Abstract	BACKGROUND: Non-technical skills as a complement to technical skills have become increasingly important in cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, and teamwork is one of the most prominent of these skills. Because of the limited number of tools introduced and validated for measuring teamwork in resuscitation, this study was conducted to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Teamwork Scale in Resuscitation (TSR). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was a sequential exploratory mixed-method study and was conducted between March 2020 and April 2021 and in two phases. In the first phase (qualitative), semi-structured interviews were performed with resuscitation team members who were selected using a purposeful sampling method with maximum variation in terms of experience, level of education, age, and gender. Using directed qualitative content analysis, the data were analyzed and the primary item pool was developed. In the second phase (quantitative), assessing face, content, and construct validity as well as reliability via the internal consistency and stability, the psychometric properties of the instrument are evaluated. RESULTS: The initial tool consisted of 54 items; after assessing the face validity, ten items were removed during content validity, and the final tool consisted of 44 items and three main categories including the essential prerequisites for resuscitation, leadership, and teamwork, which was scored based on a 5-point Likert scale from strongly disagree to strongly agree. The convergent validity and concurrent validity of the tool were confirmed. The reliability of the instrument was also confirmed using Cronbach's alpha test and re-test and the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) between raters. CONCLUSION: The validity and reliability of TSR for measuring teamwork in resuscitation in a simulated environment are approved. Further studies are suggested for different contexts of resuscitation and with trained raters to evaluate its use in real resuscitation situations.

Abstract	With the advent of positive psychology in second language (L2) learning, some researchers have undertaken empirical studies to explore emotional variables affecting L2 learning and how positive emotions can enhance the engagement of L2 learners. As an attempt to contribute to this research domain, this project sought to test a model of student engagement based on classroom social climate (CSC) and foreign language enjoyment (FLE) among English language learners in Iran. A sample of 386 intermediate English as a foreign language (EFL) learners took part in this survey by completing the online battery of questionnaires. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed for the analysis of the gathered data. The results showed that both CSC and FLE were significant predictors of student engagement, with FLE acting as a stronger predictor. Furthermore, CSC exerted a slight influence on FLE. The findings of the present study verify the contributions of positive psychology to L2 pedagogy, implying that pleasant perceptions of learning context and positive emotions can lead to further student engagement.

Abstract	Introduction and importance: The Masquelet technique remains one of the procedures with low rates of failure and infection. The use of this technique in humeral defects is still rare. Case presentation: A 38-year-old male patient with an open humeral comminuted fracture induced by shotgun injury was referred to our hospital. The Masquelet technique was chosen as the best option with a lower risk of infection and the lower expenses at this stage due to the second time of open reduction and internal fixation and bone graft failure, low patient compliance, and the increasing size of the defect due to bone absorption. An arthrodesis procedure was performed 5 days after the second Masquelet stage as restoring the elbow joint's range of motion was impossible. Clinical discussion: The Masquelet technique, is a two-step surgical procedure to manage pseudoarthroses and bone defects. Various surgical options are available for performing this procedure. There are several reasons behind the rising popularity of this technique during recent years. Some of these reasons include the reproducibility of this technique, as well as requiring less time, not being technically challenging, and having fewer neurovascular complications. Conclusion: This case was one of the limited examples of successful implementation of the Masquelete procedure on severe traumatic injuries of the upper limb with bone defects providing more evidence on the safety and efficacy of this technique in similar conditions.

Abstract	Background/aims: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), defined as the accumulation of >5% fat in the liver, is the most frequently co-exist disease with diabetics up to 70%. Current study was conducted to compare efficacy of combination therapy of empagliflozin (EMPA) or pioglitazone (PGZ) with metformin (MET) in patients with T2DM and NAFLD. Methods: In this open label, prospective clinical trial, sixty patients were randomly assigned to receive EMPA 10 mg/day or PGZ 30 mg/day in combination Metformin (at least 1500 mg) for six months. NAFLD grade and liver stiffness were defined and measured at the beginning and after 6 months. As the secondary outcomes, anthropometric characteristics, lipid profile, plasma glucose test, and liver enzymes test were measured at the baseline and endpoint. Results: The results showed that both combination therapy with EMPA+ MET or PGZ+MET significantly reversed fibrosis stage of NAFLD (P<0.05). Significant reduction in lipid profile test, and liver enzymes test were seen in both groups (P<0.05). However, the greater reduction in waist circumference was observed in EMPA groups compared to PGZ (-4.4 ± 2.39 vs -2.05±1.28, p<0.001), meanwhile weight and BMI decreased significantly only in the patients receiving EMPA (-5.78 ± 3.6 kg vs 0.93 ± 0.33 kg and -2.01± 3.19 kg/m Conclusion: combination of EMPA or PGZ with metformin equally improved liver fibrosis stage and stiffness in T2DM patients with NAFLD. The improvements of laboratory tests were observed in the both groups, while, regarding weight reduction, only the regimen containing EMPA was effective.

