Introduction: COVID-19 can rapidly cause lung damage and severe respiratory distress and subsequently reduce oxygen saturation (SPO2), especially in generally ill patients, which may be exacerbated if severe clinical symptoms or underlying diseases are added. This may lead to deterioration of blood oxygenation or even increase the risk of death when severe clinical symptoms or underlying diseases are present. Therefore, the aim of this study was to Evaluation of the relationship between arterial blood oxygen saturation level and outcome in COVID-19 patients.Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study of 250 patients referred to Imam Sari Hospital with symptoms of respiratory infection, gastrointestinal, and general symptoms in January 2020 to September 2020. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26.Results: 27 out of 250 patients died. There is a positive correlation between systemic patient, SPO2 and less than 90% with death results (P<0/02). Patients with heart disease (44.4%), cancer (30.1%), diabetes (11.1%), cerebrovascular accident (18.5%) died (P<0/05). There was no positive correlation between weakness, fever, dyspnea, nausea, and diarrhea and appetite loss with death.Conclusion: Based on the present study, it was found that patients whose clinical symptoms were associated with underlying disease and SPO2 to a severe and critical degree had a higher risk of adverse outcome such as death. People with underlying conditions such as DM, CVD, HTN, and a history of angiography and cancer are also more likely to die due to COVID-19. Most deaths in the present study had low SPO2 at before admission, indicating a strong association between patient mortality and severity of lung involvement and low SPO2.
COVID-19可迅速引起肺损伤和严重呼吸窘迫，并随之降低血氧饱和度(SPO2)，特别是在一般患者中，如果加上严重的临床症状或基础疾病，可能会加剧。这可能导致血液氧合恶化，甚至在出现严重临床症状或潜在疾病时增加死亡风险。因此，本研究的目的是评估COVID-19患者动脉血氧饱和度与预后的关系。材料和方法:对2020年1月至2020年9月期间因呼吸道感染、胃肠道和一般症状转诊至伊玛目萨里医院的250例患者进行横断面研究。数据分析采用SPSS version 26。结果:250例患者中27例死亡。系统性患者、SPO2及低于90%与死亡结果呈正相关(P<0/02)。心脏病(44.4%)、癌症(30.1%)、糖尿病(11.1%)、脑血管意外(18.5%)患者死亡(P<0/05)。虚弱、发热、呼吸困难、恶心、腹泻和食欲减退与死亡无正相关。结论:本研究发现，临床症状与基础疾病及SPO2相关程度达到严重、危重程度的患者发生死亡等不良结局的风险较高。患有糖尿病、心血管疾病、HTN以及有血管造影和癌症史等潜在疾病的人也更有可能死于COVID-19。本研究中大多数死亡患者入院前SPO2水平较低，表明患者死亡率、肺部受累严重程度和低SPO2水平之间存在密切关联。

Introduction: The aim of this in vitro study was to determine and compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of two types of composites. Material and Methods: Twenty cylindrical samples were prepared and divided into two control and case groups. The case group consisted of 10 cylindrical samples of two types of composites (3M and Vivadent), and the control group, which was divided into two subgroups of 5, included only one type of composite (3M or Vivadent). After preparation, the samples were transferred to the Instron device for testing the SBS. The data were analyzed by SPSS version 15 software using Smirnov-Kolmogorov test for studying the normal distribution of data and t-student test for independent populations. Results: Heliomolar (Ivoclar-Vivadent) composite (microfill) showed the lowest SBS, but the difference was not significant (P>0.05). The highest SBS was for Filtek Z100 (3M ESPE) composite. There were no fracture lines in the interface of the two composites. Conclusion: This confirms that proper use of adhesives can prevent fracture in the interface of different composites. So, using two different composite brands on each other does not reduce the bond strength between them.

