Does translocal vulnerability apply to labor migrants into the sesame production belt amid covid-19? Evidence from districts in Ethiopia
This study tries to connect the current spread of covid-19 with the translocal vulnerability context. Primarily, it empirically argued the translocal vulnerability factor is the main determinant for the farm households to send families’ labor as a livelihood diversification strategy. Very limited studies consider the translocal vulnerability implication of migration; notably to the best of the researchers’ knowledge, studies that linked covid-19 with translocal vulnerability context are scant. On top of that, many studies that link migration with covid-19 tend to be inclined to international migration with very limited...

EPH43 Potential Association of Remdesivir and Hyperkalemia: A Disproportionality Analysis in USFDA Adverse Event Reporting System Database
Signal detection is one of the most advanced and promising techniques in the world of pharmacovigilance. Remdesivir is approved for emergency use by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Its benefit- risk ratio is still being explored because data in the field are rather scant. On the other hand hyperkalemia is a potentially life-threatening electrolyte disorder. Severe hyperkalemia can occur suddenly and can cause life-threatening heart rhythm changes (arrhythmia) that cause a heart attack.

Never Thought I was Going to be Placed in a Situation Like This: In the Shoes of the Doctor Responsible for Municipal Health, Back in My Country, Per ú
AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic changed the way of living on the planet and, in my case, revealed the fragility of primary care services to respond to a health emergency that mainly affected older adults. Upon obtaining my medical degree, I felt guaranteed to have the skills to be a primary care physician; however, the coronavirus gave me “a reality bath with the aroma of impotence, bewilderment, and abandonment.“ Contradictory provisions and regulations, absence of a continuous policy, poor leadership, insufficient resources, and mismanagement by the Ministry of Health. Scandals of possible corruption and vices in the p...

Exploring spatiotemporal patterns of COVID-19 infection in Nagasaki Prefecture in Japan using prospective space-time scan statistics from April 2020 to April 2022
ConclusionsThis study gives an overall analysis of the transmission dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic in Nagasaki Prefecture, based on the number of machi-level daily cases. Furthermore, the findings in different waves can serve as references for subsequent pandemic prevention and control. This method helps the health authorities track and investigate outbreaks of COVID-19 that are specific to these environments, especially in rural areas where healthcare resources are scarce.

Milder disease trajectory among COVID-19 patients hospitalised with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant compared with the Delta variant in Norway
Scand J Public Health. 2022 Jul 7:14034948221108548. doi: 10.1177/14034948221108548. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUsing individual-level national registry data, we conducted a cohort study to estimate differences in the length of hospital stay, and risk of admission to an intensive care unit and in-hospital death among patients infected with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron variant, compared with patients infected with Delta variant in Norway. We included 409 (38%) patients infected with Omicron and 666 (62%) infected with Delta who were hospitalised with coronavirus disease 2019 (C...

Deep learning representations to support COVID-19 diagnosis on CT slices
CONCLUSION: Deep representations have achieved outstanding performance in the identification of COVID-19 cases on CT scans demonstrating good characterization of the COVID-19 radiological patterns. These representations could potentially support the COVID-19 diagnosis in clinical settings.PMID:35471179 | DOI:10.7705/biomedica.5927
