...Dogs have been companions of humans for thousands of years. In fact, around 44% of all homes in America today house at least one dog (“Pet Statistics”). Dogs can be a source of joy in one’s seemingly mundane life. While it is commonly known that dogs can easily make others happy, it is often looked over that they can have positive effects on our health. Caring for a dog can improve one’s physical being, boost mental health, and have a positive and lasting impact on children. One effect of owning a dog is an increase in physical activity. In a recent study, it was observed that dog owners walked approximately 20 minutes more per day than people who did not own a dog (Dall). Dogs need physical activity to thrive, as obesity and diabetes are...

It is a parasitic worm that lives as an adult in the right side of the animal’s heart, and large blood vessels leading to the lungs. The mosquitoes are the intermediate host for heartworms. The female adult worms in the heart and vessels microfilariae in the blood, which are immature worms that can live up to three years. The mosquitos feeds on animals and ingest the microfilaria which matures in the mosquito for about two weeks to become an infected larva. When the mosquito feeds on another animal the microfilariae is passed to that animal. There the microfilariae the larva develops over three to six months, and migrate to the right side of the heart. About six months the larva develops into an adult worm. The adult worm can live up to seven years, and produce microfilaria which completes the life cycle. Heart worms a very serious health issue. Which can lead to right ventricular dilation, hypertrophy, heart failure, and death. Clinical signs can occur within six months or latter from the time on infected. The physical signs can be very mild to severe depending on the number of adult worms present. Which can range from coughing, difficulty breathing, and abnormal heart sounds to death. There are several tests that...

...The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris)[2][3] is a subspecies of the gray wolf (Canis lupus), a member of the Canidae family of the mammalian order Carnivora. The term "domestic dog" is generally used for both domesticated and feral varieties. The dog was the first domesticated animal[4] and has been the most widely kept working, hunting, and pet animal in human history. The word "dog" can also refer to the male of a canine species,[5] as opposed to the word "bitch" which refers to the female of the species. MtDNA evidence shows an evolutionary split between the modern dog's lineage and the modern wolf's lineage around 100,000 years ago but, as of 2013, the oldest fossil specimens genetically linked to the modern dog's lineage date to approximately 33,000–36,000 years ago.[4][6] Dogs' value to early human hunter-gatherers led to them quickly becoming ubiquitous across world cultures. Dogs perform many roles for people, such as hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and military, companionship, and, more recently, aiding handicapped individuals. This impact on human society has given them the nickname "man's best friend" in the Western world. In some cultures, however, dogs are also a source of meat.[7][8] In 2001, there were estimated to be 400 million dogs in the world.[9] Most breeds of dogs are at most a few hundred years old, having been artificially selected for particular morphologies and behaviors by people for specific functional roles.

In this case study mandibular tooth supported BPS (bio-functional prosthetic system) overdenture and maxillary flexible partial denture was fabricated for the patient. This gives the patient a denture that has more support and retentive principles incorporated, resulting in improved retention. Decrease in rate of resorption of bone hence preservation of alveolar ridge. Overdenture patient possessed preserved sensory function, i.e., discriminating between occlusal forces closer to natural teeth. These...

...risen exponentially. Unfortunately, tooth loss, whether it is through dental extractions or other means, has long term clinical sequelae associated with it. Osteonecrosis of the jaw, bacteremia, orbital cellulitis, and other psychological and physiological clinical sequelae that impact the well-being of the patient will be discussed. Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is defined as the presence of exposed bone in the mouth that fails to heal after appropriate intervention over a period of 6 to 8 weeks (Reid), and results in chronic osteomyelitis with areas of bone necrosis. Most commonly affecting the mandible (Bagan), patients with ONJ experience symptoms that range from painless exposed bone to severe jaw pain (Sambrook). The majority of cases of ONJ have been found to be initiated and associated with tooth extraction procedures as a result of the introduction of oral flora to the exposed jaw bone that prevents healing and becomes infected (Ruggiero). In addition to tooth extractions being a precipitating event to ONJ, it has been found that ONJ occurs in patients who have previously undergone chemotherapy treatment for cancer and take bisphosphonate medications to counteract the effects of osteoporosis. Bisphosphonates are used for cancer treatment and osteoporosis because of its anti-angiogenic properties and ability to inhibit osteoclast action, respectively. This in turn manages the hypercalcemia that is seen in bone...

...How did Pit bulls become the object of fear? Pit bulls are very playful, loyal and gentle animals. But they have a bad representation of be aggressive all the time. Others have containment issues were they can be great with you, but different when they are in a kennel or on a chain it makes them aggressive. Pit bulls are the object of fear because of the way they are shown in the media as well as the way that they are treated. I had the pleasure of having two pit bulls before we moved to North Dakota. When I was younger we purchased a pit-bull puppy that we raised. Roxie was her name and she later gave birth to 10 puppies that we either sold or gave to friends, except for one in which we kept. While growing up and playing with Roxie we would run around the yard. She loved to play in the snow and piles of leaves. She was a very sweet dog. She would come and lay on the floor by your feet and just lay there until you moved. My sisters, brother and myself treated her more like a child then a dog. When we were eating something, we gave her some even though our parents told us not to. She loved peanut butter. She was a very good guard dog, because she would let you know when someone would be in the yard or at the door. She would bark to let you know that someone was there, but she never attacked the person. My sister’s pit bull mini is really sweet as well she loves to come and jump on my bed when I am laying their watching television and she will just lay there...

