Abstract
Background: Rotational deformity after intramedullary nailing is a well-known complication. Femoral malrotation is the most common form of mal::::union:::: but it is underrecognized in part because of the difficulty in accurately assessing rotation as well as the variation that exists in normal anatomy. The aim of this study was to evaluate femoral malrotation following intramedullary nailing of the femur.
Methods: We studied 70 patients who had referred to Imam Khomeini Hospital and had undergone antegrade intramedullary fixation for isolated femoral shaft fracture during 3-year period from 2008 to 2011. Inclusion criteria including isolated femoral shaft fracture that had undergone antegrade intramedullary nailing. Exclusion criteria including spontaneous ipsilateral tibial fracture or pelvic fracture, contralateral femoral fracture, femoral fracture that had fixed using plate or external fixator or retrograde intramedullary nailing. During operation, the patients were assessed clinically for rotational deformity and then in the postoperative follow-up period, degree of rotation was identified with CT scan. Postoperative computed tomography measurements of rotation were compared with the opposite side.
Results: There were 70 patients, 56 men and 14 women. The average age of the patients was 28.21±14.39 patients (55/7%) had external rotation and 31 patients (44/3%) had internal rotation. The mean of malrotation degree in physical examination was 4/67 and The mean of malrotation degree in CT scan was 7. Degree of malrotation deformity, less of 5º, 5 to 10º and 10 to 15º was less of 8.6%, 75.7% and 15.7% respectively. Degree of malrotation didn’t relate to age, sex, fracture location and activity of the patients (P> 0.05).
Conclusion: Rotational deformity in 28% of the patients was equal to more 15º. This complication didn’t relate to fracture location. The patients with external rotation deformity had more symptoms than the patients with internal rotational deformity but there isn’t significant relation in this study.

Abstract
Background: Researchers and health specialists are increasingly obtaining information on chronic illnesses from self-reports. This study validates self-reports of hypertension, based on a recently fielded survey in Mashhad City, Iran.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we used the results of 2015 census in Mashhad City, a population based survey of people over the age of 30 (n=300745) to determine the proportion of self-reported hypertension. In this study, the data of the studied population was extracted from the databank of Sina Electronic Health Record System (SinaEHR®) and patients with ICD10 codes including I10 and I11 approved by doctors as a reference. Finally using SPSS software, version 20 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) and MedCalc (https://www.medcalc.org/calc/odds_ratio.php), sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value were calculated with 95% confidence interval.
Results: Sensitivity of self-reported hypertension was 23.92% (CI95%: 23.43-24.41), specificity 97.03% (CI95%: 96.97-97.09), Positive Linkelihood Ratio 8.06% (CI95%: 7.82-8.30), Negative Linkelihood Ratio 0.78% (CI95%: 0.78-0.79), Positive Predictive Value 46.34% (CI95%: 45.60-47.08), Negative Predictive Value 92.25% (CI95%: 92.20-92.29). The self-reported sensitivity to hypertension in males, Iranian individuals, single, aged 60 and over, body mass index lower 18.5 individual with university education was higher, which was 24.67%, 31.09%, 30.07%, 32.43% and 26.03% respectively.
Conclusion: Although the sensitivity of self-reported hypertension was poor in this study, but specificity and positive and negative predictive values were fairly good.

Abstract
Background: Today, due to changes in human lifestyle and consumer demand incidence of foodborne diseases is on the rise. The aim of this study was to investigate the mortality rate of foodborne diseases and their related factors.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, data on deaths registered according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10th revision) were extracted from death registration and classification of causes system in the Ministry of Health and Medical Education of Iran from 2011 to 2018. Data on deaths from food and water borne diseases including Salmonella, Shigella, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium botulinum, and other foodborne diseases were extracted from database of death registration and classification of causes system. The demographic variables of dead people considered in this study include age (under 5 years, 5-20 years, 20-40, 40-60s and over 60 old), gender, nationality, and the location where people died (urban, rural and unknown).
Results: The majority of deaths cases occurred at the age of 60 years and in older age groups (P<0.001). The results show that across all the age groups mortality rate from foodborne diseases was higher among men than among women (P=0.110). Most of foodborne diseases were reported by people living in urban areas (P<0.0001). The results of this study showed that most of the deaths from these diseases occur in the warm seasons. In this study, the crude death rate was 10 cases per one million inhabitants.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that there was a significant difference between the mortality rate due to different bacterial agents. This study suggests that demographic variables are important predictors of mortality from foodborne illness and should be further investigated.

Abstract
Background: Alkaptonuria is a rare disorder that leads to excessive production and accumulation of homogentisic acid in body tissues, and this increase causes tissue degeneration and organ dysfunction through a process called achromasia. Due to very few studies in the field of this disease and access to epidemiological data for the first time in Iran, the present study was conducted with the aim of epidemiological investigation of the mortality rate of patients with alkaptonuria during the years 2013 to 2022 in Iran.
Methods: The design of the present study was cross-sectional (descriptive-analytical). The data related to the deceased registered according to the international coding system of diseases (ICD-10) were extracted from the system of registration and classification of the causes of death of Iran for death due to alkaptonuria disease. The variables investigated in this study included: age, gender and residence status of the deceased. Chi-square and Fisher's exact test were also used to analyze the data.
|
Results: The specific death rate was calculated as 0.31 per one million people of the population. In this study, 90% of the deaths occurred at the age of less than five years. The age variable included two groups of less than five years and more than five years, where 90% of deaths occurred at the age of less than five years. 60% of the deceased were men and 40% were women. Regarding the residence status variable, 82% of the cases were urban and the rest were rural. Finally, there was no significant difference between the incidence of death due to alkaptonuria disease and the investigated variables, which are age (P=0.291), gender (P=0.958) and residence status (P=0.273).
Conclusion: According to the findings in the present study, although no significant difference was observed between age and the number of cases of death due to alkaptonuria; But most cases of death have occurred in young age groups, which seems that more studies are needed to understand the different dimensions of this disease
