Abstract	Background: Post-extubation-atelectasis (PEA) is a common problem after the removal of an endotracheal tube in neonates which increases the rate of extubation failure. Different techniques have been introduced for the prevention of PEA. One technique is the removal of the endotracheal tube by negative or positive gradients of pressure. No RCT has yet been done to compare the use of these two methods in neonates. So this study aimed to compare the role of positive and negative pressure during extubation of neonates on the prevention of PEA. Materials and methods: We enrolled 100 newborns in this RCT that required at least 24 h of mechanical ventilation. The endotracheal tube in one group was removed by a T-Piece resuscitator at a PEEP level of 5 CmH2o while in another group extubation was done applying suction pressure of 100 mmHg by random selection. Prevalence of PEA in CXRs after extubation was compared between the two groups. Results: The prevalence of PEA in the extubation of the positive pressure group (24%) was significantly lower than that of the negative pressure group (46%) (p = 0.024). Extubation failure was found to be lower in the positive pressure group (6% versus 20% P = 0.037). No significant difference was observed between the two groups in the prevalence of apnea, pneumothorax, and death at 3 days after extubation. Conclusion: The use of positive pressure during removal of the endotracheal tube in newborn infants reduced the rate of PEA compared with the negative pressure so extubation by a positive pressure is recommended in neonates.

Abstract	Background: Evaluation of protease inhibitors (PIs) is important in terms of prescribing an effective regimen for reducing mortality and hospitalization in Covid-19. Therefore, follow-up of patients better determines the characteristics of existing regimens. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the demographic, co-morbidities, gastrointestinal (GI) and liver complications of patients at two teaching hospitals from the first of March to the end of July 2020. All patients received one of two recommended regimens including hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) (400 mg BD on the first day and then 200 mg BD) plus atazanavir/ritonavir (ATV) (300/100 mg daily) or HCQ with the same dose plus lopinavir/ritonavir (Kaletra) (400/100 mg BD) for 5-7 days. Results: We chose 170 cases that received 2 different regimens. In group one, 85(57.6% males) patients received Kaletra and HCQ and group two, 85 (55.3% males) patients received ATV and HCQ. The study of hospitalization in both groups showed no difference in more or less than 5 days hospitalization. (P=0.757) Comparison of mortality rates has not shown a significant difference including 19 (22.4%) deaths in group 1 and 15(17.6%) deaths in group 2 (P=0.443). Nausea followed by diarrhea was the most common side effects in group 1. But no side effects were reported in group 2 (P=0.000). Abnormal liver function tests (LFTs) were seen in both groups. Conclusion: Comparison of hospitalization and mortality were not statistically significant. It seems that a respect to similar effect on mortality and hospitalization. ATV regimen is superior to Kaletra especially for better GI tolerance and less daily pills.

Abstract	Background: Psoriasis is nowadays regarded as a systemic inflammatory disorder. Among the topicals, vitamin D derivates are often applied on the skin for their anti-inflammatory and immune-modulatory properties. Vitamin D serum levels in psoriasis (PsO) patients are still debated and an eventual depletion may offer the rational to integrate anti-psoriatic therapies with oral vitamin D. Then, we aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis on the current evidence towards serum vitamin D level in PsO. Methods: We searched in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Sciences, ScienceDirect and Science Information Database (SID) using the terms "Vitamin D" and "Psoriasis" including manuscripts in English, Italian and Persian. Duplications were excluded using EndNote software and records were screened by title, abstract and full-text. Quality assessment of studies was assessed using Newcastle Ottawa Checklist (NOS). Psoriasis odds ratio (OR) and mean serum vitamin D levels were calculated and displayed in Forest-plots. Heterogeneity indexes were evaluated using Results: From 3006 records extracted, after removing duplicates and analyzing full texts we finally included 19 manuscripts involving a total of 1387 PsO cases and 6939 controls. PsO patients exhibited a substantial odds ratio (3.07, 95% CI: 1.56-6.04) for lower serum vitamin D levels compared to the control group. Standardized Mean Difference (SMD) of vitamin D in PsO versus controls was -0.92 (-1.33 to -0.51). Conclusion: Psoriatic patients displayed higher risk to have a vitamin D deficiency. Interventional studies to verify the preventive value are mandatory.

