Publisher: name: Birjand University of Medical Sciences
Year: 2022

description: Background and Aims: The opioid system plays a key role in opioid tolerance and dependence. On the other hand, they have shown that the opioid system plays a role in the analgesic effects of Ferula gummosa extract. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of Ferula gummosa essential oil (FGEO) on morphine tolerance and dependence in mice.\nMaterials and Methods: In this experimental study, 60 albino mice were divided into 10 groups of 6 as follows: vehicle (10 ml/kg), diazepam (5 mg/kg), and FGEO (40, 20, and 10 mg/kg). To induce morphine tolerance or dependence, it was administrated 3 times for 3 contentious days. In the tolerance phase, drugs were injected intraperitoneally for 30 minutes before morphine administration. In the dependence phase, the drugs were used only on 4th day (test day). The withdrawal signs were recorded for 30-min. The data were analyzed with SPSS 20 software, ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis statistical tests, and Tukey's and Ben Feroni's post hoc tests, respectively.\nResults: 20 and 40 mg/kg doses of FGEO in the tolerance phase and only the high dose (40 mg/kg) of the essential oil decreased the number of jumps in the dependence phase. (Including diarrhea, writhing, rearing, climbing, wet dog shakes, grooming, and teeth chattering behaviors decreased by FGEO in both phases.\nConclusion: FGEO decreased morphine tolerance and dependence and possibly was useful for the treatment of opioid dependence after complimentary trials.

The effect of eight weeks of high-intensity interval training and sleep regulation on resistance and sensitivity of insulin, body fat percentage, and reaction time in adolescent girls with sleep disorders
Publisher: name: Birjand University of Medical Sciences
Year: 2022

description: Background and Aims: Sleep disorders increase many diseases and a decrease physiological function. This study aimed to compare the effect of the two methods of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and sleep regulation program and a combination of the two on insulin resistance and sensitivity, body fat percentage, and reaction time in adolescents with sleep disorders.\nMaterials and Methods: This is a single-blind and quasi-experimental study was conducted based on an applied research method. In total, 80 female students with sleep disorders (13-17 years old) were selected by the available sampling method and randomly divided in four groups (n=20). All subjects participated in the pre-test and post-test sessions for measurements two days before and after the research process, respectively. The participants in the HIIT and combined groups followed the RAST (Running-Based Anaerobic Sprint Test) program for 4 weeks, three sessions a week, and the sleep regulation and combined groups followed the sleep schedule for 4 weeks, according to the necessary recommendations. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 26) and running paired t-test, and ANCOVA. Moreover, a P-value of ≤0.05 was considered significant.\nResults: The findings showed that 4 weeks of combined intervention of HIIT+sleep regulation could lead to a significant improvement in all research variables, including glucose, insulin, insulin resistance and sensitivity, pancreatic beta cell function, body fat percentage, and reaction time of girls (P=0.001). In addition, the HIIT group, compared to the sleep regulation and control groups, caused a significant improvement in glucose, insulin resistance and sensitivity, pancreatic beta cell function, body fat percentage, sleep quality, and reaction time (P=0.001), except for insulin (P=0.428).\nConclusion: According to the obtained results, HIIT combined with sleep regulation can be a valuable intervention in treatment programs to improve physiologic problems reduce the costs of treatment for adolescent girls with sleep disorders and their families.
Fatigue Life Analysis of Rail-Welds Based on Linear Fracture Mechanics
Creators: name: Yalelet, Endalemaw
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: Engineering Structures can fail in various ways including yielding, buckling and brittle fracture. While all materials suffer fatigue, the effect is particularly pronounced for ductile materials, such as metals and glassy polymers. For such a ductile material, fracture may occur after a small number of cycles, when cyclic loads repeatedly cause large-scale plastic deformation. In most engineering structures, however, loads are kept small so that the structures deform elastically. Even so, a crack may initiate somewhere in such a structure, and extend by a small amount during each cycle of the load. Rail welds are the weak link in continuously welded rails i.e. Small imperfection in welds can cause cracks to initiate. Detection and rectification of rail-weld defects are major issues for all rail players around the world. If undetected and/or untreated these defects can lead to rail breaks and derailments. These are challenges to perform effective inspection and cost-effective maintenance decisions. If these issues are addressed properly, inspection and maintenance decisions can reduce potential risk of rail breaks and derailments. This thesis work was majorly aimed at determining probability of failure as a result of cyclic fatigue loading of the wheel on the Weldments so as to arrive at an inspection frequency. Primarily, a finite element model (Abaqus model) was used to estimate the contact stress between the wheel section and the rail section at the weld and at the base rail, as well. Second, flaw (i. e the presence and size of cracks) was determined using an Ultrasonic flaw detector at different locations. Third, the model was updated to fracture mechanics-based fatigue models (FRANC3D model), based on Paris law with a flaw inserted inside. There by, the critical crack size and the number of cycles to failure was determined as 0.146955mm and 20,957,747 cycles of wheel passage, respectively. Then, probabilistic reliability model was developed with uncertainties in the detected crack size and final crack size. Thus, using the LEFM approach the reliability to failure was determined using Advanced First Order Reliability Method, Hasofer-Lind Reliability Index, as 96.69%. Finally, addressing some of the issues associated with probability of failure, an inspection frequency was suggested to be in five months interval based on reducing the long-term life cycle cost. Last, a recommendation is set to future researchers for a development of a detailed maintenance strategy.
The Effect of Track Irregularities on Wheel-Rail Contact Relationship

