Background: Surgical or medical treatment for type B or descending aortic dissections with difficult presentation or stable hemodynamics is debatable. This study aimed to review the type B aortic dissection therapy to assess safety and effectiveness.
Materials And Methods: Online databases of PubMed, Science Direct, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Scopus were searched for relevant systematic reviews, guidelines, and meta-analysis studies on the management of type B aortic dissection, up to July 2023.
Purpose: We determined the size of the transgender population in Shiraz, Iran.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the respondent-driven sampling technique was used by choosing eight seeds, three waves, and six coupons for each participant. The estimated population size was calculated by wisdom of the crowds, multiplier, and successive sampling-population size estimation (SS-PSE) methods.
Background: While there are multiple guidelines for the management of bleeding complications and hematoma if being treated with antithrombotic and anticoagulant drugs, these risks are not yet stratified for procedures with regional anesthesia.
Materials And Methods: This study was an umbrella review of systematic studies and meta-analysis based on PRISMA guidelines in databases of Scopus, PubMed, Medline, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases. Due to heterogeneity in evaluated outcomes and methods of studies, only the qualitative evidence synthesis was performed.
The origin and distribution of median nerve varies among the different individuals. The median nerve variations in axillary region were reported by many authors previously. Understanding of these variations is especially necessary for clinicians to prevent iatrogenic nerve damage.

Main Body: Children as a major part of the family and society are usually involved in familial challenging events such as domestic violence, and suffer several major complications. This review aimed to explore the psychological consequences of child exposure to domestic violence.
Background: Given the observed olfactory and gustatory dysfunctions in patients with COVID-19 and recent findings on taste receptors possible important activities in the immune system, we elected to estimate the correlation between COVID-19 mortality and polymorphism of a particular type of bitter taste receptor gene called TAS2R38, in a worldwide epidemiological point of view.
Methods: Pooled rate of each of the rs713598, rs1726866, rs10246939, and PAV/AVI polymorphisms of the TAS2R38 gene was obtained in different countries using a systematic review methodology and its relationship with the mortality of COVID-19. Data were analyzed by the comprehensive meta-analysis software and SPSS.
Study Design: Cadaver study.
Objectives: To investigate the risk of the L5 nerve injury following sacral ala decortication performed during lumbosacral posterolateral fusion surgery.
Methods: Fourteen fresh cadaver pelvises were dissected through an anterior approach and the L5 nerves on both sides were explored and macroscopically examined by direct observation.
Background: In combined high median and ulnar nerve injury, transfer of the posterior interosseous nerve branches to the motor branch of the ulnar nerve (MUN) is previously described in order to restore intrinsic hand function. In this operation a segment of sural nerve graft is required to close the gap between the donor and recipient nerves. However the thenar muscles are not innervated by this nerve transfer.

The present study aimed to investigate morphometric parameters and organ weights of southern Iranian adults, which can be fundamental sources to be compared to abnormal cases.Morphometric parameters and weights of 6 organs (heart, liver, kidney, spleen, appendix, and brain), which were harvested from 501 southern Iranian adults (385 males and 116 females) during ordinary postmortem examination, were measured.

Methods: We reviewed medical records for unintentional foreign object remaining in the body during surgery such as gender, age, surgery ward, and incident reports referred to several forensic medicine administrations as well as adverse effects of retained foreign bodies and methods for detection of them over a 3-years period from January 2008 through May 2011.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on identifying rare codon clusters (RCCs) in the hepatitis B virus (HBV) genome and evaluating their impact on HBV proteins.
- The methodology involved utilizing databases like UniProt and Pfam to detect protein family accession numbers and analyze the HBV proteins' structures.
- Results indicated nine identified protein families; however, RCCs were absent in some HBV genes but were found in the hepatitis core antigen gene.
Background: The hepatitis C virus (HCV) has six major genotypes. The purpose of this study was to phylogenetically investigate the differences between the genotypes of HCV, and to determine the types of amino acid codon usage in the structure of the virus in order to discover new methods for treatment regimes.
Methods: The codon usage of the six genotypes of the HCV nucleotide sequence was investigated through the online application available on the website .
Objective: To investigate the pattern of mortality caused by road traffic accidents and its associated factors.
Methods: The retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in the Fars province of Iran and comprised data of all people having died in road traffic accidents from March 21, 2011, to March 19, 2012. Using census method, all files related to deaths in road accidents were reviewed at the Legal Medicine Centre.
Background: To compare the results of final renal function by two methods of treatment in patients diagnosed as posterior urethral valve (PUV) (valve ablation vs. vesicostomy).
Materials And Methods: Fifty-four boys diagnosed with PUV participated in this study.
Tracheomalacia is a common disorder in neonate and infants, which can lead to life-threatening airway occlusion, because of external pressure or intrinsic defect of tracheobroncial cartilage. Aortopexy and Stents are effective in relieving tracheomalacia in the latter patients. In this case we are to show how t-tube cholangiocatheter is effective and easy available in sever tracheomalacia neonates with intrinsic defect.

Methods: This study was conducted in Fars Province, Iran from November 22, 2009 to November 21, 2011. Victims'information consisted of age, sex, death toll involving dri- vers or passengers of cars, motorcycles and pedestrians, and site of injury etc.
Background: Role of pelvic osteotomy in surgical management of bladder exstrophy is controversial But pelvic rim closure importantly. Bulking agents have been used for perineal and pelvic dysfunction in adults. In this study, bladder extrophy repair was performed without pubic closure And bulking agent injections were used as the strut of anterior pelvis for prevention of Organ prolapse and other functions in this series.
