Making electric vehicles profitable
Most OEMs don’t profit on selling electric vehicles. But addressing elements of the product and business model can put them on a better path. We have a clear roadmap for EV profitability. The future looks bright for electric-vehicle (EV) growth. Consumers are more willing than ever to consider buying EVs, and sales are rising fast. Most major markets have consistently registered 50 to 60 percent growth in recent years, albeit from small bases. More new models from a growing cadre of automotive OEMs make finding a suitable EV easier: in 2018 alone OEMs launched about 100 new models and sold two million units in total globally. Likewise, performance improvements continue with respect to range, performance, and reliability. Regulations in major car markets—namely China, the European Union, and the United States—compel OEMs to produce more EVs and encourage consumers to buy them.

However, there is a problem: today, most OEMs do not make a profit from the sale of EVs. In fact, these vehicles often cost $12,000 more to produce than comparable vehicles powered by internal-combustion engines (ICEs) in the small- to midsize-car segment and the small-utility-vehicle segment (Exhibit 1). What is more, carmakers often struggle to recoup those costs through pricing alone. The result:

About the author (s)
Content: Battery costs represent the largest single factor in this price differential. As industry battery prices decline, perhaps five to seven years from now, the economics of EVs should shift from red to green. Current thinking holds that the industry will continue to produce EVs—largely because it has little alternative in the face of stringent fuel-economy and emissions policies—and that the industry will, in the meantime, absorb the losses. Our analyses show that better options exist, even today, to accelerate the industry toward profitability from both product and business-model perspectives. Some of these options include aggressively reducing cost through “decontenting,” optimizing range for urban mobility, partnering with other automakers to reduce R&D and capital expenditures, targeting specific customer segments, and exploring battery leasing.

Understanding the challenges and opportunities for OEMs requires examination of the changing landscape of consumer attitudes, product availability, EV economics, and regulatory tailwinds. Consumer preferences on electric vehicles
Consumers’ EV preferences are shifting. The share of global consumers that would consider purchasing an EV is on the rise. In the United States, between 10 and 30 percent of consumers indicated their preference to consider an EV as their next purchase on national surveys. 1

Compare this with the prior seven years, during which new plug-in-hybrid-EV (PHEV) and battery-EV (BEV) launches globally averaged about 20 per year, often with premium prices. Historically, domestic Chinese OEMs provided the widest selection of models, but by 2020, most global OEMs across China, Europe, and the United States will offer a broad range of vehicles and price points. Electric-vehicle economics
Our survey from 2017 also revealed that an EV’s purchase price and driving range are the biggest hurdles to wider consumer adoption—and both are linked inextricably to battery economics. Today, a typical BEV in the United States, priced around $30,000, does not provide a reasonable payback period for many buyers, given the size and cost of a battery pack; to recoup the price premium for an EV versus an ICE vehicle through savings on fuel and maintenance, the payback period is five to six years for an average US buyer driving 13,000 miles a year. For high-mileage drivers exceeding 30,000 miles per year—such as full-time cab, Uber, and Lyft drivers—EVs are already “in the money” during a typical two- to three-year ownership or lease period.

4. Total EV sales in China from January to November 2018 was approximately 730,000. However, China is not the only major market increasing regulatory pressure. In December 2018, the European Union’s 28 member states agreed to new carbon-dioxide regulations that would set a target of 37.5 percent reduction in car emissions by 2030 when compared with 2021. This was significantly more aggressive than the European Commission’s original proposal of a 30 percent reduction. Accelerating toward profitability
At the beginning of this article, we highlighted the fact that today’s EVs are costlier to produce, and consumers have a rather limited willingness to pay a premium for EVs.

This article was written collaboratively by members of McKinsey’s Automotive and Assembly Practice: Thomas Gersdorf, Patrick Hertzke, Patrick Schaufuss, and Stephanie Schenk. Growth in the electric-vehicle market has slowed
EV sales rose 65 percent from 2017 to 2018 (Exhibit 1). But in 2019, the number of units sold increased only to 2.3 million, from 2.1 million, for year-on-year growth of just 9 percent. Equally sobering, EV sales declined by 25 percent during the first quarter of 2020. The days of rapid expansion have ceased—or at least paused temporarily. Overall, Europe has seen the strongest growth in EVs. Exhibit 1

What is the Electric Vehicle Index? McKinsey’s proprietary Electric Vehicle Index (EVI) focuses on battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). Since we created the EVI, several years ago, it has given organizations in the automotive, mobility, and energy sectors a detailed view of the electric-vehicle (EV) market, while highlighting potential future trends. The EVI explores two important dimensions of electric mobility: Market demand analyzes the share of EVs in the overall market, as well as factors affecting EV penetration in each country, such as incentives (for instance, subsidies), existing infrastructure, and the range of available EVs.

Content: OEMs plan to make a spot landing on the targets. Every gram these companies miss costs the industry about €1.5 billion, but overachieving would tighten their 2030 targets. In the first quarter of 2020, we saw increased momentum on the consumer side for buying EVs, despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Other signs also suggest that the momentum of EVs will be sustained in Europe—for instance, the creation of additional purchase incentives, the timely creation of EV standard operating procedures, and an infrastructure rollout. Given the recent loosening of the US federal emissions regulations, how will the trajectory of the US market and the EV strategies of traditional automakers evolve over the coming years? Russel Hensley (partner, Detroit): Vehicle electrification strategies will remain relatively consistent, despite the uncertainty about current regulations and the ensuing debate between federal and state policy makers. While some automakers may have cut or delayed their EV programs, domestic OEMs must continue their efforts to enhance the average fuel economy of their new fleets, given the large share of light trucks, SUVs, and compact utility vehicles. Many automakers use plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) as a bridge to a fully electric future. How will this technology develop?

