Abstract
The normal carrying angle in Shiraz population was measured on the basis of
sex and age. The right elbow angle of 4266 cases was examined from birth to 30
years old. This study found the carrying angle in 2540 females to be 7.20 (range
2-19) and in 1726 males to be 6.40 (range 2-11), a 0.80 difference.
A significant difference (p= 0.05) was found in relation to age. There is a
gradual increase in the carrying angle with skeletal maturation.

Abstract
Background : The development of microbial resistance to the existing anti-microbial agents has become a real challenge and a serious problem facing patients suffering from skin infections. Seeds of Nigella sativa have been used for a long time in folk medicine for the treatment of skin infections. Production of new potent agents is urgently needed, especially for hospitals and health care centers. This study is designed to explore anti-microbial effect of extract from the Nigella sativa seeds against skin pustules infection.
Methods: The in vivo anti-microbial effect of the Nigella sativa seeds extract at a concentration of 33% on pustules staphylococcal Skin Infections was assessed and compared with standard drug mupirocin on 40 neonates .All neonates were divided and examined into two experimental and control groupsrandomly. Recovery times were compared between two groups.
Results : The mean of recovery time in experimental group was 75/1 with SD= ± 12, and the mean of recovery time in control group was 69/4 with SD = ± 8/7.There was no significant difference in recovery time between two groups (p value = 0/131).
Conclusion: In clinical practice, the agent of Nigella Sativa recovered as pustular from tissues of all patients. While the extract was as nearly effective as the standard drug, mupirocin , no side effect was observed.

Abstract
Background: Heavy menstrual bleeding of endometrial origin (HMB) is a major healthcare problem in premenopausal women and affects several aspects of women’s health and quality of life (QoL). The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of Persian Golnar (PG) and tranexamic acid (TA) on heavy menstrual bleeding of endometrial origin (HMB) and patients’ QoL.
Methods : A double-blind randomized controlled trial with parallel design and block randomization technique was conducted. A total of 94 women with HMB were randomly assigned to take either PG or TA for 5 days from day 1 of menses for three consecutive menstrual cycles. Blood loss was measured by the pictorial blood loss assessment chart (PBAC). Hematological assessments were made before the intervention and after treatment. QoL as a secondary outcome was evaluated using SF-36 and the menorrhagia questionnaire (MQ). Statistical analysis was performed using t-test, paired t-test, χ2 test, Mann–Whitney test, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
Results : In each group, 38 women (80.8%) completed the 3-month follow-up. Both PG and TA reduced blood loss. PBAC mean (SD) score was reduced from 304.92 (176.17) and 304.44 (192.72) to 164.60 (100.24) and 143.13 (96.07) after the third treatment cycle, respectively (p<0.001). Furthermore, mean hemoglobin, Hb (SD) concentrations in the PG and TA groups increased significantly from 12.06(0.86) and 11.53(0.86)mg/dl to 13.02 (0.82) and 12.72 (0.88)mg/dl (p< 0.001). QoL was significantly improved in both groups (p< 0.001). However, there were no significant differences between the groups after the intervention.
Conclusion : The results of the present study demonstrate the efficacy of PG in treating HMB in terms of clinical and QoL indicators.

Abstract
Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurobehavioral disorder in children that creates problems in parents-children relationships. Improving familial and social interactions of these children needs mental and social interventions, and parents’ management training (PMT) program is one of these interventions. The present study aimed at determining the effectiveness of PMT program on parent-child relationship of parents with ADHD children.
Methods: Through an experimental research, 40 parents with ADHD children were selected based on purposeful sampling. A total of 20 parents were randomly placed in intervention group and received 8 sessions of intervention course (60 minutes per session) and the other 20 parents were grouped in the control group and received no training intervention. Research tools included a researcher-designed demographics questionnaire and Parker’s Bonding Instrument (PBI). Data were collected at pretest, posttest, and follow- up stages and analyzed using descriptive and covariance analysis.
Results: The results revealed that PMT program was significantly effective in reducing excessive support and increasing parent care index in parents with ADHD children (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The results of the present study supported the effectiveness of PMT program on parent-child relationship of the parents with ADHD children.

