A pulse oximeter&nbsp;is a better&nbsp;indicator of infection in older adults than temperature checks, finds a new Covid-19 study led by researchers at the&nbsp;Washington State University.
Adding that people have gotten accustomed to checking their temperature during the pandemic as fever is a common symptom of the virus. However, the paper notes that baseline temperature is lower in older adults which means a fever may be overlooked using the standard definitions of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or greater.
Additionally, some Covid-19 patients have no visible signs of having low oxygen levels, such as shortness of breath, yet have oxygen saturation below 90 per cent. Such asymptomatic hypoxia can be associated with extremely poor outcomes&nbsp;noted the team in the journal Frontiers in Medicine.&nbsp;
Detection of hypoxia is critical&nbsp;in the prevention of infection progression, initiation&nbsp;of&nbsp;treatment and helps in better&nbsp;allocation of scarce healthcare resources.&nbsp;

Hand hygiene is not a novel concept, however&nbsp;it has assumed more significance owing to the current Covid-19 health crisis. According to WHO, washing hands regularly with soap and water is the best way to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
The World Health Organization (WHO) marked May 5 as World Hand Hygiene Day recognising the role of clean and safe hands in warding off many serious infections. This year's theme is 'Achieving hand hygiene at the point of care.' The point of care here refers to the place where three elements come together: the patient, the health care worker and care or treatment involving contact with the patient or their surroundings.
The 'Save Lives: Clean Your Hands' global campaign was launched in 2009 to maintain global promotion, visibility and sustainability of hand hygiene in health care and to bring people together in support of hand hygiene improvement around the world.

In order to fight the battle against infections, it is integral to keep your immunity in check. A weaker immunity can make it harder for your body to recover quickly. While eating a balanced diet all day is important, there&rsquo;s nothing like kick-starting your day with foods that give your immune system a boost.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Add these foods to your breakfast to reap the benefits:&nbsp;&nbsp;
OATS&nbsp;
Oats are extremely rich in dietary fibre and have anti-microbial properties which makes them a&nbsp;great&nbsp;immunity breakfast.&nbsp;They&nbsp;also contain selenium and zinc, two&nbsp;essential&nbsp;nutrients for warding off infection and helping you stay in fighting shape.&nbsp;&nbsp;
FIG OR ANJEER&nbsp;
A tiny fruit with big benefits, figs are loaded with&nbsp;immune-boosting Vitamins A and C, potassium, calcium and magnesium.&nbsp;The&nbsp;fibre&nbsp;and antioxidant properties in&nbsp;figs or&nbsp;anjeer&nbsp;not only&nbsp;supports immunity but also&nbsp;helps&nbsp;maintain oxygen levels in the blood.&nbsp;&nbsp;
PAPAYA&nbsp;
Bright, tropical fruit papaya helps keep our stomach clean and is a good source of vitamin C.&nbsp;Best enjoyed uncooked and ripe, papaya has good amounts of vitamin B, folate and potassium.&nbsp;It&nbsp;also&nbsp;contains an enzyme called&nbsp;papain&nbsp;which is very good for the digestive system.&nbsp;
CURD&nbsp;
If you start your morning with parathas, then add some curd on the side. You can even consume yoghurt as a post-exercise snack after your morning workouts&nbsp;for a flush of energy.&nbsp;The probiotics&nbsp;in curd help&nbsp;support the&nbsp;immune&nbsp;system&nbsp;and it's also high in protein.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
AMLA&nbsp;&nbsp;
Some amla in the morning can have numerous health benefits. Whether you have it raw with a sprinkle of salt, make some amla juice or suck on amla candies, this berry has amazing benefits for your skin, hair, stomach and immunity. Amla is rich in vitamin C, E and A as well as iron and calcium.&nbsp;&nbsp;

