New York, May 15 (Ians) A team of US researchers led by an Indian American scientist has reported the first instance of Covid-19 triggering a rare recurrence of potentially serious blood clots in patient's arms.
The discovery, published in the journal Viruses, improves the understanding of how inflammation caused by Covid can lead to upper extremity blood clots and how best to treat them.
While there have been reports of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis following Covid-19, this is the first study in which the disease triggered a recurrence in the upper arm of an active 85-year-old man who had a prior diagnosis of upper extremity blood clots.
"The patient presented to his primary care physician with complaints of swelling in his left arm and was sent to the hospital for further management where he was diagnosed with an upper arm blood clot and an asymptomatic Covid-19 infection," said Payal Parikh,...

New York, Jan 28 (Ians) The overuse of antibiotics occurs due to the mistaken widespread belief that they are beneficial for a broad array of conditions and because many physicians are willing to prescribe antibiotics if patients ask for the medication, a new study suggests.
In children, improper antibiotic use can alter the microbiome while their immunological, metabolic and neural systems are developing, suggests the study published in the journal BioEssays.
And, in adults, there is increasing evidence that antibiotics may enhance risk for metabolic and neoplastic diseases, including diabetes, kidney stones and growths in the colon and rectum that can lead to cancer.
The global use of antibiotics between 2000 and 2015 increased 39 per cent, with a 77 per cent increase in low- and middle-income countries, said lead author Martin Blaser from the Rutgers University in the US.
Antibiotic overuse is when antibiotics are used when they are not needed. Antibiotics are one...
