Authors: Abrosimov Vladimir N. , Ageeva Kira A. , Filippov Evgenii V.
Published: April 2021

Aim. To study the relationship between the indicators of dynamic capnography and pulse oximetry with the indicators of the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Materials and methods. 67 patients of both sexes were examined: 45 patients with COPD (age 60.02.74 years) and 25 patients of the control group (age 47.603.46 years). The study of the functional capabilities of the patients respiratory system was carried out before, during and after the 6MWT on the equipment LifeSense LS1-9R capnograph-pulse oximeter (MedAir AB). Results and discussion. In the comparison group, the parameters of dyspnea at rest were higher than the control group (p0.05), the spirometry indices were significantly lower (p0.05). Shortness of breath as a reason for stopping/slowing down the pace during the 6MWT was noted by patients of both groups (p0.05). When analyzing the PETCO2 trend graphs, periodic breathing (PВ) was revealed. In the group of patients with COPD, signs of PВ in the analysis of the PETCO2 trend were found in 80.95% (p0.05). Regression analysis of Cox proportional risks of mortality in patients with COPD revealed the prognostic value of the following parameters of a comprehensive assessment of the patient: body mass index (BMI), BODE index, dyspnea index on the mMRS scale, Borg, forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), index Tiffno, signs of PВ, distance 6MWT, signs of PВ and desaturation during 6MWT. At the same time, the total contribution of these indicators to the risk of a lethal event was assessed (p=0.003). Conclusion. When analyzing the correlation dependence, it was revealed that the presence of PВ was a prognostically unfavorable sign in patients with COPD. Predictors of an unfavorable course of COPD were BMI (23.0 kg/m2), BODE index, dyspnea indices on the mMRS, Borg, FEV1 scales, Tiffnos index, signs of PH, distance 6MST, signs of PD and desaturation during 6MST (reliability of the model coefficient p=0.003) in terms of forecast.

Aim. To assess the clinical course of the disease and the features of the treatment goals achievement in patients with IPAH and inoperable CTEPH depending on gender and age at the time of diagnosis verification.
Materials and methods. The study included 88 patients with IPAH and 38 patients with inoperable CTEPH with a PAWP 12 mm Hg and the duration of PAH-specific therapy treatment more than 12 months. IPAH/CTEPH patients were divided into groups depending on age at the time of diagnosis verification: age 50 years (n=69)/ 50 years (n=57), and gender: 106 women/20 men.
Results. Patients with age 50 years at the time of diagnosis verification have significantly more severe functional class (WHO). In IPAH/CTEPH male patients a significant hemodynamic disorder also as significantly higher level of NT-proBNP at the time of diagnosis verification were observed. In men with IPAH/CTEPH and patients aged 50 years more pronounced deterioration of right ventricular systolic function was observed (ECHO). Patients with IPAH younger than 50 years were significantly more likely to achieve the treatment goals by the median 26.5 months of treatment compared to the patients aged 50 years (21% vs 6.45%). Men with IPAH/CTEPH were significantly more likely to have a high risk of death (90%) at baseline compared to the women (61%).
Conclusion. IPAH/inoperable CTEPH patients with male sex, as well as the age 50 years and older at the time of diagnosis verification, compared with younger ones, are associated with a less favorable course of the disease.

Published: April 2021

The analysis of the mechanisms of the formation of a rare clinical combination of pulmonary embolism (PE) and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH), which are complications of systemic vasculitis associated with antibodies to the cytoplasm of neutrophils (primarily granulomatosis with polyangiitis), systemic lupus erythematosus and secondary antiphlogistic syndrome primary antiphospholipid syndrome and Goodpastures syndrome. Taking into account the chronological sequence of the occurrence of PE and DAH, 3 variants of the onset of these potentially fatal additions to the underlying disease were considered: the anticipatory DAH development of PE, delayed from DAH PE and joint (within 24 hours) formation of PE and DAH. A review of single descriptions of such a combination of complications of granulomatosis with polyangiitis is carried out, criteria are indicated, a working classification of severity is given and, taking this into account, a modern program of therapy for DAH as an independent event and in combination with PE.

