Andrea Raymond is an investigate freelance journalist who studies emerging viruses and viruses that jumped from animals to humans, such as SARS-CoV-2 and is keen on tracking the transmission and evolution of SARS-CoV-2, evaluating changes in how well the omicron subvariants evade the immune system and the severity of disease they cause after infection.
Download or read book Delta Omicron Variants written by Dr Sarah Alexis and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-12-09 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DELTA & OMICRON VARIANTS...knowledge and precautions for you and your family. By Dr. Sarah Alexis At the present time, researchers imagine that omicron is probably going to be basically pretty much as infectious as delta and that the degree of infectiousness will strain medical services frameworks whenever left unchecked. But on the other hand, they're sure immunizations will keep on being defensive against serious sickness, and similar general wellbeing estimates we've been utilizing to check COVID-19 the most recent two years will likewise be powerful against omicron. As indicated by Dec. 6 information from the CDC, 75.6% of Americans ages 5 and more seasoned have gotten something like one COVID-19 shot. Delta keeps on being predominant with more than close to 100% of COVID-19 cases in the US - - a current normal of around 103,800 cases each day and 1,100 passings each day, Walensky. As researchers work to reveal omicron, this is the way the two variants think about the present moment. Is omicron more terrible than delta (or the other way around)? It's too soon to tell without a doubt, however, early signals of the seriousness of omicron are "empowering," Dr. Anthony Fauci, Biden's main medical consultant, told CNN - - that is, there aren't security flags right now that show omicron prompts more serious COVID-19. As far as how infectious the two variants are: "Unmistakably, in South Africa, omicron has a transmission advantage," Fauci said, taking note of that we should be "cautious" about reaching an excessive number of determinations before there's more information, which may a long time. At the press preparation 30th November,2021, Fauci again focused on that information accessible now from South Africa proposes that omicron has a "serious level of contagiousness," yet that researchers need more opportunity to decide precisely how irresistible it is contrasted with different variations, and regardless of whether it causes less or more extreme disease contrasted with different variations. Information on COVID-19 hospitalizations in South Africa is empowering, yet in addition uncertain in light of the reality many individuals being impacted by omicron are more youthful people, Fauci said. Omicron has some comparative changes in its spike protein to the delta variants, as per the Republic of South Africa's Department of Health, just as the alpha, gamma, and beta variants - - all named variants of worry by the WHO. This implies omicron will likewise be entirely contagious, possibly empowering the virus to all the more effectively get around somebody's antibodies, bringing down the immunization's viability against indicative illness (as in the delta variants case, researchers anticipate that the vaccines should stay defensive against serious COVID-19). Researchers from South Africa likewise accept omicron might prompt more instances of virus in individuals who've as of now had COVID-19. Omicron has a larger number of transformations on its spike protein than the delta variants does, however regardless of whether that implies anything is not yet clear.

Download or read book Structural Virology written by Mavis Agbandje-McKenna and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2010-11-11 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last ten years, much effort has been devoted to improving the biophysical techniques used in the study of viruses. This has resulted in the visualization of these large macromolecular assemblages at atomic level, thus providing the platform for functional interpretation and therapeutic design. Structural Virology covers a wide range of topics and is split into three sections. The first discusses the vast biophysical methodologies used in structural virology, including sample production and purification, confocal microscopy, mass spectrometry, negative-stain and cryo-electron microscopy, X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The second discusses the role of virus capsid protein structures in determining the functional roles required for receptor recognition, cellular entry, capsid assembly, genome packaging and mechanisms of host immune system evasion. The last section discusses therapeutic strategies based on virus protein structures, including the design of antiviral drugs and the development of viral capsids as vehicles for foreign gene delivery. Each topic covered will begin with a review of the current literature followed by a more detailed discussion of experimental procedures, a step in the viral life cycle, or strategies for therapeutic development. With contributions from experts in the field of structural biology and virology this exceptional monograph will appeal to biomedical scientists involved in basic and /or applied research on viruses. It also provides up-to-date reference material for students entering the field of structural virology as well as scientists already familiar with the area.
Download or read book One Virus Two Countries written by Steven Friedman and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2021-11 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has South Africa ‘done well’ at limiting illness and deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic? Academic and political commentator, Steven Friedman, thinks not. While the country’s mainstream media believes it has, in his view the evidence tells another story. South Africa has experienced by far the most cases and deaths in Africa – at one point as many as the rest of the continent combined. One Virus, Two Countries: What Covid-19 tells us about South Africa offers a searing analysis of government and expert scientists’ responses to the pandemic. Friedman argues that South Africa is two societies in one – a ‘First World’ which resembles Western Europe and North America, and a ‘Third World’ which looks much like the rest of Africa or South Asia. The South African state, the media and the scientific community have largely tried to deal with the virus through a ‘First World’ lens in which much of the country was either invisible or a problem – not a partner. Friedman argues this approach prevented the country from responding in a way which would have protected most citizens. This is why case numbers and deaths are so high: South Africa has done worse than the rest of Africa not despite the fact that it has a ‘more developed’ health system, but because it does. One Virus, Two Countries is a controversial book that will rouse much needed debate about South Africa’s health and economic system in a context of serious inequality.
