GLAUCOMA
4 KEY FACTS ABOUT GLAUCOMA
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness.
Glaucoma can cause blindness if it is left untreated. And unfortunately approximately 10% of people with glaucoma who receive proper treatment still experience loss of vision.
There is no cure (yet) for glaucoma.
Glaucoma is not curable, and vision lost cannot be regained. With medication and/or surgery, it is possible to halt further loss of vision. Since open-angle glaucoma is a chronic condition, it must be monitored for life. Diagnosis is the first step to preserving your vision.
Everyone is at risk for glaucoma.
Everyone is at risk for glaucoma from babies to senior citizens. Older people are at a higher risk for glaucoma but babies can be born with glaucoma (approximately 1 out of every 10,000 babies born in the United States). Young adults can get glaucoma, too.
There may be no symptoms to warn you.
With open-angle glaucoma, the most common form, there are virtually no symptoms. Usually, no pain is associated with increased eye pressure. Vision loss begins with peripheral or side vision. You may compensate for this unconsciously by turning your head to the side, and may not notice anything until significant vision is lost. The best way to protect your sight from glaucoma is to get tested. If you have glaucoma, treatment can begin immediately.
SOME STATISTICS ABOUT GLAUCOMA • It is estimated that over 3 million Americans have glaucoma but only half of those know they have it. • In the U.S., more than 120,000 are blind from glaucoma, accounting for 9% to 12% of all cases of blindness. • Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the world, according to the World Health Organization. • People over 60, family members of those already diagnosed, diabetics, and people who are severely nearsighted are at a higher risk for glaucoma. • Estimates put the total number of suspected cases of glaucoma at over 60 million worldwide.

Healthy Weight Week:
How to be the
YOU! Happiest & Healthiest
Diets don't work - healthy lifelong habits are what will get you weight loss, weight maintenance, and good health. Celebrate National Healthy Weight Week during the third week in January by dropping the diet and picking up a few healthy habits instead.
During Healthy Weight Week, hide your scale, do not peek at a height and weight chart, and avoid body mass index (BMI) calculations.
The concept behind Healthy Weight Week is that dieting is harmful to your self-esteem. You diet because you view yourself as overweight. Then the punishment, deprivation, restricting calories, and avoiding happy hour starts. But if you are always hungry or feel deprived and view yourself as "fat,” then packing on the pounds is easy.
Change your thinking and focus on these goals:
So what exactly is a “healthy” weight? Uncontrollable elements that affect weight are height, bone density, body type and body composition (the innate ratio of body muscle to fat). During Healthy Weight Week, setting a weight goal and sticking to a set number of calories does not take first priority. For example, if you are part of the "clean your plate club" and are having difficulty losing weight, instead of concentrating on counting calories, use a smaller plate. You will eat the same food you always enjoy, finish the food on your plate, and lose weight. A simple change makes weight loss easy. Positive body image and establishing a healthy relationship with food is what counts and can help you reach weight goals. Stanford University School of Medicine found that 63 percent of participants in a study who had a positive body image were more successful at losing and maintaining weight for a year compared to a 26 percent success rate for those who were discontent with their bodies.
3
Love yourself, love your body. • Accept your weight and embrace who you are. • Set realistic health guidelines for yourself. • Focus on positive lifestyle changes. • Appreciate yourself. Create positive relationships with family, friends, and food. • Change your thoughts: Erase negative thoughts and begin positive self-talk: "I am beautiful.” • Enjoy your eating experience by eating a variety of foods. Do not diet or obsess on food, weight, or calories. Eat when hungry, stop when full. • Move your body. Enjoy a hobby or turn up the tunes and dance. • Relax. Take time out for yourself. If you enjoy Healthy Weight Week, don't stop at one week, make lasting lifestyle changes forever!

