    1. MONKEY POX - the next pandemic ? DR. NILAKSHI GUPTA SENIOR RESIDENT LOK NAYAK HOSPITAL, NEW DELHI
    2. HISTORY  Monkeypox- Initial discovery in monkeys in a Danish laboratory in 1958.  First human case- 9-year-old boy in the democratic republic of the Congo in 1970
    3. Clade West african clade Congo basin clade Severity Less severe More severe Case fatality rate 3.6% 10.6% Transmissibility Less More CLADES OF MONKEYPOX VIRUS
    4. VIROLOGY  Enveloped double-stranded DNA virus  Family: poxviridae  Genus: orthopoxvirus .
    5. EPIDEMIOLOGY  Viral zoonosis  Since 1970, human cases of monkeypox have been reported in 11 african countries  The true burden of monkeypox is not known.
    6. Monkeypox cases in non-endemic countries reported to WHO between 13 to 21 may 2022
    7. MODE OF TRANSMISSION  Virus enters body through broken skin, respiratory tract, or mucous membranes [eye, nose, mouth]. Direct contact close contact with lesions, body fluids, respiratory droplets Indirect contact contaminated materials such as bedding. Human to human Animal to human Bites Scratches Bush meat preparation
    8. CLINICAL FEATURES Invasion period  Lasts between 0&#226;5 days  Characterized by fever, intense headache, lymphadenopathy (swelling of the lymph nodes), back pain, myalgia (muscle aches) and intense asthenia (lack of energy).  Lymphadenopathy is a distinctive feature of monkeypox compared to other diseases that may initially appear similar (chickenpox, measles, smallpox) Incubation period: 6 to 13 days but can range from 5 to 21 days.
    9. Period of rash- within 1&#226;3 days of appearance of fever.  More on the face and extremities rather than on the trunk.  It affects face (95%), and palms of the hands and soles of the feet (75%). Also affected are oral mucous membranes (70%), genitalia (30%), and conjunctivae &#38; cornea (20%)  The rash evolves sequentially from macules to papules vesicles pustules and crusts which dry up and fall off.  The number of lesions varies from a few to several thousand.
    10.  Macules (lesions with a flat base)  papules (slightly raised firm lesions)  Vesicles (lesions filled with clear fluid)  Pustules (lesions filled with yellowish fluid)  scabs  At the SAME STAGE of development over all affected areas of the body.  Usually self-limiting  Symptoms may last from 2-4 weeks.  May be severe in some individuals, such as children, pregnant women or persons with immune suppression due to other health conditions.
    11. LABORATORY DIAGNOSIS  Optimal diagnostic samples: skin lesions &#226; the roof or fluid from vesicles and pustules, and dry crusts. Where feasible, biopsy is an option.  Lesion is swabbed vigorously, to ensure adequate viral DNA is collected. Both dry swabs and swabs placed in viral transport media (VTM) can be used.  Two lesions of the same type should be collected in one single tube, preferably from different locations on the body and which differ in appearance.
    12.  All specimens being transported should have triple packaging, labelling and documentation.  Specimens should be refrigerated or frozen within an hour of collection and transported to the laboratory as soon as possible.  If transport exceeds 7 days, specimens should be stored at -20&#194;c or lower.  Longer term specimen storage (&#62;60 days from collection) is at -70&#194;C.
    13. DIAGNOSIS  Confirmatory test: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the preferred laboratory test  Nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT), using real-time or conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR), for detection of unique sequences of viral DNA.  PCR can be used alone, or in combination with sequencing.  PCR protocols for the detection of OPXV and more specifically MPXV-With distinction of Congo basin and west African clades.
    14.  Some protocols involve two steps, in which the first PCR reaction detects OPXV, but does not identify which species.  This can then be followed by a second step, which can be PCR-based or utilize sequencing, to specifically detect MPXV.  Disposal of waste: All waste that may contain MPXV should be decontaminated before disposal by autoclaving or chemical disinfection.
    15. OTHER METHODS  Electron microscopy: Electron microscopy can be used this method is not routinely used for the diagnosis of poxviruses.  Viral culture: Virus isolation is not recommended as a routine diagnostic procedure.
    16.  Antigen and antibody detection methods do not provide monkeypox- specific confirmation due to serological cross-reactivity  Not recommended for diagnosis
    17. INFECTION CONTROL  Isolation of patient  Use of personal protective equipment  Proper hand hygiene and cleaning procedures  Household disinfection
    18. ISOLATION OF PATIENT  Persons with extensive lesions should be isolated in a separate room.  Household members should limit contact with the infected person.  Infected people should also avoid contact with animals, including pets.
    19. USE OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT  Persons with monkeypox should wear a surgical mask,  Disposable gloves should be worn for direct contact with lesions and disposed of after use.  Skin lesions should be covered to the best extent possible (Long sleeves, long pants) to minimize risk of contact with others.  Contain and dispose of contaminated waste (such as dressings and bandages) should be done according to biomedical waste disposal.
    20. PROPER HAND HYGIENE AND CLEANING PROCEDURES  Hand hygiene- Hand washing with soap and water or use of an alcohol-based hand rub should be done.  Hand hygiene is to be performed after touching lesion material, clothing, linens, or environmental surfaces.
    21. HOUSEHOLD DISINFECTION  Laundry: To be washed separately to avoid direct contact with contaminated material.  Soiled dishes and utensils should be with warm water and soap.  Contaminated surfaces should be cleaned and disinfected. Standard household cleaning/disinfectants may be used.
    22. INFECTION CONTROL PRECAUTIONS By health workers-  To implement standard, contact and droplet precautions  Recommended personal protective equipment (PPE) includes gloves, gown, medical mask and eye protection &#226; goggles or face shield  Aerosol generating procedures should be done by taking proper precautions.  Continue until all lesions have resolved and a fresh layer of skin has formed.
    23. VACCINATION  Data from Africa suggests that smallpox vaccine is at least 85% effective in preventing monkeypox.  JynneosTm (also known as imvamune or imvanex), has been licensed in the united states to prevent monkeypox and smallpox.  Acam2000, which contains a live vaccinia virus, is licensed for immunization in people who are at least 18 years old and at high risk for smallpox infection. It can be used in people exposed to monkeypox if used under an expanded access investigational new drug protocol.
    24. TREATMENT  An antiviral agent known as TECOVIRIMAT[ST-246] developed for smallpox was licensed by the European medical association (EMA) for monkeypox in 2022.  Data is not available on the effectiveness of cidofovir and brincidofovir in treating human cases of monkeypox. However, both have proven activity against poxviruses in in vitro and animal studies.  Currently, there is no proven, safe treatment for monkeypox virus infection.  For purposes of controlling a monkeypox outbreak, smallpox vaccine, antivirals, and vaccinia immune globulin (vig) can be used
    25. RECOMMENDED PUBLIC HEALTH ACTION- NCDC,MOHFW, MAY 2022 1. Health care facilities to keep heightened suspicion in people who; a. Present with otherwise unexplained rash and b. Who have travelled in the last 21 days to a country that has recently confirmed or suspected cases of monkeypox or c. Report contact with a person or people with confirmed or suspected monkeypox.
    26. 2. All suspected cases to be isolated at designated healthcare facilities untill all lesions have resolved and a fresh layer of skin has formed OR until the treating physician decides to end isolation. 3. All such patients to be reported to the district surveillance officer of IDSP. 4. All infection control practices to be followed while treating such patients. 5. Laboratory samples consisting of fluid from vesicle ,blood, sputum etc to be sent to NIV pune for testing in case of suspicion 6. In case a positive case is detected, contact tracing has to be initiated immediately to identify the contacts of the patient in the last 21 days.

