Abstract
Background & Objectives: Burns is one the important injuries which may result vital impairment and
disability. Burn injuries are still common particularly in developing
countries. Assessment of the epidemiology of burns is very important to make
effective preventive methods. This study was conducted in Fars province to
assess and describe the epidemiology of burns including its main causes, and
its demographic factors.
Methods: All epidemiological data of patients with burn admitted to the
hospitals in Fars province during 2010 were analyzed in this descriptive study.
Results: Total
of 328 patients with mean age 25.93±17.94 were included. It consisted of 178
male patients (54.3%) and 150 female patients (45.7%), The most common accident
age was 26 years, the average percentage of burn was 36.63± 26.63%, average
hospital stay in hospital was 13.40±12.72 days, 249 cases had unintentional
injury (91/75%) and 79 cased had intentional (24.9%), The main reason for intentional burns was divorce (16.76%), the
most common month accident was December, the overall cumulative incidence of
burn injuries was 7.28% in 100000 people (person per year) and the burn
fatality rate was 29.88%
Conclusion: Epidemiology
of burn injuries in Fars province indicates that effective public health

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Sleep disorders are common issues in people's health and can be related to metabolic and kidney diseases. Studies have shown that the relationship between proteinuria and sleep disorders can be modified. Since this relationship has not been investigated in Iranian populations, this study examined the relationship between proteinuria and sleep in the Azar cohort population.
Methods: This cross-sectional study used data from the Azar cohort study with a population of 15,000. Based on the study's inclusion and exclusion criteria, 105 patients with proteinuria were selected. After age and sex matching, 420 patients without proteinuria were included in the control group. The patients' sleep patterns were assessed based on a designed questionnaire, and the results were compared between the two groups.
Results: None of the sleep factors significantly differed between the two groups with and without proteinuria (P>0.05). Moreover, the mean weight, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and body mass index (BMI) were significantly different in the two groups (P<0.001).
Conclusion: There was no significant relationship between proteinuria and sleep in the Azar cohort population. However, the weight, BMI, waist circumference, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure significantly differed between people with and without proteinuria.
