Comparing Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Nursing Support in Mothers With Newborn Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) and Mothers of Healthy Neonates

Background: The experience of having neonates in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a psychological crisis. It might cause many emotional problems for parents. Entire parental support is among the duties of the healthcare team. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the nursing support received by the mothers with Newborn Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) and the mothers of other neonates admitted to the NICU.Methods: The present cross-sectional descriptive-analytic study was conducted in the selected hospitals in Kerman Province, Iran. In total, 62 mothers with NAS and 61 non-addicted mothers with neonates admitted to the NICU were selected through convenience sampling method. The inclusion criteria were neonates under the care of parents, neonate admitted to the NICU for at least 24 hours, opiate dependence in the case group mothers, and no substance dependence in the control group mothers. The amount of nursing support for mothers having neonates with NAS was compared with that of the control mothers. The study groups were homogenized in terms of the study variables (neonate age, gender, and the duration of hospitalization). The required data were collected by the Nurse-Parent Support Tool (NPST) and analyzed in SPSS.Results: The study results revealed that among the neonates of 123 mothers, 75 (60.97%) were boys, and 58(39.02%) were girls. The majority of neonates in both groups were breastfed. The Mean±SD age of the mothers in the case and control group were 31.93±7.25 and 28.99±4.36 years, respectively. The nursing support level was desirable in both groups, and no significant difference was found in this regard (P>0.05). Furthermore, the level of nursing support in emotional, information-communication, self-esteem, and quality caregiving support dimensions was desirable in both groups.Conclusion: The obtained results revealed that nurses’ support was desirable in both groups. The prevalence of maternal addiction and the impact of this social harm on neonates who were admitted are essential. Furthermore, families having neonates with NAS need more support from the healthcare staff and nurses, in comparison with healthy parents; thus, the importance of this issue should be addressed in training and briefing courses for nurses

Evaluation of tubotympanic angle of Eustachian tube and its relationship with Eustachian tube function in patients with chronic middle ear infection

Background: chronic otitis media is characterized by the accumulation of fluid in the middle ear and behind the tympanic membrane without signs of acute infection. The association between a middle ear infection and anatomical and physiological disorders of the Eustachian tube has been reported in several studies and its malfunction is one of the main causes of middle ear infection.  Aim: We aim to find the relation of tubotympanic angle of Eustachian tube and chromic otitis media.  Methods: In this study, 100 patients with chronic unilateral middle ear infections were included. To determine the tubotympanic angle of the Eustachian tube, a temporal bone CT scan was used in the radiology department of Loghman Hospital. Eustachian tube angle and ear function were recorded. Results: Among the 100 patients in the study, 42 were men and 58 were women. The mean age of patients in the study was 39.64±12.64 years. The angle was 3.79 ± 34.27 in the healthy ear and 2.43 ± 31.06 in the diseased ear, which showed a statistically significant difference between the two groups  Conclusion: Eustachian tube angles in adults may play an important role in the cause of chronic otitis media. In this study, it was found that the horizontalization of the Eustachian tube is associated with chronic otitis media. Besides, determining the angle of the Eustachian tube can help determine the susceptibility to otitis media.&nbsp

Investigating Relationship between Talent Management and Human Resource Productivity with the Mediation Role of Organizational Creativity in ABFA

The talented and capable Human Resource is the main competitive advantage for any organization, and in the light of this competitive advantage, deficiencies and shortcomings of other resources will also be compensated. Hence, studying how the three variables of Talent Management, Human Resource Productivity, and Organizational Creativity can affect each other in any organization can reveal the latent potentials of Human Resources. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between Talent Management and Human Resource Productivity, considering the mediating role of Organizational Creativity in Shiraz Water Company (Known as ABFA). The statistical population of this study includes 130 experts and managers of ABFA. According to Cochran formula, 97 research sample was calculated, who filled out the questionnaires. Questionnaire was the main tool for data collection and measurement of research variables and Cronbach’s Alpha was used to determine the reliability of the variables. In addition, SPSS and LISREL were used for data analysis. As a result, the relationship between Talent Management and Productivity, as well as the relationship between Organizational Creativity and Productivity, was positive, but the relationship between Talent Management and Organizational Creativity was only positive at the graduated level (MA and PhD experts and managers). Given these relationships, it can be concluded that the Organizational Creativity (as a mediating variable) can have a positive impact on the relationship between the two other variables at Shiraz Water Company

Health complaints in individual visiting primary health care: population-based national electronic health records of Iran.

