Ensino integrado no pré-clínico: vale a pena?
Authors: Sobral Dejano T.
Published: January 2022

Resumo: Este trabalho descreve um estudo avaliador da fase pré-clínica do curso de medicina de Brasília, baseado num levantamento das percepções dos alunos mediante um inventário aplicado a turmas sucessivas, ao longo de 3 anos. O propósito do estudo foi determinar as apreciações dos alunos sobre os processos e produtos da instrução, face ao impacto da implantação do regime de créditos no enfoque integrado adotado no programa pré-clínico. Os resultados indicam que a maioria dos alunos valoriza a vivência de aprendizagem no pré-clínico e admite vantagem nas características que dão coerência ao programa. Paralelamente, foram evidenciadas deficiências no processo de instrução, em parte associadas à limitação no desempenho docente e, possivelmente, na capacidade de adaptação dos próprios alunos. Por fim, alguns indícios superem um declínio no eventual impacto negativo da alteração no regime curricular.
O PAPEL DOCENTE EM MEDICINA: AVALIAÇÃO PELOS ESTUDANTES
Authors: Sobral Dejano Tavares
Published: January 2022

Resumo: O autor relata um estudo das percepções de estudantes e mestrandos da área médica sobre funções e condutas especificas de ensino. Empregou-se a técnica do questionário, incluindo itens seletivos compilados da literatura especializada. Os resultados indicam que os participantes atribuem ampla importância a uma grande variedade de funções e condutas de ensino, mas demonstram preferência significativa por determinadas características, em termos da efetividade para a aprendizagem. Esse conjunto prioritário de condutas docentes representa cinco dimensões do ensino efetivo e pode constituir um indicador de proficiência docente. Outras implicações dos resultados são comentadas, em função de usos por estudantes e docentes.

RESUMO Objetivo Adaptar listas de sentenças para avaliar o reconhecimento de fala em adultos. Método Foram atualizadas 200 sentenças balanceadas foneticamente que passaram por duas etapas de revisão. Na primeira etapa, foi enviado um questionário on-line para 60 juízes analisarem as sentenças em relação aos critérios de familiaridade, significado e previsibilidade. Para análise da consistência interna do questionário foi aplicado coeficiente Alfa de Cronbach. Na segunda etapa, três juízes especialistas analisaram se as mesmas estavam de acordo com os parâmetros indicados pela literatura para a construção de sentenças e organizaram em 10 listas de 20 sentenças cada, a fim de facilitar a avaliação clínica do reconhecimento de fala. Foi realizado um estudo piloto com três indivíduos jovens e normo-ouvintes. Resultados Na primeira etapa foram analisadas as respostas de 15 juízes que preencheram todo o questionário. Verificou-se que a concordância entre os juízes foi alta para todos os critérios. Foram indicadas 71 sentenças para serem modificadas na primeira etapa, sendo a previsibilidade o critério que teve maior ocorrência de modificação. Na segunda etapa foram identificadas mais 28 sentenças passíveis de ajustes, sendo a presença de nome próprio o critério mais frequente. No estudo piloto os jovens apresentaram alto índice de reconhecimento de fala. Conclusão Concluiu-se que a maioria das modificações realizadas nas sentenças deste estudo possibilitou a criação de um material fidedigno para a prática clínica fonoaudiológica que contribuirá na padronização da avaliação da percepção da fala de indivíduos normo-ouvintes e com perda auditiva.
Hesitações e proeminência relativa em constituintes prosódicos na fala infantil
Authors: Villega Cristyane de Camargo Sampaio , Chacon Lourenço
Published: January 2022

RESUMO Objetivo verificar se as hesitações ocorreriam, preferencialmente, em posições fortes ou fracas de quatro dos constituintes prosódicos: enunciado fonológico, frase entonacional, frase fonológica e grupo clítico. Método os dados foram extraídos de um banco composto por 147 situações de entrevistas realizadas com crianças de 5-6 anos de idade. Para análise dos constituintes prosódicos, foi utilizado o princípio da proeminência relativa. A partir desse princípio, foram consideradas como em posição forte as ocorrências hesitativas identificadas em elementos proeminentes na organização de cada um dos constituintes prosódicos e, como em posição fraca, as ocorrências hesitativas identificadas em partes de constituintes que circundam as posições proeminentes. Foram detectadas, pelos juízes, 2.399 ocorrências hesitativas. Resultados foram identificadas, respectivamente, em posições fortes e fracas os seguintes totais de hesitações: (1) no enunciado fonológico = 305 (28,37%) e 770 (71,63%); (2) na frase entonacional = 285 (20,67%) e 1094 (79,33%); (3) na frase fonológica = 129 (16,49%) e 653 (83,51%); e (4) no grupo clítico = 154 (15,21%) e 859 (84,79%). Conclusão embora as ocorrências hesitativas tenham sido identificadas em posições fortes em todos os constituintes prosódicos analisados, houve prevalência pela posição fraca. Esse resultado corrobora estudos que afirmam que as hesitações ocorreriam em porções prosodicamente não nucleares. Além dessa confirmação, os resultados reforçam a eficácia do modelo da fonologia prosódica em relação ao princípio da proeminência relativa.

