Background
Research suggests that self-compassion is important for understanding different life outcomes. This study explored how certain demographic factors and self-compassion affect the positive mental health of married Hindu couples.
MethodsUtilizing a correlational design, 300 married Hindu couples (age range=26-50 years, Mean±SD, 38.42±7.89) from Sagar City, Madhya Pradesh, India, were recruited through snowball sampling, in which existing participants provided referrals to other potential participants. The self-compassion scale, the socioeconomic status scale and the mental health continuum-short form were used as study measures. Mean±SD, correlation and regression analysis were computed. The significance level was ≤0.05.
ResultsThe results revealed that age (r=0.188, P=0.01) marriage length (r=0.110, P=0.01), self-kindness (r=0.332, P=0.01), common humanity (r=0.284, P=0.01), and mindfulness (r=0.250, P=0.01) were positively correlated with well-being. Conversely, self-judgment (r=-0.099, P=NS), isolation (r=0.019, P=NS) and over-identification (r=0.005, P=NS) displayed weak or negative correlations. Demographic factors (education, gender, age, domicile, occupation and marriage length) (R2=12.6%, P<0.001) and self-compassion (R2=24.80%, P<0.001) significantly predicted well-being.
ConclusionThe findings provide significant insights into the positive role of self-compassion and demographic factors in the well-being of married Hindu couples. Future research could examine the role of self-compassion interventions in different cultural contexts and examine long-term well-being outcomes.

BackgroundThe relationship between mitral valve area (MVA) and different hemodynamic and echocardiographic parameters is not well defined. This study aimed to assess whether hemodynamic and echocardiographic parameters correlated with MVA in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis.MethodsThis cross-sectional study assessed 600 patients with rheumatic heart disease who underwent transthoracic echocardiography in a tertiary care center between August 2018 and March 2020. Among them, 265 cases of predominant mitral stenosis were enrolled. Demographic data, as well as hemodynamic and echocardiographic variables, were recorded.ResultsOut of the 265 patients, 29.1% were males, and 71.9% were females at a mean age of 44.80±13.54 years. MVA ranged between 0.5 cm2 and 2.0 cm2, with a mean mitral valve gradient of 10.02±3.43 mm Hg. Atrial fibrillation was present in 44.2%. There were positive correlations between MVA and body mass index (r=0.19, P=0.002), systolic blood pressure (r=0.14, P=0.011), diastolic blood pressure (r=0.16, P=0.006), and mean blood pressure (r=0.18, P=0.003). Negative correlations were found between MVA and heart rate (r= −0.20, P=0.001), left atrial size (r= −0.16, P=0.007), mean mitral valve gradient (r= −0.67, P<0.001), and pulmonary artery systolic pressure (r= −0.17, P=0.004).ConclusionsMVA correlated significantly with body mass index, blood pressure, heart rate, left atrial size, mean mitral valve gradient, and pulmonary artery systolic pressure. This study helps to understand the influence of different clinical parameters and transthoracic echocardiographic findings to accurately assess rheumatic mitral stenosis severity.

پیش زمینه
وجود ارتباط بین بیماری دیابت ملیتوس و مشکلات سیستم عضلانی استخوانی در بسیاری از مطالعات پیشین اثبات شده است.هدف اصلی ما مطالعه شیوع بالا بودن قند خون (دیابت یا پره دیابت) در بیماران با شکایت درد شانه بوده و هم چنین پاسخ به این سوال است که آیا اندازه گیری سطح قند خون در این بیماران منطقی است؟
روشدر یک دوره یک ساله ازابتدای بهمن ماه 1398 تا ابتدای بهمن ماه 1399 بیماران مراجعه کننده به درمانگاه تخصصی شانه با شکایت درد شانه وارد این مطالعه مقطعی شدند.بیماران واجد شرایط بعد از اخذ رضایت آگاهانه مورد بررسی قرار گرفتند. یک چک لیست واخد شامل: داده های دموگرافیک ، سطح گلوکز ناشتای خون، تشخیص بیماری و اندکس توده بدنی (BMI) بودند.
یافته ها564 بیمار واجد شرایط وارد مطالعه شدند. از این 564 بیمار 106 بیمار (18.8%) مبتلا به دیابت بودند، 146 بیمار (25.9%) در مرحله پره دیابتی قرار داشتند و مابقی 312 بیمار(55.3%) قند خون طبیعی داشتند. درصد بالاتری از مردان در مقایسه با زنان قند خون بالا داشتند(54 درصد در مقابل 33.9 درصد). ارتباط معنی داری بین سطح گلوکز خون وپاتولوژی ایجاد کننده درد وجود نداشت(P = 0.191). .
نتیجه گیریشیوع بالاتر اختلال قند خون در بیماران با درد شانه لازمه مطالعات بیشتر در این زمینه و تعریف گسترده تری از فاکتورهای پیششگویی کننده دیابت دارد. این نکته به ویژه در کشور ما که غربالکری فند خون به صورت روتین انجام نمی شود حایز اهمیت است.

