Coronavirus Doctor, who postponed his wedding to treat patients, dies of virus





Beijing: A 29-year-old Chinese doctor, who postponed his wedding to treat patients infected with the deadly coronavirus, has died treating them after being infected by the virus, the ninth fatality among the healthcare providers working to contain the outbreak.
Dr Peng Yinhua, doctor of a Wuhan hospital who treated patients infected with the coronavirus, died on Thursday night, according to the health bureau.
Peng, a respiratory acute care medical professional, became infected while working to combat the novel coronavirus at the First People's Hospital of Jiangxia District of Wuhan. He was hospitalised on January 25 and transferred to the Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital for treatment on January 30.
"Peng Yinhua, a frontline doctor at Jiangxia First Hospital in virus epicenter #Wuhan, died of #COVID19 on Thursday night. He had earlier delayed his wedding as he wanted to treat patients with the disease at hospital," state-run Global Times tweeted on Friday.
He died from the virus despite doctors' all-out efforts to save his life.
Chinese health authorities have asked health agencies to apply for the honour of martyr for deceased medical staff to the veteran's affairs authorities, comfort the families of the deceased and help solve their difficulties, as well as publicise stories of those who sacrificed their lives during the epidemic, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
Li Wenliang, the 34-year-old Chinese doctor, who was one of the first people to sound the alarm about the new outbreak died on February 7.
Li sent a message to his medical-school alumni group on December 30, warning that seven patients had been quarantined at Wuhan Central Hospital after coming down with a respiratory illness that seemed like the SARS coronavirus. But Wuhan police reprimanded and silenced Li.
Earlier, Dr Liu Zhiming, head of the Wuchang Hospital died due to the virus. On the same day Liu Fan, senior nurse of the hospital, died along with her parents and brother due to the virus.
China’s National Health Commission earlier said that a total of 1,716 medical workers had contracted the infection as of February 11. Peng's death takes the death toll among the medical staff to nine.

Stem Cell Therapy for Joints Pain

By
 Stem Cell Therapy for Joints Pain Stem cell therapy is a type of regenerative medicine that has shown promising results in treating joint pain. The goal of stem cell therapy is to promote the growth of new, healthy tissue to replace damaged tissue. Stem cells are the cells which have the ability to differentiate into various types of cells in the body. This means that they can become cells that are needed for repairing damaged tissue. When it comes to joint pain, stem cell therapy involves the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which have the ability to differentiate into bone, cartilage, and other types of cells. These cells are often taken from the patient's own body, from adipose tissue (fat), and then processed and injected directly into the affected joint.

By
  Stem Cell Therapy for Knee Pain Stem cell therapy is a non-invasive treatment that can help reduce inflammation, repair damaged tissue, and prevent knee replacement surgery. Stem cell injections are able to regenerate knee joints and keep patients out of the operating room. Studies suggest that side effects are minimal and temporary after the procedure. Stem cell therapy can be used to treat knee osteoarthritis, cartilage degeneration, and various acute conditions. Mayo Clinic offers a unique regenerative medicine approach for repairing knee cartilage using stem cells which can be completed in a single surgery. How Effective is Stem Cell Therapy for Knee Pain According to several studies, stem cell therapy is an effective and safe treatment for knee osteoarthritis that considerably reduces pain and improves the function of the knee.
