Gonorrhea Is Now Resistant To Its Last Remaining Cure If you needed any more convincing, here’s another reason you just have to wrap it up. The sexually transmitted disease, gonorrhea, colloquially known as “the clap,” may soon have no drugs left to treat the infection. Lab studies are showing an increasing resistance to the type of drugs that doctors use to treat gonorrhea, called cephalosporins. That leaves only a few options, which are not as effective. “Cephalosporin-resistant gonorrhea could potentially mean untreatable gonorrhea,” says Dr. Gail Bolan, director of the Division of STD Prevention at the CDC. “Untreatable gonorrhea is a real possibility.” Gonorrhea has already become resistant to every other class of drug used to treat it. For that reason, the CDC is urging doctors to immediately change their practice and begin treating with an injectable cephalosporin and adding one of two oral medications — azithromycin or doxycycline. Certain patients will need to return to the doctor in a week for a repeat test to ensure the medications worked. Any partners in the 60 days prior to diagnosis should be treated as soon as possible. Gonorrhea is transmitted through sexual contact with the penis, vagina, mouth or anus of an infected partner, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Ejaculation does not have to occur to pass the disease. It can also spread from a mother to her child during childbirth. Over 300,000 cases are reported each year, and it’s estimated that the number is closer to 700,000, since many people go undiagnosed or untreated, and continue to pass it on. Untreated, gonorrhea has major implications for women, causing infertility, ectopic pregnancy — a life-threatening condition where the pregnancy is outside of the uterus — and a deeper infection that spreads into the uterus, fallopian tubes and the pelvis. Ew ew ew. Basically, in case you were wondering, you shouldn’t be messing with that raw doggie stuff. Get tested and stay safe. They got super diseases out there now. Source
Let the stalling begin… Lawyers For James Holmes Claim He Is Mentally Ill Mass murder James Holmes has convinced his lawyers that he is mentally ill . Lawyers for the crazed gunman claim they will need more time to assess their deranged client before going to trial. Attorneys for the suspect in the Colorado movie theater shootings said Thursday their client is mentally ill and that they need more time to assess the nature of his illness. James Holmes’ lawyers made the disclosure at a court hearing in suburban Denver where news media organizations were asking a judge to unseal court documents in the case. Holmes, a 24-year-old former Ph.D. student at the University of Colorado, Denver, had the familiar, dazed demeanor that he has had in previous court appearances. Our verdict? “We don’t believe, you killed 12 people.” Source
Not to get down on a bunch of kids, but check out the string parts in this video of a child mariachi ensemble currently making the Web rounds, and tell me this isn’t custom-made for some kind of Shining -esque psychological thriller. Or maybe a Radiohead album. And then there’s a trumpet! All it’s missing is Shia LaBeouf behind the camera . Rock out, freak out and read on for more Buzz Break.
Earlier today, we learned that Bryan Fuller is writing a television project about Hannibal Lecter for French TV studio Gaumont. The one-hour drama called Hannibal will center on the early days of the cannibalistic serial killer — the Thomas Harris character made famous by Anthony Hopkins in The Silence of the Lambs , Hannibal and Red Dragon — when he faced off against FBI agent Will Graham. While that sounds more interesting than that Sex and the City prequel series that the CW is developing, Movieline HQ has thought of five more entertaining television projects for Lecter that could not only land him a few Emmys, but might help the deranged doctor shed his bad rap and worm his way into the couch potato hearts of Americans.
Charlie Sheen LIVE: My Violent Torpedo of Truth is coming to a number of cities . But what can fans that actually buy tickets to this nonsense expect to see? “A rehearsed show,” tour co-producer Joey Scoleri tells People . “It will be spoken word, it’ll be funny and there will be interaction with the audience.” Another source claims “Charlie has been furiously putting together his show… working with actors, directors and writers. He is really working around the clock.” What else can audience members look forward to from this deranged individual? The use of video. Content related to Sheen’s “manifesto,” Scoleri says. An appearance by goddesses Natalie Kenly and Rachel Oberlin , the latter of whom will be involved directly in some way, her rep confirms. Concludes Scoleri: “He’s one of the most creative people I’ve ever met in my life. If you want Charlie Sheen, you’ll get vintage Sheen with this show. The guy’s a media juggernaut. He’s there to entertain.” What do you think, readers? Does this sound like a WINNING formula?
