Abstract: Adult-onset seizure disease is a huge public health issue around the world. Seizures that develop in adulthood necessitate extra care. This is because the etiology of those seizures are likely to be due to identifiable causes. The type of seizure must be determined in order to focus the diagnostic strategy on certain etiologies. This method is based on the clinical characteristics of seizures and the electroencephalographic results that go along with them. Adult seizures deserve special attention in terms of aetiology because they are more likely to be caused by a known cause. The main causative factors for adult onset seizures are trauma, central nervous system infections, brain tumors, stroke accidents, metabolic disorders and drugs. Advent of newer imaging modalities like CT Scan head MRI brain, EEG,Video EEG have revolutionized the diagnosis management of seizures....

Abstract: Background: The coronavirus pandemic has shaken the world with countless lives being lost and others devastated, economies destroyed, healthcare protocols overhauled while patients and healthcare workers are experiencing unprecedented levels of stress. SARS-Co-2 causes a viral infection that is highly infectious and vast in its transmission making its containment practically impossible. The biology, life cycle and pathogenesis of SARS-Co-2 virus is not clearly understood. There is no specific drug for COVID-19. Therapeutic approaches have been suggested such as nucleoside analogs like Remdesivir, anti-inflammatory drugs or Lopinavir/Ritonavir to treat COVID-19 but their clinical usefulness against COVID-19 infection remains unclear. Therefore, this review was designed to document the nature of SARS-Cov-2 virus, its structure, life cycle and pathogenicity and also to identify.........
