sinusitis treatment :: Article Creator My 'sinus Infection' Turned Out To Be A One In A Million Nasal Cancer At Just 28 - And Doctors Had To Cut My Eye Out To Save Me By Emily Joshu Health Reporter For Dailymail.Com Published: 06:33 EDT, 20 April 2024Updated: 06:35 EDT, 20 April 2024 A 28 year-old California woman has described the shock of being diagnosed with a deadly sinus cancer that affects fewer than one in a million people - and led to the removal of her right eye. The 'golf ball-sized tumor', which had spread throughout her face, was first mistaken for a sinus infection by the woman's doctors.  Annika, who posts about her condition on TikTok, woke up one morning in 2023 and noticed that the inner corner of her right eye was sore.  While she at first thought nothing of it, by the time the evening rolled around, 'my face started to really, really hurt on the right side,' she said in a video.  The next day, her

Having This One Particular Blood Type Can Help Protect You From Severe Malaria - ScienceAlert

Nearly  half the world's population is at risk of malaria, one of the most deadly diseases known to humankind. Each year it claims  over 400,000 lives, most of whom are children younger than age five. While it's possible to vaccinate against malaria, virtually all of these cases are in the African region, where protection is often nothing more than a roll of the dice. Now, a recent  analysis  of 23 papers suggests those with blood type O have the genetic odds stacked in their favour. In sub-Saharan Africa, where severe malaria - caused by the  Plasmodium falciparum  parasite  - is endemic, there are far more individuals with blood type O than anywhere in Europe or the US. In Nigeria alone, where 97 percent of the country is at risk of malaria, more than half the population belongs to this blood group. In Ethiopia and many others, the numbers are similar. Rather than a coincidence, co-author and epidemiologist Abraham Degarege Mengist from Robert Stempel College of Publi
