The Main Features of Resilience in Healthcare Providers: A Scoping Review.

Resilience refers to the capacity for suitable responding to stress in achieving the objectives at the least physical and psychological costs. The present review aims to illustrate the individual and contextual features of resilience improvement in healthcare professions. A scoping review was conducted according to the PRISMA-ScR guidelines and searching the online databases as PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar from January 2014 to December 2020 using a combination of MESH and EMTREE entry terms and free keywords.

The safety and efficacy of umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells in individuals with spastic cerebral palsy: a randomized double-blind sham-controlled clinical trial.

Introduction: The current multi-center, randomized, double-blind study was conducted among children with cerebral palsy (CP) to assess the safety and efficacy of umbilical cord blood mononuclear cell (UCB-MNC). We performed the diffusion tensor imaging to assess the changes in the white matter structure.

Methods: Males and females aged 4 to 14 years old with spastic CP were included.

A Systematic Review of Self-Reported Outcome Measures Assessing Disability Following Hand and Upper Extremity Conditions in Persian Population.

Background: Disability following hand and upper extremity conditions is common. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROs) are used to capture patients' status subjectively. This review has aimed to synthesis the literature regarding the extent and methodological quality of translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and psychometric properties of the hand and upper extremity disability PROs in the Persian language.

The Relationship between Spiritual Intelligence and Resiliency of Rehabilitation Staff.

This research aims to determine the relationship between spiritual intelligence and resiliency of rehabilitation staff. The reliable and validated spiritual intelligence and CD-RISC resiliency and demographic scales were used to collect data. There is a significant relationship between spiritual intelligence and the resiliency of rehabilitation staff (r = 0.

The Iranian Psychiatric Nurses' Perception of Transition in Psychiatric Wards: A Qualitative Study.

Background: Transition means moving from one period to another and it is usually associated with significant changes in objectives, roles, and responsibilities. Considering the challenges of the psychiatric ward, psychiatric nurses experience numerous problems, especially at the early stages of their job engagement. This study aimed to examine the perception of the Iranian psychiatric nurses in psychiatric wards and their transition period.

Effect of gap detection threshold on consistency of speech in children with speech sound disorder.

Background And Aims: The present study examined the relationship between gap detection threshold and speech error consistency in children with speech sound disorder.

Methods And Procedures: The participants were children five to six years of age who were categorized into three groups of typical speech, consistent speech disorder (CSD) and inconsistent speech disorder (ISD).The phonetic gap detection threshold test was used for this study, which is a valid test comprised six syllables with inter-stimulus intervals between 20-300ms.

Effect of Ginger and Chamomile on Nausea and Vomiting Caused by Chemotherapy in Iranian Women with Breast Cancer.

Background: Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) places a significant burden on the patient. Herbal agents are the most commonly complementary therapies used among the public. This study was done to determine the effect of ginger and chamomile capsules on nausea and vomiting in cases undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer (BC).

Effects of Acellular Amniotic Membrane Matrix and Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Improving Random Skin Flap Survival in Rats.

Background: The necrotic skin flap represents a great challenge in plastic and reconstructive surgery. In this study, we evaluated the effect of bioscaffolds, acellular amniotic membranes (AAMs), and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) on random skin flap (RSF) survival in rats by applying a cell-free extracellular matrix scaffold as a supportive component for the growth and proliferation of BM-MSCs on RSFs. AAM matrix scaffolds were created by incubating AMs in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid 0.

Improved viability of random pattern skin flaps with the use of bone marrow mesenchymal-derived stem cells and chicken embryo extract.

Objectives: Covering tissue defects using skin flaps is a basic surgical strategy for plastic and reconstructive surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of chicken embryo extract (CEE) and bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) on random skin flap survival (RSF) in rats. Using chicken embryo extract can be an ideal environment for the growth and proliferation of transplanted cells.

The effectiveness of using reinforcements in the classroom on the academic achievement of students with intellectual disabilities.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of two kinds of reinforcements, tangible reinforcements and social reinforcements, on the academic achievement of eighth-grade female students with intellectual disabilities in the science subject. The study was an experimental method by pretest, with a control group. The participants of the study comprised 45 female students with intellectual disabilities from three different middle schools in the province of Tehran.

Rehabilitation Needs of People with Cerebral Palsy: a qualitative Study.

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) describes a group of disorders regarding the development of movement and posture, which causes limitations in activity. In fact, it is attributed to non-progressive disturbances that occur during brain development in fetus or infant. CP disorders may accompany by speech, auditory, visual abnormality, seizure, learning disorder, mental retardation and etc.

The Effects of Stabilization and Mckenzie Exercises on Transverse Abdominis and Multifidus Muscle Thickness, Pain, and Disability: A Randomized Controlled Trial in NonSpecific Chronic Low Back Pain.

[Purpose] This study compared the effectiveness of stabilization and McKenzie exercises on pain, disability, and thickness of the transverse abdominis and multifidus muscles in patients with nonspecific chronic low back pain. [Subjects] Thirty patients were randomly assigned into two groups: the McKenzie and stabilization exercise groups. [Methods] Before and after intervention, pain, disability, and thickness of the transverse abdominis and multifidus muscles were evaluated by visual analogue scale, functional rating index, and sonography, respectively.

Identification of a nonsense mutation in the very low-density lipoprotein receptor gene (VLDLR) in an Iranian family with dysequilibrium syndrome.

We have investigated a consanguineous Iranian family with eight patients who suffer from mental retardation, disturbed equilibrium, walking disability, strabismus and short stature. By autozygosity mapping we identified one region with a significant LOD score on chromosome 9(p24.2-24.

Response time as an index for selective auditory cognitive deficits.

The full or partial recovery of cognitive functions following brain lesions is believed to rely on the recruitment of alternative neural networks. This has been shown anatomically for selective auditory cognitive functions (Adriani et al. 2003b).

Emerging issues in speech therapy in Iran.

This report is a short review of the form and content of speech and language therapy services and the trend of their institutionalization in Iran. A summary of formal education in speech and language therapy in Iran as originated by establishing a 4-year BS rehabilitation program in the College of Rehabilitation Sciences in Tehran is given. Since then, speech and language rehabilitation programs have been expanding both in size and quality, resulting in about 1,000 speech therapists practicing in hospitals and rehabilitation centers throughout the country.
