by Janet Spencer August is National Water Month, so let’s have a drink! IT’S A FACT • Water will stay 9 days in the atmosphere; 2 weeks in rivers; 10 years in the largest lakes; 3,000 years in the ocean; up to 10,000 years in deep groundwater; and 10,000 years in the polar icecap. • Water on Earth acts like water in a pan: turn the stove burner on under a pan that’s dry, and the pan will scorch and melt. Turn the burner on under a pan of water, and the water absorbs the heat and keeps the pan in good condition. Without water, our planet would be a scorching desert, unable to regulate the heat of the sun. • There is a total of 369 quintillion gallons of water on Earth. If all the water were split evenly among the residents of the Earth, we would each have about 85 billion gallons. • The amount of water on Earth has not changed since the beginning of time. It covers 3/4 of our planet. It’s the only material that passes through the three stages of liquid, solid, and gas within a range of temperatures that can sustain human life. It is also the only substance that becomes less dense when it freezes. Otherwise, there would be no life on Earth, because the oceans would freeze from the bottom up. (turn the page for more!)

Tidbits® of Sheridan and Johnson Counties Tidbits Presents the
HEALTH PAGE TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH By Keith Roach, M.D.
Leg Swelling Linked to Vascular Surgery --DEAR DR. ROACH: My husband had his aorta replaced in 2012 and has trouble with sink-in marks on his legs at the bottom. It doesn’t matter how much I pay for a pair of his socks, or how loose they fit, his legs still get the marks. He is 79 and has no other health problems. Would you have any idea what could be causing this? His heart doctor thought it was his blood pressure medicine, and at that time, he was taking 10 mg of amlodipine in the morning. He now takes lisinopril for his blood pressure and levothyroxine for his thyroid. -- R.M.M. ANSWER: When you can see the imprint of the socks, it means that there is some swelling (edema) in the loose tissues of the legs. Although leg edema can result from serious problems with the heart, kidneys or liver, or even from blood clots, it is far more likely that it is not any of these serious conditions. After a major vascular surgery, it is common to have a bit of swelling in the legs. In fact, most people nearing their 80s have some degree of swelling, usually from imperfect valves in the veins or lymphatic vessels that don’t work as well as they did 50 years earlier. Amlodipine (Norvasc) and medicines like it often cause a degree of swelling that is not dangerous. A careful physical exam and a few blood and urine tests are all that’s necessary to be sure that the leg swelling isn’t being caused by a potentially dangerous condition. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 77-year-old male who, in mid-February, was diagnosed with late-stage liver cancer. I started chemo in early March. The doctors advised limiting sugar, so I started reading labels. Sugar is in everything! It is almost impossible to avoid it. It’s even in the supplemental nutrition products that I am encouraged to drink. My question is whether there is a recommended daily allowance of sugar for cancer patients. -- L.V. ANSWER: I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis. It is next to impossible to avoid all sugar, but you don’t need to avoid all sugar. In fact, eating a little sugar may be more important in people with liver disease, since it is the normally functioning liver that’s necessary to make sugar when we need it. I would recommend sticking around the World Health Organization and American Heart Association guidelines of 25-40 grams of sugar daily. That’s much less than most people take in. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I am in my early 80s and have some chronic kidney disease. I usually have one or two beers a day and one or two glasses of wine every two weeks or so. Is this safe with my kidney disease? -- K.D. ANSWER: I would recommend one rather than two beers on a daily basis, and again no more than one glass of wine. Moderation is the key. Too much alcohol can raise your blood pressure, may interfere with medication and, in excess doses, damage your kidneys. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

WATER (cont’d) • Water dissolves more chemicals than any other substance, including sulfuric acid. This is a leading factor in pollution, because water dissolves and carries contaminants. • The average faucet flows at a rate of 2 gallons (7.5 l) per minute. At 1 drip per second, a faucet can leak 3,000 gallons (11,000 l) per year. • There are approximately one million miles (1.6 million km) of water pipeline and aqueducts in the U.S. and Canada, enough to circle Earth 40 times. • If you poured all of the water of all of the Earth’s oceans into a huge baggie, it would be one-third the size of the moon. • If all the water in the oceans was spread evenly over the surface of the Earth, it would be 6,000 feet (1,828 m) deep everywhere. • If all the groundwater in the world were pumped to the surface, it would cover the Earth to a depth of 100 feet (30 m). • If all the water in the atmosphere fell at once as rain, the Earth would be submerged to a depth of only one inch (2.5 cm). • There is 30 times more water underground than in all the world’s rivers and lakes. BODY BITS • 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water, and about 65% of the human body is water. • Blood is exactly the same salinity as the ocean. 14 • Blood is 92% water, and bones Sheridan Good Health Emporium are 31% water. Tooth enamel, the Leather Outfitters hardest substance in the human • body, is only 2% water. • The human brain weighs about 3 lbs. (1.4 kg), but if all the water Werco Ave. were squeezed out of it, it would weigh only 10 oz (283 grams). • • Baby’s bodies contain a higher Firestone Complete percent of water than grown-ups.

