    Abstract Background: COVID-19 is a pandemic, resulting in large number of deaths all over the world.
    Methods: The risk factors for mortality are not clearly understood. We are presenting a new hypothesis.
    Results: Virus become more virulent as it passes through weaker hosts and vice versa.
    Conclusions: Viruses become more virulent when it passes through weaker and older hosts. It will be worth analysing the transmission chain of COVID-19 from this perspective.

    Abstract Background: COVID-19 is a pandemic, resulting in large number of deaths all over the world. Lack of effective antiviral agents and vaccines pose a major challenge to control this pandemic.
    Methods: Review the role of reverse quarantine in the control of COVID-19.
    Results: Public health measures like social distancing, wearing face mask and hand hygiene along with quarantine measures form important steps to control the disease. Reverses quarantine is a useful strategy to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with COVID-19.
    Conclusions: Reverse quarantine is a promising public health measure to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with COVID-19.

    Abstract Background and aims: Long COVID is the collective term to denote persistence of symptoms in those who have recovered from SARS-CoV-2 infection.
    Methods: WE searched the pubmed and scopus databases for original articles and reviews. Based on the search result, in this review article we are analyzing various aspects of Long COVID.
    Results: Fatigue, cough, chest tightness, breathlessness, palpitations, myalgia and difficulty to focus are symptoms reported in long COVID. It could be related to organ damage, post viral syndrome, post-critical care syndrome and others. Clinical evaluation should focus on identifying the pathophysiology, followed by appropriate remedial measures. In people with symptoms suggestive of long COVID but without known history of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection, serology may help confirm the diagnosis.
    Conclusions: This review will helps the clinicians to manage various aspects of Long COVID.

    Abstract Abstract Background The third wave of the pandemic in India lasted from January till March 2022, and breakthrough infections were common. Third dose of vaccine was rolled out to priority groups in the beginning of 2022. There is no published information available about the clinical outcomes in this context. Aims 1. To assess the community level experience of the pandemic, with focus on the third wave and vaccination in India. 2. To describe the experience of the boosted and non-boosted population during 3rd wave. 3. To study the public perception about the precautionary (3rd) dose in India. Results: Among 5971 respondents, 98.6% were vaccinated, 40% of whom had also received the 3rd dose. Age range: 24% were below 40, 50% were 40-59, 26% were >60 years. 45% were women, 53% were healthcare workers. COVID-19 was reported by 3361 (56%) respondents. Among those who reported COVID-19, 2311 (70%) were infected during the third wave. Severe symptoms occurred in <1%, while moderate severity was reported by 42%. Repeated bouts of infection were common; 15% of those with history of COVID-19 had been infected at least twice. 44% of the respondents (2610/5971) did not report a history of COVID-19. The third dose was taken by 2383 individuals, of whom 30% reported COVID-19 during the 3rd wave. The boosted group also had higher N95 use, and a greater proportion of healthcare workers. Among those who did not take a 3rd dose, 45% reported COVID-19 in the 3rd wave. COVID-19 incidence was lower at 27% among those is this group who had recently received their second dose. Longer gap after the second dose correlated with higher chance of infection during 3rd wave. Giving a 3rd dose before a 6-month gap since the second dose did not make a difference in infection rate. Covaxin and Covishield recipients had the same incidence of COVID-19 during the third wave. While 35% of the respondents believed it was helpful, 65% of the respondents were either uncertain or disapproving of the benefit of a 3rd dose. Conclusions: 1. 30% of respondents who received a 3rd dose went on to get COVID-19 during the 3rd wave. 2. Younger adults were more likely to be affected during 3rd wave. 3. Although severe disease was rare, 42% reported having symptoms of moderate severity that could temporarily incapacitate people, affecting their routine and productivity. 4. The proportion of different grades of severity was similar among all vaccinated people, regardless of whether they received a 3rd dose. 5. Reinfections occurred in 15%, and were not always milder. 6. Among those who did not receive a 3rd dose, 45% reported COVID-19 in the 3rd wave. However, this group had lower use of N95 masks (50%) than the 3rd dose group (68%) which may have reduced the overall protection. 7. The longer the gap after second dose, the greater was the chance of reporting COVID-19. 8. People who received their second dose recently had the same incidence of third wave COVID-19 as following a 3rd dose. 9. 3rd dose, given too close to the second dose made no difference in the infection rate. 10. Covaxin and Covishield recipients had the same rate of COVID-19 in the third wave. 11. Although the respondents were 98.6% vaccinated at baseline, there was considerable uncertainty (65%) among them about the benefit of a 3rd dose.

    Abstract Background: Quality of Life (QoL) reflects the quality and outcome of healthcare along with key indicators of performance such as mortality and morbidity.
    Objective: The aim of the study was to measure the QoL among patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) on maintenance hemodialysis and to understand various correlates of QoL.
    Methods: A total of 95 ESRD patients from three dialysis centres in Southern districts of Kerala were interviewed. QoL was measured using vernacular version of World Health Organization Quality Of Life - Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire.
    Results: The mean age of the patients was 56.2 ± 13 years and 73.7% were males. Mean converted scores for overall QoL was 42.37 ± 21.3 and Health-related QoL (HRQoL) was 43.3 ± 18.3, indicating poor QoL. Males had significantly higher physical domain scores (
    Conclusion: Patients with better control over inter-dialysis weight gain (≤1600 g) had significantly higher scores. This study highlights the importance of using QoL tools in assessing the QoL of patients and the factors contributing to it.
