Interval colonoscopy remains advisable after an acute attack, particularly after a complicated form. Acute surgery is needed for the most severe as well as refractory cases, whereas elective resections are individualized and should be considered for chronic, smoldering, or recurrent forms and respective complications (stricture, fistula, etc.) and for patients with factors highly predictive of recurrent attacks. Diverticulitis is no longer a disease of the elderly. Our evolving understanding of diverticulitis as a clinical entity has led into a more nuanced approach in both the medical and surgical management of this common disease. Non-surgical management remains the appropriate treatment for greater than 70% of patients. In individuals with non-relenting, persistent, or recurrent symptoms and those with complicated disease and sequelae, a segmental colectomy remains the most effective surgical treatment in the acute, chronic, or elective-prophylactic setting.Severe COVID-19 infection requiring oxygen support is reported to have high mortality. Chest Severity Score evaluated through CT scan has a predictive value about future outcomes in such cases. Score value ∼18 is predicted to have poor outcomes. We are presenting here a case of severe COVID-19 with all predictors suggestive of a bad prognosis including IL-6, D-Dimer, Ferritin and CRP in addition to 18/25 Chest Severity Score. Initially treated under ICU care at a tertiary care COVID hospital for about 14days, the patient was intervened with Ayurveda on his own insistence seeing the unsatisfactory improvements. Ayurveda intervention for 19 days along with standard ICU care resulted in complete clinical recovery of the patient besides the correction of biomarker levels. Rapid clinical and biochemical correction in this severe COVID-19 case against all odds is highly significant and warrants an urgent search for possibility of instituting the integrative management strategies for all those treated in an allopathic facility. This case also advocates an early institution of Ayurveda interventions in COVID-19 in order to prevent deterioration leading to complications.This paper uses transformed subsystem of ordinary differential equation s e i r s model, with vital dynamics of birth and death rates, and temporary immunity (of infectious individuals or vaccinated susceptible) to evaluate the disease-free D F E X ¯ D F E , and endemic E E X ¯ E E equilibrium points, using the Jacobian matrix eigenvalues λ i of both disease-free equilibrium X ¯ D F E , and endemic equilibrium X ¯ E E for COVID-19 infectious disease to show S, E, I, and R ratios to the population in time-series. In order to obtain the disease-free equilibrium point, globally asymptotically stable ( R 0 ≤ 1 ), the effect of control strategies has been added to the model (in order to decrease transmission rate β , and reinforce susceptible to recovered flow), to determine how much they are effective, in a mass immunization program. The effect of transmission rates β (from S to E) and α (from R to S) varies, and when vaccination effect ρ , is added to the model, disease-free equilibrium X ¯ D F E is globally asymptotically stable, and the endemic equilibrium point X ¯ E E , is locally unstable. The initial conditions for the decrease in transmission rates of β and α , reached the corresponding disease-free equilibrium X ¯ D F E locally unstable, and globally asymptotically stable for endemic equilibrium X ¯ E E . The initial conditions for the decrease in transmission rate s β and α , and increase in ρ , reached the corresponding disease-free equilibrium X ¯ D F E globally asymptotically stable, and locally unstable in endemic equilibrium X ¯ E E .Telemental health services have broadened during the last decade (Choi et al. 2019; Pierce et al. 2020). More recently, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) restrictions have led to an escalation in clinical services through telemental health settings. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to consider perspectives of Marriage and Family Therapists (MFT)s who are working in telemental health settings prior to and/or as a result of COVID-19 restrictions and consider the role that telemental health has in building therapeutic connections with clients. Researchers presented an online survey that explored participants' perceptions of providing telemental health. Participants included 23 MFTs who were currently licensed or working under an MFT supervisor. ABC294640 cost Data analysis uncovered the following thematic responses (a) doing telemental health is similar, but different, than in-person therapy, (b) adapting to telemental health is worthwhile, and (c) validating clients' voices and experiences is fundamental to building an alliance in telemental health therapy. Findings supported the importance of further training in telemental health, specifically related to cultural humility and alliance building within telemental health settings.The COVID-19 pandemic produced widespread disruption to schooling, impacting 90% of the world's students and moving entire school systems to remote and online learning. In the state of New South Wales, Australia, most students engaged in learning from home for at least eight weeks, with subsequent individual and intermittent school closures. However, while numerous claims have circulated in the popular media and in think tank reports, internationally, about the negative impacts on learning, there is limited empirical evidence of decreased student achievement. Drawing on data from more than 4800 Year 3 and 4 students from 113 NSW government schools, this paper compares student achievement during 2019 and 2020 in a sample of matched schools to examine the effects of the system-wide disruption. Somewhat surprisingly, our analysis found no significant differences between 2019 and 2020 in student achievement growth as measured by progressive achievement tests in mathematics or reading. A more nuanced picture emerges when the sample is examined by dis/advantage (ICSEA) and Year level. The Year 3 cohort in the least advantaged schools (ICSEA  less then  950) achieved 2 months less growth in mathematics, while the Year 3 students in mid-ICSEA schools (950-1050) achieved 2 months' additional growth. No significant differences were identified for Indigenous students or students located in regional locations. These results provide an important counter-narrative to widespread speculation about alarming levels of 'learning loss' for all students. While the lower achievement growth in mathematics for Year 3 students in lower ICSEA schools must be addressed as a matter of urgency to avoid further inequities, most students are, academically, where they are expected to be. Our findings are a testament to the dedicated work of teachers during the 2020 pandemic to ensure that learning for most students was not compromised, despite unusually trying circumstances.
