While there are numerous advantages to using cyberspace for students' learning, it also increases the likelihood of unethical behavior. Therefore, this qualitative study aimed to identify and analyze ethical faults in cyberspace at Jahrom University of Medical Sciences.

This study was conducted at Jahrom University of Medical Sciences over a five-year period using a qualitative approach with thematic analysis. The population included 467 students, who were divided into ten groups and had taken a medical etiquette course. The students were asked to draw their desired factors in a visual art format as tree branches while working in teams to express ethical faults and issues in cyberspace. A total of 9 focus groups and 23 teamwork documents were analyzed, and groups with comprehensive analysis of the issue were selected by purposive sampling and focus groups interview to continue until data saturation was achieved. Braun & Clark's six-phase framework was used for thematic analysis in data analysis.

The findings of this study identified three major themes or factors related to cyberspace, including reasons, faults, and preventive solutions that had creator-dependent 27 factors (Sub-themes) and 160 codes. These themes revealed the major ethical concepts in cyberspace from the student's viewpoint.

As technology develops rapidly, it is crucial to ensure integrity in education for all stakeholders related to an online learning community. Therefore, educational institutions need to focus on preventing cyber faults by educating and training users.

The arts and humanities have been used more frequently in medical education over the last 30 years as a teaching modality. Arts-based teaching approaches have a significant impact on medical education. Today, the art and medical sciences have complimentary interactions with each other, as medical schools incorporate arts-based activities into their curricula. These techniques have a wide range of educational goals, from more practical applications like improving theoretical bases to encouraging contemplation on the nature of medicine and the experience of illness. However, there are many different methods to use art, from studying artworks in museums to having students create their own art.

The best ovarian stimulation protocol in the case of endometrioma-related infertility is still debated. In this study, we examined the effect of two ovarian stimulation protocols on in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcome in patients with good ovarian reserve suffering from endometrioma. In a retrospective study, 101 women with endometrioma and good ovarian reserve were recruited. Women received either gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists (n=65) or GnRH antagonists (n=36) in an IVF or ICSI cycle. Clinical and chemical pregnancy rate, live birth rate, implantation rate, fertilization rate and fertilization proportion, as well as miscarriage rate, were evaluated in both groups. Chemical (25% vs. 28.6%), clinical (19.6% vs. 25%), and live birth rates (19.6% vs. 25%) as well as implantation rate (11.7% vs. 15%) were not significantly different between the two groups. Miscarriage rate, fertilization rate and fertilization proportion were similar in the two groups. GnRH antagonist protocol with the main advantages of short duration and lower cost of treatment could be applied in infertile patients with endometrioma and good ovarian reserve.

So far, no independent study has been conducted on the beauty and aesthetic aspects of the Qur'an. Considering the gap in the theoretical foundations of the experimental researchers about the recitation of and listening to the Qur'anic verses, the present study attempted to present and introduce a particular method to be used in the interdisciplinary studies and experiments with a focus on the art and beauties of the Holy Qur'an.

The present study used a combination of content analysis and interpretation methods for analyzing some of the verses of chapter ‘Insan’ of the Qur'an. This study is library-based analytical. Accordingly, the required data were collected using different sources including books and articles and after aesthetic analysis and comparison of the similar texts, the textual and content beauty and delicacy was examined. Depending on the topic being discussed, the text-to-text or inter-textual method was used for data analysis and the expression and novelty techniques and oldand new discussions were also drawn on for analysis. In the present article, an attempt was made to show a small part of the structural and literal beauty of Chapter ‘Insan’ under three subcategories of ‘syntax, ‘eloquence’ and ‘geometry’. The authorsreported no conflict of interests in this study.

The results of analysis show that the modern experimental methods can be used for theoretical expansion of the central core of religion, i.e. the Holy Book and the Prophet’s tradition, in the framework of and using Islamic sciences to avoid the liberal and extremist approaches. By aesthetic examination of the Qur'an particularly its geometric beauties, the developmental trend of human being in different aspects including training, education, research and guidance can be understood based on the Qur'an.

Finally, by examining the aesthetic elements of the chapter ‘Insan’, the position of Islamic sciences in relation to art therapy was clarified.

The integration of art in the curriculum is essential for the development of children's creativity and prevents the lack of connection between mathematics and science with the real demands and needs of the world. As an art-centered integrated approach, STEAM can help teachers, students and employers meet this need. The present study was conducted to design a STEAM curriculum model for elementary schools in Iran. The research method used in this article is qualitative thematic analysis. The study population included all existing research on STEAM in databases of Amazon, ProQuest, UNESCO, Google Scholar, Eric, and Emerald from 2000 to 2020. Sampling was done purposefully or theoretically, i.e. through the conscious selection of specific individuals or elements for research by the researcher. Then, 200 articles and 10 books were selected as purposive samples.Content analysis covers a wide range of methods and techniques. The theme network, developed by Stride-Sterling in 2001, is used in theme analysis in this research. The theme network systematizes the basic themes, the organizing themes, and the pervasive themes, based on a specific process. STEAM curriculum design was inferred based on Drack interdisciplinary skills approach model, after content analysis. The analyzed curriculum elements include objectives, content, teaching methods, assessment, learning activities, time and space. Identifying the components of the STEAM-based curriculum based on the Drake interdisciplinary approach can be used by teachers and school principals to design teaching and write lesson plans, and to help foster creativity in students. To connect with the real world and the job market.

