Background: Nowadays, we are facing a disease caused by SARS-CoV- 2, known globally as COVID-19, which is considered a threat to global health due to its high contagiousness and rapid spread. Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study in 302 health professionals. An online questionnaire consisting of questions about knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) towards COVID-19 was applied. Socio- demographic, occupational and comorbidities factors were explored. Simple and multiple logistic regression models were used to identify factors associated with KAP. Results: Of the total, 25.2%, 31.5% and 37.4% had high levels of knowledge, preventive practices and risk perception attitudes respectively. Being married aOR=6.75 CI(1.46-31.2) p=0.014, having a master's degree aOR=0.4, CI(0.21-0.80) p=0.009, having a working day with less than ten hours ORa=0.49 CI(0.25-0.95) p=0.036 and obesity aOR=0.38 CI (0.15-0.95) p=0.039 were associated with a low level of knowledge of COVID-19. The variables associated with preventive practices were being over the age of 50 aOR=0.52 CI(0.27-0.98) p=0.007, working in the hospitalization area aOR=1.86 CI(1.08-3.18) p= 0.018 and having comorbidities such as arterial hypertension aOR=0.28 CI(0.081-0.99) p=0.02 and obesity aOR=0.35 CI(0.14-0.83) p=0.019. In relation to negative attitudes towards COVID-19, it was found that physical contact with patients with a confirmed diagnosis aOR=1.84 CI (1.14-2.97) p=0.006 and having asthma aOR=2.13 CI(1.081-4.22) p=0.029 were associated with these attitudes. Conclusion: Our study revealed that health professionals have an insufficient level of knowledge of COVID-19. This is why we recommend implementing strategies such as health literacy programs among health care workers. Thus, they can help develop positive

“…24 Acetaminophen is one of the most commonly used medications to manage fever because of its antipyretic effects and its safety profile when given at recommended doses. 24 Clinicians should advise patients on the standard therapeutic oral dose (e.g., adult dose of 0.5-1 g every 4-6 hours) and not to exceed maximum daily limits (e.g., 4 g/ day in adults). 24 Hepatotoxicity is a concern with overdoses of acetaminophen.…”

“…Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen and naproxen can also be used to manage fever and myalgias. 24 In March 2020, information was published suggesting that use of NSAIDs such as ibuprofen could aggravate COVID-19 symptoms. 25 Since that time, however, both CDC and FDA have released statements noting that they are currently not aware of scientific evidence establishing a link between NSAIDs and worsening of COVID-19.…”

Excessive use of azithromycin (AZM) is associated with resistance and negative impacts on the environment. Therefore, this study aimed to develop an electrochemical sensor for AZM. The screen‐printed carbon electrode (SPCE) modified with boron‐doped diamond nanoparticle (BDDNP) and reduced‐graphene oxide (rGO) was successfully applied to measure the AZM concentration. The morphology of the modified electrode was characterized by scanning electron microscopy‐energy dispersive X‐ray (SEM‐EDX). Furthermore, the effect of electrochemical parameters, such as signal per background, scan rate, and selectivity was determined. The results showed that under optimum conditions, the plot of AZM demonstrated linearity in the range of 30–100 μM with a limit of detection (LOD) at 1.6 μM. The repeatability and recovery were also investigated, and the sensor was applied to real samples obtained from hospital wastewater. A remarkable 93.27 % recovery rate and excellent precision were recorded with an %RSD of 2.41 %. This study underscores the potential of SPCE modified with rGO/BDDNP for accurate and reliable measurement of AZM levels, showcasing great applicability in addressing the challenges associated with monitoring AZM in various environmental settings.
