Today, retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) plays an important role in ophthalmology and automated analysis of OCT images is very important, The need for labeled data and manual segmentation of these data by the ophthalmologist and limited labeled data are challenges in the field of medical imaging and a large number of labeled data is needed to train deep learning algorithms as well as to evaluate the performance of image processing algorithms.

The data of this project include OCT dataset in the presence of retinal abnormality in age-related macular degeneration disease, obtained from AREDS2 Ancillary device at Duke University. Seventy B scans that are randomly selected from the above set are used to train the algorithm. The active shape model is used to generate synthetic boundaries, and new images are produced similar to the shapes in the training set.

Considering the anatomical features of the existing images such as the number and thickness of the layers as well as the brightness related to them, data with high similarity are produced in the presence of anomalies. Synthetic data were reviewed by an ophthalmologist to evaluate the results.

The proposed model is designed to fill the gap in the production of OCT Synthetic data in the presence of anomalies, using important features such as the boundary of the main layers of the retina and disease-damaged tissue, and can be used as a data set for training deep learning-based algorithms as well as performance of segmentation algorithms.

Invasive fungal infections due to Aspergillus and Candida often occur in leukemia and transplantation patients because of a severe compromised in their immune systems. Rapid identification and initiation of treatment in the early stages of the disease can reduce mortality from fungal infection. The aim of this study was the identification of invasive fungal infections by Real-time PCR in patients with hematologic disorders and bone marrow transplantation.

patients with immunodeficiency hospitalized in Mashhad hospitals between March to November 2018 were evaluated for invasive fungal infections using TaqMan Real-time PCR with fluorescence probes and specific primers to identify fungal DNA in peripheral blood samples.

Seventy-five patients participated in this study. The female/ male ratio was 34 (45.3%)/ 41 (54.7%). The most common underlying disease was acute lymphoblastic leukemia (45.3%) and acute myeloid leukemia (32%) and the lowest was related to haemophagocytic patients with lymphohistiocytosis (1.3%). Blood culture results showed isolation of non-albicans Candida (13.3%) and Candida albicans (1.3%). Aspergillus species was not isolated from the blood culture. Real-time PCR were positive for Candida albicans and Aspergillus species in 5 (6.7%) and 9 patients (12%), respectively and 61 patients (81.3%) had negative results for invasive fungal infections.

Fungi are one of the major cause of infections in the patients with hematologic disorders. Real-time PCR techniques can be a reliable and fast way to diagnose these infections and manage the disease in high-risk individuals.

With of bioinformatics technology advancement, new methods of cancer treatment, such as the use of bacterial toxins, can now be explored more rapidly. In the present bioinformatics study, the probable attachment of Shiga toxin subunits to Interferon gamma (IFNG), Prostaglandin G/H synthase 2 (PTGS2), and Sodium/ glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1) was investigated to take a step towards cancer suppression.

The gene sequences were extracted from NCBI database. SWISS-MODE and jmol databases were used to detect the sequence and model the three-dimensional structure of proteins, respectively. The effect of StxA and StxB on IFNG, PTGS2 and SGLT1 proteins was evaluated with ZDOCK data base.

Three-dimensional structure of proteins showed that the StxA protein was not a monomer, and that StxB had flat structures that bound it to the cell surface. Alpha helices and beta sheets are present in IFNG, and this monomeric protein lacks a symmetric tertiary structure. PTGS2 has a large complex structure consisting of several alpha helices and a beta sheet. In SGLT1, which is a transmembrane protein, only alpha helices were seen. There is a significant interaction between Shiga toxin protein and all three proteins IFNG, PTGS2 and SGLT1 by the method of molecular docking.

Findings of this study provide a new dedication for laboratory studies of the effect of Shiga toxin to evaluate its ability to stimulate the immune system, reduce tumor growth and treat cancer according to its ability to attach to the proteins which are effective in these processes.

Leishmaniasis is affected by individual, behavioral and environmental factors that are still unknown and their identification can help control and prevent the disease. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of social-cognitive factors affecting leishmaniasis prevention behaviors in health ambassadors.

This descriptive-analytical study was conducted in rural areas of Mashhad in 1400. 207 health ambassadors were selected by multi-stage random sampling. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire based on cognitive-social theory structures whose validity and reliability were confirmed. Data were analyzed and collected in SPSS software version 26 using Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis and Spearman correlation coefficients and linear regression.

Based on linear regression test, the structures of emotional adjustment, self-control and self-efficacy in overcoming obstacles were significant predictors of preventive behavior of seekers and were able to predict 55.7% of the variance of this behavior. Emotional adjustment (β = 0.347, P <0.001) was the strongest predictor of behavior. After that, self-control (β = 0.295, P <0.001) and self-efficacy of overcoming obstacles (β = 0.158, P = 0.012) had a positive and significant correlation with behavior, respectively.

