NEW YORK Two makers of pet treats are pulling products from the market because they may contain traces of poultry antibiotics that aren't approved in the U.S. Nestle Purina PetCare is taking Waggin' Train and Canyon Creek Ranch brand dog treats off the market, while Milo's Kitchen is recalling its Chicken Jerky and Chicken Grillers home-style dog treats. The chicken jerky products, which are made in China, may contain minute amounts of antibiotic residue, the companies said Wednesday. The antibiotics have been approved by Chinese and European Union regulators, but they are not approved in the U.S. The companies said the treats don't pose a safety risk to pets, but they are still pulling them off the market. The recall doesn't cover other products the companies sell.

Beauty junkies, check your cosmetics: Using beauty products that contain phthalates might be putting you at risk for early-onset menopause, according to a new study from researchers at Washington University in St. Louis. Researchers examined National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data and determined that women with the highest level of phthalates in their systems reported experiencing menopause 2. 3 years earlier. “Phthalates can disrupt your hormonal makeup,” says Dr. Laura Corio, an obstetrician at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City.   Once in your system, phthalates can mimic and chemically change hormones in your body. For example, when phthalates mimic estrogen (which helps regularize your period), it confuses your body and results in a lack of real estrogen. This can cause irregular periods—one of the first signs of menopause, Corio says. (Phthalates aren’t the only chemical to blame.

Joe Bongioni makes sure he is covered with indoor tanning lotion, before stepping into a tanning booth in New York on March 24, 2010. By Bridget Huber, FairWarningA new campaign by the tanning industry to promote the safety of sunbed use has come under fierce attack from the American Academy of Dermatology, which is accusing the industry of making claims that are “ridiculous” and unsupported by scientific evidence. In the latest exchange between the two sides, the dermatologists blasted the newly formed American Suntanning Association for disputing the medical consensus that tanning indoors increases the risk of skin cancers, including melanoma, the deadliest kind.

Are you undermining your workout? Fitness experts weigh in on common exercise infractions—and how to correct them easily. 1. You Need to Switch Up Your Workouts “After doing the same cardio or strength routine three to six times, your body adapts and you burn fewer calories,” says Michael Sokol, the owner of One-on-One Fitness Personal Training Services, in Chicago and Scottsdale, Ariz.   Eventually your results—weight loss, muscle definition—will slow down. Also, repeatedly placing stress on the same muscles and joints could lead to an overuse injury. Action plan: Once a month, change one thing about your cardio and weight-training regimens: Take a Zumba class in lieu of your Saturday walk, for instance, or use a resistance band instead of dumbbells. Bonus: Mixing things up may help you stick with exercise.

Sick babies carried down 9 flights during evacuation | Reduction

Sick babies carried down 9 flights during evacuation

A perfect storm...

Excerpt:

(CNN) -- At times with only flashlights to illuminate the way, NYU Langone Medical Center was evacuating some 260 patients, carrying some of them down 15 flights of stairs to awaiting ambulances ready to take them to the safety of other hospitals. NYU didn't anticipate such heavy flooding from Sandy, the superstorm that hit Monday, and chose not to evacuate all its patients before the storm, as they did with Hurricane Irene a year ago. But between 7 and 7:45 p.m. Monday, the hospital's basement, lower floors, and elevator shafts filled with 10 to 12 feet of water, and the hospital lost its power, according to Dr. Andrew Brotman, senior vice president and vice dean for clinical affairs and strategy. "Things went downhill very, very rapidly and very unexpectedly," he said.

Among all the saves accomplished during the chaos triggered by Sandy the most delicate was the goal to conserve embryos in rows of incubators that were in jeopardy when the NYU Fertility Clinic lost its power. The Manhattan clinic died shortly after Sandy struck Monday night. An electrical generator set down atop the 8-story structure kept incubators wiping out the night, however flooding in the basement cut off its fuel supply. "The generator ran out of gas around 8:15 Tuesday morning," said Dr. James Grifo, the clinic 's supervisor. Without power, rows of incubators real estate delicate embryos at womb-temperature for in vitro fertilization began to cool. However Grifo and his group took action, hoisting five-gallon cans of diesel fuel up darkened stairwells to feed the failing electrical generator. "It was really a privilege to be part of that," Grifo said of his personnel 's "heroic" efforts.
