How specifically can Mini Dental Implants help denture wearers? The standard insertion protocol for mini dental implants calls for four of them to be gently screwed into the front of a patient’s lower jaw. This is a relatively painless pro-

The Damaging Effects Of Wearing Dentures Are Clear!

Your jawbones need the support of the tooth roots to remain healthy, stimulated and strong. Throughout time, jawbones that do not have the support of tooth roots lose height, width and density of the bone.

The jawbone immediately after extraction of all teeth is of normal height, width and density.

After several years of wearing dentures, the jawbone deteriorates due to the constant pressure during chewing. The changes in bone height and width make the original dentures fit poorly.

Continuing to wear dentures will result in further jawbone deterioration and an increasingly poor denture fit, significantly affecting qualty of life.

Implant-Retained Overdentures can slow this bone loss, eliminate the need for adhesives and keep your teeth InPlace™.

The patient and any other person responsible for payments has a right to refuse to pay, cancel payment or be reimbursed for payment for any other service examination or treatment which is performed as a result of and within seventy two (72) hours of responding to the advertisement for the free, discounted fee, or reduced fee service, examination or treatment, implant, cosmetic and laser dentistry is not recognized as a specialty by the ADA. All dentists are independent contractors.

What Are Mini Dental Implants? The Mini Dental Implant (MDI) System consists of a miniature titanium implant that acts like the root of your tooth and a retaining fixture that is incorporated into the base of your denture, The head of the implant is shaped like a ball and the retaining fixture acts like a socket that contains a rubber O-ring. The O-ring snaps over the ball when the denture is seated and holds the denture at a predetermined level of force. When seated, the denture gently rests on the gum tissue. The implant fixtures allow for micromobility while withstanding natural lifting forces.

Is the Mini Dental Implant FDA approved? Yes, the product is safe for public use and in fact, has beneficial attributes, the FDA granted its formal consent to market the Mini Dental Implant device not only as a transitional or temporary dental product, but significantly, as a long-term item. IMTEC was the first company to receive long-term approval of its MDI implants from the FDA, and for several years, was the only company to have that distinction.

When can Mini Dental Implants be used? When critically needed for support purposes, and where solid bony adaptation (integration) has clearly occurred, mini implants can function as long-term supporting structures rather than as short-term or medium term devices. In fact, some have been successfully functioning in patients’ jaws for several decades. In the past several years, some clinicians have been utilizing MDI for single tooth replacements and in crown and bridge cases.

What’s the primary and most effective use for Mini Dental Implants? The most effective use of this unique dental product is stabilization of a lower denture. There are approximately 50 million people in the United States who are “edentulous” (literally meaning lacking teeth) who struggle daily with their dentures. A majority suffer a great deal of discomfort as a result of loose or ill-fitting dentures.

Many denture wearers simply withdraw from any type of social engagement as a result of being compelled to wear them.

Moreover, it’s not uncommon for family members to complain about a denture wearer’s disagreeable breath as a result of

cedure that can be performed under a mild anesthesia. The mini dental implants, which are approximately the size of wooden toothpicks, are placed about five millimeters apart in the patient’s mandible. The patient’s denture is then carefully adjusted by the dentist to allow it to snap onto the four mini implants. The stabilized denture allows a patient to speak and eat with confidence.

The Mini Dental Implants are placed in about an hour’s time. Because of the unique, minimally invasive procedure, the minute size of the implants, and the characteristic placement area, the typical Mini Dental Implant patient can enjoy a light meal an hour or so after having the mini implants placed.

Registration is now open for a new year of Hebrew School for children of North Dade.

This supplementary program is designed for boys & girls ages 5-12, attending American Heritage, Charter, Country Dade, Nova, Pine Crest, Riviera and anyone looking for a once-a-week Hebrew School.

“As we did last year, the program will be completely free with no cost and no obligation through the month of October” said Rabbi Kievman. There are no memberships, background Knowledge or affiliations required to enroll. After the holidays, regular classes will continue at super affordable pricing with an option for no cost to parents at all! The program starts Sept 7 and will meet weekly on Wednesday afternoons, 4:30-6:00. Classes are conveniently located in Highland Lakes, across from AWK8, just west of Aventura & north of

Skylake / North Miami Beach at Chabad Chayil.

