Car and motorcycle drivers frequently experience neck pain, which may have an impact on their quality of life and productivity at work. Understanding the prevalence of neck pain in this population and identifying effective interventions was essential for developing targeted healthcare strategies. The purpose of this review was to determine the prevalence of neck pain among car and motorcycle drivers and assess the effectiveness of primary, secondary, and tertiary care interventions in managing and preventing this health issue. A comprehensive literature search was conducted to gather relevant studies on neck pain prevalence and interventions among drivers. The collected data was analysed and synthesised to provide an in-depth understanding of the issue. The result of this review reveals a significant prevalence of neck pain among car and motorcycle drivers, highlighting the need for targeted interventions. Primary, secondary, and tertiary care strategies are essential in addressing neck pain in this population. Primary care interventions focus on preventing the onset of neck pain, while secondary care aims to manage existing symptoms and prevent their worsening. Tertiary care interventions involve rehabilitation and long-term management of chronic neck pain. The present review concluded that a multi-faceted approach, encompassing primary, secondary, and tertiary care interventions, is necessary to prevent and manage neck pain in drivers. However, the current evidence base has limitations, and further research is required to enhance our understanding of effective interventions for this population.
Objective: To review the current diagnostic methodology available for the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by new Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Method: This review critically analyses the merits and limitations of the recent COVID-19 diagnostics being used for disease prophylaxis and its mitigation. Multiple research papers from 2019-2022 were consulted. Many novel diagnostics have been included, such as LAMP, CRISPR, AI and other POC techniques, along with conventional RT-PCR and CT -SCAN. These have been compared based on principle, protocol, sensitivity, specificity, cost-effectiveness and their pros and cons. Findings: Mass Spectrometry and Loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) were seen to be the most sensitive and specific. They were also very rapid. However, Mass Spectrometry is expensive, as it requires sophisticated instrumentation. LAMP on the other hand, does not require expensive machinery, and thus is a better choice. Novelty: This review has covered most of the techniques, which were not earlier covered in reviews. We have compiled all data in one manuscript for the ease of readers. We have also talked about the diagnostic protocols made in India and compared their sensitivities and specificities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
