Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2(SARAS-COV-2) was reported firstly in China by the end of  2019 then disseminated vigorously worldwide  and in 2020 reported by WHO as pandemic disease. It is associated by many symptoms, however; high incidence of thrombotic events was strongly correlated with SARAS-COV-2. Exploring anticoagulants to be added as thromboprophylaxis for Covid 19 patients become a must. Many options for thromboprophylaxis are available including anticoagulants, antiplatelets and fibrinolytics which were illustrated in this mini review.                       Peer Review History: Received 19 January 2021; Revised 3 February; Accepted 24 February, Available online 15 March 2021 UJPR follows the most transparent and toughest ‘Advanced OPEN peer review’ system. The identity of the authors and, reviewers will be known to each other. This transparent process will help to eradicate any possible malicious/purposeful interference by any person (publishing staff, reviewer, editor, author, etc) during peer review. As a result of this unique system, all reviewers will get their due recognition and respect, once their names are published in the papers. We expect that, by publishing peer review reports with published papers, will be helpful to many authors for drafting their article according to the specifications. Auhors will remove any error of their article and they will improve their article(s) according to the previous reports displayed with published article(s). The main purpose of it is ‘to improve the quality of a candidate manuscript’. Our reviewers check the ‘strength and weakness of a manuscript honestly’. There will increase in the perfection, and transparency.  Received file:                Reviewer's Comments: Average Peer review marks at initial stage: 5.0/10 Average Peer review marks at publication stage: 7.0/10 Reviewer(s) detail: Dr. Cecilia Nwadiuto Amadi, University of Port Harcourt, Port Harcourt Rivers State, Nigeria, [email protected] Dr. A.A.

Thirty-six samples of “ready to eat” pineapple samples collected in the morning and evening from six different markets in Port Harcourt were  analyzed to determine their bacteriological quality. All the pineapple slices examined were contaminated with some bacterial species. The average microbial load of the sample on Nutrient agar, MacConkey agar and Mannitol salt agar for the morning and evening samples were 6.6672×106cfu/g, 2.5833×104cfu/g and 8.0000×103cfu/g respectively while those of the evening samples were 1.2494×107cfu/g, 3.9688×104cfu/g and 8.8888×103cfu/g respectively. The total heterotrophic bacterial count on the different samples bought at different times (morning and evening) were significantly different at probability P<0.05 while E. coli and Staphylococcal counts on the different media at the different times (morning and evening) were not significant at P>0.05. The predominant genera of bacteria observed were Escherichia, Staphylococcus, Klebsiella, Shigella, Enterobacter, Providencia, Proteus, Serratia, Salmonella and Citrobacter with Escherichia having the highest frequency of occurrence (23.61%). These findings suggest that most “ready to eat” pineapples hawked in the local  markets may be implicated in Public Health issues as bacterial agents responsible for food poisoning were isolated from them. The need for improvement and maintenance of good hygiene practices by food handlers and vendors in these markets and trading outlets is recommended.
