Abstract
Background and Aim: Excessive interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) in hemodialysis (HD) patients has serious effects. Therefore patients should follow a fluid-restriction diet. Non-adherence to fluid restriction can lead to excessive IDWG. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of ice chips on thirst, xerostomia and IDWG in HD patients.
Materials and Methods: This one- group pretest- posttest study included 49 HD patients and had three stages. In the first week (baseline stage) the patients received instructions for three sessions. In the second week (liquid stage) patients consumed fluid for one week and in the third week (ice chip stage) patients consumed fluid and ice intermittently for one week. Weights of the patients were measured before and after every dialysis session. Thirst and dry mouth were evaluated only before the dialysis session. Using SPSS version 16, data were analyzed by t-test and Wilcoxon tests.
Results: The average IDWG (p=0.001) and xerostomia scores (p=0.041) in the two stages of fluid and ice chips were significantly different. Comparison of the thirst scores (p=0.127) between the two stages of fluids and ice chips showed no significant difference.
Conclusion: Consumption of ice chips led to reduction in IDWG which was indicative of less fluid consumption by the patients. This is one of the most important goals of care in HD patients, and can be used as an educational recommendation for them

Abstract
Background and Aim: One of the known causes of delirium is hypoxia. Phase one cardiac rehabilitation program can improve pulmonary aerobic capacity and subsequently increase brain tissue perfusion. As a result, due to its hypoxia-reducing effects, it may be able to reduce delirium levels. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of phase one cardiac rehabilitation on the delirium level of patients after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Materials and Methods: This clinical trial study was performed on 60 patients in the cardiac intensive care unit of Imam Reza Hospital in Mashhad during 1398. After randomly assigning patients to two intervention and control groups, in patients in the intervention group, phase one of cardiac rehabilitation was performed. Patients in the control group received routine ward program. Delirium was measured by Nicham questionnaire in seven rounds, SPSS software version 20 was performed for analyzing data. Data were analyzed using Chi-square, independent t-test, Mann-Whitney and analysis of variance statistical tests. Pvalues less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
Results:Two groups were homogeneous in terms of contextual variables. Results of analysis variance with repeated measurement test showed a significant difference between two groups in terms of delirium. (P= 0.016) The difference between two groups on the first to fourth days was significant and daily delirium levels of two groups on different days were significantly different from each other.(P= 0/001). p
Conclusion: This study showed performing phase one cardiac rehabilitation effectively reduces delirium. Therefore, phase one rehabilitation can be used as an affordable and low-cost approach to prevent and reduce delirium.

Abstract
Background and Objective: The current first-line diagnostic method for detecting drugs of abuse, especially morphine, involves measuring the concentration of this alkaloid using point-of-care (POCT) drug tests in patient urine. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of this test in comparison with the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on urine samples from individuals suspected of drug abuse or patients undergoing morphine therapy, referred to hospital laboratories in Sanandaj. In this study, a common POCT kit used in laboratories in Sanandaj city, which uses the Lateral Flow Immunoassay (LFIA) method (Hanan Teb Pars Company, Iran), and HPLC method were used to simultaneously measure morphine in samples. Then, to compare the two methods used, the limit of detection (LOD), sensitivity, specificity, and efficiency indices were calculated.
Results: The limit of detection (LOD) for both the HPLC and LFIA methods used in this study was 300 ng/ml. Compared to the HPLC method, the sensitivity and specificity of the LFIA method were 42.65% and 64%, respectively.
Conclusion: The results of this study clearly indicate the low diagnostic value of the LFIA method used in Sanandaj laboratories. Consequently, the inaccurate results obtained from this method can impact patient management and lead to adverse outcomes. The HPLC method established in this study is proposed as an alternative method.
