The Current State of Obesity Solutions in the United States: Workshop Summary
Paperback / softback. New. For the first time in decades promising news has emerged regarding efforts to curb the obesity crisis in the United States. Obesity rates have fallen among low-income children in 18 states the prevalence of obesity has plateaued among girls regardless of ethnicity and targeted efforts in states such as Massachusetts have demonstrably reduced the prevalence of obesity among children. Although the reasons for this turnaround are as complex and multifaceted as the reasons for the dramatic rise in obesity rates in recent decades interventions to improve nutrition and increase physical activity are almost certainly major contributors. Yet major problems remain. Diseases associated with obesity continue to incur substantial costs and cause widespread human suffering. Moreover substantial disparities in obesity rates exist among population groups and in some cases these disparities are widening. Some groups and regions are continuing to experience increases in obesity rates and the prevalence of severe obesity is continuing to rise. The Current State of Obesity Solutions in the United States is the summary of a workshop convened in January 2014 by the Institute of Medicine Roundtable on Obesity Solutions to foster an ongoing dialogue on critical and emerging implementation policy and research issues to accelerate progress in obesity prevention and care. Representatives of public health health care government the food industry education philanthropy the nonprofit sector and academia met to discuss interventions designed to prevent and treat obesity. The workshop focused on early care and education schools worksites health care institutions communities and states the federal government and business and industry. For each of these groups this report provides an overview of current efforts to improve nutrition increase physical activity and reduce disparities among populations. paperback

Sustainable Diets: Food for Healthy People and a Healthy Planet: Workshop Summary
Paperback / softback. New. One of the many benefits of the U.S. food system is a safe nutritious and consistent food supply. However the same system also places significant strain on land water air and other natural resources. A better understanding of the food-environment synergies and trade-offs associated with the U.S. food system would help to reduce this strain. Many experts would like to use that knowledge to develop dietary recommendations on the basis of environmental as well as nutritional considerations. But identifying and quantifying those synergies and trade-offs let alone acting on them is a challenge in and of itself. The difficulty stems in part from the reality that experts in the fields of nutrition agricultural science and natural resource use often do not regularly collaborate with each other with the exception of some international efforts. Sustainable Diets is the summary of a workshop convened by The Institute of Medicine's Food Forum and Roundtable on Environmental Health Sciences Research and Medicine in May 2013 to engender dialogue between experts in nutrition and experts in agriculture and natural resource sustainability and to explore current and emerging knowledge on the food and nutrition policy implications of the increasing environmental constraints on the food system. Experts explored the relationship between human health and the environment including the identification and quantification of the synergies and trade-offs of their impact. This report explores the role of the food price environment and how environmental sustainability can be incorporated into dietary guidance and considers research priorities policy implications and drivers of consumer behaviors that will enable sustainable food choices. paperback

Managing Food Safety Practices from Farm to Table: Workshop Summary
Paperback / softback. New. Legal regulations and manufacturers' monitoring practices have not been enough to prevent contamination of the national food supply and protect consumers from serious harm. In addressing food safety risks regulators could perhaps better ensure the quality and safety of food by monitoring food production not just at a single point in production but all along the way from farm to table. Recognizing the troubled state of food safety the Institute of Medicine's IOM Food Forum met in Washington DC on September 9 2008 to explore the management of food safety practices from the beginning of the supply chain to the marketplace. paperback

Implementing Evidence-Based Prevention by Communities to Promote Cognitive Affective and Behavioral Health in Children: Proceedings of a Workshop
Paperback / softback. New. Communities provide the context in which programs principles and policies are implemented. Their needs dictate the kinds of programs that community organizers and advocates program developers and implementers and researchers will bring to bear on a problem. Their characteristics help determine whether a program will succeed or fail. The detailed workings of programs cannot be separated from the communities in which they are embedded. Communities also represent the front line in addressing many behavioral health conditions experienced by children adolescents young adults and their families. Given the importance of communities in shaping the health and well being of young people the National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine held a workshop in June 2016 to examine the implementation of evidence- based prevention by communities. Participants examined questions related to scaling up managing and sustaining science in communities. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop. paperback

