Scary Mommy and Ulrika/Getty Anyone who has a child knows they get stomach aches often. From holding their urine and bowel movements to eating too many bowls of ice cream, one of the most common childhood complaints is an upset tummy. And while there are numerous causes for nausea and abdominal pain, one possible cause is appendicitis. Yes, an inflamed appendix can cause a wide range of symptoms — and parents should be mindful of these things. Why? Because appendicitis is common. It affects 1 out of every 1,000 people living in the U.S. A nd because (if left untreated) appendicitis can be serious — even life-threatening. Here's everything you should know about appendicitis, from what it is to the most common signs and symptoms. What is appendicitis? According to the Mayo Clinic , "appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix, a finger-shaped pouch that projects from your colon on the lower right side of your abdomen." Ho...

Addison Rae is coming under scrutiny. This TikTok star is being called out by her fans for introducing herself to former president Donald Trump at the UFC 264, with some even calling for the star to be "canceled" for the interaction. Article continues below advertisement On Saturday, July 10, when the 20-year-old dancer, who is also good pals with Kourtney Kardashian, was attending the Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier fight in Las Vegas, she got up from her seat to greet the controversial political figure, who was also watching the match. Unfortunately for her, their meeting was caught on video and posted all over the internet. In the filmed interaction, the young entertainer approached Trump by tapping him on the shoulder and, as she went to shake his hand, sweetly said, "Hi! I'm Addison. Nice to meet you. I have to say hi, hello. So nice to meet you." The 45th president's reaction was not caught in the clip. Article continues below advertisement Source:...

Credit: Getty Images Pregnancy is a huge life-changing experience. Bringing another human into this crazy world is no small task. Knowing the early signs of pregnancy can help you prepare for what's to come and make important decisions about your body. There are lots of indications that you may be expecting, even before you take a pregnancy test. When do pregnancy symptoms start? Noticeable signs of pregnancy typically begin 10 to 14 days after conception, when the fertilized egg creates a fluid-filled group of cells called a blastocyst. The blastocyst will eventually become the infant's organs and body parts. At around days 10 to 14, the blastocyst implants itself in the uterine lining or endometrium. This may cause cramping and implantation bleeding, commonly known as spotting. However, not everyone experiences spotting, according to the Mayo Clinic. Every person's body is different. According to the American Pregnancy Association (APA), some women experience symptoms as ...

Facts you should know about schistosomiasis Life cycle of schistosomiasis Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease caused by Schistosoma organisms that can cause acute and chronic infection. Many symptoms of schistosomiasis infection frequently include fever, blood in stools or urine, and abdominal discomfort. The immune response and Schistosoma egg migration through tissues and their deposition in body organs cause the disease. Schistosomiasis has an acute and chronic phase. Health care professionals diagnose schistosomiasis by identifying characteristic eggs in feces, urine, or biopsy samples. Serologic (blood) tests may aid the diagnosis. The antiparasitic drug praziquantel (Biltricide) often effectively treats schistosomiasis, especially in acute phase disease. Chronic schistosomiasis often produces complications in various organ systems (for example, the ...

Posted on July 25, 2021 at 10:50 am by Carol Tannenhauser By Pam Tice, Bloomingdale Neighborhood History Group For twenty years the Bloomingdale Neighborhood History Group (BNHG) has promoted research and education on the history of the Bloomingdale neighborhood of New York City's Upper West Side. Bloomingdale is the name of the neighborhood on the Upper West Side of Manhattan from W. 96th to W. 110th Street between Central Park and Riverside Drive. This area has been referred to as "Bloomingdale" for over 300 years. Here is the fifth post in a series exploring Bloomingdale in Colonial times and after the Revolution. You can read all of the posts in this series here. New York City had to recover from the Revolutionary War after George Washington marched back to downtown Manhattan in November 1783. The city became the United States capital until 1790, when it moved to Philadelphia. Population growth was strong from 1790 to 1820 when Manhattan's popu...

