Introduction: Ischemic heart disease is the main cause of death in most societies. The disease has no cure and diseases management is necessary throughout the life of the patient. Medical adherence for preventing further progression of the disease and stroke is very important. The purpose of this study is to review the effect of self-management program and telephone follow up on medical adherence in patients with ischemic heart disease. Materials and Methods: The study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) which contains 60 patients with ischemic heart disease who are eligible for inclusion criteria. They divided randomaly into two equal control and experimental groups. All samples were examined with demographic and medical adherence questionnaire at first. The intervention group participated in the workshop of self management program during the first week after discharging. Then, it was followed up by phone for 8 weeks. Finally 3 and 6 months weeks after the last call, the questionnaire of medical adherence were fulfilled again by all samples and the results of the two different periods were compared. Results: The results showed that there is no meaningful statistical difference due to demographic characteristic and medical adherence between two groups of examination before interference. But medical adherence of the intervention group after instruction of self management program and telephone follow up increased in a meaningful way compared to pre-intervention on 3 and 6 month periods (p

In this paper, Rice water requirement and irrigation water requirement in Amol agro meteorological Station in 2016-2045 are forecasted based on the projected meteorological data of Hadcm3 under A2 scenario. Rice water requirements are estimated by using crop coefficient approach. Reference evapotranspiration are calculated by FAO Penman-Monteith method. Moreover, the irrigation water requirements are simulated by calibrated CROPWAT model using the meteorological parameters. The results show that both crop water requirement and irrigation water requirement present downward trend in the future. In 2016-2045, the rice water requirement and irrigation water requirement decrease by more than 9.9% under A2 scenario, respectively. Furthermore, the precipitation rise may be the main reason for the decrease in crop water requirement, while significant decrease of irrigation water requirement should be attributed to combined action of rising precipitation and a slight increase in temperature.

The methods of estimation of nonparametric regression function are quite common in statistical application. In this paper, the new Bayesian wavelet thresholding estimation is considered. The new mixture prior distributions for the estimation of nonparametric regression function by applying wavelet transformation are investigated. The reversible jump algorithm to obtain the appropriate prior distributions and value of thresholding is used. The performance of the proposed estimator is assessed with simulated data from well-known test functions by comparing the convergence rate of the proposed estimator with respect to another by evaluating the average mean square error and standard deviations. Finally by applying the developed method, density function of galaxy data is estimated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BACKGROUND: Coronary artery spasm (CAS) is defined as a reversible, sudden epicardial coronary artery stenosis that causes vessel occlusion or near occlusion. CASE REPORT: In this article, we present a clinical case of CAS in a 48-year-old woman undergoing elective aortic valve replacement surgery for aortic stenosis. On the 3rd post-operative day, the patient suffered from chest pain and dyspnea. Emergent coronary angiography demonstrated a significant spasm of the ostium portion of the right coronary artery. CONCLUSION: This case shows that delayed coronary spasm should be considered as a cause of hemodynamic instability after valvular surgery.

Simultaneous a collision tumor of stomach consisting of adenocarcinoma and Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) is very rare based on our knowledge. This coexistence has rarely been reported in literatures. We report a case of 64-year-old woman who has diagnosed with prepyloric poorly-differentiated diffuse signet-ring cell type adenocarcinoma and has undergone an elective D2 total gastrectomy. During operation another mass in fundic body region has found. The pathologic examination of the mass has shown GIST. Immunohistochemical staining for CD117 and Desmin was positive whilst that for S100 was negative. This case reports the simultaneous two tumors development of different histotypes and natures in the same organ.

