Morning reports were held virtual after the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in the world and Iran. We used the Skyroom platform, which was not used previously. The novelty of this method caused us to evaluate the learners' opinions about the advantages and disadvantages of the virtual method compared to the classic face-to-face one. This was a descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study during 2021. The population included the interns and residents of Pediatrics. Their opinions were assessed through a questionnaire at Bahrami Children's Hospitals, Children’s Medical Center, and Valiasr Hospitals in Tehran regarding the two methods of holding the morning report. The questionnaires were distributed and completed in a period of 6 months in 2021. A total of one hundred and twelve interns and residents were included. According to them, the virtual method had a higher score in terms of increasing information technology skills and easier interpretation of the paraclinical results. The advantages of the virtual method were: no need for physical presence, availability, ease of use of the application, and time-saving as well as better prevention and protection of COVID-19. The only disadvantage of this method was the occasional low-quality of audio and video. Also, in the virtual method, there was less possibility of participating in the discussion. More than half of the participants wanted to hold face-to-face meetings with the possibility of virtual participation in future. Virtual training platforms have been able to eliminate some of the face-to-face training problems. Online morning reports can be a satisfactory complement to face-to-face ones.

Perioperative hypothermia is common during anesthesia and surgery and is accompanied by several complications. Compared to adults, children are at a greater risk of hypothermia and its complications. The aim of this study was to compare forced air and warmer in maintaining normothermia during pediatric surgery. This randomized controlled trial was performed on 90 children undergoing elective hernia repair equally distributed in three groups of warmer, forced air and control. Patient's body temperature was recorded preoperatively, intraoperatively, at the end of surgery and at the end of the postoperative care unit (PACU) stay. Time between anesthetic discontinuation and tracheal extubation and duration of PACU stay were also noted. Intraoperative and postoperative body temperature and body temperature on exit from PACU were significantly higher in forced air group compared to warmer and control groups and in warmer group compared to control group (P

The increasing use of ecstasy among the young generation in our society has led to many adverse effects. This research was performed to assess the level of knowledge about ecstasy in high school students and some of its determining factors such as age, parents’ level of education, students’ educational condition, and the source of information. In this analytical cross-sectional study, 707 girls studying in high schools and pre-university centers in district 6 of Tehran were enrolled into the study by cluster random sampling. A questionnaire containing questions about students’ age, high school grade, parents’ level of education, failing in at least one course in the previous semester, the mean grade of the previous semester, source of information, and signs, symptoms and complications of using ecstasy was completed by the students. Chi square test was used to analyze the data. In this study 161 (22.2%) of the students achieved 75% or more of the knowledge score and the majority, which were 374 students (52.9%), did not answer at least half of the questions correctly. High school grade, parents’ level of education, failing in at least one course and source of information were significantly correlated to the level of knowledge. It is suggested that due to the low knowledge of high school students, more information regarding signs, symptoms, and complications of using ecstasy should be given to students through media, family, and schools.
