Abstract
Mantoux test using 2 IU of tuberculin prepared in Iran was performed on 6675
healthy persons randomly selected from an urban population (Shiraz) of Iran.
In 3776 persons with no evidence of previous BCG vaccination the rate of
positive reaction was less than 2% up to the age of 14, slightly more than 2% among
those 15-19 years of age, but strikingly higher (45.5%) in older age groups (P<0.001).
The rate of positive reaction was higher among females (P<0.025).
At the time of the study 2899 persons (43.3%) had received BCG. In this group
the rate of positive reaction, being highest in the below 4 years old age group, dropped
suddenly in the 5-10 year old age group and gradually increased thereafter to reach
a high level (>90%) again. The differences between different age groups as well as
the two sexes were statistically significant (P<0.005), though the sex difference was
reversed in this group.

Abstract
In order to study the prevalence of psoriatic arthritis in Imam Reza Hospital
and determine the effects of factors like age, sex, familial history, type of skin
involvement, nail involvement and duration of disease on psoriatic arthritis, 300
psoriatic patients over a period of 4 years were admitted and examined in the
Department of Dermatology and Rheumatology in Imam Reza Teaching Hospital,
(MUMS). A special form was designed for collecting needed data (data collection
sheet). Statistical analysis was done on these data.
In the studied population, the prevalence of psoritaic arthritis was 16.6%.
T he most common involved joints were the wrist and fingers (52%). Asymmetrical
peripheral oligoarthritis was the most prevalent type of joint involvement.
Most of the patients were between the 3rd and 4th decades of life. Familial history
was positive in 20% of psoriatic patients and 18% of psoriatic arthritis. From a
clinical point of view 78% of psoriatic arthritis patients had psoriasis vulgaris.
Nail involvement in this group was seen in 72%. Nail pitting was present in 68%.
In general, the vulgaris type was seen in 89.2% and nail involvement in only
42.8%.
In conclusion, psoriatic arthritis was present in 16.6% of 300 patients with
psoriasis. It is recommended that joint and spine exams be performed in all cases
of psoriasis, especially those with nail involvement.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Psoriasis is a chronic proliferative condition of the skin. Its accurate pathogenesis has not been known yet, but interactions between genes and environmental factors have been implicated in its initiation. The role of malassezia in psoriasis is still undetermined, but several reports have associated these lipophilic yeasts with the development of skin lesions in psoriasis.Our aim was to investigate the correlation between malassezia and psoriasis.
Methods: In this case control study over a 6 month period skin samples were obtained from lesions of 50 psoriatic and 50 healthy volunteers to evaluate malassezia infestation. Obtained data were collected by questionnaires and analyzed by SPSS software and applying statistical tests of χ2 and Mann-Whitney.
Results: There was no difference between malassezia infestation in scalp lesions of psoriatic and control cases (P=0.86). Malassezia infestation in psoriatic patients with scalp involvement was more than those without it, but it was not a significant relationship (P=0.069). There was an inverse significant correlation between scalp infestation with malassezia and chronicity of psoriasis (P=0.04). This infestation in trunk skin of patients was less than normal individuals (P<0.000).
Conclusion: There seems to be an initiating role in inducing immune mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of scalp psoriasis by malassezia, but with chronicity and formation of dry and hyperkeratotic plaques, the environment will be inappropriate for malassezia, so malassezia infestation decreases with chronicity of disease.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Right ventricular myocardial performance index (RVMPI) is a Doppler–derived parameter of non-geometrical ventricular function that measures both systolic and diastolic functions of the right ventricle. The aim of this study is to compare prognostic value of RVMPI with global RV function in patients undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG).
Methods: In a longitudinal study, 100 eligible patients who underwent CABG for coronary artery diseases were studied from March 2004 to September 2006. Global RV function and RVMPI changes were measured serially by Doppler echocardiography after surgery. Patients were divided into 2 groups. In group A, LVEF was < 40% and in group B, LVEF was >40%. Patients were followed for four months after hospital discharge. Statistical analysis included chi-square test, student t–test or one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).
Results: We studied the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF), post-operative myocardial infarction, pericardial and pleural effusion, infection, readmission and also ventilation time and ICU duration. Global RVEF and RVMPI were not related to the incidence of post-operative AF rhythm, myocardial infarction, pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, infection and readmission in both groups. In group B, RVMPI had more prognostic effect on ventilation time and ICU duration, but this effect was not seen in group A. In group B, global LVEF and LVMPI had more prognostic effect on ventilation time and length of ICU stay in comparison with those in group A.
Conclusion: In group B (EF>40%), RVMPI had the most prognostic effect on estimation of ventilation time and ICU stay duration, but in group A(EF < 40%), LVMPI had the most prognostic effect on them.

Abstract
Abstract
Despite sophisticated conventional medical treatment and the continued development
and improvement of coronary revascularization modalities in recent years, a significant
number of patients still suffer from refractory angina pectoris and cannot be successfully
managed. Advances in therapeutic options have led to an increase in the average of life
expectancy even in such no-option patients. Management of these patients is a challenging problem because most of them have already undergone multiple coronary interventions or surgeries and therefore are not suitable candidates for further procedures. In this situation, cardiologists who frequently face the patients are limited in their decision making when all therapeutic methods have been exhausted. The aim of this review article was to draw attention to the novel therapeutic strategies currently available for this condition, including nonconventional medical treatment, improving myocardial perfusion, neuromodulation, new vessel formation and eventually heart transplantation. Unfortunately, these therapies have only a complementary role because of inadequate experience. Therefore, maximal conventional treatment along with these options should be used on an individual basis.

Abstract
Background: It is well established that upper and lower airways are often clumped together when diagnosing and treating a disease. This study was designed to determine the prevalence of upper and lower airway diseases and to assess the effect of sociodemographic factors on the prevalence and the comorbidity of these disorders.
Methods: This cross-sectional population-based study included patients with ages ranging between 15 to 65 years, who were referred to allergy outpatient clinics in various provinces of Iran from April to September 2020. A modified global Allergy and Asthma European Network (GA2LEN) screening questionnaire was filled out by local allergists of the 12 selected provinces in Iran. Information about the patients and sociodemographic factors was also recorded. Statistical analysis was done by univariate statistical analyses and multiple logistic regressions in SPSS software Version 26.
Results: Out of 4988 recruited patients, 1078 (21.6%) had the symptoms of allergic rhinitis (AR) and 285 (5.7%) met the criteria of asthma. The prevalence of acute rhinosinusitis (ARS) and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) was 21.6 % and 22%, respectively. The highest prevalence of AR and ARS was in Tehran with the arateof of 33.9% each. Asthma was more prevalent in Khuzestan (14.2%) and CRS in Baluchestan (57.5%). Our analysis showed that the patients with asthma were most likely to have other allergic diseases as well—CRS (OR = 4.8; 95% CI, 2.02- 5.82), AR (OR= 2.5, 95% CI, 2.10-3), ARS (OR = 1.8; 95% CI, 2.10-3), followed by eczema (OR = 1.4; 95% CI, 1.13-1.67).We found that those individuals with CRS were most likely to have painkiller hypersensitivity (OR= 2.1; 95% CI, 1.21-3.83). Furthermore, smoking has been found more than 1.5 folds in patients with ARS. After adjusting variables, there was no correlation between education, occupation, and ethnicity with the studied diseases.
Conclusion: Rhinosinusitis is a common condition among Iranian patients. This study confirmed that inflammation of the upper and lower airways can occur simultaneously. Gender, education, occupation, and ethnicity were found to be irrelevant in the development of either AR, asthma, ARS, or CRS.