If you&rsquo;re getting tested for the novel coronavirus, make sure to note your CT value in the test report.&nbsp;The CT count or the cycle threshold is a number mentioned in your RT-PCR test, indicating the level of seriousness of the infection.&nbsp;In simpler terms,&nbsp;the CT count tells you whether you are&nbsp;Covid-19&nbsp;positive or not and to what extent the&nbsp;infection&nbsp;has spread in&nbsp;your&nbsp;body.&nbsp;
As samples move through cycles, the sooner the virus is detected, the higher the viral load is supposed to be.&nbsp;&nbsp;
According to the ICMR,&nbsp;35 is the number to confirm the presence of virus infection, which means if a person has a CT value of 35 or more, then they do not have Covid-19.&nbsp;People with&nbsp;a CT value of&nbsp;25 to 34&nbsp;are said to&nbsp;have mild signs of infection. But if this value is 24 or less, then the condition of such a patient can be very serious.&nbsp;

At the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, one of the three basic symptoms of this viral infection identified by the World Health Organization was a cough. A patient recovering from COVID-19 could have either a dry or a wet cough to deal with.
Managing the cough, clearing it out properly and being able to breathe freely again is a big part of the recovery process that every&nbsp;patient has to go through. Maintaining a good COVID-19 recovery diet packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants can surely help deal with the cough to some extent. Here are a few tips recommended by the National Health Service that can help you manage both types of cough.
Tips to manage a dry cough
A dry cough can put a lot of strain on your throat and make sleep next to impossible. Cover your mouth with your arm when you cough and wash your hands with soap and water frequently.
1. Drink plenty of water, especially lukewarm water throughout the day as staying hydrated is absolutely essential. You can also drink warm water with lemon and honey, kadha, clear broth or eat some yummy soup.
2. Swallowing may be difficult when you have a dry cough and inflammation, so take small sips of fluids instead of gulping them down.
3. In case you don&rsquo;t have any warm fluids nearby and your throat feels dry, swallow your saliva repeatedly to soothe your throat.
4. Steam inhalation and gargling with saline water is a must if you want the dry cough to disappear quickly. Pour hot water in a bowl, put your head over the bowl, cover your head with a towel and breathe in the steam. You can also use a steam inhalation machine.
 Tips to manage a wet cough
Having to spit out your cough and phlegm frequently makes a wet cough very difficult to handle. It&rsquo;s important that you take every precaution and dispose of your phlegm safely to prevent the spread of the virus.
1. Don&rsquo;t lie on your back while sleeping or resting. Lie on either side with your head elevated on two-three pillows, this will help you get some relief from the cough.
2. It&rsquo;s important that you walk a bit around your room to clear out your chest.
3. Drink plenty of warm and lukewarm fluids to loosen the mucus in your lungs and release the cough faster. Drink warm water, herbal tea, broth and eat soup to facilitate this.
4. Steam inhalation, when taken thrice or more during the day, also helps loosen the phlegm in the lungs and clear it out.

If you’ve been trying to eat up to strengthen your immune system, here’s one thing that you would probably benefit more by eating less.

If you&rsquo;ve been trying to eat up to strengthen your immune system, here&rsquo;s one thing that you would probably benefit&nbsp;more&nbsp;by eating less.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Researchers have found that the amount of salt you eat can impact your immunity.&nbsp;Publishing&nbsp;in the journal&nbsp;Circulation, the team found that a high intake of salt can disrupt&nbsp;mitochondrial respiration and suppress immunity.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Sodium can accumulate at inflammation sites in the body and affect the functioning of innate and adaptive immune cells, found the team.&nbsp;So, the less you reach for the salt shaker, the better it is for your health. In fact, salt also raises blood pressure and thereby increases the risk of heart attack or stroke.&nbsp;
So how much is too much? According to researchers from the study, &lsquo;adults are recommended to limit their daily intake to five or six grams at most. The calculation includes the salt that is hidden in processed foods.&rsquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;

According to a recent&nbsp;TOI report, more than 70,000 people across the country reached out to a mental health helpline in the last financial year, indicating the impact of the&nbsp;Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown on people's psychological state.

