“To date, the results from the additional testing facilitated by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) and completed by the Michigan State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (MSU VDL) have revealed the illness impacting dogs in Michigan’s northern Lower Peninsula to be canine parvovirus. The affected dogs did not have a history of complete vaccination,” the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development said in a statement on Wednesday....

The reason for the politics-or-policy muddle may be that Cuba occupies an odd place in the American mind. From Teddy Roosevelt to Jimmy Buffett, with contributions from Ernest Hemingway, Meyer Lansky and the U.S. officers who first mixed rum and Coke to form a cuba libre, Americans have spent nearly a century confused about whether Cuba is really a foreign country at all. But it is, and over the years America’s proprietary attitude has bred resentment....

There was an error. Please try again. Hopkins concedes many people with anosmia probably just have typical rhinovirus and coronavirus strains—in other words, the common cold. Regardless, asking everyone who has lost their sense of smell to self-isolate would be one more important way to stop COVID-19 transmission. With that in mind, self-isolation is a good place to start if you’ve lost your sense of smell, rather than heading to the doctor’s office....

The concept of birth control failure rates may sound complicated, but in fact, it’s based on simple and straightforward math. Once you understand how birth control failure rates are determined and what they mean, you’ll be able to use them to make an informed decision about the best contraceptive method for you. How Birth Control Failure Rates Are Determined The birth control failure rate is the frequency with which a particular birth control rate fails (for this purpose, failure means that pregnancy is not prevented by the method)....

A correct diagnosis is essential to delivering timely and effective treatment of endometriosis. This typically involves a review of your symptoms, a physical exam, and a combination of lab and imaging tests to identify the lesions and adhesions characteristic of the disease. Your condition would then be staged (categorized by severity) to direct the appropriate course of treatment. Although the symptoms of endometriosis (pain and bleeding, among others) can be striking and severe, diagnosing the disease can often be challenging....

John Stones’ harum-scarum goalline clearance when City beat the Reds 2-1 in January 2019 serves as the enduring image when it comes to demonstrating how these games exist on a perpetual knife edge, but it is far from the only example. Pep Guardiola’s side won the league that season by a single point. Last time around, Liverpool took matters to the final day once more, with City again prevailing in a dramatic finale....

But TNT doesn’t have Kobe Bryant. Or Paul Pierce. Or Kevin Garnett. Or even Gregg Popovich. And that puts ESPN in prime position to finally make a real run at “Inside the NBA” for the title of best studio show in sports.

The top-rated news network, Fox News Channel, stuck with its own lineup of commentators. Sean Hannity denounced the “show trial” elsewhere on TV just as he was featured in it, with the House’s January 6 committee examining his tweets to Trump administration figures. Hannity aired a soundless snippet of committee members entering the hearing room as part of a lengthy monologue condemning the proceedings. That was all Fox News Channel viewers saw of the hearing....

For her, it’s always been a difficult search. In her enemies’ eyes, all the “"-gates’’ of scandal lead to her. To them she is Haldeman, Erhlichman and Mitchell rolled into one – and Republicans hope she may one day have the court dates to prove it. To her admirers, she is Margaret Mead, Eleanor Roosevelt and Joan of Arc rolled into one – and she already has the scars of political martyrdom to prove it....

The two primary types of treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma include chemotherapy (medications that treat cancer) and radiation therapy. In many instances, both chemotherapy and radiation are used. Other, less common forms of treatment include immunotherapy and stem cell transplant (often used when chemotherapy and radiation therapy are ineffective). Surgery is rarely recommended to treat Hodgkin lymphoma, except when doing a biopsy (taking a small amount of tissue to test to find out if it’s cancerous) and when staging (surgical removal of one or more lymph nodes to discover if the lymphoma is confined to one area, or if it has spread)....

Since the root cause of hypogonadism is an insufficient supply of androgens (especially testosterone) in males and estrogen in women, therapies to restore these levels are the gold-standard approach to the issue. In addition, since some cases of this condition occur due to tumors of the pituitary gland (as opposed to the ovaries in women and testes in men, respectively), surgery also helps restore levels. However, tumors on the pituitary gland (also known as prolactinomas) are often treated with medication alone....

In reality, not all thermometers are the same and taking temperatures in different parts of the body will produce different values. Why Diagnosis Is Important Most people don’t really think of mild hypothermia as being a medical condition that needs a diagnosis. Typically, we think of it as simply feeling too cold, in which case we take steps to avoid the discomfort associated with it—we go inside and turn up the heat, or put on a sweater and get a hot cup of cocoa....

“That doesn’t come up very often, I’m not going to lie to you,” Taylor told reporters on Sunday. “That’s one you’re just adjusting on the fly there.” It’s a rare injury to have, and on a day where No. 2 wide receiver Tee Higgins sustained a concussion that forced him out for all of the second half, there was no bigger injury than the one to long-snapper Clark Harris. After the Bengals scored what looked like a game-tying touchdown in the final seconds of the game, the snap on the point-after try from backup long-snapper and third-string tight end Mitchell Wilcox, was slow, allowing Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick to rush through the line and block it to force overtime....

The specific treatments used ultimately depends on the judgment of the individual seeking medical care. Each person has different comfort levels with each treatment. It’s recommended to research each method and speak with your healthcare provider to find the best options for you. Home Remedies and Lifestyle While there is little scientific evidence proving the effectiveness of herbal remedies in alleviating the symptoms of PMDD, they are an option some choose....

Given those legendary quarterbacks of the Patriots and 49ers have won a combined 10 Super Bowls as starters, Garoppolo, with his two rings as a backup to Brady, has a long way to go to be mentioned in their elite championship company. But in terms of the personality, mindset and looks to be Super successful, Garoppolo’s makeup is the ideal mashup of the GOAT QBs. Garoppolo was smooth as a quarterback can be facing the throng of Super Bowl media all week, answering every question well, often with a laugh and a disarming smile....

The Spurs have an established culture, built around Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker. The trio had led San Antonio to three titles before Leonard arrived in 2011. And for rookies simply looking to make it, to find a role in the NBA, landing on the Spurs is a dream scenario. Coach Gregg Popovich repeatedly has developed young talents into stellar role players who have played key roles on great teams....

He’s a good quarterback, but few will anoint him as being great. In his first four years as a full-time starter, Cousins finished each season within one game of a .500 record. He’s one of two active quarterbacks with multiple ties in his career. The other is Andy Dalton. He’s been to the Pro Bowl twice and, believe it or not, has the second-highest career completion percentage in NFL history....