There are reports of high prevalence (up to 63%) of upper extremity impairment in diabetic patients. The main aim was to conduct a study to determine the prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes in patients with shoulder complaints. It may help the treating physician in managing patients with shoulder problems.
MethodsDuring a period of six months from February 2018 to August 2018, patients who consulted shoulder clinic with complain of shoulder pain were included in this cross sectional study. Eligible patients were enrolled after informed consent was obtained. A uniform checklist was completed for every patient. The key components of the checklist were: demographic data, fasting blood glucose(FBS), diagnosis, body mass index( BMI).Diagnosis of diabetes and prediabetes was done by FBS level( FBS between 100 to 126 considered prediabetes and more than 126 as diabetes.
Results564 eligible patients were enrolled in the study. Of the 564 patients, 18.8% had DM, 25.9% had pre-diabetes, and 55.3% had normal fasting blood glucose. A higher proportion of men had abnormal fasting glucose compared to women (54% and 33.9% respectively). There was no significant difference in blood glucose levels in respect to different shoulder pathologies (P = 0.191).
ConclusionThis study shows that population with shoulder complaint have a higher prevalence of DM than the normal population. This high proportion of patients with impaired blood glucose levels and shoulder pain necessitates further research in this course and advancement towards risk factors of DM. It is more important in community areas where routine screening of diabetes is not performed.

Aims
COVID-19 and Helicobacter pylori are pathogens associated with the most common viral and bacterial infections globally. The coinfection of pathogenic bacteria and COVID-19 represented a true health challenge. The current study aimed to estimate the incidence of H. pylori in patients with COVID-19.
Materials & MethodsThis experimental study was conducted in Karbalaa's COVID-19 Isolation Center from Feb. 2021 to July 2021, 130 COVID-19 patients were entered the study. A control group of 130 seemingly healthy people of similar ages and sexes was also enlisted in this research. COVID-19-infected patients were confirmed by Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction device. The samples were processed for total WBCs, and neutrophils were automatically computed. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21 software by independent T and Chi-square tests.
FindingsCOVID-19 infection was more frequent in males than females, especially between 15 and 25 years. The COVID-19 patients were detected to have increased neutrophils count (p<0.0001) and decreased lymphocytes compared to the healthy persons (p<0.0001). A significant correlation between H. pylori and COVID-19 was discovered, especially in females.
ConclusionH. pylori-infected patients are more susceptible to COVID-19 than other persons without H. pylori infections.

همبستگی میان ویژگیهای رفتاری در نتاج موشهای صحرایی دارای والدین معتاد به مورفینCorrelation among the Behavioral Features in the Offspring of Morphine-Abstinent RatsBackground
Critical analysis of new evidence in medical sciences relies on statistics in terms of correlation. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the correlation coefficients among the behavioral features in the offspring of morphine-abstinent parent(s).
MethodsThe offspring of various types of parental morphine-exposure were divided into 4 groups including offspring of healthy parents (CTL), offspring of paternal morphine-abstinence (PMA), offspring of maternal morphine-abstinence (MMA), and offspring of both morphine-abstinence (BMA). Pain perception, depression-like behavior, and avoidance memory in the offspring were quantified. The logical structure of association was measured using the Pearson correlation analysis.
FindingsA strong correlation was observed between pain and depressive-like behavior in female and male offspring of healthy parents. Moreover, in the male and female offspring of healthy parents and BMA, no significant correlation was observed between avoidance memory and pain behavior or depressive-like behavior. However, in the offspring of MMA, a strong correlation was observed between avoidance memory and depressive-like behavior.
ConclusionThe results of the study signified the importance of correlation analysis in addictive behavior. The results revealed that the pattern of correlation of the behavior of the offspring of MMA and PMA differed

BackgroundThe current study’s objectives were to find any possible spatial patterns and hotspot of cardiovascular events and to perform a correlation study to find any possible relevance between cardiovascular disease (CVE) and location of industrial installation said above.MethodsWe used the Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) hospital admission record in three main hospitals in Yazd, Yazd Province, Iran during 2013, because of CVDs and searched for possible correlation between industries as point-source pollutants and non-random distribution of AMI events.ResultsMI incidence rate in Yazd was obtained 531 per 100,000 person-year among men, 458 per 100,000 person-year among women and 783/100,000 person-yr totally. We applied a GIS Hotspot analysis to determine feasible clusters and two sets of clusters were observed. Mean age of 56 AMI events occurred in the cluster cells was calculated as 62.21 15A±"> 14.75 yr. Age and sex as main confounders of AMI were evaluated in the cluster areas in comparison to other areas. We observed no significant difference regarding sex (59% in cluster cells versus 55% in total for men) and age (62.21 15A±"> 14.7 in cluster cells versus 63.28 15A± "> 13.98 in total for men).ConclusionWe found proximity of AMI events cluster to industries installations, and a steel industry, specifically. There could be an association between road-related pollutants and the observed sets of cluster due to the proximity exist between rather crowded highways nearby the events cluster.Keywords: Correlation study, Geographical Information System, Cardiac events, Industries, Hotspot

