I take ushering in the new year very seriously. Not in the “new year, new me” kind of way, but holding space to reflect on the last 365 to prepare for the next. I prepared my vision board and journaled at length about what I want my 2025 to look like, and with that, I realized I have some physical goals as well as some mental ones. Enter: my beauty resolutions.In thinking about what I envision my 2025 self to look and feel like, I considered the practices I currently enjoy but wish I did more of—like journaling and taking Pilates classes. Then, there are things that I know I should be doing that I simply slack off on—like flossing and actually taking my daily multivitamin. Lastly are the beauty methodologies that have been discussed ad nauseam—from gua sha to dry brushing—that experts always claim worthwhile but which I have not yet given a proper try.Breaking it down in this way has made it simple to identify the gaps in my regimen, see which things are feasible additions, and determine which will leave the largest impact. Before the clock struck twelve on New Year’s Eve, I managed to nail down my 2025 beauty and wellness resolutions I'm prioritizing this year. Learn more about them below, and if you see my IRL, hold me accountable!Gua Sha Once Per WeekThe benefits of the gua sha are well-documented. “The literal gua sha Mandarin translation is ‘to scrape sand,’” Lin Chen, cofounder of Pink Moon previously told Vogue, The practice has been integral to Chinese holistic healing practices for 4,000 years; “traditionally used over the body to help aid in the movement of qi (which is energy flow), increase circulation, and release tension.” I’m most interested its ability to promote lymphatic drainage and relieve tense muscles—specifically my jaw and shoulders. With consistent and correct use, gua sha can effectively sculpt the face. (Don’t fret: there are plenty of TikTok tutorials to guide you.) This year, I want to gua sha at least once per week, and can’t wait to report back on my face and body changes.LanshinPro Gua Sha Jade Face MassagerDrink Immunity Ingestibles Before CoffeeThere are lots of conversations around when to drink coffee. It’s generally thought that around 90 minutes after waking up (to align with your body’s natural rhythm, supposedly); but, seemingly more important is what you should drink before the latte. Some say a glass of water is enough, some say you should add lemon to it. I’ve tried both methods and did genuinely feel a difference in my body—less jittery, improved digestion. Though recently, I’ve ditched the water all together for an immunity drink. I first got hooked on AG1’s greens powder—drinking it before coffee just felt inherently healthier and I like the idea of getting it out the way before my schedule gets too hectic. (If I don’t drink it in the morning I never will!) Lately, I’ve been obsessed with the Armra colostrum, whose benefits range from improved gut health to elevated mood and focus. Whichever I choose, my coffee sits better on my stomach. The jury’s still out if my method is expert-approved.Athletic GreensAG1 by Athletic Greens Travel PacksTake My Supplements DailyIn 2024, I wasn’t the most consistent with my supplement intake, especially while traveling. To change that in 2025, I'm timing my supplements with dinnertime in the best effort to hold myself accountable. I love Ritual’s lineup so much—its multivitamin and probiotic get shipped right to my doorstep which makes it easy to stay stocked with my essentials. I’m also currently taking its omega-3 supplement since learning that the fatty acid offers a host of benefits from reduced inflammation