The relationship between viral infections and acute or chronic urticaria is rarely reported in some articles. But its exact mechanisms are not known. There is evidence of urticaria in the patients with covid-19 infection. Therefore, there was no structured research to clarify the role of the corona virus in the pathogenesis of urticaria.

The articles that were published from January 2020 to October 2022 were reviewed by "PubMed" and "Google scholar" databases using the keywords acute urticarial urticaria, chronic urticaria along with COVID-19. Inclusion criteria were articles reporting acute or chronic urticaria in the patients with confirmed COVID-19 infection in English. Review articles and studies that reported suspected corona infection and in which urticaria were related to drug hypersensitivity and other allergic diseases were considered as exclusion criteria.

In this search, 43 articles were reviewed that were related to our goals. Among these articles, 27 studies that met the inclusion criteria were selected. 16 articles were case reports, case series, letters to the editor and 7 original articles. In this review, it was reported 17 patients in 16 case reports and case series with urticaria associated with COVID-19.

The severity of chronic urticaria may increase with corona infection. Acute urticaria may be a precursor symptom of COVID-19 infection. Finally, due to the small number of articles and some contradictory results, more studies are suggested in this field.

With the outbreak of the coronavirus and the disruption of the normal state of human life and death, the most social, economic, political, and especially educational activities changed to virtual communications.

The present study was planned with the aim of assessing the effectiveness rate of adopting Learning Management System (LMS) among students. A questionnaire method was used to obtain the perception and opinion of students of different courses and levels. The efficiency of LMS in seven different components was evaluated. The t-student test was employed to evaluate statistical results.

The results of statistical analysis has been interpretated based on the mean and standard deviation of each studied components. Except for exercises and assignments, other components were less than the average limit. The value of the univariate t-statistic was determined to be less than 1.65 (standard t-value) for all components except exercises and homework. Also, considering that the p-value level for all components (< 0.001), it is concluded that there was a significant difference in the answers of all research questions.

The results can be used to resolve the challenges of E-learning. Due to the prolongation of the outbreak of Covid-19 and the intensification of its consequences such as increasing demand for E-learning, the need for continued economic activities, and employing new tools and more effective use of IT will be necessary.

Diabetes is one of the five common chronic diseases all over the world, which can cause many complications if not treated and controlled. Mental health is an important factor against diseases that can even lead to improvement of physical health in people. The anxiety caused by the coronavirus has led to the fact that the mental health of people with underlying diseases such as diabetes is at risk, and their physical health is also affected by it. Considering the spread of the coronavirus epidemic, the purpose of the present study was to compare the anxiety and depression of patients with diabetes with average individuals during the spread of the coronavirus epidemic.

The present descriptive-analytical and comparative causal study included 300 people (150 diabetic patients, 150 normal people) who were selected by purposive sampling. The data of the present study was collected electronically using a 9-question patient health questionnaire and a 7-question general anxiety questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using Klomogrov-Smirnov, independent t, t-test and chi-square statistical tests.

In the present study, the average age of the participants was 27.48 years. Moreover, 191 female participants and 109 male participants, and the majority were university educated and married. The special findings of the study indicated that patients with diabetes experienced higher anxiety (t298=3.15, p<0.05) and depression (t298=2.23, p<0.05) than average individuals during the outbreak of corona disease and a statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups in the analysis of these two variables.

The results obtained from the present study indicated that the high level of anxiety and depression during the outbreak of the Corona epidemic made patients with diabetes more vulnerable to psychological problems.

Due to the increase in anxiety caused by corona in students, especially nursing students who deal with patients, it seems necessary to identify ways to deal with it. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the relationship between religious beliefs and anxiety of Corona among nursing students of Gonabad University of Medical Sciences.

In this descriptive research, 159 nursing students who met the criteria for entering the study in 2019 were included in the study by stratified random sampling. The data was collected through the questionnaire of demographic information, corona anxiety and religious beliefs of George. Data analysis were analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistical methods (Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Mann-Whitney, Fisher, Chi-Square) at a significance level of P<0.05.

The results showed that the majority (79.2%) of weak corona anxiety research units had strong religious beliefs (73.6%), and Spearman's test showed that there is no significant relationship between corona anxiety and religious orientation (P<0.05).

Acting on religious beliefs can reduce people's anxiety in difficult and critical situations, and in this study, because the majority of the research units had strong religious beliefs, they reported low corona anxiety.

The main purpose of this research is to identify the indicators influencing the model of managed care for emerging infectious respiratory disease (COVID-19) in Iran's health system, which can be used to explain the strategies of hospitals and medical centers in dealing with The covid 19 epidemic has a significant impact on the control and management of this epidemic. Managed care is an example of new health care systems whose task is to control the cost of services in a cost-effective manner through managed care organizations. The purpose of this study is to investigate the design indicators of the managed care model for the emerging respiratory infectious disease of Corona in Iran's health system.

