1. Introduction {#sec1}
===============

Heart tissue is particularly prone to the effects of systemic acidosis and hyperkalemia \[[@B1], [@B2]\]. Acidosis decreases myocardial contractibility by affecting the excitation-contraction coupling \[[@B1]\], and hyperkalemia causes depolarization of the cardiac-cell resting membrane potential, shortening of the action potential duration, and alterations in the conduction velocity \[[@B2]\]. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is considered one of the most serious acute complications of diabetes mellitus; it is characterized by hyperglycemia, metabolic acidosis, and increased total body ketone concentrations \[[@B3]\]. Despite volume depletion seen in DKA secondary to vomiting and reduced oral intake, serum potassium levels are typically high at presentation; this is because lack of insulin and the presence of acidosis cause a shift of potassium from the intracellular space to extracellular space which usually resolve with DKA treatment \[[@B3], [@B4]\]. Thus, as a consequence of the acid-base and potassium derangements, patients with DKA can present electrocardiographic alterations than can be transient and resolve with treatment.

2. Case Report {#sec2}
==============

A 48-year-old male presented to the emergency department with complaints of malaise and nausea. The past medical record was relevant for type 2 diabetes mellitus that was treated at the time with neutral protamine Hagedorn insulin. On initial examination, he had signs of severe dehydration and was polypneic; blood pressure was 80/60 mmHg, and heart rate was 125 bpm, with an oxygen saturation of 95% at room air. The capillary glucose level was 620 mg/dL; venous blood gases showed a metabolic acidosis with pH \< 6.94 and HCO~3~^−^ of 4.1 mEq/L. A severe DKA was diagnosed, and treatment was started with aggressive hydration and IV insulin. Initial electrolytes were Na^+^ 119.6 mEq/L, Cl^−^ 95 mEq/L, and K^+^ 5.7 mEq/L, and serum creatinine was 2.6 mg/dL; the anion gap was high, with 21 mmol/L. A 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) was performed and showed an ST-segment elevation of 4 millimeters in V1 and V2 leads and 1 millimeter elevation in aVR lead; also, there was a QRS complex widening and tall T-waves in V3-V5 ([Figure 1](#fig1){ref-type="fig"}). Concerns were raised of possible myocardial infarction as the precipitant factor for the DKA. A cardiology consult was required, and a point-of-care cardiac ultrasound was performed, which showed a normal left ventricular ejection fraction and no regional wall motion abnormalities, cardiac troponins where ordered and reported within the normal range. The patient continued on management. After 1 hour and 30 minutes of treatment for DKA, a subsequent ECG was performed, and it showed a complete resolution of the ST-segment elevation ([Figure 2](#fig2){ref-type="fig"}). DKA was resolved, and the patient was admitted for monitoring, with a favorable evolution.

3. Discussion {#sec3}
=============

Myocardial infarction is a known precipitant factor for DKA; it is responsible of about 1% of the cases, and along with congestive heart failure, it accounts for 28% of deaths in DKA \[[@B5]\]. According to clinical guideliness for diagnosis and treatment of myocardial infarction, ST-segment elevation is considered suggestive of acute coronary obstruction if present in at least two contiguous leads (≥2.5 mm in men \< 40 years, ≥2 mm inmen ≥ 40 years, or ≥1.5 mm in women in leads V2-V3) and/or ≥1 mm in any other lead \[[@B6]\]. In the proper clinical context, patients with ST-segment elevation are candidates for reperfusion therapy, which must be instituted promptly since delay in treatment is associated with worst prognosis \[[@B6]\]. Evaluation of suspected myocardial infarction can be particularly challenging in diabetic patients, since they are more likely to present with atypical or little symptomatology \[[@B7]\].

