1) In late December 2019, a cluster of pneumonia cases of unknown cause was reported in Wuhan, China and was later identified as a new coronavirus (nCovid-19).
2) The virus spread rapidly from person to person and caused a pandemic. Common symptoms included fever, cough, and shortness of breath.
3) By January 2020, the WHO had set up an incident management team and was providing regular updates on the outbreak and risk assessment as cases spread beyond China.
Antibiotic use may raise risk of type 2 Diabetes
The document summarizes a study that found people who filled 5 or more antibiotic prescriptions during a 12-year period in Denmark had over a 50% increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The risks were slightly higher for narrow-spectrum and bactericidal antibiotics. The increased risk may be due to antibiotics disrupting gut bacteria in ways that reduce the body's ability to metabolize sugar, a characteristic of type 2 diabetes. Overuse of antibiotics contributes to antibiotic-resistant bacteria strains that are harder to treat.
Does Liuzijue Qigong affect anxiety in patients with chronic obstructive pulm...
Abstract Background: Anxiety is a common comorbidity associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but no well-recognized method can provide effective relief. Liuzijue Qigong (LQG) is a traditional Chinese fitness method, based on breath pronunciation. This study aimed to examine the efficacy of LQG to relieve anxiety in COPD patients and to explore the factors that influence anxiety, including whether LQG is effective during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. Methods: We conducted an open-label, randomized, controlled, clinical trial. A total of 60 patients with stable COPD were randomly assigned to two groups. Both groups were given routine medical treatment, and the patients in the pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) group were given an extra intervention in the form of LQG, performed for 30 minutes each day for 12 weeks. Data collection was performed at baseline and 12 weeks (during the COVID-19 epidemic). The primary outcomes were the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) scores, and the secondary outcomes were relevant information during the epidemic and analyses of the related factors that influenced SAS scores during the COVID-19 outbreak. Results: Compared with baseline, patients in both groups demonstrated varying degrees of improvements in their SAS scores (all P < 0.01). An analysis of covariance, adjusted for baseline scores, indicated that the SAS scores improved more dramatically in the PR group than in the control group (F = 9.539, P = 0.004). During the outbreak, the SAS scores for sleep disorder were higher than all other factors, reaching 1.38 ± 0.67, and the scores for “I can breathe in and out easily” for the PR group were lower than the scores for the control group (Z = −2.108, P = 0.035). Significant differences were identified between the two groups for the categories “How much has the outbreak affected your life”, “Do you practice LQG during the epidemic” and “Do you practice other exercises during the epidemic” (all P < 0.05). Compared with current reports, LQG had a relatively high adherence rate (80.95%). A multiple linear regression analysis revealed multiple predictors for SAS scores during the outbreak: group (b = −3.907, t = −3.824, P < 0.001), COPD assessment test score (b = 0.309, t = 2.876, P = 0.006), SAS score at baseline (b = 0.189, t = 3.074, P = 0.004), and living in a village (b = 4.886, t = 2.085, P = 0.043). Conclusion: LQG could effectively reduce the risks of anxiety among COPD patients, even during the COVID-19 outbreak. For those COPD patients with high COPD assessment test and high baseline SAS scores or who live in villages, we should reinforce the management and intervention of psychological factors during the epidemic.
Efeito cloroquina covid19
Chloroquine phosphate, an old antimalarial drug, has shown efficacy against COVID-19 in preliminary clinical trials in China with no severe adverse side effects reported. Based on these results, Chinese authorities are recommending chloroquine be included in their national treatment guidelines for COVID-19 as a potential treatment option due to its apparent effectiveness and low cost. Further research is still needed but chloroquine may provide an affordable approach to reducing the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Doubt is crucial in science—in the version we call curiosity or healthy skepticism, it drives science forward—but it also makes science vulnerable to misrepresentation, because it is easy to take uncertainties out of context and create the impression that everything is unresolved. This was the tobacco industry's key insight: that you could use normal scientific uncertainty to undermine the status of actual scientific knowledge. Individual clinicians cannot single-handedly combat this kind of antiscience, a climate that has only been fostered by some political and religious leaders and by the social media.
But at the very least, we can make our patients aware of the forces at play and the mind games that such merchants of doubt employ.

