Factors associated with presentation to the emergency department during an intensive post-discharge intervention in patients with substance use disorders.

Background: Early identification of patients with substance use disorders (SUDs) with a higher risk of emergency department (ED) presentations after being discharged can be useful. We performed a chart review of patients from the Intensive Recovery Discharge Team (IRDT) program, which provides two weeks of outpatient support for patients with SUDs discharged from a mental health hospital.

Method: Demographic, service utilization, and clinical data from 716 patients enrolled in IRDT from February 2021-February 2023 were extracted from electronic health records.

Optimization of a Solution-Processed TiO/(n)c-Si Electron-Selective Interface by Pre- and Postdeposition Treatments.

Developing a vacuum-free and low-temperature deposition technique for dopant-free carrier-selective materials without sacrificing their performance can reduce the fabrication cost and CO footprint of silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells. In this contribution, to activate the full capacity of the solution-processed TiO as an electron-selective passivation contact, the effects of various pre- and postdeposition treatments on the passivation quality and contact resistivity are investigated simultaneously. It is demonstrated that the electrical properties of a thin TiO layer spin-coated on an n-type silicon substrate can be remarkably improved through tailor-made pre- and postdeposition treatments.

Comparison between cytisine and Nicotine Replacement Therapy in smoking cessation among inpatient psychiatric patients.

Introduction: Smoking is more common among people with mental disorders and is associated with adverse effects. Some compounds, including nicotine and cytisine, have been used in many individuals to increase success in smoking cessation. In this study, the effect of cytisine on the smoking status of patients hospitalized in the psychiatry department was investigated.

Results from the first inpatient alcohol withdrawal management program in Iran: An observational study.

Background And Aims: The consumption of alcohol is prohibited in Iran; however, concerns regarding alcohol-related harm have led to the development of national policies supporting the establishment of officially endorsed alcohol treatment settings. As a part of these policies, the Iranian Ministry of Health supported the establishment of the first alcohol withdrawal management unit in the psychosomatic unit of Taleghani Hospital in 2015. The purpose of this study is to report on this pilot project.

Smoking Ban in Psychiatric Inpatient Unit: An Iranian Study on the Views and Attitudes of the Mental Health Staff and Psychiatric Patients.

Although the move to smoke-free mental health inpatient settings is an internationally common and popular trend, these policies are neither implemented nor supported by any national program in Iran. This study investigates the attitude of mental health staff and psychiatric patients toward smoking cessation in 2 psychiatric inpatient units (psychosomatic and adult general psychiatry) in the Taleghani general hospital in Tehran. One hundred and twenty participants of this cross-sectional study consist of 30 mental health staff and 90 psychiatric patients.
