The University of Barcelona's Medicine Faculty has temporarily installed a giant heart made by the Catalan artist Jaume Plensa, with the building's columns acting as the ribcage.
The objective of this work of art is to raise awareness about cardiovascular illnesses, which are the leading cause of death worldwide.
The work is titled El cor secret (The Secret Heart). The heart measures 13 metres tall and 10 metres wide, and weighs 150 kg. It's made of synthetic materials and painted by hand. It had previously been shown in Germany in 2014 and was supposed to arrive to Plensa's home city sooner, but it was delayed because of covid. Instead, in 2020, Plensa donated one of his famous head sculptures to this same building, to thank medicine professionals and students for their work during the pandemic.

Now we know how COVID attacks your heart Even patients with mild COVID symptoms could face a higher risk of developing heart disease and stroke
By Sanjay Mishra
Scientists have noticed that COVID-19 can trigger serious cardiovascular problems, especially among older people who have a buildup of fatty material in their blood vessels. But now a new study has revealed why and shown that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, directly infects the arteries of the heart.
The study also found that the virus can survive and grow inside the cells that form plaque—the buildup of fat-filled cells that narrow and stiffen the arteries leading to atherosclerosis. If the plaque breaks, it can block blood flow and cause a heart attack or a stroke. The SARS-CoV-2 infection makes the situation worse by inflaming the plaque and increasing the chance that it breaks free.
This can explain long-term cardiovascular effects seen in some, if not all, COVID-19 patients.

how the fuck am i hyperfixating on the goddamn CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM of all things. why did my brain decide to develop a creepy obsession with HUMAN ORGANS AND BLOOD TUBES why couldnt i just be autistic about FNAF like everyone else

Yesterday (March 19, 2024) my dad went into cardiac arrest and collapsed in public. A bystander saw and was able to immediately start CPR. That bystander gave him CPR for 10 minutes until paramedics were able to use an AED to get his pulse back. If you don’t know, that’s remarkably rare. The quick action of the bystander giving good quality CPR likely prevented neurological damage. My dad’s not out of the woods yet, but I’m so thankful that he made it past the initial cardiac arrest. Please consider this as a PSA to get trained in CPR; not only does it save lives but prevents brain injury until a patient can be revived.

Using the heart as an investigational model, scientists at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have designed an autoencoder-based machine-learning pipeline that can effectively predict a patient’s heart condition based on image data from ECGs and MRIs. The approach could also be used to detect markers related to cardiovascular diseases.
Nearly all areas of medical science have utilized artificial intelligence (AI) over the years. It has been effectively diagnosing diseases and predicting their transmission and prognosis. AI has been used to design therapeutic approaches effectively and has been helpful in the field of drug design. The use of AI in studying cardiovascular diseases has come a long way, especially machine learning-based systems. AI-based algorithms can be trained to predict cardiovascular disease outcomes using available diagnostic imaging technology.
Currently, the field of cardiology uses a variety of imaging technologies, such as ultrasound imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), etc. The Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a widely used test to monitor the heart’s rhythm. These technologies generate a lot of data that can be utilized to analyze the condition of a person’s heart. The availability of several diagnostic modalities has raised the need for standardized tools for analyzing imaging data effectively. A multi-modal framework built on machine learning techniques has been suggested by researchers from The Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. The proposed system can help doctors to understand the cardiovascular state of a person using data from MRIs and ECGs. In practice, clinicians can use data generated from the machine learning program to diagnose a patient appropriately.

