MRSA is treatable, officials advise
Did you check for boils last night? Pimples, too, perhaps? Wondering if it's just acne or a drug-resistant staph infection? Despite the recent media and public lens turned toward methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, health officials are urging people to stay calm about the common and treatable infection, and cautioning that individual cases are not cause for concern. For the most part, local health departments, hospitals and schools have seen only a slight uptick in concerned calls and patient visits. "MRSA's been around for a long time, but no one really paid attention before kids started getting it at school and getting in the news," said state Department of Correctional Services spokesman Erik Kriss. About 100 cases of the infection are reported annually in state prisons — including the eight in Orange, Ulster and Sullivan counties — out of more than 63,000 prisoners.
Manhunt after daylight assault
A young woman suffered a terrifying sexual assault in central Christchurch yesterday. The 21-year-old woman was walking past the Christchurch District Court building about 10.30am when she was grabbed by two men and dragged behind a hedge, where she was indecently assaulted. She fought with her attackers and yelled to a passer-by, whose intervention forced the assailants to flee. The woman had been walking along Chester Street West between the court building and Victoria Square when she was attacked. Detective Sergeant Mark Reid said police wanted to speak to anyone who saw the incident or had information about who might have been involved. They also wanted to talk to the man who went to the woman's aid. "Had it not been for his actions, the offending against this young woman would likely have continued and escalated in nature," Reid said.

Dermatologists Warn Fitness Enthusiasts: Don't Let Exercise-Related Skin Problems Outweigh The Benefits Of Physical ...
The changing of the season brings cooler weather, shorter days and more people heading to health clubs for a healthy dose of indoor exercise. While experts agree that exercise is one of the most beneficial activities a person can do to improve one's overall health, dermatologists want gym goers to be aware of the hidden dangers of exercise -- bothersome skin conditions that can be painful and inhibit further physical activity if left untreated.
Speaking today at the American Academy of Dermatology's (Academy) Skin Academy, dermatologist Brian B. Adams, MD, MPH, FAAD, associate professor of dermatology at the University of Cincinnati and director of dermatology at the Veterans Administration Medical Center, both in Cincinnati, Ohio, discussed the most common skin conditions to which people who engage in regular indoor exercise are susceptible and how to treat them.
Feeling stressed? Your skin and hair can show it
Feeling stressed? Your skin, hair and nails can show it as they're the external indicators. While everyone knows that stress can take a toll on a person physically and psychologically, researchers in the United States have carried out a study and found that it also can lead to dermatological problems, like acne, brittle nails or even hair loss, the ScienceDaily reported. "When a person becomes stressed, the level of the body's stress hormone (cortisol) rises. This in turn causes an increase in oil production, which can lead to oily skin, acne and other related skin problems. "Stress can aggravate the skin and trigger unexpected flare-ups that, in effect, create more stress for patients," lead researcher Dr Flor A. Mayoral of the University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine was quoted as saying.
