Three years ago today, I sank into - LITERALLY - my worst nightmare… and didn’t wake up from that nightmare for three weeks. Three years ago… I almost died. I’ve gotten so used to saying “I almost died” and talking about the coma that sometimes it doesn’t really hit me how blessed I am to still be here. Even the doctor who saved my life acknowledges that it was a miracle that I pulled through. As I reflect on that horrible nightmare that was the coma, I’m reminded of a vision I had where I saw Heaven. It was empty… and looked like a multipurpose room that I used to perform in before my forced hiatus… but I was convinced I had passed away, and Jesus was there. Behind me. He told me that it was not my time to join Him yet, and that there were people in my life who I still need to tell about Him. He loves us perfectly. Nobody else loves us the way He does. I haven’t been as bold as I would like to be since I woke up from that coma, but I won’t give up. Jesus is real and He is love. Pure and holy love. I pray that everyone I come in contact with, in person or virtually, will receive and experience His matchless love that can’t really begin to be understood until He is received as Lord and Savior. I know one day I’ll be back in that room with Him, surrounded by my eternal brothers and sisters and our Heavenly Father. Until then, He is my only hope, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. #emergencysurgery #traumawarrior #neurosurgery #moderndaymiracle #wakingnightmare #coma #neardeathexperience #inducedcoma #divineintervention #shuntsurgery #bowelblockage #lunginjury #medicineisamiracle #absolutetruth #prophecy #supernaturalvision #JesusIsLove #prophesy #worshipisalifestyle #traumatizedChristian #discipleship #abundantlife #uncomfortablegrace #spiritualsurgery #visionofHeaven #encounterwithGod #cometoJesus #youarebeloved #amazinggrace #faithbecomessight

And just like that, it’s been four years. Four years ago today, I underwent bladder augmentation surgery that plunged me into a medical journey that still has no end in sight. I’m traumatized. I’m scared. I’m EXHAUSTED. I’m burned out. But I’m also extremely joyful because throughout this season I have been richly blessed. The Lord has proven Himself more faithful than I could possibly imagine or hope for. So today, even as I grieve and brace myself for whatever is next, I celebrate my fourth Life Day. I am not who I was four years ago, and for that I am eternally grateful. I don’t know what remains ahead on this journey, but I know Jesus Christ will be with me. Life is hard, but life is sacred. #LifeDay #fouryears #traumawarrior #HowLongOLord #IHaveHadEnough #medicaltrauma #IAmDisabled #neurogenicbladder #borndisabled #JesusIsFaithful #relationshipwithGod #bladdersurgery #urostomy #stoma #ostomy #emergencysurgery #lightsandsirens #neurosurgery #coma #neardeathexperience #inducedcoma #bowelblockage #lunginjury #shuntsurgery #hydrocephalus #tickingtimebomb #shuntrevision #MentalIllnessIsReal #prolifemeansalllife #therapytime

MP使用限制(limitations): 1. Variable cutoff values (11.3, 14.4, 17, 25 J/min),且在normal lungs與不同種類的disease lungs可能相同MP下但肺損傷程度不相同 2. MP計算假設Vt-driving pressure為線性關係(所以overdistension → 低估實際值; recruitment → 高估實際值) 3. PEEP > 15 cm H2O→可能↓airway resistance (所以計算可能高估實際測量值) 4. MP反映呼吸器對整體肺泡的平均影響,肺泡通氣不均勻(inhomogeneity)時較無法反映每顆肺泡實際受損的程度 5. (4 X ΔP) + RR中ΔP與RR的關係是限定在Vt ≤12 mL/kg of PBW時(3.6~4倍),可能表示在Vt ≤12 mL/kg of PBW下,若要降低死亡率,ΔP每增加1 cm H2O需要降低RR至少4次/分鐘來補償 #lunginjury #mechanicalventilator #ards

