at the Greater Blackfoot

Wednesday.
Mica Scott, one of the

spoke Wednesday about
the bio-degradable plastic made from potato,
corn and cassava starch.
“We can take starch,
whether 30 or 10 percent
moisture, our machine
handles it the same,”
Scott said.
While other companies
have been able to make
a plastic powder from
potato starch, Biologiq
is able to make thermoplastic starch (TPS) resin
pellets called Eco Starch
Resin (ESR). ESR is 100
percent degradable and
brakes down naturally
with the help of microorganisms that live in soil
or water.
According to biologiq.

3 new residents at Bingham Internal Medicine Program
Special to the
MORNING NEWS BLACKFOOT — Bingham Memorial Hospital
(BMH) introduced three
new resident physicians
to the Bingham Inter-
nal Medicine Residency
program at an annual
ceremony.
The
three
residents—Brock Aldrich,
DO; Gregg Gibbs, DO;
and, Dave Ohlson, DO—
were formally introduced
and presented with a tra-
ditional white lab coat,
which represents their
official career transition
into doctors.
The three new resident
physicians come from
a wide range of backgrounds and each graduated from a different
medical school, including schools in Washington, Pennsylvania, and
Colorado. They are all
studying internal medicine, which is a medical
specialty dealing with
the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of
adult diseases. These
include treating patients
with high blood pressure,
diabetes, heart failure,
coronary artery disease,
and chronic pulmonary
disease. They will now
spend the next three
years training at Bingham Memorial Hospital to
become eligible for board
certification in internal
medicine.
“The goal of the Bingham Internal Medicine
Residency program is to
prepare resident physicians to work confidently
in physician and hospital
settings while providing
a high-quality of healthcare to all patients,” says
Jeff Daniels, CEO of BMH.
“We believe that with the
support of our enthusiastic medical and support staff, as well as our
physician and hospital
partners, our residents
will have the opportunity
to become proficient and
sought after medical pro-
viders in our community.”
Residency is a required
step and the final stage
of a physician’s graduate
medical education before
they go into practice. Established in 2014, the
Bingham Internal Medicine Residency program
encompasses
teaching
future doctors to deliver
exquisite patient care
while providing a practical learning experience
to help them succeed in
their future career goals.
The program is the first
and only American Osteopathic
Association
(AOA) approved internal
medicine residency in
Idaho for a doctoral degree in Osteopathic Medicine.
Bingham’s
residency
program provides residents with unique opportunities to develop
not only their patient
communication
skills,
but to understand the
importance of effective
communication between
everyone involved in patient care. Being in residency involves training
and working under the
supervision of an attending physician, and, from
the nursing staff to the
respiratory and radiology teams, they work together to ensure the best
outcome for the patient.

