People infected with COVID-19 are at a significantly higher risk for developing inflammation of the heart muscle, abnormal heart rhythms, blood clots, stroke, heart attacks, and heart failure for at least a year after infection, compared to those who have not been infected, said the study. Scientists used made-in-India drug, 2DG, to reverse the toxic … Read more

A whole-genome sequencing is required for the identification of genetic mutations and recombinations of the virus, while epidemiological studies can help assess its distribution. Mathematical modelling is required to project its future spread. Scientists from BRIC nations to carry out mathematical modelling of Covid to project future spread New Delhi: Scientists from India, China, Russia … Read more

COVID-19 Study: The researchers followed a group of healthcare workers from the beginning of the pandemic in order to evaluate the levels of antibodies against different SARS-CoV-2 antigens over time. Scientists claimed pre-existing antibodies against common cold coronaviruses could protect from Covid London: The levels of IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 remain stable, or even increase, … Read more

COVID-19 Vaccines: The UCL Virus Watch study also found that antibody levels are substantially higher following two doses of the Pfizer vaccine than after two shots of the AstraZeneca preventive, known as Covishield in India. Antobodies of Pfizer, AstraZeneca vaccines may reduce by over 50% in 10 weeks, study finds London: Total antibody levels start … Read more

The research, published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine, found that rhinovirus, the common respiratory virus, jump-starts activity of interferon-stimulated genes. These genes trigger early-response molecules in the immune system which can stop reproduction of SARS-CoV-2 that causes Covid. Exposure to common cold virus can protect from SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, researchers say Washington: Exposure … Read more

Oxford-AstraZeneca Covishield COVID-19 Vaccine: A low number of platelets — blood cells that help prevent blood loss when vessels are damaged — can result in no symptoms or can lead to an increased risk of bleeding or, in some cases, clotting, they said. The Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine is also known as the Covishield vaccine London: The … Read more

New COVID-19 Testing Method: Scientists say this new method which gives Covid test results in just 1 second can greatly reduce the cost of testing. The technology can not only detect COVID-19 but can also be applied to other diseases too, they said. Scientists have developed a sensor system that can detect coronavirus from saliva … Read more

Osiris-Rex is “now moving away over 600 miles an hour from Bennu, on its way home,” Dante Lauretta, head of the mission, said on NASA’s video broadcast of the event. The probe still has a vast distance to cover before it lands in Utah desert on September 24, 2023(FILE) Washington: The US space probe Osiris-Rex … Read more

The test is scheduled to take place at NASA’s Langley Research Center’s Landing and Impact Research Facility at Hampton in Virginia on April 6 The Orion will carry astronauts to the Moon and beyond as a part of the Artemis missions. Virginia: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will air live its series of impact … Read more

Eventually, SpaceX plans to combine the Starship spaceship with a Super Heavy rocket, creating a fully reusable system. It was descending to the surface when the feed was lost once again. Washington: SpaceX chief Elon Musk confirmed on Twitter Tuesday that the latest prototype of the company’s Starship rocket series had crashed, after the video … Read more
