Floridians are increasingly feeling the effects of diabetes as thousands of people suffer from the disease, and many others may have diabetes and not know it! It is estimated that one out of every three children born after 2000 in the United States will be directly affected by diabetes.

That is why the American Diabetes Association's Southwest Florida office is committed to educating the public about how to stop diabetes and support those living with the disease.

We are here to help.

American Diabetes Month, takes place each November, it's designed to focus the nation's attention on issues surrounding diabetes and the people who are impacted. This year's theme, "Eat Well, America!" can show our nation how easy and joyful healthy eating can be.

Edward Gerjouy can walk briskly on an inclined treadmill for more than half an hour without too much trouble. This wouldn't be so remarkable, but for the fact that he is 92 years old.

A study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) demonstrates that seniors like Gerjouy who can still hoof it at a relatively speedy pace have a good chance of living to an even riper old age.

When researchers at the University of Pittsburgh pooled the data from nine large studies that involved more than 34,000 seniors, they were able to correlate walking speed in people 65 or older with expected longevity.

At the beginning of each study, subjects were timed at their normal, comfortable walking pace for about 13 feet and periodically retested for up to 21 years. Anyone who could ambulate, even if they used a cane or walker, was included.

The faster an older person can walk, the longer they can expect to live and, according to the researchers, walking with some pep in your step appears to be a better predictor of who survives than simply looking at someone's age and sex.

"It's a real part of the human experience to see that when someone slows down with age, they may not be doing as well as they once were," said lead researcher Dr. Stephanie Studenski. "One of the major goals of this study was to quantify this experience for practical and clinical purposes."

Studenski notes that the act of placing one foot in front of the other requires the cooperation of many body systems including the heart, lungs, blood, bones, muscles, joints, nerves and brain -- and all of these systems synchronize, coordinate and integrate in a way that allows each individual to choose their own ideal walking speed, a speed that remains remarkably constant throughout life unless it's affected by medical issues.

For this reason, scientists consider how quickly a person walks, when correlated with age and sex, a reflection of their underlying health.

Someone like Gerjouy, for example, who at his age still strolls comfortably at about 3 miles per hour, can expect to enjoy another seven years of life. In contrast, a 75-year-old man who barely shuffles along at less than 1.0 mile per hour may not make it to his 80th birthday; and a 75-year-old woman who can keep pace with Gerjouy may look forward to celebrating another 18 birthdays.

"In fact, speed of movement seems to be linear, with each increase correlating with an increased prediction for years of life," Studenski said.

Administering a simple timed walking test could prove useful for helping doctors make more individualized healthcare recommendations. For instance, prostate cancer screening is generally considered a waste of time for men over 70 because it is widely accepted that elderly men who develop prostate cancer will most likely die of another disease or natural causes.

But if an energetic walker in his seventies can reasonably presume to live another decade in good health, he could benefit from the screening. "Functional predictions like this give doctors an opportunity to do individual life planning for healthy older people where we ought to treat them like they are going to be around for a good long time," Studenski said.

Identifying the slowpokes might help identify at-risk seniors too, so they can be targeted for interventions to help improve their health. Clinicians could even monitor speed over time as a safe and inexpensive way to red-flag slowdowns associated with developing health problems.

One caveat Studenski makes is that longevity charts are not good predictors for natural slow walkers; some healthy people simply prefer to move at a more leisurely pace.

There's little evidence to show that revving things up means living longer either, though in one previous study Studenski's team did show that people who improved walking speed over a one-year period had a better chance of survival over the following eight years compared to people who didn't speed up. And even though Studenski says there's more proof needed before it can be said that cultivating a livelier step translates to additional years, she still thinks that working on physical fitness as you age is a good idea.

"Working with your doctor, a physical therapist or some other healthcare professional to help maintain your health and your walking speed certainly can't hurt and can only help in most cases," she said.

