According to the official statistics, a high rate of road traffic deaths occurs during the transportation of the injured and in medical centers. The way of transporting the injured to the medical centers, the standard time of dispatch and timely treatment in the hospitals, the land use planning of medical centers and rehabilitation are the three missing links of the post-event phase. Therefore, the researchers aimed to assess the effect of rescue and relief services on the severity of traffic accidents in this study.

This applied research was conducted based on an exploratory mixed method. The statistical population in the qualitative section included Amin Police Academy professors, experts of both Red Crescent Society (RCS) of Tehran province and Tehran Emergency Medical Service (EMS), who were selected via purposive sampling method. In the qualitative section, the theme analysis method was used and analyzed by using Maxqda-2020 software. The statistical population of the quantitative part included excellent accident experts of 28 districts of Tehran and experts of the RCS and EMS of Tehran province in a stratified random method. In the following, confirmatory factor analysis using structural equation modeling method was used and analyzed with SmartPLS3 software.

The dimensions of the impact of rescue and relief services on the severity of traffic accidents from the perspective of Red Crescent Society and Emergency Medical Services experts included equipment (31.077), land use planning (25.610), expertise (23.598), and education (8.243). The most marked impact was related to equipment, and the least impact pertained to education. Furthermore, the dimensions of the effect of rescue and relief services on the severity of traffic accidents from the perspective of accident experts included equipment (42.009), land use planning (34.419), education (33.770), and expertise (8.951). The greatest impact was related to equipment, and the least effect pertained to expertise. In addition, the factor loadings of all dimensions were more than 0.5 being significant at the 0.95 level.

Strengthening and developing equipment, land use planning balanced with the geography of missions, and continuous specialized training of rescue and relief of RCS and EMS experts will positively reduce the severity of traffic accidents in the country.

Preparation for dealing with human crises has various aspects and one of the most important of which is the readiness to face military crises. Having a fast rescue boat can be very important and decisive. There is always the concern that if a relief vessel is to be purchased, what characteristics should it have to be able to keep up with the combat and to be properly present in unexpected maritime accidents.

In today’s asymmetric wars, it is very important to have comprehensive information about the aid vessels available in the country. This study aimed to compare the existing relief vessels in the country according to the climatic conditions of the Persian Gulf and naval missions.

Library information and the following databases includingSID, Google Scholar, Iran Medex, PubMed, and Web of Sciences were searched using the keywords including “rescue”, “naval ambulance”, and “emergency”, and “equivalent”. Their English Relief and Rescue, Marine ambulance Emergency, was performed between 2010 and 2020.

The results showed that the lifeboat has more facilities in terms of features such as safety and crew comfort than the 115th floating ambulance and rescue ambulance.

Considering the possibility of military clashes on the waterways of the Persian Gulf, due to the special situation of the region, in most cases, military and law enforcement forces are sent to the crisis point. In this regard, none of these relief media will be carried out unless a proper and efficient relief and transfer chain is established, which will be the first equipment loop of this route, standard, specialized, and fast relief vessels. In the field of relief equipment in the field of naval health, it is recommended to provide a suitable “naval ambulance” in line with the war.

The Red Lion and Sun played an important role in treating diseases by establishing health centers. The Red Lion and Sun population was the first and largest charitable society in Iran, Which was responsible for many important tasks in matters related to relief in fortuitous and relief events, establishing hospitals and clinics, providing medicine and medical equipment, training nurses, caring for orphans, providing special programs for young people and some developmental activities inside and outside the country. One of the most important and first activities of the Red Lion and Sun in the first and second Pahlavi period was the construction and operation of medical centers and hospitals in different cities and towns. These measures did not follow a specific policy, and with the establishment of the Lion and Sun Society in the provincial capitals, the construction of the hospital began with the help of urban nobles, business people and charities.

Using the descriptive-analytical method and using historical and archival sources, this research seeks to find the answer to the role of the lion and the sun in establishing modern medical and health centers in the first Pahlavi period.

Red Lion and Sun population by creating mobile medical teams and complete equipment in all accidents and land and celestial disasters (earthquake-flood) with very valuable and important helps, It saved the lives of thousands of our compatriots from immediate danger, death and misery.

