Sudden Transition in Anatomy Education: Assessing the Perception of Anatomy Course Delivery among Medical Students during COVID-19 Pandemic
Full text linkCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has undoubtedly impacted anatomy education. This has led to a vast shift from a face to face (F2F) session to a complete online session and practical demonstration. Nonetheless, this pandemic provides an opportunity for anatomy educationists to embark on an alternative delivery of anatomy education via an online platform. The aim of this study was to evaluate the students’ perception of the online teaching and learning in anatomy course delivery among the first-year medical students in Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM). A total of 90 first-year medical students partook in an online questionnaire-based survey after semester completion of online anatomy course delivery. Synchronous online lectures conferred positive responses from the students with 73.0% of the students perceived effective communication with lecturers through the online platform. Out of these, 71.6% inclined towards online lectures as it allows them the flexibility to record the lecture and revisit it. Gross anatomy practical sessions were executed asynchronously via pre-recorded video with an additional supplementary quiz on USIM’s Global Open Access Learning system (GOALS) while histology practical was executed synchronously via virtual slide demonstration. A total of 80.1% students felt convenient with histology practical, however, only 48.3% students responded positively to the gross practical. Overall, 76.4% students favoured the conventional practical compared to the online sessions. Meanwhile, an online examination had disputable responses between the different exam formats whereby 71.9% students perceived that Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) were conducted conveniently contradictory to the Modified Essay Questions (MEQ) in which only 34.9% students responded positively. In addition, 57.3% students disclosed multiple setbacks during the Objective Structures Practical Exam (OSPE). The extensive and impromptu changes in the study technique have received multiple responses from the students. Overall, the students preferred an online platform for didactic sessions but a real live classroom for practical sessions

Data & Analysis: Primary and secondary sources involving the turath (classical) books related to infaq (charity), as well as other resources such as books, journals, articles, conference papers/seminars, research papers, thesis, newspaper, website and the like either in Malay, Arabic or English. Results & Findings: The results of the study shows that there are several zakat institutions that play an important role in helping the cost of treatment of heart patients in general ranging from the cost of early detection of treatment to the cost of follow-up treatment. However, the proposed formation of a contribution fund specifically can be implemented to help pediatric heart patients from the asnaf group. The noble efforts and initiatives made by this zakat institution clearly prove that zakat plays a big role in helping Muslims in any situation.

Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia Mimicking COVID-19 Pneumonia In A Patient With Newly Diagnosed Advanced HIV Disease
Full text linkDuring the pandemic, diagnosis of COVID-19 infection must be excluded in patients presenting with respiratory features, especially in the area where the incidence was high. This case report highlights a man who came with respiratory infection symptoms and the chest radiograph suspicious of COVID-19 pneumonia; however, his swab test for RT-PCR was negative for COVID-19. Later he was found to have a positive anti-HIV antibody and developed advanced HIV infection by multiple opportunistic infections. A 45-year-old man presented with chronic cough and dyspnea for three months which worsened five days before the presentation. It was associated with diarrhoea, dysphagia, weight loss, left lower limb weakness, with bowel and urinary incontinence. Chest auscultation revealed generalized crepitations. The first chest radiograph showed bilateral reticular opacities extending to the lung peripheries when the suspected diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia was made. The nasopharynx swab for RT-PCR for COVID-19 was negative, and the sputum was positive for Pneumocystis jirovecii. The contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) brain revealed changes consistent with brain abscess. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination was consistent with cryptococcal infection. He was initially treated in the Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI) ward because of the initial impression of COVID-19. He was tested positive for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) rapid test and PCR, RPR and TPHA for syphilis. He was diagnosed with Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, cryptococcal meningitis, brain abscess, oral and oesophageal candidiasis and syphilis. He was treated with co-trimoxazole, Amphotericin B, flucytosine, fluconazole, penicillin G and Nystatin. He initially improved upon treatment but later succumbed to his illnesses. Given the current situation of COVID-19, any patient with acute respiratory symptoms must be tested to rule out COVID-19 pneumonia. However, in a newly diagnosed advanced HIV patient presented with respiratory infection symptoms and extrapulmonary symptoms, opportunistic infections should be excluded along with COVID-19.

Scientific reporting of beneficial therapeutic plants through this study could promote further development of herbal medicines. We conducted an ethnopharmacy study at several villages of Osing tribe located in Banyuwangi, Indonesia, to identify plants that have the potential to be tested for certain bioactivity, in this case, for COVID-19 therapy. The snowball and purposive sampling methods using qualitative and quantitative research with semi-structured interviews and questionnaires were applied for this study. The parameters used were the Use Value (UV), Informant Consensus Factor (ICF), and Fidelity Level (FL). The plants used in this study were obtained and determined at Balai Konservasi Tumbuhan Kebun Raya Purwodadi, the Indonesian Institute of Science. The results were then followed by the literature study on the plants’ potential for COVID-19 therapy. Plant exploration was obtained by considering the results of UV calculation. Based on UV calculations in ethnopharmacy studies, there are several plants that are considered essential and have more efficacies. They are temulawak, turmeric, suruh, gigen-gigen, mating, anggrek merpati and pace. Three of the eight plants potentially possess immunomodulatory activity that can be used to prevent the infections of SARS-CoV-2.
