Can we see more of Jeff and Toby also is Ben and Ej I’m the comic of not what are your headcanons for them??

Jeff and Toby have always been my favs since I was a kid, so you'll definitely be seeing more of them!

As for the comic, the whole thing is more of snippets and peeks into my interpretation of Creepypasta instead of a solid, sequential storyline, so not a whole lot is concrete, and I won't be posting a whole, fleshed out comic since it's very time consuming. I'm definitely sure Ben and EJ would show up though, especially during Jeff's directionless wanderings

Anyways, Woe! Headcanons be upon ye!

Eyeless Jack

Jack Nyras is a man just trying to survive after he had been left disabled and transformed from putting his trust in the wrong people. Even as the demon contorts and shapes it's host as if it were trying to fit itself it's host's own flesh, Jack remains conscious, all too aware of what is happening to him and the dizzying, maddening hunger that drives him forward

He's gone from a 5'6"-ish guy to a whole 6 foot something of a man after the incident. The demon disfigured and stretched his body to "make itself at home", though it isn't too obvious with his shitty posture and what he wears

He used to go to medschool and was about to graduate as a Valedictorian.

He carries a roll of surgical knives in his hoodie pocket! (My best friend gave me this idea :)))

Burn scars over his eyes! Hot tar does that to you ig, and it harmed him enough to last despite his new form's accelerated regeneration

He's still sane enough to have morals (or at least, he believes he's sane enough), so though he isn't exactly picky, he prefers kidneys since his victims would usually survive with only one, and he strikes at night when his "patients" are sleeping

He's good friends with Jeff (even if neither would admit it, ESPECIALLY not Jeff). They first started out as seeing each other as nothing more than "easy body disposal" and "free meal provider", but each time they bump into each other, they've began to get along past their perceived usefulness

BEN drowned

An angry, vindictive spirit that's been freed from the confines of where he had been sealed. Even still, he can't remember his own face, so despite his newfound freedom, he had taken the form of the model he had been using during his digital imprisonment to manifest. He now wanders the world, vengeful and curious, yearning for a peace he might never get.

His face is stuck between 2 expressions: the calm, neutral look of the elegy of emptiness (which is his usual), or a more expressive- albeit heavily distorted face- during moments of heightened emotion like anger, sadness, etc. Nothing changes from his expression, not even his mouth moves.

The latter is also a reference to how fans usually drew Ben, along with just... .EXE characters in general-

His clothes are always soggy :(

He can manipulate and change his physical form, but the binary scarred into on his calf stays no matter what he does, whether that be changing forms entirely or removing the limb from his "model", in which case the binary moves elsewhere.

Ben is telepathic. He can choose who can understand him at any given moment, whether it be a group, a pair, or a singular person. Everyone else outside of the conversation could hear only gargling, wheezing and coughing.

Avoids areas where water is usually found in large amounts. I.e, lakes, rivers, bathrooms, etc.

MY GIRLFRIEND (2)

(1)

Pairing: Choi Beomgyu x reader

Genre: Fluff, crack

Warning: Established relationship, cursing , idol! au, Hueningkai is referred to as only kai because I didn't know his spelling (lol), a brief mention of Yeonjun's gf

"Me and (y/n)'s going on a date this Saturday," Beomgyu announced, entering the room with eyes on his phone where he was probably texting his girlfriend.

"This Saturday? I thought we were all going out together to get ramen at the old shop again," Soobin chimed, looking up from his phone.

"Yeah," Yeonjun added, " we haven't been there in a while. You remember how we used to go there when we were trainees?"

"With sweat and bruises on my knees, yes, I do remember." Taehyun added, earning a few chuckles from the boy beside him.

"The owner invited us. Who knows, we might get a free meal," Kai resorted.

"We're not saying you should cancel the date but -," Yeonjun said and grinned," unless you wanna miss the heavenly ramen."

"No, it's okay," Beomgyu said, flopping beside Soobin," (y/n) would be mad if I cancelled with you guys. "

"Wouldn't she be more mad that you cancelled on the date?" Taehyun questioned, raising a brow. Beomgyu shook his head, picking up his phone to send you a text.

"No, actually, " he said, eyes on the phone and fingers typing, " She actually got more mad when I cancel on you guys. Says I should bond with my "boys" often. " He chuckled, mind wandering back to the moment.

"She's so sweet. Such an angel." Kai added, resting his head on Beomgyu's shoulder to peer at his phone.

"So you mean she doesn't get angry often?" Yeonjun asked, looking pretty surprised at the statement.

"No, she's really patient," Beomgyu smiled," she usually tolerates everything."

"Unlike you." Soobin snickered followed by the others.

"So, like, you guys don't argue? " Yeonjun questioned, now looking really shocked as if Beomgyu had suddenly asked for both of his kidneys, " Me and my girl argue over the smallest of things. She hasn't talked to me in 3 days and maybe I should apologize."

Beomgyu turned off his phone and looked at Yeonjun, " Me and my girl don't argue. She tells me to shut the fuck up and I do," he added, pointing his phone towards him.

"You never shut up when we tell you to," Soobin countered, "That's cause she's my girlfriend. She gets privileges, " He replied, getting up to walk out the door.

"Your corny. Get out of my sight. " Taehyun mocked, pushing Beomgyu out by the shoulder.

"I don't wanna be with singles like you people either. I'm gonna go face time with (y/n)!! " He exclaimed, shoving Taehyun off his shoulder.

"Tell (y/n) noona I said hi," Kai adds, peeking over Taehyun's shoulder.

"Get out already," Soobin shouted earning a glare from Beomgyu.

"Fine! I am going to my room," He shouted angrily, loud enough to wake up a person sleeping if there were any," don't you dare come in at midnight to snatch your charger or snacks or socks or I'm gonna lock you in the closet till morning, get it?!" His voice was still clear even though he was out of the room and was walking in the hallway.

"Goodnight, hyung!," Kai shouted from the door.

And from the other side of the room they could hear Beomgyu yell," I'm only wishing a goodnight to (y/n), rest of you can have nightmares!!"

And with that, a door slammed shut and laughter erupted in the room.

"Gosh, he's down so bad," Soobin laughed, slapping his hand on Yeonjun 's shoulder.

"He wouldn't survive a day without (y/n). " Taehyun said, shaking his head.

"We wouldn't survive a day without (y/n). Apparently, she's the only one who can keep his ego in check and make him shut up without having to stuff tissue papers into his mouth," Yeonjun concluded, the other nod.

"But, they look so happy," Huening smiled.

"Yeah, sure they do. Maybe I should also start shutting up when my girl tells me to," Yeonjun said, earning a laugh from everyone. Then they heard another laughter joining them from the other room.

"Only (y/n) can make Beomgyu laugh like that. "

CW: Same as before.

PREVIOUS CHAPTER: PROLOGUE 2

FUN FACT: You were just about to remove your unbelievable amount of jewelry and go to sleep when the dark carriage appeared in the middle of your room.