Além disso, também se observou relação entre os resultados de ambos protocolos com a Expanded Disability Status Scale. Conclusão Os pacientes com Esclerose Múltipla deste estudo apresentaram disfagia orofaríngea. Houve associação entre os achados da avaliação clínica, do instrumento de autopercepção da deglutição e da escala de incapacidade motora em pacientes com esclerose múltipla.
A graphical analysis-based method for undrained cylindrical cavity expansion in modified Cam Clay soil
Authors: Chen S. L. , Abousleiman Y. N.
Published: January 2022

A novel graphical analysis-based method is proposed for analysing the responses of a cylindrical cavity expanding under undrained conditions in modified Cam Clay soil. The essence of developing such an approach is to decompose and represent the strain increment/rate of a material point graphically into the elastic and plastic components in the deviatoric strain plane. It allows the effective stress path in the deviatoric plane to be readily determined by solving a first-order differential equation with the Lode angle being the single variable. The desired limiting cavity pressure and pore pressure can be equally conveniently evaluated, through basic numerical integrations with respect to the mean effective stress. Some ambiguity is clarified between the generalised (work conjugacy-based) shear strain increments and the corresponding deviatoric invariants of incremental strains. The present graph-based approach is also applicable for the determination of the stress and pore pressure distributions around the cavity. When used for predicting the ultimate cavity/pore pressures, it is computationally advantageous over the existing semi-analytical solutions that involve solving a system of coupled governing differential equations for the effective stress components. It thus may serve potentially as a useful and accurate interpretation of the results of in situ pressuremeter tests on clay soils.

“At the Speed of Trees”
Authors: Riem Antonella
Published: January 2022

This essay applies Riane Eisler’s biocultural partnership-dominator model as a relevant testimony of how transdisciplinary approaches to literature can broaden our critical scope, methodology and understanding when examining different types of texts. This comprehensive methodology for the study of literature draws upon different fields of knowledge and scientific investigation, such as quantum physics, biology and systemic science, ecosophy, ecoliteracy and contemporary studies on plant life. With the aim of rekindling the fundamental relationship between humans and nature, Richard Powers’ novel The Overstory (2018) is analysed as a powerful denunciation of the current dominator, destructive, violent world-view pervading our planet. If the Earth and its inhabitants are portrayed as being controlled and exploited, the novel also unmistakably reinforces the fundamental values of the partnership cultural paradigm, which focuses on the caring potential of human love and reciprocity
The Aquatic Turn in Afrofuturism

The recent efflorescence of fictional writings and artistic works examined under the rubrics of Blue Humanities (Mentz 2009), Critical Ocean Studies (DeLoughrey 2019), Hydro-Criticism (Winkiel 2019), or New Thalassology (Horden and Purcell 2006), testify a recent cultural shift from the land to the sea. In this article, the hydrosphere is analysed in two female Afrofuturist works – Nnedi Okorafor’s Lagoon (2014) and Wanuri Kahiu’s short film Pumzi (2010) – to address the global capitalist order and to imagine an aquafuturist multispecies aesthetics that springs from the countermemory of the Middle Passage and its undersea myths

A necessidade de se utilizar os recursos ambientais de maneira adequada e sustentável deve estar cada vez mais presente no cotidiano das pessoas, do poder público e das empresas. Diante disso, este estudo tem por objetivo analisar as práticas e iniciativas ambientais adotadas em empresas prestadoras de serviços contábeis e de turismo da região da Serra Gaúcha, no estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Para atingir tal objetivo, foi realizada uma survey por meio de um questionário elaborado a partir do instrumento “Indicadores Ethos para Negócios Sustentáveis e Responsáveis” (Ethos, 2016). Os resultados indicam que as empresas pesquisadas apresentam uma preocupação com as questões relacionadas ao meio ambiente, mas essa ainda não é uma unanimidade. As empresas têm preocupação com o consumo consciente de materiais, tais como papeis e descartáveis, com o consumo de energia e água e a destinação de seus resíduos, mas deixam a desejar quando se trata de ações ambientais e comunicação com a comunidade acerca deste tema. ABSTRACTThe need to use environmental resources in an adequate and sustainable manner must be increasingly present in the daily lives of people, public authorities and companies.

