The scale also has a black background in the murky history of obesity treatments. Millions around the world have been punished (and still do) for the results obtained in the scale. Pay little attention to their weight and more interest to the circumference of your body.

The biggest drawback there is that the scale has low specificity.
Specificity is a term frequently used in medicine and its meaning is the following: the ability of a study to accurately define or diagnose any disease.

For example, the thermometer is not very specific. We can not tell if someone has a fever because you are infected, recently presented a cerebral hemorrhage, have developed some form of cancer, or is an allergic reaction.
The weight is changed for many reasons that have nothing to do with reducing or increasing body fat. I will present some examples to explain this situation:
EXAMPLE 1: A distraught woman decides to be weighed daily to know exactly when to start getting fat. Finds, with surprise, that despite care in an exaggerated way, you gain weight in their menstrual cycle. Decided wrongly punished are getting fatter and even more your diet, when the real cause of the increase is menstruation.

EXAMPLE 2: A couple decides to vacation in a warm place and notes that after two days increases by two pounds. Start a diet full reduction in rental, even though her clothes still remains the same. She does not know that any increase in temperature favors accumulation of water with no weight gain and increased body fat.

Example 3: A young man decides to take care of yourself with exercise and was disappointed to realize that instead of losing weight is rising. In nothing is the explanation of the coach who says the increase is due to increased muscle and even though your clothes fit looser, decided to suspend the exercise not to continue gaining weight.

EXAMPLE 4: A young woman goes to a party, where you take two glasses of alcoholic beverages. Notes horrified that after 48 hours up to two kilos of weight and decided to go on a diet to eliminate what has risen. She does not know that alcohol consumption favors temporary retention of fluids and do not increase body fat.

Example 5: A woman decides to go with the fashionable doctor to lose weight and out of the office with a bag full of pills, drops and powders. From day one note to be run to the bathroom every half hour and the scale clearly shows he has lost 4 or 5 pounds. Ignored their urgent needs to go to the bathroom and continued with his treatment, without realizing it, or worse, deceiving themselves into believing that weight loss is fat reduction, not elimination of water caused by a diuretic.

Example 6: A man accustomed yourself with diets lower in sugars. On one occasion, making a dessert and the next day is increased by two pounds. Incorrectly concluded (despite his clothes being remains the same) to 100 grams of cake have become two kilograms of fat. He does not know that diets low in sugar content so dehydrated that taking one and recovered 2 kg of sugar water and not body fat.
The scale does not precisely define the increase or decrease body fat. Worse, does not determine how much excess we have. Get on the scale to weigh fat, muscle, water, bone and viscera. We can not know how much of our weight for each one of them.
Excess fat is more precisely define the measuring tape to measure the abdomen and hip circumferences.
The martyrdom led to weigh not only unnecessary, it is also unrealistic to think that the scale can tell us how much we have lost or retain fat diets.

If an individual muscle up as fat can be removed to gain weight and should not be interpreted as poor performance or increased obesity. If weight loss may be due to muscle and not fat.

Losing weight often means that there is a disease.
Torture, sadness, anxiety or possibly happiness we experience the ever pesarnos is related to the fat in your body.
Is it worth it weigh? If done correctly, can serve as one of many indicators to clarify the changes generated by the diets.
body through which the medicine is called anthropometry. This is a contrived word for a relatively simple measurement of body with tape. If at some point in their life has gone to a tailor to fix an item you already know the anthropometry.
Anyone with a genuine interest in reducing excess fat (and not only be deceiving you want to) must learn to measure their circumferences of the body.

BodyTrace is a digital body weights that have a wireless connection to connect to the internet.
The advantages of this scale, when you weigh, the weight will be automatically uploaded to their web (wirelessly) which means that all people from around the world can see how your weight.

In this way, BodyTrace expected to motivate the user to quickly lose weight is already visible fat.

Scale BodyTrace sold for U.S. $ 120 (approximately Rp. 1200000) and to be Uploaded into their web, we are also obliged to pay the cost of U.S. $ 20 (approximately Rp. 200,000) for the 3 months.

The BodyTrace eScale is a bathroom scale that wirelessly uploads and displays the user’s weight at the BodyTrace Website. Since it’s using wireless connection it does not require any software confguration for use. The Website’s motivational interface encourages users to share progress, exercise ideas, recipes and lets people create groups made up of friends, family, or co-workers to work jointly towards a common goal. Users can even upload progress pictures to motivate themselves and others!

The comprehensive weight monitoring system includes interactive weight and BMI charts, food diary and intake calculator that gives guidelines on fat, protein, water, carbs and calories.

Not sure exactly, whether this way will be successful or not and we think these considerations should be given great speakers who will read the results of your weight as hard as possible so that the village will know. Well, it might just be successful.

