Sheridan Elder Research Centre (SERC)
Sheridan College Study:
"The Use of Natural Health Products in the Elderly"
by Dr. Dalya Abdulla

Go to Online Survey.

You are invited to participate in a study entitled “The Use of Natural Health Products in the Elderly” conducted by Dr. Dalya Abdulla. Dr. Abdulla is from the Faculty of Applied Health and Community Studies at the Sheridan Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning in Oakville, Ontario, and is collaborating with the Sheridan Elder Research Center (SERC) to conduct this study. You may contact Dr. Abdulla by calling (905) 459-7533 ext. 5298. Study ends August 31, 2012.

The purpose of this research project is to determine the pattern of natural health product usage among older Canadian adults. It is important to understand natural health product usage patterns among older adults to aid health care professionals in personalizing healthcare and preventing unintentional medication errors.

If you are a resident of Ontario, Canada over the age of 55, we invite you to complete this questionnaire. This survey will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. All potentially identifying information will remain completely confidential, and will be accessed only by Dr. Abdulla or by a member of the research team at SERC. You may choose to stop completion of the questionnaire at any time.

It is anticipated that the results of this study will be shared either as a peer-reviewed publication or presented in a conference. In addition, reports will be provided to participants through the older adult community centers that participated in the research.

To help you complete this survey, you will need to know what a Natural Health Product is. A Natural Health Product (abbreviated as NHP) is any sort of dietary supplement. It can include products such as vitamins, herbs, mineral supplements, botanicals, essential fatty acids, probiotics, homeopathic preparations, or product blends.

Some examples of Natural Health Products (NHPs) include: multivitamins, calcium supplements, St. John’s Wort, Echinacea, Omega 3 Oils, Acidophilus, etc.

Ask an Expert Series for Older Adults
Free Workshop

First Wednesday of Every Month

April Topic: Falls Prevention

Ask an Expert Google image from http://www.myvoiceexercises.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Ask-an-expert.jpg

Wednesday, April 4, 2012 - 1:00 - 3:00 p.m.

FREE Admission. FREE Parking.

Description:

The risk of a fall dramatically increases at 40 years of age. A fall is not only painful but can cause a long recovery process and potentially a loss of independence.

People fall because their vision has changed or they are not wearing their glasses, medication doses are not followed, inactivity and poor balance, not wearing the correct footwear for the situation and the home environment is unsafe.

The panel of “Experts” will give you tips on how to prevent a fall. You will also be given a booklet of exercises you can do at home to increase your strength and balance. You can help prevent a fall by taking action and learning more.

Each panel expert will present for 10 minutes, then 1 hour is allotted to give you a chance to “Ask an Expert”.

This month’s Panel of Experts:

The Mississauga Halton Falls Prevention Coordinator will tell you how falls happen, how to prevent them, and will also show you 10 exercises you can do at home to improve your balance and strength. Monica will also tell you what to do if you do fall.

We Care Home Health will tell you how to make your home safe and will give you an Independent Living Guide so you can assess your home.

MediChair will show you simple equipment that is available to make life easier.

Snacks will be provided by MediChair.

Also, thank you to Elham Khodeir for providing a foot care clinic.

Royal Canadian Institute (RCI) Presents:
Free Science Lecture

Dr. H. Douglas Goff image from http://www.yorku.ca/rci/Site/Winter_12.html
Dr. H. Douglas Goff

Wednesday, 4 April, 2012 - 7:30 p.m.

NOTE: This RCI lecture is on Wednesday instead of the usual Thursday.

Finding Science in Ice Cream

By H. Douglas Goff, Ph.D.
Department of Food Science, University of Guelph

"The delicious treat enjoyed by countless people as dessert and for entertaining is also a very complicated lesson in several scientific principles. This lecture will describe the manufacture of ice cream and then delve into its structure, which will involve a description of scientific principles such as colloidal stability and freezing point depression to explain how manufacturers make the optimum-quality product. Keeping that quality through the storage and distribution chain to deliver it to the consumer is an equally large challenge involving further applications of scientific principles to understand sugar glasses and ice recrystallization, all of which will be demonstrated in detail." ~ Info from The Royal Canadian Institute.

This FREE public one-hour lecture will be followed by a question period during which you can ask the scientist directly any questions that you may have.

The Royal Canadian Institute (RCI) for the Advancement of Science has provided these free public lectures since 1849. Webcasts are available at RCI Webcasts.

Midnight in Paris - Plot Summary from IMDb. "Gil and Inez travel to Paris as a tag-along vacation on her parents' business trip. Gil is a successful Hollywood writer but is struggling on his first novel. He falls in love with the city and thinks they should move there after they get married, but Inez does not share his romantic notions of the city or the idea that the 1920s was the golden age. When Inez goes off dancing with her friends, Gil takes a walk at midnight and discovers what could be the ultimate source of inspiration for writing. Gil's daily walks at midnight in Paris could take him closer to the heart of the city but further from the woman he's about to marry." ~ Written by napierslogs.

Andrew's parents, Kathleen and David, move to Labrador where the ex-girlfriend has gone. They await an arrest and trial of the murderer. They negotiate with the ex-girlfriend to visit their grandchild, Zachary, and they seek custody. Is there any justice; is Zachery a sweet and innocent consolation for the loss of their son?" ~ Written by jhailey@hotmail.com.

Wednesday, May 9, 2012 - 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.

Rated: PG, 79 min. - Comedy | Fantasy.

A man with the ability to change his appearance to adapt to his surroundings becomes an international celebrity and every psychoanalyst's dream case.

