Atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis is the formation of a plaque (athero-) on the wall of the blood vessel making it hard or sclerosed (-sclerosis).  This hard vessel has decreased diameter due to the plaque formation which can grow larger leading to significant vessel occlusion.

Risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, smoking, high cholesterol/triglycerides, and platelet abnormalities can lead to the development of atherosclerosis.  Sex and age also naturally predispose to this condition, with men being more commonly affected than women and the risk of atherosclerosis increasing with age.

Atherosclerosis can occur anywhere in the body but is more common in the abdominal aorta, coronary arteries, popliteal arteries, and internal carotid arteries.  Stress on the vessel wall leads to injury to the endothelium.  Macrophages infiltrate the injured endothelium and platelets aggregate and adhere to the endothelium.  This activates the inflammatory response releasing cytokines and growth factors.  Cytokines form the extracellular matrix.  Hyperplasia of smooth muscle cells occurs which forms the fibrous cap.

Symptoms are generally asymptomatic if mild and are dependent on which vessels are affected.  For instance, if the abdominal aorta is affected it can cause abdominal/back pain, coronary arteries can cause angina (chest pain/pressure), popliteal artery can cause leg claudication (pain and/or cramping), renal arteries can lead to high blood pressure or kidney problems.

Complications include aneurysms, thrombus formation, hypertension (due to atherosclerotic narrowing of renal artery), cerebral atrophy (involvement of circle of willis), and peripheral artery disease (PAD).

Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) calculation can help diagnose atherosclerosis in the lower limbs.  A ratio less than 0.9 indicates presence of PAD.  Angiography and duplex ultrasonography can be used to visualize the vessel defects.

Initial treatment includes minimizing risk factors (stop smoking, diet modification, exercise, weight loss, and stress management).  Medications such as cilostazol prevent platelet aggregation.  Surgical revascularization may be required.

Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) has been regarded as an infective-inflammatory disease, which affects mainly lungs. More recently, a multi-organ involvement has been highlighted, with different pathways of injury. A hemoglobinopathy, hypoxia and cell ...

Lovely.

Found this medical article basically describing the plague as not a respiratory disease, and that those who have perished under the ARD syndrome may not be the most accurate declaration of death.

This is a lot of medical terminology I’m not very familiar with, but it discusses the hemo properties of red cell destruction and cellular death through prolonged infection.

Yes, the plague can infect the lungs and destroy them. Because they are the source of infection and high in oxygen. However, ARD is not caused by the destruction of lung tissue, it is due to the red cells inability to carry oxygen.

I think.....

Let me clarify. A portion of the population believes that the cause of death is due to the lungs rotting in your chest. True, that will kill you. What actually is killing people is silent hypoxia and cytokine storms, the former is the body unable to receive oxygen to the vast majority of major organs resulting in silent death - acute Carbon Monoxide to compare it. 

In the cytokine storm, the body mounts a massive and aggressive reaction to the presence of the plague, killing off both the compromised and healthy cells. In a sore throat, that is what the body is doing - killing off infected tissue in the bronchial tissue, along with healthy tissue - purging the area of infection.

Because the plague infects the blood tissue, the area of infection the body mounts its attack against is EVERYWHERE. Wherever the plague has established itself, the immune cells seek to destroy. That is why the lung tissue melts, the body is struggling to kill off the infection, which is in the blood. Or liver failure. Or kidney failure. If plague cells are present in high yield in these organs, the body will destroy the cells, sometimes killing itself in its quest.

This is why the vaccine was so imperative to reach the vast population. You cannot release the plague in your body and trust the immune system to react to it. It’s an unknown factor. Like most viruses, prevention is key to survival. Like rabies, when you begin presenting symptoms of the plague, it might be too late. The infection has multiplied and taken over a substantial sum of cells, and the body is reacting to it. You can’t tell your body to react to a presence it doesn’t first recognize as a threat, if the immune system ignores the plague and allows it to replicate uncontrolled, the host carrier is in a dire situation.

It’s unfortunate this information isn’t mainstream. People site the plague as a deadly pathogen, but they neglect to explain why. The reason the plague is so deadly is because it eats the blood, but it doesn’t destroy this ecosystem all at once - the virus needs a place to live and thrive. From there, it breeds and spreads it babies. But like any ecosystem without a natural predator to keep its activity in check, the virus replicates uncontrolled - until at last the host carrier perishes (i.e - presents symptoms related to the plague and dies).

In technical terms, those that have no good reason to avoid the vaccine (i.e. legit health issues that prevent getting jabbed), willingly open their body up to a parasite pathogen. That’s sort of like saying “tapeworms build character”

I mean, tapeworms sure do something.

Lastly, the people out there who think they have a good immune system because “they always recover from the cold or flu” likely DO NOT HAVE a good immune system. A good immune system kills the viral presence BEFORE SYMPTOMS PRESENT. That’s how immune systems work. They keep the virus from taking hold and anchoring itself in your throat, lungs, wherever.

Some of these people go “I get sick three times a year, I am healthy.” No, not really. That’s NOT a status of good health. That’s a status of poor health. Your immune system is shit and doesn’t realize you have problems, and the result is you getting shat on by your body because you have an uncontrolled infection. In retrospect, these people take for granted the damage is minimal and recovery occurs.

But with the plague, when damage is done it is very traumatic to the body, and can take months or years to heal from. And during that time, reinfection can occur once more.

Im translating a medical article right now and If it would swear at me in medical I wouldnt understand thats how clueless I am.

Do any of my non-bot followers know anything about that article, that wanted medical students or science students to learn 3d animation or modelling to help their careers etc? I can’t seem to find it.
