Then, it is necessary to provide new methods to either reduce or remove pain in the patients’ injection point. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of positioning (either sitting or lying) during the installation of intravenous catheter on pain level and the following anxiety in the patients. \u0000 \u0000Instrument & Methods: In the two-blinded clinical trial study, 60 patients hospitalized in the internal wards of Arak Amir-Al-Momenin Hospital were studied in 2015. The subjects selected via available method were divided into two groups including sitting and supine groups based on the simple random allocation. The pain severity and anxiety severity indices were investigated in both groups before and after the venipuncture based on the visual analogue scale (VAS). Data was analyzed by SPSS 20 software using Chi-square, paired-T, and independent T tests. \u0000 \u0000Findings: Mean scores of anxiety before the venipuncture in both groups were not significantly different (p>0.05). Nevertheless, after the venipuncture, mean anxiety score and mean pain score in sitting group were significantly more than supine group (p=0.0001). In addition, mean scores of anxiety before and after the venipuncture in the supine group were significantly different (p=0.0001). However, no significant difference was observed between the scores before and after the venipuncture in sitting group (p>0.05). \u0000 \u0000Conclusion: During the installation of intravenous catheter, the supine position can reduce the pain level and the following anxiety in the patients compared to the sitting position. \u0000 \u0000Keywords: \u0000Anxiety ,Pain , Supine Position , Injections, Intravenous","PeriodicalId":300087,"journal":{"name":"The Horizon of Medical Sciences","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133096219","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 aim of this study was to investigate the effects of high-intensity interval and concurrent (aerobic-resistance) long-term sport courses on the blood fibrinolysis and coagulation parameters in healthy non-athlete young persons. Materials & Methods: In the semi-experimental study, 30 healthy non-athlete young men were studied in Saqez in 2014. The subjects, selected via simple available sampling method, were randomly divided into three groups including concurrent (aerobic-resistance) trainings, high-intensity interval trainings, and control groups. 8-week trainings (3 times a week) were conducted in both concurrent and high-intensity interval groups. Blood sampling was done before the first session and 30 minutes after the last training session. Data was analyzed by SPSS 19 software using dependent T, one-way ANOVA, and Tukey’s post-hoc tests. Findings: After the training intervention, the number of platelits and the fibrinogen level significantly decreased in concurrent group. In addition, prothrombin time in high-intensity interval group and the D-dimer level in both training groups significantly increased (p<0.05). The D-dimer concentrations in control and high-intensity interval groups were significantly different. In addition, the number of platelets in concurrent group was significantly different from both control and high-intensity interval groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: 8-week high-intensity interval and concurrent trainings reduce the promoter coagulation activity in the helthy non-athlete young men, while increase the fibrinolytic activity.","PeriodicalId":300087,"journal":{"name":"The Horizon of Medical Sciences","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125808919","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 aim of this study was to compare the effects of physical activities on the pulmonary functioning in 12-14 years old females in two different Kerman and Gorgan climatic conditions. Materials & Methods: In the semi-experimental study, 128 female students of the elementary schools, aged between 12 and 14 years, were studied in Kerman and Gorgan (n=64 per city) in 2013. The subjects were selected through random cluster method. The pulmonary functioning test was done before, immediately after, 7min after, and 20min after the physical activities. The peak expiratory flow (PEF), the expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), the forced vital capacity (FVC), the maximum expiratory flow at 50% of forced vital capacity (MEF50%) were measured. More than 15% reductions in FEV1 and PEF after the activities were explained as Exercise Induced Asthma. Data was analyzed by SPSS 19 software using repeated measurement of variences and Chi-square tests. Findings: There was no significant difference in either FEV1 or PEF between Kerman and Gorgan cities (p>0.05). Nevertheless, there was a significant difference in the mean FVC between the cities (p=0.001). In total, there was more pulmonary-functioning drop after the activities in Kerman than Gorgan. Conclusion: More than average severe physical activities reduces the pulmonary capacity in 12-14 years old female, which cool and dry climate leads to more drop in the pulmonary functioning after the activities, as well as the continuance of the drop, than the wet climate.","PeriodicalId":300087,"journal":{"name":"The Horizon of Medical Sciences","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127735863","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 aim of this study was to investigate the effects of oral administration of the materials on the blood glucose and the lipid per-oxidation of the liver and brain tissues in the diabetic rats. Materials & Methods: In the experimental study, 50 male Wistar rats were studied. The rats were randomly divided into five groups including control (the healthy rats), negative control (the diabetic rats), and three treatment diabetic groups. The diabetic groups received 110mg/Kg alloxan via injection to become diabetic. The treatment groups received L-Carnitine, Acetyl L-Carnetine, and LCarnetine with Acetyl L-Carnetine (300mg/Kg) as gavage for 30 days. The lipid per-oxidation, the serum glucose, the lipid profile, and the liver enzymes were measured at the end of the experiment. Data was analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey complementary test. Findings: The fasting blood concentration, triglyceride, cholesterol, creatinine, the serum liver enzymes, and the level of the liver tissue malondialdehyde significantly decreased in treatment diabetic group than diabetic group without any treatment, while HDL level increased as well (p<0.05). The brain tissue malondialdehyde and the serum HDL decreased and increased due to the administration of Acetyl L-Carnitine, respectively. Nevertheless, it affected no other parameter significantly. The positive effects of L-Carnitine were reduced by the administration of Acetyl L-Carnitin with L-Carnitine.