The curriculum Includes: Prayer, Holidays, Traditions & Judaic study with a primary focus on Hebrew Reading custom designed to teach each child at whichever level they may be. “This program will offer a first taste of Jewish learning in a creative, joyful, hands-on and interesting way. We try to impart a sense of tradition using modern and innovative teaching techniques,” says school director Layah Kievman. “This is a Hebrew School of the highest quality that kids can’t wait to go to!”

According to all studies, Jewish education is a proven factor in ensuring Jewish involvement and continuity. Chabad seeks sponsors to subsidize tuition scholarships for families unable to pay. “We seek to ensure that every single child has access to a

high-quality Jewish education,” states Rabbi Moishe Kievman. “Chabad is the place to experience Jewish enrichment classes

in a fun, yet meaningful way. It’s where parents feel comfortable and where kids don’t want to miss a day!”

The school welcomes every Jew, regardless of religious background or level of observance. This school does not require membership of any sort as a condition for enrollment.

To register or learn about other afterschool activities (Leadership 4 Kids, Homework Help, Bar Mitzvah Prep, Tutoring and more), please call (305) 770-1919 or visit HebrewSchool.info.

Aventura fights to prevent the spread of Zika in South Florida The City of Aventura has focused on the identification and removal of standing water throughout the City. The City’s Community Service Department began in August to treat any public areas where standing water has accumulated more than 24 hours with environmentallyfriendly products to prevent the breeding of mosquitos in those areas. They ask that all private property areas such as condominiums and commercial business take the same proactive measure. These include the elimination of standing water and treatment of these areas where water has been standing for more than 24 hours.

The City’s Code Compliance Division are inspecting areas of the City to ensure that standing water has been eliminated

or treated. All residents should continue to do their part by draining standing water to prevent mosquito breeding and protecting themselves by using mosquito repellent and wearing long sleeves, pants and shoes when outside, particularly at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active. If you identify water that has been standing for more than 24 hours, please report it to the Community Services Department at 305-466-8930.

The City of Aventura continues to work closely with Miami-Dade County and the Florida Department of Health to minimize mosquitoes in the City. For more information, pertaining to Drain and Cover and mosquito control, visit www.miamidade.gov/mosquitoes.

CITY NEWS Lessons Learned In Hiring A Private Aide By the daughter of an Aventura mom

Finally, I found the perfect person to look after mom, who could no longer live alone safely. Marie, the aide, was referred by another aide in mom’s building, who seemed to take great care of a very demanding neighbor who was showing signs of confusion like my mother. During the interview process, Marie demonstrated patience, attentiveness to mom’s needs, and had glowing references. I even called two of them, who were out of state, but who affirmed how good Marie was to them or their family member. What a relief! After three weeks in Florida, I finally was able to return to my family in Ohio and feel that mom was in good hands.

At first, all was fabulous. Mom said Marie helped her with showering, picking out her clothes, made small meals, and they went to dinner a lot. Mom also said Marie helped her clean out her drawers and closets, and helped her organize her things.

Then, mom began to complain that Marie moves things around, and mom cannot find them. She told Marie to keep things in one place, and that Marie raising her voice to her. I spoke to Marie, who

said mom moves things around herself, and then cannot find them. I suggested that since mom can get confused, it might be best to organize things the way it would be easier for her. The next day, mom called and said her diamond ring and earrings were missing, and the $400 spare money that she has kept in the corner of her bedside table for years was also missing. I asked to speak to Marie. Mom informed me that Marie went down to the store and had not yet returned.

When I called back later, mom said Marie still had not returned and she did not know what she should do for dinner. I called Security in mom’s building. They had not seen the aide since she left in the morning. I asked them to check on mom.

Feeling upset myself, I called another neighbor, asking if she could either include my mother in her dinner plans or help mom order delivery from a local restaurant, and then see to it that she had something for breakfast in the morning. I called the Aventura police to report a possible theft, and booked an early morning flight back to Florida.

