Overview

Bloomberg ranked countries on average adult-female weight and calculated the pound-loss necessary to reach the upper level of "normal."

Methodology

Weights were calculated by adapting the standard BMI formula: BMI = (weight in pounds / (height in inches x height in inches)) x 703. BMI is an index of weight-to-height used to classify adults as underweight, overweight or obese. Average adult BMI data were collected from the World Health Organization. Sources for average adult height data included OECD Society at a Glance (for OECD and Asia/Pacific countries) and MEASURE DHS, a survey project funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development. To extrapolate 2012 BMI, a simple linear trend was applied to BMI statistics from 1980 to 2008, the most recent data available. Ranking included countries with at least 1.5 million male and female adults and with complete BMI data from 1980 to 2008.

The Architect of Obamacare, Ezekiel Emanuel, Interviewed by Megyn Kelly

David Leeper | October 28 2013

 

Obamacare is looking more and more like some sort of Rube-Goldberg parody of a healthcare system. Does this lumbering leviathan actually have some architects who still stand behind it?

The answer is yes, and in the video below, we get to see and hear one of them as Fox News’ Megyn Kelly tries to interview Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel. He is a bioethicist, which is a person who studies controversial ethics questions brought about by advances in biology and medicine

The core of the interview is about the president’s (in)famous promise that Americans who like their health care plan and doctors can keep both. And he promised premiums would go down. In practice, for millions, those promises are turning out to be false. Why is that, and who is to blame?
Emanuel blames the insurance companies, and (evidently) the insurance companies blame Obamacare, which has forced them to make so many “upgrades” that they have to terminate old policies and offer new ones compliant with Obamacare regulations.
Defenders of Obamacare say that insurance companies didn’t have to cancel old policies. But according to Obamacare’s critics, insurance companies really had no choice because any change at all to any policy makes it, by law, a “new” policy subject to mandatory coverages and other restrictions that come with Obamacare.

Did the president know he was making a promise that wouldn’t/couldn’t be kept? Or did he pay so little attention to detail that he actually thought people could keep their insurance plans and doctors? Did he even bother to care?
Does it matter?
I guess in the future, when the president or anyone else in Big Government starts making promises on just about anything, we should visualize them in a Hawaiian shirt with two gold chains, trying to sell us a used car.
And how do you feel about Dr. Emanuel making  ”bioethical” heath care decisions and promises for you and your family?

The Multi-Billion Dollar Brassiere Industry

The recent preventive Double Mastectomy of Angelina Jolie; had kicked off a debate  on perceptions of Feminism and Aesthetics as well. It is not only about the conventional sexy looks of a woman, but also on the cost of her own fitness and health. Alike most issues, the Millennia Generation had already put many given thoughts and concepts on new trails towards different mindset and consensus. However, such issue of Bra-or-not is irrelevant for many females in Africa and Asia. Among nomad and rural, such urban code or luxury is not interesting nor concerning. However, the decency of non-swinging breasts is almost agreeable, not because of anything, but intrrupting attention..!!

 

 

 

French Scientists Suggest Women Should Stop Wearing Bras

Posted on April 16, 2013 by Miriam Kresh

Science puts a new view forward in the anti-brassiere argument.
 

Women have bound their breasts since antiquity, for modesty’s sake or to conform to an aesthetic ideal. Exposing the breast for human survival in breastfeeding is supposed to be kept politely minimal, even with the known multiple benefits of breastfeeding.
 
In the Western world, women avoid the free-swinging breast, a point of view encouraged by the multi-billion dollar brassiere industry. That began to change in the 1960s, when the Women’s Liberation movement proclaimed brassieres to be as oppressive as the corsets our grandmothers wore. Still, the majority of today’s women continue wearing the bra, conforming to societal norms and to fashion. Recent research conducted in France may influence women to change their minds again.

Professor Jean-Denis Rouillon, professor at the University of Franche-Comté in Besançon, recentlt concluded, after a 15-year study of 330 women, that supporting breasts in a bra helps not at all, neither “medically, physiologically nor anatomically.”
 
Rouillon argues that chest muscle and ligaments that support the breasts atrophy over time if the breasts’ natural motion is restrained by a bra. He claims that the women under study actually developed stronger supportive muscle while going bra-less. (Breast ligaments, which give the breast elasticity, do not regain tone as muscle does; like rubber bands, once they stretch out, they remain limp.) Rouillon proved his claim by the research participant’s nipples lifting 7mm towards the shoulder in one year. According to Rouillon, the women’s breasts became firmer and stretch marks faded.
 
