Hello. My name is Dr. Robert Findling. I'm Director of the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at University Hospital at Case Medical Center and Professor of Psychiatry and Pediatrics at Case Western Reserve University. In today's posting, I'll be talking about a treatment study that was conducted in a group of teenagers who were repeatedly self-harm. This study[1] was recently published in the British Medical Journal and the first study author is J. M. Green. As viewers likely know, teenagers who self-harm are often a group that is very difficult to treat. Moreover, it's important to think about these patient populations because self-harm can be quite pernicious and often a recurring phenomenon. Moreover, self-harm is associated with psychosocial difficulties, emotional distress, human suffering, risk for suicide, poor long-term outcomes, and increased service utilization, both in the medical field, the mental health systems, school systems, and even the justice systems.

Sleep apnea: 7 Hidden Dangers
Snoring may seem comical, but obstructive sleep apnea is no joke. It can increase your risk of high blood pressure and diabetes -- and even make you more dangerous on the road.
These seven health problems are linked to obstructive sleep apnea:
- High blood pressure. Obstructive sleep apnea can contribute to high blood pressure in people who have it. The frequent nighttime wakings that plague people with sleep apnea cause hormonal systems to go into overdrive, which results in high blood pressure levels at night. Low blood-oxygen levels, caused by the cutoff of oxygen, may also contribute to hypertension in people with sleep apnea. The good news: Some people with high blood pressure who are treated for sleep apnea can cut back on their blood pressure medications.
- Heart disease. People with obstructive sleep apnea are more likely to suffer heart attacks and die in the middle of the night. The causes may be low oxygen or the stress of waking up often during sleep. Stroke and atrial fibrillation – a problem with the rhythm of the heartbeat -- are also associated with obstructive sleep apnea. The disrupted oxygen flow caused by sleep apnea makes it hard for your brain to regulate the flow of blood in arteries and the brain itself.
Job-Related Exercise Helps People Stay Healthy
May 26, 2011 -- Walking or performing physically demanding work on the job helps U.S. adults meet minimum physical activity guidelines that could lead to better health, the CDC says in a new report.
The report is based on a survey of nearly 386,400 U.S. adults who answered questions about their physical activity on and off the job.
About 64% of participants said they met minimum physical activity guidelines in their free time. That includes 68.5% of men and 60.4% of women.
Adding on-the-job physical activity pushed those percentages to about 76% for men and nearly 66% for women.
