Do you struggle with eyelid redness, crusties, missing lashes, itching or eyelid inflammation? If yes – you may be one of the millions of Americans living with a common but often misdiagnosed eyelid disease called Demodex blepharitis (DB)!

Demodex blepharitis is an eyelid disease caused by an infestation of microscopic mites.1 When these mites overpopulate, they can cause discomfort and irritation. In fact, 50% of patients with Demodex blepharitis reported their eyes itched frequently or all the time.2 It’s estimated that approximately 25 million eye care patients in the U.S. are affected by this disease1 — that’s 1 out of every 12 adults!

Don’t like the idea of tiny critters living on your eyelids? The diagnosis is easy and can be confirmed through a routine eye exam with an optometrist or ophthalmologist. When left untreated, Demodex blepharitis can leave you more prone to other eye-related diseases. 3

Fortunately, there are treatment options available to help target and kill mites.

Join leading optometrist, Cory Lappin who can discuss the importance of eye health, including how an eye exam can reveal common eyelid diseases like Demodex blepharitis and shed light on other serious health problems.

National Engineers Week gets underway on February 19th – which coincides with the birthday of President George Washington – America’s first engineer. It is also a time to emphasize the importance of learning math, science, and technical skills. Observances like this help ensure a diverse workforce by increasing understand of and interest in engineering careers.

Engineers play a crucial role in the growth and welfare of the nation by solving the toughest engineering challenges. With sustainability as a guiding principle, engineers work to strengthen the nation’s security by building and maintaining America’s water resources infrastructure and providing military facilities where service members train, work and live.

Learn more about engineering roles – especially in the Army Reserve– during this important segment.

National Engineers Weekcalls attention to the significant contributions of engineers at our nation’stop organizations, including the U.S. Army Reserve.Engineers play a vital role in the growth and welfare of the nation by solvingthe toughest challenges. With sustainability as a guiding principle, ArmyReserve engineers work to strengthen the nation’s resilience by building andmaintaining infrastructure and water resources.

With roots dating backto the American Revolution in 1778, the Army continues to prioritizeengineering and innovation at home and abroad. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineersis researching and developing technology for our Soldiers stationed in othercountries. These Soldiers are also using their expertise to protect and restoreAmerica’s environment including critical efforts in the Everglades, theLouisiana coast, and along many of our nation’s major waterways. Army ReserveSoldiers have the advantage of bringing unique civilian skills such as smallbusiness management and advanced engineering degrees to the job, making themparticularly well-suited for emergency and disaster response.

Engineering roles arecritical positions within all military branches, especially the Army Reserve.Observances like National Engineers Week help ensure a diverse workforce byraising awareness and understanding of and generating interest in engineeringcareers.

Good News is shared by Army Reserve ColonelAndrew Sinelli, Commander, 301st Forward Engineer Support Team-Main, to learn more about the vital role engineers fulfill in theArmy Reserve. Col. Sinelli will discuss the latest achievements and high-demandSTEM capabilities found in the Army Reserve. Interview courtesy: U.S. ArmyReserve

What is the Hardest Thing to Break?
Surprisingly the answer is HABIT
If you Break the H,
You still have ‘A BIT’,
If you Break the ‘A’,
You still have BIT,
If you Break the ‘B”,
You still have ‘IT’,
Even after you break the ‘T’ in IT,
There is still the ‘I’,
And that ‘I’ is the Root cause of all problems.

Just as you may not run as fast or jump as high as you did as a teenager,your brain’s cognitive power—that is, your ability to learn, remember, and solve problems—slows down with age. You may find it harder to summon once familiar facts or divide your attention among two or more activities or sources of information. These changes affect your ability to focus, so you may find yourself getting more easily distracted than you were when you were younger.Hearing loss that often accompanies aging makes it more difficult to distinguish speech in a noisy environment. Because hearing then requires more concentration than usual, even mild loss of the ability to focus can affect speech comprehension.

Most people start to notice changes as they enter their 50s and 60s. Although these changes can cause consternation, most age-related memory and thinking problems don’t stem from an underlying brain disease such as Alzheimer’s disease. Instead, what appears to be a memory problem may simply reflect a slower processing speed and poor encoding and retrieval of new memories as a result of diminished attention. However, even though your brain may be slower to learn and recall new information, your ability to make sense of what you know and to form reasonable arguments and judgments remains intact.

Many of these limitations are reversible and related to poor sleep, but structural changes that take place in your brain as you age can explain some of these developments, too. Brain regions involved with memory processing, such as the hippocampus and especially the frontal lobes, undergo anatomical and neurochemical changes over time.

The result is that as you age, it takes longer to absorb, process, and remember new information. The natural loss of receptors and neurons that occurs with aging may also make it harder to concentrate. Therefore, you not only learn information more slowly, but you also may have more trouble recalling it because you didn’t fully learn it in the first place. With slower processing, facts held in working memory may dissipate before you have had a chance to solve a problem.

In addition, the ability to perform tasks that involve executive function declines with age. Many people learn to compensate for these changes by relying on habit most of the time and devoting extra effort to focus on new information they are trying to learn.

Even the aches and pains of getting older can affect focus. Pain itself is distracting, and some of the medications used to treat it also can affect concentration.

For more information on conquering distractions and finding focus, check out Improving Concentration and Focus, an online guide from Harvard Medical School.