You didn't notice because you were busy tryna reach for your bangles but then you were suddenly yanked by the hair into the carriage where you quickly lost consciousness from the strong sleeping magic inside. That horse got no chill, wtf..

This is one of those times where you need to channel out your inner Belphegor.

Be loveably infuriatingly bratty and murderous at the same time.

Turns out, you were yanked by the hair and shoved into the carriage by that creepy looking horse because you were "chosen" by the dark mirror to attend their oh-so-prestigious college. (Move out the way Harry Potter, there's a new chosen one in town—)

So you decided to stress these fuckers into bringing you back to where their unhinged horse first took you.

You don't have to be a genius to know that if any of the brothers notice your disappearance, there can either be a war or a bloodbath. It's either one of those things or both of them.

So as you were freed and guided in front of the mirror by the bird-man who you've come to find out was the headmaster of this oh-so-grand college that you've never even heard of.. you side-eye the Mr. Boutta-sell-yo-kidneys guy that tried to take your bangles before you faced the mirror.

'...Hmm? Who's this?' You think, as you look at the person half-hiding behind the mirror.

They seemed to be quite nervous as they gave you a small wave, earning them a smile from you.

The headmaster seemed to be confused about them for a second but quickly remembered something as they called upon that person.

It seems that Yuu, quite a confusing name they've got also desires to be sent back to their home as they said they had responsibilities they must fulfill.

Nice.

Twinning with your problems fr.

It's like you two looked at each other and something just clicked.

Like, Omg we're both kidnapped by a school filled with hot men and forced to be their unpaid therapists, Slay gurly~ 💅🏼 sry it's your inner asmo talking.

You decide to let Yuu be the first to face the mirror so that they'll get home first.

Ah, aren't you so kind and patient?

You don't know anything about that mirror, so it's best that you let someone else have a go first to see if it's safe.

Sorry Yuu, we may have clicked but I don't know if I can trust any of you right now.

It's too risky.

If we ever meet again, I'll treat you to a meal in hell's kitchen as compensation.

Thank Belphie for my trust issues.

...

...Huh.. The place that Yuu belongs to "doesn't exist"?

What a strange response... This damn mirror better not give you the same words lest it wants to be melted out of existence via hellfire.

You can see the dudes behind y'all who turned out to be the housewardens of the dorms of this school start whispering to each other like some nosy aunties on a regular sunday morning.

You gave reassuring pats on Yuu's shoulder after they went back beside you, getting a shaky smile in return.

"I'm sure that it'll be okay.. Their dark carriage took you so it must have the capabilities to take you back, right?" You whispered to Yuu, trying to keep them from panicking as you notice their breaths starting to quicken.

"People in distress are prone to being exploited and manipulated by others. Breathe slowly and calm your mind." You lean closer to their ear, rubbing small circles on their back.

Panicking won't help anyone. You had to learn that from experience. Now you just want to make sure that Yuu doesn't have to.

You may be alright with using this new acquaintance of yours to verify the safety of the mirror, but you won't stand by and watch them expose their vulnerability to a group of people that haven't really made a show of good morals they might possess.

As the headmaster guy started going on a rant about how "tHiS hAvE nEvEr hApPenEd bEfoRe" you keep an eye on the five housewardens dudes, seeing as those guys were eyeing you and Yuu lmao💀 like they were looking at some weird... thing.

Except for the shady mf who's looking straight at you with his weird-ass smile.

Really giving you the impulse to sock him in the face again.

(Oh, and also that tablet that kept taking pictures of you thinking that they were slick when you can hear the click every time a pic was taken.)

The headmaster then guided you to the mirror, mumbling pleas for the reflective object to work properly.

"I... I seem to be unable to reach the place that you call home.."

The mirror spoke, troubled and seemingly confused.

Yuu peeks at your face, before paling and trying to get closer to comfort you the way that you did for them, only to full on try to tackle you when you bring out your staff to try and break the damned thing.

If you can't bring me home then maybe I can take your power and do it myself.

MEANWHILE...

"There are traces of what seems to be teleportation magic as well as a smidgen of sleeping magic mixed in, on center of MC's room."

Solomon stated, glancing at the people sitting around the big oval table inside Diavolo's castle.

If anyone else saw the attendance in this little meeting of theirs, they'd have a heart attack.

I mean, when will you ever see representatives of the celestial realm mingling with those of the devildom, the human world and the grim reaper in such a serious manner?

You'd think there's an intergalactic threat on the loose if you ever see their expressions..

But that's the thing.

You weren't there to see them.

That's the problem.

Someone or something took you away from them.

Those connected to you via pact can still feel your emotions and connections through your pact marks but nothing more.

At this rate, they worry that you're too far to reach because they couldn't get to you through their pacts. Where could you be?

The only reassurance they have that you're fine, is your candle in Thirteen's hands.

The last string of reason they have that is keeping them from drowning in their grief and anger.

The burning flame of your candle gave them comfort and fueled their determination to bring you back into their arms.

Don't worry MC, we'll bring you back.

No matter what it takes.

I see a lot of patient x therapist in sarumi but it's illegal, so I propose a much more interesting plot: Urologist!Yata x Patient!Fushimi.

Could Yata even handle being a urologist XD Maybe he initially started studying when someone suggested it as a way to deal with his girl issues, like hey maybe you’ll be less nervous around girls if you think of them only in clinical terms (this backfires though, Yata can now handle seeing a girl with her pants off but he only thinks about health things, and meanwhile women in low cut shirts still make him blush and stutter). Fushimi is also the type who definitely avoids doctors and normally would never see a specialist, he probably had to be forced into it. Like Fushimi works for a private detective force and due to his bad diet he has frequent health issues. At some point he’s dealing with significant issues going to the bathroom and having pain, all of which he’s blithely trying to ignore, until his boss Munakata makes him an appointment and gives him no choice but to either go to the doctor or be fired (and while Fushimi would love to be like good I quit he does need this job, because he’s not going groveling back to his parents for money and his bad personality makes it hard to be hired by anyone besides someone who is in their own way equally twisted).

Fushimi ends up in the urologist office all hunched and grumpy on the examination table, waiting for the doctor to show up. When Yata walks in Fushimi’s all ‘I thought I was seeing a doctor, not a shrimp who’s still in high school.’ Yata’s immediately like shut up I’m a med student in college asshole, and I’m totally capable of handling your problems. Fushimi finds it pretty funny that his doctor is being so foul mouthed, like does your school know you talk to patients like this. Yata stutters and quickly tries to move on, like can we just discuss your medical history. Fushimi’s much more relaxed now, he doesn’t particularly want to discuss any of his medical issues (mainly because he never goes to a doctor so he doesn’t actually know what most of those are) but he can at least have some fun with this. Poor Yata is having trouble keeping up, he’s doing his best but this guy keeps being such an asshole it’s hard to maintain a professional demeanor. He does manage to get some info from Fushimi about the problem and assumes it’s a urinary tract infection, he prescribes some medicine and is happy to get that jerk out of his office.

