Fate is sometimes relentless. Costume designer Jaroslav Nesvadbová she has not yet buried the man, and she has to come to terms with the departure of her only sister. She died on Tuesday. Irena Sedlecká was a very revered sculptor. From 1967 she lived in London, where she became a member of the Royal British Sculpture Society. For example, she is the author of a three-meter sculpture Mercuryhostanding on the shores of Lake Geneva, she also portrayed footballer Bobby Charlton, Sir Laurence Olivier and many other important personalities. The information was confirmed by the son of Miloš Nesvadba, Michal, who lost another beloved person in a short time.
“Irena married the sculptor František Bělský, who, for example, made a memorial plaque to the paratroopers at the Church of St. Cyril and Methodius in Prague. He befriended Pablo Picasso, “revealed Aha! mim and actor Václav Upír Krejčí (64). He was behind Irena in Great Britain when he was still playing with Michal Nesvadba in Mimtrio. “She was an amazing lady, funny and prompt, she had only the originals of the great masters at home, which, as she told me, the artists themselves gave her out of friendship themselves,” the Vampire added with admiration. Irena also came 5 years ago to celebrate Nesvadb’s 90th birthday, when representatives of the National Theater also came to congratulate him at home.

Most likely, among the suspects will be employees of the company who were supposed to take out medical waste
As it became known to MK, on June 28 at about 5 p.m. under the bridge near the water utility building in the settlement of Sosenskoye bags with traces of blood and bloodied towels were found. The cause of death was marked on the tags: “COVID-19,” the names of the four dead are listed. In total, on-site investigators counted eleven plastic bags.
For information, dead from coronavirus are opened in special morgues, while the bodies are packed together with documents in two bags during transportation. The funeral is held according to epidemiological rules.
– Bloody waste is potentially dangerous. They must be disposed of in a special way. Everything that was in contact with the patient is collected in special bags and transferred to a special company for disposal. Perhaps the company that won the recycling tender was treated in bad faith. They took the money for recycling, and shipped it around the corner, ”an informed source suggests.
After the inspection, the Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee for TiNAO will initiate a criminal case – most likely, under the article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Negligence”.
The head physician of the hospital, Denis Protsenko, said that all the available information was transferred to law enforcement authorities, and the information circulated by some media that the patient’s medical records were also found with the bags was untrue.

Cloving hospital on the basis of the Medical Scientific and Educational Center (ISSC) Moscow State University named after M.V.Lomonosov took the first patients on April 21 and completed his work on June 13. It turned out that it was possible to achieve the best treatment results for COVID-19 in Moscow. Over the entire period, 4 patients died, and among severe patients who got mechanical ventilation, the mortality rate was less than 14% (for comparison, the average for the city and the world was up to 70 – 80%). Eighteen doctors out of 220 employees of the hospital were infected with coronavirus, there were no deaths among the medical staff.
What approaches were used at the University Hospital of Moscow State University to achieve such results? We continue the conversation with the head. Department of Therapy, Faculty of Fundamental Medicine, Moscow State University, Head of the Department of Age-Associated Diseases, Medical Scientific and Educational Center, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Cardiologist Yana Orlova.
MEDICINE FOR COUGH FOR 80 RUBLES
– Most of those who are ill or are afraid to get sick are worried about fibrotic changes in their lungs. They say that you have developed special therapy that can reduce the risk of developing fibrosis. Is it possible?!
– Yes, we launched an appropriate clinical study. There are no final results yet, but we have developed clinical practice.
“What did you do to save the lungs?”
– We used a combination of bromhexine and spironolactone (both are long-known very cheap drugs. – Ed.). Bromhexine is an expectorant that has been prescribed to patients with pneumonia and cough for many years. At the same time, experimental data showed that this drug can block a specific enzyme and impede the penetration of coronavirus into cells. True, it was on this effect that we counted to a lesser extent in inpatients, since such an effect is important mainly in the early stages of the disease. But the expectorant effect of bromhexine really helps patients with COVID. I heard that our colleagues in Peter launched a study of bromhexine for prophylactic purposes. We will wait for the results.

