Merck, an international pharmaceutical company, has developed a capsule to protect against the corona virus and its contagious disease, Covid 19, while reducing the severity of the disease in hospitals. In the second phase of clinical trials, the capsule has been successfully tested in 775 volunteers from the United States and other countries who were infected with the corona virus. All volunteers This capsule was given twice a day, for five consecutive days. None of the volunteers who used it reached the hospital or died of the corona virus.
The capsule is also effective against the delta variant of the corona virus, which is currently the leading cause of the Covid 19 global pandemic, according to a Merck & Co. press release. The FDA has also been asked to approve the capsules on an emergency basis. On the other hand, a large number of Asian countries have made advance bookings for the capsules so that they would be quick to respond to the outbreak. Other coronavirus pills and capsules are being worked on by various agencies, and it is hoped that by the end of this year, we will not only have enough vaccines to fight the Covid 19 epidemic, but also the disease. Defeat capsules and tablets will also be available.

At least 26 people have died due to corona virus, bringing the death toll to 28,058. The number of confirmed cases of Corona in Pakistan has increased to 12,056,233.

One crore 97 lakh 82 thousand 491 people were tested, 45 thousand 619 new tests were done in the last 24 hours, so far 11 lakh 84 thousand 527 patients have recovered while the condition of 2 thousand 761 patients is critical. The death toll from the virus rose to 28,058, with 26 people dying in one day Done. 12,757 in Punjab, 7,474 in Sindh, 5,623 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 930 in Islamabad, 349 in Balochistan, 186 in Gilgit-Baltistan and 739 in Azad Kashmir.

Children’s sense of humor reflects their high IQ and intelligence. Is.
A study was conducted in Turkey, the details of which were published in the research journal Humor. According to the report, only the clown children in the classroom are actually more intelligent than the adults and thus there is a deep connection between intelligence and sense of humor in children.
In human history, sense of humor has been termed as high intelligence because the expression of eloquent sentences indicates intelligence and present mind. Similar research has been done in adults before, but for the first time, its effects on children have been discovered.
In this regard, each of the 200 children was given ten cards in which cartoons were drawn. All children were asked to write a funny sentence or title while looking at it. After that, seven different experts categorized these sentences and gave first, second, third and other ranks to the written subject.
After that, standard IQ tests of all the children were also taken. When the intelligence and sense of humor in the children was examined, it was found that the children who had high sense of humor also had high level of intelligence. A clear link between intelligence and sense of humor was found in 68% of the children. Humor was especially prevalent among children who were well versed in general knowledge and verbal reasoning.
However, Turkish experts believe that the definition of humor varies from society to society. Jokes from one region may not be for people in another. This is because the sense of humor has to do with society, customs and values. That is why such studies have been done in western countries but now this research has been done in Turkey which is the confluence of east and west.
Uyghur Psyche, a professor at Anatolia University, is its main supervisor, who says that children try to intimidate adults with a sense of humor, but it is now known that it also has a deep connection with intelligence.

 In the world, on the one hand, there is the rule of malnutrition, on the other hand, overeating is giving rise to obesity. More than a dozen genes have now been identified that directly increase or even prevent the scourge of obesity.
Scientists at the University of Virginia have identified 14 genes that directly lead to fat and fattening, but have also found three genes that can be used to stave off obesity itself. Robert M. Burney’s experts have done this important work. They have identified 14 genes that are a direct cause of obesity. Experts wrote, “We are ‘seemingly aware’ of hundreds of genes that can cause obesity and other diseases in individuals.” But this does not mean that they are the cause of the disease. Now in this research we have tried to eliminate this uncertainty. For this, a ‘pipeline’ system was built to automatically test hundreds of genes. In this regard, several genes came to light on which further research could play an important role in the treatment or prevention of obesity. According to experts, excess calories. Food, Inactivity, lack of exercise and a complex system of thanksgiving all contribute to obesity. But the role of genes in them is important, which keeps the body fat and people are fat. These insects grow and thrive in rotten fruit. Research on insects has paved the way for the treatment of human diseases and has been awarded the Nobel Prize. We have also injected our new drug into the insects, which science itself acknowledges. For genetic research, the insects were made into a training board in which 293 genes were first selected and 14 of them were isolated with the help of machine learning. gone. One by one, these genes were inserted into insects or switched on or off. It was found that if the activity of the three genes was stopped, the worms would be protected from obesity. In some insects, neuro-localization also improved. Later on mice When the experiments were started and a gene was blocked, they stopped gaining weight and their blood sugar levels returned to normal. Thus came an important gene that could control obesity and diabetes.

