Effect of needles distance of arteriovenous fistula cannulation on hemodialysis adequacy based on KT/V: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: This study aims to assess the effect of needle distance of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) cannulation on haemodialysis adequacy based on KT/V.

Materials And Methods: This study was a parallel-group, randomized controlled trial. Patients who met the inclusion criteria were divided into two groups with 3 and 6 cm needle distances using block randomization.

Effects of aromatherapy with Matricaria chamomile essential oil on anxiety and hemodynamic indices in patients with acute coronary syndrome, 2021: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) experience high levels of anxiety that may cause instability of hemodynamic indices, increased risk of ischemia, myocardial infarction and poor quality of life. Aromatherapy can affect patients' anxiety levels and improve hemodynamic indices. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of aromatherapy on anxiety and hemodynamic indices in ACS patients.

Needle Direction and Distance of Arteriovenous Fistula Cannulation in Hemodialysis Adequacy; a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Introduction: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to summarize the evidence regarding the impact of needle direction and distance of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) cannulation on KT/V (where k is the dialyzer urea clearance, t, the duration of dialysis, and V, the volume of distribution of urea) and access recirculation (AR) as hemodialysis (HD) adequacy criteria.

Methods: A comprehensive systematic search was performed on international and domestic electronic databases from the earliest to June 4, 2022 using keywords. Analysis was performed in STATA software v.

Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms and Related Factors in Iranian Female Nurses.

Background: Lower Urinary Tract Symptom (LUTS) are common among female nurses. High levels of job stress in nurses may be associated with the prevalence of these symptoms. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of LUTS and factors related to these symptoms in female nurses.

Effect of Interposed Abdominal Compression on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Outcomes; a Randomized Clinical Trial.

Introduction: Standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation (STD-CPR) is successful in only 10-15% of cases in emergency department (ED). This study aimed to determine the effect of interposed abdominal compression (IAC) during resuscitation on outcomes of ED cardiac arrests.

Methods: In this randomized clinical trial study, non-trauma patients aged 18-85 years, patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest hospitalized in the ED were randomly assigned into two either STD-CPR or IAC-CPR group on a 1:1 basis and using computer-generated random numbers.

Association between climate variables (cold and hot weathers, humidity, atmospheric pressures) with out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in Rasht, Iran.

Climate change is one of the most important concerns for public health that affects communities and is a threat to human health. Few cross-sectional studies investigated the effects of extreme temperature as a risk factor on the cardiovascular system and the Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrests (OHCA).The current study aims to investigate the association between climate variables (cold and hot weathers, humidity, atmospheric pressures) with Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrests in Rasht, Iran.

The effects of meteorological variables on ambulance attendance for cardiovascular diseases in Rasht, Iran.

Climate change has a devastating effect on human societies, including their economic, cultural and health conditions. Our objective was to investigate the association between meteorological variables and ambulance attendance in the event of cardiovascular diseases using time-series analyses. We used a time series analysis to investigate the relationship between meteorological variables and ambulance attendance in the event of cardiovascular diseases from 2010 to 2015.

Effects of Hemodynamic Factors and Oxygenation on the Incidence of Pressure Ulcers in the ICU.

Objective: To investigate the roles of hemodynamic factors and oxygenation on the incidence of pressure ulcers in patients in the ICU on mechanical ventilation.

Methods: This prospective analytical cross-sectional study was performed in several ICUs for a period of 8 months in Iran. Researchers checked patients for pressure ulcers on a daily basis.

The Cardiac Risk Factors of Coronary Artery Disease and its relationship with Cardiopulmonary resuscitation: A retrospective study.

Background: Cardiovascular diseases are considered as the most prevalent serious disease in developed countries, and act as the number one cause of death among men and women in all ages and from all races.

Aim: The present research aims at determining the relationship between risk factors of cardiovascular diseases and consequences of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

Methods: The present study is a retrospective analytic-cross sectional research performed on 100 patients in need for CPR (successful and unsuccessful) during March 2017 - June 2017.

The Effects of Apparent Temperature on Cardiovascular Mortality Using a Distributed Lag Nonlinear Model Analysis: 2005 to 2014.

The relationship between apparent temperature and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality was studied in Rasht, Iran, from 2005 to 2014. The effects of apparent temperature on CVD mortality were investigated using the distributed lag nonlinear model. Data on all types of cardiovascular mortality cases according to the International Classification of Diseases were collected from the only cardiovascular hospital in Rasht, and the meteorological variables were obtained from Rasht Meteorological Center during the period of study.

Complementary health insurance, out- of- pocket expenditures, and health services utilization: A population- based survey.

Studies have shown that people using complementary health insurances have more access to health services than others. In the present study, we aimed at finding the differences between out- of- pocket payments and health service utilizations in complementary health insurances (CHIs) users and nonusers. Propensity score matching was used to compare the 2 groups.

Ambient temperature and cardiovascular mortality: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Our study aims at identifying and quantifying the relationship between the cold and heat exposure and the risk of cardiovascular mortality through a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Material And Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guideline. Peer-reviewed studies about the temperature and cardiovascular mortality were retrieved in the MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Scopus databases from January 2000 up to the end of 2015.

Fertility and Minority: A Study in Two Provinces of Iran Using Matching Estimator Technique.

The main aim of this study was to compare fertility in minor (Sunnah) and major (Shia) religious groups of Iran after matching the two groups by some confounding factors. 12,099 data of population and census survey of Iran in 2011 in two provinces of Guilan and Kurdistan were used in this study. Propensity scoring matching method was used for matching two groups.
