Viewers Kati Lucas and Kimberly Horton are joining 3News Meteorologist Jason Frazer on a healthy living journey with Cleveland Clinic's Wellness Center

The Coronavirus pandemic has brought many challenges, and if it's also taken a toll on your physical and mental health, you're definitely not alone.

That's why 3News is launching a new series "The New You" with Jason Frazer and Cleveland Clinic's Wellness Center. And we're inviting two special 3News viewers along for the journey.

Meet Kati Lucas. She's a busy mom of three in her late forties, who also works as a nurse.

"I'm just busy, busy, busy bee running around and dealing with [everything] and then I come last. Then by the time I realize I need to take care of me, I'm dead tired," Kati said.

That's a feeling Kim Horton can relate to. She's in her early sixties, retired for the last few years, but mom to two grown kids and proud grandma to her first grandson. She told us, she's ready to make a change.

"At some point in your life, you got to say it's time out for fear and those things that keep you from moving forward, and maybe this is going to help me move forward."

Kati and Kim both told us the pandemic has brought additional challenges to lifelong struggles with their weight.

"This year's just been challenging on many fronts for me personally and I want to feel better. I'm sick and tired of feeling sick and tired," said Kati.

These are smart successful women. They're active too. Kim told 3News she's always been athletic.

"I consider myself still an athlete [and] my husband and I play tennis at least two or three times a week," she said.

They also are well aware of the importance of making healthy choices.

"[As a nurse] I understand how obesity can lead to inflammation and inflammation can lead to disease and so forth," said Kati.

Yet, like so many of us, both Kati and Kim have struggled to make a lifestyle change until now. That's where Cleveland Clinic's Wellness Center comes in.

"In the center of integrative and lifestyle medicine we try to address not just physical pain or physical symptoms but also look at emotional health," said Dr. Irina Todorov, Interim Medical Director for the Center of Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine.

Over the next eight weeks, Jason, Kati and Kim will have an opportunity to work with the Center to take a mind, body and spirit approach to healthier living.

"The goal of the program is to learn lifelong habits. The first week may be a nutrition consult, the second week will be massage therapy, the third week will be acupuncture, [for example], she said.

"I'm humble enough to admit that I need help...I saw this as a perfect opportunity to to just get my butt ingear and just reclaim a sense of agency about myself," Kati told us.

"Sometimes doggone it, you got to be selfish," laughed Kim. "And just say this is what I have to do for me."

They're ready to go, and we hope you'll follow along too.

You might have missed it, but last week the UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock said that his government was recommending vitamin D supplements as a protective measure against the coronavirus.

But most of the attention focused on Mr Hancocks stumbling around on the issue. One moment he dismissed vitamin Ds usefulness, saying there was no good evidence as to its efficacy.

The next he was touting it as a must-take prophylactic because the evidence was pretty good, after all.

Theres certainly been a fair bit of faffing about on the issue.

A letter published three weeks ago in the British Medical Journal from an Australian doctor tells the story; more than 30 studies have demonstrated that having optimal blood levels of (vitamin D) reduces COVID-19 risks: reduced risk of infection; reduced risk of severe disease; reduced risk of dying.

The doctor, Peter J Lewis, a NSW GP with a special interest in integrative medicine, noted that Many researchers now regard the evidence as overwhelming.

Despite this, there still will be those who say that we need more research, but in the meantime, there is little to be lost and a huge amount to gain by recommending a decent daily dose of vitamin D3 for children and adults.

A comment piece published in Lancet in August made the same point while laying out the long history of vitamin Ds perceived potential as a treatment for respiratory illness. It goes back nearly 90 years.

In a study based at the Hospital Universitario Marqus de Valdecilla, 216 COVID-19 patients had their vitamin D levels measured. More than 80 per cent were found to have a vitamin D deficiency.

On average, men had lower vitamin D levels than women.

OK, one might argue, in the age of sunlight-phobia, that plenty of people are vitamin D deficient. Wheres the comparison with the broader population?

There wasnt one but, the doctors found that the patients with lower vitamin D levels also had raised serum levels of inflammatory markers such as ferritin and D-dimer.

Inflammation being the destructive hallmark of COVID-19, manifesting itself from the tip of the toes, to the lining of the blood vessels, the lungs and deep inside the brain.

Study co-author Dr Jos L. Hernndez, of the University of Cantabria, observed: Vitamin D is a hormone the kidneys produce that controls blood calcium concentration and impacts the immune system.

Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to a variety of health concerns, although research is still under way into why the hormone impacts other systems of the body. Many studies point to the beneficial effect of vitamin D on the immune system, especially regarding protection against infections.

He concludes:Vitamin D treatment should be recommended in COVID-19 patients with low levels of vitamin D circulating in the blood since this approach might have beneficial effects in both the musculoskeletal and the immune system.

He notes that supplements are especially important for high-risk individuals such as the elderly, patients with comorbidities, and nursing home residents, who are the main target population for the COVID-19.

