TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH By Paul G. Donohue, M.D. Viruses Sometimes Attack the Heart DEAR DR. DONOHUE: A friend in his late 40s thought he had the flu and called his doctor for medicine. Later he had trouble breathing and went to the emergency room, where they said he was having a heart attack. Several hours later, he passed away. An autopsy showed that a virus had attacked his heart. I know there are many types of viruses, but what kind did he have? How does a person get this kind of virus? If it had been found in time, could something have been done to stop it? -- R.R.

By Chris Richcreek

ANSWER: Your friend had myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart. Viruses are one cause of it. The virus most often involved is the Coxsackie virus, named after the New York town where it was first identified. Myocarditis can be so mild that it produces no symptoms. Or it can be so overwhelming that it is fatal. It occurs at any age. Often, a respiratory infection (even a common cold) or a gastrointestinal disorder (stomach flu) might precede it. A young person -- and your friend is considered young -- struggling to breathe puts the doctor on alert to suspect that a failing heart is responsible and that a viral infection of the heart could be the cause.

1. Matt Stairs tied a record in 2010 by playing for his 12th major-league team. Name either of the two pitchers to hold the mark. 2. Hank Aaron was one of three majorleaguers who played for both the Milwaukee Braves and Milwaukee Brewers. Name either of the other two to do it. 3. At the end of the 2010 college football season, how many schools in the Big 12 had won at least one national title in football? 4. Name the last team before the 2006-08 Detroit Pistons to lose in the round before the NBA Finals three years in a row. 5. Who was the last New York Ranger before Derek Stepan in 2010 to begin a season with a hat trick? 6. Who ended Russian Alexander Karelin’s winning streak of 13 years at the 2000 Olympic Greco-Roman wrestling finals? 7. Name the golfer who came from behind in the final round to beat Tiger Woods in the 2009 PGA Championship.

Coxsackie viruses are transmitted from one person to the next through respiratory droplets or from foods, hands or utensils contaminated with the virus. We have no medicine that kills this virus. Most of the time, none is needed, since nearly all Coxsackie infections are minor troubles. In cases like your friend’s, medicines to keep the heart beating forcefully usually can tide a person over the dangerous period of heart failure. Your friend’s story is tragic. The booklet on congestive heart failure describes the more common kinds of it, not the kind due to viral infections.

Can’t Get Enough Tidbits?

February 14, 2011

It was British author and publisher Ernest Benn who made the following observation: “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.” If you live in Michigan, make sure you keep this in mind: If you want to hunt with a slingshot, you’ll need a special license. If you took all the other planets in our solar system and rolled them into one big ball, that ball would fit inside the gas giant Jupiter. The next time you’re heading to Chicago, plan a stop in the nearby town of Niles. While there you can visit the Leaning Tower of Niles, a recently renovated half-size replica of the somewhat more famous Leaning Tower of Pisa. The attraction was built in 1934 by industrialist Robert Ilg as part of a recreation park for employees of his Hot Air Electric Ventilating Company of Chicago. Although Billy the Kid was a notorious 19thcentury outlaw, he never robbed a store, a stagecoach, a bank or a train. A flea can jump 13 inches in a single leap. That may not seem like much, but to achieve a comparable feat, you would have to make a 700-foot jump. Those who wish to cut federal spending today might want to take note of this historical fact: In 1790, United States senators earned a grand total of $6 per day -- and only when Congress was in session. The ancient Romans appreciated smooth, hairless skin -- but to get that look they used pumice stones to sand off the hair. Ouch.

• The Frisbie Baking Company opened in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in 1871, and earned a good living selling pies to many of the New England colleges, including Yale. Beginning in the 1940s, Yale students discovered that tossing the empty pie tin made for great fun, and students turned it into a game. Meanwhile, out in California, an L.A. building inspector, Walter Frederick Morrison, who was quite interested in flying saucers, invented a plastic flying disc in 1948, and named it the Pluto Platter. When Wham-O toy executives spotted Yale students engaged in pie-pan tossing, they convinced Morrison to sell them his rights. Wham-O renamed the disc the Frisbee in honor of the pie company, although it altered the spelling slightly. Today, the games of Ultimate Frisbee and Disc Golf draw thousands of players a year as the plastic saucer continues to rise in popularity. Incidentally, William Morrison’s family was no stranger to inventing — his father had invented the automotive sealedbeam headlight. • A different kind of disc was developed in 1971 by Alan Shugart, an engineer at IBM. Shugart introduced the first “memory disc,” better known as the floppy disc, an 8-inch flexible plastic device coated with magnetic iron oxide, capable of storing computer data. This first floppy disc could hold 100 KBs of data. Shugart spent his off-hours founding a five-star restaurant in Monterey, California, and attempting to get his dog Ernest on the ballot for Congressman, a venture he chronicled in his book “Ernest Goes to Washington (Well, Not Exactly).”

OVERCOMING THE ODDS:

THOMAS EDISON Thomas Edison is hailed as “the wizard of Menlo Park” and “the greatest inventor who ever lived.” But to reach that success, he encountered many obstacles that threatened to derail him. Take a look at how this wizard overcame them. • The youngest of seven children, Thomas Edison didn’t learn to talk until he was nearly four years old. Difficulty with words and speech, along with an inability to focus, followed him into the schoolroom. Today he most probably would have been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). After only three months in the local one-room schoolhouse, the teacher informed Edison’s parents that Tom’s brains were “addled” or “scrambled.” And so came the end of Edison’s formal education. His mother withdrew him and began to educate him at home. • Edison’s father encouraged the young boy to read great classic literature and rewarded him with a dime for each one he read. Edison had a great love for Shakespeare and even considered becoming an actor for a time because of it. When Edison’s interest in the sciences advanced beyond his parents’ abilities, they hired a tutor for him. • A bout of scarlet fever and untreated chronic ear infections led to severe hearing loss for the young Edison. He became completely deaf in his left ear and lost 80 percent of the hearing in his right. • As a teenager, an event occurred that changed the course of his life. As he boarded a train, the stationmaster’s young son walked onto the tracks in front of an oncoming train. A quickthinking Edison grabbed the boy and saved his life. As a reward, the stationmaster helped Edison become skilled in the use of the telegraph and Morse code. A job with Western Union followed,

How much do you really know about those useful little laces that tie up your shoes? This week, Tidbits delves into their history and brings you all you need to know! • Some short of “shoe tie” has existed since ancient times. Early humans tied animal hides to their feet with pieces of leather, jute, hemp, strips of bark or long grasses. Evidence from 3,000 B.C. shows sophisticated insulated leather shoes fastened with ties of lime tree bark strips. As early as the 12th century, folks were weaving a type of lace through hooks on the front or side of shoes. • The name of Harvey Kennedy isn’t a familiar one, but he holds a special spot in history. Kennedy is credited with the invention of the modern shoelace. Although the idea had been around for thousands of years, Kennedy received the first shoelace patent in 1790, and made a cool $2.5 million for his efforts (equivalent to about $50 billion in today’s money). However, it wasn’t until the 20th century that shoelaces became widely popular. At that time, people were wearing slip-on, buckled or buttoned shoes. The buttoned shoes required a special button hook to fasten, which was a rather tedious process.
