Pharyngeal swab is used to examine throat diseases.

It is a detection method to understand the patient’s condition, oral mucosa and throat infection.

What is COVID-19 nucleic acid testing using throat swabs?

 Oropharyngeal Sampling

Oropharyngeal Sampling

Because COVID-19 is mainly spread through droplets and contacts, plus the ACE2 receptor necessary for COVID-19 invasion in the respiratory tract, the respiratory tract of the infected person is the main gateway for COVID-19 invasion.

medical flocking swab

About medical flocked swab

DNA flocking swab is suitable for human and animal use. It has advantages over other DNA samples in design. Its unique sample matrix and rapid release interface are more conducive to efficient cell collection and maximize DNA yield. The test piece has been sterilized with ethylene oxide and passed the detection of human DNA contamination.

Flocking DNA oral test is specially used to improve the yield and quality of genomic DNA in oral test cells. Oral cell sample is a good non-invasive collection and detection method instead of blood. Combined with DNA separation and stabilization kit, it can quickly collect high-purity and complete DNA samples.

French Prime Minister Fidel Castel introduced the situation of the French epidemic at a press conference on the 12th.

Two weeks later, France formed a new epidemic prevention committee to evaluate the outbreak of the blockade.

At a press conference held at 18:00, French Prime Minister Castel said that some indicators showed that the epidemic situation in France had improved, but it was not suitable to relax restrictions.

According to the report of Figaro newspaper, Castle said the outbreak of COVID-19 had a great impact on human health. Now 1/4 of Frenchmen die in COVID-19. So that all those in need can get treatment.

However, the restart of the blockade has achieved results, and the daily new patient curve slowed down within a week, down by about 16%. That could be the turning point of the outbreak. Next week, the medical system may reach the second peak of the outbreak. After that, the number of hospitalized patients will decrease.

Jean Castel warned that the improvement in current epidemic data should be explained in a “positive and cautious” way. Lifting restrictions is irresponsible.

The current restrictions will be maintained for at least 15 days, including the prohibition of non essential transactions, and the continued closure of restaurants and stadiums.

Castel stressed that the government does not want to repeat the blockade measures for the first outbreak of the epidemic this spring, which has led to the stagnation of the country’s economic, social and educational life.

The results of the second blockade will meet expectations. Next, the government will continue to provide large-scale support to enterprises and job seekers. The solidarity foundation will issue unemployment benefits as soon as possible and extend them after they expire. The university town will also mobilize to help poor students and create 1600 student employment opportunities in November, December and January 2011.

Carry forward the spirit of citizenship and make unremitting efforts during the blockade.

At the same time, the authorities asked the Ministry of the interior to strengthen supervision, especially in major cities such as Paris. The French can spend Christmas and year-end holidays with their families. He stressed that he hopes this rule can reach some strict restrictions. It is impossible to expect dozens of people to get together or hold a large celebration on New Year’s Eve.

At the press conference, French health minister Olivier viran, education minister Branke blanch, labor minister Elizabeth Bruno Bernard and economic minister Bruno lemier attended the press conference.

Olivier walan says the epidemic has improved. For the recently discussed new crown vaccine, he said cautiously that there were not all the data. “We are ready to start vaccination as soon as the vaccine is effective and safe.

anal swabs

Do you know anything about anal swabs?

Do you know anything about anal swabs?

The study found that these patients were positive not only in the Nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs but also in the anal swabs, which proved the possibility of COVID-19 spreading through the fecal mouth.

The study also found that anal swabs were more accurate than nasal and oropharyngeal swabs.

After entering the body through the nasal cavity and mouth, COVID-19 does not stay at the entrance. The purpose of the body is to penetrate the body. Therefore, those infected with asymptomatic infection and mild symptoms were infected with COVID-19 3~5 days later. The virus in the pharynx could not be detected by nucleic acid (1~2 could not be detected after ordinary people), but the duration of nucleic acid detection in the alimentary canal was significantly longer. The longest case of anal swab lasted for 51 days.

The increase of anal swabs is helpful to improve the detection rate of COVID-19 infected people.

In addition, anal swabs are less painful than nasal and oropharyngeal swabs for healthy groups. Some people even say that “the process is painless”, but they are forbidden to be used for those who have anal erosion, ulcer, abscess and have just completed anorectal surgery.

Compared with the unspeakable sour feeling of nose and oropharyngeal swabs, anal swabs are really comfortable! Because nasal and oropharyngeal swabs are deep after all.
