Assessment of Anxiety due to COVID-19 among the Surgery Staff of the René ESSOMBA Theater "BORE" at the Yaoundé Central Hospital

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on healthcare systems worldwide, including surgical disciplines. To date, only a few studies have assessed the effects of the ongoing pandemic on the mental state of those potentially exposed through their daily activities, such as operating theatre staff. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of anxiety among the operating theatre staff "BORE" during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: From 13 January to 19 February 2021, we conducted a cross-sectional study using a pre-designed online form. This form was disseminated to participants via social networks. The data collection form was divided into three parts: one part was for socio-demographic information, the second part was for professional information, and the third part was for assessing the anxiety score by the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A). Results: A total of 42 questionnaires were fully completed and retained for analysis. The sex ratio was 1.67, with 16 men and 26 women. COVID-19 anxiety with mild severity (HS ˂ 17) was found in 22 (55.4%) of the participants, and 33.3% had moderate to severe depression, while 11.3% had severe anxiety. Conclusion: About 4/5 of the participants in our survey suffered from anxiety due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study highlights the need for psychological assistance for health care workers, especially the operating theatre staff of the Yaounde Central Hospital.

COVID-19: Target Selection

It is necessary to revive the old concept of "norm in pathology," which meant that there are deviations that reflect its adaptation to new conditions in the case of a disease in the body. Such shifts up to a certain limit are a positive phenomenon and do not require correction. It is necessary to adopt a general scheme of the relationship and sequence of these reactions and mechanisms in the pathogenesis of inflammatory transformation of lung tissue instead of ephemeral dependence on the pathogen.

A Cross Sectional Study to Assess the Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Toward COVID-19 among the Arts and Science Students in Farasan, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a new variable of the Coro-naviridae family. COVID-19 spreads primarily by contacting the virus either from a COVID-19-infected individual through coughing or sneezing or from COVID-19-contaminated surfaces. A Descriptive cross-sectional survey of 200 participants was conducted to explore the awareness, attitude, and practice of COVID-19 among the arts and science students studying at the University College of Farasan. Results: Of all the participants, 58% showed a moderate level of awareness, 70% presented a high attitude, and 56% presented an adequate practice regarding COVID-19. Significant positive correlation between awareness-attitude (r = 0.156, p-value < 0.001) and attitude-practice (r = 0.192, p-value < 0.001) were found. The majority of students with non-medical background agreed that the patient with COVID-19 could remain asymptomatic (p < 0.01) while considering the transmission route, the students from non-nursing background students were found more conscious (p < 0.01) that infection could spread through personal contact, respiratory droplets and possibly by feces. Despite the moderate public awareness, their attitude and practice were better. Therefore, public awareness must be improved to be prepared for epidemic and pandemic situations.

The Perfect Storm Relationship Between Vaccination-induced Disorders and Illness Manifested by Post Covid-19 Long Haulers

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2), the cause of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), has not only created an acute worldwide pandemic but also chronic adverse health effects in a substantial percentage of survivors. Hopefully, vaccines for Covid-19 will result in far fewer long haulers cases by reducing the severity of Covid-19 exposures. Acute and chronic vaccination-induced disorders attributable to Covid-19 immunizations need to be carefully assessed over intervals of several weeks because of the potential latency in mechanisms of disease causation that transcend anaphylaxis and allergic reactions.

The Pandemic of the E-Human Movement

The movement's evolution and change have strikingly shut down gyms, health clubs, fitness classes, live, personal training jobs, and more during the pandemic. The massive shift has opened up live streaming and online classes; however, we may be soon facing a new body and mind pandemic if we are not aware of the side effects. The longer we are away from socializing and being trained with technique and form, the human body will later experience a separation between body, mind, and soul with dormant emotions and feelings. . In fact, the mind and memory may start to decrease, and focus and discipline will fade. Through the Holistic methodology, we can re-ignite the human being and preserve the humans to continue moving, healing, breathing in a language that the body understands.
