        Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves cardiac function in patients with heart failure (HF), and the result of this treatment is decrease in death rate and improving quality of life for patients. This research is aimed at predicting CRT response for the prognosis of patients with heart failure under CRT. According to international instructions, in the case of approval of QRS prolongation and decrease in ejection fraction (EF), the patient is recognized as a candidate of implanting recognition device. However, regarding many intervening and effective factors, decision making can be done based on more variables. Computer-based decision-making systems especially machine learning (ML) are considered as a promising method regarding their significant background in medical prediction. Collective intelligence approaches such as particles swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm are used for determining the priorities of medical decision-making variables. This investigation was done on 209 patients and the data was collected over 12 months. In HESHMAT CRT center, 17.7% of patients did not respond to treatment. Recognizing the dominant parameters through combining machine recognition and physician’s viewpoint, and introducing back-propagation of error neural network algorithm in order to decrease classification error are the most important achievements of this research. In this research, an analytical set of individual, clinical, and laboratory variables, echocardiography, and electrocardiography (ECG) are proposed with patients’ response to CRT. Prediction of the response after CRT becomes possible by the support of a set of tools, algorithms, and variables. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of the current research was to investigate the relationship of work-family conflict and spillover with psycho-somatic com-plaints by considering the role of work anxiety. The research method was correlational and the sample consisted of 254 employees of an industrial company. Research instruments included Work-Family Conflict Questionnaire (WFCQ), Work-Family Spill-over Questionnaire (WFSQ), Psychosomatic Complaints Questionnaire (PCQ), and Work Anxiety Questionnaire (WAQ), (researcher made). Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling (SEM). Results revealed that there is a positive significant relationship between work-family and family-work conflict with psychosomatic complaints and work anxiety (P<0.01), negative significant relationship between positive family-work spill-over with psychosomatic complaints, and work anxiety (P<0.05). Also, results showed that there is a positive significant relationship between work anxiety and psychosomatic complaints. Results of the structural equation modeling with mediation analysis also showed that work anxiety is a partial mediator in the relationship of family-work conflict with psychosomatic complaints.

        Abstract Hope and self-efficacy might play a constructive and important role in the substance abuse recovery process and prevention of repeated lapses in the process of therapy. This research has been conducted with the aim of the examination of such a role by comparing hope and self-efficacy of addicts in maintenance methadone therapy who were without lapses and those with repeated lapses. This re- search was a causal-comparative design study. The population of the research consisted of all the addicts referred to the maintenance methadone therapy centers of Khorramabad city in the first half of 1394 (2015). For this purpose, one group of 40 patients with repeated lapses and another group of 40 patients without lapses were selected by convenience sampling. They were asked to fill Hope and Self-Effi- cacy Questionnaires. Results of analysis of variance indicated that although the scores of hope were high in these two groups, there was no significant difference between them in this variable, and they were significantly different only in self-efficacy. It could be concluded that, in order to gain positive and maintaining therapeutic outcomes, in addition to high levels of hope, high levels of self-efficacy are also necessary. Manuscript profile

        The present research has been conducted with the purpose of examining the efficacy of integrated model of self regulation-attachment couple therapy on dysfunctional impulsivity and difficulties in emotion regulation of couples. This study was a quasi-experimental research that had a pretest-posttest design with a control group. Among the couples referring to the councelling centers of Khoramabad city, 22 couples were selected and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Before performing couple therapy sessions, Dysfunctional Impulsivity Scale (DIS) and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) were conducted for all the couples as pretest. Then couples in the experimental group participated in integrated model of self regulation-attachment couple therapy, but the control group did not receive treatment. After completion of the therapeutic sessions, the couples of two the groups completed those scales again as the posttest. Finally, the data was analyzed by Multivariate Analysis of Covariance. The results indicated that after the control of pretest effect, the effect of group membership on linear composition of dependent variables of dysfunctional im-pulsivity and difficulties in emotion regulation was significant. Univariate Analysis of Covariance also indicated that self regulation-attachment couple therapy had significant efficacy on decreasing dysfunctional impulsivity and difficulties in emotion regulation (except on difficulties in engaging in goal-directed behavior), compared to the control group. In conclusion, integrated model of self- regulation-attachment couple therapy can be a useful and effective treatment in decreasing dysfunctional impulsivity and difficulties in emotion regulation of couples.

        The tendon is a firm fibrous band of connective tissue that connects muscle to bone. This structure has the ability to transfer mechanical forces resulting from muscle contraction to the skeletal system. Tendinitis is a general term, often used to describe painful tendon situations due to constant stretching, overuse, degeneration, or poor tendon biomechanism. Tendinopathy is often the result of useless attempts by the body to regenerate a tendon, which a pathological conflict has led to a malfunction. Various treatments have been used to manage tendon disorders. Stem cells are divided into two categories. Embryonic cells (which are very potential but due to ethical considerations, limited studies have been done on them) and postnatal cells. Postnatal cells are divided into two categories, which include; Hematopoietic stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells. Mesenchymal stem cells have the ability to differentiate into multiple cells, including tenocytes, chondrocytes, and fibroblasts. these cells are a potential alternative to treating tendon lesions. This article presentan overview of the structure, biomechanics and disorders of tendon and, while pointing to the common therapies today, introduces stem cells , retrospective studies and possibility of using these cells in the optimal treatment of tendon disorders.

