Effective On Covid Patients

लंदन: कोविड-19 से संक्रमित मरीजों में हृदय रोग और मधुमेह विकसित होने का खतरा अधिक होता है, खासकर संक्रमण के बाद के तीन महीनों में। एक नए शोध में यह पता चला है। वैज्ञानिक तेजी से कोविड-19 को एक बहु-प्रणाली की स्थिति के रूप में पहचान रहे हैं जो पूरे शरीर में बीमारी का कारण बन सकती है, संभवत: उन मार्गो को ट्रिगर करके जो सूजन का कारण बनते हैं। लंदन के किंग्स कॉलेज के शोधकर्ताओं ने 428,000 से अधिक कोविड रोगियों और इतने ही अज्ञात मेडिकल रिकॉर्ड का विश्लेषण किया और इस निष्कर्ष पर पहुंचे कि कोविड रोगियों में मधुमेह और हृदय रोग उन लोगों की तुलना में ज्यादा होते हैं, जिन्हें कभी संक्रमण नहीं हुआ था। ओपन एक्सेस जर्नल पीएलओएस मेडिसिन में प्रकाशित विश्लेषण से पता चला है कि वायरस से संक्रमित होने के बाद पहले चार हफ्तों में 81 प्रतिशत कोविड रोगियों को मधुमेह होने का पता चला। संक्रमण के बाद 12 सप्ताह तक उनका जोखिम 27 प्रतिशत तक बढ़ गया था। कोविड समग्र रूप से हृदय निदान में छह गुना वृद्धि के साथ जुड़ा था, मुख्य रूप से फुफ्फुसीय अंत: शल्यता (फेफड़ों में रक्त के थक्के) और अनियमित दिल की धड़कन के विकास के कारण। एक नए हृदय रोग निदान का जोखिम संक्रमण के पांच सप्ताह बाद कम होना शुरू हो गया और बेसलाइन स्तर पर वापस आ गया या एक वर्ष से लेकर 12 सप्ताह के भीतर कम हो गया। हालांकि, शोधकर्ताओं ने यह भी नोट किया कि कोविड संक्रमण हृदय संबंधी विकारों और मधुमेह के बढ़ते जोखिम से जुड़ा है। इन निष्कर्षो के आधार पर टीम ने अनुशंसा की कि डॉक्टर अपने रोगियों को स्वस्थ आहार और व्यायाम के माध्यम से मधुमेह के जोखिम को कम करने की सलाह दें। टीम ने कहा, "हृदय की स्थिति और मधुमेह के विकास पर कोविड-19 के दीर्घकालिक प्रभावों पर इस बहुत बड़े जनसंख्या आधारित अध्ययन से मिली जानकारी उन लाखों लोगों का प्रबंधन करने वाले डॉक्टरों के लिए अत्यंत मूल्यवान होगी, जिन्हें कोविड-19 हो चुका है। इससे स्पष्ट है कि कोविड-19 से संक्रमित होने के बाद कम से कम पहले 3 महीनों में विशेष सतर्कता की जरूरत रहती है। (एजेंसी) यह भी पढ़े► हीमोफिलिया के मरीजों की जीन थेरेपी से रक्तस्राव में आएगी कमी

London: A team of researchers, led by those of Indian-origin, has in a breakthrough developed a single gene therapy injection that could dramatically reduce the bleeding risk faced by people with haemophilia B. Haemophilia B is a rare and inherited genetic bleeding disorder caused by low levels of the factor IX (FIX) protein, needed for forming blood clots that help prevent or stop bleeding. The gene responsible for making FIX protein is located on the X chromosome, so the severe form of haemophilia B is much more common in men. Currently, patients with haemophilia B need to inject themselves regularly usually weekly with recombinant FIX, that is, regular replacement therapy to prevent excessive bleeding. Despite advances in treatment, patients may continue to see debilitating joint damage. But the new type of adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy candidate called FLT180a, developed by researchers from University College London treats severe and moderately severe cases of the condition. The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed that one-time treatment with FLT180a led to sustained production of FIX protein from the liver in nine of 10 patients across four different dose levels, removing the need for regular replacement therapy. "Removing the need for haemophilia patients to regularly inject themselves with the missing protein is an important step in improving their quality of life," said lead author Professor Pratima Chowdary, Royal Free Hospital at UCL Cancer Institute. AAV gene therapy works by using a packaging from the proteins found in the outer coat of the virus, to deliver a functional copy of a gene directly to patient tissues to compensate for one that is not working properly. Newly synthesised proteins are released into the blood and a one-time infusion can achieve long-lasting effects. Patients needed to take immunosuppressive drugs over several weeks to several months to prevent their immune systems from rejecting the therapy. While the treatment was generally well tolerated, all patients experienced some form of adverse events, with an abnormal blood clot in one who received the highest FLT180a dose and had the highest levels of FIX protein. In nine out of the 10 patients, the treatment led to a sustained increase in FIX protein production, which led to a decrease in excessive bleeding. They also no longer required weekly injections of FIX protein. After 26 weeks, five patients had normal levels of FIX protein, three had low but increased levels, and one patient treated at the highest dose had an abnormally high level.

People who regularly fast are less likely to experience severe complications from Covid-19, suggests a study. Intermittent fasting has previously shown to have a host of health benefits, including lowering the risk of diabetes and heart disease. The findings, published week in BMJ Nutrition, Prevention & Health, showed that Covid patients who practised regular water-only intermittent fasting had lower risk of hospitalisation or dying due to the virus than patients who did not. "Intermittent fasting has already shown to lower inflammation and improve cardiovascular health. In this study, we're finding additional benefits when it comes to battling an infection of Covid-19 in patients who have been fasting for decades," said Benjamin Horne, director of cardiovascular and genetic epidemiology at Intermountain Healthcare in the US. In the study, researchers identified 205 patients who had tested positive for the virus between March 2020 and February 2021 -- before vaccines were widely available. Of these, 73 said they regularly fasted at least once a month. Researchers found that those who practised regular fasting had a lower rate of hospitalisation or death due to coronavirus. "Intermittent fasting was not associated with whether or not someone tested positive Covid-19, but it was associated with lower severity once patients had tested positive for it," Horne said. While Horne said that more research is needed to understand why intermittent fasting is associated with better Covid outcomes, he said it's most likely due to a host of ways that it affects the body. For example, fasting reduces inflammation, especially since hyperinflammation is associated with poor Covid-19 outcomes. In addition, after 12 to 14 hours of fasting, the body switches from using glucose in the blood to ketones, including linoleic acid. "There's a pocket on the surface of SARS-CoV-2 that linoleic acid fits into -- and can make the virus less able to attach to other cells," he said. Another potential benefit is that intermittent fasting promotes autophagy, which is "the body's recycling system that helps your body destroy and recycle damaged and infected cells", Horne added. Horne stressed that these results are from people who have been practising intermittent fasting for decades -- not weeks -- and that anyone who wants to consider the practice should consult their doctors first, especially if they are elderly, pregnant, or have conditions like diabetes, heart, or kidney disease. Researchers also stressed intermittent fasting shouldn't be seen as a substitute for Covid vaccination. (Agency) Read More► Reducing Air Pollution May Improve Brain Development in Children
