Background: The purpose of this literature study is to find out which diagnostic tests are used to detect COVID-19. Method: Articles collected from 2020 using 3 databases (Pubmed, Science Direct and Google Scholar) obtained 14 articles that fit the inclusion criteria. Results: CT-Chest examination has a high sensitivity for diagnosis of COVID-19 compared to Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) in the initial phase. The IgG and IgM combination test has better utility and sensitivity compared to the IgG or IgM test alone. Conclusion: Examinations carried out to detect COVID-19 accurately and precisely must combine RT-PCR, CT-Chest and Rapid Test.
Background : Cancer pain is a multidimensional experience of cancer patients that can affect all dimensions of the quality of life of patients. The capacity of one's attention to a condition is very limited, therefore to reduce the capacity of the process of pain required distraction or input of a strong stimulus that is fun, one of them with a combination of art therapy and music therapy. Objective : This study aims to determine the effect of a combination of music therapy and art therapy to the level of pain in breast cancer patients. Methode : This study uses quasi-experimental design involving 34 respondents selected by purposive sampling. Results : The results of this study indicate that there are significant differences in the level of pain after treatment between groups who only received standard analgesic and groups who received a combination of music therapy and art therapy with p-value = 0.008 (p <0.05). Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the combination of music therapy and art therapy is more effective for reducing pain in people living with breast cancer than only standard analgesic. Conclusion : The results of this study can be one of the intervention recommendations to reduce pain in breast cancer sufferers and encourage independence in the autonomy role of nurses.Keywords: art therapy, pain, breast cancer

Conclusion: From this study it can be concluded that patients who have comorbid cardiovascular disease are more likely to experience severe symptoms when exposed to the corona virus.
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.