Internal Medicine Residency program, please

NEW YORK (AP) — A
New York City patient
was infected with bacteria that had a special type
of resistance to antibiotics last year, the earliest
known case in the U.S. of
bacteria that could lead
to a superbug impervious
to medications.
The
bacteria
were
found in a patient who
was treated in May of
2015 and reported in a
study published Monday.
They were discovered by
an Iowa company that’s
been testing thousands
of bacteria collected from
patients from around the
world over the last two
years.
The
company,
JMI
Laboratories, found hundreds globally that were
resistant to colistin, an
old, powerful antibiotic
that is now seen as a
drug of last resort. Health
officials worry that these
bacteria will spread their
resistance to last-resort
antibiotics to other bacteria that are already resistant to front-line antibiotics, creating germs
that can’t be killed by any
known drugs.
A similar infection was
reported in a Pennsylvania woman earlier this
year and initially report-
ed as the first known U.S.
case. But the New York
case happened almost a
year before, and scientists now believe these
bacteria were likely in
people in the U.S. even
earlier.
they were vulnerable to
more common antibiotics and were not hard to
treat. “It’s not an immediate threat,” said Mariana Castanheira, one of
the study’s authors.
have been confirmed in
Asia, Europe, Canada and
the United States.
Until this study, none
of the reported U.S. infections were thought to
have occurred before this
year, when colistin resistance was detected in
pigs in Illinois and South
Carolina, and in the
49-year-old
Pennsylvania woman who had gone
to a military clinic with
symptoms of a urinary
tract infection.
But the new report
found the New York case
in 2015, and Castanheira
said it’s likely colistinresistant bacteria were in
the United States before
that.
Low risk in all
but 4 countries Superbug precursor in US again
of Olympics
related Zika
NEW YORK (AP) — The upcoming Olympic games
are not likely to have a major impact on the spread
of Zika virus, although four developing countries
could face a substantially higher risk, according to
a new government estimate.
U.S. researchers tried to calculate whether the
Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, which is in the midst
of a Zika epidemic, will lead to outbreaks that
wouldn’t have happened otherwise. The danger
is that infected travelers might be bitten by mosquitoes after return to their home nations, which
would potentially spread Zika to other people and
spark an outbreak.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that 19 countries that currently do
not have Zika have the right conditions for outbreaks if it is imported by people returning from
the Olympics. But in only four of the 19 countries
is the issue considered substantial: Yemen, at the
southern tip of the Arabian peninsula, and Chad,
Djibouti and Eritrea in Africa.
CDC researchers made their predictions based
on a range of factors, including air travel patterns
between Brazil and other countries and the presence of a tropical mosquito that is the main way
Zika spreads to people.
The four nations at greatest risk from the Olympics generally have no or very few travelers to Zika
outbreak countries. Only a dozen to several dozen
people are expected to travel to the Rio games
from each of these countries, but those small numbers represent a notable jump from regular traffic
volume to outbreak countries, said the CDC’s Dr.
Martin Cetron, one of the authors of the report.
WHY ARE PEOPLE
WORRIED?
Since the 1940s, doctors have used antibiotics
to beat back a large number of dangerous bacterial diseases. Over the
decades, bacteria have
adapted to become resistant to more and more
of the drugs. An exception has been an old antibiotic called colistin. But
recently scientists have
spotted evidence of colistin-resistant infections
in animals and people in
China, Europe and Canada. Now, at least two human infections have also
been seen in the United
States.
ARE THESE COLISTINRESISTANT GERMS
SOME NEW BREED OF
BACTERIA?
No. In both the U.S.
cases, they were E. coli
bacteria, a common type
of germ found in the gut.
In both cases, while they
were resistant to colistin,
SO WHAT’S THE
PROBLEM?
Bacteria often mingle
and swap genetic material. The E. coli bacteria
in New York and Pennsylvania were vulnerable
to other antibiotics, but
some other germs are
nearly impervious. Colistin is reserved for germs
that already resist one
of the other last lines
of defense — antibiotics called carbapenems.

Duncan breaks silence about reason for retirement
SAN ANTONIO (AP) —
When Tim Duncan decided to reflect on his
outstanding 19-year NBA
career, the understated
star did it in the most
Timmy way possible:
seated at a table with a
friend from the islands.
Two days after the San
Antonio Spurs announced
his retirement , Duncan
told longtime friend Rashidi Clenance that he simply
“started not enjoying myself as much. It wasn’t fun
as much. When it’s not fun
anymore, I’m done.”
When the decision was
made public, Duncan was
hailed as perhaps the greatest power forward the
league has ever seen, a fivetime champion and unparalleled teammate whose selflessness and determination
served as the backbone for
the most enduring success
story in American sports
over the last two decades.
Duncan tried to avoid
much of the praise, watching
former
teammate
Bruce Bowen’s tribute on
ESPN and coach Gregg
Popovich’s emotional news
conference on Tuesday.
“I about lost it on that
one,” Duncan said during
the interview streamed
online by ViVid Streaming.
“I didn’t expect the response that I got,” Duncan said. “No, I didn’t.
That’s the way I’m built.
I knew that I didn’t want
to sit there and watch
what was being said. It’s
appreciated, but I just
didn’t want to watch it.”
Duncan looked relaxed

It was a setback for organized labor groups arguing for due process in
employee discipline.
The players association
and Brady had requested
that the panel reconsider
or that all the 2nd Circuit
judges hear arguments
and decide anew.
Brady’s remaining hope
is to appeal to the U.S.
Supreme Court.
“That is an extremely
long shot,” said Nellie
Drew, a sports law professor at the University
at Buffalo.

Dear Annie: I want to
respond to "Lady Lake in
Florida," the wife whose
hard-of-hearing
husband
plays the TV so loud it drives
her crazy. My father gets
vertigo easily and does not
like to wear hearing aids or
headphones. In his case,
a wonderful solution is a
speaker box that brings the
sound directly to where he
is seated without disturbing
others in the room.
More information (and
occasionally
free
products and services) can be
found through her state's
Commission for the Deaf
and Hard of Hearing. Current
technology is amazing. Why
not take advantage of all the
possibilities? — Loretta
Dear Loretta: Thank you
for the suggestions. Our
readers had a lot to offer on
this subject:
From the Midwest: My
hearing aid works for everything except the TV. I have
a sound transmitter and
wireless earphones, but you
have to cut off the normal sound to use them. Our

