Introduction: Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease that is caused by the destruction of melanocytes and is appeared as depigmented patches on skin and mucosa. There have been various reports of serum Vitamin D levels in patients with vitiligo. The present study aimed to Evaluation of serum Vitamin D levels in patients with vitiligo. Material and Methods: A case-control study was performed on 138 samples among people referring to Sabzevar Vasei clinic in the period of 2018-2019. The research units meeting the inclusion criteria were selected using convenience sampling and then divided into two group case and control (69 patients and 69 healthy people). After obtaining informed consent and completing the checklist of demographic characteristics, blood samples were taken from both groups and serum levels of Vitamin D in both groups were evaluated and compared. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20 via the independent t-test, chi-square test, Mann-Whitney test, Spearman correlation at a significance level of less than 0.01. Results: In total, 131 participants completed the study; the two groups did not differ significantly in terms of age nor gender. At the end of the study, the mean of serum levels of Vitamin D in was significantly lower in the patients with vitiligo than in the people without vitiligo (P <0.001). Conclusion: The results showed that serum Vitamin D levels in patients with vitiligo are lower than in those who do not have vitiligo. Therefore, it is recommended to measure the serum level of Vitamin D in these patients and if it is low, a treatment regimen should begin for these patients.

Introduction: Dental health professionals and patients are at high risk of COVID-19 exposure due to blood and saliva droplets generated during dental procedures. People’s adherence for infection control is affected by their knowledge, attitudes, and practices towards COVID-19. Considering that dental practice is one of the most dangerous professions in terms of exposure to the disease, this study examines the knowledge and attitudes of dentists regarding COVID-19 in north of Iran. Material and Methods: This descriptive study was based on questionnaires that were distributed among dentists in north of Iran. Demographic characteristics, knowledge of participants about COVID-19 and infection control measures and their attitudes were evaluated. The effect of pandemic on dentists’ life and quality of dental services were also investigated. Results: Totally, 125 dentists completed the questionnaire (99 general dentists and 26 specialists). The majority of participants (n=84, 67.2%) did not perform unnecessary dental procedures during the pandemic, and 114 (91.2%) of them changed their working hours. The most of contributors (N=207, 86%) focus on preventive care, not perform unnecessary treatments and reduce the treatment sessions at the lowest possible. Conclusion: The present study concluded that majority of the participants had good knowledge and positive attitude regarding dental care and related preventive measures in the pandemic period. Although, it is suggested that dental health professionals continue to strengthen knowledge and improve attitude by health training programs.

Introduction: Herpes zoster, which is infected with varicella zoster virus (VZV), is a neurological infection and an immunodeficiency syndrome. Most patients who contact physicians complain of itchy and sometimes painful skin rashes. Herpes zoster, also known as "shingles," results from the reactivation of VZV in the dorsal ganglia. Most skin patches occur on the hands or abdomen; rashes on the feet are rare. We aimed to report Herpes zoster presentation in the foot. Case Presentation: A 47-year-old male patient presented to private practice with a rash, itching, and pain in the left lower extremity for 3 days. He was diagnosed with herpes zoster and symptoms were relieved by the administration of acyclovir five times daily for one week. The patient was advised to use Calamine lotion, a cool bath, and a cold compress to relieve the pain and itching. On his next visit to the office, the rash on the left lower extremity disappeared after using the prescriptions and methods. Conclusion: Considering that the prevalence of herpes zoster in the hands and feet is very low and only 7 cases have been reported in the world. This case was reported for the first time in Iran. Knowing the presentation of the disease and getting to know the patients' complaints can help in timely diagnosis and control.

Introduction: Malaria is one of the most common chief health problems all over the world and pharmacotherapy is the common treatment for this disease. Additionally, mankind is blessed with varied range of herbal plants for several ailments which are useful for malaria treatment. The purpose of this investigation is to review the existing studies on the effectiveness of herbal plants in treatment of malaria. Material and Methods: In this study, related articles were reviewed based on keywords and phrases such as antimalarial drugs, herbal plants, treatment in PubMed, Google Scholar, IranDoc and SID (Scientific Information Database) databases from 2003 to 2022. Results: The findings revealed that the main problem associated with medical treatment is emergence of drug resistance which leads to treatment failure in significant cases and results in the antimalarials’ ineffective drugs. Therefore, the chief available alternative since ancient times is medicinal plants all over the world. The review revealed that more than 2000 medicinal plant species from different families were traditionally used in the treatment of malaria and most of them confirmed antimalarial activities. Conclusion: It looks critical to take an effective action for developing a perfect malaria vaccine which would work properly by activating the immune system to destroy all the parasites. The current investigation is useful for researchers and pharmaco-therapists.