FIBROSIS OBSTACLE
– The second drug – spironolactone – is traditionally widely used in cardiology for the treatment of heart failure, severe hypertension. It has a small diuretic, magnesium and potassium-preserving effect, continues Yana. Orlova. – It has several mechanisms through which it can be useful in coronavirus infection.
Firstly, a mechanism that prevents the development of fibrosis in general in the body. There are works that, in particular, show that spironolactone reduces fibrosis in the heart. At the same time, it is known that the tendency to fibrosis is not local, but systemic – where there is more inflammation, there will certainly be fibrosis. And we see, of course, fibrotic changes in the “covide” in our patients. Therefore, we prescribed spironolactone as a drug for the prevention of this process.
Secondly, this drug blocks sex hormone receptors, in particular testosterone. Some published studies suggest that “high-testosterone” men suffer from “covid” more often and develop more severe fibrotic changes. Therefore, blocking these receptors for several weeks during COVID treatment may be useful in reducing the severity of complications. We are not talking about a longer intake, since male patients are unlikely to agree with a decrease in testosterone levels in the long term.
And perhaps the most important point. In almost all of our patients, we observed hypokalemia (a decrease in potassium levels. – Ed.). With coronavirus infection, potassium is intensely excreted from the body, and scientific articles even suggest that hypokalemia serves as the trigger for a cytokine storm. So spironolactone has a real chance to reduce the risk of this dangerous complication. But the main thing, in my opinion, is that lowering the level of potassium in the body is extremely harmful to the heart and triggers life-threatening rhythm disturbances, increasing the risk of sudden death. We, like all others, replenished potassium with droppers, but it was more effective to retain it in the body with the help of spironolactone.

WHEN PRESCRIBED PATIENTS
– Yana Arturovna, how many patients did you have on average?
– About 10 – 14 days. But someone and 50 days.
– Have you noticed signs by which it can be assumed that the disease in the person brought is likely to go the hard way?
– Such studies were carried out in the world, our clinical practice confirmed them. Men certainly get worse than women; the elderly are heavier than the young; overweight people are heavier than overweight patients. Men with a classic male type of baldness, a lot of facial hair, we can say brutal men get sick harder.
– Under what conditions did you discharge patients?
– We acted as close as possible to the recommendations Ministry of Health: so that the temperature for three days was not higher than 37.5 degrees; so that C-reactive protein (an indicator of inflammation) is lower than 10 mg / l, and saturation, that is, the level of oxygen in the blood, is higher than 96%.
“HEAD OF EPIDEMIOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF ITSELF WORKED AT SANPROPUSNIK”
– How often do you get sick doctors and nurses?
– In the first month no one got sick at all. We have a very powerful epidemiological service. The head of the sanitary-epidemiological department, a senior researcher, correctly organized the whole process, and for the first two weeks she personally worked in the sanitary inspection room at the exit from the “red zone” and helped doctors and nurses who were exhausted after the shift safely remove protective clothing.
Then both people’s fatigue and viral load accumulated. By the middle of the second month, sick people began to appear. There were no seriously ill patients. We treated part of the staff in our observation, part of it was treated at home. In total, 18 people were infected from the medical staff (less than 10%).
– Doctors take something for prevention? Vitamins C, D, Zinc?
– I saw the recommendations of American nutritionists, they speak out positively about taking zinc, melatonin and vitamin C. There were somewhat conflicting data on vitamin D. But we did not give any such recommendations to our employees. We have all the prevention was associated with minimizing contacts and other measures of epidemiological safety.
Physicians are the heroes of our time.“If you think that you are special and that a pandemic will not affect you, you are deeply mistaken,” listen to what the doctors who are fighting with coronavirus say