For a technical explanation as to why vitamin D might work against COVID-19, see here.

AUSTIN, Texas Construction workers have a much higher risk of becoming hospitalized with the novel coronavirus than non-construction workers, according to a new study from researchers with The University of Texas at Austin COVID-19 Modeling Consortium.

Analyzing data from mid-March to mid-August on hospitalizations in Austin, Texas, the researchers found that construction workers there were five times as likely to be hospitalized with the coronavirus as workers in other occupations. The finding closely matches forecasts the team made in April.

The current study is, to the authors knowledge, the first to compare COVID-19 hospitalizations of construction workers to non-construction workers.An earlier study by the CDCreported that the construction sector was ranked number two in frequency of workplace outbreaks in Utah.

According to the researchers, the higher vulnerability for construction workers probably stems from the continuation of construction work throughout the pandemic, even during stay-home orders and other community-wide mitigation measures. The nature of the work exacerbated the risks due to close contact with others, practices by employers and demographic factors.

It doesnt necessarily mean we need to stop construction work, said Lauren Ancel Meyers, a professor of integrative biology and director of the consortium. It means we need to go to great lengths to ensure the health and safety of workers when they do go to work.

Encouraging basic precautions such as mask wearing and physical distancing on the work site would help, the authors note, as would having governments or employers offer workers paid sick leave and other incentives to stay home when they have a known exposure or have mild symptoms, to help mitigate risk. In addition, regular work site-based surveillance COVID-19 testing (with effective tracing and isolation of detected cases) can help prevent spread.

In central Texas, construction workers are disproportionately Hispanic, and many of them are uninsured or in close contact with people who have limited access to health care. Compared with the general population, they also experience more underlying health conditions linked to severe cases of COVID-19, are more likely to have more people in the home and may feel pressured to work even when they dont feel well due to socioeconomic pressures.

In Texas, COVID-19 has disproportionately affected Hispanics, who account for about 40% of the states population but 56% of its COVID-19 fatalities, according to the latest data from the Texas Department of State Health Services.

These workers face many overlapping risks and are being exposed at a time when less vulnerable populations are able to stay home, Meyers said.

Across the U.S., construction workers are disproportionately Hispanic: 17.6% of all workers are Hispanic or Latino, yet 30% of construction workers are Hispanic or Latino, according to theU.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The studys other authors are Remy Pasco, graduate student in the Meyers lab; Spencer Fox, the consortiums associate director; Clay Johnston, dean of the Dell Medical School and vice president of medical affairs at UT Austin; and Michael Pignone, chair of the Department of Internal Medicine and interim chair of the Department of Population Health at Dell Med.

The results are published in the peer-reviewed journal JAMA Network Open, a subsidiary of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

In their earlier study delivered in the spring, at the request of the City of Austin, the team analyzed the risks of allowing construction work to continue during the pandemic. (On March 31, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott declared all construction essential and permissible statewide, overriding earlier local restrictions.) At the time, the team projected that construction workers would have a 4 to 5 times higher rate of hospitalization than non-construction workers a prediction the new paper bears out.

From mid-March to mid-August, the elevated risk of COVID hospitalization among construction workers matched our model predictions almost to a T, Pasco said. The rise in COVID-19 hospitalizations among construction workers suggest that the virus has been spreading at work sites, and more should be done to protect the health and safety of the workers.

Their model also predicted that continued construction work would increase the rates of hospitalizations among the general public because of increased transmission from construction workers, but with current levels of contact tracing, that is much harder to measure and validate, Meyers noted.

This study was supported, in part, by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health.

Melissa Young, MD, is a specialist in integrative medicine at the renowned Cleveland Clinic in the USA. In a recent article at the clinic, the migraine expert explains what people with chronic migraine can do to reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks without having to take medication for it.

Migraine sufferers are often struck by a debilitating pain that often forces them to retreat to a dark room and wait for the pain to subside. A specialist will present non-drug options to reduce the frequency and intensity of these attacks.

To escape the pain, migraine sufferers often resort to painkillers such as ibuprofen or prescription drugs. However, according to Dr. Young, this is not always necessary, because there are also natural and drug-free ways to combat migraine headaches. We have to consider nutrition, nutrient supply, sleep, fluid intake and stress, all of which are common triggers for migraines, the doctor explains. The following tips can help cushion the effects of migraines.

According to Dr. Young, the consumption of several small meals throughout the day helps to keep the blood sugar level stable. A stable blood sugar level in turn leads to fewer migraine attacks. With the kind of the nutrition one can orient oneself at the concept of the Mediterranean diet, which has a high portion of fruit, vegetable, beans, lean protein and healthy fats (e.g. from wild salmon, nuts, seeds and olive oil).