1) The document discusses recommendations for pediatric dentists regarding dental treatment of children during the COVID-19 pandemic. It notes that children often have mild or no symptoms of COVID-19 infection and may play a major role in viral transmission.
2) For dental emergencies involving children, the document recommends phone screening, personal protective equipment, limiting aerosol-generating procedures, disinfection of the clinical setting, and postponing routine treatments.
3) Pediatric dentists are advised to maintain a high level of awareness to help patients, minimize risk, and prevent further viral spread, as dental practice may need to be reorganized to ensure higher safety standards during the pandemic.

End tb strategy
Dr. Himalaya Singh presented on the End TB Strategy. Tuberculosis (TB) places a heavy burden on the world's poor and vulnerable populations. The Sustainable Development Goals and WHO End TB Strategy aim to reduce TB deaths by 90% and lower the incidence rate by 80% by 2030 compared to 2015 levels. In 2015, there were an estimated 10.4 million new TB cases worldwide, with over half in men and 11% co-occurring with HIV. The End TB Strategy outlines pillars and principles to reach targets through a multi-sectoral approach focusing on integrated patient-centered care and prevention.
Why Measles Outbreak Continues in Many Parts of the World
Despite massive immunization efforts, measles outbreaks continue in many parts of the world due to stagnating vaccination campaigns. In 2018, 140,000 people died from measles globally, a 167% increase from 2016. For a geographical area to prevent outbreaks, 95% of the population must be immunized, but in 2018 only 86% received the first dose and less than 70% received the second dose of the measles vaccine. Around 19.2 million infants worldwide did not receive the first dose in 2018, with Nigeria, India, Pakistan, Ethiopia, and the Philippines having the highest numbers of unvaccinated infants. The goal of vaccinating 90% of the population by 2015 set by the World Health Assembly was
Beyond DOTS
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global public health issue, killing over 2 million people annually. The Directly Observed Treatment Short-course (DOTS) strategy was developed in 1995 as the recommended approach for controlling TB, focusing on detecting 70% of cases and successfully treating 85% of patients. While DOTS has helped cure over 32 million people, global targets have yet to be achieved due to difficulties detecting all cases. The Practical Approach to Lung Health (PAL) was created to integrate TB screening and management into primary care for respiratory symptoms, with the goal of improving quality of care and efficiency in addressing TB and other lung diseases.

This document summarizes a research article that evaluates the therapeutic efficacy of antiretroviral drugs used to clinically manage HIV/AIDS infection. It discusses how protease inhibitors and fusion inhibitors work as potent antiretroviral drugs. However, persistent virus production can still occur due to sub-inhibitory drug levels in infected cells or host immune failure, allowing drug-resistant mutants to emerge and dominate, leading to viral rebound and therapy failure. The review aims to provide knowledge to improve antiretroviral drug administration programs.The end tb strategy

COVID 19
Coronaviruses are important human and animal pathogens. At the end of 2019, a novel coronavirus was identified as the cause of a cluster of pneumonia cases in Wuhan, in the Hubei Province of China. It is rapidly spreading, resulting in an epidemic throughout china, followed by an increasing number of cases in other countries throughout the world. In February 2020, the WHO designated the disease COVID 19, which stands for corona viruses 2019. The virus that causes COVID 19 is designated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 SARS COV 2 previously, it was referred to as 2019 nCoV.

This document discusses tuberculosis (TB), its management and treatment strategies in Indonesia. It provides definitions and background on TB, noting it is a bacterial infection that can be difficult to diagnose, especially in children. It requires long-term multi-drug therapy that some have issues adhering to, and drug resistance is a concern. TB management in Indonesia involves both public and private healthcare providers using national guidelines. Sub-standard TB care can lead to misdiagnosis, mistreatment, poor patient outcomes, continued transmission, and the development of drug resistance. The DOTS strategy developed by WHO involves standardized short-course treatment regimens directly observed by healthcare workers to improve adherence and outcomes. It has proven effective globally in treating over 56 million

The document summarizes epidemiological data on tuberculosis (TB) in Italy and globally. It notes that the TB notification rate in Italy decreased by 7.7% from 2007 to 2012. In 2012, 58.3% of Italian TB cases were in foreign-born individuals and the rate of multi-drug resistant TB was 3%. Globally in 2012, there were an estimated 8.6 million incident TB cases and 1.3 million deaths, with South-East Asia and Africa accounting for most cases and deaths. Major ongoing challenges include TB/HIV co-infection, multi-drug resistant TB, and improving detection of "missing" TB cases.