What an ordeal followed. However, at least mom was not physically harmed!

an agency due to a slightly higher cost, I began a rapid search of getting competent help as soon as possible, calling mom’s doctors and going online. The name Always Classic Care came up several times. When I called, the staff was most professional asking about mom’s status and needs. The owner, Terry Adler, joined the conversation with more specific questions about mom’s personality and capability status, as well as my concerns and services I felt mom would need. Terry advised me that she and her staff would confer immediately to select the most suitable aide, and that she would personally supervise the case. To my surprise, once paperwork was completed with staff, Terry called me back to report she had someone very special for mom who could start later that evening or first thing in the morning. I was amazed. Well, mom hit it off with the new aide immediately, and she has now been with mom for the over a year. It definitely was a great match.

Although I had avoided going through an agency because of the slightly higher cost, it took a bad experience for me to realize the many advantages of using a home health agency or nurse registry.

Aside from dealing with professionals, home health agencies are regulated by the State of Florida. All of their healthcare

workers must submit to a rigorous screening process that includes FBI fingerprinting for any history of wrong doing. A registered agency such as Always Classic Care requires a personal interview conducted by a professional staff who also scrutinize documentation of training, references and work history, and applicants are required to complete pre-employment testing as to knowledge of various levels of care. Also, if there is any problem, question, personality or communication issue once the aide is assigned, the agency will get involved and make immediate changes. And, as in the case of the missing Marie, Terry told me they would have become integrally involved in the investigation. I found that the agency may cost a few dollars more per hour than a private hiring, but now, the cost seems minimal when compared to the open communication and peace of mind that it can bring.

Always Classic Care has offices in three counties and is prepared to meet all your care needs.

Three DIY ways to improve your home WiFi have a limited range, it’s important that your router is in a central area. If you can’t move the router to a

the last day you didn’t use the web in some way.

But you probably don’t think much about the main way the internet is delivered: through WiFi. It powers your computer at work - as well as the Facebook feed you’re discreetly checking under your desk. At home, it’s the new electricity. Netflix, Hulu, and Pandora rely on it. It powers activities on your smartphone, unless you want to rack up a huge data bill from your carrier.

WiFi runs the kids’ Xbox and maybe even your thermostat and security camera - these days, almost every device in the home is thirsty for WiFi. When you do think about WiFi, it’s usually because it’s not working and driving you nuts.

Before investing in a more expensive internet package or living with buffering videos and router resets, here are three do-ityourself ways to improve your home WiFi: Move your router: If you have rooms that don’t have access to the internet - dead zones - first try moving your router to a more central location in the home. Because routers

different location, try elevating it on a table or shelf to spread the signal more efficiently.

Large metal appliances, like refrigerators, and electronics that emit radio waves, like microwaves, can interfere with your network’s signal. Keeping the router out of places like the kitchen can help bolster the range and speed of your WiFi. Upgrade to a mesh network: Most households rely on a single router. But with the steep increase in home internet usage, one WiFi router may not be adequate to support all the devices connected to it.

A San Francisco company, eero, was the first to bring a mesh WiFi system into the home. eero which is about as simple as anything gets in the tech world - works by swapping out your current router, plugging a single eero into your modem, then placing additional eeros throughout the house. The devices work together to create a wireless mesh network that delivers fast, reliable WiFi to every room. Their mesh technology ensures people

are getting the same internet speeds they’re paying for throughout the entire home, instead of just near wherever their cable pipe comes in. eero is quick to set up and makes it easy for people to manage their networks through a smartphone app. The app allows you to monitor your internet network from afar and invite guests to join the network via a text message. Parents can even assign schedules for when devices can access WiFi, making it easy to limit their kids’ internet usage.

Update your modem: An oftenoverlooked device that may be throttling your WiFi signal is the cable modem, the device that translates the data coming in through your cable pipe into a digital language your router can understand.

Households should update their modems every three to five years. If yours is outdated, it could be impacting the quality of your signal and speed.

Many people rent their modem from their internet service provider for $5-10 a month. Purchasing a new, updated modem usually costs $50-100, but you’ll save money on a rental fee while seeing major improvements to your WiFi. The way we use the internet today has changed and the old ways of WiFi are not keeping pace. Whether it’s moving your router, upgrading to an eero mesh network, or just swapping out your modem, you shouldn’t have to deal with buffering, dead zones, or router resets.

