Knowing the current situation of the IPV prevalence against women and high-risk areas in the Zanjan city, Iran, can help policymakers to establish better health programs for risk reduction. Methods: This population-based cross-sectional study consisted of married women aged 18-55 years living in Zanjan city in 2021. 760 married women covered by 19 urban comprehensive health service centers (UCHSCs) were selected by the stratified systematic random sampling method. The prevalence of IPV against women was measured in four types: psychological, physical, sexual, and economic. Results: Mean (SD) age of the women was 35.49 (8.76) years. 606 women (79.7%) experienced one type of IPV. The highest and lowest IPV prevalence against women were psychological (76.6%) and economic (12%), respectively. The highest and lowest prevalence of psychological violence were observed in CUHSCs 2 and 17, physical violence in CUHSCs 1 and 14, sexual violence in CUHSCs 2 and 17, and economic violence in CUHSCs 2 and 8, respectively. The severity of violence was higher among self-employment or workers husbands, with low monthly household income, and among younger women. Discussion: The IPV rate in the target population is high, and the highest rate is related to psychological violence. These results highlight the need to intervention in the society and high-risk women for policymakers of the health system.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate self-care ability in the elderly and related factors. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, elderly people admitted to educational and medical hospitals in Zanjan in 2021 were selected by convenience sampling and 175 people over 60 years old evaluated with questionnaire including demographic information and self-care ability scale for elderly. Mean (standard deviation), frequency (percentage) and independent sample t-test were used to analyze data in SPSS 23. Results: The mean (SD) score of elderly self-care in this study was 53.86 (1.41). The results showed that self-care ability is low in most participants (68%). Women have significantly higher self-care ability than men (P=0.018). With increased age, Self-care ability decreased (P=0.0001). In illiterate and lower educated people, self-care ability is significantly lower (P=0.0001), and also rural residents have significantly less self-care ability than urban residents (P=0.0001). Elderly people who were married (P=0.0001) and had a source of income (P=0.0001) had a better level of self-care. Conclusion: Self-care ability is low in most elderly people, and self-care ability is worse in men, illiterate people, and villagers and self-care ability decreases with increasing age. It is suggested that simple programs be developed according to the age and level of literacy of the elderly.

This study aims to evaluate the effect of adding ketamine to lower dose of lidocaine on reducing the dose and side effects of lidocaine. Materials and Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 60 patients undergoing the surgery of upper limb below the elbow under IVRA were randomly divided into two groups. In group 1 (control group), 40 ml lidocaine 0.5% (200 mg) and in group 2 (intervention group), 40 ml lidocaine 0.25% (100 mg) plus 40 mg of ketamine 0.1% injected intravenously. Outcomes included postoperative pain at 15, 30 and 60 minutes after surgery. The pain of the patients was assessed by using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS Score). Results: Both groups were comparable in demographic and surgical parameters. The average pain based on the VAS score at 15, 30 and 60 minutes after surgery was similar in both groups and there was no significant difference between the two groups (p> 0.05). Moreover, postoperative complications including unconsciousness, restlessness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, tinnitus, seizure, delirium and hallucination had no significant differences (p> 0.05). Conclusion: Results of this study showed that the addition of ketamine to lower dose of lidocaine in patients receiving IVRA significantly reduced postoperative pain, and reduces the likelihood of systemic toxicity with lidocaine without causing significant adverse effects.

Edutainment is a kind of tool that, in this age of technology, can be easily incorporated into education. Objectives: This study aimed to use edutainment for teaching orthodontic lateral cephalometric and dental cast analysis as well as to evaluate the dental students’ attitudes towards it. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the multimedia-enhanced with edutainment was designed using Articulate Storyline version 3.5. To evaluate the students’ attitudes, 52 ninth-semester dental students doing their second semester in 2019 - 2020 were included in the study. Then they were asked to complete a standard questionnaire with a 7-point Likert scale from strongly disagree to strongly agree and including 26 items in eight domains of perceived self-efficacy, perceived satisfaction, understanding usefulness, behavioral concept, e-learning system quality, interactiv...

Tumour incidence in most world regions is rising. Here, we intend to highlight these trends in the world.MethodsWe used the global burden of disease dataset to assess the incidence and mortality of melanoma from 1995 to 2019 in 204 countries/territories. To identify country/territory groups with similar trends of melanoma incidence and mortality, a model‐based clustering with a mixture of multivariate t‐distributions was used.ResultsAustralia and New Zealand had the largest incidence and mortality rates. Men in Egypt and women in Sri Lanka and Guam had the lowest incidence and mortality rates. The clustering analysis revealed 4 classes of incidence in both gender and 3 and 2 classes of mortality in male and female, respectively. All groups had a growing incidence rate in both gender, similar to the worldwide trend. In 10% of the countries/territories, central and Western Europe, the inci...

Nutrition Literacy (NL) is an essential component to enhancing nutrition quality, as well as health and well-being. The study's objective was to determine health literacy (HL) and NL among mothers with children preschool children (under 7 years old in Zanjan city, Iran). Participants in this cross-sectional were 162 mothers with preschool children referred to Ayatollah Mousavi Hospital's pediatric clinic in Zanjan, Iran, during July and August 2022. The sample technique was convenient. In IBM SPSS 20 software, a two-step cluster analysis, the Chi-square\ Fisher exact, and Man-Whitney tests were used. HL and NL had a mean ± SD of 71.26 ± 15.84 and 71.78 ± 11.86, respectively. The two-step cluster analysis identified two clusters, with mothers in cluster 1 (n = 141) having sufficient HL and NL and mothers in cluster 2 (n = 21) having insufficient HL and NL. Cluster 1 mothers were older, had a college degree, lived in a city, were employed, and had a better financial situation. They obtained health and nutrition information from the Internet, either alone or in conjunction with other sources. Based on clustering analysis, it was observed that the low level of education, living in the village and being a housewife of the mothers, is related to the low level of HL and NL. By increasing the level of education of mothers, it is possible to help protect children from malnutrition or overfeeding in the future. Also, providing suitable job opportunities for mothers can help in this matter.

Knowing its incidence and mortality rates can help in designing and implementing preventive interventions in different regions of the country. In this study, the incidence and mortality pattern of IHD during the years 1990-2019 was investigated in the provinces of Iran. Materials and methods: In the current ecology study (ethics code IR.ZUMS.REC.1402.216), agestandardized incidence and mortality rate (per 100,000 population) of ischemic heart disease for 31 provinces of Iran from the Global
