Hey so I was at a bonfire about two days ago, and I had to go get wood from the pile that s been there for at least a year. 2-4 Hours later my leg had afew big red splotches with dark dots in the middle and was itchy and felt hot with rashes surrounding the areas. At about the same time I started to get really feverish, with cold sweats and dizziness and I was just exhausted. Once the redness went down with some ice and a mild tourniquet I was left with big pimples not quite blisters that are really tender. I think they re getting bigger

We propose a refined version of the stochastic SEIR model for epidemic of the new corona virus SARS-Cov-2, causing the COVID-19 disease, taking into account the spread of the virus due to the regular infected individuals (transmission coefficient ß ), hospitalized individuals (transmission coefficient l ß , l > 0 ) and superspreaders (transmission coefficient ß ' ). The model is constructed from the corresponding ordinary differential model by introducing two independent environmental white noises in transmission coefficients for above mentioned classes - one noise for infected and hospitalized individuals and the other for superspreaders. Therefore, the model is defined as a system of stochastic differential equations driven by two independent standard Brownian motions. Existence and uniqueness of the global positive solution is proven, and conditions under which extinction and persistence in mean hold are given. The theoretical results are illustrated via numerical simulations.

After sleeping at night... I wake up with pain in my back. The pain feels like it is inside my body if that makes sense. It is really hard to describe. Basically, my back is sore and everything inside feels like it is getting crushed. Once I walk around for a 15 min or so the pain goes away. I have had this since my son was about 3months.

About 2 weeks ago, my 2 year old son slept until about 3pm, woke up, ate a little and then went back to sleep from 4 until 7. The next day he seemed fine, so I figured he was just tired. Then a week later, He developed a fever that reached abot 101 degrees (axillary). He also had what appeared to be a diaper rash and was irritable and tired for a couple of days. We gave him tylenol, treated the diaper rash and let him rest and this seemed to resolve within 48 hours. Then five days later, we noticed what appeared to be hives all over his body and face. So, we took him to a doctor and they diagnosed him with strep throat. We started antibiotics that night (Thursday). On Saturday morning, my husband said that he felt warm to the touch, but never took his temp. He just gave him Tylenol and the antibiotic. He also noticed that his gait seemed a little funny and he was crying and irritable when he woke up from his nap. This morning, Sunday, I called the doctor s office because I was concerned about rheumatic fever or some other complication of strep or something being missed altogether. The doctor finally called back this evening and stated that he was doubtful that it could be rheumatic fever but agreed to see him again tomorrow. The latest development this evening is that my son does not want to bear weight on his legs. He will not come to me when called and he only wants to sit, crawl, or be carried. When I tried to stand him up, he cried. Otherwise, his temperament is normal, he s eating and drinking and in good spirits. Do you have any ideas? Thanks, Lynette

We implement Epstein-Nesbet perturbative corrections in the third-order for the initiator approximation of the configuration space quantum Monte Carlo. An improved sampling algorithm is proposed to address the stochastic noise of the corrections. The stochastic error for the perturbative corrections is considerably larger than that for the reference energy, and it fails to provide reasonable results unless a very long imaginary time integration is performed. The new sampling algorithm accumulates rejected walkers from multiple independent steps to cover a larger portion of the secondary space. The performance of the perturbative corrections is demonstrated for small molecules.

I have recently been seeing several doctors over the last 8 mothts due to some odd symptoms, one pupil was VERY dialated and the other was fine. I saw a Neurologist, had the CT Scan and the MRI, and a battery of blood tests (including the one for siphilys) Everything came out clear except that my ANA was abmormally high. I was then sent to a rheumatologist who did another blood test and seems to think I may have Lupus, but it is not conclusive. I am in Wait and See mode and have had a few things pop up and I m not sure if it is connected to the Lupus possiblitiy? or is it something else that I should get checked out? or am I over sensitive to symptoms because of the possibility of Lupus? I m now having cronic lower back pain that is worse in the morning and gets a little better as I move through the day (I ve been taking advil), aslo when I m lying in bed and move to look above my head, I feel a painful pressure in my head that goes away once I lie flat and I have been putting on a little more weight than normal for me. I d appreciate your opionion.