(Family Features) Today’s students are increasingly at risk of being bullied, and the effects of bullying can be devastating.

Bullying is a problem that affects millions of students of all races and classes.

One in four kids is bullied and 42 percent of kids have been bullied while online.

According to data from STOMP Out Bullying, the leading national antibullying and cyberbullying organization for kids and teens, bullies are more likely to skip school, drop out of school, smoke, drink alcohol, get into fights and be arrested at some point in their lives. Many kids who have experienced bullying show decreases in academic achievement and school participation.

Some kids are so tormented that suicide has become an alternative for them and some bullying targets resort to violent retaliation.

On the first Monday of October, STOMP Out Bullying’s Blue Shirt Day World Day of Bullying Prevention raises awareness by giving kids a voice, making it the day that bullying prevention is heard around the world. October is National Bullying Prevention Awareness Month, and this year on Oct. 3, students, schools and adults will wear blue shirts in solidarity so everyone hears the message about bullying prevention.

Education is another important element of the campaign, which strives to promote awareness, encourage communication and ultimately prevent bullying by sharing tips such as these: Understand bullying behaviors. There are many different types of bullying.

Bullying is defined as intentional, aggressive and repeated behavior that involves an imbalance of power or strength. It can take several forms, including physical (hitting, punching, beating); verbal (teasing, name calling, threats); emotional (intimidation, social exclusion, threats); and cyberbullying (online harassment, hate messages, threats, impersonation and other digital abuse).

Learn to recognize signs of bullying.

Students who are victims of bullying may come home with torn or missing pieces of clothing, books or other belongings. They may have unexplained cuts, bruises and scratches. Bullying victims may appear sad, moody, teary or depressed and may seem anxious and suffer from low selfesteem. Bullying can manifest physical afflictions, too, such as headaches or

stomachaches, trouble sleeping or frequent bad dreams and a loss of appetite.

Have conversations often and approach your concerns with sensitivity.

Bullying can cause shame and embarrassment. When talking with a child, don’t just ask if they’re being bullied. Instead, ask questions such as: “I’ve heard a lot about bullying in the news. Is that going on at your school?” or “Do you know anyone who is being bullied?”

Know what steps to take when bullying happens. If you suspect a child is being bullied at school, it is never a good idea to approach the bully’s parents. Rather, prepare documentation of what has been occurring, with as much detail as possible. Schedule a meeting with the principal and ask - don’t demand - for their help. Document the action steps agreed upon at this meeting and follow up to ensure changes are implemented and the bullying ceases. In some cases, if laws have been broken or there have been threats against a child, it may be appropriate to also involve local law enforcement.

Get involved in the anti-bullying movement. Purchase your Blue Shirt, plus find more tips and resources to help prevent bullying, at stompoutbullying.org.

Residents doing their part to go green

By Larry Blustein - Aventura Digest

As we are now into the month of September - and the heat and humidity are still very much with us, many residents are thinking more healthy this year.

With so many amenities throughout the city, residents have fully taken advantage of the summer months and embrace fall and winter like never before.

“We have so many different things here in Aventura to keep you in shape year round,” said Margot Rosen. “I personally have found that work-

ing up a sweat exercising and eating better makes all the difference in how I feel.”

Rosen and her boyfriend, Michael, made a pact during May, that they would really get serious when June rolled around.

They have both lost weight and found themselves eating a lot better.

“It’s amazing when you put your mind to something what can happen,” Rosen pointed out. “Over the past year, because of our jobs, we came home and ate and then sat

around. But now, we ride bikes, walk and use the many parks that they have within a half mile of our home.” This summer, the City of Aventura has turned things up a notch with many programs that will appeal to residents of all ages.

City Launches Bike Share Program Last week, the City of Aventura rolled out a bike share program, Aventura BCycle, as a grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony was held at

SEPTEMBER 2016 • AVENTURA DIGEST • PG 16

Founders Park. With the launch of this program, the City aims to support green transportation by reducing car pollution, reduce traffic, and provide the opportunity for great exercise around the City of Excellence! Please join the City of Aventura Mayor and Commission as they cut the ribbon and make Aventura BCycle official!

