Remembering the sacriﬁces of war dogs

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: This Memorial Day, I hope you can call attention to the sacriﬁces made by war dogs, who have served side by side with American troops for over 100 years, taking on missions that their human counterparts could never do so well. Many gave their lives protecting others. -- Charles B., via email

DEAR CHARLES: Absolutely. Military working dogs, often called “war dogs,” are an essential part of America’s armed forces. They provide security around the world and are trained for specialized missions like drugs and explosives detection, sentry duty, scouting, and search and rescue. Military working dogs are even part of special forces units. Over the past century, war dogs have played essential roles.

In the past, German Shepherds were the primary breed used as military working dogs. Recently, the armed services have shifted to slightly smaller breeds. The Belgian Malinois is the preferred breed for military working dogs today.

Sadly, during the Vietnam War, thousands of military working dogs overseas were euthanized or abandoned when their service was done. In 2000, President Clinton signed a law that allowed war dogs to be adopted once their service was over. More than 400 military working dogs have been killed in action since World War II. It’s estimated that they have saved over 10,000 lives.Today, a War Dog memorial stands in Bristol Township, Pennsylvania, to call attention to these selﬂess heroes, as well as a War Dog statue outside the Airborne & Special Operations Museum in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

As we remember the sacrifices of American troops this Memorial Day, I hope you’ll all take a moment to remember the loyal, highly trained working dogs who gave their all to keep their comrades in arms safe from harm.There’s an old saying that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” and that is certainly the case with fleas, which can be hard to eliminate from your home once they get a foothold. There are many options today -- not just collars -- to prevent fleas from getting on your cat. Talk to your vet about the treatment they recommend for Belle.

WHY HANDWASHING IS SO IMPORTANT AND EFFECTIVE

Winter is historically marked by an increase in people getting sick. That’s because certain conditions common to winter can make it easier for infectious agents to spread. Handwashing becomes even more essential as winter rears its chilly head.

Northwestern Medicine says the body is not as effective at fighting a virus when cold air enters the nose and upper airways. That means the flu, common cold and even COVID-19 can spread more easily in the winter. Also, people tend to huddle indoors where it is warm when the mercury outside drops. That puts people in closer contact with others who may be harboring these viruses or other infectious diseases in their bodies. Individuals often get less exposure to sunlight during the winter, which can adversely affect their natural production of vitamin D. Low levels of vitamin D have been linked to a weakened immune system, which can make fighting illnesses more difficult.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says handwashing is an important step in staying healthy all year long, and especially during the winter when conditions are ripe for the spread of disease. Many diseases and conditions are spread by not washing hands with soap and clean running water. The CDC says that, in addition to the viruses mentioned above, people can become ill from exposure to even small amounts of feces from people or animals, which can contain Salmonella, E. coli and norovirus. It also may spread some respiratory infections like adenovirus and hand-foot-mouth disease. These germs can get onto hands after people use the toilet or change a diaper, but also after handling raw meats that have minute amounts of animal feces on them.

The Cleveland Clinic advises that a person can prevent one in three illnesses that cause diarrhea and one in ﬁve respiratory infections simply by keeping hands clean.Germs from unwashed hands can be transferred to objects like tabletops,door handles and even foods and beverages, which underscores the signiﬁcance of handwashing.

The best way to wash hands involves some easy steps.

1. You should wash your hands frequently, and especially after using the toilet; changing diapers; before, during and after preparing food; before eating; before touching your nose, eyes or mouth (including handling dentures or orthodontic aligners); after sneezing, coughing or blowing your nose; and when you arrive home from shopping or being in high-trafﬁc public areas.

2. Wet your hands with clean, running water and use soap if it is available. Any soap will do. Antibacterial products are not essential.

3. Lather up for about 20 seconds, says Nemours KidsHealth, and make sure to get in between ﬁngers, on the back of hands and under the nails where germs like to linger. Don’t forget to also wash the wrists.

4. If possible, remove rings and watches before washing hands, or try to at least move the rings to wash under them.

5. Rinse hands well under running water to remove all traces of soap.

6. Dry hands using a clean towel or air dry them. It is best to use paper towels or a single-use cloth towel.

7. Use a clean paper towel to turn off the faucet and open the door in public restrooms. People at home should routinely wipe down faucets and handles with cleansing products to remove germs from these high-touch points. Frequent laundering of towels also can be effective.

REAL ESTATE

“When I say family,I mean the large family, in all its generations and ramiﬁcations. The lack of emotional security of our American young people is due, I believe, to their isolation from the larger family unit. No two people — no mere father and mother — as I have often said, are enough to provide emotional security for a child. He needs to feel himself one in a world of kinfolk, persons of variety in age and sex and temperament, and yet allied to himself by an indissoluble bond which he cannot break if he would, for nature has welded him into it before he was born. Our dangerously extreme individualism, inherited from forebears who were rebels and left their homes to roam in the great wilderness of a new country, has led to a rejection of the familybyeveryindividual,ingreater or less degree.”

