Article Abstract
Background: Rhesus (Rh) blood group system is clinically the most significant protein-based grouping system. The Rh system is of vital importance in blood transfusion, and incompatibility between the donor and recipient leads to alloimmunization. Alloimmunization is commonly seen in multiple-transfusion recipients (e.g. thalassemia patients). There are a few studies about the prevalence of Rh antigens, except for D, in Iran; and regarding the high prevalence of thalassemia in the country, in this study we have determined antigens and phenotypes of the Rh among population of regular blood donors with the aim of developing a detailed Rh databank.
Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study randomly enrolled 3000 regular blood donors from three provinces of Sistan-Balouchestan, Khuzestan and Gilan in Iran, from September 2018 to May 2019. A fully automated system, based on hemagglutination, was used to Rh typing of blood samples.
Results: The prevalence of Rh antigens were as follows: D: 88.9 %; E: 30.9 %; C: 74.1 %; e: 96.2 %; and c: 72.8 %. The most common antigen and phenotype were "e" and Rr (DCcee), respectively.
Conclusion: Due to the high rate of alloimmunization incidence against Rh blood group antigens among multiple transfusion recipients, development of regular blood donor's Rh databank can facilitate extensive matching for the Rh antigens and it likely reduces the risk of alloimmunization.

Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is a key functional food in the Mediterranean diet, renowned for its multiple health benefits. Rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic acid, and bioactive compounds like polyphenols and tocopherols, EVOO helps reduce LDL cholesterol, increase HDL cholesterol, and protect against oxidative stress. Regular consumption is associated with a lower incidence of cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurodegenerative diseases.

Major depression disorder (MDD) is a mental condition that significantly threatens both physical and psychological health. This study aimed to discern variances in plasma metabolic profiles between MDD sufferers and healthy counterparts. Additionally, we tracked the hospitalization journey of MDD patients to investigate the normalization of metabolic irregularities through conventional treatment in the form of self-control.

Background: The utility of routine environmental sampling to monitor the airborne fungal load (AFL) in healthcare settings is uncertain.
Methods: AFL was measured by monthly cultures at a tertiary-care pediatric hospital from November 2018 through October 2023 on eleven units caring for patients at risk for invasive mold infection (IMI). Surveillance for healthcare-associated IMI was conducted for all patients in the healthcare system using locally developed definitions for possible, probable, and definite hospital-onset infections.

Rationale: Clinical innovation-where physicians develop and use novel interventions that differ significantly from standard practice and that have not been shown to be sufficiently safe or effective for regular use in healthcare systems-has the potential to transform patient care and drive medical advancement. However, it is not without risk. It is important, therefore, that policymakers and healthcare institutions develop strategies to encourage responsible clinical innovation.

Background: Nodular hidradenoma (NH) is a rare benign adnexal tumor originating from sweat glands, often misdiagnosed due to nonspecific clinical manifestations. Ultrasonography (US) plays a critical role in the diagnosis of skin tumors, yet systematic descriptions of its sonographic features remain limited.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the very-high-frequency (VHF) characteristics of eccrine nodular hidradenoma (ENH) and establish key imaging criteria to differentiate it from other cutaneous/subcutaneous lesions.