Year: 2016

description: Track irregularity is an inevitable problem in any rail network and it is the source of track deterioration and degradation. This becomes evident in railway projects spanning cities. Hence, the effect of track irregularities on wheel-rail contact relationship is studied with the aim to solve the contact geometry and contact pressure problems induced by these track irregularities. In this regard, independent analysis and parametrization of the rail head surface geometry and the wheel thread geometry is conducted first and the wheel and rail contact point is determined, with the help of the predefined simplified coordinate system. After the identification of the wheel-rail contact point, mathematically, Hertzian contact theory is applied to calculate the contact area. Accordingly, for an applied normal wheel load of 125kN, the contact area was found to be 118.3 mm2. Finite element models were also used to simulate the lateral and vertical irregularities, with the help of computer software, ABAQUS. Eight finite element models were analyzed for the study: four for lateral irregularity, three for vertical irregularity, and one model for the tracks without irregularity. When lateral irregularity is applied on the model the contact pressure on the rail was found to be increasing as compared to the model simulating tracks without irregularity, with a maximum increment of 33.34% for +30mm lateral irregularity. However, contact area and normal contact force induced on the rail decreases by 15.47%, for -8mm and +10mm lateral irregularity, and 15.17%, for +20mm lateral irregularity, respectively. Similarly, for the applied +30mm vertical irregularity the contact pressure increases by 54.14%, however for +10mm vertical irregularity the contact pressure decreases by 9.15%. Moreover, the +30mm vertical irregularity gives the maximum contact area with a magnitude of 67.66 mm2.

description: We present an approach for synthesizing reactive robot motion plans, based on compilation to Syntax-Guided Synthesis (SyGuS) specifications. Our method reduces the motion planning problem to the problem of synthesizing a function that can choose the next robot action in response to the current state of the system. This technique offers reactivity not by generating new motion plans throughout deployment, but by synthesizing a single program that causes the robot to reach its target from any system state that is consistent with the system model. This approach allows our tool to handle environments with adversarial obstacles. This work represents the first use of the SyGuS formalism to solve robot motion planning problems. We investigate whether using SyGuS for a bounded two-player reachability game is practical at this point in time.

Year: 2022

description: Background and Aims: Nowadays, osteoporosis is increasing, especially in postmenopausal women, due to hormonal changes, including some enzyme factors, such as alkaline phosphatase and blood calcium levels. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate the effect of eight weeks of water exercise with Elaeagnus angustifolia supplementation on alkaline phosphatase and calcium serum levels in overweight and obese postmenopausal women.\nMaterials and Methods: The current apply quasi-experimental study 42 postmenopausal women living in Qazvin province, Iran, with a mean age of (52.97±5.08) years, a mean weight of (73.95±8.09) kg, and a mean height of (156±5.76) cm, were selected. Then, they were randomly divided into four groups: control (n=10), exercise + placebo (n=10), supplement (n=10), and exercise + supplement (n=12). The exercise included eight weeks of water exercise at an intensity of 60-74% of the maximum heart rate twice a week, and the supplement group received daily oral supplementation of 15 g. Blood samples were collected to measure the serum level of alkaline phosphatase with an ELISA kit and calcium with spectrophotometry method in two stages before and 24 h after the last session exercise. To analyze the differences between groups and within groups, the ANOVA test and paired t-test were used, respectively. The significance level was considered at α=0.05.\nResults: The results of the study showed a significant difference only in serum calcium levels among exercise+placebo (P=0.013), exercise+supplement (P<0.001), and supplement (P<0.001) groups. No significant difference was observed in the other parameres between different groups.\nConclusion: Consumption of supplementation of Elaeagnus angustifolia with water exercise could not affect alkaline phosphatase, and body composition in overweight and obese postmenopausal women.

