Abstract Objective With the novel coronavirus pandemic, impact on healthcare system and workers cannot be overlooked. However, studies infection status of medical personnel are still lacking. It is imperative to ensure safety health-care (HCWs) not only safeguard continuous patient care but also they do transmit virus, therefore evaluation rates in these groups indicated. Methods Demographic clinical data regarding infected cases among HCWs Fars, Iran with positive SARS‐CoV‐2 PCR tests were...

Even though a few years have passed since the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, information regarding certain aspects of disease, such as post-infection immunity, is still quite limited. This study aimed to evaluate protection and COVID-19 features among healthcare workers (HCWs), during three successive surges, well rate severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) reinfection, reactivation, re-positivity, severity.

Abstract Background The prevalence of resistant hospital infections in the intensive care unit (ICU) increases mortality and antibiotic resistance. COVID-19 pandemic may have unintended impact on nosocomial (NI) microorganism. Methodology present non-interventional study was performed by a pre post survey each lasting 8 months before (March–October 2019) after 2020) onset three ICU’s, not allocated to patients, Nemazee Hospital, Shiraz, Iran. rates following were compared at pre-...

Abstract Objective: With the novel coronavirus pandemic, impact on healthcare system and workers cannot be overlooked. However, studies infection status of medical personnel are still lacking. It is imperative to ensure safety health-care (HCWs) not only safeguard continuous patient care but also they do transmit virus, therefore evaluation rates in these groups indicated. Methods: Demographic clinical data regarding infected cases among HCWs Fars, Iran with positive SARS‐CoV‐2 PCR tests...

Abstract Objective We aimed to compare the effect of dexmedetomidine with remifentanil on hemodynamic stability, surgical field quality, and surgeon satisfaction during rhinoplasty. Methods materials In this double-blind randomized controlled-trial, 60 participants scheduled for rhinoplasty at Mother Child Hospital, Shiraz, Iran, was randomely divided into group (IV infusion 1 μg/kg over 20 min before induction anesthesia then 0.6 μg/kg/hr. from time until end operation) or in (an rate 0.25...

Background: Esophagus cancer, the third most common gastrointestinal cancer overall, demonstrates high incidence in parts of Iran. The counties Iran vary size, shape and population size. aim this study was to account for spatial support with Area-to-Area (ATA) Poisson Kriging increase precision parameter estimates yield correct variance create maps disease rates. Materials Methods: This involved application/ecology methodology, illustrated using esophagus data recorded by Ministry Health...

Hierarchical Bayesian log-linear models for Poisson-distributed response data, especially Besag, York and Mollié (BYM) model, are widely used disease mapping. In some cases, due to the high proportion of zero, zero-inflated Poisson applied This study proposes a spatial joint model Bernoulli distribution map count data with excessive zeros. Here, random effect is simultaneously considered into both logistic in hierarchical framework. addition, we focus on BYM2 re-parameterization common BYM...

Abstract Background Post reperfusion syndrome (PRS) is a relatively common and life-threatening complication during orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). It associated with poor patient transplanted outcomes. Objective This study aimed to compare the risk factors of PRS OLT. Design Clinical-epidemiological observational retrospective study. Setting We gathered records patients who underwent OLT in 3 years, from May 22, 2016, 2019, Namazi Bu-Ali Sina organ hospitals. Patients In this study,...

Background: Prioritizing the patients requiring intensive care may decrease fatality of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19).Aims and objectives: To develop, validate, compare two models based on machine-learning methods for predicting with COVID-19 care.Materials methods: In 2021, 506 suspected patients, clinical presentations along radiographic findings, were laboratory confirmed included in study.The primary end-point was care, defined as actual admission to unit (ICU).The data randomly...

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a food ingredient that increasingly used commercially. MSG leads to oxidative stress, consequently suppressing steroid hormone production causes defects in male reproductive system. This study aimed evaluate the effect of L-carnitine as an antioxidant on testicular damage MSG-induced rats.Sixty adult Spargue-Dawley rats were randomly divided into six groups ten follows: control (water), sham (normal saline), (200 mg/kg b.w), (3 g/kg + 100 b.w and L-carnitine),...

The management of preoperative anxiety in pediatric patients, as well its implications, has remained challenging for anesthesiologists. In this study, we compared the safety and efficacy intranasal dexmedetomidine, midazolam, ketamine surgical premedication children.

Background: In many countries gastric cancer has the highest incidence among gastrointestinal cancers and is second most common in Iran. The aim of this study was to identify map high risk regions at county-level Methods: we analyzed data for Iran years 2003-2010. Areato- area Poisson kriging Besag, York Mollie (BYM) spatial models were applied smoothing standardized ratios 373 counties surveyed study. two methods compared term accuracy precision identifying regions. Result: smoothed rate...

Several adjuvants, added to local anesthetics, were suggested induce an ideal regional block with high-quality analgesia. The purpose of this study was evaluate the particular blocking properties low-dose bupivacaine in combination meperidine and fentanyl spinal anesthesia during Cesarean sections.A randomized, double-blind clinical trial conducted at Hafez Hospital affiliated Shiraz University Medical Sciences (Shiraz, Iran) from February 2015 2016. A total 120 pregnant women, who underwent...

This study aimed to compare the efficacy of labetalol and lidocaine in tympanoplasty surgery, specifically evaluating their impact on hemodynamic changes perioperative outcomes.

Objective: Nausea and vomiting after surgery are the most common complications. Therefore, we performed this study to compare effect of ondansetron haloperidol on nausea laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients Methods: In randomized clinical trial, 60 patients candidates for elective cholecystectomy were allocated (0.05 mg/kg, n = 30) (0.15 groups. An Ocular Analog Scale was used assess postoperative vomiting. Every 15 minutes in recovery room, heart rate blood pressure measured up 6 hours...

The del Nido cardioplegia solution is a widely used method for myocardial protection in various settings. However, there limited evidence of its effectiveness adult cardiac surgery, and the baseline solution, Plasma Lyte A, not readily available, leading to use alternative solutions. This study aims investigate routine surgery impact different solutions on other perioperative outcomes.

Abstract Introduction: Even though over a year has passed since the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, our information regarding certain aspects of disease, such as post-infection immunity is still very limited. This study aimed to evaluate protection and COVID-19 features among healthcare workers (HCWs), during three subsequent surges.
