Driven to distraction?

Thu Nov 05 19:50 by Drive Smart Team

Experts reveal the dangers of listening to music whilst driving in your car, but there are benefits too.
Most of us enjoy listening to music whilst driving, but be careful what you listen to and how loud - making the wrong choices can have deadly consequences, according to experts.


It probably won't come as a surprise to hear that the tempo of music can affect the speed and reliability of your driving. Researchers at an Israeli university proved the link back in 2002.


They found that drivers listening to fast-paced tracks (120 beats per minute or more) had twice as many accidents as those listening to slower music. And those drivers are twice as likely to drive through a red light as drivers not listening to music at all.


'In general, if music is above 60 beats per minute, listeners experience a faster heart rate and increased blood pressure,' says consultant psychologist Conrad King. 'It doesn't matter if you listen to opera, classical or the latest rave music. It's the speed of the beat that counts.'
More recent research, carried out at Memorial University in Canada, has found that listening to music too loud can seriously hamper reaction times and cause accidents.


The study found that participants took an average of 20% longer than normal to perform physical and mental tasks when listening at 95 decibels. That's a potentially lethal delay for motorists, even at modest speeds. (As a guide, the typical car stereo has a maximum volume of about 110 decibels, but the loudest can reach 170 decibels or more.)
But it's not all bad news. Dr Nicola Dibben, a music psychologist from the University of Sheffield, UK, has carried out extensive research on the subject of in-car music on behalf on an insurance company.


She confirms that listening to music helps drivers relax, concentrate and keep alert, and is far more effective than silence, conversation or listening to talk radio. In fact, she advocates singing along too.
'Singing while driving stimulates not only the mind but also the body which, in turn, produces heightened alertness and reduced fatigue,' says Dibben. 'Singing may be less distracting than conversation because drivers recall words to songs they already know, or because it is fairly easy to learn the words to music where it uses repeated lyrics.


For safe listening in your car, follow these simple tips:


Stick to mid-paced music if you want to keep calm in stressful driving situations - there's a reason why many taxi drivers choose it!
To ensure a calm and positive frame of mind, choose music which evokes pleasant memories. You probably have favourite summer tunes, for example.
Avoid songs with overly aggressive lyrics. For many, tracks like Prodigy's 'Firestarter' are less than ideal.
Avoid music which is overly complex (eg songs with little repetition or, say, unusual remixes of well-known tracks) as they can be highly distracting.
If going on a long journey, select music which varies in volume, tempo and style - it will stop you getting bored and help increase awareness.
Listen at a comfortable volume level. Loud music will distract you - and, if really loud, annoy other drivers too.
Never wear earphones or headphones whilst driving. If you want to listen to your MP3 player, plug it into your car stereo if you can.
Do not attempt to change a CD whilst driving at speed. If you need to change volume or radio station, don't take your eyes off the road.
Sing along to the music you choose if you know it well enough, but don't pretend you're on stage.
Resist the urge to play air guitar - or, indeed, any other 'air' instrument - whilst driving. 'Playing' the car door, with your arm out of the window, isn't recommended either...

MOH alerts hospitals after two women given wrong dosage of cancer drugs


Channel NewsAsia - Friday, November 13



SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Health has alerted all hospitals to take immediate measures to ensure safety in the use of infusion pumps when administering drugs.
This follows a pharmaceutical error at KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital — where two cancer patients are now under observation, with one potentially in grave danger.


Mrs L K Ng, aged 51, and Mrs Yip Poh Hung, aged 44, were given chemotherapy drugs via an infusion pump — but settings on the pumps were inaccurate, despite two pharmacists checking to ensure accuracy before the infusion pumps were given to the women.


The ministry said it will share the findings and risk reduction strategies with other hospitals after KK Hospital completes its detailed root cause analysis.
If things go wrong, Mrs Yip Poh Hung’s organs could be damaged seriously. She is being given an antidote — Vistonuridine — specially flown in from the US. Although stable at the moment, she still needs to be observed carefully. She had consumed five days worth of cancer drugs in just five hours.
The hospital said the antidote being given to the patient is safe to use, even though the drug has not been approved for general use in Singapore. The drug has not even been approved by the FDA in the US. But the hospital is citing a recent study to vouch for its safety.


