Infection with SARS-CoV-2 virus is a serious challenge for the entire medical and scientific community. Medical institutions are facing record numbers of patients and conflicting claims about SARS-CoV-2 and due to its mutagenic properties, thanks to the D614G protein from Coronavirus (CoV) defining the determines the mutagenicity of SARS - CoV and MERS-CoV [1,2]. With the expansion of the COVID-19 Pandemic, researchers have reported [3] clinical cases of multisystemic inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), similar to Kawasaki disease (KD). Due to the absence of a diagnostic marker for KD, the latter is established according to the criteria of the American Society of Cardiology, in this situation with associated SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Stigmatizing attitudes toward persons with mental syndromes are prevalent in the general population and even among mental health professionals, a problem that may result easily in public avoidance, constant discrimination, and declined help-seeking behavior. The effect of stigma is twofold: Public stigma is the response that the public has to people with mental disorder. Self-stigma is the bigotry which persons with mental disorder turn against themselves. The WHO has advised that stigma is one of the largest barricades to treatment engagement, even if management is operative, even in low-income nations. While before and according to a series of researches the outcome of severe mental illness is generally better in developing societies than in developed countries, and it has been suggested that stigma is less severe or non-existent in unindustrialized nations, the current studies and observations do not confirm such an optimistic hint and the idea that stigma attached to mental illness is a global phenomenon seems a reasonable inference. In the present article, the issue of stigmatization, deinstitutionalization, national goal setting, and real situation of various modules of psychiatric rehabilitation, in the context of social or public psychiatry, especially in developing countries, is discussed, from a practical point of view.

Due to safety concerns to health care workers and the patients alike, hospitals are have been in a desperate search for medical supplies and physicians in the face of overloaded hospitals. The need for social distancing to safeguard the health care personnel and patients have warranted new tools for running an ophthalmic clinic. Before the implementation of social distancing measures, most patients were ignorant of a telemedicine option in clinical visits. Also, leading telehealth platforms have reported a tremendous increase in virtual patient visits. This rise has been proportional to the regional impacts brought by coronavirus infection. In this review article, we tried to highlight the challenges faced by healthcare providers and patients in the ophthalmology clinic.

This paper compares the number of infected cases and deaths of an ongoing pandemic of COVID-19 outbreak for Bangladesh, India and Pakistan for the period of March 8, 2020 to September 21, 2020. Comparisons among countries using absolute numbers are not comparable due to different factors, such as population sizes, rates of per 100,000 and also because not all countries are affected equally and at the same time. Following Middelburg and Rosendaal (2020), we graphically compare the number of cases and deaths expressed as a percentage of the cases and deaths on the reference day 25 after the first reported death. To see the impact of reference days, several later reference days are also considered in this study. From these comparisons, clear differences were observed among countries. Among these three countries, it is observed that Bangladesh had the most extreme flattening of the curve, followed by Pakistan and then India. We observed that the epidemic developed in India much more rapidly as compare to Bangladesh and Pakistan.
