Fortunately,they only rarely occur on the face;but they do appear in most otherparts of the body – from head to toe,especially the toe.Tinea on the toes and elsewhereon the foot – commonly called“athlete’s foot” – is probably the bestknown of all the fungal infections.It’s caused by a group of fungi called“dermatophytes”. Areas of the bodyother than the feet can be affected.Fungal nail infections which arenotoriously difficult to treat aregenerally caused by this kind offungus.Other forms of fungal infectionsare caused by yeasts and moulds.The infection known as candidiasis,or thrush, is caused by the Candidaspecies of yeasts. Candida infectionsmay be easily confused with otherfungal infections such as tinea orbacterial infections such as impetigoor even non-infectious skinproblems such as eczema orpsoriasis.Candidiasis commonly affectsthose parts of the body where skinrubs against skin, especially if theenvironment is warm and moist. Ifthe patient – man, woman or child –is overweight or obese, the risk iseven greater still. So, the areaswhere you are likely to see thosebeasty yeasts multiply (or ratherwhere you would like to avoid seeingthem), are the groin, under thebreasts, the armpits and maybebeneath the beer gut.Candidiasis of the skin usuallyresponds well to topical treatments.Products containing nystatin areeffective but the broader spectrumimidazoles (such as Canesten,Clonea, Daktarin, Mycospor,Nizoral, Pevaryl or Resolve) will be abetter choice if infection withdermatophytes (tinea) is alsosuspected.If the area is inflamed or itchy, acombination of one of the imidazoleantifungals plus hydrocortisonemight be useful (products such asHydrozole or Resolve Plus which areavailable directly from yourpharmacist). In most cases of nappyrash, Candida infection is present,so one of these creams is anappropriate treatment.A regular routine associatedwith nappy changes will help reducethe risk of thrush infection: changenappies frequently and do not useplastic overpants or nappy linersGALLOWAYSPHARMACYKING STREET SCOTTSDALEwhichprevent the skin fromdrying; use a soap substitute anddispersible oil for bathing; use adamp cloth or baby wipes that do notcontain alcohol; and apply anemollient such as zinc and castor oilcream after each nappy change –your pharmacist can recommend asuitable product.Oral thrush is also common inbabies; but not only babies. Olderpeople (with a less competentimmune system) and denturewearers are at increased risk, asare smokers and people with achronic dry mouth condition.People who use so-calledcorticosteroid preventer puffersfor asthma may also be at risk ifthe mouth is not rinsed properlyafter using the puffer.Various antifungal gels anddrops are available to treat oralthrush. If dry mouth is a triggerfactor, then saliva stimulatoryproducts will be useful. Speciallyformulated mouthwashes, gels,gums and toothpaste can help.Oral thrush in adults cansometimes be a sign of a moreserious underlying condition; so itneeds to be investigated.Vaginal thrush can beparticularly uncomfortable, andrecurrence is common. Creamsand pessaries are available to treatvaginal thrush; and they come inseven day, three day or single dosetherapy. The single dosetreatments are usually onlyeffective for the first or infrequentepisodes. A single dose oraltreatment (fluconazole) is now alsoavailable and may be chosen whenthe topical treatments (creams andpessaries) have not beensuccessful, or if the preference isfor oral therapy.Thrush symptoms can be verydistressing but they can be treatedeffectively and comparativelyeasily. A summary of the causes,the aggravating factors, thetreatment and the self help hintsto reduce the risk of re-infection, isprinted on the recently updatedFact Card titled Thrush.The card is available from allpharmacies around Australiawhich provide the PharmaceuticalSociety’s Self Care healthinformation.

12 - THE NORTH EASTERN ADVERTISER WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 2009ADVERTISERSPORTMagpies overwhelmedby stronger oppositionTHE unpredictableScottsdale showed its darkside on Saturday when itwas soundly beaten by amore determined andphysically strongerRocherlea. T h eMagpies just didn't appearas if they'd come to playand paid the penalty.Rocherlea is a smallground but is in perfectcondition, and excusesabout the narrow confinesof the oval don't carry anycredence.Rocherlea's engine roomwas better in the clinches,and clearly won thecontested ball count. On therare occasions the Magpiesdid get their hands near theball they were buffeted andbodied off it, and if theydid get their hands on itthey were forced intohurried disposal and had togo wide.Scottsdale is still a workin progress when it comesto clearances. The currentteam lacks players who canstand up in tackles and whoare slick enough to releasethe ball accurately from thescrum of bodies in a pack.After quarter time theMagpies' decision-makingand execution wasdeplorable and the playerswill have to improve theirball use if they are to turnaround their performancein a fortnight.In attack they didn'thave a winner. CaptainMichael Rainbow had a• Nowhere to go. Marc Nunan is surrounded by opposition players on Saturday,which typified the Magpies' performance.rare poor day and it didn'tget any better when he wasmoved on to theintimidating Wickham atthe other end.Coach Anthony Taylorwas completely blanketed,but neither the coach northe captain were helped bythe poor delivery fromfurther upfield.Taylor