 It seems that the Red Lion and Sun Society helped prevent the spread of diseases by setting up medical and health centers and paving the way for the establishment of hospitals and medical centers by setting up the Lion and Sun centers.

In crises and accidents, sometimes due to various reasons, such as road destruction, road and street traffic, crowded roads, lack or absence of fuel and the impossibility of vehicle traffic, medical staff cannot travel to the scene or crisis point with conventional vehicles. They have to use special vehicles, one of which can be a bicycle. In the present study, for the first time in Iran, a bicycle ambulance is designed.

The present applied study was conducted in 2016, in Marine Medicine Research Center, Tehran, Iran. The experiences of the research team of the Marine Medicine Research Center and the expert panel opinions were used to collect data. In choosing the right bike, strength, lightness, reasonable price, good maneuverability, ease of use and domestic production were taken into account. Then, the portable medical contents in the back and front pouches of the bicycle, the size and material of the pouches, the package and the relief bags for installation in the bicycle pouches were determined in the expert panels.

Bicycles made in Iran were selected from light and strong aluminum furnaces with soft auxiliaries and a smooth and suitable gear system. Two bags on the front of the bike were chosen to accommodate light but bulky medical equipment. Equipment such as ambobags, splints, catheter tubes and serum were placed in these two bags. The larger back bag contained small examination, sutures, dressings, catheters, injections and serum therapy bags as well as medications. Also, communication equipment was placed in the back bag.

In the present study, as a pilot, an Iranian bicycle ambulance was designed to provide assistance to patients and injured people at maritime bases, piers and islands, as well as critical situations. In this study, both the selection of bicycles and medical equipment and how to install them were considered.

Nurses are the biggest groups that provide relief and transport services in critical conditions and battlefields. Although many studies are published regarding the role of nurses in war the number of qualitative researches in this field is limited. This study was conducted to identify the role of nurses in the relief and transportation of injured victims on the battlefield.

This qualitative conventional content analysis was done in 2018. Using purposive sampling, 26 nurses with a recent history of participation in military missions were invited to include in the study. Data collection was carried out using in-depth semi-structured interviews. All data is recorded and typed in MAXQDA software, then analyses included 8 steps: transcription the interviews; identifying semantic units; coding; revising codes with text; classifying and developing categories; reviewing categories; identifying themes; and reporting the findings.

In conclusion, 212 codes and 23 subcategories and seven categories were extracted from data analysis. Also three main themes including the "Life savior in relief and transmission", "Management and leadership of relief and transportation" and "Unorganized relief and transportation" were emerged. The main categories were: management skills in relief and transportation, human resources development, savior characteristics and capabilities, knowledge and skills of a savior, unorganized transfer, unorganized saving interventions, and unorganized management.

The findings of this study showed that relief and transportation on the battlefield were fit to the needs of the war. Applying nurses' experiences in this field can create an integrated relevant resource for relief and transportation services and improving combat power.

The Fatah al-Mobin battle, which began on the morning of Monday, April 2, 1982 (2 Farvardin 1362 ASH) is considered a turning point in the combat medicine. Following the experience of Connex Hospital in Fatah- Bostan, the first field hospital system was used in this operation and gave considerable medical, relief and health services. This field hospital was a combination of several boxes and tents,

This article is a review study and in addition to the oral history interview, valid sources have been used in compiling it.

In this battle, for the first time during the imposed war, a field hospital equipped with an operating room was used. Nearly 200 operating beds, with necessary equipment and supplies were used. The general capacity of the region's hospitals was also used. More than 200 physicians 1,000 nurses, and 2,000 paramedics of volunteered health personnel participated in rescue and treatment of causalities. Small vehicles (ambulances and light cars), minibuses, buses), as well as air relief (airborne helicopters and military aircraft), were widely used to transport the wounded at various levels.

The combat medicine arrangement of Fatah al-Mobin, started from the front line with the presence of rescuers, and the relief and transfer chain started from there. The causalities and wounded were taken to line emergency centers, after initial treatment and vital resuscitation under enemy fire. After necessary treatment and stabilization, there were evacuated to the hospital centers in the region. The massive combat medical operation in Fath al-Mobin is a great experience in the history of the country's health, as well as, in the history of combat medicine. The experiences gained, were used during the Holy Defense and constantly maintained their evolutionary process.

