Women in their reproductive years are most likely to get bacterial vaginosis, but it can affect women of any age (CDC, 2019). Learn more about it and how it is treated.

While some workplace stress is normal, excessive stress can interfere with your productivity

and performance—and impact your physical and emotional health. Often, your ability to deal

with stress can mean the difference between success and failure at work. You can’t control

everything in your work environment, but that doesn’t mean you’re powerless—even when

you’re stuck in a difficult situation. Whatever your work demands or ambitions, there are steps

you can take to protect yourself from the damaging effects of stress and improve your job

satisfaction.

The Ubiquitous Lateral Ankle Sprain - Time to Reconsider Our Management?

Ankle sprains are one of the more common musculoskeletal injuries among physically active individuals, but these are not benign injuries. The rate of recurrence, the chronicity of symptoms, and the rising costs of the evaluation and management of lateral ankle sprains should give us pause. Lateral ankle sprains are simultaneously over- and under-treated, creating a burden on the healthcare system.  Rethinking our approach to the management of lateral ankle sprains is important to improving patient outcomes (Newsham, 2019).

Body dysmorphic disorder: The drive for perfection

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is an obsessive-compulsive and related disorder that pushes people toward perfection, affecting 5 to 7.5 million people in the US. Individuals with BDD spend a great deal of time focusing on perceived flaws and ways in which to hide these flaws. The time spent on these negative thoughts can interfere with quality of life and the ability to carry out daily tasks.

Kidney Infection (Pyelonephritis) by the Cleveland Clinic

Retrieved from https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15456-kidney-infection-pyelonephritis

Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) is a bacterial infection. The disease occurs in roughly 3 to 7 of every 10,000 people in the United States. It is readily treatable if diagnosed early.

A bacteria called Escherichia Coli (E Coli) causes about 90% of kidney infections. The bacteria migrate from the genitals through the urethra into the bladder and up the tubes (ureters) that connect the bladder to the kidneys.
