Angel is now 2 - 0 in random drunken fights with douchebag cops.

Hope this trend continues next season

Its a realistic show. Florida cops are incompetant.

Theory adds up

The new actually competent cop is from out of state.

And the successful lifelong serial killers were as well

Man that Angel/Tripwire/Locust plot was a hell of a gamble.

First the police on the scene had to not notice the blood trail (how did they not)

Then not notice the tripwire and ignore the girl telling them to stop.

Then open the suspicious container that was buzzing (How did he get them all in there anyway?)

Pretty sure God is on his side considering all that worked out as intended.

No? If they didn't sign a prenup that means in a divorce they'll split the assets afaik.

Why would I want for her to have signed one?

If she was the rich person in the situation that found herself a attractive trophy husband I'd want her to have the prenup though.

Prenub just means assets were assigned before the marriage

She could still get a huge amount of money and property through a prenub and save her the battle royal that would come out from family , investors, business colleagues etc if he died without one

Consumption of pigs is forbidden in Islam unless the alternative is death (by starvation)

This is not consumption, and even if it were the alternative would be death

So as a Muslim, I have no objection

For people who need a lung transplant, the wait is often prolonged by the frustrating fact that most donor organs have to be discarded: Only 20% of donated lungs meet medical criteria for transplantation, translating into far fewer organs than people on waiting lists. Now, a team of researchers has shown they might be able to salvage more of these lungs by borrowing a pigs circulatory system.

Delicate lungs recovered from donors are typically connected to perfusion machines that keep oxygen and nutrients flowing to maintain viability, but that works for only about six hours, not long enough for often-injured lung tissue to recover before the organ fails.

Matthew Bacchetta of Vanderbilt University and Gordana Vunjak-Novakovic of Columbia University led a team that extended the current six-hour window for lungs outside the body to 24 hours. As they reported Monday in Nature Medicine, they did it by connecting each of five human lungs declined as too damaged for transplantation to a pig, sharing the animals liver, kidney, and other functions.

In one case, that cross-species cross-circulation allowed a human lung that failed after its six hours of standard perfusion to heal enough to meet transplant requirements and theoretically help a lung patient, though no transplant was done.

Robert Bartlett, a surgeon known for developing another machine to keep organs viable extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, a type of heart-lung machine called ECMO called the work a very important paper. He sees a future in which transplantation wouldnt always be an emergency whose time constraints limit the number of suitable organs. Now retired from clinical practice, he runs a lab at the University of Michigan exploring ways to expand the supply of organs for transplantation, and he was not involved in the new research.

If there were a way to maintain organs in a healthy state outside the body for a day or several days, then many things would change in transplantation, Bartlett said. You could have perfect matching. You could treat organs injured outside the body until theyre working well. So thats what Dr. Bacchetta and his crew are working on. And theyre doing a marvelous job.

Bacchetta and Vunjak-Novakovic, who is a professor of biomedical engineering and medicine at Columbia, previously rehabilitated damaged pig lungs by hooking them up to the circulatory system of another pig. For the current experiments, they connected pigs and human lungs with common problems found after donation: swelling from excess fluid, traumatic injury, damage from inhaled gastric fluids. All the organs had gone through six hours of perfusion before being declined for transplant. For the experiments, immune suppression drugs were infused into the pigs to prevent rejection of the human lung.

While connected to the pigs, the organs cells and function were monitored. After 24 hours, the lungs had improved and would likely continue to get better, the researchers said.

Bacchetta, who is an associate professor of surgery at Vanderbilt, compared the lungs recovery to what happens after spraining an ankle. Inflammation and healing take time, he said, more than can be supplied by six hours on a perfusion machine which he said has significantly improved lung transplantation in the decade since it was introduced. The pig performs as a natural bioreactor to allow repair of the donated lungs.

All of a sudden, [the lungs are] attached to a functioning liver, a functioning gut. We dont have to worry about glucose regulation because theres a pancreas. All of these metabolites that are formed are now cleared, he said. We used a fairly standard immunosuppressive regimen and took these rejected lungs and showed that we could actually sustain them and make them better.

To translate these findings into the clinic will take a deeper understanding of how magic molecules recondition these organs, Bartlett said. Its something in the blood plasma exchanged between the animal and the organs, he said, not white blood cells or elements of the blood. Once we know why it works, well really be able to isolate those molecules and achieve the same thing. From work in our laboratory and others, we think that this will be possible within a couple of years.

Christian Bermudez, a surgeon and director of thoracic transplantation at the University of Pennsylvania, said he was intrigued by the concept of using pigs as bioreactors. It makes sense. There are some issues from the immunologic standpoint that need to be further assessed or some infection problems that also need to be addressed, but I dont see them as insurmountable for a temporary solution like this.

Pigs as bioreactors called xenogeneic cross-circulation would represent a different way for humans to benefit from the animals. Scientists have pushed the frontiers of xenotransplantation by genetically engineering pigs to lack certain viruses that would harm people should pig organs be transplanted into them. The biotech company eGenesis is testing CRISPRd pig organs in nonhuman primates in China.

Beyond transplantation, Bacchetta sees cross-circulation to keep organs viable as a boon for basic scientists studying stem cells or drugs to regenerate organs. He also thinks this technique could be applied to other injuries.

I served in the U.S. Army in Iraq and Afghanistan so Im familiar with the need for salvaging tissue and limbs, he said

For now, he is focused on improving outcomes for lung patients, including the possibility of connecting donated lungs to patients while they wait for a transplant, following the bioreactor model for organs to repair themselves outside the body, even if attached to very sick people.

In these patients, their liver works, their gut works, their heart works. But their lungs dont work. So how about if I attach some lungs that are damaged? Its reversible damage. Let their body work essentially as a bioreactor and allow those lungs to heal.

Bartlett thinks that approach is feasible. I think the Bacchetta group will hopefully do that, and do it soon.

Theres precedent, Bermudez noted, dating to the first open-heart surgery using cross-circulation in 1954. In that operation, C. Walton Lillehei repaired a 13-month-old boys heart defect while the child was attached to his fathers circulatory system, temporarily taking over the hearts job of pumping and oxygenation.

Bacchetta is focused on pushing higher the proportion of suitable donations in order to reduce the mismatch between the number of donated lungs and the number of patients in danger of dying on the waiting list. The shortage has been exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic, which caused donations of all organ types to plunge. There were 54 lung transplants performed from June 28 through July 4, according to the latest weekly figures from the United Network for Organ Sharing, but there were 1,075 people on the waiting list on July 11.

Increasing that donation number from 20% to 40% would have an immediate and profound impact, he said. And it would also allow us to rethink our criteria for people we may have not thought eligible for transplantation because we know what a scarce resource it is.

What do Jewish and Muslim people think about this?

And no that's not a snide comment, I'm legitimately curious. Could you use a human organ as a transplant that was corrupted but then repaired by being shared with pigs blood?

Your young adult daughter marries a millionaire business tycoon over 30 years older than her. You're not sure if he is aware of it but it's clear to you (and most people) that she doesn't even like him, marrying him only for his cash.

He doesn't beat her or anything malicious but he is very cold and controlling when he's around. He's a successful masculine rich man used to getting his way all the time and she does everything he tells her to do like a good trophy wife. He views her as a prized possession more than as a person.

Upside is he isn't around too much since he is busy and she has (within reason) free reign to spend his money when he's not around, plus live in a mansion.

Also their kids will get into the best schools in the nation as easily as you get into McDonalds.