is going to winmost one-on-one contests ashe did against Bracknellbut when the ball use issloppy, he'll struggle. Therewas no system going inside50 on Saturday, and simplybombing the ball longallowed Rocherlea to dropplayers back.The Magpie defenderswere given the runaroundand run ragged, and theirtackles just didn't stick.Finding decent playerswas difficult.Corey Binns wascompetitive, CameronWalker was good especiallyearly, Jacob Hughesprovided some run andcheek when he came on,and Troy Milne alwaysprovided a contest.The Magpies now havetwo weeks to lick theirwounds, and re-think theirstrategy for its next crucialmatch at home againstBridgenorth.Five Scottsdale playersremain in the 26 man NTFAsquad which will play theNTFL at York Park onSaturday. They are RobbieBesanvalle, Joe Boyce,Geoff Mohr, MichaelRainbow and DanielRoozendaal.The final team of 22 willbe named later this week.Crows fly highin netballbySarah ForsythIN cool conditions, Magpiestook on Crows. In a highscoring first quarterMagpies were on top withLucy Dennis and LaurenAtkins dominating thecentre court and they wentinto the first break three up.Both sides madechanges and Crows cameinto the game with the helpof Megan Butler, and aninjury to Magpies' Jill Kerrcaused more changes to bemade. A 13 goal thirdquarter by the Crows sawthem take the lead with theexperience of KelceyLockhart and Stacey Whitea key factor.Megan Jensen triedhard to keep the Magpies inthe game and they wentinto the last break trailingby five. An injury to CrowsHaylee Kerrison in thethird quarter forced themto change their lineup, butit didn’t seem to affect themand they extended theirlead to win by 11.In the other match,Dorset played Swifts and itwas a close first quarterwith young Kelsie Rainbowfor Dorset showing that sheis one to watch in thefuture.Felicity Kettle andRachelle Brill for Swiftscombined well through themid court and workedextremely hard to get theball onto the circle. Dorset’sD’Arne Lester used preciseball movement in attackand worked overtime to getthe ball and Dorset wentinto half time with a 10 goallead. They extended thelead in the third quarterwhich strong reboundingfrom Sandra Bayles, andwhile Kresta Davis workedtirelessly in defense for theSwifts, the stronger, morephysical Dorset ran outwinners by 21.SCORESCrows 46 d Magpies 35Best: Crows – Megan Butler, Stacey White, KelceyLockhart.Magpies – Megan Jensen, Lucy Dennis, Lauren Atkins.Dorset 40 d Swifts 19Best: Dorset – Sandra Bayles, Kelsie Rainbow, D’ArneLester.Swifts – Felicity Kettle, Rachelle Brill, Kresta Davis.Next Week: 6.30 pm - Magpies v Dorset, Swifts v Crows.Tight at the top in NEFUROSTER matches in theNEFU are suspended thisweek with interassociationgames to beplayed at York Park onSaturday. The senior teamwill play the NTFA Div 2,while the Under 16s willmeet the NTJFA.After five rounds, thecompetition is very even.Lilydale, Ringarooma andWinnaleah are lockedtogether on four winseach with Branxholm infourth place on 12 points.Bridport has won twogames and is probably theonly team currently out ofthe four with any chanceof playing finals.The Demons dropped agame against theimproving Branxholmbut responded byinflicting Winnaleah'sfirst defeat last week. Newcoach Clint Parker hasbeen joined by a numberof new players at Lilydale,and his team looks set foranother successfulseason.Reigning premiersRingarooma is also ontarget to defend its title.Coach Heath Fox haspromoted more localplayers this season andthey are having a positiveimpact.Winnaleah lost its firstgame last week but werenot disgraced. TheMagpies have beenboosted by former coachClive Poulton and they areperforming better thanexpected. Coach MarkKerr would be happy witha 4:1 win loss ratio at thisstage of the season.Branxholm's newrecruits who are mostlyformer local playersreturning home, and arebeginning to combinewell as a unit. Lee Nicholswho has endured sometough years with theWanderers is enjoying theexcellent ball use fromthe classy onballers andis kicking plenty of goals.Bridport is improvingand coach Jay Forsythwas understandablyproud of his team's gutsywin last week. Haydn Foxhas been a good pick-up,but the Port will have towin games against teamsabove it on the ladder tochallenge for a finals spot.Both St Helens and theCrows are struggling. StHelens has been in aposition to win more thanone game, but rarely putsfour quarters togetherwhile the Crows are shorton quality players andhave suffered some majorthrashings.NEFU LADDERSSeniorsLilydale 16Ringarooma 16Winnaleah 16Branxholm 12Bridport 8St Helens 4Crows 0ReservesLilydale 20Ringarooma 16Winnaleah 12Branxholm 12St Helens 8Crows 4Bridport 0Under 16sLilydale 20St Helens 16Bridport 16Branxholm 12Crows 8Winnaleah 0Ringarooma 0SPECIALS TO MAY 17BEERRTDS SPIRITS WINEBOAGS CLASSIC BLONDE $41.98TOOHEYS RED BLOCK $33.98CROWN LAGER $45.98COUGAR PREMIX 6 PK $17.98BLACK DOUGLAS PREMIX 6 PK $17.98WILD TURKEY PREMIX 4 PK $16.98VODKA CRUISERS 4 PK $11.98BLACK DOUGLAS 700ML $30.98WILD TURKEY 700ML $38.98ERISTOFF VODKA 700ML $26.98KAHLUA 700ML $30.98ROSEMOUNT DIAMOND LABEL 2 FOR $22.00BROWN BROS MOSCATO $12.98JACOBS CREEK RANGE $8.98BOTTLESHOPCLASSICBLONDE$41.99FREE VISOR BEANIECASCADEPREMIUM LIGHT$28.99JAMESON IRISHWHISKEY700 ML $36.99BLACKDOUGLAS 700 ML2 FOR $60GUNN ESTATE (NZ)SAUV BLANC750 ML $9.99DE BORTOLICASKS 4 LT2 FOR $30.00ScottsdaleLiquor Market37 King St ScottsdalePhone: 6352 2411BRIDPORT•HOTEL•Main Street BridportMainPhone:Street6356Bridport1114Phone: 6356 1114
