One of the most effective methods is the fascia iliaca compartment block. Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of the addition of dexmedetomidine to bupivacaine on the quality of ultrasound guided blockade of the fascia iliaca compartment in adults undergoing femoral shaft fracture surgery. Methods: This study was a double-blind clinical trial. We studied 60 adults who were hospitalized for a femoral shaft fracture. The patients were divided into two equal groups receiving either bupivacaine alone or bupivacaine and dexmedetomidine for compartment blockade of the iliac fascia. Group allocation was based on the method of randomization from concealed envelopes. Primary outcomes were pain intensity, sedation and analgesic consumption assessed at 1, 2, 6 and 24 hours after surgery in two groups. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. Results: Pain intensity was lower in the dexmedetomidine group 1, 2, 6 and 24 hours after surgery (p<0.05). The sedation score was also higher in the dexmedetomidine group 6 and 24 hours after surgery (p<0.05). The dose of analgesics used by the dexmedetomidine group was significantly lower 6 and 24 h after treatment. No hypotension, respiratory depressionand bradycardia occurred in the patients participating in this study. Conclusion: The addition of dexmedetomidine to bupivacaine during ultrasound-guided blockade of the fascia-iliac compartment is associated with reduced pain intensity and improved sedation in patients undergoing femoral fracture surgery.","PeriodicalId":14628,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Red Crescent Medical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139261984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In China, the common methods for risk stratification and guiding fine needle aspiration (FNA) in diagnosing thyroid nodules are the Chinese Thyroid Imaging Reports and Data Systems (C-TIRADS) and American College of Radiology-Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (ACR-TIRADS). Objectives: This review seeks to assess the effectiveness of C-TIRADS and ACR-TIRADS in accurately identifying the risk of malignancy in Chinese patients suspected of thyroid cancer. Methods: A detailed search was conducted in PubMed, Google Scholar, Medline, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases from January 2018 to December 2022. The analysis only considered original articles from China reporting the use of C-TIRADS and ACR-TIRADS confirmed by histology and FNA. Results: This review analyzed 26 studies with a total of 23,064 thyroid nodules from 19,114 patients to compare the diagnostic performance of C-TIRADS and ACR-TIRADS in predicting malignancy risk in thyroid nodules. Although the malignancy rates in each risk category were similar between the two systems, the TIRADS showed better diagnostic performance than C-TIRADS in terms of pooled specificity (95.0 % vs. 66.8 % of C-TIRADS). However, the pooled analysis showed that C-TIRADS had a better pooled sensitivity (94.6 % vs. 76.5% of ACR-TIRADS). The diagnostic odds ratio was 1.37 (95 % CI: 0.75-2.51) for ACR-TIRADS and 0.89 (95 % CI: 0.36-2.16) for C-TIRADS. Conclusion: Based on the results, both C-TIRADS and ACR-TIRADS are effective in predicting the risk of malignancy in thyroid nodules with similar overall diagnostic accuracy. The combination of both systems can be beneficial in enhancing accuracy in suspicious or uncertain cases. The long-term experience of the trained radiologists can readily help in concluding the diagnosis. As no single system or combination of systems can provide a 100% accurate prediction of the malignancy of thyroid nodules, the ultimate diagnosis relies on the concluding assessment of experienced radiologists and the medical team.","PeriodicalId":14628,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Red Crescent Medical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139289411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In pelvic fracture surgery, the choice of surgical approach may have a significant impact on the postoperative recovery and prognosis of patients. This study compared the postoperative recovery effect, coagulation function, and inflammatory indicators of patients through two different surgical approaches: the pararectus abdominis approach and the traditional ilioinguinal approach, aiming to provide more evidence and guidance for clinical practice. Objectives: To observe the differences in fibrinogen (FIB), D-dimer (D-D), and inflammatory factor levels between patients undergoing pelvic fracture surgery through the Pararectus abdominis approach and traditional ilioinguinal approach. Methods: A total of 86 patients with pelvic fractures were divided into a control group (n=43) and an observation group (n=43). The control group received traditional ilioinguinal approach surgery, while the observation group underwent surgery through the Pararectus abdominis approach. Comparisons were between the two groups for the postoperative coagulation function level, inflammatory factor level, and postoperative hip joint function scores. Results: Before surgery, there was no difference in FIB and D-D levels between the two groups (P>0.05). At 3 days and 7 days after the surgery, the levels of FIB and D-D in the two groups increased compared to before the surgery; however, the observation group was lower in this regard than the control group at the same time (P<0.05). The results of the repeated analysis of variance showed that there were group, time, and interaction effects between the two groups (P<0.05). One week after the operation, the scores of hip joint function were compared between the two groups (P>0.05). The hip joint function scores of the two groups were higher at 1 month and 3 months postoperatively than at 1 week, and the observation group was higher than the control group at the same time.