Covid-19 infections are increasing at an alarming rate across the country. In view of this, the Centre has released guidelines for people who have recovered from COVID-19 and want to donate plasma to other infected patients.
If you aren't aware, plasma therapy is a procedure, wherein the blood of a person who has recovered from the coronavirus infection is extracted and injected into a patient suffering from the disease. The plasma contains antibodies that can help the patient fight the deadly pathogens and recover from the disease. Follow these guidelines before donating plasma to COVID-19 patients.
1. Always carry a hard copy of your COVID-19 negative report and Aadhar Card (front and back). The RT-PCR or Rapid Antigen test should be within 4 months of the day of donation.
2. A person can donate plasma:
&gt;14 days have passed after a Covid-19 positive report, if asymptomatic
&gt;14 days after symptoms have disappeared, if symptomatic.
3. Women who have ever been pregnant cannot donate COVID-19 plasma.
4.&nbsp;A person who has received COVID-19 vaccination will not be able to donate plasma for 28 days from the date of vaccination.
5. A person can not donate if he/she does not have enough antibodies present in their blood.
6. Contact the hospital prior to your visit and inform them of your plans and ask for any additional information they might have on the matter.

On International Labor Day, it is important to talk about the gender gaps and other challenges that&nbsp;women face at workplaces.&nbsp;According to an online learning institution Harappa Education's survey titled &lsquo;What Women in Leadership Need,' a staggering 90 percent of female respondents stated that they hesitate to ask for a raise at work.

Taking advantage of the short supply of Remdesivir, some people were found selling the drug at highly inflated prices in the black market. For those who are not aware,

Remdesivir injection is prescribed for Covid-19 patients who exhibit severe symptoms. Taking advantage of the short supply of Remdesivir, some people were found selling the drug at highly inflated prices in the black market. Fake Remdesivir injections have also been seized by police at many places.
To curb such instances, IPS officer and DCP of the Crime Branch of the Delhi Police, Monika Bhardwaj took to Twitter and posted tweets pointing out the difference between a genuine Remdesivir&nbsp;injection and a fake version. These are simple checks to identify a fake Remdesivir jab from the genuine one.
1. Fake Remdesivir packages do not have &ldquo;Rx&rdquo; written on them just before the name of the injection.
2. There is an alignment error where the brand name of the product is written. Note the gap on the package of fake and genuine Remdesivir injections, the fake one has an increased gap.
3. There is a capitalisation error in the third line written on the package in the word 'Vial'. The genuine package has the letter 'V' capital&nbsp;while the fake one has a small 'v'.
4. Just below the warning label, key information &ldquo;Covifor [brand name] is manufactured under the license from Gilead Sciences, Inc&rdquo; is missing on the fake injection package.
5. There is a spelling error in the full address on the package containing the fake Remdesivir injection, it spells Telangana as &ldquo;Telagana&rdquo;.
6. There is another capitalisation error below the brand name (COVIFOR) in the word &ldquo;Vial". The genuine package has the letter 'V' capital while the fake one has a small 'v'.
7. On the backside of the box, the &ldquo;Warning&rdquo; label is red in colour on the genuine package whereas the fake one has a black colour warning label.
8. One more capitalisation error is found at the backside of the box in the word "India". The genuine package has the letter 'I' capital while the fake one has a small 'i'.