DOWN THE DRAIN • Americans as a whole use more water per capita than any other country. • Every day, residents of New York City use over 1.5 billion gallons. Although New York and London are about the same size, New York uses about three times as much water. • California uses more water than any other state, but Alaska uses the most per capita. • Americans use an average of 200 gallons (757 liters) of water in the home daily. That includes 5 gallons for every flush; 3 gallons for brushing teeth if the water is running; 40 gallons for a bath; 10 gallons to wash dishes; 8 gallons to clean house; 30 gallons to wash clothes; 30 gallons for lawns and pools; and a mere 2 gallons for drinking and cooking. • If you include industrial and agricultural uses as well as home use, the average American uses 1,900 gallons (7,192 l) of water per day. • 40% of water used in the home is flushed down the toilet. The average toilet is flushed eight times a day. • It takes 13,000 gallons (49,000 l) of water to carry away 165 gallons (624 l) of body waste per person each year. • People living in cities that charge a flat rate for water have been found to use twice as much water as people in cities that meter water use. In Tucson, Arizona, water use per person dropped from 200 to 140 gallons a day when the price was raised significantly. • It takes 40 gallons (151 l) to produce one egg; 80 gallons (300 l) for an ear of corn; 150 gallons (567 l) for a loaf of bread; 230 gallons (870 l) for a gallon of whisky; 2,500 gallons (9,463 l) for a pound of beef; and 100,000 gallons for a new car. • More than 700 chemicals have been found in drinking water, but most municipalities typically test their water for fewer than ten. FAST FACTS • Hoover Dam holds as much water as would flow through the Colorado River in two years. • Old Faithful Geyser in Yellowstone gushes 33 million gallons of water each day— enough water to provide for a city of 300,000 people. • Niagara Falls has eaten its way seven miles (11 km) upstream since their formation 10,000 years ago. At this rate, they will disappear into Lake Erie in about 22,000 years. • The waterfall with the greatest flow used to be Guaira Falls in Brazil. At 1,750,000 cubic feet per second, it would fill the Capitol Dome in Washington, D.C. in 3/5 of a second. It was submerged by a dam in 1982. • 45-foot Khone Falls on the Mekong River on the border between Laos and Cambodia, is now the biggest waterfall by volukm. It runs with twice the flow of the Niagara. • The Amazon River carries more water than any other river— more than the Mississippi, the Nile and the Yangtze rivers together. ICE FACTS • Ice cubes will freeze clearer if they start out as warm water, which prevents tiny air bubbles from freezing inside. • The Antarctic ice cap contains about 66% of the world’s fresh water. At its thickest point the ice cap is over 2.6 miles (4.3 km) thick. • Each year, some 430 cubic miles of ice become icebergs, enough to fill the annual water needs of 5 billion people for a year. • If the Antarctic ice cap were melted at a uniform rate, it would fill the Mississippi River for more than 50,000 years, or all the rivers of the world for 750 years. • Arctic waters freeze at 30°f. (-1.1°C) instead of 32°f. (O°C) because of their high salt content. A person who falls into water this cold will become unconscious after only two minutes. This is one of the reasons why so many people drowned when the Titanic sank.

DOGS • In a study done at the University of Pennsylvania, 11 of 39 coronary victims who did not have pets died within a year, compared to only 3 out of 53 patients who owned pets. DOG NAMES • French-speaking people who heard a dog howling named it ‘begle’ which is French for ‘openthroated’ or ‘bugling.’ That breed became the beagle. • ‘Schnauzer’ comes from the German word meaning ‘snorer.’ • An Airedale is a breed that originated in the dale of the Aire, a river in England. • Cocker spaniels were bred to flush woodcocks in Spain. • A German dogcatcher named Louis Doberman set out to develop a watchdog by crossing terriers and pinschers. • Terriers were bred to dig in the earth to snatch small animals from burrows. The Latin word for earth is ‘terra.’ • ‘Dachs’ means badger in German, and ‘hund’ means dog: dachshund. • Poodle comes from the German word ‘pudel’ meaning splashing in water. IT’S A DOG’S LIFE • A dog’s nose prints are as distinctive as our fingerprints and can be used for identification. • When dogs wag their tails, it squeezes their anal scent glands and fans their signature smell all around. • Puppies don’t learn to wag their tails until they’re between 30 and 49 days old. • Free-roaming dogs spend up to three hours every day re-marking their scent posts. • All dog breeds are genetically compatible: Great Danes can mate with Chihuahuas; and any dog can breed with wolves or coyotes.

