Evidence-based policymaking for the genetic preventive interventions at the community level requires information on the effectiveness of interventions in the operational areas taking into account the characteristics of health system and customer behaviour. These information are limited in many low- and middle-income countries. In this study, we estimated the effectiveness of preventive interventions for chromosomal disorders using the conceptual framework of Iran's community genetics program (ICGP) using a Bayesian Network as a modeling method in limited access situation to the complete and accurate observational data.

Background: Health-related quality of life (HRQL) is an increasingly well-recognized measure of health outcome in cardiology. We examined HRQL as a predictor of unplanned rehospitalization for cardiac reasons in patients after coronary revascularization over a period of 3 years.

Patients And Methods: Out of 791 patients enrolled in the study, 743 completed the MacNew HRQL questionnaire after coronary revascularization.

Article Synopsis
  • Female sand flies from the subgenus Adlerius are potential vectors of visceral leishmaniasis in Iran, and this study aimed to explore their morphological and genetic variations across the country.
  • Sand flies were collected from 17 provinces between 2008 and 2010, with morphometric measurements analyzed through SPSS, and DNA diversity assessed using the Cytb gene.
  • Six species were identified, including a new species, P. (Adlerius) kabulensis, and the molecular analysis revealed genetic links between specific female and male specimens, indicating that their overlapping physical traits are not genetically distinct.

Between 2002 and 2004, the standardized 28-day protocol recently developed by the World Health Organization was used to explore the efficacy of chloroquine, in the treatment of uncomplicated, Plasmodium falciparum malaria, in five sentinel sites in southern Iran. All but 14 of the 158 patients enrolled (128, 28 and two from the provinces of Sistan-Baluchestan, Hormozgan and Kerman, respectively) were successfully followed-up. The overall frequency of treatment failure by day 28 was 78.