Introduction: Husband artificial intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a standard method of assisted reproduction for patients with mild male infertility, anovulation, endometriosis, and unknown infertility. In this study, we evaluated the effect of luteal phase support on the success rate of IUI cycles with vaginal micronized progesterone compared to the control. Material and Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 94 infertile women referring to two infertility centers in Sari, Iran, from 2015 to 2021. In these women, Clomiphene citrate or Letrozole was used, follicular monitoring continued, and human Gonadotropin was added based on ultra-sonographic findings. Intramuscular HCG was added when one or two follicles were to 17 mm. IUI was done 36 hours later, and micronized vaginal progesterone 400mg once daily was added on the day after insemination (n=114). IUI outcomes were evaluated with a serum Beta-HCG test and vaginal ultrasound two and five weeks later. Pregnant women were followed up until the end of the pregnancy. Data were analyzed with SPSS25 and STATA14 software. Results: Progesterone consumption had no significant relationship with pregnancy rates but a significant correlation with the number of antral follicles. Pregnancy occurrence was significantly associated with patient satisfaction, FSH, and AMH levels but not correlated with the duration and kinds of infertility. Conclusion: Vaginal micronized progesterone as luteal phase support is not effective in increasing pregnancy occurrences in IUI cycles like IVF cycles, but patients’ satisfaction may be increased among women impregnated undergoing IUI and progesterone support.

A Simple and fast QuEChERS method has been applied for extraction of imidacloprid from human biological samples. Imidacloprid the was extracted from blood and liver of a deceased body admitted to the legal Medicine of Mazandaran. Factors affecting the extraction procedure such as type of the organic solvent and its volume, amount of salt, amount of sorbent, and pH were examined and optimized for the maximum recovery. The appropriate condition for extraction of imidacloprid was as follows: sample pH=5, 3mL of acetonitrile, 0.1 g of NaCl, and 0.4 g of MgSO4. The maximum recovery of imidacloprid at these conditions was 96%. The LOD and LOQ were 0.02 and 0.06 ppm, respectively. Finally, the blood and liver samples were extracted under the appropriate condition and determined using HPLC which is equipped with a photodiode array detector. The amounts of Imidacloprid in blood and liver samples were 11 and 1.8 ppm, respectively.

Introduction: Nowadays non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFAD) is considered as a serious problem in human societies. Recently, the possibility of an association between endometriosis and NAFAD has been considered. This study was designed to evaluate some general inflammation parameters and hepatic lesions during and after experimental endometriosis. Material and Methods: In 20 female rats, the endometriosis model was induced by suturing parts of the uterine horn wall to the mesenteric gut. After four weeks, the rats in group I were euthanized and endometriosis cysts and some fragments of their liver were used for histopathological evaluation. At the same time, endometrial cysts were surgically removed in the rats of group II and they were kept for four weeks later. In addition, hematobiochemical evaluation was performed. In group II, similar evaluative investigations were performed 8 weeks after experimental surgery. Results: Significant increase in triglyceride, LDL, AST, ALP, ALT and estrogen parameters was observed in this study (P˂0.05), Whereas, total WBC count, lymphocyte, PCV and HDL level decreased significantly (P˂0.05). In histopathological evaluation, induction of endometriosis was confirmed at the microscopic level, but no evidence of fatty liver or hepatic inflammation was found. Conclusion: Despite notable changes in some hematobiochemical factors in rats with experimental endometriosis, there was no evidence of fatty liver and hepatic inflammation. Therefore, there may be no association between endometriosis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Introduction: HPV is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections. The Gardasil vaccine can act as a prophylactic against the virus. Since parents are very important in adolescents 'decisions, this study is a review of interventions affecting parents' knowledge and attitudes about HPV vaccine through a systematic review method. Material and Methods: This study was conducted in 2022 with steps, designing a study question, identifying related studies from 2005 to 2022. Selecting studies out of 818 studies, 10 articles were selected to announce the results and then the data were classified. The relevant search was performed in the available databases. The keywords were selected based on the mesh according to the text. Results: A total of 10 experimental and quasi-experimental studies were reviewed. The results of these studies were divided into four categories according to the type of intervention and the statistical population in the intervention group located in each study: face-to-face group education, virtual group education, community-based education, and intervention based on health belief model. Eight studies were conducted in the face-to-face and virtual group education category. In the community-based education category, the interventions were performed virtually and there is a study. The other category, which was related to the health belief model, also changed the knowledge and attitude of parents. Conclusion: The results showed that interventions for parents are effective in vaccination and changes in knowledge and attitude. Therefore, it is recommended that different methods of educational intervention be used to encourage parents to get the HPV vaccine for their adolescents.

Introduction: Telephone follow-up is known for sharing information, providing health education, diagnosing complications quickly, managing symptoms, and providing quality aftercare services. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of patient education and telephone follow-up on self-care and self-efficacy as well as readmission rate of heart patients with COVID-19. Material and Methods: In this interventional study, 64 heart patients with COVID-19 admitted to a training center in northern Iran during the period from June 1 to September 22, in 2020 were intervened. Data collection tools included demographic and clinical questionnaires, Scherer self-care and self-efficacy questionnaires. After completing the questionnaires and teaching self-care about corona disease and heart disease to patients during six sessions over the phone (10-20 minutes), the researcher again completed the self-care and self-efficacy questionnaires on the fourteenth day. For data analysis, paired t-test and independent t-test were used using SPSS software version 21. Results: The mean age of participants was 59.53±15.32. The results showed that the mean score of self- care after the intervention had a significant increase (P<0.001), so that the mean score of self- care before the intervention was 54 and after the intervention was 60.14, the mean score of self-efficacies after the intervention increased which is not statistically significant. Conclusion: Education and follow-up of heart patients with COVID-19 is associated with increased self-care in patients every day. Therefore, follow-up programs, especially telephone follow-up, are recommended to improve the health status of patients.
