Abstrak Coronavirus adalah keluarga besar virus yang menyebabkan penyakit mulai dari gejala ringan sampai berat. Penambahan jumlah kasus COVID-19 berlangsung cukup cepat dan sudah terjadi penyebaran antar negara. Berdasarkan bukti ilmiah, COVID-19 dapat menular dari manusia ke manusia melalui percikan batuk/bersin (droplet), tidak melalui udara. Rekomendasi standar untuk mencegah penyebaran infeksi adalah melalui cuci tangan secara teratur menggunakan sabun dan air bersih, menerapkan etika batuk dan bersin, menghindari kontak secara langsung dengan ternak dan hewan liar serta menghindari kontak dekat dengan siapapun  yang menunjukkan gejala penyakit pernapasan seperti batuk dan bersin. Pengabdian masyarakat ini berupa penyuluhan yang bertujuan untuk memberikan informasi dan pengetahuan yang benar mengenai COVID-19, penularan dan pencegahannya kepada para pelajar di SMA Swasta Santa Maria Medan sehingga diharapkan akan membantu dalam memutuskan mata rantai penularan COVID-19 yang semakin meraja lela. Abstract Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from mild to severe symptoms. The increase in the number of COVID-19 cases is happening fast enough and there has been a spread between countries. Based on scientific evidence, COVID-19 can be transmitted from human to human through droplets, not through the air. Standard recommendations for preventing the spread of infection are regular hand washing with soap and clean water, practicing coughing and sneezing, avoiding direct contact with livestock and wild animals and avoiding close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing. This community service is in the form of counseling that aims to provide correct information and knowledge about COVID-19, its transmission and prevention to students at Santa Maria Medan Private High School so it is hoped that it will help in breaking the chain of COVID-19 transmission which is increasingly rampant.

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are known to cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. Coronavirus disease (Covid-19) is an infectious disease caused by a new virus. It leads to respiratory illness with symptoms such as a cough, fever, and in more severe cases, difficulty breathing. One can be protected by washing hands regularly, avoiding touching your face, and avoiding close contact with individuals who are unhealthy. It is transmitted through contact with an infected individual when they cough or sneeze. It could be transmitted when an individual touches a surface or object that has the virus on it, then touches the eyes, nose, or mouth. Some laboratory test to diagnose covid-19 includes real-time RT-PCR primer and probe and CDC serology test. It is very necessary that covid-19 is diagnosed for accurate treatment and management.

Spread Of Infection

Corona virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a new type of disease that has never been identified before in humans. COVID 19 can be transmitted from human to human through coughing / sneezing (droplet). To prevent the spread of infection is through regular hand washing with soap and clean water, applying the ethics of coughing and sneezing, avoiding direct contact with livestock and wild animals and avoiding close contact with anyone who shows symptoms of respiratory illnesses such as coughing and sneezing. The objective of this activity is to increase the knowledge and skills of cadres about prevention of Covid 19 through Covid 19 prevention training. The method to be used to realize this program is through preparation, implementation, evaluation and follow-up plans. The results showed cadres who had good knowledge increased from 16% to 40%, while cadres mothers who had sufficient knowledge increased from the previous 24% to 32%. Cadres who have less knowledge have decreased from 60% to 28%. Conclusion; the optimization of health cadres in the prevention of Covid 19 in Pasir Lor Village took place effectively and efficiently. Keywords: Optimization of cadres; Covid-19 prevention

BACKGROUND Serious public health problems, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, can cause an infodemic. Sources of information that may cause an infodemic include social networking services; YouTube, which consists of content created and uploaded by individuals, is one such source. OBJECTIVE To survey the content and changes in YouTube videos that present public health information about COVID-19 in Japan. METHODS We surveyed YouTube content regarding public health information pertaining to COVID-19 in Japan. YouTube searches were performed on March 6, 2020 (before the state of emergency), April 14 (during the state of emergency), and May 27 (after the state of emergency was lifted), with 136, 113, and 140 sample videos evaluated, respectively. The main outcome measures were: (1) The total number of views for each video, (2) video content, and (3) the usefulness of the video. RESULTS In the 100 most viewed YouTube videos during the three periods, the number of videos on public health information in March was significantly higher than in May (p = .02). Of the 331 unique videos, 9.1% (n = 30) were released by healthcare professionals. Useful videos providing public health information about the prevention of the spread of infection comprised only 13.0% of the sample but were viewed significantly more often than not useful videos (p = .006). CONCLUSIONS Individuals need to take care when obtaining information from YouTube before or early in a pandemic, during which time scientific evidence is scarce.

