It is essential to identify influential motivational factors to create willingness and improve skills in health staff, especially nurses. This study aimed to determine the factors affecting the willingness and ability of nurses to deal with different disasters in some hospitals of Tehran, Iran. Methods. This cross-sectional study used a researcher-made questionnaire consisting of three parts: 1) demographic questions, 2) questions indicating the level of nurses' willingness and the ability to respond to various disasters, and 3) questions about obstacles for working in disasters. Results. A total of 308 questionnaires were completed. While 60.7% of respondents were male, 39.3% were female. The level of willingness and ability of participants to work in disasters indicated that the highest willingness and ability were associated with natural disasters (floods, earthquakes), and the lowest willingness and ability were related to participating in response to epidemics. The prioritization of the participants concerning the most critical barriers of appropriate response to the disasters demonstrated that caring for children in natural disasters and mass casualty incident, family health in chemical disasters, fear of contamination in nuclear disasters, and fear of infection in an epidemic were the main obstacles. The factors of gender, age, marital status, and health level of individuals affected the level of willingness and ability of participants. Besides, the parameters, including income level and caring for the elderly and disabled people influenced the willingness of nurses to participate in times of crisis. Conclusion. The professional preparation of health care personnel to perform their duties in critical conditions is essential. Hence, preventive measures to minimize the risk and strengthen the ethical obligations of employees in this profession in crises will be beneficial. Practical Implications. The findings of this study provide an opportunity to strengthen the ability and willingness of health care workers to address barriers to intervention in times of crisis. Also, health care centers should support the staff caring for children, the elderly, and disabled people.","PeriodicalId":18474,"journal":{"name":"Medical journal of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences and Health Services","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84876964","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}

{"title":"Validation of methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction method and evaluation of FMR1 gene pre-mutations in premature ovarian insufficiency","authors":"F. Afkhami, S. Shahbazi, L. Farzadi, Masoumeh Azizi","doi":"10.34172/mj.2022.032","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.34172/mj.2022.032","url":null,"abstract":"Background. Fragile X-associated premature ovarian insufficiency is clinically defined as a type of early ovarian failure with irregular menstrual cycles, increased follicle-stimulating hormone, premature menopause, and infertility. Genetically, the CGG trinucleotide repeat expansion in the 5'-untranslated region of the FMR1 gene is recognized as a causative factor. The aim of this study was to standardize molecular detection methods and estimate the number of repeats among patients with premature ovarian insufficiency. Methods. After obtaining a consent form and blood sampling, genomic DNA was extracted and treated with sodium bisulfite. The FMR1 gene is located on X chromosome and one allele is methylated by X-inactivation. As a result, the methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MS-PCR) was performed using two pairs of specific primers for methylated and non-methylated DNA yelding the products of 108+3n and 168+3n bp, respectively. Following clinical evaluations, 20 sporadic patients and two families with at least two patients were studied. Results. The mean level of follicle-stimulating hormone was 85.45±44.73UI/L in sporadic and 75.72±33.61UI/L in familial cases. Ultrasound examinations reported atrophic ovaries in sporadic and familial cases by 80% and 75%, respectively. The evaluation of the trinucleotide repeat expansions on agarose gels showed that two sporadic patients were carriers of FMR1 intermediate alleles (10%). No cases of pre-mutation or full mutation were observed in other sporadic or familial cases and the trinucleotide repeat expansions were estimated between 15 and 35. Conclusion. Due to the role of the FMR1 gene trinucleotide repeat expansion in women with premature ovarian insufficiency, a fast and cost-effective molecular detection method is of particular importance. This test will be beneficial not only in ovarian dysfunction, but also to identify pre-mutations that may expand in next generations leading to fragile X syndrome. Practical Implications. In young women, the detection of expanded CGG trinucleotide repeats in the 5'-untranslated region of the FMR1 gene along with genetic counseling will provide them to plan reproductive life.","PeriodicalId":18474,"journal":{"name":"Medical journal of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences and Health Services","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88975822","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}

