The student said that he went to Mackay Emergency Department because of abdominal pain that night. He took painkillers and went home to rest. The next day, he felt increasingly uncomfortable, so he went to Zhenxing Emergency Department. By then, he was in so much pain that he could not walk. He was diagnosed with peritonitis, enlarged intestines, and ascites, and was immediately hospitalized.

On the 10th, the mother reported to the health center and fully informed the incident. However, the school did not investigate and the hot food department did not temporarily suspend operations and continued to allow students to continue purchasing.

The student mentioned that he is still undergoing blood culture and the results have not yet come out. He is still hospitalized. He originally wanted to wait until the discharge doctor's certificate and other documents are complete before posting. However, considering that there are countless high school seniors in the school who are about to take the test, he does not want more people to take risks. Therefore, he posted the post in advance, hoping that everyone should choose food carefully and take good care of their bodies.

The Health Bureau stated that it will send personnel to conduct inspections in accordance with the principles of good food hygiene practices, focusing on personnel hygiene, food handling, vector prevention and workplace hygiene, etc. If relevant hygiene deficiencies are found, they will be required to make improvements within a time limit. If the regulations are still not met after re-inspection, a fine of 60,000 to 200 million yuan will be imposed in accordance with Articles 8 and 44 of the Food Safety Law.

An ophthalmologist from the National Taiwan University Branch in Hsinchu reminds: Glaucoma is asymptomatic in its early stages, and high-risk groups should undergo regular check-ups.

Whether a person is fat or not depends on the "roundness index", which is more reliable than BMI

The article points out that the BMI index has limitations and cannot accurately reflect body composition, which may mislead bodybuilders and those with excess visceral fat. Introducing the BRI index (Body Roundness Index) as an alternative, which is calculated through height and waist circumference, and can better assess visceral fat accumulation and related health risks, especially for middle-aged and elderly men, which is more accurate in predicting chronic diseases.

Interpretation of pulmonary nodule reports: More than 95% are benign, but attention needs to be paid to density, morphology and follow-up changes

Pulmonary nodules are common in physical examination, and more than 95% are benign. However, the risk of malignancy depends not only on the size, but also on the density type (for example, mixed ground-glass nodules have a higher risk), morphological characteristics (burrs, lobes, etc. increase the risk) and dynamic follow-up changes. Non-smokers may also suffer from lung cancer, which is often asymptomatic in the early stages. People who develop dry cough, hemoptysis, shoulder and back pain, etc. need to be vigilant. Annual low-dose spiral CT screening is recommended for high-risk groups, and the report should be evaluated by a specialist.
