In 1847, a doctor performed an amputation in 25 seconds, operating so quickly that he accidentally amputated his assistant's fingers as well. Both later died of sepsis, and a spectator reportedly died of shock, resulting in the only known procedure with a 300% mortality rate.

🔴Heartworm disease is a potentially fatal, but preventable, infection caused by a worm parasite, Dirofilaria immitis.
▪️The organism is transmitted by mosquitoes, which carry the heartworm larvae (called microfilariae) from an infected animal host to a new animal host. ▪️Once the larvae arrive in a new host, they grow into adult worms in several months and live in the blood vessels that serve the heart and lungs. In advanced infections, the heartworms enter the heart as well.
▪️The presence of parasites stresses the dog’s heart and causes inflammation of the blood vessels and lungs. In addition, severe complications are possible when the number of worms present becomes high or when the heartworms die. ▪️Susceptible animals can be reinfected numerous times, so different stages of heartworm infections may be present in the same animal.
🔴Common signs of heartworm infection include coughing, exercise intolerance, failure to grow, labored breathing, a blue or purplish discoloration of the skin and gums, spitting up blood, fainting, nose bleeding, and the accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity.

🔴While rabies is a 100% preventable disease, nearly 60,000 people die from the disease around the world each year.
🔴World Rabies Day is the biggest event on the global rabies calendar, coordinated by our long time partner, the Global Alliance for Rabies Control (GARC) and commemorated every year on September 28 – the anniversary of the death of Louis Pasteur – since 2007.
🔴World Rabies Day aims to raise awareness and advocate for rabies elimination globally. It is an event designed to be inclusive, uniting people, organisations, and stakeholders across all sectors against rabies.

🔴Transposable elements (TEs), also known as "jumping genes," are DNA sequences that move from one location on the genome to another.
🔴These elements were first identified more than 50 years ago by geneticist Barbara McClintock of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York.
🔴Biologists were initially skeptical of McClintock's discovery. Over the next several decades, however, it became apparent that not only do TEs "jump," but they are also found in almost all organisms (both prokaryotes and eukaryotes) and typically in large numbers. 🔴TEs make up approximately 50% of the human genome and up to 90% of the maize genome (SanMiguel, 1996).

🔴THE RABBIT EFFECT🔴
▪️Loneliness is both dependent on the number of friends you have and the quality of your connections to the people around you — and lacking either can severely impact a person’s health.

▪️Chronic loneliness is as dangerous as smoking 15 ci******es a day, heavy alcohol use or obesity, as reported by a 2010 study in PLOS Medicine.

▪️It increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes and premature death. Social isolation can kill you. But, how?

🔴In 1978, a rabbit revealed the answer.
That year, researchers ran a simple experiment with rabbits to show the link between high cholesterol and heart health. The results surprised everyone.

▪️While the genetically similar rabbits all ate the same high-fat diet, one group appeared protected from a heart attack or stroke.

▪️Dr. Robert Nerem, the lead scientist on the study, recalled wondering, What explained the difference?

▪️It remained a mystery until the team noticed that one of the lab researchers wasn’t just feeding the rabbits. She was petting and talking to them. Dr. Nerem explained, “She couldn’t help it. It’s just how she was.”

▪️They repeated the experiment and got the same shocking results. The difference was kindness and company.

▪️Four decades later, ample scientific studies show that kindness and connection are critical to health and cellular aging.

▪️Love and TLC alter gene expression through microscopic epigenetic changes. Telomeres — the DNA “caps” that help determine how long we live — extend or shorten in response to stress and our connections to others, as first reported in the 2004 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

▪️Positive relationships lower stress, cortisol, inflammation, pain and blood pressure.They boost immune functioning, mood and recovery after injury. Supportive relationships can also help people with serious disease and cancer live longer.

▪️So how do we combat loneliness, bond more with others and improve our health?

▪️“The Rabbit Effect” shows that connection is around us every day: our homes, workplaces, schools, neighborhoods and broader social community — if we just take the time to connect.

🔴SACROCAUDAL LUXATIONS (Tail-pull injuries)
▪️Tail pull injury is caused by the traction on the tail following a traumatic event. ▪️This is a common neurological condition in cats and in most of the cases, is the consequence of a road traffic accident.
▪️These present as a limp, sometimes painful, tail. Assessing nerve function is important during physical examination of patients presented with this condition; testing should be performed for distal and proximal tail sensation, a**l tone, and perineal reflex.
▪️ Damage to the caudal nerves can cause decreased sensory and motor function to the tail, and damage to the pelvic and pudendal nerves affects urine and f***l continence.

