Robert Moss was diagnosed with polio at the age of six, the year before he wrote this letter. He would spend the next nine years of his childhood in and out of hospitals.

He made a full recovery and was a decorated athlete in High School and College, as well as an Eagle Scout. After college, he became a junior high science teacher, while also coaching football, basketball and track.

During summer break from teaching in 1965, his childhood struggle with polio inspired him to spend the summer working at the Louisiana Lions Camp for Crippled Children. He went back the next summer and was hired as camp director.

Robert was the Executive Director of the Lions Camp for 41 years. Over his tenure he expanded the camp to include programs for children with pulmonary disorders, muscular dystrophy, diabetes and autism.

He assisted in programs to set up similar camps in Puerto Rico and Australia, as well as a camp for children with terminal illnesses in Texas.

The Lions Camp still operates and is 100% free of charge for all attendees.

Hi! I have a question, why was Mikey taken to the hospital while Leo was taken to a prison? They were captured in the same place, so they should know that they are brothers, right?

Mikey and Leo are both in the same area. The buildings are connected, the tunnel that connects them takes like 15 minutes to drive through.

Mikey is in the hospital because he needs medical attention after breathing in sewer water. They need to monitor him to make sure he doesn't develop pulmonary edema. The reason Mikey ended up inhaling sewer water is that he is the only non-aquatic turtle.

Unless you're asking why they're in separate programs. Program placement is decided by a combination of: how they came into the facility, how they react when they wake up in the facility if captured, whether they sign the contract, perceived threat level, and the psych eval.

Those that don't sign the contract pretty much always get sorted into Hephaestus.

If Leo and Mikey hadn't woken up early, they would have woken up in one of the interview rooms like with Donnie, and this (Residuum) would have gone very differently.

Almost 10% of US lung transplants go to COVID-19 patients. Researchers are learning why - Published Aug 21, 2024

Researchers from Michigan State University and Corewell Health, in collaboration with the Cleveland Clinic, have made a significant breakthrough in understanding post-COVID-19 lung complications.

The study, by Xiaopeng Li of MSU, Reda Girgis of Corewell Health and Kun Li of Cleveland Clinic's Florida Research and Innovation Center, was published in the American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology and highlights the role of a gene called ATP12A in promoting lung damage and excessive mucus production following COVID-19 infection.

COVID-19 infection activates this gene in the lungs, initiating progressive lung scarring that can eventually require a lung transplant. The collaboration investigated the biology behind climbing lung transplant rates among patients with post-COVID pulmonary fibrosis. Almost 10% of all lung transplants in the United States now go to COVID-19 patients, according to data from the United Network for Organ Sharing, or UNOS.

"Understanding how and why some individuals develop severe lifelong complications is critical to developing more effective post-COVID lung damage treatment," said Xiaopeng Li, associate professor in the MSU College of Human Medicine's Department of Pediatrics and Human Development.

Collaborating with Kun Li, Xiaopeng Li investigated ATP12A expression in lung samples from individuals undergoing lung transplantation. Clinical samples provided by Reda Girgis, medical director of Corewell Health's lung transplant program and a professor at MSU, confirmed elevated ATP12A levels in individuals with post-COVID-19 pulmonary fibrosis, akin to fibrosis unrelated to COVID-19.

"At Cleveland Clinic, we confirmed COVID-19 infection directly caused ATP12A levels to increase and contributed to pulmonary fibrosis," noted Kun Li.

This discovery lays the groundwork for potential therapeutic interventions, aiming to benefit all pulmonary fibrosis patients, irrespective of their condition's origin. The next step for the researchers is to unravel how infection elevates ATP12A levels and its contribution to pulmonary fibrosis, paving the way for improved treatments in the future.

Subject: Archon Program Candidates

From: ██████

To: Flora Pearson <fpearson@mail.asc>

Timestamp: 2088.09.24.6138

Dir. Pearson:

It took some time to process the data we've received from the Dept/Statistics request, and your patience in that matter is deeply appreciated. Our diligence has paid off, and we have narrowed to 54 potential candidates across the Republic. I've attached the full portfolio--note that among the 54, 7 in particular stand out. I've flagged these subjects accordingly. While a thorough examination of *all* prospective candidates is paramount for expedience and risk mitigation, the attached dossiers will surely speak for themselves with regards to their fit for the program.

