Fei Z et al (2020) Clinical course and risk factors for mortality of adult inpatients with COVID-19 in Wuhan, China: a retrospective cohort study. Lancet (London, England) 395(10229):1054–62 [cited 14 Jun 2020]. Available from https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32171076/?from_single_result=Lancet+Lond... Israel launched one of its deadliest operations in years in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, sending soldiers on an unusually fierce raid to kill militants stationed in the Jenin refugee camp. Ten Palestinians, mostly gunmen, but also two civilians, including a 61-year-old woman, were killed. Nineteen patients were included with median SOFA-score of 4 (2-6), DIC-score of 1 (0-3) and SIC-score of 1.8 (0.9). Median fibrinogen, D-dimer levels and platelet count were 6.2 (4.8-7.6 g/L), 1000 (600-4200 ng/ml) and 236 (136-364 10 9/L), respectively. Clot firmness was above the normal range in the EXTEM and FIBTEM tests while clot lysis was decreased. There was no significant correlation between ROTEM or D-dimer parameters and the SOFA score. But after birth, genes aren’t the only factors in human development. Between the ages of one and eight, children produce twice the number of neuronal connections required for healthy brain functionality. Because of this, efficient pathways for cognitive processes must be established, and for their brains to do this, children need nurture.

When a complex client arrives at your door (like my husband’s cancer diagnosis or the myriad digestive, autoimmune and hormonal issues we see in our clinic), having the insight to pause, to ponder what’s going on in there, and to ask a few critical questions, is key to making sense of it all. There’s another important element of being an investigator who can uncover what’s going on in there:
Those companies I talked to offer such low salaries I don't even consider working in the UK anymore. Company with budget for 3 YOE outside London, 51k euro (converted already), company in London for 7 YOE, 68k euro. This week we are looking at two words which may be confused by learners of English: scarce and scarcely. Improve your English with Collins. I’m sure a lot of people would agree that we live in strange times. But do they have to be so strange that Area 51 is making headlines? And what’s this about fish the look like aliens. September’s Words in the News explain all. Today, there’s no shortage of guidebooks filled with advice on what to do during pregnancy. Of course, all children and mothers are different, but these discussions are important. After all, pregnancy and birth are crucial stages in human development.
How is it that we learned our mother tongue so easily as kids, while learning new languages today is so hard? Well, babies have the upper hand here – they’re predisposed to learning languages. Stimulating an infant’s sense of touch is a necessary part of healthy development. Several studies show that preterm infants even benefit from daily massages, showing faster weight gain and better performance in visual recognition tests. Without this stimulation, the corresponding parts of a child’s brain will degenerate.
Children in the first group had been raised by their mothers in prison, while those in the second group had been taken from their mothers and raised in a nearby nursery. Children who’d grown up in the prison developed normally, thanks to their mothers’ care. Adult patients diagnosed with COVID-19 admitted to the ICU were prospectively enrolled after Ethics Committee approval (HCB/2020/0371). All patients received venous thromboembolism prophylaxis; those on therapeutic anticoagulation were excluded. The standard laboratory coagulation test and ROTEM were performed simultaneously at 24-48 h after ICU admission. Sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA), disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and sepsis-induced coagulopathy (SIC) scores were calculated at sample collection. Have you ever had a cold and not been able to taste what you knew was a delicious meal? It can be extremely frustrating! Taste and smell are vital sensory functions for humans in general, and this begins in babies from their time in the womb. Modern research into child psychology and neuroscience can help us in this endeavor. As you'll see in these blinks, children's minds and their perception of the world are formed through an intricate interplay between nature and nurture, beginning even in the womb. So what does the world look like through the eyes of a toddler?

PMID: 33336766There is another culture gap, less easy to bridge, between those for whom illness is a rare and indisputable fact – they have, for example, broken a leg – and those for whom the signs of ill-health are just the beginning of a series of complex negotiations with the body and the outside world. For some of us, the question ‘Am I ill or well?’ is not at all straightforward, but contentious and guilt-ridden. I feel ill, but have I any right to the feeling? I feel ill, but has my feeling any organic basis? I feel ill, but who am I to say so? Someone else must decide (my doctor, my mother) whether the illness is real by other people’s standards, or only by mine. Is it a respectable illness? Does it stand up to scientific scrutiny? Or is it just one of my body’s weasel stratagems, to get attention, to get a rest, to avoid doing something it doesn’t want to do? Some of us perceive our body as fundamentally dishonest, and illness as a scam it has thought up. When a hypochondriac asks ‘How are you?’ he really wants to know, and he wants to know what you think about how you are; his problem is that, before the conversation is over, he may well have developed your symptoms himself. Hypochondria is not – or not only – a form of self-indulgence. It is also a form of pathological empathy. Charles Darwin wanted to be a doctor, but was too sensitive to human suffering. It is a worrying thought – worrying enough to raise the pulse rate – that nurses and doctors are an elite, self-selected as sufficiently insensitive to get on with the job. Mothers’ behavior during pregnancy can have lifelong consequences for their children. Regular consumption of alcohol can cause mental retardation in newborns, while over-the-counter drugs such as Aspirin can have devastating effects on unborn children, with the potential to cause internal bleeding, for example.