1. What are robots used in healthcare? Areas within healthcare which are starting to use robots include: telepresence, rehabilitation, medical transportation, sanitization and prescription dispensing. But we are most interested in collaborative robotics. We will be discussing the COBOT(Cordial Robot) applications. Most modern healthcare robots are especially designed for their target applications. 2. Is it possible to use robotics in medicine? Robotics in medicine can happen in many ways, here are some. Healthcare has been predicted as “a promising industry for robotics” for the past 45 years or more. Since as far back as 1974, researchers have been looking for ways to incorporate robotics into medical applications. 3. Is there a need for more surgery/telepresence/rehabilitation/medical transportation/sanitation and disinfection/medicine prescription dispensing robots? There is denitely a need for many more surgery robots, laparoscopic, endoscopic and nanorobots, as the technology allows more functionalities with miniature propulsion mechanisms. M.A. Zenati, M. Mahvash, from the science of medical robotics, 2012. 4. How are medical robots used to treat patients, reduce contact, and cure pain? Using the medical robots reduces the direct contact between the doctor and the patient, helps in reducing pain, by minimizing the need for more medication and longer hospital stays, allowing the person to return home by the therapy sooner without any spread of infection.

H5n1 Influenza

Reports of human cases of infection with avian influenza A(H5N1) virus have received increased public attention because of the potential for the emergence of a pandemic strain. In the end of 2005 and the beginning of 2006, avian influenza A(H5N1) virus caused outbreaks among domestic poultry and was isolated from wild swans in many European countries, including Bulgaria. Between January and March 2006, samples were collected from 26 patients who had been in close contact with ill or dead birds and developed a subsequent respiratory illness. The testing took place at the National Laboratory of Influenza in Sofia. Specific ?(H5N1) assays were applied for screening (Sacace RT-PCR and real-time kit). Avian flu ?(H5N1) virus was not detected in any of the patients tested. In three patients, human subtype ?(H1N1) influenza virus, identifiable by RT-PCR was isolated and further characterized by hemagglutination inhibition test (HIT). The reliability of the molecular assays used in this investigation was demonstrated in an International Quality Control for Human and Avian ?(H5N1) Influenza performed later in 2006 by INSTAND (Society for Promotion of Quality Assurance in the Medical Laboratories), Germany.

AbstractAcute rheumatic fever (ARF), an auto-immune response to a group AStreptococcusinfection and precursor to rheumatic heart disease (RHD), remains endemic in many socio-economically disadvantaged settings. A Global Resolution on ARF and RHD was recently adopted at the 71st World Health Assembly where governments committed to improving efforts to prevent and control ARF and RHD. To inform these efforts, the objectives of this study were to examine associations between childhood ARF in the UK between 1958 and 1969 and a range of environmental and social factors. Of 17 416 children from the nationally representative birth cohort of the National Child Development Study, ARF was reported in 23 children during early childhood (between birth and the 7-year follow-up) and in 29 additional children during middle childhood (between the 7- and 11-year follow-ups). Risk factors associated with ARF in both early and middle childhood were: a large family size; attendance at a private nursery or class; a history of nephritis, kidney or urinary tract infections; and a history of throat or ear infections. Risk factors for ARF in early childhood alone were families with fathers in a professional or semi-professional occupation and families who moved out of their local neighbourhood. Risk factors in late childhood alone included overcrowding and free school meals. These data suggest that prevention strategies in ARF endemic settings may be enhanced by targeting, for example, new members entering a community and children in environments of close contact, such as a nursery or shared bedrooms.

Coronavirus (COVID19) is an infectious disease that attacks the human body, particularly within the respiratory regions, e.g., nasal and lung tissues. COVID19 infection is classified into three different stages: mild, moderate, and severe. Recovery from the first two stages can mostly be achieved without special treatment, but these stages can lead to death for older people and those who have underlying medical conditions, such as diabetes, chronic-respiratory disease, HIV, and cardiovascular disease. COVID19 prefers to attack the tissues and membranes of the respiratory system, especially those found in the nose, throat, and on the external surface of the lungs. Aquaporins (AQPs) are a large family of integral biomembranes that facilitate transport of water and small biomolecules between cells. The current work develops two scientific sub-models, i.e., biological and statistical. The biological model is aimed at investigating the realistic mechanism of bio-interaction between the two types of COV and different AQP protein channels. This model is obtained mathematically by evaluating the magnitude of the potential energy arising from SARSCOV and COVID19 penetrating the cavity of the AQP protein channels located on the external surface of human cells. We use an exponential function to estimate the transmission rate of COVID19 with respect to time in different territories. Additionally, we observe that temperature and direct contact play major roles in determining the number of infected cases, and consider relative humidity as a secondary factor. Our results show that AQP1, AQP3, and AQP4 are the most favorable tissues for COVID19 spread because their pH exceeds 6.5. A mathematical model is developed that describes the behavior of the COVID19 outbreak in terms of temperature (μ) and direct contact (α) rate.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major respiratory illness in Canada that is preventable and treatable but unfortunately remains underdiagnosed. The purpose of the present article from the Canadian Thoracic Society is to provide up-to-date information so that patients with this condition receive optimal care that is firmly based on scientific evidence. Important summary messages for clinicians are derived from the more detailed Update publication and are highlighted throughout the document. Three key messages contained in the update are: use targeted screening spirometry to establish a diagnosis and initiate prompt management (including smoking cessation) of mild COPD; improve dyspnea and activity limitation in stable COPD using new evidence-based treatment algorithms; and understand the importance of preventing and managing acute exacerbations, particularly in moderate to severe disease.