Chinese and Australian scientists say that people between the ages of 35 and 44 who suffer from hypertension (hypertension) are more likely to develop dementia later in life. The risk increases. The study collected detailed health data from the UK Biobank for about 1.5 million people over a 12-year period. Examination of the brain MRI scans revealed that people who had been suffering from high blood pressure in middle age had relatively small brains. The risk of dementia was 61% higher in those with high blood pressure than in those who did not have high blood pressure at that age.
It should be noted that dementia is not the name of a single mental illness but it is the collective name of various mental disorders such as memory impairment, difficulty in thinking and difficulty in making decisions in daily routine. The most common type of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease. In a study published in the latest issue of the American Heart Association’s research journal “Hypertension”, scientists warn that serious control of high blood pressure in low and middle age is seriously important. Needed because its long-term effects can lead to serious brain problems in old age.

Depression in adolescence can lead to dementia in old age, says
research So the decline of mental capacity (cognition) in middle age or old age can be prevented.
However, adversity can also lead to dementia and dementia in old age. The study, by scientists at the University of California, San Francisco, was published in the journal Alzheimer’s Disease on September 28. Scientists have adopted an innovative approach. It looks at the prognosis in 15,000 people between the ages of 20 and 89 and the possible consequences. It was found that 6,000 elderly people were found to be suffering from depression in their youth and the risk of brain and acquired degeneration was found to be 73% higher than others.
Experts in the study also included diet, lifestyle, age, sex, nationality, education, body mass index, diabetes and smoking. Scientist Villa Brainows explains why stress causes the release of hormones called glucocorticoids, which directly damage the hippocampus, an important part of the brain. In the hippocampus, our thinking is formed, thoughts are organized and memories begin to be organized. It should be noted that in this entire study, all participants were contacted twice a year for eleven years and questionnaires were filled out for them. It can be used to diagnose the symptoms of depression, ie mild, moderate and severe. At the beginning of the research, 13 in the youth Some 26% of middle-aged people and 34% of the elderly had some degree of depression. Of these, 1277 people were found to be suffering from some degree of mental retardation. Therefore, it is important that if depression is reduced today, it can prevent dementia in old age.

If you want to lower your cholesterol, eat grapes! More recent research has found that grapefruit, grape juice, or ‘phenol’ compounds derived from grapes, in addition to antioxidants, are effective against germs and viruses. Performed by Dr. Xiaoping and his colleagues in Los Angeles, California. During the first four weeks, all volunteers were placed on a low-polyphenol diet, followed by a dry diet for the next four weeks. Only 46 grams of grapefruit powder was added daily. This amount of grapefruit juice was equivalent to 252 grams of fresh grapes.
Los Angeles: American medical experts have discovered that eating just one pound (252 grams) of grapes or raisins a day lowers harmful cholesterol in the body. After the discovery which lasted for 8 weeks. Volunteers ranged in age from 18 to 55. The medical benefits of grapes have been known to us for centuries, while modern scientific research has shown that they contain a variety of beneficial plant compounds, ie phytochemicals, including catechins. , Pro Anthocyanidins, Anthocyanins, Leuko Anthocyanidins, Quercetin, Campferol, Stalbins, Allergic Acids and Hydrosanamites. In addition, grapes are rich in dietary fiber.

Before and after the study began, all volunteers underwent cholesterol and bile acids (bile acids) as well as their microbiome in their stomachs. After consuming 46 grams of grapefruit powder daily, the total cholesterol in these volunteers was reduced by 6.1% while the unhealthy cholesterol (LDL) was reduced by 5.9%. There was an increase in the number of germs which was undoubtedly good news. Among them there was an increase in a type of germs called “acarmenasia” which helps in breaking down and digesting glucose and fats while the lining of the intestines. The amount of bile acids that affect the digestion of cholesterol is also 40 at the end of the study.9% less is seen which is a sign of better health. “We have discovered the beneficial effects of grapes on stomach germs which is a great thing, because keeping the stomach healthy is very important for good health,” said Dr. Lee said.
Note: Details of this research are published in the latest issue of the online research journal “Nutrients”.
