Point of Care Diagnostics: Revolutionizing Healthcare with Real-Time Testing

The Advent of Quick and Accurate Medical Testing Point of Care Diagnostics have emerged as a groundbreaking development in the medical field by enabling accurate testing to be done quickly and conveniently. Traditional diagnostic methods usually require samples to be sent to a centralized laboratory for analysis, which can delay vital treatment decisions by several days. However, point-of-care tests provide results within minutes using portable devices, bringing testing closer to the patient. This revolutionary approach is transforming healthcare delivery. Rapid Testing for Better Patient Outcomes By facilitating timely diagnosis, point-of-care testing leads to better patient outcomes. Speedy detection of conditions like infections or chronic diseases allows doctors to prescribe appropriate treatment without delay. For example, point-of-care tests are commonly used in emergency rooms to quickly identify heart attacks, strokes or life-threatening infections. Getting fast diagnostic results is crucial for such medical emergencies as it ensures patients receive the right therapy as soon as possible. The timely administration of antibiotics, anti-clotting medications or other critical treatments improves survival rates and recovery. Patient Comfort and Convenience Besides clinical benefits, Point of Care Diagnostics enhance patient comfort and convenience. People no longer have to wait anxiously for days to learn about their health while potentially worsening conditions go untreated. With devices that analyze samples on-site, patients get actionable results during the same clinical visit when treatment decisions are made. This spares them follow-up trips to the doctor or lab and unnecessary stress. Home testing using self-administered point-of-care kits even allows monitoring health remotely while maintaining independence. Finger-prick blood samples or urine specimens are all that's needed, eliminating difficulties obtaining specimens. More Efficient Use of Resources Speedy diagnostic testing optimizes use of limited healthcare resources. Quick turnaround times avoid unnecessary reliance on expensive treatments initiated just to address uncertainty in diagnoses. Point-of-care devices reduce laboratory workloads too by decentralizing testing. Moreover, decentralized testing is vital for resource-constrained settings like rural areas, refugee camps or developing countries where access to centralized labs is limited. Portable devices overcome infrastructure barriers and enable basic medical services even in remote areas. This promotes healthcare equity globally. A Proliferation of Diagnostic Platforms Rapid technological progress has enabled the development of varied point-of-care testing systems. Examples include paper microfluidic devices, electrochemical sensors, molecular diagnostics platforms and portable ultrasound machines integrated with imaging analysis software. Immunology-based tests detecting proteins or antibodies through lateral flow or microarray methods are commonly used for conditions like infections and cardiac markers. Molecular diagnostic platforms employ techniques like polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for swift nucleic acid amplification and analysis of viruses or genetic markers. Newer technologies like CRISPR gene editing also hold promise as a basis for point-of-care genetic testing. With ongoing research, the types of conditions examinable at the point of care continue expanding in scope and complexity. Get more insights on Point Of Care Diagnostics

"Stillborn? No, no, still born." -- DPXDC AU

Based off a comment I saw where Bruce knew about Talia's pregnancy in the earlier comivs, and was ecstatic to be a father. So much so that Talia feared he'd give up being Batman for it, so when she gave birth she put the baby (Damian) on a doorstep and (seemingly) told Bruce that the baby was stillborn.

Instead of Damian, that baby was Danny! Meet Daniel Brown, the 14 year old foster kid whose been living with the Fenton family for the last two years. He's about two years older than Damian.

His last name, "Brown", was a generic surname given to him because the note he came with didn't have one on it. It just had the name "Danyal" on it, but albeit 'Daniel' was the one that had been put into the system for, I'll be totally frank here, racism reasons.

(I looked it up to make sure, and it's generally not permissible for foster parents to change the names of their foster kids even if it's a permanent residency, and for that reason Danny doesn't have the last name "Fenton".)

Danny's got ✨~issues!~✨ He's been through a handful of homes growing up, most of them terrible for a variety of reasons. Which has, as a result, left lasting scars. He's generally a very sweet kid, just very distrustful and jumpy. He's got the signs of a kid suffering from PTSD, and a handful of other issues including attachment and insomnia. His inferiority complex could rival Damian's, and that's going to make for an interesting mutual hatred for when they finally meet.

(something I'll get into later)

He still has the blanket he was found in. It's made of a very high quality material and is a beautiful emerald green with little golden thread accents, it's high quality as a result has Danny clinging onto a desperate hope that his bio family might be out there, and the only reason they gave him up was because of some outside factor. It's been taken a few times in old foster homes, and he's flipped out each time.

While he still calls Jack and Maddie by their names, he likes them well enough. The bar isn't that high though, and while they're some of the better foster parents he's had, "better" doesn't equal "safest". Their laboratory malpractice. Basically, C- Fenton Parents. They're negligent by virtue of being engrossed in their work, but they do care equally about Jazz and Danny. So he doesn't hold it against them that much.

