The Three Thumps The three thumps is the process of tapping on 3 parts of the body that connect different parts called meridian points. Tapping on these points will restore your energy when you are tired and keep your immune system strong. Use this process each morning and anytime during the day that you need it.

The Three Thumps K-27 Points To find these points, place the pointer finger of each hand on your collarbone 1 and move your hands toward each other until you reach the two inside corners of your collarbone. Drop straight down from these points to about an inch below your collarbone. For most people, there is a soft spot or dent there. Tap or massage these points for about 30 seconds while breathing in and out. Variation To help the energy cross over from right to left and left to right, cross your arms and tap the left collar bone with the right fist and the right collar bone with the left fist.

Our Immune System (Children's Book)
OurOur ImmuneImmune SystemSystem A story for children with primary immunodeficiency diseases Written by IMMUNE DEFICIENCY Sara LeBien FOUNDATION A note from the author The purpose of this book is to help young children who are immune deficient to better understand their immune system. What is a “B-cell,” a “T-cell,” an “immunoglobulin” or “IgG”? They hear doctors use these words, but what do they mean? With cheerful illustrations, Our Immune System explains how a normal immune system works and what treatments may be necessary when the system is deficient. In this second edition, a description of a new treatment has been included. I hope this book will enable these children and their families to explore together the immune system, and that it will help alleviate any confusion or fears they may have. Sara LeBien This book contains general medical information which cannot be applied safely to any individual case. Medical knowledge and practice can change rapidly. Therefore, this book should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice.

Next-generation sequencing techniques have revolutionized the understanding of pulmonary physiology and pathology. Currently, it is clear that the lung is not a sterile place; therefore, the investigation of the participation of the pulmonary microbiome in the presentation, severity, and prognosis of multiple pathologies, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and interstitial lung diseases, contributes to a better understanding of the pathophysiology. Dysregulation of microbiota components in the microbiome–host interaction is associated with multiple lung pathologies, severity, and prognosis, making microbiome study a useful tool for the identiﬁcation of potential therapeutic strategies.

The Immune System
Chapter 43 The Immune System Lecture Outline Overview: Reconnaissance, Recognition, and Response • An animal must defend itself against pathogens, infectious agents that cause disease. o Viruses, bacteria, protists, and fungi infect a wide range of animals, including humans. • Animals fight back in various ways. o Immune cells patrol the body fluids of animals, seeking out and destroying foreign cells. o Responses to infection include proteins that punch holes in bacterial membranes or block viruses from entering body cells. • Immune systems help animals to avoid or limit many infections. o External barriers, formed by the skin or shell, provide an obstacle to microbes. o Chemical secretions that trap or kill microbes guard the body’s entrances and exits. o The internal defenses include macrophages and other phagocytic cells that ingest and destroy pathogens. • An animal’s immune system must detect foreign particles and tissues that invade the body, distinguishing self from nonself. • To identify pathogens, animal immune systems use receptors that specifically bind molecules from foreign cells or viruses. • Two general strategies for molecular recognition form the basis for innate and acquired immunity. • Innate immunity is common to all animals. • Innate immune responses are active immediately upon infection and are the same whether or not the pathogen has been encountered previously. • Innate immunity includes the barrier defenses (for example, skin) as well as defenses that combat pathogens after they enter the body. • The activation of many of these internal defenses relies on the recognition of pathogens. o Innate immune cells produce a small, preset group of receptor proteins that accomplish this recognition.

These are primarily microbes (germs)—tiny, infection-causing Bacteria: organisms such as bacteria, viruses, streptococci parasites, and fungi. Because the human body provides an ideal environment for many microbes, they try to break in. It is the immune system’s job to keep them out or, failing that, to seek out and destroy them. Virus: When the immune system hits the wrong herpes virus target or is crippled, however, it can unleash a torrent of diseases, including allergy, arthritis, or AIDS. The immune system is amazingly complex. It can recognize and remember millions of Parasite: different enemies, and it can produce schistosome secretions and cells to match up with and wipe out each one of them.

Replication in the Lung and Immune System Alerted
Replication in the lung and immune system alerted The viral load study in Germany showed that active viral replication occurs in the upper respiratory tract. Seven out of nine participants listed a cough among their initial symptoms. In contrast to the falling numbers of viral units in the upper respiratory tract, numbers in sputum rose for most of the participants. In two individuals with some signs of lung infection, the virus in sputum peaked at day 10- 11. It was present in the sputum up to day 28 in one person. Across all participants, there was an average of 7 million units millilitre (about 35 million units a teaspoon), this amount is about 1000 times more than that in people with SARS In the lung, the ACE2 receptor sits on top of lung cells called pneumocystis. These have an important role in producing surfactant- a compound that coats the air sacs (alveoli), thus helping maintain enough surface tension to keep the sacs open for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. As soon as the body recognizes foreign protein, it mounts the first response. One part of the body’s immune response- The lymphocytes- begin to produce the first defence IgM-type antibodies and then the longer-term specific neutralizing antibodies (the IgG type). In the German viral study, 50% of the participants had IgM or IgG antibodies by day 7, and they all had these antibodies by day 14. The amount of antibodies did not predict the clinical course of the disease. 80% of people with COVID-19 will have mild or asymptomatic disease, with common symptoms including fever, cough, and loss of sense of smell.

Communication specialists at EMA use these descriptions for materials prepared for the public. In our documents, we often adjust the description wordings to fit the context so that the writing flows smoothly without distorting the meaning. Since the main purpose of these descriptions is to serve our own writing needs, some also include alternative or optional wording to use as needed; we use ‘<>’ for this purpose. Our list concentrates on side effects and similar terms in summaries of product characteristics and public assessments of medicines but omits terms that are used only rarely. It does not include descriptions of most disease states or those that relate to specialties such as regulation, statistics and complementary medicine or, indeed, broader fields of medicine such as anatomy, microbiology, pathology and physiology.
