Update on the New Clinical Pharmacology Interface

Important: Please share with your staff

Good news: For your convenience, the original/classic version and the new/updated version will be available simultaneously until March 1st. Then on March 1st, the classic version will be deactivated.

Please view the “Quick Reference” guide at:
http://clinicalpharmacology-ip.com/QRG/QRG.pdf.

Coming soon to your mailbox will be the hardcopy of the “Quick Reference” guide or you can contact your library now at 732-8538 for a hardcopy guide. Please distribute guides to appropriate staff.

May, 2007 Healthcare Topic - National Physical Fitness & Sports Month

National Physical Fitness & Sports Month

May begins National Physical fitness & Sports Month. This is a great time of the year to enjoy being active, whether you're working in your garden, hiking the trails, or playing a game of ball, it just feels good to stretch and work your muscles after the long Winter months.

"According to Melissa Johnson, executive director of the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, which started National Physical Activity and Sports Month in 1983, “Americans of all ages need to incorporate more movement in their daily lives. Adults need at least 30 minutes of activity 5 days each week. This can be done by choosing to bike or walk instead of driving, taking stairs instead of elevators, or pushing a lawnmower instead of riding one. Children need at least 60 minutes of active play daily. They need to run, climb, jump, and just get up and move around, away from their desks, the television and computer games.”

Twenty minutes of vigorous physical activity three times a week, such as sports, aerobics, working out in the gym, and running, have added health benefits. Johnson says, “But it’s important to understand that you don’t need to sweat in a gym or run a marathon to reap the health benefits of daily physical activity. Even 30 minutes a day, broken up into shorter increments of ten or fifteen minutes, can greatly improve your health.” - Press release from the President's Council on Physical Fitness & Sports.



Take a little time this month to do a little extra activity, you might be pleasantly surprised with the results.
