上海肝右叶结节严重吗(上海腰痛怎么办最快最有效的方法) (今日更新中)

— and he's got the scars to prove it.Kyle Lano says the e-cigarettes he thought were a safer alternative to smoking were instead a more efficient way to die.There are now 9 million vapers in the United States and a measly 450 who have suffered severe lung illness. In the minds of many vapers, the numbers don't warrant the health hysteria now sweeping the nation.Or at least that's what 21-year-old Lano told himself and anyone else who would listen."I would always argue how safe it was until those e-cigarettes took effect on me," he said.One year ago, the self-proclaimed vaping fanatic suffered a collapsed left lung."At this time, I didn't think vaping had anything to do with it," he said. "And I told my family and the doctors that same thing. So, I didn't stop."His vaping habit, what he calls his addiction to the vaporized nicotine, continued unabated following his hospitalization."I liked the clouds and the nicotine," he said. "I was really into it."Then, this summer, his love of vaping collapsed, along with his right lung."My chest just got really tight and I felt a sharp pain come right back up to my chest," Lano said.His choice of whether to quit had been flanked by his addiction."Now I believe it's vaping because it's the only thing I'm doing," Lano said. "There's no other reason why my lungs should've collapsed the way they did."Lano spent six days in the hospital this time. It cost his family thousands. But much worse, he said, it cost him one-third of his right lung and a lifetime of diminished lung capacity."I didn't know how serious it was until I was actually in the hospital and they showed me how small my lung was," he said.A smoker gets plenty of warning before major health effects set in. That includes years of coughing, a loss of taste and smell. They are all precursors to something worse is on the horizon. However, for vapers like Lano, symptoms don't include a heads up — and we could be years from understanding why.Dr. Christian Thurstone is the Director of Behavior Health at Denver Health. He knows why teens and young adults get hooked on vaping. It's the same reason anyone can get hooked on smoking: nicotine. But what he calls the Russian roulette being played by millions with vaping is mind-boggling to him.And, until more is known about what's going into vaping juices, his advice is the same today as it was when vaping hit the U. S. market more than a decade ago."Until we know a lot more information about exactly what ingredient is in the vape juice that's causing these deaths and serious illnesses, the best advice is to stay away from vaping," Thurstone siad.That's terrible news for the vaping industry, which is largely unregulated and now under tremendous scrutiny. Still, 40% of Denver teens have tried vaping, and half of those were still vaping this month.Lano sees the continued popularity of vaping among teens and young adults and pictures an entire generation clouded by false claims and fancy flavors. He fears the real costs of this "untested" habit coming into focus far too late."We have our whole lives ahead of us, and we're going to end up on oxygen in our 20s and 30s," Lano said.Vaping has quickly become one of the most popular addictions for an entire generation.While vaping supporters insist cases of severe lung illnesses and death are only tied to those users who load their vaping devices with black market THC products and tainted juice pods, Thurstone has seen a different science. It's convinced him dangerous oils and heavy metals can show up in just about any vaping pod. Thurstone says that to assume a vape pod doesn't contain dangerous chemicals is little more than a user taking a leap of faith.This story was originally published by David Klugh on 3751

– is an organization working to advance gender equity for women and girls. “Overall, the gender pay gap is 82 cents on the dollar right now from the most recent research this Fall of 2019. That means on average full-time working women earn 82 cents on the dollar compared to men working full time,” AAUW CEO Kim Churches said. According to Churches, the gender pay gap extends to every industry and the higher a job is in pay, the larger the gap typically is. “So the gender pay gap really is that when you have equal skills and equal educational levels, and yet women are paid systemically less than their male colleagues,” Churches said. Churches says part of the problem is that women have been historically steered toward a certain type of career that’s typically underpaid, like teaching or social work. However, she says women are still being offered less money when entering traditionally male-dominated professions. The same can't be said when the roles are reversed. “Nursing is a great example of that. More men have been entering the nursing field, and yet there’s still an 8 percent pay gap. Meaning once men entered, they were out-earning their female colleagues,” Churches said. So why is this happening? Besides traditional bias, Churches says states that haven’t updated laws are using salary history to determine future salary and women are often less likely to negotiate pay. With more dual-income parents today and more women becoming the breadwinner of their family, Churches says there needs to be updated policies, employers have to improve their practices, and women must feel empowered to navigate their own financial futures. “Frankly this is not just a women’s issue, it’s about economic security for families,” Churches said. Families that many young women hope to have. “The wage gap is supposed to close in 2048, and that is not ok. It should be now. It should have been a while ago. So I think our hope is that with awareness it can speed up and it can close faster than that,” Worden said. The girls’ story has helped to sell 0,000 worth of “equal pay” jerseys with the proceeds going toward promoting women’s economic equality.  2169

