Needs assessment of military medicine education curriculum in medical students and upcoming challenges.

Introduction: The curriculum of military medicine for medical students of universities of military medical sciences is a priority and a practical goal. Paying attention to the educational needs of students creates vitality and motivation among students for better learning and improving the learning environment. Frequent monitoring and updating of the content of military courses and modern teaching improve the quality and quantity of the military medicine curriculum.

Planning basics of need-based trauma training in asymmetric warfare focusing elements, materials, and sources of training.

Introduction And Aim: Trauma is one of the major causes of death and inability among populations serving on battlefields. Hence, all active forces on battlefields need to be prepared to cope with trauma. Therefore, training on trauma is a requirement for the battlefield, and achieving it is possible through need/facility-based training.

The role of military medicine and the significance of training military medicine.

Military forces are exposed to various kinds of special diseases for their occupational condition. As an academic discipline, Military Medicine serves to meet the healthcare needs of the forces. Professional Military Medicine has started working nearly from modern wars time in the 20 century.

Efficacy of active and passive evidence-based practice training for postgraduate medical residents: a non-randomized controlled trial.

Objective: This study examined the effects of two evidence-based practice (EBP) educational programs for postgraduate medical residents on their attitude, behavior, knowledge, outcome, and competencies in EBP.

Results: Forty-five and thirty-five medical residents were recruited in the active and passive educational intervention groups, respectively. Among those, 39 and 30 participants were included in the final analysis.

Investigation of hospital indoor air quality for the presence of SARS-Cov-2.

Purpose: Unidentified dynamics for the causative agent of COVID-19, SARS-Cov-2, led to the critical public health issue. Suspicion for the airborne potential of SARS-Cov-2 is an important problem for its transmission and relevant epidemics. This research investigated hospital indoor air quality to SARS-Cov-2 occurrence and determination its air born potential.

Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells ameliorate lung epithelial injury through mitigating of oxidative stress in mustard lung.

We investigated potential efficacy of autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) on oxidative stress (OS) and airway remodeling in patients with chronic mustard lung. Ten patients received 100 × 10 cells every 20 days for 4 injections over a 2-month period. A gradual improvement was observed for 6 min walk test scores, pulmonary function tests and respiratory quality after MSCs therapy.

Outcomes of Crowding in Emergency Departments; a Systematic Review.

Introduction: Emergency Department (ED) crowding is a global public health phenomenon affecting access and quality of care. In this study, we seek to conduct a systematic review concerning the challenges and outcomes of ED crowding.

Methods: This systematic review utilized original research articles published from 1st January 2007, to 1st January 2019.

Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Treatment of Airway Injuries in A Patient after Long-Term Exposure to Sulfur Mustard.

Objective: Sulfur mustard (SM) is a potent mutagenic agent that targets several organs, particularly lung tissue. Changes in morphological structure of the airway system are associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary deficiency following exposure to SM. Although numerous studies have demonstrated pathological effects of SM on respiratory organs, unfortunately there is no effective treatment to inhibit further respiratory injuries or induce repair in these patients.

Barriers Against Implementing Blunt Abdominal Trauma Guidelines in a Hospital: A Qualitative Study.

Introduction: Clinical practice guidelines are structured recommendations that help physicians and patients to make proper decisions when dealing with a specific clinical condition. Because blunt abdominal trauma causes a various range of mild, single-system, and multisystem injuries, early detection will help to reduce mortality and resulting disability. Emergency treatment should be initiated based on CPGs.

User Acceptance of Picture Archiving and Communication System in the Emergency Department.

Background: Picture archiving and communication system (PACS) has allowed the medical images to be transmitted, stored, retrieved, and displayed in different locations of a hospital or health system. Using PACS in the emergency department will eventually result in improved efficiency and patient care. In spite of the abundant benefits of employing PACS, there are some challenges in implementing this technology like users' resistance to accept the technology, which has a critical role in PACS success.

Hospital Readmission Through the Emergency Department.

Background: Hospital readmission places a high burden on both health care systems and patients. Most readmissions are thought to be related to the quality of the health care system.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the causes and rates of early readmission in emergency department in a Tehran hospital.

Assessing the Physical Environment of Emergency Departments.

Background: Emergency Department (ED) is considered to be the heart of a hospital. Based on many studies, a well-organized physical environment can enhance efficacy.

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to investigate the influence of physical environment in EDs on efficacy.

Endoscopic approach for excision of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma: complications and outcomes.

The purposes of this study are to report the efficacy of the endoscopic approach for juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) and to compare its related intra- and postoperative complications with findings from traditional approaches in the literatures. This study is a retrospective report of 47 cases of JNA that were treated with nasal endoscopic surgery between 1998 and 2005. According to the staging system by Radkowski et al (Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg.

Electroorganic synthesis of new benzofuro[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives.

Electrochemical oxidation of 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (1) in the presence of 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid (2) and 1,3-diethyl-2-thiobarbituric acid (3) as nucleophiles in aqueous solution has been studied using cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential coulometry. The results indicate that 1 via Michael reaction under electro-decarboxylation reaction converts to benzofuro[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives (6a, 6b). The electrochemical synthesis of 6a, 6b has been successfully performed in an undivided cell in good yields and purity.