    1. Is MonkeyPox the next pandemic ? Dr. Suresh Kumar Medical Director , Lok Nayak Hospital Director Professor &#38; Head of Medicine, Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi.
    2. Monkeypox &#226; Monkeypox virus is an enveloped double‐stranded DNA virus with a genome size of around 190 kb. &#226; Monkeypox is a viral zoonotic disease that occurs primarily in tropical rainforest areas of Central and West Africa and is occasionally exported to other regions.
    3. Structure
    4. Confirmed human monkeypox cases Africa, 1970-2021
    5. Confirmed human monkeypox cases Worldwide,1970-2021
    6. Monkeypox transmission &#226; an overview
    7. Monkeypox &#226; modes of transmission &#226; Unprotected contact with: &#226; respiratory droplets &#226; lesion material &#226; body fluids &#226; contaminated materials and surfaces The virus can enter through: &#226; respiratory tract &#226; mucous membranes (eyes and mouth) &#226; broken skin (e.g. animal bites
    8. Disease progression I &#226; Incubation &#226; Duration: 5-21 days &#226; No symptoms &#226; Virus present in bloodstream (viremia) at the end of the incubation period
    9. Disease progression II &#226; Febrile stage &#226; 1-4 days &#226; Fever + other symptoms: swollen lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy), headache, chills, sore throat, malaise, fatigue &#226; Virus in the blood &#226; Small lesions in the mouth (enanthem) appear towards the end
    10. Disease progression III &#226; Rash stage
    11. Disease progression III &#226; Rash stage &#226; Virus may be in the blood early in this stage &#226; Virus is present in skin lesions &#226; Antibodies are produced and become detectable
    12. Disease progression IV &#226; Recovery &#226; The patient has recovered &#226; Specific antibodies are present in the blood &#226; Scars may remain
    13. Monkeypox symptoms &#226; an overview
    14. Monkeypox and other common rash illnesses
    15. Clinical Symptoms &#226; Monkeypox typically presents clinically with fever, rash and swollen lymph nodes and may lead to a range of medical complications. &#226; Monkeypox is usually a self-limited disease with the symptoms lasting from 2 to 4 weeks. &#226; Severe cases can occur. &#226; In recent times, the case fatality ratio has been around 3-6%. &#226; Monkeypox is transmitted to humans through close contact with an infected person or animal, or with material contaminated with the virus. &#226; Monkeypox virus is transmitted from one person to another by close contact with lesions, body fluids, respiratory droplets and contaminated materials such as bedding.
    16. Monkeypox: Clinical syndromes and possible treatment options
    17. Prevention &#226; Raising awareness of risk factors and educating people about the measures they can take to reduce exposure to the virus is the main prevention strategy for monkeypox. &#226; Scientific studies are now underway to assess the feasibility and appropriateness of vaccination for the prevention and control of monkeypox. &#226; Some countries have, or are developing, policies to offer vaccine to persons who may be at risk such as laboratory personnel, rapid response teams and health workers.
    18. Treatment &#226; At this time, there are no specific treatments available for monkeypox infection, but monkeypox outbreaks can be controlled. &#226; Smallpox vaccine, cidofovir, ST-246, and vaccinia immune globulin (VIG) can be used to control a monkeypox outbreak. &#226; CDC guidance was developed using the best available information about the benefits and risks of smallpox vaccination and drug use for the prevention and management of monkeypox and other orthopoxvirus infections.
    19. Monkeypox and Smallpox Vaccine &#226; One vaccine, JYNNEOSTM (also known as Imvamune or Imvanex), has been licensed in the United States to prevent monkeypox and smallpox. &#226; Because monkeypox virus is closely related to the virus that causes smallpox, smallpox vaccine can also protect people from getting monkeypox. &#226; Past data from Africa suggests that smallpox vaccine is at least 85% effective in preventing monkeypox. &#226; The effectiveness of JYNNEOSTM against monkeypox was concluded from a clinical study on the immunogenicity of JYNNEOS and efficacy data from animal studies. &#226; Experts also believe that vaccination after a monkeypox exposure may help prevent the disease or make it less severe.
    20. THANK YOU

<item><title>Monkeypox Outbreak 2022</title><link>https://www.friendbookmark.com/videos/1259/monkeypox-outbreak-2022</link><description>Monkeypox Outbreak 2022