Download or read book Fractal Functions Dimensions and Signal Analysis written by Santo Banerjee and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-14 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the fractal interpolation functions (FIFs) in approximation theory to the readers and the concerned researchers in advanced level. FIFs can be used to precisely reconstruct the naturally occurring functions when compared with the classical interpolants. The book focuses on the construction of fractals in metric space through various iterated function systems. It begins by providing the Mathematical background behind the fractal interpolation functions with its graphical representations and then introduces the fractional integral and fractional derivative on fractal functions in various scenarios. Further, the existence of the fractal interpolation function with the countable iterated function system is demonstrated by taking suitable monotone and bounded sequences. It also covers the dimension of fractal functions and investigates the relationship between the fractal dimension and the fractional order of fractal interpolation functions. Moreover, this book explores the idea of fractal interpolation in the reconstruction scheme of illustrative waveforms and discusses the problems of identification of the characterizing parameters. In the application section, this research compendium addresses the signal processing and its Mathematical methodologies. A wavelet-based denoising method for the recovery of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals contaminated by nonstationary noises is presented, and the author investigates the recognition of healthy, epileptic EEG and cardiac ECG signals using multifractal measures. This book is intended for professionals in the field of Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science, helping them broaden their understanding of fractal functions and dimensions, while also providing the illustrative experimental applications for researchers in biomedicine and neuroscience.
Download or read book Evolution of SARS CoV 2 impact of variants on hosts COVID 19 vaccines and countermeasures written by Seshadri Vasan and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-02-20 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ‘novel coronavirus disease’ (COVID-19) has caused significant global morbidity, mortality and economic damage on a scale similar to the influenza pandemic of 1918. The causative ‘severe acute respiratory syndrome virus 2’ (SARS-CoV-2) is a RNA virus which is evolving rapidly, accumulating mutations, and existing as a cloud of variants with quasispecies diversity. We have tens of thousands of variants, of which currently two are ‘variants of interest’ (Lambda, Mu) and another four ‘variants of concern’ (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Omicron) to the World Health Organization (WHO). Variants of interest often emerge as variants under investigation in one or more countries, as seen with the Omicron (initially denoted as Nu in South Africa). They become variants of concern when there is evidence of increased transmissibility, greater case severity, loss of neutralization by antibodies, and reduced effectiveness of countermeasures. Some SARS-CoV-2 variants can infect new hosts (for instance, the Alpha, Beta and Gamma variants of concern can infect wild type mice which is a species that cannot be vaccinated or controlled easily), and/or reduce the effectiveness of vaccines and therapies (especially Beta and Delta); diagnostic tests have also been reported to be affected. Currently, we do not yet have any ‘variant of high consequence’ with confirmed attributes such as widespread diagnostic test failures, significant reduction in the effectiveness of vaccines and/or therapies, with greater disease severity and deaths. It remains to be seen if Omicron would be the first to be declared by the WHO as a variant of high consequence; more variants of concern are also likely to be declared by the WHO over the next couple of years. Therefore, our ability to control and conquer this pandemic over the long run is dependent on predicting and keeping up with the evolution of this virus, its new hosts, as well as understanding and mitigating its impact on diagnostics, vaccines and therapies.

Download or read book Lifelines written by Dr. Leana Wen and published by Metropolitan Books. This book was released on 2021-07-27 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From medical expert Leana Wen, MD, Lifelines is an insider's account of public health and its crucial role—from opioid addiction to global pandemic—and an inspiring story of her journey from struggling immigrant to being one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People. “Public health saved your life today—you just don’t know it,” is a phrase that Dr. Leana Wen likes to use. You don’t know it because good public health is invisible. It becomes visible only in its absence, when it is underfunded and ignored, a bitter truth laid bare as never before by the devastation of COVID-19. Leana Wen—emergency physician, former Baltimore health commissioner, CNN medical analyst, and Washington Post contributing columnist—has lived on the front lines of public health, leading the fight against the opioid epidemic, outbreaks of infectious disease, maternal and infant mortality, and COVID-19 disinformation. Here, in gripping detail, Wen lays bare the lifesaving work of public health and its innovative approach to social ills, treating gun violence as a contagious disease, for example, and racism as a threat to health. Wen also tells her own uniquely American story: an immigrant from China, she and her family received food stamps and were at times homeless despite her parents working multiple jobs. That child went on to attend college at thirteen, become a Rhodes scholar, and turn to public health as the way to make a difference in the country that had offered her such possibilities. Ultimately, she insists, it is public health that ensures citizens are not robbed of decades of life, and that where children live does not determine whether they live.