Abstract
Background: Anxiety and its control is a public health problem worldwide. This study was conducted to determine the effect of family members’ presence on the anxiety level of patients who were candidates for esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD).
Methods: This randomized controlled trial study was performed in Shahid Chamran hospital in city of Saveh in IR Iran. In this study, 96 patients who were candidates for EGD and met the inclusion criteria were assigned into control and intervention groups by simple random sampling method. The demographic questionnaire and Spiel Berger's State and Trait Anxiety Questionnaire (STAI) were used to measure anxiety.
Results: No significant difference was found between the 2 groups in the mean level of anxiety before intervention (p=0.13). After intervention, the level of anxiety decreased significantly in the intervention group (p=0.001). However, the mean level of anxiety was not significant in the control group after intervention (p=0.09).
Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that the presence of family members during endoscopy may reduce the patient’s anxiety level, and thus it is recommended as a non-pharmaceutical, beneficial, and safe intervention.

Abstract
Background: Breast cancer (BC) is well-known as the most common malignancy and the first leading cause of cancer-related death among women worldwide. Evidence suggests that familial history and age are important risk factors for the development of this disease in Iran. Mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are the cause of 5 to 10% of hereditary BC. Recent studies demonstrated that mutations in BRCA1 were observed in high-risk women with family histories of BC. However, to date, the mutations have not been elucidated in BC patients from east of Iran. The purpose of this study was to analyze BRCA1 mutations in BC patient from South Khorasan Province.
Methods: In the present study, 88 BC patients (11 positive family history) were screened for mutations in BRCA1. The analysis of BRCA1 was carried out by SSCP (single-strand conformation polymorphism) for shorter exons and direct sequencing in the case of longer ones.
Results: Twenty-eight of the patients (31.8%) had a synonymous mutation (c.4308T>C) in exon 13. A missense mutation (c. 4837A>G) was presented in exon 16 with a frequency of 56.8 %. In exon 11 three missense mutations were observed, and the frequency rate for c.3113A>G was 32.5%, for c.3119G>A was 5%, and the highest frequency belonged to c.3548A>G with 72.4% in familial BC and 45.4% in the non-familial group.
Conclusion: In our study, five mutations were found, but none of the founder mutations were identified in this population. Two missense mutations in exon 16 (56.8%) and in exon 11 (65%) had the highest frequency in South Khorasan Province.

Abstract
Background: In a resource-demanding COVID-19 pandemic, guidelines can free up health care resources needed for providing better care to those with COVID-19 and other patients. This study was performed to design a guideline to manage patients with colorectal cancers during the COVID-19pandemic.
Methods: To design this guideline, major topics and headings of colon and rectal cancers (CRC) were selected and included. Based on the extent of COVID-19 infection in the community and availability of hospital resources, the guideline has been designed for 2 major COVID-19 phases. Several multidisciplinary discussion sessions were held to review the comments of experts, finalize the data, and write the guideline.
Results: This guideline has been prepared in 2 main COVID-19 phases of the community/hospital. Phase A refers to the condition where a large number of COVID-19 patients are admitted to the hospital, but limited surgical ICU beds and facilities are still accessible. In phase B, many people are affected by COVID-19, and all hospital resources are allocated for COVID 19 patients. In phase A, 4 major groups are discussed, including malignant and suspicious colorectal polyps, colon cancers, rectal cancers, and recurrent cancers. The approach to emergent cases, including obstruction, bleeding, and perforation, will be presented in phase B.
Conclusion: This guideline is a comprehensive instruction on the approach to colorectal cancers during the COVID-19 pandemic that covers the major topics of colon and rectal cancers in detail.
