Molnupiravir inhibits the replication of certain RNA viruses. It is basically to be used in treating Covid-19 infected people of more than 50 years of age and in those with multiple comorbidities. The recommended dose of Molnupiravir 800 mg is twice a day for five days. A patient needs to take 40 capsules containing 200 mg of medication.
The cases of Omicron variant in our country are increasing at a rapid rate. AIIMS doctor Anjan Trikha said that currently, Omicron is not affecting the lungs in the way the Delta variant was damaging it so far. However, it is showing its effect by staying in the upper part of the organ due to which patients are suffering from-- sore throat, cough and fever.
The cases of Omicron have increased at a rapid rate and now our country is witnessing over 1 lakh cases every day. Yoga guru Swami Ramdev ever since the first wave has been spreading the word about how Ayurveda is the best solution to treat the COVID infection. Yet again, he stated that the third wave of coronavirus can be treated not just with precaution but also through yogasanas, Ayurveda and naturopathy.
"This research is the first to detect SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in stool samples from infants of vaccinated mothers," said lead author Vignesh Narayanaswamy, research student at University of Massachusetts Amherst.
The researchers noted that menstrual cycles typically vary a small amount from month to month, and the increase they saw was well within the range of normal variability. They added that additional research is needed to determine how Covid-19 vaccination could potentially influence other menstrual characteristics, such as associated symptoms (pain, mood changes, etc.) and characteristics of bleeding (including heaviness of flow).
While the positive effects of meditation are well documented, far less is known about its molecular and genetic effects, said Vijayendran Chandran, PhD, an assistant professor of paediatrics and neuroscience in the UF College of Medicine. Meditation activated 97 per cent of interferon-response genes, compared with 76 per cent gene activation in mild COVID-19 patients and 31 per cent in severe COVID-19 cases.
First detected from South Africa and Botswana in late November last year, the Omicron has spread rapidly to more than 100 countries. It has also outpaced the previous Delta strain in many countries to become the dominant variant. The countries include the US, the UK, Italy and Portugal among others.
The scientists used a bioinformatics approach to look at how SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, changed gene expression in the immune systems of COVID-19 patients compared to uninfected individuals. This is a useful way to look into the function of complicated cell signalling pathways that trigger immune responses to fight off harmful bacteria and viruses.
The Omicron variant of Covid-19 has led to a surge in cases across the country. Know what does asymptomatic mean and if asymptomatic carriers can transmit the omicron variant of Covid-19 to others?

In countries with low infections, a longer quarantine time could help keep case numbers as low as possible, experts explain. In places with runaway cases, however, shorter quarantines may be justified in order to keep the countries running, they added.
COVID-19 updates: According to research, the omicron variant has the ability to spread rapidly and even avoids vaccine-induced immunity. Thus, people who contract the virus should isolate themselves immediately for the safety of others.
Hyderabad-based vaccine manufacturer Bharat Biotech, on Wednesday, said that no paracetamol or pain killers are recommended for children after being vaccinated with COVAXIN. The parents of children under the 15-18 age group were concerned about the post-vaccine side effects. In case you are one of those, here is everything you should know.
Government scientists have been checking to make sure the rapid tests still work as each new variant comes along. And this week, the Food and Drug Administration said preliminary research indicates they detect omicron, but may have reduced sensitivity.
There's a prevalent rumour suggesting that children don't need to get vaccinated against COVID 19 as it doesn't harm them severely. However, this isn't true. Let's probe into this and do a fact check to know more. Here's what medical experts have to say about this.
While the study suggests that even after recovery, post-covid complications can trouble people for up to 9 months. Coronavirus has such a profound effect on the lungs that you end up having breathing problems for a year. But if you take precautions, such a situation can easily be avoided. Know from Swami Ramdev, Pranayams to strengthen our lungs.
The four most common symptoms of the omicron variant are cough, fatigue, congestion and runny nose, according to a CDC analysis of the first 43 cases investigated in the US. In some cases, vomiting has also been reported as a symptom among those with the variant, the report said.
"I expect that the Covid-19 pandemic will turn into seasonal epidemics, like flu. I should say that the current situation looks pretty much like the 1960s, when the Hong Kong flu epidemic had very serious effects, when many people were seriously ill.," experts claim.
Not just yoga and pranayam, you can even make your immune system strong by having certain food items. One amongst those is winter fruit ber also known as jujube. Know the importance of the sweet and tarty fruit in increasing immunity amid increasing COVID cases in the country.
