#including a hole between two chambers of the heart

[gray-isnt-real]

[quitealotofsodapop]

So we been DMing. And thought the greater group would like this odea I had.

FFM is in a volcanic ring, so it goes to show that it's likely an active volcano as well. What if the first time MK sees Wukong's kaiju form is due to an impending eruption?

It was a beautiful day put when MK and Wukong were having a training session when the mountains shook and trembled, interrupting the two monkeys as the play fought. MK was confused about the matter, but shrug it off thinking he and Wukong had been too rough and caused the tremors. It certainly hadn't been the first time.

Wukong, who is a monkey born of the earth and knows the mountain better than anyone else, knows better.

He immediately cuts the training short and tells MK to get off the mountain. All training is canceled until further notice, and he is to stay clear of the place unless instructed otherwise. That tremor was the first warning sign of an impending eruption, and it was a large one, too.

MK had gone home that day confused, wondering why his mentor had suddenly kicked him off the mountain. When he tells his friends, he can't even answer why Wukong had done so as he had been so desperate to get MK to safety the king had forgotten to tell him what the problem even was! This will lead to a problem when the eruption happens, because the whole group wasn't going to let MK be kicked fork training without an answer and they decided to go confront Wukong, not realizing they were stepping foot on an active volcano within hours of a Cesuvius level eruption

Prev.

Wukong goes full "General-King-Mode" during this time. He can't risk his subjects (demonic and wild) or his beloved island from getting hurt in the eruption.

Wukong breathes steady but nervous, all things are going to plan. The volcanic ring around FFM isn't just a useful security measure - but also evidence of previous redirected eruptions. The danger is ultimately caused by heat and gas being under pressure beneath the earth. Normally all Wukong has to do is punch a hole in the magma chamber every so often to "let off steam".

He calls upon begrudging allies like Macaque (using his portals to evacuate the monkeys) and Iron Fan (to redirect the poisonous fumes). Red Son and DBK are even involved since they are super-heat resistant (DBK literally walks through a waterfall of lava with dinner during "The First Ring") and can help punch holes into the crust to help ease the pressure beneath the earth. Royal sea dragons like Ao Guang are on call to minimize any tidal waves caused in the eruption's wake.

It's a mutual understanding between the immortals. Wukong never wants devastation like The Burning to ever happen again.

He can't let innocent people be hurt by-

MK, waving from Sandys' ship: "Hi Monkey King!! Wukong, furious with worry: "I thought I told you to go home!" MK: "I did go home! And me and the guys are worried why you sent me away like that? If that earthquake was sign of something bigger then we could help!" Mei: "Yeah! And my parents got weird and flew off after the earthquake too! We shouldn't be kept in the dark like this!" Wukong: "Guys, listen very, very carefully; I sent MK home so suddenly because The Island is About to BLOW!!" The Noodle Gang, looking furiously at MK: "WHAT!?" MK, wincing with realisation: "Oooooo... I don't think we can help with that." Wukong, eyes glowing red: "YA THINK!?"

Whilst Wukong is partially to blame for not explaining himself clearly, he isn't blamed for his sheer worry. This isn't some tangible enemy he could defeat, but Nature itself.

Eventually Wukong feels this terrible pit in his stomach. Like his heart is about to burst out of his chest.

Huaguoshan itself is about to blow.

And all his friends are in its' path.

With a Heaven-shaking roar he activates his War Form.

Macaque activates his own, forcing the entirety of the Noodle Gang through one of his portals (boat included) a safe distance from the island. In the shadow's eyes is no longer fear as he once felt towards his mate's form, but adoration.

Wukong plunges to the bottom of the sea beneath the island chain, digging through the silt and rock until he reaches the mantle. With each new punch he releases a new viscous explosion of magma that violently shoots to the surface like an underwater bomb. But with each new punch, the pressure beneath the island itself lessens.

He feels no pain from the heat - it's not comparable to the True Fire he felt within the Furnace.

Around him miles away in all four cardinal directions, sea dragons (including the Ao-Long couple) come to his aid; redirecting the waves away from the cities and islands that would be swept away in the tide.

Above the waves, Iron Fan gets to work fanning the fires and clouds of poisonous sulphur away from the island, a skill she perfected from protecting her home in the Flaming Mountains. (Tang in particular squees at see her in action, followed soon by PIF's own husband).

DBK and Red Son are running along the existing volcanic ring - destroying the old chimneys and opening new channels in the hardened basalt to ease the load off of the King's shoulders. Red Son's fiery mane even seems to be increasing in volume the longer they work to release the heat.

