A new study suggests that bringing your smartphone into the bathroom could raise your risk of hemorrhoids by nearly 50%.Researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) in Boston found that adults who use their phones while sitting on the toilet face a 46% higher risk of developing the painful condition, according to findings published this week in the journal PLOS One.The study surveyed 125 adults undergoing colonoscopies and compared their bathroom habits. Of the participants, 66% admitted to using their phones on the toilet.HOW TO AVOID GETTING 'OFFICE CHAIR BUTT' FROM PROLONGED SITTING AT WORKPeople who said they took their phone into the bathroom were 46% more likely to have hemorrhoids compared to the others, regardless of age, weight, sex or fiber intake. Hemorrhoids swollen veins in or around the rectum and anus that can cause pain, itching and bleeding are often linked to straining during bowel movements and prolonged sitting on the toilet.About 37% of participants who brought their phones into the bathroom sat for longer than five minutes, while only 7% of non-users lingered that long.Younger adults, particularly those in their 40s and 50s, were especially prone to the habit compared to those over 60. Respondents said they typically used their phones to read news, scroll social media, or send texts and emails.5 SMART SETTINGS TO MAKE YOUR PHONE WORK HARDER"Whether someone is reading email or playing a game, the risk likely comes from how long theyre sitting," said lead author Dr. Chethan Ramprasad, a gastroenterologist at Beth Israel Deaconess and faculty member at Harvard Medical School.The risk remained even when researchers accounted for other factors including straining, fiber intake and exercise routines."This extended duration may be linked to the passive engagement that smartphones facilitate, potentially resulting in prolonged sitting and increased pressure in the hemorrhoidal cushions," the researchers wrote.COLORECTAL CANCER MAY CAUSE THESE 4 HIDDEN WARNING SIGNS, EXPERTS SAYToilets keep the rectum and pelvic floor unsupported compared to sitting in a chair, causing more pressure on rectal veins, according to the researchers.Ramprasad noted that posture can also play a role and that toilet stools, which prop up the feet and put the body in a more natural squatting position to help eliminate straining, can help, but do not solve the underlying problem.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER"Tools like a Squatty Potty can reduce straining, but they wont offset the risk of just sitting too long," he said. "If youre on your phone for 10 minutes, youre still exposing those veins to pressure."Hemorrhoids are among the most frequent gastrointestinal complaints in the United States, sending nearly 4 million people to clinics and emergency rooms each year, according to BIDMC.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthThe researchers called for long-term studies to confirm causality and explore prevention strategies, and while younger participants were more likely to use their phones and had higher hemorrhoid prevalence, they can't say yet if that is because of phone use specifically or other age-related behavior.In the meantime, Ramprasad advises to keep things moving."Do what you need to do, then stand up and move on," he said. "Dont turn the bathroom into a scrolling break."

Philanthropist and billionaire heiress Liz Simons, who donated $250,000 to New Yorkers for Lower Costs, a PAC supporting Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani, oversees a foundation that is reportedly behind the push to bring "woke math" to public schools.Critics told the New York Post that the math program was aimed at turning children into socialist revolutionaries.While a typical math problem challenges a child to answer a quantitative question, race-neutral math incorporates social issues into questions and doesn't focus on numbers alone. The outlet noted that while the approach has been embraced in states like California, others, including Florida, have rejected it.PRO-MAMDANI SUPER PAC TAKES HEFTY CHECK FROM ULTRA-WEALTHY DONOR DESPITE SAYING BILLIONAIRES SHOULDN'T EXISTThe Heising-Simons Foundation, which Simons co-founded with her husband, Mark Heising, has given $1.7 million since 2023 to the Racial Justice in Early Mathematics (RJEM) Project at Chicagos Erikson Institute, according to the Post.RJEM was established in December 2019 and led by Dr. Jennifer McCray, of the Erikson Institute, and Dr. Danny Bernard Martin, of the University of Illinois Chicago. A January 2023 press release by the Erikson Institute says the project "focuses on addressing issues of systemic racial injustices in the math education of young learners."BERNIE SANDERS, ZOHRAN MAMDANI TEAM UP TO 'FIGHT OLIGARCHY' IN NYCThe statement goes on to describe RJEMs main goals as identifying issues of racial injustice in early math that spark "difficult (and often uncomfortable) conversations" about racism and offer educators the opportunity to develop practices "that foster racial justice."On its website, the Heising-Simons Foundation says its mission is "to advance sustainable solutions in climate and clean energy, enable groundbreaking research in science, enhance the education of our youngest learners and support human rights for all people."Mamdani, a self-described Democratic socialist, stunned observers when he secured the Democratic nomination for New York City mayor in June.Despite his far-left stances, Mamdani has gotten the backing of Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y. Another establishment Democrat, Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., meanwhile, has been more cautious of Mamdani.Mamdani has also been supported by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and he hosted an event on Saturday in Brooklyn with Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.Fox News Digital reached out to the Heising-Simons Foundation for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