Except the medicine doesn’t work and Fushimi reluctantly shows back up at Yata’s office mocking him for being such a shitty student that he couldn’t fix the problem. Yata grumbles like well if you weren’t being such a jerk maybe I could have examined you properly. Fushimi’s like you’re shirking your duty Misaki, Yata covers his name badge with a hand all that’s doctor Yata you bastard. Yata threatens Fushimi with a rectal exam and Fushimi’s like oh are you that interested in me. For the first time in a long while Yata gets all red, he thought he’d gotten over being embarrassed about doing this kind of thing but Fushimi just keeps throwing him off balance. He does need to do some examinations that require Fushimi to take his pants off though and it’s suddenly so awkward, like normally Yata always sees this as just medicine but now for the first time he feels like he’s really looking at another guy’s dick and he’s flustered.

It eventually turns out that Fushimi has like kidney stones, Yata can remove them but of course this requires more of Fushimi lying down with no pants on. Yata manages to fumble his way through the whole thing and afterward he’s trying to be professional again, discussing diet and such, and that’s when he finds out that Fushimi eats like a four year old. Yata starts lecturing him on proper nutrition and Fushimi clicks his tongue all ‘don’t want to,’ without even thinking Yata slips out a ‘if I have to I’ll go over to your place and make you healthy meals myself.’ Fushimi responds with ‘fine, come over then,’ intending to say it in mocking tones but it just comes out as a blunt acceptance of Yata’s inadvertent invitation. The two of them stare at each other, both thinking they should take that back but of course neither one is willing to swallow their pride and go back on those words, so Yata’s like ‘o-okay…where do you live?’. After Fushimi leaves Yata’s immediately freaking out like did I just ask that total jerk out on a date, and meanwhile Fushimi is outside the office all irritated at himself and thinking about how stupid he is, why would he want that shrimp to come over and make him dinner. He tells himself well maybe I can just tease him and it will be entertaining, not willing to in any way think further on why for once he’s actually showing interest in another person.

The Mediterranean diet contains nutrients that are known to enhance longevity and has other health benefits that are backed by peer-reviewed, scientific studies. Broccoli is one of nature's most nutrient-dense foods, with only 30 calories per cup and contains fibre and polyphenols — antioxidants that detoxify cell-damaging chemicals in your bodying.

A Spanish study found a Mediterranean diet supplemented with extra-virgin olive oil reduced the incidence of major cardiovascular events among patients with a history of heart disease.

Quinoa contains a good dose of protein to help build muscle. Yet including any type of whole grain in your diet — from barley to brown rice — will aid in weight loss by filling you up for fewer calories.

Blueberries is a kind of superfood because studies have shown they aid in everything from fighting cancer to lowering cholesterol. But all berries, including raspberries, strawberries and blackberries, contain antioxidants and phytonutrients.

Studies show that eating a handful of nuts several times a week can prevent heart disease and ultimately help you shed pounds since they fill you up and stop you from snacking on other things. Almonds, in particular, contain lots of monounsaturated fats and fibre.

Salmon is also a good source of lean protein. With this diet, doctors suggest eating fish at least two times a week. Salmon provides a high dose of omega-3 fatty acids, which studies show significantly lower the risk of heart disease. Omega-3 fatty acids fight back by reducing inflammation and slowing the rate of plaque buildup in blood vessels.

Black, kidney, white and garbanzo beans (also known as chickpeas) are good for fibre and protein. They fill you up and provide muscle-building material without any of the fat that meat can add to your meal.

Eating a breakfast high in protein is a good way to keep hunger at bay throughout the day. Eggs are full of choline, a nutrient that helps block fat from being absorbed in the liver. Choline may also help in preventing memory loss.

Spinach is a great source of iron, which is a key component in red blood cells that fuel our muscles with oxygen for energy. But researchers in Sweden identified another way in which these greens might keep you charged: Compounds found in spinach actually increase the efficiency of our mitochondria, the energy-producing factories inside our cells.

Walnuts are packed with tryptophan, an amino acid your body needs to create serotonin. They're digested slowly which contributes to mood stability and can help you tolerate stress.

Asparagus is one of the best sources of folate, a B vitamin that could help keep you out of a mental slump. Folate is important for the synthesis of the neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine; all of these are crucial for mood.

[deadmomjokes]

oh wow I am so sorry to hear about your daughter having EOE - that sounds really rough. How do you navigate that?

At this point, with a lot of flailing.

It took 3.5 years to even get her properly diagnosed, not through lack of trying-- it's just a hard thing to differentiate, and the specialists that can actually do the test are dealing with a huge number of patients so they're always backed up. We're lucky: we live only an hour from the state children's hospital where they can do the diagnostic procedures, and it has a dedicated EOE specialty clinic that's one of the best in the country. It still takes 2 months to get an appointment as an established patient, and it took even longer to get her in on the initial referral. We're also lucky that she was able to explain to us what she was experiencing in a way that a doctor could take seriously and act on, and we're lucky that her primary care doctor did so.

But generally speaking, things suck spectacularly for pediatric EOE and GERD patients right now, at least in the US. The best medicine for treating it is omeprazole (prilosec), and there was exactly one manufacturer that made it in a suspension that small children could take. Well, that manufacturer decided it wasn't profitable enough, so they quit making it altogether. So now the next best, lansoprazole (prevacid), is on national back order for months because every child that was on the other one is now needing to switch.

So my daughter is currently on the next next best thing, because it was that or nothing, and it's just not working great for her. It keeps her from the worst of the pain, but she's back to not wanting to eat anything but bagels, one specific brand of cereal, and string cheese.

Back when she was officially diagnosed, her doctor gave us the option of going on a super dose of PPI meds, jumping straight to the steroids, or doing a full elimination diet with a nutritionist. For a kid, none of those options are great.

The PPIs reduce absorption of nutrients, which are already few and far between for a growing person with only a few tolerated foods. The steroids may have effects on a growing liver and kidneys, and also make you more prone to fungal infections and upper respiratory illnesses. Both have to be routinely dose-adjusted because the child is growing constantly, but you have to get an official weight/height check at the specialist to do so, which is always backed up. Then the elimination diet is...well, it's hard, to put it mildly, and it takes a really long time because of how delayed the reactions can be. Plus when you already don't like eating and only have a few 'safe foods', it's hard to cut back. Most people with EOE also have more than one trigger, so you have to eliminate a ton of things and hope you get them all, and you can't be on any medication while you're doing it because you have to be able to identify the point at which symptoms get better and then return.

In short, all the options suck.

We eventually decided on trying to get it under control enough with the meds to hopefully expand the foods she was willing to eat, in preparation for doing the elimination diet. It was working. Then the forced medication switch blew that all up. So we're just gonna grit our teeth and go with the elimination diet unless her specialist has another option for us.

