- چکیده انگلیسی: BACKGROUND AND AIM: Parents’ attitudes towards different aspects of dentistry especially the use of behavior management techniques (BMTs) can greatly effect a child’s cooperation in a dental office. The present quasi-experimental study was conducted with the aim to assess the effect of a verbal explanation on parents’ acceptance level of the most common BMTs used in pediatric dentistry.METHODS: A videotaped presentation showing the 6 most commonly used BMTs in Iran was presented to 60 parents recruited by a convenient sampling method. Using visual analogue scale (VAS), the acceptance level of each BMT was measured before and after an explanation on the reasons of each BMT. Paired t-test, repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) and independent t-test were used for statistical analysis of data. Significance level was set as 0.050.RESULTS: Giving a verbal explanation on BMTs had a statistically significant effect on the acceptance of BMTs. Tell-show-do (TSD) and hand-over-mouth (HOM) techniques achieved the highest and lowest mean scores of parental acceptance, respectively. The acceptance of physical restraint (P = 0.013) and parental presence/absence (PPA) (P = 0.015) of parents was obtained higher among men compared to women using t-test.CONCLUSION: Giving an explanation to parents while performing a BMT is effective in raising parents' acceptance of the technique. Non-invasive methods such as TSD and PPA of parents are the more favorable methods to parents.

- چکیده انگلیسی: BACKGROUND AND AIM: Poor oral health among children with impaired hearing has been reported frequently due to lack of communication skills and effective health educations. In this study, we assessed the effect of two training methods on short-term oral health outcomes among children with impaired hearing.METHODS: In this experimental study, 80 hearing impairment (HI) student aged 7-19 years old were randomized into two groups, one group watched a guided training video and the other group was educated by a dental model. The training sessions were weekly and continued for 1 month. A trained dentist examined all participants using O’Leary plaque index (PI) at baseline, 1-month, and 3-month visits.RESULTS: At baseline, the difference between the mean O’Leary PI in the video training and dental model training groups was not significant (34.3% vs. 35.6%). In the video training group, sharp decrease was seen at the 1-month visit (reinforcement periods), i.e., 18.7% (P = 0.001), followed by a slight increase at the 3-month visit (non-reinforcement periods), i.e., 19.1% (P = 0.100), respectively. On the other hand, in the dental model, a decreasing trend was seen 24.7% at 1-month (reinforcement periods) and 19.9% (P = 0.001) at 3-month visits (non-reinforcement periods). Overall, there were no significant differences between the two methods of training (P = 0.300).CONCLUSION: Both video and dental model effectively improve the oral health of children with HI in short term. Continuous school-based oral health education programs, particularly for HI children, need to be considered.

- چکیده انگلیسی: Descriptive statistics is the process of summarizing gathered raw data from a research and creating useful statistics, which help the better understanding of data. According to the types of variables, which consist of qualitative and quantitative variables, some descriptive statistics have been introduced. Frequency percentage is used in qualitative data, and mean, median, mode, standard deviation, standard error, variance, and range are some of the statistics which are used in quantitative data. In health sciences, the majority of continuous variables follow a normal distribution. skewness and kurtosis are two statistics which help to compare a given distribution with the normal distribution.

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Learning statistics is a necessity for dental researchers. Due to daily dental science expansion, dental researchers have to study new papers in recent dental journals to remain up to date. On the other hand, knowing principles of statistics helps better understanding of the articles. Some authors revealed that knowledge of dentists about basic topics of statistics was poor. Therefore, in this series of articles, we will discuss some statistical topics as self-learning tool.

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background:Dialysis is a process for eliminating extra uremic fluids of patients with chronic renal failure. The present study aimed to determine the variables that influence the survival of dialysis patients using random survival forest model (RSFM) in low-dimensional data with low events per variable (EPV).
Methods:In this historical cohort study, information was collected from 252 dialysis patients in Bandar Abbas hospitals, Iran. The survival time of the patients was calculated in years from the onset of dialysis to death or until the end of the study in 2016. RSFM was used as the number of events per variable (EPV) was low. The data collected from 252 patients were randomly divided into training and testing sets, and this process was repeated 100 times. C-index and Brier Score (BS) were used to assess the performance of the model in the test set.
Results: In this study, 35 (13.9%) mortality cases were observed. Based on the findings, the mean C-index value in training and testing sets was 0.640 and 0.687, and the mean BS value in training and testing sets was 0.017 and 0.023, respectively. The results of the RSFM revealed that BMI, education, occupation, dialysis duration, number of dialysis sessions and age at dialysis onset were the most important factors.
Conclusion: RSFM can be used to determine the survival of dialysis patients and manage low-dimensional data with few-events if the researcher desires to select a nonparametric model.- انتشار مقاله: 11-04-1398

