Coronavirus a Threat to World…


World Health organization emergency committee decided to declare international public health emergency on 30th January 2020 meeting.  WHO China country office was informed on 31 December, 2019 about a virus which does not match with any other known virus in Wuhan. One week later, Chinese Authorities confirmed that they had identified a new virus named as coronavirus, which is a family of viruses that include common cold, SARS and MERS viruses. WHO and Chinese authority both are working coordinately to find treatment of this virus. 
According to chines officials 170 people have died due to coronavirus. More than eight thousand cases have been confirmed. Thousands of people from different countries are trapped in china to avoid outbreak of coronavirus. Four of and estimated five hundred Pakistani students are already confirmed to have coronavirus.  
Pakistani students in china are requesting Pakistan embassy to their safe escape from china. Families of students are worried about this situation. It is estimated that twenty chines universities are affected with this virus. The US and Japan is already evacuating their citizens from china, and some other countries like Australia, Britain and France are preparing to evacuate their citizens.
There is no case detection of corona virus in Pakistan. But Pakistan is under the threat of coronavirus. Coronavirus is a communicable disease. Pakistan is a neighbor country of China. Thousands of Pakistani lives in China for study purpose and many chines are working on CPEC and living in Pakistan. In this situation a special separated unit for coronavirus patients is constructed in Benazir Bhutto hospital Rawalpindi. 
Pakistan needed to take more special measure like separation units, diagnostic facilities and treatment facilities provision. Special diagnostic tests should be designed for the people travelling from China to Pakistan. Federal ministry of health with the help of public health officers should make early planning to control this situation.

Mosquito eyes

 Mosquitoes, like many other insects, have compound eyes. Compound eyes are made up of numerous individual photoreceptor units called ommatidia. Each ommatidium consists of a lens, a cornea, a crystalline cone, and a light-sensitive receptor cell.  Mosquito compound eyes are typically large in proportion to their body size and are positioned on the sides of their head. They have a spherical shape and provide mosquitoes with a wide field of vision, allowing them to detect movement in different directions.  The compound eyes of mosquitoes are designed primarily for detecting changes in light intensity and movement rather than forming detailed images. Each ommatidium captures a small part of the overall image, and the mosquito's brain processes the input from multiple ommatidia to form a composite picture of its surroundings. Mosquitoes are attracted to certain stimuli such as heat, carbon dioxide, and chemicals in human sweat, which help them locate potential hosts for blood meals. T

Contact lens parameters

 Contact lenses are medical devices that are worn directly on the cornea of the eye to correct vision or for cosmetic purposes. There are various parameters associated with contact lenses that are important for fitting and prescribing the right lenses for individuals. Here are some common parameters: 1. Power (Refraction): Contact lenses are available in different powers to correct nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism, and presbyopia. The power is measured in diopters (D) and can be positive (+) or negative (-) depending on the type of vision correction needed. 2. Base Curve (BC): The base curve determines the curvature of the contact lens. It is typically measured in millimeters (mm) and represents the curvature of the inner surface of the lens. The base curve is chosen to match the curvature of the cornea for proper fit and comfort. 3. Diameter (DIA): The diameter of a contact lens is the measurement across the lens from edge to edge. It is usually measur

Base Curve of contact Lens

Image
The base curve of a contact lens refers to the curvature of the back surface of the lens. It is measured in millimeters and is one of the main characteristics of a contact lens. The base curve is important because it determines how well the lens will fit on the eye. A lens with a base curve that is too flat may not conform to the shape of the eye and may cause discomfort or irritation. On the other hand, a lens with a base curve that is too steep may be difficult to insert and remove and may cause lens dislocation or other problems. To find the right base curve for a contact lens, an optometrist will measure the curvature of the eye using a tool called a keratometer. This instrument measures the curvature of the front surface of the eye (the cornea) and helps the optometrist determine the appropriate base curve for the lens. In addition to the base curve, other factors that can affect the fit and comfort of a contact lens include the diameter of the lens and the material o
