¶(L:)[!!*]SEDATIVE— Midazolam >L
Lies used this during Leukemia treatment
"""
Midazolam, sold under the brand name Versed among others, is a benzodiazepine medication used for anesthesia and procedural sedation, and to treat severe agitation. It works by inducing sleepiness, decreasing anxiety, and causing a loss of ability to create new memories.
"""
"""
Paradoxical effects, such as increased activity, can occur especially in children and older people.[10]
(...)
In rare susceptible individuals, midazolam has been known to cause a paradoxical reaction, a well-documented complication with benzodiazepines. When this occurs, the individual may experience anxiety, involuntary movements, aggressive or violent behavior, uncontrollable crying or verbalization, and other similar effects. This seems to be related to the altered state of consciousness or disinhibition produced by the drug. Paradoxical behavior is often not recalled by the patient due to the amnesia-producing properties of the drug. In extreme situations, flumazenil can be administered to inhibit or reverse the effects of midazolam. Antipsychotic medications, such as haloperidol, have also been used for this purpose.[42]

"""
"""
- Deep cracks of the feet or toes usually do not heal with ointments.
- Use a liquid skin bandage that will completely seal the crack. Many brands of liquid bandage are available. No prescription is needed.
- Start with 2 layers. Put on another layer as often as needed.
- As the crack heals, the plastic layer will be pushed up.

2020/06 Lies:
left ear, lasted a month
probably touch with q-tip, ~3-days later problems
took a few ibuprofens when needed in beginning
were applying garlic+olive oil mixture (warm)
there were "crusts inside"
heard 60% (it was totally stuffed)
______ week 1
ruptures ear drum:
hearing totally gone
went to hospital, but didn't have coverage documents ready
leaking and blood started after
goes to pharmacy:
pharmacist is not clear about it but there is a distinction between:
A) OUTER EAR
B) MIDDLE EAR (which should not be treated with drops)
treats with Otogen drops:
"they felt very cold"
i wasn't really taking the drops
______ week 2
the infection healed "because of time"
"we kept doing the oil treatment"
______ week 3
flies to Belgium, as *after* you have broken ear drum it's fine
### (not sure):
got some pills that "needed to be efficient within X days"
otherwise surgical options would need to be assesed
but then it worked out (X+a few days)
______ 1 year later
totally cured, "i feel maybe some slight sensitivity, slight tingle, basically tingle"
________________________ 2021/05 D:
probably q-tip my ear
a few days later:
close with somebody with runny nose and coughs
she also sticks hair in my ear canal (?!)

swelling!
tried:

getting better, then worse:
* swelling on face-side of targus
* day 4, jaw kind of blocked — TMJ suspected as well!:
https://www.healthline.com/health/tmj-disorders
(esp since D has a destroyed TMJ from wisdom tooth extraction there)
__________________ day 5
tried vinegar+alcohol :
* tried on good ear first
* was worried because YOU SHOULD NOT DO IT WITH MIDDLE EAR INFECTION didn't feel any seems it helps
* no difference - trying to use it a few times

* i decided to not take the pills so far, tried reaching my doctors but no luck until today morning
* had a 10min consultation and she basically went:
1) you don't have pain when you press on the ears
2) you don't have blocked nasal pathways:
this is important for the middle ear to air out
3) cover your nose, blow it to "equalize pressure":
if this doesn't hurt, you're fine
so her opinion on distance is:
i don't need antibiotics if nothing else turns up

¶ Prevention when chronic: vax against flue & pneumonia!
https://www.kind.com/en-sg/magazine/ear-diseases/middle-ear-infection/
"""
There is no really reliable way to prevent middle ear infections. However, scientific evidence suggests that vaccination against pneumococcus and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) can protect against middle ear infections. These bacteria can trigger the painful inflammations. The Standing Commission on Vaccination at the Robert Koch Institute in Berlin therefore recommends immunisation as a standard vaccination. Whether vaccination is advisable should be discussed with a specialist. More information about the recommended time frame for the most important vaccinations in infancy can be found here.

Facial asymmetry is a condition that may be congenital or acquired. The most common cause of acquired facial asymmetry is unilateral TMJ ankylosis which occurs following trauma, infection and chronic inflammatory diseases. Otitis media is one of local causes of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) associated complications such as suppurative arthritis and ankylosis.
We report a case with history of chronic otitis media that resulted in restricted growth of the mandible, atresia of the external auditory meatus and facial asymmetry.