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are very common infections that can occur in any part of the urinary tract system, including the urethra, ureters, bladder, and kidneys. The cause is typically bacteria on your skin or in fecal matter entering the urethra and traveling to the bladder. UTIs are responsible for an estimated 8.1 million healthcare visits a year. The majority of those visits are from women, 60% of whom will experience a UTI at least once in their lifetime. This is because women have a shorter urethra that is closer to the rectum than men. Only 12% of men will experience a UTI in their lifetime. Catherine McQueen / Getty Images Common UTI Symptoms  When you have a UTI, your urethra and bladder will turn red and become irritated and inflamed. If your UTI is simple, you will likely be prescribed a course of antibiotics for your infection. You can expect to experience some or all of the following symptoms if you have a UTI: ...

NEW DELHI: There's been no respite from the sweltering heat for days now, and if you're staying in the Delhi-NCR region, it's likely you've taken a peek at your phone screen to check the temperature outside. Now, your app shows 38 degrees Celsius — but there's a small box next to the temperature cautioning that it "Feels like 43 degrees". The warning seems fair — it does seem far less comfortable than 38 degrees. So what makes the temperature feel like 43? The answer is the heat index, which factors in relative humidity and dew point, among other parameters, to tell you what the day's weather actually feels like. Adblock test (Why?)

Share on Pinterest Sneezing is usually a symptom of the common cold, but it can be an indicator of other illnesses. raquel arocena torres/Getty Images Many health officials expect influenza and cold cases to increase this fall and winter as COVID-19 safety protocols are eased. Experts note many symptoms for the flu and COVID-19 are similar, including fever and body aches. However, breathing difficulty is more common with COVID-19. Health officials say that if you're not feeling well, you should isolate, hydrate, and get tested. Remember the flu? Seasonal influenza cases were rare last winter and experts credit COVID-19-related physical and social distancing and mask-wearing for keeping rates low. With COVID-19 restrictions easing, however, the flu is expected to make a comeback. That could make it harder to tell whether that irritating cough, congestion, or fever is only a cold, the flu, or something worse. "Droplets spread viruses like the flu, COVID-19, or things like RSV (r...

As I write, mass fatalities from COVID-19 have begun in Africa. Overall, only 1.1% of people in low-income countries have received at least one vaccine dose. In my own Liberia, the proportion of people who have had both doses is just 0.18%. Recorded cases in the country jumped by 144% between 1 June and 21 July. This is probably an undercount. The disease is more deadly here than elsewhere: the current case fatality rate in Africa is 18% higher than the global average. Rates are worse among the critically ill. About half of those who are admitted to intensive care die within 30 days (African COVID-19 Critical Care Outcomes Study Investigators Lancet 397 , 1885–1894; 2021). Enough statistics. The number of graves being dug each day in Liberia recalls the 2014 Ebola catastrophe. Like Ebola, COVID-19 infects and kills a disproportionate number of health-care workers, and Liberia already has far too few. My social media used to be alive with wishes for happy birthdays and anniversaries. N...

Officials with the Health Department of Northwest Michigan are warning residents of several norovirus outbreaks occurring in the area, and in conjunction are offering precautionary measures to keep summer dining experiences safe. Noroviruses are a group of viruses that cause gastroenteritis in people. The most common way to become infected with norovirus — also known as the "stomach flu" — is through contact with an infected person or by ingesting contaminated food or water. Norovirus illness usually begins 24-28 hours after exposure, but can appear as early as 10 hours after exposure. The illness is usually brief, with symptoms lasting only 1-2 days. Common symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramping, low-grade fever, chills, headache, muscle aches and a general sense of tiredness. It should be noted a norovirus infection is not related to influenza (flu), which is a respiratory viral illness that can cause fever, cough, chills, headache, muscle ac...

Show Caption Hide Caption Are you sick, or just dehydrated? Nobody wants to be sick during a pandemic, but if you are feeling flu-like have you considered drinking some water? Buzz60, Buzz60 You wake up feeling like you've been hit by a truck. You barely have the energy to get out of bed, your head is heavier than a bowling ball, and your throat feels as if you've swallowed a cactus. But you're fully vaccinated against the coronavirus. This can't be COVID-19, can it? Although breakthrough infections are possible, they're extremely rare, and health experts say fully vaccinated Americans are more likely to suffer from a severe summer cold than COVID-19. "We've seen a very unseasonal rebound of these infections," said Dr. Andrew Preston, professor of microbial pathogenicity at the University of Bath in the U.K. "It appears all the ...
