“…Quarantine‐related lifestyle changes led to different unfavorable conditions such as psychosocial distress, depression, and stress. 2 , 7 COVID‐19 pandemic‐related studies reported higher levels of anxiety similar to the previous investigations in earlier pandemics, such as the outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome‐related to coronavirus in 2003. In an analysis of the Chinese population, 53.8% of individuals reported moderate‐to‐severe psychosocial impact associated with the COVID‐19 pandemic.…”

Introduction: COVID-19-related anxiety and preventative actions like the widespread shutdown of beauty-related services emerged as a stressful condition for BDD patients seeking expert opinions. Material and methods:We conducted a cross-sectional investigation to assess anxiety symptoms (by CDAS) and BDD (via BDD-YBOCS questionnaire) in patients referred to the esthetic clinic.Results: A total of 120 individuals (106 females and 14 males; mean age: 45.53 ± 11.84) were evaluated. 13.3% of subjects were diagnosed with BDD; 79.2%, 17.5%, and 3.3% of them perceived none or mild, moderate, and severe symptoms of anxiety, respectively. Conclusion:Anxiety was not connected with BDD in our investigation. Further evaluation of other psychiatric disorders associated with anxiety and BDD was recommended.

There are numerous types of skincare, each with its own set of benefits based on key ingredients. This may be difficult for beginners who are purchasing skincare for the first time due to a lack of knowledge about skincare and their own skin concerns. Hence, based on this problem, it is possible to find out the right skin concern that can be handled in each skincare product automatically by multi-class text classification. The purpose of this research is to build a deep learning model capable of predicting skin concerns that each skincare product can treat. By comparing the performance and results of predicting the correct skin condition for each skincare product description using both long short-term memory (LSTM) and bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM), The best results are given by Bi-LSTM, which has an accuracy score of 98.04% and a loss score of 19.19%. Meanwhile, LSTM results have an accuracy score of 94.12% and a loss score of 19.91%.

Understanding the factors that influence Entrance Surface Dose (ESD) in neonatal and adult chest X-ray examinations is crucial for improving radiation safety. This study explores these influences, along with patterns in chest X-ray usage in Bangladesh, highlighting demographic trends, symptoms, and diagnostic outcomes. Conducted in a single hospital in Dhaka, the study assessed radiation doses in 150 adults and 150 neonates. Data collection involved using a 1000 mA X-ray machine for adults (aged 11-80 years) and a portable Medion MI 100 MOVX Mobile X-ray Machine for neonates (aged 1-20 days), with participants chosen through simple random sampling. X-ray exposure parameters (kVp and mAs) were recorded, and ESD (measured in milligrays) was calculated using a formula tailored for adults and neonates. The results showed a higher number of males (57.3%) than females (42.7%) seeking X-rays. The most common symptoms were fever (51.3%), cold and cough (32%), and chest pain (13.3%). Pulmonary inflammatory lesions were observed in 13.3% of cases, with pleural effusion and cardiomegaly present in 8% and 6.7% of patients, respectively, while 72% had normal findings. There was a noticeable link between certain symptoms and diagnoses, such as chest pain correlating with cardiomegaly and fever with pulmonary inflammatory lesions. ESD levels generally increased with age, though there was a slight decrease in the 51-60 age group. These findings provide valuable insights into chest X-ray practices, which could guide better patient care and targeted interventions in Bangladesh.
