PLEUROPULMONARY AND BRONCHIAL INFECTIONS
COVID-19 Hospitalization Linked With Substance Use, Psychiatric Disorders in COVID-19
Ron Goldberg | March 28, 2023

Hospitalization is more likely for patients with COVID-19 who have psychiatric disorders and substance abuse disorders.
A greater likelihood of hospitalization exists for patients with COVID-19 and with both psychiatric disorder (PD) and substance use disorder (SUD) compared with individuals with COVID-19 and with neither disorder or with either disorder alone, according to study findings published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Psychiatry.

Investigators sought to evaluate the association of comorbid PD and SUD with the probability of hospitalization among patients with COVID-19 in the emergency department (ED). The primary endpoint was any hospitalization determined by billing codes .

They conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study that included more than 1.2 million patients with COVID-19 treated in 1 of 970 US EDs and inpatient hospitals from April 2020 to August 2021. Primary exposures were any past diagnosis of PD (posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), major depression or other mood disorder, bipolar disorder, anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder [ADHD], or schizophrenia) and/or SUD (co***ne, sedatives, cannabis, alcohol, stimulants, opioids or other substances). Investigators calculated differences in the probability of hospitalization to evaluate its association with both SUD and PD compared with SUD alone, PD alone, or neither condition. Ni****ne dependence was treated as a comorbid covariate vs a primary exposure variable. Independent variables consisted of s*x, race and ethnicity, age, primary insurance, and the US Census region of the hospital.

Investigators analyzed discharge data using the Premier PINC AI Healthcare Data Special Release COVID-19 (PHD-SR COVID-19) edition (release date, September 14, 2021), a 48-state, all-payer longitudinal electronic health record database that included 1,274,219 adult patients with COVID-19 at least 18 years of age (mean age, 54.6±19.1 years; 52.4% women) and found 4.6% had an SUD (mean age, 50.1 years; 38.3% women), 18.6% had a PD (mean age 59.0 years; 62.3% women), and 2.3% had both (mean age, 50.4 years; 46.9% women).

Substance use disorders appear to have a greater association than psychiatric disorders with the probability of hospitalization.
There were 567,766 (44.6%) of patients hospitalized directly from the ED. Hospitalized patients vs those not admitted were more likely men (52.4%), older (mean age 63.6 vs 47.4 years), insured by Medicare, living in urban areas, or living in the Northeast census region. Among the hospitalized patients, about three-fourths had a chronic disease vs one-third of patients with COVID-19 who were discharged from an ED.

The continuing story of "Christian" the lion: written by John and Ace from 1969 to 1973 in England. Later to meet Carol's sister, all working on the Alaskan Pipeline.

"The 3 bonded deeply and spent a lot time together enjoying convertible car rides and day trips to the seaside.

One day quite by coincidence, the actors from the movie Born Free popped into the antique shop where they met Christian, who was getting very big and although he was living a charmed life, it was thought that he would not fare well, long term, in a city environment.
The actors suggested that John and Ace consult with George Adamson to rehabilitate Christian into the African wild. George was a British conservationist and an advocate of lions in Kenya, who together with his wife, Joy, raised and released Elsa the lioness from the movie Born Free. The couple agreed to reintegrate Christian into the wild at their compound in the Kora National Reserve.

George had even selected a small lion pride to which Christian could join when he was ready".

What are the most incredible displays of affection by animals to humans in history?

"Christian the lion was born in a Devon zoo on August 12,1969 but was rejected by his mother and at a few months of age, he was sold to Harrods, the prestigious London department store (how times have changed). John Rendall and Ace Bourke had just moved to London from Australia and while exploring their new city, came upon the great big kitty in the window at Harrods and brought him home to their flat and with the help of a couple of friends, took the greatest care of the cub.

When Christian was about a year old and getting bigger John and Ace ran an antique shop, and made a cozy home for Christian below, while they lived atop the shop.

Movies Stars Prove the Point of Substance Abuse to the Body and Brain Over Time
In my opinion, denial ends when you admit you are an Alcoholic, Addict, and that you have a disease! There are many ways you measure the disease's timeline such as financial deterioration, loss of friends, family, and activities, OR the way you look! Please read my post about the telltale physical traits you can not hide when you are hooked.
Note: Think about yourself, a friend, or educating a young adult. By realizing the signs of the disease, we can take steps to eliminate or shorten the timeline. The people I discussed in this post had a timeline you can physically see. The dates the photos were taken speak volumes. The point of this post is the glaring reality of what we are dealing with over a SHORT time. It is scary, but you can see the waste in people you admire.

I love movies and good TV sitcoms. So, I took the time to look at four, high-profile stars. I'm listing their names, their familiar movies, and their photos before and after their addiction. These photos span 10,15,20 years during which they seriously abused their minds and bodies.

This post comes from the Infectious Disease Advisor December 12th 2022: When it comes to scars, I want to provide an uplift message and here it is.

Facial Scars Do Not Affect Perceived Attractiveness, Confidence

The presence of a facial scar did not significantly impact attractiveness in a univariate linear mixed effects model.
HealthDay News — A single well-healed facial scar does not negatively affect first impressions of attractiveness, confidence, or friendliness, but specific scar location and orientation may result in lower perceived attractiveness, according to a study published in the December issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
Zachary D. Zapatero, M.D., from the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and colleagues recruited adult volunteers to complete a face rating scale to examine how facial scars are perceived. For each face, scars were added digitally in different locations and orientations for a total of 14 unique scars. Fifty different faces were rated on confidence, friendliness, and attractiveness by each participant.
A total of 88,850 ratings (93.4 percent scarred) were analyzed for attractiveness, friendliness, and confidence. The researchers found that the presence of a facial scar did not significantly impact attractiveness in a univariate linear mixed effects model. Interactions between location, subunit placement, and orientation to facial tension lines were examined in a second set of linear mixed effects models. Scars that were located on the lower lid mid subunit perpendicular to facial tension lines were rated as less attractive.
“Contrary to our predictions, we found that a single well-healed scar generally does not affect individuals’ first impressions of perceived attractiveness or confidence negatively and may even increase perceived friendliness,” a coauthor said in a statement.
