OBJECTIVES: To present the main characteristics, diagnosis and physiotherapeutic approach of pediatric patients infected with COVID-19. METHODS: This is an integrative literature review carried out from February to June 2020 regarding the physiotherapeutic approach in children diagnosed with COVID- 19. The search was performed in the PubMed database with the keywords “coronavirus”, “pediatric”, and “physiotherapy” crossed by through the boolean “AND” operator in the past four months. Articles that addressed only the subtype COVID-19 in pediatric patients were included and duplicate articles were excluded. In addition, research was carried out on protocols/articles from the Ministry of Health and Associations. RESULTS: 273 articles were found in the PubMed database; however, 25 were included according to the selection criteria previously determined, in addition to 1 articles/association protocols that were also included. CONCLUSIONS: It was verified through this integrative review that the main characteristics of pediatric patients infected by COVID-19 are: mean age of involvement of 7 years; transmission by direct and/or indirect contact with respiratory droplets; different pathophysiology of adults due to different immune response; and mild symptoms with a good prognosis. The diagnosis is given by the clinical picture and categorized by severity: asymptomatic, mild, moderate, severe, and very serious. Among the proposed approaches, the following stand out: oxygen therapy, invasive mechanical ventilation, maintenance of the elevated headboard (30º-45º), prone position, and early mobilization.

PURPOSE: To present recent studies that used the ultrasound in the fields of Speech Language Pathology and Audiology, which evidence possibilities of the applicability of this technique in different subareas. RESEARCH STRATEGY: A bibliographic research was carried out in the PubMed database, using the keywords "ultrasonic," "speech," "phonetics," "Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences," "voice," "deglutition," and "myofunctional therapy," comprising some areas of Speech Language Pathology and Audiology Sciences. The keywords "ultrasound," "ultrasonography," "swallow," "orofacial myofunctional therapy," and "orofacial myology" were also used in the search. SELECTION CRITERIA: Studies in humans from the past 5 years were selected. In the preselection, duplicated studies, articles not fully available, and those that did not present direct relation between ultrasound and Speech Language Pathology and Audiology Sciences were discarded. DATA ANALYSIS: The data were analyzed descriptively and classified subareas of Speech Language Pathology and Audiology Sciences. The following items were considered: purposes, participants, procedures, and results. RESULTS: We selected 12 articles for ultrasound versus speech/phonetics subarea, 5 for ultrasound versus voice, 1 for ultrasound versus muscles of mastication, and 10 for ultrasound versus swallow. Studies relating "ultrasound" and "Speech Language Pathology and Audiology Sciences" in the past 5 years were not found. CONCLUSION: Different studies on the use of ultrasound in Speech Language Pathology and Audiology Sciences were found. Each of them, according to its purpose, confirms new possibilities of the use of this instrument in the several subareas, aiming at a more accurate diagnosis and new evaluative and therapeutic possibilities.

The Relationship

The rise of e-commerce has brought considerable changes to the relationship between firms and consumers, especially within international business. Hence, understanding the use of such means for entering foreign markets has become critical for companies. However, the research on this issue is new and so it is important to evaluate what has been studied in the past. In this study, we conduct a systematic review of e-commerce and internationalisation studies to explicate how firms use e-commerce to enter new markets and to export. The studies are classified by theories and methods used in the literature. Moreover, we draw upon the internationalisation decision process (antecedents-modalities-consequences) to propose an integrative framework for understanding the role of e-commerce in internationalisation