in order to help produce medical equipment for those fighting the coronavirus pandemic.Ford says it will team with 3M, GE Healthcare and the United Auto Workers Union to assemble more than 100,000 face shields per week and use its in-house 3D printing capability to produce disposable respirators for healthcare workers."This is such a critical time for America and the world. It is a time for action and cooperation. By coming together across multiple industries, we can make a real difference for people in need and for those on the front lines of this crisis," said Bill Ford, Ford's executive chairman. "At Ford, we feel a deep obligation to step up and contribute in times of need, just as we always have through the 117-year history of our company."Here's what the companies will produce, according to Ford:Powered Air-Purifying RespiratorsFord team members are working with 3M to increase the manufacturing capacity of their powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR) designs and working jointly to develop a new design leveraging parts from both companies to meet the surging demand for first responders and health care workers. The respirators can be produced in Ford facilities by UAW workers.In order to speed up the process, Ford and 3M teams have been locating off-the-shelf parts — like fans from the Ford F-150's cooled seats or 3M HEPA air filters and portable tool battery packs. All these spare parts can be used to make thousands of respirators. Ford is looking at how it might produce these new-generation PAPRs in one of its Michigan manufacturing facilities, helping 3M boost production potentially tenfold."Working with 3M and GE, we have empowered our teams of engineers and designers to be scrappy and creative to quickly help scale up production of this vital equipment," said Jim Hackett, Ford's president and CEO. "We've been in regular dialogue with federal, state and local officials to understand the areas of greatest needs. We are focusing our efforts to help increase the supply of respirators, face shields and ventilators that can help assist health care workers, first responders, critical workers as well as those who have been infected by the virus.""We're exploring all available opportunities to further expand 3M's capacity and get healthcare supplies as quickly as possible to where they're needed most – which includes partnering with other great companies like Ford," said Mike Roman, 3M's chairman of the board and CEO. "It's crucial that we mobilize all resources to protect lives and defeat this disease, and I'm incredibly grateful to Ford and their employees for this partnership."VentilatorsIn addition, Ford and GE Healthcare are working together to expand the production of a simplified version of GE Healthcare's existing ventilator design to support patients with respiratory failure or difficulty breathing caused by COVID-19. These ventilators could be produced at a Ford manufacturing site in addition to a GE location."We are encouraged by how quickly companies from across industries have mobilized to address the growing challenge we collectively face from COVID-19," said GE Healthcare President & CEO Kieran Murphy. "We are proud to bring our clinical and technical expertise to this collaboration with Ford, working together to serve unprecedented demand for this life-saving technology and urgently support customers as they meet patient needs."Work on this initiative ties to a request for help from U.S. government officials.Respirators and Face ShieldsThe first 1,000 face shields will be tested this week at hospitals in the Detroit area. Roughly 75,000 of these shields are expected to be finished this week and more than 100,000 face shields per week will be produced at Ford subsidiary Troy Design and Manufacturing's facilities in Plymouth, Mich.Ford is leveraging its Advanced Manufacturing Center in Redford, Mich., and in-house 3D printing capabilities to manufacture disposable respirators, which are needed to help filter the air healthcare workers and first responders breathe. Once approved by the proper health agency, Ford will initially start at a pace equal to 1,000 per month but will quickly grow production as fast as possible.Ford is evaluating a separate effort, not involving GE Healthcare with the U.K. government to produce additional ventilators.In China, Ford of China's joint venture partner Jiangling Motors also has donated 10 specially equipped Transit ambulance vans to hospitals in Wuhan.Ford is also reacquiring 165,000 N95 respirators from China that were originally sent by Ford to China earlier this year to help combat coronavirus.Ford has also kicked off a working team to help hospitals locate and secure urgently needed surgical and N95 respirators. Ford has so far committed sending Henry Ford Health Systems 40,000 surgical masks while it locates additional supplies.This story was originally published by 4919
