I was admitted to my ICU and even my coworkers were just dumbfounded that I was so, so sick,” she said. Dr. Tiago Machuca, a surgeon at UF Health Shands Hospital in Gainseville said, “We are seeing more and more patients in this situation. Those lungs are irreversibly damaged and the only option of leaving the hospital alive will be through a double lung transplant.” According to Dr. Machuca, an international registry shows more than … [Read more...] about Florida Hospital Performed Life Saving Double Lung Transplant On Nurse Who Contracted COVID-19

SEATTLE, Washington: US deaths from the coronavirus will reach 410,000 by the end of the year, more than double the current death toll, and deaths could soar to 3,000 per day in December, the University of Washington's health institute forecast on Friday (Sep 4). Deaths could be reduced by 30 per cent if more Americans wore face masks as epidemiologists have advised, but mask-wearing is declining, the university's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation said. The US death rate projected by the IHME model, which has been cited by the White House Coronavirus Task Force, would more than triple the current death rate of about 850 per day. "We expect the daily death rate in the United States, because of seasonality and declining vigilance of the public, to reach nearly 3,000 a day in December," the institute, which bills itself as an independent research center, said in an update of its periodic forecasts. "Cumulative deaths expected by Jan 1 are 410,000; this is 225,000 … [Read more...] about US COVID-19 deaths projected to more than double to 410,000 by January

NEW YORK: Germany's Laura Siegemund and Russian Vera Zvonareva captured the U.S. Open women's doubles crown with a 6-4 6-4 win over third seeds Nicole Melichar of the United States and China's Yifan Xu on Friday. The unseeded German-Russian duo, who had never competed together before the U.S. Open, broke their opponents three times and won 79per cent of their first-serve points during the 80-minute clash on the Arthur Ashe Stadium court. The victory secured a first Grand Slam doubles championship for Siegemund and a third for Zvonareva as the Russian won the 2006 New York title with Nathalie Dechy and 2012 Australian Open crown with Svetlana Kuznetsova. "It's always special to be a winner at the end of the week, at the end of two weeks especially, a Grand Slam," said Zvonareva. "It never gets boring, I will tell you that for sure." Siegemund and Zvonareva, whose path to the final included a quarter-final win over the defending champions Elise Mertens and Aryna Sabalenka, made … [Read more...] about Siegemund, Zvonareva claim US Open women’s doubles title

NEW YORK: Croatia's Mate Pavic and Brazil's Bruno Soares captured the U.S. Open men's doubles crown with a 7-5 6-3 win over eighth seeds Wesley Koolhof of the Netherlands and Nikola Mektic of Croatia on Thursday (Sep 10). In their first Grand Slam men's doubles final as a team, Pavic did damage with his powerful serve while Soares did well to force their opponents into difficult shots and they sealed the win when Mektic sent a backhand volley into the net. "That's what we practise for and that's what we were tying to do during those five months off, working for this moment," Soares, who won the Australian Open and U.S. Open men's doubles titles in 2016 with Jamie Murray, said during the trophy presentation. A key moment in the match came with Mektic serving at 5-6 15-40 in the first set when Koolhof missed a forehand volley that would have forced a tiebreak. Pavic and Soares went on to grab the next three points to close out the set. The Croatian-Brazilian duo's road to the … [Read more...] about Tennis: Pavic, Soares claim US Open men’s doubles crown

BELFAST: Norway beat Northern Ireland 5-1 in their Nations League match on Monday (Sep 7) with Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland leading the charge with two goals and an assist in Belfast on Monday. Mohamed Elyounoussi gave Norway the lead in the second minute but, after Paddy McNair equalised, Haaland got the goal of the game with an emphatic half-volley from the edge of the box that had keeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell rooted to the spot. Alexander Sorloth made it 3-1 when he scored from a cross at the far post and the striker doubled his tally two minutes after the restart when Norway launched a counter-attack and Haaland forced his way through to lay it on a plate for a simple tap-in. Haaland then got his second by completing a fine move in which the ball moved up the pitch with precise one-touch passes for the 20-year-old hitman to curl it into the top corner. Steven Davis equalled goalkeeper Pat Jennings' record of 119 caps for Northern Ireland but it was a match to … [Read more...] about Football: Norway ride Haaland double to thrash Northern Ireland 5-1
