When this happens, the immune system releases chemicals into the bloodstream that attack the body’s own tissues. Blood pressure drops dangerously low, potentially causing organ failure. This article covers the causes and symptoms of septic shock along with how it’s diagnosed and treated. It also includes information about when septic shock is most likely to happen and who is most at risk. Steps Leading to Septic Shock Typically, the body responds to an infection by keeping it where it started....

A seven-time champion at the All England Club, Serena started her bid for another title 24 hours after her sister Venus had been condemned to a shock defeat at the hands of 15-year-old Cori Gauff. There never appeared any danger of the younger Williams sibling suffering a similar fate against Gatto-Monticone, a 31-year-old Italian who has never won a grand slam match or even recorded a victory over a top-100 player, yet this was from a vintage Serena performance, which perhaps comes as no surprise given her lack of competitive action in recent months....

The 4-year-old, whose full name is Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., wore a black Nike dress bedazzled with rhinestones, which mimicked the ensemble Williams played in. The tot’s hair was also a tribute to the 23-time Grand Slam champion, with white beads adorning the bottom of Olympia’s braids. This was the hairstyle that Williams wore in 1999 when she won her first U.S. Open. This week, the tennis champion began what would likely be her last U....

The 36-year-old gave birth to her first daughter, Alexis Olympia, in September. The former world number one returned to competitive action this year, reaching the final of Wimbledon last month. She suffered a 6-1 6-0 loss to Johanna Konta in the first round of Silicon Valley Classic last week, the heaviest defeat of her career. The 23-time grand slam singles champion subsequently withdrew from the Rogers Cup, a WTA Premier 5 event staged in Montreal....

So far, the good intentions have fallen short. Despite the attempt to lure suburban white kids, Kansas City schools are less integrated than they were when the magnet-school program began: 75 percent of the students are minorities. Many black students have benefited-one magnet-school graduate won a Rhodes scholarship after college last year. But half of all students who enter high school don’t graduate. Test scores are up only in the lower grades; students in magnet schools actually test slightly worse than children in the 18 traditional schools that haven’t joined the program....

The Tide travel to Starkville to take on Mississippi State (3:30 p.m. ET, CBS) in the SEC’s game of the week. Last season, Alabama ended the Bulldogs’ perfect season with a 25-20 home win as a nine-point favorite. MORE: Alabama-MSU matchup, stats, trends page Line: Alabama -8 Total: 51.5 Line movement: Alabama opened -7 or -7.5 at most shops and has moved up to -8 across Vegas. Golden Nugget opened the Tide there, then moved to -9 before going back down....

Lines of Treatment When oncologist talk about “lines of treatment” they are referring to different approaches to treating cancer at different times. This can be confusing, and example is likely the best way to describe how this works. The initial treatment used to treat a cancer after diagnosis is referred to as first-line treatment or first-line therapy. First line treatment can include more than one treatment method. For example, if a woman has surgery followed by chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer, the combination of therapies is still considered first line therapy....

The difference between the two has to do with what the disorder is associated with. Secondary polycythemia is associated with an underlying disease process, but primary polycythemia is not. Secondary Polycythemia Symptoms Symptoms of secondary polycythemia, which are the same as those for primary polycythemia, may include: WeaknessHeadacheFatigueLightheadednessShortness of breathVisual disturbancesItching (pruritus)Pain in the chest or leg musclesRuddy complexionConfusionRinging in the ears (tinnitus)Burning sensations of the hands or feet...

Onset The majority of people with RRMS transition to SPMS, which is characterized by steadier progression of symptoms and disability with fewer or no relapses (when symptoms get worse). Remissions after a relapse aren’t complete and symptoms continue. However, since the development of disease-modifying therapies, the progression to secondary MS has become less frequently noted. You can go from having RRMS to SPMS at any time, but the process is gradual and, in most patients, slow....

