To examine basic COVID-19 knowledge, coping style and exercise behavior among the public including government-provided medical cloud system treatment app based on the internet during the outbreak. Besides, to provide references for developing targeted strategies and measures on prevention and control of COVID-19. We conducted an online survey from 11th to 15th March 2020 via WeChat App using a designed questionnaire. As well as aim to diagnose COVID-19 earlier and to improve its treatment by applying medical technology, the “COVID-19 Intelligent Diagnosis and Treatment Assistant Program (nCapp)” based on the Internet of Things. Valid information was collected from 1893 responders (47.07% males and 52.93% females aged 18–80 years, with a mean age of 31.05 ± 9.86) in 20 provincial-level regions across China. From the responders, 92.90% and 34.81% were scaled pass and good and above scores for the knowledge about the novel coronavirus epidemic. 38.44% were scaled poor scores and only 5.40% were scaled good and above scores for appropriate behavior coping with the pandemic. Among the responders, 52.14% reported having active physical exercise in various places during the previous 1 week. For all the responders, appropriate behavior coping correlated positively with physical exercise ( p < 0.05); the daily consumed time for getting the epidemic-related information correlated positively with the score for cognition on the epidemic’s prevention measures ( r = 0.111, p < 0.01) and on general knowledge about the epidemic ( r = 0.087, p < 0.01). Targeted and multiple measures for guidance on the control of COVID-19 among the public should be promoted to improve the cognition on basic knowledge, behaviors and treatment.
Background
Each year around the globe, thousands of people are affected by Dengue fever. Dhaka is a very highly populated city. The rate of Dengue transmission in Dhaka is increased over the year. Authority takes numerous steps to reduce the Dengue transmission. Nevertheless, without proper Knowledge of folks on Dengue government may not alone prevent Dengue. In these circumstances, this paper will find out the Knowledge, Attitude and Practice among Dhaka people. This study will help policymakers access the KAP among the people and set goals to improve the Dengue prevention program.
Methods
This study determines 57 questions under three components. Preliminary data were collected from Dhaka dwellers throughout the internet survey using convenience sampling is a non-chance sampling method. The mean value of variables and Standard deviation (SD) is used to investigate the characteristics of the Socio-demographic profile of the sample. The data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation and regression method.
Results
The study finds that in Dhaka, urban people have much better KAP of Dengue than people who live in the countryside area. Between Male and Female at Dhaka, male does have much better KAP rather than women. Gender influences the practice level regarding DHF but does not affect the Knowledge and Attitude towards DHF. That means people's Income can change the knowledge level on DHF. People affected by Dengue fever at any stage of life have a better understanding of KAP than people do who are never affected by Dengue fever. People affected by Dengue fever at any stage of life have a better understanding of KAP than people do who are never affected by Dengue fever.
Conclusion
This study will help the dengue prevention in Dhaka and will help to increase the KAP towards the general people
Background: Clinical features, diagnosis, medical treatment, epidemiological characteristics, and the therapy of 26 confirmed cases were analyzed to provide a scientific basis for formulating epidemic prevention with control strategies and measures. Methods: An epidemiological survey, clinical features, treatment guidelines were conducted for 26 patients, who were diagnosed with Corona Virus Disease-19 (COVID-19) and have been treated in The General Hospital since Jan. 2020 according to China national guideline for COVID-19. Results: The ratio of males to females were 3.25 ∶1.22, (84.62%) were more than 18 years old. There were 20 (76.92%) cases suffering from fever, 14 (53.85%) cases with weakness, and 8 (30.77%) with dry cough. Progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) therapy could help COVID-19 patients overcome anxiety and sleep problems, which may give a boost in their mental strength to fight against this COVID-19 during their stay in the isolation ward. In this study, both the clinical results and quality of evidence showed that Ribavirin, Lopinavir/Ritonavir, Moxifloxacin and Arbidol Hydrochloride combination with supportive drugs are probably major effective treatments. In the present pandemic situation, frontline physicians; who treat patients in a medical setting and evaluate prophylaxis for COVID-19 high-risk environments formed by large quarantined and isolated populations, are facing a lot of challenges. Conclusion: Most cases were males. The aged people group were at higher risk of the disease. Half of the cases were caused by living together and close contact with a patient. Different combination drugs use for COVID-19 is clinically successfully effective in published literature, including this study.
