Trust in government moderates the association between fear of COVID-19 as well as empathic concern and preventive behaviour.

With the COVID-19 pandemic, behavioural scientists aimed to illuminate reasons why people comply with (or not) large-scale cooperative activities. Here we investigated the motives that underlie support for COVID-19 preventive behaviours in a sample of 12,758 individuals from 34 countries. We hypothesized that the associations of empathic prosocial concern and fear of disease with support towards preventive COVID-19 behaviours would be moderated by trust in the government.

The Coronavirus Anxiety Scale: Cross-national measurement invariance and convergent validity evidence.

Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS) is a widely used measure that captures somatic symptoms of coronavirus-related anxiety. In a large-scale collaboration spanning 60 countries ( = 21,513), we examined the CAS's measurement invariance and assessed the convergent validity of CAS scores in relation to the fear of COVID-19 (FCV-19S) and the satisfaction with life (SWLS-3) scales. We utilized both conventional exact invariance tests and alignment procedures, with results revealing that the single-factor model fit the data well in almost all countries.

Histopathological autopsy findings in lungs of pregnant and postpartum women who died of COVID-19 infections.

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 outbreak (COVID-19) caused by the SARS-CoV coronavirus, has been declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization on 11 March 2020, as a result of which about 315,000,000 people all over the world have been infected and more than 5,000,000 died.

Objective: Many scientific articles have been published concerning histopathological changes in different organs, but data concerning the lung changes of pregnant and postpartum period women who died of COVID-19 infections are still scarce. The aim of our study was to review and summarize autopsy findings and histopathological changes in lungs of pregnant and postpartum period women who died of COVID-19 infections in Armenia during 2020-2021.

CT-fusion-guided endovascular repair of iatrogenic common iliac artery aneurysm: A case report.

We present a case of a CT-fusion-guided endovascular repair of an iatrogenic common iliac artery aneurysm in a 60-year-old male with a history of robotic prostatectomy with wide lymphadenectomy. Taking into account iatrogenic nature, rapid evolvement, previous surgical intervention, and oncological history, our team, including vascular and endovascular surgeons, refused open surgery in favor of endovascular iliac repair. We coiled the ipsilateral hypogastric artery and then deployed 2 Fluency Plus stent grafts from the common iliac into the external iliac artery.