Purpose The present research was conducted to evaluate the effect of the severity of dumping syndrome (DS) on weight loss outcomes after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in patients with class III obesity. Methods The present retrospective cohort study used the dumping symptom rating scale (DSRS) to evaluate the severity of DS and its correlation with weight loss outcomes in 207 patients 1 year after their RYGB. The patients were assigned to group A with mild-to-moderate DS or group B with severe DS. Results The mean age of the patients was 42.18 ± 10.46 years and their mean preoperative BMI 42.74 ± 5.59 kg/m2. The total weight loss percentage (%TWL) in group B was insignificantly higher than that in group A, but besides that was not significantly different in the two groups. Conclusion The present findings suggested insignificant relationships between the presence and severity of DS after RYGB and adequate postoperative weight loss.

- Abstract
Background: Weight loss failure after bariatric surgery imposes great stress on patients and surgeons and great costs on healthcare systems. The literature review shows that weight loss failure is the most common cause of redo bariatric surgery. Therefore, identifying the predictors of weight loss failure in patients in the early stages can help bariatric surgeons. The present study aims to determine the association between primary weight loss and long-term weight loss outcomes., Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted on 329 patients undergoing OAGB who were followed for 60 months. For the prediction of short-term (24 months) and long-term (60 months) successful weight loss and weight regain, we used %TWL and BMI at any regular follow-ups., Results: In preoperative indices, age, sex, DLP, hypothyroidism, and HTN were not significant to predict successful short-term and long-term weight loss but %TWL at 12 months is a significant predictor of successful weight loss in short-term and long-term follow up. In the prediction of weight regain, preoperative indices (except BMI) were not significant but 12-month %TWL was a significant predictor., Conclusions: This index can help surgeons find these patients early and provide helpful instructions to manage their issues more promptly to reach better weight loss outcomes., (© 2024.

- Abstract
Purpose: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is an issue after one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) and modification of OAGB with adding an anti-reflux system may decrease the incidence of postoperative GERD. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of the anti-reflux mechanism to treat preoperative GERD and prevent de novo GERD., Methods: A prospective randomized clinical trial study was conducted on patients with a body mass index of 40 and more from August 2020 to February 2022. Patients undergoing one anastomosis gastric bypass with and without anti-reflux sutures (groups A and B, respectively). These patients had follow-ups for one year after the surgery. GERD symptoms were assessed in all the patients using the GERD symptom questionnaire., Results: The mean age was 39.5 ± 9.8 years and 40.7 ± 10.2 years in groups A and B respectively. GERD symptoms remission occurred in 76.5% and 68.4% of patients in groups A and B, respectively. The incidence of de novo GERD symptoms was lower in group A, compared to group B (6.2% and 16.1% in groups A and B respectively), without any statistically significant difference (p-value: 0.239)., Conclusion: GERD symptoms and de novo GERD after OAGB seems to be under-reported after OAGB. This study suggests that applying an anti-reflux suture can decrease de novo GERD symptoms., (© 2024.

- Abstract
Background: One of the most common cognitive disorders after major surgery is delirium which can increase morbidity and mortality. This study compared the effect of dexmedetomidine with or without melatonin to reduce delirium following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery., Methods: This trial was a double-blind, randomized, controlled clinical trial. Eighty patients in two different groups with the administration of dexmedetomidine alone or with melatonin undergoing CABG surgery in Golestan Hospital, Ahvaz, 2022 - 2023, were randomly allocated. This study evaluated the occurrence, onset, and length of delirium, haloperidol, the time required for weaning, and the duration of stays in the intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital., Results: The occurrence of delirium was lower in the melatonin/dexmedetomidine group (15%) than in the dexmedetomidine group (30 %) (P = 0.09). Additionally, the melatonin/dexmedetomidine group had a significantly lower duration of delirium than the dexmedetomidine group (1.95 (0, 20) and 8.46 (0, 40) P = 0.04). However, no significant difference was observed in the onset of delirium between the two groups (P = 0.25). The length of hospital stays in the melatonin/dexmedetomidine group was significantly shorter than in the dexmedetomidine group (7.53 (7, 10) and 8.60 (7, 15), P = 0.03). However, the two groups demonstrated no significant difference between extubation (P = 0.38) and length of ICU stay (P = 0.19)., Conclusions: The administration of melatonin and dexmedetomidine reduced the incidence of post-cardiac surgery delirium, shortened its duration, and decreased the impact of many risk factors observed in those not receiving the added melatonin., Competing Interests: The authors have no competing interests., (Copyright © 2023, Javaherforooshzadeh et al.)

