Vibration analysis of nanobeams subjected to gradient-type heating due to a static magnetic field under the theory of nonlocal elasticity.

Nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) have received great interest from researchers around the world since the advent of nanotechnology and nanoengineering. This can be attributed due to the unique characteristics of NEMS devices and their wide range of applications. Among these applications, nanobeams and nanotubes now have an important role in the design of a variety of NEMS engineering devices.

Evaluating Factors Related to Health Anxiety in COVID-19 Patients.

Background: The COVID-19 outbreak affects both the physical and mental health of individuals and society. This study investigates the factors related to health anxiety in COVID-19 patients and explores their sociodemographic-, disease-, and treatment-related factors, trait anxiety, and characteristics of secure or insecure attachment.

Methods: The sample consisted of 420 individuals aged 18-65 years and diagnosed with COVID-19 between March 15 and May 15, 2020.

Effects of COVID-19 Outbreak on Children's Mental Health: A Comparative Study with Children Diagnosed and Isolated from Their Parents.

Objective: The COVID-19 outbreak has negatively affected children in many ways. This study aimed to compare the psychological responses of children exposed to different levels of stress during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Methods: The anxiety levels, negative thoughts, and quality of life of COVID-19-positive children with COVID-19-positive parents (Child+ group, n=17), COVID-19-negative children who are separated from COVID-19-positive parents (Parent+ group, n=59), and a control group (n=64) were compared.

Exposure assessment of pharmaceutical powders based on an environmental monitoring method: a pilot study.

Background: About 8 million healthcare workers in the USA are potentially exposed to hazardous drugs or their toxic metabolites over a long period of time despite the fact that both the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the European Parliament recommend the monitoring of exposure among workers dealing with substances which have carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic effects on the reproductive system. The objective of this study is to determine exposure to active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) among pharmaceutical industry workers, and to develop a methodology which promotes the accurate monitoring, evaluation and control of exposure to active pharmaceutical ingredients, also in compliance with good manufacturing practice.

Material And Methods: The pilot study was designed in accordance with "Sterile Drug Products Produced by Aseptic Processing - Current Good Manufacturing Practice," issued by the U.

An Unusual Case: The Comorbidity of Mood Disorder and 17-α-Hydroxylase Deficiency.

17-α-hydroxylase enzyme has a crucial role in the steroid biosynthesis and, deficiency of this enzyme is an autosomal recessive monogenic disorder which is one of the two hypertensive form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. It is characterized with the deficiency in glucocorticoid, adrenal androgen, and sex steroid synthesis with concomitant mineralocorticoid excess due to genetic defect in steroid biosynthesis. The relationship of hormone system physiology with psychiatric signs and syndromes are complex.
