Article Synopsis
- Flow diverter (FD) stents are used to treat giant aneurysms by minimizing blood flow, but they can complicate the treatment when nearby arteries, like the ophthalmic artery (OA), get occluded.
- This study examined two types of FD stents, FRED4017 and FRED4518, focusing on how their differing effective metal surface area (EMSA) values influence occlusion in the OA.
- Results showed that FRED4017, with higher EMSA at the aneurysm neck, caused more occlusion in the OA compared to FRED4518, suggesting that choosing stents with lower EMSA values at the OA inlet may reduce risks for patients with nearby jailed arteries.
Background: Informal caregivers offer a range of support-physical, emotional, and social-to individuals under their care, thereby exposing themselves to potential mental health risks. During the outbreak of COVID-19, caregivers have emerged as a demographic particularly vulnerable to mental health issues owing to their caregiving roles. The aim of the study is to identify the determinants influencing COVID-19-related stress among caregivers of individuals at elevated risk of coronavirus infection.

Materials And Methods: The cross-sectional study sample consisted of 183 participants diagnosed with OCD according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) criteria.
Background And Objectives: Numerous studies have been conducted on the psychological effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, how the mental health of health workers will be affected among the number of peaks during the pandemic has not been evaluated yet. The study aims to investigate the effects of the first, second, and third peaks of COVID-19 on anxiety, depression, and stress symptoms in healthcare workers.

This study aims to compare the levels of anxiety, depression, and stress of healthcare workers struggling with pandemic between the first and second peaks.
Methods: A total of 2460 healthcare workers, 1051 from the first peak period and 1409 from the second peak period, were included in the study.
