There are places we think of as clean and places we think of as less hygienic.

Adella Thompson, an experienced horse trainer and enthusiast, has no doubt which category her favorite place is in.

“I work in a barn,” Thompson said. “There’s a lot of manure and urine. There are horses everywhere. There are dogs everywhere. It’s a setting where you’re constantly cleaning out stalls, cleaning and grooming horses, feeding horses, watering horses, using buckets over and over again, and then caring for their medical needs.”

While pet owners are used to tricking their pooch or kitten into hopping in the car for a trip to the vet, a horse requires a vet to make house calls. That’s why Thompson, and many other horse-lovers, have learned so many tricks and tips on how to care for horses and take care of the smaller nicks and cuts suffered rather than constantly having a vet come to the stable.

Not long ago, Thompson noticed one of her horses suffered an injury at a show that required some attention. Fortunately, she had been turning to Ionogen products for some time and knew of a quick fix.

“She had a cut over her left eye. It didn’t require stitches, but it was deep, and it was bleeding. I immediately sprayed it with Ionopure Pet Health, and I watched the cut heal itself on its own,” she said.

John Shanahan, President and CEO of Ionogen, was pleased to hear of the product’s uses in the equine community, even if it wasn’t a use case he initially had in mind.

“We created Ionopure Pet Health because there was a gap for household pets in having products that could really be effective on things like hotspots, cuts and abrasions, and even rinsing the eyes and things like that,” he said. “There were other products that kind of existed in the space, but, in our opinion, they were too underpowered, they were too weak, and they didn’t actually perform and weren’t remaining stable enough for a long period of time.”

Ionopure Pet Health turned out not only to keep stable, but also to be effective in the stable, with its use in equine settings likely to continue for years to come.

Why young children die from local anesthetic overdoses in dental offices

Why young children die from local anesthetic overdoses in dental offices

Dentist anesthesiologists Stanley Malamed and Jason Brady told HealthFirst's Health First Talks podcast that fatal local anesthetic overdoses in young dental patients follow a chain of small errors: one-visit treatment plans, plain 3% mepivacaine, four quadrants injected at once and adult cartridges. Oral Health Group estimates LAST at 0.27 cases per 1,000 administrations. Brady caps his anesthetic tray at 90% of the maximum recommended dose.

  • 01Plain 3% mepivacaine is a sound one-quadrant drug for a child; beyond one quadrant, Malamed says epinephrine must be in the cartridge because it holds the drug in the nerve and keeps blood levels down.
  • 02Oral Health Group estimates LAST at about 0.27 cases per 1,000 local anesthetic administrations and reports cardiac signs come before any nervous system warning in about 20% of atypical cases.
  • 03Brady preps a tray holding 90% of the patient's calculated maximum recommended dose so a distracted operator cannot reach past it mid-case.

Suki raises $90M to take its AI scribe beyond note-taking

Suki raises $90M to take its AI scribe beyond note-taking

The funding backs a bet that scribes become clinicians' main AI interface, which changes how health systems evaluate them.

  • 01An ambient scribe already holds the patient context from the visit, and in early testing that context drove clinicians to prefer context-aware UpToDate answers 83% of the time.
  • 02Once a scribe starts answering clinical questions, note accuracy stops being enough to judge it. Regenstrief and Suki are building a framework that could add standardized metrics for answers too.
