Things all hearts ..but no flowers (sob!)..We had heart shaped biscuits, decorations and posters to launch our 'Book a Librarian ' service on Valentine's day. We had a great response and sessions have already been booked and delivered. It's not too late for you to ask us for help as this is an ongoing service. You can find out more on this page of our website or by clicking on the button on our catalogue to the right of the search box.
Remember a Librarian is for life not just for Valentine's Day!
Things about exercise...
So after the biscuits this study The Beneficial Effects of Physical Activity: Is It Down to Your Genes? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Twin and Family Studies. caught our attention. The authors conclude that:
"Shared familial factors, including genetics, are likely to be a significant contributor to the response of body composition and cardiorespiratory fitness following Physical Activity (PA). Genetic factors may explain individual variation in the response to PA."
Things for teddies...
Do you have a tummy ache...has all the stuffing been knocked out of you? Then bring your owners with you to Teddy Bear Hospital where bears (or other stuffed toys!) will have the opportunity for a one to one consultation with a teddy bear doctor. Activity stations include an "MRI scan", a look at an x-ray, having teddy bandaged and getting advice on how to stay healthy. Teddy bear dentists will also be on hand for top tips on dental health. Children and teddies are asked to please bring an adult with them!
Teddy Bear Hospital is a Sheffield Students' Union Society which aims to reduce the anxiety that children can experience when visiting the doctor or dentist, as well as promoting child health. This activity forms part of the Sheffield Volunteering programme. 10am - 16.30pm, Saturday 18 February
Free, no booking required Weston Park Museum
Things about drooling...
A NICE evidence summary was published this week on Severe sialorrhoea (drooling) in children and young people with chronic neurological disorders: oral glycopyrronium bromide. This new medicine. Glycopyrronium bromide (Sialanar) is an antimuscarinic (anticholinergic) medicine licensed in September 2016 for the symptomatic treatment of severe sialorrhoea (chronic pathological drooling) in children and adolescents aged 3 years and older with chronic neurological disorders.

You might be interested to know that this week was the 55 years since the Sheffield 'Hurricane' The storm got 'trapped' between Sheffield's hills and caused devastation across the city. I remember being carried downstairs in the middle of the night and my father wearing a large saucepan on his head when he ventured outside to protect himself from flying slates and debris!
Things about eyes...
The Royal College of Ophthalmologists have commissioned The Way Forward to identify current methods of working and schemes devised by ophthalmology departments in the UK to help meet the increasing demand in ophthalmic services.
