Introduction: Cultural intelligence is a modern domain of intelligence that addresses the possibility of mediation in diverse and variable work spaces. Cultural intelligence and mental health have a significant influence on interactions and mutual compatibilities in academic settings that are diverse in terms of cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds; and it leads to increased productivity and health service reinforcement, especially in medical science universities. This study aimed at investigating cultural intelligence and its relationship to mental health in the university student population.
Methods: The present cross-sectional study was carried out on 385 university students via random sampling method with the proportional allocation of the desired fields of study. The tools for data collection were Ang's Cultural Intelligence Questionnaire and the 28-item Mental Health Questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using ANOVA, independent t-test, Chi-square, and Pearson correlation coefficient in SPSS v.18.
Results: The mean and standard deviation of cultural intelligence were 95.2 ± 12.8. The lowest score (18.55 ± 2.9) and the highest score (29 ± 3.46) belonged to the meta-motivation and cognitive subscales, respectively. The mean and standard deviation of total mental health equaled 23.37 ± 7.34, where the mean and standard deviation of social performance subscale (6.08 ± 3.5) were higher than those of the other domains. There was a significant positive correlation between the students' cultural intelligence and mental health (P <0.05). In the same way, cultural intelligence and mental health held a significant relationship with some demographic characteristics (P <0.05).
Conclusion: Considering the significant positive correlation between cultural intelligence and mental health, the provision of specific education for the improvement of the both variables can be effective in increasing the vitality and social interactions on the one hand, and can lead to an increase in clinical productivity and to the improvement of the status of health care services on the other hand.

- چکیده انگلیسی: Background & aim: Emotional intelligence (EQ) is one of the factors influencing post-abortion grief and bereavement. This study aimed to determine the relationship between the level of EQ and post-abortion grief and bereavement in women referred to the hospitals affiliated to Mashhad University of Medical Sciences.
Methods: This correlational study was conducted on 60 women with spontaneous abortion admitted in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Imam Reza, Ghaem, and Omolbanin hospitals, Mashhad, Iran in 2016. The subjects were selected through convenience sampling and data were collected using a self-structured questionnaire, Bar-On model of socio-emotional intelligence, grief intensity scale, and perinatal Grief and Bereavement Scale. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, simple linear regression, and Pearson correlation coefficient in SPSS software version 11.5.
Results: The subjects’ mean age was 28.6±5.7 years old and 73.3% (n=44) of them were housewives. The mean scores of post-abortion grief, bereavement, and EQ were 126.5±26.7, 42.7±9.4, and 188.4±17.9, respectively. According to the results of linear regression analysis, the EQ adversely and significantly predicts the post-abortion grief (P=0.001, β=-43.22) and bereavement (P<0.001, β=-462/0). Given the results of Pearson correlation coefficient, there was an indirect and significant relationship between the EQ and post-abortion grief (P=0.001, r=-432) and bereavement (P<0.001, r=-0.462).
Conclusion: Considering the effect of EQ on post-abortion grief and bereavement, it is recommended to provide an educational program to promote the level of EQ in women.- انتشار مقاله: 06-08-1396

- چکیده انگلیسی: Objective: Foreign body swallowing is a common pediatric problem. A foreign body in the pharynx is a medical emergency that requires urgent intervention. Evaluation and treatment of pharyngeal foreign bodies is much more difficult in children than in adults and sometimes requires hospitalization and removal of the foreign bodies under general anesthesia due to children’s lack of cooperation. Fish and chicken bones are the most common swallowed foreign bodies, but an interesting case of a piece of dishwashing steel wool stuck in a child’s pharynx is reported in this article.
Case Presentation: A 10-year old boy was presented with a history of dysphagia from five weeks ago. Oral examination did not reveal anything significant. In lateral neck radiographs of the patient, a metal wire was observed in the hypopharyngeal region opposite the 4th and 5th cervical vertebrae. Endoscopic attempts to remove the foreign body were not successful. Therefore, the foreign body was removed from the patient’s pharynx in the operating room under general anesthesia. No complications were observed.
Conclusion: Despite the prevalence of swallowing foreign bodies in children, ingestion of a piece of dishwashing steel wool not diagnosed for three weeks was considered interesting to report. Pharyngeal foreign bodies are medical emergencies; therefore, it is particularly important to suspect the presence of a foreign body and perform diagnostic procedures.- انتشار مقاله: 24-11-1398

- کلمات کلیدی: endodontically treated teeth,Glass-ionomer,Sealing
- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Statement of the Problem: The most common cause of endodontic treatment failures is improper coronal sealing. Therefore, besides to proper root sealing, coronal sealing which is supported by a proper restoration has a major role in endodontic treatment success, and coronal microleakage should be considered as an etiologic factor in endodontic treatment failure. Glass-ionomer (GI) has been proposed as a coronal barrier for microleakage after endodontic treatment.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the coronal microleakage in GI-obturated root canals in endodontically treated teeth using different thicknesses of GI.
Materials and Method: In this invitro study, forty-five single-rooted extracted human teeth with single canals were collected and disinfected with 0.5% chloramine solution. After endodontic treatment, teeth were divided into 3 groups. In the group 1 to 3, 1 to 3 mm of gutta-percha was removed and GI was replaced at 1-, 2- and 3-mm thicknesses respectively. Then subgroups were placed in methylene blue dye and the microleakage was assessed using dye penetration.
Results: The mean dye penetration in groups 1, 2 and 3 were 5.1, 3.7 and 2.9, respectively, with statistically significant differences. Group 1 exhibited the highest amount of dye penetration while group 3 showed the least one. Moreover, a significant difference between groups 1 and 2 (p = 0.002) and a non-significant difference between groups 2 and 3 (p = 0.098) was detected in mean dye penetration.
Conclusion: Thicker layers of GI might decrease the coronal microleakage. GI at 3-mm thickness resulted in the best protective effect on coronal microleakage in endodontically treated teeth, though further studies are needed to confirm these results.- انتشار مقاله: 05-07-1397