The software displays a very realistic with which patients can practice all the venipuncture protocol. Students must use the right tool every time and in proper order, otherwise it stops the simulation. Students must choose the appropriate size of needle, using appropriate antiseptic technique and prick the vein at the precise angle using the injection device connected to your computer.

By introducing the needle, students may notice a resistance similar to that received in real patients. And if the puncture is not correct, the ‘virtual patient’ audibly expresses pain. Once completed, the exercise computer system makes note to the student.

Director of Nursing, Maria Jesus Nunez, said the dummy-patient is the “cornerstone” of the simulation unit that opened yesterday in that college, and to “provide students the best way to practice to have one of the best art simulators that are in Galicia and in almost all of Spain, as only three other universities have it. ”

The unit was inaugurated by the Vice Chancellor of the European Higher Education Area, Maximum Plo Casaus, the rector of University Community, José Manuel Mayán, and the manager of the 061, Antonio Iglesias, as well as faculty and students.

Once dubbed the classroom, the students got down to work and began practicing with the simulator, as explained by Maria Jesus Nunez, “through a software can reproduce any possible disease: myocardial infarction, respiratory failure, pulmonary edema, sprains, appendicitis or fracture.

But students can not only do resuscitation in the event of a heart attack, but can also manage, through the drug of their choice. If you make the right treatment, the patient will be saved, otherwise, will not recover. “All this may prove through a monitoring system,” said the director of the School of Nursing.

Nunez said the simulator will be used in the Master of health care and care management, and also in the degree of Nursing. In the near future also provides for use by residents of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

The acquisition of advanced simulator-at a cost of 36,000 euros is the result of an agreement between the University of Santiago and the Xunta de Galicia.

The implementation and operation of the classroom simulation has received the “valuable” partnership of 061, Nunez said.

The doctor was delayed in traffic. The nurses checked the vital signs calmly told him that will bid and even comforted.

“Everything’s fine, Mom,” the patient told the nurse Jascinth Brown, Plantation General Hospital. Fifteen minutes later, a premature but healthy baby was born with feet first.

Although the situation seemed real, the patient was a life-size mannequin named Noel. Within artificial baby had a cord and all.

Medical simulators have come a long way since the 60s, when first used a dummy named Annie to teach CPR. Using sensors and computer to mimic human reactions bodies, mannequins respond to anesthesia and mimic heart attacks and arrhythmias. They breathe, bleed, cry, speak and even give birth.

And its use has grown rapidly in Florida, where dozens of hospitals, universities, high schools and fire departments use them.

“They seem real,” said Brown, who was attentive to his patient’s vital signs on monitors during a recent training activity organized by the Florida Atlantic University (FAU). “I’ve worked in labs at the School of Nursing, but I’ve never seen a real game. Here we simulate a birth.”

Experts believe that the simulations improved medical services to provide an opportunity for students to learn critical skills and make mistakes in a realistic setting, without compromising the patient’s life. Students are tested and sometimes filmed during the drills.

The trainers then discussed ways in which students can improve their skills.

Plantation nurses said they had blood drawn to the pregnant patient, a mistake that they will never commit.

“They gained experience and confidence they need before getting into a situation where they do can mean life or death of a patient,”said Mark Goldstein, director of FAU simulation center.

After six weeks of classes and simulations, nurses begin to deal with patients.

FAU has two simulation centers, one in his compound in Boca Raton and one in St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach, where the simulation took place recently. The exercise of labor was part of a new convention to which the university helps train nurses from 12 medical centers in Hospital Corporation of America in South Florida and elsewhere.

The Research Center of Medical Education Michael S. Gordon, Faculty of Medicine, University of Miami (UM) is a simulation centers oldest and best established in the country. Gordon, MD, UM professor, invented in 1968 a cardiac patient simulator called Harvey that is often used.

This method has been tested by a team from the CSIRO Australian E-Health Research Center (AEHRC) and Queensland Health. They use cell phones to collect and deliver health information and also monitor the activities of patients from their homes to a central computer data via Bluetooth.

Head AEHRc Dr Phil Gurney said less than 20 percent of patients after cardiac surgery should follow the recovery program for six weeks, should be back and forth to the hospital to check on their health condition.

“Therefore we provide this technology to meet those needs,” Gurney said as quoted from the ABC Science.

Cell phone used in this method has advanced accelerator that measures physical activity such as number of patients footsteps every day. Patients can also use their phones to record data and the level of blood pressure scale.

Patients were asked to photograph what they ate breakfast, recording video at the time they exercise, and using an electronic diary on the phone to record the data of stress levels, dietary habits, smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages.

“We try to utilize existing technology to each patient’s condition can be monitored well and save time and cost,” added Gurney.