Despite Microchip, Dog Never Found --DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Last year, our beloved Sheltie “Charlene” disappeared. We’ll never know if she ran off, got lost in the woods and injured, or if someone took her. I let her out in the backyard and that was the last we saw of her. Charlene had a microchip installed by her veterinarian, but we had never followed up with registering the chip. So we’ll never know if she was found and her chip scanned. Please let your readers know that they need to register their pet’s microchip with the manufacturer, and provide a copy of the registration to their vet. And they need to update the information each year or if they move to a new address. Otherwise they lose a vital tool in locating a lost pet. -- Carol in Wisconsin DEAR CAROL: You told them, and I hope they’ll heed your advice! If you know your pet is chipped but have lost the information, you can still check to see if the chip is registered. The American Animal Hospital Association maintains a database online at www.petmicrochiplookup.org with registrations for most, but not all, microchip manufacturers listed. If you haven’t yet registered your pet’s microchips, now is a great time to do so. Find the microchip registration information that was provided to you by the vet at the time your dog or cat received its chip. If you lost it, contact the vet’s office to see if they have the manufacturer and date of chipping on file, as well as the microchip number. Send your questions about pet care to ask@pawscorner.com.

ROY PLUNKETT • On April 6, 1938, chemist Dr. Roy Plunkett was experimenting with coolant gases used in refrigerators and air conditioners at the DuPont laboratories in New Jersey. From the freezer he removed a tank of experimental gas he’d been working with, called tetrafluoroethylene. He expected to find a container of very cold gas, but when he turned the valve to let some gas out, nothing happened. • He weighed the tank, which showed it should be full of gas. He checked the valve, but it worked fine. Perplexed, he cut the tank in half to find out what happened to the gas. He was surprised to see the gas had congealed into a solid, waxy substance. • Plunkett ran some tests. The new material was impervious to chemicals and heat; it did not absorb things and nothing absorbed it; it was colorless and odorless; and it had an extremely high melting point. • Plunkett had accidentally discovered what is popularly known as the slipperiest substance on Earth, equivalent to two wet ice cubes rubbing against each other in a warm room. The molecules of the substance are some of the largest molecules known. • Three years after Plunkett’s accidental discovery, the process of manufacturing the substance was patented. Four years after that, it began to be sold on the market, mostly for military applications at first. • Fifty years later Plunkett was inducted into the Inventor’s Hall of Fame. Today the product has hundreds of uses. It’s used on windshield wiper blades, it’s in fingernail polish, it forms a scratch-resistant coating on eyeglasses, it covers cookware, it protects fabrics, and it covers lightbulbs to make them shatterproof. The list is nearly endless. What is it commonly known as? Answer: Teflon. BILL & BOB • Bill was one of the researchers working in the DuPont lab when Teflon was invented. He continued to experiment with it, inventing many uses. However, the DuPont Teflon team was disbanded in 1957. Bill begged his bosses to let him continue to work with Teflon, but was turned down. • He took Teflon home with him, experimented with it in his basement after work, and established his own company. His son Bob joined him, and in 1969 they discovered that Teflon would stretch if it was heated and then pulled slowly. They wanted to stretch it into a fabric, but time after time – while heating it and pulling it slowly – they failed. • Finally in frustration, Bob heated it and then yanked it. That was the secret. Teflon, when heated and stretched quickly, expands to 1000% of its original size and forms fabric. • Normally raincoats are made out of two layers: the outer layer is polyester or nylon, and the inner layer is polyurethane. Bill and Bob found that when sheets of this new Teflon fabric were inserted between the two layers, the raincoat was porous enough to breathe, but tight enough to be waterproof. • The fabric contains over 9 billion microscopic pores per square inch. Whereas the pores are about 20,000 times smaller than a drop of water, they are also 700 times bigger than a molecule of moisture vapor. Therefore, water droplets cannot get through the fabric, but gases and water vapor can easily escape. It was superior to any outerwear on the market. • Bill and Bob were granted a patent in 1976, the product line hit the market in 1989, and Bob was inducted into the Inventor’s Hall of Fame in 2006. The name of the fabric is based on Bill and Bob’s last name. What’s it called? Answer: Gore-Tex, named for Bill & Bob Gore.

DOGS (cont’d) • Dogs roll in dead things to disguise their smell. A deer will sniff the wind and think, “I smell a dead skunk” instead of thinking, “I smell a canine on the prowl.” • Wolves bark a little and howl a lot. Dogs bark a lot and howl a little. Wolves and dogs both howl for the same reason: to get the entire pack together in communication and galvanize them for action. A howl means, “Where are you? Come join me! Let’s go do something!” Sometimes when people start singing, their dog mistakenly thinks they are howling in order to draw the pack together, and will then start howling along. • When wolves are teaching their pups to eat solid food, they will leave animal parts lying around the den: horns, bones, hooves. The pups chew and gnaw on these objects as their teeth are coming in. When humans leave their slippers or newspapers laying around, the pup assumes it’s for the same purpose, and will chew the object to bits— and then be completely bewildered when it’s punished for doing what comes naturally. • It’s been estimated that it costs about $6,000 to raise a medium-size dog to the age of 11. • There are about 400 pet cemeteries in the U.S. • In 1894, New York State enacted the first dog-licensing law in the nation. • In 80% of dog bites, victims are bitten by a family dog or the dog of a neighbor. Some 60% happen between July and September.
