One of my favorite scenes in He's Just Not That Into You is when Gigi and Janine are at a bar, and Gigi tears up a guy's business card for not being clear about if he actually wanted to call her. It's a lightbulb moment, since previously she had been staring at her phone non-stop and checking her voicemail every five minutes. We've probably all been there at some point in our lives, but now it's even easier to find out about people on the Internet.

Sinusitis occurs when your sinuses – air-filled cavities around your nose, eyes, and cheeks – get inflamed. The inflammation is often due to an infection, caused by a virus (such as a cold), bacteria, or fungus. Healthy sinuses are open, allowing mucus to drain and air to circulate in your nasal passages.

HEALTH GUIDE REFERENCE FROM A.D.A.M
Highlights
Symptoms
- Because significant depression can affect more than 50% of people with scleroderma, researchers say it may be beneficial for scleroderma patients to get routine screening for depression.
Causes
- Researchers have discovered a gene called connective-tissue growth factor (CTGF), which they say is more common in people with systemic scleroderma than in those without the disease.
Prognosis
- The prognosis for patients with systemic scleroderma has improved since the 1970s. Ten-year survival rates are up, and deaths from kidney crises have dropped. However, deaths from pulmonary fibrosis have increased during this time period.
Treatment
- High-dose immunosuppressant therapy with cyclophosphamide significantly improved skin and overall function in patients with scleroderma.
- Evidence shows that intravenous iloprost given in progressively increasing doses can reduce the duration and frequency of Raynaud's phenomenon attacks.
- A potential new therapy using PVAC, a substance derived from the bacterium, Mycobacterium vaccae, can improve skin symptoms without causing significant side effects.
Introduction
The name scleroderma comes from the Greek words skleros, which means hard, and derma, which means skin.
