non bacterial epididymitis :: Article Creator Swollen And Painful Crown Jewels Dear Dr. G, I am a fit and healthy man in my early thirties. I recently encountered some issues with my testicles, and really hope you can help. I started noticing slight discomfort in my left scrotum a fortnight ago, when urinating. Over the last few days, it has swollen to double its size and the pain has caused much concern. It is also painful every time I urinate and have a mild fever. I think I may have caught some infection somewhere, but am just really puzzled how I got it. I am too embarrassed to tell anyone about the "lopsided" painful crown jewel. Can you tell me what can possibly be wrong with my testicles? Is it normal to have the swelling of the testicles progressing so fast? Can the testicles really get infected? What are the possible causes of swellings in the crown jewels? The swelling of the testicle tends to get bigger a...

hcv vaccine :: Article Creator Experts Tackle Misunderstandings About Hep C Treatment In 2016, Maia Hughes decided to begin recovery after 13 years of substance abuse. But it wasn't only substance use disorder she needed to address. She had also tested positive for hepatitis C, a virus that spreads through blood. "I know some people that use drugs [intravenously] that are very careful — only use clean syringes, new supplies," Hughes says. "I didn't. I was so far into my addiction that I didn't really care. If I was sick, it didn't matter. I would use whatever syringe because I didn't want to be sick." She believes she knows the occasion when she contracted the virus. Hughes waited until two years into her recovery to start treatment for the virus. "I already felt enough guilt and shame around using and still struggling with a lot of self-worth and embarrassment from 13 years of all that I had done,...

polio outbreak 1952 :: Article Creator The Worst Outbreaks In U.S. History The U.S. Has experienced many outbreaks over the last few centuries. These includes three waves of cholera and the 2020 spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. An epidemic is defined by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a sudden increase in the number of cases of an infectious disease within a community or geographic area during a specific time period. A spike in the number of cases of the same illness in an area beyond what health officials expect to see is an outbreak. The terms may be used interchangeably, though epidemics are often considered more widespread. Over the years, many outbreaks of infectious diseases have occurred and spread across the United States. Smallpox came to North America in the 1600s. Symptoms included high fever, chills, severe back pain, and rashes. It began in the Northeast and the Native American population was ra...

sabin inactivated polio vaccine :: Article Creator Some Hoped A New Oral Vaccine Would Solve All The Polio Campaign's Problems. Reality Is Settling In When a new and hoped-to-be safer oral polio vaccine started to make its way into use in March 2021, there was huge optimism that this long-needed tool would help the polio eradication campaign quell a growing problem that was — and is still — complicating efforts to stamp out polio forever. Two years later, expectations surrounding the new vaccine, known as novel oral polio vaccine type 2, or nOPV2 for short, are moderating a bit. It has since become clear it is a safe and effective tool, one that is much less likely to give rise to the aforementioned problem, in which live viruses used in an earlier type of oral vaccine overcame genetic changes made to weaken them, and in the process acquired the capacity to on rare occasions paralyze child...
