convolascent plasma therapy for cornonavirus

Hello guys!

 The elevating cases of corona in the world forced researchers to discover antibiotics.  scientists experimenting and researching continuously to develop vaccines or therapy that may help to beat the corona crisis.

So, one of the therapies that doctors believe to experiment on patients is plasma therapy. Plasma is a watery fluid of the blood. This plasma is consists of corpuscles and thrombocytes in addition to that plasma also contains some proteins (immunoglobulin) which produce antibodies.
Our body works on the principle of the immune system. The basic principle of the immune system is that it forms antibodies against any foreign antigen that enters the body. Our immune system memorizes this antigen and this is called the primary response. If the second time again this same antigen comes into the body by any means then our antibody recognizes it and neutralizes this foreign antigen.  This principle is becoming helpful for experimenting against coronavirus.

If any person recovered from this virus then the plasma of that person can be used to fight against this virus. These antibodies can be used to treat more patients who are suffering from this virus. The antibody memorizes this foreign antigen and neutralizes the virus. In this way, we could save multiple person' life suffered from covid-19.

Past history of this therapy - 
  • This therapy is recommended by the WHO in treating the Ebola virus.
  • In 2015, this therapy is used in treating middle East respiratory disease which is also caused due to coronavirus
  • At the time of the Spanish flu, this therapy was used experimentally.
  • At the time of SARS, this therapy showed a good effect. 
Plasma therapy in present - Convalescent plasma therapy is explored by China and try it on some patients and they revealed that the patient showing improvement in recovery was noticed and all of them later on discharged. This exploration was published by China in the Journal of American Medical Association. 
However, this process in under trial as the research utters that there is some unknown right that needs to resolve out like in what quantity doses will work as antibodies? At what stage of illness it will be given to the patient? Are some reasons that will need to be addressed.

Sycon Canal System With Diagram

                                     Canal system in Sycon  A sea creature called a sycon, or scypha , is usually found clinging to rocks or other surfaces. These creatures have tube-shaped bodies that open outward with the help of a hole called an Osculum . They have tiny openings called Spiracles and Ostia all over their bodies to let water in. This water flows through canals inside their bodies and comes out through the Osculum, which is a larger opening used for breathing. We'll observe the shape of this canal system, why it is essential for those animals, type of canal system , and  its significance. The Sycon Type Canal system is the unique feature of the phylum Porifera . This system is also known as the  aquiferous canal system . This system supports the significant function of the body like nutrition, respiration, excretion, etc. History Overview -  Gran...

Whittaker's Five Kingdom Classification | Biology Blog

                                   Five Kingdom Classification Early biologists classified all species as either plants or animals. Since this method makes it difficult to research specific creatures, American taxonomist R.H. Whittaker created the five-kingdom classification in 1969. This system divides all organisms into groups based on how they are organized and how they are fed. Important standards for this classification include - The complexity of cell structure i.e. Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic. The complexity of the Organisms body is Unicellular and Multicellular. Mode of nutrition Autotrophs and Heterotrophs. Lifestyle. Phylogenetic Relationship. Based on these criteria, Whittaker classified the living world into the following categories  - Kingdom Monera                 Kingdom Protista Kingdom Fungi Kingdom Animalia Ki...

Aurelia Aurita Life Cycle: Characterstics, Classification

                                             Aurelia  Aurelia aurita is a type of zooplankton found all over the world. They are see-through and don't have eyes, brains, or hearts. They're usually between 2 to 15 inches wide. Even though they prefer being alone, they get carried together in groups called Blooms by wind and water currents. At night, they look like they're moving through the water like jellyfish, which is why they're sometimes called " jellyfish ".  They have four reproductive organs surrounded by tentacles in their top part. Their body color changes based on what they eat, so they can be blue, pink, or other colors. Let's learn more about Aurelia in detail. Details Of Aurelia Diagram -  Body : The center of the diagram would display the jellyfish's bell-shaped body, often called the " umbrella. " Tentacles : Below the bell, you'd see lon...