Saklas

Raithe Desmont

b.2057.12.30 / 193cm / 66kg / B+

int-SYN/TRA compatibility: 83.25%

d-SYN/TRA compatibility: 57.29%

Minor irreversible microgravitational osteoporosis from offworld childhood

History of childhood asthma, no noted persistent chronic obstructive pulmonary disorders in adulthood

Existing psychiatric profile suggests an intense need for approval, acknowledgement

Medical records became publicly available when he was processed following the dismantling of Synesia

Church records confirm status as hylikos

Currently works an administrative role within the Automation Division of the Dept/Research

Evaluation:

Desmont's department shows fantastic efficiency and produces incredible results at the expense of high turnover rates. Exit interviews indicate that his aggressive and controlling management style is to blame, however the growth in his department was undeniable to his superiors. Were he not a hylikos, he would surely be head of the division by now.

Desmont's ego is thoroughly immodest, and his focus solely on the Material. He refuses to accept that he cannot rise above his position without aid from the Church.

His methodical yet aggressive nature and relatively high d-SYN/TRA compatibility score suggest that he would be an ideal candidate for the archon of kings.

Iao

Zoe Katab

b.2070.07.19 / 170cm / 70kg / A-

int-SYN/TRA compatibility: 95.66%

His exceptional SYN/TRA compatibilities and temperament suggest a strong compatibility for the tyrant archon.

Elaios

Adrien Hein

b.2059.03.03 / 187cm / 40kg / O+

int-SYN/TRA compatibility: 74.29%

d-SYN/TRA compatibility: 52.63%

Bilateral below-knee amputation secondary to explosion during an attempted live-munitions terrorist attack

Existing psychiatric profile indicates severe anxiety bordering on paranoia

Medical records became public record upon arrest

Immediate family:

- deceased husband, son

- mother, father live apart

Census records indicate no other family or partner

Criminal records indicate that he has been convicted for terrorism, conspiracy, possession of illegal explosives, destruction of property

Church records confirm status as hylikos

Currently imprisoned

Evaluation:

Hein lost his husband and son in a riot started by immigrants protesting the stride of Stauros. He was radicalized by the experience and subsequently became involved with a group of nationalists. During an attempt to bomb a train station the explosives were improperly timed, resulting in the loss of both of Hein's legs.

His willingness to shed blood, loyalty to Stauros, and obsessive mental state make him an ideal candidate for the archon of jealousy.

Oraios

Surya Marit

b.2068.09.25 / 175cm / 68kg / B+

int-SYN/TRA compatibility: 88.04%

d-SYN/TRA compatibility: 73.43%

Medical records became publicly available upon joining the ExoCorps

Immediate family:

- estranged brother, mother

- deceased mother

Census records indicate no other family or partner

Criminal records return no charges

Church records confirm status as hylikos

Currently unemployed

Evaluation:

Marit is an unusual individual. She was initially chosen to be a Cataphract though her surgery regimen was cut short by a traumatic head injury during a routine training exercise. This purportedly spawned a change in her behavior, at which point she was ejected from the ExoCorps.

Marit's fantastic SYN/TRA compatibility, her experience as a pilot, and her alienation from others make her a strong candidate for the archon of wealth.

Astaphaios

Elena Casaubon

b.2069.09.09 / 158cm / 53kg / O-

int-SYN/TRA compatibility: 63.14%

d-SYN/TRA compatibility: 47.69%

Irreversible microgravitational osteoporosis from offworld childhood

Existing psychiatric profile indicates obsessive tendencies and a thirst for the forbidden

Medical records not publicly available

Immediate family:

- absentee mother

- deceased father

Census records indicate no other family or partner

Criminal records return no charges

Church records confirm status as hylikos

Currently employed by the Dept/Research as a part of the Archon program

Evaluation:

Casaubon's participation was, of course, previously confirmed due to her connection to the Rite.

