The global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has spread worldwide, affecting almost all countries and territories. Various social-economic and environmental factors influence the outbreak and spread of the epidemic. Many modern techniques have been widely employed to study the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper aims to give an overview of applications offered by remote sensing techniques to study the COVID-19 pandemic through summarising a total of 55 scientific papers. Three different issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic is presented under three sub-sections; namely (1) applications of remotely sensed images on monitoring environmental changes and (2) the analysis of social and economic impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and (3) the use of remote sensing in studies of the epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2. The findings of this study provide important insights into how to apply such an advanced techniques as remote sensing in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. The varied applications of remote sensing affirms the value of this advanced technique to the study of small-to-large scale disasters in general and of the COVID-19 pandemic in particular.

Patient compliance is a determining factor for successful therapy, especially for long-term treatment such as diabetes mellitus. Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the level of adherence and the influence of the characteristics of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in using drugs at the Regional General Hospital of La Temmamala, Soppeng. Thirty respondents who met the entry criteria in this study. Data were obtained prospectively. Respondents were interviewed using a demographic questionnaire and an MMAS-8 questionnaire (Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8). The results of the study showed low compliance level of 43.3%, medium 36.7%, and high 20.0%. Exercising status, co-morbidities, regimen therapy, and checking fasting blood sugar gave significant results on the level of adherence (p<0.05). other factors such as level of educational factors, profession, duration of diagnosis, dietary pattern, smoking, and the varian drug had no effect on compliance (p>0.05). Compliance of most respondents was low (43.3%). Exercise status, comorbidities, regimen therapy, and fasting blood sugar test results are the factors that affect adherence.

The world has been suffering from COVID-19 since 2019. It is thought that there’s a high risk of dysphagia in patients with COVID-19. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of dysphagia in patients affected by COVID-19 in admission (day 0), discharge, and 3-6 months post-discharge. Only English papers reporting dysphagia in COVID19 patients were included. Case reports and review studies were excluded. The authors searched Web of Science, Google Scholar, Scopus, and PubMed from January 1, 2020, until July 1, 2022. In this study, the effect sizes and standard errors were used to estimate the amount of dysphagia in these patients. Random effects were used for statistical analysis. Of the 2736 identified studies, 19 articles (n = 5334 patients) were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of dysphagia in COVID-19 patients at admission (n=643 patients), discharge (n=2286 patients), long-term (n=2405 patients), and the total was 32% (SE=0.13), 29% (SE=0.04), 14% (SE=0.03), and 24% (SE=0.03), respectively. About a quarter of COVID-19 patients may have dysphagia during the acute phase and/or also in the post-acute phase of the disease. Therefore, one should be aware of the symptoms of dysphagia and treat it in time.
2019年以来,全球疫情持续蔓延。据认为,COVID-19患者有很高的吞咽困难风险。因此,本研究的目的是估计COVID-19患者在入院(第0天)、出院和出院后3-6个月时吞咽困难的患病率。仅纳入报道covid - 19患者吞咽困难的英文论文。病例报告和回顾性研究被排除在外。作者从2020年1月1日至2022年7月1日检索了Web of Science、b谷歌Scholar、Scopus和PubMed。在本研究中,使用效应量和标准误差来估计这些患者的吞咽困难程度。采用随机效应进行统计分析。在2736项确定的研究中,19篇文章(n = 5334例患者)被纳入meta分析。新冠肺炎患者入院(643例)、出院(2286例)、长期(2405例)和总患者的合并吞咽困难患病率分别为32% (SE=0.13)、29% (SE=0.04)、14% (SE=0.03)和24% (SE=0.03)。约四分之一的COVID-19患者可能在疾病的急性期和/或急性期后出现吞咽困难。因此,人们应该意识到吞咽困难的症状,并及时治疗。

