In previous studies, out of 2.4 million married couples have females in between the ages from 15-44 year; 1.0 million couples were suffering from primary infertility and 1.4 million couples had secondary infertility. The infertility causes are ovulatory factors, dietary factors, psychological factors, abnormal endocrine functions, fallopian tube disorders etc. PCOS, PIDs, endometriosis. The ultrasonography is the most powerful tool for diagnosis. The treatment involves medical, surgical and assisted reproduction. Medical treatment includes clomiphene, metformin, iron & folic acid supplements along with oralcontraceptives. Surgical treatment is operative laparoscopy and assisted reproduction is achieved by IVF, GIFT & IUI etc. It is concluded from the study that the percentage prevalence of female infertility among ages was higher in age group (25-34) years (76%) and it was mostly secondary infertility (54%). The main pathological factor of female infertility in Sialkot city was PCOS, which was 52% of evaluated patients. Commonly used diagnostic tools were ultrasonography with prevalence of 100% and endocrine tests (72%). In prescription trend, anti-obesity drugs, anti-oestrogen drugs and oral-contraceptives were commonly prescribed and other treatment interventions were also seen in few patients.","PeriodicalId":334586,"journal":{"name":"Virology & Immunology Journal","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126508308","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}

The disease has caused a pandemic that had disrupted social and economic life globally. Intense research is ongoing to understand the nature of the virus and pathogenesis as well as the development of drugs and vaccines. Ample evidence suggests that the elderly people, those with pre-existing chronic medical conditions, such as lung disease, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, chronic kidney disease, compromised immunity and even men may be at higher risk of serious illness and intensive care. The virus tends to trigger the over-production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which results in multiorgan damage, resulting in death. Following this review, we proposed the use of Ganoderma mushroom extracts, which have certain properties relevant to the management of COVID-19 complications including anti-inflammatory, antiviral, immune modulatory, and antioxidant, anti-aging and multiorgan protection. Most of this research has been done on rodent models with few clinical trials. Since, the mushroom is generally regarded as safe (GRAS) and have been used for centuries in Asian traditional medicine, we recommend the use of this mushroom in the management of the disease including as active ingredients in COVID-19 drugs, and alternatives to synthetic drugs, health supplements, adjuvant therapy or functional foods.","PeriodicalId":334586,"journal":{"name":"Virology & Immunology Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128799751","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}

It is consisting of approximately 1700 nucleotides long genomic circular RNA with one open reading frame encoding for two proteins (small delta antigens (HDAg-S) and large delta antigens (HDAg-L) coated with Hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen (HBsAg). HDV was discovered in 1977 in an Italian patient who had chronic HBV infection. HDV infection is of particular concern in hemodialysis (HD) units due to HD patient’s segregation into groups, lack of HDV diagnosis, irreversible complications of the infection, and controversial treatments. Several different studies were conducted in different parts of the world to explore the prevalence HDV in HD patients. The prevalence was ranging from zero to 58%. In France HDV infection in chronic HD and kidney transplant patients was zero. HDV antibody was detected in 1.7% of HD and renal transplantation patients in Brazil. In Khartoum State, Sudan prevalence of HDV among hepatitis B patients on HD was 13.3%. The prevalence of HDV in HD patients in Iran was 44.5%. HDV antibody was positive in 58% of the HD patients in Menoufiya, Egypt there is no study so far conducted on the prevalence of HDV in HD patients in Libya. The aim of this study was to call for medical personal managing HD units to apply new restriction rolls in managing their work environments for the wellbeing of their patients.","PeriodicalId":334586,"journal":{"name":"Virology & Immunology Journal","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115919176","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}

As for other viruses, SARS-CoV2 is sensed by several PRRs, particularly TLR3 that triggers an intracellular signaling culminating in activation of transcription factors that promote the release of inflammatory and anti-viral cytokines, deeply shaping immune response. In a subgroup of patents, a massive release of inflammatory cytokines may also occur, strongly contributing to destroy alveolar cells, fibrosis and endothelial injury, thus favoring the activation of coagulation cascade. Viral infection also triggers UPR, an integrated response to stress, by activating the antiviral kinase PKR and by perturbing ER homeostasis. ER stress/UPR strongly contributes to the regulation of cytokine release also because its signaling intersects with PRR signaling at multiple levels. In this perspective we will discuss the possibility to tune the inflammatory/immune response to SARS-CoV2 infection by reducing ER stress, manipulating the different arms of UPR or inducing autophagy.","PeriodicalId":334586,"journal":{"name":"Virology & Immunology Journal","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131448900","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}