A Little Gland With A Big Job
The Thyroid Gland The thyroid gland, a small butterfly-shaped gland in the front of your neck, makes thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones travel from the thyroid gland through the blood to all parts of the body, where they do their work.
Your thyroid uses iodine to make thyroid hormone. Iodine comes from food, mainly seafood and dairy products. It is also added to salt since it can be hard to get enough from food.
WHY ARE THYROID HORMONES IMPORTANT? Thyroid hormones help all your organs work well. They control how your body uses food for energy. Thyroid hormones affect your metabolism rate, which means how fast or slow your brain, heart, muscles, liver, and other parts of your body work.
Your thyroid gland is located in the front of your neck.
If your body works too fast or too slowly, you won’t feel well. For example, if you don’t have enough thyroid hormone, you might feel tired and cold. Or, if you have too much thyroid hormone, you might feel nervous, jumpy, and warm.
Having thyroid hormone levels that are too low (underactive thyroid gland).
HOW DOES THE THYROID GLAND WORK? Your thyroid gland is controlled by the pituitary gland, a pea-sized gland located at the base of your brain. The pituitary gland keeps checking the amount of thyroid hormone in your blood. Then it tells your thyroid to make more or less hormone so there’s always the right amount.
WHAT CAN GO WRONG WITH MY THYROID? A few things can go wrong. But you can get treatment to fix thyroid problems. Anyone—even babies— can have thyroid problems.
Sometimes the thyroid gland doesn’t make enough thyroid hormone, which is called hypothyroidism. When you don’t have enough thyroid hormone, parts of your body work too slowly. Symptoms of underactive thyroid include: • Feeling tired. • Feeling cold even when other people are comfortable or even warm. • Having a slow heart rate and dry skin. • Being constipated. • Gaining weight even though you’re not eating more or exercising less than usual. • In children, growing very slowly.
4
Having thyroid hormone levels that are too high (overactive thyroid gland). Sometimes the thyroid gland makes too much thyroid hormone, which is called hyperthyroidism. Think of your body as a car and your thyroid as the engine. An overactive thyroid makes your body idle too fast. Symptoms of overactive thyroid gland include: • Feeling nervous and irritable. • Having trouble concentrating. • Feeling too warm even when other people don’t feel warm. • Having a fast heart rate and diarrhea. • Having trouble sleeping. • Losing weight without trying. Having a lump in your thyroid gland. You can have a lump or swelling in your thyroid gland, called a nodule. Nodules may have no effect on how the gland works, or can lead to too much thyroid hormone. Most nodules are benign, but some can be cancerous.
Having an enlarged thyroid gland. When your thyroid is enlarged (called a goiter), it can produce too much, not enough, or just the right amount of thyroid hormone. Your doctor will try to find out why your thyroid is enlarged. CAN I LIVE WITHOUT MY THYROID? Yes. If your doctor needs to remove your thyroid, you can stay healthy by taking a thyroid hormone pill every day. QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR DOCTOR • What’s wrong with my thyroid? • Do I need more tests? • What treatment do I need? • How long will I need the treatment? • Does the treatment have side effects? • How often should I have check-ups? • Should I see an endocrinologist for my care?

How to Take the Thyroid Neck Check Step 1 Hold the mirror in your hand, focusing on the lower front area of your neck, above the collarbones, and below the voice box (larynx). Your thyroid gland is located in this area of your neck.

