Tick season shi s into full gear – are you ready?
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My dog “Happy” and I went hiking this weekend, and when we got back to the car, I did the usual check for bugs and burrs on his long coat. I was shocked to find 12 tiny ticks clinging to his fur. I brushed them off and found five more scurrying around my boot laces. These are baby ticks, right? Should I be worried about tick bites for both of us? – Karl M., Roanoke, Virginia
DEAR KARL: You should continue to be vigilant over the next few days, but don’t worry too much -- unless Happy shows signs of illness.Doing a “tick check” after each trip outdoors is important,and you did exactly what you needed to do. Over the next few days, brush through Happy’s coat frequently to dislodge any additional ticks. Newly hatched ticks are indeed tiny and hard to see. Run your hand through Happy’s coat so that you can check his skin for visible bites or lodged ticks. If you notice a bull’s-eye rash around an area, contact the veterinarian.
If you haven’t treated your hiking boots or clothing with permethrin yet, now is the time to do so. Spray the treatment outside, away from Happy or any other animal, and do not let Happy near those clothes until they have dried completely. The permethrin will stay effective through a few washes.
To keep ticks out of the house, follow similar procedures to flea prevention. Give Happy a regular flea and tick preventative; vacuum and mop the house regularly, and terminate any ticks you find.

What to know about hospice at home e philosophy behind hospice is that people should be able to live as fully and as comfortably as possible through the last days of their lives, surrounded by loved ones and friends. Hospice treats the symptoms of illness rather than trying to be curative. Hospice also does not try to postpone nor accelerate death.
e American Cancer Society says hospice care is offered by a team of professionals who work together to manage distress, symptoms and spiritual issues. Services also are offered to family members, including access to counselors and bereavement experts. Hospice workers help family members make decisions and plan care. Hospice is a form of care, rather than a place. Saying a person is going into hospice means he or she will begin to receive this type of palliative care. While hospice can take place in a center that only offers this type of service, a hospice team can work in a variety of settings, including one’s home.

“If I Can’t Have a Nielsen Granite Memorial, I’m Not Going!”
By Lucie Winborne
As novels became more prominent during the 1700s, society and the media became increasingly concerned that young people spent too much time reading books. They even went so far as to call it “reading rage,” “reading fever,” “reading mania” and “reading lust.”
Writing a Sympathy Card
An authentic handwritten message can mean a lot to someone dealing with grief. It shows that you’ve sat down and thought about it as opposed to buying a pre-written card. Sharing fond memories and sincere feelings is a respectful way to remember the passing of a loved one and to offer condolences to their friends and family. If you’re able to offer support, then definitely mention this in your sympathy card. ose grieving will o en have lots to do and will appreciate any help you may be able to offer even if they don’t take you up on it.

Many people receive hospice care at home. VNS Health provides care in spaces patients call home and says that hospice care can include administration of medications, arrangement of equipment (like beds and oxygen) and visits from a hospice care team. A hospice team may include nurses, social workers, physicians, therapists, and even clergy who come to the home to offer support and care.
Home hospice care begins with a team member visiting with a terminally ill person and his or her family. During a visit, needs will be addressed and the hospice team can arrange for desired services.
Members of the hospice staff will visit regularly to check up and make sure that any symptoms are under control.
Families are urged to do their homework to find the best program for their needs.
But though his thought and talkwereallbookishandsmelt of the lamp, yet they were as racy with the elements of every-day life as they were flavored with the essence of all good literatures. The truth was, he lived two lives: one alone with his library, the other active in courts; the one led him in silence through the memorable thoughts and splendid epitaphs of the dead; the other in noise and confusion through the jealous heartsandsquabblingtongues and tedious narratives of the living.

Acidification: According to The Deep Blue Organization, acidification occurs when there is a drop in the ocean’s pH levels, which happens when carbon is absorbed into the water and the chemical composition of seawater changes and becomes more acidic. Acidification can reduce carbonate in seawater and animals with shells or exoskeletons will not get enough of a key element they need to survive.