Findings of this study show that interventions to promote leishmaniasis prevention behaviors using emotional adaptation, self-control and self-efficacy strategies can be effective in overcoming barriers. Therefore, designing and implementing programs to promote leprosy-protective behaviors in this group of society is useful for controlling leishmaniasis.

Axial categories Showed Habit-oriented health Along with lifestyle and basic awareness, it plays an important role in children's oral health.

In interpreting our findings, after a group discussion with research colleagues, we came to this conclusion. Class analysis was inefficient in explaining the class behaviors of individuals and according to Bourdieu, Giddens and Habermas should pay attention to the combination of people's cultural capital and their economic capital, their lifestyle and consumption, how they interact with their friends and relatives.

Exercise can minimize the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) by regulating cellular signaling in the heart and arteries. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of warfarin consumption with continuous and interval training on the expression of cardiac osteocalcin gene, vitamin MK-4 and serum calcium in myocardial infarction mice.

In this experimental study, 42 male Sprago-Dovali rats (180-120g) were randomly divided into 7 groups: healthy control, myocardial infarction or ischemia (ISC), ISC+interval training, ISC+continuous exercise, ISC+warfarin, ISC+interval training+warfarin and ISC+continuous exercise+warfarin. Induction was induced by subcutaneous isoproterenol. The duration of training was eight weeks, five sessions per week and the dose of warfarin was 0.5 mg/kg per day. Gene values, changes in vitamin K2 and calcium were analyzed by Real time-PCR, ELISA, photometric and data analysis using independent t-test, one-way variance and two-factor variance (P<0.05).

Disease induction increased the expression of osteocalcin (p=0.003), vitamin K2 (p=0.027) and calcium (p=0.001) genes compared to healthy controls. In the study of osteocalcin gene expression, ischemia+warfarin group with ischemia+EIT (p=0.014) and ischemia+ECT (p=0.007) and in the study of calcium levels of ischemia group with ischemia+EIT (p=0.014), Ischemia+ECT (p=0.001) and ischemia+warfarin+ECT (P=0.013) were significantly different. Also, the interaction between exercise and drug was not confirmed on any of the variables.

It seems that interval and continuous exercise be effective in reducing vascular degradation and calcification after MI by reducing the cardiac osteocalcin and serum calcium and minimizing the side effects of some drugs such as warfarin.

The purpose of the present research The purpose of this research was to design an educational game model with an emphasis on the development of children's interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence and its effectiveness on this skill in preschool children. Early interpersonal behaviors help the child adapt in school and achieve success. Young children who enter school with weak interpersonal skills have many problems, including rejection by peers, behavioral problems, and low levels of academic progress. Having interpersonal skills enables the child to create interpersonal relationships and at any stage of life. To strengthen your interpersonal relationships.

Abstract Cancer is one of the serious health problems in today's societies and is one of the leading causes of death in developing countries. Due to the fact that cancer patients suffer from many problems, including digestive problems. The aim of this study was to predict the biological indicators of stress based on emotional regulation and rumination in patients with gastrointestinal cancer. In terms of research method, this research was a descriptive-correlational research. The statistical population of this study consisted of all patients with gastrointestinal cancer who referred to hospitals in Tehran in 1400. The sample size was obtained based on the formula 50+ k5. A total of 250 patients in the population were selected by available and voluntary sampling. Data in this study were obtained using Nolen and Hooksma rumination questionnaire, cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire, and biological indicators of stress. In this study, descriptive statistical indicators such as mean and standard deviation were used to organize, summarize and descriptive information of subjects' characteristics and research variables. In the inferential statistics section, Pearson correlation statistical methods were used to analyze the data using SPSS.22 software. According to the findings, ruminant responses, distracting responses and cognitive emotion regulation were significant predictors of biological stress indices. It can be concluded that biological indicators of stress in patients with gastrointestinal cancer are predictive based on emotional regulation and rumination.

The aim of this study was to present a structural model of students' addiction tendency based on the components of stress tolerance, differentiation and difficulty of emotion regulation mediated by impulsivity. The study was a descriptive study of structural equations. The statistical population of the study was the students of Islamic Azad University of Tehran in the academic year 1300-1400, which was selected by cluster sampling. The sample size was obtained using software based on the equation of 310 people, which was distributed at a rate of 10% and 314 questionnaires were examined after pre-processing. Research tools include scales; Emotional Distress Tolerance (DTS-SF), Self-Differentiation Scale (SODS), Emotional Difficulty (ERQ), Barrett Impulsivity (BIS-Brief), and Addiction Tendency (SPQ). Despite the normality of the distribution, the data analysis was performed by modeling variance-based structural equations, which were tested using SPSS-26 and Smart PLS statistical software with 0.95 confidence and power equal to 0.85 causal hypotheses. The results of the conceptual model test showed that the measurement and structural model fit indices are in a good condition. Anxiety tolerance constructs and difficulty adjusting emotion at the 0.99 confidence level had an effect on the impulsivity construct and all variables had a significant direct effect on addiction tendency. Also, part of the behavior of the variables of tolerance for anxiety and difficulty in regulating emotion without a significant effect of differentiation on the tendency to addiction was dependent on the presence of impulsivity.

