This study examined dietetics students' perceptions of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic impacts on academics and mental and physical health. Data were collected via a cross-sectional online survey in February to March 2021 from undergraduate dietetics students across the United States. Among the 526 students who participated, during the fall 2020 semester, 87% experienced increased stress, 64% reported mental health concerns, and 32% reported disordered eating. Sixty-two percent...

CONCLUSIONS: A mask should not be worn for more than 2 h; however, the frequency of mask replacement can vary, depending on the number of patients encountered and the working environment.

CONCLUSIONS: As expected, SARS-CoV-2 was able to spread rapidly among a submarine crew. In 11 days, the infection spread to 64 total crewmembers out of 128. Outbreaks such as these have played a role in future COVID-19 testing and mitigation protocols that have affected day-to-day operations.

CONCLUSIONS: Pregnant women during the first and second waves of COVID-19 had lower fear of childbirth scores than pregnant women before the pandemic, indicating less fear of childbirth during the pandemic. This could be explained by an increased level of information, more time to consume information, and better work-life balance with more people working at home during the pandemic.

In order to aid imaging physicians to effectively screen chest radiography medical images for presence of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), a novel computer aided diagnosis technology for automatic processing of COVID-19 images is proposed based on two-dimensional variational mode decomposition (2D-VMD) and locally linear embedding (LLE). 2D-VMD algorithm is used to decompose normal and COVID-19 images, and then feature extraction of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) using Gabor filter. To...

Involvement of gastrointestinal tract has been reported in individuals diagnosed with COVID-19. Herein, we report a case of 65-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis who was initially diagnosed with COVID-19 on a screening test. During the course of the disease, her respiratory symptoms remained mild; however, she developed acute pancreatitis leading to severe hypertension and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state. During the...

Since severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was noted to cause coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in 2019, there have been many trials to develop vaccines against the virus. Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine as a type of the vaccine has been developed and commercialized rapidly, but there was not enough time to verify the long-term safety. An 82-year-old female patient was admitted to the emergency room with dyspnea accompanied by stridor three days after the 3rd...

CONCLUSION: Radiological findings seen in MIS-C vary according to the affected system. There is no specific radiologic finding for this disease, but radiological findings can assist in the evaluation of affected systems and guide treatment.

CONCLUSION: Clinical experience from this patient population underscored the significant medical, emotional, neurocognitive and functional sequelae of PASC. Management of these individuals requires a collaborative approach with the availability of psychotherapeutic interventions, pharmacologic treatment, neurocognitive assessment and remediation to address these symptoms.

The COVID-19 outbreak caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) continues to have high incidence and mortality rate globally. To meet the increasingly growing demand for new therapeutic drugs and vaccines, researchers are developing different diagnostic techniques focused on screening new drugs in clinical use, developing an antibody targeting a SARS-CoV-2 receptor, or interrupting infection/replication mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2. Although many prestigious research...

CONCLUSION: We situate platform drivers within the broad context of precarious employment and recommend organizational- and government-level interventions to prevent digital platform worker COVID-19 risks and to assist workers ill with COVID-19. Measures to protect the health of platform workers would benefit public health aims by reducing transmission by drivers to families, customers, and consequently, the greater population.

This study aims to compare the depression levels and the frequency of domestic violence cases with the parameters that can alter those levels and frequencies. Studies on people living in quarantine conditions at home during the Covid 19 Pandemic show that violence has increased. However, the literature shows lack of similar studies in Turkey. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a research on the connection between domestic violence, depression level and the Covid-19 pandemic. The sample...

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has imposed a series of challenges on the scientific community. One of the biggest was the development of safe and effective vaccines in record time, which could be achieved through a global effort. A topic of great discussion has been the technology surrounding these vaccines: ranging from the well-known inactivated virus vaccines to the latest RNA vaccines. As vaccines became available, another point also came into question: their efficacy and effectiveness...

CONCLUSION: Current findings concluded that the prevalence of GAD among mothers attending perinatal service during COVID-19 was high. The covariates like being town resident, lower-income status, occupation status, having a chronic illness, having a positive family history of anxiety or mood disorder, perceived social support, and fear of the COVID-19 were significantly associated with generalized anxiety disorder among mothers. Mothers who visit perinatal services should be given special...

PURPOSE: It is aimed to evaluate the effect of hopelessness on the perceived partner behaviors during Covid-19 pandemic process in Turkey.

CONCLUSIONS: Kodecytes can be used to rapidly create in-house simulated yet realistic antibody screening and identification panels suitable for large scale training in the recognition and grading of serologic reactions.
