SMOKERS AT RISK- SARS- COV 2 Receptors are Increasing in lungs of Smokers

SARS- COV 2 Receptors are increasing in the lungs of Smokers The scientist from CSHL suggests that Cigarette smoke Tend the lungs to form more ACE2 (Angiotensin-converting Enzyme 2), It's a protein that is responsible for COVID-19 grab and mediator to enter the human cell. The report in the Journal " the developmental Cell" on 16 May 2020, Reported that Why Smokers appears to be in danger for Severe Infections. A suggestion can be seen that quitting smoking can reduce the risk of Coronavirus for the smoker. Scientists and Researchers are tending to observe since early stage that how the COVID 19 is affecting people at every stage. Most infected INdividuals Affected only Mild illness, others require intensive care due to virus attack. There are three groups that are observed for severe illness as for - MEN, ELDERLY and SMOKERS. CSHL Fellow  Jason Sheltzer  and Joan Smith, an engineer at Google focussed first on Gene comparing activity in Lungs at different ages, b...

Throat Sensor to Track COVID 19 - Artificial Intelligence

Throat Sensor to Track COVID 19 Powered by AI- COVID-19 is growing outmost all over the world. The ongoing Pandemic Outbreak has resulted in a big shift across the Industries, but the Healthcare system is finding a way to develop the solution day by day. A flexible Wireless sensor is placed where the Chest and Throat meet, aggregating the information about the breathing and coughing induced by COVID-19. The Device provide information about the early signs of Coronavirus symptoms that can be recorded in Sensor. Researchers at Northwestern University partnered with Shirley Ryan AbilityLab to develop a tiny flexible sensor device that can track respiration rate, cough, shortage of breathing, body temperature.  It adheres to the skin below Suprasternal Notch- the base of your throat where airflow is closet to the skin and tracheostomies are performed. The Wearable design to be worn on the throat is in use of about 25 individuals for 2 weeks so far generating 15...
