Zinc phosphide is a rodenticide that is commonly available as grey-black powder and is widely used due to its low cost and high availability. This rodenticide may be consumed deliberately, unintentionally, for suicide purposes, or other purposes. We report the case of a 38-year-old man, who committed suicide by consuming almost 100 grams of zinc phosphide rodenticide and experienced reduced consciousness and cyanosis. The early symptoms of cyanosis included nausea, vomiting, headache, vertigo, numbness, weakness, blurry vision, epigastric abdominal pain, and pain in the upper and right abdominal sections. The patient also had no history of diabetes mellitus, high blood cholesterol, hypertension, hepatitis, tuberculosis, minor thalassemia, and mental diseases. Zinc phosphide is a life-threatening poison with no specific antidote.

Research has shown that hypertension is a medical condition which adversely affects the patients’ psychological charecteristics. Furthermore, the relevant studies have indicated that behavioral activation may have a beneficial impact on the psychological well-being of patiens who suffer from different medical conditions. Notwithstanding, there is a lack of research on the effect of this approach on the psychological charecteristics of hypertensive patients.The present study strived to determine the effect of behavioral activation on hypertensive patienst’ mental rumination, emotion regulation, and psychosomatic symptoms.This study adopted a pretest-tretament-posttest quasi-experimental design to attain its objectives. More specifically, first, the researchers selected a sample of 30 hypetensive female patiennts from among the female patients who referred to Petroleum Industry Health Organization in Tabriz (Iran). Second, they randomly assigned the participants to an experimental group and a control group.Third, they administered Ruminative Response Scale (Nolen-Hoeksema & Morrow, 1991), Psychosomatic Complaints Scale (Tanaka & Sakata, 2004), and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (Gratz & Roemer, 2004) to the groups of the study as pretests. Fourth, the researchers provided the experimental group with behavioral activation treatment during 10 sessions. Fifth, they administered the relevant questionnaires of the study to the groups anew as posttests. Finally, they performed the data analysis using SPSS 23. Based on the results, behavioral activation significantly reduced hypertensive patients’ mental rumination, alleviated their psychosomatic symptoms, and improved their emotion regulation (p<0.05).  It was concluded that behavioral activation can be used to improve the psychological well-being of female hypertensive patients.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the mediating role of cognitive fusion variable related to body image in the relationship between self-compassion variable and body dysmorphic symptoms variable in women applying for beauty services .The method used in the existing research is a description of the correlation type (structural equation modeling). The statistical population included all women between 20 and 50 years old who visited beauty clinics in Tehran to receive beauty services or advice on beauty services. The sample of this research includes 319 people who were selected as available. In order to collect the information needed for the research, the questionnaires of the Self-Compassion Short Form Scale (SCS-SF), the Modified Yale-Brown Obsession Scale for Body Dysmorphic Disorder Phillips (BDD-YBOCS) and the Ferreira Body Image-Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ-BI) were used. The data was analyzed with the help of structural equation modeling and according to the results of the present study, it can be stated that the meta-diagnostic factor of cognitive fusion related to body image plays a full mediating role in the relationship between self-compassion and body dysmorphic symptoms in women applying for cosmetic surgeries. In other words, it can be said that a non-judgmental attitude towards thoughts related to physical appearance gives a person the opportunity to psychologically distance himself from his thoughts and not fuses with them, and the symptoms of body dysmorphia are reduced in him. It is suggested that the results of the present study be used for the psychological training of cosmetic surgery applicants with dysmorphic syndromes, especially focusing on the concepts of self-compassion and cognitive fusion.

AbstractAmmonia toxicity is one of the most common types of poisoning in fish, which sometimes manifests itself in acute and sometimes chronic forms. Ammonia enters the water from various sources such as industrial wastes, agricultural runoff, and decomposition of microorganisms living in water and as the final excreta resulting from the catabolism of proteins and amino acids in aquatic animals. Ammonia poisoning is associated with a wide range of symptoms due to the concentration of this substance. These symptoms can range from simple behavioral changes to severe neurological symptoms and death. Fish adopt different strategies when this poisoning occurs; these include reducing nutrition, reducing protein metabolism, detoxifying ammonia and turning it into less toxic substances. Almost all fish organs respond to ammonia poisoning, but organs such as the liver, gills, muscles, and brain play a more prominent role in the development of symptoms, condition control, and detoxification. Understanding the biochemical mechanisms of these organs in the face of ammonia toxicity and understanding the pathophysiology of this toxicity can help prevent or manage this poisoning if it occurs. Of course, not all fish species respond the same way to ammonia toxicity, and some species that are more resistant may be better breeding options. Manuscript profile

