The study method was complete enumeration and 1474 healthcare workers who were medical staff of seven hospitals in Tehran and were vaccinated with one of the AstraZeneca, Covaxin, Sputnik V, and Sinopharm vaccines. Two main questions of this questionnaire were the occurrence or non-occurrence of any side effects after receiving the vaccines and the presence or absence of COVID-19 infection after vaccination. \u0000Results: According to the results obtained, in recipients vaccinated with Sinopharm vaccine, the group that reported at least one side effects after receiving the vaccine had a significantly higher COVID-19 infection than the group reported no side effects after vaccination (P<0.001) (RR=4.55). Also in whole sample study Participants who have reported one or more side effect after COVID-19 vaccination, had 3.7 times higher risk of breakthrough infection than others (P<0.001); However Among those vaccinated with AstraZeneca, Covaxin and Sputnik vaccines, no significant difference was observed between the groups with and without side effects after vaccination in terms of later COVID-19 infection. \u0000Conclusion: It seems that participants who have reported one or more side effect after COVID-19 vaccination, had times higher risk of breakthrough infection than others.","PeriodicalId":22117,"journal":{"name":"Tabari Biomedical Student Research Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77382531","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}

Photographs of the teeth in normal position of head and social smile were taken from a distance of 30 cm. The apparent width of teeth was measured with a digital ruler.

Data were analyzed using SPSS 24 software. \u0000Results: Measurements showed that the visible width of maxillary anterior teeth on the right and left as well as between men and women was not significantly different. Golden ratio was only established between the visible width of the right lateral to the right central teeth (P<0.05). \u0000Conclusion: The golden ratio was not established between any of the teeth, except for the right central to the right lateral.

Approximately, 38 million people worldwide who are living with HIV are exposed to a variety of opportunistic infections. Opportunistic infections, continue to be a major cause of death among HIV-positive people. The high prevalence of specific opportunistic parasites among HIV-positive individuals is well known. These types of parasitic infections occur in HIV-positive individuals with more severe symptoms which are difficult to treatment. \u0000Material and Methods: In this study, the databases of PubMed, Scopus, SID, Magiran, Web of Science, IranDoc and Google Scholar were searched and articles related to the title from 2002 to 2021 were reviewed. \u0000Results: Toxoplasmic encephalitis is the most common cause of focal brain lesions due to opportunistic infections complicating the course of AIDS. In tropical countries, the pathophysiological, clinical, and epidemiological interactions between HIV and pathogenic organisms such as malaria are a major public health concern. About 11.2% of people living with HIV also have Cryptosporidium. Visceral leishmaniasis can accelerate the progression of the disease in HIV-positive individuals and leads to AIDS. \u0000Conclusion: Due to the resistance of Co-infection of HIV and parasitic diseases to treatment, the best solution seems to be HIV prevention, medical and health care for HIV-positive individuals. HIV prevention strategies include screening, use of protective equipment during sexual intercourse, non-use of shared syringes, treatment as prevention, post-exposure prevention and pre-virus prevention.","PeriodicalId":22117,"journal":{"name":"Tabari Biomedical Student Research Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85313791","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 use of wheat germ oil in cosmetics is because this oil contains ceramide that prevents skin aging and can preserve the skin. \u0000Material and Methods: A vanishing oil in water (O/W) cream based on wheat germ oil was made and formulated. The antioxidants of the cream were extracted, and the best extraction conditions were obtained by the Taguchi method. Four factors of temperature, time, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and round per minute (RPM) were investigated at three levels. To maintain consumer health, carcinogenic preservatives such as parabens were removed from the formulation, and a new composition of methylpropanediol, capryl glycol, and phenylpropanoldiol (OMP) was used in the formulation. At microbial testing, two standard strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were selected as representative of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The stability of the antioxidants of wheat germ oil in the cream structure was studied. \u0000 Results: In the extraction of the antioxidants from the cream structure, the highest impact was related to the DPPH factor (78%) and temperature (14%), respectively. A growth inhibition zone of 24mm diameter was observed for S. aureus and 16mm for P. aeruginosa. The wheat germ oil cream was completely stable at 37°C after 30 days. \u0000Conclusion: A vanishing herbal cream was formulated base on OMP composition with a very good antimicrobial activity.

Patient demographic data, laboratory results of anti-HAV IgG and vaccination history were recorded. Four cc of blood were drawn from each student for the anti-HAV IgG test and after the test was performed. Data were analyzed using SPSS 24 software.Results: One hundred and fifty-five students were interviewed. The mean age (standard deviation) of the students in this study was 23.81 (1.47) years. Ninety-nine (63.9%) of the students were male. Therefore, it was caused by previous infection with HAV and 120 (77.4%) cases were considered susceptible individuals whose serum anti-HAV IgG was negative.