    1. Monkeypox outbreak by/ Kholoud Mohamed Family Medicine Resident Under supervision of Dr/ Samar Osama Assistant lecturer at the Family Medicine Department
    2. The Causative Agent: Monkeypox is an infectious disease caused by the Monkeypox virus which is a double-stranded DNA, zoonotic virus and a species of the genus Orthopoxvirus in the family Poxviridae. Other human orthopoxviruses include variola, cowpox , and vaccinia viruses.
    3. &#226; The virus is found mainly in tropical rainforest regions of Central and West Africa. &#226; The virus is split into Congo Basin and West African clades. &#226; The Central African clade is reported more frequently and more severely than the West African clade . &#226; The case fatality rate for the West African clade is around 3.6 %, whereas for the Central African clade, it may be as high as 10.6 %.
    4. Epidemiology:
    5. 2003 U.S. outbreak:  It was the first outbreak of monkeypox outside of Africa.  In May 2003, a young child became ill with fever and rash after being bitten by a prairie dog.  In total, 71 cases of monkeypox were reported &#38; all cases were traced to Gambian pouched rats imported from Ghana.  No deaths were reported. 2003 Midwest monkeypox outbreak
    6. 2017 Nigeria outbreak: In 2017, Nigeria has experienced a large outbreak, with over 500 suspected cases and over 200 confirmed cases and a case fatality rate of approximately 3%. 2018 United Kingdom cases:  In Sept 2018, the United Kingdom&#39;s first case of monkeypox was recorded.  The person contracted monkeypox in Nigeria before travelling to the United Kingdom.  Till December 2019, 3 cases were recorded, and 2 of them were travelling to the UK from Nigeria. One of them was a medical worker who cared for a case.
    7. 2018 Israel case: In October 2018, one case occurred in a man who traveled from Nigeria to Israel. 2019 Singapore case: On May 2019, Singapore reported the first case of monkeypox who travelled from Nigeria. 2021 cases:  On 24 May in the UK, three cases of monkeypox from a single household were reported.  On 16 July in the US, an American returning from a trip in Nigeria was diagnosed with monkeypox.
    8. Countries reporting confirmed human cases of monkeypox 1970 &#226; 2021, WHO
    9. 2022 UK outbreak: The index case:  In late April 2022, the case was reported of a British resident who travelled to Nigeria.  The patient developed symptoms of monkeypox on 29 April while still in Nigeria.  On 4 May, the patient flew back to the UK, presented to hospital later the same day. The monkeypox infection was immediately suspected.  The patient was hospitalized and isolated.
    10.  Extensive contact tracing of people who had been in contact with the index case both on the international flight from Nigeria to the United Kingdom and within the country following their arrival was carried out.  The potential contacts were advised to remain aware of the symptoms of monkeypox and immediately isolate if any symptom develops within 21 days of the contact event.  Monkeypox (West African clade) was laboratory confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on a vesicular swab on 6 May by the United Kingdom Health Security Agency (UKHSA).
    11. on 12 May, two new cases of monkeypox were confirmed by the UKHSA in London. There was no known link between either of them and the index case or travel to endemic regions. on 17 May, Four additional cases of monkeypox were confirmed by the UKHSA. None of these new cases had any known contact history with the previous three confirmed cases, suggesting wider community transmission of the virus in London. On 20 May, it was reported that another eleven cases had been confirmed in the UK, bringing the total number in the country to 20.
    12. Europe, North America and Australia: On May 18 Portugal: 14 confirmed cases 20 suspected cases Spain: 7 confirmed cases 23 suspected cases The USA: confirmed single case Canada: 13 suspected cases
    13. On May 19 On May 20 Sweden : the first confirmed case Belgium: the first confirmed case Italy: the first confirmed case France: a suspected case Australia : 2 confirmed cases Germany : first confirmed case
    14.  On May 20, the World Health Organization held an emergency meeting to discuss the outbreak.  The WHO European chief expressed concern that infections could accelerate in Europe as people gather for parties and festivals over the summer.  The WHO is expected to provide an update on sequencing of the virus genome from different cases to determine the cause.
    15. Cases of monkeypox in non-endemic countries reported to WHO between 13 to 21 May 2022
    16. Geographical distribution of confirmed and suspected cases of monkeypox in non-endemic between 13 to 21 May 2022
    17. Cases of monkeypox in endemic countries between 15 December 2021 to 1 May 2022
    18. Cases of monkeypox in non-endemic countries till 27 May 2022
    19. The current situation in Egypt: On May 20, Dr. Hossam Abdel Ghaffar, the spokesman of the Egyptian Ministry of Health and population confirmed that there are no cases of infection or suspected infection with the monkeypox virus so far.
    20. Animal Reservoir: &#226; Monkeys &#226;Dormice &#226;Gambian pouched rats &#226;African squirrels Monkeys dormouse Gambian pouched rat African squirrel
    21. Mode of Transmission: The virus enters the body through:  Broken skin (even if not visible).  The mucous membranes (eyes, nose, or mouth).  Respiratory tract. Animal-to-human transmission may occur by:  Bite or scratch.  Bushmeat preparation.  Direct contact with body fluids or lesion material.  Indirect contact with lesion material, such as contaminated bedding.
    22. Human-to-human transmission occurs through:  Large respiratory droplets.  Direct contact with body fluids or lesion material.  Indirect contact with lesion material, such as contaminated clothing or linens. Human-to-human transmission is occurring among people in close physical contact with cases who are symptomatic.
    23. Is it a sexually transmitted disease??! Almost all of the case clusters include men aged 20&#226;50, many of whom are gay, bisexual and have sex with men (GBMSM). Although monkeypox isn&#226;t known to be sexually transmitted, sexual activity certainly constitutes close contact. The most likely explanation is that the virus was coincidentally introduced into a GBMSM community, and the virus has continued circulating there.
    24. Is the virus genetically mutated??! In Portugal, the first draft genome sequence of the monkeypox virus was obtained from a swab collected on May 4th from skin lesions from a male patient. The draft genome indicates that the 2022 virus belongs to the West African clade and is most closely related to viruses associated with the exportation of monkeypox virus from Nigeria to several countries in 2018 and 2019, namely the United Kingdom, Israel and Singapore.
    25. The incubation period: usually 6-13 days but can range from 5-21 days.
    26. History taking: Important clues:  Recent travel to endemic areas.  Interaction with wild animals imported from endemic areas.  Providing care to an infected animal or human.
    27. Clinical picture: Initial symptoms : Fever. Headache. Myalgia. Fatigue. Lymphadenopathy. (a key differentiating feature of monkeypox from smallpox)
    28. Within 1 to 3 days after the fever, the patient develops a rash: &#226; Begins on the face and extremities (including palms and soles). &#226; Centrifugally concentrated. &#226; The total number of lesions may vary from a small amount to thousands. Lesions progress through the following sequential stages before falling off: &#226; Macules &#226; Papules &#226; Vesicles &#226; Pustules &#226; Scabs
    29. Monkeypox lesions
    30. Differential Diagnosis: Smallpox Chickenpox Disseminated zoster Eczema herpeticum Disseminated herpes simplex Syphilis Scabies Rickettsia Measles Bacterial skin infections Drug-associated eruption
    31. Diagnosis: Clinically. Laboratory testing: &#226; Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing of samples from skin lesions. &#226; Specimens should be collected from at least 3 lesions and from different sites on the body. &#226; Viral culture &#226; Anti-orthopoxvirus IgM and IgG. WHO-Laboratory testing for the monkeypox virus: Interim guidance is available at: https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/WHO- MPX-laboratory-2022.1
    32. Prevention:  Avoid contact with animals that could harbor the virus  Avoid contact with any materials of a sick animal.  Isolate infected patients from others who could be at risk for infection.  Practice good hand hygiene after contact with infected animals or humans.  Use personal protective equipment (PPE) when caring for patients including gown, gloves and masks.
    33. Vaccination: Smallpox vaccine (ACAM2000): &#226; It contains live vaccinia virus, and it was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on 31 August 2007. &#226; It is administered by (scarification) using a bifurcated needle. &#226; Following a successful inoculation, a lesion will develop at the site of the vaccination. The virus growing at the site of this inoculation lesion can be spread to other parts of the body or even to other people.
    34. The vaccine is not routinely available for public. It is licensed for immunization in people who are at least 18 years old and at high risk for smallpox infection such as laboratorians working with certain orthopoxviruses and military personnel. The smallpox vaccine is thought to be at least 85% effective in preventing monkeypox.
    35. JYNNEOS (also known as Imvamune or Imvanex)  JYNNEOS is a live, attenuated vaccinia virus, incapable of replicating.  On Sept 2019, it was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).  It is administered as two subcutaneous injections four weeks apart.  There is no visible &#226;take&#226; and as a result, no risk of spread to other parts of the body or other people.
    36. People who receive JYNNEOS are not considered vaccinated until they receive both doses of the vaccine. It is indicated for preventing smallpox and monkeypox disease in adults 18 years of age and older who are at high risk for smallpox or monkeypox infection. It can be used for patients with weakened immune systems or atopic dermatitis.
    37. When to take the vaccine? &#226; Vaccines are effective at protecting people against monkeypox when given before exposure to monkeypox virus. &#226; The vaccine can be given within 4 days from the date of exposure in order to prevent onset of the disease. &#226; If given between 4&#226;14 days after the date of exposure, vaccination may reduce the symptoms of disease, but may not prevent the disease.
    38. Monkeypox Disease vs Vaccine Risks.  In Central Africa&#226;where people live in remote areas and are medically underserved&#226;showed that the monkeypox disease killed 1&#226;10% of people infected.  Complications of the vaccines include eczema vaccinatum, progressive vaccinia resulting in death, contact transmission of vaccine virus, and fetal vaccinia.  Between 1 and 2 people out of every 1 million people vaccinated will die as a result of life-threatening complications from the vaccine
    39. Ring Vaccination This would vaccinate the close contacts of people who have been infected with monkeypox to cut off any routes of transmission and contain the spread of monkeypox.
    40. Treatment: Supportive care: &#226; Antipyretic. &#226; Treatment of fluid &#38; electrolytes disturbance. &#226; Oxygenation if needed. &#226; Empirical antibiotic therapy if secondary bacterial infection is suspected. &#226; Acyclovir if varicella zoster infection is suspected.
    41. Tecovirimat (ST-246): &#226; On 13 July 2018, it was approved the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and was approved for medical use in the European Union in January 2022. &#226; Animal Studies have shown that ST-246 is effective in treating orthopoxvirus-induced disease. &#226; Human clinical trials indicated the drug was safe and tolerable with only minor side effects.
    42. Brincidofovir &#38; Cidofovir: &#226; Cidofovir was approved for medical use in 1996. &#226; Brincidofovir was approved for medical use in June 2021. Brincidofovir is a prodrug of cidofovir. &#226; Brincidofovir may have an improved safety profile over Cidofovir. &#226; It have proven activity against poxviruses in in vitro and animal studies.
    43. Vaccinia Immune Globulin (VIG) &#226; It has no proven benefit in the treatment of smallpox complications. &#226; IVIG can be considered for prophylactic use in an exposed person with severe immunodeficiency in T-cell function for which smallpox vaccination following exposure to monkeypox is contraindicated.
    44. Complications:  Bacterial superinfection of skin  Permanent skin scarring  Hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation  Permanent corneal scarring (vision loss)  Pneumonia  Dehydration  Sepsis  Encephalitis  Death
    45. Complications among Pregnant Women With Human Monkeypox: In 2017, Mbala et al. reported the fetal outcomes of 4 pregnant women who were infected by monkeypox virus. Variable Case 1 Case 2 Case 3 Case 4 severity Moderate Severe Mild Moderate Age, y 20 25 29 22 Time of gestation, wk 6 6&#226;7 14 18 Event Miscarriage Miscarriage Live birth Fetal death
    46. Pathologic findings for the stillborn fetus from case 4:  Diffuse cutaneous maculopapular lesions.  Hydrops fetalis  Marked hepatomegaly with peritoneal effusion.  No congenital malformations or deformities.  Postmortem autopsy was consistent with intrauterine fetal demise.  Placental hemorrhages on the maternal surface.
    47.  Monkeypox is usually self-limiting.  The condition resolves around 3 to 4 weeks after symptom onset in most cases.  Patients are no longer considered infectious after all crusts fall off.  The West African clade has a more favorable prognosis with a case fatality rate 3.6% .  The Central Basin clade is more lethal, with a case fatality rate of up to 10.6% in unvaccinated children.
    48. The role of Family Physicians:
    49. Case and Contact Definitions:
    50. CASE INVESTIGATIONS: &#226; Once a suspected case is detected, the physician should notify health care authority to start intensified surveillance. CDC case Investigation Form available at: https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/pdf/Monkeypox-Exposure- Questionnaire.pdf &#226; Referral to the isolation facility. &#226; The patient should wear a surgical mask&#38; skin lesions should be covered (e.g., long sleeves, long pants).
    51. During hospitalization: &#226; The patients should be isolated in a negative air pressure room as soon as possible. &#226; If it is not available, place patients in a private examination room. &#226; If neither option is feasible, these following precautions must be applied : a surgical mask over the patient&#226;s nose and mouth and covering any of the patient&#226;s exposed skin lesions with a sheet or gown. &#226; Confirmation of the diagnosis with lab tests and proper treatment and follow up of the patient.
    52. Personal protective measures : &#226; PPE should be donned before entering the patient&#226;s room. &#226; All PPE should be disposed prior to leaving the patient&#226;s room.  Disposable gown.  Gloves whenever in contact with the patient, and with the patient surroundings.  NIOSH-certified N95 (or comparable) filtering disposable respirator.  Eye protection (e.g., face shields or goggles).
    53. In case of home isolation: &#226; The patient should be isolated in a room or area separate from other family members when possible. &#226; Persons with monkeypox should not leave the home except as required for follow-up medical care. &#226; They also should avoid contact with wild or domestic animals. &#226; Unexposed persons who do not have an essential need to be in the home should not visit.
    54. &#226; The patients should wear a surgical mask &#38; if this is not feasible, other household members should wear a surgical mask when in the presence of the person with monkeypox. &#226; Disposable gloves should be worn for direct contact with lesions and disposed of after use. &#226; Skin lesions should be covered to the best extent possible (e.g., long sleeves, long pants). &#226; Contain and dispose of contaminated waste after consultation with state or local health officials. Do not dispose of waste in landfills or dumps.
    55. Duration of Isolation Procedures Isolation should be continued until all lesions have resolved and a fresh layer of skin has formed. Following the discontinuation of isolation, the patients should avoid close contact with immunocompromised persons until all crusts are gone. &#226; Immunologic disorders. &#226; Chronic diseases. &#226; Immunosuppressive therapy.
    56. Contact tracing: &#226; Identification of all contacts of every suspected case during case investigation . &#226; All contacts should be included in a line-list and the contact listing section of the MPX Case investigation form. &#226; If the laboratory result of a suspected case comes back as negative, the contacts are immediately dropped from further follow-up. &#226; The contacts of confirmed animals or humans and contacts of probable cases should be placed under symptom surveillance for 21 days calculated from the last day of exposure.
    57. Case investigation form - U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
    58. Contacts should be instructed to monitor their temperature twice daily. If fever or rash develop, contacts should self-isolate and contact their local health department immediately. If only chills or lymphadenopathy develop, the contact should remain at their residence and self-isolate for 24-hours. During this time, the individual should monitor their temperature for fever; if a fever or rash develop, the health department should be contacted immediately. If fever or rash do not develop and chills or lymphadenopathy persist, the contact should be evaluated by a clinician for potential cause.
    59. &#226; Contacts who remain asymptomatic can be permitted to continue routine daily activities (e.g., go to work, school). &#226; Contacts should not donate blood, cells, tissue, breast milk, semen, or organs while they are under symptom surveillance.
    60. Monitoring of the exposed healthcare workers:  All healthcare worker should be alert to the symptoms and should notify the infection control department if develop any symptoms.  Healthcare workers who have unprotected exposures do not need to be excluded from work duty if asymptomatic, but should undergo active surveillance, which includes measurement of temperature at least twice daily for 21 days following the exposure.  Prior to reporting for work each day, the healthcare worker should be interviewed regarding evidence of fever or rash.
    61. Could it be a new pandemic ??! &#226; Unlike SARS-CoV-2, It is related to the smallpox virus, there are already treatments and vaccines on hand. &#226; Unlike SARS-CoV-2, which spreads through tiny air-borne droplets, monkeypox spreads mainly through close contact with bodily fluids, and less extent through large respiratory droplets.
    62. &#226; Unlike SARS-CoV-2, RNA virus, monkeypox virus is a relatively large DNA virus. DNA viruses are better at detecting and repairing mutations than RNA viruses. &#226; According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Monkeypox can be contained in countries outside of Africa where the virus is not usually detected. &#226; The current outbreak probably won&#226;t necessitate containment strategies beyond ring vaccination. &#226;This is a containable situation&#226; Maria Van Kerkhove, the WHO&#39;s emerging disease lead

