fever after workout :: Article Creator Caitlin Clark Scores 22 As WNBA Fans Call Out Fever's 0-3 Start After Loss To Liberty ANGELA WEISS/AFP via Getty Images The Indiana Fever suffered a third straight loss to open their season on Saturday afternoon, falling 91-80 to the New York Liberty at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. One silver lining for the Fever was the play of Caitlin Clark, who wrapped up the most efficient game of her WNBA career so far. Clark dropped 22 points, with 15 coming in the first half. She added six rebounds and eight assists, although she committed eight turnovers. Her efficiency looked similar to her college days at Iowa, shooting 52.9 percent from the field and 4-10 from three. However, her performance wasn't enough to help the Fever overcome a Liberty team that advanced to the WNBA Finals in 2023. New York was led by Breanna Stewart, who finished with 24 points on 50 percent sho

common cold treatment :: Article Creator Can Zinc Help Shorten Common Cold? Study Says Evidence Is 'inconclusive' Zinc supplements might help shorten cold symptoms but are not likely to prevent them, a new analysis suggests. Existing studies on zinc's effectiveness are somewhat inconclusive due to different designs, different drug delivery systems, and lack of a single definition of which cold viruses are being targeted. Experts say people can still take zinc as long as they're aware of side effects and should consult their physician before doing so. Taking zinc when you have the sniffles could reduce cold symptoms by a couple of days, but it's no sure thing, a new systematic review of existing studies finds. The review looked at more than 30 studies that examined people who took zinc as either a preventive measure to ward off colds or as a treatment for cold symptoms. Breaking these studies down, the review authors

sore throat after flu shot :: Article Creator Flu Vaccine: Should You Get It? Find Out With This Quick Q&A Sore throat, runny nose, cough and fever…flu season is upon us again and chances are, you're going to get it too. Why? Because the flu virus lives longer indoors and thrives in less humid conditions, making autumn and winter the perfect time of year for it to linger and spread. While most people will struggle with flu symptoms for a couple of days or at most two weeks, others may develop complications such as pneumonia, which can be life-threatening. In fact, between 6 000 and 11 000 people in South Africa die as a result of flu complications every year, according to the National Institute for Communicable Diseases.  Vaccinated employees can serve as a barrier to limit the spread of influenza within the workplace and wider community by as much as 78%.

types of ulcer :: Article Creator Doctors Say These Kitchen Staples Speed Healing Of A Painful Skin Ulcer It starts as a small patch of dry skin on your leg. But the area soon becomes itchy, the skin begins to crack and it's nearly impossible not to scratch. A couple days go by and the wound isn't healing – it might even be worsening. That's when you realize you're dealing with a skin ulcer. Although skin ulcers can signal an underlying health issue and require careful attention, there are ways to ease discomfort and encourage healing. Here, doctors explain what causes a skin ulcer and how to treat it. What is a skin ulcer? A skin ulcer is a round, open sore appearing where the skin has broken down. Healing is slow, often due to poor circulation, says Naz Wahab, MD, a Las Vegas-based wound care specialist. Initially, the affected skin may discolor, appearing red and warm on lighter skin or shiny and blue on darker skin. As t

hyaline membrane disease :: Article Creator 22 New Anti-Inflammatory Therapy For Neonatal Acute Lung Injury: Varespladib (A-001) Inhibits Ex-Vivo Secretory Phospholipase Background: Secretory phospholipase A2(sPLA2) is crucial for surfactant catabolism and inflammation. We demonstrated high sPLA2 activity during infection related respiratory failure (IRRF), hyaline membrane disease (iRDS), RSV-triggered ARDS. SPLA2 is also responsible for lung damage during meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS). Varespladib is the first new anti-inflammatory drug able to directly inhibit sPLA2 and it resulted efficacious in animals and promising in adults. Aim: To test varespladib efficacy in an ex-vivo model of direct endotracheal administration in various types of neonatal acute lung injury. Methods: 24 neonates affected by iRDS, 12 with IRRF, 5 with MAS have been subjected to non-bronchoscopic broncho-alveolar lavage according to European Respiratory Society adv

cjd disease :: Article Creator NIH Study Shows Chronic Wasting Disease Unlikely To Move From Animals To People image:  A researcher holds a flask containing human cerebral organoids similar to those used in the CWD study view more  Credit: NIAID WHAT:A new study of prion diseases, using a human cerebral organoid model, suggests there is a substantial species barrier preventing transmission of chronic wasting disease (CWD) from cervids—deer, elk and moose—to people. The findings, from National Institutes of Health scientists and published in Emerging Infectious Diseases, are consistent with decades of similar research in animal models at the NIH's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Prion diseases are degenerative diseases found in some mammals. These diseases primarily involve deterioration of the brain but also can affect the eyes and other organs. Disease and death occur when abnormal proteins fold, clump
