What Myringoplasty Entails Myringoplasty, a surgical intervention designed to mend perforations in the eardrum, is a crucial step toward improved ear health. This intricate procedure addresses issues stemming from infections, trauma, or other ear-related conditions, promoting better hearing and preventing potential complications. For Whom is Myringoplasty Recommended? Myringoplasty is typically advised for individuals grappling with persistent ear infections, hearing impairment, or recurrent middle ear challenges.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes Covid-19 infection in humans is thought to be primarily a respiratory virus. However, it is seen to affect many other organs besides the lungs. The SARS-CoV-2 virus has a spike protein that attaches itself to ACE-2 receptors in the human body. ACE-2 receptors are plentiful in the human body. They are primarily found in the lungs, heart, blood vessels, kidneys, liver, and the gastrointestinal tract. So it is very likely that apart from the lungs any other organ that has the ACE-2 receptors can be infected and damaged by the virus. Though the disease causes mild symptoms in most of the affected individuals, some go on to have long-term side effects from the illness - the 'long haulers.' From patients who have recovered from Covid we are learning of disease sequelae that go much beyond the lungs. The BMJ (British Medical Journal, April 2021) published a research paper with the following objective- "To evaluate the excess risk and relati...

There is an intense amount of research but there is no definite breakthrough. Molecules to treat diseases take years of testing - Lab, Animal studies, Human trials before they are declared to be fit for human use. The suddenness and the severity of the Coronavirus has given us very little time to develop a new molecule. In this situation various treatments which were successful against Viruses of a similar nature in the past are being tried out - a process called "Repurposing" - a strategy for off label use of known drugs. To understand treatment strategies for Covid-19 we must break the disease into its stages - because treatment is different at each stage. Asymptomatic and Pre Symptomatic patients The good news is that in a large majority of patients there are no symptoms. Apart f...
