The year 2020 was the year of infectious diseases with the arrival of SARS-CoV-2, which represented a profound change in the world we knew. However, we present a brief description of some of the top infectious diseases articles from 2020 not related with SARS-CoV-2. We reviewed a selection of the most important and relevant achievements in diagnosis and therapy related to bacteremia, nosocomial pneumonia, skin and soft tissue infections, infections by Clostridioides difficile, mycobacterial infections and invasive fungal infections. This year entailed a significant step forward in the indisputable value of the health care stewardship programs.

Tuberculosis is still the main infectious disease in the world and is increasingly becoming a concern with the presence of HIV / AIDS. In the Ministry of Health's Strategic Plan for 2015-2019, infectious diseases are one of the main priorities that must be addressed to realize a Healthy Indonesia. The number of cases of pulmonary tuberculosis in Indonesia is reported to be 130 / 100,000, every year there are 539,000 new cases and the number of deaths is around 101,000 per year, the incidence rate of pulmonary tuberculosis cases is about 110 / 100,000 people. This paper aims to reveal the problem of influential factors and efforts that must be made in controlling pulmonary TB disease. This paper is made by tracing research reports / articles related to the incidence of pulmonary TB. And then a selection of the collected reports is carried out, so that 20 selected journals / articles can be reviewed. From selected reports, determined aspects that indicate the factors that caused the incidence of pulmonary TB and TB prevention efforts were carried out. Various efforts have been made through various approaches to treat or at least reduce the incidence of TB. Such as network model strategy programs and others are expected to provide healing and prevent transmission. But in the implementation in the field, the success of treatment and prevention with this strategy experienced several obstacles that did not provide maximum results.

The monograph presents data on the incidence and outbreaks of leptospirosis in the world among the population at the turn of the XX and XXI centuries. The results of scientific research by domestic and foreign authors on the history, etiology and circulation of pathogens in various types of foci are summarized, and the features of the epidemic process and clinical and laboratory diagnostics of leptospirosis are highlighted. The role of preventive and antiepidemic measures in the foci of leptospirosis is considered. The article deals with the organization of prevention of hospital infections in the intensive care units when providing medical care to patients with severe forms of leptospirosis. It is intended for doctors of various specialties (epidemiologists, infectious diseases specialists, bacteriologists, microbiologists, veterinarians), laboratory diagnostics specialists, researchers, health care organizers, sanitary and epidemiological service specialists, students, interns, residents, students and teachers of the departments of infectious diseases and epidemiology of various medical educational institutions of higher professional, postgraduate and additional education. The book is illustrated with tables and drawings.

The world is now faced with a devastating pandemic outbreak coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). The latest coronavirus infected almost all continents and witnessed sharp rises in cases diagnosed. The engineers tend to eliminate the matter and have solutions, one in every utilizing technical innovation. Researchers from Singapore, Taiwan, and Denmark have developed a fully automated robot that may take coronavirus swabs in order for health care professionals don’t seem to be exposed to the chance of infection. The objective of this study is to present the potential effects of robotics to help healthcare professionals on getting specimens and testing for COVID-19. These possible consequences include positive and negative outcomes and as a result, the overall impact on the profit or loss to society is far from obvious. The paper discusses two theoretical scenarios, distinguished fundamentally by the different behavioral responses of the automated swab robot and the selection of results in line with policy interventions.

Ben Jonson's early plays show a marked interest in prose as a counterpoint to the blank verse norm of the Renaissance stage. This essay presents a digital analysis of Jonson's early mixed-mode plays and his two later full-prose comedies. It examines this selection of the Jonsonian corpus using DocuScope, a piece of software that catalogs sentence-level features of texts according to a series of rhetorical categories, highlighting the distinctive linguistic patterns associated with Jonson's verse and prose. Verse tends to employ abstract, morally and emotionally charged language, while prose is more often characterized by expressions that are socially explicit, interrogative, and interactive. In the satirical economy of these plays, Jonson's characters usually adopt verse when they articulate censorious judgements, descending into prose when they wade into the intractable banter of the vicious world. Surprisingly, the prosaic signature that Jonson fashioned in his earlier drama persisted in the two later full-prose comedies. The essay presents readings of Every Man Out of his Humour and Bartholomew Fair, illustrating how the tension between verse and prose that motivated the satirical dynamics of the mixed-mode plays was released in the full-prose comedies. Jonson's final experiments with theatrical prose dramatize the exhaustion of the satirical impulse by submerging his characters almost entirely in the prosaic world of interactive engagement.

disease in 2019, also called COVID-19, which has been widely spread worldwide had given rise to a pandemic situation. The public health emergency of international concern declared the agent as the (SARS-CoV-2) the severe acute respiratory syndrome and the World Health Organization had activated significant surveillance to prevent the spread of this infection across the world. Taking into the account about the rigorousness of COVID-19, and in the spark of the enormous dedication of several dental associations, it is essential to be enlightened with the recommendations to supervise dental patients and prevent any of education to the dental graduates due to institutional closure. One of the approaching expertise that combines technology, communications and health care facilities are to refine patient care, it’s at the cutting edge of the present technological switch in medicine and applied sciences. Dentistry has been improved by cloud technology which has refined and implemented various methods to upgrade electronic health record system, educational projects, social network and patient communication. Technology has immensely saved the world. Economically and has created an institutional task force to uplift the health care service during the COVID 19 pandemic crisis. Hence, the pandemic has struck an awakening of the practice of informatics in a health care facility which should be implemented and updated at the highest priority.

Especially dangerous infections (EDIs) belong to the conditionally labelled group of infectious diseases that pose an exceptional epidemic threat. They are highly contagious, rapidly spreading and capable of affecting wide sections of the population in the shortest possible time, they are characterized by the severity of clinical symptoms and high mortality rates. At the present stage, the term "especially dangerous infections" is used only in the territory of the countries of the former USSR, all over the world this concept is defined as "infectious diseases that pose an extreme threat to public health on an international scale." Over the entire history of human development, more people have died as a result of epidemics and pandemics than in all wars combined. The list of especially dangerous infections and measures to prevent their spread were fixed in the International Health Regulations (IHR), adopted at the 22nd session of the WHO's World Health Assembly on July 26, 1969. In 1970, at the 23rd session of the WHO's Assembly, typhus and relapsing fever were excluded from the list of quarantine infections. As amended in 1981, the list included only three diseases represented by plague, cholera and anthrax. However, now annual additions of new infections endemic to different parts of the earth to this list take place. To date, the World Health Organization (WHO) has already included more than 100 diseases in the list of especially dangerous infections.
