    7 year old bioprosthetic aortic valve - clot

    While I am pro-Science & not an anti-vaxxer, the vaccines are correlated with problems for some. This is a recent paper on very rare occular problems. Note that having Covid can also cause similar problems. The odds for a different etiology (such as many brought up by other replies) would be...

    Foldax Continues

    Thanks for this update & Link (with other great articles, as well). My sister had an opportunity to be in their KS trials earlier & declined. Hope things continue to go well for the clinical participants. We owe a lot to trial participants

    Covid 19 vaccine recommendations

    No research specifically addressing vaccine concerns for post-cardiac surgery have come thru the C19 research page that I follow (yet). This may/not be relevant to consider, as part of Risks vs Benefit, although we are on an extended learning curve. Iceland suspends use of Moderna's Covid...

    Covid 19 vaccine recommendations

    I am also on a private FB page where we Post/Discuss the ever-evolving Covid19 research (there is an amazing amount). There have been maybe 6 papers on the issue of sequentially mix/matched types of vaccines. In some countries, this was forced by circumstances of inadequate supply/options. Here...

    Covid Vaccines

    A business eZine recently promoted suing for damages, if an unvaxed person transmitted C19 your way. Probably tricky to prove in court, but maybe the potential of such litigation will encourage some to vax.

    Up and down INR!?

    @ATHENS1964 @Dana Thanks for above cite. Here is another one I've collected re osteo but now have known AV calcification, so will wait til my latest DEXA results (now that I'm on a pricey multi with K2M7). If still problems, will try the Natto again (it's an acquired taste IMHO), as it seems...

    Colonoscopy

    Understood - you have Risk factors, I do not. The "real" protocol now includes the position that stool samples are adequate unless there are known Risk factors or the stool shows a risk factor. Cologuard includes a DNA screening that is more effective than the older cheap stool lab.

    Colonoscopy

    And after Cologuard results, re-evaluate whether a colonoscopy is justified or not.