Pay attention to the triggers

Certain ingredients that are ingested through the diet are frequent triggers of migraine attacks. For example, caffeine or fried foods are possible triggers for many of those affected. Dr. Young recommends that it is always important to understand what was eaten on the day when a seizure occurs: Watch out for reactions to ripened cheese, chocolate, alcohol and fermented or pickled foods. Experience shows that the following ingredients are often involved:

There seems to be a connection between mitochondrial energy production in your cells and migraine, stresses Dr. Young. In migraines, he says, it is particularly important to consume the right amounts of coenzyme Q10, vitamin B2 and magnesium. Anyone who frequently suffers from migraine attacks should have a doctor check whether a nutrient deficiency exists.

In addition, chiropractic and acupuncture measures as well as massages also have a soothing effect on some migraine sufferers, according to the expert. Further tips can be found in the article: Natural household remedies for headaches. (vb)

Getting a grip on migraine attacks without drugs

Stress in everyday life is also a common trigger for tension headaches. Lifestyle changes and targeted stress management can reduce the number and severity of migraine attacks. I teach my patients meditation, including mindfulness and mantra meditation, says Dr. Young. Diaphragmatic breathing and the so-called 4-7-8 breathing technique are also effective ways to reduce stress.

Herbal therapies, for example with butterbur and feverfew, can also help prevent migraines, Dr. Young recommends. Butterbur can also help with seasonal allergy symptoms. Feverfew dilates the blood vessels and can thus help to prevent migraine attacks.

Researchers have long known that many people (mostly women) suffering from anorexia face a high risk of death. But, until now, they didnt know what causes the eating disorder to turn fatal.

In a research letter published in the Oct. 26 edition of Nature Metabolism, Yale researchers describe a specific neuron that appears to play an important role in whether anorexia becomes deadly.

They also discovered a potential treatment: a high-fat diet.

Over the last 25 years, our work has focused on understanding what drives hunger, said author Tamas Horvath, the Jean and David W. Wallace Professor of Comparative Medicine and professor of neuroscience and of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive sciences. We wondered if neurons in the brain which are working at a high level when someone is dieting could be participating in some aspect of the disease.

For the study, the researchers looked at a specific neuron that is active during food restriction, called the hypothalamic agouti-related peptide (AgRP), in food-restricted, exercising mice. They found a direct relationship between the workings of the neuron and the animals likelihood of dying. In fact, all animals on a food-restricted, high-exercise diet whose AgRP neurons were inhibited died within 72 hours.

If we diminished these neurons in animals who ate little and exercised compulsively, they died, said Horvath, who is also chair of the Department of Comparative Medicine and director of the Yale Program in Integrative Cell Signaling and Neurobiology of Metabolism.

Lowering levels of these neurons proved fatal, Horvath said, because they are needed to help the body access alternative forms of fuel namely fat in the absence of eating, combined with intense exercise. If these neurons dont function, you are not able to mobilize fuels from fat stores, he said.

But when they provided fatty food to the mice with decreased AgRP activity they found that death [was] completely prevented. This finding could suggest a new tactic for treating anorexia in people, Horvath said. If you are a person dying from anorexia and eat foods containing elevated fat, you may survive, he said.

Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder that affects mainly adolescent girls. Those with the disorder severely restrict their eating, fear gaining weight, and exercise compulsively. Some 20 million women suffer from anorexia, which has the highest mortality rate of any mental illness.

Horvath and other Yale researchers are now extending their research to identify which fats may work best in preventing anorexia from becoming lethal. Many people with this disorder are in the care of medical professionals, and theres an opportunity to bring these findings to the human population, he said.

Other Yale researchers who contributed to the research letter include first author Maria Miletta, postdoctoral associate in comparative medicine; Onur Iyilikci, postdoctoral associate in comparative medicine; Marya Shanabrough, research associate in comparative medicine; Matija Sestan-Pesa, postdoctoral associate in comparative medicine; Caroline Zeiss, professor of comparative medicine; and Marcelo Dietrich, associate professor of comparative medicine and of neuroscience. The work was supported by the Klarman Family Foundation and the National Institutes of Health.

HIGH POINT, N.C., Oct. 29, 2020 With growing enrollment for the 2020-21 academic year, High Point University welcomed nine new faculty members this year to the Nido R. Qubein School of Communication, Earl N. Phillips School of Business and David R. Hayworth College of Arts and Sciences.

These new faculty members are part of 25 total new faculty members to join HPU this fall. Click here to read more about 16 new faculty members who joined HPUs growing health and sciences programs.

Cameron Zinsou, Visiting Instructor of History

Cameron Zinsou teaches two sections of Foundations of Western Civilization and two sections of American Aspirations, 1914 to Present in HPUs David R. Hayworth College of Arts and Sciences. His area of expertise includes civil and military relations at the local level. He is also a specialist in the Operation Anvil/Dragoon, the allied invasion of southern France in August 1944.

Zinsous current research is about daily life in southern France during World War II. Specifically, hes looking into the definition of occupation and whether or not asovereign nationcan occupy its own citizens' property or possessions.

