China doubles down on their spin that Covid-19 virus did not originate in China and entered country in contaminated imports. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...as-who-investigation-looms-idUSKBN29A0LUsample quote An Italian study showed that COVID-19 might have been in Europe several months before China’s first official case. Chinese state media used the paper to support theories that COVID-19 originated overseas and entered China via contaminated frozen food or foreign athletes competing at the World Military Games in Wuhan in October 2019. end quote

Unusual treatment. Stem cells from a baby’s umbilical cord blood can help severe Covid patients recover. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-01-infusion-covid-severe-cases.htmlsample quote It was a double-blind study. Doctors and patients didn't know what was infused," Dr. Ricordi said. "Two infusions of 100 million stem cells were delivered within three days, for a total of 200 million cells in each subject in the treatment group." Researchers found the treatment was safe, with no infusion-related serious adverse events. Patient survival at one month was 91% in the stem cell treated group versus 42% in the control group. Among patients younger than 85 years old, 100% of those treated with mesenchymal stem cells survived at one month. Dr. Ricordi and colleagues also found time to recovery was faster among those in the treatment arm. More than half of patients treated with mesenchymal stem cell infusions recovered and went home from the hospital within two weeks after the last treatment. More than 80% of the treatment group recovered by day 30, versus less than 37% in the control group. end quote

Slightly off topic Simple no equipment needed 11 minute long exercises improve fitness https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-01-basics-simple-time-efficient-boost.htmlsample quote The exercises included simple calisthenics such as running in place, modified burpees and squat jumps. Participants performed the activities at a self-selected "challenging" pace, interspersed with light active recovery periods. The 11-minute routine, which included a brief warm-up, does not demand extraordinarily high levels of motivation or "all out" efforts, which are common to many intense interval training approaches. After six weeks of training, three times per week, cardiorespiratory fitness was higher than in a control group that did not exercise. end quote

newly devised 5 minute Covid-19 test could also be used for other illnesses https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-01-covid-rna-accurate-results-minutes.htmlsample quote The method was developed to reduce time and increase throughput in COVID-19 testing. However the technique could be applied to any RNA-based infectious agent or disease biomarker (including cancer), so in the long-term, the use of RTF-EXPAR is expected to extend beyond SARS-CoV-2. end quote

Lord...Please help this thread go away with the virus... Although since the 24th there have been 1200 views I will take that as a request not to post anymore. That will save me some work. I will still be reading the medical abstracts about Dementia every day like I have done for years, and reading Covid stuff intermixed but anyone also interested now knows from these posts what websites to read. Don’t get infected if you can avoid it, don’t let it give you a stroke. Good luck.

Keep them coming 360. My RN Wife and I like to keep up to date on the Covid research. The stuff you have been posting is appreciated by some here. I agree. While we are all sick of hearing about COVID and living life differently, I find these posts informative, and helpful . Thanks so much for posting 360 !

My son inlaw got the shot the other day and he said he only has a sore arm in the injected area. My wife (an MD) is hearing anecdotal experiences that the second shot triggers more general discomfort than the initial one. - Art

Last week I made an appointment to get the first shot of the Covid-19 vaccination on Jan. 21st. I then went down to Costco Pharmacy and got the first shot of the second generation Shingles vaccination called Shingrix ($159) to get it done well ahead of the Covid-19 shot. That night I did not sleep well and the next day my whole body felt achy. I felt hot like I was running a fever but the thermometer read my normal 97.0 F. The second night after I slept better and the third day I felt normal again. I always take a longer than normal walk the day before and then right fter a vaccination, a long enough walk to distinctly feel tired. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-01-depression-stress-dampen-efficacy-covid-.htmlsample quote Based on prior research, one strategy the researchers suggest is to engage in vigorous exercise and get a good night's sleep in the 24 hours before vaccination so that your immune system is operating at peak performance. This may help ensure that the best and strongest immune response happens as quickly as possible. end quote
