A 36-year-old man who was suffering from chronic heart failure shocked doctors when he coughed up a blood clot closely resembling the bronchial tree in his right lung in late November.Georg Wieselthaler, a transplant and pulmonary surgeon at the University of California at San Francisco told the Atlantic: “We were astonished. It’s a curiosity you can’t imagine—I mean, this is very, very, very rare.”Per the New England Journal of Medicine, the man was an ICU patient at the University of San Francisco Medical Center being treated for end-stage heart failure.During the week of the patient's hospitalization, the man had periodic episodes of coughing, which progressed to one extreme coughing fit when he suddenly expelled the unusual clot. After being supplied oxygen via a tube, the man's coughing ceased two days later, leading to the removal of the tube. Unfortunately, even though the coughing ceased, his health took a turn for the worse.Despite the doctor's best efforts and the assistance of a ventrical device, the man died from heart failure a week later.The source of information in this article has been provided largely in part to an article in the New England Journal of Medicine. 1225

“If you keep your hand here long enough it feels like he’s breathing,” Alan Trujillo said, explaining the lifelike, battery-powered pet he was holding. It’s a toy he brings in for older adults, as part of his job with Home Instead.“We provide senior care for seniors in their home,” he said. “A lot of times the only person our senior will see is their caregiver.” Trujillo works as the recruitment and engagement coordinator for Home Instead in Whittier, California.Right now with COVID-19 concerns, interactions for seniors are limited, and all the more important.“They’re very aware that they are in that high majority group of people who don't survive this, so it does lead to a little depression,” Trujillo said. Depression these lifelike animals help combat.“Well before the pandemic we’ve been focused on this epidemic of loneliness and isolation which is really impacting seniors at an astronomical rate,” Ted Fischer, co-founder and CEO of Ageless Innovation, said. Ageless Innovation is the parent company of the Joy for All line of companion pets.“We currently have cats, dogs and kittens,” he said. “It's not about the technology, it's about the magic. It's about what the technology enables.”A study by the University of California, San Francisco in 2012 found that 43 percent of the surveyed older adults felt lonely. And that was long before the pandemic.Social isolation has also been associated with about a 50 percent increased risk of dementia, among other serious medical conditions, according to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine as cited by the CDC.It’s an issue that’s only been made worse by COVID-19.“All of these incredibly important protective measures that are put in place are further isolating older adults,” Fischer said. And these furry friends, designed with older adults in mind, bark, meow, and react to your attention just like real animals.“Pets in general have always helped seniors and most people get out of a funk. Coming home to that dog that’s just looking at you and wagging its tail, it’s hard to feel upset because that's unconditional love,” Catherine Baines-Sobczak, a licensed marriage family therapist with the HealthOne crisis assessment team, said.“Essentially it’s a perception of not feeling connected to other people, feeling unsupported or feeling that you’re misunderstood,” she said. She said beyond the online games, book clubs, and phone calls, animals provide something special.“With seniors it's difficult to find things to care for that give you that immediate reaction, so those pets...they do that,” she explained. “Having something to hold that’s tactile, that's soft, that may bring up memories of past pets they've had...that could help them feel less lonely.”Decreasing the sense of loneliness has other health benefits too.“Their memory is also impaired by loneliness, you don't have those outside triggers to remind you of things and to stay connected,” Baines-Sobczak said.As we find new ways to connect with our older loved ones without putting their health at risk, the demand for companion pets, which are sold online, continues to bloom.“I think like most skeptics, the second you see an older adult receive one of these, immediately name it and interact with it like they've had it forever, it’s magical. It really is,” Fischer said. 3346

“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) -- 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
