Main Argument - The industry emphasizes the importance of assessing the senses of taste and smell, as ignoring them can lead to missing critical parts of clinical presentations [6] - The industry suggests that smell loss can be an early sign of underlying health issues, particularly neurodegenerative conditions [6][17] - The industry advocates for incorporating smell tests into routine medical checkups to enable early detection and intervention [18] Research Findings - A study in Sweden following over 2500 participants for over a decade showed that the more odors a person missed, the greater the risk of serious health decline and increased mortality, with dementia explaining nearly 25% of the increased risk [8][10] - A 2019 study in the United States following over 2200 participants for up to 13 years found that those with poor smell at the start were nearly 50% more likely to experience a serious health decline within 10 years, and this risk jumped to 62% among people who felt perfectly fine at the start [11][12] Clinical Implications - Smell loss can be an early sign of conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, sometimes appearing years before other symptoms [17] - The industry recommends that if individuals notice a sudden and persistent change in their sense of smell, they should report it to their doctor [13]

[Music] Last year I published the loves of Theodore Roosevelt, the women who created a president. And the book argues that Theodore Roosevelt, the most masculine president in the American memory, was actually the product of unsung and extraordinary women. And as I was thinking about this talk, I came across this great quote from Susan Dominus, who also just published a book on family dynamics and the secret power of siblings.Susan said, "Parents can kind of launch this arrow of ambition, but the people who ...

You heard me correctly.days. 75 days of contractions upside down, feet above my head, confined to a hospital bed labor. None of my experiences as a researcher, an educator, or a strategist could have prepared me.I learned that the energy and drive to do the seemingly impossible requires an innate strength beyond books. What I call your untaught strength. It's November 26th and I'm on my way to my first solo OB ap ...

Suprotno očekivanjima zanimljivi gradovi ne nastaju na zicerskim mjestima. Ne čini ih ni najljepša priroda ni najpitomiji ambijent postojanja. Nastaju u pustinjama, na goletima planina, u močvarama, na samom moru… Rijeka je grad na nezgodnom mjestu, a njen i nastanak i razvoj obilježili su pojedinci skloni riziku, hrabrim vizijama i učenju. Ljudevit Adamich, Robert Whitehead, nebrojeni inženjeri i graditelji, stvorili su jedini hrvatski grad koji je nosio projekt europske prijestolnice kulture, grad nevjero ...

Osobno putovanje od života punog vanjske slobode i nomadskog načina življenja do dubokog unutarnjeg iscjeljenja i spoznaje. Nakon što ju je teška bolest zaustavila i prisilila da se suoči sa sobom, krenula je na najvažnije putovanje — prema tišini i unutarnjoj slobodi. Tijekom desetodnevnog „retreata“ potpune tišine naučila je da prava sloboda ne dolazi izvana, iz mjesta ili okolnosti, nego iznutra, iz prihvaćanja, svijesti i povezivanja sa sobom. Kroz ovaj govor želi inspirirati publiku da sluša svoj unuta ...

U današnjem ubrzanom i stresnom načinu života presudno je ne prestati provjeravati živimo li u skladu s vlastitom širom slikom jer jedino iz nje možemo crpiti motivaciju i disciplinu u izazovnim trenucima te u konačnici postići toliko željene produktivnost, zdravlje i zadovoljstvo. Ja sam Tamara Kajari, certificirana profesionalna organizatorica i ime iza brenda i tvrtke SLAGALICA organiziranje. Moja strast je organiziranje, a moja misija pomaganje svima koji žele prestati robovati stvarima, vremenu i ljudi ...

Ljudi često sebe proglašavaju „lijenima“ kad volja popusti. U praksi je češći uzrok nesklad identiteta i zadataka. Kad posao dugotrajno traži ponašanja suprotna onome tko smo, energija curi, odgađamo i polako gasimo inicijativu. Govor razlaže mehanizam tog raspada: koji signali najranije upućuju na neusklađenost, gdje najviše nastaju mikrocurenja energije i koja jedna granica najčešće vraća koheziju u danu. Poanta nije motivirati, nego precizno imenovati fenomen da bismo ga mogli mijenjati. Sandro Kraljević ...

[Musica] Ehi, buonasera. Se vi dico un segreto, mi promettete che resta tra me e voi. Ho aspettato 10 anni prima di dirlo.È un peso che mi porto dentro e stasera voglio condividerlo con voi perché è diventato veramente troppo pesante. Non vi preoccupate, non chiamate la polizia, non è niente di tuttal più chiamate uno psichiatra perché il mio segreto è questo, il mio corpo, o meglio, come il mio corpo si muove ed esiste nel mondo. Non so voi, ma io sono cresciuta in una famiglia che accordava molto molta im ...

and gender empathy. I'm going to break it down for you. And what is it that we need to unlearn. We need to unlearn that we've learned for over the years again and again, years and years of our conditioning of how to look at things in a certain way.Let me ask you all a question. What comes in the way of you being able to look at an individual as an individual. Our beliefs, our assumptions, the cultural scripts that we keep learning from all our interactions on a day-to-day basis. We learn so much from our en ...
