not sounds. Much more study is needed, but they said the findings could lead to better ways to help improve memories, or even offer better ways to help erase early, traumatic memories. HJ

SECOND OPINION

Spondylolisthesis: Fancy Name, Common Problem WRITTEN BY DR. JEFFREY CARLSON

id you know that back pain and leg pain lead about 20 percent of Americans to see a physician each year? Although most back pain is minor and usually resolves on its own, there are many different problems that can cause lingering lower back pain. About 10 percent of patients who see an orthopaedic spine specialist for their back pain have spondylolisthesis—a condition where the bones in the spine (vertebrae) have either slipped or shifted. Vertebrae may slide or change position for many reasons. The most common culprit is degenerative disc disease, which causes the vertebrae to sit more loosely on each other and allows them to shift. The vertebrae may also fail to connect completely in childhood, allowing the bones to slip away from each other. In adolescents, back pain may start as the bones start to shift. As the child becomes more active in sports, the spinal instability caused by a poor vertebral connection will become painful. X-rays may show a break in the bones; however, some kids who are experiencing back pain will have normal-looking X-rays. Further evaluation with a CT scan can help the physician more closely examine the spine. Some people live their entire lives with a break in their vertebrae and do not experience back pain until their discs, pads that separate each spinal bone, start to degenerate.

In most cases, spondylolisthesis is diagnosed in middle age and is the result of degeneration in the spinal discs. As the discs degenerate, they cannot support the weight of the spine, which allows the bones to shift. As bones shift out of normal position, the discs have to bear the brunt of the patient’s body weight and movement, which, in turn, applies more stress to the discs and causes them to degenerate faster.

called sciatica, often confused with leg pain. The initial treatment for low-back and leg pain related to spondylolisthesis is a physical therapy program and anti-inflammatory medications. Exercise, stretching, spinal traction and manual therapies (like massage and spinal adjustments) can help reduce the pain. The goal of treatment is to relieve the pressure on the nerve and mobilize the bones and discs to allow for a more fluid motion of the back without irritating the muscles, Disc degeneration can be painful; as the spine tendons or nerves. Most patients respond well to this treatment and continues to degenerate and vertebrae slip, the can maintain their spinal health spinal nerves endure more and more pressure. with a home exercise program. If medication and holistic approaches are unsuccessful, steroid injections around the nerves and joints Most patients with mild spondylolisthesis will may help relieve some of the acute pain. If all of not have any worse back or leg pain than most these treatments don’t work, surgery is an option. people their age and won’t have to stop any normal Although most people are reluctant to have back activities. However, as these individuals age, the surgery, improved techniques have made surgery for discs between the slipped vertebrae degenerate spondylolisthesis a very effective procedure. HJ further. Disc degeneration can be painful; as the spine continues to degenerate and vertebrae slip, the spinal nerves that are protected by the bones endure more and more pressure. Pinched nerves cause pain in the nerve roots, which is felt in the back of the legs and down to the foot—a condition

PROFILE

He’s a Family Man at Heart INTERVIEW BY PAGE BISHOP-FREER

PHOTOGRAPHY BY BRIAN M. FREER

hen you think you have a person all figured out, that’s when he or she is most likely to surprise you. When I asked my uncle-in-law, Dr. Ravi V. Shamaiengar—a diagnostic radiologist and The Health Journal’s cofounder and medical editor—to name his favorite place in the world, I expected him to choose from among his vacation destinations over the years—perhaps the tropical beaches of St. John, or the snowy slopes of Utah’s Deer Valley. But rather than reflecting on any one adventure, he said simply: “My favorite place in the world is wherever my family is.” Here are some excerpts from our interview. What he reveals about himself may surprise you, too.

HJ: Why publish a free health directory? RS: When I moved to Williamsburg, my first question was, “Where do I take my family for medical care?” Even being a physician with access to this

RAVI V. SHAMAIENGAR, M.D.

HJ: Why did you decide to become a doctor? RS: Love of science, love of people. I always wanted to help people. Medicine blends those aspects of my personality. HJ: What do you like best about your job? RS: Health has such an impact on people’s lives. Being able to have a positive influence on people’s health is very rewarding. HJ: For those who don’t know, can you explain what a radiologist does? RS: Radiologists are medical imaging specialists who use their extensive knowledge of anatomy and disease processes to be consultants to other physicians. We’re kind of in the background. When your doctor says, “We found this on your scan,” most people don’t realize that it was the radiologist who found it and made the diagnosis. HJ: If you weren’t a radiologist, what would you be? RS: I would probably be in research, maybe molecular biology or something like that. Somewhere I’d be using a lot of computers and electronics. HJ: Share your goals for The Health Journal. RS: First, my hope for the Journal is for it to be a wonderful form of education for the general public, a way of giving back to the community, something that the community doesn’t have to pay for. Second, to provide a forum or an outlet for physicians to get the word out to the public about who they are and what they do. When we were thinking about starting the Journal, those were things that were missing in health care in this area, and probably most of the country. The Journal itself presents so much information in a readable manner—in a fun, informative fashion. Hopefully it excites people about health in general. 38

information, I didn’t know who all was out there. That was why the Health Directory was created. HJ: The Health Journal is definitely a family-run business—your wife is an editor, your nephew the publisher, your sister the executive director, and myself the editor. What are the pros and cons of working with family? RS: Part of the fun—and one of the advantages—is that you already have a rapport with the key people involved. Good rapport makes it fun to accomplish something like this together, something we believe is worthwhile and respected. The challenges are just like those in any long-term relationship where you’re very close. It’s often hard to stop talking business and just relax with family. HJ: With health care reform in the forefront, what are some of the major concerns among physicians? RS: One of the big problems is the 21 percent [proposed] cut in Medicare payments scheduled to start in January. If that happens, a lot of physicians will either shut their doors period or shut their doors to Medicare patients, which would be a travesty. I just read that the Democrats are putting forth a bill to stop that. Unfortunately the health care reform issue is becoming a political football. But does health care need to be fixed? Yes. The costs are too great right now. HJ: Some point to unnecessary tests as a major factor in the nation’s out-of-control health care spending. What’s your opinion? RS: It’s a two-edged sword: There is some excess ordering of tests; then again, I am not sure what I would do if I were the ordering doctor. Based on the extensive amount of information we can provide from one test, most doctors would want their patients to have these tests. HJ: Finish this sentence: “Before I die, I’d like to…” RS: Witness my children as successful adults— success meaning that they find careers they love and people they love. HJ
