Carrie Dodds-Hallan was diagnosed with acute Myeloid Leukaemia in June while expecting her sixth child
A big-hearted Blackpool man is raising funds to help the family of a mum-of-six who was given just a day to live after being diagnosed with leukaemia.
He said: “Poppy came out really poorly, and Carrie was on a mild chemo, but I was made up when I saw them come home. Carrie calls her her ‘mini lioness'. Carrie told LancsLive in August: "It had attacked my body so quickly. My white blood cells were at 198, so I had to have chemotherapy and a blood wash. Once I had that, [the doctor] said I could have a future and that's when I started to pick up.”
"Carrie is currently in ill health with cancer at Blackpool hospital and soon to be moved to Manchester hospital, so I thought because of the challenges she is going through we should do our bit.

Severe Neuro-COVID is associated with peripheral immune signatures, autoimmunity and neurodegeneration: a prospective cross-sectional study - Nature CommunicationsBoth acute and chronic COVID-19 disease (also known as long-COVID) may affect the central nervous system. Here authors characterize the immunological profile of peripheral blood and cerebrospinal fluid of COVID-19 patients in order to identify the main factors that contribute to neurological impairment and the severity of neurological symptoms in Sars-CoV-2 infection.

Timing and Trends for Municipal Wastewater, Lab-Confirmed Case, and Syndromic Case Surveillance of COVID-19 in Raleigh, North CarolinaObjectives. To compare 4 COVID-19 surveillance metrics in a major metropolitan area. Methods. We analyzed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA in wastewater influent and primary solids in Raleigh, North Carolina, from April 10 through December 13, 2020. We compared wastewater results with lab-confirmed COVID-19 cases and syndromic COVID-like illness (CLI) cases to answer 3 questions: (1) Did they correlate? (2) What was the temporal alignment of the different surveillance systems? (3) Did periods of significant change (i.e., trends) align? Results. In the Raleigh sewershed, wastewater influent, wastewater primary solids, lab-confirmed cases, and CLI were strongly or moderately correlated. Trends in lab-confirmed cases and wastewater influent were observed earlier, followed by CLI and, lastly, wastewater primary solids. All 4 metrics showed sustained increases in COVID-19 in June, July, and November 2020 and sustained decreases in August and September 2020. Conclusions. In a major metropolitan area in 2020, the timing of and trends in municipal wastewater, lab-confirmed case, and syndromic case surveillance of COVID-19 were in general agreement. Public Health Implications. Our results provide evidence for investment in SARS-CoV-2 wastewater and CLI surveillance to complement information provided through lab-confirmed cases.