<item><title>Secondary Dyslipidemia</title><link>https://www.friendbookmark.com/videos/1146/secondary-dyslipidemia</link><description>Information covered in this presentation slides:
    1. Secondary Dyslipidemia By : Ahmed Mohsen Ammar Yasser Heba Sadek Marwa Khalifa
    2. Dyslipidemia &#226; Definition : Dyslipidemias are disorders of lipoprotein metabolism, including lipoprotein overproduction or deficiency. These disorders may be manifested by elevation of the serum total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations, and a decrease in the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentration.
    3. Classification Etiological classification 1- Primary Hyperlipidemia. 2- Secondary Hyperlipidemia.
    4. Secondary hyperlipidemia Causes: &#226; Type 2 diabetes mellitus &#226; Cholestatic liver diseases &#226; Nephrotic syndrome &#226; Chronic renal failure &#226; Hypothyroidism &#226; Cigarette smoking &#226; Obesity &#38; Anorexia nervosa &#226; Drugs : such as thiazides, &#206;-blockers, retinoids, highly active antiretroviral agents, estrogen and progestins, and glucocorticoids.
    5. Increased triglyceride level &#226; Alcoholism &#226; Diabetes mellitus &#226; Hypothyroidism &#226; Obesity &#226; Renal insufficiency &#226; Drugs: Beta-adrenergic blockers ,Bile acid&#226;binding resins, Estrogens ,Ticlopidine &#226; Acute hepatitis &#226; Systemic lupus &#226; Ileal bypass surgery &#226; Monoclonal gammopathy :myeloma &#226; Sepsis &#226; Pregnancy
    6. Decreased HDL cholesterol level &#226; Cigarette smoking &#226; Diabetes mellitus &#226; Hypertriglyceridemia &#226; Menopause &#226; Obesity &#226; Puberty (in males) &#226; Uremia &#226; Drugs: Anabolic steroids,Beta-adrenergic blockers ,Progestins
    7. Increased LDL cholesterol level &#226;Diabetes mellitus &#226;Hypothyroidism &#226;Nephrotic syndrome &#226;Obstructive liver disease &#226;Drugs: Anabolic steroids, Progestins ,Beta- adrenergic blockers ,Thiazides &#226;Anorexia nervosa &#226;Acute intermittent porphyria
    8. Type 2 Diabetes mellitus Diabetes is an especially significant secondary cause because patients tend to have an atherogenic combination of high TGs; high small, dense LDL fractions; and low HDL (diabetic dyslipidemia) Diabetes mellitus
    9. The combination may be a consequence of obesity, poor control of diabetes, or both, which may increase circulating free fatty acids (FFAs), leading to increased hepatic very-low- density lipoprotein (VLDL) production. TG-rich VLDL then transfers TG and cholesterol to LDL and HDL, promoting formation of TG-rich, small, dense LDL and clearance of TG-rich HDL.
    10. Diabetic dyslipidemia is often exacerbated by the increased caloric intake and physical inactivity that characterize the lifestyles of some patients with type 2 diabetes.
    11. Cholestatic Liver Disease Primary biliary cirrhosis and similar disorders may be accompanied by marked hypercholesterolemia that results from an accumulation of lipoprotein-X. Clinical stigmata include xanthomata striata palmare that may appear when the serum cholesterol concentration is 1400 mg/dL or higher.
    12. Xanthomata striata palmare
    13. Xanthomata appear on the extremities as well. Marked elevations in lipoprotein X has been associated with the hyperviscosity syndrome, but no clear association with coronary heart disease (CHD) has been established.
    14. Nephrotic Syndrome Marked hyperlipidemia can occur in the nephrotic syndrome due primarily to high serum total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentrations. Increased hepatic production of lipoproteins, induced by part by the fall in plasma oncotic pressure is the major abnormality, but diminished lipid catabolism may play a contributory role.
    15. Chronic Renal Failure Dyslipidemia is less prominent in chronic renal failure, but hypertriglyceridemia occurs in 30 to 50 percent of cases. Chronic renal failure
    16. Hypothyroidism Hypothyroidism is frequently associated with and is a common cause of hyperlipidemia. This relationship was illustrated in a study of patients with primary hypothyroidism. Hypercholesterolemia was present in 56 percent, hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia in 34 percent, and hypertriglyceridemia in 1.5 percent; only 8.5 percent had a normal lipid profile.
    17. Reversal of the hypothyroidism with thyroid hormone replacement leads to correction of hyperlipidemia. Serum TSH should be measured in all patients with dyslipidemia.
    18. Smoking Smoking modestly lowers the serum HDL cholesterol concentrations and may induce insulin resistance. These effects are reversible within one to two months after smoking cessation.
    19. Obesity Obesity is associated with a number of deleterious changes in lipid metabolism, including high serum concentrations of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, VLDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, and a reduction in serum HDL cholesterol concentration of about 5 percent. Loss of body fat can reverse the hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia.
    20. Anorexia nervosa &#226; Hypercholesterolemia has long been known to be associated with anorexia nervosa. Typically total cholesterol and LDL are elevated; HDL may be high also. With refeeding, cholesterol levels return to baseline. Other forms of malnutrition are not usually associated with high cholesterol. However, until recently the underlying mechanism has not been clearly delineated
    21. Clinical Presentation &#226; Dyslipidemia itself usually causes no symptoms but can lead to symptomatic vascular disease, including coronary artery disease (CAD) and peripheral arterial disease. &#226; High levels of TGs (&#62; 1000 mg/dL) can cause acute pancreatitis. &#226; High levels of LDL can cause eyelid xanthelasmas; arcus corneae; and tendinous xanthomas at the Achilles, elbow, and knee tendons and over metacarpophalangeal joints.
    22. &#226; Patients with severe elevations of TGs can have eruptive xanthomas over the trunk, back, elbows, buttocks, knees, hands, and feet. &#226; Extremely high lipid levels also give a lactescent (milky) appearance to blood plasma.
    23. Eyelid xanthelasmas
    24. Arcus corneae
    25. Tendinous xanthomas
    26. Tendinous xanthoma
    27. &#226; Serum lipid profile (measured total cholesterol, TG, and HDL cholesterol and calculated LDL cholesterol and VLDL) &#226; Tests for secondary causes of dyslipidemia&#226; including measurements of fasting glucose, liver enzymes, creatinine, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and urinary protein&#226;should be done in most patients with newly diagnosed dyslipidemia. Diagnosis
    28. Treatment &#226; Treatment of the cause. &#226; Lifestyle changes (eg, exercise, dietary modification) &#226; For high LDL cholesterol, statins, sometimes bile acid sequestrants. &#226; For high TG or low HDL cholesterol, niacin , fibrates, and sometimes other measures.