To achieve this objective, a survey was carried out through a questionnaire elaborated from the "Indicators Ethos for Sustainable and Responsible Business" (Ethos, 2016). The results indicate that the companies surveyed have a concern about environmental issues, but this is not unanimous. The companies are concerned with the conscious consumption of materials, such as paper and disposable, with the consumption of energy and water and the destination of their residues, but they do not deserve when it comes to environmental actions and communication with the community about this theme.

Considerando que o setor de hidrelétricas causa impactos ambientais de larga escala e que a evidenciação ambiental vem se tornando cada vez mais relevante para as organizações, a presente pesquisa teve por objetivo avaliar a qualidade da evidenciação ambiental praticada nos relatórios de sustentabilidade da Usina Hidrelétrica Binacional Itaipu. Quanto à abordagem, este estudo fundamenta-se na pesquisa qualitativa, e quanto ao objeto, este estudo se classifica como uma pesquisa documental. Para atingir o objetivo desta pesquisa, a coleta dos dados foi proporcionada pelos relatórios de sustentabilidade da Usina Hidrelétrica Itaipu do período de 2014 a 2019, a partir da confrontação dos princípios apresentados pela Global Reporting Initiative para a elaboração do relatório com o conteúdo dos relatórios divulgados pela Itaipu. A análise dos relatórios indica que a Itaipu apresentou falhas quanto a aderência do princípio “comparabilidade”, ao omitir informação sobre os valores investidos nos projetos analisados, fazendo com que a leitura do stakeholder ficasse prejudicada, entretanto, é possível identificar que a Itaipu buscou manter-se alinhada com os demais princípios analisados. O presente estudo contribuiu por buscar preencher a lacuna sobre a análise de evidenciação ambiental de uma organização de relevância social como a Itaipu Binacional.ABSTRACTConsidering that the hydroelectric sector causes large-scale environmental impacts, and that environmental disclosure is becoming increasingly relevant for organizations, this research aimed to evaluate the quality of environmental disclosure practiced in the sustainability reports of the Binational Itaipu Hydroelectric Power Plant .

Self-Employed Labor — A New Form of Atypical Employment?
Authors: Chernykh N. V.
Published: January 2022

The paper raises the problem of the status of self-employment in the context of referring self-employment to the forms of exercising citizens’ right to freely choose their type of activity, analyzes the development of legislation regulating the self-employed. The author highlights uncertainty in the issue of classifying a self-employed as a subject of entrepreneurial activity. The paper examines the problem of the possible use of self-employment to bypass labor legislation in terms of hiring workers under an employment contract. The author dwells on her stance concerning the need to include norms on self-employed citizens in the RF Law of 19.04.1991 No. 1032-1 “On Employment in the Russian Federation”. With regard to the social security of the self-employed, the author concludes that in the process of improving the legislation, the self-employed should take some intermediate position between the employee under an employment contract, provided by all types of compulsory social insurance in accordance with federal legislation, and a business entity that receives such insurance upon voluntary entry in social insurance relations. Otherwise, non-inclusion of a fairly wide range of self-employed population in relations with the pension scheme and social insurance will lead to instability of their legal status in the future.
On Interaction between Prosecutors and Specialists when Exercising Supervisory Powers outside the Criminal Law Sphere
Authors: Kocheva, D. V.
Published: January 2022

Prosecutors outside the criminal law sphere have the power to identify violations of the law, such as the right to demand that the heads and other officials “supervised” by the prosecutor’s office assign specialists to clarify the issues that have arisen. The conclusions of knowledgeable persons, clothed in material form, are in demand among law enforcement officers in various spheres of public life. At the same time, scientists and practicing lawyers have accumulated a number of issues concerning the legal status of a specialist in the Russian legislation, which also affect prosecutorial activities. In the paper, the author attempts to call interested researchers to a scientific discussion about the need for improvement of the legal regulation of the relevant legal relationship. Thus, the author outlines the results of the analysis of the legal regulation of the mechanism of cooperation between specialists and prosecutors in the course of the latter’s supervision over the implementation of laws, the observance of human and civil rights and freedoms, existing theoretical developments, personal experience of work in the prosecutor’s office.

