Monkeypox is nothing new, and the virus is endemic in several countries. But when cases started appearing beyond the expected places—and among people who didn’t travel to those endemic regions—researchers paid attention. [...] We’ve been aware of monkeypox for decades, and we have been interested in it mostly because it’s a cousin of smallpox. It is a related orthopoxvirus. The symptoms, although somewhat less severe, are quite similar to smallpox. In most cases, it causes relatively mild illness, meaning most people don’t end up in the hospital with it. [...] It spreads through large respiratory droplets and bodily fluids, so mostly it spreads through close or intimate contact with other people. It’s not highly contagious— nothing like COVID, for example. [...] The Monkeypox virus does tend to be a very stable virus. Unlike COVID, or flu that’s mutating constantly, the orthopoxviruses tend to be quite stable. I think the expectation is that the vaccines would still be effective.

White Blood
Doctors in Germany faced something they had never seen before. A 39-year-old patient’s blood was so pale and thick that it looked like milk. The medical condition was not a mystery. The (1) nearly comatose patient suffered from extreme hypertriglyceridemia. It is caused by too much fat in the blood.
Siphoning off the offending triglyceride molecules and returning the cleaned plasma to the body usually solves the problem. However, when staff tried the normal route, his viscous blood clogged the hospital’s filtering equipment. Not once, but twice. The problem was a record amount of triglycerides. Around 500 mg/dL is considered “high.” The man’s count read (2) an astonishing 18,000 mg/dL.
Desperate to save his life, doctors (3) resorted to an ancient remedy abandoned by modern medicinebloodletting. A good amount of the white gunk was drained and replaced with red blood cell concentrates and saline solution. It worked. (4) Although the cause of the severity is unknown, the patient’s genes, obesity, and irregular consumption of his diabetes medication might have combined to cause the mother of all hypertriglyceridemia cases.
