New stem cell treatment for dogs

Posted: Published on September 11th, 2012

GREEN BAY - Statistics show Americans spend almost $51 billion on their pets every year. A new stem cell treatment for dogs is providing relief for pets and their owners, and now it's being done here in the Green Bay area. It's designed to treat problems like hip dysplasia and arthritis. The procedure can cost thousands of dollars, but pet owners believe it is money well-spent. "Come on buddy," said Keith Moskowiak, De Niro's owner. Ten-year-old German Shepherd De Niro is at the veterinarian's office for a routine check up. Owner Keith Moskowiak says De Niro couldn't have done it just two months ago. "He wasn't able to get around, you could tell he was in a lot of pain," said Moskowiak. Five-year-old Shadow has hip dysplasia. "She was slowing herself down, she truly was. She was reserving herself. She'd run a little bit, then she'd sit," said Luther Kortbein, Shadow's owner. See the rest here: New stem cell treatment for dogs … Continue reading →

Owner Keith Noskowiak couldn't be happier. "That's awesome seeing him be able to do that again." DeNiro suffered from severe arthritis in his back. A German shepherd named Shadow had hip dysplasia. She could barely walk, let alone jump as she can today, catching balls in flight. "She would whimper all night long because she was starting to hurt. It was starting to get more severe," owner Luther Kortbein says. These two German shepherds were the first dogs to receive stem cell therapy in Wisconsin. Doctor Maura Mansfield from the Packerland Veterinary Center performed the surgeries in June. The rest is here: Stem Cell Therapy Treats Pets … Continue reading →

Posted: Published on September 11th, 2012

Tuesday, September 11, 2012 PEDDLING of illegal drugs in Davao City is becoming a family affair, the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) regional chief said in explaining why there is an increase in illegal drug activities. Meaning not only the father ang involved sa drug rate kasama na rin ang kanila mga asawa o anak (Its a family affair business in which the wife and the children are also involved, not only the father), said Emerson Rosales, PDEA regional director. Check our new look and tell us what you think. He said the authorities have monitored this based on the previous arrests of drug violators. He said it is never enough to just constrict the supply as the city has done to some extent, but there has to be effective actions to reduce the demand. Ang supply reduction sa pag aresto ng mga drug offenders ay isa lamang solution sa drug problem but the demand transaction problem ay kasamang solution din sa pag-solve dito sa drugs (The supply reduction is just one of the solutions but the demand transaction problem is also a way to solve drugs issue), he said.

A father's plea: End the war on drugs

Posted: Published on September 11th, 2012

Javier Sicilia leads a 50-cross procession at Loyola Marymount University, each cross representing 1,000 cartel murder victims. STORY HIGHLIGHTS Editor's note: Javier Sicilia is one of Mexico's most highly regarded poets and the leader of the Movement for Peace with Justice and Dignity. His son, Juan Francisco, was murdered last year near his hometown of Cuernavaca. The Movement's Caravan for Peace crossed the border at San Diego on August 12 and will arrive in Washington on September 10. Follow on Twitter @caravanaUSA (CNN) -- Why was my son murdered? He was 24, and he had never tried drugs. He didn't even smoke. He had paid half his university costs with a sports scholarship and was working as administrative staff at a cardiac clinic in Morelos, Mexico. Why then was my son suffocated by hit men from the Gulf Cartel? Why did his six friends, just like him, die at his side? The answer, you may tell me, is obvious. "Because drug traffickers are bad, and must be stopped." The answer, however, is not that simple. If it were I would not be leading a caravan for peace across the United States. Let's pose the question differently. If Mexico's President Felipe … Continue reading →

Drugs that lower blood pressure may boost lip cancer risk

Posted: Published on September 11th, 2012

ByMyHealthNewsDaily Staff Some drugs that treat high blood pressure may increase the risk of lip cancer, a new study suggests. In the study, people who took thehigh blood pressuredrug hydrochlorothiazide for five years or more were four times more likely to develop lip cancer, compared with those who did not take the drug. The study included only Caucasian people. Hydrochlorothiazide is a photosensitizing drug, meaning it can increase a person's sensitivity to sunlight. People who take photosensitizing drugs may burn more easily, or develop rashes upon sunlight exposure. Previous studies have linked hydrochlorothiazide and an increased risk of certainskin cancers. Other photosensitizing drugs examined in the study, including one called nifedipine, increased the risk of lip cancer more than twofold in whites. The findings held even after the researchers took into account study participants' smoking, a factor that increases the risk of lip cancer. Lip cancer is rare (there are about 0.7 cases per 100,000 people per year in the United States), and the benefits of high blood pressure drugs generally outweigh the increased risk of this particular cancer, the researchers said. "However, physicians prescribing photosensitizing drugs should ascertain whether patients are at high risk of lip cancer because of … Continue reading →