to improved heart health and better skin appearance. Expert also emphasize the importance of getting enough vitamin D, so I’ve been ordering Nature Made’s softgels on Amazon. And for when I’m not at my apartment to take my supplements, I keep my travel pill case handy.RitualEssential Multivitamin for Women 18+Optimize My Sleep RoutineI’ve recently come to terms with the fact that I’m not a good sleeper. I don’t have bad sleep per se, but I do not wake up feeling completely refreshed. Oftentimes, I end up with a random soreness on my back, a kink in my neck, or a less-than-desirable Oura ring score. In 2025, that changes! We’re optimizing my sleep routine. The aforementioned Oura ring is my current tracker of choice to keep me accountable and help me determine if any of my changes improve my sleep quality over time. To do this, I’m relying on my silk eye mask by Drowsy, mouth tape, and a few upgrades in the bedroom. I think my bed could be more comfortable so I’m in the market for new bedding, including plush, hotel-like pillows, a mattress topper (maybe memory foam?), and even new sheets. I already have a Hatch alarm clock, but I’m also going to go down a TikTok rabbit hole to maximize its uses. Currently, I only turn it on before bed to activate my favorite pink noise.HatchRestore 2 Sunrise Alarm ClockReimagine My Oral-Care RoutineIn writing an ode to my personal care essentials, I realized I’m on an oral-care kick right now. Once it clicked for me how much your oral health impacts your overall well-being, I’ve been determined to optimize my regimen. I’ve already upgraded to an electric toothbrush, and found a flossing device that works for me (thank you Flaus), but as the year goes on, I’m looking to try a few more oft-recommended solutions. I keep hearing about these Denti-Fresh tablets on TikTok from a host of dental hygienists—they’re made with xylitol which is said to help prevent cavities. Ayurvedic practitioners have claimed that oil pulling can reduce plaque, prevent gingivitis, and regulate bad breath per a 2014 Vogue article, and the practice remains relevant a decade later. I’m thinking of giving it a try, too, to see if I notice a difference.Journal More ConsistencyI’m a journal-er by nature, but when my schedule gets hectic, it’s one of the first habits to go. Though, when I really need to get my thoughts in order, I resort to a voice memo journal entry which while effective at the time, I rarely ever revisit. That said, I’m carving out dedicated time to journal even for five minutes at night before bed. And let’s be real: the chicer the notebook, the more likely I am to whip it out. These by Papier and Smythson are my favorite.Monogram Navy Leather NotebookSmythsonSoho Mara 2025 Croc-Effect Leather Diary with SlideKeep My Hair MoisturizedI have a bad habit of not moisturizing my hair properly while it’s in protective styles, and I’m on a mission to change that. I can’t strengthen and lengthen my strands if they’re dry, after all! For hair in need of hydration, I love using a hair serum (which delivers moisture directly to the scalp) or a lightweight milk or lotion in between wash days.Act+AcreCold Processed Stem Cell SerumTake Pilates Twice Per WeekThere is no workout that makes me feel better than Pilates. It lengthens and tones my body unlike any exercise I’ve ever tried, and I'm taking that to heart this year. I’m challenging myself to take 100 Pilates classes in 2025 which yields itself to about two sessions per week. And as I’m increasing my workout output, I’ll certainly need more activewear and gear. I can’t let the “what to wear?” question stop me! Source link

