Christina Applegate, known for her role in Friends, has experienced a health setback after consuming a salad tainted with fecal matter. The infection caused severe illness, leading to incontinence and the need for diapers. Applegate previously received an Emmy for her guest appearance on Friends, and has faced challenges with Multiple Sclerosis in recent years.
Results for: Incontinence
A new study has found that switching care home residents to decaffeinated hot drinks could save the NHS up to £85 million per year in toileting-related falls. The trial, which involved eight residential care homes, showed a 35% reduction in toileting-related falls after residents were switched to decaf over a six-month period. The researchers believe that the reduction in falls is due to the fact that decaffeinated drinks reduce bladder and bowel urgency in those with an overactive bladder or incontinence.