We have always heard about the advantages of drinking hot water but did you know consuming it frequently can have a detrimental effect on your health. These days, people are having it daily to prevent the deadly coronavirus. Always remember, too much of anything can affect you in the wrong way. Here are some side effects of drinking too much hot water.
Increased load on kidneys
Your efficient kidneys have a strong capillary system to flush out excess water and toxins from the body. Consuming too much hot water will not improve or fasten this flushing process. In fact, excess consumption will increase the workload, which can have a dangerous effect in the long run.
Damage internal linings
Frequent consumption of hot water can cause internal scalding on the linings of the organs, it can also burn your lips, mouth and tongue. Make sure you check the temperature of the water before drinking, it&rsquo;s better to consume it warm rather than hot.
Imbalance water concentration
It is said that drinking too much hot water, even when not thirsty, can cause an imbalance in the water concentration in the body. Also, too much water at a time can cause swelling of the brain cells, which in turn could be perilous for a human.
Dilution of electrolytes in blood
If there is excess water in the system, the electrolytes in the blood can become more diluted than those in the cells. This will result in the swelling of your cells which can cause headaches and other problems.
Disturbs sleep
Too much consumption of hot water causes an imbalance in your sleep. Avoid drinking hot water before going to bed as it would disrupt your sleep with frequent urination.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a serious impact on many people, including cancer patients, their families and caregivers. Currently, the biggest worry gripping them is whether getting vaccinated against this virus is safe or not, as they have a different level of resistance &amp; disease-fighting power.
Dr. Anil Heroor, Head of Surgical Oncology, Fortis Hospital, Mulund &amp; Fortis Hiranandani Hospital, Vashi shared with Indian Express, the dos and don&rsquo;ts for Cancer patients before getting the jab. So, here&rsquo;s what you need to know.
There are two elements to this discussion. One for Cancer survivors and the other for those undergoing cancer treatment. For Cancer survivors, it is best recommended that they take the vaccine as they are already on the path to recovery.&nbsp;
Patients who have undergone cancer surgery
Such patients should consult their doctors before getting vaccinated. One&rsquo;s type of cancer and treatment determines the risk factors, benefits, timelines and what one should know before receiving the first dose.
Patients receiving chemotherapy
Patients undergoing treatments such as Chemotherapy and Radiation should go for Covid vaccination after taking a gap of 5-7 days from their last session. It is important to take the vaccine at a time when your white blood count (WBC) and blood platelets are not low. Therefore, a Complete Blood Count (CBC) needs to be done before getting vaccinated.
Patients with leukemia
It is recommended that patients with leukemia should delay vaccination until after the completion of chemotherapy treatments such as induction therapy which is given for acute leukemia. Also, they must consult their doctor before getting vaccinated.
Patients undergoing stem cell therapy
Patients who are within three months of an Autologous Stem Cell Transplant, Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant or CART Cell Therapy, should go for vaccination after consultation&nbsp;with their doctor. In addition, those with severe Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD) and those with low B-cell counts should discuss with their provider whether vaccination should be delayed.
Patients who have undergone breast cancer surgery
Vaccination is usually given on the left shoulder but if a person has undergone left breast removal, the vaccination should be taken on the right shoulder. If both breasts have been removed, then the vaccine shot should be either taken on the thigh or the hips.

Loss of smell is one of the most prominent symptoms of the novel coronavirus. Among many other losses, the pandemic has left people with a&nbsp;lingering&nbsp;loss of smell even after recovery.&nbsp;&nbsp;
If your sense of smell is worrying you, experts say you should not use steroids&nbsp;to treat Covid-related smell loss&nbsp;and try &lsquo;smell training&rsquo;&nbsp;instead.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The international panel of smell experts recommend 'smell training' - a process that involves sniffing at least four different odours twice a day for several months.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Writing in the journal&nbsp;International Forum of Allergy &amp; Rhinology, the team said&nbsp;&lsquo;around one in five people who experience smell loss as a result of Covid-19 report that their sense of smell has not returned to normal even eight weeks after falling ill.&rsquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;
In such a case, many doctors are prescribing drugs to help alleviate the problem but&nbsp;these steroids&nbsp;have well-known potential side effects including fluid retention, high blood pressure and problems with mood swings and behaviour.&nbsp;&nbsp;
This is why smell training is a much better, cheaper and side-effect-free alternative. The therapy works by using neuroplasticity - the brain's ability to reorganise itself to compensate for a change or injury. The key is to go and smell distinguished but easily&nbsp;recognisable and familiar smells.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Prof Philpott added that their research shows that 90% of people fully recover their sense of smell after six months.&nbsp;