Soon it seems like the ring of fire has been built from the mantle-up.

The Gang are watching the whole thing with amazement. Depending on what happens in between, they may actually try and help the Demon Bull fam with their efforts.

Mei gets a crash course in her own sea-dragon abilities when she has to direct the waves away from Sandy's boat. Her and Red Son laugh, teasing that for a sea dragon, she's more familiar with flames than water!

Pigsy might not be able to withstand the heat - but the indestructible, size altering rake he inherited can! He slingshots it towards DBK's waiting hand - the nine teeth of the rake making nine times the amount of new chimneys in the mantle.

MK is tempted to follow the Monkey King below the waves, but the gentle hand of Sandy (and the not-so-gentle hand of Macaque's kaiju form) stop him from leaving the ship.

As the tremors quiet and the spouts become less frequent, the peak of Huaguoshan seems to "sneeze", and settles back to normalcy as if no great danger was a foot.

After many tense minutes, the Monkey King emerges from the sea - cloaked in salt and lava like he was born from the core of the earth itself.

Macaque makes an appreciative growling sound before slinking his way through the water to greet his King.

All three face of the King are confused. Confused and afraid. Not because his mission failed, far from it.

But because he honestly didn't expect the reaction of his allies;

MK: "MONKEY KING!! YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!" Mei, emerges from the waves: "WE ROCKED!!" Red Son, victory-hugging his parents: "We certainly did rock!" Tang: (*fainted from fanboy-ing too hard*) Pigsy, catching Tang: "YOU DID GREAT, KING!!" Sandy, softer shouts: "I don't think anyone else could have done that!"

Wukong is so taken aback. They... aren't afraid of him??

Each face of the King blushes beneath the yellow-orange glow as the cheers fail to cease. The Demon Bull couple applauding their sworn brother's courage to let his inner self free after so long.

Macaque sidles up to his King. The Shadow's bandage-like tendrils examining Wukong's golden body for injuries or burns. His soft but deep voice whispering into his mates' now-matching six ears.

Kaiju!Macaque: "I t o l d y o u, P e a c h e s. B E A U T I F U L."

“Bree Roe,” 16 (USA 1972–1978)

“Bree” was 16 years old when she underwent a hazardous 17-week D&E abortion in an unidentified hospital. She had no idea that she would be fighting for her own life in the coming weeks.

As a complication of the abortion, Bree contracted a bacterial infection. It rapidly progressed to acute endocarditis of her aortic valve and ventricular septum, which caused congestive heart failure only two weeks after the abortion.

When Bree’s cause of death was confirmed, another condition was also discovered— one that she herself had been unaware of. If there had been any pre-op examination before the abortion, it had not detected that she had a ventricular septal defect. This meant a hole or other structural abnormality in the wall between the chambers of her heart. It is unknown how much this condition might have been a factor in her death, but it should be noted that endocarditis after abortion still could have killed a client as perfectly healthy as Bree was thought to be.

Others who died of heart infection after legal abortion include 19-year-old Jessie-Maye Barlow, “Carrie Roe,” “Anne Roe,” “Irene Roe,” “Lisa Roe,” “Collette Roe” and “Georgia Roe.” Many of them were perfectly healthy before the abortions that killed them.

Mitral Valve Repair and Replacement: Expert Insights from Heart Specialists and Top Cardiac Surgeons

Mitral valve repair and mitral valve replacement are kinds of heart Surgery performed by a Heart Specialist or a Top Cardiac Surgeon to fix or supplant a flawed or restricted mitral valve. The mitral valve is one of four heart valves that control blood stream in the heart. It's situated between the upper and lower left heart chambers.

Mitral valve repair and mitral valve replacement might be finished as an open-heart Surgery or as a negligibly obtrusive Surgery. The strategy utilized relies heavily on how extreme the mitral valve sickness is and assuming that it's deteriorating. Counseling a Heart Specialist guarantees you get the most proper treatment for your condition.

Specialists, including top heart specialists, as a rule suggest Mitral valve repair rather than replacement, whenever the situation allows. It keeps the current heart valve and can assist with saving heart capability.

Why it's done

Mitral valve repair or replacement is finished to treat a harmed or unhealthy mitral valve. The mitral valve is between the two remaining heart chambers. The valve has folds, additionally called handouts, that open and near let blood go through.

Your medical services group, which might incorporate a heart trained professional or Top Cardiac Surgeon, may recommend Mitral Valve Surgery on the off chance that you have:

Mitral valve regurgitation: The valve flaps don't close tightly, causing blood to leak backward. A heart specialist often recommends mitral valve repair surgery if you have severe mitral valve regurgitation symptoms.

