🍺Have you ever thought you could get drunk without actually drinking alcohol?

🍻It appears that a body can ferment an ingested carbohydrate by gut fungi resulting in endogenous production of ethanol.

📑The paper “Auto-Brewery Syndrome: A Schematic
for Diagnosis and Appropriate Treatment” by Malik, Wickremesinghe and  Saleem (2021) describes about this syndrome which has been described in the medical literature for over 50 years but still remains misunderstood with limited information regarding diagnosis and treatment.

💊While prior use of antibiotics, inflammatory bowel disease and short bowel syndrome are some of the risk factors for this syndrome, people with this syndrome can have smell of an alcohol with side effects of alcohol like fatty liver, liver cirrhosis and chronic pancreatitis, not to forget psychiatric symptoms like altered mood, anxiety and depression.

Imagine getting arrested for DWI because your gut fungi and bacterias decided to produce alcohol.😁

Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman in America to receive a medical degree, was born on February 3, 1821, near Bristol, England. After moving to America with her family in 1832, they faced financial difficulties following the death of her father in 1838. Alongside her mother and sisters, Blackwell worked as a teacher to support their needs.

Inspired by a dying friend who wished for a female physician, Blackwell decided to pursue a career in medicine. Despite the prevailing norms of the time, which excluded women from medical education, she persisted in her ambition. In 1847, Blackwell applied to medical schools in Philadelphia but faced rejection from all. However, she was ultimately admitted to Geneva College in New York, albeit mistakenly due to what was meant as a practical joke.

During her time at Geneva College, Blackwell faced discrimination and exclusion from lectures and labs. Nonetheless, she earned the respect of her professors and peers and graduated at the top of her class in 1849. She furthered her training in London and Paris hospitals, where she witnessed the importance of preventative care and hygiene practices that other doctors often neglected.

Upon returning to New York City in 1851, Blackwell encountered widespread discrimination against female physicians, resulting in limited patients and challenges in practicing in hospitals and clinics. Undeterred, she opened a small clinic to provide healthcare to impoverished women. Eventually, in 1857, she established the New York Infirmary for Women and Children with her sister Emily Blackwell and colleague Marie Zakrzewska. The infirmary not only provided medical care but also created opportunities for women physicians.

During the Civil War, Elizabeth and Emily Blackwell focused on training nurses for Union hospitals. In 1868, Elizabeth opened a medical college in New York City and appointed Emily as its head. She then returned to London permanently in 1869, where she became a professor of gynecology at the newly established London School of Medicine for Women. Additionally, Blackwell played a pivotal role in founding the National Health Society and authored notable books, including her autobiography, "Pioneer Work in Opening the Medical Profession to Women" (1895).

Elizabeth Blackwell's unwavering determination not only allowed her to overcome gender-based barriers but also paved the way for numerous women seeking careers in medicine. Her contributions to healthcare, medical education, and the advancement of women in the field continue to inspire generations of future physicians.

😇 A kind reminder about our tomorrow's grand blood donation campaign.

😇 Remember that we are doing this for mothers who are dying on their operation table, seeking blood during labor. We are also doing this for children who are suffering from cancer and need blood transfusions on a regular basis. Our brothers, sisters, fathers, and mothers cannot undergo surgery because of a lack of blood.

😇 Let’s all try to donate and motivate others to donate too.

👉You can donate at:
📌 Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital
📌 Sefere selam campus
📌 Yeka Subcity
📌 Merkato Anwar Mesjid

See you all tomorrow 🤗
