Many dietary supplements and herbs are advertised as pain relief or inflammation treatments.

ZANESVILLE — When customers walk into Lunar Celtic Dream in the Colony Square Mall, Shonda and Bridgette Rhine want them to feel differently than they do in other stores. "We want them to come in and have a sense of peace," said Bridgette. "We want them to feel good energy and just be relaxed." Helping to cultivate that atmosphere is an eclectic mix of products, from crystals and geodes to candles and incense, soaps, and clothing. The Rhines make a lot of their own products, including jewelry. They also pour their own candles. "Everything is all natural," said Bridgette. They call the store an eclectic mystic boutique and metaphysical store.

The Biden administration is moving the U.S. government's largest public-health tracking system back to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, undoing a much-criticized move by the Trump administration to shift custody of critical data from the nation's top epidemiological agency. According to a document obtained by Bloomberg News, the Department of Health and Human Services on Oct. 1 signed off on a recommendation to move the system, designed to track pandemic data, out of the management of its own Office of the Chief Information Officer and into CDC's oversight. The shift comes in the wake of scrutiny over the federal government's handling of public health data infrastructure, and is intended to ensure long-term stability and ownership of the data system.

Significance The threat to public health that is presented by zoonotic spillover of pathogens from animal reservoirs is predicted to increase with rapid anthropogenic changes and global trends such as migration and changing land use. Schistosomiasis currently infects more than 220 million people worldwide, and the multihost Schistosoma spp. system within Africa is a key example of where spillover of animal parasites into human populations has enabled the formation of viable hybrid parasite genotypes. Our study demonstrates how zoonotic spillover and complex interactions between pathogen species, such as parasite hybridization, may have implications such as resilience to current disease control strategies and may facilitate the spread of tropical diseases such as schistosomiasis beyond their original geographical boundaries. Abstract Zoonotic spillover and hybridization of parasites are major emerging public and veterinary health concerns at the interface of infectious disease biology,...

The eyes work by allowing light to pass through the pupil to reach the retina, a thin layer of tissue at the back of the eyeball. The iris is a colored ring of tissue around the pupil that controls how much light enters the eye. The lens is the clear part of the inner eye that assists the cornea in focusing incoming light onto the retina. The retina contains light-sensitive receptor cells that convert light into electrical signals. These signals travel to the brain through the optic nerve, a thick bundle of nerve fibers behind the eye. The brain processes these electrical signals and converts them into visual images. Eye disorders and diseases can affect any part of this process to cause vision problems. Some diseases can lead to blindness if left untreated. Eye disorders and diseases cause a range of symptoms that may affect vision. Some common eye symptoms can include : blurred or cloudy vision double vision seeing glare or a ring around lights seeing floating spots sensitivity to l...

For frequent shoppers, these credit cards can sometimes offer perks that can prove beneficial to the customer. But, for one customer, the decision to open a Home Depot credit card proved to be a mistake when she forgot to make her payment on a small purchase at the home improvement store. Cassidy Rainforest Gard, who goes by the username @Cassidygard on TikTok, warned her viewers not to say yes to these offers. "I always say no but on this particular day the lady at Home Depot was so nice, and she was wearing the sticker and it just seemed really special and important to her that I open a card, so I opened a card," Gard said in a video that has now been viewed 3 million times. She said after opening the card in May, she forgot about it leading to an unpaid bill for the small purchase. "And then I forgot, I just totally forgot that I opene...

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are very common. According to the World Health Organization , more than 1 million STIs are acquired every day. One reason for this is because even contraceptive methods, like condoms, are not always fail-proof. Overall, if you're sexually active, you're at risk for an STI. But you don't need an appointment to get tested. Nowadays, there are dozens of at-home testing kits. Here's how to figure out what type of at-home STD test is best for you, which products to consider, and when to see a doctor in person. STIs are infections that are transmitted from one person to another during vaginal, anal, and oral sex. An STI is only considered an STD — a disease — when it causes symptoms. Usually, an infection is the first step on the road to potentially developing a disease, but it hasn't yet turned into disease and often doesn't cause any symptoms. Not all diseases start out as infections. Bu...
