YUBA CITY, Calif. (AP) — A California man whose suicide attempt left his face disfigured had successful facial transplant surgery 18 months later, and the lead surgeon estimates his face should be "pristine" in as little as three years.Cameron Underwood, 26, of Yuba City, had the 25-hour operation that involved more than 100 medical staff in January. Less than a year later, Underwood can speak intelligibly. He is golfing and has even gone skydiving, The Sacramento Bee reported Friday.Underwood appeared Thursday at a news conference at New York City's NYU Langone Health center, where he smiled and thanked medical staffers and his family for giving him a second chance at life."There have been so many amazing advances in surgery. I'm living proof of that. But it only happens because of special people like Will and his family," Underwood said referring to Will Fisher, his organ donor.Before Underwood's 2016 suicide attempt, he was employed as a welder and machine worker in Yuba City, as told by family members in a story this month in People magazine.Underwood had struggled with depression since adolescence and shot himself after a day of drinking, disintegrating the bottom of his face.With just 18 months between the initial injury and the surgery, Underwood's procedure represented the shortest wait time for a face transplant in the U.S., said the lead surgeon, Dr. Eduardo Rodriguez."We're able to take advantage of the most advanced technological procedures that exist, and we can do a lot of computerized planning before we do the operation," Rodriguez said at Thursday's news conference.Rodriguez estimated about three to five years until his face is "pristine."Underwood's body has shown no signs of rejecting the transplanted face so far, Rodriguez said."There was no way we could have ever taken him back to a normal life without a face transplant," the surgeon said.Underwood still lives in California but must continue to travel monthly to New York City to see the surgeon.Fewer than 50 face transplants have been performed worldwide, and fewer than 10 total or near-total operations have been performed in the United States.___Information from: The Sacramento Bee, http://www.sacbee.com 2221

At 8 years old, the cat ended up at the Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter, or BARCS, and was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, which stopped her from being adoptable.Laura Cassiday with Chesapeake Cats and Dogs rescued her and got her thyroid under control, but she found multiple mammary masses during her spay, and things took another downward turn.But Walnut is a fighter and a survivor. She recently underwent a bilateral mastectomy to remove the cancer from her body and prevent it from spreading. She’s not out of the woods yet, and her cancer could always come back, which is why she’s looking for someone who understands what she’s been through."She takes an inexpensive (about a month) pill twice a day to keep her thyroid in check. She’ll eat it right out of her food, no issues! She is an affectionate lap cat and would love nothing more than cuddling the day away with you ... to go through so much and then receive a cancer diagnosis on top of it all would be devastating to almost anyone," Cassiday said. "Walnut has taken it in stride, appreciating every day and living her life to the fullest."Walnut is located in Baltimore and her adoption fee is waived to a fellow cancer survivor."She thinks it would be great to have a partner in life who understands her, so they can cheer each other on ... she’s already unstoppable — imagine how the two of you would be together!" Cassiday added.Cassiday said Walnut would be best as the only animal in her forever home and would do OK with older kids. To learn more about adopting Walnut, 1558

Yuma Sector Border Patrol and Homeland security said they found a cross-border tunnel near Yuma, Ariz.Authorities say the tunnel was found at an abandoned Kentucky Fried Chicken located in San Luis, Arizona. The KFC was owned by Yuma resident Ivan Lopez.MORE: Read the full criminal complaint against Ivan LopezOn Monday, Aug. 13, San Luis Police Department stopped Ivan Lopez for a vehicle violation. Authorities found 168 kilograms of hard narcotics in two tool boxes. Authorities found approximately 118 kilograms of meth, 6 kilograms of cocaine, 3 kilograms of fentanyl, 13 kilograms of white heroin and 6 kilograms of brown heroin. MORE: Read the full memo for detention, detailing the investigation of the Yuma tunnel"As a nation in the midst of an opioid crisis this is a very significant seizure," says special agent, Scott Brown with Homeland Security Investigations. The tool boxes were spotted being removed from the abandoned KFC.Documents show that Lopez purchased the restaurant in April for 0,000. HSI agents were able to obtain a search warrant for Lopez's restaurant and his home. The tunnel was 22 ft. and continued 590 ft. to its endpoint in Mexico. Authorities say the tunnel was 5 ft. tall and 3 ft. wide.  Scott says, "the tunnel entry point was found at a residential compound, accessed through a trapped door under a bed."At the  U.S. entry point, there was no mechanism to physically come up to the small opening. Scot says, authorities believe the narcotics were raised up by a rope, loaded into the toolbox and then taken out of the abandoned restaurant. This drug seizure was 1.2 million dollars street value in Yuma. Scott says, the further you get from the border the more that value increases. Officials are still accessing to see how long the tunnel had been in operation. Scott says they can safely say it's been a number of years. It is still unknown if construction began before or after Lopez purchased the KFC. Details are limited and it is still an active investigation. 2154

With over 160 vaccines in development, the race to defeat COVID-19 continues.A California company hopes to deliver its vaccine to your mailbox; one that is pain-free and doesn't require a needle and syringe."One of the things I wanted to do was make vaccines more patient-friendly, so they don't hurt and you're not afraid to take them," said Dr. Dan Henderson, a virologist and the CEO of Verndari, Inc.The biopharmaceutical company is based in Napa, California. Dr. Henderson originally came to the wine country to retire but stepped back into the lab during the Ebola crisis. He says some adults avoid vaccines because of a fear of needles, so Verndari set out to do something different. They created the VaxiPatch, a single-dose vaccination kit that uses a dermal patch with a metal microneedle array to deliver vaccines. Once applied, the person wears the patch like a Band-Aid for five minutes. The vaccine uses the COVID-19 "spike" protein that enables the virus to infect human cells and works to enhance a person's immune person.Unlike traditional vaccines, the patch doesn't need to be refrigerated, which Henderson says would make it easier and cheaper to send to developing countries. The company initially set out to make a flu vaccine but switched gears during the pandemic; they continue to adapt to the world's changing needs. "Now, for the First World, it's a shelter-in-place vaccine," said Henderson.They're working with the FDA to see if it could be mailed to your home. The vaccine would leave a temporary blue mark so the patient could take a photo and send it to their health care provider as proof of vaccination. In collaboration with the UC Davis, they've begun clinical trials in animals. Dr. Henderson says so far the results are promising.Other researchers are also working on getting a patch like this on people's arms.Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center have created a fingertip-sized skin patch that is also showing promising results in animal testing. Verndari hopes to test its vaccine in humans in the fall, and if all goes well, it could be made available to the public early next year. Dr. Henderson believes they could manufacture about 20 million doses a month. "It would mean a lot because it's important to me to make a contribution and a contribution like that, to me, is priceless." 2408
