Delinquency is a social phenomenon and has a social background, although biological, psychological, geographical, ethnic, racial and other factors play a very important role in the formation and occurrence of delinquency, explaining the problem based on the social environment factor, renewing the attitude in the society. It is social science, especially the functioning of the smallest and most important social institution, the family, which plays an important role in cooperation and harmonizing the normative behaviors of people with the social environment. In the article, we examine the role of the family as a factor and obstacle to juvenile delinquency (relying on order in the family) and youth crimes. This work is especially important in terms of limiting the factors investigated in a scientific work, because it is not possible to consider and examine all dimensions and angles accurately in a research work. If the family can be an important factor in delinquency. And the unfavorable conditions to raise the delinquent, in the same proportion, the existence of favorable conditions in the family made the mental, emotional, psychological and social development of the teenager possible, which is the most important step in the prevention of delinquency.

Background: A substantial body of evidences indicates that methamphetamine abuse can lead to persistent and serious cognitive dysfunction. Preclinical studies and early pilot clinical investigations have suggested that atomoxetine, a cognitive enhancer may be useful in improving of cognitive dysfunction. The present study evaluated whether atomoxetine would effect on cognitive dysfunction in methamphetamine dependent patients. Methods: Participants with methamphetamine dependence (N =86) which were on methadone maintenance therapy (MMT) were enrolled in a double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial. This investigation was performed on 86 subjects to consume either 40 mg/day atomoxetine (n = 45) or placebo (n = 41) for 8 weeks. Between January 2016 and June 2017, volunteers were selected from methamphetamine abusers in MMT centers in Kashan, Iran. They completed at the first and each monthly visit the Cognitive Abilities Questionnaire for assessing the cognitive functions. The data were analyzed using Independent sample t test, Mann Whitney test and chi square with SPSS version 20.0. Results: This study revealed that, atomoxetine treatment improved some of the cognitive dysfunctions in methamphetamine users including memory, inhibitory control, selective attention, decision making, planning, sustained attention, and cognitive flexibility in methamphetamine users (p<0.05), but the social cognition improvement was less than others (p=0.107). There were only mild side effects in placebo and atomoxetine groups. Conclusions: The findings show the efficacy of atomoxetine for improving the cognitive dysfunction in methamphetamine users and suggest potential efficacy of atomoxetine for treating them.

Clinical trials are known as the golden key in medical science researches with human participants. Therefore, they have always been considered interesting topics by researchers and scientists working in this field. On the other hand, due to the “human participants”, they need to be performed very carefully. In this article, we have examined the ethical necessities and considerations in these researches in four stages: Research Design and Question-proposal review , approval - Supervision, implementation and publication of the results We have dealt with them using articles published between 2010 and 2019, and we have identified significantly important and prominent issues or even neglected cases. During this study, it was found that the Research Design and Question stage were the most discussed and challenged stages and the authors' sensitivity about them has been more than the other three stages. On the other hand, the results publishing stage with the least number of references in articles has been considered less sensitive. During this study, it was found that the Research Design was the most discussed and challenged stages and the authors' sensitivity about them has been more than the other three stages.

