Abstract: 

عفونت های مادرزادی مهمترین عوامل تهدید کننده سلامت جنین در انسان هستند که اکثریت آنها توسط عوامل ویروسی ایجاد می شوند. ویروس ها از جمله مسری ترین عوامل عفونی بوده و ابتلا مادر قبل و یا در حین بارداری به یکی از این عوامل جنین را در ریسک بالای ابتلا به آن قرار می دهد و از آنجایی که تشخیص و درمان آنها مشکل است، پیشگیری از ابتلا، امری حیاتی در حفظ سلامت مادر و جنین می باشد. ویروس ها می توانند موجب سقط جنین، مرگ داخل رحمی و بسیاری از عوارض دیگر از جمله اختلال رشد، تغییرات حجم مایع آمنیوتیک، کلسیفیکاسیون داخل جمجمه ای و کبدی، هیدروسفالی و میکروسفالی، آسیت، نشت مایع جنب و پریکارد و هیدروپس های با منشا غیر ایمنی شوند. شناخت بیولوژی این ویروس ها، راه های انتقال و روش های تشخیص آن در مادر و جنین نقش بسزایی در جلوگیری از ابتلای جنین به عفونت دارد. روش های متعددی از بیولوژی ملکولی در خدمت تشخیص عوامل عفونی و از جمله ویروس ها درآمده اند مانند تکنیک (Polymerase Chain Reaction) PCR که قادر به تشخیص هر نوع اسید نوکلئیک مربوط به پاتوژن در نمونه های آزمایشگاهی می باشد. در زمینه نمونه برداری از جنین تکنیک های مختلف مانند Amniocentesis، Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) و Fetal Blood Sampling یا Cordocentesis وجود دارند که به سرعت در حال پیشرفت و گسترش می باشند.

Abstract: 

کلستریدیوم بوتولینوم با تولید نوروتوکسین قادر به ایجاد سه نوع بوتولیسم در انسان می باشد. بر اساس نوروتوکسینهای تولید شده، این باکتری به انواع G, F, E, D, C, B, A نامگذاری می شود. با وجود اینکه نوروتوکسین های کلستریدیوم بوتولینوم سمی ترین ماده شناخته شده در جهان می باشند، اما نسبت به حرارت حساس هستند. پس از مصرف و جذب در روده، این سموم باعث فلج عضلانی و احتمالا مرگ انسان می شوند. استفاده از کنسروهای خانگی سبزیجات و مصرف نادرست ماهی و فرآورده های آن عوامل مهم در ایجاد بوتولیسم به شمار می روند. امروزه در برخی صنایع غذایی از نیتریت سدیم جهت کنترل این باکتری استفاده می شود. هم اکنون با پیشرفت علم پزشکی، سم کلستریدیوم بوتولینوم در کنترل برخی بیماری ها نیز کاربرد دارد.

Abstract: 

Introduction: A considerable portion of patients with depressive disorders do not respond properly to medical treatment and need Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). On the other hand, as some beneficial effects of ECT are attributed to increase in thyroid hormones, levothyronin is used as an adjuvant prior to ECT. The aim of this study was to evaluate thyroid function changes after ECT.Methods: This was an outcome study done on depressed patients attending the psychiatric clinic who were resistant to medical therapy and therefore candidates for ECT. Blood samples were drawn before the first and the last ECT and serum levels of T3, T4, T3RU and TSH were measured.Results: Thirty-one patients (19 males and 12 females) were enrolled the study. Serum levels of T3 and T3RU significantly increased by ECT (p-values of 0.0001 and 0.029, respectively). T3 increased in all 31 patients and this was true for both genders and all age groups and also for various durations of depression, but T4 and TSH levels decreased significantly (p-values of 0.025 and 0.0001, respectively).Conclusion: Our findings showed that some effects of ECT may be primarily due to increased T3 levels and other parameters change accordingly. These findings need to be confirmed by further studies.