A 13-year-old New Hampshire boy hauled in the catch of a lifetime this week, a massive 177-pound Atlantic halibut that outweighed him and could set a new junior world record.Jackson Denio, who stands 5-foot-9 and weighs 120 pounds, set out on an overnight deep-sea fishing trip with about 30 other people off Cashes Ledge, a fishing ground off the New England Coast. He caught the fish on Monday morning."I think I screamed, honestly," Denio told The Associated Press. "I don't know exactly what happened, but I was very excited."'SHARKS WONT DO ANYTHING TO YOU': FLORIDA SPEARFISHERMAN ATTACKED BY SHARK MINUTES AFTER REASSURING FAMILYCatching a halibut in New England is rare, Denio said, because the fish are more commonly found in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest."Halibut this size is like a once-in-a-lifetime fish catching in the Atlantic," he added.By Monday, those aboard Al Gaurons Deep Sea Fishing and Whale Watching boat had caught plenty of pollock and other fish when Denio told them he wanted to catch a shark.He dropped his hook, which was baited with pollock, and, soon after, the line pulled straight down a telltale sign of halibut.LARGEST GREAT WHITE SHARK RECORDED IN ATLANTIC SPOTTED OFF POPULAR BEACH TOWN"The line was pretty much straight up and down the whole fight, which usually means a halibut," Denio recalled. "A shark kind of would run up and to the side a little bit, but it was straight up and down. That's the way they swim. They move their head and their tail and whack it hard."Footage from the trip (see video at top) shows the crew cheering as Denio fought the fish for about 30 minutes before finally tiring it out."He did not let go once," said Jim Walsh, the captain of the boat. "He never let anybody else touch the rod."FISHERMAN LANDS ENORMOUS 56-POUND ALMACO JACK, BREAKING STATE RECORD"We looked and went, Oh my God, look what it is,'" Walsh said."It was great," he added.

"For a kid his size to be able to bring in a 170-something-pound fish is, you know, pretty awesome."Atlantic halibut are the largest flatfish in the world and can reach weights of well over 600 pounds.Denio believes his catch is 20 pounds larger than the existing record, and now he's aiming to beat his personal best."It makes me want to keep fishing even more and try and beat the record if I can," he said.The Associated Press contributed reporting.

There was some extracurricular activity involving Travis Kelce during Friday night's game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers.On a 3rd and 1, Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt got a first down with the help of Kelce blocking on the line, but the tight end blocked a little bit longer after the whistle blew.Chargers defensive lineman Teair Tart took exception and hit Kelce right in the helmet with an open hand.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMIt was a personal foul, moving the Chiefs up, and, on the very next snap, Patrick Mahomes scampered for an 11-yard touchdown.Tart was not ejected because a league rule says a closed fist, not an open hand, warrants an ejection.