Aging and Disability: Beyond Stereotypes to Inclusion: Proceedings of a Workshop
Paperback / softback. New. Many different groups of people are subject to stereotypes. Positive stereotypes e.g. aEUROoeolder and wiseraEURO may provide a benefit to the relevant groups. However negative stereotypes of aging and of disability continue to persist and in some cases remain socially acceptable. Research has shown that when exposed to negative images of aging older persons demonstrate poor physical and cognitive performance and function while those who are exposed to positive images of aging or who have positive self-perceptions of aging demonstrate better performance and function. Furthermore an individualaEURO TMs expectations about and perceptions of aging can predict future health outcomes. To better understand how stereotypes affect older adults and individuals with disabilities the National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine with support from AARP convened a public workshop on October 10 2017. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop. paperback

Improving Health Research on Small Populations: Proceedings of a Workshop
Paperback / softback. New. The increasing diversity of population of the United States presents many challenges to conducting health research that is representative and informative. Dispersion and accessibility issues can increase logistical costs; populations for which it is difficult to obtain adequate sample size are also likely to be expensive to study. Hence even if it is technically feasible to study a small population it may not be easy to obtain the funding to do so. In order to address the issues associated with improving health research of small populations the National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine convened a workshop in January 2018. Participants considered ways of addressing the challenges of conducting epidemiological studies or intervention research with small population groups including alternative study designs innovative methodologies for data collection and innovative statistical techniques for analysis. paperback

Children's Mental Health and the Life Course Model: A Virtual Workshop Series: Proceedings of a Workshop
Paperback / softback. New. With rapidly rising rates of mental health disorders changing patterns of occurrence and increasing levels of morbidity the need for a better understanding of the developmental origins and influence of mental health on childrenaEURO TMs behavioral health outcomes has become critical. This need for better understanding extends to both the growing prevalence of mental health disorders as well as the role and impact of neurodevelopmental pathways in their onset and expression. Addressing these changes in disease patterns and effects on children and families will require a multifaceted approach that goes beyond simply making changes to clinical care or adding personnel to the health services system. New policies financing and implementation can put established best practices and numerous research findings from around the country into action. The Maternal and Child Health Life Course Intervention Research Network and the Forum for Children's Well-Being at the National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine jointly organized a webinar series to explore how mental health disorders develop over the life course with a special emphasis on prenatal early middle and later childhood development. This series centered on identifying gaps in our knowledge exploring possible new strategies for using existing data to enhance understanding of the developmental origins of mental disorders reviewing potential approaches to prevention and optimization and proposing new ways of framing how to understand address and prevent these disorders from a life course development perspective. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the series. paperback

Wind Turbine Generator Impacts to Marine Vessel Radar
Paperback / softback. New. Offshore wind energy development is poised to expand rapidly across the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf over the next decade as part of a government-wide effort to develop more renewable sources of energy. Offshore wind energy planning and development has expanded along the U.S. Atlantic Coast and to areas in the Gulf of Mexico and Pacific Coast. However the maritime community has expressed concern that wind turbine generators which are constructed predominantly of steel can interfere with radar used in navigation. A particular concern is interference with marine vessel radar which is a critical instrument for navigation collision avoidance and use in search and rescue missions with secondary uses including activities like detecting reflectors on fishing nets or birds to indicate the presence of schools of fish. Previous studies of the impacts of wind turbine generators on radar relied on data from European wind farms - however wind turbines located in or planned for the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf are larger wider and laid out in different configurations. Conducted at the request of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management this report identifies and characterizes the impacts of wind turbine generators on the efficacy of marine vessel radar on vessels operating within or near existing and planned offshore wind facilities on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf. The report recommends pursing two courses of action to reduce impacts by: 1 filling knowledge gaps through data collection modeling and analysis and focused research on wind turbine generator characteristics; and 2 pursuing practicable options to reduce interference on marine vessel radar such as enhanced operator training use of radar reflectors on small vessels use of reference buoys evaluation of radar mounting procedures new radar designs and the development of wind turbine generators with reduced radar signatures. paperback

