Our long term resident, 3 legged Barron is not very well. Sadly he has been diagnosed with congestive heart failure causing severe ascites in the abdomen. Treatment has begun and he is under close observation as his condition is serious. Healing thoughts for Barron please 🙏🏼

i hope pete hegseth drowns in his own ascites when he finally manages to drink himself to death
Gotta love how the party that wraps itself in the flag and claims to be the TRUE PATRIOTS seeks to ruin the lives of people who dedicated their lives to serving our country because “literally just openly admits he makes shit up knowing the media will run with it anyway” is seen as a higher calling.

So today is 2 years since my procedure for ascites was done which also means today is 2 years since I was declared cancer free.
Ascites is just fancy talk for a buildup of fluid in your abdomen. A complication of my lymph node surgery was that fluid was leaking into my abdomen.

Ascites is like carrying around a hot tub:
Huge energy bill!
1⃣Kilocalorie= energy to 🔥1L by 1°C
2⃣Ascites=Heating ~5-10L to 36°C 24hrs/day
3⃣Energy comes from body breakdown (sarcopenia)
If you⬇️ascites➡️the energy bill falls

Although we agreed that scrabbling around to find a tape measure at 2am so I could measure my belly to assure myself that the ascites wasn’t coming back was probably suboptimal.

WHERE does the ascites actually come from?
The weeping liver!
Check this 1955 paper out:
Method: clamped IVC in dogs
Result: Ascites beaded on the liver surface. Covering the liver with a bag collects all the ascites, keeps the gut dry

Me, all night: omg Rodney’s got a round belly, he’s put on weight, what if it’s ascites, the vet said that was how the cancer would progress, omg I’m going to lose my cat.
Rodney: Fuck you, cancer, I’m gonna eat myself back to my baseline weight and get gold stars from the vet.

Lipids in ovarian cancer ascites impair T cell activation by disrupting TCR dynamics - Nature Metabolism
This study demonstrates that lipids in ascites impair T cell activation through disrupting TCR dynamics, which has translational implications for adoptive T cell therapies.

Dear search engine, I am looking for an ascot, not ascites. They are very different things.
(Don't Google ascites if you don't know what it is, it's a medical condition just leave it at that)

Mesothelial cells promote peritoneal invasion and metastasis of ascites-derived ovarian cancer cells through spheroid formation
Ovarian cancer cells form spheroids with surrounding mesothelial cells in the ascites, altering them to facilitate metastasis.

Carvedilol a winner in Cirrhosis + Ascites
🤔New ascites with minimal or no varices. Carvediolol vs standard Rx.
👍Was safe, reduced mortality, fewer ascites related comps, higher HVPG response. Even better control of ascites.
A small study, but encouraging.

I am genuinely impressed that Peterborough Infirmary's mortality rate was 3.7% in 1870. Especially considering the complexity of some of the cases: removing a 12lb ovarian tumour with ascites is not an easy operation.
