Brazil Has a Dengue Emergency, Portending a Health Crisis for the Americas

Brazil is experiencing an enormous outbreak of dengue fever, the sometimes fatal mosquito-borne disease, and public health experts say it is a harbinger of a coming surge in cases in the Americas, including Puerto Rico.

Brazil’s Health Ministry warns that it expects more than 4.2 million cases this year, outstripping the 4.1 million cases the Pan-American Health Organization recorded for all 42 countries in the region last year.

Brazil was due for a bad dengue year — numbers of cases of the virus typically rise and fall on a roughly four-year cycle — but experts say a number of factors, including El Niño and climate change, have significantly amplified the problem this year.

“The record heat in the country and the above-average rainfall since last year, even before the summer, have increased the number of mosquito breeding sites in Brazil, even in regions that had few cases of the disease,” Brazil’s health minister, Nísia Trindade, said.

Dengue case numbers have already soared in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay in the last few months, during the Southern Hemisphere summer, and the virus will move up through the continents with the seasons.

“When we see waves in one country, we will generally see waves in other countries, that’s how interconnected we are,” said Dr. Albert Ko, an expert on dengue in Brazil and a professor of public health at Yale University.

Grant said, “What is the right-hand column?” 

“Release version of the animals. The most recent are version 4.1 or 4.3. We’re considering going to version 4.4.” 

“Version numbers? You mean like software? New releases?” 

“Well, yes,” Arnold said. “It is like software, in a way. As we discover the glitches in the DNA, Dr. Wu’s labs have to make a new version.” 

The idea of living creatures being numbered like software, being subject to updates and revisions, troubled Grant. He could not exactly say why—it was too new a thought—but he was instinctively uneasy about it. They were, after all, living creatures.…

General Anesthesia Drugs Market is Estimated To Witness High Growth Owing To Rising Number of Surgical Procedures

General anesthesia drugs induce a reversible loss of consciousness or sensation to enable surgical procedures to be performed. These drugs offer several advantages such as analgesia, amnesia, muscle relaxation, and immobility during surgical procedures. Rising number of surgeries is driving the demand for general anesthesia drugs globally. The General Anesthesia Drugs Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 4.95 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.1% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights. Market key trends: Rising number of surgeries is the major trend fuelling the growth of general anesthesia drugs market. Factors such as increasing incidences of injuries, chronic diseases, and overall lifestyle changes leading to various medical conditions have contributed to the increasing number of surgeries performed globally. For instance, according to the National Center for Health Statistics, around 45 million surgeries were performed in the United States in 2020. Moreover, regulatory approvals for new formulations of anesthetic drugs provide growth opportunities for market players. For example, in 2022, the U.S FDA granted approval to Hemsida’s Qinprezo for general anesthesia induction and maintenance during diagnostic, therapeutic and surgical procedures. Porter's Analysis Threat of new entrants: Moderate threat as establishing production facilities and obtaining regulatory approvals is capital intensive. However, generics emerging as alternative drives threat. Bargaining power of buyers: Low to moderate as buyers have few alternatives and brands have significant pricing power due to patented drugs. Generic emergence increases bargaining power gradually. Bargaining power of suppliers: Low as raw material suppliers have minimal differentiation. Alternatives available limits suppliers' power over price and quality. Threat of new substitutes: Moderate threat from advancements in local anesthesia and analgesics replacing need for general anesthesia in some procedures. Competitive rivalry: Intense as leading players compete on innovation, quality and expanding portfolio. Price wars and patent cliffs also intensifies competition. SWOT Analysis Strengths: Large R&D investments lead to continuous patent-protected product launches. Strong distribution network and branding aids sales. Weaknesses: Heavy regulations and time-consuming approval processes delay launches. Price controls and drug affordability remain challenges in developing markets. Opportunities: Rising surgical volumes and procedures drive demand. Emerging markets with improving access and incomes present headroom. Threats: Patent cliffs of major drugs impact revenues until replacements arrive. Generic competition erodes prices and market share post exclusivity. Key Takeaways The global general anesthesia drugs market is expected to witness high growth, exhibiting CAGR of 4.1% over the forecast period, due to increasing number of surgeries worldwide. The market size for general anesthesia drugs was US$ 4.95 Bn in 2023. North America currently dominates the general anesthesia drugs market owing to sophisticated healthcare infrastructure and availability of advanced treatment options. Asia Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest growing market due to rising medical tourism, healthcare reforms and economic growth in major countries. Key players operating in the general anesthesia drugs market include Baxter Healthcare, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Novartis International AG, Hospira, Maruishi, Hengrui, Lunan, Fresenius Kabi, Pfizer Inc., Hikma Pharmaceuticals, Sagent Pharmaceuticals, Teva Pharmaceuticals, Par Pharmaceutical, Viatris Inc., AbbVie, Piramal Critical Care, Aspen Global Incorporated, B. Braun SE, Abbott and Cosmo pharmaceuticals. Major players are focused on product launches and acquisitions to strengthen their market position.

