Antibody-based COVID-19 Drug developed by South Korean Scientists may Come Soon

Antibody-based COVID-19 Drug developed by South Korean Scientists may be ready sooner than expected

According to foreign media BGR reports, doctors have been using various therapies to treat COVID-19, trying to prevent complications and treat symptoms. However, there are currently no specific drugs for new coronaviruses, which explains why you keep hearing about treatments that may work for some patients but fail for others. 

Medical experts are conducting some research to see which drugs have the opportunity to improve the prognosis of COVID-19. The vaccine will eventually be the only way to prevent infection and hope to eradicate the disease, but we have to wait another 18 months to get the vaccine. Prior to this, South Korea may have an antibody-based COVID-19 drug.

Immune System Produces Antibodies dealing with COVID19

The immune system produces antibodies to deal with every pathogen that enters the body. This explains why some patients with COVID-19 do not even show symptoms. Their immune response is so good that the virus is eliminated. 
These patients can donate plasma containing this antibody to other patients, allowing them to recover faster. This is currently the only known treatment for COVID-19 and the only known treatment that works well. This method can be used for any infectious disease.

Coronavirus COVID19 Antibody Based Drug Coming Up from South Korea simulation

Pilot project Testing Amount of antibodies in Plasma

However, the whole process is slow. You must find a donor that matches the patient, and you must test the antibody. In New York, a pilot project is also testing the amount of antibodies in plasma. Other countries have similar projects. In an unusual case of COVID-19 in China, a person infected for 49 days got the antibody and recovered.

South Korea hopes to develop Antibody-based COVID-19 Drug 

South Korea hopes to develop an antibody-based drug, which may be ready by next year. According to the Korea Times, South Korea will begin testing an antibody-based drug for COVID-19 within the year. The synthesis of such a drug for the treatment of COVID-19 may be a key development that can help us to gain more time until the vaccines are launched worldwide.

The report also revealed that South Korea collected a large number of blood samples from people infected with the virus and will use them for antibody drug tests later this year. South Korea also plans to use the plasma of recovered patients to treat other patients in the next two or three months. South Korea is expected to launch the vaccine by the end of 2021 or 2022.

South Korea Successfully stopped Spread of New Coronaviruses

South Korea has been one of the countries that successfully stopped the spread of new coronaviruses through extensive testing and contact tracing among infected people. 
The country saw a surge in confirmed cases of new crowns in mid-February, almost simultaneously with Italy. 
However, as of press time, the number of COVID-19 confirmed cases in South Korea was 10,613, while the number of confirmed cases in Italy was 168,941.

How to Soften and Clean Blood Vessels?

The savior that softens the blood vessels is found, eat daily, remove garbage and blood vessels clean slowly The blood vessels are densely packed in the human body, and there are many branches, which are complicated. Blood supplies oxygen and oxygen to various organs and tissues through these blood vessels to ensure the health of the body. Once there is a problem with blood vessels, it will affect blood transport and cause abnormal phenomena, which is very detrimental to health. Among them, the occurrence of blood clots in blood vessels is very serious. It can cause hardening and blockage of blood vessels, which is extremely detrimental to the health of blood vessels.

What is Biomechanics?

    The field of biophysics known as biomechanics (bio-mechanics) uses the principles and techniques of mechanics to the quantitative analysis of mechanical issues in living beings. Its studies cover everything from entire organisms to systems and organs (including blood, body fluids, organs, bones, etc.), from bird flying and fish swimming to flagella and cilia movement to the movement of body fluids in plants. The three laws of energy, momentum, and mass conservation as well as the constitutive equations characterising physical attributes form the foundation of biomechanics. Research in biomechanics focuses on mechanical issues that are connected to physiology and medicine. It can be separated into motion biomechanics, biofluid mechanics, and biosolid mechanics depending on the various research objects.     Bio-mechanics belongs to the branch of biophysics. The research scope ranges from biological whole to systems and organs.   Table of Contents 1. O
