SINGAPORE - Some 45 paediatricians have teamed up to provide free telemedicine care for children with Covid-19, to ease the load off hospitals and designated telemedicine providers for home recovery. The doctors have been handling 100 to 200 cases a day since Oct 8, including those on scheduled follow-up during the home recovery programme (HRP). This initiative comes after the Government announced on Oct 9 that home recovery will be the default for children aged between five and 11, since the Ministry of Health (MOH) found that Covid-19 is not a serious illness among the vast majority of them. Parents earlier told The Straits Times that they would prefer their children to receive medical attention at a hospital due to the lack of tailored telemedicine options for children. But now they will be getting calls from one of 45 doctors specialising in the care of children, who are authorised by MOH to provide telemedicine support. Dr Darryl Lim, a consultant paediatrician at Kinder ... » Learn More about Paediatricians give free telemedicine care for children on Covid-19 home recovery

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a degenerative neurological disorder that affects movement. The most commonly known symptoms of PD are related to movements, such as tremors, stiff movement, and gait and postural changes. In PD, there are other non-motor symptoms as well, such as pain. Pain is one of the most frequent non-movement related complaints in patients who have PD, affecting 68 per cent to 95 per cent of patients across all stages of the disease, according to an article in the American Journal of Managed Care. In PD, the type, timing, and location of the pain vary from individual to individual. This could also depend on the person's pre-existing condition before PD started as well. Some individuals do not experience early onset of pain when their PD started, but experience it later as the disease progresses. It is important to identify the cause of pain, and differentiate whether the pain experienced by the person with PD is due to the PD, or other factors, such as ageing ... » Learn More about Managing pain in Parkinson’s disease

When the pandemic blues crop up, everyone has their own way to deal. In Britain, library visitors and staff of course turned to books for comfort. And certain novels, in particular by George Orwell and Rumaan Alam, were particular go-tos during this challenging period. British association Libraries Connected asked more than 400 librarians and "bookworms" to choose the novel that meant the most to them during the pandemic. Among the top choices are classics of English-language literature such as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Thomas Hardy's Tess Of The d'Urbervilles and J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord Of The Rings. Others, such as Charlie Mackesy's The Boy, The Mole, The Fox And The Horse, J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone and Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series, demonstrate a craving for escapism. All of which was no surprise to Isobel Hunter, chief executive of Libraries Connected.
