Expansion Attributes and also Applications of Branched Co2 Nanostructures
As Scotland gets closer to suppressing the virus, cases from over the border will become a big problem, reports Michael Marshall.Coronavirus infections are rising globally, including in some places that had brought the virus under control, reports Adam Vaughan.The way our bodies remember coronavirus infection may make a vaccine possible.We've controlled international outbreaks before - and we know how to do it again, says epidemiologist Adam Kucharski.Estimating the number of people who have caught the coronavirus is tough because of inconsistent case reporting and varied testing methods, finds Jessica Hamzelou.Death toll approaches half a million, but pandemic is still in its early stages.The coronavirus pandemic has infected the internet with misinformation.Coronavirus cases are rising sharply in South America, made worse by inequality, reports Luke Taylor from Bogotá, Colombia.A lack of clear testing data means researchers are struggling to monitor the UK's coronavirus outbreak, reports Adam Vaughan.More than 100 coronavirus vaccines are in development, but will any of them work?Far from just affecting the lungs, covid-19 seems to cause a host of neurological problems. Jessica Hamzelou investigates.As countries ease coronavirus lockdowns, Linda Geddes looks at what the science says about how to stay as safe as possible.Parts of the UK are set to further lift lockdown restrictions, but a political scandal could put public health at risk, says Penny Sarchet.The travel, tourism and hospitality industries have been the worst affected of the world's major economic sectors during the COVID19 pandemic, which has had a devastating effect on both destinations and organisations. Drawing from a sample (N = 385) of adult permanent residents of Athens, Greece, the study examines the impact of COVID19 upon holiday intention. The chaordic systems are evaluated through the use of fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis, whilst the study also used Necessary Condition Analysis for the calculation of the size effects of the examined conditions. The findings reveal two sufficient complex configurations leading to holiday intention (i) holiday risks, and (ii) impact of COVID19. Based on the results, the article also offers a set of managerial implications. The contribution of the study is to both theoretical and methodological tourism domains.The objective of this article is to present a literature review concerning the psychiatric consequences associated with the Covid 19 pandemic, in the pediatric population. This review is realized with Pubmed Database, using Covid 19, Coronavirus, child, children, adolescent, mental health, psychiatric or psychological consequences as keywords. We propose to present an inventory of current research based on three factors fear linked to the pandemic, the consequences of the stay-at-home confinement, and the risks of cumulative trauma. We will present three clinical vignettes of children who were followed during the health crisis following the development of symptoms related to the health situation. We will end with some perspectives on the management of the health crisis by child and adolescent psychiatry services.A case of a middle-aged male, suffering from acute psychosis while in self-isolation due to COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) is presented. The patient required urgent hospital admission due to psychosis, which was only possible to COVID-19 unit of the Department of Infectious Diseases at the time. After transfer to psychiatric hospital, stool sample, taken as an additional preventive measure, was positive for the novel coronavirus. In addition, the patient experienced spontaneous virus reactivation few weeks later. This case report describes certain dilemmas, based on care for patients with mental illness as Europe stands on the brink of COVID-19 second wave.The lethal novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is affecting the health of the global population severely, and a huge number of people may have to be screened in the future. There is a need for effective and reliable systems that perform automatic detection and mass screening of COVID-19 as a quick alternative diagnostic option to control its spread. A robust deep learning-based system is proposed to detect the COVID-19 using chest X-ray images. Infected patient's chest X-ray images reveal numerous opacities (denser, confluent, and more profuse) in comparison to healthy lungs images which are used by a deep learning algorithm to generate a model to facilitate an accurate diagnostics for multi-class classification (COVID vs. normal vs. read more bacterial pneumonia vs. viral pneumonia) and binary classification (COVID-19 vs. non-COVID). COVID-19 positive images have been used for training and model performance assessment from several hospitals of India and also from countries like Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Egypt, Germany, Iran, Israel, Italy, Korea, Spain, Taiwan, USA, and Vietnam. The data were divided into training, validation and test sets. The average test accuracy of 97.11 ± 2.71% was achieved for multi-class (COVID vs. normal vs. pneumonia) and 99.81% for binary classification (COVID-19 vs. non-COVID). The proposed model performs rapid disease detection in 0.137 s per image in a system equipped with a GPU and can reduce the workload of radiologists by classifying thousands of images on a single click to generate a probabilistic report in real-time.Coronaviruses are a family of RNA viruses that typically cause mild respiratory disease in humans. However, over the past 20 years, three novel/variant coronaviruses have spilled over from animals into humans and have been associated with severe respiratory illness. In late 2002, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus (CoV) emerged in China and, over the following year, went on to cause approximately 8,100 cases and 774 deaths. A decade later, a cluster of severe pneumonia cases occurred on the Arabian Peninsula, marking the beginning of the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS)-CoV outbreak, which has resulted in nearly 2,500 confirmed cases and 850 deaths. Now in 2020, we are in the midst of a global pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2, which, at the time of this writing, has claimed the lives of over 83,500 people and has been confirmed in over 1,500,000 cases. These outbreaks highlight the pathogenic potential of CoVs and the importance of infection prevention and diagnostic testing to reduce the spread of infectious diseases representing a global health threat.
