Evidence-Based Design in the Hospital Environment: A Staff's Burnout Study in the COVID-19 Era.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the evidence-based design of the hospital physical space effect on the burnout of nurses and physicians during COVID-19. The research question was to identify the connection between daylight, nature-view windows, and hospital staff burnout during Covid-19.

Background: The evidence-based design in the hospital environment affects the health of the medical staff.

Design of vestibules as transitional spaces in infection control: Necessity of working space changes to cope with communicable infections.

Background: After the spread of infectious diseases, people stay at home as a shelter space to be safe and sound. Current homes and work spaces have shown not to be a good environment for health and hygiene. During different crises of infectious diseases, architects and designers analyze the needs for change and evolve of environments to achieve a suitable design that prevents the spread of pathogens.

The Effectiveness of the Anteroom (Vestibule) Area on Hospital Infection Control and Health Staff Safety: A Systematic Review.

The emergence of SARS-CoV2 in 2019 showed again that the world's healthcare system is not fully equipped and well-designed for preventing the transmission of nosocomial respiratory infections. One of the great tools for preventing the spread of infectious organisms in hospitals is the anteroom. Several articles have investigated the role of the anteroom in disease control but the lack of a comprehensive study in this field prompted us to provide more in-depth information to fill this gap.

Evaluation of proximal femoral geometry and its relationship with body mass index in Iranian people: a cross sectional study.

Introduction: There are several studies on the angle of the femoral neck in different countries. It seems that data of diverse races might help the prediction of femoral neck fractures. The present study aimed to evaluate the femoral neck-shaft angle (FNSA) as a predictive factor of neck fracture in Iranian people.

Ginseng alleviates folliculogenesis disorders via induction of cell proliferation and downregulation of apoptotic markers in nicotine-treated mice.

Background: Ginseng is a powerful phytoestrogen with high antioxidant properties.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Panax Ginseng (PG) on folliculogenesis, proliferation, and apoptosis in the ovary impaired by nicotine.

Methods: Forty adult mice were divided into five groups.

The amelioration of nicotine-induced reproductive impairment in male mouse by L. fruit extract.

Nicotine as a toxic agent in cigarette smoke impairs the reproductive system. Sambucus ebulus extract (SEE) is shown to have some beneficial effects such as antioxidant properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of SEE on the hormones of the pituitary-gonadal axis, lipid peroxidation index, antioxidant enzymes, spermatogenesis, and epididymal sperm parameters in male mice treated with nicotine.

Comparative study of the neck shaft angle in femoral neck and intertrochanteric fractures in north part of Iran.

Background: A femur fracture is accounted for as one of the most common fractures in the population. The femoral neck has had an angle with the longitudinal axis of the bone shaft, which is defined as neck- shaft angle (NSA). Regional epidemiologic information about NSA might be useful for orthopedic surgeons.

Effect of tamsulosin on testis histopathology and serum hormones in adult rats: Experimental study.

Background: Tamsulosin is an inhibitory factor of alpha-adrenergic receptors that is used for relieving of the clinical symptoms and management of acute urinary retention.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of tamsulosin on the endocrine axis and testicular tissue in adult male rats.

Materials And Methods: In this experimental study, 30 adult male Wistar rats (weighing 250-300 gr) were divided into three groups: 1) control (received distilled water), 2) experimental 1 (received 0.

TNF-alpha G/A308 polymorphism association with nasal polyposis in North part of Iran.

Nasal Polyposis (NP) is a complex multi-factorial disease; associated with several environmental, genetic and inflammatory factors. TNF-alpha is one of the major pro-inflammatory cytokines involved in NP pathogenesis. Some of the polymorphisms of this gene affect its expression.

Oxytocin can decrease germ cells apoptotic index in testis under acute ischemia reperfusion in a rat model.

Unlabelled: Ischemia reperfusion (IR) is the main pathology of torsion of testis and it is a common urologic emergency. There is some evidence that shows oxytocin (OT) plays role in ischemia reperfusion.

Objective: To evaluate this hypothesis that OT can decrease germ cell apoptotic index in testis under acute ischemia reperfusion in a rat model.

The Correlation between Microsatellite Instability and the Features of Sporadic Colorectal Cancer in the North Part of Iran.

Background. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between MSI and sporadic colorectal cancer in Guilan province, North part of Iran. Materials and Methods.