Mitral valve stenosis: The valve flaps become thick or stiff, narrowing the valve. If the stenosis is severe and causes symptoms such as shortness of breath, a top cardiac surgeon may recommend mitral valve surgery.

Now and then, Mitral Valve Surgery might be done regardless of whether you have side effects. For example, in the event that you really want a heart Surgery for another condition, a Heart Specialist could suggest performing Mitral Valve Surgery all the while. Research recommends this approach works on long haul results in extreme instances of mitral valve disgorging.

How you prepare

Before Surgery, a Heart Specialist will arrange tests like an echocardiogram to evaluate your heart. They will direct you through pre-Surgery arrangements, guaranteeing that you are prepared for the technique.

Mitral valve repair and replacement

During the Surgery, a Top Cardiac Surgeon might perform Mitral valve repair, which includes:

Patching holes in the valve

Reconnecting the valve flaps

Removing extra tissue to ensure proper closure

Tightening the ring around the valve (annuloplasty)

On the off chance that maintenance is unimaginable, a top heart specialist might supplant the valve with either a mechanical valve or a natural tissue valve.

Results

Mitral valve repair and replacement by a Heart Specialist or Top Cardiac Surgeon can decrease side effects, work on personal satisfaction, and upgrade generally heart capability. Ordinary subsequent meet-ups and cardiovascular recovery are fundamental to guarantee recuperation and long haul achievement.

Understanding Structural Heart Disease and Its Treatments

Structural heart disease refers to a group of heart conditions that affect the physical structure of the heart, including the heart valves, chambers, and walls. These conditions can interfere with the heart's ability to pump blood effectively and can lead to serious complications if left untreated. While some forms of structural heart disease are congenital (present at birth), others develop over time due to factors like aging, high blood pressure, or infection.

Recognizing the signs of structural heart disease early is crucial for timely intervention. The treatment options for these conditions have significantly improved, thanks to advancements in medical technology and procedures.

Common Types of Structural Heart Disease

Valvular Heart Disease This condition occurs when one or more of the heart valves don't function properly. There are four main valves in the heart, and when they become narrowed (stenosis) or leak (regurgitation), the heart must work harder to pump blood. This can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling in the legs.

Congenital Heart Defects Some people are born with structural heart defects that may or may not cause issues later in life. These defects can involve the heart's chambers, valves, or blood vessels, affecting how blood flows through the heart.

Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) An ASD is a hole in the wall (septum) that separates the two upper chambers of the heart. This hole can cause blood to flow abnormally between the left and right atria, leading to issues with oxygen levels in the bloodstream.

Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) Similar to ASD, a VSD is a hole in the septum but located between the two lower chambers of the heart. This condition can cause oxygen-rich blood to mix with oxygen-poor blood, affecting the heart’s efficiency.

Symptoms of Structural Heart Disease

The symptoms of structural heart disease can vary depending on the severity and type of condition, but common signs to watch out for include:

Shortness of breath, especially during physical activity

Chest pain or discomfort

Fatigue or weakness

Swelling in the legs, ankles, or abdomen

Dizziness or fainting

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to consult with a cardiology doctor who can provide a comprehensive evaluation and determine the appropriate next steps.

Diagnosis of Structural Heart Disease

Diagnosing structural heart disease typically involves a combination of physical examinations, medical history assessments, and diagnostic tests such as:

Echocardiogram: An ultrasound of the heart that provides detailed images of the heart's structure and function.

Electrocardiogram (ECG): This test records the electrical activity of the heart and helps identify abnormal rhythms.

Cardiac MRI or CT scan: These imaging techniques give detailed views of the heart and blood vessels.

Cardiac Catheterization: A minimally invasive procedure where a thin tube is inserted into a blood vessel to check for blockages or structural issues.

Treatments for Structural Heart Disease

Advances in cardiology have led to a variety of treatment options for those affected by structural heart disease. The choice of treatment depends on the type and severity of the condition, as well as the patient's overall health.

Medications While medications cannot fix the structural issues in the heart, they can help manage symptoms, reduce the workload on the heart, and prevent complications. Common medications include:

Diuretics to reduce fluid buildup

Blood thinners to prevent clots

Beta-blockers to manage blood pressure and heart rate

Surgical Intervention In some cases, surgery may be necessary to repair or replace damaged valves or other heart structures. Common surgeries for structural heart disease include:

Valve Repair or Replacement: Surgeons may repair or replace damaged heart valves using mechanical or biological valves.

