The Silent Struggle of Cancer Patients During a Pandemic

Archive, COVID Blog, December, Month

Receiving a diagnosis of an illness can cause many complex emotions to surface, especially when it comes to cancer. These patients may experience anger, fear, anxiety and even depression, which often deepens a sense of loneliness. These are normal reactions to have, but in 2020 they are further complicated by COVID-19. Currently, cancer patients - whether they are just learning of their diagnosis or have been receiving treatment – are also trying to cope with a pandemic that requires them to socially distance from family and friends.

“This pandemic is not tangible. We can’t grab hold of it and organize it in a way that makes life easier,” explained Samarea Lenore, Ph.D., Clinical Health Psychology Fellow at McLaren Flint, who also sees patients at Karmanos Cancer Institute at McLaren Flint. “There is continued uncertainty around the coronavirus. This further stimulates anxieties with patients already struggling with complex medical concerns that feel out of their control.”

This could mean, increased feelings of panic, doubt, fears and frustration. These can be added stressors to the loneliness that a cancer patient may already be feeling, further increasing the risk of depression and further compromising physical health.

“Depression is anger turned inward. It’s that constant thinking about ‘if onlys’, reflecting back with grief, regrets and nurturing self-doubt,” said Dr. Lenore. “Over the last few months, there has been an increase in feelings of anxiety and fear in our patients who have been receiving treatment for cancer, because of the added risks of infection from COVID-19.”

Dr. Lenore says these complicated risks can trigger a deep sense of loneliness which can lead to clinically depressive symptoms. The American Cancer Society (ACS) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) list some signs and symptoms of depression as:

  • Ongoing and daily sadness or hopelessness;
  • Feelings of guilt or worthlessness;
  • Loss of interest in activities the person usually enjoys;
  • Changes in eating, major weight loss or major weight gain;
  • Changes in sleeping habits, unexplained tiredness;
  • Trouble focusing, remembering, or slow physical and mental responses;
  • Mood swings;
  • And more.

According to the NCI, cancer patients may have weakened immune systems due to treatments. A weakened immune system could increase a person’s risk of having severe illness if they contract COVID-19. It is very important to socially distance from those loved ones who have cancer if you do not live in their household. If you do live with a cancer patient, it is important to be safe when in public.

“When we began social distancing and staying at home in the early months of the pandemic, it was interesting to hear people talk about the value of social interaction. People all over the world began to realize the mental health consequences of social isolation,” said Dr. Lenore. “People seemed to begin to understand that a lack of interaction can lead to profound consequences in moods, such as depression and anxiety, which can then impact physical health.”

With the holidays around the corner and the recent increase in COVID-19 cases, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services has ordered certain businesses to close and has placed restrictions on other businesses and activities, as well as restricted household gatherings.

Dr. Lenore believes we will learn how to adapt to the changes that are needed, as we have done earlier this year.

“Resilience tends to outweigh over time – that’s just inevitable. People nurture hope. There are opportunities for creativity in how we overcome. We’ve seen this already early on with people bonding and reconnecting by sharing videos of people singing together on their balconies in places like New York City. It will be exciting to see who we will be as a society as we become more aware of the value of human connection.”

When it comes to adapting to social isolation while going through cancer treatments, Dr. Lenore suggests patients work to do two things:

1. Be nice to yourself.

This sounds simple, but it can be very difficult for those who are experiencing exhaustive treatments for cancer. Dr. Lenore describes this step as making peace with the uncertainty one may have with their disease and the pandemic. So how does one do that?

“Learn how to talk about it and share your vulnerabilities with family members and friends,” explained Dr. Lenore. “As individuals, we tend to be resistant to revealing vulnerable feelings or experiences. This often stimulates feeling of loneliness, resentment, and depression. If we can find the courage to trust others with our vulnerability, it could dramatically improve our relationships and our health. If you can reveal to someone that you’re scared, it’s an opportunity for them to say, ‘I’m scared, too.’”

For family members or friends of cancer patients who want to help their loved one communicate more about what they may be experiencing, Dr. Lenore suggests the following message to help present that opportunity:

“I’m scared, because I don’t know how to talk about this. I’m scared to talk about it, because I may say the wrong thing and it may hurt you. But I see you’re scared, too. I don’t want you to be feel alone with this illness. I want you to know I’m by your side. How can we navigate this together with mistakes along the way?”

2. Nurture hope.

According to the NCI, cancer patients may feel lonely because they feel that others may not understand what they may be going through. Dr. Lenore says there are two ways to find hope if experiencing loneliness.

Faith - Some people nurture faith through religious practice and their own personal interactions with church, prayer, congregation, or various other practices that support a personal faith in a higher being. Many religious organizations offer sessions online to help minimize the spread of the virus. If your faith is something that helps you get through tough times, Dr. Lenore suggests attending some faith-based virtual services or support groups.

Relationships - Having family members and friends around, even if they may not fully understand, helps with nurturing hope.

“Fostering relationships is key. To have, at minimal, one consistent person with whom you can share a vulnerable space can increase physical and mental health outcomes,” explained Dr. Lenore. “When we suppress and ignore our emotional experiences, it worsens our physical and mental health. But if we learn to find the courage and be willing to practice communicating our vulnerabilities, loneliness will disappear.”

There are many ways to virtually continue to foster relationships with family and friends from a social distance, especially if you do not live with them. Dr. Lenore encourages phone calls and video chats to help feel that closeness to one another.

For cancer patients who would like someone to talk with, behavioral health specialists are available at McLaren Flint. Dr. Lenore is also available at the hospital, the Karmanos Cancer Institute at McLaren Flint and the McLaren Proton Therapy Center. To schedule an appointment with Dr. Lenore, contact Hannah Ardelean, BSN, RN, OCN, oncology nurse navigator at (810) 342-4848.

Karmanos and the McLaren Proton Therapy Center offer support groups for cancer patients and those touched by cancer. This includes the monthly Cancer Support Group, Music Therapy and Art Therapy. All support groups are offered online at this time. Find out when the next support group meets and register, by visiting

Can Wellbutrin help with Effexor weight gain?

I have been on Effexor XR 75mg for almost a year.  About 6 months ago, I tried Wellbutrin XR 150mg to increase energy.  I found that it didn't seem to do much for me so I discontinued it.  Ever since, I have been gaining weight more easily and have put on about 15 lbs despite some moderate attempts at dieting and exercise.  Weight gain is absolutely not tolerable for me.  I plan to take my chances weaning off the Effexor unless the Wellbutrin can counteract this.  I don't expect it to make me lose the weight, but I am hoping it will counteract the weight gain effect and at least make me stop gaining and ultimately, be able to lose what I've gained.  Is this possible?  I have refilled my Wellbutrin script and I have an appointment with my doctor on Friday.  Thanks!

