In 1940 this epidemiologist explained the importance of isolation in virus transmission


London, April 13, 2020, Monday

The infection of the Novel Corona virus Covid-19 has reached the corners of the globe. Isolation to explain the spread of corona virus infection is being explained on this subject 80 years ago by Dr. John Dewey, who wrote the book Accused Infectious Diseases , which is still useful to physicians and medical students. He was a specialist in epidemic epidemics such as corona. John Dewey, a physician who spoke on isolation, was one of Britain's chief medical officers for treating infectious diseases such as smallpox, typhus, and black fever during World War II. In 1930 he was a medical officer at Western Hospital, London. He did a lot of research on the smallpox virus that has plagued man for centuries.


His book covers things like how to be accommodated if a home-based nursing home suffers from a transmitted disease. Isolation ward should be away from the room of the celebrated and other members of the family. Patient caregivers should wash their hands frequently with soap and be as open as possible in clean air. This is still useful today for those forced to live in quarantine or isolation following the corona virus. The book, written in 1940 on Isolation, remains as true today. This is very strictly followed in the hospital. He wrote about the temperature that the room temperature of the infected person must be between 50 and 60 Fahrenheit, ie 12 to 15 degrees.

In addition, the rules of isolation state that the spit, clothing and utensils of the patient need to be thoroughly cleaned. It is important to dispose of the bioavailability generated during treatment very quickly. In the Isolation Room it is important to have home decor items, easy-to-clean items and furniture by removing the calendar. This epidemiologist called isolation extremely important for the treatment and control of infectious diseases

Not only O, scientists also made A blood group a universal donor, blood shortage will come to an end

- Scientists succeed in turning A blood group into a universal donor with the help of enzymes in the gut New delhi date. Thursday, April 8, 2021 The O blood group is no longer the only universal donor in the world. Canadian scientists have also made blood group A a universal donor using a special type of bacterial enzyme. This will result in fewer deaths due to blood shortage in hospitals now and more and more patients ’blood needs can be met. The United States alone requires 16,500 liters of blood per day for emergency surgery, scheduled operations, and routine transfusions. But no blood of any group can be transfused to the patient. Successful transfusion requires that the donor's blood type match the patient's blood type. Scientists have discovered microbes in the human gut that secrete two types of enzymes. With the help of this enzyme, scientists have turned type-A i.e. A blood group into a universal donor. If this process is successful on a large scale, there will be...

Image
New Delhi, May 16, 2021, Wednesday The country seems to be relieved by the declining coronavirus infection but millions of patients admitted to hospitals when the second wave was at its peak are undergoing treatment in hospitals.

Image
Berlin, Thursday, April 29, 2020 More than 3 million people worldwide have been infected with corona. Every day there is an increase of 30 to 40 thousand cases. A study by the University of Gટિંગttingen in Germany claims that coronary heart disease is still on the rise, with millions of people being forced to stay at home in Europe or Africa, Asia or the Americas. The number of positive cases is as high as a crore. According to the data of these German researchers, only 3% of the corona virus patients in the world have been reported so far, which will be more than 10 times the original number. This estimate is based on coronavirus mortality and the onset of infection. Sebastian Folmer, a professor of development economics, believes that the country's governments and policymakers should be vigilant in planning based on the results we have received. Cases come out faster wherever the Corona test is high. Based on the quality of testing in different countries, Folmer warned that c...
