We are trying to understand the steps that lead to this. Sheldon E. Litwin, M.D., cardiologist and associate professor of internal medicine, is the five-yegrant. Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, regulates the hearts ability to metabolize fatty acids, glucose, proteins, and other substances. As the heart becomes less responsive to insulin, the pattern of metabolism changes in heart muscle cells, leading to a buildup of potentially toxic substances. This can lead to enlargement of the heart and reduce its ability to recover from heart attacks. With obesity increasing at an on ar alarming rate, heart problems, Moab 259-598- 1 fax Agents: John Fogg Gianne Fosse Renee Lance www insuremoab com along with diabetes, have increased markedly. If the researchers find that faulty responses of heart cells to insulin contribute to heart problems, treatments may be developed to improve the ability of insulin to act in the heart, Abel said. l.c.v,!imTTOyml Canyonlands Realty 131 North Main 435-259-78- Although positive birds in other states have been American crows, infections also have been confirmed in many other species, including game birds.

There is no substitute for parental supervision, says Keller. An analysis of the states drowning data for the years 20002002 shows 51 percent of childhood drowning deaths occur in lakes, rivers, streams and canals, and 15 percent occur in bath tubs. Bath tub drownings are very preventable, said Keller. In nearly every case, they happen because the parent leaves the room for just a minute, and the child goes under. road.

Even though your 6- 7- - or may seem mature, children that age arent often developmental ready to know when a sibling is in trouble in the water, said UDOH Deputy Director Scott Williams. In Utah, more than half (56 percent) of drowning victims are less than 6 years old. Adolescents ages account for 23 percent of drownings, and most were trying to swim a long distance in an open body of water when they drowned. The key to drowning prevention outdoors is personal flotation devices (PFDs). No one should ever board a boat without one on. Parents should know that floaties, swim rings and other water play toys are just that toys and will not prevent drowning. We know children think PFDs are too confining, said Keller. But confined is better than dead. So put a PFD on every child, even if they are just playing at the waters edge, because you never know when theyll wander away or when a dangerous current is just a few feet from shore.
