Abstract:

Thyroid storm is an acute, life-threatening, hypermetabolic state in children with thyrotoxicosis. Before the thyroid storm occurs, the patient falls into a “warning stage” called impending thyroid storm. Rapid diagnosis and prompt treatment of an impending thyroid storm are crucial to prevent further life-threatening impacts. We describe a pediatric patient who experienced two episodes of impending thyroid storm with negative COVID-19 tests during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract:

Men have always been in the eyes of the storm over the years and across all history, losing their lives with reckless abandon just to save their community, family, wives and children that their death no longer generates any emotions or concerns. Little wonder then, that during crises and war times the attention is only directed towards “innocent women and children” as if the men are guilty of the destructions that befall the society.The realization of the impending annihilation of the male gender necessitated this editorial so as to save the male species from total extinction. The concept of “paternal mortality” is a novel idea that may not have been written in social and medical texts, hence, this editorial that tends to raise the awareness of this impending catastrophe.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Health pandemics affect women and men differently, and they can make the existing gender inequalities much worse. COVID-19 is one such pandemic, which can have substantial gendered implications both during and in the post-pandemic world. Its economic and social consequences could deepen the existing gender inequalities and roll back the limited gains made in respect of women empowerment in the past few decades. The impending global recession, multiple trade restrictions, economic lockdown, and social distancing measures can expose vulnerabilities in social, political, and economic systems, which, in turn, could have a profound impact on women’s participation in trade and commerce. The article outlines five main reasons that explain why this health pandemic has put women employees, entrepreneurs, and consumers at the frontline of the struggle. It then explores how free trade agreements can contribute in repairing the harm in the post-pandemic world. In doing so, the author sheds light on various ways in which the existing trade agreements embrace gender equality considerations and how they can be better prepared to help minimize the pandemic-inflicted economic loss to women.

Abstract:

COVID-19 spread dramatically across the world in the beginning of 2020. This paper presents a novel alert system that will detect abrupt changes in the COVID-19 or other pandemic incidence rate through the estimated time-varying reproduction number (Rt). We applied the system to detect abrupt changes in the COVID-19 pandemic incidence rates in thirteen world regions with eight in the US and five across the world. Subsequently, we also evaluated the system with the 2009 H1N1 pandemic in Hong Kong. Our system performs well in detecting both the abrupt increases and decreases. Users of the system can obtain accurate information on the changing trend of the pandemic to avoid being misled by low incidence numbers. The world may face other threatening pandemics in the future; therefore, it is crucial to have a reliable alert system to detect impending abrupt changes in the daily incidence rates. An added benefit of the system is its ability to detect the emergence of viral mutations, as different virus strains are likely to have different infection rates.

Abstract:

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a critical global health issue driven by antibiotic misuse and overuse in various sectors, leading to the emergence of resistant microorganisms and represents an impending pandemic. Against the backdrop of COVID-19 pandemic, conflicts, and the escalating impact of anthropogenic climate change, the emergence and rapid escalation of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represent one of the most significant and imminent global public health threats of the 21st century.(1) As bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites increasingly evolve resistance to drugs that once treated infections effectively, the ‘superbugs’ such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and extremely drug-resistant tuberculosis, bacteria that are difficult to treat have emerged. This has brought humanity to the brink of a post-antibiotic era, where re-emergence of common infections is being noted. With resistance on the rise, surgical procedures like organ transplants and cesarean sections, cancer treatments where antibiotics are crucial, and management of life-threatening infectious diseases such as pneumonia, TB, HIV, and malaria are at risk of becoming dangerous due to the high potential for untreatable infections.

Abstract:

COVID19 pandemic is now testing health systems of countries globally irrespective of geographical location, environmental conditions, and population demographics. Among various prevention strategies as suggested by WHO and others, hand hygiene has emerged as the most important public health preventive measure to control similar outbreaks in the past (SARS & MERS) also including the current COVID19 pandemic. The COVID19 pandemic provides a well-timed opportunity to stress the importance of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) in the healthcare facilities (HCFs) and optimize infection prevention control across the globe. It also gives an opportunity to extend beyond conventional WASH and includes domains of biomedical waste management, Infection Prevention, and Control activities and also environmental hygiene. This perspective piece elaborates on the importance of optimal WASH and future scopes in HCFs during the post COVID19 pandemic era.

