Webinar: How to get health products authorized in Canada

Canada is home to one of the most attractive markets for U.S. manufacturers of nutritional supplements. Currently, 71 percent of Canadian adults report they have used a natural health product, and 38 percent report they use at least one on a daily basis. Additionally, the number of senior Canadians over the age of 65 is projected to grow by 37 percent to approach 7 million by 2020. Increasing demand from senior Canadians combined with growing awareness of the preventative health benefits of many vitamins and dietary supplements will continue to support demand for these products over the coming years.

Since January 1, 2004, all natural health products sold in Canada are subject to the Natural Health Products Regulations. U.S. companies must obtain product licenses for their exported products, annex their manufacturing sites in the Canadian importers? site licenses and meet specific requirements in order to successfully export to Canada.

Join us for this informative webinar on how to register and license your natural health products in Canada. We are delighted to present Stephanie De Silva, Acting Manager of the Submission Management Division, Bureau of Product Review Assessment of Health Canada. Ms. De Silva will guide you through the process and answer your specific questions.

Ubiquitous nanotubes could reboot Edison-era nickel-iron battery technology

nanotubes-edison-nickel-iron-batteryBack in the 1920s, Thomas Edison's dream of an electric automobile was ultimately foiled by those meddling petroleum engines. But thanks to nanotube research from Stanford University, one legacy from that era may regain some glory: nickel-iron batteries. It turns out that carbon nanotubes doped with nickel and iron crystals can top up the normally slow-charging cells in a matter of minutes -- according to the scientists, that's almost 1,000 times faster than in the past. Although the batteries couldn't power your Volt or Prius due to a lack of energy density, they could give an extra jolt to their lithium-ion siblings for quicker starts and regenerative braking. The researchers are working on improving stability to allow more charging cycles, but it might be an extra in-your-face for Edison if it pans out.

Kids Family Education, Character Develop - Four Ways To Develop ...











As is known to all, cheerful and optimistic personality plays an important role in the children development in the future. People with optimistic personality are not only more healthy, but also more happy, by this way, it is easy to get succeed. In the following article, I will introduce how to develop this positive character?

Firstly, encourage children to make friends with other kids Children who are not good at communicating always have the character of depression, they can't feel the warm of friendship and often feel the lonely suffering from time to time. Under such circumstance, they are encouraged to make friends with other kids, in particular, the ones with the same age. Of course, it is better to make friends with cheerful and optimistic kids.

Get along with other people well People who can get along with other people well always have the bright inner world of the heart. As parents, why not take children to contact with people at different ages, different gender, different personality, different career and different social status, by this way, they would gradually know how to get along with different people. Of course, in the family education, children should firstly learn how to get along with their parents and relatives harmoniously. In addition, parents should get along with other people in daily life to set a good example for children.

Ask children to foster too many hobbies If your children only have one hobby, it is difficult for them to maintain the playing pleasure for a long time. Imagine that if your children only have the hobby of watching TV program, however there is no suitable program, they have nothing to do under such circumstance and would become unhappy inevitably. On the contrary, if your kids have other hobbies such as reading magazine, reading newspaper or other. They have more options and easy to get pleasure.

Not to control your children too strict As parents, it is your responsibility to educate your children and sometimes restrict their excessive behaviors. However, if their naive nature would be suppressed with the too strict control, which finally produce the negative effect on children's mental health. If you are smart parents, you should allow your children to have their different options at different ages. Believe or not, only the children who have the free option in the early time can really feel happy and comfortable, which is beneficial to the development of cheerful and optimistic character.

(AP) ? Chris Bosh is still hurting, and his Olympic plans are being pushed aside so he can heal.

The Miami Heat forward told USA Basketball on Friday that he is withdrawing from consideration for the London Games so he can continue recovering from the strained abdominal muscle that sidelined him for a portion of his team's run to the NBA championship. Bosh announced the decision through agent Henry Thomas one day after Heat teammate Dwyane Wade pulled out of the Olympic mix because of looming left knee surgery.

"This injury was a pretty serious one," Thomas said. "He was able to come back and play under the circumstances because he was trying to contribute to them winning a championship. There's still pain. There's still discomfort. And the real concern is if he doesn't rest and do the rehab associated with the injury, this could become sort of a chronic thing for him."

Bosh made the decision after consulting with Heat team physician Dr. Harlan Selesnick and others. Bosh, who played for the "Redeem Team" that won gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, called USA Basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski and team chairman Jerry Colangelo on Friday to deliver the word.

"He wanted to be part of it," Thomas said. "It was a great experience in '08. Feels like it could be another one. The exposure he would get being part of that team is something he would like. But at the end of the day, his health going forward is more important than all of those things."

Heat President Pat Riley said after the NBA draft ended late Thursday night that the team was leaving the decision on whether to play in London up to Bosh.

"It's based upon the need to rest and continue to rehab the injury," Thomas said. "He got his first taste of it in '08 and it was a great experience. But I think in talking to the doctors about it, they said you could play, but you'd be putting yourself at risk."