- Abstract
Introduction: Hypertensive patients' failure to refer to health centers for the management of their disease is the most fundamental public health challenge in most societies. The aim of this study was to identify the utilization obstacles to hypertension services provided at comprehensive health centers (CHCs) from the perspective of patients and the staff of health centers., Methods: This was a qualitative study using conventional content analysis which was conducted in 2022. Participants included 15 hypertensive patients referring to CHCs and 10 staff (including personnel of CHCs and expert staff) of Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Ahvaz, southwest of Iran. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews. Interviews were analyzed using content analysis method, and coding was done manually., Results: In total, 15 codes and 8 categories were extracted from the interviews which were organized in two main themes of "individual problems" and "systemic problems". More particularly, the main theme of "individual problems" involved attitudinal obstacles, occupational obstacles, and economic obstacles. The main theme of "systemic problems" included educational obstacles, motivational obstacles, procedural obstacles, structural obstacles, and managerial obstacles., Conclusion: In order to address individual problems associated with the patients' failure to refer to CHCs, we need to take appropriate measures. These include using motivational interviewing techniques and utilizing the effective activity of healthcare liaisons and volunteers in CHCs to increase patients' awareness and change their negative attitudes and misconceptions. To solve systemic problems, it is imperative that effective training courses be held for health center staff., (© 2023. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the perioperative outcomes and complications between pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) candidates with and without jejunostomy tube (J-tube) feeding. Materials and methods: This retrospective cohort study was performed on 48 patient candidates for PD, with or without J-tube placement during surgery, in Shahid Modarres Hospital, Tehran, Iran, between 2013 and 2021. Two groups were matched for age, gender, history of heart, endocrine, hypertension and kidney diseases, and drug use. A 12 French jejunal feeding tube was placed at 20-30 cm distal to gastrojejunostomy anastomosis. Outcomes, including biliary leak, postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), delayed gastric emptying (DGE), surgical site infection (SSI), intra-abdominal infection, duration of nasogastric tube (NGT) stay, postoperative (PO) tolerance length, need for total parenteral nutrition (TPN), hospitalization length, and mortality rate, were assessed. Results: There were eight cases with leak (37.5% J-tube group, of which six (75%) were pancreatic type and two (25%) biliary type. There were 11 (22.9%) patients with DGE (54.5% in J-tube group). There was no significant inter-group difference in SSI (P=0.340), intra-abdominal infection managed non-invasively (P=0.369), intra-abdominal abscess managed by percutaneous drainage (P=0.158), patients requiring TPN (P=0.447), NGT placement duration (P=0.088), PO tolerance time (P=0.327), hospital stay (P=0.760) and mortality rate (P=0.851). Conclusion: J-tube placement after PD for pancreatic cancer may be associated with increased postoperative complications. The conclusion of the present study is that there is no difference between performing and not performing the J-tube placement method in terms of complications and consequences.

