Sports activities could gather people in one place, which may negatively affect the environment, such as noise pollution, antisocial behaviors, waste, air pollution, and sharp lighting. Objectives: This paper aims to investigate the role of sport in sustainable environmental development. This applied-developmental study utilized an exploratory qualitative method to collect data. Methods: The statistical population included all top managers of sports organizations (including the National Olympic Committee, Ministry of Sports, and all sports federations), specialists and experts in sport management in Iran, and some managers of the Iranian Department of Environment. Thirteen experts were selected using the purposive sampling method and snowballing technique. The semi-structured interview was used as a data collection tool. Data analysis was done with grounded theory through open, axial, and selective coding. Results: The results indicated that the pattern of sustainable environmental development based on the sport consists of 211 concepts and 26 subcategories. Categories 4, 4, 5, 8, and 4 were related to the causal factors, the fields, and domains, mediating variables, strategies, and consequences, respectively, and one category was also considered an axial phenomenon. Adequacy measure of the research process and quality of data and interpretations was approved based on credibility, transferability, dependability, confirmability, honesty, and data-derived theory criteria, including conformity, comprehensiveness, generality, and controllability. Conclusions: According to the results from the model, the sustainable environmental development based on the sport is affected by foresight, environmental values of sport, environmental requirements of the sport, green sports movement, educational and research factors, communication and promotional elements, economics, structural factors, and organizational factors, which can lead to green productivity in sports and the quality of life and well-being of citizens.","PeriodicalId":15058,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Archives in Military Medicine","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88734651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objectives: The role of personality traits in the psychological capital of nurses was mediated by career path adaptability. Methods: The present study was applied in terms of purpose, descriptive in terms of method, and correlational in terms of type. The statistical population of this study included all the nurses of Tehran University of Medical Sciences in 2022. Hereby, 220 nurses were selected from the selected hospitals through voluntary sampling. Data collection tools included Neuroticism, Extraversion, and Openness (NEO) Personality Inventory (2000), and Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS) (2012), and psychological capital questionnaire (PCQ) (2007). Data were analyzed by structural equation modeling using SPSS and AMOS24 at a significance level of P < 0.05. Results: Pearson's correlation test showed a significant relationship between personality traits, psychological capital, and career path adaptability. Also, the results of the Sobel test showed that career path adaptability plays a mediating role between personality traits and psychological capital (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Nurses’ personality traits should be considered to select nurses. Nurses who have desired career path adaptability can better adapt to job changes, which leads to an increase in their psychological capital.","PeriodicalId":15058,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Archives in Military Medicine","volume":"91 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86192317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Comat","doi":"10.5812/jamm-129649","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5812/jamm-129649","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Exertional heat stroke is a pathology well known to military doctors because it is not uncommon for our soldiers to regularly make intense efforts in difficult training or operational missions. Idiopathic etiology and genetics are by far the most described. We report for the first time a case of exertional heat stroke secondary to amphetamine use in the military environment and here, let’s raise the issue of ethics in the Army. Case Presentation: A young parachutist soldier presented an episode of general convulsions complicating an exertional heat stroke during an 8 km race in battledress and combat boots. After further investigations, laboratory results found amphetamine in the urine. Even if the soldier only allowed branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) supplements, this exertional heat stroke was due to amphetamine use. After a review of the physiopathological effects of amphetamine, we will recall the various means of screening with their limits. Many of our soldiers consume dietary supplements to be able to better endure the constraints to which they are exposed in internship or operations. Conclusions: Doping, willingly or not, is a reality in our Army, even though we still struggle to understand it. Health and command chains must be vigilant to these lines to preserve the health of our military on the one hand and enforce a code of ethics on the other.","PeriodicalId":15058,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Archives in Military Medicine","volume":"353 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76468868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently used physical training programs are mainly based on cardiovascular routines that do not fulfill all physical requirements. Feasible and easy-accessible training programs are needed to improve strength-related physical performance. Objectives: The current study aims to investigate the effectiveness of a suspension-training program with the total body resistance exercise band in physical fitness, biomechanical lower extremity injury risk factors, mental health, and work-related factors in navy personnel. Methods: To conduct this parallel-group randomized controlled trial, 50 young men aged 18 to 28 years will be recruited. The intervention group performs suspension training (three times a week for 8 weeks) in addition to their daily duties; however, the control group continues their daily duties. The primary outcome is physical performance. The secondary outcomes include biomechanical lower extremity injury risk factors, mental health, and work-related factors. Discussion: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a randomized controlled trial of suspension training in performance, lower extremity frontal plane kinematics, job satisfaction, workability, and quality of life in navy personnel. This trial might provide new insights for various experts and military coaches and suspension-training programs can be used as new methods to meet all military personnel demands with minimum facilities.","PeriodicalId":15058,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Archives in Military Medicine","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77994991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the impact of exercise on these indicators as well as the effects of exercise continuation or cessation have not been clearly identified. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effects of doing regular exercise and cessation of exercise on physical and mental health indicators of the old people. Methods: A total of 395 old individuals with a history of at least five years of regular exercise who had either stopped exercising for two years or been engaged in regular exercise volunteered to participate in this study. Two questionnaires including Beck Depression Inventory questionnaire (by Aaron Beck) and McGill Pain Questionnaire were used to measure the depression and the pain perception, respectively. Cardiorespiratory fitness, body mass index (BMI), waist to hip ratio (WHR), and balance were measured using relevant tests. T-test and Pearson correlation coefficient test were used to analyze the data. Results: The results showed that the indicators of physical health (i.e., cardiovascular fitness, disability, muscle pain, BMI, and WHR) in active old individuals were significantly different from those in inactive old ones; however, blood pressure and balance indicators were not different in active and inactive old individuals. Furthermore, psychological health indicators (i.e., life expectancy and depression) were significantly higher in active old individuals than inactive ones. Conclusions: In sum, continuation of physical activities during old age was found necessary to maintain some health indices. It was also found that the effects of previous physical activities on some health indices were not permanent.","PeriodicalId":15058,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Archives in Military Medicine","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86213636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early detection of the cause of neutropenia and appropriate treatment, including experimental antifungal therapy, plays a key role in reducing mortality and cutting financial costs for the individual and society. Methods: In this retrospective study, the records of 33 patients with fever and neutropenia who received antifungal drugs (including Amphotericin B, Voriconazole, Caspofungin, and Fluconazole) were evaluated. Neutropenia was defined as episodes of fever (axillary temperature > 38.2°C or oral temperature > 37.7°C) and neutrophil count < 500 /μL persistent for five days despite antibacterial therapy without an infectious etiology. For statistical analysis, SPSS software version 21 was used. Results: In this study, out of 33 neutropenic patients receiving antifungal therapy, a fungal agent was defined in 19 patients (59%). Mucor species was the most common cause of fungal infections, followed by aspergillus and candida. Liposomal Amphotericin B and Caspofungin were the most common antifungal agents used for treating patients with neutropenic fever. Antifungal therapy in neutropenic patients resulted in 50% recovery and 50% mortality. Statistical analysis showed that neutropenic patients did not have a significant difference in response to treatments based on age groups and gender. Conclusions: The study highlights the importance of experimental therapy in neutropenic patients based on clinical criteria and risk factors, and with a diagnostic approach, rather than general treatment.","PeriodicalId":15058,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Archives in Military Medicine","volume":"96 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88411110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