"They have tested this drug and out of the 17 patients, all actually recovered well. So that is why it is important to have this particular drug for our patient here," said Associate Professor Tan Kok Hian, director, Clinical Quality, KK Women’s & Children’s Hospital.


The hospital said her chances of full recovery are "very high".
Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA), which gave the last minute green light for the special use of the antidote in this instance, said: "Our regulatory framework has a system in place that allows HSA to consider special concession for clinicians to use unregistered medicinal products under exceptional medical circumstances, when there is no registered alternative available in Singapore.
"This is to ensure that patients are not denied access to critical treatments in the case of unmet medical needs." The HSA added that there have been past approvals granted in life or death situations where no alternative is available in Singapore.
Meanwhile, the pharmacists in question have been assigned "light duties", while they assist in investigations.


Hospital officials said they have apologised to the patients and their families. The hospital is also waiving current medical fees for the next cycle of chemotherapy treatment. As for further compensation, the hospital said the issue has not surfaced.
As a safeguard, the hospital has now decided to use only one type of infusion pump, so that the rate and calibration will be clearer and chances of error will be further diminished.


"We have a variety of pumps — the default rate is set at one rate and another pump is set at another rate. So sometimes if you are using the different pumps you should know the default rate and to set it accordingly. Unfortunately, it is very rare, there was an error and it wasn’t recognised," said Prof Tan.
"KK is also sorry about this incident and we take full responsibility for this error and we would also like to say sorry to the patients and their families who are involved," added Prof Tan.
Some patients, the hospital said, were concerned about their own medication after learning about the incident. However, doctors said the patients’ fears were assuaged and they were informed that the chances of such errors are extremely rare.


The hospital said investigations are ongoing.

Are you a Facebook addict?


ABS-CBN - Tuesday, October 20



MANILA - Facebook users beware. Psychologists are now probing a new kind of addiction called Facebook Addiction Disorder (FAD).


Psychologist Dr. Michael Fenichel, who has published numerous writings on FAD online, describes it as a situation in which Facebook usage "overtakes" daily activities like waking up, getting dressed, using the telephone, or checking e-mail.


"The amazing thing is that, like cellphones, nobody seems to notice the vast amount of time and energy - at work, at home, and now while on the move - people are devoting to Facebook. It has become a given," Fenichel writes in an online post titled "Facebook Addiction Disorder- A New Challenge?"


FAD could be classified under the more broad "internet addiction disorder" or internet overuse.
Academic papers have already posed theories on internet addiction and social networking addiction, and even less, cellphone addiction.
"Like most activities, moderation and integration are key. Those that may seriously label and treat FAD as a behavioral addiction will clearly need to use context in determining if a behavior has become demonstrably harmful to overall social, work, or face-to-face interpersonal efficacy," Fenichel added.


You are a Facebook addict if...
According to Joanna Lipari, a clinical psychologist at the University of California, Los Angeles who was interviewed for a CNN report, here are some signs that you are addicted to Facebook:


1. You lose sleep over Facebook. When using Facebook becomes a compulsion and you spend entire nights logged on to the site, causing you to become tired the next day.
2. You spend more than an hour a day on Facebook. Lipari said it is difficult to define how much is too much when it comes to Facebook usage, but that an average person need only spend half an hour on the site.
3. You become obsessed with old loves or exes you reconnect with on Facebook.
4. You ignore work in favor of Facebook. This means you do not do your job in order to sneak time on Facebook.
5. The thought of getting off Facebook leaves you in cold sweat. If you try going a day without Facebook and it causes you stress and anxiety, this means you need help.
According to the same report by Elizabeth Cohen, Senior CNN Medical Correspondent, Facebook addiction is not yet an actual medical diagnosis.
However, the report notes that several therapists in the United States have noticed a rise in the number of clients who get hooked on social networking, to the point of social dysfunction.


Facebook fun
Facebook, launched by the world's youngest billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, has over 300 million users worldwide, half of whom log on to the site every day.
Further, about 2 billion photos and 14 million videos are uploaded on various Facebook pages a month and about 6 billion minutes are spent on Facebook a day, worldwide.
According to Willis Wee, founder of the social media and marketing blog Penn-Olson.com, this is twice as much time that people spend on Google.


