Scorpions to Snakes; Bites and Stings That Hurt the Most
ABC News
Usually measuring in at one to three inches in length it is a critter that still packs a venomous sting. In children the poison from a single sting can lead to irregular eye movements involuntary thrashing of limbs breathing difficulties and other symptoms. Its sting made headlines today with the release of a new study in the New England Journal of Medicine suggesting that an experimental anti-venom medication used in Mexico but not approved for use in the United States appears effective in helping children recover quickly.
Peanut butter ‘” not sugar ‘” helps the medicine go down for pets
Foster's Daily Democrat
“She doesn’t recommend a full regimen of “people food” for disguising pills but said “I usually tell people it’s K to take a tiny piece of cheese the tiniest you can get away with and use that to get the pills down. When all the pills are taken you stop giving them the cheese. That way they associate getting a treat with their medicine and they’re not expecting it all the time. “Smaller pills sometimes can be soaked in chicken broth or water to soften them and some pharmacists are able to compound pills into a paste form but it is an extra expense that some may not want or be able to afford. There are also new cross-dermal ointments that can be rubbed on a cat’s or dog’s ear to soak in through the skin which can be a help to someone like a senior citizen who lives alone but again there is added expense involved. To give a cat medicine the first thing is to grab a big handful of neck scruff tip the cat’s head back so the nose points straight up and poke the pill or dropper of liquid medicine into the inside pocket of the mouth. “It’s nature’s reflex” she said.

Cancer Patients Challenge the Patenting of a Gene
New York Times
Companies like Myriad based in Salt Lake City have argued that the patent system promotes innovation by giving companies the temporary monopoly that rewards their substantial investment in research and development. Richard Marsh Myriad’s general counsel said company officials would not be able to comment on the lawsuit until they had fully reviewed the complaint. The coalition of plaintiffs argues that gene patents actually restrict the practice of medicine and new research. “With a sole provider there’s mediocrity” said.
NATURE IN SHRT / Hares and rabbits: Similar but different creatures
The Daily Yomiuri
In front of the shrine nestles a small pond the waters of which are said to never rise or fall. Around the edge of the pond grow cattails (gama in Japanese) the very plant used to cure the hare’s skin problems. In addition to being humble and open-hearted kuni-nushi also knew his herbal medicine. Even today cattail pollen is available in Kampo pharmacies as Ho-o. Among this medicine’s many uses is treatment of minor burns and skin abrasions. In the episode the hare had been washed out to sea during a torrential rain and stranded on an offshore island. The clever animal tricked some fierce sea creatures into lining up so he could jump across their backs and thereby get back to the mainland.
Sustainability in health care
Malta Independent nline
f course the primary care doctor who referred them would not have had the means to assess the patient fully. Sometimes a GP wants an X-ray rather quickly; the only place to send the patient to is casualty. For a long time family medicine the main player in primary care was considered by many the Cinderella of the profession. This is certainly not the case any longer. Doctors are highly trained and the Malta College of Family Doctors has seen to it that formal post-graduate training is to be put into place. Moreover vocational training has been set up within the Department of Health for all doctors to work in health care. This was a direct result of EU requirements.
FXSexpert: Too Skinny? Not Sexy

f the anorexics who are sexually active many report lower rates of overall sexual activity and orgasm and higher rates of negative emotions during sex. They also rarely engage in sexual fantasy. But other studies like one published in the journal Psychological Medicine report that some females with anorexia report increased sexual activity despite lowered libido. This is because many women suffering from this eating disorder become hypersexual using sex as an expression of power. They enjoy the control involved even when it becomes self-destructive. Sexual Functioning Having an eating disorder is also linked to deficient sexual functioning in women when they become sexually active. When a female severely reduces her intake of food to the point she’s consuming hardly anything naturally her reproductive system shuts down.