Abstract:

Influenza is a perennial problem affecting millions of people annually with the everpresent threat of devastating pandemics. Active prophylaxis by vaccination against influenza virus is currently the main countermeasure supplemented with antivirals. However, disadvantages of this strategy include the impact of antigenic drift, necessitating constant updating of vaccine strain composition, and emerging antiviral drug resistance. The development of other options for influenza prophylaxis, particularly with broad acting agents able to provide protection in the period between the onset of a pandemic and the development of a strain specific vaccine, is of great interest. Exploitation of broad-spectrum mediators could provide barricade protection in the early critical phase of influenza virus outbreaks. Passive immunity has the potential to provide immediate antiviral effects, inhibiting virus replication, reducing virus shedding, and thereby protecting vulnerable populations in the event of an impending influenza pandemic. Here, we review passive broad-spectrum influenza prophylaxis options with a focus on harnessing natural host defenses, including interferons and antibodies.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been the catalyst for innovative thought within the Sweeter the Juice winery and wine bar. As a result of the pandemic, sales and revenue were reduced by 90%. With this pandemic came a surplus of safety guidelines, shortages in products, and delays on impending shipments. The brief period towards the beginning of the pandemic where both the state and federal governments mandated quarantine and shelter-in-place orders drastically impacted revenue, clientele, and organizational operations. The organization engaged a management consultant to help in the creation of an adaptive technology leadership and marketing strategy. This paper looks at management consulting-driven action research to influence the world of practice through the exploration of real-world organizational interventions focused on the development of electronic entrepreneurial solutions.

Abstract:

The accuracy of economic decisions depends on the quality of financial information, coming mainlyfrom financial statements prepared by economic and other entities. In times of the pandemic, the threats tocontinuing economic activity appear to be greater. Hence, there is a need to develop hedging instruments. Goodinformation could protect many entities from the risk of bankruptcy. Such entities need transparent, easy tocalculate indicators informing them about the impending crisis. When analysing exposures in financialstatements, one can see that their volume is constantly increasing and recipients complain about the decreasingreadability. The aim of the article is to create such information which would allow the entrepreneur to reactquickly and dynamically to the weakening of his activity to create simple indicators to assess the situation, toseparate items on the balance sheet, which would pose a risk of bankruptcy

Abstract:

The article’s problematics is examined in the socio-cultural context. The pandemic phenomenon is considered as a metaphor derived from a pandemic of infectious diseases. The latter is nothing more than a model projected on various social evils. It is in this capacity (not in the viral-infectious one) the pandemic is used in the article. The article broadly interprets the concept of a pandemic as a universal type of general massification of a threatening nature. It is accompanied by fear, aggression, ideological delusions, economic and demographic catastrophes.Like the biomedical pandemic, its associative counterparts have been repeated with unpredictable regularity in human history. Even today, we can assume that the unforeseen consequences of information and communication technologies in the digital age bear the signs of impending pandemics. In the article, the infectious disease pandemic serves as a matrix model for characterizing an invariant version of other heterogeneous pandemics. The author builds his theoretical judgments on the material of well-known philosophical and cultural sources (L. Wittgenstein, M. Heidegger, M. Bakhtin, L. Vygotsky, S. Averintsev, R. Girard et al.), as well as on the history of art, its species and genre varieties.Particular attention is paid to the works of art whose authors intentionally give them an ambivalent meaning. A significant role is given to the subtext of the material presented, the importance of which is determined by the goal to realize the main semantic intent of the article. There is an attempt to substantiate the relevance of postmodernism culture to the modern picture of the world, to the highly ambivalent civilizational changes. The article uses the material of extensive artistic practice to trace the manifestations of postmodernism as both a symptom and a mocker of the absurdism of human existence. The final part of the article prognosticates a number of possible post-pandemic changes in various areas of public life.

Abstract:

In the unfolding narrative of global health, the ominous spectre of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) looms large, presenting an ever more urgent challenge to public health systems worldwide. Antibiotics are a primary tool in the field of therapeutic medicine & dentistry & they saturate the Indian pharmaceutical markets. Dentistry places substantial reliance on use of antibiotics in prophylaxis & therapy, but this dependence contributes to the overuse & misuse of these drugs. A significant number of prescriptions are frequently deemed superfluous.  Furthermore, antibiotics are readily accessible over the counter in addition to being subject to notable instances of overprescription. The absence of timely antibiotic culture & susceptibility tools accelerates the dissemination of resistance, resembling a wildfire. Given current trends, it appears we are unwittingly fostering a situation akin to Frankenstein's monster. But is this foresight or mere paranoia? Our focus must centre not only on bolstering surveillance but also on the understanding of the need of antibiotics in dental treatment, advocating for responsible antibiotic usage & advancing research into innovative treatments, in return fortifying healthcare systems. Failure to curb the spread of antimicrobial resistance, at best- jeopardises individual health to a point of no return, & at its worst- undermines the sustainability of modern medicine as we know it. This article is aimed to depict the contemporary landscape of antimicrobial resistance within the realm of dentistry ,speculate on its potential detrimental trajectory.

