    Abstract Introduction: Pain after surgery is an unpleasant experience. This process causes physiological disorders in all systems of the body. Methods: In this randomized double-blind clinical trial study, 60 patients with anesthesia class I and II underwent upper limb orthopedic surgery. Patients were randomly divided into intravenous and control ibuprofen. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure and heart rate before surgery, 1, 10 and 20 minutes after surgery were recorded. Pain was measured before, 6, 12 and 24 hours after surgery. Results: Ibuprofen and control groups were similar in terms of gender, age, BMI and ASA. The results of Chi-square test showed that in recovery and 6 and 12 hours after surgery, pain in patients in the ibuprofen group was significantly less than the control group (P <0.05). Also, the intragroup pain trend was significant in ibuprofen and control groups (P <0.05). Mean pain in ibuprofen group decreased more than control (P <0.001). Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that intravenous ibuprofen is better in controlling pain intensity and drug use than the control group. Ibuprofen seems to be very effective in controlling pain and postoperative drug use in orthopedic surgeries.

    Abstract Despite the rapid application of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, target sequencing in regions of the genome is often required to diagnose many genetic diseases. Target enrichment can be an effective factor in reducing the cost of sequencing and the duration of sequencing. Recently, several clustered system regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-based methods (amplification-free sequencing) have been developed to target enrichment in combination with one of the NGS platforms. CRISPR-based target enrichment strategies act as an auxiliary tool to improve NGS analytical performance, thereby indirectly facilitating nucleic acid detection. The direct DNA cleavage approach by CRISPR-CRISPR-associated (Cas) at genome-specific sites enhances the possibility of separating native large fragments from disease-related genomic regions. The CRISPR-Cas can isolate the target region without any amplification; subsequently, long-read sequencing technologies were also implemented. These methods, as promising tools, have the ability to assess genetic and epigenetic composition for clinical application and treatment responses in cancer precision medicine. By modifying CRISPR-based enrichment protocols, it is possible to identify different types of mutations, including structural variants, short tandem repeats, fusion genes, and mobile elements. The Cas9 can specifically eliminate wild-type sequences, and it also enables the enrichment and detection of small amounts of tumor DNA fragments among the highly heterogeneous fragments of wild-type DNA.

    Abstract Introduction: Postoperative pain is an unpleasant experience. This process causes physiological disorders in all systems of the body. Clonidine as an alpha dual agonist is one of the drugs used to control pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Therefore, this study was performed to evaluate the effect of oral clonidine on pain control and opioid use after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: In this randomized double-blind clinical trial study, 50 patients with class I and II anesthesia underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients were randomly divided into oral and control clonidine groups. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure and intraoperative heart rate were recorded. Pain was measured in recovery, 6, 12 and 24 hours after surgery. Postoperative drug use was recorded in both groups. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software version 21 and using descriptive and inferential statistical tests. Results: The studied groups are similar in terms of demographic variables of age, weight, height, body mass index and gender. The results of chi-square test showed that there was a significant difference between clonidine and control groups in terms of pain at zero, 6 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours. (P<0.001). The results of chi-square test showed that there was a significant difference between the control and clonidine groups in receiving pethidine. Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that oral clonidine is more effective in controlling pain intensity and drug use than the control group. Oral clonidine laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery seems to be effective in controlling pain and postoperative drug use.