To do this, I’m relying on my silk eye mask by Drowsy, mouth tape, and a few upgrades in the bedroom. I think my bed could be more comfortable so I’m in the market for new bedding, including plush, hotel-like pillows, a mattress topper (maybe memory foam?), and even new sheets. I already have a Hatch alarm clock, but I’m also going to go down a TikTok rabbit hole to maximize its uses. Currently, I only turn it on before bed to activate my favorite pink noise.HatchRestore 2 Sunrise Alarm ClockReimagine My Oral-Care RoutineIn writing an ode to my personal care essentials, I realized I’m on an oral-care kick right now. Once it clicked for me how much your oral health impacts your overall well-being, I’ve been determined to optimize my regimen. I’ve already upgraded to an electric toothbrush, and found a flossing device that works for me (thank you Flaus), but as the year goes on, I’m looking to try a few more oft-recommended solutions. I keep hearing about these Denti-Fresh tablets on TikTok from a host of dental hygienists—they’re made with xylitol which is said to help prevent cavities.

Though, when I really need to get my thoughts in order, I resort to a voice memo journal entry which while effective at the time, I rarely ever revisit. That said, I’m carving out dedicated time to journal even for five minutes at night before bed. And let’s be real: the chicer the notebook, the more likely I am to whip it out.

 Resolution of QRS-fragmentation: A case report and review of literature by Zhong Yi, MD in Journal of Clinical Case Reports Medical Images and Health Sciences

Abstract

Background: It’s not clear whether the resolution of fQRS can be used to assess the effectiveness of cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) in patients of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

Case presentation: Here we report a 78-year-old male patient with HFrEF and refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT), who’s 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) showed fQRS in leads V1-V6 with QRS duration of 134 ms on admission. Even though the optimized medication of metoprolol, amiodarone, lidocaine, and berberine was given, the recurrent VT and HFrEF were still refractory. For further management, a CRT-D with multipoint pacing (MPP) function (St. Jude Medical, Sylmar, CA) was considered and implanted. It’s very encouraging that no more VTs and fQRS were recorded 9 hours after a CRT-D with MPP function was implanted, and the left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) improved significantly later.

Conclusion: CRT-D with MPP is effective in improving the situation of the patient with ischemic cardiomyopathy and HFrEF, and the fQRS resolution can be considered as a sign of its effectiveness.

Keywords: Fragmented QRS; Heart failure; Cardiac resynchronization therapy; Multipoint pacing

Introduction

Fragmented QRS (fQRS) on the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is defined as the presence of additional notches buried within the QRS, which is widely accepted as a sign of myocardial infarction scar or fibrosis. [1, 2] The fQRS is derived from the abnormality of ventricular depolarization due to ventricular heterogeneity and derangement of ventricular conduction around the infarction zone or scar. [3-5]  And the fQRS is also a sign of left ventricular desynchronization in patients of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and the narrow QRS complex (<150 ms). [6] A meta-analysis showed that fQRS on patient’s baseline ECG increased all-cause mortality and major arrhythmic events in HFrEF patients. [7] However, it’s not clear whether the resolution of fQRS is useful to assess the effectiveness of cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, especially those CRT-D with multipoint pacing (MPP) function. Here we present an HFrEF patient who had fQRS on his admission ECG and frequent ventricular tachycardia (VT) on his Ambulatory ECG. But no more VT and fQRS were recorded, 9 hours after the implantation of a CRT-D with MPP function. The patient had provided informed consent for publication of this case.

Case presentation

A 78-year-old man presented with a complaint of chest congestion and short of breath lasted for 2 hours on his admission. He had hypertension for 10 years, but his blood pressure was normal on admission without taking any medicine. He had an old myocardial infarction and a coronary artery stent implanted 18 years before, and 2 more stents implanted 10 years before. The patient took a semi-sitting position, the blood pressure was 105/65 mmHg, and the heart rate was 80 bpm. Both lungs were clear, the apex was left out of the normal limit, and slight edema in lower extremities was found. His laboratory examination, including blood routine, hepatic and renal function, electrolyte, coagulation function, and Cardiac troponin I (CTNI), was normal, but the level of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) elevated to 3082 pg/ml. The ECG showed sinus rhythm, ventricular bigeminy, fQRS in leads V1-V6, QRS duration of 134 ms, and abnormal Q wave in leads V4-V6 (Fig. 1a). His 24-hours Holter monitoring showed 41,320 polymorphic ventricular premature beats (PVCs), which is 42% of the total 98327 beats, and 254 paroxysmal polymorphic VT (Fig. 2a). His chest x-radiography revealed pulmonary congestion, pear-shaped heart and cardio-thoracic proportion of more than 50% (Fig. 3a). His transthoracic echocardiography showed left atrium and ventricle enlargement with the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter of 62 mm; there was a ventricular aneurysm of 5.2×2.0 cm2; there was minor regurgitation of mitral and aortic valves; the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 28%. Moreover, no coronary artery or stent stenosis was shown by coronary angiography. We proposed the patient’s primary diagnosis was ischemic cardiomyopathy and HFrEF. Even though the optimized medication of metoprolol, amiodarone, lidocaine, and berberine was given, the recurrent VT and HFrEF were still refractory. For further management, a CRT-D with MPP function (St. Jude Medical, Sylmar, CA) was considered and implanted. It’s very encouraging that 9 hours after the procedure, no VT was monitored again (Fig. 2b); twenty-four hours later, the fQRS was absent and never been recorded after that, and the QRS duration decreased from 134 ms to 122 ms (Fig. 1b). Also, the level of BNP significantly dropped to 357 pg/ml. Furthermore, nine days after the procedure, the LVEF increased to 45%; 30 days later, no pulmonary congestion was found on his Chest x-radiography and the cardio-thoracic proportion improved significantly (Fig. 3b). While, over one year of follow-up, the patient has remained symptom-free of VT and HF.