Gerjouy jokingly attributes his good health and quick stride to a daily ration of Jell-O. Jiggly desserts aside, there are some real steps you can take to ensure you maintain mobility into your golden years. John R. Martinez a licensed physical therapist and president of Therapy Experts in New York City, offers the following tips for optimal walking.

Stay Flexible. Maintaining your flexibility, particularly in your hips, sustains your ability to move. You can stretch your hips daily by leaning forward towards your kitchen counter (usually a perfect height for this stretch) with your legs straddled a stride's distance apart. Hold for 30 seconds as you feel the stretch spread up the back of your leg into your hip. Repeat to other side.

Improve Balance. Balance is a bigger component of walking than most people realize; it's what keeps you from stumbling or tripping over your feet. For a simple daily challenge, stand on one leg while you brush your teeth. Start by hanging onto the sink with your extra hand, progress to no hands, and then to doing it with your eyes closed.

Build Endurance and Strength. As you rack up birthdays, endurance and power can diminish unless you focus on maintaining them. One way to keep up stamina is to do the very activity you are trying to preserve: Walking. This is also likely to strengthen the walking muscles too. You can mix this with lower impact endurance activities like riding a stationary bike or water exercise.

Care for Your Feet. Taking good care of your feet will ensure they remain in walk-worthy condition. Wear comfortable shoes, maintain good hygiene and visit a podiatrist periodically for a foot checkup. One easy daily foot strengthening exercise involves placing a small towel under your bare foot and scrunching it up and straightening it out with your toes. Repeat three to five times with each foot.

Lose Weight. Carrying excess weight strains your body, especially your knees, which can slow you down and prevent you from being more active. Watch your diet and do what you can to burn calories. Even a 5 percent reduction in weight can make a tremendous difference in your mobility.

Integrative Family Medicine combines the practice of conventional medicine with alternative methods that focus on treating a patients mind, body and spirit. This type of medicine puts a heavy emphasis on prevention, as it is much easier to work towards preventing health issues than it is to cure them after they have occurred.

Integrative Family Medicine is most effective for patients who are motivated in self care through lifestyle changes and are therefore looking for insight on ways to do so.Our TPCA board-certifiedphysician prefers the approach of educating and coaching patients to be involved in their own treatment often using natural remedies as much as possible.

Our Integrative Family Medicine physician is ready to discuss your lifestyle and get you on the path to holistic health today. Integrative Family Medicine is available for all age groups!

Introduction

Genetics is the branch of science that deals with how you inherit physical and behavioural characteristics including medical conditions.

Your genes are a set of instructions for the growth and development of every cell in your body. For example, they determine characteristics such as your blood group and the colour of your eyes and hair.

However, many characteristics aren't due to genes alone environment also plays an important role. For example, children may inherit 'tall genes' from their parents, but if their diet doesn't provide them with the necessary nutrients, they may not grow very tall.

Genes are packaged in bundles called chromosomes. In humans, each cell in the body contains 23 pairs of chromosomes 46 in total.

You inherit one of each pair of chromosomes from your mother and one from your father. This means there are two copies of every gene in each cell, with the exception of the sex chromosomes, X and Y.

The X and Y chromosomes determine the biological sex of a baby. Babies with a Y chromosome (XY) will be male, whereas those without a Y chromosome will be female (XX). This means that males only have one copy of each X chromosome gene, rather than two, and they have a few genes found only on the Y chromosome and play an important role in male development.

Occasionally, individuals inherit more than one sex chromosome. Females with three X chromosomes (XXX) and males with an extra Y (XYY) are normal, and most never know they have an extra chromosome. However, females with one X have a condition known as Turner syndrome, and males with an extra X have Klinefelter syndrome.

The whole set of genes is known as the genome. Humans have about 21,000 genes on their 23 chromosomes, so the human genome contains two copies of those 21,000 (except for those on X and Y in males).

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the long molecule found inside chromosomes that stores genetic information. It is tightly coiled into a double helix shape, which looks like a twisted ladder.