description: The theory of the fundamental limits (TFL) of nonlinear optics is a powerful tool for experimentalists seeking to create molecules and materials with large responses, and for theorists who are seeking to understand how the basic elements of quantum theory delineate the boundaries within which these searches should be conducted. On a practical level, the TFL provides a metric for measuring the performance or 'goodness' of new molecules, relative to what is possible. Explorations of large sets of structures within the theory provide insight into new design rules for creating more active molecules. This article is a review of the TFL, starting with a history of its development and its first use to discover that all molecules as of the year 2000 fell a factor of 30 below the limits, and continuing to the present day where the theory continues to provide research opportunities and challenges. The review focuses on off-resonant nonlinear optics in order to sharply focus on the key elements of the TFL, but pointers are provided to the literature for near- and on-resonance applications.

description: Addis Ababa city metropolitan constructed phase one light rail transit line aiming to solve current transport problem. This Light Rail Transit is assumed to transport 80,000 passengers per hour per direction. For the system to hit the targeted objective on the proposed line, stations have to be positioned at a place where it can attract maximum users which enable the system to solve the problem and to be independent of subsidies. This is all about integrating Light rail system with other transport modes in Addis Ababa. This paper examines the existing station sites accessibility to other transportation modes or access mode, and adopts Geographic Information Systems and Multi-Criteria Evaluation technique to carry out suitability mapping of station locations for phase two light rail transit route in Addis Ababa. For the station suitability analysis, eleven different criteria were identified and each criterion was weighted using Analytical Hierarchy Process AHP. The output of Analytical hierarchy process was used as an input for geographic information system GIS special analysis. Finally, based on these criteria requirements using overlaying, Euclidean distance calculation, Rasterisation, buffering reclassification and weighted overlay analysis, the station site suitability map was generated. The map revealed five classifications as: "less suitable", "suitable", "moderately suitable", highly suitable and "extremely suitable".

description: A fundamental question in system design is to decide how much of the design of one component must be known in order to successfully design another component of the system. We study this question in the setting of reactive synthesis, where one constructs a system implementation from a specification given in temporal logic. In previous work, we have shown that the system can be constructed compositionally, one component at a time, if the specification admits a "dominant" (as explained in Introduction) strategy for each component. In this paper, we generalize the approach to settings where dominant strategies only exist under certain assumptions about the future behavior of the other components. We present an incremental synthesis method based on the automatic construction of such assumptions.

Comparison of common cardiac factors among addicted and non-addicted older adults in Birjand
Publisher: name: Birjand University of Medical Sciences
Year: 2022

description: Background and Aims: Age-related aspects of addiction are one of the most important public health challenges in the world and also in Iran. Therefore, the present study aimed to compare the level of common cardiac factors in addicted and non-addicted older adults.\nMaterials and Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 230 older adults over 60 years in Birjnd, the capital of South Khorasan, Iran. A total of 115 older adults with at least one year of drug use history and 115 older adults without a history of addiction were included in the study. A questionnaire containing demographic and addiction information was completed for each subject. Body mass index (BMI), as well as systolic and diastolic blood pressure, was determined. Blood samples were taken from each individual after 12 hours of fasting to measure fasting blood sugar (FBS), and lipid profile (HDL, LDL, total cholesterol, and triglyceride).\nResults: There was no significant difference in FBS between addicted and non-addicted older adults (P>0.05). In the lipid profile, there was only a significant decrease in triglyceride levels in the addicted group compared to their non-addicted counterparts (P=0.02). Mean blood pressure in the addicted group was significantly lower than that in the non-addicted group (P=0.01).\nConclusion: As evidenced by the results of this study, opium dependence does not seem to have a protective effect on blood sugar and lipid profiles. Therefore, education and promotion of community health literacy, especially among older adults, are necessary to improve traditional beliefs about opium use.

