Abstract: The unprecedented outbreak of a contagious respiratory disease similar to pneumonia caused by a novel coronavirus termed as COVID-19 has led to a pandemic claiming millions of lives worldwide. Potential vaccine candidates are underdevelopment to contain and mitigate the spread of Global cases and deaths. Preliminary reports suggest that males and females are affected in cases and deaths differentially.

Abstract: Coronavirus-Disease-2019 (COVID-19) can be heralded by anosmia as a major symptom in up to 60% of patients. In this study, we sought to describe the temporal and geospatial distribution of anosmia in internet search queries relative to COVID-19 case densities across the United States, and to characterize the quality of online resources people used for anosmia searches during the early stages of the pandemic.

Abstract: Age adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (ACCI) has previously shown to predict outcome in wide range of diseases. We aim to assess if ACCI can predict 30-day all-cause mortality and need for critical care in COVID-19 patients.

Abstract: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARSCoV- 2) emerged in Wuhan, China, and was quickly isolated following cases of viral acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Understanding of the clinical constellation associated with SARS-CoV-2 expanded to include cardiovascular, neurological, and systemic inflammatory manifestations, and disease following infection with SARS-CoV-2 became collectively called Corona Virus Disease - 2019 (COVID-19)

Abstract: Microbial biofilm is defined as an association of bacterial and fungal cells, fixed to surfaces, biotic or abiotic, included in a complex extracellular matrix of polymeric substances (EPS). It is estimated that approximately 65% of microbial infections are caused by biofilm-forming microorganisms, representing a serious public health problem. In addition, the integrity of machinery and equipment in industries can be compromised by the presence of biofilms, causing significant economic losses.

Abstract: The hemostatic abnormalities which may accompany sepsis have been attributed to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) initiated by tissue factor (TF) activating FVII leading to TF-FVII a complex formation and triggering the extrinsic coagulation cascade. Recently, a new theory of hemostasis has been proposed in which sepsis is associated with endothelial damage releasing unusually large von Willebrand factor (ULVWF).
Case Report Pages 84-86
Abstract: A 60-year-old caucasian woman was transferred from an outside hospital with one week history of severe headache, intermittent nausea, vomiting, and a one day history of episodes of dizziness, ataxia, and falls. An initial non-contrast computed tomographic of head demonstrated diffuse cerebral edema prompting transfer to our institution for further evaluation and management. The patient did not recall any contact with known SARS-CoV-2 infected patient or any history of fever, respiratory symptoms or diarrhea. On initial evaluation, her blood pressure was 150/89 mmHg. The patient was alert and oriented, and exhibited slight dysmetria of the right upper extremity. Several abnormalities were noted on testing: Elevated leukocytes, fibrinogen, D-Dimer, creatinine phosphokinase, creatinine phosphokinase MB

Abstract: Coronavirus syndrome is a mental disorder that is a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which will affect up to 10% of the population. We can already observe acute stress reactions to the spread of the infection and changes in people’s customary lifestyle. However, the most severe symptoms will be seen 6 months after the beginning of the catastrophe and will be similar to the clinical picture of post-traumatic stress disorder.

Abstract: As lockdown measures to control the COVID-19 virus are being eased in a lot of countries, (including the United Kingdom), the potential of a second wave of this infection spread remains a possibility as most countries have not been able to achieve herd immunity from this virus. We have explored the potential risk of younger age groups being more affected in a second wave of this virus and made recommendations.

Abstract: Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is responsible for the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) cause of the recent global pandemic, which is causing thousands of deaths worldwide and represents a health challenge with few precedents in human history. The angiotensin 2 conversion enzyme (ACE-2) has been identified as the receptor that facilitates access to SARS-CoV-2 in cells; evidence shows that its concentration varies during the various stages of viral infection.

Case Report Pages 62-64
Abstract: In Malaysia, the first case of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was reported on 25 January 2020. Reported cases remained relatively low until a surge of cases emerged in March 2020, most of them linked to a Tabligh religious gathering held in the Seri Petaling Mosque in Kuala Lumpur. Despite the fact that mass gatherings are known to both pose & cause major public health challenges during outbreaks, the gathering was held & attended by 16,000 people including 1,500 foreigners from over 20 countries as prior approval was granted by non-health related agency. As of 1 July 2020, 8640 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Malaysia have been reported; 3375 of these linked to the ‘Tabligh’ gathering

Abstract: It has been recognised that the first 1000 days (now extended to age 5) of a child's life are fundamental for growth and brain development. Furthermore, it is considered a critical time across the life course when early intervention can mitigate long-term consequences of malnutrition, infections, and other recognised public health problems leading to conditions such as developmental delay, obesity, diabetes and asthma later in life

Abstract: Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) is still a burden in many developing countries and indigenous communities within developed countries. A simple sore throat caused by the Group A β-hemolytic Streptococcus bacterium in children, teenagers and young adults, unrecognized and/or under-treated, is all it takes to begin a whole cascade of damage to the heart valves and other cardiac structures resulting in valvular stenosis and incompetence.