- Abstract
Background: A large liver size is a factor that may increase the difficulty of bariatric surgery (BS) and unwanted complications. Some agents have been used to decrease the liver size before BS. Silymarin has been used as an antioxidant agent to improve liver function tests. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of silymarin on liver dimensions, function, and lipid profile., Materials and Methods: A double-blind randomized clinical trial was performed on 56 patients. The patients were divided into silymarin and placebo groups. Blood samples and sonographic examinations were taken from the patients before and 4 weeks after the administration of the silymarin or placebo. In the first group, 140 mg silymarin was prescribed every 8 h for 4 weeks, and the other group received placebo in the same way with the same tablet shape. After the completion of the 4-week treatment, laboratory tests and ultrasonography were carried out again., Results: Thirty-nine (69.6%) patients were female with a mean body mass index (BMI) of 46.2 kg/m
2 and a mean age of 36.8 years. Most of the patients had a compliance of 80% and higher. The analysis did not show any significant difference in aspartate transaminase, alkaline transaminase, liver size, cholesterol, and triglyceride changes among the silymarin and placebo groups. BMI loss was slightly higher in the silymarin group although the difference was not statistically significant., Conclusion: The present findings show that silymarin administration for 4 weeks does not affect liver size and function, but further evaluations should be carried out on the subject., Competing Interests: There are no conflicts of interest., (Copyright: © 2022 Journal of Research in Medical Sciences.)- Published

- Abstract
Background: Regardless of the cause, pulmonary hypertension can increase patient complications and mortality. This study compared the effect of nebulized versus intravenous (IV) milrinone on reducing pulmonary arterial pressure in patients with pulmonary hypertension candidates for open-cardiac surgery., Methods: This double-blind, randomized clinical trial was performed on 32 patients undergoing elective on-pump cardiac surgery during January 2021-January 2022 in the Cardiac Operating Room of Golestan Hospital, Ahvaz, Iran. Patients were randomly divided into test groups nebulize milrinone (N = 16) and IV milrinone (N = 16). The medication was administered after the cross-clamp of the aorta opening. The outcome variables included hemodynamic data, cardiac output, cardiac index, stroke volume, mean arterial pressure (MAP), central venous pressure, mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP), systemic vascular resistance, pulmonary vascular resistance, MAP/mPAP ratio, time until extubation, duration of hospitalization in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), and duration of hospital stay., Results: In the nebulized group, MAP and MAP/mPAP were significantly higher than in the IV milrinone group (P = 0.09 and P < 0.0001, respectively). The time of extubation (P = 0.001), duration of hospitalization in the ICU (P = 0.009), and duration of hospital stay (P = 0.026) in the nebulized milrinone group were significantly shorter than in the IV milrinone group., Conclusions: Nebulized milrinone administration before weaning off cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can be accelerated and facilitate weaning off CPB. Moreover, despite maintaining MAP, nebulized milrinone significantly reduces mPAP. According to the results of this study, nebulized milrinone is recommended in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with pulmonary hypertension., Competing Interests: Conflict of Interests: The authors have no conflicts of interest to disclose., (Copyright © 2022, Author(s).)

- Abstract
This study review the prevalence of selenium deficiency after bariatric surgery, incidence, and symptoms. A systematic literature search and meta-analysis was performed in PubMed and Scopus for articles published by November 1, 2021, including the keywords "Roux-en Y gastric bypass", "RYGB", "Omega bypass", "Mini bypass", "One anastomosis gastric bypass", "Bariatric surgery", "Weight loss surgery", "Metabolic surgery", "Gastric bypass", "Loop gastric bypass", "Selenium", "Selenium deficiency", or a combination of aimed tothem in the title or abstract. In this review, nine studies examining a total of 1174 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The mean age of the patients was 41.14 ± 7.69 years. The mean interval between bariatric surgery and selenium deficiency was 40.36 ± 43.29 months. Mean BMI before surgery and at the time of selenium deficiency was 43.68 ± 4.91 kg/m
2 and 28.41 ± 9.09 kg/m2 , respectively. Additionally, the results showed a prevalence of 16% and 2% of selenium deficiency at 1- and 2-year follow-up after bariatric surgery, respectively. Symptoms included weakness, myopathy, and cardiomyopathy, loss of muscle mass, erythematous desquamating eruption, lethargy, dyspnea, and bilateral lower extremity pitting edema. Forty percent of studies reported "Selenium orally (100 μg once daily)" as treatment option. A multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, including dietitians, should be involved in the bariatric patient's care. As a result, clinicians should encourage patients to take supplements for the rest of their lives, and patients should be monitored after surgery if necessary., (© 2022.

