...And finally 2021 is rising with the news of corona vaccine approval in India. The most awaited moment has been arrived. The dangerous 2020 slapped us from every aspect including health, economy, social life and mental stability. 2020 tested us from the bottom and here we are at the edge of 2021. All those who survived this difficult time are the warriors according to Darwin's principle 'The Survival of Fittest'.  But still the fittest testing is on. The audition for the best human being is still continue.   Now it's time for vaccine administration. The hope and courage our scientists have been showing should not be wasted by our irresponsible acts. Corona virus was an unsolved question just before some months and now we are gradually getting rid of it. We have so many doubts in our minds and the same doubts have been arised from the vaccine arrival.   We knew nothing about vaccine. That leads us to guess various ideas about its composition, its efficacy and i...

Our vocabulary has been enriched in 2020. In first half of this year we went through 'quarantine', 'lockdown', 'plasma therapy' like words and now in second half we are encountering the words like 'herd immunity', ' clinical trial', 'corona vaccine' etc. In these 2020 dictionary one more word should be added and that is 'vaccine nationalism'. Courtesy: Jakarata Post This word is neither patriotic nor scientific. It is a straight indicator of a race towards vaccine. World is waiting for the antidote of this global pandemic and the vaccine is considered as a solution of this problem atleast. In the beginning of 2020 when corona virus has started spreading all over the world, every country was confused and trying to get help globally. Such countries started talking on helping hand philosophy and what else you can do when you're helpless? But silently developed countries put another hand on vaccine development. Scientists from all...

  Infection from the hospital premises during hospital stay or visit is considered as a hospital acquired infection. Nosocomial infection is the medical term which is used for hospital acquired infection. The word "nosocomial" is made up of two Greek words. The prefix "noso-" comes from "nosus" meaning disease and "-comial" comes from "komeion" meaning to take care of. Nosocomial could therefore refer to any affliction acquired by a patient while under medical supervision. It now refers more narrowly to a hospital-acquired infection. The most important parameter of hospital is nosocomial infection rate. This rate decides the quality of services provided by the hospital authorities. We know that this hallmark metric of quality do not just reveal a number but the essence of the preventive care by the hospital itself. To serve the biggest population while controlling the infections all around the premises is the challenging work in India, ...

Recently 19 year old girl was thrown out of the bus in UP after the passengers in bus supposed her Covid19 positive by symptoms. Though she wasn't tested positive yet, the driver and the conductor stopped the bus and pulled her out on the midway. Her mother pleaded a lot to them but they weren't convinced. Just after 30 minutes the girl died on the road. Postmortem report stated it 'cardiac arrest' and dead person was not tested for Covid19 as per policy.  Here the question is not either she was Covid19 positive or negetive, but the way she was humiliated by the passengers is the big issue rising day by day. The people on bus shouldn't do so even if she was Covid19 positive. The things happening all around after this pandemic put us on the edge of the bay. Misconceptions are emerging as a big enemy after this pandemic. Even WHO is also serious on this matter and trying to stop this infodemic.

Once upon a time there were lots of magic molecules around us to combat bacterial infections. They were totally used to defend us from mild to sevear infections. After sometimes these molecular options were narrowed day by day. Now this decade is going to threat us by snatching our magic molecules from us. Just like an Iron mam without his AI suit our strength against infections will be reduced to more than half. The antibiotic resistance is spreading all over the world and most of bacterial cells are boosting their own immunity to be superbugs. We are aware of the the horror show with antibiotic resistance . Corona virus pandemic has accelerated this resistance in short time. The door was already opened for superbugs is now widen by this novel virus. Corona virus has emerged as a best friend of bacteria now a days. How is corona triggering antibiotic resistance? As we all know very well Corona is a viral disease and antibiotics don't work on it. But that is just a half truth. Actu...
