Dakota Johnson grew out pubic hair for Fifty Shades; gynaecologist debunks hygiene myth New

Dakota Johnson grew out pubic hair for Fifty Shades; gynaecologist debunks hygiene myth

Updated 17:58 9 Oct 2026 GMT+1Published 11:17 9 Oct 2026 GMT+1The actress explained that the character she was playing was 'supposed to have never had a wax'A gynaecologist has shut down the myths surrounding pubic hair after Dakota Johnson admitted she grew hers out for one of her most famous movie roles.The 37-year-old revealed she ditched her razor for the first Fifty Shades of Grey movie in 2015, where she appeared fully nude while playing Anastasia Steele.She made the admission during the latest episode of Hot Ones Versus on Wednesday (7 October).The star explained: “I was full frontal, and she was supposed to have never had a wax.”AdvertAnne Hathaway, who she was in the episode with, asked: “And you didn’t wanna use a merkin?” to which Johnson simply responded: “No.”Even though it shouldn’t be one because women should just be able to do whatever they want with their bodies, the whole ‘to shave or not to shave’ has become an ongoing debate.The actress revealed she grew out her pubic hair for Fifty Shades of Grey (Universal Pictures)Weighing in on the conversation in an article on Every Stage Health, Dr. Holly W. Cummings explained that despite pubic hair being so natural for women, some people can be very emotional about it, with these feelings being deeply rooted in societal expectations and myths.In case you weren’t aware, pubic hair actually has a very important purpose in protecting us, just like the hair around your ears, nose, and eyes.Dr Cummings outlined: “It keeps the skin of your vulva warm and moisturized. It protects the delicate skin from friction during sexual activity. It keeps dust, dirt, and germs away from the vagina to prevent infection.”Researchers even suspect that it can play a role in sexual attraction and pleasure.The expert added: “What’s more, the vagina is a self-cleaning organ. If you sense a little body odor, it’s because your pubic hair is doing its job of trapping sweat, oil, and bacteria. To care for your pubic area, all you need to do is regularly rinse with water.”Shutting down another bizarre myth, the gynaecologist affirmed that, long story short, there is absolutely nothing ‘dirty or unclean about pubic hair,’ and there is no medical reason to remove it.A gynaecologist has assured that there's nothing unclean about pubic hair (Getty Stock Image)As per Healthline, if you are simply letting it grow, you don’t really need to do anything in terms of maintenance.If you do want to keep on top of it but without shaving, you can trim or shape it to your liking using a pube clipper, trimmer, or haircutting shears.The website explains that if you use scissors, it’s important to disinfect them first and designate the tool for that job.The experts advise: “Don’t use it on anything else. For your clipper or trimmer, follow the manufacturer’s directions for keeping it clean. Don’t share it.”If you choose to remove the hair, you have to take precautions to ensure you’re doing away with the hair in the safest way - and we all know there a whole lot of options out there.Johnson's admission has reignited the conversation (Sean Zanni/Patrick McMullan via Getty Images)Dr Cummings explained: “Trimming is the safest option because it shortens your pubic hair without cutting close to the skin, which can lead to injury or infection.”Another option is waxing; however, it can be painful, as the expert advised: “There is a risk of burns and general irritation, plus small cuts and other skin damage you can’t see.“If you choose waxing or sugaring, go to a licensed professional with lots of experience.”She warned that she’s not the biggest fan of shaving with a razor as it ‘can hurt sensitive skin, leading to rashes, ingrown hairs, and infection’.The gynaecologist concluded: “If you choose to shave, use a new, clean razor every time, as used razors can carry bacteria. It’s best to shave in the direction of hair growth if you can, but that can be hard to tell. It’s common for pubic hair to grow in multiple directions.”Featured Image Credit: Arnold Jerocki/Getty ImagesTopics: Women's Health, Life, Real Life, Celebrity

