Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV- 2), a novel virus that causes COVID-19 infection, has recently emerged and caused a deadly pandemic. Studies have shown that this virus causes worse outcomes and a higher mortality rate in older adults and those with comorbidities such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and chronic kidney dis…
In December 2019, an upheaval of serious intense respiratory condition coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) diseases happens in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China spread across the country and glob. On February 12, 2020, WHO authoritatively name the illness brought about by the novel coronavirus as Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).
During the COVID-19 pandemic, elderly individuals (with the chronological age of 65 years and above) are more susceptible to the SARS-CoV-2 infection complications due to altered immune system response and the higher rate of underlying comorbidities. A vast majority of mortalities are reported in elderly patients; thus, this study aimed to evaluate complications of COVID-19 in elderly patients
Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are important events in the history of this debilitating lung condition. Associated health care utilization and morbidity are high, and many patients require supplemental oxygen or ventilatory support. The last 2 decades have seen a substantial increase in our understanding of the best way to manage the respiratory failure suff…
Home oxygen therapy (HOT) is used to maintain health by addressing physiologic and metabolic requirements for children with chronic lung and pulmonary vascular diseases. Enabling a child to receive HOT also confers psychological advantages by allowing the child to remain within the family unit at home, reducing healthcare costs compared with hospitalization
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a global leading cause of morbidity and mortality, characterised by acute deterioration in symptoms. During these exacerbations, people are prone to developing alveolar hypoventilation, which may be partly caused by the administration of high inspired oxygen concentrations
Infant body weigth is used as a best indicator to measure infant growth and nutritional status. Body weight that not related on age, does not gain at least 500-600 gram for about three months, or over body weight, can be used to predict heath problem. Infant exercise stimulation is an effort to increase body weight so that infant gain on a normal pattern of weight. The objective of this study…
Infant growth assessment often focuses on “optimal” infant weights and lengths at specific ages, while de-emphasizing infant weight gain. Objective of this study was to examine infant growth patterns by measuring infant weight gain relative to birth weight