General Anesthesia Drugs Market: Growing Demand for Surgical Procedures Drives Market Growth

The global General Anesthesia Drugs Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 4.95 billion in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.1% over the forecast period 2023-2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights. Market Overview: The General Anesthesia Drugs Market offers various drugs that induce anesthesia and ensure that patients do not feel pain during surgical procedures. These drugs play a crucial role in performing surgeries safely and effectively. The advantages of general anesthesia drugs include the ability to induce deep sedation, muscle relaxation, and reversible unconsciousness. Market Key Trends: One key trend in the General Anesthesia Drugs Market is the growing adoption of intravenous anesthetics. Intravenous anesthetics are administered directly into the bloodstream, allowing for rapid and precise control of anesthesia depth. They offer advantages such as faster onset, quick recovery, and fewer gastrointestinal side effects compared to other administration routes. The demand for intravenous anesthetics is expected to increase as healthcare facilities aim to enhance patient experience during surgeries and reduce procedural time. As a result, pharmaceutical companies are investing in the development of innovative intravenous anesthetics to meet the growing demand in the market. Porter's Analysis: Threat of New Entrants: The threat of new entrants in The General Anesthesia Drugs Market is low. The market is highly regulated, and the high capital requirements and strict regulations act as barriers to entry for new players. Additionally, established companies have strong brand recognition and customer loyalty, making it difficult for new entrants to gain market share. Bargaining Power of Suppliers: The bargaining power of suppliers in the General Anesthesia Drugs market is moderate. The suppliers of raw materials and ingredients have some power as they can dictate prices and terms of supply. However, the presence of multiple suppliers in the market gives manufacturers options and reduces their dependence on any single supplier. Threat of New Substitutes: The threat of new substitutes in the General Anesthesia Drugs market is low. General anesthesia drugs are necessary for various medical procedures and there are limited alternatives available. While there are some advancements in alternative anesthesia techniques, the use of general anesthesia drugs remains the standard practice in most surgical procedures. Key Takeaways: The global General Anesthesia Drugs market is expected to witness high growth, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.1% over the forecast period, from 2023 to 2030. The market size for 2023 is estimated to be US$ 4.95 billion. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing number of surgeries and the rising prevalence of chronic diseases. In terms of regional analysis, North America is expected to be the fastest-growing and dominating region in the General Anesthesia Drugs market. The region's well-established healthcare infrastructure, high healthcare expenditure, and the presence of key market players contribute to its dominance. Additionally, the increasing aging population and the rising number of surgical procedures in the region further drive market growth. Key players operating in the General Anesthesia Drugs market include Baxter Healthcare, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Novartis International AG, Hospira, Maruishi, Hengrui, Lunan, Fresenius Kabi, Pfizer Inc., Hikma Pharmaceuticals, Sagent Pharmaceuticals, Teva Pharmaceuticals, Par Pharmaceutical, Viatris Inc., AbbVie, Piramal Critical Care, Aspen Global Incorporated, B. Braun SE, Abbott, and Cosmo Pharmaceuticals. Overall, the General Anesthesia Drugs market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, driven by factors such as the increasing number of surgeries, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, and the advancements in the healthcare sector.

