    Abstract Microplastics are ubiquitous in the natural environment, and their potential impact on health is a key issue of concern. Investigating exposure routes in humans and other living organisms is among the major challenges of microplastics. This study aims to examine the exposure level of plastic factory staff to microplastic particles before and after work shifts through body receptors (hand and facial skin, saliva and hair) in Sirjan, southeast of Iran. Moreover, the effect of face masks, gloves, cosmetics (e.g: face powder cream, lipstick and eye makeup products) and appearance on the exposure level is investigated. In total, 19 individuals are selected during six working days. Then, the collected samples are transferred to the laboratory for filtration, extraction, identification and counting of microplastic particles. Moreover, 4802 microplastic particles (100–5000 μm in size) in strand, polyhedral and spherical shapes and color spectra of white/transparent, black, blue/green, red and purple are observed. The nature of most of the observed samples is fiber with a size ≥1000 μm. Analyzing the selected samples using micro-Raman spectroscopy indicate polyester and nylon are the main identified fibers. Hair and saliva samples have the highest and lowest number of microplastics, respectively. Using gloves and sunscreen among all the participants, wearing a scarf and hair size among women and having a beard and mustache among men could have an effective role in the exposure level to microplastics. Results of this study could reveal the exposure route to microplastic particles in the human body and highlight the importance of providing higher protection to reduce exposure.

    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to investigate blood glucose levels in patients with brain injury caused by mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) as a foundation for determining whether these patients need a brain CT scan or not.
    Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on patients with mild TBI, who were referred to the emergency department from March 1, 2022, to September 1, 2022. After the confirmation of mild TBI by an emergency medicine specialist, blood samples were taken from the patients to measure blood glucose levels. Then a brain CT scan was performed, and blood glucose levels were compared between patients with and without CT indications of brain injury. A checklist was used to collect data, and the data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 23).
    Results: In the CT scans of the 157 patients included in the study, 30 patients (19.2%) had a brain injury in the CT scan. The mean blood glucose level was significantly higher in patients with brain injury, especially in the presence of vertigo and ataxia, than patients without brain injury in the CT scan (
    Conclusion: Patients with mild TBI who had signs of brain injury in the CT scan had significantly higher blood glucose levels than patients with normal CT scan findings. Although indications for performing a brain CT scan are usually based on clinical criteria, blood glucose levels can be helpful in determining the requirement for a brain CT scan in patients with mild TBI.

    Abstract Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the association between changes in repeated brain computed tomography (CT) findings and the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) determined by ocular ultrasonography in patients with moderate blunt traumatic brain injury (TBI).
    Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on patients with moderate blunt TBI (Glasgow Coma Scale, 9-12) who were referred to the emergency department during a 1-year period. Initially, all patients underwent a brain CT scan and primary ocular ultrasonography. Patients who were candidates for a second brain CT scan under observation in the emergency department also underwent a second ocular ultrasound. The primary outcome was the progression of brain lesions on repeated brain CT scans. Logistic regression and the area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were used.
    Results: Overall, 204 patients with a mean age of 43±13.4 years were enrolled in the study. The study detected expanding changes in brain CT scans from 29 patients (14.2%). The progression of lesion on CT scan were significantly associated with changes in the Glasgow Coma Scale. In the second brain CT scan, there were significant associations between the progression of lesion on CT scan and the increased size of the ONSD measured on both axial and coronal sections (odds ratio, 17.3-47.5; AUC, 0.88-0.93).
    Conclusion: Among patients with moderate TBI, an increase in ONSD on ocular ultrasound seems to be an appropriate criterion for repeating a brain CT scan to select a suitable therapeutic intervention.

