Bangalore IISC has developed a covid vaccine that can be kept at room temperature.

The Indian Institute of Science (IISC) in Bangalore is developing a covid vaccine that can be kept at room temperature.

Experts believe that the initiative of IISC, a research institute in the country, is quite promising when there is a need to introduce more and more different types of covid vaccines in the market, while some foreign vaccines are awaiting government approval in India.

The researchers told that the main feature of this fancy covid vaccine is that it can be kept active at room temperature. The issue of temperature is still one of the only problems with Covid vaccines on the market. As a result, even if the temperature rises, it will not be difficult to move from one place to another with this vaccine. The refrigeration system does not need to be used to preserve this vaccine. As a result, there will be no risk of spoilage of the vaccine. The average room temperature in India is 21 to 25 degrees Celsius.

Raghavan Bardarajan, a professor at IISC, who is leading the vaccine project, said, "In a very short time. Those antibodies can easily inactivate the SARS-COV-2 virus that has entered rats and guinea pigs. The virus enters the cell and is no longer able to reproduce. As a result, there is no infection. "

These antibodies are called 'neutralizing antibodies' because they can inactivate the virus in cells.

"We've tested in infected human cells in test tubes in the laboratory, and the neutralizing antibodies that this vaccine is producing can even inactivate some new forms of the SARS-COV-2 virus," Bardarajan said.

Among those new strains of the SARS-COV-2 virus is the first mutated Indian mutant in Maharashtra, researchers claim.

Researchers at IISC have found that the amount of antibodies produced by convulsive plasma to prevent infection with the SARS-Curve-2 virus in human body cells is 200 times greater than the amount of antibodies produced by vaccines in rats.

"The main feature of our covid tick is that it can be kept at room temperature. As a result, there is no risk of the vaccine being spoiled at high temperatures. " says Raghavan.

The two indigenous covid vaccines now available in the Indian market, covacin and covishield, both need to be kept at a temperature of 2 to 8 degree Celsius to keep them active. Vaccines made by the American company Pfizer should be kept at a temperature below 60 degrees Celsius. Another American company, Moderna, also needs to be vaccinated at temperatures below 20 degrees Celsius. The Russian-made Sputnik V vaccine must be kept at a temperature of 2 to 6 degrees Celsius so that it does not spoil. This means that the vaccine made by IISC can be kept at about 3 times the temperature required to keep covacin, covishield or Sputnik V equally active.

What will be the efficacy of this vaccine in human body cells?

"To understand that, people need to be tested in at least two stages. We are awaiting approval for that trial. " says Raghavan.

Chinese rover took selfie on Mars! Astronauts are fascinated by the pictures.

A few days ago, NASA's Curiosity rover sent a picture of clouds in the sky of Mars. This time the Chinese rover Jurong took a 'selfie'. Its solar panels were seen as wide as wings in the news. The two cameras are like eyes. Astronauts are fascinated by his picture taken on the red soil of Mars.

China's space research agency CNSA has published the image on their website. Not only that picture, but also more pictures sent by Jurong have been published. There are different regions of Mars taken from a scientific point of view.

Regarrding to the selfie it was said, it was taken after walking about 10 meters on the rough ground of Mars. Another camera was used to take the picture, which was mounted on the underside of the car. After taking the picture, it reaches Jurong with the help of wireless signal. From there it is delivered to Earth by an orbiter orbiting Mars.

The Tianwen-1 spacecraft from Beijing landed on Mars in May. The Rover Jurong is named after the Chinese mythological fire god. Jurong will visit there on at least 90 Mars days. It will collect various samples in the long run. The structure of the surface of Mars will be examined. Will look for ice. If an important issue comes to light, Jurong will also observe it in a special way. China has high hopes for the Mars mission.

Incidentally, the Chinese spacecraft entered the orbit of Mars last February. At the same time, American and Arab spacecraft entered the orbit of the Red Planet. US rover Perseverance landed on Mars last February. Three months later, a Chinese rover landed there.

Black fungus is spreading because of the growth of innocent Synkefelastrum! says new report.

Severe body sugar levels? Increased levels of ferritin in the blood due to inflammation? In this case, do not touch stale food. Do not put bread in the mouth that has exceeded the allotted time. Research papers on mucorrhoea or black fungus have recently been published. The study was conducted by the Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education and Research, Calcutta. According to that report, the innocuous Synekephalastrum fungus of the class Zygomycetes is entering the body in a deadly form. Rapidly increasing mucomycosis infection.

For so long the common people had the idea that black fungus only infects different parts of the skin. According to the published research paper, it is not entirely correct. One of the members of the study, Associate Professor of Microbiology, SSKM. Nupur Pal said, "This fungus cannot be seen with the naked eye. His presence is strong in our surroundings. There is no harm in that. But when the body's immune system is weakened, there is trouble. ” A new study on mucormycosis, Clinical Infection in Practice, has been published in an international journal. Chandigarh Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Head of the Department of Mycology. Arunalok Chakraborty is one of the members of this study. Multiple patients come to PGI Chandigarh with mucormycosis every year. According to Dr. Arunalok Chakraborty, 50 to 60 patients come to this institution every year. This year in May alone that number is 144.

