Article Synopsis
- Head lice infestations are a common issue globally, especially among schoolchildren in Iran, with a recent increase in reported cases across various provinces.
- This study focused on the prevalence of head lice and examined genetic resistance mutations in specific cities in Khorasan Razavi Province, using medical records and bioinformatics for data analysis.
- Findings showed a prevalence of 1.59% in 2016 and 1.7% in 2017, with kdr gene mutations present, indicating a growing challenge that necessitates new treatment approaches and better monitoring of resistance to lice treatments.
Introduction And Importance: Managing pain is critical, especially for premature infants undergoing frequent painful procedures. Uncontrolled pain can lead to lasting harm in growth, cognitive development, and future pain responses.
Methods: A double-blinded clinical investigation involving 150 premature infants was performed in a neonatal intensive care unit.
Background: Among leukemia patients, sleep disruptions are prevalent and can profoundly affect their overall quality of life. Acupressure and foot reflexology, modalities rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, have garnered attention for their potential to address sleep disturbances and mitigate associated symptoms.
Methods: This research utilized a randomized controlled trial with a pretest-posttest design involving 102 leukemia patients admitted to Imam Khomeini Hospital in Urmia.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of acupressure and reflexology on fatigue in chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients.
Method: In this randomized controlled trial with three arms and a pretest-posttest design, 102 CLL patients were randomly allocated to acupressure (n = 34), reflexology (n = 34), or control (n = 34) groups. Pre-intervention assessments were conducted using a demographic questionnaire and a fatigue scale for cancer patients.
