A rapid antigen test (RAT) or rapid antigen detection test (RADT), is a
rapid diagnostic test suitable for point-of-care testing that directly detects the
presence of an antigen. It is used to detect SARS-CoV-2 that cause COVID-19.
This test is one of the type of lateral flow tests that detect protein, differentiate
it from other medical tests such as antibody tests or nucleic acid tests, of either
laboratory or point-of-care types.

There are various forms of chemicals and drugs that may affect renal function
in various mechanism including acute tubular necrosis (ATN), tubulopathy and

Autistic children have not withdrawn from reality due
to some mental illness, rather they have failed to come out in reality
due to a serious, and to a large extent, developmental disorder. As a
result, autism is not currently considered psychosis, but is classified
as a pervasive developmental disorder.

The trisomy 18 syndrome was first reported by Edwards et al in 1960,
also known as Edwards syndrome. It is the second most common autosomal
chromosomal disorder after trisomy 21(Down’s syndrome)due to the presence
of an extra chromosome 18, which has three basic types: complete, mosaic
and partial type.

Charcot Arthropathy is a serious but rare progressive condition that can
affect 0.15 – 2.5% of diabetic patients especially those who developed peripheral
neuropathy. Despite the voluminous work reported in literature on CA, very few
studies mention the prevalence of this disabling disease. The actual incidence
of CA may be greater than what is reported, as in many cases, the clinicians
fail to diagnose or are late to diagnose this serious complication.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of genetic blood disorders that leads to
abnormality in hemoglobin. In patients with SCD, newer medical treatments
have improved survival rates and quality of life along with a reduced disease-
related morbidity. Consequently, the focus of the treatment is diverging to
encompass the reproductive issues associated with these treatments.

Italian hospitals in the late Middle Ages already offered much more than a
simple reception and care. In a work that can be consulted in the Laurentian
Library in Florence, datable about 1300, painter Gaddi shows a series of
hospitalized people. Already the representation is not very sad perhaps due
to the lack of modern white walls and patients appear regularly placed in beds
with acts of assistance and care.

Lower back pain is a collective musculoskeletal illness affecting the overall
population although frequency of back pain and dysfunction take place with
aging. The previous research advocates that LBP occurrence increasingly takes
place with aging and incidence may be recognized to work-related physical
activities too. Population-based studies have indicated that LBP remains global
concern thus it challenges every nation. The occurrence of LBP is 84%[1] as this
common condition affecting individual at some point in their live consequently
seen in both primary and tertiary care clinical settings.
