Zero COVID 19 Occurrence among 206 of 1023 Migrants of War from Syria at the Czech Border (Rapid Research Note)

Recent war conflicts in Europe and Middle East generate new refugee wawes and possible dissemination of Covid I9 variants from countries with low vaccination activity due to armed events.Therefore we have tested all migrants of war(206) coming via Hungarian Slovak Czech Border,within one week among 1023 refugees of war..who had symptoms of respiratory infection.None of tested symptomatic individuals was positive by rapid antigen test.Therefore the the risk ofCOVID I9 dissemination was not been confirmed.

Discussion on COVID-19 Prevention apart of Public Health: Several Judgments of national and international Courts Helps to prepare us for the next Wave of Pandemics (Letter to the Editor)

This letter to the editor highlights other than just medical aspects of ongoing pandemics, just before the third/fourth wave of COVID-19, arriving back to the EU, having destroyed several economic and trade structures in China and Korea in recent months. However, we have some advantages in comparison to December 2019. First, (i) testing is widely available, accessible, cheap and more accurate. Second, vaccines are on the market (ii) and 4.5 billion of the whole population are vaccinated, (iii) Third two molecules of antivirals are registered for clinical use and finally (iv) several judications on both sides of the At- lantic may help to protect the global and local Public Health. In this first letter, we have selected some - according to space - important judgments supporting the protection of health care on one side, and minimizing the side effect of pandemics to human rights, economic bills and legal structure of pandemic response.

Survey of Alcohol, substance Abuse, depressive Disorders & other social Pathology in Refugees & Homeless in Postcovid Era: Two cohort nonrandomized Survey of 109 Clients in Post COVID-19 Period

The postcovid era augmented with armed conflict in Eastern Europe brings new waves of social pathology, including postcovid syndrome, where the commonest signs are depression, anxiosity, followed by alcohol, tobacco, or other substance use. Two cohorts of clients of social work: one among migrants and refugees (98 clients);11 homeless have been studied on development of both symptomes related to stress (post trauma stress syndrome after armed conflict, and chronic stress of homelesness and isolation). Only one case of HIV and HepC in both groups have been recorded, both on ARV or HCV treatment. Tobacco use has been increased in the group of posttrauma stress syndrome related to Group I (armed conflict refugees), but alcohol or substance use were sporadic and exceptional both before and after admission in the 3m follow up.

Unexpectedly low Incidence of COVID-19 among Refugees of War from Ukraine to Slovakia in First Month of Conflict (Original Research)

Several armed conflicts and military troop interventions have been associated with minor pandemics, however, not always, and with the extent varied. e.g. during the most catastrophic loss of lives in the Bosnian Conflict in 1993-95 where 160,000 civilians and soldiers fell into mass graves, only one small epidemic of Hepatitis A was reported to the European branch of WHO. In contrast, epidemics of cholera in Haiti, not related to war but associated with troop deployment (UN battalion from Nepal) in 2014, led to a devastating epidemic of cholera in the Artibonite River District with 1,000s of deaths. The same was reported during civil war and genocide in Rwanda in 1988-98 where hundreds died, and refugees of war-related exodus from Rwanda to the DRC in Goma. Finally, pipeline and water supply devastation during war in Yemen, led to the largest cholera outbreak in Yemen (1-3). Therefore, fear of epidemics, especially during COVID-19 Omicron wave is of concern mainly when the numbers of positive cases in Austria and other EU countries are increasing. The aim of this study was to report the results of COVID-19 antigen testing in those escaping from war in Ukraine.

Among Refugees of War from Ukraine, Yemen and Syria, Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome is the Commonest Diagnosis among Health CTR Visits

War conflicts are not anymore located only to African and Asian subcontinent or to developing and less democratic countries, but after stopping the armed tensions: Zimbabwe in 2018;Ethiopia & Somalia in 2020;Libya in 2021;DRC in 2022, Middle east and Central Europe are surprisingly leading parts of the world with armed conflicts resulting to large numbers of internally displaced(l) war refugees (11) and subsequent unrest migrants(iii). The aim of this survey is to compare the commonest diseases reported by the migrants and refugees at Outpatient Departments (OPD) of clinics being served by SEUC tropic-team and migrant health teams at border spots within the last 6 years.

Health Care for Refugees and Asylum Seekers in the Setting of Refugee Camps at Europe's Entry Points

St. Elizabeth University, Bratislava, and its Tropic team has had an active participation in refugee and migrant humanitarian aid since 2015. In the beginning, it was mainly providing health care in the border areas of Hungary, Serbia, and Slovenia, which represented transit points on the route to Western European final destinations. The uncontrolled influx of fleeing people (mainly Syrians at that time) was stopped in March 2016. The diplomatic EU-Turkey deal and subsequent closure of Balkan borders resulted in an extensive humanitarian catastrophe when thousands ended up stranded in Greece. Since then, the members of St. Elizabeth's Tropic team operate in affected Greek areas. At first, the University had its presence in the northern part of mainland Greece, which later moved to Lesbos Island. Cooperating closely with the Greek Ministry of Health as well as with multiple non-governmental non-profit organizations registered in Greece. The Topic team focuses on refugee health care inside as well as outside the Greek refugee camps.

Highlands Malaria is Common but HIV very rare in Rural Areas of Burundi 2,000 Meters above Sea Level (Short communication)

Highlands malaria is defined as falciparum parasitaemia at 1,500meters above sea level nowadays above 2,000 meters. Here we describe the relatively high proportion among outpatients in rural Burundi with a low density of population and travel mobility leading to minimal occurrence of HIV and TB.

Providing prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of patients after COVID-19 using artificial intelligence.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this research was to investigate the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of patients after COVID-19 with the possibility of using artificial intelligence and virtual reality in combination with traditional approaches to patient rehabilitation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Statistical methods were used to evaluate the situation of COVID-19 worldwide and in Slovakia until March 2022. We investigated the rehabilitation options of breathing exercises, upper and lower limb rehabilitation, and cognitive tasks in patients with post-COVID syndrome who met the criteria for a combined rehabilitation program using virtual reality. Using artificial intelligence, we can predict in advance the evolution of the pandemic according to the records of infected patients and the evolution of the pandemic in the world, taking into account nearby territories. In the treatment of post-COVID syndrome, parameters have been identified that can be measured to objectively assess the improvement of the patient's condition and to continue personalizing individual rehabilitation scenarios. RESULTS: In the patients who underwent the combined rehabilitation method, we observed progress in their ability to improve breathing, limb motor skills and also cognitive function of the patients. We identified different categories of parameters that can be evaluated by artificial intelligence methods, and we evaluated different scenarios using the exterior of nature and the interior of the room of the rehabilitation method of virtual reality, as well as the key elements of the "WOW" effect creating emotional changes in the patient for their motivation. CONCLUSION: We showed that artificial intelligence and virtual reality methods have the potential to accelerate rehabilitation and increase motivation in patients with post-COVID syndrome.
