Abstract

Background: Gender differences among the responses to the COVID-19 disease needs to studied. Aspandemic is growing and more and more cases are being registered, correlation between disease and genderresponse if any should be examined.Summary: pandemic of COVID-19 is evolving which reported its first case in Wuhan, PRC, considerableamount and efforts are only directed towards containment of the virus. The effect of the pandemic on pregnantwomen physiologically, psychologically and classification by socioeconomic status can give better trendsto study. Further mortality rate between men and women and reason behind it can be evidently proved afterthrough study. After all, one solution to different problems cannot be implemented. Middle East respiratorysyndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) also belonging to similar family of thecoronavirus have more things to study regarding which strategy should be employed in containing the viralspread. Vertical transmission is not seen yet but occurrences of sporadic deaths of infants or still birth couldbe explained after research.Conclusion: Gender based case fatality rate and its reasons can be extremely helpful in treating the patientwith specific gender. Psychological state in the time of distress always been a cause of worry. It worries morewhen identified in pregnant state. All these aspects need to studied thoroughly

Abstract

Immobilization hypercalcemia is a diagnosis in which excessive bone metabolism abnormalities andconditions related to reduced movement such as medullar lesions or vascular cases. Investigation needs amore evaluation to find out other causes of hypercalcemia.Incidence rate of immobilization hypercalcemiais 11?22% in spinal cord injury group and 20?30% in immobilized patients secondaryto fractures in 2 caseseries .Usually itoccurs 4?6 weeks post trauma (1 week?16weeks)may stay elevated for up to 12 monthsbased onmobilization. Aim-To determine the prevalence of hypercalcemia among immobilized patients.Materials and Methods-An analytical research approach and a cross-sectional research design were used.The study was conducted in Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital; Sawangi Meghe Wardha.The sampleswere selected using purposive sampling technique, sample size was 30 and blood test done for screeningafter written informed consent.There were total 30 patients, blood samples which were carried out duringstudyperiod, it was concluded that out of 30 immobilized patients 14 patients is having hypercalcemia inimmobilized state.

Abstract

Background: The unprecedented situation unfolded by the COVID-19 pandemic needs tools and measuresof varying degrees. Contact tracing is one of them. Contact tracing has become buzz word these days. Alongwith non- pharmacological interventions (NPI) this is one of the major tools employed by the local healthcare authorities.Summary: The contact tracing measure is major part of the response against COVID-19 pandemic.Methods of contact tracing and its efficient way to carry them out needs to be studied. The efficacy of thecontact tracing mechanism needs strong backing of empirical data upon which research is ongoing. Furthercombining the manual and digital contact tracing is the option authorities needs to check out. Health carehuman resource crunch can be addressed by creating civilian vigilantes to inform the health authorities aboutthe possible suspected case. In case of digital tracing the data minimization and anonymizing the data inwhich there is no name attached with the particular data can used so that doubts about data privacy shouldget vanished. Balancing between controlling case fatality rate and infection rate with the help of proper andadequate resourceful data is the key to effectively control the spread along with easing of restriction and steptowards normalization of lives.Conclusion: More thorough study is needed with numerical data backing to establish the efficacy and therelation between controlling the case count and contact tracing.
