08.19. A study calculates the chances of contracting the coronavirus on a train
A study carried out by scientists at the University of Southampton (United Kingdom) has examined the possibilities of contracting the coronavirus in a train car transporting an infected person. Based on China's high-speed routes, the researchers found that for train passengers seated within three rows (across) and five columns (across) of an infected person (index patient), between zero and 10% (10.3) contracted the disease. The average transmission rate for these travelers was 0.32%.
The study, in collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Chinese Academy of Electronics and Information Technology and the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, also showed that passengers traveling in seats directly adjacent to an infected person suffered from the highest level of transmission, with an average 3.5% contraction of the disease. For those sitting in the same row, the figure was 1.5%.
07.25. A study reveals that more than half of the patients recovered from coronavirus have developed neurological damage
A study from Fudan University in China, published in The Lancet magazine, has revealed that some of the symptoms suffered by coronavirus patients , such as headaches, dizziness, lack of taste and smell, or disorientation , which persist months after the infection has passed, are produced by an inflammation of the gray matter of the brain. The study is the first to analyze the neurological damage caused by the coronavirus .
55% of the 60 recovered Covid-19 patients who participated in the study showed statistically higher volumes than uninfected volunteers in various parts of the brain and "no significant difference was observed between the groups that had experienced severe disease and not serious. " The researchers analyzed the brains of the participants using magnetic resonance imaging and appreciated the increase in volume of some areas in the patients recovered from coronavirus. "The findings of the study reveal a possible disruption of the microstructural and functional integrity of the brain in the recovery phases of COVID-19, suggesting that SARS-CoV-2 may have long-term consequences," the study states.
