WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — Despite several versions of strep infections, there's one rare in particular that's rising nationwide and in the state of Texas."If you've ever heard of toxic shock syndrome, that's one most people are familiar with. Sometimes, that's just an overgrowth of streptococcal bacteria that people can tend to relate to because it's the warning, and it's so few and far between, it's so rare and a true rarity, but we have to be prepared for those things," City of Wichita Falls Interim Health Director Amy Fagan said.Strep A is a disease that can cause muscle pain, extreme fevers, swelling, and can start to grow and go beyond areas throughout the entire body."When it goes outside the throat, or when it goes to abnormal growth within the skin, it becomes invasive because your body is trying to fight it off, but is unable to, or you're not treated in time, and it just becomes an overgrowth, if you will, and that's when it comes invasive or too much in the case of tox...St. Paul man convicted of child torture, given nearly 5-year prison term

Here’s an important thing to remember: This is probably just the beginning. The end is unforeseeable.That’s because the unprecedented indictment of Donald Trump by a New York County grand jury on charges of paying “hush money” to a former porn star is almost certainly the first of several criminal charges he will face.The former president faces potentially far more serious allegations, most stemming from his extra-legal efforts to reverse his 2020 election defeat. They include pressuring Georgia officials to change the state’s outcome, resisting efforts to retrieve illegally possessed classified documents and inciting the insurrection to prevent Congress from ratifying electoral votes.These cases – and any indictments and trials that may flow from them – are likely to dominate the political news for months, freezing the current situation in which Trump is the solid GOP front-runner and the November 2024 outlook remains very much in doubt.That also means that the arguments – and the ...FDA plans to allow a second updated COVID booster for vulnerable Americans

WASHINGTON — The Food and Drug Administration plans to allow older and immunocompromised Americans to get a second updated coronavirus booster shot in the near future, an acknowledgment of the virus’s continuing risks to vulnerable people whose immunity might be sagging months after a previous inoculation.Federal regulators are expected to authorize the additional dose in the next few weeks, according to people familiar with the agency’s planning. Those 65 and older would be able to receive the vaccine free of charge at least four months after their previous updated shot. Those with immune deficiencies would also be eligible.Regulators are expected to authorize the additional dose without explicitly recommending it for those groups, a stance that emphasizes the discretion of patients and their health providers. Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is expected to sign off on the decision — a customary step in the regulator...Supervisor Solis Retracts Proposal To ‘Depopulate’ Jails In L.A.

County after hearing concerns from stakeholders.Solis said Monday, she wanted the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to use its “limited” power to allow the release of some inmates, but will now seek further input on how to improve the proposal.“I introduced the motion as a way to strike a balance with both justice-involved advocates and public safety representatives,” Solis said in a statement. “Since the motion was published, my office has received concerns from a variety of stakeholders — those who feel the motion is not doing enough and those who feel it is doing too much. To that end, I will be referring the motion back to my office so that I can continue to gather input from all stakeholders.”Some of the voices concerned with the motion were those of the Los Angeles Association of Deputy District Attorneys (LAADD), who cal...A Look Into The Most Expensive Yoga Class In The World