With Wade and now Bosh out, there are 16 players left for 12 spots on the U.S. Olympic team ? with LeBron James the lone Heat player left on the national team roster. The team convenes in Las Vegas next week to start training camp, then has five exhibitions with international teams before opening Olympic play against France on July 29.

USA Basketball plans to announce the Olympic roster around July 7.

Bosh was injured late in the first half of Game 1 of Miami's second-round series against Indiana. He wound up missing nine games, returning late in the Eastern Conference title series against the Boston Celtics.

Bosh scored 19 points in Miami's Game 7 win against the Celtics, sending the Heat into the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Bosh averaged 14.6 points and 9.4 rebounds in the title series, with Miami winning in five games.

The championship completed an emotional two months for Bosh, who briefly left the Heat during their first-round series against New York in order to see the birth of his son. He dealt with the injury in the second round, and he and his wife mourned the death of a masseuse they employed later in the playoffs.

"I think for all of us, especially for me, everything that I've been through, just fighting, just acting like I don't hear stuff, and just having the perseverance to keep pushing forward is just a sweet feeling," Bosh said last week when the Heat won the title. "I know a bunch of people made fun of me and said I was soft, but you can't be soft playing this game."

'Broken heart syndrome' protects the heart from adrenaline overload

ScienceDaily (June 27, 2012) ? A condition that temporarily causes heart failure in people who experience severe stress might actually protect the heart from very high levels of adrenaline, according to a new study published in the journal Circulation. The research provides the first physiological explanation for Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, also called "broken heart syndrome" because it affects people who suffer severe emotional stress after bereavement, and suggests guidance for treatment.

Around 1-2% of people who are initially suspected of having a heart attack are finally discovered to have this increasingly recognised syndrome.

The Imperial College London study, which simulated the condition in an animal model, suggests that the body changes its response to adrenaline by switching from its usual role in stimulating the heart to reducing its pumping power. Although this results in acute heart failure, most patients make a full recovery within days or weeks.

The researchers propose that the switch in the heart's response to adrenaline might have evolved to protect the heart from being overstimulated by the particularly high doses of adrenaline that the body releases during stress.

Patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, most often older women, experience symptoms that resemble a heart attack, but heart tests reveal no blockage in the coronary arteries; instead the heart has a balloon-like appearance caused by the bottom of the heart not contracting properly. The same condition is sometimes seen in people who are injected with adrenaline to treat severe allergic reactions.

In this new research, the authors simulated the condition by injecting high doses of adrenaline in anaesthetised rats. In these rats, as in Takotsubo patients, heart muscle contraction was suppressed towards the bottom of the heart.

The researchers found that these rats were protected from an otherwise fatal overstimulation of the heart, indicating that adrenaline acts through a different pathway from usual, and that this switch protects the heart from toxic levels of adrenaline.

The study also examined drugs that might be useful for treating Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Some beta blockers, used to treat high blood pressure, angina and heart failure, reproduced or enhanced the features of Takotsubo, giving new insights into the protective effects of these drugs. Levosimendan, a different type of drug given in heart failure to stimulate the heart without going through the adrenaline receptor pathways, had a beneficial effect.

"Adrenaline's stimulatory effect on the heart is important for helping us get more oxygen around the body in stressful situations, but it can be damaging if it goes on for too long," said Professor Sian Harding, from the National Heart and Lung Institute (NHLI) at Imperial College London, who led the study. "In patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, adrenaline works in a different way and shuts down the heart instead. This seems to protect the heart from being overstimulated."

Study co-author Dr Alexander Lyon, also from the NHLI at Imperial, and consultant cardiologist at Royal Brompton Hospital, set up one of the first specialist services in the UK to look after people who have experienced Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. "Currently it is not fully known how to treat these patients," he said. "Insights from this work show that the illness may be protecting them from more serious harm. We've identified a drug treatment that might be helpful, but the most important thing is to recognise the condition, and not to make it worse by giving patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy more adrenaline or adrenaline-like medications.

"At the Royal Brompton Hospital and Imperial College London we are leading a European initiative to bring together experts to understand this recently recognised cardiac syndrome, and we hope the findings from this work will lead to new treatment strategies for these patients during the acute phase of their illness, and to prevent recurrence."

The study was funded by the British Heart Foundation (BHF), the Wellcome Trust, the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and the Academy of Medical Sciences.

Dr Shannon Amoils, Research Advisor at the BHF, said: "This is a fascinating study which presents a possible explanation for the signs of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, a rare condition that's usually preceded by intense emotional or physical stress. Patients usually have symptoms that resemble those of a heart attack but nearly all fully recover after a short time.

"The study also provides new insights into how the heart may protect itself from stress, which opens up exciting avenues of exploration for research. We must remember though that this is a study in rats, and the findings need to be confirmed in people before we can be sure of their relevance to patients."