Electrocardiographic alterations related to hyperkalemia are well described \[[@B8]\]. Their presence and presentation depend on the potassium level and also on the rate of raise, acid-base status, other electrolyte disturbances, and medications \[[@B8], [@B9]\]. Tall, tent-shaped T-waves are the earliest manifestations with mild hyperkalemia (5.5--6.5 mEq/L). With moderate hyperkalemia (6.5--8 mEq/L), a prolonged PR interval, decreased P-wave amplitude, and widening of the QRS complex can be seen. With severe hyperkalemia (\>8 mEq/L) there is absence of P-wave, intra- and interventricular conduction blocks, progressive widening of the QRS complex and eventually ventricular fibrillation and asystole. A pseudomyocardial infarction pattern has been described in patients with DKA and hyperkalemia \[[@B9]--[@B13]\]. Bellazzini and Meyer reviewed 24 cases of pseudomyocardial infarction in DKA with hyperkalemia reported in the literature \[[@B9]\]. They found that an anteroseptal pattern is the most common presentation (79.2%), followed by a combination of anteroseptal and inferior distribution (12.5%). Of note, 23 of the 24 cases presented with a mean potassium concentration of 8.1 mEq/L. In all these cases, there was no echocardiographic or angiographic finding suggestive of real myocardial ischemia, and there was a complete resolution of electrocardiographic abnormalities after metabolic improvement. There is only one case described in the literature that presented with a pseudomyocardial infarction pattern and normal potassium levels \[[@B10]\]. According to our literature review, no cases of a pseudomyocardial infarction pattern in DKA with mild hyperkalemia have been reported. Possible explanations for the presence of ST-segment elevation in the absence of severe hyperkalemia are the concomitant acid-base disturbances present in our patient, other electrolyte alterations, and possibly a slow coronary blood flow secondary to elevated blood viscosity as a consequence of hyperglycemia \[[@B14]\].

4. Conclusion {#sec4}
=============

We present an uncommon electrocardiographic alteration in a patient with severe DKA. Myocardial infarction should always be considered as a possible precipitant of DKA in diabetic patients, but clinicians must be able to recognize when electrocardiographic abnormalities suggestive of myocardial ischemia are related to metabolic derangements in order to avoid unnecessary diagnostic procedures and treatments and also to promptly recognize those patients with actual ongoing ischemia that may benefit from a coronary percutaneous intervention or IV thrombolysis. Normal levels of myocardial necrosis biomarkers, the absence of echocardiographic and angiographic alterations suggestive of myocardial ischemia, and resolution of electrocardiographic alterations with the metabolic control can be reassuring, but close monitoring of the patient during treatment and after resolution is crucial.

Lesson: Introduction to Antiangiogenesis Agents

**Objective:** In this lesson, we will learn about antiangiogenesis agents, which are drugs that help prevent the growth of new blood vessels. These drugs are used to treat cancer because tumors need new blood vessels to grow and spread. We will cover the definition of antiangiogenesis agents, their mechanisms of action, and their applications in cancer treatment.

**Section 1: Definition and Mechanism of Action**

Antiangiogenesis agents are drugs that help prevent the formation of new blood vessels. They work by targeting specific proteins involved in the growth of new blood vessels. One such protein is Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), which is often overproduced in cancer cells. Antiangiogenesis agents can also target other proteins involved in blood vessel growth, such as Fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (FLT1) and Fms-related tyrosine kinase 1 (Flk-1).

**Section 2: Applications in Cancer Treatment**

Antiangiogenesis agents are used in cancer treatment to prevent the growth and spread of tumors. They can be used alone or in combination with other cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Some common antiangiogenesis agents include bevacizumab, pazopanib, and sunitinib. These drugs are typically used to treat certain types of cancer, such as lung, kidney, and colon cancer.

**Section 3: Examples and Practical Applications**

Bevacizumab is an example of an antiangiogenesis agent that works by binding to VEGF. It is commonly used to treat lung, colon, and ovarian cancer. Pazopanib is another antiangiogenesis agent that targets VEGF, as well as other proteins involved in blood vessel growth. It is used to treat kidney cancer. Sunitinib is an antiangiogenesis agent that targets several proteins involved in blood vessel growth, including VEGF, FLT1, and Flk-1. It is used to treat kidney and pancreatic cancer.

**Conclusion:** In this lesson, we learned about antiangiogenesis agents, their mechanisms of action, and their applications in cancer treatment. We saw examples of antiangiogenesis agents and how they work to prevent the growth and spread of tumors. This knowledge can be applied to new problems in cancer treatment and prevention.

**Glossary:**
- Antiangiogenesis agents: Drugs that help prevent the formation of new blood vessels.
- Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF): A protein often overproduced in cancer cells that promotes blood vessel growth.
- Fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (FLT1): A protein involved in blood vessel growth that can be targeted by antiangiogenesis agents.
- Fms-related tyrosine kinase 1 (Flk-1): Another protein involved in blood vessel growth that can be targeted by antiangiogenesis agents.