The coronavirus pandemic has taken over every facet of our lives and this includes our kitchens too! While most of us were busy baking our first banana breads at the onset of the pandemic, many&nbsp;bakers took the opportunity to show off their skills with 'Covid cakes.'
From cakes that mimic the visual appearance of a virus to desserts that feature toilet paper and masks as a decorative element, the &lsquo;corona cake&rsquo; trend was&nbsp;the biggest and perhaps the oddest food trend of 2020.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Many in India also took up the challenge with one sweet shop whipping up a much-talked-about&nbsp;Corona&nbsp;Sandesh as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;
In 2021, this focus has now shifted to vaccinations as countries seek to inoculate their populations. Pastry shops are putting a Covid&nbsp;vaccine spin on their desserts by adding a syringe to the mix.&nbsp;&nbsp;
These syringe-themed desserts feature&nbsp;vaccine-inspired&nbsp;layered mousses with colourful jelly toppings and so much more.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Earlier this year, a German bakery&nbsp;even launched vaccine cakes in the shape of big syringes with &ldquo;2021-Bye Bye Corona,&rdquo; written on them. Reportedly, these vaccine cakes have become the new&nbsp;norm for birthdays, anniversaries&nbsp;and&nbsp;even to mark&nbsp;celebrations for people who&rsquo;ve gotten their jabs.&nbsp;
Which one of these eye-catching cakes would you want to try?

If you&rsquo;ve been feeling not great but also not greatly despondent, just somewhere in the middle lately, you&rsquo;re not alone!&nbsp;This&nbsp;feeling&nbsp;of emptiness that is&nbsp;hard to describe and even harder to shake&nbsp;off&nbsp;could be an unexpected by-product of the Covid-19 pandemic, experts say.&nbsp;
Even if you&rsquo;ve never been infected by the coronavirus or suffered from a major&nbsp;period of grief during the pandemic so far, the feeling can still creep&nbsp;up&nbsp;on you.&nbsp;The official term for it is &ldquo;languishing&rdquo;,&nbsp;according to&nbsp;a Wharton professor.&nbsp;Writing in the New York Times,&nbsp;the professor&nbsp;described&nbsp;&lsquo;languishing&rsquo; as a &lsquo;sense of stagnation and emptiness.&rsquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;
It is believed that the endless anxieties&nbsp;associated with the pandemic, complete disruption of real-time social connections as well as&nbsp;a near-blurred sameness&nbsp;of each&nbsp;day are all to blame.&nbsp;
Interestingly, the term languishing was coined&nbsp;in 2002&nbsp;by&nbsp;psychologist Corey Keyes who defined it as&nbsp;&lsquo;people who are not mentally ill but are not flourishing.&rsquo; In a 2002&nbsp;paper, he&nbsp;wrote that languishing may be understood as a life of quiet despair that parallels accounts of people who describe themselves and life as &ldquo;hollow,&rdquo; &ldquo;empty,&rdquo; &ldquo;a shell,&rdquo; and &ldquo;void.&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Thanks to Covid-19, this &lsquo;blah&rsquo; feeling is just our life now.&nbsp;So,&nbsp;what can we do?&nbsp;
The NYT article suggests that trying to accomplish small but achievable projects may help.&nbsp;Go for things that engage your mind and take away your attention from the crisis. This could mean&nbsp;solving a puzzle or even&nbsp;watching a TV show with a riveting storyline.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Experts also recommend journaling your thoughts and feelings. You could write a&nbsp;gratitude&nbsp;letter&nbsp;or&nbsp;just&nbsp;make a list of things you feel grateful about.&nbsp;&nbsp;
If writing isn&rsquo;t your jam, painting, drawing or really any creative outlet that you enjoy will do the trick just as well.