Content: In light of carbon-dioxide regulation for trucks (such as the European Union’s “–30 percent by 2030” target), each ton in weight and each kilometer in range will improve total costs of ownership for fuel cells relative to batteries. For long-haul trucks, our models show that fuel-cell electric vehicles can break even with battery electric vehicles within the next five years. They will also achieve lower total costs of ownership than diesel before 2030. Markets such as China, Sweden, and the United Kingdom have reacted strongly to EV-incentive changes. Yet customer demand—independent of government subsidies—remains a major concern in the industry. Who is currently buying EVs, and what is required to scale up the market? Timo Möller (partner, Cologne): Early adopters of BEVs appear to constitute a specific segment of consumers, best described as tech-savvy urban people with above-average incomes and a familiarity with online shopping. Beyond first movers, consideration of EVs has significantly increased among consumers over the past few years as they have come to recognize the numerous benefits of EVs. To scale up the market, OEMs should thus systematically try to affirm the consumers’ growing positive attitudes about many aspects of EVs, such as the driving experience and subsidies.

How Are Genetic Diseases Inherited?
Inheritance Patterns
Content: Some neuromuscular diseases can be caused by a spontaneous mutation that is not found in the genes of either parent — a defect that can be passed to the next generation. Genes are like blueprints; they contain coded messages that determine a person's characteristics or traits. They are arranged along 23 rod-like pairs of chromosomes, with one half of each pair being inherited from each parent. Each half of a chromosome pair is similar to the other, except for one pair, which determines the sex of the individual. Inheritance can happen in three ways: Autosomal dominant inheritance occurs when a child receives a normal gene from one parent and a defective gene from the other parent. Autosomal means the genetic mutation can occur on any of the 22 non-sex chromosomes in each of the body's cells. Dominant means only one parent needs to pass along the abnormal gene in order to produce the disorder. In families where one parent carries a defective gene, each child has a 50 percent chance of inheriting the gene and therefore the disorder.

In families where one parent carries a defective gene, each child has a 50 percent chance of inheriting the gene and therefore the disorder. Males and females are equally at risk and the severity of the disorder can differ from person to person. Autosomal recessive inheritance means that both parents must carry and pass on the faulty gene. The parents each have one defective gene but are not affected by the disorder. Children in these families have a 25 percent chance of inheriting both copies of the defective gene and a 50 percent chance of inheriting one gene and therefore becoming a carrier, able to pass along the defect to their children. Children of either sex can be affected by this pattern of inheritance.

Race and ethnicity as cancer risk factors
BY MD Anderson
As we acknowledge National Minority Cancer Awareness Week, it's an appropriate time to pause to look at why race and ethnicity might be risk factors for cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, the incidence of cancer (those who are diagnosed with the disease) in the United States is highest in African-Americans followed by Caucasians, Hispanics, Asian-Americans and American Natives, and deaths (those who die from the disease) are highest in African-Americans followed by Caucasians, American Natives, Hispanics and Asian-Americans. The chart below includes data from the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society on the three most common types of cancer: lung, prostate and breast. Lung Cancer - Men and Women
Prostate Cancer - Men
Breast Cancer - Women
Highest Incidence Rate
African-American males
African- American
White, non-Hispanic
Lowest Incidence Rate
Hispanic females
American Indian/Natives
Korean American
Highest Death Rate
African-American males
African- American
African-American
Lowest Death Rate
Hispanic females
Asian / Pacific Islander
Chinese American
Recent research indicates that there are many factors, including ethnicity, that may contribute to the development and survival rates for some cancers. Some of the factors are: Lifestyle behaviors encompassing diet, physical exercise, sun exposure, smoking, and alcohol use and sexual practice behaviors
Socioeconomic factors including education and income level, access to health insurance, and routine medical screening and services
Genetic factors involving inherited genes and a family history of certain diseases
Cultural factors involving practices, beliefs and in some instances mistrust of the health care system, which may prevent some from seeking preventive screening services
Age, which supports the concept that cancer is a disease largely associated with aging; so the longer one lives, the greater that person's risk for developing the disease
The question is often asked, "Why can't we cure cancer?" One reason is that there isn't just "one" cancer. There are more than 200 types of cancer and treatment for one type might not work for another.

Lower urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common medical complications of pregnancy. Approximately 5% to 10% of all pregnant women have asymptomatic bacteriuria, which usually antedates the pregnancy and is detected at the time of the first prenatal appointment. Another 2% to 3% develop acute cystitis during pregnancy. The dominant organisms that cause lower UTIs in pregnant women are Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus species, group B streptococci, enterococci, and Staphylococcus saprophyticus. One goal of treating asymptomatic bacteriuria and acute cystitis is to prevent ascending infection (pyelonephritis), which can be associated with preterm delivery, sepsis, and adult respiratory distress syndrome. Another key goal is to use an antibiotic that eradicates the uropathogen without causing harm to either the mother or fetus. In 2009, Crider and colleagues reported that 2 of the most commonly used antibiotics for UTIs, sulfonamides and nitrofurantoin, were associated with a disturbing spectrum of birth defects. 1 Following that report, in 2011 the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) published a committee opinion that recommended against the use of these 2 agents in the first trimester of pregnancy unless other antibiotics were unlikely to be effective.

