Association of Metabolic Syndrome and Hyperuricemia in the Recipients of Kidney Transplants: A Single-Center Study.

Introduction: The prevalence of hyperuricemia shows an increasing trend among kidney transplant recipients. The association between metabolic syndrome and hyperuricemia among the recipients of kidney transplants may consequently lead to reduction in graft survival. In this regard, the present study aimed at comparing the kidney transplant recipients with and without metabolic syndrome in terms of the prevalence of hyperuricemia.

Systematic review of health policy and behavioral economics: A neglected point in health promotion.

Background: Health policymakers use a variety of policy tools. These policies are either based on external factors or are based on paternal considerations; people may need to have help in the selection of items that may be regretted about them in the future. However, recent research on behavioral economics shows that major decision-making mistakes are not only limited to vulnerable groups but also are ubiquitous and systematic.

Investigation of occupational fatigue and safety climate among nurses using the structural equation model.

Background: Nursing is associated with many stressful situations that can lead to fatigue, reduced efficiency, and physical and mental illness. Safety climate is one of the most important indicators of safety management performance assessment that assesses employees' attitudes towards safety issues.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between safety climate and occupational fatigue in nurses.

Factors Affecting the Long-Term Survival of Kidney Transplantation in Northeastern of Iran between 2000 and 2015.

Background: Graft and patient survival are of great importance after transplantation. This study aimed to determine the long-term survival rate of kidney transplantation and its effective factors among transplanted patients in Mashhad transplantation centers in northeastern Iran.

Methods: Overall, 618 kidney transplant recipients were examined in different transplantation centers during the years from 2000 to 2015 in a historical cohort study.

Higher Viral Load of Polyomavirus Type BK but not JC among Renal Transplant Recipients in Comparison to Donors.
