Purpose: The coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2 has imposed a significant burden on health care systems, economies, and social systems in many countries around the world. The provision of rehabilitation services for persons with active COVID-19 infection poses challenges to maintaining a safe environment for patients and treating providers.Materials and Methods: Established frameworks were used to guide the scoping review methodology. Medline, Embase, Pubmed, CINAHL databases from inception to August 1, 2020, and prominent rehabilitation organizations’ websites were searched.Study Selection: We included articles and reports if they were focused on rehabilitation related recommendations for COVID-19 patients, treating providers, or the general population.Data Extraction: Pairs of team members used a pre-tested data abstraction form to extract data from included full-text articles. The strength and the quality of the extracted recommendations were evaluated by two reviewers using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach.Results: We retrieved 6,468 citations, of which 2,086 were eligible for review, after duplicates were removed. We excluded 1,980 citations based on title and abstract screening. Of the screened full-text articles, we included all 106 studies. A summary of recommendations is presented. We assessed the overall evidence to be strong and of fair quality.Conclusion: The rehabilitation setting, and processes, logistics, and patient and healthcare provider precaution recommendations identified aim to reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2 infection and ensure adequate and safe rehabilitation services, whether face-to-face or through teleservices. The COVID-19 pandemic is rapidly changing. Further updates will be needed over time in order to incorporate emerging best evidence into rehabilitation guidelines.

This chapter introduces leprosy, an infection that is still misunderstood and considered a neglected tropical disease but declining in frequency, according to the World Health Organization. The bacteria that cause leprosy, Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis, are outlined, as well as how a relative strength of a person’s immune system determines how leprosy affects the body. Although leprosy is curable, associated stigma and disability remain common challenges for people with the disease in parts of the world. The goals and structure of the book are outlined, ten myths that still pervade society at large are listed, and the use of the word “leper” discussed. Based on World Health Organization data, the chapter also explores the frequency of leprosy today, where the infection remains a challenge, and the history of detecting and reporting evidence for leprosy in living populations. Finally, the reasons why bioarchaeologists have an interest in this infection are explored.

Based on the results of a survey conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2012, the number of active smokers in the world has reached more than 1 billion people. This number is expected to continue to increase given the high prevalence of world cigarette consumption rates, while in Indonesia it is found that almost every year the number of smokers is increasing. Cigarettes containing chemicals including carbon monoxide, nicotine, tar, ammonia, arsenic, cyanide and lead (Pb) The main effect is lead that is inhaled and enters the respiratory system will also circulate throughout the tissues and organs of the body. More than 90% of lead metal absorbed by blood binds to red blood cells and results in a disruption in the process of hemoglobin synthesis. The purpose of this study is to determine the level of lead metal toxicity with an overview of smear preparations in the blood of active smokers. The research method with simple random sampling, samples taken capillary blood and making blood smear preparations that were examined with a microscope while examining the metal in the urine using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The results of the study of lead content in urine of active smokers found that the high is 0.384 mg / dl and the low lead level is 0.002 mg / dl positive containing lead in the urine with the amount of lead content exceeding the threshold and from the results of the smear dosage found that normal or normociter cell size can be obtained normal or normochrome (1/3 of the center is pale) whereas abnormalities in the cell form are teardrop cells, ovalocytes, schistocyte, this is due to the effect of lead that disrupts health especially usually occurs in haemotopoetic systems (blood formation system)