ObjectiveDental arch form is one of the most important characteristics of dentition. However, this dimension usually receives less attention in diagnosis or treatment planning and orthodontic patients are traditionally classified with regard to their sagittal characteristics. The objectives of this study were to investigate if a relationship exists between the dental arch width (transverse dimension) and sagittal skeletal and dental parameters in orthodontic patients.Materials And MethodsDental casts and lateral cephalograms of 108 consecutive untreated Iranian patients (47 males and 61 females) between 16 and 31 years of age were evaluated. Arch width (AW) parameters including upper and lower inter-molar width (UIMW and LIMW) and upper and lower inter-canine width (UICW and LICW) were measured by a digital caliper. Sagittal parameters included SNA and SNB angle and Wits’ appraisal obtained from lateral cephalograms in addition to upper and lower arch length (UAL and LAL) obtained from dental casts. The correlation between the aforementioned parameters was evaluated applying Pearson correlation coefficients. Molar and canine relationship according to Angle’s classification was also recorded and the means of all parameters were compared between three occlusal relationship classes and two gender groups by means of two-way ANOVA.ResultsAccording to statistical analysis a significant positive correlation between sagittal parameters and arch width measures exists between SNA and UICW and between LICW and LAL. Upper and lower ICW were significantly correlated, the relationship between upper and lower IMW and between UAL and LAL were significant. Among sagittal measures, both UAL and LAL were correlated with the ANB angle. The means of arch width parameters in three occlusal classes were not significantly different.ConclusionThe only significant correlation between arch width and sagittal parameters existed between UICW and SNA angle and between LICW and LAL. No significant difference of the arch width parameter was observed between the three occlusal classes.Keywords: Dental Arch, Morphology, Correlation Study

زمینه و اهدافسندرم تونل کارپ (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome، CTS) شایع ترین نوروپاتی گیرافتادگی عصب محیطی در اندام فوقانی است که بوسیله معاینات ذهنی، فیزیکی و الکتروفیزیولوژی ارزیابی می شود. هدف این مطالعه بررسی روابط بین مقیاس های فوق در بیمارن CTS است.مواد و روش ها25 بیمار مبتلا به CTS (مجموعا 40 دست مبتلا) با شدت گرفتاری خفیف تا متوسط انتخاب شدند. ملاک های مختلف ارزیابی CTS شامل معاینه ذهنی (مقیاس شدت سمپتوم ها، مقیاس وضعیت عملکردی و مقیاس بصری درد)، تست های فیزیکی (علامت فالن و آزمون تانسیون عصب مدین) و بررسی های هدایت عصبی (زمان تاخیری هدایت دیستال حسی و حرکتی عصب مدین) از بیماران ثبت شد. آمار توصیفی و همبستگی بین متغیرهای مختلف مورد تجزیه و تحلیل قرار گرفت.یافته هادر بین ملاک های مختلف ارزیابی CTS، بالاترین میزان همبستگی بین مقیاس های ذهنی وجود داشت؛ در حالیکه بین یافته های الکتروفیزیولوژی با یکدیگر همبستگی پایین و بین مقیاس های ذهنی و آزمون تانسیون عصب مدین همبستگی پایین تا متوسط یافت شد. بین مقیاس های ذهنی و یافته های الکتروفیزیولوژی و نیز بین آزمون تانسیون عصب مدین و یافته های الکتروفیزیولوژی همبستگی معنی داری مشاهده نشد.نتیجه گیریهر یک از ملاک های مختلف ارزیابی بیماران CTS ارزش خاص خود را داشته و جنبه متفاوتی از بیماری را ارزیابی می کنند، فلذا بهبودی در ملاکهای ارزیابی ذهنی و یا تست های فیزیکی لزوما بر بهبودی الکتروفیزیولوژی (شاخص های هدایت عصبی) دلالت نداشته و نمی توانند به جای یکدیگر مورد استفاده قرار گیرند.
کلید واژگان: سندرم تونل کارپ, عصب مدین, یافته های الکتروفیزیولوژی, مطالعه همبستگیBackground And ObjectivesCarpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy in upper extremity in which the median nerve is compressed in the wrist and assessed based on subjective، physical، and electrophysiological findings. The objective of this study was to determine the correlation among subjective، physical examination، and electrophysiological studies.Materials And MethodsTwenty five patients with CTS (totally 40 hands) from mild to moderate severity were recruited. Subjective (symptom severity scale، functional status scale، and visual analog scale)، physical examination (Phalen’s test and median nerve tension test)، and electrophysiological (median nerve distal sensory and motor latency) studies were performed for all subjects.ResultsHigher intra-correlation was found among subjective findings than electrophysiological parameters. The inter-correlation between subjective and median nerve tension test ranged from low to moderate. Also، a low intra-correlation was found between electrophysiological findings. Furthermore، there was no significant correlation between the subjective and electrophysiological studies. Similar result was found between the median nerve tension test and the electrophysiological studies.ConclusionEach aspect of the examination of the patients with CTS provides specific information of the diseases and cannot be replaced by one another. Therefore، it appears that any improvement in subjective and/or physical findings does not necessarily lead to an improvement in electrophysiological studies in median nerve in patients with CTS.Keywords: Carpal tunnel syndrome, Median nerve, Electrophysiological studies, Correlation study