Details of the study
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention investigators recently conducted a study to assess the effect of these ACOG recommendations on clinical practice. Ailes and co-workers used the Truven Health MarketScan Commercial Database to examine antibiotic prescriptions filled by pregnant women with UTIs. The database included 482,917 pregnancies in 2014 eligible for analysis. A total of 7.2% (n = 34,864) of pregnant women were treated as outpatients for a UTI within the 90-day interval before the last menstrual period or during the pregnancy. Among these women, the most commonly prescribed antibiotics during the first trimester were nitrofurantoin (34.7%), ciprofloxacin (10.5%), cephalexin (10.3%), and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (7.6%).

Andrew Carnegie (1835–1919) was among the wealthiest and most famous industrialists of his day. Through Carnegie Corporation of New York, the innovative philanthropic foundation he established in 1911, his fortune has since supported everything from the discovery of insulin and the dismantling of nuclear weapons, to the creation of Pell Grants and Sesame Street. The work of the Corporation and its grantees has helped shape public discourse and policy for more than one hundred years. Millions of people have benefited from Carnegie’s foresighted generosity — a legacy of real and permanent good.

“To try to make the world in some way better than you found it is to have a noble motive in life.” Andrew Carnegie
The Empire of Business
Andrew Carnegie Birthplace
The Andrew Carnegie Birthplace Museum adjoins the cottage in Dunfermline, Scotland where Andrew Carnegie, the son of a handloom weaver, was born on November 25, 1835. Mr. Carnegie’s first public gift was for the town of Dunfermline. In 1874 he donated £5,000 for the Carnegie Baths recreation and health club, which was followed in 1880 by his gift for a public library. Humble Beginnings
Andrew Carnegie’s birthplace, Dunfermline, was Scotland’s historic medieval capital. Later famous for producing fine linen, the town fell on hard times when industrialism made home-based weaving obsolete, leaving workers such as Carnegie’s father, Will, hard pressed to support their families.

Later famous for producing fine linen, the town fell on hard times when industrialism made home-based weaving obsolete, leaving workers such as Carnegie’s father, Will, hard pressed to support their families. Will and his father-in-law Thomas Morrison, a shoemaker and political reformer, joined the popular Chartist movement, which believed conditions for workers would improve if the masses were to take over the government from the landed gentry. When the movement failed in 1848, Will Carnegie and his wife, Margaret, sold their belongings to book passage to America for themselves and their sons, 13-year-old Andrew and 5-year-old Tom. “We sailed from the Broomielaw of Glasgow in the 800-ton sailing ship Wiscasset…”

An Immigrant’s Journey
Andrew Carnegie’s family decided to settle in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Pittsburgh where they had friends and relatives. Their ship landed in New York City, which he found bewildering: “ New York was the first great hive of human industry among the inhabitants of which I had mingled, and the bustle and excitement of it overwhelmed me,” Carnegie wrote in his autobiography.

Content: By mortgaging their house, Margaret Carnegie obtained $500 to buy the shares, and soon the first stream of dividends began rolling in. While associated with the railroad, Carnegie developed a wide variety of other business interests. Theodore Woodruff approached him with the idea of sleeping cars on railways, offering him a share in the Woodruff Sleeping Car Company. Carnegie secured a bank loan to accept Woodruff’s proposal — a decision he would not regret. He ultimately bought the company that introduced the first successful sleeping car on a U.S. railroad. By age 30, Carnegie had amassed business interests in iron works, steamers on the Great Lakes, railroads, and oil wells. He was subsequently involved in steel production, and built the Carnegie Steel Corporation into the largest steel manufacturing company in the world. TimelineJS Embed

Gospel of Wealth
Content: Andrew Carnegie
Map of Pittsburgh area, showing locations of the Carnegie Steel Mills
The city of Pittsburgh witnessed Andy Carnegie’s meteoric rise from bobbin boy in a cotton mill, to telegraph operator, to railroad manager, and finally to steel industry titan. He moved to New York City in 1867, but the Pittsburgh area, the site of his steel factories, was the recipient of many Carnegie benefactions. Birth of A Philanthropist
Andrew Carnegie’s philanthropic career began around 1870. Although he supported myriad projects and causes, he is best known for his gifts of free public library buildings, beginning in his native Dunfermline and ultimately extending throughout the English-speaking world, including the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. In 1887, Carnegie married Louise Whitfield of New York City. She supported his philanthropy, and signed a prenuptial marriage agreement stating Carnegie’s intention of giving away virtually his entire fortune during his lifetime. Two years later he wrote The Gospel of Wealth, which boldly articulated his view of the rich as trustees of their wealth who should live without extravagance, provide moderately for their families, and use their riches to promote the welfare and happiness of others.

Content: Movement of chyme into the small intestine is regulated by a sphincter at the end of the stomach, the pyloric sphincter. The Small Intestine
The small intestine (small in diameter compared to the large intestine) is divided into three sections
The duodenum, about 25 cm (10 inches) long, receives chyme from the stomach through the pyloric sphincter. Ducts that empty into the duodenum deliver pancreatic juice and bile from the pancreas and liver, respectively. The jejunum, about 2.5 m (8 feet) long, in the middle section of the small intestine. The ileum, about 3.6 m (12 feet) long, is the last section of the small intestine. It ends with the ileocecal valve (sphincter), which regulates the movement of chyme into the large intestine and prevents backward movement of material from the large intestine. The functions of the small intestine include the following: Mechanical digestion . Segmentation mixes the chyme with enzymes from the small intestine and pancreas. Bile from the liver separates fat into smaller fat globules.

