Abstract
Introduction Considering the importance of delirium disorder in burn patients and its complications, the present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the prevalence of delirium and its related factors in burn patients. Methods A comprehensive, systematic search was performed in different international electronic databases, such as Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science, as well as Persian electronic databases such as Iranmedex, and Scientific Information Database (SID) using keywords extracted from Medical Subject Headings such as "Prevalence", "Delirium", and "Burns" from the earliest to the 17th of July, 2023. Results In total, 2,710 burn patients participated in ten original studies. Among the participants, 64.6% were male. In the ten studies, the reported pooled prevalence of delirium among burn patients was 20.5% (95% CI: 10.9% to 35.0%; I2=96.889%; P<0.001). Also, factors such as total body surface area, duration of hospitalization, mortality, days on ventilator, alcoholism, benzodiazepine dose, methadone dose, age, male gender, ICU days, operation days, wound care under anesthesia, and opioid dose had a significant correlation with the prevalence of delirium in burn patients. Conclusion Health managers and policymakers can reduce the prevalence of delirium in burn patients by eliminating or reducing factors associated with it.

Abstract
Introduction Pain experienced during the insertion of a catheter into the arteriovenous fistula (AVF) and restless legs syndrome (RLS) are prevalent issues among Hemodialysis (HD) patients. The primary objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to consolidate the findings from randomized clinical trial (RCT) studies examining the impact of aromatherapy with lavender on the pain associated with AVF catheter insertion and RLS in HD patients. Methods A systematic search was conducted on PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane, Embase, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Google Scholar search engine from inception to August 1, 2022, using keywords extracted from Medical Subject Headings, such as "Aromatherapy", "Lavender", "Arteriovenous fistula", "Pain", "Restless legs syndrome", and "Hemodialysis". Results Finally, eleven articles were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. The results showed that aromatherapy reduced the average pain of catheter insertion in AVF compared to the control group (Standard Mean Difference: -1.60, 95% Confidence Interval: -2.32 to -0.87, Z=4.32, I2:90.3%, P<0.001). Also, aromatherapy massage reduced the average severity of RLS compared to the control group, which was statistically significant (Weighted Mean Difference: -13.21, 95% Confidence Interval: -17.50 to -8.91, Z=6.03, I2:93.0%, P<0.001). Also, the subgroup analysis showed that lavender in the intervention group significantly decreased the pain intensity compared to the "no intervention" group (P<0.001), yet it was not significant compared to the placebo group (P=0.12). Conclusion In summary, the findings indicate a notable reduction in catheter insertion pain in AVF and relief from RLS among HD patients through the use of lavender essential oil. As a result, future research is encouraged to include a comparison of lavender's effects with those of a placebo group.

Abstract
Introduction In the absence of timely treatment, the risk of rupture in patients with ectopic pregnancy (EP) increases, which is associated with extensive bleeding, complicated surgery, and maternal death. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of rupture and its related factors among EP cases. Methods A comprehensive, systematic search was conducted in electronic databases, such as Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Persian electronic databases such as Iranmedex, and Scientific Information Database using keywords extracted from Medical Subject Headings such as "Ectopic pregnancies", "Extrauterine pregnancies", and "Ruptured ectopic pregnancy" from the earliest to the 13th of December 2022. The CMA program, version 3, was utilized for analysis. The overall effect size was calculated using the sample size and the frequency of rupture in each of the studies. Heterogeneity was measured using the I2 statistics. Results A total of 5,269 women with EP participated in 17 studies. The pooled prevalence of rupture was 56.4% (95%CI: 44.9% to 67.2%; I2=98.09%; P<0.001). Factors such as number of parties, amount of β-hCG, age, history of ectopic pregnancy, cornual and isthmic pregnancies, gestational age, number of gravidities, history of tubal ligation, tubal diameters, periods of infertility, history of infertility, pregnancy by ovulation induction, extensive hemoperitoneum, ampullar and isthmic pregnancies, ampullar pregnancies, preoperative heart rate (HR), triage, triage shock index (SI), abdominal pain, single marital status, preoperative hemoglobin levels, preoperative hematocrit levels, history of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and use of contraceptives were associated with the prevalence of rupture in EP cases. Conclusion Based on the findings, 56.4% of EP cases experienced rupture and various factors influence its prevalence. As a result, health managers and policymakers can address and mitigate modifiable factors contributing to rupture in EP cases by implementing regular consultations and screenings.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC) is the ninth most common cancer worldwide with a mortality of over 500,000 deaths yearly. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by surgery is the standard of care (SOC) for locally advanced OAC. Although almost all patients receive chemotherapy as SOC, fewer than 20% obtain a clinically meaningful response and benefit before surgery. The OAC genome is complex and heterogeneous between patients, and it is not yet understood whether specific mutational patterns result in chemotherapy sensitivity or resistance.
Methods
To identify associations between genomic events and response to NAC in OAC, a comparative genomic analysis was performed in 65 patients using whole-genome sequencing. We defined response to NAC using Mandard Tumour Regression Grade TRG), with responders classified as TRG1-2 (n=27) and non-responders classified as TRG4- 5 (n=38).
Results
We report a higher non-synonymous mutation burden in responders (median 2.08/Mb vs 1.70/Mb, P=0.036) and elevated copy number variation (CNV) in non-responders (282 vs 136/patient, P<0.001). We identified CNVs unique to each group, with cell cycle (CDKN2A, CCND1), c-Myc (MYC), RTK/PIK3 (KRAS, EGFR) and gastrointestinal differentiation (GATA6) pathway genes being specifically altered in non-responders. Of particular interest was the identification of the Neuron Navigator-3 (NAV3), a known tumour suppressor downstream of EGFR, which was mutated exclusively in 22% of non-responders.
Conclusion
We characterise genetic features and mutations that are uniquely associated with response to NAC. We envision a treatment pipeline that incorporates driver mutation profiling in OAC, combining response prediction with targeted therapies enhancing response to NAC and improving survival outcomes.
Take-home message
Developing a method of determining an OAC patient's response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy before treatment is administered is desperately needed and will improve patient outcome and quality of life. We identified a number of aberrations in the genome that were unique to non-responders to chemotherapy compared to responders, particularly a known tumour suppressor gene namely Neuron Navigator-3, suggesting that these events may contribute to chemoresistance in these patients. Our work characterises pre-existing genomic alterations that have potential as biomarkers for resistance or sensitivity to NAC.