Five bike share stations have been installed at the following locations: • Community Recreation Center, 3375 NE 188 Street.

• Aventura Mall Transit Terminal.

• North Country Club Drive at 34th Avenue.

• Waterways Park, 3301 NE 213 Street.

• Founders Park, 3105 NE 190 Street.

Aventura BCycle bikes feature 3 speeds, front and rear lights, hand brakes, an integrated bell and a front basket too! Riders are encouraged to wear their own bike helmet for safety.

Riders can ride utilizing their credit card, but are encouraged to purchase a weekly or an annual membership. Members enjoy the benefit of paying a reduced rate.

The Aventura BCycle program is operated in partnership with Broward BCycle. For complete information about the Aventura BCycle program

including membership registration, visit the website at: aventura.bcycle .com - or call BCycle support at 888-852-8665.

Community Green Garden Is Open Residents were treated to an opportunity for a healthier lifestyle, when the Aventura Community Green Garden at Founders Park south opened.

This project features an opportunity for residents to grow vegetables, flowers, herbs, and other plants in their own 4’ x 12’ garden section. The City continues accepting the Green Garden membership and garden section rental fees which are $100 per year and membership in the Garden Club is $10 per year. Garden sections will be assigned in the order that applications and the required fees are received.

The Community Green Garden features garden sections filled with sterilized topsoil that is fenced off and gated. Two hose bibs will be available for hand watering purposes.

The Garden hours will be 8 AM - 8 PM during the summer and 8 AM - 6 PM during the winter months.

For more information, visit: cityofaventura.com for the Community Green Garden Club Rules and

Application, or call 305466-8008 for more information. Applications are also available at all City parks and the Community Recreation Center.

Aventura Seeks Green Market Vendors Speaking about eating healthy, the 2016-2017 Green Market season is starting in November - and it has become one of the most popular destinations for residents and visitors alike.

The City is looking for additional vendors for this upcoming season, which will add to the already impressive lineup that they have. Fruit and vegetable farmers and specialty food producers including but not limited to bakers, juicers, jelly & jam makers, as well as oil & vinegar enthusiasts are encouraged to register for space at the market. The market is scheduled to be held every Sunday at Founders Park South located at 3105 NE 190 Street from 9 AM – 2:30 PM during the months of November 2016 through April 2017.

Interested vendors should contact Colleen Sullivan at: Colleen@ seastarevent.com and/or at 954-618-9977. Tent space is limited and will be assigned in the order received.

Feliz día del Trabajo, Estados Unidos

Lo Que Usted Necesita Saber Sobre El Virus Del Zika Por Cecilia Mandriotti Reportera y Conductora de Televisión

Ya suman 36 casos confirmados de transmisiones locales de Zika en Miami, específicamente en los barrios turísticos de Wynwood y Miami Beach. Se recomienda a mujeres embarazadas evitar viajar a estas zonas y las locales protegerse ante la picadura de mosquitos transmisores, el Aedes Aegypti.

A continuación les presentamos 5 puntos importantes que usted necesita saber sobre el virus del Zika.

3. El Zika está asociado a defectos congénitos.

La infección por el virus del Zika durante el embarazo puede causar un defecto congénito grave denominado microcefalia, que es señal de un desarrollo incompleto del cerebro. Los médicos también han detectado otros problemas en los embarazos y entre los fetos y bebés que se infectan con el virus del Zika antes del nacimiento. Si está embarazada y su pareja vive en un área con Zika o ha viajado a una de ellas, no mantenga relaciones sexuales o use condones correctamente cada vez que tenga sexo durante el embarazo.

4. Las mujeres embarazadas no deberían viajar a áreas de transmisión de Zica.

Si tiene que viajar a alguna de estas áreas, hable primero con su proveedor de atención médica y tome todas las medidas para prevenir las picaduras de mosquitos durante el viaje.

5. Los viajeros que regresan con la enfermedad por el virus del Zika pueden propagar el virus a través de las picaduras de mosquitos.

Durante la primera semana de infección, el virus del Zika puede detectarse en la sangre de una persona y puede transmitirse de una persona infectada a un mosquito a través de la picadura. Después, el mosquito infectado puede transmitir el virus a otras personas.