Content: Research has shown that social media addiction produces a surge in dopamine due to the reward center part of our brain that gets activated with each like, comment, thumbs up, and retweet that is facilitated. Each time our reward center gets activated and dopamine gets released, the behavior becomes reinforced and the brain can leave you wanting more and more, and feeling addicted. Eventually, it will take more of that stimulus to activate the same level of dopamine and addiction persists. This affects your cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and psychological well-being. For instance, you may get a feeling of Ahhh, when you logged in to your social media profile. A sigh of relief, isn’t it?

Diamox / Sulfa Allergy Concern
elmosworld
I have been recently diagnosed with Pseudotumor Cerebri. My opthalmologist prescribed Diamox ER 500mg twice daily for treatment. I was informed by my pharmacist when going to fill my prescription yesterday that because of my Sulfa Drug Allergy that there is a possibility that I may experience a reaction to the Diamox prescribed. The pharmacist had stated that Diamox is a level 2 derivative of Sulfa and that the chance of an allergic reaction is there but small. My big concern is that I was diagnosed with a Sulfa allergy as a child when a Sulfa Based Opthalmic Ointment was used to treat an eye infection and I broke out in hives after using the drug. My daughter used Sulfa Antibiotics to treat a UTI and over the course of a week her face swelled up. The pharmacist had mentioned taking the medication and trying benadryl and if I have a reaction to seek medical treatment immediately. He told me that Diamox is pretty much one of a kind in treating my condition. I am wondering what the true probability is of an allergic reaction to this medication, and am curious to know how common allergies to Sulfa derivatives are when a patient is already allergic to Sulfa medications. 1 Responses

It's difficult to know how severe of a reaction you would have, if at all. Diamox is the first drug of choice in treating Pseudotumor Cerebri, but alternative treatments include high-dose corticosteroids, glycerol, or digoxin. However, these alternatives are not widely used as they have not been proven to as effective as Diamox. Have you discussed with your opthamologist? He may still want you to take the Diamox and to watch for any allergic response. Next Question

Welcome to the Dermatology Expert Forum! Thank you for your question. Only one horizontal depression present on only one fingernail is usually caused by trauma (usually accidental physical trauma) of nail matrix (nail “root”). It should grow out of your nail bed in 2-3 months.

Two possibilities are a transient ischemic attack (sometimes lasting 10-15 seconds or a minute or two) and visual migraine (which typically last 15 minutes or so.) Visual migraines often have zig-zag lines or wavy lines and a rainbow type aura around the edges and a headache often doesn't occur. Transient ischemic attacks with transient vision loss in one eye is called amarosis fugax and is not as colorful or interesting to look at but may cause a graying out or blacking out of just one eye and it may come from the top down like a shade coming over the eye but then returning to normal after a few seconds or minutes. I tell people that amarosis fugax takes the vision away or grays it out or blacks it out. Visual migraines just add a light show or visual distortion OVER the vision you usually have. It is something ADDED to your vision not taken away. Either way, you should have it checked out by an ophthalmologist right away and if any symptoms of a transient ischemic attack you should go the the emergency room. Ellybaby91

Content: The first time I took that stuff, I threw up. It's very strong antibiotic and is hard on the stomach. Once you've stopped having to use the antibiotic, it will take a while for it to stop bothering your stomach. Meanwhile, if the nausea isn't causing vomiting, you could try a probiotic. Remember to keep it in the refrigerator. It's easy to remember this if one can remember the two main root words in the word "probiotic". " Pro" in this case is from the Latin "for". As with the word "biology", "bio" means "life". It is very important to replace these. While you're still feeling nauseous, don't attempt to use yogurt for probiotic.

Content: an ulcer in my foot was rapidly eating it down to the bone. FOUR DAYS LATER, I went in for a possible UTI. ( 9/28) The lab wrote there were SO MANY bacrweia present, they could not tell one from another and thought maybe the sample was contaminated. There were even WBC CLUMPS found and an RBC of <40. My BP was 80/52. I was SEPTIC!!! But it wasn't an INFECTION, just so many bacteria, all tests were all over the place, hemoglobin very low suggesting anemia, kidney failure, Congenitive Heart Disease, Periphal Vascular Disease, Blood sugar 1000+...All systemic organ failure. SO-O-O, they treated me with a 10 day Anti for the UTI and ignored everything else, but 3 weeks later, put me on Hospice. IF YOU GET SCREWY RESULTS OR REFUSALS TO TREAT OR TEST, PUSH!!!!! This is VERY SERIOUS and potentially life-threatening!

Dr. Kokil Mathur
Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum! 13.5 WBC is slightly on the higher side (high but not abnormally so and usually due to infection). High white blood cell count is typically seen in inflammation and infection. It is also seen in cancers such as leukemias and lymphomas (BOTH UNLIKELY IN YOUR CASE). Depending on your symptoms further evaluation will be required. Hope this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted.

Hi there! Though the use of premarin cream has been linked to yeast infections it does not ‘cause’ the infection/ discontinuing the medication does not lead to any improvement in the situation and hence discontinuation is not recommended unless specified. It is best advised to consult a doctor for appropriate evaluation and management of the condition. Hope the information is helpful. Take care! Comment

Bhupinder Kaur, MD Apr 09, 2013
Hello,
Premarin may cause worsening of the yeast infection and not cause it. Hence you should discontinue taking it only after your doctor’s advice.