What does the word Easter mean? Another theory suggests that the word ‘Easter’ originated from the German word for ‘East,’ also meaning dawn.
The most common Easter tradition is dyeing Easter eggs, including a lot of fun activities such as egg rolling and egg hunts. Flying kites and games like leapfrog are also popular, as well as games associated with the Easter bunny.
Chocolate and other candy, especially bunny- or egg-shaped ones are widely consumed. Pastel colors like pink, baby blue, and lilac are associated with this day and are seen everywhere on clothing, dyed eggs, and at events.

ONE TIP TO TO UPDATE A RESUME TO ALIGN WITH THE MODERN JOB MARKET
Include important keywords. The frustration many modern professionals feel when looking for new opportunities may stem from how easy it can be to apply for a job but never hear back.
Indeed notes that many hiring managers utilize applicant tracking system (ATS) software when considering applications. Such programs scan resumes for predetermined keywords, discarding applications that do not include them. Reading each listing carefully can shed light on which keywords to include, as the right terms tend to be right there in the job description. Indeed also advises mentioning the company’s name and exact position title in the summary statement or career objective section.
POPULAR BOARD GAME THROUGH THE YEARS
1986: Fireball Island involved moving around the board to retrieve a giant ruby from the top of a mountain.
A recent survey of home renovation industry professionals conducted by Fixr.com found that creating indoor spaces outdoors was homeowners’ biggest priority regarding renovations in 2022. Sixty-two percent of renovation-minded homeowners surveyed indicated outdoor dining areas are their most sought-after living space. In addition, 41 percent of respondents felt outdoor kitchens were their biggest priority. The survey found that certain outdoor living space features were especially popular, none more so than comfortable outdoor furniture. Firepits, outdoor fireplaces, swimming pools, hot tubs, and outdoor connectivity were some additional popular features among homeowners focused on their outdoor living spaces.
Many times family members are the first to recognize a friend or loved one forgetting newly learned information, especially recent events, places and names.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT EATING BEFORE A WORKOUT
How much should I eat before exercising? It’s unlikely anyone is going to want to eat a large meal before a workout. Doing so will undoubtedly affect performance in a negative way, particularly if you’re eating shortly before a workout. The HSS notes that the further away a workout is from the time a person eats, the larger and more mixed that meal can be. According to the HSS, the general guideline around eating and exercise is:
• A full meal three to four hours before exercising
• A higher carbohydrate snack two hours before exercising and/or a small, easily digested carbohydrate right up until the start of a workout

Outdoor drainage: Maintaining effective outdoor drainage is another way to prevent mold growth in a home. This typically requires maintaining gutters and drains so they do not become clogged during or after rainstorms. Gutter guards can prevent gutters and drains from clogging. Homeowners also may want to work with a landscaper or landscape architect to ensure soil around the house slopes away from the foundation, which can prevent water from pooling near the walls. When water pools near the walls, this can contribute to foundation problems and make it easier for mold to grow.
Five-year survival rates for prostate cancer are notably high. Johns Hopkins Medicine notes that approximately 80 to 85 percent of all prostate cancers are detected in the local or regional stages, which plays a significant role in improving survival rates for the disease. Johns Hopkins notes that many men diagnosed with prostate cancer and treated at the local or regional stages are cancer-free after five years. Indeed, the American Cancer Society reports that the five-year survival rates for localized and regional prostate cancers was greater than 99 percent. Localized indicates there is no evidence that the cancer has spread beyond the prostate, while regional means it has spread to nearby structures or lymph nodes. The high survival rates for local and regional prostate cancers underscore the effectiveness of screening for the disease. The ACS recommends men who are at average risk for prostate cancer discuss screening with their physicians at age 50, while those at high risk should open such a dialogue at age 45. Men at very high risk, which includes individuals with a first-degree relative who had prostate cancer at an early age, should discuss screening upon reaching age 40.When prostate cancer has spread to other parts of the body, the five-year survival rate is 34 percent

