The History Of ADHD Goes Back Way Further Than Just The Last Few Decades

When it comes to the history of adhd many people think that this is a modern disorder that has not been around for very many years. Yet people like Albert Einstein, Pablo Picasso, and even Christopher Columbus are all suspected of having had this very common disorder. While there was no way of diagnosing them and no treatment was available it is believed from written documentation that they had the symptoms we now associate with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

Upon researching the history of adhd one discovers that the first person who ever described the disorder in the way in which has come to be accepted and understood was a doctor by the name of Heinrich Hoffman. Dr. Hoffman came up with this term as far back as 1845 when he was a physician. He concentrated much of his time and efforts to compiling and writing books about medicine and psychiatry.

Dr. Hoffman loved to write poetry as well as stories for children. He enjoyed this pastime as a way of occupying himself when he could not obtain reading material that he considered to be suitable for his son who was only three years old. From these literary efforts came Dr. Hoffman's Book of Poems and it boasted everything from poetry for children to art. The book was special because of the way that it focused so closely on the characteristics of children which, at that time in history, was all but unheard of. A story in the book called The Story of Fidgety Philip is startling in its incredibly accurate albeit entertaining description of a young boy called Philip who, if he lived and breathed today, would be diagnosed with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

Completely Integrating Electronic Health Records in a Practice

Electronic health records software can be one of the greatest things to revolutionize the healthcare industry if utilized correctly. In the beginning, physicians were hesitant to adopt electronic health records because they anticipated lower production and a hindrance in the way they deliver patient care. Electronic Health Records Software and Practice Management Software offer numerous benefits for your staff and patients. However, changing the way your office currently operates is a big task and everyone within your office should have the same collective focus. Below are some tips to effectively get the most out of your new system.After using paper-based medical records, they felt the transition to a paper-less office was virtually impossible. Some physicians have failed to realize that electronic health records can offer simplified processes and eliminate redundant procedures, if they only maximize on the potential the software can offer them. In order to experience the full benefits of electronic health records software, physicians must identify the areas where they see improvement and what they want to gain from the software. Many physicians desire to have more time, either personal or for their patients. Some of the common issues effecting their time are the redundant processes administered by physicians and their staff. State-of-the art electronic health records software can overcome this obstacle with proper implementation and utilization. Lab results that needed to be faxed or mailed (one of the more time consuming methods) can be sent and received electronically. These same electronic copies offer a format that can be used by several physicians, reducing the time for referring physicians as well as the physician that submitted the order. In addition, specialty specific physicians may have the option to integrate their Electronic Health Records with medical devices. Results from an EKG can be imported into the patient's chart electronically, saving valuable time spent by someone to document the results. Continuing to use the same paper-based records, physicians will continue to feel as though there is no improvement to the way they operate. Through the use of electronic health records software, physicians can operate on a more efficient level and deliver better patient care.

Help! Do We Have To Re-Think What Helps?

Hot dogs – and other processed meats – help our budget, but they don't help our health. That's according to the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and several studies support that. A 2007 study using data from the American Institute for Cancer Research and the World Cancer Research Fund found eating 50 grams of processed meat (1 hot dog) daily increased colorectal cancer risk 21%. A 2005 University of Hawaii study linked eating processed meats to a 67% increase in pancreatic cancer risk. It's estimated the average American eats 32 pounds of processed pork yearly. However, 32 pounds sounds like "porking out".

Colon cleaning doesn't help. Whether your colon is flushed with water or you take something orally, whether it's done in a spa or at home, your body isn't cleansed of toxins. Despite the continued popularity of colon cleansing, the American Medical Association determined in the early 1900's the procedure didn't work. More recently a study published in the Journal of Family Practice examined 20 studies published in the past 10 years and found colon cleansing can cause cramping, bloating, nausea, vomiting, electrolyte imbalance, renal failure, aplastic anemia, liver toxicity and kidney failure. Instead, doctors recommend we "come clean" naturally.

Not even crying helps. In a study published in the Journal of Research in Personality, 97 women – ages 18-48 – kept a daily diary for 2-3 months. If they cried, they kept further details – such as reason for crying, duration, location and whether others were present. After analyzing the 1,004 crying episodes, researchers found the average episode was about conflict, loss or seeing others suffer; lasted 8 minutes; and took place in the living room alone or with one other person. However, 61% of the participants didn't feel better after crying and 9% felt worse. They might as well have "cried uncle".

However, red wine does help –in more than one way. Previous studies have linked resveratrol in red wine to lowering bad cholesterol (LDL) and protecting blood vessel linings. The chemical resveratrol has also been shown to stave off detrimental effects of inactivity. Now a study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry has found the flavonoids in red wine help prevent skin from forming "reactive oxygen species". It's the ROS's that react with UV rays to destroy cells and cause sunburn. Although the same benefits can be found in red wine grapes, I'd rather drink to my health.