Purpose Because of the increased global competition and the need for environment consciousness, organisations have started focusing on incorporating sustainability dimensions into suppler selection criteria. In the past decade, sustainable supplier selection has received much attention from researchers as well as industry practitioners. The purpose of this paper is to identify various sustainable supplier selection criteria (SSSC) and underlying interdependencies among prominent selection criteria to develop a framework for sustainability dimensions. Design/methodology/approach The sustainable criteria for supplier selection were established through comprehensive literature review. An interpretive structural modelling (ISM) approach is used to investigate the interrelationships among these criteria. Findings A total of 21 SSSC under 3 dimensions (social, environmental and economic) are established. Ten criteria related to quality, capability, flexibility, waste management, pollution prevention, local community, employment practice, labour, etc. are exhibiting strong driving as well as dependence power, as demonstrated through ISM and matriced’ impacts croises-multiplication applique’ and classement (MICMAC) analysis. The findings show that delivery/service, eco design and rights of stakeholders are the “key” criteria having a high-driving and low-dependence power. These criteria require high attention from managers, while other criteria having low-driving and high-dependence power require secondary actions. Research limitations/implications The inter-relations for the development of ISM model and MICMAC analysis were obtained through the opinion of industry experts and academicians, which may tend to be subjectively biased. Further exploration is proposed to statistically validate the developed interdependency model. Practical implications This paper might act as a reference for the supplier development managers of organisations by providing an appraisal of various SSSC based on their interdependencies. Originality/value This study contributes to the knowledge base by proposing a framework of the interrelationships of the SSSC and also provides an additional perspective for managing these criteria based on ISM.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by motor and nonmotor symptoms. Both of them imply a negative impact on Health-Related Quality of Life. A significant one is the stigma experienced by the parkinsonian patients and their caregivers. Moreover, stigma may affect everyday life and patient’s subjective and relational perception and it may lead to frustration and isolation. Aim of the present work is to qualitatively describe the stigma of PD patients stemming from literature review, in order to catch the subjective experience and the meaning of the stigma construct. Literature review was performed on PubMed database and Google Scholar (keywords: Parkinson Disease, qualitative, stigma, social problem, isolation, discrimination) and was restricted to qualitative data: 14 articles were identified to be suitable to the aim of the present overview. Results are divided into four core constructs: stigma arising from symptoms, stigma linked to relational and communication problems, social stigma arising from sharing perceptions, and caregiver’s stigma. The principal relations to these constructs are deeply analyzed and described subjectively through patients’ and caregiver’s point of view. The qualitative research may allow a better understanding of a subjective symptom such as stigma in parkinsonian patients from an intercultural and a social point of view.

We present a literature review on quality and operations management problems in food supply chains. In food industry, the quality of the food products declines over time and should be addressed in the supply chain operations management. Managing food supply chains with operations management methods not only generates economic benefit, but also contributes to environmental and social benefits. The literature on this topic has been burgeoning in the past few years. Since 2005, more than 100 articles have been published on this topic in major operations research and management science journals. In this literature review, we concentrate on the quantitative models in this research field and classify the related articles into four categories, that is, storage problems, distribution problems, marketing problems, and food traceability and safety problems. We hope that this review serves as a reference for interested researchers and a starting point for those who wish to explore it further.

Objective. To examine the effect of patient selection criteria on immunization practice assessment outcomes. Methods. In 3 high- (50%–85%) and 7 low- (<25%) Medicaid pediatric practices in urban eastern Virginia, we assessed immunization rates of children 12 and 24 months old comparing thestandard criteria (charts in the active files excluding those that documented the child moved or went elsewhere) with 3 alternative criteria for selecting active patients: 1)follow-up: the chart contained a complete immunization record or the patient was found to be active in the practice through follow-up contact by phone or mail; 2) seen in the past year: the chart indicated that the patient was seen in the practice in the past year; 3) consecutive: patients that were seen consecutively for any reason. Results. Of the 1823 charts assessed in the high- and low-Medicaid practices, follow-up identified 61% and 83% as active patients; 78% and 95% were ever seen in the past year. At 24 months, mean practice immunization rates were lower for standard (70%) than all 3 alternative criteria (78%–86%). Immunization rate differences between standard and alternative criteria were greater in high- (17%–23%) than low-Medicaid practices (5%–13%). Conclusion. The standard for practice assessment should be based on a consistent definition of active patients as the immunization rate denominator.

