ABSTRACT
With the vast growing population and the immense and rapid transformation to the digital world after COVID-19 pandemic, everyone from all age groups has now turned to using technology as never before. In many terms, 2020–2021 has become the era of digital boom in all sectors as well in all age groups of the world. Many business ideas and technologies have surfaced to help make users deal with small daily things like payment, health care, electricity bills and others readily at hand without the actual need of presenting the data in the form of hard copy. This work is based on IoT and RFID technology to help users reduce the manual burden to carry so many cards for every unique purpose. The proposed research aims to automate and integrate as many industries as possible into a single card system. So, with just a tap of our RFID card on the system, we are good to go. Integrating all the cards of daily use into a single RFID card will help people free from the all the different bank cards into one single card. The proposed smart card system works on an electronic device that is specifically loaded with the required software and collects only the necessary data from our card, eliminating the need for us to carry the documents and also the different bank cards, user identification cards and medical cards. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
ABSTRACT
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is the most challenging problem for the world today. The disease is caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), leading to high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Numerous pathways are involved in the neurological manifestation of the disease. The imaging findings are not limited to encephalopathy, encephalitis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, meningitis, ischemic stroke, and intracerebral haemorrhage. Bilateral basal ganglia haemorrhages as manifestations are exceedingly rare. A 42-year-old male normotensive patient with no co-morbidities presented to the hospital with left hemiparesis. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) brain revealed haemorrhagic lesions in bilateral basal ganglia. No associated abnormalities were found in vasculature of brain. Hereby, authors report this rare and unusual case of COVID-19 infected patient presenting as bilateral basal ganglia haemorrhage.
ABSTRACT
Background: The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is the most challenging health crisis today that we are facing. Against the backdrop of this pandemic, it becomes imperative to determine the effect of this infection on pregnancy and its outcome. Therefore, this study was aimed to determine to evaluate the maternal and fetal outcome in COVID positive pregnant women. Method: In this retrospective study we included all pregnant women admitted with COVID-19 over period of 15 April 2021 to 31 May 2021. Clinical features and feto-maternal outcomes were assessed. Results: The incidence of COVID positive pregnant women was found to be increased may be because of increase testing capacities of laboratories. More patients delivered by LSCS(50.54%). Admission to ICU relatively increased in mothers(15.38%). Increase incidence of iatrogenic preterm births and caesarean sections due to maternal or fetal compromise. All neonates were tested negative for COVID-19. Incidence of IUD(17.64%) appeared to be increased. Conclusion: There is relatively higher rate of LSCS. Overall preterm delivery and IUD was increased. Maternal ICU admission and death due to COVID-19 complication was also increased.