This research is a survey-cross-sectional study based on two quantitative and qualitative approaches. The data of this research were analyzed by thematic analysis method with the help of MAXQDA software. 12 people from among the effective people in the management of this disease were interviewed in universities of medical sciences.

As a result of this research, 5 main categories were identified, which are: financial provision, resource provision, servicing and equipping, information and research, and government agents. According to the output of ISM calculations, the variable of information and research (C4) and government factors (C5) is the first level. To determine the elements of the second level, the variables of the first level are removed and once again the set of inputs and outputs were calculated without considering the variables of the first level. Based on the common set of identification and the variables whose commonality is equal to the input set, they were selected as the second level variables. According to the output of ISM calculations, financial provision (C1) and resource provision (C2) variables are the second level.

Health and treatment centers can be highly prepared to deal with this crisis by adding these capacities and standards studied in this research. Considering that this emerging respiratory infectious disease has become a threat to the entire population of the world, it needs timely, appropriate and cost-effective policies and measures to contain and reduce its deadly consequences. Planning to manage the crisis of the corona virus requires strategy, policy making and correct and timely action.

 Following the spread of the COVID-19 and the subsequent increased hospital visits, healthcare workers underwent psychological pressure. This situation could have had negative effects on the organization's performance. The present study was, therefore, conducted with the aim of analyzing the general health and work-related quality of life of hospital employees in post-Corona.

 This is a descriptive correlational study conducted cross-sectionally in 2022. Herein, 344 employees working in hospitals under the auspicious of Zabol University of Medical Sciences were selected through stratified random sampling method. The tools of data collection were demographic information, as well as general health and work life quality questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS (v.22). Ethical considerations were observed in all stages of the study.

 A statistically significant relationship was observed between the quality of work life and the general health of employees (P=0.0001). The mean score of the general health questionnaire was 1.49±0.62 (that was considered average) and the mean score of the quality of work life questionnaire was 2.49±0.71 (that was seen as relatively average). In the components of the quality of work life, the lowest and highest points were assigned to the component of fair payment (2.19±0.76) and general life environment (3.1±0.7), respectively. Moreover, in the components of general health, the lowest and highest scores were attributed to depression (1.09±0.55) and social functioning (1.76±0.76), respectively.

 Considering the relationship between general health and the quality of working life, hospital managers are required to constantly examine these two factors, especially during critical situations and the subsequent periods.

At the global level, the covid-19 epidemic has had many effects, especially in the health sector, and was accompanied by serious shortages and injuries. At this time, what was important was how to serve the people in order to prevent the spread and control of the disease, as well as providing health measures related to it. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to examine the role of the government and non-governmental organizations in providing health services to those affected by Corona.

it was conducted in a quantitative and qualitative manner, in the qualitative part of the interview method and in the quantitative part of the questionnaire, a questionnaire was used to collect data and it was analyzed with spss software. The statistical population of the research was estimated to be 384 people using Cochran's formula in the quantitative part and 12 people were interviewed in the qualitative part.

It showed that the health support of non-governmental organizations has more points than the health support of the government.

In the interpretation of this result, it can be said that NGOs provided completely free services in the provision of health items such as masks and alcohol; This admirable action was especially evident at the beginning of the Corona outbreak in 2019, while the government was completely surprised at that time.

The spread of the corona virus or covid-19 has challenged the health of the world and led to the emergence of various types of worries and a decrease in the level of resilience in different people, so the purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of spiritual teachings on resilience. Avari was the head of the household during the corona era.

The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group with a one-month follow-up phase. The research population included all female heads of households covered by the Women and Family Center of Qarchak city in 2022, 30 people were selected by purposeful sampling and then randomly replaced in two experimental and control groups (15 people in each group). The experimental group underwent 8 sessions of 90 minutes of spiritualism training; But the control group did not receive any intervention and remained on the waiting list. The data collection tool was Conover and Davidson's (2003) resilience questionnaire. Data analysis was done with SPSS version 24 software and repeated measurement analysis test.

The results showed that there was a significant difference between the resilience scores of female heads of households during the Corona era in the post-test and follow-up stages compared to the control group (P<0.05).

Based on the results of the present research, it can be said that the teachings of spiritualism can be used as effective educational methods to increase the resilience of female heads of households in counseling centers and psychological services. become

With the beginning of the corona crisis, nurses suffered from psychological problems that needed interventions. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy of the processing unit on the perceptual stress and anxiety of nurses during the corona crisis epidemic.

The current research method was descriptive and semi-experimental. The statistical population was nurses in the ward of corona patients of Shahid Beheshti and Shahid Yahyanejad hospitals in Babol city in 2021, the statistical sample size of 30 people was determined and selected by available sampling method and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and control group. The tools used in this research were the anxiety questionnaire, the perceived stress questionnaire, and the worry questionnaire.