He kinda prefers it that way, their loud affection is overwhelming and Danny doesn't know what to do with their attention, even if he craves it. It's a bit of a complicated situation.

They took in Danny because they genuinely wanted another child, but didn't want a big age gap between them and Jazz. It was actually Jack's idea to foster, and they discussed it with Jazz beforehand. She was all for the idea. Thus, a handful of weeks later, a ton of paperwork, and inspection later, and Daniel Brown entered their household with a trash bag in one hand and eyes like shards of stained glass.

His relationship with Jazz is kinda strained, but that's by virtue of her constant psychoanalyzing and helicoptering. Like with the parents, Danny's overwhelmed by the attention and also just, straight up doesn't like the fact that she's telling him that there's something wrong with him. He knows that, thank you. He pushes her away when she does this.

Other than that though? When Jazz isn't smothering him and is acting like an actual sibling and not a third parent, they're pretty close, and Danny really likes her. They've hung out a few times on their own volition, and Jazz showed him how to take better care of his long hair.

His school situation,, pretty similar to canon with the bullying, albeit with a few more instances of him blowing a fuse and lashing out against his attackers. He's a rather angry kid, but it's quiet. It builds up, piles on top of itself, until eventually, like a volcano, it erupts and burns everyone within radius.

Danny's got a fire core, not an ice core. Phantom's hair is made of white magma; thick and heavy, setting itself on fire when his anger runs hot. When he gets angry, his skin begins to char and split open to reveal pulsating lava underneath, and he crackles and pops like a raging forest fire.

I haven't decided yet on how he meets the batfam -- i've got two ideas but they're both in opposition to each other, and drastically alter how the rest of the plot goes. But I do know that him and Damian hate each other in the beginning. And it has nothing to do with inheritance or "being the blood son" -- although their blood relation absolutely plays the major role in their disdain for each other.

Simply put, they're jealous of each other for the same thing: thinking that the other was wanted.

Damian hates Danny because, unlike Damian, Bruce knew about Danny since conception and wanted him from the moment he heard about him. He had a whole nursery set up, and still does. He never took it down -- just locked the door. Damian was thrust upon Bruce without warning, and he feels like he forced himself into the family. And while on some level Damian knows and understands that Bruce wants him and loves him as much as his other children, that doubt and feeling of inferiority still remains. He looks at Danny and sees him with what Damian always feels he needs reaffirmed.

Meanwhile, Danny hates Damian because he looks at him and sees him with everything Danny's ever wanted. He hates him because Damian grew up knowing both of their parents, with one of them for most of his life, and then moved over to the other. There was never a moment where Damian was (seemingly) left to doubt his place within the family. Damian was raised with the very same woman who left Danny on a doorstep, with no clue to his identity beyond a little green blanket and a note with only a first name. Damian was wanted everywhere, and Danny was wanted nowhere. Damian is Danny's replacement in his eyes.

(It's the little revelation that Damian grew up with their mother that elevates Danny from being quietly envious of Damian to downright despising him. What did Damian do, that Danny didn't? He could live with Damian living with Bruce -- Bruce didn't know Danny was even alive. But him living with their mom? Are you fucking kidding him?)

Damian never outright attacks Danny physically, but it's not like he hides that he didn't like Danny. Meanwhile, Danny, in all his repressive anger, quietly despised him from a distance until finally one wrong snide side-comment has him blowing up and it becomes a screaming match. They're both just enough similar to each other that when they look at each other they really just see a mirror.

They'll work it out together, eventually. But it'll be ugly and cruel and explosive, and they'll start mending the bridge to become brothers in more than just blood relation in the end.

But yeah, stillborn Danny has... a lot going for him.

I love how inclusivity is handled in The Dragon Prince, here's why.

In most shows, as much as it bothers me to admit so, some people are right, inclusivity does feel forced sometimes. But it's not the characters' fault, it's not because of them being part of the lgbtq+ community, or being disabled, or being POC, or being strong women who do not conform to patriarchal standards.

It's not that.

It's that the show they are part of is a straight, white, abled parade - and notice, most of said shows won't even pass the Bechdel test.

So yes, in a show written by and aimed to straight, white, abled people, even I, a gay, non-binary, chronically ill person feel weird seeing charcters that are there just for the sake of inclusivity, albeit 'inorganic'.

In a show with the premise of "straight, white, abled men are the indiscussed MCs", seeing that one side-character that stands out and is often ridiculed and/or reduced to a single trait of their 'personality', such as 'the gay one', 'the asian one', 'the disabled one' (etc) is upsetting and feels uncomfortable as hell.

But TDP is different.

