i currently take Plaquenil (Hydroxychloroquine) for rheumatoid arthritis, and my doctor did indicate it may be helpful against Covid but not enough tests to confirm. Is it close enough to chloroquine to be the same ?
Keen to know this too. Hydroxychloroquine is the only common -quine drug in East Africa; odd but true, I think malarial chloroquine resistance has something to do with lack of demand/supply.
Additional possible drugs are alluvia, actemra. I think there's a study out for alluvia.
Things to avoid are aspirin (suspected basses on [1]) and ibuprofen (French govt recommendation).
Someone should come up with a summary page of the potential therapeutic drugs and their current state (suspected/in study/recommended)
"Hydroxychloroquine (EC50=0.72 μM) was found to be more potent than chloroquine (EC50=5.47 μM) in vitro. Based on PBPK models results, a loading dose of 400 mg twice daily of hydroxychloroquine sulfate given orally, followed by a maintenance dose of 200 mg given twice daily for 4 days is recommended for SARS-CoV-2 infection, as it reached three times the potency of chloroquine phosphate when given 500 mg twice daily 5 days in advance."
(NOTE: I am not a medical practitioner, I'm just parroting what I was told in a video)
The Medcram video shared elsewhere in this thread (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7F1cnWup9M) does mention that hydrochloroquine is a relative of chloroquine and is also being administered in some places when chloroquine is not available (at a different dosage). They take pains to point out that they should not be administered at the same time as that can lead to a fatal complication, and also that chloroquine as a treatment overall has not been subjected to a rigorous medical study.
The paper says clinical tests used both chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine. In discussing the results, they don't seem to differentiate between the two, unless I missed it.
And as discussed previously before in many submissions, hydroxichloroquine is already actively being used against Covid19 by at least the following EU countries:
like the idea but clicking on the try it free button does nothing..
i need a wedding website soon, and i hated everything out there, so hope i can try this out or i have to build my own site
this is a great idea, i had someone the other day ask me to make an app like this. have you thought about expanding it to help people when choosing groceries in the supermarket? i guess that would be a bit of scope creep though. good luck!
Yes, that has floated around as an idea. Totally not out of the realm of possibilities! We think that eating out is such a big problem for people with dietary needs, that it often affects their social life very negatively in many ways. This is the big challenge we are after.
But we are definitely on the lookout of our users telling us what they want to see in Eatfindr and following their needs. We've been live for a couple of weeks now, so our selection database is still growing, but we have over 15,000 gluten-free restaurants from across the US, as well as over 1,000 humane & organic restaurants.
You are right about it being hard to eat out. Anyway in case you are interested here is what my friend is begging someone to make - she says 'its a total pain to go shopping and come across a product that LOOKS gluten-free and you buy it then go on-line and find out it's been cross-contaminated at the factory. im wondering if there's some way the app can scan something so that i can find out AT THE STORE when i'm looking at the food.'
cheers
If your country of citizenship is eligible for the Visa Waiver Program [1] you just need to fill a form [2] online, declaring you're not a terrorist, drug dealer, child abuser/abductor, etc. [3]
It is probably a good idea to get some health insurance for your whole stay, unless your country has some kind of arrangement with the U.S. to this effect (and I don't know if any country does). You can get insurance from your travel agency or separately online. Check the terms of your home insurance or credit card, if any. Some include some sort of travel insurance.
You should be fine assuming you can legally be in New York for the entirety of the batch (12 weeks). We've had several non-US citizens. We're not an official school, so we can't sponsor student visas.
maybe its me, but i find it hard to scan across three columns to find a name that pops. perhaps just have the results in a single column? i already found a name i like though, so thanks!
Like the article says, it's really off putting to women programmers. I would never consider applying for a job at a company that was proud of its 'brogramming' culture. We don't need more sexist workplaces.
