Potential Impact of 3% Hypertonic Saline Infusion on Tramadol Poisoning-Induced Electrocardiogram Changes; a Randomized Clinical Trial.

Introduction: Tramadol is a synthetic analgesic with weak mu-opioid receptor agonist activity. Tramadol overdose is associated with adverse cardiac effects due to inhibiting cardiac Na+ and K+ channels. This study aimed to investigate the potential ameliorative role of 3% hypertonic saline on the electrocardiogram (ECG) changes in patients presenting with tramadol poisoning.

Outcomes of the anterior approach versus posterior sacrospinous ligament fixation for pelvic organ prolapse.

Introduction And Hypothesis: This study aimed to compare anterior sacrospinous ligament fixation (SSLF) with the standard posterior SSLF concerning complications and outcomes in patients with apical compartment pelvic organ prolapse (POP).

Methods: This is an observational descriptive study using prospective data collected from two referral urogynecological centers. The study cohort represents all 135 women in our prospective study who underwent anterior approach bilateral anterior or unilateral posterior meshless SSLF from January 2018 to December 2020 using the PFDI-20 questionnaire and the POP quantification (POP-Q) system pre- and postoperatively.

The ability of Canadian Syncope risk score in differentiating cardiogenic and non-cardiogenic syncope; a cross-sectional study.

Introduction: Determining the underlying etiology of syncope provides valuable prognostic information and expedites the implementation of a therapeutic strategy. This study aimed to evaluate the ability of Canadian Syncope Risk Score (CSRS) in differentiating cardiogenic and non-cardiac syncope.

Methods: The present diagnostic accuracy study was conducted on adult patients with syncope, who presented to the emergency departments of Shohadaye Tajrish and Imam Hossein Hospitals in Tehran from March 2018 to March 2019.

An Umbrella Review of Clinical Efficacy and Adverse Cardiac Events Associated with Hydroxychloroquine or Chloroquine with or Without Azithromycin in Patients with COVID-19.

Context: The safety and efficacy of several repurposed drugs, including hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, with or without azithromycin, were presumed to be miraculous in treating patients with COVID-19. However, as it later transpired, these therapeutic agents seem to be associated with critical adverse cardiac events.

Objectives: Given the skepticism around the advantages and disadvantages of the aforementioned treatment strategies, the present study aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy and cardiac toxicity of hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine with or without azithromycin in the setting of COVID-19 infection.

Philadelphia versus Miami-J cervical collar's impact on pulmonary function.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of two types of cervical collars (Philadelphia and Miami-J) on pulmonary function and ventilation in healthy volunteers through spirometry, peak flow meter, and capnograph.

Method: Initially, subjects were randomized into two groups in which the sequence of collars' fixation was reversed. Afterward, we assessed the pulmonary parameters without a cervical collar in all participants.
