Both the incubation period and the communicable period are terms used in epidemiology to describe stages at which an infectious illness can be spread from person to person. The transmission of illnesses is greatly impacted by these intervals, which vary from person to person. Professionals in the fields of health and governance take note of these times to ensure the public's wellbeing. Accurate information of these times is necessary for determining how long a person who has been exposed needs to remain in quarantine. What is Incubation Period? The Latin word "incubatio, " meaning "brooding, " is the source of ... Read More

Corticosteroids, commonly known as glucocorticoids or steroids, are used to treat a wide variety of conditions, including arthritis, skin and blood diseases, severe allergies, and more. Corticosteroids, such as dexamethasone and methylprednisolone, are given to Covid-19 patients to boost lung function. Patients with coronavirus who were given 2mg/day of intravenous methylprednisolone had better medical outcomes on days 5 and 10 compared to those who were given 6mg/day of dexamethasone. What is Dexamethasone? Corticosteroid dexamethasone is used to treat immune system disorders and hormone deficiencies. Inflammation, allergic responses, rheumatoid arthritis, skin illnesses, intestinal disease flare-ups, multiple sclerosis, chemotherapy preparation, and adrenal ... Read More

Both chronic post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and chronic post-traumatic stress disorder (COPS) are mental health illnesses associated with discomfort, anxiety, traumatic event, and emotional and cognitive abnormalities.

As opposed to bacterial pneumonia, Covid pneumonia is far more dangerous. What is Covid Pneumonia? In covid pneumonia, viruses affect both lobes of the lungs, causing an inflammatory reaction with a more ... Read More

When treating SARIs (severe acute respiratory infections) caused by viruses, it is common practice to provide either convalescent plasma (plasma obtained from the blood of a patient who has recovered from a sickness) or serum, or hyperimmune immunoglobulin (H-Ig). Since there aren't many fast-acting treatments for treating coronavirus, convalescent plasma therapy is the best bet. Due to the intricate nature of its production, hyperimmune globulin (H-Ig) is less readily available and requires more time to generate. H-Ig, on the other hand, provides uniformly virus-specific antibodies across all units, reducing the likelihood that patients would contract any virus (not only COVID-19) ... Read More