Blerina Matraku after intimate videos spread: I was used, I want justice

Këngëtarja Blerina Matraku e mbylli intervistën e saj në “Goca dhe Gra” me lot, kjo pas videove intime me kompozitorin Adi Hila.Ajo u pyet për babanë e saj, e më pas e prekur tha se është e rënduar emocionalisht.Këngëtarja shtoi se i janë dashur shumë ditë të marrë veten, pasi mori vesh lajmin për përhapjen e videove intime.“Po ç’mund të të them unë për një baba që, ku ishe këto ditë, hajde çohemi pimë kafe. Ç’mund të them unë për një baba që nuk do t’i vinte urrenjtësi vajzës së vet, për një nënë që thotë do të kalojë edhe kjo.Në momentin që kam marrë vesh lajmin, më janë dashur katër ditë dhe katër net të mbledh forcat. Është shumë rëndë, është peshë shumë e madhe për një njeri që nuk është ky njeriu. Një vajzë e cila i bën gjërat me drejtësi.Blerina është përdorur, nëse nuk po derdh lot sot, dua thjesht të tregohem e fortë. Ka katër ditë e katër net, e pesta, që nuk po pushojnë lotët e mi, është situatë shumë e rëndë. Mjaft! Ju lutem, mos u bëni pjesë e këtij makthi.Të gabosh është njerëzore, të falësh është hyjnore. Tregohuni ju hyjnorë në këtë mes, falni. Më kanë gjuajtur me gurë, në thinjza, më kanë kryqëzuar më shumë se ç’kam merituar. Kam pasur turp të dal. Për një vajzë që e do shumë moralin, të ndihet e turpëruar.Viktima ndonjëherë nuk flet dot. Në momentin që flasim, jemi ende të shokuar. Nuk dua të akuzoj asnjë njeri, dua që drejtësia të vihet në vend. Ai që i ka krijuar këto dhe i ka shpërndarë, do ta marrë dënimin e vet.Unë babin do ta marr kudo që të shkoj, nuk e kam turpëruar, nuk do ta turpëroj familjen time, më kanë përdorur. Nuk po them emra, nuk mund të jetë ai, mund të jetë dhe ai, nuk di të them. Por unë jam përdorur dhe sot gjej kurajën të them që jam një njeri i dhunuar emocionalisht, jam e lodhur. Nuk mundem më”, deklaroi ajo. Top Channel

Majoritatea alegătorilor nu ar vota cu republicanii nici dacă Trump ar ieftini benzina New

Majoritatea alegătorilor nu ar vota cu republicanii nici dacă Trump ar ieftini benzina