Year: 2017

description: The general objective of this thesis is to analyze effect of change of radiuses curvature of Rail profile on contact fatigue stress using analytic and finite element software's. The formulation in this study aims primarily at determination of stresses and fatigue parameters by varying contact area arising from variation in radiuses curvature of Rail profile. A change in radiuses curvature of Rail profile brings in a change in contact area and stresses. The theoretical models are based on the normal problem (Hertz theory) correspondingly, variations in the results in terms of principal stresses and fatigue parameters such as equivalent stresses, fatigue damage, and expected fatigue life with changes in radiuses curvature of Rail profile are obtained. Comparisons of different radiuses curvature of Rail profile are taken place. Better radiuses curvature of Rail profile is suggested. Results obtained are expected to help understand the rail wheel configuration dependence on the stress deformation pattern and fatigue parameters. This may help an appropriate selection of radiuses curvature of Rail profile in the optimization process.

description: We present a geometric approach to D-brane model building on the non-factorisable torus backgrounds of $T^6/\mathbb{Z}_4$, which are $A_3 \times A_3$ and $A_3 \times A_1 \times B_2$. Based on the counting of `short' supersymmetric three-cycles per complex structure {\it vev}, the number of physically inequivalent lattice orientations with respect to the anti-holomorphic involution ${\cal R}$ of the Type IIA/$Ω\cal{R}$ orientifold can be reduced to three for the $A_3 \times A_3$ lattice and four for the $A_3 \times A_1 \times B_2$ lattice. While four independent three-cycles on $A_3 \times A_3$ cannot accommodate phenomenologically interesting global models with a chiral spectrum, the eight-dimensional space of three-cycles on $A_3 \times A_1 \times B_2$ is rich enough to provide for particle physics models, with several globally consistent two- and four-generation Pati-Salam models presented here. We further show that for fractional {\it sLag} three-cycles, the compact geometry can be rewritten in a $(T^2)^3$ factorised form, paving the way for a generalisation of known CFT methods to determine the vector-like spectrum and to derive the low-energy effective action for open string states.

Year: 2022

description: Background and Aims: Nowadays, considering lifestyle changes and epidemiological transitions, non-communicable diseases such as hypertension and related risk factors have become one of the most important health priorities. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of hypertension and its related risk factors in South Khorasan province in 2016 and 2021.\nMaterials and Methods: In this descriptive study which was a part of the national Stepwise approach to surveillance (STEPS) plan of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education, adults >18 years old living in South Khorasan province were selected by stratified multi-stage cluster sampling. Data were collected using the National Survey questionnaire on risk factors for non-communicable diseases (ecological information, behavioral, physical, and biological assessments) by the questioning team under the supervision of the authors of the Health Department of the Birjand University of Medical Sciences and were analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics (Chi-square test) in SPSS software (version 16).\nResults: The prevalence of hypertension in 2016 was 25.4%, and in 2021 it increased to 36.4%. Although the percentage increased in patients' awareness, the percentage of coverage of effective treatment has decreased from 39.8% to 27.4%. The prevalence of behavioral risk factors has decreased over a 5-year period, and the prevalence of physical risk factors (except overweight) has increased. The percentage of using salt has decreased; however, it is still higher than the national average, and the proper consumption of fruits and vegetables is lower than the national average.\nConclusion: The prevalence of hypertension in South Khorasan province is increasing, resulting from a gradual increase in physical risk factors and a lack of a healthy diet. Therefore, considering the common risk factors, it seems necessary to adopt preventive policies and interventions and follow the required treatments.

description: The layered lanthanum silver antimonide LaAgSb$_2$ was known to experience two charge density (CDW) phase transitions, which were proposed recently to be closely related to the newly identified Dirac cone. We present optical spectroscopy and ultrafast pump-probe measurement on the compound. The development of energy gaps were clearly observed below the phase transition temperatures in optical conductivity, which removes most part of the free carrier spectral weight. Time resolved measurement demonstrated the emergence of strong oscillations upon entering the CDW states, which were illuminated to come from the amplitude mode of CDW collective excitations. The frequencies of them are surprisingly low: only 0.12 THz for the CDW order with higher transition temperature and 0.34 THz for the lower one, which shall be caused by their small modulation wave vectors. Furthermore, the amplitude and relaxation time of photoinduced reflectivity stayed unchanged across the two phase transitions, which might be connected to the extremely low energy scales of amplitude modes.

