Understanding the Mechanisms Behind a Nuclear Stress Test
DEAR DR. ROACH: I had a comment about your recent column on nuclear stress tests. As an 87-year-old person who has experienced atrial fibrillation and a mild stroke, I have had two nuclear stress tests done. In both cases, I told the supervising nurse I wanted to go to the max limits that they would allow. Even though I attempted to prepare by briskly walking up the hill close to my home and thought I was doing well on the treadmill, I failed to reach the final parameters that they were seeking.
To get me there, I was injected with something (the name escapes me) that is supposed to achieve the same result as the final stage of a nuclear stress test. As I recall the discussion, the nurse stated that many couldn’t get as far as I did. Medications were a way for them to obtain the needed results. -- J.M.
Q. A.
ANSWER: Stress testing may be done for several reasons, but the most common is to determine whether there are blockages in the arteries in the heart that are severe enough to limit blood flow. When ordering a stress test, the clinician has to decide how to stress the heart and get information from it.
In people who can exercise (meaning they don’t have an orthopedic or neurological condition that keeps them from being able to move), then using exercise is the best approach in almost all cases. Exercise is safer since you can stop doing it at any time, and it also provides useful information. People who can exercise for a longer time (9 minutes on a standard protocol called a Bruce) have a very good prognosis; whereas if you can’t make it to 3 minutes, this is a poor prognosis.
The treadmill gets steeper and faster every 3 minutes on a Bruce protocol so that eventually even an Olympic athlete has to give up. The goal is to get to maximum exercise where a person simply can’t go any further. The person who runs the stress test looks for any sign of incipient heart damage through an electrocardiogram (EKG), a blood pressure monitor, or symptoms so that the test can be stopped if it seems dangerous.
Despite trying really hard, some people cannot get their heart rate and blood pressure high enough where the stress test can diagnose heart disease. In this case, the exercise stress test is converted to a pharmacologic stress test. A medication, such as dobutamine, is given to make the heart beat faster and stronger until the adequate workload is achieved.
Many of my patients tell me that this is uncomfortable, and more than once, I have heard someone say, “My heart was going to jump out of my chest.” If there are signs of danger, the medication can be stopped, and in some cases, a reversal agent is given.
Once the heart is at an adequate level of exertion,abnormalities in the blood flow can be detected by the EKG. However, the test’s sensitivity can be improved by looking at blood flow through a radioactive chemical injected in the blood, which can measure blood flow to various regions of the heart more precisely. The sensitivity can also be improved by examining the heart’s wall movement through echocardiography. In other cases, a more limited stress test is done to determine the safety of exercise. This is often done after a heart attack to determine which exercises a person can do as part of their cardiac rehab.
Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. (c) 2025 King Features Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

BENEFITS OF WORKING WITH ANIMAL TRAINERS
Trainers train owners as well. Trainers won’t just work with pets, but also with pet owners. Obedience trainers will work with pets to teach them how to behave while also teaching owners various ways to positively reinforce the animals. This is a great way for owners to get hands-on experience and learn proper obedience training techniques, which are not always as easy to learn as owners may think.
COMMON CONDITIONS THAT CAN AFFECT DOGS
Ear infections: Dogs that scratch at their ears, continually shake their heads or have an odor in the ear might have ear infections. In such instances, vets will clean, drain and medicate the ear canals.
Send us a photo! and a brief write-up of your pet and we’ll feature it!