Cei mai mulți americani nu văd o cale prin care Partidul Republican ar putea să reintre în avantaj, având în vedere că mai sunt câteva săptămâni de campanie electorală, arată un sondaj POLITICO. Chiar și alegătorii republicani sunt sceptici că președintele Donald Trump ar putea să găsească o soluție pentru a schimba dinamica campaniei. De asemenea, majoritatea alegătorilor afirmă că nu ar vota cu republicanii chiar dacă Trump ar reuși o performanță politică majoră înainte de luna noiembrie — cum ar fi încheierea războiului din Iran, reducerea prețului la benzină cu 1 dolar sau crearea a 100.000 de noi locuri de muncă.Acest lucru este valabil în special pentru alegătorii democrați și cei nehotărâți: indiferent de scenariu sau de amploarea realizării, foarte puțini alegători și-au schimbat opțiunea, indică sondajul.Percepția alegătorilor asupra acțiunilor lui Trump și asupra economiei este în mare parte deja formată — un semnal de alarmă pentru Partidul Republican, care se confruntă cu un context din ce în ce mai dificil.„Cred că zaurile au fost deja aruncate”, spune Mike Noble, fondatorul firmei de sondare Noble Predictive Insights din Arizona. „Este greu să discuți cu republicanii, cu excepția celor care sunt extrem de devotați. Adică, cum i-ai mai putea motiva în acest moment? Democrații sunt clar motivați.”Mai există o problemă: majoritatea americanilor nu cred că Trump poate duce la bun sfârșit realizările care le-ar oferi republicanilor cele mai bune șanse de câștig, potrivit sondajului realizat de firma independentă PF Global.„Nu există nimic ce poate face Trump și, sincer, chiar dacă ar face ceva, nimeni nu l-ar mai crede în acest moment”, a declarat un strateg republican care lucrează în cursele electorale decisive, sub protecția anonimatului.Doar puțin peste un sfert dintre americani cred că Trump ar putea reduce prețul benzinei cu 1 dolar per galon până în ziua alegerilor. Aproximativ la fel de puțini cred că acesta ar putea pune capăt războiului din Iran (27%) sau ar putea reduce semnificativ prețurile la alimente (27%).Însă nici cei care l-au votat pe Trump în 2024 nu sunt convinși că acesta ar reuși. Mai puțin de jumătate — 43% — cred că Trump ar putea ieftini benzina cu 1 dolar per galon, iar și mai puțini cred în capacitatea lui de a obține rezultate în celelalte scenarii.Un purtător de cuvânt al Comitetului Național Republican a criticat sondajul pentru că i-a întrebat pe democrați dacă ar vota cu republicanii — deși cercetarea le-a adresat tuturor respondenților aceeași întrebare, indiferent de afilierea lor politică — și a acuzat POLITICO de „selectare a datelor pentru a se potrivi narațiunii fabricate de presă potrivit căreia 'se prăbușește cerul' pentru republicani, ceea ce pur și simplu nu este cazul.”Purtătorul de cuvânt al Casei Albe, Davis Ingle, a declarat, de asemenea, într-un comunicat că „nimeni nu poate contesta faptul că președintele Trump a creat una dintre cele mai solide coaliții din istoria politică prin mișcarea MAGA, iar președintele știe cum să comunice cu aceștia.”„Președintele Trump este liderul incontestabil, cel mai bun mesager și un motivator fără egal pentru Partidul Republican și este dedicat menținerii majorității republicane în Congres”, a menționat Ingle în comunicat.

Sieben Jahre Kampf um eine Arbeitsbewilligung: Heute ist Shewit Tekie Landschaftsgärtnerin New

Sieben Jahre Kampf um eine Arbeitsbewilligung: Heute ist Shewit Tekie Landschaftsgärtnerin