One thing I don’t get with big, scary designs is the use of veins
Like, yeah it’s scary and all, but also really impractical if the character was alive and in a fight. Examples:
Tw: horror characters and disturbing imagery
God Z (or Zeus) from FNF: Vs Sonic.exe D-sides (I think that is the name at least). The veins in his head/shell are quite uncomfortable to look at, and works towards the more unsetting vibe of an alternative Lord X, but also makes you think, “wow, one paper cut, and he dead”
Tumblr media
Idk who this one is, but the same deal. Definitely scary and terrifying, but the abscess of views around the neck give the appearance of a fatal weakness in the design
Tumblr media
Ultra M from FNF: Mario’s Madness v2. Overall a great design that uses unsightly imagery to create a horror character. Instead of going for a thicker, muscular build, it goes for a leaner, more starved appearance. The veins here aren’t as noticeable, except around the limbs.
Tumblr media
And then there is… Hulk? I think..? Anyways! While the veins on the arms portray strength and stress on the body, it also creates a weakness. Most injections are through the veins, so your whole arm is like a target practice for lethal syringes.
Tumblr media
Even in people, it is occasionally a sign of something unhealthy!
While normal cases of prominent veins occur while exercising, it is normal, as “exercises cause the muscles to swell and harden, which pushes veins toward the surface of the skin”. It is harmless, and doesn’t provide and benefits, but no harm either.
Tumblr media
But then we get into varicose veins, which can be a serious health risk. To quote mayoclinic, “Weakened valves, also called incompetent valves, within the veins might cause varicose veins. The weakened valves let blood pool in the veins instead of traveling to the heart. When blood pools in the veins, the veins become larger, making them show under the skin”. While mostly harmless, it can lead to/cause pain, blood clots, and ulcers.
Tumblr media
So all in all, veins are a very good way to increase the details of your character, but it is also good to be aware of what it could also mean for the character you are creating. If varicose veins suit your character, then go for it! But if that is not the intended result, then it might be better to look into alternatives for character creation. If an overly veiny torso/limbs fit in with your character’s character, then draw those blood lines! This is art, and you can make whatever you want.
Idk why I went on this rant, it was bugging me for a while and I wanted to research it, and give results to anyone that might find it useful.

Coronary Artery Anatomy Quiz
This quiz will test your knowledge on the anatomy of the coronary arteries of the heart. The nurse must be familiar with where the coronary arteries are located and what parts of the heart they supply. There are two main coronary arteries: right and left coronary artery. Each coronary artery arises from the ascending aorta and branches into smaller arteries to deliver oxygenated blood to the…

From Cold to Hot: Importance of Warming Up Before Exercise
Are you someone who likes to jump  into a workout without taking the time to warm up first? If so, you may be putting yourself at risk for injury and missing out on the many benefits of warming up. In this article, we’ll explore the importance of warm up before exercise and why it should be an important part of your workout routine. We’ll also discuss the science behind warm-ups, the different types of warming, and tips for creating a good warm-up. So let’s get started!
Tumblr media
Why is Warming Up Before Exercise Important?
Warm up before exercise is important to prepare your body and mind for physical activity. When you warm up, your body goes through  physiological changes to prepare you for the demands of exercise. These changes include an increase in heart rate, blood flow, and respiration, as well as a decrease in muscle tone and an increase in muscle tone. Without a proper warm-up, you increase your risk of injury because your muscles and joints are not adequately prepared for the stress of exercise.
A warm-up is a period of low-intensity exercise or stretching that prepares the body for more vigorous exercise. A good warm-up should accomplish many things. First, it should help improve oxygen and nutrients by increasing blood flow to  working muscles. Second, it should keep the heart beating and breathing, helping to prepare the cardiovascular system to increase exercise. Thirdly, it is necessary to warm up the muscles, which will help reduce injuries and make the muscles flexible. Finally, a warm-up can help you mentally prepare  for your workout and improve focus and concentration. READ MORE....

Been a while since I have been on. Skipped 2 days of lectures so I will take some time to catch up again. Now that classes are all held on campus, it has been getting more difficult to find time to rest and post here. :(
Here is a short update of the past 1 month:
Applied for 15+ companies for internship but got response for 1 company
Started working on my CAD group project with my friends
Planning a trip back to indonesia to visit family members in december before internship
Currently, I am making notes for cardiovascular and watching Stephanie Soo's videos as a background music haha. Been a stressful month so far, but I am coping. I havent had much time to come on here, so please understand if i havent respond to you yet! ❤️