Septal Defect Repair: For conditions like ASD or VSD, surgery can close the hole in the heart.

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG): If the disease affects the coronary arteries, bypass surgery may be needed to restore blood flow.

Minimally Invasive Procedures Thanks to advances in medical technology, many patients with structural heart disease can undergo minimally invasive procedures. These techniques are less invasive than traditional surgery and typically require shorter recovery times. Some examples include:

Transcatheter Valve Replacement: This procedure allows doctors to replace heart valves without the need for open-heart surgery.

Percutaneous Closure of ASD or VSD: A catheter is used to place a device that closes the hole in the heart.

Heart Transplant In rare cases where other treatments are not effective, a heart transplant may be considered for patients with end-stage heart failure due to structural heart disease. This involves replacing the diseased heart with a healthy donor heart.

The Role of the Best Cardiologist in Bhubaneswar

If you or a loved one are experiencing symptoms of structural heart disease, seeking the guidance of the best cardiologist in Bhubaneswar is essential. A cardiologist can help diagnose the condition, explain treatment options, and develop a personalized plan to manage heart health. Their expertise ensures that you receive the most appropriate and effective care tailored to your specific needs.

Conclusion

Structural heart disease can significantly impact a person’s quality of life, but with early diagnosis and the right treatments, many individuals can lead active, fulfilling lives. Advances in technology and treatment options provide hope for those dealing with these conditions. If you're concerned about your heart health, don’t hesitate to consult with a cardiology doctor in Bhubaneswar who can help guide you toward the best course of action.

ASD Surgery Cost in India

A gap in the atrial septum, the membrane that separates two of the top chambers of the heart (atria), is often referred to as an atrial septal defect (ASD). ASDs result from defective septum development, which is a foetal heart deviation (something you are born with). An alternative term for it is "hole within the heart."

An aberrant blood intermediary that shouldn't be developing, or a faulty shunt, can be caused by an ASD. For the purpose of supplying your body with oxygen, blood with high levels of oxygen typically travels from the left side of your upper chamber (atrium) to the left bottom chamber (ventricle) before flowing out. When you have an ASD, some blood travels through your left atrium into the right atrium in an erroneous manner. Oxygen-starved blood has to pass through your lungs before entering your right atrium. Therefore, there is more blood in your right atrium today, which eventually travels to your lungs.

It's possible that this breach is going in the wrong way to a modest degree and won't create any issues. In some circumstances, the ASD may be left undiagnosed. Other times, it might cause issues with your heart or lungs. The likelihood of developing symptoms and needing treatment goes with the size of the ASD.

ASD Surgery Cost in India

When compared to various other countries, the cost of ASD Surgery in India is really reasonable. The total cost of care is determined by a number of variables and might fluctuate within a certain range. The following are some significant variables that influence the price of ASD Surgery in India:

Costs for cardiologists: Your cardiologist's costs will be a significant cost associated with the closure of your ASD device in India treatment. If you opt to get cardiac surgery in India, you can be convinced that you will be in safe and skilled hands despite the fact that costs may vary based on the surgeon's expertise.

Surgery Approach Type: New methods and tools are often included into surgical procedures in an effort to enhance patient care. Costs may go up as a result of such cutting-edge surgical improvements.

Average price of ASD Surgery in India fluctuates between INR 2,00,000 and INR 4,50,000.

Best ASD Surgery Hospitals in India

India is a boon for medical patients. It has many known hospitals which are recognised worldwide.  The best hospital for ASD Surgery in Indiaprovide its patient with highly skilled medical staff along with best possible care and they use modern technology which increases their operation success rate.

Congenital Heart Disease

Congenital heart disease is a fault or problem with the heart that’s there from birth. This means it develops in the womb, before the baby is born

Types of congenital heart disease

There are many different types of congenital heart disease. The most common types include:

Septal defects - a hole between two of the heart’s chambers

Coarctation of the aorta - narrowing of the body’s main artery

Pulmonary valve stenosis - narrowing of the pulmonary valve

Causes of congenital heart disease

In most cases, we don’t know why the heart has not developed normally. Research is looking at the causes of congenital heart disease. You may have an increased risk of congenital heart disease if:

You have a family history of congenital heart disease

Your mum or birth parent had diabetes when they were pregnant

Your mum or birth parent took certain medicines when they were pregnant

Symptoms of congenital heart disease

Most people with congenital heart disease are diagnosed before they are born. But some people will be diagnosed when they’re a baby, child or adult.

