Instagram allows users to post videos through Reels, posts, and even Stories. Prior, the meta-owned photo and video sharing app also offered an IGTV feature allowing users to post a video of more than 60 seconds of time. Instagram also allows users to save reels or photos for later access. But there is no built-in feature that supports downloading the reels and photos from the phone gallery. Users can only download and save photos and videos that they have shared on their profiles. But there are ways through which users can download these videos, third-party apps, and websites. If you also liked a video and want to download it to your phone storage, then follow these simple steps. Download Instagram videos in phone storage You can save the Instagram video to your smartphone using a number of third-party apps and websites.

Staphylococcus aureus (staph) is a type of bacteria that is common in the environment. It is responsible for many infections, including ear infections, skin infections, boils, and sepsis. It's normal for people to have some staph bacteria on their skin or inside their noses. The bacteria are not causing an active infection or harm, but some of these people are "carriers" and can spread the germ to others. Carriers can also become infected if their immune system becomes stressed or through a cut in their skin. Most staph infections are easily treated with antibiotics. Certain strains, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), are resistant to antibiotics and can be hard to treat. Staphylococcus aureus can cause a type of ear infection called otitis externa, also known as "swimmer's ear." The infection involves the ear canal, which has both a bony and a cartilaginous portion. Auricular cellulitis is an in...

In a recent research letter published in the  Emerging Infectious Diseases  journal, researchers analyzed the contact risks for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spread to medical professionals in an infection outbreak in a hospital ward. Study: Identifying Contact Risks for SARS-CoV-2 Transmission to Healthcare Workers during Outbreak on COVID-19 Ward. Image Credit: Evgenia.B/Shutterstock Background In one prior investigation, Rudberg AS et al . discovered that healthcare workers (HCWs) who had coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patient interaction had higher SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence than those without COVID-19 patient contact. On the other hand, a previous study by Braun KM et al . found that medical personnel were more likely to contract SARS-CoV-2 from someone outside the hospital or coworkers than from COVID-19 patients. Hence, there exists a discrepancy regarding COVID-19 contact risks for HCWs. About ...

A new, highly contagious viral infection that has been dubbed "tomato flu" is spreading among children in India, the country's Health Ministry said this week. At least 82 children younger than 5 had been infected by late July in the southern state of Kerala, after the first patient was identified there in May. Infections have now been recorded in three other states — including 26 children between the ages of 1 and 9 in Odisha — the Times of India reported Thursday. The infection gets its name from the "eruption of red and painful blisters throughout the body that gradually enlarge to the size of a tomato," according to an article published Aug. 17 in the British medical journal Lancet. The blisters resemble those seen on young monkeypox patients. The disease — which appears to spread through close contact and is not considered life-threatening — could be an aftereffect of chikungunya or dengue rather than a viral infection, according to the article. Tomato flu c...
