There are many causes of skin sensitivity. In addition to genetic factors, it may also be caused by personal emotions, physical contact with certain skin care products, cleaning products, or external environmental stimulation. Generally, when the skin is sensitive, the skin will experience slight stinging, burning, tightness and dryness, and the skin can easily feel itchy, red, swollen, granular or even peeling.
9 major symptoms of skin sensitivity: red rashes Skin sensitivity symptoms 1/ prone to allergic reactions
If you have sensitive skin and your body is prone to allergic reactions due to contact with certain products (such as soaps, cleaning products, perfumes, skin care products, etc.) or external environmental factors (such as sunlight, weather and temperature changes, etc.), it is recommended that It’s best to get tested for allergens and avoid triggers as much as possible.
Skin sensitivity symptoms 2/redness, swelling, and granulation
Most people with sensitive skin will experience repeated blushing, swelling, granulation or even rash. At this time, as long as the source of the allergy is completely eradicated and some simple treatments are performed,
Liver cancer, if you dont know these symptoms you risk finding out too late: heres what to watch out for
#Liver #cancer #dont #symptoms #risk #finding #late #heres #watch
Liver cancer is an often silent disease. Yet, there are signals that our body sends out that we should not ignore
Liver cancer is a complex disease which continues to pose a significant challenge to the medical community and those affected by it. In recent years, research has made important progress in understanding this pathology and developing new strategies for early diagnosis and effective treatment. But we too can and must help ourselves by recognizing and not underestimating these symptoms.
Liver cancer is the sixth most frequent in the world, although in Italy, probably due to our lifestyle and diet, it is rarer. Among the risk factors, Indeed, there are chronic hepatitis and alcohol abuse. The evolution of research has led to the discovery of increasingly targeted and personalized therapies for the treatment of liver cancer. Therapy aimed at selectively destroying tumor cells, combined with advances in surgery and radiotherapy, offers new hope for patients.

Consensus Guidelines for Diagnosis and Management of Acute Kidney Injury in Cats and Dogs
The International Renal Interest Society Offers Guidelines on Veterinary Kidney Disease
A recent scientific study has revealed a worrying increase in the incidence of hospital-acquired acute kidney injury in veterinary patients.
This is defined as an injury to the renal parenchyma, with or without a decrease in renal function, as reflected by the accumulation of uremic toxins or altered urine production.
Previously, hospital-acquired acute kidney injury was not considered a common cause in animals. However, recent evidence suggests that its prevalence is increasing in veterinary medicine. This is likely due to a combination of increased recognition and awareness, intensification of treatment, and increased management of geriatric veterinary patients with multiple comorbidities.
This finding underscores the importance of appropriate surveillance and treatment in veterinary patients, as well as the need for further research to fully understand the underlying factors and develop effective prevention and treatment strategies.
The International Renal Interest Society offers consensus guidelines for best practices for the diagnosis and management of this disease in cats and dogs. This is the first guideline document to review the diagnosis and medical management of dogs and cats with acute kidney injury. The generation of voting statements and consensus has been led by key international experts in the field of veterinary nephrology.
Study Shows Approximately 5.8 Million Children Display Symptoms of Long COVID
Study Shows Approximately 5.8 Million Children Display Symptoms of Long COVID
The Columbia study indicates that fatigue and malaise are the most common manifestations of pediatric long COVID, along with shortness of breath, respiratory and gastrointestinal issues, difficulty concentrating, and mental health concerns.
However, the study also finds that children living with long COVID can face less common conditions, including type 1 diabetes, brain fog, chronic fatigue syndrome, autoimmune diseases such as lupus, and multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children.
The Impact on Children
While the majority of young people who get COVID-19 recover quickly, some experience symptoms that can persist for months and even years, although the data on these cases, experts say, is still emerging. Dr. Melissa Stockwell, a pediatrician and chief of the Division of Child and Adolescent Health at Columbia, co-authored the report and expressed concern about the impact of long COVID on children’s quality of life.
In conclusion, the study from Columbia University’s Irving Medical Center sheds light on the significant number of children affected by long COVID. The report emphasizes the urgent need for more research and resources to understand and address the long-term effects on children’s health and well-being.
Wageningen University Research Finds E-Cigarette Taste Comparable to Food, Published in Biological Psychology
Ina Hellmich from Wageningen University is investigating how taste affects the perception of nicotine products and whether this can be compared to taste in food. The appreciation for sweet e-cigarettes appears to be comparable to that for sweet food. In her research, Hellmich did not find a taste that was attractive to smokers, but unappealing to non-smokers. The researcher recently published her results in a scientific journal.
Hellmich exposed test subjects to images of food products and e-cigarettes with a sweet or savory taste. They did this by placing participants in an fMRI scanner and showing them images of vapes or food while they were given sweet or savory scents through a tube in the nose.
They then asked the participants how much they liked the savory e-cigarettes, for example, and how much they would like to consume that product. In analyzing the results, they distinguished between smokers and non-smokers. There appeared to be no differences between smokers and non-smokers in how much they like e-cigarettes. They wanted non-smokers just as much as smokers.
It also turned out that all participants liked the sweet e-cigarettes as much as sweet food. This was also no different for non-smokers than for smokers.

Malnutrition threatens you with diseases. How do you protect yourself from it? | Health
Oman- The impact of malnutrition on humans is significant, as it causes the deterioration of public health and the onset of multiple diseases. What are malnutrition and the diseases that result from it and how can they be treated?
What is malnutrition?
Internal medicine specialist Dr. Firas Al-Tarawneh explains that malnutrition results from an increase in the body’s supply of energy and nutrient contents, or a lack of supply to the body, or an imbalance between the basic components of energy inputs and the inputs that enter the human body, and therefore are reflected in the form of weight loss or lack of proportionality between weight and height, and this is called wasting.
He added, in his speech to Al Jazeera Net, that malnutrition can also result from weight gain and resulting metabolic diseases such as diabetes. Weight gain and increased body mass rate lead to an inevitable outcome after a certain period of time, su ch as diabetes, high blood pressure or high levels of fat and cholesterol, which eventually meet in the blood forming heart disease.
There is another condition that falls between these two categories, according to Al-Tarawneh, which suffers from an imbalance in nutritional levels,