Casaubon's SYN/TRA compatibilities barely meet program minimums, and though her psychiatric profile does not indicate any particular affinity, the archon of wisdom will likely be the most fitting for her potential as a pilot.

What Is Long COVID? Understanding the Pandemic’s Mysterious Fallout > News > Yale Medicine

Originally published: April 15, 2024. Updated: June 4, 2024

Just weeks after the first cases of COVID-19 hit U.S. shores, an op-ed appeared in The New York Times titled “We Need to Talk About What Coronavirus Recoveries Look Like: They're a lot more complicated than most people realize.”

...

Unlike most diseases, Long COVID was first described not by doctors, but by the patients themselves. Even the term “Long COVID” was coined by a patient. Dr. Elisa Perego, an honorary research fellow at University College in London, came up with the hashtag #LongCOVID when tweeting about her own experience with the post-COVID syndrome. The term went viral and suddenly social media, and then the media itself, was full of these stories.

Complaints like "I can't seem to concentrate anymore" or "I'm constantly fatigued throughout the day" became increasingly common, seemingly appearing out of nowhere. With nothing abnormal turning up from their many thorough lab tests, patients and their physicians were left feeling helpless and frustrated.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined Long COVID as the "continuation or development of new symptoms three months after the initial SARS-CoV-2 infection, with these symptoms lasting for at least two months with no other explanation." This deliberately broad definition reflects the complex nature of this syndrome. We now understand that these symptoms are wide-ranging, including heart palpitations, cough, nausea, fatigue, cognitive impairment (commonly referred to as "brain fog"), and more. Also, many who experience Long COVID following an acute infection face an elevated risk of such medical complications as blood clots and (type 2) diabetes.

In April 2024, an estimated 5.3% of all adults in the United States reported having Long COVID, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Data from the CDC suggest that Long COVID disproportionately affects women, and individuals between the ages of 40 and 59 have the highest reported rates of developing this post-acute infection syndrome.

...

Inderjit Singh, MBChB, a YSM assistant professor specializing in pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine, and director of the Pulmonary Vascular Program, is actively engaged in clinical trials aimed at uncovering the fundamental underpinnings of Long COVID.

...

Through this work, a significant revelation emerged. They observed that patients grappling with Long COVID and facing exercise difficulties were unable to efficiently extract oxygen from their bloodstream during physical exertion. This discovery identifies a specific cause underlying the biological underpinnings of Long COVID.

... Dr. Singh, along with other researchers, is focused on the identification of blood-based markers to assess the severity of Long COVID. For example, a research group, led by Akiko Iwasaki, PhD, Sterling Professor of Immunobiology and Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, and director of the Center for Infection & Immunity at YSM, most recently created a new method to classify Long COVID severity with circulating immune markers.

Further investigations conducted by Dr. Singh's team identified distinctive protein signatures in the blood of Long COVID patients, which correlated with the degree of Long COVID severity. Researchers identified two major and distinct blood profiles among the patients. Some of them exhibited blood profiles indicating that excessive inflammation played a prominent role in their condition, while others displayed profiles indicative of impaired metabolism.

...

Researchers currently believe that the impairment of a spectrum of key bodily functions may contribute to these diverse symptoms. These potential mechanisms include compromised immune system function, damage to blood vessels, and direct harm to the brain and nervous system. Importantly, it's likely that most patients experience symptoms arising from multiple underlying causes, which complicates both the diagnosis and treatment of Long COVID.

...

The last word from Lisa Sanders, MD:

I’m the internist who sees patients at Yale New Haven Health’s Multidisciplinary Long COVID Care Center. In our clinic, patients are examined by a variety of specialists to determine the best next steps for these complex patients. Sometimes that entails more testing. Often patients have had extensive testing even before they arrive, and far too often—when all the tests are normal—both doctors and patients worry that their symptoms are “all in their head.”

One of our first tasks is to reassure patients that many parts of Long COVID don’t show up on tests. We don’t know enough about the cause of many of these symptoms to create a test for them. The problem is not with the patient with the symptoms, but of the science surrounding them. If any good can be said to come out of this pandemic, it will be a better understanding of Long COVID and many of the other post-acute infection syndromes that have existed as long as the infections themselves.

