Dorothy L. Tengler Medical & Allied HealthcareIn the U.S. alone, more than 1 million people are living with Type 1 diabetes, and approximately 80 people per day, or 30,000 per year, are newly diagnosed. Despite continual improvements in insulin, insulin delivery methods, and home glucose monitoring methods, most people with Type 1 diabetes do not achieve recommended levels of glycemic control.

Ethology and veterinary practice: Multipurpose puppy behavioral packaging
Dr. Myrna Milani Pet CareWhen animal lovers even think about puppies, most can feel themselves getting softer. For some that may mean smiling. For others, the thought may elicit memories of puppies past or present with whom they shared their lives or encountered over the years.

Ethology and veterinary practice: Those confounding variables!
Dr. Myrna Milani Pet CareIf you read a lot of animal behavioral studies, you quickly discover that researchers and veterinary practitioners live in two different worlds. Researchers have the luxury of eliminating or ignoring all but a single variable. They also can limit their study to a small population of carefully selected animals. Study environments may include laboratory settings that involve only those elements essential to the study. When studies are conducted on animals living in human households, all the variables in that household are disregarded except those the researcher deems important.

Ethology and veterinary practice: Ethology of feline play
Dr. Myrna Milani Pet CareThe play that occurs in cats with behavioral problems may differ from that which occurs in dogs. However, determining exactly how it differs can be challenging thanks to differences in canine and feline behavioral evolution as well as in the evolution of the human-canine and human-feline bonds. Although all veterinary practitioners and a significant number of cat owners recognize the hazards of medically treating cats like little dogs, comparable awareness regarding differences in species behavior may vary from person to person.
