Study: Antiviral drugs are a protective treatment for serious head injuries

A recent study conducted by US Universities of Tatst and the British Oxford has revealed new mechanisms that link vertical shocks to stimulating viruses inherent to the brain, which opens new horizons to the use of antiviral medicine as an early preventative treatment to reduce the dangers of degenerative diseases. The fear of the impact of conclusions and regular head injuries in violent sports such as football and boxing is increasing, as these injuries are no longer just an inevitable consequence of competition, but rather a serious health threat that can lead to neurological degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and chronic encephalopathy. The results of the study published in the journal “Science Signaling” said that the viruses inherent in the brain, such as the simple herpes virus and the Virgin virus, may be active by shock, leading to cumulative inflammation and damage that can occur over months and years. Viruses inherent in the body The microbium contains many types of bacteria that inhabit the body, help with digestion, develop the immune system and protect against harmful pathogens, but it also contains dozens of potential viruses, such as the simple herpes virus found in more than 80% of people, and the virgin virus, which occurs at 95% of people. These viruses can settle in the brain and remain inactive in neurons and supporting cells. Previous studies have shown that the activation of the HSV-1 herpes virus of the inherent state causes symptoms of Alzheimer’s, such as amyloid plate, neuronal loss and inflammation. In the study, the researchers used a model of the brain tissue to simulate the effect of concussion. If the model is exposed to trauma -like shocks, the researchers noted the activation of the virus and the occurrence of signs of Alzheimer’s. If the brain is shocked or concussion, there is a disorder in the environment around the neurons, leading to the activation of the virus from the inherent state. Simple herpes virus when activating the simple herpes virus. The virus begins to multiply within the cells, causing a strong inflammatory response, leading to a series of events related to the occurrence of signs of Alzheimer’s disease. These events include the formation of amyloid plaques arising from the accumulation of amyloid protein abnormal, which will harm the communication between neurons, as well as protein and form fibrous intertwining that impedes the work of neurons, and the activation of the immune system leads to enlargement. Over time, this chronic inflammation and the accumulation of harmful protein lead to the death of neurons, and the loss of neuromuscular networks, which is a feature of Alzheimer’s disease. The study indicated that the repeated head injuries could aggravate the symptoms and activate the potential viruses, increasing the risk of developing neurological degenerational diseases, and the results also highlight the importance of searching for new preventative treatments such as anti -solemnicides to reduce the dangers of neurological diseases. The problem exceeds athlete; As the actual brain injuries are one of the most common causes of disability and death in adults, and affects about 69 million people annually, with an economic cost estimated at $ 400 billion annually. The researchers say that the brain tissue model increases the concept of injury, infection and neurological diseases, and paves the way for testing new medicines that can contribute to prevention and treatment.
