Background: Pain is an important clinical factor that limits movement and functions. Informal caregivers of stroke survivors are primarily involved in providing care and assistance and may face musculoskeletal problems. Objectives: This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain (MSP) and associated factors among informal caregivers of stroke survivors in northwestern Nigeria. Methods: This was a hospital-based cross-sectional study performed among 218 informal caregivers of stroke survivors. Data on sociodemographic characteristics, nature of caregiving, and duration of caregiving were collected using researcher-designed data forms. A 12-month prevalence of MSP in different body regions was obtained using the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data at an alpha level of 0.05. Results: The majority of the caregivers were female (60.6%) within the age range of 18 - 27 years old (50.9%) and engaged in full-time caregiving (63.8%). The overall prevalence of MSP among the caregivers was 16.5%. The most common MSP was low back pain (28%) and was found to be associated with age, gender, body mass index (BMI), marital status, educational level, occupational status, duration of caregiving, and nature of caregiving (all P

Background: Excessive sun exposure in childhood and adolescence is an important factor in skin cancer. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the knowledge, attitude, and practice of female high school students in Birjand, Iran, regarding sun protection behaviors and investigate the effect of various environmental and demographic factors. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on female high school students in Birjand within October to January 2018 using the stratified cluster random sampling method. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire containing various items related to knowledge, attitude, and practice, the validity of which was confirmed. Information was also obtained on the geographical location of the school, field of study, grade, grade point average, and parents’ educational level. The data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 22) based on descriptive-analytical analyses. Results: Out of a total of 576 students, 26.7%, 89.1%, and 53.6% had good knowledge, attitude, and practice of skin protection against ultraviolet rays. The practice scores of southern and western school students with better socioeconomic status were higher than in other geographic regions (P < 0.001). The students in experimental sciences had higher knowledge (P = 0.01), and students in humanities had a higher attitude (P = 0.03) and practice (P = 0.007) than the other two disciplines. The third-grade students scored higher on knowledge (P < 0.001). The students whose mothers had university education scored higher in knowledge, attitude, and practice. Moreover, those whose fathers had a university education scored higher in practice. Knowledge and attitude had a significant relationship with practice; attitude had a higher coefficient. Conclusions: Practice can be improved by increasing the levels of knowledge and attitude. The educational level of the parents, especially mothers, is very important in this regard.

Introduction: Absent right renal vein is very uncommon. This study aimed to describe a case of the absent right renal vein with drainage from the upper pole of the kidney into the right suprarenal vein and then into the ipsilateral gonadal vein. Case Presentation: A 25-year-old female patient with abdominal pain was referred to the radiology clinic for abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT) with oral and intravenous contrast. On CT images, the right renal vein was absent. The drainage of the right kidney was through the upper pole to the suprarenal vein and thereafter to the right gonadal vein and the inferior vena cava (IVC). Some suprarenal veins were drained to the superior mesenteric vein via collaterals. The IVC diameter, especially the intrahepatic portion, was decreased. Conclusions: The absence of the right renal vein is very rare, and to the best of our knowledge, drainage from the upper pole into the ipsilateral gonadal vein has not been previously reported in the literature.

Background: The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has had unsolvable psychosocial effects on human beings. The marginalized community, especially drug users, probably suffer from greater psychosocial burden. Objectives: The current study aimed to predict COVID-19-induced anxiety based on attachment styles, resilience, and life expectancy in drug users. Methods: The present study is correlational descriptive-analytical research. The statistical population of this study included all drug users in 2021 who were in the process of abstaining from substance use and attended narcotics anonymous (NA) sessions in Bojnurd. In total, 134 addicts were selected based on the available sampling method. For data collection, the Corona Disease Anxiety Scale (CDAS) by Alipour et al., Attachment Styles Questionnaire (AAQ) by Hazen and Shaver, Resilience Scale by Davidson, and Miller Hope Scale (MHS) were used. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, and stepwise regression using SPSS 18. Results: As hypothesized, COVID-19-induced anxiety was predicted based on attachment styles, resilience, and life expectancy. Multiple correlation coefficient (0.87) was found between independent variables (attachment styles, resilience, and life expectancy) and COVID-19-induced variable, and attachment styles, resilience, and life expectancy could predict 76% (R2) of COVID-19-induced anxiety changes. Conclusions: COVID-19 and addiction are two epidemic and overlapping diseases and cause a serious threat to public health. According to the findings of this study, in order to prevent COVID-19-induced anxiety in drug users, it is necessary to consider their attachment styles, resilience, and life expectancy.