Published: April 2021

The combined course of bronchial asthma (BA) and obesity is one of the urgent medical and social problems that requires a comprehensive and careful study in connection with a decrease in the quality of life of such patients, an increase in the frequency, duration of hospitalization and a high economic burden for the state as a whole. The relationship between BA and obesity is now confirmed by numerous studies, at the same time, despite the variability of the proposed mechanisms of pathogenetic effects of obesity on asthma, metabolic aspects of the relationship of these diseases need further study. Adipose tissue hormones are responsible for the energy homeostasis of the body therefore, excessive accumulation of adipose tissue is accompanied by the development of an imbalance in metabolic processes in various organs and tissues. Due to the emergence of new scientific data on the role and function of adipokines in the body, metabolic effects of adipokines are considered in the focus of their pathophysiological association with obesity and asthma. This literary review highlights the current understanding of the role of metabolic effects of the most studied adipokines (resistin, retinol-binding protein, leptin and adiponectin) in the development of obesity and BA. Gender and age-dependent features of adipokine levels in BA and obesity are described. Data on the confirmed role of adiponectin and leptin in the progression of BA combined with obesity are presented. It has been shown that the role of resistin and retinol-binding protein in the development of BA combined with obesity has not been studied. It is demonstrated that further study of metabolic activity of adipokines in BA is an actual and perspective direction of researches which will allow to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in patients with BA with obesity.

Published: April 2021

The SARS-CoV-2 virus enters the body through the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2), which is the entry point of the virus into the cell. The most dense fabric of ACE-2 is the lungs. The small intestine also contains large amounts of ACE-2 in the enterocyte membrane and is often involved in this process. Intestinal symptoms can appear at different stages of the disease. The review describes the mechanisms of interaction of SARS-CoV-2 with enterocytes, the fecal-oral route of infection, diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 with intestinal symptoms.

Game Designers and the Ludo Mix: Constructing an Aesthetic Experience
Authors: Chiapello Laureline
Published: April 2021

A ludo mix occurs when a variety of media are organized around one or several central games. While this might be an opportunity to build worlds and create new intellectual properties, it is also a marketing strategy. These two perspectives are often contradictory, and are difficult for game designers to address: how to design games in a ludo mix? Firstly, I establish a theoretical foundation, and suggest that a definition of ludo mix can encompass the game designer’s experience more explicitly by relying on the pragmatist concept of “aesthetic experience” by John Dewey. Based on this perspective, I will demonstrate how Dewey’s concepts complement the works of two major thinkers in Japanese media studies, Eiji Ōtsuka and Hiroki Azuma. Secondly, I validate the usefulness of Dewey’s concepts for game designers by employing them in a “project-grounded” research approach. This particular project involves nine students enrolled in a narrative game design class, working on the franchise Aggressive Retsuko. The results show that pragmatism is indeed a fruitful philosophical stance for game designers; ludo mixes ought to be seen as “grand experiences” instead of “grand narratives”.

Environmental factors can induce detrimental consequences into adulthood life. In this study, we examined the epigenetic effects induced by in utero chlordecone (CD) exposure on human male cord blood as well as in blood-derived Ke-37 cell line. Genome-wide analysis of histone H3K4me3 distribution revealed that genes related to chromosome segregation, chromatin organization, and cell cycle have altered occupancy in their promoters. The affected regions were enriched in ESR1, SP family, and IKZF1 binding motifs. We also observed a global reduction in H3K9me3, markedly in repeated sequences of the genome. Decrease in H3K9me3 after CD exposure correlates with decreased methylation in LINE-1 promoters and telomere length extension. These observations on human cord blood were assessed in the Ke-37 human cell line. H3K4me3 and the expression of genes related to immune response, DNA repair, and chromatin organization, which were affected in human cord blood were also altered in CD-exposed Ke-37 cells. Our data suggest that developmental exposure to CD leads to profound changes in histone modification patterns and affects the processes controlled by them in human cord blood.
СЛОВОТВІР ПРИКМЕТНИКА (НА МАТЕРІАЛІ ДАВНЬОГРЕЦЬКОЇ МОВИ)
Authors: Куйбіда Х. І.
Published: April 2021

