Objective: To analyze worldwide research trends and patterns on COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy (VH) for the study period from January 2021 to December 2022. Materials and methods: Current descriptive bibliometric study used SciVerse Scopus to retrieve relevant articles. Results: The search strategy found 2,886 articles. Scholars from the United States participated in one-third of the retrieved articles. International research collaboration in the field was relatively strong. The retrieved articles focused on healthcare workers, epidemiologic studies, and misinformation. In addition to “Vaccine” and “Vaccines” journals, Lancet and BMJ journals had a leading role in the emergence of the topic. Leading global universities such as Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University, and University College London were most prolific in publishing articles on the topic. Conclusions: All countries and regions need information on VH to increase public awareness and counteract antivaccination movements.

Xenotransplantation

Organ transplant is a crucial therapeutic strategy offering a life‐saving and transformative medical intervention. It provides an opportunity to improve their quality of life and increase their lifespan. The shortage of organs remains a critical global challenge, leading to a prolonged waiting times for organ receivers, which contributes to an increase in morbidity and mortality rates. Hence, xenotransplantation offered a promising solution to the global shortage of organs through the use of animal organs, leading to an increase in donor availability, reducing waiting times, minimizing organ trafficking, improving genetic engineering advancements, and driving scientific innovation. Even though xenotransplantation has many benefits in the clinical setting, it has many barriers that are hindering its achievements and constraining its occurrence. Some barriers to xenotransplant are general, such as the immunological barrier, while others are specific to certain regions due to local causes. The Arab region exhibits disparities in clinical settings compared to the global context, marked by the huge economic crisis and a shortage of trained healthcare professionals. Considering the huge resources and advancements needed in the field of xenotransplantation, this review aims to explore the specific barriers toward xenotransplantation in the Arab countries, highlighting the challenges to overcome these barriers.

“…The reduction decision also included the rediscount rate, the overnight repo rate, the central bank's main interest rate and the one-night deposit window rate. The central bank also cut monetary interest rates by 300 basis points and reduced the yield on one-night certificates by 50 basis points, from 10.25 percent to 9.25 percent (Abid et al, 2022). These measures included allowing banks to reschedule loans, particularly in virus-affected sectors, at no cost until the end of 2020; and lowering the cash reserve requirement for banks from 7 percent to 5 percent, releasing an additional JD 550 million (USD775 million).…”

Global economic growth projections have been revised downward in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. This adjustment mirrors a substantial global economic decline brought about by COVID-19-induced lockdowns, which greatly restricted labor force movement and disrupted international trade, with Jordan aligning itself with this downward trend. This report provides a comprehensive sector-specific assessment of the COVID-19 impacts on the Jordanian economy, drawing on Jordanian official reports, various news sources, and expert opinions. Jordan's battle with COVID-19 extends beyond public health, encompassing significant economic challenges, with the ongoing economic struggle potentially proving more formidable than the health crisis. Therefore, Jordan's primary focus should be on establishing a precisely targeted social safety net, given the pandemic's highlighting of widespread informality in employment across the Middle East and North Africa region, as it navigates its path to economic recovery.
