  • Emerging viral zoonotic diseases: time to address the root causes

    • Authors: Haruna, Usman Abubakar;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Muhammad, Ahmad Dalhatu; Lucero-Prisno III, Don Eliseo (2023)

  • There have been multiple outbreaks of emerging infections since the turn of the century. A bulk of these diseases is caused by animals, including the Zika virus, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), Monkeypox (MPOX), and Adenovirus among others (Manirambona et al. 2022; Alarcon-Valdes et al. 2022). These diseases were formerly known to infect animals, but they now affect humans. We think that human activities such as land use and livestock practices, and the impact of climate change, are major contributing factors to the emergence and spread of viral zoonotic diseases. By addressing these root causes, we can reduce the risk of future outbreaks and improve public health.

    • Authors: Gustavsen, Stefan;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Nordling, Mette Maria; Weglewski, Arkadiusz (2023)

  • The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has been leading to dramatic health, social and economic problems around the world. It was necessary to introduce worldwide vaccination program against SARS-CoV-2 virus. Vaccination of billions of people around the world leads to many questions about risk of vaccines and possible side effects. It is well known that acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a rare, but possible complication of vaccines. Previously, cases of ADEM following various COVID-19 vaccines, including the vaccines from AstraZenica, Pfizer, Sputnik V, SinoVac, Moderna, Sinopharm, have been described. In this case report, we present the first documented case of ADEM following the COVID-19 vaccine Ad26.COV2.S from Johnson & Johnson.

The symptoms of COVID-19 range from mild to severe, and include mainly fever, cough, and respiratory distress. Severe cases of pneumonia and hypoxemia result in considerable mortality (Rothan and Byrareddy 2020). The etiology has been linked to the new strain of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). According to the COVID-19 weekly epidemiological update by the World Health Organization (WHO), as of 9 May 2021, there have been a total of 163,965,336 COVID-19 cases with 3,397,147 fatalities (World Health Organization 2021).

  • 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.

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 ...

The kappa test of inter-rater agreement between reviewers was 0.83. Full-text screening was conducted to further assess the remaining 23 articles for eligibility before data extraction. Eight articles were excluded mainly due to being the wrong publication type (n = 4) or having the wrong outcome (n = 4). At the end of the process, 15 articles were eligible for inclusion in the review with an inter-rater agreement of κ = 0.95.