He previously taught as a teaching assistant at the University of North Texas and teaching assistant and instructor at Mississippi State University. He is also involved in the Society for Military History. He served as the graduate student representative for the Society and in 2017, and the society awarded him with the Allan R. Millett Dissertation Research Fellowship Award for his work.

History is ubiquitous, says Zinsou. It informs the way we live our lives presently, and conversations about our history permeate our daily life. I want to show our students how different people have interpreted separate events through time. I hope to make students aware that history is a living, breathing entity that is constantly revised and contested. The best interpretations of history are evidence-based and built off of the work of previous historians.

Dr. Alec Szalewski, Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice

As an assistant professor of criminal justice, Dr. Alec Szalewski teaches a variety of courses, such as probation, parole, and community corrections, in the David R. Hayworth College of Arts and Sciences. Szalewski will be conducting research, advising students and participating in service projects.

His area of expertise includes macro and micro level influences on lethal and non-lethal violence. His recent prior publications focus on homicide, specifically, intimate partner homicide and family homicide.

He earned his Ph.D. with an emphasis on criminology at the University of Central Florida, where he also taught as a graduate teaching associate. During his time at UCF, he also published four peer-reviewed journal articles, presented at conferences, and served as a reviewer for peer-reviewed academic articles. He was a recipient of the Office of Research and Commercialization (ORC) Doctoral Fellowship at the University of Central Florida for the 2017-2018 academic year.

Criminal justice and criminology are a deep topic that do not often have one answer or one perspective, says Szalewski. My goal for the students taking my courses is not only for them to learn the material through deeper discussion and interaction with each other, but to be able to extend that understanding past the basic subject matter. My classes challenge students to critically analyze and understand the topics as a whole and from other perspectives, even those perspectives that may not be agreed with. I believe this not only helps the students better learn the basic subject matter, but it gives them an opportunity to better recognize the concepts and ideas as a whole.

Dr. Abby Broughton, Assistant Professor of French

Dr. Abby Broughton teaches both the beginner and intermediate French series in HPUs David R. Hayworth College of Arts and Sciences. These courses introduce students to Francophone language and culture, help them build a strong foundation in French and are also the gateway into advanced language courses.

Her research focuses on developing the interpretive mode and critical cultural awareness in the French classroom. Most recently, she has been working with social reading technologies to transform students reading experience in French.

She has previously worked in France and holds a Bachelor of Arts in French and International Studies, a Master of Arts in French Language and Literature, and a Ph.D. in French and Second Language Studies. Broughton earned her doctoral degree at Vanderbilt University, where she combined her love of Francophone literature and passion for pedagogy in a degree that focused both on French and Second Language Studies. Broughton taught French while earning her masters and doctoral degrees and has experience in all levels of language study.

The majority of my students are in their first year, so it is exciting for me as a professor to be one of their first points of contact on campus, says Broughton. The skills they learn in these courses will serve them throughout their careers at High Point University and in their own lives as they navigate our interconnected world.

Dr. Humberto Gonzlez Chvez, Assistant Professor of Italian

He plans to develop new courses in his area of specialty and to collaborate in HPUs study abroad program in Sicily. Beyond teaching, he will co-lead co-curricular activities such as the Italian Club and the Tavola Italiana. He is currently working to found a chapter of Gamma Kappa Alpha, the national honor society for Italian, and hopes to induct its first class in spring 2021.

Gonzlez Chvez has been teaching Italian language, literature and culture for more than 10 years at universities in the United States and abroad. He has held appointments at Ohio State University, University of North Texas, Baylor University, Charles University in Prague and New York University. He also taught an intensive language course at the Yale School of Architecture. Gonzlez Chvez specializes in late medieval Italian literature with particular interest in Dantes Divine Comedy and Petrarchs Rerum vulgarium fragmenta.

He holds a Bachelor of Arts in music performance from Texas Christian University, a Master of Arts in Italian studies from Ohio State University, a Master of Arts in Italian language and literature from Yale University, and a Master of Philosophy and Ph.D. in Italian literature from New York University.

I hope that I am able to convey to my students that there is nothing that compares to learning to speak and understand another language, says Gonzlez Chvez. It gives you a profound insight into a different culture that you cannot achieve by studying any of its other artifacts. It also prepares you better than anything else for acquiring a deeper appreciation of those very artifacts which are at the center of other fields of inquiry from literature and art to science, political theory and philosophy.

Dr. Rodney Reynolds, Assistant Professor of Anthropology

Dr. Rodney Reynolds teaches in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology in HPUs David R. Hayworth College of Arts and Sciences. His courses focus on social and cultural anthropology, including medical anthropology. He has created and will teach a new honors course in the spring 2020 semester about material culture, which will explore the relationships and meanings that grow out human relationships with things.

