Mental health status of the parents of children with chronic disabilities has a considerable impact on welfare and development of their children. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence and quality of life in mothers of children with autism. Methods: In this descriptive analytic study, 50 mothers of children with autism, with the mean age of 33.9 years (SD = 6.8), referred to autism clinics in Tehran, were selected using convenience sampling method. Health-related quality of life was assessed using the Iranian version of the short-form health survey (SF-36) and the emotional intelligence was measured by the Iranian version of H-Wesinger emotional intelligence inventory. Results: Given the findings, there was a significant correlation between the scores of quality of life and the emotional intelligence (r = 0.304, P = 0.032). Also, there existed a significant correlation between the subscale tests in the physical performance (r = 0.286, P = 0.044) and the Mental health (r = 0.293, P = 0.032). Conclusions: The current study showed that the quality of life in mothers of children with ASD could be affected by emotional intelligence and the increased emotional intelligence is a factor to promote the quality of life. In addition, there is a positive relationship between emotional intelligence, mental health, and physical performance. High emotional intelligence is effective in improving the status of these 2 areas.","PeriodicalId":36354,"journal":{"name":"Middle East Journal of Rehabilitation and Health","volume":"503 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41284376","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}

ApoAI protein plays an important role in lipoprotein metabolism. In this study, the association between MspI polymorphisms in the promoter (G-75A) and ﬁrst intron (C83T) of the apoAI gene and hyperlipidemia was investigated in Semnan, Iran. Methods: A total of 151 unrelated subjects were divided into two groups: the hyperlipidemic (N = 75) and control (N = 76) groups. Genotyping was carried out by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Results: In the hyperlipidemic group, the frequency of the (+-) variant of the MspI (C83T) locus was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Signiﬁcant diﬀerences were found in serum HDL-C and apoAI levels between diﬀerent genotypes of MspI (C83T) (P < 0.001 and P = 0.02, respectively). In the hyperlipidemic group, the odds ratios for the (+-) and (–) genotypes of the MspI (C83T) locus in comparison to that for the (++) genotype were 0.26 (P= 0.023) and 3.62 (P = 0.254), respectively. The allelic frequency at the (G-75A) locus was not signiﬁcantly diﬀerent in the hyperlipidemic and control groups (P = 0.36). The serum levels of lipid and lipoprotein were not signiﬁcantly diﬀerent for all genotypes of MspI (G-75A). The AA/++ and GG/– haplotypes had the lowest and highest apoB/apoAI ratios, respectively (0.73 ± 0.03 vs. 1.9).

Because of the distal perfusion of the bone, there is a great chance to present complications such as avascular necrosis, delayed union of the fracture and subsequently, early osteoarthritis (up to 32%). For those reasons, the treatment of scaphoid fractures remains a challenge. Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) have been used for decades as an alternative option in delayed bone healing fractures with good results. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are scarce reports, if any, on scaphoid fractures. The objective of this case report was to show delayed union fracture as a common complication of scaphoid fracture and to postulate PEMF as an effective treatment option for such a condition, reflected by our clinical and radiological evaluations and supported by a thorough review of the literature. The patient received 20 sessions of PEMF, using the QS Magneto therapy device®, with a dose of 20Hz-50Gauss-20 minutes, 5 times a week for 4 weeks. PEMF could recover delayed nonunion of scaphoid fracture and decreased pain as evaluated clinically and radiologically in our case report.","PeriodicalId":36354,"journal":{"name":"Middle East Journal of Rehabilitation and Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49367674","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}

This study was designed to investigate the eﬀects of the diﬀerent exposure intensity of the low frequency electromagnetic ﬁelds on the liver tissue. Methods: Adult male Wistar rats (n = 30) were randomly allocated in one of the experimental groups including; group A, exposure to 0.5 millitesla (mT) for 2-week (n = 5); group B, exposure to 0.5 mT for 4-week (n = 5); group C, control without radiation (n = 5); groupD,exposureto1mTfor2-week(n=5);groupE,exposureto1mTfor4-week(n=5);andgroupF,shamgroup(n=5). Attheend of the experiment, their liver tissue was dissected and clinically assessed by a pathologist. Results: Our results show that for 1 month of exposure at 1 mT, focal hepatocitolysis and mild to moderate portal inﬂammation is visible and for 2 weeks exposure at this ﬂux density, apoptosis and hepatocyte inﬂammation has occurred. However, for the groups exposed to 0.5 mT, 1 month exposure has caused hepatocyte focal inﬂammation, parenchymal hepatocitolysis, and focal apoptosis while, the exposure for 2 weeks did not aﬀect the liver tissue. Conclusion: Exposure to ELF-EMF at the occupational limit cannot lead to irreversible changes and its eﬀects on cells are enough below moderate changes. At the ﬂux density of 1 mT, eﬀects are moderate and irreversible and they are spread in larger areas than the lower ﬂux density of 0.5 mT. Exposure time correlates with the level of stress on the cells; therefore, for a halftime exposure at occupational level, there exist no changes relative to the control group while for the fulltime exposure, some adverse eﬀects were visible.","PeriodicalId":36354,"journal":{"name":"Middle East Journal of Rehabilitation and Health","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71288552","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}

Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 118 nurses working at FayazBakhsh and Imam Reza hospitals. Situational anxiety was assessed via Persian version of Spiel Berger anxiety inventory questionnaire (SAIQ) consisting of 20 multiple-choice items based on the Likert Scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS16. Results: 64.4% of the participants were female and 80.5% were married. 66% of them had children. The mean age and standard deviation were 35.75 ± 5.18 and the work experience was 11.31 ± 5.02. 17.8% of the nurses were suffering from low anxiety, 71.18% had moderate or higher than moderate anxiety, and 11.02% had relatively severe or severe anxiety.