Abstract: 

Introduction: Cataract is an opacified lens and senile cataract is a common disorder. It is desirable to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in order to minimize intra and post operative difficulties and complications. Many researches have studied the effects of muscle relaxants on IOP. Comparison effect of atracurium and pancuronium on IOP has been evaluated in one study with a small sample size (N=20). In this research, we compared the effects of atracurium and pancuronium on IOP in patients undergoing cataract surgery.Methods: In a clinical trial study, ninety patients, ASA I, candidates for senile cataract surgery were randomly selected to receive either atracurium 0.5mg/kg or pancuronium 0.1mg/kg with fentanyl 2m g/kg and thiopental 5mg/kg for induction of general anesthesia. Before induction and 3minutes after endotracheal intubation, the IOP in both eyes was measured using Schiotz Tonometer. Data was analyzed using T- paired and chi square test.Results: There were no differences in demographic data of the two groups. In atracurium group, the IOP didn’t have any significant changes. Three minutes after endotracheal intubation, the mean IOP decreased in the pancuronium group (2.98±3.25 and 2.56±3.51 mmHg in right and left eyes, respectively) (P=0.000 ).Conclusion: According to our data, attracurium has no effect on IOP, but pancuronium can decrease IOP in patients undergoing cataract surgery. It is therefore safe to use pancuronium and atracurium in general anesthesia for ophthalmic surgery.

Abstract: 

Introduction: Hyperlipidemia is a risk factor for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. Nuts such as almonds are high in unsaturated lipids and antioxidants. Some studies indicate that nuts have beneficial effects on cardiovascular system. Therefore, the aim of this study was evaluation of the effectiveness of shelled almonds on reduction of blood lipid and lipoprotein levels in hyperlipidemic patients.Methods: This study was a clinical trial (before and after) and was done on 30 men volunteering for the study. They consumed 60 grams shelled almonds per day for four weeks. Their blood lipid, lipoprotein, apolipoprotein and lipoprotein (a) levels were measured after and before almond consumption. Results: Shelled almond consumption caused significant decrease in serum cholesterol 36.1 mg/dl, triglyceride 45.94 mg/dl, LDL-cholesterol 28.68 mg/dl and increase in HDL-cholesterol 10.64 mg/dl (p<0.001). Shelled almond consumption decreased lipoprotein (a) (2.11 mg/dl), apolipoprotein B100 (8.93 mg/dl) and increased apolipoprotein A (1 1.74 mg/dl) levels, but this effect was insignificant statistically.Conclusion: Continuous consumption of shelled almonds has beneficial effect on blood lipids and may play a preventive role in Atherosclerosis and coronary heart diseases. We therefore suggest that a daily intake of 60 grams of almonds can be used for treatment of hyprelipidemic patients.

Abstract: 

Introduction: Congenital hypothyroidism is one of the most preventable causes of mental retardation. Worldwide, incidences vary from 1:3000 to 1:4000 and mean incidence in Iran is estimated to be 1:1000. Neonatal screening and early treatment within first 2 weeks of neonatal period can prevent neurocognitive deficits. We aimed to study the incidence of CH and increased levels of TSH in Yazd province and collect data describing the disease status and designing first and second levels of preventive interventions. Methods: This descriptive analytic study was performed by census cross sectional method on 13022 neonates in Yazd province in 2006-2007(March 2006- March 2007) including 6495 females and 6527 males. Sampling was done (within the first 3-5 days of life) by lancet sticking of neonatal heel. After transfer of 3 blood drops over filter papers, the TSH level was measured. If the TSH level was equal or higher than 5 mu/l, additional confirmation tests were done. Neonates were diagnosed according to serum confirmation test (TSH>10 mu/l or T4<6.5mg/dl) and underwent treatment according to national guidelines. Data was analyzed by SPSS software.Results: Total number of patients was 45, including 25 males (55.5%) and 20 females (44.5%). Prevalence in males, females and overall was consecutively, 1:261, 1:325 and 1:289, but this difference was not statistically significant. Prevalence in urban and rural areas was 1:315 and 1:216, but the difference was statistically not significant. The prevalence during spring, summer, autumn& winter was 1:95, 1:250, 1:1934 and 1:369, respectively, that was statistically significant. Mean age at sampling was 7.2 days, mean TSH level 2.3 mu/l and mean age of mothers was 25.8 years.Conclusions: Incidence of CH and transient increased levels of TSH in Yazd province is significantly higher than national and worldwide levels that necessitate the constancy and reinforcement of neonatal screening program. On the other hand, complementary studies for recognizing relevant factors, particularly iodine deficiency are one of the priorities of health system research in Yazd.