But aside from that, it's been a lot of phone tag and appointment waiting, and a lot of readjusting the way we look at food and eating.

For her, whatever she will eat is a win. We've taken pressure off her to try new things. We still offer it, but we don't press if she's not feeling up to it. Reducing stress around the concept of trying new foods is super important, because she's already up against the stress of wondering whether it'll 'get stuck' or feel yucky or make 'the fires' worse.

We've also had to make sure we don't fall into the trap of trying to dictate how much she eats and when. Unless a meal is coming within the half hour, we let her have a snack when she's hungry-- wait too long, and she's in pain. Plus we want her to kind of train herself to respond to those hunger cues because her appetite can get so drastically reduced at times, every instance of her listening to an 'I'm hungry' is a win.

We also had to abandon the idea of the 'perfectly' balanced diet. Proteins are a struggle for her. Leafy greens are a struggle. So are other calcium containing foods like dairy and dairy alternatives. She really only likes carbs, mostly bread and fruit. But it's not like she can help it. Nobody purposefully restricts their diet just to be difficult-- a "picky eater" is someone who is struggling and needs accommodation, not judgement.

So we let her eat what she will eat, and work to find options that can get her the stuff she needs. Protein bars are a big hit with her right now, for example. A better texture than meat, they come in 'treat' flavors, and there are options that don't have all the added sugar that's gonna trigger the acid flareup. We make sure we get enriched flour and bread products so she gets at least some iron. We pick varieties that have added protein and calcium. We get juice with added vitamins and minerals. We stock the pantry with things that cater to her capabilities and needs wherever the two overlap. The goal is nutrition, whatever form that takes and whatever it looks like right now. Getting it "right" will come later. For now, we just need her to be comfortable with food and to learn how to work with her body.

This has also meant teaching her about nutrition, so we can help her take charge of her body's needs and help us think of ways to meet them. That's hard for a 3 year old, but there's a show called Storybots on Netflix, and they have a great episode on nutrition called "Why can't I eat dessert all the time?" Super accessible for kids, and has a catchy song describing macronutrient categories and why we need lots of different kinds of food, not just one kind. It was a perfect starting point, and we just kept at the explanations. Like when we would eat an apple with breakfast, we'd talk about how it has Vitamin C to help her cells be strong, fiber to help her tummy and intestines work well, and carbohydrates to help her have energy. Every time we try a new food, we talk about what's in it to help her body. That includes things like chips and cake--we're big on the concept of "all food has value, it's just some has more than others, so we eat the most of those."

So now, when she's had a "just bread" day we remind her that her body needs more than just carbs, and we can't get all our protein, fats, vitamins, and minerals from bread, so we should probably have something else too. 9 times out of 10, she'll add something to her request, like some blueberries or carrots. She might not eat a ton of it, but she tries, and that's what counts.

I know this is a mile long and probably way more than you were asking, but it's just one of those things that I have a lot to say about. I could talk all day about accessible eating and nutrition, as well as Going Off on our current medical system in the US, so if anyone has further questions, feel free to reach out.

[anger-anon]

I absolutely want to see them

Okay! Okay I gottem! I gottem! Alright, alright, check it!

*he pulls out 3 very high definition photographs, the horrific sights depicted on them enough to make one’s stomach churn*

These ones are my- my favorite ones! I have like, a ttonn more of em but it’d take like, fooreverr to show you guys all of them!

*he taps on the first one*

Okay, okay, this- this is my first evver serious one! Like, I’d done bad things to my patients before but I never properly like, kidnapped them or anything!! Anyways, I like, kept him alive like this for- for months!! 

*the image depicted a completely nude ‘man’ in a practically pitch black room, only illuminated by the flash of a camera. His eyes were milky and unseeing, violently red around the edges and brimming with tears, staring straight into the camera lens. Upon closer inspection, one could see the scars above his eyes where his eyelids had been cut off. His mouth was held unnaturally wide by bulky medical equipment, the divots in his gums where teeth should be bleeding profusely , his lack of tongue evident as the wound gushed blood. His face was smushed into the ground as he had no arms to keep such from happening, his legs tied together by a long strand of rope.*

I’d- ha! I’d make him use ‘echolocation’ to- to find his meals! It was fuckin hilarious seeing him squirm around on the floor, screaming like- like a total idiot to find his next meal!

*💢 bursts into giggles for a moment before pointing to the next picture*

This one- oh! I didn’t - didn’t even plan on doing this one! Was supposed to be just- just a kidney transplant! But she was such a bitch to me the whole f-fuckin time! And you know the saying ‘kill them with kindness’? Well I decided to take that to heart for once! 

*The photograph depicted a woman propped up against the wall with a gaping hole in her gut, her innards and an uncomfortable amount of kidneys spilling out of it. Her eyes were rolled up back into the back of her head and her cheeks were a sickly green, her entire front coated in vomit and blood.*

47 kidneys. That’s - that’s how many I managed to stuff in her before like, her stitches popped and it all came spilling out of her! It was - oh it was just so mmuch fun! She’s where I got my passion for like, being so generous and helpful from! Ha!

And- and last but not least!

*He held out the final photograph, and it might’ve been the worst one yet. A woman stood in the middle of a room, well, not really ‘stood’ considering she had no legs, more like held up by 4 metallic poles that stabbed into her legless torso. She had no arms either, just a stick jabbed into one of the bloody wounds where an arm should be. Her mouth was stitched shut and her head was shaved, hot spiking wires peaked from her various wounds, and most prominent was the large hole in her chest, in which the display of a slot machine was. At the bottom of the photograph there was a message, scribbled in angry red pen was the words ‘happy fucking 2 year anniversary’*

Poor little miss Amber Marrie! Couldn’t keep her hands off- her hands off of my ‘boyfriend’! Lluckily for her, I was never the jealous type! So I helped her become the ppperfect girl for him! Aren’t I just the kindest gal you’ve ever met?

The best- the best part? She was completely rigged! Each- each slide thing had- had completely different drawings on it! There was no way to win her!!!

*💢 bursts into laughter, unable to stop as xe doubles over. His manic laughter quickly turning into a coughing fit, the pictures spilling from his hands and onto the floor as he beat his chest with his fist*

Dear Dad,

Remember that flu season back in ’32? When it felt like you were gone every night jumping to every single household with a kid in it because everyone all got sick all at once? And how it was after mom died but you decided that I was old enough to stay home alone, only for you to come back on that Tuesday to find me throwing up my guts all over the floor?

Good times. Terrible times, actually, but despite my pacifistic tendencies, I’d fucking kill to go through that again than the fresh hell that is my current hell. I nearly wrote you this letter from the latrines, which is terrible on multiple levels, especially considering I was actually looking forward to write to you this time.

