COVID-19 in South Africa: 21st December

COVID-19 in South Africa: 21st December

Most South Africans have called an end to the work year, and while that would normally be cause for celebration, there is still the pandemic to worry about, especially as the country finds itself in the midst of a second wave of infections during the festive season.
To that end the latest report for COVID-19 in South Africa from the National Department of Health (NDoH) sees the total number of…

During A’s recovery, therapy appointments/visits occur like clockwork in order to maintain a memorable routine. 

However, one day A wakes up, and realises they’ve slept past the time the nurse comes to do their rounds. Had they slept through it? They don’t normally… They sit and wait, noting that soon the physical therapist should be arriving. When they don’t, A worries more: even more so when their friend/significant other doesn’t arrive at their scheduled time. 

It’s at this point (running low on painkillers and patience), that A takes it upon themselves to investigate. 

They could find that 1) The friends/doctors/nurses have all been kidnapped and being held hostage in another medical ward and require saving. Or 2) An evil entity roams the halls, chasing after A at every chance they get until A manages to evade their pursuit.

Either way, it all ends when they wake up again… in their bed and surrounded by the medical team and worried friends.

Apparently their condition worsened due to an infection, and they had spent the better part of a week staving off a near deadly fever.

So imagine a character who gets stabbed and it’s not like fatal but the wound is large so it’s very uncomfortable anyways they can’t go to a hospital because what he did to get hurt was illegal

But his team has to have this meeting while he’s still hurt and has to sit through it while pretending he was fine despite infection starting to take place and being so uncomfortable.

Salk Institute researchers have just given us all a new view of immune cells using super-resolution

Salk Institute researchers have just given us all a new view of immune cells using super-resolution microscopy. The images above show T-Cell receptors during an immune response, and are the first pictures to show this process in lymph nodes. Every new image and discovery in this field gets us closer to a more total understanding how our body’s immune system works, and perhaps how to apply our own immunities to treat autoimmune diseases, infections or cancer.

“We had seen these receptors cluster and reposition in cultured cells that were artificially stimulated in the lab, but we’ve never seen their natural arrangements in lymph nodes until now,” says senior author Björn Lillemeier, an associate professor in Salk’s Nomis Laboratories for Immunobiology and Microbial Pathogenesis, and the Waitt Advanced Biophotonics Center.

Learn more about this amazing discovery here, and don’t forget to spend a few seconds marveling at these amazing photographs of this microscopic world inside us all!

Welcome back to Mangled Mondays, where every Monday we talk about another facet of maiming, mangling, mauling, and mistreating your main characters — and all of their friends. 

Today we’ll be talking about Wound Care. For the rest of the Mangled Mondays series, [click here].

]Wound care is, in and of itself, an enormous topic. There are entire teams in hospitals dedicated to wound care and helping people heal.. To cover it in one chapter is a hopeless endeavor.

How to Clean a Cut

Cleaning a wound has two goals: getting out obvious pieces of dirt or other contaminants, and killing bacteria that are located in the wound. This is generally accomplished with irrigation (running sterile water or tap water through the wound) and application of an antiseptic. Antiseptics are materials, usually liquids, that are used to kill bacteria.

Antiseptics are actually pretty controversial in medicine, and it’s okay if your characters choose touse them, or choose notto use them. Neither answer is “right,” although if the wound has been exposed to something like mud or a dirty river, your characters will likely choose to use an antiseptic.

The argument in favor of using antiseptics is that they kill bacteria, which theoretically improves wound healing and is safer in the long run. Bacterial infections compete for nutrients with the damaged tissue and cause prolonged inflammation of the wound. This is especially true in characters whose immune systems are compromised or who may not have ideal circulation to the wounded area, such as diabetics or those with HIV.

The argument against antiseptics is that they may, on a cellular level, damage the tissue most in need of healing.

If your characters are going to use antiseptics on their wounds, they’ll likely use povidine-iodine (known in the biz by a popular brand name, Betadine) or hydrogen peroxide to clean their wounds. Alcohols aren’t recommended, becaeuse they tend to damage the cells of the tissue that’s trying to heal.

