Forbes publishes the results of the final trial of the internationally approved 'Corona' treatment

People - Baghdad  

Remdesivir has proven its ability to speed up the recovery period only from the Corona virus, and not to achieve a treatment that can reduce the number of deaths, according to the results of his final experiment.  

A study by the company "Gilead Sciences", the manufacturer of the drug, showed that "Covid-19" patients who took the drug recovered from the disease faster than others, after trying it on more than 1,000 patients from all over the world, according to what was published by the American "Forbes" magazine.  

The experiments concluded that hospital patients who took "remdesivir" recovered from the disease in 10 days, that is, five days faster than those who took placebo medications, indicating that "the greatest benefit was in patients who were given the drug early with some additional oxygen." Remotely".  

The data indicated that the remdesivir may prevent patients from developing severe symptoms and the need for more oxygen or ventilation, but did not find a decrease in the number of deaths for patients who took the drug.  

For his part, CEO of the company, Daniel Ouday, considered that "for patients who are transferred to the hospital, recovery can be speeded up to 5 or 7 days."  

The company is expected to use this result to apply for formal approval from the US Food and Drug Administration for the drug, which has not yet been approved.  

It is noteworthy that the clinical experience of this drug relied on the administration of a placebo, as some patients take a drug that resembles remdesivir but does not carry any active substance inside, in order to find out whether the patients recover with the help of the drug or if the psychological factor has a role in that.  

This anti-viral drug was developed to treat Ebola in the beginning, and it was issued in some African countries in 2015, but it failed to be a complete treatment and a complete cure.

China signs deal related to 'Corona' virus vaccines

2020.10.09 - 10:03

 

Baghdad - People  

China has signed an agreement guaranteeing the distribution of any future vaccines against "Covid-19" issued in developing countries, to be the largest economic power to join the efforts of the World Health Organization to contain the epidemic.  

The Kovacs initiative aims to deliver vaccines to poorer countries as soon as they are developed, in order to meet concerns about the possibility of richer countries restricting the distribution of real estate manufactured by their pharmaceutical companies.  

The agreement gives China, where the virus first appeared last year, a key role in international efforts to share vaccines with less developed countries, while the United States has not signed the agreement.  

Speaking about the agreement reached on the eighth of October, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Shuning said that China joined the "Kovacs" initiative "to fulfill its commitment to convert Covid-19 vaccines to the global public interest," according to Sky News. People (October 9, 2020).  

It did not provide details about how much China would contribute under the agreement, which aims to raise two billion dollars and aims to provide any future vaccines for 92 low or middle-income countries.  

Hua said that the Chinese vaccines "will be presented to developing countries as a priority," adding that Beijing hopes that "the most capable countries (to participate in the initiative) will join Kovacs."  

Hundreds of thousands of Chinese soldiers, emergency workers and workers have been vaccinated outside the country, while the vaccines that were considered the most promising have yet to complete the clinical trial phase.  

Beijing is facing a storm of criticism from abroad over its handling of the outbreak of the epidemic, and it has worked hard to polish its image about its role in COVID-19, which appeared for the first time in the central city of Wuhan.  

It boasted widely of the successes it has achieved in controlling the epidemic on its soil.  

Tens of millions returned to work, Friday, after a long holiday that was considered a test of the extent of consumer confidence, in great contradiction to the situation in many Western countries, which returned to impose closures and restrictions on travel.

The discovery of "structural changes" in the protrusions of Corona that make it more infectious

2020-10-09 | 03:51

 

 

Scientists in Chile are working to study a possible mutation of the emerging corona virus in southern Patagonia, a remote region near the southernmost tip of the South American continent that has seen an unusually second wave of infections in the past few weeks.

Dr. said Marcelo NavarettiFrom Magallan University, told Reuters in an interview that researchers have discovered "structural changes" in the protrusions of the virus that mark its coronary shape. He said research is underway to better understand the potential mutation and its effects in humans.

 

 

 

 

 

"The only thing we know so far is that this coincides in time and space with a second very severe wave in the region," he added.

The Magallan region of Chile is largely a remote wilderness area full of glaciers interspersed with small towns and a region.Punta ArenasWhich saw the rise in Covid-19 cases in September and October after the first wave this year.

Hospitals are close to full occupancy in the hard-hit area. Officials saidMinistry of Health In Chile, they have begun to transfer patients from the region to the capital, Santiago.

Other studies outside Chile have also indicated that Corona VirusIt can evolve as it adapts to its human hosts.

A preliminary study that analyzed the structure of the virus after two waves of infection in a city concludedHoustonAmerican that a highly contagious strain dominated modern specimens.

Scientists say that the mutations may make the virus more capable of infection, but they do not necessarily make it more deadly, nor do they necessarily prevent the effectiveness of any possible vaccine.

International Monetary: Africa needs $ 1.2 trillion to confront COVID-19

More than half a million victims of Covid-19 in Africa

The Director-General of the International Monetary Fund, Kristalina Georgieva, said Friday that African countries need financing of 1.2 trillion dollars until 2023 to overcome the crisis caused by the Covid-19 epidemic, stressing that the funding shortfall currently stands at 345 billion dollars.

In a hypothetical meeting devoted to "Mobilization for Africa", Georgieva said that the region is currently facing a financing gap because the obligations of official lenders bilaterally and international institutions cover less than a quarter of the expected needs while private capital is still limited.

This international financial institution had estimated the funding shortfall at $ 44 billion for the year 2020 alone.

And Georgieva added that all countries and institutions must mobilize more to help Africa deal with the crisis.

She added that the epidemic cannot be stopped if it is not controlled in regions such as Africa.

The International Monetary Fund stated that more than one million injuries and 23 thousand deaths were recorded on the continent.

The emergence of the first images in the world that show the Coronavirus invading the human body

by EditorArab and world news , health56 Minutes ago

The New York Times published high-resolution microscopic images of the Corona virus, which are believed to be the first of its kind in the world.

The clips that the New York Times referred to in its report, accompanied by another picture of specialized institutes, surprised activists on social media,
stressing that the pictures show how the virus invades body cells, and how its twisted genes control the vital functions of the human cell.

According to researchers, the images help to decipher the codes of this virus, which has so far caused the death of more than a million people around the world, and infected at least thirty million others.