description: We find that if solid xenon is formed from liquid xenon, denoted "ice", there is a 10% increase of $^{129}$Xe longitudinal relaxation $T_1$ time (taken at 77 K and 2 Tesla) over a trickle-freeze formation, denoted "snow". Forming xenon ice also gives unprecedented reproducibility of $^{129}$Xe $T_1$ measurements across a range of 77-150 K. This temperature dependence roughly follows the theory of spin-rotation mediated by Raman scattering of harmonic phonons (SRRS), though it results in a smaller-than-predicted spin-rotation coupling strength $c_{K0}/h$. Enriched ice $^{129}$Xe $T_1$ experiments show no isotopic dependence in bulk relaxation mechanisms at 77 K and at kilogauss fields.

description: Background and Aims: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is one of the psychological problems after the COVID-19 pandemic. Some people can cope with this trauma and return to their previous status or even achieve a higher level of performance, which is called post-traumatic growth. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and the relationship between the PTSD and post-traumatic growth symptoms among patients discharged from COVID-19 intensive care units (ICU).\nMaterials and Methods: The present study was a descriptive study conducted on 172 patients discharged from COVID-19 ICU. Samples were selected with cluster randomized multistage method from the patients discharged from the ICU, with previous six months recovery. Data were collected using demographic questionnaire, and post-traumatic stress and post-traumatic growth checklists. Then, the collected data were analyzed in SPSS software (version 21).\nResults: Results showed that 34.3% and 58.96% of patients experienced PTSD and post-traumatic growth, respectively. Pearson correlation analysis showed that with the increase in PTSD score, the post-traumatic growth score also increased in these patients (r=0.524, P=0.001).\nConclusion: Post-traumatic stress disorder and post-traumatic growth symptoms were common among COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICU. In addition, the more the patients experienced post-traumatic stress symptoms, the more likely they were to experience the post-traumatic growth.

description: Light rail transit is less costly to build and operate than other fixed-guide way modes. It represents a viable solution to a very large range of transportation problems and to provide room for incremental growth in capacity. For this reason Ethiopia select this type of transit system to response high demand of passenger transportation in Addis Ababa. Hence the investigation is made to study the facility, capacity and operation incorporated in light rail transit Based on this study, station facility and function of the Addis Ababa light rail transit meet basic objectives like minimizing the transportation shortage and facilities. But due to some problem of operations and planning the transportation demand are not fully responded; such that the comfortable and average operating speeds are limited. As a result passenger and vehicle crossing at grade on some station increase head on time that made service quality to class C; number of train planned cannot balance efficiently demand of passenger which affect comfort and result in level of service to class E, and unavailable separated power supply system has also it is own impact on operation.

description: We present an efficient numerical approach for treating ballistic quantum transport across devices described by tight binding (TB) Hamiltonians designated to systems with localized potential defects. The method is based on the wave function matching approach, Lippmann-Schwinger equation (LEQ) and the scattering matrix formalism. We show that the number of matrix elements of the Green's function to be evaluated for the unperturbed system can be essentially reduced by projection of the time reversed scattering wave functions on LEQ which radically improves the speed and lowers the memory consumption of the calculations. Our approach can be applied to quantum devices of an arbitrary geometry and any number of degrees of freedom or leads attached. We provide a couple of examples of possible applications of the theory, including current equilibration at the p-n junction in graphene and scanning gate microscopy mapping of electron trajectories in the magnetic focusing experiment on a graphene ribbon. Additionally, we provide a simple toy example of electron transport through 1D wire with added onsite perturbation and obtain a simple formula for conductance showing that Green's function of the device can be obtained from the conductance versus impurity strength characteristics.