    Abstract Background: Endotracheal intubation (ETI) in critically ill patients is a high-risk procedure due to the increased risk of cardiac arrest, and several factors may predict poor outcomes in these patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of some factors, especially newly introduced vital signs such as the reverse shock index (RSI), in predicting post-intubation cardiac arrest (PICA) in critically ill adult patients.
    Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on critically ill patients over 18 years of age who were admitted to the emergency department (ED) and underwent ETI within 1 year. Patients who developed PICA and those without this event were included in the study, and their features were compared. The primary outcome was cardiac arrest.
    Results: Of 394 patients, 127 patients were included, of whom 95 (74.8%) developed PICA, and 32 (25.2%) did not experience cardiac arrest after intubation. In multivariate analysis, age, RSI, oxygen saturation, and total bilirubin were significantly associated with PICA. In addition, patients with RSI < 1 had a significantly higher risk of developing PICA (odds ratio = 5.22, 95% CI 1.83-14.86, p = 0.002). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and diagnostic accuracy for predicting PICA were 51.11%, 83.33%, 90.2%, 36.23%, and 59.17%, respectively. The ROC curve for RSI showed an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.66.
    Conclusion: RSI may be useful in predicting PICA with higher diagnostic accuracy compared to the shock index. Furthermore, advanced age, hypoxia, and hyperbilirubinemia may increase the risk of PICA in patients admitted to the ED.

    Abstract Background: This study investigated the quality of inpatient care provided to Afghan immigrants in Iran during the COVID-19 pandemic (February 2019 to March 2021). For this purpose, the services received by Afghan immigrants were compared with those received by Iranian citizens.
    Methods: Two emergency services (traumas with 8080 victims and 8,686 patients hospitalized with severe COVID-19 infection) were taken into consideration. The records of all patients, including the Afghan immigrants, in two referral hospitals in Kerman were reviewed, and the main variables were the length of hospitalization (LoH), intensive care unit (ICU) admission rate, and death rate. Quantile regression, multiple logistic regression, and Cox regression were used to analyze the data.
    Results: The median and interquartile range of LoH for Afghan and Iranian nationals admitted due to traumas were 3.0±4.0 and 2.0±4.0, respectively (
    Conclusion: Afghan nationals admitted to the hospital due to traumas were more likely to be admitted to ICUs or die compared to Iranian citizens. It seems that Afghan patients who had traumas went to the hospitals with more serious injuries. There was no difference between Afghan and Iranian patients in terms of COVID-19 consequences. Following the findings of this study, it seems that justice in treatment has been fully established for Afghan patients in Iran.

    Abstract Cardiovascular diseases belong to the leading causes of disability and premature death worldwide, including in Iran. It is predicted that the burden of the disease in Iran in 2025 will be more than doubled compared to 2005. Therefore, many forecasting models have been used to predict disease progression, estimate mortality rates, and assess risk factors. Our study focused on two time series prediction on models: autoregressive integrated moving average with exogenous variable (ARIMAX) and Convolutional neural network–long short-term memory network (CNN-LSTM). ARIMAX (6,1,6) had the best MSE of 0.655 among time series regression models. The prediction of this model shows a significant association in lag 4 and lag 6. Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) was also significant in lag 6, while CNN-LSTM had a much better MSE of 0.21. For the time series analysis and forecasts studied in this paper, deep learning models provided more accurate results than classical methods such as ARIMAX.

    Abstract Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can be a major risk factor for noncommunicable illnesses, especially when children are exposed to them. The purpose of this study was to assess the urine concentrations of triclosan (TCS), methyl triclosan (MTCS), triclocarban (TCC), and 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) and its association with anthropometric and demographic parameters in children and adolescents aged 6–18 living in Kerman, Iran, in 2020. A GC/MS instrument was used to measure the concentrations of the analytes. TCS, MTCS, TCC, and 2,4-DCP geometric mean concentrations (µg/L) were 4.32 ± 2.08, 1.73 ± 0.88, 4.66 ± 10.25, and 0.19 ± 0.14, respectively. TCS, MTCS, TCC, and 2,4-DCP were shown to have a positive and significant association with BMI z-score and BMI (p-value < 0.01). TCS and MTCS have a positive, strong, and substantial association (p-value < 0.01, r = 0.74). There was no significant association between the waist circumference (WC) and the analytes studied. In addition, there was a close association between analyte concentration and demographic parameters (smoking, education, income, etc.) overall. In Kerman, Iran, the current study was the first to look into the association between TCS, MTCS, TCC, and 2,4-DCP analytes and anthropometric and demographic data. The levels of urinary TCS, MTCS, TCC, 2,4-DCP, and anthropometric parameters in children and adolescents are shown to have a significant association in this study. However, because the current study is cross-sectional and it is uncertain if a single experiment accurately reflects long-term exposure to these analytes, more research is needed to determine the impact of these analyses on the health of children and adolescents.
