The means of anxiety and depression scores were 5.08 ± 0.39 and 7.48 ± 0.40, respectively. There was no significant association between HADS and types of isolation (P=0.550). Female gender was significantly associated with abnormal HADS (36% vs. 17%; P=0.040). On the other hand, the frequency of physician follow-up visits reduced the risk for abnormal HADS (22% vs. 50%; P=0.040) Conclusion Just over one-fourth of the isolated patients had raised anxiety or depression scores. A trend to higher HADS was observed in airborne isolated patients. We found also that females were more susceptible to anxiety and depression, while frequent physician visits improved the psychological wellbeing of isolated patients.Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common genitourinary malignancy of increasing incidence and significant mortality rate. Skin metastases of RCC are considered a rare phenomenon of unfavorable outcomes. We present a 75-year-old male patient who developed a rapidly evolving lesion on his left cheek four years after undergoing a right radical nephrectomy for non-metastatic RCC. Immunohistochemistry of the skin lesion was diagnostic for cutaneous metastasis of renal clear cell carcinoma, which eventually led to the detection of internal malignancy recurrence by positron emission tomography. A new facial skin lesion may unmask the underlying recurrence of RCC. Attendants of in-hospital patients are prone to undue stress resulting in depression, anxiety, melancholy and psychological distress. Hitherto available studies cater to attendants of patients admitted in critical care units and none have ventured to look into their cortisol dynamics. Herein, we have evaluated the magnitude of psychological distress and depression amongst ostensibly healthy attendants of non-critically ill patients and correlated them with cortisol dynamics.
