New Study Found Coronavirus Can Attack 21 Different Regions Of The Brain
According to a new study on the gateway receptor of the Covid-19, a wide variety of symptoms and organs may be involved with the SARS-CoV-2 infection. The findings were published in the journal Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology.But Firstly Lets Know what is corona virus .
What Is Corona Virus ?
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. Most people who fall sick with COVID-19 will experience mild to moderate symptoms and recover without special treatment.
How Does It Spreads ?
The virus that causes COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or exhales. These droplets are too heavy to hang in the air, and quickly fall on floors or surfaces. You can be infected by breathing in the virus if you are within close proximity of someone who has COVID-19, or by touching a contaminated surface and then your eyes, nose or mouth.
Is There Any Vaccine Available For This Virus ?
While some western, traditional or home remedies may provide comfort and alleviate symptoms of mild COVID-19, there are no medicines that have been shown to prevent or cure the disease. WHO does not recommend self-medication with any medicines, including antibiotics, as a prevention or cure for COVID-19. However, there are several ongoing clinical trials of both western and traditional medicines. WHO is coordinating efforts to develop vaccines and medicines to prevent and treat COVID-19 and will continue to provide updated information as soon as research results become available.
What Found In A New Case Study ?
The study led by Walter Lukiw, PhD, Professor of Neuroscience, Neurology, and Ophthalmology at LSU Health New Orleans’ Neuroscience Centre of Excellence and School of Medicine, suggested that a multi-organ infection with SARS-CoV-2 may be via the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor, which is found almost everywhere throughout the body.
Study On Human Tissues
For the study, the team of researchers examined 85 human tissues for the presence of ACE2 receptors. ACE2 is a protein that is found on the surface of many immune and non-immune cell types. ACE2 is an enzyme and an active part of the system that regulates blood pressure, fluid, and electrolyte balance. In the case of the coronavirus infection, ACE2 receptors act like locks on cells, and the SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins act like keys that open the locks letting the virus enter cells to rapidly multiply. It also controls tissues in the lungs, digestive, renal-excretory, reproductive, eye tissues, and 21 different regions of the brain, the study noted. Besides strong ACE2 expression in respiratory, digestive, renal-excretory, and reproductive cells, high ACE2 expression was also found in the amygdala, cerebral cortex, and brainstem. The study speculated that the infection may lead to cognitive deficits associated with SARS-CoV-2. Some of the highest ACE2 expression levels were found in the pons and medulla oblongata in the human brainstem, an anatomical region of the brain containing the medullary respiratory centres, and this may, in part, explain the susceptibility of many Covid-19 patients to severe respiratory distress. The team further noted that ACE2 receptor activity was also easily detected in the eye, suggesting that the visual system may provide an additional entry point for the SARS-CoV-2 invasion. The study revealed that eyeglasses or face shields may be as important as face masks in reducing SARS-CoV-2 transmission and infection.
What Does Dr.Lukiw Said ?
Dr Lukiw said in a statement: “Several important research gaps remain. A real danger of SARS-CoV-2 infection is not only its highly transmissible and contagious nature and lethality, but also its simultaneous and multipronged attack on many human cell and tissue types involving vital and critical respiratory, immunological, vascular, renal-excretory and neural systems as well as an unprecedented coordinated disruption of the complex neurophysiology, neurochemistry, neurobiology and neurology of the cells of the brain and central nervous system (CNS) that normally regulate these multiple physiological systems.”

Bigg Boss 18: Vivian Dsena claimed it was Chahat Pandey who did not clean the toilet after using it. Chahat denied it and schooled him for spreading lies.
Bigg Boss 18: Another day in the Bigg Boss house, and another fight broke out between two contestants.

Vivian reveals Chahat has unhygienic habits
In the new promo shared by the makers, Vivian was seen telling Alice about Chahat’s habits. Vivian said that Chaahat had used the washroom and was the last to leave. He said that the poop was lying around even on the floor and the toilet seat was not flushed. It was Karan Veer who cleaned the mess.
‘Mere upar jhootha ilzaam lagaana mat’
Alice then told Chahat about the washroom situation. Chahat denied the accusations and said that she only took the shower and left without using the toilet. Next, she was seen in the kitchen area, where she called out Vivian for making baseless accusations at her. She said, “Gandagi khud failao aur mera naam laga do! Itne guts ho na directly baat kiya karo. Log le jaake mat pucha karo. Mere upar jhootha ilzaam lagaana mat Vivian Dsena. Jhootha insaan (You do all this and blame it on me. If you have guts then tell me directly. Don’t ask people. Don’t make false accusations Vivian. Liar)!”
Fans commented on the post, and seemed to take the side of Vivian. “Chahat we know you are right and he’s unnecessarily targeting you since day 1,” said a fan. Another said, “Just to make Chahat look bad how can someone say these things, he’s been bullying her since day 1, Vivian is lying it is so clear and he wants to show Chahat as the negative one. I support chahat here.”
