With the occurrence pandemic of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the World Health Organization and health officials in all countries of the world were forced to comply with quarantine conditions. On the one hand, the stress of this dangerous viral disease, and other hand, staying home for an indefinite period of time does not have pleasant consequences. The announcement of an increase in the number of patients with the disease and the death toll also adds to the emotional excitement. Therefore, to prevent mental and psychological diseases as well as other social harms, people can make it easier and more tolerable of quarantine conditions and issues on the margins of illness, by studying and reading books. Research has shown that studying, especially reading books plays an important role in preventing diseases such as depression and stress. It is difficult to predict when this tragedy will end. But more importantly, the evidence suggests there is a possibility that such cases will be repeated.

ABSTRACT Objective To analyze quantitatively the diets available on blogs and websites. Methods The following 15 diets were analyzed: low-carb diet, gluten-free diet and intermittent fasting diet using the Virtual Nutri software program. The nutrients analyzed were as follows: carbohydrates, fibers, proteins, lipids, iodine, sodium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, manganese, phosphorus, selenium, vitamins A, C, B6, B12, D, niacin, and folate. The nutrient values were compared with the Dietary Reference Intake recommendation for adults between the ages of 19-50 years. The macronutrient adequacy percentage was based on a 2000-kcal diet for a healthy life, as recommended by the World Health Organization. Results It was observed that most of the composition of macro and micronutrients was lower than the one established by the World Health Organization and the Dietary Reference Intake recommendation for adults between the ages of 19-50 years. Conclusion Long-term dieting can be a risk factor for several deficiency diseases and may endanger the health of individuals.

One of the major themes of the book is to recognize the seriousness of the situation and its possible outcomes. Žižek informs us that the only possible way to face the challenge is to realize that world leaders should unite and develop a global health care system presided over by the World Health organization. As it is obvious that almost every crisis creates opportunities of some kind Žižek seems to argue that in the current disaster there is potential for communism (though not the one of 20th century type but the one) based on human cooperation. As he says: “it should be a disaster communism as an antidote to the disaster capitalism.”

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March 2020. The clinical spectrum of COVID-19 can range from asymptomatic to severe symptoms and even death. Recent studies show that a growing number of patients with COVID-19 will experience prolonged symptoms (Post-Acute Sequalae of SARS-CoV-2), which now days known as “Long Covid”. A team of researchers from Italy reported that nearly 9 in 10 patients discharged were still experiencing at least one symptom 60 days after infection. Symptoms reported are fatigue, dyspnea, joint pain, chest pain, and other uncommon symptoms. Through ACE2 surface receptor, SARS-CoV-2 has been linked to cardiovascular events. As PASC symptoms vary widely, cardiovascular sequelae need to be considered through lifetime management. Therefore, this review aims to summarize an update of the long covid effect on Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), the impacts, and Post-Acute Sequalae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection (PASC) management.

Abstract: Smoking is one of the leading causes of health problems in the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) shows that Indonesia is in third place with the largest number of smokers that reached 146.860.000 inhabitants. In North Sulawesi, almost one-third of the population aged ≥10 years are chronic active smokers with the average number of cigarettes smoked 10 cigarettes per day. WHO classifies smokers into mild, moderate, and severe smokers. Some studies found that cigarette smoking could affect the values of various blood parameters. This study was aimed to determine whether there was a relationship between chronic smoking and leukocyte levels in adult smokers. This was an analytical descriptive study with a cross-sectional design conducted on 30 students of Mechanical Engineering Faculty of Sam Ratulangi University Manado. Data were statistically analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis test on leukocyte, basophil, eosinophil, stem neutrophil, and monocyte meanwhile the One Way Anova on neutrophil segments, and lymphocytes. The Kruskal-Wallis test and the One Way Anova obtained all P values >0.05. Respondents had average leukocyte counts and normal white blood cell differential counts. Conclusion: There was no significant relationship between smoking andd leukocyte levels in chronic smokers.Keywords: chronic smokers, leukocyte level, white blood cell differential count Abstrak: Merokok merupakan salah satu penyebab masalah kesehatan terbanyak di dunia. World Health Organization (WHO) menyebutkan Indonesia berada pada urutan ketiga dengan jumlah perokok terbanyak yang mencapai 146.860.000 jiwa. Untuk daerah Sulawesi Utara, hampir sepertiga penduduk berusia ≥10 tahun merupakan perokok aktif kronik dengan rerata jumlah rokok yang dihisap 10 batang per hari. WHO menglasifikasikan perokok menjadi perokok ringan, sedang, dan berat. Beberapa penelitian melaporkan bahwa rokok dapat memengaruhi nilai dari berbagai parameter darah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah terdapat hubungan antara merokok dan kadar leukosit pada perokok kronik. Jenis penelitian ialah deskriptif analitik dengan desain potong lintang yang dilakukan pada 30 mahasiswa Jurusan Teknik Mesin Fakultas Teknik Universitas Sam Ratulangi Manado. Uji statistik Kruskal- Wallis dilakukan pada kadar leukosit, basofil, eosinofil, neutrofil batang, monosit sedangkan One Way Anova pada neutrofil segmen, dan limfosit. Baik pada uji Kruskal-Wallis maupun One Way Anova didapatkan semua nilai P >0,05. Responden memiliki rerata kadar leukosit dan hitung jenis leukosit yang normal. Simpulan: Tidak terdapat hubungan bermakna antara merokok dan kadar leukosit pada perokok kronikKata kunci: merokok kronik, kadar leukosit, hitung jenis leukosit

Abstract On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organization classified the COVID-19 emergency as a pandemic, a decision that was taken following the perception that the virus was both lethal and rapidly spreading. The role played by mortality and contagion in this pandemic narrative, thus, cannot be ignored. On the one hand, contagion acts as a transgressive category that is a main source of socio-political disruptions and a catalyst for new forms of sociality. On the other hand, the effectiveness and persuasiveness of mortality as a quantifiable reality overshadows death as lived experience, obfuscating a profound reorganisation of the ways death is managed and produced through the work of a whole professional segment. Hence, this article explores how the response to the COVID-19 pandemic is reshaping death as lived experience by transgressing categories of existence and reorganising the conditions under which death is managed and produced.

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.
