Does an itch mean that the cancer is in your skin? Non-specific skin symptoms or other skin involvement in Hodgkin lymphoma are reported to occur in 15 to 50% of people with the disease.

In some cultures, having bloody tears was once thought to be associated with demon possession. Thankfully, most cases of haemolacria are benign and usually occur with a reasonable explanation. However, several conditions must be considered when making a diagnosis. Before examining possible causes, let’s review the anatomy of the nasolacrimal system, the system responsible for producing and eliminating tears. Tear Production The tear-producing nasolacrimal system is composed of several parts....

Capela scored 19 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in the Rockets’ 117-113 win on Thursday night. With Houston uncharacteristically struggling to put the ball in the basket in the fourth quarter, it was Capela who scored the team’s final six points and closed the game with a strong rejection of James at the rim. Harden carried the Rockets for most of the contest, finishing with a triple-double (35 points, 13 assists, 11 rebounds)....

And to hear both sides tell it, CB Bucknor was rotten Tuesday night. MORE: Umps might be mic’d up to explain reviews Bucknor had the plate for the Nationals-Braves game in Atlanta. Let’s just say his strike zone judgment was . . . impaired, especially on this Jayson Werth at-bat. The arguments about camera angles/strike zone technology being misleading don’t hold water here. That’s just not good work. FOSTER: CB Bucknor proves MLB umps essentially have jobs for life...

Diane Fillion’s security camera recorded the incident and shows her come into the frame waving a large stick. The video then shows her dog run directly past her followed by a large bear. The bear then directs its attention to Fillion and knocks her down. After thrashing the stick at the bear, she was able to get back on her feet while also keeping hold of the stick. The bear then ran back into the yard and climbed into a tree....

The change was part of a January 21 update to the agency’s interim clinical considerations for the currently-authorized COVID-19 vaccines. “If it is not feasible to adhere to the recommended interval, the second dose of Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines may be scheduled for administration up to 6 weeks (42 days) after the first dose,” the guidance says. “There are currently limited data on efficacy of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines administered beyond this window....

Kate Woodworth, MD, a pediatrician at the CDC said during the meeting that “extensive experience” with non-COVID-19 vaccines has shown that the ability of a vaccine to create an immune response, along with potential side effects “are generally similar when vaccines are administered simultaneously as when they are administered alone." Previously, the ACIP recommended that COVID-19 vaccines be given alone, with a minimum of 14 days before or after for any other vaccine to be given, “to better understand any adverse reactions,” Woodworth said....

The CDC released the findings of the study on Thursday and noted that the percentage of the U.S. population with COVID antibodies increased significantly after the vaccine rollout began. The Delta variant has seen a surge in cases in the U.S. and though it is difficult to know with certainty when the first Delta cases hit the country, reports indicate the variant was in the U.S. by May at the latest....

In North Carolina, the vaccination clinic at the PNC Arena in Raleigh put vaccinations of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine on hold. Out of 2,300 shots administered at the arena by UNC Health, 18 people had reactions to the shot within 15 minutes of receiving it. Four were taken to the hospital for evaluation, while the rest has minor reactions. According to CDC one of these vaccine recipients experienced an allergic reaction....

This year alone, the CDC has recorded 1,003 cases of salmonella across the U.S., including two deaths. The agency’s suggestions include always washing your hands with soap and water after touching backyard poultry, not letting chickens inside the house and setting aside a separate pair of shoes to wear while taking care of backyard birds. The most unusual line in the CDC advisory, though, warns owners not to “kiss backyard poultry or snuggle them and then touch your face or mouth....

Jackson hit an amazing last-second half-court shot to beat the Perth Wildcats 89-87 in an NBL matchup between arch-rivals. MORE: Curry wins 3-point shootout | Zach LaVine wins dunk contest The miracle shot came after the Wildcats’ Jermaine Beale sank two free throws to give Perth a one-point lead with only seconds on the clock. No stranger to half-court shots, Jackson hit a 60-foot shot at the buzzer to lift Cleveland State over then-No....

Singer Billie Eilish accused Trump of “destroying our country and everything we care about.” Actor Zach Galifianakis “refused to host President Trump on [his] talk show.” Singer-actress Jennifer Lopez used her Super Bowl halftime performance to push back on Trump’s immigration policies. And singer Christina Aguilera “is an Obama-supporting Democrat and a gay rights supporting liberal.” The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services vetted 274 celebrities, and the documents that House Democrats obtained from contractors show notes were made on their political views, including those who are supportive of Trump or have not spoken publicly about politics, alongside more typical vetting notes, including arrests and assault allegations that could create negative attention....

“WILL FERRELL CAME TO MY F*IN CONCERT ! nobody can tell me st,” captioned the photo on tour. But Lil Nas X is not the only celebrity to get overwhelmed at meeting another star. It seems plenty of A-listers are just like the rest of us and get starstruck when they see their favorite celebrity in real life. From Sarah Paulson’s iconic moment of gasping on the Met Gala red carpet when she spotted Madonna in 2017 to Harry Potter’s Emma Watson freaking out when she met Celine Dion....

The focus of the case himself apparently also found it difficult to stay away from the cameras. NEWSWEEK has learned that Bryant’s lawyer, Pamela Mackey, almost quit when he attended the ESPY Awards three days before charges were filed. She had instructed him to stay away, believing his appearance would seem disrespectful. (The lawyers and Bryant’s family–the star himself was reportedly “in denial”–knew that charges were imminent.) He and his wife remained at the awards until the lawyer sent Bryant’s bodyguards to retrieve him....

King Rashford conquering Europe in Zlatan’s absence A second-half Marcus Rashford free-kick saw United claim a 1-0 win on Thursday, giving them the upper hand in the last-four tie. Berizzo retains belief in his team to get the job done in the second leg, having scored at least once in every away Europa League game this season. “We will have to go and score a goal as we did other times,” he told beIN Sports....

Starfelt turned Calvin Bassey’s cross into his own net to send Rangers fans into raptures after Scott Arfield had cancelled out Greg Taylor’s second-half opener. The game at Hampden Park was played at a frenetic pace, with nobody having time on the ball, and it was end to end for much of the match as Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side made light of having played extra time in the Europa League quarter-finals just three days earlier....

The Scottish champions have until Monday at 23:00 to register new players before their Champions League playoff against Astana, and following the €222m deal to take the Brazil international from Barcelona to the French capital, Rodgers suggested an equally improbable transfer. 50/1 Coutinho top PL scorer “Am I looking to bring someone in ahead of Astana? Yes, Coutinho,” he jested. “We’ll see, we’re looking but I will always wait for the right quality....

Boston lost star guard Kyrie Irving, along with forward Al Horford, in free agency this summer but acquired Kemba Walker in a sign-and-trade with the Hornets. Stevens addressed the team’s recent moves when he met with reporters Tuesday. “Anytime you go through a year like we went through, where you don’t necessarily meet expectations, there’s probably going to be some change,” Stevens said, via The Boston Globe. Irving, who ended up signing with the Nets, had a rough stint in Boston....
