Signs of STD

The golden age of low inflation and gently sinking bond yields made many a humdrum investor latching on to basic stock market indices look like a genius. We are starting to see how it made central bankers look like superheroes too. Cast your mind back to July 2012. The eurozone's government bond market was in a mess, with Greece at the centre and ripples lapping at any other member state seen as fiscally shaky. Generally sober people, not given to hyperbole, were starting to wonder whether the common currency could survive the crisis intact. Enter Mario Draghi, the then still new-ish president of the European Central Bank. On a trip to London, he uttered a now famous phrase, saying that he and the ECB would do "whatever it takes" to save the euro. Those three little words were enough to douse the fire. Sure, the road ahead was bumpy, but the market trusted the former Goldman Sachs banker, who had a certain way with words and a knack for getting traders and investors to do...

Due to public misconception, AIDS and HIV were confused as just one affliction. However, they are not the same and those with HIV do not always have AIDS. HIV is a virus or a small infectious agent passed from one person to another. AIDS, on the other hand, is a syndrome or a group of connected symptoms that is caused by the damage that HIV does to your immune system. AIDS or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome describes a number of potentially life-threatening infections and illnesses caused by HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), a virus that attacks the body's immune system. The virus damages the cells in the infected person's immune system and weakens his or her ability to fight the disease or infection. There is no effective cure for HIV. Those who are infected with it, have it for life. However, with more medical care, the virus can be controlled. Those who get effective HIV treatment can live long and healthy lives. On the occasion of World AIDS Day, here is a look at the ...

What Is Zelapar? Zelapar (selegiline) is a pill taken by mouth to treat Parkinson's disease in people who are already being treated with Sinemet (carbidopa and levodopa) but are not responding well enough to it. Zelapar is meant to be used in addition to Sinemet. Selegiline is part of a drug class called monoamine oxidase inhibitors, or MAOIs. It works by inhibiting monoamine oxidase, which is an enzyme that breaks down dopamine. This leads to higher dopamine levels in the brain, which improves Parkinson's symptoms. Selegiline is a prescription product, so you can't purchase it over the counter (OTC). You'll receive a prescription from your healthcare provider and get the medication from your pharmacy. Selegiline is also available as a transdermal patch (worn on the skin) under the brand name Emsam. This article will focus on the oral version of selegiline. Drug Facts Generic Name : Selegiline Brand Name : Zelapar Drug Availabi...

Most people with chlamydia have no symptoms. For this reason, it often goes undiagnosed and untreated. Infection with the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis causes chlamydia. It spreads through oral, vaginal, or anal sexual contact. Semen does not have to be present for chlamydia to pass between two people. Chlamydia can also pass to an infant during childbirth. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) , about 10% of males and 5–30% of females diagnosed with chlamydia develop symptoms. Symptoms can be different in males and females. General symptoms include: In males, symptoms also include: In females: In females, the bacteria can also cause cervicitis, an infection of the cervix. Symptoms of cervicitis may include discharge and bleeding, usually after sexual intercourse or any irritation of the cervix. Further infection can spread into the reproductive system and cause PID. Symptoms of PID include abdominal and pelvic pain. PID can lead to tubo-ovarian abscess a...

Many of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are typically identified by a handful of common symptoms. Herpes, for example, frequently causes genital warts and bumps around the mouth or genitals. But sometimes, STDs cause less obvious and lesser-known symptoms. One of these often unrecognized symptoms is dry skin. Indeed, dry skin may be one sign that you have an STD. Frequently, "STD" is used interchangeably with the term sexually transmitted infection (STI), but they're different. STIs are infections that can develop into STDs. As an example, human papillomavirus (HPV) is an STI, unless it leads to genital warts or cervical cancer, which are STDs. In this article, we'll primarily discuss dry skin that's caused by STDs. We'll also look at some key STIs and their connection to dry skin. Dry skin is a common symptom of a number of conditions, from allergies and psoriasis to STDs. Any patch of dry skin you develop isn't necessarily a sign you...

If you have a sick kid at home, this is something you may already know all too well: The country is facing shortages of Children's Tylenol and other medicines. Flu season has hit early, combined with a spike in COVID, respiratory infections and other viruses, it's a perfect storm, said Sterling Elliott, a clinical pharmacist and a professor at Northwestern University. "The symptoms are the same regardless of what the actual bug is that's causing the problem," said Elliot. It means people are reaching for the same medications, so manufacturers are running short and some stores are limiting purchases. The limits are to avoid panic buying, according to Hui Zhao, who researches pharmaceutical supply chains at Penn State. "So, once people feel like, 'Oh this must be on shortage,' and they rush to buy more," she said. Drug shortages are usually either a supply or a demand problem, and "this one seemingly to ...

The exact pathophysiology of CIH is unclear, and several possible mechanisms have been suggested. Clozapine is an agonist at the muscarinic (M 4 ) receptor; and an antagonist at the adrenergic receptors (alpha 1 and alpha 2 ), dopamine receptors (D 1 -D 5 ), histamine receptor (H 1 ), muscarinic receptors (M 1 -M 3 and M 5 ), and serotonin receptors (5-HT 2 and 5-HT 4 ). The alpha 2 antagonistic and M 4 -muscarinic agonist effects of clozapine can stimulate salivation, however, its anticholinergic effects can reduce the secretion of saliva [14]. Medications with various pharmacological actions have been proposed to manage CIH, such as centrally acting alpha 2 -adrenoceptor agonists (e.g. clonidine, lofexidine), anticholinergics (e.g. hyoscine hydrobromide, atropine 1% drops, pirenzepine), and substitute benzamide derivatives (e.g. amisulpride, sulpiride, metoclopramide) [15,16,17,18]. There is no licensed medication for CIH and treatment recommendations are limited by the insuffici...

Dr. Anthony Fauci testified last week he couldn't recall that a major study published in an influential medical journal was retracted after it erroneously found that hydroxychloroquine was ineffective and potentially harmful in treating COVID-19 and couldn't remember the names or details of other studies he leaned on to back his claim that the drug was ineffective. Fauci, White House chief medical adviser and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was deposed under oath by state GOP attorneys general Eric Schmitt and Jeff Landry as part of their lawsuit against the Biden administration.  The two AGs have accused top-ranking government officials of working with Twitter, YouTube and Meta, which owns Facebook, to censor viewpoints on COVID that went against the Biden administration's position. On Monday, Schmitt released a full transcript of the deposition, which revealed Fauci said he based his claim hydroxychloroquin...
