Q. What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
A. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO) is defined as a treatment mode in which the patient is entirely enclosed in a pressure chamber breathing oxygen at a pressure greater than one atmosphere. Breathing 100 percent oxygen at one atmosphere or applying oxygen outside a pressurized chamber are not considered hyperbaric oxygenation.
Q. What is a monoplace hyperbaric chamber?
A. A monoplace chamber is one in which only one patient is placed, and pressurized oxygen is introduced into the entire chamber. Access to the patient is made from the outside via ports and pass-throughs.
Q. How does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy work?
A. Significant physiological mechanisms, which are activated as a result of hyperbaric oxygenation, explain the many therapeutic results of HBO:
1. Hyperoxygenation:
HBO physically dissolves extra oxygen into the blood plasma. The breathing of pure oxygen at three times normal pressure (3 A.T.A.) delivers 15 times as much physically dissolved oxygen to tissues as breathing room air. This promotes formation of new capillaries into wound areas, and sufficient oxygen tensions to meet the needs of ischemic tissues. Hyperoxygenation effects are useful in the treatment of anemias, ischemias and some poisonings.
2. Mechanical effect of increased pressure:
Any free gas trapped in the body will decrease in volume as the pressure on it increases. With a threefold increase in pressure, a bubble trapped in the body is reduced by two-thirds. This reduction in gas volume has been successfully applied to air embolism and decompression sickness.
3. Mass action of gases (gas wash out):
The flooding of the body with any one gas tends to "wash out" all others. This action occurs more rapidly under pressure than under ordinary conditions, and makes HBO an indicated treatment for carbon monoxide intoxication and acute cyanide poisoning.
4. Vasoconstriction:
High pressure oxygen causes constriction of the blood vessels (without creating hypoxia) which decreases edema in injured tissues and secondarily decreases intracranial pressure. This effect is useful in burns, crush injuries and interstitial bleeding. It may also be effective in acute brain and spinal cord injuries.
5. Bacteriostasis:
HBO inhibits the growth of a number of anaerobic as well as aerobic organisms. This effect also complements the improved action of host disease-fighting factors. It is useful in conditions where resistance factors are compromised such as dysvascular conditions and disorders involving immunosuppression.*

A successful research endeavor results in the accumulation of reams of paper. Failure to organize the documents, however, can stunt the growth of what otherwise might have become a healthy family tree.
In last week's column I suggested that following a seven-step research process could train family historians to be methodical and approach research in an organized process.
This whole topic began when a reader asked for a resource to help her organize. There are plenty of commercial software products that guarantee to help you organize anything. But the truth is that every computer comes equipped with most of what you need to organize your documents.
I do recommend that you purchase genealogy software (FamilyTreeMaker, Roots Magic, Legacy, Reunion, etc.) to help you organize your information. More about that later.
Every computer has a folder called "Documents" or "My Documents." Picture that folder as a virtual filing cabinet, and we're going to put individual file folders into various drawers.
Under "Documents" create a subfolder and label it "Genealogy." Inside that folder create a separate folder for each surname you are researching. Exactly how you organize and label from this point can vary depending on personal preferences.
Under each surname, there will be various folders. Here are some of the folders I create for each surname:
Background: This is where I drop materials I find from a variety of sources This folder is filled with anything that explains or helps me understand my ancestor and the times and places in which he lived and worked. I might copy and drop snippets from websites or pages I scan from books at a library. Don't forget to record the source information onto the copies or scans!
Cemeteries: Sometimes we find surveys that record all the graves in a cemetery where our ancestors are buried. I copy and drop them into this file — the website might disappear so I don't want to assume it will be there when I need it again.
Emails: Under this folder are many other subfolders, each with the name of the relative writing to me. I give each email a new title that will be meaningful to me. For example, Mary Dawsey sends several emails about an old letter she discovered. I create a folder labeled "Mary Dawsey" and within that her emails would be "Michael Dawsey Letter 1" and "Michael Dawsey Letter 2," etc.
Family Folders: Keep in mind that the main folder in which we're working carries the family surname. Now I create a folder for each individual person I discover. As I collect documents and materials about that person, I can quickly and easily drop them into this file. With each document is the transcript that I discussed in last week's column. If a person is a key figure in research, I likely will collect many and varied documents about him. It keeps me organized to create additional subfolders for him to include things like "Censuses," "Land," "Military" and "Probate."
Photographs: If a photograph is of a single person, I place it in his individual person file of the family folders. But if the photograph is of a group of people, I place it in this separate file. If people have different surnames, I might label it as "Family and Friends of Michael Dawsey."
Research Plans: Last week, I explained the important role planning plays in keeping research organized. Those plans deserve their own folder — it also makes it easy to quickly access them when an opportunity for a research trip unexpectedly presents itself.
To Be Processed: This is sort of a dump folder. Rather than have loose paper piles all around, scan what isn't already digitized and drop it into this folder where it can safely sit until you have time to process it. Used properly, this file will keep you organized. Abuse it and it becomes just a hodgepodge of things you never get around to — leading to that state of disorganization we're trying to avoid.
Experience has taught me that genealogy software is not the center of the universe. I don't try to use all the bells and whistles it provides. I use it simply to organize the individuals and how they relate to one another.
By entering the key events and dates (such as birth, marriage, military service, appearance in censuses, migration routes and dates, etc.), I can use this software to give me a quick overview of the key times in each person's life and see his parents and his children.
The system I describe here works well for me. An identical system won't work for everyone, but I can pretty much guarantee you that if you faithfully use this or a similar system you'll stay organized.
WHY WE GET OLD
Cellular aging, or senescence, is the process by which a cell becomes old and dies. It is due to the shortening of chromosomal telomeres to the point that the chromosome reaches a critical length. Cellular aging is analogous to a wind up clock. If the clock stays wound, a cell becomes immortal and constantly produces new cells. If the clock winds down, the cell stops producing new cells and dies. Our cells are constantly aging. Being able to make the body's cells live forever certainly creates some exciting possibilities. Telomerase research could therefore yield important discoveries related to the aging process.

