Did you know? That… until now, “Omicron” has sprouted up until there are as many as 1,694 subspecies.
Assoc.Prof.Dr.Theera Worathanarat Posted on personal Facebook “Thira Woratanarat (Papa Mee Keen)”…reminds again “COVID-19″…still with us close to us In addition, obesity, high fat, diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking, these 5 are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. And the risk of death of the population around the world.
The latest research, analyzing 112 academic papers from 34 countries, published in the New England Journal of Medicine (26 August 2023) found that
If obesity, high fat, diabetes, high blood pressure and smoking can be controlled It will reduce the chances of having cardiovascular disease in 10 years by more than 50% in both males and females. It will also reduce the risk of death from all causes by up to 20% as well.
Advice…weight control Beware of sweet and salty foods, quit smoking, and regularly screen for disease. If there are various diseases It should be treated to control the disease to be within normal criteria.
Reinforcing COVID-19…Protecting yourself during daily life is essential. Research from a team at Yale University, USA. Published in the journal Nature Communications (19 Aug. 23)
study the effects of vaccination, previous infection And who has been vaccinated and has been infected before, how much will it help prevent infection during the “Delta” and “Omicron” outbreaks?
by conducting a study in Connecticut State Prisons from June ’21-May ’22 The essence found immunity from vaccines or have previously been infected or both This will help reduce the risk of contracting the COVID-19 virus to some extent in the event that the outbreak is at a mild to moderate level. But if there is a large outbreak, for example, there are people infected in the same cell will not be able to reduce the risk of infection
The results of this study are useful for expanding the results at the social level. because it suggests that the effectiveness of vaccine immunity And… or having a history of infection before may help only to a certain extent. But if there is an outbreak in society will not help in reducing the risk of infection
Policies and measures for disease control and prevention which must emphasize the people in society to have self-defense behaviors during daily life by using non-drug treatment to help, including avoiding crowded places Improving the environment to be better ventilated Hand hygiene after handling public items
“It includes the distance. And properly wearing a mask…these precautionary measures will greatly reduce the risk of infection spreading. Especially in the current situation where there is a large number of infections each day. and have a lot of travel and trade coming and going to see each other.”
“COVID-19″… Omicron is still developing and growing. Today, “EG.5.1” is more immune-resistant than the previous “XBB.1.16” outbreak.
Research from the Columbia University team The United States indicates that EG.5.1, belonging to the most recent subspecies of Omikron, is the second most common global epidemic after XBB.1.16.
…has a higher immunogenicity than XBB.1.16. In addition, the F456L mutation of EG.5.1 results in increased resistance to many monoclonal antibodies.
This is another evidence that suggests that EG.5.1 will have a greater chance of expanding the outbreak in the last quarter of this year globally. As classified by the World Health Organization as “Variants of Interest”…species of interest as well as the XBB.1.5 and XBB.1.16 that made waves earlier this year.
Interestingly, another strain “BA.2.86” was confirmed in Ohio. The United States, where confirmed cases are reported…is proof of a relationship between community-acquired infections. with the findings in the waste water reported several days ago.
It must be admitted that “BA.2.86” caused concern around the world. because there are many mutation positions and is expected to result in the virus having various performances more and more unusual Until it may lead to a pandemic in the future, however, the world is now closely monitoring.
And… the results of this virus study should be out in the next few weeks.
Currently, cases of this infection have been reported in several continents, including the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, including Israel, Denmark, the United Kingdom, the United States (including cases traveling from Japan), South Africa, and has been reported in municipal wastewater. both in Switzerland and Thailand
Late last month, the World Health Organization released a report. The overall picture around the world reflects the picture of “Omicron” subspecies XBB.1.16 still holding the highest proportion of outbreaks at 23.9%.
While EG.5.x is followed in second place at 23.8%, it is continuing its upward trend and may soon overtake XBB.1.16.
Currently, research reports have shown that EG.5.x is as effective at immune evasion as XBB.1.5, which has dominated the global epidemic in previous waves.
Emphasize that … the subspecies BA.2.86 has been closely monitored.
Later, the US NIH warned about the spread of COVID-19. May damage the energy production in the cells. The research results indicate that COVID-19 infection will affect the mitochondria. Which is an important element in the production of energy in the cells of the body.
affecting various organs in the body and cause various abnormal symptoms after infection Or there is a problem “Try Covid”
Another major challenge is that after the end of the “zero-covid” policy, China has excess deaths. In the population aged 30 and over, more than 1.87 million people in a 2-month period, this information is in the research published in the international medical journal JAMA Network Open (24 August 2023).
All of these above important points… clearly reflect that. The global pandemic continues.
“Should live a conscious life, not be careless, always protect yourself…avoid crowded places. poor ventilation Each time infected, there is a risk of getting sick, dying, and trying COVID. Properly wearing a mask can greatly reduce the risk.” Assoc.