: The world is currently in a large-scale outbreak, referred to as a pandemic, for the novel coronavirus disease SARS-CoV-2 and its variants. Patients having cancer have to combat their illness and its complications, but they also have to suffer a list of side effects due to chemotherapy. This article is written to suggest a list of nutritional considerations for chemotherapeutic patients at this stage of the COVID-19 pandemic to enhance their immune system. Since nutrition has a decisive role in immune response, specifically in immuno-suppressed patients, such as those undergoing chemotherapy. Due to the complexity of designing a diet for the mentioned patients, we recommend a balanced and varied diet in the COVID-19 pandemic, including zinc, omega-3, vitamin D, whole grains, and skimmed dairy, which were discussed in great detail in the article.

Introduction: Anatomic variation in the circle of Willis (CoW) is a common finding among the population. Headache has been reported as one of the symptoms of these variations. Case Presentation: Recent studies suggest a possible association between neurovascular accidents and these variations. In this case, a 50-year-old male presenting with headache underwent imaging evaluation, revealing anatomic variations in CoW. Conclusions: Headaches with or without neurological symptoms or a history of migraine and transient ischemic attack (TIA) may suggest the diagnosis of CoW disease and variations, and additional imaging evaluation is recommended in these cases.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a viral infectious disease and a pandemic since late 2019. One of the factors affecting the quality of life (QoL) and longevity of patients is social support. Social support reduces the effects of stress and calls for effective coping responses in the face of illness. Patients behave better if they have social support. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the QoL and perceived social support in patients with improved COVID-19 in Birjand, Iran, in 2020. Methods: Using the available sampling method, the participants of this descriptive-analytical study were selected from the list of patients in the health center. A total of 100 patients with improved COVID-19 were included. Data were collected using the demographic information, the Perceived Social Support (PSS) Questionnaire (Kanti-Michel and Zimmet 2000), and WHOQOL-BREF Questionnaire. Data were analyzed by descriptive and analytical tests (one-way analysis of variance and correlation test) using SPSS version 22 at a significance level of P < 0.05. Results: The mean age of participants was 50.08 ± 9.63 years and 44% of the samples were male. The mean score of perceived social support was 52.15 ± 7.62 (out of 60), and the mean QoL score was 86.63 ± 16.72 (out of 100). Also, there was a significant relationship between perceived social support and QoL (P = 0.03, r = 0.21). Conclusions: Our findings showed a significant relationship between perceived social support and QoL. Thus, implementation of interventions to promote perceived social support and QoL by the governments, health care workers, family, and friends is essential.
背景:2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)是一种病毒性传染病，自2019年底以来出现了大流行。社会支持是影响患者生活质量和寿命的因素之一。社会支持减少压力的影响，并要求在面对疾病时作出有效的应对反应。如果病人有社会支持，他们会表现得更好。目的:本研究的目的是评估2020年伊朗Birjand地区COVID-19改善患者的生活质量和感知社会支持。方法:采用现有的抽样方法，从卫生中心的病人名单中选择描述性分析研究的参与者。共纳入100例COVID-19好转患者。采用人口统计信息、感知社会支持(PSS)问卷(Kanti-Michel and Zimmet 2000)和WHOQOL-BREF问卷收集数据。数据采用描述性检验和分析性检验(单因素方差分析和相关检验)，采用SPSS version 22，显著性水平P < 0.05。结果:参与者平均年龄为50.08±9.63岁，男性占44%。感知社会支持平均得分为52.15±7.62(60分)，生活质量平均得分为86.63±16.72(100分)。感知社会支持与生活质量存在显著相关(P = 0.03, r = 0.21)。结论:我们的研究结果显示感知社会支持与生活质量之间存在显著的关系。因此，实施干预措施以促进政府、卫生保健工作者、家庭和朋友感知到的社会支持和生活质量至关重要。

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic and its subsequent changes in the community lifestyle can be associated with problems and complications. It seems very important to identify the problems caused by the COVID-19 pandemic accurately. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate behavioral changes in children due to the COVID-19 pandemic in South Khorasan in 2021. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 312 children were studied. Inclusion criteria included all children under 12 years of age without apparent mental disorders and chronic diseases affecting behavioral changes. Exclusion criteria were parental separation, experiencing natural disasters in the last two years, losing a first-degree family member in the last two years, and any underlying disease in the child and first-degree family members. The questionnaires included a demographic questionnaire and the Ruther Children's Behavior Questionnaire, completed by parents online due to the COVID-19 epidemic and the new situation. Results: The results showed that the behavioral disorder prevalence was 37.2% (n = 116). The mean scores were 3.10 ± 2.23 for aggression-hyperactivity, 3.11 ± 3.08 for anxiety-depression, 2.65 ± 1.79 for social maladaptation, 2.34 ± 1.83 for antisocial behavior, and 1.59 ± 1.29 for attention deficit. There was no significant relationship between demographic indicators and behavioral disorders (P > 0.05). Conclusions: The results indicated an increase in the prevalence of behavioral disorders in children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, it seems necessary to identify influencing factors and find appropriate solutions to prevent such disorders.