Methods: The medical records of 46 patients who underwent lumbar surgery in our hospital between January 2013 and January 2020 were retrospectively analysed. The patients included in the study were divided into an observation group (n=26) and a control group (n=20) based on the certainty of their myofascial pain TrP diagnosis. The TrPs were found and injected with a 1:5 mixture of compound betamethasone/lidocaine (2 mL). The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores and Patient Satisfaction Index (PSI) scores of the two groups were recorded before injection, on the day after injection, and one and two weeks after injection. The two groups’ postoperative bedridden time and analgesic medication treatment duration were calculated. All the scores were then compared. Results: The VAS scores of the observation group and the control group before injection were 7.00 ± 0.63 and 6.85 ± 0.59, respectively, and no significant difference was observed between the two groups (P>0.05). The VAS scores on the day and one and two weeks after injection were 2.65 ± 0.63, 3.46 ± 0.51, and 2.62 ± 0.50 in the observation group and 3.75 ± 0.44, 4.70 ± 0.47 and 4.95 ± 0.51 in the control group. Within the same group, the difference in patients at different time points was statistically significant (P<0.01), and the difference between the two groups at the same time point after injection was also statistically significant (P<0.01). The PSI score of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.01). The bedridden time of the observation group was 2.71 ± 0.45 d, which was shorter than the bedridden time of the control group (4.42 ± 0.49 d; P<0.01). The duration of non-steroidal drug use was also shorter in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.01).

Therefore, innovative programs and policies are crucial for providing ongoing education to patients on how to better manage their condition. Objectives: The present study aimed to identify the components of empowerment literacy for diabetic patients during disasters. Methods: The present research employed a qualitative content analysis approach using a conventional deductive method. Purposive sampling was conducted, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The panel consisted of 24 participants, including native Iranian endocrinologists, nurses, emergency medical center managers, and experts in the field of medical librarianship and information. These participants had direct experience in relief efforts during critical situations such as natural disasters. The interviews were recorded and transcribed into written format. Data analysis was performed using thematic analysis with the assistance of MaxQDA software. Results: The content analysis resulted in identification of 10 main categories, 61 sub-categories, and five themes, including Disaster risk perception literacy, Medication literacy, Resilience literacy, Nutrition literacy, and Self-help literacy. Conclusion: The obtained findings have informed the creation of targeted health literacy education materials for policymakers in disaster scenarios specifically designed for individuals with diabetes. Diabetic individuals, particularly those residing in disaster-prone areas, should possess knowledge of emergency and disaster policies to enhance their health literacy. They should actively manage their condition while keeping abreast of policymakers' guidelines.","PeriodicalId":14628,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Red Crescent Medical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139341938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, it is necessary to use the diagnostic methods with high sensitivity to detect abnormalities. In this study, we investigated the sensitivity of conventional cytogenetic and FISH methods in the diagnosis of genetic abnormalities in MM patients. Methods: This retrospective study included 246 patients who referred to the Kariminejhad Center for the Diagnosis of Genetic Abnormalities between 2009-2019. All patients were diagnosed based on diagnostic tests, as well as the approval of the relevant physician. The diagnosis of cytogenetic abnormality was made based on the two methods of conventional cytogenetic and FISH. Result: The results showed that out of 246 patients examined by conventional cytogenetic, only 17.8% had abnormal karyotypes. While out of 67 patients examined by FISH, 64.1% had abnormal results. The results also showed that 31 out of 50 patients with normal karyotype had abnormal FISH result. In the present study, the results showed that 25% of the patients had hyperdiploidy (57-47), which was diagnosed by conventional cytogenetic. Also, 40.90% had diploid abnormalities (pseudodiploid or structural abnormalities). FISH detected del 13q in 27.9% and t(11;14) IGH-CCND1 in 18.6% of patients, which were the most frequent compared to other abnormalities.

Methods: The present study was a descriptive correlational study conducted on one hundred adolescents with parents with cancer who were selected by available sampling method. The research instruments were a demographic questionnaire and a revised standard questionnaire of the Ritchie and Fitzpatrick family communication model. The information was analysed using S.P.S.S. version 16 software and descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, and correlation coefficient. Results: The proportion of consensual communication in the family was lowest (3%) and the proportion of laissez-faire communication in the family was highest (58%). The correlation is inverse in the number of children and in the range of treatment level, and a significant direct correlation is observed in the range of family communication pattern and child rank, but in other cases, the correlation coefficient shows no significant communication (p< 0/05). Conclusion: From the adolescents' perspective, most families whose parents have cancer move toward a laissez-faire family. In these families, there is a low level of conversation and harmony, there is little interaction between family members, and usually only a limited number of topics are discussed.

The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of percutaneous endoscopy on the treatment of patients with thoracic disc herniation. Objectives: To investigate the clinical efficacy and feasibility of transforaminal endoscopic discectomy in the treatment of thoracic disc herniation Methods: This retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with thoracic hernias between January 2014 and December 2019. A total of 13 operative cases were selected via census sampling. Lateral endoscopic treatment of thoracic disc herniation was performed on patients, and they were followed up for 6-18 months. All patients were assessed by the visual analog scale Visual Analogue Score (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) before the surgery, as well as one week, three months, and six months after the operation, respectively. Results: The sample included 13 patients with a mean age of 60.3 years. The location of the thoracic disc herniation varied among the patients. The VAS scores before the surgery, as well as one week, three months, and six months after the surgery, were 7±0.8, 3.3±0.6, 2.3±0.8, 1.4±0.3, and 1.3±0.4, respectively, pointing to a significant decrease (P≤0.001).