Mit 13 flieht Shewit Tekie allein aus Eritrea und erreicht nach einer Odyssee mit 15 Jahren die Schweiz – in der Hoffnung auf Sicherheit und ein selbstbestimmtes Leben. Doch auch Jahre später bleibt ihre Zukunft unsicher: Ohne Aufenthaltsbewilligung droht ihr die Abschiebung. Sie muss darum kämpfen, in der Schweiz zu bleiben und ihr Leben selbst gestalten zu können. Der Dokumentarfilm «Freedom – Le Destin de Shewit» begleitet ihren Weg vom Teenager zur jungen Frau während zehn Jahren. Im Interview mit 20 Minuten erklärt die heute 27-jährige Shewit, warum sie trotz allem wieder von Eritrea in die Schweiz auswandern würde . Im Film sagst du: «Das ist nicht das Leben, das ich mir wünsche.» Welches Leben hast du dir denn gewünscht? Shewit Tekie: Ich sage diesen Satz, als mir zum zweiten Mal das Asyl verweigert wird. Wegen dieser Ablehnung war ich total blockiert: Ich hatte nicht das Recht zu arbeiten, man zwang mich eigentlich, in der Sozialhilfe zu bleiben, und gleichzeitig konnte ich nicht in ein anderes europäisches Land gehen, da es mich in die Schweiz zurückschicken würde. Das Leben, das ich wollte, war die Sprache und einen Beruf zu erlernen, um anfangen zu können zu arbeiten und meinen Lebensunterhalt zu verdienen. Ich hätte mir überhaupt nicht vorgestellt, dass ich mich noch sieben Jahre lang abmühen müsste, um eine Arbeitsbewilligung zu bekommen. Das hätte ich mir nicht vorgestellt. Was erzählen sich die Menschen in Eritrea über die Schweiz? Nicht viel. Ich wusste eigentlich nichts, nur ein bisschen was von Europa. Man muss dazu sagen, dass ich mein Land sehr jung verlassen habe – mit 13 Jahren –, in einem Alter, in dem ich nicht viel von der Welt wusste. Wie konntest du dein Land im Alter von 13 Jahren verlassen und bis in die Schweiz kommen? Alleine zu reisen, ist schwierig und sehr riskant, wenn man eine so junge Frau ist. Ich musste mich auf das Schlimmste vorbereiten, auf Gewalt, auf Missbrauch. Aber ich musste dieses Risiko eingehen, ich hatte keine Wahl. Ich war zuerst im Sudan, wo ich fast zwei Jahre lang gearbeitet habe, um den Rest meiner Reise zu bezahlen. Danach habe ich die Route nach Libyen genommen, wo mich Menschenhändler drei Monate lang eingesperrt haben. Dann habe ich das Mittelmeer auf einem Boot überquert, das fast gesunken wäre. Schliesslich bin ich von Italien hinauf in die Schweiz gefahren, nach Genf. Es hat mehr als zwei Jahre gedauert, um von Eritrea in die Schweiz zu gelangen. Mit allem, was du heute weisst, würdest du noch einmal in die Schweiz aufbrechen? Die Reise ist wirklich hart und riskant und die ersten Jahre in der Schweiz waren wirklich eine Qual. Aber jetzt, da ich als Landschaftsgärtnerin arbeite, ein Gehalt habe, meine Steuern zahle und in die Gesellschaft integriert bin, finde ich die Schweiz wirklich ein tolles Land. Du wolltest als Frau frei leben können und bist darum in die Schweiz gekommen. Hat sich diese Hoffnung erfüllt? Es war hart, ich musste viel kämpfen, aber heute kann ich sagen, dass ich die freie Frau geworden bin, die ich sein wollte. Ich kann meine eigenen Entscheidungen treffen, ich habe eine Arbeit, eine Wohnung, ich bin vollkommen autonom und unabhängig. Der Film «Freedom – Le Destin de Shewit» läuft neu in den Schweizer Kinos.

Sondaggio Piave: con lo Stabilicum 221 seggi al campo largo, 137 al centrodestra New

