I have received the following polite email request from Medical Research Archives, European Society of Medicine a number of times.
Is it legitimate? Would you mind sharing your thoughts if you have any experience of this kind? Thanks
Dear Dr. Yegnanew A. Shiferaw,
If you have a few minutes I wanted to discuss your COVID-19 research. I am serving as the editor of a special theme issue on Advancements in COVID-19 which will be released by the European Society of Medicine next year and I was thinking that something related to your work on "Regime shifts in the COVID-19 case fatality rate dynamics: A Markov-switching autoregressive model analysis" would be interesting to include in the issue. Perhaps you could tell me more about your research in this area.
This could be in the form of a research article or even a review article.
Might this be a possibility?
Sincerely,

Should i add a coauthor who is certified in Data science or CS? ... if not, Would it be necessary to prove my competency in ML by any means?
Relevant answer
Answer
Publishing on a particular area does not require one to necessarily have a certificate in that area. However, if you find yourself to be inadequately equipped with the requisite knowledge to do a good job in that specific field, you may overcome that by collaborating with someone with that knowledge so that together you can bring out a very good and scientific work.

I started my studies on histology and I realized most of well established text-books don't use scale bars in their images, except the books of the American-German Thieme Publishing Group. I think it is a lack of technical rigorosity, even though most of books treat the issue only on a qualitative point of view. So, what do you think about that? Should the publishers in that area change their concept to increase their accuracy?
Relevant answer
(only one point). maybe there is a difference to state how the image was made and how the scale could be, even though the scale bar is almost approximately at the same level each time. STM, (scanneling Tuning Microscope, false colour, the blacvk and white images, maybe the microscope taken with this 10x, objectives, and so on.All these give ideas on how the scale bars are.... even though I think it is ignored data.

It's 99 days since the first case of COVID-19 in Hong Kong, and we are welcoming the 5th days of 0 new cases of COVID-19 following a week of <10 cases per day.
How should we define the end of a local endemic?
How long should the latent period be defined?
When is it safe to resume social activities?
Should territory wide screening of asymptomatic people be done before declaring the end of endemic?
Relevant answer
Answer
The SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic is a global epidemic. On a global scale, the state of the pandemic in March 2020 was announced by the World Health Organization. Therefore, this organization could declare the end of the pandemic. On the other hand, the end of the epidemic on a regional, national or local scale can be announced by national central institutions of the health care system, including the ministries of health, in agreement with the government. In order to be able to declare the end of the epidemic on a national, regional or local scale, it is necessary to have a relatively large decrease in the number of new coronavirus infections, a decrease in the number of people seriously ill with Covid-19 disease and deaths caused by this disease. The decrease in Coronavirus infections and in sick people should be sustained in a longer period, i.e. min. several months, taking into account the periods of possible occurrence of subsequent epidemic waves caused by new variants of the Coronavirus and occurring in other regions of the world. In addition, an important factor that may be taken into account in the event of declaring the end of a pandemic on a global scale or an epidemic on a regional scale will be the level of vaccination of citizens with highly effective vaccines against Coronavirus and the level of social, collective immunity of the society achieved thanks to these vaccines.

Dear seniors and researchers,
Briefly introducing myself, I am a fourth year medical student from Indonesia. Currently, I am performing a multiple logistic regression on several possible factors affecting medical student preference toward distance learning in this pandemic era. Honestly, it is my first time in using logistic regression in my work, and I might encounter several confusing issues regarding this statistical procedure. I have selected 14 eligible covariates for multiple logistic regression according to its significant p-value (0.000) during their simple logistic regression. After including all of those 14 covariates to the model, the ExpB (odds ratio) of all 14 covariates become insignificant despite decent model (Good result of Omnibus test, R-squared, and Holmer and Lemeshow test). All of statistical procedure were performed in SPSS ver 22.
Regarding this issue, what should I do in responding those finding? Is it correct to interpret that there were no significant relationship between all of 14 covariates and dependent variable (student preference toward distance learning) simultaneously? Or is there any suggestion of appropriate technical steps in conducting multiple regression analysis?

