Pulse oximeters are crucial for COVID-19 patients at home. These devices are simple and help detect pulse rate and oxygen saturation level to seek immediate medical help when required.
Computer modeling is used by a new study to investigate how the coronavirus causes silent hypoxia, a condition when oxygen levels in the body are abnormally low.
Inhalation of isolated coronavirus particles allows more than 65% of them to reach the deepest region of our lungs and cause low blood oxygen levels (hypoxia).
The cancer stem cells that specialise in generating new malignant cells play a key role in spreading the disease.
