Understanding coronavirus
\"Since the identification of the first cases of the coronavirus in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, there has been a significant amount of confusion regarding the origin and spread of the so-called 'coronavirus', officially named SARS-CoV-2, and the cause of the disease COVID-19. Conflicting messages from the media and officials across different countries and organizations, the abundance of disparate sources of information, unfounded conspiracy theories on the origins of the newly emerging virus and the inconsistent public health measures across different countries, have all served to increase the level of anxiety in the population. Where did the virus come from? How is it transmitted? How does it cause disease? Is it like flu? What is a pandemic? What can we do to stop its spread? Written by a leading expert, this concise and accessible introduction provides answers to the most common questions surrounding coronavirus for a general audience\"-- Provided by publisher.

COVID-19 salgınının diş hekimleri üzerinde yarattığı gelecek kaygısı ve stresin değerlendirilmesi
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı yeni tip korona virüs hastalığının (COVID-19) diş hekimleri üzerinde yarattığı gelecek kaygısı ve stres düzeyini incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: TC Sağlık Bakanlığı ve klinik araştırmalar etik kurulundan alınan izin sonrası online formlar aracılığı ile anket oluşturuldu. Ülkemizde yaşayan özel ve/veya kamu kurumlarında diş hekimi olarak çalışan, 25-55 yaş arası kişiler çalışmaya dahil edildi. Tüm katılımcılara; sosyodemografik ve klinik değerlendirme formu, Algılanan Stres Ölçeği (ASÖ) ve araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan gelecek ile ilgili kaygı düzeyini değerlendiren gelecek kaygısı formu uygulandı. Bulgular: Çalışmamıza 228 diş hekimi dahil edildi. 118 kişi (%52) kadın ve 110 kişi (%48) erkek idi. Katılımcılardan 161 kişi (%70) evli iken 53 kişi (%23,24) bekardı. Bu kişilerden 77 kişi (%33,77) 25-35 yaş aralığında, 74 kişi (%32,4) 35-45 yaş aralığında idi. ASÖ’den aldıkları puan 40,92±8,68 iken, gelecek kaygısının değerlendirildiği formdan 114,18±33,19 hesap edildi. Sonuç: Bulgularımız diş hekimlerinde Covid-19’a bağlı yüksek stres düzeyini ve toplumsal gelecek kaygısını işaret etmektedir. Bu nedenle, salgın sürecinde diş hekimlerinin stres düzeylerini ve kaygılarını azaltacak önlemlerin alınması önerilmektedir.

Covid-19 enfeksiyonu tanısı ile yoğun bakımda takip edilen kritik hastaların retrospektif değerlendirilmesi: tek merkez deneyimi
Giriş: 11 Mart tarihinde, Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (DSÖ) tarafından ilan edilen COVİD-19 salgını sonrası, Mart’ın ikinci haftasından itibaren ülkemizde olgular bildirilmiştir. COVİD-19 olgularının %5’inde hastalığın seyri sırasında yoğun bakıma ünitesine (YBÜ) yatış ihtiyacı gelişmektedir. Bu çalışma ile YBÜ’de izlediğimiz kritik durumdaki COVİD-19 hastalarının klinik özelliklerinin tanınması, takip ve tedavisinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve yöntem: Bu çalışmada; Mart-Haziran 2020 tarihleri arasında, COVİD-19 enfeksiyonu tanısı alan 180 hastanın, Dahiliye YBÜ’ye kabul edilen 18 (%12,2) hasta değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: YBÜ'ye kabul edilen 18 hastadan 13'ünün (%72,2) invaziv solunum desteğine ihtiyacı vardı. Geri kalan hastalara (5 hasta, %27,8) non-invaziv ventilasyon tedavisi uygulandı. Hastaların 16'sında (%88,9) en az bir komorbiditeye rastlandı. Yoğun bakım ünitesine yatan hastaların, 28 günlük mortalitesi %55,6 iken hastane mortalitesi %61,1 idi. 60 günlük mortalite ise %66,7 olarak bulundu. Tartışma: YBÜ’ye kabul oranımız ve ölüm oranlarımız Çin, Amerika ve İtalya’dan bildirilen çalışmalara göre daha yüksek bulunmuş ve bunun muhtemel sebeplerinin hastaların ciddiyeti, invaziv mekanik ventilasyon ihtiyacı olduğu düşünülmüştür. Sonuç: Bu çalışma sonuçlarına göre COVİD-19 kritik seyirli hastaların risk faktörleri, takip ve tedavisinde kullandığımız yöntemler ortaya konulmuştur. Bu sonuçların gelecekteki takip ve tedavi yöntemlerine katkı sağlayabileceği düşünülmekle birlikte yeni çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.

Assessment and characterisation of post‐COVID‐19 manifestations
Background Post‐COVID‐19 symptoms and diseases appeared on many survivors from COVID‐19 which are similar to that of the post‐severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) fatigue. Hence, the study aims to investigate and characterise the manifestations which appear after eradication of the coronavirus infection and its relation to disease severity. Method About 287 survivors from COVID‐19 were included in the study, each received a questionnaire divided into three main parts starting from subjects’ demographic data, data about the COVID‐19 status and other comorbidities of the subject, and finally data about post‐COVID‐19 manifestations. Response surface plots were produced to visualise the link between several factors. Results Only 10.8% of all subjects have no manifestation after recovery from the disease while a large percentage of subjects suffered from several symptoms and diseases. The most common symptom reported was fatigue (72.8%), more critical manifestations like stroke, renal failure, myocarditis and pulmonary fibrosis were reported by a few percent of the subjects. There was a relationship between the presence of other comorbidities and severity of the disease. Also, the severity of COVID‐19 was related to the severity of post‐COVID‐19 manifestations. Conclusion The post‐COVID‐19 manifestation is largely similar to the post‐SARS syndrome. All subjects recovered from COVID‐19 should undergo long‐term monitoring for evaluation and treatment of symptoms and conditions that might be precipitated with the new coronavirus infection.

Parenting During COVID‐19: A Study of Parents' Experiences Across Gender and Income Levels
Objective This study describes parenting experiences at the beginning of the COVID‐19 pandemic and examines differences across parent gender and family income level. Background The COVID‐19 pandemic had unprecedented impacts on families. Many parents faced employment changes, including job loss, reduced pay, and working remotely, while simultaneously experiencing increased childcare responsibilities due to school and childcare closures. Research is needed to document the ongoing impact of these changes on parents and families. Method An online convenience sample of parents (N = 1,009) reported on their parenting experiences during the beginning of the COVID‐19 pandemic (April 2020) in an online survey. Results Parents reported high levels of depression, anxiety, and parental burnout. Further, many parents reported increased negative emotions, such as anger and worry, while simultaneously feeling closer to their children and offering more comfort and soothing. Differences across gender and income levels are presented. Conclusion These results align with other emerging findings of increased impacts to mental health and well‐being for parents and children and document the disproportionate effects on women and low‐income families. Implications Implications include needing additional support (e.g., financial, caregiving) for parents and families as we continue to face the impacts and consequences of COVID‐19.
