SARS-CoV-2 versus Ebola

-


   The Ebola outbreak started in 2014 and south-east of Guinea. The first patient identified in December 2013. A few weeks later, it became a serious epidemic problem.  In 2016 this virus ended with 28,869 patients and 11,316 deaths. One week later, Ebola started again in the Democratic Republic of Congo and five people died because of this virus.   

   The SARS-CoV-2 outbreak started in 2019 and Wuhan, China. The first patient identified in December 2019. A few months later, it becomes a pandemic worldwide. It is still continuing with 6,474,963 cases and 382,924 deaths.

  Here is the table-1 for understanding how both of two virus are killing and spreading:
                                                 (Prepared from Emir Öncü)

  ◼ The SARS-CoV-2 is spreading faster than the Ebola virus. Unlike COVID-19, Ebola is more deadly according to this table. 

  ◼ Both of them are transmitted to people from wild animals.

  ◼ Approximately, %42.3 of patients dies because of the Ebola. %5.9 of cases dies because of the SARS-CoV-2 according to table-1.

   ◼ Scientists have found the vaccine for the Ebola but, they have not found the vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 yet.

  ◼ Blood or body fluids of a person who is sick with or has died from the Ebola. We are not certainly sure how Coronavirus spreads.

  ◼ Symptoms are quite similar to each other:
🔵 Fever
🔵 Fatigue 
🔵 Muscle Pain
🔵 Headache
🔵 Sore throat 
   Many scientists said that we will face with lots of viruses in the future. We have to experience how can we protect us against the new viruses.

    Are you ready for your new life? Metaverse is a kind of digital space that represents us and everything. It also refers to online 3-D virtual environments through personal computing using virtual reality devices.      Nowadays, many leading brands such as Microsoft, NVIDIA and Facebook (Meta) are struggling to create a new virtual universe. They are creating tools such as VR, headsets and watches to enhance the feeling of everything.      This new alternative world has several advantages and bright sides. First, we get our avatars like a cartoon characters. Then, we enter the new world. One of the best sides of Metaverse is that we interact with people who aren’t physically near. Moreover, by new virtual reality tools, we will feel people although they are on the other side of the world. Users can also use messaging apps and video calls. A life-like universe allows people to go to a concert and experience a show with other real people inside the Metaverse.      There is a picture f

   Around the world, there are many astonishing and unique animal species. The smallest migrating bird "Hummingbird" is one of them. Hummingbirds are named for the sound they make are one of the great wonders in all of nature. Their wings make the titular "humming" sound they are named for. According to the conducted research, hummingbirds were discovered as fossils in Germany 47 million years ago. Their length is just 10-12 cm and their weight is 18-24 grams. Approximately, the lifespan of hummingbirds is 3-5 years.     Hummingbirds are extremely smart and their brain is larger. They can beat their tiny wings 50-70 times in a second. One of their daily habits is visiting 1000-2000 flowers to drink nectar (that also helps pollination). Their tiny heart pumps the blood 1200 times per minute. They have a very high metabolism that gives rise to eat all day long just to survive.     According to scientists, hummingbirds are special because they have lots

What Is Biomedical Engineering?

      Biomedical Engineering is a branch of science that deals with medical problems. BME is a complex field which consists of medicine, biology, computer science, and mechanical engineering. Biomedical engineers are basically making artificial limbs, designing the structure to be similar to a normal human organ, and designing the mechanical structure to maintain the best quality for humans.                  One of the earliest basic examples created by Egyptians 3000 years ago because humans needed to develop life-enhancing tools. Years and years, BME has been growing much faster than the average for all occupations from 2012 to 2019. Imagination is one of the significant elements because If you want to create a device, it should be cheaper, faster, and accurate than the other created devices. It is an amazing and inspiring point that If a biomedical engineer creates something, he may save thousands of lives.          A biomedical engineer can create prosthesis, surgical systems/devic