Abstract:

This article explores the proliferation of nonfiction narratives which warn of an impending global pandemic of African origin. Through a reading of four texts — Richard Preston's The Hot Zone, Laurie Garrett's The Coming Plague, Richard Kaplan's The Ends of the Earth, and Jeffrey Goldberg's ‘Our Africa Problem’ — the author argues that such pandemic narratives reflect unease about the United States' current and future role in Africa or other non-Western places, after a half-century of largely unsuccessful ‘development’. Second, plague tales reflect anxieties about environmental devastation in Africa and elsewhere. The article concludes that the most frightening aspect of these contemporary ‘plague tales' is the solutions they suggest to the ‘problem’ of a coming plague.

Abstract:

Introduction: As preparation against a possible avian flu pandemic, international and local health authorities have recommended seasonal influenza vaccination for all healthcare workers at geographical risk. This strategy not only reduces “background noise”, but also chance of genetic shifts in avian influenza viruses when co-infection occurs. We evaluate the response of healthcare workers, stratified by professional groups, to a non-compulsory annual vaccination call, and make international comparisons with countries not at geographical risk. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed over the window period for vaccination for the 2004 to 2005 influenza season (northern hemisphere winter). The study population included all adult healthcare workers (aged ≤21 years) employed by a large acute care tertiary hospital. Results: The uptake rates among frontline caregivers – doctors >50%, nurses >65% and ancillary staff >70% – markedly exceeded many of our international counterparts’ results. Conclusion: Given its close proximity in time and space to the avian flu pandemic threat, Singapore healthcare workers responded seriously and positively to calls for preventive measures. Other factors, such as the removal of financial, physical and mental barriers, may have played important facilitative roles as well. Key words: Avian, Flu, Pandemic, Season

Abstract:

The recent outbreak of COVID-19, declared a pandemic, has affected medical education globally. The scenario is no different for medical students in India as they find themselves at a crossroads in their careers, with clinical and elective postings called off. Missing out on the opportunity to learn from “first-hand” clinical observation stands to threaten the quality of medical education and learning procured by Indian medical students which is extremely essential to deal with the vast patient load that awaits them in their impending future as healthcare professionals. Is the Indian medical education system being able to cope with the challenges imposed by the increasing burden of COVID-19? The authors propose few administrative and on-ground interventions that must seek to work collectively with all government and private medical institutions in order to help students/interns and residents in coping with stress, anxiety or academic losses incurred due to the pandemic.

Abstract:

The United States needs a paradigm shift in its approach to control infectious diseases. Current recommendations are often made in a siloed feedback loop. This may be the driver for such actions as the abandonment of contact precautions in some settings, the allowance of nursing home residents who are carriers of known pathogens to mingle with others in their facility, and the determination of an intervention’s feasibility based upon budgetary rather than health considerations for patients and staff. Data from both the U.S. Veterans Health Administration and the U.K.’s National Health Service support the importance of carrier identification and source control. Both organizations observed marked decreases in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), but not methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus infections with the implementation of MRSA admission screening measures. Facilities are becoming over-reliant on horizontal prevention strategies, such as hand hygiene and chlorhexidine bathing. Hand hygiene is an essential practice, but the goal should be to minimize the risk of workers’ hands becoming contaminated with defined pathogens, and there are conflicting data on the efficacy of chlorhexidine bathing in non-ICU settings. Preemptive identification of dedicated pathogens and effective source control are needed. We propose that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention should gather and publicly report the community incidence of dedicated pathogens. This will enable proactive rather than reactive strategies. In the future, determination of a patient’s microbiome may become standard, but until then we propose that we should have knowledge of the main pathogens that they are carrying.

Abstract This article examines the series Tiger King through a Marxist lens, challenging prevailing capitalist narratives. It explores how the show provides a metanarrative of the present, critiquing capitalist values and exposing their illusory nature. By dethroning the Tiger King and questioning the legitimacy of meritocracy, it reveals the underlying dynamics of capitalist social relations characterized by lies, deception, and savagery. While not immediately leading to class consciousness or Marxism, the show lays the groundwork for this framework. The article also contemplates the potential rise of authentic class consciousness beyond capitalist triumphalism, sparked by widespread dissatisfaction as reflected in social conflicts. Ultimately, it suggests that Tiger King serves as a microcosm of broader power struggles, hinting at the possibility of impending class consciousness and class struggle.

