- Infection, Inflammation, Cardiovascular Disease and Immunosenescence Among AmerIndians in Lowland Bolivia
-
- - Hillard S. Kaplan, PhD (2011/04/28)
- - Category : BSSR Lecture Series
- The basic biology of the human cardiovascular and immune systems, and of glucose and lipid metabolism evolved under conditions of much greater energetic stress and pathogen burden than currently exist in the U.S and other developed countries. This talk focuses on two issues. The first is what can be learned about aging-related diseases by investigating cardiovascular health and disease, inflammation and immunosenescence, and energy metabolism in populations that currently live under conditions of basic subsistence, low energy balance and high pathogen load, without significant access to markets and public health.
The second concerns possible solutions to the methodological challenges associated with conducting in-depth biological investigations in the context of population-level field research. To illustrate these issues, findings from on-going longitudinal research with Tsimane forager-farmers in Bolivia are presented. Initial results suggest that the role of inflammation in vascular and heart disease depends on energy balance and exercise. In addition, the roles of low- and high- density lipoproteins (LDL and HDL) in health and disease may also depend on energy balance and pathogen burden. With respect to immune function, chronic exposure to infectious disease throughout life appears to accelerate both immune system development and immunosenescence.
Combining health care provision with research is an especially productive means of conducting both laboratory-based and population-level epidemiological investigations in developing world settings.

- Workshop on Long-term Preservation & Management of Electronic Health Records (Day 2)
-
- - National Library of Medicine, Department of Veteran Affairs, National Archives and Records Administration, and National Institute of Standards and Technology (2011/04/22)
- - Category : Conferences
- Electronic health-related patient information is vital for clinical care and medical research. However, systems interoperability for preservation, storage, and accessibility of such health data have not yet been defined.
Clinical data in digital form represents a digital library, and inherits all the same administration and technical issues faced by digital libraries in other fields:- what to retain and for how long
- how to handle obsolescence of hardware and software
- interchange of information
- costs
- assignment of responsibility
- standards
Replacing lost data even if possible, will entail huge costs for patients, clinicians, administrators, pharmacists, and potentially, the entire countrys economy.

- - Category : Special
- The seven transmembrane receptors, also known as G protein coupled receptors, represent the largest of the several families of plasma membrane receptors, comprising more than a thousand genes and regulating virtually all known physiological processes in mammals. They represent one of the commonest targets of currently used drugs.

- Click here to respond to a survey about this DDM Seminar. Information will be used to evaluate the program and improve future seminars. On behalf of Colleen Barros, Deputy Director for Management (DDM), the NIH Training Center is pleased to announce the 3rd seminar of the 2010-2011 DDM Seminar Series featuring Dr. Beverly Kaye! She will address the NIH community in a presentation about employee engagement and retention, titled Talent Talk: The Art & Science of Retention, Engagement & Development.
Dr. Beverly Kaye is an internationally recognized authority on career issues and retention and engagement in the workplace. She was named a Legend by the American Society for Training & Development (ASTD) ？？？ a designation given to pioneers and prophets in the field of workplace learning and performance. Dr. Kaye has also been named by Leadership Excellence as one of North Americas 100 top thought leaders.
As founder and CEO of Career Systems International, and a best-selling author on workplace performance, Dr. Kaye has worked with a host of organizations to establish cutting-edge, award-winning talent development solutions. Her first book, Up is Not the Only Way, became a classic. This book made use of extensive research in what causes people to leave or stay.
With the fourth edition of Love Em or Lose Em: Getting Good People to Stay, a best-seller she coauthored, Dr. Kaye once again proved to be a pioneer in addressing one of the most pressing workplace problems of the 21st century: retaining and engaging employees. Love Em or Lose Em holds managers accountable for keeping their best people and provides practical strategies to assist them in fulfilling that responsibility. In her follow-up companion best seller, Love it, Dont Leave it: 26 Ways to Get What You Want at Work, Dr. Kaye and her coauthor show employees how they can find greater satisfaction in their current work lives.
She holds a doctorate from UCLA, and completed graduate work at the Sloan School of Management at MIT.
During this presentation, Dr. Kaye addresses the following key topics:- The importance of employee engagement and retention
- Strategies to improve employee engagement and retention
- The leader？？？s role in retention
