Also, nursing students spend internships in ICUs and receive special training in practice in the actual center. Educational tools based on new technologies can potentially improve the educational outcomes of nursing in ICUs. Objectives The present study aims to review and evaluate the effect of using technology-based educational tools for training critical care nurses and nursing students. Methods A comprehensive search was conducted to identify peer-reviewed English language articles in Embase, Medline (through PubMed), Scopus, and ISI web of science published from 2010 to Feb 18, 2022. The studies that examined the effectiveness of technology-based educational interventions with control groups were included. The risk of bias in e...

Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) have been proven to be at higher risk of COVID-19-related complications, hospitalization, and death. Objectives: The aim was to conduct a scientometric analysis of scholarly outputs on diabetes and COVID-19. Methods: Web of Science was searched for scientific publications on diabetes and COVID-19 by Middle Eastern researchers until September 14, 2021. Collected data were analyzed for document type, subject area, countries, top journals, citation number, and authors’ collaboration network using VOS viewer 1.6.15 and bibliometrix R-package 4.1.1. Results: Overall, the characteristics of 603 documents on DM and COVID-19 were analyzed. The top three productive countries in the field were Iran, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia. The top affiliation was from Iran; “Tehran University of Medical Sciences” (n = 168), followed...

Various therapeutical approaches are currently used to manage or control symptoms associated with PCOS. This systematic review intended to assess the effects of Vit E supplementation on cardiometabolic risk factors, inflammatory and oxidative markers, and hormonal functions in PCOS women based on the clinical trial's results. The databases including PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Embase were used to find all relevant studies. The authors reviewed all relevant clinical trials via systematic evaluation of abstracts and titles. Searches were conducted on August 1, 2020. After the initial search and reading of the article's title and abstract, 353 articles were reviewed; finally, 12 articles met the inclusion criteria. Vitamin E supplementation improves lipid profile, decreases insulin and HOMA-IR levels. Furthermore, while Vitamin E supplementation decreases LH and testoster...

They often need support and follow-up after discharge. The use of educational approaches or solutions before or after heart surgery can increase patients' knowledge on the post-operative complications and self-care. The main purpose of this systematic review is to determine the applications of educational approaches and investigate the effects of these approaches on patients with heart surgery. Method and materiel A thorough search was conducted in Medline (through PubMed), Scopus, ISI web of science to select related articles published between 2011 and May 2022. All of the retrieved papers were screened according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist. Results A total of 29 articles were obtained from the search, which included in this systematic review after being assessed based on inclusion and exc...

Aim: This study aimed at analyzing and visualizing the top 1000 highly cited papers on COVID-19. Methods: As a bibliometric study, this study was conducted by retrieving 1000 highly-cited papers on COVID-19 published during 2019-2021 from Scopus. The search strategy was to obtain 35 related keywords/terms on the COVID-19 as the main term from MeSH and searching them in the fields of paper titles, abstracts, and keywords. Bibliometric techniques such as co-citation analysis, co-authorship analysis and word co-occurrence analysis were used for the study. Data visualization was done by applying the VOSviewer software package and GunnMap. Results: China, the United States of America (USA), and the United Kingdom (UK) with publishing 418, 353, and 149, mostly cited papers were ranked first-to-third, respectively. The top contribu...

In this study, students’ knowledge and use of information resources as well as the students’ skills in evaluating the usefulness of retrieved resources were evaluated. The results of this study might be effective in the improvement of curriculum of universities and lead to the development of researches in educational centers. The research method is of the survey and descriptive-analytical type. The data were collected using questionnaires. Research findings show that the mean opinion of the study population about the knowledge of the printed and electronic information resources and about using those resources are 38.3 and 16.3, respectively. Results of the examination of students’ skills in the evaluation of retrieved resources also indicate that only 9.12% of the study population has a high or very high level of skills in this area. According to the results, the hypothesis 1 (there is a significant...

Accordingly, metabolomics as a promising field of "OMICS" is presented for investigating different molecular pathways in obesity and related disorders through the evaluation of specific metabolites in both animal and human subjects. Herein, the aim of the present study as the first systematic review is to evaluate all available studies about different mechanisms and their biomarkers discovery using metabolomics approaches. Method The study was designed according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Using a comprehensive search strategy we searched in databases including; Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus using specific keywords. Based on predefined inclusion/exclusion criteria study selection has been conducted considering the type of studies, participant, and outcome measures. Quality assessment was done using CASP (Critical Appraisal Skills Programme) checklist followed by data extraction according to a predefined data extraction sheet. Results Among the articles that resulted from electronic search, a total of 74 articles met our inclusion criteria. The most prevalent studied metabolites were amino acids and lipid derivatives and both targeted and non-targeted approaches were applied for metabolomics studies. Conclusion This systematic review summarized a wide range of studies regardless of the age, history, language, and type of the study. Further studies are needed to compare the application of emerging methods in the treatment of obesity and related disorders.
