The recent surge in COVID-19 cases in the state of Kerala in India has been studied in this article. The dynamics of virus spread, sero-survey results, health index, and herd immunity concept have been applied. Kerala, with the highest score on the health index among all the states of India, is most susceptible to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Kerala has nearly the same number of cases as Germany. The “Health Index Theory” established in this review article first has explained well the surge in the cases. Briefly, the concept of COVID-19 herd immunity has also been tested first.

Introduction: The COVID19 pandemic causes strokes in younger patient populations with higher deficits. We examined recent numbers of stroke consults, their age and deficits in a large telestroke program and compared them to 2019 Hypothesis: Increased younger stroke consults in 2020 would involve higher deficits associated with COVID19. Methods: The Institute for Digital Health & Innovation-Stroke Program provides neurology support to 54 spoke hospitals across Arkansas. Stroke consults who received Alteplase during 01/01/20 to 07/31/20 were compared to the same months in 2019. Retrospective analysis included consult age, geographical region, mechanical thrombectomy (MT), deficits (initial and post NIHSS) and outcomes. Age was listed as < 65 or >/=65 yrs. The state was blocked into seven geographical regions. MT was noted and deficits as improved, worsened, same (no improvement) or unknown. COVID19 positivity was unknown. Results: Consult numbers declined in 2020 vs. 2019, 285 vs. 370, respectively. Both years saw MT in approximately 10%; however, 27% went to hospice or expired in 2020 vs. 7.7% in 2019. In 2020 and 2019, those < 65 consults who received MT were similar at 37 and 41% of total procedures, respectively. Pre-pandemic, there were significant differences in consult numbers among the seven regions (X2=30.1,n=370,p=0.037) in 2020, there were none (p=NS). The number of consults < 65 or >/= 65 years were not different between years(p=0.61); however, age had a similar significant effect on the initial NIHSS in both 2019 and 2020 (X2=13.5,n=370,p=0.0037 and X2=10.8,n=285,p=0.012, respectively). Improvement in initial deficit scores did not change (X2=6.9,n=655,p=0.074). No geographical differences were seen (p=0.66). Monthly initial deficits indicated a significant peak rise in the younger consults (< 65) in April 2020. Conclusion: Stroke consult numbers declined by 13% in 2020 but the proportion of young and old were unchanged. In April 2020, younger consults (< 65) experienced a spike in deficits. Further evaluation throughout 2020 is warranted as COVID19 cases spread.

Using unified and developed methods, some hematological, biochemical and indicators of the micro- and macroelement status of the body in Bukhara women of fertile age with a normal hemoglobin health index and iron deficiency have been studied. It has been shown that there are certain pathological fluctuations in some hematological, biochemical and essential hematopoietic microelements in women of fertile age when they develop an iron deficiency state. In particular, there is hypoproteinemia, hypoferremia, hypocincemia, hypocuremia, and hypertransferrinemia. This phenomenon can be used to monitor the state of hemoglobin health in women of fertile age.

This article analyzes the experience of the São Paulo Military Hospital (HMASP) in the area of digital health, telemedicine and telehealth. The goal is to present the state of the art of digital health at the HMASP, a history of its recent implementation and the challenges regarding the technological conditions existing in the field of videocolaboration for surgery and teleassistance. The article also analyzes some experiences in the area of telemedicine used at the HMASP by the Brazilian Army and also lists future challenges regarding the intensive use of videocolaborative processes in digital health.

This article considers one of the problems that does not lose its significance for the characteristics of the state of human health. The fact that an application for working with artificial intelligence algorithms using the determinants of the international classification of the functioning of several body functions has not yet been developed indicates the importance of this project to create a digital health profile. In this article, we will study the International Classification of Functioning and artificial intelligence algorithms that allow it to be used. We will consider the work on classifying the obtained data by classes according to the determinants of the international classification of functioning using artificial intelligence algorithms, comparing forecast models and further optimization to create the most suitable classification model. The article presents the study of the main methods of data processing, statistics related to the state of human health from the database under consideration, and a set of machine learning methods, information search methods. It is planned to study the problems and algorithms of data analysis and their application to solve problems of the state of human health.

South Western Sydney (SWS) is one of the fastest growing regions in the state of New South Wales (Australia). Much of the population live in local government areas (LGAs) with levels of disadvantage higher than the state average, with a predominance of non-communicable and chronic diseases that are typically associated with age-related and behavioural factors. This necessitates the management of social determinants of health through the integrated provision of primary and social care. The SWS Local Health District and Primary Health Network is exploring the potential of community health alliances (CHAs) as an innovative approach to support the provision of integrated health services. CHAs are a population health approach for addressing health challenges faced by people who share a common area of residence, sociocultural characteristic or health need, and are characterised by a shared mission, shared resource needs and acquiring/developing necessary organisational knowledge and skills. We explore how CHAs operate as social enterprises that utilise digital health and citizen engagement to deliver integrated people-centred health services (IPCHS) by conducting two case studies of CHAs operating in SWS: in Wollondilly and Fairfield LGAs. Using this approach, we aim to unpack the conceptual convergence that enables social enterprises to utilise digital health interventions and citizen engagement strategies to co-produce IPCHS with a view to developing theory and a framework for engaging digital citizens in integrated primary health care via social enterprise.
