Six students from the 36-person 免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge High School iGEM (International Genetically-engineered Machines) team made their first trip to the Indianapolis, IN contest as the only Canadian contingent, and presented their take on how to use an innovative, implantable capsule (developed by NASA Space Biosciences to release medication in space) to manage the release of insulin for people with Type 1 Diabetes.<br /><br /> The group plans to engineer a bacteria that will secrete insulin in response to a person&#39;s glucose levels, then house it in the NASA biocapsule (so it is contained and not flowing freely in the bloodstream) where it will safely dispense insulin and could reduce the need for the continuous monitoring, injections and other challenges currently experienced by the hundreds of millions of people worldwide affected by diabetes.<br /><br /> Bold? Absolutely. Can it be done? That&#39;s what the group intends to find out.<br /><br /> That&#39;s why the U of L is rewarding them with scholarships &ndash; to help them pursue their interest in science and research at the U of L. The $1,000 scholarship credit per student covers the cost of about two courses, and is available upon their successful application and acceptance to the 免费福利资源在线看片.</p><p>The students will be presented with their awards at a brief ceremony that takes place Wednesday, July 11 beginning at 4 p.m. in Anderson Hall, room AH100 ( Andy&#39;s Place).</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-group-format group_related_topics field-group-div group-related-topics block-title-body speed-fast effect-none"><h2><span>Related Topics</span></h2><div class="field field-name-opencalais-city-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">City:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/city/indianapolis" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Indianapolis</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-company-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Company:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/company/nasa-space-biosciences" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">NASA Space Biosciences</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-facility-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Facility:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/facility/anderson-hall" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Anderson Hall</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/facility/university-lethbridge-high-school-igem" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge High School iGEM</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/facility/university-lethbridge" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-medicalconditio-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">MedicalCondition:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/medical-condition/diabetes" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">diabetes</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-musicgroup-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">MusicGroup:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/music-group/lethbridge" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Lethbridge</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-organization-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Organization:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/organization/university-lethbridge-high-school-igem" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge High School iGEM</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/organization/national-aeronautics-and-space-administration" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">National Aeronautics and Space Administration</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/organization/university-lethbridge" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge</a></div></div></div></div><span property="rnews:name schema:name" content="High school iGEM group to be recognized" class="rdf-meta"></span> Wed, 11 Jul 2012 17:59:16 +0000 trevor.kenney 3681 at /unews Learning the truth about heart disease /unews/article/learning-truth-about-heart-disease <div class="field field-name-field-op-author field-type-node-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" rel="rnews:creator schema:creator"><div class="view view-openpublish-related-content view-id-openpublish_related_content view-display-id-block_1 view-dom-id-9437bf6028988648e3304533aa0dfffa"> <div class="view-content"> <div class="views-row views-row-1 views-row-odd views-row-first views-row-last"> <div class="views-field views-field-title"> <span class="views-label views-label-title">by</span> <span class="field-content"><a href="/unews/profile/trevor-kenney">Trevor Kenney</a></span> </div> <div class="views-field views-field-created"> <span class="field-content">February 21, 2012</span> </div> </div> </div> </div></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item even" property="rnews:articlebody schema:articleBody"> <p><strong>By SUZANNE MCINTOSH</strong><br> <br> Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for women in Canada and the United States.