Prevalence of Depression, Anxiety, Distress and Insomnia and Related Factors in Healthcare Workers During COVID-19 Pandemic in Turkey.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of depression, anxiety, distress, and insomnia and related factors in healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey. We applied the study survey online to HCWs during the pandemic in Turkey between 23 April and 23 May 2020. We used the sociodemographic data form, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, General Anxiety Disorder-7, Insomnia Severity Index, and Impact of Event Scale-Revised.

Prevalence of allergic rhinitis symptoms and positive skin-prick test results in patients with dry eye.

Background: Dry eye is characterized by decreased tear production and/or increased evaporation rates of the tear film barrier. Allergic rhinitis is an inflammatory disease that develops through immunoglobulin E in the rhino-ocular mucosa due to allergens. To investigate the prevalence of allergic rhinitis symptoms and positive skin-prick test results in patients with dry eye.

Two cases of tinea ciliaris with blepharitis due to Microsporum audouinii and Trichophyton verrucosum and review of the literature.

Dermatophytes are rarely taken into account among the causes of blepharitis. In our report, we describe a 69-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman with chronic blepharitis for 10 years and 4 years respectively, in whom we examined the scales and pulled eyelashes on direct microscopy and isolated Microsporum audouinii and Trichophyton verrrucosum in the culture. We emphasise that dermatophytes may play a role in the etiopathogenesis of chronic blepharitis.

Women's perceptions and attitudes about cervical cancer in Turkey: Kato's device as an alternative to the Pap smear.

Aims: To determine the status of women's perception and attitudes about cervical cancer and their thoughts on Kato's self-sampling device.

Materials And Methods: This descriptive research was conducted between July- December 2012 with a study populationof married women older than 18 years.

Results: A total of 246 women volunteered, with a mean age of 34.

Two N-substituted 3,5-diphenyl-2-pyrazoline-1-thiocarboxamides.

The structures of N-ethyl-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-pyrazoline-1-thiocarboxamide, C19H20FN3OS, (I), and 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-N-methyl-5-(4-methylphenyl)-2-pyrazoline-1-thiocarboxamide, C18H18FN3S, (II), have similar geometric parameters. The methoxy/methyl-substituted phenyl groups are almost perpendicular to the pyrazoline (pyraz) ring [interplanar angles of 89.29 (8) and 80.

Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of some 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives.

Six new 5-(1-/2-naphthyloxymethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-thione, 2-amino-5-(1-/2-naphthyloxymethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole, 5-(1-/2-naphthyloxymethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3H)-one derivatives have been synthesized from 1-and/or 2-naphthol. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by IR and 1H NMR spectral data and microanalysis. The antimicrobial properties of the compounds were investigated against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans, C.

Synthesis and anti-inflammatory activity of 1-acylthiosemicarbazides, 1,3,4-oxadiazoles, 1,3,4-thiadiazoles and 1,2,4-triazole-3-thiones.

Sixteen 1-(2-naphthyloxyacetyl)-4-substituted-3-thiosemicarbazide, 2-(2-naphthyloxymethyl)-5-substitutedamino-1,3,4-oxadiazole, 2-(2-naphthyloxymethyl)-5-substitutedamino-1,3,4-thiadiazole and 5-(2-naphthyloxymethyl)-4-substituted-1,2,4-triazole-3thione derivatives have been prepared and evaluated as orally active anti-inflammatory agents with reduced side-effects. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by IR and 1H NMR spectral data and microanalysis. The anti-inflammatory and ulcerogenic activities of the compounds were compared with naproxen, indomethacin and phenylbutazone.