At 15, Norma Countryman chewed through her bindings to escape a suspected serial killer.The case of a man in Washington, Warren Forrest a convicted double murderer believed to be connected to a series of homicides from the early 1970s is the focus of a new true-crime podcast by Lemonada Media, "Stolen Voices of Dole Valley."The series, hosted by Carolyn Ossorio, takes an in-depth look at the case through the eyes of loved ones and investigators. In it, Countryman shares her story in hopes her account will spark new leads for families still seeking justice.NOTORIOUS SCORECARD KILLER LINKED TO DECADES-OLD MURDER NEARLY 45 YEARS LATERForrest has been behind bars since 1974. In 1978, he was convicted of murdering 20-year-old Krista Blake. In 2023, he was found guilty of killing 17-year-old Martha Morrison in 1974. Investigators are reexamining other unsolved cases linked to Forrest, including the 1974 murder of 20-year-old Carol Valenzuela, whose remains were discovered near Morrisons."Warren Forrest got away with so much," Ossorio told Fox News Digital. "He flew under the radar for years. The survivors and the victims families want this reckoning. They want justice."Countrymans nightmare began on a hot day in July 1974. She was sitting by the side of the road in Ridgefield smoking a cigarette. According to Ossorio, Countryman was "dealing with abuse" at home and needed to get away. As she sat outside, a shiny blue van pulled up. Forrest was at the wheel. He appeared friendly and asked if she wanted a ride.Countryman declined, recalling how her mother had warned her never to talk to strangers. But the man with piercing blue eyes pressed her, offering to drive her home. Eventually, she relented."He just kept slowly pressuring, pushing, manipulating," said Ossorio. "But he didnt appear threatening. And it was a ride that would forever change her life."Once inside the van, Forrest held a knife to Countrymans neck and drove her to a remote area near Tukes Mountain. As she begged for her life, he punched her in the face and gagged her with her bra. He hogtied her and secured her between two trees. During the attack, he took her glasses, Ossorio said.FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON XForrest left Countryman in the woods. Fearing he would return, she gnawed through the ropes until she broke free."The first thought that came to me was, if he comes back and finds me like this, he really will kill me," Countryman recalled on the podcast.Countryman stumbled through the woods and survived the night. A park employee found her the next morning."The police were called, and she wasnt believed," Ossorio said. "And if she had been, two other women most likely would not have been murdered. Norma had to live with that."It would be nearly 20 years before Countryman publicly shared her story, The Columbian reported. One of Forrests known murder victims was found near where she had been tied up."You can really see the damage it caused Norma," Ossorio said. "She lived with it her entire life and was never offered therapy. You can see the layers of trauma."SIGN UP TO GET THE TRUE CRIME NEWSLETTERForrest was first apprehended in 1974 the same year as Countrymans attack after kidnapping, raping and attempting to kill a 19-year-old woman near Lacamas Lake, the Clark County Sheriffs Office told Fox News Digital. The woman survived and helped investigators identify Forrest, who at the time worked for the Clark County Parks Department. He was married with two daughters.WATCH: FOX NATION DOCUMENTARY HIGHLIGHTS SERIAL KILLERS MYSTERIOUS AMAZON REVIEWSDetectives began linking Forrest to other disappearances and murders between 1971 and 1974 in the years that followed."Warren portrays himself as a victim a victim of Vietnam," Ossorio said. "He claimed he came back differently, though we dont know his full military record.""Jamie Grissim is believed to be Forrests first victim in Clark County," Ossorio said. "She disappeared in December 1971 and was never found. Her belongings turned up in Dole Valley five months later. She was 16 and in foster care. She and her sister Starr were inseparable. To this day, Starr has never given up hope of finding her.""The way Starr tells it to me, she hears Jamie saying, Find me," said Ossorio. "Starr believes shes somewhere out in Dole Valley."Despite his conviction, Forrest, now 76, has continued to file parole applications. All have been unsuccessful due to his status as a suspect in multiple violent crimes."In the podcast, we play recordings of him speaking to the parole board," Ossorio said. "He cant even fake empathy or remorse."In 2014, investigators reexamined evidence from several cases, sending an air pistol once owned by Forrest to the Washington State Patrol Crime Laboratory. A bloodstain was discovered that matched Morrisons DNA. That breakthrough led to Forrest being charged with her murder in 2019.GET REAL-TIME UPDATES DIRECTLY ON THE TRUE CRIME HUBIn early 2024, Clark County Sheriff John Horch reestablished a cold case team focused on Forrests crimes. With the help of modern DNA technology, investigators are analyzing trace evidence, including hair and nail samples from Forrests van."The sheriffs office is pressing him to confess to these unsolved cases," Ossorio said. "Its possible there are victims in other states because of his military service. But he insists he doesnt remember. What we know is that he avoids publicity. He doesnt like to talk about his crimes. Hes not the kind of serial killer who brags. He just wants silence. But the pressure is on."Ossorio said loved ones wont stop pushing for answers. The Clark County Sheriffs Office told Fox News Digital in a statement that it remains committed to bringing justice to the victims and their families.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"Listening to these stories will make you sad, but they will also inspire you," said Ossorio. "These are people who are fighting for justice, for answers. And through trauma, theyve leaned on each other. Its a story of not giving up."