The Argentine judiciary is investigating the death of a man asphyxiated during his arrest by the police in Tucuman County, in a case reminiscent of the death of black American George Floyd in the United States.
The events took place on Wednesday, June 24 in central Tucumana, the provincial capital 1,200 kilometers northeast of Buenos Aires, in front of dozens of witnesses. Some confirmed that two policemen had beat Severino Nadal, 43, and held his neck on the ground.
In a video by a passerby, the man is shown attached to the ground by four men in security force uniforms and two in civilian clothes.
While he was on the ground, he asked for help several times, and local press quoted witnesses. An autopsy confirmed that the death was due to suffocation.
Severino Nadal was arrested for theft, but no one reported it and there was no evidence to condemn him.
His family denounced mistreatment during a previous arrest in February by the police of the same center. Severino had served a prison sentence for theft several years ago.
The statements of the policemen who participated in his arrest will be heard in the coming days.
The investigation comes nearly a month after the death of the 46-year-old black American George Floyd, who died while being arrested by police in Minneapolis on May 25. An autopsy showed that police pressure on Floyd’s chest caused his death, which sparked widespread protests in the United States and the world.
An investigation into the behavior of the Tucuman police is under way after the death of Luis Espinosa, an agricultural worker who was arrested during a festival on May 15 and whose body was found a week later in a valley.
In this case, eight policemen and a civilian under investigation were arrested on charges of “unlawful deprivation of liberty followed by the death of a person and enforced disappearance” in the context of an investigation requested by the South American Regional Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.

Rand six months after the start of the coronavirus pandemic, American scientists say there are already over ten million confirmed infections and nearly 500,000 deaths. This came out on Sunday from data from the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.
The latest data may only partially reflect the full extent of the corona pandemic: According to experts, there are many unreported infections and deaths in many countries that have not been confirmed by tests. Even in the United States, government experts believe that only a fraction of infections are recorded due to asymptomatic cases.
In addition, measures to deal with the pandemic have now triggered the worst global recession since the Great Depression about 90 years ago, the International Monetary Fund warned this week. The economy should only recover again next year – provided that the virus is largely brought under control during the year.
The United States is the worst affected country by the pandemic. Until Sunday there were 2.5 million the most confirmed infections and, with more than 125,000 victims, the most known corona deaths. According to Johns Hopkins, authorities there reported 45,255 confirmed new infections on Saturday – the largest increase in one day since the pandemic began. In particular, states in the south of the country such as Florida, Texas, Arizona and California reported highs in new infections. A waning of the pandemic therefore did not appear to be in sight at first.
In global terms, Brazil followed in second place, where the pathogen Sars-CoV-2 recently also spread rapidly. There were 1.3 million known infections and around 57,000 deaths there, according to Johns Hopkins. In terms of confirmed corona infections, Russia (630,000), India (530,000) and Great Britain (310,000) followed.
The number of victims in the United States, with approximately 330 million people, is the highest in absolute terms worldwide. Relative to the number of inhabitants, however, the number of deaths is higher in some European countries. In America, around 38 people per 100,000 people died, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. In the UK, this figure is rounded to 66, in Italy to 57 and in Sweden to 52 – in Germany, by contrast, 11.
The Hopkins University website is updated regularly with incoming data and therefore usually shows a higher level than the official figures of the World Health Organization (WHO). In some cases, however, the numbers have recently been revised downwards. The World Health Organization (WHO) registered 9.82 million known infections and more than 495,000 deaths by Sunday.
The coronavirus pandemic started in the Chinese metropolis of Wuhan in late 2019. The Sars-CoV-2 coronavirus can trigger the lung disease Covid-19, which can be fatal, particularly in older or immunocompromised patients.

Texas and Florida backtracked on Friday, and adopted new measures against the bars, while the daily number of confirmed infections of coronaviruses throughout the united States reached an unprecedented 40,000.
The governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, ordered the closure of all the bars, while Florida banned the consumption of alcohol in those establishments. Both states joined a small but growing list of entities that have been suspended, a greater re-opening of their economies due to flare-ups, mainly in the south and the west of the country.
On Wednesday, the number of new cases of coronavirus by day in the united States, exceeded the peak reached at the end of April, recording more than 45,000 new cases of COVID-19, more than the maximum 36,400 reached on the 24th of April, according to NBC News.
This according to data compiled Wednesday by NBC.

