It seems like an odd career choice during the worst market in a half century–akin to setting up a Popsicle stand during last week’s cold spell. But though they’ve dropped from the headlines, a small band of rapid-fire do-it-yourself traders is surviving–and some even claim to be thriving. Their lives have changed a bit since those halcyon days when online brokerages created characters like Stuart (“Let’s light this candle”) and the newly rich tow-truck driver with the island hideaway (“Technically, it’s a country”) to advertise the easy pickings of trading in a market where every stock went up....

The reasons for the disproportional rates of diagnosis could lie in the differences between the sexes, including those that are: PhysicalChemicalSocialEmotional Physical Differences Some research indicates that part of the large discrepancy in the number of males and females diagnosed with IBS may lie in physical differences, such as response to pain. In general, those assigned female at birth have been shown to be more sensitive to certain types of pain than those assigned male at birth, and that includes visceral pain (from internal organs) like that of IBS....

If you are undergoing chemotherapy for cancer treatment, it is usually recommended that you wear a condom for at least two days after treatment during any type of intercourse (vaginal, anal, or oral). Your healthcare provider may even advise for a longer time period. This is to prevent your partner from being exposed to any chemotherapy toxins that may be present in your semen. Even though your partner is using an effective form of birth control, your healthcare provider may advise you to use a condom throughout treatment....

Dr. Bobby Mukkamala told Newsweek he had been “an advocate for taking COVID seriously from the beginning” in the state’s Genesee County. Mukkamala has been involved in raising awareness about vaccines and testing, as well as safety protocols and protective equipment, in the city of Flint, where he works as an ear, nose and throat specialist. He has spoken in favor of using masks in schools, a stance that he says has made him an “enemy” of the city’s anti-mask contingent who have dubbed him “Flint’s Fauci” or “Mukkamala-Fauci....

In American College of Pediatricians v. Becerra, attorneys from the non-profit legal organization Alliance Defending Freedom are representing members from the American College of Pediatricians, the Catholic Medical Associates and OB-GYN Jeanie Dassow, all of who are objecting to performing gender transition procedures on any patient, including children.

In the early hours of January 28, a transplant team from Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri, had to fly around 300 miles to Chicago to collect a pair of lungs for a dying patient, 67-year-old Mitchell Reynolds. Surgeon Dr. Michael Pasque picked up the lungs at around 4:30 a.m., St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. As what are known as thoracic organs such as the lungs and heart are only viable outside of the body for 4 to 6 hours, the team didn’t have long to get back to the hospital....

The company allegedly claimed it had produced an innovative medical device that could detect several diseases and conditions from a few drops of blood. According to the AP, Holmes showed no visible emotion as the verdicts were read.

Kylian Mbappe is back for two more years on a massive contract, hoping to push his beloved hometown club to European glory. While the Qatari owners provided plenty of financial might to build a powerful squad full of top talent, the club’s downfall has always been reports of infighting, discord, and miscommunication. Locker-room squabbles, ownership and management failing to have the same vision, and a disconnect between directors and players seem to plague the star-studded side....

The Nashville Predators scratched the defenseman on Wednesday, 18 games after acquiring him from the New York Rangers — where he'd been in coach Alain Vigneault's doghouse, too. “His game has slipped, and our coaching staff has talked to him about making solid decisions, solid plays and he has gotten away from that a little bit,” Predators coach Barry Trotz said. “We had some healthy people and we felt this would be a good time....

Lactose Intolerance Lactose intolerance is a condition in which a person experiences digestive symptoms after consuming dairy products. This is due to a deficiency of the enzyme lactase. It is thought that many IBS patients would benefit from eliminating dairy products from their diet. One large-scale study compared close to 500 IBS patients with 336 patients who were self-diagnosed as being “milk intolerant.” Close to 70 percent of the individuals in both groups tested positive for lactose intolerance based on the hydrogen breath test (HBT)....

Olympus, a boxer-pit mix, was found by a security guard at Richmond Animal Control at 9:30 a.m. on February 6. Although staff at the shelter initially believed the dog had been left in order to be found, surveillance footage revealed the owner dumped the dog at 2:36 a.m. Footage showed Olympus attempting to follow the owner, only to collapse on the floor. “His little paws started to turn under, which is what we see when death comes often,” Christie Chipps-Peters, director of Richmond Animal Care and Control, told CBS 6....

In footage, which was shared by an account called Cardinalhenryp, we can see a woman stroking and massaging a Staffordshire Terrier’s back, and his reaction is adorable. The dog, whose name is Harvey, is clearly enjoying the relaxing embrace and the clip is made all the more amusing by the audio. The woman can be heard singing: “Massage, massage, and a back massage and a back massage.” Inexplicably, she then adds: “We’re in serious trouble....

Self-proclaimed “puppy parents” Sheena and Sunit Shah, based in San Diego, regularly upload videos of their Pomsky—a cross between a Pomeranian and a husky—to their TikTok account, @sapphie_the_pomsky. The daily ritual has seen the Shahs proclaim their dog, Sapphire, as the “QUEEN OF ZOOMIES” in their latest video, shared on Thursday.

The clip, shared by the TikTok account @weishaarfam, shows a person putting a scoop of kibble in a bowl before topping it with some miniature bone-shaped biscuits, placed carefully into a heart shape. A message overlaid on the video read: “Sent this to our pet sitter to show him how to feed our babies while we are gone.” The person then sprinkles spoonfuls of a powder from a container labeled “love dust” over the food before the video pans to a dog waiting with its tail wagging....

The clip was shared by TikTok user Jackie, under the handle @chum.bucket51, who said: “I was recording an iced coffee review and accidentally captured the moment my dog spotted his best friend—our 85 yr old neighbor…[pink heart emoji],” in a message overlaid on the video. Studies have suggested that dogs can be especially important for the elderly and their health. An August 2019 study in the International Journal of Community Well-Being said: “Canine companionship is important for people of all ages; for senior people, dogs take on a particular significance....

Clinton’s desolation is so acute that the New York Times ran a front-page article last week that described a lonely Clinton-“adrift and often isolated” in the haunting words of reporter Adam Nagourney-living a life that’s part Nixon (after he abandoned the White House) and part Howard Hughes (after he abandoned hygiene). Make no mistake: the pressure of being Bill Clinton is getting to him-Buddy, that is. “Dogs respond to the behaviors of their owners, so when the owner is under stress, the dog becomes stressed,” said Richard Polsky, a certified animal behaviorist in Los Angeles....