Mapping domestic workers’ organizing globally
Authors: Schwenken Helen , Hobden Claire
Published: January 2022

Domestic workers face challenges for organizing, e.g. decentralization of the workforce, nature of the employment relationship. This article analyses, based on a multiple country-comparison, how domestic workers organize despite constrictions. We identify three forms of organizing: the trade union model and the association model (Shireen Ally). We propose, though, an additional third model, the ‘hybrid type’: domestic workers organize ‘amongst themselves’ in associations and at the same time these associations are linked to or integrated into trade unions, which provides representation, services and contact with other workers. Related to this finding, we see a trend of an ‘emerging trade unionism’. Which means that we tend to find more trade union-related forms of organizing than a decade ago. One explanatory factor is the “governance struggle” of winning the International Labour Organization’s Convention “Decent Work for Domestic Workers” in 2011, which led to an increased collaboration and trust-building between organized domestic workers and trade unions.

Published: January 2022

El estudio empírico que se presenta contribuye a la detección del sexismo en la escuela a través de la observación sistemática de los comportamientos del alumnado en el patio de recreo. Los principales objetivos consisten en detectar las diferencias en el uso del espacio, observar la distinta tipología de juegos desempeñadas por el alumnado de distinto sexo y analizar la disposición de materiales de juego facilitadas por la escuela (CEIP Víctor Oroval i Tomás) ubicada en Carcaixent, Valencia. La metodología utilizada ha consistido en un estudio descriptivo de casos, en el que han participado un total de 142 alumnos/as. Los resultados obtenidos permiten extraer diferencias en todos los campos observados. Se plantean como propuestas necesarias para la investigación futura introducir diagnósticos con perspectiva de género sobre el uso del patio de recreo, por un lado, y, por otro, la incorporación de medidas concretas de corrección para evitar el sexismo escolar.
Entrenamiento práctico en el uso de la imagen térmica infrarroja en estudiantes del posgrado en Salud Mental Infantil y de la Adolescencia: un estudio piloto
Authors: Rodriguez Medina David Alberto , Garbus Pamela
Published: January 2022

De acordo com os níveis de treinamento em termografia para profissionais de saúde, foi proposto introduzir os níveis 1 e 2 em um estudo piloto para estudantes de pós-graduação na especialização em Saúde Mental da Criança e do Adolescente. Para isso, foram realizadas três práticas profissionais de registro termográfico: 1) Avaliação facial qualitativa, mãos da imagem térmica por infravermelho para avaliação do processamento Cognitivo-Afetivo de estímulos visuais e treinamento em respiração diafragmática; 2) Avaliação quantitativa da temperatura nasal pré-pós de um teste de estresse cognitivo; e 3) Avaliação quantitativa da temperatura nasal da capacidade natural de relaxamento (por si só) e o efeito do relaxamento induzido por um exercício de imagens guiadas. Os resultados são consistentes com estudos anteriores: o estresse diminui a temperatura nasal, enquanto o relaxamento aumenta. É discutido o uso de instrumentos térmicos infravermelhos para avaliação do equilíbrio autonômico afetivo em estados de estresse / relaxamento, bem como o efeito autonômico do processamento cognitivo-afetivo em tempo real para especialistas em saúde mental.
Twin Deficit Hypothesis and Macroeconomic Fundamentals: New Evidence from Nigeria
Authors: AYINDE Taofeek Olusola , OGUNSIJI Muritala Olayemi , IBIKUNLE Kaosarat Olawunmi
Published: January 2022

This study tests for the validity of the twin-deficit hypothesis in Nigeria for the period 1981 – 2018 and further seeks to ascertain the role of macroeconomic fundamentals in driving this hypothesis using the non-linear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) model and structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) model. With evidence from granger causality test, the results obtained for the NARDL model support the validation of the twin-deficit hypothesis for the Nigerian economy. As long-run equilibrium exists, it was further established that the twin deficits were majorly driven by the degrees of financial and trade openness in Nigeria as no substantial shock effects of the twin deficits were traceable to any of the macroeconomic fundamentals. It is therefore recommended that policy makers in Nigeria should properly sequence the degree of economic openness to ensure the overall health of the economy.