Introduction: The prevalence of epilepsy in sub-Saharan Africa is high and therefore constitutes a major public health problem. In Niger, the hospitalization rate is 29.5%. The aim of the study is to improve the management of patients living with epilepsy. The objective of the study is to contribute to improving the management of patients living with epilepsy. Methods: This was a retrospective and prospective cross-sectional study in the neurology department of the Amirou Boubacar Diallo National Hospital from May 2017 to December 2022. Results: Our study involved 75 epileptic patients out of 5546 patients who consulted for epileptic seizures, or 0.5%. The sex ratio (M/F) was 1.27. Average age of 17.2 years. Time to treatment less than 2 days in 62.67%. Clinical manifestations with motor signs represented 65.33% and 34.66% of the psychological manifestations. No seizure triggers were found in 50.67% of cases. Familial epilepsy was found in 16% of cases. Head trauma was the personal antecedent in 4% of cases. Consanguinity was found in 48% of cases. Physical examination was abnormal in 6.67% of cases. Secondary generalized focal abnormalities predominated on EEG in 64% of cases and insular localizations in 26.32% of cases. Idiopathic epilepsy was the predominant etiology in 72% of cases. Brain CT was performed in 35% of cases and brain MRI in 12%. Monotherapy was prescribed in 90.67% of our patients. The evolution was favourable in 93.33% of cases. Conclusion: Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder affecting patients of all ages, especially young subjects.

Objective: In this case study, an Ayurvedic medical approach called Kshara Sutra treatment is used to treat a chronic transsphincteric fistula in a 45-year-old male patient after three unsuccessful surgical operations. Methods: The patient has been experiencing peri-anal pain and discharge on and off for six years. An extensive diagnostic examination, which included an MRI fistulogram, revealed a transphincteric fistula with several external openings on the left buttock and one internal hole at 6 o’clock. Following methylene blue infiltration confirmation of the interior orifice, Kshara Sutra herapy was applied. Results: The patient responded well to Kshara Sutra therapy, showing significant improvement in pain and discharge as well as no significant side effects. At the conclusion of the therapeutic time, the fistula was seen to have fully resolved, and the patient has since been symptom-free. Conclusions: This instance highlights the Kshara Sutra therapy’s potential efficacy in treating persistent transphincteric fistulas, especially when other treatments have failed. It is necessary to conduct more study to confirm these conclusions and examine the wider Applications of this therapy for the treatment of fistulas.
目的:在这个案例研究中,阿育吠陀医学方法被称为Kshara Sutra治疗,用于治疗一名45岁男性患者在三次手术失败后的慢性经括约肌瘘。方法:患者连续6年出现肛周疼痛和断断续续的分泌物。广泛的诊断检查,包括MRI瘘图,显示在左侧臀部有几个外部开口和一个内部孔。内孔亚甲蓝浸润确认后,应用经疗法。结果:患者经经治疗效果良好,疼痛和分泌物明显改善,无明显副作用。在治疗时间结束时,瘘被认为已经完全解决,并且患者已经无症状。结论:本病例强调了《迦罗经》疗法在治疗持续性肠经瘘管方面的潜在疗效,特别是在其他治疗方法失败的情况下。有必要进行更多的研究来证实这些结论,并探讨该疗法在瘘管治疗中的更广泛应用。

Onychomadesis and Staphylococcus aureus Infection of the Nail after HandFood-Mouth Disease 手食口病后指甲发育与金黄色葡萄球菌感染
Pub Date : 2023-06-16 DOI: 10.58806/ijhmr.2023.v2i6n01

Hand-foot-mouth disease is a viral disease that occurs mostly in children, but sometimes affects adults as well. It is most often caused by Coxsackie virus A16 or Enterovirus 71. Other strains of these viruses can also be an etiological factor for the development of the disease. It usually starts with an increase in body temperature and fatigue. Subsequently, papulo-vesicular rashes appear on the oral mucosa, palms and soles. Over time, some of them form small erosions or ulcers. Although rare, few weeks after an infection has passed, nail changes can be seen. Some are associated with falling off the nail plate, others with onychomаdеsis or the development of a bacterial and/or fungal infection. In this report, we present a clinical case of a 22-year-old woman who in the month of September 2022 had hand-foot-mouth disease and two months later developed nail changes associated with a change in the integrity and color of the nail plate.
手足口病是一种病毒性疾病,主要发生在儿童身上,但有时也会影响成人。它最常由柯萨奇A16病毒或肠病毒71引起。这些病毒的其他毒株也可能是该疾病发展的病因因素。它通常以体温升高和疲劳开始。随后,在口腔黏膜、手掌和脚底出现丘疹-水疱疹。随着时间的推移,其中一些会形成小的侵蚀或溃疡。虽然罕见,但感染过去几周后,指甲就会发生变化。其中一些与甲板脱落有关,另一些则与甲软骨脱落或细菌和/或真菌感染有关。在本报告中,我们报告了一名22岁女性的临床病例,她于2022年9月患有手足口病,两个月后出现指甲变化,并伴有甲板完整性和颜色的变化。

