WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2017 ❚ SIUSLAW NEWS Y 4. Problem Solving/Creativity: Problem solving requires a willingness to be creative and think outside the box. Professionals who are willing to be pa- tient and approach problems from all angles are more likely to fi nd solutions, and to be noticed by their supervisors for their resourcefulness. 5. Emotional Intelligence: Emo- tional intelligence (EQ) is as valuable as IQ in the workplace: having persever- ance, self-control and the ability to get along with others is necessary throughout one’s career. According to TalentSmart, 90 percent of top performers have high emotional intelligence6. Fifty-eight per- cent of job performance is also attributed to EQ7. 6. Professionalism: Adult learners can begin to incorporate professional behavior in the classroom through their approach to learning, teamwork, tackling assignments and accomplishing their ed- ucational goals. The professionalism nec- essary to successfully complete a degree program, especially as a working adult who may be balancing other responsibili- ties, can create a strong foundation that will translate into the workplace.

Suggested Solutions Recommendations include: • Federal government should in- crease funding for research at the Na- tional Institutes of Health and the Cen- ters for Disease Control and Prevention to reduce gaps in evidence related to hypoglycemia prevention and manage- ment; • Insurance companies and health care providers should look for ways to incorporate continuous glucose moni- toring data into clinical decision making to prevent and manage hypoglycemia in high-risk individuals; • Diabetes educators, patient advo- cacy groups and social workers should engage patients and caregivers regard- ing self-management techniques as well as protective rights in the workplace; and • Hypoglycemia-specifi c education should be targeted by age and gender, sensitive to the amount of time a patient has available, and include training from behaviorists, nurses, dietitians and exer- cise physiologists. Endocrinologists are at the core of solving some of the most press- ing health problems of our time, from diabetes and obesity to infertility, bone health, and hormone-related cancers. The Endocrine Society is the world’s oldest and largest organization of sci- entists devoted to hormone research and physicians who care for people with hormone-related conditions. The Soci- ety, which is celebrating its centennial, has more than 18,000 members, includ- ing scientists, physicians, educators, nurses and students.

S ERVICES D-057 (NAPSA)—If you or someone you care about is among the more than 29 million Americans living with diabe- tes—of the additional 86 million who are at risk for developing the disease?— there’s something you should know. The Problem One complication of diabetes, hypo- glycemia, occurs most often in people taking medications as treatments that may raise insulin levels too high, which can cause blood glucose levels to drop too low. Hypoglycemia can be danger- ous and, depending on the severity, can lead to various symptoms including diz- ziness, confusion, anxiety, seizure or loss of consciousness. It’s a particular problem in hospi- talized patients. Low blood sugar, also known as hypoglycemia, is associated with increased short- and long-term mortality risk, per a new study pub- lished in the Endocrine Society’s Jour- nal of Clinical Endocrinology & Me- tabolism. To increase awareness of hypogly- cemia in persons with diabetes melli- tus and to foster initiatives focused on reducing its incidence, the Endocrine Society established the Hypoglycemia Quality Collaborative (HQC), a coali- tion of medical specialty societies, pay- ers, industry, patient advocates, diabetes educators and research organizations. Seeking Answers “Hypoglycemia is common among hospitalized patients with and without diabetes mellitus,” explained the study’s senior author, Amit Akirov, M.D., of Rabin Medical Center in Petah Tikva, Israel. “Our fi ndings suggest that hy- poglycemia, whether insulin related or noninsulin related, is associated with short- and long-term mortality risk.” The study included nearly 3,000 patients with hypoglycemia, defi ned as blood glucose levels < 70 mg/dL, during hospitalization at a 1,330-bed, university-affi liated medical center. Re- searchers evaluated medical records and the hospital’s mortality database to in- vestigate the association between hypo- glycemia and mortality in hospitalized patients. They found that for patients with hypoglycemia, end of follow-up mortality was 31.9 percent. Mortality risk was higher in insulin- treated patients with moderate hypo- glycemia (40–70 mg/dL), compared to patients without insulin treatment with similar glucose values. However, with severe hypoglycemia (<40 mg/dL), the increase in mortality risk was similar with insulin-related and noninsulin- related hypoglycemia. Cause of admis- sion did not affect the association be- tween glucose levels and mortality. “These data are a timely reminder that hypoglycemia of any cause carries the association with increased mortal- ity,” said Akirov. CCB#203797 (NAPSA)—From preschool through college, teachers are instructed to build students’ academic skills, like reading, writing and arithmetic. However, stu- dents leave the classroom untested for many skills that are directly applicable to one’s career. Soft skills may not be “graded,” but they can make or break your career. Soft skills are increasingly important to success in the workplace; it’s no lon- ger enough to rely on technical skills to set yourself apart. Employees must also demonstrate highly developed interper- sonal skills, which contribute to a positive work culture and promote strong team- work and enhanced leadership abilities. And employers are looking for employ- ees who are effi cient and demonstrate the ability to manage their time wisely, whether it’s juggling multiple projects or avoiding personal distractions.1 A recent 2016 national curriculum survey conducted by the American Col- lege Test (ACT) found that supervisors and employees ranked the lack of three nonacademic skill areas—conscientious- ness, problem solving and critical think- ing—among the top fi ve skills most like- ly or very likely to lead to a poor outcome for an employee2. “Soft skills begin to develop at a very young age, and it’s essential to support the growth of these skills,” said Con- stance St. Germain, J.D., Ed.D., execu- tive dean for University of Phoenix Col- leges of Humanities & Sciences, Social Sciences, and Security and Criminal Jus- tice. “Integrating soft skills into our cur- riculum alongside technical knowledge is an integral approach that University of Phoenix uses to prepare our students for success in the workplace.” Dr. St. Germain highlights the fol- lowing as among the most valuable soft skills: 1. Communication: Effective com- munication skills, both written and ver- bal, are integral to success in any indus- try. A recent Pew Research Center survey found that communication ranked fi rst among the skills that Americans believe are most important for children to have to get ahead in the world3. 2. Critical Thinking: According to the ACT survey, more postsecondary sci- ence instructors cited weakness in criti- cal thinking than in content knowledge as most likely to contribute to a poor outcome for a student4. Critical thinking skills are necessary to navigate a variety of workplace challenges, including mak- ing big decisions and communicating a point of view. 3. Collaboration: Collaboration is key to a company’s success, especially as the landscape of industry demands continues to evolve. According to Cisco, over the past 20 years, as companies have begun to automate or outsource many structured or process-oriented tasks, much of the work that remains is com- plex and highly collaborative5. 999 ✦ PUBLIC NOTICES Low Blood Glucose Can Be Highly Dangerous Woman’s Heart Week Feb. 1 – Feb. 7 or bring in a clipping to attach to your entry into the drawing for a gift certificate.