Sondaggio Piave: con lo Stabilicum 221 seggi al campo largo, 137 al centrodestra

Anche con lo Stabilicum, la legge elettorale voluta dal governo Meloni e appena approvata in via definitiva, il campo largo risulta in vantaggio sul centrodestra. Sia alla Camera che al Senato la coalizione di centrosinistra avrebbe la maggioranza. È quanto emerge dal nuovo sondaggio realizzato da Piave in esclusiva per Fanpage.it e svelato dal vivo sul palco di Rumore Festival di Fanpage.it. La rilevazione scatta anche una fotografia sulle ipotetiche primarie di coalizione: nel testa a testa per la leadership, Giuseppe Conte stacca Elly Schlein raccogliendo il 42% dei consensi contro il 38% della segretaria del Pd. Le intenzioni di voto Partiamo dai partiti. Fratelli d'Italia guida la classifica, raccogliendo il 26,6% dei consensi e confermando il suo primato. Alle sue spalle si colloca il Partito Democratico al 21,0%, mentre il Movimento 5 Stelle si attesta al 12,6%. Futuro Nazionale sembra essersi stabilizzato in quarta posizione. Il partito di Roberto Vannacci ottiene il 7,7% delle preferenze, superando Forza Italia con il 7,3%. Segue Alleanza Verdi-Sinistra al 6,4%, davanti alla Lega, ferma al 5,6%. Completano la classifica: Azione con il 3,4%, Italia Viva al 2,5%, +Europa all'1,5% e Noi Moderati all'1,1%. Chi vince le elezioni con lo Stabilicum Il sondaggio si sofferma anche sulla nuova legge elettorale, che giovedì scorso ha ricevuto il via libera definitivo dalla Camera. Le previsioni sulla distribuzione dei seggi mostrano il campo largo in vantaggio sul centrodestra. Alla Camera infatti, il centrosinistra otterrebbe 221 seggi, contro i 137 seggi del centrodestra. Lo scenario tiene conto della situazione attuale, con Futuro Nazionale fuori dalla coalizione di governo. Nel caso in cui corresse in solitaria, il partito dell'ex generale conquisterebbe 25 seggi. I centristi invece, eleggerebbero 11 deputati. Al Senato gli equilibri non cambierebbero. Al centrosinistra andrebbero 111 seggi, al centrodestra 72 seggi, mentre Futuro Nazionale raccoglierebbe 10 seggi. La classifica dei leader: Vincenzo De Luca in testa La classifica dei leader mostra l'ex governatore della Campania e sindaco di Salendo Vincenzo De Luca in testa, con il 39% di giudizi positivi. A brevissima distanza si posizionano Giuseppe Conte con il 38% e la premier Giorgia Meloni con il 36%. La sindaca di Genova Silvia Salis totalizza il 30%, seguita da Elly Schlein al 29% e da Antonio Tajani con il 27%. Matteo Salvini e Nicola Fratoianni sono pari merito con il 24%, mentre Carlo Calenda e Alessandro Onorato si posizionano un gradino più sotto, entrambi al 22%. Chiudono la graduatoria il governatore della Calabria Roberto Occhiuto, al 21%, Matteo Hallissey al 19% e Matteo Renzi con il 16%. Conte vince le primarie contro Schlein secondo i sondaggi Il centrosinistra non ha ancora fissato la linea sulle primarie, ma nell'ipotesi di una consultazione per definire la leadership del campo largo, Conte risulterebbe vincente. La previsione limita a considerare il duello con la segretaria Pd, escludendo l'eventualità di candidati terzi. In questo scenario, l'ex presidente del Consiglio prevale con il 42% delle preferenze, contro il 38% attribuito a Schlein. Un 11% degli intervistati si dichiara indeciso, mentre il 9% afferma che non voterebbe nessuno dei due candidati. Dall'analisi delle risposte emergono tuttavia, diversi livelli di coninvolgimento tra l'elettorato dem e quello pentastellato. Chi vota Schlein si mostra più convinto della sua scelta, con il 46% degli elettori "molto sicuro" e un altro 46% "abbastanza sicuro". Solo il 3% si definisce "poco sicuro" e il 2% indica che "potrebbe cambiare idea". L'elettorato di Conte invece, registra un 30% di "molto sicuri", un 47% di "abbastanza sicuri", un 2% di "poco sicuri" e un 5% che ammette la possibilità di ripensamento.

Blerina Matraku: I apologized to Klaudia; justice must find who distributed the footage New

Blerina Matraku: I apologized to Klaudia; justice must find who distributed the footage

