Abstract Introduction Since the onset of COVID-19 pandemic, many higher education and health centers have faced challenges. Educational leaders tried to manage new situation, but human infrastructure was not ready for such an event. This study aims explain challenges opportunities pandemic medical education. Method qualitative used conventional content analysis collect data from face-to-face semi-structured interviews. The interviews continued until saturation reached. participants were 12...
The internet is an essential and widely used tool for college students; however, high dependency can have negative consequences students, especially regarding academic careers. Such students may tend to postpone their tasks. Hence, the current study examines effect of Internet addiction on procrastination among medical students.We applied a cross-sectional correlational research design. 233 Shiraz University Medical Sciences were selected through convenience sampling participated in this...
hyperlipidemia as a major risk factor of atherosclerosis is treated with different drugs. Concerning length therapy and vast majority side effects, herbal medication may be suitable substitute for these In this single-blind, placebo controlled study, lipid profiles 150 hyperlipidemic patients in cardiology outpatient department Shiraz University Medical Sciences were checked at same conditions. They divided into three equal groups randomly (each composing 50 patients). given enteric-coated...
Many patients experience anxiety and depression after cardiac bypass surgery. The aim of this study was to examine the effect rehabilitation on in undergoing coronary artery grafting hospitals affiliated Shiraz University Medical Sciences southern Iran. For randomized controlled trial, 80 who met inclusion criteria were recruited randomly assigned case control groups. Anxiety measured with Spielberger Scale using Beck's Depression Inventory at three points time: discharge from hospital,...
Background: Myocardial infarction remains one the leading causes of mortality and morbidity involves a high cost care. Early prediction can be helpful in preventing development myocardial with appropriate diagnosis treatment. Artificial neural networks have opened new horizons learning about natural history diseases predicting cardiac disease. Methods: A total 935 patients chest pain nondiagnostic electrocardiogram (ECG) were enrolled followed for 2 weeks two groups based on appearance...
Background: Various methods are used to improve the quality and usefulness of basic sciences taught medical students before beginning clinical course practice in higher grades. One method which is evaluated present study early experience. Methods Materials: In this descriptive study, all freshmen were participated a half day workshop for familiarity with hospital environment. The attitude towards exposure, profession, education was investigated using 30- item questionnaire after workshop....
Abstract Background Besides the lungs, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can affect cardiovascular, digestive, urinary, hepatic, and central nervous systems. Other than its short-term effects, COVID-19 may also cause long-term complications. In this study, we assessed cardiovascular symptoms among patients in a clinic. Method A retrospective cohort was conducted between October 2020 to May 2021 on at an outpatient clinic Shiraz, Iran. Patients with history of least one year before their...
Introduction A life-threatening respiratory disease, coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), has spread across the globe since December 2019. Many prognostic factors have already been put forward to predict risk of death and other outcomes. The current study is evaluating survival rate between hypertensive non-hypertensive infected patients.
Abstract Background Mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) transplantation can improve the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Transplanted MSCs exert a paracrine effect, which might be augmented if repeated doses are administered. This study aimed to compare effects of single versus double Wharton’s jelly (WJ-MSCs) on LVEF post-AMI. Methods We conducted single-blind, randomized, multicenter trial. After 3–7 days AMI treated successfully by primary...
Abstract Background Diverse ethnic groups that exist in Iran may differ regarding the risk factors such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and family history of non-communicable disease. Premature Coronary Artery Disease (PCAD) is more endemic than before. This study sought to assess association between ethnicity lifestyle behaviors eight major Iranian with PCAD. Methods In this study, 2863 patients aged ≤ 70 for women 60 men who underwent coronary angiography...
Abstract Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has various sequelae, one of which might be hypertension. We aimed to evaluate COVID-19’s impact on blood pressure (BP) in non-hospitalized patients at one-year follow-up. Method A total 7,950 consecutive COVID-19 regularly visiting our cardiology clinic were retrospectively screened. Patients’ electronic medical records including demographics, comorbidities, vital signs, treatments, and outcomes, reviewed by two physicians. Individuals...
Chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) is a common disease worldwide. Advances in technology, including quantitative angiography, have improved CCS management. In the present study, we aim to investigate correlation and agreement between intravascular ultrasound minimum luminal area (IVUSMLA) (QMLA) patients with intermediate lesions. Data from at least one-vessel occlusion March 2022 2023 were collected. Gathered data included patients' age, gender, QMLA, IVUSMLA, previous medical history,...
The triglyceride-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio, Metabolic Score for Insulin Resistance (METS-IR), triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, and body mass index (TyG-BMI) have been associated with the occurrence severity of coronary artery disease (CAD), although evidence remains limited. A total 1,017 patients undergoing angiography first time were included. resistance (IR) indices calculated based on patients' laboratory data. Significant CAD was defined as more than 50%...

Introduction: Cardiac dysfunction is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Previous studies have shown that kidney transplantation can reverse some the gross changes myocardial structure such as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) volumes. Whether subtle early ESRD who do not suffer from alternations function yet studied. The aim this study was to answer question. Methods: We followed 25 at baseline all them had transplant were...
