Atrial Septal Abnormalities and Cryptogenic Stroke: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Cardiovasc Hematol Disord Drug Targets
September 2024
Background: Cryptogenic stroke, whose underlying pathology is unknown, accounts for 30-40% of all ischemic strokes. Studies have mentioned the association between atrial septal abnormalities and cryptogenic stroke, but there are still disparities in the results among different studies.
Objective: We aimed to clarify the prevalence of atrial septal abnormalities in patients with cryptogenic stroke.
Background: Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) especially those with younger age experience an alteration in physiological and emotional lifestyle that can affect intimacy and sexuality. The aim of this study was to determine demographic and disease related determinants of intimacy and sexuality in young women with MS.
Methods: This was a cross sectional study carried out in Tehran, Iran.
Introduction: Tricuspid valve (TV) has a complex anatomy causing some difficulties in echocardiographic evaluation. In this study, we sought to assess the geometry of TV in patients with functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) by the implementation of 2- and 3-dimennsional (2D and 3D) echocardiography.
Methods: In a case-control study, the geometrical features of TV were evaluated in forty patients with functional TR using echocardiographic examinations, and those data compared with twenty-five age- and sex-matched healthy individuals.
Objective: To investigate the effects of stabilization exercises focusing on pelvic floor muscles on both low back pain (LBP) and urinary incontinence (UI) in women suffering from chronic nonspecific LBP.
Methods: In a randomized clinical trial, 60 women, ranging from 45 to 60 years old, with chronic nonspecific LBP and stress UI were recruited. They were randomly assigned to the control group (n = 30) that received routine physiotherapy modalities and regular exercises, or the training group (n = 30) that received routine physiotherapy modalities and stabilization exercises focusing on pelvic floor muscle (12 weeks).
Prevalence and risk factors for depression in women with multiple sclerosis: a study from Iran.
Ann Gen Psychiatry
September 2015
Background: Multiple sclerosis is increasingly becoming a major health problem among women worldwide. The aim of the present study was to estimate prevalence of depression in women with multiple sclerosis and also to identify risk factors contributing to its development.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of depression in a sample of 226 women with multiple sclerosis.
Introduction: The Multiple Sclerosis Intimacy and Sexuality Questionnaire-19 (MSISQ-19) was designed to assess the perceived influence of multiple sclerosis (MS) symptoms on sexual activity and satisfaction.
Aims: This study aimed to translate and validate the MSISQ-19 in women with MS in Iran.
Methods: The translation of the original questionnaire was carried out in accordance with a standard forward-backward procedure.
Background: The aim of present study was to determine disease-related and psychological risk factors for sexual dysfunction in women with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Methods: This was a clinical-based study conducted from September 2009 to June 2010 in Tehran, Iran. A consecutive sample of female patients with MS was recruited from an outpatient clinic.
In the present study, we have investigated the effects of silymarine on depression and the possible role of serotonergic system in these effects. The rats were anesthetized intraperitoneally with ketamine hydrochloride and placed in a Stoelting stereotaxic instrument. A stainless steel guide cannula (22-gauge) was implanted in the third ventricular region.
