Dealing with Strep Throat

People who feel fine at one moment, then suddenly experience a throat that is sore, run a high fever, and find that all of their energy has vanished and feel very ill may have strep-throat. "Strep," stands for, "Streptococcus Pyrogenes," a common strain of bacteria that has the ability to live in a person's nose and throat for months at a time without causing them any harm. Tests have demonstrated that approximately 20% of people during winter months have the strep bug living in their mouths, nose, or throats without experiencing any symptoms whatsoever. These people are referred to as, "carriers," and do not spread strep germs and also do not need to be tested for or treated for strep.

Scientists Map Sensory Nerves

Johns Hopkins scientists have created stunning images of the branching patterns of individual sensory nerve cells. Their report, published online in the journal eLife on Dec. 18, details the arrangement of these branches in skin from the backs of mice. The branching patterns define ten distinct groups that, the researchers say, likely correspond to differences in what the nerves do and could hold clues for pain management and other areas of neurological study.

The Nursing Home Complaint Center and Senior Abuse

One of the best known consumer advocacy groups in the United States, "America's Watchdog," has created the, "Nursing Home Complaint Center," because the advocacy group is not aware of any other such service in the nation. When America's Watchdog found out that their own loved ones had been neglected in a nursing home they chose to do something about it. While they knew very little about the importance of obtaining legal representation and other types of assistance, they created the service because it is a needed one and because there did not seem to be any other group in America providing such a service.