Q.
By Keith Roach, M.D.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am an 80-year-old woman in good health with low blood pressure,and the only medication I take is levothyroxine. A 6-by5.5-mm aneurysm was discovered in my brain, and the scan shows one lobular protrusion that may be of concern for rupture.
I am trying to decide if I should go through with a procedure, but I am not sure about the effectiveness, risks, and possible post-procedure adverse reactions. It is my understanding that these coils have been on the market for a while, and I was wondering which product is best if this information is available. I was informed that the coil is made of platinum.
Two last questions: Does the coil lead to clotting, causing the aneurysm to be occluded? What prevents blood clots from entering the vascular system in the brain and causing problems? -- I.C.
ANSWER: An aneurysm is a weakening in the wall of the artery, which causes part of the artery to enlarge. If the enlargement is big enough, a person is at risk for rupture, which causes a bleed inside the brain that can lead to a potentially devastating stroke,depending on the size and location of the aneurysm.
When the aneurysm is big enough to be concerned for rupture, they are considered for repair, which can be done through the surgical placement of a clip or by placing a platinum coil inside the aneurysm. This is done endovascularly, meaning that a catheter is placed in the affected artery. Under a fluoroscopy (a real-time X-ray), the coil is opened up. This causes a clot in the aneurysm, which protects the thinned wall from enlarging further and reduces the risk of rupture.
You are quite right that the clot can propagate and break off. A large study showed that this can happen up to 9% of the time,but newer techniques and medications to prevent this complication have the potential to reduce it further. Your neurosurgeon needs to weigh the risk of a clot or rupture during the procedure against the benefit of preventing a spontaneous rupture of the aneurysm. This takes judgment, and only your doctor can make this call based on the precise characteristics of your aneurysm and your overall medical condition.
I will note that the risk of rupture or a clot breaking off are lower when the aneurysm hasn’t ruptured, compared to when the procedure is done as an emergency. You also have to rely on your surgeon to choose the best product for you. Unfortunately, there aren’t studies to guide the decision, so it’s left to clinical judgment. With my own patients, I defer to the surgeon.
Q.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I have never given much thought to the spellings of various medications. Why do some have an uppercase first letter while others do not? Patent versus generic maybe? -- C.A.W.
ANSWER: You’re right. All medicines have a generic name, which is uncapitalized, as well as a brand name. For example, furosemide’s brand name is Lasix. There’s also a chemical name, which is usually a mouthful. Manufacturers try to make the brand name memorable (“Lasix” was chosen to remind doctors that it “lasts six” hours), so they will often choose to use the brand name even when a generic substitute is available.
A.
I prefer generic names when prescribing medications and when discussing them with the students and residents I teach,as the generic name often gives clues to the structure and mechanism of the drug.

My special THANKS to the kind young woman who thought she had cut me off at our drive thru coffee establishment in Hamlin. It was a cold, snowy morning almost 2 months ago. I had pulled over to answer my phone before entering the drive thru lane. A woman went around me. I finished my call & pulled in behind her. She must have thought she cut me off & kindly paid for my coffee & breakfast wrap as an apology -- you don’t see that consideration often!, How very thoughtful of her. I had no way to thank her or to assure her that she did NOT cut me off. I took that amount of money I was going to pay for my meal ,added to it & donated it to our food bank. I hope that it pays forward & the thoughtful lady reads this!!
Thank you so very much to whoever found and turned in my cell phone on St. Patrick’s Day at the local Post Office. I was doing a complicated mailing and set my phone down on the counter to look up an address. I was several miles away when I noticed it was missing and anxiously drove back expecting it to be gone. When I asked at the front desk, the clerk presented the phone to me and said someone had turned it in and didn’t leave their name. I am very appreciative of the honesty and integrity of this person and they made my St. Patrick’s Day a truly lucky day!
There are amazing people today, so I don’t mean to overgeneralize, but let’s think before we speak, shall we?! When you call up a business to complain about a service that’s not really in their purview but you holler and yell over the phone, what does that accomplish?! Likely, the person answering the phone does not get paid enough to be berated for something out of their control. More power to the folks who can answer phone lines when customers are known to be upset more often than not, but to holler and yell at a receptionist who helps direct your calls and take down information to help you and your fellow humans, that’s really low. Let’s remember to be civil. If that means we need to wait a moment to cool down before calling someone, so be it. You’ll catch more flies with honey, as the old adage goes.
I live on [local road] and there are “No Parking” signs up and down the street. My visitors obey the signs and park in the public parking lot or if it’s a quick stop, we use our flashers. Unfortunately, there have been numerous times that vehicles parking in front of [local address] were there for hours and even overnight!! Maybe a ticket or two would remedy the owners disregard for that parking. I also hope they don’t block the firetrucks trying to turn in or out of their parking lot. It’s been close a couple times.