The sudden exacerbation of the black fungus in the COVID-19 situation is what many call coronary accompaniment. But this is not entirely true. There are many patients who have never had coronary heart disease. Excess sugar has reduced the body's disease capacity and they have fallen into the clutches of the fungus. Another member of the study, scientist Anup Ghosh, a fungus specialist at the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research in Chandigarh, said there are two types of Synekephalastrum. One of them is Synkefelastrum resimosum. Although it has been discussed in the past, no research has been done on the Synkefelastrum monosporum. And in 2021, this new type is emerging. It has been seen that they cannot be fought using old medical methods. In the research paper, the researchers have fixed new medical methods. That is why this new study is not for the general public. For physicians. The researchers claim that this study can be used to diagnose myocardial infection.

According to microbiologist Nupur Pal, “If a fungus enters the body of 100 people, there is a risk of death in fifty percent of them. So we have to start treatment immediately.”  Turbinafine, a drug for mycorrhizae, is still being studied. For now, researchers say that amphotericin B injection is the best weapon against black fungus. This injection can bring the patient back from the brink of death. Researchers say that mucous mycosis is an opportunistic infection caused by a sudden loss of immunity.

The map will change! The Southern Ocean is recognized as the fifth ocean in the world.

71 percent of the world's water and the number of oceans is four. Those who are not great experts in geography also know this. But this number needs to be 'updated' a little. The number of oceans on this planet is no longer four. Five from now on. The National Geographic Society has now identified the Southern Ocean as the fifth ocean in the world. The Southern Ocean is also called the Antarctic Ocean or the Australian Ocean.

The news came on June 8, World Oceans Day. The National Geographic Society has been producing maps since 1915. And still the maps have names for the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian Ocean and Arctic Ocean. Now that calculation is changing. However, not overnight, after 130 years of research, this recognition has been given.

The Southern Ocean, along with the National Geographic Society, has been identified by the US Board of Geographic Names as the fifth ocean. It extends from the coast of Antarctica to 60 degrees south latitude.

Alex Tait, a geographer at the National Geographic Society, said: "We have not been able to get it officially recognized as an ocean because there is no international agreement. But the South Ocean has long been recognized by scientists. ”

In fact, this issue has been debated for a long time. The vast body of water around Antarctica needs to be declared an ocean. The boundaries of this ocean were first marked in 2000. But the recognition of the ocean has been elusive for so long without the consent of all countries. Eventually that desired recognition was met.

Corals die because of global warming! scientists use new technology to maintain balance.

The warmth touches the sea. The temperature is rising under water. That warmth is taking away the resources of the sea, the life of the coral reef. Thus, in the last few years, global warming has lost a large part of the biodiversity of the sea floor, including the coral reefs. But if it is not saved, then it is the responsibility to maintain the balance of the world. So experts are going to take the help of new technology to save this natural resource. Whose code name - Ocean-Shot.

How will this technology work? Initially, it was known that rows of corals that were already dead would be used. The ocean-shot will cover an area of ​​about 1 hectare along the Caribbean islands of Antigua and Barbuda. Each module will be made with these dead corals, which will protect the marine aquatic animals and plants from natural disasters. Especially in case of storms and sea level rise. US industrialist John Paul is behind the implementation of this project. Marine scientist Deborah Brosnan will work with his financial support. That being said, this is the right time to implement the ocean-shot project. Because, at the moment, almost half of the world's coral reefs are dead. The other half is struggling.

In fact, frequent natural disasters, such as hurricanes and tornadoes, are a major cause of rising sea levels. That is why coral bleaching, i.e. mixing acid in water, removes the colorful appearance of the coral island and makes it pale. Such is the explanation of scientists. According to oceanographer Brosnan, the lower the chances of this acid mixing in the water, the better the marine life will be.

About 25 percent of the sea's natural balance depends on coral islands. Gradually, animals like fish, lobsters and small tortoises are endangered in their death. They fell to their deaths. Not only that, if the underwater biodiversity is lost in this way, it will have a huge impact on marine tourism. Natural energy will also become increasingly scarce, which is a crisis for the whole world. Therefore, scientists believe that the earth's water must be protected by immediately rejuvenating the coral island. Brosnan said Ocean-Shot will currently work in the Caribbean. In light of its success, the technology will be applied to coral islands in other parts of the world.

Covishield is producing more antibodies than Covaccin! claims new research.

The vaccination process is in full swing across India to prevent corona infection. Multiple vaccines have already appeared in the country's market. Covishield and Covaccin are reaching more and more people. But which is more effective? Which vaccine can make more antibodies? Everyone is curious about it. And to satisfy that curiosity, doctor AK Singh and his colleagues conducted a special study. What do the results of the survey say?

