fungal infection in buttocks :: Article Creator What Is Jock Itch? Jock itch, or tinea cruris, is a common fungal infection that affects the groin area. It is caused by a group of fungi called dermatophytes, which thrive in warm, moist environments. Jock itch causes a red, itchy, scaly rash on the groin folds that can spread to the inner thighs and buttocks. Treatment, including over-the-counter antifungal medicines and self-care measures, can treat most infections. More severe or persistent cases may need prescription antifungal medications.

fungus behind ear :: Article Creator Deadly Fungus In Dogs' Ears Could Infect Humans: 'We Need To Be Vigilant' Your sweet little pooch might be hiding a deadly secret from you. Scientists have discovered a drug-resistant fungus called Candida auris, and it came from the ear canals of dogs. The fungus is a serious concern as some strains aren't deterred by anti-fungal medicines used to treat other Candida infections, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The recent finding — discovered in the ears of four stray dogs in India — is especially alarming because it means man's best friend could transmit the fungus to humans. Some medical experts estimate that more than 1 in 3 patients with serious C. Auris infections will die, according to a news release. The World Health Organization has declared C.

medicare lung cancer screening :: Article Creator Why Lung Cancer Screenings Work And Who Should Be Screened Each year, Aug. 1 is World Lung Cancer Day to raise awareness about lung cancer issues. This article will focus on the importance of detecting lung cancer at an early state, when it's more likely to be treated. It is estimated that nearly 238,000 Americans will be stricken with lung cancer this year. Lung cancer is the second most common cancer and leading cause of death from cancer. Screening, a test to check for a disease in someone who does not have any symptoms, is appropriate for some people who are in high-risk categories. Currently, lung cancer screening is covered by most insurance plans for a specific high-risk population once a year. The screening guidelines for those at high risk for lung cancer are: age 50-80 (Medicare part B currently covers ages 50-77); a current smoker or quit smoking within the last 15 years; and 20 pa...

1 bacteria in urine :: Article Creator They Discover Bacteria In The Urine That Could Predict The Risk Of Aggressive Prostate Cancer A scientific team from the University of East Anglia, in the United Kingdom, identified in the urine of a group of men a number of bacteria that are linked to a very aggressive type of prostate cancer. Research opens the door to developing a new type of detection of serious tumors with a urinalysis. The work was published in the journal European Urology Oncology. According to the study, experts analyzed more than 600 patients with and without prostate cancer, to evaluate the usefulness of a bacterial urine test. This allowed them to identify 5 types of bacteria that repeated in different samples and tissue from men with cancer types that later became aggressive. These are bacteria capable of growing without oxygen. Specialists revealed that some of these microorganisms were new, never found before. The discover...
