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

Changes in both body and mind occur at regular intervals throughout the day, known as circadian rhythms. The 24-hour circadian rhythm plays a significant role in keeping us awake and attentive throughout the day and preparing us for sleep at night. It affects our metabolism, hormonal balance, and even how hot or cold we feel. Our internal biological clock, or circadian rhythm, may disconnect from our daily routine and external conditions. Understanding your sleep-wake cycle and the factors interrupting your circadian rhythm might help you receive the rest you need. We also discuss methods for establishing and keeping a regular ...

The abnormal electrical impulses in the brain's cortex cause the strange behaviour known as a seizure. Symptoms − Twitching and other uncontrollable action of the limbs and body, mental confusion, a loss ... Read More

As people age, they may experience various changes in their physical, emotional, and cognitive functions. However, not all changes in cognitive abilities are considered part of normal aging. Dementia is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects the cognitive function of an individual, leading to severe memory loss, confusion, and difficulty with communication. In contrast, normal aging may cause mild declines in cognitive abilities, but it does not cause significant impairment in daily activities or lead to dementia. This essay will discuss the difference between normal aging and dementia, including their causes, symptoms, and treatment. What is Normal Aging? Normal ... Read More

There are two types of viruses, each of which replicates in the cytoplasm of its host cell and both of which are composed of single-stranded RNA. Respiratory diseases can be caused by a number of different viruses, but two of the worst are rhinoviruses and coronaviruses. Common cold symptoms are thought to originate from these viruses.
