[POPULAR SCIENCE] WHO Can Remove Pandemic Faster | Different from Ulcer and Gerd

But of course there are conditions that must be fulfilled if this is to happen immediately. In addition, the expert explained that there are only 5 provinces that can complete the Covid-19 vaccination in a year. 

The topic of the difference between gerd and ulcer is also widely read. This information can help you to recognize if the symptoms of gerd or heartburn are present.

The following is a review of the Saturday issue of Popular Science news , February 27, 2021:

1. WHO can revoke pandemic status in a country It is not impossible that the status of the corona virus pandemic in a country can be lifted earlier this year by the World Health Organization (WHO). 

According to Epidemiologist from Griffith University Dicky Budiman, the definition of a corona virus pandemic can be called legally ending will be determined by WHO. 

It is estimated that the corona virus pandemic can be under control as early as the beginning of 2022, based on realistic estimates at the global level.

That too, said Dicky, when many countries have successfully implemented operating programs such as 3T, 5M and Covid-19 vaccinations. However, according to Dicky, for example the WHO revoked the status of the corona virus pandemic at the end of 2021, because most countries were deemed to have controlled Covid-19. 

Among them, such as countries in Europe, America, Asia Pacific, and even parts of Asia, WHO could possibly revoke this pandemic status. Read the full explanation of Dicky here:

WHO Could have lifted the status of the pandemic sooner in this country, provided that

2. 5 Provinces that can finish Covid-19 vaccination in a year Although  believes that the national vaccination can be completed in less than a year with 30,000 vaccinators injecting 30 people per day, the statistical count of health resources speaks differently. The Indonesian government's ambitious program to increase people's immunity through the Covid-19 vaccination of 70 percent of the population appears to have achieved its target in only five provinces: Jakarta, North Kalimantan, Bangka Belitung Islands, Yogyakarta and Aceh.

 Vaccination in DKI Jakarta province - which has the highest positive cases of Covid-19 with about a quarter of the total national cases - will be completed in 9 months, while the most populous province, West Java (the second highest case with 14 percent of the national total), will only be completed. after 34 months.

Nationally, the Ministry of Health targets immunization to be completed in 15 months by March 2022.

3. Beda stomach then gerd Ulcer and Gerd become two terms that are often considered the same disease, namely conditions of disorders and complaints due to stomach acid. In fact, these two diseases are different. 

In the Science Talk Kompas.com talk, Thursday (11/2/2021), Specialist in Internal Medicine Consultant Gastroenterology Hepatology RS Pondok Indah, Dr. Hasan Maulahela SpPD-KGEH explained that stomach acid normally stays or is only in the stomach. . 

However, it could be due to various conditions or trigger factors that make stomach acid out of the stomach and up into the esophagus. The condition of the rising of stomach acid into the esophagus or esophagus of a person is called Gerd.

While heartburn is generally mentioned by the public, it is an inflammation that occurs in the stomach. Inflammation or irritation in the stomach can occur due to excessive stomach acid, which causes the digestive process that occurs in the stomach to be disturbed and eventually various complaints in the stomach and surrounding areas arise. 

"It is a little different in the location of the disease, although sometimes they both appear together in the gastrointestinal tract," he said.

Now to distinguish between them, here are the symptoms of gerd and ulcer that you can read here:

4. This genetic mutation makes people resistant to cold temperatures When cold weather hits, some people may not stand it. But for others, the presence of certain genetic mutations makes them more resistant to cold temperatures. 

Why is that? In a new study researchers found that there is a special genetic mutation that affects people's resistance to cold. This mutation actually makes a person more resistant to cold temperatures. As quoted from Science Alert , Friday (26/2/2021) genetic mutations stop the production of α-actinin-3 protein which is important for skeletal muscle fibers. 

This protein is found only in fast-twitch (white) muscle fibers and not in slow-twitch (red) muscle fibers. Based on the new study, people without α-actinin-3 had a higher proportion of slow-twitch muscle fibers.

One consequence, the body will tend to save energy by building muscle strength through contractions rather than shivering.
