Heat and Health

　　Extremely hot weather is common in many parts of the world.Although hot weather just makes most people hot,it can cause medical problems-and death.

　　Health experts say that since the year 1900,extremely hot weather has killed more people in the United States than any other natural event.One year-the unusually hot summer of 1980-heat caused about 1,700 deaths in the United States.In 1995,more than 600 people died in a similar heat wave in one city-Chicago.

　　To measure extreme heat,govemment weather experts have developed the Mean Heat Index.It measures the average of how hot it is felt all day on an extremely hot day.Experts say it is the total heat of a hot day or several hot days that can affect health.Several hot days are considered a heat wave.Experts say heat waves often become deadly when the nighttime temperature does not drop much from the highest daytime temperature.

　　The most common medical problem caused by hot weather is heat stress.Usually,it also is the least severe.For most peoople,the only result of heat stress is muscle pain.The pain is a warning that the body is becoming too hot.Doctors say drinking water will help the pain disappear after the body again has the right amounts of water and salt.For some people,however,the result is much more serious.

　　For example,doctors say some people face a greatly increased danger from heat stress.These people have a weak or damaged heart,high blood pressure,or other problems of the blood system.Severe heat can help cause a heart attack or stroke.Health experts say this is the most common cause of death linked to hot weather.

Good Table Manners

　　Manners play an important part in making a favorable impression at the dinner table.Here are some general rules:

　　Napkin（餐巾）use

　　The meal begins when the host unfolds his or her napkin.This is your signal to do the same,so place your napkin on your lap.Unfold it completely if it is a small napkin,or in half,lengthwise（纵向地）,if it is a large dinner napkin.

　　If you need to leave the table during the meal,place your napkin on your chair as a signal to your server that you will be returning.Once the meal is over,place your napkin neatly on the table to the right of your dinner plate.Do not refold it.

　　Use a napkin only for your mouth.Never use it for your nose,face or forehead.

　　Use of utensils（餐具）

　　Start with the knife,fork or spoon furthest from your plate,and work your way in,using one utensil for each course.

　　If soup is served,remember to spoon away from yoursefl.This helps stop the drips.Do not put the entire soup spoon in your mouth.Instead,fill a soup spoon about 75 per cent with soup,and sip（啜饮）it from the side noiselessly.

　　After finishing dinner,place the knife and fork parallel to one another across the plate with the knife alade facing inward toward the plate.

　　Using your fingers

Wayne Beno

　　Wayne Beno was a true outdoorsman.Fishing,boating,hunting,walking through the woods with his three dogs,Wayne loved and did it all.Then life changed dramatically.Wayne was diagnosed with Parkinsons disease（帕金森氏病）.

　　For the next thirteen years I took 28 pills a day,had horrible side effects,and even with all those pills I still had lots of shaking and tremors（颤抖）.I only went out during peak times,when I was looking and feeling my best.But that wasnt often and I really couldnt do much of anything.I felt like the life I loved was over,said Wayne.

　　Then Waynes doctor in Green Bay suggested he consider a breakthrough surgical option being offered at Froedtert the Medical College of Wisconsin called Deep Brain Stimulation（刺激）（DBS）.DBS is a surgical option used to treat disabling movement disorders related to Parkinsons disease,essential tremor and more.It is not a cure,but significant improvement is seen in most movement disorder cases,with relatively low risk to the patient.
