Writing Capitalism into Iranian History

Capitalism used to be a singular term, but, like many keywords in English, now is often presented and discussed as a plural: capitalisms. Whereas capitalism formerly stood for what today is called industrial capitalism, scholars currently talk about varieties of capitalism: commercial capitalism, industrial capitalism, financial capitalism, and neoliberal capitalism, to name but the most prominent historical variants. Given this proliferation, and the inherent difficulty of defining capitalism, singular, it is important to be clear about the meaning and function of our object of inquiry. After all, “different definitions lead to different conclusions and may make for very different histories.”

Ethical issues of do not resuscitate in cancer patients: A narrative review from a nursing perspective

This narrative review aims to examine the ethical issues of do not resuscitate order (DNR) in cancer patients from a nursing perspective. Keywords were obtained based on Medical Subject Headings with titles related to the topic of the article. The data was obtained by searching English keywords (cardiopulmonary resuscitation, cancer, dilemma, oncology) in the title and abstract of the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases without time limits to access published foreign studies. Also, to access published Persian studies, Iranian websites, including Scientific Information Database, Magiran, and Iranmedex scientific databases, were searched with equivalent Persian keywords. Also, based on the determined keywords, a free search was also conducted in the Google Scholar search engine. The study on the implementation of DNR orders by healthcare providers has been of interest to medical staff, patients, and their families in the past. The issue of choosing between life and death to reduce pain and suffering and the lack of facilities to treat patients in the last stages of the disease is one of the main reasons for making a DNR order, especially in cancer patients who are going through the last stages of their lives. In various studies, various aspects of the treatment staff's and patients' attitudes were examined, but the most attention is paid to factors such as the doctor's moral competence, the patient's independence, the quality of life, and adopting the right time for this order. In these studies, it has been shown that the DNR order is widely used in patients with advanced cancers. Therefore, managers and policymakers in the health field should provide a platform for training the medical care team, especially nurses, in the field of various aspects of the ethical competence of DNR and interaction with these patients and their families.

Cardiopulmonary-Cerebral Resuscitation (CPCR) Training for Nurses in Iran: A Review Study

Context: This study aimed to provide an overview of cardiopulmonary-cerebral resuscitation (CPCR) training methods for nurses in Iran and introduce some innovations in using training methods to improve nurses’ knowledge and skills in clinical settings. Cardiac arrest is one of the most common causes of death worldwide. Evidence shows that despite the support for improving and treating cardiac arrest in recent years, the overall survival rate after it is still low. Thus, an awareness of the latest CPCR methods is vital for nursing staff. To this end, nurses’ knowledge and skills can be promoted using effective training interventions and techniques. Evidence Acquisition: In this review study, the English keywords; education, training, cardiopulmonary-cerebral resuscitation, nurses, knowledge, skill, and performance, and their equivalent Persian terms were searched in articles published from 2010 to 2020 in Iranian and international databases including Google Scholar, SID, IranMedex, Magiran, PubMed, Ensani.ir, and CINAHL. A total of 21 articles were identified. After removing duplicate articles and the studies conducted in Iran, ten articles were selected for the final review. Results: In recent years, different conventional and modern training techniques have been used to teach cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to nurses in Iran to improve one or two areas of learning (knowledge and performance). The combined use of these training methods can enhance nurses’ knowledge, skills, and satisfaction with CPR training. Conclusions: There are many conventional and modern methods for teaching clinical skills. Thus, the most effective methods should be used to teach CPCR to nurses. To this end, educational officials and managers should use integrated training methods to improve nurses’ CPCR skills.

Analysis of the most common stressful factors for emergency care nurses

The work of emergency nurses involves long working hours, providing assistance in the event of life-threatening conditions, accidents, trauma patients, and anxious family members of patients. These are all stressful factors at work. Intensive and stressful work can have an impact on their physical and emotional health over time. The aim of the study is to select and analyse scientific articles on key stressors in the work of emergency care nurses. The research method is a literature review. The search for scientific publications was carried out using the PubMed search engine in the electronic database. Used keywords in English: stress at work, emergency nurses, the causes of stress. violence, bullying. The selected 31 articles are written in English. The results showed that emergency care workers face a range of situations every day, some of which can be life-threatening and require emergency care and intensive care. This dynamic environment, which also affects factors such as violence and bullying, stressful situations and high workload, puts emergency care workers under severe stress at work.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of the effect of phytogenic feed additives on pig performance

