Canadian broadway star nick was in intensive care for about 3 weeks weve covered 19 then dont has had to amputate the 41 year olds right leg blood clots have caused irreversible damage. The case shows the coronavirus is more than just a lung infection intensive can medics from china north america and europe seeing more and more thrombosis sees. These blood clots and not just dangerous of patients limbs they can break. The way and affects the lungs the heart all the brain in the form of pulmonary embolisms heart attacks or strokes. A Research Team at new yorks having Medical Center says it has never seen so many extreme abnormal cases from the 1st known instance of covered 19 nearly half a year ago in the chinese city of. Medical scientists still learning all the ways the virus can cause harm. Welcome to this coverage 19 special. Its good to have you with us at their worst they can cause heart attacks and strokes blood clots are becoming a common complication with covered 19 cases scientists are trying to understand why specialists at hamburgs Forensic Medicine Institute are examining the bodies of diseased coronavirus patients for clues. Cause of death coronavirus hamburg through encik Medicine Institute has been in high gear since the outbreak of the pandemic. Institut director klaus crucial and his team have performed almost 200 autopsies uncovered 1000 victims more than any other german state that 1st Disease Control agency the robert costa institute advised against the exams saying it would in danger medical scientists something push push back against. Those if. We know that aerosols are dangerous thats why we have special exhaust systems and we wear protective clothing. Its a matter of course for a pathologist or a forensic medical scientist. We asked professor personal if we may film during an autopsy a clinic camera team captures footage through the window bushell says the researchers learn more each day for example that many of the deceased had a unique type of pneumonia with tissue bleeding that victims brains were almost always altered by inflammation and the corona virus was found by tissue. It is unfair in part tissue disc if we took samples of almost every tissue in all these cases were trying to comprehend what happens in the muscles or inside the liver in the weeks and months ahead many more results will be recorded which will greatly expand our understanding of this disease as weve been through the concord enormous weidenfeld the scientists screen all of the bodies and take c. T. Scans in a new study they say that thrombosis and pulmonary embolisms were frequently found in the deceased something intensive care medics have already suspected this finding has direct implications for future treatment as a delight the new this is change the guidelines especially in the way that the blood clotting system in the formation of trumbo sees are specifically in focus a more intensive precautions are being taken so the trumbo sees and embolisms dont form would offer those 2 boys on. The high number of autopsies confirms earlier results on average the victims were 80 years old and most of them were men all of them had severe preexisting conditions such as high Blood Pressure heart attacks or organ damage. But we can now speak to professor clements vend hes an expert in Infectious Diseases for munichs shopping hospital and the 1st dont to cheat coronavirus patients in germany thanks so much for joining us can you just explain in simple terms if possible the relationship between blood clots and corona virus so we know. One of ours can use. Inflammation. Not only in the lines but also in the blood vessels there are specific receptors in the. These vessels we call. End of the year and you know we have recent Research Showing us that this inflammation in the into the sea you can activate platelets trauma sots and by activation of platelets you get. You know clones in the out we call out micro and why and so these things then can just stop them from slowing and. This can be an early and it was a mole deep vein thrombosis on the line we also might have real severe problems its possible its use and. Have also been reports of clusters of young coughing 1000 patients suffering strokes is that likely related to some sort of clotting resulting from the virus. Thats its all thinking at this point that this is in line with this. Disorder of the facts in 19 so also all the brennan is supported by many vessels and there are instead big wrestling just refusing the brain also have these changes you know walts hole in the sirius in fact it all ends by this clots just sarah shocks in the brain and. Then the clue cosign of the fish i mentioned at the start that he treats of the fest coronavirus patients here in germany has your understanding of disease drastically changed since then to the point where you would perhaps treat them differently yeah in the beginning we just thought its just as far as infection in my through. Meanwhile we have room during the last week its. And also all of them you know months in germany. To make sure whats covered 19 is the we call it a hyper and slow nations so this is kind of inflammation as a secondary event and current 19 so this tells us that the sites you know live happier in. Our own little early patients also will draw sprawl offering this inflammation. Like this and i assume this research is a very complicated word its a its an antibody its seeded so much this and the border for example we have some whole this inflammation can be blocked there on the rocks and this is an immediate change you know way we treat 90 patients while its i think very much be a time for us to clements ben from unix shopping hospital thank you very much of a. And now its your chance to ask the questions asked science correspondent Derek Williams stands ready to answer them. How long do microscopic droplets containing sars couvade to know remain in the air. I touched on this question once a few weeks ago but its time to answer it again as we now have more data on whether or not stars go to might be whats often called airborne we know the virus is transmitted by larger droplets that come out when you sneeze or cough but what about the tiny droplets called aerosols that you amid all the time when you speak could they also transmit the infection a new study indicates that they might be using extremely sensitive lasers the researchers tracked aerosols emitted by test subjects speaking and detected at least a 1000 tiny droplets a minute if those people had been infected could possibly have contained virus and those droplets remain floating in the air for 8 to 14 minutes we dont know how many viruses it takes to make someone sick but the work says at least in enclosed spaces probabilities are high that infected people could transmit the virus simply by speaking loud the testing was done in the lab of course and not under real world air circulation conditions so there are some caviar but this study i think is likely to have an impact on health policy. How long does the virus last on your clone. A well known study from last march found the corona virus was detectable for up to 24 hours on cardboard which in terms of its absorbent qualities is similar to many types of textiles most experts i read are therefore taking 24 hours as a ballpark figure for clothing as well but before. You start stuffing your entire wardrobe in the washing machine you should know those tests were done with pretty high virus concentrations in the lab in the real world youre unlikely to be exposed to those kinds of levels so in general the experts say you shouldnt worry too much about your clothing providing a path for infection. Could convict 1000 of the link to the collection of bat guano used as fertilizer. I love this question because it took me by surprise i never thought about it as a possibility bat guano the animals dried feces is widely used as a fertilizer in asia and other parts of the world and its also an ingredient in some traditional chinese medicine and large scale studies in the past have isolated hundreds of different coronaviruses from from bat droppings so could the 1st infections in this pandemic possibly be linked to the guano trade doesnt seem like a completely unreasonable speculation to me but theres theres no clear evidence for it and without that its just one speculation among many. Correspondent Barry Williams there and finally a new disease calls for new ways of teaching how to treat it and at least one method gets extra points for following social distancing guidelines look at this doctors in taiwan a using Virtual Reality to learn how to handle it 19 equipped with control sticks theyre able to test skills and learn from mistakes without risking their own health or without a teacher physically present as a trainee practicing how to take a medical sample from the 1st 4 patients.
