First case of coronavirus in Kerala confirm by Health ministry


India on Thursday reported its first case of novel coronavirus infection, with the Union health ministry confirming that a student who came back from to Kerala from China’s Wuhan tested positive for the infection.

“One positive case of novel coronavirus patient, of a student studying in Wuhan University, has been reported in Kerala. The patient has tested positive for novel coronavirus and is in isolation in the hospital,” the health ministry said.

The female student is stable and is being closely monitored, Kerala health officials said. State health minister KK Shailaja has called an emergency meeting today.


Meanwhile, three patients, who were admitted to Delhi’s Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital, were discharged on Thursday after being tested negative of coronavirus. Since Monday, these three men were kept under tight health monitoring and isolation for the medical treatment after they complained of respiratory illnesses.

“The three patients are of age 24, 34 and 48, respectively. One patient is a student while the other two have gone for the business work trip to China and returned,” Dr Meenakshi Bhardwaj, medical superintendent of the hospital, said.

In the wake of rising cases of the virus, the central government on Wednesday issued an important travel advisory asking people to refrain from travelling to China.
India has tested 28 samples so far for the deadly infection that broke out in the Wuhan city of China in December last year.

Coronavirus originated in Wuhan, a Chinese city of more than 11 million people, and has since then spread to various countries around the world.
As many as 170 people have died of the virus, while over 1700 cases have been registered in China alone.
Health authorities around the world are taking action to prevent a global pandemic as the virus continues to spread, with cases reported in Australia, France, the United States and several Asian countries besides China.
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV).
A novel coronavirus is a new strain that had not been previously identified in humans.

Know About ​Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)

By
 Know About ​Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) ​Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a type of adult stem cell found in several tissues in the body, including bone marrow, adipose tissue, and umbilical cord tissue. They have the ability to differentiate into multiple cell types, such as osteoblasts, chondrocytes, and adipocytes, which are responsible for bone, cartilage, and fat tissue formation, respectively. MSCs have gained significant attention in recent years due to their potential use in regenerative medicine. They have the ability to secrete various growth factors and cytokines that promote tissue repair and regeneration. Additionally, they have immunomodulatory properties that make them attractive candidates for treating autoimmune diseases and reducing inflammation. MSCs have been used in various preclinical and clinical trials to treat a wide range of conditions, including osteoarthritis, cardiovascular disease, and neurological disorders, among others. They can be isolated from...

Stem Cell Therapy for Liver Cirrhosis

By
 Stem Cell Therapy for Liver Cirrhosis Stem cell therapy is a promising area of research for the treatment of liver cirrhosis. Liver cirrhosis is a progressive condition in which the liver becomes scarred and damaged, leading to a loss of liver function. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including chronic alcohol abuse, viral hepatitis, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Stem cells have the potential to regenerate damaged tissues and organs, including the liver. In the case of liver cirrhosis, stem cells can differentiate into liver cells and promote the growth of healthy tissue, thereby restoring liver function.
