Recent evidence showed that the International Medical Tourism conference held in Shanghai reported there are 12million outbound medical tourists each year in the whole world, which increased about 15% to 25% per year. Databases were systematically searched between 2010 and 2012 and 60 papers were selected for review. (Fig.1, Fig.2). About 50-60 thousand Chinese go oversea for medical treatment not including the health examination and plastic surgery. Moreover, the target Asia countries are India and Thailand because they provide more cheaper medical services. There are lots of Chinese individuals came to Taiwan searching medical evaluation and therapy about that time. However, due to the political policy changed that the Chinese people are prohibited to come to Taiwan individually, therefore, the medical tourism were marked reduced. In the meantime, China tries to develop inbound and outbound medical tourism themselves and providing more cheaper and quality medical treatment and health examination.

The 7th of January 2020, the novel Coronavirus was identified as the causative agent of COVID19, a potentially deadly disease. The first cases were reported in Wuhan, Hubei province in China, but since the 11th of March 2020, a novel Coronavirus outbreak has been considered as a pandemic. Belonging to Coronavirus family, SARS-CoV-2 is believed to be originated in bat then transmitted to humans by an intermediate animal host. Inhalation or touching infected droplets are the major ways to transmit the disease from human-to-human. Most of the patients are mild or asymptomatic. Symptomatic ones present mainly fever, sore throat, dyspnea, but in certain cases, it can lead to pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, or even multi-organ dysfunction. Molecular detection methods are at high importance mainly rtqPCR. High-throughput sequencing of the whole genome can also be used, but it is very expensive. CRISPR Cas 12 has just got the initial validation as a detection tool of SARS-CoV-2. Serological tests and CT chest scan are also involved in the diagnosis. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive including isolation of patients. However, many drugs and vaccine candidates are under clinical experimentation. In this review, we prepared a quick summary of SARS-CoV-2 origin, transmission, clinical manifestations and management by highlighting the variable diagnostic methods and potential therapeutic agents, which may prevent the disease or fight the virus. It also provides a bird's eye view about the current outbreak status in Syrian Arab Republic in the Middle East.

In the patients with bipolar disorder, mood stabilizers would be used to diminish swings of the mood. Antipsychotics, lithium and anticonvulsants are used as mood stabilizers. The exact mechanisms of these drugs in controlling the mood swings are not clear specifically with regard to antipsychotics. These drugs have effects on dopamine receptors in the pathways related to motivation and emotion, in some parts of the brain like nucleus accumbens, amygdala and hippocampus. The mechanism of action of lithium is different from antipsychotics. Lithium protects neurons from insults and inhibits cellular apoptosis process by glycogen synthase kinase-3b inhibition or increasing anti-apoptotic protein BCL-2 production. Inhibiting the inositol-1-phosphatase by lithium, cause it to have effects on inositol phosphate second messengers production. Dentate gyrus new neurons growth, will be promoted by lithium either. Lithium also decreases the suicide risk in the patients.

Background: Malaria causes an overwhelmingly large number of cases and deaths round the globe every year. Insecticide treated mosquito nets (ITNs) have raised a renewed interest to serve as tools for malaria control in Africa. This survey was, therefore, designed to provide information about the knowledge, attitude and experience of the community about malaria as a disease and its preventive methods, particularly acceptability, affordability and compliance to the use of insecticide treated mosquito nets, and factors influencing its possession and utilization of ITNs among Gyadi-Gyadi communities in Kano, Nigeria. Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted in Gyadi-Gyadi from January, 2020 to February, 2020. Data was collected using a pretested structured questionnaire. Descriptive analysis was performed to obtain the frequency distribution of the variables. Results: The result shows that 341 participants responded to the questionnaire. 64.5% of the respondents had heard about the mosquito net. 45% of the respondents in the survey reported the presence of at least one mosquito net in their households. 69.2% of the participants perceived fever, headache and chilling of the body as the main symptoms of malaria. Conclusion: The utilization of mosquito nets at the time of the study was very low. However, acceptability and willingness to use ITNs for malaria prevention was very high. It is recommended that communities should be strongly sensitized on the importance of ITNs for malaria control and the availability and affordability should be insured.