prescription is a law principle which oversees the verdicts, trials and pronouncements and according to the significant effects it has in people's commercial and law relationship, it enjoys a particular judicial position based upon this principle's tenets, if the person doesn't ask for the lawsuit during the determinate time in order to regain his rights, his rights will be evanesced or at least it may cause his lawsuit not to be listened and consequently this will result in negation of the person's ownership domination over his right. On the counter point, according to Shiite religious jurists, the right for taking vengeance will not be integrated and whenever the qualifications exist and there is no contradiction, it will be applicable. Since taking vengeance is considered as a right of creditor over debtor, presuming that we accept "prescription" there will be an evident conflict between the prescription principle and the right for taking vengeance. Religious jurists by referring to this principle that " Ø§Ù„ØÙ‚Ù‘ Ù‚Ø¯ÛŒÙ…ØŒ Ù„Ø§ ÛŒØ¨Ø·Ù„Ù‡ Ø§Ù„Ø´Ø¦" do not include the exertion of the right for vengeance within the 'prescription principle', so they consider it preferential to the 'prescription principle'. It seems that by affirming symptoms evidence, the right for vengeance will be negated and will not be applicable. Manuscript profile

       In order to study effect of lambsquarters (Chenopodium album) interference on some traits of marigold (Calendula officinalis) and weed seed production index a factorial experiment was conducted during 2012 in Islamic Azad University, Tabriz Branch, based on randomized complete blocks design in 3 replications. Studied factors were weed densities of 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 plants per meter row and its relative emergence times of simultaneously, 10, 20 and 30 days after crop. Results indicated that emergence of 4 weed plants per meter row had no significant effect on crop growth period. With increasing of weed density more than 4 plants per meter row leaf chlorophyle content index decreased fron 17.5 to 13.5 (17.5% reduction). Weed interference caused to earlier appearance of leaf senescence symptoms from 9 to 13 days. Effect of higher weed densities on plant height was more than lower densities. Lambsquarters had greater negative effect on marigold yield, and weed density was more effective than its emergence time. Harvest index in weedy plots reduced fron 32% to 25%. Essence yield in marigold decreased 14.4 mL m-2 per weed density. In weed plants emerged simultaneously, 10, 20 and 30 days after crop, 5.6%, 4.4%, 4.1% and 4% of above ground biomass allocated to seed, respectively. It is recommended for the weed controling in marigold field, when emerged atleast 2 plants per meter crop row simultaneously or 10 days after crop. Manuscript profile

Hence, the research purpose was to carry out an investigation into the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy in the decrease of depression and maniac symptoms of individuals diagnosed with bipolar disorder. A semi-experimental method with post-test-pre-test design was employed and a sample of 19 individuals diagnosed with bipolar disorder was assigned to the experimental (n=9) and control (n=10) groups. The subjects underwent 8 sessions of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and were tested in terms of maniac and depression symptoms. Covariance analysis indicated that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy could significantly reduce the depression symptoms in the experimental group as compared to the control group. However, no improvement was observed in maniac symptoms. Overall, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy can be a preferred therapy in the treatment of bipolar disorder in general and depression symptoms, in particular. Manuscript profile

Obsessive-compulsive is one of the most common disorders that often has a negative impact on psychological, social and occupational function with a chronic course. New research has shown the role of metacognitive structures in this disorder. The aim of this study was to predict the symptoms of Obsessive-compulsive with metacognition and delusional beliefs. For this purpose, during a descriptive correlational study, 202 students of Karaj Azad University were selected by convenience sampling method and were evaluated for obsessive-compulsive disorder, metacognition and delusional beliefs. Multivariate regression analysis showed that delusional beliefs and metacognitive beliefs can predict obsessive-compulsive symptoms separately. Dysfunctional metacognitive beliefs, such as negative cognitive beliefs about thoughts, negative metacognitive beliefs about oneself, or low cognitive efficiency, also activate threatening judgments about one's performance, these beliefs can disrupt a person's cognitive and behavioral functioning by creating a disturbing negative mental assessment, so that this assessment can intensify negative emotions, such as fear, which eventually manifests as anxiety. The findings of this study support the predictability of obsession through delusional beliefs. Manuscript profile

