Considering these conditions and the collection of large amounts of data, the present research was conducted on allergic rhinitis and asthma patients' data to extract the common symptoms of these diseases using cluster analysis and the k-means algorithm.Materials and methods: The present cross-sectional research was conducted in Mashhad city. The inclusion criteria were affliction with one or two respiratory allergy diseases diagnosed by an allergy specialist through clinical history taking and physical examination. A researcher-made checklist was used in the present study for data collection. Then, the K-means algorithm's cluster analysis model was conducted to extract clusters (WEKA software (3, 6, 9)).Results: Overall, 1,231 patients met the inclusion criteria. The result of the Cluster analysis consisted of Cluster 1 in allergic rhinitis consisted of 702 patients, and cluster 2 consisted of 382 patients.46 asthma patients were assigned to cluster 1 and 23 to cluster 2.Also, 60 asthma and allergic rhinitis patients were assigned to cluster 1 and 19 to cluster 2. The most common symptoms in all patients were rhinorrhea, sneezing, nasal congestion, and itchy nose.Conclusion: Overall, Salsola kali was the most common allergen in allergic rhinitis and asthma patients. Also, the most common symptoms in patients are rhinorrhea, sneezing, itchy nose, and nasal congestion. This study can help physicians diagnose allergic rhinitis and asthma in geographical areas with a high prevalence of Salsola kali.","PeriodicalId":22247,"journal":{"name":"Tanaffos","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10618594/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71427076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Measures to control the COVID-19 pandemic have affected other health problems and diseases, including tuberculosis (TB) and its control. The present narrative review aimed at reviewing published literature on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on TB control.Materials and methods: English language databases, including PubMed, ISI, Scopus, and Google Scholar, were searched using the keywords \"Tuberculosis, COVID-19, and Coronavirus\" to find relevant articles.Results: Problems and limitations in financial and human resources, as well as medical and laboratory services caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, contribute to the reduction in the number of newly diagnosed patients with TB. More effort in identifying patients with TB is of great importance, and if the global number of newly diagnosed patients with TB decreases by 25% for three consecutive months due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the TB mortality rate will increase by 13%. An increase in the TB mortality rate means the failure of TB control programs to reach the targets of the Global End TB Strategy.Conclusion: According to the latest statistics released by the Ministry of Health, the incidence of TB in Iran has not yet reached fewer than 100 cases per million population. On the other hand, being a neighbor with countries with a high risk of TB is a serious threat to Iran. Therefore, further effort to control TB during the COVID-19 pandemic is particularly important.","PeriodicalId":22247,"journal":{"name":"Tanaffos","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/77/94/Tanaffos-21-408.PMC10423866.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10010167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the present study, we attempted to identify the associated factors in surviving COVID-19 intensive care unit (ICU) patients based on their clinical characteristics.Materials and methods: This retrospective study was performed on 114 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patients admitted to the intensive care units of Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences, Iran. Demographic, medical, clinical manifestations at admission time, and outcome data were obtained from the patient's medical records.Results: Of 114 participants included in this study, 64.9% were men. Their mean age was approximately 54 years old, 69.3% of them died and 30.7% of them were discharged. The mortality rate was 2.96 times higher in people who had ARDS compared to their counterparts, 1.37 times higher in people under non-invasive ventilation, and 3.56 times higher in people under invasive mechanical ventilation.Three common underlying diseases among them were hypertension in 34.2%, diabetes in 23.7%, and cardiovascular diseases in 17.5% of them. Alive and dead patients significantly differed only in the following laboratory tests: D-dimer, urea, troponin, Procalcitonin, and ferritin.Conclusion: The mortality rate among COVID-19 patients admitted to ICU is generally high. Dyspnea, as the initial presentation and comorbidity, especially hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, may be associated with a higher risk of developing severe disease and consequent mortality. Therefore, D-dimer, urea, troponin, Procalcitonin, and ferritin at the time of hospital admission could predict the severity of the disease and its probable mortality.","PeriodicalId":22247,"journal":{"name":"Tanaffos","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/8c/a0/Tanaffos-21-455.PMC10423860.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10012688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It can lead to systemic multi-organ complications; in particular, venous and arterial thromboembolism risk is significantly increased. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) occurs in 22.7% of patients with COVID-19 in the ICU and 8% in non-ICU hospitalized patients. Studies evaluating thromboprophylaxis strategies in patients with COVID-19 are needed to improve the prevention of VTE. VTE is the most commonly reported thrombotic complication, with higher incidence rates among critically ill patients. Several vaccines have been licensed and are currently used to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, several cases of vaccine-induced thrombosis have been reported. Vaccination remains the most critical measure to curb the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a broad consensus that the benefits of vaccination greatly outweigh the potential risks of rare vaccine side effects, such as vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT). Therefore, the importance of vaccination should be emphasized.

The aim of this study is to determine the impact of the virtual training of relaxation techniques, including Jacobson and Benson techniques, on the anxiety of home-isolated patients with COVID-19.Materials and methods: This clinical trial was conducted in 2020 in Hamadan Sina Hospital, where 60 COVID-19 patients were randomly allocated to an experimental (n = 30) and a control (n = 30) group. Both groups received the usual care. However, in addition to the usual care, COVID-19 patients in the experimental group received relaxation technique training, including Jacobson and Benson techniques, in the form of pamphlets and instructional videos according to the schedule (twice a week for 4 weeks) via WhatsApp. The Spielberger Anxiety Inventory was filled out by subjects before and after the intervention.Results: The mean scores of explicit, implicit, and overall anxiety were not significantly different between the control and experimental groups prior to the intervention (P>0.05). However, the mean score of explicit, implicit, and overall anxiety in the control and experimental groups differed significantly after the intervention (p<0.05).Conclusion: The results of this study showed that Jacobsen and Benson relaxation techniques are effective in reducing anxiety among COVID-19 patients. Therefore, it is recommended to perform complementary therapeutic interventions for these patients, in addition to the administration of medications.","PeriodicalId":22247,"journal":{"name":"Tanaffos","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/af/ab/Tanaffos-21-472.PMC10423857.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10010169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
