International Volunteer Day

Image
 Every year on December 5th, the world celebrates International Volunteer Day, a moment that reminds us of the importance of volunteer work and its vital role in building communities and enhancing human values. Volunteering is not just a fleeting act; it is a long-term commitment to improving the lives of others and contributing to community development. Volunteering reflects the values of giving, cooperation, and participation. It is an act carried out by individuals of all ages and backgrounds who dedicate their time and skills to serve others without expecting monetary compensation. In a world filled with challenges, volunteering becomes a means to strengthen social bonds and build a cohesive community. Research shows that volunteer work benefits both volunteers and the communities they serve. For volunteers, participating in volunteer activities enhances mental health, as they feel happiness and satisfaction when helping others. These experiences also contribute to the developm...

coronavirus ‎second ‎wave

Image
In the last period, we noticed a significant increase in the number of Coronavirus infections with the onset of winter, that is, the start of a second wave, although the World Health Organization stated that the virus spreads in only one wave, i.e. the return of the pandemic, after we witnessed a sharp decrease in the number of infections months ago. Breaking the ban, the return of life in some countries to its natural form, in addition to the people's disdain for safety measures and social distancing have all led to the spread of the second wave, which is expected to be more fierce than the first. We cannot predict how long the number of casualties will continue to increase because it depends on the quarantine measures used by the state and the extent of citizens' commitment to them. old weather, the influenza virus competes with the Corona virus to infect the most vulnerable groups of people and weakens it, so the result is a person infected with influenza only or...

The new Corona virus vaccine will be in the form of pills to be an oral vaccine ‏

Image
The new Corona virus vaccine will be in the form of pills to be an oral vaccine, by next June. The human clinical trial step is only the first stage in developing a vaccine, and there is no guarantee of success, and even if it succeeds, it may take a year or more before its use is allowed. Oral vaccines are an option being evaluated for second-generation vaccines, which are designed to be more scalable, easier to administer, and simpler to distribute and the oral vaccine can enable people to take the vaccine by themselves at home. But it may also be of value in people with severe phobia of needles and it may be easier and faster to administer it. " Oral vaccines can also offer other benefits over arm vaccinations. The thing about systemic vaccines (injections into the arms) is that they are generally very good at preventing severe diseases, but they are often not good at preventing infection. " The theory is that since infection first occurs in the nose and throat...

why ‎is ‎the ‎second ‎dose ‎of ‎Corona ‎vaccine ‎more ‎difficult ‎than ‎the ‎first ‎

The second dose is more painful It has become known that people who receive the second dose of the Corona vaccine, suffer more severe side effects than those that occur after taking the first dose. The question is: Why? The American news site wgno says that the side effects that occur after receiving the second dose include fatigue, headache, chills, fever, nausea, and muscle pain. There is a simple explanation for the higher side effects while taking the second dose. The vast majority of vaccines approved by countries of the world so far consist of two doses, with an average interval of 3 weeks, with the exception of the "Johnson & Johnson" vaccine, which consists of a single dose. That the body after the first dose begins to build the first immune response, including antibodies. And with the second dose, the body's immune system begins to react, according to Grino, who says that once the immune system knows about the vaccine (after the second dose), it w...

why ‎the ‎second ‎dose ‎of ‎Corona ‎vaccine ‎is ‎very ‎important ‎

Image
You must obtain the Corona vaccine, with its two doses, to counter the virus Doctors emphasized the necessity to obtain a second dose of any two-dose vaccine. The importance of the second dose of vaccines, which is obtained in two doses, is due to the fact that it is the dose that gives an effective boost to the immune system so that the antibody response, as well as the response of mesenchymal T cells, is very strong. In addition to that, the second dose also develops the memory response, which in turn makes the effect of the vaccine last for a long time, since when the body detects this antigen or viral protein again, it knows that it needs to respond quickly. There are a lot of vaccines in development now, and each is given in slightly different dosage schedules. Most vaccines are developed into at least two doses, but there are some single-dose candidate vaccines as well. That the two doses of the vaccine are currently given during a period ranging between 3...

children ‎and ‎Corona ‎virus vaccines

Image
Doctors and researchers have confirmed that all vaccines against the emerging corona virus, which have been developed so far, have been clinically tested on adults over the age of 18 years, and for this reason, children less than this age have not yet been allowed to receive current vaccine doses until the procedures are taken. Clinical tests, expected to start soon. These steps are usually followed in clinical tests, where they start with adult volunteers, because in the event of an unexpected side effect that scientists do not know about, children cannot be the first to be exposed. As for the elderly and chronic diseases Since Covid-19 is a more severe and deadly disease in the elderly, all developers have taken care to include the elderly and people with chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease. Consequently, approvals were issued to vaccinate adults, the elderly and people with chronic diseases, after clinical tests confirmed that they ar...

Corona covid19 ‎and ‎mental ‎health ‎

Whether the symptoms are mild or serious, the risk of developing a group of mental illnesses increases. Although the phenomenon appears to remain rare for symptoms such as psychotic episodes, of which cases have been reported in the United States in particular, it is more common for other mental illnesses. The rates of injuries vary from one study to another. The latest study was published on January 8 in the "The Lancet" medical journal, and included 1,700 patients in Wuhan (the first epicenter of the epidemic in China). It showed that six months after their admission to hospital, 75 percent of patients still had at least one symptom of the disease, and most of them complained of muscle fatigue or weakness, but about a quarter of them reported disturbed sleep, anxiety or depression A branch of research known as "immunological psychiatry" is working to demonstrate this link between disease, inflammation and mental disorders. The psychiatr...
