I normally ignore the ads...but uh...why us the kidney OVER THERE.

[one-time-i-dreamt]

I was donating a kidney to a man I’d never met. His children were very grateful and took me to an Italian restaurant.

Forever chemicals are falling in the rain, running through our waterways, and swimming in our bloodstreams, and now, initial research suggests these potentially harmful pollutants are 'clogging up' a crucial drainage system in our bodies. The new study indicates forever chemicals are impacting kidney health, with changes to the gut microbiome explaining at least some of the effects. Kidneys filter excess water and toxins out of the bloodstream, and forever chemicals are now circling these two 'drains' in a worrisome way. While evidence is currently limited, there is a chance that pollutants gathering in the kidneys are driving chronic disease, as well as cancer. In rodents, when some forever chemicals accumulate in the kidneys, the high concentrations lead to injury via oxidative stress.

I know it's a little out of place here, but I'm very proud of my drawing for General Pathology, and I had to show you.

It is a cut of a kidney seen from the inside and a nephron. I have another one that I did for Gynecological Pathology, but if I publish it they ban me XD.

ateş kuşları From episode 22 to 27

This feisty character is Kara. He will make you laugh sometimes and sad sometimes because of his story. His brothers left him for organ dealers when he was young. They stole his kidney and tortured him until his other kidney failed. He returns to take revenge on his brothers because they abandoned him, but he lives his last days refusing to accept any kidney transplant, but in the end he collapses and wakes up to discover that his older brother has donated his kidney to him, but he is angry because it was done without his permission. But it was his wife who allowed it.

If you want to be depressed by stories about violence, tragedies, and lies about Israel, there are many websites you can link to and email groups you can join.  But if you want the truth about the positive achievements of the only Jewish State, then Read It Here!

Right now, kidney failure treatments involve hours spent hooked up to a dialysis machine, or a donor transplant – which are scarce. But there's hope of a new option in the not-too-distant future: an artificial kidney implant. Scientists have developed a bioreactor device that uses human kidney cells cultured in the lab and mimics some of the key functions of a kidney. It's been successfully tested in pigs for a week with no obvious side effects or issues. The team, led by the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), is hopeful that their device can be adapted to include a broader range of kidney cell types and be paired with another instrument to filter waste from the blood.

2 months ago, I failed a class in medical school.

It was never something I imagined happening to me, especially because I’ve been anxious about tests before and would still end up scraping by. I figured my test anxiety this time around was no different and I could continue to ignore my mental health steadily declining over the month I took this class as I let stressors around me pile on and compound. I just wanted it all to be over.

Failing the class forced me to confront how I was ignoring things. It forced me to change how I studied, forced me to ask for help— from my school and from my friends, hell even from my parents whom I was afraid of letting down the most. And the healing process sucked— I would feel happy for a moment, only to have a fear in the back of my mind that it would be short lived and I’d be stuck feeling hopeless again. I was terrified I’d see a repeat of this unit in the last final of the year. It took me weeks to get back to a place where I felt mentally sound enough to get back into learning everything all over again, studying it like I’d never seen it before. It was easier once, when I reminded myself I deserved love and happiness, I finally started believing it.

Yesterday, I remediated the class with a makeup exam and passed it with flying colors. The quote is inspired from a line in my review book— “This too shall pass. Just like a kidney stone.”
