“Today I'm donating convalescent plasma,” Judy Lutkin said.“This will be my third time donating.” Lutkin had COVID-19 back in April. “I was pretty sick for about four or five days,” she said. Now she comes infrequently to donate plasma. “It doesn't hurt. It doesn't feel bad. It’s fairly easy.”Plasma is just one of the tools used in fighting coronavirus. As it gets donated, it goes to COVID patients.Since early April, when Vitalant started collecting these donations, they’ve collected more than 9,700 donations equaling more than 33,000 units.“You could help as many as five patients with one sitting,” Liz Lambert, Vitalant spokesperson, said.Vitalant is a nonprofit that collects blood for about 1,000 hospitals across the country.“Right now, there's an emergency need for convalescent plasma as we anticipate more patients will be getting that treatment, or hospitals will be wanting to use that treatment,” Lambert said.The FDA issued an emergency use authorization for convalescent plasma as a potential COVID-19 treatment in late August. Convalescent plasma is taken from the blood of someone who’s already contracted a particular illness, in this case, COVID-19.This isn’t the first time in history; it’s been used to treat a virus.“Convalescent plasma is a very historic and crude way of conferring so-called passive immunity to patients who have a viral or bacterial disease,” Doctor Phil Stahel, Chief Medical Officer at the Medical Center of Aurora, said.So far, this center has treated 100 COVID-19 patients using this method.“Studies have shown that convalescent plasma is very safe,” he said. “It has been recently used for Ebola and other viral diseases for which we do not have a vaccination.”Doctor Stahel said patients they treat who are significantly sick could recover within 24 to 48 hours.Here’s how it works.“Antibodies are proteins that we form in our blood that attack antigens once our immune system recognizes them. It takes weeks for these to develop,” Doctor Ralph Vassallo, Chief Medical & Scientific Officer for Vitalant, said.The antibodies are taken from a recovered patient and put in a patient who recently contracted the disease.“The idea of convalescent plasma is to give them, in that period, when the patient does not have their immune response, to help neutralize the virus and prevent it from infecting cells in the body,” Doctor Vassallo said. “Convalescent plasma has been used for over 100 years in respiratory infections, including influenza.”With more hospitals using convalescent plasma to help COVID-19 patients, blood donation centers hope to identify more plasma donors who have recovered from the virus.“Whether its blood or convalescent plasma, there is a constant need,” Lambert said.Vitalant checks every regular blood donor for the antibodies as well, in hopes of identifying more possible donors.“In the first couple of September, it’s been about 3.6% nationwide,” Dr. Vassallo said.Those interested in donating convalescent plasma need to meet the same requirements as a blood donor, like being 16 years old or older, and at least 110 pounds.However, they also need to have a doctor-referred case of COVID-19 or doctor-referred antibody test.“It is indeed the first line of defense, and we should treat those patients early. This is for the adult in patients who are severely sick and at risk of getting on a ventilator, which we try to avoid by all means,” Doctor Stahel said. 3450

(KGTV) -- Two recently filed civil lawsuits claim the government is not providing adequate medical care to some U.S. citizens in its custody.The lawsuits allege that dozens of individuals’ medical needs were deliberately ignored by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents, and Americans were forced to undergo life-threatening and torturous detox in temporary holding cells at the border.10News spoke with several people who blamed an overwhelmed system, saying Customs and Border Protection doesn’t have the resources to deal with the demand. They say rather than taking people they arrest who are addicted to drugs or alcohol to a hospital or nearby medical facility they were put in holding cells and ignored."If they keep this up there's a good chance that they are going to put someone in the basement [who] is not going to make it through,” said San Diego attorney Brody McBride.McBride represents a U.S. citizen named Marc Oliver Lewis.According to court documents, Lewis was arrested at the San Ysidro Land Port of Entry in February, accused of trying to bring a non-U.S. citizen into the United States illegally.Two months after his arrest, Lewis sued the government claiming he repeatedly told the defendants (unknown agents of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security) he had been using high doses of alcohol and heroin. The lawsuit states, “even though Mr. Lewis began experiencing objectively severe symptoms of detox and withdrawal from alcohol and heroin, Defendants never provided Mr. Lewis with the medical care required to treat his serious medical needs while Mr. Lewis was in Defendants custody.”McBride said within several hours of his arrest, Lewis started experiencing the beginning effects of alcohol and heroin withdrawal including restlessness, headache, and muscle pains, among other symptoms. He said DHS officials transported Lewis to the Metropolitan Correction Center (MCC), a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility, but officials there rejected Lewis and recommended he be taken to a hospital for immediate medical attention. DHS instead returned Lewis to a DHS holding facility at or near the San Ysidro Land Port of Entry.