<br> <br> The various forms of heart disease include coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, heart failure and heart attacks. Heart disease accounts for 35,000 deaths per year among women in Canada, and of these deaths, 54 per cent were due to ischemic heart disease, 20 per cent due to stroke, and 23 per cent due to myocardial infarction (heart attacks).<br> <br> These are sobering statistics that deserve our attention.<br> <br> So, exactly what is heart disease?<br> <br> Your heart is a muscle that gets energy from blood carrying oxygen and nutrients. Having a constant supply of blood keeps your heart working properly. Most people think of heart disease as one condition. In fact, heart disease is a group of conditions affecting the structure and functions of the heart and has many root causes.<br> <br> The positive is that heart disease is both preventable and manageable. While you cannot control your age, gender, ethnicity and family history, risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, stress, excessive alcohol consumption, physical inactivity and being overweight are all readily modifiable.<br> <br> For more information on women and heart disease, visit <a href="http://www.heartandstroke.ca">www.heartandstroke.ca</a> and <a href="http://www.myhealthcheckup.com" rel="nofollow">www.myhealthcheckup.com</a> or call Building Healthy Lifestyles at 403-388-6675.<br> <br> If you'd like to find out more about your risk of heart disease, register for this semester's Health Check for U session, a 15-minute confidential free screening program. It includes cholesterol and blood sugar level checks, blood pressure, height, weight and waist circumference measurements and a follow-up consultation.<br> <br> Check out your heart's age &ndash; take charge of your health and put your Heart into it! To register send an e-mail to <a href="mailto:wellness@uleth.ca" rel="nofollow">wellness@uleth.ca</a>. Past participants are welcome to come back for a second or third screening to see if there have been any changes.<br> <br> In other Wellness news, mini-massages are available through March, as provided by Lethbridge College Massage Therapy students. Drop in for a 10 to 15 minute massage or register at <a href="mailto:wellness@uleth.ca" rel="nofollow">wellness@uleth.ca</a>. The next session is Feb. 27, 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. in AH117.<br> <br> The February Wellness Lunch and Learn session is Thursday, Feb. 16 at 12:05 p.m. in AH100. 3 Secrets to Stress Management will feature a presentation from chiropractor Dr. Pierre Gaulin.<br> <br> <em>Suzanne McIntosh is the 免费福利资源在线看片's wellness co-ordinator.

healthy foods," says Premier Ed Stelmach. "Through the annual Alberta Food for Health Awards, we are able to bring attention to the healthy and delicious home-grown choices made available to Albertans by Albertans."</p> <p>Przybylski was awarded for healthy food and nutrition research. Other award recipients include: the Spring Creek Ranch for healthy Alberta food sold through a retail outlet; the Seniors' Association of Greater Edmonton (SAGE) for healthy Alberta food sold through food service; Gordon's Homemade Sausage for healthy Alberta food for specialty diets.</p> <p>Przybylski was selected as the Healthy Alberta food and nutrition researcher for contributing to leading edge research in the development of Omega-9 canola oil; a high-quality frying oil suitable for the same uses as traditional oils. The conversion of Omega-9 canola oil from hydrogenated oil helps to remove unhealthy trans and saturated fats from the North American diet. Providing this alternative can positively impact health problems such as heart disease, obesity and diabetes.</p> <p>Przybylski's research is helping to improve Alberta's food oil industry's processing and preparation practices while improving nutrition. Finalists in the award program had their products consumer taste-tested at Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development's consumer testing centre in Edmonton. The winners receive $10,000 each to promote their products or invest in future business growth and research.</p> <p>Alberta Health and Wellness, Advanced Education and Technology, Agriculture and Rural Development, Alberta Innovates Bio Solution and Alberta<br> Innovates Health Solutions jointly manage the Alberta Food for Health Awards program.</p> <p>The awards were developed to encourage food producers and researchers in the province to develop and research healthy food choices.