Reynolds is an anthropologist and has worked in Latin America over the past few years, specifically in Mexico. While in Mexico, he was funded to explore obesity in family contexts. Last year, he completed a public engagement focused project around mindful walking that explored how well-being is generated through locomotion and attention to ones sensory environment. Reynolds is currently involved in a study with a Peru-based research group that seeks to describe and analyze how COVID-19 and quarantine has impacted people over 60 in one of Lima Perus low income neighborhoods.

He has been teaching and conducting research for more than a decade in anthropology and the social sciences. Reynolds holds a Ph.D. in anthropology and a masters degree in anthropology with a concentration in material culture, both from University College London.

Election Day is around the corner, and in the age of COVID-19, many Harrisonburg residents are choosing to participate in early or mail-in voting. Heres a rundown of candidates and constitutional amendments that individuals registered to vote in Harrisonburg can expect to see on their ballots.

For President

DONALD TRUMP (R)

Running on a campaign slogan of Keep America Great, the incumbents platform largely mirrors his 2016 agenda. His America First policies prioritize lowering taxes, ending stifling regulations, securing the U.S borders and retaining jobs in the country, among other issues. Trump maintains his promise to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.

Trumps running mate, Vice President Mike Pence (R), is Trumps evangelical counterpart. Pence served as a representative of Indiana in Congress for 12 years before assuming the role of Governor of Indiana in 2012.

JOE BIDEN (D)

Biden served as a U.S. Senator from 1973 to 2009 and as Vice President under President Barack Obama (D) from 2009 to 2017.

A hot-button issue on Bidens agenda is imposing tax increases for corporations and the wealthiest Americans. Biden said, Americans who make less than $400,000 a year wont pay a penny more in taxes. Additionally, Biden said hell levy over a dozen middle class tax cuts.

Bidens platform also prioritizes building back better in the wake of the pandemic, establishing racial and social equity, instituting a clean energy future, modernizing Americas immigration system and ending gun violence by ceasing the online sale of firearms and requiring background checks for all gun sales.

Bidens running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris (D), is the first Black and South Asian woman to be a major partys vice presidential nominee. After serving as the California Attorney General for six years, Harris became the junior senator for California in 2017. She then ran for president, ending her bid in December 2019.

JO JORGENSEN (L)

Jorgensen,the only third party presidential candidate, is on the ballot. Shes running as a Libertarian and served as the Libertarian Partys candidate for South Carolinas 4th Congressional District in 1992.

Jorgensen wrote on her website that the U.S. should reduce red tape and regulation of medicines, treatment and testing so patient access increases. She also said she prioritizes returning control of education to the hands of students, parents and teachers. Jorgensen vows on her website to slash federal spending and reduce taxes.

She said as president shed work to remove government barriers to replace coal and oil burning power plants with safe, non-polluting, high-tech nuclear power plants and off-grid solar power.

Jorgensen said her goal is to turn America into one giant Switzerland, armed and neutral. Shes in favor of a military laser-focused on defending America, but without involvement in foreign wars. Shes a proponent of returning the over 200,000 American military personnel stationed overseas, ceasing military aid to foreign governments and ending blockades and embargoes on non-military trade.

Spike Cohen is Jorgensens running mate. Cohen is a political activist, entrepreneur and podcaster.

For Senate

MARK WARNER (D)

For the last 11 years, Warner has represented Virginia in the U.S. Senate. As senator, Warner has guided 55 bills signed into law. Warner lists lowering the costs of prescription drugs, protecting natural treasures like the Chesapeake Bay and creating jobs in Virginia as his biggest successes during his tenure. He said his priorities for his next term are correcting the out-of-control cost of health care, procuring solutions to climate change and aiding the future of our economy.

Warner also said hes committed to ensuring that every Virginian has access to quality, affordable health care and emphasizes protecting benefits for Americans with pre-existing conditions.

Warner wrote on his website that climate change is one of the largest threats to American health, economy and national security. He supports legislation like the Clean Economy Act, which establishes a goal for net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

DANIEL GADE (R)

Gade served in the U.S. military for over 20 years. After suffering an injury that resulted in the amputation of his right leg, Gade worked on veteran issues and military healthcare in former President George W. Bushs administration.

The first bill Gade said he wants to see through Congress is aimed at stopping insider trading among members of Congress and levy felonies on public servants who use insider, nonpublic information to gain an advantage in their financial endeavors.

On the environment, Gade said both parties should be able to find common ground. He said hes a proponent of clean water and renewable energy.

A proponent of term limits and bipartisan efforts, Gade said he will prioritize balancing the budget and prevent purposeful overspending by career politicians to buy elections.

For House of Representatives

BEN CLINE (R)

Cline is seeking reelection in the 6th district. Hes co-sponsored over 100 bipartisan bills during his 2-year tenure in Congress. From 2002 until 2018, Cline represented the 24th House District in the Virginia General Assembly.

Cline said the most important issue Congress must address this term is helping the country recover from the COVID-19 pandemic starting with the development and deployment of a safe and effective vaccine.