Abstract
In this contribution, we report a comprehensive study on the formation of hexachlorobenzene (C6Cl6) negative ions probed by low-energy electron interactions from 0 up to 12 eV in a gas-phase crossed beam experiment. The anionic yields as a function of the electron energy reveal a rich fragmentation pattern of the dissociative electron attachment process, yet the most intense ion has been assigned to the non-dissociated parent anion that survives long enough within the detection time window. Other less intense fragment anions have been assigned as Cl-, Cl2-, C6Cl4-, and C6Cl5-. The experimental results are accompanied by quantum chemical calculations at various levels of accuracy, providing an insight into the electronic structure, thermochemical thresholds, electron affinities and structures of neutral and anionic molecular species. The electron attachment process induces a considerable geometry change in the temporary-negative ion relative to the neutral molecule, where the most intense fragment anion assigned to Cl- can be formed solely through a curve crossing involving a π*/σ* coupling. The yield of chlorine anions shows a signature of vibrational excitation reminiscent of a Jahn-Teller distortion.

Abstract
Plant invasion is recognized as the second most severe threat to biodiversity, following habitat loss. As one of the world's worst invasive alien plant species, Prosopis juliflora (Mesquite) has severely affected the majority of the Earth's dry ecosystems. Hence, this study attempted to identify the distribution, dominance, and changes in the vegetation characteristics of Mesquite-invaded regions along a series of coastal ecosystems in Southern Iran. Mesquite and other tree/shrub types were successfully classified using a temporarily-median-filtered Landsat 8-OLI image with acceptable kappa coefficient and overall accuracy values of 80.66 and 84.75, respectively. The multi-resolution segmentation was used to divide the region into spectrally homogenous parcels, then calculating the percentage cover (dominance) of Mesquite relative to other tree/shrub types. Analysis of MODIS NDVI products in highly invaded parcels showed a steady increase in NDVI values from 0.27 to 0.53 during 2000-2020 with a significant difference (z = -3.12, 0.183, sig ≤ .05, 2-tailed) from that of the low-invaded regions whose NDVI values oscillated constantly in a range between 0.15 and 0.28. Mesquite distribution also showed a local invasion pattern from areas with a steady or saturated status to neighboring parcels. In regions susceptible to Mesquite invasion, constant investigation of uncommon changes in NDVI whose vegetation characteristics differ significantly from that expected in poor dry vegetation covers of southern Iran can be considered as a conservation tool to identify and manage areas with early Mesquite establishment.