I’ve said before that one of these days I’m finally going to snap, and even though I’m still in one piece, I’m not convinced that it’s an uncracked one. Eleven days. Eleven straight days of liver of fish, making our own damn never ending season of seafood up in Maine truly dwarf in size. Eleven straight days and I’m half convinced that each subsequent day was just the previous one’s leftovers! The fact that they’re serving us kidney at all blows my fucking mind, and over a week and a half of it for every meal has me half convinced that I’ve dreamt it all up.

They don’t tell you about how every grueling day feels like a dream, same motions, same food, same jokes, just different supporting actors underneath my scalpel. 

On the seventh day God rested, and on the eleventh day Hawkeye Pierce fucking cracked. Like I said, there’s only so many days where a man can eat liver of fish. Trap and I made this ridiculous plan—honestly, dad, I didn’t think about it working or not. I just needed something to break up the monotony. Anything. ANYTHING.

You know the place in Chicago I told you about however many years ago? The one that had the best barbequed ribs in the entire country? Couldn’t remember the name at first, but it’s Adam’s Ribs. 

Adam’s Goddamn Ribs.

A couple of pulled strings and a hell of a lot of favors somehow managed to bring us back to Chicago. Or I guess Chicago to us. It doesn’t matter- the only thing that mattered is that we somehow fucking managed to get Adam’s Ribs in the worst corner of all of Korea and Igor cooked them up and hell dad, they were the best damn things I think I’ve ever smelled in my life. 

Course, ambulances poured in the second I had my hands on them, but it made for a hell of an OR session. That’s how they should be teaching speed for MASH surgeons. Nevermind the live rounds and constant shelling, just put the idea of tantalizing, edible food on a stick right above a surgeon and you’d get the fastest cutters in the West. East.

But, oh father, I know what you’re thinking now: why the reminder of the great flu season of 1932 when so far the only thing your dear child has spoken about has been spare ribs from the great state of Illinois?

Here’s where the story gets good. And by good, I mean fucking terrible.

Great OR session, by the way. Took out enough shrapnel out of intestines to build a full new bomb, and not a single patient lost. Igor reheated the ribs for me and Trap and we had what could only be described as the greatest midnight snack in the history of the entire war. Or not just in the war, but in the history of the entire world. We headed back to our bunks more full than after a Thanksgiving spread, and not even Frank’s sniveling could change a thing.

That is before a solid and conscience five minutes had passed.

Five minutes. Five lousy minutes of euphoria that just nearly made me forget about the terrible place that I’d been forced into. And then I spent the next hour and a half, throwing up every single bit of edible food. Made the worst flu pale in comparison, I’ll tell you that much. Couldn’t even make it to the latrine the first time, and I think I scared the wits outta Trapper since it probably sounded like I was vomiting up my organs right outside his side of the tent. 

He’s a good man, Trap. Picked me up off the ground like you would’ve and helped me stumble to the latrines where I could continue throwing up every bit of goodness that I had managed to make for myself in this camp. Practically held my hair back like I was his girl, believe it or not. 

I’m writing this letter from post-op, you know. Trap’s got himself convinced that I managed to get food poisoning from the long trip that the ribs made in order to get from us. Not sure how he’s reached that conclusion given that he has exactly zero symptoms, but hell, I’m not volunteering any other explanations to him.

Between you and me, I think I’ve become a bit of a cuckoo, if you can read between the lines there. 

I mean, what sane person would practically stage a mutiny just to get food from a specific restaurant that he couldn’t even remember the name of in the first place? If Henry was just 2% more done with my shit, he could’ve gotten me in real trouble. Hell, if Henry was any other CO, I’d probably be on trial with a death sentence looming over my head for the shit I pulled just to get the first real food I’d have since stepping foot on that plane. 

All that just to throw it up a few minutes later. I may not have snapped quite yet, but I’m cracking, dad. 

I hope next flu season is kind to you up there.

Love, Hawkeye

How does Ratchet React to People (Especially Drift) Calling him floofy?

ALSO I love that your Ratchet is the embodiment of Kind caring medic but will absolutely shoot a bitch if someone messes with his patients or family

Drift doesn't call Ratchet fluffy though :'3

It's usually Doc, Ron or occasionally Higuma (Bear, specifically the Ussuri Brown species due to Ratch's brown salt/pepper hair. This is as close as he'll get to a nickname like 'fluffy')

Ratch would probably be a bit baffled by anyone calling him fluffy like sure, it's cute! But boy he's just come off a 72hr shift, his last three meals have been Count Chocula cereal bars and coffee, the bags under his eyes can carry groceries and he ain'f feelin' cute but he appreciates the thought? He thinks???

Man classifies himself as a Battlefield Medic for a reason! And he will weaponise scalpels and kidney dishes to do damage if you fucking try him and get within striking range!

Ozempic (semaglutide) has generated significant attention for its ability to manage blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes, its weight-loss effects, and its potential impact on kidney health. People with diabetes are at an increased risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD), making the relationship between diabetes medications like Ozempic and kidney health particularly important. Understanding Ozempic’s effects on kidney disease, its dosing recommendations, side effects, and its potential for CKD management offers insights into its benefits and concerns for individuals at various stages of CKD, including Ozempic in dialysis patients and those with chronic kidney conditions.

What Is Ozempic Used For?

Ozempic is a prescription medication primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in adults with this condition. It belongs to a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists.

Ozempic is primarily prescribed to help lower blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. It is intended to be used alongside lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise. The medication works by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin when blood sugar levels are elevated, reducing the liver’s glucose production, and slowing gastric emptying, which helps control post-meal blood sugar spikes.

Ozempic is also approved to lower the risk of serious cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes, in individuals with type 2 diabetes who have existing heart disease. This dual action makes it particularly beneficial for patients at higher risk of cardiovascular complications.

While not officially approved by the FDA for weight loss, Ozempic has shown effectiveness in promoting weight loss in clinical studies. Patients using Ozempic experienced significant weight reduction compared to placebo groups. However, it is important to note that its primary indication remains diabetes management, and it should not be used solely for weight loss

Is Ozempic Helpful for Kidney Disease?

Ozempic (semaglutide) has recently gained attention for its potential benefits in kidney health, particularly among individuals with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Research indicates that this medication can significantly reduce the risk of severe kidney-related complications and improve overall kidney function.

A major clinical trial demonstrated that semaglutide reduced the risk of severe kidney events by 24%. This includes significant loss of kidney function, the need for dialysis, or kidney transplantation. The study involved over 3,500 participants and found that those receiving semaglutide experienced fewer major kidney-related events than those on a placebo.

Participants treated with Ozempic showed a slower decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), which is a key indicator of kidney function. This suggests that semaglutide may help preserve kidney health over time, particularly in patients with pre-existing conditions.

The medication not only aids in managing blood sugar levels but also lowers the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes, by about 18%. This is particularly important since diabetes and CKD are closely linked to cardiovascular issues.

The same studies indicated a 20% reduction in the risk of death from any cause among those treated with semaglutide. This underscores the broader health benefits that Ozempic may provide beyond just diabetes management.

