The corona pandemic is currently the greatest challenge for health systems of all countries worldwide. The timely detection of the disease and the immediate separation and isolation of suspected cases make asignificant contribution to breaking the chain of infection.
 
  Based on the first 35patients admitted to the hospital with COVID-19, we evaluated the various symptoms with which patients presented.
 
  The majority of patients have respiratory symptoms (e.g., cough and reduced peripheral oxygen saturation) and fever. In individual patients, however, there may only be other symptoms, e.g., gastrointestinal, neurological, or nonspecific symptoms.

Herein we report that 5-imidazolyl-uracil can be obtained by scalable Van Leusen imidazole synthesis and regioselectively introduced on ribose to obtain the desired nucleoside in a 5 step synthesis (total yield 55%). The 5-imidazolyl moiety leads to improved fluorescence properties. The only side-product formed was characterized by 2D-NMR and X-ray crystallography and could be suppressed during synthesis in favor of the desired product.The aim of this research is to develop a fusion concept to component-based face recognition algorithms for features analysis of binary facial components (BFCs), which are invariant to illumination, expression, pose variations and partial occlusion. To analyze the features, using statistical pattern matching concepts, which are the combination of Chi-square (CSQ), Hu moment invariants (HuMIs), absolute difference probability of white pixels (AbsDifPWPs) and geometric distance values (GDVs) have been proposed for face recognition. The individual grayscale face image is cropped by applying the Viola-Jones face detection algorithm from a face database having variations in illumination, appearance, pose and partial occlusion with complex backgrounds. Doing illumination correction through histogram linearization technique, the grayscale face components such as eyes, nose and mouth regions are extracted using the 2D geometric positions. The binary face image is created by applying cumulative probability distribution function with Otsu adaptive thresholding method and then extracted BFCs such as eyes, nose and mouth regions. Five statistical pattern matching tools such as the standard deviation of CSQ values with probability of white pixels (PWPs), standard deviation of HuMIs with Hu's seven moment invariants, AbsDifPWPs and GDVs are developed for recognition purpose. GDVs are determined between two similar facial corner points (FCPs) and nine FCPs are extracted from binary whole face and BFCs. Pixel Intensity Values (PIVs) which are determined using L2 norms from grayscale values of the whole face and grayscale values of the face components. Experiment is performed using BioID Face Database on the basis of these pattern matching tools and appropriate threshold values with logical and conditional operators and gives the best expected results from true positive rate perspective.In this paper, we propose a color reproduction method using color charts to improve the color quality of a telemedicine system. Owing to the spread of COVID-19, the need for telemedicine is rapidly increasing to prevent infections more effectively. However, in practices such as traditional Japanese (Kampo) medicine, where color is used as an important examination factor, an accurate diagnosis cannot be made without adequate color reproduction. In telemedicine using a commercially available smartphone, color reproducibility may deteriorate owing to differences in the devices and lighting, which may result in a misdiagnosis. Therefore, we created a color chart that includes the colors of the human skin and tongue as a tool to help doctors identify the color of patients more accurately when conducting a telemedicine examination. Through a subjective evaluation by eight medical doctors, it was unanimously found that the proposed method is practical in terms of a color examination. The developed color chart can also be used for an automatic color correction.When providing sleep medical services special aspects must be taken into account in the context of the coronavirus pandemic. Despite all prevention, due to the high number of unrecognized cases, SARS-CoV2 contacts in the sleep laboratory must be expected and appropriate precautions are necessary. Nevertheless, the continuation or resumption of sleep medical services under the appropriate hygiene measures is strongly recommended to avoid medical and psychosocial complications. There is no evidence for a deterioration of COVID-19 through CPAP therapy. In principle, the application of positive pressure therapy via various mask systems can be accompanied by the formation of infectious aerosols. In the case of confirmed infection with SARS-CoV2, a pre-existing PAP therapy should be continued in an outpatient setting in accordance with the local guidelines for home isolation, since discontinuation of PAP therapy is associated with additional cardiopulmonary complications due to the untreated sleep-related breathing disorder. According to the current state of knowledge inhalation therapy, nasal high-flow (NHF), and PAP therapy can be carried out without increased risk of infection for health care workers (HCW) as long as appropriate personal protective equipment (eye protection, FFP2 or FFP-3 mask, gown) is being used.This position paper of the German Society for Pneumology and Respiratory Medicine (DGP) and the German Society for Sleep Medicine (DGSM) offers detailed recommendations for the implementation of sleep medicine diagnostics and therapy in the context of the coronavirus pandemic.