The results of the analysis of covariance showed that cognitive behavioral therapy reduced the cognitive stress and anxiety of nurses during the corona crisis epidemic (P<0.001).

Considering the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy in reducing nurses' perceptual stress and anxiety, health professionals can use this method to reduce nurses' psychological problems.

Evidence suggests that one of the behaviors impacted by the quarantine measures enforced due to the COVID-19 pandemic is sexual activity. This study aims to investigate this phenomenon.

A descriptive-analytical study with before-after measurement was conducted during both the COVID-19 pandemic and post-pandemic periods in 2021-2022, utilizing the standard Sexual Performance Index questionnaire administered to 250 women in Ilam province. Inferential statistics including paired t tests, correlation and chi square analysis were performed by SPSS software.

The findings revealed that the COVID-19 pandemic had an impact on all six components of sexual function in women of reproductive age, including sexual desire, sexual stimulation, lubrication, pleasure, satisfaction and pain. The average overall sexual performance during the COVID-19 period (2.01±1.25) and in the post-COVID-19 period (2.94±1.2) was lower than the cutoff point (3.8), indicating poor performance across the entire scale of sexual function. The results showed that there is an inverse and significant (P<0.05) relationship between age, duration of marriage and number of pregnancies with sexual function index and its subscales.

The study findings suggest that research population experienced weaker sexual performance during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the post-pandemic period, highlighting the impact of the mental and physical burdens associated with the pandemic on sexual function.

With the spread of coronavirus and causing a global pandemic within a short period, various topics were raised about vaccination as one of the ways to prevent it. One of these topics was the requirement for vaccination, which has resulted in many Islamic jurisprudential, legal, and ethical discussions. This paper aims to examine this issue in the scope of Shia jurisprudence principles.

The present study aimed to describe and analyze the views and the evidence and the technique of collecting information is library research.

 The rules against requirement for vaccination include the rules of reluctance, the obligation to avoid possible harm, caution, respect, the negation of hardship and embarrassment, the sovereignty and the principle of non-wilaya, and the rules in favor of the requirement for vaccination, including the principle of public interest, the obligation to avoid possible harm, the principle of the priority of the right to life, and the rule of maintaining the universal system and preventing its disruption.

The arguments in favor of mandatory vaccination considerations are more reasonable and stronger and have a more comprehensive view of the problem, and there is also no legal or religious obstacle.

Resilience is a concept presented in the context of positive psychology and has a special place, especially in the fields of developmental psychology, family psychology, and mental health. This study aimed to predict resilience based on self-esteem, self-compassion, and mindfulness in the conditions of public quarantine of Coronavirus. In this descriptive-correlational study, 174 individuals who entered the psychological services clinic in Qazvin from October to February 2020, simultaneously with the third wave of Coronavirus outbreak and mandatory quarantine declaration, were selected by purposeful sampling. After obtaining informed consent, the scales of resilience, self-esteem, self-compassion, and mindfulness were used to collect information. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multivariate regression. There was a significant positive relationship between resilience and self-compassion, mindfulness, and self-esteem (F=139.24, p<0.01). The results of multivariate regression analysis indicated that variables of self-esteem and self-compassion could predict resilience with β=0.37 and β=0.59, respectively (p<0.01); and mindfulness could not predict resilience (p>0.05). The results showed that self-esteem and self-compassion were associated with resilience in quarantined individuals; and mindfulness was not related to resilience. Therefore, in order to increase the resilience of the society in the post-Corona conditions and similar critical conditions such as communicable diseases or natural disasters, teachings related to self-compassion and self-esteem can be helpful.

according to the consequences of the covid-19 in the regulation of emotions and the quality of life of people in the community and the importance of stress management, the present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of stress management treatment on the regulation of emotions and the quality of life of corona patients.

This was a semi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group and a follow-up period. The research population included all patients with covid-19 disease who referred to Tabriz specialized and sub-specialized recovery hospital in the fall of 2022, and the target sample included 30 people who recovered from corona, who were selected by available sampling method and randomly divided into two control groups and Tests were assigned. The experimental group received 8 90-minute sessions of stress management training for two months, and the control group did not receive training during this period and remained on the waiting list for training. The research tools include the Gross Emotional Regulation Gross & John (2003) and the quality of life of the World Health Organization (2000). Data analysis was done with SPSS software version 24 and variance analysis test with repeated measurements between groups.

The results showed that there was a difference between the two experimental and control groups in the post-test of emotion regulation variables (p>0.001) and quality of life components (p>0.001), and the results were stable during the follow-up period (0.001 >p).

