Although much has been learned about the virus which peaked with the development of the vaccine, there is still a lot of unanswered questions. Maximum duration of positive SARS-CoV-2 real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) from symptom onset may be up to 3 months [1], however it is not known if the continued detection of the viral genome implies prolonged infectivity or presence of a non-viable virus [2]. Most people with COVID-19 develop antibodies after resolution of acute infection [2]. The exact duration of these antibodies in the body is unknown, but some studies have shown that both memory T-cells and B-cells can persist up to 6 to 8 months after acute SARS-CoV-2 infection [3]. These SARS-CoV-2 antibodies may confer some immunity to the person after the acute infection and have been associated with protection against subsequent infection in nonhuman primates by the same viral strain during the early recovery phase [4]. In humans, however, it is unknown to what extent this immune response indicates a protective immunity to subsequent infection with SARS-CoV-2 [5]. Few cases of reinfection have been documented worldwide with varying symptom severity; the first case in the US was published in January 2021 (reinfection occurred in June 2020) [5]. None of the initial cases reported the presence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies at the time of reinfection. We present a patient who tested positive to SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR twice in 10 months (Table 1). At both times, she was asymptomatic and the second time, she had coexisting SARS-CoV-2 antibodies.","PeriodicalId":120938,"journal":{"name":"New Medical Innovations and Research","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115312957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background: The rate of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnoses is increasing, making it important to design spaces for people with ASD. Approximately 85% of children with ASD live with their parents (Mykyta, 2012). Ahrentzen & Steele (2010) identified the need to develop housing options for people with ASD. Method: Design considerations from a literature review were organized into two tables: 1) aging adults and 2) people who have ASD. Shared characteristics were placed into a third table using Mostafa’s seven ASPECTSS™ criteria, and then applied to the intergenerational facility plan to demonstrate the effectiveness of intentional planning by caregivers and the design community. Results: When integrating Mostafa’s ASPECTSS™ framework, and the intergenerational Green House Model, the application of design choices within housing demonstrates that appropriately designed space can positively impact persons and families with autism, regardless of age. Conclusion: Findings show numerous overlapping design criteria for people with autism and aging adults that can lead to effective environmental solutions for both. This facility type has the potential to minimize family fracture since aging parents are supported in their ability to care for their child with autism.","PeriodicalId":120938,"journal":{"name":"New Medical Innovations and Research","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134106870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Leukemia is the 11th and10th most common cause of cancer morbidity and mortality worldwide, respectively. There are insufficient data on the prevalence and associated factors of leukemia in Yemen, particularly in the study area. Aims: This cross-sectional study aims to determine the prevalence of different types of leukemia and associated factors among children with leukemia in the pediatric cancer units of Al-Kuwait Hospital, Sana'a City. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on children with leukemia who were treated selectively in the pediatric leukemia units of Kuwait University Hospital in Sana'a. Group diagnostics and histopathological diagnoses were formed in line with the French, American and British classifications of leukemia in children in the pediatric leukemia units, over a period of 5 years. Factors associated with become infected with leukemia that were studied included ages, gender, and regarding outcomes. The association of death and recovery with different age groups and leukemia types was also studied through rates and calculation of OR, CI, chi-square test and p values ​​through probability tables. Results: 244 leukemia patients were diagnosed, treated and followed; there was association of leukemia with younger age group; 50% were in the age group 1-5 years and with mean ± SD age= 6.44 ± 3.7 years. There was significant association with male gender (66.7%). There was non-significant association between high mortality and the 6-10 year age group [(8/78; 10.2%), with OR = 2.6, p = 0.060, and with the AML [(4/38; 10.5%), OR = 2.1)]. Considering, the cure rates association with ages, roughly there were similar cure rates occurred in the different age groups. Also, there was high cure rate in the JCM (2/3; 66%), with OR = 2.9. And with the CML (7/11; 63.6%; OR = 2.60. Conclusion: In the current study an association between leukemia and younger age group, with males was found. An association between high mortality and the 6-10 year age group, with AML was found. Also, there was no association between ages and cure rate but a high cure rate occurred with JCM and CML.","PeriodicalId":120938,"journal":{"name":"New Medical Innovations and Research","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115476985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the last three decades of the 20th century, and continuing through the first two decades of the 21st century, there has been an increasing inflow of immigration to the world’s most highly developed countries. Parallel to the said move, brain drain, as well, is defined as the migration of educated workers in search of higher salaries, better standard of living and quality of life, access to advanced technology and more stable political circumstances in different places around the world. Limited career structures, poor intellectual stimulation, lack of research funding, threats of violence; and absence of good schooling are among the well-known motives for migration. By the way, brain drain has long been regarded as a serious restraint on the development of poor countries. While early literature supports the view that skilled migration is definitely damaging for those left behind, there are several recent studies that suggest that migration may in fact foster human capital formation and growth in sending countries. Before globalization, psychological problems of immigrants, like acculturation, had already a specific place in psychiatry. Now, while with increasing number of migrants, new accommodations and programs for responding to psychosocial complications of this huge number of refugees, outcasts, or valid émigrés seems more mandatory than before, the move toward universal measures, diagnoses and treatments of mental illness is inconsistent with the belief that mental distress is culturally and socially mediated. In the present article, the aforesaid circumstances, with reference to developing societies, have been surveyed from different perspectives.","PeriodicalId":120938,"journal":{"name":"New Medical Innovations and Research","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115681497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Resections made in the acetabular zone could disrupt the continuity of the pelvic ring. The morbidity that comes after such a procedure requires a reconstruction surgery in order to improve the functional outcome. In this aim, multiple techniques have been reported. Case report We report the case of a 23-year-old male with no medical history diagnosed with a right pelvic bone osteosarcoma located in Enneking zones I and II. He first underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by a large resection of the whole bone. A reconstruction was then made using a vascularized fibular autologous graft and stabilized by a long customized lombo-femoral plate. Recovery of walking was possible using crutches. No recurrence was note at one year follow-up. Conclusion Malignant primitive tumours of the pelvis threaten the vital and functional prognoses of patients. It is now possible to perform conservative resections in more than 80% of case without compromising the survival of patients or their functional outcome.","PeriodicalId":120938,"journal":{"name":"New Medical Innovations and Research","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130910942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
