Published: January 2023

Background:
Disrespect and abuse during childbirth is regarded as harassment of women and a violation of their rights. The aim of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of the disrespect and abuse questionnaire in Iranian parturient women.

Materials and Methods:
This cross-sectional study was conducted on 265 postpartum women in both private and public hospitals in Tabriz, Iran. The scale was translated from English into Farsi. In the quantitative face validity, the impact score was determined for each item. Moreover, in the quantitative content validity, the Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and Content Validity Index (CVI) were assessed based on the comments of experts on the relevance, clarity, and simplicity of items (CVI) and the necessity of items (CVR). Construct validity was assessed through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses.

Results:
In the face validity assessment, all items received a minimum impact score of 1.5. In assessing the content validity, all the items attained the minimum acceptable value of CVR (>0.69) and CVI (>0.79). According to the exploratory factor analysis, the Disrespect and Abuse Questionnaire has 23 items and five factors, including abandoning the mother, improper care, mother's immobility, not talking to the mother, and mother's deprivation. The construct validity of the scale was confirmed by the confirmatory factor analysis, in which X

Published: January 2023

Background:
Women are known to use Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) during pregnancy despite the subsequent potential unknown effects associated with its use. This study was performed to evaluate the use of CAM products and its related factors among pregnant women in Shiraz, Iran.

Materials and Methods:
This cross-sectional study of 365 pregnant women referred to obstetrics clinics affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences (Iran) was conducted in 2020. Sampling was performed in all three affiliated centers based on a probability, proportional to size protocol. Pregnant women were nominated using a systematic random sampling scheme using their health record numbers. A 20-item questionnaire was administered via in-person interviews and data on demographics, use of CAM products, reasons for use, and referral and information sources were collected. Binary logistic regression was applied and adjusted odds ratios were estimated.

Results:
CAM use was reported for recent pregnancies by 56.92% of participating women, with a significantly higher use in participants of low socioeconomic status (Chi21 = 5.12; p < 0.024). The main reason for CAM use was having faith in the efficacy of CAM (72.73%). Reported CAM use was restricted to herbal preparations. Most of the women who used CAM (73.0%) did not report their CAM use to their doctor.

Conclusions:
There is a high rate of CAM use among pregnant women. More maternal care services during current pregnancy, parity, and general and pregnancy-related history of CAM use were correlated with CAM use. Mother–healthcare provider relationship should be improved in the field of CAM.

Published: January 2023

Background:
Change in respiratory indices is the most common problem in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients. This problem is managed through pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical methods. This study aimed to determine local hyperthermia effect on respiratory parameters of COPD patients.

Materials and Methods:
This randomized controlled trial study was conducted on 46 patients with COPD referred to Allameh Bohlool Hospital in Gonabad, Iran in 2019. The participants were randomly assigned into two groups using quadrupled blocks. In both groups, a local pack was placed on the anterior chest for 23 min twice daily for 5 days. In the intervention group, the temperature of the hot pack was 50° and in the placebo group was the same as the body temperature. Respiratory indices including force vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV1), etc., were measured and compared before and after the last intervention in both groups. To gather data, demographic information form and respiratory indices record form were used.

Results:
Compared to before the intervention, all respiratory indices such as vital capacity (VC) (z = -4.25, p < 0.001), FEV1 (t22 = -114.18, p < 0.001), PEF (t22 = 5.91, p < 0.001) in the experimental group were increased significantly. Moreover, the difference in the mean respiratory indicators such as Pick Expiratory Flow rate (PEF) (t44 = 94.63, p < 0.001) and SPO2 (z = -3.27, p < 0.05) was also statistically significant in the two groups before and after the intervention.

Conclusions:
Local hyperthermia is effective in the improvement of respiratory indices among COPD patients, but it is recommended to conduct further studies before the implementation of this approach.