Gender, Conflict and Conflict Resolution
Biography
Content: This perspective focuses on women's caring, cooperative, and peaceful attributes. Some of these studies focus on women's maternal abilities as shapers of our roles as caretakers and peacemakers. The other paradigm denies the assumptions that women and men have essential natures. As a matter of fact, it denies the essential nature of anything. Post-modern feminism focuses on the exchange between the social construction of individuals and the individual's constitution of themselves. By focusing on language, symbols, alternative discourses, and meaning, post-modern feminism studies how social power is exercised and how social relations of gender, class and race can be transformed. This doesn't rule out the specificity of women's experiences, and their differences from men, since under patriarchy women have differential access to the discursive field. At the societal level, patriarchy is characterized by historic discrimination and injustice reproduced in institutions and ideologies. Assumptions about male superiority pervade our thought processes. The life experiences on which the claims of the dominant ideologies have been founded have been the experiences of men, not women.

Patriarchy, like other dictatorships, controls reality. Women and men are socialized within rigid gender expectations. Institutions such as the church, the family, and the law reproduce these biases in norms, rules and laws. Women have historically been subjugated politically, economically and culturally. This institutional system of oppression and injustice directly creates disputes, sustains and escalates other conflicts and invades all other human interactions.

Bibliography
Content: African American women are 5 times more likely than Caucasian women to experience a recurrent preterm birth. [ Purisch: 2017] This risk factor is found in studies that have controlled for economic status, maternal education, and coexistence of other maternal medical risk factors. Additionally, women born prematurely have an increased risk of delivering their infant prematurely. Prognosis
Prematurity is the leading cause of infant mortality in the US. [ Klebanoff: 2011] Of all infant deaths in the US in 2006, 54% occurred in the 2% of infants born at <32 weeks of gestation. Despite this, survival and outcomes for children born very prematurely have improved dramatically over the past 4 decades. Associated morbidities can occur following delivery or may unfold as chronic disabilities, such as CP, cognitive impairment, vision and hearing impairment, feeding disorders, cardiac or respiratory conditions, and/or behavioral disabilities. In a multi-centered, longitudinal study, 12% of children born at <26 weeks had CP and 28 had cognitive delay (IQ <85).

Content: This mind-altering response is caused by a cannabinoid called tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC. For those who use marijuana for recreational purposes, the euphoric effects caused by THC are desirable. However, these pleasurable effects often come with other related marijuana side effects. Below are some of the most common side effects of marijuana use, especially if you are using a marijuana strain that contains high amounts of THC. Alter Your Senses
Marijuana is known to enhance one’s senses, altering the way things taste, sound, look, etc. While some may find this to be a pleasurable experience, others may find it stressful and confusing. Cause Disorientation or Dizziness
It is not uncommon for marijuana users to feel lightheaded, which can cause some discomfort in sensitive users. Many users report that marijuana can make them feel like their head is spinning. Slow Reaction Time and Impair Body Movement
Marijuana has been shown to slow motor control. This can make it difficult for some users to complete certain tasks, such as driving.

Marijuana has been shown to slow motor control. This can make it difficult for some users to complete certain tasks, such as driving. That is why it is imperative to avoid driving and other potentially dangerous tasks when intoxicated by the use of marijuana. Cause Short-Term Memory Issues
Marijuana has been known to inhibit the ability to form short-term memories. This can lead to brain lapses and the inability to remember things mere moments after they occur. Cause Drowsiness or Sleepiness
Marijuana can also cause drowsiness in some users. While some look for these effects to help them sleep, users should be aware that they may have trouble staying alert and awake if they consume marijuana during the day.

Marijuana can also cause drowsiness in some users. While some look for these effects to help them sleep, users should be aware that they may have trouble staying alert and awake if they consume marijuana during the day. Create Dry Mouth
One commonly reported side effect is a dry sensation in the mouth. This effect seems to be caused by the involvement of the endocannabinoid system in the inhibition of saliva secretion. How Long Will it Take For Marijuana Side Effects to Develop? How long it takes for many of these side effects of marijuana use to develop depends on how you consume marijuana. When marijuana is smoked or vaped, your body will absorb the THC much more quickly than when it’s taken orally and has to first be digested in the stomach.

Foods To Avoid

Content: The answer: what you eat. If your diet is loaded with mucus producing foods, the healthy mucus can’t do its job to rid contaminants from the lungs. The body needs to be in good standing to use mucus effectively. Too much mucus increases inflammation, which only prolongs and intensifies breathing troubles and other asthmatic symptoms. Foods To Avoid
The first step to clearing mucus from the body is eliminating dairy products, including milk, kefir, butter, cream, and cheese. If you are vegan or plant-based, this includes non-dairy cheeses, too, because soy is a mucus producing food and nut and seed based cheeses are typically very high in fat or fermented, which is hard on the liver as I explain in Liver Rescue. Eggs are another food that’s critical to avoid because they feed viruses in the body. As you now know, underlying viruses can cause and worsen asthma. Whether you are dealing with viral, neur

Sometimes a more complicated yeast infection may occur, with more severe symptoms. Four or more infections may arise in one year. There may be severe redness, swelling, and itching, leading to skin fissures or sores. Medical conditions that can cause a complicated yeast infection include pregnancy, uncontrolled diabetes, having a weakened immune system, and the presence of an alternate Candida fungus, as opposed to Candida albicans. In men, it affects the head of the penis. Symptoms include redness, irritation, and discharge. It can also affect the skin or the mouth. Treatment
Treatment of the infection depends on whether it is complicated or uncomplicated.

