Red foxes have long, soft fur and derive th...

June 21, 2023 – Under the bright lights of the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, singer and songwriter Adele took a moment from her performance to connect with her audience. Famous for her powerful vocals with a tinge of rasp and for her soulful song choices, Adele's on-stage conversation turned to what is under her Spanx. The popular shaping briefs and leggings are designed to help smooth out any bumps, ensuring clothes fit well. But under the bright lights of her Weekends With Adele residency, the vocalist said, "I sweat a lot and it doesn't go anywhere. So I basically sit in my own sweat." The result, she says, is her doctor diagnosed her with jock itch affecting her upper thighs, buttocks, and lower abdomen. "It's a bit crude," Adele said. "I never knew it existed." Caused by a fungus, infections like these start itchy rashes that thrive in warm, moist places on the body. The rash might be shaped like a rin...

Phase 2a trial data published in May showed once-daily PDE4 inhibitor roflumilast foam 0.3% was associated with a significant rate of patients achieved Investigators Global Assessment (IGA) disease severity and Worst Itch Numerical Rating Scale (WI-NRS) improvements for their seborrheic dermatitis at 8 weeks of treatment. 1 The findings precede the anticipated US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) decision date for Arcutis Biotherapeutics' New Drug Application (NDA) to indicate roflumilast foam for seborrheic dermatitis by about 6 months. At least one investigator is convinced of the PDE4 inhibitor's benefit for his patients. In an interview with HCPLive during the Maui Derm 2023 NP + PA Summer Conference in Colorado Springs this week, roflumilast foam investigator Matthew Zirwas, MD, director of the clinical trials and dermatitis center at Dermatologists of Greater Columbus, praised the "stunning" impact of PDE4 inhibition—particularly as delivered by roflumilast—on...

Catherine McQueen / Getty Images Medically reviewed by Robert Burakoff, MD An H. pylori infection is caused by the Helicobacter pylori bacteria, a common bacteria that frequently infects the stomach during childhood. On its own, an H. pylori infection doesn't usually cause symptoms; many children and adults have no idea they have it, and the infections are fairly common, affecting about 30-40% of the United States population. However, experts now know this bacteria—and the chronic inflammation it causes—to be the primary reason peptic ulcers develop. Peptic ulcers, which form in the stomach or the duodenum (the area that connects the stomach and small intestine), can cause symptoms like burning stomach pain, bloating, vomiting and nausea, and weight loss. These symptoms often begin gradually and worsen over time, or they may come and go intermittently. Many people with H. pylori infections won't have any complications. Experts don't know why others develop peptic ulcers, g...

Researchers have discovered a drug-resistant super fungus in one of the most remote corners of the Earth. This finding from a disturbing new study raises fears of a widespread disease outbreak capable of making millions sick. The researchers hail from McMaster University and have published their findings in the scientific journal, mSphere. Researchers collected the disease-causing super fungus, Aspergillus fumigatus, from the Three Parallel Rivers region in Yunnan, China. A staggeringly beautiful yet remote part of the world, this region perches 6,000 meters above sea level. It is cloaked by the towering, icy peaks of the Eastern Himalayas. Few people live here, and there's minimal development. Yet this is where the research team discovered the drug-resistant super fungus strains. Seven percent of the Aspergillus fumigatus  samples collected there were drug resistant. Intrigued, Jianping Xu, the leader of the study, decided to investigate further. "Seven per ...

An outbreak investigation in the American Journal of Infection Control reviews the infection control procedures implemented by an academic medical center in response to a patient's introduction of scabies to health care workers. A recent American Journal of Infection Control article described how a scabies outbreak transpired at a medical center in Western Pennsylvania and how the situation was rectified. "Scabies is a skin infection caused by the ectoparasite Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis . It is transmitted by close person-to-person contact, which makes it easy to spread in household members and between sexual partners," according to the study. "Ordinary scabies usually has a small number of mites (10-15), while crusted scabies can present with up to two million mites which makes it more contagious. Besides skin-to-skin contact, crusted scabies can also be transmitted by indirect ways such as shedding mites [from] contaminated clothing, bedding, and furniture. P...

Photo: istockphoto.com Grub damage versus fungus problems can look similar, but there are a few ways to determine if the unsightly dead patches of grass are caused by the presence of grubs or fungal disease. Grubs are the larvae of beetles and have a white, worm-like appearance. The grubs feed on the roots of turfgrass and can live in the larval stage for between 1 and 3 years. Grubs live in soil that doesn't have nematodes, which are worms that survive from eating grubs. Using artificial fertilizers and overfertilizing a lawn can kill off the nematodes, which allow grubs free rein of the lawn. When once-healthy grass has brown spots and areas of dead grass, those are signs of grub infestations or some type of lawn disease. Diagnosing the problem is important to begin grub control treatment with one of the best grub killers or administer one of the best lawn fungicides for turf diseases. DIY Lawn Care. Simplified. Bob Vila has partnered with Sunday to get your lawn exactly what it ...

Oftentimes, the culprit behind your post-wax hyperpigmentation is hot wax, so you may want to opt for cold waxing to avoid the problem if your skin is prone to dark marks. Compared to hot wax, cold wax is also more user-friendly and suitable for travel. It's also less painful for some people. The store-bought cold wax is usually packaged in neatly cut strips and is ready to use right away. The downside of cold waxing, however, is that it works more effectively on body parts with thinner hair. It doesn't adhere well to the hair follicles, so you might have to apply the strips repeatedly to make them stick and wax more regularly to prevent regrowth. "Hot wax adheres to the hairs stronger and more firmly than cold wax, which makes it more effective for removing shorter or finer hairs from the root," Shobha Tummala, founder of Shobha hair removal salons, tells Byrdie. If your body hair is thick or coarse, cold waxing might not yield desirable results. To achieve opt...

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas - A boil water notice has been issued for customers with the Decker Hills water system in Montgomery County.  According to a release, due to a power outage, areas of the distribution system experienced a loss of pressure.  SUGGESTED: HISD board vote to approve 2023-2024 budget, several job cuts expected Bacteriological samples will be collected as soon as conditions improve, and the utility would cancel the Boil Water Notice at that time. This notice affects 300 connections in Inverness Crossing, Park Place, and Decker Hills MHP. Due to a loss of pressure, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has required Decker Hills water system, PWS ID No. TX1700386, to notify all customers to boil their water prior to consumption (e.g., washing hands/face, brushing teeth, drinking, etc). Children, seniors, and persons with weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable to harmful bacteria, and all customers should follow these direct...

"Maybe @PeterHotez just hates charity," Elon Musk tweeted the other day. Musk was referencing the fact that Peter Hotez refused an offer of $100,000, which he could then donate to a charity of his choice, to debate Robert Kennedy Jr. on Joe Rogan's podcast. Hotez did agree to go on Rogan's show to explain his position on vaccines, but not to debate Kennedy directly. For years, Hotez has been under assault by the anti-vaccine community, and more generally by a plethora of conspiracists. Consequently, Hotez appears reluctant to give Kennedy a platform to espouse crank opinions on vaccines. Hotez has long contended that 200,000 unvaccinated Americans needlessly died during the Covid-19 Delta and BA.1 Omicron waves in 2021 and 2022. Many, in his view, refused the vaccine because of widespread disinformation. Hotez describes this in his book The Deadly Rise of Anti-Science . One of the more vocal figures misinforming the public has been Kennedy. He went on ...