Elle had a really great day. She talked and laughed and ate and watched tv. It was good to see her smiling! This is probably the best “day” she’s had since the beginning of February. It’s hard to believe that she’s been sick for almost two full months. A good day is what she needed. Unfortunately, nights are hard for her. She gets jittery and agitated. Once again, we’re doing what awe can to make her comfortable in the evenings so she’s able to stay calm and let herself relax. Due to the long covid, she’s developed tremors in her arms/hands/legs sometimes her whole body shakes and she just can’t stop which upsets her even more. She had an eval from pt and ot and she’ll have home health for skilled nursing in addition to OT/PT when we head home. I’m not sure when that will be, but we’re hoping it will be by the weekend. We’re also working on getting her in to the long Covid clinic and Vanderbilt. Please keep sending her your good vibes, keeping her in your prayers and sending her love, it’s working and we’re so thankful. #elle #facesoflongcovid #upsyndromelife #secondcovidhospitalization #medicallyfragile #downsyndrome #upsyndromelife #trex #burritoblanket #covidhospitalizations #longcovid #longcovidrecovery #longcovidjourney #sweetgirl #respiratorytherapy #physicaltherapy #occupationaltherapy #dvtsurvivor #covidrelatedpneumonia #pneumonia #kidneyinjury #lunginjury

*“SECONDARY LOBULE”* The pulmonary lobule refers to the smallest unit of lung structure bounded by connective tissue septa. Pulmonary lobules are irregularly polyhedral in shape and vary in size, measuring from 1 to 2.5 cm in diameter. Each secondary lobule is supplied by a small lobular bronchiole and pulmonary artery branch and is variably marginated in different lung regions by connective tissue (interlobular septa) containing pulmonary veins and lymphatics. Secondary lobular anatomy is easily visible on the surface of the lung because of these interlobular septa. The pulmonary acinus is smaller than the lobule and defined as the portion of lung distal to a terminal bronchiole (i.e., the last purely conducting airway). The acinus is supplied by a first-order respiratory bronchiole or bronchioles, and because respiratory bronchioles are the largest airways with alveoli in their walls, an acinus is the largest lung unit in which all airways participate in gas exchange. Acini usually measure from 6 to 10 mm in diameter with an average of 7 to 8 mm in adults. #pulmonary #medicine #pulmonologists #doctor #who #radiologist #ctchest #pulmonology #doc #radiohead #lung #lungcancer #lunginjury #lungradiology #health #radiología #rad #radiologystudent #radio #medico #neetpg #neetss

🫁 The chest often takes the brunt of the impact in a crash. If the lungs are punctured or damage, air escapes. The escaping air pushes into the space between the lungs and chest wall, creating intense pressure that prevents the lung from expanding. ⚠️ Warning signs of a #collapsedlung after a traumatic accident may include: - Chest pain - Coughing - Cyanosis (bluish-purple coloring around the nails, lips, gums or eyes) - Feeling sleepy or confused - Fever - Lightheadedness or feeling faint - Rapid heartbeat - Respiratory distress - Shortness of breath - Unconsciousness 🚑 Get emergency medical help immediately if you are experiencing one or more of these symptoms after a crash. Treating a collapsed lung will depend on the size and severity. It may include observation, oxygen therapy, thoracentesis, chest tube drainage, chemical pleurodesis, or surgery. For a collapsed lung, it can take a few days to two weeks to heal as the body reabsorbs the extra air around the lung, allowing it to inflate. If you or a loved one suffered a traumatic injury to the lungs or chest during an accident, we recommend you contact a #personalinjuryattorney to discuss your options before speaking with the insurance company. #lungs #chestpain #chestinjury #lunginjury #pneumothorax #personalinjury #caraccidentinjury #GMHblog

