Nagpur:- We’ve seen many people come forward with their innovative ideas ever since the introduction of COVID 19 came into effect. Now we see Dr. Parikshit Mahajan coming out of Warora District to treat the patient in Nagpur with 19 cases COVID. He comes from the district of Warora and designed an Indian style coronavirus stretcher. As we know it appears to be a dangerous affair to diagnose and deal with the patients suffering from coronavirus.

Thus prevention is better than cure, which made the doctor come out with the stretcher and take a lot of caution while the patients were being examined. In this view, the virus situation appears to get worse as the doctors came out with the Indian concept Covid-19 stretcher, which was created by Dr. Anantsingh Rajput, along with others including Dr. Amol Kadu and Dr. Parikshit Mahajan.

As recorded, the patients can be held inside this transparent closed equipment that comes with the continuous supply of oxygen. The patient can even interact with each other while he or she receives the medication. It can be quickly moved even to patients who are placed on a ventilator. This stretcher also allows the doctors and nurses to remain safe and secure along with the emergency staff. Stay tuned just to learn more about it with us, and others.

Nagpur:- On Monday confirmed 3 new positive cases of coronavirus, after which at least 112 who came into contact with them were quarantined. The new cases have emerged from the Momeenpura and Satranjipura regions of Nagpur, after which the district administration, with the help of police, tracked down and quarantined those who came into contact with the infected. Of the 3 recent incidents, 2 are women and one is a one-and-a-half-year-old child.

Momeenpura and Satranjipura regions are both Nagpur’s coronavirus hotspots and have been sealed by municipal district corporation. The 112 people tracked are now under 14 quarantined and will be screened for coronavirus once they have completed quarantine. Nagpur currently has 127 successful cases out of which 23 recovered while one succumbed.

72 new COVID-19 patients were registered in another Maharashtra district of Thane on Sunday, bringing confirmed cases toll to 687, officials said. Most of the new patients are from the areas of Thane District, Kalyan Dombivali, Mira Bhayandar, and Navi Mumbai. An increase of nine positive cases of coronavirus in Palghar has brought the number to 138. 19 people have died in Thane as a result of the infection so far, while 10 have died in Palghar district, the officials said. In Thane city there are 226 positive cases, in Mira Bhayandar 146, in Navi Mumbai 132, in Kalyan Dombivali 129, they said.

In the meantime, cases of Maharashtra coronavirus have risen to 8,068, including 342 deaths, with 1076 recovering.

Nagpur:- It is important to get sufficient knowledge about the virus to win the battle against Covid-19’s global pandemic. To this end, the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has initiated an ‘SEQ-Mission’ aimed at sequencing over 500 viral genomes from Covid.

Covid-19 is caused by a coronavirus, whose genetic material is RNA (ribonucleic acid), and not DNA. The virus is pathogenic according to scientists as it has some commands in its RNA that allow it to bind to humans.

Through using the sequencing method, it is possible to read the commands on a genome which is the entire gene set of a living organism. The SEQ-Mission method was compiled by Atya Kapley, senior lead scientist at the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (Neeri), which is a constituent CSIR laboratory.

The compilation notes that genome sequencing will include the virus’ blueprint and help in the creation of improved clinical care systems. “The SEQ-Mission will concentrate on sequencing the viral genome from samples obtained from every part of the world. Through the number of samples, the better the interpretation of pathogenesis would be, “he said.

Kapley has told us that the country has already sequenced 28 Covid virus genomes. “CSIR plans to do 500 in four weeks’ time. There are samples of viruses from different positive patients. And if we do pan India we will see more clearly what kind of strains we are being contaminated with, “she added.

The additional said the sequencing would be carried out in-house at CSIR-IGIB (Delhi) and CSIR-CCMB (Hyderabad). Both institutes claim to have the sequencing facilities needed.

Highlighting the need to research more samples to battle the disease, the compilation said, “Much like the human genome project where it was important to sequence all races and populations recognize the similarity in our DNA as well as the specific characteristics of each race, in the case of Covid the same is important. It will help scientists understand why certain people are more vulnerable to different diseases, why some are safe, and so on.

Similarly, we need to sequence the virus through various regions of the world in order to understand variants, otherwise, we won’t be able to develop foolproof drugs and recognize how the virus is binding on human receptors. “The compilation added that mutations were found to be widespread in the SARS-CoV-2 genome (the coronavirus that caused Covid-19), adding that their protein expression is related to wi Mutations are variants of the original series.

“These clinical results are important to explain the many outbreaks that have occurred in various populations. There are three major recognized lineages for beta-corona virus (Lineages A-B-C), and lineage-B belongs to SARS-CoV-2. Such results have been possible from numerous tests, and are still being studied in many patients for respiratory infection, gastrointestinal, and CNS infection. It is therefore advisable to include several sequences and samples as India is second in the population of the world, “he said.