Phagocytosis of the Legionnaires' disease bacterium (Legionella pneumophila) occurs by a novel mechanism: engulfment within a pseudopod coil.
Phagocytosis of Legionella pneumophila, a bacterial pathogen that multiplies intracellularly in human mononuclear phagocytes and causes Legionnaires' disease, occurs by a novel mechanism. A phagocyte pseudopod coils around the bacterium as the organism is internalized. Human monocytes, alveolar macrophages, and polymorphonuclear leukocytes all phagocytize L. pneumophila by this unusual process, termed "coiling phagocytosis," and these leukocytes phagocytize not only live L. pneumophila in this way, but also formalin-killed, glutaraldehyde-killed, and heat-killed L. pneumophila. In contrast, under the same experimental conditions, monocytes phagocytize Streptococcus pneumoniae, encapsulated and unencapsulated E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas alcaligenes, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Neisseria meningitidis by conventional phagocytosis. Treatment of L. pneumophila with high-titer anti-L. pneumophila antibody abolishes coiling phagocytosis; such bacteria are internalized by conventional phagocytosis. These experiments raise the possibility that a surface component of L. pneumophila mediates the unusual response by the phagocyte. Such a component, if elaborated in vivo, might be responsible for extrapulmonary manifestations of Legionnaires' disease suspected of being toxin-mediated.

Lesson: Phagocytosis - A Cellular Defense Mechanism Against Pathogens

Introduction:
Phagocytosis is a cellular defense mechanism that plays a crucial role in the immune system. It involves the engulfment and destruction of pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses, by specialized cells called phagocytes. In this lesson, we will learn about the process of phagocytosis, its importance in the immune system, and the different types of phagocytes involved in this process.

Section 1: What is Phagocytosis?
Phagocytosis is a process in which specialized cells called phagocytes engulf and destroy pathogens. This process is essential for the immune system to protect the body from infections and diseases.

Question: Why is phagocytosis important for the immune system?
Answer: Phagocytosis is important for the immune system because it helps to eliminate pathogens from the body. It prevents the spread of infections and diseases, thereby protecting the body from harm.

Section 2: Types of Phagocytes
There are different types of phagocytes, each with specific functions in the immune system. Some of the common types of phagocytes include:

1. Neutrophils - These are the most abundant type of white blood cells. They are responsible for detecting and eliminating pathogens in the bloodstream.

2. Macrophages - These are large cells that engulf and destroy pathogens. They are found in tissues throughout the body and play a crucial role in the immune response.

3. Dendritic cells - These cells are responsible for capturing and presenting antigens to T cells, which then activate the adaptive immune response.

Question: What is the difference between phagocytes and other types of white blood cells?
Answer: Phagocytes are a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in the immune response. While other types of white blood cells, such as lymphocytes, are involved in the adaptive immune response, phagocytes are responsible for the innate immune response.

Section 3: Process of Phagocytosis
The process of phagocytosis involves several steps, including:

1. Recognition - Phagocytes recognize and bind to pathogens using specific receptors on their surface.

2. Engulfment - The phagocyte engulfs the pathogen within a membrane-bound vesicle called a phagosome.

3. Destruction - The phagosome fuses with a lysosome, which contains enzymes that break down and destroy the pathogen.

4. Degradation - The remains of the pathogen are degraded and expelled from the cell.

Question: How does the process of phagocytosis differ between different types of phagocytes?
Answer: The process of phagocytosis can vary between different types of phagocytes. For example, neutrophils use a process called phagocytosis, while macrophages use a process called pinocytosis. Additionally, dendritic cells capture and present antigens to T cells, which then activate the adaptive immune response.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, phagocytosis is a crucial process in the immune system that involves the engulfment and destruction of pathogens by specialized cells called phagocytes. There are different types of phagocytes, each with specific functions in the immune response. The process of phagocytosis involves recognition, engulfment, destruction, and degradation of the pathogen. Understanding this process is essential for developing effective treatments and preventive measures against infections and diseases.

Glossary:
- Phagocyte: A specialized cell that engulfs and destroys pathogens.
- Pathogen: A microorganism that causes disease or illness.
- Antigen: A foreign substance that triggers an immune response.
- Lysosome: A membrane-bound organelle containing digestive enzymes.

Series: Dragnets Tracking Censorship and Surveillance

The NSA is a "supercomputing powerhouse" with machines so powerful their speed is measured in thousands of trillions of operations per second. The agency turns its giant machine brains to the task of sifting through unimaginably large troves of data its surveillance programs capture.

