The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of the infection and to consider the metronidazole susceptibility of the T. vaginalis isolates. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted on 670 women attending to gynecology clinics in Qorveh, Kurdistan province, in 2015. Diagnosis of trichomoniasis was performed by using Dorset culture medium and wet mount methods. In vitro drug susceptibility testing was done aerobically after establishment of the isolates in axenic culture medium, Diamond.  Results: From 670 vaginal samples, eight (1.2%) and four (0.6%) of them were positive for T. vaginalis by wet mount and cultured methods, respectively. Fifty percent of the infected individuals aged from 35 to 44 years old and who were illiterate (P<0.05). Clinical signs and symptoms of trichomoniasis were vaginal discharge, itching, burning sensation, dyspareunia, abdominal pain and greenish discharge. All of the parasites were sensitive to metronidazole with mean of MIC and standard deviation of 1.9 and 0.85µg/ml, respectively.   Conclusion: Although, the prevalence of trichomoniasis is relatively low in the studied population but due to the importance of sexually transmitted diseases in public health, strategic measurements are necessary to prevent and control of the infections.  }, Keywords = {Trichomonas vaginalis, Parasitic Sensitivity Tests, Prevalence, Kurdistan, Metronidazole}, volume = {23}, Number = {3}, pages = {185-192}, publisher = {Hamadan University of Medical Sciences}, doi = {10.21859/hums-23032}, url = {http://sjh.umsha.ac.ir/article-1-1157-en.html}, eprint = {http://sjh.umsha.ac.ir/article-1-1157-en.pdf}, journal = {Avicenna Journal of Clinical Medicine}, issn = {2588-722X}, eissn = {2588-7238}, year = {2016} } @article{ author = {Hajiahmadi, Fahimeh and Safari, Nasim and Alijani, Pegah and Rabiei, Mojgan and Masomian, Neda and Arabestani, Mohammad Rez}, title = {Assessment of the Prevalence of Class I and II Integrons of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates From Hospitals of Hamadan}, abstract ={Introduction: Due to the increasing trend of antibiotic resistance in the Enterobacteriaceae family, treatment of infections caused by these bacteria has been difficult.

Then, the isolates were verified by standard biochemical methods and PCR was performed on class I and II integron genes using specific primers. Results: The results of this study showed that the prevalence of class I integrons was more than class II integrons. The most frequent class I integron gene cassettes were aadA1 and dfrA7 respectively, which are resistance encoding genes for kanamycin and trimethoprim.

Despite numerous studies that have identifid many therapies, debate and survey continues on the best technique to prevent this complication. Threfore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the ''Reverse Flow" technique in prevention of headache aftr dural puncture in cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. Methods: In this single blind, simple randomized clinical trial, patients were divided to two groups: intervention and control. Each group constituted of 120 patients. In the intervention group we mixed 3 mL Marcaine 0.5% with 1 cc fentanyl and injected 3 mL of this mixture into subarachnoid space by 24-gauge quincke spinal needle then simultaneously with injection of 1mL of this mixture, the needle was withdrawn. In the control group only 3 mL of this was mixture was injected into subarachnoid space and we had no injection while needle withdrawing. Thn we evaluated headache at 6, 12, 18, 24, 48 and 72 hours aftr the operation and if patients had headache we determined severity of pain with the Numerical Rating Scale. Results: Incidence of headache in the intervention group was 2.5% and 9.2% in the control group (P = 0.028). Th average severity of headache was 5.66 ± 3.21 in the intervention group and 5.18 ± 2.89 in the control group (P = 1). Th mean age was 29.26 ± 5.95 in the control group and 27.89 ± 5.58 in the intervention group (P = 0.066). Th mean age in patients, who suffred from headache, was 24.66 ± 3.05 in the intervention group and 29.72 ± 6.54 in the control group (P = 0.23). Patients who complained of headaches were younger than others. conclusions: Ths study indicated that use of "Reverse Flow" technique in cesarean section under spinal anesthesia reduces PDPH. Th incidence of PDPH in patients, who have not received this technique, was 3/7 times more than patients, who have received this technique.

Methods: In this experimental study, thirty disc-shaped specimens (5 × 2 mm) of each of methyl methacrylate based (Filtek p60, 3M Dental Products, USA) and a silorane based (Filtek p90, 3M Dental Products, USA) composite resins were prepared, according to manufacturers' instructions.

The specimens were exposed to regular soft drinks Coca-Cola, (Khoshgovar, Tehran, Iran) at room temperature for seven days with a frequency of three times daily for 20 minutes at a time. In the remaining times of the day, they were kept in distilled water. Then, micro hardness measurements were made for each specimen with a Vickers hardness testing machine (Buehler, Lake Bluff, IL, USA) under 500 g of force for 15 seconds.

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalenceof intestinal helminthes of stray dogs in Hamadan city, Iran.. Methods: A total of 103 stray dogswere shot in the inner and around of the city in year 2015. Following necropsy, the intestines' contents of dogs were examined for helminthes macroscopically. Then, the collected worms, after washing with saline,were counted and identified according to being Nematode, Cestodeor Acantcephala. Then, collected Nematodes were put in glass containers containing 70% ethanol-glycerine and Cestodes after processing on slides were put in the 10% formalin. To identify the species of helminthes, the Cestodes were stained using carmine acid and Nematodes were cleared in lacto-phenol. Results: Result indicated that, 74(71.8%)stray dogs were infected at least by one species of intestinal helminthes. The species of parasites were as follows: Echinococcus granulosus 37.9%, Dipylidium caninum 51.5%, Toxocara canis 19.4%, Taenia hydatigena 24.3%, T. multiceps 2.9%, T. ovis 1.9%, Mesocest oideslineatus 4.9%, and Acantho cephala 5.8%.There was no association between insex, season and region with prevalence of intestinal helminthes (P > 0.05).

The aim of the study was the determination and modeling of dose-response bone char fluoride removal from aqueous solutions and comparison of the adsorption isotherm models with dose-response models from the perspective of adsorption. Methods: In this experimental study, bone char was prepared by using an electric furnace at 450˚C in two hours. Sorting the adsorbent was conducted by standard sieve ASTM in the range of 18-35 meshes and its characteristics were determined with conventional methods. The concentration of fluoride was measured according to the recommendation of manufacturer (HACH) with Dr-5000 of regent fluoride. Dose-response models were fit to the data and parameters were estimated. Based on the quality of fitness indicators, the adsorption isotherm models were compared with dose-response models. Analysis of the data in this study was performed using the R software version 3.1.2 and stats package. Results: Fit indexes (AIC and R2) showed that the most appropriate model for the data in pH= 10, concentration = 10 and pH = 7, concentration = 20 was the Emax model and in pH = 7, concentration = 10 and pH = 7, concentration = 15 the quadratic model. According to these models, the median of effective dose on bone char at removal of fluoride was determined 0.11 g in concentration of 10 mg/L and pH = 10. The maximum effective dose was determined 1.25 g in concentration of 20 mg/L and pH = 7. The index (AIC) showed that quadratic dose-response models better fit to adsorption data than adsorption isotherm models. Conclusions: The median and maximum effective doses of bone char at removal of fluoride were estimated by statistical models more accurately. In addition, determining the goal dose was performed using modeling method, which was more economic than repeated testing, and the performance time was also more cost-effective.
