Abstract

 

  Background and Objectives: Chest injuries cause 20% to 25% of morbidity of traumas. However, with chest tube intervention and appropriate prophylaxis the rate of morbidity can be decreased. Chest tubes can cause infection, but this kind of infection can be prevented by using prophylactic antibiotics. This survey is performed to exert the effect of prophylactic antibiotics in patients with chest tube.

  Materials and Methods: In this clinical trial study, 70 patients who were hospitalized in the emergency care units because of chest trauma, were selected by accessible sampling in the year 2011 and divided into two equal groups (35 patients in each group). The intervention group was given sephalosporin prophylaxis and the control group received placebo, then the patients were followed for 2 weeks (after 3, 7 and 14 days). Data were analyzed using paired t test, independent t and X2 using SPSS 18.

  Results: The difference between total mean score of fever in case (37.73±0.41) and control (37.63±0.39) groups, did not indicate a significant difference in the complication of chest tube after trauma (p>0.05). The major symptom after the second week was ploritic pain.

  Conclusion: Findings represented that in the group which intervention was carried out the mean scores of fever and the other complications were not different with the patients in the control group. Thus using prophylactic antibiotics in patients with chest tube is not recommended for the care of the patients who suffer from chest trauma.

Volume 22, Issue 4 (7-2023)
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Tribulus terrestris is one of the medicinal plants. The aim of this study was to determine the amount of total phenol and flavonoid, and antioxidant activity in different developmental stages of the aerial parts of two populations of T. terrestris.
Materials and Methods: The present laboratory study was conducted in 2021 in two habitats, warm and cold climate, in Ilam Province. The amount of total phenol, the total flavonoid content, and the antioxidant activity of the metanolic extract of the aerial parts of the plants were measured and expressed as IC50 (The half-maximal inhibitory concentration). Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance.
Results: The highest and the lowest total phenol and flavonoid contents were obtained respectively in the flowering stage of warmer climate and the stem emergence stage of colder region. The highest and the lowest antioxidant activity were respectively related to the flowering and the stem emergence stages of Mehran and Asmanabad habitats.
Conclusion: The flowering stage of Mehran tropical habitat had the highest content of total phenol, total flavonoid, and antioxidant activity.

The Effectiveness of Art Therapy Focused on Compassion on the Distress Tolerance in Abused and Neglected Adolescent Girls: A Quasi-Experimental Study
Zahra Saeedi, Dr. Sajjad Basharpoor, Mohammad Narimani, Alireza Hosseini Sadr,
Volume 23, Issue 3 (7-2024)
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Adolescents who are abused and neglected face many challenges, and it is imperative to pay attention to their mental health.The purpose of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of art therapy focused on compassion on the distress tolerance of abused and neglected adolescent girls.
Materials and Methods: This study is a quasi-experimental study that was conducted with a pre-test and post-test design. The statistical population was all abused and neglected female adolescents of Bushehr City in 2023. The sample size was 30 people selected by the convenience sampling method and randomly assigned into the experimental and control groups (15 people in either group). The experimental group underwent 10 sessions of 90 minutes of compassion-focused art therapy, while the control group received no intervention. The instrument to gather data was Simons and Gaher's (2005) Disturbance Tolerance Scale. Data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance.
Results: Art therapy focused on compassion was effective in tolerating the turmoil of abused and neglected adolescents. Eta squared showed that 18.5% of tolerance variance, 18.7% of absorption variance, 16.9% of evaluation variance, and 20.6% of adjustment variance are due to the effectiveness of art therapy focused on compassion (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Art therapy focused on compassion has been effective in increasing tolerance of emotional disturbances in abused and neglected adolescent girls. Therefore, it is recommended that this treatment be used in organizations interacting with injured people to increase the tolerance of disturbance and increase their mental health.
