加人患失智症30年後料倍增
加拿大在未來30年內患有失智症的患者人數將增加一倍，儘管聯邦政府和安省政府均制訂了失智症戰略，但由於長期護理中心人滿為患，愈來愈多的失智症患者不得不留在家中，給照顧他們的護理人員提供教育已成為當務之急，以安省為例，現時有超過22萬名居民和他們的家庭受到失智症的影響。
約克區華人精神健康計劃與頤康中心、約克區認知障礙症協會攜手合作，在昨天聯合舉辦了第二屆失智症會議。是次會議以在社工和在長期護理中心等機構工作的護士和個人護理員等專業人士為對象，旨在幫助與會者充分了解安省的失智症戰略概要，以及該戰略將如何由失智症協會實施。….[轉載明報專訊]

《Stroke amongst Chinese Canadians with Diabetes》 __ Joseph Chu (71)
Here is a recently published article in the Canadian Journal of Diabetes by my student and me on the subject:JoesepChu_170523
Although it is a peer-reviewed scientific article, I trust the conclusions and recommendations are easy for non-medical people to understand.
It looks like that Chinese with stroke have a higher frequency of Diabetes and their prognosis fair worst even if their blood pressure severity is not as bad.
火龍果開花 __ Don Chen (71)
家種火龍果，從來未開花。今早起床，驚艷大花朵盛放。
淡淡的黃花苞，淺綠色的花蕊，白色的花瓣，就如佳人臉孔，向我狂笑。
讀書/練功札記（一）『 入靜』__ 梁梓堅 (71)
中國傳統養生之道，修練氣功歴史悠久，廣泛流傳。儒道佛三家對此都有其獨特方法，師承及見解。儒家藉修練氣功，強身健體外，主旨是達至：
開發聰明才智，改善人格，陶冶性情。
矯正自己的習氣。
擴充先天之稟賦，即“盡性之功夫”，以後天有為之功夫，改善個人先天之稟賦。
儒家認為，影響練功成績至大的，是“ 入靜 ” 的深淺。而「涵養道德」，則為
“ 入靜 ” 深淺之關鍵。
現先談 “ 入靜 ”。

養生之道__余晃英選輯
采自《香海千歲宴雅集銀禧記念》編輯及出版者:香海千歲宴雅集編印委員會, 
編校者:陳志民、李佳、盧聲雁,一九八零年庚申九月十九日出版。
[按:香海千歲宴雅集成立於一九五五年。陳玉泉、許愛周、盧湘父等約集耆英十數人會讌於建國酒家,合計千有餘歲,故名。參加雅集者各界人士都有,都是社會賢達。一九八零年庚申銀禧之年,編印紀念集。两則有關養生的經驗談,出於該紀念集第48頁及109頁。至於第二則下半和第一則雷同,相信或許两醫師徵引同一書籍,或許記錄者引第一則該部份而為虞醫師首肯所致。]
陳存仁醫師 (1908-1990)撰 張大千 (1899-1983)書
虞文彬醫師 談話, 陳志民記
長壽之道。先要健康。不吸烟。不飲酒。節飲食。慎寒暑。少色慾。多運動。常寬懷。不怒氣。遇事能忍。早眠及早起。此乃老人延壽之方。忍是幸福之泉源。能忍不易患心臟病及血壓。忍并不是懦怯。而是勇敢的行為。心慈仁愛曰仁。仁者多福。仁者長壽。喜怒不縈於胸襟。煩惱不擾於方寸。更可免生胆石。縱遇不治症。自有回天之功。毋慮毋憂。即是長生聖藥。常開笑口。便是卻病延年。養生衹此真締。無他奧妙。==============================================================
