Endocarditis

• MOUNT PLEASANT, Texas, Nov. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Mid America Pet Food, Mount Pleasant, Texas, is expanding its October 30, 2023, voluntary recall to include additional pet food products, with Best By Dates before 10/31/24, made at its Mount Pleasant facility, due to the products' potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.
• Salmonella can affect animals eating the products, and there is risk to humans from handling contaminated pet products, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the products or any surfaces exposed to these products.
• Rarely, Salmonella can result in more serious ailments, including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms.
• Voluntarily recalled brands produced at the Mount Pleasant facility include: Victor Super Premium Dog Foods, Wayne Feeds Dog Food, Eagle Mountain Pet Food, and some Member's Mark varieties with Best By Dates before 10/31/24.

• Your hands reveal a lot about the state of your health.
• This is something that has been recognised since at least the time of Hippocrates – the father of modern medicine.
• The ancient Greek physician first described “clubbing” in a patient with empyema (where pus fills the space between the lungs and the membrane around it) in the fifth century BC.
• Clubbing is where the nail looks like an upside-down spoon, and it is still recognised as a sign of disease.

Palms

• If you find your palms are becoming sweaty in the absence of nervousness, hot temperatures or exercise, it could be down to faulty nerve signals causing the sweat glands to become active.
• But unexplained sweaty palms – and face, neck and armpits – can be a sign of thyroid problems.
• Excess of this hormone causes bodily processes to speed up and can be the cause of sweaty palms.
• A more concerning palm change is the appearance of small areas of red or purple discolouration on the palms of the hands and fingers.

Pins and needles

• If you experience pins and needles in your hand that you can’t shake off, it might be a sign that you have carpal tunnel syndrome.
• Pins and needles in the hand can also be a sign of diabetes.
• Everyone experiences pins and needles at some point, but if you get it a lot or it lasts a long time, you should see your doctor.

Finger length

• The length of the index versus ring finger varies in men and women.
• In women, they are fairly equal in length, but in men, the ring finger is typically longer than the index finger.

• The research, which was recently published in the journal Antioxidants and shared by The Peanut Institute , discusses a preventive medicine approach for younger generations.
• The six-month study conducted by the University of Barcelona involved 63 healthy young adults ages 18-33 who included a single serving of peanuts or peanut butter in their regular, daily diet.
• "There's an urgent need to focus cardiovascular disease education and prevention efforts on young adults," says Dr. Sterling.
• "Urinary Phenolic Metabolites Associated with Peanut Consumption May Have a Beneficial Impact on Vascular Health Biomarkers ".
