Retail pharmacies have been declining in regard to physical stores as well as value as perceived by the society. Even in the face of their declination there are little amendments or implementations made to avert this, most have turned out to be ineffectual to the occurrence. Alongside primary healthcare facilities such as hospitals, pharmacies can offer a decentralized healthcare system whereby they can divert some of the healthcare services and assist in the development of an effectual healthcare system. To create an effectual healthcare system former policies have to be altered and new ones which promote quality and affordable healthcare.

Postcovid syndrome affects 5-20% of all patients with symptomatic Covid-I9 infection, resulting in temporary or permanent disability for next weeks or months. The commonest syndromes after long Covid-I9, (or chronic fatigue syndrome after Covid, or as synonymum postcovid syndrome) are psychic or psychosomatic disorders known under the name Depression and Anxiety Syndrome. After the unrest and armed conflicts during the Covid era, clients or patients, mainly migrants of war, are also exposed to chronic post trauma syndrome related to previous or recent destruction of infrastructure, temporary homelesness and escape from affected regions/country. Cumulation of those 2 syndromes may have devastating consequences to both, individual health and economic losses due to permanent working and economy disabilities and consumption of health and social funds. After the unrest and armed conflicts during Covid era,clients or patients, mainly migrants of war, are also exposed to chronic post trauma syndrome related to previous or recent destruction of infrastructure, temporary homelesness and escape from affected regions/country.

Comorbidity is described as an illness that happens more frequently in connection with a specific condition than would be expected as a coincidental relationship in the general population. Depression, anxiety, stroke, epilepsy, sleep problems, and other pain illnesses are all common comorbidities with migraine. Furthermore, many common disorders occur concurrently (at the same time) with migraine, influencing therapy options (Anzola G.D, 1999). When individuals have comorbid or concurrent conditions, migraine therapy, and especially migraine prevention, can be difficult.

This study is a collection of findings of published articles from the Department of Medical Biophysics and Department of Public Health at the Jessenius Faculty of Medicine in Martin, Comenius University Bratislava (JFM CU) with the topic on epidemiology of electromagnetic fields. During 14 years, 13 principal publications were created, of which 11 studies deal with radio frequency signals from mobile phones (mainly GSM900 and GSM1800 standard); one study describes the construction of a new exposure system and the other deals with the effects of low frequency electromagnetic fields. The results showed that the electromagnetic fields can affect heart rate variability both in humans and animals; increasing the activity of the parasympathetic or sympathetic nerve systems depending on place of body exposure (head or thorax, respectively); may cause disorders of heart rhythm; loss of concentration; headaches; and/or burning sensations in the ear area. Parameters of exposition were compared with the values issued by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). They had not exceeded the permitted limits. However, compared to data of the Bio Initiative Report, in some cases, our measured values exceeded their limits.

This paper deals with the use of meridian exercises of Traditional Chinese medicine in physiotherapy. On a selected sample of 30 probands aged between 19 to 55 years who met the set criteria, the effect of exercises for non-specific pain in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine was examined. The pilot prospective study compares the intensity of pain in 3 areas of the back before the start of a 4-week cycle exercise at least 3 times a week and after the end of the exercise cycle. After a series of meridian exercises there was a statistically significant pain reduction in the cervical spine (p < 0.05), in the thoracic spine (p < 0.05) and on the level (p < 0.05) in the lumbar spine. The pain frequency during the week decreased by an average (p< 0.05) of a day. The pilot study unequivocally confirmed the positive effect of meridian exercises on reducing the intensity of pain in 3 back areas as well as on reducing the frequency of perceived pain. The addressed issue has a perspective both on the level of physiotherapeutic procedures and their diagnostic use and from the point of view of Traditional Chinese Medicine with the impact of meridian exercises on individual elements, such as organ systems.

Recent war conflicts in Europe and Middle East generate new refugee wawes and possible dissemination of Covid I9 variants from countries with low vaccination activity due to armed events.Therefore we have tested all migrants of war(206) coming via Hungarian Slovak Czech Border,within one week among 1023 refugees of war..who had symptoms of respiratory infection.None of tested symptomatic individuals was positive by rapid antigen test.Therefore the the risk ofCOVID I9 dissemination was not been confirmed.

Pepper spray is a self-defense tool used to prevent or stop aggressive behavior by quick and temporary incapacitation of the aggressor. The main aim of this study is to compare the effect of 2 different tools – Flashlight spray (Tool 1) and a gun shaped pepper spray (Tool 2) for paramedics in Prague. We performed a simulated test of the use of the tools with 10 paramedics (5 men, 5 women; the average age was 28 years) – nobody had been educated in using the mentioned self-defense tools. Using pepper spray (Tool 1) is faster and safer than using a pepper gun (Tool 2). There were discovered a lot of negative factors for recommendation for both of these tools: long time period for using against possible perpetrators; impossibility of the using in the space of ambulance. We found that neither tool is appropriate for paramedics.

Occupational burnout is a significant global problem that has impacted clinical outcomes, patient safety, and patient-centered care across healthcare settings (World Health Organization) [WHO], 2019. The classic definition of burnout, as defined by Dr. Christina Maslach, is “a psychologic syndrome involving emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a diminished sense of personal accomplishment (Maslach & Jackson, 1982). Burnout affects cognitive, behavioral and emotional aspects of human behavior. It also interferes with how individuals process and interact with others at an individual and organizational level. Others have noted that burn-out individuals tend to focus on negative things rather than positive emotions (Bianchi & Laurent, 2015). Nurse and physician burnout was recognized before the COVID-19 pandemic as a growing problem. Evidence now suggests that more than 50% of nurses, physician assistants and physicians report syndromes of burnout. The problem has become even more pronounced when the work environment contributes stressors associated with technological advancements, EMRs, increased patient acuity, and financial cost cutting measures. It is now recognized that individuals and organizations burnout. As a public health issue, burnout and well-being are multifactorial and recognize that individuals and organizations contribute significant factors to the burnout syndrome. It appears that burnout rates are rising across specialties and settings resulting in increase of costs to individuals and organizations (National Academy of Medicine [NAM]), 2018. What is needed is a clear map to make decisions on clinical burnout. Healthcare workers (HCW) need confidential access to wellness activities, support systems and mental health consultation. A new model is needed to further refine the work-life balance and create a caring corporate culture. Healthcare leaders need to rethink how to support employees across disciplines when it comes to burnout and well-being.
