ABSTRACT
Objective: To list studies that show the relationship of long-term damage to the sense of smell in adult patients with COVID-19 (coronovirus disease), in order to facilitate access to information on the management of this sequel and thus address the problem. COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, emerged in the East Asian region and became a pandemic causing the death of millions of individuals. Fever, dyspnea, cough, arthralgia, myalgia, headache, rhinorrhea and diarrhea are the most prevalent symptoms, in addition to olfactory and taste changes, which commonly cause anosmia and dysgeusia. This literature review aims to list the relationships between long-term damage to smell in patients with Covid-19 and its possible treatment. Thus, we carried out a narrative review of the literature in the PUBMED database with the following keywords: "smell of loss";"Covid-19";"Chronic damage". Thus, we found seven articles, and two articles were discarded, the first for relating olfaction loss by COVID-19 in children only, a rare fact in this age group. And the second, for escaping the topic.
ABSTRACT
Myopia is an ophthalmological abnormality prevalent among human beings, it is characterized by the formation of an image anteriorly to the retina, with the ciliary muscle at rest. We can list genetics and environment as conditioning factors of this pathology;in the meantime, this last factor has acquired great importance nowadays, in view of the growing exponential increase in the use of electronic screens. This literature review aims to list the relationships between myopia and the overuse of screens. In this context, it is necessary to review the main international publications on this health problem in children under 4 years of age. Thus, we carried out a literature review in the PUBMED database with the following keywords: "Myopia";"Use of Digital Devices";"children", "computer", "covid". Although the relationship between the pandemic and the repercussions for ophthalmic health proposed in this work is an extremely relevant topic, it is known that there is still a need for further studies.