Cline supports funding to law enforcement agencies to provide body cameras, de-escalation training and a national database to prevent the re-hiring of officers fired for violating their agencys protocols.

Cline said because the sixth congressional district is one of the largest agriculture producing districts in the country, protecting natural resources is a top priority. He said he supports an all-of-the-above energy policy which creates a competitive market between traditional energy sources like coal, oil, and natural gas and alternative energy sources.

Another item on Clines agenda is pushing back against the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Cline said the mandates placed on insurance policies by the ACA have raised premiums for many Americans.

NICHOLAS BETTS (D)

Betts has worked in various jobs, including landscaper and substitute teacher, and lives in Lexington, Virginia.

The first item listed on Betts platform is providing a public healthcare option for all citizens while maintaining an option for private health insurance.

Betts calls for universal background checks at the federal level and a 1% federal sales tax on ammunition to fund violence prevention programs.

In terms of police reform, Betts advocates for a federal government developed police training program and increased transparency through federally mandated body camera usage and a national database of police misconduct.

Betts also lists reforming education through funding, reducing student debt through loan forgiveness, offering tax credits for clean energy, expanding internet access, upholding Roe v. Wade, protecting the rights of the LGBTQ+ community and decriminalizing marijuana use as top priorities.

Hirschmanns website details that tax rates in the city have grown to the point that residents and businesses are fleeing the city, and lists that hes a fiscally responsible candidate who can tackle the issue.

LAURA DENT (D)

Dent is a pragmatic progressive which means she aligns herself with progressive goals like environmental and social justice while also retaining emphasis on the process to reach those goals. Dent was an adjunct technical writing professor at JMU until the pandemic, when she decided shed take a few years off.

CHARLES HENDRICKS (D)

Also on the ballot:

VIRGINIA CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT NO.1, REDISTRICTING COMMISSION

Gerrymandering is a political tool used by both parties depending on whos in power. It can deeply affect minority communities by diluting the power of their vote.

The Virginia General Assembly and Governor Ralph Northam (D) will draw a new district map next year based on 2020 Census results. The proposed amendment aims to stop gerrymandering from dictating that process by shifting the responsibility of drawing these election districts to a bipartisan commission, who would then submit the maps for approval from the General Assembly. If commissioners appointed by legislators dont agree on maps or if the General Assembly doesnt approve the submitted maps by a certain date, the Supreme Court of Virginia is responsible for drawing the election districts.

According to the Virginia Mercury, the Democratic Party of Virginia is urging voters to oppose the proposed constitutional amendment because the bipartisan process will be inherently political and will quench any hope of a third party rising to influence. Conversely, the Republican Party of Virginia said that Democrats hold this view because they control the General Assembly and are unwilling to relinquish the power to redraw the maps themselves.

VIRGINIA CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT NO.2, DISABLED VETERANS VEHICLE

The second proposed constitutional amendment would exclude disabled veterans from paying personal property taxes on cars and pickup trucks. The measure is a state and local tax break for veterans of the United States armed forces or the Virginia National Guard who have a 100% service-connected, permanent and total disability. Under the amendment, a vehicle thats owned by the spouse of a disabled veteran could also be free from taxation.

According to Vote411, proponents of the measure say that veterans who are totally disabled from a military-related experience have sacrificed enough for their country, so eliminating the burden of taxes on their primary vehicle is deserved. Critics of the amendment say the exemption is too broad and shouldve included limitations on eligibility based on income or value of the exempted vehicle.

What's on my ballot: everything to know before voting - The Breeze

One participant said, It seems like weve done 10 years of work in seven months!

Kevin Harrod, Ph.D.Jeanne Marrazzo, M.D., director of Infectious Diseases, got a text at the end of Wednesdays four-hour School of Medicine COVID-19 Research Symposium that highlighted the broad and breakneck work done at the University of Alabama at Birmingham since March 2020.

It seems like weve done 10 years of work in seven months! she told participants.

Presentations by eight leading UAB researchers buoyed that sentiment. Among the work:

One hallmark of all eight presentations? An extreme interdisciplinary collaboration of researchers and clinicians across the hospital and university campus, that co-convener Etty Tika Benveniste, Ph.D., called remarkable. Research presented by Fran Lund, Ph.D., for example, involved eight different labs and 30 researchers.

Here are brief highlights of each presentation.

The first two presenters, Lund and Paul Goepfert, M.D., looked at how two kinds of the immune systems white blood cells respond in patients with COVID-19.

Lund, an international expert in B cell biology, was able to isolate B cells from patients that made antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus spike protein. Her team found that many of these antibodies were cross-reactive against the spike proteins from SARS or MERS, which suggested that the antibody protection might wane. She also briefly mentioned her work to test the Altimmune Inc. intranasal vaccine candidate that would be the first intranasal vaccine for COVID-19 and might be effective at preventing transmission.

