Giving your cat a pill

by LifelearnAdmin @ Talbot Animal Clinic in St. Thomas, ON

The easiest way to give your cat a pill is to hide the pill in food. This usually works best if the pill is hidden in a small amount of tuna or cream cheese. To ensure that the pill is actually taken, it is best to give a small amount of food that the cat is certain to eat rather than a large portion that the cat may not complete. Some cats may spit out the pill, so it is important to monitor this activity. If your cat persists in spitting out the pills or if dietary restrictions prevent you from hiding the pills in an appealing treat, you will need to administer the pill directly into the cat’s mouth.

Giving liquid medication to your cat

by LifelearnAdmin @ Talbot Animal Clinic in St. Thomas, ON

The easiest way to give your cat liquid medication is to mix it in with some canned food. To ensure that the medication is actually taken, it is best to give a small amount of food that the cat is certain to eat rather than a large portion that the cat may not complete. Some cats may be unwilling to eat the food or may have dietary restrictions that prevent you from using this technique. If this is the case, you will need to administer the medication directly into the cat’s mouth.

So Long, Farewell

by john4210 @ Engineering in Rome

January 24th Rise and shine! Today was an early morning and obviously a day dedicated to traveling. We wanted to be at the airport at a decent time because we had an international flight and such. Our flight was expected to be almost 11 hours. Yes 11 hours, and unlike the accomodations we had on our flight to Rome, we did not have individual tv screens. Luckily there were 4 movies that were played, and most of us watched all of them. Not alot of sleeping was done because let’s face it, sleeping on a plane proves to be difficult. 11 hours later we were arriving in Atlanta. We not only survived the flight, but survived customs! It was nice to be back in the States. Only a 2 hour plane ride separating us from our actual home state. We were lucky to not have anything dramatic happen on our travels and made it home safe. A few closing remarks. Now being back, we’ve all been bombarded with the question, “So how was your J-Term?” Obviously this is not a question that can be easily answered.

First day of Florence

by agmcgehee @ Engineering in Rome

January 20 Today we took a short foot tour of Florence. To start, we went to the Accademia.  This museum holds many famous works of art including Michelangelo’s David and The Rape of the Sabine Women.  After browsing through the museum for a bit we continued on to see the Cathedral of St Mary of the Flowers, also known as the Florence Cathdreal. The dome of this cathedral is the third largest in the world and stands out in the landscape of Florence.  The dome of St Peter’s basilica was even modeled after this dome.  On our way to the final stop on our tour we passed by the Piazza della Repubblica and Orsammichele, and ended at the Piazza della Signoria. The town hall stands here which is called the Palazzo Vecchio. Just as the title implies, the hall looks like a castle and in front of it stands a replica of the statue of David. We also saw the Galleria degli Uffizi from the piazza. The galleria contains an exhibition of replicas of many famous statues including a replica of the Rape of the Sabine Women from the Accademia. One thing we didn’t expect on the tour was the temperature. […]

Maternal perspectives on the use of probiotics in infants: a cross-sectional survey

Maternal perspectives on the use of probiotics in infants: a cross-sectional survey


BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine

Probiotic products that may modify the intestinal microbiota are becoming increasingly available and known to consumers due to their potential to prevent or treat many pediatric health conditions. As scientific knowledge of the health benefits of probiotics increases, it is important to identify factors that may prevent their successful integration into patient care as well as to ensure effective translation of research findings. The aim of this study was to describe maternal perspectives on probiotics and their use in infants. Mothers with a child aged two years or younger enrolled in the Alberta Pregnancy Outcomes and Nutrition (APrON) study were invited by email to complete a 29 item self-administered web-based questionnaire. A total of 413 mothers of the 1327 contacted completed the questionnaire. The majority (99.3%) of respondents had heard of probiotics and were aware that they contained live bacteria (87.0%); 89.3% had used a product containing probiotics themselves but only 50.8% had given one to their infant. Most mothers indicated they believed that probiotics were beneficial (73.1%) and none thought they were harmful. Over a third of mothers did not feel informed enough to make a decision on whether probiotics were safe to use in infants (36.6%). The study demonstrates that awareness and understanding of probiotics is high among mothers in Alberta, Canada. However, there is still uncertainty regarding the benefit of probiotics as well as safety in infants which could be important factors determining therapeutic use in the future. Further studies that demonstrate beneficial effects and safety of probiotics in healthy infants as well as targeted knowledge translation should help to address these potential concerns.

