Effect of static magnetic field therapy on diabetic neuropathy and quality of life: a double-blind, randomized trial.

Background: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) that can cause annoying symptoms. To address this condition, several treatment approaches have been proposed, including static magnetic field (SMF) therapy, which has shown promise in treating neurological conditions. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of SMF therapy on symptomatic DPN and the quality of life (QoL) in patients with type 2 diabetes.

The effects of anabolic-androgenic steroids on DNA damage in bodybuilders' blood lymphocytes.

Background: Nowadays bodybuilders use anabolic steroids frequently. Abuse of these substances can cause significant side effects; therefore, we aim to investigate the effect of anabolic steroids on DNA damage in bodybuilders' blood lymphocytes.

Methods And Materials: This case-control study was performed on 36 male bodybuilders in Gonabad.

Correlation between expression of CatSper1,2 and sperm parameters in the gamma irradiated adult mouse testis.

CatSper protein channels are responsible for the entry of Ca2+ into sperm cells. These proteins play an important role in motility and male fertility. So it is important to find out whether or not environmental factors, such as gamma radiation, have an effect on the expression of Catsper genes.

Effect of acupressure on constipation in patients undergoing hemodialysis: A randomized double-blind controlled clinical trial.

Objective: Constipation is one of the most common digestive problems in patients undergoing hemodialysis. It has a negative effect on quality of life in these patients. As routine treatments are not effective in this regard, complementary therapies may help to overcome this condition.

Comparison of DNA damages in blood lymphocytes of indoor swimming pool lifeguards with non-lifeguards athletes.

Chlorination has been used as a major disinfectant process for swimming pool water in many countries. The purpose of this study is to compare the DNA damage of the blood lymphocytes in indoor pool lifeguards with non-lifeguards athletes. We performed a study in which the participants were Gonabad's lifeguards.

The data of strains genes in different types of wastewater.

From April 2016 to March 2017, a number of 99 isolates of were collected from three types of wastewater including urban wastewater (33 isolates), livestock slaughterhouse wastewater (33 isolates) and poultry slaughterhouse wastewater (33 isolate). The specimens were cultured on microbiological media. The bacterial identification was performed by morphological and biochemical tests.

Chondrogenic differentiation of human scalp adipose-derived stem cells in Polycaprolactone scaffold and using Freeze Thaw Freeze method.

Human adipose tissue has been identified as a viable alternative source for mesenchymal stem cells. SADSCs were isolated from human scalp biopsy and then were characterized by Flow cytometry. SADSC expressed CD90, CD44, and CD105 but did not express CD45 surface marker.

Breast cancer diagnosis: Imaging techniques and biochemical markers.

Breast cancer is a complex disease which is found as the second cause of cancer-associated death among women. Accumulating of evidence indicated that various factors (i.e.

Assessment of DNA damage in blood lymphocytes of bakery workers by comet assay.

The comet assay is widely used in screening and identification of genotoxic effects of different substances on people in either their working or living environment. Exposure to fuel smoke leads to DNA damage and ultimately different types of cancer. Using a comet assay, the present study aimed to assess peripheral blood lymphocyte DNA damage in people working in bakeries using natural gas, kerosene, diesel, or firewood for fuel compared to those in the control group.

The Effect of G-ORS Along With Rice Soup in the Treatment of Acute Diarrhea in Children: A Single-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: The world health organization guidelines for treatment of diarrhea in children emphasize on continued feeding together with prescription of oral rehydration solution (ORS) and supplementary zinc therapy. However, conflicting viewpoints exist regarding the optimal diet and dietary ingredients for children with diarrhea. Moreover, few studies have investigated the effect of rice soup along with ORS in the treatment of this disease.

DNA damage assessment in the lymphocytes of construction painters by comet assay.

Background: Exposure to chemicals is inevitable for certain occupational groups, particularly in industrial countries. Some cytogenetic tests such as comet assay are effectively utilized to screen genotoxic effects of these chemicals in humans. The purpose of this study has been to assess the DNA damage in construction painters' lymphocytes using the comet assay.

The effect of massage on neonatal jaundice in stable preterm newborn infants: a randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of massage therapy on transcutaneous bilirubin of stable preterm infants.

Methods: The controlled clinical trial was conducted in 2014 at Shahid Hasheminejhad Hospital, Iran, and comprised preterm neonatal children in the neonatal intensive care unit. The newborns were divided into two groups of massage and control via random allocation.

Comparison of EMLA cream with rattles on reducing immunization pain in four months infants.

Objective: To assess the effect of Eutectic Mixture of Local Anaesthetics cream and rattle on soothing the vaccination pain on four-month-infants.

Methods: The single blind randomised clinical trial was conducted from May 2012 to February 2013 at a clinic under the Gonabad University of Medical Sciences, Iran, and comprised four-month infants who were selected randomly and divided into three groups. In one group, 2g of eutectic mixture of local anaesthetics cream was rubbed on the injection spot before administration; for the other group, the rattle was shaken from 30s to 15s before injection.
