Covid-19 outbreak occurred in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and was named Coronavirus Disease 2019. This Covid-19 phenomenon is a new disease. As time goes on and research continues to be carried out, there are lots of changing facts, that will imply the level of public knowledge about Covid-19 and the public’s attitude in dealing with it as its part of mitigating this virus. Thus, it is necessary to research the level of public knowledge regarding Covid-19. The method used in this research is to analyze from various reading sources and references taken are from the national journal. This study took 4 journals as references from the four journals, all of which showed that public knowledge about the Covid-19 phenomenon was good. From the journals that were used as references, information was obtained about the level of public knowledge about the Covid-19 phenomenon in various regions in Indonesia, but further research must be carried out to determine the level of public knowledge about Covid-19

The introduction of the programs on Holocaust education in Poland and a broader debate on the transgressions of Poles against the Jews have not led to desired improvement in public knowledge on these historical events. A comparison of survey results from the last two decades (Bilewicz, Winiewski, Radzik, 2012) illustrates mounting ignorance: the number of Poles who acknowledge that the highest number of victims of the Nazi occupation period was Jewish systematically decreases, while the number of those who think that the highest number of victims of the wartime period was ethnically Polish, increases. Insights from the social psychological research allow to explain the psychological foundations of this resistance to acknowledge the facts about the Holocaust, and indicate the need for positive group identity as a crucial factor preventing people from recognizing such a threatening historical information. In this paper we will provide knowledge about the ways to overcome this resistance-through-denial. Implementation of such measures could allow people to accept responsibility for the misdeeds committed by their ancestors.

Introduction: Despite the available guidelines, opinions of many surgeons are quite ambiguous when it comes to the therapy of pilonidal sinus disease. The treatment can be a frustrating problem both for the surgeon and the patient because it is associated with wound complications and high recurrence rate. The objective of this study was to analyze the results of patients with pilonidal sinus disease undergoing the Karydakis flap procedure. Methods: A total of 27 patients treated for primary and recurrent pilonidal disease using the Karydakis flap procedure at our department between October 23, 2018 and November 22, 2019 were analyzed prospectively. We evaluated postoperative wound healing, complications and recurrence of the disease in a short-term follow-up period. Disease recurrence was defined as prolonged healing or as a new disease requiring repeated surgery. Results: In December 2019 all 27 patients came for a follow-up visit. The result was a fully lateralized wound without any signs of a new disease in all patients. In May 2020 a follow-up visit by phone was performed. The median follow-up was 12 months. The healing process was free of any serious complications in 25 patients. Seroma formation cases were managed by puncture in the outpatient setting. Conclusion: According to the available evidence and guidelines, off-midline procedures – the Karydakis flap, Bascom cleft lift, and Limberg flap procedures – are associated with lower recurrence rates and better wound healing. An important goal is to achieve complete wound lateralization and to change the configuration of the gluteal cleft by reshaping it, which results in a nicely flattened gluteal crease.

In December 2019, China reported cases of infections caused by a new zoonotic coronavirus, which gradually developed into a pandemic. The disease was initially believed to be mild in children. In April 2020, a possible relationship between a new paediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome and SARS-CoV-2 was found. In May, the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health published the criteria for the diagnosis of this new disease. We present a case of a 6-year-old boy retrospectively diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2-related multisystem inflammatory syndrome based on medical history, physical examination, laboratory and imaging findings, as well as the available literature.

The COVID-19 pandemic is the first to occur in an age of hyperconnectivity. This paper presents results from an online anonymous survey conducted in Malay, English, and Chinese, during the first week of the Movement Control Order in Malaysia (n=1075), which aimed to examine public knowledge, perception and communication behavior in the Malaysian society in the face of a sudden outbreak and social distancing measures. Although the level of public knowledge, risk perception and positive communication behavior surrounding COVID-19 was high, a majority of respondents reported receiving a lot of questionable information. Multinomial logistic regression further identified that responses to different items varied significantly across respondent survey language, gender, age, education level and employment status.
