What is hunta virus and it's consequences

HOW IT INFECT THE HUMAN
                
Single standed ,enveloped, negative sense, RNA virus which normally  infect rodents where they don't cause disease (work as reserviour)
SPREAD -  Hunta virus present in the urin and feaces  of rodents , spread of infection when the people are contact with rodents or their dropping or urins or possibly  to inhale virus from droppings.
Very rear possibilities to person to person infection.

ON THE BASIS OF DIFFERENT  TYPES OF STRAINS, VIRUS  AFFECTS  DIFFERENT  ORGANS;

  • In lunga, causing hunta virus pulmonary  syndrome (HPS)
  • In kidney, causing  hemorrahagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS)
However many symptoms of two infection are overlaps  in initial. 

HUNTA VIRUS PULMONARY  SYNDROME

People with HPS then develope  a cough and shortness of breath, which may become serious , fluid  collects around  the neck and low pressure
Death in up to about 50% of the people .
Those who servive first few day then recovery is about 2-3 week

HEMORRHAGIC FEVER WITH RENAL SYNDROME  
Some people  suffered with hemorrahagic  fever with renal syndrome, infection  is mild don't cause symptom.
Some are suffered with vague mild symptom but recover.
In others, symptoms become severe. Like SHOCK, KIDNEY  FAILURE, ANURIA, HEMATURIA, and BRUISES on their skin.

Death occurs in 6 to 15% .of those who servive, most  recover in 3 to 6 week of age , but recover may take up to 6 month

TREATMENT- There is no specific  treat ment,  cure, and vaccine for hunta virus.


  •  In intensive care.

  • HPS  patients  are incubated and  give oxygen therapy, with suppprtive drugs to stablise pressure.

  • Renal syndrome, patients  are on dialysis therapy and supportive anti viral drug like ribavirin given intravenously .

Orthopaedic stem cell therapy overview 2018

Stem cell therapy use to treat orthopaedic  conditions. Stem cell are cells that have capability  to self renew by dividing  and to develope in to more mature and specialised cells. It's can be  unipotent  , multinational , pluripotent or totipotent  depending on the noumber  of cell type to which they can give rise. Several types  of stem cells that can be use for different purposes. Embryonic  stem cells Non embryonic stem cells Induced pluripotent  stem cells Cord blood stem cells Amniotic  fluid  stem cells Repair of damaged tissue by using healing  power of mesenchymal  stem cells (MSCs) found  in other body parts or from donar  amblical  card  tissue . Theses MSCs have ability to regenerate worn or damaged cartilage , repair damaged muscles & ligaments, control inflammation and rejuvenate aging cell population . Now a days  these therapy  use to trea...

What is snake venom and how its use as medicine

SNAKE VENOM USE AS A MEDICINE , Snake venom is highly  modified  parotid salivary gland secretion that secrets zootoxines. Venoms contain more than 20 different  compounds, mostly proteins, polypeptide, enzymes, and various other substances with toxins and other lethal  proterties serve  to immobilize and digestion of prey animal and defence against threats. SIX  MAZER MEDICAL  USES  FOR THE SNAKE  VENOM: 1) TREATING CANCER -   venom  from  rattlesnake contain a chemical  called crotoxin, it only work on particular kinds of cell (blood and muscles). Research Harnessed  the unique  combination  of targeting  and toxicity  in crotoxin to creat  a cancer treatment, called CB24. 2) REDUCE  BLOOD PRESSURE-  The venom  of the Brazilian  pitviper contain a protein that disrupt  the angiotensin - converting  enzyme (ACE), which rises blood pressu...

What are the gene therapies uses to treat cancer

                                              What  genes are Genes are coded massages that tell cells how to make proteins, proteins are the molecules that control the way cells behave. Our genes decide what we look like and how our body works. Genes are made of DNA and grouped togather to make chromosomes, they are in the nucleus of the cell. The nucleus  is the cell's control  centre. How the cell become cancerous   Cancerous cells are different  from the normal cells, they have faults or mutation in several of there genes which make them divide too often and form a tumor. The genes that are damaged might be: • Genes that encourage the cell to multiple   ( know as oncogenes) • Genes that stop the cell multiplying               ( tumour suppressor  gene) • Genes that r...
