Asbestos Pollution_ Crimson Publishers

Asbestos Pollution by Somchai Bovornkitti* in Crimson Publishers: Telemedicine Journal and e-health
A news article, entitled “Study Finds Asbestos in Nearly Half of Thailand’s Population” by Tim Povtak, was published in CTN News (Chaing Rai News) on July 3, 2019. Unfortunately, it contained some misunderstandings concerning the recent report of Incharoen and her colleagues [1]. For the record, two studies have been conducted in Thailand to search for the presence of asbestos bodies in the lungs of patients who had died of different conditions besides asbestos-related diseases. The first study by Sri umpai et al. [2] was published in 1985. Those researchers reported that, of the 330 cadavers that they had examined, 33 percent were found to contain asbestos bodies [2]. The second study by Incharoen et al. [1] was conducted 30 odd years later; those researchers found an even higher incidence of asbestos bodies, i.e. up to 48.5 percent, in 97 of the 200 cadavers that they had examined [1].
The findings of both studies implied that Thai people at large were being exposed to increasing amounts of asbestos fibers floating in the ambient atmosphere. The pollutants were likely being released from the earth during rough weather, as well as the scaling off of asbestos fibers from the roof tiles and siding of aging houses. The studies did not claim that such exposure would lead to the death of those who had been exposed to asbestos bodies in their lungs

 Telemedicine and Impact on Health Delivery during COVID by Mohammed Sarwar M in Trends in Telemedicine & E-health The telemedicine practices deliver clinical information and permit consultation and discussion between health-care professionals and patients regardless of where the patient is located, reduce travel expenses, save time, reduce medical costs, and provide easier access for the common man to specialist doctors without disrupting their daily responsibilities. Telemedicine also allows likelihood of better maintenance of records and documentation. In the wake of the ongoing pandemic, telemedicine proves to be an added boon providing the following added benefits to the health‑care provider as well as the patients.

Bio-Informatics Analysis of MetaTranscriptomics Sequencing_Crimson Publishers

 Bio-Informatics Analysis of MetaTranscriptomics Sequencing by Siddharth Vats in Trends Telemedicine & E Health Abstract This mini review has focused on the bioinformatics based meta transcriptomics sequencing. Meta transcriptomics is the study of expression of RNAs, their regulation in and among communities of organisms. The level of complexity increases from one organism to community, from one species to community of species. The different types of software which are used and can help in sequencing are explained in detail here. How this different software is integral part of meta transcriptomics and helps in understanding their expression level, and how the expression level is influenced by the pathological, physiological and biological conditions in organisms. https://crimsonpublishers.com/tteh/pdf/TTEH.000549.pdf For more Open access journals in Crimson Publishers Please click on:  https://crimsonpublishers.com/ For more Articles on Health Informatics please clic...

Telemedicine in the COVID-19 Era: Strengths and Weaknesses_Crimson Publishers

 Telemedicine in the COVID-19 Era: Strengths and Weaknesses by G Olmo in Trends in Telemedicine & E-health Telemedicine (TLM) has a great innovation potential, and this fact has emerged dramatically in this pandemic period. Besides the monitoring of COVID-19 patients themselves, TLM can improve the followup of affected by chronic diseases, whose access to hospitals and outpatient structures is limited due to the risk connected with the pandemic and the overload experienced by the medical structures and personnel. Hence, this period represents an occasion to experiment new care models. For these purposes, we have implemented a TLM system to help clinicians in the follow-up of COVID-19 patients both in hospital and at home. The same infrastructure has great potential of applications in other fields, e.g., neurodegenerative diseases. During our experiments, we have pointed out some strengths and weaknesses of this novel approach to care. Our conclusion is that, whereas t...
