Sources and Extraction of Biopolymers and Manufacturing of Bio-Based Nanocomposites for Different Applications.

In the recent era, bio-nanocomposites represent an emerging group of nanostructured hybrid materials and have been included in a new field at the frontier of materials science, life sciences, and nanotechnology. These biohybrid materials reveal developed structural and functional features of great attention for diverse uses. These materials take advantage of the synergistic assembling of biopolymers with nanometer-sized reinforcements.

Safety and efficacy of RCP recombinant spike protein covid-19 vaccine compared to Sinopharm BBIBP: A phase III, non-inferiority trial.

Background: We conducted a phase III, non-inferiority trial comparing safety and efficacy of RCP recombinant spike protein Covid-19 vaccine to BBIBP (Sinopharm).

Methods: Adult Iranian population received RCP or BBIBP in a randomized, double blind and an additional non-randomized open labeled trial arms. Eligible participants signed a written informed consent and received two intramuscular injections three weeks apart.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Infection Symptoms in Pregnancy and Maternal and Neonatal Complications Due to COVID-19: A Systematic Review.

Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in pregnant women is associated with severe maternal and neonatal complications including maternal and newborn death.

Aims: This review aimed to assess the SARS-CoV-2 infection symptoms during pregnancy as well as maternal and neonatal complications in Iran.

Settings And Design: A developing and low-income country and a systematic review.

Cultural Beliefs and Practices in Postpartum Women in Iran: A Qualitative Study.

Background: Cultural differences can be seen in the birth and postpartum period, where some traditional practices are used to protect the postpartum women and their newborns. The aim of this study was to investigate the cultural beliefs and practices of postpartum women.

Materials And Methods: This was a qualitative study.

Smear grading at initial treatment association with treatment outcomes among new smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients: A retrospective study.

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most challenging diseases in diagnosis, treatment and control. We aimed to assess the association of the initial grading of Mycobacterium Sputum Smear (MSS) on the outcomes of TB treatment.

Materials And Methods: In a retrospective study, data of 418 positive pulmonary smear patients were retrieved from the TB registration system in Iran during 2014 to 2021.

The Effect of Sumatriptan, Theophylline, Pregabalin and Caffeine on Prevention of Headache Caused By Spinal Anaesthesia (PDPH): A Systematic Review.

Spinal anaesthesia (SA) is a common method during surgery due to easy administration, rapid effects, relaxes muscles and controls pain. But, post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) is a common problem after SA that occurs in 6%-36% of SA. We assessed the effect of four common treatment drugs sumatriptan, theophylline, pregabalin and oral caffeine on prevention of PDPH.

Chemopreventive and therapeutic potential of curcumin in esophageal cancer: Current and future status.

Esophageal cancer is a common malignant tumor with an increasing trend during the past three decades. Currently, esophagectomy, often in combination with neoadjuvant chemo- and radiotherapy, is the cornerstone of curative treatment for esophageal cancer. However, esophagostomy is related to significant risks of perioperative mortality and morbidity, as well as lengthy recovery.