Most people switch to Wellbutrin because of the weight gain with Effexor and other ssri's.  It should help with the weight issue, and is an effective medication for depression and anxiety for most people, but whether it works for you can only be determined by a trial.
Avatar universal
Well, I think my question was a little less than clear.  What I meant was, will taking the two concurrently help with the weight gain side-effect.  I have been taking them both for a week now and have been dieting and exercising for the most part.  I lost 3 lbs.  I have no idea if the Wellbutrin helped, but it sure didn't hinder.  I feel a little more energetic too.

Here's an update:  I've been on the Wellbutrin now for about 10 days and I've been dieting and exercising (both without going too far) since.  I have lost 5 lbs so far, so that's a plus because it started to look like even with dieting I was going to keep gaining weight.  As for the Effexor with Wellbutrin, I take these meds for Generalized Anxiety and the Wellbutrin brings it back just a tad.  I've gotten angry since being on the Wellbutrin, but not excessively and not for no good reason.  That's it for now.  My goal is to lose 10 - 12 more pounds by the New Year.  Let's see how it goes!

I've been on effexor BECAUSE my doc insisted it would give me energy and may help me lose weight.  NOT happening.  No anti-dep has helped me yet, with emotional or NOW weight-gain problems.

I am new here!!  I have tried several ssri's have just started Wellbutrin XL for anxiety.  I don't know if it is just me, but I feel like it is making my anxiety worse.  I really wish that it would work because I have gained so much weight on the ssri's.

I'd never had a problem with my weight before, but after taking Effexor, I gained about 40 pounds in about 6 months.  Frankly, I'm mad as hell.  I stopped taking it a couple of years ago, and am having problems with my weight still, and of course, problems with depression still.  I'd like to try another medicine, but am afraid that that med would cause more weight gain, counteracting any potential benefits from taking it.  Effexor may be great for some people, but all it did for me was make me fat as a bear.

Have you had your Uric Acid Checked?

Uric Acid connected to symptoms of cardiovascular disease, spasticity and involuntary movements of muscles, cognitive retardation (fibro fog), arthritis, kidney stones, abdominal pain, hypertension and more. These symptoms sound familiar to anyone? Uric acid is connected to oxidative stress, which is caused by an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen and a biological system's ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or easily repair the resulting damage. Disturbance in this normal redox state can cause toxic effects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components of cells, including protiens, lipids and DNA. Uric Acid is increased by diet of high fructose intake (corn syrup) and purines found in high amounts or animal food products. Check your diets, my husband drank alot of Mountain Dew and likes to hunt. He reports feeling much better after stopping pops, but still refuses to eat vegges and fruits.

Excellent question. Per Dr. Paul Cheney.... CFS patients have a very low uric acid level, sometimes the result that many MS patients have.

Hi ! The test you probably had was a BUN (blood urea nitrogen).

You do have to ask your physician to order a uric acid level test.

I hope this helps !

Report: Some Female Fox Employees Feel ‘Anguish’ and ‘Distress’ Over O’Reilly Not Being Rebuked

Bill O’Reilly has been accused of sexual harassment by women who’ve worked at Fox, but what do those women who are still at the network think?

Yes, we know what advertisers think, since over 50 of them have absconded and were notably absent during last night’s broadcast. Still, it was on last night, minimal ads or not. Surely, that has to be upsetting to some women within the network.

A new report indicates that it is.

Over on NPR, David Folkenflik says that women in the company are not happy with how the situation is being handled.

“There’s a lot of anguish, distress, and concern among employees at Fox News — particularly women — about the fact that Bill O’Reilly has been allowed to continue almost un-rebuked by his employers, seemingly,” said Folkenflik––the reporter who brought the alleged use of a “leg cam” by Fox News to the general public a few years ago with the release of his book Murdoch’s World

Folkenflik went on to talk about how it was 21st Century Fox’s Rupert Murdoch‘s promise to overhaul the culture at Fox that allowed Roger Ailes to allegedly sexually harass women hasn’t really come to fruition at all, as demonstrated by the “fresh attention” on O’Reilly from sources like the New York Times and others.

As a result, some women at Fox have “contempt” for O’Reilly and “cynicism” about the Murdoch family’s sincerity, according to Folkenflik.

Listen above, via NPR.

UPDATE — 3:46 p.m. EST:

This has been edited to clarify that The O’Reilly Factor did not run short due to lack of ads last night. Language in an earlier version was unclear.

Key information 'missing' over young man who died in police custody near Paris

The death in custody of 24-year-old Adama Traoré after he was arrested by gendarmes near Paris on July 19th provoked violent disturbances among locals and anger from the young man's family. Prosecution authorities insisted that Traoré's death was due to a heart attack and a pre-existing infection. Yet autopsy reports suggest signs of “asphyxiation”. And Mediapart understands that key information about the circumstances of the young man's death have not yet been passed to a judge investigating the case. Adama Traoré's family is now considering legal action over the issue. Faïza Zerouala reports.

Goodbye Old Man - Soldier and dying horse during WWI Featured Fortunino Matania Print

Goodbye Old Man - Soldier and dying horse during WWI

Goodbye Old Man is a striking image of a soldier bidding farewell to his fatally injured horse. Goodbye Old Man was commissioned by the Blue Cross in 1916 to raise money to help horses on active service.
The artist is Fortunino Matania and it is one of his most famous war-time illustrations. Fortunino Matania (1881 - 1963) was born in Naples.
During and after the war, his work adorned many a history book. During the 1st World War Matania mainly worked for the British magazine The Sphere as their star illustrator, usually producing one full page illustration or more per weekly issue.
He was also employed by the British government and commissioned by individual British regiments. He visited the front several times which allowed him to view wartime conditions at first hand and talk with soldiers about their experiences. From sketches and memory he could then finish a painting, often within a few days

Germans surrendering, Western Front by Matania, WW1

Surrendered German being marshalled by British soldiers following the defeat of their counter-attack at Trones Wood. The incident depicted took place near an advanced trench in the British line. The trench had been badly battered and many casualties had been caused when the German made their final attack. The first wave got through the British barrage and were held up by two Lewis guns which had survived the bombardment and by rapid rifle fire, characteristic of British infantry. The second wave did not advance any further, having been broken down by the British barrage which included shrapnel from aeroplanes overhead. Date: 1916

