Background And Aim: Refractive errors, amblyopia, strabismus, and low vision are more common among children with hearing impairments in comparison with their hearing peers. Neglecting visual disorders can pose educational and social problems for these children. The present study aimed to assess the prevalence of refractive errors, amblyopia, strabismus, and low vision among hearing-impaired and deaf students in Kermanshah.

- Approximately 350 million people worldwide are affected by hepatitis B, and 71 million by hepatitis C, with those in custody having higher risks, yet data on Iranian prisons is limited.
- A study in Zahedan central prison assessed 407 inmates to determine the prevalence of hepatitis B and C, using diagnostic techniques like ELISA and PCR.
- The findings revealed a prevalence of 10.6% for hepatitis B and 2.7% for hepatitis C, with risk factors including tattooing, marriage, family history of hepatitis, and intravenous drug use, highlighting the need for targeted interventions in prisons.
Introduction: Appropriate information about the ability of patients with Parkinson disease (PD) to perform cognitive instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) is necessary. The present study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Penn Parkinson daily activities questionnaire-15 (PDAQ-15).
Methods: A total of 165 knowledgeable informants of PD patients completed the PDAQ-15.
Objectives: Sensory processing and sleep quality affect children's academic performance and their quality of life. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between sensory processing patterns and sleep quality in primary school children.
Materials & Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 231 primary school students aged 7 to 12 years old (133 girls and 98 boys, the mean age of 8.
Purpose: Traffic accidents are one of the major health problems in the world, being the first cause of burden of illness and the second leading cause of death in Iran. The Sistan-Baluchestan province is one of the most accidental provinces of Iran with the highest rate of accidents-caused deaths. This study was conducted to determine the risk factors associated with traffic accidents in Zahedan through 2013 to 2016.

Methods: In this study, 139 participants (43 with diabetes mellitus, and 96 age-matched controls) were recruited from a retina subspecialist clinic in Qazvin, Iran, from September 2016 to March 2017. The stereo-acuities were measured following subjective refraction by Titmus and TNO tests at 40 cm.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of direction of kinesio taping of wrist flexor muscles on force sense. Forty-five healthy women took part in this study, in three groups: kinesio taping application from origin to insertion (OI group) or from insertion to origin (IO group), and no kinesio taping (control group). Absolute and relative force sense errors were calculated with 50% maximal grip strength as the target force value.

Methods: Myopic patients with at least 1 diopter (D) of anisometropia in sphere, astigmatism, or spherical equivalent who were referred to our hospital for excimer refractive surgery were enrolled as a prospective sequential interventional case series. All patients underwent wavefront-guided photorefractive keratectomy (WFG-PRK) using the Technolas Perfect Vision (217z) Excimer laser machine.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the immediate effects of a single massage session on hand grip strength and endurance after isometric exercise in healthy young men under controlled conditions.
Methods: A total of 44 healthy young men from a university population participated in the study. They were randomized to receive either massage or passive movement intervention.
