Mental health impact was assessed by using the 9item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) and the 7-item Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) questionnaires. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was done to determine the risk factors of mental health outcomes. Results: Among the 548 HCWs surveyed; 64.8% were nurses and 50.0% aged from 26-30 years old. About 52.0% worked in Benha University Hospital, 21.2% worked in Toukh Fever Hospital, and 26.8% worked in Qaha Central Hospital. A considerable proportion of HCWs had symptoms of anxiety, depression and insomnia. Nurses, workers aged from 26-30, those working in Qaha Central Hospital and those who had shift hours from 7-10 experienced more severe symptom levels of depression, anxiety, and insomnia. Nurses were associated with severe symptoms of anxiety, depression and insomnia. Conclusion:The COVID-19 pandemic represents a new working challenge for HCWs and intervention strategies to prevent depression and anxiety to reduce the risk of adverse mental health outcomes are needed.

Patients and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Benha University Hospital Dermatology Clinic from 1 st August 2022 till the end of October 2022. The study included 180 of psoriasis patients using an interview questionnaire incorporating the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and Work limitation questionnaire (WLQ).

Background: Medical professionals around the world are tasked with the responsibility of graduating well-educated and competent graduate medical student. This desired outcome can be achieved by ensuring satisfactory academic performance and academic success. Aim: is to assess the relationship between academic problems and academic performance among the new integrated system students at Benha Faculty of Medicine. Method: an observational cross-sectional study was conducted on 318 medical students at Benha Faculty of Medicine, using a self-administered questionnaire that consists of sociodemographic, the academic problems facing students and the reasons for the attendance or absence of students' theoretical and practical lecture. Results: Among the academic problems, there were highly statistical significant differences between the studied groups at 2 nd , 3 rd and 4 th levels-regarding academic problems related to professor and academic problems related to courses (P=0.001). Also, there were statistical significant differences between the studied groups at different levels regarding practical part (P=0.003) and academic problems related to equipment (P=0.03). There were highly statistical significant differences between the studied groups achieved different academic performance (GPA) regarding academic problems related to professor (P=0.001), courses (P=0.002) and exams (P=0.01). Regarding the correlation between lecture attendance and academic performance (GPA), there was statistical significant strong positive relationship between theoretical and practical lecture, attendance and academic performance (GPA) (p=0.001). Conclusions: There was statistical significant strong positive relationship between theoretical and practical lecture, attendance and academic performance (GPA).

Background:The late luteal phase of a woman's menstrual cycle is associated with a collection of a variety of mood-related, physical, and behavioral symptoms that are referred to together as premenstrual symptoms. The purpose of this research was to investigate whether or not there is a correlation between COVID-19-induced premenstrual symptom syndrome (PTSS) and premenstrual symptoms in Japanese high school students.

Results: Our data and work indicate that there is increase in PMS .PMDD during the pandemic among the studied group, these changes were linked to psychological stress related to the covid pandemic. Our study showed a relation between front line work and the post traumatic stress symptoms this is in line with previous studies in literature that suggest worsening of PMS symptoms during stressful events, no one can deny that front line work is more stressful than those on the second line which confirm the role of stress in these events. When we compared the difference in mean premenstrual symptoms total score and intensity of menstrual pain our study confirmed the relation in the group of PTSS. According to the results of regression analysis there was a correlations of significance between BMI and FCV-19 score and a correlations of high significance between intensity of menstrual pain and IES-R score of the study group characteristics and the total premenstrual score.