Authors: Mohammadi Solmaz , Shojaei Kobra , Maraghi Elham , Motaghi Zahra 
Published: January 2023

Background:
Preterm Birth (PTB) is one of the leading causes of infant morbidity and mortality. Prenatal care is an effective way to improve pregnancy outcomes but there is limited evidence of effective interventions to improve perinatal outcomes in disadvantaged pregnant women. This review was conducted with the aim to assess the effectiveness of prenatal care programs in reducing PTB in socioeconomically disadvantaged women.

Materials and Methods:
We searched the Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases from January 1, 1990 to August 31, 2021. The inclusion criteria included clinical trials and cohort studies focusing on prenatal care in deprived women with the primary outcome of PTB (< 37 weeks). Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration's tool for assessing risk of bias and the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale. Heterogeneity was evaluated using the Q test and I2 statistics. The pooled odds ratio was calculated using random-effects models.

Results:
In total, 14 articles covering 22,526 women were included in the meta-analysis. Interventions/exposures included group prenatal care, home visits, psychosomatic programs, integrated intervention on socio-behavioral risk factors, and behavioral intervention through education, social support, joint management, and multidisciplinary care. The pooled results showed that all types of interventions/exposure were associated with a reduction in the risk of PTB [OR = 0.86; 95% confidence interval: (0.64, 1.16); I
2 = 79.42%].

Conclusions:
Alternative models of prenatal care reduce PTB in socioeconomically disadvantaged women compared with standard care. The limited number of studies may affect the power of this study.

Published: January 2023

Background:
Hearing loss is one of the most common congenital disorders. The Early Diagnosis and Intervention Process is designed for the early diagnosis and intervention of hearing loss in infants. The present study aimed to examine the results of Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) in northeastern Iran from 2005 to 2019.

Setting:
Northeastern Iran.

Methods:
In most cases, the two-stage protocol (otoacoustic emissions [OAE] and automated auditory brainstem response [AABR]) has been used. Infant assessment methods included the use of OAE, ABR, auditory steady-state response, high-frequency tympanometry, and behavioral audiometry. Interventions included medical interventions, hearing rehabilitation, hearing aids, and cochlear implants.

Results:
1,162,821 infants were screened. The screening coverage increased from less than 1% in 2005 to about 99% in 2018. The referral rate has been about 1%. 2.17 out of every 1000 infants are hearing impaired, and the most common cases are bilateral hearing loss and mild to moderate hearing loss.

Conclusions:
During 2005 to 2019 the coverage rate reached to more than 95% of live births. To improve the EHDI process in this population, better follow-up of diagnosed neonates and expansion of diagnostic and intervention services are needed.

Authors: Walmsley Rosalind , Chong Lynn , Sumithran Priya , Hii Michael 
Published: January 2023

Background:
Early identification of patients at risk of poor weight loss following bariatric surgery may provide an opportunity for timely addition of intervention to optimize weight loss. This study investigates the relationship between early postsurgery weight loss trajectory and final weight loss outcomes.

Methods:
Data from patients who underwent primary sleeve gastrectomy (SG), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), or one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) between October 2014 and March 2020 at a single institution were analyzed retrospectively. Total weight loss percentage (%TWL) was calculated at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 months postsurgery. Regression analysis demonstrated associations between early weight loss and %TWL between 12 and 36 months. Multivariate analysis identified predictors of maximal weight loss (MWL) and insufficient weight loss (IWL).

Results:
Six hundred and sixteen patients met the inclusion criteria. Follow-up weights were available at 12 months for n = 571, 18 months for n = 382, 24 months for n = 344, 30 months for n = 198, and 36 months for n = 187. The median (interquartile range) MWL for SG, RYGB, and OAGB was 29.9% (24.3–35.7), 32.5% (27.5–38.2), and 38.0% (32.6–42.4), respectively. On multivariate linear regression, MWL was best predicted by 3–6-month %TWL after both SG (P < 0.001) and OAGB (P < 0.001) and by 6–9-month %TWL following RYGB (P < 0.001).

Conclusion:
Early weight loss predicts MWL and %TWL up to 36 months following laparoscopic SG, RYGB, and OAGB. Identification of poor weight loss responders early may represent an opportunity to intervene to optimize postsurgical outcomes.

