Carson City Hospital named2010 Most Wired

CARSON CITY Carson City Hospital (CCH) has

been recognized as one of the nations Most Wired-Smalland Rural hospitals, according to the results of the 2010Most Wired Survey released in the July issue of Hospitals &Health Networks magazine. CCH is one of only 25 hospitalsin the United States recognized with a Most Wired award inthis category this year.

Hospitals understand the importance of health infor-mation technology (IT) and the benets of its widespreadadoption, yet as a eld still face signicant barriers toimplementation according to a newly released survey ofAmericas Most Wired hospitals and health systems.

Carson City Hospital has received the Most Wiredaward eight times since 1999.

Were so proud of this award, because we know hereat Carson City Hospital that having a solid, state-of-the-art technology infrastructure improves our efciency, aswell as the quality and safety of care for our patients, saidBruce L. Traverse, CCH President and CEO. Thats why we

work so hard to build this outstanding technological infra-structure for our patients.

This years survey reveals continued progress for hos-pitals in patient safety initiatives, including the fact that 51percent of medication orders were done electronically byphysicians at Most Wired hospitals, up from 49 percent lastyear.

Survey results speak to the fact that the full potential ofhealth IT has not been met and that the use of electronicmedical record (EHR) functions is still not widespread,even with independent physicians who practice withinhospitals.

The 2010 Most Wired Survey is redesigned this year toreect two years of work with an advisory group to continu-ally improve the Most Wired Survey. The 2010 Most WiredSurvey represents a new structure and methodology withan increased use of analytics and reporting. The advisorygroup was comprised of leaders from the College of Health-care Information Management Executives (CHIME), chiefinformation ofcers, Most Wired staff and vendors. Addi-tionally, the new methodology was made available to theentire CHIME membership for review and comment.

Protect tomatoes, potatoes nowGardeners who grow tomatoes and potatoes need to be

protecting their plants from late blight (Phytophthora in-festans) now with fungicide sprays. This disease has beenfound in southwestern Michigan and ve other states so farthis year.

This years wet, cool spring has favored the develop-ment of the disease. The rst symptoms of late blight aresmall, dark, circular to irregularly shaped lesions that ap-pear on the leaves three to ve days after they are infected.These lesions spread rapidly in cool, moist weather intobrown to black spots that are often surrounded by a greenborder. The disease is spread from infected plants in onearea to another by wind, splashed rain, animals and me-chanical transport such as equipment.

There are products available for gardeners to use to pre-vent late blight from attacking their plants, but there are noproducts that can cure a plant once it has the disease.

For more information contact the Master GardenerHotline at the MSU Montcalm Extension ofce in Stantonat (989) 831-7500 (Tuesdays from 1 to 4 p.m.).

Samples can be submitted to the MSU Montcalm Ex-tension ofce in Stanton for free screening by the Michigan

State Universitys Diagnostic Services.

MONDAY, AUGUST 2, 2010 RIVER VALLEY NEWS SHOPPER

Tomas Gutierrez and Kal-ynn Fishburn of St. Louis be-came the parents of a baby boy at Carson City Hospital.Mateo Santiago Gutierrez wasborn on July 14, 2010 at 11:28am. He weighed 9-pounds,. 15ounces. and was 21-1/4 incheslong. Grandparents are Lor-raine Scott from St. Louis andRobert Fishburn of Vestaburg.

LANSING The Michigan depart-ments of Community Health (MDCH) and Agriculture (MDA) today received conr-mation from the Michigan State University(MSU) Diagnostic Center for Populationand Animal Health (DCPAH) that a threemonth old Percheron lly from CalhounCounty and a 12 month old Arabian malefrom Barry County tested positive for themosquito-borne disease Eastern Equine

Encephalitis (EEE).MDA has also been informed that sev-

eral additional horses in Cass County arehighly suspect for EEE and are pendingtest results.

In total, there have been three horsespositive cases of EEE in Michigan thus farfor 2010. MDA was notied on July 20,2010 of a third case from a four year oldmixed breed mare from Cass County bythe National Veterinary Services Laborato-ries. This horse was also displaying signs ofneurologic disease typical of EEE, includ-ing staggering and depression, as well asfever.

We are concerned about this nding ofEEE in southwest Michigan and the likeli-hood of additional cases, so its imperativepeople take every precaution possible toprevent mosquito borne disease exposurefor themselves and their livestock, saidDr. Steven Halstead, State Veterinarian. Asimple vaccination will protect your animalfrom these often fatal illnesses, and routinemeasures to reduce mosquito exposure andeliminate mosquito habitats around thehome and farm will help protect people,horses, and other livestock. Horse ownersshould consult their veterinarian regardingmeasures appropriate for their herd.

Michigan residents need to know the

risks associated with mosquito-borne ill-nesses, which is why we are encouragingcitizens to observe several common sense

steps to limit exposure to mosquitoes, said

Janet Olszewski, MDCH director. One bitefrom an infected mosquito can lead to a se- vere - and possibly life-altering - illness.Prevention is the key to protection.

EEE is caused by viruses found in wild birds. Mosquitoes that feed on birds in-fected with EEE can transmit the diseaseto humans, horses, and other birds. Some birds are able to harbor the EEE viruseswithout becoming acutely ill, thereby serv-ing as reservoirs for the disease. Horses donot develop high enough levels of these vi-

ruses in their blood to be contagious to oth-

er animals or humans. Because of the highmortality rate for horses and humans, EEEis regarded as one of the most serious mos-quito-borne diseases in the United States.

