ABSTRACT
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has been raging across the globe since early January 2020. Various geographical regions have been passing multiple swells of upsurge of cases which aren't matched temporally as well as in severity. The diapason of the complaint ranges from asymptomatic to severe life-hanging complaint. Advanced age and the presence of comorbidities similar as cardiovascular complaint, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, chronic lung complaint, chronic kidney complaint, cancer, and obesity are among the major threat factors for severe disease. Aims and objectives: Significance of lab parameter among Corona Patients. Materials and methods: The covid- 19 opinion was verified by reverse transcription- polymerase chain reaction (RT- PCR) assay of nasopharyngeal swab sample. Hematology blood samples were used to analyze by flow cytometry. Biochemical samples were used to analyze by completely auto analyzer diagnostic outfit. Serology tests were carried out the styles based on indirect ELISA technique, immune plates are coated with a admixture of purified viral antigen and probe using the patient serum. Results: It is found that there is statistically significant (p-value<0.05) mean difference within the lab parameters (IL-6, LDH and Ferritin) in Covid patients using the Post Hoc Analysis. It is also found that there statistically significant (p-value<0.05) mean difference between RBC, Hb level, Hematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, Platelet, RDW, PCT and NL ratio while Age, WBC, MPV, M(Monocyte), E(Eosinophil), B(Basophil), D-dimer and PDW were found to be statistically insignificant (p-value>0.05) with respect to gender. Discussion: CBC, D- dimer, IL-6, LDH and Ferritin were analysed and found associated with adverse outcomes. There is significant association of age, gender, comorbidity. Conclusion: High NLR at admission associated with a higher mortality. Laboratory features (e.g., IL-6, LDH, Ferritin D-dimer etc.) were associated with poor outcomes.
ABSTRACT
Despite representing a recent world trend, wedding tourism felt a growth of 75% the past few years, which shows this market, specifically, the destination weddings niche, is proving to have an optimistic development and becoming a relevant topic in events tourism. The research objective analyses how the destination weddings have contributed for the development of events tourism in Portugal by examining what tactics are being utilised towards an international positioning. A quantitative method was used to achieve the objectives, being that two distinct surveys were elaborated, to foreign couples and another to vendors that take part in the industry. The data triangulation method was adopted with the goal of obtaining robust results by gathering a broader source of data. The results show that the destination weddings market contributes positively to the expansion of the events tourism in Portugal. Couples tend to choose Portugal for their climate, impressive sites and sense of intimacy, but the country needs to improve the transaction payments and present a wider range of advertisement. Regarding Covid-19, it had a negative influence mainly because most foreign couples decided to postpone or cancel the wedding. Copyright © 2022 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