- Abstract
Purpose: With the global increase in life expectancy and the subsequent impaired quality of life in older obese adults, modalities such as bariatric surgery become crucial to help lose excess weight. This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) in patients 65 years old and above., Materials and Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted on 61 patients with severe obesity aged ≥ 65 years through Iran National Obesity Surgery Database. The patients had undergone OAGB and were followed up for 12 to 60 months. The required data was extracted through national database., Results: Mean age and BMI of the patients were 67.62 ± 2.03 years and 46.42 ± 5.46 kg/m
2 , respectively. Regarding gender, 90.1% of the participants were female. Mean operative time and length of hospital stay were 41.37 ± 13.91 min and 1.16 ± 0.61 days, respectively. Five patients (8.19%) required ICU admission. The changes in %TWL after 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 month follow-up was 18.62%, 25.51%, 32.84%, 35.86%, 38.49%, 31.41%, and 29.52%, respectively. The resolution of gastroesophageal reflux disease, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea, and hypertension after 24 month was about 100%, 65%, 73.33%, 100%, and 76%, respectively. The postoperative early and late complications were 6.53% and 11.46%, respectively. We did not find significant difference in above results between two age groups of 65-70 and > 70 years., Conclusions: OAGB can be a good choice in older obese adults because of its shorter operative time, higher potency, and low complication rate., (© 2022.

- Abstract
Introduction: Morgagni Hernia (MH) is a type of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). CDH is a diaphragmatic discontinuity that permits abdominal viscera to herniate into the chest during development. It does not only occur in early childhood but also has been reported in adults. The most prevalent clinical sign of MH is respiratory disorder of all ages., Case Presentation: An elderly woman with a known history of diabetes, ischemic heart disease, hypertension, and constipation presented to us with increased abdominal pain. Besides, her PCR test results were positive for COVID-19. She underwent diagnostic laparoscopy surgery. The incision was closed with an intracorporeal suture, and then dual mesh was fixed to diaphragmatic wall. The postoperative progress was satisfactory two weeks after surgery. Based on a negative PCR test, the patient was discharged from the hospital., Discussion: The foramina of Morgagni is a defect in the costosternal trigons produced by a lack of anterior pleuroperitoneal membrane muscularization. Although gastrointestinal symptoms and cardiorespiratory discomfort are typically connected with the diagnosis and treatment of MH in youngsters, there are a few middle-aged people who, like our case, develop symptoms suddenly. Albeit a paradigm change in the 21st century deems less invasive laparoscopic surgery to be the treatment of choice, open surgical procedures via a trans-thoracic or trans-abdominal route are still used., Conclusion: MH is indeed uncommon in adults, but in patients with an acute onset of intestinal obstruction, the possibility of MH should be in mind. It can be fatal if it is misdiagnosed., (Copyright © 2022. Published by Elsevier Ltd.)

- Abstract
Conversional bariatric surgery is a challenging procedure to patients as well as the surgeon. One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is a known safe conversional procedure after primary restrictive weight loss surgeries such as vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG). A very rare reported complication after these operations is the formation of mucocele of gastric remnant during pouch creation. This is a video report of diagnosis and management of gastric remnant mucocele after conversion of VBG to OAGB., (© 2021.

- Abstract
Background: Abdominal apoplexy is one of the rare causes of non-traumatic intra-abdominal bleeding. This condition is usually seen in male patients in their 50s with history of hypertension. As soon as abdominal apoplexy is suspected, immediate resuscitation should be performed followed by emergent surgery. The patient's outcome depends entirely on the clinical condition and the time interval between diagnosis and treatment., Case Presentation: Herein we present a 63-year-old man with idiopathic spontaneous intraperitoneal hemorrhage (ISIH) caused by spontaneous rupture of non-aneurysmal inferior pancreaticoduodenalartery (IPDA)., Conclusion: In this report, a case of abdominal apoplexy has been presented caused by spontaneous rupture of non-aneurysmal inferior pancreaticoduodenalartery (IPDA) in a patient without any significant past medical history., Competing Interests: There are no conflicts of interest declared.

