Abstract

Background & objectives: Lack of early detection and intervention of cerebral palsy in children can lead to multiple disabilities. Neurofeedback is a new treatment method that may cause neuro and metabolic function regulation in brain. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of neurofeedback on brain waves in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Material & Methods: This study was semi-experimental with pre- and post- test. The sampling method was available. The samples include all children 4-15 years old with spastic cerebral palsy were admitted to rehabilitation centers of Tehran, in 2013. Twenty-six children with cerebral palsy with a mean age of 9.1 ± 4.8 years on the basis of inclusion & exclusion criteria (IQ above 80) were enrolled. Five sessions of neurofeedback were done. Brain waves were recorded before and after intervention by the EEG / ERP 19-channels standard with a sampling frequency of 250Hz and were compared to brain waves patterns of 50 normal, 4-15 years old children (control group). Results: The average of delta (low frequency) power decreased and the alpha (higher frequencies) power increased over the children after intervention in each channel. These mean that intervention bring brain waves pattern to near normal and these changes may be the signs of brain waves improvement. Conclusion: It seems that neurofeedback improve the brain waves in children with cerebral palsy. It’s necessary to do more investigations about the efficacy of this method in treatment of cerebral palsy.

Abstract

Background & Objectives: In the present study role of assertiveness training on self-esteem and loneliness was examined in female students with addicted parents.

Material & Methods: The method of this study was experimental and design of study was pretest-post-test with control group. The population of this study consisted of female students with addicted parents who were studying in Bojnurd middle schools between 2012-2013. Sixty cases were selected by convenience sampling and randomly divided into control and experimental groups. Self-esteem and loneliness of subjects in both pre-test and post-test were evaluated. Assertiveness skills were applied as the independent variable on the experimental group (8 sessions of 90 minutes).

Results: The results showed that there were significant differences between the experimental group and the control group. This means that assertiveness skill training caused significant changes in mean scores for self-esteem and loneliness of the experimental group compared to the control group.

Conclusion: Assertiveness skills can be a useful intervention for addicted parent’s students with self-esteem and loneliness problems.

Abstract

Introduction: Arboviruses have been a persistent public health challenge in Iran for the past 50 years. Culex mosquitoes are the main vectors of these viruses. Different aspects of these vectors, including their phenotypic characteristics, insecticide resistance, and the potential for infection transmission, were regularly reported from different parts of the world. The present study aimed to determine the fauna and prevalence of the Culex larval stage in four sites in Kerman province, Iran from March to September 2019.
Method: In total, 450 samples of Culex mosquito larvae were collected and identified using valid taxonomic keys. Physical and biological characteristics data of the larval habitats, including water situation, sunlight situation, and habitat kind, were recorded.
Results: Two Culex species, Culiseta longiareolata and Culex quinquefasciatus, were detected with prevalence rates of 88.8% and 11.2%, respectively. The recorded temperatures in larval habitats ranged from 16 to 28 C. Kerman City, Iran exhibited the highest prevalence of detected Culex mosquito larvae among the studied areas. Moreover, Rayen City and Sirjan City in Iran had the lowest and highest temperature rates, respectively. The temporary habitats were the most prevalent sites for larvae collection.
Conclusion: This study provided a snapshot of the predominant Culex mosquito fauna in Kerman, serving as a foundation for future molecular studies, identification of insecticide-resistant fauna, and exploration of the potential for initial transmission and continuation of zoonotic infections.
