Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by SARS-COV2, represents a highly transmissible and potentially fatal disease that is of great global public health concern at this moment. The pandemic situation in Bangladesh is also evolving rapidly with positive cases and deaths increasing each day.
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly contagious disease, caused by a novel enveloped RNA beta-coronavirus, also known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). The first case of this unprecedented outbreak "pneumonia of unknown etiology" was reported in Wuhan City,
SARS-Cov2 is an emerging respiratory virus in the coronavirus family, responsible of the pandemic since November 2019. France, which has more than 17,000 deaths from the virus, is one of the main outbreaks. As of 16 April 2020, more than 76,000 individuals in France have been hospitalized,
Study Setting:
The present study is a single blinded placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial, in which target individuals were obese females (BMI≥30 kg/m2), within the age of 20-60 years, attending the Obesity research and therapy unit of Al-Kindy College of Medicine, University of Baghdad
Background:
Hypercholesterolemia and statin use in Denmark
Simvastatin is the most commonly prescribed statin, a class of drugs that inhibit hydroxyl-methyl-glutaryl (HMG) coenzyme A reductase, and thereby blocking biosynthesis of cholesterol in the liver. Simvastatin is prescribed for individuals
Aging and obesity are prevalent risk factors for morbidity and mortality. By 2030, Americans aged 65 and older will number an estimated 72 million people,1 half of whom will be obese. Both advanced age and obesity are well-characterized risk factors for chronic disease and disability suggesting that
1.0 Background
While atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia requiring therapy, it is also associated with increased risk of stroke, heart failure, myocardial infarction, dementia, and death. The number of Americans affected with AF is expected to surge to nearly 16

Background Regular physical activity confers protection against a number of both physical and mental health disorders (Hallal et al 2006; Bauman 2004). Physical activity also produces health benefits related to overall physical fitness and physical performance (Kruk 2007; Pedersen & Saltin 2006;
Determination of cardiovascular risk
If the assessment of cardiovascular risk remains incomplete, can identify indicators that measure risk:
1. Framingham Risk Score: Includes age, sex, total and HDL-CHOL, and levels of blood pressure (can underestimate the risk in some patients).
2. PROCAM Risk
Inclusion criteria:
1. Patients have confirmed influenza A(H1N1,H3N2) or influenza B virus infection by real time PCR
2. age between 18-65 years old
3. axillary temperature ≥38ºC and with at least two constitutional symptoms (headache, chill, myalgia ,or fatigue) and one respiratory symptom (cough
This study will measure risk and protective factors associated with pandemic A/H1N1 infection. This study will also be able to estimate risk factors for severe illness requiring hospitalization or leading to death. These factors are: travel history, exposure to other confirmed or suspected cases,
1. Patient selection and enrollment. Participants will be recruited into the study from subjects admitted for acute inpatient rehabilitation in the North Texas Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems (NT-TBIMS) affiliated rehabilitation units. Our goal is to enroll participants who have the potential
