Image

There is no safe amount of radiation for the eyes. Cataract development after radiation injury may be substantial. There is a documented higher rate of lens damage in doctors and support staff working with radiation. Radiation can also damage the iris, sclera, conjunctiva, and retinal blood vessels and cause other short-term or long-term issues.

Four Reasons Your Dog Won't Stop Barking

Image
Your dog's barking is driving you insane. Maybe she barks at every person who passes your yard, other dogs, squirrels, and what seems to be the wind. So why do some dogs bark so much? Here are four common reasons why your dog seems to lack an off-switch. 1. Excess Energy No matter how loved your dog is, she will be frustrated and excitable if she does not receive proper exercise or mental stimulation. A mere walk often isn't sufficient for the average dog. At some point, all dogs need to get a regular chance to run off-leash. Try to find a dog park or empty field where you can safely let your dog run free for at least thirty minutes. If your dog enjoys playing fetch, bring a ball and be sure to tire her out! 2. Boredom Like us, dogs need mental stimulation too. Get your dog a toy that you can hide treats inside to keep her busy while you are at work or away from the house. 3. Lack of training Your dog may simply be in the habit of barking at everything that moves because she do...

What You Need to Know about Tdap and Pregnancy

  Tdap is short for tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough). It is a vaccine that protects you against those three types of diseases. Most people get a similar version of this vaccine during childhood, followed by booster shots every ten years after they become adults. If you are pregnant and see a prenatal care provider, he or she will probably recommend the Tdap shot by the end of the second trimester, even if your booster shots are up to date. The reason for pregnant women to get Tdap shots is obvious. It is to help protect the soon-to-be-born baby. Tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping cough can be serious diseases. Whooping cough is especially dangerous for babies and may cause death [1] . Moreover, babies cannot get their own vaccines until they are two months old, making them vulnerable. During the last trimester, antibodies made by the mother, and therefore immunity, can pass through the placenta to the baby [2] . The best time for pregnant women to get the Tdap sho...

  School is out, the weather is nice - it's time to plan some fun activities! Have a picnic A picnic is an iconic summer activity. Sandwiches and lemonade might be traditional, but don't be afraid to think outside of the box. Pack any salad in jars. When you're ready to eat, pour the dressing over the top, add any crunchy toppings you'd like, put the lid back on the jar and shake it up! Make sure you have some shade to sit under, whether it be shade trees, a ramada, or a pop-up tent. Go to the Park This can be combined with having a picnic.
