London, December 22 : A team of researchers are combining new technologies to discover unique patterns of blood plasma proteins in critically ill patients that may help develop a more personalised approach to treating severe Covid-19, a new study has shown.
According to the study published in the Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, the proteins being studied, called the “plasma proteome”, are released by cells that often play a key role in the body’s immune response to viruses.

To conduct the study, blood samples were taken from 30 subjects in three patient groups at London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC). One group had patients with Covid-19, another group had patients with severe infection but were negative for Covid-19, and the third was a healthy control group.
“We collected plasma from these patients and measured well over a thousand proteins with great accuracy using new technology that combines immunology and genomics,” said Dr Douglas Fraser, Lawson Scientist, Critical Care Physician at Children’s Hospital at LHSC. COVID-19: Over 6 in 10 Indians Avoiding Coronavirus Vaccine’s Booster Shot Due to Heart Attack Fears, Says Report.
“With the use of this advanced technology, we were able to better analyse the protein patterns and better understand what is happening with Covid-19, especially in critically ill patients,” he added.
The researchers discovered that Covid-19 patients had changes in immunosuppression pathways, which normally keep the immune system in balance, the study revealed.
The changes were heightened in critically ill patients. The plasma proteome analysis assisted researchers in determining which cells in the body are active during the disease state and which signalling pathways were activated.
“In-depth analysis of the human plasma proteome helps us capture tissue proteins that can provide us with information regarding organ integrity during infection,” said Cristiana Iosef, Lawson Research Associate.
“This is important because it will allow us to search for new blood biomarkers that are specific for Covid-19 patients,” she added. Moreover, Dr Fraser commented that the team can now examine potential new drug therapies with the hopes of improving outcomes for these patients.

New Delhi [India], November 22: Leaving behind their bullet-proof vehicles, four US woman diplomats have taken to the streets of the capital with their “personalized auto-rickshaws” in their “out-of-the-box” diplomacy style. Ann L Mason, Ruth Holmberg, Shareen J Kitterman and Jennifer Bywaters love to go with their Black and Pink three-wheelers by driving themselves for all their work including the ‘official trips’. These diplomats have taken to the common man’s commute not just for fun, but also to set an example.
Speaking to ANI, the diplomats shared their experience of learning this distinct mode of transport and how diplomats driving the auto-rickshaws is a rare exception! “From Detroit to my auto rickshaw, I’ve had a lifelong love of vehicles and so everywhere I’ve been there’s been something special about a vehicle but really none more special in my opinion than an autorickshaw. When I was in Pakistan, before coming to India, I was in armoured vehicles and they were big, beautiful vehicles. But I would always look out on the street and I would see the autorickshaws going by and I always wanted to be in the autorickshaw. So when I got to India and had the opportunity to buy one, I took it immediately”, said Ann L Mason to ANI. ‘World Recognizes India’s Compulsions and Interest’: Ex-diplomat.
Diplomacy on the Road:
“For me it was terrifying. Yes, learning to drive the autorickshaw was completely new for me. I had never driven any vehicle with a clutch, never driven a motorcycle only automatic cars, my whole life”, she said when asked about how hard was it to learn, maintain an auto and get a license. On being asked about her inspiration behind the idea, Ann said that her mother is her inspiration who inspired her to take chances and experiment in life.
“My inspiration is my mother, my mother always took chances. She travelled around the world, she was in the Vietnam War and she did so much with her life. Life and she always taught me to do interesting things and take a chance because one you might not get another opportunity and two you never know what you might experience. My daughter also drives the autorickshaw and so learning from them every day, the interesting things that how they see the world”, she added.

