Sonoelectrochemical degradation of aspirin in aquatic medium using ozone and peroxymonosulfate activated with FeS nanoparticles.

The catalytic performance of nano-FeS in the sonoelectrochemical activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and ozone to remove aspirin (ASP) was studied for the first time. The crystal structure and Fe bonds in the catalyst were confirmed through XRD and FTIR analysis. Within 30 min, ASP (TOC) was removed by 99.

Effect of "Mehrpishegan" web-based support group on depression, anxiety, and stress among elderly informal caregivers: a protocol for a randomized-controlled trial.

Background: Elderly population in low- and middle-income countries is rapidly growing, which indicates an increase in the number of dependent people needing long-term care. Caring for the elderly is difficult and stressful and threatens physical and mental health of informal caregivers. We aim to design a web-based support group and assess its effectiveness on depression, anxiety, and stress among elderly informal caregivers.

Treatment self-regulation questionnaire across three self-care behaviours: An instrument validation study in Iranian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Aim: The study aimed at testing the validity and reliability of the Persian version of the treatment self-regulation questionnaire (TSRQ-15) across healthy diet, exercise and medication-use/glucose-monitoring among Iranian people with type-2 diabetes.

Design: Cross-sectional design.

Methods: Content validity was investigated by 16 experts.

What explains gender inequality in HIV infection among high-risk people? A Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition.

Background: Despite clear evidence on role of gender in vulnerability and exposure to HIV infection, information on gender-related inequalities in HIV and related factors are rarely documented. The aim of this study was to measure gender inequality in HIV infection and its determinates in Tehran city, the capital of Iran.

Methods: The study used the data of 20,156 medical records of high-risk people who were admitted to Imam Khomeini Voluntary Counseling and Testing site in Tehran from 2004 to 2018.

Evaluation of Efficiency of Ivermectin Lotion in Comparison with Permethrin Shampoo and Dimethicone Lotion for Treatment of Head Lice () in Areas Covered by Health Centers of Islamshahr City, Tehran, Iran in 2019.

Background: Head lice infestation is known as a serious health problem in developing and developed countries. The prevalence of pediculosis in children and females is higher than others. The infestation may cause the absence of student from school and make their parents upset.

Synthesis of nano-FeS and its application as an effective activator of ozone and peroxydisulfate in the electrochemical process for ofloxacin degradation: A comparative study.

In this work, nanopyrite particles (NP) were synthesized by ball mill method and used as a novel source of Fe in the electro-activation of ozone and peroxydisulfate (PDS) for ofloxacin (OFX) removal. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analyzes were performed to characterize the as-made NP. Optimal values of operating parameters in NP/PDS and NP/O processes were obtained.

Decomposing socioeconomic inequality in poor mental health among Iranian adult population: results from the PERSIAN cohort study.

Background: Socioeconomic inequality in mental health in Iran is poorly understood. This study aimed to assess socioeconomic inequality in poor mental health among Iranian adults.

Methods: The study used the baseline data of PERSIAN cohort study including 131,813 participants from 17 geographically distinct areas of Iran.

The existence of only one haplotype of Leishmania major in the main and potential reservoir hosts of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis using different molecular markers in a focal area in Iran.

Introduction: Leishmania major is the causative agent of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (ZCL), and great gerbils are the main reservoir hosts in Iran. Abarkouh in central Iran is an emerging focal point for which the reservoir hosts of ZCL are unclear. This research project was designed to detect any Leishmania parasites in different wild rodent species.
