Virus

Almost three quarters of a group of patients admitted to a hospital with coronavirus were still suffering ongoing symptoms three months later, a study has found.

Researchers found that 81 out of 110 patients discharged from Southmead Hospital in Bristol were still experiencing symptoms such as breathlessness, excessive fatigue and muscle aches when invited back to clinic.

Many were also suffering from poor quality of life compared to the rest of the population - struggling to carry out daily tasks such as washing, dressing or going back to work.

Most of the patients did report improvements in their initial symptoms of fever, cough and loss of sense of smell.

Most patients had no evidence of lung scarring or reductions in lung function.

The findings are part of the preliminary results of the North Bristol NHS Trust's Discover project, which is studying the longer-term effects of coronavirus, so-called Long Covid.

Most (74 per cent) had persistent symptoms - notably breathlessness and excessive fatigue - with reduced health-related quality of life.

Only patients who required oxygen therapy in hospital had abnormal radiology, clinical examination or spirometry at follow-up.

U ponedeljak otvaranje bioskopa i pozorišta uz distancu i nošenje maski

Krizni štab je doneo odluku da u ponedeljak budu otvoreni bioskopi i pozorišta. Zamenica direktorka instituta Batut Darija Kisić Tepavčević rekla je za RTS da će te ustanove biti očišćene do ponedeljka, s obzirom da nisu radile duže vreme.

Kada su u pitanju preventivne mere, to su sve one mere pilikom borvaka u zatvorenim prostorima, navela je Darija Kisić Tepavčević.

Precizirala je da je reč o fizičkoj distanci i nošenju maski. Prodavaće se duplo manje karata nego što je maksimalan kapacitet sala, a maksimalno će u salama moći da bude 500 osoba, iako su neke sale veće.

Dodala je da će u svakoj ustanovi postojati redari, ali da se polazi od činjenice da je svako odgovoran za sopstveno zdravlje.

Kako je rekla, pokazalo se da mere spašavaju živote i da su dovele do stabilizovanja situacija.

Više od 40 škola u Berlinu, manje od dve nedelje od kada su ponovo počele da rade, prijavilo je da su njihovi učenici ili nastavnici zaraženi, potvrdile su danas nemačke vlasti.

U karantinu su stotine učenika i nastavnika osnovnih i srednjih škola, kojih je u Berlinu više od 820.

Ponovni rad škola i opasnost od njihovog pretvaranja u žarišta epidemije i rizik od širenja virusa na porodice i širu zajednicu bili su razlog velike zabrinutosti.

Berlin je jedan od prvih nemačkih gradova u kojima su škole otvorene posle letnjeg raspusta.

Učenici moraju da nose zaštitne maske u hodniku, tokom odmora i prilikom ulaska u učionicu, ali ih mogu skinuti u klupama.

Ta mera je naišla na kritike i tvrdnje da učenici i nastavnici moraju nositi maske sve vreme, što je obaveza u Severnoj Rajni–Vestfaliji.

Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE said the Covid-19 vaccine they are jointly developing is on track to be submitted for regulatory review as early as October, as they released additional data from an early-stage study.

The companies said the vaccine was well tolerated with mild to moderate fever in fewer than 20% of the participants. The companies are continuing to analyze data from the Phase 1 trials in the U.S. and Germany, they said in a statement.

The timeline would make the vaccine one of the fastest-moving in the world. Some analysts expect a vaccine to be approved for use by November in the U.S., a move which may give President Donald Trump a new foothold in the election.

Pfizer and BioNTech last month clinched a $2 billion deal to supply an initial 100 million doses of the vaccine to the U.S. Governments around the world are looking to lock up supplies of still-experimental candidates in hope of stabilizing local economies and stopping spread of the virus that’s taken almost 800,000 lives globally.

Johnson & Johnson (JNJ.N) aims to test its experimental coronavirus vaccine in up to 60,000 volunteers in a late-stage trial scheduled to start in September, according to a U.S. government database of clinical trials.

The trial would be conducted in nearly 180 sites across the United States and other countries, including Brazil and Mexico, according to the information posted on clinicaltrials.gov on Aug. 10.

“We can confirm that planning and recruitment is underway for our Phase 3 program, which is subject to interim data of the Phase 1/2a trials and approval of regulators,” a Johnson & Johnson spokesman said.

“Our Phase 3 program is intended to be as robust as possible, could include up to 60,000 participants and will be conducted in places with high incidence rates,” he added.

The spokesman said J&J is using epidemiological data to decide where studies should take place and will make a final decision soon. The phase 3 trial will likely lock off in late September, with the first vaccines available for use by early 2021, he said.

apsolutno je normalizovan virus. ljudska inercija (olicena u rujevicevom tvitu) + spice that must flow. naravno nije se desio nikakav veliki reckoning nego nam je prosto ubrzano propadanje, vektori koji upravljuju drustvom se ispostavljaju uklesanima u kamen, a zivot je jeftiniji nego sto je bio pre krize. dobili smo sneak preview kako ce se play out-ovati kriza globalnog zagrevanja. ja sam sve do ove krize mislio za marka fishera da je zanimljiv lik ali da je opsednut smrcu i propadanjem ko neka vlaska baba. boy was i wrong
