Selection of therapeutic options through guideline-recommended treatment of asthma exacerbations has not been affected by what we currently know about COVID-19.

Systemic corticosteroids should be used to treat an asthma exacerbation per national asthma guidelines and current standards of care, even if it is caused by COVID-19. Short-term use of systemic corticosteroids to treat asthma exacerbations should be continued. There is currently no evidence to suggest that short-term use of systemic corticosteroids to treat asthma exacerbations increases the risk of developing severe COVID-19, whereas there is an abundance of data to support use of systemic steroids for moderate or severe asthma exacerbations. Patients with asthma but without symptoms or a diagnosis of COVID-19 should continue any required nebulizer for treatments, as recommended by national professional organizations.If healthcare providers need to be present during nebulizer use among patients who have either symptoms or a diagnosis of COVID-19, they should use recommended precautions when performing aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs). If clinicians are concerned that an asthma exacerbation is related to an underlying infection with COVID-19, clinicians can access laboratory testing for COVID-19 through a network of state and local public health laboratories across the country.

If patients with asthma who have symptoms or a diagnosis of COVID-19 need to use nebulizer at home,it is recommended by national professional organizations that they should use the nebulizer in a location that minimizes and preferably avoids exposure to any other members of the household, and preferably a location where air is not recirculated into the home (like a porch, patio, or garage) .Limiting the number of people in the room or location where the nebulizer is used is also recommended. Nebulizers should be used and cleaned according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If nebulizer use in a healthcare setting is necessary for patients who have either symptoms or a diagnosis of COVID-19, they must use recommended precautions when performing aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs).

Wastewater workers should use standard practices including basic hygiene precautions and wear the recommended PPE( Personal Protective Equipment) like goggles,protective face mask or splash-proof face shield,liquid-repellent coveralls,waterproof gloves,rubber boots as prescribed for their current work tasks when handling untreated waste.Basic Hygiene precautions include:

• Washing hands with soap and water immediately after handling human waste or sewage.
• Avoid touching face, mouth, eyes, nose, or open sores and cuts while handling human waste or sewage.
• After handling human waste or sewage, wash hands with soap and water before eating or drinking.
• After handling human waste or sewage, wash hands with soap and water before and after using the toilet.
• Removing soiled work clothes before eating food and eating in designated areas away from human waste and sewage-handling activities.
• Not smoking or chewing tobacco or gum while handling human waste or sewage.
• Keeping open sores, cuts, and wounds covered with clean, dry bandages.
• Gently flushing eyes with safe water if human waste or sewage contacts eyes.
• Using waterproof gloves to prevent cuts and contact with human waste or sewage.
• Wearing rubber boots at the worksite and during transport of human waste or sewage.
• Removing rubber boots and work clothes before leaving worksite.
• Cleaning contaminated work clothing daily with 0.05% chlorine solution (1-part household bleach to 100-parts water).

There are no additional precautions for HCP. Some HCP may choose to implement extra measures when arriving home from providing healthcare, such as removing any clothing worn during delivery of healthcare, taking off shoes, washing clothing, and immediately showering. However, these are optional personal practices because there is insufficient evidence on whether they are effective.People at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19 should take the general precautions recommended for them which includes: Washing hands often, taking everyday precautions to keep space between them and others (stay 6 feet away, which is about two arm lengths),staying away from people who are sick,cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched services.

There is no evidence to suggest that employees of wastewater plants need any additional protections in relation to COVID-19.

Ego defenses

Immature Defenses

• Acting Out

  Expressing unacceptable feelings and thoughts through actions

• Denial

  Avoiding the awreness of painful reality

• Displacemnet

  Transferring avoided ideas to neutral persons

• Idealization

  Expressing extreme positive thoughts of self and others while ignoring negative thoughts

• Identification

  Modeling behaviour after one person who is more powerful.

These ego defenses are unconsious or conscious

Mature Defenses

• Sublimitaion

• Altruism

  alleviating negative feelings via unsolicited generosity.

• Suppression

  Intentionally withholding an idea or feeling.

Tumor nomenclature

Carcinoma implies epithelial origin,whereas sarcoma denotes mesenchymal origin. Both terms imply malignancy. terms for non-neoplastic malformations include hamartoma(disorganized overgrowth of tissues in their native location, eg, Peutz- Jeghes polyps) and choriostoma9 normal tissue in foreign location, eg, gastric tissue located in distal ileum in Meckel Diverticulum).

• Benign tumor may show well demarcation, well diffreentiation, low mitotic activity, no necrosis, no metastasis.
• Malignant tumor shows poor demarcation, poor mitotic activity, erratic growth, local invasion, metastasis, reduced apoptosis. Upregulation of telomerase prevents chromosome shortening and cell death.

CELL TYPE	Benign	Malignant
Epithelium	Adenoma,papilloma	Adenocarcinoma, papillary carcinoma
Messenchmye
Blood cells		lekaemia,Lymphoma

TYPE	DEFINITION	EXAMPLES	STRATEGY TO REDUCE BIAS
Selection Bias	Error in assigning subjects to a study group resulting in an unreprestative sample.Most commomnly a sampling bias	Berkson Bias study population selected from hospital is less healthy than general population Healthy worker effect study population is healthier than the general population Non-response bias participating subjects differ from nonrespondents in meaningful ways.	randomization
Recall Bias	Awareness of disorder alters recall by subjects; common in retrospective studies	patients with disease recall exposure after learning of similar cases	Decrease time from exposure to followup
Measurement Bias	Information is gathered in a systemically distorted manner.	Association between HPV and cervical cancer not observed when using non-standarized classifications/	Use objective, standardized, and previously tested methods of data collection that are planned ahead of time
Procedure Bias	subjects in different groups are not treated the same	patients in treatment group spend more time in highly specialized hospital units	Blinding and use of placebo
Observer- expectancy Bias	Researche's belief in the efficacy of a treatment changes the outcome of that treatment	If observer expects treatment group to show signs of recovery, then he is more likely to document positive outcomes.	Blinding

Heart Failure

Clinical syndrome of cardiac pump dysfunction-->congestion and low perfusion. Symptoms inlude dyspnea,orthopnea,fatigue; signs include rale,jugular venous distention(JVD),pitting edema.

Systolic Dysfunction

reduced EF,increased EDV;decreased contracility often secondary to ischaemia/MI or dialted cardiomyopathy

Diastolic Dysfunction

preserved EF, normal EDV;compliance often secondary to myocardial hypertrophy.