- Abstract
Introduction: Pain management after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery remains challenging., Objective: This study aimed to compare the effects of Ketorolac and Paracetamol on postoperative CABG pain relief., Method: This double-blind randomized clinical trial study was conducted in Ahvaz, Iran, from September 2018-December 2019. Two consecutive groups of 60 patients undergoing elective on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery., Intervention: The patients were divided into 0.5 mg/kg of ketorolac mg/dl and 10 mg/kg of Paracetamol after surgery for pain management. Primary outcomes were: visual analog pain scale (VAS) at the time point immediately after extubation (baseline) and at 6, 12, 24 and 48 h and the total dose of morphine consumption. Secondary outcomes included the hemodynamic variables, weaning time, chest tube derange, in-hospital mortality and myocardial infarction., Statistical Analysis: The data were analyzed using SPSS version 22(SPSS, Chicago, IL). The Mann-Whitney U-test was used to compare demographic data, VAS scores, vital signs, and side effects. Repeated measurements were tested within groups using Friedman's ANOVA and the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Values were expressed as means ± standard deviations. Statistical significance was defined as a p-value < 0.05., Results: Compared with baseline scores, there were significant declines in VAS scores in both groups throughout the time sequence (P< 0.05). The statistical VAS score was slightly higher in the Paracetamol group at most time points, except for the time of 6 h. However, at 24 and 48 h, the VAS score in group Paracetamol was significantly higher than in group Ketorolac. There were no significant differences between groups about hemodynamic variables., Conclusion: The efficacy of ketorolac is comparable to that of Paracetamol in postoperative CABG pain relief., Trial Registry: IRCT20150216021098N5.

- Abstract
Background and Aims: Renal ischemia-reperfusion occurs in some clinical conditions such as kidney surgery that can leads to acute renal failure. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of p-coumaric acid (CA) on ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury., Methods: Thirty rats were randomly divided into five groups; control, CA (100mg/kg), I/R, propylene glycol (10%)+I/R and CA+I/R, (n=6 each). CA and propylene glycol were administered orally for 2 weeks. Then, the rats were subjected to bilateral renal ischemia for 45min and followed by reperfusion for 24h. All rats were killed and kidney function tests, tissue malondialdehyde and activity of antioxidant enzymes were determined. Histopathological evaluations were also performed. In addition, renal expression of the tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunohistochemistry., Results: CA significantly improved the Cr and BUN levels in CA+I/R group compared to I/R group (p<0.005 and p<0.001, respectively). Reduction of tissue superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and catalase, were significantly improved by CA (p<0.01, p<0.01 and p<0.05). Treatment with CA also resulted in significant reduction in tissue MDA (p<0.05), TNF-α (p<0.001) and interleukin-1β expression (p<0.001) that were increased by renal I/R. Also, the rats treated with CA had nearly normal structure of the kidney., Conclusions: The present findings suggest that, CA protects the kidneys against I/R injury via its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects., (Copyright © 2019 Sociedad Española de Nefrología.

- Abstract
Background: The indications for sleeve gastrectomy as a primary procedure for the surgical treatment of morbid obesity have increased worldwide. Pain is the most common complaint for patients on the first day after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. There are various methods for decreasing pain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy such as the use of intraperitoneal bupivacaine hydrochloride. This clinical trial was an attempt to discover the effects of intraperitoneal bupivacaine hydrochloride on alleviating postoperative pain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy., Methods: In general, 120 patients meeting the inclusion criteria were enrolled. Patients were randomly allocated into two interventions and control groups using a balanced block randomization technique. One group received intraperitoneal bupivacaine hydrochloride (30 cm
3 ), and the other group served as the control one and did not receive bupivacaine hydrochloride. Diclofenac suppository and paracetamol injection were administered to both groups for postoperative pain management., Results: The mean subjective postoperative pain score was significantly decreased in patients who received intraperitoneal bupivacaine hydrochloride within the first 24 h after the surgery; thus, the instillation of bupivacaine hydrochloride was beneficial in managing postoperative pain., Conclusions: The intraoperative peritoneal irrigation of bupivacaine hydrochloride (30 cm3 , 0.25%) in sleeve gastrectomy patients was safe and effective in reducing postoperative pain, nausea, and vomiting (IRCT2016120329181N4).- Published

