Gallstones are precipitations (collections) of bile that form into stones that range in size from sand crystals to golf balls.
They usually form in the gallbladder which is a sac-like organ sitting beneath the liver on the right side of the abdomen. The gallbladder’s purpose is to store the bile that the liver creates.
Bile travels through ducts to empty into the intestine and helps digest the fatty foods we eat. Gallstones occur from an unbalanced collection of cholesterol, lecithin and bile salts in the bile.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the first injectable medication for cellulite.
This medication is called Qwo (collagenase clostridium histolyticum-aaes). The FDA approved it to treat adult women with moderate to severe cellulite in the buttocks.
Qwo comes in the form of an injection and is given under the skin (subcutaneously) of each buttock by your health care provider.
You may receive up to 12 injections per treatment area. Each treatment visit may include up to two treatment areas.
These injections will be given 21 days apart for three treatment visits.

There’s a new bulldog in town, and you will love it. It’s not only an Ada-created bulldog, but and it’s also the only bulldog of its kind.
A project launched last spring focused on a “new and improved” Ada school logo, Dan Lee, Ada High School principal, told the Icon.
That project had its unveiling in mid-afternoon on Sept. 11.
It all came about under the direction of a committee of school staff members, three talented Ada High School alumni and a sponsorship from Quest Federal Credit Union.
Staff members on the committee included Arlene Allison, Morgan Bass, Eric Perkins, Ben Thaxton and Lee.
