Objective: The workload and working hours of healthcare professionals have increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study was to evaluate how COVID-19 outbreak restrictions affect dietary habits among healthcare professionals. Material and Method: The study population was 239 adults aged between 18-65 years. An online survey including questions about demographic variables, health information, lifestyle behaviors, and dietary habits were sent via an online platform. Self-reported weight, and height before and during the pandemic were also collected. Results: The percentage of those who skip the main meals during the lo . . .ckdown (48.1%) has increased compared to before the lockdown (43.9%). The most skipped main meal and snack were breakfast and mid-morning, respectively. Among the study population, 48.1% reported that they increased their vegetable-fruit consumption, 38.1% reported increased water intake and 45.6% reported consuming more home-cooked food. The most preferred snacks were fruits-vegetables (62.3%), and nuts (55.6%). Approximately half of the participants (46.0%) reported an increased appetite and 50.6% of the participants stated an increase in body weight during COVID-19. The weight gain of the 51-64 age group (3.73±4.13 kg) was statistically significantly higher than the 18-50 age group (0.43±4.51 kg) (p=0.014). The rate of those who reported doing at least 150 minutes of exercise per week before COVID-19 (43.9%) decreased during the pandemic (30.5%). Conclusion: Body weight, appetite, some dietary habits, and physical activities were generally adversely affected among healthcare workers during the pandemic. Older groups are most prone to weight gain during the lockdown Daha fazlası Daha az

ABSTRACT Objective: Dermatological diseases are public health problems. Several factors including subjective diagnosis, lack of enough dermatologists, inability to go to a dermatologist due to old age, psychological problems or pandemic like coronavirus enforce to use automated techniques in dermatology. In the literature, there are many techniques on automated lesion classification to provide accurate, objective, reliable and reproducible results for the diagnosis of several dermatological diseases. However, although the techniques are promising, they become useless without a user interface for many patients or users who don’t hav . . .e any prior knowledge on how to choose or set appropriate parameters and how to run source codes. Therefore, the objective of this work is to develop an application with an efficient user interface for patients and dermatologists. Material and Method: The application has been developed with Matlab (R2019) using digital photographs provided from public databases. Results: An application with an efficient and friendly user interface has been designed and implemented for patients with dermatological diseases. Conclusion: The application can present results of (i) lesion segmentation, (ii) image classification, and (iii) analysis according to time periods. It provides to view data easily and parametrization of the network. It can also be useful for dermatologists to analyze lesions or make decisions about diseases. Also, the application can be used for educational purpose since it provides information and tests on dermatological diseases. Therefore, it can be useful for both patients and researchers working in this area. ÖZ Amaç: Dermatolojik hastalıklar halk sağlığı problemleridir. Teşhisin öznel olması, yeterli dermatolog bulunmaması, yaşlılık, psikolojik sorunlar veya koronavirüs salgını gibi nedenlerle dermatoloğa gidememek gibi çeşitli faktörler dermatolojide otomatik tekniklerin kullanılmasını zorunlu hale getirmiştir. Literatürde, çeşitli dermatolojik hastalıkların teşhisinde doğru, objektif, güvenilir ve tekrarlanabilir sonuçlar sağlamak için otomatik lezyon sınıflandırması üzerine birçok teknik vardır. Fakat bu teknikler, ümit verici olmasına rağmen, uygun parametrelerin nasıl seçileceği veya nasıl ayarlanacağı ve kaynak kodlarının nasıl çalıştırılacağı konusunda önceden bilgisi olmayan birçok hasta veya kullanıcı için, bir ara yüz olmadan faydasız hale gelmektedirler. Bu nedenle, bu çalışmanın amacı, hastalar ve dermatologlar için etkili bir kullanıcı ara yüzüne sahip bir uygulama geliştirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Uygulama genel veri tabanlarından sağlanan dijital fotoğraflar kullanılarak Matlab (R2019) ile geliştirilmiştir. Bulgular: Dermatolojik hastalıkları olan hastalar için etkili ve kullanıcı dostu ara yüze sahip bir uygulama tasarlanmış ve geliştirilmiştir. Sonuç: Uygulama, (i) lezyon bölütleme, (ii) görüntü sınıflandırması ve (iii) zaman periyotlarına göre analiz sonuçlarını sunmaktadır. Verilerin kolayca görüntülenmesini ve ağın parametrelendirilmesini sağlamaktadır. Dermatologlar tarafından lezyon analizinde veya karar verme aşamasında da kullanılabilir. Ayrıca uygulama, dermatolojik hastalıklar hakkında bilgi ve testler sağladığı için eğitim amaçlı da kullanılabilmektedir. Dolayısıyla bu hem hastalar hem de bu alanda çalışan araştırmacılar için faydalı olacaktır Daha fazlası Daha az
