Bubonic Plague Symptoms

Health providers say they are seeing more patients than ever with pain and joint ailments in their hands, necks, shoulders and upper backs — and that mobile phones are most likely playing a part. A few years ago, my best friend texted me to confess that she was worried about her texting. Her hands and fingers ached throughout the day, and the pain worsened when she used her smartphone. Could our incessant texting about parenting and politics be the culprit? There isn't much research yet on the effects that smartphone use can have on the body. "We don't know a lot," said Jessica B. Schwartz, a physical therapist based in New York and a spokeswoman for the American Physical Therapy Association. But she and the doctors I spoke with said they were seeing more patients than ever with pain as well as joint and soft tissue ailments such as tendinitis in their fingers, thumbs, wrists, elbows, necks, shoulders and upper backs — and that mobile phones were most likely playing a...

An otolaryngological examination is essential, but the examination must often be accompanied by a tonal or vocal audiometric or impedance test, which are necessary to understand alterations in the function most easily attributable to the ear, i.e. hearing. What are the causes of earache? Ear discomfort can manifest itself in different ways and be related to problems in the ear itself or in the ear's surroundings. The skin of the ear canal, i.e. the pathway leading to the eardrum membrane, is not only innervated by the trigeminal cord, but also represents a delicate part of our body. In contrast to the skin on the arms, legs or face, which are more exposed to ventilation, impaired perspiration in the skin of the ear canal encourages bacterial replication and the onset of painful ear infections. In addition, external factors such as prolonged swimming in the pool or the sea, bad habits such as clumsy attempts to clean the ear with cotton buds or wax cones, or disease o...

With springtime around the corner, and the winds blowing through the Kern River Valley, for those who suffer from allergies, many of us can have stuffy nose, cough and fatigue – very similar to the symptoms of COVID-19. So those with allergies might wonder whether their symptoms are due to COVID-19 or if their allergies are acting up. Here we'll review the similarities and differences in the symptoms of COVID-19 and allergies. We'll also discuss what you can do if you have these symptoms. What's the difference between allergy and COVID-19 symptoms? Allergic rhinitis is the type of allergy that causes nasal symptoms. Seasonal all...

Scientists have discovered urine bacteria which could be linked to aggressive prostate cancers. According to experts at the University of East Anglia, this identification could help with spotting signs and potentially preventing dangerous tumours. Advertisement Currently it is too early to say whether the urine bacteria causes cancer or is just a helpful marker. Some bacterial infections play a part in the development of other cancers, such as a bug called H. pylori which can trigger stomach cancers. In these cases, a course of antibiotics can reduce the risk. In the UAE research of more than 600 patients with and without prostate cancer, the study found the urine bacteria in those men who had prostate cancer. The prostate is attached to a man's urinary tract. The theory is that either undiagnosed infections are leading to prostate cancer as we see in stomach cancers or that if you have prostate cancer your body is less able to the remove bacteria. Experts are waiting to see ...

Cervical radiofrequency ablation is an alternative to surgery when you have headaches or pain related to cervical spine changes. The procedure involves damaging nerves that are transmitting pain signals to your brain. A healthcare professional should help you fully evaluate the risks and benefits of this procedure. Keep reading to find out if cervical radiofrequency ablations could help you find pain relief. Cervical radiofrequency ablations treat chronic neck pain and headaches due to changes in the cervical spine, according to 2021 research . The cervical spine is the topmost part of the spine and contains the first seven vertebrae. These vertebrae support your head and neck. Changes to the typical makeup of the structures in and around the vertebrae can cause a specific headache type called a cervicogenic headache. An estimated 4.1 percent of the population experiences this headache type, with the average age of onset around 43. Cervicogenic headaches can be difficult for a doctor t...

Coughing is a socially awkward symptom, particularly since the COVID pandemic hit. The problem is, coughing may persist for weeks or months after the infection has gone. Around 2.5% of people are still coughing a year after being infected with COVID. A recurrent cough can undermine your capacity to work, leave you with medical bills, and prompt a withdrawal from social situations because you don't want others to fear you're spreading COVID. As a GP, I have patients ask whether there's anything that can fix their post-COVID cough. Here's how I answer. What causes a COVID cough? It's not surprising COVID causes a cough, because the virus affects our respiratory tract, from our nasal passages right down to our lungs. Coughing is one of the body's ways of getting rid of unwanted irritants such as viruses, dust and mucus. When something "foreign" is detected in the respiratory tract, a reflex is triggered to cause a cough, which shou...

Geneticist Aida Andrades (r) and archaeologist Javier Fernández Eraso in El Sotillo dolmen in Álava. J. Fernández The oldest case of the bubonic plague in Western Europe has been identified in a body buried more than 3,300 years ago in Spain's Basque Country. The man's skeleton was found in Álava province in a dolmen called El Sotillo. The family tomb also held the remains of 12 other people, as well as a large assortment of burial offerings including arrowheads, knives and metal axes and 1,000-year-old stone carvings. The finding raises many questions about the origins of a disease that would go on to cause the worst pandemic in history. According to a genetic analysis of a tooth from the body, the variant of the plague that killed the victim had already developed the ability to infect fleas. The Yersinia pestis bacterium forms a kind of ball in the mouth of the stomach of the flea, which feeds on the blood of animals and humans. This bacterial ball causes the flea to vomit u...

Seizures occur when there is a misfiring, or malfunctioning signal in the electrical system of your brain. This signal disrupts your normal brain function, and can have effects like impaired movements or loss of consciousness. There are several types of seizures, and everyone can have different experiences with them. People with recurrent seizures are diagnosed with a condition called epilepsy. Seizures can be a dangerous medical condition, especially if you don't know when one is coming. You could fall, or be in an unsafe situation — like driving — when a seizure strikes. Fortunately, many people who experience seizures have warning signs that one is coming. These signs occur during the prodrome or aura phase of a seizure, which can precede the attack. Seizures occur in stages for most people. Usually, there are four stages, and they are: prodrome aura ictal post-ictal The prodrome and the aura typically occur just before or at the start of a seizure, and signs vary from person to...

The most common vector-borne disease in the northern hemisphere is Lyme disease, caused by the spirochete bacteria Borrelia Burgdorferi [1-3]. Lyme disease is a multistage and multisystem disease mainly affecting but not limited to the skin, joints, heart, and nervous system. The clinical presentation varies with the disease stage. The neurological manifestation collectively known as Lyme neuroborreliosis is reported in up to 12% of patients with Lyme disease [4]. Severe hyponatremia due to Lyme neuroborreliosis is rare, and only a few case reports have been written in literature [5-9]. However, the varying presentation, especially without the classic "bull's eye" or erythema migran rash, makes it difficult to diagnose Lyme disease. We present a rare case of a female patient with refractory hyponatremia, lumbar radiculopathy, and cerebellar dysfunction symptoms. A 58-year-old female with a past medical history of hypertension and anxiety p...
