Using advanced DNA analysis, researchers have examined the teeth of soldiers buried in a mass grave in Vilnius, Lithuania, revealing that infectious diseases, not frostbite or gunfire, played a major role in one of history’s greatest military catastrophes. The study, published in Current Biology, found traces of two deadly bacteria, paratyphoid fever and relapsing fever, showing that Napoleon’s soldiers were being silently killed from…
Maria Menounos knew something was off in her body. It was 2023 and the TV host and journalist had severe abdominal pain and relentless bloating. She got a colonoscopy, endoscopy, and CT scan, but her medical team still couldn’t find the problem—and her symptoms persisted.

A complication with belly button piercings is rejection, or when your body tries to remove the piercing from your skin.

After you get your belly button pierced, it can take up to nine months for it to heal. During that time, you may experience irritation, infection, jewelry migration, rejection, and in severe cases, bacterial endocarditis (a serious infection inside the heart). The most common issues, though, are migration…