У статті висвітлено основні словотвірні особливості похідних прикметників давньогрецької мови. Спершу в роботі окреслено відмінності між первісними та похідними одиницями. Похідні ад’єктиви розглянуто з погляду словотвірної структури та словотвірної мотивації. Наведено теоретичну класифікацію способів словотворення, яка найбільше відповідає специфіці давньогрецької мови. Окремо виділено групу похідних слів, утворених за допомогою однієї основи, та групу слів, які утворюються на базі двох основ. Проаналізовано детальніше суфіксацію та префіксацію як основні способи афіксального словотворення. Виділено найбільш характерні для давньогрецького ад’єктива словотвірні форманти (суфікси, префікси, інтерфікси). Серед способів складання найпродуктивнішим є основоскладання. Ад’єктивні композити розглянуто відповідно до їхніх структурних елементів, моделей утворення, словотвірного значення. Щодо типу відношення між компонентами композитів, виділено адитивний і детермінативний типи зв’язку. Окрему увагу присвячено екзоцентричним за семантичними ознаками детермінативним складним прикметникам типу багувриги, наявність яких вважається невід’ємною особливістю давньогрецької мови. Словоскладання, як зазначено, не є характерним для системи давньогрецького прикметника способом словотворення. Юкстапозити- ад’єктиви утворилися здебільшого на базі словосполучень із першим адвербіальним компонентом. Звернено увагу також на особливості внутрішньої мотивації складних слів, виділено спільні та відмінні риси словосполучення та композита. Окремим аспектом аналізу словотвірних особливостей грецьких ад’єктивів у представленій праці є з’ясування дериваційних можливостей аналізованих похідних як ціліснооформлених одиниць, що стосується їх активності в утворенні вторинних дериватів. Словотвірні потенції давньогрецьких похідних прикметників як твірних баз у подальших процесах деривації продемонстровано на основі понять словотвірної пари та словотвірної парадигми, що становлять безпосередній зв’язок між дериватами та твірними лексичними одиницями.
КОГНІТИВНА ІНТЕГРАЦІЯ ДЕМІНУТИВІВ
Authors: Романенко О. П.
Published: April 2021

У статті розглянуто процес концептуальної інтеграції, який базується на основі об’єднання теорії концептуальної метафори та теорії концептуальних просторів. Досліджено ментальні простори як концептуальні структури оперативної пам’яті людини, що виникають в її свідомості в момент породження мовлення. Ментальні простори перебувають між собою в когнітивних зв’язках, тому концептуальні структури можуть використовуватися для утворення інших концептуальних структур, які виникають в інтегрованих просторах. Ці простори, комбінуючись, утворюють бленд, який є не просто набором елементів початкових просторів, а новою унікальною структурою. Розглянуто просторові моделі, що конструюються на основі метафори, яка актуалізує ті ознаки та смисли, що не є головними і суттєвими для прямого значення слова, але є стійкими у свідомості мовців. Зазначено, що в основі метафоризації, за теорією концептуальної метафори, лежить процес взаємодії між структурами знань двох доменів: сфери-джерела і сфери-мішені. Чим детальніше структурована понятійна сфера-джерело, тим більше номінативних можливостей у понятійної сфери-донора. Особливу увагу зосереджено на дослідженні процесу метафоричного моделювання та ознак метафоричної моделі А.П. Чудінова Творчо опрацьовано семантико-когнітивні форманти, досліджені у роботах Ю.В. Кравцової, що базуються на типах метафоричної мотивації. Представлено певні аспекти метафоричного моделювання демінутивів, що відбуваються через вербалізацію корелятивних в асоціативному плані понять, утворюючи метафоричні моделі. Метафорична модель містить вихідну і нову поняттєві сфери метафоричної проєкції та семантико-когнітивний формант, який інтегрує ці сфери за схожою рисою. Розглянуто метафоричні моделі демінутивів, які утворюються за перенесення компонента значення твірного слова на похідне слово, тобто під час взаємодії компонента значення одного концептуального простору зі значенням іншого концептуального простору, у результаті чого утворюється бленд, демінутивна одиниця. Детально досліджено метафоричну модель демінутива «котик».
АВТОСТЕРЕОТИПНІ РИСИ ПОЛЯКА В АНЕКДОТАХ (НА МАТЕРІАЛІ АНКЕТУВАННЯ СТУДЕНТСЬКОЇ МОЛОДІ ПОЛЬЩІ)
Authors: Филипець О. З.
Published: April 2021