In men, it affects the head of the penis. Symptoms include redness, irritation, and discharge. It can also affect the skin or the mouth. Treatment
Treatment of the infection depends on whether it is complicated or uncomplicated. Uncomplicated yeast infection
There are two ways to treat an uncomplicated yeast infection: Direct vaginal therapy or oral treatment. When treating an uncomplicated yeast infection, a short-course of vaginal therapy is normally sufficient. One option is a one-time treatment of a prescription or an over-the-counter medication such as butoconazole (Gynazole-1), clotrimazole (Gyne-Lotrimin), miconazole (Monistat 3), and terconazole (Terazol 3). Some of these are available to buy online, including clotrimazole, Monistat 3, and terconazole.

Why Do Cancer Rates Increase As We Age?
Content: Why Do Cancer Rates Increase As We Age? Why Do Cancer Rates Increase As We Age? Written by Grace Rattue on July 8, 2012
As we age, our risk of developing cancer increases, now researchers at the University of Colorado Cancer Center say that this is because our tissue landscape changes as we age. The study is published in the journal Oncogene. James DeGregori, Ph.D., researcher at the University of Colorado Cancer Center and professor of molecular biology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, explained: “If you look at Mick Jagger in 1960 compared to Mick Jagger today, it’s obvious that his tissue landscape has changed. And it’s this change, not the accumulation of cancer-causing mutations, that drives cancer rates higher as we grow older.” According to DeGregori, an individual already accumulates a large percentage of the mutations they will have during their lifetime by the time they stop growing in their teens. He explains: “ There’s a mismatch between the mutation curve and the cancer curve, meaning that if cancer were due to reaching a tipping point of say, five or six mutations, we should see higher cancer rates in 20-year-olds, as this is when mutation rate is highest.”

Fighting, falls, and road traffic accidents are common causes of a black eye. A black eye can happen when something strikes a person on the face. This could be a ball, a fist, a door, or another item. A black eye can also occur after some types of dental or cosmetic surgery. The bruising can last for several days. A black eye itself is not dangerous, and the discoloration is usually due to bruising around the eye. Sometimes, however, it can be a sign of a more serious condition.

Title: Mental disorders linked by genetic traits

Mental disorders linked by genetic traits
Content: However, this most recent study has investigated the links in more detail, by using the same genome-wide information and large data sets. The researchers analyzed genetic variation in thousands of people with each of the five disorders, and compared the genetic codes with those of people who did not have the conditions. The researchers calculated to what extent pairs of disorders were linked to the same genetic variants. Results of the analysis showed the following overlaps in heritability between particular psychiatric disorders as a result of common genetic variation: Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder – 15%
Bipolar disorder and depression – 10%
Schizophrenia and depression – 9%
Schizophrenia and autism – 3%. Overall, the researchers found that common genetic variation accounted for between 17-28% of risk of all five disorders. Naomi Wray of the University of Queensland, Australia, says: “ Since our study only looked at common gene variants, the total genetic overlap between the disorders is likely higher. Shared variants with smaller effects, rare variants, mutations, duplications, deletions, and gene-environment interactions also contribute to these illnesses.” The researchers say that these results, particularly the genetic evidence of the link between schizophrenia and depression, may have important implications for diagnostics and research.

Content: rVSV-ZEBOV – this was developed by the Public Health Agency of Canada in Winnipeg with NewLink Genetics, a company, located in Ames, IA. The vaccine uses a weakened virus found in livestock; one of its genes has been replaced by an Ebola virus gene. On July 31 2015, Lancet

published preliminary results of a vaccine trial funded and organized by the WHO; the Ebola ca Suffit vaccine had 100 percent efficacy in the trial, which took place in Guinea and involved 4,000 people. The full results of this trial were published in Lancet
Trusted Source
in February 2017. The next step is to make these vaccines available as soon as possible – and in sufficient quantities – to protect critical frontline workers and to make a difference in the epidemic’s future evolution. Ebola prevention
It is still unknown how individuals are infected with Ebola, so stopping infection is still difficult. Preventing transmission is achieved by: ensuring all healthcare workers wear protective clothing
implementing infection-control measures, such as complete equipment sterilization and routine use of disinfectant
isolation of Ebola patients from contact with unprotected persons
Thorough sterilization and proper disposal of needles in hospitals are essential in preventing further infection and halting the spread of an outbreak.

It is still unknown how individuals are infected with Ebola, so stopping infection is still difficult. Preventing transmission is achieved by: ensuring all healthcare workers wear protective clothing
implementing infection-control measures, such as complete equipment sterilization and routine use of disinfectant
isolation of Ebola patients from contact with unprotected persons
Thorough sterilization and proper disposal of needles in hospitals are essential in preventing further infection and halting the spread of an outbreak. Ebola tends to spread quickly through families and among friends as they are exposed to infectious secretions when caring for an ill individual. The virus can also spread quickly within healthcare settings for the same reason, highlighting the importance of wearing appropriate protective equipment, such as masks, gowns, and gloves. Together with the WHO, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has developed a set of guidelines to help prevent and control the spread of Ebola – Infection Control for Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers In the African Healthcare Setting

. What causes Ebola? Ebola is caused by viruses in the Ebolavirus and Filoviridae family. Ebola is considered a zoonosis, meaning that the virus is present in animals and is transmitted to humans. How this transmission occurs at the onset of an outbreak in humans is unknown. In Africa, people have developed Ebola after handling infected animals found ill or dead, including chimpanzees, gorillas, fruit bats, monkeys, forest antelope, and porcupines. Person-to-person transmission occurs after someone infected with Ebolavirus becomes symptomatic. As it can take between 2 and 21 days for symptoms to develop, a person with Ebola may have been in contact with hundreds of people, which is why an outbreak can be hard to control and may spread rapidly.

