Introduction: When confronted with traumatic accidents and events that result in death, people are at risk of developing death anxiety. Due to their stressful job, emergency medical technicians (EMTs) will develop alexithymia and be unable to express and manage their emotions over time. Studies show that alexithymia causes physical and mental disorders in many people. The present study aimed to determine the relationship between death anxiety and alexithymia in EMTs.Methods: The convenience sampling method was used to select 400 EMTs in southeastern Iran who met the inclusion criteria for this descriptive-analytical study. The Templer Death Anxiety Scale and the Toronto Alexithymia Scale were used to collect data. SPSS version 20 was used to analyze the data, which included descriptive and analytical statistics (Independent t test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and regression). Results: The results of the study showed that the mean score of death anxiety in EMTs was 10.26 ± 3.69. It was revealed that 46.7% of the EMTs experienced severe death anxiety. Furthermore, the total mean score of alexithymia in EMTs was 59.65 ± 8.28, indicating the possibility of alexithymia. The Pearson correlation test showed a direct moderate relationship between death anxiety and alexithymia scores (r = .351, p < .001).Conclusion: According to the results, there is a direct significant relationship between death anxiety and alexithymia in EMTs. Therefore, it is suggested that EMTs be continuously taught effective methods to deal with death anxiety and reduce the physical and mental disorders caused by this problem.

The nature of a woman is childbirth, all women at the time of labor need to have a good labour  and give birth to a healthy and perfect baby. Childbirth can be normal, but also many in the process of labor that experienced obstacles so that it is done with the procedure of surgery sectio caesaria (SC). Childbirth with  surgery for some mothers is a scary thing so that not a few mothers who experience anxiety before SC is done. Anxiety is a feeling that is not clear and worried because there is something that threatens one's security. Anxiety in each person is certainly not the same, this anxiety can lead to various changes in the body's system can even interfere with heart function and result in changes in cardiac output. Changes in cardiac output may result in changes in the patient's blood pressure that may affect the success of SC. This research use correlational research design with csoss sectional approach. The location of research is premedication room of operation room of ORPEHA Islamic Hospital Tulungagung with the number of 32 respondents. The results showed the mean cardiac output value of 7625.62. The results of statistical data analysis with Pearson correlation test obtained 0,000 significance results so Ho is rejected which means there is an association between anxiety with cardiac output in patients with SC surgery with large correlation pearson 1, which means the strength of the relationship is very strong. This happens because anxiety can affect the production of catecholamines and cortisol, where this hormone can stimulate the occurrence of vasodilation of blood vessels resulting in blood flowing rapidly and much so that oxygen is distributed more, thus in people who are anxious will an increase in cardiac output. The conclusion of this study is that there is an association between anxiety with cardiac output in patients with preoperative sectio caesarea at the operating room installation of Islamic Orpeha tulungagung public hospital with the strength of the relationship of 1.

Background: Maxillofacial hard and soft tissues play an essential role in the formation of facial aesthetics. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between inferior scleral exposure and maxillary sagittal position. Methods: The present study was performed on the lateral cephalometric radiographs and frontal facial photographs of 110 adolescent subjects. The participants were divided into two equal groups according to gender (55 subjects per group). Total eye height and inferior scleral heights were defined, and scleral exposure ratios were calculated on facial photographs. The measurements were performed for right and left eyes, and the mean value for inferior scleral exposure ratio was calculated. Soft and hard tissue measurements of maxilla were performed on lateral cephalometric radiographs. Independent t test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Pearson correlation test were used to analyze the data. Results: There was no statistical difference between genders in the inferior scleral exposure ratio, NPerp_A, A’_True Vertical Line (TVL), and Upper Lip_TVL parameters (P>0.05). However, maxillary height was greater in male subjects than females (P < 0.001). The inferior scleral exposure ratio was statistically significantly correlated with NPerp_A distance in males (r=0.286; P < 0.05). However, there was no correlation between other maxillary parameters and inferior scleral exposure ratio in males (P>0.05). The inferior scleral exposure ratio was significantly correlated with maxillary height in females (r=-0.296; P < 0.05). However, there was no correlation between other maxillary parameters and inferior scleral exposure ratio in females (P>0.05). Conclusions: While the inferior scleral exposure ratio was correlated with NPerp_A distance in male adolescents, the inferior scleral exposure ratio was correlated with maxillary height in female adolescents.