Introduction: Dental treatments have a high-risk nature due to the close relationship between the patient and direct exposure to saliva, blood, etc. Concerns about the transmission of COVID-19 infection have led to the formation of some form of patient fear. Therefore, considering the importance of mental health, the present study was designed to investigate the degree of anxiety in people with COVID-19 through dentistry.Material and Methods: In the present descriptive study, 384 questionnaires were randomly distributed among the patients of Sari Dental Clinic in the period of April to June 2021. After the necessary explanations and obtaining informed written consent, the questionnaires were completed by the clients. Finally, the data were analyzed using SPSS V.22 software and statistical tests. Values greater than 0.05 were also considered significant.Results: In this study, 29.2% were male and 68.8% were female, and corona-related anxiety was more common in women and married people. As they got older, they tended to respond to higher options like most of the time or always. The higher the level of education, the less noticeable the unnecessary visits to the dental clinic.Conclusion: People were more worried about transmitting the disease to those around them and this anxiety was more in women than men. Married people were also more anxious than single people. Anxiety was significantly higher in the unemployed than in the employed. There was a significant relationship between degree and level of anxiety and people with higher education levels showed more anxiety.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune assault on pancreatic β-cells characterized by a decrease in insulin production. The worldwide incidence rate of T1D is reportedly increasing. In parallel with the increase of T1D, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) also appear as two risk factors for hyperglycemia. This case report presents a T1D patient with DKA and HHS who was finally discharged after recovery.

Introduction: Various studies have shown that vincristine and permethrin have genetic toxicity on the body's normal cells. Due to the widespread use of these drugs, preventing their toxicity is essential; therefore, in this study, the protective effects of vitamin C and melatonin on the genetic toxicity induced by vincristine and permethrin in peripheral blood lymphocytes were investigated. Material and Methods: The protective effects of vitamin C and melatonin (doses of 50, 100 and 200 µm) on the toxicity of vincristine and permethrin induced by micronucleus test on peripheral blood lymphocytes were evaluated ,and in statistical tests P <0.05 as the significant level was considered. Results: According to the results vincristine and permethrin caused genetic disorder by 28.80 ± 1.92 and 34±1.58 micronucleus respectively (p<0.0001). However, by exposing vitamin c and melatonin with permethrin at concentrations of 100 μM and 200 μM, the number of micronuclei was significantly decreased by 24.80 ±2.91, 18.00±1.58 (Vit C) and 22.20±3.34, 15.40±1.14 (melatonin) respectively. In contrast, exposure of these two substances together with vincristine in similar concentrations reduced the micronucleus by 16.60± 2.07 ,10.80± 0.83 (Vit C) and 13.00± 1.58, 6.40± 1.14 (melatonin) respectively. Conclusion: As the results of this study showed, permethrin and vincristine both caused genetic toxicity. Melatonin can protect against DNA damage by purifying reactive oxygen species or stimulating the DNA repair system. Vitamin C plays an essential protective role in many toxic reactions of the body. Both antioxidants have been shown to reduce the genetic toxicity of permethrin and vincristine.

Astrodaucus persicus (Boiss) Drude is an annual flowering plant of the Apiaceae family. A. persicus is mainly native to Asia and grows mostly in Iran, Turkey, Syria, and Iraq. In Iran, it grows mainly in Mazandaran, Golestan, Semnan, Tehran, Qazvin, and Kurdistan provinces. In Iran and Turkey, the plant's aerial parts and young roots are traditionally used as food additives. Various studies have been performed on essential oils and plant extracts. Essential oil compounds and some plant extract compounds have been identified. Different pharmacological effects of plant extracts and essential oils have also been reported. Monoterpenes are the main constituents in the essential oils of various parts of A. persicus. Plant extract (especially plant roots extract) effectively treats breast and colorectal cancers, which seems to be due to the presence of benzodioxole compounds or the antioxidant effects in the roots. The ripe fruits of the plant have potent larvicidal effects. Also, the fruits and roots of the plant significantly inhibit Plasmodium berghei, which can be effective in treating malaria.

Since the egression of the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) disease, more than 200 countries and areas around the world were affected. To the present, it is not clear whether COVID-19 has effects on thyroid function or not. The aim of the current study was to assess thyroid function in COVID-19 patients with history of thyroid disease and those without such a history and to find out the thyroid disturbance in both groups. The present study involved 86 COVID-19 affected patients admitted BioLab and the Balsam Hospital, Erbil/ Iraq between January and April 2021. Confirmation of COVID-19 infection all patients by Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) of nasopharyngeal swabs. Thyroid hormones, and thyrotropin (TSH) level was analyzed and assessed. Most of the participants (88.4%) had normal T3 level, and there was no significant difference (p = 0.069) between those with normal T3, TPO and with no history of thyroid disease and those with such a history and/or high TPO. T4 levels of the participants with no history of thyroid disease and normal TPO did not differ significantly (p =0.725) from those with a history of thyroid disease and/or high TPO. Regarding the level of TSH, there was significant difference (p<0.001) between the two fore mentioned groups. There is high prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism in the COVID-19 patients with family history of thyroid disease and high TPO antibody level.