The present study aimed to evaluate the use of dietary phytogenic additives (DPA) for pigs (nursery, growing, and finishing phases) through a systematic review combined with a meta-analysis. Studies were searched using keywords in English in the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science reference search engines. A database containing all relevant information available in the studies was then developed. The selected studies compared the performance parameters of pigs fed control diets with or without antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) with those fed diets containing phytogenic additives. The meta-analysis was carried out following three sequential analyses: graphic, correlation, and variance-covariance. The database included 104 studies. A wide variety of compounds was evaluated in the selected studies, as most of them tested product blends. The most frequently phytogenic additives tested individually were oregano and garlic. However, neither influenced the analyzed performance parameters compared with the control treatments (with or without AGP). Phytogenic additives linearly reduced (P<0.01) weight gain and feed efficiency when lysine intake was higher than the requirements, i.e., their effects were more significant when the experimental diets were deficient in lysine. Other methodological limitations are listed, particularly the absence of essential details about the methodology and treatments in the experimental design, and few studies included health challenges. In summary, further studies in this field are needed; however, future trials should test the synergistic effects of phytogenic additives (experimental designs including individual and combined compounds), as well as their dose-response in pig performance.

Early Mortality After Emergency Transarterial Embolization/Chemoembolization for Spontaneous Rupture of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Context: Transarterial embolization/chemoembolization (TAE/TACE) has been shown to be effective against ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the early clinical mortality remains unpredictable. Objectives: To conduct a comprehensive quantitative evaluation of early mortality after emergency TAE/TACE for spontaneous HCC rupture and to perform an overall analysis of risk factors to gather more representative data. Methods: The PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, and Embase databases were searched, and relevant studies were retrieved using the corresponding English keywords. Next, the literature was screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Finally, Stata version 15.1 and R Project 4.1.2 were used for meta-analysis. Results: A total of 24 studies (n = 1,083) were included in this meta-analysis. The combined 30-day mortality following emergency TAE/TACE for spontaneous HCC rupture was 28.8% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 23.4 - 34.4%). After correcting for publication bias, the combined 30-day mortality rate was estimated at 28.1% (95% CI: 22.7 - 33.6%). The results of subgroup and regression analyses also revealed that preoperative liver cirrhosis and bilobar tumor distribution were significantly associated with increased 30-day mortality following TAE/TACE (P &lt; 0.05 for all). After re-stratification of studies by publication time, it was found that the 30-day mortality after TAE/TACE treatment for spontaneous HCC rupture has decreased significantly in the past two years (P = 0.0074); the corresponding value was 19.1% (95% CI: 14.3 - 24.3%) during 2020 - 2021 and 31.6% (95% CI: 26.4 - 36.9%) during 2001 - 2010. Three independent factors, including liver cirrhosis, bilobar tumor distribution, and period of time, may be potential factors for heterogeneity. Conclusion: In recent years, although early mortality has significantly reduced after emergency TAE/TACE for spontaneous HCC rupture, it is still not negligible. Before TAE/TACE, it is necessary for clinicians to predict the adverse outcomes, as well as the risk factors and disease-related factors, and to formulate appropriate intervention measures.

THE IMPACT OF ADOLESCENT UNINTENDED PREGNANCY ON PREGNANCY CARE: LITERATURE STUDY

Pregnancy in adolescents causes psychological impacts such as shame, fear, depression and even the desire to commit suicide. This condition has an impact on the treatment of pregnancy. The aim of this review literature is to determine unwanted pregnancy versus pregnancy in adolescents. The used method is narrative review using a systematic review of Preferred Reporting Items for Sytematic Review (PRISMA). The data base that used in this literature is Google Scholar and Pubmed. Literature search based on qualitative study design criteria, national and international articles, year published the last 10 years (2010-2020) in Indonesian and English by using Indonesian keywords namely unwanted pregnancy, adolescents, school children and pregnancy care. While English keywords are Adolescent Pregnancy OR Adolescence pregnancies OR Adolescenct pregnancy OR Adolescenct pregnancies OR Teen pregnancy OR Teen pregnancies OR Unwanted Pregnancy OR Unwanted Pregnancies OR Unintended Pregnant OR Unintented Pregnancy OR Unplanned Pregnancy OR Pregnancy Care OR Pregnancies Care OR Antenatal Care. Research articles rated critical appraisal cheklis from JBI. From the 6 articles reviewed, it was found that there were 10 impacts of unwanted pregnancy (KTD) on pregnancy care in adolescemts, including: adolescents are not doing Antenatal Care (ANC) during pregnancy, teenagers tend to make efforts to abort the womb, do not consume healthy foods with balance nutrition, do not consume blood-increasing tablets, do not do physical activity and exercise, sleep rest is lacking, adolescents tend to ignore personal hygiene, teenagers do not stimulate in the fetus, defensive and depression. Further research can be carried out regarding the needs of adolescents with unwanted physical and psychological support and care during pregnancy.