Each 'rung' of the ladder is made up of a combination of four chemicals adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine which are represented as the letters A, T, C and G.

These 'letters' are ordered in particular sequences within your genes and they contain the instructions to make a particular protein, in a particular cell, at a particular time. Proteins are complex chemicals that are the building blocks of the body. For example, keratin is the protein in hair and nails, while haemoglobin is the red protein in blood.

There arearound six billion letters of DNA code within each cell.

As well as determining characteristics such as eye and hair colour, your genes can also directly cause or increase your risk of a wide range of medical conditions.

Although not always the case, many of these conditions occur when a child inherits a specific altered (mutated) version of a particular gene from one or both of their parents.

Examples of conditions directly caused by genetic mutations include:

There are also many conditions that are not directly caused by genetic mutations, but can occur as the result of a combination of an inherited genetic susceptibility and environmental factors, such as a poor diet, smoking and a lack of exercise.

Read more about how genes are inherited.

Genetic testing can be used to find out whether you are carrying a particular genetic mutation that causes a medical condition.

This can be useful for a number of purposes, including diagnosing certain genetic conditions, predicting your likelihood of developing a certain condition and determining if any children you have are at risk of developing an inherited condition.

Testing usually involves taking a blood or tissue sample and analysing the DNA in your cells.

Genetic testing can also be carried to find out if a foetus is likely to be born with a certain genetic condition by extracting and testing a sample of cells from the womb.

Read more about genetic testing and counselling.

The Human Genome Project is an international scientific project that involves thousands of scientists around the world.

The initial project ran from 1990 to 2003. Its objective was to map the immense amount of genetic information found in every human cell.

As well as identifying specific human genes, the Human Genome Project has enabled scientists to gain a better understanding of how certain traits and characteristics are passed on from parents to children.

It has also led to a better understanding of the role of genetics in a number of genetic and inherited conditions.

The Sports Medicine staff will strive to provide every student-athlete with the most comprehensive, highest quality individual sports medicine health care available in a professional, efficient, compassionate and service-oriented manner.

A diversified program of prevention, evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation will assure a positive healthy recovery experience, an improved quality of life, a safe return to full athletic participation and continued athletic success.

Head athletic trainer and physical therapist Jim Russ oversees the athletic training services. The staff includes a football athlete trainer, five associate athletic trainers and nine assistant athletic trainers. The entire staff is certified by the National Athletic Trainers Association and has collectively more than 150 years of athletic training experience. Russ and his staff, along with a host of observation student athletic trainers, are responsible for the health and care of the 26 NCAA Division I sports at the University, which includes more than 750 student-athletes.

Each certified staff member is in charge of the health care of at least two varsity athletic teams. These responsibilities include covering practice and competition as well as traveling with the team as deemed appropriate. Specifically, the athletic trainer is responsible for evaluating and assessing athletic injuries, administering first aid and injury care, making medical referrals, and establishing treatments, rehabilitation and reconditioning of athletic injuries/illness. The athletic trainer also spends a significant amount of time in the education of student-athletes with respect to injury prevention, nutrition and psychological support in dealing with injuries. All staff athletic trainers are certified by the National Athletic Trainers Association and licensed by the state of Indiana.

The athletic training department is under the direct supervision of several sports medicine physicians. University physicians Dr. Jim Moriarity, Dr. Becky Moskwinski , Dr. Kevin McAward, Dr. Matt Leiszler, and Dr. Kathy Cahoon- serve as primary care physicians for health care needs of the student-athletes. Area orthopaedists Dr. Christopher Balint, Dr. Bob Clemency, Dr. Brian Ratigan, Dr. James Sieradski, and Dr. Mike Yergler oversee the orthopaedic needs for Irish athletes. Dr. Steve Simons oversees care of the track and field and cross country teams. The sports medicine department also utilizes the services of Dr. Jerry Hofferth as team chiropractor. Also available are a host of medical consultants to meet specific needs ranging from cardiology to dermatology. Dr. Moriarity, has earned honorary monograms from the Notre Dame Monogram Club.

