Nobel Prize in medicine awarded to two cancer researchers for immune system breakthrough

The Nobel Prize in medicine was awarded to James Allison of MD Anderson Cancer Center and Tasuku Honjo of Kyoto University “for their discovery of cancer therapy by inhibition of negative immune regulation,” the Nobel committee announced on Monday in Stockholm.

It was a rare award for a key cancer breakthrough, in this case the discovery that the immune system can be tweaked to unleash the immune system’s tumor-attacking T cells.

September is Sepsis Awareness Month

Sepsis is a progressive shutdown of the body’s organs and systems caused by systemic inflammation following an infection that enters the blood or soft tissue. Those who don’t die often experience life-altering consequences like missing limbs or organ dysfunction. Studies have shown that early detection combined with appropriate interventions can significantly improve the chances of survival.

“T.I.M.E.” will help you recognize symptoms of Sepsis

Few people know that sepsis ranks as the third leading cause of death in the U.S. (after heart disease and cancer). Sepsis is the body’s toxic, or severe, response to an infection.  The condition has been mentioned in the media multiple times over the years, however there still is a lot of misinformation out there about it, including the incorrect idea that sepsis is rare.

NHS launches tool for hospitals to assess sepsis risk

The NHS in England has launched a tool that will enable hospitals to more accurately measure numbers of patients admitted as emergencies with severe bacterial infection who are at risk of sepsis, as part of efforts to improve sepsis prevention and reduce deaths.

How Antimicrobial Resistance Amplifies the Burden of Sepsis

Sepsis, a life-threatening condition caused by the body’s extreme reaction to an infection, has become a global health threat, affecting 30 million people worldwide and causing between six and nine million deaths each year. We need to do more to ensure this quiet killer is silent no more.

Happy Anniversary to the Love of My Life

                               Me and My Knight 9/28/74 

Happy Anniversary to the Love of My Life
Forty-four years ago today, September 28th,1974, I married the Love of my Life, My Knight,
But this year I no longer have a reason to celebrate the life we made together,
You were taken from me too soon, no more happy memories to make, only the memories from the past that we shared,
All the things we did together to make this house you loved so much a home,
The family we raised, the grandchildren we cherish,
We laughed together, we cried together, through the good times and the bad, supporting each other in everything we did,
The only person I could ever count on, the only person I ever will,
We loved each other unconditionally, no matter what life threw at us,
We were always each other’s rock, I’ll never have that again,
I am so lost without you, we did everything together, I feel so alone and unhappy,
Our Love will last FOREVER, even in death,
I long to hear your voice and see your smiling face, the happiness in your eyes,
My heart will never mend until I’m in your arms again,
I’m no longer the strong person I used to be, I’m half a person without you, my heart is broken in two,
Marriage vows say until death do we part, but our marriage will not end at death,
We will be married forever, husband and wife throughout eternity,
Praying that we will be reunited again when my time on earth is over,
The sooner the better, again we will be one,
Happy Anniversary to you my Knight and please never leave my side,
I can’t bare the thought of not feeling you close to me, please don’t ever go.
I Love you my Knight and I always will. I will never let you go. 

Love Always and Forever, Dot xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