I found a reference to this distinction on pub med that dates to the 70s. Efficacy is how well a treatment or intervention works in ideal circumstances. Effectiveness is how well a treatment or intervention works in normal practice. Although there are many references to this distinction and discussions of why it occurs, nobody seem to mention the origins of this distinction. Furthermore, this distinction seems more accepted in general medicine than in behavioral health.
Relevant answer
Answer
Efficiency, efficacy and effectiveness: What is the difference between this triad of words? Peter Drucker - considered the father of modern administration - establishes a series of fundamental distinctions between them, which gives us conceptual clarity. In a colloquial way they are known as "The three E's", but how does one "E" differ from the other two; Drucker is obliged to quote again, with the appearance of what he called “knowledge work”, thus we have: Efficacy + Efficiency = Effectiveness
Efficiency: doing things well. Carry out a task looking for the best possible relationship between the resources used and the results obtained. Efficiency has to do with the "how." The model for improving efficiency is based on three basic pillars: people, processes and customers. And it is achieved with competent people or with capacities, attitudes, aptitudes, abilities and experiences. Fast, effective and continuous flows of activities are needed that add value to the product or service for the client with efficient processes, analyzing said activities and quality.
Efficacy: doing the right things; carry out tasks in the best way, leading to the achievement of results. It has to do with "what" things are done. Effectiveness is doing what is necessary to achieve or achieve the desired or proposed objectives.
Effectiveness: doing the right things well. In other words, the tasks that are carried out are carried out efficiently and effectively. It has to do with "what" things are done and "how."

Ayurveda, TM of India, advises to avoid Curd intake in diseases that have Kapha dosha predominance like Diabetes, Respiratory problems; in diseases arising out of Raktha dusti (Blood tissue vitiation) like Skin diseases and also in conditions where the digestive fire (Agni) is weak like during Night time. Regarding this Curd advisory, Ayurveda has very clear fundamental concepts and the findings of which have also been noticed in clinical practice as well.
Here I want to know are there any other Traditional system of medicine which has similar or any other observation about Curd intake?
Relevant answer
Answer
Sir! in the ayurvedic text a wide description is available related to curd. use of curd in relation to seasons when to eat or when not to eat. it is also described when to eat on daily basis, with the mixing of other substances. these all are for healthy individuals.
in some cases it is contraindicated because of its property.,
I don't think such a huge description will be available in other traditional medicines.

Relevant answer
Answer
Initially, the main treatment was laser treatment to coagulate leaking retinal blood vessels. Today, intravitreal injections from the group of anti-VEGF drugs are standard in the treatment of both macular edema and diabetic retinopathy. The injections are given after local anesthesia with drops through the sclera and are completely painless. Treatment is carried out monthly for several months or years. With the help of these injections, better results are achieved than after laser treatment because the laser also damages the surrounding healthy tissue. Improvement of vision is often achieved, and not only stabilization of existing vision. After improving vision with injections, the treatment is supplemented with classic laser treatment, which then permanently preserves the existing condition. In our Clinic we have the most modern laser photocoagulator Pascal which is significantly less painful

RNA vaccines follow a different strategy, without using any "real" component of the virus at all.

Relevant answer
Answer
To answer the question, I think it is good to realise that there are basically two publishing models: subscription-based (most of the time free of charge for you but for readers the papers are behind a paywall) and open access (free for readers but most of the times they charge you as an author). The confusing thing is that more and more subscription-based journal are so-called hybrid journals. If you choose the open access option this is extremely expensive, however you are fully free not choosing this option. See for example: https://www.elsevier.com/journals/nonlinear-analysis-hybrid-systems/1751-570x/open-access-options
If you are (still) looking for free open access journals (with serious indexing like Scopus and/or SCIE index) you might have a look at: https://www.researchgate.net/post/Scientific_Journals_with_Open_Access_and_no_APC_free_charges_for_authors
For subscription-based journals (most of the time free of costs) you can check: https://www.scopus.com/sources.uri?zone=TopNavBar&origin=searchbasic for Scopus indexed journals. And for either ESCI or SCIE (SSCI) indexed journals you can check: https://mjl.clarivate.com/home

