To assess the possible factors associated with increasing risk of COVID-19 among EMTs.<br /><br /> This study was a case-control study conducted in Tehran, Iran. Case group was consisted of confirmed COVID-19 EMTs based on the results of reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and/or lung computed tomography scan. Healthy EMTs were randomly selected as control group. Patients were asked to fill out a checklist including demographic data, data related to the work situation (such as number of missions and type of mask and cloth) and PPE precautions.<br /><br /> Sixty-eight patients and 148 healthy persons took part in this study as case and control group, respectively. Having two EMTs involved directly in taking care of patients (<br /><br /> &lt;0.001) and working with a confirmed case teammate (<br /><br /> &lt;0.001), considering the precautions such as seal check after wearing the mask (<br /><br /> =0.015), covering the hair with a medical hat (<br /><br /> &lt;0.001), not using personal items despite protective clothing (<br /><br /> &lt;0.001), and avoiding contact with the outer surface of clothing while removing (<br /><br /> &lt;0.001) had significant difference in two groups.<br /><br /> We found that the type and method of use of PPE were correlated with the increasing risk of COVID-19 in EMTs. Also, we found that when two EMTs were involved directly in taking care of the patients, and those who worked with a confirmed case teammate, more frequently affected.<br /><br />We found that the type and method of use of PPE were correlated with the increasing risk of COVID-19 in EMTs.

We have compared the data in lockdown period with the same day's number from the pre-lockdown period. Patients were categorized according to age, gender, injury cause, injury place, injury severity, and injury outcome to compare the statistical analysis between two periods.<br /><br /> Total emergency department (ED) trauma footfall decreased significantly by 73% during lockdown period. The injuries result increased significantly due to blunt forces. There was a significant decrease in the major injury of the patient's percentage. The road traffic injuries (RTIs) in individuals were less than the reported falls number, which increased significantly durine trauma.<br /><br /> To analyze the factors associated with mortality in fracture patients with concomitant COVID-19 infection based on the available published data.<br /><br /> Keywords such as "fracture" and "COVID or COVID-19" were searched through three major databases includes PubMed, EMBASE, and Google Scholar. Selection criteria were all published reports providing the mortality related information of COVID-19 positive fracture patients. Published papers containing mortality data of COVID-19 positive fracture patients were considered for qualitative review. For meta-analysis, the presenting individual's data were considered to study the different parameters association with mortality.<br /><br /> The rate of mean mortality in COVID-19 positive fracture patients was 34%, and 91.7% of patients had hip fractures. Older age and hip fractures had a significant association with higher mortality rates in COVID-19 positive fracture patients.<br /><br /> The mortality rates are considerably higher in COVID-19 positive patients with fractures compared to COVID-19 positive patients without fractures and to the COVID-19 negative fracture patients. Early surgical intervention should be preferred in hip fractures among COVID-19 positive patients for general stabilization and improved respiratory function. Older age and hip fractures are the main predictors of mortality in these patients.<br /><br />The mortality rates are considerably higher in COVID-19 positive patients with fractures compared to COVID-19 positive patients without fractures and to the COVID-19 negative fracture patients.

