  • What Critics Say- What Facts
    What Critics of Fluoride Say & What the Facts Say Opponents of water fluoridation make a lot of claims that are at odds with the facts. This document provides examples of what critics say, followed up with what the facts say. For each topic, a “Learn more” link can provide you with more detailed information. 1. Critics Say: “The FDA has never approved fluoride’s use in drinking water.”! THE FACTS: The FDA does not have the authority to regulate fluoride in public drinking water. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) performs this role, and it sets firm guidelines for the amount of fluoride. The concentration of fluoride used for water fluoridation is far below the limit established by the EPA. Learn more. 2. Critics Say: “A Harvard study showed that fluoride lowers IQ scores for children.” THE FACTS: It wasn't a Harvard study. It was a group of studies from China and Iran, where water fluoridation isn't even practiced. These studies were seriously flawed for several reasons—mostly because they measured fluoride levels that were far higher than the levels we use for fluoridation in America. A far better study with a much larger sample was published in 2014 by the American Journal of Public Health, and this study showed there was no link at all between fluoride in water and IQ scores. Learn more 3. Critics Say: “We deserve natural water. Nothing should be added to our water supply in order to medicate us.” THE FACTS: Fluoride is a mineral that exists naturally in water supplies.

  • Sports Hydration
    Sports Hydration: ‘07 Originally presented as Endurance Sports, Rehydration, Cerebral Edema and Death at NEAFS (Northeastern Association of Forensic Scientists) Annual Meeting, Rye Brook NY, November 2, 2006 James Wesley M.S. Forensic Chemist, Clinical Toxicologist, Rochester, NY Two Page Executive Summary For the past 40 years, endurance athletes have been told to “drink as much fluid as you can tolerate” during their sporting event. Since the late 1960’s, research, discussion and sports hydration have focused solely on the prevention of dehydration and its medical consequences. The deaths of several mostly female marathon athletes and the hospitalization of many others from cerebral edema due to excessive fluid consumption caused sports physicians to recommend reducing the fluids consumed from 1000-1200 ml per hour to 400-800 ml per hour. We discuss cerebral edema, dehydration, fluid recommendations, sports drink formulations and finish with suggestions for fluid, sodium and carbohydrate consumption during endurance events. Research has shown that depending on the temperature, humidity and overall conditioning, athletes engaged in vigorous exercise can lose 1500-3500 ml of sweat and 1300-5000 mg of sodium per hour. Several studies have also demonstrated that on average, women lose much less fluid through sweat than men, an average of 450-570 ml per hour compared to 780-1120 ml per hour for men. This is important because it appears that most cases of cerebral edema have been women running a 5 hour + marathon, who are drinking more liquids than they are sweating out. The kidneys control the retention and excretion of water and sodium in order to keep the body in a state of fluid balance, indicated by the overall combined levels of dissolved salts, sugar and other solids called the osmolality.

  • How Efficacious and How Practical Are Personal Health Protection Measures Recommended to Reduce Morbidity and Mortality During Heat Episodes? Madeline O’Connor, M.D
    O’Connor M, Kosatsky T 1 Systematic review: How efficacious and how practical are personal health protection measures recommended to reduce morbidity and mortality during heat episodes? Madeline O’Connor, M.D. and Tom Kosatsky, M.D. With the collaboration of Lynn Rusimovic, M.D. D.S.P. de Montréal (Montréal Public Health) For Ouranos (the Consortium on Regional Climatology and Adaptation to Climate Change) and The National Collaborating Centre for Environmental Health (NCCEH) February 28, 2008 Production of this document has been made possible through a financial contribution from the Public Health Agency of Canada through the National Collaborating Centre for Environmental Health. The views expressed herein do not necessarily represent the views of the Public Health Agency of Canada or the National Collaborating Centre for Environmental Health. O’Connor M, Kosatsky T 2 Abstract: In this review we aim to establish what health protective advice is offered by public health and civil protection authorities in general and specifically during heat episodes. We have evaluated the incoherencies and discrepancies of health messages given by various sources and critically assessed the efficacy of this advice by reviewing current evidence supporting these measures on the basis of observational studies and from the physiology of heat response. Firstly, we performed an internet search intended to replicate the results found by a typical member of the general public looking for local heat health advice from local health departments of or more authoritative sources in anticipation of a coming heat wave, or during one. We identified 60 public health, disaster relief, weather service, and patient advocacy websites between June 2006 and March 2007 and 44 documents were identified which gave heat-specific health advice.

  • The Sum of Standardized Residuals: Goodness of Fit Test for Binary Response Model
    The Sum of Standardized Residuals: Goodness of Fit Test for Binary Response Model Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lu Chen, B.S Graduate Program in Public Health The Ohio State University 2017 Thesis Committee: Grzegorz A. Rempala, Advisor Chuck Song c Copyright by Lu Chen 2017 Abstract Binary response model is frequently used to analyze binary outcome variables [1]. This popularity leads to an increase in statistical research on the model [1]. One area of current research is developing new goodness of fit (GOF) tests to evaluate whether a model fits the data [1]. In this paper, a new GOF test statistic, the sum of standardized residuals (Cn), is proposed and its asymptotic distribution is described by following Windmeijer's idea [2]. In addition, we illustrate, via numerical examples, the practical applications of the asymptotic result to some finite samples of size n and compare Cn's performance with some other currently used statistics. Our results demonstrate that, compared to other statistics, the overall performance of Cn is satisfying and stable, and Cn can be calculated easily and interpreted intuitively, unlike its other competitors. ii Vita 2014 . .B.S.

It is a potenti ally serious complicati on of marathons, triathlons, and ultradistance events, and can occur in hot and cold environments.

PAGE 2 OF 360 INTRODUCTION THE BUSINESS OF SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT 2014-15 EDITION PREFACE One of the greatest values of an “elective” course like sports and entertainment marketing is its ability to transform the classroom into a dynamic atmosphere where progressive “new age” learning can take place while reinforcing the same academic standards students learn within the confines of a generic business or marketing class. The examples used to support each lesson resonate on a different level for students thanks to course content that most students take a genuine interest in. Unfortunately, many instructors today wishing to integrate elective studies into the classroom face the inevitable challenge of being handcuffed by severe budget constraints. Sports Career Consulting, LLC (SCC) understands the current budget crises and is empathetic to the needs of the school system.