Aucklands advance from its battalion headquarters Featured Fortunino Matania Print

Aucklands advance from its battalion headquarters

This drawing relates to an incident on the 14th/15th September 1916 and is described in a book entitled A Saga of the Sword by Austin F. Britten, published by Arrowsmith, London 1928. The chapter, entitled The End of an Epoch, contains the following map reference : S11 b4.9. This is right in the middle of the area of the 2nd Battalion Auckland Regiment which was in No-Man's Land, just a shade short by 50 yards or so of the German Front Line in Coffee Lane. And, no doubt, Matania is attempting to portray an incident in the initial phase of the Auckland's advance from its battalion headquarters, slightly on the right of the fork (La Forche) which is where the New Zealand memorial now stands. It would also appear that four tanks were allocated to the New Zealand Division and all four passed this way towards the fork before spreading out. They were from D Company and were numbered D8, D10, D11 and D12. The actual image was never used in the book (which in the end did not have any illustrations) but no doubt Matania was asked by Austin Britten to produce this incident at the above map reference. The name of the book was written on the back of the picture. Fortunino Matania, Ri (1881-1963). One of the most accomplished realistic illustrators and artists of his time, his wartime work was immensely popular and appeared in nearly every major news magazine, Allied, Neutral and Central Powers alike.

Snaring is the most common surgical procedure that can be performed through any of the endoscopes. A snare is a wire that is like a lasso. The snare is looped over the tumor and tightened; then the wire is electrified to prevent bleeding as it cuts through.

Endoscopies performed by our colon and rectal surgeons to achieve surgeries may include:

During this procedure, the anus, rectum and colon are examined using a colonoscope, a flexible tube with a camera and light at the tip. The inside of the colon is examined carefully, looking for signs of disease. A biopsy, a small piece of tissue, may be taken at this time, for later examination under microscope.

Flexible Sigmoidoscopy
During this procedure, the rectum and sigmoid colon are examined using a scope, similar to a colonscope. The flexible sigmoidoscope is 65 cm long, and is used to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon.

The rigid sigmoidoscopy
The rigid sigmoidoscope is 25cm long and is generally used to examine the rectum.

During this procedure, your doctor will examine the inside of the anus and anal canal with the anoscope. The surgeon may remove a small piece of tissue, called a biopsy. This biopsy will be examined under a microscope later for signs of disease by a pathologist, a doctor who is expert in looking at cells under the microscope.

What to expect from endoscopic surgery

  1. Your doctor will give you bowel preparations for the day before your procedure. These typically include taking a laxative and not eating or drinking after midnight. You should refer to a list of medications to avoid taking, including aspirin because it can cause bleeding problems during and after surgery.
  2. Most endoscopic procedures/surgeries last for one hour. However, you will probably be at a MedStar facility for three to four hours.
  3. If your doctor performs a biopsy, the results are returned in three to seven days.
  4. Any affects are generally gone by the following morning.
  5. You will not be allowed to drive yourself home, so you must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Bilateral Relations Between Pakistan & Azebaijan

Pakistan and Azerbaijan are two fraternal countries and close and cordial relations between both the countries are characterized by common cultural heritage, shared perceptions on global and regional issues and cooperation at international forums. Due to deeply entrenched affinities, both the countries cherish special bond of friendship.

Pakistan was among the first three countries to recognize Azerbaijan after its independence from the former Soviet Union in October 1991. Diplomatic relations between the two countries were established in June 1992. Pakistan opened embassy in Baku in March 1993 and Azerbaijan reciprocated in same terms in August 1997.

In upcoming year 2017, both the two countries will celebrate Silver Jubilee of establishment of their diplomatic relations. The cooperation between the two states extends to various spheres ranging from political, economic, security, defence to culture.

Pakistan has been extending unconditional support to Azerbaijan in its conflict with Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh.  As an expression of solidarity with Azerbaijan, Pakistan neither recognized Armenia nor established diplomatic relations with that country as yet.

In February 2012, Senate Foreign Relations Committee of Pakistan recognized “Khojaly Tragedy” (1992) as genocide further reinforcing Pakistan’s support to Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan, a member of OIC Contact Group on Kashmir, supports Pakistan’s position on the Jammu and Kashmir dispute. On the other-hand Pakistan also welcomes establishment of OIC Contact Group on Nagorno-Karabakh issue.

Both the countries also coordinate their workings and positions in the OIC and other international forums on all issues of common interests. Our two countries also support each other unconditionally and at times on a reciprocal arrangement for various candidatures in the international organizations.

High level exchanges have been a regular feature between the two countries. Pakistan former President Sardar Farooq Ahmad Leghari visited Baku in October 1995. This was followed by visit of President Heydar Aliyev to Pakistan in April 1996.

Former President General Pervez Musharraf visited Baku in July 2004 and President Ilham Aliyev paid a return visit to Islamabad in April 2005.

In May 2005, former Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz visited Baku to attend 9th session of Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO).  In October 2012, President Asif Ali Zardari visited Azerbaijan to attend 12th ECO summit in Baku.

Present President Mamnoon Hussain visited Azerbaijan from 11-14 March, 2015. This visit opened a new page in the bilateral relations of two countries as two Presidents for the first time since the establishment of diplomatic relation signed a Joint Declaration on Strategic Partnership between the two states.

As a result of this visit, both the countries agreed to establish joint ventures in all possible domains particularly defence, energy, infrastructure, IT, textile and pharmaceuticals. Pakistan offered 50 scholarships for Azeri students in the IT field.

The two sides also concluded Cooperation Programme between Foreign Service Academy (FSA), Islamabad and ADA, University, Baku and MoU on the Establishment of Joint Business Council between Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry and Azerbaijan Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The two Presidents also co-inaugurated the First ever Azerbaijan-Pakistan Business Forum that enhanced interest among the business community of two countries. First Lady of Azerbaijan Madam Mehriban Aliyeva was decorated with one of the highest civil awards of the country “Hilal-e-Pakistan” by the President of Pakistan personally for the humanitarian work of her organization “Hayder Aliyev Foundation” in Azad Kashmir and other parts of Pakistan.

Baku State University awarded an Honorary Doctorate Degree to Pakistan President Mamnoon Hussain. All this speaks a lot about close bonds of fraternity and affection that exist between the two people.

Cooperation in the field of defence has also shown upward trajectory. There have been high level exchanges and visits between the two defence forces. Presently this cooperation is mainly focussed on availing military professional courses. In 2015 some 130 Azeri defence personnel received training in Pakistan. Similarly, 36 officers of Pakistan Air Force attended short training courses in Baku. There exists a great potential in this domain for joint ventures and training.

