Purpose A recent survey has shown that the COVID-19 pandemic has culminated in dramatical and critical treatment particularly in acute infected patients. In fact, this systematic review-meta-analysis was directly pertained to estimation at the efficient value of some clinical managements to confront the COVID-19 infection. Methods Pubmed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane, and Scholar databases were searched from inception to July 1, 2020, to identify studies reporting the current treatment process and medications (e.g. hydroxychloroquine, antiviral therapy, convalescent plasma, and immunomodulatory agents) for COVID-19. A random-effects model meta-analysis was performed to calculate the relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). The outcomes of this study were the frequency of negative conversion cases, clinical improvements, mechanical ventilation demand, intensive care unit (ICU) entry, and mortality. The standard treatment refers to the published guidelines and specialist experience which varies in different articles, and the proposed treatment refers to the kind of interest suggested in the included studies. Results A number of 45 articles met the eligibility criteria (out of 6793 articles). Among them, 26 articles involving 3263 patients were included in quantitative analysis. Anti-COVID-19 interventions could significantly increase clinical improvement (RR 1.17, 95% CI 1.08-1.27; I 2 = 49.8%) and reduce the mortality rate (RR 0.58, 95% CI 0.35-0.95; I 2 = 74.8%). Although in terms of negative conversion, ICU entry, and mechanical ventilation demand, clinical intervention had no beneficial effect. The clinical effect of immunomodulatory agents (especially tocilizumab and anakinra) was noticeable compared to other medications with RR of 0.22 (95% CI 0.09-0.53; I 2 = 40.9%) for mortality and 1.25 (95% CI 1.07-1.46; I 2 = 45.4%) for clinical improvement. Moreover, Antivirals (RR 1.13, 95% CI 1.01-1.26; I 2 = 47.0%) and convalescent plasma therapy (RR 1.41, 95% CI 1.01-1.98; I 2 = 66.6%) had significant beneficial effects on clinical improvement. Conclusion Based on our findings, all the included interventions significantly declined the mortality and enhanced clinical improvements with no effect on negative conversion and mechanical ventilation demand. Especially, immunomodulators and plasma therapy showed favorable outcomes.

The ecological risks and health hazards of heavy metals pollution in Taihu Lake have received widespread concern. This study has developed a nationwide dataset on pollutant loads in species, and the dataset records 55,297 data from 310 articles, covering 778 species and 537 pollutants. In this paper, we extract and systematically integrate data on heavy metals concentrations in Taihu fish from the dataset. The Pi (single pollution index) and MPI (metal pollution index) models were used to assess the level of contamination in fish and the THQ (target hazard quotient) and ILCR (incremental lifetime cancer risk) models were used to assess the health hazards of fish consumption. The contamination levels varied in a feeding habit and living habit dependent manner. The risk of non-cancer health is the highest in omnivorous fish, then in carnivorous fish and herbivorous fish. ILCR model predicted that the values of As and Cd in omnivorous fish for children exceeded the risk threshold limits set by the EPA, and the ILCR values of As in omnivorous fish and Cd in carnivorous fish for adults also exceeded the risk threshold limits. In all, this study provided a comprehensive understanding of the risk of heavy metals in Taihu.

Factors influencing management of dry cell battery waste: a case of Greater Accra Region in Ghana

Indiscriminate disposal of dry cell battery (DCB) waste contributes to environmental and public health issues in developing countries such as Ghana, due to the toxic nature of this specific waste. Accordingly, a study was conducted in Accra, Ghana, to determine the socio-economic and demographic factors influencing handling DCB waste, aiming a sustainable environment. Using a random sampling technique, a descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted, encompassing 367 respondents from the Accra-Tema Metropolitan areas and Tema West Municipal Assembly in Greater Accra, Ghana. Using descriptive and multivariate statistical methods, the survey data were analysed with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 27. The results of this study show that female gender and residential area are likely to positively influence the use of DCB at home. Education significantly affects the use of DCB and its proper disposal. The results also suggest that 78% of the respondents disposed of DCB waste in waste bins. The mean monthly income of the respondents stands at USD 270, which is average and likely partially to positively influence the disposal of the DCB. The data collected revealed that female gender, age group, family size, and education level influence the indiscriminate disposal of DCB waste and DCB waste recycling. The results highlight that educated females above the age of 55, with a monthly income, are likely to properly segregate DCB waste. This study contributes to the knowledge gap in relation to dry cell battery waste management (DCBWM) in developing countries, aiming to advance global sustainability. This study is expected to contribute to educate and create awareness in managing DCB waste to reduce its indiscriminate disposal which leads to environmental pollution and negatively affects human health and environmental sustainability in Ghana.
