Meta Analysis
Epidemiology of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder in Iranian Population From 2019 to 2024: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a disorder that arises from experiencing traumatic events such as traffic accidents, war, natural disorders, and job incidents. This study focused on determining the epidemiology of PTSD in the Iranian population from 2019 to 2024. ⋯ The prevalence of PTSD in young Iranian men is relatively high, and there was no statistically significant decrease in PTSD prevalence between 2019 and 2024.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Preventive Effects of a CVD Polypill on Developing Diabetes Among Patients With Metabolic Syndrome: Results of the PolyIran-Liver Trial.
While cardiovascular disease (CVD) polypills have demonstrated significant benefits in preventing CVD events by managing CVD risk factors and improving patient adherence, their effects on blood glucose levels, an important risk factor for CVD, remain unknown. ⋯ The polypill used in this study may have the potential to delay the onset of diabetes in patients with MetS more effectively than in the general population. However, its beneficial effects on the blood sugar levels of diabetic individuals require further investigation.

Observational Study
Endotracheal Surfactant and Budesonide Combination Therapy in Neonatal Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome due to Late-Onset Sepsis.
Neonatal acute respiratory distress syndrome (NARDS) is an important cause of hypoxemic respiratory failure. This study aimed to investigate the short-term effects of endotracheal surfactant and budesonide combination therapy on NARDS secondary to late-onset neonatal sepsis (LONS). ⋯ The reduction in oxygen demand and OSI, along with an increase in SpO2 after treatment compared to pre-treatment values, suggests that endotracheal surfactant and budesonide combination therapy could be an effective option to improve oxygenation in NARDS secondary to LONS.
