For some desperate COVID patients, lung transplants are the best chance at survival | Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Mr. Franklin is one of a growing number of patients who need transplants after having their lungs ravaged by the coronavirus. UPMC has so far performed six lung transplants on COVID-19 patients, including Mr. Franklin, and is evaluating several more patients. Most of them need double-lung transplants because both lungs get infected and suffer profound damage.
Nationally, about 10% of lung transplants now go to COVID-19 patients, according to data provided to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette from the United Network for Organ Sharing, or UNOS. Last year, 268 out of 2,524 total lung transplants performed in the United States were due to COVID-19. In all, around 400 people across the country have received lung transplants because of the virus since the pandemic began.
A transplant is a last-resort option for patients whose lungs are irreversibly damaged. The procedure is risky and involves a lifetime of taking anti-rejection drugs that suppress the immune system. But without it, these patients would die from COVID-19 complications.
With more patients in need of lungs than there are organs available, such transplants also raise questions about how donor organs should be allocated, especially since some people who need them were unvaccinated by choice. Mr. Franklin didn’t get the COVID-19 vaccine because he had questions about its safety and effectiveness.
“It might be one of the biggest mistakes I’ve ever made,” he said.

Plant-based spray promises to replace plastic packaging – Mágica Mistura を
In order to produce ecologically friendly alternatives for food packaging, a group of scientists from Rutgers and Harvard universities in the USA developed a biodegradable herbal coating. It can be sprayed on food, protecting it from microorganisms and possible damage during transport.
“We knew that we needed to get rid of oil-based food packaging and replace it with something more sustainable, biodegradable and non-toxic” , account Philip Demokritou, one of the research participants , published last Monday (20) in the scientific journal Nature Food. “And we ask ourselves at the same time:‘ We can design packaging that extends the useful life and reduces food waste, improving food security.”‘?

Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.

Art is standing with one hand extended into the universe and one hand extended into the world, and letting ourselves be a conduit for passing energy.

Florbela Espanca
A mocidade esplêndida, vibrante,
Ardente, extraordinária, audaciosa,
Que vê num cardo a folha duma rosa,
Na gota de água o brilho duma diamante;
Essa que fez de mim Judeu Errante
Do espírito, a torrente caudalosa,
Do vendavais imã tempestuosa,
– Trago- a em mim vermelha, triunfante!
No meu sangue rubis correm dispersos:
– Chamas subindo ao alto nos meus versos,
Papoilas nos meus lábios a flor!
Ama- me doida, estonteadoramente,
Ó meu Amor! que o coração da gente
É tão pequeno…e a vida, água a fugir…