“They put him in a holding cell with up to 20 other individuals and just basically ignored him,” McBride said.According to his lawsuit, Lewis started to experience severe detox and withdrawal symptoms, including difficulty breathing, chest tightness, racing heart, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea."He was in so much pain he couldn't get up to use the bathroom unassisted, you know he ended up vomiting on himself, defecating on himself,” McBride said. “Meanwhile the officers provided no treatment.”McBride said Lewis was transferred to an isolation cell, but was left in his soiled clothes without a bed, shower or medical attention for four days at which time he was eventually transferred to MCC.Team 10 obtained transcripts for a federal court hearing related to Lewis’ criminal case. According to the transcripts, after listening to the alleged conditions of Lewis’ detention, Chief Judge Hon. Larry Alan Burns said, “It seems to me these are things that, you know, reasonable people, whether prosecutors, defense attorneys, or judges or officers for that matter would say, yeah, we don’t want somebody sitting around in clothing in which they’ve defecated. We’re not going to do that. That’s not a humane thing. This is not some third world country where we treat prisoners like that. So, we’ll get them a change of clothes, we’ll let them shower.”Burns also said, “I think some adjustments need to be made in the case of people that are coming down from narcotics withdrawal.” He added, “I think the government is in a position where they’re vulnerable probably to civil claims that they have – if they don’t do that to civil liability for being indifferent to somebody’s medical needs under the circumstances.”According to the transcript, Burns said he didn’t believe he was authorized to issue orders that would create change, but did suggest that he agrees there’s a problem that can be fixed.McBride said it isn’t just one person being treated badly. He also represents a woman by the name of Amanda Sams who is suing the government.According to federal documents, Sams was also accused of trying to bring a non-U.S. citizen into the United States illegally.After her arrest, Sams told agents she was an alcoholic and an addict, McBride said.Her complaint against the government alleges the night she was arrested, Sams began experiencing the initial effects of detox and withdrawal. It states officials tried to transport her to MCC but, “given Ms. Sams’ obviously unstable medical condition, MCC officials rejected Sams and recommended that she be taken to a hospital for immediate medical attention.”McBride said officers instead “took her back to this facility at the border where they put her in a cell in the basement and left her there for four days.”Sams was not seen by a doctor, nurse, or other medical provider to treat her life-threatening detox and withdrawal symptoms, McBride said.According to her lawsuit, “At several points, defendants even closed the small window to her cell to silence Ms. Sams’ continued pleas for medical attention. Defendants told Ms. Sams, ‘You’re not our problem.’”"They are entitled to a base standard of medical care if the government is going to arrest them and hold them in custody,” McBride said.More people detoxing at the border?Documents obtained by Team 10 show more than just the two people suing the government have gone through detox at the San Ysidro Land Port of Entry.Team 10 obtained what’s known as the “No Body Active List” or “Federal Defender No Body Report.”According to court filings “By 9:00 a.m. each day, the Government shall provide a list to the duty Magistrate Judge and Federal Defender of all persons arrested before 6:00 a.m. that day, but who will not be arraigned that day. The Government shall also provide the reasons for the delay and the location of the defendants. The Government is therefore required to provide the No Body Active List by order of the Court.”A No Body Active List from March of this year shows two additional people involuntarily detoxing from heroin were kept at the San Ysidro Port. Team 10 investigator Adam Racusin has also seen other No Body Active Lists from different dates showing other people marked as detoxing at the San Ysidro Port of Entry.Team 10 tried to get all No Body Active Lists from the start of this year, but so far, the United States Attorney's Office has not turned them over, saying they aren't public documents. Government ResponseA spokesperson for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) tells Team 10 “CBP cannot comment on matters that are currently under litigation.”The spokesperson sent 10News an agency-wide policy that describes nationwide standards, which govern CBP’s interaction with detained individuals. While officials wouldn’t comment, transcripts from a hearing related to Lewis’ criminal case describe some of the conditions and protocols at the San Ysidro Land Port of Entry.According to the transcript, a supervisory enforcement officer over the criminal enforcement unit testified that detainees are observed every 15 to 20 minutes, but the welfare