  Cell as a Living System Introduction Results of model work on human systems are also used to understand the cell system. The principle of the living system is extended by a more or less suspected structure of dark matter. Dark matter as a rather astronomical term is interpreted as a fundamental part of the structure of living systems. Its function is connected with the materialization and control of the concept of existence. Living Systems Living systems evaluate their existence on the basis of the satisfaction of their elements, and therefore on their (migratory) tendency to leave the system - the object. The degree of tendency is, in a certain simplification, the degree of existence. The living object constantly evaluates the development of its own existence, and if it identifies an event known to it that announces the decline of existence, it activates the systemic means of reconstruction. They first evaluate the distribution of activities in the system and then activate the r...

  Fact-finding Survey of GS1 Data Bar Labeling of Ethical Drugs in Hospital Pharmacy Departments Abstract In Japan, JAN codes were used for the packaging of ethical drugs, but in September 2006, the MHLW issued “Guidelines for implementation of bar-code labeling of ethical drugs” for mechanical checking of drugs using GS1 Data Bar to prevent mix-ups and to ensure the traceability of ethical drugs. In Japan, tablets and capsules of ethical drugs are mostly delivered to patients, particularly outpatients, in PTP or SP. In the present survey, the printing conditions of GS1 DataBar on PTP or SP of oral tablets and capsules, and on the containers and labels of external preparations were investigated. The height and width of GS1 DataBars were most frequently 3 mm and 19 mm, respectively, regardless of the size of the PTP sheet itself. The color of GS1 DataBars was most frequently black, and the background was most frequently white. For drugs for internal use, improvements in printing tec...

  Who will Heal the Healers? Introduction COVID-19 pandemic has changed life as we know it. The world has been witnessing an unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic wreaking havoc for the past few months. This viral pandemic has caused fear and massive concern globally and has affected the mental health of not only the general public [1], but also the healthcare workers. Healthcare personnel including doctors, nurses and paramedical staff working in the front lines are amongst the most vulnerable. These healthcare workers are the unsung heroes fighting this war in the front lines against COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, they are also the most vulnerable for the mental and physical onslaught brought on by the pandemic. In Wuhan and other regions in China, the healthcare workers caring for COVID-19 patients have reported higher levels of depression, anxiety, insomnia and distress [2]. Healthcare workers constantly fear contagion and infection transmission to their family members and friends...

  Sympathetic Nerve Control of Blood Pressure Response during Exercise in Peripheral Artery Disease and Current Application of Experimental Disease Models Abstract In patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD), the blood supply directed to the lower limbs is reduced. This results in severe limb ischemia and thereby intermittent claudicating which is characterized by pain in lower limbs that occurs with walking and is relieved by rest. Of note, PAD can extremely affect the quality of living of patients and increase high risk of coronary and cerebral vascular accidents. However, effective treatments of PAD are still challenging in clinics. A number of reports have demonstrated the beneficial effects of supervised exercise on symptoms of PAD patients. This review will summarize results obtained from recent human and animal studies, which include the abnormalities in sympathetic control of blood pressure response during exercise in PAD, and rationality of animal models used for stud...

  The Response of the Hellenic 3D-Printing Community over the COVID-19 Pandemics: The Success Story of the Hellenic Mediterranean University Abstract By the February of 2020, humanity has to come across with a global health emergency. The corona virus, formally defined as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been declared a pandemic from the World Health Organization (WHO). No one could imagine how the disease’s spread could affect the people’s life over the following months. The uncontrolled outbreak of COVID-19 caused a lack of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)-Medical Devices in hospitals worldwide. Industry sector and supply chain was not able to cover all needs in PPE. In this situation, hospitals’ personnel have been working in the front line without any protection. There is where the “3D COVID” project comes. Many companies, hobbyists and academic entities started using their 3D Printers to produce PPE and/or Medical Devices (such as respiratory...

  The Impact of Corona Virus on Management of Ectopic Pregnancy Opinion Since January 2020, the novel virus of corona virus families, COVID-19, has been infecting people and many countries are still in the acceleration phase of this pandemic. COVID-19 is an RNA virus, respiratory pathogen that affects upper and lower respiratory system. SARS-cov2 RNA has also been detected in blood and stool specimens of people diagnosed with COVID-19, but there is not enough data on how does the virus transfers to these specimens. Due to the theoretical aerosolization risks and highly contagious human to human form of the illness, most surgeons have limited their surgeries and changed their policy for patient management [1-3]. During this pandemic, most obstetrics & gynaecologist focused on women with normal pregnancy and studied the complications COVID-19 may cause for both mother and fetus. However, the whole period of pregnancy and complications for example in the first trimester are equall...
