The global program to eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis created by The World Health organization in 1997 is based on mass administration of single annual doses of diethylcarbamazine ( DEC) plus albendazole in non African regions and of albendazole plus ivermectin in Africa. The usual side effects of DEC treatment include fever, chills, arthralgia, headaches, nausea, and vomiting. Albendazole is associated with relatively few side effects consisting of occasional nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, reversible alopecia, elevated aminotransferases and rarely leucopenia and rash. We report a case of polyneuropathy in a young individual following DEC and albendazole during mass drug administration. Keywords: Albendazole; DEC; Polyneuropathy.

Cough Sound

Isolating pediatric asthma from pediatric pneumonia is one of the serious issues in remote territories. These sicknesses have covering side effects, however require radically extraordinary medicines. Existing rules for pneumonia order in asset poor areas from The World Health Organization require the utilization of bronchodilator test to isolate asthma from pneumonia. In any case, bronchodilator is a costly test to direct and not effectively accessible in remote regions. In this investigation, we star represent an imaginative and novel system utilizing hack sound examination to isolate pneumonia cases from asthma. In crafted by this paper we dissected hack sound information from 20 subjects (10 pneumonia and 10 asthma patients). Utilizing scientific highlights of hack sounds, a HMM classifier was prepared to distinguish pneumonic hack and asthmatic hack. At that point by registering Pneumonic Cough Index every patient was delegated either into pneumonia or asthma. Proposed strategy accomplished a precision of 90% (affectability = 100% and explicitness = 80%) in arranging pneumonia and asthma patients. Our outcomes demonstrate that hack sound convey basic data which can be utilized to isolate asthma patients from pneumonia. Proposed strategy in this paper indicates potential to turn into an option for bronchodilator test in the asset poor zones of the world

We presented case with COVID 19 pneumonia as one of the form of COVID infection, with diagnosis, treatment and all investigations we done in our hospital. With complex treatment of this virus infection we successful improved the clinical state of patients with COVID 19 pneumonia. Keywords: coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19, COVID 19 pneumonia

The debate persists about the inflammatory or tumoral, benign or malignant nature of the Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (TMI). Radioclinically, they can mimic a malignant neoplasm, although they are classified as intermediate by the World Health Organization (WHO). The diagnosis is almost always made by pathological examination. The treatment is poorly codified but the management is usually surgical. The removal of these tumors is a challenge when the mass is developed at the expense of or in the vicinity of noble organs. Several therapies have been tested to overcome the limitations of surgery, the results are variable. These tumors rarely affect the digestive tract. We propose the study of a case of myofibroblastic tumor developed at the expense of the omentum, five months after a cesarean section, in order to try to determine if it is a rare complication of the postpartum or a fortuitous combination.

Continued use of any method of contraception is related directly to its acceptability. Advisers should be competent to give information about the efficacy, risks, side effects, advantages, disadvantages, and noncontraceptive benefits of each method. Ignorance, especially about conditions not yet evaluated by the World Health Organization or the United Kingdom Medical Eligibility Committee, should be admitted during consultations, in which the clinician and the user, or couple, should be on equal terms: a ‘consultation between two experts’....

In 2010, the World Health Organization (WHO) classified intraductal papillary mucinous tumor (ipmn-b) as a solid tumor of the liver producing mucinous bile, which is rare and difficult to diagnose. We reported a 71 year old female patient with ipmn-b due to abdominal pain. Through the description of the causes, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis, we can get a better understanding of the disease. Ipmn-b is considered as a kind of benign precancerous lesion of cholangiocarcinoma with good prognosis. Keywords: papillary mucinous tumor; cholangiocarcinoma; neoplasm.

For more than a year and a half, the entire world has been experiencing the COVID-19 pandemic. Only the development of safe and effective vaccines may make the most significant changes in the fight against this infection. The World Health Organization (WHO) and its partners are contributing to accelerated development of vaccines because it is the vaccination along with social distancing and the use of personal protective equipment that is an effective way to prevent the coronavirus disease. This review covers general characteristics of vaccines registered or approved by at least one national regulator, the risks and side effects of the vaccines, as well as approaches to assess the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination.

BACKGROUND: On March 11, 2020, the General Director of the World Health Organization has announced that according to the organization, the level of spread and severity of symptoms of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is becoming alarming and because of that, it can be characterized as a pandemic. The assessment of the World Health Organization stimulated more urgent and belligerent actions from the governments as the number of case reports and studies on COVID-19 symptoms and treatment increased dramatically. AIM: In this paper, the aim is to make a review of the studies and case reports/series that indicate that abdominal pain is one of the manifestations of COVID-19. METHODS: A search was performed on two electronic databases: PubMed Central and Google Scholar, using the key words “COVID-19 and abdominal pain.” Case reports and case series in adults and children were included regardless of the language, region, or the publication date. The methods of synthesis and comparison were also used. RESULTS: In general, it can be noted that the manifestation of the COVID-19 infection on the digestive tract and the consequences on the same are not fully examined. CONCLUSION: The conclusion of the analyzed papers is that clinical practitioners in COVID-19 pandemic should carefully distinguish abdominal pain and other GI symptoms from COVID-19 manifestations and should exclude acute surgical condition.