On to Florence

January 18th Happy Birthday to Mike St Dennis!! Another birthday to celebrate in Italy. The day started out with a bang…or rather a crash.  Our hotel in Naples had beds that pulled out from the walls so we could fit 3 into each room, and some rooms even had pullout bunk beds.  Around 6am one of these bunk beds gave in and fell off the wall.  Two of our travelers were on the two beds and another was sleeping on the other side of the room.  No one was hurt but it made for a very entertaining breakfast story (and a full refund for that room).  After that jump start we headed to the engineering department of the Federico II University in Naples for some lectures.  The first lecture was about the tower of Pisa.  The lecture focused on how to make the tower more stable without compromising its historical and artistic integrity.  The tower is leaning about 5 degrees from vertical and the less lean the better.  The second lecture was on earthquake protection of historical buildings.  Italy lies on a fault line so it does experience occasional earthquakes.  With all of Italy’s historic landmarks, this is something they constantly think about.  We […]

Free Day

by john4210 @ Engineering in Rome

January 16th One full day to do whatever we wanted. Oh the possibilities! A majority of us (13) decided we wanted to be extra adventurous and take an excursion to Venice. We were up at about 6 am. Headed to the metro to get to Termini which is where we caught the bullet train. It took less than 4 hours with multiple stops to get to our destination. We were all expecting sunny skies because that’s what it was like on the majority of the train ride. We arrived and were surprised… foggy and cold. And when I say cold I mean hat and mittens weather. You could imagine none of us were prepared for this. Anyways we all made the best of it and walked around all day and ate as we went. One nice thing about Venice: no cars that could potentially run you over because Venice is all canals. Before we knew it the day was over and we were headed back to Roma. Some of the other students that didn’t come with us to Venice went to a soccer game and just hung out around the hotel catching up on miscellaneous things.

Why Probiotics are Beneficial for Birds

Why Probiotics are Beneficial for Birds


Thomas Labs

People often think of bacteria as bad, but bacteria aren’t always dangerous. In fact, there are naturally occurring microorganisms found in the intestinal tracts of animals and people, and these microorganisms are necessary for normal digestion. They also help with the absorption of essential nutrients, as well as protect against bad bacteria. Bacterial Imbalance When humans and animals are living a stress-free and healthy life, these beneficial bacteria are able to function normally and maintain a healthy intestinal tract. However, certain conditions can easily cause bacterial changes and an imbalance of beneficial microorganisms, which can lead to digestive problems. A bacterial imbalance can result from stress, antibiotic therapy, or a change in diet. An imbalance can result in diarrhea, difficulty in digesting food, vulnerability to disease, and decreased appetite. Most animals like dogs, cats, and birds are subject to stress, plus it can be hard to predict when stress or illness will take place, which means that the disruption of intestinal bacteria can become common. How Probiotics Can Help A probiotic contains the beneficial bacteria that are normally found in the intestine. The probiotic helps restore the beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract, which means that the bacteria are able to reestablish and maintain a healthy gut. When Probiotics Can Help Different times of stress in a bird’s life include breeding, molting, fledging, moving, environmental changes, illness, injury, and more. Giving your bird a probiotic during these times can help prevent digestive issues and disease. It’s also beneficial for birds to receive probiotics during and after antibiotic treatment because antibiotics kill both the good and bad bacteria, which can lead to an overgrowth of bad bacteria. The use of daily probiotic supplements is becoming popular in the commercial poultry industry, especially after antibiotic treatment. These supplements are being used to promote digestive health in chickens, turkeys, and more. Probiotics can also be given to aviary birds and caged birds! It’s important to consider your bird’s diet and health before offering a probiotic. It’s always a good idea to ask your avian veterinarian for recommendations on supplements. Acidophilus Forte When choosing a probiotic for your bird, it’s important to choose one that is formulated for birds. Acidophilus Forte from Thomas Labs® is a highly concentrated supplement that is targeted for use in birds. It contains Lactobacillus acidophilus bacteria which help promote digestive health, support nutrient absorption, and optimize bacteria levels in the gut. If you are looking to help support and balance probiotic levels in your bird, give Acidophilus Forte a try!