The recent deadly outbreak of Novel Coronavirus (2019-COVID) accompanying human to human spread caused severe human infections.  COVID19 initially encountered at the city of Wuhan in Hubei province in China.  It spread rapidly, and the number of infected people, as well as fatality ratio, increased drastically around the globe. This study aims to identify the historical background of the coronavirus family that is already affected the civilization and animals. This study overviewed the overall literature published on the Coronavirus. The Scopus database is selected to analyse the published literature. The research methodology followed a strict screening process recommended in the PRISMA statement framework (2015) for the screening and quality assessment of systematic literature review. Final 41 studies were included for the systematic literature review. A systematic review of the past literature identified severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS), bovine Coronavirus, canine Coronavirus and feline Coronavirus are the significant classifications of Coronavirus family discuss in the literature. This study contributes to the literature by providing an elaboration of detailed mapping of the existing literature on the reviews of Coronavirus pandemic that is a more significant challenge for humanity in the current circumstances. Finally, the future of the world after the 2019-COVID is more challenging and vital for understanding in terms of economic and social perspective. Social structures will change the current situation is showing based on literature and reports. The economic recession will be prolonged if the researchers are not able to find the solution for the Coronavirus.

Abstract Primary Subject area Emergency Medicine - Paediatric Background Unlike the lung ultrasound (LU) findings of pneumonia, bronchiolitis, pleural effusions and pneumothorax, which have all been well described, the sonographic pattern of asthma remains unclear. Previous pediatric studies have shown that pediatric patients with acute asthma exacerbations had positive LU findings. It is also unclear whether these findings were the result of acute infections associated with the exacerbation or if the findings would be present at baseline, outside an exacerbation in an asthmatic patient. Objectives The primary objective of this study is to characterize lung ultrasound (LU) findings in stable asthma pediatric patients presenting in a tertiary care asthma or respiratory clinic. Design/Methods Eligible patients >6 years of age, underwent a LU by the study sonographer between December 19, 2017 to June 25, 2019, during their regular follow up visit at the pulmonology clinic or scheduled pulmonary function test. Patients were defined as asthmatic if they had a positive methacholine challenge test (MCT) or spirometry at the day of the visit or in the past. Patients were excluded if they had an upper respiratory tract infection in the past 4 weeks, or had any other known pulmonary diseases. Baseline demographic and asthma severity (ISAAC score, ACQ-7) questionnaires were filled out by the patients, following which they underwent a LU by a novice sonographer using a 6-zone protocol. A blinded expert sonographer interpreted the images offline. A positive LU was defined as presence of more than 3 B-lines, consolidation (<1cm or >1cm), absent lung slide, and/or presence of pleural fluid. Results Fifty-two patients were enrolled in the study and 19.2% (CI 8.31-30.15) of the asthma patients had positive LU findings. The positive LU findings were diverse including B-lines (80%), small consolidation (80%), pleural line anomalies (10%). Positive LU findings were not correlated to any demographic value. Conclusion In our study, 19.2% of asthma patients at baseline have a positive LU. Lung consolidations larger than 1 cm were rarely seen. There were no significant differences between demographic data in asthmatic patients with positive compared to those with negative LUS. This positive LU scan rate is in keeping with a prior study on LU in pediatrics.

Urticating Hairs

Tarantulas are large spiders that can defend themselves by shedding urticating hairs (setae). In this paper, we aim to discuss the ocular conditions caused by these setae through a literature review. In total, 25 cases were identified in the PubMed database. Tarantula setae have a barbed structure that enables migration through the globe. They give rise to a spectrum of complaints, causing a granulomatous inflammatory reaction in the compartment they settle. Superficial corneal hairs cause a mild keratitis, while hairs that penetrate Descemet’s membrane can induce an anterior uveitis. Both can be treated with local steroids; when possible, hairs should be debrided. Setae that migrate into the posterior segment can cause a focal vitritis that can be more difficult to treat, sometimes requiring vitrectomy.