Are Screening Centers Worth The Money?

DEAR DR. ROACH: I see screening tests advertised often. For $160, I can get screened for conditions that might cause strokes, heart disease, aneurysms, etc. My partner and I are in our early and mid-60s. Should we get these done? -- K.S.

ANSWER: Sometimes screening tests make a great deal of sense; other times they don’t. It all depends on how likely it is that a person would have the condition in question. For example, screening for an aneurysm of the aorta has been proven to save lives in men between 65-75 with any history of smoking. It can also be considered in other people, especially if there is a family history of an abdominal aortic aneurysm.

On the other hand, many stand-alone screening centers offer ultrasound evaluations of the carotid arteries in the neck, but expert groups such as the United States Preventive Services Task Force recommend against it in people without symptoms. They have concluded that screening for blockages of the carotid arteries in people without symptoms is more likely to result in harm than beneﬁt.

The main harm comes from false-positive ultrasounds, which must often be confirmed by an angiogram. About 1% of people get a stroke during an angiogram, which is more than the expected benefit of finding and treating blockages in a person with no symptoms. Some people would be helped by screenings, but more people are expected to be harmed.

I have also seen an unfortunate lack of timely follow-ups. I had a family member get a screening done, and shortly after he died of a heart attack, a letter came from the center saying that he should follow up with a cardiologist.

In my opinion,screening tests should be decided on by your doctor, who knows your medical history.I don’t recommend going to places that just do screening, even if the price (in money) is affordable.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am an 81-year-old man in fairly good health, I think, except for osteoporosis. Three years ago, I had a very weak pulse rate and was hospitalized. My wife thought I was having a stroke. The cardiologist had a pacemaker implanted, and I’ve been good since.

But two months ago, the cardiologist listened to my chest and said I had a murmur, a word I didn’t know. She also said “sinuses” and “plaque” and “valve.” She ordered an echocardiogram, which I’ve had, but don’t know the results of yet. Am I in danger? If so, how much? -- W.C.G.

ANSWER: By now, I hope and expect that your cardiologist will have told you not to worry. A “murmur” is just a sound that doctors can hear from the heart, which sometimes means that there is damage to one of the four valves of the heart. Guessing by the terms she used, I think your cardiologist is concerned that you may have calcium (“plaque”) in the aortic valve, which is supported by the sinuses of Valsalva in the aortic root.

Calcium in the aortic valve by itself may not cause problems, but it can keep the valve from being able to open all the way -a condition called aortic stenosis. It isn’t always easy to hear the difference between aortic valve calciﬁcation and aortic stenosis, but an echocardiogram gives a very accurate measurement of the aortic valve opening.

If you have aortic stenosis, she will discuss your options, which may include surgery if it is severe. However, if you have the more common calciﬁcation without stenosis,she will make sure that your blood pressure and cholesterol levels are controlled and will likely redo the echo in a few years.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu.

When did we own a pickup truck? Recently, we placed old material and debris curbside for our municipal “Cleanup Day”. Upon the next day, we discovered four (4) pickup truck tires added curbside. We do not own a truck! Ugh! It seems [local town] gas stations now have the highest price per gallon than any surrounding town. I just drove around [local town], [local town], [local town] and they all have lower prices. How is this possible, I can’t possibly ﬁgure it out, what a conundrum...

TIPS TO GET A MORE RESTFUL NIGHT’S SLEEP

Keep devices out of the bedroom. Screens are everywhere in modern life,and that includes the bedroom.In fact,the National Sleep Foundation’s 2022 Sleep in America® Poll found that 58 percent of survey participants acknowledged looking at screens within an hour before bedtime. The NSF reports that device usage so close to bedtime can adversely affect sleep quality because the blue light emitted from screens has shorter wavelengths than other colors in the visible light spectrum, which results in more alertness than warmer tones. The blue light actually confuses the brain into thinking it’s earlier in the day,thus making it harder to fall asleep.

The death of a loved is difﬁcult to confront. Emotions are elevated and grief is prominent. which can make it hard to make important decisions. Quite often several people need to come together to make decisions necessary for a family member’s funeral arrangements. There also is a ﬁnancial component to consider.

According to Lincoln Heritage Life Insurance Company, the average funeral costs between $7,000 and $12,000, which may or may not include viewing, burial, transport, casket, and other fees. Surviving family members responsible for planning a funeral may be asked to contribute a portion of these expenses if other arrangements have not already been made, which can exacerbate stressful feelings during an already difﬁcult time.

Funeral pre-planning is a good way for individuals to make a difﬁcult time a little more manageable for their survivors. Funeral homes frequently work hand-in-hand with individuals and families to customize pre-planning packages and facilitate the process.
