Background: The curriculum of Operating Room Master of Science in Iran is novel, so it requires constant evaluation as well as quality assurance and promotion. The present study aimed to comparing the curricula of Master of Science in Operating Room in Iran and Master of Perioperative Nursing in selected Australian universities.
Materials and Methods: Necessary data was collected through an extensive search in Websites of universities of Melbourne, Adelaide and Latrobe and correspondence with them, English and Persian databases between 2000 -2020. The four-step model of George Beredy was used to assessment the curriculum.
Results: The most important characteristics of the Australian postgraduate Curricula were lack of entrance exams, full-time and part-time education, at least two years of nursing work experience in operating rooms as a licensed practical nurse. The number of courses was more with flexibility in choosing courses. While in Iran Taking the Iranian University Entrance Exam, non-consideration of operating room work experience, and not entering the orientation or specialization in the graduate encyclopedia, Full-time education were features of the senior operating room curriculum.
Conclusions: Comparing Iranian and Australian educational systems revealed a significant difference in programs and Curricula offered in both countries. In order to eliminate the shortcomings and promote the field in Iran, it is recommended to the planning officials, to pay attention to the clinical work experience, to use the capacity of the selective-specialized unit and the dissertation in order to become specialized, different research methods and to offer some special courses in virtual form.

Introduction: The aim of the present study was to develop a model of food craving based on family communication patterns mediated by Behavioral Emotion Regulation in overweight students in Mashhad.
Materials and Methods: The method of this research was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of the present study was all middle and high school male students in Mashhad during the academic year 2021-2022. In the present study, 1150 students were selected to increase the accuracy of the research and for the initial diagnosis of obese students. After examining the questions related to the height and weight of the subjects, students with a body mass index (BMI) equal to or greater than a 95th percentile were considered as the obesity criteria and participated in the research through an online questionnaire; and finally 320 overweight students were selected as the sample group using the purposive sampling method. For data collection, Cepeda-Benito's Food Cravings Questionnaire, Ritchie Family Pattern Questionnaire, and Garnefski and Kraaij’s Behavioral Emotion Regulation Questionnaire were used.
Results: The results showed that the conformity orientation (β = 0.25) and behavioral emotion regulation (β = 0.29) have a direct and positive effect on food craving; Also, according to the amount of VAF statistics, it can be seen that 26/2% of the effect of dialogue orientation and 34/8% of the effect of conformity orientation on food craving can be explained through behavioral emotion regulation.
Conclusion: Therefore, family and emotional issues can have a significant contribution to reducing the food cravings of overweight students.

Background: High blood pressure is known as the third cause of death in the world. millions of people are affected by this disease. The renin-angiotensin system plays a role in causing this disease. AngiotensinII receptor blockers (AT1) are effective in reducing blood pressure. AngiotensinII expression has been observed in the suprachiasmatic nuclei. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of angiotensinII injection in the suprachiasmatic nucleus on the cardiovascular function of rats.
Materials and methods: 24 male Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups. 1- control, 2- angiotensin II, 3- angiotensinII + losartan. Group1: normal saline with a dose of 100ml, group2: angiotensinII with a dose of 100μm, and group3: angiotensin with a dose of 100μm, and after 30minutes, losartan with a dose of 100μm, and after 2minutes, angiotensin with a dose of 100μm, microinjection into the suprachiasmatic nucleus and blood pressure and heart rate was recorded.
Results: There was no significant difference between mean arterial pressure and heart rate before and after saline injection.(P>0.05), in the angiotensin group, ∆MAP and HR∆ compared to before the injection of this dose of angiotensin(P<0.001 and P<0.05), and compared to the control group(P<0.001 and P<0.01), It increased significantly. In the losartan group, microinjection of losartan before the second injection of angiotensinII caused a significant decrease in ∆MAP compared to the first injection of angiotensinII (P<0.001), but it was not significant in HR∆.
Conclusion: Microinjection of angiotensinII in the suprachiasmatic nucleus increased blood pressure and heart rate through binding to AT1.

Background and Objective: Obesity and overweight have become a global problem. Obesity is increasing sharply, especially in Iranian women. Experts believe that diet and drugs alone are not enough to treat and control sugar and blood fat metabolism of patients, but physical and sports activities should also be added to the daily schedule.
Materials and Methods: The current research is a semi-experimental type with a pre-test and post-test design. 40 overweight women were randomly assigned to four groups of combined exercise (10people), combined exercise-supplement (10people), supplement (10people) and control (10people). Aerobic training was performed for 8 weeks and three sessions per week with 50-75% of the maximum heart rate and TRX training in the range of 12 to 17 pressure perception on the Borg scale. 24 hours before the start of training and 48 hours after the end of the last session, blood was taken to measure leptin and visfatin. Then, analysis of covariance (Ancova) test was used for inter-group changes and paired correlation T-test for intra-group comparison. Data analysis was done by SPSS version 25 software at a significance level of P<0.05.
Results: The results show a significant decrease in leptin (p=0.001) and visfatin (p=0.001) values, and the changes for the exercise and exercise-supplement group were more than the cinnamon supplement group.
Conclusion: According to the results of the current research and since combined exercise has a beneficial effect on leptin and visfatin compared to supplements, it can be recommended that overweight people use combined exercise to lose weight.