Artistic nursing care is defined as combining knowledge, skills, and judgment to provide the best care. Different studies have introduced different and even contradictory characteristics for this concept. Therefore, nurses are confused about it. This study aimed to clarify artistic nursing care.

Rodgers' evolutionary method was used to clarify the concept of artistic nursing care. This method included the initial phase, core analysis phase, and further analysis phase. Literature from 1990 to 2020 was sought using Springer, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, OVID, and SID databases. In general, 28 articles and two books were selected and analyzed.

The attributes of artistic nursing care included discovering a unique way to establish a happy and integrated relationship with the patient, paying intuition attention to the patient individuality to recognize all their needs, creating a positive image of the patient's condition, manifesting love in caring behaviors, and creating opportunities for a healing presence. The antecedents for artistic nursing care include having knowledge and experience, commitment to ethical principles, altruism, and active presence in the field of care. Artistic nursing care improves the patient's physical and mental health, increases the patient's sense of well-being and happiness, increases patient and nurse satisfaction.

In this study, the antecedents, attributes, and consequences of artistic nursing care are presented objectively and practically, which can be used to teach the methods of providing artistic nursing care and design tools for measuring this concept.

The effect of adding gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist on the luteal phase support in assisted reproductive technique (ART) cycles is controversial.

To determine the effects of adding multiple doses of GnRH agonist to the routine luteal phase support on ART cycle outcomes.

In this clinical trial study, 200 cases who underwent the antagonist protocol at the Research and Clinical Center for Infertility, Yazd, Iran, between January and March 2020 participated. From them, 168 cases had inclusion criteria and equally divided into 2 groups. After receiving progesterone in the luteal phase in both groups, while the case group received GnRH agonist subcutaneously (0/1 mg triptorelin) zero, three, and six days after the fresh embryo transfer, the control group did not receive anything. Finally, chemical and clinical pregnancy rates, number of mature oocytes, fertilization rate, total dose of gonadotropin, and the estradiol level were determined.

The baseline characteristics were similar in both groups. No significant difference was observed between embryo transfer cycles. Clinical results showed that the differences between the fertilization rate, chemical and clinical pregnancy were not significant.

The results showed that receiving multiple doses of GnRH agonist in the luteal phase of ART cycles neither improves embryo implantation nor the pregnancy rates; therefore, further studies are necessary.

 Various factors, like mental disorders, may affect the desire for medication and adherence in HIV/AIDS patients.

 The present study aimed to determine levels of neurotic disorders and associations of disorders level and HAART medication adherence in HIV/AIDS patients.
Patients and

 Finally, 150 patients of Behavioral Disease Counseling Center of Shiraz were selected by a convenience method and were evaluated by Symptom Checklist-25 (SCL-25) and Medication Adherence Questionnaire (MAQ).

 Seventy-eight percent of patients had normal mental health status. Also, 83% had very good medication adherence. Female gender, single or divorced, and working in temporary and low-income jobs were associated with decreased mental health status. Higher age and education were associated with increased adherence. Anxiety was the most common and effective disorder. Decreased mental health' status was shown to reduce drug adherence.

 Treatment of mental disorders, particularly anxiety, can be one of the most effective ways to increase drug compliance in HIV/AIDS patients.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of anovulatory infertility. Oxidative stress (OS), which plays an important role in determining the developmental competence of an oocyte, may be involved in understanding infertility and poor outcomes cycles in PCOS women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF).

To measure OS biomarkers in the follicular fluid of PCOS women undergoing IVF.

In this cross-sectional study, 100 women; with PCOS (n = 43) and tubal factor (n = 57) undergoing IVF, who were referred to a tertiary medical center between January 2016 and September 2017 were enrolled. OS markers like reactive oxygen species (ROS), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and 8-Isoprostane (8-IP) were tested in the follicular fluid and various IVF outcomes in the form of oocytes retrieved, fertilized, cleavage rate, grading of embryos and pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups.

The results indicated that the levels of ROS, TAC, and 8-IP were higher in the PCOS group compared to the tubal group (p = 0.21, p = 0.95, and p < 0.05, respectively). Biomarkers based on the number of retrieved oocytes, cleavage rate, and grades of embryos did not differ significantly in the two groups. The median ROS, TAC, and 8-IP were not significantly different in the two groups in relation to the pregnancies, although the 8-IP levels were significantly raised in the PCOS women who had a miscarriage (p = 0.02).

This study concluded the possible role of OS in PCOS women with increased higher level of 8-IP biomarker as a potential biomarker that needs further evaluation.

Downscale outcome in assisted reproductive techniques (ART) is associated with lipid peroxidation. Melatonin may have beneficial effects against lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress. This work was aimed to evaluate the ameliorative capacity of melatonin versus the passage of time and lipid peroxidation on sperm parameters from the men with ATS in the ART process.

