Chronic sinusitis (sinus infection) is sinus inflammation lasting three months or longer. Your sinuses are hollow spaces in your cheekbones, around your eyes, and behind your nose. These areas are moist with mucus that help filter, warm, and moisten the air you breathe. Inflammation and infection can occur if something prevents the mucus from draining properly. This article will help you identify the symptoms of chronic sinusitis and learn about its causes, diagnostic procedures, and treatment options. PeopleImages / Getty Images Chronic Sinusitis Symptoms The primary indicator of chronic sinusitis is the duration of symptoms. If you experience sinusitis symptoms for three months or more, it's considered chronic. General symptoms of sinusitis include the following: You may only have a few of these symptoms. Loss of smell can also be a symptom of COVID-19. Even if you do not think you have been exposed, take a COVID-19 test to ensure...

Tinea corporis , or ringworm on the body, is a common fungal infection. The main symptom of ringworm is a ringlike rash. This fungal infection typically affects large body areas, such as the arms and legs. Despite its name, the condition is not caused by worms. It is caused by a contagious type of fungus that can be transmitted through close contact. It is easily treatable, and most people do not experience any severe symptoms or complications. This article will cover the signs and symptoms of tinea corporis, its causes, how it is diagnosed and treated, and more.  Reproduced with permission from ©DermNet NZ and ©Raimo Suhonen www.dermnetnz.org 2022 Tinea Corporis Symptoms The symptoms of ringworm appear differently depending on the area of the body with the infection. General symptoms include: Itchy or scaly patches that appear red, gray, or brown Patches might appear as raised skin plaques A round, flat patch of itchy sk...

A new study led by researchers at the George Washington University suggests that E. coli from meat products may be responsible for hundreds of thousands of urinary tract infections in the United States each year. The study, "Using source-associated mobile genetic elements to identify zoonotic extraintestinal E. coli infections," was published online March 23 in the journal One Health. The team of scientists, led by Lance B. Price and Cindy Liu from GW's Milken Institute School of Public Health, developed a new genomic approach for tracking the origins of E. coli infections. Using this method, the team estimated that between 480,000 and 640,000 urinary tract infections (UTIs) in the United States each year may be caused by foodborne E. coli strains. "We're used to the idea that foodborne E. coli can cause outbreaks of diarrhea, but the concept of foodbor...

The aim of this study was the clinical and microbiological characterization of nontyphoidal salmonellosis episodes affecting febrile children in Mozambique. Patients and methods: The clinical records of the patients were evaluated, an...

Abstract Bacillus thuringiensis serovar israelensis is the most widely used biopesticide against insects, including vectors of animal and human diseases. Among several extrachromosomal elements, this endospore-forming entomopathogen harbors two bacteriophages: a linear DNA replicon named GIL01 that does not integrate into the chromosome during lysogeny and a circular-jumbo prophage known as pBtic235. Here, we show that GIL01 hinders the induction of cohabiting prophage pBtic235. The GIL01-encoded small protein, gp7, which interacts with the host LexA repressor, is a global transcription regulator and represses the induction of pBtic235 after DNA damage to presumably allow GIL01 to multiply first. In a complex with host LexA in stressed cells, gp7 down-regulates the expression of more than 250 host and pBtic235 genes, many of which are involved in the cellular functions of genome maintenance, cell-wall transport, and membrane and protein stability. We show that gp7 homologs that are f...