AbstractBreast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women. Diagnosis and treatment can all be extremely stressful. This study aimed to review mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on quality of life, depression, and serum cortisol levels in women with breast cancer.This study is a quasi-experimental research project of pre test-posttest with the control group. The statistical society contains 30 women with breast cancer referred to Omid Hospital in Mashhad that they were selected by sampling method and they were randomly divided into two groups of 15 people of the experimental and control group. To do the therapy, a trained clinical psychologist held 8 sessions of 90 minutes per week for the experimental group, while the control group received no treatment session. To measure variables from Beck depression questionnaires (BDI-II), quality of life SF36, and to evaluate cortisol levels, the blood samples were taken between 8 and 10 am before the first and last treatment sessions were started. In the statistics section, while describing the data descriptively and examining the assumptions of analysis of covariance (Shapiro-Wilk test,,Levin test, regression line homogeneity test and ..)statistical test of analysis of covariance was used. The results showed that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is effective in reduced depression and enhanced quality of life and increased serum cortisol from low to moderate levels within the normal laboratory range (P <0.001). The results showed that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy can be used as an effective intervention to promote mental health in patients.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of life skills training and group relaxation on depressive symptoms of Imam Khomeini nurses in Shahrak. The statistical population of this study was all nurses of Imam Khomeini Hospital in Arak. From this population, 45 people were randomly selected and randomly divided into three experimental groups 1, experimental group 2 and control; The sample size was 45 people, each group consisting of 15 people. Experimental group 1 received life skills training in 10 sessions of 45 minutes twice a week and experimental group 2 received light training in 10 sessions of 45 minutes twice a week. Beck Depression Inventory (1996) were the tools used in this study. Inferential statistics that data were used for one-factor covariance and multivariate covariance tests due to pre-test. Then, Ben Foroni post hoc test was used to compare the means by two.  Both life skills and group relaxation approaches have a significant effect on the depressive symptoms of nurses in Imam Khomeini Hospital in Arak. Comparison of the two approaches showed that the life skills  approach to group relaxation is based on depressive symptoms. Also, there is no statistically significant difference between the mean scores of post-test and the mean scores of follow-up test, which shows the stability of the results affected by therapeutic interventions over time (P≥0.001). It seems that both approaches affect the research variables.

In addition to medical and pharmaceutical intervention and support, women with breast cancer also need psychological intervention. This research was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of emotion focused therapy (EFT) on the resilience and hope of breast cancer patients.

The research method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. 35 people as a research sample from the community of women with breast cancer in Region 5 of Tehran city in 2021 were selected using the available method and were randomly replaced in two experimental and control groups. The required findings were collected using resilience and hope questionnaires in two pre-test and post-test sessions and were analyzed using the covariance method.

The findings of the research showed that the mean scores of the post-test of resilience and hope were different in the experimental group, and the results of covariance analysis showed that EFT is effective in improving the resilience and hope of breast cancer patients (p<0.001).

Therefore, EFT can be used to increase the resilience and hope of breast cancer patients.

Communication technology has had a dramatic impact on teaching-learning opportunities in a variety of educational situations, including education. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of traditional, electronic and combined education on creative and active writing of gifted high school girls.

 One of the new and effective approaches to the management of medical centers and hospitals is the use of safety, health, environment and quality management system (HSEQ). The purpose of this study is to assess the risk of safety, health, environment and quality in hospitals and medical centers of the country.

 This research is of survey and analytical type. In the first step of the research, HSEQ evaluation criteria and indicators were developed using a group of experts (32 people). Then, 22 study sites in Alborz province were randomly selected and the events and challenges related to the indicators were examined over a period of 2 years (2020-2022). In the third step, risk assessment was performed. The project management structure (PMBOK) was used to analyze the identified factors. In this study, probability factor and impact rate are classified into 5 levels.

 21 indicators can be listed as components of risk assessment (HSEQ) for medical centers. The "safety" criterion had the highest (243 cases) and the "health" criterion had the lowest risk (95 cases). The highest number of risk indicators belonged to "failure to identify the main foci of risk" and then, "failure to assess safety risk" and "failure to assess environmental risk", which were classified in the range of "very high risk".

 It can be said that the applying the HSEQ approach can play a decisive role in reducing the level of various errors and also increasing the level of safety. Keywords: safety, health, environment, quality, medical centers, risk assessment.
