Bubonic Plague Symptoms

In a sea of symptom checkers, startup K Health takes a slightly different approach. In addition to asking questions to try to narrow down a user's symptoms, it also compares their results to similar patient cases. For example, it could compare people who went to the doctor for a headache with a similar medical history, who were ultimately diagnosed with a migraine, co-founder and chief product officer Ran Shaul explained in an interview. "You are narrowing down your condition to a group of people, and we provide a way for you to look at those cohorts of people and their experience," he said. This information is based on a large dataset the company acquired from Israel-based managed care organization Maccabi Health Care. Now, K Health has struck another partnership with Mayo Clinic's Data Analytics Platform. Through this partnership, K Health will provide support tools to Mayo Clinic's patients and physicians. It will also have access to de-identified da...

Some people with COVID-19 experience neck pain, soreness, and stiffness. In some cases, neck pain can be a persistent symptom of long COVID. Muscle pain is one of the most common symptoms of COVID-19. It is usually mild and will go away in a few days, but rarely, it may signal a serious complication, such as meningitis. COVID-19 symptoms vary from person to person and will depend on whether someone has received vaccinations, which strain of COVID-19 they have, and whether they have any other health conditions.

Originating in China in the 1300s, plague arrived in Europe aboard a ship, bringing fearsome death in its wake. The Black Death ravaged Europe between 1347 and 1351, carrying away at least a third of its population, about 25 to 30 million people. The black buboes or black and swollen lymph nodes of plague victims gave the disease its name. Throughout the medieval period and well into the 17th century, localized outbreaks kept decimating populations in Europe. Desperate medieval plague times called for desperate plague cures. The bubonic plague is caused by Yersinia pestis bacteria carried by rodent fleas. But this was not known until 1894. Thus, in medieval Europe plague outbreaks were attributed to a variety of causes, some sort of scientific, some religious, and some that were just weird! In equal measure, the strange plague cures and preventions were absurd and revolting. They are unlikely to have done the sufferers any good; the majority, in fact, are likely to have caused harm. ...

An outbreak of the bubonic plague in China has led to worry that the "Black Death" could make a significant return. But experts say the disease isn't nearly as deadly as it was, thanks to antibiotics. The disease pops up every year in multiple countries including the U.S. Health authorities in China have identified a new case of the bubonic plague, the disease that triggered the "Black Death" pandemic back in the mid-1300s. The new case, which was confirmed on July 5, was found in a herdsman living in the northern city of Bayannur.

Andrii Parkhomenko, University of Southern California and Eunjee Kwon, University of Cincinnati The Research Brief is a short take about interesting academic work. The big idea If companies allowed more of their employees to permanently work from home, businesses would gravitate toward city centers, while people would primarily live in the periphery, resulting in less traffic congestion and falling real estate prices downtown. Those are our main findings from a model we created to forecast pandemic-driven changes in Los Angeles. Many of these changes were beginning to happen back in the spring of 2020, when we began this research. We wanted to build a model that could show the effects of more widespread telecommuting over a long period of time post-pandemic.

Virtual companies provide jobs to workers, while virtual real estate developers provide...

Sternum pain is pain or discomfort in the area of the chest that contains the sternum and the cartilage connecting it to the ribs. The sternum is located near the heart, so many people experiencing sternum pain may confuse it with more general chest pain. Some people experiencing sternum pain worry they may be having a heart attack. However, in most cases, sternum pain is unrelated to the heart and caused primarily due to problems with the sternum itself or the nearby cartilage. In this article, learn about the causes of sternum pain and the differences between sternum pain and heart problems. The sternum is sometimes known as the breastbone.