Abstract
Abstract
Aims
We currently cannot predict which patients with locally advanced oesophageal adenocarcinoma will be amongst the 15-20% to gain a clinically important response to neoadjuvant therapy (NAT). This pilot study aimed to identify differentially expressed genes from oesophageal adenocarcinoma pre-treatment biopsies between responders and non-responders to NAT and develop methodology for predicting response.
Method
Response to NAT was assessed pathologically using Tumour Regression Grading (TRG). Pre-treatment formalin-fixed paraffin embedded samples were analysed with two nuclease protection assays (EdgeSeq, HTG = Oncology Biomarker Panel (OBP) and Precision Immuno-Oncology Panel (PIP)). Sequencing was performed on the NextSeq500 (Illumina).
Result
Whilst there was no difference in pre-treatment characteristics, responders (TRG1-2, n=26) had significantly better post-treatment pathology and overall survival than non-responders (TRG4-5, n=30). Genes up-regulated in responders were involved in regulating cell cycling, whereas genes up-regulated in non-responders were involved in cytokine signalling and the immune response. Neuronal artificial network models could predict response to NAT with overall accuracy of 73% and 68% for the OBP and PIP, respectively, which is promising considering the small sample size. As no model will be 100% accurate, we developed a model that could take patient's views into consideration with an adjustable probability threshold for classification.
Conclusion
This pilot study informs a biologically sound hypothesis for the basis of response to NAT and suggests prediction from pre-treatment biopsies may be possible using EdgeSeq. We now aim to validate these results in a larger study to inform a bespoke classifier of response to enable delivery of precision therapy.
Take-home message
In oesophageal adenocarcinoma, responders and non-responders to neoadjuvant therapy have different expression profiles. Through using EdgeSeq in larger studies, we may be able to predict which patients will respond to treatment, allowing for delivery of precision therapy.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) to examine the effect of grapes/grape products supplementation on glycemic indices in adults. Our systematic search to find relevant RCTs was performed up to February 2020 using PubMed, Scopus, ISI Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar. Based on the heterogeneity between included studies, a random effects or a fixed model was applied in the meta-analysis, and results were expressed as weighted mean differences (WMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Twenty-nine clinical trials (1,297 participants) fulfilled the eligibility criteria of the present meta-analysis. Overall, the grapes/grape products supplementation significantly reduced homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (WMD: -0.54, 95% CI: -0.91, -0.17, p = . 004) but did not affect fasting insulin levels (WMD: -0.90 μIU/ml, 95% CI: -1.04, 2.84, p = .362) and hemoglobin A1C (Hb1Ac) percentage (WMD: 0.00%, 95% CI: -0.10, 0.11, p = . 916) in the main analyses. In addition, changes to fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels were in favor of the control group (WMD: 1.19 mg/dl, 95% CI: 0.05, 2.34, p = .041). We found that giving grapes/grape products to adults might have beneficial effects on the HOMA-IR. Further, large-scale RCTs with longer duration are required to confirm these results.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to examine the effect of cinnamon supplementation on liver enzymes. METHODS A systematic search was performed in electronic databases including PubMed-Medline, Scopus, and ISI Web of Science up to November 2020. We used a random effects model to estimate pooled effect size of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels. RESULTS Seven RCTs (9 treatment arms) fulfilled the eligibility criteria of the present meta-analysis. Overall, meta-analysis could not show any beneficial effect of cinnamon supplementation on AST, ALT, and ALP. Subgroup analyses showed that the effect of cinnamon supplementation on ALT was significant at the dosages of <1500 mg/day (Hedges's: -0.61; 95 % CI: -1.11, -0.10; P = 0.002), in trials lasting>12 weeks (Hedges's: -0.83; 95 % CI: -1.36, -0.30; P = 0.01), and in trials conducted of both gender (Hedges's: -0.72; 95 % CI: -1.45, -0.01; P = 0.04). CONCLUSION In summary, cinnamon supplementation had no significant effect on liver enzymes in adults. However, the effect of cinnamon on ALT levels was significant at the dosages of <1500 mg/day, in trials lasting>12 weeks, and in trials conducted of both gender. Nevertheless, further studies should be performed to confirm our results.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of sour tea supplementation in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Seventy NAFLD patients were enrolled in this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Participants received sour tea in the form of a 450 mg capsule or a placebo capsule daily for 8 weeks. Anthropometric indices, liver enzymes, lipid profile, blood pressure, and antioxidant status were evaluated at the baseline and at the end of the study. Sixty-one participants completed the study. After 8 weeks, sour tea administration significantly decreased serum triglyceride (TG) (p = .03), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (p = .01), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (p = .004) levels compared with the placebo. In addition, sour tea supplementation resulted in a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure (SBP) (p = .03) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (p = .04), and a significant increase in serum total antioxidant capacity (TAC) levels (p ˂ .001) compared with the placebo. However, no significant changes in anthropometric measures, total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) levels were observed after sour tea supplementation compared with the placebo (p > .05). Sour tea supplementation may be effective in improving serum TG, liver enzymes, and blood pressure in patients diagnosed with NAFLD. Further studies are needed to address the exact mechanism of action of these effects.

