Attention in Italy and Europe to nCov wave The trend of Covid infections in Italy would have monitored a doubling of cases in a week with peaks yesterday of over eighty-three thousand seven hundred infections in one day and international health organizations warn that throughout Europe this summer there will be strong circulation of the virus (recently almost five hundred thousand cases a day considering that at the end of May there were one hundred and fifty thousand). Many people are tired of wearing a mask and taking distancing measures, but the SARS-CoV-2 virus even in the Omicron BA.5 subvariant is more contagious than other variants of the past although perhaps less aggressive; therefore to prevent the epidemic from spreading uncontrollably without barriers and fences it is advisable to protect oneself appropriately. The virus will not go away simply because we ignore it and indeed it could vary again, then individuals with weakened immune systems always remain at risk. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 01, 2022

 Research on mpox and long Covid cases contagion Groups defined as potentially at risk if infected as pregnant women, people with weakened immune systems and children could be more affected by the mpox virus (monkeypox), at least according to statements by international health organizations that warn that infections probably occur more easily in these groups from one person to another. Three thousand four hundred cases of contagion have been monitored in the world since May with one victim, but Europe is the epicenter of the infection and in particular Great Britain even if for the moment a global emergency has not been declared. As for the cases of so-called long Covid it seems that using functional magnetic resonance imaging MRI by inhaling xenon gas to patients it is possible in real time to see what is happening in the lungs and proceed with any targeted treatments. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 30, 2022 n°: 5067 Increased attention in Italy for nCov wave The Italian health authorities warn that the levels of positivity in the SARS-CoV-2 virus infections monitored have returned to winter levels, despite the tendency usually to a lower spread with summer temperatures in previous years, but the Omicron BA.5 subvariant of the virus could play a role since although perhaps less aggressive it has well adapted to live with the population; then the lower use of masks indoors and a decline in general of healthy practices useful to protect against possible infections. It must be remembered that the consequences of a Covid infection can be systemic affecting all organs and in some cases with a fatal outcome, especially for people with weakened immune systems or with long-lasting side effects, so the level of attention should be maintained high. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 21, 2022 n°: 5059 Doses of mpox vaccine purchased in Europe About one hundred and ten thousand doses of monkeypox vaccine (Mpox) should soon be purchased by European health authorities to be administered by the end of June, since Europe would confirm itself as the area of the world most affected by the virus with over nine hundred confirmed cases of contagion (but it is hypothesized that there may be many more and that the infections run under track). There is talk of a real risk that this zoonosis will become endemic in other countries in addition to some Africans; in fact, more the virus circulates more it tends to expand, so care must be taken to monitor any infections. It should be noted by changing the subject but remaining on healthy issues that a study indicates how the Omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is responsible for lower percentages of cases of the so-called long Covid, in practice characterized by prolonged fatigue and a kind of mental "fog". e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 17, 2022 n°: 5055 Possibly real risk for monkeypox After the monitored cases of monkeypox have exceeded a thousand in the world in the confirmations carried out in the laboratories, world health organizations say that the risk of this zoonosis becoming endemic in other countries in addition to some Africans is real; but at the same time there would be no need for mass vaccinations since there are no victims connected to the various outbreaks that have occurred. Symptoms of the disease are high fever, inflammation of the lymph nodes and blisters on the skin that become pustules; then there is concern in particular for vulnerable groups including pregnant women and children. In the few countries where the vaccine is available it is advisable to protect people who may be exposed to the virus with health personnel, however the "classic" smallpox vaccine can be used with high effectiveness. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 11, 2022 n°: 5050 Combination mRNA vaccine against Omicron variant Preliminary studies carried out by a manufacturer of one of the main mRNA vaccines by combining in a booster dose of the original SARS-CoV-2 formulation with a new one target against the Omicron variant of the virus would have shown an increase in antibodies useful for the defense of the immune system, compared to what happens if a booster with a previous formulation is used. Since the Omicron variant has shown in some cases to be able to circumvent the protection given by vaccines according to some it is appropriate to proceed with an update of the original formulation that is still based on the first Covid-19 genetic sequencing; then another well-known company (of the main mRNA vaccine generally administered) is also studying a so-called bivalent vaccine on whose results the relative data are expected by the end of the month. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 09, 2022 n°: 5048 Global food shortage comparable to pandemic If the world's populations do not have the opportunity to obtain sufficient food, they run the risk not only of an increased number of victims due to famine, but also of getting sick more easily due to malnutrition so much so that according to some researchers the threat is comparable to that posed by the Covid-19 pandemic. We should prepare to help people who will become vulnerable due to food shortages or rising costs to ensure a balanced diet (and at the same time in rich countries by giving up meat which is an unhealthy and unsustainable food for the planet). To be reported by changing the subject but remaining on healthy issues the spread of infections in Portugal of the subvariant Omicron BA.5 of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, probably very contagious and able to reinfect individuals already come into contact with the pandemic virus. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 08, 2022 n°: 5047 Health impact of the fire season Prolonged exposure to air polluted by fine particulate matter increases the inflammation levels, at least according to Canadian researchers who warn that in the fire season, which in the country becomes increasingly problematic year after year, one should protect oneself by wearing N-95 masks and using air purifiers in order to avoid unpleasant health consequences. Especially people infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus could suffer from severe forms of Covid and also asthmatics, then people with lung and cardiovascular diseases (a role probably also plays the level of ozone on the ground that increases in heat islands); in fact, the fine particulate exceeds the pulmonary barrier constituted by the alveoli entering directly into the bloodstream causing cascading inflammation and weakening the immune system. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 06, 2022 n°: 5045 Developing tests for the monkeypox Although the market demand for diagnostic kits that can detect people infected with monkeypox could be very low, at least compared to those for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, apparently there would be a kind of rush to develop new "mpox" tests made by companies specialized in this lucrative sector; then must consider that unlike what happened with the Covid-19 pandemic there are already vaccines, medicines and effective tests against smallpox useful to avoid further outbreaks in the world. Five hundred and fifty cases have been confirmed in thirty countries since May, most of them in Europe and often not linked to trips to Africa where monkeypox is endemic, without victims; but international health organizations fear that infections may increase especially during summer festivals and parties. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 04, 2022 n°: 5044 Some viruses are being transmitted globally Due to the frequent movements of people from one country to another in the world, deforestation and therefore the increased possibility of possible contact with wild animals some viruses are being transmitted globally perhaps under trace, as according to some researchers is happening with monkeypox that is not sufficiently monitored and the outbreaks that have occurred derive from the fact that the warnings to raise the level of attention have been practically ignored. There are viruses that could evolve to fill the ecological niches so we should avoid destroying wild habitats so as not to run the risk that animals can migrate increasing infections. It should be noted by changing the subject but remaining on healthy issues that in North Korea a worrying increase in Covid-19 cases is suspected, despite the conflicting statements of the country's authorities. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 02, 2022 n°: 5042 Health and Wellness * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
