This study was patients hospitalized in pediatric ward of Namazi hospital, Shiraz-IRAN, 2015. Vein finder device was applied in the intervention group while the control group receives the conventional venipuncture technique. Anxiety responses such as heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and blood oxygen saturation were assessed at 5 minutes both before and after the intravenous catheter placement procedure in both groups. Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (YPAS) was used to measure children’s anxiety scale. The data were analyzed by using paired t-test, independent t-test, and ANOVA test in SPSS software.\u0000Results: Both groups were measured after the intervention. Parametric physiologic results reveal a significant difference in heart rate (p<0.001) and respiratory rate (p: 0.002) for both groups.

Risk analysis of the control group was evaluated in line with the obtained findings.\u0000Results: Male patients diagnosed with schizophrenia were observed to have lower T3 level than that of control group (p<0.001). Vitamin B12 value and Ferritin levels of male patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder were higher than those of control group (p<0.05), while their T3 levels were lower comparing to control group (p<0.001).\u0000Female patients diagnosed with schizophrenia were observed to have higher Ferritin levels (p<0.05) and lower T3 levels comparing to control group (p<0.001). When female patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder were compared with control group, their Ferritin levels and T4 levels were observed to be higher (p<0.05).\u0000Conclusion: Unless an intervention is made by detecting vitamin deficiency, the treatment may fail with psychotropic medications. In psychotic symptoms, in addition to antipsychotic treatment, replacement of low serum vitamin level may have positive effects on recovery. Therefore, serum vitamin B12, T3, T4 and TSH hormones, and ferritin levels can be recommended to be used as routine screening tests especially in the first applications of psychiatric patients with cognitive disorders.","PeriodicalId":396928,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Medical and Educational Technologies","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125026150","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}

A control group was formed in 204 healthy individuals who had undergone abdominal computed tomography examination due to trauma. 1- and 3-year follow-up results were recorded. Cross-sectional areas of the right and left psoas muscles were calculated in axial sections passing through the level of the mid-L3 in CT images. The cases with two standard deviations under the mean of the total psoas muscle area in control group were evaluated as sarcopenic.\u0000Results: Sarcopenia was detected in 39.7% of 229 cirrhotic patients. While a statistically significant difference was detected in the Child-Pugh prognostic score between cirrhotic patients with and without sarcopenia, there was a modest difference in the MELD score. The percentage of cirrhotic patients with sarcopenia who passed during 1- and 3- year follow-ups (28.6% and 40.7%, respectively) were significantly higher than non-sarcopenic patients (9.4% and 24.6%, respectively).\u0000Conclusion: The findings obtained in this study suggest that psoas muscle atrophy shown by CT scan image at the level of the mid-L3 vertebra has predictive value for mortality in cirrhotic patients.","PeriodicalId":396928,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Medical and Educational Technologies","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131994921","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}

Sadly, the absence of symptoms in some SARS-CoV-2 carriers has impeded the success of these current interventions, and the number of COVID-19 cases continues to increase globally. Understanding the impact and pattern of transmission by presymptomatic and asymptomatic cases is crucial to the management of the disease. We aimed to review the transmission or spread of COVID-19, to provide insight into the impact of these silent spreaders, and inform public health policymaking. A systematic review of published articles was conducted. PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct were searched for articles published in the English Language from January to July 2020. A total of 20 articles were found eligible for the review based on the predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. 17 articles, of which 13 were case reports, 1 serial interval report, 2 investigational reports, and 1 modeling study, provided evidence of asymptomatic and presymptomatic transmission. 3 articles reported on the quantitative contribution of asymptomatic and presymptomatic transmission. Evidence provided in the literature is not sufficient to elucidate the impact and relative contribution of asymptomatic and presymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers on the spread of the disease. Strengthening of the current non-pharmaceutical measures or better still adoption of other innovative approaches is crucial to combating COVID-19 as far as presymptomatic and asymptomatic cases are concerned.","PeriodicalId":396928,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Medical and Educational Technologies","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127021455","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}

With the continuous rise in the number of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases such as monkeypox, it is high time we drew lessons and insights from past outbreaks to guide and effectively prepare for possible future outbreaks. Monkeypox, popularly known as the most important orthopoxvirus infection, is a viral zoonotic disease prevalent in Central and West Africa. There are 2 known genetic clades of the monkeypox virus reported so far, the Western African and the Central African clades. The human monkeypox though originated from Africa has grown to be a global concern with cases reported in the United States, United Kingdom, Israel, and Singapore. It is distinctively characterized by lymphadenopathy and systemic rash symptoms. Monkeypox has a low fatality rate (0-11%) with the highest rates occurring in children and young persons who were not part of the smallpox vaccinated population. Report suggests that consumption of bush meats could be a potential risk factor in the transmission of the infection or caring for an infected patient. Several factors have been responsible for the weak surveillance system of monkeypox including the current COVID-19 pandemic that has put more pressure on the fragile healthcare systems and infrastructures of most countries. This paper aims to guide global health policymakers on the impending danger of neglecting this disease. The discourse is concluded with the recommendation of strategies to effectively strengthen the disease surveillance system in combating this public health threat.","PeriodicalId":396928,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Medical and Educational Technologies","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127014830","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}
