Injury Deaths

New CDC Study Finds 5.5 Percent Increase in Injury Mortality from 1999 to 2004
Increases in deaths among 20–to–29 and 45–to–54 year olds contribute to first overall increase in years
Injury death rates nationally rose more than 5 percent after a two–decade period of decline, according to a study released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in today′s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. The report indicates the largest increases were seen in the 20–29 and 45–54 year age groups.
The total injury mortality rate includes deaths from unintentional injury, suicides, homicides, and injuries of undetermined intent. If a death could not be definitively attributed to unintentional injury or suicide, it is considered to be of undetermined intent. Homicide rates remained stable throughout the 1999–2004 period, with unintentional poisonings accounting for more than half of the total increase in injury deaths.
“We′re very concerned anytime we see an increase in premature deaths,“ said Ileana Arias, Ph.D., director of CDC′s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. “We don′t know if this is an indication of a trend, but it is something that needs to be further examined.“
The 45– to 54–year–old age group experienced the largest increase in injury mortality rates. This group had a 25 percent increase, for an additional 8,000 deaths in 2004. In comparison, the 20–29–year age group had an 8 percent increase in total injury death rates. Unintentional poisonings accounted for more than 50 percent of the increase in each group.
Shared risk factors could contribute to the increase in multiple injury categories and age groups, Arias said. For example, the recent increase in prescription drug abuse during the same time period in these age groups could have contributed to an increase in mortality due to suicide, homicide, unintentional poisoning, and other types of unintentional injury. Prevention programs that focus on such shared risk factors could help reduce the number of injury–related deaths.
“The increase in prescription drug overdoses among the middle–aged is something that the CDC has noted before,“ said Len Paulozzi, M.D., a medical epidemiologist at the Injury Center. “We need to explore the increases in other types of injury for which drug abuse is a risk factor in the same age groups.“
For this study, CDC analyzed mortality data on resident deaths occurring in the United States, as compiled from death certificates by the National Vital Statistics System.

Basic Dental Care
Basic Dental Care
Overview

Is this topic for you?
This topic provides information on basic dental care. If you are looking for information on tooth decay or cavities, see the topic Tooth Decay. If you are looking for information on gum disease (periodontal disease), see the topic Gum Disease.
What is basic dental care?
Basic dental care involves brushing and flossing your teeth regularly, seeing your dentist and/or dental hygienist for regular checkups and cleanings, and eating a mouth-healthy diet, which means foods high in whole grains, vegetables and fruits, and dairy products.
Why is basic dental care important?
Practicing basic dental care:
Prevents tooth decay.
Prevents gum (periodontal) disease, which can damage gum tissue and the bones that support teeth, and in the long term can lead to the loss of teeth.
Shortens time with the dentist and dental hygienist and makes the trip more pleasant.
Saves money. By preventing tooth decay and gum disease, you can reduce the need for fillings and other costly procedures.
Helps prevent bad breath. Brushing and flossing rid your mouth of the bacteria that cause bad breath.
Helps keep teeth white by preventing staining from food, drinks, and tobacco.
Improves overall health.
Makes it possible for your teeth to last a lifetime.
Are there ways to avoid dental problems?
Keeping your teeth and gums healthy requires good nutrition and regular brushing and flossing.
Floss at least once a day, and brush your teeth after meals, snacks, and before bed. This removes plaque, which can lead to damaged teeth, gums, and surrounding bone.
Use a toothpaste that contains fluoride, which helps prevent tooth decay and cavities. Ask your dentist if you need a mouthwash that contains fluoride or one with ingredients that fight plaque. Look for toothpastes that have been approved by the American Dental Association.
Avoid foods that contain a lot of sugar. Sugar helps plaque grow.
Avoid using tobacco products, which can cause gum disease and oral cancer. Exposure to tobacco smoke (secondhand smoke) also may cause gum disease, as well as other health problems.1
Practice tongue cleaning. You can use a tongue cleaner or a soft-bristle toothbrush, stroking in a back-to-front direction. Tongue cleaning is particularly important for people who smoke or whose tongues are coated or deeply grooved.
Schedule regular trips to the dentist based on how often you need exams and cleaning.
When should my child start seeing a dentist?
By the time your child is 6 months of age, your doctor should assess the likelihood of your child having future dental problems.2 If he or she thinks your child will have dental problems, be sure your child sees a dentist before his or her first birthday or 6 months after the first primary teeth appear, whichever comes first. After your first visit, schedule regular visits every 6 months or as your dentist recommends.
Experts recommend that your child's dental care start at 12 months of age.2 If your baby has dental problems caused by injury, disease, or a developmental problem, see your pediatric dentist right away.

Losing Hair? Check Your Teeth
Alopecia Tied To Dental Health
http://www.thehawaiichannel.com/health/14704332/detail.html?rss=hon&psp=health
POSTED: 6:46 am HST November 27, 2007
UPDATED: 8:04 am HST November 27, 2007
People who have started to lose hair -- either on their scalp or on other body parts -- may need to visit a dentist, according to researchers in Granada.
Researchers there said that the bald patches, called alopecia areata or localized alopecia, are closely tied to infections of the teeth.
"We have found that bald patches caused by tooth infection are not always in the same place. They normally appear on a line projected from the dental infection and can thus can be located on the face at the level of the maxillary teeth, above a line through the lip-angle to the scalp, beard, or even to the eyebrow. Nevertheless, they can also be located far from infection outbreak," authors Gil Montoya and Cutando Soriano said in a news release.
They said alopecia typically appears as one or more round bald patches on the scalp, in the beard or in the eyebrows. Some people lose their eyelashes. Usually, the hair regrows in a few months, though there can be relapses.
Alopecia is thought to affect 1 in 1,000 people.
The researchers said some cases of alopecia may be auto-immune problems, meaning the body attacks hair follicles as if they were invaders.

Losing weight can help fight cancers
Losing Weight Fights Cancer, Doctor Says
Modest Losses Can Make Big Difference
POSTED: 4:10 am HST November 1, 2007
WASHINGTON -- Eat your vegetables, lose weight and prevent cancer.
That sums up key recommendations from a panel of experts.
They're cited in a report by the American Institute for Cancer Research and the World Cancer Research Fund.
Dr. Philip James, head of the International Obesity Task Force, said a review of many research studies has found convincing evidence that obesity "causes more cancers than we thought."
According to James, even modest weight loss can significantly reduce the risk of cancer and that physical activity, even in limited amounts, has a similar benefit.
James said the long-standing recommendation to eat five portions of fruits and vegetables every day is more important than ever. He said two-thirds of each plate of food you eat should be vegetables, fruit, whole grains or beans.

Kitchen Oil Fire
Watch this video and learn what not to use to put out a grease fire. This is a great video. Water, being heavier than oil, sinks to the bottom where it instantly becomes superheated. The explosive force of the steam blows the burning oil up and out. Inside the confines of a kitchen, the fire ball hits the ceiling and fills the entire room. Also, do not throw sugar or flour on a grease fire. One cup creates the explosive force of two sticks of dynamite.
