Advancement in Flea and Tick Products is Helping Pet Owners to prevent their Pets from Allergic Reactions

 


 

Ticks and fleas are one of the most common problems with pet animals, especially dogs. The soft, warm fur of dogs and cat is the perfect environment for fleas and ticks. These insects feed on the pet’s blood and can cause major health problems including allergic reactions and tick-borne illnesses. Flea and tick products are applied between the pet’s shoulders that kill fleas and ticks as well as repel them. There are two ways that these medications are administered namely oral treatments and topical treatments.

Oral treatment refers to the administration of medications via pills or chewable that are ingested by the pet rather than applied to its body. There are different active chemicals used in different flea and tick pill medications with some of them lasting from a few days to a month. Some of the common active chemicals include lufenuron, spinosad, and nitepyram. The lufenuron does not kill adult fleas, instead, it destroys any larvae produced by these fleas. These drugs are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Furthermore, the topical treatment also referred to as spot-on medications, is applied between the pet’s shoulders. These products usually last for a month and pets cannot lick it off. Some topical flea and tick products are designed to kill as well as repel ticks and fleas.

In the recent past, there have been complaints from pet owners regarding these products saying these medications don’t work. However, veterinarians have advised using these products as advised. Key players in the U.S., Italy, and the U.K. are focused on developing novel flea and tick products so as to help pet owners. These new products are available in different forms including shampoo and spray for cats and dogs that can meet the best needs of customers.

Increasing Initiatives to Digitalize the Healthcare Sector Is Expected To Boost Demand for Electronic Medical Records

  An electronic medical record (EMR) is essentially a systematized collation of individual patient and family health information in an electronic format. This information is then shared across several health care locations. This will save time, money and provide patients with more comprehensive care. Increasing initiatives to digitalize the healthcare sector is expected to boost demand for EMR. For instance, in November 2019, Germany introduced Digital Supply Act to digitalize healthcare. Under the new legislation, doctors will be able to prescribe digital health apps to patients, which can be reimbursed by the country’s statutory health insurance. There are several advantages to using EMR. The main advantage is that you do not need to wait for the paper records to go through the paper processing before you can use them. Another advantage to electronic medical records is that they allow for greater privacy. Electronic health records allow only the doctor to see these...

Ureteroscopes are highly preferred option over traditional ureteroscopy

Image
  Ureteroscopes are instruments that have been designed to allow doctors (including surgeons) to look inside the reproductive organs. This is done by passing a thin, lightweight tube through the cervix and up to the vagina. Once there, the tube makes a turn inside the uterus and exits via the fallopian tubes. The purpose of this excursion is to look for problems in the uterus or ovaries, which can cause infertility or hormonal imbalance in women. They are able to find many problems that other instruments might miss. One of the most common uses for such device is when doctors make the very first ultrasound images of pregnancy. The Ureteroscope is able to detect whether or not the fetus is progressing normally through the maternal birth canal and is able to help determine the health of the mother's uterus. Doctors also use these devices when they make the first "cavity" ultrasound images of a woman's abdominal cavity, looking for problems that could be c...
