Objective: Striae happen to 50–90% of pregnant women and never disappears completely. It is, therefore, a major aesthetic concern for most women, which can cause psychological distress and disturbed body image. This study was conducted to examine the effectiveness of the topical use of apple vinegar on striae gravidarum.Methods: This randomized controlled clinical trial study was conducted on 23 women referred to health centers in Gonabad city, selected according to inclusion criteria and systematic random method. The right half of the abdomen in each participant was considered as a trial group and the left half as the control. On the trial side, apple vinegar was massaged onto striae twice daily for 1 month. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, checklist of striae aesthetic change, a pair of calipers and a camera and analyzed in SPSS-20 using descriptive statistics, paired t, and Wilcoxon tests at significance level p<0.05.Results: No significant change was observed in mean length and width of striae in either trial or control sides after the intervention (p>0.05). However, on the trial side, the difference between striae length and width before and after the intervention was statistically significant (p<0.001). A significant difference was observed during intervention in the reduction in striae length and width on trial side (p<0.001).Conclusion: Topical application of apple vinegar effectively reduces the size of striae. Further and longer studies with larger sample size are recommended.

Introduction. The aim of this study was to determine sensitivity of composite materials to ambient light by a modified standard ISO 4049:2000 and clinical working time. Materials and Methods. The following materials were tested: nano-hybrid Herculite XRV Ultra (Kerr), micro-hybrid Herculite XRV (Kerr), Zmack (Zhermack), SuperCor (SpofaDental) and Valux Plus (3M ESPE). Five samples in each group were exposed to ambient light of 8000 lx, which comprised dental unit light and natural light. After 60 sec of exposure, each sample was visually examined for signs of inhomogeneity meaning that material did not pass the test. Clinical working time was studied by applying a custom-built, standardized indenter into composite specimens of about 2 mm thickness during the same exposure to ambient light. Completion of polymerization was tested by dissolving samples in ethanol and measuring the difference in thickness before and after the test. Results were statistically analyzed using ANOVA at the significance level of 0.05. Results. Only Herculite XRV Ultra passed the test of sensitivity to ambient light, while other materials showed signs of inhomogeneity. Herculite XRV Ultra showed significantly longer working time than other composites, the average was 250 sec (p<0.05). The mean values of working time for other materials ranged between 117-131 sec and there was no significant difference between them (p>0.05). Conclusion. Due to the lower sensitivity to ambient light and significantly longer clinical working time compared to micro-hybrid composites, Herculite XRV Ultra can be recommended for clinical procedures that require prolonged working time with material in plastic condition.

Abstract Background: recently, use of HT35 receptor antagonists to prevent postoperative shivering has attracted a great deal of attention. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effectiveness of granisetron as an HT35 antagonist when compared with ondansetron and pethidine in preventing postoperative shivering. Methods: in this triple blind random clinical trial study, 90 patients 18-50 years of age with ASA Class I and II undergoing general anesthesia were randomly assigned into one of the three drug groups: O (4-mg ondansetron), G (40 μg/kg of granisetron), and P (25 mg pethidine), immediately before induction of anesthesia. After anesthesia induction, at the end of the surgery, after the entrance and after leaving the recovery state, central temperature, peripheral temperature, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, and shivering were measured and recorded. P-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: in the pethidine, ondansetron, and granisetron groups, 4 (13.3%), 3 (10%), and 10 (33.3%) of patients experienced shivering during recovery, where the difference between the ondansetron and granisetron groups was significant (p-value=0.02). The variations in the mean arterial pressure during the investigation stages were not significant only in the ondansetron group (p>0.05). At the beginning of recovery, the reduction of peripheral temperature was significantly lower in the ondansetron group (p<0.05), while reduction of the central temperature was higher in the granisetron group (p<0.05). By the end of the recovery, the changes in the peripheral temperature across the three groups were consistent with the changes at the beginning of recovery, but no significant difference was observed variations of the central temperature across the three groups. Conclusion: Granisetron was not found to be much effective in preventing postoperative shivering. Ondansetron and pethidine were equally effective in preventing postoperative shivering. Ondansetron also causes less hemodynamic changes compared to other drugs, while granisetron is more effective in terms of preventing nausea and vomiting

Purpose: For this study the effect of skin disinfection according to the disinfection frequency in peripheral intravenous therapy was examined.Methods: One hundred and twenty skin disinfections, three sections on the right forearm and three sections on the left forearm, were performed on each of 20 seniors in the school of nursing, and 240 microbial cultures were performed before and after the skin disinfection at each site. Single-use sterile packaged 83% alcohol cotton was used to disinfect. The skin was disinfected once, twice, or three times for 5 seconds per session and then allowed to dry for one minute. The data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and the Generalized Estimation Equation (GEE).Results: There was no significant difference in the number of microbial colonies by the number of disinfections (<i>p</i>=.599) as well as the number of microbial colonies among those disinfected the same number of times (<i>p</i>=.440). However, the number of microbial colonies after disinfection was significantly lower than that before disinfection (<i>p</i><.001). The interaction effect, which was the difference in the decrease of microbial colonies by the number of disinfections, was not significant (<i>p</i>=.101).Conclusion: Prior to peripheral intravenous injection, disinfecting the skin once for five seconds with an 83% alcohol swab was as effective as disinfecting it twice for 10 seconds or three times for 15 seconds. Therefore, disinfecting the skin thoroughly for 5 seconds or more with an 83% alcohol cotton swab is sufficient for peripheral vein injections in the clinical field.
