Prof. Zahid discussed the prevalence, symptoms, and management of Post-COVID Syndrome, emphasizing the importance of early identification. Prof. Saera highlighted the issue of osteoporosis, focusing on its impact on the elderly population and advocating for its inclusion as a reportable disease. She also stressed the importance of Vitamin-D and Calcium supplementation in children and teenagers to prevent future morbidity. The conference also included discussions on cancer burden and pandemic challenges. [Extracted from the article]

Modern methods of rehabilitation of patients with chronic pulmonary pathology are becoming increasingly important, given the growing number of people suffering from such diseases. This work explores various approaches to the rehabilitation of patients with chronic pulmonary pathology, such as bronchial asepsis, physical rehabilitation, drug treatment, respiratory gymnastics and psychological support. The authors also consider the role of multidisciplinary healthcare teams in providing optimal care and rehabilitation for these patients. The article presents the results of research supporting the effectiveness of various rehabilitation methods, as well as assesses the limitations and challenges faced by patients and medical professionals in the rehabilitation of chronic lung diseases. The conclusions emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and an integrated approach to the treatment of patients with chronic pulmonary pathology. This is an important area of medicine that requires constant improvement and cooperation between medical specialists of different disciplines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: Field trips to disaster-affected areas (FTDAs) without a specific purpose, such as medical cooperation, are widely used in medical education. However, what medical students gain from FTDAs remains unclear. The present study aimed to clarify what medical students gain from FTDAs. Five medical students who had visited the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan participated in a semi-structured group interview to ask what they gained from such a visit. The narratives were analysed using open coding. Results: The following four themes emerged: "Spirit of scientific inquiry", "Foundation for lifelong education and personal growth", "Broadened understanding of the medical profession", and "Importance of practicing medicine in the community setting". The ambiguity of medical students' specific roles in the field trip compared to the fieldwork may have encouraged them to make sense of the experience from their perspective. As a result, students may have gained a broader perspective of their future work and career through the FTDA. If medical educators can gain consensus from the residents of a disaster site, different disaster-affected areas can be potential sites for medical education using FTDAs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Trust-related issues have attracted much attention from researchers recently. In the studies on trust, little attention has been paid to its interrelations with cooperativity and reliability. This paper sheds light on the relationship among trust, cooperation, and reliability in a medical context. Through a discourse analysis of the conversations between doctors and patients (including the patients' relatives) in China, this paper finds that: (i) cooperativity will not directly lead to trust in a medical context; (ii) being cooperative or using strategies to disclaim responsibility will lead to high reliability and will indirectly construct trust; (iii) reliability is a premise for trust in the medical context, and it can be repaired through rapport management strategies, such as empathy discourse if that reliability has been broken down. The research findings in this paper possess both theoretical and practical signifi- cance because they will refresh our understanding of the interrelationship among trust, cooperation, and reliability and contribute to the maintenance or enhancement of trust relations between doctors and patients.

The article focuses on Cuba's medical cooperation globally, particularly in the Pacific, and New Zealand's involvement and contributions. Topics discussed include the impact of Cuban doctors in the Pacific region, New Zealand's support for Cuban medical training programs, and potential future collaborations between Cuba and New Zealand in healthcare, including vaccine development.

Korean medical personnel migrated across the globe since 1964, including Africa. However, analyses of the transnational nature of Korean medicine have largely focused on the influence of Korea as a recipient, particularly the United States. This study attempts to understand the formation of Korean medicine in a wider geographical space, beyond the entrenched dichotomy of donor and recipient countries, which has often been centered on the United States or Japan. This paper examines how the diplomatic competition between North and South Korea unfolded in the geopolitical context of the Cold War and how medicine was mobilized to achieve its goals. In the 1960s, medical diplomacy was effective in establishing diplomatic relations and gaining the cooperation of recipient ‘Third World’ countries. In the 1970s, however, South Korea's episodic medical aid was no longer well-received in the face of aggressive North Korean aid, and South Korean medical missions became more of an ‘export’ rather than ‘cooperation’.

Trust is the most important prerequisite for the emergence and effectiveness of interorganisational innovation cooperation, due to uncertainty and contract incompleteness. Nevertheless, little attention has been paid to the question of whether the trust of principals in a cooperation depends on different preconditions than that of agents. Based on a sample of 364 scientists from 100 German publicly funded interdisciplinary cooperations in medical research, we find that the trust of principals mainly depends on their partners' reputation of ability, whereas the trust of agents on their partners' reputation of benevolence. Surprisingly, culture- and personality-related factors prove to be ineffective. These results are of major relevance for the trust generation in innovation cooperation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
