- Abstract
The aging process is a complex biological phenomenon that results in the gradual decline of physiological function and an increased risk of age-related diseases. While aging is a natural and inevitable process, several factors can influence the rate of aging and the onset of age-related diseases. One of the primary factors that contribute to the aging process is cellular damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and other forms of oxidative stress. This damage can accumulate over time and lead to a range of age-related diseases, including cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer. To counteract the damaging effects of oxidative stress, the body relies on antioxidant defense systems that scavenge free radicals and prevent damage to cellular structures. Another factor that contributes to the aging process is the gradual decline of the immune system, known as immunesenescence. This decline can lead to an increased susceptibility to infectious diseases, decreased response to vaccinations, and an increased risk of cancer. In addition to cellular damage and immunesenescence, the aging process is also influenced by genetic and environmental factors. For example, lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, and stress can impact the rate of aging and the development of age-related diseases. Similarly, genetic factors can contribute to the development of certain age-related diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Age-related diseases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in older adults. Some of the most common age-related diseases include cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes. These diseases are often chronic and progressive, and their prevalence increases with age. Research has shown that interventions such as calorie restriction, exercise, and pharmaceutical agents such as rapamycin and metformin can slow the aging process and delay the onset of age-related diseases. These interventions target a range of pathways that contribute to aging, including those involved in cellular damage, immunesenescence, and genetic and environmental factors. In conclusion, the aging process is a complex biological phenomenon that is influenced by a range of genetic and environmental factors. Cellular damage caused by oxidative stress, immunesenescence, and genetic factors all contribute to the development of age-related diseases. While aging is a natural and inevitable process, interventions such as calorie restriction, exercise, and pharmaceutical agents can slow the aging process and delay the onset of age-related diseases.

- Abstract
The aim and vision of incorporating telemedicine and virtual care in the healthcare system were to provide optimum healthcare, which facilitated addressing long waiting hours and the threat of disease progression in social distancing, assistance to hospitals, and clinics. Decrease in real-time visits to the medical centers and minimizing one-on-one interchange between doctors and their cases, virtual treatment, and assessment of solutions reducethe transmission of potent microbiological agents and shield medical practitioners from disorders. Telemedicine and telehealth have also successfully managed important acute respiratory infections like Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). With the advent of COVID-19, canceling and postponing many in-person outpatient medical appointments have been common. In this book, we aimed to summarize applications, limitations, and guidelines for the use of telemedicine in medical departments.

- Abstract
According to experimental and clinical investigations the incubation period of the n-CoV-SARS2 ranges from 3–14 days henceforth, every case presenting for treatment should be managed as a potential asymptomatic infected patient. History regarding respiratory illness, international travel and/or, contact with COVID-19 cases should be reported in every patient sheet separately. All cases, as well as their attendants, should be monitored for COVID-19 before entering the emergency department. Any cases suspected of COVID-19 should be immediately separated while emergency management is being performed. All physicians/nurses/paramedical personnel are suggested to use surgical scrubs along with a plastic apron, face masks, and other protective instruments as necessary while in the triage unit. They should use PPE, N95 masks as well as a face visor while evaluating/intubating suspected or proven COVID-19 cases in the emergency. A dedicated operating room (OR) and the same anesthesia machine should only be applied for COVID-19 positive patients for the duration of the epidemic. The risk of aerosol dispersion is maximum during intubation, therefore it has been proposed that the whole face skin may be covered by a transparent sheet and the hands may be inserted under the sheet to intubate the cases, while the edges should be stuck to the surface. Alternatively, the application of a transparent Perspex square box has been proposed which is placed over the patient's head and has two ports for the anesthesiologist to insert his/her arm so that the whole intubation may be conducted inside the box. A preferred guideline is the application of a separate room for intubation and then bringing the case to the OR, so the risk is reduced to the surrounding health care provider.

- Abstract
Telemedicine is most common defined as the delivery of medical care by electronic communication between a health care provider and a subject needing medical assistance at different regions. The earliest application of telemedicine dates back to the 1940s, but only recently has telemedicine undergone rapid improvements. The improved availability of broadband capabilities, Internet access, and technological advances make a condition that is trigger for expansion of this new mode of care in many aspects of medicine.

- Abstract
Objective: This article aimed to analyze upper endoscopic findings in the HIV patient population to elucidate the upper-gastrointestinal complications related to HIV infection. Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders in individuals living with HIV/AIDS exhibit diverse and often nonspecific manifestations, imposing substantial morbidity and mortality burdens. Endoscopic evaluation with biopsies is essential in the diagnosis and management of these conditions. Delayed treatment due to undetected GI abnormalities during endoscopic examinations can lead to poorer health outcomes., Methods: This systematic review has determined the findings of upper-GI endoscopy of HIV-infected patients. Online databases of PubMed, Web of Science, Jisc Library Hub Discover, and Library of Congress have been searched using relevant keyword combinations. We have retrieved all the pertinent papers and reports published in English and screened them against inclusion/exclusion criteria for data extraction in two steps. First, titles/abstracts have been evaluated and then full-text screening has been performed by independent researchers. This study has adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist., Results: In this review, 24 articles have been included in the final analysis. The study has focused on the characteristics of participants and the findings of endoscopic evaluations. The participants of the study have been HIV-positive patients, and the majority of them have undergone endoscopy due to gastrointestinal symptoms. The biopsy regions primarily targeted have been observed to be the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. The most common result of the biopsy specimens has been chronic active gastritis., Conclusion: To improve clinical practice, this systematic review sought to provide an up-to-date reference for upper gastrointestinal endoscopic findings of HIV-infected persons. Our results are in line with earlier research showing how effective endoscopy is for determining a precise diagnosis and directing care. The majority of HIV patients with gastrointestinal symptoms have been found to have opportunistic infections and persistent active gastritis as well as mucosal abnormalities of the upper gastrointestinal tract. Studies have shown that endoscopic and histological assessment can aid in the early detection and management of issues involving the upper gastrointestinal tract., (Copyright© Bentham Science Publishers; For any queries, please email at epub@benthamscience.net.)