🪓 Tools of our trade 🔧 As you know, Move4 Physio aren't a clinic that rely on fancy bits of machinery and electrical devices, we're all about empowering you to take control of your own health in the guidance of our amazing physio's. That said, there are many tools we use in the clinic to get you the outcomes you want, we thought we'd feature each of them, & provide you some insight into why and how we use them within our assessment, rehabilitation and management of your issues. #4 The Acapella Now this is very specific tool we use as part of our new Cardio-Respiratory Physio service. So for a good understanding, we thought we'd let our specialist Alex Mouzakitis give you a brief overview of what it is and how it is used. “The Acapella Respiratory Device is a valuable tool in managing respiratory conditions such as COPD and cystic fibrosis. It uniquely combines vibration with positive expiratory pressure to help clear mucus from the airways. Easy to use and effective in different positions, the Acapella is suitable for both home and clinical settings. By aiding in airway clearance, it contributes to easier breathing and may help reduce the risk of respiratory infections." Look out for Alex's video on Monday, explaining in more detail how the Acapella device can assist with clearance, breathing and reducing infections! #breathlessness #respiratoryrehab #respiratoryphysio #chestphysio #COPD #longcovid #pulmonaryrehab #cardiacrehab #emphysema #cysticfibrosis #northampton #lunginjury #privaterespiratoryphysio

The #acuterespiratorydistresssyndrome (ARDS) treatment market addresses various underlying causes, including sepsis, characterized by widespread infection and systemic inflammation. Exposure to noxious substances, such as smoke or chemicals, has the potential to initiate the onset of ARDS. Severe #pneumonia, often of viral or bacterial origin, is a common instigator. Other factors, such as trauma or near-drowning incidents, can also lead to ARDS, necessitating tailored therapies to address the specific cause and manage the resulting respiratory distress.

EVALI stands for e-cigarette and vaping-associated lung injury. EVALI was first described in 2019 in the USA with studies suggesting that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-containing e-cigarette, or vaping, products, particularly from informal sources like friends, family, or online dealers, were linked to most EVALI cases. However, evidence was not sufficient to rule out the contribution of other chemicals of concern, including chemicals in either THC or non-THC products, in some of the reported EVALI cases. As of February 18, 2020, a total of 2,807 hospitalised EVALI cases or deaths were reported to the Centre for Disease Control in the US. This included a total of 68 deaths. More recent data has shown it can result from ‘standard’ EC use [2] but not on the scale as the 2019/2020 outbreak in the USA. EVALI is characterised by severe inflammation in someone who regularly vapes, without infection of the lungs.

Vape Pen Lung Injury Why is this happening now? Leafly has reported that a new ingredient—next-generation cutting agents (thickeners)—are being misused in THC vape carts. 🧪 Legal chemical thickener makers said they do not approve of use in vape carts. 🙅‍♂️ Chemical thickener makers also do not approve of dilutions greater than 10%. However, their web sites are unclear about the products’ approved and unapproved uses. ⚠️ The chemical makers have no information on what inhaling thickener aerosol does to your lungs, especially if it is heated or burned. 🫁 (Source: leafly.com) Be sure to follow us to find out more about the Cannabis, from Cultivation to Consumption. 🌱🍃 #HempHamper #SCAM #VapePen #LungInjury #Guide #Prevention #Trinidad #Local #Organic #Ganja #Herb #Weed #Cannabis #THC #Information #Educational #Plant #Medication #Meditation #Recreation #Wellness #Health #Plantbased

Vape Pen Lung Injury: How can I protect myself? 😷 Only buy tested, regulated adult-use and medical cannabis products. Licensed supply chains are much harder to contaminate. ✅ By contrast, street traffickers are filling carts with harmful chemicals, and they go straight into your lungs. 🚫 Here’s how to spot an illicit market, or counterfeit THC vape cart; 🧐 Though licensed markets have more safeguards, suspicious additives are not yet banned in California. Washington and Oregon banned *TOCOPHERYL ACETATE* in vapes mid-November. Colorado intends to ban *TOCOPHERYL ACETATE* , *MCT OIL*, and *PEG* this winter. Cheap illicit market vape carts also routinely malfunction. ⚡️ Malfunctioning carts can get very hot, and burn additives and thickeners, releasing an unknown noxious gas. ♨️ Run them at low, controlled temperatures. ⬇️ If you’re concerned about additives in your cannabis, stick to flower. 🍃 In terms of extracts, additive-free extract is called “rosin”, and it also comes in vape carts in mature adult-use markets. 🍯 There’s also tinctures, sublinguals, edibles, topicals, and transdermals, for those who want to avoid all cannabinoid inhalation products. 💧🧁🧴🩹 (Source: leafly.com) Be sure to follow us to find out more about the Cannabis, from Cultivation to Consumption. 🌱🍃 #HempHamper #SCAM #VapePen #LungInjury #Guide #Prevention #Trinidad #Local #Organic #Ganja #Herb #Weed #Cannabis #THC #Information #Educational #Plant #Medication #Meditation #Recreation #Wellness #Health #Plantbased

