Malaria, Zika fever, chikungunya and dengue fever, etc., are among the diseases that mosquitoes are involved in transmitting. In nature, mosquito-borne viruses maintain a life cycle between mosquitoes and vertebrates. Malaria, transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes, remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Understanding mosquito ecology is crucial for malaria control efforts. Zika fever, associated with severe neurological complications, has emerged as a global concern, primarily transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. Urbanization facilitates the proliferation of Aedes populations, exacerbating viral transmission. Chikungunya, spread by Aedes mosquitoes, has expanded beyond endemic regions due to international travel, causing fever, rash, and joint pain. Dengue fever, caused by dengue viruses transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, witnesses a global resurgence, with climate factors influencing disease transmission dynamics. Effective mosquito control strategies are essential for mitigating the impact of these vector-borne diseases on global health. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of mosquito-borne diseases on human health and explore strategies for prevention and management.

Journal Article 2023 12 23 Introduction: Acute pain caused by kidney stones is considered one of the most prevalent reasons for referring to treatment centers or hospitals. One of the essential issues in this field, which still has many questions, is the probability of an increase in kidney stone formation during fasting. This study assessed the relationship between kidney stone pain and fasting during Ramadan. Methods: This study conducted a descriptive cross-sectional check on the patients who referred to 3 central urgencies named Imam Khomeini-Shahid Labafi Nejad and Baghiatallah due to Colic pain generated from kidney stones during three periods of time, including before, in, and after Ramadan. Results: The study indicates ureteral stones are more prevalent than kidney stones in patients with Kidney Colic Pain during three periods. Also, it was released that the most amount of Colic pain was experienced by males under 40 years during three periods of time, so there is a significant relevance between the male gender and Renal Colic (P<0.05). A noticeable change in diet and more usage of carbohydrate compounds in addition to high-protein diets was reported here, so there is a significant difference between more carbohydrates and Renal Colic before and after Ramadan (P=0.022). Conclusion: It is specified that factors such as male gender, age under 40, being overweight, high-calorie diet, and low physical activity are the risk factors associated with Renal Colic. Also, this study found that the reception of renal colic patients in Ramadan had no significant difference in another two months.

Considering the recent reports on viable but non-culturable cells (VBNC) in the synovial fluid and blood of patients, the role of bacteria has become more prominent. The present study aimed to use general and specific primers to detect microbiome in the blood of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: A general primer, called 16S rRNA was used in the present study to detect a wide range of bacteria in the blood of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Specific primers were designed and used such as nuc and rfbE to trace Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in patients' blood. Examining 102 blood samples and performing the genomic extraction separately for each sample, PCR was then performed using general and specific primers, and the results were sequenced. The findings were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: According to the results, in 102 blood samples of rheumatoid arthritis patients, who were negative for bacteriological culture, there were 74 cases (72.54%) of 16S rRNA gene, and 54 cases (52.9%) of Staphylococcus aureus nuc gene, respectively. Moreover, a specific gene, rfbE, was traced in 12 samples. Conclusion: The findings of the present study indicated the presence of microbiome in the blood of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Because the blast sequencing results of the PCR product showed a wide range of bacterial genomes. These findings may potentially improve the management of rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis and treatment.

Journal Article 2024 01 23 Introduction: The aging procedure is an incremental reduction in the human systems, including the heart and respiration, blood vessels, endocrine glands, urinary-genital, and immune systems. This investigation evaluated the association between the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) and Mizaj based on Persian medicine on thermal comfort of aging in sanatoriums in Mazandaran province in Iran. Methods: This research was accomplished at Rasht Azad University from June 2022 to December 2023 in sanatoriums of aging adults under actual circumstances. Ninety-six aging adults above 65 years old were included. PMV, weather moister, clothing cover, temperament (Mizaj) based on Persian medicine, and thermal comfort in 4 seasons were considered. Linear regression was used to evaluate the efficiency of the PMV index in estimating the thermal sensation of aging adults according to their Mizaj. Results: Temperament and sex shows a negative and significant relationship with thermal comfort (P<0.05). The regression model showed that individual characteristics such as temperament and gender affect the thermal comfort score and PMV (P<0.05). Conclusion: Therefore, to propose the desired coefficients in the correction of PMV values, we consider the effect of people's temperament and gender in the regression model.

The aim is to evaluate the capability of volume under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) surface (VUS) for concurrent differential diagnosis of glioblastoma (GBM), lymphoma (LYM), and metastatic tumor(s) (MTTs) lesions of brain malignancies. Methods: Investigated Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) included 57 GBM, 25 LYM, and 25 MTT that were pathological diagnoses, after MR imaging. Region of interest (ROI) was taken from tumor regions (TUMOR), enhancement area (ENHANCED), and peritumoral edema (EDEM) regions. ADC maps were obtained after selecting a region of interest, and First-Order Histogram Features (FOHs) were extracted. Statistical analysis was performed by MedCalc version 15.8 for comparison of continuous variables between three groups of lesions and plotting the ROC curves. For VUS and correct classification rates (CCR) calculations the R software v2.13.1 with the DiagTest3grp package was used. The confidence interval level was 95% for significant results. Diagnostic accuracy of ADC in the differentiation of mentioned three groups was performed using ROC surface. Results: ADCMin, ADC75 and ADC95 Percentile values in TUMOR groups of ROI, ADCMaximum, ADCMin, ADCMean, ADCMedian , ADCUniformity and ADCEntropy in ENHANCED and ADC25, ADC75, ADC95 Percentiles, ADCMean , ADCNormal Mean , ADCMedian, ADCEntropy, ADCThird Moment and ADCStandardDeviation in EDEM had significant VUS values results among GBM, LYM and MTTs . Conclusion: VUS analysis is a helpful statistical method for categorizing types of brain tumors. Using the application of FOHs and proposed cut-off points for them by the VUS analysis, the differentiation of more than two types of brain tumors would be possible, concurrently. This will help neurologists and neurosurgeons to plan their treatment and surgery or monitor the status of patients’ therapeutic needs.