Zelig from Wikipedia. "Zelig is a 1983 American film written and directed by Woody Allen, and starring Allen and Mia Farrow. Allen plays Leonard Zelig, a nondescript enigma who, out of his desire to fit in and be liked, takes on the characteristics of strong personalities around him. The film, presented as a documentary, recounts Zelig's intense period of celebrity in the 1920s and includes analysis from present day intellectuals . . ."

Zelig - Plot Summary from IMDb. "Fictional documentary about the life of human chameleon Leonard Zelig, a man who becomes a celebrity in the 1920s due to his ability to look and act like whoever is around him. Clever editing places Zelig in real newsreel footage of Woodrow Wilson, Babe Ruth, and others." ~ Written by Scott Renshaw.

"Climate Change: Fact or Fiction?"

The debate as to the existence or not of changes in our climate attributed to human activity is becoming increasingly heated. This talk will present the basic science that determines the surface temperature of our (and other) planets and will also describe some of the changes that have been observed in our climate and the impacts that this will have both locally in the GTA region and globally.

"Active Lifestyles for Successful Aging"

Longevity has increased and the baby boom generation has started to retire. Researchers agree that maintaining an active lifestyle is a key to successful aging. Evidence has emerged indicating the benefits of physical exercise, mental exercise, and social interaction. At UTM we are learning more about how age-related sensory changes affect successful aging and how active communication may contribute to better health outcomes for older adults.

How does psychological stress ‘get under your skin’ and make you sick? Research shows that experiencing severe stress and adversity can increase the risk of chronic disease. Here at UTM we examine some mechanisms by which this happens, primarily cardiovascular and neuroendocrine regulation. We are also researching ways to refine psychological treatments to improve physical health.

Rated: R, 124 min. (Library DVD rating: PG - Length: 99 min.) - Crime | Drama | Romance.

A former tennis pro is torn by his desire for two very different women.

Match Point from Wikipedia. "Match Point is a 2005 dramatic thriller film written and directed by Woody Allen which stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Scarlett Johansson, Emily Mortimer, Matthew Goode, Brian Cox and Penelope Wilton. Rhys Meyers' character marries into a wealthy family, but his social position is threatened by an affair and the subsequent pregnancy of his brother-in-law's ex-girlfriend, played by Johansson. The film treats themes of morality, greed, and the roles of lust, money, and luck in life . . ."

Match Point - Plot Summary from IMDb. "Chris Wilton is a former tennis pro, looking to find work as an instructor. He meets Tom Hewett, a well-off pretty boy. Tom's sister Chloe falls in love with Chris but Chris has his eyes on Tom's fiancée, the luscious Nola. Both Chris and Nola know it's wrong but what could be more right than love? Chris tries to juggle both women but at some point, he must choose between them." ~ Written by Anonymous.

Match Point (2005) - Film Review from Decent Films Guide: "The first shot in Woody Allen's Match Point is meant to serve as a metaphorical ... Chris meets someone who unexpectedly brings out the full unmoderated force of his powerful serve and desires: Nola Rice (Scarlett Johannson), a competitive American beauty whom Chris meets over a Ping-Pong table. After taking the most direct route to ending their very short first volley, Chris proceeds with equal directness to put some other moves on Nola."

"There are only four kinds of people in the world:
those who have been caregivers;
those who are currently caregivers;
those who will be caregivers;
and those who will need caregivers."
~ Quote from former First Lady of the United States:
Rosalynn Carter

Carepartner Workshop Series

These workshops are an opportunity to focus on your needs as a carepartner and how to promote your own health and wellbeing.

Discussion topics to include:

● Sharing your experience and feelings
● Problem solving with others
● Learning to reach out and accept help
● Navigating Community Resources / Services - Making the "system" work for you
● Stress Busters / Therapeutic approaches to self care
● Coping skills and strategies for coping with the unpredictability of Parkinson's Disease
● Coping with changes in behaviors
● Other Topics.

Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson's is a neurodegenerative disease, which is neither fatal nor contagious. It results in many symptoms, which include tremor, regidity, slowness and impaired balance. This happens because of a lack of dopamine in the brain.

Dopamine is a chemical that helps control movement, by carrying signals between nerves of the brain. When cells that normally produce dopamine die, the symptoms of Parkinson's appear.

Carepartners

As the carepartner of a person with Parkinson's, we would like to offer you an opportunity to share your experiences with other carepartners, to learn more about strategies to reduce caregiver strain, to receive support from others, and develop strategies for promoting your own health and wellbeing.

You are the "head, heart and hands" of most ongoing care within your family and within our society. Your role is extremely important to the life and wellbeing of your family member with significant health concerns.

Contact Karen Dowell

If you are interested in attending this workshop for partners of people with Parkinson's, please call Karen Dowell: 1-800-565-3000 ext. 3376

It is an “ever changing”, “yet familiar” experience. As Irene Violette, a loyal Festival visitor for more than 13 years, said, “Carassauga is just a fun time. You get to visit Around the World for $10. You get to learn about different cultures, meet nice people and try different foods. Every year, each Pavilion has something different for visitors to appreciate about their culture.”

Many Pavilions return year after year. The Pavilions of Portugal, Philippines, India, Croatia and Greece are five of the original participants that still participate today. This year the Festival welcomes three exciting new Pavilions: Serbia, Egypt and Caribbean.

Nothing is more Canadian than people of many cultures sharing their heritage and traditions with great pride. We hope your time at Carassauga leaves you with a broader understanding of the people around you, along with a deeper appreciation of this diverse City and great country of ours.