У статті здійснено аналіз автостереотипних рис поляка на основі анекдотів, зібраних шляхом анонімного анкетування студентів із різних регіонів Польщі. Респондентами стало 1195 студентів-філологів польських вищих навчальних закладів: Університету імені Адама Міцкевича в Познані, Університету імені Марії Кюрі-Склодовської в Любліні, Університету Миколая Коперника в Торуні, Сілезького університету в Катовіцах, Яґеллонського університету в Кракові, Лодзького університету, Вроцлавського університету та Жешівського університету. Запропоноване дослідження передбачало зібрання відповідей на одне запитання анкети: Proszę napisać znane Pani/ Panu dowcipy o Polakach. Усі виявлені в запропонованих студентами анекдотах риси залічено до різних аспектів позамовної дійсності: комунікаційно-психічного, психосуспільного, культурного, фізичного та політичного. Простежено, що всі зібрані з анкет анекдоти про поляків є носіями негативних і позитивних автостереотипних рис. З’ясовано, що в межах психосуспільного аспекту злодійство поляка домінує над лінивством та алкоголізмом. У світлі комунікаційно- психічного аспекту вміння давати собі раду чи знаходити вихід із кожної ситуації, відважність поляка домінують над жорстокістю та заздрістю. Крізь призму культурного аспекту в анекдотах часто експонується така автостереотипна риса, як відсталість. Фізичний аспект представлений однією автостереотипною рисою поляка – брудний. Зібраний матеріал дав змогу простежити, що експоновані автостереотипні риси увиразнюються шляхом протиставлення поляка і представників інших національностей у різних конфігураціях. Героями анекдотів здебільшого є представники класичної тріади національностей: поляк, німець, «русек». Зрідка в запропонованих студентами анекдотах як третій представник національності виступає американець, француз чи японець.
НАРАТУВАННЯ ГОЛОКОСТУ В ПОВІСТІ Є. ГУЦАЛА «СПІВУЧА КОЛИСКА З ВЕРБОЛОЗУ»
Authors: Горбач Н. В.
Published: April 2021

У статті проаналізовано повість письменника-шістдесятника Є. Гуцала крізь призму оповідної організації зображення Голокосту в ній. Суспільні зміни, які передували написанню твору, та авторський підхід щодо зображення подій Другої світової війни дали можливість художньо реалізувати в повісті якісно нову концепцію окупаційної дійсності, зокрема акцентувати долю цивільного населення, національні виміри Катастрофи, показати її травматичну дію не тільки на жертв, яких персоналізовано, але й на свідків тих подій, що особливо підкреслюється реакціями дитячої психіки. До ознак, які вирізняють повість із-поміж творів узвичаєного в літературі попереднього періоду «переможного» наративу війни, відносимо й авторський інтерес до сторінок локальної історії. Увага Є. Гуцала до його малої батьківщини – села Овечачого та інших населених пунктів Вінниччини – розширює просторові уявлення читача про межі Голокосту на території України. Авторське жанрове визначення твору як окупаційних фресок та залучення наратора-дитини розглядається у статті як чинник фрагментування тексту повісті на окремі оповідання і новели, яким властива «самовільна» лінійна організація в сюжеті. Поєднання під час репрезентації подій Голокосту дієгетичної і вторинної недієгетичної нарації, що вводить «голоси» персонажів із світу дорослих, сприяє наповненню оповідного простору як діями, почуттями, емоціями головного героя, так і обставинами зовнішнього світу, позначеного загальним катастрофізмом. Автобіографічний досвід переживання воєнного лихоліття сприяв чуттєвому відтворенню художньої дійсності. Проте автор, ураховуючи особливості психоемоційного розвитку підліткової аудиторії, якій адресовано твір, уникає вербалізації найдраматичніших її сторінок. Говорячи ж про зраду, колабораціонізм місцевого населення, Є. Гуцало дбає про художнє й етичне «урівноваження» ганебних сторінок минулого прикладами жертовності інших персонажів повісті, які виходять із гуманістичних, позанаціональних та позарелігійних міркувань. Авторська позиція не висловлюється в повісті безпосередньо, але письменник реалізує себе як суб’єкта через добір реалій суспільно-політичного життя, автобіографічного матеріалу, образів другорядних персонажів, ускладнення нарації життєвим досвідом зрілої людини.
МЕТОНІМІЧНА ГРУПА ФІГУР ЗАМІЩЕННЯ В РОМАНАХ ШАРЛОТТИ БІНҐХЕМ
Authors: Гайденко Ю. О.
Published: April 2021