I've known my father in law for over 30 years. At first he was a jerk, thought it was funny to insult and belittle people, particularly his wife. For the last 8 years or so he started mellowing, being nice to people, being attentive and helpful to his wife and so on. A few weeks ago they found a tumor growing between his skull and the membrane surrounding the brain. It was on the right side of his head, about the size of a lemon. He had surgery five days ago and returned home yesterday. Now he's back being an ass again. Is this common? To revert back to a previous personality? Is it temporary?

Q:A 63-year-old woman is brought to the emergency department because of severe abdominal pain and vomiting for the past 3 hours. She reports previous episodes of abdominal pain that lasted for 10–15 minutes and resolved with antacids. She lives with her daughter and grandchildren. She divorced her husband last year. She is alert and oriented. Her temperature is 37.3°C (99.1°F), the pulse is 134/min, and the blood pressure is 90/70 mm Hg. The abdomen is rigid and diffusely tender. Guarding and rebound tenderness is present. The rectal examination shows a collapsed rectum. Infusion of 0.9% saline is begun, and a CT of the abdomen shows intestinal perforation. The surgeon discusses with the patient the need for emergent exploratory laparotomy and she agrees to the surgery. Written informed consent is obtained. While in the holding area awaiting emergent transport to the operating room, she calls for the surgeon and informs him that she no longer wants the surgery. He explains to her the risks of not performing the surgery and she indicates that she understands, but is adamant about not proceeding with surgery. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in management?? {'A': 'Cancel the surgery', 'B': 'Consult the hospital’s ethics committee', 'C': 'Continue with the emergency life-saving surgery', 'D': "Obtain consent from the patient's daughter", 'E': 'Wait until the patient is unconscious, then proceed with surgery'},

PURPOSE: China was affected by an outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in 2019-2020. Research data are needed to develop evidence-driven strategies to reduce the adverse psychological and occupational impacts on healthcare workers (HCWs). METHODS: From March 1, 2020, to March 8, 2020, 946 HCWs in China completed a survey consist of sociodemographic data, precautionary measures against COVID-19, and concerns about COVID-19. Self-administered questionnaire were collected to assess psychological and occupational adverse outcomes of HCWs. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with the outcomes. RESULTS: A total of 55.0%, 56.0% and 48.3% of the HCWs experienced burnout, psychological distress and posttraumatic stress, respectively. A total of seven factors were independently associated with burnout: good health status (OR 0.51, 95% CI 0.36-0.71), fear of contagion (OR 1.31, 95% CI 1.003-1.79), avoiding contact with children (OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.03-1.91), enough staff support at the workplace (OR 0.59, 95% CI 0.38-0.92), having to work overtime (OR 1.37, 95% CI 1.03-1.83), maladaptive coping (OR 3.28, 95% CI 2.42-4.45) and adaptive coping (OR 0.47, 95% CI 0.35-0.62). A total of 11 factors were independently associated with high psychological distress: having one child (OR 0.54, 95% CI 0.38-0.77), good health status (OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.39-0.83), alcohol abuse (OR 1.51, 95% CI 1.02-2.25), thinking the epidemic would continue for quite a long time (OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.08-2.34), wearing extra-work clothes (OR 1.51, 95% CI 1.06-2.15),effective protective equipment (OR 0.45, 95% CI 0.22-0.90), enough staff support at the workplace (OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.34-0.89), unable to take care of families (OR 1.99, 95% CI 1.42-2.78), economic losses (OR 1.62, 95% CI 1.14-2.31), maladaptive coping (OR 6.88, 95% CI 4.75-9.97),and adaptive coping (OR 0.29, 95% CI 0.21-0.41). These factors were independently associated with posttraumatic stress: living with the elderly (OR 1.46, 95% CI 1.04-2.05), alcohol abuse (OR 1.41, 95% CI 1.002-1.98), working at a 3A hospital(OR 0.66, 95% CI 0.49-0.88), acquaintances confirmed COVID-19 (OR 2.14, 95% CI 1.20-3.84), fear of contagion (OR 1.87, 95% CI 1.40-2.50), believing they would survive if infected (OR 0.63, 95% CI 0.46-0.86), self-disinfected after arriving home (OR 1.43, 95% CI 1.01-2.02), interpersonal isolation (OR 1.65, 95% CI 1.21-2.26), unable to take care of families (OR 1.41, 95% CI 1.05-1.88) and maladaptive coping (OR 3.09, 95% CI 2.32-4.11). CONCLUSION: The variance in adverse outcomes was explained by the effect of various factors, which will help policymakers better prepare for subsequent potential outbreaks of COVID-19.

