ABSTRACT
Backgrounds: To report the first case of left optic neuritis and perineuritis associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) BNT162b2 mRNA vaccination. Case presentation: A 39-year-old woman was referred and admitted to our hospital due to transient left visual field abnormality with left ophthalmalgia and headache 12 days after the first vaccination dose of SARS-CoV-2 (BNT162b2). On admission (Day 2), she presented with left ophthalmalgia and headache without any other neurological deficits including the movement of eyeballs, visual field, visual acuity, or nystagmus. MRI on Day 2 suggested slight left optic neural swelling;Gadolinium-enhanced MRI on Day 4 revealed left optic perineuritis. Test for serum anti-aquaporin 4 antibody was negative, whereas anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody was positive. She was diagnosed with left optic perineuritis after SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination. Her visual disturbance never recurred and her ophthalmalgia and headache subsided only with anti-inflammatory agents. Discussion(s): Many cases of optic neuritis associated with vaccinations have been reported except for SARS-CoV-2 BNT162b2 mRNA. To our knowledge, only one neuromyelitis optica case was associated with anti-MOG antibody. Therefore, we propose that SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination may induce transient optic neuritis and perineuritis, associated with anti-MOG antibody in the present case. Conclusion(s): This is the first case of left optic neuritis and perineuritis associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) BNT162b2 mRNA vaccination.Copyright © 2022
ABSTRACT
Background: Randomized phase III clinical trials suggest that the antibody cocktail containing casirivimab and imdevimab reduces the risk of hospitalization/death in high-risk COVID-19 patients. However, the efficacy of the cocktail in daily clinical practice remains unknown.
ABSTRACT
The UCL Huntington's Disease Centre Multidisciplinary clinic sees over 1,000 patients who from across the country. During the SARS-Covid19 pandemic, the clinic shifted to 100% remote consultation, using the video platform Circuit by Unify (https://eu.yourcircuit.com). The introduction of video platform enabled the clinic to operate throughout the pandemic. After the relaxation of local guidelines, most appointments have returned to in-person appointments, however, some patients, especially distant and care-home residents, continue to request video appointments. Given it is likely that video appointments will be a permanent addition to the service, we set out to evaluate the user experience from our patients to assess whether the video appointments are meeting their needs. To this end, we designed our electronic form specific to our centre, and sent to 100 patients and their carers who used the platform in the preceding 6 months. The survey addresses aspects of patient satisfaction such as convenience of location, technical issues of using the video platform, and waiting times, as well as overall clinical experience. The results will be analysed in two groups. Group 1 will be those without acute psychiatric illnesses, and Group 2 will be those with acute psychiatric illnesses. I will present the results our audit with these groups to evaluate the patient experience of virtual clinic appointments.
ABSTRACT
Due to the pandemic of the COVID-19 infection, almost Japanese university were to move the classes online. Heretofore, there were canceled as a face-to-face gave the guidance for entrance ceremony, registering for the course and lectures except for special skill trainings. Almost university student had to join the classes from their room of the residence. Under in ordinary circumstances, it was free utilization of campus equipment as open space PC and library for their own learning. For the experienced student, it was prepared high performance computer in each laboratory. However there were expected up to about 90 minutes in a day by 5 frames, approximately totally 8 hours at the longest, and additional assignments of these lessons will be handled by telework in their room. Originally, it was hard to say that all university students were able to get telework in an appropriate environment, because of conditions precedent using campus equipment as schooling. Moreover, prolonged VDT work in improper posture cause to increase the frequency of ergonomic injuries and illnesses. The purpose of this study was to investigate the individual student environment of working for ICT in the rooms. The individual data from photo was classification desk, chair, chair with armrest or not, desk light, cushion for ergonomic evaluation as a guideline of Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. The Data were collected over 300 students via cloud e-Learning system from May to December in 2020.There were 30% student who has no chair, using low table and sitting the floor. There were 23% student has used Japanese style low table called Chabudai for the attend their classes. The major findings out of this study, it was not enough the equipment for the long hours study in a day about 23% student from their room. There was significant difference population proportion teszt between male and female, using desk or low table. It was conducted an online questionnaire to over 300 university students in their 20s to investigate whether an appropriate working environment was established. Compare and evaluate with the ideal working environment and report the current situation. © MCCSIS 2021.All right reserved.