But ask the NSA, as part of a freedom of information request, to do a seemingly simple search of its own employees' email? The agency says it doesn’t have the technology.

"There's no central method to search an email at this time with the way our records are set up, unfortunately," NSA Freedom of Information Act officer Cindy Blacker told me last week.

The system is “a little antiquated and archaic," she added.

I filed a request last week for emails between NSA employees and employees of the National Geographic Channel over a specific time period. The TV station had aired a friendly documentary on the NSA and I want to better understand the agency's public-relations efforts.

A few days after filing the request, Blacker called, asking me to narrow my request since the FOIA office can search emails only “person by person," rather than in bulk. The NSA has more than 30,000 employees.

I reached out to the NSA press office seeking more information but got no response.

It’s actually common for large corporations to do bulk searches of their employees email as part of internalinvestigations or legal discovery.

“It’s just baffling,” says Mark Caramanica of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. “This is an agency that’s charged with monitoring millions of communications globally and they can’t even track their own internal communications in response to a FOIA request.”

Federal agencies’ public records offices are often underfunded, according to Lucy Dalglish, dean of the journalism school at University of Maryland and a longtime observer of FOIA issues.

But, Dalglish says, “If anybody is going to have the money to engage in evaluation of digital information, it’s the NSA for heaven’s sake.”

For more on the NSA, read our story on the agency’s tapping of Internet cables, our fact-check on claims about the NSA and Sept. 11, and our timeline of surveillance law.

In a typical consumable electrode arc welding, welding is performed by feeding a welding wire as a consumable electrode at a constant feeding rate and generating an arc between the welding wire and base material. In the consumable electrode arc welding, both the welding wire and the base material are mostly placed in a welding state in which a short-circuiting period and an arc period are alternately repeated.
In order to further improve welding quality, there has been proposed a welding method of alternating feeding of the welding wire between forward feeding and reverse feeding periodically (see Patent Document 1, for example). Hereinafter this welding method will be explained.
FIG. 4 is a waveform diagram of the welding method in which the forward feeding and the reverse feeding are alternated periodically as to a feeding rate. (A) of this figure shows a waveform of a feeding rate Fw, (B) of this figure shows a waveform of a welding current Iw and (C) of this figure shows a waveform of a welding voltage Vw. Hereinafter explanation will be made with reference to this figure.
As shown in (A) of this figure, in the feeding rate Fw, an upper side and a lower side than 0 represent a forward feeding period and a reverse feeding period, respectively. The forward feeding represents feeding of the welding wire in a direction approaching the base material, whilst the reverse feeding represents feeding of the welding wire in a direction separating from the base material. The feeding rate Fw has a waveform which changes sinusoidalty and shifts on the forward feeding side. Thus as an average value of the feeding rate Fw is positive, the welding wire is fed forwardly in average.
As shown in (A) of this figure, the feeding rate Fw is 0 at a time t1. A period from the time t1 to a time t2 corresponds to a forward feeding acceleration period. The feeding rate is the maximum value of the forward feeding at the time t2. A period from the time t2 to a time t3 corresponds to a forward feeding deceleration period. The feeding rate is 0 at the time t3. A period from the time t3 to a time t4 corresponds to a reverse feeding acceleration period. The feeding rate is the maximum value of the reverse feeding at the time t4. A period from the time t4 to a time t5 corresponds to a reverse feeding deceleration period. Then a period from the time t5 to a time t6 is the forward feeding acceleration period again, and a period from the time t6 to a time t7 is the forward feeding deceleration period again. Thus the feeding rate Fw periodically changes according to a feeding rate pattern. This pattern is constituted of a cycle Tf (ms) from the time t1 to the time t5, an amplitude Wf (mm/min) as a difference between the maximum value of the forward feeding at the time t2 and the maximum value of the reverse feeding at the time t4 and a forward-feeding side shift amount Sf (mm/min) which are respectively set to individual predetermined values.
Short circuit between the welding wire and the base material occurs mostly before or after the maximum value of the forward feeding at the time t2. This figure shows a case where the short circuit occurs at a time t21 in the forward feeding deceleration period after the maximum value of the forward feeding. If the short circuit occurs at the time t21, the welding voltage Vw rapidly reduces to a short-circuit voltage value of a few volts as shown in (C) of this figure, whilst the welding current Iw increases gradually as shown in (B) of this figure.
As shown in (A) of this figure, from the time t3, as the feeding rate Fw is placed in the reverse feeding period, the welding wire is reversely fed. The short circuit is released by this reverse feeding, and hence an arc is regenerated at a time t31. The arc is regenerated mostly before or after the maximum value of the reverse feeding at the time t4. This figure shows a case where the arc is generated at the time t31 in the reverse feeding acceleration period before the peak value of the reverse feeding. Thus a time period from the time t21 to the time t31 corresponds to the short-circuiting period.
If the arc is regenerated at the time t31, the welding voltage Vw increases rapidly to an arc voltage value of several tens of volts as shown in (C) of this figure. As shown in (B) of this figure, the welding current Iw starts changing from the maximum value state in the short-circuiting period.
As shown in (A) of this figure, during a period from the time t31 to the time t5, as the feeding rate Fw is in the reverse feeding state, the welding wire is raised and hence a length of the arc becomes longer gradually. If the arc length becomes longer, the welding voltage Vw increases, and hence the welding current Iw reduces due to a constant voltage control. Thus during a reverse feeding period Tar in the arc period from the time t31 to the time t5, the welding voltage Vw increases gradually as shown in (C) of this figure, whilst the welding current Iw reduces gradually as shown in (B) of this figure.
Then the next short circuit occurs at a time t61 within the forward feeding deceleration period from the time t6 to the time t7, The short circuit occurred at the time t61 is later in a time (phase) from the maximum value of the forward feeding than the short circuit occurred at the time t21. In this manner, the occurrence timing of short circuit has a certain degree of valiance. A time period from the time t31 to the time t61 corresponds to the arc period. As shown in (A) of this figure, during a period from the time t5 to the time t61, as the feeding rate Fw is in the forward feeding state, the welding wire is forwardly fed and hence a length of the arc becomes shorter gradually. If the arc length becomes shorter, the welding voltage Vw reduces, and hence the welding current Iw increases due to the constant voltage control. Thus during a forward feeding period Tas in the arc period from the time t5 to the time t61, the welding voltage Vw reduces gradually as shown in (C) of this figure, whilst the welding current Iw increases gradually as shown in (B) of this figure.
As described above, in the welding method of repeating the forward feeding and the reverse feeding of the welding wire alternately, the repetition cycle of short circuit and arc can be set to a desired value despite that such the setting is impossible in the related art of the feeding at a constant feeding rate. Thus a generation amount of spatter can be reduced, and improvement of welding quality such as improvement of bead appearance can be achieved.
According to the invention of the patent document 1, an average value of the feeding rate is adjusted according to a welding current setting value, and a repetition frequency and an amplitude of the forward feeding and the reverse feeding of the welding wire are adjusted to individual values according to the welding current setting value. As a result, welding can be performed stably even if the welding current setting value changes.

