- چکیده انگلیسی: Introdution: Some health instructions and proceedings were widely broadcasted and advised by scientific centers and social media concerning COVID-19 prevention, in the early days of the epidemic. Almost all of them had been sourced from narrative statements or non-evidence based sciences. Herein, we intended to deeply investigate the usefulness and efficiency of such recommendation on COVID-19 prevention.
Materials and Methods: Ninety-seven RT-PCR confirmed positive COVID-19 as case, 103 suffering from other diseases as control group were enrolled. To collect the data, an expert validated questionnaire encompassed demographic information, past medical history and pre-infection preventive proceedings (consumption of vitamin D3, C, and Zinc supplement, wearing face masks and gloves, hand washing, keeping at least 1.5 meters distance with other people, and staying at home) was used. The data between two groups were analyzed using SPSS software version 16.
Results: No significant difference was obtained in Zinc consumption between case and control groups (14 (14.4%) vs 16 (15.5%), OR=0.88, CI= 0.66-1.31). Interestingly, D3 and C vitamins consumption were significantly higher in patients suffering from COVID-19 compared to non-COVID-19 patients, [(60 (61.9%) vs 47 (45.6%), OR=1.28, CI=1.12-1.48) for vitamin D3 and (54 (52.4%) vs 47 (48.4%), OR=1.15, CI=1.01=1.31)]. Hand and face hygiene was significantly more observed in non-COVID-19 patients group (77 (79.3%) vs 96 (93.2%), OR=0.82, CI=0.71-0.93). Home quarantine and keeping social distance were also significantly higher in non-COVID-19 patients group.
Conclusions: General protective proceedings have significant protective roles against COVID-19.- انتشار مقاله: 21-04-1399

- چکیده انگلیسی: Introduction: Currently breast (BC) cancer is a serious medical problem in all countries of the world. Survival
depends on many factors. The present study focused on 5-year survival and its related factors in patients with BC in
Iran. Material and methods. The present analytical retrospective study was performed (from March 2010 until March
2015) on patients with BC followed for at least 6 months. The main variables assessed were tumor size, grade of lymph
node involvement, metastasis, stage, history, human epidermal growth factor receptor expression, and tumor origin.
Analysis of survival was accomplished using the Kaplan- Meier method. Results: Some 351 (80.2%) of the total of
438 individuals had unilateral and 87(19.8%) had bilateral cancer, 28 (35.6%) of the latter being synchronous and
56(64.4%) metachronous. Mean duration of follow-up was 47.44±28.19 months, during which 61 (17.3%) patients
with unilateral and 18 with bilateral cancer eventually died. The 5-year survival rate in patients with unilateral BC was
significantly higher than those with bilateral BC (Log-rank Test chi2= 3.11, p=0.032). In addition, with metachronous
cases, the survival rate was 64.2% in comparison with 51.6% for synchronous BCs. Survival rate was significantly
(p value =0.038) higher with metachronous than with synchronous cancers (Log-rank Test chi2=3.54, p=0.038). The
highest survival rate was reported for BCs originating from lobule tissue and the lowest rate examples of interstitial
tissue origin (Log-rank Test chi2=11.54, p=0.0001). Patients with earl stage lesions (M1) survived longer than with
other stages (Log-rank Test chi2= 9.55, p=0.001). Conclusion: In this study, most women with BC had a positive
family history and were married. The 5-year survival rate was lower with advanced stages of cancer. According to our
findings, survival rates might improve if patients undergo screening and diagnosis is made at an early stage of the disease.- انتشار مقاله: 22-12-1396