Other states with a large number of deaths are Michigan (6,133), Pennsylvania (6,630), California (5,814), and Connecticut, with 4,307.
Health experts have said that it is seeing an alarmingly high number of infections among young people who are coming out again, often without masks and without follow other social distancing measures.
Governor Greg Abbott took the decision to the spike in cases of COVID-19.
“It is evident that the increase in cases is driven primarily by a certain type of activities, as the assistance of texans in the bars,” stated Abbott.
Abbott had undertaken one of the calendarizaciones most dynamic of reopening in the country. The republican had stood up to the demands of that order the use of facemasks and also had refused until last week to allow local governments to impose such a measure.
“The doctors told us at the time, and what is said to who will listen, that this would be a disaster. And what has been”, stated the judge, democrat Clay Jenkins, the authority of highest rank in the county of Dallas. “Once again, the governor acts with slowness. Now you are forced to do the things that you require to do so in the last month and a half”.
Texas reported more than 17,000 new cases in the last three days, and on Thursday reached a record high of nearly 6,000. The second most populous state has also registered daily record of hospitalizations, and Friday surpassed for the first time the 5,000 patients of coronavirus boarding schools.

In Florida, on the instruction of the governor-republican Ron DeSantis, the agency that regulates bars took action after the daily number of new confirmed cases is closer to 9,000, nearly double the record from just two days ago.
Colleen Corbett, a maid of 30 years who works at two facilities in Tampa, was said to be upset and worried to stay again without a job, but pointed out that the restrictions are the correct size. Most customers were not using masks, he said.
“It seems as if they have forgotten that there is a pandemic or just left to worry,” said Corbett.
Several of the states most affected, such as Arizona and Arkansas, have republican governors who have resisted efforts to legislate mandatory use of facemasks and have reiterated the president’s desire to Donald Trump to revive the economy quickly, despite warnings that there could be new outbreaks of coronavirus.

The number of deaths from coronavirus in the united States has been around 600 per day recently, compared with about 2,200 in the peak reached in April. Some experts doubt that it will reach that level again due to advances in treatment and prevention.
The virus has caused some 125,000 deaths and has infected almost 2.5 million people in the united States, according to a tally by the Johns Hopkins University. But health authorities believe that the number of cases is 10 times higher. At the global level, the virus has claimed close to half a million lives.
Louisiana reported its second day with more than 1,300 confirmed cases, a number that made the democratic governor, John Bel Edwards to suspend a greater lifting of restrictions on mobility. The republican governor of Arizona, Doug Ducey, did the same thing, since the new cases in your state exceed the 3,000 per day, and 85% of hospital beds are occupied.

The disease is essentially benign in children. The deaths Covid-19 are extremely rare, and only occur in less than 1 % of cases, confirms a study in european international.
82 health facilities that participated in this first european study with children and adolescents (aged from 3 days to less than 18 years of age), published in the journal The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health.

Led by experts from Great Britain, Austria and Spain, the study shows that out of the nearly 600 children under the age of 18 years, infected by the new coronavirus, only a quarter had pre-existing medical conditions.
This contrast, while the proportion of adults with co-morbidities (diseases) is generally much higher in the studies, are the authors. On the 582 patients studied, a positive virologic test (RT-PCR), only four have died, all older than 10 years, two of which were suffering from medical problems pre-existing.
A low proportion but significant has developed a serious illness requiring treatment in the intensive care unit (8 %, or 48/582 case) ; but the study based on the hospital would not have included the mild cases, who did not need help or a doctor.

In contrast, more than 90 children, or 16 %, had no symptoms. The true case-fatality rate in children is likely to be much lower than that observed in the study, notes the journal.
“Children in whom viruses were detected in the airways at the same time that the SARS-CoV-2 were more likely to be admitted to an intensive care unit. This could have important implications for the next winter season, when the infections by the common cold and the flu will be most common “ note one of the main authors, Dr. Begoña Santiago Garcia of the university hospital Gregorio Marañón in Madrid.
For his part, Marc Tebruegge of Great Ormond Street’s Institute of Child Health, University College London judge the results reassuring. “The case fatality rate in our cohort (child, editor’s note) was very low ; it should still be much lower, given that many children with mild disease would not have been brought to the attention of a physician and were therefore not included in this study “says this co-author. “Overall, the vast majority of children and young people suffer only a mild illness “, he insists.
