We aimed to estimate the prevalence and number of Alzheimer's disease in Iran by 2029.Methods: Dynamic modeling techniques were employed to project the number of Alzheimer's disease (AD) among the elderly population in Iran by the year 2029. Two interconnected models were developed to facilitate this estimation. The initial model is a demographic model that captures the aging population's growth dynamics. The subsequent model, an AD evaluation model, that assess potential impacts on disease. This approach enables a comprehensive analysis of the factors influencing AD trends within the context of Iran's aging demographic.Results: The results show the number of individuals aged over 60 is expected to rise from approximately 9.1 million in 2020 to around 13.7 million in 2029. As the older adult population grows, the number of AD is also anticipated to increase. The number of Alzheimer's patients is predicted to grow from about 464,400 in 2020 to roughly 729,900 by 2029.Conclusion: Forecasting future trends in AD, especially in developing countries, is crucial for policymakers because of its growing impact on healthcare systems and economies globally. The findings of this study can aid in assessing the economic burdens associated with treating Alzheimer's patients, providing valuable insights for planning and resource allocation.","PeriodicalId":14685,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Public Health","volume":"54 5","pages":"1064-1073"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12319446/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144789164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two independent reviewers screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias according to predefined criteria.

Preventing and managing HAIs requires nursing interventions such hand hygiene, personal protective equipment (PPE) usage, environmental cleaning, and antimicrobial stewardship. This meta-analysis examined how nursing interventions reduced HAIs in different hospital settings.Methods: A complete PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science search was undertaken for January 2000-December 2023 research. Studies on HAI-reducing nursing interventions were included. Study quality was evaluated using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The random-effects model was used to construct pooled risk ratios (RRs) with 95% CIs in meta-analysis. We also performed subgroup, sensitivity, and publication bias analyses.Results: Fourteen trials with 2540 individuals were included. In the pooled study, nursing interventions significantly reduced HAI incidence (RR = 0.42, 95% CI: 0.35-0.50, P < 0.001). Subgroup analysis indicated that hand hygiene, PPE usage, environmental cleaning, and antimicrobial stewardship reduced HAIs. Sensitivity analysis verified these results' reliability. Egger's test showed no publication bias (P = 0.78). Over time, cumulative meta-analysis showed constant effect sizes.Conclusion: Nursing interventions significantly reduce HAIs. Hand hygiene, PPE, environmental cleaning, and antimicrobial stewardship are essential to infection control. Healthcare institutions should prioritise these actions and resolve compliance hurdles to enhance patient outcomes and minimise HAIs. Research is needed to explore innovative approaches and identify factors influencing compliance.","PeriodicalId":14685,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Public Health","volume":"54 5","pages":"915-927"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12319439/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144789155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Colombia, research on these correlations exists but is fragmented and methodologically varied, limiting the ability to generalize findings. This lack of standardization highlights the need for a unified approach. This study aimed to address this gap by analyzing HGS in the Colombian context.Methods: Overall, 678 subjects (48.9% female and 51.1% male) were enrolled in 2022. They were aged between 18 and 63 yr old, apparently healthy, and were from Bogota, Colombia. It was measured using a Jamar dynamometer. To determine the seven variables of the hand, the posture recommended by the ASHT was followed.Results: Men had significantly higher HGS than women. The dominant hand represents 94.6% of females and 90.5% of males. However, dominance does not have a negative impact on gender when it is analyzed alone. The use of predictive models with cubic regressions permitted us to establish significant variables such as gender and hand width for the right hand and gender, age, hand thickness, and maximum palmar length for the left hand.Conclusion: The predictive models, the HGS relationship and the dimensions of the hand are evidenced, but in future studies it will be necessary to include the arm, forearm, and wrist sections to the methodology.","PeriodicalId":14685,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Public Health","volume":"54 5","pages":"1003-1013"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12319448/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144789151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fixed-effects and random-effects models were used for effect size synthesis, and the stability of the results was assessed by heterogeneity testing, sensitivity analysis, and publication bias detection.Results: Eight cross-sectional studies comprising 748 participants were included, and the mean score for patients' readiness to discharge was 146.98 (95% CI: 127.17, 166.79) under a random-effects model, but the analysis showed a very high degree of heterogeneity (I2=100%, P<0.01).