A National Treasure, Tarnished: Can Britain Fix Its Health Service?

Fifteen hours after she was taken out of an ambulance at Queen’s Hospital with chest pains and pneumonia, Marian Patten was still in the emergency room, waiting for a bed in a ward. Mrs. Patten, 78, was luckier than others who arrived at this teeming hospital, east of London: She had not yet been wheeled into a hallway.

For months, doctors at Queen’s have been forced to treat people in a corridor because of a lack of space. As the ambulances kept pulling up outside, the doctor supervising the E.R., Darryl Wood, said it was only a matter of time before nurses would begin diverting patients into the overflow space again.

“We’re in that mode every day now because the N.H.S. doesn’t have the capacity to deal with all the patients,” Dr. Wood said.

Despite her ordeal, Mrs. Patten was sympathetic. Decades ago, she said, the National Health Service saved her husband’s life when he had a heart attack. “It’s got to cope with a lot more people,” she said. “You can’t be grumpy about it.”

Her stoicism captures the reverence that Britons have for their cradle-to-grave health system, but also their rueful sense that it is broken.

As it turns 75 this month, the N.H.S., a proud symbol of Britain’s welfare state, is in the deepest crisis of its history: flooded by aging, enfeebled patients; starved of investment in equipment and facilities; and understaffed by doctors and nurses, many of whom are so burned out that they are either joining strikes or leaving for jobs abroad.

Interviews over three months with doctors, nurses, patients, hospital administrators, and medical analysts depict a system so profoundly troubled that some experts warn that the health service is at risk of collapse.

“Doctors and nurses face an endless stream of patients filling beds,” said Matthew Trainer, the chief executive of the N.H.S. trust that runs Queen’s and another nearby hospital, the King George. “For the clinical staff, that removes a sense of hope — that sense that what you’re doing matters.”

More than 7.4 million people in England are waiting for medical procedures, everything from hip replacements to cancer surgery. That is up from 4.1 million before the coronavirus pandemic began in 2020.

Mortality data, exacerbated by long wait times, paints a bleak picture. In 2022, the number of excess deaths rose to one of the highest levels in the last 50 years, and those numbers have kept rising, even as the pandemic has ebbed.

In the first quarter of 2023, more than half of excess deaths — that is, deaths above the five-year average mortality rate, before the pandemic — were caused by something other than Covid-19. Cardiovascular-related fatalities, which can be linked to delays in treatment, were up particularly sharply, according to Stuart McDonald, an expert on mortality data at LCP, a London-based pension and investment advisory firm.

Proliferating labor unrest only adds to the crisis, throwing hospitals that were already barely coping into near paralysis. While Mrs. Patten waited for a bed at Queen’s, doctors were picketing outside, protesting starting wages that are comparable to those earned by baristas working at Pret-a-Manger, a sandwich chain in the hospital’s lobby.

New Visa Fraud Report Finds That Even Savvy Consumers Get Tripped Up by the Language of Fraud