Abstract:

This article poses the question of whether what we are witnessing today can be properly described as “fascistic.” It argues that it can if we understand fascism as an attack on liberal-democracy resulting from the now chronic (rather than acute) crisis of capitalism. Like the fascism of the twentieth century, this entails an endocolonizing logic that nonetheless relinquishes its claim on a future increasingly imperilled by the nature of the Covid-19 pandemic in the context of the impending climate emergency.

Abstract:

As the pandemic continues to spread vigorously, it is being noted that the COVID 19 virus is associated with various complications during the disease and also a great deal of post disease sequel.1 These gruelling complications are integrated with the overwhelming infection caused by the cytokine storm produced by the virus. While the treatment modalities are still under trial, glucocorticoids seem to have played a pivotal role in putting a check to the inflammation caused by the virus and have forbidden the organ damage caused thereafter. However, the aftermath of glucocorticoids usage has its own benefits and risks. Glucocorticoids cause cellular immunodeficiency and thus have immunosuppressive effects, additionally the use of immunomodulators such as tocilizumab alters the immune system and it subsequently predisposes the host to various secondary opportunistic infective agents. In the current state, as the pandemic abstains from fading away, an increasing trend of secondary fungal infections has been seen with COVID-19, resulting in an outbreak of fungal infections such as mucormycosis and candidiasis. Mucormycosis refers to any infection caused by the fungi of the Order Mucorales. Mucormycosis has been documented in the literature to be associated with a high rate of mortality due to its potential to spread drastically.2 Altered immunity is an important risk factor for mucormycosis. Additionally, diabetes has been noted to be critical for the development of mucormycosis in immunocompetent patients. Candidiasis is an infection caused by the candida species due to the immunosuppressed state developed by the use of glucocorticoids, which results in secondary fungal infection requiring urgent medical attention. The objective of this case report is to highlight the impending secondary fungal infection outbreak in COVID-19 and the need to contain this emerging spread of fungal infections under the blanket of this deadly pandemic.

Abstract:

This commentary reflects on some common themes that are starting to emerge in the early analysis of the healthcare procurement and commissioning response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although it largely results from the observation of the situation in the English NHS, the most salient issues are common to procurement in other EU healthcare systems, as well as more broadly across areas of the public sector that have strongly relied on the extremely urgent procurement exception in the aftermath of the first wave of the pandemic. Given the disfunction and abuse of ‘unregulated procurement’ in the context of COVID-19, the commentary reflects on the longer term need for suitable procurement rules to face impending challenges, such as Brexit and, more importantly, climate change.

Abstract:

Polycrisis is the buzzword among leftists right now. 1 The word expresses the coming together and interlocking of various crises: economic (inflation and slump), environmental (climate and pandemic) and geopolitical (war and international divisions). In this article, I intend to go through each of these components of the polycrisis of capitalism in the third decade of the 21st century. By the end of this account, the intensity of the impending collection of crises is revealed — and time is running out to avoid the consequences.

Abstract:

If you've listened to the news recently, you may have been struck by a sense of impending doom. This is perhaps especially true for adolescents, who have faced a global pandemic and the constant threat of school shootings and gun violence. Persistent feelings of hopelessness are experienced at alarming rates by adolescents. Hopelessness (defined as the negative expectation toward oneself or the future) has been widely reported to play a major role in the development of depressive symptoms, suicidal ideation, and unsafe behaviors (Berardelli et al., 2022; Stoddard et al., 2011).

Abstract:

We introduce a new real-time method to measure business opening and closure rates by relying on Google Places, the data behind the Google Maps platform. We collect data on establishments of customer-facing industries (food, retail, accommodation) and provide evidence that the opening and closure rates reflect well the temporary closures and reopening during the pandemic. We find that the operational or closed status of establishments is correlated with business reviews: fewer reviews are associated with impending business exit, and more reviews are associated with expanding businesses posting new job vacancies.

