Cardiac depression is one of the most common psychological reactions of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This study aimed to determine the prevalence of cardiac depression and its related factors among patients with ACS. This cross-sectional study was conducted during 2016 in patients with ACS who were admitted to hospitals affiliated to the Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, Iran. In the present study, 407 patients completed the Cardiac Depression Scale (CDS) within two months (March - June). The data were analyzed by a chi-square test and a general linear model multivariate analysis. According to the results, the mean cardiac depression score in patients with ACS was 109.00 ± 16.49 (CI95: 107.39 to 110.60). Among the participants, 37 (9.1%), 72 (17.7%), and 298 (73.2%) patients had mild, moderate, and severe levels of depression, respectively. Although the two-way ANOVA was not significant, but there was a difference between cardiac depression score of a type of ACS. Given the high prevalence of cardiac depression among these patients, it is necessary to develop measures for routine screening in cardiac treatment units.

Predictors of Sexual Function in Gynecologic Cancer Patients

Ameneh Yaghoobzadeh Mohammad Ali Soleimani Nasim Bahrami Yasaman Hatef Matbue Behnaz Padash Amleshi

Introduction:Sexual dysfunction is one of the impacts of cancer.Several factors have affect on improving or exacerbating sexual function.This study aimed to assess predictive factors of sexual function in women with gynecologic cancer. Methods:In this descriptive cross-sectional study (during January to June, 2016), 800 patients with gynecologic cancers from two hospitals affiliated to Qazvin University of Medical Sciences were chosen by convenience sampling method.Data was collected using demographic questionnaire and Rosen sexual function index.In order for data analysis, descriptive (e.g the mean and standard deviation for continuous data, and the number (percentage) for qualitative) nominal variables and inferential statistics like multiple linear regression analysis were done.Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS22. Results:The mean score of sexual function among gynecologic cancer patients was reported 18.88 ±.36 (CI 95 : 18.17-19.59)and showed low level of sexual function.The results of the linear regression model showed that duration of disease (β = -.107,P =.001), stage of the cancer (β = -.908,P =.004), type of treatment (β =.563, P =.005), and social protection (β=.341,P=.001) can significantly predict women`s sexual function. Conclusion:Considering the results of present study, four factors including duration of disease, stage of cancer, type of treatment and social support were found important to predict the sexual function in women with gynecological cancer.So, it is suggested to perform educational programs through media and health care centers in order to promote the awareness of patients, families, illness perception, and as the whole population.

Demographic characteristics of Bryobia rubrioculus (Acari: Tetranychidae) reared on sour cherry leaves at different constant temperatures

Persian journal of acarology (2015)

Mohammad Ali Soleimani Mohammad Khanjani Babak Zahiri Saeid Javadi Khederi

The life history of Bryobia rubrioculus Scheuten (Acari: Tetranychidae) on sour cherry leaves was studied based on the age-stage, two-sex life table at nine constant temperatures (15, 17.5, 20, 22.5, 25, 27.5, 30, 32.5 and 33.5 oC), 60 ± 5% RH and a photoperiod of 16: 8 (L: D) h. The longest and shortest total development time of the mites were obtained as 62.6 ± 1.66 and 14.2 ± 0.20 days at 15 and 32.5 oC, respectively. As temperature increased from 15 to 32.5 oC, the life span of the mites decreased from 83.5 ± 2.14 to 24.7 ± 0.39 days, respectively. The highest and lowest total fecundity was observed as 37.3 ± 1.63 and 6.3 ± 1.06 eggs at 17.5 and 15 oC, respectively. The highest intrinsic rate of increase ( r ) was obtained as 0.1108 ± 0.005d -1 at 30 oC. The mean generation time ( T ) ranged from 78.1 ± 2.8 to 19.1 ± 0.2 days at 15 and 32.5 oC. Survi-vorship data ( l x ) of adult females were summarized and compared using the shape and scale parameters of the Weibull frequency distribution model. The lower temperature threshold ( t ) and thermal constant ( k ) of the immature stages were estimated using the Ikemoto and Takai linear model to be 8.9 oC and 361.3 degree days (DD), respectively. The optimum temperatures were calculated by selected nonlinear models including Analytis1/Allahyari, Hilbert and Logan, and Logan-6 models to be 33.10, 33.90 and 32.40 oC, respectively.