Normal skeletal muscle atonia's intermittent absence, which results in acting out patient's dreams, is the characteristic of the Rapid eye movement Behavior Disorder or RBD. The occurrence of RBD is in the last third part of the night. In this part, the REM sleep is much more common. The dreams during RBD would be vivid and patient's violent and aggressive behavior and movements can be dangerous for the patient and his/her bed partner. RBD is most common in older men. Its etiology is not clear but RBD is associated with some neurodegenerative diseases like multiple system atrophy, parkinson's disease and lewy body dementia. This association specifically with parkinson's disease is high, since about 50 percent of the patients with RBD develop parkinson's disease during years. In the association between RBD and neurodegenerative diseases, RBD's occurrence would usually be preceded such neurodegenerative diseases by several years.

Metformin is an oral antidiabetic used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. More precisely, it belongs to the class of biguanides, Metformin is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus both as monotherapy and in combination therapy with other oral antidiabetic agents or with insulin, when dietary interventions and exercise are not sufficient to control the disease. When used in overweight diabetic patients, metformin also causes a decrease in the complications of diabetes and its use has been associated with stabilization and, albeit modest, loss of body weight.In type 2 diabetes mellitus (called also DM2 and in the past 'adult diabetes' or 'food') the insulin produced by the pancreas is unable to fully exert its action so that the body even produces it in excess, with the result on the one hand of making increasing weight and on the other hand progressively depleting the pancreas, is unable to meet the body's needs. It is as if the body were resisting the action of insulin. Metformin reduces insulin resistance. It is taken by mouth and is the only drug useful in all stages of type 2 diabetes. It also helps improve the balance of fats and, to a limited extent, blood pressure. Metformin alone has important effects on blood sugar. Accompanied by physical exercise, weight loss and possibly other medications, it is often an effective therapy. It does not cause hypoglycemia, helps not to gain weight or even reduces it. The main feature of Metformin is to interact strongly with AMPK by regulating its expression. In fact, its down regulation leads to consuming ATP, synthesizing cholesterol and fatty acids and consuming glucose: a situation in which insulin levels are quite high (therefore energy abundance).On the contrary, its up regulation leads to the creation of ATP, consuming more fatty acids for energy purposes and it is a metabolic situation similar to caloric restriction in which insulin levels are kept low (therefore energy scarcity). Metformin by upregulating AMPK has therefore shown to have a somewhat transversal therapeutic use in the treatment of metabolic dysfunctions.

“Co-infection” differs from single infection mainly in the effect of co-infection on the host health which may be harmful, beneficial or absent. This effect occurs mainly due to changes in host immune response. Co-infection is used in treatment of other diseases not just infectious ones. It’s well known that co-infection may have beneficial effects that can improve overall outcome better than single agent infection especially in case of viruses. There are many immunological mechanisms to achieve that. As co-infection has a beneficial effect that we may use it in treatment, there is harmful effect that we should avoid. In this review we tried to evaluate the effect of co-infection in pregnancy with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) and how the immune system of the pregnant women will respond to co-infection.

Cutaneous pleomorphic fibroma was initially described by Kamino et al in 1989 as a dermal, pauci-cellular neoplasm with an abundant fibrous tissue stroma, atypical fibro-histiocytic cells and disseminated multinucleated giant cells(1). Pleomorphic fibroma is an exceptional, benign, polypoid ordome shaped, sparsely cellular, cutaneous fibroblastic neoplasm characteristically delineating aberrant, pleomorphic, hyperchromatic and giant multinucleated cells embedded in a collagenous stroma (2). Pleomorphic fibroma is contemplated to originate from dendrocytes, in contrast to myofibroblasts. The exceptional neoplasm can simulate adjunctive fibro-histiocytic, melanocytic or lipomatous neoplasia. Despite cellular and nuclear atypia accompanying pleomorphic, bizarre cells, the neoplasm is contemplated as architecturally and biologically benign, on account of exceptional or absent mitosis(2). Pleomorphic fibroma may be interlinked with sclerotic fibroma. Martin-Lopez defined the terminology “pleomorphic sclerotic fibroma” which posits pleomorphic fibroma, sclerotic fibroma and pleomorphic sclerotic fibroma as neoplasia representing a morphologic continuum (3).
