Most students (82.6%) who ate less or much less than usual had\u0000experienced high or severe stress due to academic-related stressors of ‘strenuous task’ (P=0.007). Moreover, 81.5% of students who ate more than\u0000usual had experienced high or severe stress when they were nervous and stressed (P=0.004). When feeling “difficulties pile up” and during times\u0000when students “lacked confidence” due to teaching-related stressors, 71.7% and 66.3% of the participants experienced mild/moderate stress,\u0000respectively and ate less or much less than usual (P<0.05).\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000We were able to determine the effect of academic-related stressors (ARS) and teaching and learning-related stressors (TLRS) on eating habits.

The Influenza virus has\u0000been evolving genetically with time, which makes an escape into the host cell easier. The H1N1 Influenza pandemic started in 1918; by 1957,\u0000H1N1 was replaced by H2N2; following this, H3N2 emerged in 1968, replacing H2N2; in 2009, the H1N1 influenza re-emerged and lasted up to\u00002019. The increasing cases of the Influenza virus have consistently indicated a sudden re-emergence of a pandemic. To provide a perspective\u0000overview of the re-emergence of the Influenza pandemic. With published literature from the past. All studies have been extracted from widely\u0000referred databases, such as PubMed and Embase. This data has been extracted in a text file by running several strategic individual searches using\u0000specific MeSH terms. In the contemporary world, influenza is still a constant threat. Because of the virus's fast mutation rate due to antigenic drift\u0000and shift, increased international travel, and urbanization, it is crucial to have effective surveillance, early diagnosis, and quick reaction\u0000mechanisms. Public health initiatives, antiviral medications, and vaccination efforts are essential for reducing the effects of seasonal epidemics and\u0000possible pandemics. The resurgence of the influenza virus underscores the need for prioritizing readiness and teamwork. With the help of scientific\u0000and technological developments and lessons learned from history, we can lessen the effects of future outbreaks. This finding opens up new avenues\u0000for investigation and provides insight into the possibility of pandemic recurrence in the future.\u0000","PeriodicalId":508641,"journal":{"name":"New Emirates Medical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140493118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
