ABSTRACT
The most common symptoms of COVID-19 infection are fever and cough;but may cause respiratory, enteric, hepatic, nephrotic, neurological, and skin involvement. Onychomadesis is the proximal separation of the nail plate from the nail matrix due to a temporary cessation of nail growth. Numerous studies about cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19 were reported;however findings of nails were limited. This paper reported a case of onychomadesis which appeared on the nails after a severe COVID-19 infection (MIS-C).

ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant effects on public health. Previous studies showed that the fear of COVID-19 was positively correlated with depression, anxiety, and stress. This study aims to compile and meta-analyze the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and depression, anxiety, and stress among the general population. The studies published between March 2020 and June 2021 were scanned from various databases (Google Scholar, PubMed, Web of Science [ISI], and SCOPUS). Asa result of the literature search, 746 studies were reached, 88 studies were found suitable, and 21 met the inclusion criteria. Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA Version 3.0) and metafor package in P were used for analyses. A strong relationship was observed between the fear of COVID-19 and anxiety (r = .55, p < .001);there were moderate relationships between the fear of COVID-19 and depression (r = .34, p < .001) and stress (r = .44, p < .001). All these relationships were significant. The results showed that the relationships between the fear of COVID-19 and depression, anxiety, and stress had a high level of heterogeneity. Meta-regression analyses revealed that the average of the sample age was a significant predictor of the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and anxiety. However, other covariates (female proportion and culture) were not statistically significant for the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and anxiety. None of these covariates was significant predictors of the relationship between fear of COVID-19 with depression and stress. Although the current meta-analysis has some limitations, the results revealed that the fear of COVID-19 is associated with mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, and stress.
ABSTRACT
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has penetrated almost all countries and has affected people in many areas. The COVID-19 pandemic also has affected the mental health of the community. Aims: The purpose of this study is to investigate the individuals' perceptions of subjective well-being (SWB) and resilience (R) during the pandemic. Method: A total of 643 people, 351 women and 292 men, who are not diagnosed with COVID-19, have voluntarily participated in the study. The data were collected online due to social restrictions. Also, their pre-pandemic SWB and R levels were evaluated based on their statements taken during the pandemic since the pandemic was not foreseen at this time. Results: A significant decrease was observed in participants' SWB and R levels during the pandemic. Besides, significant differences were observed in R levels according to gender and age;on the other hand, no difference was observed according to the participants' residence type, city type, education level, and job status. Regarding SWB level, significant differences were observed according to gender, age, and job status;no difference was observed according to residence type, city type, and education level. Limitations: Participants' subjective well-being and resilience data could not be collected before the pandemic due to the unpredictable and fast spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. When individuals compare the current pandemic period with their past (before the pandemic), they may perceive their resilience and subjective well-being levels as decreased. Conclusion: The pandemic affects the subjective well-being and resilience of individuals negatively. © 2021 Hogrefe Publishing.
