Beijing hospital confirms nervous system infections by novel coronavirus

Source: Xinhua| 2020-03-05 17:28:01|Editor: huaxia
BEIJING, March 5 (Xinhua) -- Chinese doctors have proved for the first time that the novel coronavirus can cause damage to patients' central nervous system.

Doctors from Beijing Ditan Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, a designated institution treating the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), announced Thursday that they have cured a male patient whose cerebrospinal fluid had the virus.

Previous studies show that COVID-19 may attack multiple organs, including kidneys, livers and heart, but there are no records about the central nervous system damage.

The patient, 56, was diagnosed with the COV...http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/202..._138846529.htm

China study suggests 14-day COVID-19 quarantine too short for women

03/06/2020 10:35 PM
Taipei, March 6 (CNA) A Chinese study on the globally-spread epidemic caused by the new coronavirus (COVID-19) that first appeared in late 2019 in China's Wuhan, suggests there should be different control approaches between men and women, including a longer quarantine isolation period for women.
In the paper, titled "Women May Play a More Important Role in the Transmission of the Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) than Men," the research team from the Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University reports that women exhibit different characteristics from men in the transmission after analyzing the sex ratio of those infected with the highly contagious virus in the reported literature.

With retrospective analysis of 6,013 confirmed cases in the hospital up to Feb. 20, the research team received findings, including that women account for a lower proportion of early admissions of the outbreak but the ratio increased in the later stages.

Their data "may indicate that women not only suffer less damage, but may also have a longer incubation period than men," according to the not yet peer-reviewed paper, which was posted on the "Preprints with The Lancet" on March 3.

It says that women naturally have stronger antiviral immunity than men.

"When your immunity is strong enough to hold off the virus for longer, but not to kill it completely, you will gain a longer incubation period," according to the paper.

While there is clear evidence that COVID-19 patients remain highly contagious during the incubation period, the long latency in women "will undoubtedly have an important impact on the spread of the epidemic," the research paper says.....https://focustaiwan.tw/sci-tech/202003060021

Will "asymptomatic positive" infect others? Experts remind: stay vigilant in daily life details

(March 9, 2020)


　　The new crown epidemic blocking battle continues, and a new term "asymptomatic positive" has caused heated debate.

　　What is "positive asymptomatic"? Is "asymptomatic" transmission? How does the public "hide" them in daily life? The reporter invited Chen Dechang, the chairman of the National Critical Care Medicine Committee and director of the Department of Critical Care Medicine, Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine to interpret this.

　　Infectious

　　Chen Dechang, who is currently treating patients in the critically ill area of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, remembers that as soon as he arrived in Wuhan, the person in charge of the hospital stated that a small number of medical workers in the hospital were positive in the throat swab test, but there were no symptoms of new coronary lung inflammation . To ensure safety, the hospital still manages them in isolation.

　　"In popular terms, asymptomatic positive is asymptomatic infection." Chen Dechang said that, like many other diseases, there have also been a certain number of asymptomatic people carrying the new crown virus since the outbreak. "Generally speaking, this group of people has a strong immune function, and even if the body carries the virus, it will not cause large numbers of reproduction and cause tissue and organ disease." Asymptomatic people have the ability to transmit the virus. When the virus load in the body reaches a higher abundance, it will have a stronger virus transmission capacity, but if the virus load abundance in the asymptomatic infection body is lower, the ability to transmit the virus will also be relatively weak.

　　In addition, different virus subtypes have significant differences in their ability to spread. Chen Dechang introduced that the National Science Review, sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, recently published a paper jointly completed by researchers at the Bioinformatics Center of the Peking University School of Life Sciences and Shanghai Pasteur Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Recently, 149 mutation points were generated, and two subtypes have evolved, namely, the L subtype and the S subtype, which show great differences.

　　"The S subtype is a relatively older version, which is more similar to the bat-derived coronavirus in the phylogenetic tree, and is not as strong in transmission; the L subtype is more invasive and more contagious. Large-scale transmission is more closely related to it. "He introduced that after studying 149 mutation points, scholars found that the L subtype is more common, accounting for 70%; the S subtype accounts for 30%. . But whether asymptomatic infections are mostly S subtypes requires further understanding.

　　Ensure that living space is not polluted

　　How to determine the clinical diagnosis of patients with new coronary pneumonia and asymptomatic infection? Chen Dechang said that in addition to the positive nucleic acid tests, the former will have one or more obvious symptoms such as fever, dry cough, runny nose, sore throat, fatigue, and diarrhea, while the latter have few related symptoms. "But the final decision was CT imaging to see if there was an infection in the lungs, if it was a patient, if not, it was a carrier."

We will put the clothes we wear out of the house in a storage box at the door of the dormitory to ensure life Space is not contaminated by infectious sources. "He said ordinary citizens can learn from this experience at home.