This period is referred to as medieval medicine in the United States. Surgeons and other caregivers faced large numbers of causalities and worked consecutive hours (often between 48 and 72 hours) without the opportunity to sleep.

The paper is a review article, which has been compiled, using resources published in existing literature, including in scientific databases available in cyberspace.

Many casualties and deaths in the American Civil War were caused by non-combat diseases. For every three soldiers killed in battle, five more died of disease. The reported statistics of this terrible war, do not include the psychological disorders. At the time, post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD), were not known and were not classified as war complications. Military medicine was very primitive and backward, AND intellectual skilled infrastructure of the rescuers and therapists and other experiences of military medicine, were very weak and rudimentary. For this reason, many war wounds and diseases were catastrophically and unnecessarily deadly. It was one of the bloodiest wars in American history and took place in 10,000 different locations, during which at least 2% of the American population of the time (620,000 people) were killed and countless others were mutilated. Initially, temporary field hospital centers were built near the battlefields, before the start of the war. Until 1862, ambulances were not used to transport the wounded. Towards the end of war, wounded were transported by train or ship to large urban hospitals. These hospitals were not existed before, and their construction began at 1862. By the end of war, about 400 hospitals, with 400,000 beds, had been built. Soldiers were used to transport the wounded. The number of injured in these hospitals reached two million, and the overall death rate was 8%.  3 out of 4 operations in this war, were amputations. Mortality in violent acts of amputation was 26.3%. Despite the terrible conditions of beginning and middle of the war, some important medical advances such as quinine prescribing to prevent malaria, bromine using and isolation to treat gangrene, development of ambulance, train and boat transportation system, use of antiseptics, vascular ligation technique and construction of large urban public hospitals are some of the achievements of the military medicine in this war.

From all the information published about the American Civil War, it appears that the process of rescuing and treating the wounded in the battlefield, due to shortage of the technical facilities and medical equipments of that time, had major shortcomings and deficiencies. However, the prevalence of various diseases and deaths after surgery of injured is considered still significantly high.

Famous Crusade's conflicts, flames in the eleventh century, due to the Muslim-Christian differences over Possession of the Beit-al-moghaddas (Jerusalem), and continues to the fourteenth century, when it reflowed with the victory of the Muslims. The root for these wars, included the religious discrepancies, tempting motives of the eastern world, celebrity, majestic and economic prosperity and tourism of the major cities of the Orient. Historically, these devastating wars occurred, when the Muslim world suffered from internal disputes and the plurality of power centers. In the same time, the Christian world, was involved by the disparity of the Latin Church with the Orthodox Church, and the deep divisions and insecurity. From the relief point of view, these distressing wars were the scene of killing of a large number of Muslims and Christians, and injuries and disabilities of numerous others, too. Trauma management and other relief aspects of the wounded and the humanitarian services to the affected parties, as well as people of war zones have been discussed in this survey.

Solving problem is a feature that everybody needs in her/his personal and occupational life. One of the areas that its employees are in conflict with complicated problems and working to these areas require appropriate strategies for solving problem is Crisis and Relief and Rescue management and consequently relevant academic disciplines such as Relief and Rescue and Disaster Relief. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence and endurance with strategies of undergraduate students’ problem solving in Relief and Rescue in the Red Crescent of Tehran Province who are current or future crisis and rescue workers.
This study was from correlation in terms of purpose, function and descriptive method. The statistical population consisted of undergraduate students of Relief and Rescue in the Red Crescent of Tehran Province and the volume number of sample was 88 according to the Cochran formula that responded to three questionnaires consist of Connor and Davidson (2003), Bradbury and Garyves (2005) and Cassidy and lung (1996). Regression analysis was used to analyze the data.
Findings: The findings showed that the level of emotional intelligence, endurance and strategies of undergraduate students’ problem solving who were under research is at the desired level and above average. Also the relationship between these variables was statistically significant (p Based on the research results, it is recommended to maintain and also all-out efforts of the Red Crescent educational centers and other organizations related to Crisis management.

