| | | NHF12-105 | | Weighty Matters: Overweight with a Bleeding Disorder? Why It Matters and What We Can Do About It Speakers: Ruth Mulvany, DPT, MS, PT This session reviews current research on prevalence and impact of overweight conditions in patients with bleeding disorders. We analyze the biomechanical stress of weight loading on joints and multiple body systems, and will review how being overweight adversely affects people with bleeding disorders even more than the average population. Examples of calculations for biomechanical stress are given. Research on weight-loss strategies will be reviewed and participants will develop at least one strategy for counseling/patient education, safe exercise for fitness, wellness and weight loss, motivation and promotion of self-management. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |

Like the broader toolbox of smart-growth concepts and strategies, the techniques and capabilities of GIS are advancing and emerging. GIS can intertwine complex details of demographic, geographic and urban design factors that communities can use to easily analyze and visualize the implications of alternative development scenarios. With GIS we can 'see' what and how possible solutions work. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |
