A Meta-Analysis of COVID-19. This meta-analysis does not provide all of the answers regarding the appropriate course of action but is intended to help provide clarity assessing many of the MEDICAL considerations at play in the current pandemic. A responsible course of action addressing this pandemic must balance out a range of interconnected Medical, Economic and Social considerations.
This presentation provides an overview of COVID-19. It discusses the introduction of the virus, its structure and modes of transmission. It outlines the clinical presentation and diagnostic methods used. Prevention strategies discussed include personal protection measures and community involvement. Treatment currently focuses on isolation and supportive care as there is no cure. Globally, cases and deaths continue to rise with the US and several European countries most impacted. India's strategy included an early lockdown and producing hydroxychloroquine. The presentation notes some positive environmental impacts but also discusses conflicts around the origins and spread of the virus. It concludes that the situation remains serious and prevention relies on individual responsibility.
This document discusses the COVID-19 pandemic and potential treatments for the disease. It notes that COVID-19 has led to a national emergency in the US with significant health and economic impacts. Currently, there is no cure for COVID-19 and the disease spectrum varies from asymptomatic to severe cases requiring ICU care. The document explores the pathogenesis of the virus and notes that a "cytokine storm" may be a key driver of organ damage. It reviews several potential treatments under investigation including vaccines, antiviral medications, and stem cell therapies. It highlights reports from China and Italy using expanded umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) to treat COVID-19 and argues they may be considered for compassionate
COVID-19: Knowledge Base, Attitudes and Practices among Practising Journalist...Premier Publishers
The document discusses a study that examined the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of journalists in Abuja, Nigeria regarding COVID-19. The study utilized the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) model to assess how journalists' knowledge impacted their attitudes and behaviors related to COVID-19 protocols. The study found that journalists had generally good knowledge of COVID-19, which positively influenced their attitudes. However, their knowledge did not strongly correlate with adopting recommended practices. The study suggests journalists must follow public health protocols to effectively spread COVID-19 information to the public and encourage adherence to containment measures.
This document summarizes a research paper that surveys the use of deep learning and medical image processing techniques for detecting and responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. It discusses how deep learning has been applied to medical image analysis for various healthcare applications. It then reviews state-of-the-art research applying deep learning to COVID-19 medical imaging for detection and diagnosis. It also presents examples of this approach being used in China, Korea, and Canada. Finally, it discusses challenges and opportunities for further improving deep learning for COVID-19 medical imaging.
At the end of December 2019, Chinese authorities reported an outbreak of acute respiratory syndrome in Wuhan, China caused by a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). On January 30, 2020 the WHO declared it a Public Health Emergency of International Concern and on March 11 a pandemic. There are now over 2.9 million confirmed cases globally with over 200,000 deaths across 213 countries/areas. The US has the most cases while Europe is currently the epidemic center. Risk is considered moderate for the general population but very high for elderly and healthcare systems.
The document discusses the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) that has become a worldwide threat. It provides an overview of the virus for emergency clinicians, including its epidemiology, prevention, and treatment. Key points are that the case fatality rate is approximately 4% but sampling error may be large, 29% of confirmed cases in China are healthcare workers suggesting alarming nosocomial spread, and gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea are common and associated with worse outcomes. Lessons can be learned from early outbreak centers in preparing local healthcare systems for high patient volumes requiring respiratory support.

This document provides guidelines from the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) for the management of cryptococcal disease. A group of medical mycology experts reviewed and updated the previous 2000 IDSA guidelines. The guidelines discuss management of cryptococcal meningitis in three at-risk groups and make recommendations for other sites of infection. Key principles include induction therapy with fungicidal regimens followed by suppressive therapy, early recognition and treatment of increased intracranial pressure and immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome, and use of lipid formulations of amphotericin B for patients with renal impairment. While cryptococcosis remains challenging, adherence to these guidelines can lead to successful management for most patients.

A global health issue that is affecting not only the US but the health community globally is the COVID-19 pandemic. Most individuals infected with the COVID-19 virus experience mild to moderate respiratory symptoms and recover without requiring special treatment. Older adults, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and chronic respiratory disease are more likely to have serious symptoms that require hospitalization. The primary mode of transmission is through droplets of saliva and discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes (World Health Organization, n.d.). Hospitals and healthcare systems globally are facing financial challenges due to the pandemic. Shortage of supplies include personal protective equipment, hospital equipment, and sanitization supplies. The major contributing factor for the strain felt on health systems internationally were due to a lack of preparedness to handle a large pandemic. Many hospitals asked their community for donations of PPE. Many health care professionals were forced to reuse elements of PPE (Kaye et al., 2020). Health care delivery systems are working collectively to address the current pandemic, and be more prepared for a large-scale pandemic in the future. Stakeholders include organizations such as WHO and the CDC, the countries affected by the pandemic, leaders in health care, and political leaders.
Using 200-300 words APA format with references in supporting the discussion.

Are Vitamin D Levels Associated with COVID 19 Prevalence and Outcomesijtsrd
Since December 2019, coronavirus infection disease 2019 COVID 19 due to a new coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome type 2 SARS CoV2 infection, occurred mainly in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, and spread worldwide throughout a short period of time. The COVID 19 pandemic is shaking the world. To date, the route of infection, treatment methods, and the process since infection have not been clarified. Therefore, various researches and studies are being carried out at a rapid pace in research institutions around the world to clarify the novel coronavirus. Vitamin D helps to balance calcium and helps maintain bone health. Vitamin D is considered to be physiologically effective for enhancing immunity, cancer, diabetes, autism, and making the body easy to conceive. Recent studies have reported an association between the amount of vitamin D in the body and the severity of COVID 19. In this review, we provide a compact, comprehensive description of the relationship between vitamin D and COVID 19.

Sweden approached Coronavirus differently than the U.S. It's been called "The Sweden Experiment."
Instead of quarantining everyone Sweden quarantined the sick and recommended, but did not require, that the vulnerable stay isolated too.
What's interesting is Sweden's approach is not an experiment, it's what has always been done. Never in history have we closed businesses and forced everyone to stay at home.
Instead, we have isolated the sick and warned the vulnerable, exactly what Sweden is doing.
It's too early to tell whether "The Sweden Experiment" is the right approach, but one thing is for sure, Sweden is not conducting the experiment, we are.
On behalf of the millions of closed businesses and unemployed workers, let's hope we're right.

The document discusses the impact and spread of COVID-19 in Indonesia. It provides details on the first confirmed cases in Indonesia, the increasing number of total cases and deaths, as well as the government's decision to ease restrictions on places of worship and other sectors despite ongoing community transmission. The pandemic has forced people to adapt to a "new normal" with increased use of technology. Overall, the document examines the seriousness of the COVID-19 outbreak in Indonesia.
The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly impacted detection, treatment, and control of HIV and TB globally. Resources and focus have shifted towards Covid-19 testing and treatment, leading to an estimated 300,000 missed TB cases in Nigeria alone. Lockdowns and fear of infection have reduced hospital visits for HIV and TB patients. Disruptions to the supply chains of generic drug manufacturers in China threaten medication access in low and middle income countries, which could lead to 500,000 additional HIV deaths. Recommendations include multi-month drug dispensing, telemedicine, and building buffer stocks of key materials.

Lockdowns and fear of infection have also reduced rates of HIV and TB testing and treatment. Supply chain disruptions from China, where many generic drug manufacturers obtain raw materials, risk shortages of antiretroviral drugs. This could lead to increased HIV-related deaths, as treatment interruptions reactivate the virus and increase susceptibility to opportunistic infections like TB. Increased use of telemedicine, multi-month drug dispensing, and supply chain diversification are recommended to mitigate these

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

DNMC, Dr. Nik's Management of Coronavirus, is Helping Reduce COVID Patient's Morbidity and Mortality
1. For Immediate Release
DNMC, Dr. Nik's Management of Coronavirus, is Helping Reduce COVID Patient's
Morbidity and Mortality
American Critical Care Specialist And “COVID Chaser” Has Saved Countless COVID Patients
With “Common Sense Medicine”.
New York, NY - USA | December 28, 2020 -- Dr. Kiki Hurt (aka Dr. Nik) is a Critical Care Specialist,
Anesthesiologist and Internal Medicine Physician who has developed a simple method in treating his
COVID patients. In early 2020, Dr. Nik became a “COVID chaser” and has been hired by numerous
American hospitals because of their staff being overwhelmed with the virus and a shortage of medical
staff and Intensivists. The shortage was so great, that Dr. Nik even saw his friends like Dr. Sophia Gill (a
renowned Doctor of Veterinarian Medicine) called in to assist with COVID patents.
In March of 2020, Dr. Nik arrived in New York City and was devastated to see rooms filled with body
bags and freezer trucks outside the hospital filled with COVID casualties. During the next nine months
Dr. Nik’s colleagues encouraged him to treat COVID patients with medications that the media and other
doctors insisted were the cure, such as Hydroxychloroquine, Remdesivir, and convalescent plasma
therapy. After carefully monitoring the unsuccessful effects of these treatments, Dr. Nik discovered that
many patients that were emitted into the ER were dying from causes that were unrelated to the
coronavirus.
Patient's died in the beginning but after a short time, Dr. Nik's ICU patients were getting better and
many transferred to step down units in the hospital. Dr. Nik calls his strategy DMNC (Dr. Nik’s
Management of Coronavirus), which protects patient’s vital organs before the virus could get there. “I
realized quickly that some patients that were COVID-19 positive were being misdiagnosed with various
diseases which were actually treatable.”, says Dr. Nik. “Many COVID patients are dying because the
world is focusing too much on the virus!” His method is to stop focusing on the virus and use “common
sense medicine” and remarkably to date, Dr. Nik’s methods have decreased his COVID patient’s
morbidity and mortality.
2. Dr. Nik is also a successful author and entertainment producer who has been featured in major media
outlets such as The Huffington Post but today his main focus is to get the world’s attention and save the
lives of all who will listen to his solution to end this worldwide pandemic.
