Preventive Measures for Operating Room and Personnel during COVID-19 Pandemic in Case, When Clinic is Not Yet on Front-Line | Chapter 19 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 8

  The new COVID-19 has had a tremendous impact on all aspects of life around the world from the beginning of 2020. Despite the lack of a particular cure for this disease, the necessity of taking preventative measures cannot be stressed. Although prevention of pandemic transmission is especially important in hospital settings, if COVID-19 clinics are frequently treating infected patients while following all recommended preventive regulations, clinics that are not yet treating these patients are continuously on the watch for COVID-19. As a result, preventive measures for clinics not yet on the front lines are specialised, and distance work, a sufficient number of diagnostic tests, and protective equipment are required. The creation of interchangeable health-care teams is a crucial step in the prevention process. In this piece, we'll look at how these hospitals plan to keep operating room employees safe during the COVID-19 epidemic. Author(S) Details Vakhtang Shoshiashvili Faculty...

COVID-19 Disease on 700 Chronic Dialysis Patients from Ecuadorian Highlands: An Observational Study | Chapter 3 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 11

Introduction: In December of this year, the first cases of Covid-19 sickness were documented. The pandemic has spread throughout the world by March 2021, with 114.217.365 cases and 2.533014 deaths, including 286.155 cases and 15.811 deaths in Ecuador. After one year of pandemic, the researchers wanted to highlight the impact of COVID-19 disease on 700 chronic dialysis patients from Ecuador's highlands, representing roughly 7% of the country's dialysis population. Materials and Methods: 700 Latino chronic dialysis patients from five different cities in Ecuador's highlands participated in an observational prospective multicenter study. From February 1, 2020, through January 31, 2021, patients were tracked. COVID-19 signs were discovered, and the disease was only confirmed by PCR testing of nasopharyngeal swabs. If oxygen saturation was less than 90% at the time of presentation (LOS), the disease was classified as severe, moderate if symptoms were present but not at LOS, a...

Study of Immunity-Boosting Measures and Hydroxychloroquine against Fight of COVID-19 | Chapter 17 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 9

According to the WHO dashboard, the Coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) had a global impact, with a total of 187,519,789 confirmed cases and 4,049,372 deaths as of July 14, 2021. Since its inception in December 2019, researchers have been seeking for ways to combat and overcome it, and as a result, preventive measures such as social separation of 3 feet, wearing a good face mask, and hand sanitization have become an unavoidable part of our daily routine. Immunity-enhancing techniques have also been advised to reduce the likelihood of becoming infected with the virus or, if already infected, to receive the milder form. In addition, the anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and immune-modulator medication hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) has been widely endorsed by many national advisory bodies, including India, as a preventative strategy and treatment against COVID-19 in the early stages of 2020. We've included information about immunity boosters and the role of HCQ in COVID-19. Author (S) De...

Overbearing Impact of Media on Public Health during COVID-19 | Chapter 14 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 7

The penultimate source of one's long-term survival is good health. However, with a pandemic as widespread as COVID-19, the negative impact on health becomes all-encompassing. Furthermore, as the world becomes more contemporary, the possibility of health-influencing elements increases. 'Media' is one of these elements. As a result, the purpose of this article is to evaluate and integrate the impact of media during the early stages of the coronavirus's dissemination. The media, which may have been useful in regulating public health or at the very least assisting in the long-term management of the spread, turned out to be the medium for disseminating the disease's aftermaths. While the pandemic's negative effects engulfed everyone, the media, too, played a role that was far from helpful. All of the media's efforts were focused on increasing their popularity and TRP rather than promoting public welfare. While COVID-19 was largely concerned with physical health, ...

A Study on Rapid Adoption of Zero Trust Network Architectures by Global Organizations Due to COVID-19 Pandemic | Chapter 3 | New Visions in Science and Technology Vol. 1

Organizations must move to identify the finest alternative techniques to secure servers as they assess numerous methods to improve data security. Due to the emergence of COVID-19, many institutions have turned their attention to Zero Trust Network Architecture (ZTNA) to prevent data loss, particularly from remote personnel. Zero trust uses a multifactor authentication system that requires all users to confirm their identity or the device they're using before connecting to a network. This security process has been effective in removing the flaws of the castle-and-moat concept that were previously employed, and it might allow an independent attack. Once in a network, an individual cannot access all materials. Following COVID-19, this cybersecurity strategy will be beneficial in providing a streamlined user experience, allowing people to manage and find content with ease. Customers benefit from the design because it establishes a unified platform that can be utilised to boost security...

A Study on Coronavirus and Nigerian Population; the Realities with Medical Laboratory Services| Chapter 14 | Issues and Development in Health Research Vol. 2

The pandemic of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) has posed a challenge to the health systems of nations with advanced technologies and those with little or no technology in medical laboratory services, such as Nigeria. The goal of containing the pandemic is critical, and including a medical laboratory component is critical to bringing COVID-19 to an end. Between February 2020 and April 2021, the medical laboratory services improved from 5 to 78 centres, which is impressive. Using the 2016 National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) population number and the Nigeria Center for Disease Control, this chapter investigated laboratory services in Nigeria in relation to the population. COVID-19 fact sheet from the National Center for Health Statistics, dated May 2, 2021. In terms of population, number of tests, and COVID-19 cases, the data shows that the federal capital territory (FCT) of Abuja, not Lagos, is the epicentre of COVID-19. In Nigeria, the COVID-19 cases may be skewed due to the availability of...

Study on the Methodology of Regressive Objective Regression According to the New SARS-CoV-2 COVID-19 Pandemic in the Municipality of Santa Clara and Cuba| Chapter 6 | Issues and Development in Health Research Vol. 2

  The COVID-19 pandemic that is sweeping the globe has taken an unusual turn in our country. The goal of the study was to predict a collection of parameters (deaths, critical, severe, serious, confirmed, and new cases) associated with the SARS pandemic CoV-2 COVID-19 in Cuba during the year 2020 using the Regressive Objective Regression (ROR) methodology. Deaths, severe, critical, confirmed, and new cases in Santa Clara municipality, Villa Clara province, and Cuba were among the parameters examined. Objective Regressive Regression (ORR) modelling was utilised, which is based on a combination of Dummy variables and ARIMA modelling. According to the ROR approach, In the first phase, the dichotomic variables DS, DI, and NoC are formed, and then the module corresponding to the Regression analysis is run, specifically the ENTER method, which returns the predicted variable and the ERROR. Mathematical models were obtained using the ROR methodology, which explained their behaviour based on...