Ozempic have also been associated with weight loss, which can relieve stress on the kidneys. Reducing obesity-related inflammation may further protect kidney health, making it beneficial for patients with both obesity and CKD.

Based on a Reddit user’s experience, their endocrinologist and nephrologist shared that Ozempic is considered a kidney-protective medication. They explained it could improve lab results in two ways: first, by promoting weight loss, and second, by reducing cravings for foods that can harm kidney health. The user reported positive outcomes, mentioning a weight loss of 14 pounds in five weeks and feeling better than they had in years.

Ozempic and eGFR Cut Off

In the FLOW trial, semaglutide demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in the decline of eGFR compared to placebo. The mean annual decline in eGFR was reported as -2.19 mL/min/1.73 m²/year for those receiving semaglutide versus -3.36 mL/min/1.73 m²/year for the placebo group, indicating meaningful preservation of kidney function in patients treated with semaglutide.

The trial found that semaglutide reduced the risk of major kidney-related events by 24%. This includes outcomes such as the onset of kidney failure, a 50% reduction in eGFR, or death from kidney-related or cardiovascular causes.

The FLOW study enrolled over 3,500 patients with CKD and type 2 diabetes, with a high percentage classified as high-risk according to KDIGO criteria. Most participants were already receiving standard treatments for CKD, including RAAS blockers and SGLT2 inhibitors.

While the specific Ozempic eGFR cut off level is not explicitly detailed in the search results, general guidelines for managing diabetes medications in patients with CKD suggest:

eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m²: Generally safe for most diabetes medications, including Ozempic.

eGFR 45-59 mL/min/1.73 m²: Caution is advised; monitoring renal function is essential.

eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m²: Use of Ozempic is typically not recommended due to increased risks of adverse effects and reduced efficacy in this population

Ozempic Renal Dosing for Patients with CKD

Ozempic (semaglutide) dosing for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires careful consideration, especially since kidney function can affect the pharmacokinetics of medications. Here’s a detailed overview of dosing guidelines and considerations for Ozempic in patients with CKD.

For all patients, including those with CKD, Ozempic should be initiated at a dose of 0.25 mg subcutaneously once weekly for the first four weeks. This initial dose is primarily for treatment initiation and is not effective for glycemic control.

After the initial four weeks, the dose can be increased to 0.5 mg once weekly. If additional glycemic control is needed after at least four weeks on this dose, it may be further increased to 1 mg once weekly. The maximum recommended dosage is 2 mg once weekly, which can be considered if more control is required after at least four weeks on the 1 mg dose.

Ozempic can be administered at any time of day, with or without meals, but should be given on the same day each week. If a dose is missed, it can be administered within five days; otherwise, the next scheduled dose should be taken.

Considerations for CKD Patients

While specific dosing adjustments for eGFR levels are not explicitly outlined in the prescribing information, it is essential to monitor renal function regularly in patients with CKD. The general recommendation is to use caution when prescribing Ozempic in patients with eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m².

Clinical studies have shown that semaglutide is generally well-tolerated in patients with CKD; however, careful monitoring for side effects such as gastrointestinal issues is necessary, especially during dose escalation.

Recent evidence suggests that Ozempic may help slow the progression of kidney disease and reduce the risk of severe kidney-related events, making it a valuable option for managing diabetes in patients with CKD

Ozempic Side Effects

Ozempic (semaglutide) is associated with a range of side effects, which can be categorized into common and serious types.

Common Side Effects

Gastrointestinal Issues: The most prevalent side effects include:

Nausea (15-20% of users)

Vomiting (5-9%)

Diarrhea (8%)

Stomach pain (6-7%)

Constipation (3-7%)

These gastrointestinal symptoms are often mild to moderate and tend to diminish over time, particularly if the dosage is increased gradually. Strategies such as eating smaller meals and avoiding greasy foods can help manage these effects.

Serious Side Effects

Pancreatitis: Symptoms include severe abdominal pain that may radiate to the back, nausea, and vomiting. Immediate medical attention is necessary if these occur.

Thyroid Tumors: There is a risk of medullary thyroid carcinoma; signs include a lump in the neck, difficulty swallowing, or hoarseness.

Kidney Damage: Symptoms may involve reduced urination, swelling, or fatigue. Dehydration from gastrointestinal side effects can exacerbate this risk.

Severe Allergic Reactions: Symptoms can include swelling of the face or throat and difficulty breathing. Seek emergency help if these occur.

Vision Changes: Users may experience blurry vision, particularly those with diabetic retinopathy

Is Kidney Damage from Ozempic Reversible?

Ozempic (semaglutide) has shown promising results in reducing the risk of kidney complications in patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Recent studies indicate that Ozempic can significantly slow the decline of kidney function and lower the risk of severe kidney-related events, such as kidney failure and death from cardiovascular causes.

Reversibility of Kidney Damage

Kidney Function Preservation: While Ozempic does not reverse existing kidney damage, it has been shown to slow the progression of kidney disease. In a major clinical trial, participants receiving semaglutide experienced a 24% reduction in major kidney events compared to those on placebo. This suggests that while it may not restore kidney function, it can help maintain current levels and prevent further deterioration.

Potential for Improved Outcomes: The medication’s ability to lower blood sugar levels, reduce weight, and improve cardiovascular health contributes to better overall kidney health. By addressing multiple risk factors associated with CKD, Ozempic may help patients avoid more severe complications that could lead to irreversible damage.

Clinical Implications

The findings highlight the importance of early intervention in diabetic patients at risk for kidney disease. Although Ozempic may not reverse damage already done, its role in preventing further decline offers a significant benefit for managing CKD in diabetic populations. Ongoing research will continue to clarify its long-term effects and optimal use in clinical practice.

Ozempic and Weight Loss in CKD Patients

Ozempic weight loss has gained attention in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly those with type 2 diabetes. Although not specifically FDA-approved for weight management, clinical trials have demonstrated significant weight reduction associated with its use. In studies, participants using Ozempic lost an average of 2.6 kg to 3.5 kg more than those on placebo after approximately 30 weeks of treatment.

Ozempic functions by mimicking the hormone GLP-1, which plays a crucial role in appetite regulation. It suppresses appetite and slows gastric emptying, leading to increased satiety and reduced food intake. This mechanism can be particularly beneficial for CKD patients, as weight loss may alleviate stress on the kidneys and improve overall health outcomes.

Additionally, recent studies have shown that semaglutide is associated with a 24% reduction in kidney-related complications, such as kidney failure and cardiovascular events. This dual benefit makes Ozempic a valuable option for managing diabetes while supporting kidney health. However, it is essential for healthcare providers to closely monitor patients for potential side effects and interactions with other medications, ensuring a tailored approach to treatment that considers individual patient needs and conditions.

When Will Ozempic Be Approved for CKD?

