‘Doctor Thira’ pointed out that the total amount of Thai covids is still strong, even though the Ministry of Health has adjusted the reporting system. Lifting the results of a Yale University study reinforces how long COVID affects the balance of the body and the immune system
11 Aug. 2022 – Dr. Teera Worathanarat, Lecturer of Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University Post on Facebook regarding the situation of COVID-19 on August 11, 2022 that yesterday, 701,641 people worldwide were infected with 1,670 more deaths, a total of 591,852,043 people infected with 6,443,974 deaths, the top 5 infected people. are Japan, South Korea, the United States, Italy and Australia.
Yesterday, the number of new infections had countries from Europe and Asia occupy seven of the top 10 and 15 of the world’s top 20. The number of new infections every day in the world now. from Asia and Europe Together they accounted for 82.45 percent of the world’s population, while the number of deaths accounted for 64.07%.
…The epidemic situation in Thailand From the Worldometer data this morning found that the number of deaths yesterday It is the 11th highest in the world and 4th in Asia, although the Thai Ministry of Health has adjusted the reporting system since May 1 until the number of reports is greatly reduced.
…Update important knowledge regarding Long COVID
A research team from the Yale School of Medicine led by Prof.Iwasaki published the results of a pivotal study on Long COVID in medRxiv yesterday August 10, 2022, if we remember. Past knowledge suggests that there are patients who are infected with COVID-19. many around the world who suffer from long-standing chronic abnormalities Long COVID occurs in a variety of systems in the body. It affects both physical, mental/emotional performance, and many studies have pointed to a hypothesis that explains the cause of Long COVID, that it may be caused by cells of various organs. that is destroyed by infection (tissue damage from infection), imbalance of pathogens in the body leading to abnormal functioning of various systems (Dysbiosis), causing self-immunity (Autoantibodies), and persistent infection
Latest research by Yale University team, USA A detailed study was conducted to compare healthy people (HC), people with a previous history of COVID-19 infection (CC), and people with long-term COVID-19 (LC). The key findings were one characteristic. of antibody immunity and cellular immunity that occur It indicates that people with long-term COVID-19 have abnormal immune traits. It tends to be caused by the chronic stimulation of infection or fragments of the infection. These findings point to a persistent infection, or the presence of persistent fragments of bacteria or genetic material in the body.
Two of the Long COVID patients had autoantibodies. not different from other groups These findings suggest that the hypothesis of Autoantibodies may weigh less
Third, the Long COVID patient group had immune levels suggesting that the activation process had occurred. Reactivation of herpesvirus groups such as Epstein-Barr virus and Varicella Zoster virus.
And finally, very importantly, four of the Long COVID patients had lower levels of the hormone Cortisol in their blood than the other groups. significantly With this low cortisol level, the researchers believe it can be useful in the diagnosis of long COVID because of its high predictive power. Other diseases need to be taken into account. that the patient may have existed And affect the condition of the hormone deficiency as well.
There are currently research studies around the world that are doing their best. So that we can understand the nature of Long COVID, determine the cause or mechanism that explains the occurrence of this disorder. and lead to a diagnosis and plan for specific care There must be a regular follow-up update.
…with knowledge until now makes us realize that COVID-19 infection That doesn’t end with just chilling and recovering, but getting sick and dying. and the important thing is Risk of Long-Term Disorders Long COVID is real and has been proven to cause malfunctions in many body systems. Prevention of infection is best.
The epidemic situation in Thailand still has many infections spreading every day. The daily reported numbers are lower than the actual infection situation because they only report the number of patients who need to be hospitalized. Wearing a mask correctly and consistently is essential…
