Rhazes' insights on abortion and abortogenic drugs in relation to modern concepts.

Abortion remains one of the most prevalent complications of pregnancy, contributing significantly to maternal mortality and presenting a substantial public health challenge. This study aimed to explore Rhazes' perspective on abortion and abortifacient medicinal plants he mentioned in Kitāb al-Ḥāwī fī al-Ṭibb. A detailed analysis of his seminal work, Kitāb al-Ḥāwī fī al-Ṭibb, was conducted.

Advances and impact of human amniotic membrane and human amniotic-based materials in wound healing application.

Wound healing is a complicated process, especially when surgical, traumatic, burn, or pathological injury occurs, which requires different kinds of dressing covers including hydrogels, hydrocolloids, alginates foams and films for treatment. The human amniotic membrane (hAM) is a biodegradable extracellular matrix with unique and tailorable physicochemical and biological properties, generated by the membrane itself or other cells that are located on the membrane surface. It is noted as a promising aid for wound healing and tissue regeneration due to the release of growth factors and cytokines, and its antibacterial and immunosuppressive properties.

Preparation and characterization of an antibacterial CMC/PCL hydrogel films containing CIP/Cur: In vitro and in vivo evaluation of wound healing activity.

Wound healing process significantly impeded by prolonged inflammation responses, infection at the wound site, and insufficient angiogenesis. The sustained release of anti-inflammation and anti-bacterial drugs has the potential to control immune responses, improve angiogenesis, accelerate wound healing, and re-epithelialization. In this research a multifunctional hydrogel containing carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC) and polycaprolactone (PCL), along with Ciprofloxacin (CIP) and Curcumin (Cur) was developed.

Evidence-based practice in traditional persian medicine (TPM): a stakeholder and social network analysis.

Background: The utilization of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is experiencing a global surge, accompanied by the adoption of national CAM policies in numerous countries. Traditional Persian medicine (TPM) is highly used as CAM in Iran, and the ongoing scientific evaluation of its interventions and the implementation of evidence-based medicine (EBM) encounters various barriers. Therefore, comprehending the characteristics and interactions of stakeholders is pivotal in advancing EBM within TPM policies.

Evaluation of relationship between memory and temperament in 18-28 years old students.

Background: Mizaj (Temperament) is a concept to express individual differences in Persian medicine and according to this theory, there is a relationship between Mizaj type and the abilities of different body organs. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the relationship between the type of Mizaj and the memory score (Quotient).

Methods: The target population was the 18 to 38 years old students of Babol University of Medical Sciences.