Marcus Rashford is making it "easy" to draw comparisons with Cristiano Ronaldo, according to Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Rashford has scored 13 goals in his past 14 games for club and country including a penalty in United's 2-1 win over champions Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

Solskjaer was a player at Old Trafford as Ronaldo transformed from promising youngster into one of the best players in the world and the Norwegian said he believes Rashford is on the same upward trajectory.

"It's very easy to compare the two of them," Solskjaer said. "Both with skills, body shape, attitude, attributes -- everything.

"The boy has every chance in the world to become a top, top player. Lets hope he continues like this."

Rashford's derby goal moved him on to 10 in the Premier League and 13 in all competitions, matching his season's best tally with six months of the campaign still to play.

The 22-year-old has had most of his success as a left winger and Solskjaer said he is offering more to the team than just putting the ball in the net.

"I don't want to talk about the amount of goals," Solskjaer said. "As long as he keeps being positive and being direct and thinking about getting in front of the goal and getting chances, he'll score goals."

text: 1944... ***********. This is a time period of great sadness and racism that isn't talked about much, isn't taught enough about, and is heartbreaking to read about, listen to, and watch. A horrific time in history.. This historical thriller is set during World War II, in Auschwitz. In this story, it is focused on the physics professor who has a way to end the war, an atomic bomb. Even though this is during a very sad time in history, this book is very memorizing and compelling. He found a way to write a story during a very sad and traumatizing time in history and create a story line with sub-plots without making it emotionally difficult to read. It truly was a hard book to put down.. I do highly recommend this book to all.. I received this book from Netgalley for free in exchange for an honest review.