You may not have any symptoms, but if you do it could include:

Fast heartbeat

Shortness of breath

Tiredness

A blue colour to your skin or lips

Treating congenital heart disease

Treatment for congenital heart disease depends on the type of heart condition you have, and how serious it is.

Many people with congenital heart disease do not need treatment and can live a normal life.

Other people may need treatment, such as medicine, heart surgery or other procedures. Some heart conditions can be treated before you’re born (in the womb). With treatment and regular check-ups, many people live well with a heart condition.

Bovine Pericardial Tissue Patch: An Innovative Solution for Cardiothoracic Repair

The human heart is a phenomenal organ that continuously pumps blood throughout our lives. However, it is not invincible, and many cardiovascular disorders or impacts might need surgical procedures. Medical technology developments have produced ground-breaking treatments for cardiothoracic repair. The Bovine Pericardial Tissue Patch for Cardiothoracic repair is one such innovative option.

This article will examine the fascinating world of this cutting-edge medical marvel, its advantages, practical uses, and the reasons it's revolutionising cardiothoracic surgery.

The Bovine Pericardial Tissue Patch: An Overview

The Bovine Pericardial Tissue Patch is a bioengineered substance made from cow pericardium. A two-layered membrane called the pericardium surrounds and stabilises the heart while also protecting it. Bovine pericardial tissue has become a great choice for treating and recreating damaged cardiac and thoracic structures because of its striking parallels to the human pericardium.

Benefits of the Bovine Pericardial Patch

Biocompatibility: The Bovine Pericardial Tissue Patch's great biocompatibility is one of its many important benefits. It indicates that it is well tolerated by the body, lowering the possibility of unfavorable reactions or complications following surgery.

Easy to Handle: It is straightforward for surgeons to handle the patch, which makes it easier to tailor and attach into place during surgeries. Shorter surgery times, which reduce patient discomfort and recuperation time, are also a result of this ease of usage.

Durability: Due to its exceptional resilience, the bovine Pericardial Patch is dependable for long-term repairs. Because of its durability, it can withstand the strains of the cardiothoracic environment and give the restored area stability.

Reduced Infection Risk: The chance of infection with bovine pericardial patches is substantially lower than with synthetic materials. It is very advantageous since infections can result in serious problems after cardiothoracic procedures.

Bovine Pericardial Patch Applications

Cardiac Valve Replacement and Repair - Bovine pericardial tissue patches can be used to replace or repair damaged heart valves. By supplying a solid, adaptable support system, it restores correct valve operation and blood flow.

Closure of Septal Defects - Congenital cardiac problems, including atrial and ventricular septal defects, are prevalent. In order to close these holes, speed up healing, and stop blood from leaking between the heart chambers, the bovine pericardial patch comes in very handy.

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) - The Bovine Pericardial Patch is a bypass graft that is created during CABG surgery to bypass blocked or restricted coronary arteries and restore blood flow to the heart muscles.

Thoracic Wall Reconstruction - The patch can be used to rebuild and reinforce the thoracic wall after thoracic surgeries or traumas, facilitating appropriate healing and lowering the risk of problems.

The Bovine Pericardial Patch in the Future

The uses and advancements of the bovine pericardial tissue patch will change along with medical science and technology. Engineers and scientists constantly work to improve its characteristics and make it even more robust and biocompatible. Furthermore, continuing studies aim to investigate novel applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

In Conclusion

The world's surgeons rely on it because of its superb biocompatibility, simplicity of use, and versatility. We can only assume that the Bovine Pericardial Patch will continue to save and enhance numerous lives, further consolidating its position as a creative solution in cardiothoracic surgery as more success stories and breakthroughs emerge.

Down Syndrome Case Reports Journal

Down syndrome is a lifelong condition. Although it can’t be cured, doctors know more about it now than ever. If your child has it, getting the right care early on can make a big difference in helping them live a full and meaningful life. Down syndrome can have many effects, and it’s different for each person. Some will grow up to live almost entirely on their own, while others will need more help taking care of themselves. Mental abilities vary, but most people with Down syndrome have mild to moderate issues with thinking, reasoning and some other possibilities in children’s. Down's syndrome a genetic disorder that affects a baby's normal physical development and causes learning difficulties the mother having certain infections, such as rubella, during pregnancy.

Cardiac Disease Case Reports Journal

Cardiac disease are many types of heart disease and they sometimes occur in combination. Some of the more common defects include: Septal defects-where there's a hole between 2 of the heart's chambers. Coarctation of the aorta-where the main large artery of the body, called the aorta, is narrower than normal. Pulmonary valve stenosis-where the pulmonary valve, which controls the flow of blood out of the lower right chamber of the heart to the lungs, is narrower than normal. Transposition of the great arteries-where the pulmonary and aortic valves and the arteries they're connected to have swapped positions. Underdeveloped heart-where part of the heart doesn’t develop properly making it difficult for it to pump enough blood around the body or lungs.

