Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 137 students (42 male and 95 female, mean age: 21.99±1.54) of Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences in Bandar Abbas, Iran from January 2008 to December 2009. A questionnaire was used to collect the data. Then height, weight, BMI, systolic and diastolic blood pressure were measured on all participants. Blood sample was also taken for the measurement of glucose and lipid profile. Finally, the incidence rate of cardiovascular risk factors among students were analysed by Chi-Square, ANOVA and t-test. Results: It was observed that 21% of students (30 cases) expose at least one coronary artery disease risk factor. The prevalence of HDL, smoking, high total cholesterol, LDL, high body mass index, family history of early onset coronary heart disease, hypertension, inadequate physical activity and hypertension was 46.7%, 29.19%, 21.2%,19%, 17.5%, 14.6%, 10.9%,10.9%, respectively. There was no difference between sex and incidence rate of cardiovascular risk factors except hypertension. High blood pressure was more prevalent in men than women (P=0.01). Conclusion: This study showed that the cardiovascular risk factors are common in young population; particularly of low HDL, smoking, and high total cholesterol. These findings imply that life style change should be considered via special training programs to decrease the high incidence rate of cardiovascular disease in the middle age.}, Keywords = {Risk Factors,Young People,Dyslipidemias,Iran,}, volume = {18}, Number = {6}, pages = {441-447}, publisher = {Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences}, title_fa = {Assessment of cardiovascular disease risk factors in an Iranian young population}, abstract_fa ={Introduction: The study was carried out to assess the incidence of cardiovascular risk factors in an Iranian young population.

Increased use of the current antifungal drugs cause drug resistance among Candida species. In order to gain suitable antifungal therapy for this disease, we investigated the activity of synergism of fluconazole and terbinafine comparing with cyclopirox olamine, against non-albicans Candida species isolated from recurrent candidal vaginitis. Methods: This study was carried out on 44 strains of non-albicans Candida species that were isolated from patients with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis. Antifungal susceptibility testing of fluconazole and terbinafine alone and combination of these drugs on non- albicans species were determined by Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) microdilution method (document M27-A2).

Conclusion: The higher level of learning in higher cognitive level and the preference of the students to GDL compared to lecture indicates their attention to active more modern learning methods. Student-centered learning methods by reinforcing the sense of group participation among the students motivate them to further study and enhance learning in higher levels of cognition.}, keywords_fa = {Learning,Satisfaction,Nursing Students,}, url = {http://hmj.hums.ac.ir/article-1-1538-en.html}, eprint = {http://hmj.hums.ac.ir/article-1-1538-en.pdf}, journal = {Hormozgan Medical Journal}, issn = {2423-3528}, eissn = {2423-3536}, year = {2015} } @article{ author = {Sayadinia, Mehr}, title = {Abdominal tuberculosis and thrombosis of inferior vena cava: a case report}, abstract ={Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is an ancient disease.

Up to date, several extensive studies have been carried out to determine the correlation between EMT and cancer and their results have shown that the EMT plays pivotal role in initiation of metastasis, invasion and recurrence of cancer besides drug resistance. In this pathway which is occurred naturally during fetal development and wound healing, cellular phenotype undergone various changes as well as increased in capability of migration and invasion and the involved epithelial cells transform to semi-fibroblast mesenchymal cells. There are some reports that have shown that mesenchymal cells share the same gene expression and phenotype profile with cancer stem cells (CSCs).

Up to date, several extensive studies have been carried out to determine the correlation between EMT and cancer and their results have shown that the EMT plays pivotal role in initiation of metastasis, invasion and recurrence of cancer besides drug resistance. In this pathway which is occurred naturally during fetal development and wound healing, cellular phenotype undergone various changes as well as increased in capability of migration and invasion and the involved epithelial cells transform to semi-fibroblast mesenchymal cells.