New Visa Fraud Report Finds That Even Savvy Consumers Get Tripped Up by the Language of Fraud 'Winning,' 'free gift,' 'exclusive deal,' 'act now' are among top language traps cited in Visa’s 'Fraudulese: The Language of Fraud' report. SAN FRANCISCO, November 16, 2022 - It's not your imagination. Digital scams are everywhere in our daily lives. And as the holiday season approaches, fraudsters are counting on you to let your guard down and take the bait. Whether in the workplace or on the go, we're peppered by phone, text and email with offers for "free gifts" and traps to "act now" to supply personal information before a vital service gets cut off. And this barrage of “fraudulese” is working. A new research report out today from Visa, in partnership with Wakefield Research, “Fraudulese: The Language of Fraud,” brings to light that when it comes to spotting scams, cybercriminals are finding vulnerabilities among even the most tech-savvy consumers. While nearly half of the population are confident, they can recognize a scam, 73% are likely to miss the requisite red flags in digital communications. From a spoofed service notification from your electric company to an email alerting you that you’ve won products from your favorite store, or even job postings that make it seem like you’ve been hired by a top-tier company, scams hit almost every touchpoint in our digital lives. In the last year alone, Visa has proactively blocked $7.2 billion in attempted fraudulent payments across 122 million transactions before those transactions impacted clients. “Understanding the language of fraud is increasingly essential in our digital-first world. Scammers have reached new heights of sophistication in both language and variety – no one is immune,” said Paul Fabara, Chief Risk Officer, Visa. “Education around the language of scams is an integral part of our consumer protection, and highlighting the commonalities in the language of fraud helps prevent crime globally.” Earlier this year as part of Visa’s efforts to empower consumers to learn about the language of fraud, the company commissioned a first-of-its-kind linguistic analysis by researchers in the U.K. revealing how language can be used by fraudsters in short messages. The study revealed that solutions inviting consumers to engage with a problem or offer are the most common fraudulent message, occurring in 87% of the scam text messages, while problem statements that provoke action from the recipient were the second most common. “By highlighting the communicative strategies, words and phrases used by fraudsters, we hope people can more easily spot the language of fraud as it stands today, which ultimately helps to protect them,” said Dr. Marton Petyko, from the Aston Institute for Forensic Linguistics, which conducted the U.K. research.

A Disconnect Between Awareness and Action

Falling victim to cyber fraud is costly. In 2021, the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center reported a record number of complaints, with potential losses exceeding $6.9 billion, up from $4.1 billion in 2020. According to Visa’s new report, which surveyed 6,000 adults in 18 markets worldwide, scammers appear to be thriving in the gap between consumers’ awareness of the language of fraud and their actual behavior. Among the top findings: - We think others are more susceptible to fraud than we are. While consumers feel confident in their own vigilance, the vast majority (90%) are concerned that friends or family members may fall for potential scams that include emails or text messages asking people to verify their account information, asking about overdrawn banking accounts and notifying them about winning a gift card or product from an online shopping site. The most enticing clickbait messages capitalize on consumer excitement, and fraudulently tout “winning,” “exclusive deals” or “free gift,” the survey found. - Is it legitimate? More than 4 in 5 (81%) respondents check the wrong details to determine the authenticity of a communication, focusing on features scammers can easily fake, including the company’s name or logo (46%). Individuals can better protect themselves from fraudsters by checking details that are harder to fake, such as account numbers or details about their interactions with the company. - Overlooking telltale signs. Only 60% of people reported looking to ensure a communication is sent from a valid email address. Fewer than half (47%) look to ensure words are spelled properly. - Crypto users proceed with caution. Crypto users are more likely to identify the right kind of verifying elements of a potential scam than non-crypto owners. For example, they are more likely to check their account information (49% vs 37%) to confirm the validity of digital communications.

Take a Few Extra Moments to Decipher Fraudulese

Consumers can better protect themselves by taking a few extra moments before clicking, including taking time to understand the way fraudsters use language. Among simple, but effective best practices: Keep personal information to yourself. Don’t click on links before verifying they’ll take you where they say they will. Turn on purchase alerts, which provide near real-time notification by text message or email of purchases made with your account. Call the number on corporate websites or the back of your credit and debit cards if you are unsure if a communication is valid – don't just call the number possibly provided by the scammer in their text or email.