Helping people get back to the sport that they love! Long term Covid symptoms can really limit your life. Jedd is a 23 year old competitive runner & was having trouble taking a full breath even without exercise. He had added a full minute to his mile due to limited oxygen intake. "As a 23 year old and lifelong athlete, I was concerned when I experienced trouble breathing several months post-covid. After 2 consecutive days of laser treatments focusing on the pulmonary region, I immediately felt a difference in my breathing. I'm now able to take deep breaths that I couldn't do previously and my shortness of breath symptoms have completely resided. I'm amazed at how quickly my body responded to only a few treatments. When I felt confident that my symptoms were resolved, I stopped laser treatments and have since seen no decline in my health or breathing. I'm extremely grateful for Dacia and West Coast Laser Therapy for helping me feel like myself again so I can continue to pursue my athletic endeavors!" #runners #lungs #running #lunginjury #sportsmedicine #LongTermCOVID #COVIDLungInjury #CompetitiveRunner #NeverGiveUp #RoadToRecovery #StrongerEveryDay #EnduranceAthlete #AthleteLife #FitnessJourney #StayActive #HealthyLungs #StayStrong #MotivationMonday #FitnessMotivation #StayFit #TrainHard #OvercomeChallenges #Inspiration #Dedication #Perseverance

Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) is a promising compound that has garnered attention for its potential in improving various aspects of human health. One area of interest is its ability to help reverse lung injury. The lungs are essential organs responsible for respiration, and they are constantly exposed to harmful environmental pollutants and pathogens. When the lungs are damaged, it can lead to respiratory failure, which can be life-threatening. However, recent research has shown that NMN can potentially reverse lung injury. NMN is a precursor to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), an essential molecule involved in various cellular processes, including energy production, DNA repair, and gene expression. Studies have shown that NMN can increase NAD+ levels, which can improve cellular function and potentially reverse lung injury. One study conducted on mice showed that NMN treatment improved lung function and reduced lung inflammation caused by cigarette smoke exposure. NMN was also found to improve mitochondrial function, which is essential for cellular energy production and can help in repairing damaged lung tissue. In another study, researchers induced acute lung injury in rats & treated them with NMN. The results showed that NMN treatment reduced inflammation, improved lung function, and decreased oxidative stress, which can contribute to tissue damage. NMN's potential in reversing lung injury may lie in its ability to activate sirtuins, a family of proteins involved in regulating cellular processes. Sirtuins can help protect against oxidative stress & inflammation, which are common contributors to lung injury. In conclusion, NMN has shown promising results in reversing lung injury by improving cellular function, reducing inflammation, and promoting tissue repair. While more research is needed to fully understand its mechanisms and effectiveness, NMN holds potential as a therapeutic agent for lung injury & other respiratory conditions. #NMN #DNARepair #DecodeAge #DecodeAgeSupplements #LungDisease #LungInjury #RespiratoryHealth #LungTissue #LungDamage #CigaretteSmoke #Smoking #HealthyLung #HealthyLiving #Longevity #AntiAging #HealthyAging

Over the course of several years, we have followed as studies attempted to dissect the cause of increasing cases of lung injuries (called EVALI) related to ENDS (electronic nicotine delivery systems) products. Including vape pens, e-cigarettes, hookah pens, etc- ENDS products come in many forms. Some issues with ENDS products include undeclared ingredients, ingredients that are harmful if ingested, and now new evidence shows that vaping impacts a specific element of lung function, raising the potential for lung injury.