Highlighting the major advantages of sequencing the viral genome, Kapley said, “The most important consequence of the sequencing exercise is that it would reveal the genetic codes for viral pathogenesis and its lifecycle, its variants and binding patterns for drugs. All of these are important questions that need answers if we are to fight and conquer this pandemic.

Nagpur:- All satranjipura contact tested positive at the wanadongri quarantine center as per the sources late saturday night, reports of 17 people. For this 19 people tested positive in city on saturday.

With the latest growth, it has been told that the cases of the virus-borne disease are at 126 in the state’s second capital. The silver lining, however, is that 22 patients were successfully diagnosed with the disease and returned home.

Satranjipura’s cluttered region in nagpur continues to hit headlines with maximum corona patients coming from this hotspot. Both the district administration and the police are on their toes to tackle the crisis but the relief appears to be a far-fetched hope as every other day adds to the positive cases coming from the locality of satranjipura.

Nagpur: The number of positive patients from Satranjipura increased to 59 with seven more from city testing positive for Covid-19 on Friday. At the same time, the number of cases in seven days from one Mominpura family swelled to 11.

In the district, the total number of cases rose to 105. The number in town climbed to 101. One of seven new positive patients is from Satranjipura and reportedly a 68-year-old deceased neighbor, Covid-19’s first and only death in area. A woman, she has been under institutional quarantine since April 22 and was admitted to IGGMCH after positive testing.

Just the case of Satranjipura contributed 56.19% of the total incidents. Reports of the first and second samples of more than 140 individuals are still awaited. The samples of 150 people quarantined at MLA Hostel and Wanadongri were taken Friday. Also awaited are the accounts of these, all the deceased’s neighbours. Remaining six successful cases are from Mominpura taking a total of 24 that is 22.85% of the district’s total cases.

NMC Mahal-Gandhibagh Zone Zonal Medical Officer Dr Khwaja Moinuddin said, “Five people are 42-year-old immediate family members who had tested positive on April 18. Two are his brothers, one brother’s wife, and her 5-year-old child. The fifth person is his father’s brother,’ he said. Five family members of the person — father, mother, wife, and two children on April 21 had tested positive. And the cumulative number of positive people from this family now is 11.

The NMC team led by Khwaja had quarantined 27 persons from the family residing in one building at Chudi Gully, Mominpura, immediately after the individual was tested positive on April 18. Remaining reports are awaited.

NMC has begun tracking similar connections of 11 successful individuals. The 42-year-old was taking care of 8 Tablighi Jamaatis food and other requirements. Reporting of one more person (male, 38) from Mominpura came positive in late growth. The person’s information could not be identified via the NMC.

Mominpura Family * The 42-year-old resident of Chuddi Gully, Mominpura, tested positive on April 18 * He was caring for eight Jamaatis campsites in Darul Falah, Takia Deewanshah, Mominpura, Jabalpur.

* His five family members — father, mother, wife and two children tested positively on April 21

* Tests from his two parents, the wife of one of four parents, his child and his father’s brother were positive on Friday

* Tests from the remaining 16 family members are anticipated

* NMC is now monitoring near connections between all these individuals.

Nagpur: The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has approved 12 private hospitals for the care of Covid-19 positive patients should there be a further rise in infection cases. Such hospitals can be brought into use by the civic body sometime after April 27.

On April 21 that municipal commissioner Tukaram Mundhe had ordered 13 private hospitals to be ready to treat Covid-19 positive patients.

In this regard, Mundhe released a notification on 23 April. The NMC plans to establish ready government and private hospitals with a total capacity of 5,000 beds. The room at IGGMCH and GMCH, in the current situation, is about 220 beds.

The civic chief told that after capacity at government hospitals is depleted, private hospitals will be placed into service as Covid-19 centers. “Be prepared for whatever situation needs to be,” he said.

The 12 hospitals on NMC’s list each have 100 beds or more. In addition, 29 more hospitals with a capacity of 50-100 beds have been identified and will be available for use in the event of 12 notified hospitals.

The NMC is also planning 7,000-bed institutional quarantine facilities, with 1,500 beds in the first phase. For 41 private hospitals dedicated to Covid-19 patients, the NMC also aims to alert several other private hospitals for other forms of diseases as non-Covid-19 centres.

