“…Gender is one of the factors that affect fear. Although there are different results in the literature, there are findings of women being affected by fear or phobia more frequently than men in a ratio of 2:1 [22]. In this study, women's COVID-19 fear were found to be significantly higher than man.…”

The study aims to determine the fear of coronavirus and its affecting factors. It was conducted as a cross-sectional study. Data on participants were collected using an online questionnaire spread throughout social media, e-mail, and WhatsApp groups. Socio-demographic questionnaire form, and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were used to collect data. Number, percentage, mean, t-test, One-Way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation analysis were used to evaluate the research data. The research was completed with 727 people. A statistically significant relation was found between the COVID-19 fear with age, gender, marital status, having children, having a chronic disease, working status and being health personnel, watching coronavirus news, and always talking about coronavirus at-home settings. Accordingly, it is recommended to determine the fear of coronavirus in society, to identify high-risk individuals by performing community screenings, and to provide psychological support. It is very important to diversify and implement protective intervention programs to reduce some of the psychological consequences of fear and fear.

“…Demographic and clinical information was recorded before all procedures, including symptoms, time from symptoms to diagnosis, physical examination, misdiagnosis, and imaging findings. NSAIDs treatment was given to all patients before operation, and a visual analogue scale (VAS) ( 24 ) was used to evaluate pain pre and post-treatment. We used the modified Harris score system to evaluate hip joint function ( 10 ).…”

AimsProximal femoral osteoid osteoma (OO) is extremely easy to be misdiagnosed or missed. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyze the clinical data of patients with proximal femoral OO in order to determine the clinical manifestation and imaging characteristics of the disease, so as to provide help for the preoperative diagnosis and clinical treatment of proximal femoral OO.MethodsThis was a retrospective study involving 35 patients with proximal femoral OO admitted into our hospital from January 2015 to January 2021. The baseline characteristics of the participants included; 24 males and 11 females, aged between 13 and 25 (mean 16.2) years old, and the course of the disease was 1 to 14 (mean 6.3) months. We used previous medical experience records of the patients to analyze for the causes of misdiagnosis. Moreover, we compared the difference between preoperative and postoperative treatment practices in alleviating pain in OO patients and restoring hip function. Follow-ups were carried out regularly, and patients advised to avoid strenuous exercises for 3 months.ResultsWe followed up 35 patients (25 intercortical, 4 sub-periosteal, and 6 medullary) for an average of 41.4 months. We found that 15 patients (42.9%) had been misdiagnosed of synovitis, perthes disease, osteomyelitis, intra-articular infection, joint tuberculosis and hip impingement syndrome, whose average time from symptoms to diagnosis were 6.3 months. Postoperative pain score and joint function score improved significantly compared with preoperative, and complications were rare.ConclusionOpen surgical resection constitutes an effective treatment for proximal femoral OO by accurately and completely removing the nidus. Wrong choice of examination, and the complexity and diversity of clinical manifestations constitutes the main reasons for the misdiagnosis of proximal femoral OO.

Aims: Herein, we examined the efficacy of open resection in proximal femoral osteoid osteoma (OO) treatment. Besides, we analysed the causes of misdiagnosis of proximal femoral OO to provide a reference for its diagnosis and treatment.Methods: This was a retrospective study involving 29 patients with proximal femoral OO admitted into our hospital from January 2010 to January 2018. The baseline characteristics of the participants included; 21 males and 9 females, aged between 13 to 25 (mean 16.2) years old, and the course of the disease was 1 to 14 (mean 6.1) months. We used previous medical experience records of the patients to analyze for the causes of misdiagnosis. Moreover, we compared the difference between preoperative and postoperative treatment practices in alleviating pain in OO patients and restoring hip function. Follow-ups were conducted regularly, and patients advised to avoid strenuous exercises for 3 months.Results: We followed up 29 patients (21 intercortical, 2 sub-periosteal, and 6 medullary) for an average of 42.5 months. We found that 13 patients (44.8%) had been misdiagnosed of synovitis, Perthes disease, osteomyelitis, intra-articular infection, and joint tuberculosis, whose average time from symptoms to diagnosis were 9.8 months. Postoperative pain score and joint function score improved significantly compared with preoperative, and complications were rare.Conclusion: Open surgical resection constitutes an effective treatment for proximal femoral OO by accurately and completely removing the nidus. Lack of understanding, wrong choice of examination, and the complexity and diversity of clinical manifestations constitute the main reasons for the misdiagnosis of proximal femoral OO.
