Bacground: This study aimed to examine the relationship between COVID-19 perceived risk and attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccination in healthcare professionals.
Subjects And Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study included a total of 580 healthcare professionals.
Results: The healthcare professionals' COVID-19 Perceived Risk Scale (CPRS) and Attitudes towards COVID-19 Vaccine Scale (ATV-COVID-19) mean scores were 31.36±5.16 and 3.00±0.61, respectively. A statistically significant negative correlation was found between their CPRS and ATV-COVID-19 mean scores.
Conclusions: The healthcare professionals had a high COVID-19 perceived risk and moderately positive attitudes towards COVID-19 vaccine.

Orbital involvement is not uncommon and may require orbital exenteration. The management of orbital involvement in invasive fungal sinusitis is challenging, ranging from conservative retrobulbar amphotericin B injection in the early stages to orbital exenteration in late stages.

Background: Self-reported health problems following severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection are common and often include relatively non-specific complaints such as fatigue, exertional dyspnoea, concentration or memory disturbance and sleep problems. The long-term prognosis of such post-acute sequelae of COVID-19/post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS) is unknown, and data finding and correlating organ dysfunction and pathology with self-reported symptoms in patients with non-recovery from PCS is scarce. We wanted to describe clinical characteristics and diagnostic findings among patients with PCS persisting for >1 year and assessed risk factors for PCS persistence versus improvement.