Background: According to the Qur’an, man is the servant and the successor of Allah, the representative of prosperity on earth, and has the responsibility for the universe. This approach will create a constructive human interaction with the environment. Environmental degradation is against the will of Allah. It originates from ignorance, human selfishness, passions, and evil temptations, manifest in greed, arrogance, and extravagance. If humans control these abnormal factors and follow Qur’an teachings, they will enjoy a healthy environment that is a universal right. This paper seeks to study the anthropological theory of the Qur’an and its role in reducing environmental degradation. Methods: Based on the descriptive-analytical design, we explored 70 verses of the Holy Qur’an in which the words samā’, ‘ard, mas’ūl, khalīfah, shaytān, and those are cognate with the Arabic verbs sa-khkha-ra, ha-ra-sa, sa-ra-fa, ki-ba-ra, ha-wā, ‘a-ba-da, and ‘a-ma-ra, as well as the related articles, books, and philological and exegetical sources. We investigated the Qur’an to find the effect of awareness and more attention of human beings to the dimensions of man’s creation to reduce environmental degradation. These issues will be discussed in two parts: 1) the anthropology and the dimensions of human creation in the Qur’an, and 2) the causes of environmental degradation. Results: This study showed that the survival of life and human enjoyment of a healthy environment depends on enough knowledge of oneself, seeking help from Allah, and following the Qur’anic guidelines. These facts effectively control internal and external causes of environmental degradation, including ignorance, egoism, selfishness, and evil temptations. These actions destroy the roots of greed, arrogance, and extravagance in human beings. For this reason, Allah demands humans to develop earth, care for and rescue it from any destruction, avoid extravagance, and observe justice. Conclusion: Meditating in the Qur’an, the man knows his creative dimensions and environmental degradation factors that are incompatible with nature and are rooted in some of the inner and outer dimensions of human personality. Hence, he will consciously enjoy sustainable development and maintaining a healthy environment. This behavior will then reduce anomalies in the environment on his part.
背景：根据《古兰经》，人是安拉的仆人和接班人，是地球繁荣的代表，对宇宙负有责任。这种方法将创造一种建设性的人类与环境的互动。环境恶化违背了真主的意愿。它源于无知、人类的自私、激情和邪恶的诱惑，表现为贪婪、傲慢和奢侈。如果人类控制这些异常因素并遵循《古兰经》的教义，他们将享有一个健康的环境，这是一项普遍的权利。本文试图研究《古兰经》的人类学理论及其在减少环境退化方面的作用。方法：在描述性分析设计的基础上，我们探索了《古兰经》的70首诗，其中单词samā'、'ard、mas’úl、khalīfah、shaytān和这些词与阿拉伯语动词sa khkha ra、ha ra sa、sa ra fa、ki ba ra、ha-wā、a-ba-da和a-ma-ra同源，以及相关的文章、书籍、文献和训释来源。我们对《古兰经》进行了调查，以发现人类对人类创造的维度的认识和更多关注对减少环境退化的影响。这些问题将分两部分讨论：1）《古兰经》中的人类学和人类创造的维度，以及2）环境退化的原因。结果：这项研究表明，生命的生存和人类对健康环境的享受取决于对自己的足够了解，寻求安拉的帮助，并遵循《古兰经》的准则。这些事实有效地控制了环境退化的内部和外部原因，包括无知、利己主义、自私和邪恶诱惑。这些行为摧毁了人类贪婪、傲慢和奢侈的根源。出于这个原因，安拉要求人类开发地球，关心和拯救地球免受任何破坏，避免铺张浪费，遵守正义。结论：在《古兰经》中沉思，人知道自己的创造性维度和环境退化因素，这些因素与自然不相容，植根于人类人格的一些内在和外在维度。因此，他将自觉地享受可持续发展和保持健康的环境。这种行为将减少他在环境中的异常情况。

Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) and Subsequent Pulmonary Thromboembolism (PTE) in high altitude climbers is a well-known concept. The acclimatization process at high altitude is itself a thrombogenic event. Accordingly, when a physically nonprepared individual with preexisting thrombogenic risk factors attempts trekking at high altitude, they may end up with fatal thromboembolic events. Here, we report a case of a low-lander with multiple thrombogenic risk factors who developed DVT and PTE when he went for a trekking trip in the Himalayas. The risk factors, autopsy findings, and possible mechanism of developing fatal pulmonary embolism, in this case, are discussed here.

Organophosphate (OP) poisoning is prevalent in developing countries. Toxicity occurs by voluntary injection, inhalation, and absorption. Self-injection is rare. The current case report describes a 61-y/o male with subcutaneous self-injected one cc OP poisoning presenting with delayed drowsiness, nausea, and vomiting. He was treated and presented a good clinical response to treatment with pralidoxime and had a successful recovery. Diagnosis of OP compound toxicity by the parenteral route is a challenge. By observing patients, the dose, and the time between poisoning until the time to start treatment, we can conclude different presentations and outcomes of OP poisoning.

Background: Death by hanging is a vital health hazard worldwide; it is classified as violent mechanical deaths resulting from asphyxia. The manner of death in hanging is suicide in the majority of the cases, and accidental hanging is less common, and homicidal hanging is still less common. The study was aimed towards analyzing sociodemographic patterns, precipitating factors for committing hanging at Vijayanagar Institute of Medical Sciences (VIMS), Ballari, India. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at the mortuary of VIMS, Ballari, Karnataka, India. From January 01, 2016, to December 31, 2020, 356 alleged hanging cases were brought to the mortuary for postmortem examination, and the cause of death was attributed to hanging. The necessary data were collected with the help of history, inquest reports, meticulous postmortem examination, etc. The results were obtained after tabulating and data analyzed with a cross-sectional study. Results: Of 356 cases of hanging, the majority of the cases were in the age group of 31-40 years (140 patients; i.e., 39.32%). Male preponderance was detected in 235(66%) cases, and most victims have married 199(56%) subjects. Concerning seasonal variation, we noted that the maximum number of suicides by hanging was reported in July to September 141(39.60%). Out of 356 hanging cases, 178(50%) were employed. The predisposing factor was Chronic illness in 136(38.20 %) cases, followed by financial stress and psychological problems in 120(33.70%) and 50(14.04%) cases, respectively. Most of the victims belonged to the Hindu religion, 290(82%) cases. Moreover, 320(90%) of cases had no suicide note. Conclusion: Hanging is challenging to prevent due to numerous concomitant factors, but psychological counseling, economic support, and education can reduce the incidence of hanging.