Her personalized black autorickshaw has a Bluetooth device and a curtain printed with the image of a tiger. She has taken special care to personalize her autorickshaw, nicknamed KITT, in homage to the 1980s’ show “Knight Rider”. Shareen J Kitterman, born in the south Indian state of Karnataka and holding US citizenship flaunts her pink autorickshaws with flower magnets, said that she was inspired by the Mexican Ambassador who too had an auto with a driver. She has also tied colourful tassels to both sides of her auto and stuck flags of the United States and India near the windshield.
“When I was in US planning to come to New Delhi, I’d heard about the Mexican Ambassador. Ten years ago, she had an auto and she had a driver. That’s when I started thinking about it. When I came here, I saw Ann who had an auto, so when I own an auto, I want to drive it. So, that was my whole goal”, said Shareen. Mexican Ambassador Melba Pria was the one who started the trend when she made a white-coloured rick her official vehicle.
On being asked that about the celebration of 75 years of relationship between both countries and she sees herself bridging the gap, Shareen said that she understands the Indian and the American way of functioning and that the embassies show respect for each other’s culture.”It’s truly an honour to be able to serve my adopted country in the country of my birth. All my experiences growing up in India and then being an immigrant in US and then naturalizing and becoming a diplomat are all the various experiences that I feel I bring to my personal and professional life. I get involved in many projects because I feel like I can truly form that bridge. I do understand the Indian way of thinking and functioning, and I also understand the American way. So, one of the simple things I’ve done in the embassy is a lot of work notices, management notices used to be published in English only and now we publish both in English and Hindi. I think it’s my way, and our embassy’s way of showing respect for the culture and language of the local staff as well at the host country”, added Shareen.
Discovering the hustle and bustle of the city, Ruth Holmberg with her ‘black beauty’, goes to the market and meets people which she called her way of ‘diplomacy’. “I enjoy driving the auto very much and I love it when other women see that I am driving it and I like that they see this possibility for them as well. For me, diplomacy is not all that high level. Diplomacy is people meeting people, people getting to know each other, and getting a chance to build relationships and that’s what I can do with the auto. I meet people every day. On my way from my work, going to the market. I know the vendors in my area, and I know people in the market .. they are all excited to see me at the market with the auto. They come and introduce themselves and with that, I am able to build that one on one relationship and I think that is a very important part of diplomacy”, said Ruth Holmberg from inside her black rick.
Explaining the experience of her journey, Jennifer Bywaters said that she got to see the good side of the people on the road who helped her and you need to have fun and be brave enough to think out of the box. “When I got to be in Delhi, I met Ann and after riding in her auto, I decided that I needed this vehicle too. I get to see the local perspective, more of the humanity. Some of the people helped me since I started driving the auto-rickshaw and so I saw the good side of the people in Delhi” said Jennifer.
Accustomed to the riding, she added that the hardest part was navigating around other auto-rickshaws but learning how to drive wasn’t difficult. “Learning wasn’t difficult. I am used to driving a clutch so that part was easy and the hardest part of driving in Delhi is navigating around animals, bicycles and other auto-rickshaws. But I would say that have fun and be brave! Think outside the box and you do not need to do things as they have always been done”, she added.

New Delhi: Google Assistant will soon recognise your voice as the company is working on a personalised speech recognition feature. According to 9to5Google, the tool will help Google Assistant get “better at recognising your frequent words and names.” The “Personalised speech recognition” feature will appear in Google Assistant settings. Google Reportedly Delays Its Pixel Notepad Foldable Phone to 2023.
The feature description reads: “Store audio recordings on this device to help Google Assistant get better at recognising what you say. Audio stays on this device and can be deleted any time by turning off personalised speech recognition”.
The upcoming feature looks to expand AT and ML-based improvements beyond “Hey Google” to your actual Assistant commands, “especially those with names (using your voice to message contacts) and frequently spoken words”.
It’s still not clear when this capability will launch. The feature will allow more advanced recognition of commands and contact names. Owing to privacy concerns, Google will give users an option in settings to opt out of the personalised speech recognition if they don’t want their voice to be stored.
The virtual assistant software application can now also warn users when they need to change their password, and can even help them change it. The company had said the new experience would roll out gradually, but it is only about now that more than a handful of users have started to get it on their devices.