Myocarditis and Cardiomyopathy Disease

These are a group of disorders where the heart is structurally normal, but there is a problem in the function and contractility of the heart muscle. In myocarditis, there is inflammation of the heart muscle, often following a viral infection, which can lead to the transient weakening of the heart function along with heart failure. Myocarditis can also progress to dilated cardiomyopathy, where the heart pumping function is severely weakened and the heart is hugely enlarged. Dilated cardiomyopathy can be treated temporarily with medications, but severe cases may require ventricular assist devices and even heart transplantation in children.

Rheumatic Heart Disease

Acute rheumatic fever is a disease of joints and the heart described in children aged 3-15 years ago following a Streptococcal sore throat infection. Rheumatic fever often involves the heart valves, and if not treated early, can progress to permanent damage of the heart valves and rheumatic heart disease. While the incidence of rheumatic heart disease has gradually reduced over the last few decades in our country, this condition can still be seen in rural areas, and the affected patients may require cardiac surgery, heart transplantation and valve replacement.

Heart Transplantation Case Reports Journal

A heart transplantation is surgery to remove the diseased heart from a person and replace it with a healthy one from an organ donor. Heart transplant is a treatment that's usually reserved for people whose condition hasn't improved enough with medications or other surgeries.

Heart Failure in Children

The most common cause of heart failure in children is a heart defect that is present at birth (congenital). Heart failure, also called congestive heart failure, is a condition in which the heart can't pump enough blood to meet the needs of the body's organs. The heart keeps pumping, but not as efficiently as a healthy heart. Usually, heart failure reflects a progressive, underlying heart condition. When you have heart failure, the heart is not able to pump as well as it should. Blood and fluid may back up into the lungs.

Stage D Heart Failure

Stage D heart failure describes advanced progression of the heart failure syndrome characterized by structural abnormalities of the heart and severe resting symptoms despite optimal medical, surgical, and device therapy. The terms “stage D” and “advanced” are used interchangeably in the present document.

Congenital heart disease

A congenital heart disease or congenital heart defect is a problem with the structure of the heart that a child is born with. Some congenital heart disease in children are simple and don't need treatment. Other congenital heart defects in children are more complex and may require several surgeries performed over a period of several years.

Re-transplantation

Heart Re-Transplantation with the New Heart Transplant Allocation System. Improved Access to Patients who undergo Re-transplantation have characteristics distinct from those undergoing initial transplant. Cardiac re-transplantation accounts for a small proportion of the patients undergoing heart transplantation every year. However, due to improved patient management following transplant, the number of patients potentially requiring re-transplant is growing.

What are the different types of cardiac surgeons?

Cardiac surgeons typically fall into two professional specialties. While there are many similarities and overlaps in their practice, a few differences are big enough to group them differently.

Cardiothoracic surgeon

Sometimes called a cardiothoracic surgeon or a general thoracic surgeon, this specialty gets its name from the Greek word for "chest." As the name suggests, Shalby’s best heart hospital in Ahmedabad, specialize in surgeries on most organs and tissues found in the chest. This can include surgeries on the heart and connected major blood vessels, the lungs, esophagus (which connects your mouth to your stomach) and trachea (windpipe). Some thoracic surgeons may choose to only focus on conditions involving the heart, pericardium (a sac around the heart) and major blood vessels of the heart. Others may choose to focus on other conditions excluding the heart and major blood vessels.

Congenital/pediatric heart surgeon

A congenital or pediatric heart surgeon focuses on repairing structural problems or anomalies that a person has when they're born. This can include problems with heart valves, holes in the walls between the heart's chambers, and more.

While some surgeons focus on doing these surgeries in adults — as it is not uncommon that a congenital heart problem diagnosis happens when someone is an adult — others specialize in these surgeries on children, infants and newborns. Their practice is extremely specialized and there are very pediatric heart surgeons compared to those who practice only on adults.

[everythingodysseydd]

SO late getting into this game, but I’ve just gotta say…

What makes Odyssey so compelling as a fanfic writer is that it’s just SUCH a masterpiece and SUCH a disaster all at once. It’s hilariously aggravating. If you’re interested in a SAGA… I’ve got a hell of an example for you that I just can’t get over…

A while back I was working on a sequence around the Monger scenes in Korinth and got caught in a plot hole... I side with Brasidas there (obviously), but when it comes down to it, it’s a hell of a gamble, even for a great pair of thighs…

Unwilling to change course, I figured Brasidas is one of the greatest strategists of his era, right? Surely I can find a way to make his reasoning more compelling than “it’s secluded” 😑

But y’all….

