I was just scrolling through twitter and noticed people changing profile pictures to the Mumbai police logo. Even on the International nurses day a very few people changed their profile pictures to thank nurses. So, I felt it important to write this blog in  consideration and respect to our doctors who are working sincerely and earnestly with full dedication to serve the mankind and save it from getting vanquished from a microscopic unicellular organism that doesn't even has its own DNA. I salute the doctors and nurses who came up like a warrior and shield for the mankind. So, people wake up if a patient dies its not because of the doctor and the nurses. People wake up and salute, respect, follow what our warriors and superheroes say. People wake up and see where in this situation everyone is panic -striken and fearfull of their own lives these people called doctors and nurses come up in the Palliation,Help, assuage of the mankind. People stop being immature...

In an article published today in   Cell Host and Microbe , Professor Kanta  Subbarao stressed the importance of detecting a neutralizing antibody response in recovered COVID-19 patients, and of studies of COVID-19 vaccines in animal models. Neutralising antibodies prevent infection by binding to a virus and blocking their ability to infect. After an infection, a host can produce neutralising antibodies to protect against future "The speed with which SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, has spread around the world and its toll in numbers of cases, severe illness, and death has been staggering," Says,Kanta Subbarao, Professor, University of Melbourne infection. Professor Subbarao was the Chief of the Emerging Respiratory Viruses Section of the Laboratory of Infectious Diseases at the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Disease at the US National Institutes of Health during the SARS outbreak in 2002-2003, and was central to an important d...

I was just scrolling through the internet and I came across a News that is like a hope of vaccine coming soon so just have a look at this. The biomedical visualization studio Visual Science has created the most detailed and scientifically accurate 3D model of the full SARS-CoV-2 virus at atomic resolution. The model is based on the latest scientific research into the structure of coronaviruses and communication with virologists currently working with the virus. The SARS-CoV-2 virus model is a part of Visual Science's non-commercial Viral Park project. Its past successes include models of HIV, influenza A/H1N1, Ebola, papilloma, and Zika virions. Below there is an interview of Ivan Konstantinov, CEO, and founder of Visual Science. "Visual Science employed the same techniques of structural bioinformatics used in basic research and drug development. The model reflects scientists' current understanding of the virus's architecture. " ...

Contact tracing is a specialized skill . To be done effectively, it requires people with the training, supervision, and access to social and medical support for patients and contacts. Requisite knowledge and skills for contact tracers include, but are not limited to: An understanding of patient confidentiality, including the ability to conduct interviews without violating confidentiality (e.g., to those who might overhear their conversations) Understanding of the medical terms and principles of exposure, infection, infectious period, potentially infectious interactions, symptoms of disease, pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic infection. Resourcefulness in locating patients. Understanding of when to refer individuals or situations to medical, social, or supervisory resources Cultural competency appropriate to the local community Contact tracing is part of the process of supporting patients and warning contacts of exposure in order to stop chains of transmission. ...

Amid this situation and chaos between people about the new virus which is the fear factor of the people this days. I was driven to write about this topic. The CORONA VIRUS or COVID-19.    What is corona virus? Corona virus is a group of related RNA  viruses that cause respiratory tract infections in mammals and animals. Which can range from mild to lethal. Some of the mild infections include common cold which predominantly caused by Rhinovirus. While more lethal varieties include SARS ( Severe acute respiratory syndrome   ), MERS ( Middle east respiratory syndrome) and Covid-19.   Who are more likely to be affected? As the virus causes respiratory problems people with complications like diabetes, high blood pressure. The people who already smoke have their lungs and respiratory tract damaged so these people are more likely to severely affected. What are the preventive measures? Daily take: 1. Vitamin-C. 2.  Vitamin -E. 3.  Sunli...

Is There Any Other Intelligent Life In The Universe? A living being like you or me usually has two elements:a set of instructions that tell the system how to keep going and how to reproduce itself, and a mechanism to carry out the instructions. In biology, these two parts are called genes and metabolism. What we normally think of as 'life' is based on chains of carbon atoms, with few other atoms such as nitrogen or phosphorus. Carbon atoms should exist at all, with all the properties they have, requires a fine adjustment of physical constants such as the QCD scale, the electric charge and even the dimension of space and time. If these constants had a significantly different values , either the carbon atom would not be stable or electrons would collapse on the nucleus. For the Strong Anthropic Principle, one supposes that there are many different universes , each with different values of physical constant. That values allow the existence of the carbon atom which act ...
