Article Synopsis
- The study explored brain disorders, specifically hypoxia, among methadone users compared to opium users and a control group using MRI scans.
- Significant hypoxia was found in 16.7% of methadone users, while no hypoxia was detected in the other groups; MRI revealed abnormal brain imaging patterns within this subset.
- The researchers recommend routine MRI monitoring for methadone users, stricter regulations on non-prescription methadone, and better public health education to address misuse risks.
Background And Aims: Considering the increasing prevalence of dental services in the community and the impossibility of identifying each infected patient, hand sanitation is the most critical factor in controlling infection in these centers. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of educational intervention on the hand health behavior of the staff of Tehran dentistry clinics based on the health belief model (HBM).
Methods: In this quasi-experimental study in 2017, 128 employees of the health centers were selected through a multistage sampling method and they were placed in two groups of intervention and control (each 64 people).
