Acute bronchitis is often caused by an infection. It usually comes on quickly and resolves after a week or so.

A bacterial infection may require a trip to the healthcare provider and antibiotic treatment. Viral bronchitis cannot be treated with antibiotics, and recovery requires time and rest....

But David’s season tickets aren’t in the left-field stands, so he didn’t know that Row Y was actually the very last row in left field. That realization sank in as they headed to their seats. “We’re walking up the steps and I’m thinking, ‘Man, nothing’s getting up here,’ ” David told Sporting News. “… But then Vlad started by hitting the scoreboard.” BENDER: This was a Home Run Derby for the ages...

The referee twice stopped the Group A match between Mexico and Trinidad & Tobago because of the homophobic chant. Stopping a match is part of a three-step protocol established by FIFA in 2019 to address homophobic and racist behavior by crowds at matches worldwide. What is the homophobic chant? The practice is believed to have started in the early 2000s. Mexican national team supporters shout a Spanish-language homophobic slur (“p—,” which roughly translates to “gay prostitute”) when an opposing goalkeeper puts the ball into play on a goal kick....

With captain Jamie Atkinson watching from the sidelines due to a broken thumb, Hong Kong recovered from 19 for four inside four overs to post 137 for nine.

Setsuko Thurlow of Hiroshima and Tanaka Terumi of Nagasaki, both 88, are known as hibakusha, a Japanese term referring to those who lived through the U.S.-launched atom bomb attacks against their two cities on August 6 and 9 in 1945. For decades, both Thurlow, who now lives in Toronto, Canada, and Tanaka, of Niiza, Saitama province in Japan, have been vocal anti-nuclear activists, working with global groups such as the Nobel Prize-winning International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons....

The draft proposal, which is being circulated among the governments but has not yet been formally submitted to Iran, calls for a “freeze for freeze” rather than an outright suspension of enrichment. The “freeze” concept is similar to the “timeout” that ElBaradei first called for last January. In order to get talks started, both ideas effectively permit Iran to continue with the uranium enrichment it is doing already, but they demand that Tehran freeze further construction of centrifuges and reprocessing of nuclear material, in exchange for a reciprocal freeze on further U....

So much is now at stake, both for Rice personally and for the United States. If Annapolis succeeds, it could give Rice the most sought after of diplomatic laurels–one that has eluded everyone from Jimmy Carter to James Baker to Bill Clinton–and rescue her from ignominy as an architect of the Iraq War. If Annapolis fails, it will likely turn the radical Hamas group into the dominant player in the Palestinian world for years, empower its sponsor, Iran, and even set off a new intifada....

And I will,” Billy told Newsweek....

As a result, they must be obtained in the diet. Nonessential amino acids are those that humans can make from other chemicals in the body; thus, they do not necessarily have to be present in the diet. Histidine is considered an essential amino acid. Histidine has several functions in the body, including:...

One major issue that’s been impacting players since the start of Hitman 3 Year 2 stems from the Elusive Target Arcade game mode. Part of what makes Elusive Target Arcade different from Elusive Target is that failing a mission has significant consequences. Specifically, players are locked out of the mode for 12 hours if they fail. However, a bug saw many players locked out due to disconnects and other random problems with the game....

Today, the official Hitman YouTube channel posted a new video detailing everything coming to the game over the next four weeks, including elusive targets, new contracts, and escalation missions. It also discusses the game’s latest DLC, Greed, which was the first in a lineup of new expansion packs titled The Seven Deadly Sins. The pack released last week and will seemingly be the thematic basis for the upcoming month of content, which has been dubbed the “Season of Greed....

Although the trailer below offers no actual gameplay for Hitman, it does provide fans with an idea of the first season’s plot, which apparently concerns protagonist Agent 47 completing hits for the International Contract Agency (ICA) in order to “bring balance to the power struggle.” According to IO Interactive’s Community Manager, Travis Barbour, the release will be akin to the way modern TV shows’ stories are paced, as he explains:...

Takeaway: The big question heading into this game was whether or not Aaron Rodgers would be Aaron Rodgers. The answer was yes. Turning point: Back-to-back touchdown passes from a hobbled Rodgers to Davante Adams and Richard Rodgers turned an eight-point third quarter deficit into a late lead for the Packers. Hero: Rodgers, effectively playing on one leg, threw for three touchdowns, including two in the second half to lead his team to a comeback victory....

It was Dabang Mumbai’s skipper Florian Fuchs’ incredible 60th-minute goal that ensured Mumbai rallied from a 1-3 deficit to split the points with Ranchi Rays. With an aim to make the game more exciting for the fans, Coal India Hockey India League had introduced an innovative rule last season where one field goal counts as two to encourage and reward more such strikes. Goals from penalty corners are counted as one as usual....

Players will have the option of choosing their own houses. Since the very first book, fans have been excited about the four houses that Hogwarts students are divided into and the different philosophies each of them represents. Having this mechanic in the game also begs the question if the famed Hogwarts House Cup will also feature in the game. What will it mean to have the Hogwarts House Cup in Hogwarts Legacy?...