Shetabi, Leili Adinehmehr, Sharifi Faezeh","doi":"10.34172/mj.2022.029","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.34172/mj.2022.029","url":null,"abstract":"Background. Induction of general anesthesia may cause hemodynamic instability. Remifentanil is often prescribed to suppress the hemodynamic response to anesthesia. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of remifentanil on hemodynamic response to induction of anesthesia with propofol fentanyl or propofol ketamine and laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion. Methods. This double-blind randomized clinical trial study was performed on 44 candidates for cataract surgery in Feyz Hospital, Isfahan, Iran from March to June 2020. Patients were randomly assigned into two groups using random allocation software. The first group received 1 mcg/kg fentanyl and the second group received 0.5 mg/kg ketamine. Also, both groups received 1 mg/kg propofol and 0.5 mcg/kg remifentanil intravenously. Hemodynamic parameters were measured and recorded at study times, and the results were analyzed statistically. Results. The mean age (P=0.199), weight (P=0.050), height (P=0.9), and frequency distribution of gender (0.763) and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score (0.069) were not significantly different between the two groups. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) in fentanyl group were significantly lower than the ketamine group immediately before LMA insertion, as well as 1, 3, and 5 minutes after LMA insertion (P <0.050). In addition, the mean heart rate (HR) in the fentanyl group decreased significantly at different time (P<0.001), but no significant difference was observed in ketamine group (P=0.056). In addition, the mean HR did not differ significantly between the two groups in any of the follow-up times (P>0.050). Conclusion. Intravenous administration of remifentanil in induction of anesthesia with propofol-ketamine and propofol-fentanyl reduced changes in hemodynamic responses to LMA insertion. This hemodynamic stability was increased by adding remifentanil to the propofol-ketamine combination. Practical Implications. Remifentanil is associated with weakening of hemodynamic responses to LMA insertion in induction of anesthesia with propofol and ketamine or propofol and fentanyl; this effect can be associated with safety in cardiac patients.","PeriodicalId":18474,"journal":{"name":"Medical journal of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences and Health Services","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80635178","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}

{"title":"The effect of ovariectomy on hemodynamic functions and the level of nitric oxide metabolites in the heart of rats","authors":"Nasibeh Yousefzadeh, S. Jeddi, A. Ghasemi","doi":"10.34172/mj.2022.026","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.34172/mj.2022.026","url":null,"abstract":"Background. A higher prevalence of cardiovascular disorders has been observed in women after menopause. This study aimed to determine the long-term effects of ovariectomy on hemodynamic functions and the level of nitric oxide metabolites (NOx) in the heart tissue of ovariectomized rats. Methods. Fourteen female Wistar rats were divided into two groups (n=7 in each group) of control and ovariectomized (OVX). OVX rat model was induced using the two dorsolateral skin incision method. Cardiac hemodynamic function indices, including the left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP), peak rate of positive changes in the left ventricular pressure (+dp/dt), and peak rate of negative changes in the left ventricular pressure (-dp/dt) were measured at the time of systole in hearts after 11 months of the ovariectomy. Serum and left ventricular levels of NOx were measured at the end of the study. Results. At the end of the study, OVX rats had lower LVDP (19%, P=0.001), +dp/dt (30%, P<0.001) and -dp/dt (23%, P=0.004) than control group. In addition, the OVX group had lower serum NOx levels (30%, P=0.021) compared to the control group; heart tissue NOx was also lower by 31% in the OVX rats, but it was not statistically significant (P=0.056). Conclusion. Long-term ovariectomy disrupts cardiac hemodynamic function in ovariectomized rats, which is associated with decreased NOx levels in serum. Practical Implications. Our findings indicated impaired cardiac function following long-term estrogen deficiency in OVX rats. These results can be used to prevent and treat the cardiovascular disease in post-menopausal women. However, these results need to be confirmed in humans.","PeriodicalId":18474,"journal":{"name":"Medical journal of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences and Health Services","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76352835","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}