the program runs through June 13.</p> <p>The idea is to walk, run, swim, cycle or just be active. Just over a week old, this year's challenge is already off to a great start. One of the twists this time around was the introduction of a Name Your Team contest. Following are some of the best names of the bunch: Anderson Walkers; Bookin' It; Bookmobiles!; Dust Bunny Wranglers; Gong Show; Health Science Heelers; I Can Do Bad All By Myself; KYA; Mahon Tracker; Registrollers; The Wonderous Wellness Walkers; Victorious Secret presents the Markin Chix in Risky Business; Walker's Walkers; WebGeeks.</p> <p>The goal of the challenge is to promote an increase in activity and improve health through walking, running, swimming, cycling or other physical activity. Establishing a lifelong habit of physical activity doesn't just happen automatically. Making movement a part of everyday life is an intentional act. Let's make the conscious decision to be active everyday &ndash; but have fun while doing so!</p> <p>How do you record your activity?</p> <p><strong>Walking/Running</strong> &ndash; Each step you take all day, every day counts. You can either record your distance or your steps. Prizes will be awarded for both.<br> <strong>Swimming</strong> &ndash; Each 50-metre lap you swim is counted.<br> <strong>Cycling</strong> &ndash; Cycling is measured either in time cycled or kilometres cycled. You can record one or the other. Again, prizes will be awarded for both.</p> <p>Time spent performing another physical activity includes examples such as lifting weights, yoga, pilates or hiking, just to name a few.</p> <p>You can enter your steps, laps, km or minutes weekly or daily on the Bee Heart Smart website (<a href="https://www.uleth.ca/hum/wellness/walking/" rel="nofollow">https://www.uleth.ca/hum/wellness/walking/</a>).</p> <p>If you haven't entered yet, you can enter or join a team at any time during the challenge. Enter as a team or an individual &ndash; the Bee Heart Smart site is open now on the Wellness website and Notice Board.</p> <p>The Anderson Walkers (Katharine Winter, Cindy Matheson and Joyce Eves) are the Early Bird winners for this year (registrants who entered prior to April 21).<br> <br> We also have some Busy Bee Champions to help keep us motivated. Look for entries from President Mike Mahon (the Mahon Trackers), Vice-President Finance Nancy Walker (Walkers' Walkers), and Kevin McFadzen (KYA) from Sport and Recreation Services (just try to beat his cycling minutes).</p> <p>Also new to the challenge this year are weekly contests. They are as follows.</p> <p>Week 2 (May 8-14) &ndash; Take the Stairs!<br> Week 3 (May 15-21) &ndash; Walk in the Great Outdoors, with presentations and walks led by the Helen Schuler Nature Centre<br> Week 4 (May 22-28) &ndash; Nutrition for Physical Activity<br> Week 5 (May 29 to June 4) &ndash; Fitness Funnies Contest<br> Week 6 (June 5-13) &ndash; Walk in to Work Out, Park and Walk</p> <p>The U of L Bookstore, Sport and Recreation Services and AUPE donate prizes for the Bee Heart Smart Challenge. Thanks also to the U of L Wellness Committee.</p> <p><strong> Quick Facts about physical activity:</strong></p> <p>&bull; A 30-minute walk burns about 150 calories. If you walked every day for six months, you'd burn off five pounds.</p> <p>&bull; Physical activity causes the body to use up glucose, thereby helping to keep blood sugar levels in a normal range. This explains why regular exercise is so critical, not only in preventing diabetes, but also in enhancing the health of people already living with the disorder.</p> <p>&bull; Regular physical activity helps control weight, reduces body fat, improves the body's response to insulin and strengthens the heart, making it one of the best things you can do to support your health.</p> <p>&bull; With so much time being spent on the job, practicing healthy habits in the workplace has become just as vital to overall health and well-being as living well at home. In order to keep moving on the job, get up to walk and stretch every 20 minutes. Physical activity stimulates blood flow, relaxes muscles and reduces stress.</p> <p>I hope to see you keeping your heart healthy this year&hellip;and having fun while doing so!</p> <p><em>Suzanne McIntosh is the Wellness co-ordinator for the 免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge</em></p> <p><em><strong>This story first appeared in the Legend.