Steven Rowe, M.D.Goepferts team found a surprising result: Peripheral T follicular helper cells against SARS-CoV-2 continue to increase during convalescence, and they are more activated in severe patients who are in intensive care.

Immunologic studies like those of Lund and Goepfert are vital for understanding how the body responds to SARS-CoV-2 infection, as a prelude to learning how to better treat the disease.

In the section on optimizing diagnosis and treatment, Erdmann talked about several other clinical trials besides the remdesivir trial. He noted that UAB has been quite successful in minority enrollment for inpatient trials, and said UAB researchers have been able to enroll 159 convalescent patients and 846 hospitalized patients for donations of high-quality biological samples like peripheral blood monocytes, blood plasma, urine and oral saline rinses.

After he finished, Marrazzo said, You highlighted the absolutely herculean efforts to do this exceptionally collaborative work at UAB.

Besides the creation and expansion of the UAB COVID-19 test, Leal described how his team was able to adapt that test to screen 250,000 students who were returning to Alabama colleges in August, by using a pooled-sample method. Now, as flu season approaches, the clinical lab is adjusting its test to detect both SARS-CoV-2 and seasonal influenza in a single test. They are also beginning to incorporate prognostic tests of things like interferon-beta or various cytokines into the COVID-19 test. The goal is being able to identify those who are more at risk for severe disease.

In Harrods drug screening, he identified tocopherol polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS) an existing drug that is a Vitamin E precursor as a drug that acts in synergy with remdesivir. This is important because the TPGS could then lessen the amount of remdesivir needed to treat patients. Remdesivir is in short supply. Intriguingly, his team also found that ivacaftor, a cystic fibrosis drug, is effective against SARS-CoV-2 in the cell culture assays, opening the door to studying its mechanism of action.

The second presenter in basic science discovery, along with Harrod, was Steven Rowe, M.D., director of the Gregory Fleming James Cystic Fibrosis Research Center at UAB. He is testing ferrets as an animal model of severe COVID-19 disease, to fill the urgent need for such a model. His team has found that infection with SARS-CoV-2 disrupts mucociliary clearance in the ferret trachea, as measured by micro-optical coherence tomography, which is similar to the laser eye test that creates a profile of a patients retina. This test is now being adapted to quantify mucociliary clearance the escalator-like movement of mucus from the lungs to the throat in patients with COVID-19.

Paul Goepfert, M.D.,Nathan Erdmann, M.D., Ph.D., and Fran Lund, Ph.D.The final section of the symposium focused on COVID-19 and health disparities.

Mona Fouad, M.D., noted that COVID-19 deaths are higher in African Americans and Hispanics than whites, and she said that, as the pandemic arrived, the UAB Minority Health and Health Disparities team pivoted to COVID-19. They created a Community Mobile Testing Model with three parts: engaging and educating communities about COVID-19 and dispelling myths; bringing mobile testing to vulnerable communities; and creating patient navigators to help people with COVID-19. Navigators are people who have had experiences similar to those of the communitys people and understand their needs.

Jefferson County CARES Act funding expanded the program to 33 test sites in 18 communities in the county. Of the adults tested, Hispanics had a 29 percent positivity rate, African Americans 9 percent and whites 5 percent.

The final UAB presenter was Selwyn Vickers, M.D., dean of the UAB School of Medicine. He said a meeting he had with 13 Black medical leaders nationwide identified COVID-19 as a crisis within a crisis. African Americans already had health disparities, caused in part by disparities in education and socio-economic determinants, before the added burden of a pandemic.

The deadly combination of COVID-19 with the preexisting social determinants was like throwing gasoline on a fire, he said, a combination of smoldering chronic disease and an acute respiratory infection. Even more than African Americans, the worst-hit in the United States are Native Americans.

To help address disparities, Vickers said we need to prepare for a second surge of COVID-19, ensure equitable treatment and vaccine availability, invest in public health, and invest in reducing the social determinants of health disparities.

Interdisciplinary work highlighted at COVID-19 Research Symposium - The Mix

It was negative three degrees outside when Evi Dixon remarked on what a beautiful day it was. Originally from Austria, she is no stranger to a white world and chilly temperatures. Actually, snow is what initially brought her to Big Sky the plan was to work one season abroad as a ski instructor. Instead of returning immediately, she met a fella and had two children. They all moved back to Austria, but her ex husband missed home and returned to Montana.

She described Big Sky as a tiny, deserted little place in the early days, particularly in the summer and fall no one was around. Twelve years later, Dixon returned to a different Big Sky, a thriving mountain, and she would meet a new man. For years, she worked on the mountain in the ski school office, at BASE Camp when it was just starting, she became an EMT, a ski patroller and eventually an accident investigation supervisor for ski patrol, where she would take pictures and measurements, find witnesses and record the data. Dixon also did avalanche patrol, became a dispatcher and eventually trained dispatchers, a job she describes as one people rarely want, but that is important.

She believes she was the oldest woman to ever start professionally patrolling at Big Sky Resort.