राजधानी में कोरोना वायरस संक्रमित मरीजों पर प्लाज्मा थेरेपी को लेकर दिल्ली के मुख्यमंत्री अरविंद केजरीवाल (Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal) ने शुक्रवार को अहम जानकारी दी। उन्होंने कहा कि लोक नायक जय प्रकाश नारायण अस्पताल में 4 मरीजों पर प्लाज्मा थेरेपी का ट्रायल किया गया, जो उत्साहजनक रहे हैं।

प्लाज्मा थेरेपी को लेकर डॉक्टरों के प्रयास को सराहा

सीएम केजरीवाल ने कहा कि पिछले हफ्ते हमें केंद्र सरकार से इजाजत मिली थी कि जो कोरोना के सबसे सीरियस मरीज हैं उन पर प्लाज्मा थेरेपी करके देख सकते हैं कि इसके नतीजे क्या है? LNJP अस्पताल के मरीजों पर यह ट्रायल करने की इजाजत मिली थी। यहां पर भर्ती चार मरीजों पर ट्रायल करके देखा गया है। अभी तक के नतीजे उत्साहवर्धक हैं।

तीन फेज में होती है कोरोना की बीमारी

डॉ. एसके सरीन ने यह भी बताया कि हमने मिलकर एक शुरुआती योजना बनाई थी। आइएलबीएस अस्पताल के पास बहुत अच्छा ब्लड बैंक है। हमारे पास कोरोना की कोई दवाई नहीं थी। 1901 में भी ये प्लाज्मा थेरेपी इस्तेमाल हुई थी। यह बीमारी तीन फेस में होती है। पहला फेज में वायरस आता है। दूसरे फेज में सांस की दिक्कत होती है। तीसरे स्टेज में शरीर की सभी क्रियाओं को यह ठप्प कर देता है, नतीजतन मरीज की मृत्यु हो जाती है।

दिल्ली के 3 और मरीजों को दी जाएगी प्लाज्मा थेरेपी

वहीं, यकृत व पित्त विज्ञान संस्थान (आइएलबीएस) के निदेशक डॉ. एसके सरीन ने भी प्लाज्मा थेरेपी को लेकर उस्ताह जताया है। उन्होंने इस मौके पर कहा कि हमने बहुत सोच समझकर प्लाज्मा थेरेपी का ट्रायल शुरू किया है। 4 मरीजों में उत्साहवर्धक नतीजे देखे हैं और शुक्रवार को 3 और कोरोना वायरस संक्रमित मरीजों को प्लाज्मा थेरेपी देंगे।

10 मरीजों के ठीक होने पर होगी असली जीत

वहीं,अरविंद केजरीवाल ने एक  निजी अस्पताल के प्लाज्मा थेरेपी के इस्तेमाल पर कहा कि उस मरीज को आज अस्पताल से छुट्टी मिल सकती है। अगले 2 से 3 दिन हम ट्रायल करेंगे उसके बाद केंद्र सरकार से पूरी दिल्ली के सीरियस मरीजों को प्लाज्मा थेरेपी देने की इजाजत केंद्र सरकार से मांगेंगे। बहुत सारे लोगों ने डेंगू के लिए ब्लड दिया होगा। जैसे उसमें प्लेटलेट्स निकालते हैं इसी तरह से इसमें प्लाज्मा निकालते हैं और खून शरीर में वापस चला जाएगा।

यह शुरुआती नतीजे हैं, ऐसा नहीं सोचना चाहिए कि हमें करोना का इलाज मिल गया,  लेकिन इससे उम्मीद की किरण नजर आ रही है। यह खबर उत्साहवर्धक है। जितने लोग ठीक हो कर घर गए हैं उनके घर फोन आएगा आने-जाने के लिए हम आपके घर पर गाड़ी भेज देंगे। जो लोग ठीक हो कर घर आ गए हैं उनसे हाथ जोड़कर निवेदन कि आप लोग बहुत से लोगों की जान बचा सकते हैं।

डॉ. एसके सरीन ने लोगों से प्लाज्मा डोनेट करने की अपील भी की, साथ ही कहा कि डोनर को नुकसान नहीं होगा यह हमारी जिम्मेदारी है। लोग आगे आएं, डोनेशन करें प्लाज्मा का। हम मरीज के ऊपर पूरी जी जान से काम करेंगे, संभव है वो ठीक हो जाए। प्लाज्मा थेरेपी बहुत सस्ती है। अगले 10 दिन में हम और नतीजे बता पाएंगे। इसी सप्ताह 4 में से 2 मरीज अस्पताल में से जाने लायक हो सकते हैं। वह मरीज वेंटिलेटर पर जाने की स्थिति में थे। 4 में से 2 मरीजों को मंगलवार को प्लाज्मा दिया गया। 3 दिन बाद उन्हें आईसीयू से निकालकर वार्ड में शिफ़्ट कर देंगे।

डॉ. एसके सरीन ने कहा कि हमें लगता है कि अगर शुरू के 10 मरीज ठीक हो जाएं, तो हमें लीड मिल सकती है।इस थेरेपी के बहुत से फायदे हैं। जिनको कोरोना हुआ वह लोग रिकवर हुए अगर वह प्लाज्मा देंगे तभी यह प्लाज्मा थेरेपी आगे बढ़ सकेगी। डोनर की सुरक्षा हमारे लिए सबसे ज्यादा जरूरी है।
