To do that, you'll need a proper pillow made for people with neck pain: one that lifts your head just right so your neck can be in alignment with your spine. The best pillows for neck pain will do at least that much for side sleepers, back slee

On the heels of April meetings in Ottawa, Ontario, to develop a global treaty on plastic pollution, GlobeScan's global public opinion research shows that the perceived seriousness of waste in the environment from single-use plastics has decreased in some countries while remaining very high in others.  Based on a largely representative online survey of nearly 30,000 people across 31 countries and territories, Radar draws upon GlobeScan's unique database of over two decades of polling public opinion about people's outlook toward societal actors and the issues affecting them. Results show that there is a large difference in concern in countries such as Mexico, Brazil, and India — where people tend to continue to rate the issue of single-use plastic waste in the environment as very serious — compared to places such as the U.S., the U.K., Germany, and China, where people are becoming less worried about the issue. Just over one-third of Chinese respondents believe single

Whether you have occasional moments of anxiousness or a clinically diagnosed anxiety disorder, there's no one-size-fits-all approach to treating anxiety. In many cases, people may be treated with the use of counseling, anti-anxiety medications, or both if the combination is beneficial. Yet, in addition to therapy and medication, there are natural anxiety remedies available that may help ease certain symptoms. These remedies range from supplements to relaxation techniques like meditation. Read on to learn more options for natural anxiety relief. Anxiety generally refers to a state of worry or uncertainty. While it's normal to experience anxiety occasionally, the development of an anxiety disorder means that the anxiety has begun to affect a person's daily life activities. Anxiety disorders will affect around 31% of adults across their lifetime. Also, not all anxiety disorders are the same. They can range from social anxiety or generalized anxiety disorder

Key facts Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the top global public health and development threats. It is estimated that bacterial AMR was directly responsible for 1.27 million global deaths in 2019 and contributed to 4.95 million deaths (1) . The misuse and overuse of antimicrobials in humans, animals and plants are the main drivers in the development of drug-resistant pathogens. AMR affects countries in all regions and at all income levels. Its drivers and consequences are exacerbated by poverty and inequality, and low- and middle-income countries are most affected. AMR puts many of the gains of modern medicine at risk. It makes infections harder to treat and makes other medical procedures and treatments – such as surgery, caesarean sections and cancer chemotherapy – much riskier. The world faces an antibiotics pipeline and access crisis. There is an inadequate research and development pipeline in the face of rising levels of resistance, and urgent need for add

Medicare Supplement, also known as Medigap, is a private insurance policy purchased to help pay for what isn't covered by Original Medicare (which includes Part A and Part B). These secondary coverage plans only apply with Original Medicare—not other private insurance policies, standalone Medicare plans or Medicare Advantage plans. Medigap plans generally don't cover prescriptions, so you may want to consider enrolling in Medicare Part D, which specifically covers prescription drugs, or a Medicare Advantage plan that includes drug coverage. Medigap plans aren't the same as Medicare Part C, also known as Medicare Advantage. While a Medicare Advantage plan can serve as an alternative way to get Medicare Part A and Part B coverage, Medigap plans only cover what Part A and Part B do not. What Do Medicare Supplement Plans Cover? Medigap supplement plans cover many out-of-pocket costs that may come with Original Medicare but aren't covered by Part A

Constipation is a symptom when a person has fewer than three bowel movements weekly or hard, dry, lumpy stools that are difficult to pass. When you have constipation, it's not uncommon to have some pain or discomfort in your abdomen or as you try to use the restroom. "Normal constipation may be uncomfortable, but it should not interfere with the quality of a person's daily life," Niket Sonpal, MD, an internist and gastroenterologist in New York, told Health . Also, constipation pain can be an emergency in some cases. Here's what you need to know. Constipation may include abdominal pain. "Pain from normal constipation should feel like slight discomfort in the abdominal area from stool that cannot be passed," explained Dr. Sonpal. "You may feel like your stomach is 'full' from the cramping and bloating in your intestines." A person might experience recurrent abdominal pain, which may or may not be reduced after a bowel m
