AdvertisementAdvertisementA newly released necropsy reveals that Lolita — a 57-year-old orca who spent nearly all her life in captivity — died from the progression of multiple chronic illnesses, including pneumonia, kidney degeneration, and a chronic heart condition. The necropsy also listed 17 other illnesses in the aging orca, including gastritis, tongue ulcers, and keratitis — an inflammation of the cornea. The 5,000-pound orca lived in the world's smallest orca enclosure — only 80 by 35 feet with a depth of 20 feet.

Adenovirus (highly contagious virus causing lymphadenopathy symptomatizing swelling of the glands in the neck, accompanied by a cold, or pharyngitis, or bronchitis, sometimes also conjunctivitis, keratitis, or a combination of the two (keratoconjunctivitis). LONDON — A U.K. study showed that symptoms of a cold can linger well beyond the main period of illness, suggesting that rather like "long Covid," "long colds" can also exist. The study, published Friday in scientific journal The Lancet, showed that non-Covid infections can be associated with a range of illnesses more than four weeks after the initial infection. After studying 10,171 participants, scientists at the Queen Mary University of London concluded that there may be long-lasting health impacts from other respiratory infections, such as the common cold, that are unrecognized. They were unable to say whether the symptoms of "long colds" would last as long as those of "long Covid."