The global social networking website allows users to post and share content (like photos, links, videos, and notes), play casual games and applications, and interact with friends and family through messaging and chat. abs-cbnNEWS.com. With reports from CNN.com.

Study charts links between mobile phones, tumors

Reuters - Wednesday, October 14


By David Morgan
WASHINGTON - Studies on whether mobile phones can cause cancer, especially brain tumors, vary widely in quality and there may be some bias in those showing the least risk, researchers reported on Tuesday.
So far it is difficult to demonstrate any link, although the best studies do suggest some association between mobile phone use and cancer, the team led by Dr. Seung-Kwon Myung of South Korea's National Cancer Center found.
Myung and colleagues at Ewha Womans University and Seoul National University Hospital in Seoul and the University of California, Berkeley, examined 23 published studies of more than 37,000 people in what is called a meta-analysis.
They found results often depended on who conducted the study and how well they controlled for bias and other errors.
"We found a large discrepancy in the association between mobile phone use and tumor risk by research group, which is confounded with the methodological quality of the research," they wrote in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
The use of mobile and cordless phones has exploded in the past 10 years to an estimated 4.6 billion subscribers worldwide, according to the U.N. International Telecommunication Union.
Research has failed to establish any clear link between use of the devices and several kinds of cancer.
The latest study, supported in part by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, examined cases involving brain tumors and others including tumors of the facial nerves, salivary glands and testicles as well as non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.
It found no significant association between the risk of tumors and overall use of mobile phones, including cellular and cordless phones.
MILD RISK
Myung's team said eight studies that employed "high quality" methods to blind participants against bias found a mild increased risk of tumors among people who used mobile phones compared with those who never or rarely did.
An increased risk of benign, not malignant, tumors was also found among people who used the phones for a decade or longer.
The "high quality" studies were funded by the Swedish Work Environment Fund, the Orebro Cancer Fund and the Orebro University Hospital Cancer Fund, Myung's team said.
By contrast, studies that used "low quality" methods to weed out bias found mobile users were at lower risk for tumors than people who rarely used the devices.
Myung's team suggested those results could be marred by random errors and bias because of the quality of the methods.
Funding for some of the lower-quality studies included two industry groups, the Mobile Manufacturers Forum and the Global System for Mobile Communication Association, the researchers said.
Overall, the studies examined were not broad enough to shed light on whether mobile phone use could cause tumors. Myung's team said larger studies of a type called cohort studies are needed to answer that question.
Such studies follow a group of people who share a characteristic, in this case cellphone use, and compare them with other groups over time.
The only cohort study published to date showed no association between mobile phone use and tumors. But the study, conducted in Denmark, relied on telephone subscriptions and did not evaluate actual exposure to mobile phones.

Public smoking bans reduce heart attack risk: study

Posted: 23 September 2009 1145 hrs

WASHINGTON - Bans on smoking in public places, by reducing passive smoking, can decrease the risk of heart attacks by an average of 17 per cent, according to a new US and European study. The study, which examined the effects of smoking bans in regions across the United States and several countries in Europe, including Italy and Scotland, was published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. It found bans in smoking in places including cafes and bars produced an overall 17 per cent decrease in the risk of acute myocardial infarction - more commonly known as a heart attack - with a particular reduction in the risks to the young and non-smokers. In the United States, 32 states have passed laws banning smoking in public spaces and work places. According to the study, passive smoking - the inhalation of second-hand smoke - can produce a 30 per cent increase in the risk of acute myocardial infarction. - AFP/rs