Protection Is Visa’s Top Priority

While cybercrime persists in an increasingly digital world, Visa is mission-driven to protect consumers and mitigate fraud. Over the past five years, the company has invested more than $10 billion in technology, including to reduce fraud and increase network security. More than a thousand dedicated specialists protect Visa’s network from malware, zero-day attacks and insider threats 24x7x365. In fact, over the last 12 months, Visa’s real-time monitoring has proactively blocked over $7.2 billion in fraudulent payments, preventing many from ever knowing they were at risk of a potential fraudulent transaction.

Different Eye Vision Problems

Refractive Errors

Refractive errors are the most frequent eye problems in the United States. Refractive errors include myopia (near-sightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism (distorted vision at all distances), and presbyopia that occurs between age 40–50 years (loss of the ability to focus up close, inability to read letters of the phone book, need to hold newspaper farther away to see clearly) can be corrected by eyeglasses, contact lenses, or in some cases surgery. The National Eye Institute states that proper refractive correction could improve vision among 150 million Americans.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Macular degeneration, often called age-related macular degeneration (AMD), is an eye disorder associated with aging and results in damaging sharp and central vision. Central vision is needed for seeing objects clearly and for common daily tasks such as reading and driving. AMD affects the macula, the central part the retina that allows the eye to see fine details. There are two forms of AMD—wet and dry.Wet AMD is when abnormal blood vessel behind the retina start to grow under the macula, ultimately leading to blood and fluid leakage. Bleeding, leaking, and scarring from these blood vessels cause damage and lead to rapid central vision loss. An early symptom of wet AMD is that straight lines appear wavy.Dry AMD is when the macula thins overtime as part of aging process, gradually blurring central vision. The dry form is more common and accounts for 70–90% of cases of AMD and it progresses more slowly than the wet form. Over time, as less of the macula functions, central vision is gradually lost in the affected eye. Dry AMD generally affects both eyes. One of the most common early signs of dry AMD is drusen.Drusen are tiny yellow or white deposits under the retina. They often are found in people aged 60 years and older. The presence of small drusen is normal and does not cause vision loss. However, the presence of large and more numerous drusen raises the risk of developing advanced dry AMD or wet AMD.It is estimated that 1.8 million Americans aged 40 years and older are affected by AMD and an additional 7.3 million with large drusen are at substantial risk of developing AMD. The number of people with AMD is estimated to reach 2.95 million in 2020. AMD is the leading cause of permanent impairment of reading and fine or close-up vision among people aged 65 years and older.

Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common complication of diabetes. It is the leading cause of blindness in American adults. It is characterized by progressive damage to the blood vessels of the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye that is necessary for good vision. DR progresses through four stages, mild nonproliferative retinopathy (microaneurysms), moderate nonproliferative retinopathy (blockage in some retinal vessels), severe nonproliferative retinopathy (more vessels are blocked leading to deprived retina from blood supply leading to growing new blood vessels), and proliferative retinopathy (most advanced stage). Diabetic retinopathy usually affects both eyes.The risks of DR are reduced through disease management that includes good control of blood sugar, blood pressure, and lipid abnormalities. Early diagnosis of DR and timely treatment reduce the risk of vision loss; however, as many as 50% of patients are not getting their eyes examined or are diagnosed too late for treatment to be effective.It is the leading cause of blindness among U.S. working-aged adults aged 20–74 years. An estimated 4.1 million and 899,000 Americans are affected by retinopathy and vision-threatening retinopathy, respectively.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a group of diseases that can damage the eye’s optic nerve and result in vision loss and blindness. Glaucoma occurs when the normal fluid pressure inside the eyes slowly rises. However, recent findings now show that glaucoma can occur with normal eye pressure. With early treatment, you can often protect your eyes against serious vision loss.There are two major categories “open angle” and “closed angle” glaucoma. Open angle, is a chronic condition that progress slowly over long period of time without the person noticing vision loss until the disease is very advanced, that is why it is called “sneak thief of sight.” Angle closure can appear suddenly and is painful. Visual loss can progress quickly; however, the pain and discomfort lead patients to seek medical attention before permanent damage occurs.