The triangular theory of love by Sternberg, characterises love in an interpersonal relationship using three different dimensions: intimacy, passion, and commitment.According to this theory different stages and types of love can be categorised by different combinations of these three elements. My question is this: does this model fully capture the essense of what we call love. Can love not also have other attributes, we can have feelings of love towards a person without having either commitment, passion or intimacy, some people are asexual for example and lack commitment, others such as teenagers lack the understanding of what love is. Do you agree with this theory or do you like me see problems associated with such a sharp division of element of human affects. Best wishes Henrik
Relevant answer
Answer
For a complete answer to this interesting question (without any desire for prominence or any petulance) you can read some of my contributions here in "RG", specifically the article "Desire and love: the unfinished man" in which the two "Triangular Models" on Love and ways to evaluate and measure them:
-That of John Lee, from the University of Toronto, which offers us a wide typology of the ways of loving, thus –based on a questionnaire to measure falling in love– has established three primary types of love that are quite independent from each other: - EROS , LUDUS and STORGE, Identifying three “pure” combinations of these primary types: MANIA, PRAGMA and AGAPE.
-And, above all, that of Sternberg in his "Triangular Theory of Love" that considers three primary components: INTIMACY, PASSION and COMMITMENT, one in each vertex of the triangle, thus giving rise to 7 possibilities: INTIMACY: Like, friendship and affection without commitment or passion. ROMANTIC LOVE: Intimacy plus passion, with feelings of proximity and outbursts of passion. PASSION: Love at first sight, fickleness, mental and physical excitement. FATUO OR FALSE LOVE: Passion plus commitment, lightning engagement and wedding before intimacy develops, which usually leads to failure- COMMITMENT: Decision that one loves another person without intimacy or passion, it is an empty love or of convenience. COMPANION LOVE: Commitment plus intimacy, it is a solid but not romantic friendship.
As expected, in real life all these elements are mixed, with COMPLETE or CONSUMED LOVE being the one that combines intimacy, passion and commitment, in the center of the triangle.

The extensive successful use in people of mRNA vaccines for Covid-19 suggests they mark a key scientific breakthrough with broad impacts. These breakthrough vaccines are notable for combining two advances examined for years in the laboratory: pseudouridine modified mRNA and its encapsulation in lipid nanoparticles. Pseudouridine has been used in nucleotides for years to stabilize and study key protein-nucleotide complexes (e.g. Parikh et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2000 May 9;97(10):5083-8. doi: 10.1073/pnas.97.10.5083. PMCID: PMC25785 ). In fact, Pseudouridine (Ψ) is the most abundant RNA modification and has been termed the 5th base of RNA (Front. Cell Dev. Biol., 16 March 2021 https://doi.org/10.3389/fcell.2021.628415). Similarly Lipid nanoparticles have been used and studied for over 20 years (e.g. Puri et al. Crit Rev Ther Drug Carrier Syst. 2009; 26(6): 523–580. PMCID: PMC2885142). Yet the combination of mRNA modification by N1-methylpseudouridine to increase safety and efficacy with lipid nanoparticles to encapsulate mRNA for its protection and delivery made the Covid-19 mRNA vaccines feasible. Importantly, this transformative combination seems applicable to other vaccines and approaches suggesting it is worth considering the many possible applications that may advance biotechnology and human health.

I have been working in the field of domain specific artificial intelligence and domain specific synthetic languages for several years. This is a very important question. I discussed this subject with a colleague just yesterday. A few notes from our discussion follows.
There are some jobs where a person’s eyes and hands must be free to perform their work, yet they must be able to communicate with other people and computer systems that help them perform that work. In some of these jobs, safety is most important.
Although systems like Alexa and Siri are already in wide use, they do not today provide the degree of reliability and safety that would be required for use in an emergency room or neonatal ICU.
In such cases, it would be prudent to a create a task specific synthetic language designed for communication between humans and computer systems while humans perform their work, and computers answers questions, provide information, control task specific equipment, and other functions, thereby enabling a person to perform their work with their hands and eyes free to focus on the task at hand.
In short summary this would require implementation of computer systems that are able to:
· reliably hear and process spoken words
· translate spoken words into human and machine-readable form (text)
· verify that the spoken words, in human and machine-readable, form comply with the specification (grammar) of the synthetic language
· determine what question or command has been voiced by the human,
· invoke the procedure that will answer the question, provide requested information, or perform the command using task specific equipment.
· reply in some audible or visible form if the spoken words were not recognized or if the spoken words in human and machine-readable form do not comply with the specification of the synthetic language, or if they are used in the wrong context.
For added safety, before such capability is put into use, it would be necessary to generate many requests and commands both correct and incorrect in their formation to verify that both correct and incorrect commands can be successfully categorized as such.
For added safety, before such capability is put into use, it would be necessary to generate many requests and commands and to verify that the correct procedures are invoked, and through simulation, verify that the procedures safely perform the intended action.
Simply stated, a synthetic language is a set of words and set of rules for how to create requests or commands using the words of that language that can be spoken by a human, recognized by a computer, properly interpreted by a computer, and safely translated into the intended actions.