check does not involve checking vitals, such as blood pressure or heart rate.The supervisor testified that there are medical personnel at the port including physician assistants. When asked roughly how many hours of the day are covered by a physician assistant, the supervisor testified “it varies from day-to-day depending on their schedule, but I know they are there for a majority about 16 to probably 20 hours a day.” She also noted there is a physician they report to who is either on-site or they’re able to contact by email or call.When asked by the court if there is any different protocol followed by personnel at the port once someone is returned from the MCC, rejected for medical reasons, the supervisor answered: “Our normal protocol is that we then immediately ask for space at API (Alvarado Parkway Institute). We try not to hold them at the port. We hold them at the port for the minimum amount of time that we can.” The judge then asked “In this case, I was told there was no space” to which the supervisor responded. “Correct.”ChangeIn court for a different criminal case where a detainee has alleged a lack of medical treatment, an attorney for the government told a judge that procedures have been changed.She said now, people who are brought back to the port are seen by a physician assistant every shift, which is every six to eight hours.Team 10 spoke with an addiction specialist who said people suffering from withdrawal should be checked and monitored more than that. 8757

“They’re at less than 50% of their ideal body weight. They are incredibly compromised and many times, it’s an end of life scenario where they’ve been told, there’s nothing else that can be done for them,” said Jennifer PetersonPeterson is describing the state her patients are often in by the time she’s starts treating those dying from an eating disorder. She’s a registered nurse with Angel Med Flight, an air ambulance company.Her team makes frequent trips to drop off patients at the Denver Health Acute Center for Eating Disorders.“They’re the first and only medical inpatient eating disorder program in the United States,” she said.“The Acute program at Denver Health takes care of the most medically compromised eating disorder patients from certainly the United States,” said Dr. Philip Mehler, the director and founder of Acute.He says the center turned to Angel Med when a patient died after being transported by a different air ambulance provider.“She died and shouldn’t have died because the issue that happened was preventable if they had followed the guidelines that were set up,” said Dr. Mehler.During COVID-19, numbers have shot up both for the number of patients visiting Acute, and those being transported by Angel Med.“Our admissions went up, I think, because the residential treatment centers were hesitant to take these people, they don’t have the infection control things in place that we can do on our unit,” said Mehler.“The six months prior to the COVID pandemic we were roughly transporting three patients per month. And since March that has increased to about 8 patients,” said Peterson.Isolation can cause anxiety and depression. Both be contributing factors to eating disorders.The National Eating Disorders Association Helpline says their chat queries increased by more than 80 percent between April 2019 and April 2020.Angel Med attributes their increases to patients not wanting to travel to Denver commercially during the pandemic with compromised health.“Many people are nervous about flying commercially, concerned about seeking care at a hospital, or concerned about getting treatment for a specific issue because of the potential for potentially contracting COVID,” said Peterson.For Peterson, being able to work with Acute is a special opportunity.“These cases always are heartbreaking, every single time. And knowing that we may help save their life if we get them to Acute, it may be treatment that they’ve never had before or an option that they’ve never had before. So it’s a pretty incredible thing to say that you’ve actually saved someone’s life,” said Peterson. 2616

(KGTV) -- Since 2013, Kitchens for Good has helped fight hunger across San Diego by working with local food backs, created programs to help those with troubled pasts, and now they're adding a baking option to their apprenticeship program.After Kitchens for Good launched their culinary apprenticeship program five years ago, it has led to both success and opportunity. "It's an amazing program here, we are so lucky to be here doing this," said an instructor for their baking program. They added in a baking option to their existing culinary program that launched this month.Their apprenticeships aren't your normal "bake and set" classes. They hope students like Kenneth Donato, take what they learn inside to lead better lives. "Just 3 months ago I was living under a bridge, now my wife and I we're living inside. I'm going to school, I work here, and help them out," said Donato.Directors for the nonprofit said out of their 300 apprentices, 85% landed jobs upon completion. Baking instructor Helen Coyne added, "I see so many opportunities in baking and pastry, and I'm so excited for them to have that." They say adding in a baking program means more students can sign up, in hopes more will get hired.The baking program is a free 20-week hands-on course for those who qualify. 1291
