However, it's important to note that findings in this area have been inconsistent. Objectives: This study was done to assess the impact of modafinil on improving negative symptoms in schizophrenia patients. Methods: In this clinical trial, 40 individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia and referred to Golestan Hospital were selected. Patients received a daily dose of 100 to 200 mg of modafinil in addition to their ongoing antipsychotic treatment with either Risperidone or Olanzapine. In the control group, patients received a placebo along with their prescribed antipsychotic therapy. The duration of the follow-up was 4 weeks. Both the evaluator and the patients were blinded to the administered medication. The Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS) was utilized to measure negative symptoms before the intervention, and at 2 and 4 weeks following the intervention. Results: The mean age of participants in the intervention and control groups was 34.00 ± 6.60 and 36.90 ± 6.88 years, respectively. 2 weeks after the intervention, the average SANS score was lower in the intervention group compared to the placebo group (99.70 ± 10.24 vs. 111.24 ± 7.08, P = 0.04). At 4 weeks post-intervention, the average SANS score in the intervention group was significantly reduced compared to the placebo group (84.39 ± 3.54 vs. 113.79 ± 3.75, P = 0.002). Conclusions: This study suggests that modafinil may be an effective adjunctive therapy for schizophrenia, particularly for treating anhedonia symptoms.","PeriodicalId":471457,"journal":{"name":"Jundishapur Journal of Chronic Disease Care","volume":"10 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140244859","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}

Markov decision process (MDP) and partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) models were the mathematical tools applied in studies, including sequential decision-making such as screening protocols for medical decision-making. Objectives: The main goal of this study was to investigate optimal policy for cancer screening using MDP and POMDP models. Methods: We performed a review of articles published within July 2000 to November 2022 in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. The stopping age, the type of optimal strategy, the benefits of the optimal policy, and the relationship between age and risk threshold were extracted. Studies that did not use MDPs and POMDPs as the mathematical maximization models in cancer screening, review articles, editorials or commentaries, non-English articles, and those that did not focus on optimization were excluded. Results: From 532 articles, 6 studies met the study criteria. All studies suggested that the optimal policy was control-limit, and the cancer risk threshold was a non-decreasing function of age. Three studies specified a stopping age for cancer screening. In five studies, the optimal policies outperformed the guidelines or no screening strategy. Conclusions: Two essential factors in screening decisions were cancer risk and age, which were individual variables. The control-limit policy included these factors in decision-making for cancer screening. These policies highlighted personalized screening and showed that this type of screening could outperform cancer screening guidelines regarding economic and clinical benefits.","PeriodicalId":471457,"journal":{"name":"Jundishapur Journal of Chronic Disease Care","volume":"9 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140247779","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}

Objectives: This study aimed to explore the relationship between perceived stigma and coping strategies among MS patients. Methods: Conducted from December 2019 to June 2020, this cross-sectional and correlational study involved 100 MS patients. Participants were recruited from a neurologic clinic in Qazvin, Iran, using convenience sampling. Data collection employed the Lazarus Coping Strategies Questionnaire and the Korean version of the Stigma Scale for Chronic Illness 8-item (SSCI-8). Patients completed these questionnaires at the clinic. Data analysis utilized Pearson’s and Spearman’s correlation coefficients. Results: The average age of participants was 35.93 ± 7.20 years. Mean scores for internal and external stigmas were 6.47 ± 2.03 and 8.73 ± 3.48, respectively. Problem-focused strategies were most commonly used by MS patients. Pearson correlations revealed a significant positive relationship between internal stigma and escape-avoidance (r = 0.391, P < 0.000), seeking social support (r = 0.215, P = 0.031), confronting (r = 0.240, P = 0.016), and self-controlling strategies (r = 0.222, P = 0.026). Significant associations were also noted between external stigma and escape avoidance (r = 0.322, P = 0.001) and confronting strategies (r = 0.240, P = 0.016). Inverse correlations were found between educational level and internal stigma (r = -0.273, P = 0.006) and between MS duration and external stigma (r = -0.296, P = 0.003). Conclusions: Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients experiencing higher levels of stigma tended to use more negative coping strategies. Implementing programs to reduce stigma and promote effective coping strategies may enhance the physical and psychological well-being of these patients.","PeriodicalId":471457,"journal":{"name":"Jundishapur Journal of Chronic Disease Care","volume":"66 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140261298","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}

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the levels of thyroid hormones in individuals affected by COVID-19 infection in Ahvaz, Iran. Methods: This was a comparative cross-sectional study on 78 patients with COVID-19 infection and 80 individuals without infection. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (TT3), and tetraiodothyronine (TT4) were measured in hospitalized patients at baseline and one month after recovery and in participants without infection. The data were analyzed using a paired t-test, the Chi-square test, the Wilcoxon test, and the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Results: The level of TSH at baseline in the hospitalized patients was significantly lower than that in the control group (1.24 ± 1.08 vs. 2.05 ± 1.02 mlU/L, respectively, P < 0.0001). The mean level of TT3 was 1.20 ± 0.24 and 1.28 ± 1.25 ng/dL in the case and control groups, respectively (P = 0.188). The level of TT4 in the case group was high at baseline in comparison to the control group (8.48 ± 2.27 vs. 7.76 ± 1.43 ng/dL, P = 0.076), which was reduced in the follow-up period. Thirty-five (44.8%) patients had severe disease and were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). The level of TSH was non-significantly lower in patients with severe disease than those with moderate disease. Conclusions: Patients with COVID-19 infection showed abnormalities in thyroid hormones, such as decreased levels of TSH and TT3. Patients with severe COVID-19 showed lower levels of TSH and unchanged levels of TT3 and TT4 in comparison to the patients with moderate disease.

Insufficient knowledge of risk factors and poor attitude and practice toward screening have caused patients to notice it in the final stages of the disease. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the knowledge, attitude, and practice levels of a sample of medical sciences students and to explore the predictors of their practice regarding gastric cancer prevention. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted within 2021 to 2022 with 558 medical sciences students. The census method was used to select the samples. The data were collected with a demographic information questionnaire, a knowledge questionnaire about signs and symptoms, risk factors, management, and prevention of gastric cancer developed by Ghanaei in Iran, and a researcher-made questionnaire of attitude and practice. Results: The mean values of the knowledge, attitude, and practice were 19.80 ± 4.92, 69.39 ± 7.57, and 40.68 ± 4.17, respectively. There was a significant positive correlation between the practice with knowledge (r = 0.15, P < 0.001) and attitude (r = 0.21, P < 0.001) and between knowledge and attitude (r = 0.59, P < 0.001). The regression model showed that the levels of the overall attitude (β = 0.167, P < 0.001) and knowledge of prevention (β = 0.102, P = 0.032) were significantly associated with the practice of medical sciences students.

Serum levels of zinc, selenium, iron, T3, T4, and TSH were measured. The correlation of qualitative variables was examined using the chi-square test, and the correlation of quantitative variables was examined using Spearman's correlation analysis. The t-test was used to compare the means in two different groups with the standard value. The generalized estimating equation (GEE) test was used to investigate the effect of time and compare the two groups. Statistical analysis of the data was performed in SPSS v. 22. Results: The levels of iron, zinc, selenium, and thyroid hormones changed during the examined days, but these changes were not statistically significant. The amount of the analyzed elements in some cases was lower than their standard serum average, but this difference was significant only for selenium. Besides, there was no significant relationship between iron, zinc, T3, TSH, and the length of stay at the ICU; this relationship was positive and significant only for T4.