Pirzadeh","doi":"10.34172/mj.2022.028","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.34172/mj.2022.028","url":null,"abstract":"Background. The extrapyramidal system is part of the central nervous system (CNS) involved in motor control. Extrapyramidal symptoms include a variety of acute and chronic movement disorders caused by medications. Currently, antipsychotic medications are the mainstay of treatment for schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders and can cause extrapyramidal symptoms. The St. Hans Rating Scale (SHRS) is a multidimensional scale designed to quantify the severity of dystonia, parkinsonism, akathisia, and dyskinesia caused by antipsychotic drugs. This scale has not yet been translated into Persian so far. Considering the importance of assessing the quality of life in patients with severe or chronic psychiatric disorders, this study aimed to translate the SHRS into Persian and evaluate its validity and reliability. Also, we presented the software version of the SHRS. Methods. This descriptive-analytical (methodological) study was performed on patients with psychiatric disorders treated with antipsychotic medications. After translating the SHRS into Persian, the validity and reliability of the Persian version was evaluated and the necessary corrections were made. Then, the Persian version was back-translated into English, followed by re-translation into Persian. A total of 30 patients were examined for extrapyramidal symptoms using the prepared version. The expert group concluded that there is no need to translate SHRS. Results. Regarding face validity, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.99 and reliability was 0.99. The mean scores by the first psychiatrist were 2.03 in the first visit and 2.1 in the second visit. These scores were 2 in the first visit and 2.03 in the second visit by the second psychiatrist. Conclusion. The software version of SHRS has good reliability and validity and can be used to evaluate the extrapyramidal symptoms of patients. Practical Implications. English version of the SHRS and its application for cellphone can be used to assess extrapyramidal symptoms.","PeriodicalId":18474,"journal":{"name":"Medical journal of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences and Health Services","volume":"102 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85272731","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 novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was declared a global pandemic. There is an urgent need for finding efficient medical treatments to diminish the high mortality rate of the mutant variants of the virus. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of edaravone in patients with moderate COVID-19. Methods. This single-center non-randomized controlled clinical trial was performed on hospitalized patients with moderate COVID-19. The patients were divided into two groups of intervention (n=17) and control (n=16). Patients in the intervention group received three doses of edaravone (30 mg) for three interval days (Days 2, 4, and 6). Admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), need for intubation, and mortality were the primary outcomes. Results. All cases had 15-60% lung involvement. Although edaravone reduced the admission to ICU, need for intubation, and mortality rate in patients with moderate COVID-19, the results were not statistically significant. Baseline characteristics, admission days, and clinical parameters were similar between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion. Administration of edaravone 30 mg for three days had no significant effect on the overall outcome of patients with moderate COVID-19. Practical Implications.

This systematic review evaluated the studies conducted on Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) due to COVID-19 vaccination to clarify any possible connections and the type of vaccines causing GBS. Methods. A comprehensive search was performed on July 2021 through MEDLINE (via PubMed), Scopus, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases to detect published and unpublished papers. Our PICO was all COVID-19 vaccinated individuals as the population, COVID-19 vaccines as the intervention, and patients experiencing GBS following COVID-19 vaccination as the outcome. Critical appraisal instruments from the Joanna Briggs Institute case series or case report were used to evaluate the quality of included studies. Results. In the present systematic review, 12 case reports and case series including 21 patients were assessed. More than half of the patients were male, and the mean age of male patients was lower than females. In terms of vaccine type, the most common kind of vaccine injected was Oxford/AstraZeneca, and all the cases except one patient had received only one dose of the vaccine. Regarding the interval between receiving the vaccine and the onset of GBS symptoms, the mean duration was 14 days. The lowest mean time interval between receiving the vaccine and the onset of symptoms of GBS was related to the unnamed vector-based COVID-19 vaccine, and the highest was associated with Oxford/AstraZeneca. Conclusion. Through this systematic review of case reports, we neither attempt to establish nor rule out a causal link between the COVID-19 vaccine and GBS, because such a link requires extensive case-control studies. However, we must highlight any events that may occur following the injection of existing vaccines. Practical Implications. The most common symptoms seen in patients experiencing GBS after vaccination included progressive bilateral lower limb weakness, paresthesia, numbness of limbs, generalized body aches, and back pain.","PeriodicalId":18474,"journal":{"name":"Medical journal of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences and Health Services","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76840312","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}

Childhood is one of the most important stages of life in which a person's personality is established and formed. Most post-childhood behavioral disorders and maladaptations are due to a lack of attention to a sensitive childhood and a lack of proper guidance in the developmental process. This negligence leads to incompatibility with the environment and the occurrence of various deviations in different dimensions for the child. The present study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of play-based family therapy on reducing behavioral problems in children in Ardakan, Iran. Methods. This quasi-experimental research had a pre-test-post-test design with experimental and control groups and random replacement. The statistical population included all children with behavioral problems aged 7-11 years who were studying in Ardakan city in 2018-2019 academic year. Using purposive sampling method, 30 subjects were selected and randomly assigned into the control and experimental groups. The experimental group received a family-centered play therapy program for nine sessions, while the control group received no intervention. The research tool included a demographic questionnaire and a Children's Behavioral Checklist (CBCL), which was provided to parents. Research data were analyzed using univariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Results. The results of data analysis showed that the family-centered play therapy training program improved children's behavioral problems, aggression, lawlessness, isolation, anxiety, and depression in the experimental group.(P<0.01) No significant change was observed in the control group.
