Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has emerged as a pandemic for more than 2 years. Autopsy examination is an invaluable tool to understand the pathogenesis of emerging infections and their consequent mortalities. The aim of the current study was to present the lung and heart pathological findings of COVID-19–positive autopsies performed in Jordan. Methods: The study involved medicolegal cases, where the cause of death was unclear and autopsy examination was mandated by law. We included the clinical and pathologic findings of routine gross and microscopic examination of cases that were positive for COVID-19 at time of death. Testing for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was confirmed through molecular detection by real-time polymerase chain reaction, serologic testing for IgM and electron microscope examination of lung samples. Results: Seventeen autopsies were included, with male predominance (76.5%), Jordanians (70.6%), and 50 years as the mean age at time of death. Nine out of 16 cases (56.3%) had co-morbidities, with one case lacking such data. Histologic examination of lung tissue revealed diffuse alveolar damage in 13/17 cases (76.5%), and pulmonary microthrombi in 8/17 cases (47.1%). Microscopic cardiac findings were scarcely detected. Two patients died as a direct result of acute cardiac disease with limited pulmonary findings. Conclusions The detection of SARS-CoV-2 in postmortem examination can be an incidental or contributory finding which highlights the value of autopsy examination to determine the exact cause of death in controversial cases.

Background: Coronavirus illness (COVID-19) reached the level of a significant public health emergency in 2019, with an estimated worldwide death toll of more than 1,00,000 people 2019. Coronavirus illness (COVID-19). This survey was conducted to identify the factors influencing COVID-19 practice among undergraduate nursing students at the University of Nizwa, Sultanate of Oman. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional online survey of sixty-four undergraduate nursing students chosen from the school of Nursing at the University of Nizwa in Sultanate of Oman took part from July 30 to August 5, 2021. Results: Participants’ average age was 22.27 ± 1.04, and the male-to-female ratio was 31.8% (n=64). Nursing students had adequate knowledge (13.67 ± 3.46), a positive attitude (48.14 ± 12.29), and good practices (32.6 ± 6.12), according to the results of a survey. Female students, compared to males (0.006, p<0.05), were more likely to follow better practices. Significant positive associations were found between age (0.025, p<0.05), gender (0.006, P<0.05), living areas (0.031, p<0.05), grade (0.000, p<0.05), Clinical practice experienced (0.016, p<0.05) and practice on COVID -19. Conclusions The study findings exhibited the essential elements that affected COVID-19 precautionary practices, knowledge, and a positive attitude, which were the most critical variables to consider. Male students and students who reside in rural regions should be targeted for further health education, and efforts should be made to ensure these groups have access to reliable and effective online tools to assist them.

Backgroun: Social media tends to cause poorer physical and mental health. Students are more addicted to using media in their daily lives and are more likely to stress. Objective: This study's primary objective is to explore the current level of knowledge of cyber bullying and provide awareness programs to bolt their reflective minds with possible coping strategies to prevent consecutive reduction behaviours among students of Aysha Al- Riyamia school in Bahla. Methods: One hundred eighty participants were recruited from Aysha Al- Riyamia school in Bahla in grades 10 through 12 using a convenient sampling technique. The questionnaire was constructed with knowledge and coping skills about cyber bullying and adopted to collect data from the participants before and after an educational awareness program. Results: The results showed that awareness programs had significantly enhanced students' knowledge and coping strategies in cyber bullying. Furthermore, the evidence of the study confirmed that cyber bullying awareness programs had a positive influence on knowledge among school students; the mean difference between pre-test and post-test was 2.81 at p<0.05. Conclusion Given the widespread use of social media in everyday life, these findings highlight the need for more incredible research into the education program to minimize the risks involved in cyber bullying.