E-cigarettes produce an aerosol of cancer-causing chemicals that influence the health of both the vaper and those around them. One common ingredient, acrolein, is also an herbicide used to kill weeds. Acrolein can cause acute lung injury, COPD, asthma, and lung cancer. #Vaping #Vape #Ecig #Ecigarette #Juul #Vapor #CancerPrevention #LungCancer #Asthma #LungInjury

E-cigarette or vaping product use associated lung injury (EVALI). EVALI was first reported in the United States in Oct 2019. Until February 2020, as many as 2807 cases and 68 deaths have been reported in America. Europe reported its first EVALI case in March 2020. In Malaysia, 2 EVALI cases have been identified. They are both teenagers who suffered from permanent disability and now requiring continuous oxygen support. Vaping is illegal in Singapore since August 1, 2016. Despite the legal ban, it has been reported that vaping continues to grow steadily as a trend in Singapore since 2018. Vaping involves breathing in chemicals such as nicotine and flavors in aerosol form. The difference between vaping and smoking is that smoking delivers nicotine and other chemicals by burning solid tobacco. On the other hand, vaping does so by heating a liquid through an e-cigarette or other device like a vape pen. These vape liquids are sold in cartridges or custom containers, with propylene glycol often used as a base to create the vapor. There are thousands of vaping products with varying ingredients, including illicit substances. There are also many counterfeit products out in the market, easily purchasable via e-commerce. These cartridges with varying chemical cocktails may contain acrolein and formaldehyde and these are chemical found in insecticides, car exhaust and even embalming fluid used to preserve dead bodies. Vitamin E acetate is also strongly associated with EVALI. It is found largely in the counterfeit brands of vapes or e-cigarettes. These substances are toxic to the lungs and are capable of triggering an inflammatory response which can damage the narrow passageways in the lungs. Symptoms are similar to pneumonia as patients suffer from shortness of breath, chest pain and dry cough. It is hard to pin point the cause of EVALI as the possibility of other substances cannot be ruled out. No one knows why some people get EVALI and others do not. One thing we know for sure is that this is a rising issue in need of serious attention and action.

✅This study was designed to investigate the protective effect of penehyclidine hydrochloride (PHC) on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-related lung injury in rats and the related mechanisms. ✅Thirty-six rats were divided into control, CPB and PHC groups. The CPB model was established in CPB and PHC groups. In PHC group, 2-mg/kg PHC was added to the pre-filling solution for CPB modeling. At 30 min before CPB (T1), immediately after left hilar opening (T2) and end of experiment (T3), the hemodynamic indexes, blood gas indexes, serum inflammatory factors, lung wet-day ratio and water content and lung tissue oxidative stress indexes were determined. ✅At T2 and T3, compared with CPB group, in PHC group the heart rate and mean arterial pressure increased significantly, the oxygenation index increased significantly, the respiratory index decreased significantly, and the lung wet-day ratio and water content decreased significantly. At T3, compared with CPB group, in PHC groups the serum tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin 6 and interleukin 1β levels decreased significantly, the lung tissue superoxide dismutase level increased significantly, and the myeloperoxidase and malondialdehyde levels decreased significantly. ✅PHC treatment can alleviate the CPB-related lung injury in rats. The mechanisms may be related to its reducing inflammatory response and resisting oxidative stress. 🔗Link to the article in the bio link #cardiopulmonarybyass #lunginjury #inflammation #oxidativestress #rats

Asbestosis is probably the single most important work-related lung disease & is caused by inhaling fibers of asbestos, a heat-resistant and insulating material. Asbestosis fibers and dust containing silica penetrate and irritate the outer parts of the lung, causing inflammation and, over the years, pulmonary fibrosis (that is thickening and scarring of lung tissue). An extended period, sometimes 20 years or more, may elapse between exposure to the dust and onset of the disease. Breathlessness is the main symptom of asbestosis and silicosis and it becomes increasingly severe as the disease develops. There may also be a dry cough and a feeling of tightness in the chest. Eventually, respiratory failure develops. No matter how much time has passed between exposure to the dust and onset of the disease, it is NOT too late.
