Receiving a medical diagnosis can be difficult. You may only hear parts of the conversation as you start to think about what treatment will be needed and how this will affect your daily life. It can be especially challenging when different diseases have names that sound similar, such as inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, and irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS. Daisy Batista, M.D., a gastroenterologist at Mayo Clinic Health System-La Crosse, explains the difference between the two diseases.
医疗诊断可能是困难重重的。当您开始考虑需要哪种治疗以及您的日常生活将受到怎样的影响时，得到的信息往往很片面。如果不同疾病的名称听起来十分相似，这种困难将尤为明显，例如炎性肠病(IBD)和肠易激综合征(IBS)。拉克罗斯市妙佑区域医疗系统的胃肠科医生Daisy Batista（医学博士）解释了这两种疾病之间的差异。

La Dra.Daisy Batista, gastroenteróloga del Sistema de Salud de Mayo Clinic en La Crosse, explica la diferencia entre estas dos enfermedades.

In the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, the coronavirus was everywhere – stuck to our cellphone screens, smeared on our mail, dangling from doorknobs, even clinging to our cereal boxes. Except that it wasn’t. Despite public health guidance suggesting surfaces be disinfected to stop the spread of COVID-19, the virus wasn’t significantly transmitted through inanimate surfaces and objects, what microbiologists call “fomites.” As with all respiratory viruses – from the flu to the common cold – transmission was and remains almost exclusively airborne. Emanuel Goldman, a professor of microbiology at the Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, was among the first scientists to challenge conventional wisdom by warning that hygiene theater – overzealous disinfection of surfaces – had “become counterproductive” for public health.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a health advisory about an increase in children being hospitalized with severe respiratory illness who also tested positive for the rhinovirus or enterovirus EV-D68.
