A blockchain is a specific database stored in an electronic form. The databases stored in a block are put in a chain. When new data is added, it will be put in a new block. The blockchain may be created for storing different kind of information in which the most popular use of blockchain is ledger for transactions. Anything of value can be put in a blockchain, and this will reduce risk factors and cost. The blockchain is a chain of blocks used to store public databases. The blockchain can be a powerful tool in business applications for sharing and updating data. The blockchain may be used for the business process for handling transaction-related problems in an effective manner. The blockchain is also helpful in developing an ecosystem between various stakeholders. The policies, benefits, and cost are serious risk factors.

High blood pressure, or hypertension, can cause serious health problems. It makes your heart work harder and can damage your blood vessels even if you feel okay. Everyone should have their blood pressure checked regularly. If you have certain risk factors, you are more likely to have high blood pressure. This 6-page fact sheet is a major revision that discusses risk factors and ways to reduce risk.

An estimated 47 million people worldwide are living with dementia in 2015 and this number is expected to triple by 2050. There is a clear urgency for therapies and / or interventions to slow, stop or prevent dementia. Amounting evidence suggests strategies to reduce risk of development dementia may be of growing import for reducing the number of individuals affected. The Alzheimer’s Association believes, from a population based perspective that: (1) Regular physical activity and management of cardiovascular risk factors (e.g. diabetes, obesity, smoking and hypertension) have been shown to reduce the risk of cognitive decline and may reduce the risk of dementia; (2) A healthy diet and lifelong learning/cognitive training may also reduce the risk of cognitive decline. The current evidence underscores the need to communicate to the broader population what the science indicates and to do so with diverse stakeholders and consistent messaging. There has never been a better time to define and distribute global messaging on public health for dementia.

For more than half a century fellows of the National Academy of Kinesiology have enthusiastically advocated for the promotion and adoption of physically active lifestyles as an affordable and effective means to prevent chronic diseases and conditions, and enhance independence and high quality of life for older adults. It is possible to discern distinct evolutionary stages when examining scholarship related to the role of physical activity in the promotion of healthy aging. Research into physical activity and aging began with critical early studies that established the underlying scientific evidence for a relationship between physical activity and healthy aging. More recent work has addressed such topics as building consumer demand, developing policies and legislation to support active aging, and understanding the complex interrelationships between physical activity and other lifestyle factors in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases and conditions. It is increasingly apparent that strategies to promote active and successful aging must be integrated into an effective public policy. Kinesiologists and other health professionals, working in collaboration with colleagues from other disciplines, can help to reduce risk factors for chronic disease and improve quality of life for older adults by building awareness of the importance of physical activity and by assisting with the development and implementation of appropriate and effective interventions that reduce risk factors and improve quality of life.

Artery Disease

Patients undergoing cardiac surgery are at elevated risk for perioperative complications; however, certain risk factors may be modifiable. Preoperative evaluation performed in advance of surgery provides an opportunity for the perioperative anesthesiologist to intervene to reduce risk. Performing a focused history and physical examination informs the selection of appropriate preoperative tests. Risk assessment via tools specific to cardiac surgery provide a detailed risk profile. Certain diseases common to cardiac surgical patients deserve particular focus during assessment. Poorly controlled diabetes mellitus and resultant hyperglycemia are modifiable risk factors. Undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea is common and associated with postoperative complications. Concurrent carotid artery disease presents a management conundrum requiring multidisciplinary planning. Preoperative anemia is common; when due to iron deficiency, it is easily treated to improve outcomes. In addition to gathering information about the patient, the goal of preoperative evaluation is to identify ways to reduce risk and improve outcome from surgery in a resource-efficient manner.

A Chain

A lapse refers to an initial episode of substance use following a period of abstinence. A lapse may or may not lead to more substance use. Clients always run the risk that a lapse will turn into a relapse, in which they continue to use alcohol or other drugs. A lapse or relapse is the last link in a chain of decisions, and how one responds to an initial lapse has a big impact on whether or not one has a full-blown relapse. The goals of this chapter are to understand the difference between lapse and relapse, to learn about relapse prevention strategies, and to learn to identify and manage relapse warning signs and high-risk factors.

Reduce Risk Factor

The growing adult population with congenital heart disease (CHD) are getting older and their clinical presentation and outcomes are likely to be determined not only by their underlying CHD, but also by the development of acquired cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis. This begins in childhood. The adult CHD population have multiple cardiovascular risk factors, as found in the general population, including obesity, smoking, and sedentary behaviour. Adults with complex congenital heart circulation are likely to be particularly vulnerable to the development of acquired arterial disease. Maintenance of ‘ideal cardiovascular health’ from childhood, is a key target, as leveraged gains can be achieved by early intervention to reduce risk factor exposure.

Using Data

The process model matching is a critical step in many business process management activities. Process model matching consists of finding correspondences between activities of process models. This article presents a method for matching process model. The proposed method matches (i.e., aligns) two process models in three sequential steps. First, activities in the two process models are extracted. Second, the extracted activities are expanded using synonyms, hypernyms, and hyponyms of its composing words. These synonyms, hypernyms, and hyponyms are extracted from the WordNet thesaurus. Third, the expanded activities are compared using the Monge-Elkan similarity metric to detect matches. An empirical study was conducted on three well known datasets to evaluate the proposed method. The results of the experiment showed that the proposed method has the potential to match business process models in an effective manner when step two of the method is based on synonyms and hypernyms.
