Abstract
Background and Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disorders. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of OSA in myocardial infarction patients in the CCU of Karaj Hospitals, 2009. 
Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted , via convenience sampling , on 140 acute myocardial infarction patients in two cardiac care units of Shariati and Rajaei hospital in Karaj, 2009. We assessed demographic data, history of cardiovascular risk factors, STOP-Bang questionnaire through interview, information related to the type of myocardial infarction and laboratory parameters from medical records, and also we measured anthropometric indices with balance scale and meter tap. 
Results: Mean score of STOP-BANG questionnaire was 4.9 ± 1.2 in the range of 2 to 8 points and in 64% of the participants was higher than 4 points. The Score of STOP-BANG questionnaire was statistically significant considering age, smoking, hypertension, dyslipidemia, extensive infarction, BMI, waist-to-height ratio, Waist to Hip Ratio, Waist Circumference, neck circumference, cholesterol and left ventricular ejection fraction (P=0.001), sex (P=0.044), Diabetes(P=0.019), inferior infarction (P=0.006), anterior wall (P=0.048) and triglyceride levels (P=0.031). 
Conclusion: OSA is common among patients with myocardial infarction and is associated with anthropometric indices, cardiovascular risk factors, the location of infarction and left ventricular ejection fraction. Thus, Screening, evaluating the symptoms of OSA and referring for counseling and treatment is necessary.

Abstract
Background: Women experience psychological problems during pregnancy affecting their quality of life. Since weakness in life skills, including communication skills (CS), is a factor of reducing the quality of life, we conducted a study to determine the effect of group counseling based on communication skills on the quality of life in pregnant women in Gorgan.
Methods: The parallel randomized field study trial carried out in 2016 on 72 pregnant women who referred to the health centers in Gorgan, Iran. The pregnant women at the gestational age of 14-18 weeks were recruited in convenience sampling method, and then randomly assigned in to the intervention and control groups using the block randomization method. The data collection tool included the quality of life questionnaire (SF-36) that was completed by both groups before the intervention. The samples of the intervention group received 6 sessions of group counseling based on communication skills for a one-hour session per week. A week after the sessions, the questionnaires were completed again by both groups. We analyzed the data in SPSS-16 using the independent t-test, Mann-Whitney test, Wilcoxon test, Paired t-test, and Chi-square test.
Results: The mean of women's age was 28.4±4.3 years in the intervention group, and was 26.8±4.5 years in the control group, and the mean age of their husbands were 33.14±5.3 and 31.22± 4.8 in the intervention and control groups, respectively. There was statistically significant difference between the intervention (60±15.2) and control (49±13.4) groups after the intervention in  total quality of life (P=0.002). The results indicated that the mean scores of quality of life of women in the intervention group versus the control group after the intervention had statistically significant differences in all areas except for the "physical function" (65.3±17.4 vs. 61.5±20.1, P=0.4) and "role limitation due to physical problems" (50±36.8 vs. 45.1±27.3, P=0.56).
Conclusion: The health centers need to be taught about the communication skills in line with physical training during pregnancy by midwives and midwifery counselors.

Abstract
Background: Oral mucositis is a common complication of chemotherapy that significantly reduces patients' quality of life. While chlorhexidine mouthwash has been shown to improve oral mucositis, it can also cause side effects such as dysgeusia. In this context, simpler, plant-based alternatives like cinnamol may offer similar benefits without the associated side effects. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of cinnamol mouthwash with that of chlorhexidine mouthwash in treating oral mucositis in cancer patients undergoing treatment with doxorubicin.
Methods: This randomized clinical trial included 81 patients with cancer (breast, ovarian, bladder, lung, and colorectal) from two hospitals in Neyshabur and Sabzevar cities, located in northeastern Iran, in 2023. Participants were allocated to the control (n=27), chlorhexidine (n=27), and cinnamol (n=27) groups using a block randomization method. The control group received 0.9% physiological saline; the chlorhexidine group used chlorhexidine mouthwash, and the cinnamol group used cinnamol mouthwash. Participants were instructed to mix 25 drops of their assigned solution with 50 mL of lukewarm water, gargle for 30 seconds, and then expel the mixture. The intervention was administered twice every 12 hours for 14 days. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and the Standard Mucositis Assessment Tool on the first, seventh, and fourteenth days of the intervention. Data analysis was performed using R software version 4.2.2, employing univariate tests and the cumulative link mixed-effects model (CLMM). Results were presented as odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals.
Results: Both cinnamol and chlorhexidine mouthwashes significantly reduced oral mucositis severity compared to the control group. The odds of more severe mucositis in patients using chlorhexidine were 0.0021 times the odds in the control group (OR = 0.0021, p<0.001), meaning a lower risk in the chlorhexidine group by a factor of about 1/0.0021 ≈ 476). Also, cinnamol administration significantly diminished the odds of severe mucositis (OR = 0.0005, p<0.001) compared to the control. Over time, the protective effects of chlorhexidine (OR = 0.024, p<0.001) and cinnamol (OR = 0.269, p=0.060) became more pronounced, indicating a progressive healing trajectory.
Conclusion: Cinnamol and chlorhexidine mouthwashes demonstrated significant efficacy in reducing oral mucositis severity, while chlorhexidine effects were more enhanced over time. These insights suggest that both interventions are valuable in managing oral mucositis, offering valuable guidance for nursing practice and patient care.
