The graduate of a gynecologist and obstetrician in San José dies of coronavirus at the age of 28

PHILADELPHIA - A Saint Joseph University graduate and obstetrician / gynecologist recently died of coronavirus.

Adeline Fagan, class of 2014, died on Saturday in Houston, Texas. He was 28 years old.

In a social media post about Fagan's death, the school said it "lived her life like a hawk with and for others".

Fagan began his sophomore year as an OB / GYN doctor in Texas when he contracted the coronavirus, according to a GoFundMe page created by his family to help out with medical supplies, travel, and other expenses.

It was around July 8th, and on August 3rd she was intubated and put on a ventilator.

Then, on August 4th, doctors placed her on an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine, often used in the worst cases of coronavirus.

According to his father, Brant Fagan, Fagan was fine a few days before his death.

But at around 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, health officials told the family that he had a massive brain hemorrhage that needed treatment. The bleeding was from the virus that was affecting his vascular system.

However, his neurosurgeon said he had a "one-in-a-million chance" of surviving the procedure that would solve the problem. Even if he survived, the surgeon told his family that he would have several severe cognitive and sensory impairments.

"Everyone was depressed by the events, the nurses, the doctors and, of course, us," his father wrote. "We spent the remaining minutes hugging, comforting and talking to Adeline. And then the world stopped ..."

Brant Fagan thanked everyone who has supported his daughter over the past few months.

"If there is anything you can do, be an 'Adeline' in the world," he wrote. "Have a passion for helping the less fortunate, have a smile on your face, a laugh in your heart, and a Disney air on your lips."

The GoFundMe page had a goal of $ 150,000. As of Wednesday morning, approximately 3,500 people raised more than $ 180,000.

The truth behind the little black dots on kitchen tiles

The warmer months in Australia can only mean one thing ... spiders. And if you noticed small random drops in your home at this time of year, it turns out that there is a connection.

A woman desperate for answers to the sinister black dots on her kitchen tiles went online for help and initially said she hadn't thought of them.

But when more showed up, he reached out to a popular Facebook group for advice.

"Does anyone have any idea what these brands could be?" He asked members of the British group, Ms. Hinch's cleaning tips , along with a photo.

There was an overwhelming response from many people claiming this was spider poop (yes, spider poop). But were the claims true?

Dieter Hochuli, ecologist and professor at the University of Sydney, confirmed to news.com.au that the blackheads are actually spider droppings.

"Spider and fly droppings look the same, and those little spots are droppings that are rich in liquid nitrogen," Professor Hochuli told news.com.au.

"To be honest, I saw them in my house too."

He said the stains on Australian homes are common around this time as warmer weather approaches, but there is nothing to worry about.

"You have no public health risk," said Professor Hochuli, adding, "We live in our daily lives surrounded by hundreds of spiders."

Online the reaction to the dots was overwhelming after the original poster said she noticed the dots appear in "small random dots" around her house.

"This morning it was up on the computer we have in the kitchen," he wrote next to a photo of his tiles.

Many were quick to respond that the stains were spider droppings but that they were "easily washed away".

"Defo Spider Poop came through the door because of the light outside," wrote one member of the group.

"Look up and you will likely see a cobweb / spider," suggested another.

Not everyone agreed, however, and others claimed blackheads could be from flies.

"He really steals shit!" one person wrote.

"A lot happens this time of year, spiders poop everywhere, Dettox spray is good for that," said another.

Last September, another woman shared photos of a similar group of blackheads that were also seen on their baseboards and walls.

Professor Hochuli said people often mistake feces for coffee grounds, especially when standing on kitchen benches.

But if you look around the corners, you will likely see a spider hiding in the nooks and crannies.

To get rid of spider droppings, just use a standard sponge and wipe it off.

A perfect storm for very attentive and very distracted parents - increased use of cleaning agents ...

WASHINGTON , Sep 22, 2020 / PRNewswire / - As parents remain vigilant during the pandemic to keep their homes as clean as possible, the demand for cleaning products has increased. At the same time, the combination of more young children at home for virtual learning and parents and guardians focusing on multiple priorities at the same time results in less supervision and more calling. Poison Help Number regarding children's exposure to cleaning products.

For example, the number of exposures to hand sanitizer in poison control centers increased by 70% from January to August compared to the same period in 2019. This could be due in part to the fact that in the more time kids spend at home, the more alcohol-based hand sanitizer comes in containers that look like water bottles, baby food bags, beer cans, etc.

The recent surge in hand sanitizer exposure is due to an increase in reported exposure to all cleaning products and disinfectants, which was 20% higher between January and April 2020 than the same period in 2019.Bleach was the largest increase among any cleaning product category , while alcohol-free hand sanitisers and hand sanitizers accounted for the largest share of the increase in disinfectants.

Take a look at our infographic , the COVID notice sheet and the interactive 360 ​​° diagram .

"We know these are tough times for families and parents are doing their best to juggle multiple roles, including monitoring kids, home counseling and teleworking," said Torine Creppy, president of Safe Kids. Worldwide. "Young children are energetic and full of curiosity, but sometimes we find them doing things they shouldn't."

"We're being inundated with calls," said Shireen Banerji , director of Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Safety. "Some children don't go to school and spend long days at home. The challenge of raising children during a pandemic, combined with more cleaning supplies at home, is the perfect storm for increased injuries."

In one case, Banergi said a father cleaned his son's high chair and dropped a cup of bleach on the tray. Her little one reached for the cup, threw it away and bleached everything over her face. Her eye was so irritated and sore that her father eventually took her to the emergency room for treatment.

Other calls to the Poison Helpline have been made by well-meaning parents and caregivers who make hand sanitizers and household cleaners that are generally not recommended. Most families do not own pharmaceutical bottles, so mistakes will occur when households use water bottles and containers to store these homemade preparations. Although the creation is clearly labeled "hand sanitizer", a child who cannot read will see a water bottle as a water bottle.

In other cases, antibacterial wipes, commonly used on doorknobs, faucets, and other badly affected areas of the house, are sometimes left on the counter for other uses. If curious young children discover a washcloth lying around or take a new one from a container within easy reach, they are likely to put it in their mouth.

2. Store household products in their original containers and read product labels. Use and store the products according to the product label. Children can get into things quickly. So remember not to leave cleaning or personal care products unattended while in use.
3. Save Poison's Help number on your phone and view it at home: 1-800-222-1222. Poison control specialists provide free, confidential and expert medical advice around the clock. They can answer questions and help out in a poison emergency.