Këngëtarja Blerina Matraku ka rrëfyer vështirësitë emocionale pas publikimit të videove intime që lidhen me kompozitorin Adi Hila.Ajo ka pretendoi në “Goca dhe Gra” se për shumë vite e kishte vlerësuar dhe besuar atë, por se më vonë kishte nisur të dyshonte për disa rrethana që, sipas saj nuk përputheshin me atë që kishte menduar.Matraku pranoi gjithashtu se ndien keqardhje për përfshirjen në këtë histori dhe për ndikimin që ajo mund të ketë pasur te persona të tjerë, duke theksuar se i ka kërkuar falje Klaudias, bashkëshortes së Adi Hilës dhe vajzave të tyre.“Është bërë një gjë e tillë që mua të më vendosin me shpatulla pas murit, sa unë të mos kem kurajë të ngre kokën, sa edhe unë t’i jap fund jetës sime. Unë do të vazhdoj të jetoj, të bëj vepra të mira, do t’i kushtohem njerëzve në nevojë. E penduar… Unë jam vënë me shpatulla pas murit. Jam penduar për marrëdhënien që kam krijuar me këtë njeri. Për pjesën tjetër kam qenë e frustruar. Unë kam qenë në një shok nervor që nuk thoja dot jo. Jam ndjerë pa zë. Unë për 20 vite e kam mbivlerësuar atë person dhe zbuloj që ai jo vetëm që nuk ka dashur një njeri, por ka përdorur edhe miq të tij. Kam dyshuar në një moment. Gjithmonë jam ndjerë që ka diçka që nuk shkon. Nuk të gaboka kurrë zemra. Nuk mund ta imagjinoj dot atë që më kanë parë sytë. Më ktheheshin sekuenca, më lidheshin puzzle. Jam person që vetësakrifikohem për të tjerët. Ishte diçka e pashpirt, nuk e meritoja. Përpara keni një person që ka pasur edhe dhunë emocionale me vete, që nuk thotë dot jo në disa momente. Ndihem me faj që nuk mbrojta dot veten, ky është faji im i vetëm, nuk duhet të ngatërrohesha. Pavarësisht nëse Adi ishte i ndarë apo jo, në një farë mënyre unë nuk do të doja t’i shihja Klaudian dhe vajzat në këtë situatë, për të cilën unë i kam kërkuar falje. Atë falje e kam kërkuar nga zemra, por nuk është e drejtë të cenohet dinjiteti im, privatësia ime. Si mundet një baba, një bashkëshort, një mik, një shok, një kompozitor, të vërë kamera sigurie dhe të mos vërë në dijeni ata njerëz që i besojnë, që shkojnë në shtëpinë e tij? Unë besoj te ligji, te e vërteta dhe e drejta. Do t’ia lë në dorë drejtësisë se kush i ka krijuar dhe shpërndarë ato pamje. Në këtë histori ka një masakër të madhe. Mua më është bërë një skenar i ndyrë, për të cilin unë nuk kam qenë krenare që e kam bërë, por kam qenë në fazën që kam qenë një njeri i turpëruar. Imagjino çfarë turpi mbaj unë mbi supe”, tha ajo.

Los animales de compañía también son recibidos en los albergues temporales de Colima, instalados con motivo del huracán Simon, como el del Colegio Nacional de Educación Profesional Técnica (Conalep) en Manzanillo.Autoridades informaron que perros y gatos tienen un espacio con sus dueños en este albergue, donde cuentan con un médico veterinario que estará atento de la salud y bienestar de las mascotas.Así fue el caso de ‘Jisus’ y ‘Canela’, dos lomitos que llegaron con sus dueños, una pareja joven que con cariño los llevó con correa y abrazó al más pequeño, ante el nerviosismo que presentaba.Para ellos, quienes ya han vivido varias inundaciones por ser de la colonia Francisco Villa, representa tranquilidad poder tenerlos en el albergue durante el paso del huracán, que se espera que impacte fuerte en las costas de Colima y Jalisco a medianoche y madrugada de este domingo.Este es solo uno de los cinco albergues abiertos en Manzanillo, Tecomán y Comala, donde las autoridades estiman alrededor de 50 personas hasta la tarde del sábado; sin embargo, conforme avanza la tarde continúan llegando más personas, en particular mujeres, menores y de la tercera edad.Para este fin, la Unidad Estatal de Protección Civil (UEPC), las direcciones municipales, bomberos y la Cruz Roja, con el apoyo de corporaciones federales, realizaron desde el viernes evacuaciones en zonas vulnerables.Sin embargo, la gran mayoría optó por irse con un familiar; incluso reportaron que esta mañana hubo una gran afluencia de vehículos de Manzanillo a la zona conurbada de Colima-Villa de Álvarez, con el fin de buscar un sitio seguro para resguardarse.

