A dynamic management model for sustainable drug supply chain in hospital pharmacies in Iran.

Background: Sustainable supply chain management encompasses the strategic coordination and control of material, information, and financial flows, as well as the collaborative efforts among the entities engaged in the medicinal supply chain. This research proposes a dynamic and sustainable supply chain management model tailored explicitly for the inpatient pharmacies of Medical Centers and Hospitals affiliated with Iran University of Medical Sciences.

Methods: This is a quantitative study in terms of research objective and a qualitative study based on the stages in the conceptual development of the model.

Molecular weight of hyaluronic acid crosslinked into biomaterial scaffolds affects angiogenic potential.

While hyaluronic acid (HA)-based hydrogels have been used clinically for decades, the mechanisms by which HA exerts molecular weight-dependent bioactivity and how chemical modification and crosslinking may affect molecular weight-dependent bioactivity remain poorly understood. This knowledge gap presents a significant barrier to designing HA hydrogels with predictable bioactivities. As HA has been widely reported to have molecular weight-dependent effects on endothelial cells (ECs), we investigated how the molecular weight of HA in either soluble or crosslinked forms affects angiogenesis and interrogated CD44 clustering on the surface of endothelial cells as a candidate mechanism for these affects.

Intramuscular delivery of neural crest stem cell spheroids enhances neuromuscular regeneration after denervation injury.

Background: Muscle denervation from trauma and motor neuron disease causes disabling morbidities. A limiting step in functional recovery is the regeneration of neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) for reinnervation. Stem cells have the potential to promote these regenerative processes, but current approaches have limited success, and the optimal types of stem cells remain to be determined.

Determining the relationship between emotional intelligence and interpersonal sensitivity with quality of work life in nurses.

Background: Emotional intelligence and interpersonal sensitivity are known as important nursing skills. They have significant role in the promotion of nurses working life and the health care which they provide. The goal of this study was the determination of the relationship between emotional intelligence and interpersonal sensitivity with quality of work life in nurses working in governmental hospitals of Tehran city in 2019.

Recognition of factors affecting the use of volunteer clinical forces in hospitals in Tehran: A qualitative study.

Introduction: Volunteers are valuable human resources for service-providing organizations. Health system requires their participation and cooperation in all sectors to achieve more success. The present study was conducted to recognize factors influencing the use of volunteer clinical forces (VCFs) in Tehran hospitals from 2018 to 2020.

Staff perspectives on the relationship between knowledge management and social capital with organizational health in selected educational hospitals in Tehran.

Introduction: Knowledge management enhances efficiency, empowers employees, and enhances organizational health. Social capital provides a good basis for more productive human resources, and training hospitals also play a key role in the health-care system. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between knowledge management and social capital with organizational health in selected educational hospitals of Tehran in 2018.

Determining the relationship between health literacy level and quality of life among the elderly living in nursing homes.

Background: The literacy level of the elderly is predictive of health behaviors, average hospitalization in health centers, and the type of verbal interaction with health service providers; as the level of literacy changes, the quality of life may also change. This study aimed to determine the relationship between health literacy level and quality of life among the elderly living in nursing homes in 2018-2019.

Materials And Methods: This study was of a descriptive-analytic, correlation type that was performed on 175 elderly of selected nursing homes in Tehran.
