A brief on Corona Virus, signs and symptoms and its management, virus, incubation period, medicines, treatment, mortality and severity with proper references.
Hello, this presentation is put together to gain general insight about the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) spread across the globe with graphical images, texts and information.
A coronavirus is a kind of common virus that causes an infection in your nose, sinuses, or upper throat. Most coronaviruses aren't dangerous.
In early 2020, after a December 2019 outbreak in China, the World Health Organization identified SARS-CoV-2 as a new type of coronavirus. The outbreak quickly spread around the world.
Corona viruses are a family of viruses that cause illness such as respiratory diseases or gastrointestinal diseases. More severe diseases eg-
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV)
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV).
A novel coronavirus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not been identified in humans previously. Once scientists determine exactly what coronavirus it is, they give it a name (as in the case of COVID-19, the virus causing it is SARS-CoV-2).Coronaviruses got their name from the way that they look under a microscope.
Anti ulcer drugs and their Advance pharmacology ||
Anti-ulcer drugs are medications used to prevent and treat ulcers in the stomach and upper part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcers). These ulcers are often caused by an imbalance between stomach acid and the mucosal lining, which protects the stomach lining.
||Scope: Overview of various classes of anti-ulcer drugs, their mechanisms of action, indications, side effects, and clinical considerations.

Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.

Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

3. What is COVID-19?
It is also known as the Coronavirus disease 2019, a highly contagious
infectious disease caused by a severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2). It was first occurred in December 2019 in
Wuhan, China and had spread globally thus resulted as the recent
pandemic.
4. It greatly affects the lives of millions of people. As of May 9, 2020,
more that 3.97 million cases have positive cases across the globe, thus
resulting in more than 276,000 deaths, with more than 1.33 million
people who have recovered.
5. Some countries affected are the Philippines, United States of America,
State of Qatar, Kuwait, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, China, Japan, United
Kingdom, Italy, France, and many other places.
6. HOW IT IS TRANSMITTED?
The mode of transmission is
droplet, between close contact with
people (1 to 2 meters, 3 to 6 feet).
Small droplets produced by
coughing, sneezing, and talking.
These droplets usually fall to the
surfaces rather than remaining in
the air.
Individuals may be infected by
touching a contaminated surface
and then touching on their face,
eyes, and nose.
7. Incubation Period
The incubation period of this virus, from the time of the exposure to
the virus (becoming infected) and the onset of the symptoms is with
average of 5-6 days, but it can reach up to 14 days.
8. HOW IS A COVID-19 PATIENT
DEFINED?
1. SUSPECT CASE
◦ Patient with severe acute
respiratory infection with symptoms
of fever, cough, and requiring
hospital admission. They usually
have history of travel to or
residence in China, Thailand, Hong
Kong, Taiwan, Macao, Singapore,
Iran, Italy, Malaysia, Japan & Korea
during the 14 days prior to
symptom onset.
9. SUSPECT (continuation)
-Patient with any acute respiratory
illness and at least one of the following
during the 14 days prior to symptom
onset:
-Patients with contact with a confirmed
or probable case of COVID-19 infection,
-Patients who have worked in or
attended a healthcare facility where
patients with confirmed or probable
COVID-19 acute respiratory disease
patients were being treated.
10. 2. Probable Case
A suspect case for whom testing for COVID-19 is inconclusive; where
the result of the test reported by the laboratory is inconclusive. A
positive result of the rapid covid 19 test is a probable case.
11. 3. Confirmed Case
A person with laboratory
confirmation of COVID-19
infection - the SARS-COV-2
PCR testing, irrespective of
clinical signs and symptoms.
14. COMPLICATIONS OF COVID-19
9. Elevates liver enzymes
10. Seizure
11. Stroke
12. Encephalitis
13. Guillain–Barré syndrome
14. Pediatric multisystem inflammatory
syndrome in children
15. Death
15. WHO IS AT RISK OF COVID-19 VIRUS?
People of all ages
Older people over 60 years old
16. WHO IS AT RISK OF COVID-19 VIRUS
People with underlying conditions/co-morbidities such as hypertensive, Asthmatic and lung
diseases, Diabetic, Cancer patients and immuno-compromised.
17. WHO IS AT RISK OF COVID-19 VIRUS
Patients who are receiving chemotherapy and steroids medications.
Health Workers and Pregnant Women
18. HOW TO DIAGNOSE AND DETECT THE CORONA VIRUS?
-Real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR)- Standard method of testing,
respiratory samples can be taken by nasopharyngeal swab, however, nasal swab and sputum can be
used. Results can be available after few hour or two days.
-Chest CT scans are done with the laboratory tests.
29. Management
1. Supportive care, includes fluid therapy,
oxygen support
2. Extracorporeal membrane
oxygenation (ECMO)
3. Personal hygiene and healthy lifestyle with
proper diet is recommended to improve the
immune system.
4. Supportive treatments are useful in mild
symptoms.