Ozempic (semaglutide) is currently undergoing evaluation for potential approval in the treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with type 2 diabetes. Recent studies have demonstrated that Ozempic significantly reduces the risk of severe kidney complications, heart issues, and mortality among this high-risk population. Following promising results from a major clinical trial involving over 3,500 participants, Novo Nordisk announced plans to petition the FDA for an expanded label in 2024 to include these benefits for CKD patients.

The trial found that semaglutide led to a 24% reduction in major kidney-related events, such as the need for dialysis or significant loss of kidney function. Given these findings, experts are optimistic about the potential impact of Ozempic on kidney health management. As of now, the timeline for formal approval is set for sometime in 2024, pending the completion of regulatory processes and evaluations by health authorities.

Ozempic for Different Stages of CKD

The use of Ozempic varies based on the stage of CKD, as patients at different stages of the disease have different therapeutic needs and potential risks. Below is an overview of Ozempic’s role in various CKD stages:

Early CKD Stages (1–2)- Patients in early stages of CKD with diabetes may benefit from Ozempic, as it helps manage blood sugar and supports weight loss, both of which are crucial in early CKD management.

Moderate CKD Stages (3)- Ozempic may be prescribed with caution in stage 3 CKD patients. At this stage, monitoring eGFR and kidney function is essential, and Ozempic’s weight-loss effect can help ease some cardiovascular strain.

Advanced CKD Stages (4)- Ozempic’s role becomes more complex in stage 4 CKD. While weight management remains important, the risk of side effects is higher, and careful monitoring is essential.

End-Stage CKD and Dialysis (5)- Ozempic is rarely used in stage 5 CKD or in dialysis patients due to limited evidence of safety and efficacy. Most healthcare providers avoid Ozempic in these cases and may suggest other therapies more suited to the unique needs of dialysis patients.

What Weight Loss Drug is Good for Kidneys?

For people with kidney concerns, the choice of weight loss drugs can be particularly important due to the kidneys’ role in filtering medications. Some medications may strain kidney function, while others may be safer or even beneficial. Currently, these weight-loss drugs are often discussed in relation to kidney health:

GLP-1 Receptor Agonists

Drugs like semaglutide (found in Ozempic, Wegovy) and liraglutide (Saxenda) are GLP-1 receptor agonists, originally developed for type 2 diabetes but also approved for weight loss. Some research shows that GLP-1 agonists may have protective effects on the kidneys by reducing inflammation and improving blood sugar control. They may reduce the progression of diabetic kidney disease in people with diabetes, making them a promising option for kidney health, particularly in early kidney disease stages.

SGLT2 Inhibitors

Although primarily a diabetes medication, SGLT2 inhibitors like empagliflozin and canagliflozin have been shown to slow the progression of kidney disease. They promote glucose excretion through urine, reducing blood glucose and possibly lowering the kidney’s filtration workload. While not typically prescribed for weight loss, they may result in some weight reduction.

Orlistat (Xenical, Alli)

Orlistat works by reducing fat absorption from the diet, making it a suitable option for those with kidney concerns as it has minimal systemic absorption and is mostly excreted via the gastrointestinal tract. However, it can cause digestive side effects, so it’s best for those without gastrointestinal sensitivity.

Non-Pharmacologic Alternatives

For individuals with advanced kidney disease, non-pharmacologic approaches, including dietary changes, supervised exercise, and behavioral therapy, may be advised over medications.

Is Ozempic the Right Choice for CKD Patients?

Ozempic (semaglutide) is emerging as a promising treatment option for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly those with type 2 diabetes. Recent studies indicate that semaglutide significantly reduces the risk of severe kidney complications, heart issues, and mortality in this population. In clinical trials involving over 3,500 participants, semaglutide was associated with a 24% lower risk of major kidney disease events, such as the need for dialysis or kidney transplants, compared to placebo groups.

It helps slow the decline in kidney function and lowers blood pressure, further enhancing its appeal for CKD patients. However, while these findings are encouraging, it’s essential to consider individual patient circumstances and consult healthcare providers to determine if Ozempic is the right choice for managing their condition effectively

Where to Buy Ozempic

Ozempic has shown promise in managing diabetes and supporting weight loss, both of which are essential for overall health and kidney function. While Ozempic isn’t specifically approved for CKD, it has indirect benefits that may help patients with CKD manage their symptoms and reduce disease progression. For patients interested in using Ozempic, especially those in USA or abroad, it’s important to source the medication from a reputable provider.

Buy Ozempic from Canada to ensure quality and safety. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting any new medication, particularly if you have CKD or other complex health conditions, to ensure that Ozempic is right for you.

Innovative Diabetes Treatments at Hyderabad’s Leading Diabetes Hospitals

Diabetes is a growing health concern worldwide, and managing this chronic condition requires continuous advancements in treatment options. Hyderabad, one of India’s leading healthcare hubs, is home to several renowned diabetes hospitals that are at the forefront of introducing innovative treatments. These hospitals combine cutting-edge technology with personalized care to provide patients with effective, long-term solutions for managing diabetes. Here’s a look at some of the groundbreaking diabetes treatments available at Hyderabad’s leading diabetes hospitals.

Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)

One of the most significant advances in diabetes care is the use of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) systems. CGMs provide real-time data on blood sugar levels, allowing patients and healthcare providers to monitor fluctuations throughout the day without the need for finger-prick tests.

Hyderabad’s top diabetes hospitals use CGMs to give patients a clearer picture of how their blood glucose levels are behaving, especially during the night or after meals. These devices send alerts when blood sugar levels are too high or too low, helping prevent hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.

The continuous stream of data collected by CGMs also allows doctors to make more accurate decisions about insulin dosing and lifestyle adjustments. With this advanced technology, diabetes management becomes more precise, reducing the risk of long-term complications like nerve damage, eye problems, or kidney disease.

Insulin Pumps for Advanced Diabetes Management

For patients with Type 1 diabetes or advanced Type 2 diabetes, insulin pumps are becoming a revolutionary treatment option. These small, portable devices deliver a constant supply of insulin throughout the day, mimicking the natural release of insulin by the pancreas.

Insulin pumps are especially helpful for patients who struggle with regulating their insulin levels using traditional injections. In Hyderabad’s leading diabetes hospitals, patients can benefit from personalized insulin pump therapy, where the device is calibrated based on individual needs, lifestyle, and blood glucose patterns.

This method offers a level of convenience and flexibility that traditional insulin injections can't provide. Patients using insulin pumps enjoy more consistent blood sugar control, reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications.

Stem Cell Therapy for Diabetes Treatment

A cutting-edge development in diabetes treatment is stem cell therapy, which has shown promising results in potentially reversing Type 1 diabetes. Some leading diabetes hospitals in Hyderabad are exploring the use of stem cells to regenerate insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. This innovative treatment aims to reduce or eliminate the need for insulin injections by encouraging the body to produce its own insulin again.

