The present study aimed at examining the association between mental workload and general health among welders of Tehran Heavy Structuress Metal Company.This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2016. The sample included 100 welders who were working in Tehran Heavy Structures Metal Company. Sampling was done through conducting a census. A demographic questionnaire, General Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) mental workload questionnaire were used to collect data. The obtained data were fed into SPSS (version 22) and analyzed through Chi-square, one-way ANOVA, Kruscal Wallis Test, Pearson product moment correlation, and Mann-Whitney U Test.The results showed that the participating welders had an average age of 36.16±7.81, an average work experience of 9.65±5.83, and a BMI of 25.95±3.39 kg/m 2 . The mean and standard deviation of the overall score of welders’ mental workload were 65.88±21.15. The cut-off scores for the total mental workload questionnaire and the subscales were respectively set at 23 and 6. The results demonstrated that 26% of the welders were suspected of mental disorder. Furthermore, the results of Pearson correlation indicated that there was no significant relationship between the overall score of NASA mental workload and that of general health (p-value>0.05).Welders’ mental workload is relatively high. Therefore, further research should be conducted in order to identify main risk factors that lead to mental and health disorder. Future studies should also be performed to present some solutions for te purpose of decreasing or preventing these side effects among welders as much as possible.","PeriodicalId":16663,"journal":{"name":"Journal of paramedical sciences","volume":"7 1","pages":"45-51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87592817","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}

Yet, there are few reports in the literature related to this issue and resolution of this mechanism requires further experiments. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential role of serum iron and hemoglobin levels as a biomarker in diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke. The sample size was 60 ischemic stroke patients who were admitted to the Rouhhani hospital in Babol, with 60 healthy volunteers selected as control group. Clinical evaluation consisted of complete medical history and physical examination and neuro-imaging's studies. Sampling strategy was based on clinical characteristics, including age, gender, and history of diseases. Laboratory measurements were performed in the department of clinical biochemistry. Serum iron and plasma hemoglobin levels were measured by standard kit of iron and hemoglobin ELISA Kit, as of the manufactures' manual. Data were analyzed through statistical software SPSS version 22. The mean level of serum iron and hemoglobin in patients with acute ischemic stroke were higher than those in control group (P 0.05). Our results reinforce the possibility of serum iron and hemoglobin as biomarker in diagnosis of ischemic stroke patients.","PeriodicalId":16663,"journal":{"name":"Journal of paramedical sciences","volume":"77 1","pages":"24-28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81966097","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}

Factors of consumption of reduction sugars, brix and bacterial growth were examined after fermentation and during the storage for 28 days and at 4˚C. To produce probiotic fermented mixture of Carrot, Beet and apple juices and Lactobacillus casei suspension with initial concentration of about 1.5x10 7 , 1.5x10 6 cfu/ml was prepared and added to the mixture of juices to the amount of 20, 30 and 40% , respectively. The fermentation process was completed during 48 hours and at 37 ˚C. Data analysis was conducted using the multiplied Duncan test including 6 test treatments and 1 control treatment and was repeated 3 times. During the fermentation process within all of the treatments, the number of probiotic bacteria increased due to the usage of sugar and nutrients inside the juice while sugars and brix levels decreased. The results revealed that the sample of A3B1 with concentration of 40% and 1.5x10 6 cfu/ml of Lactobacillus casei was considered as the best treatment which had the maximum rate of cell viability during 4 weeks of storage at 4 ˚C. In the sensory evaluation that was conducted by the examiners after the first and the forth weeks at 4˚C, control treatment had the highest score and A3B1 treatment had the lowest score with concentration of 40% and the 10 6 cfu/ml of probiotic bacteria.","PeriodicalId":16663,"journal":{"name":"Journal of paramedical sciences","volume":"6 1","pages":"17-23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77962801","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}

The present study was conducted to assess the dietary pattern and associated intake of different essential nutrients and vitamins by adolescents in Himachal Pradesh of India. A sample of 150 adolescents in the age group of 11-19 years from the two selected blocks (Panchrukhi and Bhawarna) of Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh was selected randomly to collect information on dietary habits, frequency of eating out, type of fat used for cooking, food fads and fallacies and different nutrients intake across genders. It was found that majority of the male and female adolescents took meals three times a day and preferred home prepared foods. Females were mostly vegetarian whereas males were non- vegetarian. Majority of the male and female adolescents liked fried foods compared to pressure and fire wood cooked foods. Adolescents preferred foods fried in raw mustard oil. Majority of the respondents did not have any restrictions and beliefs regarding consumption of any type of food. There was significant difference in the mean intake of different essential nutrients and vitamins between the male and female adolescents reflecting prevalence of disparity in nutritional status across genders. Intake of most of the nutrients and vitamins by male and female adolescents were below the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) of Indian Council of Medical Research.","PeriodicalId":16663,"journal":{"name":"Journal of paramedical sciences","volume":"69 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84073115","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}

In this study, a PEO scaffold was used to show that mesenchymal stem cells can attach well; the aim of this study was the investigation of dexamethasone (Dex) effect on the proliferation of adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (AT-MSCs). At first, the Mesenchymal stem cells were isolated from adipose tissue. After culturing the cells and having a good density of the population, the cells were transferred to the scaffold. MTT, DAPI and SEM assays were used for evaluation of biocompatibility of PEO scaffolds, cell survival and also cell alignment of cells cultured on the PEO scaffold in comparison with the PEO-Dex. According to the MTT results, MSCs cell viability on PEO-Dex scaffold showed the significant increase compared with PEO scaffold. SEM result also showed that mesenchymal stem cells were more proliferate and grown on the PEO-Dex scaffolds and were more confluent in comparison with PEO scaffold. Evaluation of DAPI staining indicated significantly significant cell nucleus increase in PEO-Dex compared with PEO group. The results manifested that PEO-Dex could be a suitable scaffold for growing mesenchymal stem cells and is a promising candidate for tissue engineering application.","PeriodicalId":16663,"journal":{"name":"Journal of paramedical sciences","volume":"66 1","pages":"39-44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80213604","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}
