Introduction: The COVID-19 epidemic began in in China in December 2019 and has spread around the world. The symptoms and routes of transmission are still poorly understood by the scientific community and the rest of the world. The Phase 1 of the COVID-19 epidemic in Cameroon was during the period from March-June 2020. Several rumors and ideas have emerged within the population regarding the different aspects of the pandemic.

INTRODUCTION: Prostate Cancer (CaP) rarely produces symptoms at the beginning of disease progression since most tumors originate on the periphery of the gland. To improve early diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer, the Prostate Imaging and Reporting and Data System, PI-RADS, was created. The system is beneficial in indicating probability and identifying where the biopsy will be directed if necessary, the increasing the chance that the sample will contain tissue with high suspicion of cancer.

Head & neck cancer in Nepal was increasing every year. Exact cancer incidence, death and relevant community based details of cancer in Nepal is unknown to address the need of community based epidemiological study was initiated community based cancer research in 15 districts of four state of Nepal. In this study we focus to determine the current status and trend of head & neck cancer.

Neurocysticercosis, the infection caused by the larval form of the tapeworm Taeniasolium, is the most common parasitic disease of the central nervous system and the most common cause of acquired epilepsy worldwide.Visual loss in NCC is a serious consequence and can result either from direct ocular involvement or secondary to CNS involvement. Here we report a case of neurocysticercosis with bilateral papilledema.

Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is one of the major causes of severe vision impairment and blindness. The prevalence of retinal artery or vein occlusion in the general population increases with age. ADPKD patients are at risk for developing central retinal vascular occlusions at a younger age. Here we report a case of ADPKD with central retinal vein occlusion.

Changes of microbial community in the petroleum-contaminated area may have a critical effect on the process of bioremediation. In the study, high-throughput sequencing was used to study the stucture of microbial community in the petroleum-contaminated area of Xiuying port, Haikou. In results, there showed differences in microbial communities between seawater and sediment at the same site. Base on the metagemone analysis, both bacteria and archaea were frequentuly found in seawater, whereas bacteria was the dominant microorganism in sediment.

University faculty are “frontliners” too and vulnerable to feel stressed and overwhelmed this COVID19 pandemic. This study investigated on the impact of COVID19 pandemic on work-related stress of private university faculty. The study confirmed both negative and positive impact of COVID19 on work-related stress among faculty. On the adverse side, novel corona virus crisis resulted to extra burden on role overload, feeling of powerlessness and poor peer relations stress level of the faculty.

Background: Severe hyponatremia is rare when carbamezapine is used as a monotherapy. It acts by inappropriate anti-diuretic secretion. Here we present a case of female with severe asymptomatic hyponatremia. Case report: A 61 year female which was a known case of trigeminal neuralgia and hypertension presented to opd for her routine checkup. She was taking tab carbamezapine 300mg TDS, temisartan 40 mg and amlodipine 5 mg once a day. Her blood pressure was 126/82 mm of Hg, pulse rate was 72 bpm. Her systemic investigation was normal.

Introduction: Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a common causative agent of atypical pneumonia, the main characteristic of which is the discrepancy between clinical data and radiological findings. Diagnostic confirmation is achieved by detecting the organism through culture or PCR, or by detecting IgG and IgM antibodies. Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a clinical syndrome that generally manifests with hemoptysis, anemia, and the presence of infiltrates on chest x-ray.

Many food recovery agencies depend on donated food, and its safety is critical for the health of vulnerable populations. A food safety curriculum was developed for agency volunteers of the Munshigong, Gazaria District. Examples of topics in the curriculum included: personal hygiene, food storage, transporting food safely, and HACCP. Food Safety Knowledge Pre- and Posttests (20 questions) were identical, and validity and reliability were established prior to use. Paired t-tests were performed to determine the effectiveness of the curriculum (n=190).