Abstract	As teaching is a complex and demanding activity especially in university and higher education contexts, exploring the correlates of work engagement in university contexts seems to be a promising research area. As an attempt to further clarify this research area, this study sought to examine the significance of reflective teaching and academic optimism as correlates of work engagement among university instructors in Iran. Having been selected via convenience sampling, a sample of 289 Iranian English as a foreign language (EFL) university instructors participated in this survey. The electronic versions of the scales of teacher academic optimism, reflective teaching, and work engagement were administered to the participants. Initially, the construct validity of the scales was verified for the university contexts via performing confirmatory factor analysis. Then the hypothesized structural relationships among the constructs were tested using structural equation modelling (SEM). The results demonstrated that both reflective teaching and academic optimism significantly predicted work engagement among English university instructors. Some notable implications are finally discussed based on these findings.

Abstract	Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder characterized by the recurrence of seizures, which can significantly impact the lives of patients. Electroencephalography (EEG) can provide important physiological information on human brain activity which can be useful to diagnose epilepsy. However, manual analysis and visual inspection of many EEG signals can be time-consuming and may lead to contradictory diagnoses by doctors. EEG signals play an important role in the diagnosis of epilepsy, as the quantification of cerebral signal anomalies may indicate the condition and the pathology of the cerebral signal. In this study, we attempted to develop a two-step process for the automated diagnosis of epilepsy using EEG signals. In the first step, we applied a low-pass filter and designed three intermediate filters for different frequency bands, employing multi-layer neural networks. In the second step, we used a wavelet transform method to process the data. The characteristics of the local brain are the distribution of epileptic EEG activity in the wavelet model across the whole brain surface. We also evaluated the use of two different classifiers, an artificial neural network (ANN) and a support vector machine (SVM), for the diagnosis of epilepsy. These classifiers were trained on normal and epileptic data and were able to accurately distinguish between normal and epilepsy as well as other conditions. We also found that the use of the wavelet transform did not significantly affect the classification performance but using a multi-layer neural network provided better precision. In this study, we developed a two-step automated process; incorporating low-pass filters, intermediate filters, multi-layer neural networks, and wavelet transform led to an accurate and efficient diagnosis of epilepsy. The results of this paper show high accuracy rates for both the artificial neural network (92.38%) and the support vector machine (95.5%) classifiers. Moreover, the study highlighted the effectiveness of utilizing a multi-layer neural ...

Abstract	Key clinical message PB19 infection should be considered an uncommon cause of posttransplant anemia in renal transplant recipients, particularly those whose anemia is not associated with common etiologies. IVIG treatment and reduced immunosuppression could be beneficial. Abstract Parvovirus B19‐associated relapsing anemia is rare in kidney transplant recipients. Herein, we report a case of relapsed anemia due to parvovirus B19 infection in a 53‐year‐old woman 18 months after kidney transplantation. The patient presented with palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, weakness, and lethargy. Early laboratory findings showed a WBC count of 6.000/μL, RBC count of 1.89/μL, hemoglobin (Hb) 3.5 g/dL, hematocrit (Hct) 15%, platelet count 266.000/μL, MCV 89, reticulocyte count 0.8%, and serum iron 221 μg/dL. Upon further evaluation, the RT‐PCR test for BK polyomavirus and cytomegalovirus (CMV) was negative, while the parvovirus B19 RT‐PCR was positive. The patient was treated with blood transfusion and IVIG 25 g daily for 5 days. Two months after discharge, the patient presented, complaining of palpitation, shortness of breath, and dizziness, with RBC 2.7/μL, Hb 6.5 g/dL, Hct 25%, and MCV 85. Again, the CMV RT‐PCR was negative, while the parvovirus B19 RT‐PCR was positive. Tacrolimus and mycophenolic acid were stopped, and IVIG 25 g daily for 5 days was administered. Consequently, her Hb level increased to 9 g/dL, and the patient was discharged with prednisolone 5 mg daily and cyclosporine 50 mg daily instead of tacrolimus. Viral infection, particularly PB19 infection, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of posttransplantation anemia in KTRs. IVIG treatment and modification of immunosuppressive medications are suggested standard therapies for such patients. The function of transplanted kidneys should be carefully monitored during treatment.

Abstract	Propolis is a natural compound with anticarcinogenic properties. The present study aimed to compare the inhibitory effect of ethanolic extract of propolis (EEP) and vitamin E on dimethylhydrazine-induced colon lesions in rats. In this study, 60 rats were randomly categorized into six 10-member groups. After 13 weeks, blood and colon tissue were sampled to examine some factors. The parameters included red (RBC) and white (WBC) blood cell profile, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), C-reactive protein (CRP), total protein (TP), creatine kinase (CPK), and albumin, as well as the extent of colon histological lesions, protein expression (adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)), and oxidative stress markers (total antioxidant capacity (TAC), malondialdehyde (MDA), and superoxide dismutase (SOD)) in colon tissue. A significant decrease was observed in congestion, mitotic index, inflammation, and cell destruction in colon tissue in dimethylhydrazine group in comparison with the control group (P<0.05). The EEP exposed rats exhibited a significant lower oxidative stress than the DMH group (P<0.05). Furthermore, the extract significantly affected TAC level (P<0.05). While the expression level of APC rose substantially in the EEP-treated group compared to the DMH group, the level of PCNA, CEA, and PDGF proteins significantly reduced. It seems that the EEP can efficiently prevent DMH-induced colonic lesions. Furthermore, its effectiveness is more than the vitamin E, which is a strong antioxidant.
