Abstract
Although inflammatory processes involving facial sinuses rarely develop
during childhood, these antrums due to their anatomic situations are
exposed to a variety of biologic and nonbiologic agents after birth.
Many types of bacteria are able to initiate inflammatory responses in
these antrums. Since effective management of these patients rests upon
demonstration of a specific pathogen and testing the organism(s) for
sensitivity to a variety of antimicrobial agents and due to the fact that there
are distinct epidemiological features in certain regions with respect to the
etiologies, we have randomly selected 264 patients with sinusitis from several
Tehran hospitals in order to estimate the frequency with which various
organisms may cause the condition and to evaluate antibiotic potency and
efficacy in eradicating the condition.
.
In 62.12 percent of cases the causative organisms could be cultured, in
32.3% of which more than one genus of bactria were isolated. The most
common bacterium in this setting was Staphylococcus aureus followed in
order by pneumococcus, enterobacteriaceae, haemophilus, pseudomonas
and branhamella. The sensitivity of these organisms to various antibiotics
(suitable in each case) were studied as well.

Abstract
In this survey, made to determine instances of bacteriuria occurring in
hospitalized patients who had undergone catheterization, 259 urine specimens
were taken from 103 patients admitted to three hospitals in Tehran. Of
the 73 patients who had no urinary tract infection or contamination, 40
(54.8%) developed bacteriuria at the end of catheterization. Incidence of
bacteriuria in patients under age 40 was 55.5%, and 53.5% in patients over
age 40. The organisms that were isolated from the urine cultures of the
patients were most often gram negative bacilli of Enterobacteriaceae,
among which E. coli (38%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (17%) had the
highest frequency.

Abstract
The rate of listeria abortion in Tehran was investigated. Abortion samples (200)
were cold enriched at 4°C and subcultured on selective culture media containing
acriflavin, nalidixic acid and potassium thiocyanate. Sera of patients were tested
serologically (IF method) for screening, and results were confirmed by culturing the
positive samples. Antibody against L. mollocytogelles was obtained in 70.7% of sera
but the bacteria was isolated from five samples only.

Abstract
By application of modern recombinant DNA technology, especially the
polymerase chain reaction (PCR)/dot-blot hybridization techniques, we have
investigated the molecular basis of β-thalassemia from four different regions of Iran:
central, south-east, south and north. In this study, the DNA samples were isolated
from patients and for the identification of the mutations, the 6 oligonucleotide probes
for the mutations of IVS.1/nt. 110, .lVS.1/nt.6, IVS.1/nt.1 , nonsense codon 39,
frameshift codon 8 and IVS. 2/nt.1 were selected with respect to their relative
frequency in the neighbouring country, Turkey. Four mutations accounted for76.2%
and of these, the most frequent was the nonsense codon 39 mutation, which accounts
for 60.3% of the β-thalassemia alleles tested. The remainder, in decreasing order of
frequency, wereframeshift codon 8(9.5%), lVS. 1/nt.6 (4.8%) and IVS.1/nt.11O(1.6%).
No hybridization was observed with the probes corresponding to the mutations of
rvS.I/nt I (0/ A) and rvS.2/nt.1 (0/ A). These results also revealed that the distributions
of different types of mutations were different in the four regions. This information
and the introduction to the methodology used in this study will facilitate the prenatal
diagnosis of the disease in Iran.

Abstract
Serovars of Lisreria l1Iollocyrogelles were determined. Sera of aborted samples
(200) were collected from different hospitals in Tehran and were tested serologically
by immunofluorescent antibody methods (IF tests). 137 positive sera were
identified. Positive sera were tested against 12 serovars of Listeria l1Iollocytogelles
separately. Titers of antibody in patients' sera for all serovars were determined.
The results showed that the dominant serovars of L.l1Iollocyrogelles which caused
listeriosis in the samples were 4b, la, 2 and 3. None of the sera had antibodies
against serovars 4a, oa or (ib. Some of the sera which had high titers of antibody
against dominant serovars (4b, I a, 2 and 3), showed a faint result with serovars 4d,
4e,5 and 7.

Abstract
Production of oxytetracycline by an isolated strain of Streptomyces rimosus
from Iranian soil was investigated using a special fermentation medium. A
comparative study was performed with standard strain PTCC 1144 using the
following parameters optimum growth conditions with respect to time, pH, and
different amounts of corn steep liquor. Surprisingly, the production yield of the
wild strain was 20% more than the standard strain.

Abstract
71 samples of milk and dairy products were collected from 18 cities throughout
Iran. 93 strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated and assayed against four
opportunistic patho gens including E. coli, proteus and klebsiella as gram-negative
and S. aureus as a gram-positive organism. All indicators (organisms) were
hospital strains. Among isolated bacteria, lactobacilli (37 isolates) had stronger
activity against gram-negative pathogens. 37 isolates were lactococci out of which
9 strains were leuconostocs and seven strains were S.jaecalis. S. aureus was more
sensitive to lactococci than lactobacilli. Only one isolate of leuconostoc inhibited
the growth of gram-negative indicators, but five isolates inhibited S. aureus. The
use of bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacteria in dairy products provides a
natural mean of preservation.

Abstract
Background: The main part of hospitals’ funding comes from insurance organizations. In some cases, for different reasons such as not filed services or unpaid health insurance bills, a part of these funding cannot be derived from health insurance companies. This study aims to describe different aspects of the hospitals’ revenue deficits in Iranian public hospitals.
Methods: This was a mixed-method study consisting of qualitative and quantitative studies. Qualitative data were collected through 17 semi-structured interviews and were analyzed using the analytical framework by MAXQDA.10. Quantitative data were analyzed by the TOPSIS method and Smart TOPSIS Solver.3.2.0.
Results: Based on the framework analysis, five sets of the underlying causes of hospital revenue deficits were identified and categorized in 5 themes: bottlenecks, direct causes of revenue deficits, root causes of revenue deficits, revenue deficits management strategies, and challenges and barriers to managing revenue deficits. Through inadequate clinical documentation and failed to provide the insurance organization’s requirements, the surgical units, operating rooms, and inpatient units were found as the main sources of revenue deficit. Lack of senior management commitment and inconsistency of insurance organizations for evaluating claims are often listed as the major barriers to effective implementation of corrective interventions.
Conclusion: Revenue deficits occurs in most hospital departments and in all stages of converting services into revenue, and a variety of human and organizational factors contribute to them. Therefore, focusing on the main causes of deductions and the participation of all individuals and departments involved in it is critical to reducing deductions.
