Abstract

Introduction: Nausea  and  vomiting  is  a  common  manifestation  in  anatomic  as  and  Functional  disorders, and  these  are  current  complications after  general  anesthesia  and  are  unpleasant  and  with  secondary  complications. Nausea  and  vomiting  are  the  most  common  complications  after  general  abesthesia.
Materials  and  Methods: In  this  study  we  compared  three  methods  which  one  of  them  is  acupressure  (non  invasive  and  non  medical  and  is  one  of  subtype  of  acupuncture)  with  other  methods  consisting  of  IV  metoclopramide  and  placebo.  This  controlled  study  was  done  in  teaching  Vali-Asr  hospital. Total  number  of  patients  was  420, type  of  sampling  was  random. Type  of  operation  was  laparotomy  and  all  of  them  had  general  anesthesia. We  divided  them  in  three  equal  groups  (acupressure  group, metoclopramide  group, and  placebo  group). In  this  study  we  used  from  history  and  examination  and  we  finished  puzzles  and  we  use  from  statistician.
Results:  we  concluded  that  there  is  no  valuable  difference  between  metoclopramide  and  acupressure  group ( with  considering  odds-Ratio  and  0.6).  we  resulted  that  with  using  from  acupressure  and  IV  metoclopramide  there  will  be  lesser  nausea  and  vomiting  when  comparing  these  two  groups  with  placebo.
Conclusion: We  compared  these  data  we  find  that  acupressure  is  a  suggestive  and  valuable  method  and  also  noninvasive  and  inexpensive  and  also  effective  method  in preventing  post   operative  nausea  and  vomiting.

Abstract

Background: Focal dystonia is a chronic disease with unwanted side effects. In addition to physical symptoms, some psychological problems, particularly depression, anxiety and stress are common in patients with focal dystonia. The aim of this study was investigating the effectiveness of medication in comparison to medication plus EMG biofeedback on depression, anxiety and stress in females with chronic focal dystonia.

Materials and Methods: This was an experimental/interventional study with pre, post, and follow-up phases. The sample was consisted of 20 female patients with spasmodic torticollis and 10 patients with blepharospasm. All of the patients have been already diagnosed by neurologist They were randomly selected and assigned into medication and medication plus EMG biofeedback groups. Both of the groups were treated with botulinum toxin type A and the second group in addition to receiving the drug for 10 weeks also participated in 20 sessions of EMG biofeedback treatment. Data were collected through the DASS-42 questionnaire which was completed in the pre-test, post-test, and follow-up phases.

Results: The mean of DASS-42 score in the Medication plus EMG biofeedback group showed a significantly higher decrease compared to the medication group (p<0.05).

Conclusion: The results suggested that medication plus EMG was more effective than medication alone in decreasing depression, anxiety and stress in females with chronic focal dystonia.

Abstract

Background: Vitamin D was recognized with protective effects on nerve cells of Parkinson’s patients. The relationship between several VDR gene polymorphisms and age and risk of the disease was determined. Also, the relationship between VDR gene FOKI genotypes and PD was specified. The main goal of this study is to evaluate the relationship between polymorphic loci of FokI, TaqI, BsmI, ApaI and serum factor related to vitamin D metabolism in Isfahan population.

Materials and Methods: Case- control study of 125 Parkinson’s patients with their matched control individuals has been investigated based on Parkinson's disease brain bank criteria of Great Britain. After receiving consent, serum levels were measured. The genetic material was isolated by Miller protocol and polymorphisms has been analyzed and confirmed by repeated PCR-RFLP.

Results: Comparing the five serum factors between healthy subjects and patients with Parkinson's disease, we have  shown a significant reduction in the levels of calcium, ALP and PTH (p<0.01). However, none of the levels of vitamin D and phosphate show any kind of significant relationship between patients and control subjects. Concentration of blood serumic factors including calcium and PTH showed p-values less than 0.01 between Parkinson's patients and control subjects according to different genotypes containing FokI-F allele,ApaI-A allele and BsmI-b allele .

Conclusion: The result of this study showed that each of FokI and ApaI recessive alleles can influence serum calcium and parathyroid hormone between healthy individuals and Parkinson's patients significantly.
