Article Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the gender difference in anxiety in novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) patients in the quarantine ward during the outbreak.
Methods: The self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) was used on the seventh day of isolation to analyze the anxiety levels of a total of 242 suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patients in the quarantine wards of two hospitals; 232 of these patients (112 males and 120 females) completed the anxiety scoring. The anxiety scores were compared between male and female patients using the -test, and a scatter diagram was used for analysis.
Results: The SAS scores of females in quarantine wards were higher than those of males at seven days of isolation.
Conclusion: Women with COVID-19 are more prone to anxiety than men while in isolation. It is necessary to give more attention to female patients in quarantine wards in the future, and psychological counseling may be necessary.

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has profoundly affected physical and mental health. Since the onset of the pandemic, the prevalence of depression and anxiety has significantly increased. Quarantine and social distancing, implemented to control the spread of COVID-19, have exacerbated social isolation.

Mumps is a vaccine-preventable disease. Following Beijing's implementation of a three-dose MMR vaccination strategy, incidence rates declined significantly. However, the current 21-d quarantine period lacks evidence-based support, resulting in low compliance and conflicts between healthcare providers and patients.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all age groups, with older individuals experiencing health effects and lifestyle changes. This study explored factors associated with quality of life (QoL) among older adults and examined how a history of COVID-19 infection and quarantine varied across these factors in the post-pandemic period.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among older adults attending a primary care clinic between November 2023 and January 2024.

In confronting the critical challenge of disease outbreak management, health authorities consistently encourage individuals to voluntarily disclose a potential exposure to infection and adhere to self-quarantine protocols by assuring medical care (hospital beds, oxygen, and constant health monitoring) and helplines for severe patients. These have been observed during pandemics; for example, COVID-19 phases in many middle-income countries, such as India, promoted quarantine and reduced stigma. Here, we present a game-theoretic model to elucidate the behavioural interactions in infection disclosure during an outbreak.

Background: Greece encountered unique COVID-19-pandemic-related challenges, shaped by the country's previous deleterious economic context, an already strained healthcare system and possibly one of Europe's earliest, longest and most stringent restrictive protocols.
Objectives: To offer comprehensive insights into the longitudinal trajectory of a broad range of behavioral and coping parameters within general adult Greek population across the first two pandemic waves.
Methods: Multiple-wave, cross-sectional data from the "Collaborative Outcomes study on Health and Functioning during Infection Times" (COH-FIT) assessed four different time points in order to examine outcomes changes from retrospective, pre-pandemic baseline ratings (T0) to three distinct intra-pandemic time points (lockdown 1: T1, between lockdowns: T2, lockdown 2: T3).
