Despite its name, ringworm is actually a type of fungal infection. And yes, you can get it on your feet. About 300 types of fungi have the potential to infect people, and ringworm is one of the most common. Ringworm is highly contagious and can be passed back and forth between humans and animals. Dog and cat owners, people with weak immune systems , and children all have an increased risk for contracting it. Even though ringworm can be a nuisance, it's rarely a serious problem. In this article, we'll take a closer look at the symptoms of this fungus, how it's treated, and how to prevent getting it on your feet. A foot ringworm infection is also called tinea pedis, or more commonly, athlete's foot. It's thought that about 15 percent of the world's population has a fungal foot infection. Ringworm most commonly affects the soles of your feet, between your toes, and around your toenails. The symptoms can range in severity from mild to very uncomfortable. Some of th...

Don't Ignore Facial Redness; It Could Be A Sign Of A Serious Skin Condition Facial redness can be irritating and could be a cause of skin conditions. Here are some of the common skin disorders that you should look out for. Written by Arushi Bidhuri | Updated : March 7, 2022 11:03 AM IST Facial redness is often held synonymous with sensitivity but sometimes it can be just more than sensitive skin. From sunburn to an allergic reaction, there are many things that can cause your skin to become red or irritated. The origin can be infectious, vascular, inflammatory, acquired or genetic. It's not always a reason for concern, but skin redness can be irritating and uncomfortable. It might also be accompanied by other symptoms. Figuring out its underlying cause can help you treat your skin, keep it from becoming worse and in some cases help u know about an underlying disease early. Causes Of Facial Redness De...

Positive results were announced from a phase 3 study evaluating cefepime-taniborbactam for the treatment of adults with complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI), including acute pyelonephritis. The investigational drug is a combination of cefepime, a cephalosporin antibiotic, and taniborbactam, a novel beta-lactamase inhibitor. The Company believes that the combination may provide another therapeutic option for difficult-to-treat drug resistant gram-negative bacteria, such as carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales and carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The global, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled CERTAIN-1 study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03840148) compared the efficacy and safety of cefepime-taniborbactam to meropenem in 661 adults with cUTI, including acute pyelonephritis. Patients were randomly assigned 2:1 to receive cefepime-taniborbactam 2.5mg intravenously (IV) every 8 hours or meropenem 1g IV every 8 hours for 7 da...

The problem was first noted about 3 days ago with the onset of some minor discomfort. As the pain worsened, the parent noted that there was some swelling near the ear canal. They deny any direct injury, but there have been several insect bites about the face and neck area associated with lots of outdoor play activity. There are no other complaints, and the boy's immunizations are up to date. ...

Hepatitis C is a liver disease, but it can affect your whole body. A hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection starts by causing damage to your liver. Without your liver functioning in a healthy way, you're at risk for many other health conditions. The condition most often linked to HCV infection is a blood disorder called cryoglobulinemia. About 70 to 90 percent of cryoglobulinemia cases are linked to HCV. The condition can cause damage to your skin, nerves, and organs. Treatment for cryoglobulinemia includes treating HCV and any other damage caused to your body. Cryoglobulinemia is a condition that affects your blood vessels and circulation. It's caused by atypical proteins called cryoglobulins that can clump together in your blood when you're cold and your body temperature is low. The protein clumps make it hard for your blood to circulate correctly. The protein clumps in the blood may contain rheumatoid factor. These are proteins that can affect your tissues. This can lead to ...

A new study led by researchers at University of Utah Health details a novel mechanism that infectious bacteria use to quickly adjust to environmental stress. The discovery could help explain why certain types of common infections- such as urinary tract and bloodstream infections like sepsis- are hard to get rid of. The mechanism, described in the journal Nucleic Acids Research , alters the precision with which the bacteria make proteins, complex molecules that carry out most of the work in cells. These changes may improve the bacteria's chance for survival. Understanding how pathogens survive stressful situations can reveal new targets for development of anti-microbial drugs and vaccines." Matthew Mulvey, Ph.D., professor of pathology, U of U Health Adapt or die When bacteria infect their host, they are exposed to stress, such as extremely salty or acidic environments or novel antibiotics, that could easily spell doom for the pathogen. If the stressor c...

DUBLIN , March 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Global Sepsis Diagnostics Market by Technology (Microbiology, PCR, Sequencing, Biomarkers), Product (Reagents, Assay, Instruments, Software), Test Type (Lab, POC), Pathogen (Bacterial, Viral, Fungal), End User (Hospital, Pathology Lab) - Forecast to 2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The global sepsis diagnostics market size is expected to reach USD 771 million by 2026 from USD 503 million in 2021, at a CAGR of 8.9%. The demand is expected to grow due to the rising incidence of sepsis, a growing number of surgical procedures, high incidence of hospital-acquired infections, and increasing availability of a wide variety of sepsis diagnostic devices. The sepsis diagnostics industry is segmented on the technology, product, method, pathogen, test type, end-user, and region. The blood culture segment accounted for the largest share of the sepsis diagnostics industry, by end-user, in 2021 Based o...