- چکیده انگلیسی: Introduction: Due to the significant differences between the physiology and pathology of adults and neonates, clinical guidelines for adults are not directly applicable to children. This study was performed to evaluate the effects of high- and low- dose captopril on the neonates with large left-to-right shunts.
Methods: The study was conducted on 20 neonates with congenital heart disease, left-to-right shunt, and cardiac failure. Based on the Ross scoring system, the neonates were clinically evaluated by measuring renin, aldosterone, and B-type natriuretic peptide, and performing echocardiography.
For each neonate, the treatment of heart failure started with digoxin and frusemide, and reevaluation was conducted 3 days after the treatment. Afterwards, the neonates were randomly divided into 2 groups; low- (0.03mg/kg) and high-doses (0.5mg/kg) of captopril were administered, and the reevaluation was carried out, after one week of therapy.
Results: The study revealed higher reduction of the Ross score in the high-dose group; however, the change was not statistically significant (P=0.56). B-type natriuretic peptide and aldosterone reduced further in the high-dose group; again the changes were not statistically significant (P=0.4). Moreover, the treatment with captopril increased the pulmonary blood flow (QP), and pulmonary-to-systemic blood flow (QP/QS) in both groups; though the changes were not significant.
Conclusion: According to the present study, although high-dose captopril can decrease B-type natriuretic peptide and the neonates' clinical symptoms, the resultant changes are not statistically significant. Therefore, clinical decision making should follow a case-by-case basis for each neonate, in order to select the effective dose of captopril.- انتشار مقاله: 03-10-1392

- چکیده انگلیسی: Recently, with increasing public awareness of food safety, developments of some valid and rapidly analytical methods are required for the determination of residual pesticides in crops.This study was conducted on validation of a reliable, accurate and precise method for multi analysis of pesticides residue in melon as a main fruit in Iranian food basket. A reliable, and valid method based on spiked calibration curves and modified QuEChERS sample preparation was developed for determination of 12 pesticide residues in melon by Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). The interested pesticides are, diazinon, dimethoate, chlorothalonil, pirimicarb, chlorpyrifos-methyl, metalaxyl, α-endosulfan, ß -endosulfan, permethrin 1, 2 and fenvalerate 1, 2 that are belonged to different chemical groups of pesticides. Triphenylmethane (TPM) is used as internal standard. Use of spikedsamples for constructing the calibration curve substantially reduced adverse matrix-related effects. The recovery of pesticides at 3 concentration levels (n=3) was in range of 79.8-97.6%. The method was proved to be repeatable with RSD lower than 20%. The limits of quantification for all pesticides were The recoveries and repeatabilities were in accordance with the criteria set by SANCO Guideline (Commission of the European Communities, 2006). Using spiked samples for preparation of calibration curves is a sensitive, selective, rugged, rapid and accurate method in pesticides analysis.

- چکیده انگلیسی: Mixed in method, the present study investigated whether there was any significant difference between students and teachers’ perceptions of Iranian medical English for Academic Purposes (EAP) students’ language needs. In so doing, 220 EAP students of medicine, 30 subject-matter teachers of EAP and 20 teachers of English for General Purposes (EGP) teaching medical EAP completed a Likert-scale questionnaire. Fifty of the students and 20 of the teachers also attended a semi-structured interview. The results of both descriptive statistics and inferential statistics indicated that, overall, there was a significant mismatch between the students’ and the teachers’ perceptions of medical EAP students’ needs. However, both teachers and students perceived reading comprehension as the most important language skill. Moreover, the students, in general, were found not to be satisfied with the EAP program presented to them. The results might prove fruitful for curriculum designers, materials developers and teachers in (medical) EAP contexts to hear students’ voices, and to incorporate them in their programs, syllabi and teaching.

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Researchers and teaching practitioners have been trying to find more effective methods of teaching idioms due to the significance of these expressions in language learning contexts. The present study sought to investigate the effects of three verbal mnemonic tools (grouping, stories, and conceptual metaphor) on EFL learners’ recognition and recall of English idioms. Ninety EFL learners at intermediate language proficiency level who were preparing themselves to take IELTS participated in this study. They were in three groups of thirty members each. Each group was randomly assigned to one of the experimental conditions and was instructed idioms using one of the verbal mnemonic devices. The collected data were analyzed using the one-way ANOVA procedure. The results showed statistically significant differences among these devices, with ‘stories’ being the most effective on recognition and ‘conceptual metaphor’ being the most beneficial in the recall of idioms. The findings of the study can have potential theoretical implications for researchers and pedagogical implications for curriculum developers, language teachers, and learners.
