Mohebi","doi":"10.29252/ARCHHYGSCI.9.1.27","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.29252/ARCHHYGSCI.9.1.27","url":null,"abstract":"Background & Aims of the Study: Acne is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by comatose lesions and cysts that can be accompanied by scarring in some cases. The physical and psychological effects of acne include deformities, scarring, depression, impaired social relationships, and discontentment. Moreover, the affected people experience social isolation, and they engage in social activities less frequently due to embarrassment and fear of being excluded from the community. Some studies reported that the prevalence of acne is 10 times higher in males, as compared to females. With this background in mind, the current study aimed to assess quality of life in patients with acne vulgaris and its consequent disabilities in Qom, 2016.Materials and MethodsThis is a cross-sectional (descriptive-analytical) study and the statistical population included acne patients who were referred to dermatological clinics in Qom. Therefore, 147 patients were selected by convenience sampling. Data collection tools were the Cardiff Acne Disability Index (CADI) and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) questionnaires.  CADI is a questionnaire which is specific for acne consisting of five questions about feelings, interference with social life, and interaction with the opposite gender, avoidance of public places, the appearance of the skin, and perceived severity of the disease over the last month. DLQI consists of 10 items covering symptoms and feelings (items 1 and 2), daily activities (items 3 and 4), leisure (items 5 and 6), work and school (item 7), personal relationships (items 8 and 9) and treatment (item 10). Data were analyzed in SPSS software (version 21) using descriptive statistics and independent t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficient. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results83% of the cases were female and 35.4% of them had a family history of acne. 26.5% of patients had less than a high school diploma degree and the average score of quality of life in acne patients was 7.32 and the mean score of acne-related disability index was reported as 5.86. The results of the statistical tests demonstrated no significant difference in the mean score of quality of life and acne-related disability in terms of gender and family history of acne (P<0.05).Moreover, the results of the ANOVA test indicated no difference in mean scores of quality of life and acne-related disability index in terms of education (P<0.05). In addition, the Pearson correlation coefficient result revealed that the relationship of age and duration of illness with the mean score of quality of life and disability index was not significant (P<0.05). Nonetheless, this test demonstrated a direct and significant relationship between the mean score of quality of life and acne-related disability (P<0.05; r = 0.73).ConclusionAs evidenced by the obtained results, there was a significant relationship between quality of life and acne-related disability (P<0.05","PeriodicalId":8299,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Hygiene Sciences","volume":"9 1","pages":"27-36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48983071","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}

These kinds of behaviors are the key factor leading to a higher risk of traffic crashes and injuries. The present study aimed to investigate the situation of some high-risk traffic behaviors and the related factors in Kashan.Materials and MethodsIn this descriptive cross-sectional study, 400 people were selected from among Kashan population by convenience sampling method. The self-reporting questionnaire consisted of two parts: demographic information (e.g., gender, age, marital status, level of education of the person and parents, and family income) and the number of traffic violations (e.g., paid fines, running red lights, parking prohibited in specified places, as well as unauthorized overtaking and speeding).Data were analyzed in SPSS software (version 16) using descriptive statistics (e.g., frequency distribution, central and dispersion indices) and inferential statistics (e.g., independent t-test, analysis of variance, and chi-square).ResultsThe current study was conducted on 400 drivers who were selected from among Kashan population (314 men and 86 women) with the mean age of 38.15±10.29. The obtained results indicated that women were safer drivers. Moreover, it was found that people in older age groups committed fewer violations. In addition, the frequency of unauthorized speeding and overtaking was significantly higher among single people, as compared to the married ones. Regarding educational level, the frequency of unauthorized parking and overtaking was higher among the people with higher levels of education. Moreover, the frequency of unauthorized speeding was significantly higher among those with higher family income (P<0.05).ConclusionBased on the results of the present study and the relationship between demographic variables and risky traffic behaviors, it is suggested that the general public be trained on driving principles and regulations with respect to their age and educational level.  In addition, the implementation of appropriate measures for the prevention of road accidents and injuries is recommended.","PeriodicalId":8299,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Hygiene Sciences","volume":"9 1","pages":"69-76"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47626695","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}

It is generally regarded as the superb frying and cooking oil. During storage, ghee undergoes oxidative degradation, the extent of which relies on the storage temperature (i.e., controlling factor for liquid or solid-state ghee), ghee texture (i.e., solid or liquid state), and oxygen availability (i.e., packaging type). Through the reduction of consumption suitability and product’s shelf life, oxidative degradation deteriorates ghee′s flavor, color, aroma, and nutritive value (1–4). The human consumption of oxidized oils and fats could induce heart diseases, cancer, and early aging. Using antioxidants is the best way for the stabilization of oils, prevention of lipid oxidation, and preservation of herbal oils from being oxidized by free radicals (5). Antioxidants have important roles in impeding the lipid oxidation reactions of food products. The results of lipid oxidation include the formation of undesirable flavors and unstable chemical compounds (6).
