Background:Infant mortality is often used as a standard measure of a population’s health. Until cause of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is unknown (SIDS), the best strategy to decrease SIDS, is programming to decrease facing with risk factors. The aim of this study was to find the SIDS risk factors among families during their child care in Iran. The study is the first in Iran to examine the risk ...

OBJECTIVE Verify the changes of endotracheal cuff pressure before and after oral hygiene, head-of-bed elevation at 0º, 30º, and 60º, change in body position, aspiration of the endotracheal tube, and in-bed bathing. METHOD The study sample was composed of 88 patients. We performed 3,696 checks from July to September 2014. RESULTS Pressure values were analyzed in seven nursing care in the mor...

Background: Diagnostic cardiac catheterization is a common procedure in coronary artery disease. Patients’ movement and activities are limited because of potential risks; therefore, they need bed rest. The current study aimed at investigating the impacts of changes in body position and earlier ambulation on comfort, bleeding, and ecchymosis after the diagnostic cardiac catheterization. M...

OBJECTIVES Spaceflight back pain and intervertebral disc (IVD) herniations cause problems in astronauts. Purpose of this study was to assess changes in T2-relaxation-time through MRI measurements before and after head-down tilt bed-rest, a spaceflight analog. METHODS 8 men participated in the bed-rest study. Subjects remained in 6° head down tilt bed-rest in two campaigns of 21 days, and rece...

The use of bedrails in preventing patient falls from bed remains highly controversial and has received only limited research attention throughout the last decade. The present study questioned the relationship between bedrail use and patient falls from bed particularly in terms of age-gender characteristics, mental status and the severity of injuries sustained. A retrospective, cross-sectional a...

effect of temperature on hydrodynamics of bubbling gas-solid fluidized beds was investigated.  experiments were carried out in the range of 25-600 ºc and different superficial gas velocities in the range of 0.17-0.78 m/s with sand particles. time-position trajectory of particles was obtained by radioactive particle tracking technique. these data were used for determination of mean velocities of...

In an attempt to determine the diagnostic value of FNA biopsy of head and neck masses, we reviewed FNAs performed on target lesions of the head and neck in1 59 patients who subsequently underwent surgery in Khalili hospital dur-. ing a 55 month period. Results ofFNAs were compared with postsurgical histologic diagnoses. These 159 cases were broken down into four categories: thyroid masses ...