The doctors conducted a survey of more than 500 health workers who had taken two doses of Covishield and Covaccin. It has been found that Covshield is capable of producing more antibodies than Covaccin. In other words, Covishield is more effective than Covaccin in the fight against the deadly corona virus, the study said. However, doctors have advised not to be confused with the vaccine. According to them, after getting vaccinated with Covishield and Covaccin, everyone's body is developing immunity. Both vaccines are effective in preventing coronavirus infections.

How was this survey? The survey was conducted on 553 health workers. Among them 325 are males and 228 are females. Of these, 456 have been given Covshield and 97 have been given Covaccin. It was found that 96.1 per cent of the health workers who took Covishield and 60 per cent of the health workers who took Covaccin produced antibodies. A special blood test showed that Covishield recipients received 115 arbitrary units of antibody titer per milliliter. Covaccin recipients received 51 arbitrary units of antibody titers per milliliter. Needless to say, the survey report has not yet been published. This information has come up as a result of preliminary survey.

It is to be noted that in the beginning, there was a lot of objection from the health workers to the general public about the complete indigenous vaccine Covaccin. But later that objection was removed a lot. However, many are not skeptical about the effectiveness of Covaccin. Although researchers, experts or physicians say, the two vaccines are quite effective in the fight against corona.

A new species of dinosaurs! Scientists are astonished.

Once upon a time, they were trampling on the earth. People are still looking for the traces of their footsteps before the arrival of people. Since the discovery of the first fossils in the nineteenth century, there has been no end to the new discoveries about dinosaurs. This time we found a new species of these giant animals. They will be among the top five dinosaurs in the world. And only in terms of Australia. The current name of this new species is 'Cooper'.

One of the members of the Titanosorus family was the Australopithecus coparensis. 100 million years ago, they roamed the earth. How big was their appearance? According to scientists, these coopers were about 18 to 21 feet long and 72 to 98 feet wide. Robin McKenzie, director of the Eromanga National History Museum, said: "This is one of the five largest species of monkeys discovered so far."

The dinosaur bones were first found 15 years ago in 2006 in the Mackenzie family farm area. Initially, the findings were kept secret, but the following year, in 2006, they were first made public. But after so many years of research on bones and skeletons, scientists have discovered that the skeleton is an animal that represents a new species of dinosaur. Scientists have come to this conclusion only after comparing these dinosaurs with the nearest species by using 3D technology using the latest technology.

Incidentally, skeletons and bones of many more dinosaurs have been found in the area. Scientists think that what has been known from there so far is just the tip of the iceberg. He is optimistic that more discoveries will be made in the region in the coming days.

Feeling of body aches and fever after taking Covid vaccine, how to get relief?

Vaccination is the only tool to fight the deadly virus corona. But there is no less fear about vaccines. Many people are worried about the side effects of the vaccine. There are many misconceptions about these side effects. Although there was a fever after the vaccination, some people thought that Corona was infected. So first of all you need to know what side effects can occur after vaccination.

What are the possible side effects after vaccination?

1.Fever

2.Mild body-arm pain

3.Headache

4.Feeling sick

5.Fatigue

6.Swollen hands when vaccinated etc.

There is nothing to worry about if these side effects occur. Doctors say these are very normal. There is nothing to worry about if such side effects occur. Instead, understand that the vaccine is working in your body. After 48 hours the symptoms go away. However, these 48 hours sometimes become very uncomfortable. So there are some ways to overcome that discomfort.

How to reduce the pain?

The person who has been vaccinated starts having pain in his hand a few hours after the vaccination. Many of those hands are slightly swollen again. This is called covid arm. However, doctors are advising not to take painkillers to reduce that pain. They say, let the pain go away by itself. However, ice can be given to relax. The hand can be moved lightly so that it does not become stiff. If necessary, you can do some simple stretching exercises.

What do I do if I have a fever?

Fever may occur after taking the first or second dose of the vaccine. Doctors say there is no need to take medicine if the body temperature is below 100 degrees Fahrenheit. If the temperature rises above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, paracetamol can be taken as needed. Fever can also be reduced with water bandage. However, if you have a fever for more than 2 days, or if you have a fever with shivering, you must see a doctor.

To reduce nausea :-

There are no restrictions on normal eating and drinking after vaccination. It is best not to eat too many oily or spicy cooked or processed foods for a few days after vaccination. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. If you still feel nauseous, you can eat lemon water, ginger tea or peppermint. It matches the relief. In addition, yogurt whey, fruit juice, coconut water, fruit and vegetable smoothies can be eaten more often. These provide energy to the body, so it also reduces fatigue a bit.

To reduce body pain :-

Some doctors say it is better to rest the day after the vaccination. Resting reduces fatigue as well as body and hand pain is much reduced. You can also take a bath by mixing salt in hot water to reduce body pain. At the end of the day, you can get relief by mixing bath salt in a bowl of water and dipping your feet for a while. However, regular yoga or light exercise can match the benefits.
