Deadly fish virus still present in Wisconsin lake
In May 2007, hundreds of freshwater drum — also known as sheepshead — turned up dead in Lake Winnebago and nearby Little Lake Butte des Morts, both inland lakes near Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The fish were splotched with red and their eyes were swollen and bulging. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) launched a quick response and, working with the Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (WVDL), quickly learned that a deadly virus was responsible: viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus, or VHSv.

This Is The Number One Health Problem Soldiers Face
What's the most wide-spread health issue plaguing members of the military? While post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injuries and depression are critical issues that drum up worthy media attention, the answer is much more ordinary: sleep problems.

Van Arman, medical director at Fort Drum's Traumatic Brain Injury Clinic, told attendees at a defense centers health conference on Wednesday.

Banging the drum over pay
“Most of us are women, and lots of us are single parents, so it was a massive decision to go on strike”. It’s 8 o’clock on a Monday morning in Glasgow and Mary Docherty (pictured above) is banging a drum outside the city council chambers with around 30 of her colleagues. We’re at a rally of homelessness case workers employed by Glasgow City Council who are in their twelfth week of striking. They’re a small group outside the imposing building their employers occupy in George Square, but they’re making a lot of noise. The workers assess the housing needs of the city’s most vulnerable, supporting them to acces...

The Brain Game: A Neuroscientist on Life Coaching
Ever notice that no matter how MANY great, appreciative emails/texts/calls you receive, you only really care about the one lousy one you got? Hell, you talk about it for days, forward it to friends, and though you don't bring it to Michael's Art Supply to frame it, you might as well. Why is that? We like to prove our theories. The reason is more peculiar than you think. The reason we love to hate an email, a crappy call, a snide remark or interpreted eye roll is not just because it hurts, but because - drum roll - we agree with it. It evidences our own beliefs and theories. Wendy Suzuki, professor of Neural Science and Psy...

Paul Newman, Kay Warren and Gary Mendell: Making Sense of Loss
While at my hairdresser today an article in Vogue Magazine, July 2015 issue caught my eye. There was a piece about discontent in the Newman family since the death of actor Paul Newman (2008). It seems that Newman gave the proceeds of his food company to charity and since his death one of the things that has not been funded is the center his friends and family established after the overdose of his only son Scott. Of course the name caught my eye -- Scott is also the name of my deceased son. I wondered how I would have felt if he had overdosed or shot himself rather than been killed in an automobile crash. This thought broug...

Customization Containment Project for Dr. Reddy's from Start to Finish
Custom Powder and Integrated Containment Systems, we came together as a team and we teamed on the project. We had a customer, which was Dr. Reddys. Obviously we've done a lot of projects with them over the years, but they approached us needing a QC Isolator for doing the testing of their powder material. They needed a transfer for taking drums of product and transferring that drum of products into IBCs so that the bins could be blended and mixed with the active products they were running and then we also, as a rule, we put away a dispense isolator and a co-milling operation. When it was all said and done, we went from...

Ten Celebrities Who Suffer(ed) From Tinnitus
"I wonder how you're feeling There's ringing in my ears And no one to relate to 'cept the sea..." -- Peter Frampton There are few afflictions as constant and annoying as tinnitus, which Wikipedia defines as: "The hearing of sound when no external sound is present.