Cold weather can be deadly for outdoor cats
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I care for a rescued barn cat who refuses to come indoors -- she will come onto the porch for food and water, and let me pet her, but that’s about it. I was able to get “Gertie” spayed a few years back, so that’s no longer a problem. However, I worry about her in the cold weather. What do you recommend to keep outdoor cats from suffering in freezing temperatures? -- Caroline in Roanoke, Virginia
DEAR CAROLINE: Shelter is important during the coldest months of the year, and even if an outdoor cat has survived OK in past winters, that can change -- especially as they get older.
Food, water and shelter are the three biggest things you can provide to help an outdoor cat survive and remain healthy during the winter. Place fresh water in a container that won’t freeze easily, such as a thick-walled dish.
The Humane Society of the United States recommends building (or purchasing) an outdoor cat shelter that is appropriatefortheirsize--nottoosnug,butnotsolargethat it can’t hold in the cat’s body heat (www.humanesociety. org/resources/how-care-outdoor-cats-winter).
You can line the inside of the shelter with Mylar sheets that reflect body heat even better. For bedding, an old pillowcase filled with packing peanuts or crumpled newspaper is helpful, or you can use straw. Place the shelter near where you’ve observed the cat resting, or try placing it on the porch next to her food and water. (Don’t put water inside the shelter in case it spills.)
Remove and replace bedding every couple of weeks to keep things fresh and help maintain warmth. Send your tips, comments or questions to ask@pawscorner.com. (c) 2025 King Features Synd., Inc.

MAKE CUT FLOWERS LAST LONGER
What would Valentine’s Day be without a beautiful bouquet of flowers? In addition to chocolate, cards and dining out, flowers - particularly rosesare among the most popular gifts. According to a survey by the National Retail Federation, 58 percent of American men and 16 percent of American women were projected to buy flowers for Valentine’s Day 2016, spending a total of $1.9 billion. Similar spending is predicted for in 2017.
Flowers of all shapes, sizes, colors, and aromas can make popular gifts this February. Prolonging the life of beautiful blooms is a priority for those who want their Valentine’s Day arrangements to endure for as long as possible. Keeping Valentine’s Day flowers looking fresh and vibrant takes a few steps. By being diligent, that floral arrangement can last for several days.

THE FIRST WOMAN MD: ElizabethBlackwell’sLegacy
BY SUZIE WELLS
January 23rd marked a milestone in both female medical history and the history of upstate/western New York: Elizabeth Blackwell became the first woman in the United States to receive an MD, graduating from Geneva Medical College in 1849.
Blackwell was not the first woman to practice medicine in America (records show that as Harriot Kesia Hunt, according to Eric v.d. Lu of SUNY Upstate Medical University), but she was the first woman in the world to earn a regular MD from an accredited medical school, fulfilling all standardized requirements of a full course of study.
Born in Bristol, England, on February 3, 1821, Blackwell was the third of nine children of Hannah Lane and Samuel Blackwell, a sugar refiner. e Blackwell family was known for their spirit of reform, dissent, and progressive political thinking, advocating for free, equal education for men and women.
A er Samuel Blackwell’s business collapsed in 1832, the family emigrated to America. Samuel passed away a few years later, leaving the family “penniless during a national financial crisis,” as Dr. Debra Michals of the National Women’s History Museum explains. To support themselves, Elizabeth, her mother, and her two older sisters worked as teachers. However, Elizabeth was inspired to pursue medicine when a dying friend expressed the wish for treatment by a female physician.
“Itisthroughthemoral,guiding theintellectual,thatthebeneficial influenceofwomeninanynew sphereofactivitywillbefelt.”
ELIZABETH BLACKWELL
While teaching, Blackwell studied medicine privately under Dr. Samuel Dickson in Charleston, SC, and Dr. Joseph Warrington in Pennsylvania. Encouraged by her circle of Philadelphia friends— mainly Quaker liberals, abolitionists, and reformers—she applied to medical schools. A er 29 rejections, according to Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Blackwell was finally admitted to Geneva Medical College in 1847.
During her 15 months at Geneva, Blackwell faced immense prejudice. Many peers, faculty, and community members ignored her, excluded her from lectures or labs, or regarded her as “a lewd woman or insane or both, and in any event someone sure to be a bad influence on children.” Despite this hostility, she excelled academically and graduated at the top of her class.

