Antibiotics, comprising a significant amount of pharmaceutical compounds, are used as human and veterinary treatments . these antibiotics come to appear as contaminantoin soil, surface water, groundwater, and even drinkingwater.Advanced oxidation processes such as catalytic ozonation are effective to remove the antibiotics form water and wastewaterThe aim of this study was to investigate the efficiency of Catalytic Ozonation Process for tetracycline antibiotics removal from contaminated waters

In this design, an ozonation pilot with a volume of 200 cc was used. In each experiment, the tetracycline solution was poured into the desired concentration, the pH of the sample was adjusted with sulfuric acid and NaOH. At different times of 5 to 30 minutes and different pHs of 2 to 10 ozonation was performed at the dose of 0.8 mg/min. Then, under these conditions, ozonation was performed in the presence of activated carbon catalyst and a sample was discharged from the pilot and analyzed (HPLC) to determine the remaining tetracycline.

The results showed that under optimum conditions of pH= 8 and ozone dose of 0.8 mg / min and contact time of 30 minutes ozonation only eliminated 59% of tetracycline and in the same conditions catalytic ozonation with 0.01 g/L carbon. The Calligonum comosum tree was able to remove 100% tetracycline in 30 minutes.

The results of this study showed that carbon catalyzed ozonation from wood Calligonum comosum waste can be used as an advanced treatment method.

The aim of this study is to compare the brain-behavioral systems in people before and after open-heart surgery.The present research is a descriptive study with a comparative and retrospective causal method with purposeful sampling. The statistical population of the study includes 210 people, encompassing 70 people who underwent open-heart surgery, 70 volunteered for open-heart surgery and 70 other with a history of heart diseases. the information was collected in addition to the demographic questionnaire through the Gray-Wilson personality questionnaire. Then, in order to analyze the collected data, statistical models of multivariate and univariate analysis of variance were used. The results showed that, patients candidate for open-heart surgery scored higher than patients who underwent surgery and the control group in behavioral activation measure. According to the findings in the behavioral inhibition component, there is a significant difference between the three groups. Patients who underwent surgery received the minimum scores in active avoidance, further people who underwent open-heart surgery received lower scores than patients who were candidate for surgery and the control group in extinction measurement.Therefore, due to the decrease in the performance of the behavioral activation system and the increase in the performance of the behavioral inhibition system, behavioral-activation-based interventions under the supervision of psychologists should be planned and implemented for these patients.

The prevalence of asthma has increased dramatically among children. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of asthma symptoms among school‐age children in Zahedan, southeast of Iran.

In this cross-sectional study, 1,600 primary school girls and boys were examined by multistage random sampling. Data were collected using the International ISAAC Questionnaire. The data were analyzed in Stata.14 software using chi-square test, multiple logistic regression and Kappa coefficient.

The prevalence of asthma based on physician diagnosis was 6.2%. The prevalence of asthma was statistically significant in girls with 8.3% and boys with 4.2% (P

One of the most important factors causing musculoskeletal disorder is awkward body posture during work. Ergonomic interventions to improve working posture are essential. Improving posture is effective in promoting health, reducing stress and reducing work discomfort, it is also an important factor in terms of work efficiency and job performance. There is a close relationship between posture and work efficiency, which has led to improved posture, increased efficiency and job performance.

The present quasi-experimental research is a descriptive-analytical study that has been performed on 164 employees of small workshops. This study was performed in three stages including ergonomic evaluation of employees' posture using REBA evaluation method, interventions and post-intervention post-re-evaluation. WILCOXON statistical method was used to analyze the results.

The results of this study showed the improvement of posture in the organs of neck, trunk, arm, forearm, wrist and legs. Also, the comparison of overall score and risk level before and after the intervention was significant (P

The coronavirus pandemic has created the most fatal health crisis in humanity in the recent century.

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic progressive disease of the central nervous system and is characterized by symptoms of pain and decreased functional capacity. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of emotion regulation skill training and acceptance and commitment therapy on cognitive failures and emotional avoidance in patients with MS.

The present study was a quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest and follow-up design. Subjects with a age range of 20-20 years and expanded disability status scale (EDSS) of one to 5.5 were selected purposefully and voluntarily and randomly divided into experimental and control groups. In the pre-test-post-test phase and the 2-month follow-up, both groups answered Broadbent and et al. cognitive failure questionnaires and Kennedy et al. emotional avoidance. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software version 23 and covariance analysis method with repeated measurements.

Microphthalmia is defined as the presence of a small eye inside the orbit, which occurs 30 times per 100,000 live births. 11% of which have been reported blind. Microphthalmia is associated with systemic anomalies in more than 50% of cases and has multiple and complex environmental and chromosomal causes. And in it chromosomal replication, deletion and displacement play an effective role. This study reports a case of unilateral microphthalmia referred to Shahidan Mobini Hospital in Sabzevar.

Case report: 

A 35-year-old pregnant woman born to a 33-week-old mother with a gestational age of 33 weeks and one day is based on NT sonography. Examination of the left eye's microphthalmia was observed on the first day after delivery.

According to the reported case, in order to prevent such a very worrying birth, it is necessary for obstetricians and gynecologists to pay special attention to this point in the periodic examination of pregnant mothers in the second trimester ultrasound of pregnancy and if The pregnant mother was exposed to X-rays or had infectious diseases or other risk factors such as long-term use of thalidomide, warfarin and alcohol, vitamin A deficiency, in addition to ultrasound, it is recommended to perform genetic testing if possible.
