# Blood pressure (OSCE)

Taking a Blood Pressure

## General

* No:
** smoking or caffeine x 30 mins
** constrictive clothing
* Yes:
** rest for ≥ 5 minutes
** breathing normal and relaxed
* During recording: no talking and patient’s legs uncrossed

## Equipment

* cuff size
** bladder width > 40 % of arm circumference
** length > 80% of arm circumference

## Positioning

* Level: devices and columns at eye level, patient’s arm held at heart level

## Placement

* lower edge of cuff ~ 3 cm above elbow crease
* bladder centered over brachial artery (palpate medial to biceps tendon)

## Performance

* palpate radial pulse (note arrythmias)
* inflate cuff to ~ 30 mm Hg above palpable pulse
* drop the pressure by 2 mm Hg / second (prolonged filling will lead to venous congestion, making the sounds harder to hear)
* repeat after ≥ 2 minutes of standing to assess for orthostatic hypotension (drop in 20/10)
* for all patients on the first visit, take at least 2 readings separated by 2 minutes
** if first 2 readings differ by > 5 mm Hg, another reading is indicated
** Elevated readings should be confirmed on 3 readings

## Pitfalls

* anxiety, pain
* arrhythmias
* wrong cuff size (too small overestimates, too large underestimates)
* Isolated office hypertension ('white coat' hypertension) (up to 25%)
* exercise

## JNC-7 Classification

(criteria for adults > 17 and not taking antihypertensives)
* Optimal
* Normal < 120 SBP and < 80 DBP
* Prehypertension 120-139 SBP or 80-89 DBP
* Hypertension Stage 1 140-159 SBP or 90-99 DBP
* Hypertension Stage 2 >or=160 or >or=100
# Blood transfusion
## Blood transfusion

Blood transfusion is a kind of transplant in which whole blood or blood cells are transferred intravenously into the host circulation. Transfusions allow the replacement of blood loss due to hemorrhages and help to correct the secondary defects of insufficient production of blood cells associated with different diseases.
The main obstacle to a successful blood transfusion is the immune response to cell surface molecules which are different among subjects. The most important system of alloantigen for blood transfusion is ABO. ABO antigens are expressed in all cells, including erythrocytes. People who do not have a specific blood-group antigen synthesize naturals IgM antibodies against this antigen. When these people receive blood cells that express the antigen that they do not have, presynthesized antibodies will join the transfused cells, the complement system will be activated and it will produce the lysis of cells. The lysis of the foreign erythrocytes results in a transfusion reaction, which could be potentially lethal.
The choice of donor’s blood for a particular receptor must take into account the antigens of the blood groups. Most people express the H antigen therefore they do not synthesize anti-H antibodies. People who express A or B antigens do not synthesize anti-A or anti-B antibodies, respectively. However, OO and AO people produce anti-B IgM while OO and BO people synthesize anti-A IgM. The consequence is that AB patients can tolerate transfusions from all possible donors, therefore they are called universal receptors; at the same time, OO patients can only tolerate OO donors` transfusions, but they can provide blood to all receptors, therefore they are called universal donors.
The Rhesus antigen (Rh) is another important antigen of erythrocytes which could cause a transfusion reaction. Although there do not exist natural antibodies against Rh antigens, people who do not express the Rhesus D antigen (Rh) (about 15% of the population) could be sensitized against this antigen and they could produce anti-Rh antibodies when they receive blood transfusions from donors who express RhD. Transfusion reactions will take place after the second Rh-positive blood transfusion.

# Blogging/Starting a blog
## How to start a blog
### Become one with the Internet

1. What are you interested in? In order to begin blogging, you must identify what it is exactly you want to write about. Do you want your blog to be personal or a textbook of information? Do you like cooking or understanding and helping others understand mathematical algorithms? What kind of blog do you want to have: travel? lifestyle? fashion? photography? Choose to write about something that interests you. It doesn't have to be of something you're confident about. The confidence comes with practice.
2. What blog platform do you want to use? There are several kinds of blog platforms: Blogger, WordPress, Tumblr, Google+ and others. Look at different blogs that use each platform. Then, set up a test blog on the ones you're most interested in to get a better feel of what it would be like to run a blog on that platform. From there, choose which one you like best and develop your blog.
3. What kind of feel do you want it to have? Personal? Informative? Identifying this will help you develop your writing style. This will also help you write more freely.
4. What do you want your blog to look like? Like in step 2, check out some blogs. Jot down things you like about them, like black background, big pictures, anything at all. Then, again, highlight the ones you like best and apply them to your blog. If you don't know how to do it (like installing endless scrolling), Google it.
5. Start writing! This can be the hardest, most enjoyable, most rewarding part of the whole process. Writing and expression yourself and your ideas is an invigorating thing. Try not to over-think what you're writing in the first draft. Just let your thoughts spill out onto the virtual paper. From there, you can develop/delete ideas and add new ones on.
# COVID-19/Jan Barkmann

Model of COVID-19 spread for Germany using data form Jan-22 to March 30, 2020.