Prizes will be awarded for both.<br> <strong>Swimming</strong> &ndash; Each 50-metre lap you swim is counted.<br> <strong>Cycling</strong> &ndash; Cycling is measured either in time cycled or kilometres cycled. You can record one or the other. Again, prizes will be awarded for both.</p> <p>Time spent performing another physical activity includes examples such as lifting weights, yoga, pilates or hiking, just to name a few.</p> <p>You can enter your steps, laps, km or minutes weekly or daily on the Bee Heart Smart website (<a href="https://www.uleth.ca/hum/wellness/walking/" rel="nofollow">https://www.uleth.ca/hum/wellness/walking/</a>).</p> <p>If you haven't entered yet, you can enter or join a team at any time during the challenge. Enter as a team or an individual &ndash; the Bee Heart Smart site is open now on the Wellness website and Notice Board.</p> <p>The Anderson Walkers (Katharine Winter, Cindy Matheson and Joyce Eves) are the Early Bird winners for this year (registrants who entered prior to April 21).<br> <br> We also have some Busy Bee Champions to help keep us motivated. Look for entries from President Mike Mahon (the Mahon Trackers), Vice-President Finance Nancy Walker (Walkers' Walkers), and Kevin McFadzen (KYA) from Sport and Recreation Services (just try to beat his cycling minutes).</p> <p>Also new to the challenge this year are weekly contests. They are as follows.</p> <p>Week 2 (May 8-14) &ndash; Take the Stairs!<br> Week 3 (May 15-21) &ndash; Walk in the Great Outdoors, with presentations and walks led by the Helen Schuler Nature Centre<br> Week 4 (May 22-28) &ndash; Nutrition for Physical Activity<br> Week 5 (May 29 to June 4) &ndash; Fitness Funnies Contest<br> Week 6 (June 5-13) &ndash; Walk in to Work Out, Park and Walk</p> <p>The U of L Bookstore, Sport and Recreation Services and AUPE donate prizes for the Bee Heart Smart Challenge. Thanks also to the U of L Wellness Committee.</p> <p><strong> Quick Facts about physical activity:</strong></p> <p>&bull; A 30-minute walk burns about 150 calories. If you walked every day for six months, you'd burn off five pounds.</p> <p>&bull; Physical activity causes the body to use up glucose, thereby helping to keep blood sugar levels in a normal range. This explains why regular exercise is so critical, not only in preventing diabetes, but also in enhancing the health of people already living with the disorder.</p> <p>&bull; Regular physical activity helps control weight, reduces body fat, improves the body's response to insulin and strengthens the heart, making it one of the best things you can do to support your health.</p> <p>&bull; With so much time being spent on the job, practicing healthy habits in the workplace has become just as vital to overall health and well-being as living well at home. In order to keep moving on the job, get up to walk and stretch every 20 minutes. Physical activity stimulates blood flow, relaxes muscles and reduces stress.</p> <p>I hope to see you keeping your heart healthy this year&hellip;and having fun while doing so!</p> <p><em>Suzanne

Do you have any idea how healthy you really are, or do you just wait until something's wrong?</p> <p>We've got a new program for students, staff and faculty at the U of L called, Health Check for U. Health Screening is one way to increase your knowledge and, if necessary, get some tips on how to make small changes to improve or maintain your health.</p> <p>The program is in two parts, with the levels detailed below:</p> <p><strong>Health Check for U - Level I<br> Fasting Cholesterol Testing</strong></p> <p>It's important to know your cholesterol numbers. The Vascular Risk Assessment group will be offering a mobile testing clinic that is available to any 免费福利资源在线看片 department to provide a short cholesterol information session and then test cholesterol and blood glucose levels. The information session takes 30 minutes, with each individual health check taking 10 minutes. For a total of 40 minutes, you can invest in your health.</p> <p><strong>Health Check for U - Level II<br> Vascular Risk Screening</strong></p> <p>This very important program gives you an idea of your vascular risk. It will test your blood pressure and relate it to your weight, height and waist circumference. A fasting lipid and glucose profile will then be developed using a Cholestech machine. The data is then entered into the CV Health Manager, giving you a printout that details your 10-year cardiovascular risk.</p> <p>The program also includes a one-on-one follow-up education and nutritional information session.</p> <p>Again, a small time commitment will yield valuable information and help you make smart health choices down the road. The actual screening takes just 15 minutes, followed by the 30-minute follow-up session the next day.</p> <p>Contact wellness co-ordinator Suzanne McIntosh (<a href="mailto:suzanne.mcintosh@uleth.ca" rel="nofollow">suzanne.mcintosh@uleth.ca</a>, <a href="mailto:wellness@uleth.ca" rel="nofollow">wellness@uleth.ca</a>, 403-332-5217) to schedule a Health Check for U Level I or II session or if you would like more information.</p> <p>How important is it to take control of your own health? Read this excerpt from an article in the latest Building Healthy Lifestyles newsletter.</p> <p>February is heart month and since heart disease is the leading cause of death for Canadians, now is a good time to take a look at some facts about heart health.</p> <p>Most people think of heart disease as one condition. But in fact, heart disease is a group of conditions affecting the structure and functions of the heart, and has many root causes. Coronary artery disease, for example, develops when a combination of fatty materials, calcium and scar tissue (called plaque) builds up in the arteries that supply blood to your heart (coronary arteries). The plaque buildup narrows the arteries and prevents the heart from getting enough blood.