Дослідження присвячено опису метонімічної групи фігур заміщення і їх репрезентації в романах Шарлотти Бінґхем. Мета пропонованого дослідження – розглянути фігури заміщення метонімічної групи, здійснити їх типологізацію, схарактеризувати їх стилістичні функції та встановити їх відсоткове співвідношення в романах Шарлотти Бінґхем. У роботі використано загальнонаукові (аналіз та синтез, суцільна вибірка, описовий метод, кількісний аналіз) і власне лінгвістичні методи. Дефініційний аналіз – для уточнення лінгвістичних термінів та понять, окреслених темою дослідження; стилістичний аналіз – для вивчення фігур заміщення метонімічної групи, з’ясування їх стилістичного забарвлення в аналізованих комунікативних ситуаціях. Визначено, що фігури заміщення – це вторинні найменування, які існують у мові в «готовому» вигляді або створюються в мовленні на основі регулярних моделей. Встановлено, що до метонімічної групи означених фігур належать метонімія, синекдоха, перифраз, евфемізм та дисфемізм. Досліджено, що в романах Шарлотти Бінґхем превалюють перифраз (42,6%) і метонімія (37,1%). Описано різновиди перифразу та розкрито, що в досліджуваних творах він функціонує як засіб додаткової характеризації позначуваного. Окреслено моделі метонімічного перенесення в романах Шарлотти Бінґхем. З’ясовано, що в означених творах метонімія використовується передусім задля виділення певної ознаки позначуваного. Розкрито, що в романах Шарлотти Бінґхем дещо рідше трапляється синекдоха (16,2%), яка полягає в кількісному співставленні предметів і явищ; окреслено її різновиди. З’ясовано, що найменш репрезентативними в романах Шарлотти Бінґхем є евфемізм (3,3%) та дисфемізм (0,8%). Описано, що евфемізм використовується авторкою як засіб пом’якшення неприємної істини, а дисфемізм – задля відображення емоційно-оцінного стану персонажів.

The research focuses on the set of relations between business entities in regards to the management of a breakthrough economy in domestic conditions. The goal of the research is to study the management that arises from the introduction of innovations and their combinations, as well as representing the entrepreneurs vision in the production process; drawing the attention of managerial personnel to this problem — state and economic authorities, legislators, scientists and employers. There have been formulated a number of tasks: to disclose the content of breakthrough management; to present its evolution and components; to formulate economic patterns of the implementation; to justify a number of improvement areas, including the core of the main components of the algorithm and the breakthrough management financial support. The methodological basis for the development is the key provisions of strategic entrepreneurial management and the theory of classical and Austrian schools. The research methods are analysis of the development of a single and general division of managerial labor, a part and a whole in the economy; collection, processing and grouping of facts, their analysis and synthesis; the unity of the logical and historical. The conclusion is justified that the company internal management process finds its continuation outside of it, i.e. in external market development. It becomes the basic tool for the economic development of economic entities, turns into a specific rational channel for introducing combined modernization of the economy. Its uniqueness is due to the organic interaction of independent and own intracompany production, on the one hand, and the functioning of the market economy as a system, on the other one. Such implementation process becomes a driving force for an economic leap. The looking for a solution of arising problems in this case approach is a key function of breakthrough entrepreneurial management.

Published: April 2021

The development of effective mechanisms to support the introduction of new technologies is one of the important tasks of a modern management system. The paper summarizes the results of the introduction of new technologies that provided a breakthrough in the development of renewable energy sources (RES) and resulted in the displacement of traditional hydrocarbon fuel sources out of the market. The following breakthrough technologies which have been based on the data generalization and system analysis are considered as: digitalization, new power grids, the battery market, electricity storage, electrification of the final sectors of energy consumption. There have been given a description of technologies that showed their influence on the development of renewable energy sources. The paper provides a list of innovative renewable energy technologies that will play a decisive role in the market in the near future: new technologies together with renewable energy sources (marine solar and wind energy, a molten salt reactor, a wave energy device). The final part analyzes the prospects for the development of innovative technologies in Russia from the point of view of the government support as well as existing initiatives and implementation problems. Based on the analysis performed and the successful experience of China and Germany, there have been proposed recommendations for supporting new energy technologies in Russia. Ramarkable that despite the presence of significant research potential in the 60–80s of the XX century, the modern development of new technologies in the field of renewable energy is still at the initial stage of development. The paper substantiated the expediency of supporting the introduction of promising technologies and a set of measures to facilitate the transfer and introduction of new technologies. Due to one of the key problems of modern economic development in Russia is low effective demand, there is proposed to subsidize part of the cost of purchasing new equipment from the state in order to support the introduction of promising technologies.
Distributed Management as a Solution of the “Goal-Tool” Principle of Economic Policy
Authors: Sukharev O. S.
Published: April 2021

