When Coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2) was exposed to cause extreme respiratory distress syndrome at the end of 2019, it drew worldwide interest. Although it mainly influences the respiratory system, research proposes that it also disturbs other organ systems in the human body. Myocardial cardiogenic shock, systolic heart failure, acute coronary syndrome, infarction, lifethreatening arrhythmias are all possible cardiac manifestations. Myocardial infarction is becoming more widely accepted as a barrier of Coronavirus-19, and it can occur as a result of either overactive host immune response or a direct viral damage. The analysis is made using a clinical exam, non-invasive imaging trials, laboratory findings, clear history much as most etiologies. The cardiac MRI is chosen imaging modality when it is available. If the condition is still unclear, an endomyocardial biopsy can be done. The current management is pri...

Thus it is urgent to identify possible barriers that limit access to existing interventions. The aim of this study was to assess perceptions and practices regarding malaria prevention during pregnancy in a peri-urban area and explore ways to scale-up malaria prevention interventions, since little is known about malaria in peri-urban settings. Methods: A survey was conducted in Kabale municipality southwestern Uganda from April-June, 2015. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire targeting pregnant women, who delivered in the study area 1 year prior to the survey. Univariate analyses were performed at assess the level of knowledge and practices on malaria prevention during pregnancy. Results: A total of 800 women was interviewed. The majority of women, 96.1 % knew that malaria was a dangerous disease in pregnancy; 60.3 % knew that it caused anaemia, and 71.3 % associated malaria with general weakness. However, fewer women (44.9 %) knew that malaria in pregnancy caused abortions, while 14.9 % thought it caused stillbirths. Similarly, few women (19 %) attended the recommend four antenatal care visits; less than a half (48.8 %) accessed two doses of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) for malaria prevention in pregnancy while 16.3 % received at least three doses of SP, as recommended by the current policy. The main reasons for poor antenatal care attendance were: women felt healthy and did not see a need to go for antenatal care, long distances and long waiting hours at clinics. The reasons given for not taking SP for malaria prevention were: women were not feeling sick; they were not aware of the benefits of SP in pregnancy, they were sleeping under insecticide-treated nets; fear of side effects of SP; and the antenatal care clinics were far. Conclusion: Despite a good knowledge that malaria is a dangerous disease in pregnancy, there was poor access to antenatal care and use of SP for malaria prevention in pregnancy. There is urgent to address existing health system constraints in order to increases access to malaria prevention in pregnancy in this setting.

The researchers utilized convenient sampling to collect 122 questionnaires from University of Somalia in Mogadishu, Somalia. Employees were provided a questionnaire with four main construct which measuring Reward System, Promotion, Training and employee Productivity. However, using correlation coefficient, the study found that employee productivity (Dependent variable) had significant positive influence with three independent variables namely: Reward System, Promotion and Training. Also, the result of...