- Abstract
Objective: In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between the survival rate of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and expression of two biomarkers along with age, gender, tumor margin, depth of invasion, site of tumor, tumor diameter, tumor grade, number of involved nodes, and vascular invasion., Materials and Methods: In this retrospective survey, medical records of patients referred to the Shohada-e Tajrish hospital during 2001 to 2005 were reviewed and subjects with definite diagnosis of SCC were included. Required data were extracted from the patients' records, and their prepared paraffin-embedded tissue blocks were collected under supervision of two pathologists. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis was performed at the Firoozgar hospital in Tehran, Iran., Results: The studied population included 20 men (74%) and 7 women (26%). The mean age at diagnosis was 58 ± 22. Results showed significantly higher survival rates in women compared to men (85.7 vs. 40%) (p = 0.001) and in patients with well-differentiated tumors compared to poor-differentiated cases (20 vs. 5%) (p = 0.004). No significant relationship was found between p53 expression and prognostic factors like age, gender, the site, grade, and size of the tumor, depth of invasion, involvement of lymph nodes, and vascular invasion., Conclusion: Positivity of p53 and cyclin D1 was not found to be predictive of survival in patients with esophageal SCC which might be due to the small sample size of the present survey. Further investigations with larger sample populations and longer follow-ups are required to evaluate this correlation.

- Abstract
Sulfur mustard (SM) is a toxic chemical agent that belongs to a class of vesicant compounds. In the 1980s it was used by the Iraqi army against Iranian forces. Sulfur mustard severely irritates the skin, eyes and lungs. The highest side effects seen in patients affected by this gas are pulmonary complications including different types of lung diseases such as bronchiolitis. It has also led to a certain type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease called mustard lung. Similar extra-pulmonary, molecular and hormonal effects can be observed in these patients and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Here cardiovascular complications may be one of the most dangerous visible effects. And atherosclerosis is probable following the direct effects or consequential long-term effects of SM. The development of atherosclerosis in these patients is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular and coronary artery disease. Coronary artery bypass grafting surgery is the treatment of coronary artery disease. Doing this surgery by bypass pump has its own morbidity and due to local and systemic inflammation changes in patients with SM pulmonary disorders it may have more side effects. Therefore, detailed knowledge of inflammatory diseases as well as the serum level or even the local lung fluid of the inflammatory factors in these patients before surgery are needed so that it would be possible to reduce the rate of morbidity and mortality by normalizing the inflammatory conditions of the patients before cardiac surgery.

- Abstract
Introduction: In young adults Stroke is a challenging condition and various tests are needed to diagnose and manage its underlying problems. Free floating thrombosis of internal carotid artery (FFT-ICA) is one of the rare problems among carotid artery diseases which can lead to stroke in adults. Owing to limited cases of FFT-ICA there is not a worldwide accepted consensus on management of FFT-ICA, but some recurrences after medical management have been reported in the literature., Presentation of Case: A-25-year old woman was referred to hospital with sudden onset aphasia and right sided hemiparesis. Carotid duplex ultrasonography showed an iso-echogenic thrombus ranged about 5×10mm partially attached to arterial wall of the right internal carotid artery. It was floating in accordance with the heartbeat. Anticoagulation therapy was initiated and subsequently she underwent an urgent operation. To explore the etiology of her problem, various lab tests were carried out; the results showed markedly elevated levels of lupus anticoagulant. She was discharged from hospital after an uneventful recovery showing gradual improvement of symptoms in follow-up visits., Discussion: FFT-ICA is one of the scarce disorders of carotid artery. Less than 150 cases have been reported in the literature indicating its common occurrence in old men. Hence the etiology of this case (FFT in a young patient with high levels of lupus anticoagulant antibody) may be the first of its type., Conclusion: In this case we chose surgical treatment resulting in complete resolution of symptoms and non-recurrence within 6 month follow-up., (Copyright © 2017 The Authors.

