    Abstract Background and aim: Obesity is one of the risk factors for polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and weight loss is the mainstay of treatment. This study investigates the effects of sleeve gastrectomy on clinical and paraclinical signs and symptoms of PCOS patients referred to a tertiary hospital.
    Methods: Female patients with a definite diagnosis of PCOS and body mass index (BMI) > 40 kg/m
    Results: Fifty patients enrolled in the study. The mean age of patients was 31.69 ± 9.54 years. The mean BMI before and after the surgery was 44.28 ± 3.03 and 29.37 ± 2.41 kg/m
    Conclusion: Weight loss and improvements in hyperandrogenism following sleeve gastrectomy result in clinical and paraclinical improvement of PCOS signs and symptoms, including oligomenorrhea and ovulation induction.

    Abstract Background and aim: Obesity is a global concern with several health-related complications. Bariatric surgeries are major treatment options in patients with obesity and other comorbidities. This study aims to investigate the effects of sleeve gastrectomy on metabolic indexes, hyperechogenic liver changes, inflammatory state, diabetes, and other obesity-related comorbidities remission after the sleeve gastrectomy.
    Methods: This prospective study was conducted on patients with obesity candidates for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Patients were followed for one year after the surgery. Comorbidities, metabolic and inflammatory parameters were assessed before and one- year after the surgery.
    Results: 137 patients (16 males, 44 in the DM group) underwent sleeve gastrectomy. One year after the study, obesity-related comorbidities improved significantly; diabetes had complete remission in 22.7% and partial remission in 63.6% of patients. Hyper-cholesterolemia, hyper-triglyceridemia, and hyper-uricemia also improved in 45.6%, 91.2%, and 69% of the patients. Metabolic syndrome indexes improved in 17.5% of the patients. Also, the prevalence of hyperechogenic changes in the liver has declined from 21% before the surgery to 1.5% after that. Based on logistic regression analysis, increased levels of HbA1C reduced the chance of diabetes remission by 0.9%. In comparison, every unit of increased BMI before the surgery improved the case of diabetes remission by 16%.
    Conclusion: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a safe and effective treatment option in patients with obesity and diabetes. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy alleviates BMI and insulin resistance and effectively improves other obesity-related comorbidities such as Hypercholesterolemia, hyper-triglyceridemia, hyper-uricemia, and hyperechogenic changes of the liver. HbA1C and BMI before the surgery are notable predictors of diabetes remission within the first year after the surgery.

    Abstract Medicinal plants have a special place in Iranian people’s culture, and they show a growing tendency to use natural, harmless products daily. Understanding consumers’ tastes and attitudes can contribute to proper planning for the production, marketing, and use of medicinal plants. This study aimed at determining factors affecting the consumption of medicinal plants in urban communities in the north of Iran. The instruments used in the study were a questionnaire and a face-to-face interview. The study population included 384 households selected from three districts of Gorgan City, Iran, using the simple sampling method (equal chance to select samples from the community). The collected data were analyzed using an ordinal logit model in SPSS software. The dependent variable was the monthly consumption of medicinal plant products, and the independent variables were household costs, household income, education, advertisement, plant prices, and availability. The results showed that financial power, medicinal plant quality, awareness and knowledge of medicinal plants, and preference of medicinal plants over chemical drugs with a significance level of 95% (p value < 0.05) affected the consumption of medicinal plants in the study area. The study’s results can be used for successful planning in this area based on producers, processors, and marketers of medicinal plants.

    Abstract Pastoralists inhabiting the rangeland of northern Iran are threatened by dangers like drought, cold, floods, livestock diseases, and livestock price fluctuations. Insurance offers them a promising mechanism to manage their activities. However, information on the willingness of pastoralists to take the risk or accept insurance remains unknown. To answer this question, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among pastoralists in the Kiasar rangelands from the north of Iran; 65 pastoralists were selected from a total of 200 pastoralists of the area. Data were collected using interviews and questionnaires. The variables of risk taking and the tendency to have rangeland insurance was performed based on the logit regression method using nominal and ordinal logit models. The variables of age, main occupation of the pastoralists, existence of pasture out of season, compulsory livestock and rangeland insurance, education, and access to agents (P ≤ 0.05) were included in the model as factors affecting the level of risk taking of pastoralists in the study area. The existence of pasture out of season (with an estimated coefficient equal 3.04), livestock insurance (4.86), risk taking (0.25), and the age of herder (−0.09) were the most important variables (P ≤ 0.05) affecting the willingness of pastoralists for rangeland insurance. Structural changes should be made in the behavior of insurance companies to ensure more acceptance of rangeland insurance by pastoralists. Suggested changes include a variety of insurance coverage, proportionality, and fairness of premiums (according to the income of the pastoralists), timely payment of compensation, increased availability of out of season pastures. Structural changes in the behavior of insurance companies using promotional activities would improve and promote insurance in rangelands. In general, policies that increase income, awareness, and education of pastoralists are essential in enhancing the livelihood of pastoralists in the area.