Abstract:

<em>This conceptual paper examined<em> the COVID-19 and its impacts, challenges and way forward in tertiary level of education in Nigeria. Indeed, the index case of Covid-19</em> was first reported in Wuhan-China at the end of 2019. The dreaded disease spread to almost <em>all countries and territories in the world</em>. In Nigeria, government underrated the outbreak of COVID-19 in various cities and villages thus undermining the implementation of initial precautionary measures which would have saved huge expenses while protecting the Nigerians from undue exposure to the virus. In tertiary level of education,<em> the threat posed by COVID-19 in particular was compounded owing to its susceptibility to other impending challenges of poverty, poor health system, insurgencies, kidnapping, banditry, high population density, in addition to underlying educational challenges that have kept the country behind in equipping young people with resource development, </em>impact and challenges of COVID-19 on tertiary education were also discussed. It was therefore recommended that government and concerned education stakeholders should ensure there are futuristic plans against similar experience.</em>

Abstract:

Australia’s planning and preparedness for a health emergency response has served us well in the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite this, rapid and agile decisions were required to manage the public health impact. In the face of uncertainty and the seemingly evolving nature of the virus, we have seen precautionary actions and outcomes beyond that articulated in planning. The timely closure of international borders, requiring 14-day quarantine of returning travellers in designated facilities, is one such outcome; yet potentially the single most effective measure in controlling the pandemic in Australia. Our testing strategy, case and contact management, social restrictions and community measures have successfully suppressed the virus to a level of no domestic community transmission. The framework for this success was the effective utilisation of existing public health committees, whole of government leadership and responsiveness at all levels and community support. With the impending commencement of the COVID-19 vaccine program, this framework continues to support navigating our way out of the pandemic.

Abstract:

Aim: The article is intended to contribute to a discussion on risks related to the CoViD-19 pandemic, which was started in the last issues of this journal. Findings: The article discusses the thesis that conventional risk management is reaching its limits in its application in companies, particularly with regard to low-probability but high-impact events its applications seems nor appropriate. In complex and tightly coupled systems like global supply chains, catastrophic events must be considered "normal". The risk of a global pandemic is well known, and at the end of 2019 the first signs of an impending outbreak were also evident. Nevertheless, the global pandemic and the gradual lockdown was surprising in that no precautionary measures were taken. Therefore, this paper argues for a change of perspective from traditional risk management to BCM and for increasing the resilience of supply chains. Keywords: CoViD-19, risk management, black swans, business continuity, supply chain resilience

Abstract:

This is a comparative analysis of similarities and differences between the Brazilian Adventist discourse on the 1918 Influenza pandemic – also known as the Spanish Flu – and the current Brazilian Adventist discourse on the COVID-19 pandemic. It focuses on how Adventists articulate the distinctive eschatological and sanitary elements of their narrative tradition in order to explain the two crises and to situate themselves in relation to them. The analysis corpus contains select texts published in Revista Adventista, the official bulletin of Brazilian Seventh-day Adventists, pertaining to two time periods: 1918–1920 and the first quarter of 2020. Both materials present pandemic crises as opportunities for evangelism since they display the understanding that societal values and paradigms become less impervious to religion in such conditions. But they differ in the fact that the 1918–1920 material concentrates on religious expansion and doctrine, especially emphasising the message of impending judgement of a Great Controversy metanarrative, while the 2020 material explores the medical and humanitarian aspects connected to the pandemic, transcending a purely eschatological emphasis and accommodating a concerted effort to give the readers emotional support to face the pandemic.

WHO declared Corona Virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a public health emergency on the 30th of January 2020. Soon afterward, COVID-19 cases started to emerge from all parts of the world. The state of Qatar was extremely vigilant from the very outset. Special measures were introduced immediately to restrict the influx of people from high-risk countries such as China and Iran. The Ministry of public health (MOPH), Qatar started preparing for an impending pandemic in the meantime. The first cluster of COVID-19 positive cases was declared on March the 11th 2019. A total of 238 cases were declared positive on this day. It raised the alarm to roll over all those preparations on the ground into practice

WHO declared worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic on 11 March 2020. Healthcare authorities have temporarily stopped all elective surgical and endoscopy procedures. Nevertheless, there is a subset of patients who require emergency treatment such as aerosol-generating procedures. Herein, we would like to discuss the management of a patient diagnosed with impending biliary sepsis during COVID-19 outbreak. The highlight of the discussion is mainly concerning the advantages of concurrent use of aerosol protective barrier in addition to personal protective equipment practice, necessary precautions to be taken during endoscopy retrograde cholangiopancreatography and handling of the patient preprocedure and postprocedure.

With COVID, employees are questioning their exploitative workplace conditions, providing opportunities to rethink conventional arrangements. How might we reorganize economies so that they actually support the vast majority of people? How might we create stronger institutions to protect us against the array of existential threats we now face—which would include not just another pandemic, but also ongoing political instability, growing economic inequality, and the impending climate catastrophe? Besides introducing policies that guarantee a certain standard of living, people could explore cooperatives and other participatory organizations where members exercise a greater say in how to run their groups.