It appears that up until now, no comprehensive tool has been developed to assess medical students’ attitudes toward the different dimensions of professionalism. The present study aimed to develop a comprehensive quantitative tool to evaluate medical students’ attitudes toward professionalism.
This study consisted of two phases: The first phase was item generation and questionnaire design based on literature review and a qualitative survey. The qualitative data were extracted from 49 semi-structured individual interviews and one focus group discussion. In the second phase, the questionnaire was developed and its face, content, and structure validity and reliability were evaluated. To measure the construct validity of the questionnaire, a cross-sectional study was conducted on 354 medical students at different academic levels at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences.
The final questionnaire was loaded on five factors. The factors accounted for 43.5% of the total variance. Moreover, Cronbach's alpha was 0.84 for the total scale, and the interclass correlation coefficient was 0.77 for the test-retest reliability. The 17-item questionnaire measuring medical students’ professional attitude had acceptable validity and reliability and can be adopted in other studies on physicians’ and medical students’ professional attitudes.

Protection of patients' rights is critical in improving healthcare quality, and hence this study aimed at reviewing patient rights’ practices in healthcare organizations of Iran.
Using systematic search, this review was conducted based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P). Several keywords, including "patient rights", "patient bills of rights" and "patients rights’ charter" were searched bilingually in the databases of SID, Magiran, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science from 2010 to 2021, and then, following a three-tier screening using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP) checklists, 76 articles were extracted.
The degree of compliance with the Patients' Rights Charter (PRC) in healthcare organizations was 60.88% on average. As to the observance of the PRC dimensions, respectively, the highest and lowest scores were related to the "right to privacy and confidentiality" (70.16%) and "right to access an efficient complaining system" (53.01 %).
Respect for patients' rights in organizations was assessed at a moderate level, and some aspects of patients' rights should be attended to immediately. Therefore, discrepancies in the dimensions of patients' rights and their implementation by organizations should be on the agenda of healthcare managers and policymakers.

The most common functional gastrointestinal problem in the world is functional constipation. "Ayarij-e-Faiqra (AF)" is a polyherbal formula that has been recommended by Persian Medicine as an efficent purgative agent . The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of AF on functional constipation using a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. According to the Rome III classification, 79 adults with functional constipation were included in this trial. The diagnostic criteria were according to the Rome III classification. Patients with constipation symptoms who referred to the traditional medicine clinic of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences from April 2014 to September 2016 were randomly allocated to the AF and placebo groups. The AF and placebo groups received AF and placebo for three months, respectively and followed up for another three months. During the study, the treatment efficacy was assessed by a questionnaire. AF treatment significantly decreased most of the symptoms by 84% at the end of the first month (p < 0.05) and by 90% at the end of the third month in comparison to placbo group (p < 0.001). However, three months after the end of the intervention, the frequency of constipation symptoms in both groups was not statistically significant. Based on the satisfaction questionnaire, the treatment satisfaction score during the intervention was increased to 9 in the AF group, but no significant difference was found between the two groups three months after the intervention (p > 0.005). Although AF could be beneficial for treating functional constipation without significant side effects, changing patients’ lifestyles has  great importance in this process.

Nocturnal enuresis is one of the most common chronic problems of childhood. It has a significant effect on health and quality of life of children and their families. Despite pharmacological treatments, enuresis in most children relapses after the medication is discontinued. Also available drugs have many side effects that limited their uses. So, we compared the effect of topical use of Saussurea costus (Falc.) Lipsch. (Qost) oil as a Persian Medicine product on pediatric nocturnal enuresis in a parallel randomized double blinded study. Eighty-two patients aged 5 to 15 years who were diagnosed as monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis were allocated to receive costus oil or sesame oil topically below the navel twice a day for 4 weeks. Patients were evaluated prior to and following end of the study in terms of frequency of enuresis and any observed adverse events. The results were evaluated with valid PLUTSS questionnaire. For evaluation, Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests, Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests were used. Significant p value was < 0.05. A significant decrease in mean scores of the questionnaires was noted in both groups. The results before and after the intervention were significantly different in both groups, but there was no statistically significant difference between the intervention and control groups. At the end of the 4th week, the frequency and volume of enuresis showed a 46.2 percent reduction in costus oil group and a 25.5 percent reduction in sesame oil group. According to this study, the response rate based on PLUTSS questionnaire in costus oil group is 74.5%; while in the sesame oil group is 69%. No drug side effect was noticed in this study. Based on the results of this study, costus oil is effective in children with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis; however, there is no significant difference between costus oil and sesame oil.

