  • despite the decline in cancer deaths overall, lung cancer death rates continue to rise among women in all countries, while breast cancer rates fall.
  • in 2015 lung cancer is going to become the first cause of cancer mortality in Europe

      Makes me question the reliability of this source... reputable journals don't write using incorrect grammar (the not than) and name calling..
  • Marijuana’s treatment of glaucoma has been one of the best documented. There isn’t a single valid study that exists that disproves marijuana’s very powerful and popular effects on glaucoma patients.

  • Birth control pills are effective in preventing pregnancy 98 to 99 percent of the time, but at what cost? According to Planned Parenthood, their potential short-term side effects include bleeding between periods, nausea, vomiting and breast tenderness, and many women report weight gain and low sex drive. Serious side effects include strokes, hypertension, liver tumors and blood clots in the legs, lungs, heart and brain. It’s also common for long-term pill users to develop gallstones.

      Should we come up with a flu vaccine for animals?
  • A group of veterinarians at Oregon State and Iowa State Universities is now looking into the risk of flu for an unexpected population that doesn’t have access to flu shots: dogs, cats and other household pets.

      Good Idea. Great minds think alike.

  • “We worry a lot about zoonoses, the transmission of diseases from animals to people,” said Christiane Loehr, a professor at the OSU College of Veterinary Medicine. “But most people don’t realize that humans can also pass diseases to animals, and this raises questions and concerns about mutations, new viral forms and evolving diseases that may potentially be zoonotic. And, of course, there is concern about the health of the animals.”

      If this was put out more, I bet people would take this seriously in America we treat our animals like our childern.
  • H1N1 (“swine flu“) and H5N1 (“bird flu”)
  • The first recorded instance, described in an article published by the team in Veterinary Pathology, took place in Oregon in 2009.

      Look at that article.
  • While a cat owner was hospitalized with H1N1, both of her cats (which stayed indoors and had no contact with other sick people or animals) came down with flu-like symptoms and eventually died. A postmortem analysis of their lungs and nasal cavities turned up the H1N1 virus

      Articles are mainly focusing on H1N1.
  • “It’s reasonable to assume there are many more cases of this than we know about, and we want to learn more,” Loehr said.
  • “Any time you have infection of a virus into a new species, it’s a concern, a black box of uncertainty,” Loehr noted.
  • this news might trigger immediate concern,

      Shouldn't this be on the news then?
  • the flu could be passed from human to pet, mutate into a more dangerous form,
  • “We don’t know for sure what the implications might be, but we do think this deserves more attention.”

      I agree very much.

    A good question Alexis... I think that people would pay for a flu vaccine for their pets.