Dust storm shrouds Sydney, nearly closing airport


By ROHAN SULLIVAN,Associated Press Writer - Thursday, September 24


SYDNEY – Australia's worst dust storm in 70 years blanketed the heavily populated east coast Wednesday in a cloud of red Outback grit, nearly closed the country's largest airport and left millions of people coughing and sputtering in the streets.
No one was hurt as a result of the pall that swept in overnight, bringing an eerie orange dawn to Sydney, but ambulance services reported a spike in emergency calls from people with breathing difficulties, and police warned drivers to take it easy on the roads.
Dust clouds blowing east from Australia's dry interior _ parched even further by the worst drought on record _ covered dozens of towns and cities in two states as strong winds snatched up tons of topsoil, threw it high into the sky and carried it hundreds of miles (kilometers).
International flights were diverted from Sydney to other cities _ three from New Zealand were turned around altogether _ and domestic schedules were thrown into chaos as operations at Sydney Airport were curtailed by unsafe visibility levels. Passenger ferries on the city's famous harbor were also stopped for several hours for safety reasons.
The dust over Sydney had largely cleared by midafternoon, though national carrier Qantas said severe delays would last all day because of diverted and late-running flights.
The dust was still flying further north, however, and the sky over the Queensland state capital of Brisbane was clogged with dust into the early evening.
Such thick dust is rare over Sydney, and came along with other uncommon weather conditions across the country in recent days. Hailstorms have pummeled parts of the country this week, while other parts have been hit with an early spring mini-heatwave, and wildfires.
"It did feel like Armageddon because when I was in the kitchen looking out the skylight, there was this red glow coming through," Sydney resident Karen told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio.
The storms _ visible as a huge brown smudge in satellite photographs of Australia on Wednesday _ are the most severe since the 1940s, experts said. One was recorded traveling from southern Australia all the way to New Zealand some 1,400 miles (2,220 kilometers) away.
Officials said particle pollution in Sydney's air rose to the worst on record Wednesday, and the New South Wales state ambulance service said it had received more than 250 calls before midday from people suffering breathing problems.
People with asthma or heart or lung diseases were urged not to go outside and to keep their medicine inhalers handy.
"Keeping yourself indoors today is the main thing to do if you have any of those conditions and particularly if you're a known sensitive sufferer such as children, older adults or pregnant women," said Wayne Smith, a senior state health official.
Sydney residents coughed and hacked their way through their morning commute, rubbing grit from their eyes. Some wore masks, wrapped their faces in scarves or pressed cloths over their noses and mouths.
"These dust storms are some of the largest in the last 70 years," said Nigel Tapper, an environmental scientist at Monash University. "Ten very dry years over inland southern Australia and very strong westerlies have conspired to produce these storms."

Singapore PSI drops to 29, lowest reading so far this month

By Jessica Yeo, Channel NewsAsia Posted: 18 September 2009 2307 hrs


SINGAPORE : The Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) was 29 at 4pm on Friday.
The 24-hour reading was the lowest so far this month.
This puts Singapore's air quality in the good range.
The National Environment Agency said the drop in PSI is due to the rain earlier Friday.
It added that more showers in the region over the next few days may help to alleviate the haze situation. - CNA/ms

Daily aspirin could do more harm than good: heart study

Posted: 01 September 2009 0804 hrs

LONDON : Healthy people taking a daily dose of aspirin to prevent heart attacks may be doing themselves more harm than good, according to a new study by British scientists. Researchers found that the risks of bleeding from taking aspirin were such that its routine use in healthy people "cannot be supported" - although they did not dispute its use in patients with a history of vascular problems. The results of the Aspirin for Asymptomatic Atherosclerosis (AAA) study add to a long-running debate about whether the potential dangers of taking aspirin could outweigh the benefits from reducing the risk of clots. "We know that patients with symptoms of artery disease, such as angina, heart attack or stroke, can reduce their risk of further problems by taking a small dose of aspirin each day," said Professor Peter Weissberg, medical director of the British Heart Foundation which helped fund the research. "The findings of this study agree with our current advice that people who do not have symptomatic or diagnosed artery or heart disease should not take aspirin, because the risks of bleeding may outweigh the benefits." The study was led by Professor Gerry Fowkes from the Wolfson Unit for Prevention of Peripheral Vascular Diseases in Edinburgh, Scotland, and presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress in Barcelona Sunday. It involved 3,350 men and women aged 50 to 75 years who tests revealed may have a condition where the arteries in their legs were furred up -- but who had no symptoms of heart disease or history of heart attack. They were given either a daily 100 mg dose of aspirin or a placebo (a dummy pill) and monitored over eight years. While there was no difference in the number of heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular events suffered, major bleeding occurred in two percent of the aspirin group compared to just 1.2 percent of the placebo group. - AFP/il

