Antiviral treatment options for covid-19 by reduction of viral load and viral shedding
No full textThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) virus is a public
health emergency of international concern, without known
effective pharmaceutical treatment so far. It is difficult to
treat infected patients who are experiencing acute
respiratory failure, liver or cardiac injury, gastroenteritis
and many other complications without any drug
recommendation. Reducing the viral load is the most
important key for Covid-19 treatment, where complication
due to infection is highly correlated with the number of
viral particles present in the lung and other organs of the
patient. Most antivirals are effective against a wide range
of viruses, where they inhibit viral development. Some of
the possible antiviral treatment options for COVID-19
could be discovered from flu viral treatment that had led
to quick respiratory illness recovery through reduction of
viral load and viral shedding
Zinc supplementation for respiratory illness and acute gastroenteritis as complement treatment for covid-19
No full textAn outbreak of atypical pneumonia by the novel
coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has been reported in
Wuhan, China since December, 2019. It is a severe
respiratory illness with many other symptoms such as
gastroenteritis. Clinical trials has proved that Zn is a
promising supplement that can ease of cough, fever and
vomiting, dysentery, respiratory illness, diarrhea duration
and recovery, duration of hospitalization and morbidity.
This article suggests a potential role, which should be
considered in the clinical management, and safeness
for Zn supplementation for respiratory illness and acute
gastroenteritis as compliment treatment for covid-19
Risk factors of covid 19 transmission in cholera endemic countries
No full textCOVID-19 is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causing deaths, illnesses and
economic despair. The least developed countries have limited or lack of medicine, ventilators, beds, water electricity,
availability of doctors’ service for a large population and facing challenges to handle the economic fallout of
the crisis. Cholera patients are more likely to reside in a slum, and this triggers worries with higher infection and spread
chances if they were to be contracted with coronavirus. Decrease maternal education and reduce family income could
increase cholera risk in rural children. Low Socioeconomic status, clean water supply and limited healthcare facilities may
pose risks of covid spread. Should an awareness and knowledge of covid 19 in cholera endemic setting is developed, it is the
residents of poor nation that stand to benefit the most
Treatment of gastroenteritis in covid-19 children
No full textSARS-CoV-2 is highly contagious and has resulted in a rapid
pandemic of COVID-19 that posing a threat to public
health. They are causing a severe acute respiratory
syndrome and known to infect the neurological, enteric,
and hepatic systems. The aim of this document is to
provide recommendations for a systematic approach for
the gastroenteritis treatment in COVID-19 children where
most important treatment options where discussed
The poorly understood yet potent risk of pulmonary artery thrombosis in-situ in Post-Acute COVID-19 syndrome
No full textAbstract Pulmonary artery thrombosis in-situ is a term used to describe a pulmonary embolism occurs in the absence of deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremities. Most cases occur in a patient who had a recent traumatic injury to the chest. Other risk factors include the presence of hypercoagulable conditions, including inflammatory state, hypoxia and vascular endothelial injury. Although it has been discussed extensively in the acute COVID-19 disease, pulmonary artery thrombosis in-situ that occur in the setting of Post-Acute COVID-19 syndrome is not commonly reported and poorly understood
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