    Abstract Jagunal homolog 1 (JAGN1) has been recognized as an essential protein in neutrophil function. The mutated JAGN1 is responsible for immunodeficiency related to innate and humoral defense mechanisms. This deficiency impairs neutrophil development and function, leading to recurrent infections and facial dysmorphism as phenotypic consequences of severe congenital neutropenia (SCN). We report two siblings having the reported JAGN1 mutation with different clinical manifestations. Recurrent abscess formation unresponsive to antibiotic therapy, a history of delayed umbilical separation, frequent bacterial or fungal infection, dysmorphic face, failure to thrive, and other coexisting organ abnormalities should prompt physicians to syndromic immunodeficiencies involving neutrophils. Genetic investigations to elucidate the responsible mutation is critical as clinical management varies. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, a multi-disciplinary team should perform further workups to investigate other coexisting malformations and neurodevelopmental evaluation.

    Abstract Key clinical message: Peritoneal encapsulation is most of the time asymptomatic and is found incidentally, but when symptomatic it usually presents with bowel obstruction. CT scan is a gold standard for the diagnosis of bowel encapsulation.
    Abstract: Congenital peritoneal encapsulation (CPE), abdominal cocoon syndrome (ACS), and sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP) are syndromes in which the small bowel is encapsulated. Small bowel encapsulation is usually asymptomatic and rarely presents with small bowel obstruction. In this article, we report a 65-year-old man who presented to our hospital with signs and symptoms of small bowel obstruction. He underwent an urgent operation, and small bowel encapsulation was diagnosed. One year after the surgery, all symptoms improved.

    Abstract Background: The rectal prolapse is defined as the concentric protrusion of full or partial thickness of the rectum or rectosigmoid via the anus. This is an increasing clinical concern that is usually found in old female patients.
    Cases presentation: A 39-year-old male patient was referred due to an un-reduceable rectal projection from a week ago. The primary endeavor for reduction of the projection under sedation and after local mannitol treatment at the operation room was unsuccessful, so surgical resection and reduction were planned for the patient.
    Conclusion: Management of rectal prolapse has always been one of the challenges of colorectal surgery. For patients with incarcerated prolapse manual reduction under sedation is used. If the reduction is unsuccessful, surgical procedures are used.

    Abstract Objective: The actual impact of the pandemic on COVID-19 specific mortality is still unclear due to the variability in access to diagnostic tools. This study aimed to estimate the excess all-cause mortality in Iran until September 2021 based on the national death statistics.
    Results: The autoregressive integrated moving average was used to predict seasonal all-cause death in Iran (R-squared = 0.45). We observed a 38.8% (95% confidence interval (CI) 29.7%-40.1%) rise in the all-cause mortality from 22 June 2020 to 21 June 2021. The excess all-cause mortality per 100,000 population were 178.86 (95% CI 137.2-220.5, M:F ratio = 1.3) with 49.1% of these excess deaths due to COVID-19. Comparison of spring 2019 and spring 2021 revealed that the highest percent increase in mortality was among men aged 65-69 years old (77%) and women aged 60-64 years old (86.8%). Moreover, the excess mortality among 31 provinces of Iran ranged from 109.7 (Hormozgan) to 273.2 (East-Azerbaijan) per 100,000 population. In conclusion, there was a significant rise in all-cause mortality during the pandemic. Since COVID-19 fatality explains about half of this rise, the increase in other causes of death and underestimation in reported data should be concerned by further studies.

    Abstract Purpose: The present research was conducted to evaluate the effect of the severity of dumping syndrome (DS) on weight loss outcomes after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in patients with class III obesity.
    Methods: The present retrospective cohort study used the dumping symptom rating scale (DSRS) to evaluate the severity of DS and its correlation with weight loss outcomes in 207 patients 1 year after their RYGB. The patients were assigned to group A with mild-to-moderate DS or group B with severe DS.
    Results: The mean age of the patients was 42.18 ± 10.46 years and their mean preoperative BMI 42.74 ± 5.59 kg/m
    Conclusion: The present findings suggested insignificant relationships between the presence and severity of DS after RYGB and adequate postoperative weight loss.
