Covid 19 and the cardiovascular system implications for risk assessment dia...Ramachandra Barik
The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, caused by SARS-CoV-2, represents the greatest medical challenge in decades. We provide a comprehensive review of the clinical course of COVID-19, its comorbidities, and
mechanistic considerations for future therapies. While COVID-19 primarily affects the lungs, causing interstitial
pneumonitis and severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), it also affects multiple organs, particularly the
cardiovascular system. Risk of severe infection and mortality increase with advancing age and male sex. Mortality is
increased by comorbidities: cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, chronic pulmonary disease, and cancer.
The most common complications include arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachyarrhythmia, and ventricular
fibrillation), cardiac injury [elevated highly sensitive troponin I (hs-cTnI) and creatine kinase (CK) levels], fulminant
myocarditis, heart failure, pulmonary embolism, and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Mechanistically,
SARS-CoV-2, following proteolytic cleavage of its S protein by a serine protease, binds to the transmembrane
angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) —a homologue of ACE—to enter type 2 pneumocytes, macrophages,
perivascular pericytes, and cardiomyocytes. This may lead to myocardial dysfunction and damage, endothelial dysfunction, microvascular dysfunction, plaque instability, and myocardial infarction (MI). While ACE2 is essential for viral invasion, there is no evidence that ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) worsen prognosis.
Hence, patients should not discontinue their use. Moreover, renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors might be beneficial in COVID-19. Initial immune and inflammatory responses induce a severe cytokine storm
[interleukin (IL)-6, IL-7, IL-22, IL-17, etc.] during the rapid progression phase of COVID-19. Early evaluation and
continued monitoring of cardiac damage (cTnI and NT-proBNP) and coagulation (D-dimer) after hospitalization
may identify patients with cardiac injury and predict COVID-19 complications. Preventive measures
The whole world is under the threatens of respiratory disease caused by infections of coronavirus. The latest threat to global health is the ongoing outbreak of the respiratory disease that was recently given the name Coronavirus Disease This article trying to focus on the current outbreak of and explores the epidemiology, causes, clinical manifestation and diagnosis, and prevention and control of the novel coronavirus. The aim of this article to provide valid and reliable information and increasing awareness about the COVID 19.

Interpretation The potential risk factors of older age, high SOFA score, and d-dimer greater than 1 μg/mL could help
clinicians to identify patients with poor prognosis at an early stage. Prolonged viral shedding provides the rationale
for a strategy of isolation of infected patients and optimal antiviral interventions in the future.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Editor's Notes
The current COVID-19 is a beta.
Newest information is showing no bats within 30 miles of suspected transmission site of animal to human.
COVID-19 demonstrated to be small enough in size to be passed through respiratory droplets while talking.
Incubation = infectious period
Shedding = production of virus within body
Contact precautions: gloves and gown
Droplet precautions: gloves, gown, eye protection, and surgical mask
Airborne precautions: full body coverage + n95 mask (filters smaller particles)
ACE2 receptors are the key on COVID-19 and the lock is all the receptors also found within the body, thus allowing it entry to many organs
Down-regulation of ACE2 (angiotension converting enzyme 2) from COVID19.
If you minimize function of ACE2 you get excess inflammation, water retention, fibrosis of tissues, etc..
Many MAS receptors are located in lungs, brain, heart, bone marrow, muscle
ACE2 down regulation therefore begins to affect multiple organs and shuts off the gate keeper mentality of the RAAS system.
This is why you hear of “multi-organ failure”
Shortness of breath/cough/inc respiratory rate/pneumonia/dec oxygenation due to ACE2 attacking the respiratory cells of the lung and essentially inactivating them.
Renal failure due to dec renal perfusion and therefore acute kidney injury begins to cause failure from continued inhibition and no release of renin
Diarrhea due to ACE2 receptors located in intestine, inc inflammation/dilation/water retention in intestine thus loose stool
Myalgia due to ACE2 receptors located in bone marrow and muscle
Fever/headache due to ACE2 receptors located in brain/vessel smooth muscle and the rapid cascade of inflammatory proteins
Peak function of the body in all its components without external variables is 25-35 years of age. Therefore as you age, natural processes takes course and the body begins to not work at full optimal capacity.
Diabetes is directly related to the RAAS system and therefore poses the largest risk for individuals.