On 21st January this year, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif held a bilateral meeting with President Ilham Aliyev on the side lines of Devos Business Forum in Devos, Switzerland. The two leaders expressed satisfaction on the existing bilateral relations and agreed to enhance cooperation in various fields including defence. Azerbaijan highly appreciates our government’s vision and policy of a “peaceful neighbourhood” and internal and regional economic development agenda.

In the civilian domain, Pakistan has been offering various courses to Azerbaijan since 1993. A number of civil officials have been trained in Pakistan in the field of diplomacy, International Central Banking and Commercial Banking, Postal, Customs, Railways, IT, and Business Administration. Azerbaijan Diplomatic Academy has also started offering some degree courses to Pakistani students through direct enrolments. There are some Pakistani students studying in Baku Medical University on a self-financed basis.

Azerbaijan’s Support to Pakistan:

  1. Supported Pakistan on Jammu & Kashmir issue and joined the OIC Contact Group on Kashmir since 2012.
  2. Built a school in Muzafferabad after 2005 earthquake at a cost of US$ 1million
  3. Gave assistance US$ 1 million each at the time of floods in 2010 and 2011 in Pakistan.
  4. Carried out and continues small-sized humanitarian project in various parts of Pakistan.
  5. Baku State University awarded President of Pakistan with Honourary Doctorate Degree
  6. Azerbaijan supported several Pakistan’s candidatures for the international organizations / institutions.

On the Economic and Trade front the two countries have signed more than 30 bilateral Agreements, MoUs and Cooperation Programmes. Pakistan and Azerbaijan also have institutional arrangement of Joint Ministerial Commission (JMC) between them. The JMC has held five sessions since its formation in September 2000. The 6th meeting of the JMC was held in Islamabad on 26-27 April 2106.

There are great prospects to boost cooperation between the two countries in many fields. There is a need to encourage business companies of the two countries to intensify contacts and undertake regular visits. The present economic and trade relations between the two countries do not correspond with the existing high level political goodwill.

There exists a great scope for Azerbaijan to import rice, vegetable and fruit & fruit Preps, medical and pharmaceutical products, textiles and sports goods from Pakistan and at the same time Azerbaijan can export it high quality cotton, fruits, chemicals, fats and oil and non-ferrous metals. Cooperation in the field of Energy has still not taken off the ground. Pakistan is an energy-hungry country. The experts of the two sides are in contact. They need to visit and discuss and explore the possibilities of cooperation.

Azerbaijan extended support to Pakistan during natural calamities. Heydar Aliyev Foundation regularly undertakes humanitarian projects in Pakistan. The Foundation under patronage of Ms. Mehriban Aliyeva, First Lady of Azerbaijan constructed a girls’ school in the city of Muzaffarabad, Azad Kashmir after 2005 earthquake and also extended assistance to Pakistan in 2010/2011 floods.

It is evident from the above that relations between Pakistan are very warm and cordial. We share many commonalties and more importantly we share each-others’ pains and happiness. The last two years have witnessed an upward trajectory of bilateral relations of the two countries. I tend to believe that this trend would continue and the two states would be able to forge more concrete cooperation in all walks of life and maintain high level relations in the years to come. The friendship and brotherhood between the two people will in any case remain eternal.

How to eat well during the holidays

Holiday how to eat well

One of the best things about the holidays is the cornucopia of delicious food available for what seems like weeks on end. It’s something we all look forward to – especially those traditional family favorites we’ve enjoyed for years – but the easily accessible rich foods and sinful treats makes overindulging very easy to do.

It’s possible to eat well during the holidays while still enjoying everything the season has to offer. The key is moderation and following common sense tips like these:

Focus on eating the healthy stuff. Even tables filled with rich, fattening food usually have some healthy things hidden on them if you search hard enough. At cocktail parties look for vegetable and fruit platters, and drink sparkling water with just a splash of fruit juice rather than a sugary, sweet punch. At family dinners, load up on healthy sides like plain steamed veggies, and take smaller portions of meat and other rich sides. Portion control and moderation are important too. Have dessert, but just have half a serving instead of the whole slice of cake or pie.

Sip on that craving. Yes, herbal tea isn’t exactly the same thing as a plateful of sugar cookies or a rich dessert, but it can help you feel satisfied when you want a treat. Look for herbal teas with holiday spice blends to help make them feel extra special. Not only is this a healthy way to hydrate, but it’s comforting too.

Be aware of your plate ratio. A good rule of thumb is to fill half of your holiday dinner plate with vegetables or salad, a quarter with protein, and the last quarter with grains or fillers like stuffing and mashed potatoes. Read more about the USDA’s dietary guidelines – which supports the half a plate idea all year ‘round – by visiting More Matters.

Make healthy freezer meals in advance. The holidays are a busy time, and it can be tempting to order fast food or succumb to less healthy options when we’re feeling tired or stressed out. Before things get too hectic, make some healthy soups and stews to pop in the freezer for those evenings when you want a quick meal. Check out Eating Well ( for some delicious inspiration.

Be selective. It’s the holidays, so of course you want to indulge a bit. Just be selective when you do. Don’t waste calories on a store-bought pie or cookies; save them for delicious homemade treats instead. They’ll taste even that much better if you do!

Bring healthy with you. Hosts love it when you lend a hand, so bring a healthy salad, steamed veggies, a vegetable or fruit platter, or a healthier version of a delicious dessert. That way you’ll always have something to choose that you know is a healthier option.

Keep your fridge stocked with healthy snacks. Clean and cut up raw vegetables like celery, carrots, cucumbers, fennel, bell peppers; and pop some apples and oranges in the crisper to make your fridge a healthy snack stop. When healthy foods are easy to grab, it makes eating healthy easier for everyone.

The bottom line is that you shouldn’t deprive yourself of all the culinary holiday fun. Just be aware of what you’re consuming, eat healthy options whenever you find them, and make sure to save the calories for indulgences that you simply can’t miss out on.

For more tips on living well during the holidays, read our “Healthy holidays to you!” article.