Turns out it’s WAY deeper already.

No fabrication needed.

I started digging into what makes this cave sacred...

At first I was looking for records of the cave itself - it’s an odd city landmark, so I figure it’d be mentioned somewhere. Nope. Entirely fictitious from what I can tell. So then I needed to know why Ubi included this random-ass cave in the middle of town.

So my next dive was into Apollo and Aphrodite (the city’s main deities, but that was a dead end too.

I was ready to craft a complete smoke screen when I stumbled across another tidbit…

Through (WAYYY too much) research (especially for a fanfic I sincerely hope NO ONE reads 🤣)… I learned that Korinthia also served a local nymph called Peirene, who had a fountain in Korinthia. Ubisoft even included this fountain - it’s across from the Temple of Apollo.

This fountain was allegedly fed by an underground spring that came from Akrokorinth. This spring was the main site of Peirene’s worship. Curious enough, this spring is also on the game map… and it just so happens to be significant to the plot…the place we meet our favorite hetaera… Anthousa 👀

Coincidence? I think not.

Even more… our Sacred Cave sits loosely on the path between the spring on Akrokorinth and the fountain in Korinthia proper. AND its central chamber is full of water. This seems pretty decisive to me.

I’ve stumbled across a gem.

If Anthousa (and possibly the hetaera as a whole) revere Peirene and this cave is a place of a rawer connection to her, then maybe Brasidas’ plan is already deeper than I realized…

At this point, I think I have enough to craft something with actual roots.

BUT THEN….

Before writing the scene I went down to get a better look around and discovered it’s ALREADY being used for worship of a male deity. A HUGE snag in my theory.

That is… until I discovered the statue is Ares.

The whole thing was baffling, especially considering Ares’ common characterization and the reputation of Korinthia… The two seem very much at odds.

But ya know who in Korinthia WOULD worship Ares…? You know who would turn a sacred site of Peirene (the weeping mother) into an altar to the brutal, ruthless god of war, Ares?

The Monger 😳

And what makes Brasidas think we could easily lure the Monger way down inside a dark, secluded cave?! Because it’s a place he ALREADY goes.

My mind is blown.

Holy Hell… And there’s too many weird in-game references and coincidences… it HAS to be intentional… SOMEBODY PLANNED THIS.

Brasidas’ plan is fucking BRILLIANT.

It’s sheer, undeniable poetry.

What’s the ONE way you could kill The Monger while defying Anthousa outright and still earn her respect… still walk away with the information you need?

You could spill The Monger’s blood on the sacred ground he defiled in the name of brutality and bloodlust.

You could restore Korinthia’s most famous mother to her rightful place and wash away The Monger’s power with her sacred tears, reclaiming the place of her rawest beauty and restoring her worship.

You could let the literal gore of the Monger wash up into the fountain, a sign for the whole city that his reign is unmistakably ended.

Its so logical. It’s so ‘cut the bullshit and get straight to the heart of the matter.’ It’s so fucking Brasidas…

The longer you sit on it, the more thematically layered and gorgeous and brilliant it becomes. And it’s just plausible enough for the player to gamble on… exchanging Anthousa’s plan for something less theatrical, but more personal, more meaningful. And saving lives in the process. Its crazy enough to work.

I’m CONVINCED this whole web is somebody’s silent masterpiece. And yet somehow it never became more than subtext (excuse me while I shake my fist at the sky).

AND this SAME CHARACTER… At Amphipolis… takes my CASUAL COMMENT and is like, ���Hey, FUCK strategy, let’s just run over there RIGHT NOW on a whim ‘cause you said so!!!”

Can you say plot hole?!

WTF Ubisoft?! 🤣

Odyssey… the perfect balance of STUNNING depth of detail and WILD, GLARING gaps… a writer’s playground! I’m completely hooked by the intricacy and completely frustrated by … basically everything else!

So… if you’re wondering what I’m up to for nanowrimo, I’m over here frantically patching holes and dumping water over the sides to keep this glorious ship just a tad above the waterline 🤣

Pediatric Cardiology: Addressing Heart Health in Children

Heart health is just as important for children as it is for adults. However, pediatric heart conditions can be quite different from those found in adults, often requiring specialized care from a pediatric cardiologist. Early detection and treatment of heart issues in children can significantly improve their quality of life and help prevent more serious problems later on.