Apart from wishing to improve the silhouette, women should be asking questions about bras versus female health. Some defenders of the no-bra cause claim that bras restrict the drainage of the axillary (armpit) lymph nodes. Lymph nodes help move bacteria, dead viruses and other blood toxins out of circulation. The implication is that these toxins simply stay in the armpit and breast area when a bra is worn, degrading health.
 
Others say that bras retain the heat naturally generated by the breast during movement, thereby increasing the chance of inflammation of the breast tissue and subsequently, cancer. With breast cancer rates rising almost visibly, it may be worth investigating that idea.
 
Although these issues are valid and deserve more research, there are no definite answers to anti-bra arguments based on health concerns. Respected institutions like the American Cancer Society invalidate the theory that bra-wearing increases chances of getting breast cancer. Proponents retort that as parallels between lung cancer and smoking were vigorously denied for decades by bodies with big financial interests in tobacco, so does the brassiere industry have interests in squashing that theory.
 
In the meantime, Rouillon is reluctant to advise all women to take their bras off. He said that the research participants didn’t represent the population at large – his study was conducted on women between the ages of 18-35. Further, he says that older women who have worn bras since early adolescence would gain nothing from removing their bras.
 
Presumably, Professor Rouillon means that if it’s too late to rebuild breast-supporting muscle, a woman might as well look good in her clothes and wear a bra.

A Healthcare System

Outside ER/OP Entrance; Khartoum Public Hospital

This post had originally appeared in "500 Words Magazine"; http://500wordsmag.com/theme-of-the-month/health-care-system-a-desperate-need-for-reform/

I’m not Physician, but an Architect.. I’m not only an Unlisted Politician, but an Urban Manager.. My early touch with Healthcare was in my graduation, proposing a Public Hospital; which had earned A+.. My professional touch was the contribution to Dubai Healthcare City.. My personal memoir was losing my Granni by flu followed by stroke at Khartoum Hospital.. Because my spouse was an Anesthetist, I can claim to be Half-Physician..!!

To start with, we should admit having no Healthcare System in Sudan.. We only have a group of sincere professionals; who daily fight the odds to save the lives and reduce the pain.. Yet, Healthcare is not about sincere efforts or wishes, but coherent structures of soft, hard, logistic, managerial and financial services.. In 1970th WHO had appreciated a Sudanese Program for providing basic and early interventions for all Sudanese, allover Sudan.. The program was made by 7000 stations across the country.. This was our only well structured service in this controversial sector..

Advocating how our personnel are smart or dedicated is not the issue, as healthcare is a complex service; which requires lots of guidelines and tools to successfully deliver.. No one here wants to downgrade any efforts, or to denounce the wishes about improved service.. This talk is about quality, not in terms of technicalities, but in terms of governance..

We need to admit that there are no proper Healthcare Planning, Operations or Products.. What we have is merely shy glimpse of a service that should be hygiene; while the premises urinary stinks.. It should be critically responsive, while most ambulatories malfunction.. It should be professionally sustainable; while its Minister advise the personnel to migrate.. It should be national, while it is urban and central.. It should be progressive, while is uproot from accreditation and academics collaborations.. It should be public, while it swiftly becomes lucrative private enterprises.. Its logistics and pharmacies should be handy, while corrupt administrators and managers (whom many are Medical Professionals too) spare the efforts, not to secure operations and services.. etc..

The wishful reform will not typically commenced by the “Sudanese Code of Politicalizing Everything” or SCPE.. An independent syndicate will prove nothing, unless honoring the professional mindset.. Although our physicians spend 90% of their time; upgrading their medical knowledge, they spent the left 10% on politics rather than healthcare training, in both management and governance; which are extensively available online.. Worldwide, very few healthcare professionals are engaged in the public politics, while ours are mostly and proudly sink within.. Since the famous protest of 1964 led by nurses-in-uniform; till the latest extravaganza on the independent syndicate; can someone count the added values professionally and nationally..?

True Healthcare reform will get the momentum by its capable and integrated soft resources.. Not the enthusiastic personnel who are eager to change, but who are professionally capable to do..
How Change of Healthcare  can be brought forward if the number of qualified planners, administrators, managers, financiers and auditors is not substantiated nor adequate..?

Once we had a Government.. 1905
