Abstract Introduction The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been declared as public health emergency of international concern. India is also facing this crisis with increasing number of patients being reported day by day. Here, we present a case report of COVID-19-positive patient treated with homoeopathy. Case Profile A 60-year-old female patient with fever for 4 days, cough and difficulty in breathing, headache, sore throat, loose stools and frequent urination with burning and generalised weakness for 7 days was considered for treatment in the present study. Based on the symptomatology, Arsenicum album 30 and Bryonia alba 30 were prescribed to her. Conclusion A patient of COVID-19 was successfully treated by homoeopathic medicines based on symptom similarity. Individualised homoeopathic intervention with precautionary measures can be an answer to the ongoing crisis.

Abstract Background: A newly infectious diseases named coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in China and now has spread in many countries, and constituted a public health emergency of international concern. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used as salvage therapies in critical COVID-19 patients with respiratory/cardiac failure. Case presentation: A 49-year-old female patient was diagnosed with COVID-19 and progressed to critical cases, she was successfully treated with the application of awake extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. This case is the first reported successfully treatment of application awake ECMO in critical COVID-19 patient in China.Conclusions: Here we present the first reported successfully treatment of application awake ECMO in critical COVID-19 patient, however, whether awake ECMO can be widely used in the treatment of critical COVID-19 patients need more practice.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has initially categorised COVID-19 infection as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) in late January 2020 and later on declared the outbreak as a pandemic on March 11, 2020. On February 4, 2020 the first Malaysian positive COVID-19 patients was detected. It was estimated through a thorough decision tree technique, cumulatively 22,000 positive patients were expected to be infected nationwide. At the current rate of disease detection, screening yield and clinical capacity in Malaysia, the identification of the positive patients will have to be continuously done until middle of May 2020. In addition, a prediction with the forecasted testing capacity was also conducted. In contrast with the earlier estimation, massive testing causes the number of positive patients to be saturated earlier, by the end of April 2020. Based on the projection, 346, 307 cumulative tests will be conducted with 225,100 cumulative positive cases will be identified. Of the numbers, the cumulative number of patients in care would be 17,631 with 705 cumulative number of admission to intensive care unit and 353 cumulative patients required for ventilator. The cumulative death and cumulative discharge are expected to be 394 and 6008 respectively. Currently, it is challenging for Malaysia to flatten the epidemic curve due to the constraints of healthcare resources. These challenges potentially highlight the need for realistic strategies with regard to the country’s capacity.

In recent years, primary aldosteronism (PA) has been found to have a much higher prevalence than previously thought, especially among those with resistant hypertension. As hypertension has become a prominent public health issue affecting billions of people, the number of patients potentially affected by PA is a significant. Current medical and surgical therapies for PA are highly effective, and as untreated PA can lead to significant cardiovascular morbidity and mortality this stresses the importance of astute diagnosis and management on part of physicians. We present a case of a patient presenting with cardiovascular complications of untreated primary aldosteronism and review recent guidelines regarding screening, diagnosis, and management.

The coronavirus outbreak is a global public health emergency with high transmission among the population. Over 18 million people were affected globally (06th August 2020). In most of the cases, patients present flu-like symptoms, such as fever, cough, headaches and myalgias are commonly reported. Lockdown measures have been implemented to control the spread of the virus. In contrast, these measures have been reported to increase the probability of psychological and physical disorders. As the pandemic intensifies, the number of patients seeking dental emergency services due to acute symptoms (i.e. pulpitis, acute apical abscesses) has increased. There is an increasing need to investigate the association between psychological disorders and dental emergencies. There is critical need for the development of public policies for mental and dental health worldwide, leading to the improvement in the quality of life of the population.

Artava Kshaya is the most common disease among women nowadays. Its prevalence is increasing day by day due to present lifestyle, food habits, stressful lifestyle and many other endocrine and other causes. This is a case study of a female patient who was suffering from delayed menstruation since 1.5 year. She was interrogated for the de- tailed history and all necessary routine, hormonal and other investigations were done. Then the treatment was planned according to her presenting complaint. She was treated with Shatapushpa kalpa and Shatapushpa Taila Matra Basti for 2 consecutive cycles. She got her menstruation at regular interval while taking medicines and then she was kept on 2 months of follow up after cessation of medicine. She still continued to have her menstruation regularly without medicine. Keywords: Artava kshaya, Shatapushpa Kalpa, Shatapushpa taila matra basti, Oligomenorrhoea

Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) emerged as a public health emergency recently, leading to fatal respiratory failure in a number of patients. The clinical manifestation of Covid-19 is manifold, cardio-respiratory symptoms and multiorgan failure being the most critical. Anosmia was reported to be an early symptom in a significant number of Covid-19 patients and is frequently the only symptom without underlying nasal congestion. Here we present neuropathological work-up of olfactory epithelium and associated olfactory nerves from two patients succumbing to Covid-19, one of which was anosmic. We show that SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with inflammation in the olfactory epithelium and leads to axonal damage in olfactory structures of the CNS - potentially explaining anosmic symptoms.

UNSTRUCTURED COVID-19 is a viral disease that unfolded in the city of Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019. The global outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic has prompted the World Health Organization to declare a public health emergency. The concerns about the COVID-19 disease are the rapid increase in the number of patients as well as the number of deaths compared with SARS disease. Given that there is a remarkable variability amongst people for COVID-19, there really is the possibility that there will be genetic and environmental effects, it is a necessity that their role should be absolutely identified as soon as possible. Various studies have been executed on the effects of genetic and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity on the constancy of the COVID-19 virus. In this review, we aimed to discuss the benefits and effects of these factors on COVID-19 in detail.