Abstract	During an elective cesarean section, the choice of method of anesthesia is critical for maternal and fetal outcomes. However, the anesthesiologist's decision is dependent on the patient's desire. This study aimed to determine the choice of general and spinal anesthesia among women undergoing elective cesarean sections and the factors affecting their choice. Methods: In this descriptive study, pregnant women who had the ability to undergo both spinal and general anesthesia were referred to public and private hospitals in (Sari Imam Khomeini Hospital, Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences). A questionnaire recorded the patient's demographic data, education and occupation, history of anesthesia, choice of anesthetic method, and reason for selection. Results: A total of 384 women were included in the study, of whom 60% selected general anesthesia and 40% selected spinal anesthesia. Among the reasons for not choosing spinal anesthesia, most common were fear of injury to the spinal cord (64.3%) and fear of seeing and hearing during the surgery (53.3%), and among the reasons for not choosing general anesthesia, most common were fear of not waking (54.3%) and a desire to be alert at the time of infant birth (40.7%). Most of the women with a history of spinal anesthesia selected spinal anesthesia (53%), and 62% of those without a history of spinal anesthesia selected general anesthesia. Factors such as age, nonmedical staff advice, and being employed were significantly correlated with the choice of anesthesia ( Conclusion: The rate of general anesthesia selection was higher than spinal anesthesia. More attention and efforts are required to educate patients regarding the method of anesthesia prior to the surgery.

Abstract	Introduction: Of the problems in tuberculosis (TB) control program is the recurrence of this disease. In some studies, smoking has been reported as the most important risk factor. Therefore, the present study aimed at examining the association between smoking and tuberculosis recurrence using meta-analysis. Methods: To report the findings of this meta-analysis, we used PRISMA. The protocol of this study has been recorded in PROSPERO. The research question has been formulated based on PICO, and the search was performed using both MeSH and non-MeSH keywords. After screening and selecting the articles and evaluating their quality using the NOS checklist, the overall estimate of the odds ratio of tuberculosis recurrence in smokers was assessed with a 95% confidence interval. Results: Fourteen studies met the inclusion criteria. The total number of samples in the group of patients with tuberculosis recurrence was 1988 with 855 (43%) smokers, and in the group of patients affected by tuberculosis without recurrence, it was 27,226 with 7503 (27.56%) smokers. In 13 studies, the odds ratio of tuberculosis recurrence was higher in smokers; this difference was statistically significant in 12 of them. Combining the results of these 14 studies, the odds ratio of tuberculosis recurrence in smokers was 2.10 times higher, using the random effects model (95% CI:1.69, 2.61). Conclusion: Based on the results of study present, smoking increases the risk of tuberculosis recurrence. Therefore, to eradicate tuberculosis by 2030, more serious interventions should be taken to quit smoking, which in turn reduces the incidence of tuberculosis.

Abstract	Background: Nasal fractures are the most common type of trauma fracture. Conventional radiography is the primary method of choice. Ultrasonography is used as a new and non-invasive method for this purpose. The aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic values of ultrasonography with nasal X-ray. Methods: This was a prospective study which was conducted during 2018-2019 at Bouali hospital, Sari, northern Iran. 130 patients who met our criteria enrolled our study. All patients underwent nasal X-ray and ultrasonography on a day of trauma. The physical examination during the reduction in operation room considered as gold standard for nasal bone fracture. The sensitivity, specificity, precision, positive predictive values, and negative predictive values, along with 95% confidence intervals, were determined by SPSS. Results: The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive values, negative predictive values, and precision of nasal X-ray were all reported to be 100% when compared to physical examination (the gold standard). Ultrasonography had a sensitivity of 78.13%, a specificity of 100%, a PPV of 100%, an NPV of 61.82%, and a precision of 83.85% in comparison to physical examination (the gold standard). Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that ultrasonography can be utilized as a main diagnostic tool in the identification of nasal bone fractures in the vast majority of cases, avoiding the unwanted dangers and problems of X-rays. This is especially critical for expecting mothers and children.

Abstract	Background: Insomnia and other sleep disorders can cause an increase in blood pressure, thereby resulting in premature death. Regarding this, the present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between hypertension and parameters related to sleep disorders in Tabari cohort population. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the data from the enrollment phase of the Tabari cohort study were adopted. Tabari cohort is a part of the PERSIAN (Prospective Epidemiological Research Studies in Iran) cohort study. Data analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Out of 10,255 patients enrolled in the Tabari cohort, 2,281 patients (22.2%) had hypertension. According to the results of univariable logistic regression test, the odds ratio of high blood pressure in patients with insomnia and hypersomnia is 1.22 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.06-1.40) and 1.22 (95% CI, 1.01-1.47) times higher than normal sleep. This odds ratio was not significant after adjusting the effect of sex, age, body mass index, waist circumference, area residence, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride, and total cholesterol variables with multivariable logistic regression. Frequency of routine hypnotic medication usage (14.6% vs. 5.7%, P < 0.001), involuntary napping (25.3% vs. 19%, P < 0.001), and leg restlessness during sleep (14.8% vs. 11.7%, P < 0.001) was higher in hypertensive individuals than in nonhypertensive cases. Conclusions: This study showed that sleep disorders prevalence are higher in hypertensive patients than nonhypertensive patients. Also, routine use of hypnotics was significantly higher medication in patients with hypertension compared to that in the nonhypertensive patients.