<item><title>Causes of Malnutrition </title><link>https://www.friendbookmark.com/videos/1145/causes-of-malnutrition</link><description>
    1. Causes and Disease of Malnutrition
    2. Poor Diet - One of the most common causes of malnutrition is the lack of nutritious and balanced diet. -Not having enough of the healthy foods we need each day, or consuming too many types of food and drink.
    3. Illness and Medical Conditions Illness and medical conditions can have a great impact on one&#226;s nutrition. Digestive disorders and stomach conditions may upset the ability to digest food and absorb the necessary nutrients that may help in the growth and development of the body. Taking lot&#226;s of medicine may affect the body&#226;s capacity to break down nutrients.
    4. Mental Health Problems Anorexia Nervosa Is an eating disorder and metabolic condition that results in excessive weight-loss and extreme thinness caused by self- starvation. Bulimia Is a psychological eating disorder in which you&#226;ve consuming a large quantity of foods in one sitting.
    5. Physical Factor Persons with disability or impairment have difficulty choosing the right kind of food. Poor dental hygiene, badly fitting dentures, and painful gums may prevent people from eating properly which may result in inadequacy of the required nutrients.
    6. Protein Energy Malnutrition - Protein serves as the building block of the body. It helps maintaining, developing, and repairing body tissues. It also helps in providing energy for the body. - if the consumption of protein is insufficient, protein energy malnutrition (PEM) occurs. Protein Energy Malnutrition causes diseases such as marasmus, and kwashiorkor. - Protein hastes the creation of hormones. These hormones helps controlling bodily functions. It is also responsible in forming antibodies which prevent infectious, illness and disease. Protein helps in destroying bacteria and viruses.
    7. Marasmus - Occurs when there is a sever deficiency of essential nutrients such as protein and carbohydrates. It is characterized by loss of muscle mass and body fat, mental and intellectual impairment, and stunted growth.
    8. Kwashiorkor - It is also called wet protein energy malnutrition. It is primarily characterized by fluid retention or swelling of the stomach. Children suffering from kwashiorkor often develop of bulging belly and extremely thin arms and legs. Their immune system becomes weak and they show behavioural defect and mental retardation.
    9. Micro Nutrient Deficiencies Micronutrients are composed of vitamins and minerals which are needed by the body in small amounts to ensure normal metabolism as well as growth and development. Insufficient dosage of these nutrients in the body may lead to different kinds of micronutrient deficiencies.

    1. ANTIHYPERLIPIDEMIC AGENTS BY SWATHI KENCHA
    2. INTRODUCTION &#226; What is hyperlipidemia? &#226; A condition in which there are high levels of fat particles(lipids) deposited in the blood. &#226; Elevated plasma levels of lipids are deposited in the form of lipoproteins. Eg: lipids like cholesterol and triglycerides. &#226; These lipids can deposit in blood vessel walls and restrict blood flow. &#226; This creates a risk of heart attack &#38; stroke.
    3. CAUSES OF HYPERLIPIDEMIAS &#226; Diet &#38; Hereditary factors &#226; Hypothyroidism &#226; Nephrotic syndrome &#226; Anorexia nervosa &#226; Systemic lupus erythematousus &#226; Obesity,Alcohol consumption &#38; smoking &#226; Diabetes &#226; Pregnancy &#226; Obstructive liver disease, Acute hepatitis
    4. SYMPTOMS OF HYPERLIPIDMIA
    5. ANTIHYPERLIPIDEMICS &#226; The clinically important lipoproteins are HDL,LDL and VLDL . &#226; Antihyperlipidemics are the drugs used to reduce the deposited levels of cholesterol and other lipoproteins from the blood plasma .
    6. CLASSIFICATION &#226; HMG CoA Inhibitors &#226; Lovastatin,Atorvastatin &#226; Fibrates &#226; Clofibrate,Fenofibrate &#226; Bile acid sequesterants &#226; Cholestyramine,colestipol &#226; LDL Oxidation inhibitors &#226;Probucol &#226; Pyridine derivatives &#226;Nicotinamide,Nicotinic acid &#226; Cholesterol absorption inhibitors &#226;Ezetimibe &#226; Miscellaneous &#226;&#206;-sitosterol,Dextrothyroxine
    7. LOVASTATIN Uses:HMG CoA reductase inhibitor Side effects &#226; Headache,Myositis,nausea,sleep disturbance, contraindications in pregnancy
    8. ATORVASTATIN Uses:HMG CoA reductase inhibitor It prevents ischemia by inhibiting both deposition of lipids and decreases inflammation
    9. CLOFIBRATE Uses:Reduces VLDL To treat hyperlipoproteinemia.
    10. FENOFIBRATE Uses:Reduces the fatty substances like Cholesterol and VLDL Increases the amounts of HDL
    11. CHOLESTYRAMINE Uses: To treat type II a hyperlipoproteinemia.
    12. COLESTIPOL Uses:Reduces cholesterol levels To treat Type II hyperlipoproteinemias.
    13. PROBUCOL Uses:It is used to treat high cholesterol levels in the blood Anticholesteremic drug with antioxidant and anti- inflammatory properties.
    14. Nicotinamide &#38; Nicotinic acid Uses:In high doses reduces low density lipoprotein,cholesterol and increases the amount of HDL in blood
    15. EZETIMIBE Uses:It inhibits the cholesterol absorption in the body So it reduces the amount of cholesterol
    16. &#206;-Sitosterol &#38; Dextrothyroxine Uses:Dextrothyroxine is a thyroid hormone having antihyperlipidemic activity. &#206;-Sitosterol reduces cholesterol levels
    17. MECHANISMS &#226; Lovastatin regulates cholesterol synthesis in the liver by inhibiting microsomal reduction of 3-hydroxy 3-methyl glutaryl CoA (HMG Co A) catalyzed by HMGCoA reductase. &#226; Colestyramine &#38; Colestepol &#226; The reduction in the amounts of reabsorbed bile acids results in increased catabolism of cholesterol in bile acids in the liver.Then it decreases concentration of bile acids.
    18. &#226; Fibrates inhibit triglyceride synthesis ,reduces VLDL release into circulation.This drug increases lipoprotein lipase activity,which catabolises the chylomicrons and VLDL.
    19. &#226; Probucol lowers the levels of cholesterol in the blood by increasing the rate of LDL catabolism.Probucol is a powerful antioxidant which inhibits the oxidation of cholesterol. &#226; Nicotinic acid and Nicotinamide inhibits a hormone- sensitive lipase in adipose tissue which reduces the breakdown of triglycerides to free fatty acids,and the transport of free fatty acids to the liver. &#226; Ezetimibe reduces blood cholesterol by inhibiting the absorption of cholesterol by the small intestine.

