India logs 172,433 new Covid-19 cases, daily tally 6.84% higher than Wednesday

India recorded 1,72,433 infections in the past 24 hours, with the country’s daily Covid-19 count rising slightly on Thursday, according to data released by the Union Health Ministry. This is 6.84% higher than the 161,386 infections recorded in the country on Wednesday. The country also recorded 1,008 deaths in the past 24 hours, according to the health ministry announcement.

The total death toll now stands at 498,983, with the national total jumping to 41,803,318, according to the Ministry of Health. The sharp rise in the daily death toll is due to an increase in the backlog of deaths in Kerala.

The southern state reported 500 deaths on Wednesday, according to a state release. 29 deaths were reported in the past 24 hours, 136 were deaths that occurred in recent days but were not recorded due to late receipt of documents, and 335 were designated Covid-19 after receiving an appeal under the new guidelines. 19 dead PTI cited official releases, the center and the Supreme Court’s instructions.

The number of active cases was 15,33,921, or 3.67% of the total number of cases. The data also showed a daily positivity rate of 10.99%.

Covid infection linked to more type 1 diabetes in kids and teens: Study

Two studies that did not definitively resolve the question of whether the coronavirus can cause the chronic disease of diabetes found that Covid-19 in children and adolescents appeared to increase the chance of acquiring diabetes. Over two years after the pandemic’s commencement, researchers from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health looked at new type 1 diabetes diagnoses using national health registries. They discovered that type 1 diabetes was roughly 60% more likely to develop in children who had tested positive for the coronavirus.

The risk within 30 days of a Covid infection confirmed by a PCR test was examined by the researchers. Young adults were also included in a Scottish study that was presented at the European Link for the Study of Diabetes meeting. This study indicated an increased risk one month following the viral sickness, but the researchers said they discovered no association after that point.

The authors of both studies emphasised that their findings do not necessarily imply a causal link between diabetes and the coronavirus. Other potential causes were emphasised, such as delays in seeking medical attention during the epidemic, the introduction of other diseases, and alterations in way of life brought on by lockdowns.

Jamie Hartmann-Boyce, an associate professor at the Nuffield department of primary care health sciences at the University of Oxford, stated: “There are a lot of plausible reasons that Covid-19 might lead to development of type 1 diabetes, but this remains in no way proved.”
According to a paper earlier this week in the medical journal The Lancet, the number of people with type 1 diabetes, in which the pancreas fails to generate the hormone insulin, may increase from 8.4 million to 17.4 million by the year 2040.

The illness, which has no known treatment and is most frequently diagnosed in children, is thought to be caused by a combination of genetics and exposure to particular pathogens, including SARS-Cov-2 as well as a larger family of viruses known as enteroviruses. Type 2 diabetes, which is more prevalent, typically appears later in life as sedentary habits and weight increase mess with the body’s ability to manage sugar.
