Background: The ganglion impar block is a minimally invasive technique used for alleviating pain associated with coccydynia.
Objectives: This research evaluates the effectiveness of the ganglion impar block in treating patients with coccydynia who have not benefited from conservative treatments.
Methods: This cross-sectional analysis reviewed the clinical records of coccydynia patients who received ganglion impar block injections at Urmia Imam Khomeini Hospital, Urmia, Iran, between 2020 and 2022.
Background: Coronary slow-flow phenomenon (CSFP), characterized by delayed distal vessel opacification of contrast, in the absence of significant epicardial coronary stenosis, has effects on exercise capacity and clinical outcomes. The aim of this study was to explore the systolic and diastolic function of patients with CSFP and to compare it with a group of controls with normal coronary anatomy and flow.
Materials And Methods: In this case-control study, 45 consecutive CSFP patients and 45 age-, body mass index-, and presentation season-matched controls with normal coronary arteries and normal coronary flows were enrolled from Seyyedoshohada Heart Center from March 2015 to March 2016.
Background: The impact of aerobic training on pulmonary function by modulating gene expression of estrogen receptor-alpha (ERα), sex hormones and 25-hydroxy vitamin D (Vit D) in postmenopausal women (PMW) with Vit D deficiency is uncertain.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of 12 weeks of moderate-intensity aerobic training on pulmonary function, ERα gene expression, serum levels of sex hormones and Vit D in PMW with Vit D deficiency.
Methods: Twenty-nine sedentary PMW with Vit D deficiency (aged 45-65 yrs) were randomized to exercise (EX, n = 15) and control (C, n = 14) groups.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 12-week of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise and 5-month detraining on electrocardiogram (ECG) indices and serum levels of 25-hydroxivitamin D (Vit D), parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium (Ca), and phosphorus (P) in postmenopausal women (PMWs).
Materials And Methods: Thirty-one PMWs (aged 50-70 yrs) were randomized to exercise (EX, n = 16) and control (C, n = 15) groups. EX group performed of 12-week of warm up- walking/jogging moderate intensity aerobic exercise training program- recovery (60 min/day, 3 days/week at 70% of maximal heart rate reserve), and then 5-month detraining remained.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of aromatherapy on cancer complications.
Methods: In this systematic review, international (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, EMBASE and CENTRAL) and national databases (SID and Magiran) were searched from inception of the databases to April 31, 2019. JBI and Jadad scales were used to assess the quality of the studies included.
Purpose: Depression in patients with breast cancer imposes huge costs to patients, families, and healthcare systems. The present study aimed at evaluating the global prevalence depression among patients with breast cancer.
Methods: In this meta-analysis, three electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus) were searched from 1 January, 2000 until 30 March, 2019.
Purpose Of Review: This meta-analysis and systematic review was conducted to evaluate hypertension and prehypertension prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control in Iranian adults population.
Recent Findings: In this study, six international and national databases were searched from inception until August 30, 2018. Forty-eight studies performed on 417,392 participants were included in the meta-analysis.