Knowledge graph analysis of pyroptosis research in traditional Chinese medicine based on VOSviewer and CiteSpace

To explore the research hotspots and frontier directions of pyroptosis in the field of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), the authors searched CNKI and Web of Science for literature related to pyroptosis in TCM, screened literature according to the search strategy and inclusion criteria, and analyzed the publication trend of the included literature. VOSviewer was used to draw author cooperation and keyword co-occurrence network diagrams, and CiteSpace was employed for keyword clustering, emergence, and timeline view. Finally, 507 Chinese literature and 464 English literature were included, and it was found that the number of Chinese and English literature was increasing rapidly year by year. The co-occurrence of the authors showed that in terms of Chinese literature, there was a representative research team composed of DU Guan-hua, WANG Shou-bao and FANG Lian-hua, and for English literature, the representative research team was composed of XIAO Xiao-he, BAI Zhao-fang and XU Guang. The network visualization of Chinese and English keywords revealed that inflammation, apoptosis, oxidative stress, autophagy, organ damage, fibrosis, atherosclerosis, and ischemia-reperfusion injury were the primary research diseases and pathological processes in TCM; berberine, resveratrol, puerarin, na-ringenin, astragaloside Ⅳ, and baicalin were the representative active ingredients; NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD, TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3, and p38/MAPK signaling pathways were the main research pathways. Keyword clustering, emergence, and timeline analysis indicated that the pyroptosis research in TCM focused on the mechanism of TCM monomers and compounds intervening in diseases and pathological processes. Pyroptosis is a research hotspot in the area of TCM, and the current discussion mainly focuses on the mechanism of the therapeutic effect of TCM.

The Framework of Designing, Reporting, and Evaluating the Methodological Quality for Psychometric Studies: The Revised COSMIN Checklists

Background and Objectives: One of the challenges in studies related to measuring patient-reported outcomes (PRO) is the selection of an appropriate measurement tool. In this regard, compliance with standards in design and reporting of psychometric studies is necessity. In addition, researchers should be able to correctly evaluate the methodological quality of psychometric studies. Considering the presentation of the revised forms for the consensus-based standards for the selection of health Measurement instruments (COSMIN) checklist, this study aims to review these checklists. Methods: In this narrative review study, a search was conducted in national and international databases for articles measured the quality of psychometric studies by COSMIN checklist using related keywords in Persian and English with no time limitations. The results are presented in two sections, including the history of COSMIN checklist and the introduction of its revised forms. Results: There are four COSMIN checklists, including the COSMIN Risk of Bias Checklist, the COSMIN Risk of Bias Tool (by focusing on reliability and measurement error), the COSMIN Study Design Checklist, and the COSMIN Reporting Guideline. Conclusion: Considering the increasing number of psychometric studies on the PRO measurement tools, the COSMIN checklists can provide comprehensive indicators for designing, reporting, and evaluating these studies.

Pharmacological effects of Safranal: An updated review.