Las parejas en que uno de los integrantes vive en un área con Zika o ha viajado a una de ellas deberían tomar medidas para protegerse durante las relaciones sexuales.

Acá en los Estado Unidos el primer lunes del mes de setiembre se celebra el día del trabajo, Labor Day. Sabían que es un día festivo federal y marca el final de la temporada de verano. Tiene su origen en un desfile celebrado el 5 de septiembre de 1882 en Nueva York organizado por la Nobel Orden de los Caballeros del Trabajo. En otros países prefieren celebrarlo el 1 de mayo, fecha en que se conmemora el inicio en 1886 de una huelga reivindicativa de la jornada laboral de ocho horas y que había llevado a la Revuelta de Haymarket de Chicago.

El presidente Grover Cleveland creyó que el feriado del 1 de mayo sería una oportunidad para desórdenes. Por tanto, temiendo que reforzara el movimiento socialista, rápidamente en 1887 dio su apoyo a la posición de los Caballeros del Trabajo y su fecha para el día del Trabajo.

Por supuesto nos remontamos al año 2016, cuando todos disfrutamos de un fin de semana con familiares y amigos y gozamos de los últimos días de playa de la temporada. Pero siempre es importante reflexionar los beneficios que tenemos como empleados de poder gozar con ciertos derechos básicos para el trabajo y algunos beneficios más.

A continuación, te daremos algunos consejos que podrás tener en cuenta en este día.

Salir a recorrer aquel parque o reserva que has querido recorrer muchas veces pero por falta de tiempo no has podido hacerlo, este, será un grandioso día para hacerlo en familia o con amigos.

Organiza una rica cena con amigos en casa, pero un consejo que te damos, es que no pierdas tiempo en cocinar, trata de disfrutar de tu tiempo libre recuperando todo ese tiempo de tanto trabajo, ordenar comida será una gran opción.

1. El Zika se propaga principalmente a través de mosquitos infectados. Usted también puede contraer la enfermedad por vía sexual.

Muchas áreas de los Estados Unidos tienen el tipo de mosquito que puede propagar el virus del Zika. Estos mosquitos pican de manera agresiva durante el día pero también pueden hacerlo por la noche. Además, una persona con Zika puede transmitir la infección por vía sexual a sus parejas sexuales.

2. La mejor manera de prevenir el Zika es evitando las picaduras de mosquitos.

Use un repelente de insectos registrado en la EPA. ¡Funciona!

Use camisas de manga larga y pantalones largos.

Quédese en lugares que tengan aire acondicionado o mallas en puertas y ventanas.

Elimine el agua estancada que esté cerca de su casa.

OPINIÓN POLÍTICA Mientras la Rubia gana, el Rubio se va Por Renzo P. Martorella Consultor de Medios digitales e Estrategias Institucionales

Nadie termina de entender cómo y cuándo la política en los Estados Unidos cayó tan bajo.

Sera que todo esto empezó con la aparición del Tea Party o cuando Bill Clinton después de admitir sus mentiras, supero un proceso de acusación del empeachment. Lo que si es cierto es que esta nueva ronda electoral viene probando la fortaleza del proceso electoral de la democracia más grande del mundo. Después de unas primarias llenas de sorpresas y frustraciones tenemos dos candidatos con exceso de equipaje como para que nadie se sienta tranquilo en el futuro.

Pero resulta que en las últimas semanas el candidato

republicano, Donald Trump decidió salirse de sus casillas más aun y terminar con su carrera política de manera apoteótica. Sus declaraciones controver-siales, insultos selectivos y propuestas sin fundamentos no solo ya sentenciaron el resultado final de las elecciones presidenciales, si no resulta que va a tomar otras víctimas republicanas más, y el candidato a la reelección, senador republicano Marco Rubio, que ha terminado siendo un candidato demasiado vulnerable que estimo perderá en su intento de volver a Washington D.C. Rubio, ya tiene el camino complicado desde que perdió sus propias primarias presidenciales en su propio estado y ahora enfrenta un demócrata local muy bien

financiado y con un nombre que a muchos agrada, ha entrado en la tremenda encrucijada de mantenerse al lado de su candidato presidencial el cual desprecia y poco a poco le apago la luz a la exitosa carrera política del joven abogado cubano americano. La falta de voluntad política de Rubio por desligarse de Trump, le viene costando votos y para el mes de noviembre su ligera ventaja actual, prácticamente estará desaparecida, donde presumo que perderá junto al señor Trump en el estado de la Florida.

