| In Memorium
|
|
It was with sadness that
we heard of the death of Stella A. Zielinski, mother of long time
member, David Zielinski. She died December 15, 2002, We offer our
condolences to David and his family.
"And if I go
While you're still here
Know that I live on,
Vibrating to a different measure
behind a veil we cannot see through.
You will not see me
So you must have faith.
I wait for the time when we can soar together again,
-- both aware of each other.
Until then, live your life to its fullest and when you need me
Just whisper my name in your heart
--- I will be there".

NYC College of
Technology graduate Students in
Spring 2003
|
NYC College of Technology plan
to graduate about 25 students this coming spring. The dental
technology degree course covers all aspects of dental technology
disciplines that include morphology, ceramics, C&B, complete
and partial dentures, and orthodontics as well as principles of
occlusion. The college states that all students graduate
with a strong foundational knowledge of all procedures of
technology. During training, they attend lectures in theory and
hands-on applications in laboratory settings. Prof. Philip Russo
said the combination produces students that are educationally well
rounded, and adapt quickly to the commercial dental laboratory
environment. "As a result" he continues, "the
department consistently experience 100% job placement
rating". If any LIDLA member lab anticipates a hiring
need for these entry level graduates, or need more information,
call
[718] 260-5137.

Getting quick treatment in Heart
Attacks is vital
An 'up-dated" checklist is published on symptoms of Heart
attack and Strokes.
We thought you might to have it.
Signs of a Heart Attack:
*Moderate to severe chest discomfort, a squeezing sensation, heavy
pressure on the chest, fullness, heaviness of pain.
*Pain in one or both arms, neck, jaw, or stomach.
*Shortness of breath.
[Continued next column]

*Breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea,
and/or light-
headedness [women seem to experience a heart attack's milder
symptoms first] which may explain their high mortality rate.
*Cardiac arrest, loss of consciousness.
Stroke: Known as a "brain attack" is sudden
disturbance of blood flow in the brain, usually due to a clot in a
cerebral artery.
Some sudden on-set signs are:
*Weakness or numbness on one side of the body.
*Loss of vision or blurred sight in one or both eyes.
*Confusion, speech impairment, or difficulty understanding speech.
*Sudden, severe headache with no known cause.
*Dizziness, loss of balance or coordination.
Blood Pressure: A normal healthy BP hovers around 120/80., the
higher number reflecting peak pressure whey the heart contracts
[systolic], and the lower number measuring pressure when the heart
relaxes [diastolic]. Actual cause of high BP is unknown in
95% of cases.
However, many factors can elevate BP such as: obesity, high
alcohol use, high salt intake, aging and perhaps sedentary
lifestyle, stress, low potassium intake and low calcium intake.