Safranal (a monoterpene aldehyde) is the major volatile component of saffron which is responsible for the saffron unique odor. Several studies have shown the pharmacological activities of safranal including anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective, neuroprotective, nephroprotective, gastrointestinal protective, etc. This study was designed to review the pharmacological and medical effects of safranal and up-to-date previous knowledge. Moreover, some patents related to the pharmacological effects of safranal were gathered. Therefore, electronic databases including Web of Sciences, Scopus, and Pubmed for pharmacological effects and US patent, Patentscope, and Google Patent for patents were comprehensively searched by related English keywords from 2010 to June 2022. According to our review, most of the studies are related to the safranal effects on CNS such as antianxiety, analgesic, anticonvulsant, antiischemic, anti-tremor, memory enhancement and its protective effects on neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson and Huntington diseases. Other effects of safranal are antiasthmatic, antihypertensive, antiaging, anticataract, etc. Moreover, the protective effects of this agent on metabolic syndrome and diabetic nephropathy have been shown. Different mechanisms including anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, muscle relaxation, antiapoptotic, and regulatory effects on the genes and proteins expression related to signaling pathways of oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, proliferation, etc. are involved in safranal pharmacological effects. Some patents for the prevention and/or treatment of different diseases such as liver cancer, sleep disorder, depression, cognitive disorder, obesity and PMS were also included. Based on the documents, safranal is considered a promising therapeutic agent although more clinical studies are needed to verify the beneficial effects of safranal in humans.

Maternal-infant outcomes of birth planning: A review study.

The birth and delivery plan is the center of clinical communication between the pregnant woman and the midwife, which is in the scope of health care services and is designed and provided to specialists with the participation of the woman and her husband during pregnancy. This document reflects the preferences, expectations, and fears of pregnant women regarding the birth process. This study was conducted with the aim of determining the maternal and neonatal outcomes of the birth plan: a review study. In this review study, Persian databases Magiran, SID, and English databases Pubmed, Scopus, SID Elsevier, Web of Sciences, and Google Scholar search engine using English keywords including Maternal outcome, neonatal outcome, birth schedule, delivery plan, birth plan, and their Persian equivalents were searched from 2000 to 2022. Numerous studies were selected and analyzed in a quantitative and qualitative manner that was related to the purpose of the present study in terms of content. Among 948 articles, 13 of the most relevant ones were selected and analyzed for this study. The results of the review of the studies showed that the birth plan has an effect on women's empowerment, satisfaction with childbirth, positive experience of childbirth, cesarean section rate, epidural use rate, episiotomy rate, Apgar, and umbilical cord pH of the newborn. The maternal and neonatal consequences of the birth plan prevail over its negative consequences, and the use of the birth plan can increase women's empowerment, satisfaction with childbirth, positive experience of childbirth, and reduce the rate of cesarean section and negative maternal-neonatal consequences.

Physical punishment and child, adolescent, and adult outcomes in low- and middle-income countries: protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis

BackgroundPhysical punishment at home and in schools is widespread around the world. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses have synthesized evidence, mostly from high-income countries (HICs), showing that physical punishment relates to multiple detrimental individual outcomes. Yet, less work has been done to synthesize the evidence on the association between physical punishment at home and schools and child, adolescent, and adult outcomes in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where more than 90% of children live and physical punishment is most socially normative and prevalent. In this manuscript, we present a protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis on the characteristics of the research, associations, and variation in associations, between physical punishment at home and in schools and child, adolescent, and adult outcomes in LMICs.MethodsWe will conduct a review of studies published in peer-reviewed journals using quantitative methods to assess the association between physical punishment in childhood and/or adolescence and individual outcomes in LMICs. We will search for studies in 10 different databases using keywords in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, and Chinese related to physical punishment. We will extract qualitative data from the studies and the statistics needed to transform all study-level effect sizes into standardized mean difference effect sizes. For the analyses, we will employ multi-level meta-analyses to use multiple effect sizes per study and leverage within-study variation as well as between study variation using moderation analysis. Besides the meta-analyses, we will also conduct a narrative synthesis of the findings.DiscussionThe proposed systematic review and meta-analysis will provide timely evidence to inform global research, policy, and practice on the links between physical punishment and lifelong individual outcomes.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO CRD42022347346

The Determinant Factors in Managing Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever During the Covid-19 Pandemic: A Literature Review

