A Complication of the COVID Era
Submitted and written by Gia Coleman MD and Roshan Givergis DO, edits by Meyers and SmithA woman in her 30s was found crawling in the streets, altered on arrival to the ED. Here is her presenting ECG:How would you interpret this EKG and what is on your differential?At first glance, it appears to be a sinus rhythm with PR prolongation at a rate of about 75 bpm. The QRS may appear narrow but is in fact slightly wide (see figure below). The computer measured it to be 136 ms.Perhaps the most striking finding in this EKG is the almost complete loss/flattening of the T waves. The computer calculated the QTC to be 427. Looking cl...

AusHealthIT Poll Number 535 – Results – 12th July, 2020.
Here are the results of the poll. Does The Lack Of A CEO Appointment For The ADHA For Now Longer Than Six Months Suggest Serious Problems With The Organisation's Culture And Future? Yes 92% (97) No 8% (8) I Have No Idea 1% (1) Total votes: 106 Very clear cut poll that makes it clear that the readers here think the lack of a CEO appointment is a sign of considerable issues with ADHA. The other possibility is that anyone who is suitable for the CEO role knows what a poison chalice it would be being stuck with supporting the #myHealthRecord and the various other failed ADHA initiatives! Any insights on the poll welcome a...

Forever Healthy Foundation Publishes a Risk-Benefit Analysis of Dasatinib and Quercetin as a Senolytic Therapy
The Forever Healthy Foundation publishes a series of conservative risk-benefit analyses of presently available interventions that might prove beneficial in addressing aspects of aging. These range widely in proven effectiveness, quality of animal evidence, and theoretical utility. Some do not in any way attack the known root causes of aging. Some are still pending any sort of rigorous human trial data. Some have plenty of human data that strongly indicates small, unreliable effects at best. It is nonetheless a useful exercise to make clear which are which. In a world in which the "anti-aging" industry propagates all sorts ...

Your Work Attitude
This is one of my favorite quotes from Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet (in the passage on work):
Work is love made visible.And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man’s hunger.And if you grudge the crushing of the grapes, your grudge distils a poison in the wine.And if you sing though as angels, and love not the singing, you muffle man’s ears to the voices of the day and the voices of the night.

Is Someone Holding a Grudge Against You?
Grudges are exasperating. Holding one eats away at our insides, no matter how much we think someone deserves it. You may have heard that holding a grudge is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.
It’s no picnic to be on the receiving end of a grudge either. The person who resents us could be a spouse, family member, coworker, or someone in our social circle. How can we cope when someone’s ill will disturbs our equilibrium, self-esteem, or ability to shine forth our light?
What We Can Learn from Grudge Holders
It’s easy to feel unworthy around a grudge holder. We may think, “W...

What you need to know about COVID-19 if you have diabetes
Preliminary data from China suggest that people with diabetes and other preexisting conditions are more likely to experience serious complications and death from COVID-19 than people without diabetes and other conditions.
But COVID-19 and the coronavirus that causes it are new, and researchers are still investigating how they impact immunity. We also know that if a person has diabetes and gets influenza or another infection, they can experience worse health outcomes. The question is why.
High blood sugars can interfere with white blood cells’ ability to fight infection. So there’s a possibility that people with high bl...

Heal the world
Humanity has behaved like a parasite on planet Earth, sucking out all of the goodness from the forests, the oceans, the land and laying its waste at the feet of Mother Nature. It fills the rivers with poison and the seas with plastic. It has spent almost two centuries creating the kind of cloying atmosphere that leads to boundless desertification, washes islands away, and promotes the release of yet more cloying gases from the frozen extremes. Humanity is the parasite that cages and curates all the others species with which it shares the planet, draining the life from them, and reducing its diversity through anthropocenic ...

More Evidence Links EVALI to Marijuana Prohibition
Jeffrey A. SingerBack in November the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced a “breakthrough” in its investigation into the cause of what is now called EVALI (e‑cigarette vaping associated lung injury): fluid samples from patients revealed the overwhelming majority of cases were due to Vitamin E acetate, used as the solvent in THC ‐containing vaping liquids. I argued that this discovery provided yet another reason to legalize cannabis.Because cannabis is federally banned, most THC vapers use bootleg cartridges obtained on the black market. Shortly after the discovery that inhaling Vitamin...
