NIPAH VIRUS CAUSES AND CURE

Nipah virus is one of the top 10 prior diseases list of W.H.O. They recognized nipah as a newly emerging zoonosis that spread in animals as well as in humans. These are likely to spread through fruit bats.
It affects many parts of human body but the one mostly infected part is “brain”. Due to this there will be swelling in brain known as “encephalitis”. According to W.H.O up to still (Jun 2018) there is no drug and vaccination to fight this.

SYMPTOS

Drowsiness, Headache, Fever, Disorientation, Mental confusion and Respiratory illness are its main symptoms.
Patient can also progress to coma within 20-48 hrs. Symptoms appear in 4 to 15 days.

CURE

According to W.H.O there is no cure found of this virus. But the primary treatment or cure is intensive supportive cure and consult to doctor as soon as possible if symptoms appear. And eat fruits and vegetal and change to healthy life style.
And the only way to prevent this virus is to avoid get infected.

CAUSES AND SPREAD WAYS

Nipah virus is a newly emerging zoonosis. The natural hosts of Nipah virus are fruit bats.
Bats infect date palm sap which is further drunk by humans and also with wells whose water also infected by bats. This is also spread by ill pigs.

ORIGN

This virus was first identified in Malaysia in 1998. And named after the village where it was first find “Kampung Sungai Nipah” village. At that time it is primarily found in pigs and get transferred to humans.
In 2001 an outbreak in Bangladesh was caused by consumption of date palm sap that was infected by fruit bats. Virus also seen in Bangladesh in 2003, 2004 and 2005.
Also in 2001 a febrile illness with neurological symptoms was observed in India (Siliguri west Bengal). And second time in 2007 in Nadia (W.B). Again in 2018 in Kerala which takes more than 16 lives.

What is Nebula. Images of some nebula by Hubble

A nebula is a giant cloud of dust and gas in space. Some nebulae (more than one nebula) come from the gas and dust thrown out by the explosion of a dying star, such as a supernova. Other nebulae are regions where new stars are beginning to form. For this reason, some nebulae are called "star nurseries." How do stars form in a nebula? Nebulae are made of dust and gases—mostly hydrogen and helium. The dust and gases in a nebula are very spread out, but gravity can slowly begin to pull together clumps of dust and gas. As these clumps get bigger and bigger, their gravity gets stronger and stronger. Eventually, the clump of dust and gas gets so big that it collapses from its own gravity. The collapse causes the material at the center of the cloud to heat up-and this hot core is the beginning of a star. Some of the most amazing nebula pictured by Hubble in Milky Way Galaxy The Eagle Nebula’s Pillars of Creation (M 16, Messier 16) The dust and gas in the pi

STARS GOING OUT OF CONTROL

Stars Gone Haywire. As nuclear fusion engines, most stars live placid lives for hundreds of millions to billions of years. But near the end of their lives they can turn into crazy whirligigs, puffing off shells and jets of hot gas. Thanks to Hubble which give us a chance to view these beautiful stars. The Butterfly Nebula Imagine a lawn sprinkler spinning wildly, tossing out two S-shaped streams. At first it appears chaotic, but if you stare for a while, you can trace its patterns. The same S-shape is present in the Butterfly Nebula, except in this case it is not water in the air, but gas blown out at high speed by a star. The S-shape directly traces the most recent ejections from the central region, since the collisions within the nebula are particularly violent in these specific regions of NGC 6302. "This iron emission is a sensitive tracer of energetic collisions between slower winds and fast winds from the stars. It's commonly observed in supernova remnants and active gala

WHAT IS A BLACK HOLE

In April, NASA created a big announcement that they captured first image of black hole. BUT WHAT IS A BLACK HOLE It is a great amount of matter packed into a very small area - think of a star ten times more massive than the Sun squeezed into a sphere approximately the diameter of New York City. The result is a gravitational field so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. Most famously, black holes were predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity, which showed that when a massive star dies, it leaves behind a small, dense remnant core. If the core's mass is more than about three times the mass of the Sun, the equations showed, the force of gravity overwhelms all other forces and produces a black hole. HOW THEY ARE FORMED Most black holes form from the remnants of a large star that dies in a supernova explosion. (Smaller stars become dense neutron stars, which are not massive enough to trap light.) If the total mass of the star is large e