Qurs Afsanteen Saghir is a polyherbal Unani formulation in the form of tablet. This formulation consists of multiple medicinal plants like Afsanteen (Artemisia absinthium L.), Badam Talkh (Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D.A.Webb), Asaroon (Asarum europaeum L.), Anisoon (Pimpinella anisum L.) and Tukhm-e-Karafs (Apium graveolens L.). The clinical adult dose of study drug is 3.5 –7 g per day as mentioned in Unani literature. The present study evaluated the antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory potential of Qurs Afsanteen Saghir using different animal models. Antipyretic activity was measured using yeast-induced pyrexia model in rats at 360 and 720 mg/kg bw dose of test drug and paracetamol (70 mg/kg bw p.o.) as standard control. Analgesic effect was evaluated using acetic acid-induced writhing test in mice using test drug at dose 720 and 1440 mg/kg bw and diclofenac sodium (15 mg/kg bw p.o.) as standard control. Eddy’s hot plate test was conducted in rats using test drug at the dose of 360 and 720 mg/kg bw and buprenorphine (0.10 mg/kg s.q.) as standard control. Anti-inflammatory activity was assessed by carrageenan-induced paw edema model in rats with the dose of 360 and 720 mg/kg of test drug and Indomethacin (10 mg/kg p.o.) as standard control. The study drug significantly reduced the temperature and pain at both dose levels in a time-dependent manner as compared to normal control. However, the reduction of inflammation was observed at low dose (360 mg/kg bw) only after 3 hours of carrageenan administration. These findings indicated that tested drug showed potential activity as antipyretic and analgesic; whereas the drug may not be considered quite effective as an anti-inflammatory agents.

Since synthetic chemotherapeutic drugs produce a certain degree of drug resistance and due to their common side effects, such as damage to hematopoietic cells and hair loss, it is necessary to use herbal medicine as a substrate to develop new anticancer drugs. The ingredients of three essential oils (EO) were identified using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. Their anticancer activities have been investigated on four human breast cancer cell lines, including MCF-7, MDA-MB-175, MDA-MB-231, and MDA-MB-468. In addition, their antioxidant activity was evaluated using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. The three plants were investigated for identifications of the ingredients of their EOs, and major ingredients were identified in each plant as alpha-phellandrene (26.75 %) in Anethum graveolens L., limonene (61.83 %) in Citrus limon (L.) Osbeck, and zingiberene (30.28 %) in Zingiber officinale Roscoe. Among the EOs, C. limon was significantly more effective than others; its half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) on MCF-7 was obtained at 201 µg.mL-1. Furthermore, Z. officinale EO showed a higher antioxidant activities in comparison to the two other EOs. Considering the antioxidant and anticancer effects of the EOs, they could be further investigated as a possible complementary medicine in cancer.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder that causes abdominal pain, distension, change of bowel habit, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and mucus discharge along with stools. Although the disease causes long-term and agonizing pain, no ideal cure has been found for it so far. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and compliance of Mentha aquatica L. extract for the treatment of bloating caused by IBS. This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial study was conducted in Tooba gastroenterology clinic in Sari, Iran, during 2019 (from January to May). A total of 104 patients with IBS in the age range of 20-80 years were randomly divided into two parallel groups of herbal medicine (MAC-330) and placebo. Study period consisted of a 4 weeks of administration, and 2 weeks of follow-up. IBS-associated symptoms including severity of bloating (as primary outcome) and frequency of defecation and abdominal pain were evaluated using a questionnaire before treatment, 1, 2 and 4 weeks after beginning treatment and 2 weeks after stopping treatment. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of their baseline characteristics (p > 0.05). The severity of bloating was significantly reduced in the both groups at fourth week (p < 0.030) and 2 weeks after stopping intervention (sixth week) (p < 0.026). The frequency of defecation has increased with the onset of the intervention until the fourth week of the treatment which was not significant. The abdominal pain reduced during the 4 weeks’ intervention, but it was not significant. Based on the obtained results, MAC-330 could not be used as an effective treatment for patients with IBS in short time; however, it reduces the abdominal bloating and pain in these patients, especially in the long-term use.
