Sexuality Transmitted Infection in the COVID-19 Pandemic and Non-Pandemic Time.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization recognized the SARS-CoV-2 infection as a pandemic. The pandemic itself in addition to its containment measures affects individuals' lifestyles and welfare including their sexual behaviors. Thus, we hypothesized that sexually transmitted infection (STI) incidence may be changed and so we evaluate urethritis incidence as the most common STI in men and some other related factors.

Recurrence of a neuroendocrine tumor of adrenal origin: a case report with more than a decade follow-up.

Background: Neuroendocrine tumor (NET) with adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion are very rare. To our knowledge, no follow-up study is published for ACTH-secreting NET, regardless of the primary site, to show second occurrence of tumor after a long follow-up, following resection of primary tumor.

Case Presentation: Here, we describe a 49-year-old-man with cushingoid feature, drowsiness and quadriparesis came to emergency department at December 2005.

Current practice of percutaneous coronary intervention on patients with acute coronary syndrome in Iran: A prospective observational study.

Frequent Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) procedures are being performed on a daily basis in Iran. However, no study has been reported on the current PCI practice in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in Iran. We aimed to describe the clinical characteristics and treatment patterns in Iranian ACS patients treated with PCI.

The impact of laparoscopic cystectomy on ovarian reserve in patients with unilateral and bilateral endometrioma.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of laparoscopic cystectomy on serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level as a marker of ovarian reserve in patients with endometrioma.

Methods: A prospective observational study enrolled patients aged younger than 40 years who were referred to a tertiary center in Tehran, Iran, between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2014 to undergo laparoscopic cystectomy for ovarian endometriomas at least 30 mm in diameter, or regardless of size for patients with infertility, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, or dyschezia. Baseline and 6-month post-operative AMH levels were compared.

Penile Improvement Protocol in Postoperative Management of Patients Undergoing Metoidioplasty.

Objective: To introduce a postoperative protocol to optimize the final size of the penis in patients undergoing metoidioplasty.

Patients And Methods: Fourteen patients with the mean age of 29.3 years (8-40 ± 11.

Association of elevated frequency of micronuclei in peripheral blood lymphocytes of type 2 diabetes patients with nephropathy complications.

The increasing incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus globally has increased the incidence of diabetes-associated complications such as nephropathy. DNA damage induced by oxidative stress might be one of the important mechanisms in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. Two hundred Iranian individuals with the conditions of type 2 diabetes, diabetic nephropathy and nephropathy patients with no sign of diabetes and normal unaffected sex- and age-matched controls (50 in each group) were enrolled in the study.

Extensive Metoidioplasty as a Technique Capable of Creating a Compatible Analogue to a Natural Penis in Female Transsexuals.

Objective: To introduce the operative technique of "extensive metoidioplasty" (EM) in female transsexual surgery, for achieving an effective reconstruction of a male-appearing, normally functioning, fully sensate and erectile external genitalia.

Patients And Methods: Ten female transsexuals (46 xx karyotype) between the ages of 20 and 40 years underwent EM as their sex reassignment surgical procedure with the mean operative time of 171 min (45-211, SD 19.55 min) between 2007 and 2014 in a general hospital in Tehran, Iran.

The global registry: hope for the future.

In 2014, there is unanimous agreement that kidney transplant is the optimal treatment for most patients who have end-stage renal failure. Increasing organ shortage is the main obstacle that delays transplant and might even cause death while the patient is on the waiting list for kidney transplant. Many innovations have been proposed to increase the number of organs for transplant in different countries such as increasing awareness about organ donation, based on different cultures and religions.

Human erythropoietin effect in postoperative visual loss following spine surgery: a case report.

Introduction: Postoperative visual loss (POVL) has become the focus of attention for anesthesiologists as a hallmark of perioperative management in spine surgery. A number of Intraoperative and postoperative factors has been documented but the exact etiology is still unclear. Nowadays, perioperative management and also complete curing of POLV is a big question of ophthalmologists and anesthesiologists.

Coronary thrombosis and myocardial infarction as the initial manifestation of protein C deficiency in a 20-year-old man.

We report on a 20-year-old man who presented with an extensive acute anteroseptal myocardial infarction (from a thrombotic occlusion of the left anterior coronary artery) as the initial manifestation of hereditary protein C deficiency. This case report, along with previous reports, indicates that a diagnosis of protein C deficiency in young patients with myocardial infarctions is essential for more appropriate management and for the prevention of recurrent events. Furthermore, family screening could lead to a prophylactic approach in carriers of this mutation.

Closed tibial fracture associated with laceration of tibialis anterior tendon.

Traumatic laceration of the tibialis anterior tendon is a rare finding. To the best of our knowledge, 4 such cases have been reported in the surgical literature, and 3 of these were missed upon initial clinical examination. We present the case of a 26-year-old male motorcyclist who sustained an acute laceration of the tibialis anterior tendon in association with closed fractures of the tibia and fibula.

Simultaneous subacute coronary drug-eluting stent thrombosis in two different vessels of a patient with factor V Leiden mutation.

We review the case of a 46-year-old man who underwent elective percutaneous coronary intervention and stenting of the left anterior descending artery and right coronary artery with two sirolimus- and paclitaxel-eluting stents. Four days after angioplasty, he was readmitted with cardiogenic shock due to acute anterior and inferior myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography revealed subacute thrombosis of both stents, and balloon dilation was performed successfully thereafter.
