A cerebral aneurysm is an abnormal bulge in the cerebral artery that spreads where the blood vessel wall has weakened. Cerebral aneurysms may allow blood to leak into the subcutaneous space around the brain and cause damage to brain cells. Brain aneurysms can also be ruptured and can lead to serious and possibly fatal strokes. A cerebral aneurysm is known as swelling of a blood vessel in the brain. In the definition of these conditions, it is said that it looks like a hanging berry from a stem. In cases where most aneurysms do not rupture or cause health problems, samples that experience such conditions cause bleeding in the brain - hemorrhagic stroke. Intracranial hemorrhages have attracted much attention because of the increasing role of indirect maternal mortality and the importance of rapid diagnosis and treatment in reducing mortality, and since in many cases, they occur due to brain vascular aneurysm. The topic is also essential. When faced with an aneurysm in a pregnant woman, the decision about pregnancy, termination and termination is based on the indications of midwifery and decision-making about the diagnosis and treatment of aneurysm based on neurosurgical indications.

Today, due to the increase in life expectancy in HIV-infected patients, the incidence of related diseases such as hepatitis B and C due to similarity in transmission routes has become a major concern of the health community. Therefore, this study was performed to determine the prevalence of hepatitis B among HIV + patients in Zabol. This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on 37 HIV-infected patients in Zabol city (2021-2022). In the present study, HIV-infected patients were screened for hepatitis B by measuring serum levels of HBC Ab and HBs Ag. Finally, the data in SPSS V21 software were analyzed. In the present study, a total of 37 HIV-infected patients with a mean age of 40.81- 11.64 years were evaluated. The present study's prevalence of HIV and HCV co-infection was 21.6%. Also, 13.5% of HIV patients had HBV and HCV simultaneously. Examination of risk factors for viral hepatitis in HIV-infected patients showed that unprotected sex (100%), injecting drug use or IDU (87.5%), dental procedures (75%), history of imprisonment (62.5%) and tattooing (50.5%) were the most common factors in HIV patients. Family history of hepatitis B (12.5%), alcohol (12.5%), transfusion (12.5%) and cupping (25%) were among the lowest cases in these patients. the frequency of HBV infection and co-infection with HCV and HBV in HIV-positive patients were relatively high. Except for the history of tattoos, there is no significant relationship between other risk factors and hepatitis B among HIV-positive patients.

Abstract
The DNA polymorphisms found in clinical strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis drive altered physiology, virulence, and pathogenesis in them. This study aimed to investigate the association between IL23R 1142 G/A (Arg381Gln) and GM-CSF 3928 C/T (Ile117Thr) gene polymorphisms with the incidence rate of ...

The DNA polymorphisms found in clinical strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis drive altered physiology, virulence, and pathogenesis in them. This study aimed to investigate the association between IL23R 1142 G/A (Arg381Gln) and GM-CSF 3928 C/T (Ile117Thr) gene polymorphisms with the incidence rate of tuberculosis in the population of Sistan. This study was based on the descriptive and applied type. All patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis were referred to the tuberculosis center of Zabol city for one year, with an equal number of healthy people adapted to the patients examined in terms of age. After data collecting to compare the frequency of polymorphisms, the chi-square test and OR index were used using SPSS software version 16. We have found that the IL23R reduced-function allele 1142A and genotypes CC and TC were overrepresented, especially in the Pad subgroup compared with the control group (44% versus 42%, 21% versus 22%, and 44% versus 39%, respectively. Increased risks of TB with minimal/moderate lung involvement, respectively. Our results demonstrate that the reduced-function polymorphism 1142G ¡ A encoded by IL23R influences the outcome of disease severity of active pulmonary TB in ZABOL patients. The genotypic and allelic frequency of IL23R 1142 G/A, and GM-CSF 3928 C/T (Ile117Thr) polymorphism in patients with tuberculosis was significantly different from the control group and this polymorphism was associated with the incidence of tuberculosis in the population of Sistan.

Changes in blood sugar in poisoning can be one of the most important determinants of the outcome of patients with poisoning. Since poisoning is one of the most common and increasing causes of death worldwide and one of the most critical medical emergencies, this study aimed to investigate changes in blood sugar in patients with acute poisoning and how patients' blood sugar can predict the severity and outcome of the disease. The present study was performed on 200 patients with acute drug poisoning referred to the emergency department of Amir Al-Momenin Hospital in Zabol from March 2018 to March 2020. Blood glucose levels of all patients were recorded at the time of admission and every hour to the first 5 hours after admission, and the results were entered in the information form of each patient. Finally, the data were entered into SPSS V22 software and statistically analyzed. The mean age of participants was 23.21 ± 12.80 years, and the minimum and maximum age of patients were 1 year and 77 years, respectively, and only 9.8% of them had a history of diabetes. In this study, the highest rate of intoxication with opioids such as methadone and tramadol was (38%), followed by benzodiazepines (20.5%), NSAIDs (19.5%), and SSRIs (7%) were the most commonly used drugs. The prevalence of hypoglycemia in this study was 3% (6 patients), while no cases of hyperglycemia were reported. In this study, most changes in blood sugar were caused by alcohol poisoning. Also, neuroleptics, NSAIDs, and chemicals had the least changes in blood sugar. However, patients' blood sugar at the beginning of poisoning did not affect patients' prognosis. The present study results showed that changes in blood sugar during treatment during drug intoxication, alcohol, medications(sulfonylurea, glibenclamide), and NSAID are very important, so regular monitoring of blood glucose in intoxication with these cases is essential.
