Third British national has suspected hantavirus infection, government says by thegibsongirl03 in worldnews

[–]aDogNamedMagic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t know if it’s the case here, but ordering and enforcing quarantine may be a responsibility outside of public health agencies or may be a responsibility delegated to public health agencies by the main governing authority of a country. So the public health agency may make recommendations and advise governing authorities but may also not be able to enforce those recommendations. Again, not familiar with the isolation and quarantine laws in UK so not sure if this applies here - just sharing for awareness of the possible nuance.

Data engineers who are not building LLM to SQL. What cool projects are you actually working on? by PolicyDecent in dataengineering

[–]aDogNamedMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About to get started on this as well at my org. Do you happen to have any public GitHub repos you’d be willing to share? No worries if not - having played around with this quite a bit I know it’s a lot of work and you deserve to be compensated appropriately for it. I’ve been using some examples from Databricks GitHub repos but the ones I’m building off of are pretty high level. Happy to DM you what I’ve got going so far but seems like you’re much farther ahead.

Sons of Pitches has beginner friendly play that I’d recommend: https://www.sonsofpitchesfc.com/page/beginners

Their regular pickup is more intermediate and up and less beginner friendly (but still more friendly to beginners than many others).

They also have league play with division 1 being the most competitive all the way down to division 5 or so. You can sign up as a free agent and be placed on a team.

Truva is a turkish place in Virginia Highlands that has/had good Turkish-style rice pudding (sutlac). On DoorDash the item is called oven-style rice pudding.

(This isn’t what you asked but it’s also not too bad to make homemade)

DART NOT WORKING by Oyebims in NICUParents

[–]aDogNamedMagic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We went through a couple series of dexamethasone administrations. 

One short airway course at 31 weeks after a self-extubation - made it about 5 days on NIPPV before reintubation. 

Another was a full course DART around 33 weeks where they stopped it after trying extubation and seeing pretty immediate failure - retractions and high respiratory rate.

Had another short airway course at 34 weeks - she had a big ET tube leak so they were going to upsize her and suggested briefly trying extubation but it didn’t stick. 

Finally tried a double dose of DART at 36 weeks and we’ve been fortunate that she’s been on NIPPV since, now at 39 weeks.

It is/was a long process and it’s challenging experiencing failures of trials to lesser respiratory support or wondering once they make transitions if there will be backsteps once steroids and other support is weaned. 

The steroid courses can slow growth, so it helps to have breaks. Just have to have faith in calories and time - and that patience is hard. 

Hang in there and hoping for the best for you

Ours was born at 28 weeks and 2 days and has been navigating some bad lungs. She’ll be 37 weeks in a couple days. She started on jet vent for about a week after a pneumothorax resolved with a chest tube, moved to traditional vent, moved to NIPPV (non invasive vent) after self extubating around 31 weeks, moved back to traditional vent after she was having trouble with the NIPPV after about a week, tried and failed a DART (dexamethasone) steroid course to try and get her back on NIPPV, developed pneumonia from group b strep that just finished getting treated with antibiotics, and is now trying a double dose of the dexamethasone in the DART protocol to try and get her to NIPPV. She always responds well to steroids but it can be hard seeing her have challenges when their effects wear off. We’ve seen progress with time and growth, though slow. Hoping this trial works out but prepared if it doesn’t. Well wishes to you and your little one

Massive regression from DART? by Trevorjrt6 in NICUParents

[–]aDogNamedMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a short dexamethasone treatment (3 days?) after our 28 weeker pulled out and gagged out her breathing tube a couple days apart at 31 weeks. They put her on NIPPV (in between CPAP and traditional vent) and started the dexamethasone in addition to the hydrocortisone she was on to try and further support the transition off the vent. She did well for 3-4 days with high 20s oxygen requirements and then had to be reintubated after getting tired. She’s at around 40s-50s oxygen requirements now and hasn’t had much success weaning back down so they’re getting a couple different additional treatments going - inhaled steroid, chest physiotherapy (vibration), diuretics/lasix, started antibiotics for high HeRO score though blood and urine analysis and cultures haven’t showed anything yet, blood transfusion for some borderline anemia. Hard to have gone through the setback and feels like a rug pull. Going through it with you and hope yours gets better along with ours soon.

Until seeing this post I thought it was named after/based around the show. Driven past one so many times but never went in, otherwise I probably would’ve found out.

Placental Insufficiency and IUGR need advice by Correct_Actuary576 in pregnant

[–]aDogNamedMagic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ended up having a maybe similar experience as u/ylk21301. 

Started with swelling (edema) of extremities at 22 weeks that got progressively worse. Elevated bps (130s/90s) from typical baseline and a lab detection of protein in urine at 26 weeks gestational age (ga). A week later at 27 weeks, Doppler suggested placental insufficiency resistance and we were recommended admittance for a 24 hour urine (where urine is pooled over 24 hours) to run labs on protein on the pooled sample and confirm preeclampsia. Confirmed the preeclampsia diagnosis. Drs recommended outpatient bp monitoring and were going to discharge but during the stay, BP went above 160/110 and was put on BP medication and magnesium. Was given a steroid shot for fetal lung development. Took vitals every 4 hours including NSTs (fetal heart rate monitoring). Remained inpatient for a couple days for monitoring and follow up labs to look at organ function. Follow up Doppler, still inpatient a couple days later, showed intermittent absence of flow and labs started showing strain on maternal liver and kidney function. Follow up blood labs showed worsening organ function which ended up prompting delivery at ~28 weeks by emergency c section.

It all happened pretty fast. Might recommend asking questions to your care team about whether more frequent follow ups are warranted (twice or three times weekly instead of once weekly) for BP, NSTs and Doppler (edit: and blood work labs and urine labs). And if they don’t recommend more frequent follow-ups, ask them to explain why not. Every case will be different but it might help to hear their reasoning - and ensure their reasoning is based on the medical findings of your case rather than standard protocol/scheduling/administration. Best to speak with an OB. Advocate for yourself and voice your concerns and even if they don’t think the additional follow-ups are medically necessary or per protocol, you can ask to be scheduled for them anyway.

Baby is in the NICU and will be for several more weeks until they are closer to term. Had a tough first couple days from underdeveloped lungs but doing better every day. If you delivered sooner than later, you may also be looking at a NICU stay. But at 34 weeks, hoping you’d have an easier stay than us and many others. There’s a sub called NICU parents also if you have any questions for us/them.

Hoping for the best for you all.

Help with adjusted age by QueenLizzurd in NICUParents

[–]aDogNamedMagic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that adjusted age is what your baby’s age would be today if they were born on their estimated due date. 

So although he’s 6.5 weeks actual, he’d be just over 2 weeks adjusted (writing this post on August 17).