🔴We are starting a series on TOPICAL WOUND MEDICATIONS.
🔴Topical Antimicrobials and Antibiotics:
▪️Antimicrobial agents and antibiotics eliminate or reduce the number of microorganisms that destroy tissue in a wound. Topical rather than systemic antibiotics are preferred for
open wounds. Mildly or moderately contaminated wounds do not benefit from combined topical and systemic antibi-
otic therapy; however, combined therapy is advantageous in heavily contaminated wounds. Antibiotics applied within 1
to 3 hours of contamination often prevent infection. Benefits of topical drugs should outweigh their cytotoxic effects.
Antibiotics used effectively as topical ointments or added to lavage solutions are penicillin, ampicillin, carbenicillin, tet-
racycline, kanamycin, neomycin, bacitracin, polymyxin, and cephalosporins. Once infection is established, topical and
systemic antibiotics have no beneficial effect in preventing suppuration of wounds undergoing closure. Wound coagu-
lum prevents topical antibiotics from reaching effective levels in tissues deep in the wound and also prevents systemic
antibiotics from reaching superficial bacteria. These wounds must be débrided to allow antimicrobial access to bacteria.
Advantages of topical antibiotics over antiseptics in wound management include selective bacterial toxicity, efficacy in the presence of organic material, and combined efficacy with systemic antibiotics.

Disadvantages include
expense, narrower antimicrobial spectrum, potential for bacterial resistance, creation of “super infections,” systemic or local toxicity, hypersensitivity, and increased nosocomial infections. Antibiotic solutions are preferable to ointments and powders. Ointments liberate antibiotics slowly and may be occlusive, promoting growth of anaerobic bacteria. Powders act as foreign bodies and should not be used.

🔴Triple Antibiotic Ointment.
Triple antibiotic ointment (bacitracin, neomycin,polymyxin) is effective against a broad spectrum of pathogenic bacteria commonly infecting superficial skin wounds. However, its efficacy against pseudomonads is poor. Zinc bacitracin is responsible for enhancing reepithelialization of wounds but can re**rd wound contraction. Because these drugs are poorly absorbed, systemic toxicosis (nephrotoxicity, ototoxicity, neurotoxicity) is rare. The ointment is more effective for preventing infections than for treating them.

🔴Silver Sulfadiazine.
Silver sulfadiazine in a 1% water-miscible cream is effective against most Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and most fungi. It also serves as anantimicrobial barrier, can pe*****te necrotic tissue, and enhances wound epithelialization. It is the drug of choice to treat burn wounds. In vitro
toxicity to human keratinocytes and fibroblasts and inhibition of polymorphonuclear cells and lymphocytes has been shown. These wound-re**rdant effects of silver sulfadiazine
are reversed when it is combined with aloe vera. Ointments remain effective for up to 3 days, whereas silver impregmated dressings may be left in place for 7 days. Only a small amount of silver is released slowly from its molecular lattice over a sustained period, reducing cytotoxic effects of ionic silver and making it nonstaining, nonirritating, and nonsensitizing while maintaining its antimicrobial effects. These products are also hydrophilic, helping to maintain a moist wound environment and absorbing exudates.

▪️Every year on 31st May, World No To***co day is organized by World Health Organization to promote the awareness about the risk related to the consumption of to***co and its product and its ill affect on the family, society and environment.

To***co and its consumption is one of the leading causes of many types of cancer, like lungs, larynx mouth, esophagus, throat, bladder, kidney, liver, stomach, pancreas, colon and cervix, as well as acute myeloid leukaemia. It is estimated that over 1 crore people are killed every year due to the consumption of to***co. To***co not only affects the health but also impacts the environment badly in many ways.

This year, 2023, the World No To***co Day theme is “We need food, not to***co”, intends to get to***co producers to adopt sustainable and nutritious crops by providing awareness concerning marketing options and production alternatives. In addition, the theme focuses on exposing the efforts of the to***co industry’s sabotage initiatives to replace to***co with sustainable crops, leading to the global food crisis.

On this day, government authorities and policy-makers frame and implement suitable policies, strategies and enable market conditions for to***co farmers by switching them to growing food crops to curb the food crisis. In addition, green activists and public social welfare associations join hands to promote the efforts to stop growing to***co crops.