There is a need for rapid response centers in unexpected disasters with balanced and equitable access to assess and to locate the optimal fixed and mobile stations of relief and rescue in Guilan province due to the extensive forest resources and abundant rainfall that sometimes leads to flood and wildfires, road accidents and earthquakes in one hand; and tourist attraction, high population density and dispersion of rural areas in Guilan province in other hand.
In this study, mixed methods research was used, quantitative method (AHP) and qualitative method for collecting data. Data collected with Interviewing experts and specialists, reviewing the records and previous documents by using the questionnaire. All experts and specialist in this field were studied as well as rural areas zoning of Guilan province (2935 villages). The non-probability purposive sampling method was used. The content validity was evaluated by Lavosh formula (0.86) and reliability by Cronbach's alpha method (0.88). For data analysis, expert choice and GIS software have been used.
Findings: Based on the output of the used models, 49 points were proposed for fixed stations and 34 points for establishment of mobile stations. Also, equipment needed for each station and the radius of its useful range were calculated based on the maximum response time to the incident.
According to the results, distribution of relief and rescue centers has not been done optimal with balanced access especially in rural areas. Therefore, fixed stations were suggested in villages with high risk aversion, and radius of their useful range was determined based on considerations of population density, activity and quality of the main routes. The considerable part of the initial risk areas, were not covered by functional stationary stations due to the lack of requirements for the fixed station construction. Therefore, in order to reduce the vacancy, it is predicted to create mobile and temporary station in some parts.

Several options are described to treat keloid scars, none of them being 100% successful. Radiotherapy is suggested to have the most significant effect on recurrence rate. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of High-dose brachytherapy combined with surgery and to evaluate patient satisfaction.
Methods and Material: We retrospectively enrolled 5 patients with 10 keloids, treated by surgical excision and high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy. Total dose was 12 Gy in 3 fractions.
The median size of the lesions before brachytherapy was 153.48 mm2. The improvement of scars of scoring POSAS by observer and patient were 17.1±3.2 (11-32) and 20.8±11.5 (5-51), respectively. Mean of recurrent time was 26.3±0.9 months. With a median follow-up of 60 months, the overall recurrence-free response rate for all keloids was 20%. Except for one patient, in other patients seen no complications.
It seems that keloid excision followed by HDR brachytherapy is effective in the eradication of keloids in treatment. It also resulted in a good cosmetic rate and relief of symptoms.

Children with thalassemia need blood transfusion to survive. The intravenous cannulation is a requirement for blood transfusion, which is a painful and frightening procedure and can cause severe anxity. Repeated exposure to severe anxiety have a meaningful relationship with psychological problems in children. Multiple methods introduced or under research to reduce anxiety in children during medical procedure especially intravenous cannulation. The aim of current study is to compare the effect of vapocoolant spray and EMLA cream in reduction of anxiety due to intravenous cannulation.
This was a controlled randomized clinical trial with crossover design. A convenience sample of 40 children between the ages of 6 and 12 years was enrolled between June and November 2015 in Ali Asghar hospital, Tehran, Iran. After the baseline measurement of anxiety samples were randomly allocated in one of two intervention groups by block randomization. The first group received EMLA cream before intravenous cannulation in the next blood transfusion and vapocoolant spray in the third one. The second group has the opposite arrangement. The anxiety was measured by a self-reported visual analogue scale. Anxiety was measured before and after each cannulation. The data was analyzed using independent t-test, paired t-test, Pearson correlation, ANOVA and ANCOVA tests by SPSS 16.
The results showed that the difference between EMLA cream and vapocoolant spray in reduction of anxiety was 1.94. The same difference between spray and baseline was 2.91. The differences in baseline measurement was 4.86.The vapocoolant spray had a lower effect in reduction of anxiety in compare of EMLA cream (p Based on the results of current study, vapocoolant spray can reduce the anxiety of children with thalassemia during intravenous cannulation. Despite the lower effect of spray in compare to EMLA cream, it can use for patients with allergic reaction to lidocaine/procaine or in emergency situations.
