NEW YORK (AP) — Following protests of Spotify kicked off by Neil Young over the spread of COVID-19 vaccine misinformation, the music streaming service said that it will add content advisories before podcasts discussing the virus. In a post Sunday, Spotify chief executive Daniel Ek laid out more transparent platform rules given the backlash stirred by Young, who on Wednesday had his music removed from Spotify after the tech giant declined to get rid of episodes of "The Joe Rogan Experience," which has been criticized for spreading virus misinformation. "Personally, there are plenty of individuals and views on Spotify that I disagree with strongly," wrote Ek. "It is important to me that we don't take on the position of being content censor while also making sure that there are rules in place and consequences for those who violate them." Ek said that the advisories will link to Spotify's fact-based COVID-19 hub in what he described as a "new effo...

BUCKHANNON — St. Joseph's Hospital hosted their celebration to honor the 100-year anniversary of the hospital. The event was held at the Brushy Fork Even Center on Monday, March 28 at 2 p.m. A pamphlet was provided to those in attendance with a brief history of St. Joseph's Hospital, as well as speakers who would comment on the event.

In 1920, four Sisters purchased an estate on a hilltop overlooking Buckhannon. The home was made into an eight-bed h...

Did you know that one of the reasons you wash your hands with soap and water is to remove microscopic worm eggs from underneath your fingernails? The mere thought of it is gross and embarrassing. However, infection-causing germs are everywhere and they spread quite fast, especially among kids. Not all infections are associated with being unclean, but they are discomforting altogether. That said, worms have a bad reputation for causing disease and death, and some like pinworms are known for irritating the intestines. According to the CDC, the groups most predisposed to pinworm infections are kids below the age of 18. Additionally, the contagion is the most common worm infection in the United States, and it's more common in households with school-aged kids. RELATED: How Can I Tell If Food Is Contaminated? What Are Pinworms? The New York State Department of Health defines pinworms as white, parasitic worms that affect the large intestines of individuals. T...

Over 190 species and subspecies of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) have been documented, many of which are known to produce disease in humans. They can affect both pulmonary and extrapulmonary sites [1]. Over the past few decades, there has been a notable increase in the number of NTM cases. Mycobacterium abscessus is the most common and rapidly growing NTM and is among the most drug-resistant pathogens, hence accounting for limited therapeutic options and a high treatment failure rate [2]. Although there is a consensus that the incidence and prevalence of NTM cases have been on the rise globally, they are not well-documented or reported like tuberculosis, and an accurate assessment of incidence remains difficult. Prompt diagnosis based on clinical suspicion has been a challenge, but an even major obstacle is the complete eradication of the disease. M. abscessus can cause skin and soft tissue infections after trauma or surgical procedures, and pulmonary infections and disseminate...

Symptoms and diseases associated with Naegleria infection Naegleria fowleri is the causative agent of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (not to be confused with secondary meningoencephalitis caused by Entamoeba histolytica), an acute, fulminate and rapidly fatal infection affecting the central nervous system. Diagnosis of the disease, usually late, contributes to its high mortality, such that only a few individuals survive the infection. What is Naegleria infection? Naegleria fowleri is an amoeba. Although genetic analysis has identified around 30 species of Naegleria, N. fowleri is the only one that has been associated with human infection. Its life cycle consists of three stages: a trophozoite, a temporary flagellated stage and a cyst. The form found in the central nervous system and more generally in the tissues of the human body is the trophozoite; the flagellated state is only temporary, induced by particular environmental conditions, and returns to the trop...

Surveillance Perspectives – Part I NORTH AMERICA, AFRICA, EUROPE By David Levine Since IMED 2018—the 7th International Meeting on Emerging Diseases and Surveillance—the world has seen the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 and the accompanying unfolding of the COVID-19 pandemic. Advantaged by international travel, inequitable access to medical resources, and misinformation, COVID-19 has caused unprecedented morbidity and mortality not seen since the 1918 influenza pandemic. IMED 2018 was succeeded by IMED 2021—the 8th International Meeting on Emerging Diseases and Surveillance, a virtual event held last November. At IMED 2021, a fitting theme was chosen: "Many Voices, One Health." It reflected the worldwide nature of COVID-19 and of the pandemic response. It was also appropriate in light of the mission fulfilled by the event's organizer, the International Society for Infectious Disease (ISID). ISID declares that it "supports health professionals, nongovernment organiz...
