Online environments have become the main sources of health-related information. However, if used incorrectly, this can decrease the level of well-being. Cyberchondria corresponds to the hypochondria in the digital age. We aimed to investigate the relationship between cyberchondria and trait anxiety, psychological well-being, and other factors in women of reproductive age. This study used a descriptive cross-sectional design. Face-to-face questionnaires were administered to women aged 18 to 49. The sample size was formed and stratified according to the population of the 47 family health centers to reflect the entire population...

Considered at a high risk during the COVID-19 pandemic, older adults in China not only face the disadvantages caused by their relatively low immune systems, but also the challenges brought about by the complex psychological environment in which they spend this special period of their life. However, a thorough study on the impact of the pandemic on older adults' mental health in China remains scant. Hence, this research aimed to investigate the question: What are the mental health outcomes and associated risk factors of the COVID-19 pandemic on older adults in China? Two Chinese academic databases (China National Knowledge Infrastructure and WANFANG DATA) as well as six English academic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, MEDLINE, Social Science, and Google Scholar) were searched while following PRISMA guidelines...

Repetitive online searches for health information increase anxieties and result in Internet addiction. Internet addiction, cyberchondria, anxiety sensitivity, and hypochondria have been studied separately, but how these concepts are reciprocally linked has not been investigated. This study aimed to determine the levels, correlations, and predictors of Internet addiction, cyberchondria, anxiety sensitivity, and hypochondria among students based on the sample's characteristics. A sample of 143 university students participated in this cross-sectional online survey...

Myositis ossificans circumscripta (MOC) is a benign and self-limiting heterotopic ossification in the subcutaneous fat, tendons, muscles, and nerves. It is commonly due to trauma and is frequently encountered in the arm, shoulder, thigh, and hand which are prone to trauma. Non-traumatic MOC arising from the abdominal muscles is extremely rare. We report a case of 7-year-old male child with a three-year history of progressive painless abdominal swelling in the left hypochondria region with no history of associated trauma...

As COVID-19 pandemic spread all over the world, it brought serious health consequences in every medical field, including mental health. Not only healthcare professionals were more prone to develop anxiety, depression, and stress, but the general population suffered as well. Some of those who had no prior history of a psychiatric disease developed peculiar symptoms following infection with SARS-CoV-2, mostly because of psychological and social issues triggered by the pandemic. People developed traumatic memories, and hypochondria, probably triggered by social isolation and stress...

Introduction: After the diagnosis of L-SIL, 77. 3% had a persistent infection and anomalous Pap Test results. Many of these patients had highlighted psychological consequences such as anxiety, hypochondria, fear of cancer, and sexual problems. Several studies suggested that the clearance of HR-HPV infection could be accelerated by cervical excisional procedures, especially in L-SIL. In consideration of the psychological implications for HPV infection and related dysplasia in patients with CIN1 at PAP-smear and HR-HPV positivity at least for 6 months, we decided to plan a prospective study where we tried to anticipate excisional cervical using a minimally invasive treatment: thin loop electrosurgical excision procedure (t-LEEP)...

The description of Medical Student Syndrome is based on the assumption that inexperienced medical students are prone to develop a pathological fear of medical conditions they are taught about. The aim of this study is to examine the sample of students (medical and non-medical) in order to assess and compare their level of hypochondriacal attitudes and health-related anxiety. We also examined other factors which might have had an influence on hypochondria and nosophobia attitudes among students.

Investigation of cyberchondria is still in its infancy. Preliminary research suggests that cyberchondria is likely to represent a distinct behavioral syndrome which is closely associated with health anxiety/hypochondria and extensive online searching for health information and/or digital self-tracking. The internet is characterized by anonymous, readily, convenient space-time-independent accessibility and availability of an almost unmanageable amount of information that may increase the reassurance-seeking safety behavior of individuals with heightened health anxiety...
