Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Considering the importance of diabetes and its increased prevalence with aging, this study aimed to evaluate the association between diabetes status and quality of life (QOL) and the determining factors in individuals over 60. METHODS Two thousand three hundred seventy-five individuals including 819 (34.5%) with diabetes, aged 69.4 ± 6.4, from Bushehr Elderly Health Program (BEHP) were enrolled. We categorized the participants as non-diabetic, controlled diabetic, and poorly controlled diabetic. The QOL was assessed using the SF-12 questionnaire. The physical (PCS) and mental (MCS) component summaries of QOL were estimated. We compared the SF-12 domains and components between the categories using ANOVA. Further, the association of diabetes status with PCS and MCS was assessed after adjustment for possible confounders including age, sex, depression, cognitive impairment, physical activity, and other relevant factors using linear regression analysis. RESULTS Individuals with diabetes had lower PCS (40.9 ± 8.8 vs. 42.7 ± 8.6, p-value < 0.001), and MCS scores (45.0 ± 10.2 vs. 46.4 ± 9.4, p-value < 0.001) compared to participants without diabetes. No significant differences were observed in PCS or MCS scores between controlled or poorly controlled individuals with diabetes. Diabetes status was associated with PCS and MCS scores in univariable analysis. Regarding physical component of QOL, after adjusting for other confounders, poorly controlled diabetes was significantly associated with PCS [beta: -1.27 (-2.02, -0.52)]; some other determinants include depression [-7.66 (-8.51, -6.80)], male sex [3.90 (3.24,4.57)], and good physical activity [1.87 (1.17,2.57)]. As for the mental component, controlled diabetes was significantly associated with MCS [-1.17 (-2.13, -0.22)]; other contributing factors include depression [-14.35 (-15.34, -13.37)], male sex [1.97 (1.20,2.73)], good physical activity [-1.55 (-2.35, -0.75)], and smoking [-1.42 (-2.24, -0.59)]. BMI had an inverse association with PCS [-0.19 (-0.26, -0.13)] and a direct association with MCS [0.14 (0.07,0.21)]. CONCLUSION Individuals with diabetes exhibited reduced QOL scores. Upon adjusting for other variables, it was found that uncontrolled diabetes correlated with decreased PCS scores, whereas controlled diabetes was linked to lower MCS scores. Factors such as depression and being female were identified as contributors to diminished QOL in both physical and mental aspects. These results have the potential to guide healthcare decision-making, facilitating the creation of tailored interventions aimed at improving the QOL for individuals with diabetes, with a specific focus on women and depression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM To conduct a systematic literature review and synthesize data from all epidemiological studies investigating the association between diabetes and migraine in adults. METHOD AND MATERIAL Electronic databases, including Web of Science, PubMed and Scopus in addition to Google Scholar search engine were systematically searched up to Jun 2020 to identify studies reporting the diabetes-migraine association. RESULTS A total of 15 studies were selected which were published from 2012 to 2019. Five out of 15 studies assessed the presence of migraine in diabetic subjects, while nine studies assessed the presence of diabetes in migraine subjects. The cohort study reported a hazard ratio for diabetes of 1.06 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.91-1.24) for women with migraine with aura, 1.01 (95% CI: 0.89-1.16) for women without aura, and 1.13 (95% CI: 0.98-1.3) for women with a migraine history, compared with women with no history of migraine. Due to the high degree of heterogeneity, and the lack of statistical estimates of the association in several of the reviewed studies, meta-analysis of the available data was not possible. CONCLUSION This study is the first review to examine the association between diabetes and migraine. Further longitudinal studies are required to clarify the migraine-diabetes association. There is also a clear need for more studies with larger sample sizes and similar methodologies in order to provide necessary information to conduct a meta-analysis.

