Cardiac arrest

Cardiac arrest

Cardiac arrest is a sudden loss of blood flow resulting from the failure of the heart to pump effectively.  Signs include loss of consciousness and abnormal or absent breathing.  Some individuals may experience chest pain, shortness of breath, or nausea before cardiac arrest.  If not treated within minutes, it typically leads to death. 

The most common cause of cardiac arrest is coronary artery disease. Less common causes include major blood loss, lack of oxygen, very low potassium, heart failure, and intense physical exercise.  A number of inherited disorders may also increase the risk including long QT syndrome.  The initial heart rhythm is most often ventricular fibrillation.  The diagnosis is confirmed by finding no pulse.  While a cardiac arrest may be caused by heart attack or heart failure, these are not the same. 

Prevention includes not smoking, physical activity, and maintaining a healthy weight.  Treatment for cardiac arrest includes immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and, if a shockable rhythm is present, defibrillation. Among those who survive, targeted temperature management may improve outcomes.  An implantable cardiac defibrillator may be placed to reduce the chance of death from recurrence. 

In the United States, approximately 535,000 cases occur a year.  About 13 per 10,000 people (326,000 or 61%) experience cardiac arrest outside of a hospital setting, while 209,000 (39%) occur within a hospital.  Cardiac arrest becomes more common with age.  It affects males more often than females.  The percentage of people who survive out of hospital cardiac arrest with treatment by emergency medical services is about 8% Many who survive have significant disability.  However, many American television programs have portrayed unrealistically high survival rates of 67%. 

Cardiac arrest is preceded by no warning symptoms in approximately 50 percent of people  For those who do experience symptoms, they will be non-specific, such as new or worsening chest pain, fatigue, blackouts, dizziness, shortness of breath, weakness and vomiting.  When cardiac arrest occurs, the most obvious sign of its occurrence will be the lack of a palpable pulse in the victim. Also, as a result of loss of cerebral perfusion (blood flow to the brain), the victim will rapidly lose consciousness and will stop breathing. The main criterion for diagnosing a cardiac arrest, as opposed to respiratory arrest, which shares many of the same features, is lack of circulation; however, there are a number of ways of determining this. Near-death experiences are reported by 10 to 20 percent of people who survived cardiac arrest. 

Certain types of prompt intervention can often reverse a cardiac arrest, but without such intervention, death is all but certain.  In certain cases, cardiac arrest is an anticipated outcome of a serious illness where death is expected

Captaintom

Captain Sir Thomas Moore (born 30 April 1920), popularly known as “Captain Tom”, is a former British Army officer and centenarian, known for his achievements raising money for charity in the run-up to his 100th birthday during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Moore served in India, the Burma campaign, and Sumatra during the Second World War, and later became an instructor in armoured warfare. After the war, he worked as managing director of a concrete company and was an avid motorcycle racer.

On 6 April 2020, at the age of 99, he began to walk laps of his garden in aid of NHS Charities Together, with the goal of raising £1,000 by his hundredth birthday. In the 24-day course of his fundraising he made many media appearances and became a popular household name in the United Kingdom, generating much interest in his life story, earning a number of accolades and attracting over 1.5 million individual donations. He featured in a cover version of the song "You'll Never Walk Alone", with proceeds going to the same charity. The single topped the UK music charts and made him the oldest person to achieve a UK number one.

On the morning of his hundredth birthday the total raised by his walk passed £30 million, and by the time the campaign closed at the end of that day had increased to over £32.79 million. His birthday was marked in a number of ways, including flypasts by the Royal Air Force and the British Army. He received over 150,000 cards, and was appointed as honorary colonel of the Army Foundation College. His knighthood was announced on 19 May, and conferred the next day. His investiture took place on 17 July 2020, at Windsor Castle.

Moore was born at Keighley, West Yorkshire, on 30 April 1920 and grew up in the town. His father, Wilfred, was one of a family of builders,   his mother was a head teacher.  Moore was educated at Keighley Grammar School and started an apprenticeship in civil engineering. 

Moore was conscripted in the 8th Battalion, Duke of Wellington's Regiment (8 DWR) in 1940, stationed in Cornwall, shortly after the beginning of the Second World War.  He was selected for officer training later that year,  and attended an Officer Cadet Training Unit before being commissioned as a second lieutenant on 28 June 1941. 

On 22 October 1941, Moore became a member of the Royal Armoured Corps. This was because 8 DWR became an armoured unit designated as the 145th Regiment Royal Armoured Corps.  Later that year, he was transferred to the 9th Battalion (9 DWR) in India, which had also been redesignated as the 146th Regiment Royal Armoured Corps. While in India he was tasked with setting up and running a training programme for army motorcyclists.  He was initially posted to Bombay[9] (now Mumbai) and subsequently to Calcutta (now Kolkata). 

He was promoted to war-substantive lieutenant on 1 October 1942 and to temporary captain on 11 October 1944. 

As part of the Fourteenth Army, the so-called "Forgotten Army", he served in Arakan in western Burma (now Myanmar) — where he survived Dengue fever  — and afterward in Sumatra after the Japanese surrender  by which time he had risen to the rank of Captain.  His regiment were equipped with M3 Lee tanks and participated in the Battle of Ramree Island in January–February 1945. 

On his return to Britain he served as an instructor at the Armoured Fighting Vehicle School at Bovington Camp, Dorset.

Cursed

Cursed

Cursed is an American fantasy drama web television series, based on the illustrated novel of the same name by Frank Miller and Tom Wheeler that premiered on Netflix on July 17, 2020.

Writing for Deadline, Nellie Andreeva describes Cursed as "a re-imagining of the Arthurian legend, told through the eyes of Nimue, a young heroine with a mysterious gift who is destined to become the powerful (and tragic) Lady of the Lake. After her mother’s death, she finds an unexpected partner in Arthur, a young mercenary, in a quest to find Merlin and deliver an ancient sword. Over the course of her journey, Nimue will become a symbol of courage and rebellion against the terrifying Red Paladins, and their complicit King Uther."  In another piece on that site, Andreeva calls the show "a coming-of-age story whose themes are familiar to our own time: the obliteration of the natural world, religious terror, senseless war, and finding the courage to lead in the face of the impossible"
