However, the development of new vaccines against covid-19 seems to be the first and only hope to mitigate this pandemic and go back to normal life. Several mass vaccination campaigns have been planned to vaccinate as many people as possible. Nonetheless, a wide range of people did not take their vaccines for hesitancy reason of the inequality of disturbance of vaccines. Hence, focusing on the macroeconomic factors, this study outlines the primary causes of the gap in vaccination rates between countries, specifically between developed and developing countries. The results provide interested insights: GDP has a positive and significant effect on the vaccination rate. However, the rural population rate negatively affects the vaccination rate. It is noteworthy that a more equitable disturbance of vaccines is required. Moreover, mass media campaign should be omnipresent to encourage people, particularly in rural zones, to obtain the vaccine.","PeriodicalId":93010,"journal":{"name":"International journal of clinical case reports and reviews : open access","volume":"357 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135950636","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}

We report herein the case of a 66-year-old female patient with follicular thyroid carcinoma and an internal jugular vein (IJV) tumor thrombus. The patient had undergone a thyroidectomy at our institution and presented with left-sided swelling of face and neck. An MRI showed a thrombus within the left IJV, a finding confirmed by US. During surgery, a left IJV tumor thrombus was identified and excised followed by venous reconstruction. The pathological examination confirmed a follicular thyroid carcinoma. The patient received postoperative treatment with 150 mCi of 131I, followed by thyroid-stimulating hormone suppression therapy with thyroxine. Although the fibrous capsule prevents the tumor’s invasion into the surrounding structures, the presence of a tumor thrombus carries a poor prognosis.","PeriodicalId":93010,"journal":{"name":"International journal of clinical case reports and reviews : open access","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135950631","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 most common symptoms are diplopia, ptosis, and fluctuating weakness of ocular and limb muscles. Here we report a case of MG after COVID-19 vaccination. A 37-year-old Iranian lady presented with generalized weakness, diplopia, and ptosis after three days from taking the second dose of COVID-19 vaccine. Symptoms began three days after taking the second dose of Sinopharm BIBP COVID-19 vaccine (BBIBP-CorV) and worsened within a week. Her past medical history included migraine-type headaches and gastric reflux. She was consuming Rizatriptan and Nortriptyline for her migraine headache and Pantoprazole, Domperidone, and Sertraline for stomach reflux. She had a family history of Essential tremor in her father, uncle, and grandfather. Antibody against the acetylcholine receptor (AChR-Ab) was more than eight times compared to the normal range. The pattern of repetitive nerve stimulation was suggestive for MG. Treatment with corticosteroid, azathioprine, and pyridostigmin led to amelioration of symptoms. Follow-up testing revealed AChR-Ab returned to the normal range. There are some case reports in that a chronic autoimmune disorder flared up after the COVID1-9 infection or its vaccination. There are several reports of MG exacerbations, acute respiratory distress syndrome, higher ICU admission, and mortality rate and worsening neurological symptoms after COVID-19 infection. There is still debate about the association between neuromuscular disorders and COVID-19 infection and vaccination. This matter is more doubtful for myasthenia gravis.","PeriodicalId":93010,"journal":{"name":"International journal of clinical case reports and reviews : open access","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135950635","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}

Synthetic medications and surgery are examples of therapeutic approaches; both have high prices and potentially dangerous side effects. Plant-based drugs provide an alternative strategy. Traditional uses of medicinal plants are one of the options for treating obesity, and they help with the development and research of obesity phytotherapy. In this review, we provided information regarding plant species along with their mode of action used for the effective treatment of obesity. It was revealed that the species in the catalogue had anti-obesity properties, including actions to slow down the absorption of fat, reduce enzymatic activity, mediate lipid levels, and boost the effects of lipolysis, which were primarily linked to phenolic compounds. For species with phenolic compounds in their chemical components, more thorough botanical, chemical, pre-clinical, and clinical research are especially required. The safe therapy for obesity may involve taking standardized medicinal plant extracts. The effectiveness of some plant combinations for medical purposes, however, may be reduced, and they may also have unanticipated negative effects.","PeriodicalId":93010,"journal":{"name":"International journal of clinical case reports and reviews : open access","volume":"230 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135996779","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}