Tips for preventing mosquito-bornediseases include:n Avoid mosquito bites: Use insect re-

pellent when outdoors, especially fromdusk to dawn.n Look for EPA-labeled products con-

taining active ingredients, such as DEET,Picaridin (KBR3023), or oil of lemon euca-lyptus (p-menthane 3,8-diol).n Apply more repellent, according to la-

bel instructions, if mosquitoes start to bite.n Mosquito-proof homes: Fix or install

window and door screens and cover or elim-inate empty containers with standing waterwhere mosquitoes can lay eggs.

n Protect your horses: Commerciallyavailable licensed vaccines against EEEare recommended for all horses in the U.S.Horses should be vaccinated annually. Itsnot too late this year to vaccinate your hors-esnUse approved insect repellants to pro-

tect horses.n If possible, put horses in stables,

stalls, or barns during the prime mosquitoexposure hours of dusk and dawn.n Eliminate standing water and drain

water troughs, and empty buckets at leastweekly.

Seasonal activity varies from year toyear, but mosquitoes carrying EEE remaina threat.

For more information on the humanhealth impact of EEE, please visit the Cen-ters for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) web site at: www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/arbor/eeefact.htm.

For more information about EEE inhorses, consult your local veterinarian orcontact MDAs Animal Industry Division at(517) 373-1077; or visit the MDA Web site

at: www.michigan.gov/mda.

Summer Dilemma: swimsuit or sweets?STATEPOINT MEDIA

Theres nothing like icecream or popsicles on a hotsummer day. Americans lovesweets so much that they areless than resolute when itcomes to passing them up,despite the potential toll ontheir summer swimsuit look.

One in ve Americans call

themselves failures when itcomes to sweet temptations,according to a survey con-ducted by the Corn RenersAssociation (CRA). In fact,28 percent refuse to choosebetween looking trim in aswimsuit and enjoying theirfavorite foods, according tothe study. And 40 percentof the women questionedwould opt for less revealingswimsuits rather than giveup sweets, while just 35 per-cent said they would try tocut back on summer treats.

Fortunately, there is asimpler, healthier solution:maintain a healthy lifestyleand enjoy sweets in modera-tion.

You can enjoy sweets ifyou consider your total calo-rie picture for the day. Thinkabout what youre choosingto eat based on how muchphysical activity youll begetting says Kristine Clark,Ph.D., R.D., and Directorof Sports Nutrition at PennState University. Try hard toeat well balanced meals andexercise 30 minutes a day.Then if you feel like a sweet,enjoy it!

Here are some tips from

Dr. Clark on how to haveyour popsicle and your swim-suit, too:n Calories always count.

Dont think a bite here orthere doesnt matter. The

calories in itty bitty bites

could add up to 500 or more,depending on their frequen-cy.

n Sugar is sugar. Sincecalories count, when you

want something sweet, bud-

get for it and enjoy. But re-member, no matter wheresugar comes from corn,cane, beets or bees thecalories are the same and the body handles these sugarsthe same.n Pretend saving calories

is saving money. If you dontgo out for lunch today youmight save money and 500-

700 calories. By bringinglunch instead, you controlcalories, can add more fruitsand veggies, and save cash.n Think of calories in ex-

ercise equivalents. For exam-ple, if you know eating a sec-ond serving of pasta is 400calories and you also know400 calories can be burned by walking or jogging fourmiles, then you might decidenot to have the extra serving. You might opt for an extraserving of salad for an exer-cise cost of only 150 caloriesor 1.5 miles of walking or jog-ging.n Dont starve yourself or

under-eat to the point youregrouchy. Eating is important,even when losing weight. Eatsensibly in the morning, al-lowing for a mid-morningveggie snack. Then eat a reallunch, such as a sandwich,fruit, and a cup of low fat yo-gurt. Allow for an afternoonfruit snack and always eatdinner.

Its all about moderationwhen it comes to fun in thesun and icy summer treats.

vey visit SweetSurprise.com.

Depression is often a good thing.It tells us that something is wrong.

For those of us that have suffered with depression, this statement may seem a little cruel.

There are many different kinds of depression. I used to have bouts of cyclic depression that would last three orfour days. Many have seasonal depression. Then there is reactive depression and finally endogenous depression.

All forms of depression are caused by a reduction of neurotransmitters. These are chemicals made in our brain.Their job is to help nerve cells communicate with each other to perform a specific task. The task of keeping ourmoods stable and on the happy side is a complicated one.

What we think about, causes certain chemicals to be released and these chemicals determine our mood. Worryand anxious thoughts cause the neurotransmitters to be used up faster than they can be made and consequentlythis depletion causes us to have the feelings that we call depression.

Feeling this, is like seeing the red warning light show up on the dash of your car. Its purpose is to tell yousomething is wrong. In my case there were certain thoughts and thinking patterns that I had learned in childhoodthat needed to be updated.

In seasonal depression, these feelings mean you need more sunshine. Melatonin is a

chemical that must have full spectrum natural light to be made by the brain. Fluorescentlights contribute to the problem.

Endogenous depression is usually caused by a deficiency in our nutrition.

Reactive depression is part of grief and loss.

Remember, the feeling of depression is a warning. Instead of just taking a medicationto raise the neurotransmitter levels, it is important to look for the cause. Fixing thecause will permanently remove those feelings of depression. Sunshine, full spectrumlighting, hypnotherapy, good nutrition, homeopathic remedies for unresolved grief,and supplements to naturally restore the balance of neurotransmitters will solve thisproblem.