This document summarizes the history, diagnosis, treatment, and control of tuberculosis (TB). It outlines the key events in TB history from 1882 to modern strategies. TB can present as primary, latent, reactivated, or extra pulmonary forms. Diagnosis involves microscopy, culture, molecular tests, and drug susceptibility testing. Treatment follows standard short-course regimens under direct observation. Control relies on detection, treatment, contact investigation, and isolation following DOTS and STOP TB strategies with standardized recording and political/financial support.
Tuberculosis in india
Tuberculosis (TB) poses a major burden in India, where it is the leading infectious killer. TB control activities have been implemented in India for over 50 years through programs like the National TB Program and the Revised National TB Control Programme. However, India still has a large number of active TB cases. The government has launched various initiatives to work toward eliminating TB in India by 2025, five years ahead of the global target, through improved detection, treatment, prevention, and strengthening of TB control programs and infrastructure.

34% of people living with HIV in the African Region were infected with TB in 2016. HIV greatly increases the risk of developing active TB disease, and the two diseases form a lethal combination that accelerates the other's progression. In 2016, 320,000 people in Africa died from HIV-associated TB. WHO recommends a 12 part approach including prevention and treatment actions to reduce deaths from the deadly combination of HIV and TB.

This document describes the experience of a hospital laboratory in Italy producing disinfectants and antiseptics during the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to high demand from hospitals, the laboratory started producing these products when pharmaceutical industries could not meet the need. The laboratory produced WHO-recommended formulations of ethanol and isopropanol-based hand rubs in-house. Quality control measures were implemented to test alcohol concentration, hydrogen peroxide content, and ensure sterility. The experience demonstrated that local production could help address shortages and control the spread of infection during public health emergencies.COVID-19 and COVID-19 Vaccination in Pregnancy

Public health involves protecting and improving community health through education, policymaking, and research. It is a multidisciplinary field that applies biology, social sciences, and other areas to address health problems. An epidemic affects a large number of people within a community, while a pandemic spreads over multiple countries or continents. In India, public health focuses on prevention and has led to improved health outcomes such as reduced mortality, control of diseases like polio and tetanus, and use of digital tools to track health programs.
COVID 19 A Scoping Review
This article provides a review of COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019), the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. It discusses the epidemiology, causes, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and prevention/control of COVID-19. Key points include that COVID-19 symptoms can range from mild to severe/fatal, with the elderly and those with preexisting conditions most at risk of complications. Diagnosis is via PCR tests of respiratory samples. While there are no approved vaccines or treatments yet, prevention focuses on avoiding exposure, hand washing, and other hygiene/social distancing practices. The aim is to increase awareness and understanding of this ongoing public health threat.
End tb strategy
The document outlines The End TB Strategy, which provides a global strategy and targets for tuberculosis prevention, care, and control after 2015. It establishes a vision of a world free of tuberculosis with zero deaths, disease, and suffering from tuberculosis. The goal is to end the global tuberculosis epidemic. Milestones for 2025 include reducing tuberculosis deaths by 75% and reducing the tuberculosis incidence rate by 50% compared to 2015 levels. Targets for 2035 are a 95% reduction in tuberculosis deaths and a 90% reduction in the tuberculosis incidence rate compared to 2015 levels. The strategy aims to achieve these targets through three pillars - integrated patient-centered care and prevention, bold policies and supportive systems, and intensified research and innovation.

Role of Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine in COVID 19(SARS-Cornovirus)
This document discusses potential drug treatments for COVID-19, including ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, and azithromycin. Regarding ivermectin, an in vitro study found that a single dose could kill COVID-19 within 48 hours. Hydroxychloroquine has shown anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity in vitro and has a better safety profile than chloroquine. A small clinical trial found that hydroxychloroquine treatment was associated with reduced viral loads in COVID-19 patients, and that adding azithromycin further improved virus elimination. While preliminary, these studies suggest ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, and azithromycin may warrant further research

This document discusses tuberculosis (TB), its management and treatment strategies in Indonesia. It provides definitions and background on TB, noting it is a bacterial infection that can be difficult to diagnose, especially in children. It requires long-term multi-drug therapy that some have issues adhering to, and drug resistance is a concern. TB management in Indonesia involves both public and private healthcare providers using national guidelines. Sub-standard TB care can lead to misdiagnosis, mistreatment, poor patient outcomes, continued transmission, and the development of drug resistance. The DOTS strategy developed by WHO involves standardized short-course treatment regimens directly observed by healthcare workers to improve adherence and outcomes. It has proven effective globally in treating over 56 million