    Abstract Patients with COVID-19 have shown melatonin deficiency. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of administration oral melatonin in patients with COVID-19-induced pneumonia. Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive melatonin plus standard treatment or standard treatment alone. The primary outcomes were mortality rate and requirement of IMV. The clinical status of patients was recorded at baseline and every day over hospitalization based on seven-category ordinal scale from 1 (discharged) to 7 (death). A total of 226 patients (109 in the melatonin group and 117 in the control group) were enrolled (median age; in melatonin group: 54.60 ± 11.51, in control group: 54.69 ± 13.40). The mortality rate was 67% in the melatonin group and 94% in the control group (OR; 7.75, 95% CI, 3.27-18.35, P < 0.001). The rate of IMV requirement was 51.4% in the melatonin group and 70.9% in the control group, for an OR of 2.31 (95% CI, 1.34-4.00, P < 0.001). The median number of days to hospital discharge was 15 days (13-17) in the melatonin group and 21 days (14-24) in the control group (OR; 5.00, 95% CI, 0.15-9.84, P = 0.026). Time to clinical status improvement by ≥ 2 on the ordinal scale in was 12 days (9-13) in the melatonin group and 16 days (10-19) in the control group (OR; 3.92, 95% CI, 1.69-6.14, P = 0.038). Melatonin significantly improved clinical status with a safe profile in patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia.

    Abstract Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of using 3D printing models in the learning process of orbital anatomy and pathology by ophthalmology residents.
    Methods: A quasi-experimental study was performed with 24 residents of ophthalmology at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences. Each stratum was randomized into two groups. The educational booklets were distributed, and various forms of orbital 3D models were printed from orbital computed tomography (CT) scans. Knowledge enhancement on the topics was measured by comparing pretest and posttest scores.
    Results: Thirteen residents who were trained using traditional methods were deemed the control group; while 11 residents who were trained using the 3D printed models were classed as the intervention group. The control group was younger than the intervention group (
    Conclusion: This study is the first one in Iran quantifying the effects of learning using 3D printed models in medical education. In fact, 3D modeling training is seemingly effective in teaching ophthalmic residents. As residents have never encountered such technology before, their experience using 3D models proved to be satisfactory and had a surprising positive effect on the learning process through visual training.

    Abstract Purpose: To systematically review the recent alternative medical interventions on renal colic pain and compare their efficiency with conventional treatments.
    Materials and methods: This was a systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) study, based on the PRISMA guidelines on online databases of PubMed, Scopus, and web of science. We quarried these databases with relevant keywords for clinical trial studies that aimed at reducing renal colic pain in patients refereeing to the ED from after January 2011 to February 2022. Randomized clinical trials that used the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for assessment of renal colic pain before and after medical interventions in adult patients were included in this study. NMA was conducted based on the continuous values of the mean difference of the pain after 30 and 60 minutes of the medication administration.
    Results: Twenty-four studies that were meeting the inclusion criteria were included in our review with 2724 adult participants who were mostly male. Study arms included conventional medications (NSAID, Opioid, paracetamol), ketamine, MgSo4, desmopressin, and lidocaine. Based on the qualitative synthesis, ten studies (41.7%) did not find significant differences between conventional and alternative treatments. Also, there is no agreement on some more recent medications like using ketamine or desmopressin while MgSO4 and lidocaine use are supported by most studies. NMA revealed that desmopressin is significantly having worse pain reduction properties. NMA did not show any difference between ketamine, lidocaine, and MgSo4, versus the conventional treatment.
    Conclusion: To conclude, lidocaine and MgSo4 might be good alternative treatments for renal colic when conventional treatments are contraindicated or pain is not responding to those. Ketamine might be indicated in patient-based circumstances. Desmopressin may be agreeably avoided in further research or clinics.

    Abstract Introduction: Hypotension, bradycardia and even cardiac arrest are considered as risk factors for spinal anesthesia. Cardiac arrest due to neuraxial anesthesia requires rapid intervention to prevent neurological damages and death. Introducing the patient: A 91year-old patient referred to the operating room of Jahrom Peymanieh Hospital, because of previous operation of femoral neck fracture and bed ridden with bed sore in the sacrum area. The patient did not show any significant problems during the spinal anesthesia during the operation, but at the end of the operation and after changing his lateral position to supine position suffered a cardio-respiratory arrest, which immediately we began the CPR and after recovery of the patient, he transferred to the ICU. Conclusion: When patients position changed from lateral to supine, a possibility of cardiopulmonary arrest, especially in the elderly.