Abstract
Background: According to the World Health Organization, the number of elderly people over 60 will double by 2025. Despite the increasing percentage of elderly people in communities, most urban spaces, environments, and houses are designed without taking into account the needs of the elderly. Due to factors such as a relative decline in birth rates and increased life expectancy, it seems that in the near future, the elderly population in Iran will form a significant part of the demographic structure of the country. The main solution to meet the needs of the elderly is to obtain the standards of an elder-friendly city. Therefore, this research was conducted with the aim of evaluating indicators (With the emphasis on social, cultural, recreational and health indicators) of the Elder- friendly City, in Urmia. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in 50 elderly over 60 years old in different regions of Urmia, Feb. 2019. Data collection was done by the WHO questionnaire. In terms of reliability, Cronbach s alpha coefficient was 78%, which is acceptable. Data were analyzed by Stata software. Systematic sampling was performed from 2 nursing homes in Urmia. Eligible criteria were the residence in Urmia and age above 60 years. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to check the normality of the data and t-test to compare the mean of the indicators. Results: A total of 50 elderly people participated in this study. Their average age was 67.1 ± 7.32 and 51% were women. The results showed that all social, cultural and educational indicators in Urmia are fairly appropriate and in concordance with the standard, but health indicators are somewhat lower. Conclusions: Health indicators are an important part of elder-friendly city standards. Therefore, further studies and appropriate interventions are recommended to obtain the standard level of health indicators. Keywords: Age-friendly communities, Health, Urmia, Iran

Abstract
Background and aims: World’s older population is growing, and attention is being directed to the improvement of their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This article was conducted to investigate the HRQoL and associated factors in rural elderly residents in west of Iran. Methods: By using the multistage sampling method, 346 elders from rural areas of Shahindezh were enrolled in this population-based, cross-sectional study conducted in 2014. To assess the HRQoL of the elderly people, the Leiden-Padua (LEIPAD) questionnaire was used. The economic status was classified into 3 categories (good, moderate, and low) using the principal component analysis. Descriptive statistics, independent t test, ANOVA, and Spearman correlation coefficient were used to analyze data. Multivariate linear regression was performed to determine predictive factors. Results: The mean values and confidence intervals of total core scale and total moderator scale were 38.6 (36.7-40.6) and 31.2 (29.6-32.6), respectively. Univariate analysis showed age, marital status, economic status, occupation, income source, and ethnicity were associated with HRQoL (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed the married, the illiterate, widows/widowers and the divorced, people with low economic status, and the self-employed had low HRQoL with respect to total scale and total core scale models (P<0.05). Conclusion: HRQoL varies according to socioeconomic factors. Its determinants should be addressed in social and health policies designed to improve the health of older people, especially the most vulnerable groups.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate trend and seasonal pattern of occurrence and mortality of motorcycle accidents in patients referred to hospitals of Isfahan. METHODS This cross-sectional study was carried out using traffic accidents data of Isfahan province, extracted from Ministry of Health (MOH) database from 2006 to 2010. During the study period, 83648 people injured due to motorcycle traffic accidents were referred to hospitals, all of them entered in the study. Logistic regression model was used to calculate the hospital mortality odds ratio, and Cochrane-Armitage test was used for assessment of linear trend. RESULTS During the study period, the hospital admission for motorcycle accident was 83,648 and 89.3% (74743) of them were men. Mean age in accidents time was 26.41±14.3 years. The injuries and death sex ratio were 8.4 and 16.9, respectively. Lowest admission rate was during autumn and highest during summer. The injury mortality odds ratio was 1.01 (CI 95% 0.73-1.39) in the Spring, 1.34 (CI95% 1.01-1.79) in summer and 1.17 (CI95% 0.83-1.63). It was also calculated to be 2.51 (CI95% 1.36-4.64) in age group 40-49, 2.39 (CI95% 1.51-5.68) in 50-59 and 4.79 (CI95% 2.49-9.22) in 60-69 years. The mortality odds ratio was 3.53 (CI95% 2.77-4.5) in rural place, 1.33 (CI95% 1.15-1.54) in men, and 2.44 (CI95% 2.09-2.85) in the road out of town and village. In addition, trend of motorcycle accidents mortality was increasing (p<0.001). CONCLUSION Motorcycle accidents injuries are more common in men, summer, young age and rural roads. These high risk groups need more attention, care and higher training.