This document summarizes the history, diagnosis, treatment, and control of tuberculosis (TB). It outlines the key events in TB history from 1882 to modern strategies. TB can present as primary, latent, reactivated, or extra pulmonary forms. Diagnosis involves microscopy, culture, molecular tests, and drug susceptibility testing. Treatment follows standard short-course regimens under direct observation. Control relies on detection, treatment, contact investigation, and isolation following DOTS and STOP TB strategies with standardized recording and political/financial support.
Tuberculosis in india
Tuberculosis (TB) poses a major burden in India, where it is the leading infectious killer. TB control activities have been implemented in India for over 50 years through programs like the National TB Program and the Revised National TB Control Programme. However, India still has a large number of active TB cases. The government has launched various initiatives to work toward eliminating TB in India by 2025, five years ahead of the global target, through improved detection, treatment, prevention, and strengthening of TB control programs and infrastructure.

Role of Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine in COVID 19(SARS-Cornovirus)
This document discusses potential drug treatments for COVID-19, including ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, and azithromycin. Regarding ivermectin, an in vitro study found that a single dose could kill COVID-19 within 48 hours. Hydroxychloroquine has shown anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity in vitro and has a better safety profile than chloroquine. A small clinical trial found that hydroxychloroquine treatment was associated with reduced viral loads in COVID-19 patients, and that adding azithromycin further improved virus elimination. While preliminary, these studies suggest ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, and azithromycin may warrant further research

Drugs being used in the treatment of confirmed covid 19 cases
- 1. Drugs Being Used in the Treatment of Confirmed COVID 19 Cases The novel coronavirus that originated in Wuhan, China, in 2019, has now engulfed the entire world. With millions of people infected, global healthcare systems are overburdened with patients requiring treatment for symptoms that range from the moderate to the severe. Countries have implemented lockdown measures and enforced social distancing to tackle the spread of the disease. Till date, no vaccine has been found for this strain of the coronavirus. As such, our best hopes lie in the successful management and treatment of suspect and confirmed COVID 19 cases. In this article, we will look at the drugs that are being currently used for the treatment of confirmed COVID 19 cases. Hydroxychloroquine Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is an anti-malarial drug that has been approved for prophylactic use in asymptomatic healthcare workers deployed at the frontline of the COVID 19 pandemic. India is the world’s largest producer of HCQ, manufacturing around 70% of the global supply of this important drug. HCQ is also prescribed to asymptomatic family members of confirmed COVID 19 cases. It is important to note that HCQ is not suitable for treating patients who are below 15 years of age and pregnant and breastfeeding women. Remdesivir Remdesivir is an antiviral drug that has received approval for the treatment of severe cases of COVID 19 seen in adults and children. Remdesivir works by preventing the virus from replicating. Remdesivir was originally developed in response to the Ebola virus, but showed limited response in treatment of Ebola. Studies are still being conducted to understand the complete role that Remdesivir can play in the treatment of confirmed COVID 19 cases. Current research indicates that this drug performs best when administered in combination with other medicines to holistically manage symptoms of the novel coronavirus.
- 2. Clinical Trials At present, India has begun trials of convalescent plasma therapy on COVID 19 patients with critical symptoms. So far, the results are looking positive. The drug Favipiravir is also being tested for its efficacy in COVID 19 treatment. Tocilizumab is another drug that is being investigated for use in patients who require oxygen support or mechanical ventilation. This is an overview of the drugs that are presently being used and tested for the treatment of confirmed COVID 19 cases. Do bear in mind that none of these drugs are to be taken without the direct recommendation of your doctor. Should you experience any of the symptoms of the novel coronavirus, do follow your country’s protocol for testing immediately. The symptoms to look out for include fever, dry cough, headache, body ache, and difficulties in breathing. These symptoms might seem to overlap with those of the common flu so, never self-medicate. Also, do refer to only reliable resources for information on the latest medical research concerning the novel coronavirus. Medical Learning Hub (MLH) is a platform trusted by doctors and PG medical students worldwide for continuing medical education (CME). MLH has many courses and webinars on the latest developments in medical research concerning the COVID 19 pandemic. For more information, log on to the MLH website today. Take care and stay safe.
