“…Most people are frequently exposed to Mucorales without developing the disease. Mucormycosis is generally spread by breathing in, eating food contaminated by, or getting spores of molds of the Mucorales type in an open wound (Hasan et al, 2021). So this study aims to assess women awareness regarding prevention of mucormycosis among their families Regarding socio-demographic characteristics of the studied women, the current study result showed that less than half of the studied women had an age group from 21-30 years with mean±SD of 28.72±5.53, about two thirds of them were married and from rural areas respectively.…”

Setting:The study was conducted at health center at district fiften Alashir of Ramadan city Alshraqia Governorate Egypt. Sample: simple random sample. Sample size: The sample size was 265 women. Data collection tool: the data was collected by using two tools: First tool: An Interviewing questionnaire for women. Consist of demographic data and women knowledge. 2 nd tool self-reported practice regarding prevention of mucormycosis among their families. Results: the majority 98.1% of the studied women had a poor knowledge about Mucormycosis and 1.9% of them had average knowledge. And 60.8% of the studied women had good practices and 39.2% of them had average practices. Conclusion: there was positive correlation between total women's knowledge and their reported practice.

Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) shows a wide range of clinical manifestations, including asymptomatic presentation to severe pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and respiratory failure. Although COVID-19 disease progression was studied elsewhere, it is largely unknown in Bangladesh. Methods We conducted this cross-sectional study in November 2020 to January 2021 on patients diagnosed with COVID-19 confirmed by Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). Pearson chi-square tests were used to assess the disease progressions across selected variables. A logistic regression model was used to assess the associated factors of COVID-19 infection for explanatory variables. All statistics were performed using the Stata software version 14.0 (Stata corporation, college station, Texas, USA). Results A total of 384 of respondents were involved in the survey. Of participants, most males (73%), unmarried (69%), aged 18 to 35 years during survey, and lived in urban community (73%). Overall, 41% of patients were in asymptotic condition, 44% were in mild condition, while 17% were moderate to severe conditions. Male patients and patients over 50 years had severe symptoms, accounting for 52% and 50%, respectively. Nearly half of business persons and office employees had severe symptoms. Almost all married patients (98%) had severe symptoms. The severity of symptoms was also higher for patients living in urban areas (79%), smoking (95%), and not physically active (52%). Patients with diabetes, asthma/COPD, and cancer were significantly associated with severe stage of COVID-19 (p≤0.05). Patient’s age, gender, smoking status, diabetics, working conditions significantly affect Covid-19 disease progression. Conclusion The study found that 7.03% of patients had severe, 9.11% had moderate and 40.36% had asymptomatic conditions. The heterogenic association between the disease progressions with age, sex, residence, marital status, smoking habits, diabetes, physical exercise, working conditions, sedentary lifestyles. Findings highlight the idea of using vulnerability ratings for each risk factor related to disease progression.