<item><title>Side Effects of Anorexia Nervosa on Teenagers </title><link>https://www.friendbookmark.com/videos/1142/side-effects-of-anorexia-nervosa-on-teenagers</link><description>Anorexia is a disastrous way to start out in life as it will affect all aspects of the young person&#226;s future - physical, psychological and social. If your adolescent son or daughter is suffering from anorexia, consult Ellern Mede Eating Disorder Services today. 


    1. SIDE EFFECTS OF ANOREXIA NERVOSA ON TEENAGERS
    2. Starvation, over-exercising and an unhealthy attitude towards body image will, as you can imagine, have numerous side effects on younger anorexics. If your teenage son or daughter is suffering from anorexia, you must seek eating disorder treatment in London immediately to prevent the complications and life-long health problems which could arise from this eating disorder.
    3. Although being young means the sufferers are still growing, a false perception of their body image will force them to lose weight even if they are already severely underweight. This is especially tragic for the young. During adolescence, the body needs plenty of food to grow and reach adulthood, but anorexics will experience unnatural side effects during this phase of development. Here are some of the most common side effects of anorexia on young adults:
    4. Women will not gain a normal and regular menstrual cycle, which could lead to serious problems later in life regarding pregnancy. There can also be a loss of brain tissue and muscle tissue. Young people typically have the energy to be active, taking up sports and outdoor activities. That said, an energetic lifestyle does not fit in with deteriorating muscles. Not only that, but the brain is constantly being tested during school, through exams and homework. Anorexia causes brain tissue to atrophy, so a normal education will prove difficult, not to forget the serious long-term complications arising from failure at school.
    5. All sufferers of anorexia will experience over-exhaustion as the body simply won&#226;t be able to function properly without enough food. It is like trying to run a car without any gas; it will just stop. As the body shuts down, the anorexic will experience lethargy and drowsiness. Day to day activities will become a chore and working - whether at school or in a job - will become ever more difficult. Low blood pressure is another side effect of the disorder from undernourishment and the ensuing lack of sleep, both causing the body to be in a state of shock. Concentration is severely affected, due to the mind being overcome with tiredness and hunger.
    6. Other physical side effects can be the sign of deeper internal complications. Brittle yellow nails are a sign of kidney problems brought about by dehydration. And a lack of essential minerals such as sodium and potassium bring rise to heart problems. Physical appearance will also deteriorate. Although the individual thinks they are working towards a &#226;perfect&#226; body by losing weight, the reality is they are creating a frail and unhealthy body. Hair that falls out, pallid skin, discoloured nails and swelling arms and legs are some obvious side effects to name a few. Anorexics will work at hiding these physical side effects, but the psychological complications and internal side effects are long-lasting without any treatment.
    7. Social problems can also occur, as sufferers tend to judge others negatively who do not share the same distorted view of body image. This can lead to social exclusion resulting in a deeper depression. Anorexia is a disastrous way to start out in life as it will affect all aspects of the young person&#226;s future - physical, psychological and social. If your adolescent son or daughter is suffering from anorexia, consult Ellern Mede Eating Disorder Services today. As one of the UK&#226;s leading providers of intensive outpatient and inpatient eating disorder treatment for young people, they will be able to help your child overcome the negative impact of anorexia and improve their quality of life.

    1. LONG TERM HEALTH CONSEQUENCES OF ANOREXIA NERVOSA
    2. WHATIS ANOREXIA NERVOSA? Anorexia Nervosa is the most serious eating disorder in the world and has a higher death rate than any mental illness. Individuals suffering from anorexia often think they are fat when they are slim. But whether that is the reason or not, a person with this condition refuses to eat or restricts what they eat to such an extent they put themselves in danger. It is often (but not always) linked to a deliberate and conscious will to be as thin as possible without regard to their health.

