RESUMO
A 26-year-old female was hospitalized with complaints of repeated vomiting and weight loss (18 kg in 8 months); and incessant belching and nausea/regurgitation for 30 days subsequent to her COVID-19 treatment. After all the normal medical radiological reports, appropriate psychological and psychiatric evaluations were done. Incessant belching warranted a simple and flexible cognitive psychotherapy for histrionic personality with a therapeutic assessment technique. A total of 6 h of psychotherapy was delivered in three sessions. The belching and vomiting came down by 75% after the first extensive session, and almost 100% after the second session. However, mild belching reappeared, and after the termination-cum-booster session belching subsided till discharge and the first follow-up after 2 weeks
RESUMO
Environment pollution is simply a consequence of the anthropogenic activities of mankind. Emissions from the motor vehicles have been shown to be the major contribution to air pollution in the urban environment. The major pollutants are SO2, No(x) and CO. Of these pollutants carbon monoxide is of utmost importance as the pollutant has serious toxicological effects and proves fatal on mankind. In this study, the concentration of Carbon-Monoxide (CO) along and near the major roads at Coimbatore west zone due to vehicular emission is predicted using the Air Quality Modelling Software Called CALINE4 model. Using MAPINFO GIS environment, thematic maps of the CO pollution at different receptor heights were prepared. Also, the concentration of CO for the year 2004 at 1.8 m height and 5 m height were predicted. In addition, to create awareness about the air quality, suggestions had been given to take suitable measures from engineering and environmental point of view.
