Electromagnetic intensity investigation of emitted non-ionizing radiation from base transcriptive stations in the urban region of southern Iran.

Their monitoring in urban regions is essential for policymakers and the population. In this study, the electromagnetic intensity (EMI) was measured around 30 stations of base transcriptive stations (BTS) at both distances lower than 20m and higher than 200m using real-time equipment SMP2-dual in summer and winter. Results have shown that EMI in summer (range: 2-6500 mW/m2) was more than in winter (1.

A Bayesian approach to reveal the role of psychological factors on turnover intention among nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: Turnover intention is considered a significant challenge for healthcare and treatment organizations. The challenging conditions of treating COVID-19 patients and the physical and mental stress imposed on nurses during the pandemic may lead them to leave their jobs. The present study aimed to determine the role of psychological factors (general health, mental workload, work-family conflicts, and resilience) on turnover intention using a Bayesian approach during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The effects of chitosan-loaded JQ1 nanoparticles on OVCAR-3 cell cycle and apoptosis-related gene expression.

Background And Purpose: Ovarian cancer is the deadliest gynecological cancer. Bromodomain and extra terminal domain (BET) proteins play major roles in the regulation of gene expression at the epigenetic level. Jun Qi (JQ1) is a potent inhibitor of BET proteins.

Exploring the combined impact of cisplatin and copper-cysteamine nanoparticles through Chemoradiation: An in-vitro study.

Copper-Cysteamine nanoparticles (Cu-Cy NPs) have emerged as promising radiosensitizers in cancer treatment. This study aims to investigate the combined therapeutic effect of these nanoparticles and cisplatin using a clinical linear accelerator to enhance the efficacy of chemoradiation therapy for cervical cancer. Following successful synthesis and characterization of Cu-Cy NPs, the cytotoxicity effect of these nanoparticles and cisplatin in various concentrations was evaluated on HeLa cancer cells, individually and in combination.

Accumulation, sources, and health risks of phthalic acid esters (PAEs) in road dust from heavily industrialized, urban and rural areas in southern Iran.

In this research, a total of 51 road dust samples were collected from three districts (Asaluyeh, Bushehr, and Goshoui) in the south of Iran from April to June 2022 and analyzed for the concentration of 7 phthalic acid esters (PAEs) compounds. Asaluyeh was considered as an industrial area (near gas and petrochemical industries), Bushehr as an urban area, and Goshoui as a rural area (far from pollution sources). The PAEs concentration of the street dust samples was determined using a mass detection gas chromatography (GC/MS).

Comparison of the Effect of Chlordiazepoxide and Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation on Blood Potassium Loss Due to Preoperative Anxiety.

Purpose: This study evaluated and compared the effect of chlordiazepoxide and transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) on changes in blood potassium levels caused by preoperative anxiety.

Design: This randomized, double-blind placebo control study was performed on 100 patients undergoing surgery with the American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status (ASA I) who went through surgery for the first time.

Methods: Patients were classified into four groups of real or sham tACS, chlordiazepoxide, and placebo.

Further evidence to support acute and chronic anti-inflammatory effects of .

Background And Purpose: Previously, we reported the anti-inflammatory properties of (watercress) in several models of acute inflammation. This study was designed to explore the effects of topical and systemic administrations of in the two chronic inflammatory models and to evaluate the role of TNF-α and IL-1β in these effects.

Experimental Approach: Folin-Ciocalteu and aluminum chloride methods were used to estimate the extract's total phenol and flavonoid content, respectively.

Effect of ethanolic extract of Benth on subacute experimental models of inflammation and some underlying mechanisms.

Background And Purpose: This study was designed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activities of S. pilifera (HESP) in two sub-acute models of inflammation and clarified some possible mechanisms.

Experimental Approach: Colorimetric methods were used to determine total phenol and flavonoid contents.

The Khuzestan Comprehensive Health Study (KCHS): Methodology and Profile of Participants.

Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide, with a disproportionally rising burden among low- and middle-income populations. While preventable risk factors highly contribute to this burden, population-based studies assessing these factors and the health status of these populations, are scarce.

Methods: The Khuzestan Comprehensive Health Study (KCHS)-a cross sectional study-was conducted between 2016-2019, including 30,506 Iranians aged 20 to 65 years, from 27 counties of Khuzestan province, southwest of Iran.

Knowledge and Attitude of Iranian Youth Toward AIDS: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis in Iran.

This study aims to assess the knowledge and attitude toward the human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immune deficiency syndrome among youths in Iran. We conducted a systematic review, searching online databases until July 2018, focusing on knowledge and attitudes about the human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immune deficiency syndrome in Iranian youths.

Comparison of the Effect of Massage Therapy and Isometric Exercises on Primary Dysmenorrhea: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

Study Objective: Dysmenorrhea is the most common cyclic pelvic pain, and it affects the quality of life of many women. We sought to compare the effects of massage and isometric exercises on primary dysmenorrhea.

Design, Setting, And Participants: We conducted a randomized controlled trial at the dormitories of Shiraz University among 102 students with primary dysmenorrheal.

The Effect of Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation on Maternal Depression during Pregnancy: A Double Blind Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.
