Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

We all recognize the typical signs and symptoms of COVID-19 (fever, shortness of breath, persistent non-productive cough). Less common symptoms are headaches, confusion (talking nonsense), numbness/hypoesthesia, seizure (convulsions), vomiting, loss of smell (anosmia), and sense of taste (ageusia). It can be noted that this group of symptoms consisted mostly of neurological complaints. COVID-19 causes CNS damage with various mechanisms. For example, anosmia or hyposmia is seen quite frequently among individuals even with mild COVID-19. Therefore, physicians should be alert in noting nervous system-related symptoms and findings that can be seen in the course of COVID-19.