The research method was quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test with a control group. In this study, 30 patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder syndrome were assigned to psychology clinics in Rasht in 2021 as a research sample in two experimental and control groups. Groups were assessed with questionnaires Padua obsessive-compulsive disorder by Sanavio (1988), Gratz & Roemer (2004) difficulties in emotional regulation, and Dennis & Vander Wal (2010) cognitive flexibility. After 10 sessions of 90 minutes of cognitive-behavioral therapy for the experimental group, participants again answered the research questionnaire. Findings showed that cognitive-behavioral therapy significantly reduces the difficulties in emotion regulation (rejection of emotional responses, difficulty in performing purposeful behavior, difficulty in controlling impulse, lack of emotional awareness, limited strategies, lack of Emotional state) and increased cognitive flexibility (P<0.001). Due to the problems that patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder have in emotional and cognitive dimensions, it is necessary to pay more attention to these cases in the treatment process.

        Due to the high rate of self-injury in adolescents in 2022 and its destructive effect, the present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dialectical behavior therapy on self-criticism and self-compassion of adolescents with a history of self-injury behaviors. The design of the present study is a single-subject experiment with several baselines. The target population was girls who were referred to education centers in 2021. As sample, 3 female adolescents in Shiraz with a history of self-injury behaviors were selected by purposive sampling. Research tools included inventory of statements about self-injury (ISAS) of Klonsky and Glenn (2009), self-criticism questionnaires (FSCRS) of Gilbert et al (2004), Neff) Self-compassion questionnaires (SCS) (2003), and structured clinical interviews for personality disorders (SCID-5 PD) (2014). Each person was randomly assigned to the baseline stage over a period of two, three, or four weeks. Adolescents then received 16 sessions of treatment and also their parents received 5 sessions of therapy and after one month a follow-up was carried out. Dialectical behavior therapy was effective in reducing self-criticism and increasing self-compassion in all three clients after treatment, but the stability of the treatment effect remained only for the first and second clients whose parents involved in therapy regularly. It seems that the application of dialectical behavior therapy skills with the cooperation and support of parents can be associated with a decrease in self-criticism and increased self-compassion in female adolescents with a history of self-injury behaviors.

        Vaginismus is one of the most common GenitoPelvic Pain/Penetration Disorders, which is classified as either lifelong (primary) or acquired (secondary). The present study aimed to investigate the efficacy of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy on women with lifelong vaginismus. During a single-case experimental trial of multiple-baseline type, four women were included and diagnosed with lifelong vaginismus by a psychiatrist in a psychosexual clinic in Ahvaz. Full intercourse was evaluated daily based on the self-reports of participants. Secondary outcome measures (i.e.catastrophic cognitions, tightening, helplessness, sexual adjustment, avoidance, and penetration motivation were assessed in participants by a multidimensional vaginal penetration disorder questionnaire at baseline and after intervention. The subjects were entered into an eight-week Cognitive Behavioral Therapy program. The decreasing curve is compared with the baseline for each variable and considered the recovery index. After the treatment, all participants reported successful intercourse without pain and fear. The findings investigated that catastrophic cognitions, tightening, helplessness, sexual adjustment, avoidance, penetration motivation, sexual information, hypervigilance, optimism, and thoughts about genital incompatibility significantly improved by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in all participants(P < 0.05). Based on the results, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can be considered an effective treatment for LLV. In addition, this study can enhance our knowledge about the fear-avoidance essence of vaginismus and develop treatment options for women with lifelong vaginismus.

        <p>Throughout history, clothing has been a powerful way of expressing a specific concept. But in the current post-modern era, it is considered as the secondary nature of mankind. Considering clothing as an independent artwork can shed light on what the nature of conceptual fashion is today, which contains a wide variety of contents. This approach can be traced back to the major dissident art movement. The period in which clothing, as an independent work of art, was considered as an item able to elevate its wearers higher than where they could previously reach with their natural gifts. The main purpose of this study is to identify the mental weaknesses of mankind and the role of conceptual clothing in stimulating, soothing, and guiding the subjects. However, the important question is: How clothing can be therapeutic for its subjects in an interactive environment? In addition to having an artistic view of clothing, which already plays a major role in influencing the subjects in the form of conceptual art, this research seeks to put forward a modern view called interactive-therapeutic clothing. The therapeutic approach to clothing as well as a recent notion stated in this research seeks to replace the notion claiming that it is only possible to have either a practical approach or an aesthetic one towards clothing. Accordingly, clothing is going to be surveyed in respect of the seven psychological functions of art attempting to eliminate the psychological weaknesses proposed by Alain de Botton and John Rutherford Armstrong. And to realise that because of the capabilities of clothing in influencing the subjects clothing is a crucial element in art as therapy. Entering the world of art would be a difficult task, though, since in recent decades clothing has been looked on as an item that can either be useful or aesthetic. Nevertheless, by knowing the importance of the existing web of connections between the phenomenological concepts and descriptions proposed by Merleau-Ponty and by generalizing this to the world of interactive performance we can get the key. the body is our observation platform already present in all of our experiences; thus, it receives some concepts like colour, space and depth. From the beginning to the end of this research conceptual clothing is regarded as an instance of art able to induce different concepts and actions on the subjects since they will have a corporeal experience of art. This experience takes place in an environment where clothing, next to the other instances of art, would be the most influential and leading element in influencing the subjects, since by wearing the clothes they are the actual performer. So clothes, the most intimate work of art to the body, can give the subjects a better understanding of some concepts by making them aware that they all own an artistic self and helping them revive their senses of creativity and innovation. This research is done through correlational and analytical studies. The data of this study has been gathered from other papers and books.</p> Manuscript profile