Barbara Stanwyck - The Queen of Film Noir

Barbara Stanwyck (born Ruby Catherine Stevens in Brooklyn, New York on July 16, 1907) was an American actress who was one of the most celebrated femme fatales in cinema. She fleshed out iconic and radiant characters in numerous film noirs, making her "The Queen of Film Noir."

Of English and Scottish descent, Stanwyck made her debut on stage in the chorus as a Ziegfeld girl at 16, and within a few years was acting in plays. Her first lead role, which was in the hit Burlesque (1927), established her as a Broadway star. That same year, she debuted in films.

After moving to Hollywood in 1928, Stanwyck starred in a number of sound films. Unlike most of her peers, she never signed a long-term contract with one studio. In the early 1930s, she signed a short-term non-exclusive contract with Columbia and at the same time also had a similar contract with Warner Bros. When her contracts with both studios ended, she did not renew and became a free agent instead.

Stanwyck then signed with Paramount in the 1940s, again a non-exclusive contract. By this time, she had become the highest paid woman in the country. It was at Paramount where she made her some of her most memorable films, including The Lady Eve (1941) and Double Indemnity (1944). As her film career declined during the 1950s, she successfully moved to television and even hosted an anthology drama series titled The Barbara Stanwyck Show in 1961. She retired from acting in 1986 and busied herself with charity work.

At the age of 82, she passed away from congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease while in hospital in Santa Monica, California

The lifeforce of nature..

The spinal cord is connected to everything in the human body from the nervous system to the cardiovascular system and pulmonary system, all of our organs, down to the smallest of cells.

Spinal energy is connected to the body through 7 gateways along the spinal cord.

When we emerge from our mother's womb, our body contains a beautiful wave-like motion that travels all the way from the occiput down through the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine into the pelvis and back again. In an ideal world, this wave would be free to flow throughout our lives.. you can even feel it, but most are unaware.. that’s because about 90% of us have blockages preventing our natural healing force…

When we are born, first we are the brain and spinal cord. We are born with no blockages and our spinal flow is free and natural. Over time stress can cause physical, mental, and emotional blocks in the spine, which sends signals to the rest of the body.

Most western Dr.s today treat illnesses by addressing the symptoms or in other words examining the rotten apples but forgetting it’s the tree, root 🌳 that needs to be cared for and given the nutrients it needs - that’s what assures optimal health of all it’s fruit. 🍎

I’ve been studying energy flow for some time now.. and I just received a scholarship for the Spinal Flow Program! 🙏🏼 Which will teach me how to diagnose physical, mental, and chemical blockages and how to clear the spine for optimal source flow.

I will be sharing what I can along the way ✨

What types of specialized rehabilitation services do the Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in New York offer?

The foundation of the best nursing homes and rehabilitation facilities in New York is a dedication to a multidisciplinary, holistic approach to treatment. Teams of highly skilled medical experts, including doctors, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and social workers, work in these institutions to create individualized treatment regimens that are specific to the needs of each resident.

Facilities such as the Upper East Side Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in New York provide stroke rehabilitation programs that can be beneficial to residents who have suffered a stroke. These programs include speech, occupational, and physical therapy to assist patients with regaining their mobility, enhancing their communication abilities, and relearning daily life skills.

Personalized exercise regimens are designed by physical therapists (PTs) to enhance balance, strength, mobility, and coordination. For people healing from fractures, joint replacements, or strokes, this may be essential. Consider a patient at an RNC undergoing physical therapy following knee replacement surgery. In order to assist the patient walk independently once more, the PT would create a program that progressively increases weight-bearing activities and strengthens surrounding muscles.

The goal of occupational therapists (OTs) is to assist patients in regaining the ability to perform activities of daily living. This covers things like getting dressed, taking a shower, preparing meals, and taking medications. OTs can also assist people in modifying their living spaces to take into account their restrictions. Consider an RNC patient whose fine motor abilities are affected by a stroke.

