Background and Objective: Considering the importance of pain management using effective medicines, the present study aimed to compare the analgesic effect of magnesium sulfate and gabapentin on postoperative pain in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Materials and Methods: The present randomized clinical trial study was conducted on patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the operating room of Ayatollah Mousavi Hospital in Zanjan in 2019. The patients were assigned to three groups of 30 using the block randomization method. One group received 50 mg/kg of magnesium sulfate in 100 ml of normal saline within 1 h during the operation, the second group received 600 mg of gabapentin capsule 1 h before the operation, and the third group did not receive any additional medicines. The overall opioid dose, the time of the first analgesic request, and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS ), 6, 12, 18, and 24 h postoperatively were compared in the three groups using repeated measures of ANOVA. Results: Based on the results, there was not a significant difference among the three groups in terms of gender and age (P>0.05). Moreover, the three groups t significantly differ in pain and drug dose received (P<0.001). The results of the Tukey post hoc test demonstrated that the pain and drug dose received in the control group was significantly higher than those in both intervention groups (P<0.001). Nonetheless, this difference between the two groups of magnesium sulfate and gabapentin was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion: As evidenced by the obtained results, in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, gabapentin and magnesium sulfate significantly reduced pain intensity and the need to use drugs; however, there was no significant difference between the two drugs.

Background and Objective: Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in developing countries. Inflammation significantly contributes to the process of atherosclerosis. Therefore, evaluating White Blood Cells (WBC) and platelet counts as markers of inflammatory as well as hematocrit as a marker of blood viscosity may predict coronary events. The present study aimed to evaluate the relationship between hematological indices and the incidence of cardiovascular events. Materials and Methods: This study was based on the results of the Isfahan Cohort Study (ICS) which was a long-term, population-based study of 6504 adults over the age of 35 years with no history of CVD who were followed up for any incidence of CVD from 2001 to 2015. Basic levels of hematological indices were measured by entering the study. Results: About 49.5% of the population were male. The mean age of the population and individuals with CVD were about 51 and 57.6 years, respectively. Significant relationships were observed between systolic and diastolic blood pressures, fasting blood glucose, triglyceride, cholesterol, Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) levels, and waist circumference with the incidence of cardiovascular events (P<0.001 for all). Hematocrit, hemoglobin, RBC, and WBC measures were significantly associated with the incidence of cardiovascular events (P=0.002 for all). There was no significant relationship between platelet levels and the incidence of cardiovascular events. Conclusion: Hematological indices including WBC and RBC counts as well as hemoglobin and hematocrit levels can predict the incidence of cardiovascular events.

Background and Objective: Low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders. Exercise therapy is one of the most common treatments for low back pain. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of 6-week core stability exercises on disability and dynamic balance in women with non-specific chronic low back pain. Materials and Methods: This controlled clinical trial with pre-test, post-test, and follow-up design was performed on 24 women with non-specific chronic low back pain within the age range of 30-50 years. They were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. Oswestry Disability Index and Biodex stability system were used to assess disability and dynamic balance indices (overall, anterior-posterior, medial-lateral indices, and limit of stability), respectively. Core stability exercise sessions were held for the experimental group three times per week for 6 weeks and the control group received no intervention. Data were analyzed by using mixed analysis of variance repeated measure at a significance level of P ≤ 0.05. Results: The results showed that core stability exercises led to a significant increase in the limit of stability and a significant decrease in disability and overall, anterior-posterior, and medial-lateral dynamic postural stability indexes (P≤0.05). Moreover, significant differences were observed between the two groups regarding all outcome measures after the intervention. Besides, there was a significant difference between pre-test and follow-up stages in terms of outcome measures (P≤0.05). Conclusion: According to findings, the core stability exercises resulted in considerable improvements in disability and balance in women with nonspecific chronic low back pain.

Background and Objective: Anxiety is an important aspect of neuroticism and may be related to potential mechanisms such as resilience. This study aimed to predict generalized anxiety in neurotic people based on resilience. Materials and Methods: This was a correlational forecasting study. The study population consisted of students of Arak University, Arak, Iran, in 2019, from whom a sample of 300 individuals was selected using the convenience sampling method. The study tools for data collection included the Neuroticism scale of NEO Five-Factor Inventory, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7, and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Eventually, 70 participants who obtained high scores on the Neuroticism Scale (score 24 and over) were studied. Results: Simultaneous multiple regression analysis showed that resilience components predicted about 31% of the variance of generalized anxiety in neurotic people (F=5.846, P< 0.001). It was revealed that the components of notion of personal competence, high standards, and tenacity (with a Beta coefficient of -0.446), and positive acceptance of change and secure relationships (with a Beta coefficient of -0.439) had a negative and significant role in this prediction. However, other components did not have a significant role in this regard. Conclusion: Based on the obtained results, resilience in accordance with the components of notion of personal competence and positive acceptance of change is an important variable for the prediction of generalized anxiety in neurotic people that should be seriously considered and strengthened to

Background and Objective: Cosmetic facial surgery and soft tissue are among the main reasons for orthodontic treatment and referral to dentistry. This study aimed to conduct a cephalometric evaluation of facial soft tissue thickness in patients candidates for orthodontic treatment in terms of age and gender referring to School of Dentistry, Hamadan, Iran. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study investigated the cephalometric radiography of 200 patients (100 males and 100 females) with skeletal class I (ANB 1-4) and vertical growth patterns. The patients were then divided into four age groups of 10-15, 15-20, 20-25, and 25-30 years with an equal number of males and females. Following that, the soft tissues in the glabella frontal, nose, subnasal, upper lip, lower lip, and chin were measured. The data were analyzed in SPSS software (version 21) through the t-test and ANOVA. Results: In general, the soft tissue thickness of the nose increased with age. Regarding gender (regardless of age), the males had thicker upper and lower lips, as well as subnasal, compared to females. Considering the simultaneous assessment of age and gender, the males had thicker soft tissue in the lower and upper lips, as well as subnasal areas. Conclusion: With an increase in age, only the soft tissue of the nose increased significantly. Moreover, in the same age groups, the males had thicker lower and upper lips.

Background and Objective: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic and progressive disease of the central nervous system that severely affects the individuals' physical health and psychological well-being. This study aimed to investigate the effect of acceptance-commitment therapy on the resilience and psychological well-being of women with MS in Hamadan Province, Iran. Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted based on a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population consisted of women with MS in Hamadan, Iran. In total, 40 women were randomly selected and randomly divided into two groups of intervention and control (20 cases per group). The intervention group participated in eight 90-min sessions of virtual acceptance-commitment group therapy (one session per week). On the other hand, the control group received no intervention. The resilience and psychological well-being of the both groups were measured before and after the intervention using ConnorDavidson Resilience Scale and Ryff Scale of Psychological Well-Being, followed by analysis of covariance. Regression analysis and Pearson correlation coefficient were used after ensuring that the statistical assumptions were met. Results: The mean values of resilience in the intervention and control groups at pretest were obtained at 43.33±3.16 and 43.80±3.53 (P>0.05), and the corresponding values were determined at 53.13±2.85 and 43.47±4.05 (P<0.05) at the posttest, respectively. Furthermore, the mean values of the psychological well-being in the intervention and control groups at pretest were calculated at 119.38±7.59 and 94.07±7.36 (P>0.05), and the corresponding values were 163.67±10.96 and 94.97±9.63 (P<0.05) at the posttest, respectively. This indicated a significant difference between the intervention and control groups. Conclusion: The results showed that the acceptance-commitment therapy increased the resilience and psychological well-being of the patients with MS.
