Considering the side effects of chemical drugs, researchers are looking for alternative and complementary methods such as herbal treatments. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the tea of pistaciakhinjuk plant on the indicators of metabolic control and the quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes. \u0000Methods: On total, 72 patients with type 2 diabetes were randomly divided into 2 groups, intervention and control. The intervention group consumed 240 cc of pistaciakhinjuk leaf tea daily after breakfast and dinner for one month. The control group continued their usual treatment process. Data collection was done with Jacobsen's questionnaire measuring the quality of life in diabetes patients and data analysis was done using descriptive and inferential statistics methods. \u0000Results: The independent t-test and also the analysis of variance test with repeated observations showed that the average score of metabolic indicators and quality of life one month and three months after the intervention in the test group was significantly lower than the control group (p value < 0.05). \u0000Conclusion: The results showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the experimental group before and after the intervention.

In the current study, we investigated diagnostic value of fetal heart echocardiography for CHDs diagnosis while postnatal echocardiography was considered as Gold standard. Additionally, maternal and perinatal outcomes were evaluated. \u0000Methods: In this prospective Cohort study, 400 high risk pregnant women with regards to carrying a fetus with CHDs underwent fetal echocardiography during pre and postnatal period and maternal, fetal and neonatal outcomes were followed. Moreover, diagnostic value of fetal echocardiography for predicting CHDs was calculated. \u0000Results: Among 400 fetal echocardiographies done, CHDs was found in 63 fetuses and consequently postnatal echocardiography confirmed the diagnosis in 52 (82.53%) of them. The most common CHDs were atrial and ventricular septal defects (ASD and/or VSD). Although there were no association between presence of CHDs with consanguineous marriage, maternal age, maternal body mass index, smoking, pregnancy complications, fetal weight, gestational age, neonatal gender, and associated anomalies, the first and fifth Apgar Scores were significantly lower in neonates with CHDs on postnatal echocardiography. \u0000Conclusion: Second trimester fetal echocardiography, especially among high risk mothers has high diagnostic value for fetal CHDs diagnosis. This Imaging technique can lessen postnatal complications by facilitating early diagnosis and subsequent planned delivery in a proper well-equipped center.","PeriodicalId":410018,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Zabol Medical School","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130462109","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}