...What is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder? Who is prone to PTSD? And how can one deal with this very unpleasant felling? These are the topics I will be educating you the reader on. I will be discussing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and the affects it has on service members, and how to deal with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder And proven methods on how to cope. Post traumatic Stress Disorder is an anxiety disorder that occurs after a traumatic event. Such as; a close encounter with death a violent encounter in which the person was the victim or a women involved in a sexual assault. Mostly I will be hitting on P.T.S.D. With in our armed services. 1.7 million Veterans have served in Iraq and Afghanistan, and at least a third of them suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, or P.T.S.D., according to the National Center for P.T.S.D. Given that combat vets sent to the front lines of Afghanistan and Iraq see fallen comrades, experience combat, and or survive horrific events, the likelihood of a vet being diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder is high. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, someone with P.T.S.D. Is at least twice as likely to commit suicide or to sir-come to alcohol abuse. Service members are also likely to develop some type of mood disorder. Veterans are also at a high risk for domestic violence. Their is defiantly a stigma is the services associated with post-traumatic stress disorder. Most vets are scared to come forward with their issues...

...York: Penguin Group Inc. The author details what became of the fifty-one pit bulls that were rescued from Michael Vick’s house at 1915 Moonlight Road due to dog fighting. This case changed how dogs seized in dogfighting rings were evaluated. Before this case the dogs were never given the chance for rehabilitation, they was just euthanized. Twenty-two of the most aggressive dogs was sent to The Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Only six remain in the sanctuary of the twenty-two. They have since been adopted. Of the fifty-one dogs a few could not be saved and were euthanized. All the rest of the dogs were either adopted, rescue dogs, therapy dogs, or remain at a sanctuary. This book is a secondary source as the writer retells the events that happened. I think this source is reliable because it explains the aspects of the case and what happened to the dogs. I think that it will be helpful to my final project because it details the steps needed to prove that fighting dogs can be saved, and are not vicious by nature. Holland, J. (2013). In defense of the pit bull. Retrieved from http://www.salon.com/2013/02/05/in_defense_of_the_pitbull_partner/ The article discusses how the media has turned pit bulls into monsters instead of the loving dogs they are known to be.

The breed specific legislation focus more on the breed rather than the issue which is serious dog bites. There is...

...performance Warren A. Brill, DMD, MS(HYG) Dr. Brill is in private practice and a clinical associate professor of pediatric dentistry, School of Dentistry, University of Maryland, Baltimore, Md. Correspond with Dr. Brill at wbrill@erols.com Abstract The chairside-fabricated distal shoe appliance, with a stainless steel crown as the retainer, is an efficacious and cost-effective appliance for guiding the unerupted permanent first molar into position after premature loss or extraction of the second primary molar. The fabrication technique is illustrated in this case report and data is presented on the success rate of the appliance. (Pediatr Dent. 2002;24:561-565) KEYWORDS: DISTAL SHOE, SPACE MAINTAINER, SPACE MANAGEMENT Received February 26, 2002 he distal shoe space maintainer, as introduced by Gerber1 and extended by Croll,2,3 is a valuable part of the pediatric dentist’s armamentarium, because in those cases where the second primary molar is lost prematurely, it helps guide the first permanent molar into place. In 1973, Hicks outlined in detail the indications and contraindications for the distal shoe appliance, as well as the diagnostic and systemic considerations.4 The indications and contraindications as outlined by Hicks are listed in Table 1. Hicks preferred fabrication of a cast gold appliance, although appliances with attachments soldered to stainless steel crowns or bands were clinically acceptable.4 Twenty years later, Gegenhiemer and Donly described...

...Running Head: CHRONIC CONSTIPATION TREATMENT Prucalopride for the treatment of chronic constipation in women in whom laxatives fail to provide adequate relief [Name of the Writer] [Name of the Institution] Prucalopride for the treatment of chronic constipation in women in whom laxatives fail to provide adequate relief Structured Abstract The literature analysis was carried out to determine the degree to explore former researches that have been carried out in the area of the usage of Prucalopride. In this regard, the usage and utility of Prucalopride was explored with reference to women who do not respond to the usage of laxatives in chronic constipation cases. An exploration of a vast volume of research established that the usage of Prucalopride has been explored extensively but there is a lack of literature that pertains to the usage of Prucalopride with regard to women in particular. Through a sequential elaboration of chronic constipation, chronic constipation in women, and an exploration of the trends that have come forth in the experimentation that has been carried out to ascertain the utility of Prucalopride for women where laxatives have not yielded results; it was revealed that there is a lack of extended experimentation in the area. Background Constipation Constipation is generally observed in western societies and it is not an uncommon recording in clinical practices. Due to the high frequency of the occurrence of constipation, it is generally...

...When it comes to understanding animals and the diseases they have, contract, and carry there is no limits. From dogs and cats to livestock and exotics it is necessary to learn and understand diseases from metabolic to degenerative or idiopathic, Neoplastic diseases and Toxic poisonings, Congenital and Genetic diseases to Immune related diseases, and Infectious and Contagious diseases to Parasitic Infections. There is a world that one can get lost in when it comes to learning about theses things. Some diseases have been around for years while others are still being studied with new ones occurring today in the modern world. Along with these diseases it is important to study and understand what causes them, what signs to look for, what species to look for them in, how to treat them, and how to prevent them from happening, IF you can even prevent them. Some diseases and conditions have vaccines to help with prevention and some do not, while some diseases are zoonotic meaning that they can be transmitted from animal to human. While there are hundreds upon hundreds of diseases to be looked at, the ten researched below are the ones once prevalent among the veterinary technicians job in the clinic; Hip Dysplasia and Ethylene Glycol poisoning in dogs, Hyperthyroidism and Rabies in cats, Strangles and Equine Recurrent Uveitits in Horses, Cryptosporidium and Fasciola Hepatica in Ruminants and Swine, Idiopathic Epilepsy in Aviaries, and Lymphoma in Ferrets.
