Reye syndrome

Reye syndrome is a rapidly worsening brain disease.[2] Symptoms of Reye syndrome may include vomiting, personality changes, confusion, seizures, and loss of consciousness.[1] While liver toxicity typically occurs in the syndrome, jaundice usually does not.[2] Death occurs in 20–40% of those affected with Reye syndrome, and about a third of those who survive are left with a significant degree of brain damage.[2][3]

The cause of Reye syndrome is unknown.[2] It usually begins shortly after recovery from a viral infection, such as influenza or chickenpox.[1] About 90% of cases in children are associated with aspirin (salicylate) use.[2] Inborn errors of metabolism are also a risk factor.[3] The syndrome is associated with changes on blood tests such as a high blood ammonia level, low blood sugar level, and prolonged prothrombin time.[2] Often, the liver is enlarged in those who have the syndrome.[2]

Prevention is typically by avoiding the use of aspirin in children.[1] When aspirin was withdrawn for use in children in the US and UK in the 1980s, a decrease of more than 90% in rates of Reye syndrome was observed.[2] Early diagnosis of the syndrome improves outcomes.[1] Treatment is supportive;[1] mannitol may be used to help with the brain swelling.[2]

The first detailed description of Reye syndrome was in 1963 by Australian pathologist Douglas Reye.[4] The syndrome most commonly affects children.[2] It affects fewer than one in a million children a year.[2] The general recommendation to use aspirin in children was withdrawn because of Reye syndrome, with use only recommended in Kawasaki disease.[3]

I had this. I was around 2, 1973. In Germany (my dad was stationed at Hahn AFB. Doctors told my mom I likely wasn't going to survive. I was basically in a coma, so either stage 3 or 4 (out of 5). I pulled through though! No long term side effects, no brain damage (although some might disagree).

Her reaction and excitement about this tells me she was complicit in grooming and encouraging her daughter to do this.

Anyone know what “leaks” these are about?

Weren't there also leaks within one of the alphabet agencies that were giving illegals a heads up about where ICE was striking next?

We need to have a Maryland Man vs Minnesota Man cage match.

I think the match would be neck and neck at first, but eventually Minnesota Man wins.

So you’re gay? Not that there is anything wrong with that.

I had to get gas to mow my lawn the other day.. forgot my wallet at home. But I had $3 in my center console

Walking into that gas station and saying $3 on pump 4” made me feel so damn poor

Back when I was like 21, me and a buddy were broke but wanted to go out. I called my cousin who owed me like $40 and he said he would meet us at Jacks in PA (we were living in Tigerland). My buddy's truck's gas gauge was broke, and he knew from the mileage he was close to empty. We ran out of gas coming down the MRB and literally coasted into the Chevron at the foot of the bridge. We scrounged around his truck and managed to find 25 cents. Not a quarter, but 25 cents in mixed changed. I made him go pay. :lol:

How ridiculous. This judge is a moron.

So the first amendment guarantees the right to have access to political press conferences? Wow.

---

No, it says you can't kick someone out because of a differing political viewpoint.

quote:

So using that standard, I and every other American also have the right to attend WH press conferences. They should hold them in a stadium.

---

Not necessary, thousands of journalists are not allowed, for other reasons, but NOT because they have a differing political viewpoint.

I just literally encouraged him to go flex his first amendment right of freedom of press, dummy

And I responded, respectfully, you know, without name calling. What's up with you? You think because I disagree with one move Trump made that makes me anti-Trump or something?

blacks won't be able to vote if ID is required

So she is OK with blacks not being able to drive, fly, cash a check, rent a car, buy alcohol, go to a bar? But the line she is drawing is voting? She's cool with everything else they can't do without an ID?
