Background and Objective: Diabetic patients experience a plethora of emotional problems in addition to physiological physical problems, which can affect the course of their disease. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of compassion-focused therapy (CFT) in alexithymia, adaptive behavior, treatment adherence, and blood sugar of patients with type 2 diabetes. Materials and Methods: In this study, a quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest and control group was adopted. The study population included the patients with type 2 diabetes in Ahvaz, Iran, in 2020 referring to my center. The sample size (n=30) was selected using convenience sampling, and the participants were randomly and equally assigned to the experimental (CFT) and control groups. To collect study data, the Toronto Alexithymia Scale, Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale, Treatment Adherence Questionnaire, and blood sugar test were used. The CFT group received eight sessions of intervention (each session lasting for 2 h). Multivariate analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data. Results: The obtained results showed that CFT had a significant effect on alexithymia (F=9.27;P=0.006), adaptive behavior (F=6.75;P=0.016), and treatment adherence (F=15.26;P=0.001) of patients with type 2 diabetes in the posttest. There was no significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the blood sugar test (F=0.08;P=0.786). Conclusion: Based on the obtained findings, it can be concluded that CFT is effective in increasing the level of adaptive behavior and treatment adherence.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment-based therapy and compassion-focused therapy on the quality of life of mothers with gestational diabetes. Methods: The research method is quasi-experimental with pre-test-post-test-three-group follow-up. The statistical population of the study was all pregnant mothers who referred to Milad Hospital in Tehran in 2019, who were diagnosed with gestational diabetes. In order to form three groups using purposive sampling method (considering the inclusion and exit criteria), 45 patients were selected and then randomly divided into three groups of 15 (acceptance and commitment therapy, compassionate treatment and group Witness) were assigned. Forman and Herbert (2008) acceptance and commitment group training, and Gilbert (2007) self-compassion training were performed for the second experimental group. Also, a three-month follow-up phase was performed on all three groups. The research tool was the quality of life of the World Health Organization (1986). Data analyzed by repeated measure analysis of variance and spss.22. Results: The results showed that acceptance and commitment therapy and compassion-focused therapy had a significant effect on improving the quality of life in mothers with gestational diabetes (p <0.001). Conclusion: As a result, acceptance and commitment therapy has a greater impact on the quality of life of mothers with gestational diabetes than compassion-focused therapy.

Background: One proposed methods to reduce the amount of bleeding during and after cesarean section, is the use of drugs such as Tranexamic acid and Misoprostol.This study aimed to compare the effect of Tranexamicacid and Misoprostol on bloodloss during and after cesarean section. Methods: This is a randomized clinicaltrial performed in Shariati and Khalij-e-Fars Hospitals of Bandar Abbas, Hormozgan, during 2015-2016. The study population included all candidates for cesarean section. 300 pregnant women aged 18-40 years with gestational age of 37-42 weeks were included, divided into three groups each: A received tranexamic acid,B, misoprostol, and C, 200 cc normal saline. During C/S , all patients received 20 and 30 units of oxytocin, respectively. The level of blood loss during the operation was determined by measuring the total blood volume suctioned after removing the placenta and the difference in the weight of bloody sterile pads and surgical sheets before and after the operation. Results: Preoperative hemoglobin level was 11.96±1mg/dl in the groupA,11.62±1.21mg/dl in the groupB, and 12.28±1.26mg/dl in the placebo group, which was statistically significant (P=0.001). Postoperative hemoglobin level was reduced about 1.02±0.35(10.9 ±0.99mg/dl) in the groupA, 1.19±0.52(10.46±1.04mg/dl) in the groupB, and 1.36±0.50(10.93±1.34mg/dl) in the placebo group.

Although most of the Coronary Artery Fistulae to venous system are congenital , we present a case who was treated conservatively and developed an acquired post CABG fistula formation between Right Coronary Artery and Superior Vena Cava that due to with allow-flow shunt and few symptoms. Case presentation We present a 65 year-old man with history of CABG 3 years earlier who present with chest pain. He had developed a 3-vessel diseases well as a recent Myocardial Infarction (MI) with reduced EF (EF= 25%) he presented a Chest Discomfort since 2 month after discharge that increasing by any physical activity. Consultant Cardiologist decided to perform Coronary Angiography to assess the condition of Native Coronary Artery and also Coronary Grafts well. on coronary angiography all of grafts was patents and but there was an abnormal communication between proximal of native Right Coronary Artery and Superior Vena Cava that finally fill the Right Atrium. Conclusion Clinically, although most of Coronary Artery Fistulae are silent and asymptomatic due to Limited amount of shunt, but in some rare cases in which there is a large shunt and steal of coronary circulation, symptoms and signs of Ischemic Heart disease appears that there are surgical and interventional options for closure of this abnormal communications.

Conclusion Clinically, although most of Coronary Artery Fistulae are silent and asymptomatic due to Limited amount of shunt, but in some rare cases in which there is a large shunt and steal of coronary circulation, symptoms and signs of Ischemic Heart disease appears that there are surgical and interventional options for closure of this abnormal communications.","PeriodicalId":20994,"journal":{"name":"Razavi International Journal of Medicine","volume":"9 1","pages":"69-72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70076779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background: Family cohesion affects health, mental and physical well-being, academic achievement, and emotional health of the family with disturbance of family environment and feelings of depression, aggressive behaviors and delinquency, and disruption of family members' self-concept. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of psychological education based on Olson's model on family cohesion of schizophrenic patients in Bushehr. Method: The research method was semi-experimental with a pretest-posttest and follow-up design. The statistical population consisted of 425 patients in all families of schizophrenic patients who were treated in the province's medical centers (both governmental and non-governmental) in Bushehr in 2019. The sample size in this study will be 30 parents of schizophrenic patients. All of them had inclusion criteria and were selected by convenience sampling method and randomly assigned to the experimental and control group. Data obtained by Faces-III Scale (Olson et al., 1983)and analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance and post-test by Spss.22. Results: The results showed that psychological training based on the Olson model effectively improved family cohesion of schizophrenic patients (p <0.001). Conclusion: Providing psychological services is necessary to promote and cohere the families of schizophrenic patients, so it can be said that psychological training based on family cohesion and flexibility can be used to promote and cohere the families of schizophrenic patients and provide the ground for their psychological care.

Introduction: This study aims to investigate the role of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery by off-pump and on-pump methods in the severity of postoperative inflammation based on serum levels of interleukin 6 (IL6) and interleukin 17 (IL17). Methods: This is a cross-sectional study in which 39 patients’ candidate for CABG were evaluated in terms of serum levels of IL17 and IL6 before and after surgery in two groups of off-pump and on-pump CABG. Results: Thirty-nine patients with an average age of 63±8.9 in the on-pump group and 59±7.74 in the off-pump group were evaluated. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of baseline information and underlying diseases. IL6 serum level (p=0.249) was not significantly difference between the two groups. However, IL17 serum level (p=0.012) demonstrated a significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: In general, the results of this study showed that increased IL6 serum level following coronary artery bypass was not different between the two methods of CABG surgery. Besides, IL17 exhibited a significant difference between the two groupsi that it was reduced in on-pump group in after surgery. It can be due to special condition’s patients or low sample size of study. Moreover, the postoperative complications were not significantly different between the two groups. This valuable outcome contradicts the popular belief that the use of the CARDIO PULMONARY BYPASS (CPB) system stimulates the immune system and hence its application should be limited.