Ahora de la otra parte, se perfila la primera mujer presidente de esta nación.

Gracias a la buena aprobación y popularidad del actual presidente Obama, indicadores decentes de la economía y el

temor por una opción de un billonario sin ideología. Le han dado a Hillary Clinton, la gran oportunidad de hacer historia a su manera. Solo necesita minimizar sus errores, esconder sus secretos, acentuar su mensaje y tener un buen performance en los debates presidenciales, para garantizar su esperada victoria. Pero, a donde quedamos nosotros los Hispano Americanos, inmigrantes pujantes que venimos construyendo nuestra nueva patria. Si Hillary, logra arrastrar el senado a su favor, seria de nuestro mayor interés empujar una verdadera reforma

migratoria que ofrezca una amnistía que permita regularizar a tantos ciudadanos que se han ganado el derecho de vivir con tranquilidad y estabilidad.

Y con la salida política del señor Rubio, seguiré esperando esos líderes regionales que se animen asumir un liderazgo nacional para poder construir ese consenso Latino americano como mucho esperamos.

Pero, por ahora que se vengan los próximos 3 meses del circo político liderado por un entertainer excéntrico y el pragmatismo de una señora que ha venido preparándose para estos momentos a todo precio.

According to the American Podiatric Medical Association, approximately 40% of patients visiting a podiatrist have complaints or signs of toe fungus. It may begin with tenderness or pain in the toe, developing into an unsightly thick, darkened nail, and it can spread from toe to toe. In fact, the fungus can get so out of control that it can infect the foot and ankle.

Topical treatment such as Lamisil cream usually is the first course of therapy for a mild or moderate case. However, long-term use or oral antifungal medication is not recommended due to the toxic side effects Lamisil can have on the liver. This is a special risk if a patient is taking other medications, including excessive use of Tylenol that can manifest the same hepatic damage.

Over the past few years, Dr. Charlton Adler has been following closely the application and reported results of laser therapy on fungus toenails and other podiatric and wound situations. He is pleased to announce that he now is able to add this service as a therapeutic option in his office in North Miami Beach.

“The introduction of laser in treating toe fungus has had a major impact on attacking this uncomfortable and unsightly problem,” says Dr. Adler. He further explains that Onychomycosis, the medical term for fungal infection of the nail, is often ignored because it can be present for years without causing pain.

“When the fungus imbeds itself under the nail,” he adds, “the nail surface can become darker in color and the area can develop an odor. The fungus lives on debris under the nail, and white marks can appear on the nail plate.”

Approved for the treatment of nail fungus five years ago by the Food and Drug Administration, the special appeal of lasers is that it selectively heats and destroys harmful fungi while sparing healthy surrounding skin. Because of the intensity of the heat generated by laser rays, Enrique Mechulon a specially trained and certified laser technician working with Dr. Adler, says that both he and the patient wear laser protective glasses and take several rest periods during the 40-minute process.

“I have already witnessed many suc-

cess stories where patients have spent years and thousands of dollars to get rid of their nail fungus,” says Mechulon.

“Depending on the patient’s general health and nail problem, it can take anywhere from one to nine treatments, but the results are there with minimum risk to the body,” he adds.

“I wanted to offer this therapy for quite a while,” says Dr. Adler. “However, I am cautious in my approach, and I needed more proof on studies and reports.” Dr. Adler adds that research shows that 80% of all toe fungus has been healed using laser therapy. “This is in contrast to topical ointments that only work 50% of the time,” says Adler, “and with topical treatment, the infection usually returns.”

Dr. Charlton Adler is certified by three prestigious Boards: the American Board of Podiatric Surgery, the American Board of Podiatric Orthopedics and Primary Podiatric Medicine, and he is a Certified Wound Care Specialist. His main office is located at 1380 NE Miami Gardens Drive, Suite 235 North Miami Beach, FL 33179. Staff is bilingual Spanish.