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Orchidopexy is one of the most common pediatric surgeries. In general, the operation for truly undescended testis (UDT) includes opening of the external oblique fascia. The most common location of the testis in UDT is adjacent to the external inguinal canal (superficial inguinal type). Using a new method we performed orchidopexy without opening the fascia. In this clinical trial we compared the outcome after a classic procedure with that obtained using our method. METHODS AND PATIENTS This clinical controlled trial was undertaken in the Al Zahra hospital between 2008 and 2010. Patients were randomized into either into the closed technique group (group A, n=52) or the open group (group B, n=52). The incidence of short-term and long-term complications was recorded with a specific questionnaire at the time of surgery and at follow-up visits. Data were analyzed with the SPSS 15.0 software using chi-square and t-tests. RESULTS 104 patients were included in this study. The incidence of short-term complications (surgical site hematoma, surgical wound infection, scrotal hematoma) and long-term complications (testicular atrophy) did not differ significantly between the 2 groups. Procedure duration in group A was significantly shorter than in group B (p=0.001). Medial thigh sensory loss was more common in group B (p=0.05). CONCLUSION When investigating the surgical management of undescended testes, our study found differences in medial thigh sensory loss rate and procedure duration between the open and closed techniques. Operative treatment of UDT without opening the external oblique fascia is highly recommended.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a playroom next to the operating room to reduce preoperative anxiety in children. METHODS AND MATERIALS In 2009, we designed a playroom in a preoperative waiting room in our hospital. The playroom had colored toys and cars appropriate for different ages and a TV and video to show cartoons. Patients were randomly assigned into a case or a control group. Control group patients were admitted to the preoperative waiting room 30 min prior to operation. Case group patients were admitted to the playroom for the same period of time. The anxiety levels of the children were compared using the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (m-YPAS). RESULTS In this study 200 children were evaluated (100 patients in the case group, 100 patients in the control group). There were 20 female and 80 male patients in the case group with a mean age of 4.33 ± 1.5 years and 26 female and 74 male patients in the control group with a mean age of 3.87 ± 1.2 years (p=NS). Inguinal herniorraphy was the most common procedure in both groups. Preoperative anxiety was significantly decreased for all categories of the anxiety score as assessed by m-YPAS questionnaire. CONCLUSION A preoperative playroom is a very effective method to reduce preoperative anxiety in children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With such a wide variety of treatment options available for rectal prolapse and a variable success rate, the optimal treatment for this condition in children is still debated. In this study, we evaluated a technique of perineal mesh rectopexy with a sterile talc-soaked mesh and compared the success rates and complications of this method with those of abdominal rectopexy. METHODS AND MATERIALS To examine the effect of therapeutic interventions, a randomized control trial (children were randomized into the case group or the control group) was carried out. In the control group, children were operated on by abdominal posterior mesh rectopexy. In the case group, a 30-cm sterile asbestos-free talc-soaked mesh was placed in the presacral space in a spiral fashion with the end exiting from the perineal incision. From 5 (th) day after surgery onward, the mesh was gradually extracted (10 cm per day) and completely removed by the 7 (th) postoperative day. On postoperative assessment, the duration of hospitalization, the postoperative complications and the success rates after surgery were compared. Patients were followed up for one year. RESULTS In this study we evaluated 120 children. Mean age of the patients was 5.1±0.081 years in the case group and 4.91±0.59 years in the control group (p=NS). 34 patients in the case group were male vs. 41 patients in the control group. Results indicated that there was no statistically significant difference in postoperative complications between groups. The infection rate was 1.6% in the case group and 6.6% in the control group (p=NS).There was a higher resolution of constipation in the perineal rectopexy group (68.4% in the control group and 96.8% in the case group; p=0.002). The duration of hospitalization was 6.34±0.28 days in the case group and 6.68±0.31 days in the control group (p=NS). CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that perineal mesh rectopexy with sterile talc can be an alternative approach to abdominal surgery and offers an acceptable outcome with a low rate of complications.