All participants were involved in the study by non-probability and consecutive sampling method. The normal group was matched with the TBI group in terms of age, gender and education level. The Bender Gestalt Test, neurological and dissectional information questionnaire, the demographic variable lists of the patients and the mini-mental examination test (MMSE) were used to collect the data. Results: Findings showed that patients with TBI showed more frequency in Gestalt test's dozen errors than the normal group. The discriminant validity coefficient showed that, in total 98.3% of the participants had been placed correctly in two normal and patient groups. The concurrent validity coefficient with the MMSE was -0.53 and the item-total correlation of this test were in a range of 0.10 to 0.48. The replicability results of this test among three examiners through intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) calculations were 0.81 and the cronbach's Alpha coefficient for the total sample was 0.85. Conclusion: This test has an acceptable discriminant and replicability strength. Regarding the obtained validity and reliability coefficients, it is recommended that this test be applied with the paraclinical diagnostic tools (such as CT-scan and MRI) as the screening tools in patients with TBI.}, keywords_fa = {Bender,Gestalt Test,Brain Injures,Validity,}, url = {http://hmj.hums.ac.ir/article-1-1742-en.html}, eprint = {http://hmj.hums.ac.ir/article-1-1742-en.pdf}, journal = {Hormozgan Medical Journal}, issn = {2423-3528}, eissn = {2423-3536}, year = {2014} } @article{ author = {Rezaienasab, Tayebeh and Salehi, Ieraj and Kafi, Seyyed Moosa and Rezaei, Saj}, title = {The validity, diagnostic value and replicability of Bender Visual-Motor Gestalt Test in traumatic brain injury patients}, abstract ={Introduction: Bender Gestalt test is one of the most famous neuropsychological tests that is simple and it can be used to examine brain injuries.

Mapping distribution of endemic diseases with their relations to geographical factors has become important for public health experts. This study was carried out to provide the distribution maps of the geographical pathology of Malaria in Iran with emphasis on its vectors. Methods: A systematic literature review was performed and the data and/or metadata were used for evaluation of findings. All available articles and books were used for mapping vectors and parasites, data of Malaria cases were obtained from Iran Center for Diseases Control, Ministry of Health in 2010. Incidence or prevalence of the diseases and also scientific names of vectors with collection details were arranged and mapped as a shapefile in ArcGIS software. Results: About 28 different Anopheles species are found in Iran. Seven maps provided for the main vectors in the country. Distribution maps generated for Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax and co- infection cases. Distribution maps of transmission and endemic areas are provided. Out of 11668 indigenous and transmitted malaria from imported cases in three years leading to 2010, about 9400 cases occurred in south parts of the country where the weather is influenced by Afrotropical zoogeographic region, while 2200 cases occurred in the southeast corner of the country where the weather is influenced by Indo-malayan and only 25 cases were reported in the typical Palearctic area of Iran. Conclusion: Most malaria cases occurred in the southeast corner in Sistan Baluchistan, Hormozgan and south parts of Kerman. There are similarities between malaria transmission conditions in Iran and many tropical and subtropical countries. Such information on vectors, incidence of all cases and environmental factors can be used to set a Malaria Early Warning System and help to prevent and control of malaria.}, Keywords = {Malaria,Anopheles,Mapping,Iran,}, volume = {18}, Number = {5}, pages = {428-440}, publisher = {Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences}, title_fa = {An overview and mapping of Malaria and its vectors in Iran}, abstract_fa ={Introduction: In spite of public health level improvement in Iran, Malaria is still an important health problem in the southeast corner of the country. Mapping distribution of endemic diseases with their relations to geographical factors has become important for public health experts. This study was carried out to provide the distribution maps of the geographical pathology of Malaria in Iran with emphasis on its vectors. Methods: A systematic literature review was performed and the data and/or metadata were used for evaluation of findings. All available articles and books were used for mapping vectors and parasites, data of Malaria cases were obtained from Iran Center for Diseases Control, Ministry of Health in 2010.
