BLOOD PLASMA REDUCES SYMPTOMS AND FATALITIES IN OUTBREAKS OF CORONAVIRUS

by External Admin / Saturday, 05 December 2020 / Published in Blog

Blood plasma can help in decreasing the symptoms of COVID-19

The US blood donation centers are making huge efforts to collect plasma from COVID-19 patients who have recently recovered from the disease. The reason for doing this is to save the lives of the newly infected with the disease.

According to the guidelines released on Tuesday by AABB, an international nonprofit agency focused on cellular therapies and transfusion medicine. A lot of blood centers that are located nationwide can be an essential source for this old treatment method. In case you are wondering, this method is Convalescent Plasma Therapy. 

According to this treatment method, they take blood products from patients who survived this disease. Then they give these blood products to those people who are still infected. This practice has been used in the 1930s to treat measles. In the 1918s, experts practiced plasma therapy during the disastrous flu. They use this plasma therapy to treat those infected with SARS, EBOLA, and H1N1 influenza. 

Recent researches have shown that the use of plasma can offer hope and can reduce the fatalities and symptoms in the outbreaks of coronavirus. 

In the recent surge of COVID-19, non-proven evidence from china has proved that the antibody treatment helps COVID-19 patients until they are fit to develop their natural antibodies. 

This procedure is a promising one to try given that there’s no treatment or vaccine for COVID-19, experts say.

“There’s nothing else out there,” said Dr. Louis Katz, an expert in the blood industry, leading the AABB’s working group on Convalescent plasma.

The new rules came into being a week after the Federal Food and Drug Administration allowed the use of Convalescent Plasma for the people who are critically ill due to COVID-19. 

Houston Methodist Hospital is among the first medical centers to use this therapy. One good thing about this is that two COVID-19 patients have recovered due to this therapy since Saturday. 

Looking at the recent recoveries, the New York blood center has also started to collect the plasma from the patients who have recovered. Besides this, the American Red Cross has also organized a site that will collect information about the potential plasma donors. 

A new rollout can also develop the practice exponentially because the AABB has joined the efforts with America’s Blood Centers. 

“This is all the medicine on the fly, right?” we don’t have randomized controlled trials. We’re going to do our best that we can,” said Katz.

At various community blood centers, they have changed the method of collecting plasma. Here, they will collect the plasma from COVID-19 survivor donors. This will be confirmed with a lab test. According to the guidelines, the donors must test negative and should stop experiencing symptoms for 28 days. 

Numerous research medical companies are trying daily to detect antibodies that are fighting the virus. It may seem challenging for the blood centers at first. 

This collection will make a great change in the amount of plasma that is being collected from COVID-19 survivors. 

“We can go the whole hog, now that we have such an accommodating stance from the agency,” said Katz. 

Felberbaum noted that the requirement to transfuse convalescent plasma into patients is an authorization of the new drug or e-IND. FDA has granted a lot of requests for emergency INDs. 

Another blood center, the Seattle-area blood center is working tirelessly alongside the University of Washington to harvest plasma from recovered victims of COVID-19. The donations people make here will become a major part of a research study co-led by a professional professor, Dr. Terry Gernsheimer, at UW school of medicine.

🙏 I Give thanks to the source that create life 🙏 I Give thanks to the source that create life ....see a sun set or see a sun rise ,see my son born with the same eyes
To see my son smile, brighten every grey sky he’s  growing so fast, that's why everyday I give it  a 100
Praise the Almighty, the Father annoint me !
Lets open some sh@t Lets open some sh@t
🇨🇺🇨🇺 Te confieso que nunca he sido un 🇨🇺🇨🇺 Te confieso que nunca he sido un gran patriota 🤷‍♂️ ...Escape de mi pais muy joven y nunca mire hacia atras .Con el paso de los años se me hace cada vez mas dificil encontrar razones para sentirme orgulloso de la tierra en que  naci o de los que en ella nacimos .. Sin embargo anoche mirando en netflix la tremenda serie “ The Queen’s Gambit” Mi orgullo nacional ,que creia deceso ,ha resuscitado ....

Asi es la historia : cuando niño  en la Habana del Este el “Juego Ciencia” fue una de mis primeras grandes pasiones . Instigado por Silvio Rico padre e hijo . En la Cuba comunista ,como  decia Carlos Varela ,no teniamos super heroes ...🎼🎼”No tuve Superman sino Elpidio Valdes” ...y en nuestro caso ...Jose Raul Capablanca y Graupera 🇨🇺🇨🇺 🙏🙏El Cubanito que destruia campeones Europeos como si fuesen niños de primaria . 
Mi superheroe , mi idolo 
El unico campeon mundial de raza hispana ...El natural ,el elegido de los dioses ,el que nunca tuvo educacion ni estudio el juego ..En mi opinion la figura menos apreciada no solo en Cuba sino en toda America Latina 
No hay duda que los  norteamericanos realizadores de la serie hicieron un esfuerzo por honrar la figura del Cubano . Virtualmente en todos los capitulos se le rinde un homenaje ..La heroina “Elizabeth Harmon”  esta basada,no en poca medida, en  Jose Raul , ...El conflicto personal ,temperamento, la agresividad para desmoralizar al oponente , la actitud irreverente ,la creatividad ..Me erizo como en cada capitulo se le rinde un Homenaje ... 
Cubanos que me escuchan ..No dejen de ver la serie , le ronca los cojones ,si algun merito tenemos se llamo Jose Raul Capablanca ..Me despido con el epitafio  de su Archi oponente ..El gran Emmanuel Lasker “ I have known many chess players, but only one chess genius “  Viva Cuba 🇨🇺