They immediately introduced powerful women, people of color, characters that are openly part of the lgbtq+ community, disabled characters etc. And not one of them per 'category', no. For the lgbtq+ community we have Amaya, Janai, Runaan, Ethari, Terry, Kazi. For the disabled community, we have Amaya again, Villads, and even a disabled wolf Ava. For the POC community, we have literally half of the cast, starting from King Harrow, then Ezran, every sunfire elf, Terry as well, etc. Same goes for women, who take up on roles that are rarely considered 'for women', like Opeli being the main member of the High Council, Amaya being the General, Rayla being the main Dragon Guard, Claudia being one of the main antagonists, etc.

Both main and side-characters are part of the communities, everything is so much more organic, enjoyable, thrilling.

We do not come in 'minor quantity'.

We are everywhere, among others, living our lives, doing our best, existing, thriving, proud. It's not just one or two of us among thousands. Surprise, 'categories' can mix! Just like I, a real human being, can be gay, enby as well as chronically ill, we can have characters like that as well! Amaya being lesbian and disabled, Terry being black and trans, Janai being black and lesbian, etc. And, another surprise, 'categories' don't define us. We don't 'shove it' in anyone's face like they say we do, we're just being us and cishets are upset because we don't conform to their sick standards.

Inclusivity is organic in TDP because nobody in that universe questions anyone else's color, gender, orientation, etc. And it's organic because we didn't have to wait half a season to see a black character, or a disabled character, or a gay character.

The key to inclusivity is to realise that we aren't just 'bonuses'. Fill shows and comics with lgbtq+, POC, disabled, and female characters. Not just one every 15, 20 characters. Everywhere.

We are everywhere! We are proud! We deserve to be seen! We deserve to be depicted as the normal people we are, without diminishing our traits but without making them our whole personality either. Treat us like human beings, be considerate like you should be with everyone on the planet of course, but treat us like humans.

Antagonising people who are 'different' (in the mind of straight, white, abled people) will not suppress us. We will keep insisting until you hear us. It's literally one of the main messages, one of the main teachings of TDP and it's so damn important.

Every single person on Earth should watch it. Every single kid should be introduced to TDP at an early age. Every old bigot should watch it, as well. Everybody. Even if it's considered a y7 (y10 for s4 and s5 apparently) show, everyone, no matter their age, should give it a try and watch it thoroughly.

Lots of love to the creators and everyone, literelly everyone involved in the production of one the best, most entertaining, most exciting, most formative shows ever. Please, keep it up! And thank you so much!

Can I do a serious post for a minute.

If you're having chronic fatigue, changes in blood pressure, memory problems, low grade fevers, frequent headaches, brain fog, dysautonomia and faint-like experiences when you stand up too fast, you need to get checked for anemia.

If you have unexplained chronic pain, including muscle, joint and bone pain, muscle weakness, dry skin, chronic fatigue, high blood pressure and fevers, you need to get checked for vitamin D deficiency.

These are both incredibly common (some statics say 30% and 42% respectively, but if that's too low or high is anyone's guess) and widely overlooked conditions that can and frequently do cause debilitating symptoms if left untreated. Just because they're widely known about and made fun of in various media doesn't mean you're immune to them. Both of these conditions can result in fatal complications without proper treatment.

I've seen people immediately jump to much harsher and scarier self-diagnoses after experiencing these symptoms and while that is entirely possible and I'm not here to tell you what you don't have, many chronic conditions are diagnosed by exclusion, and sometimes it really is just "that silly deficiency everyone thinks they know about". And chances are even if you do have other issues, anemia and/or vitamin D deficiency exacerbate your symptoms, and it's an important enough symptom for further diagnosis of autoimmune disorders.

Don't just start randomly taking supplements. You didn't know what dosage or form of those you need. Talk to a doctor. In my experience, getting a referral to a hematologist is much easier than to a rheumatologist or neurologist. It's a good place to start figuring out what's going on. Start there.

Since I’m stuck with a cold right now and everything sucks, I’ve been thinking about a sick Johnny. He’s definitely convinced he’s standing with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. His gf wishes he took his bed rest as seriously when he actually was severely injured.

Are you me, anon, 'cause I'm right there with you. Wishing you a speedy recovery! ❤️

Sick Johnny is a baby. Injured on duty? Not a problem. Just another Tuesday.

The cold? The flu? omfg he's dying, bonnie, and the fact that you're not by his side 25/8 makes it worse (even though you're nursing him while also trying not to get sick yourself).

How could you do this to him? Where did you two go wrong? What happened to cause this—"Johnny, you're sick."

Oh.

Can he at least watch the game so he can trash-talk the boys and their shitty choice of teams?

if anyone "umm actually"s the concerns about prismatic-bell's racism, then you severely misunderstand how racism is made systematic because if you come out at 100 saying how anyone who is not white should die you are going to get less people hopping on board with your racism than if you posed yourself as an intellectual whos "just asking questions"
