Terrifying: 12-year-old girl put in coma after vaping

A 12-year-old girl from Belfast, Ireland, was placed in an induced coma after vaping caused severe damage to her lungs, exacerbating her asthma and leading to an infection. The girl's oxygen levels were dangerously low, and she was rushed to the hospital where she was placed on a ventilator. After several days, she was brought out of the coma but still faces long-term impacts on her health. Doctors warned that if she had not vaped, her ability to fight off the infection would have been better. Experts are increasingly warning against the known and unknown effects of vaping, urging people to avoid it unless it is a short-term attempt to quit smoking.

COVID-19 linked to increased risk of diabetes, Canadian study finds.

A study conducted in British Columbia found that people who contracted COVID-19 had a 15 to 20 per cent greater chance of developing diabetes. The study, which analyzed 629,935 British Columbians, also found that men were more likely to develop diabetes than women. The study's authors emphasized the importance of monitoring people after COVID-19 infection for new-onset diabetes for timely diagnosis and treatment. The study's findings suggest that doctors should consider diabetes as more common than they might otherwise expect, and should consider whether it's a factor for people facing long covid symptoms. The study's authors also called on the healthcare system and frontline workers to consider the implications of the study's findings.