Abstract: 

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and side effects of two different misoprostol regimens for second-trimester pregnancy termination.Methods: 60 consenting women who were at 14 to 28 weeks of gestation with indications for pregnancy termination were randomly assigned to two equal groups to receive either vaginal or oral misoprostol. The dosing regimen was 400μg as the initial dose followed by 400μg and up to 3 doses (1200 mg) if needed in each group. Efficacy and side effects were compared.Results: 30 patients randomly assigned to vaginal and 30 to oral misoprostol group. Demographic characteristics were similar in both the groups. The percentage of women who delivered was significantly higher in vaginal group than the oral group (86.7 vs.43.3, P=0.0006).The average induction to delivery interval was shorter in vaginal group, but this difference was not significant (9.7±4.2 vs. 12.7±7.3 P=0.083). No significant differences in complication rates or side effects were noted between the two groups.Conclusion: Vaginal administration of misoprostol resulted in a higher success rate for second trimester pregnancy termination, whereas, no significant differences in induction to delivery time and complication rates were noted between vaginal and oral groups.

Abstract: 

Introduction: Breast cancer with 22.6% is the most common cancer in Iranian women and mastectomy is the treatment of choice in 81% of cases posted for surgery. Mastectomy can evoke feelings of mutilation, altered body image and decreased sexual attractiveness and function leading to mood disorders. In the last decades, final purpose of treatment strategies in breast cancer is creation of a life with good quality. In this regards, concern is rising about the impact of surgical treatments, especially mastectomy on patient`s quality of life. This study was conducted to determine the relationship of mastectomy with mood and quality of life in breast cancer patients.Methods: This descriptive-analytic study was done in 2005.Case group included mastectomy patients referring to the oncology clinics (n=50).The comparison group consisted of mammography candidates referring to women clinics in Imam Reza and Ghaeem Hospitals. Data collected was based on nonprobability and purposeful sampling. The information collected included: demographic and medical information, social support questionnaire, POMS survey for measurement of mood. Quality of life was assessed with FPQOLI.Results: Pearson correlation coefficient showed a significant converse statistical relation between mood and quality of life score in mastectomy women (P<0.001). Independence T test showed that mood and quality of life in mastectomy group were lower than mammography candidate women (P=0.001, P<0.049). The general linear model test showed that group variable had the most effect on women`s mood (P<0.001). Also, mood was the most important factor that predicted level of quality of life in these women (P<0.001).Conclusion: Lack of attention to psychological and spiritual status of the patients after mastectomy may provide conditions for unstable mood and can finally disrupt their quality of life. But, nurses can identify patients with psychological tensions and introduce them to consultancy centers to prevent mood disorders and promote their quality of life.

Abstract: 

Introduction: Hypoxemia can occur during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with or without pharmacological sedation. Pulse oximetry saturation (SpO2) levels were assessed in patients attending for routine unsedated diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to identify factors associated with oxygen desaturation. Methods: A total of 300 patients who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy without sedation were monitored with continuous pulse oximetry. Factors related to the patient, the examination, and the monitoring data that could predict severe desaturation were evaluated.Results: Mild desaturation (SpO2 between 1-4%) was found in 143(47.7%) of the patients, while severe desaturation (SpO2³5%) and hypoxemia occurred in 65 (21.7%) of patients, 40 (61.5%) of those had previous illnesses (p<0.001). The variables found to predict severe desaturation were basal SpO2 <95%, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, anemia, age more than 60 years and coronary artery disease.Conclusion: The decrease in SpO2 is related to increase in age, basal SaO2 < 95%, respiratory disease, coronary artery disease, and anemia, .We recommend continuous monitoring of SpO2 in these high-risk patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.

Abstract: 

Introduction: There are different methods to repair retinal detachment. In this trial the retinopexy in repairmen of retinal regmatogenesis RD is compared with other methods in Qazvin Teaching Hospitals during 1993-2003.Methods: This outcome study was conducted on 47 patients with S/B and retinal break cryopexy (group I) , 30 patients undergoing S/B with barrier laser photocoagulation around retinal breaks (group II) and 41 patients with S/B without retinopexy (group III).An encircling or segmental buckle was placed for all eyes. In some patients, subretinal fluid drainage (SRED) or anterior chamber paracentesis and intravitreal air dubble injection was performed. The patients were followed for 3 to 48 months. T. test, chi square and fisher exact test were used for data analysis. Results: The groups were similar with respect to age, sex, lens status, visual acuity, type, number and location of break. There were no differences in the surgical procedure performed. The reattachment rate in group I was 91.5%, in group II 86.7% and in group III was 97.6%, a difference that was not significant. Conclusions: With S/B procedure, retinal cryopexy does not seem to increase success rate of operation.

