The basic reproduction number values give an initial prediction of the disease because the values predict of end of the disease if the values are less than one or the disease converts to epidemic if the values are more than one. We apply the SIRD epidemiology model for estimating the basic reproduction number of the new coronavirus disease for multiple different countries.
For estimating of the basic reproduction number values, we fit the SIRD model using the Runge-Kutta simulation method in addition to the analytical solution of parts of the model. We use the collected data of the new coronavirus pandemic reported up to date July 30, 2020 in India, the Syrian Arab Republic, the United States, France, Nigeria, Yemen, China and Russia.
We find that the basic reproduction numbers of the new coronavirus disease are located in the range [1.0011-2.7936] for the different location countries and the values of the ratio between the rate of recovery and the rate of mortality are between 1.5905 for Yemen and 44.0805 for Russia. Also, we find the dates of the actual decreasing of Covid-19 cases in five countries.
We find that the basic reproductive number is between 1.0011 for the smallest value and 2.7936 for the greatest value. The most important thing is that the values of the basic reproduction number of the new coronavirus disease in all considered countries are more than one which means that the new coronavirus disease is epidemic in all of considered countries.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused a significant impact on all aspects of life. One of the comorbidities associated with severe outcome and mortality of COVID-19 is diabetes. Metformin is one of the drugs which is most commonly used for the treatment of diabetes patients. This study aims to analyze the potential benefit of metformin use in reducing the mortality rate from COVID-19 infection.
We systematically searched the Google Scholar database using specific keywords related to our aims until August 3rd, 2020. All articles published on COVID-19 and metformin were retrieved. Statistical analysis was done using Review Manager 5.4 software.
A total of 5 studies with a total of 6937 patients were included in our analysis. Our meta-analysis showed that metformin use is associated with reduction in mortality rate from COVID-19 infections [RR 0.54 (95% CI 0.32-0.90),
=0.02,
=54%, random-effect modelling].
Metformin has shown benefits in reducing the mortality rate from COVID-19 infections. Patients with diabetes should be advised to continue taking metformin drugs despite COVID-19 infection status.

The aim of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) patients, including risk factors for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, and to evaluate the need for rehabilitation to prevent pulmonary embolism.
A retrospective medical record review was conducted of patients admitted to the study hospital with COVID-19 between April 2 and April 23, 2020. The clinical characteristics and blood test results of patients with no history on admission of oral anticoagulant use were evaluated to assess the importance of inflammation and clotting function as risk factors for pulmonary embolism.
A total of 51 patients with COVID-19 were admitted during the study period. Their median age was 54.0 years (range 41-63 years) and 38 of 51 (74.5%) were men. The most common comorbidities in men were diabetes (9/38, 23.7%) and hypertension (13/38, 34.2%). On admission, white blood cell counts were normal in both sexes, whereas C-reactive protein and hemostatic marker levels, except for the activated partial thromboplastin time, were significantly higher in men. Moreover, C-reactive protein and hemostatic marker levels were significantly higher in patients that required invasive ventilation. Two patients were diagnosed with acute pulmonary embolism, neither of whom required invasive ventilation.
Hypercoagulability and hyperinflammation were observed in COVID-19 patients, especially in men with high oxygen demand. We recommend anticoagulant therapy and early rehabilitation intervention to prevent pulmonary embolism in COVID-19 patients.

There are no reports describing in detail postoperative rehabilitation after double-level osteotomy (DLO). NRD167 mw Consequently, the establishment of a safe and effective rehabilitation protocol is required.
This retrospective study included 26 patients with varus knees who underwent DLO. No patient had obvious fracture around the femoral osteotomy sites, as evaluated using computed tomography (CT) 3 weeks postoperatively. From 3 days postoperatively, gait training with early weight bearing was performed using our parallel bar protocol. Range of motion exercises were permitted as tolerated. Radiological evaluation was performed to confirm the presence or absence of fracture around the femoral osteotomy sites using CT at 3 weeks and X-ray at 6 weeks postoperatively. X-ray imaging 6 months postoperatively indicated no femoral correction loss. Additionally, the time from initiation to completion of the protocol and the time from initiation to achievement of independent gait were recorded.
No fractures around the femoral osteotomy sites in any patient were found using CT 3 weeks postoperatively and X-rays 6 weeks postoperatively. There was no correction loss at the femoral osteotomy site according to X-ray findings 6 months postoperatively. The mean time until completion of the parallel bar protocol was 19.8 ± 6.2 (7-30) days, and that from the initiation of rehabilitation to the achievement of independent gait was 26.8 ± 7.1 (16-45) days.
Patients without fracture around the femoral osteotomy site during the rehabilitation period could achieve independent gait within an average of <1 month using the parallel bar protocol. Early weight-bearing walking and independent walking could be achieved using this protocol.
Patients without fracture around the femoral osteotomy site during the rehabilitation period could achieve independent gait within an average of less then 1 month using the parallel bar protocol. Early weight-bearing walking and independent walking could be achieved using this protocol.
