Prevalence of burnout and related factors in nursing faculty members: a systematic review.

Purpose: The current study aimed to identify the prevalence of burnout and related factors in nursing faculty members through a systematic review of the literature.

Methods: A comprehensive search of electronic databases, including Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Iranmedex, and Scientific Information Database was conducted via keywords extracted from Medical Subject Headings, including burnout and nursing faculty, for studies published from database inception to April 1, 2022. The quality of the included studies in this review was assessed using the appraisal tool for cross-sectional studies.

Does a "continuous care model" affect the quality of life of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting?

The physical and mental needs of patients with coronary heart disease are affected by both the disease and the heart surgery in different ways. Such diverse needs require different approaches. A continuous care model, which involves orientation, sensitization, control, and evaluation, may favorably influence patient outcomes following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Molecular Genotyping of Shigella sonnei Strains Isolated From Children With Bloody Diarrhea Using Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis on the Total Genome and PCR-RFLP of IpaH and IpaBCD Genes.

Background: Identification, understanding of antibiotic sensitivity patterns and molecular characterization of genetic elements of Shigella species are important because of both epidemiological and clinical indications in developing countries.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze molecular epidemiology of Shigella isolates recovered from children with diarrhea in Shiraz (Southern Iran), using IpaH and IpaBCD PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), and to determine pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) patterns of total DNA of the S. sonnei isolates to find the clonality among these strains.

Microbial susceptibility, virulence factors, and plasmid profiles of uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains isolated from children in Jahrom, Iran.

Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs), including cystitis and pyelonephritis, are the most common infectious diseases in childhood. Escherichia coli (E. coli) accounts for as much as 90% of the community-acquired and 50% of nosocomial UTIs.

Relations between steroids and AMH: impact of basal and intrafollicular steroids to AMH ratios on oocyte yield and maturation rate in women with or without polycystic ovary undergoing in vitro fertilization.

Objective: This study sought to determine the relationships between serum or intrafollicular ovarian steroids and anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) and to predict impact of steroids to AMH ratios on oocyte quantity and metaphase II (MII) oocyte rate in normo-ovulatory (control) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients.

Design: Prospective study.

Setting: University hospital and research center.

An improvement in isolation and preservation of clinical strains of Helicobacter pylori.

Background And Aim: Isolation of H. pylori from gastric mucosal biopsy specimens is a prerequisite for further studies addressing drug susceptibility testing, analysis and characterization of virulence factors, molecular epidemiology studying or other comparative studies. In this study, we used a modified enriched culture medium with short incubation time to improve the isolation rate of H.

Antimicrobial susceptibility of Helicobacter pylori strains isolated from patients in Shiraz, Southern Iran.

Aim: To improve our understanding of Iranian regional variation in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) antibiotic resistance rates to find the best antibiotic therapy for eradication of H. pylori infections.

Comparing serum basal and follicular fluid levels of anti-Müllerian hormone as a predictor of in vitro fertilization outcomes in patients with and without polycystic ovary syndrome.

Background And Objectives: The prediction of in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes by anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) measurement is getting increasing attention from clinicians. This study compares the relationship between serum or intrafollicular AMH levels and IVF outcomes in women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Methods: This prospective study was carried out in two university-based fertility clinics.