H1N1 flu vaccine to cost up to US$20 per dose

Posted: 02 September 2009 2354 hrs

GENEVA: Countries can expect to pay between 2.50 and 20 US dollars for a dose of H1N1 flu vaccine depending on their ability to meet the costs, a WHO official said in remarks published Wednesday. Marie-Paule Kieny, the head of vaccine research at the World Health Organisation, also warned that there would not be enough vaccines for the world's population and that people should not rely entirely on the vaccine. Rather, they should take other preventive measures against the A(H1N1) virus, such as avoiding large gatherings, closing schools and observing personal hygiene. "Coverage will be partial and not only in developing countries. But we should not be 'hypnotised' by vaccines," said Kieny in the interview published Wednesday in the WHO's Bulletin, a health journal. "There are other measures, such as social distancing, school closure, avoidance of large gatherings, antibiotics and personal hygiene. This is not like rabies, which is 100 per cent fatal. We are talking about a disease from which most people recover very well," she added. Kieny reiterated that the WHO will help countries to get as much vaccine as possible, and that the wealthiest countries may have to pay up to 20 US dollars. "The industry will use tiered pricing, so high-income countries might pay between 10 and 20 US dollars per dose, middle-income countries may pay about half that and low-income half that price again," she said. "These are ballpark figures but this is the order of magnitude," she added. Britain and France have received their first batches of H1N1 flu vaccine in late August, as governments began to arm themselves against an expected second wave of the pandemic in the northern winter. At least 2,185 people have died after contracting the H1N1 flu virus which has overtaken other viruses to become the most prevalent flu strain. - AFP/sc

Smoking: New research helps itch to quit

Posted: 14 September 2009 1021 hrs

PARIS – European scientists said Sunday they could explain why nicotine patches designed to help smokers kick their habit can cause skin irritation. Nicotine activates a so-called ion channel in skin cells that unleashes an inflammatory response by the immune system, leading to itching, they reported in the journal Nature Neuroscience. Previously, the irritation had been blamed on stimulation of special nicotine receptors on nerve cells, causing pain signals to be sent to the brain. The investigation, carried out on mice that had been genetically modified to lack the TRPA-1 ion channel, was led by Karel Talavera of the Leuven Catholic University, near Brussels. The discovery could pave the way to smoking therapies with fewer side effects, the authors say. - AFP/ra

Singapore PSI hits 64 on Wednesday, the highest reading this month

By Jessica Yeo, Channel NewsAsia Posted: 16 September 2009 1911 hrs

SINGAPORE : The Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) was 64 at 4pm on Wednesday. The 24-hour reading was the highest so far this month. This puts Singapore's air quality in the moderate range. The Singapore GP said the possibility of haze is one of the many potential issues covered in the Singapore F1 race contingency plan. The race organiser added that if the haze causes visibility or operational issues, the primary concern will always be the safety and well being of participants both on and off the track. It will work closely with the International Automobile Federation and the relevant government agencies before making any decision regarding the event. The National Environmental Agency expects the air quality to remain in the moderate range over the next two days. However, it said an expected rise in shower activities in the region over the next few days may help to alleviate the haze situation. The agency said the haze is a result of the escalation of fires in Kalimantan and Sumatra due to dry weather conditions.

The Top 5 Cancer- Causing Foods

The top five cancer-causing foods are:

1. Hot dogs
Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can't live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate.


2. Processed meats and bacon
Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer.


3. Doughnuts
Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams , may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.


4. French fries
Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer- causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries, said Adams .


5. Chips, crackers, and cookies
All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats.

BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS

1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level.
This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.

2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power..

3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.

5. Air Pollution
The brain is the larges! t oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.

6. Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.

7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.

8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.

9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.

10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain

The main causes of liver damage are:

1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.
2.. Not urinating in the morning.
3. Too much eating.
4.. Skipping breakfast. 5. Consuming too much medication
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.
8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.

We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to 'schedule.'
