That’s exactly the message the $5 billion-a-year indoor-tanning industry is hoping every parent gets, as it launches its national “It’s time to rethink sun bathing” campaign. Buoyed by research that links low levels of vitamin D (which the skin naturally makes when exposed without sunscreen to ultraviolet rays from the sun) to higher risks of cancer, heart disease and autoimmune disorders, the Indoor Tanning Association (ITA) sees an opportunity to recast the public’s view of tanning....

Not to be confused with lifespan (the maximum amount of years a species can live—currently over 120 for humans) or life expectancy (the average length of life for a population), HALE takes into account years lived in less-than-full health due to disease or injury. History HALE combines mortality and morbidity data of a country or region to estimate the expected years of life in good health for the average person in that area....

If hearing loss causes disruptions in daily life, is sudden, or is more apparent in one ear, see a healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment. Hearing loss that comes with other symptoms, like ringing or dizziness, likely needs prompt medical attention. This article covers the symptoms, types, and causes of hearing loss, as well as treating hearing loss, risk factors, and complications of hearing loss, and when to get help....

New expansions have always been part of the lifeblood of Hearthstone, alongside a pinch of wit, randomness, and a truckload of memes and videos compiling ridiculous plays. There is, however, another aspect of the game that rarely shows up in such videos, but was no less beloved to those who preferred to go solo rather than take on multiplayer. RELATED: BlizzCon 2019: All The Major Announcements There is a new Hearthstone solo adventure coming out, and it is coming out right now....

Many players throughout the Hearthstone community have been openly complaining about the state of the game because of the two decks in question and have been begging Blizzard for a fix for weeks. On Tuesday, Blizzard finally answered those prayers by announcing that nerfs are coming to two different overpowered cards. When the next update hits at the end of February, neutral card Small-Time Buccaneer and Shaman card Spirit Claws will both be less powerful....

Heat assistant coach Keith Smart returned to the team Monday after a procedure to treat a rare form of skin cancer called dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP). One in one million people are diagnosed with it. MORE: NBA coaches who were players | All-time Miami Heat players The 51-year-old went in for a checkup with his dermatologist last month after noticing a slight bump on his left cheek. He eventually needed a 15-hour surgery....

Without proper hydration or periodically cooling ourselves down the body’s core temperature can rise to dangerously high levels. Heatstroke is a medical emergency. If left untreated, organ failure can occur, putting you at serious risk of medical complications or even death. The vast majority of these deaths are preventable. It is critical for seniors, small children, and those who participate regularly in outdoor activities, such as construction workers and athletes, to stay cool....

That’s understandable since we have much bigger problems. Still, heavy sweating can have a major impact on your life. While healthcare providers and researchers have noted that excessive sweating can be a symptom of these conditions, you may want to talk to your practitioner about complex regional pain syndrome. It has similar symptoms and some research suggests excessive sweating may be more common in that condition. Causes Several factors could be responsible for our sweating, either on their own or in combination....

Arteta has been praised since taking the helm in December last year, having lost just two of 15 games in charge. Former Arsenal captain Vieira, who was also linked to the job, hailed Arteta for his work so far at Emirates Stadium. “When you’re a Gunner, always a Gunner, so I’m watching them all the time, I watch their games,” the Nice head coach told Ian Wright in an interview for Adidas....

The Blues are aiming to complete a Premier League and FA Cup double in the Wembley showpiece having dominated all comers in the top flight this term. By contrast, Wenger has faced continued calls from disgruntled fans for him to end his nigh on 21-year tenure at Arsenal following another unsuccessful title bid and failing to qualify for next season’s Champions League. However, Conte offered his support to Wenger and says too often in modern football people have short memories....

Spencer did not mention the name 1 vs. 100, and he hasn’t made any announcements that it or any other trivia game is being developed, either. What Spencer has done is heavily insinuate the existence of a new trivia game, saying, “Maybe we should even be building our own trivia game, like from our past.” Then, later, he said “maybe that could happen.” Suffice to say, it’s about as close to the announcement as Spencer could get without actually announcing a new trivia game....

The dilemma came to the attention of Joy Hirsch. She’s the director of a new brain-imaging laboratory affiliated with Columbia University in New York that is trying to take brain imaging to a new level. She had John put his head in an MRI scanner and run through a series of exercises. He looked at pictures and thought of names. He looked at words and thought of synonyms. He wiggled his fingers....

Pesticide makers say there’s no cause for alarm; their chemicals go through more than 120 government-mandated safety tests before being approved. And nutritionists insist that the benefits of eating produce far outweigh the risks. If you’re still concerned, then buy organic versions of the most contaminated foods, which also include apples, celery, pears, bell peppers and imported grapes. “Or substitute the foods with the fewest residues–like bananas and kiwis–for those at the top of the list,” says Richard Wiles, senior vice president of EWG....

After an already superhuman effort over the last year, working through successive surges in caseloads and the end not yet in sight, three quarters of frontline health care workers report feeling overwhelmed. A recent survey found 93 percent of health care workers are stressed, 86 percent experience anxiety, 82 percent felt emotionally exhausted, 70 percent had trouble sleeping and 76 percent reported burnout. Who will care for caregivers, so they can continue to care for others?...

Since 2019, however, there has no longer been a federal penalty for not having minimum essential coverage. The requirement to have health insurance coverage is still applicable, but the mechanism for enforcing it (ie, the penalty) was eliminated after the end of 2018 by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Although there is no longer a federal penalty for not having minimum essential coverage, exemptions from the shared responsibility provision are still important in some cases....

The deadly combination of inadequate exercise and fattening diets has been responsible for almost two thirds of American adults tipping the scales at unhealthy levels. The key, say many experts, is not rapid weight loss, but small lifestyle changes that can keep those unwanted pounds on the table and not around your waist. Good planning is the first step. This is particularly important during the holidays, when those enticing Christmas and New Year’s Eve parties offer you buffets of tasty, but fattening foods....

Heart transplantation isn’t considered a cure for heart disease, but rather a treatment that can significantly prolong the life of the heart recipient. On average, an adult patient who receives a donated heart lives an additional 10 years after surgery. Most of these patients would not survive a year, or possibly two years, without this life-saving procedure. Reasons for a Heart Transplant There are many heart conditions that can become severe enough to warrant a heart transplant, such as cardiomyopathy, heart failure, and restrictive myopathy....

Game Rant participated in a group interview with Hearthstone lead designer Liv Breeden and game designer Cora Georgiou about the upcoming set. Infuse and Locations–the new Murder at Castle Nathria keyword and card type respectively–are exciting new additions to the game, but their history is more complex than it would seem at first glance. Breeden and Georgiou pull back the curtain on how these and other mechanics came to be in Hearthstone, and the mechanics that inspired them....

A photo shared to Twitter by Jennifer Epstein, a politics reporter at Bloomberg News, showed at least three individuals who participated in the affair holding signs with phrases such as “No Catholic can vote for Joe Biden” and “No Devout Catholic Supports Abortion.” Epstein posted the initial photo to social media around 10:45 a.m. ET. As Biden entered the church, presumably to attend Sunday mass, hecklers chanted, “Repent for your soul,” according to the reporter’s Twitter caption....