Guinea pigs were divided into 5 group treatments with each group treatment incubated for 1, 10, and 30 minutes and repeated each for 5 times. The treatments in this study is control, 200 μl of spermatozoa suspension + 50 μl of Sapindus rarak fruit pulp extract 0.9%; 200 μl of spermatozoa suspension + 50 μl of gotu kola extract 0.9%; 200 μl of spermatozoa suspension + 50 μl of 0.9% neem seed extract; 200 μl of spermatozoa suspension + 50 μl of the third mixture extract 0.9%. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD). The observations in this study were the motility of guinea pig spermatozoa categories a + b and the viability of guinea pig spermatozoa using a microscope. The data obtained were analyzed statistically using One Way ANOVA. The results of this study indicated that the administration of extract Sapindus rarak, Centella asiatica, and Azadirachta indica and a mixture of the three extracts had a significant effect (P < 0.05) on the motility of guinea pig spermatozoa categories a + b and viability of guinea pig spermatozoa. Conclution: This study concludes that the mixture of the three extracts has more potential in reducing the motility of spermatozoa categories a + b and the viability of guinea pig spermatozoa compared to single extracts. The mixture of the three extracts may contribute for reduce quality of sperm.
杀精剂是一种可以杀死精子的物质。社会上流传的杀精剂中含有壬二酚,如果长期使用,会刺激阴道黏膜和阴茎。印度尼西亚有多种具有抗生育潜力的植物,包括皂荚、积雪草和印楝。目的:对苦楝、积雪草、印楝的提取物进行评价。以及混合第三种提取物对豚鼠精子活力和生存能力的影响。方法:取3 ~ 4月龄雄性豚鼠附睾尾和输精管精子15枚。将豚鼠分为5组,每组孵育1、10、30分钟,每组重复5次。本试验处理为对照,精子悬浮液200 μl +黑子果肉提取物0.9% 50 μl;精子悬浮液200 μl +枸杞提取物0.9% 50 μl;精子悬浮液200 μl + 0.9%印楝籽提取物50 μl;精子悬浮液200 μl +第三种混合提取物0.9% 50 μl。本研究采用完全随机设计(CRD)。本研究观察的是a + b类豚鼠精子的运动性和显微镜下豚鼠精子的活力。所得资料采用单因素方差分析进行统计学分析。本研究结果表明,加用苦楝、积雪草和印楝提取物及三种提取物混合对豚鼠a + b类精子的活力和精子存活率均有显著影响(P < 0.05)。结论:与单一提取物相比,三种提取物混合使用具有更大的降低a + b类精子活力和豚鼠精子活力的潜力。这三种提取物的混合物可能会降低精子的质量。

