Capitonnage Versus Non-Capitonnage in Pediatric Pulmonary Hydatid Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background And Aim: Pulmonary hydatid disease, caused by , presents significant clinical challenges, particularly in pediatric populations. Surgical intervention remains the gold standard for treatment, with various techniques employed, including capitonnage and non-capitonnage methods. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy and safety of capitonnage compared to non-capitonnage techniques in children.

The Association of Nasal and Blood Eosinophils with Serum IgE Level in Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma: A Case-Control Study.

Background And Aims: Allergic rhinitis and asthma are two common respiratory diseases with allergic etiology in the world's population. Eosinophils and serum IgE levels have been known as inflammatory allergy markers for many years. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation of nasal and blood eosinophils with serum IgE levels in allergic rhinitis and asthma patients.

Evaluation of Pro-BNP biomarker in heart failure patients and its relationship with complete blood count parameters: A case-control study.

Background And Aims: Heart failure (HF) is a growing global health concern. N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) is an established biomarker for ventricular dysfunction in heart failure (HF). This case-control study examined the relationship between brain natriuretic peptide (Pro-BNP) levels and complete blood count (CBC) parameters in HF patients and healthy controls, exploring the utility of CBC as a supplementary diagnostic tool for HF.

Ultra-Processed food intake and risk of infection: A case-control study.

The components in our food are known as one of the important risk factors for the development of () infection. A balanced diet, rich in fruits and vegetables, and free of fat, sugar, and salt, might protect people from the consequences of infection. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the associations between ultra-processed foods (UPFs) intake and the risk of infection.

Evaluating the attitudes of radiologic technology students and graduates toward their study major and career prospects: A cross-sectional study.

Background And Objectives: Understanding students' attitudes toward their study major and career prospects in healthcare is crucial. This study evaluates radiologic technology students and graduates' attitudes toward their study major and career prospects.

Methods: This cross-sectional study at Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences assessed 120 BSc radiologic technology students and graduates' attitudes toward their study major and career prospects using an online questionnaire.

Investigation of Epstein-Barr virus, Cytomegalovirus, Human herpesvirus 6, and Polyoma viruses (JC virus, BK virus) among Gastric cancer patients: A cross sectional study.

Background And Aims: Gastric cancer is a significant global issue with a high death rate. This malignancy could be associated with several viral agents such as EBV, CMV, HHV-6, JCV, and BKV.

Objective: Evaluation of EBV, CMV, HHV-6 ,and JCV, BKV frequency among gastric cancer patients.

Evaluation of the hematological inflammatory parameters in the patients with immune thrombocytopenic purpura: A case-control study.

Background And Aims: Inflammation is one of the immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)'s aggravating elements due to inflammatory cells' function. This study aims to identify and evaluate hematological inflammatory parameters, including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and hemoglobin-to-platelet ratio (HPR), in patients with ITP compared to the control group.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the profile of 190 ITP patients from August 2019 to January 2021 at Imam Reza Hospital of Mashhad, Iran, along with 100 healthy individuals who had no ITP-related clinical or laboratory symptoms.

The effect of coenzyme Q10 supplementation on liver enzymes: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials.

Coenzyme Q10 is a potent antioxidant and is necessary for energy production in mitochondria. Clinical data have suggested that coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) has some beneficial effects on liver function. However, these results are equivocal.

Healthy beverage index could decrease odds of metabolic syndrome: A cross-sectional study.

Some studies indicated that sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) were related to MetS risk, and others found no relationship between MetS and SSBs. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between healthy beverage index (HBI) and MetS in Iranian adults. This cross-sectional study was performed on baseline data FASA cohort.

Severe SARS-CoV-2 infection in a 32-week pregnant woman treated with Remdesivir-Dexamethasone combination therapy: A case report.

This study shows that remdesivir and dexamethasone combination therapy can be considered as a suitable treatment choice for pregnant women infected with COVID-19. It is worth mentioning that more studies are required to evaluate the efficacy and side effects of remdesivir monotherapy and its combination with dexamethasone during pregnancy.

Patient with recurrence dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans: A case report.

We present a typical case of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans(DFSP) with a complaint of a painful and various recurrence, make a review of the most important aspects. This is a rare tumor and we call special attention to the fact that its recurrence is extremely frequent, so there is absolute need to observe these patients periodically after surgery.
