Clearing Lung Congestion From COVID-19 - Verywell Health

Image
While fever, fatigue, and a dry cough are the most common symptoms of a COVID-19 infection, you may also end up with a wet mucus-producing cough if you catch SARS-CoV-2.  Dry coughs are a more common COVID-19 symptom, but about one-third of COVID patients cough up thick mucus and experience lung congestion. This may manifest as chest pressure or heaviness in the chest, a rattling sound or feeling when breathing, and globby mucus coming up when you're coughing. Your lungs and airways start to produce extra mucus to clear out infections when you catch a virus like SARS-CoV-2. A wet, productive cough is the body's way of trying to clear this extra mucus out of the airways. This article will provide a comprehensive overview of coughing up mucus with COVID. It will review what it means if you have a productive cough, as well as what medications, home remedies, and exercises you can use to clear lung congestion. Verywell / Katie Kerpel ...

Why you should be wary of comparisons of the death tolls from the 1918 flu pandemic and COVID-19 - MinnPost

Image
This week, the number of people who have died of COVID-19 in the U.S. surpassed the 675,000 said to have died in the 1918-19 influenza pandemic. As of Wednesday morning, 675,071 people in the U.S. had died of COVID-19, according to the Centers for Disease Control; news that prompted some to proclaim COVID-19 now the deadliest pandemic in U.S. history. But there's a century of time, plus advances in technology, recordkeeping and medical treatment between 1918 and the COVID-19 pandemic that make the claim at least a little dubious. Article continues after advertisement The terrible W The influenza pandemic of 1918-19 was caused by an H1N1 strain of flu virus and was first discovered in a military facility in Kansas. It was — and still often is — misleadingly referred to as the "Spanish flu" because cases were more widely reported in Spain — neutral in World War I — as opposed to other countries that c...

The Main Causes and Mechanisms of Increase in Cardiac Troponin Concent | VHRM - Dove Medical Press

Image
Introduction Cardiac troponin T and I isoforms (cTnT and cTnI) are expressed in cardiac muscle tissue and are by far the most specific and sensitive indicators for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). 1–4 There are only a few studies that have reported the expression of cTnT and cTnI outside the myocardium, particularly in skeletal muscle, 5–7 but the results of these studies are contradictory and have not been confirmed in other research studies. 8,9 Methods for determining cTnT and cTnI, which were first developed in the late 90s of the 20th century, 10,11 have been continuously improved, increasing analytical sensitivity and specificity. This allowed to accelerate the early diagnosis of AMI and reduce the number of false-positive results due to the interaction of anti-cTnT and anti-cTnI antibodies with skeletal troponins released from muscle fibers in skeletal myopathies and rhabdomyolysis. 12–14 Nowadays, there are highly sensitive immunoassays available fo...
