Determining Potential Risk Factors for Epilepsy in Children with Neonatal Hypoglycemia.

Objectives: Identifying neonates at risk for hypoglycemia and establishing treatment protocols to prevent potential neurological complications are essential. This study aims to investigate the possible risk factors for epilepsy in children with a history of neonatal hypoglycemia in North Khorasan Province.

Materials & Methods: This case-control study analyzed 64 children with a previous history of neonatal hypoglycemia between 2017 and 2021 in North Khorasan Province.

Comparative Efficacy of Intravenous Ketamine and Tramadol in Reducing Postspinal Anesthesia Shivering in Urological Surgeries: A Triple-blind Randomized Clinical Trial.

Objective: Shivering is one of the most common complications due to disturbances in the thermoregulatory system after regional anesthesia, leading to adverse outcomes and decreased patient satisfaction. Ketamine and tramadol are considered mild analgesics that affect the thermoregulatory center. This triple-blind, randomized clinical trial aims to explore the comparative efficacy of intravenous ketamine and tramadol in reducing postspinal anesthesia shivering in high-risk urological surgeries.

A community based intervention to modify preventive behaviors of cutaneous leishmaniasis in children: a randomized controlled trial based on PRECEDE PROCEED model.

Objectives: Iran ranks among the top six countries globally with a significant incidence of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL). Using planning models is one community-based intervention to promote preventive behaviors. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the PRECEDE-PROCEED model (PPM) in modifying preventive behaviors related to CL in children through mother training in a community intervention.

Relationship Between Low Expressions of tRNA-Derived Fragments with Metastatic Behavior of Colorectal Cancer.

Purpose: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most commonly diagnosed malignant tumors and highly heterogeneous diseases. More recently, RNA expression profiles have been used as prognostic cancer markers. In this regard, the expression of small non-coding RNAs like tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs) in tumor tissue has potential diagnostic values in metastatic cancer.

Investigation on factors associated with ovarian cancer: an umbrella review of systematic review and meta-analyses.

Following cervical and uterine cancer, ovarian cancer (OC) has the third rank in gynecologic cancers. It often remains non-diagnosed until it spreads throughout the pelvis and abdomen. Identification of the most effective risk factors can help take prevention measures concerning OC.

Effects of different invitation strategies on participation in a cohort study of Iranian public sector employees: a cluster randomized trial.

Background: Identifying strategies to optimize participation in health studies is one of the major concerns for researchers. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of different invitation strategies on participation rate in the Employees' Health Cohort Study of Iran (EHCSIR).

Methods: Two cluster-randomized trials were carried out to assess the outcomes of different invitation strategies.

Molecular and seroepidemiological survey on Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus in Northeast of Iran.

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a prevalent tick-borne disease in different regions of Iran. This molecular and serologic study was performed to investigate the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) in collected ticks and in blood samples of some domestic animals in North Khorasan, Northeast of Iran. In this cross sectional study, 136 blood samples from domestic animals (sheep, goats, and cows) collected in the Northeast region in Iran were examined using IgG ELISA assay.
