Study of the relationship between urban morphology indicators and noise pollution in District three of Tabriz city (Manzariyeh and Emamiyeh neighborhoods)

The main purpose of this study is to study the relationship between urban morphology and noise pollution in the three regions of Tabriz (Imamiyeh and Manzaria neighborhoods). Data collection From the study area, audio data were collected in 45 shifts in the morning (7 to 10) and night (19 to 22) at 45 points in the study area. Audio data was collected using the Decibel X application. The results show that the average sound in the morning is 87.06 dB and the standard deviation is 10.16. Also, the average sound in the night interval is equal to 90.08 decibels and the standard deviation is 9.28. It is observed that the average of both mentioned intervals is higher than the standard. Based on the analysis of the average sound by the user, the terminal with the average sound of 95.52 decibels and the standard deviation of 2.94 had the highest average sound during the day. In the night interval, the terminal with the average sound of 95.81 decibels and the standard deviation of 3.43 has the highest average sound. Also, based on the standards presented in the section on theoretical foundations, it is observed that all applications are higher than the standard sound level. Wilcoxon test was also significant at the level of 0.000 which showed that the average sound in the study range for morning and night is higher than the standard 75 decibels

Demographic features of pediatric patients with burn injuries referred to the emergency department of Sina hospital in Tabriz, Iran, in 2014

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the demographic status of children with burn injuries who were referred to the emergency department of the Sina hospital in Tabriz, Iran, in 2014. Methods: Total of 220 pediatric patients with burn injuries, who referred to the emergency department of Sina hospital, were enrolled in this prospective descriptive study. Data such as age, gender, type of injury, location of injury, and severity of burns was collected, and analyzed using SPSS statistical software. Results: Most patients were the first children of their families (61.8%). Two-year-old children had a higher incidence of burn injuries (33.2%). Most of the burns (94.5%) occurred at home. The most common cause of injury was hot liquids (74.5%). The position of the burn injuries in most patients was the upper extremities (47.3%) and second-degree burn severity was more frequent (70.5%). There were no significant statistical differences between the two genders regarding cause, severity, percentage, and anatomical area of the burn.Conclusion: It is necessary to design effective strategies to reduce the incidence of burn injuries in pediatric patients, so that steps can be taken to reduce burn injuries and their complications