Carrara/Pisa

by john4210 @ Engineering in Rome

January 21st Carrara is where it is at. That is if you want marble. Today we got the chance to go into the marble quarries that have been around for over 2,000 years. Woah! These are also the same quarries where Michelangelo hand picked his marble for various statues and monuments. The marble in these quarries are of the best quality, pure white, and minimal veins. It was an interesting adventure to take our huge tour bus up into the quarries. Once we got up there we had a chance to see how the marble was actually taken away using a wire rope diamond saw. We also had the opportunity to meet the owner of the specific area and he gave each one of us the diamond beads as good luck charms. Don’t get too excited, I’m pretty sure the diamond was synthetic and not real. We then had a chance to go down into the studio and look at all sorts of marble carvings. We had a bag lunch which consisted of pop and lard. Yes, lard. It was actually pretty good, but probably not too good for you! Last destination today: Pisa. Home to the leaning tower of […]

Goodbye Roma

by john4210 @ Engineering in Rome

January 17th Our last day in Rome… Where did the time go? We had the morning to pack and hang out before heading to Naples. A few of us went to our favorite pizzeria to say goodbye to the owner Alberto and have one last decent meal before traveling. Before we could actually leave we had one last thing to do. We met a professor at the Roman Forum to be geeky. The topic: technology used on old monuments to monitor the integrity of the structure. This professor that we talked to was the head of the project that set up all the equipment on this basilica in the forum.  What was neat was we had been to this exact spot a few days ago and none of us noticed the technology… they did a good job of designing it! The purpose is to monitor the natural shifting of the buildings over long periods of time. We took about a 3 hour bus ride south to Naples to Hotel Rex. Had a chance to have a group dinner at a pretty swanky restaurant  where we had… PIZZA!! One thing we’ve all learned is that the Italians sure like their pizzas. […]

Giving liquid medication to your cat

by LifelearnAdmin @ Elgin Animal Hospital in St. Thomas, ON

The easiest way to give your cat liquid medication is to mix it in with some canned food. To ensure that the medication is actually taken, it is best to give a small amount of food that the cat is certain to eat rather than a large portion that the cat may not complete. Some cats may be unwilling to eat the food or may have dietary restrictions that prevent you from using this technique. If this is the case, you will need to administer the medication directly into the cat’s mouth.

Horse Races and Wine Tastings

by agmcgehee @ Engineering in Rome

January 22 Today was a long day!  We started in Siena.  We took the hour bus ride from Florence then met our tour guide for a foot tour of Siena.  We started at the Basilica of St Dominic.  This is where the skull of Siena’s patron saint, Saint Catherine,  is kept.  When St Catherine died, her body was split up and sent to many different locations.  Siena got the skull.  We then walked to the main street of Siena.  the main street runs north south and used to run all the way to Rome in the south and up to Canterbury in England to the north.  Main street also had many good examples of Gothic architecture which is slightly different from what we have most often seen in Italy thus far.  We also saw the first bank of Siena which is called Monte dei Paschi and is still active today as a private bank.  Next we saw the Cathedral of Siena.  This cathedral had pretty vibrant colors on the outside and an awe-inspiring inside.  The pulpit of the cathedral was highly praised by our tour guide.  She said that when a person addresses a crowd from atop this pulpit it […]

