“…However, they found that exposure to surgical smoke was lower during laparoscopic surgery than during open surgery for colorectal diseases. A systematic review by Matta et al [ 16 ] showed no significant difference between smoke and aerosols generated from open surgery and those generated from minimally invasive surgery. We initially planned laparoscopic gastrectomy for our patient.…”

Background Because of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, preoperative screenings for COVID-19 infection are often performed in many institutions. Some patients are diagnosed with COVID-19 infection by antigen tests or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing for COVID-19, even if they have no symptoms, such as fever or respiratory symptoms. We herein describe a patient with gastric cancer who underwent distal gastrectomy 6 weeks after recovering from COVID-19 infection diagnosed by preoperative PCR. Case presentation An 86-year-old man was transferred to our hospital because of hematemesis and melena. A hemorrhagic gastric ulcer was found in the lesser curvature of the antrum by emergency endoscopy. Endoscopic hemostasis was performed, and he was discharged after recovery. A tumor-like lesion in the lesser curvature of the antrum was found on repeat endoscopy and was diagnosed as well-differentiated adenocarcinoma by biopsy. There was no evidence of lymph node metastasis or distant metastasis; therefore, we planned radical surgery. However, he was diagnosed with COVID-19 infection by preoperative PCR screening. Although he had no symptoms, such as fever or respiratory symptoms, he was hospitalized because of his advanced age. He was discharged 10 days after admission, and repeat COVID-19 PCR was negative. We planned radical surgery for the stomach tumor 6 weeks after recovery from the COVID-19 infection. A PCR-negative COVID-19 status was confirmed again before hospitalization. Open distal gastrectomy with Billroth I reconstruction was performed. We avoided ultrasonic scalpels and used a Crystal Vision 450D surgical smoke evacuator (I.C. Medical, Inc., Phoenix, AZ, USA) to reduce intraoperative surgical smoke. The postoperative course was uneventful. Conclusion Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, some patients are diagnosed with COVID-19 infection by preoperative antigen tests or PCR, even if they have no symptoms. If possible, elective surgery should be performed 4 to 6 weeks after recovery from COVID-19 infection to maximize safety. Moreover, surgeons must consider intraoperative surgical smoke.

“…With the aid of models, covid-19 illnesses can be fought by integrating blockchain and AI technology. Stakeholders, blockchain functions, AI classifiers, and constant COVID data sources are the four key stages that are outlined below in Figure 3 [33]. To create and monitor useful data from the raw data to acquire the information, academics have been using databases from clinical laboratories, social networks, and institutions for experimental observation.…”

“…Numerous studies demonstrated that X-rays are crucial in the initial phases of diagnosis of the virus. As a result of the prevalence of online transmission of medical records, it is crucial that this sensitive information be safeguarded to prevent the spread of inaccurate data [31][32][33][34][35]. Machine learning and deep learning are two approaches being used to combat the spread of misinformation online, especially in the smart city.…”

Smart city is emerging application in which many Internet of Things (IoT) devices are embedded to perform overall monitoring and perform processing automatically. In smart city the authenticity is key problem and many users in the in smart city has faced challenges during COVID-19. The COVID-19 epidemic, a deadly virus, first appeared in the globe in 2019. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that it is almost certainly feasible to contain this virus in its early phases if some precautions are taken. To contain the infection, most nations declared emergencies both inside and outside their borders and prohibited travel. Artificial intelligence and blockchain are being used in smart city applications to monitor the general condition in the nation and reduce the mortality rate. Blockchain has also made it possible to safeguard patient medical histories and provide epidemic tracking. AI also offers the ideal, wanted answer for correctly identifying the signs. The primary goal of this study is to fully investigate blockchain technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in relation to COVID-19. A case study that was recently developed to identify and networked pathogens acquired important knowledge and data. Additionally, AI that can handle massive quantities of medical data and perform difficult jobs will be able to reduce the likelihood of intricacy in data analysis. Lastly, we highlight the present difficulties and suggest potential paths for addressing the 19 diseases in future circumstances.

“…Direct mode includes transmission through aerosols and/or in the form of respiratory droplets; other body fluids and secretions, such as faeces, saliva, urine, semen and tears. Indirect transmission may occur via fomites or surfaces (e.g., furniture and fixtures) present in the immediate environment of an infected patient and objects used on the infected person (e.g., stethoscope or thermometer) [8,9].…”

The SARS-COV2 pandemic has changed the therapeutic relationship between women and midwives and these changes have been perceived as stressors. The aim of this work is to investigate the effect of these stressors on midwives through an online questionnaire. The VRS tool was used and statistical analysis was performed using Stata. Significant differences were found in the somatization cluster and in subjective stress cluster. The analysis shows that there is a need to implement resilience-enhancing factors such as communication, sharing of distress and the presence of support.