I FORGOT TO MENTION IN MY YESTERDAY'S QUERY THAT MY ECG AND PULSE COMES OUT NORMAL.I am a female of 48 years age . At times my hands start trembling and I get the feeling as if my heart is running very fast. This happens only for a few moments and I become alright in a couple of minutes. I have normal BP and Thyroid. However blood sugar fasting remains around 110 to 117 since last 10 years and PP sugar is always in normal range. My mind gets triggered to a depressive stage very fast to a level wher I try to commit suicide. Have tried atleast 20 times in the last 20 years but was counselled and saved by husband. My friends consider me very sweet and humble but I start getting extremely negative thoughts as soon as I hear someone even routinely commenting adverse remarks regarding me. These thoughts keep building up leading to a stage where I want to commit suicide. So I have 2 problems - 1. My hands tremble at times (2-3 times a year) with feeling of my heart running like a vehicle engine. 2. Getting emotional triggers leading to suicidal tendencies. - from India

Abstract Exposure of carbohydrate-binding agents (CBAs) (i.e. the mannose-specific plant lectins Hippeastrum hybrid agglutinin and Galanthus nivalis agglutinin) to HIV-1 progressively select for mutant HIV-1 strains that contain N-glycan deletions in their envelope gp120. This results in resistance of the mutant virus strains to the CBAs. Exposure of such mutant virus strains to the α(1,2)-mannosidase I inhibitor 1-deoxymannojirimycin (DMJ) results in an enhanced suppression of mutant virus-induced cytopathicity in CEM cell cultures. Moreover, when combined with CBAs at concentrations that showed poor if any suppression of mutant virus replication as single drugs, a synergistic antiviral activity of DMJ was observed. These observations argue for a combined exposure of CBAs and glycosylation inhibitors such as DMJ to HIV to afford a more pronounced suppression of virus replication, prior to, or during, CBA resistance development.

But the last cavity I removed, the tooth was so damaged but my doctor kept on drilling as much as he could and he put the dental filling right next to the tooth nerve saying that the tooth is still alive. I did these two days ago. All was fine until now when the tooth gave me one minute of pure pain when I drank cold milk. Please tell me what to do. Thanks in advance.

BACKGROUND: Transmissible gastroenteritis coronavirus (TGEV) is an enteropathogenic coronavirus that causes diarrhea in pigs, which is correlated with high morbidity and mortality in suckling piglets. Information remains limited about the comparative protein expression of host cells in response to TGEV infection. In this study, cellular protein response to TGEV infection in swine testes (ST) cells was analyzed, using the proteomic method of two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D DIGE) coupled with MALDI-TOF-TOF/MS identification. RESULTS: 33 differentially expressed protein spots, of which 23 were up-regulated and 10 were down-regulated were identified. All the protein spots were successfully identified. The identified proteins were involved in the regulation of essential processes such as cellular structure and integrity, RNA processing, protein biosynthesis and modification, vesicle transport, signal transduction, and the mitochondrial pathway. Western blot analysis was used to validate the changes of alpha tubulin, keratin 19, and prohibitin during TGEV infection. CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge, we have performed the first analysis of the proteomic changes in host cell during TGEV infection. 17 altered cellular proteins that differentially expressed in TGEV infection were identified. The present study provides protein-related information that should be useful for understanding the host cell response to TGEV infection and the underlying mechanism of TGEV replication and pathogenicity.

Hi, I am 24 years old, non smoker, female. 3days ago, I started to feel air bubble in my left chest ( between 2nd and 3rd rib, not lateral part, just close to sternum). I am also a junior doctor and so I auscultate myself and I found out that at the end of deep inspiration, I heard musical sound like rhonchi, not sure though. But it doesn t happen all the time, but often. For the past medical history, I took anti TB last year. What can it be? Please reply me. I am worried!

I have had a broken wisdom tooth for about 3 months and it has been hurting pretty bad for about 2 months now. Well in the past month it has started to smell, probably from decay im guessing, but the gums around the tooth have become sore and swollen in the last few days and the tooth itself wiggles when i touch it as if it is going to fall out. I know it wont just fall out, and i have contacted a dentist, but they havent got back to me as it is the weekend. Can this kill me if not taken care of right away, or am I at risk for any life threatening problems?