    2. Asthma &#226; Asthmatics with mild&#226;moderate disease usually have normal lungs when well controlled. &#226; Maintenance therapy will not require changing when they are well as as inhaled corticosteroids from used in asthma therapy have not been shown to be immunosuppressant and should be continued. &#226; BTS guidelines on provision of a rescue pack for patients with a good understanding of their personalised asthma action plan may be sensible in the current health climate. Issue a peak flow meter so they can monitor at home. Rescue packs should be issued as acute and SHOULD NOT be on repeat as each exacerbation requires a review. &#226; Acute exacerbations of asthma should be treated in the normal way, including oral steroids. www.belmatt.co.uk. Prepared by Aneela Tehseen and Jeshni Amblum-Alm&#195;r
    3. Acute asthma vs. COVID-19 &#226; Differentiating an acute exacerbation of asthma from COVID-19 may be difficult. Pragmatically, fever and change of taste/smell are unusual in asthma. Decide (as best you can) which is more likely. If COVID-19 suspected, remember: &#226; Oral steroids are NOT a treatment for COVID-19. In practice, this means that if an asthmatic has mild COVID symptoms but with no significant asthma symptoms, we should not give prophylactic oral steroids. &#226; However, if typical asthma exacerbation features are dominant (wheeze/bronchospasm), oral steroids should be used as per asthma guidelines. Use shortest duration. &#226; Twice as much steroids when ill under the guidance of medical practitioner. www.belmatt.co.uk. Prepared by Aneela Tehseen and Jeshni Amblum-Alm&#195;r
    4. ASTHMA www.belmatt.co.uk. Prepared by Aneela Tehseen and Jeshni Amblum-Alm&#195;r Concern Management Wheeze/Bronchospasm But NO fever Treat as an exacerbation. Possible COVID-19 ie SOB/Cough/fever - Fever: Paracetamol &#38; oral fluids - Possible Secondary Bacterial Pneumonia: As per severity of symptoms choose: Moderate: Amoxicillin 500mg TDS+ Clarithromycin 500mg BD for 7 days OR Doxycycline 200mg stat and then 100mg OD for 6 days Moderately severe: Co-Amoxiclav 625mg TDS + Clarithromycin 500mg BD for 7 days OR Azithromycin 500mg OD for 5/7 Days (If no other option). - Wheezing/SOB: High dose of SABA (4-8 puffs via large volume spacer). Do not introduce nebules, only to be used if patient previously using nebules.
    5. COPD &#226; There is NO evidence for &#226;just in case antibiotics&#226; OR using prophylactic antibiotics. &#226; Treat apparent exacerbations as you normally would, irrespective of possible organism, which means: &#226; Use antibiotics if suspected bacterial infective exacerbations (more sputum/change in sputum colour). &#226; Consider oral steroids for increased breathlessness: but first check that symptoms can&#226;t be managed with increasing bronchodilators, breathing exercises, pacing. Have a lower threshold to use steroids in those with asthma&#226;COPD overlap or previous raised eosinophils as they are likely to get greater benefits. Do not use if patient has a fever. If using, offer 30mg prednisolone for 5 days. &#226; Remember, anxiety can also drive breathlessness/tachycardia: a phone/video consultation can help reassure people. www.belmatt.co.uk. Prepared by Aneela Tehseen and Jeshni Amblum-Alm&#195;r
    6. If oxygen sats are available, a significant change from baseline is: www.belmatt.co.uk. Prepared by Aneela Tehseen and Jeshni Amblum-Alm&#195;r Mild: &#60; 2% below baseline Moderate: 3&#226; 4% below baseline sats Severe: &#226;5% below baseline sats
    7. www.belmatt.co.uk. Prepared by Aneela Tehseen and Jeshni Amblum-Alm&#195;r COPD Worsening SOB But No Fever - Use high dose SABA (4-8 puffs via large volume spacer). Do not introduce nebules, however, if patient has already got nebules may step up the dose. - Oral steroids only to be considered if 1. Mixed COPD+ Asthma 2. COPD with h/o high Eosinophil &#226;0.3 COPD Increase sputum amount/ Sputum discolouration BUT No chest pain No fever No loss of Activity of Daily Living (ADL) Treat as infective COPD Exacerbation Reminder (No oral steroids to be used)
    8. COPD : POSSIBLE COVID 19 Possible COVID-19 with SOB/New continuous cough/ fever/ Chest tightness or pain/ Decline in ADL/Lethargy www.belmatt.co.uk. Prepared by Aneela Tehseen and Jeshni Amblum-Alm&#195;r - Fever: Paracetamol and oral fluids. - Secondary bacterial Pneumonia As per severity of symptoms choose: Moderate: Amoxicillin 500mg TDS+ Clarithromycin 500mg BD for 7 days OR Doxycycline 200mg stat and then 100mg OD for 6 days AND: Treat SOB using SABA high dose via large volume spacer. Patient may use nebules if has got them at home. Moderately severe: Co-Amoxiclav 625mg TDS + Clarithromycin 500mg BD for 7 days OR Azithromycin 500mg OD for 5/7 Days (If no other option). Please note this group may be appropriate for COVID-HOT hub assessment and management AND - Treat SOB using SABA high dose via large volume spacer. Patient may use nebules if has got them at home.
    9. Interstitial Lung Disease www.belmatt.co.uk. Prepared by Aneela Tehseen and Jeshni Amblum-Alm&#195;r - Currently under Shielding (12 weeks) - Will not do well with intubation/ mechanical ventilation - Likely to become hypoxic very quickly - Mostly have advanced care plan in place If has developed symptoms of possible COVID-19 &#226; - Admission will be guided by deterioration of SpO2 from baseline (up to 2% decline is mild, 2-4% is moderate and &#226;5% decline from baseline is severe deterioration) - Consult Advanced care plan for management decisions - Antifibrotic Biologics can be paused for up to 8 weeks - Do not stop Long term Oral Steroids - DMARDs to be paused and re-initiated 2 weeks after recovery. - Elongate the shielding time (Beyond 12 weeks)
    10. Obstructive Sleep Apnea www.belmatt.co.uk. Prepared by Aneela Tehseen and Jeshni Amblum-Alm&#195;r Have normal Lung function Should they develop COVID-19 symptoms (A new continuous cough/fever/chest tightness/SOB/lethargy/decline in ADL) follow the decision tree as for all members of public Should these patient need hospitalisation, advise to take CPAP machine with them to use at hospital
    11. Bronchietasis Development of discoloured purulent sputum But No chest pain No fever No loss of Activity of Daily Living (ADL) Treat as an exacerbation with standard dose Amoxicillin or Doxycycline for 10-14 days Do not collect sputum samples If non-respondent to the above may consider Ciprofloxacin but seek specialist advice.

    2. INTRODUCTION The world today grapples with the health crisis caused by the novel COVID-19. Unfortunately, the Philippines, which was spared from the previous epidemics like Ebola and SARS, is now facing this major obstacle. The local government units of the country responded by issuing guidelines to mitigate the spread of infection. This multi- sectoral plan aims to ensure prevention of COVID-19 spread into the country, preparedness and readiness for a timely, consistent and coordinated response in the event of COVID-19 outbreak.
    3. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM This study determines the preparedness and awareness amid the COVID- 19 Pandemic in Local Government Unit (LGU) Cagayan de Oro City. The findings of the study serves as basis for a proposed recommendation. Furthermore, it seeks to answer the following questions: 1. What is the profile of the respondents in terms of: &#226; age; &#226; gender; &#226; civil status; &#226; educational level; and &#226; job status?
    4. 2. Research question 2: As perceived by the respondents, how effective the preparation and awareness of Local Government (LGU) about COVID-19 Pandemic in terms of: &#226; knowledge; &#226; preparedness; &#226; information update; and &#226; preventive measures? 3.

In information update, LGU implements drafted protocol for returning residents was the highest weighted mean with 3.73 interpreted as highly prepared. Lastly, as to preventive measures, LGU together with the Brgy. Officials implements continuous mandatory quarantine for 14 days especially to those who are returning back from other country and city was the highest weighted mean with 3.77 interpreted as highly prepared.
    13. RECOMMENDATION 1. The government must consider extending the enhance community quarantine beyond April 13, 2020. As shown above there had been gains with the restrictions put in place averting an Iran-like scenario. These gains should be sustained until such time that the country has mass tested and isolated infective cases. 2. Corollary to the need to extend the ECQ, the national government must scale up and proactively do testing for Covid-19, isolate infective patients in health care facilities and hospitals, and improve contact tracing such that cases are identified and isolated sooner. Under this scenario, if Covid-19 cases are identified and isolated within 12 days of contracting the virus, then even with the less optimistic transmission rate of 0.08, the effect is an immediate control of the spread of Covid-19.
    14. 3. As a consequence of a push to mass testing, human and material resources need to be increased to support our already burdened national health system. The special powers of the President provided in Republic Act No. 11469 could muster these additional resources. These additional resources include but are not limited to more testing kits, incentives and provision for front liners including proper personal protective equipment, and dissemination of PhilHealth&#226;s coverage for testing and hospitalization to encourage low-income households to seek medical attention. 4. Aside from the medical aspect of the pandemic, the economic needs of those whose incomes are adversely impacted should be provided by the national government especially among the poor. This is to ensure that the extension of the ECQ will not cause social unrest. The provision of cash and relief goods both by the national and local governments should be continued and should reflect the size of the household. Further, monitoring mechanisms should be put in place to ensure that the assistance is delivered to intended beneficiaries.
    15. 5. Prospectively, the national government should invest more resources in institutions such as the University of the Philippines, which can do evidence- based research to improve policy and program formulation and evaluation. These researches should underpin national plans to bolster resilience of national institutions, e.g. distance education and blended learning in schools, telecommuting, telehealth, and other similar initiatives.

    3. Putting mitigation into practice is based on: &#226; Emphasizing individual responsibility for taking recommended personal-level actions &#226; Empowering businesses, schools, and community organizations to take recommended actions, particularly in ways that protect persons at increased risk of severe illness &#226; Focusing on settings that provide critical infrastructure or services to individuals at increased risk of severe illness &#226; Minimizing disruptions to daily life to the extent possible 9/6/2020 Covid19 risk mitigate/Tengku Hanidza 3
    4. Community Mitigation Community mitigation activities are actions that people and communities can take to slow the spread of infectious diseases, including COVID-19.