At Highland care center, specialized nurses offer professional care for long-term wounds such as pressure sores or diabetic foot ulcers. Debridement (the removal of dead tissue) and specialist dressings may be necessary for this. In order to ensure that patients heal more quickly and with fewer complications, wound care management is essential for preventing infection and promoting recovery.

i usually don't talk about personal stuff, but, since i'm still waiting for the public university that i get my free therapy from to clarify whether the program continues or not, this is a rare venting post ig...

well, earlier today i attended the funeral of one of my paternal aunts.

she died yesterday, and we got the news late at night.

as it's common for many working class Brazilian families, there are, like, 4 houses in the same terrain that belonged to my late grandpa, so, we all sort of lived together, and it was a huge shock for all of us.

other relatives, who live in the same town as us, also appeared to show support.

i overheard a cousin of mine (who is younger than me and recently lost her own mom to breast cancer, which just shows how strong she is to come back to the place she grew up to support the remaining aunts, one of which is her grandma) saying this aunt died of pulmonary embolism, after she was diagnosed with pneumonia last week.

my dad also said something earlier this week about lung damage, if i remember correctly.

me and my big sis, we suspect that this aunt either got covid or was suffering from the consequences of long covid, since she was looking weaker and more fragile in the past 2,3 years or so.

but, since the health unit she was admitted has a pretty basic infrastructure, as it's common for small towns here, we might never know for sure, bc we don't even know if it occurred to the doctors to get her tested...

i wasn't particularly atached to her, but it's still very painful, bc, with the terrain thing i said above, i still grew up with her and she was a psrt of my childhood...

but, most of all, it's particularly painful bc of the son she left.

he has down syndrome, but, as it's also common for the lives of working class ppl here in Brazil and i assume South America in general, he never had access to the type of multidisciplinary healthcare support that he needed and is a person with high support needs, which means he depended on his mother for almost everything.

in the days she was still at the health unit -- which can't be called a hospital, bc it's this type of unit we call here "unidade de pronto atendimento" and serves to provide medium complexity healthcare -- he frequently asked to my other aunts and relatives when his mom would come back.

he is not completely abandoned, since my other aunts, who helped said aunt to take care of him, are still alive and will take care of him, which is a relief ofc...

but they are also elderly women, and way older than his late mother.

and, most of all, it's been devastating way beyond words to hear the poor guy crying and having panick attacks as these aunts and my other relatives tried explaining to explain to him that his mom won't come back to go to church with him ever...

bc, really, there are no words to describe how terrible it all is...

it's also a pretty average working class Brazilian experience, as you guys can see by the stuff i mentioned above...

and, i don't even know what's the takeaway from this story i'm telling...

i guess it's just to give an insight of what life here in this country can be, you know, besides all the venting and stuff...

(and, YES, i know that other countries on the Global South still got it worse.

in fact, even here in Latin America.

it's just that it's still fucking terrible that we have to endure this type of stuff every day bc of economic inequality and other social issues)

maybe it's just a reminder that life and death are way bigger than all of us idk...

just a reminder of one of those "remember you are mortal" moments that life throws at us sometimes...

yeah, sounds about right.

Abstract Monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages drive lung injury and fibrosis in murine models and are associated with pulmonary fibrosis in humans. Monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages have been suggested to develop a phenotype that promotes lung repair as injury resolves. We compared single-cell and cytokine profiling of the alveolar space in a cohort of 35 patients with post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 who had persistent respiratory symptoms and abnormalities on a computed tomography scan of the chest that subsequently improved or progressed. The abundance of monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages, their gene expression programs, and the level of the monocyte chemokine CCL2 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid positively associated with the severity of radiographic fibrosis. Monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages from patients with resolving or progressive fibrosis expressed the same set of profibrotic genes. Our findings argue against a distinct reparative phenotype in monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages, highlighting their utility as a biomarker of failed lung repair and a potential target for therapy.

“Sierra Roe,” 22 (1971–1973)

The Carolina Population Center’s International Fertility Research Program submitted a study to the Contraception journal in 1974. Over the course of two and a half years, 780 pregnant women and their babies at nine locations were used to test the dangers of different abortion methods. One of them was “Sierra,” who lost her own life in the process.

