ABSTRACT
Due to the current acute problem of combating the SARS-CoV coronavirus, our team has proposed an innovative technology to combat the virus in closed or ventilated rooms. The developed design of ventilation equipment ensures the inactivation of coronavirus by thermal exposure of sufficient duration. The virus is destroyed outside the human body, so sterilization is preventive. Capturing the virus from the airflow and its retention with subsequent disinfection occurs using a finely dispersed catching medium, using the effect of coagulation of the medium vapors, its coalescence, and intense heating. The use of highly efficient heating technology using microwave energy allows sterilizing the virus with minimal energy consumption. Unlike virus disinfection technologies developed in the world using ultraviolet radiation, the technology we offer involves a long-term deactivating thermal effect on the virus, which ensures a high degree of disinfection. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
ABSTRACT
Currently, the relevance of remote express diagnostics of various diseases is beyond doubt. The active spread of various types of epidemics and pandemics necessitates the improvement of various types of express diagnostics. The authors conduct research in the field of remote visual diagnostics using modern methods of processing telemedicine video information. This paper discusses the possibility of improving the quality of visualization of diagnostic signs using the digital dermatoscopy method for express diagnostics of skin rashes in COVID-19 in comparison with the manifestations of atopic dermatitis. The prospect of this work is the study of illumination conditions during registration and selection of skin areas for the analysis of diagnostic images. © 2021 IEEE.