Genome remodelling in a basal-like breast cancer metastasis and xenograft

Massively parallel DNA sequencing technologies provide an unprecedented ability to screen entire genomes for genetic changes associated with tumour progression. Here we describe the genomic analyses of four DNA samples from an African-American patient with basal-like breast cancer: peripheral blood, the primary tumour, a brain metastasis and a xenograft derived from the primary tumour. The metastasis contained two de novo mutations and a large deletion not present in the primary tumour, and was significantly enriched for 20 shared mutations. The xenograft retained all primary tumour mutations and displayed a mutation enrichment pattern that resembled the metastasis. Two overlapping large deletions, encompassing CTNNA1, were present in all three tumour samples. The differential mutation frequencies and structural variation patterns in metastasis and xenograft compared with the primary tumour indicate that secondary tumours may arise from a minority of cells within the primary tumour. © 2010 Macmillan Publishers Limited.

How to Dress For a Fantastic First Date

Whether you've swiped right on Tinder, found a potential soulmate on Match.com, or are getting fixed up by a very enthusiastic married friend, you need to look your best for any first date. Knowing what to wear isn't a dilemma that is exclusive to women either. A well dressed man knows that he has to show off his style in just the right way for the occasion.

Remember that this isn't work

You dress well for work, so you can just wear the same thing on the date, right? Wrong! You aren't going to a business meeting, so don't dress for one. While some of the same principles hold true, the attire should be different. For a first date, ditch the three piece suit and opt for a fashionable shirt and blazer combination. This can give a touch of refinement without the feeling that you're there for a corporate merger.

Don't fear color

Women don't want to date a boring man, and nothing screams boring like a plain white dress shirt, fresh off the nearest department store's shelves. Instead, use your shirt as an opportunity to add some color. What you choose will be a reflection of your personality. Whether this is a bright, bold pink with patterned cuff detailing, like the limited edition Even 521 shirt by Bertigo, or a patterned blue, like the Jared Lang dark blue camouflage shirt, it will show her that you have a personal style. If you feel the need to stick with white, though, consider the Au Noir white shirts with a playful cuff pattern or a woven pattern detailing in the fabric.

Finish the look

You have your shirt and you've chosen a great blazer. Whether this is a subtle patterned blazer by Maceoo or a bold, colorful velvet sport jacket by Via Uomo, a pocket square can add that extra touch of class. It can be a bright addition to a subtle jacket and shirt combination, or a calming monochrome for a sleek and modern style.

When you look great on a first date, you'll make a lasting impression from the moment she sees you. Whether it ends up being love at first sight or not, you'll know it certainly wasn't down to a bad choice of clothes!

The digital dating scene is all about finding people with shared interests. There are mobile apps—everything from Tinder to the SWEATT app for gym enthusiasts—and websites—Christian Mingle and Farmers Only, to name just two—that cater to specific crowds. Now, Mashable reports that there's a new website, Mouse Mingle, designed to help Disney fans find love.

The Walt Disney Company has been around since the 1920s, and millions have grown up watching the cartoons and movies and visiting the theme parks. Mouse Mingle is hoping to tap into the part of that population that sees Disney as a part of their identities, writing on its website that "traditional Internet dating sites don't understand the passion people have for all things Disney. But we do." When they sign up, Mouse Minglers are asked to note their favorite Disney songs, identify their favorite characters, and share their favorite memories from visiting the parks.

In an email to Mashable, creator Dave Tavres explained that the website was born out of his own frustrations with dating sites. "There was no way to narrow down the searches to find women in the right distance and age range who loved Disney," Tavres said. "My hope is that people literally around the world will find the site useful."

The gallery of photos from users who have already created profiles on Mouse Mingle are filled with selfies taken at various Disney parks and in branded Disney apparel. There doesn't appear to be a fee to create a profile, but according to Mashable, users have to pay $12.55 per month to send private messages and join chats.

Virtual reconstruction of the Aroeira 3 cranium as seen from the front (A), back (B), top (C), and side (D). Image Credit: Zilhão et al. in PNAS, 2017

When archaeologists were digging up the dirt floor at the Aroeira cave in central Portugal in 2014, they were already well on their way to understanding the lifestyle of hunter-gatherers who took shelter there during the Middle Pleistocene.

The researchers had found Acheulean handaxes—the most advanced technology of the day—that were used for cutting, scraping, and butchering. They also found burnt deer bones, suggesting that whoever camped out at this cave 400,000 years ago had the know-how to make fires—then a relatively new human achievement.

Then, at the end of the field season, the excavators unexpectedly struck paleoanthropological gold. They were using demolition hammers to break through the cave’s hard fragmented rock when they chipped a piece of bone.

“Immediately we knew we were dealing with a human fossil,” said University of Barcelona archaeologist João Zilhão, the director of the excavation. His team removed a block of the sediment surrounding the fossil, and preparators in Madrid spent two years carefully revealing a human cranium encased inside. Their findings are reported in the current issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

It’s exceptionally rare to find human remains from this period. It’s even more rare to find them in a good archaeological context, among artifacts like tools and animal bones. So the discovery of this skull—the oldest ever found in Portugal—is exciting for some paleoanthropologists.

Below, you can see the researchers' discovery, removal, cleaning, and finally restoration of the ancient cranium.

Zilhão et al. in PNAS

The prehistoric skull from Aroeira shares some similarities with human fossils of the same era found in Spain, France, and Italy—including some fossils thought to be early Neanderthals, which were just starting to emerge in Europe, and some fossils that had been attributed to another species, Homo heidelbergensis. But the new specimen doesn’t fit neatly into a species category, and could help researchers argue for a diversity of human populations in Europe before the rise of modern humans.

Mental_floss spoke to a trio of experts in human evolution for their take on the current study, which they were not involved in. “This find adds more complexity to the European picture, as we are also seeing in Africa and Asia,” Chris Stringer, a paleoanthropologist at London’s Natural History Museum, says.

University College London paleoanthropologist Maria Martinón-Torres sees the skull as a potential ancestor to the Neanderthal. “I think this finding obliges us to abandon the idea that Neanderthal evolution is a single and lineal process,” she says.

She noted that there are several fossils from similar mid-Pleistocene sites, such as Sima de los Huesos in Atapuerca, Spain and Arago in France, that share some Neanderthal traits but have very different combinations of those traits.

“We see now that there is no linearity in the combination of these traits,” Martinón-Torres says. “This is probably due to the fragmentation and isolation of these populations due to the hard climatic conditions in Europe at that time.” She said that when climatic conditions are harsh, populations can get isolated and evolve their own particular distinctive features. Then, when conditions get better, these groups meet and recombine again. “So for a long period we will find a Neanderthal-like but highly variable population,” she says.