description: Energy games, which model quantitative consumption of a limited resource, e.g., time or energy, play a central role in quantitative models for reactive systems. Reactive synthesis constructs a controller which satisfies a given specification, if one exists. For energy games a synthesized controller ensures to satisfy not only the safety constraints of the specification but also the quantitative constraints expressed in the energy game. A symbolic algorithm for energy games, recently presented by Chatterjee et al., is symbolic in its representation of quantitative values but concrete in the representation of game states and transitions. In this paper we present an algorithm that is symbolic both in the quantitative values and in the underlying game representation. We have implemented our algorithm using two different symbolic representations for reactive games, Binary Decision Diagrams (BDD) and Algebraic Decision Diagrams (ADD). We investigate the commonalities and differences of the two implementations and compare their running times on specifications of energy games.

description: Background: Family planning is central to gender equality and women's empowerment and it is a key factor in reducing poverty.Long acting family planning methods provide uninterrupted protection to women for 3 to12 years and by far the most effective and very safe. It is divided into intra uterine contraceptive devices and implants; when it was removed, return to fertility is prompt. Objective: The objective of this study was to assess utilization of long acting family planning methods and associated factors among married reproductive age women in Silti District, Silte Zone, SNNPR, Ethiopia, 2017. Methods: A community based cross-sectional studysupplemented by qualitative focus group discussion was conducted by multi stage sampling technique with sample size of 528. Study subjects selected by systematic random sampling for quantitative data and purposive sampling procedure for qualitative data.The data was enteredusing EPI INFO version 3.1and analysis was done by using SPSS version 22. Coding, entry and statistical analysis were done. Strength of association was measured using odds ratio and 95% CI. Statistical significance was declared at p value <0.05. Table and charts was used to present result. Results: A bivariate analysis showed thatwomen who had a positive attituderegarding long acting family planning 2 times more likely to use long acting family planning methods as compared with those who had negative attitude (AOR=1.76, 95%CI (1.01, 3.04) and women who had shifted/switched contraceptives were 7 times more likely to use long acting family planning methods as compared with those who had no shifted/switched (AOR=7.11, 95% CI(4.12,12.25). The predominant ideas on focus group discussion werereligion and husband decision making, reason for not utilizing long acting family planning methods. Conclusion and Recommendations:Women educational status, knowledge level, attitude level and shifting or switching from one contraceptive to other were identified as significant determinants of utilization of long acting family planning methods in the study area.Advocacy at level of religious leader which help decision making.

description: Breast cancer is recognized as the most common cause of cancer deaths in women. So far, no definite treatment has been identified there is no certain cure for breast cancer. The Ooverexpression of interleukin-8 is associated with increased tumor growth and breast cancer metastasis. Hesperetin is a flavonone sub-group of flavonoids that is abundantly found in citrus fruits, including lemons and oranges. Considering the anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory role of hesperetin, as also, well as the role of interleukin-8 in cancer metastasis and progression, in this studythe present study aimed to assess , the effect of hesperetin on the expression of the interleukin-8 gene in MCF-7 cell line has been investigated. The relative expression level of interleukin-8 gene in MCF-7 cell line at concentrations of 0, 25, 50, 100, and 200 µM hesperetin and durations of 6, 24, and 48 hours (with the concentration of 100 µM) was performed using the A real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR)Real-time method PCR was performed. The obtained Our results pointed out showed that the level of interleukin-8 gene expression decreases with an increase in by increasing the concentration of hesperetin (up to 100 µM), the level of interleukin-8 gene expression decreases. Furthermore, Also, the level of interleukin-8 gene expression in the 48-hour treatment was lower than that in the 24- and 6-hour treatments. Considering its various properties, including anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties, hesperetin could be effective in reducing the risk of metastasis and progression of breast cancer by reducing the expression of the interleukin-8 gene.

Migration of Medical Staff; Has the Alarm Sounded?
Publisher: name: Birjand University of Medical Sciences
Year: 2022

description: Among the types of migration, the migration of expert human resources is one of the most challenging for the immigrant sender countries. With the outbreak of COVID-19 worldwide, the importance of medical staff and the need for providing sufficient human resources in the healthcare section appeared more prominent. COVID-19 along with the existing economic challenges has intensified the process of medical staff migration in Iran, one of the immigrant sender countries. Investment in the development of expert human resources requires the allocation of large material resources, and wasting the mentioned resources also means giving these experts to the destination countries for free. Identification of different dimensions and the root causes of the migration of expert human resources helps policymakers in making effective decisions. In this study, economic-occupational factors, socio-cultural factors, and obstacles to continuing education were identified as the main factors of medical staff migration.
