    Abstract Background: The purpose of this literature review is to analyze all the articles related to COVID-19 and orthopedics and to shed light on the scientific evidence that has actually been found. Methods: A systematic review of the existing literature was performed to identify all studies dealing with COVID-19 and orthopedics. The guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) were followed for the identification of the articles. On April 19 2020, a search was performed using MEDLINE and PubMed Central. For the research, the following terms were used: "COVID-19" OR "SARS-CoV-2" OR "Coronavirus" AND "orthopaedic" OR "orthopedic" OR "traumatology". Results: A total of 23 studies were included in the review, of which 19 (82.6%) were editorials, letters to editors, orthopedic forums or expert opinions, 3 (13.0%) studies were level IV of evidence and 1 (4.4%) was a literature review. Articles have been divided into the follow categories: guidelines, traumatology, pediatric, spine surgery, telemedicine, sports medicine, bioethical, educational, rehabilitation, survey and hand surgery. Conclusions: Although scientific production is very active on the topic of COVID-19 and orthopedics, the scientific evidence is practically nil, mainly dealing with editorials, letters to editors or expert opinions. Therefore, future studies should focus on clinical outcomes and treatments in COVID-19-positive orthopedic patients and prevention strategies. Additionally, international guidelines and consensus statements must be developed to standardize procedures as much as possible in this pandemic scenario.

  2. Article: The ICMR bulletin on targeted hydroxychloroquine prophylaxis for Covid-19: Need to interpret with caution

    Abstract The National Task Force for Covid-19 of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) in a bulletin dated March 21, 2020 recommended the use of hydroxychloroquine for prophylaxis in asymptomatic health care workers caring for suspected or confirmed patients and household contacts of confirmed patients. This is cause for concern with regard to bioethics and good clinical practice. The evidence for the efficacy of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine is currently derived from open label trials and cell culture studies with no conclusive evidence available from randomised clinical trials. Hydroxychloroquine also carries contraindications in the case of conditions such as maculopathy, retinopathy and QTc prolongation and should be used with caution in vulnerable populations such as children, pregnancy, lactation and the elderly. Despite this, there has been a rush to procure and self-medicate with hydroxychloroquine, which has been addressed by the National Task Force. The WHO and the FDA have not found adequate evidence to recommend any specific medication for the treatment of Covid-19. While further evidence is awaited, including from trials registered with the FDA and the ICMR, it is recommended that the administration of hydroxychloroquine for chemo-prophylaxis be considered on a case by case basis with monitoring by a registered medical practitioner including electrocardiography (ECG). The potential for retinal and cardiac toxicity must also be borne in mind. It is further recommended that a public advisory regarding the need for caution in chemo-prophylaxis be made available in the public domain. Keywords: Coronavirus, Covid-19, SARS-CoV-2, hydroxychloroquine, chloroquine, chemoprophylaxis, bioethics, evidence- based medicine.

    Abstract In the midst of pandemic and chaos, the world did not cease. Although shelter-in-place was mandated, advance practice nursing students did not waiver. The Class of 2021 advance practice nurses will enter preventive and tertiary care with patience and resiliency. While healthcare facilities were limiting non-essential staff and visitors, the Class of 2021 did not stop. While working as full-time nurses and preparing our families for the worse care scenarios, we did not deter from our goals. Rather we found new goals through reflection and will be better prepared to face the unknown.

    Abstract The suspension of in-person classes brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated adjustments to all manner of instruction Laboratory instruction was particularly challenged since the primary response was to deliver content remotely, i e , online In an effort to reinforce laboratory topics and engage students, five click-through organic chemistry lab stories modeled after the Choose your Own Adventure book series were created These labventures were (1) use of FT-IR;(2) identification by mixed melting point;(3) liquidliquid extraction;(4) recrystallization;and (5) chemical reaction To facilitate assessment, each story was deployed on the Learning Management System so the number of times students visit each page of the story could be counted These assignments were generally well received by students and revealed varied levels of understanding of the laboratory material

    Abstract The Black Swan shadow of CoViD-19 looms over contracts, undermining traditional remedies for asset default The relationship between landlord and tenant is altered by the restrictive measures against the pandemic, however, are required by contract to pay the rent Specific rules have been introduced for some types of contracts in order to exempt from contractual liability entrepreneurs, but they are not general The issue of "contingency law" is therefore highly topical: the theme of the revision of the contract and the execution of the contract in good faith and in compliance with the duty of solidarity ex art 3 of the Constitution necessarily returns
