Background Anal fissure is one of the most common anorectal problems. After an outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has rapidly spread from China to almost all over the world, it nearly affected all countries. In spite of its typical presentation in the form of fever, cough, myalgia, fatigue and pneumonia, other GIT manifestations were reported. We found some of COVID-19 survivors who had complained from anal fissure problem. The aim of this study was to report the prevalence of acute anal fissure among COVID-19 patients, its possible risk factors and outcome. Methods This is a retrospective cross-sectional study which was conducted over three months from the start of September 2020 to the end of November 2020 at Mansoura university isolation hospital, on COVID-19 patients' who were diagnosed with anal fissure. Those who survived and were discharged home safely were telephone called to pick up whether they suffered from any symptoms of anal pain, difficulty in defecation suggesting anal fissure, in order to identify their outcomes, the risk factors for anal fissure development and how they were managed. Results A total of 176 patients were enrolled in this study. Patients were categorized into two groups. The first group included patients who developed anal fissure (n=65) and the 2nd group included patients who did not develop anal fissure (n=111). No significant difference was noted in demographic data apart from the age which was younger in the fissure group. The incidence of anal fissure was 36.9% of total population. The majority of patients' anal fissure problem resolved spontaneously after patients improved from the COVID symptoms without receiving any treatment (43.1%). Conclusion Anal fissure is quite common problem after COVID-19. Young and middle age patients are more vulnerable to develop anal fissure after COVID-19 infection.
This study aims to design a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and apply an attention model to help differentiate pneumonia due to Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), pneumonia due to other viruses/bacteria, and normal chest x-ray (CXR) in clinical practice. A bank of digital chest images from a high-complexity health facility in Cali, Colombia, was used.
All participants will be assessed for immunogenicity and safety endpoints and provide a blood sample before the administration of the first dose of IP. Blood samples will be collected on days 0, 9 (Groups 1, 3 and 4), 28,37 (Groups 2 and 4), 56, 90 and 180 to assess the neutralizing antibody titer against the SARSCoV-2 virus. A subset of 160 Participants (40 participants from each group) will be assessed for immunogenicity analysis, among these subset 10mL of blood and 5mL of saliva will be collected on days 0, 9 (Groups 1, 3 and 4), 28, 37 (Groups 2 and 4), 56, 90 and 180 to assess cell-mediated immunity and mucosal immunogenicity. Group 1 (COVAXIN® + COVAXIN®): In this group, 152 participants will be recruited who will receive COVAXIN® on day 0 and on day 28 via the intramuscular route. Group 2 (COVAXIN® + BBV154): In this group, 152 participants will be recruited who will receive COVAXIN® (Intramuscular) on day 0 and BBV154 (Intranasal) day 28. *Post 56 days of vaccination, participants with seroconversion rate less than 3 folds will receive another dose of COVAXIN® viaintramuscular route. Group 3 (BBV154 + COVAXIN®): In this group, 152 participants will be recruited who will receive BBV154 (Intranasal) on day 0 and COVAXIN® (Intramuscular) on day 28. *Post 56 days of vaccination, participants with seroconversion rate less than 3 folds will receive another dose of COVAXIN® via intramuscular route. Group 4 (BBV154 + BBV154): In this group, 152 participants will be recruited who will receive BBV154 on day 0 and on day 28 via the intranasal route.
The aim of this project is to determine the effect of training given to children aged 11-14 on hand hygiene and mask use. In line with this general purpose, the hypotheses of the research are as follows: H0= Education given to children aged 11-14 on hand hygiene and mask use has no effect on children's hand hygiene and mask use behaviors. H1= With the education given to children aged 11-14 on hand hygiene and mask use, children will exhibit more correct hand hygiene and mask use behaviors.
this study will be conducted to investigate the effect of Active Cycle Breathing Technique and incentive spirometer on COVID19 patient
The investigators conducted a single-center, open-label, parallel-group randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy and safety of a Chinese herb compound granule Huashi Baidu granule (HSBDG) in pediatric patients with laboratory-confirmed mild COVID-19. 108 recruited children (aged 3 to 18 years) with laboratory-confirmed mild COVID-19 were randomly allocated 2:1 to receive oral HSBDG for 5 consecutive days (intervention group) and to receive compound pholcodine oral solution for 5 consecutive days (control group). The negative conversion time of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid and symptom scores were recorded.
The purpose of this study is to a) assess how coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) affects cardiac function in middle age and older adults and b) assess if a physical activity intervention (increased daily step count by 2,000) can affect cardiac function in a population with a history of COVID-19.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus 2 (CoV 2) (COVID19) is a readily transmissible virus that has a wide ranging incubation period of 2-14 days. The symptoms include fever, cough and loss of taste and smell. Symptoms range from mild to severe. Pre-existing potential drug therapies are under investigation, but so far few have demonstrated any benefit and only in patients with severe symptoms. There is a scarcity of other pre-existing drug treatments that change the outcomes/symptoms in non-hospitalised patients with COVID-19. Prophylaxis and prevention is currently dependent on social distancing and isolating with vaccines remaining in development, potentially not for mass use in the near future. Sambucus extract has well documented anti-viral properties both in vitro and in clinical trials of influenza, it has a low side effect profile so may be effective in reducing duration of symptoms and progression to more severe disease in patients with mild/ moderate COVID19. Black Elderberry Original Liquid (Sambucus nigra) (Sambucol®) is sold as a food supplement in heath food shops and supermarkets, does not require a prescription and has no known side effects, meaning it would be a well-tolerated treatment in early disease in comparison with other potential medications. The study will be conducted at East Kent Hospitals. Potential participants with mild or moderate confirmed COVID19 infection will be identified from the drive-through hospital test centre and accident and emergency. Following an eligibility check and consenting they would be randomised to placebo or Sambucol® Black Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) 15ml four times daily for 14 days which they will take at home. Telephone consultations with the research team and patient daily diaries will used to document symptoms on days 1,3,7,10,14 and a follow up on day 28. Time to clinical improvement will be compared between the 2 groups.
World Health Organization (WHO) Novel-19 Corrosion Disease (COVID) in 2019 without being used by a pathway caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. After the acute period in COVID-19 patients, muscle weakness may continue in breathing, weakness, and training. The effects on core stabilization, pulmonary functions, respiratory muscle strength, physical activity scores and quality of life in healthy adults who do not have COVID-19 who do regular exercise may be higher than in healthy adults who do regular exercise with COVID-19.
