    Abstract Nephrolithiasis is a common disease entity around the world, with an increasing prevalence and incidence. There is no consolidated information available on the cause of kidney stones in Iranian patients. As a result, we decided to review the etiology of kidney stones in Iran. PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google scholar, and Scientific Information Database (SID) were searched with the following keywords "Nephrolithiasis", "Renal stone", "Kidney stone", "Urolithiasis", "Etiology", "Metabolic abnormalities", and "Iran". There was no time period limit for selection of the papers. The inclusion criteria included any paper on evaluation of urine biochemistry regarding stone formation in Iranian adult patients (with or without children) with nephrolithiasis. We found 217 articles, of which 9 were eventually included. In conclusion, 1896 patients with nephrolithiasis from 6 provinces and 7 cities of Iran with different climates from 2000 to 2019 were evaluated collectively. The results showed that in contrast to western countries, hypercalciuria was not the most common biochemical disorder of patients with nephrolithiasis (18.2% vs. 30 to 60%). Low urine volume (49.6%) and hypocitraturia (27%) were the most frequent urine abnormalities in our country.  DOI: 10.52547/ijkd.7055.

    Abstract Background: Sirolimus is a potent immunosuppressive in renal transplantation. However, its use is limited by some reported side effects. The objective of this study was to determine the side effect profile of sirolimus in renal transplant patients.
    Materials and methods: In the present study, we retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 116 renal transplant patients treated with sirolimus alone or in combination with other immunosuppressive agents at private therapeutic centers in Isfahan, Iran, between March 2009 and February 2020. A checklist was used to collect data on demographic and clinical variables. Data were analyzed with independent samples
    Results: Our findings indicated that the most prevalent sirolimus-related side effects were edema (42.3%), proteinuria (37.5%), cytopenia (26.9%), abnormal level of liver enzymes (11.7%), and pneumonitis (9.7%). Stratification of side effects by sirolimus dose (<2 mg and ≥2 mg) demonstrated their dose-independent occurrence (
    Conclusion: Edema, proteinuria, cytopenia, abnormal level of liver enzymes, and pneumonitis were the most prevalent sirolimus-related side effects in renal transplant patients. Further prospective cohort studies are warranted to detect underlying mechanisms and determinants of these side effects in renal transplant patients treated with sirolimus.

    Abstract Background: Planning, organizing, and coordinating are inevitable in pursuing the faculty and university's goals, which cannot be achieved without having desirable goals, prioritization, and AP (action plan). This study designed, implemented, and evaluated APM (Action plan management) to increase the quality of educational, research, and management programs.
    Materials and methods: A developmental study was conducted at Isfahan Medical School in 2019. The participants were selected by census sampling, and the target population comprised all deputies (8 ones) and departments (33 ones). This study was carried out in seven steps with a combined method of reviewing literature, document analysis, focus group, and questionnaire. The steps were forming the APM committee, regulating a planned process, designing and issuing the faculty's general policies, using expertise and getting feedback, monitoring the program, final reporting, and the poll.
    Results: The response rate of the departments was 90.2%; the highest and lowest comprehensiveness scores of AP were 100% and 38%, and the highest and lowest performance monitoring scores were 100% and 25%. The mean and standard deviation of comprehensiveness and monitoring were 76 ± 0.1% and 69 ± 0.4%, 82 ± 0.1% and 73 ± 0.1%, and 72 ± 0.2% and 63 ± 0.4% in the basic science departments, clinical departments, and deputies, respectively. The highest agreement (4.8 ± 0.4) was related to the items "AP is as one of the important functions of management, looking to the future" and "AP is effective in the development of any organization."
    Conclusion: Regulating a designed process with a clear guideline, developing 24 general policies for the faculty, forming a committee to monitor the AP, and evaluating and giving feedback to the units were the most important results of this study. Also, the selected departments were introduced, and the progress report was presented to the faculty councils. Further studies were proposed to develop long-term plans, and information management was suggested to measure the progress of different units over time according to the defined goals.

