 Among the most common musculoskeletal injuries, ankle sprains in athletes and military treatment using various treatment methods are possible, so this study aims to survey and compare the treatment methods for ankle sprains in patients presenting to the emergency department at Baqiyatallah Hospital.

 Patients presenting to the emergency room of Baqiyatallah Hospital diagnosed with sprained ankles during the past six months were included in the study. The first treatment was a short plaster bandage applied to the second category. After two weeks of treatment, patients were seen, plaster or bandages were opened and reused, and the recommendations included avoiding sports. Then, follow-up patients, after three months of treatment, made a complete recovery, or sprain outcome, this time to return to work activities, and the pain was evaluated.

There were significant differences between time limits in two groups of patients with ankle sprains in cast and bandage treatment methods (P=0.001). There were significant differences between the duration of the treatment in two groups of patients with ankle sprains in cast and bandage treatment methods (P=0.001). It was also found that a significant correlation between recurrent sprains and ankle sprains three months after treatment in both the treatment cast and bandage was seen (P=0.001).

In this study, it can be concluded that despite the advantages of the bandage method, such as the casting method being less painful, the limitations of the casting healing time and duration of disease activity are much shorter than those of the bandage method. Also, the sprain recurrence rate in patients treated with plaster bandages is far lower than in casting.

Clearance with personal consent is a common problem in healthcare systems. Clearance with consent individuals increases mortality, disability, and disease exacerbation. This study investigates the extent and causes of discharge with personal consent in patients admitted to the emergency department of Baqiyatallah Hospital in Tehran.

This study is a cross-sectional study that was conducted in 2019 in the emergency room of Baqiyatallah Hospital in Tehran was performed. The research community of all hospitalized patients discharged with personal consent in the summer and autumn of winter was from the emergency room. The research sample was selected by census. A checklist with confirmed validity and reliability was used to collect the data.

Based on the findings, the discharge rate with personal consent in the emergency room of Baqiyatallah Hospital in Tehran in the summer-autumn-winter of 2019 was equal to 1.82%. Most of the patients were male, employed, and native to Tehran. They were hospitalized in the acute care ward. Most have armed force insurance and are discharged on a night shift with an average age of 40 and a standard deviation of 62. This document was truncated here because it was created in the Evaluation Mode.

The residence of patients discharged with personal satisfaction has a significant relationship with factors related to the patient. Also, the residence and life of patients discharged with personal satisfaction are significantly related to the patient's reason and the job. Patients discharged with personal satisfaction have a significant relationship with the factors related to the hospital condition. The insurance of patients discharged by personal satisfaction has a significant relationship with the factors related to the hospital. Also, the place of residence and emergency departments of patients discharged by personal satisfaction with related factors. It has a significant relationship with the hospital staff, the job, and the reason for hospitalization of discharged patients with personal satisfaction, which has a significant relationship with the factors related to the hospital's condition.

Emergency department (ED) overcrowding may damage patient outcomes in various settings. This systematic review investigated the association between ED crowding and patient mortality.

A search of three electronic databases namely Medline, EMBASE, and Web of Science websites was done to identify all original English language published studies concerning mortalities caused by ED crowding between January 1999 and January 2019.

A total of 45 studies were included in the full-text review. After excluding 17 studies because of poor quality, 28 articles were included in the final review. Twenty articles reported a direct association between ED crowding and emergency patient mortality. With the increase in ED overcrowding, mortality also increased. Nevertheless, eight of the studies reported no association between ED crowding and mortality.

ED overcrowding significantly increased patient mortality regardless of the amount of ED overcrowding and type of diseases in most studies were assessed in this study. Additional studies are required to comprehensively assess the relationship between ED overcrowding and patients’ mortality.

 War-zone injuries are creating PTSD. This study aimed to assess Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) Following Traumatic injuries among the Military Populations.

  PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar sites were searched from 2013 to 2023. Two authors separately screened, assessed, and included the studies and any disagreement resolved by senior reviewers.

Fifteen studies were included. Mental disorders among the forces showed that diseases, such as PTSD, were the highest among the military forces. The PTSD proportion in TBI cases was more significant than those without TBI. The cause of injuries and PTSD outcomes was due to blast injuries.

PTSD is among military force personnel's most common mental health disorders. Therefore, measures must be taken to prevent and control these diseases, especially among military combat forces. Classifying mental health disorders based on gender, age, the type of military service, the location of troops, the military rank of individuals, and the relationship with PTSD require further studies.

Soil water retention curve in many studies, including simulating the movement of water and solutes, irrigation and drainage issues is required. This soil hydraulic property was determined by direct (field and laboratory) and indirect methods. Direct methods are costly and time consuming therefore the indirect method such as pedotransfer functions (PTFs) are the alternative to estimate this property. PTFs are developed to estimate drying branch of soil water retention curve whereas little research has been done for wetting branch of soil water retention curve. In this study, Shani field method was used to obtain wetting branch of soil water retention curve in agricultural area in 39 site of Boinzahra county. At the first, 10 national and international parametric PTFs were evaluated to estimate wetting branch of soil water retention curve. Results showed that simulated soil water retention curve using PTFs were not consistent with the measured soil water retention curve. In order to improve simulation of wetting branch of soil water retention curve, non-linear regression is used between simulated and measured value. The results showed that the using derived non-linear regression causes the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of PTFs of Mayr-Jarvis (1999), Wosten et al. (1999), Campbell (1985), and saxton et al. (1986) decreases 174, 140, 132, and 113 percent, respectively and consequently improves estimation of wetting branch of soil water retention curve. The results also showed that the using derived non-linear regression causes Geometric mean Error Ratio (GMER) closes to one and prevents over and under estimation of PTFs.
