The ability to effectively prepare for and respond to the psychological fallout from large-scale disasters is a core competency of military mental health providers, as well as civilian emergency response teams. Disaster planning should be situation specific and data driven; vague, broad-spectrum planning can contribute to unprepared mental health teams and underserved patient populations. Herein, we review data on mental health sequelae from the twenty-first century pandemics, including SARS-CoV2 (COVID-19), and offer explanations for observed trends, insights regarding anticipated needs, and recommendations for preliminary planning on how to best allocate limited mental health resources.

Anxiety and distress, often attributed to isolation, were the most prominent mental health complaints during previous pandemics and with COVID-19. Additionally, post-traumatic stress was surprisingly common and possibly more enduring than depression, insomnia, and alcohol misuse. Predictions regarding COVID-19's economic-traumatic stress symptoms.COVID-19 patients with cardiac involvement have a high mortality rate. The aim of this study was to investigate the echocardiographic features in COVID-19 patients between severe and non-severe groups. For this single-center study, data from patients who were treated for COVID-19 between March 25, 2020 and April 15, 2020 were collected. Two-dimensional echocardiography (2DE) images were obtained for all patients. Patients were divided into two groups based on the severity of their COVID-19 infections. 2DE parameters indicating right ventricular (RV) and left ventricular (LV) functions were compared between the two groups. A total of 90 patients hospitalized for COVID-19 were included in this study. The mean age of the severe group (n = 44) was 63.3 ± 15.7 years, and 54% were male. The mean age of non-severe group (n = 46) was 49.7 ± 21.4 years, and 47% were male. In the severe group, RV and LV diameters were larger (RV, 36.6 ± 5.9 mm vs. 33.1 ± 4.8 mm, p = 0.003; LV 47.3 ± 5.8 mm vs. 44.9 ± 3.8 mm, p = 0.023), the LE ejection fraction (LVEF) and the RV fractional area change (RV-FAC) were lower (LVEF, 54.0 ± 9.8% vs. 61.9 ± 4.8%, p  less then  0.001; RV-FAC, 41.4 ± 4.1% vs. 45.5 ± 4.5%, p  less then  0.001), and pericardial effusions were more frequent (23% vs. 0%) compared to patients in the non-severe group. A multiple linear regression analysis determined that LVEF, right atrial diameter, high-sensitivity troponin I, d-dimer, and systolic pulmonary artery pressure, were independent predictors of RV dilatation. The results demonstrate that both right and left ventricular functions decreased due to COVID-19 infection in the severe group. TCPOBOP 2DE is a valuable bedside tool and may yield valuable information about the clinical status of patients and their prognoses.Sanitary waste disposal and site selection for establishing landfills are challenging problems for environmental planners. This paper aims to take environmental, socio-economic, geological, geomorphological, hydrological and ecological factors into consideration to provide a decision support framework for landfill siting. Analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) are coupled to develop an efficient multi-criteria decision-making method to be utilized in a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment for evaluating the suitability for landfill siting. As the first attempt to employ DEMATEL effectively in a landfill site selection problem, the proposed method is tested with landfill siting scenarios in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. Regional analysis is also performed to identify the potentially most suitable statistical divisions for landfill siting in NSW. The top two ranked zones covering 0.7% and 22% of the study area, respectively, are considered as the optimal areas for establishing landfills, while the bottom two ranked zones are not recommended for further consideration. Further detailed analysis is also conducted on the existing landfills, which shows that 1.0% and 37.0% of them are ranks 1 and 2, respectively. The scenario-based analysis implies that, among the contributing factors; geological and economic factors are highly important.The use of hot-melt extrusion (HME) technique in the preparation of semi-solid products offers several advantages over conventional processes. However, the optimization of the technique for preparation of semi-solid pharmaceuticals is challenging due to involvement of ingredients with different physical properties. Hence, a simple tool to optimize the mixing of ingredients that results in a target ratio and drug content uniformity is utmost important. In this study, a handheld colorimeter has been explored to optimize the process variables of twin screw processor for preparation of hydrophilic PEG-based ointment. The process parameters which were optimized with use of handheld colorimeter have been used for preparation of polyethylene glycol-based metronidazole ointment. The metronidazole ointment prepared by twin screw processor was compared with commercially available metronidazole gel for in vitro release testing and ex vivo permeation. The flux, ex vivo bioavailability, and Tmax of polyethylene glycol-based metronidazole ointment was found to be similar to that of marketed metronidazole gel.This article has been retracted.

To evaluate intensity of immune/clotting assays and DP/TP through different clinical severity groups (CSG) as follows (1) non-thrombotic asymptomatic carriers of aPL (N-THR), thrombotic primary APS (THR), deceased (D) for recurrent and fatal thrombosis. Activated partial thromboplastin time ratio (aPTTr), dilute Russell viper venom time ratio (DRVVTr), IgG/IgM anticardiolipin (aCL) and anti β-2-glycoprotein-I (aβ2GPI). Participants 33 N-THR, 64 THR and 11 D. The frequency of DP and TP (DRVVTr or aPTTr partnered with respective IgG aCL or aβ2GPI) increased across CSG (p = 0.006 and p = 0.003); mean DRVVTr and IgG aCL/aβ2GPI were always greater in TP versus non-TP within each CSG and progressively increased across the CSG. The intensity of individual lupus anticoagulants partnered with their corresponding IgG aPL related to the frequency of multiple positivity throughout CSG suggesting that of intensity of immune/clotting assays and multiple positivity are the different faces of the same diagnostic coin in our thrombotic PAPS cohort.