Bence Viola, a paleoanthropologist at the University of Toronto, notes that with the addition of the Aroeira skull we now have a few different humans fossils that look quite different from one another despite being from the same period. He says the new skull seems more primitive than the fossils found nearby at Sima de los Huesos, which, ancient DNA results have shown, represent early Neanderthals. “This cranium makes this scenario of having several different populations in Europe in the middle Pleistocene seem likely,” says Viola, who adds that he would be very interested to see what this specimen’s DNA looks like.

Stringer points out that the skull would be even more illuminating if it weren't missing some key parts, including the back of the cranium: “Unfortunately, this new fossil, interesting as it is, doesn’t have the most useful bits to put it into this puzzle."

Cranberry Twp, PA

menu changes

This used to be my favorite place in Cranberry. They took the vegetarian entrees off the menu. If you look at the menu online, you will see that the vegetarian offerings include a salad and a grilled cheese sandwich! I don’t know how they think they will attract veg eaters with that. I haven’t been back since they changed the menu. They have lost one of their biggest supporters, as you can see from my earlier review.

Comments for | metapede Thu, 27 Oct 2011 02:44:04 +0000 hourly 1 Comment on The Internet Bubble by Shawn Smith Thu, 27 Oct 2011 02:44:04 +0000 Great comment Jonathan. On #2, you make a good point. Maybe it’s more accurate to say that the Internet has made it easy to maintain a large number of relatively shallow relationships, and it can augment our real-world friendships. On the other hand, it has lessened both our need and our opportunities for quality in-person interactions.

Comment on The Internet Bubble by Jonathan Wed, 26 Oct 2011 22:18:58 +0000 As pessimistic as I’ve been in recent years, I think I disagree on all 3 points.

#1 has a narrow view of what the internet is. Most people don’t log on to consumer web sites, but I would expand “the internet” to include things like mobile phones (even voice calls use the greater internet now), shipping/logistics systems that delivered the food you’re eating, the scheduling system that set up their dentist appointment, etc. Even if people aren’t using the internet directly, they are somehow dependent on its existence in their daily lives, just like you can contribute to oil dependency without owning a car.

Replace “the internet” with “the consumer web” and the point totally holds though.

I think #2 depends on personalities and preferences. For me, the internet makes me much more social. I’d be social in any case, but the ready availability of communication tools makes it easy to do things with people as often as I like.

The internet, specifically the social parts, do change change our social groups from being location-based to being affinity-based. I’m closer with certain people around the world than I am with my neighbors. In some cases I like this because I can pick the people I interact with. In other cases it keeps me from meeting people nearby. For lots of people this is literally a life saver. Gay kids in small towns, deaf people who can’t have a face-to-face conversation but can thrive on IM, etc. But for a lot of people it does end up being ultimately isolating.

There’s a huge gap between online interaction and physical human interaction. After spending 15 years on the internet I’ve been trying hard to replace the former with the latter as much as possible.

#3 is a good one to keep in mind, but I think this also applies to the more frivolous parts of the consumer web. People who are actually starving care about nothing besides getting some food, but as soon as they rise above that level they start wanting things that the internet can really help out with, like freedom from dictators and communication with their family.

The whole “internet industry” is certainly still in the early stages, and nobody knows what it will end up looking like. I hope that we’re in the tool-building phase right now, and the high prices associated with that are the main reason why big companies (and companies that intend to become big) are dominating. I hope that prices will continue to drop and people will keep taking on more responsibility for their own online experiences.

I hope the internet ends up a little like New York City, which is both the home of the largest corporations and the home of small, independent businesses.

The Future of NPR and the New York Times by Derek Zecher Thu, 24 Mar 2011 20:58:04 +0000 “[Satire] can make us laugh at things in a way that anesthetizes us to real injustice.” True. Sometimes it can also make something that we are otherwise to horrified to even look at palatable. A matter of balance I guess.

Comment on Losing My Religion by Shawn Smith Fri, 14 Jan 2011 19:48:48 +0000 A word about the term “atheist” as used in this essay…

I call myself an “atheist” but I define this term in a way that other people would call “agnostic.” That is to say, I take a stance that’s similar to the one science takes regarding extraterrestrial life or shamanic healing. The jury is out. Some people make a distinction between “negative” and “positive” atheism. So-called “negative” atheists would say the existence of god is uncertain because it has yet to be proven, whereas “positive” atheists feel certain that there is no god. In this sense, I am a “negative” atheist, but some people prefer “agnostic” because it’s a less loaded label.

Comment on Losing My Religion by Shawn Smith Wed, 25 Aug 2010 17:12:31 +0000 Anna, Jesse, thanks so much for your comments.

Anna: I agree that one of the nicest things about the New Church (or at least Swedenborg’s teachings) is the acknowledgement that a person’s “religion” is not the same as their “church” – that religion really only exists inside us. This makes the New Church more tolerant and respectful toward other beliefs than many faiths seem to be. I’m guessing it’s also the reason the New Church doesn’t work as hard as other churches to spread itself. There’s a belief that divine providence is guiding everything, which means our own power is limited and our understanding of things is incomplete and possibly wrong.

Jesse: There’s a lot in your comment. I can really relate to the complicated nature of your feelings about Bryn Athyn. I didn’t focus on this very much in my post, and I honestly don’t think about Bryn Athyn very much. But then it isn’t “closed” to me to the extent I imagine it feels for you. I don’t miss the church, or the community at all. Bryn Athyn – as you point out – is especially adept at rationalizing its own prejudices. I don’t even miss my friends. The only thing I really miss is the safety and… I don’t know… coziness of it. As a child I could roam anywhere around there. Everyone knew everyone, so it was like I had a lot of guardian angels. I spent every day of every summer at the swim club, or deep in the woods. I didn’t see my parents at all between breakfast and dinner time, and they didn’t necessarily know where I was. But they knew the community had their back.

Comment on Losing My Religion by Jesse Sun, 30 May 2010 21:42:09 +0000 I stumbled across your post and found and related to a lot of what you said. Part of my childhood was spent in Bryn Athyn. I only really spent four or five years there but it became so ingrained into my pores that I feel I could be picked out from a hundred foot distance as a Bryn Athynite if someone knew what to look for. I left promptly as I could and have had some pretty radical experiences. I never thought I would look back at Bryn Athyn because I always thought it would be there when I needed it. I had sat through enough prodigal-son-sermons to know that I could always play that part. Then I met a girl (also Catholic) and we fell in love and now I am gay for life. No phase or college experimentation about it. Now suddenly I miss Bryn Athyn. I don’t really want to live there but something about that door being closed to me makes it seem more appealing then it ever did. My family still lives there, some old friends and you gotta admit it’s a beautiful little town. I never saw it’s appeal before. I would scoff at the thought of ever returning. Now I don’t know what to think. Bryn Athyn is where spiritual intellectuals go to marinate in their own ignorance. Though they are not the only community guilty of this, I think the New Church takes the cake on claims of rationality. This didn’t bother me when I first left. “Let them soak in their own self-proclaimed wisdom.” I said to myself. Now I feel first hand the harm it does to call discrimination a product of understanding when it is so intrinsically the opposite.
Anyway, it was nice to hear your story. To me too the world of the New Church can seem like a crazy dream I had the other night complete with a seven headed dragon and woman wearing the sun who had a baby that wasn’t really a baby, it was a church.
And thanks for sharing. You sound at peace with it and I hope someday I will be too.
A Fellow Bryn Athyn Veteran.