The earliest time for taking a home urine test is 14 days after possible conception, but waiting until a missed period will give a more reliable result. Some tests on the market can be taken earlier. This depends on how sensitive they are. It is important to read the package insert to know the best and earliest time to take the test. The best time of day to take a urine pregnancy test is first thing in the morning, after waking. This is because consuming a lot of liquids before taking the test, can lead to a false negative, even if the woman is pregnant. What happens next? Used correctly, a urine pregnancy test should be around 99 percent accurate.

A positive home pregnancy test simply means that HCG is present in the urine, while a negative test can have a variety of meanings. Negative tests can mean that there is no pregnancy, or they can mean that the test was either taken too early to detect HCG, or that it was not done correctly. If the result is positive, the woman should make an appointment to see a healthcare professional, who can guide her about the next steps. If the result is negative, but the woman has the signs and symptoms of pregnancy, she should test again after 1 week or ask a doctor about a blood test instead.

There are many reasons for choosing to have surgery. For example, a person may undergo treatment to resolve endometriosis or to prevent cancer. Others may opt for surgery as part of sex reassignment surgery
Trusted Source
. Some medical reasons for undergoing an oophorectomy include: easing endometriosis
treating benign or cancerous tumors or cysts
easing ovarian torsion, in which an ovary becomes twisted
preventing ovarian cancer in those at high risk
People with a personal family history of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, or both may undergo testing to see if they have a genetic feature that increases their risk of cancer, such as changes in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. If these features are present, the person may decide to have surgery to reduce their risk of cancer in the future. Research
Trusted Source
suggests that undergoing surgery can significantly reduce the risk of developing ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer later in life. Anyone who is considering ovarian surgery for any reason should discuss the benefits and risks with their healthcare provider. What does oophorectomy involve? Learn more here.

A yeast infection may commonly cause fungal toenail infections. Symptoms of a yeast infection include: itching and swelling around the vagina
burning sensations or pain during urination or intercourse
redness and soreness on and surrounding the vagina
unusual vaginal discharge, such as gray clumps that resemble cottage cheese or a very watery discharge
A rash may develop over time in some cases. Yeast infections should be treated quickly, as the symptoms may become severe if left untreated. Diagnosis, treatment, and prevention
The classic symptoms of a yeast infection make them easy to diagnose. Doctors may ask about the person’s medical history, such as any previous yeast infections or sexually transmitted infections (STIs). They may also ask whether the person was recently taking antibiotics. Doctors will then examine the vaginal walls and cervix for signs of infection, taking cells from the vagina if necessary for proper diagnosis. Treatment of yeast infections depends on their severity. Standard treatments include creams, tablets, or suppositories, which are available via prescription, or over-the-counter or online.

Summary
Content: When to take B vitamins
People tend to take B vitamins to boost energy and reduce stress. There are eight different types of B vitamins, each of which has a separate function for the body. The types of B vitamins are: thiamin
riboflavin
vitamin B-6
niacin
biotin
vitamin B-12
folic acid
pantothenic acid
It is generally safe to take several B vitamins at the same time. Some companies also offer vitamin complexes, which are combinations of the daily amount of each B vitamin. B vitamin complex supplements are available for purchase online. Because of its energy-boosting abilities, the best time of day to take a B vitamin is after waking up. Also, recent research indicates that vitamin B-6 may potentially interfere with sleep
Trusted Source
and induce vivid dreams. To avoid this adverse effect, people may wish to take them earlier in the day. Even though B vitamin supplements are safe to consume, it is most beneficial to obtain these nutrients from food sources.

Content: Manage medical conditions
Several medical conditions can affect the skin and nails, such as psoriasis and diabetes. Anyone with these conditions should see a doctor for treatment. Following a doctor’s treatment recommendations may help improve skin and nail health. If symptoms change or get worse, it is important to see a doctor. This also applies if a person has a chronic disease that starts to cause nail problems. Diet and nail health
Nails, like the rest of the body, need a balanced diet for healthy growth. A varied, healthful diet should include protein, water, fruits, vegetables, and a wide array of vitamins and minerals. People who do not get enough iron, for instance, may have brittle or dented nails. Some specific dietary changes can strengthen the nails and promote growth. Supplementing the following nutrients in the diet can improve nail health.

Some over-the-counter (OTC) nail supplements contain calcium. Some people think that because calcium strengthens the bones, it might also strengthen the nails. Some research
Trusted Source
has found that women experiencing menopause who also have osteoporosis might notice nail changes. Osteoporosis is a condition that leads to weak bones that break easily and often occurs due to low calcium and vitamin D intake. However, few studies have conclusively proven whether or not calcium improves nail health.