The patient’s chest x-radiography revealed pulmonary congestion, pear-shaped heart, and cardio-thoracic proportion more than 50% at baseline; (b) There was no pulmonary congestion, and the cardio-thoracic percentage decreased significantly, 30 days after the CRT-D implantation.

Discussion

Considering this patient’s old MI history, we supposed that the possible reason for short of breath on admission was acute myocardial ischemia or acute heart failure. But there was no coronary artery or stent stenosis on his coronary angiography, and the level of CTNI was normal. Combined with clinical signs, chest x-radiography, echocardiographic signs, and elevated levels of BNP, the reason for short of breath was sure to be acute heart failure.

The fQRS is defined as various ‘RSR’ patterns, with or without a Q wave, located in two contiguous leads of a major coronary artery territory. And, the fQRS manifests as an extra R (R’) wave, ≥2 notches in R wave, or ≥2 notches in the down or up-stroke of S wave.[4] It’s reported that fQRS was associated with myocardial infarction scar or fibrosis, and was considered as a sign of old myocardial infarction. [1, 2] The fQRS was also considered as a marker of left ventricular dyssynchrony in HFrEF patients with narrow QRS complex (<150ms). [6] Furthermore, the fQRS was also associated with higher all-cause mortality, and cardiac event rate defined as MI, need for revascularization, VT and cardiac death. [8, 9] The fQRS found in contiguous 3 leads was a significant predictor of the cardiac death or heart failure hospitalization. [9] fQRS increased MAE in HFrEF patients. [7] In this HFrEF patient, the fQRS, with narrow QRS complex of 134 ms, presented on all the 6 precordial leads (V1-V6) on his admission ECG. As it was discussed on the above, the presence of fQRS, with narrow QRS complex on the ECG, was showed that he had left ventricular dyssynchrony caused by myocardial infarction scar or fibrosis. Therefore, our strategy focused on improving the ischemic cardiomyopathy induced HFrEF, and CRT-D with MPP was the best choice for the management of his refractory VT and HFrEF. Practically, the complete resolution of fQRS accompanied by the improvement of HFrEF in a relatively short hospital stay is strong evidence support for the effectiveness of CRT-D with MPP function.

Implantable CRT with MPP is a new quadripolar technology that involves a left ventricle lead with 4 different pacing electrodes and a dedicated device with multiple pacing options. [9] MPP is superior to the conventional biventricular pacing on the improvement of acute cardiac hemodynamics, left ventricle synchronization, and QRS complex narrowing, and all of this manifested as a higher number of acute responders to CRT. [10-12] Therefore, a CRT-D with MPP was implanted in our patient. Then, he had a significant improvement, such as the termination of VT, the narrowing of QRS, the elevation of LVEF, and the relief of HF symptoms.

In conclusion, CRT-D with MPP is very useful in improving the LVEF of the patient with ischemic cardiomyopathy and HFrEF. And the resolution of fQRS may be a sign of the alleviation of HFrEF by using CRT-D with MPP.

Newspapers: The Wind that Shapes the Student’s Spirit

Newspapers, just like the variety of human desire and insanity, possess an extraordinary opportunity to form the experience of a student and his/her education and personality transformation. They are lenses to the ever-spinning wheel of life, which sheds light on the streams of politics, economy, and social relations. Thus to embrace their essence is to depart from textbooks, and develop the mind that would be honed to an edge. To read, and particularly to read often further helps build an extensive vocabulary, and enhances the way of reasoning – a tool that any learner should ideally have – yes, it is a weapon.

