  Candida auris is a new “urgent threat” to human health that has been making headlines in recent years. This deadly fungal infection has been causing concern among health experts due to its resistance to most anti-fungal drugs and the high mortality rates associated with the infection. In this article, we will take a closer look at what Candida auris is, how it spreads, and what experts are saying about this emerging health threat. What is Candida Auris? Candida auris is a species of yeast that was first identified in 2009. It is one of the few fungal infections that can cause serious infections in humans. This fungus can cause bloodstream infections, wound infections, and ear infections, among others. What makes Candida auris particularly dangerous is its resistance to most anti-fungal drugs. How Does Candida Auris Spread? Candida auris can spread through contact with contaminated surfaces or equipment in healthcare settings, such as hospitals and nursing homes. It can also spread fr

  Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious infectious disease that affects the lungs and can also spread to other parts of the body. Despite being a preventable and treatable disease, TB has remained a major public health problem globally. According to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), TB cases in the United States have rebounded to near pre-pandemic levels. This is a concerning trend that highlights the need for continued efforts to control and eliminate TB. TB in the US TB has been on the decline in the United States since the 1990s, largely due to improvements in public health measures, including effective treatment and preventive measures. However, the recent data from the CDC shows that TB cases in the US have rebounded to near pre-pandemic levels. In 2020, there were 8,778 reported TB cases in the US, which is only a slight decrease from the 9,025 cases reported in 2019. This rebound in TB cases is particularly concerning because it comes at a time when

  While there are many factors that can contribute to the development of UTIs, recent studies suggest that eating meat may be a significant risk factor. What is a UTI? A UTI is an infection that affects any part of the urinary system, including the bladder, ureters, kidneys, and urethra. , which are commonly found in the digestive system. When bacteria from the gut travel up the urethra and into the urinary tract, they can cause an infection. Symptoms of a UTI include: Pain or burning during urination Frequent urination Urgency to urinate Cloudy or strong-smelling urine Blood in the urine Pain or pressure in the lower abdomen or back UTIs can be serious if left untreated, and may lead to kidney damage or sepsis in severe cases. If you suspect you have a UTI, it's important to seek medical attention. The link between meat and UTIs Several recent studies have suggested that eating meat may be a risk factor for developing UTIs. One study published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Co

As humans, we are wired to crave food. But for some of us, this craving can become overpowering, leading to excessive weight gain and even obesity. In recent years, scientists have discovered that the brain plays a significant role in regulating food intake, and that changes in the brain’s synaptic plasticity may be responsible for the development of obesity and metabolic disorders. What is synaptic plasticity, you may ask? Synaptic plasticity is the ability of neurons to modify the strength of their connections in response to activity or experience. This process is critical for learning and memory and is believed to be involved in the regulation of food intake and energy expenditure. Researchers have found that changes in synaptic plasticity in different brain regions may contribute to the development of obesity and metabolic disorders. For example, a high-fat diet can impair synaptic plasticity in the hypothalamus, a brain region that plays a key role in regulating food intake and

This is according to a new study published in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases. While the most common cause of UTIs is the bacterium Escherichia coli (E. coli), the study found that other bacteria, such as Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae), may be contributing to the problem. The study analyzed data from a national survey of UTI cases in the US. The researchers found that up to 69% of UTIs caused by E. faecalis and K. pneumoniae were associated with the consumption of contaminated meat. This suggests that meat may be an important source of these bacteria. E. faecalis and K. pneumoniae are both common bacteria found in the intestines of animals, including cows, pigs, and chickens. These bacteria can contaminate meat during processing and can survive cooking, which means they can be present in meat that is not properly handled or cooked. While E. coli remains the most common cause of UTIs, the study's findings suggest that other bac