BACKGROUND The mission of medical schools is a sustainable commitment to orient education, research, and services based on the priorities and expectations of society. The most common complaints of patients from comprehensive health service centers (CHSCs) based on the data from electronic health records were assessed in order to determine primary health care (PHC) priorities for the educational planning of medical students in Iran. METHODS A population-based national study was designed to assess clinical complaints of patients in all age groups who were referred to CHSCs at least once to be visited by physicians. All the data in the census were extracted from electronic health records in PHC system during 2015-2020, classified by the International Classification of Primary Care 2nd edition (ICPC-2e-English), and statistically analyzed. The total number of complaints that were recorded in the system was 17,430,139. RESULTS 59% of the referring patients were women. The highest number of referrals was related to the age group of 18-59 years (56.9%), while the lowest belonged to the elderly people (13.3%). In all age and sex groups, the first ten complaints of patients with three top priorities in each category included process (follow-up, consultation, and results exam), digestive (toothache and gum complaint, abdominal pain, and diarrhea), respiratory (cough, sore throat, and runny nose), general (fever, pain, and weakness and fatigue), musculoskeletal (back pain, leg complaint, and knee injuries), endocrine and nutritional (weight gain, Feeding problem, and weight loss), cardiovascular (hypertension, palpitations, and Postural hypotension), neurological (headache, dizziness, and paralysis), sexual dysfunction (vaginal complaint, discharge, and irregular menstruation), and dermatological (pruritus, rash, and inflammation) problems. CONCLUSION High priorities in referring to PHC had a key role in assessing the country's health needs. Since this study was in line with the national pattern of complaints and patients' profile, the present findings can be helpful to amend policy-making, educational planning and curricula development in medical schools

The Incidence of Common Complications, Including Ectropion and Entropion, in Transconjunctival and Subciliary Approaches for Treatment of ZMC Fractures

Statement of the Problem: Treating zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures (ZMC Fx) can result in postoperative complications that should be minimized by choosing the best surgical approach. Purpose: This study compared incidence rates of some common postoperative complications with emphasis on ectropion (an outward curling of the lower eyelid) and entropion (an inward curling of the lower eyelid) occurring with transconjunctival or subciliary approaches for the treatment of ZMC fractures. Materials and Method: This prospective study enrolled 80 patients with ZMC Fx who had been surgically treated. Patients were visited within one month and five months postoperatively by the same surgeon. An information checklist was completed for each patient for clinical assessment of postoperative complications. Results: There was no significant difference between the two groups in the type of trauma (simple or comminuted) (p= 0.1) or the frequency of ectropion and entropion one month and five months postoperatively (p> 0.05). The same results were observed for history of massage under the eye or around the field of surgery (p= 0.151), scleral show (p= 0.414), history of post-surgical epiphora (overflow of tears and accumulation of tear) (p= 0.059), duration of the use of suspension/frost sutures (used to prevent eyelid distortion secondary to wound injury applied at the skin inferior to the incision to help elevate the lid) (p= 0.057), and the use of porex (an alloplastic material over the defect in the orbital floor) (p= 0.91). Conclusion: There was no significant difference between the transconjunctival approach and the subciliary approach in terms of common postoperative complications such as ectropion and entropion

Listeria monocytogenes Contamination in Unpasteurized Traditional Cheese Products in Qazvin, Iran

Background and purpose: Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen and a pothential risk to public health. Listeriosis is one of the most serious infectious diseases in most developed countries . Consumption of raw milk and unpasteurized traditional dairy products such as cheese can be a major reason for listeriosis in humans. This reaserch aimed at investigating Listeria monocytogenes contamination in unpasteurized cheese products by using culture and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) in Qazvin, Iran. Materials and methods: In this research, 128 samples of traditional cheese products were collected from different traditional shopping centers in Qazvin, between October 2017 and September 2018. They were transported to the laboratory under controlled conditions. All isolates were analysed to biochemical test. L. monocytogenes strains were further confirmed by PCR amplification. Results: Findings showed that 14 samples (10.9%) were contaminated with L. monocytogenes. The highest prevalence of L. monocytogenes was found in white cheese samples (7%). The highest rate of contamination was reported in spring and winter (3.1%). Conclusion: Listeria contamination in cheese samples studied can pose a serious risk to consumers of non-pasteurized dairy products. Therefore, food safety and health practitioners should apply effective methods and standards

Investigation of Contamination of Brucella melitensis in traditional cheese produced in Qazvin in 2017-2018

