    Abstract Introduction: Fatigue is a highly prevalent debilitating symptom among patients with multiple sclerosis (PwMS), which markedly affects the quality of life. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of extended-release fampridine on fatigue in PwMS.
    Methods: This was a randomized, double-blind clinical trial on 77 PwMS with a complaint of fatigue, aged over 18 years old, randomized to extended-release fampridine (n = 44) or placebo (n = 35) for 12 weeks. Fatigue and motor function were assessed at baseline and end point.
    Results: A total of 88 patients were recruited, of whom 77 were analyzed. 80.5% were female, with a median age of 38. 87% were diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) with a median disease duration of 96 months. Fingolimod (37.7%) was considered the most frequently used DMT, followed by ani-CD20s (32.5%). The total median MFIS score was 43.5 and 37 in the fampridine and placebo groups which were not significantly different (p > 0.05). After 12 weeks, the total MFIS improved in both groups compared to the baseline, which was significant in the active group (p = 0.04). However, the final end point total MFIS was still comparable between the two groups (p = 0.11).
    Conclusion: The present study revealed a positive short-term effect of extended-release fampridine on MFIS in PwMS. However, this effect was not significantly superior to the placebo.

    Abstract Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted global health and presented challenges to maintaining oral health in children. Efficient management and prevention of oral diseases are therefore crucial in this population.
    Aim: This cross-sectional study aimed to assess parents' self-reported oral and dental hygiene habits for their children during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Methods: A total of 256 parents of primary school children in Qazvin completed an online questionnaire containing demographic, general, and cardinal questions. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 22 software, and accurate analytical tests were run to reach the results.
    Results: The study found that 69.1% of parents and 87.1% of children brushed their teeth regularly during the pandemic. Additionally, 80.5% of parents monitored their children while brushing. While some parents expressed concerns about COVID-19 infection, parents from lower socioeconomic status reported a higher willingness to attend dental centers than those from more prosperous areas.
    Conclusion: These findings suggest that parents' supervision and attitude toward oral health care significantly affect children's oral hygiene habits during the pandemic, possibly due to increased time spent together during lockdowns.

    Abstract Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis are often colonized by Candida species with high possibility of fungal infections. The purposes of this study were to determine the prevalence of Candida species, evaluate antifungal susceptibility profile, biofilm formation, proteinase and phospholipase activities, and the frequency of virulence genes in the Candida species isolated from the oral mucosa of hemodialysis diabetic (DM) and non-diabetic (non-DM) patients.
    Methods: This study identified several species of Candida isolated from 69 DM and 58 non-DM patients on hemodialysis using phenotypic methods and PCR-RFLP technique. The identification of C. albicans and C. glabrata complex was performed by HWP1 gene and four oligonucleotides (UNI-5.8S, GLA-f, BRA-f, and NIV-f), respectively. Antifungal susceptibility to amphotericin B, fluconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, and caspofungin was assessed according to CLSI M27-A3/S4. The biomass, metabolic activity of biofilm, proteinase (P
    Results: Candida prevalence was 44.9% with 47.8% and 41.4% among DM and non-DM patients, respectively (P = .045). The species identified were C. albicans (49.5%), C. glabrata (16.5%), C. tropicalis (12%), C. kefyr (8.8%), C. parapsilosis (6.6%), C. dubliniensis (3.3%), and C. lusitaniae (3.3%). The antifungal susceptibility profile showed that all Candida isolates were sensitive to amphotericin B, itraconazole, voriconazole, and caspofungin whereas fluconazole resistance was observed in 6.3% (MIC ≥ 64 μg/mL) of C. albicans and 6.6% of C. glabrata (MIC ≥ 64 μg/mL). The susceptible- dose-dependent rate was found in 10.5% of C. albicans. The P
    Conclusions: These results showed the importance of prevalence of NAC species in hemodialysis patients. Investigating antifungal susceptibility profile made a better understanding of the role of virulence markers in the pathogenesis of Candida strains.

    Abstract Background and purpose: Sexual health means coordination and adaptation of physical, emotional, intellectual and social aspects of human beings. One of the variables that affect sexual function and sexual satisfaction is health literacy. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between health literacy level and sexual function in married women in Qazvin health centers.
    Methods: In the cross-sectional study, 340 married women were selected from four health centers in Qazvin, Iran, in 2020. These selected centers were chosen randomly from 26 health centers. Participants were included in the study by using the proportional selection method based on the sample size of the all health centers. Data collection tools include three questionnaires: demographic information, The Health Literacy Questionnaire (HELIA), and Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). Data were analyzed using SPSS 24 software. A significance level of P < 0.05 was considered for statistical analyses.
    Results: The highest and lowest scores of dimension's sexual function are satisfaction, pain, and lubricant, respectively. The level of women's health literacy in Qazvin was inadequate and borderline (56.4%). Each of the sexual function dimensions had significant positive correlations with health literacy (P < 0.001). There was a significant relationship between health literacy level with age, education, and occupation (P < 0.05). According to linear regression analysis, with the increase in years of marriage, sexual function is decreased (P < 0.02).
    Conclusion: Health literacy was inadequate in more than half of the study sample and health literacy was significantly associated with sexual function. Educational programs were necessary in order to promote women's health literacy in health centers.

    Abstract Introduction: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is one of the most important diagnostic tools in maxillofacial imaging. Nowadays different sealers are used in root canal therapy and some of them can create artifact in CBCT images. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different sealers including AH-26, Diadent, and Anyseal in creation of artifact bands in the CBCT images based on voxel size.
    Methods and materials: A total of 44 single rooted extracted teeth were selected. The canals were prepared by crown-down technique. All teeth were manually filed up to master apical file (MAF) size 45 and 1 mm shorter than the apical foramen. The teeth were divided into 4 equal groups. The canals were filled with gutta-percha and either of sealers AH-26, Diadent or Anyseal by lateral condensation technique. The control group were filled just with gutta-percha without any sealer. The CBCT images were taken in voxel sizes of 0.3 and 0.15. The Fisher exact and McNemar tests were used for statistical analysis.
    Results: Although, the control group had the lowest ratio of presence to absence of artifact, the ratio of presence to absence of artifact in voxel size of 0.3 and 0.15 mm were significantly lower in Anyseal than AH-26 (

    Abstract Introduction: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of different educational tools for knowledge enhancement of elementary school staff about the management of traumatic dental injuries (TDIs).
    Materials and methods: This quasi-experimental (pretest-posttest) study was conducted on 126 elementary school staff in Qazvin city, who were randomly selected by the cluster sampling in 2020. The baseline knowledge level of the participants about TDIs was assessed by an online questionnaire. Next, they were randomized into the poster, video clip, and no-intervention control groups (56 samples in each group). An informatory poster and a video clip about TDIs were sent to the participants in the first two groups, respectively, through the WhatsApp instant messaging app, and the knowledge level of the three groups was assessed again after 3 weeks. Data were analyzed by ANOVA, McNemar test, chi-square test, and
    Results: A significant correlation was noted between the baseline knowledge level of the participants and their educational level, participation in first aid courses covering TDIs, and history of encountering TDIs (
    Conclusion: Despite the low-baseline knowledge level of the elementary school staff in Qazvin city about TDIs, their knowledge level significantly improved after the educational interventions.
