September 17, 2016

New Delhi, Sep 17: Mid-air medical emergencies forced diversion of national carrier Air India's two international flights to airports in Norway and Finland. A flight from New Delhi to Chicago was yesterday diverted to the Bod International Airport in Bode, Norway, due to a medical emergency. Another coming into the city from San Francisco made an unscheduled landing at Finland's Helsinki Airport today, Air India said in a statement today.

air "Air India, yet again, demonstrated its care and concern for passenger safety and wellbeing when the Chicago-bound flight AI 127 of September 16 landed midway at Norway, while flight AI 174 (SFO-Delhi) for today was diverted to the Helsinki airport in Finland to address medical emergencies of the (sick) passengers," it said.

The airline said a passenger on board AI 127 complained of giddiness and was provided all possible medical help. When the passenger's condition did not improve, the pilot decided to seek an emergency landing at the BOD airport in Norway. Upon landing, the passenger was rushed to a hospital.

In another case, AI 174 SFO-Delhi landed at the Helsinki airport when a two-and-a-half years old child accompanied by parents complained of health problem during the flight, it said.

"In close to 24 hours, Air India managed two medical emergencies effectively, giving top most priority to our passengers' wellbeing. I would like to appreciate our crew for managing these situations," airline's Chairman and Managing Director Ashwani Lohani said.

Bengaluru organisation gets US FDA, EU nod for device that can kill COVID-19 virus

News Network

August 2,2020

Bengaluru, Aug 2: Bengaluru based Centre for Advanced Research and Development (CARD), the research wing of organisation De scalene has come up with a device called "SHYCOCAN" (Scalene Hypercharge Corona Canon) which neutralizes the coronavirus.

Speaking to news agency Dr Rajah Vijay Kumar, Chairman, Organisation De Scalene said that the device will not kill any bacteria or fungus, however, neutralizes the coronavirus particles.

"The device was tested for its safety and efficacy and is soon going to be manufactured and marketed in the US under the Enforcement Discretion policy of USFDA and in Europe as the device is CE compliant and is CE marked," said Kumar.

He also added the device will cover a volume of 10,000 cubic feet.

The device Scalene Hypercharge Corona Canon (SHYCOCAN) is intended to be used in the residential, industrial and commercial environment and is designed for active containment by attenuation of Corona family of viruses. (Laboratories de Especialidades Immunological S.A. de C.V, Virucidal Activity concludes 99.9 per cent virus elimination), Kumar asserted.

"SHYCOCAN operates on regular 110/240V - 50/60 Hz wall socket and is a plug and play device, that delivers the necessary signals to a photon mediated electrons emitters (PMEE), that produces hypercharge high-velocity electrons by photon mediation that interacts with the negative seeking S-protein of Corona family of viruses thus reducing infectivity and prevent air and surface borne transmission of corona family of viruses," said Kumar.

The device does not use any chemicals, or any other consumables and does not produce harmful ozone gas or any other substances and is completely safe for use in any environment, he added.

"The attack mechanism of the Virus starts with the initial attachment of the virion to the host cell, it is initiated by interactions between the S-protein and its receptor on the "negative" cell membrane. The sites of receptor binding domains (RBD) within the S1 region of a coronavirus S-protein vary depending on the virus.

The S-protein/receptor interaction is the primary determinant for a coronavirus to infect a host species and governs the tissue tropism of the virus. However, the end result is the fusion and release of the viral genome into the cytoplasm," said Kumar.

He continued saying that the counter mechanism by the device SHYCOCAN is that if negative seeking is the guidance mechanism of the S- Protein, attracted by the transmembrane potential of the host cells, then breaking this mechanism would block the Coronavirus infectivity and spread.

"The device has been in use for more than a year at the S-CARD campus, the headquarters of Scalene," said Kumar.
