- چکیده انگلیسی: BACKGROUND AND AIM: Identifying the factors affecting utilization of dental services is one of the best ways to improve the health status. This study aimed to investigate the effective factors on utilization of dental services.METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 1185 household heads were selected randomly, and using a researcher-made questionnaire based on World Health Organization (WHO) Global Health Survey and Andersen behavioral model, and through multivariate logistic regression, the predictors of visiting a dentist during 1 year ago were investigated in 2017. The households’ income inequality in utilization of dental services was analyzed using concentration indices (CIs) and Pearson chi2 in STATA software.RESULTS: The predictor of dental visit during 1 year ago for men was having decayed teeth [odds ratio (OR) = 1.3, P = 0.030], and the predictors for women were lower ages (OR = 0.8, P = 0.001 for 19-29 years old and so on), having 32 natural teeth (OR = 0.7, P = 0.020), and employment (OR = 1.3, P = 0.048). The common predictors were increase in education level (OR = 1.4, P = 0.001 for men, and OR = 1.7, P = 0.001 for women with university degree), brushing (OR = 1.9; P = 0.001 for women, and OR = 1.3; P = 0.040 for men), and having supplementary insurance (OR = 1.7, P = 0.001 for men, and OR = 1.9, P = 0.001 for women). Being burdensome of dental care costs during 3 years ago (CI: -0.074, P = 0.001), avoiding visiting a dentist during 1 (CI: -0.501, P = 0.001) and 3 (CI: -0.501, P = 0.001) years ago because of its costs, and failure to do all dentistry recommendations during 3 years ago (CI: -0.516, P = 0.001) happen more frequently among the poor. Moreover, the poor used all dental services such as scaling (CI: -0.638, P = 0.001), filling (CI: -0.458, P = 0.001), and root canal (CI: -0.524, P = 0.001) less than the rich.CONCLUSION: Dental health status is negatively affected by population socio-economic situation; therefore, it is necessary to implement policies to improve access to dental services among the undeserved.

- چکیده انگلیسی: Unilateral nevoid telangiectasia syndrome (UNTS) can be classified into two major categories: congenital and acquired. There have been reports showing an increase in skin estrogen and progesterone receptors in patients with this syndrome. We report a male patient with acquired unilateral nevoid telangiectasia syndrome without any associated physiological or pathological conditions.

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: The first case of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) was reported in Iran on February
19, 2020. This study aimed to assess the characteristics and reproduction number (R) of COVID-19 in
Markazi province in Iran.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. Confirmed cases (N=2430) in the regions covered by Arak
University of Medical Sciences from Feb 20 to Aug 26, 2020 were enrolled in the study. The included
variables were clinical and demographic characteristics of COVID-19 patients. The case fatality rate
(CFR), incidence rates, and R were estimated based on the daily reported data. For estimating R,
generation time was assumed on multi scenarios. R was estimated by R0-package. Moreover, Chi
square test was applied. All the analyses were performed in STATA, Excel, ArcMap and R. A p-value
less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 51.78±20.58 years, and 206(8.50%) cases were among
healthcare workers. Among the patients, 499 (20.50%) had a history of cardiovascular diseases
and 337(13.90%) diabetes type 2. The most prevalent symptoms were cough 1347(55.40%), fever
1233(50.70%), and dyspnea 960 (39.50%). The highest incidence rate of COVID-19 in the study area
(Delijan) was 575.35 per 100,000 persons. CFR was 205(8.40%). At the end of the study period, R was
calculated as 1.04 (CI 95%: 1.00, 1.08) in all districts of Arak University of Medical Sciences. The
highest R (1.08, 95% CI: 1.06, 1.10) was observed in Farahan.
Conclusion: As R is slightly high, the risk of epidemic has reduced gradually. However, observing
social distance and related guidelines are still recommended.- انتشار مقاله: 12-02-1399

- چکیده انگلیسی: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated, neurodegenerative diseasecaused by a complex interactionbetween lifetime environmental exposures and genes. Dieteic interventions environmental may affect the disease activity. These modifications may happen in intake of fats, proteins, calories, vitamins, minerals, fibers, and intake of several other nutrients which have a key role in neural health. This review was undertakento investigatethe role of nutritional modifications in patients with MS.

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Incremental forming is one of the forming methods that is considered because of no need to specific die, especially for rapid prototyping. In this study, the incremental forming process is carried out by using a rotating tool and assisted ultrasonic vibration. Purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of rotation speed and ultrasonic vibrations in the incremental forming process. According to the obtained results, mean and maximum values of forming force reduced by using a rotating tool and applying ultrasonic vibrations. The results of surface roughness tests demonstrated that by increasing rotational speed, the surface roughness improved 44% and applying ultrasonic vibrations with tool rotation can reduce surface roughness about 74%. Applying ultrasonic vibrations lead to increase micro-hardness up to 84%, but, by increasing rotational speed, surface hardness slightly reduces. Results of straight groove test determined ultrasonic vibrations with the rotating tool can increase stretching limit up to 41.79% due to the affect on the sheet plasticity behavior.

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is one of the greatest social health problems in many communities in the twenty-first century. Methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) could decrease HIV infection among injection drug users (IDU). The main aim of this paper was to determine the cost-effectiveness of the governmental MMT program to prevent human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection among IDU.Methods: This analytical study was performed through a before-after assessment during a one-year period. Using census sampling, 251 IDU referred to the public MMT program of Kerman, Iran, were selected. The expenditures of MMT centers were calculated in the view of government (public sector). The cost-effectiveness was calculated using TreeAge software.Findings: MMT centers averted 86 new cases of HIV infection. The total cost of centers was US$471 per client in the year. The share of IDU from current expenditures was 35% and from capital expenditures was 32%. Also, methadone per capita for each person who injected drug was US$514. Per capita expenditure of HIV drug treatment was estimated US$8535 per year. Incremental cost effectiveness ratio (ICER) was US$2856 per year, which means governmental MMT program is cost-effective according to the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria.Conclusion: MMT centers are cost-effective in preventing HIV infection and the access to this program should be facilitated for IDU.
