Introduction: Congenital anomalies are one of the important causes of disability and infant mortality. These abnormalities occur during egg fertilization or embryonic development, which can be detected by laboratory methods. The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of congenital anomalies in Rafsanjan City. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 4868 infants born in Rafsanjan city in 2018. Data collection tool was a questionnaire including information about mothers and infants. The questionnaire was completed using health records available in health centers of Rafsanjan city. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20 and independent t-test and Chi-square. Results: The results showed that the overall prevalence of congenital anomalies in Rafsanjan was 5/38 per 1000 live births. Out of 4868 pregnant women, 474 (9/7%), had abortions or stillbirths before the second trimester, and 12 (0/2%) had therapeutic abortions. After analyzing these anomalies, three cases of Down syndrome (trisomy 21), three cases of Edward syndrome (trisomy 18), one case of aneuploidy, and two cases of microcephaly were found, and the rest had one of the structural abnormalities.. Conclusion: The results of this study indicated a high rate of congenital anomalies in Rafsanjan. Therefore, further studies are recommended to better understand the causes and prevent these anomalies.

Introduction: In recent years, interest in consumption of ready-food products has increased in many countries. Due to the fact that hamburgers and kebabs are the most popular meat products in Iran, this study is conducted with the aim of investigating the microbial quality of raw hamburgers and koobideh kebabs in Sanandaj city. Methods: In this study, 100 samples of frozen raw hamburgers with 60% meat and koobideh kebabs (50 samples each) were randomly obtained from the supply centers of meat products and traditional barbecue shops from September to December 2021. Then the samples were sent to food microbiology laboratory and evaluated for microbial contamination. Results: Results showed that the rates of contamination of raw hamburger and koobideh kebab for total bacterial count were 24% and 40%, Escherichia coli 6% and 12%, Salmonella 0%, mold and yeast 36% and 82%, and Staphylococcus aureus 20% and 76%, respectively. These results showed that mold, yeast, and Staphylococcus aureus were the most contaminating organisms (p<0/001). Conclusion: According to the results of the present study, the raw hamburger has better microbial quality than koobideh kebab; therefore, compliance with all health standards in food factories and the correct application of personal and environmental hygiene points in the production and preparation of food will have a great effect in reducing the cases of foodborne diseases.

Introduction: The consequences of COVID-19 pandemic disease are undeniable and as an important health care event, it has led to the spread of anxiety, depression, fear, and chronic worrying among children. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Traplay on depressive symptoms and grief of bereaved children in COVID-19 epidemic. Methods: The present research was a quasi-experimental study. The statistical population of this study included all children aged 7 to 11 years without a father in 2021 in Yazd city. The study sample consisted of 30 children-parents who were selected by purposive sampling method and were randomly divided into control and experimental groups. The experimental group received 12 45-min sessions per week and the control group did not receive any intervention. In the pre-test and post-test stages, the groups responded to the Spuij et al. Prolonged Grief for Children Scale (2013), and the Kovacs Children's Depression Inventory (1977). The obtained data were analyzed by univariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Results: Based on the results, the main effect of the treatment variable on the post-test scores of depression and bereavement symptoms was significant. The results also showed that the mean adjusted scores of depression post-test and grief symptoms in the experimental group was lower than the control group. Conclusion: The findings of the present study showed that Traplay treatment is effective in reducing the symptoms of depression and grief of bereaved children in COVID-19 pandemic. The educational method used has provided a suitable model to deal with these children.

Introduction: Preventive behaviors are among the most important strategies to fight against COVID-19. The level of awareness, attitude and performance of people towards COVID-19 is of great importance in accepting or doubting to receive the vaccine. The purpose of the current research is to investigate the role of awareness, attitude and performance of COVID-19 regarding the acceptance of the vaccine among university students in Yazd. Methods: This was a cross-sectional and descriptive-analytical study based on the web. The studied population included university students in Yazd city. 392 students were selected by available sampling method. The questionnaires were completed online. To collect data, a standard questionnaire of awareness, attitude, performance, and acceptance of the vaccine was used. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis through SPSS 20 software. Results: The results showed that the level of awareness, attitude and performance of female students was significantly higher than male students (p<0/05). The vaccine's acceptance level had no significant relationship with demographic characteristics. Also, the average score of awareness, attitude and performance of students who accepted the vaccine was higher than the students who did not believe in the vaccine; but, this result was not statistically significant (p<0/05). Conclusion: Considering the important role of people's awareness, attitude and performance towards COVID-19 in disease prevention, it seems that other factors such as the benefits and risks of the vaccine and the level of people's trust in the government and their country had an effect on the acceptance of the vaccine.

Introduction: Wheat bread is the staple food all over the world. Gluten sensitivity in some people has led to the development of gluten-free ones. Inulin is a soluble dietary fiber with beneficial nutritional effects is able to restore the function of gluten in gluten-free products by increasing water absorption and creating a structure. The function of gluten depends on its polymerization degree. This study is aimed to investigate the effect of inulin polymerization degree on the technological and nutritional characteristics of rice-acorn flour based gluten-free bread. Methods: This study is an experimental type. To investigate the effect of the inulin polymerization degree on technological and nutritional characteristics of rice:acorn flour based gluten-free bread, the textural, physicochemical, sensory characteristics and inulin stability of samples enriched inulin with different polymerization degree were assessed. All tests were done in triplicate. Data analysis was done with SPSS 25 software Results: Results indicated that the optimized technological characteristics and lowest inulin loss ratio (31% w/w-1) is found at gluten-free bread samples containing 30% w/w-1 of acorn flour and long-chain inulin fermented by MF-SD (A30R70SL). Long-chain inulin is found to be able to restore gases produced during the fermentation and expanded through cooking process, which seems to be induced by its potential ability to form a gel. Conclusion: Using long-chain inulin is recommended to achieve desirable technological characteristics and high nutritional value in the formulation of gluten-free bread.