Background and Aim : Brucella melitensis is one of the Important foodborne microorganisms . Especially in dairy products such as traditional cheeses. These microorganisms cause fever, sweating, headache, back pain and weakness. cheese such as milk is a nutrient-free product for the human and source of protein and calcium, The approximate amount of cheese production in Iran is 100,000 tons and based on the latest statistics, per capita consumer of 34 kg, and the traditional Iranian cheese is one of the most consumer milk fermented products in Iran, and depending on how it is proven to be different in different areas, sensory, physicochemical and microbial features are different. This research was aimed to Investigation of Contamination of brucella meletensis in traditional cheese produced in Qazvin in 2017-2018 Material and Methods : In this descriptive and analytical study, From october 2017 to september 2018, a total of 112 samples of traditional cheese were collected from different places in Qazvin. After collectimg the samples,they were transported to the laboratory. All isolates were subjected to biochemical test.Brucella melitensis strains were further confirmed by PCR amplification.Date were analyzed using Chi- square test and Fishers exact test. Statistical difference was considered significant (P<0/05). Results: Of the 112 samples with standard culture methods were studied, 14 sample (12/5%) were positive, and looking at the reviews with positive samples from 14 molecular with culture, 7 samples (6/25%) reported a positive real. the most pollution in the white cheeses (5/35%) Was seen. It is also the most pollution in autumn(1/7 %) and winter(3/5 %) Was reported. Conclusion: With regard to the pollution of the sample reviewed, pay attention to the safety and health of the traditional cheese production centers as well as to the prevention of the supply of the required subjects, it seems. As well as the use of molecular techniques to identify food microorganisms in terms of spending the time and money, and most importantly the accuracy of these methods, can be a good alternative to the slew of molecular methods.

Global, regional, and national burden of neurological disorders, 1990–2016 : a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016

Background: Neurological disorders are increasingly recognised as major causes of death and disability worldwide. The aim of this analysis from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2016 is to provide the most comprehensive and up-to-date estimates of the global, regional, and national burden from neurological disorders. Methods: We estimated prevalence, incidence, deaths, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs; the sum of years of life lost [YLLs] and years lived with disability [YLDs]) by age and sex for 15 neurological disorder categories (tetanus, meningitis, encephalitis, stroke, brain and other CNS cancers, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, motor neuron diseases, idiopathic epilepsy, migraine, tension-type headache, and a residual category for other less common neurological disorders) in 195 countries from 1990 to 2016. DisMod-MR 2.1, a Bayesian meta-regression tool, was the main method of estimation of prevalence and incidence, and the Cause of Death Ensemble model (CODEm) was used for mortality estimation. We quantified the contribution of 84 risks and combinations of risk to the disease estimates for the 15 neurological disorder categories using the GBD comparative risk assessment approach. Findings: Globally, in 2016, neurological disorders were the leading cause of DALYs (276 million [95% UI 247–308]) and second leading cause of deaths (9·0 million [8·8–9·4]). The absolute number of deaths and DALYs from all neurological disorders combined increased (deaths by 39% [34–44] and DALYs by 15% [9–21]) whereas their age-standardised rates decreased (deaths by 28% [26–30] and DALYs by 27% [24–31]) between 1990 and 2016. The only neurological disorders that had a decrease in rates and absolute numbers of deaths and DALYs were tetanus, meningitis, and encephalitis. The four largest contributors of neurological DALYs were stroke (42·2% [38·6–46·1]), migraine (16·3% [11·7–20·8]), Alzheimer's and other dementias (10·4% [9·0–12·1]), and meningitis (7·9% [6·6–10·4]). For the combined neurological disorders, age-standardised DALY rates were significantly higher in males than in females (male-to-female ratio 1·12 [1·05–1·20]), but migraine, multiple sclerosis, and tension-type headache were more common and caused more burden in females, with male-to-female ratios of less than 0·7. The 84 risks quantified in GBD explain less than 10% of neurological disorder DALY burdens, except stroke, for which 88·8% (86·5–90·9) of DALYs are attributable to risk factors, and to a lesser extent Alzheimer's disease and other dementias (22·3% [11·8–35·1] of DALYs are risk attributable) and idiopathic epilepsy (14·1% [10·8–17·5] of DALYs are risk attributable). Interpretation: Globally, the burden of neurological disorders, as measured by the absolute number of DALYs, continues to increase. As populations are growing and ageing, and the prevalence of major disabling neurological disorders steeply increases with age, governments will face increasing demand for treatment, rehabilitation, and support services for neurological disorders. The scarcity of established modifiable risks for most of the neurological burden demonstrates that new knowledge is required to develop effective prevention and treatment strategies.
