The disease was initially designated as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on January 30, 2020. In order to protect the health of mass public, an array of research on drugs and vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 has been conducted globally. However, the emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2, i.e., Alpha (B.1.1.7), Beta (B.1.351), Gamma (P.1), and Delta (B.1.617.2) variants which evolved in late 2020 and the Omicron variant (B.1.1.529) which emerged in November 2021 along with its subvariant BA.2 which was first identified in India and South Africa in late December 2021, have ra...

It is, however, not clear whether the presence of some opportunistic pathogens called pathobionts contributes to the severity of the disease. In COVID-19 patients, undetected bacterial co-infections may be associated with the severity of the disease. Therefore, we investigated the implications of bacterial co-infections in COVID-19 cases.

Authors: Pitol, Md. Najmus Sayadat; Advisor: -; Participants: Sapir, Ana Shakirah Md. (2023) - The stay-at-home conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic significantly alter the Malaysian lifestyle, and all Malaysians faced difficulties adopting the new lifestyle. A hypothetico-deductive technique has been conducted in this study, to find out what kind of changes the COVID-19 has brought about in the behavior of Malaysians and how they are coping with the changing lifestyles. According to G* Power 3.1 sample size determination in Malaysia, the entire sample of 112 was sufficient to provide the value for the medium effect size for the computation of the F-tests and the findings were reliable (The Cronbach's alpha values were all above 0.70.). To calculate the mean of the lifestyle during COVID-19, the mean scores range between 1.00 and 5.00 marks indicating much reduced to much ...

Authors: Manekar, Snehal S.; Advisor: -; Participants: Bakal, Ravindrakumar L.; Jawarkar, Rahul D.; Charde, Manoj S. (2022) - The length of one's life is related to the amount of garbage produced. Waste is generated by a variety of activities such as households, industrial, agricultural, institutional, municipal, commercial, and so on (Vergara and Tchobanoglous 2012). In industrialized areas, the amount of waste generated is high, but the awareness about waste management is lacking (Ferronato and Torretta 2019).
Biomedical Waste (BMW) is defined as unwanted material left during the study, manufacture, or testing of human or animal diagnosis, treatment, immunization, or biologics. Bio-Medical Waste Management Rules 2016 classify the BMW into different categories such as human anatomical waste, animal waste, microbiological and bioengineering waste, sharp waste, cytotoxic waste, contaminated waste, solid ...

Authors: Aurora, Fabienne; Advisor: -; Participants: Arasaretnam, Anita; Hobkirk, Andrew (2022) - Acute Leukaemias are haematological disorders characterised by the proliferation of immature white blood cells in the bone marrow and/or peripheral blood. Oral manifestations of leukaemia are common and may be the first sign of the disease. The clinical presentation of these Acute Leukaemias may include neutropenic sepsis, hyperviscocity and coagulopathy which confer a potential morbidity and mortality. Clinicians must be able to recognise this pattern of presentation.

Authors: Zvobgo, L.; Advisor: -; Participants: Do, P. (2020) - This paper proposes short- and long-term measures that would allow effective implementation of the ‘Safe Hands’ by means of sustainable potable water supply. These measures include extensive social awareness and temporary change of household water use behavior. Municipalities are recommended to establish public private partnerships (PPPs) to create immediate and long-term water investments. Structural and transformational reforms would enhance, through flexible planning, investments for both water infrastructure and governance. This narrative has the potential to improve the urban water systems resiliency against future pandemics.

Authors: AbdelHafez, Mohamed Aly; Advisor: -; Participants: - (2022) - HDL has multiple physiological functions; i.e. reverse cholesterol transport, anti-inflammatory, anti-thrombotic, anti-oxidative, anti-apoptotic in addition to protection of vascular endothelium against damage and leakage of small particles like LDL to pass through. Apo-lipoprotein A1 (Apo-A1) is the main apo-lipoprotein component and plays an axial role in HDL function. Alterations of HDL disturb its functions. Elderly subjects, obese patiens, and patients with chronic illness such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease (CVD) or chronic inflammatory diseases have bad comorbidity among COVID19 patients. Inflammation affect HDL structure and function. COVID-19 causes systemic immune-inflammation due to cytokine explosion, viral interaction with erythrocytes and its hemoglobin content an...