Background:Social media addiction is one of the serious problems in the recent century that numerous scales and questionnaires have been designed to measure it. Considering the strengths and weakness of each tool, it is necessary to have a reliable and valid tool which is compatible with Iranian culture.Therefore, in the present study, Sahin’s questionnaire was translated and its psychometric properties was assessed.
Materials and Methods:It is a methodological study on 12-18 years old high school students at Sepidan. The questionnaire was translated and re-translated by experts and its psychometric properties were assessed using qualitative and quantitative content and face validity, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, McDonald’s omega, Cronbach’s alpha and also test-re-test.
Results: During translation and qualitative face validity, some changes were made in the scale items. The Importance Score of all items were higher than 1.5.But in content validity, the CVI of some items were low that after some revision they changed to 0.7 and higher. In assessing Content Validity Ratio of items, the item number 4 achieved a critical number less than the Lawshetable and was omitted. Therefore 28 items entered in factor analysis. Exploratory factor analysis categorized the items into 4 subdomains and the confirmatory factor analysis confirmed fitness of the model.
Discussion: Sahin’s social media addiction scale (2018) had a good validity and reliability in the Iranian students and it seems to be an appropriate tool for assessing social media addiction in adolescents.

Background: Diabetes is one of the most important health problems in the world. The aim of this study was to evaluate the response of a session of resistance exercise with blood flow restriction (REBFR) to hemodynamic and hematological changes in type 2 diabetic patients.
Materials and Methods: Fifteen patients with type 2 diabetes performed knee flexion and extension of the resistance exercise with and without BFR in two sessions with intensity of 20% and 80% 1RM, respectively. Hemodynamic and hematological changes were measured at before, immediately and 30 minutes after exercise. Repeated analysis of variance was used to evaluate the effect of the intervention on quantitative factors.
Results: The mean values of systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate values in both training sessions were not significantly different (P <0.05). The results showed that there was no significant difference between WBC, RBC, HCT, Hb, MCH, MCHC, MCV and PV indices between resistance exercise sessions with and without BFR (P <0.05). According to the findings, the amount of RBC and Hb increased significantly immediately after REBFR (P <0.05), which returned to resting levels after 30 minutes of recovery.
Conclusion: Low-intensity REBFR due to no significant change in hemodynamic, hematological and platelet parameters can be an effective and low-cost mechanism in preventing cardiovascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes and as a Non-pharmacological treatment system and alternative to high-intensity resistance exercise to prevent muscle atrophy, especially in clinical populations, especially diabetics.

Background and purpose: Cancer is one of the diseases that requires complex and multidisciplinary treatment. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to compare the effectiveness of positive thinking training and cognitive therapy based on mindfulness in improving morale and psychosocial adaptation in breast cancer patients.
Materials and methods: The current research was a semi-experimental type with a pre-test-post-test design. The statistical population of this research included all breast cancer patients in the Bukan Cancer Patients Association, 45 people were selected and randomly replaced in three groups: positive thinking training, cognitive therapy based on mindfulness, and the control group. The experimental groups were trained in positive thinking and cognitive therapy based on group mindfulness for 8 weeks and one 60-minute session every week.
Findings: Both treatments had a significant effect on the variables of demoralization and psycho-social adjustment in breast cancer patients. Also, the study showed that positive thinking training treatment was more effective than cognitive therapy based on mindfulness in the variable of demoralization. Also, the results showed that cognitive therapy based on mindfulness was more effective than positive thinking
training in the variable of psychosocial adjustment.
Conclusion: Therefore, to help breast cancer patients, psychological treatments can have positive effects so that by overcoming the existential crisis, they adopt a new cognitive and behavioral system and get out of their negative habits and thought patterns and live consciously and meaningfully. To discover the hidden meaning in the heart of suffering caused by cancer.

Introduction: The common marmoset's performance in saccadic eye movements is similar to that of humans and macaques as a regular model in vision research, and phylogenetically, it is a primate that is intermediate in the evolution between rodents and macaques. Therefore, with high cognitive capabilities and the potential to use molecular techniques, it is a suitable option for research. In this study, the characteristics of saccadic eye movements were investigated in two species of the marmoset family.
Materials and Methods: Two common marmoset and one black-tufted marmoset were investigated after head-post implantation surgery and training in behavioral tasks to measure the characteristics of saccadic eye movements. After extracting the saccades, amplitude, velocity, duration, and inter-saccades interval were used to compare. To compare the data, the overlap of histograms and boxplots along with statistical tests were used.
Results: In all measured characteristics, a large overlap between histograms and boxplots in the distribution of saccades data was observed between three animals. However, the statistical comparison of the data shows a significant difference between the saccade characteristics (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Despite the differences between species, the similarity in eye saccadic characteristics in two species of common marmoset and black-tufted marmoset indicates the possibility of using both species in vision research.

Coronaviruses are a subset of coronaviruses, fever, dry cough, respiratory distress, fatigue, muscle aches, and diarrhea, even without the underlying disease, it is likely to be related to the individual characteristics of the patients. Therefore, it seems necessary to study internal characteristics such as blood type, temperament or even the genes of patients.Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study in 1399. A total of 100 people were selected from those who had respiratory symptoms and had a positive QQ 19 test. Mood questionnaire was completed for each person. 3 cc of venous blood was taken from patients to evaluate blood group.Results: In the study of the relationship between sex and disease severity, 42.2% of men were admitted to the ward and 38.9% of women were mostly examined on an outpatient basis, but this difference was not significant.Compared with blood groups, O-negative blood group had the lowest and A-positive blood group had the highest prevalence. In terms of prevalence of wet and dry temperaments, 29.6% had wet temperament, 43.2% had moderate temperament and 27.2% had dry temperament. Also, in the study of cold and hot temperament, 21% had a cold temperament, 49.4% had a balanced temperament and 29.6% had a warm temperament. There was no significant relationship between cold temperament and disease severity between the three temperament groups. P = 0.21)). Also, there was no significant relationship between wet and dry temperament and disease severity between the 3 groups (P = 0.09).