Red Nail Half-Moons May Signal Disease—but One Often Means an Injury New

Red Nail Half-Moons May Signal Disease—but One Often Means an Injury

See more of our coverage in your search results. Your nails might be trying to tell you something — and checking them could be the easiest way (hands down) to spot hidden health problems.Meaning “little moon” in Latin, lunulae are the half-moon shapes at the base of your nails. It’s where new nail cells are made and pushed forward. They’re most prominent on your thumbs and are smaller and less visible as you move out to the pinkies.Researchers analyzed studies going back to 1954, when the first research was published on a particular kind of unusual lunulae, to find exactly what the mini-moons can tell us about our health. New research says one nail abnormality could be a warning sign. oreans – stock.adobe.comLunulae are usually white, because the nail is thicker there, obscuring the blood vessels on the nail bed. That said, not everyone has them, and not having lunulae doesn’t indicate you’re unhealthy.But when you have lunulae that turn red, it could spell danger. “Red lunulae may reflect both systemic disease activity or local pathology,” the authors wrote.What reserachers foundNails are highly sensitive to health changes in the body. It needs a steady flow of nutrients, oxygen, and blood flow to grow continuously, and changes to any of these will affect the way they grow.For example, using GLP-1s has recently shown to be associated with discolored and detached nails.That’s why we’re been looking to our nails for so long as indicators of health. Back in that first 1954 report, researchers in London observed 61% of folks examined with red lunulae also had heart failure.All the others with red lunulae had some kind of systemic disease like emphysema and chronic bronchitis (both known as COPD), cirrhosis (longterm liver scarring), and cancer, including polycythemia vera (a blood cancer that causes thick, slow moving blood), lymphoma (cancer of white blood cells), and myeloid leukemia (cancer of blood and bone marrow). Researchers offered this example of a red lunulae on a 77-year-old man. Christopher G. Karim et al.Since then, more research has shown red lunulae are connected with autoimmune conditions like alopecia areata (which causes the hair to fall out in round patches), dermatomyositis (which causes skin rashes and muscle weakness), and systemic lupus erythematosus (aka SLE, which attacks healthy tissue and organs.)Author also note connections with congestive heart failure, psoriasis, carbon monoxide poisoning, and lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV), a sexually transmitted infection caused by certain variants of the Chlamydia bacteria.But exactly why red mini-moons on your nails are connected to any of these conditions “remains unclear,” authors say.They do point out though, that the association only exists if multiple fingernails have red lunulae — if it’s just one, something local like an injury under that nail, is more common.It’s also important to note that having a red lunulae doesn’t necessarily mean something’s wrong, just as having white ones doesn’t mean you’re perfectly healthy.Authors say that the review simply shows support for more investigation if a patient comes in with red lunulae.“Given the rarity of the occurrence, its potential diagnostic relevance is often overlooked,” write the researchers. “When identifying red lunulae, clinicians should consider connections to underlying systemic or dermatologic disease. This subtle clinical sign may facilitate early detection and identification of salient systemic disease.”