Published: January 2023

Different species of mosquitoes have been implicated in the transmission of various diseases to humans and livestock, including malaria, filariasis, dengue fever, encephalitis, etc. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro larvicidal potentials of Albizia lebbeck and Tamarindus indica against the third instar larvae of two mosquito species, Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus. Fresh leaves of the plants were collected, dried, grounded, and extracted separately with petroleum ether in a soxhlet apparatus. The powdered samples were screened for phytochemical constituents using standard methods. The larvicidal potential of both extracts was evaluated using the WHO protocols. Results of the phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and triterpenoids. The extracts of both plants exhibited significant and dose-dependent mortality of C. quinquefasciatus larvae at 97.33% with LC50 of 0.3092 for A. lebbeck and 98.67%, with LC50 of 0.1729 mL/L for T. indica at extracts concentration of 1.6 mL/L. Also, the extracts showed significant and dose-dependent mortality of A. aegypti larvae with 25-92% mortality and LC50 = 0.2735 mL/L for A. lebbeck and 32-92% for T. indica leaf extracts with LC50 = 0.2889 µg/mL (p≤ 0.006621). We conclude that the extracts of these plants possess larvicidal potentials and could be developed into natural larvicides for mosquito control programs.

This study was carried out to assess the tree species diversity, family composition and diameter size distribution of the tree species in Igbo-Olua sacred groove, Ondo state, Nigeria using appropriate standard techniques. A total of 34 tree species distributed in 23 families were recorded. Sterculiaceae family (66) had the highest number of individual stem per ha while Moraceae family had the highest number in terms of tree species per hectare (7). The distribution of the diameter structure is typical of the natural forest type with high number of tree species in the smaller size classes or interval (12.5) and the number of tree species decreases with increasing size class or interval. Diversity measures obtained included Shannon-Weiner index (3.09), Evenness (0.64) and Margalef index (6.36). Awakening the consciousness of people towards the protection of sacred groves has practical implications on their survival. Hence government and other allied institutions should gear efforts towards grove conservation.

Aim: To formulate and evaluate Moringa oleifera loaded phytosome for its in vitro antioxidant activity. Method: The plant material was analyzed for its quality by analyzing various pharmacognostical properties. The plant material was subjected for extraction by using maceration followed by soxhlet extraction using ethanol: water as solvent. The resultant extract was subjected for phytochemical investigations to assess the presence of plant metabolites. Furthermore, novel lipid based nano formulation such as phytosome was prepared by thin film hydration method. The prepared phytosomes loaded with Moringa oleifera extract was analysed for DSC, FTIR, particle size and entrapment efficiency. The optimized formulation (F3) was subjected for in vitro antioxidant activity. Thin Layer Chromatography was performed using Quercetin as standard and Methanol: Water as mobile phase. Results: The organoleptic evaluation revealed the plant is green, aromatic odour, slightly bitter taste erect stems, thick grey bark, flowers are white. Physicochemical parameters such as Moisture content, Total ash, Acid Insoluble ash, Water soluble ash values, Aqueous, Alcohol and Petroleum ether extractive values are found to be 8.5, 10.5, 5, 12.5, 12.5 and 2.5% respectively. The phytochemical investigation confirmed the presence of Alkaloids, Glycosides, Steroids, Terpenoids and Phenols. The compatibility study confirms that the excipients and drugs are compatible with each other. Among four prepared phytosomes with different ratios, formulation 3 exhibited smaller particle size such as 141nm and entrapment efficiency as 81%.Hence, formulation 3 is subjected for further antioxidant activity. With the IC50 value of 17.82µg/ml, formulation 3 showed promising antioxidant activity which was compared with standard ascorbic acid with IC50 33.53 µg/ml. Conclusion: The present work can be utilized for plant identification and standardization of Moringa oleifera for further research .Based on the results, it can be concluded that novel lipid based nanoformulation loaded with Moringa oleifera exhibited promising Antioxidant properties. The limitations arising from conventional dosage forms will be overlooked by the novel lipid based phytosomes with greater bioavailability and remarkable therapeutic effects.
