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.

COVID-19 has overwhelmed the capacity of health care systems, limiting access to supportive and palliative care for patients with advanced cancer. Telemedicine has emerged as a tool to provide care continuity to patients while limiting the risk of contagion. However, implementing telemedicine in resource-limited settings is challenging. We report the results of a multidisciplinary patient-navigator-led telemedicine supportive care program in Dnipro City. One-hundred sixty-five telemedicine interventions were provided to 50 patients (median age 67, 47% female). A quarter of the patients had less than or equal to elementary school education, and 18% lived in a rural area. The most common interventions were psychological care (30%), pain and symptom control (27%), and nutritional counseling (10%). Half of the interventions were provided by video conferencing. The most common patient-reported barrier was limited experience using communication technology. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of providing supportive and palliative care interventions using telemedicine in resource-limited settings.

The examination of human factors’ role in moderating medical interventions and hospitalizations and/or rehospitalization of heart failure (HF) patients. Objectives: The primary purpose of this study is two-fold: 1) to show relevant human factors influencing the rehospitalization of persons with heart failure by developing a systematic algorithm generated from the cited randomized trials; and 2) to examine how the self-care principles, such as choice/efficacy, restfulness, healing environment, activity, trust, interpersonal relationships, outlook, and nutrition, may reduce heart failure readmissions. Methods: The meta-analytic approach generated a theoretically relevant and empirically validated self-care management decision support protocol for HF. Statistical modeling of the effects of eight human factors for the reduction of HF readmissions was presented. Findings: The systematic review and meta-analysis approach documents the results of randomized clinical trials that affect heart failure hospitalization by selected human factors. A patient-centered decision support system was developed to facilitate the self-care management of heart failure. Discussion: Our research generates systematic knowledge about the importance of human-factor principles in the provision of geriatric care for heart failure. Using shared decision-making strategies under the population health management approach could enhance the quality of care and reduce costly readmissions of heart failure, particularly for elderly patients.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is arguably the most socially and economically disruptive pandemic since the 1918 influenza pandemic. Although pediatric COVID-19 shares features with the adult disease, there are several differences. Children produce virus in amounts at least equal to adults, if not higher and can transmit the virus just as adults can. School-aged children are generally less severely affected than infants or adults, but some children without significant underlying disease become ill or die in a disease process analogous to the one most commonly seen in adults as severe pulmonary disease and respiratory failure. Children and adults appear to have different humoral immune responses to COVID-19.

Knowledge of autism is growing tremendously, since the first formulation of the phenomenon of autism in 1943, there is still no cure for the cure of changes in the brain that create the symptoms of autism. I still find better ways of understanding the disease and help patients adapt, but does not give a full understanding of what autism. There are different types of therapy in the field of speech, behavior, vision, hearing, as well as drugs and dietary recommendations, but they are often ineffective. Treatments should be tailored to the individual needs of the patient. The author of that work will pay attention to corrective therapy movement, and the mechanism of imitation, these two factors in autism do not exhibit synchronization, because the child did not received during the birth. Autistic children from the area have movement disorders, and the lack of a mechanism to follow. My research results confirm the view that the movement disorder and the mechanism of imitation are inherent in the phenomenon of autism. The study of movement disorders in children, and the mechanism of imitation, may serve as an early indicator of autism diagnosis methods. They point to the need for the development of therapies to be used from the first months of life in autism.