Comment on Losing My Religion by Anna Fri, 16 Apr 2010 21:42:45 +0000 Hi Shawn,

Thank you for sharing your journey with me. I liked reading it and find the progression of thought and experience interesting. I have struggled with some of the same issues and haven’t blogged about it and think what a great idea to share with the world. I imagine so many people can relate to the leaving small town behind and opening your eyes to what is really out there.

I have come to believe that what I took away from my religion classes and my upbringing is mostly good with some funky things that don’t serve me now and I still love the church and consider myself a Swedenborgan and so much of it has shaped my life.

My favorite teaching is that the Lord flows through me and listening to His voice is what I strive for.

I believe each person has a god in their life no matter who they are. Whoever they worship and we all worship someone or something. I worship an understanding God who brings compassion integrity and respect to life and loves all creation. A God who wants me to love myself follow my heart, because I am part of his creation.

There is a big shift happening in the church right now and they have a new service that I love, with Rev. Chuck Blair, whom I love as a minister. It is about bringing your church and your God to your life everyday by serving the neighbor. It is about sparking the passions within to make the change without. It is usually always an inspiring service for me. They have an awesome band that plays awesome music. Do you remember the Edwin Herder band. It is very much like that. Wow does the service move me.
The church is opening it’s doors to the great population. No more closed society and I love this for many reasons. When I was growing up we were so closed like the bubble you talk about.

Great to share my thoughts on your blog, brings clarity to my life.

BTW Congradulations on your marriage.

Comment on Essentials of My Digital Life by margaret francis Tue, 15 Dec 2009 08:07:41 +0000 awesome post. i need to check out instapaper- i have the exact same issue with where to put twitter links when i’m not in a proper browsing environment. i’m pretty sure that if something isn’t in evernote it’s not going to get done, if it isn’t in delicious i don’t remember it, and if i didn’t hear it on pandora first i don’t own it. maybe the video thing is generational- i totally do not get why my nieces send all messages in video- feels too much like voicemail cause i can’t control speed of consumption. too much noise to signal. does that make me an official fogey?

Can We Buy Your Keego Harbor Michigan House Please?
Sometimes selling a house the traditional way with a real estate agent is simply not the best for everyone. As you know, there can be lots of pitfalls when selling a house the agent route.

The biggest issue with trying to sell with a real estate agent or selling it yourself is often times retail buyers will tie up a home for weeks and pull out on the deal at the last second… or have their bank loan fall through. It can all add stress, months to the process, and in the end after paying the agent fees and commissions, you not even be ahead of the game.

We work differently. We will provide you a fair all-cash offer on your house within 24 hours of submitting the short property info form below and can close when you want to close.

If the house is in terrible shape and you don’t want to (or can’t) fix it up… NO problem, we’ll deal with it for you. If you need to get something done quickly, we can close in as little as 7 days because we buy houses with cash and don’t have to rely on traditional bank financing.

September 2020: An update from the Service Desk at MFG

Dear Customers,

I hope everyone is keeping well and healthy. I think I perhaps spoke too soon when I said “It almost feels as if things are beginning to return to normal” in my last service desk update. As you know, on 22nd September the government announced new measures to suppress the virus. Whether we like it or not, I guess we’ve all got to do our bit to help and remember the “Hands, Face, Space” rules. *Long sigh*

Moving on to the good news!… Time for a service desk KPI review for September. The tickets resolved count stood at 916 tickets and 64.95% of them were resolved in less than one hour. Month-on-month that was more tickets resolved and faster! The SLA first response met rate was 99.9%, which is terrific considering the ticket count was up. Lastly, the customer happiness factor was 100%! A great month! Thanks to service desk team for all their hard work through September.

On the last KPI (customer happiness factor), please remember to keep providing your feedback after each ticket closure. You will receive a ticket closure email with the survey embedded. Note: you may need to click on the ‘download images’ button at the top of the email for the survey to display. Your feedback helps us to continue to improve the delivery of our services.

More good news. We have now successfully employed a Technical Support Lead for the Service Desk. His name is Justin, he starts on Monday 5th October and we’ll introduce you to him via a Mailshot towards the end of next week. As I touched-on last month, this Level 3 support role is in place to help improve the experience we offer our clients.

As you know, we’re continually reviewing our products and service offering. We are currently looking into new backup and disaster recovery (DR) solution to provide a more comprehensive disaster recovery plan for our customers. More details on this will follow from your account manager. Furthermore, we’re continuing to work on our simplified IT support service contract, which we hope to update you on later this year.

As always, I hope you found this update useful. Let us know if there is anything else, we can do to help.

The Dolphins Should Trade for Panthers Quarterback Cam Newton This Offseason

Newton would be the sort of bridge quarterback who can buy the franchise some time while a younger player is groomed.EXPAND

Support the independent voice of Miami and help keep the future of New Times free.

After the Miami Dolphins' back-to-back wins against the New York Jets and Indianapolis Colts, it's clear the dream that was drafting Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa with the first-overall pick is over. The Dolphins, now 2-7, are almost assuredly eliminated from the #TankForTua sweepstakes. It was a valiant effort, but in the end, surprisingly, the Dolphins just have gotten their shit far too together to out-stink the rest of the league.

It's time for Plan B. It's time to pull up YouTube videos of Auburn quarterback and Heisman frontrunner Joe Burrow, 6-foot-6 Oregon quarterback Jason Herbert, Utah State gunslinger Jordan Love, and possibly even Oklahoma's Jaylen Hurts.

Oh, and it's time to inquire about the availability of Cam Newton, the Carolina Panthers quarterback who might not return to the team that selected him first overall in the 2011 NFL Draft. Newton will likely be traded this offseason, and the Dolphins should think hard about acquiring the 30-year-old QB if the price is right.

