"White jelly" in the lungs identified as a symptom of Covid
"Jelly lungs" have been identified in severe CIVID-19 infections.
Given that the first cases of COVID-19 were identified last year in Wuhan, China, it was clear that the highly infectious virus was losing serious damage to the respiratory system, particularly the lungs. Now, researchers have revealed a new fatal respiratory symptom of the virus, it is not visual to the naked eye.
A new study conducted by researchers from the Umeå University in Sweden has the symptoms they identify as "jelly lung", after finding that many deceased people from the virus had a gel-like substance in their lungs. They believe that this discovery will help advance the treatments for the virus and save lives.

Why do they fill the lungs of a substance resembling jelly?
"There are already therapies that slow the production of this jelly of the carrier or break the frost through an enzyme. Our conclusions can also explain why cortisone seems to have an effect on Covid-19", "Urban Hellman, researcher Umeå University, explained in aPress release.
Previous researchers have conducted analyzes of critically ill patients and examined their bodies through autopsies, identifying white spots on their lungs, often filled with a clear liquid jelly, "much like the lungs of someone who s' is drowned, "liberation reads. However, it was not clear where the jelly comes.
The research group Translational Research Center at the Umeå University has identified that the jelly is a substance hyaluronan, a polysaccharide in the glycosaminoglycan group.
"The presence of Hyaluronan is normal in the human body, with different functions in different tissues, but generally acts as a useful feature in the connective tissue," reads the press release. "In particular, Hyaluronan participates in the first stages of wound healing. Hyaluronan is also synthetically produced in the beauty industry for increasing lips and anti-wrinkle treatments."
They explain that Hyaluronan can bind large amounts of water into its long molecule molecules band, then forms a gel-like substance. And it is this process that directs a riot in the lungs of patients of COVID-19 patients, allowing the patient who needs fan care and, in the worst case, die from respiratory failure " , keep on going.

How can this "pulmonary jelly" be healed?
They believe that a medicine called Hymecomone can be effective in preventing this from occurring because it is used to slow the production of hyaluronan into other diseases such as biliary bladder attacks. Other interventions could include enzymes or even cortisones.
"It has already been supposed that promising preliminary results would be linked to the general anti-inflammatory properties of cortisone, but in addition to these beliefs, cortisone can also reduce the production of hyaluronan, which could reduce the amount of frost in the Lungs, "Hellman explains.