## Methods

I have produced a projection on COVID-19 spread for Germany based on
(1) a logistic growth model
(2) fitted to the Johns Hopkins University data on known/reported infection cases.
The calculation was done wth SPSS' non-linear regression. Testing the method on the data from Hubei Province/Wuhan gave a model fit (R2) of 99,5%. Fitting the German data from Jan-22 to March-30 gave a model fit of 99,9%.

## Results

Main result: By end of the end of April 2020, the maximum of the current (March 30, 2020) epidemic wave may effectally be reached with an estimated 102,000 cases of reported infections. The 95% confidence interval rages from ~95,000 to 109,000 cases.

## Caveats

* validity of results depends on long list of conditions among which are
* logistic growth model works sufficiently well to describe COVID-19 epidemic in Germany
** Wuhan/Hubei data fit was 99,5 %
* validity of results depends on validity of the data used
* projected maximum is maximum of known cases; actual number of infections is much higher
* a new infection mechanism may show up that is not reflected in the data up to March 30, 2020
* Here, we model only the first wave of infections. Later-on, 60-80 % of the entire population may still get infected.

## Attention!

This calculation may be completely wrong in the sense that the next few weeks play out completely differently!
The results implicitly assume that people do NOT change their protective behavior based on these (or other) projections that give some hope.
If people would take it more easily, the projection is guaranteed to be too optimistic.
Best read as a best case scenario, in which no new sources of infections show up and people continue to self-isolate, wash their hands, … , and strictly follow public health rules.

### You're Unique and Yet so Similar...

A good friend in New York took her husband to the hospital. The medical staff quarantined him immediately without letting her say goodbye to him. She is grateful to be healthy and that she could take care of their daughter at home. However, she struggled to calm her worries.
We have our own unique story here in North Carolina, and I’m sure you have a unique set of conditions and configurations too, but we’re facing the same challenge with how to manage our stress when our loved ones are quarantined in the hospital.

## 6 Ways to Managed Escalated Anxiety
### 1. Manage Screen Time and Sources

Do: Limit your exposure to news coverage of the event, including social media. Get updates only from reputable sources, and schedule the times.
Don’t: Leave the news on, or check all the time: Bombarding your brain with repeated exacerbated news sources escalates your anxiety.

### 2. Write Down and Validate Emotion

Do: Name your emotions and write them down in your journal. It is normal to feel extremely stressed during this time. Recognizing your emotions will help you manage them.
Don’t: Feel bad for feeling stressed.

### 3. Maintain Routines and Set New Routines

Do: Try to keep up with regular routines. Create a schedule for self-care routines, grocery shopping and medication refills.
Don’t: Stay indoors all the time, or let stay up later and later and sleep in all day. Losing routine adds stress, and regular sleep protects your health.

### 4. Take Care of Yourself

Do: Take a hot bath, get plenty of sleep, exercise, and eat well. Exercise self-care lowers our anxiety, at any time. Practice mindfulness, yoga or deep breathing if this has helped you. Give yourself a break to take care of yourself.

### 5. Be Even More Connected

Do: Connect with your friends and family members using video conferencing, phone calls, texting. Stay even more connected with people who love you on regular intervals and let them know we are here for each other.
Don’t: Let physical distancing turn into social isolation.

### 6. Practice Gratitude

Do: Make a list the things and people you are grateful for. Take action to say or write a heartful thank you notes to people you care or medical staff. Act on kindness reduces your anxiety significantly.
Don’t: Focus only on what could go wrong, or what is challenging.

## A Message from Our Team

Fellow Carolinians, we at the UNC Psychology and Neuroscience department know how challenging it is to juggle so much worry regarding CoVid-19. Just like you, we’re needing to cope and adjust too! These tips aren’t meant to be a comprehensive. However, we hope these ideas can help you and your family members immediately. We’ve included additional guidance and contacts below to address broader support. Let’s be strong and resilient together!

# COVID-19/Efficacy of lockdown

This learning resource is about the efficacy of lockdowns. A lockdown has a massive impact on society and economy, unlike other epidemiological risk mitigation strategies like wearing mask and raising awareness of importance of protective measures (see Risk Literacy).

## Review of Publication

The efficacy of lockdowns imposed by governments can be investigated. What can be investigated is the statistically measurable impact of lockdowns on relevant outcomes such as mortality rate.
