Abstract

Background & aim: The monkeypox virus (MPXV), an Orthopoxvirus family member, is the zoonotic agent that causes mpox (formerly known as monkeypox). The ongoing mpox pandemic has caused cases across continents involving 110 countries. This study aimed to assess mpox knowledge and its determinants among healthcare personnel. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from June 6 to June 25, 2022, among 17 Arab countries. The self-administered questionnaire consists of 53 questions assessing the knowledge about the monkeypox virus. Results: In total, 5874 medical students and clinical doctors from 17 Arab countries participated in this study. Only 13.8% (n = 812) of respondents have ever received information about mpox during their studies in medicine. The mean knowledge score was 13.84, and the median score was 15 (range 1–34). More than half (51.3%, n = 3012) have heard about mpox before. A low proportion of the participants had a good level of knowledge on mpox. Only 11.7% of respondents had correctly identified the natural host and the incubation period of mpox. More than half (58.9%) were aware of the signs and symptoms of mpox. Few respondents (28%) believed that mpox and smallpox have similar signs and symptoms. Specialist doctors had higher knowledge of mpox (AOR = 2.96, 95% CI = 2.24–3.92, p

Abstract

Our aim was to perform a meta-analysis to evaluate the possible link between diabetes and high levels of immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies against Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH). The search included PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. Inclusion criteria were any controlled clinical trials or observational studies that measured the level of IgM antibodies against GnRH hormone in diabetic patients, we excluded case reports, editorials, and animal studies. RevMan software, version 5.4 (The Cochrane Collaboration 2020) was used to perform the meta-analysis. Following the screening, three studies were included in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis included 99 patients in the diabetes group and 318 healthy persons in the control group. The pooled effect showed no statistically significant association between diabetes and the prevalence of GnRH IgM antibodies compared with the control group (risk ratio {RR} = 1.64, 95% CI = 0.96 to 2.79, p-value = 0.03). The pooled effect showed a statistically significant association between diabetes and increased levels of GnRH IgM antibodies compared with the control group (mean difference {MD} = 2.13, 95% CI = 0.25 to 4.02, p-value = 0.03). Our study found a significant association between diabetes and increased levels of GnRH IgM antibodies. Therefore, GnRH IgM antibodies may play a role in the pathogenesis of diabetes or may be considered a unique immunological reaction in diabetic patients. More multicenter randomized studies are needed to support our results confirming the positive relationship between diabetes and high levels of IgM antibodies against GnRH hormone.
