According to prior studies, people with diabetes and obesity are not more likely to contract COVID-19, but they are more likely to develop severe illness and eventually pass away from it. Uncertainty persists regarding the underlying mechanisms and their contribution to the extended post-COVID-19 symptoms (long COVID). A study found that a higher incidence of COVID-19 infection and protracted COVID was linked to a high body mass index (BMI) rather than high blood sugar levels. At this year’s European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) Annual Meeting in Stockholm, Sweden, Dr. Anika Knuppel and colleagues from the MRC Unit…

Read about Dr. Anahita Pandole's pelvic reconstructive surgery following the Cyrus Mistry accident. - Asiana Times

Dr Pandole’s femur bone suffered a crushed injury and the head of the femur was stuck in the pelvic bone. On September 4, 2022, a tragic vehicle accident claimed the lives of two passengers, including Cyrus Mistry, chairman of Tata Sons. Dr. Anahita Pandole, who was driving the Mercedes, and her husband Darius Pandole were two other passengers who suffered serious injuries in the collision. According to reports, Dr. Pandole had pelvic reconstruction surgery on Thursday at Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital with the assistance of nearly 20 medical professionals. For the procedure, experts from the USA, UK, and Europe…

Genes are Passed down from one Generation to the Next

Recent research on the development of gut bacteria in humans and other species may lead to more individualised and targeted treatments. The early humans brought their gut microorganisms with them when they left Africa. It turns out that these bacteria evolved at the same time as them. There are hundreds to thousands of different kinds of bacteria and archaea in the human gut microbiome. Different strains of a specific species of microbe have various Genes that may have an impact on your health and the diseases to which you are predisposed. People who reside in various nations around the world…

An asteroid larger than the Statue of Unity will strike Earth this week. - Asiana Times

Nearly 210 metres in size, the asteroid is larger than the Statue of Unity, which is 192 metres tall. Is the Statue of Unity in Danger? Asteroids are rocks left over from the solar system’s creation.On September 18, the asteroid will be rather close to Earth. The distance between the object and the planet will be only 47,42,252 kilometres. This week, an asteroid larger than the Statue of Unity is heading toward Earth as NASA conducts testing of its asteroid deflection equipment in deep space. The Near Earth Object is larger than the Statue of Unity in Gujarat, the tallest…

According to WHO's disturbing report on patients and symptoms, women are twice as likely to experience long COVID

According to the model, women are twice as likely as males to have lengthy COVID-19, and the risk rises sharply for serious infections requiring hospitalisation, according to the paper. According to the findings, long COVID-19 is predicted to emerge in one in three women and one in five men. 1) “Millions might have to put up with it for a long time.” The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Tuesday that at least 17 million persons in the WHO European Region had lengthy COVID in the first two years of the pandemic. The global health organisation has urged nations to…

SARS-CoV-2 protein-targeting chemical discovered by BHU researchers - Asiana Times

As compared to single target approaches, concurrent inhibition of multiple SARS-CoV-2 targets along with inflammation and immunomodulation linked to tissue specific human targets may be more effective and have a significantly higher therapeutic potential in saving a COVID-19 patient, according to Dr. Mishra. Coronaviruses are a diverse group of viruses infecting many different animals, and they can cause mild to severe respiratory infections in humans. Emerging coronaviruses have become a new public health concern in the twenty-first century as a result of the emergence in humans in 2002 and 2012 of two highly pathogenic coronaviruses with zoonotic origins, the Middle…

Indian researchers reveal the secret process underlying cell transition

Indian Institute of Science researchers have examined the basic process that powers cell changes from the inside out. HIGHLIGHTS Various processes are governed by modifications in the geometry and topology of self-assembled membranes for cell transition. A resolution of rod-shaped viruses had created the colloidal membranes. The relative mobility (fluidity) of the individual lipid molecules and how this mobility varies with temperature are two characteristics of a lipid bilayer. The phase behaviour of the bilayer is the name given to this reaction. In general, a lipid bilayer can exist in either a liquid or a solid phase at a specific…

Moon water may originate from Earth

NASA is a space agency of the US federal government, in the same way China has China National Space Administration (CNSA) for space exploration. Liu Jizhong, an official with the China Lunar Exploration and Space Program Center, said that China’s national space administration has received approval to send three orbiters to the moon as a part of the Chang’e Lunar Program. China said it discovered a new lunar mineral, via samples retrieved by its Chang’e-5 mission, after which the announcement was made that China plans more moon missions after this new discovery. The new lunar mineral found is named Changesite-…
