  Over the last few months, researchers have been working tirelessly to find out everything possible about SARS-CoV-2. And some of the facts they have learned are quite alarming.  Doctors no longer believe that once a person tests COVID negative after being treated for this infection, he is safe.  Research studies and clinical experience have shown that COVID-19 can create havoc in your body even after it has been treated or after you have recovered from the initial bout of illness. The infection tends to produce longer-lasting effects that may worsen or show up with variable intensity in the future.  Our ‘COVID19 PANDEMIC BY EXPERTS IN THE FIELD WEBINAR’ is focused on providing information about the latest developments in COVID-19 including the short-term and long-term complications this infection can cause. You can join this webinar to stay updated about the different ways COVID-19 can create havoc in the patient’s body.  While COVID-19 is widely known to affect the lungs, there is

  Hypothermia is one of the advanced methods of treatment found to be beneficial in a large number of patients. The therapeutic role of hypothermia has been noticed in a range of health disorders including those affecting the brain, lungs, liver, and kidneys. Therapeutic hypothermia is expected to improve the survival rate of patients considerably and also support the faster recovery of patients with impaired brain or heart functions. Therapeutic hypothermia may also playa critical role in preventing the risk of mortality in patients with acute lung injury and myocardial infarction. It can buy more time for the patient and make a huge difference to the outcomes. Hypothermia may also form a vital element in the life-saving processes for patients with medical emergencies. During hypothermia, the body temperature of the patient is reduced to about 93-degree Fahrenheit. The temperature is maintained for 24 hours. This approach would decrease inflammation in the affected tissues a