Michel Siffre spent 63 days without clocks—and thought a month remained New

Michel Siffre spent 63 days without clocks—and thought a month remained

Updated 17:26 10 Oct 2026 GMT+1Published 21:07 29 Apr 2024 GMT+1The late Michel Siffre's made some incredible findings while living 130 metres below the surface for more than 60 daysA man who helped put the concept of humans having a body clock to the test cut himself off from the entire world to prove his point. The late Michel Siffre - a respected explorer, adventurer and scientist who passed away in August 2024 - left quite the impressive legacy behind. Inspired by the space race, the Frenchman, 85, conducted a groundbreaking investigation into how humans experience time back in 1962 when he was just 23-years-old. He relinquished his wrist watch before heading 130 metres below the surface in the abyss of Scarasson, a mountain in the Ligurian Alps, in the name of science more than six decades ago.Why Siffre did itArmed with only a torch, Siffre set up camp as best he could next to a glacier in a bid to find out how the absence of external cues reminding us it's night and day could affect biological rhythms.AdvertWith a particular interest in how the lack of light would affect him, Siffre slept and ate only when his body told him to rather than keeping to the rigid timings the rest of the world follows because society says so.He lived below the surface completely alone for a whopping 63 days for the sake of scientific development - and he emerged, albeit with severe sensitivity to daylight, victorious.Michel Siffre emerging from the cave after two months in 1962 (Keystone/Getty Images)That's because when Siffre became something of a cave dweller, he made a series of incredible findings regarding how humans respond to living with zero information about time - with no clocks, calendars or sunshine to remind him.He discovered that our bodies have their own clocks, which is now known as chronobiology.All at the age of 23 - a phase in our lives which most people reserve for binge drinking and one night stands.What living without time was likeSpeaking of his landmark expedition, Siffre told Cabinet Magazine in 2008: "This idea came to me—this idea that became the idea of my life. I decided to live like an animal, without a watch, in the dark, without knowing the time."Instead of studying caves, you ended up studying time. Yes, I invented a simple scientific protocol. I put a team at the entrance of the cave. "I decided I would call them when I woke up, when I ate, and just before I went to sleep. My team didn’t have the right to call me, so that I wouldn’t have any idea what time it was on the outside."Without knowing it, I had created the field of human chronobiology."Despite having 'bad equipment', only a 'small camp' to live in, dealing with below freezing temperatures and extremely high humidity, Siffre managed to keep his head in the game - or so he thought.The scientist says he passed the time over the two months by 'reading, writing and doing research' in the cave, while also daydreaming about his future often.His first underground expedition at the age of 23 changed science (PHILIPPE DESMAZES/AFP via Getty Images)The effectsHe explained that he kept tabs on himself by conducting two tests each time he called to his team on the surface, which were taking his pulse and carrying out his own 'psychological test'.Siffre explained: "I had to count from 1 to 120, at the rate of one digit per second. With that test we made a great discovery: it took me five minutes to count to 120. "In other words, I psychologically experienced five real minutes as though they were two."Although you may think this is probably an easy mistake to make while living in a cave for two months, it was in fact an extraordinary discovery about the effect of living without time prompts.Siffre was essentially experiencing everything twice as slow as they actually were - so if all you people who wish 'time would slow down' really want to experience it, it sounds like you just need to move into a cave for a couple of months.The Frenchman only came to this stark realisation when his colleagues informed him that the day had finally arrived for him to finish the experiment - which came as quite a shock, as he believed he had an entire month left of it."My psychological time had compressed by a factor of two," Siffre said.The Frenchman incredibly went back to cave dwelling for a six-month period in the US in 1972 (Patrick Durand/Sygma via Getty Images)Siffre's theoriesHe explained that he had been investigating the disconnect between psychological time and an actual clock for forty years and had came up with his own theory about the reason why this happened to him.Siffre continued: "I believe that when you are surrounded by night - the cave was completely dark, with just a light bulb - your memory does not capture the time. You forget. "After one or two days, you don’t remember what you have done a day or two before. The only things that change are when you wake up and when you go to bed. Besides that, it’s entirely black. It’s like one long day."But even after all that, the 63-day streak holed up inside a cave wasn't enough for Siffre and he decided to head back into the darkness a decade later.But this time, he'd be having a six-month stay in a cave in Texas.After organising dozens of other underground time isolation experiments in the ten years in between, the Nice-born adventurer decided to isolate himself for half of a year to see what happened to his internal clock.He again made another incredible discovery, as he found that without time cues, people adjusted to a 48-hour cycle rather than the 24-hour one we're all used to.NASA used the findings from Siffre's experiments to help astronauts who had reported experiencing similar short-term memory problems after being isolated from external time references.