WOUND IRRIGATION
When talking about the topic of Wound Irrigation, many people picture someone steadily pouring water over a wound from a bottle or container. While that is certainly better than nothing, there are certain things to consider which greatly increase the efficiency of Irrigation. Whenever Wound Irrigation is performed correctly it removes debris and contaminates from the wound, enhances wound healing, and most importantly makes it easier for you to visualize (and thus assess) the Wound. Like I mentioned before, Irrigation is not as simple as pouring water or normal saline over a wound before you apply a dressing, it must be performed properly through planned and deliberate actions to achieve the desired results.
So if it's not dumping a ton of water over the Wound, what is Irrigation, and what does it achieve when carried out correctly? Wound irrigation involves the use of fluid, in a pressurized method, to remove:
cellular debris that is loosely clinging to
the wound
surface bacteria
wound exudate (drainage)
dressing residue
residual topical residue from ointments
and other topical agents
The ultimate goal when irrigating a wound is to assist with maintaining a moist wound environment to promote optimal wound healing and debridement of devitalized tissues, also to expedite wound healing. Almost all wounds you'll encounter can and should be irrigated. The only exception to the rule I can think of off hand is wounds that are bleeding heavily, and I mean heavily. In these types of wounds Irrigation will impact the bodies blood clotting cascade and any irrigation may dislodge clots that are forming, or have already formed, and actually cause the bleeding to resume.
So now that we have an idea of what Irrigation is, and what we're hoping to accomplish by performing it, let's look at some considerations of Wound Irrigation you'll want to keep in mind:
Wounds should be irrigated during your initial assessment to more effectively and accurately assess all aspects of the Wound, in addition wounds should be irrigated every time you perform a dressing change.
Normal saline is considered the standard as far as irrigant solution in the healthcare setting; however, there is evidence based reports in circulation currently that elude to tap water resulting in faster wound healing.
THE MOST IMPORTANT Consideration to Irrigation is no doubt Irrigation Pressure. Without enough pressure being applied during Irrigation, the process will fall short of removing surface bacteria, debris, and contaminants. In the event this happens, the potential for Wound infection is greatly increased. On the other end of the spectrum providing too much pressure can actually force contaminants downward into the wound bed and also disrupt and damage granulation tissue. The optimal Irrigation pressure should be between 4 and 15 psi, to achieve this in the healthcare setting an 18g blunt tip catheter is attached to the end of a normal saline flush.
With the above considerations in mind, let's walk through, step by step, on how you should perform the Irrigation of a wound:
Gather all the necessary materials to preform your intervention, set up and stage your area appropriately
Preform hand hygiene and then position the patient to provide the best access and visualization of the wound.
Don gloves and remove the old dressing, throw away the old dressing and the now soiled gloves, perform hand hygiene
Drape the patient and pad around the wound with towels or padding to absorb the irrigant solution.
Don protective equipment (eye protection, gloves, and gown and mask). The likelihood of splash back should be heavily considered and protected against
Irrigate the wound using the appropriate pressure (4-15 psi, accomplished by using the appropriate size needle to achieve pressurized stream), of note studies have long reported a psi of 10-15 to be most affective, for that Pressure an 18g needle can be attached to the flush
Pat dry any intact skin with light pressure and cover open areas with sterile gauze
Redress the wound only after performing any necessary interventions such as debridement.
Dispose of dirty/soiled materials
IMPORTANT NOTE: You should be careful to allow the solution to flow from the CLEANEST to the DIRTIEST area of the wound. Do not force irrigant solution into any wound pockets such as any areas of tunneling.
So in closing lets cover some key points to take away from this write up. Performing wound irrigation is easy if you understand the principles behind doing it, in addition it's relatively quick and effectively promotes wound healing. Having the proper tools to carry out your interventions readily available to you will make the process more efficient and limit the chance of Wound contamination, and thus, risk of infection. Irrigation can literally be carried out on almost any Wound, on any part of the body, and can be done in virtually any setting. So, if the injury results in any debris being present in the wound, if you suspect any contamination at all (and you always should), if you have any concerns at all, FLUSH , FLUSH, FLUSH

Acne has a prevalence of over 90% among adolescents and persists into adulthood in approximately 12%–14% of cases with psychological and social implications. Possible outcomes of the inflammatory acne lesions are acne scars which, although they can be treated in a number of ways, may have a negative psychological impact on social life and relationships. The main types of acne scars are atrophic and hypertrophic scars. The pathogenesis of acne scarring is still not fully understood, but several hypotheses have been proposed. There are numerous treatments: chemical peels, dermabrasion/microdermabrasion, laser treatment, punch techniques, dermal grafting, needling and combined therapies for atrophic scars: silicone gels, intralesional steroid therapy, cryotherapy, and surgery for hypertrophic and keloidal lesions.

