Versões contraditórias no campo da ciência: politização e desinformação na prevenção à Covid-19 / Versions contradictoires dans le domaine scientifique: politisation et désinformation das la prévention du Covid-19 / Contradictory versions in the field of science: politicisation and misinformation in the prevention of Covid-19:

Para 80% dos infectados a Covid-19, nome da infecção que o novo coronavírus provoca, não passa de uma virose assintomática, com sintomas leves ou moderados. Porém, 5% dos indivíduos infectados desenvolvem sintomas muito graves, cujo tratamento é bastante complexo e pode levá-los a óbito. Difundiu-se na grande imprensa a ideia de que no tratamento desta doença, o conhecimento médico-científico consolidado, ao longo da experiência no tratamento de infecções respiratórias similares não serviria para nada. Desta forma, produziu-se entre os médicos assistentes uma enorme timidez ao explicar à imprensa que a utilização de métodos tradicionais de tratamento ainda era válida e não precisaria de complicados experimentos científicos para justificá-los. No público atingido pelas campanhas movidas pela imprensa observamos efeitos psicopatológicos de angústia intensa, insônia, falta de ar, fantasia de morte iminente e pânico

Pour 80% des personnes infectées par Covid-19, le nom de l'infection que provoque le nouveau coronavirus, il ne s'agit que d'une infection virale asymptomatique avec des symptômes légers ou modérés. Cependant, 5 % des personnes infectées développent des symptômes très graves, dont le traitement est assez complexe et peut les conduire à la mort. Il semble que dans le traitement de cette maladie, les connaissances médico-scientifiques consolidées, grâce à l'expérience acquise dans le traitement d'infections respiratoires similaires, ne sont d'aucune utilité. Ainsi, une énorme timidité s'est manifestée parmi les médecins traitants lorsqu'ils ont eté appelés a expliquer à la presse que l'utilisation des méthodes traditionnelles de traitement était toujours valable et qu'il n'était pas nécessaire de recourir à des expériences scientifiques compliquées pour les justifier. Dans le public touché par les campagnes menées par la presse, nous avons observé des effets psychopathologiques d'angoisse intense, d'insomnie, d'essoufflement, de fantasme de mort imminente et de panique

For 80% of those infected with Covid-19, the name of the infection that the new coronavirus causes, it is nothing more than an asymptomatic viral infection with mild or moderate symptoms. However 5% of infected individuals develop very severe symptoms, whose treatment is quite complex and can lead them to death. It appears that in the treatment of this disease, the consolidated medical-scientific knowledge, throughout the experience in the treatment of similar respiratory infections, is of no use. Thus, an enormous inhibition was produced among the attending physicians when explaining to the press that the use of traditional methods of treatment was still valid and would not need complicated scientific experiments to justify them. In the public affected by the campaigns moved by the press we observed psychopathological effects of intense anguish, insomnia, shortness of breath, fantasy of imminent death and panic

Clinical Characteristics of Patients with Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis

Recent studies indicate that oral health of the human population, unfavorable trends persist. Despite several researches conducted both in Uzbekistan and abroad, the etiology and pathogenesis of recurrent aphthous stomatitis remains unexplained. The aim of the study is to assess the clinical status of patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis and develop a method of treatment and prevention. Methods: 106 patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis were diagnosed. The frequency of exacerbations of RAS ranged from 1 to 4 or more relapses per year, the duration of the disease was more than one year. Results: 72.2% of cases (44 people) were women aged 18-29 years, among men a greater number of complaints - 17 (27.8% cases). Disease duration of recurrent aphthous stomatitis in the patients participating in the study averaged 5.17±0.38 years. 41 people suffered from RAS 1 to 3 years. In 38 patients, the disease duration ranged from 3.1 to 5 years, in 12 people, RAS was observed from 5.1 to 7 years, 15 patients suffered from the pathology under study for more than 7 years. Conclusions: Timely early diagnosis of RAS is not only completely cure for patient, avoid complications, but also revise the low efficiency of traditional methods of the treatment.

The efficacy of multimedia visual training system versus that of traditional treatment for amblyopic chil-dren / 实用医学杂志

Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of multimedia visual training system for ambly-opic children through a randomized, controlled clinical trial. Methods A total of 203 amblyopic children (253 eyes) ages 3 to 12 years were randomly divided into a study group (100 patients, 170 eyes) and a control group (103 patients, 183 eyes). The study group received multimedia training system; while the control group received conventional integrated therapies. Best corrected visual acuity was examined 3 and 6 months after treatment. The efficacy and safety of multimedia visual training system for amblyopic children was assessed by comparing the ef-fect of treatment in both groups. Results 6 months after treatment, the total effectiveness rate was 74.1% in the study group and 52.5% in the control group, and there was a statistical difference (P < 0.0001). The effective-ness rate for refractive amblyopia was higher in the study group than in the control group (80.5% vs. 50.8%), and there was a significant difference (P < 0.001). As compared with the effectiveness rate for different ages, the subgroups of 3 to 6 years and 7 to 12 years in the study group was 80.8% and 58.0%, much higher than those in the control group (54.9% and 43.9%), and there were statistical differences(P < 0.001 and P < 0.05). Conclusions The efficacy of multimedia visual training system is superior to that of the traditional treatment , especially for refractive amblyopia. It is effective in all age groups.

Teaching Anatomy To Undergraduate Students.

Introduction: Anatomy is the base of medical science in India and is taught practically to all disciplines of undergraduate health sciences in the first year. It is an acknowledged fact that a basic knowledge of Anatomy is a prerequisite to learn any other branch of medicine. All medical professionals must have a basic knowledge of Anatomy so as to ensure safe medical practice. Traditionally Anatomy teaching consists of didactic lectures as well as dissections or prosections as per the requirement of the course. Lecture is defined as an oral discourse on a given subject before an audience for purpose of instruction and leaning. In the traditional method lectures were taken via chalk & board, but nowadays power point presentations are increasingly being used. To make Anatomy learning both pleasant and motivating, new methods of teaching gross anatomy are being assessed as medical colleges endeavour to find time in their curricula for new content without fore-going fundamental anatomical knowledge. This paper examines the other teaching methodologies for teaching gross anatomy. Conclusion: Proper utilization of newer technologies along with the traditional teaching methods will certainly lead to enhanced understanding of gross anatomy and will ultimately improve students’ performance.

Two Cases of Water Polo Athletes Successfully Treated with the Acupuncture and Moxibustion Therapy / 日本東洋医学雑誌

Recently, the number of athletes who receive acupuncture therapy is increasing. However, most of these athletes receive acupuncture therapy with single-acupuncture and/or electro-acupuncture to a local point, or a trigger point. We experienced two water polo athletes who were improved using acupuncture and moxibustion therapy with “zuisho” therapy. Case 1 was 16 year old man. He became aware of pain in his right thumb after training, which continued with extended training time, a numbness in his left hand appeared more, and he received acupuncture and moxibustion therapy. These symptoms disappeared immediately with acupuncture and moxibustion therapy using the standard traditional methods, such as contact needling to a yuan point, and in situ acupuncture to a back shu point, etc. Case 2 was 17 year old man. He received acupuncture and moxibustion therapy for lumbago and stiffness of the neck. These symptoms disappeared immediately after acupuncture and moxibustion therapy using the standard traditional methods such as contact needling to a yuan point, and inserting needles into a back shu point, an extra meridian, etc. In these two cases, symptoms were improved with “zuisho” therapy, and both could continue with longer and more strenuous training. This suggests that acupuncture and moxibustion therapy using the standard traditional methods are useful for athletes.