Chronic pain is a health problem that has a great impact on a person's emotions and physical and social functions. People with chronic diseases also face many psychological problems in addition to physical problems that these psychological factors mutually affect their illness. This study aimed to study the effectiveness of mindfulness therapy on psychological well-being and pain symptoms in children with chronic diseases (diabetes). For this purpose, during a quasi-experimental study designed as pre-test and post-test, 30 children with diabetes in Yazd Diabetes Center were selected by available sampling method and were randomly assigned to either the experimental or control groups. Subjects were evaluated for psychological well-being and chronic pain symptoms before and after the study. The experimental group received a 10-session mindfulness therapy program. The results of covariance analysis showed that mindfulness therapy is effective in psychological well-being and reducing chronic pain symptoms. Mindfulness seems to help to understand that negative emotions may occur, but are not a permanent part of the personality and it also allows the individual to respond to events thoughtfully rather than involuntary, and mindfulness has a positive effect on psychological well-being and the reduction of chronic pain symptoms in children with chronic diseases (diabetes).

Rheumatologic diseases are often associated with a high prevalence of psychological disorders. In spite of the prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis in Iran, the role of psychological factors has not been evaluated among the population affected by this disorder. The aim of the present study is to predict depressive symptoms and sleep quality based on rumination and it's subtypes in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis. To do so, in a descriptive correlational study, 75 patients with Rheumatoid arthritis referred to Hafiz rheumatology clinic at Shiraz University of Medical Science were selected through convenience sampling method, and assessed for style of response, quality of sleep, and depression. Research tools included Response Styles Questionnaire (RSQ), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Data analysis was performed coefficient of correlation and linear regressions were used to compare data. The results indicated that the rumination and its subtypes significantly predict the quality of sleep and depressive symptoms (p 0<01). Also, brooding was a better predictor than reflection to predict the sleep quality and depressive symptoms. Results confirmed that patients who are afflicted by chronic rumination are more likely to experience symptoms of depression and poor quality sleep. It may increase the complication of Rheumatoid Arthritis. Manuscript profile

The Meta-cognitive model is based on the assumption that obsessive thoughts are the result of negative interpretation of Meta-cognitive beliefs in relation to meaning or dangerous consequences of a particular thought or opinion. The distortion on meta-cognitive belief is effective on meanings and function of cognition. The present study aims to investigate the role of mediator variables such as taking responsibility and intersection of thoughts in relation between metacognitive beliefs and obsessive symptoms in non-clinical populations. For this purpose, in a descriptive study, 333 students (151 male and 182 female) were selected using multistage cluster random sampling.  They were tested in terms of metacognitive beliefs, responsibility attitude, taking responsibility, intersection of thoughts, obsessive-compulsive ideas. Path analysis and structural equation modeling indicated that metacognitive beliefs positively predict taking responsibility, the intersection of ideas and thoughts and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Also, there is an independent, significant difference between metacognitive beliefs and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. The research finding support the mediator variables of taking responsibility and intersection of thoughts on the relationship between metacognitive beliefs and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. So, we can say that metacognitive beliefs can better explain the obsessive symptoms through taking responsibility and intersection of thoughts. Manuscript profile

Obsessive illness is one of the severe problems and disorders, the cause of which is challenging to recognize and treat. Therefore, the research was conducted with the aim of predicting the relapse of obsessive-compulsive disorder based on the physical-psychological components of corona anxiety and emotional self-regulation in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. The research method was descriptive-correlation. Among the women suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder who referred to Parham Clinic in Kermanshah in 2023, 200 people were selected using the available sampling method and obsessive-compulsive questionnaire (Hodgson and Rachman, 1977), corona anxiety (Alipour et al., 2018) and emotional self-regulation (Gross and John, 2003) they completed. Data analysis was done with the methods of descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate regression with the help of SPSS version 26 statistical software. The results showed that corona anxiety (r=0.29 and p=0.014) and its components have a positive and significant correlation with the recurrence of obsessive-compulsive symptoms (p<0.05). Also, emotional self-regulation (r=-0.48 and p=0.018) and its dimensions were able to negatively and significantly predict the recurrence of obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Regression analysis using the simultaneous method also showed that predictor variables together predicted 31% of the variance of recurrence of obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Considering these results, it seems that by improving emotional self-regulation and controlling the anxiety of Corona, it is possible to reduce the recurrence of obsessive-compulsive symptoms in these patients.