¶Measles & immune amnesia ?!
https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20211112-the-people-with-immune-amnesia
"""
Enter "immune amnesia", a mysterious phenomenon that's been with us for millennia, though it was only discovered in 2012. Essentially, when you're infected with measles, your immune system abruptly forgets every pathogen it's ever encountered before – every cold, every bout of flu, every exposure to bacteria or viruses in the environment, every vaccination. The loss is near-total and permanent. Once the measles infection is over, current evidence suggests that your body has to re-learn what's good and what's bad almost from scratch.
[...]
Scientists have known for decades that even after they recover, children who have been infected with measles are significantly more likely to fall ill and die from other causes. In fact, a study from 1995 found that vaccinating against the virus reduces the overall likelihood of death by between 30% and 86% in the years afterwards.
"""
HUH
"""
First measles infects memory cells, then somehow the immune system learns how to identify the virus itself. Once it's started producing immune cells specific to measles, they travel around the body, hunting down infected memory cells So you end up with cells that can identify measles systematically killing off cells that can identify other viruses. The virus leads us to destroy our own immune memories.
Eventually, measles ends up replacing all your normal immune memory cells with ones that can identify it, and nothing else. This means you're only immune to measles – while all other pathogens are forgotten. It's a counter-intuitive strategy, especially from the virus' perspective, since it won't be able to sneak into the body again without being recognised.

¶[!!*] TOREAD/COMMUNISM— Social Medicine
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_medicine
"""
Social care traditionally takes a different look at issues of impairment and disability by adopting a holistic perspective on health. The social model was developed as a direct response to the medical model, the social model sees barriers (physical, attitudinal and behavioural) not just as a biomedical issue, but as caused in part by the society we live in – as a product of the physical, organizational and social worlds that lead to discrimination (Oliver 1996; French 1993; Oliver and Barnes 1993). Social care advocates equality of opportunities for vulnerable sections of society.[4]
[...]
German physician Rudolf Virchow (1821–1902) laid foundations for this model. Other prominent figures in the history of social medicine, beginning from the 20th century, include Salvador Allende, Henry E. Sigerist, Thomas McKeown,[5] Victor W. Sidel,[6] Howard Waitzkin, and more recently Paul Farmer[7] and Jim Yong Kim.

The social model was developed as a direct response to the medical model, the social model sees barriers (physical, attitudinal and behavioural) not just as a biomedical issue, but as caused in part by the society we live in – as a product of the physical, organizational and social worlds that lead to discrimination (Oliver 1996; French 1993; Oliver and Barnes 1993). Social care advocates equality of opportunities for vulnerable sections of society.[4]
[...]
German physician Rudolf Virchow (1821–1902) laid foundations for this model. Other prominent figures in the history of social medicine, beginning from the 20th century, include Salvador Allende, Henry E. Sigerist, Thomas McKeown,[5] Victor W. Sidel,[6] Howard Waitzkin, and more recently Paul Farmer[7] and Jim Yong Kim.

How to keep brains clean via CSF?

‘Lymphatic plexus’ behind the nose drains cerebrospinal fluid from the brain, potentially impacting neurodegenerative conditions -
In a groundbreaking study published in Nature, South Korean researchers led by Director KOH Gou Young of the Center for Vascular Research within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have uncovered a distinctive network of lymphatic vessels at the back of the nose that plays a critical role in draining cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the brain. The study, sheds light on a previously unknown route for CSF outflow, potentially unlocking new avenues for understanding and treating neurodegenerative conditions.
In our brains, waste products generated as byproducts of metabolic activity are expelled through cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Accumulation of waste in the brain, if not properly expelled, can damage nerve cells, leading to impaired cognitive function, dementia, and other neurodegenerative brain disorders. Hence, the regulation of CSF production, circulation, and drainage has long been a focus of scientific attention, especially in relation to age-related conditions like Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases.
The brain produces around 500 mL of this fluid per day, which is drained from the subarachnoid space. Among the known drainage routes are lymphatic vessels around the cranial nerves and the upper region of the nasal cavity. Despite well-documented evidence of lymphatics aiding CSF clearance, identifying the exact anatomical connections between the subarachnoid space and extracranial lymphatics has posed a challenge due to their extremely complex structure.