    9. Covid-19 spread in confined spaces: 1 member spread to others in the choir group In a study yesterday in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), researchers describe a COVID-19 super-spreading event at a Washington state choir practice in March, which was attended by a symptomatic index patient and produced an attack rate of 53.3% to 86.7%. &#34;The 2.5-hour singing practice provided several opportunities for droplet and fomite transmission, including members sitting close to one another, sharing snacks, and stacking chairs at the end of the practice,&#34; the authors, from Skagit County Public Health, said. &#34;The act of singing, itself, might have contributed to transmission through emission of aerosols, which is affected by loudness of vocalization.&#34; (L. Hamner et al. Morb. Mortal Wkly. Rep. 69, 606&#226;610; 2020).9/6/2020 Covid19 risk mitigate/Tengku Hanidza 9
    10. Covid-19 spread in confined spaces: A combination of social distancing and mouth covering will break the COVID chain. Here&#226;s why&#226; 9/6/2020 Covid19 risk mitigate/Tengku Hanidza 10
    11. (1) A human cough: saliva droplet&#226;s disease-carrier particles cannot travel more than 2 m in space at approximately zero wind speed. A human cough: mechanisms of airborne saliva droplet&#226;s transport, breakup, dispersion, and evaporation. This figure shows different cloud kinematics (elongation and rotation) depending on the wind shearing force; the gravitational or settling forces; and the evaporation rates. (2) A human cough: saliva droplet&#226;s disease-carrier particles may travel in the air medium to unexpected considerable distances depending on the environmental conditions. 9/6/2020 Covid19 risk mitigate/Tengku Hanidza 11
    12. 9/6/2020 Covid19 risk mitigate/Tengku Hanidza 12
    13. Rather than falling to the ground, the microdroplets float in the air and drift about. The researchers estimate that a single cough or sneeze can produce 100,000 microdroplets 9/6/2020 Covid19 risk mitigate/Tengku Hanidza 13
    14. Created by Purdue University in 2014 based on the related SARS virus A cough can infect up to ten surrounding people Saliva droplets from one cough cause an initial plume of germs, which then spread throughout the plane in the air. Will COVID-19 fits into this scenario? 9/6/2020 Covid19 risk mitigate/Tengku Hanidza 14
    15. 9/6/2020 Covid19 risk mitigate/Tengku Hanidza 15
    16. The rate of particle emission during normal human speech is positively correlated with the loudness (amplitude) of vocalization, ranging from approximately 1 to 50 particles per second (0.06 to 3 particles per cm3) for low to high amplitudes, regardless of the language spoken (English, Spanish, Mandarin, or Arabic). This findings (2019) help to explain the superspreading events during COVID-19 pandemic: &#226; A choir practice in a church in Mount Vernon, Washington &#226; 80 infections tied to live music venues in Osaka, Japan &#226; 65 cases resulting from Zumba classes in South Korea 9/6/2020 Covid19 risk mitigate/Tengku Hanidza 16

Michael Ryan, executive director of the World Health Organization&#39;s (WHO) emergencies program, expressed his concerns on Monday over the lifting of certain lockdown conditions that he reckons may lead to a resurgence of coronavirus cases. &#34;Shutting your eyes and trying to drive through this blind is about as silly an equation as I&#39;ve seen. &#34;And I&#39;m really concerned that certain countries are setting themselves up for some seriously blind driving over the next few months,&#34; he added. His comments came as Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK relaxed restrictions in a bid to revive their almost stagnant economies. Ryan praised Germany and South Korea for putting in place robust measures that would be able to trace and stop virus clusters before they get out of control. 9/6/2020 Covid19 risk mitigate/Tengku Hanidza 25

    29. May 11, 2020, 10:02 PM +08 (Reuters) SEOUL - South Korean officials scrambled on Monday to contain a new coronavirus outbreak, searching for thousands of people who may have been infected in a cluster of cases linked to nightclubs and bars in the capital Seoul. The education ministry put off the reopening of high schools, which was scheduled to begin on Wednesday, by one week in light of the new outbreak. In less than a week since a 29-year-old man was confirmed infected on Wednesday -- the first to be found linked to the infections in Itaewon, a Seoul neighborhood known for its nightlife -- at least 86 visitors of the nightclubs there had tested positive as of Monday. 9/6/2020 Covid19 risk mitigate/Tengku Hanidza 29

    32. &#226; Brazil has the highest rate of transmission (R0 of 2&#194;81). Large cities such as S&#195;o Paulo and Rio de Janeiro are the main hotspots. &#226; The biggest threat to Brazil&#39;s COVID-19 response is its president, Jair Bolsonaro. &#226; He openly flouting and discouraging physical distancing and lockdown brought in by state governors and city mayors. &#226; The president compared COVID-19 to a &#226;little cold&#226;, accused the media of spreading &#226;hysteria&#226;, and encouraged people to &#226;go back to normality&#226;. &#226; President Bolsonaro continues to dismiss the health crisis, saying the economic impacts will be far worse to what he&#39;s compared to a &#34;little flu.&#34; Data May 17 9/6/2020 32

WHO warns there could be a second peak, not a second wave: During a media briefing, Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of WHO&#226;s health emergencies program, said the world is &#226;right in the middle of the first wave, globally.&#34; Ryan warned that a second peak or wave could come during the normal influenza season, &#226;which will greatly complicate things for disease control.&#226; Americans crowd public places as Covid-19 cases rise in some states: Crowds packed beaches in Florida, Maryland, Georgia, Virginia and Indiana over the Memorial Day weekend &#226; many venturing out without masks and others failing to keep their distance even as officials highlighted the continued importance of both in order to prevent another surge of infections. 9/6/2020 Covid19 risk mitigate/Tengku Hanidza 34
    35. Sweden&#226;s Approach to COVID-19: No lockdown, advocate Herd Immunity. Failure or success? 9/6/2020 Covid19 risk mitigate/Tengku Hanidza 35 Anders Tegnell, the country&#226;s state epidemiologist, told UK- based daily Financial Times last month that Sweden expects 40% of people in the capital Stockholm to be immune to COVID-19 by the end of May. In the autumn there will be a second wave. Sweden will have a high level of immunity and the number of cases will probably be quite low,&#226; . Data compiled by the Sweden&#226;s Public Health Agency, as of May 20, only 7.3% of blood samples collected from people in Stockholm had antibodies to SARS-CoV-2. At least 70% to 90% of a population needs to be immune to a virus to reach herd immunity. Sweden&#226;s COVID-19 mortality rate tops all Nordic countries and is also among the highest in the world. Stockholm will not reach this milestone in May. Earlier this month, Tegnell admitted he is not sure Sweden&#39;s strategy was the right call. &#34;I&#39;m not convinced at all &#226; we are constantly thinking about this,&#34; he told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet.

    1. UPDATES ON COVID -19 MONISHA J YADAV GUIDANCE : TEAM B
    2. CORONAVIRUS - FAMILY : Coronaviridae - It is spherical particle with crown like projection - Average diameter &#226; 125nm - Viral envelope consists of lipid bilayer with anchored proteins - Nucleocapsid &#226; N protein and positive sense single stranded RNA genome
    3. REPLICATION CYCLE 1. ENTRY &#226; S protein + ACE2 2. TRANSLATION : virus particle uncoated and attaches to ribosome  Host ribosome translates open reading frames ORF1a and ORF1b into polyproteins pp1a and pp1b .  Polyproteins are cleaved by PROTEASES into 16 nonstructural proteins
    4. - Includes RNA dependent RNA polymerase , RNA helicase - Number of nsp&#226;s coalesce to form replicase transcriptase complex (RTC) - RdRp mediates replication of viral genome 3. TRANSCRIPTION &#226; genomic RNA to mRNAs . - In host endoplasmic reticulum RNA translation to structural proteins happen. - In Golgi apparatus assembly of virions happen and forms secretory vesicles - Progeny virus are released by exocytosis .
    5. PATHOGENESIS - Viral antigens presented to APC - Stimulates cellular and humoral immunity - IgM and IgG antibodies are formed . They are S and N protein specific . - CD4 and CD8 T cells are activated . - Overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines - IL-6 , IL-1&#206;, Tumour necrosis factor : CYTOKINE STORM
    6. THREE PHASES - STAGE 1 : asymptomatic state - Nasal cavity epithelial cells are infected - Virus starts multiplying and propagating down - Innate immunity acts - Most infectious period - Nasal swabs detect virus - Mason rj et all , national jewishealth , USA
    7. STAGE 2 - Upper airway and conducting airway response - Epithelial cells are infected - Beta and lamba interferons produced - CXCL 10 &#226; interferon gamma induced protein 10 is a disease marker . - Disease will be mild . Symptomatic therapy is advised
    8. STAGE 3 - 20% infected patients progress . - Viral particles infect type 2 cells of alveoli - Self replicating pulmonary toxin is released - Causes diffuse alveolar damage with fibrin rich hyaline membrane and multinucleated giant cells - Severe scarring and fibrosis - Wound healing is also impaired - Leads to severe ARDS .
    9. CYTOKINE STORM - Leads to vascular hyperpermeability - Defective procoagulant &#226; anticoagulant balance - Leads to formation of thrombin - Thrombin activates protease activated receptor 1 on platelets and leads to aggregation and microthrombosis