The way we respond to stress has a bigger impact on our health than we previously thought. In 2009, the Nobel Prize in Medicine went to Elizabeth Blackburn, Carol Greider and Jack Szostak, who discovered a link between chronic emotional stress and telomerase (an enzyme responsible for repairing telomeres - the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes in cells that control aging).
Sauna and steam-baths cleanse the body and relax the mind by generating abundant sweat. This is achieved with a 10-20 minute session in a room warmed to 180+ degrees Fahrenheit.
However, relaxation and contentment are not the only health benefits sauna is offering. The heat releases poisons so that your body is able to get rid of them via perspiration. During a sauna session, we go through artificial fever state, which stimulates the immune system and supports the body's natural healing process. Plus, the increased blood flow to subcutaneous and surface tissue gradually improves the quality of the skin.
In modern society, the impact of breathing on our health goes largely unnoticed. It's a shame because when you breathe correctly, your body reacts in many positive ways.
Deep breathing reduces high blood pressure, raises our energy levels, relaxes muscles and improves athletic performance. It also helps us release tension and reverse the body's fight & flight reaction to stressful situations - no health club membership required.
Many people view massages as luxury splurges with no real health benefit. That is, however, far from the truth. This hands-on healing is terrific for removing blockages as well as for dealing with stress, migraines and neck pain. Another wonderful side benefit of massage is improved quality of sleep.
Both everyday experience and scientific research suggest that there are few things you can do to impact your life more powerfully and profoundly than learning how to cope with everyday stress. All you need to do is take the first step by taking enough time to slow down and relax.

Angels
Angels are messengers of God in the Hebrew and Christian Bibles along with the Quran. The English word angel is derived from the Greek γγελος, a translation of (mal'akh) in the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh); a similar term, (Mal� Ä«kah), is used in the Qur'an. The Hebrew and Greek words originally mean messenger, and depending on the context may refer either to a human messenger (possibly a prophet or priest, such as Malachi, "my messenger", but also for more mundane characters, as in the Greek superscription that the Book of Malachi was written "by the hand of his messenger" (€γγήλου)) or to a supernatural messenger,[1] such as the "Mal'akh YHWH," who (depending on interpretation) is either a messenger from God,[2] an aspect of God (such as the Logos),[3] or God Himself as the messenger (the "theophanic angel.")[1][4]
The term "angel" has also been expanded to various notions of spiritual beings found in many other religious traditions. Other roles of angels include protecting and guiding human beings, and carrying out God's tasks.

The first sighting came in the early 1960s. A woman was driving along Route 2, near the Ohio River, with her father. As she neared the Chief Cornstalk Hunting Grounds, a large man-shaped figure walked out onto the road. As the woman slowed her car, the figure spread two large wings and took off. Ironically, the witness did not report the incident - "Who would believe us, anyway?"
The first sighting which received publicity, though, was one in 1965. A woman living near the Ohio River related how her son had told her one day of seeing "an angel" outside. She thought nothing more of it until about a year later.
In the summer of 1966, a doctor's wife in the same general area said that she had seen a six-foot long thing resembling a "giant butterfly". On November 12, five gravediggers (how appropriate a profession!) saw something which looked like a "brown human being" fly out of the trees near Clendenin. One of the witnesses, Kenneth Duncan, said that they watched the creature for almost a minute.
On the 14th of the month, Salem resident Newell Partridge saw two red objects hovering above a field. His German Shepherd, Bandit, took off into the field and was never seen by Partridge again.
The next night, Mr. and Mrs. Roger Scarberry and Mr. and Mrs. Steve Mallette were driving near the "TNT Area", near the town of Point Pleasant. A tall figure stood by the side of the road. "It was shaped like a man, but bigger," said Mr. Scarberry. "Maybe six and a half or seven feet tall. And it had big wings folded against its back." His wife commented on its huge red eyes, "like automobile reflectors."
Mr. Scarberry, who was driving, took off in his car at "better than a hundred miles per hour," the figure spread its wings and flew after the car. It didn't seem to flap its wings at all, and its wingspan was over ten feet. Mrs. Mallette said that it made a squeaking sound, "like a big mouse." The four also noted that a dead dog had been lying by the side of the road, but was gone when they returned.
They went to the offices of the Mason County sheriff and reported their sighting. Deputy Millard Halstead returned to the TNT Area with the four, and said that as he passed the spot where they had initially seen the figure, his police radio made a sound similar to a speeded-up record.
The TNT Area, which seemed to be a sort of home for the "Mothman," as it was quickly dubbed by the press, is a large tract of land. Small concrete "igloos" dot the landscape, used during World War II to store ammunition. The TNT Area is adjacent to the 2,500 acre McClintic Wildlife Station. The entire area is covered with dense forest, steep hills, and riddled with tunnels...
HOW ARE YOU?
What do you do when you feel sick or unhealthy?
Do you ask, "What can I do to feel better?
Who do you ask?
How do you search the Internet?
What sites do you visit to get the answer?
FOLLOW ME!
When I was in the service the first command was, "Follow me!"
If you are a leader, you need the respect of your company, and they need to be able to follow you whenever you ask them.
If you do research, you need to read up on the topic. To master your subject, you need to find the "authority" on the subject, and see what they say about your problem.
For Example
If you have a headache, you need to see what type of headache it is. You need to know what others do to become better. The latest Migraine treatment is taking am asprin, a tylenol and a cup of coffee or two tablets of the migraine formula.