The results showed that stress management treatment was effective in improving emotional regulation and quality of life of patients with covid-19, therefore, health professionals can use the stress management training method along with other effective methods to improve the psychological characteristics related to covid-19.

After the outbreak of the Coronavirus and the epidemic of its attributed disease worldwide, many scientists decided to use new strategies to diagnose, prevent and treat the coronavirus-caused disease. Nanotechnology, with a wide range of applications in various sciences, including medicine, helps to progress and solve many of its problems. Nanosystems with unique features have a special place in drug delivery and biomolecule transport. They can transfer antiviral and other drugs that face the coronavirus through different mechanisms in the blood plasma and between cells. Likewise, viral components and antibodies against them are moved between cellular and subcellular boundaries by some of these systems.

This study investigated the application of nanosystems in targeted drug delivery, vaccination, and diagnosis of corona disease.

Nurses are the first group in the front line of facing the covid-19 pandemic, so conducting psychotherapy interventions in this occupational group can be useful. For this purpose, the present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy in resilience and mental health of nurses working in corona wards of Qazvin social security hospital in 2023.

The present study was a semi-experimental pre-test-post-test type with a control group and a follow-up period. The current research population included all the nurses working in the corona department of Qazvin social security hospital (168 people) in the first six months of 2023. 30 nurses from the target community were selected by available sampling method and were randomly assigned to two control and experimental groups. The data collection tools included Connor and Davidson (2003) resilience questionnaires and Rovan Goldberg (1972) questionnaires. The experimental group participated in 8 group therapy sessions based on the acceptance and commitment program, while the control group did not receive any intervention. In order to analyze the data, SPSS version 22 software and the analysis of variance test with repeated measurements between groups were used, observing the statistical assumptions.

The results showed that therapy training based on acceptance and commitment significantly increased the resilience and mental health of the experimental group compared to the control group. And these results have been continued during the follow-up period (P<0/05).

Improving skills using acceptance and commitment training can be considered as an effective method to increase the resilience and mental health of nurses.

In addition to physical problems, attention should also be paid to the psychological problems of corona patients. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) and short-term solution-focused therapy (SSFT) on resilience of people who survived from corona.

The method of this study was semi-experimental with pre-test, post-test and follow up with the control group. The statistical population was made up of women who survived from corona virus in Tabriz City in 2022. In total, 45 patients were selected by purposive sampling method, who were randomly divided into three groups (Each group 15 people). Members of both experimental groups received their treatment, respectively, in 8 and 6 sessions of 1.5 hours; however, the control group did not receive any treatment. The measurement tool was Connor and Davidson's resilience questionnaire. Analysis of findings was done through repeated measures analysis of variance & Bonferroni post hoc test.

In the pre-test, the mean and standard deviation of the resilience variable in the MBCT group, SSFT group and the control were 42.80±4.69, 42.13±4.45, and 43.60±4.62 respectively (p>0.05). Both treatments compared to the control group, increased resilience in patient after the test (p<0.001).  In the follow-up phase, the effect of these two treatments resilience was lasting (p<0.001). The effect of these two treatments on resilience at posttest and follow-up was not different (p>0.05).

It seems that MBCT and SSFT can increase the resilience of people who have survived from corona virus; so they can probably be a useful therapeutic strategy to improve the mental state of these people.

With the epidemic of coronavirus, based on the content of some hadiths, including the famous hadith "La'Adwi", and combining and comparing it with some teachings of traditional medicine, some appearanceists declared that all diseases are non-contagion. This attitude was in opposition to modern medicine and in denial of the spread of infectious diseases, which resulted in non-observance of health issues and consequently led to the spread of the disease, increase in the costs of the health sector, and the negative view of researchers towards Islamic teachings.

The current research was carried out using reliable library sources, related articles, and the content analysis method. This inferential study aimed to investigate “disease transmission from the viewpoint of medical jurisprudence and hadith" and then adapt the findings to new medical results.

Findings of the present research revealed that the superficial attitude towards the hadiths and its teachings is harmful, and the attitude towards the hadiths in this matter, including the hadith of La'Adawi, is controversial from the point of view of many scholars. Moreover, some of its narrators are unreliable and the fact that the source of this hadith is the Prophet of Islam is questionable. In terms of implication, in addition to its conflict with the facts of human experience in the medical field, there are many analyzes for it. Assuming the acceptance of the negation of the spread of the disease in this hadith, it should be said that only the transmission of a specific infectious disease such as "Scabies" in animals that was the subject of question in the hadith was denied.

By taking into account the problems of authenticity, reliability, and the implication of the hadith concerning the non-transmission of the disease, as well as definivity of some hadiths regarding the possibility, existence, and spread of the disease, taking health care measures, quarantine, avoiding the disease, and observing social distancing during the disease outbreak is a rational, legitimate, and bligatory decision to make.