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Introduction: Trichloroethylene (TCE) is an industrial solvent which is often used as a degreaser for metal parts. Due to adverse health effects and carcinogenic properties of this solvent, knowing its concentration in the workplace atmosphere is really crucial. Nowadays, carbon nanotubes with high efficiency are being used for sampling of this chemical. Method: Three types of static standard atmosphere with the concentrations of 18, 35, and 53 ppm were produced. Then, sampling tubes which contained 10 mg of functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes were prepared. Subsequently, air standard atmosphere was made inside sampling bags. The mean adsorption efficiency was examined in three sampling flows (0.1, 0.15, and 0.2 L/minute). Finally, desorption was performed by carbon disulfide and analysis was conducted using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry) GC/MS (according to the instructions of NIOSH 1022 and OSHA 1001. Results: The highest amount of adsorption occurred in the flow of 0.1 L/minute (81.51±3.72). Furthermore, considering the three studied concentrations of trichloroethylene (18, 35, and 53 ppm); the highest efficiency was recorded at 18 ppm concentration (83.18±11.67). The highest adsorption efficiency with the lowest standard deviation (80.55±3.85) was observed in samples that were immediately injected into the GC/MS machine. Conclusion:Given that time-lapse had no significant effect on adsorption efficiency, it is argued that the pollutant had suitable stability on the surface of the adsorbent. The results of this study show that multi-walled carbon nanotubes have better performance at lower concentrations of trichloroethylene.

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: The prevalence of alcohol consumption in Iran cannot be estimated because large variations have been observed in the reported prevalences of alcohol consumption. The main aim of this study was to assess the methodological challenges in estimation of the life time prevalence of alcohol consumed in Iran. By the same token we provided a standard approach for future researches in this regard. Methods: Published articles were reviewed systematically. Using the risk of bias tool, 49 out of 600 articles met the eligibility criteria. Based on the population of alcohol consumers, the included studies were categorized into 5 groups: general populations, patients, school students, university students, and specific population (first relatives of opium addicts and women who were faced with epistemic violence). Results: There was a paucity of reliable information in about 40% of provinces. Almost all studies applied the direct size estimation methods, but 11 studies used face to face interview and 38 studies used self-administered questionnaires. The non-response bias seemed prominent in entire studies except those on school students. It is important to mention that 97% of papers in general population did not represent any information about the non-response rate. The reported prevalence ranged from 1.37% in university students to 88.8% in patient population. Even among university students, the prevalence varied considerably (1.37% to 34.7%). Conclusion: The observed huge variations in the reported prevalence of alcohol consumption, due to the methodological consideration, appear largely in Iran. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a standard protocol for data collection and sampling to harmonize the findings in future studies. In addition, it is recommended to assess the frequency of alcohol use by indirect methods such as the Network Scale Up method.

- کلمات کلیدی: Iran,Ecological study,Maternal Mortality
- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background & Aims: Maternal mortality is a tragedy which threatens human life. It is an indicator of womenʼs health and development of society as well. Therefore, prevention of maternal deaths is one of the main goals in many countries, including Iran. The aim of this study was to review and analyze the recorded data on maternal mortality in the country, in order to improve the management of maternal mortality. Methods: In this ecological study, the data related to the maternal mortality during the years 2007-2010 were obtained from the Health unit at the Iranian Ministry of Health and Medical Education. Data were analyzed according to the number of births during the studied period and the country indices using univariate and multivariate analysis methodologies. Results: The maternal mortality ratio (MMR) in the studied years was calculated by 22.3 per 100,000 of live births which showed the average reduction of 0.41 in every 100,000 births annually in the whole country. The highest value was reported in Sistan and Baluchistan province (48.6) and the lowest in Cheharmehal and Bakhtyari province (9.6). In Iran, the maternal mortality was relatively high in the age groups under the 15 (50.2 in every 100,000 child births) and over the 35 years (61.3 in every 100000 child births). The analysis related to the different provinces indicated that there was a significant reverse relationship between the maternal mortality ratio and variables of net attendance of girls in secondary schools, men and women literacy, access to improved water and sanitation, as well as antenatal and delivery care. Likewise, there was a significant positive relationship between the maternal mortality ratio and births in the house assisted by unskilled health personnel. Conclusion: This study showed the association between the health and social variables with maternal mortality ratio in Iran at an ecologic level. In order to reduce maternal mortality, more efforts seem to be essential to develop the various provinces, particularly poor areas.