Abstract
Spinal anesthesia is a common anesthesia method and post dural puncture headache (PDPH) is one of its most common adverse effects. Gabapentin is a popular anticonvulsant drug that has been used as an oral nonopioid analgesic in recent years. In this placebo-controlled double-blind study, 120 patients were randomized in two equal groups (Placebo or gabapentin). The patients in the gabapentin group received gabapentin 300 mg orally one hour before the surgery and then every 12 hours for the first 24 hours after the surgery while the placebo group received placebos in the same way. Severity of headache and postoperative pain assessed by verbal rating score for pain (VRSP), morphine consumption, nausea, vomiting, somnolence, pruritus, dizziness in the first 48 hours, hypertension, hypotension, bradycardia and tachycardia in the first 24 hours after the surgery were recorded. In first 48 hour after surgery the mean of severity of headache in the gabapentin group was 0.20±0.05, and in the placebo group it was 0.93±0.01. The mean of postoperative pain in the gabapentin group was2.25±0.793, and in the placebo group it was3.77±0.813. In the first 24 hours post operative the mean of morphine consumptions were 0.20±0.030 and 0.32±0.0 30 mg in gabapentin and placebo groups. No significant differences were found between the two groups regarding incidence rate of the adverse effects. In this study, administration of gabapentin decreased the incidence and severity of post spinal anesthesia headache, postoperative pain and morphine consumption, without any significant differences in serious adverse effects.

Abstract
Lipoid proteinosis (LP) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder. Classical clinical features include warty skin infiltration, papules on the eyelids, skin scarring, as well as extracutaneous abnormalities such as hoarseness of the voice, epilepsy, and neuropsychiatric abnormalities. A defect in the ECM1 gene is responsible for this disease. A 21-year-old female patient from consanguineous parents (first cousins) was referred to our clinic with many symptoms of LP, such as hoarse voice from infancy, diffuse acneiform scars on her face, and hyperkeratosis on her knees and elbows. The entire ECM1 gene was screened using PCR and sequencing. A novel missense mutation was found in exon 7 of this patient. We report a novel missense mutation in exon 7 of the ECM1 gene found in an Iranian LP patient that causes a C269Y amino acid exchange.

Abstract
Microsatellite marker LEI0258 was used as an indicator to examine the variability of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region in 2 commercial layer flocks, 1 experimental layer cross, and 5 noncommercial flocks (used for free-run and free-range meat and egg production). We hypothesized that the populations from noncommercial sources may have more diversity in MHC genes than that in the commercial-source populations. Two related parameters, heterozygosity and the number of alleles harbored by a population, were used to assess the genetic variability. The different combinations of the 22 alleles created 66 genotypes in the 8 chicken populations that were studied. The noncommercial populations, except for the Silkies (SK), harbored more alleles than those in the 2 commercial populations, Lohmann Brown and Lohmann White. The observed heterozygosity of the MHC region was high in all of the populations, except for SK. Considering the 2 parameters we have examined, we can generalize that the intensively selected commercial egg-layer varieties seem to have less genetic variability in their MHC regions compared with that of the noncommercial flocks, which are less intensively selected. The LEI0258 variants can be used as markers to detect most of the MHC haplotypes, but in the different populations the same allele size may not always be associated with the same serologically defined haplotype. The information obtained from this study will be useful for genetic resource conservation and the development of breeding stocks that are suitable for free-range production.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To estimate the prevalence and risk factors of peripheral neuropathy (PN) in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS A total of 810 patients with type 2 diabetes (289 men and 521 women) from Isfahan Endocrinology and Metabolism Research Centre outpatient clinics, Iran, were examined. Part of examination included an assessment of neurological function including neuropathic symptoms and physical signs and nerve conduction velocity. RESULTS The prevalence of PN was 75.1% (95% confidence interval 72.1, 78.0). PN was associated with age, proteinuria, and duration of diabetes, insulin-treatment, and presence of any retinopathy and ischaemic heart disease (IHD). The age-adjusted prevalence rate of PN was 78% higher among patients with IHD, 64% higher among patients with any retinopathy, 66% higher among insulin-treated type 2 diabetes, and it was greater with duration of diabetes. Using a stepwise binary logistic regression model, age, duration of diabetes and proteinuria were significant independent predictors of PN. CONCLUSION Peripheral neuropathy is a common complication in this population of Iranian type 2 diabetic patients. It increases with age, duration of diabetes and proteinuria.