A rough divorce in 2015 led her to another path, but first through a gauntlet of pain.

I gave myself up completely to [my marriage], she said softly with her slight accent. I was at the bottom of my energy. I had to do something. I couldnt wait any longer because I was really thinking of ending my life. I needed to do something so I started my own business.

From there, she said she found meaning and not just from a feeling of purpose, but also from positive interactions with new people, working on her personal development, her mindset.

It gave me so much hope. I really love it. Theres always a reason or a silver lining behind what happens, she said. Im here. Im happy. It still hurts what happened. That was really awful. I try to look to my future and get my feet on the ground. In Austria, she was a therapist. So after her divorce, she returned to her roots. Helping people makes her happy.

In Austria, she studied kinesiology and became a craniosacral therapist. Her focus is in frequency medicine. What some people may define as Eastern Medicine she refers to as integrative. She believes the eastern and western ways of medicine can work together and create the best possible outcomes for patients.

Her home business now involves the Healy, a device created by a German physicist and engineer who was a monk in India for 20 years. He created a handheld device that has similar capabilities as a large machine. With a team of doctors behind it, Dixon explained that it has applications for things like pain management, sleep, concentration, meridians, chakras, the whole gamut.

I can scan peoples biodynamics and their electric fields. It tells me what frequency people need and then it sends out the frequencies through the electromagnetic or biodynamic field, since we are all energy, we are all biodynamic, we are all frequency, every piece of music, every tree we are all connected, she said. She can treat people in Australia or India and has even treated animals.

Whatever Dixon decides to pursue she does with determination and a willingness to learn. A few years ago, she wanted to find animals to keep the grass mowed down on her property. After settling on alpacas and launching her business Spanish Peaks Alpacas, she learned to shear them and now travels around to other farms to help with shearing. From there, she learned how to spin yarn, how to knit and weave.

In many ways, she is the consummate entrepreneur, allowing for one pursuit to lead her to another and into a further understanding of entire industries. She continues to diversify her portfolio.

Dixon even recently became an author of an ebook titled, Activate Your Inner Healer, that contains 10 tips for self healing.

Life has never really been easy on her, she said. Her challenges started when she lost her parents as a little girl.

We are all going through trauma, but I still believe that Im a lucky person, she said.

When difficulties stack and she begins feeling overwhelmed, she does what she can to get herself recentered.

Meditate, go out and hug a tree, go listen to inspirational videos, go and dance. Or if its time to cry, its time to cry, she said. The main thing is that we have stories that happen and we have to understand the things that happen they are not happening to us, they are happening for us. That is a little bit of difference in the wording, but it is a big difference in the meaning. Life goes on and we have to deal with it. We are just going to become stronger.

Global Neuropathy Pain Treatment Market 2020 Comprehensive Analysis, Future Estimations, Growth Drivers and Forecast to 2027 - re:Jerusalem

This article was originally published here

BMC Endocr Disord. 2020 Oct 27;20(1):161. doi: 10.1186/s12902-020-00641-1.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Vitamin D deficiency is diagnosed by total serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentration and is associated with poor health and increased mortality; however, some populations have low 25(OH) D concentrations without manifestations of vitamin D deficiency. The Vitamin D Metabolite Ratio (VMR) has been suggested as a superior indicator of vitamin D status. Therefore, VMR was determined in a population with type 2 diabetes at high risk for vitamin D deficiency and correlated with diabetic complications.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Four hundred sisty patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) were recruited, all were vitamin D3 supplement naive. Plasma concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3) and its metabolites 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (24,25(OH)2D3) and its epimer, 3-epi-25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (3-epi-25(OH)D3), were measured by LC-MS/MS analysis. VMR-1 was calculated as a ratio of 24,25(OH)2D3:25(OH)D3; VMR-2 as a ratio of 1,25(OH)2D3:25(OH)D3; VMR-3 was calculated as a ratio of 3-epi-25(OH)D3: 25(OH)D3. RESULTS: An association means that there were significant differences between the ratios found for those with versus those without the various diabetic complications studied. VMR-1 was associated with diabetic retinopathy (p = 0.001) and peripheral artery disease (p = 0.012); VMR-2 associated with hypertension (p < 0.001), dyslipidemia (p < 0.001), diabetic retinopathy (p < 0.001), diabetic neuropathy (p < 0.001), coronary artery disease (p = 0.001) and stroke (p < 0.05). VMR-3 associated with hypertension (p < 0.05), dyslipidemia (p < 0.001) and coronary artery disease (p < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS: In this cross sectional study, whilst not causal, VMR-2 was shown to be the superior predictor of diabetic and cardiovascular complications though not demonstrative of causality in this cross-sectional study population over VMR-1, VMR-3 and the individual vitamin D concentration measurements; VMR-2 associated with both microvascular and cardiovascular indices and therefore may have utility in predicting the development of diabetic complications.