Sierra was referred to as “the subject” in the publication. She was a healthy 22-year-old white woman who had given birth to two children. At 17 weeks pregnant, she was put through a saline instillation abortion at a hospital.

Sixteen and a half hours after having hypertonic saline injected into her uterus, Sierra delivered her dead baby. The placenta was delivered five minutes later. The abortion was recorded as “uneventful,” but the next day she had to undergo surgery to remove “products of conception” that were left inside of her. After that, she was discharged from the hospital. She didn’t know that her life was still in danger.

Six days after being discharged, Sierra was admitted to a different hospital. This hospital diagnosed an incomplete abortion and put her on antibiotics. Another D&C surgery was also planned to try to remove what the abortionist had left behind.

Anesthesia was administered, but before doctors could operate again, Sierra went into cardiac arrest. The hospital tried in vain to save her life, but she was pronounced dead eight hours later, leaving her two surviving children without a mother. She only lived for eleven days after her “uneventful” abortion.

It was discovered that in addition to the incomplete abortion, Sierra also suffered a pulmonary embolism. This was listed as her cause of death.

A later publication using data from the CDC showed that their findings on abortion mortality did not include any 22-year-olds who died of a pulmonary embolism after a 17-week saline abortion in 1972 or 1973. (The CDC did not publish data on abortion deaths in 1971.) If Sierra was killed in America, the CDC may have missed her death in their attempts to compile statistics.

However, nine hospitals or abortion facilities participated in the study. Three were American, four were British, one was in India and the last one was in Singapore. The hospital that killed Sierra and her baby was one of the following: North Carolina Memorial Hospital (Chapel Hill, NC), Wake Memorial Hospital (Raleigh, NC), Western Pennsylvania Hospital (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania), University of London Hospital (London, England), Nowrosjee Wadia Hospital (Bombay(now Mumbai), India) and Kandang Kerbau Hospital (Singapore).

Vance have any thoughts on / experiences related to cyberpsychosis?

im not sure if this ask is directed at vance or is about vance, but either way i have talked about his cyberpsychosis at length before

(here as well)

(this one too, though it doesnt explicitly mention cyberpsychosis)

arasaka's primary experiment with him was figuring out how much is Too much. how far can they go without going over the edge. with every implant they chipped him with, they kept him on a short leash for a few days after the surgery for observation.

they wanted to see if his body would agree with or reject whatever it is that they gave him--not that he'd necessarily die if his body didnt take to it, only that it'd have been a waste of time and a perfectly good, custom made implant.

how much of a machine could they make this mostly organic body before it became something else entirely?

sometimes his body would accept it only for the implant to rot inside him days later. vance would be at least organic enough to exhibit biological symptoms; sickness, of course, fevers, cold sweats, nausea. bedridden for a week.

they'd study that too.

they didnt do this to him just to torture him--in fact, that was the least of the corp's motives. i cannot stress this enough, but arasaka did not want to hurt vance. not on purpose, at least. what good is a dog who flinches when a hand is raised against it? you want something that bites. you want something that bites when you tell it to, because it's good like that.

anyway.

once the implant passes the bio check, it has to pass a mental check. keep in mind vance is running maybe 7 or 8 implants at a time, not including his cyberdeck. that is a lot of strain on a human mind.

most of the time he can keep the biological ones running quietly in the background (pulmonary, cardiovascular, etc) but these all run on pre-established subroutines. if a new implant is introduced and vance is thrust out onto the field right away, those subroutines are gonna trip all over themselves trying to accommodate this new Foreign Object.

maybe they'd even think it an obstacle and bypass it entirely. so vances systems would have to overcompensate; dedicate a portion of his programming to the Act of ignoring the foreign implant; or even start writing an entirely new routine to accommodate it.

this wouldn't usually be in an issue...as long as he isnt in combat.

because that's when shit gets overwhelming.

that's when he has to focus on not only not getting shot, but writing these new programs; dumping useless data caches; hacking into some two or three people's layers of ICE, which are all disproportionate from each other and varied in both quality and depth.

it really isnt just implants that trigger cyberpsychosis though; it's stress. its trauma. and i think vance has had every chance to go cyberpsycho and every possible trigger to do so.
