Abstract: 

Background: Hematoma is the most serious complication of head trauma and if we are capable to prevent the increment in size of hematoma, not only the mortality and morbidity but also the need of surgical intervention will decrease in management of head trauma. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Tranexamic acid on traumatic brain hematomas.Methods: In a double blind clinical study, 190 head injured patients in whom the primary brain Computed tomography scan (CT scan) had confirmed the existence of one of the different kinds of hematoma were selected and randomly divided in two groups, the first group received Tranexamic acid and the second group received placebo (normal saline). For all patients another brain CT scan was performed 24 hour after receiving the medication for detecting new bleeding or a change in size of the previously existing hematoma and the CT scans were reported by an expert radiologist. The collected data was analyzed by SPSS software.Findings: Before the intervention the mean volume of the hematoma in the case and control group was 4.7±4.9 and 5.0±4.2, respectively and there was not statistically difference between the two groups (P=0.64). The mean change in the volume of hematoma after intervention in the case and control group was -0.01±3.71 and -0.13±2.48, respectively and no statistically significant difference between the two groups were observed but considering the type of hematoma, the study showed meaningful decrease in the size of brain contusions in the case group.Conclusion: The effect of Tranexamic acid in traumatic brain injuries depends on the type of the lesion so that its effect on brain contusions was more prominent, although further studies are recommended to determine the overall effect of medication.

Abstract: 

Background: Hyperactivity/attention deficit disorder is the most common neurobehavioral disorders in childhood usually diagnosed before the age of seven. Since anger is a part of the people's life, the children need to learn how to deal with their anger. This project was performed aiming to determine the effectiveness of anger management games on behavioral and anger symptoms of the children with hyperactivity/attention deficit disorder.Methods: This study is a semi-experimental research with a pre-test and post-test design conducted by using a control group. The statistical population includes 40 students aged between 7 and 13 with hyperactivity/attention deficit disorder in Najafabad, Iran referred to child and adolescent psychiatric clinic in Isfahan city (Iran). They were selected as in-available and after verifying the diagnosis by a child and adolescent subspecialist psychiatrist and placed in two test and control groups, randomly. The intervention method included a collection of Anger Management Games. The research tool included Children ׳s Inventory of Anger Questionnaire as well as Parent and Teacher Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. The data was analyzed through the statistical analysis method of covariance using SPSS software.Findings: The results showed that there is a significant difference between the subjects in test and control groups in terms of anger scores (F=6.99, P=0,001). The value of impact or difference was 0.159. Moreover based on the parents’ or teachers’ views, there is a significant difference between subjects in test and control groups regarding emotional scores, behavioral problems, hyperactivity, problems with their peers, and social problems.Conclusion: Anger management games were effective on anger, behavioral, emotional and relational symptoms of children with hyperactivity/attention deficit disorder; utilizing these games as a novel supplementary method by the children is recommended due to the ease of use and low cost.

Abstract: 

Background: Previous studies have revealed that high doses of Thymoquinone (TQ) is able to cease the movement of sperms in culture medium. The aim of this study was to investigate and evaluate whether Nigella sativa (NS) extract has similar effect on spermatozoa with TQ or not.Methods: Ten washed semen samples were used for each concentration of NS (5 and 10 mg/ml). Two 0.5 ml aliquots of each sample were incubated with or without the considered dose as case and control samples. Total sperm motility was assessed after one hour. In addition, apoptosis of sperms receiving dose of 10 mg/ml were measured by Annexin-PI staining method followed by flow cytometry detection.Findings: Both doses of NS extract substantially reduce the percentage of total motility, fast and slow progressive and non-progressive sperms. After administration of NS extract, the percentages of alive, apoptotic and necrotic sperms did not show significant change.Conclusion: 5 and 10 mg/ml doses of NS extract considerably diminish the percentage of motile spermatozoa in culture medium. Similarly, NS extract with dose of 10 mg/ml does not change the percentage of viable spermatozoa in culture medium.

Abstract: 

Background: Disseminated candidiasis, diabetes mellitus, pregnancy, and consumption of widespread antibiotics are predisposing factors of urinary tract infections due to Candida species. The prevalence of nonalbicans species is increasing. The aim of the present study is to identify Candida spp. isolated from candiduria patients in Isfahan, Iran using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method.Methods: The genomic DNA was extracted by fast technology for analysis-card (FTA-card). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to amplify ITS1-5.8s-ITS2 region then PCR products were digested with MspI restriction enzyme. PCR and RFLP products were revealed on 1.5 and 2% agarose gel electrophoresis, respectively.Findings: Out of 3200 urine samples 80 samples with more than 104 CFU/ml were involved in this study. Patients including 4 (5%) were males and 76 patients (95%) were females. Predisposing factors were diabetes (47.5%), urinary tract infection (38.8%) and kidney stone (5.0%). The colony count of 46.3% of the urine samples were with 50´103-99´103 CFU/ml. Candida glabrata was the most prevalent species among isolates (41.3%).Conclusion: Increasing of non-albicans Candida species and drug resistance of isolates are main challenges of Candida infection treatment particularly in patients with diabetes and urinary infections. Identification of Candida species is inevitable for better management of infection.