(It’s worth noting, by the way, that doctors are split over hydrogen peroxide for initial wound cleaning; the doctors who edited this book agreed that Betadine is better for ongoing wound care.)

However, whatever a character has always used is what they will reach for in their time of crisis.

Open or Closed?

When it comes to the decision to close a wound with sutures, time is an important factor.

A wound that remains open for 24 hours after the initial injury is actually better off staying open. It has a better chance of healing well on its own than it will if it’s closed after 24 hours, and many doctors have a hard 12-hour cutoff for wound closure. One guideline is that after 6–8 hours, wounds that aren’t on the face or scalp will be left open.

Missing Flesh or Bite Wound = Open Approach

The deeper the wound, the more likely an open approach will be used. That’s because closing a wound over missing tissue entraps bacteria and makes it likely that infection will develop where it cannot drain.

Bite wounds cannot be sutured for the same reason wounds that have removed chunks of flesh cannot be sutured: bacteria trapping can be fatal. Bites are especially prone to bacterial infection, because mouths are filthy, filthy places filled with bacteria. If your character chooses not to seek medical help for a cat or human bite, it’s particularly likely to get infected; a dog bite is less so.

Surgical Wounds = Drains

Surgical incisions into the chest or the abdomen typically have a plastic tube left in place to drain the wound in order to make sure that no fluid builds up in the cavity. Not only does this help prevent infection, it reduces the time it takes to heal and allows the staff to be certain that a wound is healing well on the inside.

If an incision and the underlying surgical wounds are healing well, the drain can usually be removed in 1–3 days.

With the improvement of people’s living standards, they pay more and more attention to their own health, and they often learn some health-preserving methods in their lives. Probiotics are one of the most popular in recent years, but in our lives, probiotics are often supplemented by babies and children. In fact, for adult friends, probiotics can be taken, don’t you believe it? Let’s take a look.

1. Improve constipation and diarrhea.

Probiotics can adjust the intestinal microecological balance and improve constipation and diarrhea. Probiotics enter the human intestinal tract in the form of live bacteria, and through growth and metabolism, promote the normal intestinal flora and inhibit the production of spoilage in the intestine, thereby ensuring the normal function of the intestine.

2. Relieve symptoms of lactose intolerance and promote nutrient absorption in the body.

Probiotics can break down lactose into lactic acid, reduce lactose intolerance, and help the digestion and absorption of nutrients in the intestine. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus can not only produce various vitamins, but niacin and folic acid can also protect the supply of vitamins by inhibiting the decomposition of certain vitamins. In addition, the Bifidobacterium among the probiotics can also reduce blood ammonia and improve liver function.

3. Prevent vaginal infections.

Probiotics are not a kind of bacteria. They contain many kinds of bacteria. Some of these bacteria can also acidify the urogenital tract. They can inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria by lowering the pH value, and contain them by competing with harmful bacteria for space and resources. The growth and reproduction of harmful bacteria promote the health of the body.

4. Metabolites produce biological antagonism and enhance human immunity.

Probiotics can produce organic acids, free fatty acids, hydrogen peroxide bacteriocins, and inhibit the growth of other harmful bacteria. In addition, probiotics can also be customized to form biological barriers on the intestinal mucosa, skin and other surfaces or between cells. These barriers can hinder the colonization of pathogenic microorganisms to enhance human immunity.

5. Relieve allergic effects.

People with allergies will produce immunoglobulins when allergens or organisms stimulate the immune system, causing them to release a substance called histamine, thereby triggering allergic symptoms.

Probiotic therapy is currently one of the effective methods of adjuvant treatment of allergies popular in China. It can use probiotics to regulate the immune globulin antibodies in the body and achieve an immune method to relieve allergies.

6. The effect on hypertension.

Certain substances produced by lactic acid bacteria have the effect of lowering blood pressure, and some probiotics can specifically decompose solubilized proteins and produce peptides that inhibit enzymes and activities that cause blood pressure to rise. Long-term drinking of this active polypeptide yogurt can also prevent and treat high blood pressure.

With age growing, the content of probiotics in the human intestine will decrease. Therefore, probiotics are not patents for children. Middle-aged and elderly friends should also take probiotics appropriately to improve the body’s immunity.