    Abstract INTRODUCTION: The study aimed to design, implement, and evaluate the process of advisor and teaching assistant (TA) to increase the quality of cascade training in principal educational groups, presenting the obstacles and problems of this educational intervention and introducing them to educational planners. METHODOLOGY: This applied developmental research was conducted in Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in 2017–2018 in principal educational groups (internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, gynecology, and cardiology). For this purpose, a working party called TAs was composed of managers, faculty members, and active and interested assistants, including 24 people. The action plan, bylaws, job description, and logbooks were completed by the method of the focus group. Getting the report, monitoring the activity, exchanging the ideas, and drawing up the various plans were continuously done through bi-monthly in-person meetings, and the virtual group was organized for monitoring, starting a training logbook, and doing semi-organized interviews to evaluate. RESULTS: In a total of 1131 h, various educational activities were conducted such as cooperating with the advisor, teaching some part of a class, holding a workshop, contributing to question design, preparing the educational resources, and organizing an educational round. CONCLUSION: Improving the knowledge, attitude, and practice of assistants in cascade training, regulating their activities, learning the teaching skills, and exercising them with the teacher were some of the most significant opportunities of this study.

    Abstract Background: This study was conducted on accountability, aiming to design components for monitoring the curricula of universities of medical sciences.
    Materials and methods: This study was a developmental one, conducted in Isfahan University of Medical Sciences with the document and literature review, a focus group, and a survey from 2018 to 2020. The first version of the components was designed by the library research and content analysis method. Following developing the initial tool, its validity was evaluated with a focus group, and the questionnaire was prepared according to face and content validity.
    Results: In this study, 73 components were designed in eight domains for curriculum supervision, including requirements (12), needs and goals (6), content (10), teaching-learning strategies (10), educational materials and resources (5), educational time (2), educational setting (10), and evaluation (18).
    Conclusion: The components of curriculum supervision were designed due to their importance in the evolution and innovation of medical sciences, particularly accountability in the education system, and lack of relevant research. With these components, the current and optimal status of curricula can be determined in universities.

    Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of intradialytic cycling exercise on quality of life (QOL) and recovery time in patients who underwent hemodialysis.
    Materials and methods: Hemodialysis patients were recruited from the referral dialysis centers affiliated with Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran. Patients were randomly assigned into the intervention and the control groups. Patients in the intervention group exercised on a stationary bike for 12 weeks (3 times per week for 30 min); however, patients in the control group received usual hemodialysis. The kidney disease QOL (KDQOL)-short-form version 1.3 was used to assess QOL. Patients were asked to answer the question "How long does it take to recover from a dialysis session?" to assess recovery time.
    Results: A total of 110 hemodialysis patients, including 60 in the intervention group and 50 in the control group were analyzed. A significant increase was observed in the generic (mean difference ± SE: 1.50 ± 0.44,
    Conclusion: KDQOL and recovery time could improve in hemodialysis patients after 12-week intradialytic exercise.

    Abstract Introduction: Cilostazol is an antiplatelet agent, that has been recently used as an adjunctive therapy in the management of diabetic foot ulcers. Headache, diarrhea, palpitations, and edema are reported as common side effects.
    Case presentation: A 53-year-old woman was admitted to hospital, with decreased urine output and increased serum creatinine level. She had taken Cilostazol for the first time, for only one day, so the diagnosis of acute kidney injury, probably drug-induced acute interstitial nephritis, due to Cilostazol use, was made. Her kidney function did not improve despite Cilostazol discontinuation and therefore, empirical corticosteroid therapy was initiated. Her urine output increased and her serum creatinine level significantly decreased, on the third day of treatment. She was discharged with acceptable kidney function. Follow-up visits showed gradual normalization of serum creatinine in the next 62 days.
    Conclusion: Based on our case, we may draw the conclusion that, Cilostazol may cause nephrotoxicity at any point after ingestion.  DOI: 10.52547/ijkd.6980.

Furthermore, a significant difference was noted between the intervention and the control group regarding the mean difference of all QOL scores after the intervention (P < 0.05). We also found a significant difference in the mean difference of recovery time between the intervention and the control group after the intervention (P < 0.001). Conclusion: KDQOL and recovery time could improve in hemodialysis patients after 12-week intradialytic exercise.