Amblyopia

Amblyopia, also referred to as “lazy eye,” is the most common cause of vision impairment in children. Amblyopia is the medical term used when the vision in one of the eyes is reduced because the eye and the brain are not working together properly. The eye itself looks normal, but it is not being used normally because the brain is favoring the other eye. Conditions leading to amblyopia include strabismus, an imbalance in the positioning of the two eyes; more nearsighted, farsighted, or astigmatic in one eye than the other eye, and rarely other eye conditions such as cataract.Unless it is successfully treated in early childhood amblyopia usually persists into adulthood, and is the most common cause of permanent one-eye vision impairment among children and young and middle-aged adults. An estimated 2%–3% of the population suffer from amblyopia.

Strabismus

Strabismus involves an imbalance in the positioning of the two eyes. Strabismus can cause the eyes to cross in (esotropia) or turn out (exotropia). Strabismus is caused by a lack of coordination between the eyes. As a result, the eyes look in different directions and do not focus simultaneously on a single point. In most cases of strabismus in children, the cause is unknown. In more than half of these cases, the problem is present at or shortly after birth (congenital strabismus). When the two eyes fail to focus on the same image, there is reduced or absent depth perception and the brain may learn to ignore the input from one eye, causing permanent vision loss in that eye (one type of amblyopia).

Gallifreyan Anatomy and Physiology 4: The Muscular System

A worryingly comprehensive and extremely unofficial guide to Gallifreyan and Time Lord/Lady Anatomy and Physiology, constructed with love and sweat.

This is a project that attempts to draw together everything we know about gallifreyan anatomy from every source available to place it in a valid biological system, like some Grey’s Anatomy textbook you didn’t know you needed.

The author of this has no affiliation with the BBC, and owns nothing but this lovely chocolate bar and good intentions. Nothing in this guide should be taken as de facto and everything should be free to be challenged and changed. I welcome any comments, questions, points of interest, or corrections - just aim at my ask/inbox.

Absolutely nothing in this guide constitutes professional medical advice. Always seek your human advice from a healthcare provider, and always seek your gallifreyan advice from a hospitaller on Gallifrey.

The Muscular System

AKA Running would be hard without it.

Contains:

Context & Anatomy

Microbiology

Injury, Disease & Healing

Sex, Age & Regeneration

Summary

4.1 Context & Anatomy

Gallifreyans possess the same structure and almost the same number of muscles as humans (600~)

There’s obviously extra cardiac muscle owing to the second heart, and an extremely thin layer of voluntary muscle on blood vessels. There’s additional voluntary muscles acting as ‘valves’ for the hearts and some more voluntary muscles in the respiratory system.

The types are also the same, including voluntary and involuntary.

Gallifreyans have slightly more muscle strength and muscle stamina in general, but they’re not the Hulk. The difference is negligible.

4.2 Microbiology

Paging Dr. Strong

The construction of the gallifreyan muscle makes it pretty much indistinguishable from human muscle to the naked eye. The most basic way of describing it is that individual muscles are extremely tiny muscle fibres bundled together and wrapped like a snug bug in a rug in a connective tissue covering, to form compartments of bundles of muscle fibres like so:

Only under a microscope will the differences start to become obvious. Gallifreyans benefit from slightly denser muscle fibres and a stronger tendon, making it more difficult for severe ruptures or detachment to occur. They also have fuller bursa (tiny sacs of fluid between bones and soft tissues) which reduce friction by acting as cushions, meaning that they can sustain greater and more impacts to muscles without damage.

4.3 Injury, Disease & Healing

This is injury, disease and healing specific to the muscular system. For a wider explanation see the immune system.

