About 92% of the students are practicing preventive behaviors. Female senior students have higher percentages in regard to related knowledge and practicing preventive behaviors. Students who received education about Covid-19 and students perceived higher risk of infection were more adherent to preventive measures. There is a moderate correlation between related knowledge and practicing preventive behaviors. Medical students have good knowledge, practice preventive behaviors, and perceive risk of being infected. The direction to raise knowledge and awareness will enhance practicing preventive behaviors to control the disease.The COVID-19 infection has particularly affected older adults. Clinical observations in this population highlight major respiratory impairment associated with the development or aggravation of the patient's frailty state. Mr. P is a 93-year-old frail patient, hospitalized after a COVID-19 infection. The assessment process of this patient has been supported by an innovative multi-systemic tool developed in view of the COVID-19 clinical consequences and a systemic evaluation of motor functions by the Frail'BESTest. This process allowed a mixed clinical picture associated with significant respiratory distress (linked with acute respiratory distress syndrome) and an evident motor frailty. The care plan was developed accordingly, and four assessments were done in the same manner until Mr. P returned home. This case report allows us to see a holistic COVID-19 clinical picture, showing the different axes of clinical reasoning to enhance the rehabilitation process. Furthermore, this case report illustrates the importance of rehabilitation in the COVID-19 context.COVID-19 has had an unprecedented effect on healthcare with certain services being altered to minimise face-to-face contact. This aim of this project was to explore opinions on routine telephone consultations and whether they could be implemented as COVID pressures change. We randomly selected 100 patients who had a telephone consultation instead of their normal urological follow-up and posted them a questionnaire. We also compared the number of consultations and non-attendances with the pre-COVID era. Seventy percent of patients replied to the questionnaire, and 79% wanted to continue with telephone appointments. Eighty-two percent felt that despite COVID-19, their urological care was unaffected. Generally, the reason that telephone appointments were unacceptable for patients was a preference for face-to-face interaction. The majority expressed a lack of enthusiasm for potential video consultations with only 43% interested in this. Over 95% of patients who required investigations still had these tests performed. There was a reduction in patients who 'did not attend (DNAs)' from 7.5% prior to COVID-19 to 3% during the peak of the pandemic. This study has demonstrated our patients' satisfaction and acceptance of remote consultation and its efficiency in reducing missed appointments during the pandemic. It is now an option our patients can now choose as their mode of follow-up.D-dimer is a prognostic marker for Covid-19 disease mortality and severity in hospitalized patients; however, little is known about the association between D-dimer and other clinical outcomes. The aim of this paper was to define a threshold of D-dimer to use in hospitalized patients with Covid-19 and to assess its utility in prognosticating in-hospital mortality, development of an acute kidney injury (AKI), and need for hemodialysis, vasopressors, or intubation. This is a single-center, retrospective, cohort review study of 100 predominantly minority patients (94%) hospitalized with Covid-19. The electronic medical record system was used to collect data. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) and area under the curve (AUC) analysis were used to determine optimal thresholds of peak D-dimer, defined as the highest D-dimer obtained during admission that was clinically meaningful.