This is why coaches are paid millions upon millions of dollars. This is why, when universities have the opportunity to secure a man who transcends the sport and the idea of coaching, does it really matter what it costs? “There’s not a better investment for Baylor,” says Baylor president Ken Starr, “than Art Briles.” Years ago, before Briles arrived, Baylor had less fans for home games at creaky old Floyd Casey Stadium than it did for Sunday’s Bear Walk over that bridge — which just so happens to have a title sponsor....

With the game having secured funding by reaching its Kickstarter goal and finishing at $885,000, fans are slowly getting more and more details and behind the scenes looks at the game during its development process. One of those comes courtesy of a behind the scenes mo-cap session featuring Kane Hodder showing off some new and classic Jason kills. Hodder, who actually played the character in Friday The 13th: Part 7 through Jason X, ended up recording over 400 animations for Friday The 13th: The Game, which will no doubt keep players quite busy as they work to see them all once the game ends up launching later this year....

It won’t be visible everywhere, though, and those who live in eastern parts of the U.S. may not see much of anything because the moon will already have set. Fortunately for those who cannot see it in their own patch of sky, the event will be streamed live on the internet. The Virtual Telescope Project, based in Italy, is offering live footage of the lunar eclipse in a stream starting 6:00 a....

Gursky’s parents were both commercial photographers, but he ended up at the avant-garde Kunstakademie in Dusseldorf, the famous art school that gave the world painters Anselm Kiefer and Sigmar Polke. Gursky studied with Bernd and Hilla Becher, whose black-and-white, deadpan studies of vernacular architecture acquired so much gallery cachet in the 1970s that Akademie students eagerly adopted their teachers’ formula for pictorial success. Which was: pick a mundane but plentiful subject like buildings or portraits, and get all the details....

That was in January 1993. I was there, and every time I hear diplomats and politicians, whether in Washington or the capitals of Europe, declare that Saddam Hussein is a “secular Baathist ideologue” who has nothing to do with Islamists or with terrorist calls to jihad, I think of that afternoon and I wonder what they’re talking about. If that was not a fledgling Qaeda itself at the Rashid convention, it sure was Saddam’s version of it....

Although details on the story are still slim, fans can get an early insight into some of the case’s major players via a first look at Lost Judgment’s intro cinematic. The clip was published by SEGA’s YouTube channel earlier today, offering a moody look at the game’s environments and characters as well as an introduction to the sequel’s new theme song, Rasen, which is performed by jon-YAKITORY and features Ado....

Metacritic takes into account a variety of different metrics in creating its list, all of which Sega performed excellently in. The biggest metric for Sega’s games were their overall scores and the percentage at which they were ranked “good.” There were 38 total products by Sega scored on Metacritic in 2020, with 28 of them being distinct games. Of those score products, 95 percent of them were scored as “good,” and 0 percent were bad....

For starters, right after you have beaten Gyoubu Oniwa and after finding the Sculptor’s idol, Go exactly in the opposite direction, climb up the stairs, take a right, move past the entrance in the left and after moving straight, take a left. Here you will be a merchant called “Memorial Mob.” Purchase a prosthetic weapon called “Robert’s firecracker.” Did that? Good, now you’re ready to face the Blazing Bull....

Prayer beads, for those not in the know, are a collectible upgrade material that boosts the One-Armed Wolf’s maximum vitality and posture. Turning in 4 to a Sculptor’s idol will boost the player’s health by 20%, and with there being 40 total in a single playthrough, that means Sekiro players can get a maximum of 200% more health (10 prayer bead necklaces.) However, obtaining them is not always so simple....

Many of Bethesda’s games launched for previous generation consoles. Due to the extensive maps and complex details, titles like Fallout 76 saw downgrades in graphics due to hardware available at the time. Framerate can typically be the first reduced, because higher counts can result in poor performance depending on the technology. Now that the next generation Xbox consoles are out, these caps can go away to allow for a much smoother experience....

RUMOURS: Chelsea move for Sanchez Sturridge has failed to score in nine Premier League appearances this season and has not played for three weeks due to a calf injury. The England international’s difficult first half of the campaign has prompted speculation he could be sold by manager Jurgen Klopp in the January transfer window, talk that has intensified after Divock Origi scored in three consecutive matches during his absence....
