This conversation between a feminist and a critical whiteness scholar addresses the politics of vulnerability to COVID-19 and the questions of what it means to mobilize and learn from private grief and mass mourning and the role of academia and intellectuals in the current crisis.COVID 19 has highlighted with lethal force the need to re-imagine and re-design the provisioning of human resources for health, starting from the reality of our radical interdependence and concern for global health and justice. Starting from the structured health injustice suffered by migrant workers during the pandemic and its impact on the health of others in both destination and source countries, I argue here for re-structuring the system for educating and distributing care workers around what I call a global ecological ethic. Rather than rely on a system that privileges nationalism, that is unjust, and that sustains and even worsens injustice, including health injustice, and that has profound consequences for global health, a global ecological ethic would have us see health as interdependent and aim at "ethical place-making" across health ecosystems to enable people everywhere to have the capability to be healthy.Various models have been used to "emplot" our collective experience of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the epidemiological curve, threshold models, and narrative. Drawing on a threshold model that was designed to frame resource-allocation decisions in clinical care, I offer an ethical justification for taking caring responsibilities into consideration in such decisions during pandemics. My basic argument is that we should prioritize the survival of patients with caring responsibilities for similar reasons we should prioritize the survival of healthcare professionals. More generally, the pandemic reveals the fundamental importance of informal care and affords an opportunity to raise questions of justice relating to it.Although one can argue that they do not represent a radical departure from existing practices, protocols for reverse triage certainly step beyond what is ordinarily done in medicine and healthcare. Nevertheless, there seems to be some degree of moral concern regarding the ethical legitimacy of practicing reverse triage in the context of a pandemic. Such concern can be taken as a reflection of the moral antipathy some exhibit towards current practices of withdrawing treatment-that is, when withdrawal of treatment is arguably in the best interests of patients-and a rejection of the purported normative insignificance of withholding and withdrawing. Given that the relevance of the psychological attitudes of some healthcare professionals to the moral assessment of withdrawing and withholding treatment continues to be debated, it would seem that some thought should be given to the introduction and implementation of reverse triage decisions in response to a pandemic. This brief paper will consider if provision should be made for healthcare professionals to conscientiously refuse to participate in reverse triage.This paper examines the role of bioethics in the successful control of COVID-19 in New Zealand. After the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus episode in Toronto researchers developed a framework of values and principles to articulate values that were already commonly accepted "in the community of its intended users," to be used to inform decision-making. New Zealand subsequently developed its own framework that was embedded in its Pandemic Influenza Plan. These formed the basis of the New Zealand response to COVID-19.

Tuberculosis (TB)can affect sleep and can predispose patients to chronic diseases like diabetes mellitus. On the other hand, sleep deprivation and diabetes mellitus can worsen tuberculosis. The aim of this study was to assess sleep quality, to estimate the prevalence of poor sleepers and those at risk for restless legs syndrome (RLS) and to evaluate the knowledge and practices regarding sleep hygiene among patients diagnosed with TB.

In a cross-sectional study, a semi-structured questionnaire was administered to patients diagnosed with TB in Bengaluru, India. The questionnaire was comprised ofsections including demography, knowledge and practice regarding sleep hygiene, the international restless leg study group consensus diagnostic criteria to diagnose RLS, the Pittsburgh sleep quality index, the Epworth sleepiness scale, and history of adverse drug reactions (ADRs).

Of 206 participants enrolled, 125 men (61%),mean (SD) age was 41.0 (16.2) years, and 121 (59%) had pulmonary TB while the remaining 85 (41%) had extrapulmonary TB.The prevalence (95% confidence intervals) of poor quality sleeperswas 17% (12,23%), those with poor knowledge of sleep hygiene(< 6 marks)33% (27, 40%), those at risk for RLS 32% (26, 39%),and those with excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) 12% (8, 17%).

Prevalence of poor quality sleepers and those at risk for RLS are higher than normal population, thus making sleep quality assessment important in patients diagnosed with TB. Prevalence of those at risk for EDS was comparable to normal population.

Epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR) are overexpressed on > 90% of pancreatic cancers (PnCa) and represent an attractive target for the development of novel therapies, including radioimmunotherapy (RIT). Our aim was to study RIT of subcutaneous (s.c.) PANC-1 human PnCa xenografts in mice using the anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody, panitumumab labeled with Auger electron (AE)-emitting,
