Is there any Association between Biofilms and COVID-19?

Rabia Sannam Khan*, Yasser Ali H Almoshawah, Hafsah Akhtar and Fahad Hussain

Modern Research in Dentistry

DOI: 10.31031/MRD.2020.05.000621

The global pandemic COVID-19 has brought devastating health, social and economic effects that drastically impacts the health services delivery. The route of entry of the SARS-COV-2 is respiratory system where it disturbs the equilibrium. The miscommunication between the adaptive and innate immunity is the indirect cause of death in patients suffering from COVID-19 severe symptoms. The failure in the production of effective antibodies against the virus causes the mortality. This shows that the adaptive immune response takes longer than the innate immune response. It is proposed that bacterial biofilms can be similar to viral biofilms representing the viral communities with augmented infectious capacity [1]

Possible Treatment of Lung Failure in COVID 19 Patients

Charles H Williams*

Journal of Biotechnology & Bioresearch

The development of lung failure is a severe complication of COVID 19. My friend Bill Bruns, St Clair, MO died recently even though he was on a ventilator and in an induced coma at the Washington, MO Hospital. His wife also had COVID 19, but did not develop the acute lung failure aspect, so she quarantined at home and fully recovered [1,2]. Two of my immediate family members contracted COVID 19 but did not develop the acute lung failure aspect and quarantined at home and fully recovered. They went back to work at the ear, nose, and throat clinic where they had contracted the disease.

Antiviral Nucleosides Flu Viruses Quinolines Covid-19

Krishnasarma Pathy*

Cohesive Journal of Microbiology & Infectious Disease

DOI: 10.31031/CJMI.2020.04.000586

Hydroquinone as a volatile aromatic hydrocarbon; There is a huge confusion in the public, as well as among politicians and even some scientists, about those two molecules. That confusion ultimately led to people accidently overdosing. Both molecules can be classified as 4-aminoquinolines, and both have anti-plasmodial activities, but they remain two different molecules with some different metabolites. Chloroquine has been widely used since the 1950s for prophylactic and curative treatments of malaria. Its extensive use has led to the emergence of chloroquine-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite responsible for the severest form of malaria. Such strains are also resistant to the structurally related hydroxychloroquine. This a.....

DOI: 10.31031/AICS.2020.02.000545

The COVID-19 is a new contagious viral/immunological systemic disorder with predominantly respiratory features caused by human infection with SARS-CoV-2. From the time the virus enters the body to the time of initial symptoms of the disease, it is called the incubation period which ranges from one day to fourteen days. Initial presentation in the patients with mild COVID-19 is including mild fever, dry cough, fatigue and then body ache, anosmia, and lack of taste. About 40% of patients with COVID-19 are asymptomatic and, 40%; mild, 15%; severe, and 5% are critical COVID-19. A negative SARS-CoV-2 test does not rule out the diagnosis of COVID-19 and that a positive test does not necessarily indicate a COVID-19 diagnosis. The normal lungs in HRCT scan .....

To prevent the community transmission people are used N-95 mask or simple mask. The diameter of the corona virus is 6 to 140nm. So, this mask can’t prevent entry of this virus. So, a new redesigned mask is prepared, ‘CORO-X’ for the making of the mask nanoparticles are used. Total three layers are present in this mask. First and third layer is simple filtration layer and the second layer is nano particle layer where metals like silver and copper are present. Nano particles contain more surface area compare to microparticles. Polymer adsorption properties play important role to destroy the virus.

The Spread of Coronavirus in The Air

Solomon I Khmelnik*

Integrative Journal of Conference Proceedings

The question of how the coronavirus spreads in the air is being considered. It is shown that the existing ideas about the spread of the virus as particles are unconvincing. It is shown that the coronavirus can spread as an electromagnetic wave modulated by the natural frequency of the coronavirus. Numerous analogies are pointed out. Possible methods of dealing with the pandemic are proposed, which require studying the physics of the propagation of high-frequency electromagnetic waves in the air and the interaction of organic molecules through the exchange of electromagnetic radiation.

A Potential Mechanism for Triggering Cytokine Storm in Covid-19 Patients

Harald Harald Butterweck and Alfred Weber*

COJ Biomedical Science & Research

Infection with SARS-CoV-2 can result in severe disease characterized by cytokine storm and systemic inflammation. Despite huge efforts, there is only initial evidence that the humoral immune response and particularly the development of antibodies targeting SARS-CoV-2 nucleoprotein could play a decisive role for disease severity. Here, we present the opinion that severe Covid-19 disease could be co-triggered by anti-SARS-Cov-2 nucleoprotein antibodies, which are cross-reactive with human interleukin-11 and inhibit its anti-inflammatory and tissue protective function