</p> <p>You can prevent and manage heart disease in large part by controlling the known risk factors that could lead to it. These risk factors include smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, mismanaged stress, physical inactivity and being overweight.</p> <p>It is important to know and take control of your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels, to reduce and manage stress, and to follow up with your doctor regularly and listen to their advice.</p> <p>For more on heart health tips and strategies, visit <a href="http://www.heartandstroke.ab.ca" rel="nofollow">www.heartandstroke.ab.ca</a>.</p> <p><em>Suzanne McIntosh is the 免费福利资源在线看片's wellness co-orindator</em></p> <p><em><strong>For a look at the February issue of the Legend in a flipbook format, follow this <a href="http://issuu.com/ulethbridge/docs/thelegend_1006_february2011.pdf" rel="nofollow">link</a>.</strong></em></p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-group-format group_related_topics field-group-div group-related-topics block-title-body speed-fast effect-none"><h2><span>Related Topics</span></h2><div class="field field-name-opencalais-medicalconditio-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">MedicalCondition:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/medical-condition/scar" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">scar</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/medical-condition/high-blood-pressure" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">high blood pressure</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/medical-condition/high-cholesterol" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">high cholesterol</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/medical-condition/heart-disease" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">heart disease</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/medical-condition/diabetes" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">diabetes</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/medical-condition/coronary-artery-disease" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">coronary artery disease</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-person-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Person:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/person/suzanne-mcintosh" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">SUZANNE MCINTOSH</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-phonenumber-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">PhoneNumber:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/phone-number/403-332-5217" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">403-332-5217</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-position-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Position:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/position/health-manager" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Health Manager</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-url-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">URL:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/url/wwwheartandstrokeabca" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">www.heartandstroke.ab.ca</a></div></div></div></div><span property="rnews:name schema:name" content="New program tests health levels" class="rdf-meta"></span> Thu, 24 Feb 2011 23:09:37 +0000 trevor.kenney 4080 at /unews Community care /unews/article/community-care <div class="field field-name-field-op-author field-type-node-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" rel="rnews:creator schema:creator"><div class="view view-openpublish-related-content view-id-openpublish_related_content view-display-id-block_1 view-dom-id-b8035fbf0ce3b4809fd5435db04db7e6"> <div class="view-content"> <div class="views-row views-row-1 views-row-odd views-row-first views-row-last"> <div class="views-field views-field-title"> <span class="views-label views-label-title">by</span> <span class="field-content"><a href="/unews/profile/trevor-kenney">Trevor Kenney</a></span> </div> <div class="views-field views-field-created"> <span class="field-content">January 25, 2011</span> </div> </div> </div> </div></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item even" property="rnews:articlebody schema:articleBody"> <p>They are former airline pilots, Olympic athletes, police recruits and liquor store managers. They&#39;ve earned degrees ranging from kinesiology to biology, psychology and more, and yet they all have one thing in common &ndash; they&#39;re back at university to become nurses.</p><p>The 免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge&#39;s <a href="http://www.uleth.ca/healthsciences/bnad" rel="nofollow">Bachelor of Nursing After Degree</a> (BNAD) program attracts a diverse array of students, but the goal they share is the same &ndash; to contribute to the community by caring for its people.</p><p>&quot;When the U of L introduced the BNAD program, it was perfect for me because I looked at it as an opportunity to invest two years and then get back to helping people,&quot; says 31-year-old Justin Gatner, a <a href="http://www.uleth.ca/fas/psy" rel="nofollow">psychology</a> grad who was managing a liquor store before he came back to the U of L.</p><p><div class="image-caption-container" style="width:500px;"><img alt="Sarah Calnan" src="/unews/sites/default/files/main/articles/bnad.jpg" title="BNAD student, Sarah Calnan, works with a resident of Martha&amp;#039;s House during a free clinic offered by the U of L program."><div class="image-caption">BNAD student, Sarah Calnan, works with a resident of Martha&#039;s House during a free clinic offered by the U of L program.