  Caring for Older Adults During Covid-19 Pandemic Introduction SARS-Coronavirus-2 is leaving an indelible impression on the face of the world with a MASK. This invisible enemy has invaded our lives and robbed us of aspects of our lives that we thought were untouchable. Death, isolation, sickness, and fear now lurk in halls, homes and hearts. While we hope that many will recover from this viral infection, questions about how to do the right thing and even what is the right thing permeate our thoughts constantly. The scientific community and governments update management strategies frequently based on evolving data, all the time hoping for the best outcome. Suddenly, an organized and structured daily routine is filled with confusion and frustration. The days are riddled with constant changes and new instructions as we pray for strength, cures, and resilience. And behind this mask, our older adults who thrive on human connection suffer with the much needed measures and interventions ...

  Molecular Chirality as an Integral Biomarker of Lactation, Nutrition and Cognitive Development Express-Review Abstract It becomes an axiom that all living organisms are composed predominantly of L-amino acids (L-AAs) and D-sugars. However, in many biomedical studies, there is a significant discrepancy between the amount of available information regarding D-AAs biology and a degree of pragmatic implementation. It is applying to the fields of nutrition and lactation. The mutual interaction of internal and environmental sources of D-AAs in an organism, including the food, microorganisms, is influenced by the spontaneous and enzymatic racemization. The interacting sources of D-AAs are recognized as an essential determinant in the embryonic/infant development, the lifestyle of an adult an organism, and aging. Progress in the analytical methods of chiral discrimination is promising to revolutionize the field of neuroscience, neurodegeneration, psychology, drug production, and the food ...

  Overall Clinical Outcome of Stereotactic Guided Burrhole-Drainage Versus Craniotomy with Removal of Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage Abstract Objective:  The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of stereotactic guided burrhole-drainage (STBD) and craniotomy for the treatment of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage(S-ICH). Method:  We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of patients with S-ICH treated in our hospital from December 2017 to November 2018. Patients were divided into STBD group and craniotomy with hematoma removal group according to different surgical methods. We compared the basic clinical data, basic conditions before surgery, postoperative status, and related complications of the two groups. The GOS score was used to evaluate the neurological function, and the activity of daily living (ADL) score was used to evaluate the daily living ability of the two groups. Results:  A total of 120 cases with S-ICH were i...

Impact of Minimal Invasive Robotic Surgery on Recovery From Postoperative Ileus and Postoperative Gastrointestinal Tract Dysfunction Abstract Postoperative gastrointestinal tract (GIT) dysfunction (POGD) and postoperative ileus (POI) are common symptoms resulting from small or large bowel surgery associated with extended hospitalizations, increase risk of infections and billions of dollars in health care costs. Open surgery is associated with higher gut surgical trauma / manipulation and worse outcomes compared to minimal invasive surgery. Robotic Surgery may offer added benefit to Colon Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (CERAS) protocols but do not solve the problem. Ultimately, a better understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms of POI and POGD can lead to prophylaxis and enhanced recovery after surgery. The impact of High Pressure Pneumoperitoneum and gut surgical manipulation on GIT dysfunction deserve further investigation. Keywords:  Postoperative ileus, POGD, POI, CERAS protoc...

  Advocating the use of social media for health education in consideration of the SARS CoV-2 pandemic Keywords SARS CoV-2 pandemic, Covid-19, Health education, Social media Opinion The outbreak of the severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), began in December 2019 in Wuhan, China [1]. It’s progression towards the pandemic by March 2020 [1] and beyond saw variable responses from a number of health agencies and governments that often put to question their motives and health knowledge. From the mention of herd immunity [2] to the suggestion of injecting bleach [3], world leaders demonstrated a lack of knowledge on their own right and worse, an inefficient use of eminent health professionals by their side [4]. The main concerns that were brought to attention were: 1. A delay in government response to control the spread of Covid-19 [5], demonstrating 2. A lack of government confidence in their own measures, [2] 3. A...
