Back to school – and dealing with head lice

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:38:50 GMT

For many families, the start of school is a busy, exciting time of year. For some families, though, returning to school also means unpleasant, unwelcome guests: head lice.An estimated 6-12 million infestations of head lice occur each year in the U.S. among children 3 to 11 years old, predominantly among preschool children in child care settings and children in elementary school, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Members of their households also are at risk.What are head lice?Head lice are tiny insects that feed on blood from the human scalp. Head lice don’t carry bacterial or viral diseases, and having head lice isn’t a sign of poor personal hygiene or an unclean living environment.Head lice crawl, but they can’t jump or fly. They most often affect children and are spread primarily by direct head-to-head contact. The risk of spreading head lice is greatest among children within a family or children who have close contact at school or play...

Asking for modification when divorce appeal is pending

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:38:50 GMT

Q. My ex and I were never able to reach an agreement in our divorce and we had a trial last year.  He filed a notice of appeal. The appeal process seems to take a while and the lawyers have not even filed their briefs.Since the divorce, my ex has refused to cooperate with the recommendations of our child’s doctors and will not agree to put her on anti-anxiety medication.  Her anxiety is really bad and I am very concerned about her transition to middle school in two weeks.  Our divorce judgment says we have joint legal custody so I cannot agree to the treatment unless he also agrees.  Further, I was working a lot of overtime during the divorce trial on a long-term project.  Now that overtime is gone my income is significantly lower than it was at the time of trial.  I have had to take unpaid time off to care for our daughter when she has panic attacks.My lawyer said I can’t modify my divorce until the appeal is done.  This just doesn’t seem right.  Is there any way to get around this...

‘Lakota Nation Vs. The United States’ a head-on view of history

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:38:50 GMT

Abraham Lincoln, in the fall of 1862 as the Civil War raged, ordered the hanging of 38 indigenous Native Americans in a bloody conflict known as the Dakota War or the Sioux Uprising.“It remains the largest mass execution in the United States,” said Jesse Short Bull, the co-director with Laura Tomaselli, of the expansive new documentary “Lakota Nation Vs. The United States.”That’s certainly a shocking chapter in this most revered president’s life that was omitted from Steven Spielberg’s “Lincoln.”“And that’s why, when you come to South Dakota and you come to a reservation,” Short Bull said, “Lincoln’s not really well thought of.”Adding insult to injury:  Lincoln looms among the four presidents enshrined on the Mount Rushmore monument, which stands in the middle of long-disputed Lakota sacred lands.“Lakota Nation” covers America’s blighted history with the sovereign nation but much more.“This film we made is certainly a documentary — as opposed to an argument &...

More than one way to fix dog’s hematoma

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:38:50 GMT

Dear Dr. John,About a year ago, I lost my Pitbull that I had for many years. He developed a swollen ear (hematoma). It was drained a few times without much success until I found a vet who suggested surgery to fix the problem. It worked! Why didn’t the other vets do the same? Recently, I adopted a young male Pitbull who is an absolute love. Just by chance, he recently developed a swelling of the left ear reminiscent of what my old dog had. It was smaller than what I experienced with my other dog and since it was the weekend, I took him in to a large emergency hospital. I think they drained a small amount of fluid and then sent me home with a steroid, and antibiotic, and some pain meds to calm him down. It seems to be healing but what is the right way to address this kind of problem? B.T.Dear B.T.,The condition that your dogs had is what is known as aural hematomas. They arise often from shaking their heads a lot secondary to an ear infection. By shaking their heads, the flaps of thei...