Every year on 24 March, World Tuberculosis Day is commemorated annually, for raising the public awareness regarding devastating consequences of tuberculosison health and economic aspects of life. This helps to launch efforts to end the globalepidemic of tuberculosis. On the date of 24th March in 1882, Dr. Robert Koch announced about the discovery of bacterium that causes tuberculosis.1 It was held on 24th March 1982 first time by The World Health Organization at the 100th anniversary of Dr. Koch’s discovery. The target 3.3 of SDG calls for, by 2030, ending the epidemics of tuberculosis, malaria, AIDS, combat other communicable and water-borne diseases. A large number of people 1.7 billion, roughly 23% of the world's population suffered from tuberculosis. In the world, each year 1.5 million people died due to TB, proving it a leading infectious killer disease. Thirty countries having the high burden of TB, accounted for 87% of new TB cases during 2019.2 Among these, two thirds of the total cases were in India, Indonesia, China, Bangladesh, Philippines, Pakistan, Nigeria, and South Africa. An estimated 510,000 new TB cases are emerging each year in Pakistan. Among these about, 15 000 are developing drug resistant TB cases. Pakistan is bearing 61% of the TB burden in the EMRO. Tuberculosis is preventable and curable disease. The causative agent of tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, most often affect the lungs. The vaccine for tuberculosis (TB) disease is called BCG (Bacille Calmette-Guérin). In 1921, first patient was vaccinated with BCG vaccine, 13 years were spent in the making the vaccine. In countries where TB is common, BCG vaccine is given to infants and small children. It does not always protect people from getting TB. BCG vaccine is included in national Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) in Pakistan and given at birth. To make TB free Pakistan through universal access to quality TB care, National TB Control Program (NTP) is striving for achieving Zero TB death by reducing 50% prevalence of TB in general population by 2025. The mode of transmission of TB from person to person is through the air. The TB germs are propelled into the air,when people with lung TB cough, sneeze or spit carelessly due to lack of awareness that they are participating in the spread of disease and weakening the efforts. These germs are when inhaled by other people, resulting in lung infection, which is called primary TB. From primary TB infection, majority of people recover withoutany further evidence of the disease. For years the infection may stay inactive (latent). People with TB infection are not contagious, do not have any symptoms, and do not put their friends, co-workers and family at risk. Many people who have latent TB infection never develop TB disease. In these people, the TB bacteria remain inactive for a lifetime without causing disease. But in other people, especially people who have weak immune systems, the bacteria become active, multiply, and cause TB disease. There is good news for people with TB disease! It can almost always be treated and cured with medicine. But the medicine must be taken as directed by Physician. The relapse rate differs by a country's incidence and control: 0–27% of TB relapses occur within 2 years after treatment completion and most relapses occur within 5 years; however, some relapses occur 15 years after treatment. A person who has genital tuberculosis can infect others through sexual contact. The most common means of spreading genital TB can be through blood or lymph. Hence, sexual contact can spread genital tuberculosis. Genital tuberculosis can spread to any other body organ, once it enters the body. Consuming a diet high in nutritious foods and beverages is a smart way to support and protect lung health. Coffee, dark leafy greens, fatty fish, peppers, tomatoes, olive oil, oysters, blueberries, and pumpkin are just some examples of foods and drinks that have been shown to benefit lung function. Milk can be used by TB patient. It is also a great source of protein, providing strength necessary to perform day-to-day activities. Directly observed treatment, short-course (DOTS, also known as TB-DOTS) is the name given to the tuberculosis (TB) control strategy recommended by the World Health Organization. According to WHO, "The most cost-effective way to stop the spread of TB in communities with a high incidence is by curing it. The usual treatment is: two antibiotics (isoniazid and rifampicin) for 6 months, two additional antibiotics (pyrazinamide and ethambutol) for the first 2 months of the 6-month treatment period. Groups with high rates of TB transmission are homeless persons, injection drug users, and persons with HIV infection are more susceptible for TB and persons who have immigrated from areas of the world with high rates of TB. The disease is prevalent mainly in the underprivileged sections of the society. The lack of knowledge in the masses and the communities is a factor that contributes largely to the spread of the disease. The theme of World TB Day 2020 was “It's TIME to end TB” and in 2021 it is,” Am I stopping TB” highlighting the importance of awareness. It is the time to fuel the awareness program with full energy, resources and ways. In such a scenario, there is always a need for new and innovative ideas to create mass awareness about tuberculosis. The more focus of this awareness campaign should be very much targeted towards people living in an area where there are a lot of people are with TB, or have been homeless or live in poorly ventilated or overcrowded housing and sufferers of a weakened immune system.

It is common knowledge that the Diabetes is a widespread disease of the endocrine system. To outline the main points, it is worth too say that Diabetes is a chronic disease associated with an absolute or relative deficiency of the hormone insulin, wherein the insulin secreted by the pancreas and cleaves the glucose in the blood. Diabetes affects many organ systems of the body so that the most severe complication of the disease is coma. Therefore, in the treatment of the disease, sugar-reducing drugs and mandatory diet are used. It comes as no surprise that almost 422 mln of the world's population suffer from Diabetes, as it is stipulates by the World Health Organization statistics.

According to the World Health Organization, cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world. In Spain, about a quarter of a million cases were diagnosed in 2017, and 81% of the Spanish population has used, at least once, some kind of complementary therapy. Said therapies are increasingly being used by cancer patients. The purpose of the study is to analyse the effectiveness of complementary therapies among cancer patients. A systematic peer review was conducted following the PRISMA-ScR guide in four databases (PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus and WOS). The inclusion criteria were Randomised Clinical Trials, published between 2013 and 2018, with a value of 3 or more on the Jadad Scale. The protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42019127593). The study sample amounted to 1845 patients (64.55% women), the most common being breast cancer patients (794), followed by lung cancer patients (341). Fifteen complementary therapies were identified. We found two studies for each of the following: electroacupuncture, phytotherapy, hypnotherapy, guided imagery and progressive muscle relaxation. From the remaining ones, we identified a study on each therapy. The findings reveal some effective complementary therapies: auriculotherapy and acupuncture, laser moxibustion, hypnosis, Ayurveda, electroacupuncture, progressive muscle relaxation and guided imagery, yoga, phytotherapy, music therapy and traditional Chinese medicine. On the other hand, electroacupuncture, laser moxibustion and traditional Chinese medicine presented adverse effects, and kinesiology did not show effectiveness.

Covid 19 has brought many changes in human life. Currently, the campus is implementing an online learning system, aka online (in the network). This has an impact on final year students who are writing a thesis which will usually cause stress when compiling a thesis. Therefore, progressive muscle relaxation can reduce stress and learn how to relax tense muscles. The purpose of this study was to determine whether progressive muscle relaxation therapy can relieve or reduce stress levels in final year students. The research design used was quasi experimental. The research design used "pre test post test with control group design." The sample size obtained in this study was 30 respondents with a sampling technique carried out in the form of probability sampling with non-equivalent control group techniques. The data analysis used was the Wilcoxon test data analysis with a significance level of α = 0.05. If the value of ρ <0.05 then Ha is accepted. The research results from statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon test obtained the value of ρ = 0.001, where the value of ρ is smaller than the value of α = 0.05, so Ha is accepted. The results of the study proved that there was an effect of progressive muscle relaxation therapy on stress levels in final year students in the Indonesian Muslim University nursing study program. The conclusion of this study is that before being given progressive muscle relaxation therapy, the stress levels for final year students were moderate stress, severe stress and very heavy stress. Meanwhile, after being given progressive muscle relaxation therapy intervention, there was a decrease in stress levels, namely normal, mild stress and moderate stress.
