Materials and Methods: The present study was quasi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design and two experimental groups and one control group. A total of 30 students with intellectual disabilities between 8-11 years were selected as a statistical sample using the available sampling method and then randomly divided into three groups: motor-working memory training, perceptual-motor activities, and control group. The experimental groups participated in a 16-session training course for two months (two sessions per week) according to specific protocols. Subtests of digit span and letter-number sequencing of the fourth edition of Wechsler intelligence were used to measure working memory. Data were analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVA, one-way ANOVA , Kruskal–Wallis and Friedman in SPSS software (version 24). Results: The results indicated a significant difference in subtests of digit span of direct, total digit span, and letter-number sequencing between motor-working memory training, and perceptual-motor exercises with the control group (P > 0.05). However, no significant difference was observed between perceptual-motor activities and motor-working training groups (P < 0.05).

Therefore, the present study aimed to compare echocardiographic parameters in the study of right ventricular failure in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Materials and Methods: In the present descriptive cross-sectional study, data were collected from 100 patients with pulmonary hypertension referred to Farshchian Heart Hospital, Hamadan, Iran between 2017-2019. The cases were detected by two-dimensional echocardiography and tissue Doppler and divided into three groups based on blood pressure of the pulmonary artery. The parameters of PASP, PVR, Tei Index, FAC, IVA, TAPSE, and DTI S Velocity were calculated for each patient. Results: Out of 100 patients with a mean age of 52. 95 ±16. 62 years, 0. 46% had lung problems. The parameters of PASP, PVR, and Tei Index were positively and significantly correlated with each other. Also, a positive and significant relationship was observed between the parameters of FAC, IVA, TAPSE, and DTI S Velocity. However, the parameters of the first and second groups were negatively and significantly related to each other. The results indicated that the mean difference of all indicators was significant between different groups of pulmonary hypertension. The parameter of PVR parameter was one of the factors affecting pulmonary hypertension based on regression analysis. Also, IVA and Tei Index were more consistent with pulmonary hypertension in terms of abnormal values. Conclusion: PVR, IVA, and Tei Index were effective parameters for evaluating the right ventricular function and more attention is recommended to be paid to these parameters.","PeriodicalId":52678,"journal":{"name":"pzshkhy blyny bn syn","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44636489","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}

Therefore, this study was performed to evaluate the injuries associated with Hoffa’s fat pad injury in knee trauma using the diagnostic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) method. Materials and Methods: The samples of this cross-sectional study (n=98) were selected using the available sampling method from patients with knee trauma referring to the imaging ward of Besat Hospital in Hamadan, Iran, for knee MRI from mid-April 2020 to mid-May 2021. The participants were examined in terms of the types of injuries associated with Hoffa’s fat pad damage. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 23). Results: The mean age of the patients was obtained at 33.13±10.11 years, and 85.7% of the cases were male. Based on the results, Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) rupture (77.6%), bone marrow edema (71.4%), effusion (61.2%), periarticular edema (55.1%), and meniscus rupture (38.8%) were the most injuries associated with Hoffa’s fat pad injury. There was no significant difference between the genders of patients and Hoffa's fat pad injury, including periarticular edema, ACL rupture, posterior cruciate ligament rupture, and collateral ligament rupture following knee trauma. However, the frequency of meniscus rupture was significantly higher in women than in men (P=0.007). Moreover, patients with ACL rupture had a significantly higher mean age than patients without ACL rupture (P=0.047).

The importance of using serological diagnostic tests such as IgG-avidity assay which can distinguish between recent and past infections has been proven. The present study aimed to diagnose acute toxoplasmosis in the first trimester of pregnancy using IgG-avidity testing. Materials and Methods: The present descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Hamadan, Iran in 2019. A total of 340 blood samples were collected from pregnant women in the first trimester of pregnancy and stored at -70 °C until experimenting. The IgG antibody titer was then determined. Also, IgM and IgG-avidity titers were measured for those samples with a positive IgG titer. Results: Out of 340 pregnant women, 106 (31.2%) had a positive and 2 (0.6%) had a suspected IgM test. Of the 106 pregnant mothers with positive IgG, 6 (5.66%) had low IgG-avidity indicating recent infection of toxoplasmosis in the past 3 to 4 months. IgG-avidity titer was moderate in 10 patients (9.43%) and high in 90 patients (84.9%). Conclusion: Using the IgG-avidity test and its improved methods along with other serological and molecular methods can be effective in determining and differentiating acute toxoplasmosis in pregnant women, especially in the first trimester of pregnancy, and preventing its irreversible complications in the fetus.","PeriodicalId":52678,"journal":{"name":"pzshkhy blyny bn syn","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43846170","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}

Also, conflict of interest is not inherently immoral; however, the way to deal with these conflicts is a matter of professional ethics. Materials and Methods: The present qualitative study was conducted at Hamadan University of Medical Sciences, Hamadan, Iran during the spring and summer of 2019. Samples were selected from the clinical professors of the university using purposive sampling until informational redundancy or saturation was achieved. Research data was obtained through face-to-face interviews with the professors and were analyzed using the method of Elo and Kyngas. Results: Three main categories of conflict of interest in research, education, and treatment as well as 19 themes were extracted from 16 interviews. In the present study, 10 professors had a clear definition of the conflict of interest in all three categories and the other 6 fail to provide a comprehensive one. Conclusion: The issue of conflict of interest and its implications in various fields should be seriously introduced to medical students, physicians, and researchers due to its widespread and destructive effects. Also, a framework is suggested to be provided to clarify the importance and increase awareness of the subject and explain comprehensive and operational rules for dealing with its potential adverse effects.

The first and second formant of each of the six vowels were obtained separately by Praat software and compared between the two groups. Results: There was a significant difference between deaf children and those with cochlear implants in the mean of the first and second formant of the /o/, as well as the mean of the first formant of the /i /, /a/, and /e / (P<0.05). Other vowel formants of the / æ / and /u/ displayed no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05).