The study subject is the process of substantiation and implementation of measures of the state economic policy aimed at achieving the established priority goals of economic development from the standpoint of the “goal-tool” principle and its possible expansion. The purpose of the research is to substantiate the doctrine of so-called distributed management, which expands the use of the principle of “goal-tool” in relation to the developed and implemented economic policy, as well as to identify the main advantages, disadvantages, opportunities for its use for the public administration methods development. The content of the named doctrine comes down to identifying the structure of tools that affect the management object with a different and changing force, according to which the introduction of these tools is planned. The methodological basis was formed by the theory of management of large-scale systems, the economic policy of Tinbergen, the method of comparative analysis, and the formalization of the management process. The result boils down to identifying a significant advantage of distributed management for the formation of economic policy, since it allows to identify their correlation with the development factors, including an assessment of the strength of the applied instruments. This expands on the classic “goal-tool” principle of economic policy. Distributed management allows you to give a qualitative assessment of the institutional coordination of economic activities by the government. The use of distributed control will be most appropriate when deploying indicative planning procedures and constituting the content of the project management method, which involves the selection of a set of tools from alternative options. In the future, distributed management makes it possible to identify errors in copying managerial and organizational experience in terms of the applied development institutions, borrowed technologies, and the use of project management. A quantitative assessment of the strength of tools and its sensitivity of various goals, the application of this assessment to specific controllable systems of different levels of complexity constitutes the prospect of this theoretical study.
Strategies for Top-Rated Scientific Journals: Democracy or Closed Ecosystem?
Authors: Orekhova S. V. , Evseeva M. V. , Kislitsyn E. V.
Published: April 2021

Researchers rely on a system of scientometric ratings when they assess the development of a scientific journal. This approach does not allow us to understand the reasons for the results achieved and the specifics of the business model of the publication. The paper describes the study of scientific journals through a prism of the ecosystem approach. The hypothesis is tested that a highly rated scientific journal, its authors and readers together represent a closed ecosystem with specific properties. The research methodology is based on the author’s toolkit which consists on the calculation of ecosystem closeness indicators: the share of affiliated authors, their correlation with the average influence of a paper, diversity and fluidity. The authors suggest that low rates of variability and diversity indicate a closed type of journal ecosystem. Generalization and interpretation of empirical results was carried out by the method of cluster analysis. The information base is a panel metadata of 20 scientific Russian journals for 2013–2020, which have the maximum Science Index ratings on economic and management fields.

Authors: Chrysanthus Chukwuma Sr
Published: April 2021

This article presents an overview of information regarding Acanthamoeba keratitis per epidemiology, host-pathogen interactions, clinical manifestations, risk factors, environmental implications, diagnosis, treatment and management as well as COVID-19 characteristics which may be taken into cognizance for suspected infected patients, researchers and ophthalmologic practitioners. Acanthamoeba spp. is pathogenetically ubiquitous in nature. Acanthamoeba keratitis is considerably an ocular-threatening and debilitating keratitis that exhibits contumacious characteristics which hinder or impede treatment or management. At inception, Acanthamoeba generally depicts atypical clinical features which are frequently misdiagnosed as other microbial keratitis. Fundamentally, it constitutes a rare corneal infection of which the aetiologic agent is the protozoon Acanthamoeba spp. in contact lens wearers, presenting features of severe ophthalmic distress, blurred vision, blepharospasm, ocular excoriation, extraneous entity sensation and photophobia culminating in aberrant visual functionality. These are perspicuously due to retarded prompt and adequate treatment and management. Personal and environmental hygiene, especially on the hands, face and ocular areas as advised for the COVID-19 protocol could prevent contamination and dissemination of Acanthamoeba keratitis infection. The differentiating relatedness of Acanthamoeba keratitis, COVID-19 ophthalmologic infections and other ocular problems may not have been clearly elucidated.
