Abstract from the Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Medical Humanities in the Middle East; 2018 Nov 17-18: Doha, Qatar.


The article presents a literature review of scientific publications on the etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations and treatment of a new corona virus infection COVID-19. The authors have carried out a comparative analysis of the infection caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2, with severe respiratory syndrome (ТОРС/SARS), caused by the virus SARS-CoV and Middle East respiratory syndrome caused by MERS-CoV. The authors described epidemiological and clinical peculiarities of COVID-19 associated with a high virus affinity to the molecule of agiotensin converting enzyme of the 2nd type in the human pulmonary tissue.

Abstract Background : A stroke brings about several adverse outcomes so that a stroke patient faces numerous physical, and sensory together with cognitive, and psychological disorders. These disorders influence patients’ perceived self-care ability. There is no agreement on what the perceived self- care ability in stroke patients living at home is. Because of various cultures and medical systems, such an ambiguity may be more serious when it comes to the Middle East countries compared to advanced ones. This Systematic Literature Review aims to summarize the literature on this concept and propose a definition which might help similar research on the stroke in the future. Methods : The databases PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, PsycINFO, PEDro, Web of Science, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, Index Medicus, EMRO, Google Scholar, Magiran, SID, IranDoc, and the stroke-related literature will individually be queried to retrieve related literature on the perceived self-care ability in stroke patients, using subject headings and appropriate MeSH terms. The inclusion and exclusion criteria will be developed and refined by the research team. Two independent reviewers will participate in each search stage including abstract/title and full-text screening, study selection, data collection, or quality assessment steps. We will restrict our search to articles published in the English language in biomedical journals since 1970 to 2018. The result will be tabuled, and meta-synthesis will be performed. Discussion: The results of this systematic literature review can present a more accurate definition of perceived self-care ability in stroke patients living at home in Middle East countries.

Abstract BackgroundStroke has several adverse outcomes and is accompanied by physical, cognitive, perceptual, mental, emotional, and sensory disorders. These disorders influence patients’ perceived self-care ability. There is no single agreed-upon definition for the perceived self-care ability in stroke patients living at home, and such a definition may differ based on different cultures and settings, for example in the Middle East compared to advanced countries. The main objective of this systematic Literature review is to summarize the literature on the topic and propose a definition that might help stroke research in the future. MethodsThe databases PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, PsycINFO, PEDro, Web of Science, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, Index Medicus, EMRO, Google Scholar, Magiran, SID, IranDoc, and stroke-related literature will be queried individually to retrieve relevant literature on perceived self-care ability in stroke patients using subject headings and appropriate MeSH terms. The inclusion and exclusion criteria will be developed and refined by the research team. Two independent reviewers will participate in each search stage, including abstract/title and full-text screening, study selection, data collection, and quality assessment steps. We will restrict our search to articles published in the English languages in biomedical journals between 1970 and 2018. The result will be presented in tabular form, and meta-synthesis will be performed.DiscussionThe results of this systematic literature review can present a more accurate definition of perceived self-care ability in stroke patients living at home in Middle East countries, for researchers who aim to conduct new studies on the subject.
