COVID-19 AND DIABETES As we all know how drastic effect has been caused by the novel coronavirus Today we are going to discuss about the about the COVID with the diabetes  the various factors such as follows:- Higher Risk? Symptoms? Extra Precautions? Dietary Changes? Go out for walk? Grocery Shopping? I hope by the end of this article you will come away with more information and practical knowledge Are diabetics more prone to COVID-19? In the present situation there no such clinical data which suggest higher risk of acquiring the disease obviously if there are elderly people who have got uncontrolled diabetes or other commodities the risk may be higher but otherwise in vast majority of stable young population with diabetes is unlikely to be at higher risk however its very pertinent  to point out that if a person with diabetes specially with those with uncontrolled sugar does acquire the disease, the course of the disease in them tends to be more ...

Drug that keeps surface receptors on cancer cells makes them more visible to immune cells

PROCHLORPERAZINE Prochlorperazine (PCZ) inhibits the internalization of receptors on the surface of the tumor cells, thereby increasing the ability of the anticancer antibodies to bind to the receptors and mount more effective immune responses. PCZ enhanced the ability of anticancer antibodies to reduce tumor growth in mice, by temporarily increasing the clustering of a receptor targeted by anticancer antibodies on the surface of tumor cells. Temporary treatment of cancer patients with PCZ similarly resulted in receptor clustering on tumor cells inside of patients. In addition to treating nausea and psychosis, PCZ is currently used in laboratory as inhibitor of endocytosis. The temporary inhibition of endocytosis via molecules such as PCZ has been proposed for numerous clinical applications, including control of viral infection, epilepsy and chronic kidney disease. When tumor samples from patients were analyzed with sqaumous cell carcinoma, they found that decrease in endocytosi...