During the COVID-19 Pandemic, differentiating tropical infectious diseases and COVID-19 can be challenging due to overlapping clinical presentations. Fever and nonspecific symptoms in early COVID-19 may be challenging to distinguish from dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and malaria because respiratory signs may be absent or manifest later in the disease course. This literature review analyzes the determinant factors in managing DHF during the COVID-19 Pandemic. This paper was a systematic literature review of national and international journals in the Google Scholar and PubMed databases from 2019 to 2022. We used the PICOS framework to find articles. The Indonesian and English keywords were the speed of health service, dengue hemorrhagic fever, and COVID-19. There were two included studies in this systematic review. The results showed that during the Covid-19 Pandemic and the dengue epidemic, a triage strategy was crucial to detect Covid-19 that could potentially be misdiagnosed as DHF. In addition, the first delay in seeking care treatment for dengue infection was due to financial constraints and previous dengue infection. Moreover, the second delay was because of the availability of transportation, traffic density, and residency location. Furthermore, the third delay was because of the hospital's capacity. Thus, the determinant factors of managing Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever during the COVID-19 Pandemic were the similarity of the signs and symptoms of dengue fever with Covid-19, financial aspects, transportation factors, the hospital distance, and hospital capacity.

CAMELPOX: BRIEF SCIENTIFIC OVERVIEW

one of the most important issues in veterinary medicine and agriculture is the preservation and reproduction of livestock. During the Soviet Union era, camel breeding developed only in the western regions of Kazakhstan, and in the post-independence years it developed rapidly in the southern and south-eastern regions of the country. However, in recent years, the registration of camelpox has become a new problem in veterinary medicine, creating some obstacles to the development of camel breeding. This is evidenced by the outbreak of camelpox in the Mangistau region in 2019, which led to a decrease in livestock productivity and a decrease in livestock. In order to learn more about this infectious disease, which is considered the most dangerous for camels, the work of domestic and foreign scientists was conducted. The search was conducted using keywords in English and Russian from Internet resources. As a result of the research, 48 scientific works were analyzed, including 44 foreign articles published in English, 2 works in Russian, 2 research works of domestic scientists. This scientific review article provides a review of the scientific literature on the general description, distribution, epizootology, diagnosis and prevention of camelpox. The article summarizes and presents all the information on these sections in the form of an abstract in the state language.

Influence of dentofacial characteristics on the appearance of self-reported bullying: A review.

Bullying is a social problem that affects children and adolescents in particular. It deteriorates the selfesteem of its victims, decreases their quality of life and generates future psychological problems. The aim of this review was to determine the influence of dentofacial characteristics on the appearance of selfreported bullying through a literature review. A systematic search was carried out in the databases of international scientific literature on health sciences, including MEDLINE via PubMed, Scopus, LILACS, and SciELO. Up to October 10, 2020, a total of 348 articles were identified, but only 36 were ultimately selected for the review. Specific keywords in English were used in the search: "dentofacial features"; "soft tissue"; and "malocclusion". It was found that the appearance of bullying was associated with altered facial profiles, namely the presence of different classes of malocclusion, with class II or class III malocclusion being the most impactful. Altered dentofacial characteristics can make an individual the target of harassment, leading to low quality of life, emotional instability, low self-esteem, and the lack of confidence with regard to dentofacial appearance as well as poor long-term social and academic performance. There is a need to develop preventive measures that would be applied by both parents and authorities, with disseminating information on bullying in schools as well as on adequate oral hygiene and the importance of going to the dentist. Traditional and cybernetic bullying share similarities. While working out strategies against bullying, it is essential to raise awareness among victims and bullies, families, and society, and to determine how bullying is perceived by children and teenagers.

Clinicopathological and prognostic value of Ki-67 expression in oral malignant melanoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background. Ki-67 is one of the new biological markers with clinical value in the pathology and prognosis of oral melanoma. It is a nuclear protein involved in regulating cell proliferation. Some studies have suggested an association between Ki-67 and poor survival in patients with oral melanoma. This systematic review was undertaken to clarify this issue. Methods. Databases of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched using relevant English keywords from 1988 to April 2022. STATA software version 16 and random models were used for meta-analysis. Results. Eleven articles were included in this systematic review, six of which were selected for meta-analysis. The mean expression of the Ki-67 index in patients with oral melanoma was estimated at 43.81% (28.66‒58.95 with 95% CI, I2=94.2, P<0.001). In addition, the results showed a significant relationship between Ki-67 expression and the prognosis of oral melanoma lesions. Increased expression of this marker weakens the prognosis and decreases the survival rate. Conclusion. High expression of Ki-67 may serve as a predictive biomarker for poor prognosis in patients with malignant oral melanoma. Therefore, classifying this malignancy by Ki-67 expression may be considered for therapy regimen selection and integrated management.
