If you smoke, you're hurting your body. That much we know. But did you know that just being around someone who smoked today is causing you bodily harm?  Smoking is a leading cause of death in America. But it often gets slated as other things, medically speaking. Deaths may be attributed to COPD, asthma or even diabetes — which are exacerbated by, or caused by, smoking.  "If you don't smoke, you're already doing the No. 1 thing you could do to not get one of these horrible diseases — preventable, but horrible diseases. The second thing you can do is to not be exposed to second-hand or third-hand smoke," said Todd Mahr, a Gundersen Health System allergist, immunologist and expert on the harmfulness of smoking.  Second-hand smoke might entail being in a car with somebody who was smoking.

Metronidazole is an antibiotic and antiprotozoal medication that is commonly used in dogs for multiple reasons, most frequently to treat diarrhea.  Let's take a closer look at what this drug is, when it should and shouldn't be used, possible side effects, and more. What is metronidazole for dogs? Metronidazole, also known by its trade name Flagyl, is an antimicrobial medication that is effective against some anaerobic bacteria and protozoa. Metronidazole kills susceptible microorganisms by interfering with the structure of their DNA and causing subsequent cell death.

A 71-year-old man presented to the emergency department with a 4-month history of weight loss, anorexia and constipation, and a 2-week history of abdominal pain. He had biopsy-proven immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease involving the pancreas and kidneys with 2 episodes of Gram-negative bacteremia over the past 3 years. The first episode was attributed to cholangitis and the second to a suspected obstructive pancreatic cancer. For these reasons, he underwent a cholecystectomy and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy; no cancer was found. During the previous 3 years, he had received multiple courses of immunosuppressive medications for flares of IgG4-related disease, including rituximab, mycophenolate mofetil and many courses of high-dose steroids (Figure 1). About 1 month before presentation, he had been started on high-dose steroids to treat a flare of IgG4-related disease causing acute kidney injury. He had immigrated from China 40 years earlier and had not travelled recently. When we e...

Your cat may have worms if they are vomiting, losing weight, or you see worms in their stool. Cats may get roundworms, tapeworms, hookworms, or heartworms. You can treat a worm infestation with anti-parasitic medications. Worms are a common issue for cats. In fact, as many as 45% of cats have worms at any given time.  "Worms are common, especially in kittens, newly adopted cats, and cats who spend time outdoors," says Amanda McNabb, DVM, a veterinarian in private practice. Your cat may show symptoms of worms, such as vomiting — but not all cats exhibit signs of a worm infestation.  Worms are not always dangerous, but severe worm infections can damage your cat's intestines, cause weight loss, or even lead to death in kittens. That's why it's important to get regular checks from ...
