One of the most dangerous things about high blood pressure is that you may not know you have it. In fact, nearly one-third of people who have high blood pressure don't know it. That’s because high blood pressure doesn’t have any symptoms unless it’s very severe. The best way to...
Treatment may help lower your risk of severe illness and typically needs to be started within 5 days of when your symptoms started.How do you prevent COVID-19?The most effective way to protect yourself from COVID-19 is to get the COVID-19 vaccine (names include Comirnaty, Spikevax, ...
SARS-CoV-2 is capable of infecting human cells through the binding of its surface protein Spike1 to host cell surface proteins. The angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) functions as a receptor for the virus and its main gateway. Pulmonary, cardiac, gut cells and body vasculature express hig...
Social Life Protects From Stroke, Infections, Blood Proteins Suggest More Health News » What are the symptoms of dehydration in children? Millions of children die worldwide each year because of dehydration, often because of diarrhea. The temperature regulation and sweat mechanism of infants are no...
Very short-acting insulin is used with meals, to help control the spike in blood sugar levels that occur with a meal. If a person does not eat on a regular schedule, very short-acting insulin can be particularly helpful.The most worrisome side effect of insulin is low blood sugar (...
Humoral immunity in COVID-19 includes antibodies (Abs) targeting spike (S) and nucleocapsid (N) SARS-CoV-2 proteins. Antibody levels are known to correlate with disease severity, but titers are poorly reported in mild or asymptomatic cases. Here, we analyzed the titers of IgA and IgG against...
High-GI foods are often high in carbohydrates and sugar, but low on fiber. They quickly spike your blood sugar and insulin. Examples of high-GI foods to limit include: White bread White potatoes Bagels Rice cakes Baked goods like cake and doughnuts ...
A sudden rise in carbon dioxide, called acute hypercapnia, is more dangerous, because your kidneys can't handle the spike. This is most likely to happen if you have a severe case of COPD or if you get a flare-up. Either way, you may be breathing too slowly, which means you aren’t...
the virus that causes COVID-19—in front of a 3D print of a SARS-CoV-2 virus particle. The spike protein (foreground) enables the virus to enter and infect human cells. On the virus model, the virus surface (blue) is covered with spike proteins (red) that enable the virus to enter...
