dermatophytic onychomycosis (medicine) and Trojan asteroids (sh)


dermatophytic onychomycosis (medicine)


dermatophytic onychomycosis
Ringworm of the nail, the most common fungus infection of the nails (onychomycosis). Onychomycosis makes the nails look white and opaque, thickened, and brittle. Older women (perhaps because oestrogen deficiency may increase the risk of infection). And men and women with diabetes or disease of the small blood vessels (peripheral vacscular disease) are at increased risk. Artificial nails (acrylic or wraps ) increase the risk because when an artificial nail is applied, the nail surface is usually abraded with an emery board damaging it, emery boards can carry infection, and. Water can collect under the nail creating a moist, warm environment for fungal growth.Alternative names include tinea unguium.


Trojan asteroids (sh)




Two groups of asteroids named for heroes of Greece and Troy in Homer's Iliad.

These objects revolve around the Sun at the Lagrangian points (see Joseph-Louis Lagrange) in Jupiter's orbit. Achilles, the first, was discovered in 1906. About 650 are known, but their actual number is estimated in the thousands. The term Trojan also applies to objects occupying the corresponding Lagrangian points in the orbits of Other planets. Two such asteroids were discovered in Mars's orbit in the 1990s.
