There is no evidence to suggest that children are more likely to catch COVID-19 (coronavirus infection). This means children are not more susceptible to this disease. In fact, most of the confirmed cases reported for COVID-19 infection from Wuhan, China were in adults.
SARS or severe acute respiratory syndrome is a rapidly spreading and potentially fatal viral disease that appeared first time in Southern China (2002) and then spread to more than 24 countries. In March 2003, SARS was recognized as a global threat by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Cushing’s syndrome occurs when there is an abnormal production of cortisol hormone in the body. Chronic exposure to excess glucocorticoid levels results in the signs and symptoms of this disease. Due to the occurrence of comorbidities, Cushing’s syndrome is associated with increased mortality and impaired quality of life. There are many complications associated with Cushing’s syndrome such as metabolic syndrome, musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular disorders, skin-related disorders, etc.
Peripheral neuropathy is the most common form of diabetic neuropathy that mostly affects the legs and feet first and then moves to the arms and hands. It progresses over many years and worsens over time. Diabetic neuropathy often presents symptoms like numbness, tingling or pain (diabetic nerve pain) in fingers, toes, hands, and feet.
Changes in kidney function and structure are found even at the beginning of diabetes mellitus. Studies performed over the last decade now help in the recognizing various stages of diabetic renal diseases and also in the development of renal changes that occur due to diabetes. Such a classification may be helpful for both clinical as well as research purposes.
Diabetic nephropathy is a serious kidney-related complication of diabetes, and is also called diabetic kidney disease. Almost 40 % of people with diabetes ultimately develop kidney disease. Diabetic nephropathy interferes with the ability of kidneys to do their usual work of removing waste products and extra fluids from the body.
Diabetes-associated kidney diseases are not uncommon for diabetic people. It is found that an early diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy can help in stopping diabetic kidney disease and the associated damage. However, if the disease persists for a long time, its reversal is not possible. Diabetic kidney disease or diabetic nephropathy happens when the blood vessels and other cells present in the kidneys get damaged due to diabetes.
Diabetic nephropathy is one of the common complications of diabetes. Management of diabetes can help in preventing diabetic nephropathy (DN) and avoid other complications. Your diet plays an important role in the overall management of diabetes and prevention of associated complications such as diabetic nephropathy.
The term sinusitis often describes the inflammation of the sinuses. Sometimes the linings of the ducts or tubes that connect the sinuses to the back of the nose become inflamed and therefore fail to drain the fluid. The buildup of this infectious fluid in the sinuses creates pressure within theses blocked sinuses. As a result, the inflamed sinuses fail to drain this fluid and create pressure within the sinus cavity, which ultimately results in severe sinus pain or sinus headache.