</div></div></p><p>The Monarch, Alta. native was on a path to become a police officer, having also earned his criminal justice diploma from <a href="http://www.lethbridgecollege.ca/" rel="nofollow">Lethbridge College</a>, before a broken leg dashed his hopes of passing the physical requirements for the job.</p><p>&quot;I reassessed my world and started looking around at other careers where I could still help people,&quot; says Gatner. &quot;Some of the options included were fire fighting and working as an EMT, but nursing was also a part of that.&quot;</p><p>The BNAD program has many similar stories, graduate students who have acquired experience by being out in the workforce, and then turned their focus to nursing. One of the faculty members helping them achieve their goal is Em Pijl-Zieber, who, like her students, found community nursing after having taken a different path.</p><p>A registered nurse who previously worked in advanced practice, Pijl-Zieber never saw herself working in a community-nursing role, and as for teaching, she jokingly calls herself the &quot;accidental professor&quot;.</p><p>&quot;I never wanted to teach and yet I&#39;ve found that it&#39;s really a lot of fun,&quot; says Pijl-Zieber, a Vancouver native who followed her husband and fellow faculty member, Mark, to Alberta. &quot;To inspire students to greatness is always my hope. I want them to get passionate about something.&quot;</p><p>With Pijl-Zieber, students are able to take knowledge learned in the classroom into community settings. They now provide a unique level of care to homeless and marginalized populations, as well as seniors in assisted living residences.</p><p>One of the initiatives in which they are involved is a foot-care program that Pijl-Zieber began three years ago.</p><p>The program initially had her students involved with homeless persons utilizing Streets Alive, and has grown to where her students now participate in Project Homeless Connect, are active in visiting long-term care facilities in both Lethbridge and Coaldale, and will set up outpatient clinics for drop-in foot-care services.</p><p>&quot;The work that students do during this course is often not bedside nursing, as much as it is program planning and population health promotion,&quot; says Pijl-Zieber. &quot;By doing the foot-care clinics, students can have that interaction with members of the population. They like it because they can practice one-to-one care, something that&#39;s hands-on and practical. It&#39;s why they went into nursing in the first place &ndash; to do real things with real people.&quot;</p><p>Foot care is a real concern for homeless and marginalized populations. They generally have little access to health services, are constantly on their feet with inadequate footwear and may suffer from aggravating health concerns such as diabetes. Frostbite, ingrown toenails and other problems, if left untreated, can lead to amputations.</p><p>&quot;Who else is going to look after their feet? Our goal is to be able to do a proper assessment and then to provide foot care so that hopefully they can keep their limbs attached,&quot; she says.</p><p>This past year, the foot-care program took her group into Martha&#39;s House seniors&#39; residence.</p><p>&quot;I&#39;ve been very pleasantly surprised with what they&#39;ve brought to us,&quot; says registered nurse Elda Barva, Martha&#39;s House administrator and the previous director of care at St. Michael&#39;s Hospital. &quot;They are very motivated, they have some life experience behind them and they&#39;ve come in here and taken this place by storm.&quot;</p><p>More than simply providing foot care clinics, the students created an entire health-care program for the facility, breaking off into four groups (health promotion, injury prevention, illness prevention and health maintenance) of focus.</p><p>&quot;Em is phenomenal in creating a bunch of opportunities that we never really expected,&quot; says Sarah Calnan, a <a href="http://www.uleth.ca/fas/bio/" rel="nofollow">biology</a> grad in her second year of BNAD.<br /> &quot;Our goal when we came here was to ensure that what we were doing was sustainable to the seniors in the future. We&#39;re hoping that everything each of our groups has worked towards, they can continue to do after we leave.&quot;</p><p>Calnan worked with the health maintenance group that created a health resource manual and facilitated a &quot;Puzzled About Pills&quot; seminar in which they helped seniors understand how to best manage the many medications they use.</p><p>Vicki Hughes, a <a href="http://www.uleth.ca/fas/knes/" rel="nofollow">kinesiology</a> graduate, worked with the health promotion group. Their focus was to help seniors better utilize the exercise room, educate about fall prevention strategies and help implement a program designed around the new vibration wave machine that promotes better balance, strength and circulation.</p><p>&quot;The main thing for me with this experience is that it has really prepared me for nursing in terms of improving my communication skills,&quot; says Hughes. &quot;We came in here to assess their needs, and working with them and empowering them has been wonderful.&quot;</p><p>The BNAD program doesn&#39;t just teach nursing, it promotes the basic tenets of care and contributing to the betterment of a community.</p><p>&quot;When we are given these kinds of opportunities to come and work with these people, we&#39;re basically practising that community element of nursing,&quot; says Gatner. &quot;When you work with the nursing program inside the community rotation, it gets you out the front door and into the world, helping people. That&#39;s always what I&#39;ve wanted to do.&quot;</p><p><em>This story first appeared in the Legend.