- Abstract
Background: Coronary artery spasm (CAS) is defined as a reversible, sudden epicardial coronary artery stenosis that causes vessel occlusion or near occlusion., Case Report: In this article, we present a clinical case of CAS in a 48-year-old woman undergoing elective aortic valve replacement surgery for aortic stenosis. On the 3rd post-operative day, the patient suffered from chest pain and dyspnea. Emergent coronary angiography demonstrated a significant spasm of the ostium portion of the right coronary artery., Conclusion: This case shows that delayed coronary spasm should be considered as a cause of hemodynamic instability after valvular surgery.

- Abstract
Most of the retinal blood vessel segmentation approaches use low level features, resulting in segmenting non-vessel structures together with vessel structures in pathological retinal images. In this paper, a new segmentation method based on high level features is proposed which can process the structure of vessel and non-vessel independently. In this method, segmentation is done in two steps. First, using low level features segmentation is accomplished. Second, using high level features, the non-vessel components are removed. For evaluation, STARE database is used which is publicly available in this field. The results show that the proposed method has 0.9536 accuracy and 0.0191 false positive average on all images of the database and 0.9542 accuracy and 0.0236 false positive average on pathological images. Therefore, the proposed approach shows acceptable accuracy on all images compared to other state of the art methods, and the least false positive average on pathological images.

Simultaneous a collision tumor of stomach consisting of adenocarcinoma and Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST) is very rare based on our knowledge. This coexistence has rarely been reported in literatures. We report a case of 64-year-old woman who has diagnosed with prepyloric poorly-differentiated diffuse signet-ring cell type adenocarcinoma and has undergone an elective D2 total gastrectomy. During operation another mass in fundic body region has found. The pathologic examination of the mass has shown GIST. Immunohistochemical staining for CD117 and Desmin was positive whilst that for S100 was negative. This case reports the simultaneous two tumors development of different histotypes and natures in the same organ.

- Abstract
Background: In candidate patients for permanent hemodialysis or dialysis on a regular basis, an appropriate vascular access has great importance. The best permanent access is AVF (arterio venous fistula). Use of a technique to create AVF with better patency seems to be logical., Objectives: The present study aimed to compare the efficacy rate of AVFs using two different anastomosis methods; Side to Side (STS) versus End to Side (ETS) and to determine whether the different approaches render any preferences or complications., Patients and Methods: Sixty end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients were included in this clinical trial in two assigned groups of 30 patients. In one group end to side method to create AVF was used while in the other group Side to Side technique was applied for access in surgery. Both groups were followed for duration of 6 months to assess patency. For evaluating the quantitive variables, t-test was used while qualitative variables were measured using the chi-square and Fisher`s exact tests., Results: In the 6 months duration, 6 patients (20%) in the STS (side to side) group and 5 patients (16.6%) in the ETS (end to side) group experienced a non-functional AVF. In the ETS group the failure was generally a result of thrombosed access while in the STS group, 4 out of 6 patients with complications, experienced thrombosis while the other 2 patients had venous hypertension. The total failure rate was 18.3% and during the 6 months of follow up no significant difference was detected in the efficacy rate. Nevertheless, in case of longer follow ups, different outcomes could be seen., Conclusions: This study demonstrated that there was no significant statistical difference between the functional patency rates of fistulae placed by STS or ETS methods.
