The article analyzes the scientific foundations set out in the book by V.E. Pashkovsky 10 lectures on autism. It is noted that the author expresses his own point of view on autism and does not agree with the position of the World Health Organization and the world psychiatric community on the diagnostic criteria and treatment strategies for autism spectrum disorders. If on the issue of the peculiarities of diagnostics, the authors arguments can be recognized as admissible, since the diagnosis in modern psychiatry reflects the consensus of specialists, then some provisions of V.E. Pashkovsky on the topic of the validity of the use of antipsychotics (neuroleptics) for the treatment of patients with autism should be considered as undocumented and misleading specialists.

The phenomenon of comorbidity in autism spectrum disorders is considered as one of the factors underlying the expressed polymorphism of the clinic of autism. According to author’s research, among 628 children with severe multiple developmental disorders, the incidence of autistic disorders was significantly higher (40—50%) than the population’s average (1%, World Health Organization data). The variations of the interrelations of autism and comorbid disorders are highlighted, the possibilities of usage the obtained data for implementation of differentiated approach to support with autism are considered

Possible Cause

In the present study the physical development of 44 children with autism spectrum disorders aged 2.5 to 15 years was assessed in Voronezh region by the percentile tables (Federal and World Health Organization). Results shows that every fourth child (25%) has a body mass index above the 50—85 corridor according to the standards of the World Health Organization, i.e. exceeds the average for children of this age and sex. The selectivity of appetite, which is reported by 72.8% of the interviewed parents of children-participants of the study, may be a possible cause.

Novel Coronavirus are very harmful virus. This viruses have positive single stranded RNA genome and enveloped which is called nucleocapsid. The family of this virus is Coronaviridae. This virus originated from species of avian and mammalian. This virus effect on upper respiratory tract in humans. Many species of these novel coronaviruses (HCoVs) are named as HCoV-HKU1, HCoV-NL63. Predominant species of this virus is Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS-CoV) across the world.  In both adults and childrens HCoV-HKU1 sp. is causes for chronic pulmonary disease and HCoV-NL63 species causes for upper and lower respiratory tract disease. Most recent species of this virus is MERS-CoV. This species caused for acute pneumonia and occasional renal failure. The new strain of novel Coronavirus is SARS-CoV-2. This strain causes for the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). This disease named by the World Health Organization. Now world fighting against COVID-19 and according to the recent statistics report of world about the COVID-19 cases approx 22.6M confirmed cases and 792K death cases appeared and recovered 14.5M. COVID-19 disease starts to spread from December 2019 from china. Covid-19 disease is emerged in Wuhan seafood market at Wuhan of South China and then rapidly spread throughout the world. The corona virus outbreak has been declared a public health emergency of International concern by World Health Organization (WHO). In this article we summarize the current clinical characteristics of coronavirus and diagnosis, treatments and prevention of COVID-19 disease. In this review article, we analyze data from various Research Reports like WHO guidelines and other articles. It is very important to the readers that new data of COVID-19 updating nearly every hour of day regarding clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment strategies, and outcomes COVID-19 disease. The degree of COVID-19 disease varying throughout the world. COVID-19 affected patient shows various symptoms like fever, cough, sore throat, breathlessness, fatigue, and malaise among others. The COVID-19 disease is being treated through general treatment like symptomatic treatment, by using antiviral drugs, oxygen therapy and by the immune system. There is no vaccine or therapeutic strategies for deal with this disease yet. In this critical situation preventive measures must be require.  A very important issue in preventing viral infection is hand hygiene. There are other entities that people can boosting the immune system and help in infection prevention.

The World Health Organization announced that Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) officially a pandemic after its detection in Wuhan, China. From a religious point of view, most churches announced a suspension of all liturgical activities. Church practices have been altered in an effort to contain the virus. In this article we will enumerate the lessons applied from Christianity to behave in such pandemics. Introduction On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that the COVID-19 officially a pandemic after barreling through 114 countries in three months and infecting over three million people [1]. It's comprehensible that people tend to use religion to deal with a crisis or explain the tragedy by reference to an Act of God and seeking a church to receive spiritual support and healing during such traumatic events. Nonetheless, all over the world, liturgical services are being suspended [2]. Several million worshipers have been deprived of the existential comfort of attending religious rituals in a moment of critical vagueness and confusion.

The category of papillary breast tumors includes a limited number of entities. Nonetheless, this relatively uncommon group of tumors seems to instigate a disproportionate degree of diagnostic disquiet. As a group, papillary breast tumors suffer from a relatively high rate of discordant interpretation. The latter is due to the inherent complexity of the lesions compounded by conflicting criteria as well as simmering controversies. For instance, “encapsulated” papillary carcinoma remains contentious with regards to whether these are noninvasive or not, and the assessment of the extent of the invasive versus noninvasive components in many solid papillary carcinomas can be problematic. The latest classification system of breast tumors enunciated by the World Health Organization (WHO), that is, Breast Tumors, which appeared in 2019, mainly sought to incorporate advances in basic and clinical sciences into diagnostic criteria for the entire spectrum of breast neoplasms—including papillary ones. The latter category of tumors is discussed at some length in Breast Tumors; however, it still appears to suffer from some lack of clarity in its subclassification. It is our intent in this communication to provide an overview of the controversies around papillary breast tumors, and offer comments on its coverage in Breast Tumors—so that any tangible or perceived ambiguities therein could be addressed in its next edition.

Vascular dementia (VaD) is the second most common subtype of dementia in Western countries (Desmond, 1996) and, overall, may be the most common subtype of dementia in the world (Henderson, 1994). Furthermore, the recognition of some major risk factors of cerebrovascular disease makes VaD a form of ‘preventable senility’ (Hachinski, 1992). The last decade has seen a major re-evaluation of the concept of VaD (Erkinjuntti & Hachinski, 1993; Hachinski, 1994), with new diagnostic criteria having been proposed (World Health Organization, 1993; American Psychiatric Association, 1994) but without any consensus (Wetterling et al. 1996). Indeed, some investigators have called for the abandonment of the diagnosis of VaD and the adoption of alternative nosology (Hachinski, 1994). It is therefore time to re-examine the concept of VaD and evaluate its distinctive features.

Wilkins and colleagues evaluate the utility of the World Health Organization (WHO) diagnostic criteria intended to separate cases previously classified as essential thrombocythemia (ET) into 2 groups: “true ET” and “prefibrotic myelofibrosis.” Focusing on bone marrow histology, the authors found substantial variation in classification of cases.