Abstract: 

Introduction: Enhancing the nutritional condition of teenaged girls can be the most effective and fundamental preventive measure against chronic disease in years ahead. Knowing the predictive factors of behaviors is one the most efficient way of preventive programs in societies, especially in the developing countries. This study was conducted to determine the role of self– efficacy in predicting the dietary behaviors of Kerman high school girls in 2006-2007.Methods: In this correlation study, girl students in Kerman high schools were selected as research population. Based on pilot study, sample size was estimated to be 800 students. Taking into consideration sample drop out, 900 questionnaires were distributed, and 812 were finally analyzed. Data were gathered using research– made questionnaire comprising of 5 parts including general & demographic questions, dietary behaviors, dietary self– efficacy, physical activity and exercise self– efficacy. Data were collected and analyzed following validity and reliability determination.Results: Results indicated that most students (57/4%) were 16 years of age or younger, and the obtained total scores in the dietary behavior and related self- efficacy was 66% and 61%, respectively. The results of the multiple regression model showed that besides dietary self– efficacy, factors including level of fathers education, assessment of the family status in comparison with others from the student’s point of view, importance of safe and healthy food consumption, right of choosing desired foods, number of meals served with family, and mother’s occupation were among the predictive factors of dietary behavior.Conclusion: The results have confirmed the role of self– efficacy concepts, according to Pender’s model as a health promoting behavior. Therefore, increased self– efficacy methods such adverbial stimulation and good model offer can be used as one of the health behaviors promotion factors.

Introduction: Sleep disturbance is common in patients undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft surgery and has been recognized for more than 30 years. New literature suggests the importance of sleep and rest for restoration, protection and promotion of function and wellbeing of these patients. Because of the importance of the role of nurses in diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders, this study was conducted to determine possible effective factors on sleep quality and sleep quantity of patients after CABG.Methods: This longitudinal, descriptive and correlational study was conducted on 91 patients admitted to Imam Reza Hospital in Mashad City in 2005-2006. Subjects were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data was collected by interview in three stages: 24 hours before surgery, as well as 6 weeks and 10 weeks after surgery. Subjective sleep quality was measured with PSQI and sleep quantity was measured with sleep log. The first two interviews were done at the hospital clinic and the last via telephone. Data was analyzed in SPSS using student T test, Pearson correlation coefficient and General Linear Model.Results: According to Univariable analysis, variables such as age (p=0.03), aorta clamp time (p=0.003), mechanical ventilation time (p=0.01), staying time in hospital (p=0.04) can affect sleep quantity 10 weeks after surgery. Previous history of sleep disorder (p=0.005), diabetes (p=0.02), use of diuretic drugs before surgery (p=0.04) and ACEI drugs after surgery (p=0.01) can affect sleep quality 10 weeks after surgery.Conclusion: Sleep disorder history (p=0.01), use of diuretic drugs before surgery (p=0.04) and sleep quantity 6 weeks after surgery (p=0.01) have been the most effective factors on sleep quality 10 weeks after surgery, whereas quality of life 10 weeks after surgery (p=0.04) has been the most effective factor on sleep quantity 10 weeks after surgery. There is therefore a necessity for presenting approaches in order to eliminate and minimize modifiable factors.

Abstract: 

Decentralization is the process of dispersing decision-making closer to the point of peripheral area, service or action. Basically decentralized governance, if properly planned and implemented, offers important opportunities for enhanced human development. The studies about this issue in different countries show that most of the decentralizations have been implemented in European countries and in comparison, the Middle East countries have been utilized lower degrees of the decentralization process.In fact, decentralization in the health system is a policy pursued for a variety of purposes including; increase in service delivery effectiveness and equity, improving efficiency and quality, fairness of financial contribution and planning for choosing the most appropriate interventions for the health priorities in peripheral regions. To implement decentralized governance, there is a spectrum of different choices that the government should regulate their degrees. Providing an appropriate atmosphere for decentralization is essential, otherwise lack of planning and achievement can result in complications for the system.

Abstract: 

Concurrence of interstitial nephritis and uveitis named tubulointestitioal nephritis and uveitis syndrome (TINU) are unusual and uncommon presentations of interstitial nephritis. This syndrome is considered after ruling out other differential diagnoses. A-38-year old man presented with acute renal failure and uveitis. The histologic findings of renal biopsy showed acute tubulointestitioal nephritis. The patient had no clinical and paraclinical manifestations of other etiologies of interstitial nephritis and uveitis such as Wegener's granulomatosis , Sjogren's syndrome or sarcoidosis. The diagnosis of TINU-Syndrome was therefore considered. The patient was treated by oral and ophthalmic prednisolone and had a good response to treatment.