Fast Cars and Motorcycles

by john4210 @ Engineering in Rome

January 19th (Apologies for having these out of order) Today was all about cars and bikes. We had the privelege to go on factory tours of both Maserati and Ducati. The first tour we went on was that of Maserati. We had a chance to walk through the factory as the cars were being hand assembled. Maserati is all about the quality. We learned that they only produce around 5,300 cars a year. This is extremely low, no wonder the cars cost so much! It was pretty cool to see the whole process in action. I think secretly we had all wanted to “test drive” one of those cars. There are only 4 test drivers that put on about 60 miles before the car is shipped off to a dealership. How would you like to have that as your job? After the tour we all tried to get pictures in the cars in the showroom. That didn’t last too long as you can imagine, and finally a worker came out and locked all the cars on us. Before heading to the Ducati factory we took the bus out into the middle of nowhere. We all wondered where we were at. […]

Acidophilus Forte

Acidophilus Forte


Thomas Labs

Acidophilus Forte  from Thomas Labs ®  is a probiotic supplement that is specially formulated for dogs, cats, and birds. It contains an optimized level of probiotics to help support and balance probiotic levels. This bird and pet probiotic uses high levels of Lactobacillus acidophilus to promote digestive health, support nutrient absorption, and optimize bacteria levels in the gut. Just as many yogurts help people maintain these levels,  Acidophilus Forte  from Thomas Labs ®  does the same for animals. Choose  Acidophilus Forte  to help maintain a healthy gut in your dog, cat, or bird! We all have beneficial bacteria in our intestinal tracts, and these bacteria are necessary for normal digestion. This includes animals too! But stress can easily cause a bacterial imbalance in the gut, which can result in diarrhea, difficulty in digesting food, vulnerability to disease, and decreased appetite. Probiotics can help because they contain the beneficial bacteria normally found in the intestinal tract, and these bacteria help re-establish and maintain a healthy gut.

Last Day in Italy

by john4210 @ Engineering in Rome

January 23rd Already the last day. I think it’s safe to say that this trip went by incredibly fast. Maybe too fast. Today we had a chance to go to the Museum of Science in Florence. (This museum was a little different than the one we have back in St. Paul) We had our own time to stroll around the exhibits, and had an electronic device to help guide us. Cameras weren’t allowed in the museum but there were some really interesting things inside, things that we take for granted. Some of the coolest things had to do with Galileo. Not only did we get to see his fingers and a tooth, but we got to see his telescopes. What a brilliant man he was. After we finished at the Science Museum, we had a couple hours to do whatever we pleased. Naturally we all went shopping to the markets and got some last minute gifts. We all met back at the hotel and hopped onto the bus, a place we’ve grown accustomed to. We had our last glimpse of Florence and then headed for our last meal together. What an adventure our last night together was. We ended up having […]

Effect of probiotics on metabolic profiles in type 2... : Medicine

Effect of probiotics on metabolic profiles in type 2... : Medicine


LWW

tics are live micro-organisms that are believed to provide a specific health benefit on the host. Whether probiotic supplementation could improve metabolic profiles by modifying gut microbiota in T2DM or not is still in controversy.The aim of the study is to assess the effect of probiotic supplementation on metabolic profiles in T2DM.We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library up to 12 April 2016. Two review authors independently assessed study eligibility, extracted data, and evaluated risk of bias of included studies. Data were pooled by using the random-effect model and expressed as standardized mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Heterogeneity was assessed and quantified (I2).A total of 12 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included. Lipid profiles (n = 508) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) (n = 520) were reported in 9 trials; the homeostasis model of assessment for insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) (n = 368) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (n = 380) were reported in 6 trials. Probiotics could alleviate FBG (SMD –0.61 mmol/L, 95% CI [–0.92, –0.30], P = 0.0001). Probiotics could increase high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) (SMD 0.42 mmol/L, 95% CI [0.08, 0.76], P = 0.01). There were no significant differences in low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), HbA1c and HOMA-IR between the treatment group and the control group.Probiotics may improve glycemic control and lipid metabolism in T2DM. Application of probiotic agents might become a new method for glucose management in T2DM....