While stem cell therapy is still in the experimental phase, early research is showing positive outcomes, especially for Type 1 diabetic patients who no longer respond to traditional treatments. Hyderabad’s hospitals are part of clinical trials and research studies exploring the potential of stem cells in diabetes care, offering hope for a future where diabetes can be cured, not just managed.

Artificial Pancreas Systems (APS)

The Artificial Pancreas System (APS) is another revolutionary treatment that combines insulin pumps with continuous glucose monitoring systems to automatically adjust insulin delivery based on blood sugar levels. Essentially, the APS acts as a "closed-loop" system, providing a more automated approach to diabetes management.

This technology is especially beneficial for patients with Type 1 diabetes, who need constant insulin adjustments throughout the day. In leading hospitals in Hyderabad, patients can be introduced to APS systems, which help them maintain near-normal blood sugar levels without the need for frequent manual interventions. The APS system continuously checks blood glucose levels and administers insulin automatically, helping patients live more freely without constant monitoring.

Advanced Laser Treatments for Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetes can cause complications in the eyes, such as diabetic retinopathy, a condition that damages the blood vessels in the retina. If left untreated, it can lead to blindness. Hyderabad’s advanced diabetes hospitals offer laser treatments to prevent or treat this condition before it causes irreversible damage.

The most common type of laser therapy used in Hyderabad is focal laser treatment, which targets areas of the retina that are leaking fluid and causing vision problems. Another form of treatment, pan-retinal laser photocoagulation, is used to reduce the risk of vision loss in patients with advanced diabetic retinopathy by reducing the growth of abnormal blood vessels in the retina.

These treatments are performed by skilled ophthalmologists and are highly effective in managing diabetic retinopathy, preserving vision, and preventing further complications.

Bariatric Surgery for Obese Diabetic Patients

For patients with Type 2 diabetes who are also obese, bariatric surgery has emerged as a promising option for managing both conditions. Several leading hospitals in Hyderabad offer bariatric procedures like gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy, which not only promote significant weight loss but also lead to improved blood sugar control.

Studies have shown that bariatric surgery can lead to remission of Type 2 diabetes in some patients, especially those who have been struggling to control their blood sugar levels with lifestyle changes and medications. Hospitals in Hyderabad that specialize in diabetes care have a dedicated team of surgeons and endocrinologists who work together to provide the best possible outcomes for patients considering this option.

Diabetes Education and Personalized Lifestyle Programs

While medications and treatments are crucial, education and lifestyle management play an equally important role in managing diabetes. Hyderabad’s top diabetes hospitals offer personalized lifestyle programs that include one-on-one consultations with dietitians, exercise physiologists, and diabetes educators.

These programs help patients learn how to manage their condition through proper nutrition, exercise, stress management, and regular monitoring. Many hospitals also offer workshops and group sessions to educate patients about the latest developments in diabetes care and how they can incorporate these innovations into their daily routines.

Personalized diet plans, exercise regimens, and mindfulness techniques are tailored to meet the needs of each patient, ensuring they receive comprehensive care and support to maintain their health.

Use of AI and Big Data in Diabetes Management

Some of Hyderabad's leading diabetes hospitals are leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) and big data to enhance diabetes care. AI algorithms analyze data from various sources, including blood glucose levels, medical history, and lifestyle factors, to predict trends and provide personalized treatment recommendations.

Big data allows healthcare providers to track patient outcomes in real-time, allowing doctors to make more informed decisions and improve overall care. By integrating AI into diabetes management, Hyderabad’s hospitals are not only improving the accuracy of diagnosis but also offering tailored treatments that lead to better long-term outcomes.

Conclusion

Hyderabad’s leading diabetes hospitals are embracing a future of innovative treatments that go beyond traditional diabetes management. From advanced glucose monitoring systems to stem cell therapies and artificial pancreas systems, these hospitals are at the forefront of a revolution in diabetes care. By combining technology with personalized care, Hyderabad is setting a new standard in how diabetes is treated, providing patients with hope for a healthier and more fulfilling life.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been managing diabetes for years, the advanced treatments available in Hyderabad’s diabetes hospitals offer a range of options to improve your quality of life and reduce the risk of complications.

Disodium Hydrogen Citrate Syrup

Disodium Hydrogen Citrate Syrup comes with the branding “ALSODA” and helps to decrease the acidity of the urine and is used in the management of diseases such as kidney stones, gout and renal tubular acidosis.

E. coli Outbreak Linked to McDonald’s Quarter Pounders: State-by-State Breakdown

Overview of the Outbreak

Between September 27 and October 11, 2024, an outbreak of E. coli O157

has affected several states, with cases ranging from Colorado (26 cases) to Wyoming (1 case). Patients’ ages span 13 to 88 years, with 10 hospitalizations reported, reflecting a high hospitalization rate of 36%. Sadly, one older adult from Colorado succumbed to the illness, though they did not develop hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).

Investigation and Response

Preliminary investigations suggest slivered onions or beef patties used in Quarter Pounders may be the source. The FDA continues its traceback efforts, with early indications pointing to onions. McDonald’s has removed these ingredients from several locations as a precaution until the investigation is complete.

Interviews with 18 patients revealed that all had eaten at McDonald’s, and 86% consumed Quarter Pounders. The outbreak's wide distribution suggests that some individuals traveled across state lines before falling ill.

Symptoms and What to Do if Infected with E. coli O157

Symptoms:

Severe abdominal cramps

Bloody diarrhea

Nausea and vomiting

Fever (not always present)

Complications: In some cases, E. coli O157

can cause hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), which leads to kidney failure. Symptoms of HUS include reduced urine output, fatigue, bruising, and nosebleeds.

What to Do:

Seek Immediate Medical Care: If symptoms like bloody diarrhea or severe cramps occur.

Stay Hydrated: Drink fluids to prevent dehydration.

Avoid Anti-Diarrheal Medications: They can worsen the condition.

Monitor Children Closely: HUS primarily affects kids under 5 years old.

Expert Commentary

Anna Klyauzova, Director of Patient Services, emphasizes that outbreaks like this highlight the critical need for strict food safety practices throughout the supply chain. "No one should face severe illness, or worse, because of a simple meal choice," she says. She points out that ingredients like onions have previously been involved in similar outbreaks, underscoring the importance of proactive safety checks. Anna urges individuals experiencing symptoms to seek medical attention promptly, especially given the risks of HUS, which can lead to severe complications, particularly in children.

CDC's Latest Findings and Investigation Progress

As of October 22, 2024, the CDC confirms that the outbreak has impacted 10 states, with the most cases reported in Colorado (26 cases), followed by Nebraska (9 cases) and Utah (4 cases). Traceback investigations are focusing on slivered onions and beef patties used in Quarter Pounders as likely sources of contamination. McDonald’s has removed these ingredients from affected locations pending further investigation. The CDC advises anyone experiencing E. coli symptoms, such as fever, cramps, and bloody diarrhea, to seek immediate medical attention (CDC, 2024; Food Safety News, 2024).