Measures to contain the global COVID-19 pandemic led to stay-at-home orders across the world, accompanied by fears of a global surge in intimate partner violence (IPV). We administered an online general-population survey to 1169 women and transgender/nonbinary individuals throughout the state of Michigan in June–August 2020 to assess changes in the prevalence, severity, and correlates of IPV during the COVID-19 pandemic. Quota sampling was used to match the racial/ethnic and urban/rural distribution of the state. More than one in seven (15.1%) participants reported physical, sexual, psychological, or technology-facilitated IPV since COVID, similar to the prevalence in the 3 months before COVID (16.2%). However, there were indications that IPV severity increased and that novel cases of IPV are occurring in relationships that previously had no abuse. A majority (64.2%) of individuals who experienced IPV since COVID reported that the IPV was new to the relationship (34.1%) or of increased severity during COVID-19 (26.6%), representing 9.7% of the overall sample. New or increased IPV was significantly more prevalent among those who were essential workers, pregnant, unable to afford rent, unemployed/underemployed or had recent changes to their job, had partners with recent changes to employment, and those who had gotten tested or tested positive for COVID-19. Urban residence, trans/nonbinary identity, and having a toddler were more strongly associated with IPV during COVID as compared to before COVID. While findings do not support significant changes in the overall prevalence of IPV, the majority of survivors reported incident IPV in relationships that had not previously been abusive, or IPV that became more severe since the start of the pandemic. Cases of new or increased IPV were more concentrated in marginalized groups. Potential touchpoints for outreach and services during future lockdowns include prenatal and pediatric settings, daycares, employers of essential workers, and COVID-19 testing centers. Policies providing rental, childcare, and unemployment support may mitigate increases in IPV during COVID-19.

Hi doctor, I got a complete panel and RNA PCR tests after 53 days of unprotected vaginal sex. The results were negative, except HSV-1 was reactive. So, I went to meet my doctor with the reports, who told me to get an HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibody fourth generation test. The results were negative again. But, I feel my body hot, burning, testicular pain, and I have red dots on my tongue. Are my results conclusive? Please answer my question. I am very anxious.

Doctor I am engaged to a man that gets no errection after all he had 2 major back operations before. He told me about not getting any errection at all when we started dating and I thought then it is fine and that it is not important. But as I am now in my 40s I realise that I have this sexual desire and it is getting more. I do not want it to be a problem for us as I love him very much. But for me this desire is sometimes getting out of hand(control) And I do not want to loose him. What can I do to help him? As he will not go to a doctor to speak about it?

BACKGROUND: Herbs are commonly used to treat cardiovascular diseases in various traditional medicine. On the other hand, herb-drug interactions are most commonly encountered with conventional antiplatelet and anticoagulant drug prescriptions. This review presents a compilation of plants investigated for antiplatelet and anticoagulation recently and enumerates their possible lead compounds responsible for its action for paving further drug discovery and knowledge update. MAIN BODY OF THE ABSTRACT: Information about the herbs was withdrawn from the PubMed database of the previous 5 years. We also hand-searched the bibliography of relevant articles for the acquisition of additional information. About 72 herbal sources were identified with the effect of antiplatelet activity, antithrombotic activity, and anticoagulant activity. Bioactive compounds and various secondary metabolites responsible for it, such as alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, coumarins, polyphenols, furan derivatives, iridoid glycosides, sesquiterpenes, aporphine compounds, were reported. CONCLUSION: Newer pharmacological moieties are needed to prevent or reduce the adverse effects of current anti-thrombotic agents and to improve the safety of patients and cost-effectiveness.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an ongoing public health emergency and new knowledge about its immunopathogenic mechanisms is deemed necessary in the attempt to reduce the death burden around the world. For the first time in worldwide literature, we provide scientific evidence that in COVID-19 vasculitis a life-threatening escalation from type 2 T-helper immune response (humoral immunity) to type 3 hypersensitivity (immune complex disease) takes place. The subsequent deposition of immune complexes inside the vascular walls is supposed to induce a severe inflammatory state and a cytokine release syndrome, whose interleukin-6 is the key myokine, from the smooth muscle cells of blood vessels.
