This study aimed at comparing the profile and personality traits of compulsive/heavy Internet users with that of average users.
This study employed the causal-comparative research design. The population of the study consisted of 9800 students of Islamic Azad University, Urmia Branch, out of which 189 male students were selected through multistage cluster sampling. The selected sample responded to Young’s Internet dependency test, the NEO five-factor inventory (NEO-FFI) as well as the Minnesota multiphasic personality inventory (MMPI). The data was analyzed by means of multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA).
The results indicate that compulsive/heavy Internet users that underwent psychological profile measurement, using MMPI, obtained significantly higher scores in hypochondriasis, depression, hysteria, psychasthenia and schizophrenia, yet they obtained lower scores in hypomania. Moreover, it was shown that compulsive/heavy Internet users compared with average Internet users obtained higher scores in personality traits, such as extraversion and neurosis yet lower scores in conscientiousness and agreeableness.
The profile and personality traits of compulsive/heavy Internet users compared with that of average users are different in some respects and indicate malevolence in some cases, which justifies addressing these traits.

We compared bipolar TURP with current monopolar TURP for safety and efficacy in 6 months follow-up.
A total of 94 patients with LUTS (lower urinary tract symptom) related to BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) were inscribed in this research. They were randomized into group B, who underwent bipolar TURP (47 patients), and group M, who underwent monopolar TURP (47 patients). Preoperatively, by using IPSS (international prostate symptom scale) and IIEF-5 (international index of erectile function-5) questionnaires severity of LUTS and Erectile function were assessed. All patients were submitted to transrectal ultrasonography and PSA determination. Surgical and immediately postsurgical variables and accidents were charted; all cases were re-assessed at three and six months after surgery by use of IPSS and IIEF-5 ((international index of erectile function-5) questionnaires. Urethral stricture incidence and reoperation rate after surgery, total postoperative catheter time and hospital stay, change in Na, and hemoglobin were also recorded in two groups.
There was no distinct difference between two groups in regards to blood transfusion necessity. The level of serum Na was clearly lower in the monopolar group postoperatively. Catheterization necessity time and duration of hospitalization were clearly shorter in the B-group; transurethral resection syndrome did not happen in any cases of the groups. The groups were corresponded about IPSS improvement. Changes in erectile function, regarding IIEF-5 scores, were similar between the groups.
Bipolar TURP is an impressive and secure technique that is correlated with a distinctly shorter catheterization time, shorter hospital stay, less decrement in the levels of serum sodium, and is correspondent with monopolar TURP in regards to efficacy by attention to IPSS IIEF-5 scores.

Dialysis is a chronic and agonizing disease, the prevalence rate of which is constantly increasing. In addition to physical damages caused by it, this disease leads to mental disorders and damages in patients. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the role of hope for the future and psychological hardiness in the quality of life among dialysis patients.
This descriptive study is followed by a correlational-predictive design. The current study had a statistical population including all dialysis patients in Zabol. Among these patients, 66 people were selected as a sample using a convenience sampling method. Data collection tools were World Health organization quality of life assessment, Kobasa psychological hardiness questionnaire, and Snyder hope scale. Data were analyzed via SPSS 16 using a Pearson correlation coefficient and a stepwise regression analysis.
Correlation results indicated that there were significant and direct correlations among quality of life, hope for the future, and psychological hardiness (P Given the results obtained from the present study, it can be concluded that to move towards a better future, dialysis patients’ quality of life can be promoted by increasing these patients’ suffering-tolerance threshold, hardiness, and hope.

Performing cardio pulmonary resuscitation at hospitals by clinic staffs requires skills, knowledge, precision, and speed for obtaining proper results. The main purpose of the present study was to identify mistakes and errors that occur during cardio pulmonary resuscitation by clinic staffs.
The present study was observational and was performed between years 2014 and 2016, in a way that the researchers, as presenting the resuscitation code, observed patients, who had Cardiac arrest, and recorded all actions performed by the clinical staff. The sampling method of the study was convenient sampling and was performed for 48 cases of CPR. Collected data were analyzed without mentioning the patients’ and hospitals’ name.
Most common and important errors or mistakes made during CPR included treating monitors instead of patients, problems in identifying proper equipment, ignoring clinical symptoms of the disease, such as Agonal Gasp, deciding to terminate the CPR, improper placement of the staffs’ palm for circulation, and increasing the speed and number of times for circulating. Over hyperventilation, inability in patients ventilation with bag valve mask, wasting time in difficult vein puncture, delay in circulation, inability in realizing actions priority during CPR, broken and out of service equipment, forgetting to check the pulse, rhythm and shock discharge without shock indication, lack of attention to device sync bottom status, device discharge without informing others, and over use and excessive fluid therapy.
The obtained results from the present study indicate that level and quality of presenting clinical care in the emergency section in studied hospitals was not at a desirable and acceptable level and indicates lack of proper education and training for clinical staffs and physicians. Educational needs assessment and optimizing human resource, and proper investment are key factors in developing clinical care and can increase efficiency and reduce casualties.

The exposure of patients and radiation workers to ionizing radiation is evaluated in most cases on the basis of risk versus benefit. Any unnecessary exposure of the entire community is an unacceptable risk.
The purpose of this paper was to assess medical interns and residents’ awareness of radiation protection in pediatric diagnostic imaging.
This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 270 medical interns and residents. Data collection was done using a questionnaire prepared according to a literature review, with confirmed validity and reliability. After collecting and scoring the questionnaires, the data were extracted and analyzed by descriptive statistics, independent t-test, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient.
The participants’ awareness of pediatric diagnostic imaging was 75.55% and awareness of the principles of biological effects of radiation was 62%. There was a significant difference between the awareness of residents (59.16%) and that of interns (52.22%) (P = 0.01). The results for the two groups also showed that there was a significant difference between the level of knowledge about the dose received during imaging in both male and female groups (P = 0.04).
Based on the results, in order to reduce children’s exposure to radiation, it is recommended to enhance the awareness and knowledge of general and specialized medical students at universities and hospitals through retraining courses.

Infidelity in marriage is defined as one of the main threatening factors in stability and survival of a marriage. The concept of infidelity is defined as the violation of the governing convention for couples, who have extramarital relationships.
The present study aimed at predicting infidelity proneness using early maladaptive schemas (roots development).
A total of 357undergraduate students of Urmia Branch, Islamic Azad University, Iran, were selected through random cluster sampling during 2015 and 2016. The students were assessed using the Schema Questionnaire-Short Form (SQ-SF) and Infidelity Proneness Scale.
The results of the regression analysis showed that early maladaptive schemas (roots development) are significant predictors of infidelity proneness (P Primary maladaptive schemas (roots development) are significant predictors of infidelity proneness, in a way that the role of early childhood events in instigating the person to commit this destructive behavior becomes more noticeable. Predictors of infidelity proneness are as follows: disconnection and rejection, over vigilance/inhibition, deprivation, other-direction, and impaired autonomy and performance.
