This article explains how smoking affects the skin and helps lay the groundwork for an acne outbreak. It also looks at other skin-related complications of cigarette smoking and whether vaping has the same effect. “Smoker’s Acne” An increasing body of research has linked smoking to the onset of acne in adults. A study from the San Gallicano Dermatological Institute in Italy was among the first to suggest that smoking causes a specific type of acne known as atypical post-adolescent acne (APAA)....

The jury is still out on whether or not the pill can be a trigger for IBD or for an IBD flare-up. For women who have IBD, contraception is an important topic, and there are only so many choices. Pregnancy in women with IBD should be planned in advance, and for many women, the pill is an affordable, effective, and readily available option to prevent pregnancy. Women at risk of IBD and who have IBD need to weigh their birth control choices carefully and talk with their doctors about how their health could be affected....

The HPV vaccine can protect against cancer-causing forms of this sexually-transmitted infection. Despite this, some families opt to forego giving it to their children for a variety of reasons. While a common one is the contention that it encourages girls and boys to be more sexually active, the persistent—though unfounded—belief that the HPV vaccine can cause ovarian failure in young women has helped fuel lower-than-expected turnout rates among American schoolchildren....

Owner Millie Batten, 23, was walking him on July 16 in their local park in Surrey, England, as she does most days, when Breezy was bitten, she believes. The next day, the pooch developed heavy swelling on his neck and she rushed him to her vet to be looked over....

Rescue experts in Fort Worth recovered the dog last week after a call from a concerned citizen and noted in a Facebook post it had been thin, wounded and “horribly matted.” And after some investigation, it emerged the small mix breed had been missing for over a decade.

There are few things more satisfying for a dog owner than the sight of their pooch greeting them when they return home from a busy day. It would appear that the feeling is mutual. Back in 2015, researchers at Emory University scanned dogs’ brains using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technology to monitor their response when shown pictures of dogs faces, human faces and ordinary objects. What they found was that the canines’ temporal lobes lit up “significantly more” when looking at the faces rather than the ordinary objects....

The scenario is simple: we follow the owners and handlers of five dogs (a Weimaraner, Norwich terrier, bloodhound, Shih Tzu and standard poodle) headed for the prestigious Mayflower Dog Show in Philadelphia. The cast, which includes Parker Posey, co-writer Eugene Levy (as a man with two left feet), Catherine O’Hara, John Michael Higgins and Guest as a Southern bloodhound owner and aspiring ventriloquist, is uniformly wonderful. But best in show may have to go to Fred Willard as the dog show’s boisterously inappropriate announcer Buck Laughlin....

Some know her best by growing up up listening to her music, such as the classic “Jolene,” “9 to 5,” and “I Will Always Love You.” It’s also worth noting that she can play the dulcimer, the autoharp, banjo, guitar, electric guitar, the fiddle, the piano, the recorder and the saxophone, as per The List. She notably wrote “9 to 5” by rubbing her acrylic nails together to re-create the sound of a typewriter....

The incident occurred during the Florida aquarium’s Flipper Dolphin Show on April 9. Photographer Shannon Carpenter—who was at the show with his family—captured the moment and posted it to TikTok.

She then attempts to make her way out of the pool, however, she disappears below the water....

Miami’s punter completed a 14-yard pass to Kamu Grugier-Hill during a Week 15 matchup with the Patriots. It was good for a first down on fourth-and-seven in New England territory. But the referees threw a flag because Grugier-Hill didn’t report as eligible. It wasn’t just bad luck for Haack on this occasion. Two weeks ago, the Dolphins punter had a rushing touchdown called back because they aligned in an illegal formation....

The Dolphins are playing for a top-three draft pick in 2020. They can be considered a third-place team at the moment thanks to the Jets and the NFL’s schedule-makers. Miami and New York both fell to 0-3 after lopsided losses Sunday, but the Fins do have a tiebreaker over Gang Green at the moment: The Jets have a worse record within the division (0-2 vs. 0-1).
