The Efficacy of Zinc Gluconate Supplementation in the Improvement of Malnutrition Indices and Skin Abnormalities in Hemodialysis Patients: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Background: Hemodialysis patients often suffer from several complications such as malnutrition and skin abnormalities. We hypothesized that zinc supplementation may improve these complications. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of zinc gluconate supplementation on malnutrition and skin abnormalities.

Agenda-setting for iron deficiency anaemia prevention and control policies in Iran by multiple streams framework.

Background: According to the WHO report and evaluations, Iran has a moderate prevalence of iron deficiency anaemia (IDA). The present study evaluates Iran's IDA prevention and control policies by analysing the agenda-setting policy using the multiple streams framework (MSF).

Methods: The present study used Kingdon's MSF model to analyse policies related to IDA in Iran qualitatively.

Challenges of providing of special care services in hospitals during emergencies and disasters: a scoping review.

Background: The ability of hospitals to provide special care services for critically ill or injured patients during emergencies and disasters poses very significant challenges that necessitate the response in-place plans. the increasing frequency of such events, coupled with limited hospital resources and increasing patient volumes, underscores the urgency of addressing these issues. Specifically, this study aims to identify the challenges faced by hospitals in providing special services during disasters.

Chiral amido-oxazoline functionalized MCM-41: A sustainable heterogeneous catalyst for enantioselective Kharasch-Sosnovsky and Henry reactions.

In this study, a series of chiral amido-oxazoline ligands was synthesized with a primary focus on immobilizing the most effective ligands on MCM-41 mesoporous material. Following several attempts, the -nitro group of the chiral amido-oxazoline ligands was successfully reduced to amino group, enabling their immobilization on MCM-41. The resulting chiral heterogeneous amido-oxazoline ligands were characterized using various techniques, including FT-IR, XRD, TGA, SEM, TEM, EDX, and BET-BJH, confirming the successful immobilization of the amido-oxazoline ligands.

The comparison of efficacy of Escitalopram and Bupropion in treatment of depression symptoms in patients with heart failure: randomized clinical trial.

Objective: This study aims to compare the effects of two medicines, Escitalopram and Bupropion, on HF patients who have depression symptoms.

Methods: This double-blind randomized clinical trial study was conducted on HF patients with depression symptoms at the Heart Failure Clinics affiliated with Babol University of Medical Sciences. In this study, 80 participants were examined for depression based on the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS).