Semen samples were collected from 50 asthenoteratozoospermic (ATS) men. Samples were divided into control and melatonin group. The test group were incubated with 6 mM melatonin at 2, 4, 6, and 24 hours. Then total and progressive motility, membrane integrity, and Malondialdehyde levels (MDA) were evaluated. Statistical analysis was carried out by SPSS software (repeated-measures ANOVA).

In the control group, total (p<0.01) and progressive (P<0.05) motility and also, membrane integrity (P<0.03) significantly decreased although, MDA levels of sperm significantly increased (*P<0.04). Moreover, in the melatonin group, the mentioned parameters significantly compensated compared to the control group (P<0.05).

In the outcome, melatonin in vitro treatment paves the way for motility and membrane integrity up-regulating in the ATS men.

 The evolution of fertility treatment methods such as laparoscopic surgery and assisted reproductive technology (ART) leads to an increased chance for conception in women with endometriosis. However, it is still not clear which treatment is more likely to result in endometriosis recurrence.

 The current study aimed at assessing the recurrence rate of endometriosis and its main determinants following fertility treatment with surgery or ART.

 The current historical cohort study was conducted on 51 consecutive women with endometriosis undergoing fertilization procedures, including laparoscopic surgery (n = 42) and ART (n = 9) in Tehran from 2006 to 2016. All patients with complete hospital records were enrolled in the study. The patients in the two groups were followed up for five years for endometriosis recurrence.

 Within the follow-up time, the rate of endometriosis recurrence in patients of the surgery and ART groups was 28.6% and 44.4%, respectively, indicating no significant difference between the groups (P = 0.436). In this regard, the 1-, 2-, and 3-year recurrence-free survival rate in the ART group was 87.5%, 50.0%, and 50.0%, and in the surgery group was 96.9%, 90.6%, and 70.5%, respectively. Using the Cox proportional hazard modeling adjusted for baseline variables, the method of fertilization (ART or surgery) could not affect the rate of long-term recurrence of endometriosis (odds ratio = 1.428, 95% confidence interval: 0.177 - 9.900, P = 0.784).

 The method of fertilization treatment-e g, surgery, and ART- may not affect the rate of endometriosis recurrence in women with subfertility caused by endometriosis.

Bullying and the lack of social skills are essential for future risk-related problems, such as delinquency and feelings of rejection in children. The present study aimed to assess the effects of coloring mandala as Jungian art to reduce bullying and increase social skills in Afghan male working children.

It was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test, post-test and a control group design. The research population included all 10- to 12-year-old Afghan immigrant boys in Tehran City, Iran, who were studying in Parto School for Working Children, in 2019. The research sample consisted of 30 children who have obtained maximum scores on the Illinois Bully Scale (IBS) and minimum scores on the Teenage Social Skills Inventory (TSSI). The research participants were selected using a convenience sampling method. Then, they were assigned to the control and treatment groups by drawing lots. The treatment group attended ten 45-minute sessions of coloring mandalas and Jungian art. The data collection tools were the IBS: Student Version (Espelage & Holt, 2001) and the TSSI (Inderbitzen & Foster, 1992). The data were analyzed using the one-way Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) in SPSS.

The present research results suggested that the bullying scores for the participants in the treatment group significantly decreased at the post-test, compared to the pre-test (F=24.29, P=0.001); however, their social skills scores significantly increased at the post-test, in comparison with the pre-test (F=42.41, P=0.001). However, no significant differences were found in the bullying and social skills scores of the controls between the pre-test and post-test phases. 

Mandala coloring art was effective in reducing bullying behaviors and increasing social skills among the explored Afghan migrant working children. Therefore, this artistic method can be used as a suitable option for psychological therapies, teaching social skills, and creating participation and empathy in children in educational centers and schools for child labor.

The advent of ovarian stimulation within an in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle has resulted in modifying the physiology of stimulated cycles and has helped optimize pregnancy outcomes. In this regard, the importance of progesterone (P4) elevation at time of human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) administration within an IVF cycle has been studied over several decades. Our study aimed to evaluate the association of P4 levels at time of hCG trigger with live birth rate (LBR), clinical pregnancy rate (CPR) and miscarriage rate (MR) in fresh IVF or IVF-ICSI cycles.

This was a retrospective cohort study (n=170) involving patients attending the Centre for Reproductive and Genetic Health (CRGH) in London. The study cohort consisted of women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation using GnRH antagonist or GnRH agonist protocols. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the association of clinical outcomes. Differences were considered statistically significant if p0.05.

As serum progesterone increased, a decrease in LBR was observed. Following multivariate logistical analyses, LBR significantly decreased with P4 thresholds of 4.0 ng/ml (OR 0.42, 95% CI:0.17-1.0) and 4.5 ng/ml (OR 0.35, 95% CI:0.12-0.96).

P4 levels are important in specific groups and the findings were statistically significant with a P4 threshold value between 4.0-4.5 ng/ml. Therefore, it seems logical to selectively measure serum P4 levels for patients who have ovarian dysfunction or an ovulatory cycles and accordingly prepare the individualized management packages for such patients.