Ironically, Blackwell’s success provoked such outrage within the male-dominated medical community that Geneva Medical College closed its doors to women immediately a er her graduation and it was over a decade before any other women were permitted to study there or many other colleges. ough she had proven her capabilities, detractors insisted she was an exception, unrepresentative of other women’s potential. is fueled broader debates about women’s temperament and intellectual capacity in the medical field.
Undeterred, Blackwell continued her medical education in Paris, where she was o en relegated to roles in midwifery and pediatrics despite goals to become a surgeon. While working at La Maternité, she contracted purulent ophthalmia from a pediatric patient, resulting in blindness in her le eye and ending her surgical ambitions.

Society, and held the Chair of Gynecology at the London School of Medicine for Women (1875 until her retirement in 1907 at age 86). She passed away at her home in Hastings and is buried in Kilmun, Scotland, a favorite retreat she shared with her adopted daughter, Kitty.
Blackwell pursued further studies in London, becoming the first female doctor recognized in Great Britain. As Dr. Howard Markel writes for PBS, Blackwell was “ironically permitted to practice all the branches of medicine save gynecology and pediatrics.” Networking with prominent European women in medicine, including Florence Nightingale, she grew increasingly invested in social causes, particularly those involving women’s political and educational rights.
Returning to the U.S., Blackwell faced continued discrimination, struggling to find opportunities in hospitals or private practice. Nevertheless, in 1857, she co-founded e New York Infirmary for Women and Children with Dr. Marie Elizabeth Zakrzewska as chief resident and her sister, Dr. Emily Blackwell as chief of surgery. e infirmary provided medical care to underserved populations and offered pioneering programs in medical social work and nurse training.
During the American Civil War, Blackwell and Nightingale organized relief efforts, promoted sanitary services, and trained nurses. In the 1870s, Blackwell established a successful private practice in England, helped found the British National Health

Blackwell was a prolific author known for her advocacy of women’s roles in medicine. Her autobiography, Pioneer Work in Opening the Medical Profession to Women, was hailed as a “masterpiece.” In 1889, she wrote that the duty of medical women was not to imitate men but to “define more clearly what is morally right and wrong in medicine.” She believed women’s entry into the profession made it more ethical and responsive to diverse human needs, stating, “It is through the moral, guiding the intellectual, that the beneficial influence of women in any new sphere of activity will be felt.”
Historians suggest that Blackwell’s persistence stemmed from her “sheer optimism, her unshakable belief that everything would turn out all right in the end,” as Lu observed. Inspired by professional women across Europe and America, Blackwell remained steadfast in her goals despite formidable challenges.
Best remembered as the first American woman to earn an MD, Elizabeth Blackwell tirelessly championed equality within the medical profession. While the journey toward full equity continues, her story remains a beacon of hope and progress.

It looks like we’re in for a long winter, with extremely cold temperatures in several places. Many of us are already realizing that we just don’t want to go out in that. But what shall we do to occupy ourselves while we’re at home?
I don’t know how it started, but in my neighborhood this winter the favorite activity has become ... painting. Each day new photos of “works of art” are sent around via cellphones as the idea spreads.
I decided to join in. Between the internet and home deliveries, we have access to everything we need without going out!
My first step was to do a YouTube search for painting lessons. Right at the top was “Beginner’s Guide to Painting,” and I was off and running.
On YouTube it’s possible to narrow down the search results to the subjects you’re most interested in learning to paint, whether it’s sunsets, flowers, mountains, snow scenes, cats, dogs, lakes, vintage cars, beaches -- if it can be painted, there’s a tutorial for it. The topics can be further broken down by watercolor and acrylic painting.
There are even videos that outline what supplies you need.
Some suggestions, if you’d
like to paint:
Unless you have a store near you that will ship or deliver supplies to you, look online for the big names such as Michaels, Joann and Hobby Lobby as places to start.
You need paint and water, and something to paint on, such as paper or canvas panels, plus a selection of brushes. Add in a small plastic palette for mixing colors.
Look for beginner kits that have a selection of a dozen or so small tubes of acrylic paint colors or a dozen watercolors in a metal tray.
If you fear you have no real talent for painting, I invite you to explore Acrylic Squeegee Painting on YouTube. That technique can make anyone an artist!