COMICS & ADVICE
tHe
HorriBLe
for Better
or
Worse
DEAR READER: On average, women do live about
five years longer than men.
In the United States, 57 percent of all who are ages 65
and older are female. By age
85, 67 percent are women.
You can see this for yourself
in most nursing homes or
assisted living facilities in
the United States: Women
usually outnumber men, and
the magnitude of the difference is often striking.
The ratio of men to
women is roughly equal in
young adulthood. So why
does the ratio start to favor
women over time? Among
the most powerful factors
are that men tend to:
-- Take bigger risks. The
part of the brain that controls
judgment and consideration
of an action’s consequences develops more slowly in
boys and young men than
in their female counterparts.
This likely contributes to the
fact that far more boys and
men die in accidents or due
to violence. This tendency
toward lack of judgment
and consideration of consequences may also contribute
to harmful lifestyle decisions
among young men. Smoking
or drinking to excess are two
examples.

Crestline, Calif.: I am 21
years old and profoundly
deaf in one ear. I wear a
hearing aid, and it works
quite well. He should schedule an appointment with an
audiologist who will tune the
hearing aids so they are less
tinny.
Nova Scotia: Not all
brands of wireless TV headphones work equally well.
The ones I now use came
from my hearing aid dispenser and are far superior
to the ones from a national
electronics store. They are
twice the price, but the perMassachusetts: Captioned

Alta Loma, Calif.: Using
hearing aids can be a lot

sibilities are heading your
way. Don’t take offense if
someone complains. Make
an adjustment and keep
moving. Romance is favored.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
22) -- Dodge anyone who is
pushy or trying to get something for nothing. Learn
from your experience and
offer only what’s fair. If you
explore a promising idea, it
will pay off.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov.
23-Dec. 21) -- Take care
of any financial, medical or
legal issues that arise. Use
charm and intelligence in
order to outsmart someone
trying to take advantage of
you. Love is in the stars.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) -- You will make positive
gains due to an unusual
turn of events. Look for an
opportunity to buy or sell
assets. If you know your
market, you’ll set a new
trend.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) -- Emotional distress
will lead to changes you
didn’t anticipate. Be ready to
counter any negative move
someone tries to make.
Protect against injury and
accidents as well as verbal
mishaps.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March
20) -- You’ve got more going
for you than you realize.
Don’t take a backseat when
you should be the one in
control. A unique solution
will draw interest.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
-- A financial gain is apparent, but you are likely to
spend money just as quickly
as you receive it. A bargain
isn’t a bargain unless you
actually need what’s being
offered. Romance is encouraged.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20) -- You’ll be torn between
compromise and doing your
own thing. Consider the
long-term effects before you
opt to put yourself first. If
you offer incentives, you will
make everyone happy.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
-- Offer to work overtime.
Putting more into your job
and getting ahead will help
you avoid being enticed to
take part in something that
is costly and unhealthy.
I feel obliged to state
that this impulsivity, explosive personality and lack of
judgment in younger members of my gender completely goes away by the time
we become mature adults.
Except when it doesn’t.
-- Have more dangerous jobs. Men far outnumber women in some of the
riskiest occupations. These
include military combat,
firefighting and working at
construction sites.
-- Die of heart disease
more often and at a younger
age. Men are 50 percent
more likely than women
to die of heart disease,
although women start dying
more frequently of heart disease after they reach their
mid-60s.
-Commit
suicide
more often than women.
Depression is considered
more
common
among
women, and depression
does cause some people
to attempt suicide. Men
are less likely to seek care
for depression and mental illness. And when men
attempt suicide, it is much
more likely to be fatal. More
than three times as many
men die from suicide than
women.
-- Be less socially connected. People with fewer
and weaker social connec-
tions (including men) tend
to have higher death rates.
-- Avoid doctors. Men are
far more likely to skip routine health screens and are
far less likely than women
to have seen a doctor of
any kind during the previous
year.
Studies in animals indicate that the females tend
to have stronger immune
systems. This means they
are less likely to die of
infections. (However, it also
makes them more likely to
develop autoimmune diseases.) Whether this is a reason
why women live longer than
men is less clear.
There’s not much that
can be done about some
of these factors. But others
are modifiable. For example,
getting men to report symptoms (including depression)
and regularly see a doctor
for chronic medical problems
could counter some of the
tendency for them to die
younger.
It’s also worth noting that
the survival gap between
men and women reflects an
average tendency among
large numbers of people.
Obviously, and unfortunately, sometimes wives die
before their husbands. But
what you’ve heard is generally true: In the U.S. and
other developed nations,
women live longer than
men.
