Sepsis. Bad stuff. Sepsis is when an infection, and occasionally other medical conditions, set off a cascade of out of control inflammation, damaging or destroying any number of organs and often leading to death. As I said, bad stuff. Sepsis, in all its manifestations, has been one of the mainstays of my practice. Sepsis can be transient and respond rapidly to antibiotics and modern ICU supportive care. It can also be a relentless crash and burn, a rapid and uncontrolled spiral into death. I have seen a few young meningococcal patients who were fine at breakfast and dead by dinner. Bad stuff. For whatever reason, patients have recently been made aware of sepsis. For the past few years, it has not been unusual to have been asked by families if the patient was septic. We have

CVE Number Description Base Score Reference CVE-2019-5924 Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Smart Forms 2.6.15 and earlier allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators via a specially crafted page. 8.8 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-5924 CVE-2019-6727 This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Foxit Reader.

Spencer Platt/Getty Images News CSX Corporation (NASDAQ:CSX) is about to report earnings, so I thought it’d be worthwhile to determine whether or not it makes sense to buy prior to earnings yet again. I did this previously, and it worked out very well, so I thought I’d see if I could have a repeat performance. I’m going to try to forecast the upcoming earnings by looking at the traffic figures to date, the elevated cost of rail transportation, and reviewing those against the performance in 2021. I’m going to take this forecast and then try to determine whether or not the share price is compelling. We’re all pressed for time. I’m sure you’ve got to get back to trying to crack frictionless travel or cold fusion or similar. I’ve been working on a particular Sudoku… Source link

Tether, the largest stablecoin by market cap, claims to have completely purged commercial paper from the reserve assets backing its USDT token, although it still won’t submit to an audit that might prove that claim. On October 13th, Tether issued a blog post in which the integrity-challenged firm claimed that as of October 12th it had “eliminated commercial paper from its reserves, replacing these investments with U.S. Treasury Bills (T-Bills).” Tether further claimed that “direct exposure” to T-bills “now makes up the majority of Tether’s reserves.” Commercial paper consists of unsecured promissory notes issued by large corporations seeking to plug short-term financial holes. These IOUs aren’t backed by anything other than the faith that the corporation in question… Source link

The United States has some of the cleanest air in the world, at least when it comes to actual dangerous smog, PM10 – particulate matter 10 microns in size. It is a clear killer, at one point leading to the deaths of over 10,000 in London during a weather anomaly that caused it to stay low. By the 1990s, PM10 had been drastically reduced in developed countries and air activists began to ‘define pollution down.’ If they want air quality maps to be red or orange they knew the solution was to target smaller particles, so they settled on PM2.5. At 25 percent the size of the known killer, there is four times as much of it. Virtually no place could always be green, so over 40 states in America with better quality than the remote forests of Siberia could still have clueless meteorologists… Source link

If anyone could give life advice on keeping it together, running a business, and raising two children amidst a little bit of drama, it would be Elizabeth Chambers. The 40-year-old founder of BIRD Bakery and on-air host and judge recently chatted with us to share how she stays centered and the beauty treatments she’s loving in her new home of the Cayman Islands. What is the number-one best piece of beauty advice you’ve ever received? Growing up, I had two very different types of grandmothers. My mother’s mother was very much a trailblazing, no-nonsense culinary entrepreneur. She was an extraordinarily talented self-taught baker, chef and business person, and she inspired me to create BIRD Bakery. My dad’s mother was more into beauty and fashion and spoke extensively with me at… Source link