Why would the Dolphins want to bring in Newton when the plan is to use the highest of their three first-round picks on a quarterback? Outside of Tagovailoa, none of the quarterbacks who will be available in the first round appears to be NFL-ready. Burrow might be the closest, but there's no guarantee any of the less sought-after quarterbacks will be a day-one starter. Newton would be the sort of bridge quarterback who could buy the franchise some time while a younger player was groomed, but he's also still in the prime of his career and could get the Fins deep into the playoffs.

The most appealing part of acquiring Newton is there would be almost no financial commitment. Next season is the last of a five-year, $103 million contract Newton has with the Carolina Panthers, with none of that money being guaranteed. Newton will make $19 million next season, which is estimated to be around the middle of the pack when it comes to starting-QB salaries and toward the bottom in terms of veterans. For a one-year rental who comes with possible Super Bowl chops, that's a fair deal.

The knock on Newton is he's injury- and turnover-prone, but before losing all but two games this season to a shoulder injury, he had played in at least 14 games in every season of his career. In reality, Newton missed fewer games with the Panthers in the same amount of time than Ryan Tannehill missed with the Dolphins over his career.

Newton is the sort of dual-threat quarterback the Dolphins could rely on in a rebuilding season. He is not the long-term answer — that much is not debatable — but he would be a terrific stopgap who would give Dolphins fans reason to believe rebuilding and the ability to compete could coincide. The Dolphins must find the quarterback of the future this offseason, but they should also kick the tires on the quarterback of the present. If there is a deal to be made, the rebuilding project that coach Brian Flores and general manager Chris Grier are undertaking could be fast-tracked and involve a lot less embarrassment.

Honor Code rallies to win Whitney at Saratoga

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. >> Four weeks after becoming a Grade 1 winner with a last-to-first effort in the Met Mile at Belmont Park, Honor Code came up with an even more impressive encore performance Saturday at Saratoga Race Course.

Trailing by as many as 19 1/4 lengths, the 4-year-old son of A.P. Indy closed with a dramatic surge in the final sixteenth of a mile to catch Liam’s Map and win the 88th running of the Grade 1 $1.25 million Whitney by a neck.

As a Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” Challenge race, Honor Code earned an automatic berth to the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic on Oct. 31 at Keeneland in Kentucky. He ran 1 1/8 miles in 1:47.82 and returned $9.50, $5.90 and $3.50 as the narrow second choice in a distinguished field of nine older horses.

“He’s an amazing horse,” said Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey, who won his third Whitney and first since Personal Ensign in 1988 and Easy Goer in 1989. “To be able to win a race like the Whitney is a big feather in our cap.”

Liam’s Map led from the gate to the shadow of the wire and paid $7.40 and $4.50. Tonalist, the 2014 Belmont Stakes champion and 7-2 favorite, was 1 1/2 lengths back in third, returning $3.

“I could see Honor Code was coming, so I knew it would be really close until the finish,” said Todd Pletcher, trainer of Liam’s Map. “He just couldn’t hold off a really good horse.”

Breaking from the No. 1 post, the late-running Honor Code was unhurried early under jockey Javier Castellano as Liam’s Map outran the speed-loving Moreno and took the field through testing early fractions of 22.79 for a quarter-mile, 46.00 for the half and 1:09.72 for six furlongs. Liam’s Map opened up on the field in mid-stretch but Honor Code came with a relentless drive in the last 110 yards to get up in time.

“I kind of felt like I was going to have to work a little bit at the quarter pole, but he switched leads at the right time at the eighth pole,” Castellano said. “He finished really strong.”

One of seven Grade 1 winners in the field, Wicked Strong was fourth, followed by V.E. Day, Lea, Normandy Invasion, defending Whitney champion Moreno and Noble Bird.

On the undercard, Cavorting was an easy winner of the Grade 1 $500,000 Longines Test; Goldy Espony led from start to finish in the Grade 3 $200,000 Fasig-Tipton Waya; Under Control beat Charming Kitten by 1 1/4 lengths in the $100,000 Lure; and Recepta rallied to take the $100,000 Fasig-Tipton De La Rose.

The Irish Workhouse, Past & Present

The workhouses in Ireland operated for a period of 80 years, from the early 1840s to the early 1920s. The workhouse or poorhouse was the last resort of the destitute poor and for society’s ‘rejects’. Each area had a workhouse, with 163 being built in total. The workhouse was both hated and feared.

Why Was My Workers’ Compensation Claim Denied?

Workers' Compensation Denials.jpg.crdownload

After you’ve been hurt on the job in Ohio, you may have assumed that, since you were injured doing work for your employer, you would be able to collect workers’ compensation benefits quickly after your accident. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. Many workers don’t realize that their applications are incomplete when they file for benefits. Additionally, some employers and insurers find flimsy or even untrue reasons to deny claims.

A denial of your claim doesn’t always mean you aren’t entitled to benefits. It does mean that you’ll have to appeal your denial, and that you may be in for a longer fight than you had originally anticipated. Read on to learn more about some of the common reasons for workers’ compensation benefit denials, and speak with an experienced Ohio workers’ compensation lawyer for help in appealing your claim’s denial.

The injury was pre-existing

Often, an insurer or employer will assert that your injury was either completely or partially pre-existing, and that they shouldn’t be forced to pay all or even a portion of the cost of your treatment since the injury wasn’t received on the job. This argument can be disproven with use of medical records from before the accident showing a clean bill of health from your doctor. You might also use other evidence of being in good physical health prior to the accident, such as testimony from those with whom you played rec league sports prior to the accident at work.

Your application for benefits was incomplete

Submitting a claim for benefits to the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) requires that you complete all forms by the required deadlines and provide extensive documentation of your injury. Gathering the necessary documentation from all medical providers or ensuring that physicians have submitted these documents on your behalf isn’t always easy. A workers’ compensation attorney can help ensure that your application for benefits is complete, or help you submit a revised application.

Too long of a delay between an injury and a filed claim

In Ohio, workers have two years to file a claim for benefits after they’re hurt on the job. That said, waiting too long to report an injury to your employer or to the BWC could weaken your claim. By delaying your claim, claim evaluators may become less likely to believe the injuries were received on the job. Additionally, witnesses may forget what happened when you were injured on the job, further diminishing the strength of your claim. You will need to meet an even higher standard to prove that the injury happened as you claim it did.

After you’re hurt on the job, speak with an experienced Ohio workers’ compensation lawyer as soon as possible by contacting the Columbus workers’ compensation lawyers at Miller Law Practice, LLC for a free consultation, at 614-591-6822.
