I caught #covid in #2020. I was a healthy drug/smoking free 30 something year old #athlete at that time. Sponsored #cyclist that kicked ass and took names. I still am athletic now but I have so many health issues from #longcovid. I haven't had 100% peak energy since 2020. Tonight, I'm having a really rough time because my #heart is beating so erratically. I get something called Premature Atrial Contractions, or #PACs. A normal person has a resting heart rate of roughly 60 beats a minute. When I am dealing with #PAC storms I get extra heartbeats that I can feel and they don't feel good. The extra heartbeats happen in the middle of a normal heartbeat so the heart monitor's don't really count them accurately. No telling how many heartbeats I'm having but it feels shitty, makes me tired, and makes me cough.

3D Printed Heart Valve Regenerates Itself And Grows With The Patient. Developed by Georgia Tech, it creates a valve that can grow with a patient, particularly helpful for kids. #3dprinting #heart #valves #growing #children

InstagramHoward G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "3D Printed Heart Valve Regenerates Itself And Grows With The Patient This groundbreaking valve is custom-printed for each adult and pediatric patient. Created by Georgia Tech bioengineers using shape memory material, the folded valve is introduced in a catheter. Once in place, it resorbs over time after providing a scaffold for the patient’s own body to regenerate and reconstruct it with tissue over time. Currently available tissue valves of animal origin lack this ability. This rebuilding feature is particularly valuable for pediatric patients with constantly growing hearts. Currently, these 3D printed Bioresorbable valves have only been tested in a left heart simulator. Once they are ready for human use, they could save kids from the need for multiple open heart surgical valve replacements…… someday soon. https://research.gatech.edu/feature/heart-valves #3dprinting #heart #valves #growing #children"0 likes, 0 comments - drhowardsmithreports on February 21, 2025: "3D Printed Heart Valve Regenerates Itself And Grows With The Patient This groundbreaking valve is custom-printed for each adult and pediatric patient.

After finding out Hannah lived within minutes of where I lived at the time, and that she was interested in doing photos around town, we ended up visiting a local college campus for our setting. It being in the Winter we were lucky there were limited distractions but I got to work more on my verbal and mimic posing styling. I loved how multiple photos turned out, though there was one I loved the most. These photos are from that photo shoot.
