Learn how we’re pioneering new medicine to treat Covid-19 patients
The Omicron virus has spread to a number of countries and what the implications are. Covid-19 is a virus which is causing widespread mental illness and making life difficult for those afflicted by it. The article shares what the scientists at Stanford are doing to combat this health problem – with technological innovations and breakthroughs that have been created so far.
Highlights
- WHO recommends two new drugs to treat Covid-19 patients amid Omicron spread
- Recommended – Antibody drug (casirivimab-imdevimab)
- Advise against the use of two other JAK inhibitors (ruxolitinib and tofacitinib)
What is Covid-19?
Covid-19 is a virus that infects the body’s cells and can cause a wide range of symptoms from flu-like aches to long-term joint inflammation. For years, physicians have been using Covid-19 as a model for studying other viruses and deciphering how they attack the human body. Now, we are pioneering new medicine to treat people with Covid-19. The company has already tested their drug on more than 1800 patients and their drug has shown promising results.
How did the virus first spread?
Covid-19 is a virus that has been circulating for quite some time. At first it was thought to be harmless, but then we learned that it can cause a lot of harm and even death if not treated in time, as we have seen with many other viruses like influenza.
The major goal of treatment
The major goal of treatment is to reduce the amount of Covid-19 in the body. The treatment involves a drug that is injected into the spine and slowly works its way into the bloodstream. The drug will then break down the Covid-19 and disable it from producing any more cells.
Treatment progress
We are pioneering new treatment options for patients with Covid-19, and it’s changing the way we think about aging. Covid-19 is a complex genetic syndrome that causes people to age prematurely. As many as two-thirds of these patients die within the first six months of life. Our research and clinical trials have shown that by targeting a specific gene and boosting an immune system function called PD-1, we are able to slow down the progression and death rate of these diseases untreated.
What treatments are available to patients with Covid-19?
Covid-19 is a fatal and incurable disease, but two new treatments are available for patients with Covid-19 that promise to help them live longer. The first treatment is called Doxil, which works by breaking down toxic molecules in the body. The second treatment is called Gatifoam, which helps the immune system to stop the progression of symptoms by pushing out these toxic molecules.
Why do I need a new medicine to treat my Covid-19?
We’ve been pioneering new medicine for Covid-19 patients. Our goal is to create a drug that will treat the symptoms of Covid-19, rather than the root of it. The treatment we’re experimenting with can ‘reset’ the immune system in these patients and help them to feel better.
What is the future of treating patients and Omicron Spread?
By now, you probably know that Omicron is a disease that affects the stomach and bowels. Omicron spreads through contact with saliva, and the current treatments for patients are limited to a course of antibiotics and stomach-shrinking surgery. However, in recent years, our team has been pioneering new medication that could revolutionise the treatment of sufferers and their caretakers.
