Toledo Blade: Most of northwest Ohio, including much of Lucas County, Perrysburg, Bedford Township, and Rossford among others, were under a do not drink or boil advisory after the Collins Park water-treatment plant in East Toledo produced two toxin sample readings. Chemists testing water at Collins Park plant found two sample readings for microcystin that exceeded the recommended “do not drink” standard of one microgram per liter standard.

Carbapenem-resistant enterobacter becoming more prevalent. |
|
Smithsonian: The carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae, or CRE, can defeat even last-resort antibiotics and have been dubbed "nightmare bacteria" by the CDC. The study's authors say they are "trying to sound the alarm," and experts say the findings are especially worrying because it appears some of the cases were not connected to a hospital setting, the Smithsonian reports.

University of Chicago's Dr. Fred Coe's kidney stone website and blog. |
|
University of Chicago: Dr. Coe writes: Welcome to our new site, dedicated to the problem of kidney stones........................................... My name is Fred Coe. I founded the University of Chicago Kidney Stone Program in 1969, and have created this site for our patients, for physicians who entrust their patients to us for kidney stone treatment and prevention, for our colleagues in this country and abroad who work as scientists in the field of kidney stone research and, to be frank, for anybody for whom this disease is either a problem or an interest. Although I am the site’s founder, I intend it as a medium for the program at large, and use the word ‘we’ to stand for everyone in the program or from elsewhere who will write posts and comments, and make this what I hope for: An open forum and exchange for everyone with an interest in this field.