4.3.1 Injury

The most common soft tissue injuries in gallifreyans are the same as us - muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Overzealous running followed by ‘oops *crash*’ can lead to sprains, strains, bruising, and other acute soft tissue injuries, although these are far less common in gallifreyans than in humans.

On the other hand, chronic muscle injuries emerge as a result of repeated impact (such as repeatedly trying to twist that stiff vector tracker on the console). The most common conditions are tendinitis (irritations/inflammation of a tendon) and bursitis (inflammation of the bursa). Again, their resilience means most gallifreyans will live out all their lives without experiencing these, but it's possible.

Owing to the denser nature of the bursa, if a gallifreyan does begin to suffer with bursitis, the swelling will be far more exaggerated and obvious, like a tennis ball on the end of the elbow. This makes it slightly more dangerous, as impact to the area can cause the bursa to, well … burst, leading to bleeding/bruising and possible infection of the surrounding areas, but their immune system can take care of that.

4.3.2 Disease

Adult gallifreyans have a much, MUCH lower risk of developing or contracting muscle diseases, such as polymyositis and dermatomyositis. As the gallifreyan’s incarnation ages they will become more susceptible to them.

One definite advantage of being a gallifreyan is that during exercise they won’t experience lactic acid build-ups, simply because their system is too good at creating energy and neutralising excess acids. They can get stitches, however.

4.3.3 Healing

Estimated full healing time for a muscle injury are as follows*:

*These are approximate and entirely dependent on the type of muscle injury and where it is. Some extremely generalised classifications:

Minor eg. mild strain

Moderate eg. severe strain with no/partial ruptures

Major eg. muscle and tendon ruptures requiring reattachment/surgical intervention

4.4 Sex, Age & Regeneration

4.4.1 Sex

This is sex specific to the muscular system. For a wider explanation, see the basics main section.

Depending on the ratio of hormones, the muscular structure of the gallifreyan conforms to a masculine or feminine muscular structure and microbiology. An incarnation can have mixed-sex muscular structure attributes depending on the ratio of hormones.

More male hormones results in muscles being faster and having a higher power output. More female hormones results in more resistance to fatigue and quicker recovery time.

4.4.2 Age

This is age specific to the muscular system. For a wider explanation, see the basics main section.

Aged 0-40, children are substantially weaker than adults, with masculine and feminine muscles possessing exactly the same ability. Once they hit 40, things start to ramp up. Adults have roughly the same strength as their human counterparts, just slightly elevated. Elders have reduced strength, which degrades as the years roll by with the loss of proteostasis.

4.4.3 Regeneration

This is regeneration specific to the muscular system. For a wider explanation, see the regenerative system (link to be added) main section.

As with all regenerations, there is a risk of regenerating with more of or without certain muscles, and also regenerating with a particular weakness or particular strength in certain muscles. Initial muscle strength of an incarnation is determined by the four regeneration factors (link to be added).

In the 6-8 week post-regeneration ‘moulding’ phase, muscles can experience sudden and powerful bursts of strength which can seem superhuman. Conversely, if suffering from post-regenerative trauma, muscles can also become suddenly weak, leading to collapse. In the worst cases, the gallifreyan can suffer acute heart/s failure and cardiac arrest through the cardiac muscles’ sudden inability to adequately pump blood.

4.5 Summary

The gallifreyan muscular system is essentially the same as humans, with a few enhancements.

Injuries common to humans are also common to gallifreyans, though not as much as us (sprain, strains, and tears).

Muscles differ between the sexes - more male hormones result in muscles being faster with a higher power output, while female muscles will be more resistant to fatigue and have a quicker recovery time.

Newly regenerated gallifreyans may experience sudden bursts of strength or weakness.

Rejected evidence

Both rejected for hierarchy reasons and given a much better reasoning because ... like ... seriously?

‘Gallifreyans have incredible strength for their size’

‘Most humans are stronger than the average Gallifreyan’ (unknown source)
