Objectives: The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) training with positive psychology in hostility and physiological parameters among cardiovascular patients. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted based on a pre-test post-test control group design. The statistical population included cardiovascular patients referred to cardiology centers in Tehran in the first six months of 2020. The sample consisted of 45 patients who were purposefully selected and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group (n=15 in each group). Participants completed a hostility questionnaire before and after the intervention (Radford, 1990). The two experimental groups received the MBSR training program with positive psychology in eight 90-min weekly sessions, while the control group did not receive any training. To test the hypotheses, ANCOVA and MANCOVA analysis were used, along with the least significant difference (LSD) post hoc test. Results: Based on the results, both methods of MBSR training and positive psychology had a significant effect on hostility and physiological indicators (pulse and blood pressure) in the experimental groups, compared to those obtained in the control group (P<0.001) in the post-test; nonetheless, no significant difference was observed between the two approaches (P>0.05). Conclusion: As evidenced by the results of the current study, the MBSR intervention and positive psychology can be suggested as effective methods for the enhancement of general health and lifestyle and the mitigation of hostility among cardiovascular patients.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effects of play therapy and story therapy on social skills and aggression in children with leukemia. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted with a pretest-posttest design and a three-month follow-up. The statistical population included all children with leukemia referred to Mahak Center in 2019. The samples (n=45) were selected and equally divided into one control and two experimental groups. The follow-up stage was performed on all groups 3 months after the post-test. The research instruments included questionnaires, namely the Children's Aggression Questionnaire and Matson Evaluation of Social Skills with Youngsters. Data were analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVA. Results: Both treatments had a significant effect on social skills and aggression in leukemia children (P<0.05), compared to the control group. However, play therapy had a greater impact on social skills and aggression than story therapy (P<0.05). Conclusion: The effectiveness of play therapy was more than story therapy on social skills and aggression in leukemia children; consequently, play therapy is recommended for children.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of 12 weeks of resistance-power training and vitamin D supplementation on serum IGF1, vitamin D concentrations, and physical function of elderly women. Methods: In total, 44 elderly volunteered women were randomly assigned to four groups of training+placebo (TP), training+vitamin D (TS), vitamin D (Vit D), and placebo (P). The training groups performed a weight training program for 12 weeks (three sessions per week). People in the Vit D group took one 50,000 IU vitamin D jelly tablet every two weeks, and the P group took one placebo capsule (rice flour). Blood samples were taken from all subjects before and after training; moreover, serum vitamin D, IGF-1, and physical function indices were measured in this study. Data were analyzed in SPSS (version 25) and R3.5.2 software through the analysis of variance of weighted repeated measures. Results: Serum vitamin D was significantly increased in the TS and Vit D groups in comparison with the control group, while it is meaningfully decreased in the TP group (P≤0.05). Training and supplementation interventions had no significant effects on serum IGF-1 (P≥0.05). There was a significant increase in the physical function indices of the TS and TP groups, compared to those in the control group (P≤0.05); meanwhile, there was no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: Resistance-power training in the elderly improved the physical function indices; however adding vitamin D supplementation to the training had no significant effect on physical function.

Objectives: In this regard, the present study aimed to investigate the role of psychological distress and difficulty in emotion regulation in the prediction of post-traumatic stress in nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The present study was conducted based on a descriptive correlational design. The statistical population of the study consisted of male and female nurses working in medical centers in the fifth and sixth districts of Tehran in 2021. A sample of 300 nurses was selected via the convenience sampling method, and the data were then collected using the questionnaires of post-traumatic stress disorder, psychological distress, and difficulty in emotion regulation. Results: Based on the results, post-traumatic stress was significantly positively correlated with depression, anxiety, stress, rejection of emotional responses, impulse control difficulties, lack of emotional awareness, difficulty in performing purposeful behavior, limited access to emotional regulation strategies, and emotional state (P<0.01). The results of multiple regression analysis also illustrated that psychological distress and difficulty in emotion regulation predicted 75% of post-traumatic stress in nurses. Conclusion: The results indicate that post-traumatic stress disorder was significantly correlated with psychological distress and difficulty in emotion regulation in nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the fact that nurses have been infected with this deadly virus since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and experienced a lot of stress, it is necessary to take measures to improve their mental health.

Here we present a case of a patient suffering from blunt liver trauma with a review of the literature. Case Presentation: A young 33 years old male patient was referred to our medical center by the EMS with a chief complaint of pain and dyspnea due to direct thoracoabdominal trauma. The patient presented with hypotension and was transferred to the intensive care unit for close monitoring. Radiologic investigations showed lung contusion with grade V liver injury. The patient underwent damage control surgery and the definitive surgery following that and showed no signs of complication during the hospital stay and follow-up visits. Conclusion: Trauma is among the leading causes of death worldwide, with the head and extremities being the most affected injury sites, followed by abdominal trauma. The most affected group is young males. During the last decades, non-operative management(NOM) of abdominal trauma has increasingly gained popularity among surgeons due to the prevention of laparotomy complications such as infections. Concomitant injuries, including solid and hollow organs alongside liver trauma, affect the morbidity and mortality status of the patient and are associated with high mortality rates if not addressed immediately and appropriately.