The athletic training staff utilizes two state-of-the-art facilities to treat and rehabilitate injured athletes. The original athletic training room is located in the Joyce Center. The newest addition to the department is a 9,000-foot plus training facility in the state-of-the-art Loftus Athletics Training Facility which features new rehabilitation and treatment areas in addition to office space for staff.

There are alarming trends in professional-level injuries among youth sports participants. Orthopaedic surgeons see two trends: the number of youth injuries is reaching epidemic proportions and youth are experiencing overuse injuries at a younger and younger age. The high rate of youth sports injuries is fueled by an increase in overuse and trauma injuries and a lack of attention paid to proper injury prevention.

To address these issues, the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) and its collaborators created the STOP Sports Injuries Campaign. Learn more at StopSportsInjuries.org

The field of sports medicine is gaining in popularity and employment opportunities are expanding. The demand for Certified Athletic Trainers in particular is increasing. Certified Athletic Trainers are employed in secondary schools, colleges, universities, professional sports, hospitals, the military, law enforcement, performing arts, industry, sports medicine clinics and the durable medical equipment industry.

A career as a Certified Athletic Trainer requires a bachelor's degree at the entry level. If you're planning to attend a four-year college or university, Northampton's Sports Medicine: Athletic Training program is an affordable way to start your education. With a curriculum that parallels the first two years of most four-year programs, NCC's program can save you thousands of dollars on your undergraduate degree.

The Associate in Science degree in Sports Medicine with a concentration in Athletic Training is designed to prepare students to successfully transfer to a four year Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) accredited program. Students will also be prepared to transfer to other four year specialty programs within the realm of exercise science. In addition, students in our program develop a level of expertise in sports medicine that opens up additional employment opportunities as a personal trainer or health fitness instructor immediately upon graduation from NCC.

Students in the program learn basic skills in the prevention, emergency care, assessment, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries to prepare them to pursue certification as an athletic trainer. Sports Medicine courses include on-campus labs and observational hours in a variety of professional settings. The Sports Medicine program can be completed on a full-time or part-time basis. Students pursuing the degree on a part-time basis are highly encouraged to complete the science related courses prior to entering the program specific courses (i.e. Chemistry, Anatomy & Physiology, etc.). The program requires students to have a good knowledge base in science and math to be successful. Students are advised to speak with an academic advisor to discuss their entrance and success in the program. Program Requirements

The Sports Medicine program requires a minimum of four academic semesters to complete. Students are admitted to the program once a year (August). Admission is on a competitive basis. Applicants shall have a high school diploma or GED.

Meeting the admission requirements does not guarantee admission to the program. Primary consideration is given to those students who have Bs in program sciences. If available spaces in the program are not filled by students who have met the aforementioned standards, the College reserves the right to accept students who have, in the judgment of the College, the potential to complete the Sports Medicine program.

Students who have been accepted to the Sports Medicine program will be required to submit:

In order to be considered, you must submit an application and all transcripts by February 1 for the Fall semester start date. Applications received after that date will be reviewed on a space available basis.

She is also a fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine.

The most advanced diagnostic therapies are available, including CT and MRI testing performed in Comer Childrens. Most of the problems we encounter can be treated medically, without surgery. But when surgery is needed, our doctors can assess your childs options and collaborate with surgeons on the best approach for your child or teen. Our pediatric sports medicine specialist works closely with our expert pediatric surgical team to identify problems and resolve them.

We provide multidisciplinary care for young female athletes at every level. We have extensive expertise in treating knee ligament injuries, a common problem in teen athletes. We also specialize in diagnosing and treating the female athlete triad, which involves disordered eating, menstrual irregularities, and stress fractures.
