Study: Danger remains even after recovering from corona
Corona virus badly damages the lungs. Many research has also been done regarding this and it is also being seen in corona patients.
Now scientists have found during a study that if corona patients are cured of infection and
He was discharged from the hospital at least 3 months after that and in some patients, the corona virus continues to damage the lungs for longer than this.
They noted that hyperpolarized in MRI scans still found abnormalities in the lungs of some corona patients more than 3 months after permanent remission.
According to researchers from the UK's Sheffield and Oxford Universities, this lung damage in patients who have been cured of corona was not detected in routine CT scans and clinical tests and in such a situation, it is obvious that patients will be told that their lungs Hyperpolarized genes or MRI scans were needed to check that they were normal and did not cause any harm.
Indeed, hyperpolarized MRI scans are detecting parts of the lungs where the ability to take in oxygen has been affected due to the long-term effect of the corona virus on the former, even though they appear normal in CT scans, said lead researcher Fergus Gleeson. That many corona patients feel difficulty in breathing for several months even after being discharged from the hospital.
While the CT scan shows that their lungs are functioning normally, but when hyperpolarized ones were scanned, it was found that the abnormality not seen in the CT scan prevents oxygen from reaching all parts of the lungs normally .
The study, published in the journal Radiology, also shows that corona patients who have not been admitted to hospitals but experience shortness of breath for a long time may have similar damage to their lungs. Researchers said that a large-scale study is needed to confirm this.
Smoking affects the lungs The Union Health Ministry, through a document titled COVID-19 Epidemic and Tobacco Use in India, stated that smokers are more likely to develop severe symptoms or die from COVID-19 because it is primarily It attacks the lungs because the fingers come in contact with the lips while searching, increasing the chances of transmission of the virus from hand to mouth. Regarding the risk of Kovid-19 from smoking, the Union Health Ministry said that the transmission of the virus from hand to mouth increases due to the round, which is why such people are more likely to be vulnerable to Kovid-19.