Step 2 While focusing on this area in the mirror, tip your head back.
Step 3
Step 4
Step 5
Take a drink of water and swallow.
As you swallow, look at your neck. Check for any bulges or protrusions in this area when you swallow. Reminder: Don't confuse the Adam's apple with the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is located further down on your neck, closer to the collarbone. You may want to repeat this process several times.
If you do see any bulges or protrusions in this area, see your physician. You may have an enlarged thyroid gland or a thyroid nodule that should be checked to determine whether futher evaluation is needed.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING SCREENED FOR
CERVICAL CANCER Cervical cancer is the easiest gynecologic cancer to prevent, with regular screening tests and follow-up. There are two screening tests can help prevent cervical cancer or find it early -
• THE PAP TEST: looks for precancers, cell changes on the cervix that might become cervical cancer if they are not treated appropriately.
• THE HPV TEST: looks for the virus (human papillomavirus) that can cause these cell changes.
When to Get Screened You should start getting regular pap tests at age 21. The pap test, which screens for cervical cancer, is one of the most reliable and effective cancer screening tests available. The only cancer for which the pap test screens is cervical cancer. It does not screen for ovarian, uterine, vaginal, or vulvar cancers. So even if you have a pap test regularly, if you notice any signs or symptoms that are unusual for you, see a doctor to find out why you’re having them. If your pap test results are normal, your doctor may tell you that you can wait three years until your next pap test. If you are 30 years old or older, you may choose to have an HPV test along with the pap test. Both tests can be performed by your doctor at the same time. When both tests are performed together, it is called co-testing. If your test results are normal, your chance of getting cervical cancer in the next few years is very low. Your doctor may then tell you that you can wait as long as five years for your next screening. But you should still go to the doctor regularly for a checkup.
If you are 21 to 65 years old, it is important for you to continue getting a Pap test as directed by your doctor—even if you think you are too old to have a child or are not having sex anymore. If you are older than 65 and have had normal Pap test results for several years, or if you have had your cervix removed as part of a total hysterectomy for non-cancerous conditions, like fibroids, your doctor may tell you that you do not need to have a Pap test anymore.
Test Results It can take as long as three weeks to receive your test results. If your test shows that something might not be normal, your doctor will contact you and figure out how best to follow up. There are many reasons why test results might not be normal. It usually does not mean you have cancer. If your test results show cells that are not normal and may become cancer, your doctor will let you know if you need to be treated. In most cases, treatment prevents cervical cancer from developing. It is important to follow up with your doctor right away to learn more about your test results and receive any treatment that may be needed.

Slips, Trips & Falls
WINTER
Safety
TIPS!
When it's cold, snowy and icy outside, we all have to be extra careful so we don't injure ourselves by slipping, tripping or falling. Here are some tips to help you stay safe this winter: • Plan ahead and give yourself sufficient time. • When walking on steps, always use the hand railings and plant your feet firmly on each step. • When walking on an icy or snow-covered walkway, take short steps and walk at a slower pace so you can react quickly to a change in traction. • Bending your knees a little and taking slower and shorter steps increases traction and can greatly reduce your chances of falling. It also helps to stop occasionally to break momentum. • Streets and sidewalks that have been cleared of snow and ice should still be approached with caution. Look out for "black ice." Dew, fog or water vapor can freeze on cold surfaces and form an extra-thin, nearly invisible layer of ice that can look like a wet spot on the pavement. It often shows up early in the morning or in areas that are shaded from the sun.
7
• Carrying heavy items can challenge your sense of balance. Try not to carry too much--you need to leave your hands and arms free to better balance yourself. • Be prepared to fall and try to avoid using your arms to break your fall. If you fall backward, make a conscious effort to tuck your chin so your head doesn't strike the ground with a full force. • When entering a building, remove as much snow and water from your boots as you can. Take notice that floors and stairs may be wet and slippery--walk carefully.

Choosing A Primary Care Physician - The Smart Way Choosing a new physician can be a difficult task. Asking for recommendations is a good way to start, but ultimately you will have to decide which physician is best suited to your individual needs and situation. It is important to establish a relationship with a primary care physician (PCP), especially before you ever get sick. Primary care doctors should be the first line of defense in protecting your health, but millions of Americans don’t have a PCP. Even patients who regularly visit specialists don’t always have a PCP, leaving them unprepared when the flu or an infection strikes. Everyone gets sick at some point, so selecting a PCP ahead of time means you don’t have to scramble around when you need medical care.

Here are some questions and answers that can help you select a PCP who understands your particular needs. What information should I find out about the doctor? It may help to ask the doctor’s office these questions: • At which hospitals does the doctor have privileges? • How long does it take to get in to see the doctor for a routine visit and for urgently needed care? • Who covers for the doctor when the need arises? • Is the doctor board certified? (This means he or she has had training after medical school and has passed an exam to be certified as a specialist in a certain field.)
Clinic of Family Medicine
What information should I bring to my appointment? It is important to provide your doctor with the following: • Your health history. • A list of medications you’re taking. • Any vitamins or supplements you take. • A description of any current health problems you’re having. If you have symptoms, the doctor will want to know when they first appeared and how often. • A list of questions. Ask your doctor to explain any answers you don’t understand.
