Human Gait Database for Normal Walk Collected by Smart Phone Accelerometer

The goal of this study is to introduce a comprehensive gait database of 93 human subjects who walked between two endpoints during two different sessions and record their gait data using two smartphones, one was attached to the right thigh and another one on the left side of the waist. This data is collected with the intention to be utilized by a deep learning-based method which requires enough time points. The metadata including age, gender, smoking, daily exercise time, height, and weight of an individual is recorded. this data set is publicly available

Exploring the Perspectives of Faculty Members and PhD Students on Career

Introduction: Universities are academic centers that induce changes in society and students and professors are the most important elements of both the university and society. Therefore, understanding their views about career prospects is of particular importance. Besides, professional development refers to improving the job position along with increasing responsibility. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the views of PhD students and faculty members of Hamadan University of Medical Sciences about career prospects and professional development using a qualitative study approach. Methods: This study was conducted using a content analysis approach. The participants were faculty members and PhD students of Hamadan University of Medical Sciences in the academic year 2016-2017. They were selected through purposive sampling with maximum variation. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews with the participants. In total, 23 PhD students were interviewed at Hamadan University of Medical Sciences. Each interview lasted from 30 to 45 minutes. Results: The two main themes (concern for the future and meeting individual needs) and four subthemes were extracted from the PhD students’ data and two main themes (interest in pursuing studies and the inconsistency and inefficiency of educational and professional systems) and three subthemes emerged from the faculty members’ data. Conclusion: Given the insights from this study, managers of the health system are recommended to pay special attention to ensuring students' career prospects through successful planning for training capable human resources, reforming the educational structure fitting the work environment, teaching entrepreneurial skills, and creating effective employment conditions. Besides, faculty members are among the components of the educational structure of the country, and paying attention to their progress is essential to increase their productivity. Therefore, it is important to recognize the factors affecting their job satisfaction and progress and their optimal performance

The Impact of Educational Intervention Programs to Promoting Mammography Screening: A Systematic Review

Background and Objectives: Breast cancer accounts for almost 30% of all cancers and is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women. The World Health Organization introduces two main measures to prevent breast cancer including relevant education and mammography as the fastest way of diagnosis before the appearance of disease symptoms.This study aimed systematic review to evaluate educational interventions designed to increase the rate of mammography screening. Materials and Methods: We searched electronic databases published between January 2010 to February 2016 and inclusion criteria through Embase, Google Scholar, Scopus, Cochrane, PubMed, Web of Science, SID, Iran Medex, and Iran Doc, selected the articles that focused on determining educational interventions. Results: Most of the studies were RCT. Interventions were more educational, motivational and supportive and were performed in different times. Data collection was in self-report method and an expected impact was action to mammography screening. Conclusions: Identification of effective factors in mammography and using the appropriate interventions as well as effective strategies in the knowledge, attitude and behavior fields will lead to early detection and treatment of breast cancer

Distribution of Class 1-3 Integrons in Carbapenem-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolated from Inpatients in Shiraz, South of Iran

BACKGROUND: Health-care-associated infection (HAI) is effect on patients for the time of staying in the hospital. Opportunistic pathogens including Pseudomonas aeruginosa are the most dangerous biological agents in nosocomial infections. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of 3 classes of integrons carrying to carbapenem resistance in P. aeruginosa strains collected from Nemazee hospital.METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted on clinical P. aeruginosa isolates were collected from Nemazee hospital. The identification of the isolates was performed by routine biochemical tests. Antimicrobial sensitivity testing was determined using the disk diffusion method against imipenem and meropenem. The int1, int2 and int3 genes were detected using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR).RESULTS: Seventy-five clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa were recovered from various clinical infections. A carbapenemresistant phenotype was detected in 42.7% (imipenem) and 29.3%(meropenem) of isolates. As the PCR results, 48 (64%) and 15 (20%) isolates were identified as being positive for class 1 and class 2 integrons, respectively. Class 3 integrons were not found among the studied isolates.CONCLUSIONS: Our data demonstrate the importance of class 1 and 2 integrons in carbapenem resistant P. aeruginosa strains. Therefore, integrons play an important role in acquisition and dissemination of carbapenem resistance genes among these pathogens, so, management of infection control policies and the appropriate use of antibiotics is essential for control the spreading of antibiotics resistance genes
