Molluscum contagiosum is a viral skin condition that causes round, flesh-colored, painless bumps that may resemble warts. Scratching or picking at the bumps can cause the infection to spread. Molluscum contagiosum is most common in children, but it may also affect adults. According to research, molluscum contagiosum will have a significant impact on the quality of life of approximately 1 in 10 children with this condition. In most cases, molluscum contagiosum will resolve within 12 months. Home remedies can ease symptoms during this time. Read on to discover some of the most effective remedies for molluscum contagiosum. At-home treatments for molluscum contagiosum may reduce discomfort, itching, and tingling while the bumps are present. However, they are unlikely to cure the condition. Popular home remedies include: Colloidal oatmeal baths Share on Pinterest A colloidal oatmeal bath may reduce the symptoms of molluscum contagiosum. A colloidal oatmeal bath can effectively relieve the s

1. In this systematic review and meta-analysis of quasi-experimental studies, there was a moderate association between childhood maltreatment and mental health problems. 2. Furthermore, this association between childhood maltreatment and mental health problems was sustained across different quasi-experimental methods and various psychiatric disorders. Evidence Rating Level: 1 (Excellent) Through exposure to things such as abuse and neglect, childhood maltreatment may result in the development of mental health issues later in life. Although it is known that there is an association between childhood maltreatment and mental health problems, the causal nature of this association remains poorly understood. As a result, the objective of the present study was to review quasi-experimental studies investigating the association between childhood maltreatment and mental health to elucidate the causal nature of their relationship. Of the identified records, 34 quasi-experimental studies (n=54,646

A systematic review (PROSPERO CRD42020197674/CRD42021244374) on the epidemiology/burden of illness of VWD was conducted to better understand patients' unmet needs. Methods: Observational studies (published January 1, 2010 to April 14, 2021) were identified in MEDLINE and Embase databases, using free-text keywords and thesaurus

Overview What is a viral infection? Viral infections are illnesses you get from tiny organisms that use your cells to make more copies of themselves (viruses). Viral infections commonly cause respiratory and digestive illnesses, but viruses can also infect most other parts of your body. What is a virus? A virus is a type of germ (pathogen) that's so small, you can only see it under a microscope. All viruses carry a small piece of genetic information (DNA or RNA) inside a protective coating (capsid). You can think of it like an envelope carrying instructions. Our cells, on the other hand, are like an entire factory: They contain instructions and all the equipment needed to carry them out. These instructions tells us how to build proteins and make more cells. Unlike you and me, viruses don't have cells, which means they don't have all the "machinery" they need to make more of themselves. So, if they want to make copies of their instructions (replica

A baby admitted to a hospital in Texas goes through a complete workup for infectious disease and other potential causes of disease. The clinicians at that children's hospital concluded that there is no medical reason why the baby isn't thriving. In many parts of the country, if you have a baby that's failing to thrive and a complete workup has been done, you're mandated to call Child Protective Services (CPS) so that the home can be evaluated and investigated. A clinician then ordered a test for that child which identified several pathogens causing a disease that, over the course of multiple days or weeks in that hospital, had not been identified. The baby had a twin who was also struggling to thrive, and in that child, the test discovered numerous pathogens that were causing disease within 24 hours, preventing CPS from looking into the family and possibly separating them.

Catherine Falls Commercial / Getty Images Symptoms of Ebola virus disease (EVD) start presenting anywhere from two to 21 days after exposure to the Ebola virus. Signs include the typical symptoms of a viral illness, such as fever, aches and pains, gastrointestinal issues, sore throat, and fatigue. Unexplained bleeding and bruising, red eyes, skin rash, and hiccups can also occur in the later stage of the illness. Ebola virus disease is a rare but serious and often fatal illness initially transmitted to humans from wild animals and then spread through person-to-person contact. Ebola cannot be spread before symptoms start. In this article, you'll learn more about the frequent symptoms and what to expect with EVD. You'll also get to know which rare symptoms to watch for, what Ebola complications exist, and when to see a healthcare provider for EVD symptoms.