In this blog, we will explore what pediatric cardiology is, common heart conditions in children, and how a cardiologist in Bhubaneswar can help manage these issues. If you're concerned about your child's heart health, knowing when to seek help and what to expect during treatment is crucial.

What is Pediatric Cardiology?

Pediatric cardiology is a branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating heart conditions in children, from newborns to teenagers. Unlike adult cardiologists who treat heart disease in adults, pediatric cardiologists have specialized training in the unique heart conditions that can affect children. These specialists are skilled in managing congenital heart defects, arrhythmias, and acquired heart diseases in younger patients.

Heart problems in children can be present from birth (congenital) or can develop later in life (acquired). The good news is that many heart conditions can be effectively managed or treated, especially when they are identified early.

Common Heart Conditions in Children

Congenital Heart Defects Congenital heart defects are heart conditions that a child is born with. These defects can involve structural issues with the heart, such as holes in the heart, abnormal heart valves, or defects in the heart chambers. Some common congenital heart defects include:

Atrial Septal Defect (ASD): A hole in the wall between the two upper chambers of the heart.

Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD): A hole in the wall between the two lower chambers of the heart.

Tetralogy of Fallot: A combination of four heart defects that affect the flow of blood through the heart.

These conditions may cause symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, or a blue tint to the skin (cyanosis). If left untreated, some congenital defects can lead to more serious heart complications as the child grows.

Arrhythmias Arrhythmias are irregular heart rhythms that can affect children. Some children may experience rapid heartbeats (tachycardia), slow heartbeats (bradycardia), or irregular heart rhythms. Symptoms of arrhythmias can include dizziness, fainting, or an abnormal heart rate. Arrhythmias can be managed with medication, lifestyle changes, or procedures like catheter ablation, which is minimally invasive.

Pediatric Hypertension High blood pressure, or hypertension, is often considered an adult condition, but it can also affect children. Pediatric hypertension may result from obesity, kidney problems, or as a side effect of certain medications. If left untreated, high blood pressure can lead to long-term heart damage. It’s important for parents to monitor their child’s blood pressure, especially if they have risk factors such as a family history of hypertension.

Kawasaki Disease Kawasaki disease is a rare condition that causes inflammation in the blood vessels, especially the coronary arteries. This can lead to serious heart complications if not treated. Symptoms include a high fever, rash, swollen hands and feet, and red eyes. Early treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) can help prevent heart damage in children with Kawasaki disease.

Rheumatic Heart Disease Rheumatic heart disease can develop after a child has a strep throat infection that is not properly treated. The body’s immune system may attack the heart valves, leading to damage. This condition is more common in areas with limited access to healthcare but can be prevented with timely treatment of strep infections.

When to See a Pediatric Cardiologist

If you notice any of the following symptoms in your child, it’s important to seek advice from a cardiologist in Bhubaneswar:

Unexplained fatigue or difficulty keeping up with physical activities

Frequent chest pain or discomfort

Shortness of breath or rapid breathing

Blue or pale skin, especially around the lips or fingertips

Swelling in the legs, ankles, or abdomen

Fainting or dizziness, especially during physical activity

Early intervention is key to managing pediatric heart conditions. The earlier a heart issue is diagnosed, the more effective treatment can be. A pediatric cardiologist will perform tests such as an echocardiogram, ECG, or ultrasound to evaluate the heart’s structure and function. Based on the findings, they may recommend medications, lifestyle changes, or surgical interventions if needed.

Treatment and Management

Treatment for heart conditions in children will depend on the specific diagnosis. For congenital heart defects, surgical procedures may be required to correct the problem, often performed when the child is very young. Some conditions, like arrhythmias, may be managed with medication or a pacemaker. For other conditions, like Kawasaki disease or rheumatic heart disease, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications may be used to reduce inflammation and prevent heart damage.

Parents should work closely with the pediatric cardiologist to understand the treatment plan and follow-up care necessary to ensure the child’s heart health is maintained over time.

Conclusion

Pediatric cardiology is an essential field of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating heart conditions in children. Whether dealing with congenital heart defects, arrhythmias, or other conditions, early detection and treatment can significantly improve outcomes for young patients. If your child is showing signs of heart problems, it’s important to consult with a skilled cardiologist in Bhubaneswar to ensure they receive the right care.

By working with a pediatric cardiologist, parents can help manage their child’s heart health and ensure they grow up with the best possible chance for a healthy future. Always prioritize regular check-ups and seek professional advice when in doubt about your child’s heart health.