The present study aims to investigate the binding affinity of the bioactive and synthetic compounds with the main protease (Mpro) enzymes and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE 2) by computational approach. PASS prediction, pharmacokinetics, and toxicological properties prediction studies were performed through the Google PASS prediction and Swiss ADME/T website. Besides, molecular docking studies were accomplished by BIOVIA Discovery Studio 2020, UCSF Chimera, and PyRx autodock vina.<br /><br /> The docking scores were inferred and the selected compounds showed results varying from -3.2 to -9.8 (kcal/mol). Theaflavin scored the highest docking score to the 5REB, 6VW1, and 1R42 enzymes and showed the binding affinity as -6.3 kcal/mol, -9.8 kcal/mol, and -8.6 kcal/mol, respectively. Again, kaempferol showed the best binding affinity to the 7BQY (-7.1 kcal/mol) and 6Y2FB (-6.6 kcal/mol) enzymes. All the chemical constituents showed better probability in action in pass prediction analysis. Besides, no ligands (except theaflavin) have any conflict with Lipinski's rules of five, which authorized the drug probability of these ligands.<br /><br /> Therefore, the selected compounds could be considered a potential herbal treatment source against SARS-CoV-2.<br /><br />Therefore, the selected compounds could be considered a potential herbal treatment source against SARS-CoV-2.<br /><br /> Influenza is an acute respiratory tract infection caused by the influenza virus. Vaccination and antiviral drugs are the two methods opted to control the disease. Besides their efficiency, they also cause adverse side effects. Hence, scientists turned their attention to powerful herbal medicines. This review put focus on various proven, scientifically validated anti-influenza compounds produced by the plants suggested for the production of newer drugs for the better treatment of influenza and its related antiviral diseases too.<br /><br /> In this review, fifty medicinal herb phytochemical constituents and their anti-influenza activities have been documented. Specifically, this review brings out the accurate and substantiates mechanisms of action of these constituents. This study categorizes the phytochemical constituents into primary and secondary metabolites which provide a source for synthesizing and developing new drugs.<br /><br /> This article provides a summary of the actions of the herbal constituents. Since the mechanisms of action of the components are elucidated, the pandemic situation arising due to influenza and similar antiviral diseases can be handled promisingly with greater efficiency.

They need to be prepared and collaborate with other healthcare professionals further to meet the challenges of post-pandemic circumstances.<br /><br /> The 2019 novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 caused large outbreaks of COVID-19 worldwide. COVID-19 resembles community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Our aim was to identify lymphocyte subpopulations to distinguish between COVID-19 and CAP.<br /><br /> We compared the peripheral blood lymphocytes and their subsets in 296 patients with COVID-19 and 130 patients with CAP. Parameters for independent prediction of COVID-19 were calculated by logistic regression.<br /><br /> The main lymphocyte subpopulations (CD3<br /><br /> CD4<br /><br /> , CD16<br /><br /> CD56<br /><br /> , and CD4<br /><br /> /CD8<br /><br /> ratio) and cytokines (TNF-<br /><br /> and IFN-<br /><br /> ) of COVID-19 patients were significantly different from that of CAP patients. CD16<br /><br /> CD56<br /><br /> %, CD4<br /><br /> /CD8<br /><br /> ratio, CD19<br /><br /> , and CD3<br /><br /> CD4<br /><br /> were identified as predictors of COVID-19 diagnosis by logistic regression. In addition, the CD3<br /><br /> CD4<br /><br /> counts, CD3<br /><br /> CD8<br /><br /> counts, andTNF-<br /><br /> are independent predictors of disease severity in patients.<br /><br /> Lymphopenia is an important part of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and lymphocyte subsets and cytokines may be useful to predict the severity and clinical outcomes of the disease.<br /><br />Lymphopenia is an important part of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and lymphocyte subsets and cytokines may be useful to predict the severity and clinical outcomes of the disease.Generic medicines are clinically equivalent and can be used interchangeably for their intended use. Globally, the usage of generic medicines is highly recommended because of their affordability and accessibility. However, consumers hold a negative perception and attitude of using generic medicine as they consider it poor and having inferior quality compared to branded medicines. This study was conducted to assess the consumers' general view of generic medicines and in vitro evaluation of a locally produced generic medicine, paracetamol. An analytical and cross-sectional study was conducted in three selected hospitals, and in vitro quality control evaluation was done in National Drug Quality Control Laboratory between October 26 and November 21, 2017, in Asmara, Eritrea. A systematic random sampling design was employed, and the data was collected using a questionnaire and a check-list for recording the quality control parameters of paracetamol tablets. A total of 403 respondents were included in the study. link3 The majority of the study participants were females (61.
