COVID-19 disease with a high rate of contagious and highly nonspecific symptoms, is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. Most people who fall sick with COVID-19 will experience mild to moderate symptoms such as respiratory symptoms, cough, dyspnea, fever, and viral pneumonia and recover without any special cure. However, some others need special and emergency treatment to get rid of this widespread disease. Till now, there are numbers of proposed novel compounds as well as standards therapeutics agent existed for other conditions seems to have efficacy against the 2019-nCoV. Some which are being tested for MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV are validated that could be also efficient against this new coronavirus. However, there are currently no effective specific antivirals or drug combinations introduced for 2019-nCoV specifically that be supported by highlevel evidence. The main purpose of this paper is to review typical and ongoing treatments for coronavirus disease including home remedies, herbal medicine, chemical drugs, plasma therapy, and also vaccinies. In this regards, famous herbal medicines and common chemical drugs which are routinely to be prescribed for patients are introduced. Moreover, a section is assigned to the drug interactions and some outdated drugs which have been proved to be inefficient. We hope that this work could pave the way for researchers to develop faster and more reliable methods for earlier treatment of patients and rescue more people.
Currently there are no effective anti-viral drugs for SARS-CoV-2, so the primary line of defense is to detect infected cases as soon as possible. The high rate of contagion for this virus and the highly nonspecific symptoms of the disease (Coronovirus disease 2019, (Covid-19)) that it causes, such as respiratory symptoms, cough, dyspnea, fever, and viral pneumonia, require the urgent establishment of precise and fast diagnostic tests to verify suspected cases, screen patients, and conduct virus surveillance. Nowadays, several virus detection methods are available for viral diseases, which act on specific properties of each virus or virus family, therefore, further investigations and trials are needed to find a highly efficient and accurate detection method to detect and prevent the outcomes of the disease. Hence, there is an urgent need for more and precise studies in this field. In this review, we discussed the properties of a new generation of coronaviruses (SARS-CoV-2) following routine virus detection methods and proposed new strategies and the use of potential samples for SARS-CoV-2 detection.
Mining affects the environment around the extracted area negatively. As a result, it is vital to rehabilitate mines and reclamate the region to its former natural condition or use the land in an optimized way. The choice of herbal types and planting them to conserve the natural environment of the region and reclamating the mine is of utmost importance. When a case study was conducted in Sarcheshmeh copper mine which is one of the 10 biggest copper mines of the world, plant species were selected according to the initial factors of the rehabilitation scheme, climatic conditions and soil conditions. Then, secondary factors were identified and decision matrices that are based on questionnaires completed by experts, plant species based on regional perspective criteria, resistance to disease and insects, their strength and development, access to the plant species, economic efficiency, soil conservation and water saving, prevention of various types of contamination were all classified according to the multi-criteria decision making methods. It is worth saying that the weights of the criteria are compared with the use of PROMETHEE and Fuzzy TOPSIS methods. The best plant species in the mining area and tailing dam prioritized by PROMETHEE method are mountain almonds (2.28), tamarisk (1.44), ephedra (0.55), pistacia (0.44), Astragalus (-2.22), and salsola (-2.48).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
