What should asthma patients know during a Coronavirus pandemic

صورة
The new respiratory coronavirus COVID-19 is particularly worrying for the 2.7 million Australians who already suffer from asthma. That's roughly  one in nine  people. Viral respiratory infections, in particular those that cause the common cold, typically trigger flareups of asthma. They are the main reason for asthma episodes in both children and adults during autumn and winter. So it's natural for asthmatics to fear they may be more at risk during the coronavirus pandemic. We do not yet know if asthma sufferers are at risk of more serious problems than others in the event of an infection, but they can do some things to reduce the impact of infection, whether catching a cold or a coronavirus infection. Good asthma control Asthma causes inflammation in the lining of the airways of the lung, and the condition is long-term for most asthma patients, adults or children. It can lead to a progressive narrowing of the alveoli, and normal lung function may no longer return. Good asthma ...

Coronavirus causes hepatitis!

Coronavirus causes hepatitis! A woman was transferred to the emergency department at Northwell Health Hospital in New York, where her laboratory tests showed high levels of liver enzymes with a dark color of urine, then her temperature rose on the second day of her care so that doctors would then discover her infection with the new Coronavirus, according to a report of researchers from the hospital. This is the first documented case of a patient with COVID-19 who suffered acute hepatitis symptoms as the first symptom of the disease before respiratory symptoms appeared, according to the report, which was published on the website of the American Journal of Gastroenterology. According to previous data on the disease, most of the early signs of COVID-19 infection are symptoms affecting the respiratory system such as fever, shortness of breath, sore throat and cough, in addition to pneumonia that is inferred by radiographs, although disruption of liver enzymes is not an uncommon symptom of ...

Virologists explain what the coronavirus does to the body

صورة
Coronavirus «coronaviruses» belong to a group of viruses that infect animals, and its name is derived from its crown-like or aura-like appearance, as it contains bulbs of bulbs that emerge from its surface and give it a distinctive look. COVID-19 disease was caused by the new coronavirus, SARS-Cove-2. Coronavirus infection is in one of two ways: either an infection in the lungs causes some cases that people call colds or an infection in the intestine that causes diarrhea. COVID-19 disease begins in the lungs, as is a common "cold" that is also caused by coronaviruses but then causes immune system sabotage which can lead to death or long-term lung damage. Genetically, the SARS-Cove-2 virus is very similar to other coronaviruses that affect the human respiratory system, such as the Coronavirus associated with the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-Cove), and the Coronavirus associated with the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS-Cove virus). However, subtle genetic diff...

How to caress and stretch the cat according to science

Many of us will face that friendly cat that likes to be touched at some point, just to bite us or hit us lightly afterward. In this case, it may be easy to blame the cat, but what most likely happens is that we don't know how to master the cat the right way. To understand why, we first need to know more about the cat breed. The ancestors of the domestic cat (such as the African wildcat) were probably considered merely a means of pest control, but contemporary cats are often treated as one of our valuable owners or as "fur-coated children". This social shift in the relationship between humans and cats is believed to have occurred about 4,000 years ago — a little more delayed than the "man's best friend" — the domestic dog. Although this may seem like enough time for species to fully adapt to growing social demands, this is unlikely to be the case with your son-in-one. Domestic cats also show a relatively modest genetic deviation from their ancestors, which me...

Why are men attracted to older women

صورة
The age difference in the relationship. More men date and marry older women than we think. We all remember famous Hollywood duos like Demi Moore and her husband Ashton Kutcher, who is 16 years younger, but this age difference may be greater in many relationships. Have you ever felt embarrassed when you asked your friend about his girlfriend's age to tell you she was older than him? If you think that men who are associated with women older than them are few, you may need to reconsider this vision. The 10-year age difference between them was not an obstacle to the association of singer Shakira and Barcelona's Catalan player Gerard Pique, the youngest of them, a love story that has inspired and continues to inspire many, but the difference far exceeds this figure significantly in many other relationships. French President Emmanuel Macron is married to a woman who is 24 years old, and while Macron was a high school student, Brigitte, his current wife, was a teacher at the same sch...

Endangered species

صورة
"Endangered species" is a classification of species facing a high probability of extinction in the near future. According to the rankings on the World Conservation Union's Red List and Resources, the ranking of "endangered species" ranks second in terms of the worst "conservation status" and follows the ranking of critically endangered species. In 2012, the World Conservation Union and its resources classified 2,655 species of plants and 3,079 species of animals around the world as endangered species, while in 1998, the species in this group had 1,102 species of animals and 1,197 species of plants. Many countries have introduced laws to protect species in need of conservation, banning fishing, restricting land investment and establishing nature reserves. Save status for the type: Species conservation status is an indicator that calculates the likelihood of a particular species being endangered. Several factors are taken into account when calculating th...

Everything you need to know about breast cancer

Introduction: In one of the ancient Egyptian papyrus leaves dating back to around 3000 B.C., a Pharaonic doctor talks about 8 cases of breast cancer he tried to eradicate, and then concludes that this disease is untreatable! Today, after 5,000 years of bitter struggle, people still consider breast and other cancers to be a death sentence, and they are often right. Breast cancer begins, as with other malignant tumors at the microscopic cellular level, when the living cell is exposed to environmental or genetic mutations sufficiently and long enough, these cancers trigger changes in the cell nucleus at the genetic material level ( DNA and RNA, thus transforming the natural cell into an abnormal malignant cell, and begin to grow and reproduce in an out-of-control way that is contrary to the previously established cellular life cycle and death. Cancer can begin in any part or component of the breast, but the majority of malignant tumors in the breast begin in ducts, small ducts that transp...

Announcing suicide via social media between real suffering and exploiting the feelings of others

صورة
Announcing suicide via social media between real suffering and exploiting the feelings of others. What would you do if you were browsing Facebook with different posts to find someone who had posted their last words before announcing that they would commit suicide? Is he going to kill himself or is this person doing such acts, taking advantage of others to attract attention and fame? How can they blackmail you and manipulate you? Is it true that the actual suicide bomber does so in secret without declaring? What is the purpose of some people to harm themselves, threatened with suicide and publishing bloody images of them in their final moments? How does such content threaten the lives of other readers? Let us know in the following lines what the researchers told us about the answers to this phenomenon. The dilemma is not new. People have always been confused about how serious the character threatens to commit suicide, is it a real attempt to commit suicide or not? As some people have s...

How do the planes fly

How do the planes fly The aircraft is a mechanical vehicle subject to mechanical and aerodynamic laws. Air plays an important role in the flight process. So, what's the air? Air: A physical material that has a mass, and its molecules move continuously, and this movement is responsible for atmospheric pressure. Air consists of a mixture of different gases: nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and other gases. And everything that flies needs air like birds, airships, airplanes... Today, jets use the same aerodynamicprinciples that the Wright brothers used in 1903 to fly their aircraft into the air. But how exactly do the planes fly? When the aircraft is in the air, it is subject to the influence of four forces: Gravity Drag Force Thrust momentum Lift power Aviation requires two forces: pushing and lifting. Thrust Momentum is the force that moves the plane in the air. Propulsion is used to overcome the force of clouds for aircraft (or to overcome the gravitational force of mis...
