I was brushing my teeth earlier and I noticed something unusual. The surface of my gums on my upper set of teeth has become very slightly rough/bumpy. When I run my fingers along my bottom gums you can t actually feel any difference in texture however you can definitely see a difference. There is also what appears to be a sort of white coloured rash on the gums on my canine teeth, they are not swollen nor painful and they are not raised, they just look odd.This wasn t there this morning and it seems to have appeared very quickly. I m not sure if having braces may affect my gums at all but i ve had them on since October 2011, so I m sure they can t be related.I asked my dad about it and he said that he also has the same problem in his mouth but he ignored it and nothing has happened. Is it normal to get this or is it something I should be worried about?

I have always, even when I was a kid had problems touching my toes. My back is not flexible, I have seen an Xray of my back and all the spacing looks good but the lower back is really thick. If you rub my lower back it has a knot that you can feel. I have tried strecthing and it has not helped. My lower back does hurt, its like a dull pain and I m alway stiff, in the morning it is the worst. Any ideas on what this is and what can I do to help it. I m a 41 year old male 6 tall I weight 285 lbs (I know the weight isn t helping things) most of the weight is in my mid section so I guess that pulls on my back. Otherwise I m in good health. thanks for any help or advice you may give.

Hi doctor, During masturbation I just rub the tip of the penis and not the entire penis. Is it a wrong way of doing? I do not get excited during sex and unable to ejaculate. Only, rubbing the tip of the penis gives me excitement. Also, two weeks ago, I have undergone circumcision as my foreskin did not retract. Before circumcision too, I have the same problem.

I have been diagnosed with PCOS in 2003. I was on medication (Diane 35 for 5 years and aldactone for 9 years). I was told to continue aldactone. In Feb this year I found a breast lump which was diagnosed as fibro adenoma . The doc said the lump may be because of aldactone. I have stopped all medication since Feb 2012. I had very irregular periods (once in 15 days). After stopping aldactone, I am getting almost regular periods. I have been TTC since Nov. 2011 and still no success. I am 26 years old now. BMI is 24.6. What steps should I take now to conceive normally?

BACKGROUND: An objective evaluation of coronavirus disease 2019 in the first days of infection is almost impossible, as affected individuals are generally in home quarantine, and there is limited accessibility for the operator who should perform the test. To overcome this limitation, a recently validated psychophysical self-administered test was used, which can be performed remotely in the assessment of early-stage coronavirus disease 2019 patients. METHODS: Olfactory and gustatory functions were objectively assessed in 300 patients in the first 7 days from coronavirus disease 2019 symptom onset. RESULTS: Seventy per cent of the patients presented olfactory and/or gustatory disorders. The dysfunctions detected were mainly complete anosmia (47 per cent) or ageusia (38 per cent). A significant correlation was found between taste dysfunction and female gender (odds ratio = 1.936, p = 0.014) and fever (odds ratio = 2.132, p = 0.003). CONCLUSION: The psychophysical evaluation protocol proposed is an effective tool for the fast and objective evaluation of patients in the early stages of coronavirus disease 2019. Chemosensitive disorders have been confirmed to be frequent and early symptoms of the coronavirus infection, and, in a significant number of cases, they are the first or only manifestation of coronavirus disease 2019.

Both urban planners and urban scholars have been keenly interested in identifying the characteristics associated with neighborhood satisfaction. One robust but surprising pattern is that the presence or number of children in a household has no effect on neighborhood satisfaction. To clarify this pattern, we measured the neighborhood satisfaction of a representative sample of 1000 Michigan adults, whom we divided into six distinct reproductive statuses: co-parents, single-parents, empty nesters, not-yet-parents, childless individuals, and childfree individuals. We found that a simple parent vs. non-parent dichotomy hides significant heterogeneity among these groups. Co-parents and not-yet-parents both experience distinctively high levels of neighborhood satisfaction, while single parents and childfree individuals experience significantly less neighborhood satisfaction. We also find that population density and COVID-related stress reduce the neighborhood satisfaction of each group in similar ways. We conclude by reflecting on the methodological and practical implications of differences in neighborhood satisfaction when more nuanced reproductive statuses are considered.

BACKGROUND: Each year there are more than 800,000 deaths by suicide across the world, while India alone accounts for one third of female suicides and one fourth of male suicides worldwide. Responsible media reporting of suicide is an important suicide prevention intervention at the population level. There is sufficient evidence to show that the way suicide is reported and portrayed in the media can have a significant impact on individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Recognizing the important role of the media in suicide prevention, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued guidelines for responsible reporting of suicides by the media. The Press Council of India, in 2019 endorsed WHO's guidelines for media reporting of suicides, however there is no evidence that the Indian media is complying with these guidelines. METHODS: To encourage responsible media reporting, we developed a scorecard to assess and rate media reports on suicide. We reviewed several resource documents that contained guidelines on responsible reporting of suicide. After consulting with a team of experts, we arrived at a scorecard that consisted of 10 positive and 10 negative parameters. RESULTS: We applied the scorecard to 1318 reports on suicide from 9 English language newspapers, with the highest readership in India between the dates of 1 April to 30 June 2020. For the articles analyzed, the average positive score across all newspapers was 1.32 and the average negative score was 3.31. DISCUSSION: The scorecard can be a useful tool to assess media reports on suicide and provide metrics for the same. It can facilitate improved monitoring and engagement with media organizations, who can quickly check their own reporting compliance to the WHO guidelines and compare how well they are performing compared to their peers over time.

The paper proposes a novel technique for representing templates and instances of concept classes. A template representation refers to the generic representation that captures the characteristics of an entire class. The proposed technique uses end-to-end deep learning to learn structured and composable representations from input images and discrete labels. The obtained representations are based on distance estimates between the distributions given by the class label and those given by contextual information, which are modeled as environments. We prove that the representations have a clear structure allowing to decompose the representation into factors that represent classes and environments. We evaluate our novel technique on classification and retrieval tasks involving different modalities (visual and language data).

Hello doctor, I have tender roof of mouth. I checked this morning and it was turning grey. I asked my friend to describe it better and told me it looked like grey cotton and as I got a closer look, the color reminded me of grey lint from the dryer. There is not any pain but rubbing my tongue against it irritates it.

My son (4.5 years old) seems is allergic to azithromycin and also to amoxicillin. Whenever he consumes any of these medicines (in suspension form), in two days time, he starts getting rashes through out his face and body which lasts for more than 2 weeks.

My friend has a pet parrot which is kept in the kitchen. On the last two occasions that I have visited her house, we have sat in the kitchen, and on both occasions, I have suddenly felt very sick, and when I have stood up I have felt dizzy and think I am going to faint. Both times I have sat down and the feeling passes after about half an hour. Could it be a parrot allergy? Thank you

This special issue explores past, present and potential future imaginaries of 'public' education in Europe and beyond. The special issue is located in a contemporary context of political turmoil, in which one in four European voters allegedly supports populist political parties, with the largest support for far-right forms of populism;it is also set against a historical background of several decades of significant change in the social, political and economic contexts of education, whereby schools and universities have been reimagined and reorganized so as to conform to the marketized and managerialist contours of the neoliberal imaginary;and it is set against the background of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has led to lockdowns and school closures in many countries and prompted many to question supposedly 'normal' ways of doing school and education in less turbulent times. For all these reasons, the special issue is topical and timely.
