Impending Danger: Long Covid

-

Covid-19 is not just a lung-damaging disease. Covid-19 damages many organs and systems. 

We must take precaution against Covid-19 for humanity.


The incidence of Long Covid in Covid cases is 40% for some symptoms, 30% for some symptoms, 20% etc.

The world is facing a virus that leaves its Long Covid sequelae and most likely infects T-lymphocytes.

The increased ACE2 affinity after the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2, its ability to infect cells by endosomal way, show us the risk of increasing Long Covid cases.


It has been 3-5 months since the Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 outbreaks. And at this point, Long Covid cases have increased a lot and caused a human tragedy.

There are so many people suffering from Long Covid sequelae that the number of people who can work as an economic workforce is decreasing.


The newly identified variants of concern BA.2.12.1, BA.4 and BA.5 are spreading rapidly all over the world.

There may be new pandemic waves originating from these variants in the coming period.


We must strive to prevent these possible new waves. Otherwise, SARS-CoV-2 may cause new waves and this is a dangerous situation for humanity.

T Cells Lymhopenia in SARS-CoV-2 Infections

  T Cells Lymhopenia in SARS-CoV-2 Infections   It’s important that role of T lymphocyts in immunology and pathology of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The dysregulation of the immune response in T lymphocytes is frequently observed (82.1%) in SARS-CoV-2 infection and this may help to increase of severe of COVID-19 symptoms. Especially including of ICU Covid patitents, a seriously decrease of the number of T & NK cells has been observed. It will be discussed in the future whether this decrease in the number of T and NK cells during COVID infections contributes to the pathogenicity of the SARS-CoV-2 infection or whether the factors causing the pathogenicity are responsible for the decrease in these cell numbers. In HIV infections, the decrease of number of especially CD4 and NK cells has been observed but CD8 levels either remain normal or are slightly elevated than normal. In SARS-CoV-2 infections, both CD8, CD4 and NK cell levels showed serious decreases. These decreases we...

                                                                          ASTROBİYOLOJİ GİRİŞ Güneş sistemimiz ve ötesindeki yakın gezegenlerde, uzayın kozmik radyasyonu ve gezegene düşerken oluşan sürtünme, basınç gibi faktörlere rağmen; bir zamanlar hayatta kalmayı başarabilmiş mikroorganizmaların mikro-fosilleri var mı? Bunun cevabını bulabilmek; insanlık olarak hedeflediğimiz önce yakın çapta, sonra da galaktik çapta Tip-1'den Tip-4 ve hatta Tip-5 ve üstünde var olması muhtemel medeniyetleri keşfetme arzumuz için hiç kuşkusuz büyük önem arz eder. Her ne kadar kıymetleri tam olarak anlaşılamasa da virüsler ve bakteriler bilinen hayat kavramının başlangıcı ve dahi devamlılığı için çok kritik bir öneme sahiptir. Dünya dışı yaşamların izlerini ve takibini yapmak ve bunları anlamak, dünyadaki yaşamın temel...

Virological Overwiev of Monkeypox Virus

Monkeypox Virus: A Virological Overview The Mpox virus, formerly known as Monkeypox, is a zoonotic disease, meaning it is transmitted from animals to humans. It was first identified in 1958 in monkey colonies used for research, but the first human case was reported in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Mpox belongs to the same viral family as smallpox (Poxviridae) and has gained attention in recent years due to its increasing spread worldwide. While the disease has origins in Africa, globalization and modern travel have transformed it into a global public health concern. Chronological Overview of Mpox Virus Symptoms The symptoms of the Mpox virus typically progress through two main phases: the Prodromal Phase and the Skin Lesions Phase. 1. Prodromal Phase (Early Stage) In the initial stage of the illness, flu-like symptoms are predominant: - Fever:  High fever (above 38.5°C) is usually the first symptom to appear. - Headache: Severe headaches are common. - Muscle and Back Pa...