Abstract Background: Today, out of every 5% to 10% of patients admitted to the hospital, one patient is involved in the complications of hospital infections, which has been confirmed to be directly related to the spread of these infections with the contamination of hospital surfaces. Therefore, it is very important to use an efficient method to identify microbial contamination. To this end, this study was carried out to compare the level of contamination of indoor hospital surfaces using two methods of dye detector nanosensor and microbial culture medium (traditional method). Method: The present descriptive study was carried out with a sample size of 400 cases on ten types of medical equipment for three months using dye detector nanosensor and microbial culture medium. The results were reported as clean and contaminated. Results: According to the results, 44% of the samples of microbial culture medium and 45.5% of nanosensor samples were reported positive (contaminated). The samples obtained from static microbial culture, ventilator, and the samples obtained from nanosensor, static, and pulse oximetry were identified as the most contaminated surfaces. Also, E. coli (55.68%), Staphylococcus aureus (28.9%), and Salmonella (23.86%) were recognized as the most common microorganisms. Conclusion: The amount of contamination detected by both methods is acceptable due to the high sensitivity of both methods and lack of sterile surfaces. Therefore, in cases where only the detection of general contamination is considered, not isolation of bacteria, dye detector nanosensors can be used as a rapid method to control the contamination of surfaces instead of traditional methods.

Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the relationship between stress, anxiety and depression with the quality of life of patients with multiple sclerosis. MS was performed. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in 2018-2019 on 245 patients with multiple sclerosis in Shahrekord city. Non-random sampling method was used and data collection tool was Depression, Anxiety and Stress Questionnaire (DASS-21) and Quality of Life Questionnaire in Multiple Sclerosis Patients (MISIS-29). The data were analyzed through spss 20 software. Results: In the present study, only 26/6% of patients experienced high quality of life, and 30/5% of patients had severe to moderate anxiety, 13/8% moderate stress, and 34/2% moderate and severe depression. There was a significant relationship between the stress and anxiety of the patients and their jobs (p<0/05) and also there was a significant difference between the quality of life and the education of the patients (p<0/05). A significant relationship was observed between the state of stress, depression and anxiety of the patients with the quality of life and with the physical and mental subscales (P<0/001). Conclusion: The results indicated the prevalence of mental disorders in patients with MS, which has affected the quality of life of patients. Therefore, providing suitable interventions to deal with or adapt to these symptoms and ultimately improve the quality of life in multiple sclerosis patients seems necessary.

Abstract Introduction: Corona virus infected all the countries of the world due to its high spread in less than a few months, so it became necessary to promote preventive behaviors of the disease in correct health plans. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of determining the Preventive Covid-19 behavior among Youth using the health belief model. Methods: This descriptive-cross-sectional study was conducted on 412 youth people aged 18-30 in Khomeyni shahr of Isfahan province. The information was collected using a standardized researcher-made questionnaire based on the health belief model using available sampling. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS 22 software. Results: Preventive behaviors and obstacles to doing it were more in women than in men. A positive and significant correlation was observed between age, education level and preventive behaviors of covid-19. There was a positive and significant correlation between preventive behaviors from Covid-19 with perceived sensitivity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers and self-efficacy. Meanwhile, the strongest correlation in this study was between self-efficacy and perceived benefits. Conclusion: According to the findings of the research and the relationship between the structures that make up the health belief model and the preventive behaviors of the corona disease in young people, it seems that the use of methods based on the health belief model to increase the preventive behaviors of the Covid-19, especially in men, is effective and recommended. It is also suggested that changing self-efficacy structures and perceived benefits should be prioritized in the design of future interventions to promote preventive behaviors against corona disease in young people.

Introduction: Probiotics, as live microorganisms, exert beneficial effects on controlling diseases. Considering the lack of study in this field, the present study was conducted to assess the barriers of probiotic product's usage and the status of knowledge, attitude, and practice among nurses and medical sciences students in Maragheh city. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was carried out on 386 subjects (59 nurses and 327 students) of both genders at Maragheh University of Medical Sciences between 2020 and 2021. Convenience sampling was used on educational-therapeutic centers of Maragheh University of Medical Sciences. Data were collected by a questionnaire consisting of 35 questions, validity and reliability of which were previously evaluated. Independent sample t-test was used to compare the score of knowledge, attitude, performance and barriers, and Chi-square test was used to compare qualitative variables between the two groups of nurses and students.Values less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: Overall, 386 subjects (129 men and 257 women) completed the study. About 54% of participants did not have enough knowledge regarding probiotics. Regarding the barriers to consumption, nearly 57% stated that there was no comprehensive and sufficient information about probiotic products, and 46% of participants mentioned that access to probiotic products was poor. There was a significant difference (p<0.001) between the two groups in terms of being interested in learning more about probiotics, welcoming probiotic workshops, using live microbes in controlling diseases and in the family's shopping basket, the healthier status of probiotic foods compared with current supplements and the effect of probiotics on the outcome of the treatment protocol (p<0.001). Conclusion: The involvement of media in raising awareness about the safety of probiotic products and general education in schools and the community through nurses and healthcare providers is recommended.