Working with newspapers, students learn analysis, detect the truth behind the veil of perspective, and monitor the rhythm of related local and global events. These tools are accustoming, especially for those living in student apartments and rooms, where independence is accompanied by the necessity to develop discipline. In this case, the habit of daily reading promotes learner independence and imparts knowledge not contained within the four walls of the student apartment.

Newspapers also help as a clandestine backup for competition preparation – exams that are not just about facts, but about solutions as well. They widen the horizon, provide a window to so many fields ranging from science to technology, arts or culture, and are useful for exercising the grey matter. Whether in isolation of a student room or the ordinariness of a shared flat, this practice turns learning into a quest that would be worthy to the strongest spirit – a quest for mastery.

Top 5 newspapers in the UK

The Guardian

An innovation of liberal attitude, The Guardian goes right through the heart of the social structure, exploring global politics, social concerns, and learning. This is one of the reasons why students of universities can find it appealing; being aimed at university education as well as in its digital form – a source to provoke thoughts, and expand horizons.

The Times

Respectability, integrity, and high tradition, The Times strikes the right cord with principled reporting. This resource provides important information on political and social realities in the UK making it a compass for students with a need to navigate through clutter. Education and careers remain their special concentrations that prepare readers with the right knowledge to chart their destinies.

The Independent

Liberated from the traditions of other media houses, The Independent has been practising modern journalism. For those with limited resources or from the untold corners of society, it has an enlightening, unbiased perspective and is available solely in the digital realm. It addresses the basic sociopolitical issues such as immigration, and international relations, that is key issues affecting people away from their home country.

Financial Times

A sword made for the intellectual, the Financial Times cuts through information on global markets and economics. Of special interest to the learners of commerce and political science, it provides a vision that engulfs a realm in a world reduced to calculations and schemes.

Metro

As swift and as accessible as a mode of daily transport, there is always a companion in the life of those caught in the hustle and bustle of the city. Insight brief coverage of business news, entertainment, and current events is convenient for the student’s hectic schedule to become a reference point in the complexities of the urban maze.

As things stand each of these newspapers contains a fragment of understanding of the phenomenon in question providing different but complimentary views that coalesce to give a complete picture. For the one who already strives to know and understand something, they are not merely tools, but Freedom’s roads.

StudentTenant.com: Simplifying Student Housing in the UK

StudentTenant.com remains a dedicated support system for anyone navigating the path of student life and provides an extensive website that is dedicated to making the search for student housing in the UK easier and less time-consuming. It is an instrument of accuracy and it enables international students and ensure safe spaces by providing a website with genuine listings from landlords and universities. In the same manner, as a beacon leading through the sandy desert, student tenant features property details, tours, clear prices, and local selection criteria. Students can search through different student residences and how and what kind of accommodation services are offered, students may get first-hand feedback and they don’t need to meet many difficulties if they want to understand lease agreements. Thanks to the constant and unconditional, focus on their shoppers, international students especially, StudentTenant.com changes the usually complex, lengthy and somehow fretful practice of selecting housing, into one that is easy and sure. This has a vast compiled database and a simple interface for searching for the UK student accommodation rather hassle-less.

COVID-19 vaccines pose a 112,000% greater risk of brain clots and strokes than flu vaccines and a 20,700% greater risk of those symptoms than all other vaccines combined, according to a peer-reviewed study that calls for a global moratorium on the vaccines.

The study, published last week in the International Journal of Innovative Research in Medical Science, found reports of 5,137 cases of cerebral thromboembolism after COVID-19 shots over 36 months. This compares to 52 reported cases following flu vaccination and 282 cases for all vaccines over the past 34 years.

According to the study, this represents an “alarming breach in the safety signal threshold concerning cerebral thrombosis adverse events” following COVID-19 vaccination.

