Cheap vaccine and effective treatment Here are the latest studies on the Corona virus
Reading time: 6 minutes The fight against the epidemic is taking place in full swing in the different countries of the world inside the laboratories, laboratories, and hospitals, and researchers and scientists from various specialties in the countries of the world are still trying to stop the Coronavirus, whether by finding a vaccine that prevents us against it, a cure for it, or methods of protection. In order to achieve this, new medical research and studies and techniques appear daily, and we review the most important ones published during the first week of November.
Detection of the person infected with Corona from the sound of coughing
A group of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has developed an artificial intelligence model that can detect asymptomatic cases of the corona by listening to the nuances of coughing between healthy and infected people.The team has set up a website where volunteers, whether healthy or with coronavirus, can record their cough using their cell phones or computers. With a questionnaire filled out about their diagnosis and any symptoms, they were experiencing. Through this site, researchers have collected more than 70,000 individual cough sample records. And the artificial intelligence model was able to correctly identify 98.5% of people with corona, and correctly exclude 94.2% of people without the disease. As for people who do not have any symptoms, the model correctly identified 100% of people with corona and correctly excluded 83.2% of people without the disease.
And eye tissues are resistant to corona

A new study explains the cause of blood clots among Corona patients and attributes the reason to the presence of an autoimmune antibody that spreads in the blood and attacks cells and leads to clots in arteries, veins, and microscopic vessels. These microscopic clots restrict blood flow to the lungs, which impairs the gas exchange in the lungs.
The researchers found that about half of the patients who showed severe symptoms had high levels of dangerous antibodies and neutrophils - a type of white blood cell - super-activated. The researchers say that these antibodies cause the worst blood clots ever and that this calls for a strong treatment to remove these antibodies by plasma apheresis. It is the process in which the plasma is withdrawn from the patient’s blood while preserving the blood cells and platelets, and the replacement is with new plasma donated from another person.

Air pollution increases the risk of death in Corona
A new study published in the journal Science Advance revealed that people who are exposed for a long time to air pollutants may be more likely to die from the Coronavirus and that just a slight increase in the average long-term exposure to particles of fine pollutants increased the risk of death in Corona by more than 10%.
The study looked at coronavirus deaths data and compared them to concentrations of micro-pollutants estimated daily across the United States. The researchers found that the slight increase in pollution - only 1 microgram per cubic meter - was associated with an 11% increase in the Corona mortality rate.

Delirium is an early sign of infection with the Coronavirus
Researchers from the Spanish University of Alberta de Catalunya concluded that delirium accompanied by fever, especially in the elderly, could be an early symptom of infection with corona, and the research was published in the Journal of Clinical Immunology and Immunotherapy.
Coronavirus affects the central nervous system and causes neurocognitive changes such as headache and delirium. The main hypotheses that explain how the Coronavirus affects the brain indicate three possible causes: cerebral hypoxia, inflammation of brain tissue, and that the virus has the ability to pass from the blood to the brain barrier to directly invade the brain. And that any of these three factors has the potential to cause delirium, and the researchers explained that evidence of brain damage related to hypoxia was observed in autopsies performed on patients who died of corona and that it was possible to isolate the virus from brain tissue.
Osteoporosis medications also have a role in the treatment

Osteoporosis medications also have a role in the treatment
Some of the main treatments for osteoporosis can have a protective effect against corona in patients who take them, either by reducing its incidence or by reducing its progression to more serious conditions, according to the results of a study that is the first of its kind in the world. The study analyzed data for more than 2000 patients suffering from osteoporosis, arthritis, and fibromyalgia (fibromyalgia), and the various treatments used in these diseases were studied, the development of rheumatism patients with non-inflammatory diseases and their relationship to infection with the Coronavirus, the development of their condition and their need for hospitalization and deaths among them. The study concluded that the incidence of corona decreases by 30-40% in patients who take osteoporosis treatment drugs.
In another study, researchers collected information from 2159 patients infected with Coronavirus from hospitals in Spain during the first wave of the epidemic, and then compared the death rates of patients who were treated with the cholesterol-lowering "statin" drug, with the death rates among those who did not take this drug, knowing that one of the Every 4 people who take this drug, and the study proved that the group receiving this treatment has a lower mortality rate of 22-25%. The data indicate that treatment with statins prevents one in five deaths.
They recover quickly and preserve antibodies

Researchers have indicated that pregnant women infected with the Coronavirus have an increased risk of developing another severe disease, according to a report presented by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The center received reports on 1,300,938 women between the ages of 15 and 44 whose laboratory results indicated that pregnant women with coronavirus infection were more likely to enter the intensive care unit, use ventilators and then die, compared to non-pregnant women, depending on age and race. And basic medical conditions.
The researchers explained that understanding the risk posed by corona infection in pregnant women can benefit clinical practices, communication about risks, and customizing medical countermeasures. And they stressed that pregnant women should be informed of the risk of severe disease with Corona.

Could the Corona vaccine be a nasal spray?
Researchers from the University of Nebraska, American, have been able to develop a vaccine against the Coronavirus, which does not cause pain and is low in cost, relying on lactobacillus bacteria «naturally present in milk and cheese» are bioengineered that can deliver the antigens «that are the component of the vaccine that triggers an immune response» directly to the mucous membranes of a device Breath in through a spray in the nose.
This strategy may provide stronger protection against Corona than the vaccines currently under experiment because they mimic natural infection, and produce antibodies and immune cells in the main sites from which the virus enters. Also, obtaining, multiplying, and genetically modifying Lactobacillus is easy and relatively inexpensive, and it will not require the use of injections, which reduces equipment costs, nor will it necessarily require trained health care workers, as people may be able to spray the nasal spray themselves, and these features make the vaccine viable. In developing countries.
