Agrarian Communities

Organophosphate compounds are chemicals containing central phosphate molecules with alkyl or aromatic substituent’s. They occur in diverse forms and are used as pesticides, herbicides, nerve agents, etc. Organophosphate compounds are frequently used as pesticides in agrarian communities all across the world. South Asian countries such as Nepal use vast quantities of Organophosphate compounds for pest control in agriculture. Therefore, accidental and suicidal ingestion of Organophosphate compound poisoning has been common especially among the agricultural rural communities. Apart from muscarinic, nicotinic and central nervous system effects in rare instances, Organophosphate compounds are known to cause pancreatitis.

Coronavirus disease 2019 is a novel disease currently ravaging the world as a pandemic. More emphasis has been focused on the acute disease, with less attention on the detection and management of long-term sequelae which develop in some patients, variously termed “Long COVID,” Post-coronavirus disease 2019 syndrome, or ongoing coronavirus disease. There are also various reports in the literature on the duration of viral shedding, with the longest known recorded being about 70 days, and whether this duration has an effect on prognosis or patients remaining infectious is still unknown. We report the case of a 22-year-old health care worker with prolonged multi-systemic features of coronavirus disease 2019 including cardiovascular, respiratory, central nervous system, and musculoskeletal symptoms lasting about 18 weeks from symptom onset, though never hospitalized, and persistent detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 attributed to viral shedding for over 110 days, which is the longest duration recorded to our knowledge.

Histoplasma capsulatum infection is endemic in many regions around the world, including Latin America [1]. However, cerebral presentation occurs in less than 25% of patients with disseminated histoplasmosis and even rarer as a stand-alone presentation. Three forms are described: meningeal, miliary granulomatous and parenchymal with formation of “histoplasmoma” [2]. Due to the rarity of the case and unusual clinical presentation and topography we describe the case below.

Novel Coronavirus

The vaccination for the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) is undergoing its final stages of analysis and testing. It is an impressive feat under the circumstances that we are on the verge of a potential breakthrough vaccination. This will help reduce the stress for millions of people around the globe, helping to restore worldwide normalcy. In this review, the analysis looks into how the new branch of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) came into the forefront of the world like a pandemic. This review will break down the details of what COVID-19 is, the viral family it belongs to and its background of how this family of viruses alters bodily functions by attacking vital human respiratory organs, the circulatory system, the central nervous system and the gastrointestinal tract. This review also looks at the process a new drug analogue undergoes, from (i) being a promising lead compound to (ii) being released into the market, from the drug development and discovery stage right through to FDA approval and aftermarket research. This review also addresses viable reasoning as to why the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine may have taken much less time than normal in order for it to be released for use.