Abstract	Background and objectives: Sleep disorders during pregnancy may be linked an increase risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between sleep quality and duration in pregnancy and risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Materials and methods: This prospective follow-up study was performed on 240 pregnant women with a gestational age between 20 to 24 weeks, who were referred to Imam Khomeini Hospital in Sari from 2018 to 2019 for prenatal care. The sleep quality of all eligible women were evaluated with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). During the 26 to 28 weeks of gestation, 1-hour and 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was done for all women. Results: The results showed that women with poor sleep quality had a significantly higher mean BMI and 1-hour and 2-hour OGTT results (P < 0.05). Compared to women with good sleep quality, women with poor sleep quality (PSQI >5) had a greater risk of developing GDM (OR = 2.99, 95% CI 1.77 to 5.06). In women with sleep duration of less than 7 and more than 9 hours, the frequency of GDM was significantly higher than women with the 7-9 hour sleep duration (P < 0.05). Also, the frequency of GDM in women with three or more than three times of snoring in a week (63.44%) was significantly higher than women with once a week (30.61%) (P-value <0.001). Conclusion: It seems that sleep disorders and poor sleep quality can be a risk factor in developing GDM. Therefore, sleep characteristics should be considered in pregnancy care; especially in women with higher risk of GDM.

Abstract	Background and objectives: Informed consent (IC) is the process of establishing communication between the physician and the patient or an alternative decision that leads to the agreement or rejection of the patient and/or their legal representative to perform specific medical procedures. In this study, we evaluated the level of awareness and patient participation in IC in the surgical wards of the general hospital in northern Iran in the 2019-2020 years. Patients and methods: This study is cross-sectional research that was performed during the 2019-2020 years. The statistical population includes patients admitted to the surgical wards of the general hospital in northern Iran in 2019-2020. The Cochran's formula was used to determine the sample size and the statistical sample size was 385 patients. The sampling method is stratified random. The method of data collection was through questionnaire tools. The software used was SPSS 21 with an independent Results: Our data showed that the frequency of men was significantly higher (P < 0.001). Individuals with a higher education group have a significantly higher level of awareness (P < 0.001). The Pearson's Correlation (PC) test showed that there was no significant correlation between age and patients' awareness score (PC = -0.007, P = 0.887). Conclusion: The current study showed that individuals with higher education had a significantly higher level of awareness, and there was no significant correlation between age and patients' awareness score. Therefore, senior university administrators are suggested to improve IC processes in accordance with the patients' rights charter and internationally accredited standards, and assist health care providers with legal implications in the courts.

Abstract	Background: Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death worldwide. In order to prevent and treat heart diseases, we need to estimate the trend of non-cardiac diseases with the cardiovascular system. Arthritis Rheumatoid is a chronic immune/inflammatory process which leads to subclinical atherosclerosis and increases cardiovascular disease. We examined the patients who referred to our nuclear medicine center for MPI and correlated their findings with flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) of the brachial artery and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in arthritis rheumatoid patients. Material and methods: A total 30 known cases with arthritis rheumatoid were referred to our department for MPI and the single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging were visually and quantitatively evaluated by two nuclear medicine physicians and the correlation of the measured FMD and CIMT were evaluated and compared with ultrasonography data. Demographic information such as gender, age and sex and medical history (risk factors, cardiovascular sign and symptoms, lab findings, medication etc…) were recorded in questionnaire sheets and were analyzed by SPSS.20. Chi-square and student t-test were used for further analysis. Results: The mean CIMT (R = 0.452 ± 0.07, L = 0.447 ± 0.08) and %FMD (R = 7.22 ± 8.66, L = 6.42 ± 11.88) were measured for all subjects. Age was the only parameter correlated with both right and left CIMT (P = 0.033 and P = 0.024, respectively). Among the patients, 26.7% had mild ischemia (SSS < 8) and 3 of them suffered from active arthritis rheumatoid. All patients with RA showed normal ventricular ejection fraction and normal volumes and among them, 93.3% had normal functional performance (normal wall motion…). Moreover, the mean CIMT and %FMD were not significantly different in ischemic and non-ischemic patients. Among ischemic patients, just the course of the disease was associated with CIMT and none of the parameters was correlated with FMD. Conclusions: There is no significant statistical difference between ischemic and non-ischemic patients and also the functional performance with values of CIMT and FMD. Among all populations, the parameter of age, and in ischemic group, the course of disease were found as the only variable correlated with CIMT.
