NEW YORK, NY, June 22, 2012 (Press-News.org) Inspired by new industry partnerships and product launches, the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) has announced an expansion of the organization's educational programs. According to a new article from The Wall Street Journal, the NASM's Live Events team is preparing to launch a series of workshops for working professionals who want to learn through live activities. Set to begin this summer, the workshops offer a promising chance for new and veteran sports medicine professionals to learn about unexplored topics. Dr. Marvell Scott is a sports medicine expert and a proponent of continuing education; he believes NASM programs should be taken advantage of by every eager student.
The article explains the set of new programs that NASM will provide. The Golf Fitness program, inspired by a previous Golf Fitness Specialist Course offered by NASM, will allow individuals to observe and take part in the related areas of sports medicine that apply to the sport. Although a very different activity, NASM is also prepared to launch its Mixed Martial Arts Conditioning workshop, in response to the successful Mixed Martial Arts Conditioning Specialist program that was launched this June.
NASM has a long history of sports medicine education that offers an array of options for students and working professionals alike. The organization has programs that provide certification, bachelor and master degrees. While the above programs are designed to provide continuing education units to students, the article notes that they "pique the interest of health and fitness professionals to expand their current knowledge into areas they may not have been aware."
It is this commitment to continuing education that Dr. Marvell Scott is so adamant about and promotes in his field of medicine. He believes these programs will not only get new professionals more involved, but will also reinvigorate seasoned doctors to observe new trends and approaches in sports medicine. Dr. Marvell Scott makes sure to continually attend a wide array of programs that will further his already established working knowledge. He says, "Continuing education is crucial in the world of Sports Medicine. I personally go to as many seminars across the country as I can to learn the newest techniques in sports prevention and rehabilitation as well as training."
For Dr. Marvell Scott, the most important element of NASM's new workshops is its response to new products, technologies and services. Any medical practitioner who stays aware of these trends is able to provide the best informed care to their patients. Using his own practice as an example, he notes, "Having this knowledge and the newest technology, such as the Power Plate or Alter-G, in our facilities gives us the best edge to give our patients the care they deserve."

Research shows how racial and gender profiling can affect outcome of traffic stops
2012-06-22
MANHATTAN, KAN. -- Racial profiling has gained national attention in recent years, and a Kansas State University researcher is finding that it can involve an additional factor: gender.
Jeremy Briggs, doctoral candidate in sociology, Topeka, is analyzing police actions during routine traffic stops to understand how race and gender are connected. Perhaps one of his most significant findings is that black and Hispanic women are just as likely as white men to be ticketed, arrested or searched during a traffic stop.
"Racial profiling has really come back into political discussions, ...
Focusing on water for Central Everglades essential to reversing whole ecosystem's continuing decline
2012-06-22
WASHINGTON — Twelve years into a multibillion-dollar state and federal effort to save the Florida Everglades, little progress has been made in restoring the core of the ecosystem, says a new congressionally mandated report from the National Research Council. Expedited restoration projects that improve the quality and amount of water in this area are necessary to reverse ongoing declines. A new federal pilot project offers an innovative approach to this challenge, although additional analysis is needed to maximize restoration benefits within existing legal constraints. ...
Lab-engineered kidney project reaches early milestone
2012-06-22
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – June 21, 2012 – Regenerative medicine researchers at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center have reached an early milestone in a long-term project that aims to build replacement kidneys in the lab to help solve the shortage of donor organs.
In proof-of-concept research published online ahead of print in Annals of Surgery, the team successfully used pig kidneys to make "scaffolds" or support structures that could potentially one day be used to build new kidneys for human patients. The idea is to remove all animal cells – leaving only the organ structure ...
Mayo Clinic: Common blood pressure drug linked to severe GI problems

The findings are published online today in the medical journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings.
From 2008-11, Mayo Clinic physicians treated 22 patients with symptoms similar to celiac disease, including intestinal inflammation and abnormalities. Patients came from 17 states, ...
Parents – not TV – may determine whether kids are active or couch potatoes
2012-06-22
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Researchers at Oregon State University have confirmed what we knew all along – children in this country are increasingly sedentary, spending too much time sitting and looking at electronic screens.
But it's not necessarily because of the newest gee-whiz gadgets – parents play a major factor in whether young children are on the move.
In two studies out online today in a special issue of the journal Early Child Development and Care devoted to "Parental Influences of Childhood Obesity," OSU researchers examined how parenting style – whether a strict but ...

AGU: Elephant seals help uncover slower-than-expected Antarctic melting
2012-06-22
WASHINGTON - Don't let the hobbling, wobbling, and blubber fool you into thinking elephant
seals are merely sluggish sun bathers. In fact, scientists are benefiting from these seals'
surprisingly lengthy migrations to determine critical information about Antarctic melting and
future sea level rise.
A team of scientists have drilled holes through an Antarctic ice shelf, the Fimbul Ice Shelf, to
gather the first direct measurements regarding melting of the shelf's underside. A group of
elephant seals, outfitted with sensors that measure salinity, temperature, ...
Study examines use of a natural language processing tool for electronic health records in assessing colonoscopy quality
2012-06-22
OAK BROOK, Ill. – JUNE 21, 2012 – A new study shows that natural language processing programs can "read" dictated reports and provide information to allow measurement of colonoscopy quality in an inexpensive, automated and efficient manner. The quality variation observed in the study within a single academic hospital system reinforces the need for routine quality measurement. The study appears in the June issue of GIE: Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, the monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE).

Exercise program improved health of lung transplant patients and cut cardiovascular risk
2012-06-22
Lung transplant patients who took part in a three-month structured exercise program when they were discharged from hospital improved their health-related quality of life and reduced their risk of cardiovascular problems.
Those are the key findings of research published in the American Journal of Transplantation.
"People who have received lung transplants often have weak muscles and limited endurance due to their sedentary lifestyle before their transplant and the drugs they need to take after surgery," explains lead author Dr. Daniel Langer, a Belgian expert in respiratory ...