I know everyone is looking forward to the break at Christmas, and an opportunity to rejuvenate by reconnecting with family and friends.</p> <p>Last year at this time, we talked about taking small steps to make changes towards your own health and wellness. Hopefully you have had the chance to do that throughout the year.</p> <p>When you take care of yourself, it shows, and you then have more energy to take care of those around you. You only have one body, so it's important to put into place some checks to make sure you are taking care of you. Now is a good time to check your health and wellness action plan and get a jump-start on any 2011 resolutions.</p> <p><strong>Increase Physical Activity</strong></p> <p>Recent research shows that people who sit for long periods of time are prone to higher rates of diabetes, obesity, heart disease and mortality. Why not try the 'Get Fit at Work' program &ndash; a series of stretching and strengthening exercises designed specifically for you, to try throughout your day?</p> <p>Incorporating small bouts of physical activity into your daily routine is another way of increasing physical activity. Simple things, like parking at the furthest end of the parking lot, taking the stairs instead of the elevator and turning a coffee break into a walking break by walking around campus instead of sitting for that coffee.</p> <p><strong>Healthy Choices</strong></p> <p>Treat your body well by limiting your intake of sugar, tobacco and alcohol. Eat lots of fruits, veggies and whole grains.</p> <p><strong>Mental Fitness</strong></p> <p>Keep challenging yourself to keep your mind sharp. Try different puzzles and games, or sign up for a course &ndash; something new to challenge your mind.</p> <p><strong>Positive Thinking</strong></p> <p>Try to remember the bright side. If you focus on your personal strengths, such as experience, sense of humour and unique abilities, your outlook will be much brighter.</p> <p><strong>Connect with Others</strong></p> <p>A network of supportive people helps to keep your heart happy. Are your family and friends far away? Try volunteering or giving some of your time &ndash; this keeps the focus off of you and gets you thinking of others. Practising random acts of kindness is another activity that can really enhance the way you feel.</p> <p>Give yourself the gift of health and wellness this holiday season, one small step at a time. Check back in February for our Vascular Risk screening event, as well as Winter Walk Day. We also have a variety of interesting subjects lined up for our Spring Semester Lunch and Learn sessions, including: Laughter Fitness, Stress Busters and Beyond, Terrasol Body Talk (postponed from this fall) and Spice up your diet (with dietitian Diane Britton).</p> <p><em>Suzanne McIntosh is the 免费福利资源在线看片's co-ordinator of Wellness Programs</p> <p></em><em>For a look at the full issue of the December Legend in a flipbook format, follow this </em><a href="http://issuu.com/ulethbridge/docs/thelegend_december2010" rel="nofollow"><em>link</em></a><em>.</em><em><br> </em></p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-group-format group_related_topics field-group-div group-related-topics block-title-body speed-fast effect-none"><h2><span>Related Topics</span></h2><div class="field field-name-opencalais-holiday-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Holiday:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/holiday/christmas" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Christmas</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-industryterm-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">IndustryTerm:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/industry-term/energy" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">energy</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-medicalconditio-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">MedicalCondition:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/medical-condition/obesity" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">obesity</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/medical-condition/heart-disease" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">heart disease</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/medical-condition/diabetes" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">diabetes</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-person-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Person:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/person/suzanne-mcintosh" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">SUZANNE MCINTOSH</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/person/diane-britton" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">DIANE BRITTON</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-position-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Position:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/position/dietitian" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Dietitian</a></div></div></div></div><span property="rnews:name schema:name" content="Striking a Balance" class="rdf-meta"></span> Thu, 16 Dec 2010 17:25:49 +0000 trevor.kenney 4149 at /unews
