Chances are you're reading this during a rare moment of calm. Reclining, with your phone on silent, it's probably as close as you get to zen. But the reality is that you don't get these moments often and that you're one of 74 per cent of UK adults who, according to the Mental Health Foundation, say they have been so stressed in the past year that they've felt overwhelmed and unable to cope. Synonymous with modern life and how we live it, the stress response associated with chronic stress (or fight or flight mode – which prompts a faster heart rate and breath, surge in stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, and greater alertness) is activated so often that the parasympathetic nervous system (responsible for rest and digest mode) doesn't have a chance to activate enough – leaving you feeling permanently wired. Triggered by everything from long working hours to social media, if you're feeling burnt out, suffer from digestive problems, have poor concen...

Hookworms are one of the most common parasites plaguing the companion animal world. They use their hooklike mouths to latch onto a pet's intestines, where they feast on tissue fluids and blood. Infected pets can experience dramatic weight loss, bloody stool, anemia and lethargy, among other issues. According to new research from the University of Georgia, they've become multiple-drug resistant. Right now, U.S. veterinarians rely on three types of drugs to kill hookworms, but the parasites appear to be developing resistance to all of them. Researchers from the UGA College of Veterinary Medicine first reported this concerning development in 2019. New research, published recently in the International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance , provides deeper insight into where the problem started and how bad it was it's since become. The researchers focused on current and former racing greyhounds for the study. Dog racetracks are particularly conducive to spreading ...

Diarrhea is an unpleasant occurrence at any age. Diarrhea in infants can cause concern for caregivers, as infants are especially susceptible to becoming dehydrated if they lose a lot of fluids in a short amount of time. Diarrhea in babies occurs as frequent watery or loose stools. While babies often have looser stools than adults, if a caregiver notices that their infant is producing looser stool than usual, they might want to consider that the infant has diarrhea. Diarrhea will often resolve itself, but there are some things a person can do to make their child feel more comfortable when they are experiencing it. It is also essential to take steps to help prevent dehydration, since babies are among the groups at highest risk of becoming dehydrated. Things people can do at home to manage diarrhea in babies include: Keep the infant hydrated: Regardless of whether the caregiver breastfeeds or formula feeds the baby, they should keep feeding their baby often to help replace fluids. People...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a progressive autoimmune disease that develops when immune cells mistakenly attack the protective covering of nerves in the brain and spinal cord (myelin). MS is not fatal, and the prognosis, in terms of how the disease progresses, is highly personalized; no two people with MS will experience it in the same way. There are also different types of MS, and some progress faster than others. With proper treatment, the life expectancy of someone with MS is shortened by only a few months compared with the general population. What Does MS Feel Like? When a person has MS, they may experience symptoms such as: A squeezing sensation around the torso (sometimes called the "MS hug") Blurred vision, poor color vision, and eye pain Fatigue and weakness Difficulties with walking Muscle spasms or stiffness Numbness or tingling in the arms, legs, face, or body A decline in brain function Dizziness and vertigo Bowel an...