Carman D.D. This original Progressive Era dental/medical manuscript documenting the three years of courses lectures and quizzes at the New Orleans College of Dentistry together with Dr. Carman’s visual aid Fletcherism National Mouth Hygiene Association glass plate slide lecture course provide an historically essential group documenting the advances in dentistry dental surgery and oral hygiene in the first 15 years of the 20th- Century. The New Orleans College of Dentistry was founded in 1899 by Drs. Andrew Friedrichs 1857-1921 pioneering oral surgeon and dental specialist; Dr. Louis D. Archinard 1869-1911 an excellent New Orleans dentist focused on offering medical care to the indigent and poor in New Orleans and his brother Dr. John J. Archinard 1870-1909 physician and oral surgeon who was a Spanish-American War veteran. By 1903 the New Orelans College of Dentistry had purchased and outfitted their first building at 831 Carondelet Street where they would operate until a 1908 fire gutted the building forcing the New Orleans College to affiliate and move to Tulane University. Carman 1886-1948 had studied in Houston TX and entered the New Orleans College of Dentistry in 1905 intending to study and learn the latest advances in the field of dentistry. The opening decade of the 20th-Century oversaw tremendous advances including the adapting of electric motorized drills for dentists X-Ray machines for patients awareness of the dangers of bacteria and bacteriological infections new methods of anesthesia for extraction and the revolutionary use of Vulcanized Rubber as base for artificial dentures. The “Index†or contents by Carman detail his divisions and lecture courses into Prosthetic Dentistry including extensive details on Vulcanization Vulcanizing Rubber preparing and constructing bridges and more; Pathology taught by Archinard with emphasis on hereditary diseases descriptions of inflammation assorted diseases necrosis and suppuration; followed by Anatomy - featuring anatomical manikin and original drawings by Carman; as well as Materia Medica Operative Dentistry Physiology Histology by Dr. J.J. Archinard “The Man that Cleaned up Havana Cuba 1898†chemistry metallurgy bacteriology clinical dentistry operative dentistry continued and more. He also includes the dittoed notes on histology with dittoed sections on tooth enamel nervous system tissues retina and crystlline lens and the preparation of tissues for examination with a microscope. Also included in the courses were embryology dental pathology and more. Carman has incorporated the very first test questions as well as printed examples of medical board questionnaires of States from Ohio to Oregon California and the rest of the West. Upon graduation Carman moved to Salt Lake City where he married Nina Richardson 1890-1965 daughter of the first physician in Salt Lake City and operated a successful practice for nearly 40 years out of the “Judge Building†in SLC up to his death of a heart attack in Los Angeles while on vacation. The Tulane School of Dentistry over seen by Dr. Friedrichs operated at Tulane until June 1928 emphasizing oral hygiene and continuing the original mission of providing care to the poor. Unfortunately it always teetered on the brink of financial ruin and closed in 1928. Horace Fletcher 1849-1919 was known during the Victorian and Progressive Eras as “The Great Masticator†and was a well known and influential food and health quackery specialist and author self-promoter and fanatic on his doctrine of “Fletcherism†which believed that all food had to be deliberately masticated and chewed until it turned to liquid. These glass plate slides emphasize and promote his four main advisories on chewing and swallowing but also the results of examining school children’s teeth in Andover MA indicating that nearly 60% of the children had poor or rotting teeth. Slides show the teeth of young children X-Rays of the skulls abscesses proper brushing and care of teeth with two specifically showing entire classrooms properly brushing their teeth. This cataloguer could find no similar manuscript course book or work for the NOC Dentistry in Worldcat or of the Fletcher Oral Hygiene Glass Lantern Slides; See: James Whorton Physologic Optimism: Horace Fletcher and Hygienic Ideology in Progressive America Bulletin of the History of Medicine Vol. 55 No. 1 Spring 1981 pp. 58-87; History of Dental Schools in Louisiana LSU Health New Orleans School of Dentistry 2024; Tulane University of Louisiana New Orleans College of Medicine School of Dentistry New Orleans College of Dentistry 1898-1909 Announcement for 1921-1922.