The symptoms associated with attentiondeficit-hyperactivity disorder can put even the best parenting skills to the test. Children and teenagers with ADHD don’t listen, or at least don’t seem to listen. They often fail to complete tasks, whether it’s a school assignment or a household chore. They can be impulsive, hitting a sibling or classmate when they feel frustrated, or failing to wait their turn when playing a game. As a spotlight is put on the condition during October, which is ADHD Awareness Month, it’s worth noting that the disorder has an impact on the parents as well as the offspring.

Irritated by repeated undesirable behaviors, mothers and fathers may lash out,

dealing more harshly with infractions than they should. Later, feeling guilty because of their overreaction, the parents may allow the child to get away with other misbehaviors. Then tension builds again until once more the peeved parents explode and begin feeling guilty about their reactions all over again.

“It’s important to break that cycle of guilt when dealing with the ADHD child,” says Daniel Amen, M.D., a clinical neuroscientist and brain-imaging expert who also is the founder of Amen Clinics (www.amenclinics.com), which treat patients at six locations around the country. “The best way to do that is to deal with difficult behavior whenever it occurs and not allowing the tension to build up.

Retraining difficult behavior patterns is an essential part of the treatment for ADD.” Amen, author of “Healing ADD” and the New York Times bestseller “Change Your Brain, Change Your Life,” says there are steps parents can take that will help shape positive behavior in a child with ADD/ADHD and help the parent avoid those

guilty feelings.

• Define the desired and undesirable behaviors.

Before you can shape behavior, you need to be clear on what behaviors you want and don’t want, Amen says. A desirable behavior might be doing homework before going out to play. An undesirable behavior might be talking back to a parent.

• Establish how often negative or positive behavior occurs. Keep a log for anywhere from a week to a month to track how many times a behavior occurs.

Having a baseline will allow you to know whether your interventions are having an effect.

• Communicate rules and expectations clearly.

When children know what is expected of them, they are much more likely to do it. Too often, Amen says, parents believe children should know how to act without the rules being clearly communicated.

• Reward desired behavior. Once clear expectations are given, it’s essential to reward the behavior that meets expectations. Rewards can be such things as verbal praise, a hug, a small pre-

sent, a trip to the library or park, and even money.

• Administer clear, unemotional consequences for negative behavior. Be in control of your emotions, don’t nag or belittle the child, and use logical consequences. For example, if a child refuses to put away his or her toys, the toys could be taken away for a few days. Having a good relationship with the child is perhaps the most important factor, Amen says. “With a good parentchild relationship, almost any form of discipline will work,” he says. “With a poor parent-child relationship, any form of discipline will probably fail.

Relationships require two things: time and a willingness to listen.”

Daniel Amen, M.D., (www.amenclinics.com) is a clinical neuroscientist and brain imaging expert who heads Amen Clinics, which are located in Orange County, Calif., Atlanta, San Francisco, NYC, Washington, D.C., and the Seattle area. He has written numerous books, including “Healing ADD” and “Change Your Brain, Change Your Life.”

Dr. Amen also has appeared as a guest on such TV shows as “The View” and was a consultant for the movie “Concussion.”

REAL ESTATE Smart Strategies to Settle an Estate (Family Features) When a parent passes away, it’s usually left to their offspring to manage and disperse the remaining estate.

In the wake of such a loss, emotions can run high, and the sheer amount of paperwork can quickly become overwhelming.

If you’re in the throes of settling an estate, whether by yourself or with the assistance of your siblings, consider these tips to help chart a smoother course.

Get organized. Keep a seemingly endless to-do list manageable by writing everything down. Create a system for prioritizing each task and if there are others who are willing to help, delegate what you can. Establish categories such as bills to pay and other outstanding debts,

accounts to close, agencies and organizations that need to be notified of the death and so on.

Know your limits. Some estates are simple and straightforward: There’s a basic will, few assets, known heirs, and it’s easy to grasp what happens next. Others are far more complicated. If you find yourself in over your head, seek help from an expert such as an estate attorney who can guide you through the legalities and paperwork.

Expect the unexpected.

It may come in the form of a change in the will or old letters stashed in a closet, but it’s a safe bet that in settling the estate, you’ll come across something you weren’t expecting.