The study’s authors — independent researcher Claire Rogers, obstetrician and gynecologist Dr. James A. Thorp, independent researcher Kirstin Cosgrove and cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough — used data from the U.S. government’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), for their analysis.

The data also indicated 9,821 reports of atrial fibrillation — an irregular heart rhythm that is “the most common identifiable cause of cerebral arterial thromboembolism” — following COVID-19 vaccination in 41 months, compared to 797 cases reported in 34 years for all other vaccines combined.

Rogers told The Defender the findings confirm anecdotal evidence of an increased incidence of stroke seen during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

September 28-October 5, 2013

Sunday:

I spent the day working on some edits, studying, and doing chores. Laundry piled up, and I tackled it while reading my new Komiksmachine. The blend of mundane tasks and leisure created a peaceful rhythm to the day.

Monday:

Lecture and discussion filled the morning. We started conducting experiments based on the methods we just learned, and our group’s plan got approved. Meg, the older and more experienced one, took the lead.

Later, I attended my first Aikido class. It was challenging, each movement requiring focus and coordination, but I felt a sense of accomplishment by the end.

Tuesday:

We delved into neurological disorders in class, a topic both fascinating and sobering. During Economics, we had a mini-reporting session, and then came History class. As I walked in, my heart raced. I had to muster a lot of energy to act nonchalant. Sir Apollo and I exchanged glances that carried a weight of unspoken words. The memory of our kiss lingered, and I found myself rubbing my lips together.

After Ecology, I met with Mansoor. We went to Starbucks and talked, then I led him to a secluded spot near General Luna. The absence of people gave us a sense of privacy. I hugged him and kissed his cheeks, then his lips. He froze, and panic gripped me.

"Sorry!" I blurted, horrified by my impulsiveness. "I should have asked you, I'm sorry!"

He laughed and kissed me back, deeper this time.

"It's okay," he said, laughing and brushing my hair. "That was my first kiss. I've really wanted to do that."

I kissed him again, just a light peck.

"I liked that," he said, making me feel all fluttery inside. For a moment, I felt like I had erased the memory of Apollo’s kiss.

Wednesday:

We started gathering respondents for our experiment, mostly boys or people we knew. The process was fun, full of laughter and camaraderie. We did computations and broke down our roles, the teamwork making the tasks enjoyable.

Thursday:

Abnormal Psychology included a small role-playing session. English 7 had readings that were engaging and thought-provoking.

In History class, we began lectures on Rizal. I met Myla, a cheerful and talkative friend. During a downtime, I was reading Nick Joaquin, and Sir Apollo suddenly grabbed the book. We discussed it briefly, but I acted disinterested.

A storm was brewing, and it rained heavily as I headed home, soaked to the bone. Mansoor was with his family, so I spent the evening alone.

Friday:

We had an organizational meeting about the upcoming sportsfest. Our first experiment report was due, and Ma’am Jean paired Mansoor and me together again as an example. The class squealed, making it clear they suspected something. I appreciated Mansoor's efforts to keep our relationship discreet.

After class, I attended Aikido. Mansoor and Hollmae hung out nearby. Once Hollmae left, I kissed Mansoor again, just a brief peck. We remembered it was our second-month anniversary.

Saturday:

We submitted our case study journals. I fabricated my case study, describing someone with depression and PTSD, sourced from online research. It seemed the easiest way to complete the assignment.

In History class, I learned to joke around with Sir Apollo, easing the tension. He asked about my well-being, specifically if my harasser was still bothering me. I assured him he wasn’t. He inquired why I no longer worked at the bookstore, and I explained I quit to ease my parents' worries.

He nodded, and I caught him glancing at my legs.

"That's great," he said with a smile.

Later, we had another meeting to finalize plans. We decided to rent the Green Valley Sports Center for the sportsfest.

It was my mom’s birthday, which I nearly forgot. I bought a cake and cooked a special meal. That day, I also received 10,000 pesos for my job, bringing my total savings to 33,000.