When working at home, make sure to use tools in the manner in which they were designed. Keep power cords tidy so they do not pose a tripping hazard. Falls from ladders often occur when climbing above the recommended rung or engaging in risky behavior while on the ladder, such as reaching or hanging over too far.
When outdoors, exercise caution in inclement weather, which can make it harder to work safely. Be sure there are no bystanders too close when using power tools or tools that can kick up debris.
FINDING THE RIGHT FENCING
Bamboo is a less traditional fencing option that may appeal to homeowners who want to do something that’s both different and eco-friendly. Bamboo grows naturally, which should appeal to homeowners who want their homes to have as little negative impact on the environment as possible. Bamboo provides ample privacy and comes in various styles. Homeowners should consult with a fencing specialist before choosing a style so they can be certain they choose the most climate-appropriate option.
Reliable Septic Service
Viola Davis Desmond: Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1914, Viola Davis Desmond took a stand for African Canadians in 1946 when she refused to sit in the balcony at the Roseland Theatre in New Glasgow, a section designated for Blacks. Desmond was forcibly removed and arrested and ultimately fined and sentenced to 30 days in jail. She took her case all the way to the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia, which upheld the verdict. Desmond passed away in 1965, but in 2010 the province of Nova Scotia issued an official apology and pardoned her.

DearAmazingPerson
Thank you, thank you, thank you to the wonderful person who found and turned in my anniversay ring at the Geneseo Walmart on February 1st. I was absolutely heartsick when I realized it was missing. You are a wonderful, amazing and honest person and have proven to me that there are still great people in this world!
You are an angel in my eyes!
On Friday, a couple of weeks ago, I came out of Tops in Dansville and my car wouldn’t start. Tried a couple of times and due to the radio and heat being on and because it was about 11 degrees out it just wouldn’t! A young lady knocked on my window and asked if I needed help. I said my car won’t start, and she said give me 10 minutes, I’ll go home and get my jumper cables. She drove away in a fairly new Ford pickup and sure enough she came back. By that time my car recouped enough power to start. I ran over to tell her it started and thanked her. I can’t tell you how much that meant to an older person that this young person would be so kind! I didn’t get her name but I certainly would know her if I saw her again! Thank you!

A-Salted
While I do appreciate having safe roads to drive on during snowy winter weather, I am dismayed at the amount of salt that coats the roads in our village and town. Not only is it terrible for the environment, it is a waste of taxpayer money, not just for the salt but with the price of fuel.
Plows are out on roads that are clear of snow at all hours of the day and night (can you say overtime?). I passed 6 plows on a 15 minute drive to a nearby town last night. Highway departments, please show some restraint and implement sensible salting and plowing policies!
TurntheLightsOn
A [Local Pharmacy Location] has had their outside lights and light poles out for months and it isn't safe. Turned around the corner to leave the building by the dumpster and a man walked out in the dark. I have written a letter, wrote their corp. office and nothing. They keep saying they have put in a ticket. www.featuredmedia.com

GET A HANDLE ON WORK-RELATED STRESS
Speak up about your stress. As noted, stress at the workplace can affect workers’ performance, which employers are looking to optimize. Workers can speak to their employers if they feel their work environments are conducive to stress. Work in tandem with an employer to develop time-saving strategies that make it easier to get work done on time. Supervisors may encourage employees to delegate more often, freeing up time to get their work done. Employers may also direct employees to wellness resources that can help them more effectively combat stress. The outcomes of such discussions may never be known if workers never take the initiative and speak up about their stress.
