Super Computer Analyzing Covid-19 & Potential Treatments

Oak Ridge National Laboratories in Tennessee has used their super computer (second fastest in the world) to uncover a new theory about how Covid-19 impacts the body. The hypothesis provides a model that explains many aspects of Covid-19. It also suggests 10-plus potential treatments, many of which are already FDA approved.

The renin–angiotensin system (RAS) controls many aspects of the circulatory system, including the body’s levels of a chemical called bradykinin, which normally helps to regulate blood pressure. According to the team’s analysis, when the [Corona] virus tweaks the RAS, it causes the body’s mechanisms for regulating bradykinin to go haywire. Bradykinin receptors are resensitized, and the body also stops effectively breaking down bradykinin. (ACE normally degrades bradykinin, but when the virus downregulates it, it can’t do this as effectively.)

The end result, the researchers say, is to release a bradykinin storm — a massive, runaway buildup of bradykinin in the body. According to the bradykinin hypothesis, it’s this storm that is ultimately responsible for many of Covid-19’s deadly effects. Jacobson’s team says in their paper that “the pathology of Covid-19 is likely the result of Bradykinin Storms rather than cytokine storms,” which had been previously identified in Covid-19 patients, but that “the two may be intricately linked.” Other papers had previously identified bradykinin storms as a possible cause of Covid-19’s pathologies.

Waist Circumference and Prostate Cancer

Dr Aurora Perez-Cornago [Oxford], who led the study, said: “We found a significant association between concentration of body fat around the belly and waist and the risk of prostate cancer death, but no clear association between total body fat and risk of prostate cancer death.

“However, a larger number of cases in this study together with studies in other populations are needed to confirm these findings.”

She added: “A high BMI increases the risk of other diseases, including other types of cancer, so people should consider the implications of excess body fat wherever it is found in the body.”

Dr Perez-Cornago explained that waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio were a better marker of “visceral fat” than BMI.

“This is the most dangerous fat because this fat is located around the vital organs,” she said.

“It’s associated with metabolic and hormonal dysfunction and this is what may play a role in prostate cancer progression.”

She said the message to men was to exercise and eat a healthy diet to ensure they maintain a healthy weight and lower waist circumference.
