COVID-19 VACCINE AND MYOCARDITIS

 

probable link between COVID-19 vaccine and myocarditis cases

Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle (myocardium). Myocarditis can affect heart muscle heart's electrical system, reducing heart’s ability to pump and causing rapid or abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias).

A viral infection usually causes myocarditis, but it can result from a reaction to a drug or be part of a more general inflammatory condition.

Severe myocarditis weakens heart so that the rest of body doesn't get enough blood. Clots can form in heart, leading to a stroke or heart attack.

Causes

·         Viruses. Many viruses are commonly associated with myocarditis, including the viruses that cause the common cold (adenovirus); COVID-19; hepatitis B and C; parvovirus, which causes a mild rash, usually in children (fifth disease); and herpes simplex virus.

·         Bacteria. Numerous bacteria can cause myocarditis, including staphylococcus, streptococcus, the bacterium that causes diphtheria and the tick-borne bacterium responsible for Lyme disease.

·         Parasites. Among these are such parasites as Trypanosoma cruzi and toxoplasma, including some that are transmitted by insects and can cause a condition called Chagas disease. This disease is much more prevalent in Central and South America than in the US, but it can occur in travelers and in immigrants from that part of the world.

·         Fungi. Yeast infections, such as candida; molds, such as aspergillus; and other fungi, such as histoplasma, often found in bird droppings, can sometimes cause myocarditis, particularly in people with weakened immune systems.

 


Other causes include certain chemicals or allergic reactions to medications or toxins like:

·         Alcohol

·         Drugs

·         Lead

·         Spider bites

·         Wasp stings

·         Snakebites

·         Chemotherapy and radiation therapy

Symptoms

If anyone have a mild case of myocarditis or are in the early stages, one might have no symptoms or mild ones, such as chest pain or shortness of breath.

In serious cases the symptoms include:

·         Chest pain

·         Rapid or abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias)

·         Shortness of breath, at rest or during physical activity

·         Fluid retention with swelling of legs, ankles and feet

·         Fatigue

·         Other signs and symptoms of a viral infection, such as a headache, body aches, joint pain, fever, a sore throat or diarrhea

Complications

Severe myocarditis can permanently damage your heart muscle, possibly causing:

·         Heart failure. Untreated, myocarditis can damage heart's muscle so that it can't pump blood effectively. In severe cases, myocarditis-related heart failure may require a ventricular assist device or a heart transplant.

·         Heart attack or stroke. If heart's muscle is injured and can't pump blood, the blood that pools in heart can form clots. If a clot blocks one of heart's arteries, one can have a heart attack. If a blood clot in heart travels to an artery leading to brain before becoming lodged, one can have a stroke.

·         Rapid or abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). Damage to heart muscle can cause arrhythmias.

·         Sudden cardiac death. Certain serious arrhythmias can cause heart to stop beating (sudden cardiac arrest). It's fatal if not treated immediately.



 

Treatment

If anyone have myocarditis, doctor will treat its cause, if possible. They’ll also try to take the extra load off heart, if needed, and take steps to prevent or control complications.

 

Usually, anyone will be prescribed medicines to help heart work better.

 

Examples include:

·         ACE inhibitors (Tablet CAPOTEN etc.)

·         Beta blockers (Tablet Atenolol etc.)

·         Diuretics (Tablet Lasix etc.)

Prevention

Many people who get myocarditis are otherwise healthy.

Many things can lead to it.

The best ways to prevent it are to treat infections quickly and take action to prevent them.

·         Avoid people who have a viral or flu-like illness until they've recovered. If anyone sick with viral symptoms, try to avoid exposing others.

·         Follow good hygiene. Regular hand-washing can help prevent spreading illness.

·         Avoid risky behaviors. To reduce chances of getting an HIV-related myocardial infection, practice safe sex and don't use illegal drugs.

·         Minimize exposure to ticks. If anyone spend time in tick-infested areas, wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants to cover as much of skin as possible. Apply tick or insect repellents that contain DEET.

·         Get your vaccines. Stay up to date on the recommended vaccines, including those that protect against rubella and influenza — diseases that can cause myocarditis.

Covid 19 Rapid Antigen Test Kit

  Antibody tests are useful to help track the spread of a contagious disease , disease that is readily spread. It can be very useful to identify those who should be vaccinated urgently, and to select the donors for convalescent plasma therapy. Antigens are molecules capable of stimulating or encouraging an immune system response. Each antigen has distinct surface features or structures called epitopes, generating specific responses. What are Antibody and Antigen ? An antibody (Ab), also known as an immunoglobulin (Ig), is a large, Y-shaped protein used by the immune system to identify and remove foreign objects such as pathogenic bacteria and viruses.  These antibodies are produced by B cells of the immune system due to exposure to antigens. Each antibody contains a paratope which recognizes a specific 'epitope' on an antigen, acting like a lock and key binding mechanism. This binding makes possible to eliminate antigens from the body, either by direct neutralization or by ‘tag

Portable Pulse Oximeter

Image
  Portable Pulse Oximeter Portable Pulse Oximeter is a noninvasive and painless device to measures oxygen saturation level, or the oxygen levels in blood. It can rapidly detect even small changes in how efficiently oxygen is being carried  to all of its cells, tissues, and organs. Portable Pulse Oximeter can be used to measure oxygen saturation levels along with heart rate. Portable Pulse oximeter can be used to monitor the health of a person with any type of condition that can affect blood oxygen levels. These conditions include: 1 . chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 2 . asthma 3 . pneumonia 4 . lung cancer 5 . anemia 6 . heart attack or heart failure 7 . congenital heart defects How Portable Oximeter Works To measure oxygen level, a probe that looks like a bag clip is placed onto fingertip, toe, or earlobe. Light beams pass through the blood, measuring the amount of oxygen gas. It does this by measuring changes of light absorption in oxygenated blood containing high oxygen l

  Nvidia turns up the AI heat with 1,200W Blackwell GPUs AI's power and thermal demands hit home Nvidia doubles up on GPU compute with second-gen Superchips According to Nvidia its DGX B200 chassis with eight B200 GPUs will consume roughly 14.3kW – something that's going to require roughly 60kW of rack power and thermal headroom to handle. Blackwell's full potential will require switching over to liquid cooling. In a liquid-cooled configuration, Nvidia says the chip can output 1,200W of thermal energy when pumping out the full 20 petaFLOPS of FP4. While Nvidia may dominate the AI infrastructure market, it's hardly the only name out there. Heavy hitters like Intel and AMD are rolling out Gaudi and Instinct accelerators. The B200 "Blackwell" is the largest chip physically possible using existing foundry tech, according to its makers. The chip is an astonishing 208 billion transistors , and is made up of two chiplets, which by themselves are the largest
