The presence and influence of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in the landscape of global health and development have dramatically increased over the past several decades. Increasingly, Medical Practitioners in industrialized countries have become interested in global health issues, an interest that often takes the form of Short-Term international Medical Missions (STMMs). His article will aim to help Medical Practitioners to have a synthetic overview of the legal framework governing medical volunteering in STMMs and give them some recommendations. The idea of this article started from the need to have an overview of the legal framework governing medical volunteering missions organized by the Claros’s Foundation named "Foundation Clarós" (hereinafter also "FC"). To better understand who this article is addressed to, it is interesting to bring to your attention the concrete case from which this article was born. The following is a brief outline of what FC is all about. FC is a private, non-profit organization (NGO) whose aim is to provide medical care and alleviate the suffering of people in health and medical precarious situations.

Arguably, caffeine is the world’s leading drug of choice. It is estimated that in the U.S. and Europe at least ninety per cent of the adult populations consume caffeine-containing beverages several times each day. It is also known that consumers prefer their hot coffee to be in the range of 45-60°C (i.e. as hot as 140°F). If such a drink is spilled on the exposed skin it can cause full-thickness, third degree burns within 5 seconds. These are the kinds of burns that produce permanent damage and scarring for life. The prudence of consuming hot coffee and other hot drinks at such temperatures is questionable, especially when children and adolescents are involved.

Coronavirus is here to stay In January, Nature asked more than 100 immunologists, infectious-disease researchers and virologists working on SARS-CoV-2 whether it could be eradicated. Almost 90% of respondents think that the coronavirus will become endemic — meaning that it will continue to circulate in pockets of the global population for years to come. But failure to eradicate the virus does not mean that death, illness and social isolation will continue on the scales seen so far. The future will depend heavily on the type of immunity people acquire and how the virus evolves. A different opinion: A minority report of one: Coronavirus may not go completely away but will be reduced in size and severity and its mortality greatly reduced: An optimistic hopeful minority report, Covid-19 pandemic war lockdown will end triumphantly before the start of May.

This paper is a brief investigation of the mathematical laws that undergird psychiatric hospitalizations. I wondered with all the mental illness, whether it is increasing over the centuries or staying the same, but perhaps more diagnosed and hospitalized. The answer is that mental illness is not growing (except for slight increases in suicide). The golden mean parabola, known since the times of the Egyptians and Babylonians, is the function that governs the human mind. It’s what goes on inside the black box.

Background: Colorectal cancer is a common and lethal cancer worldwide, In the UK, it is the second most common cause of cancer death. 5% of UK population is at risk of colorectal carcinoma during lifetime. 30% of patients with colorectal cancer present with a metastatic disease. Detecting colorectal cancer is challenging patients may present with slight symptoms or asymptomatic. By the time patients becomes symptomatic, the cancer may be more advanced. Therefore, screening for colorectal cancer is recommended for people at average risk. Method: All patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer at the Luton and Dunstable University Hospital UK from January 2015 through December 2019 were retrospectively identified from the referral database created by colorectal specialist nurses in the colorectal service. Data were retrieved by detailed review of the hospital case notes, ICE/Evolve (Computer database for investigations and correspondence) including endoscopy; radiographic imaging; operative course and cancer follow up. Results: In the study period 976 patients were diagnosed with colorectal cancer, Male 52.6% (513) Female 47.4% (463). The mean age of 74.14 years (range, 25 to 101). Sixty six 6.76% patients were excluded from the study, therefore the percentages of studied participant were Male 53 % (482) and Female 47 % (428) ratio 1: 1.12. Incidence of colorectal cancer among young adult was low 1.75% (16) up to 39 years of age) and 94.61% are diagnosed in people over the age of 50 years, 60.43% are diagnosed in people aged 70 or over. Conclusion: Increasing awareness of the symptoms and signs of colorectal cancer be helpful and beneficial. Establish integrated care pathways, centralization of complex procedures and comparison of international cancer outcomes.

Anaphylaxis during anesthesia is an unforeseeable and potentially life threatening syndrome that is dose independent. Ketamine is a widely used hypnotic for procedural sedation in the emergency department, in anesthesia and intensive care units (ICU). It is popularly employed for both children and adult patients. Though, dose dependent adverse effects of ketamine have been described, the hypersensitive reactions with the same are extremely rare. We are hereby presenting a case of an allergic reaction and isolated bradycardia with ketamine, given as intravenous monotherapy in a patient with no previous history of atopic disease. Our article aims at reminding all the medical professionals to never let a drug (however commonly used) throw away caution, be vigilant to timely diagnose an adverse drug reaction (even the most infrequent and rare) and be prepared to tackle the worst with the necessary supportive measures like hemodynamic support and advanced airway procedures.

This paper discusses the statistical measurement of the impact of COVID-19 major emergencies on farmers' economic income in Hubei Province. Hubei Province was selected as the object of analysis, and five data of total output value of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery and per capita disposable income of farmers in Hubei Province from the first quarter of 2013 to the second quarter of 2020 were collected by using the Internet. Since all the collected data were macroeconomic data, these data were taken the logarithm to meet the economic significance. The per capita disposable income of farmers was taken as the response variable, and the main factors affecting farmers' income were obtained by factor analysis. Livestock husbandry and fishery industries were the main industries in Hubei Province. Then the score of factor analysis were taken as explained variable to establish regression model composed of influencing factors. This paper use the multiple linear regression, support vector regression to fitting and forecasting data, ARIMA model of time series analysis, introduced at the same time, through the AIC model choice, with the first quarter of 2013 to 2019 in the second quarter fitting training, backward prediction two quarters, and three or four quarter of 2019 compared with the real data, through to the predicted results of the sequence diagram and evaluation index model to compare the mean square error (RMSE). Three models predict per capita disposable income of farmers in the first and second quarter of 2020. It has been found that performance better ARIMA model in the model compare is worse than before, and three kinds of predicted values are higher than the real value of the model, showed the outbreak to the influence of the agricultural economy in hubei province is serious. On this basis, taking into account the characteristics of geomorphic climate in Hubei province, the constructive suggestions are put forward.

A patient diagnosed with dengue fever was recently treated at a hospital in California. This rare case raises the concern that dengue fever may become a larger threat in the future for the contiguous United States, which is not currently considered endemic for the disease. Over the past decade, there has been an increase in the number of cases; therefore, dengue fever must be given greater consideration in the differential diagnosis, especially with a patient travel history to endemic parts of the world. This case report examines the management of a patient presenting with dengue fever and demonstrates that continued vigilance, prompt testing, and patient education can improve patient care and decrease disease prevalence in the future.