- Abstract
Introduction: Currently, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is posing a challenge to health systems worldwide. Unfortunately, the true number of infections is underestimated due to the existence of a vast number of asymptomatic infected individual's proportion. Detecting the actual number of COVID-19-affected patients is critical in order to treat and prevent it. Sampling of such populations, so-called hidden or hard-to-reach populations, is not possible using conventional sampling methods. The objective of this research is to estimate the hidden population size of COVID-19 by using respondent-driven sampling (RDS) methods., Methods: This study is a systematic review. We have searched online databases of PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, and Cochrane to identify English articles published from the beginning of December 2019 to December 2022 using purpose-related keywords. The complete texts of the final chosen articles were thoroughly reviewed, and the significant findings are condensed and presented in the table., Results: Of the 7 included articles, all were conducted to estimate the actual extent of COVID-19 prevalence in their region and provide a mathematical model to estimate the asymptomatic and undetected cases of COVID-19 amid the pandemic. Two studies stated that the prevalence of COVID-19 in their sample population was 2.6% and 2.4% in Sierra Leone and Austria, respectively. In addition, four studies stated that the actual numbers of infected cases in their sample population were significantly higher, ranging from two to 50 times higher than the recorded reports., Conclusions: In general, our study illustrates the efficacy of RDS in the estimation of undetected asymptomatic cases with high cost-effectiveness due to its relatively trouble-free and low-cost methods of sampling the population. This method would be valuable in probable future epidemics., (Copyright© Bentham Science Publishers; For any queries, please email at epub@benthamscience.net.)

- Abstract
Introduction: Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, face masks have been among the cornerstones of COVID-19 prevention. Therefore, evaluating their preventive effects against COVID-19 is crucial. This review aimed to systematically search for the systematic review articles that explored the role of various types of face masks in preventing COVID-19., Methods: We browsed the keywords of this study in the online databases of Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Cochrane on 10th January 2023 and retrieved all the relevant systematic review articles. The records were downloaded into an Endnote file, and the duplicates were removed. A two-step screening process consisting of title/abstract and full-text screenings was conducted to select the most relevant articles. To ensure the validity and reliability of the results, this study adhered to the PRISMA protocol., Results: A total of 28 systematic reviews were included in this review. Most studies found that face masks are beneficial against viral respiratory infections, such as COVID-19. Different types of masks were evaluated in included studies. It appeared that mask efficacy depends on the material, layers, fitting on the face and user compliance. N 95 respirator had maximum efficacy, especially when used continuously., Conclusion: Face masks have a beneficial effect against COVID-19. Home masks are less protective than surgical masks or N95 personal breathing masks. Besides, the use of masks may elicit a false sense of security in people, which may lead to poor hand hygiene and violation of social distancing. Therefore, the necessary training should be provided to the public to increase awareness and encourage the right practice of using the mask, emphasizing the preventive effects of washing hands, social distancing, and using a face mask against COVID-19., (Copyright© Bentham Science Publishers; For any queries, please email at epub@benthamscience.net.)

- Abstract
Introduction: Earlier reports described the possibility of higher SARS-CoV-2 infection and severity in patients with hematological malignancies. Given the importance and incidence of these malignancies, we aimed to systematically review SARS-CoV-2 infection and severity in patients with hematologic cancers., Methods: We retrieved the relevant records by searching the keywords in online databases of PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Scopus on December 31st, 2021. A two-step screening; title/abstract and full-text screening, was employed to select the eligible studies. These eligible studies entered the final qualitative analysis. The study is adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist to ensure the reliability and validity of the results., Results: Forty studies concerning different hematologic malignancies and the effect of COVID-19 infection on them were included in the final analysis. The findings showed that in general, the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection and the severity of the disease are often higher in hematologic malignancies and the patients could experience higher morbidity and mortality compared to general populations., Conclusion: It appeared that individuals with hematologic malignancies are more vulnerable to COVID-19 infection and they experience more severe disease with higher mortality rates. The presence of other comorbidities could also deteriorate this situation. Further investigation is recommended to evaluate the outcome of COVID-19 infection in different subtypes of hematologic malignancies., (Copyright© Bentham Science Publishers; For any queries, please email at epub@benthamscience.net.)
