While maceration can be often harmless, it may lead to complications in the elderly, in people with wounds, or those recovering from surgery. If left untreated, maceration can cause a bacterial or fungal skin infection that can progress to an all-body, systemic infection. Poor hygiene adds to the risk. Prevention of skin maceration is important when there’s a risk. Infections or extensive skin maceration need treatment with antibiotics, antifungals, or specialized wound care treatments....

Endorsements are essentially a social score that acts as a pat on the back for players. Think of them as an unwritten way for others to clap you on the back and say they appreciate you. The way that Endorsements work has changed in Overwatch 2, but the basis of the system is pretty much the same. After each round, players will have a chance to endorse up to two players each game....

One of the best ways you can improve your experience is by customizing your crosshair. The crosshair is one of the most important components of any shooter, and having a crosshair that you can easily see, follow, and keep up with is going to be key to keeping your weapons aimed directly at enemy players. Luckily, Overwatch 2 makes it extremely easy to customize your crosshair. Not only can you change things like the thickness, outline opacity, or even the gap between the center of the crosshair and its outer circle, but you can also customize the color and even have it toggled to show your current accuracy with that weapon....

The Martin Luther King Jr. Community Hospital (MLKCH) normally sees around 30 people, but with the coronavirus outbreak, frontline health care workers have had to serve over 100 people a day, according to a report from The New York Times. The overflow is so severe that the lobby has been converted to a place to care for patients while an outside tent has been erected to act as a waiting room....

Isn’t that always the way? “School’s done for me,” Matt Leinart told the Associated Press in August 2005. “I’m here to concentrate on football.” MORE: Ranking the best states for hoops | Calipari never thought UK would lose | Mizzou transfer restricted from 25 schools Leinart needed two credits to graduate when he returned to Southern California to quarterback the Trojans as a senior. So he took ballroom dancing. Is that a better way to exercise one’s intellect than enrolling in a graduate program and earning credits toward a Master’s Degree?...

SCD is a hereditary disorder in which the individual has an abnormal form of hemoglobin called hemoglobin S. Hemoglobin S causes red blood cells to change from a normal disc shape into a sickle (crescent) shape known as sickling. Oxbryta has a unique mechanism of action that targets hemoglobin S to prevent the process of sickling. It helps hemoglobin to hold more oxygen and stops red blood cells from changing shape....

The new version, Mortimer D.A. Sackler said via videoconference, was harder to tamper with for a faster high via injection or by crushing and snorting the drug. “It was important to the board that the market share of abuse-deterrent opioids grew because we believed and were told repeatedly by management that abuse-deterrent opioids saved lives,” Sackler said. The testimony was the third appearance from the wealthy pharmaceutical family regarding whether a judge should allow Purdue Pharma to reorganize into a company that would not involve the Sacklers....

Boxer seems sincere in her quixotic quest to find a handful of blogs that she says she loves for “the writing, the thinking, the drawing and the photos.” In her introduction she assures us that in her book “everything is bloggy to the core.” Meaning … what, exactly? As of December 2007 the blog search engine Technorati was tracking 112 million blogs. How to distill that huge number to a few essential characteristics?...

Ozempic is not insulin. It works by helping the pancreas release insulin when blood sugar levels are high and preventing the liver from making and releasing too much sugar. Ozempic also slows food movement through the stomach, reducing appetite and resulting in weight loss. Ozempic is in a drug class known as glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. Ozempic is available as a subcutaneous injection, meaning it is injected under the skin....

Both men continue to provide an unwelcome distraction at Emirates Stadium, with their respective contracts running down. Arsenal 6/1 favs to win EL With neither having committed to fresh terms, speculation regarding their future continues to rumble on – with Sanchez still being heavily linked with Manchester City while Ozil is mooted as a possible January target for United. Dixon believes Arsene Wenger should now be looking to move any disruptive influences out, with title-chasing teams throughout Arsenal’s history having shown that no player can be allowed to think that they are more important than the club....

A first-ballot Hall of Famer in 2002 and arguably the best living fielder, Smith’s been tapped in recent years to present Gold Glove awards to shortstops. Perhaps no shortstop can match Smith’s heyday with the Cardinals in the mid-1980s, though he had plenty of praise for MLB’s current crop during a conversation this week with Sporting News. “I think the turnaround in Kansas City has been Alcides Escobar,” Smith said....

Sandoval, who had previously been scheduled to see Andrews for a second opinion, didn’t make that appointment because of discomfort in the shoulder. MORE: Sandoval tops MLB’s worst contracts | All jokes aside, Sandoval may have serious eating disorder The news was part of a wide-ranging report from the radio station that included news related to the shoulder, and one interesting tidbit unrelated to the problem: • The Red Sox were aware of Sandoval’s history of shoulder problems when they signed the free agent to a five-year, $95 million deal after the 2014 season....

It was a stark contrast to Hibbert's abysmal showing in Monday night's loss — and most of this year's playoffs. But after hearing 48 hours of constant criticism and continual questions, Hibbert responded with the kind of game Indiana desperately needed. He made his first four shots, dominated the middle and produced big basket after big basket. Game 3 is Friday in Washington. Marcin Gortat had 21 points and Bradley Beal added 17 for the Wizards....

Because of their struggles, Packers coach Mike McCarthy said he’s “not worried about the football team” and is “just focused on the next step.” McCarthy, who has been the Packers coach since 2006, has come under harsh scrutiny this season. He fired back at critics on Monday in a defiant speech that teetered on arrogance. “Let’s just state the facts: I’m a highly successful NFL head coach,” McCarthy told reporters during his weekly press conference....

At least if you have one you can trust. Elias Sports Bureau confirmed three precedents from the NFC playoff game: 1) Mason Crosby’s 51-yard field goal for the Packers as time expired was the longest game-winning kick in NFL postseason history; 2) For the first time, three field goals from 50 or more yards were made in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter of a playoff game; 3) Crosby was the first to hit two by himself from 50 or more in the last two minutes....

Green Bay has put the entire NFL on notice with its 53-20 romp over the Eagles on Sunday, a week after routing the Bears, 55-14. The Packers look unstoppable at Lambeau Field in November, a reminder of the damage they can do if they get to play there in January. The Cardinals still boast the conference’s best record at 9-1 after beating the Lions in the same Week 11 late afternoon window....

We transition now to mention the Packers are currently 1-2 and tied for the last in the NFC North, one game behind the Bears and Lions. Still, if the Packers can win Sunday at Chicago (1 p.m. ET, Fox), they will end September no worse for wear, really. They will have humbled the Bears for a fifth straight time at Soldier Field, and they will have sent a message that they will still be tough to knock off in the North....