The looming possibility of Kilmar Abrego Garcias latest deportation led to global Google searches for the small African nation of Eswatini.Eswatini, formerly known as Swaziland, is largely surrounded by South Africa and is partially bordered by Mozambique. It has a population of over 1.2 million, according to the World Bank. At just 6,704 square miles, its a similar size to the land area of Hawaii.Abrego Garica was originally going to be deported to Uganda from the U.S., but his attorneys listed Uganda as a "persecution or torture risk," along with over 20 other countries, many of which are in Latin America.ABREGO GARCIA RENEWS PUSH FOR ASYLUM IN US, REVEALS NEW COUNTRY WILLING TO ACCEPT HIM"That claim of fear is hard to take seriously, especially given that you have claimed (through your attorneys) that you fear persecution or torture in at least 22 different countries," an ICE notice states.The Department of Homeland Security posted to X on Friday that "Homie is afraid of the entire western hemisphere."CLICK HERE FOR MORE IMMIGRATION COVERAGEThe name was changed to Eswatini by its king in 2018.

Similar to Baldwin, he took aim at the president this week after Trump said Chicago was the "worst and most dangerous city" on social media."Yesterday, Donald Trump made a hard right onto the fascism freeway, announcing that he will deploy National Guard troops to Chicago," Colbert said during his monologue. "Worst and most dangerous? Two words: "F--- you!" Colbert said after reading Trump's post.Colbert also told Trump "go f--- yourself" in July after the president celebrated the cancellation of the comedian's show.Shonda Rhimes, who created popular television series such as "Scandal" and "Grey's Anatomy," was also in attendance.

"Arguably, the celebrity program is our biggest marketing tool."According to the report, a celebrity's status is leverage for promoting the sport and the event. USTA hired a communications and consulting firm to help in those efforts."They track every person that comes on site," Wight told The Times. "What they are posting, who they are tagging, who they are coming with. Then we are able to get a value of what the program is worth to us."According to the Wight, the mens final is the most sought-after ticket. And this year, President Trump will be there for it.USTA confirmed to The Associated Press that the president will be in attendance as a client guest, but did not identify who he would be a guest of. Trump has previously attended the tournament in years past.In a statement to Fox News Digital regarding the criteria for invitations, a USTA spokesperson said the following."Regardless of political affiliation, the USTA does not invite any NY city or state politicians unless they have a formal role at the event (in prior years the mayor greeted the crowd on opening night)."As Federal employees are limited in what they can accept, we offer those who ask the opportunity to purchase tickets. Additionally, individuals may be the invited guests of someone else (sponsors, seat holders, etc), over which we have no control."The mens final between Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will begin Sunday at 2 p.m. ET."It is a privilege for the tournaments having the presidents from every country [there] to support the tournaments, to support tennis, and to support the match," Alcaraz said of playing in front of Trump. "To be honest, I will try not to be focused, and I will try not to think about it. I dont want myself to be nervous because of it.""I think attending the tennis match, I think it's great for tennis to have the president into the final."Fox News Digitals Hanna Panreck and The Associated Press contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
