Chemotherapy as a common modality might have several consequences such as nausea and vomiting. Metoclopramide, anti-5HI3, antagonist and benzodiazepines are used to decrease vomiting symptoms. However, the effectiveness of benzodiazepine is unknown so far. This study aimed to evaluate the role of Lorazepam in decreasing of metoclopramide dosage. Materials and methods: Seventy consecutive patients were sampled to assess the outcome. Lorazepam was randomly added to premedication drugs in one of two chemotherapy courses for all patients. The lorazepam proscribed one night before chemotherapy and continued for three days after chemotherapy every 12 hours. Results: The frequency and severity of nausea showed a significant decrease with lorazepam vs. grade II+ acute decrease from 85% to 53% (p<0.0001), grade II+ delayed nausea decrease from 86.2% to 55% (p<0.0001), grade II+ delayed vomiting decrease from 69.14% to 13% (p<0.0001).

This study measured the rates of variation within well-defined epitopes to determine associations with the HLA-linked exposure of disease progression. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between HLA and disease progression among Iranian HIV/AIDS patients in comparison with general population.

Materials and methods: This is an applied, cross-sectional and descriptive study which carried out using three-year information of energy usage in studied hospital with consideration to reformative actions in order to reduce energy use through managing it. Data were compared using internal and external benchmarking methods. Results: Since studied hospital was implemented energy use management methods, therefore, results showed a descending trend in water and gas use (according to active bed day and occupied bed rate). Both water and gas use was reduced to 31% and 28% in 2010 in comparison with 2008 (basic year). Although, usage rate of electricity (considering bed indices) was also decreased to 10.5% in 2009 in comparison to 2008, it had an increase trend of 5% in 2010 due to applying development and growth strategies. Moreover, if taking “number of patients” index into account, electricity use was reduced to 7% in 2010 compare to 2008. On average, in 3-year period of study, water use was 1.63 times the standard value and electricity was 13.2 and 1.44 times the standard value per active bed day and square meter infrastructure, respectively.

Materials and methods: This article has been update by searching in databases including: Scopuse, Medline, Embase and Aviation Medicine text books. Results: In this article we aimed to prepare an overview of neurology in aviation using current standard guidelines. These guidelines cover a range of neurological conditions such as: headache, seizures degeneration diseases, and peripheral neuropathy. Also, the role of routine neurophysiologic testing is discussed. Conclusion: As Neurological disorders are classified as one of the most prevalent reasons for disqualification among air-crew members, more research is needed to assess the impacts of decompression on neurological function.}, Keywords = {Neurology, Aviation, guideline}, volume = {14}, Number = {3}, pages = {49-55}, publisher = {Islamic Republic of Iran/ Air Force Health Administration}, url = {http://ebnesina.ajaums.ac.ir/article-1-27-en.html}, eprint = {http://ebnesina.ajaums.ac.ir/article-1-27-en.pdf}, journal = {EBNESINA}, issn = {1735-9503}, eissn = {2645-4653}, year = {2011} }
