Assess response and attitude of general population living in Sharkia Governerate, Egypt as regard COVID-19 pandemic through arabic questionnaire.

During the COVID 19 pandemic and after new cases started to appear in Egypt in march 2020 the Egyptian government issued movement restrictions and placed areas into quarantine to reduce the spread of the virus. Egyptian citizens were encouraged to adopt personal protective measures, such as staying at home , increasing personal hygiene and wearing protective face masks. Ramadan is a holy month and a very special event for all the Muslims worldwide including the Egyptian Muslims . the Egyptians have many rituals and traditions special for Ramadan . normally Egyptian people tend to go to family gatherings and go out for iftar and suhoor in Ramadan .the markets also tend to be very crowded and full of people in Ramadan for buying food and other preparations for Ramadan and Eid Al Fitr. This all can lead to crowdingof people in the streets and markets and increases the chance of the spread of the virus and the chance of infection.Public Awareness play a major rule in reducing the spread of COVID 19 so in this study a survey is done to measure the attitude of the Egyptian population toward COVID 19 in Ramadan and to evaluate if the rituals and traditions in the holy month are affecting the spread of COVID 19 in Egypt.

The primary objective of the study aims to evaluate serological assays of virus Covid-19.

The objective of this investigation is to determine the incidence of the use of the low flow nasal cannula in suspected or confirmed cases with Covid-19

The article presents a protocol of a cross-sectional study of mental health of pregnant women in relation to the COVID 19 pandemic. The primary aim is to compare differences in anxiety and depression scores of pregnant women between countries affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The secondary aim is to assess demographic, economic, and social aspects affecting maternal anxiety and depression scores among pregnant women worldwide in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, investigators will be able to compare differences in perception of the different aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic (social distancing, restrictions related to delivery) between countries and according to the epidemic status (number of infected patients, number of reported deaths). The comparisons will also be done according to COVID-19 status of the participants.

A sequential combination of different antibodies test against SARS-CoV-2 is evaluated. The protocol included a rapid test and several ELISA tests within a defined cohort of healthcare workers.

Infection with SARS-CoV-2 or severe acute respiratory syndrome coronarvirus type 2 was highlighted in December 2019 in the city of Wuhan in China, responsible for an pandemic evolution since March 11, 2020. The infection affects all ages of life, although affecting children in a very small proportion of cases. The typical presentation of the disease combines fever (98%), cough (76%), myalgia and asthenia (18%) as well as leukopenia (25%) and lymphopenia (63%). Upper airway involvement rare. The main clinical presentation requiring hospitalization of infected patients is that of atypical pneumonia which may require critical care management (27%), and progress to an acute respiratory distress syndrome (67%) involving life-threatening conditions in almost 25% of patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Other organ damage have been reported, mainly concerning kidney damage (29%) which may require renal replacement therapy in approximately 17% of patients. Neurological damage has been very rarely studied, yet reported in 36% of cases in a study including patients of varying severity. Finally, the mortality associated with this emerging virus is high in patients for whom critical care management is necessary, reported in 62% of patients. We therefore propose a prospective observational study which aim at reporting the prevalence of acute encephalopathy at initial management in Critical/Intensive care or Neurocritical care , to report its morbidity and mortality and to identify prognostic factors.

COVID is a major health problem causing massive capacity problems at hospitals. Rapid and accurate diagnostic workflow is of paramount importance. Access to radiological diagnostics tools such as x-ray or computed tomography of the chest are limited even in high-resource settings. Focused lung ultrasound, FLUS, is a point-of-care diagnostic tool that allows rapid and on-site assessment of lung abnormalities. No transportation of the patient is required thus lowering risk of spreading SAR-CoV- inside the hospital. This study aims to explore the diagnostic value of FLUS in the COVID-19 pandemic and to explore if FLUS findings can predict risk of respiratory failure.