The use of HAART for the treatment of HIV/AIDS infection, despite its success, has been reported to be accompanied by increased number of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) for which some risk factors such as age, gender, co-morbidities have been implicated. The association between alcohol consumption, herbal drug intake and use of co-trimoxazole and ADRs to HAART has not been documented much. The main objective of this study is to determine the association between alcohol consumption, herbal drug intake, use of co-trimoxazole and presentation of ADRs to HAART in HIV/AIDS patients in Makurdi where there’s high HIV infection, alcohol consumption and herbal use. It was a combination of prospective and retrospective study at FMC, Makurdi. We used clinical records of the patients and questionnaires for patients enrolled from January to October, 2019 and followed up for six months. The biodata, drug history including herbal medications and social life (use of alcohol) history were retrieved. A total number of three hundred and three (303) patients were recruited during the study period out of which two hundred and ten (210) patients were used. From a total of 210 patients, 144 (68. 6%) were females while sixty-six, 66 (31.4 %) were males. Of these, only 68(32.4%) patients took alcohol while 89 (42.4%) patients used herbal medications together with HAART regimen and 185(88.1) were on cotrimoxazole prophylaxis. 22 patients presented with ADR with peripheral neuropathy and insomnia being the commonest ADRs. 54.5% (majority) of the patients with ADRs took alcohol while 81.8% (majority) of the patients who developed ADRs were actually on herbal medications or co-trimoxazole. The p-value>0.05. Alcohol consumption, herbal medication use and co-trimoxazole prophylaxis in HIV/AIDS positive patients while on ARVs may increase ADRs to ARVs. Thus, HIV/AIDS patients should be discouraged from use of alcohol and herbal medication while on HAART.
使用HAART治疗艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染,尽管取得了成功,但据报道,伴随着药物不良反应(adr)数量的增加,其中涉及一些风险因素,如年龄、性别、合并症。酒精消费、草药摄入和复方新诺明的使用与HAART药物不良反应之间的关系并没有太多文献记载。本研究的主要目的是确定在马库尔迪HIV/AIDS患者中饮酒、草药药物摄入、复方新诺明的使用和HAART药物不良反应之间的关系。马库尔迪HIV感染率高、饮酒和草药使用。这是马库尔迪FMC前瞻性和回顾性研究的结合。我们使用2019年1 - 10月入组患者的临床记录和问卷调查,随访6个月。检索生物资料、药物史(包括草药)和社会生活(酒精使用)史。在研究期间共招募了303名患者,其中210名患者被使用。在210例患者中,144例(68。女性占6%,男性占66.66例(31.4%)。其中,只有68例(32.4%)患者服用酒精,89例(42.4%)患者使用草药联合HAART方案,185例(88.1)患者使用复方新诺明预防。22例患者出现不良反应,以周围神经病变和失眠为最常见的不良反应。54.5%(多数)发生adr的患者服用酒精,81.8%(多数)发生adr的患者实际上服用草药或复方新诺明。p值> 0.05。艾滋病毒/艾滋病阳性患者在服用抗逆转录病毒药物期间饮酒、使用草药和复方新诺明预防可能会增加对抗逆转录病毒药物的不良反应。因此,应劝阻艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者在接受HAART治疗期间使用酒精和草药。

Introduction: PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease) is a very disturbing condition of women of reproductive age, a common endocrine and metabolic disorder. Management of PCOD is a complex process, with inevitable long-term treatment, including appropriate medication and lifestyle changes. Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) System protocols have been proven to have cured this condition, and this paper presents one such case healed successfully and holistically. The patient had symptoms of male pattern baldness, hair loss and Acne on face. Method: An in-depth case study method has been used in this paper, with data collection from patient records, YPV healer’s records and patient feedback. Results: The patient’s PCOD condition was cured completely after 1 month and 23 days of healing. Hair loss reduced significantly, and some hair re-growth was also achieved. Acne was cured later completely, after further 16 days of healing. The patient achieved greater emotional and mental stability, besides improving physically. The patient regained her self-confidence and self-esteem. Conclusions: PCOD is one of the most common endocrine disorders affecting females in their reproductive age, and may lead to serious complications, if due care and attention is not given. Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) protocols are among proven methods of proper management of PCOD without use of any drugs. Further research using YPV with appropriate number of samples of cases like this case is recommended. It will be helpful for frontline health workers such as doctors and nurses to acquire a working knowledge of YPV practices and apply in practice to complement their specialties.

Background: Buruli ulcer is a chronic, debilitating, necrotizing disease of the skin and soft tissue caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans. Early detection and appropriate treatment of the patients are currently the most important measures for preventing the debilitating consequences of the disease. Objective: To assess the clinical profile of Buruli ulcer patients presenting in a referral hospital in Anambra state, Nigeria. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out among a cohort of 39 Buruli ulcer disease patients referred to a referral hospital in Anambra State between July and December 2021. A semi-structured, interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect data on the socio-demographic characteristics and the clinical presentation of the patients. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22; with alpha set at p-value ≤ 0.05. Results: Twenty one (53.8%) of the study participants were males while 18 (46.2%) were females. Their mean age was 28.41±18.668. Active lesions in the form of ulcers were seen in 38 (97.4%) of the participants while lesions were seen in the lower limbs in 35 (87.2%) of them. Statistically significant association existed between the clinical presentation of Buruli ulcer disease and the occupation of the respondents (p ≤ 0.05). Conclusions: Buruli ulcer still exists in the Nigeria and presents majorly with ulcers on the lower limbs. Public health efforts aimed at patient education and to assist with early detection of the disease to minimize associated morbidity should be instituted.
