Trials of hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of corona will resume: WHO


Switzerland, Ta. 4 June 2020, Thursday

The World Health Organization (WHO) has decided to reintroduce the hydroxychloroquine drug used in the treatment of malaria as a trial in the treatment of corona. The trial of hydroxychloroquine will be resumed on Wednesday, World Health Organization President Tedros Adnom Gabreyes said.

Earlier, the World Health Organization (WHO) had stopped the trial of hydroxychloroquine, saying it was harmful to health. During a virtual news briefing, Tedros said, "Given the available death toll, the executive group will inform principal investigators about resuming trials of hydroxychloroquine."

The trial of the drug was halted last week due to security concerns. A report said there was no evidence that hydroxychloroquine was beneficial and that the health organization had since banned it.

This drug called hydroxychloroquine is used to treat malaria. Most of the companies manufacturing this drug are based in India. Last month, India lifted the ban on the drug at the request of US President Trump.

The study, published in The European Journal of Nutrition, is the first to find multiple associations between social jet lag—the shift in your internal body clock when your sleeping patterns change between workdays and free days—and diet quality, diet habits, inflammation and gut microbiome composition in a single cohort. Biological rhythms and body clock Previous research has shown that working shifts disrupts the body clock and can increase the risk of weight gain, heart problems and diabetes.