Nails are made of protein, and because of this, some people think that consuming too little protein in the diet adversely affects nail health. The authors of a 2019 study
Trusted Source
believe that there is a link between nail health and certain amino acids called collagen peptides that some proteins contain. To increase the amount of protein in the diet, choose eggs, chicken or turkey, lean beef and pork, and fish. Vegetarian and vegan sources of protein include lentils, peanuts, nuts, and dairy products, such as cheese and milk. Biotin
Biotin is a B-complex vitamin that might promote healthy hair and nail growth
Trusted Source
. It might also strengthen brittle nails and prevent them from breaking, but there is little evidence that biotin supplements will help nails grow faster. When looking to improve the health and appearance of the nails, it is best to focus on limiting damage rather than expecting faster growth. A well-balanced diet will make the skin and nails strong.

How to reduce Christmas stress
Written by Hannah Nichols on December 7, 2017 — Fact checked by Jasmin Collier
“It’s the most wonderful time of the year,” but also a time when stress levels soar. We have put together some top tips to stop stress in its tracks and make the season of goodwill more enjoyable. Share on Pinterest
While Christmas is known as “the season to be jolly,” it can be a significant source of stress, pressure, and conflict for many of us. Some people can feel overwhelmed by the excess, expectations, and exchange and become depressed during the holidays. A lack of time and money, credit card debt, and the pressure of gift giving can often contribute to stress during the holiday season. Most of us are aware of the adverse effects that stress can have on our body. It can impact our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and it can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity if left unchecked. In fact, research has shown that there is an increase in the occurrence of heart attacks and heart-related deaths during the festive season, which may be due to stress, heavy alcohol consumption, a fatty diet, or all three. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that holiday stress is dealt with — pronto. With all the cooking, decorating, visiting, and gift giving, the holidays can seem more like trying to meet a high-pressure deadline than a vacation.

Content: Standard treatments, symptoms, and causes
Antifungal tablets, creams, and suppositories are available to treat yeast infections. The vagina has a balanced environment of bacteria and yeast. When this balance is disrupted, Candida yeast can multiply extensively, causing an infection. The following factors can disrupt this natural balance: experiencing hormonal changes
using antibiotics
having sex
using perfumed body or intimate washes
changing tampons too infrequently
wearing underwear that is too tight
While sex can sometimes lead to an overgrowth of Candida, a yeast infection is not a sexually transmitted infection (STI). Symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection include: itchiness in the vagina
a burning sensation in the vagina
thick, white, clumpy discharge
When to see a doctor
Vaginal yeast infections are common, treatable, and not usually a cause for concern. It can be difficult to identify this infection, especially when experiencing it for the first time. This is why it is essential to receive a professional diagnosis. Also, a doctor can recommend different treatments if yeast infections develop often or do not improve with over-the-counter treatment.

Content: This damage can happen when the hands absorb too much force, such as when someone catches a ball when playing sports. A jammed finger can be uncomfortable, but it is not usually a serious injury. At-home and medical treatments can help the finger heal without complications. Symptoms
Share on Pinterest
A jammed finger is characterized by swelling and stiffness. A jammed finger causes swelling, difficulty moving the finger, and pain. The duration of the swelling will depend upon how severe the injury is. Other signs of a jammed finger include: pain, but usually not severe
stiffness
weakness, or difficulty holding onto an item
redness and swelling
Causes
Jammed fingers are a common sports injury, especially in sports where the hand absorbs the impact of the ball, such as basketball, baseball, and volleyball. A jammed finger occurs when the tip of a person’s finger presses forcefully against the hand. This action can cause the ligaments in a person’s finger to become overstretched or strained.

Doctors commonly treat a jammed finger with a splint, which is a brace that keeps the finger straight and stable while the damaged ligaments heal. Another option is known as buddy taping or wrapping, where the injured finger is taped securely to a non-injured finger for support. Buddy wrapping helps to stabilize the injured finger. There is a useful at-home treatment for jammed fingers known as PRICE. It stands for: P is for protection. Wearing a splint or buddy wrap can help to make the finger less vulnerable to injury.

Content: Resting and avoiding using the hand as much as possible will protect the finger. I is for ice. Applying a cloth-covered ice pack to the injured finger can help reduce inflammation and redness. Keep the ice on the finger for 10–15 minutes at a time. C is for compression. Splinting or wrapping the finger can help reduce inflammation and promote healing. However, do not bind the finger so tightly that circulation is affected. E is for elevation. Resting the hand on a pillow where the elbow is lower than the hand can help reduce swelling and pain. Taking over-the-counter pain relief medications, such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen, can also help reduce pain and inflammation.

A finger that has been injured and appears crooked should be assessed by a doctor. If a person injures their finger and it appears crooked, they should not attempt to straighten it themselves. Instead, they should see their doctor to examine and treat the injury. A person should seek immediate medical attention if the finger starts to feel numb and turns white or very pale. These are signs that there is not enough blood flowing to the area.

Outlook
A sulfa allergy occurs when a person has an allergic reaction to drugs that contain chemicals called sulfonamides. Sulfa is a constituent of some antibiotics and other medications. Doctors and pharmacists use drugs that contain sulfa to treat many conditions, including skin disorders, eye infections, and rheumatoid arthritis. People should note that there is a difference between sulfa and sulfite despite their similar names. Sulfites are used as additives and preservatives in many wines and foods. Also, sulfa is different from sulfates and sulfur. Both sulfa medications and sulfite can cause allergic reactions, but these two conditions are not related. A person who has a sulfa allergy will not necessarily have a sulfite allergy, so there is no cross-reactivity.
